Defending The Kingdom 9/12: Raider Week

1
00:00:02,960 –> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: This is the Chief’s official podcast network taking dannage on

2
00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: the day. When you get out the game, they can

3
00:00:09,720 –> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: play touchdown Kansas City the Chiefs. All right in the

4
00:00:17,480 –> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: thick of a baby. Well, there are episodes of Defending

5
00:00:34,760 –> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 1: the Kingdom and then there’s the Radar Week edition of

6
00:00:38,560 –> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom Mitch Alters with your Voice of the

7
00:00:40,760 –> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Chiefs along with the tenure National Football League veteran barber

8
00:00:44,520 –> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: shop Shop Sean Barber. All right, here we go raid

9
00:00:48,760 –> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Or Week, And really what this means when you look

10
00:00:52,120 –> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: at it in a sixty year context of the age

11
00:00:55,520 –> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: of the franchises, now Oakland and now we play in

12
00:00:58,680 –> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: the coliseum all that time. But I mean, both of

13
00:01:01,480 –> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: our memories can flow even if you go back to

14
00:01:04,440 –> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: the old AFL days, that late NBC game Charlie Jones

15
00:01:08,680 –> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: and ld regard Us and Lenny Dawson against the notice

16
00:01:11,400 –> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Taylor against Ben Davidson. But even in recent years what

17
00:01:14,600 –> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: it has been and meant, I don’t care if it’s

18
00:01:17,920 –> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: Richmond against James Madison, Smith’s center against Phillipsburg. To have

19
00:01:22,880 –> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: a rivalry, to play this game with a rivalry, what

20
00:01:26,560 –> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: say you, man as as a former player that has

21
00:01:29,080 –> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: been in the lock room and to understand how quickly

22
00:01:31,840 –> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: the focus goes from the former week’s opponent to Radar week.

23
00:01:37,520 –> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: It was It’s like the air was different. It’s like

24
00:01:40,920 –> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: the food tasted better at lunchtime. The practice has got

25
00:01:44,920 –> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: a little bit longer because the coaches wanted to make

26
00:01:47,160 –> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: sure they fine tuned all the details, the anticipation in

27
00:01:51,440 –> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: the intensity about practice. The third drills got a little

28
00:01:55,040 –> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: bit tougher. We stripped the ball a little bit with

29
00:01:57,680 –> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more tenacity to get our guys ready.

30
00:02:00,200 –> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: Everybody just focused in and honed up their skills a little.

31
00:02:04,920 –> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: You wanted your weapons to be a little sharper going

32
00:02:07,440 –> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: into Radar week. Every time I had a chance to

33
00:02:09,960 –> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: line up against the Rads when I was here with

34
00:02:11,639 –> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. To have a rivalry, though, to play this

35
00:02:15,280 –> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: game with rivalry, any rivalry, to me, is a blessing.

36
00:02:19,120 –> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: We take it for granted. And there’s some franchises in

37
00:02:22,440 –> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: the league that really don’t have that rival whether they’ve

38
00:02:24,720 –> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: been moved around or late comming, or they switched divisions,

39
00:02:27,800 –> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: like even Seattle Seattles in the AFC at one time

40
00:02:30,919 –> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: in our division. Then they ship them out to go

41
00:02:33,280 –> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 1: to the NFC West when Houston came into being in

42
00:02:36,639 –> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. But to me, there’s just something

43
00:02:40,360 –> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: to have it specialist. Our first quarter here is on

44
00:02:43,720 –> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: its Raiders Week. But to have something like this, to

45
00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: me makes the experience of being around our Chiefs team

46
00:02:51,880 –> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: all the more. And in the history of the teams, right,

47
00:02:54,560 –> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: the number of players that have been a part of

48
00:02:57,919 –> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: the history of the Kansaity Chiefs also have been part

49
00:03:00,919 –> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: of the Raiders when you look at some of that

50
00:03:03,160 –> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: that that that historic Hall of Fame level players have

51
00:03:06,639 –> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: been in each organization, and the battles for talent between

52
00:03:11,680 –> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: the Lamar Hunts and then the Al Davis is about

53
00:03:14,800 –> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: what as a coaching staff, what’s a scout, a player,

54
00:03:19,880 –> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the son of a scout, whatever it is. Um it

55
00:03:22,880 –> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: seemed like two Wild West gun slingers, guns ablazing point

56
00:03:29,840 –> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: at one another and thinking who’s gonna flinch first to

57
00:03:33,400 –> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: make the call the Raiders versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Man,

58
00:03:37,760 –> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: you didn’t say it, it’s Raider week, And to me

59
00:03:41,360 –> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: the almost feels like two like the Gruden bull and

60
00:03:44,200 –> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: here’s why he’s got a young team. I’m kind of

61
00:03:47,280 –> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: impressed with him. What they showed Monday night against the Broncos.

62
00:03:50,520 –> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: They had three first round draft picks. I mean, they’ve

63
00:03:52,600 –> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: been trading dudes for picks. Um so I was impressed

64
00:03:56,240 –> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: with this young team. But somehow, to me, Gruden has

65
00:03:58,680 –> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: got to convince his guy one the Chiefs aren’t that

66
00:04:02,160 –> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: far ahead of us. That’s what they’re saying inside there.

67
00:04:04,440 –> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: For I am predicting. The second thing here barbershop to

68
00:04:08,040 –> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: look at is the fact that after this game. Okay,

69
00:04:12,080 –> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: so last year in the Coliseum, but after this game,

70
00:04:15,520 –> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: Gruden and the Raiders do not go back to the

71
00:04:17,440 –> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: Coliseum to play until November the third. They go on

72
00:04:20,760 –> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: the road. Four out of five weeks, they have a

73
00:04:22,400 –> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: bye week. Their home game, so to speak, is in London.

74
00:04:25,120 –> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: After this game, these dudes are shipping out. You talk

75
00:04:28,560 –> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: about veterans, you talk about defending your home field advantage.

