16
00:01:02,080 –> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: up this week is the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears.

17
00:01:05,920 –> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: And I know you probably knew this cat Barbershop, but

18
00:01:09,520 –> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: his name was Lucius Appuls. I think Apu l eis

19
00:01:14,480 –> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Lucius Appulus because in one fifty a d in ancient Rome,

20
00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: He’s the one that came up with the phrase familiarity

21
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: breeds contempt. Oh. I like that, meaning if you know somebody,

22
00:01:28,319 –> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: you don’t have as much respect as you should have.

23
00:01:31,400 –> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: This week with the Chiefs playing the Chicago Bears, I’m

24
00:01:34,440 –> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: going to switch it up. I think it’s familiarity breeds

25
00:01:37,640 –> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: respect because we got a lot of ties with the

26
00:01:40,959 –> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears and the Kansas City Chiefs. We’re gonna get

27
00:01:43,360 –> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: into that a little bit, but it does with Matt

28
00:01:46,120 –> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Nagee taken over for Chicago, and I remember when he left,

29
00:01:48,720 –> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: and we had long talks prior to that time because

30
00:01:51,880 –> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: is he going to the Colts? Is he going to

31
00:01:53,240 –> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: the Bears? Where is he going? But Matt Nagee now

32
00:01:56,400 –> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Chicago Bears. But it brings

33
00:01:59,440 –> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: up in our first quarter of our Defending the Kingdom podcast. Honestly,

34
00:02:02,880 –> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: one of the more underrated stories I think in the NFL,

35
00:02:05,160 –> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: and that is Andy Reid’s influence on the entire league.

36
00:02:08,960 –> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Think of these franchises that are under his direct discipleship, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Indianapolis,

37
00:02:17,760 –> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: the New York Giants with coach Shermer, all trying to

38
00:02:21,120 –> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: replicate what’s happened in Kansas City over the better part

39
00:02:23,960 –> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: of seven seasons. So here we are Barbershop. Andy reads

40
00:02:27,440 –> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: influence on the entire National Football League. Yeah, you just

41
00:02:30,120 –> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: read it off. Sixteens and five out of six are

42
00:02:33,120 –> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: still in playoff contention. Sixteen week sixteen of a season,

43
00:02:37,639 –> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: and five out of six teams the coach has some

44
00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 1: level of influence. One are still in the hunt, if

45
00:02:42,680 –> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: not already guaranteed the first the second set. That’s an

46
00:02:46,240 –> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: amazing detriment. That’s an amazing quality that coach has of

47
00:02:50,280 –> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: rubbing off one guys early in their career, letting them

48
00:02:53,600 –> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: know how important it is that everybody gets in front

49
00:02:57,680 –> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: of the media. Everybody learns multiple positions. He expects guys

50
00:03:03,000 –> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: to transcend from being a position coach to a coordinator,

51
00:03:06,680 –> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: from a coordinator to a head coach. That’s the normal

52
00:03:09,360 –> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: track he sees guys coming into the league and expecting

53
00:03:13,520 –> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: those type things. I remember a years ago when I

54
00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: was at Philly, we had a number of coaches that

55
00:03:18,240 –> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: would would go from one position to another, especially in

56
00:03:21,919 –> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: coach ends of being a lineback coach, offensive line coach

57
00:03:24,480 –> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: ends up being a defensive coach, d back coach coaches

58
00:03:28,160 –> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: and linebackers. It wasn’t that you wasn’t good at your position,

59
00:03:31,600 –> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: but he expected guys to want at some point to

60
00:03:34,400 –> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: be a coordinator. And to be a coordinator you had

61
00:03:37,720 –> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: to learn all levels of the defense, all positions of

62
00:03:41,040 –> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: the offense or special teams, and then at some point

63
00:03:43,640 –> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: in time be ready to be a head coach. He

64
00:03:45,840 –> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: does a great job of getting guys ready for that,

65
00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: as he does here in Kansas City, by making all

66
00:03:49,760 –> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: the coordinators answer questions from the media, answered some of

67
00:03:53,640 –> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: the tough questions, and that you know, high behind the

68
00:03:56,520 –> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: head coach here. When Nags got the Chicago job, the

69
00:04:00,560 –> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Chicago media had me on several different locations and they said,

70
00:04:04,560 –> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: what about this guy? I said, honestly, I think because

71
00:04:08,160 –> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Naggs is wired the same way as Coach Read, he

72
00:04:10,840 –> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: will start to transform your entire franchise within a couple

73
00:04:13,720 –> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: of days. It’s what Andy Reid did here. Now you

74
00:04:15,960 –> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: got the great perspective shop because you didn’t start with

75
00:04:19,040 –> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Coach Read. You didn’t start with him, You started with

76
00:04:22,040 –> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: other folks when you’re in Washington, but you went to

77
00:04:24,720 –> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: coach Read eventually, and that gives you perspective because if

78
00:04:29,839 –> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: all you have been around coach Read, I think you

79
00:04:32,800 –> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: can get spoiled here a little bit because to me,

80
00:04:34,839 –> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: the biggest attribute and I think Naggs would agree with

81
00:04:37,400 –> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: me in what Nags learned from Coach is Naggs gets

82
00:04:40,640 –> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: the human spirit. He co Coach Read can set here

83
00:04:44,040 –> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: in X and o’s with anybody. But he understands how

84
00:04:46,640 –> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: to motivate, how to discipline, how to put people in

85
00:04:52,279 –> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: position you’ve already alluded to it to train them. He

86
00:04:55,040 –> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: doesn’t stand in the way of somebody’s progress, but he

87
00:04:57,880 –> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 1: also knows that’s part of feeding into somebody’s shoal and

88
00:05:02,040 –> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: getting the most out of it. Yeah, and part of

89
00:05:04,279 –> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: like when you look at athletes coming out of college,

90
00:05:07,200 –> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: they’re young men playing a boys game, playing But he realized, like, hey,

91
00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: this is this is your career, this is what you’re

92
00:05:13,360 –> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: passionate about. If you do it the right way. UM,

93
00:05:16,440 –> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: you do what you’re told, be accountable, UM, treated like

94
00:05:19,560 –> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: a treat a job like a man like you care

95
00:05:21,560 –> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: about it, and really put you know your faith in

96
00:05:24,560 –> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: UM and your family and football and the proper priorities.

97
00:05:28,640 –> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: We can all be very successful. You can be you

98
00:05:31,200 –> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: can you can be an all All Pro player, you

99
00:05:33,480 –> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: can be a great asset to this team. But he

100
00:05:35,960 –> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: also realizes some guys they need to be cut in

101
00:05:39,240 –> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: order to grow. And that’s tough for some coaches to realize.

