You know they didn't be in the folks super Bowls in the past was six years. So it's a great feeling to try to go in there and knock off, you know, the best team in the world over the past five six years. What do you what does Rice look like to you as a young player?

Uh.

He kind of remind me of Depo a little bit, you know what I'm saying. Good Rod run in to a physical Once you get the ball in his hands, he can make plays, make guys miss. So we gotta go out there and just try to match his physicality and be physical with 'em all game.

Do you want for any advice about uh the Mahomes Kelsey connection and and how to possibly address that. Uh, take care of that.

I mean that match up is I mean that duos kind of one on one. You know what I'm saying is nobody nobody like 'em. So we just gotta go out there and just try try hardest man try best. We know they got great great Kim, So we just gotta go out there and match. You know, they intensity all game, they Hall of famers. But I mean we just gotta up our level of play.

I just set a time that Kelsey either runs the wrong ro rout or just see something and sits down, Like can can you prepare for a player that you know plays with instinct or you know, is there any way to do?

Yeah? I mean TRAFP is just more like if he see if he got a a certain route, and if you see if you see a guy sitting out there to where his route gotta go. I mean obviously he not gonna just run to the guy. He'll just sit down and find a hole in the defense. And that's what I mean by the chemistry earlier, like they just they just know each to the real world, you know what I mean. So and you gotta go out there and just try to try to mass that people if you, uh fend.

How do you kind of strike that balance of like knowing when the shoots you're goun to to go.

Stop the screen game versus like making sure something doesn't get over your head.

I mean, we're gonna shoot our gun. They every play the safeties if the corner shoot they gun. I mean, we gonna have somebody to back us up every play. We know, the screens and the jet sweeps and reverses being kind of our weakness all season and definitely in the playoffs.
