00:01:18,319 –> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: But I talked to Andy Reid earlier this week about it.

21
00:01:20,520 –> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: It’s actually a showcase of a lot of things. And

22
00:01:22,840 –> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, it’s almost the showcase of their entire program.

23
00:01:26,160 –> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Meaning guys in equipment, guys in training, guys that are

24

Speaker 1: members are going to be there, it was amazing. I

31
00:01:54,600 –> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: started to get a little goosebumps. I’m just watching the

32
00:01:56,960 –> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: eighteen willas the Chucks unload in the parking lot as

33

Speaker 1: All eyes on me, family, friends, you have everybody tune in.

36
00:02:13,200 –> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: They’ve got that fix of all the visional games and

37
00:02:16,720 –> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: all the fantasy things. All that is time he put

38
00:02:19,600 –> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: away from the noon games, in the four o’clock games,

39
00:02:22,440 –> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: and then everybody’s eyes are on one game that night,

40
00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football Chiefs versus Colts. He’ll be amazing. So

41
00:02:29,800 –> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: our first quarter here of our Defending the Kingdom podcast

42
00:02:32,680 –> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: dealing with the Sunday night lights. It’s interesting. The whole

43
00:02:36,040 –> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: world now is watching the NFL world is watching Patrick

44
00:02:39,520 –> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes kind of glancing at him every week. Now, all

45
00:02:42,160 –> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, for the first time in twenty nineteen,

46
00:02:44,560 –> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: they’ll get two eyes on him. They want to absorb

47
00:02:46,760 –> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: this guy. And I thought last week was a giant

48
00:02:49,360 –> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: step for him to win a game like that. Quite honestly,

49
00:02:51,760 –> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: it was very similar to the Colts game in the

50
00:02:53,800 –> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: Divisional playoff last year. No touchdown passes, he had to

51
00:02:56,840 –> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: be patient. He had had a brushing touchdown in that game. Um.

52
00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: But for Patrick Mahomes, Showtime on a Sunday night, Showtime, Showtime, Mahomes, Uh,

53
00:03:06,760 –> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Pat Mahmie. He has so many nicknames around here in

54
00:03:09,760 –> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, but we know him bout QB fifteen. Um,

55
00:03:13,280 –> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: he’s the big ticket. He’s he’s all the prayers and

56
00:03:15,600 –> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: hopes of this Chief’s Kingdom season making the championship. Room

57
00:03:19,480 –> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: kind of relies on his arm, in his dedication, in

58
00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: his his leadership abilities at the quarterback position. Um, he’s

59
00:03:25,880 –> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: done an amazing job of accepting the role of a

60
00:03:29,280 –> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: uh the quarterback of the number one offense in the NFL.

61
00:03:32,400 –> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: And he’s done with He’s done with such humility. He’s

62
00:03:35,240 –> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: done it with such such a humble nature. Um. He

63
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: makes things look so easy. It’s hard to say Pat

64
00:03:41,920 –> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: Mahomes is the player of the week or the player

65
00:03:44,040 –> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: of the month, because when he’s out there, he makes

66
00:03:46,320 –> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: it look so easy. It’s it’s effless. It’s sometimes you

67
00:03:50,320 –> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: wondering is he really trying that hard? I mean he

68
00:03:52,360 –> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: he making it look so easy, the way he’s carving

69
00:03:54,360 –> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: up these other professional defenses and making other guys look bad.

70
00:03:58,680 –> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: But Sunday night, we’re gonna light up stadium. Hashtag light

71
00:04:03,200 –> 00:04:06,760

76
00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: and you’re at the stadium, I mean, it’s gonna be

00:04:23,960 –> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: want to make sure we really come prepared to really

79
00:04:26,480 –> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: light up the stadium. Yeah, that light show is gonna

80
00:04:28,480 –> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: be cool. I’ve seen the prototype. You see what Tennessee

81
00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Basketball has done with it. It will be a memorable night,

82
00:04:33,680 –> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: something you’ve never seen before at Arrowhead Stadium. But you

83
00:04:36,440 –> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: get to participate and make sure you got the app

84
00:04:38,520 –> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: and then follow the instructions. But talking about Mahomes, the

85
00:04:41,760 –> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: other thing that I’ve enjoyed about him recently has been

86
00:04:45,480 –> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: he’s not chasing stats. No, I mean shop. I almost

87
00:04:49,240 –> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: drove off the road we landed coming back from Detroit

88
00:04:51,600 –> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: after that game, and I’m listening to the national people

89
00:04:54,400 –> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: as I’m driving home and they’re saying, what a bad

90
00:04:56,160 –> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: game from my homes didn’t have a touchdown pass I

91
00:04:58,480 –> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: drove off the road. I’m gonna go fight these people, Like,

92
00:05:01,279 –> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? He just won a tough

93
00:05:03,080 –> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: game and just drove his team two minutes to get

94
00:05:06,800 –> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: the game winning touchdown. I said my first twenty four

95
00:05:09,240 –> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: years of my brief twenty six years as the voice

96
00:05:11,240 –> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, I got hit all the time. You

97
00:05:13,120 –> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: left too much time on the clock for it. Fill

98
00:05:14,839 –> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: it in the black el way. Oh, I don’t know

99
00:05:17,040 –> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. Oh, Tom Brady, you left too much time.

100
00:05:19,880 –> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: Now the Chiefs have the quarterback, the teams, you’re leaving

101
00:05:22,279 –> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: too much time social media. When we saw the Detroit

102
00:05:26,440 –> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: Lions score, we had a set of fans giving each

103
00:05:29,120 –> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: other half fives because they realized it was two minutes

104
00:05:32,200 –> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: twenty seconds left for their guy to have the ball

105
00:05:35,279 –> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: with a chance to either and tie it up or

106
00:05:37,520 –> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: take the league. The Kingdom did not shake it up.

