ELVIS GRBAC - KANSAS CITY CHIEFS - CONFERENCE CALLDECEMBER 15, 1999

Do you have anything left in you after that game on Sunday night (Minnesota)? I'm trying tore-coop. With a short week and everything, I'm doing everything I can to rest up and get readyfor Saturday's game. I know our team is too.

What has been the change in the team's performance? You're playing better and seem to bemore on the edge than last year. After we were 5-5 and heading into Oakland, Gun(Cunningham) really just stressed to us that we have a good team. Wejust haven't put ittogether at certain points in the game that we played. There were games that we won that reallyjust showed the highlights of the team, and there were other times that we could have made someplays that could have changed the ball game and we just couldn't come up with them. The lastcouple games we've been making plays. We've been hanging in there and we've been playingfor four quarters offensively, defensively and special teams. The only thing is we just have thementality of that—whatever happens during the game we're just going to stay the course andplay our bests, Hopefully our best is good enough at the end.

Why are you doing that this year and you weren't able to turn it around last year? Last year wasa very difficult situation. Offensively, we didn't have a lot of confidence in what we were doing.This year we're running the ball extremely well. Our offensive line is playing really well rightnow. As a quarterback, you always want to have a good running game. I think we do thatextremely well and it really just sets up our plans in passes and things like that. We get some bigplays downfield. Our wide receivers have really taken a lot of pride in going down the field andcatching balls for us and making plays.

Is that running back by committee? Yes. It's good in a sense because guys are very unselfish.They understand that whoever is going to be in there has ajob to do. Everybody supports eachother. It's nice. All the running backs get along very well. They want to play as good as thcycan for the team. That's one thing that Gun (Cunningham) has really stressed on us that whoeveris in there at any position are playing for the team and the best for the team.

What has been the key to your turnaround? I think it's staying healthy. Every game is adifferent situation. Fm just trying to get better as a quarterback, not just in games but also inpractice. Every day I've taken it upon myself to try to get better at some skill of my position. Asa quarterback if you can do that, good things are going to happen for you. I've studied a lot offilm, a lot of good things. The most important thing is that I'm staying healthy this year. Therewere situations in the last two years that I would get hurt and be out for three or four weeks. Asa quarterback, that development week in and week out is just a precious thing that I've reallynoticed that this year. I think maybe that's where the turnaround has come around for me.

What was the lowest point for you this season? This season it was obviously our first game.We were on the road in the Chicago and had numerous opportunities to win the game and we justdidn't do it. As a team we look back at it now and it was one game I think we should have had.It's just one of those things that you can't go back on, but I think that was probably the lowestpoint.

How much does that mean to you. Gunther's (Cunningham) faith in you? That means a lot. Ithink the situation that we went through last year as a team was obviously very disappointing.As players we really didn't know what was going to happen in the offseason. We didn't know ifMarty (Schottenheimer) was going to be back or if he was leaving. Then when Gun(Cunningham) took the job, he really just put a lot of confidence in me. That showed that hewanted me to be the guy to go there and lead this team, Hopefully, it continues through the restof the year. As a player in the offseason not knowing what's going on and the head coach namesyou as the starter and the guy that we can count on is a great confidence booster.

Was the Steelers game a low point last year for the Chiefs and for you? Yes. We've beenlooking at that film. It's just night and day the way we play now compared to back then. Youjust tell certain guys are playing with a lot of confidence. We weren't running the bail well. Wehad no timing or rhythm to our offense last year. It's something that we just hope to continue.Pittsburgh's defense is very, very good. We haven't really seen much of them this year. I don'tknow what's going on offensively, but we look at their defensive. It's always strong. Theyalways play well here in Kansas City. We're expecting a very, very physical, tough game for us.

Have you been able to win over the fans? Fans are fans. That's something that I can't worryabout whatever is going to happen in that situation. Ijust have to let it happen. The mostimportant thing is that I go out every week and give it my best. Hopefully, we start winninggames and get into the playoffs. If the quarterback gets caught up with what "Joe Schmo" offthe street is saying, then he's not really concentrating on his job.