76
00:04:33,640 –> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: It’s kind of like they got to split the season

77
00:04:35,360 –> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: up into two seasons. They have these first two games

78
00:04:38,400 –> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: to get out to a fast start, to make an impact,

79
00:04:41,080 –> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: to make it known, Hey, AB might not be around,

80
00:04:45,040 –> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: but we’re still a team to be record with. We

81
00:04:47,440 –> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: talk about AB. You know, it’s one of those things

82
00:04:49,360 –> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: where you talk about addition from from subtraction. How can

83
00:04:53,279 –> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 1: you add to your team’s focus subtracting a distraction? And

84
00:04:57,000 –> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: I think that’s the final straw that lad to ab

85
00:05:01,520 –> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: having his walking papers there with he was just such

86
00:05:04,120 –> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: a distraction practice field out in social media, on Twitter

87
00:05:08,600 –> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: and phase of everything that the organization we would be

88
00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: a better team. He is by far and everybody one

89
00:05:16,520 –> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: of the top three you can I think everybody would

90
00:05:18,640 –> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: say he’s a top three wide receiver talent in this league,

91
00:05:23,320 –> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: but also maybe one of the top three distractions in

92
00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: this league. And when it comes to playing this game,

93
00:05:29,200 –> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: you need everybody tuned in, ready to go, all systems,

94
00:05:33,800 –> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: go guns ablaze when it comes time to play on Sunday.

95
00:05:37,880 –> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: And I think he just he was causing so much

96
00:05:40,360 –> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: chaos in that organization that coach Gruden said, hey, we

97
00:05:44,000 –> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: just got to move on and move on. They did

98
00:05:47,279 –> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: on against the Denver Broncos. We saw a different raider mentality.

99
00:05:53,600 –> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: We saw an aggressive explosion offense, a quarterback with a

100
00:05:57,480 –> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: fast trigger. We saw a nasty, tenacious defense. Birth fett

101
00:06:01,839 –> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: Is letting it be known he’s still in the middle,

102
00:06:04,360 –> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: hard hitting safety. Too bad he’s lost for the season,

103
00:06:06,600 –> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: but they got some character. They got some skilled players

104
00:06:10,680 –> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: and some guys on that defensive Saturday. The ball is

105
00:06:13,680 –> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: ready for their season to be. Now, you know, there’s

106
00:06:16,680 –> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: white vests you wear when you work out kind of

107
00:06:18,960 –> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: sometimes you can put on those. It’s like they took

108
00:06:21,200 –> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: that off. That’s what it reminds me of when I

109
00:06:23,320 –> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: saw them play. All right, enough about them, we’ll get

110
00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: to them a little bit later in the third quarter.

111
00:06:27,120 –> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: We end the first quarter which was focusing on Raider

112
00:06:29,880 –> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: week and what it means. Second quarter dealing with the Chiefs,

113
00:06:33,560 –> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: and that is week one to week two. You always

114
00:06:37,120 –> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: hear football at every level talk about week one to

115
00:06:39,720 –> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: week two? Who improves, who makes a great performance a habit?

116
00:06:43,880 –> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: Who makes a good performance great? Who makes an average

117
00:06:46,240 –> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: performance good? When you look at a Sammy Watkins, I

118
00:06:49,000 –> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: mean that was a great performance, the best in the

119
00:06:50,839 –> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: league by any wide receiver. Now, what do you do

120
00:06:53,360 –> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: the next week? I’m Aicole Hardman with the injury to

121
00:06:56,480 –> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, no catches one target? What do you do

122
00:07:00,480 –> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 1: the second wink? And we can do this with everybody

123
00:07:02,240 –> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: around the team. What is there to this week one

124
00:07:04,960 –> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: week two thing? And how do you make it a habit?

125
00:07:07,839 –> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I think man Frank Clark said it it’s the leadership.

126
00:07:10,720 –> 00:07:12,559
Speaker 1: It’s it’s it’s going out here on the practice field

127
00:07:12,560 –> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: and knowing there’s a job to be done and there’s

128
00:07:16,160 –> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: a way to do it. You do it every day

129
00:07:17,680 –> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: at practice with you demand it from yourself first and foremost,

130
00:07:22,640 –> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: but then you gotta demand it from your teammate. You

131
00:07:24,560 –> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: gotta demanded. Everybody comes to this practice field with a

132
00:07:26,760 –> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: goal of getting better and better, perfecting their craft so

133
00:07:30,720 –> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: that that defense can come together. I think they were

134
00:07:33,400 –> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: happy with the win, but I think a lot of

135
00:07:35,440 –> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: guys was disappointed with the amount of points they gave

136
00:07:38,120 –> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: up to a team that I think they felt that

137
00:07:40,120 –> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: they were dominant. They were much better than jackon Field’s offense,

138
00:07:43,520 –> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: and they don’t feel like the scoreboards showcased it. And

139
00:07:46,240 –> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: I like, I like to see that that that edge,

140
00:07:48,560 –> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: that little chip on his shoulder. Still even after a win,

141
00:07:51,720 –> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: a great showcase and getting in week one splash interception

142
00:07:56,360 –> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: to kind of seal things off, but he came out

143
00:07:58,960 –> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: that locker room which was still aged. No, I’m not satisfied.

144
00:08:02,440 –> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: I’m still hungry to go out there and show these

145
00:08:05,400 –> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: guys what this defense will really look like once we arrive.

146
00:08:09,320 –> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Biggest positive to me in the Jacksonville game and cachanic

147
00:08:12,160 –> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: carry over to Oakland was this defense showed the propensity

148
00:08:15,880 –> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: to swarm. I even had people from who aren’t inside

149
00:08:19,280 –> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs fort across the country that watched the game

150
00:08:21,880 –> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: because there’s interests now in the Chiefs nationally that said, oh,

151
00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: your defense look different because they were swarming to the ball.

152
00:08:28,440 –> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about that. But then also

153
00:08:30,520 –> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: this front. I’m gonna go front to back with this defense.