102
00:05:41,800 –> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: Like they see a talent and they want that talent

103
00:05:43,520 –> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: to work on their team so bad they’ll hang on

104
00:05:46,880 –> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: to them too long. They want they’ll let the guy

105
00:05:49,200 –> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: wrought on their team before another guy another team can

106
00:05:52,000 –> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: benefit from them. Coach has never been that way. He

107
00:05:54,800 –> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: understands the necessity to motivate some guys and sometimes he

108
00:06:00,320 –> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: has to realize he’s not the person that can motivate him.

109
00:06:03,320 –> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: It takes being jobless. Sometimes it takes being without a home,

110
00:06:06,400 –> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: without a job, without a check for some guys to

111
00:06:08,880 –> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 1: realize how important football is to him and to make

112
00:06:11,839 –> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: that a priority, and then for them to take the

113
00:06:13,920 –> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: steps needed to keep progressing and trending the right way

114
00:06:17,760 –> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: as a football player. And if there’s one person that

115
00:06:19,800 –> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: comes to mind with that, it’s it’s Marcus Peters. Marcus

116
00:06:22,279 –> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: Peters is a better football player now today because Andy

117
00:06:26,279 –> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Reid had the foresight to realize at that point here

118
00:06:30,440 –> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, there are some things going on where

119
00:06:32,839 –> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: he didn’t take football seriously enough. Same thing for Cream

120
00:06:36,520 –> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: Hunt and a number of players that you can go

121
00:06:38,680 –> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: down line that are better football players now they’ve left

122
00:06:40,920 –> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: this organization. But in that case, in those cases, I

123
00:06:44,200 –> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: saw a coachree give a lot of latitude. He gave

124
00:06:46,920 –> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: them all kinds of opportunities and chances or he’s seen

125
00:06:50,240 –> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: I’ve seen it with a lot of different players in

126
00:06:52,279 –> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: seven years. But he seems to know how to motivate.

127
00:06:55,400 –> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: The other thing is, and I see this with Nags

128
00:06:57,480 –> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: too when he was the offensive coordinator co offensive here

129
00:07:00,400 –> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Keep in mind, he along with Mike

130
00:07:02,920 –> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: Kafka and others, were a big part of Patrick mahomes

131
00:07:05,800 –> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: apprenticeship season definitely when he said there and you know

132
00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: was waiting as the backup basically learning under Alex Smith

133
00:07:12,360 –> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: and others. But Nags is a big part of that development.

134
00:07:15,640 –> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: But being secure and who you are as a coach

135
00:07:17,840 –> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: and as a person. When I’ve seen errors made in

136
00:07:20,360 –> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: this league, it has been because of insecurity. I’m gonna

137
00:07:23,480 –> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I call it the jellyfish syndrome. I’m gonna put out

138
00:07:25,560 –> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: ink blots like I’m really big bag and tough and

139
00:07:27,840 –> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: really inside I’m insecure. Coach read is so secure, he’s

140
00:07:31,840 –> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: not gonna block guys from getting jobs. But I’ve seen

141
00:07:34,560 –> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: that now emanate from these other disciples I saw in

142
00:07:37,840 –> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, I see it in Matt Nagge. But being

143
00:07:39,920 –> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: secure and who you are as a coach, to me

144
00:07:42,320 –> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: lends itself if coming across as real to your players

145
00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: in your locker room. Yeah, you understand. It’s your staff.

146
00:07:48,640 –> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: You want it, definitely, you want to keep the best

147
00:07:50,560 –> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: assistant coaches around Joe players as possible. But you also

148
00:07:54,400 –> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: realize that there there are guys that are transcending um

149
00:07:57,800 –> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: being in your locker room, these guys that deserve the

150
00:08:00,720 –> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: opportunities because they’ve given you so much. They’ve dedicated so

151
00:08:03,840 –> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: much sacrifice, so much to your organization that as a coach,

152
00:08:07,520 –> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: it does you just as much joy seeing them be

153
00:08:09,280 –> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: successful other places. And by them guys leaving it allows

154
00:08:13,320 –> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: other guys to rise up, step up to the plate,

155
00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: and grow, whether it’s the players in the locker room

156
00:08:19,800 –> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: or the coaches coaching the players. Andy has done a

157
00:08:23,160 –> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: great job of molding and setting a pattern and a

158
00:08:28,000 –> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: and in a way for guys to matriculate up upstream

159
00:08:32,679 –> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: um and and and work on their resumes and work

160
00:08:35,240 –> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: on their UM their abilities to UM continue to seek

161
00:08:39,880 –> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: UM head coaching jobs and coordinator jobs. But while they’re here,

162
00:08:44,240 –> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: they’re they’re still demanded UM to give their best. And

163
00:08:47,400 –> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: that’s one thing I think when you talk about other

164
00:08:49,240 –> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: teams I’ve been a part of UM, I can, I can.

165
00:08:51,440 –> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 1: I can definitely say when I got drafted and I

166
00:08:53,800 –> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: and I went to the Washington Redskins, that was not

167
00:08:56,440 –> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: available in the building the building was a offensive minded coach.

168
00:09:01,440 –> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: I’m coach nor Turner bless his soul is a great

169
00:09:03,640 –> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: offensive mind. But when it comes to being a head

170
00:09:06,240 –> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: coach and holding everybody in the building accountable, creating a

171
00:09:10,400 –> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: path and a vision for everybody to follow, I don’t

172
00:09:13,640 –> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: think he possessed that ability for me as a player,

173
00:09:17,040 –> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: and so I had to find it elsewhere, And sometimes

174
00:09:19,240 –> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: you found it in other players. And as you know,

175
00:09:22,679 –> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: sometimes you who you mentor who you follow is not

176
00:09:26,280 –> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: always the best person to follow when it comes to

177
00:09:28,960 –> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: somebody these vets hang out all night, party all night,

178
00:09:31,679 –> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: fly to Vegas on Friday and back on Saturday. Those

179
00:09:34,160 –> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: type of adventures make the season sometimes a negative more

180
00:09:39,640 –> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: than a positive. But Coachry not only securing who he

181
00:09:43,520 –> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: is but willing to teach as well. All Right, this

182
00:09:45,760 –> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be the tenth different assistant he has gone against.