107
00:05:40,080 –> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I don’t think anybody who was a Chiefs fan watching

108
00:05:42,800 –> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the game against the Lions thought for one second that

109
00:05:45,839 –> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: there was any chance that the Chiefs We’re gonna lose

110
00:05:48,080 –> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: that game. On that last draft, they had so much

111
00:05:50,480 –> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: faith in their quarterback. And like you said, national media

112
00:05:55,040 –> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: has set his own standards so high sometimes it’s hard

113
00:05:58,600 –> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: for him to even reach his own level of success,

114
00:06:01,320 –> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: but he says it. Since training camp, he’s focused on

115
00:06:04,400 –> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: one thing this season, wins whatever it takes to win

116
00:06:07,960 –> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: the ball game. If he wins more games than last year,

117
00:06:11,040 –> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: that would be him progressing and growing as a quarterback.

118
00:06:14,360 –> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: And he knows there’s some drives. He feels like he

119
00:06:17,040 –> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: left something on the field. He says, there’s there’s room

120
00:06:19,440 –> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: for growth in his game, even on an MBP season. Yeah,

121
00:06:22,600 –> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: but he showed some big years, big stones in that game.

122
00:06:26,279 –> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: And I loved it because it was a non stat

123
00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: win and people just look at it from fantasy football

124
00:06:31,560 –> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: perspective too. They had Mahomes, I need touchdown passes. I

125
00:06:33,960 –> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: didn’t get any. What happened to him? No, he just

126
00:06:36,320 –> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: led his team down the field. And I’m with you,

127
00:06:37,880 –> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: it’s a big change in the kingdom now. Instead of

128
00:06:40,080 –> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: feeling a whiley Kyle, like the Amil’s gonna fall on you.

129
00:06:42,839 –> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, with that much time, the dude’s gonna go

130
00:06:45,320 –> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: down and win it, all right. The Chiefs will not

131
00:06:47,360 –> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: be the only team on this Sunday Night showcase stage

132
00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: who will be ready. The Indianapolis Colts, to me, will

133
00:06:53,720 –> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: be ready. A peculiar year so far, there are two

134
00:06:57,040 –> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: and two. Are they really close to one? Four? They

135
00:06:59,760 –> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: really close to being three on one? And that Raider

136
00:07:01,680 –> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: game to me, was an outlier last week that just

137
00:07:03,960 –> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: that’s stunned me. But this is a tough football team

138
00:07:06,680 –> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: that has circled this day ever since the NFL schedule

139
00:07:10,080 –> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: came out because they remember what happened here in January

140
00:07:12,720 –> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: when the Chiefs beat them in a visual playoff thirty

141
00:07:14,880 –> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: one to thirty. Yeah. That that that that that coaches

142
00:07:16,840 –> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: a he’s not he’s not a disciple of Andy Ree,

143
00:07:18,960 –> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: but he might be called a distant distant cousin because

144
00:07:21,400 –> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: he has so many uh you know he came. Yeah,

145
00:07:24,960 –> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: he was there for Y ballad is um. But the

146
00:07:27,840 –> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: head coach man, he runs a lot of things. The

147
00:07:30,160 –> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: offensives is very similar. After being spending some time with

148
00:07:32,880 –> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: the Eagles, UM and out there, he’s he’s kind of

149
00:07:35,720 –> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: adopted that offense. UM. So it’s a very high potent offense.

150
00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: It’s if you got the write pieces. Um. But you know,

151
00:07:41,640 –> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: you know they anchor on that offensive line. They just

152
00:07:44,120 –> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: they’re so tough upfront. They want to um muddy the

153
00:07:47,280 –> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: waters beat you up up front. Give him some time

154
00:07:49,640 –> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: and then let the receivers run. Um. But yeah, that

155
00:07:52,280 –> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: that game against the Raiders. UM. Raiders were coming in

156
00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: a little salty. UM. The coach were having some you know,

157
00:07:58,800 –> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: they was fighting some some some some aches and pains.

158
00:08:01,360 –> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: A couple of guys, h t Y Hilton was missing

159
00:08:04,360 –> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: with a quad injury. Um, they’re all pro linebackers missing,

160
00:08:09,200 –> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: Uh Darius Lennon um so that’s two of their their captains,

161
00:08:13,040 –> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: that that’s their their their big threat receiver, that’s their

162
00:08:16,160 –> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: defensive leader. It’s kind of hard facing a gritty Raiders

163
00:08:20,960 –> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: team with with two of your your captains down, and

164
00:08:23,240 –> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: they made it the ball game. Um um um. Brissette

165
00:08:27,080 –> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: has been um I think one of the brightest spots

166
00:08:29,840 –> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: in the league as far as um how he took

167
00:08:34,040 –> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: um a bad situation with uh Luck retiring before the season,

168
00:08:39,960 –> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: you know, week wait before the season about to start,

169
00:08:42,520 –> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: and he’s being thralled into starting position to lead this

170
00:08:45,920 –> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: team that’s prepared to win down a team that came

171
00:08:48,760 –> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: off of a playoff win, I mean a playoff a

172
00:08:51,640 –> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: playoff win against Houston, but then a loss against US

173
00:08:54,320 –> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: and this team was prepared to make a run at

174
00:08:56,760 –> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: it in twenty nineteen, and then the general Andrew Luck

175
00:09:01,080 –> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: retires on him and he’s forced to bear the weight

176
00:09:04,320 –> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: of the city of Indianapolis. And I think he’s done

177
00:09:07,400 –> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: a great job of doing that. But you know he’s

178
00:09:10,160 –> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna be coming here to the Kingdom. And we have

179
00:09:12,440 –> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: one thing. It’s one that the first four games out,

180
00:09:16,000 –> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: we’ve closed the book on the first four weeks. That quarter,

181
00:09:18,240 –> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: the season’s over. Now it’s week one of the second quarter.

