Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. All right, it is time to rally.
12
00:00:54,280 –> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: One thing I’ve learned about the National Football League. I’ve
13
00:00:56,520 –> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: only been in the twenty six years, But one thing
14
00:00:58,440 –> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: I have learned and even studying the one hundred year
15
00:01:01,480 –> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: history of this league is how teams and players can
16
00:01:06,000 –> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: rally around challenging circumstances to play at a higher level
17
00:01:11,080 –> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: than maybe they thought possible or because of the urgency
18
00:01:13,760 –> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: the matter jumped their game up. Now we don’t know
19
00:01:17,440 –> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: as we record this podcast whether Patrick Mahomes will be
20
00:01:21,120 –> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: able to play against the Packers on Sunday Night football
21
00:01:24,160 –> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: or not. So let’s give you that a disclaimer to
22
00:01:27,560 –> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: begin with. But even if he does, we all know
23
00:01:30,280 –> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: what happened a week ago on Thursday night on Thursday
24
00:01:33,680 –> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Night football in Denver. If Matt Moore has to play
25
00:01:37,800 –> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: or Mahomes has to play, let’s talk about rallying barbershop
26
00:01:41,959 –> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: and the fact that I’ve seen it time and time
27
00:01:43,920 –> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: again in this league, where guys will rally to that
28
00:01:47,400 –> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: spot and say we’ll figure this out. Yeah. I know
29
00:01:49,840 –> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: you’re going to mention a few of the historically great
30
00:01:53,200 –> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: rallies that the Chiefs were involved in, But we just
31
00:01:55,280 –> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: go back to last week against the Dembroncos. It was
32
00:01:58,040 –> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: amazing to see with your leader falling and grabbing his
33
00:02:01,960 –> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: head and grabbing his leg and not sure he’s going
34
00:02:04,440 –> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: to be able to get up or you know, telling
35
00:02:07,960 –> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: the cart get out of here. Um. One of one
36
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: of those uh this images of the emotion of a
37
00:02:13,720 –> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: leader just telling the night nat man, I’m walking off
38
00:02:15,639 –> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: this field. There’s no way a cart or anything else
39
00:02:18,560 –> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: is gonna take me out the field. I’m gonna walk
40
00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: off this field and I expect you guys to go
41
00:02:22,080 –> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: finish this game. It was at the point of the
42
00:02:24,200 –> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: game where the Denver Broncos definitely could have took the
43
00:02:26,080 –> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: momentum at home up at mal High and there could
44
00:02:30,040 –> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: have been something to there, you know, smelling blood in
45
00:02:32,040 –> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: the water. The defense could have really started coming after us,
46
00:02:34,440 –> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 1: blissing us offensively, going back to the ground and pound, thinking,
47
00:02:38,080 –> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: oh that they don’t have their leader, they don’t have
48
00:02:39,639 –> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: their pat Mahomes, that the magic is gone, so let’s
49
00:02:42,800 –> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: let’s try to steal this game back. There was none
50
00:02:45,480 –> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: of that. The defense stepped on their throat. The defense
51
00:02:48,919 –> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: took control of the game. We just kept coming. It
52
00:02:51,360 –> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: was so it was so good to see those guys
53
00:02:53,080 –> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: so passionate and hungry about getting after the quarterback and
54
00:02:55,760 –> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: stopping that run game that people would take. We had
55
00:02:58,120 –> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: been bleeding for a few years, for a few weeks
56
00:03:00,639 –> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: due to the run game as many as many run
57
00:03:02,480 –> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: yards run at Temps. We was given up per game
58
00:03:05,160 –> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: to go to Denver and to stop that bleeding and
59
00:03:08,080 –> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: then get after the Joe Flacco and get after that
60
00:03:10,840 –> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: quarterback for nine sex. That was a testament to a
61
00:03:15,320 –> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: defense rallying to a moment in time where they would
62
00:03:19,320 –> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: need it well and to your point, and while we’re
63
00:03:22,400 –> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: on that game. We’re in the first quarter here of
64
00:03:25,040 –> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: this portion of defending the Kingdom, and it’s the rally
65
00:03:28,520 –> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: version of the show. The defense, though, said, we’ll take
66
00:03:32,120 –> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: it upon themselves. I sensed in that stadium doing the
67
00:03:34,200 –> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: play by play, it’s only thirteen to six. They don’t
68
00:03:36,720 –> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: have Mahomes. All Denver needs is one flukey play, get
69
00:03:40,040 –> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton behind the defense. It’s tied at thirteen. Another
70
00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: places a firestorm or a return or a scoop and
71
00:03:45,560 –> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: score or whatever, or maybe they get Matt Moore to
72
00:03:48,240 –> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: get a turnover. All right, the defense all of a
73
00:03:51,800 –> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: sudden goes to another level. They go to another level.
74
00:03:55,840 –> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: Spagser’s call the way they execute it, and Anthony Hitchins
75
00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: goes there, enrips the ball free and Raglan picks it
76
00:04:02,400 –> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: up and runs it in. I said that took the
77
00:04:04,600 –> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: oxygen out of one lung of that Denver crowd, because
78
00:04:08,440 –> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: it’s now two touchdowns. You need two flukish plays if
79
00:04:11,920 –> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: that’s the case, and then the kude Grod taking the law.