183
00:09:49,360 –> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: He is eleven and six. You can go right down

184
00:09:51,200 –> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: the line, Dud Peterson, Sean McDermott, Ton Bulls, Pat Shermer’s

185
00:09:55,000 –> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: son is here now is a practice squad quarterback Run

186
00:09:57,480 –> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: Rivera recently let go in Carolina, Leslie Frazier, Steve Spagnolo,

187
00:10:01,920 –> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: Brad Childress, who’s on Naggie staff. And John Harbaugh, the

188
00:10:05,640 –> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: coach of the Baltimore Ravens, who’s the flavor of the

189
00:10:08,040 –> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: month right now in the league anyway, coaches eleven and

190
00:10:10,640 –> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: six against his old disciples, and i’d say old his disciples,

191
00:10:14,800 –> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: and he’s six and two when he plays them on

192
00:10:17,040 –> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: a second time. But very interesting as we go down

193
00:10:19,320 –> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: to the second quarter of this Defending the Kingdom podcast,

194
00:10:22,440 –> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: which is dueling with disciples. Familiarity breeds respect, not what

195
00:10:26,880 –> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: that dude said in Rome one hundred and fifty a

196
00:10:29,120 –> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: d This is twenty nineteen, and the second part has

197
00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: to deal specifically with this game Chiefs against the Bears.

198
00:10:36,400 –> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: Familiarity breeds respect and going up against Naggie, not only

199
00:10:40,040 –> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Naggie but Brad Childress, Childress’s son Kyle, who worked for

200
00:10:43,360 –> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: coach for a while. Mark da Leone was a linebacker coach.

201
00:10:46,000 –> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 1: Here you’re in camp. I think with him Broccolivo is

202
00:10:49,400 –> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: helping special teams in Dave Tobe’s son are the chief

203
00:10:52,640 –> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: special team’s coach is on the Chicago Bears staff. How

204
00:10:56,120 –> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: much influence can you have axes and o’s and going, oh,

205
00:10:58,520 –> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: I know what coach is thinking here because she’s gonna

206
00:11:00,840 –> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: move rook tonight three. I think it’s gonna be interesting,

207
00:11:04,200 –> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: definitely for the media. There’s gonna be a lot of

208
00:11:06,400 –> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: stories written about it. But in the realistic viewpoint of it,

209
00:11:09,559 –> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: when you look at it from like a bird’s eye

210
00:11:11,280 –> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: of view, our defense is night and day from what

211
00:11:14,280 –> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: it was last year. So there’s no carry over the

212
00:11:16,880 –> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: coach they alone would have like knowing Bob Sutton’s defense,

213
00:11:21,200 –> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: Coach nags his years spent here practicing against Bob Sutton’s defense,

214
00:11:26,360 –> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: all that is out the window. And so unless you

215
00:11:28,320 –> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: actually have some somebody that was a part of the

216
00:11:30,920 –> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: staff when UM coach Magnola was with Philadelphia or the

217
00:11:35,440 –> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: Giant staff that knows part of his defense, UM, they

218
00:11:38,320 –> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: have the same advantage as anybody else, they would just

219
00:11:40,120 –> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: have to watch film try to figure out as much

220
00:11:41,960 –> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: as they can through film work, film study. Defensively, you

221
00:11:46,080 –> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: would think the Bears might have some some familiarity after

222
00:11:49,760 –> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: going against their own teams, offensive sets and formations in

223
00:11:54,040 –> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: the way Nags would try to carry over, you know,

224
00:11:58,120 –> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: the majority of this offensive philosophy to the Bears. But

225
00:12:01,760 –> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: the one thing that’s different about the Bears offense than

226
00:12:05,120 –> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: our offense is the MVP. It’s Pat Mahomes. You can’t

227
00:12:08,679 –> 00:12:13,239
Speaker 1: run everything that Coach Reid does here at another organizations

228
00:12:13,280 –> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: unless you have that piece of the puzzle. That’s a

229
00:12:15,520 –> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: very that’s a very unique piece of the puzzle. UM

230
00:12:19,440 –> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: that makes things go. That’s the call that makes things

231
00:12:21,880 –> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: go here in Kansas City. UM, even though we were

232
00:12:24,160 –> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 1: trying to we made it through a few games with

233
00:12:25,840 –> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: Matt Moore under that the the the masterpiece to the

234
00:12:30,640 –> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: missing link sometimes in our offense is UM the ability

235
00:12:34,480 –> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: to Pat Mahomes and like he says, spin it no

236
00:12:37,360 –> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: matter what EB, I can spend it in all conditions.

237
00:12:40,760 –> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: We saw that before the snow game versus Denver, him

238
00:12:43,520 –> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: talking to eb letting them know, hey, man, I can

239
00:12:45,440 –> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: spin this thing. No matter what he man, I think

240
00:12:49,320 –> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: I love playing in the snow a little more tack

241
00:12:51,720 –> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: on the ball. Um. Okay, sure you mentioned that. Here’s

242
00:12:54,840 –> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky, the Bears quarterback that snags this guy. So

243
00:12:58,520 –> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: Nagg’s apprentice help app just Mahomes for that seventeen season,

244
00:13:02,040 –> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 1: leaves to go to Chicago, and now he has the

245
00:13:04,160 –> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: quarterback who was selected in the draft eight picks before Mahomes.

246
00:13:07,920 –> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: So it’s a really interesting situation for Nags. However, people

247
00:13:11,920 –> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: have kind of been on Trubisky. As I’ve jumped in

248
00:13:13,960 –> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: and studied him this week, I’m going, what’s wrong with him?

249
00:13:16,920 –> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: He’s got seventeen touchdowns ton ten picks. Okay, there’s been

250
00:13:20,040 –> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: some inconsistency, but the dude’s been on fire pretty much

251
00:13:23,240 –> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: here for the last month of the season, and he

252
00:13:25,400 –> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: can run the ball. I talk with Spags earlier this week.

253
00:13:28,720 –> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: He has forty runs and some of those are big

254
00:13:30,880 –> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: twenty three yard touchdown. Go back and look at his

255
00:13:32,760 –> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: run against the Cowboys twenty seven. Twenty seven of those

256
00:13:36,480 –> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: forty runs have been at Soldier Field. So now I

257
00:13:40,400 –> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: mean Trubisky and what he brings to this game. Familiarity

258
00:13:43,160 –> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: breeds respect. I think there’s some respect level and the

259
00:13:46,480 –> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs have it that the national media doesn’t necessarily have

260
00:13:50,160 –> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: for Mitch Trubisky. Yeah ness with me to be eating

261
00:13:52,320 –> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 1: them up. I think it’s being the number one pick.

