DT Zach Sieler

(What do you think is most unique about the Chiefs offense and what they bring?) – “They’re just a very versatile offense. Obviously they’re a great offense. They have lots of weapons and we’ve just got to prepare accordingly.”

(When you study Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and how difficult it is or is not to sack him, what do you notice?) – “He’s very elusive. He’s very good at reading the pocket and getting out of the pocket. We’ve just got to make sure we’re on top of things and we do what we can.”

(You guys have been aggressive throughout the year. How do you balance that against a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes, who can sort of dice an aggressive defense at times?) – “We definitely have a game plan for this offense because they are so powerful and have so many weapons on the edge, inside, quarterback and all of that kind of stuff. So we’re really just making sure our game plan is right and doing what we can.”

(Kind of piggybacking on that question, what’s the challenge and what’s the benefit of being able to get pressure with your front four, particularly up the middle?) – “Yeah, you’ve got to get pressure. Obviously they have lots of guys that can burn you and get long bombs and (Mahomes) has the arm for it. You’ve got to get in there. You can’t just let him sit back there. That’s a challenge, to make sure we get there and don’t let him extend plays.”

(The three rookie offensive linemen, that was the first time in team history that three rookies have started on the line. Going up against them in practice, I was wondering what your impressions were of G/T Robert Hunt, T Austin Jackson and G Solomon Kindley, and the work they did this past Sunday to keep QB Tua Tagovailoa clean.) – “Yeah, they work. All throughout camp when I was here, they were coming in just as rookies and they strapped up and worked. I think they’ve definitely taken the steps they needed to do as rookies to progress and protect Tua back there and become a great o-line for us.”
