54
00:02:56,760 –> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: and then handling rivalries at any level. I’m put it

55
00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: out there just because it was. It’s a point here.

56
00:03:04,639 –> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: Mississippi Mississippi State Thursday Night Egg Bowl, intense rivalry. Mississippi

57
00:03:10,840 –> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: gets an incredible rally to score it four seconds to

58
00:03:14,320 –> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: go in regulation and a kid does a gesture in

59
00:03:17,400 –> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: the end zone down on all four is acting like

60
00:03:19,480 –> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: he’s urinating like a dog. I’m sure to show up

61
00:03:22,760 –> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: Mississippi State Bulldogs boom penalty, flag, back it up fifteen yards,

62
00:03:27,600 –> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: the dude misses the point after and they lose the game.

63
00:03:31,160 –> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: You have played in rivalries high school, college, and then

64
00:03:34,639 –> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: you start you broke your I mean you got you

65
00:03:37,080 –> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: were weaned in this league, in the NFC East, meaning

66
00:03:40,040 –> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: that’s the Redskins, Cowboys, Redskins, Eagles, Redskins Giants. Yeah, playing

67
00:03:46,920 –> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: with composure, with the intensity of a rivalry, to me,

68
00:03:51,120 –> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: it’s a huge key. And it’s determined Chiefs Raiders games

69
00:03:54,880 –> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: in the past, who can play with intensity and yet

70
00:03:57,520 –> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: keep the composure and stay away from the stupid penalty

71
00:04:00,240 –> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: that can cost you a game. Yeah, it’s just I mean,

72
00:04:02,360 –> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. It kind of starts there. And if

73
00:04:04,840 –> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: there’s a coaching staff, if all you talk about is

74
00:04:07,120 –> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: they hate us, we hate them, rivalry, and then you

75
00:04:10,520 –> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: know the rival between the Raiders and the Chiefs, it

76
00:04:12,640 –> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: is bigger than football, is bigger than like then you

77
00:04:15,960 –> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: you allow the Gays get caught up in that. The

78
00:04:18,320 –> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 1: one thing I know about Andy is each game matters, right,

79
00:04:21,200 –> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: He cares about the games. You can if you want

80
00:04:23,560 –> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: to know which games matters to him, you just look

81
00:04:25,160 –> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: at the practice schedule, look at how he sets up

82
00:04:28,440 –> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: offseason workouts, training camp. There are certain teams, obviously our division,

83
00:04:33,440 –> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: those teams that we practice a little bit more about

84
00:04:36,400 –> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit more preparing for him.

85
00:04:39,040 –> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: We might do a little install for you know, you

86
00:04:41,120 –> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: have an Oakland install, you have a Denver installed, and

87
00:04:44,080 –> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: a Charger install a week when you’re not even playing

88
00:04:47,240 –> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: those guys, because he realized we played those games twice.

89
00:04:51,400 –> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: We play those teams twice each season, and and those

90
00:04:54,480 –> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: are the teams you have to beat to make us

91
00:04:55,960 –> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: the playoff. If you want to direct route to the playoffs,

92
00:04:59,080 –> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: be winning your divis It’s the first and foremost way

93
00:05:01,400 –> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: to the way to get there. Um, you want to

94
00:05:04,120 –> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: win some home games, be tough on the road, play

95
00:05:07,000 –> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: play good football, you know, especially at the end of

96
00:05:09,720 –> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: the year, in the fourth quarter of the season, I

97
00:05:12,680 –> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: mean those last four weeks. But really, if you can

98
00:05:15,440 –> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: dominate your division, which Andy has done almost historically over

99
00:05:19,640 –> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: the last four or five years, if you can dominate

100
00:05:22,920 –> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: your your your division, that is a way to almost

101
00:05:26,120 –> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: guarantee you haven’t shout at the playoffs each year. Yeah,

102
00:05:28,400 –> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: that’s the first box to check. We’re gonna get to

103
00:05:30,320 –> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: more of that of the fourth quarter of this podcast,

104
00:05:32,600 –> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: So you know, hang with us all the way through here.

105
00:05:35,040 –> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: We’re gonna get to more of that in the fourth

106
00:05:37,320 –> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: quarter about how Andy Reider approaches the Oakland Raider rivalry

107
00:05:42,200 –> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit different than let’s say, I’m Alrty

108
00:05:44,279 –> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer in the past or some others, but still with

109
00:05:47,440 –> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: the same intended result. But this rivalry in specific, the

110
00:05:53,320 –> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Raiders Chief rivalry going back to nineteen sixty the AFL

111
00:05:56,240 –> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs dominated early on. Then oh my gosh, those games

112
00:05:59,640 –> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: in the These are some of the most iconic games

113
00:06:02,120 –> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: in pro football history, the last AFL game of all time.

114
00:06:05,480 –> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: You’re involved with the Ambassadors, you know, you’re getting discussions

115
00:06:08,320 –> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: even just you know, setting over a cold one or

116
00:06:11,000 –> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: having dinner and those games come up. They were incredible

117
00:06:15,120 –> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: games and some again you’ll see them on NFL films.