262
00:13:55,080 –> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: All those things come in the foe as high as

263
00:13:57,120 –> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: he was drafted. Is he the be student compared to

264
00:13:59,360 –> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: the age? I think this. He’s been put into some

265
00:14:04,440 –> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: situations in ball games where everything was on his shoulders,

266
00:14:08,679 –> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: and there was times last year where he rose to

267
00:14:11,000 –> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: the occasion and you saw mc naggie talking to him

268
00:14:13,559 –> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 1: on the sideline like, I want you to go out

269
00:14:15,400 –> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: and win this game. I want you to this is

270
00:14:16,960 –> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: your game to win. He put it on a platter

271
00:14:19,160 –> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: for him to rise up and win those games. And

272
00:14:21,720 –> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: unfortunately this season, in those same situations, it’s been a turnover,

273
00:14:26,040 –> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: it’s been a sack, incomplete pass drop ball, the defense

274
00:14:30,560 –> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: rises up making a play. Those things just hasn’t happened

275
00:14:34,400 –> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: organically as much. He hasn’t been been victorious and been

276
00:14:38,760 –> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: an overcoming achiever late in the game, late in the dawns,

277
00:14:42,840 –> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: right before the half as much as he has a

278
00:14:45,880 –> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: year ago. And when you look at it at home,

279
00:14:49,560 –> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: I think he’s been a different quarterback. I think he’s

280
00:14:51,480 –> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: been actually very good at home where he’s familiar, using

281
00:14:56,880 –> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: his legs to create some first downs, some touchdowns, create

282
00:15:00,720 –> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: some positive plays, get some momentum, and their defense actually

283
00:15:04,040 –> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: plays a lot better at home. And so collectively as

284
00:15:06,960 –> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: a unit, the Bears team, they’re different beasts at Soldier

285
00:15:12,200 –> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Field at at Chicago than they are on the road.

286
00:15:15,640 –> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, the Kansas City Chiefs, we’re

287
00:15:18,040 –> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: taking them seriously, the organizations taking them seriously. It doesn’t

288
00:15:20,720 –> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: matter what the media says. This Bears team has no

289
00:15:23,560 –> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: give in them. They’re not gonna give up on the season. Um,

290
00:15:27,520 –> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: They’re not gonna give up on their head coach. They

291
00:15:29,080 –> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: no Coach Naggi has a lot invested in this game.

292
00:15:31,640 –> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: A lot of their coaching staffs want to prove something

293
00:15:34,520 –> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: to Kansas City. So we got to go in there

294
00:15:36,480 –> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: and take care of business. And it takes a focus

295
00:15:38,920 –> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: in pursuit of passion of excellence to go in there

296
00:15:42,920 –> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: and get it done. Yeah, I agree totally. And that’s

297
00:15:45,280 –> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: why the theme of this Defending the Kingdom podcast is

298
00:15:48,440 –> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: familiarity breeds respects and not contempt and dueling with the

299
00:15:53,880 –> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: Shiples here because this is a very intriguing game of

300
00:15:56,800 –> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: this thing, going back and forth for at halftime of

301
00:15:59,640 –> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: this to Fending the Kingdom podcast, a shout out to

302
00:16:01,920 –> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: all of you men. This has grown. We just feel

303
00:16:04,240 –> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: the growth throughout the Kingdom and all around the world

304
00:16:06,480 –> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: that have listened to these podcasts. We’ve got a big

305
00:16:08,200 –> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: group in Virginia and Maryland and I mean the East

306
00:16:10,680 –> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: Coast is loving this. But this is you know what

307
00:16:13,800 –> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: to do at halftime twelve minute a halftime in the NFL,

308
00:16:16,520 –> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: on this podcast, you get a second. That’s it. So

309
00:16:19,120 –> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: take a breath, go to the restroom, get a bit

310
00:16:21,920 –> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: of orange, and there it is. Now we go to

311
00:16:25,000 –> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: the second half, so people know how this works. So

312
00:16:27,880 –> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: we go to the third quarter. And this is part

313
00:16:30,120 –> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: of Nags and Coach Read and to me, one of

314
00:16:33,840 –> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: the biggest attributes of Coach Read. I mentioned his security

315
00:16:36,520 –> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: and who he is and how he kind of breeds

316
00:16:38,400 –> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: through that breeds that through the entire organization. But the

317
00:16:41,240 –> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: third quarter I’m putting it on as unicorns on Thunderclouds.

318
00:16:46,280 –> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: By the way, this one, this podcast brought you by

319
00:16:49,040 –> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: three sixty Vodka, the official bodka the Kyans City Chiefs.

320
00:16:52,080 –> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: Unicorns on th clouds. Okay, it’s December. I’m losing my mind.

321
00:16:56,040 –> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: Here’s the point. Coach Read could be a CEO of

322
00:16:59,040 –> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: any major company I think in the country. Naggs also

323
00:17:03,920 –> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: has that kind of acumen. I picked that up from

324
00:17:06,760 –> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: him being around him, like he is sharp, bright. And

325
00:17:10,480 –> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: here’s the biggest issue is dealing with adversity every year.

326
00:17:14,240 –> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: The coach has been here in Kansas City since thirteen.

327
00:17:17,320 –> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: I can bring up a point. I call him flashpoints,

328
00:17:19,840 –> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: and some flashpoints are firecrackers. Other ones are dynamite where

329
00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: they can just take your season and completely wreck it.

330
00:17:27,040 –> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: Coach reads ability to deal with adversity has been I

331
00:17:31,160 –> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: think the most underrated part of him being here and

332
00:17:34,160 –> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: dealing and navigating the Chiefs through flashpoints. Let’s take this year.

333
00:17:38,240 –> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: We’re closing in on two hundred and thirty quarters lost

334
00:17:41,119 –> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: by our starters since the beginning of the year to injury,

335
00:17:44,480 –> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: and here the Chiefs are ten and four. Coach’s ability

336
00:17:47,640 –> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: to keep the ship in the water. And now Nags

337
00:17:49,840 –> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: is in that same spot barbershop. He didn’t think he’s

338
00:17:52,320 –> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: gonna be seven and seven. The anticipation was remember the

339
00:17:55,320 –> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: double strike field goal by Cody Parkey last year, they’re

340
00:17:58,800 –> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: right there. What do we have? What we shed off fall?

341
00:18:01,359 –> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: You got to climb kill him in jar or every

342
00:18:03,040 –> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: year you don’t go back to the double strength kick show.

343
00:18:06,160 –> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: Nags now is dealing with adversity. He’s done it this year.

344
00:18:09,040 –> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: He’s brought him back time after time. To me, that

345
00:18:11,520 –> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: means they’ll be ready to go in this game Chicago Bears.

346
00:18:14,600 –> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: But coach’s ability it will also handle flashpoints and navigate icebergs. Yeah,

347
00:18:18,920 –> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: we talked about you talk about flashpoints, icebergs. It’s a mindset, right.

348
00:18:24,440 –> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: Coach spagg Is probably one of the greatest coaches is

349
00:18:26,880 –> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: developing a guy’s his mental strength to understand what is

350
00:18:30,200 –> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: it to have a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset.

351
00:18:33,320 –> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: And that’s a whole podcast in itself, But having a

352
00:18:35,480 –> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: growth mandset is the way you accept what life deals you.

