Oh, the Acrobat has been re-imagined for. powerful collaboration and to help you. create highquality work all at one. place. >> Brandon, uh, can you give us a hand here.
in showing the 92enters how to use the. incredible new features? >> I love it when Brandon shows us things, >> please. >> Less work for us, more work for Brandon. >> Thanks, guys. I never mind doing more. work for you. But that's right, guys. Adobe's got new features like PDF. spaces, which basically helps you pull. anything from the internet that you. might want and let's just call it a. podcast into one document and figure out. where it goes a lot faster. Usually when. we put together the show, we have to dig. through a lot of articles, game notes, box scores, uh, highlights, screenshots.
of tweets, whatever Jake was mad about. the Jets doing that week. It's a lot of. stuff that goes into making the show. And honestly, the segment that's. toughest to put together is stamp of the. week. There's actually a lot more. nominees that we never really even show. you guys. We look through everything. from game highlights, what's going. around the internet. I watched a bunch. of clips of people in Philadelphia going. crazy in the snow. That was my personal. stamp of the week. But we can drop. everything into one PDF space and this. tool can take it all into one document, put it there, organize it. We can ask. the AI assistant, hey AI assistant,
based on everything here, who is the. strongest stamp of the week nominee and. why? Do we end up just yelling out names. to each other? Yes. But before that, we. can actually have some kind of plan of. attack. >> Oo. >> Well, I thank you, intern Brandon. You're the best intern. podcast could ever ask. Um, faster prep. and better pick so we can get more done. together. >> That's right. Learn more at adobe.comdo. that acrobat. >> Want to do the next one? One more. >> Good morning, Jason. Good morning, Travis. This is Candace. And here's my.
not so dumb question. With all of the. excitement and media obligations and. other things surrounding. the weeks prior to the Super Bowl, >> do the players as professional athletes. mentally prepare and focus for the. biggest game of their lives? >> Hope I hear an answer. Thank you so. much. >> All right. Uh, you mentally prepare for. it the same way you do every week.
That's one of the things that like the. the NFL schedule and like the way you. operate each week, it becomes so routine. and so um kind of second nature that you. just are locked into it. And even though. there are a lot of distractions and. there are things that are easy to get. you out of your comfort zone, you really. fall back to like the same training that. got you there. And you're on your second. week of it at that point, the same week. of the Super Bowl. So, like you're. you're kind of just going through the.
same thing over and over and over again. You're going to everything you do that. Tuesday is the same thing you did the. Tuesday before. Everything you did the. Wednesday of that week, same thing you. did the Wednesday before. So, I think. that routine and schedule kind of always. does a great job for me at least of. making you lock in on the game and avoid. uh you know all the media and family. things and whatnot that end up just. being like a lot of outside things that. can distract you from the task at hand. >> Couldn't have said it better myself. I I.
think uh the the biggest thing is that. you get two weeks. you get a week in. Kansas or you get a week at home and. then you get a week at the Super Bowl. So mental preparation you you typically. get the entire playbook. It might switch. they might get a maybe four or five new. different plays when you get down to the. Super Bowl, but you pretty much know or. at least this is how we did it in Kansas. City is that you know your playbook. before you even go down to the kind of. the circus that is the Super Bowl with. the media and all that stuff. So.
mentally you have everything before you. even go to the super. Exactly. So you. kind of already have that aspect of it. and then when you get down there you. just can't lose focus on on you know the. game uh and can't let the uh the. excitement of it get too big or uh can't. let uh your mind wander at at all the. stuff that comes with the Super Bowl. Um. which uh can be pretty challenging for a. lot of people. >> No doubt. Can I ask one followup? >> Oh god. Brandon, >> the week that weird dead week, do you.
guys like check out in that week and. then start like get back into the Super. Bowl after that weekend or is it like as. soon as you know you're in it starts? >> No, that's what Travis was just saying. So, the week the week this week right. now, the Patriots and uh the Seahawks, >> they're not on vacation like right now. Literally right now they're practicing. >> They're doing the exact same thing they. would do if the game was going to be. played this Sunday. >> Okay, that's kind of what I'm asking. Yeah. No, I know. Well, we also kind of. just said this, so it's fine. We'll. answer it again, though.
>> So, >> okay. >> The exact same thing you do. >> for a normal work week. >> Well, Brandon. anything we're saying, Brandon, >> I have other stuff going on. >> What? You got birds outside? >> There's some there's some cool birds. outside. I'm like, well, these [ __ ]. browneyed warbler outside. the [ __ ] out of my face. >> All right, I'll I'll take my answer off. the air. Jesus. So, typically the way. the NFL schedule works is like there's. something to do on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday are a structured. schedule of like Tuesday, you're going. to come in, get an introductory to the. team you're playing. You're going to. re-watch last week's film. >> Also, like nice recovery day. Yeah. A. nice flush. >> Wednesday, you're getting your first. lift in for the week and you're also. watching um you're doing you're. installing first and second down plays, right? Typically, the run game. especially is a Wednesday. >> Call it the base game plan. the majority. of the plays you're going to be running. Yes. >> Thursday is a day where you're um.
repping most of the passing game, right? So, you're doing like third down, uh. second and long plays. >> It's a little more special situation. like third down, fourth down, short. yardage, goal line, backed up. It's all. those kind of special and it obviously. this differs with every team. Some teams. might do red zone on a different day. Some teams may do those special. situations on a different day, but. typically you take one day for base, pass game, third down, short yards, or. specific situations, and then red zone.
>> Yeah. And then Friday is when we would. do the the bulk of the red zone install. On Friday, you would hit your two-minute. plays that you're thinking about repping. in the game. A lot of those other. specialty plays that are the last ones. And that's more of like like fast. Friday. You're in and out. It's super. quick day. a lot of heavy walkth through. potential and then uh you're going to. repeat all of those days when you're in. >> when you're on site. >> wherever you're at in the Got it. >> That's why what Tra was saying like. you're kind of doing the same thing.
again, but you've already repped it. once. So, you don't need to be as like. locked into it. You're kind of just. re-engineering and kind of bringing that. back. >> Just going back through muscle memory, put in a new location. >> You're sharpening it. You're sharpening. it up. Yeah. >> All right. That's all I wanted to know. maybe getting a different look than you. did get in the week prior. >> They'll do that, too. Yeah, they'll give. you if you're. >> they'll they'll ask the scout team. Yeah, they'll ask the scout team. >> They might give you a nickel rep or. they'll give you, you know, a certain. type of blitz or something like that. that they might do at a high rate in.
that situation. Whatever it is, >> look at this. Look at this detailed. answer we just gave. Look at that. We. got a little extra on that. I feel like. I've learned something. >> Jake, get the [ __ ] out of here. >> What do you guys do the the week before. you go to the Super Bowl, though? >> Okay, [ __ ] off, Jake.