118
00:06:19,520 –> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: But the fact that the Raiders and Chiefs, the level

119
00:06:22,680 –> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: of play, it’s something you’ve always talked about too. If

120
00:06:25,320 –> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: you’re gonna have a rivalry, one team just can’t dominate

121
00:06:28,120 –> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: or doesn’t feel like a rivalry. Yeah, it has to

122
00:06:30,080 –> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: have that pendulum of performance go back and forth. Right,

123
00:06:32,680 –> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders playing really good fighting for the divisional dominance,

124
00:06:35,760 –> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs play really well. Then the Broncos

125
00:06:38,240 –> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: come in and play very well. The Charges had had

126
00:06:41,160 –> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: a couple of years where they were you know, that

127
00:06:43,480 –> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: fourteen and two season always jumps up at you. So

128
00:06:46,680 –> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 1: whoever is the alpha dog in the division kind of

129
00:06:49,480 –> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: passes around and it makes the other teams realize, Hey,

130
00:06:52,360 –> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: if I don’t want to get as we call it,

131
00:06:54,240 –> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: thumped on, if I don’t want to get thrown about

132
00:06:56,520 –> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: the bar when the division, when this season come away,

133
00:06:59,680 –> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: I gotta, you know, pick my game up, and if

134
00:07:01,880 –> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: there’s any game, you got to pick it up and

135
00:07:03,320 –> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: be ready to roll, because you know the other team

136
00:07:05,520 –> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: has a little bit of a little bit of just

137
00:07:07,360 –> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: a little a little softness. They got a little bit

138
00:07:10,160 –> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: of an extra edge on there on that shoulder when

139
00:07:12,640 –> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: it comes to playing you, it’s these divisional games. Um,

140
00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: I you know, played played here with the Chiefs three

141
00:07:18,440 –> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: seasons and every time I lined up against the Raiders

142
00:07:21,360 –> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: it was a dog fight. It came down to the

143
00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: last possession. Um, you know, defense we needed to stop,

144
00:07:26,800 –> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: or the offense we needed one more first day on

145
00:07:28,840 –> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: or you know, a field go at the end of

146
00:07:30,520 –> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: the game. It didn’t matter what our records were going

147
00:07:32,760 –> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: into the season, going into that, that we could playing

148
00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: that that that team during uh during during that game, um,

149
00:07:39,240 –> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: you just you just you found a way to get

150
00:07:40,720 –> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: it done. It didn’t matter up the starting quarterback, backup quarterback.

151
00:07:43,720 –> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: It almost like nothing mattered m until it was time

152
00:07:46,840 –> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: to kick off. And then once it was time to

153
00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: kick off. He has so much intensity, emotion, uh passion. Um.

154
00:07:52,600 –> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: You could feel the crowd and the fans um trying

155
00:07:55,720 –> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: to egging you on because you know, you don’t want

156
00:07:58,680 –> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: to walk around this city and have Raiders fans telling

157
00:08:02,120 –> 00:08:04,679
Speaker 1: your Chiefs fans, we got the best of you. Uh

158
00:08:04,720 –> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: you know we we we we won that game on Sunday.

159
00:08:06,800 –> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. So a lot of the intensities beyond

160
00:08:09,720 –> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: just then actual on the field, it’s it’s it’s culturally

161
00:08:12,840 –> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: in here in the Kingdom. We don’t we don’t want

162
00:08:14,720 –> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: any Raiders fans walking around here thinking that they the best,

163
00:08:18,000 –> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: they got the best of us. Um, even if they

164
00:08:20,680 –> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: don’t win the division, we don’t want them coming back

165
00:08:22,480 –> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: to week uh week thirteen. Uh, we came in and

166
00:08:26,360 –> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: beat at your house and that kind of top. So

167
00:08:28,920 –> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta you do as a player, have

168
00:08:30,800 –> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: an air a little a little bit, a little bit

169
00:08:33,200 –> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: of an edge on your shoulder when it comes to these, uh,

170
00:08:35,440 –> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: these rivalry games. Yeah, and trying to keep this rolling.

171
00:08:38,640 –> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Nine out of ten times the Chiefs have beaten them Raiders,

172
00:08:43,280 –> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: so they’ll try to keep it rolling. But going back

173
00:08:45,160 –> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: into history, you think about Len Dawson getting spared by

174
00:08:47,440 –> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: Ben Davidson, Another’s Taylor coming up trying to protect this quarterback.

175
00:08:50,600 –> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: You think about, uh, the Raiders getting the best to

176
00:08:53,320 –> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in nineteen sixty eight and sixty nine, and

177
00:08:55,520 –> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: the regular season, the Raiders had two regular season wins.

178
00:08:58,040 –> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: The Chiefs got the one that counted the most, the

179
00:09:00,320 –> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: last AFL game played of all time, that set up

180
00:09:03,840 –> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs winning in Super Bowl four. So Chiefs Raiders

181
00:09:07,640 –> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: rivalry history. And now we go to twenty nineteen as

182
00:09:10,280 –> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: we enter the second quarter of our defending the Kingdom.

183
00:09:13,120 –> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: It’s Raiders Week, Baby podcast, and we get into this

184
00:09:17,559 –> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: specific game, this specific rematch Chiefs one twenty eight to

185
00:09:20,960 –> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: ten in Week two that seems like one hundred years ago.

