Speaker 1: sixty vodka. All right, barbershop. Terrific scene on Sunday when

25
00:01:31,760 –> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: I closed the broadcast out and people have seen a

26
00:01:34,440 –> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: NAT’s gone viral. But I really thought, how do I

27
00:01:37,440 –> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: capture fifty years and four sentences? And it involved Lamar

28
00:01:41,440 –> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: Hunt because he changed you know everything about Kansas City

29
00:01:44,760 –> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs kingdom. But to win the Lamar Hunt

30
00:01:48,120 –> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: Trophy in the stadium that Lamar Hunt was his dream

31
00:01:53,960 –> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: and to be the team founded by Lamar Hunt, it

32
00:01:56,280 –> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: was a moment. I mean, he’s he’s he’s a Visionary’s

33
00:01:59,520 –> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: he’s still. I don’t say he was, because he’s currently still.

34
00:02:02,200 –> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: His legend is living on. If you walk through our

35
00:02:04,400 –> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: practice city, walks through the stadium. Um, his his his statues,

36
00:02:07,920 –> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: his sayings, his pictures. Um, you’re immersed in Kansas City history.

37
00:02:12,919 –> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: And that’s not by mistake. His legend, the tradition of

38
00:02:17,040 –> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: the Lamar Hunt Trophy, and his family and everything they’ve

39
00:02:20,240 –> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: done for not only Kansas City but for athletics in general.

40
00:02:24,440 –> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: For our nation. Is it’s storied, it’s a it’s it’s

41
00:02:28,280 –> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: an unbelievable amount of contribution to man, one single man

42
00:02:31,440 –> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: is made for sports in general to take leaps and bounds.

43
00:02:36,120 –> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: But when you listen to our podcasts, we have twenty

44
00:02:38,840 –> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: weeks from the season of building this thing, preparing, showing

45
00:02:44,840 –> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: them the offense, defense, what moves are being made. We

46
00:02:48,080 –> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: also have a few weeks of preseason during training camp,

47
00:02:51,560 –> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: so we talk about um, the AFC Championship, gaming, what

48
00:02:55,520 –> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: was what it meant to win that it was a

49
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: culmination of so much hard work from everybody in this

50
00:03:02,040 –> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: organization to continue to build this team. Believe in coach

51
00:03:06,120 –> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: Andy Reid’s vision, believe in the defensive vision of coach Bagnola.

52
00:03:10,120 –> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: But it continues to grind and work and have an

53
00:03:13,080 –> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: understanding of coming to work every day with a positive mentality.

54
00:03:17,240 –> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: Knowing with with PM fifteen, with showtime, mahomes at the

55
00:03:23,160 –> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: head of the you know, being the captain of this ship.

56
00:03:25,480 –> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: There there is no team, no team that we effaced

57
00:03:29,720 –> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: here there, anywhere, no matter what the location. This team

58
00:03:33,760 –> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: is built to win and win now the title. Because

59
00:03:37,920 –> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: of that, and that’s this has been a long climb

60
00:03:40,320 –> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: and we have compared it to a climb up killed

61
00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: him on Jaro. We were on prior to training camp.

62
00:03:45,280 –> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: We were talking about Mahomes’s next step and he’s done it.

63
00:03:47,800 –> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: He’s done exactly that of what we talked about. But

64
00:03:51,160 –> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: the focus of this podcast, it’s going to be entitled

65
00:03:54,360 –> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: I can see the Summit from here, the final climb,

66
00:03:58,040 –> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: And I’m gonna write a book on this season. It’s

67
00:04:00,760 –> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: going to be a Kingdom climb. That’s gonna be the

68
00:04:03,480 –> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: that’s gonna be the title of it. Because if people

69
00:04:06,680 –> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: just kind of said I’m gonna binge on these podcasts

70
00:04:09,080 –> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: and drive from I don’t know across the country, they

71
00:04:13,160 –> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: will hear this climb and just you put it so

72
00:04:16,520 –> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: very well. But this is going to be I can

73
00:04:19,400 –> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: see the Summit from here, the final climb. Now people

74
00:04:22,080 –> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: are excited. And before we jump into this game against

75
00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, you and I had the chance

76
00:04:27,279 –> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: to beat the University of Kansas Health System earlier for

77
00:04:29,520 –> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: a PEP rally and that was phenomenal. It was just

78
00:04:32,240 –> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: it was a microcosm of what’s being felt throughout the

79
00:04:35,320 –> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: whole Kingdom, where we saw a whole health system, I

80
00:04:39,480 –> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: don’t know how many employees were there, but just when

81
00:04:41,880 –> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: nuts people are ready for this and have waited for

82
00:04:44,240 –> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: this sum for fifty years. Yeah. We talked about what

83
00:04:46,720 –> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: the pillars of our organization and how that partnership with

84
00:04:51,240 –> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: the Health University of Kansas Health System has grown through

85
00:04:54,480 –> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: the years, and how it was almost God sent Andy

86
00:04:58,920 –> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: Reid coming here seven years ago and now that partnership

87
00:05:02,160 –> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: and how both organizations have created a win win scenario. Right.

88
00:05:06,880 –> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: We talked about the how the Kancity Chiefs have learned

89
00:05:10,080 –> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: how to win with character as a reflection of their

90
00:05:12,560 –> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: head coach. How they also honor tradition and you see

91
00:05:16,400 –> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: that by the sea of read our fan base coming

92
00:05:18,760 –> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: to how we pack Arrowhead Stadium weekly, every event, anytime

93
00:05:23,080 –> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: there’s a player, any place, rally housing, no matter where

94
00:05:26,160 –> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: you are doing them. You have an amazing fan base

95
00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: to your Kingdom Show on Monday Night, all those different names,

96
00:05:32,920 –> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: those those superheroes that come to watch your Kingdom Show.

