 So Mike, you all just kind of figured out your issues with kicking in the season, but just not simply needing to kick them? That's the easiest field goal answer. And I continue to ask Greg, I'm like, you're going to make him right? And he's like, absolutely. And so we're not planning on using you. We just practice extra points all day. And that's really something that we've been able to do. Arthur and Todd and all those guys on offense do a fantastic job of getting everybody involved and running things that we've done since April, and then trying to add a new few plays every week so that the players can have some carryover with what we've done for a long time against a bunch of coverages and then some scheme things that we think can help us. Have you been aggressive down there because of the kicking issues and the unknown? In every week's different. I really think that there have been times where we feel like that because of the way that the game's going or who we're playing that we always need to be aggressive, I would say that that would change based on how the game's going. He's done a great job. However many touchdowns that we've scored since Greg's been here, I feel like the operation and the way that he's kicked the football on the extra points is a good indication that he's confident and that he's swinging it well and I think that if you look around the league, some kickers have missed as many extra points that they have field goals and we know that that's a different kick now than what it was. So to me those extra points are field goals. Again everybody that's available, everybody that can, all our players that we need them all. So he's going to help us. I would say that he looked good. We'll need to know more today. We'll practice today. We'll have third down. Those will be opportunities for him to get back out there and work with Ryan and work with the quarterbacks. Mike, to talk to the players, they've said the messages stayed pretty consistent from last season to this season, but for you personally, were there lessons from your first year as a head coach that you feel like has made you a better coach this year? I mean there's always, you have to take something from every year, from every season, from every week and try to improve. You look at the game and you look at how you prepared the team, maybe what you did at practice or things that you did within the game plan offensively or defensively and on special teams. I felt like there were times we played well and then we're just inconsistent and I think I've tried to stay consistent in my approach to the team. You know, and not just get, you know, lose my cool and try to just continue to coach and fix the things that need to be fixed, stay as positive as I possibly could be, as hard as that may seem to be to imagine. And when we aren't playing well, I have to make sure that everybody's held accountable and we're pointing things out, but you've got to give them answers to fix it. You can't just say, well, we've got to play better. We have to give them answers and we have to continue to work technique and fundamentals during practice. And, you know, the schedule, I mean, I spent a lot of time on the schedule making sure that the players have rest and that there's recovery at different parts in the season using those numbers and see how the tracking numbers and see how far guys are running and the mileage and the speed and when they need to pull back in practice. Was there any reoccurring theme when you put together your staff because it's kind of unique the way all you got literally roll your sleeves up and you're out there in the drills with the players? I mean, I think that the biggest thing would be loyalty. This is a hard league and a hard business, whether you're coaching in high school, college or professional sports or business. You want to hire people that want to ascend to be at the top of their profession, but in doing that there's a right way and there's a wrong way sometimes guys will undercut people to get there. People will undercut other people. And I think that I learned that loyalty is critical to be able to win. Everybody's going to have a different opinion, but what has to happen is there has to be one voice. You have to listen to everybody's input and then make decisions and then the people that are giving input have the ability to respect that and have their opinion heard. But what happens in different cases is guys will go into rooms and say, I really didn't want to do it this way, but this is how so-and-so wants to do it. And the players see that and they respond negatively to that. I love our staff. I love their families. I love seeing their kids here during training camp and on walk-throughs. Taylor dresses up in a fancy Santa Claus suit and gives presents out to all the kids and the families and the players' families. So I would say loyalty is the biggest thing that I'm looking for and then we'll try to teach everybody else after that. You were hoping taken by surprise when you got traded to Kansas City? No, no. I walked in, guys. Sometimes you get exactly what you asked for and that's a long time ago, so I'm not even going to talk about that. I wasn't surprised. In terms of this staff, what gave you confidence to hire Arthur in the first place and then when you elevated and what made you think he was ready for that? Arthur had been here. He worked through a bunch of different coaches. He's coached players. I evaluated him. We played against him. Played against his tight ends. They were always well-prepared. They were physical. Delaney was a very productive player. They were hard to go against. They blocked. They were physical. They finished. Came here, was excited to interview him and knew quickly that he was the right guy to continue on as our tight ends coach. Then when Matt got his opportunity to go to Green Bay, Matt, I would say, gave him an endorsement. Arthur also was outside my office at five in the morning and wanted me to know that he wanted the job. I think that that's also important. Sometimes people don't really know what you want until you tell them. I think he was always about the team. He was always about loyalty. He was loyal to the head coaches that he worked for and the teams that he's worked for. Not to mention, he was very well-qualified and has done a great job. When it's really... And if you have seen something, is it more in case of physically getting completely healthy or is there more to it than that? I think with the offensive line and a lot of positions, this technique is critical. I think his techniques improved. I think he's focused hard on his technique. I think he's taking care of his body. And I think he's playing with some confidence. Particularly cold, what kind of things with the field or the ball do players need to be concerned with? Or aware of, maybe? I don't think that the temperature necessarily does anything. Maybe if the ground's not heated, if there's not coils underneath there, it could be playing on a hard surface. But when it's cold and you get hit, it doesn't feel good. And so we're going to focus on playing and understanding