186
00:09:23,760 –> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs defense dealing with the triangle. It’s one

187
00:09:27,440 –> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: thing I’m gonna talk about with Andy Reidon our pregame

188
00:09:29,440 –> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: show and the radio of people who listen to that,

189
00:09:31,760 –> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: and that is the triangle. The Raiders, to me have

190
00:09:34,920 –> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: a really good triangle that in Derek Carr, the runner,

191
00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs who’s making an impact out of rookie out

192
00:09:41,000 –> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: of Alabama, and then a tight end Darren Waller who’s

193
00:09:43,480 –> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: sitting with fifty nine catches and seven hundred yards. That

194
00:09:46,800 –> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: triangle a runner, a mismatch tight end, and a quarterback

195
00:09:50,160 –> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: who leads the NFL right now in third down passer

196
00:09:53,440 –> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: rating presents an issue. Yeah, Derek Carr has been a

197
00:09:56,800 –> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: guy thing. He’s been thrown kind of under the bus,

198
00:09:59,280 –> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: like waits often for something, most of time not even

199
00:10:02,200 –> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: under his control. But if you go back and look

200
00:10:05,400 –> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: at his stats weekend and week out, if you want

201
00:10:07,880 –> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can throw the ball for two seventy

202
00:10:09,840 –> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: five two touchdowns in the pick and that’s the gage

203
00:10:13,559 –> 00:10:16,839
Speaker 1: you’re using of a good outing, then more times and

204
00:10:16,920 –> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: not he’ll give you that. It’s just late. You know,

205
00:10:19,360 –> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: some games they’re they’re too far out of it and

206
00:10:21,480 –> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: he’s being forced to pass um more than he’s comfortable

207
00:10:25,280 –> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: or forced to kind of put the team on his

208
00:10:26,920 –> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: shoulder and make plays when it’s not there. Uh. And

209
00:10:29,760 –> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: then he just hasn’t rolled to those occasions late, you know,

210
00:10:33,360 –> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: often in his career. But if I looked at you know,

211
00:10:36,559 –> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: like I said, this season is a whole I think

212
00:10:38,760 –> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: he had. He’s had really two bad games of the

213
00:10:41,640 –> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: eleven ball games they played, So that mean that’s not

214
00:10:43,559 –> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: really a bad clicking. Like you said, his third dawn

215
00:10:45,480 –> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: of Fishy is phenomenal. It’s just that, you know, in

216
00:10:48,280 –> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: those normal days in the first and second downs, they’re

217
00:10:50,600 –> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: not getting enough chunk plays uh to set them up

218
00:10:53,400 –> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: for manageable third downs. But he’s been found in a

219
00:10:57,240 –> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: way to steal uh, step up and show them he

220
00:11:00,120 –> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: has the leadership abilities, he has the moxie to be

221
00:11:03,520 –> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback. He’s always had the armed talent, um, and

222
00:11:06,760 –> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: now they’re just surrounding him with a few weapons. Um.

223
00:11:09,320 –> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: You know, drafting Jacobs U with the with the first

224
00:11:12,760 –> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: with their first round pickers running back, you knew he

225
00:11:14,559 –> 00:11:16,319
Speaker 1: was gonna get some action early on, and he showed

226
00:11:16,400 –> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: to be um, you know, proven and tested being a

227
00:11:19,520 –> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: good running back in the league. And then the Darren

228
00:11:21,600 –> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: Waller heare, man, he’s kind of he’s fought through some things.

229
00:11:24,200 –> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: He’s battled some some issues, some demons, but he’s kind

230
00:11:27,320 –> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: of he’s put his passion in his purpose in the

231
00:11:29,000 –> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: right place and he’s come out this season and he’s

232
00:11:31,280 –> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: focused on actually being a difference maker and being there

233
00:11:34,040 –> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: for his quarterback. UM. And there’s almost no situation where

234
00:11:37,400 –> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: Derek car should feel bad throwing it up to him,

235
00:11:39,200 –> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: because that guy’s been able to make some fantastic grabs

236
00:11:43,040 –> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: whenever needed. And he can play in the slot. He’ll

237
00:11:45,360 –> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 1: play an acts and so he’s he’s a He’s like Kelsey.

238
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: He can move around and play every receiver slot and

239
00:11:50,720 –> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: run every receiver route. UH. Car though, is sick of

240
00:11:54,080 –> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: answering about losing at Arrowhead. He’s owe five at Arrowhead. Uh.

241
00:11:57,920 –> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: If you look at his season this year, going back

242
00:11:59,640 –> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: to the third down prowess, he’s got fifteen touchdowns and

243
00:12:02,679 –> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: six picks on third down. Derek Carr has eleven touchdowns

244
00:12:06,280 –> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: of his fifteen on third down and only one interception,

245
00:12:09,160 –> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: and his passer rating is the best in the league

246
00:12:11,080 –> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: on third down in the NFL. But at Arrowhead, wow

247
00:12:14,720 –> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: oh and five. Only three touchdowns in those five games,

248
00:12:17,559 –> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: passing five interceptions, here’s the other big deal. He has

249
00:12:20,920 –> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: been sacked nine times in the last three games at Arrowhead,

250
00:12:24,520 –> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: three in each game, and it’s just been a nightmare

251
00:12:28,040 –> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: for him here. He’s sick of talking about it. I

252
00:12:30,040 –> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: keep asking him about it. But a chance of trying

253
00:12:33,240 –> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: to pressure him and try to get him into some

254
00:12:35,040 –> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: mistakes and to gate the triangle that the Raiders bring

255
00:12:37,440 –> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 1: into this game. Yeah, we definitely have to have an

256
00:12:39,640 –> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: air of starting fast on defense, bringing that pressure, having

257
00:12:43,120 –> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: out front four be relentless getting him seeing like as

258
00:12:46,320 –> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: we heard Donald saying a few weeks ago, seeing ghosts

259
00:12:49,040 –> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: feeling pressure even when it’s not. They’re feeling the need

260
00:12:51,360 –> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: to step up without the pocket, even when in the

261
00:12:53,880 –> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: pocket that still has an integrity, and that points to

262
00:12:56,679 –> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: their weakness. I mean the weakness of their team on offense.

