20
00:01:11,880 –> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: You see these young guys. You hear all these interviews

21
00:01:14,560 –> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: on social media. The Chiefs added a running back and

22
00:01:18,360 –> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: a couple of cornerbacks defensive end and how those guys

23
00:01:20,920 –> 00:01:23,920

Speaker 1: get to release the Chiefs portion of the schedule. All right, now,

32
00:01:50,760 –> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: we’re gonna put up the schedule as we know now

33
00:01:54,360 –> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: the teams that are home and the teams that are away.

34
00:01:56,400 –> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: When you look at it, for the teams at home,

35
00:01:59,240 –> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: for Kansas City to Carolina and Atlanta will visit out

36
00:02:02,800 –> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: of the NFC South and then from the always call

37
00:02:07,160 –> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: it the cross Polly Nation, the Chiefs, with being the

38
00:02:09,520 –> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: number one team in their division, they will cross pollinate.

39
00:02:13,320 –> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: They get Houston at home and then they have to

40
00:02:16,480 –> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: go on the road. To Baltimore in those cross pollin

41
00:02:18,560 –> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: Nation games, and then they go against the AFC East

42
00:02:21,560 –> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: meeting New England, and the Jets will come to Arrowhead

43
00:02:24,800 –> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: and on the road it’ll be a Miami and Buffalo overall.

44
00:02:27,600 –> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: Now overall, what do you see on their schedule, shop Man?

45
00:02:31,560 –> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about how big that home home

46
00:02:34,240 –> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: opener is going to be, having a chance to play

47
00:02:36,919 –> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans right out of the shoot. Having made

48
00:02:39,400 –> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: able to start the Houston Texans as a team that’s

49
00:02:42,040 –> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: kind of been relevant here lately, they’ve been they made

50
00:02:45,280 –> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: some big moves. Bill O’Brien is taking full control of

51
00:02:49,560 –> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: the organization, full control of the staff, full control of

52
00:02:52,600 –> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: the personnel. So it’s exciting to see what is going

53
00:02:55,600 –> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: to actually happen with that team. That team has been

54
00:02:58,120 –> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: in the playoffs in the hunt, was up on US

55
00:03:00,520 –> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: twenty four zero, and you gotta respect that a team

56
00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: is able to get up on you that fast. You

57
00:03:05,840 –> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: know they have ability. But that team has changed a lot,

58
00:03:08,800 –> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: the personnel has changed a lot, but they still have

59
00:03:11,120 –> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson. Having the Shawn Watson and Pat Mahomes

60
00:03:15,120 –> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: on the same field to open the season, I think

61
00:03:17,960 –> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: would be Iceland. The Kate. Okay, I’m gonna get you

62
00:03:21,120 –> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: because I think you’ve already given me your answer. But

63
00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: we’re gonna get to who you want the Chiefs to

64
00:03:24,320 –> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: open up with at home on Thursday night to open

65
00:03:26,800 –> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: up the season. But these away games, now, when you

66
00:03:28,680 –> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: look at this, the Chiefs were seven and one last

67
00:03:31,200 –> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: year on the road. They have been a really good

68
00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: road team with Andy Reid, an exceptionally good road team.

69
00:03:36,440 –> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: But now you look at going to Tampa Bay, Oh,

70
00:03:38,440 –> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: who’s the Bucks quarterback? Now? Who who’s the Bucks tight end? Now?

71
00:03:42,160 –> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: New Orleans, we know what they’re like, especially in the

72
00:03:44,560 –> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Dome Baltimore. Some think the two top teams in the NFL,

73
00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: not just the AFC, of the Chiefs and the Ravens.

74
00:03:51,360 –> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: And then back to the scene of Super Bowl fifty four, Well,

75
00:03:53,840 –> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will take on the Dolphins in Miami and

76
00:03:56,400 –> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: then going to Buffalo, who some think might be the

77
00:03:58,480 –> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: most improved team in the league. Buffalo is definitely improved.

78
00:04:01,520 –> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: Tenos Sean McDermott, a former coach of mine, the dB coach,

79
00:04:05,440 –> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: become a defensive coordinator for Panthers. Had a few years

80
00:04:09,400 –> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator and now head coaching at the

81
00:04:12,920 –> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. He’s changed that atmosphere. That team is definitely

82
00:04:16,279 –> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: on the up and coming. That team is they play

83
00:04:18,160 –> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: solid defense. I think they’re gonna have one of the

84
00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: top five defenses in the league this year. And now

85
00:04:22,440 –> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: they’re just trying to hand the ball over to Josh Allen,

86
00:04:25,800 –> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: a young gun slinger, lots of potential, and if they

87
00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: can get that running game to match the passing game,

88
00:04:32,120 –> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: that is a team that you gotta watch out for

89
00:04:33,839 –> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: late in the season. Okay, the cool thing is winning

90
00:04:36,880 –> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty four. You get confetti on your head,

91
00:04:39,160 –> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: you get to have a cool parade, maybe could a ring.

92
00:04:42,360 –> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Then also you get to draft last. But you also

93
00:04:46,279 –> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: get to open the season at home. I remember in

94
00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: the seventeen season we opened a Thursday night at New England.