97
00:05:36,040 –> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: That’s the way they honor tradition. And then we inspire

98
00:05:39,760 –> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: the fans. Mark Donovan, the general manager, Bread Beach, the

99
00:05:44,200 –> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: players they’ve surrounded and acquired throughout the year, inspiration to

100
00:05:49,560 –> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: the fan base to come and then my role, one

101
00:05:52,680 –> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: of our roles as alumni Kansas City Ambassadors is to

102
00:05:56,400 –> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: unite our community. And today when we was at that

103
00:06:00,040 –> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: pep rally, that was just one example of us uniting

104
00:06:03,360 –> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: our community, showing how everybody plays a piece and when

105
00:06:07,120 –> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: we win, we all win. And you could just feel it.

106
00:06:11,800 –> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: And now the team gets ready to go. As we

107
00:06:14,040 –> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: sat in that pep rally, it’s pivot time. You pivot

108
00:06:16,240 –> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: from a celebration of winning an AFC championship and you

109
00:06:19,400 –> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 1: pivot with full throttle an all sites set on the

110
00:06:22,400 –> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers our first quarter of this podcast,

111
00:06:26,960 –> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: and we’re gonna deal here with the We’re gonna this

112
00:06:28,800 –> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: will probably sprinkle over into the second quarter here too,

113
00:06:31,440 –> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: but it deals with the line of scrimmage. Andy Reid

114
00:06:34,279 –> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: talked about it the very first year, went to the

115
00:06:36,440 –> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: playoffs in twenty thirteen with him, he goes the line

116
00:06:38,920 –> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and I’m gonna micro this down to the

117
00:06:42,320 –> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: forty nine or defensive line. With five number one draft picks,

118
00:06:46,360 –> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: fifty seven sacks this season. That includes the regular season

119
00:06:51,200 –> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: and the postseason where they just decimated Minnesota. They also

120
00:06:55,279 –> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: sacked Aaron Rodgers three times, but they had forty eight

121
00:06:58,120 –> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: regular season sacks, five number one draft picks against a

122
00:07:01,240 –> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: Chief’s offensive line. Barbershop. I think that old line of

123
00:07:04,640 –> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs has gone to another level. I’m not certainly

124
00:07:06,680 –> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: they’re not two levels higher than they were playing a

125
00:07:09,040 –> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: month ago. Guys like Austin Ryder is playing the best

126
00:07:11,320 –> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: football of his career in the playoffs. Stefan Wisnowski has

127
00:07:15,280 –> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: been a godsend to come to this team. He won

128
00:07:17,040 –> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: a super Bowl title in the seventeen season with the Eagles. Fisher.

129
00:07:21,520 –> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs are undefeated with Fisher, they’re eleven and oh when

130
00:07:24,000 –> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: Fisher is on the field. And Schwartz was wiping out

131
00:07:26,920 –> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: dudes the other day in the Canadian Doctor, as I

132
00:07:29,080 –> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: said today, at that Pepprow the University of Kansas Hill

133
00:07:31,320 –> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: system is making his rounds. But when he makes his rounds,

134
00:07:35,400 –> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: he’s not checking your blood pressure. Or he might, but

135
00:07:38,080 –> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: after he pancakes you. So you have this strong battle

136
00:07:42,600 –> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: in the trenches. Your thoughts on these great defensive front

137
00:07:47,280 –> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: of San Francisco against a very highly confident and physical

138
00:07:52,160 –> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: offensive line of the Chiefs. Well, what we do is,

139
00:07:54,320 –> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: you know we do we do shifts in motions. We

140
00:07:56,120 –> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: do things to get you get your eyes off of

141
00:07:58,600 –> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: your target, which files our offensive line to protect slightly

142
00:08:02,600 –> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: better than most. Um. We we do a great job

143
00:08:05,640 –> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: of protecting the pocket. We understand where Pat Pat is

144
00:08:09,320 –> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: a great scrambler, he has great mobility, but we know

145
00:08:12,160 –> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: that if we can keep him upright, we keep keep

146
00:08:14,400 –> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: the pressures in the sacks at an all time low.

147
00:08:17,160 –> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: That allows his creativity and his vision to remain down

148
00:08:21,520 –> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: the field. And that’s where Pat is at his best,

149
00:08:23,840 –> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: his vision beyond twenty yards, being able to throw the

150
00:08:26,520 –> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: deep ball pinpoint the corner of the end zones, pinpoint,

151
00:08:30,280 –> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: first downs, keep the ball moving his vision is. It

152
00:08:33,679 –> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: puts him in the category of his own um. Not

153
00:08:35,920 –> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: to mention his arm, talent, everything else he does so great.

154
00:08:38,280 –> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: But offensive line they do a great job of of

155
00:08:41,920 –> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: really setting their anchors um. They get set, they punch,

156
00:08:46,040 –> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: they fight, they claw, but they do it without holding.

157
00:08:49,960 –> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: They’re able to withstand the pocket and stay on blocks

158
00:08:54,240 –> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: and stay protecting the pocket after a three or four account.

159
00:08:57,520 –> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Most teams, you just know a yellow flag is gonna

160
00:08:59,480 –> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: be somewhere in the Not with this offense, this offensive

161
00:09:03,559 –> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: front line is doing a great job of playing with

162
00:09:05,640 –> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: their feet, their hands, their eyes. They communicate well, they

163
00:09:09,640 –> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: pass off stunts and what we’ll see from this de line,

164
00:09:12,320 –> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: like you said, it’s a bunch of first round. They’re

165
00:09:14,280 –> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: very athletic. They have two guys at a six seven,

166
00:09:16,960 –> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds, so they’re tall. They try to get

167
00:09:19,280 –> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: their hands on batted balls and we take we just

168
00:09:22,040 –> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: down said they almost had fifty sacks on the season.