80
00:04:15,320 –> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: The oxygen out of the second lung was the wheel route,
81
00:04:19,000 –> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: the shallow wheel that Matt through to Tyreek Hill and
82
00:04:22,240 –> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: special teams elevated there again, that’s the best special team’s
83
00:04:25,000 –> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: performance of the year if you were a penalty’s thirty
84
00:04:27,400 –> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: six yard punt returned coverage. Great punch by a cold
85
00:04:29,960 –> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: quick great job by Bucker. But like everybody raised their
86
00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: level after Mahomes was injured. Yeah, you hear about like
87
00:04:36,520 –> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: some people who have loss of a sense, right, if
88
00:04:38,680 –> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: you lose your vision or you lose hearing, how the
89
00:04:41,160 –> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: other senses intensify and started to pick up. That’s kind
90
00:04:44,320 –> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: of what our what our team did with the loss
91
00:04:46,360 –> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: of our leader. And he was damnful a little bit
92
00:04:48,000 –> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: and damning that out, but just chose they they chose
93
00:04:51,720 –> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: did not put him back in the game. Um, you
94
00:04:54,000 –> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: saw everybody, it was a sense of urgency, a sense
95
00:04:56,320 –> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: of heightened focus and intention to detail throughout the defense
96
00:05:01,040 –> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: and special teams, and also on the offensive side. They
97
00:05:03,560 –> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: knew they had to give more a little bit more time.
98
00:05:06,880 –> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: They had to keep the pocket a little bit cleaner
99
00:05:08,680 –> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: for him and let him get his feet wet and
100
00:05:11,080 –> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: let him get going, let him get some momentum behind
101
00:05:13,920 –> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 1: the offense. So they knew thirteen points was not going
102
00:05:17,000 –> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: to be enough to keep the Denver Broncos from winning
103
00:05:19,800 –> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: that ball game and Cheetah came through man get behind
104
00:05:22,839 –> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: the defense once he caught the ball outrun Chris Harris
105
00:05:26,160 –> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Junior shooting the deuces and the rest is history. But
106
00:05:30,600 –> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: the young guys too on defense was encouraging. That carries
107
00:05:33,160 –> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: over to this week when I watched the video and
108
00:05:35,279 –> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: saw Derek Noddy clogged the line of scrimmage. I saw
109
00:05:38,400 –> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: Rashad Fenton come in as the dime back and make
110
00:05:40,560 –> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: like three terrific plays, including a blitz, a coverage play,
111
00:05:44,320 –> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 1: another coverage play. Then you saw the veterans Frank Clark
112
00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: or the honey Badger I said, badger in the box,
113
00:05:49,760 –> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: with Tyron Matthew playing in the box, a lot Sorens
114
00:05:52,320 –> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: and others. It was all coming together, young guys and
115
00:05:55,240 –> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: older guys. They’re gonna to do it again in this
116
00:05:57,279 –> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: packer game. Maybe plus plus, but still the point here
117
00:06:00,880 –> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: is in this league, guys will rally around a certain situation.
118
00:06:05,680 –> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: I’ve seen it time and again. Yeah, the linebackers, you know,
119
00:06:08,560 –> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: not to overlook them hitchings getting back in there and
120
00:06:11,160 –> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: getting back in the saddle running the defense. Reggie Raggling, right,
121
00:06:15,160 –> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: he’s been almost a forgotten soldier. People wanted to write
122
00:06:17,480 –> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: him off, whether he’s playing a defensive end position, a
123
00:06:20,400 –> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: middle lineback, wherever he is. He’s just shown it. Hey,
124
00:06:23,120 –> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I’m still I’m still an effective player here in the league.
125
00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: I can get things done at a high level. Put
126
00:06:27,640 –> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 1: me in, coach, let me go, let me, let me
127
00:06:28,920 –> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: go make some plays. And the rains were kind of
128
00:06:31,760 –> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: taking off so many of these guys, and they showed up.
129
00:06:35,320 –> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: They showed up in the staff books, they showed up.
130
00:06:37,920 –> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: I’m on the field making big plays, sack, strip fumbles, touchdowns,
131
00:06:41,839 –> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: going a touchdown. You saw the raggling shuffle, the two
132
00:06:44,360 –> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: steps he did at once he got into the end zone,
133
00:06:47,000 –> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: and then making a sack later on in the game.
134
00:06:48,960 –> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel so great for those guys because
135
00:06:51,720 –> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: they’ve been under so much scrutiny and pressure by everybody
136
00:06:54,520 –> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: about their performance in the first five weeks of the season.
137
00:06:57,920 –> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Now there’s final portion of the first quarter of our
138
00:07:00,800 –> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: This episode of Defending the Kingdom, which is our rally episode,
139
00:07:04,480 –> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: has to deal with some history. I’m gonna put in
140
00:07:06,440 –> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: a little plug here before the game on our Facebook
141
00:07:09,920 –> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: live show. I’m gonna you and bj are gonna toss
142
00:07:13,160 –> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: to me, but I’m gonna show some examples of rallying
143
00:07:17,240 –> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: or improbable victories. And it’s interesting in the short history
144
00:07:20,760 –> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: between the Chiefs and Packers, it includes the Green Bay Packers,
145
00:07:24,880 –> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: one of those you’re involved in. The Chiefs had no
146
00:07:28,080 –> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 1: chance at winning at lambeau Field. Brett Farve’s the quarterback
147
00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: having a nice day and the Packers are up by
148
00:07:34,480 –> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: seventeen points in the fourth quarter. Now you rally to
149
00:07:38,120 –> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: a circumstance. Sometimes it can be an injury. Sometimes it
150
00:07:41,160 –> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: can be no, this isn’t over. We’re going to figure
151
00:07:44,680 –> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: this out, and the entire team response. I’m gonna bring
152
00:07:48,600 –> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: out This is a snippet. You can follow this whole
153
00:07:50,760 –> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: thing Sunday. We want you to see this. But one
154
00:07:53,680 –> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: of the plays that’s so forgotten in that was Jerome Woods,
155
00:07:57,440 –> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: a seventy nine yard pick six against the chief Offenseer scored,
156
00:08:02,320 –> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: but the Packer offense is right, they’re at the twenty
157
00:08:04,600 –> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: yard line. A field goal puts him back up by
158
00:08:06,680 –> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: water like thirteen. He runs it all the way back.