The Steelers are 5-S and you have Seattle next week. Are veople asking you if it's touth tooverlook the Steelers now? No. We're a lot smarter than that. We played Pittsburgh the lastcouple years and we know what they can do in Kansas City. Seattle is a ways away especiallywith the short week now. Pittsburgh, like I said before, always comes in here and plays us tough.We're getting geared for Pittsburgh. We're not even thinking about Seattle at all.

Do you have a message for Kordell Stewart who is going through his problems at ciuarterback? Iknow it's very, very difficult for him. I know what he wants to accomplish. I know he has thetalent. It's something that maybe every quarterback goes through. The one thing I would stressis just have confidence in your own ability, have confidence with you players and just let it allhang out. Just go out and play to the best that you can, and that's all you can ask for. It's a very,very difficult situation. Going through it last year, it's hard just say that, but to go out there anddo it too is another thing. I know Kordell pretty well, and I know what type of player he is andperson. I know good things are going to happen for him.

GUNTHER CUNNINGHAM - KANSAS CITY CHIEFS - CONFERENCE CALLDECEMBER 15,1999

Jim Haslett sends his regards. Tell him I send my best. I don't want to talk to him untilafter the game though. He's a good man.

Were you together in Oakland? Yes. We're very close friends. Jimmy was a great helpto me the last couple of years. I'll never forget it.

How was he of great help? He and I talked about a lot of things, about our futures, howto go about certain aspects of football. When you get down sometimes, you need a goodbuddy. I've always been able to lean on Jim and I hope he always has on me.

What has been the big turnaround with the Chiefs this year? We had our dismal year atthe end of '98. It all started in that Monday night game against Denver. What we'vedone is restructure the program completely from top to bottom. We're just heading into adifferent direction and the players have accepted this structure mostly today the positiveand the negatives as well as the organization. I must have had a thousand pages of noteswhen I took over. We've really done a good job of staying the course. The discipline iscoming around. I think the players enjoy the type of program we set up.

What are some of the high points of the changes you've made? The first thing we did ischanged our practice uniforms. I never liked the look. I always felt like we lookedsloppy, and I thought that would help us in the discipline. We cleaned up the lock roomand put a sign up about "Respect the game. Respect the NFL". We put up new picture ofplayers as well and fled it in with the new and the old. We eat lunch at a different place.Practice is totally structured different. I think probably as different as anybody does inthe league, but it's very up-tempo. They get through quickly but they get tremendousamount of work in at the same time. They all like it.

There has to be more that you're changing? I always ask the question who you're goingto change the penalty problem, the lack of discipline. There are 365 days a year and I'mgoing to build them a home that they will respect. We travel with coats and ties. We justdo a lot of things that I think the younger players this day and age kind of loss sight of. Iwant to get back to being more traditional and more proudful of this organization, whichhas a lot to be proud of. When I caine here, I thought I went to heaven. I'm going tomake it heaven for them and they're going, in turn, pay me back by playing hard.

How is Barn (Morris) doing? I think he's doing well. He struggled the first two-thirdsof the year. He struggled with his weight, his energy. He's been doing really well thelast two week. I thought he would have had a great game last week. He got banged up alittle bit so we took him out. He was at practice yesterday and did a great job.

Will he be the starter on Saturday? He most likely will. We can pull anything out of ourhat without starting him. It seems like the only people that are really concerned about it

are the media. They always want to know. I say, "Don't worry about it. We have six ofthem. We'll start one of them". Barn looks like he has the inside track.

You mentioned his weight, What was it up to and what is it now? I think the highest Ican remember is 264, and he's 256 right now. That's basically where he was a year agoin the 255 range.

Has he mentioned to you that he's pretty anxious to play against his former teammates?No, he really hasn't, but he sure has practiced well. I guess he is anxious.
