The Good Beast | Defending The Kingdom 9/3

1
00:00:00,320 –> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Take advantage on the day. All right, when you get

2
00:00:02,759 –> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: opportunity in this game, you make a play touchdown. Kansas City,

3
00:00:10,200 –> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, all right, in the thick of a baby, Hello,

4
00:00:15,040 –> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom. We are right there, man. We are a

5
00:00:18,880 –> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: week away from playing football and opening the curtain on

6
00:00:23,040 –> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: the entire National Football League season. This is defending the Kingdom.

7
00:00:27,880 –> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: Mitch Alter’s with your voice of the Chiefs, along with

8
00:00:30,040 –> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: the man that we know as the Shop, the barber Shop,

9
00:00:32,880 –> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the barber, the spider man, ten year National Football League veteran,

10
00:00:36,920 –> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 1: Sean Barber. And I’m gonna say this, Sean, as I

11
00:00:39,400 –> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: introduce you this week. Spaggs came up to me at

12
00:00:42,680 –> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: the ring ceremony. Okay, now, it’s not like he’s watching

13
00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: our shows all the time, but he did see some

14
00:00:48,240 –> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: in the offseason, and I said, you saw me two

15
00:00:51,280 –> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: hundred yards away at camp, right in my little tent

16
00:00:53,440 –> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: over there. But he said, let me tell you something

17
00:00:56,400 –> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: about Sean. Sean was the best knee bend linebacker I

18
00:01:00,040 –> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: think I ever had. And he wasn’t saying that, oh

19
00:01:04,040 –> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: you or you’re working with him. And I know Spags

20
00:01:07,560 –> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: now enough to know it was truth. So I’m gonna

21
00:01:09,640 –> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: introduce you that way as the best need bending linebacker

22
00:01:12,440 –> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: that that Spags ever had. Can you still bend your knees?

23
00:01:15,920 –> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Of course I can. I can still running full five,

24
00:01:18,800 –> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 1: maybe at four or six, but it’s thirty yard dash

25
00:01:21,480 –> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: now instead of forty, so I had to cut the

26
00:01:23,319 –> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: distance down to keep the speed up. So but man,

27
00:01:25,880 –> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Coach Spagnola is a is a great He’s been a

28
00:01:28,440 –> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: mentor of mine ever since. I got a chance to

29
00:01:30,600 –> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: work with him and be a be a player under

30
00:01:32,319 –> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: him in Philadelphia. And he’s a guy that showed me

31
00:01:35,920 –> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: the game. I was an athlete. I knew how to play.

32
00:01:39,440 –> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I was a playmaker. I could be around the ball,

33
00:01:41,880 –> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: but there was times in the defense where I U

34
00:01:44,360 –> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: I y cowboy died. I would I would put it

35
00:01:46,680 –> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: on my Superman cape and try to make somebody else’s play,

36
00:01:49,120 –> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: and Coach Spags would always reeled me back in and say, hey,

37
00:01:51,520 –> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: that’s not your play. Thank you, you may, you may.

38
00:01:53,880 –> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: You got us a tip ball, you got you got

39
00:01:55,720 –> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, but that really wasn’t your fit

40
00:01:58,520 –> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: in the defense, and coordinators will see that and take

41
00:02:01,880 –> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: advantage of it. You made a play, but you were

42
00:02:04,280 –> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: out of a position, and you’re hurting the integrity of

43
00:02:06,720 –> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 1: the defense. And it wasn’t until he set me down

44
00:02:09,919 –> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: and showed me what he meant by that did I

45
00:02:12,280 –> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 1: realize all eleven guys have to be on the same

46
00:02:14,560 –> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: accord for a defense to go up to the next level,

47
00:02:17,520 –> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: not just my individual play. Hold that thought, Hang onto

48
00:02:21,200 –> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: that thought. Shop okay, don’t don’t take it and put

49
00:02:23,720 –> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: it in the freezer. Hang on to that thought. A

50
00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 1: reminder that the defending the kingdom was shopping myself is

51
00:02:29,680 –> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: brought to you by these Bows Headphones seven hundred. They

52
00:02:34,080 –> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: are terrific, eleven levels of noise cancelation. You’re getting ready

53
00:02:39,560 –> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: for the real NFL season, We’re getting ready to play ball.

54
00:02:42,840 –> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: A lot of you work at home. A lot of

55
00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: you got to sometimes chill at home and figure out

56
00:02:46,639 –> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: how I’m gonna work at home. But now I gotta

57
00:02:48,160 –> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: chill Bows headphones. He’s seven hundred. Bows Headphones will let

58
00:02:51,680 –> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: you do both. Go to their website. You can check

59
00:02:54,960 –> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: it out at bows dot com and look for these

60
00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: seven hundred headphones. There’s so good. Though, my wife wanted

61
00:03:01,480 –> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: to use my other Bow’s headphunds, and I told her,

62
00:03:04,200 –> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: you know what, yours is mine, and what’s mine is mine.

63
00:03:06,400 –> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: So I’ll just keep him book. She’s got my other ones.

64
00:03:09,960 –> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: I said, I’m gonna take these bad boys because they

65
00:03:12,800 –> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: are pretty awesome. Now keep that thought that you just had,

66
00:03:16,680 –> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: because we’re gonna talk about I think one of the

67
00:03:20,440 –> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: could be the most impactful players in the entire NFL

68
00:03:23,360 –> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, based on what I’ve seen in training camp.