95
00:04:51,880 –> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: They bring out the big puffy Lombardi trophies that they

96
00:04:54,360 –> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: had one. I had all six of them out there,

97
00:04:57,160 –> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: or at that point they had five. But anyway, I’m thinking,

98
00:05:01,920 –> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: what if we ever got to do this, Well, we

99
00:05:03,360 –> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: get to do this, so we get to open the

100
00:05:04,920 –> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: season at home on Thursday night. All the rumors were

101
00:05:07,360 –> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: out there that it would be something different, but who

102
00:05:10,520 –> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: would you want to see that home Thursday night game

103
00:05:12,880 –> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: against for the Chiefs to open the season. Man, Like

104
00:05:15,160 –> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: I said the Houston Texans man, we know I look

105
00:05:17,120 –> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: at that home schedule. The Texans is a team I

106
00:05:20,520 –> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: think that coming out of the AFC South is going

107
00:05:23,200 –> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: to be one of the teams to beat. I mean,

108
00:05:24,640 –> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: I think that the AFC South might be one of

109
00:05:26,240 –> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: the toughest divisions in football next year with the Titans,

110
00:05:29,400 –> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: the Jaguas in the Indianapolis Coats with a new quarterback there, Um,

111
00:05:34,160 –> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: that’s gonna be some reshuffling of the AFC South. But

112
00:05:37,560 –> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: I think the Texans, because of Deshaun Watson his youth,

113
00:05:40,520 –> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: are still gonna be capable. They’re deep, they still got

114
00:05:43,120 –> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: JJ Watts on defense. So if from a personnel standpoint,

115
00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: that’s still gonna be a team to be reckoned with.

116
00:05:49,040 –> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: And I think that would that the atmosphere that they

117
00:05:52,279 –> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: left the season last year coming to Kansas City and

118
00:05:57,600 –> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: that twenty four is zero lead that they let slid

119
00:06:01,920 –> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: out of their hands, that we took that championship, we

120
00:06:04,880 –> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: took that game from them. I think that that still

121
00:06:07,880 –> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: is kind of a throne in their side, and they

122
00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: want to try to remove that throne, and we want

123
00:06:12,040 –> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: to take that knife and just dig it even deeper,

124
00:06:14,760 –> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: make that wound even even bleed more So, I think

125
00:06:17,880 –> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of emotion, especially with the

126
00:06:20,520 –> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: banner coming down saying that we’re Super Bowl champions, defending

127
00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, all that culminating. I would love to see

128
00:06:28,560 –> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: the Texans in that first opening game. I love it

129
00:06:31,240 –> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: when you got all your linebacker going on, it’s all, okay,

130
00:06:34,839 –> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: my pick is going to be New England. Now, oh

131
00:06:37,960 –> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: wait a minute, they don’t have Tom Brady, they don’t

132
00:06:39,640 –> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: have Grounk, or do they have left precisely. I think

133
00:06:42,400 –> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: the NFL world wants to see what New England looks

134
00:06:45,040 –> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: like without Brady, and I think too it’s a revisit

135
00:06:48,839 –> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: of the seventeen game, and so the network can go

136
00:06:51,120 –> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: back and show all that game back and forth. But

137
00:06:53,160 –> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: I do think there’s some intrigue because everybody’s like, well,

138
00:06:56,839 –> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: what will the Patriots look like? And can Belichick, you know,

139
00:07:00,040 –> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: form his magic, can be a genius and make them

140
00:07:02,839 –> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: to twelve and four again in thirteen and three and

141
00:07:05,400 –> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: when the nffc East. So I do think there’d be

142
00:07:08,400 –> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: some interest in that game. So I’ll go with New England,

143
00:07:11,920 –> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: you’ll goth Houston. We’ll know soon. This is going to

144
00:07:13,960 –> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: get me revealed at six to fifteen on Thursday night

145
00:07:17,600 –> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: Central daylight time, and we get to reveal our schedule,

146
00:07:21,160 –> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: so we’ll know the week one opponent that will be

147
00:07:25,000 –> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: on our Chiefs YouTube, Facebook and Twitter pages. All right,

148
00:07:28,640 –> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: now that’s the opener. Now let’s jump into the division.

149
00:07:31,000 –> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Because you played this game for ten years, you have

150
00:07:34,880 –> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: been a coach at camp, so you know that the

151
00:07:38,440 –> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: first priority with Andy Reid is the Division. I’m going

152
00:07:42,400 –> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: to put it out there. Andy Reid is thirty two

153
00:07:45,800 –> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: and ten against the Division since he’s been the head

154
00:07:50,120 –> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, thirty two and twenty

155
00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: seven and three the last five years. All three of

156
00:07:55,320 –> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: those losses were on Thursday night games. Chiefs have not

157
00:07:58,640 –> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: lost a Sunday Division game since November thirty, twenty fourteen.

158
00:08:03,240 –> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: Let’s jump into the division. We know that those sixty

159
00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: or sixteen games or against those guys, they watch us,

160
00:08:09,320 –> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: we watch them. Let’s take these one by one and uh,

161
00:08:13,120 –> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: we’re gonna start with the Las Vegas Raiders. What do

162
00:08:16,000 –> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: you We’re gonna ask what do you like and what

163
00:08:18,280 –> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: you don’t like about them, and we’ll go through all

164
00:08:20,600 –> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: three of these teams. Your thoughts on the Raiders, Well,

165
00:08:22,960 –> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Raiders is always going to be Raider Week. Um,

166
00:08:25,560 –> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: that’s gonna be a that’s gonna be a game for

167
00:08:29,320 –> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: the Ages. That’s gonna be a game that’s gonna be

168
00:08:31,000 –> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: always a rivalry. Here in Kansas City. We hate the Raiders,

169
00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders hate us. That’s gonna be something since uh,

170
00:08:36,760 –> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, until the end of time. Um. The Raiders

171
00:08:39,080 –> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: have definitely UM with the addition of Mike Mayock getting

172
00:08:42,640 –> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: into the scouting department, they definitely made their team faster.