169
00:09:24,840 –> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: Now if you add another fifty quarterback, I mean that’s

170
00:09:27,280 –> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: almost one hundred times a quarterback is under under pressure

171
00:09:31,520 –> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: based off of just their front four. And that’s not

172
00:09:34,040 –> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: even talking about the blitz game of the pressure game.

173
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: That’s just a straight four men rush, and they have

174
00:09:38,960 –> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: the capabilities and the bodies to rotate guys in and

175
00:09:43,040 –> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: keep that front four fresh. What we need to do

176
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: with office line, like we said, lad, we got to protect,

177
00:09:49,280 –> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: but then we have to pay on these guys. Bolsa

178
00:09:51,880 –> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: has a hurt hit pointer the ford. We know at

179
00:09:55,160 –> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: times that he’s growing and stuff acts up on him.

180
00:09:58,800 –> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: But we have a chance to lay on these guys.

181
00:10:01,200 –> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: This is it, this is the game you’ve been waiting for.

182
00:10:03,920 –> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: To let out a little bit of frustrate a little

183
00:10:06,200 –> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: bit anger, It’ll be a little you’re gonna walk on

184
00:10:09,360 –> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: the dark side. This is the game to do it.

185
00:10:11,920 –> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: And again Solomon Thomas, De Forrest Buckner, Eric Armstead all

186
00:10:15,559 –> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: first round picks on the San Francisco defensive front. We’ll

187
00:10:19,640 –> 00:10:22,079
Speaker 1: touch on the other trenches flipping around later, but we’re

188
00:10:22,120 –> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: gonna go into the second quarter now of this podcast,

189
00:10:24,480 –> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: which we’re entitled. I can see the summit from here,

190
00:10:27,720 –> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: which is the final climb, and the Chiefs have a

191
00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: chance to win their first Supper Bowl in fifty seasons

192
00:10:34,200 –> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: by taking on and beating the San Francisco forty nine ers.

193
00:10:37,320 –> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: And the second part really deals with Patrick Mahomes and

194
00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 1: the match up here against Jimmy Garoppolo. Honestly, here’s a

195
00:10:44,520 –> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: kid that’s twenty four years old. You look at what’s

196
00:10:47,040 –> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: happened in the last two seasons in a game when

197
00:10:50,080 –> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: he played that final game in twenty seventeen. But with

198
00:10:53,240 –> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes at twenty four years old, honestly, barbershop, this

199
00:10:58,640 –> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: is the last box to check. Yeah, this is he’s

200
00:11:01,400 –> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: won divisions, he has, He’s dominated division uh in two years,

201
00:11:06,720 –> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: he’s been twenty five and seven as a starting quarterback,

202
00:11:09,920 –> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: he’s put up big numbers, but he’s proven this year

203
00:11:12,120 –> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: this has been or thesis. He can win when it’s snowy, windy, water,

204
00:11:16,280 –> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: grass field. He can throw, he can run it, he

205
00:11:19,480 –> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: can He’s done everything the two boxes would be super

206
00:11:22,679 –> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: Bowl MVP, super Bowl champion and at a young age

207
00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: of twenty four, he’s got a shot at doing that. Man,

208
00:11:27,920 –> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: and the most, the most credit and most you know,

209
00:11:31,160 –> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: it’s his humbleness. The way he goes about his day

210
00:11:34,200 –> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: to day is always trying to improve, always trying to

211
00:11:37,440 –> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: get better, and always self diagnosed, having having having a

212
00:11:42,000 –> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: look at himself and realize, hey, I threw you know,

213
00:11:44,679 –> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: forty yards five touchdowns, but what are the passes I missed? Where?

214
00:11:49,200 –> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: Where did I throw it? A little bit low, too high?

215
00:11:51,840 –> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Which passed was a little bit behind the receiver. And

216
00:11:54,200 –> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: I think even in the last game, he had a

217
00:11:55,840 –> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: tremendous game, led the Boys leadership out out out the rule.

218
00:12:00,679 –> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: But when you look at the way that game ended

219
00:12:03,120 –> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: late in the game, when it was time to let

220
00:12:04,679 –> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: that clock run and he threw that ball away, you

221
00:12:06,880 –> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: can see him like, oh, mad at himself or not

222
00:12:09,920 –> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: maybe just taking the saxons. Who’s gonna punt in anyway

223
00:12:12,120 –> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: to allow a little more clock to runoffs, so they

224
00:12:14,280 –> 00:12:18,479
Speaker 1: make the Titans use the time out those little nuances

225
00:12:18,720 –> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: when you are good and you’re trying to be great,

226
00:12:22,000 –> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: he doesn’t let everybody else’s pats on the back, all

227
00:12:25,559 –> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: the accolades, whether it’s good morning America football or Dion saying,

228
00:12:30,400 –> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: or whoever it is, hey man, you’re great, You’re good.

229
00:12:33,480 –> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: He understands what he needs to do to take this team,

230
00:12:36,360 –> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: lead this team to the next level, whatever that next

231
00:12:38,880 –> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: level is, whether it’s super Bowl champion, whether it’s defending

232
00:12:42,160 –> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: your super Bowl, whether it’s a starting of dynasty, closing

233
00:12:46,400 –> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: out of dynasty, whatever needs to be done for this

234
00:12:49,440 –> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: organization to continue to climb, be trending upward, continue to

235
00:12:53,559 –> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: ascend up that mountain. I think that he is willing

236
00:12:57,400 –> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: to accept that role and do it at a high,

237
00:12:59,559 –> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: high level. And he understands how much perseverance, commitment, sacrifice.

238
00:13:04,720 –> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: He understands those three things more than anyone else in

239
00:13:07,400 –> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: this building. It’s impressive. The other thing, it’s impressive. He’s

240
00:13:10,280 –> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: seen every defensive coverage known to man. The people are

241
00:13:13,040 –> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: throwing the kitchen sink at this kid, and we saw

242
00:13:15,480 –> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: the last double hill and Kelsey, Now what he gonna

243
00:13:18,320 –> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: do and we’re just gonna grab him, pull him down?