159
00:08:09,880 –> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: So again, it was the elevation of a player or
160
00:08:12,800 –> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: a team uh that comes to the rescue at the
161
00:08:16,280 –> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: most desperate moment. Man that that now was that’s a
162
00:08:19,000 –> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: signified team, That oh three team, that defense. Um, as
163
00:08:22,320 –> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: you know, we took a lot of scrutiny about giving
164
00:08:24,000 –> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: up a lot of yardage and points, but we stuck tight.
165
00:08:26,600 –> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: We knew the philosophy of that defense was to create
166
00:08:28,600 –> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: turnovers to try to get more possessions for our offense.
167
00:08:31,760 –> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: We knew we had a top three man. I think
168
00:08:33,200 –> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: maybe the top offense in the league with Ali Son
169
00:08:35,600 –> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: is Trent Green, Tony Gonzalez, Yeah, yeah, Priestone the probably
170
00:08:41,640 –> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: best offensive line in the history of football. And so
171
00:08:44,600 –> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: we defensively just wanted to create turnovers, create habit, get
172
00:08:48,160 –> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: them to turn the ball over at a high rate
173
00:08:49,920 –> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: to create more possessions for our offense. That game, we
174
00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: were down, it was fourth quarter, We was down, but
175
00:08:55,240 –> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: defensively there was no quit. We were still reacting to
176
00:08:58,280 –> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: the ball, trying to create turnovers. And Jerome Woods came
177
00:09:01,240 –> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: up with a big pick six. Like you said, that’s
178
00:09:03,559 –> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: a that’s a fourteen point turnaround. Instead of them going
179
00:09:06,160 –> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: in for a touchdown, we score, We’re back in the game.
180
00:09:09,240 –> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: Somehow we nudge that game to overtime and then the
181
00:09:13,240 –> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: rest was history. Man, the rest was history. Second biggest
182
00:09:15,880 –> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: forgotten play of that game. People were what are they
183
00:09:18,200 –> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: gonna remember about that game? What do they remember? This
184
00:09:20,559 –> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: is this? They’re gonna remember what the overtime pass from
185
00:09:24,120 –> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: Green to Kennis touchdown against Boo Joo Joo whatever. That
186
00:09:27,960 –> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: guy’s name was the most forgotten, A second most forgotten
187
00:09:31,440 –> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: play after the Rummy Woods pick six. I ain’t gonna
188
00:09:34,120 –> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: tell you. I’m gonna make you watch it on Sunday night.
189
00:09:37,240 –> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: You watch it on our show, and I will tell
190
00:09:39,559 –> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: you the second biggest play people are forgotten about. But
191
00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: rallying in the past. All right, we shift gears. Now,
192
00:09:46,120 –> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: I go to the second quarter of this episode of
193
00:09:48,520 –> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: the Finging in the Kingdom, which is rally rallying past,
194
00:09:51,679 –> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: rallying present. You’ve already hit on a lot of it.
195
00:09:53,600 –> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: We hit a lot of the defense. But let’s talk
196
00:09:55,720 –> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 1: about rallying now on offense. Could be Patrick playing, yep,
197
00:09:59,120 –> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: he’s ahead of schedule. Well, I’m just gonna leave it
198
00:10:00,800 –> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: at that. Or it could be Matt. Now, one thing,
199
00:10:04,000 –> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: when Matt came in into the game on Thursday night
200
00:10:07,160 –> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: a week ago against Denver, I was wondering because coach
201
00:10:11,280 –> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: ran eleven hundred plays in Saint Joe, right, Matt didn’t
202
00:10:14,480 –> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: run a play. He was coaching the hard high school
203
00:10:17,320 –> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: seven on seven or something. I wondered how much of
204
00:10:20,320 –> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: the offense coach would already call with him. Is there
205
00:10:22,320 –> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: like ten plays he can run and we’re just gonna,
206
00:10:24,480 –> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: like hope we can glide out here. I didn’t see
207
00:10:27,360 –> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: any throttle down much at all, Like coaches looking at
208
00:10:30,880 –> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: that laminated sheet and the shallow wheel. It’s like a
209
00:10:33,960 –> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: page fifteen play that’s down in the corner where he
210
00:10:36,200 –> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: saves stuff. But the rest of the team, I thought,
211
00:10:39,240 –> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: on offense, we’ve already talked to how the defense rallied,
212
00:10:41,880 –> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: But I thought offensively, the rest of this team rallied
213
00:10:44,320 –> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: to Matt Moore man. I think it’s like riding a bike, man,
214
00:10:46,559 –> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: Like you know, you never you never really forget how
215
00:10:48,280 –> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: to balance that bike, how to get those pedals in
216
00:10:50,520 –> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: the steading with every and the handlebars altogether when you’re
217
00:10:53,600 –> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: trying to make it down the street. Matt mooy as
218
00:10:56,120 –> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: a guy man. He’s been a veteran in this league.
219
00:10:58,240 –> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: He’s been a part of some really good programs. He
220
00:11:00,760 –> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: knows philosophy, he knows play call, and he knows how
221
00:11:03,120 –> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: to control a huddle. All those details about being a
222
00:11:07,080 –> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: signal caller. He do it secondhand. He does he does
223
00:11:09,480 –> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: it by nature. So I think when they brought him
224
00:11:11,320 –> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: into the building they knew he had all those things.