173
00:08:46,559 –> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: They went for they went for speed, they went for

174
00:08:48,400 –> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: offensive weapons. They’re trying to surround David Carr with some

175
00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: game changing type players. Um. A year ago they got

176
00:08:56,800 –> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: um Um. They running back from Alabama and he’s been

177
00:09:01,800 –> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: a rookie sensation. Last year he showed that he can

178
00:09:04,320 –> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: tote the rock, he can be all a full time

179
00:09:06,679 –> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: running back. But now they got themselves on wide receiver weapons, right,

180
00:09:10,679 –> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: they can stretch the field. Henry Ruggs has been a

181
00:09:13,080 –> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: guy that some people have said is the next Cheatah.

182
00:09:15,360 –> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: They said that he has the same ability to stretch

183
00:09:17,520 –> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: the field, create all these athletic catches, and he has

184
00:09:21,880 –> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: that top end four two speed to get deep on

185
00:09:24,720 –> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: you early and often, and pairing them up with a

186
00:09:29,360 –> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: new Slash, the wire receiver from Kentucky. He’s a guy

187
00:09:33,520 –> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: that can play every position. So they got themselves a Slash,

188
00:09:36,679 –> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: They got themselves a Taysom Hill that allpens up the offense.

189
00:09:41,920 –> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: And then they already have, you know, the tight end Weller,

190
00:09:44,640 –> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: the gout it waller. He’s been. He was a consistent

191
00:09:47,520 –> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: threat all year long, one of the top threats for

192
00:09:50,440 –> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: David Carr. So their offense has now been retooled and

193
00:09:53,640 –> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: ready to go. It’s the defensive side of the ball

194
00:09:56,240 –> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: that I think they forgot about. They didn’t give the

195
00:09:59,000 –> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: defense any any sparks anything to go with. They went

196
00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: with David Arquette, the second corn at Ohio State. I

197
00:10:06,440 –> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: noticed some people had him drafted, ranked pretty high in

198
00:10:09,400 –> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: the draft, but I just didn’t see it for a

199
00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: complete college career. He came on as a senior one

200
00:10:16,480 –> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: year film, but that’s now. I didn’t see enough to

201
00:10:20,480 –> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: rank him as a first round draft pick, a starting

202
00:10:23,040 –> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: corner in the league. Here’s the thing I like about them.

203
00:10:26,400 –> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 1: I think their overall talent level just continues to rise.

204
00:10:29,640 –> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: I think they stacked up a really good draft class

205
00:10:32,440 –> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: this year with a really good draft class last year.

206
00:10:36,160 –> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: Leaven you guys that have been underrated, like Max Crosby

207
00:10:39,320 –> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: on the defensive front. That guy looks like a Derek

208
00:10:42,000 –> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: Wolf type, a guy that’ll play in this league a

209
00:10:44,679 –> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: long time and can wreck your game plan even though

210
00:10:48,080 –> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: he wasn’t. I mean, he came out of Eastern Michigan.

211
00:10:50,480 –> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: So I do like what they’ve done from an overall

212
00:10:53,400 –> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: talent standpoint. The thing that if I’m a Raider fan

213
00:10:57,400 –> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: that concerns me is even the move to Las Vegas.

214
00:11:00,280 –> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: Here’s why are you changing sixty years or your persona.

215
00:11:03,960 –> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: Anytime these moves happen, people think you just instantly snap

216
00:11:07,200 –> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: into having it work. Look what’s happened with the Chargers

217
00:11:10,720 –> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: the Rams moving back and forth and back again. It

218
00:11:14,400 –> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: throws things off. And even though Vegas is a great destination,

219
00:11:18,040 –> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: are is that stadium going to be full of the

220
00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: opposing fans? Answer? Yes? And all those fans in the

221
00:11:23,080 –> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: black Hole and sixty years of Raiders and the song

222
00:11:25,400 –> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: and Al Davis and all that and Darrel Lamonica and

223
00:11:27,840 –> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: Kenny Stabler. Does that translate over to Las Vegas. That

224
00:11:32,480 –> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: remains to be seen because it’s almost like they’re reinventing themselves,

225
00:11:36,320 –> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: and when that happens in the NFL, that can create

226
00:11:39,200 –> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: some issues, at least in the short term, and some

227
00:11:42,040 –> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: teams never really get over that. So Baltimore is probably

228
00:11:45,440 –> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: the best that made the transition when they went from

229
00:11:47,280 –> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland to Baltimore, But still there’s some questions there. All right,

230
00:11:51,400 –> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: let’s jump in now to the Chargers. There’s Charger team

231
00:11:55,080 –> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: that now will be in the new stadium in La

232
00:11:57,760 –> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: if it’s ready to go. If it’s not, I don’t

233
00:11:59,280 –> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: know where they’re going to. Maybe Santa Monica Pier, I

234
00:12:02,360 –> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: don’t know. But what do you think of this church

235
00:12:04,720 –> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: or team and what you’re like and don’t like? Every

236
00:12:07,640 –> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: year we hear that the Chargers are the number one

237
00:12:09,920 –> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: threat for the Chiefs reign. The Chiefs has been excellent,

238
00:12:12,440 –> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: defending the division, winning the division year in the year out,

239
00:12:15,320 –> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: and every year we hear that the Chargers are nipping

240
00:12:18,640 –> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: at the hills to take over the division. The Chargers

241
00:12:21,320 –> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: lost a integral piece when Philip Rivers left for the Colts,

242
00:12:26,960 –> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: and they replaced him right with the with the young quarterback.