244
00:13:20,200 –> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: And what a he gonna do? Well, I’ll use Watkins,

245
00:13:22,080 –> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: I’ll use Damian william I’ll you know, I’ll take off running.

246
00:13:25,800 –> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: And so he’s seeing man man’s own combo showing him

247
00:13:30,400 –> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: man on the snap, and then it goes to his

248
00:13:32,160 –> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: own showing him own. Then it goes to man his

249
00:13:34,520 –> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 1: ability to recognize and realize and react. And I was

250
00:13:38,120 –> 00:13:41,359
Speaker 1: talking with coach read about it earlier this week is uncanny.

251
00:13:41,480 –> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Now forty nine Ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has got some

252
00:13:44,880 –> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City tie in here. First of all, people will

253
00:13:48,000 –> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: forget his first ever NFL appearance was in Kansas City

254
00:13:52,280 –> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen. The Chiefs are blowing out the New England

255
00:13:54,840 –> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: Patriots forty one to fourteen, and that’s the night where

256
00:13:58,320 –> 00:14:00,679
Speaker 1: people said, well, maybe Brady’s done, came back to win

257
00:14:01,320 –> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: more world titles. But Brady gets pulled. Garoppolo comes in,

258
00:14:04,920 –> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: he goes six for seven and has a thirteen yard

259
00:14:07,960 –> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: touchdown Pastor Gronkowski. The other one was the regular season

260
00:14:11,600 –> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 1: game game three week three last year, forty nine Ers

261
00:14:14,720 –> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs two hundred fifty one yards passing a

262
00:14:18,040 –> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns that Garoppolo through He tore his AHL

263
00:14:21,400 –> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: in that game was out for the year. Jimmy Garoppolo

264
00:14:24,200 –> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 1: a talented player. Remember there was discussion at one point

265
00:14:27,520 –> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: that New England would move on from Tom Brady and

266
00:14:29,880 –> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: used Jimmy Garoppolo. But here he is for the forty

267
00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: nine ers in the Super Bowl fifty four. Yeah. I

268
00:14:34,600 –> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: think everybody talks about that term play manager right when

269
00:14:38,120 –> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: when you hit it. Game manager used in the position

270
00:14:41,000 –> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: of quarterback is usually a negative. I think he’s found

271
00:14:44,440 –> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: a way to do that in a positive way. He

272
00:14:45,960 –> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: understands the strength of that team is the running game.

273
00:14:48,280 –> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: He understands that he has some phenomenal talented receivers with Deebo,

274
00:14:51,680 –> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: Samuel’s Emmanuel, Emmanuel Sanders and also my man, you know,

275
00:14:56,680 –> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: Skittles Kittles, So he has three weapons running routes. But

276
00:15:01,560 –> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: but it’s that running game is the usage of that fullback,

277
00:15:04,280 –> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: the way they interject that fullback into the line of

278
00:15:07,320 –> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: scrimms to create an extra gap. Um and their running

279
00:15:09,920 –> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: backs have a down hill mentality. Um they run it hard,

280
00:15:13,840 –> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: they run it fast, and they run it often and

281
00:15:15,960 –> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: to think a quarterback in this day in time win

282
00:15:19,320 –> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: a postseason game with under ten pass attempts. That that

283
00:15:22,920 –> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: that’s that’s almost ridiculous. That’s that’s unfathomable to even that’s

284
00:15:26,680 –> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: like one drive. That’s what it’s like. One drive. It’s

285
00:15:29,560 –> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: like a twelve play drive. And they threw it eight times,

286
00:15:31,760 –> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: eight times in a championship game. The amount of things

287
00:15:34,840 –> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: that beyond you know, uh X and those they had

288
00:15:38,440 –> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: to go right for a play caller to be able

289
00:15:41,520 –> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: to only call uh less than ten pass plays and

290
00:15:46,720 –> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: win a ball game running away, not even close. Um,

291
00:15:50,320 –> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: I don’t I don’t think that that personally. I don’t

292
00:15:51,960 –> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: think either game they’ve played against the Vikings or against

293
00:15:55,640 –> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers has then has done them justice

294
00:15:59,480 –> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: to prepare them for what they are about to see

295
00:16:01,080 –> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: with Kansas City Pat Mahomes in the offensive play call

296
00:16:05,040 –> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: in the win Coach Andy Reid. So we’re at halftime

297
00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: of this edition of our Defending the Kingdom podcast getting

298
00:16:10,840 –> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: ready for the Super Bowl, entitled The Final Climb. I

299
00:16:14,000 –> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: can see the summit from here, and here we go.

300
00:16:17,080 –> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: This is your halftime boom, and now we go to

301
00:16:19,880 –> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and it deals to me with perfecting

302
00:16:23,040 –> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: the peak, meaning how do you win this game and

303
00:16:25,560 –> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: handle all of the distractions? How do you handle the

304
00:16:27,640 –> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: next as you hear this basically the next ten days

305
00:16:31,640 –> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: in prepping for the forty nine ers. Any Reid’s been

306
00:16:35,440 –> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: in this game, he’s been a round thug game for

307
00:16:37,360 –> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: a long time. But he was actually coached in this game,

308
00:16:39,760 –> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: and Kyle Shanahan did too at the end of the

309
00:16:41,880 –> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen season. He’s the offensive coordinator for the Falcons

310
00:16:44,680 –> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: when they lost that big lead against the New England Patriots.

311
00:16:48,120 –> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: But you’ve been played in the league for ten years.