154
00:08:33,480 –> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: Eight guys played up front. Eight different dudes were rotated

155
00:08:36,679 –> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: in and when I watched the tape, all eight guys

156
00:08:39,000 –> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: contributed those eight front eight And how much do they

157
00:08:42,160 –> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: contribute to and is there a swarming mentality of this defense?

158
00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: The front eight I think got so excited knowing that

159
00:08:47,880 –> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: everybody’s gonna get a chance to play a part in

160
00:08:50,800 –> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: this when you only got four starters, and then you

161
00:08:54,080 –> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: the other guys know that they get to trickle in

162
00:08:57,000 –> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: every other series and maybe a few snaps here, Um,

163
00:09:01,080 –> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: we’ll get you in at the end of the first quarter,

164
00:09:02,760 –> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: and then maybe something so you know, you know, the

165
00:09:05,080 –> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: first guy’s gonna get the mountain load of the reps.

166
00:09:08,160 –> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: And then you’re just gonna kind of gas him, or

167
00:09:10,160 –> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: you’re gonna come in and give him, you know, spell

168
00:09:11,960 –> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: him for a little period of time when he’s tired.

169
00:09:14,720 –> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: It’s hard to be excited about that as a number two.

170
00:09:18,120 –> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: But I think we got we got a starting four.

171
00:09:20,640 –> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: So we got a one and then we got one a’s.

172
00:09:22,880 –> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: We don’t have no no, no second string. We got

173
00:09:25,240 –> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: eight ones and we can mix and match him um

174
00:09:28,720 –> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: based off of different sets and personalities and different things

175
00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: you want to get done on the field. And every

176
00:09:34,480 –> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: one of the eight has their uh, their strong point,

177
00:09:37,360 –> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: whether it’s the size and length of a t K passoneau,

178
00:09:40,840 –> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: whether it’s the tenacity of a Frank Clark, whether it’s

179
00:09:42,840 –> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: the bulldozed mentality of a Derek Noddy um, the unique

180
00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: unblockability of a Chris Jones UM. And then we got

181
00:09:51,040 –> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: some new pieces uh with Oka for and Agba uh

182
00:09:55,559 –> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: and what they could bring to the pass rush capability.

183
00:09:58,640 –> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: So this just as a starting front four, you might

184
00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: have to call them a starting front eight. Yeah, and

185
00:10:04,920 –> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: I love it. And teams don’t have that many guys usually,

186
00:10:07,760 –> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: and if they do, they can’t rotate them. It takes

187
00:10:09,640 –> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: some skill to rotate them. Then the back seven on defense,

188
00:10:12,960 –> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: and this is where people want to see what’s going

189
00:10:14,480 –> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: to happen. In the second week, there was tackling, there

190
00:10:16,640 –> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: was good tackling in space. There were the big plays

191
00:10:18,960 –> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: given up. Minshew was I’ll tell you, Jacksonville may have

192
00:10:21,840 –> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: found something with that kid with Minshew. They may have

193
00:10:24,200 –> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 1: just stumbled into it. But then the big plays given up, Like,

194
00:10:27,080 –> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: got to reduce those this week. And we’re gonna get

195
00:10:29,600 –> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: to Oakland here in the third quarter. But in the

196
00:10:31,920 –> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: second quarter with the Chiefs defense, whomever they’re against the

197
00:10:35,640 –> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: back seven this week, Yeah, they got to keep progressing.

198
00:10:38,960 –> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: Like we said, um, overall, our defense was number one

199
00:10:42,880 –> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: in the league as far as preseason, as far as

200
00:10:44,840 –> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: the tackling rating. You know, PF they track everything. They

201
00:10:48,760 –> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: track they think distance travel, they they they how much

202
00:10:52,920 –> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: waterlog They track everything on the field, but they also

203
00:10:55,720 –> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: track a tackling rating. And the Chiefs defense was number

204
00:10:59,240 –> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: one in the preseason. And that just came from a mentality.

205
00:11:01,960 –> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: I think we heard Wilson, one of our linebackers, talk

206
00:11:06,040 –> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: about not only his fumble caused the he calls a

207
00:11:10,000 –> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: learning from that to fumble, but just the mentality of

208
00:11:12,440 –> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: a defense now with coach bags, and it was more

209
00:11:14,679 –> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: so of a we we rallied to the ball. We

210
00:11:17,800 –> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: seahawk tackle. But it’s about taking as many steps as

211
00:11:21,800 –> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: possible to close that distance that in itself will eliminate

212
00:11:27,000 –> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: or minimize mis tackles by an infinite amount. Once a

213
00:11:31,559 –> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: guy leaves his feet, he has no control. It becomes

214
00:11:34,080 –> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: the offensive guy advantage. But if you can stay on

215
00:11:38,640 –> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: your feet, stay square, keep your shoulder pads down and

216
00:11:42,080 –> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: be ready to strike and pounce and then rip at

217
00:11:44,679 –> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: the ball. That’s why we you know that swarm and mentality.

218
00:11:47,800 –> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: You never saw any green grass when the Jacksonville Jaguars

219
00:11:51,320 –> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: got caught the ball. It was no green grass. It

220
00:11:53,120 –> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: was no way to make gas miss. It was always

221
00:11:56,120 –> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: second and third hat on the ball, coming within two

222
00:11:58,800 –> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: or three yards. And with the mentality of flying to

223
00:12:02,360 –> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: the ball. Before the game, people thought that the Chiefs

224
00:12:05,559 –> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: defense Schools was gonna be the one that sucking win.

225
00:12:08,080 –> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: And I had to worry about did we have enoughing

226
00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: to tank to take the environment of being one hundred

227
00:12:15,679 –> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: and twenty degrees on the turf field. But as the

228
00:12:18,360 –> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: game went along, and with those two the first four

229
00:12:23,720 –> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: drives of the game after that point. You just saw

230
00:12:26,559 –> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville defense just take a turn for the worst

231
00:12:29,240 –> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: and our defense take a turn for the better. That,

232
00:12:31,640 –> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: to me, though, is the genius of Andy Reid. He

233
00:12:33,880 –> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: is a genius more than just XS and o’s. He’s

234
00:12:36,960 –> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: I’d have him train our Olympic team because he knows

235
00:12:39,679 –> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: how to train a team to get them ready. You’re

236
00:12:42,240 –> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: five and zero on the road in the opening week

237
00:12:45,120 –> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: of a seat his seven years here, I mean barber shop.