243
00:12:29,480 –> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: Herbert Herbert is the guy. He’s he’s gonna have to

244
00:12:33,360 –> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: go through the learning curve of the NFL. He’s gonna

245
00:12:35,640 –> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: throw a lot of turnovers, and so they got rid

246
00:12:37,800 –> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: of an old diversion of a turnover machine for a

247
00:12:40,480 –> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: younger version. I think, Um, that balanced itself out. Um.

248
00:12:44,160 –> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: The one thing I think they did they did did

249
00:12:46,240 –> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: they did get a steal on the defensive side of

250
00:12:49,440 –> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: the ball. Um, they got a playmaking every down linebacker.

251
00:12:53,040 –> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: He goes, he’s rangey. UM. I liked. I like his tenacity,

252
00:12:56,160 –> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: I like the way he plays. Uh, he’s going to

253
00:12:58,440 –> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: be in the league for a long time. A lot

254
00:13:00,320 –> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: of plays at the linebacker position. But overall the draft

255
00:13:05,120 –> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: was so thin because they had to move up to

256
00:13:06,840 –> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: get him. They only got a few players in the draft.

257
00:13:09,920 –> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: So I don’t see them ending up being a threat

258
00:13:13,480 –> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: or as big a threat as they was a year

259
00:13:15,080 –> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: ago and they lost to the Broncos. Melvin Gordon he

260
00:13:21,559 –> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: was an intol part of their rushing attack. I think,

261
00:13:24,240 –> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: even though he held out the beginning of the season,

262
00:13:26,240 –> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: once he was there, you saw what kind of running

263
00:13:29,160 –> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: he was. And I think Austin Eckler needs that that

264
00:13:33,720 –> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 1: one two punch. He’s I don’t think he can give

265
00:13:35,760 –> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: it to you every dawn be a three dawn guy,

266
00:13:38,520 –> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: so um, I think he probably it’s going to be

267
00:13:42,160 –> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: a little bit affected by the wear and tear of

268
00:13:44,840 –> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: now being a full time RB. Yeah, and they’re trying

269
00:13:49,280 –> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: to do what the Chiefs did with Mahomes getting apprentice

270
00:13:51,880 –> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: by Alex Smith, with the Tyrod Taylor justin Herbert thing.

271
00:13:54,960 –> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: Here’s what I really like about them as their defense

272
00:13:57,160 –> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: up the middle. You mentioned Murray. I love that pick

273
00:13:59,320 –> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: and moving up although it was expensive for them, but

274
00:14:01,800 –> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: you look, they still got Bosa and Ingram and then

275
00:14:04,760 –> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: they got Derwin James back there at safety, who I

276
00:14:07,080 –> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: think is an absolute stud. So when you look at

277
00:14:09,600 –> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: them in the middle of that defense, if there’s a

278
00:14:11,840 –> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 1: defense that I think right now is built to try

279
00:14:13,840 –> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: to compete with Pat Holmes and the Chiefs offense, it’s

280
00:14:16,440 –> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: those guys. Now, what don’t I like about them? Go

281
00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: back and see what I said about the Las Vegas Raiders.

282
00:14:21,560 –> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: This is still a team in flux. They ran a

283
00:14:23,920 –> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: popularity poll. This was on Twitter. I think of the

284
00:14:27,640 –> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: teams in LA and they were I mean, the Sparks

285
00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: were ahead of them the w NBA team, I mean,

286
00:14:33,240 –> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: and I’d like the Sparks. I like the w NBA,

287
00:14:35,280 –> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: but I mean, really so we all know what the

288
00:14:37,640 –> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: Clippers are to the Lakers. We all know what even

289
00:14:39,960 –> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: the Angels are to the Dodgers, and we know what

290
00:14:44,440 –> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: when you look at you know, the Ducks to the Kings.

291
00:14:47,640 –> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: There’s this A and B or maybe a C and

292
00:14:51,440 –> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: the Chargers right now, again, it’s a pseudo home game

293
00:14:55,160 –> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: for every team they play. You played this game to me,

294
00:14:58,120 –> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: it would be really hard for me to run in

295
00:15:00,040 –> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: to my stadium with our signage job and the fans

296
00:15:03,400 –> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: from the other team have the stadium every time. And

297
00:15:06,480 –> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: so until that gets resolved and la adopts this team,

298
00:15:10,200 –> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: if that’s gonna happen with the Rams, you know, getting

299
00:15:12,680 –> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: more popularity, then I don’t know. I just think it

300
00:15:15,480 –> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: puts a lot of pressure on this team, and it

301
00:15:17,120 –> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: has the last three years. And we felt a little

302
00:15:20,880 –> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: bit about that. Even here in Kansas City, we have

303
00:15:23,200 –> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: an awesome fan base sold out for numerous seasons. But

304
00:15:26,720 –> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: when the NFL NFC North came in with the Vikings

305
00:15:29,760 –> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: and the Packers, those two weeks we got some our

306
00:15:32,760 –> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: players were a little agitated the fact that we saw

307
00:15:35,160 –> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: so much purple, so much green in our stadium. It

308
00:15:37,840 –> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: was unfamiliar territory. You’re saying the same thing with the

309
00:15:41,120 –> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Raiders and with the Chargers because they’re moved their team

310
00:15:45,080 –> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: being on the on the flex, on the flux, you’re

311
00:15:47,960 –> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: gonna get so much an impact from the away teams

312
00:15:51,120 –> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: coming there. Every game’s gonna feel like in the way

313
00:15:53,680 –> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: away game for them. When you don’t, when you don’t

314
00:15:56,840 –> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: have a true home and you’re playing, feel like you’re

315
00:15:58,960 –> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: playing on the road every week. As the season goes

316
00:16:01,560 –> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: on and on, it gets very long, it gets real long.