312
00:16:51,520 –> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: It’s been overwhelming, Barbershop. I’m just gonna tell you, my

313
00:16:54,040 –> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: little bitty part of the world. I’m a speck on

314
00:16:56,160 –> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: the in the universe. I’m a little starway out there

315
00:16:58,400 –> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: that you can barely see. Dude, I’m telling you, it

316
00:17:01,400 –> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: has been overwhelming. Requests, appearances, Can you do this? Can

317
00:17:05,119 –> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 1: you do that? Everyone wants to capture it. But as

318
00:17:07,560 –> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: a player and as a coach, how do you handle

319
00:17:11,200 –> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: this too? Because it’s still all of this other stuff

320
00:17:13,640 –> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: on the outside, it’s a sixty minute football game for

321
00:17:16,440 –> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: the smoke man. Any retails you from day one coming

322
00:17:19,119 –> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: here and his job is the head coach, is to

323
00:17:21,000 –> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: create an environment for you to learn, environment for you

324
00:17:23,720 –> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: to come in and do your job, become the best

325
00:17:26,119 –> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: football player and the best leader, the best part of

326
00:17:29,920 –> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: this community that you can be while you’re here. Part

327
00:17:32,400 –> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: of doing that is him understanding all the noise, all

328
00:17:35,160 –> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: the distractions, and in creating an environment that tries to

329
00:17:39,119 –> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: decrease those stress levels allow God to come in and

330
00:17:41,880 –> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: go to work. But he also asked the players to

331
00:17:44,240 –> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: make sure the day once the game was over last week,

332
00:17:47,760 –> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: we’re gonna give you a few days handle all your

333
00:17:50,000 –> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: travel arrangements, hand to everybody all the tickets thing. So

334
00:17:53,080 –> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: when you come into the building on Wednesday and we

335
00:17:55,000 –> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: start game planning, like, let’s be ready to refocus and

336
00:17:58,560 –> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: be ready to take care of business. No more. We’re

337
00:18:01,440 –> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: out of the making plans arrangement. We’re out of the

338
00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: cousins and families and friends want to make last second

339
00:18:08,760 –> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: hotel arrangements, or somebody wants to throw a party with

340
00:18:12,200 –> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: your name on it. It’s a business trip. You gotta

341
00:18:15,800 –> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: go be ready to take care of business first and foremost,

342
00:18:19,520 –> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: and not every team is capable of doing that, and

343
00:18:21,680 –> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: that every team has the leadership and the personnel to

344
00:18:25,920 –> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: be able to know, you know how big it’s going

345
00:18:28,200 –> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: to be, going to radio row, all the weird questions,

346
00:18:32,040 –> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: all the different practice schedules that you need to go through,

347
00:18:34,680 –> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: because once the game kicks off once again, it’s just

348
00:18:38,080 –> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 1: another football game. Yeah, these guys just chance to the

349
00:18:40,920 –> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: Chief’s team. We’ve talked about it before. Just incredible ability

350
00:18:43,800 –> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 1: to focus. We talk about mental and emotional toughness. A

351
00:18:47,240 –> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 1: lot has to do with focusing no matter what and

352
00:18:50,000 –> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 1: treading it. Yeah, it’s not any other game. It’s like

353
00:18:52,200 –> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: the biggest event on the planet for the whole year.

354
00:18:55,160 –> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: But it’s still boil stay unto football and doing your

355
00:18:58,280 –> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: job and doing it well and trying to beat this

356
00:19:00,760 –> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: really good forty nine er team. Uh. To me, it’s

357
00:19:03,760 –> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: been interesting because I think the Chiefs are putting in

358
00:19:06,480 –> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: the bulk of their game plan as a regular work week,

359
00:19:09,400 –> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 1: as if the game was this Sunday, meaning a Wednesday,

360
00:19:12,160 –> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: a Thursday, a Friday, a Saturday. To put in the

361
00:19:15,760 –> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: game plan and wrap it Sunday we fly to Miami. UM.

362
00:19:19,520 –> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: But then during the week there’s a lot of distractions,

363
00:19:22,440 –> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: but at least your bulk of your homework is in

364
00:19:24,720 –> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: your notebook and then you just kind of refine it.

365
00:19:27,440 –> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: So it’s interesting to see that approach. I think it’s

366
00:19:29,240 –> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: fairly common to do it now, but any Reid knows

367
00:19:31,960 –> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: and to tell the guys, no, you have got it.

368
00:19:34,320 –> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: I know we’re ten days from playing, but you got

369
00:19:36,560 –> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: to act like we’re playing this Sunday. Yeah, prepare the

370
00:19:38,720 –> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: team mensely to to go. Prepare them like it’s like

371
00:19:41,600 –> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: you’re saying, like the game is this Sunday. So if

372
00:19:44,040 –> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: they want to do a mock game, they want to

373
00:19:45,720 –> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: get together as a group of dbs and watch film

374
00:19:47,720 –> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: and watch it together. They know what the game plan is. Linebackers,

375
00:19:50,600 –> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: we can make calls, we get our front set, m

376
00:19:52,920 –> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: D line you can you know, envisioning your fronts in

377
00:19:55,440 –> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: your stunts and your your games going against um as

378
00:19:59,200 –> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: you you you create a cut up, You create a

379
00:20:01,920 –> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: cut up that of their top twenty plays they’ve run,

380
00:20:05,760 –> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: and you figure out how are you going to defend

381
00:20:07,720 –> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: all these twenty plays? And then you have somebody to

382
00:20:10,000 –> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: create twenty plays that you’ve never even seen before and

383
00:20:13,160 –> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: think about okay, defensively, this is not something they usually do,

384
00:20:15,840 –> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: but if they was to do this, if the footback

385
00:20:17,760 –> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: was a leak out on the backside. Who would pick

386
00:20:19,800 –> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 1: him up? And the tight end was to run a

387
00:20:22,240 –> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: triple move Dino and then cut up, cut up for

388
00:20:26,480 –> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: the post. Then who would pick him? Who be there

389
00:20:28,680 –> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: to acquire that guy? You go through all these scenarios

390
00:20:31,359 –> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: as would it could have showed us because being create

391
00:20:34,400 –> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: you know that you have a creative mind on the

