Creed Humphrey says Chiefs’ offensive line prepared for Texans challenge
It looks like there could be some replacement offensive linemen this week. I guess what’s the challenge for, for you if, if you know that that comes to me. Yeah, for us, uh, whoever’s gonna be in the game, uh, they’re gonna be ready to roll. So for me it’s just, uh, making sure the communication is good, everybody’s on the same page and um everybody’s ready to play. Josh has had *** pretty up and down season, but when he’s played, he’s been really good. What have you tried to instill in him as part of this next chapter in his career given that, you know, he’s had to go on IR to get the surgery. Yeah, I mean, obviously *** tremendously talented player, uh, really talented, uh, great at *** lot of things. So for him it’s just, uh, you know, being able to be consistent and, uh, You know, uh, he’s his, his, uh, potentials, uh, sky’s the limit for that, so he’s *** really talented player and, uh, for us it’s just, uh, making sure, uh, I’m, I’m, he’s on the same page as us, uh, as far as communication, uh, throughout the place things like that, but, uh, he’s done *** great job for us, and I’m excited to see what he does in the future. Cree, what do you make of just where you guys are and what the response needs to be over these next 5 weeks? Yeah, you know, it just, it feels really close. It feels, you know, just *** couple plays here and there each game, and, uh, things would be different. So for us it’s just, um, making sure we’re coming in with the right mindset every day, um, doing everything, you know, one meeting at *** time, one, walk through at *** time, one practice at *** time, making sure we’re getting everything we can out of each day and, uh, improving each day and, uh, so we do that, uh, you know, we’re gonna like what we’re gonna be doing, so, uh, for us it’s just about making sure we’re being consistent throughout the week and executing when we’re supposed to execute. You, you’ve never been on *** team, Chiefs team that’s that had this record this late in the season. Is there ***, *** championship DNA, uh, in this locker room that can, that can be applied the last month of the season? Yeah, I mean, for like, like I just said, it’s, it’s about consistency, you know, it’s about showing up every day. It’s about, um, coming in on game day, executing, you know, doing your job, things like that. So for us it’s just about, you know, the ship’s not sinking or anything, you know, we’re still right where we would need to be just, uh, making sure we’re coming in and improving each week. With one day and Mike specifically just how have you seen the course of their development because Mike’s got *** lot of good playing time but one day hasn’t been as much. How do you see their development over the course of practices that makes you feel confident when they come to the game? Yeah, well, first off, they’re both really talented players, you know, they both have all the, uh, intangibles that you’d want an offensive linemen and, uh, Coach’s done *** great job developing developing them since they’ve been here. So, uh, for us it’s just, uh, you know, we’re we’re, we’re confident in them, uh, and we’re confident in everybody in the room, so, uh. For, uh, that it’s just, you know, we’re excited to see, uh, them get after them, uh, playing if they’re playing, so yeah, what can you tell us about Houston’s defense, especially, yeah, uh, very talented, uh, all across the board, you know, all three levels of the defense, very talented. They present *** good challenge, so, uh. You know, they have great pass rushers, great players inside, great linebackers, great secondary. So it’s, it’s, it presents *** good challenge and uh the guys are excited for it. We’re ready to get in here and work throughout this week and uh. Get the game plan figured out and um show up on Sunday ready to play. Are they like *** blitzing team stunting team? I mean how do they how do they get to the quarterback? Yeah, they just, they play aggressive defense, you know, they’re really sound technically, really sound schematically, and, uh, play very hard. Everybody has *** great motor on the defense, so, uh, you know, whatever scheme they’re playing that week, they’re doing *** great job with it, uh, so for us it’s just about coming out and making sure we match that energy and bring more and, uh. Um, just show up with the right mindset on Sunday. Yeah, I think it’s huge, you know, like I said, it was all, all the games have been close, uh, you know, it’s *** few plays here and there, and, uh, we’d be looking at different results. So for us it’s just about making sure we’re coming and being consistent and executing when we need to execute.