238
00:12:49,040 –> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: That’s crazy. That’s the way against the trends of the league.

239
00:12:51,920 –> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: All Right, we’re at halftime here, eight or a week

240
00:12:54,840 –> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: into defending the Kingdom and choulders with you along with

241
00:12:57,480 –> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: Sean Barber. We got a lot more to come. You’re

242
00:12:59,120 –> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: gonna want to be here in the second half, So

243
00:13:01,679 –> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: grab your O engine. It goes. This is quick halftime

244
00:13:04,440 –> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: in real games, it’s twelve minutes for us. It’s one second.

245
00:13:07,360 –> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: Boom there it is. That’s your one second a half time.

246
00:13:09,800 –> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Now we get to the third quarter. I’m going to

247
00:13:11,760 –> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: dive a little more into this two nineteen edition of

248
00:13:16,120 –> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders and how it pertains to the Kansas City Chiefs,

249
00:13:19,240 –> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: and let’s stay on the Chiefs defense versus the Raiders offense.

250
00:13:22,559 –> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: Last year, Derek Carr was sacked fifty one times. Fifty

251
00:13:27,520 –> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: one times, that’s like four a game. He got the

252
00:13:30,040 –> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: crub beat out of him against Denver. Now sacks against him.

253
00:13:34,960 –> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: Why the ball was coming out fast. Now, when you’re

254
00:13:38,800 –> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense and the ball comes out fast, and

255
00:13:40,960 –> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: you got to respect this rookie running back Josh Jacobs

256
00:13:43,840 –> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: and the tight end waller. But when the ball comes

257
00:13:46,240 –> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: out faster with dude, get some sacks. Get some sacks

258
00:13:48,440 –> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: when the ball’s coming out you know in two steps.

259
00:13:51,280 –> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: Let’s talk about that matchup and how Oakland to me,

260
00:13:53,640 –> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: has changed their approach to protect Derek Carr. Well. I

261
00:13:56,760 –> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: think he looked at the game last week and eight

262
00:13:58,480 –> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: and he real asted he was going against two premier

263
00:14:00,600 –> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: pass rushers and Vaughan Miller um um And and Bradley Chubb,

264
00:14:07,320 –> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: and realized their guys had no had no chance. And

265
00:14:10,880 –> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: even when you watch the film, they mada stayed in

266
00:14:13,600 –> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: front of him for a half second, but it was

267
00:14:15,640 –> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: basically a dead outsprint from their stands to the quarterback.

268
00:14:18,840 –> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: But Derek Carry, he took care of business. He got

269
00:14:20,920 –> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands. Once the ball was

270
00:14:23,080 –> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: snapped and got to him. He got the ball out

271
00:14:24,520 –> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: of his hands and two receivers and in a record

272
00:14:27,040 –> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: amount of time um to avoid any quarterback sacks and

273
00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: not really even that many pressures. So when you look

274
00:14:33,720 –> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: at a defensive if a guy’s gonna get rid of

275
00:14:35,760 –> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: the ball that fast, um, it’s a way to play

276
00:14:40,360 –> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: protection with your secondary covering the receivers. Uh, you gotta

277
00:14:45,120 –> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: get a little bit closer. You can’t, you can’t. You

278
00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: can’t play six seven yards off if they’re running three

279
00:14:49,920 –> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: yard routes. You gotta even they’re gonna throw three four

280
00:14:52,680 –> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: yard slants and and out routes. You gotta, you gotta,

281
00:14:55,680 –> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: you gotta scoot up a little bit, um. And then

282
00:14:57,720 –> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: also the d line gotta be smart. One of the

283
00:15:00,080 –> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: best guys on our defensive front of doing this is

284
00:15:02,760 –> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: Chris Jones. He plays with an amazing amount of vision.

285
00:15:06,360 –> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: Even though he’s passed rushing against offensive linemen tackle, guard, center,

286
00:15:10,840 –> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: his eyes are always on the quarterback and when he

287
00:15:13,440 –> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: sees that ball being loaded, he stops pass rushing. He

288
00:15:16,320 –> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: gets himself set into a passing lane and then he

289
00:15:19,400 –> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: gets those big paws up to create batted balls and

290
00:15:23,680 –> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: knockdown ball. So I would I would. I would guess

291
00:15:25,920 –> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: we’re gonna see a lot of a delayed blitz. Is

292
00:15:29,080 –> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: a delayed rushes guys kind of preparing for that ball

293
00:15:33,320 –> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: to come out so fast and getting your body and

294
00:15:35,560 –> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: set in a passing lane and getting your hands up.

295
00:15:38,800 –> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: And with that, you also have to have a couple

296
00:15:40,840 –> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: guys that are not doing that and are kind of

297
00:15:43,920 –> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: coming off that edge in case he decides to hold

298
00:15:45,880 –> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: it or he he reloads it so that we can

299
00:15:48,360 –> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: get some immediate pressure on him. So I think it’s

300
00:15:50,960 –> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: a it’s just a different mentality of pass rushing, being

301
00:15:54,960 –> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: aware of the three step in the quick game, and

302
00:15:57,880 –> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: then when you blitz realize they do have You know,

303
00:16:01,200 –> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: Tyrell Williams is capable of getting behind the defense and

304
00:16:03,440 –> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: making a play. This new tight end has kind of

305
00:16:05,600 –> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: come from nowhere. The rail waller has has shown that

306
00:16:09,080 –> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: he has a propensity to be able to get vertical

307
00:16:11,520 –> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: and he has some great athleticism. And those guys they’ve

308
00:16:15,840 –> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: made it. They’ve made some plays down the field to

309
00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: keep you from getting all eleven guys up in the box.