225
00:11:13,040 –> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: It just they didn’t know he was gonna need to
226
00:11:14,800 –> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: call upon him against Denver at Denver Um so so
227
00:11:18,640 –> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: so quickly and so uh he answered, he rallied, He
228
00:11:22,000 –> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: answered the call, having to come in when Pat mahomes
229
00:11:26,440 –> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: and giving the offensive coordinated the the ability to call,
230
00:11:30,640 –> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: to open up the playbook and keep calling the same
231
00:11:32,520 –> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: type of plays. Uh. That’s just a testament of his
232
00:11:35,520 –> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: atom is, you know, his ability to this filter in
233
00:11:40,040 –> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: and be fluent in an offense. It’s already one of
234
00:11:43,640 –> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: the most difficult, complicated offenses in the league. Another great
235
00:11:48,360 –> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: example it is Travis Kelsey because in that game, doing
236
00:11:52,040 –> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: the play by playing thinking right now, the Chiefs first
237
00:11:54,320 –> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: rounds are like touchdowns. Yes, it’s twenty to six, but
238
00:11:57,480 –> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs would if you just eat five minutes or
239
00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: hawk and shift the field some because the Chiefs were
240
00:12:02,480 –> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: backed up. He didn’t get the ball at fifty yard line.
241
00:12:04,280 –> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: He’s back at like the fourteen I’m thinking first downs.
242
00:12:07,559 –> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: Kelsey was a third and six stretches out the football
243
00:12:11,679 –> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: and gets six and a half yards and to me
244
00:12:15,320 –> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: that those are those forgotten plays. We see the wheel
245
00:12:18,160 –> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: route for the touchdown to Tyreek Hill, but Kelsey is
246
00:12:21,040 –> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: thinking at this time, a first down here is like
247
00:12:23,120 –> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: a touchdown. I’m gonna know where the sticks are. I’m
248
00:12:26,080 –> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna run my route to the sticks. Then the dude’s
249
00:12:28,520 –> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: gonna hit me, and I’m gonna get the ball just
250
00:12:30,400 –> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: past the sticks, because right now that means ninety more
251
00:12:33,440 –> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: seconds we can run off if we get a first down. Again,
252
00:12:35,880 –> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: a vet move. How many times do we hear about
253
00:12:38,160 –> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: a receiver running a route too short, needing eight yards
254
00:12:42,160 –> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: and then running an eight yard route that gives you,
255
00:12:44,679 –> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 1: that gives no leeway, and when you got to come
256
00:12:46,960 –> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: back to the ball and you end up being a
257
00:12:48,240 –> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: half yard short. Kelsey ran in that yard just deep
258
00:12:51,440 –> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: enough to make sure he could catch it, and then
259
00:12:53,200 –> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: he held out the ball to ensure that we got
260
00:12:55,000 –> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: a great spot so we would have to use a challenge.
261
00:12:57,679 –> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: This is another vet move. Man Like it’s so any
262
00:13:00,200 –> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: guys in this locker room, they are able to step
263
00:13:02,480 –> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: up to the call and answer the bell time and
264
00:13:04,960 –> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: time again, making big play, big play, Like I said,
265
00:13:08,320 –> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: every every every mentality when the offense goes on the field,
266
00:13:11,520 –> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: it should be one thing. First down, first down, touchdown.
267
00:13:15,600 –> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: It should always be trying to get two first downs
268
00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: to turn the field. After we get two first damns,
269
00:13:19,600 –> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: we get pass manfield, middle of the field. It’s about
270
00:13:22,080 –> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: getting into the end zone. Um, it’s about scoring six,
271
00:13:24,640 –> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: not three, but those two first dawns, getting that momentum
272
00:13:27,760 –> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: going allowing to you know Dustin know, Hey, if I
273
00:13:30,960 –> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: need to punt it, i’mnna be able to peniments out
274
00:13:32,880 –> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: of the ten yard line like he does so eloquently. Um.
275
00:13:35,520 –> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: That’s the mentality that most offenses League don’t have the ability,
276
00:13:39,800 –> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: the capability, the skill level, the personnel to have that mentality.
277
00:13:44,040 –> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: They would, they would, they would feel the pressure of
278
00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: the moment and probably sometimes crumbled. But this offense is um.
279
00:13:50,360 –> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they rallied, They did what they supposed to
280
00:13:52,800 –> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: did to make sure we walked out of Dimmer with
281
00:13:55,400 –> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: a win. Colcord, I’m glad you brought him up because
282
00:13:57,760 –> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: you could chance with him too. Hey, they need one
283
00:14:00,960 –> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: of my I gotta give one of my co quit
284
00:14:03,000 –> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: specials here. I got to flip the field. It’s got
285
00:14:05,200 –> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: to be hang time. We got to cover it and
286
00:14:07,080 –> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: go drill that guy. And he did it time and
287
00:14:09,480 –> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: time again when after Mahomes left that game. And that’s
288
00:14:14,200 –> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: what we’re talking about. Here’s rallying all the way around,
289
00:14:17,559 –> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: depending on who, no matter who the quarterback is on
290
00:14:19,880 –> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football against the Packers. All right, here we’re
291
00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: at halftime. You now it works on Defending the Kingdom
292
00:14:24,840 –> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: NFL halftimes only twelve minutes, not high school halftime. At
293
00:14:27,560 –> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty you see a band and all that. Nope, none
294
00:14:29,520 –> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: of that. You get to taste an orange, go the best,
295
00:14:32,360 –> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: and in the podcast you get a second there. Now
296
00:14:36,000 –> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: we go to the third quarter of this Defending the
297
00:14:38,440 –> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Kingdom rally version of the podcast, and that has to
298
00:14:41,440 –> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: do with rally future. When I’ve seen teams have this,
299
00:14:45,560 –> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: it becomes a point of definition for a team when
300
00:14:49,480 –> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: they’re faced with and let’s be honest, eleven of the
301
00:14:52,360 –> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: twenty two starters have missed significant time in the first
302
00:14:55,560 –> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: seven games of the year for the Chiefs and they’re
303
00:14:57,480 –> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: setting at five and two. But let’s just take the
304
00:14:59,840 –> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: day Ver game. In the screen Bay game coming up
305
00:15:02,840 –> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: to me. After the Denver game, there was some greater
306
00:15:05,200 –> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: good that could define the rest of the season. We
307
00:15:08,160 –> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: mentioned young guys like Fending and Derek Noddy stepping up,
308
00:15:11,880 –> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: or a defense now having a surge of confidence. What
309
00:15:15,760 –> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: about rallying from a certain point that becomes like the
310
00:15:18,760 –> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: nucleus of an atom that takes you through months or
311
00:15:22,280 –> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: weeks and months and maybe well into the playoffs. Well,
312
00:15:25,720 –> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, you got leaders on every level of that defense, right,
313
00:15:28,680 –> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: you got Frank Clark leading the front line. You got
314
00:15:30,560 –> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: hit hit Man Hitchinson leading the linebackers. Then you got
315
00:15:33,760 –> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: Honey Badger in the secondary. And it’s I know, the
316
00:15:36,160 –> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: guys been kind of biting their tongues every week because
317
00:15:40,480 –> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: no one likes giving up those running yards. No one
318
00:15:42,440 –> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: likes giving up those points where you don’t need to.
