6
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Back to Shawn Salisbury.

7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.679
<v Speaker 3>It's supposed to be really, really, really cold in Kansas City.

8
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 3>We talked about a little bit yesterday in regards to

9
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 3>the weather and how it's just gonna get colder as

10
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 3>the day goes on. It's the playoffs. A lot of

11
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 3>these teams that you're going to be playing outdoor stadiums,

12
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.640
<v Speaker 3>it's going to be cold. So Demiko talked about the

13
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.039
<v Speaker 3>mindset going in to a cold weather atmosphere.

14
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.159
<v Speaker 4>The weather can be a challenge if you allow it

15
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 4>to be a challenge. For me and for our guys.

16
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 4>It's something we can't control. You don't control the weather.

17
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 4>All right, wherever we have to play, we're ready to

18
00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 4>go play. We understand we'll be on the road, is

19
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 4>gonna be cold. That's that's what we have to deal with.

20
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 4>And it's not a it's not a challenge for us.

21
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 4>It's just something the other team has to deal with

22
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:12.480
<v Speaker 4>as well. So we're ready to go there's no excuses

23
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.040
<v Speaker 4>about weather. We gotta go suit up and we gotta

24
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:15.680
<v Speaker 4>go play ball.

25
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:20.000
<v Speaker 5>Gotta go play ball. You can't control the weather man.

26
00:01:20.159 --> 00:01:23.719
<v Speaker 5>The reality of it, though, is it's a funny thing.

27
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if you've ever felt this. It doesn't

28
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 5>matter what level of sports you played. That feeling of

29
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.400
<v Speaker 5>you know, the game's coming, it's a big game. You

30
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 5>know it's gonna be cold or rainy, all those things

31
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 5>that go and like on a Monday, you're like, yeah,

32
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 5>we got to plan a game, but there's a party

33
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:41.159
<v Speaker 5>that thinks it's never showing up right, Oh the weather,

34
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 5>we will. And then when you wake up on game

35
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 5>day and it's game day, yeah, and the world's watching

36
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 5>when I say the world, the football world, and you're

37
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.879
<v Speaker 5>one of eight left, and it's getting more pressure and

38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 5>the more you and you know how this goes. Have

39
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.280
<v Speaker 5>you ever had that point when you're feeling pressure, not

40
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.159
<v Speaker 5>feeling right and or ill prepared for something, and then

41
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 5>it's cold.

42
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>You're colder, you know what I'm saying.

43
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:06.760
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there's that feeling of you're even more like nerves

44
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 5>bring out make you even feel colder. It's weird. I

45
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 5>don't I don't even know how to explain. I don't

46
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:12.520
<v Speaker 5>know if I'm explaining it right, but that feeling of

47
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 5>the playoffs Sean, you're starting in your first playoff game,

48
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.719
<v Speaker 5>Oh cool, I got five days, and you think it's

49
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 5>never coming. And then you but you prepare, you think,

50
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 5>oh it's okay. It's a long and you blink in

51
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 5>his pregame warm up and you're like, I gotta beat Denvers. Yeah,

52
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 5>or I got to beat whoever I'm playing right and

53
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 5>with them, the Kansas City Chiefs and all the challenges

54
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 5>are there, but I'm with Demiko Ryan's on one thing

55
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 5>and it helped me in my career. Listen, and I

56
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:40.479
<v Speaker 5>don't mean this arrogant, but if I could have played

57
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 5>in bad weather as a California guy, yeah, it's really weird.

58
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 5>A lot of my best player play ever was in

59
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.120
<v Speaker 5>either rain, snow, cold, inclement, where I almost felt like

60
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 5>it was my advantage of whether it's mental toughness or

61
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 5>size too you could grip the ball, but whatever it was,

62
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.080
<v Speaker 5>I tried to spin it to my it's my advantage

63
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 5>because that guy suffering, But I don't know, I'm not

64
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:03.199
<v Speaker 5>suffering over this.

65
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Do you think it was because you thought more about

66
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 3>the the conditions rather than the game plan, or rather

67
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 3>than I got to complete this pass. So I I'm

68
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 3>trying to relate it to the best game I ever

69
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 3>played in college. I was hungover as all get out. Well,

70
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 3>it took away game. You'd have a built in excuse

71
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 3>for your I wasn't thinking about I wasn't thinking about

72
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 3>pitch sequencing. I wasn't thinking about is he going to

73
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 3>try to pitch me backwards? It was literally I went

74
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>back to the most simple thing, seaball hit ball, and

75
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.400
<v Speaker 3>I was like I went off on a weekend because

76
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 3>I was completely hungover.

77
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:37.479
<v Speaker 5>I'm convinced that some of the best games I remember

78
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 5>a high school game I played. I was sick, like

79
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:40.439
<v Speaker 5>I mean sick.

80
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

81
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 5>It was a high school football game, and I was

82
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:47.240
<v Speaker 5>I had like a lower abdomen like strain, which was

83
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 5>that's brutal painful at quarterbacks. Oh god, dude, I were

84
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 5>playing against our arrival. I wouldn't have missed it for you.

85
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 5>You to have to kill me before I miss that game. Yeah,

86
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Sampa squall Golden Eagles, And I take that back. It

87
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 5>was a Sampa squad we got to It was Escandido

88
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.039
<v Speaker 5>High School same. There's three of us. They were our

89
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 5>other rival, and we're at their facility, and I thinking

90
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.599
<v Speaker 5>being pregame, t how am I get through this? And

91
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 5>then and then the abdomen You're like, I don't know

92
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 5>how it's going to did. I could have closed my eyes,

93
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.960
<v Speaker 5>thrown yanked out of my eye and it would have

94
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:17.560
<v Speaker 5>gone right to the guy I was stilling it to.