263
00:12:59,480 –> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: Is there often blunt Um, They don’t. They don’t have

264
00:13:02,320 –> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: heavy anchors, they don’t they don’t set really uh solid

265
00:13:06,400 –> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: pockets for him to be in. So he’s always on

266
00:13:08,720 –> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: the move. He is, he always has to keep his

267
00:13:10,880 –> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: feet dancing. Um. But he’s a young mobile quarterback. He

268
00:13:14,480 –> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: can make all the throws on the run. Um. So

269
00:13:16,920 –> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: you just have to be aware of that. Play being

270
00:13:19,120 –> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: extended and then holding your coverage throughout the damn whether

271
00:13:23,080 –> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: it’s three, four or five seconds, throughout the damn, holding

272
00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: onto the integrity of your coverage and allow those those

273
00:13:28,320 –> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: those guys trying to pursue a car to get there. Um.

274
00:13:32,000 –> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: And I think our off our defensive line is gonna

275
00:13:34,000 –> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: do a great job against their front five. Hey, they

276
00:13:36,760 –> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: got a guy who used to be here, right, this

277
00:13:38,000 –> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: center used to be here, and we know that the

278
00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: one thing he doesn’t have is he doesn’t have a

279
00:13:43,120 –> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: heavy anchor. He doesn’t like to lift low about it.

280
00:13:45,040 –> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: He’s not a guy who’s, uh, you know, one of

281
00:13:47,440 –> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: those fire Hadran type centers. He’s kind of lightening in

282
00:13:50,600 –> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: the rear. And so if we do some things on

283
00:13:53,160 –> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: that guy, um, I think we can get Hutson off

284
00:13:55,600 –> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: his off his mark. And you know, when when he

285
00:13:57,880 –> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: gets off his mark, he starts playing a little dirty.

286
00:13:59,559 –> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: And that’s think that’s why the raiderslack him, because he

287
00:14:01,240 –> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: plays a little dirty. But then that’s when we have

288
00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: to have that be able to rise above what’s going

289
00:14:07,440 –> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: on on the field, rise above those dirtiness and those

290
00:14:09,720 –> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: cheap shots, and realize we have to win this ball game.

291
00:14:13,280 –> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: Focus should be stays on winning the ball game over

292
00:14:16,920 –> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: any personal agendas. Yeah. And Rodney Hudson four years with

293
00:14:20,880 –> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City thirty five starts his best. That we’re smart too.

294
00:14:24,920 –> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: He can move, I mean he can move around screens

295
00:14:27,160 –> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: and the like. But you brought up the penalties again

296
00:14:30,080 –> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: a Raiders staple. Ninety two penalties this year called against

297
00:14:33,080 –> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders, accepted against him. There’s only three teams that

298
00:14:36,280 –> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: have more. You mentioned something though, before we get we

299
00:14:39,360 –> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: close in on halftime of this edition of Defending the

300
00:14:41,720 –> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: Kingdom podcasts, this one entitled It’s Raiders Week, Baby, Okay

301
00:14:46,440 –> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: is starting fast on defense. It’s something I’m gonna ask

302
00:14:49,720 –> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: Andy read about two in our pregame show on Sunday.

303
00:14:52,400 –> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: Is that we hear about starting fest? We always think offense. Yeah, offense,

304
00:14:56,880 –> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: start fast, start fest, playfest, get the lead, get the lead.

305
00:14:59,560 –> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: I think a the Vikings game this year for the Chiefs.

306
00:15:02,040 –> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: They started fast in that game, they got the Vikings

307
00:15:04,240 –> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: off the field trying to get three and outs, get

308
00:15:06,920 –> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: the field flipped right away. If you have to defend

309
00:15:09,320 –> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: first possession, and the Chiefs or thirtieth in the league.

310
00:15:11,920 –> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: They have allowed now thirty five points. I think on

311
00:15:14,200 –> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: first possessions allowed, So starting fast on defense and setting

312
00:15:18,800 –> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: the tone where you dictate the terms of the game

313
00:15:21,080 –> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: to the Raiders, not the vice versa. Yeah, you know

314
00:15:23,720 –> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: it comes from you know play play calling sometimes has

315
00:15:26,240 –> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: a lot to dictate that because you don’t want to

316
00:15:28,480 –> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: be so aggressive. You know, we saw games last night

317
00:15:31,080 –> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: right with the Detroit Lions and the the in the

318
00:15:34,880 –> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Bears where it seems like the Bears where it came

319
00:15:37,280 –> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: out so excited after they got that lead and they

320
00:15:39,840 –> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: end up the first pass Detroit going with a double

321
00:15:41,800 –> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: moving going over the top. So you want to prevent

322
00:15:44,080 –> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: giving a touchdown away because you’re trying to be so

323
00:15:46,320 –> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: aggressive and you’re starting to start so fast that you’re

324
00:15:48,840 –> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: not being disciplined. But you definitely don’t want to be

325
00:15:52,040 –> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: on your heels. You don’t want to be um just

326
00:15:54,560 –> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: just playing zones, letting the quarterback get comfortable making his

327
00:15:58,360 –> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: reads and throws, allowing a running game to get started,

328
00:16:01,440 –> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, five six yards to carry on first and

329
00:16:03,400 –> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: second down. Um, you want to come out with a

330
00:16:06,760 –> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: solid intention of really being a stone wall. Um, no

331
00:16:10,440 –> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: one you’re gonna get up to feel on that first

332
00:16:11,920 –> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: three and out. It starts with that first play, right

333
00:16:14,520 –> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: that first snap. Um being all over that quarterback, even

334
00:16:17,760 –> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: if he gets the ball off, you want to be

335
00:16:19,280 –> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: close enough where you can pat him on the butt

336
00:16:20,840 –> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: or run by him and yell at him so he knows, hey,

337
00:16:23,160 –> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: I’m close to getting to you. Don’t don’t You’re not

338
00:16:25,840 –> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: back here. You’re not comfortable. You shouldn’t feel you shouldn’t

339
00:16:28,600 –> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: feel any kind of security being back here because I’m humming,

340
00:16:31,560 –> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: I’m coming for you. Whether we bring pressure or not.