317
00:16:04,560 –> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, and the bumps and the bruises, and the tiredness,

318
00:16:08,480 –> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: the ability to to gear it up one more time

319
00:16:12,520 –> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: for that home crowd. I know Coach Formill used to

320
00:16:15,120 –> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: tell us, you got to defend home. That’s that’s one

321
00:16:17,400 –> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: thing we wanted to do. We wanted to make sure

322
00:16:18,680 –> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: we defend home and win out in divisional games. Well,

323
00:16:21,720 –> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: when you’re not playing at home, or you feel like

324
00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: you’re not playing at home for the entire season, that

325
00:16:26,280 –> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: that’s kind of hard to achieve that goal. So um,

326
00:16:28,960 –> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: I see them definitely struggling. Those are two teams. I

327
00:16:31,560 –> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: think they have to start out very high. They have

328
00:16:34,200 –> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: to start out winning right away to create some draw

329
00:16:38,160 –> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: for their fans, to start getting them into the staying stadium.

330
00:16:41,360 –> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: But early on first half the season, Um, it’s going

331
00:16:43,920 –> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: to be like you’re saying, away game every week for

332
00:16:45,840 –> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: those teams. Again, this is our defending of the Kingdom.

333
00:16:48,480 –> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: We’re calling it attack the schedule, Attack the schedule, twenty

334
00:16:51,760 –> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: twenty schedule. We get to reveal the chief schedule tomorrow

335
00:16:55,840 –> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: night six fifteen. As we’re putting this podcast together on Wednesday,

336
00:17:01,520 –> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: May the six. Tomorrow, on May the seventh, at six

337
00:17:04,080 –> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: fifteen Central daylight time, we get to announce the Chiefs schedule.

338
00:17:07,920 –> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: Then the NFL will release at all at seven o’clock

339
00:17:10,440 –> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: Central time. Okay, starting fast has become critical in the

340
00:17:15,640 –> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: National Football League. Andy Reid has put together an incredible

341
00:17:20,960 –> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: starting fast resume as the head coach of the Kansas

342
00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. You know what, we didn’t get any left

343
00:17:25,680 –> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: Denver out Why I was getting red say it. I

344
00:17:27,760 –> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: was getting saying those donkeys, what about those donkeys? Oh yeah,

345
00:17:31,840 –> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: oh no, we got a donkeys. I’m hearing it. I’m

346
00:17:33,800 –> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: hearing it. What I’m thinking about a nine straight wins

347
00:17:36,040 –> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: over the Donkeys. That’s what I’m thinking about. So let’s

348
00:17:39,000 –> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: jump into the Broncos before we get into the whole

349
00:17:41,000 –> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: start fast, and who knows, when we reveal the schedule

350
00:17:43,680 –> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: in orrow night, the Broncos may be in one of

351
00:17:45,480 –> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: those first four games of the season. But let’s talk

352
00:17:48,240 –> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: about the Broncos and what you like about them. Well,

353
00:17:50,680 –> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos, I think, is the team that we that

354
00:17:54,200 –> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: we gonna have to really meet head face to face.

355
00:17:57,119 –> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: We’re gonna have to really take them seriously defensively. Um,

356
00:18:00,440 –> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Coach Vick is gonna have that defense humming again. UM.

357
00:18:03,040 –> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: I think that was a team. Um. We we we

358
00:18:06,280 –> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: beat them, but I think that was the team I

359
00:18:08,359 –> 00:18:11,719
Speaker 1: often struggled with the most um every time we play them,

360
00:18:11,720 –> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: and we talk about the left hands row coming back

361
00:18:14,320 –> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: in the snow, having you know, um at the game

362
00:18:16,960 –> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: up there um our offense. We we end up winning

363
00:18:20,200 –> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: the game, But it’s not it’s not that. Um. The

364
00:18:23,160 –> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: way we beat the Raiders the way we we would

365
00:18:25,680 –> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: we forced the charges to be turnovers teams. We that

366
00:18:28,840 –> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: team plays us better than anybody else in the division.

367
00:18:31,520 –> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: They got a young gun slinging at quarterback, they have

368
00:18:34,040 –> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: two tight ends Noah Fan and Ao that can both

369
00:18:37,440 –> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: go vertical. They got Courtland Sudden on one side and

370
00:18:41,119 –> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: now they got Judy right, they got weapons. Uh, they

371
00:18:44,600 –> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: can go forward vertical and when they go forward vertical,

372
00:18:47,880 –> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: they might have the advantage on every defender across the board.

373
00:18:52,320 –> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: So um, and now you’re talking about uh, Melvin Gordon

374
00:18:56,040 –> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: adding to the backfield with Philip Lindsay Lady being there. Um,

375
00:18:59,440 –> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: that got a one two punch. So their offense is

376
00:19:01,840 –> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: gonna be potent. It’s just if the local kid, the

377
00:19:05,880 –> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: low key from Missouri can actually handle all the weapons

378
00:19:08,440 –> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: he’s been given, or will he be able to take

379
00:19:11,960 –> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: that team to the next level. And so I’m looking

380
00:19:14,000 –> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs to hopefully keep that run against Denver going.