392
00:20:36,280 –> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: other side of the ball. And no matter what the

393
00:20:39,000 –> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: game situation, no matter what the score is, he’s going

394
00:20:41,680 –> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: to continue to create different matchup problems. He’s going to

395
00:20:45,240 –> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: create different blocking schemes to try to displace our defensive

396
00:20:48,800 –> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 1: lineing linebackers, to create running lanes. And every time we

397
00:20:51,960 –> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: stop him, he’s never gonna stop creating something new. He’s

398
00:20:54,640 –> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: gonna always keep turning the page trying to continue to

399
00:20:57,680 –> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: get that running game going. Because I think that means

400
00:21:00,119 –> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: you both know that they don’t want it to come

401
00:21:01,760 –> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: down to a Garoppolo Birth’s Mahomes matchup. You ever see

402
00:21:05,840 –> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: Apolo thirteen in the movie? Yeah, yeah, all right, So

403
00:21:08,640 –> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: think of that scene. I get said Harris, like, if

404
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: we’re gonna get him back, right, we’re not gonna let

405
00:21:12,640 –> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: him go out there and float to Mars and die.

406
00:21:15,760 –> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: When you were talking there and listening to you, I

407
00:21:18,119 –> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: am reminding of one of them. Reminded of one of

408
00:21:20,160 –> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: the strengths and assets of this Kansas City Chiefs team

409
00:21:23,359 –> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 1: from a football standpoint, and that is all those like

410
00:21:26,280 –> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: NASA scientists setting in those chairs. There’s a whole bunch

411
00:21:29,920 –> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: of those guys for Kansas City. I think of a

412
00:21:32,200 –> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: Mike Frazier and others. I wish I could introduce them

413
00:21:34,960 –> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: all to the Chiefs Kingdom sometime because they are the

414
00:21:39,359 –> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: guys that are coming up with the twenty players you

415
00:21:41,240 –> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: didn’t think of. San Francisco has done this or that,

416
00:21:43,640 –> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: if you know this, or what if they tried this.

417
00:21:45,920 –> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: I mean, there’s the infrastructure of this team, not just

418
00:21:49,160 –> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: the on field coaches, but the ancillary folks is outstanding.

419
00:21:54,960 –> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: It’s I think it’s the best in the NFL. Yeah,

420
00:21:56,960 –> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: the support group with our coaching staff. When you talk

421
00:21:59,160 –> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: about Shu, you talk about thinking of things that haven’t

422
00:22:02,080 –> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: happened and might happen. We all understand this league is

423
00:22:05,480 –> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: a copycat league, and what people see happen from an

424
00:22:09,560 –> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: offensive defensive conceptual standpoint a week before, or things you

425
00:22:13,640 –> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: struggle a week before those things are going to be

426
00:22:15,960 –> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: tested this you know, during the Super Bowl, they’re going

427
00:22:18,280 –> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: to see if you’ve corrected any of your mistakes you’ve

428
00:22:20,920 –> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: had during the season, whether it’s gap control, communication coverage,

429
00:22:25,920 –> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: even on special teams, things that came up during the

430
00:22:28,080 –> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: Titans games some of the others games. They’re going to

431
00:22:30,240 –> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: test those things that make sure that that you corrected

432
00:22:33,160 –> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: them and those things are still not a glaring mistake

433
00:22:35,359 –> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: for you. But you have to be so so committed

434
00:22:39,600 –> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: to the process being of greater value than the product.

435
00:22:44,200 –> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: When you understand what the process is, you can submit

436
00:22:47,880 –> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: yourself to it. You you dedicate yourself to the to

437
00:22:50,920 –> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 1: the process because you’re not worried about what that ending

438
00:22:53,640 –> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: scoreboard is going to be. Because you know that this

439
00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 1: the way that the Kansas City Chiefs go about the

440
00:22:57,800 –> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: average work week, the amount of time those which to

441
00:23:00,280 –> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: spend studying and breaking down plays. When you get that

442
00:23:03,480 –> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: game plan, you are one hundred percent sure that game

443
00:23:06,880 –> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: plan is your way to victory. And if you play

444
00:23:10,880 –> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: and perform alignment assignment, dedicate yourself to a relentless pursuit

445
00:23:16,080 –> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: of the football on defense, execution on offense, making the catch,

446
00:23:20,640 –> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: protecting the football right I’m knowing the how to give

447
00:23:26,920 –> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: a little bit extra when it comes to go and

448
00:23:29,400 –> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: finishing the play, to make sure you’re around the ball

449
00:23:31,640 –> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: at all times, and then staying on the same page

450
00:23:35,960 –> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: as your quarterback. If he’s ready to get up on

451
00:23:38,400 –> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: the ball, were up on the ball. If he’s ready

452
00:23:39,800 –> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: to slow it down. He want to sugar hugger, we

453
00:23:41,720 –> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: sugar head. Whatever he’s doing, you gotta be in pace

454
00:23:44,240 –> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 1: with him. You can’t let the flashes and the bright

455
00:23:46,960 –> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: lights and the long halftime at all those things are ancillary.

456
00:23:51,400 –> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: All those things are just distractions from what is the

457
00:23:54,280 –> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: main thing. The main thing has been the main thing

458
00:23:56,359 –> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: since Andy Reeves got here, is to win a Super Bowl.

459
00:24:00,280 –> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: If you’re going to win, it went end today. I’ve

460
00:24:02,240 –> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: heard and I’ve heard people say it, but this guy’s

461
00:24:04,600 –> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: But to me, it is why the Chiefs have won consistently,

462
00:24:08,160 –> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: and how they’ve handled why they’ve handled flashpoints when things

463
00:24:11,200 –> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: that could have derailed the train every year since he’s

464
00:24:13,320 –> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: been or either something big or something small, or this

465
00:24:15,800 –> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: year with all of the adversity, We’ve talked about it,

466
00:24:17,560 –> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 1: and go back and listen to the other podcast. What

467
00:24:19,840 –> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: you described, I think is why Andy Reid is able

468
00:24:22,840 –> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: to handle the critical situations and keep the train on

469
00:24:26,920 –> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: the track because it’s a very steady approach and even

470
00:24:29,400 –> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: just his four pillars of eliminate distractions and create energy

471
00:24:32,400 –> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: and attack everything. Fear nothing is there’s just postulists that

472
00:24:37,760 –> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: run through the building that it’s a way of doing business.