353
00:18:38,760 –> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: You can look at the losses being a loss non

354
00:18:42,920 –> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: winning effort marking the L column, or you can look

355
00:18:47,280 –> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: at the losses being a chance to get a lesson

356
00:18:49,560 –> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: to learn from why you didn’t accomplish your goals for

357
00:18:52,840 –> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: that day, why your team didn’t overcome, why your team

358
00:18:55,119 –> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: wasn’t successful, why your team wasn’t victorious. And that happens

359
00:18:58,600 –> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: on and off the field. Some of the things you

360
00:19:00,720 –> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: mentioned was injuries. We talk about things off the field,

361
00:19:04,440 –> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: Guys missing time because being suspended, those type of things,

362
00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: players having to leave the team because they do things

363
00:19:11,040 –> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: outside of the white lines. But then also actual game losses,

364
00:19:16,640 –> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: the tight end game loss the Green Bay Packer. Some

365
00:19:19,520 –> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: of the things that I think about that green Bay

366
00:19:21,440 –> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer game is it challenged us as linebackers,

367
00:19:25,080 –> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: the core linebackers. How are we gonna go throughout this

368
00:19:28,880 –> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: season as far as man on man coverage versus very

369
00:19:32,320 –> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: very fundamentally sound elusive running backs. You know, sooner or

370
00:19:37,000 –> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: later you’re going to see a team that uses a

371
00:19:38,880 –> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: running back as a wide receiver or a tight end

372
00:19:41,840 –> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: as good as kelsey elusive. How are those matchups going

373
00:19:46,080 –> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: to be handled when the time comes. We persevered through

374
00:19:50,359 –> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: a Green Bay Packer game giving up way too many

375
00:19:53,000 –> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: yards to the running back position uses as a wide receiver,

376
00:19:55,600 –> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: and it forced our defense to make an adjustment. So

377
00:19:58,000 –> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: we learn from that loss. It’s now something teams now

378
00:20:01,280 –> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: can use to because before the Minnesota Vikings game, you

379
00:20:04,960 –> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: heard about it. Before the last game against the Patriots,

380
00:20:07,359 –> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: we heard about it and everybody wanted to look back

381
00:20:09,440 –> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: at the Green Bay Packer game, but we learned from that.

382
00:20:12,440 –> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: We’ve used that as a way to grow as a defense,

383
00:20:15,040 –> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: and now you have to try to create another way

384
00:20:17,760 –> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 1: to beat this defense. And every time our defense for

385
00:20:20,280 –> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: the last four weeks have stepped up to the occasion

386
00:20:22,359 –> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: and are playing lights out right now. And I turned back,

387
00:20:25,720 –> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: we can turn back to the page if those lessons

388
00:20:27,520 –> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 1: learned at the Titans game, at the Packers game, some

389
00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: of those lessons we learned during those losses are the

390
00:20:32,840 –> 00:20:35,680
Speaker 1: reason why this defense is playing so solid, so lights

391
00:20:35,680 –> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: out right now. Growth mindset versus fixed mindset? Right, is

392
00:20:39,119 –> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: that what she says that man where to go shop?

393
00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: But I feel and those became big areas. Are covering

394
00:20:46,480 –> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: the running back in the Passion game, a big reason

395
00:20:48,280 –> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: why the Chiefs beat the Chargers in Mexico City, a

396
00:20:50,800 –> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: big reason why they can match up a little better

397
00:20:52,560 –> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: against the Patriots now, because that’s what killed them for

398
00:20:55,280 –> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: the most part. People saw a gronk and stuff in

399
00:20:57,920 –> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: the championship game, but that game in particularly Foxboro in eighteen,

400
00:21:01,440 –> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: it was James White who’s just going crazy on him

401
00:21:04,359 –> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: as a receiver. As a running back. Well, Okay, that

402
00:21:07,200 –> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: leads us into this week because Terry Cohen does that

403
00:21:09,680 –> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears, a really good receiver as a

404
00:21:12,480 –> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: running back. And so this growth by this Chief’s defense

405
00:21:17,160 –> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: with the linebackers and growing from adversity. You know, I

406
00:21:21,640 –> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: joke about it, but finding unicorns on thunderclouds. I was

407
00:21:24,640 –> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 1: asked earlier this week by Chicago media, how’s Nags going

408
00:21:27,680 –> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: to handle this season? Like? Well, I said, how is

409
00:21:30,200 –> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: he going to be in this game? And as he

410
00:21:31,600 –> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: gonna handle this season? I said, he’s gonna keep chopping wood.

411
00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: I said, he’s gonna try to use this as a

412
00:21:35,880 –> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: teaching but I said he’s gonna come after the Chiefs

413
00:21:38,440 –> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: as hard as he’s coming after anybody all year, even

414
00:21:40,440 –> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: though they’re out of the playoffs. Because people think they’re

415
00:21:42,440 –> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: going to check it in. Huh. That’s not the way

416
00:21:44,520 –> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: Nags was trained by coach Reid, and it’s not the

417
00:21:46,960 –> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: way he’s wired from his background. He’s going to try

418
00:21:49,880 –> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: to find some kind of unicorn on the thundercloud to

419
00:21:52,400 –> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: use because this game would be huge for him to

420
00:21:54,280 –> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: build in to twenty twenty. Yeah, and he’s in those

421
00:21:57,480 –> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: meetings where our offensive coordinator stripped down defenses and realizes

422
00:22:02,520 –> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: that defense area planning UM in two Thoy eighteen twenty seventeen,

423
00:22:06,400 –> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: they had a weakness at linebacker, weakness at safety. How

424
00:22:09,280 –> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: does coach reading his offensive said, how do they attack

425
00:22:11,920 –> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: that weakness? Nags was a part of that uh that

426
00:22:15,119 –> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: building phase. He knows the philosophy of how to attack

427
00:22:17,880 –> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: weaknesses the teams having those positions, and so it would

428
00:22:20,880 –> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: be almost you know it would It wouldn’t be beyond

429
00:22:25,520 –> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: me thinking He’s gonna use some of the same UM

430
00:22:28,359 –> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: philosophical um um attack points to try to get Mitch

431
00:22:33,240 –> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Matches on the edge, using terrecoing um um angle routes,

432
00:22:37,880 –> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: aero routes, shoot routes, um um quick releases to the

433
00:22:41,880 –> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: flat um allowing the wide receiver to block the linebacker

434
00:22:45,040 –> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: or getting the linebackers way where you do bubble screens

435
00:22:48,640 –> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: UM using terrecoing as a as A as a you know,

436
00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: in jet motion, similar to how we use uh cheetah

437
00:22:55,080 –> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: to try to get our linebackers or our run gaps

438
00:22:57,920 –> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: misplaced so then they can run downhill and get us

439
00:23:01,520 –> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: out of our run gaps. So some of the same

440
00:23:03,600 –> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: motion and shifts that you see the Kansa City Chiefs

441
00:23:06,880 –> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 1: use when it comes to Miko Hardman and Tik Hill.