341
00:16:34,680 –> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: That’s the kind of atmosphere that in our crowd has

342
00:16:38,840 –> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot to do with it. Ye when you bring

343
00:16:40,400 –> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: that crowd noise and the ball is hike um. When

344
00:16:43,640 –> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: they hear that, that crowd noise heightening and it’s kind

345
00:16:46,800 –> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: of like a crescindo when they hear everything starting to

346
00:16:49,680 –> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: rise and peek. They As a quarterback, you start feeling

347
00:16:52,840 –> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: there must be somebody coming close to me. Somebody’s almost

348
00:16:54,720 –> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: about to get me. The crowd is starting to roar,

349
00:16:56,720 –> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: So sometimes that makes you speed up your own clock.

350
00:17:00,040 –> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: The one thing we don’t want we don’t want Derek

351
00:17:01,960 –> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: car feeling comfortable here at Arrow here. We want him

352
00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: to feel pressured, feel like he has to release the

353
00:17:08,080 –> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: ball before he’s ready. And defensively, we can do some

354
00:17:11,119 –> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: things when it comes to rerouting receivers, being really physical

355
00:17:14,600 –> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: against the tight end and running backs, and then being

356
00:17:17,880 –> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, being a penetrating defense like we’ve been, like

357
00:17:20,560 –> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: you said, since that Minnesota game, we’ve been been been

358
00:17:24,200 –> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: very good at penetrating the pocket, being gap sound, and

359
00:17:29,040 –> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: defending the run and pass equally effective. Oakland second in

360
00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: the league average length of scoring drives on the Atlanta

361
00:17:35,760 –> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: is better, so they can hang on to the ball

362
00:17:37,760 –> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: and that would probably be their recipe in this game.

363
00:17:40,560 –> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: All Right, it’s halftime of this Defending the Kingdom podcast

364
00:17:44,119 –> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: are This is one titled It’s Raiders Week. Baby, looking

365
00:17:47,840 –> 00:17:51,120

Speaker 1: in on this specific game on Sunday and again our

367

369
00:18:00,080 –> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: twelve minutes in the NFL. You’re your thing, biological fluid

370
00:18:03,880 –> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: gets get an orange. You gotta man, we gotta get

371
00:18:06,200 –> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: we have to shoot you up first. Hear of this

372
00:18:08,760 –> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 1: sickness you got or what? But here we go one second?

373
00:18:12,400 –> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: There you go? Now it’s the third quarter, so you’re ready. Yeah,

374
00:18:15,160 –> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: I’m ready, bro, you’re fighting through it. Man, it’s barbershop.

375
00:18:19,080 –> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: The next one deals with the other side of the ball,

376
00:18:21,240 –> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: and that is the Oakland If you’re looking at the way,

377
00:18:24,160 –> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: how can Oakland win this game? They’re defensive line and

378
00:18:27,680 –> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: young defensive front, and this is a group something I

379
00:18:31,400 –> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: haven’t seen very much in football at any level. They’re

380
00:18:34,119 –> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: twenty six sacks. This defensive front for Oakland has all

381
00:18:38,240 –> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: of them, like no linebacker sacks and I can see

382
00:18:41,040 –> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: no dB sacks. No send the hey, send the slot

383
00:18:43,840 –> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: corner and he gets a sack. It’s the front specifically

384
00:18:47,400 –> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: due named Max Crosby, a rookie out of Eastern Michigan.

385
00:18:49,960 –> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: He’s got seven and a half sacks. He’s a close

386
00:18:51,800 –> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: friend of Andrew Wiley on the Chiefs offensive line. But

387
00:18:55,080 –> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: it leads me to start with the offensive line. They

388
00:18:58,040 –> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: were looking around the huddle in the game in Mexico Shitty,

389
00:19:00,840 –> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: going hey, the bands back together. Now you can see

390
00:19:05,680 –> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: parts of that happen in the game against the Chargers

391
00:19:07,720 –> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: and the win of Mexico Shitty. But what about having

392
00:19:10,040 –> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: some continuity on the offensive line, especially against this young

393
00:19:13,600 –> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: defensive in front of Oakland. Yeah, every offensive line it

394
00:19:16,280 –> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: comes about trust, communication, right, those two things. Every every effective,

395
00:19:20,680 –> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: every elite offensive line in the league, they do a

396
00:19:23,480 –> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 1: great job of communicating, uh, pre pre snap adjustments, UM pickups, UM,

397
00:19:29,200 –> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: so they can pick up all the d line stunts

398
00:19:31,119 –> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: and anything like that. UM. And you know this team,

399
00:19:33,720 –> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: you know we we we’ve played this team before. It’s

400
00:19:36,040 –> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: that same base Cincinnati UM style of defense. They don’t

401
00:19:39,680 –> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: bring a lot of extra pressure. They don’t bring cornerbacks

402
00:19:41,960 –> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: and safeties. They let their front four angle and do

403
00:19:45,880 –> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: t e stunts and and and shifts and motions UM

404
00:19:49,560 –> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: with the backers UM to try to get your count off.