319
00:15:46,000 –> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: You have a level of expectation that you expected to
320
00:15:49,360 –> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: play and you want to be a part of a
321
00:15:51,240 –> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: great defense. And so after week in and week out
322
00:15:54,520 –> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: of offensively this, you know, our offense doing the job,
323
00:15:57,200 –> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: doing it needs to be done, and then having to
324
00:15:59,280 –> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: home games where you felt like we just we couldn’t
325
00:16:02,200 –> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: stop to run when we needed to to get the
326
00:16:04,760 –> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: ball back to our offense. And that’s what led us
327
00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: down here. At home against the Texans and the Coats,
328
00:16:09,720 –> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: and having a chance to write the ship, having a
329
00:16:12,520 –> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: chance to rally to the call, rallied, rally, rally the
330
00:16:16,880 –> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: guys around UM. At this moment in time, the defense
331
00:16:21,640 –> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: made such a big statement UM, right and right in
332
00:16:25,800 –> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: front of everybody. Right, it made us a statement against
333
00:16:29,400 –> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: a divisional opponent UM that had been running the ball
334
00:16:32,920 –> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: very well, that had been doing some really good things
335
00:16:35,000 –> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: on offense. So you can’t take that away from our defense.
336
00:16:37,880 –> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: You gotta on the road being able to stop then
337
00:16:41,040 –> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: from what they were doing so well with lindsay Uh
338
00:16:44,440 –> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: and Freeman and that all that came to a stop.
339
00:16:48,160 –> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: Everybody played their goal, they played their their gaps, their responsibilities.
340
00:16:52,760 –> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: But it was the fight in the in the dog.
341
00:16:54,880 –> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: It was the the way they finished, the focus and
342
00:16:57,320 –> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: the attitude of that defense. It’s what made down and
343
00:17:00,440 –> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: down again. They came up to make really big plays
344
00:17:02,880 –> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: throughout the game. And this is a little bit of
345
00:17:07,000 –> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: ralling present, rallying to the future. Playing Aaron Rodgers this week,
346
00:17:11,600 –> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: oh yeah, phenomenal, But how much does that prepared you.
347
00:17:14,880 –> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: You’re gonna play Philip Rivers here in a couple of weeks,
348
00:17:17,680 –> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: But how much does that prepared you in playing Brady? Again?
349
00:17:21,320 –> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: This defense has not played this group of defense has
350
00:17:24,840 –> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: not played Brady. Okay, this is a group that’s been
351
00:17:27,440 –> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: put together with free agency, young guys, older guys. They’ve
352
00:17:30,320 –> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: all maybe some of them have played Brady at one time,
353
00:17:32,520 –> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: but not as collective as a defense. I’m just saying
354
00:17:34,920 –> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers this week and ralling to try to beat
355
00:17:37,200 –> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: him and try to figure it out what would be
356
00:17:38,680 –> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: hard to do. But there’s a greater good, is there
357
00:17:41,640 –> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: not in playing this game that could help you weeks
358
00:17:45,160 –> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: and months ahead? All right? Now, Aaron Rodgers is I mean,
359
00:17:48,280 –> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: he’s hitting on all all of a Suddens, right. He
360
00:17:50,080 –> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: got he got six wins for his teams. He had
361
00:17:52,640 –> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: six touchdowns last week. He only threw six incomplete ball.
362
00:17:56,119 –> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: So he’s hitting on all Sulmons right now. Right, He’s
363
00:17:58,119 –> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: doing he’s doing things that um, you know, you’ll say,
364
00:18:01,800 –> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: he’s playing it at an AA level. Right. His QBR
365
00:18:05,480 –> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: last week was one for the eight point three, the
366
00:18:07,160 –> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: highest that can be. UM. So he’s gonna come into
367
00:18:09,680 –> 00:18:14,880
Speaker 1: Arrowhead feeling real good about himself defensively. That’s what you want,
368
00:18:14,920 –> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: you want to You want a man at his best.
369
00:18:17,200 –> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: I don’t I don’t want a guy coming in with
370
00:18:19,080 –> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: their second string quarterback or or a Pro Bowl quarterback
371
00:18:22,680 –> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: who’s coming off a three interception game. He’s got to
372
00:18:25,040 –> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: find and rEFInd himself. Now. I want the best of
373
00:18:28,040 –> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: the best, because once the season’s over, he’s trying to
374
00:18:30,440 –> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: go a playoffs. Every week you’re gonna get the best.