442
00:23:12,720 –> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: We might see similar things being used by Anthony Miller

443
00:23:16,240 –> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: or about Teri Cohen or somebody with the Bears. So

444
00:23:18,760 –> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, we’re gonna see some mirrors

445
00:23:20,840 –> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: images on the shifting motion packages because of the process

446
00:23:24,280 –> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: of getting those. Mitch match on defenders with better skilled

447
00:23:30,280 –> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: offensive players against are what most people think are weaker defenders. Again,

448
00:23:35,520 –> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: this edition of The Defender of the Kingdom is named

449
00:23:38,560 –> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: Dueling with Disciples, and that’s familiarity breeds respect not contempt.

450
00:23:43,240 –> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: As we close out this third quarter, though, I’m talking

451
00:23:45,320 –> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: about finding the unicorns on Thunderclouds. I put this out

452
00:23:49,280 –> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: on Twitter earlier this week. You talked about learning from

453
00:23:51,359 –> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: the Titans game, and this leads into how we’re going

454
00:23:54,560 –> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 1: to close this out because I’m asking about Terrell Suggs

455
00:23:57,720 –> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: and what he can add to the Chiefs if the

456
00:24:00,200 –> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs can get the two seed. This is predicated on

457
00:24:02,640 –> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: the Bills beating New England on Saturday, right, But let’s

458
00:24:05,440 –> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: say the Chiefs can get to the two seed. Take

459
00:24:07,280 –> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: that hypothesis. You realize losing to the Titans help the

460
00:24:10,560 –> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs it put them in the waiver passage to be

461
00:24:13,600 –> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: able to get Terrell sucks. If they don’t, he’s gonna

462
00:24:16,080 –> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: get claimed by somebody else. So here’s Sugs and at

463
00:24:19,840 –> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: the defensive end position for the Kansas City Chiefs. Emmanuel

464
00:24:22,720 –> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: Ogba did a great job this year, but tears his pack,

465
00:24:26,200 –> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: same position. Alex Oker for doing a great job for

466
00:24:29,040 –> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: the Chiefs tears his pack, same injury, same spot. But

467
00:24:33,040 –> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: what can you do to fill it in this late

468
00:24:35,160 –> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: and Damon Harris has done a good job. Wait a minute,

469
00:24:37,680 –> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 1: You’ve got Sugs and you can put him in there.

470
00:24:40,440 –> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: So if you get to the two seed that’s putting,

471
00:24:43,320 –> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, the best construction on the Titan loss. What

472
00:24:46,040 –> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: can Sugs help this dude? To help this team? Man?

473
00:24:48,080 –> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 1: You mentioned that waiver claim process. It’s so intricate. I

474
00:24:51,240 –> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: asked so many people hit me up on Twitter, on

475
00:24:53,000 –> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: different Facebook fees. How does it work? When does he

476
00:24:55,760 –> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: when does he pass waivers? Why didn’t he wanted to

477
00:24:59,280 –> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: go to Ravens? How come their claim was not valuable?

478
00:25:02,400 –> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: All these different things. Make sure you go to our website.

479
00:25:05,880 –> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: Look at all the stuff that bj Kissel was doing.

480
00:25:08,160 –> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: He breaks down that waiver claim process better than anybody

481
00:25:12,600 –> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: I’ve ever seen besides the NFL Football Operations website. So

482
00:25:16,440 –> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: look at that. It tells about the nuances about what

483
00:25:19,280 –> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: teams were positioned where. Yes, if we had beat the

484
00:25:22,400 –> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, then that waiver claim would have went to

485
00:25:24,840 –> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, or it might have went to the

486
00:25:27,640 –> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. So yes, one to rail sucks.

487
00:25:31,400 –> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: T Sizzle might have been back there replacing d Ford

488
00:25:36,359 –> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, and if we had one

489
00:25:38,560 –> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: more win. So it’s it’s one of those things, right,

490
00:25:42,080 –> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: it’s it’s the nectar of the gods. Sometimes things happen

491
00:25:45,040 –> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: for a reason. You don’t look back. Each game is valuable,

492
00:25:47,920 –> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: you try to win, you try to play your best.

493
00:25:49,680 –> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: But right now, right here, in this moment in time,

494
00:25:51,960 –> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 1: we were able to claim T. Sizzle a Hall of

495
00:25:54,920 –> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: Fame all time. One of the top guys in sacks.

496
00:25:58,920 –> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: I think he’s only three of away from moving up

497
00:26:01,359 –> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 1: to the next rank is getting sacks. And for him

498
00:26:04,920 –> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: to come into Chief’s kingdom with you see the amount

499
00:26:08,240 –> 00:26:10,719
Speaker 1: of respect he asked for coach Andy Reid, the amount

500
00:26:10,720 –> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: of respect he has for Pat Mahomes. He wanted to

501
00:26:13,080 –> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: be a part of something. Even before just a few games.

502
00:26:16,040 –> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: He saw greatness in the air, he saw what his

503
00:26:18,240 –> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: team has headed, and he knew that was something that

504
00:26:21,880 –> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: could benefit from his Hall of Fame status being added

505
00:26:24,160 –> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: to it. I see nothing but a benefit of having

506
00:26:26,960 –> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: that type of resume adding into your defensive locker room.

507
00:26:30,440 –> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: If there was one thing that we were short of,

508
00:26:33,320 –> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: if you talk about the Chiefs defense, is championship pedigree.

509
00:26:37,800 –> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: Guys that actually have been to the super Bowl knows

510
00:26:40,600 –> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: what it liked to be preparing for the super Bowl,

511
00:26:43,040 –> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: getting ready for it, and then the mentality you need

512
00:26:46,240 –> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: to go into that game. So that’s somebody who has that.

513
00:26:49,320 –> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: He’s been there, he’s been to the show, he’s won

514
00:26:51,119 –> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: it all. He can speak from a personal level to

515
00:26:53,720 –> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: our players that our other leaders can’t. Chris Jones can’t

516
00:26:57,680 –> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: speak about it because he don’t know about it. I’m honey, Badgers.

517
00:27:02,320 –> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: As great of a leader as he is, there’s certain

518
00:27:04,440 –> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: things that you can only speak from from personal experience.

519
00:27:07,480 –> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: So that value in itself is more than worth at

520
00:27:10,640 –> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty thousand whatever it was worth left

521
00:27:13,040 –> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: on that contract to get him here for two more weeks.