405
00:19:52,080 –> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: And then they allowed their front four to try to

406
00:19:53,600 –> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: go beat you man on man. UM. They’ve drafted some

407
00:19:56,160 –> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: studs up there. You already mentioned Max Crosby, but also

408
00:20:00,440 –> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: um Colin Farrell from Clemson. UM, so they got some

409
00:20:02,880 –> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: guys up there they can really go hunt. And we

410
00:20:04,960 –> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: know Crossby. I mean he kind of reminds you of

411
00:20:06,680 –> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: that Jared Jared Allen type body frame right, long, UM,

412
00:20:11,880 –> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: real long arms, create separation, great motor. He’s gonna continue

413
00:20:15,760 –> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: to come after you, and he’s gonna get most of

414
00:20:17,880 –> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: his sacks and pressures just off of outworking you. And

415
00:20:20,960 –> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: as an old line, that’s what you like you do.

416
00:20:23,040 –> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: I mean, these uber talented guys just have amazing speed

417
00:20:26,640 –> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: off the edge and that kind of thing. Uh, Davon

418
00:20:29,400 –> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 1: Miller’s the max. Those type of pass rushers either you

419
00:20:35,720 –> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: get either you get them or you don’t they I

420
00:20:37,280 –> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: mean you take a shot of you, you miss them

421
00:20:39,119 –> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: and they get to the sack. But the guys to

422
00:20:41,000 –> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: try to outwork you, Um, those are guys you gotta

423
00:20:43,600 –> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: kind of you know, you bring your lunch pail of lunch, um,

424
00:20:46,920 –> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 1: and you gotta go to work. You gotta really like

425
00:20:48,960 –> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: lean on this guy all game. Loan, you gotta try

426
00:20:51,600 –> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 1: to uh just work on him and and and try

427
00:20:54,960 –> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: to create a situation where his level of condition and

428
00:20:59,560 –> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: gets it’s questioned some long drives. Is he gonna tap

429
00:21:03,359 –> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: himself out? You want to make this a twelve round

430
00:21:06,240 –> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: match against this defensive line because they’re young, and they’re aggressive,

431
00:21:11,200 –> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: Art and Key and all those guys, they’re gonna kind

432
00:21:12,880 –> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: of try to keep coming, keep coming, keep coming, and

433
00:21:15,440 –> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: you gotta just keep fighting as the offensive line is

434
00:21:17,480 –> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: keep punching, keep punching. Um. And I’m so glad to

435
00:21:20,480 –> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: wear at home because you have all the crowd to

436
00:21:22,680 –> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 1: see if Red behind you cheering you on, and and

437
00:21:25,280 –> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: just keep moving, motivating you. And we just gotta keep

438
00:21:27,920 –> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: pounding these guys. Um, you know, the weather shouldn’t be

439
00:21:30,240 –> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: a concern, but we were are supposed to be windy

440
00:21:32,119 –> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: and cold. Sometimes that leads more to the ground game. So, um,

441
00:21:36,000 –> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: if we gotta just turn this into a ground and

442
00:21:37,880 –> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 1: pound game, all offensive line I think stands up really

443
00:21:42,000 –> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: well against their young guys. I think we can move

444
00:21:44,600 –> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: that line of scrimmage a few yards in their direction

445
00:21:47,760 –> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 1: and keep our running backs clean. Yeah, and to have

446
00:21:50,240 –> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: a quarterback that can negate the win and the passion game.

447
00:21:52,640 –> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is the guy. Oh his his arm is

448
00:21:55,119 –> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: so strong. But this this DEFENSI in front of Oakland

449
00:21:58,480 –> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: reminds me talking about the history rivalry. To me, they’re

450
00:22:01,560 –> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of a throwback. Cleland Farrell is one

451
00:22:04,080 –> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: of the It reminds me of the throwback raider guys

452
00:22:06,040 –> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: of the sixties. And Max Crosby be the same way,

453
00:22:08,040 –> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: the Ben Davidson types. But they’re for real. Now. If

454
00:22:12,960 –> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: you get so many times, will you and I’ll talk

455
00:22:15,760 –> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: about it. I’ll talk about one click of time. If

456
00:22:18,320 –> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: you just give Patrick Mahomes one click of time, one

457
00:22:21,480 –> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: thousand one one click, two clicks boom, what can happen.

458
00:22:26,240 –> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Let’s just look at this. Oakland is the worst team

459
00:22:29,800 –> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: in the league. They have allowed fifty five twenty yard

460
00:22:33,240 –> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: passes or more twenty plus passes fifty five. The Chiefs

461
00:22:38,200 –> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: have been at the top of that list on the

462
00:22:40,320 –> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 1: offensive side all year long. Now they’ve slipped a little

463
00:22:44,160 –> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: bit through third with forty seven twenty plus passes, but

464
00:22:47,680 –> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: they got fifty six total twenty plus plays. The point

465
00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: is one more click of time. If there’s anything that

466
00:22:53,760 –> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: jumped off the tape of me with the Jets game

467
00:22:56,440 –> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: and blown out Oakland last week was when either they

468
00:22:58,880 –> 00:23:00,919
Speaker 1: ran a rub in the middle or they hit the

469
00:23:00,960 –> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: second level of the third level. It was like over

470
00:23:03,760 –> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: like a twelve to fifteen yard play became forty or

471
00:23:07,880 –> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: they were just running by them. So if you what

472
00:23:10,280 –> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: about attacking second and third level. Even if I run

473
00:23:13,359 –> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: to the second level, I can get to the third

474
00:23:15,320 –> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: level and create a big play even something that’s designed

475
00:23:18,359 –> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: not to throw at forty yards down there. Yeah, the

476
00:23:20,000 –> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: West Coast offense is amazing at getting the ball into

477
00:23:23,320 –> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: the receiver’s hands quick get them to the second and

478
00:23:25,200 –> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: third level. What you see about the Raiders is there.