375
00:18:33,280 –> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: You’re gonna get somebody’s best effort in the playoffs. And
376
00:18:35,720 –> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: if you don’t arise to the occasion in the playoffs,
377
00:18:38,720 –> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: you go home. There is no next week. And so
378
00:18:41,600 –> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: for the future of this team to rally, it begins
379
00:18:44,560 –> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: just Sunday against one. Aaron Rodgers HUM and Aaron Jones
380
00:18:51,640 –> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: m MBS the wide receiver taking out that offensive line
381
00:18:56,480 –> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: that’s gonna try to run the ball and pass protect
382
00:18:58,600 –> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: him those deep play action pass and give Rogers twenty
383
00:19:01,520 –> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: thirty yards of a free pocket area to step up
384
00:19:05,600 –> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: in and defensively, we got to discontinue to penetrate that pocket,
385
00:19:11,320 –> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: get him moving on the run. Um gotta hit the quarterback.
386
00:19:14,960 –> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: Hit these running backs. Don’t don’t let a resurgence of one.
387
00:19:19,560 –> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, he’s been like a phoenix in the rising
388
00:19:23,600 –> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: right from the dead. He’s been a resurgence of his
389
00:19:26,640 –> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: career this season. Um, we gotta put these guys in
390
00:19:29,520 –> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: their play. We gotta, we gotta make sure that they
391
00:19:31,000 –> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: have to earn every yard, every first down, every touchdown,
392
00:19:35,760 –> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: the field goal for four quarters straight and then you
393
00:19:38,960 –> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: let the school board take care of itself. But defensively
394
00:19:41,560 –> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: that that mentality has to be Uh did they fight
395
00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: every snap of the of the game? Packers are six
396
00:19:48,200 –> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: and one, but Rogers has been sacked twelve times. He
397
00:19:51,000 –> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: has lost two fumbles. He’s not an interception thrower, never
398
00:19:55,680 –> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: has been. In fact, he’s got the best ratio of
399
00:19:58,000 –> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns interception ratio an NFL history. And people ask me
400
00:20:02,280 –> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: all the time, Who’s Patrick. Remind you of it? It
401
00:20:05,119 –> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: is Rogers, but Box tr the left tackle, good player,
402
00:20:08,800 –> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: but three false starts, four holes and struggle at times.
403
00:20:11,800 –> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Elton Jenkins there left guard, the rookie has three holes,
404
00:20:15,280 –> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: has given up a sack and two false starts. Billy
405
00:20:17,720 –> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: Turner the right guard, was the Broncos guy. He got
406
00:20:20,280 –> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: hammered last year here for two sacks by the Chiefs
407
00:20:23,960 –> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: so and Marquess Valda Scantling. You mentioned the NBS. He’s there.
408
00:20:28,800 –> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: They’re good players, they’re really good players. But I’m telling you,
409
00:20:32,640 –> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: if you rally, you have a chance to win this game.
410
00:20:36,240 –> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that’s kind of the theme of what we’re
411
00:20:37,720 –> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: trying to say, or this isn’t a game that’s impossible,
412
00:20:39,680 –> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: Like you got no shot. I don’t care whose quarterbacking,
413
00:20:42,640 –> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: you couldn’t win this game. And we heard the scenario before,
414
00:20:45,200 –> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: right in two thousand and eleven, we heard the same
415
00:20:47,080 –> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: scenario right the Vaults coming in and they’re undefeated and
416
00:20:54,119 –> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: they got the great winning street there. They’re the you know,
417
00:20:56,680 –> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: the top team in the NFC Super Bowl bound, and
418
00:21:00,560 –> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: we were just the lonely Chiefs and our team rose up,
419
00:21:03,760 –> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: they rose up one of the greatest victories here in
420
00:21:06,040 –> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: Arrowhead I’ve seen over the last decade to turn around
421
00:21:09,440 –> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: and take that game. And we rallied behind who at
422
00:21:12,320 –> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: quarterback Kyle Orton kyl and his number was number eight.
423
00:21:19,720 –> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: If Matt has to play, might be fifteen. But if
424
00:21:22,359 –> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: Matt has to play, his number is number eighty eight.
425
00:21:25,400 –> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Now there’s more common, but that’s going you have to
426
00:21:27,760 –> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: wait for it till Sunday morning or Sunday night when
427
00:21:29,840 –> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 1: we run the show before the game. You n bjre
428
00:21:32,400 –> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: just got to pay attention to my segment now because
429
00:21:35,080 –> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: you hit on something. But three of the most improbable
430
00:21:38,200 –> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: victories in Chief’s history, three came against this Packer team,
431
00:21:42,560 –> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: and you only plan them every four years. Because in
432
00:21:46,080 –> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: all three cases it was what we’re talking about with
433
00:21:49,160 –> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: the theme of this podcast. It was a rally in
434
00:21:52,000 –> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: all three phases. There are forgotten plays in all three
435
00:21:55,720 –> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: of those games, and I’m going to talk about but
436
00:21:58,000 –> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: to your point, Tom Bahali three sacks in that game,
437
00:22:01,119 –> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: it was Aaron Rodgers that was quarterback in it was
438
00:22:03,800 –> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: the backup cat. It was Aaron Rodgers. It wasn’t like
439
00:22:06,320 –> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: Matt Flynn or one of those guys. And the fact
440
00:22:08,600 –> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: that they were thirteen to no. They had won nineteen
441
00:22:11,320 –> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: straight games, they were the Super Bowl champions, and the
442
00:22:13,840 –> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: Chiefs I think had a point ooo three chance of win. Okay,
443
00:22:18,320 –> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: So here you go to Sunday night and so rally passed,
444
00:22:22,960 –> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: Rally present, Rally future. But I also think too that
445
00:22:27,520 –> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: there’s just some things being put in place because you’re
446
00:22:30,359 –> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: going to start to get guys back here off this
447
00:22:32,320 –> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: injured list, and when you do, it’s going to be
448
00:22:35,240 –> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: like working out scar tissue you’re going to be ready
449
00:22:39,520 –> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: to build and be a better team going in the
450
00:22:41,480 –> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: last two months of the season. To me, yeah, and
451
00:22:43,760 –> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, we’re gonna talk about they got to
452
00:22:45,520 –> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: figure it out, right, they got to figure out a
453
00:22:47,440 –> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: way to get this win. We’re not worried about. Well,
454
00:22:50,480 –> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: let’s go there now. Fourth quarter. Here we are, fourth
455
00:22:53,040 –> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: quarter and are defending the Kingdom. Rally version and a
456
00:22:56,000 –> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: reminder our whole podcast network brought to you by three
457
00:22:58,680 –> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: sixty von get made right here in as a city.