310
00:16:21,080 –> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: But it’s just the way of going at it. I

311
00:16:23,320 –> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: think we have to really look at that film and

312
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: that’s the format, and that’s the philosophy of the Raiders

313
00:16:27,880 –> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: new offense. We got to do some things a little

314
00:16:30,120 –> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: different differently defense to counter it. And another thing that

315
00:16:34,160 –> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: always tell people at camp to watch oldal because it’s footwork,

316
00:16:37,080 –> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: it’s punch. It’s CounterPunch to me in this game too,

317
00:16:40,200 –> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: because the ball’s coming out so fast from the Oakland Raiders.

318
00:16:43,640 –> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: Is that who wins that two to four yard battle.

319
00:16:46,320 –> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: If I’m going to press you and play you tighter,

320
00:16:48,520 –> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: then I’ve got to get a punch on you. It’s

321
00:16:50,600 –> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: my footwork’s got to be clean because if I missed

322
00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: the punch or I get a misstep or whatever. And

323
00:16:55,160 –> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: you talk about Tyrrelle Williams, even if it’s a short throw,

324
00:16:58,680 –> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: now he’s passed me and he’s in space against maybe

325
00:17:01,600 –> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: I’ve got a guy back. Maybe I don’t. If you’re

326
00:17:03,480 –> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: cover zero and all of a sudden, now now you’ve

327
00:17:05,600 –> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: got a big problem. So how it’s hand placement, it’s

328
00:17:08,440 –> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: hip move, feet um, it’s collegiate wrestling to me um

329
00:17:12,560 –> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: on the outside. When it’s when you’re playing at tight

330
00:17:15,240 –> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: coverage in that two to four yard range. Yeah, and

331
00:17:17,480 –> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: that’s what the corners I mean you know, I saydary

332
00:17:19,720 –> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: coach Sam Madison has done a great jo. I mean

333
00:17:21,720 –> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: that’s that’s kind of like his been his game his

334
00:17:23,480 –> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: whole career. Um, a shadow corner guy long arm Um,

335
00:17:28,400 –> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: not not not always a guy who’s had top end speed,

336
00:17:32,359 –> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: but he’s such a veteran about knowing how to be

337
00:17:35,560 –> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: patient with your progression. Uh, not having to explode out

338
00:17:39,000 –> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: of your back pedal, but using your hands to reroute

339
00:17:42,040 –> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: in the Jude routes and realizing the delivery of the

340
00:17:45,680 –> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: ball where it needs to come. Able to get his

341
00:17:47,760 –> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: hands and his eyes back on the quarterback in certain zones. Um.

342
00:17:51,600 –> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: So I’m sure having his leadership in that dB room

343
00:17:55,000 –> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: is gonna pay amazing dividends off on the field. Uh,

344
00:17:58,359 –> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 1: come Sunday. Yeah, I signed a line attack just because

345
00:18:01,480 –> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: they move guys around. Waller moves around like they move

346
00:18:04,720 –> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: Kelsey or if we move Kelsey around, So that means, oh,

347
00:18:07,560 –> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: he’s out here. And now what does that mean? Because

348
00:18:09,440 –> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: you gotta sit there. I’m a corner. Now I’m staring

349
00:18:11,320 –> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: at a tight end who is outside the numbers and

350
00:18:14,520 –> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: he does not motion back inside. So to me, it’s

351
00:18:17,880 –> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: you got your assignment. I gotta align but I gotta

352
00:18:20,320 –> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: play with an attack mode. I can’t be thinking too

353
00:18:22,960 –> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: much or I’m also in big trouble. Yeah, a six

354
00:18:25,840 –> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: six tight end lining up about it? You know that

355
00:18:27,960 –> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: the numbers, um, you know it makes you not want

356
00:18:32,080 –> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: to play zone as much, right because you don’t want

357
00:18:34,080 –> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: that that that matchup against your corners. But um, if

358
00:18:37,119 –> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: you start matching up with man, with that guy as

359
00:18:39,040 –> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: he gets uh interior linebackers out you know, in space

360
00:18:42,480 –> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: way too far out. So it’s you gotta do a

361
00:18:44,200 –> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: little bit of both. You can’t be predictable. You gotta

362
00:18:46,160 –> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: be able to play a little man, a little zone,

363
00:18:47,760 –> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: bring some pressure, do everything we’ve been doing. But it’s

364
00:18:51,160 –> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: like you’re saying being on your keys, no your alignment,

365
00:18:53,040 –> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: no your assignment. But then when the ball is snapped.

366
00:18:56,119 –> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: H you know everybody has, they said, Mike Tyson, everybody

367
00:18:58,040 –> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: has a game playing until that first punch. Same thing

368
00:19:00,880 –> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: in football that that offensive playbook looks really good until

369
00:19:04,280 –> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: our defense smacks him in the mouth. And then you

370
00:19:06,720 –> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: have some guys dropping some balls worrying about being hit. Um,

371
00:19:10,119 –> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: and that’s when that aggressive tech, you know, that that

372
00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: aggressiveness that Frank Clark talks about, so much. That intimidation

373
00:19:16,320 –> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: factor that sometimes you can’t account for that there is

374
00:19:19,359 –> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: no time clock or no no measurable that it accounts

375
00:19:23,160 –> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: for that, that intimidation factor. And I know that’s where

376
00:19:26,080 –> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: he wants to this defense to be Numero uno, number

377
00:19:29,400 –> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: one in the league when it comes to intimidating offenses.

378
00:19:31,920 –> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: Still in the third quarter of this edition of Defending

379
00:19:34,480 –> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, which is Raiders week edition of Defending the Kingdom,

380
00:19:38,520 –> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: mitcholters with you along with Sean Barber, and we appreciate you.