182
00:09:21,800 –> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: It’s O wan O. We want to we want to

183
00:09:23,520 –> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: get a great start to the second quarter, and you know,

184
00:09:25,840 –> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: Andy reason a great job of getting the gas prepare

185
00:09:29,120 –> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: for that. We’ve already morphed into the second quarter of

186
00:09:31,640 –> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: this specific podcast, which is our Sunday Night Bright Lights

187
00:09:35,440 –> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom episode. But we’re gonna get in down

188
00:09:38,600 –> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: to the Colts offense a little bit deeper. Yeah, Chris

189
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: Ballard just I knew when Luck retired, Chris Ballard was

190
00:09:44,480 –> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: not going to let that team go. Oh well, I

191
00:09:46,200 –> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: guess we’ll be lousy now. I mean they’re gonna rally

192
00:09:48,520 –> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: around ja Kobe Brissette. They traded for him from New

193
00:09:50,640 –> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: England for a reason. When Luck got hurt in seventeen.

194
00:09:52,920 –> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: This guy started. He started fifteen games that year and

195
00:09:56,559 –> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: when you look at it, he has as many touchdown

196
00:09:58,480 –> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: passes as Pat Mahomes had. That’s the stat of the podcast. Yeah,

197
00:10:02,720 –> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: he’s got ten, so does Mahomes. But left tackle Anthony

198
00:10:06,320 –> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: Coston’s a first round pick. Left guard Quinton Nelson stood

199
00:10:11,240 –> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: first round pick Notre Dame made the Pro Bowl last

200
00:10:14,160 –> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: year as a rookie. Center Ryan Kelly first round pick

201
00:10:17,640 –> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: and their right tackles. Braden Smith, the kid who played

202
00:10:20,280 –> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: at a Laitha South. Yeah. Yeah, well and he went

203
00:10:23,000 –> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: to Auburn, went to Auburn. Yeah, he’s so Laitha South.

204
00:10:26,720 –> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: He was a guard. They moved into tackle. But that

205
00:10:28,760 –> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: now they’ve got a lot of investment. And you mentioned

206
00:10:30,760 –> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: dudes out. They didn’t have t Y Hilton last week.

207
00:10:33,600 –> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: And Chiefs fans will know all about two why Hilton

208
00:10:35,520 –> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: he’s gashed him in the past. But I’m going to

209
00:10:37,800 –> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: bring up in this second quarter to you a guy

210
00:10:40,559 –> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: that played ten years in this league linebacker their run game.

211
00:10:44,400 –> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: Because to me, this Colts run game shop can hit

212
00:10:47,600 –> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: you with a home run. Marlon Mack sixty three yard

213
00:10:50,360 –> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Chargers. Jordan Wilkins fifty five yard run.

214
00:10:54,440 –> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: This isn’t an eight or twelve yard run waiting on you.

215
00:10:56,760 –> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: This could go to the house from seventy or eighty. Yeah. Man,

216
00:10:58,880 –> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: it’s a linebacker starts front though, it starts right in

217
00:11:01,200 –> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: the trenches. Those guys up front, they don’t they don’t.

218
00:11:03,800 –> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: They don’t just try to block the first guy they block.

219
00:11:06,480 –> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: At every level, they’re always climbing to the next level,

220
00:11:09,520 –> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: trying to cut you off trying to because they know

221
00:11:12,040 –> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: the theory of the philosophy about a a trap inside

222
00:11:15,960 –> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: running game is that if we can make one guy

223
00:11:18,320 –> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: miss and everybody upfield blocking, that’s how you get twenty yard,

224
00:11:21,920 –> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: thirty yard, forty yard rushing touchdowns. It’s by those damn

225
00:11:25,720 –> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: field home run blocks. Uh that sets those running backs free.

226
00:11:28,920 –> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: So at the line, they’re they’re very well coached. They

227
00:11:31,800 –> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 1: take the correct steps. Um. Um, they get big on big,

228
00:11:35,880 –> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: they get leverage, they get uh, you know, get their

229
00:11:38,640 –> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: rear ends in the hole to get their running back

230
00:11:42,040 –> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a spot to cut off. But then when they when it,

231
00:11:44,200 –> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: when it gets up to that second level, as a linebacker,

232
00:11:46,120 –> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: you gotta be so prepared to come downhill and and

233
00:11:49,040 –> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: and shed and extend your arms and be able to

234
00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: go both ways and get off blockers and then run

235
00:11:54,679 –> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: to the football. And then those running backs they run

236
00:11:57,040 –> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: so hard. Um, they’re not easy. They’re not coming down easily.

237
00:12:00,200 –> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: They they break tackles, they spend they um, they do

238
00:12:03,600 –> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: a great job of even play action pass, so you

239
00:12:06,640 –> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: always feel like you gotta overplay the run. Um. But

240
00:12:10,480 –> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: when they do have the ball in their hand, they’ve

241
00:12:11,880 –> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: been making some really great I mean that’s probably uh,

242
00:12:14,600 –> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack is probably one of the guys, one of

243
00:12:17,360 –> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: the bright spots from the league. I got it. Um.