458
00:23:00,520 –> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: Here we go. Now we’ve got to figure it out.
459
00:23:02,240 –> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter crunch time Rogers one of the best fourth
460
00:23:04,920 –> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: quarter quarterbacks in the history of the game. We’re saying,
461
00:23:07,480 –> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have a chance. How do you figure it out? Now?
462
00:23:10,600 –> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: You said, these guys come out of injury. We got
463
00:23:12,840 –> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: Fisher coming back, we got Chris Jones coming back. Maybe
464
00:23:16,320 –> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: it’s a healthy Sammy Watkins coming back on offense. Um,
465
00:23:19,240 –> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: guys are just getting back into the fold, getting back
466
00:23:21,720 –> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: so we can be full strength. You want to see
467
00:23:24,359 –> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: what the team has, Let’s see it. Let’s see full strength.
468
00:23:26,680 –> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: Let our full strength team as the Chiefs go against
469
00:23:29,119 –> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: the full strength team of the Packers, and let’s battle
470
00:23:31,280 –> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: it out to see who is one of the most
471
00:23:34,880 –> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: fear teams in the NFL this year, and however the
472
00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: score boll have it all works out, well, I’m confident
473
00:23:41,160 –> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: we’ll walk away feeling like we can hold our heads
474
00:23:43,640 –> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: up and that our team has gonna battle like no
475
00:23:45,720 –> 00:23:48,679
Speaker 1: other come Sunday night here in Narrowhead Stadium. And that
476
00:23:49,080 –> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: tell you that’s got a greater good to it. The
477
00:23:51,880 –> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: other thing is when you think about the injuries and
478
00:23:54,119 –> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: the guy is coming back potentially, you have to think
479
00:23:57,640 –> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: about it. It has been since the first couple series
480
00:24:00,320 –> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville game in Week one, since all these
481
00:24:03,400 –> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: guys have been back together. Tyreek went out really early
482
00:24:05,960 –> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, Fisher goes out in the first
483
00:24:08,359 –> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: series of the Oakland game in Week two, So those
484
00:24:11,080 –> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: two haven’t really been together since like the first couple
485
00:24:13,600 –> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 1: snaps of the entire season then and then Watkins went out.
486
00:24:17,280 –> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, there hasn’t been all of the pieces fit
487
00:24:20,119 –> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: together since they ran on the field in Jacksonville. And
488
00:24:22,440 –> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: my point is you’re getting back to that point where
489
00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 1: they’re gonna be back, and that’s when this team becomes
490
00:24:28,440 –> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: to me, very very dangerous in trying to figure out
491
00:24:31,280 –> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: the near future and the long term future or the
492
00:24:33,800 –> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter is definitely the most important quart to any game.
493
00:24:36,040 –> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: That’s when you win a game. Rights those who penalize
494
00:24:39,280 –> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: penalties and touchdowns are magnified because that’s that dictates what’s
495
00:24:43,359 –> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 1: going to be the final score the game. The same
496
00:24:45,359 –> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: thing happens in the football season. You want to start fast,
497
00:24:48,000 –> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: you want to get out to a good league. You
498
00:24:49,240 –> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: want to get out hopefully you can lead your division,
499
00:24:52,680 –> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: have some divisional wins. But in the meed of the season,
500
00:24:55,480 –> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the season, you’re gonna face some really
501
00:24:57,240 –> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: tough opponents and you want to match up again those
502
00:25:00,320 –> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: guys and and really get a guy’s best shot. You
503
00:25:02,640 –> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: want to you want to know what it’s gonna be
504
00:25:04,200 –> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: like going against the NFC teams. Um, we got we
505
00:25:06,960 –> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: got the Packers coming into town. Then we got the
506
00:25:08,880 –> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Both of those teams, the Vikings running game. Uh,
507
00:25:14,560 –> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota has a great defense. UM. Green Bays defense. We
508
00:25:17,840 –> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: haven’t gaven him any love, but they’ve been one of
509
00:25:19,560 –> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: the surprises of the year so far, the way they’ve
510
00:25:22,760 –> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: been getting after the ball on defense. So, UM, we
511
00:25:25,440 –> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: got a great test coming up this Sunday and I
512
00:25:28,359 –> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: expect our guys to really react and respond with the
513
00:25:31,800 –> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: championship effort as we close out uh this rally edition
514
00:25:36,240 –> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom. One more area I want to
515
00:25:38,359 –> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: go over with you, and the deals with the Packer
516
00:25:39,800 –> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: offense against the Chiefs defense, and it deals with our
517
00:25:42,000 –> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: fourth quarter of figuring it out. One of the things
518
00:25:44,920 –> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: that I’ve seen Aaron Rodgers do for years is a
519
00:25:46,840 –> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: favorite Brady trick, a favorite Peyton Manning trick. He gets
520
00:25:51,000 –> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 1: you his personnel on the field where you have to
521
00:25:54,240 –> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: match the personnel that he wants you to have on
522
00:25:57,119 –> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: the field. For example, this fullback I loved him at
523
00:25:59,600 –> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 1: Northwest Dan Vitality. He’s now had three twenty plus catches.