381
00:19:41,200 –> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: So many people have come back saying, hey, we’d love

382
00:19:43,440 –> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: to listen to you. You You drive us home. We want

383
00:19:45,440 –> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: to listen to the whole thing as we drive around

384
00:19:47,080 –> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: before we go into the garage or whatever. All right,

385
00:19:49,440 –> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: because before we go to the fourth quarter, I want

386
00:19:51,640 –> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: to talk about the Chiefs offense. Patrick Mahomes last week

387
00:19:55,640 –> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: had to play with the you know, the ankle. They

388
00:19:57,920 –> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: took a look at it. He just gutted it out there.

389
00:20:00,560 –> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Excited to see what Shady McCoy was able to do

390
00:20:03,080 –> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: along with Damian Williams great tag team there the ability

391
00:20:07,520 –> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: of this offense to absorb the Tyreek Hill injury, meaning

392
00:20:10,760 –> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: coach Read Engineers his offense and engineers his personnel working

393
00:20:15,080 –> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 1: with Brett Veach to be you know, you say next

394
00:20:17,440 –> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: man up, next man up, but that doesn’t always mean hey,

395
00:20:19,520 –> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: barbershops out, hold us is in or vice person. This

396
00:20:22,440 –> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: means a whole bunch of guys can step up for

397
00:20:24,680 –> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. What about mahomes gutting through the ankle issue

398
00:20:28,680 –> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: last week against Jacksonville and the fact that you saw

399
00:20:32,280 –> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy and Williams with a nice tag team and

400
00:20:35,119 –> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: then the whole Well, maybe it’s next men up for

401
00:20:37,680 –> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. I like that, saym better, I think I

402
00:20:40,000 –> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: think it’s gonna take more than one person and replace

403
00:20:42,800 –> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: with Tyreek Hill brings his offense, taking the top off

404
00:20:45,840 –> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: the end of a defense. The amount of respect as

405
00:20:49,600 –> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: from the safety. Safety was almost scared to shade too

406
00:20:52,800 –> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: much away from him because you know, he had to

407
00:20:54,400 –> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: be ready to help somebody want to go route at

408
00:20:56,720 –> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: any moment from Tyreek Hill. But mccohe, I mean, he

409
00:21:00,320 –> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: brings that same top end speed to the to the game,

410
00:21:02,560 –> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: so um he can kind of get into that same

411
00:21:04,760 –> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: role of causing a little bit of a shaking us

412
00:21:08,160 –> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: in uh in the secondary for the Raiders when it

413
00:21:10,200 –> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: comes to being just man and man. They don’t have

414
00:21:13,200 –> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: the fastest secondary. They don’t have guys that can really

415
00:21:16,359 –> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: just turn and run. That’s where they struggle. Uh. They

416
00:21:19,280 –> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: try to replace that with being physical. They want to

417
00:21:21,640 –> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: use physicality to keep you from going vertical, keep you

418
00:21:24,800 –> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage jam and reroute um, and

419
00:21:27,840 –> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: then throw your timing off. But we’ve had guys that

420
00:21:31,440 –> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: excel at their release. That’s one thing. UM. I think

421
00:21:34,680 –> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: the Cheetah was underappreciated, the undervalued for his release. UM

422
00:21:39,520 –> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: at times almost unguardable because you couldn’t get a hand

423
00:21:42,760 –> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: on him. Um. And then you refer to the running

424
00:21:45,080 –> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: back position. UM. And we had a good core going

425
00:21:47,960 –> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: into the season. We felt great about it. UM, so

426
00:21:51,080 –> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: good about it. We were able. We was able to

427
00:21:53,000 –> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: let Um Carlos High go to another team and be

428
00:21:55,800 –> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: very productive because we were so comfortable with having Darwin

429
00:21:59,080 –> 00:22:03,239
Speaker 1: Williams and Errol Williams UM still in the fold. And

430
00:22:03,280 –> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: then we see Shady Koy, Shady McCoy come into the

431
00:22:06,240 –> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: building and it’s almost like he never missed a step,

432
00:22:09,560 –> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: like like he’s been a part of this offense, dreaming

433
00:22:12,040 –> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: about it every day while he was at Buffalo, can’t

434
00:22:14,400 –> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: wait to get back to andy Land. Uh, so I

435
00:22:16,760 –> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: can get that one step cut um. You know, he’s

436
00:22:19,680 –> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: he’s always had that deadly h one two step and

437
00:22:23,000 –> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: plant and he used it early and often over eighty

438
00:22:27,560 –> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: yards on, you know, on average of eight yards to

439
00:22:30,640 –> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 1: carry um on a number of carries man, and and

440
00:22:34,160 –> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: and showing that he still has a lot left in

441
00:22:36,640 –> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 1: the tank. Um. It’s a lot to be very excited

442
00:22:39,480 –> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: about when you go to position to position with this offense. Yeah,

443
00:22:44,080 –> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: for Shady, it’s almost like in a custom car, like

444
00:22:46,920 –> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: you’re thinking, well, what you got left or wait a minute,

445
00:22:49,240 –> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: that’s like getting like going to the custom car show.

446
00:22:51,960 –> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: Like it’s a older model, but man, it’s better than

447
00:22:54,840 –> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: anything you could buy new. That’s what I’m getting from

448
00:22:57,080 –> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy. And the other thing is I said it’s

449
00:22:59,640 –> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: like getting brand new power tool. People give me a

450
00:23:02,200 –> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: hard time about saying put the hammer down. Hey, I

451
00:23:05,560 –> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: mean it when I say it, and that dude is

452
00:23:08,359 –> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: a hammer. I’m telling you it is good to have

453
00:23:10,760 –> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: Shady in andy Land. As you say. Now, let’s move

454
00:23:13,760 –> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter of this Raiders Week edition of

455
00:23:16,840 –> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom, and it has to deal with what

456
00:23:19,640 –> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: could be the last trip to the coliseum. As soon

457
00:23:22,400 –> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: as I say last trip to the coliseum, somebody who’d say, well,

458
00:23:25,560 –> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: wait a minute, the Oakland could win the division, you

459
00:23:27,960 –> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: could be a wild card enough to go back there. Okay,

460
00:23:30,680 –> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: I get it, but let’s just say there’s a high

461
00:23:34,119 –> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: probability that this is the last game to go into

462
00:23:36,920 –> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: the Coliseum. And to me, there’s a bunch of things

463
00:23:39,600 –> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: in play here historically, but it is a little bit

464
00:23:43,160 –> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: weird thinking this is going to be it for that place.