244
00:12:19,640 –> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: If you do do fantasy and stuff like that, you

245
00:12:21,600 –> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: probably uh, you know, he’s probably the thirtieth uh twenty

246
00:12:25,320 –> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: late twenty running backs. Because no one was going to

247
00:12:28,000 –> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: be so sure how this Indianolis Indiapolis coach run game

248
00:12:31,800 –> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: was gonna um kind of you know how it was

249
00:12:34,320 –> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: gonna develop. But I mean he’s been so bright um

250
00:12:36,920 –> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 1: and been you know, holding down the fort for the

251
00:12:39,360 –> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Indianaps camp camp on that run game. Just amazing years

252
00:12:43,400 –> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: so far by the young man. Yeah, Mac, he’s got

253
00:12:45,880 –> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: He’s fifth in the league in Russia, our top five.

254
00:12:48,400 –> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: So I talk, I’m gonna ask coach about this in

255
00:12:50,160 –> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: our pregame show on Sunday night because I’m dying to

256
00:12:53,440 –> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: ask him about it in details. I talked to Spacks

257
00:12:56,559 –> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: about Orny this week because this now segues and we’re

258
00:12:58,880 –> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: in our second quarter here of the offending the Kingdom

259
00:13:01,120 –> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: defending the cold run games. Where we’re at right now.

260
00:13:04,160 –> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: The tackling though I’ve seen from the Chiefs team tackling

261
00:13:06,960 –> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: in the open field, it’s improved automatically, it’s like a

262
00:13:11,240 –> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: fifty to six. But then Spags goes, well, we work

263
00:13:13,720 –> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: on it, and he talks about the physics of tackling,

264
00:13:16,000 –> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: like the angles and my target point, and she’s too

265
00:13:19,559 –> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: many guys in this league try to tackle up high. Yeah,

266
00:13:21,960 –> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: and it sounds like seventh grade. But all I see

267
00:13:25,120 –> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: right now? How much improvement have you seen in the

268
00:13:27,520 –> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: Chiefs just tackling? Hey man, it’s simple knocked the pins out.

269
00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: I remember him telling me that bun when I played

270
00:13:32,880 –> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: for him in Philadelphia. Hey man, some of these running

271
00:13:34,720 –> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: backs they’re built different today. They they they’re built to

272
00:13:37,120 –> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: break tackles. They’re wide, they have great balance. Um, if

273
00:13:40,080 –> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: you go up top, they stiff arm you. They do

274
00:13:41,880 –> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: all these things to get off tackles. But you know,

275
00:13:44,120 –> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: a running back to the foundation what makes them go

276
00:13:46,000 –> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: as their legs and you got to find a way

277
00:13:47,840 –> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: to knock those pins together and knock them from under

278
00:13:50,880 –> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: them and make them hit the ground. You know, we

279
00:13:53,800 –> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: call it the Seahawk tackle. You know, he pulls guys

280
00:13:56,679 –> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: out of the drills every day to have them do

281
00:13:59,000 –> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: one on one tackling things, different ways to fine tune

282
00:14:02,240 –> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: the guys. Um skill level is technique. UM. Anything he

283
00:14:06,160 –> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: sees in the film, he he’ll dress it right away.

284
00:14:08,360 –> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: So you don’t want bad habits to get worse and

285
00:14:10,160 –> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: become mistackled. So angles to the ball, we talk like

286
00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: a banana angle. You know, if you if you, if

287
00:14:15,720 –> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: you you take an angle to the ball, which you

288
00:14:17,679 –> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: close the line of scrimmage first and then you get

289
00:14:19,640 –> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: wide instead of going wide first. When you go wide first,

290
00:14:23,040 –> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: if you get head up on the offensive guy, you missed.

291
00:14:26,040 –> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: Every great running back would love to go one on

292
00:14:28,800 –> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: one when when you get head up on them. But

293
00:14:31,280 –> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: if you stay inside out, stay inside out, chase that

294
00:14:34,200 –> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: inside shoulder, use that banana technique as you UM, as

295
00:14:38,240 –> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: a path to get to the running back. UM that

296
00:14:40,680 –> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: that increases your tackle level, UM, your efficiency as far

297
00:14:44,040 –> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: as whatever Pro Football focus or any other UM UM

298
00:14:48,440 –> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: analytics you want to use. UM. You see it on

299
00:14:50,840 –> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: the field. You see the way our guys tackle when

300
00:14:52,920 –> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: they run to the ball inside out. UM. The D

301
00:14:55,920 –> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: line is doing their job penetrating. We make that that

302
00:14:58,840 –> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: brick wall that pickt defense UM not defending on different

303
00:15:02,280 –> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: levels UM. And when you when you when we do

304
00:15:04,760 –> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: what we’re supposed to do, UM, it’s tackle for loss.

305
00:15:07,280 –> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: Tacklephon no game. UM, well, we’ve we’ve we’ve struggled with

306
00:15:10,480 –> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: sometimes is when we play pass first, we’ve been getting

307
00:15:15,080 –> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: gashed a little bit with the inside tracks, draws, screen

308
00:15:18,880 –> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: things like that. Um, they come up in the stats

309
00:15:21,680 –> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: as as as runs sometime. Um, when we’re not when

310
00:15:25,200 –> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: we’re not fully prepared for it. So we’re at halftime

311
00:15:28,400 –> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: here of our defending the Kingdom Sunday Night Showcase, Sunday

312
00:15:32,560 –> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: Night Lights Showtime. Uh podcast, so grab your quick it’s

313
00:15:37,960 –> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: twelve minutes right, but that podcast, it’s one point two

314
00:15:40,440 –> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: seconds there you go, one thousand and one. Boom. We’re

315
00:15:42,280 –> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: going to the third quarter. And I want to ask

316
00:15:44,880 –> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: about this Indianapolis defense as I’ve studied them. You know,

317
00:15:48,520 –> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: you look at them statistically and the great card doesn’t

318
00:15:51,640 –> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: add up to the talent right now when you look

319
00:15:53,840 –> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: at them. They struggle in third down defense, They’ve struggled

320
00:15:56,320 –> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: in the red zone, at the bottom of the league

321
00:15:58,040 –> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: in red zone defense, like almost percent touchdowns against him,

322
00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: And it doesn’t add up. There’s a ton of talent

323
00:16:03,680 –> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: on this defense, and I think they’re foaming at the

324
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: bit to be on Sunday Night football against my homes.