473
00:24:40,720 –> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: So well put, now we go to the fourth quarter.

474
00:24:43,160 –> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: And to me, this is something that’s really interesting because

475
00:24:45,960 –> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: many times in the Super Bowl with the AFC against

476
00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: the NFC, you’re only playing one NFC division every four years,

477
00:24:53,160 –> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: So there’s times like I’m trying to I mean, we

478
00:24:55,480 –> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: haven’t seen like next year we’ll play the NFC South. Well,

479
00:25:00,160 –> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: we haven’t seen Carolina or Atlanta New Orleans since the

480
00:25:04,400 –> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen season, all right, that seems like fifty years ago.

481
00:25:09,560 –> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: But sometimes you’ll play them in the preseason. The Kansas

482
00:25:12,760 –> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: City Chiefs have only played the Green Bay Packers more

483
00:25:15,680 –> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: the last two years, with two preseason games in a

484
00:25:17,760 –> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: regular season game than the forty nine Ers. The third

485
00:25:21,359 –> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: preseason game this year narrow Head Stadium was against the

486
00:25:24,119 –> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, and people got to the preseason man,

487
00:25:26,200 –> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: they don’t count. I can’t play fantasy football. Why I would.

488
00:25:28,480 –> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: I pay attention to it, shop. I pay attention to

489
00:25:31,760 –> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: those games as much as I do the regular season

490
00:25:33,800 –> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: games because it gives me a time in a chance

491
00:25:35,920 –> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 1: to evaluate not only the opponent’s roster, what’s their framework,

492
00:25:39,720 –> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: what do they look like? Particularly that third preseason game.

493
00:25:42,840 –> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: I left Arrowheads Stadium on that August evening, respecting San

494
00:25:48,240 –> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 1: Francisco even more than I did in eighteen in the

495
00:25:51,160 –> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: game where Garoppolo got his knee torn up. This is

496
00:25:54,080 –> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: a good team. But I left the stadium that night

497
00:25:55,920 –> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: going if they get by the Seattle bugga boo, Right,

498
00:25:58,040 –> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: Seattle’s been there, bugaboo, they blew through the guys two

499
00:26:00,640 –> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: great games in the regular season, then they could be

500
00:26:04,000 –> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: a factor. Well factor here they are Chiefs forty nine ers.

501
00:26:07,520 –> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: The fact that you’ve played an NFC team a couple

502
00:26:10,280 –> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: of times in the last two years, how much does

503
00:26:12,440 –> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: that help the Chiefs man. It’s good to be familiar

504
00:26:14,359 –> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: with your opponent, right you want to be you know,

505
00:26:15,960 –> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: you keep your friends close, but you keep your enemies

506
00:26:18,000 –> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: even closer. I want to I want to know your

507
00:26:19,720 –> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: strengths and weaknesses. I want to know everything about you.

508
00:26:22,720 –> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: Um and and I know you know you look at

509
00:26:24,560 –> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: the size chart that shows a guy being six seven

510
00:26:27,200 –> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: three hundred, But until you actually get to see him

511
00:26:29,680 –> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: on the field and you get to eye him up

512
00:26:31,880 –> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: and you get to know, like, is that a Is

513
00:26:33,680 –> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: that a Tarzan or Jane? Is that? Is that? Is

514
00:26:35,760 –> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: that A? Is that a guy who brains it and

515
00:26:37,520 –> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: he beats his chest but really don’t come off the ball?

516
00:26:40,160 –> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: Or is he a guy who is hump don’t say much?

517
00:26:42,840 –> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: But then I mean just a ball of energy and

518
00:26:45,080 –> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: you never stop. You don’t. You don’t know that from

519
00:26:47,240 –> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: a size and stand and stat chart, But when you’re

520
00:26:50,400 –> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: on the field with him, you get a that’s when

521
00:26:52,400 –> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: that that respect level builds and you said, you understand

522
00:26:55,000 –> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: who that guy is across the across the line of scrimmage.

523
00:26:58,000 –> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: And so we’ve seen the forty nine ers at that best,

524
00:27:00,160 –> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: seen a team um eager to change their environment, change

525
00:27:04,640 –> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: their culture. Um um. I’ve seen a quote around the

526
00:27:08,480 –> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: forty nine is faithfulness. It’s it’s it’s it’s there. It’s

527
00:27:12,040 –> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: their mantra, it’s what their archie kingdom, the faithful right.

528
00:27:16,520 –> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: They saying, Hey, everybody buy in this, be faithful, like

529
00:27:19,720 –> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: trust things you don’t see trusted. We all are on

530
00:27:23,000 –> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: the same page, and we’re all doing things for the

531
00:27:25,240 –> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: right reasons. Um, whether you see it or not, just

532
00:27:27,840 –> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: have have blind faith in it. Um that and that’s

533
00:27:31,680 –> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: been a great um way to change the coast. So

534
00:27:34,480 –> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: you gotta take your your hat off to John Lynch.

535
00:27:36,560 –> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: He’s been an amazing gym putting that roster together with

536
00:27:39,359 –> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: so many top picks. But when you when you when

537
00:27:42,040 –> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: you when it’s time to go play ball, and it’s

538
00:27:44,359 –> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 1: time to link arms, and and and and they say

539
00:27:47,960 –> 00:27:50,479
Speaker 1: fight out of a foxhole, and and and you know,

540
00:27:50,680 –> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: have each other’s sixes, have each other’s backs. This team

541
00:27:54,040 –> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: has had to battle back from ten points down, twenty

542
00:27:57,200 –> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: points down, twenty four points down. That she has had

543
00:28:01,200 –> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: I haven’t seen the forty nine is battle back through something.