465
00:23:45,880 –> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, as a guy who played with Kansas City, man,

466
00:23:48,160 –> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: you definitely want to leave that that arena for the

467
00:23:50,920 –> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: last time on a great note. You want you want

468
00:23:53,040 –> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: to be able to walk out with your head hell high,

469
00:23:55,640 –> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: knowing you gave your best effort. But it also with

470
00:23:57,440 –> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: a victory. You want it, You want it to let

471
00:23:58,640 –> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: it be known that, hey man, this this team has

472
00:24:00,760 –> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: been dominated. We we dominated the Raiders even when I

473
00:24:03,280 –> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: was here in three point five. Um somehow, some way

474
00:24:06,440 –> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter they found a way to lose

475
00:24:08,080 –> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: the game. Um Or we just found a way to

476
00:24:10,080 –> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: embarrass the entire the entire sixty minutes. But either way,

477
00:24:13,359 –> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: we knew it was gonna walk out of that uh,

478
00:24:15,440 –> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: that fight with the l I mean, with the with

479
00:24:17,760 –> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: the win and giving them the lum at the end

480
00:24:20,600 –> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 1: of the day. So um, I think most of the players,

481
00:24:23,280 –> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, like we said, we had some new guys

482
00:24:25,160 –> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: to the Kingdom, um, but I think it’s it’s important

483
00:24:27,840 –> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: that they know and learn the history of this Raider

484
00:24:31,560 –> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: Chiefs rivalry so that they know the importance of ending this,

485
00:24:35,480 –> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: uh this last trip to the coliseum on a very

486
00:24:40,240 –> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: very um high note and a deafening win for Chiefs Kingdom.

487
00:24:45,960 –> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: A couple of things here, and I remember that you

488
00:24:48,119 –> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: know that feels sets below sea level, So I remember

489
00:24:51,480 –> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: the O two game where there’s a monsoon. That’s they

490
00:24:54,040 –> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: got us in that one. But also remember there was

491
00:24:55,840 –> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: sewage coming up from the bottom of the field and

492
00:24:57,760 –> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: our guys talking about Eric Kix, I mean, where guys

493
00:25:00,800 –> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: are getting like hepatitis shots or something after the game.

494
00:25:03,400 –> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: That was pretty crazy. And then last year, you know,

495
00:25:07,160 –> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: the bathroom backed up. That’s a whole other matter. What

496
00:25:11,720 –> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: is a practical matter in this game? To me though,

497
00:25:14,520 –> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: and the coach talked about it earlier in the week,

498
00:25:16,320 –> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: and I’ll ask him right before the game, where we

499
00:25:19,160 –> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: do our a pregame on the radio network, and that

500
00:25:21,840 –> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: is the playing surface. Yeah, okay, even if it’s sunshining

501
00:25:25,000 –> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: in this game, that there’s a slick surface to it

502
00:25:28,320 –> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: because it just sets below sea level. The other thing

503
00:25:30,920 –> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: is Tom Melbourne is a tight ends coach of the Chiefs. Well,

504
00:25:34,720 –> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: his cousin is the manager of the Oakland A’s. I

505
00:25:37,119 –> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: saw Tom earlier this week and I said, I’m mad

506
00:25:39,040 –> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: at your guy because I said the ah should be

507
00:25:41,480 –> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: out of it by now and let’s just see that

508
00:25:43,080 –> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: thing to grass and A’s play on the road the

509
00:25:44,760 –> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: rest of the time. He said, no, the A’s are

510
00:25:47,080 –> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: mad at us because we’re tearing up their infield. I mean, honestly,

511
00:25:50,240 –> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: when you look at it and think about it, this

512
00:25:51,720 –> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: is very unique. Mike Shackiny, you know, we know, Mike

513
00:25:55,000 –> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: VP for the Chiefs brought up something, this could be

514
00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 1: the last game in the NFL felt ever played on

515
00:26:01,680 –> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: a Major League baseball field. Yeah. And they also used to,

516
00:26:04,440 –> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean almost used to be. Giants played at Yankee Stadium,

517
00:26:06,880 –> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: the Bears played at Wrigley Field, nine Ers played it

518
00:26:10,240 –> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: to Keysar Stadium or whatever, a Candlestick Park, and HW

519
00:26:14,720 –> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, I mean to play in the

520
00:26:16,240 –> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: coliseum on this surface, it’s something more than just some

521
00:26:19,320 –> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: nostalgic look back. Yeah, you gotta get I mean it’s

522
00:26:21,640 –> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: something you got a pregame. You walk the field, you

523
00:26:24,359 –> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: know the the trigger points, you know the traps and

524
00:26:27,840 –> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: where it goes from grass to sand, saying the grass

525
00:26:30,160 –> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: and you lay out all right, if I’m in this

526
00:26:32,480 –> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: position of the field, i gotta be ready when I’m backpedaling,

527
00:26:34,960 –> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: transitioning from my back pedal to plant, to make sure

528
00:26:37,000 –> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 1: that you know half my studs and grass half them

529
00:26:39,240 –> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: the dirt. Uh. You always gotta keep you they say

530
00:26:42,359 –> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: you keep your feet under your shoulders. You gotta keep

531
00:26:44,920 –> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: your footwork within the framework of your shoulders or you’ll

532
00:26:48,280 –> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: end up slipping and falling. And we know in defense

533
00:26:50,359 –> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: Man one slipping fall. We’ve seen when we did the

534
00:26:52,840 –> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: jacks for last week, one slipping fall, mistackle leads to

535
00:26:55,480 –> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: a receiver. I’m having a career record game with how

536
00:27:00,480 –> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins handled the Jaguars. But but this stadium, it

537
00:27:04,400 –> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: is a classic. It’s it’s a it’s it’s going back

538
00:27:06,840 –> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: to the Roman era, the Colosseum, against all odds. Um

539
00:27:12,320 –> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, all of that is being is being brung

540
00:27:14,960 –> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: up and it will be seen as a clash of

541
00:27:17,880 –> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 1: the Titans um and in the Raiders versus the chiefs Um.