325
00:16:09,120 –> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: That’s what I’m sensing. So now you’re gonna face a

326
00:16:11,480 –> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: motivated opponent that wants to prove themselves. It’s a different scheme.

327
00:16:15,560 –> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: It’s the old Tampa two scheme. Go back to the

328
00:16:19,040 –> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: smith Monti Kiffin. Yes, you know that’s the dude that

329
00:16:23,080 –> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: kind of maybe put it together. But the point here

330
00:16:26,440 –> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: is in this Tampa two but the numbers don’t add up.

331
00:16:29,000 –> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you about up front, because

332
00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: they love to play two big guys Margus Hunt Nico

333
00:16:33,080 –> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: autry right on the shoulder of the center. What does

334
00:16:36,520 –> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: that do for Austin Ryder? Positively? Negatively? Man, it’s tough

335
00:16:39,720 –> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: to um to block this in like a double nose

336
00:16:42,680 –> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: right double zero techniques. M you shave both ends of

337
00:16:45,240 –> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: the center. He doesn’t know who’s penetrating, who’s rapping. He

338
00:16:47,720 –> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: didn’t know. Uh, the slanting stunting um just you know,

339
00:16:51,040 –> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: just to add that to EPI pressure on the guy

340
00:16:52,760 –> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: who’s who? First of all, he has to snap the ball,

341
00:16:54,960 –> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: and we know, you know, we run a whole lot

342
00:16:56,800 –> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: of shotgun um. Any anytime you have that much pressure

343
00:17:00,200 –> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: right on you as a center, it gets something else

344
00:17:02,320 –> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: on your mind. You might forget a blocking scheme or

345
00:17:05,600 –> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: you might forget you know, a count or something like that. Um,

346
00:17:07,960 –> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: so they put guys right, you know, two guys hot

347
00:17:10,280 –> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: and heavy on you. They really get in your ear

348
00:17:12,320 –> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: and put a lot of pressure on you in that position.

349
00:17:14,920 –> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: And we talk about that Tamba two, like you know,

350
00:17:16,600 –> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: Dungee brought up to India. They’ve kept it there since

351
00:17:18,480 –> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: they got there. Um, it’s one of those bend don’t break.

352
00:17:21,440 –> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: And like you said, the numbers, it makes you confused

353
00:17:24,200 –> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: because that bend don’t break. You’re supposed to be really

354
00:17:26,880 –> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: great in the red zone. You give up a whole

355
00:17:29,040 –> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: bunch of yardage, keep the offense snapping plays so you

356
00:17:31,960 –> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: can try to make fumbles, make interceptions. You give up

357
00:17:35,119 –> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: three four yards to play. But once you get to

358
00:17:37,280 –> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 1: the thirty twenty yard line, that’s when you bow your

359
00:17:39,920 –> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 1: back up, your backs against the wall and you try

360
00:17:41,880 –> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: to hold them to a field goal. They’ve been just

361
00:17:43,960 –> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: the opposite. I mean, once you got into the twenty,

362
00:17:46,000 –> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: they’ve been it’s almost been a cake walk seventy some

363
00:17:48,520 –> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: percent into the end zone for for their defense in

364
00:17:51,480 –> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: that red zone. Um, that just doesn’t fit the nature

365
00:17:54,280 –> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: of the skill level the guys we know they have

366
00:17:56,720 –> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: lining up there so and then, like you said that,

367
00:18:00,200 –> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: being able to go against Pat Mahomes. If there’s ever

368
00:18:04,119 –> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: a chance for a defense to show the world, to

369
00:18:07,119 –> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: show the nation that they are for real, they’re serious,

370
00:18:09,440 –> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: there’s something to be reckoned with. Um you wanted on

371
00:18:11,600 –> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: national TV against Mahomes. You want to be able to

372
00:18:14,119 –> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: show the nation that against the best quarterback in the

373
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: league is when our defense will rise up and be

374
00:18:19,840 –> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: the best. Yeah, so big will be the inactives at

375
00:18:22,760 –> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 1: six o’clock. There’s gonna be game time decisions because a

376
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: part of the cold issue has been injuries. Darius Leonard’s

377
00:18:28,680 –> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: a stud defensive Rookie of the Year last year at linebacker.

378
00:18:31,800 –> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: We saw him in the playoffs. The secondary is where

379
00:18:34,240 –> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: we’re going to be most interested to see. Malie Cooker,

380
00:18:36,280 –> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: Clayton Gathers Bill starting safeties could be out. That means

381
00:18:39,680 –> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: that Quincy Wilson may have to rotate in there. But

382
00:18:42,840 –> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: their corners are good. Kenny Moore the second had a

383
00:18:45,560 –> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 1: good game against Kansas City last year in the playoffs.

384
00:18:49,600 –> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: But I’m gonna you brought up right in the middle

385
00:18:51,400 –> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: of that offensive line or ask you about him. But

386
00:18:53,800 –> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I’m also seeing guys doing a good job the guards

387
00:18:56,000 –> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: like why last week lude Duvenai tardif at the point

388
00:18:59,040 –> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: of attacks or otherwise. You know again it wasn’t pretty

389
00:19:02,920 –> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: boy football. But Daryl Williams now it is growing man.