524
00:26:03,240 –> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: They can go big fullback and a tailback halfback if
525
00:26:07,080 –> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: you will, and a tian In and Graham. That means
526
00:26:09,720 –> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: you have to go big. What does Rogers do? If
527
00:26:12,720 –> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: he likes you in that, he’ll keep you in that.
528
00:26:15,560 –> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: Then he goes to tempo. And now all of a sudden,
529
00:26:18,200 –> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: you’re on a treadmill that’s going fifteen point zero at
530
00:26:22,040 –> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: ten point er elevation and you cannot slow it down.
531
00:26:25,800 –> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: Figure it out. Yeah, Tempo is tough to do. Especially
532
00:26:28,920 –> 00:26:31,160
Speaker 1: if they do it the entire ball game. You look
533
00:26:31,160 –> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: at the Packers when they started season against the Bears,
534
00:26:33,760 –> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: um that was a game that often struggled to find
535
00:26:35,720 –> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: any kind of consistency except for the one series I
536
00:26:39,320 –> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: think it was a four play series that Aaron Rodgers
537
00:26:41,280 –> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: ends up going to touchdown. That ends up being the
538
00:26:42,800 –> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: difference of the game where they actually went tempo. They
539
00:26:45,720 –> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: sped things up, kept the personnel like you said it,
540
00:26:48,960 –> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: kept the personnel the Bears they want on the field,
541
00:26:51,040 –> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers to control of the offense, audibled and
542
00:26:54,080 –> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: went through the you know, and they scored that That
543
00:26:56,160 –> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: that that series. The rest of the game though, when
544
00:26:58,480 –> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: they have to make plays and and uh play calls
545
00:27:01,160 –> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: and try to make adjustments. So defensively, what I do
546
00:27:04,240 –> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: against the team, or what I think a team should
547
00:27:05,960 –> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: do against any kind of offense that wants to go tempo,
548
00:27:08,520 –> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: is we become the dictator. We out aggressive him. We
549
00:27:12,359 –> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: have more guys up at the line of scrimmage. The
550
00:27:14,960 –> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: thing about tempo, you gotta you gotta set the front,
551
00:27:17,080 –> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: the coverage. You gotta determine who do you want the
552
00:27:20,040 –> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: bigs the block, Who do you want the linebackers the
553
00:27:22,640 –> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: pick up. Well. Defensively, we can make we can make
554
00:27:25,400 –> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: our fronts and coverages look a lot different when you’re
555
00:27:28,119 –> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: not coming out of the huddle. We can put eight
556
00:27:30,000 –> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: guys on the line of scrimmage and dare you to
557
00:27:32,040 –> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: steal pass the ball. We can do some run blitz
558
00:27:34,560 –> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: and there’s a lot of different things we can do
559
00:27:35,920 –> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: from that front and coverage aspect that if you don’t
560
00:27:38,960 –> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: have the coach talking into your ear and you’re at
561
00:27:41,240 –> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: the ball trying to make all the adjustments and the
562
00:27:43,000 –> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: play calls um, there’s only so much a quarterback and
563
00:27:45,800 –> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: see um and he’s not allowing that offensive coordinator to
564
00:27:49,040 –> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: call to play the way he wants to. Hey, sometimes
565
00:27:51,960 –> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: you say you live better three, you die by the three.
566
00:27:54,119 –> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: You live by no tempo, up tempo. Sometimes that can
567
00:27:57,680 –> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: be the cost of your demands. You gave a basketball analogy.
568
00:28:01,520 –> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: I’ve said tempo football is like fast break basketball. You
569
00:28:04,640 –> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: break a fast break, you dunk it, and you’ll kill
570
00:28:07,280 –> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: a fast break. All right, Press defense, I should say
571
00:28:10,320 –> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: you’ll press defense if they’re pressing you same thing. You
572
00:28:13,280 –> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: get a tempo offense. Off it that’s a thirty second possession.
573
00:28:16,000 –> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: You get the ball right back. You can flip a
574
00:28:17,640 –> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: game and take their nards out. Just saying, two key
575
00:28:20,280 –> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: guys to me in this Anthony Hutchins were in the
576
00:28:23,240 –> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: green dot. Make them the calls, right. He’s got to
577
00:28:25,720 –> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: get everybody and switch it up, maybe a little bit
578
00:28:27,760 –> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: because you’re going the treadmills going the other one. Honey Badger,
579
00:28:31,119 –> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew, he’ll figure it out as well if he’s
580
00:28:34,480 –> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: against tempo offense, Just saying, yeah, no, and those are
581
00:28:36,880 –> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: both two veteran guys who we expect can handle that
582
00:28:40,520 –> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: that tempo with the greatest fease on I do expect,
583
00:28:44,640 –> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean pressure bus of pipes. And if we let
584
00:28:48,640 –> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers sit back there and drop back fifteen yards
585
00:28:51,680 –> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: and scan the field and have these deep crosses and
586
00:28:53,800 –> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: double moves going, it doesn’t matter who you have covering
587
00:28:56,400 –> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: the guys, they’re gonna end up being open. But when
588
00:28:58,960 –> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: you get free shot, you got delayed blitz by a linebacker,
589
00:29:02,640 –> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: a guy beating the one on one. Hopefully Christi Jones
590
00:29:05,680 –> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: coming back in being able to beat uh their interior
591
00:29:08,360 –> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: three one on one or Frank Clark coming off the edge.
592
00:29:11,920 –> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: Sometimes that deters a quarterback from one and go tempo,
593
00:29:15,480 –> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: especially when he’s picking himself off off the ground after
594
00:29:18,000 –> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: big sacks. So if you want to if you want
595
00:29:20,000 –> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: to have a solution for tempo, go ahead and sack
596
00:29:22,360 –> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Barbara Shop You’re ready to rally? Oh man,
597
00:29:26,160 –> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: let’s go man, I’m ready to go now it shoulders
598
00:29:28,360 –> 00:29:31,160