522
00:27:16,200 –> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: I think that was a wonderful move by Brett Beach

523
00:27:19,560 –> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: and coach Reet to get somebody of that quality into

524
00:27:22,680 –> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: the foe right now at the end of the season,

525
00:27:24,960 –> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Spags talked about that very thing this week of just

526
00:27:27,080 –> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: what he brings to the room and that edge of

527
00:27:30,280 –> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: knowing how to get there. And Spags has been there too,

528
00:27:32,359 –> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: He’s been at the Golden Ring. But again, the Chiefs

529
00:27:36,440 –> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: have to get the two seed for this to work.

530
00:27:38,080 –> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: But you can go back and look at my tweet,

531
00:27:40,680 –> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: because losing that Titan game could have given the Chiefs

532
00:27:44,480 –> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 1: they get the two seed and Sugs you talk about it.

533
00:27:48,600 –> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: I said unicorns on Thunderclouds also said on that tweet,

534
00:27:51,400 –> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 1: is it manure or is it fertilizer? Okay, so that’s

535
00:27:56,160 –> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: why Matt Naggi is with Chicago. That’s what I’m saying.

536
00:27:58,760 –> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: He’ll be back. He’ll be fine. Just be cool here

537
00:28:01,480 –> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Bear Nation, He’s gonna be and he’s gonna use This

538
00:28:03,800 –> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 1: week is at the start of next season. All right.

539
00:28:06,000 –> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: We go to the fourth quarter in our final portion

540
00:28:08,320 –> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: of this Defending the Kingdom episode, which is dealing with disciples,

541
00:28:12,359 –> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: familiarity breeds respect and again it’s brought to you by

542
00:28:15,680 –> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: three sixty vodka, the official vodka the Kansas City Chiefs.

543
00:28:18,680 –> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: The fourth quarter is dealing with maybe with his less familiarity,

544
00:28:22,560 –> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: and that’s with the Chicago defense. Now, this is an

545
00:28:25,640 –> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: interesting defense. They have not given up even though the

546
00:28:28,400 –> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: Bears are seven and seven and out of the AFC

547
00:28:30,440 –> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: playoff chase. This is a defense that is still pretty

548
00:28:34,720 –> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: much intact. And one thing that comes off the page

549
00:28:39,280 –> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: is that they do not give up big plays. They

550
00:28:41,160 –> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: are second in the league and disallowing plays of ten

551
00:28:44,080 –> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: yards or more. Only Jacksonville’s given up fewer. This is

552
00:28:47,200 –> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: a team that makes you earn it, and the guys

553
00:28:49,440 –> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: up front are tough. They’ve got some studs up there. Now,

554
00:28:52,680 –> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: if Keem Hicks plays, that’s a full grown man. So

555
00:28:55,840 –> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: you got to deal with the Chicago defense, which is

556
00:28:58,040 –> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: still very much intact and very much Yeah. It begins

557
00:29:01,440 –> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: to start with Matt right. Mack is a guy who

558
00:29:03,280 –> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: brings instant pressure, and we talk about not giving a

559
00:29:05,920 –> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: big plays. I think it becomes they have what it

560
00:29:09,400 –> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: takes to trust at all three levels, and we talk

561
00:29:12,400 –> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: It starts with Mac. Mac is a guy. If I’m

562
00:29:14,840 –> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: on that defense, I know he’s gonna be a guy

563
00:29:16,880 –> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: who sets the tone. He’s gonna be coming every dayn

564
00:29:19,640 –> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: after your quarterback, he has to be accounting for. Teams

565
00:29:22,520 –> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: are gonna adjust to him, sometimes over adjust which leaves

566
00:29:26,000 –> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: some one on one matchup that you can take advantage of.

567
00:29:29,120 –> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: But defensively, the secondary trusted, they’re not gonna have to

568
00:29:32,680 –> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: cover more than two seconds. Mac is gonna be there

569
00:29:35,200 –> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: no matter what the call is, whether they bring in blitz, pressures, dogs,

570
00:29:38,960 –> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: or just rushing three. If he’s one of those three,

571
00:29:42,160 –> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback is gonna be uncomfortable if not pressure, not

572
00:29:45,800 –> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: on the ground within two and a half seconds. So

573
00:29:48,280 –> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: that allows them to be very aggressive on the bag

574
00:29:50,360 –> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: in on the back end, play their techniques. Kind of

575
00:29:53,440 –> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: the same thing. We talk about our defense being a

576
00:29:55,360 –> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: trusting defense having confidence in one another. The position in

577
00:29:59,480 –> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: that defense is broke down is the linebacker not having

578
00:30:03,120 –> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: Trebathian in there. Um, he’s been one of the biggest

579
00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: losses because that leadership. Um, that that that trust and

580
00:30:10,600 –> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: leadership from from that signal caller. I mean you can

581
00:30:13,440 –> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: see he’s a He’s a perennial Pro Bowl type linebacker.

582
00:30:17,600 –> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: He brings so much fire and energy. Um, I think

583
00:30:20,480 –> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: it has been any let down in that and in

584
00:30:23,680 –> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: the three levels of that defense is at that linebacker position,

585
00:30:26,720 –> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: and that’s something we can look forward to attacking. Yeah,

586
00:30:29,360 –> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: Kevin Pierre Lewis is their former chief. Actually he’s in

587
00:30:32,080 –> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: there and trying to, you know, hold the fort if

588
00:30:34,640 –> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: you will. The secondary, though, um is good. Kyle Fuller,

589
00:30:38,280 –> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Kennel Fuller’s brothers on this team. You know you Virginia

590
00:30:40,920 –> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: Tech fans and love that one of the four Fuller

591
00:30:43,360 –> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: brothers in the National Football League of veteran Prince Amukamara,

592
00:30:47,160 –> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: you can remember him if you’re a Nebraska fan. The

593
00:30:49,320 –> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: sedcent secondary. But here’s a stat that I think. You know,

594
00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: sometimes stats can be overrated, but this is one I

595
00:30:55,120 –> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: don’t think is as it pertains to the Bears defense

596
00:30:57,320 –> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are number one in the

597
00:30:59,600 –> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: National Football League. And how many points they’ve scored outside

598
00:31:03,200 –> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: the red zone. Okay, let’s think about the Micole Hardman

599
00:31:06,160 –> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: pass a couple of weeks ago against New England. Let’s

600
00:31:10,240 –> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: think about the past to Tyreek kill of forty one

601
00:31:12,240 –> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: yards against the Broncos. Those are beyond the red zone.

602
00:31:15,600 –> 00:31:17,959
Speaker 1: Those are plays of twenty yards or more to score.