479
00:23:28,560 –> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: You know, they want to challenge you up front, they

480
00:23:30,080 –> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: want to reroute you, but they definitely have never you know,

481
00:23:33,359 –> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: they haven’t proven this this year. They have the personnel

482
00:23:36,359 –> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: they can stay with you through the damn And then

483
00:23:38,480 –> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: what I say is that when you line up as

484
00:23:40,040 –> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: a secondary guy, you might have inside leverage and for

485
00:23:43,080 –> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: a few steps, for the first five or six steps

486
00:23:45,760 –> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: up the route, you’re able to remain in that leverage.

487
00:23:48,720 –> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: But what I’ve seen from the Raiders defense is even

488
00:23:50,960 –> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: when they got inside leverage and they try to remain

489
00:23:52,880 –> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: in that that saying relationship to receiver, the receivers are

490
00:23:56,520 –> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: just more athletic than they are. They’re able, they have

491
00:23:58,480 –> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: more top end speed, they’re fast, Uh, they’re more elusive.

492
00:24:01,760 –> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: So sometimes the jams don’t work when you do rubs

493
00:24:05,000 –> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: and you do stack releases. Uh, sometimes they get caught

494
00:24:08,119 –> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: out of out of position and leaving free runners and

495
00:24:11,440 –> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: and free guys throughout the secondary. So giving Pat mahomes

496
00:24:15,040 –> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: and just like you said, another little second, half second

497
00:24:18,080 –> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: to watch their secondary unfold, it should be very clear, um,

498
00:24:23,119 –> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: who’s the receiver that that develops him and comes it

499
00:24:27,160 –> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: comes to target, and we know Pat has the arm

500
00:24:29,400 –> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: that it doesn’t take much for him to be able

501
00:24:31,520 –> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: to get the ball anywhere to be attacked. You know,

502
00:24:34,359 –> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: the three deep zones or the four underneath zones. Um,

503
00:24:38,720 –> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: everything is on the table with this guy. And so

504
00:24:40,960 –> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: the thing that a secondary like the Raiders that are

505
00:24:43,359 –> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: kind of been leading the league at giving up these

506
00:24:45,880 –> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: big twenty plus yard plays, not all of them has

507
00:24:48,560 –> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: been bombs, like you said, It’s been slants that people

508
00:24:50,400 –> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: have just taken for twenty yards. It’s been curl routes

509
00:24:52,920 –> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: because of a mistackle that the guys turn up the sideline. Um. So,

510
00:24:57,280 –> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: just from a secondary standpoint, and when when I’m talking

511
00:25:00,000 –> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: about the secondary, sometimes you do include these linebackers in

512
00:25:03,000 –> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: Nicol and Dame coverages. They just haven’t been very good.

513
00:25:05,680 –> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: It’s staying improper relations to receivers and not only make

514
00:25:09,520 –> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: a play on the ball, but then once you even

515
00:25:11,520 –> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: catch the ball to be in a proper position to

516
00:25:13,680 –> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: bring you down for a tackle. He had illustrate your

517
00:25:16,400 –> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: point to Marcus Robinson. His best game of his career

518
00:25:19,560 –> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: was Week two against Oakland at seven catch one hundred

519
00:25:22,320 –> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: and seventy two yard game for him McCole Hardman a

520
00:25:25,280 –> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: little bit of a coming out party for him there

521
00:25:27,600 –> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: because he had his first career touchdown on a forty

522
00:25:29,760 –> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: three yarder. But to your point, in both of those cases,

523
00:25:32,920 –> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: same thing. Either through to the third level, boom, big play,

524
00:25:36,440 –> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: hit the second level and just outrun them, which is

525
00:25:38,880 –> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 1: what the Jets did last week. Again, this is are

526
00:25:41,640 –> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom Thanksgiving. Addition, it’s Raiders Week, baby podcast

527
00:25:45,440 –> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: to get you ready for this game. Chiems win this game.

528
00:25:48,560 –> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: They can get some distance now in the division and

529
00:25:52,080 –> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: basically have two game lead with the tiebreaker over the Raiders,

530
00:25:55,400 –> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: but just four games to go. That segues in two

531
00:25:58,720 –> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: our fourth quarter of this podcast and it deals with

532
00:26:02,880 –> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: something we touched on at the beginning of the podcast,

533
00:26:06,160 –> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: but that is Gruden versus read here reads a coach

534
00:26:10,359 –> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: reads approach. Yes, the Raiders are. It’s not just about

535
00:26:15,520 –> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: Raiders Week, It’s about Division football again. Chiefs win this game.

536
00:26:19,960 –> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: There will be twenty five and three against the Division

537
00:26:22,320 –> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: in the past five years. Andy Reid, when he was

538
00:26:24,840 –> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: coaching the Eagles fourteen years with the Eagles won the

539
00:26:27,560 –> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 1: NFC East. You played in that division. He played in

540
00:26:30,359 –> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: both these divisions that he wanted eight times. You alluded

541
00:26:34,119 –> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: to this at the beginning of the podcast. Andy Reid

542
00:26:37,080 –> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: spends time all year long, all twelve months, maybe not

543
00:26:41,560 –> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: three sixty five on everybody, but he thinks about him.