381
00:19:17,520 –> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: But that’ll be the team out field that we have

382
00:19:20,160 –> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 1: to really prepare for, being the team that might be

383
00:19:23,480 –> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 1: coming after nipping at our heels in the AFC West. Yeah.

384
00:19:26,680 –> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: I love Drew. I do love Drew Locke at Missouri

385
00:19:28,800 –> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: or least Summit High, and love his dad’s restaurant whenever

386
00:19:31,240 –> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: we get to go back there again. But I don’t

387
00:19:33,240 –> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: like Drew it as a Bronco. Sorry it’s there. What

388
00:19:35,760 –> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: I like about this team. I talked about the Chargers

389
00:19:38,920 –> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: being good in the middle defensively. I like where the

390
00:19:42,040 –> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: Broncos are in the middle offensively. Adding Melvin Gordon, they

391
00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: added some girth and some high level players in the

392
00:19:49,440 –> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: middle of their offensive line. And I do they have

393
00:19:52,119 –> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: two good young tight ends in Okubanon and also with

394
00:19:57,280 –> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: no offense, so that gives them up the middle strength

395
00:20:01,440 –> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: on offense. And it does give them options. You mentioned

396
00:20:04,119 –> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: the wide receiver options. Here’s what I don’t like about him.

397
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: They haven’t changed the tackle yet. And you go back

398
00:20:10,720 –> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: and watch the two Chiefs. I don’t know what they’re

399
00:20:12,720 –> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: going to tackles. They signed Jason Peters. Maybe will they

400
00:20:15,920 –> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: But unless they get the tackle deal changed, all that

401
00:20:19,440 –> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: could be off. I mean, you could have Judy running

402
00:20:21,359 –> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: wide open at twenty yards and drew locks on his back. Right.

403
00:20:25,640 –> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: I mean, those guys struggle last year and Garrett Bowles

404
00:20:28,680 –> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: has really struggled at left tackle for them, and they

405
00:20:31,320 –> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: didn’t exercise the option on his fifth year. Okay, there’s

406
00:20:34,680 –> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 1: a division. Andy Reid thirty two and ten against the

407
00:20:37,200 –> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Division twenty seven and three in the last thirty games.

408
00:20:39,960 –> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 1: All right, starting fast, and I wanted to start fast,

409
00:20:42,920 –> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: too fast. But here we go starting fast. Andy Reid

410
00:20:45,720 –> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: has written the paper on this nineteen and five. In

411
00:20:48,960 –> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: September as the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs ninth,

412
00:20:53,320 –> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: teen and five shop, Andy Reid has eleven straight September

413
00:21:00,480 –> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: start starting fast. Andy Reid’s written the book on you

414
00:21:03,880 –> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: gotta start fast, and especially with the new structure with

415
00:21:07,320 –> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: the only being one team with the number one seed

416
00:21:10,200 –> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: having the bye week, it’s gonna be you. You want

417
00:21:13,080 –> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: to start fast and put the target on your back.

418
00:21:15,240 –> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: You want everybody chasing your chasing your tail, putting the

419
00:21:18,160 –> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: pressure on everybody else, and you just go. And that’s

420
00:21:20,280 –> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: what Andy’s philosophy had been during the practice. During during

421
00:21:24,520 –> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: training camp, he always talks about going fast. Let’s go,

422
00:21:27,320 –> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: let’s go, let’s go. He wants the speed, the tempo

423
00:21:30,920 –> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 1: of every practice to be so high that when it

424
00:21:34,520 –> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: comes time to a game, everything slows down and it

425
00:21:37,440 –> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: puts so much pressure on the other team. UM putting

426
00:21:40,080 –> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: the offense in pass hands and letting them go up

427
00:21:42,040 –> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: at the ball, calls and plays, getting the tempo going. UM.

428
00:21:45,720 –> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: He definitely wants it to be a up tempo, high

429
00:21:49,240 –> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: scoring ball game because It puts the pressure on the

430
00:21:52,359 –> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: other team to try to keep up with what we

431
00:21:53,760 –> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: do well. Our offense is already set. Everybody knows where

432
00:21:58,080 –> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: they are. So many other teams are facing some transition

433
00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, trying to go

434
00:22:05,280 –> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: from a three four to four three when you’re offensive

435
00:22:08,440 –> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: set and you’re ready to go, which we are on

436
00:22:10,600 –> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: offens side of the ball. We added one more piece,

437
00:22:12,920 –> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: the running back from Lsu. It was hilarious. We added

438
00:22:16,320 –> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: him to the mix. But everything else is kept the

439
00:22:18,359 –> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: saying all having the chance to Brett Beach bringing twenty

440
00:22:22,200 –> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: two I mean twenty of twenty two starters back to

441
00:22:24,760 –> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: a world champion team, it was almost lights out for

442
00:22:28,560 –> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: the rest of the league once he did that. But

443
00:22:30,960 –> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: adding some more young pieces to the tool belt, it’s

444
00:22:35,720 –> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: gonna allow us to really start the season fast, and

445
00:22:38,280 –> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 1: I think it’s it’s gonna put a lot of pressure

446
00:22:40,200 –> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: on these other teams in the AFC to try to

447
00:22:42,359 –> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: keep up with the pace. We’re gonna be the pace

448
00:22:45,119 –> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: setters when you talk about the AFC. Yeah. One of

449
00:22:48,320 –> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: the cool things about our revelation of the schedule, lamar

450
00:22:50,800 –> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: and added six fifteen on our chase platforms. We’ll get

451
00:22:54,040 –> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: a chance to talk with any Reid. We’re gonna ask

452
00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: any read because this virtual world that we’re in now,

453
00:22:58,680 –> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: we’re in virtual Ota right. No wasted time with Andy Reid.