544
00:28:05,040 –> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: I’ve seen them lose games during the season, but I

545
00:28:07,480 –> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: haven’t seen them deal with turmoil and have to link

546
00:28:11,080 –> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: arms and look at each other and realize they ain’t

547
00:28:14,040 –> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: no quit. Nobody’s quitting. They seem to be front running.

548
00:28:17,440 –> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: They see me when when things are going well, hey man,

549
00:28:19,680 –> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: they can oil those wheels and keep it going. But

550
00:28:22,320 –> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: if they don’t start out fast, and they got to

551
00:28:24,240 –> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: make adjustments and the defensive line ain’t getting the pressure

552
00:28:28,160 –> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: used to get in, and the back end is they

553
00:28:29,840 –> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: can’t cover for more than two and a half seconds.

554
00:28:32,119 –> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: Linebackers are overrunning tackles and missing tackles and instead of

555
00:28:36,080 –> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: making those you know, like they did that Seattle game,

556
00:28:38,560 –> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: making that that stopped it kept them out of so

557
00:28:41,200 –> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: those big plays. Those linebackers have rose to the occasion

558
00:28:44,160 –> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: when they don’t make those big plays on all three

559
00:28:46,280 –> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: levels of their defense, what happens to that team? Do

560
00:28:49,800 –> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: they shake? Do they shiver? Did they saw looking at

561
00:28:52,160 –> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: each other waiting waiting for somebody to put on a

562
00:28:53,840 –> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: Superman cake? I know exactly what I’m gonna get from

563
00:28:56,640 –> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, no matter what the score of the game.

564
00:28:58,840 –> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: I know that the next players, the next play, I

565
00:29:01,040 –> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: know everybody’s focused on the next target. Everybody’s zero panic.

566
00:29:05,080 –> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: Zero is zero panic. That’s how many teams in this

567
00:29:08,160 –> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: league could come from twenty four down in a divisional

568
00:29:10,600 –> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: playoff game. Man, it wasn’t some game in like late October.

569
00:29:14,480 –> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 1: That’s a twenty four down shop in a divisional playoff

570
00:29:17,880 –> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: game and zero panic. I’m not sure. Maybe the Saints,

571
00:29:22,080 –> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: but if they were, you know, when they were playing

572
00:29:23,440 –> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: at the high peak. I don’t know, but seriously, man,

573
00:29:26,240 –> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean, how tough is that? And these guys, this

574
00:29:28,920 –> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs team can take on anybody anywhere in any time. Yeah,

575
00:29:31,560 –> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: I’m gona tell you what. It’s easy to say you

576
00:29:33,160 –> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: have character, and say you have faithfulness, and say you

577
00:29:35,720 –> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: have all these um these these great aspirations until it’s tested.

578
00:29:41,400 –> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: If to say you’re the faithful, it’s great until you

579
00:29:44,240 –> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: actually have to test that. That’s when. When when when

580
00:29:47,640 –> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: the cancer Chiefs up two three score, Let’s see if

581
00:29:50,440 –> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: they still are as faithful to their offensive game plan,

582
00:29:54,000 –> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: to their defensive game plan. Let’s see if everybody’s still

583
00:29:56,040 –> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: on the same page or do they start bickering and

584
00:29:59,080 –> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: you see you see, you see division amongst the ranks.

585
00:30:01,720 –> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: So you see guys trying to make a play and

586
00:30:04,760 –> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: jumping off side, trying to do too much. I think

587
00:30:08,520 –> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: that this team is a great team. This forty nine

588
00:30:11,160 –> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: is team is going to be a team to be

589
00:30:12,600 –> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: reckoned over the next few years. But I think the

590
00:30:15,600 –> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: weakness in that team is that it is not a

591
00:30:18,280 –> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: proven team. They haven’t gone, they don’t have the scar tissue,

592
00:30:22,360 –> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: they don’t have the scar tissue that the Chief’s got yep,

593
00:30:25,320 –> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: Chief Seam has been unique. I can see the summit

594
00:30:29,120 –> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: from here. You got your pickaxe in your backpack. We’ve

595
00:30:31,240 –> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: climbed this shell together. Brother, we’ve been going up back

596
00:30:34,160 –> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: and if you take the lead for a while, I

597
00:30:35,680 –> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: take the league. Dragged me up with your rope. I’ll

598
00:30:38,200 –> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 1: drag you up with my rope. But I can see

599
00:30:39,800 –> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: the summit from here. Fifty year climb for some folks,

600
00:30:43,280 –> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: but for you and me, what a year it’s been.

601
00:30:44,880 –> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: But we can see the summit for here. It’s time

602
00:30:46,560 –> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: to do it. Man. Each each and every week, I

603
00:30:48,160 –> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: carried the same book with me called Killing Kryptonite by

604
00:30:50,360 –> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: John Bevern. It’s a great book. It talks about not

605
00:30:54,000 –> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: allowing you a good to keep you from being great,

606
00:30:56,640 –> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: and whether it’s spiritually, whether it’s physically, whether it’s emotionally.

607
00:30:59,680 –> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 1: This Kansas City Cheam Chiefs team was given all the

608
00:31:03,320 –> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: accolades in week one, and they’ve had to fight all

609
00:31:06,480 –> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: the compliments all year long and not accepted, continuing to

610
00:31:11,320 –> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: feed in, continuing to work, coming in every day, working

611
00:31:14,400 –> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: out the nuances, working out the details as they climb

612
00:31:17,640 –> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: that mountain. And now they can see the summit. They

613
00:31:20,240 –> 00:31:22,840