544
00:26:44,600 –> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: The emphasis on winning division games. For Andy Reid, this

545
00:26:47,880 –> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 1: is much about winning the division, beating a division opponent

546
00:26:51,680 –> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: as is beating the Raiders. Definitely. I mean, you gotta

547
00:26:53,800 –> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: you have to look at the division inside. What do

548
00:26:56,160 –> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: they do well as a division. If you’re in a

549
00:26:58,440 –> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: division has a bunch of ground game uh grinders, ground

550
00:27:02,359 –> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: and pound, and they don’t attack the field vertically, then

551
00:27:05,640 –> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 1: then you using your resources to go get a bunch

552
00:27:08,440 –> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: of cornerbacks as opposed to run stopping linebackers would be.

553
00:27:12,359 –> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: You know you’re fighting your You’re fighting yourself up here

554
00:27:14,400 –> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: right there. Um, So you have to, even from a

555
00:27:16,359 –> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: personnel standpoint, you look at your division. You look at

556
00:27:19,080 –> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: what things each of these three other teams do well,

557
00:27:22,400 –> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: and you have to make sure if there’s something you

558
00:27:24,400 –> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: do defensively, you have to stop that because you know

559
00:27:26,960 –> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 1: you’re gonna see that six times throughout the year of

560
00:27:29,720 –> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: your sixteen games. Six of those games against the same

561
00:27:32,840 –> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: three teams, then you got to be able to stop

562
00:27:34,880 –> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: what they do well. Uh, like a team that’s trying

563
00:27:37,359 –> 00:27:40,399
Speaker 1: to defend the kancer. The Chiefs. You know, we have

564
00:27:40,520 –> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback. You know we have an awesome set

565
00:27:43,080 –> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: of receivers, an awesome tight end. So for a team

566
00:27:45,600 –> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: to not uh have some some draft capital or spend

567
00:27:49,520 –> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: some free agent money on corners and safeties and in

568
00:27:53,320 –> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: those type of positions, UM, in order to stay UM

569
00:27:56,840 –> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 1: in the ball game with with with the cancer, the

570
00:27:58,680 –> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs would would be not And I think that’s what

571
00:28:01,119 –> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: you’ve seen over the last UM since Andy Reid has

572
00:28:03,960 –> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: got here. UM, there’s nobody in our division that really

573
00:28:07,560 –> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: matched up well against US. UM from a standpoint of

574
00:28:10,640 –> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: having three or four cornerbacks, two safeties, UM edge rushed

575
00:28:14,440 –> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: to mix the ball, get out now very everybody. We

576
00:28:19,119 –> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: are still the most dominant team as far as skill position. UM.

577
00:28:23,080 –> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: When we have all our guys going UM, if you

578
00:28:25,600 –> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: match them up against anybody in other vision, it’s hard

579
00:28:27,600 –> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: for me to say that you don’t bet that the

580
00:28:29,280 –> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs were gonna come out no matter where you play

581
00:28:31,720 –> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: home or away. UM. Not even since at the time

582
00:28:35,359 –> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have the better personnel, UM up and down

583
00:28:38,880 –> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: under roster, and we’ve done a great Jim bred Beach

584
00:28:41,280 –> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: has done a great job of really um tooling up

585
00:28:44,400 –> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: this twenty nineteen team with a lot of weapons, a

586
00:28:47,920 –> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: lot of depth of the wide receiver position, UM using

587
00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: being able to use Kelsey as a tight end slash

588
00:28:54,440 –> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: receiver and spreading them up in the flex position, of

589
00:28:57,440 –> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: putting them in the core, U, having them come out

590
00:28:59,640 –> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: the bag, backfield, shovel path, all the different ways we’ve

591
00:29:04,160 –> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: been able to use him, and it just adds to

592
00:29:07,160 –> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: it the uses of Sammy Watkins and co Hartman. Like

593
00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: you said, Robinson, you can’t go into a Kansas City

594
00:29:13,800 –> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs game thinking you’re gonna take away just our best

595
00:29:17,160 –> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: are one or two best tools, because then you’ll get

596
00:29:21,360 –> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: beat by the other three, no question. It’s just devastating

597
00:29:24,040 –> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: trying to defend this team. Okay, finally, we got about

598
00:29:27,280 –> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: a minute a minute or two left in this podcast.

599
00:29:29,240 –> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: It deals with something I think this rivalry is a

600
00:29:31,680 –> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: gift to the fans. Yes it is. Anytime you’re around

601
00:29:34,240 –> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: a rivalry, I think it’s a gift. I don’t care

602
00:29:36,240 –> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: if it’s the Red Shock, Yankees or whatever. Sport it

603
00:29:40,280 –> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: is to have this rivalry in these division rivers. But

604
00:29:44,040 –> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: this right radar rivalry for the fans, for the Chiefs kingdom,

605
00:29:47,520 –> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: I think it’s a gift. It is. And then as

606
00:29:49,680 –> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: a fan of the game, you want your team to

607
00:29:51,720 –> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: be a team that’s noted and talked about. Yeah, you

608
00:29:54,560 –> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: want to win championships, but the worst thing can happen

609
00:29:57,640 –> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: is your team wins the Super Bowl one year and

610
00:29:59,400 –> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: then living for the next ten. You know, I’ve talked

611
00:30:02,800 –> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: to some Giants fans, some Cowboys fans man a decade ago,

612
00:30:07,240 –> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: they were winning championships, but their teams aren’t really good

613
00:30:10,680 –> 00:30:13,479