95
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.399
<v Speaker 2>It's just you know why, It's that it's the building.

96
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 5>You don't you take all the pressure off yourself because

97
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.839
<v Speaker 5>you almost build in the excuse. Well, if I don't play,

98
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 5>not for out outward, if I don't play well today,

99
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:28.959
<v Speaker 5>I got a built in excuse.

100
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 3>And what it does It actually frees up your mis

101
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 3>It makes you freeze. It's like you play back in

102
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 3>your backyard recess fuel.

103
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 5>That's exactly right. So it also with the mental part. Listen,

104
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.360
<v Speaker 5>there are times when hey, we can't control the weather,

105
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.839
<v Speaker 5>can't let it bothers now in a driving rainstorm where

106
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 5>it's a deluge of rain and the ball you literally

107
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 5>you see him hold a towel or one of those

108
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.720
<v Speaker 5>type of rainstorms. Listen, it's hard to throw any It

109
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 5>doesn't matter, It doesn't matter if you got King Kong

110
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.959
<v Speaker 5>hands right, the you can wear a size seventeen extra large,

111
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.879
<v Speaker 5>it's still miserable because the guy catching it it's tough

112
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 5>on him too, and you can't see and people are slipping.

113
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 5>Now in a snowstorm, that's just regular snow. And I've

114
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.680
<v Speaker 5>always if it's raining or inclement weather, offense always has

115
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 5>an advantage. You know where you're going, you know where

116
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.839
<v Speaker 5>your cuts are. Defense is a major disadvantage. So but

117
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 5>the cold and a little snow, Listen, you hope it

118
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.800
<v Speaker 5>snows because if it's too cold to snow, that's miserable.

119
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:29.800
<v Speaker 5>And then if it's not quite cold enough to snow

120
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 5>and it's rain and that's miserable. You want that one

121
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 5>where it's snow, hopefully not windy, because when's the worst

122
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:37.639
<v Speaker 5>of them all, because it affects you going into it

123
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 5>and with it, and you want that. That's the feeling

124
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 5>you want the snow. But for me, I never wore

125
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:44.759
<v Speaker 5>a glove on my throwing hand in any weather. I

126
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 5>wore one on my other hand, just to you know,

127
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 5>try and get some sense of warmth. And then you

128
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.639
<v Speaker 5>have handwarmers in that little pouch that we wear. But

129
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 5>I never I always wanted to have my hands on

130
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 5>the foot of the grip of it, right, but it

131
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 5>was it was mental and it was tough.

132
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.560
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know how you get to it.

133
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 5>But you've got to get You've got to convince yourself

134
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 5>throughout the week because the game is coming. Saturday will

135
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 5>be here, and it's coming here quicker than you think

136
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 5>is you go through the same preparation. And the truth

137
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:15.360
<v Speaker 5>is you just can't overly grind yourself on it. It's

138
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 5>gonna be cold, it's gonna come.

139
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:17.079
<v Speaker 2>You can't.

140
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 5>It's not like you can start like when you hydrate,

141
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.000
<v Speaker 5>start drinking water and Tuesday from when you're going to

142
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.439
<v Speaker 5>play Denver and you're hydrated, or it's one hundred and

143
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 5>ten degrees out, you're not going to stand outside with

144
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.480
<v Speaker 5>you with your hands on your knizz zuts, you know,

145
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 5>at midnight at night for the next three nights, thinking

146
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 5>you're gonna get used to it.

147
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:33.480
<v Speaker 2>You're not.

148
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.000
<v Speaker 5>It's the mental side. And once you get rolling, it's good.

149
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 5>You play well, you'll get hot quickly, you're miserables, get

150
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.279
<v Speaker 5>your ass kicked. It'll feel a lot colder. So yeah,

151
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 5>but to me, and I think to me, because right

152
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.600
<v Speaker 5>it is simply why was Far so good in inclement weather?

153
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 5>His mental toughness with it. He used it to his advantage.

154
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.920
<v Speaker 5>A lot of them do. It's the one who comes

155
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 5>into the game and it's like, yeah, you know, if

156
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 5>you start convincing yourself.

157
00:06:58.000 --> 00:06:59.199
<v Speaker 2>You're going to be miserable the whole time.

158
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.240
<v Speaker 5>Good lucky, fulfilling prophecy, and it could be missing and

159
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 5>it's gonna be cold as balls. But you're either gonna

160
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 5>come out of this game you want regrets or you

161
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 5>mean you're gonna come out of this game saying, man.

162
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:10.519
<v Speaker 2>It was cold.

163
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 5>We got our ass kicked and now we got to

164
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 5>explain it. Or do you want to come out of

165
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.319
<v Speaker 5>this thing? I was freezing, but we want and they'll

166
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 5>let them explain why the cold was bad? Right, So

167
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 5>it is and you know it's like threshold of pain,

168
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 5>same thing here. Yeah you either And like I said,

169
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 5>it'll affect everybody if it's a delusion. You can't see

170
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 5>the ball, you can't see receiver because rain and sideways

171
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.040
<v Speaker 5>and windy, nobody can operate. And you hand the ball

172
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.560
<v Speaker 5>off and hope you win the game, survive. But if

173
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 5>it's cold, and I'm talking about fifteen degrees eight togree. Well,

174
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.560
<v Speaker 5>and if you can't handle it mentally, then you then

175
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.920
<v Speaker 5>you probably better have an off season where you change

176
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.199
<v Speaker 5>your shift to paradigm or find a way to deal

177
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 5>with it.

178
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's just the way it works. Uh.

179
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Demico Ryans talked about the swarm mentality and what it

180
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:52.480
<v Speaker 3>does for his defense.

181
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about it next