454
00:23:02,359 –> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: It’s one of the most impressive things I’ve seen about him.

455
00:23:04,840 –> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: No wasted time. He’s working on getting to a fast

456
00:23:07,600 –> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: start in September, in March, May, April, June. I mean

457
00:23:12,480 –> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: he thinks that way, and that’s the way camp is.

458
00:23:14,240 –> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: We’ve seen it every day at camp. He has this

459
00:23:16,560 –> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: team ready to go in nineteen and five in September.

460
00:23:19,200 –> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: Doesn’t lie the other part. And you played again this

461
00:23:21,760 –> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: league for ten years. Start fast and strong, Start fast

462
00:23:26,000 –> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: and strong. In December, Andy Reid is twenty three and nine,

463
00:23:30,600 –> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: but he’s twelve and two in his last fourteen December games.

464
00:23:35,119 –> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: So Andy Reid, in this run of the Chiefs winning

465
00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: four straight division titles, two AFC Championship games, in a

466
00:23:40,680 –> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship, he has lived up to the start fast.

467
00:23:43,960 –> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: But now, what about ending strong? How do you build

468
00:23:46,520 –> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: a team to end strong? Man? You know, when you

469
00:23:50,160 –> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: work out all off season, you work out off summer camp,

470
00:23:53,160 –> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: it’s to build everybody’s body up. Right. You want to

471
00:23:56,240 –> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: you’re gonna be as strong as you ever gonna be

472
00:23:58,480 –> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: during the season in week one, and then once you

473
00:24:00,960 –> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: get to the meat of the season, those middle seats,

474
00:24:03,520 –> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: those middle seeks, you gotta just hold on. You hold

475
00:24:05,560 –> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: on until you get to the last four or five games.

476
00:24:08,480 –> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: And then this when you put the pedal to the medal.

477
00:24:11,320 –> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: You want to be hitting on all cylinders once you

478
00:24:14,080 –> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 1: get two weeks ten and eleven, so you can hit

479
00:24:16,280 –> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs full momentum running, because any loss after then

480
00:24:20,160 –> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: can knock you off your your stride. And so you

481
00:24:22,960 –> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: see year after year, the teams that end up holding

482
00:24:25,119 –> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: up the trophy, holding up that Lombardi Trophy are usually

483
00:24:28,640 –> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: on eight nine game win streaks to win that thing.

484
00:24:32,800 –> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: And it’s an amazing feeling when you know everything’s going right.

485
00:24:36,160 –> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: You might not have been the strongest from a record

486
00:24:39,720 –> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: standpoint the entire season, but when everything starts clicking and

487
00:24:43,280 –> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: you look around the room on defense and offense and

488
00:24:45,680 –> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: special teams, and you know that everything everybody’s on board,

489
00:24:49,000 –> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: everybody’s on the same page, and you go out there

490
00:24:51,240 –> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: and y’all just performing. You’re not worrying about score boards

491
00:24:53,840 –> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: and anything else. You’re worrying about your own communications, everybody

492
00:24:57,000 –> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: on the same page, because you’re confident that you have

493
00:24:59,680 –> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: the team that’s capable of winning a championship. And we

494
00:25:02,760 –> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: felt that. I think after the Tennessee Titans game last year.

495
00:25:05,800 –> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: After that Tennessee Titans game, I think when everybody looked

496
00:25:08,200 –> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: around the room and knew we had a championship caliber

497
00:25:11,080 –> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: team and now we just had to go and perform.

498
00:25:13,600 –> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: And I think we’re gonna have that feeling a lot

499
00:25:15,800 –> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: earlier this season. Be be careful about that Miami Dolphins

500
00:25:22,160 –> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: popping that champagne. They might not pop no champagne this

501
00:25:26,000 –> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: entire season. If the Chiefs come out the way we

502
00:25:28,119 –> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: think they’re gonna come out, that is barbershop, Colin is shot.

503
00:25:31,960 –> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: I like it to me. It’s also depth. One thing

504
00:25:35,240 –> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: bred feat has done with his personnel staff and what

505
00:25:37,560 –> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid does is developed death depth. I see this

506
00:25:40,600 –> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: again in the springtime that or the summertime or summer camp.

507
00:25:45,440 –> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: There will be the offensive line and in a second

508
00:25:47,720 –> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: they’ll call out a name. Okay, barbershops out, holt Us

509
00:25:50,880 –> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: is in and they don’t know it. It’s not scripted,

510
00:25:53,280 –> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: and you have to react. They build a team to

511
00:25:55,720 –> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: have depth. I quoted it many many times or quoted again,

512
00:25:59,280 –> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: and a quoted to as long as the Lord gives

513
00:26:01,359 –> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: me breath on this Earth. Thirteen starters, a significant time

514
00:26:07,440 –> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: lash onety three quarters of the season. Last year’s shop,

515
00:26:11,520 –> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Eric Fisher missed eight games. Damian Williams missed the last

516
00:26:15,560 –> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: part of the season. But there’s enough depth. Andy Reid

517
00:26:18,320 –> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: builds depth, and I think that not enough teams do that.