390
00:19:05,160 –> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: He’s growing in in front of her eyes. But you

391
00:19:06,960 –> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: can’t grow if I don’t have my legs your pins

392
00:19:09,600 –> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: as you talk to you. But I’m seeing duce our

393
00:19:11,840 –> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: guys stoning guys right at the London scrimmage. Yeah, Andy

394
00:19:14,840 –> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: hed gotta you know Coache takes a lot of credit

395
00:19:16,680 –> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: for that. His office line is one of the toughest

396
00:19:18,760 –> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: um you know, you don’t You don’t see him with

397
00:19:22,080 –> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: these high grades coming out of college. They’re not the

398
00:19:25,520 –> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: holly uh um recruited and and and high draft picks.

399
00:19:30,080 –> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: But once they get here um ltd and and fish

400
00:19:33,359 –> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: and um um cam and every when they get into

401
00:19:37,680 –> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: this system, they get they they they work with them,

402
00:19:40,560 –> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: They work on their fundamentals and they’re able to make

403
00:19:43,080 –> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: adjustments on the fly and work with Patton, protect the

404
00:19:46,359 –> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: pocket and create run scenes. Um um. For for both

405
00:19:50,480 –> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: of the Williams and for the shady McCoy um. I

406
00:19:53,320 –> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: mean you look at the way our rushing attack has

407
00:19:55,359 –> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: evolved since the beginning of the season, and it’s it’s

408
00:19:58,119 –> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: kind of like, all right, we had a slow star.

409
00:19:59,440 –> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: Slow star didn’t boom hunting for the yards against Raiders

410
00:20:01,600 –> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: boom um um hitting Detroit for touchdowns and you know,

411
00:20:04,720 –> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: getting inside the two yard line, I’m not getting not

412
00:20:07,080 –> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: giving them that point of attack penetration. Everybody knew it

413
00:20:09,720 –> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: was gonna be a run. And we don’t get into

414
00:20:11,960 –> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: a power back with Sherman. No, we run the same RPO.

415
00:20:14,640 –> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: We went to the same off tackle um um, utilizing

416
00:20:18,840 –> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy’s and Williams. They have such great vision from

417
00:20:22,680 –> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: from from a running back position. Um. It’s like, you

418
00:20:25,280 –> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: can’t be right as a linebacker if if the hole

419
00:20:27,760 –> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the C gap and you go

420
00:20:29,359 –> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: to the C gap, where they go where you vacated,

421
00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: and if you come downhill then they stay true and

422
00:20:33,960 –> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: they got an extra um, extra blocker for where you’re

423
00:20:37,040 –> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: supposed to be. So um, you kind of you know,

424
00:20:39,560 –> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: damn if you did, and damn if you don’t. As

425
00:20:41,040 –> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: a linebacker, so you just gotta penetrate and put your

426
00:20:43,800 –> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: you know, put your ears down and then try to

427
00:20:46,200 –> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: hope that um the guys at the point of attack

428
00:20:48,440 –> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: are holding there, holding the ford so that when you um,

429
00:20:51,320 –> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, let’s that backside b gapp le, Uh take

430
00:20:55,000 –> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: on that a gap that um, you can you can

431
00:20:56,960 –> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 1: hold the Chiefs for you know, a short game, but

432
00:21:00,080 –> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: the guys in front you can’t any any opos. Is

433
00:21:03,280 –> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: there two two studs in the middle. That’s gonna be

434
00:21:05,520 –> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: the anchor. Um. And then they expect everybody is to

435
00:21:07,840 –> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: fly around, Uh, play simple coverages. Um, you know, bring

436
00:21:11,800 –> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: a simple you know, every once in a while, this

437
00:21:13,359 –> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: nickel blitz to come off the edge, play a zone

438
00:21:15,640 –> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: behind it and see if you can pick up the blitz,

439
00:21:17,760 –> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: but get the ball out of Pat Mahomes hands, and

440
00:21:19,560 –> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: then rally to the football. Try to create turnovers. Um.

441
00:21:23,119 –> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: That’s what they do. It’s very simplistic. Um, but they’ve

442
00:21:25,920 –> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: been doing it, you know, historically, been doing it really well. Yeah,

443
00:21:29,880 –> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: I’m justin here’s gonna be foaming at them out too.

444
00:21:31,840 –> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: He that plays for the Colts, you know him, he’ll

445
00:21:34,240 –> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: be Yeah, he’s he can’t wait to play this game.

446
00:21:36,480 –> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: He’s wearing ninety nine now not fifty because Anthony Walker,

447
00:21:39,680 –> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker, we’re number fifty before we go to

448
00:21:42,440 –> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That’s Defending the Kingdom podcast, though, I

449
00:21:45,800 –> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: do want to bring us something I’ve noticed as well.

450
00:21:47,840 –> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: We talked at the very beginning of the podcast about

451
00:21:49,880 –> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes showing toughness and it just continues to grow.

452
00:21:53,160 –> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: Doesn’t need big stats to make tough plays and win

453
00:21:55,680 –> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: a game like last week over at Detroit. But this

454
00:21:58,480 –> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: receiving cord and I’m gonna throw Elsie in there. He

455
00:22:01,160 –> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: has made some tough catches. Now I go back to

456
00:22:03,840 –> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: Pringle’s catch. That’s as tough as it gets. Now, Mahomes

457
00:22:06,880 –> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: put the ball, he like sewed the football to his

458
00:22:09,600 –> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: inner blood vessel of his fore arm. But d Rob,

459
00:22:14,000 –> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: I’m seeing d Rob make catches Pringles catch last week,

460
00:22:17,520 –> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: Hardman’s learning. Same with Sammy, but Kelsey too. That’s like

461
00:22:20,200 –> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: you’re catching the ball and Floyd Mayweather is waiting there

462
00:22:23,920 –> 00:22:26,680
Speaker 1: with your pugle stick to beat you like a drum

463
00:22:26,720 –> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: when you catch it. I’m seeing dudes now grow in

464
00:22:30,359 –> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: toughness in catching the football. Man. You know, the great

465
00:22:32,920 –> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: thing about Pringle is that it wasn’t a week’s work

466
00:22:35,600 –> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: or work that put into that catch. It was a

467
00:22:38,119 –> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: whole season. It was last year’s training camp coming up injury.

