Lance talking some baseball. He's a Brewers fan saying there is a good crowd at Johnny's. Also cheering on the Royals.

Hishaw is in the crowd and grew up playing baseball and Leipold said he is playing well.

Wudke and Foster also on hand. Said Wudke has been steady on the defensive line and Foster being a two sport athlete has fit in well with the locker room.

Looking back over the film against TCU some key things like the punt return for a touchdown and the interception by Burroughs where they would have needed a touchdown. He did not like the way they tackled not good angles and pursuit.

Gave too many windows for the quarterback from TCU to throw. They left some throws out there and had some big drops. Said they have had a good week of practice.

Talked about Berryhill having to fly out at 5:00 a.m. Made it back to Kansas City by 9:00 played extremely hard and was confident replacing Wheeler.

Wheeler won the strong link award even though he didn't play. Leipold said this is how he contributed and helped the team. Said he has been a big part of the preparation and helping out although he hasn't been able to play.

With Neal and Hishaw thinks they are the best one to punch running back in the league. Hishaw is finally healthy in playing well.

He believes the passing game is close to getting better than it has been. When they look at the losses one thing the team has owned is there are improvements in several areas needed it's just not one thing. In the passing game they had some that were dropped, some that were underthron, but the passing game is getting closer

He said he looked at the statistics compared to last year and they are not far off the one that stands out is turnover margin

Looking at Arizona State they are plus seven in the turnover margin from where they were last year. That is going to be a big key on Saturday is who can take care of the ball.

Last Saturday was their worst tackling performance and they have worked hard this week to correct that.