518
00:26:21,040 –> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: If you’re if you’re two top heavy, or I got

519
00:26:23,480 –> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: a couple stars, but I can’t fill in behind him,

520
00:26:26,040 –> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: then I can’t end strong because I don’t have any

521
00:26:28,440 –> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: dudes left. I mean, this is a game of attrition,

522
00:26:30,840 –> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs have proven they can build adequate depth. Definitely.

523
00:26:33,960 –> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: I mean, if you can only win one way, if

524
00:26:35,960 –> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: you’re building your offense around one piece, one player, and

525
00:26:40,280 –> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: that player goes down, then you can’t morph, you can’t adjust,

526
00:26:43,920 –> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: and you just fold. Everybody in the organization knows, hey,

527
00:26:47,000 –> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: you live and die with his one player. The Chiefs

528
00:26:49,640 –> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: a year ago kind of we’re built that way off

529
00:26:51,680 –> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. He’s gonna win somehow, some way, we give

530
00:26:54,400 –> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: the ball to Pat, he’s gonna win. It went into

531
00:26:56,840 –> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: that Broncos game he hurt his knee and he went down.

532
00:26:59,560 –> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: We had to refine ourselves. We had to figure out

533
00:27:01,880 –> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: is this team a championship team not just a championship quarterback.

534
00:27:05,880 –> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: And you saw the defense. They hunted around Chris Jones,

535
00:27:09,359 –> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: they hunted around Frank Clark, and they hunted around Tyron

536
00:27:12,320 –> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: Matthew and the defense started to carry some of the load.

537
00:27:15,480 –> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: The defense wanted to, They wanted that on their shoulders.

538
00:27:19,000 –> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: And the team group that that scar tissue became strong

539
00:27:22,600 –> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: that all the bond, the communication between the team became stronger.

540
00:27:26,119 –> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: And like we said, we saw that that ire a

541
00:27:29,400 –> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: tiger mentality start to build. And we being exposed these

542
00:27:34,119 –> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: guys on a weekly in a daily basis, we knew

543
00:27:36,720 –> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: what we had here in Kansas City. It was just

544
00:27:39,160 –> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: amazing to see it on the field on a national

545
00:27:41,200 –> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: level once it was released upon the league and we

546
00:27:44,320 –> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: saw Pat Mahomes go through that MVP caliber Super Bowl,

547
00:27:48,760 –> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: MVP caliber season. Yep, you’ve got to teach it. You’ve

548
00:27:52,280 –> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: got to get players to provide depth. But then you

549
00:27:54,320 –> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: have to invest the time as coaches to develop that

550
00:27:57,280 –> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: depth and teach them and put them in rolls where

551
00:28:00,400 –> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: they can compete. If you need them and you know what,

552
00:28:03,080 –> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: you’ll need them. That’s just the way the league is.

553
00:28:04,880 –> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: All right, Shop, So here we go. Schedule comes out Thursday,

554
00:28:09,080 –> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: we get to release the Chief’s schedule at six to fifteen.

555
00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: We’ll hear from Mark Donovan. He’s going to give us

556
00:28:14,520 –> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: the latest on what this is going to look like

557
00:28:16,160 –> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: for fans, a lot of questions, and we’re going to

558
00:28:19,400 –> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: hear from Andy Reid. We’re trying to get hooked up

559
00:28:22,040 –> 00:28:25,679
Speaker 1: to with the Landlord Kingdom Landlord Tyron Matthew. But we

560
00:28:25,760 –> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: will release the schedule. You will see the chief schedule

561
00:28:28,320 –> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: first on the Chiefs YouTube page, twitter page, Facebook page.

562
00:28:32,000 –> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: We’ll begin our coverage at six fifteen Central time. But

563
00:28:35,080 –> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: to me, Shop, this is when it gets real. Once

564
00:28:37,760 –> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: that schedule comes out and then we start to get

565
00:28:40,600 –> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: more information, clarification of what the league is going to

566
00:28:43,520 –> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: look like, how it’s going to approach the fall, and

567
00:28:47,280 –> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: still being sensitive to handling this coronavirus. That’s when I

568
00:28:51,600 –> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: think some real emotion. It’s going to come in and

569
00:28:54,040 –> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: get ready for this season. Man. Once they ask schedules release,

570
00:28:57,120 –> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 1: you’re going to see thirty two organizations start clean dates.

571
00:29:01,160 –> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: You have a choice to be the hunter or the

572
00:29:03,880 –> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: hunt Head. I think the Chiefs are going to be

573
00:29:06,320 –> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: on the hunt but running it back to back for

574
00:29:09,320 –> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: another back to back championship. So you can circle the

575
00:29:12,600 –> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: dates all you want, it ain’t gonna matter when when

576
00:29:14,840 –> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs come to town, you got to deal with

577
00:29:16,400 –> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: our entire team. When you come to Arrowhead Stadium, you

578
00:29:19,520 –> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: gotta deal with the sea of red, the twelfth man

579
00:29:22,800 –> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: on the field. And so the atmosphere we have is

580
00:29:25,720 –> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: is nobody’s wrestling in Loyals. We’re not gonna let a

581
00:29:28,400 –> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: great season in twenty nineteen keep us from having an

582
00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: elite season in twenty twenty. I can’t wait. Then you’re