468
00:22:41,920 –> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: This year’s training camp and finally had a chance to

469
00:22:44,000 –> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: get on the field in a crucial last drive of

470
00:22:48,119 –> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: a game and having your number being called. There was

471
00:22:52,040 –> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 1: no way that young man wasn’t gonna catch that ball

472
00:22:54,480 –> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: and try as hard as to get an zone. He

473
00:22:56,040 –> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: wouldn’t have Cable mac truck came and hit him and

474
00:22:58,520 –> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: trying to decleaned him from that ball. He wasn’t gonna

475
00:23:00,640 –> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: let go that ball and he wasn’t gonna get get

476
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: stopped outside the five yard line. He was a man

477
00:23:05,680 –> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: with on a mission, with a purpose. But it was

478
00:23:08,359 –> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: all the sacrifice from as long as he’s been a

479
00:23:10,840 –> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: part of this program, just waiting for his time to

480
00:23:13,440 –> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: get on the field and shine. And we see it

481
00:23:15,760 –> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: this player at the player. We call it the next

482
00:23:17,640 –> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: man up, people stepping up. With Cheeter being down for

483
00:23:21,040 –> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: a few weeks, we’ve had a different guy each week.

484
00:23:24,480 –> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: First week he was Sammy Watkins, then it was Mcole Hartman,

485
00:23:27,560 –> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: then it was de Robed. This time was Pringoing crush

486
00:23:30,520 –> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: time and collectively whenever they’re asked to do something. That

487
00:23:34,040 –> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 1: receiver Corps as a group of guys have played so

488
00:23:37,960 –> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: big and we can include Kelsey as a receiver because

489
00:23:40,560 –> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: that’s what he does best. But that that collected five

490
00:23:43,880 –> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: or six players have been such an awesome weapon for

491
00:23:47,040 –> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: the Kingdom to use. And Pat Mahomes has said, if

492
00:23:49,440 –> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: you listen to the franchise, all we gotta do is

493
00:23:51,800 –> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: what we do. If we do what we do, nobody

494
00:23:54,160 –> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: can stop our offense. And I think those guys they

495
00:23:56,760 –> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: not only believe it, they bleed it. They’re willing to

496
00:23:59,240 –> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: go out there, blood sweating tears, do whatever they gotta do,

497
00:24:01,760 –> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 1: do their jobs to get to progress that ball, first down,

498
00:24:06,200 –> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: first down, and then the opportunity for a touchdown. And

499
00:24:08,920 –> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: that’s what they’ve been doing. Yeah, if you can argue

500
00:24:11,000 –> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: if Pringle doesn’t make that play, it’s a field goal

501
00:24:13,040 –> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: and we’re going to overtime. That became the winning play

502
00:24:15,960 –> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: to set up the winning play. UM. Now we go

503
00:24:18,560 –> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter of the Defending the Kingdom podcast

504
00:24:20,840 –> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Colts with the Sunday night bright lights shining

505
00:24:23,920 –> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: on this game and this will be an entertaining game

506
00:24:26,440 –> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: for the world to watch. UM, what was your last

507
00:24:29,600 –> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: year at University of Richmond oh U eighteen eighteen fifty three.

508
00:24:35,320 –> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: Well happened about nineteen ninety seven. I think was my

509
00:24:39,880 –> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: last season. Then all right, let’s get this. Put this

510
00:24:41,880 –> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: in perspective your senior your junior year at the University

511
00:24:45,240 –> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: of Richmond was Adam Vinati’s first year in the National

512
00:24:49,040 –> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: Football League. This cult kick along twenty four years at

513
00:24:53,040 –> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: forty six years of age. You’re around with Morton Anderson,

514
00:24:55,640 –> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: who’s with the Chiefs. I think, I mean twenty four

515
00:24:58,000 –> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 1: years in this league. It leads me to special teams. Yeah,

516
00:25:00,800 –> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: and the Colts. Now, let’s be honest. In the divisional

517
00:25:04,480 –> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: playoff victory by the Chiefs thirty one thirteen, people kind

518
00:25:07,560 –> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: of forget well the block punt almost he gat boom

519
00:25:11,880 –> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: block punt touchdown Colts right before the half. That could

520
00:25:14,720 –> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 1: have flipped the game a little bit. Yeah, Splash plays

521
00:25:18,080 –> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: in special teams. And I know Dave Tobe is working

522
00:25:20,920 –> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: like heck, he’s kind of had to put things together

523
00:25:22,960 –> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: like heck, Andy Hick. He’s putting like splash and things

524
00:25:25,680 –> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: together personnel wise and scheme wise. But you’re just hoping,

525
00:25:29,600 –> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: waiting that there’s gonna be some Splash plays on defense

526
00:25:32,040 –> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: and that may as that be a return. It could

527
00:25:33,720 –> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: be block kicks. These Colt guys, they got the dude

528
00:25:37,359 –> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: dun Eco autry lines up right on the nostrils of

529
00:25:40,040 –> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: the center. He’s got eight block kicks the past six years.