whatever the conditions are. If the field's hard, we'll have the right kind of cleats that will try to do everything. If it rains, if it snows, we'll have to not let those things affect us. Speaking of mechanical media person, there's video of you in Baltimore getting trucked on the sideline by a ref. What happened? Well, that's why we get up in the morning, stretching. I get up so early in the morning to go and get into the weight room, so that when you get illegally blocked in the back like I did, it doesn't hurt. I didn't go to the ground. He didn't knock me down. Eugene can run and he's big and he's fast. And I was just embarrassed because I said, if I get a penalty, the players aren't going to... I mean, after all this stuff I tell them and all this crap I talk to them about penalties and being disciplined and keeping your composure. And here I am halfway out on the field looking up at the play on the Jumbotron. So, you know, the get back coach got to do a better job. I got to do a better job of getting the hell out of the way. But I showed the team this morning because, you know, I knew they were going to laugh at me anyway. So I figured I might as well show them first. What was the feedback? They laughed. I mean, like they do a lot of stuff that I do. It didn't hurt? No, it didn't hurt. Obviously this year's been a little bit of a challenge going from playing more to less. Just an amazing leader. And again, you have to have those types of players. There's all different types of players when you look at a roster. And as players, you go through this different phases of your career. And again, we use him as an example, as an undrafted player who earned his right in this league on special teams that ascended to a starting player that moved teams and still was a starting player, but also was a contributor on special teams. He's our special teams captain. It means a lot to him. He's been supportive. He's always prepared, but he supports Rashawn and Jayon and David who he was 10 or 12 years ago. He's been a good mentor for him. Absolutely. The one thing that leaders do is they don't just sit in their position room and they don't just focus on their own position. All our leaders, I feel like, have been able to branch out and find a way to connect with guys across the ball, guys on different positions. And I think you certainly need that. He's got a length. He's got athleticism. He's a very instinctive player. I would say that before the snap he knows whether it's man or zone. And he's going to run his routes accordingly. He's got a great relationship with the quarterback. He's physical, down the field. He's hard to tackle. 72% catch percentage. He's got 136 targets or whatever it is. 97 catches. And so it's a difficult matchup. He's willing to block. I've got a lot of admiration for Travis and what he's done in his career. He grew up playing high school football in the state of Ohio. That's what you get. Several of you guys have mentioned the idea this week that there's no 53rd guy or no 46th guy on this team. How important is it to you that you've instilled that thinking? Or 63rd or 64th guy. Whatever it may be. We're just trying to... John and I look at it every week and every day and we say, what do we need? Who are we looking at? Let's work these guys out. And is this guy going to fit into our plans better than the guys that we have? Is this guy working? Is this guy on the practice squad? Is he continuing to work? Or is he just basically plateaued? And he wants to just come to work and run a card. And we always ask those guys and I think that they can look around the room and say, hey, that guy was on the practice squad and caught a touchdown in a big game. Or he's returning pints or he's now playing. And I think that I hope that that's some sort of motivation for these guys to continue to work and develop. And our coaches coach them. They work with them in individual drills. They watch tape of their show team reps at the end of the week. Maybe a different defense and they may be doing a different card. But they look at their technique and they talk to them about their fundamentals and we make sure that that stuff happens. Do you want that guy to know his role is as important as Ryan or Derek? Yeah, there's no... The mentality that I guess I try to live my life with that there's no job too small to help us win. And whether that's Lynn Coya or Johnny that keeps our building clean or Anwar or Brittany that makes our breakfast or Haas and Big John and Joey that make sure that our coaching gear and our players' equipment's all taken care of or Todd and his staff. There's a lot of people that go into an organization that helps us win and I always make sure our players understand that. Andy's been a head coach in this league for 21 years and the league's a better place because Andy Reed and his family are in it. Tyler had the opportunity to be coached by one of his sons, Spencer, at Boston College in the weight room and Tyler immediately took to him and he's like, this guy's great. You can tell that Andy's his dad and he's been a great mentor to me in this process of not only transitioning this league from college but also becoming a head coach and being willing to answer questions about what it is I need to do and try to get better or how to get this job or interview or things that come up. He was unbelievably smart and talented play caller. I think 13 of his 21 years his offenses have been in the top 10 in scoring. They know how to score. He knows how to put points on the board. You can see his relationship with his players. They love him and they play hard. What has blasted him giving you as a lead blocker that maybe you didn't have when you didn't have an actual fullback? You know, Prue was doing a nice job. I mean, Prue wasn't... Prue was getting to all the blocks that we needed. You know, I think the one thing with Kari is that it got there a little quicker just because of his skill set. He's a smaller, faster player than what Prue is. In some of these runs, it gets dirty. It's not what the picture looks like. And so, you know, if you have a guy that has played running back or carried the ball, he can maybe see the hole and see where the opening is that he has to kind of come back and get to. And he's caught the ball well. He's played special teams for us. And again, it's been a good addition to us, our roster in the middle of the season. Do you guys have had some extra fuel in the last couple of weeks from the Brady type video and Earl Thomas and things that they said, but your team has stayed focused and really hasn't said anything and just kind of stayed in the course. Is that just who the team is, or is that something that the staff has instilled in them? What is that? We just try to come every day, work, prepare, find out what it is that we need to do to improve, to work on the opponent. We try to ignore whatever the outside noise is, focus on us and do everything we can to try to win. Those things all happen. Everything can get turned twisted sideways. We talk a lot during the week as far as putting the team first and making sure we're concentrating on us.