542
00:27:23,080 –> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 1: It’s for the Ages, it’s it’s it’s two great story

543
00:27:26,560 –> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: franchises to have so much history. Uh, so many passionate

544
00:27:31,040 –> 00:27:33,960
Speaker 1: fans and listen, we didn’t even that’s a whole another

545
00:27:34,040 –> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: show talking about some stories that got about some of

546
00:27:36,359 –> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: the things I heard from Raiders fans as we warmed up.

547
00:27:39,760 –> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: And when I talk about a Raiders fan cursing me out,

548
00:27:42,119 –> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: I’m not talking about a grown man or a grown woman.

549
00:27:44,680 –> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: I’m talking about a five year old, seven year old,

550
00:27:47,760 –> 00:27:50,120
Speaker 1: ten year old little girl. Looks like she’s the nicest,

551
00:27:50,960 –> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: most innocent thing. And when she opens her mouth and

552
00:27:53,800 –> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: calls me a yeah, you know what, I’m like, Man,

553
00:27:59,040 –> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: I really recalize as what the black Hole is all

554
00:28:01,960 –> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: about Raider Nation. It’s it’s part of their culture. They

555
00:28:07,000 –> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: they they they feed into it. They love the dark

556
00:28:10,920 –> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Vader helmet and the skull and cross bones, the spike

557
00:28:15,160 –> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: necklaces and Uh. As a player, I loved it. I

558
00:28:18,200 –> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: loved being in the atmosphere because I knew at the

559
00:28:20,960 –> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: end of the game when I won it um and

560
00:28:23,320 –> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: it was early fourth quarter and we’re up by ten

561
00:28:25,640 –> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: and their fans have to walk out because they know

562
00:28:28,119 –> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: that the game is over. Then I gonna get the

563
00:28:29,720 –> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: ball back. And I love seeing those same fans. And

564
00:28:32,720 –> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: where’s all that now? We’re all that talk at now? Man,

565
00:28:35,560 –> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: this takes me back. Man, I get the goose bumps going.

566
00:28:37,720 –> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: It’s Radar week. Where you talking about Roman Coliseum. I

567
00:28:40,600 –> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: think we have Russell Crowe. Uh if you go back

568
00:28:43,120 –> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: to the movie The Gladie It or Patrick Mahomes is

569
00:28:45,400 –> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: Russell Crowe. He’s Maximus Patrick, Maximus Mahomes going to the Colisee.

570
00:28:49,920 –> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: And the other thing I think about two is Brandon

571
00:28:52,320 –> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: Flowers with the pick six, putting his foot on the

572
00:28:54,880 –> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: ball and flexing both biceps. And the picture where we

573
00:28:57,840 –> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: counted twenty one fans and the stands flipping him off

574
00:29:01,120 –> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: as he was doing that. In the black hole twenty

575
00:29:03,680 –> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: ones it was bird hunting season, lots of birds in

576
00:29:05,840 –> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: the stands. We’re going to close this way. The fact

577
00:29:08,560 –> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: that Andy Reid’s division dominance, I’ve done some brought this

578
00:29:13,280 –> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: up on the Minute with Mitch and some other shows.

579
00:29:15,480 –> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: Twenty one in three is Andy Reid in the last

580
00:29:18,000 –> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: four years in this division, nobody, no team has had

581
00:29:21,400 –> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: a better interdivisional record. Those three losses have all been

582
00:29:24,640 –> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: on Thursday nights, including the Coliseum in twenty seventeen, where

583
00:29:28,680 –> 00:29:31,479
Speaker 1: they got seven chances to win it like the nineteen

584
00:29:31,520 –> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: seventy two Soviet versus US basketball game where Nope, not

585
00:29:35,160 –> 00:29:38,959
Speaker 1: good enough, Let’s do it again. The point is continued

586
00:29:39,000 –> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: division dominants. You saw it with Andy. He actually dominated

587
00:29:42,480 –> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: the NFC East when he was in Philadelphia. Right now

588
00:29:45,000 –> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: he’s doing the same with the AFC West. I don’t

589
00:29:47,400 –> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: want a bull on board material. They sit in bullop

590
00:29:49,320 –> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 1: Moore material. It’s just fact. But you got to stay

591
00:29:51,840 –> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: on it. We already known that Oakland is a worthy enemy.

592
00:29:54,560 –> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: But continued division dominance be great, dominate simple, Like Frank say, man,

593
00:30:00,280 –> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: we gotta we got a legacy to live up to.

594
00:30:02,600 –> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 1: Um um balls shot call us playmakers. What Frank said,

595
00:30:12,440 –> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: playmaker’s gonna make plays right, ball is expected, ball out.

596
00:30:17,080 –> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: He’s a leader, He’s a man amongst men, and I

597
00:30:19,440 –> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: just I can appreciate him on every every level of

598
00:30:22,560 –> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: his intensity, his his manner, his manner rhysms, his skill level.

599
00:30:26,920 –> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: Um he brings it all on game Day, and I

600
00:30:28,800 –> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: think he’s gonna lead this defense to um greater days.

601
00:30:32,160 –> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: And it starts on Sunday. Here’s Mine Hammer Droppers, It’s

602

Speaker 1: Raider’s Wig, i’mre Choulters, He’s Sean Barber. It’s defending the Kingdom.

603
00:30:47,120 –> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to the Chief’s official podcast network Touchdown

604
00:30:54,600 –> 00:30:57,480