530
00:25:43,080 –> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: That’s the best in the league. Marcus Hunt had seventeen

531
00:25:46,119 –> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: block kicks when he was in college at SMU. So

532
00:25:48,680 –> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: a block kick can be a splash play. Yeah, we

533
00:25:50,640 –> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: talk about field position. It’s some’s something to coach Dave

534
00:25:53,520 –> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: Tobe preaches on on daily basis when they have an

535
00:25:57,400 –> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: opportunity to go cover a kick, whether it’s a punt kickoff,

536
00:26:00,040 –> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: whatever it is. The starting field position that you put

537
00:26:02,680 –> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: the other team’s offense on is such a direct correlation

538
00:26:06,600 –> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: to their ability to score. If you’re a defense and

539
00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: you’re walking towards their end zone to start your defensive stand,

540
00:26:14,240 –> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: you you just feel better having to walk towards the

541
00:26:16,960 –> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: middle of the field or your own end. Sometimes it

542
00:26:18,920 –> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: makes you feel a little bit hen Man, we gotta

543
00:26:20,680 –> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: we can’t give up. We can’t even give up a

544
00:26:22,320 –> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: first down, or they’re already in field goal range, you

545
00:26:24,240 –> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: can’t give up anything. That’s a lot of pressure for

546
00:26:26,440 –> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: a defense to be up under. But um, when they’re

547
00:26:28,720 –> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: starting inside the fifteen yard line or the twenty, and

548
00:26:31,359 –> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: you know you got a lot of field to work

549
00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: where you can do some things creatively. Um. It opens

550
00:26:35,480 –> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: up the defensive playbooks for the coordinator, opens up the calls,

551
00:26:38,119 –> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: let the guys play with a little bit more swagger. Um.

552
00:26:40,960 –> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 1: That’s the type of defense we want to see, um

553
00:26:43,600 –> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. Not not playing with your erect them

554
00:26:47,040 –> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: all tight because you’re scared of giving up a point

555
00:26:49,240 –> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: or a play, or the guys throwing up jump balls

556
00:26:52,280 –> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: in the end zone because you’re so close to the

557
00:26:54,160 –> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: end zone. Uh. But those splash plays when it comes

558
00:26:57,320 –> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: to the special teams, Um, we gotta be lights out

559
00:26:59,640 –> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: and special teams. One hundred percent kickoffs, one hundred cent coverage,

560
00:27:03,160 –> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: one hundredscent field goals. Um, every punt you know, when

561
00:27:07,920 –> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: we can, we got the mayn for it. We just

562
00:27:09,760 –> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: gotta give me an oposent to do it. Dustin cole Quit,

563
00:27:12,359 –> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: you know historically it’s probably one of the best kickers.

564
00:27:14,600 –> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: It not only putting you inside to twenty, but when

565
00:27:16,440 –> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 1: you said the ten yard line, which is a picassoist art,

566
00:27:20,320 –> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: um edit and in its own right, But as I said,

567
00:27:23,240 –> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: it’s gonna be such important and part of the games.

568
00:27:25,480 –> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: We call it flipping the field. And I’ve noticed too

569
00:27:29,640 –> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: with the cheese. There’s almost sometimes they’re trying too hard,

570
00:27:31,920 –> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 1: like trying to get a big return, like you can

571
00:27:33,480 –> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: see Dad, like I’m gonna take this, and you’re like, man,

572
00:27:36,040 –> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: maybe a fair catch right here. It’s that fine line

573
00:27:38,320 –> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: or penalties, the block and back. We’ve seen a ton

574
00:27:40,920 –> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: of those, like just one more thing, maybe I’ll spring

575
00:27:43,240 –> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: and loose, and there’s almost like just has some freedom here,

576
00:27:46,720 –> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: just just play get again, um Hardman fumbling at the

577
00:27:49,840 –> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: end of the kickoff return to start the third quarter

578
00:27:51,840 –> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: last week. Those are effort type plays, but sometimes too

579
00:27:55,520 –> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: much effort can be destructive. Ian a special teams play

580
00:27:59,480 –> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: in it’s magnified because our offense is so explosive. Once once,

581
00:28:04,760 –> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: once a rider and Pat Mahomes have their hand on

582
00:28:07,440 –> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: the ball and our offense has a possession. We know

583
00:28:10,320 –> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: the touchdown ratio as far as every time I’m going

584
00:28:13,400 –> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: into a game, if we have you know, eight to

585
00:28:15,800 –> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: ten possessions, we’re gonna have six or seven opportunities to score.

586
00:28:19,760 –> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: We’re gonna have six or seven touchdown field goals. I mean,

587
00:28:21,840 –> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: we we at that. We click at that rate, um

588
00:28:25,320 –> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: in and out. Then the only thing that can throw

589
00:28:28,400 –> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: you off is short possessions due to turnovers or not

590
00:28:31,600 –> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: even getting a possession because a special team’s fumble. Um

591
00:28:35,240 –> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: and teams have to you have to believe after last week,

592
00:28:38,560 –> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: teams have watched that film and they’re gonna preach punch

593
00:28:41,960 –> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: the ball stripped the ball um um. Any any you

594
00:28:45,440 –> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: know one side um trying to get an ex possession through.

595
00:28:49,920 –> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: Maybe you know a special team, fake field goal, fake punt.

596
00:28:53,520 –> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: All those things have to be um on your on

597
00:28:56,640 –> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: your radar when you’re a Chiefs player, because you know

598
00:28:59,200 –> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: that the other team offense feels like they have to

599
00:29:01,920 –> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: somehow someway create some extra possessions to keep it away

600
00:29:05,840 –> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: from Pat Mahomes. Sometimes I hate it when we’re right

601
00:29:09,240 –> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: back will listening to the last week’s podcast because it’s

602