603
00:31:18,280 –> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs are number one in the league. This team, the

604
00:31:20,960 –> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: Bears have allowed only forty three points outside the red zone,

605
00:31:24,560 –> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: meaning this is a strength meeting of strength, and so

606
00:31:29,440 –> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: to me, you’re gonna have to earn these big plays

607
00:31:31,840 –> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: and you may have to be patient against these guys,

608
00:31:34,240 –> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: but this is a team that doesn’t necessarily allow easily

609
00:31:38,360 –> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: the fifty yard. Just heave it up and there’s mcole

610
00:31:40,440 –> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: Hardman for a touchdown. You’re not gonna see a bunch

611
00:31:42,640 –> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: of breakdowns on the back end. No blown coverages defenders.

612
00:31:46,360 –> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: We talked about seeing this past week and some defenders

613
00:31:49,560 –> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: running into each other and giving up touchdowns. You’re not

614
00:31:51,640 –> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna see that when it comes to the Bears defense.

615
00:31:53,760 –> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: But what you have to do is you have to

616
00:31:54,920 –> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: be able to find and locate and nowhere macin Fuller

617
00:31:58,320 –> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: is on every snap. Both of those guys are so

618
00:32:02,200 –> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: phenomenal at making big plays. They’re big, big, big primetime players.

619
00:32:07,280 –> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: But then also you have to turn around and you

620
00:32:08,760 –> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: have to know where where you can attack. You can

621
00:32:11,120 –> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: attack the Prince from Nebraska, and you can attack Pierre Lewis,

622
00:32:15,880 –> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: even though he was a guy that served his time

623
00:32:17,800 –> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: here in the Kingdom, he’s moved on. He’s not a

624
00:32:21,080 –> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: true starting quality linebacker, and he if he has some detriments,

625
00:32:27,000 –> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: if he has some weaknesses, it’s the coverage ability he does.

626
00:32:29,760 –> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: He attacks to run well, he’s a striker, he’s a thumper.

627
00:32:32,360 –> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: He hits, he shards, but his coverage he loses his

628
00:32:35,840 –> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: leverage on anger routes. He can’t, you know, follow receivers,

629
00:32:40,040 –> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: running backs beyond five yards, so he gets lost in

630
00:32:42,920 –> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: coverage sometimes. So I think those two positions is where

631
00:32:46,320 –> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: Coach Reid’s staff and the offensive philosophy can I mean

632
00:32:49,680 –> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: time and time again when they need a first down,

633
00:32:51,680 –> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: we talk about how effective Kelsey is and you’re talking

634
00:32:54,280 –> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: about a guy named Pierre Lewis trying to cover a

635
00:32:57,040 –> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: guy like Kelsey coming as hot as he is. That’s

636
00:33:00,360 –> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: the first day and whenever you want it, and they

637
00:33:02,840 –> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: just don’t have the speed on the back end to

638
00:33:04,400 –> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: be able to stay up with the chita. All right,

639
00:33:06,360 –> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: final thing, we’re going a little bit overtime here, So

640
00:33:08,760 –> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: we’re overtime of this edition of the Defending the Kingdom podcast.

641
00:33:12,880 –> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: Familiarity breeds respect dealing with disciples, and it has to

642
00:33:16,240 –> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: deal with special teams. I can’t just let it go

643
00:33:18,320 –> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: because Cordell Patterson is setting back there taking back kicks

644
00:33:21,200 –> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears. If you want to just hey,

645
00:33:23,440 –> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: why are you going there? Go back and watch the

646
00:33:25,600 –> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. His kick return got everything started for

647
00:33:30,560 –> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: New England. The chance there’s a chance to tackle him

648
00:33:33,240 –> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: at the fifteen. We went back this, well, this is

649
00:33:34,960 –> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: a summertime thing. You and I talked about this. There

650
00:33:37,560 –> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: was a chance to tackle him at the fifteen. Patterson

651
00:33:40,160 –> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: got loose and got to the thirty eight. When I’m

652
00:33:42,280 –> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: calling the play by player this game shop in my mind,

653
00:33:45,080 –> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: all the calculations are going on him. How much better

654
00:33:48,520 –> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: now the Patriots chance to score is from the fifteen,

655
00:33:51,200 –> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: which I don’t think they would have scored to the

656
00:33:53,160 –> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 1: thirty eighth where that thing started. Cordell Patterson can be

657
00:33:56,520 –> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: a game wrecker as a returner. He’s got a one

658
00:33:59,400 –> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: hundred and two yard kickoff return for a touchdown this season.

659
00:34:02,640 –> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: Former Hutch Blue Dragon been around from the Chief Kingdom

660
00:34:05,960 –> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: playing juco ball. But this guy now has to be

661
00:34:08,560 –> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: accounted for because Cordell Patterson wants to take every kick

662
00:34:12,080 –> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: he can find to the house. Yeah, Coach Tobes is

663
00:34:14,160 –> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 1: I mean he’s gonna take it personal because it’s a

664
00:34:15,719 –> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: family affair, UM, not only his person, not only by

665
00:34:19,920 –> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: being the father business family affair because he used to

666
00:34:21,960 –> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: be back with the Bears himself. So uh, he wants

667
00:34:24,200 –> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: to go there and show um how much his his

668
00:34:26,840 –> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: his special teams has progressed and been able to be

669
00:34:28,840 –> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: a difference maker. You know, the Bears Special Team is

670
00:34:31,440 –> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of pride at uh trying to

671
00:34:34,719 –> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: come in there and and and and put a little

672
00:34:37,160 –> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: put put a little dullness on coach Tobes shine when

673
00:34:40,760 –> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: it comes to being one of the premier special teams

674
00:34:43,160 –> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 1: coaches in the league UM over the last decade. UM.

675
00:34:47,000 –> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: But I think we have the return guys UM. Obviously

676
00:34:50,239 –> 00:34:55,439
Speaker 1: congratulations to McCole Hartman being voted UM returned Pro Bowl

677
00:34:55,480 –> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: player Jet Fuel. We got a number of guys that

678
00:34:58,200 –> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: can get back there and do some things. I think

679
00:35:00,880 –> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: the one phase of our special teams that people having

680
00:35:03,320 –> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: get really given the credit to is our blocks to

681
00:35:06,600 –> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: be able to block kicks, block field goals, block punts. Um.

682
00:35:11,760 –> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: We’re getting a lot of pressure that it’s just that

683
00:35:14,680 –> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: cloth fingernail away from being a big play turnover. So

684
00:35:18,600 –> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: I think that that might be the phase of our

685
00:35:20,320 –> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: special teams that we see get unleashed Sunday night versus

686
00:35:24,360 –> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: the Bears. May win this week, all right. He’s sean
