00:00When it comes to pressure, do players get excited about it?
00:03Like, is there a thirst?
00:04Is there a, you can't wait for this blitz to be called?
00:07I think they, I think if you ask most defensive players,
00:10they'd tell you that they enjoy that part of it,
00:12especially the guy that's actually blitzing.
00:15You know, the guy that gets stuck covering all the time,
00:17maybe they don't feel the same way,
00:18but yeah, it's an aggressive approach,
00:21and you know, by nature, defensive players
00:23want to be aggressive,
00:24so that's probably a pretty good statement.
00:25Does the play caller hold his breath,
00:27or is the play caller?
00:28I'm always praying, I'm not holding my breath,
00:30I'm always saying a prayer over there on the sideline,
00:33but it's all good, it's all good.
00:34Steve, you spent a year in Barcelona,
00:37what do you remember about that time?
00:38Listen, I loved Barcelona,
00:40we were there as the Olympics were coming in,
00:43and Jack McNeil, the head coach,
00:45I loved working for him, but the people were great,
00:47the fans were terrific,
00:48living over there on Sitges, at the beach there,
00:51was fun too, so I enjoyed my time there.
00:53Are you excited about the NFL going to first Madrid?
00:56Yeah, I had just read that a little while,
00:59I've always hoped that they would get over,
01:00maybe someday they'll be in Barcelona as well.
01:02I mean, so I coached in Frankfurt, Germany
01:05after the Barcelona years,
01:07and last year we were able to go as a Chiefs team
01:09to back to Frankfurt was special,
01:11maybe I get the chance to do the same thing back in Spain.
01:14Be great.
01:15You spent seven years as an assistant
01:17under this Eagle staff, under head coach Andy Reid,
01:20how has that time prepared you
01:21to now take over as a defensive coordinator
01:23for the Chiefs with another Andy Reid team?
01:25Yeah, well listen, I'm indebted to Andy,
01:27he brought me into the league in 1999
01:29on that first staff in Philadelphia,
01:32and then we kind of part,
01:34we were on separate teams for about 10 years period,
01:37and fortunately for me, you know,
01:39Andy was nice enough to bring me back on his staff,
01:42and I'm sure glad I'm back with him.
01:45Coach, any extra motivation for you
01:47playing against a team that you formerly worked for
01:49on Sunday and trying to beat them
01:51for the second time in three years?
01:53Well, listen, I think when you get to this point,
01:55it doesn't matter who you play,
01:57you feel really good if you can find a way to win,
01:58but I got a lot of respect for the Eagles,
01:59and I love Jeffrey Lurie, the owner there,
02:02and there's still some people there
02:04that my wife and I are really close to,
02:05so hopefully it'll be a really good game,
02:07and maybe we can find a way to come out on top,
02:10that would be a good thing.
02:11Coach, you're famous for obviously
02:13being a blitz-heavy coordinator,
02:14and bringing all different types of exotic blitzes.
02:18When I went through the film and watched
02:19the FC Championship, you were able to fool Josh Allen
02:22into Bill's offensive line late in the game,
02:24getting free rushers.
02:26How do you game plan for that,
02:27and how do you create those opportunities for your guys?
02:29Yeah, I think the way it's created
02:31is having good players, and assistant coaches
02:34that feed the game plan during the week,
02:37and then when we have something like that,
02:40it takes 11 guys operating at a high level in that moment,
02:45and they did that.
02:46I mean, not just the guys that were blitzing,
02:47but the guys that were covering.
02:49So that one particular play,
02:50I wish we'd have had more of those in the game,
02:52because 29 points was way too many for me,
02:55but fortunately for us, we had a good down.
02:58I saw you have D tackles dropping out,
02:59and you're running cover too behind it.
03:01It was impressive.
03:01My other question for you is,
03:03going up against the Philadelphia Eagles
03:05in the running attack, it's a different beast this week.
03:07Yeah, you don't get to do too many of those things
03:10when they're running the football.
03:11So, I mean, listen, first and second down
03:13is gonna be really important for us
03:15to get them in some of those situations
03:16where we can be aggressive,
03:18but they're solid everywhere,
03:21and that offensive line is hard to attack
03:23because of who they are and the way they play,
03:25but hopefully we'll have a couple of good plays go our way.
03:28And then my last question for you,
03:29how do you balance that fine line
03:31of getting your safeties and linebackers
03:32to disguise their coverage without getting out of position?
03:35Yeah, listen, our guys do a great job of that,
03:37I mean, and that is part of it,
03:39because you can get caught out of position.
03:41So, you know, if we're on point,
03:43we function well as 11 guys,
03:45then we've got a fighting chance of doing something.
03:47Awesome, good luck, son.
03:48Yeah, thank you.
03:48Scott, a quick question.