69
00:03:26,480 –> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: Before we start that though, you said you still ran

70
00:03:28,639 –> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: a four or five forty. If you’re racing the cheetah,

71
00:03:31,600 –> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: what kind of head start would you have to have

72
00:03:33,639 –> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: to beat the cheetah. I’ve seen the Cheetah race against

73
00:03:36,960 –> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Terrell Owens. I saw him race against Miko Hardman’s I’ve

74
00:03:40,840 –> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: seen him beat the jet I’ve seen him beat Terrell.

75
00:03:43,080 –> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: But Dealer got a head start. He beats Deeter. What

76
00:03:45,440 –> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: did Deeter start at day on a forty yard dash,

77
00:03:49,240 –> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I’m gonna need about yeah, I’m gonna need about twenty yards.

78
00:03:52,480 –> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean the cheetah comes out the gate, he goes

79
00:03:54,760 –> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: from he goes from zero to top speed in about

80
00:03:57,440 –> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: six or seven yards. It’s I’m for five years, though

81
00:04:00,600 –> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: it takes me some build up. It takes me a

82
00:04:02,520 –> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: good twelve to fifteen yards even get to the third gear,

83
00:04:05,520 –> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: much less the sixth seventh gear to Cheetah Gay. Where

84
00:04:09,200 –> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: would you put me shop? How much would I need?

85
00:04:11,200 –> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: Where would you start me? You might? You might? You

86
00:04:13,520 –> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: might want to race against Rich Eysen. You might want

87
00:04:15,440 –> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: to do that charity deal. I’m pretty sure you’ll get Rich.

88
00:04:19,480 –> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: You’ll get him. He’s coming in right right around that

89
00:04:22,240 –> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: five one five two area. I think that I think

90
00:04:25,279 –> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: you’ll give Rich and run for his money at the

91
00:04:27,160 –> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: combine when he runs in his suit. I think that’s

92
00:04:29,760 –> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I’ll do that. All right. Let’s jump back

93
00:04:32,120 –> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: to what you were talking about in what Spags wanted

94
00:04:34,520 –> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: you to do when you played for him, and that is,

95
00:04:36,960 –> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: do your assignment be disruptive within the scheme, how impactful

96
00:04:41,200 –> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: you can be. Because I want to jump into Chris Jones. Now,

97
00:04:46,240 –> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: this Defending the Kingdom will be entitled The Good Beast

98
00:04:49,960 –> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: Stone Cold, the Good Beast because we got some bad

99
00:04:53,640 –> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: beasts and we don’t want to go to where the

100
00:04:55,560 –> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: bad beasts are, but we are going to go where

101
00:04:57,200 –> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: the good beasts are. Based on the training camp that

102
00:05:00,440 –> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: I have seen, Sean, oh my gosh, he might have

103
00:05:04,080 –> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: been the MVP of this whole training camp, of truncated

104
00:05:07,440 –> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: camp last week and about three practices they couldn’t block him.

105
00:05:11,680 –> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: He like, erect the practice to the point where you’re

106
00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: seeing like big Red going, are we supposed to go

107
00:05:15,640 –> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: inside and trying to redo this now, Chris Jones to me,

108
00:05:19,720 –> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: and we know he extended his contract. Okay, we also

109
00:05:23,600 –> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 1: know he want a super Bowl and got a ring

110
00:05:25,080 –> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: on Tuesday night. I’m seeing nothing from him but trying

111
00:05:30,200 –> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: to be way better. He said he wants to be great.

112
00:05:34,839 –> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: When you hear that from him and it looks like

113
00:05:36,960 –> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: he’s doing that in practice, what do you see? What

114
00:05:39,400 –> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: do you think? Man? Greatness is a concept that has

115
00:05:42,440 –> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: to come internally. There is no statistic whether he leads

116
00:05:47,320 –> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: the leagues and sacks and when pressures, or he’s available

117
00:05:50,680 –> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: from nine percent of the defense, Like all of those

118
00:05:53,240 –> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: things are just fissures. They’re just things that he could

119
00:05:56,279 –> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: have a great two or three weeks with multiple sacks

120
00:05:59,600 –> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: and ended with more sacks this year than last year,

121
00:06:02,120 –> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: off from five or six great games. But he’s talking

122
00:06:05,120 –> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: about a level of play is so consistent. He’s talking

123
00:06:08,440 –> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: about being double team to every play, demanding to be

124
00:06:11,000 –> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: double team to every play, having such respect from the

125
00:06:14,160 –> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: offensive coordinated from another team that they wouldn’t dare leave

126
00:06:17,400 –> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: one guy one on one with him. That is what

127
00:06:19,839 –> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: he’s talking about. It’s a level of respect that comes

128
00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: with playing with a passion and the purpose every damn

129
00:06:25,720 –> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: and an aggressive nature, just not worried about any other

130
00:06:29,120 –> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: play than the one you’re currently in. And he has

131
00:06:31,680 –> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: the ability from a physical standpoint with his long arms.

132
00:06:35,440 –> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Is the level of his pad play, the way he

133
00:06:38,400 –> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: relocates and dislocates and just throws offensive linemen out the

134
00:06:43,120 –> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: way to get and he’s going right up the gut.

135
00:06:45,839 –> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: He’s going up that a gap B gap. He’s as

136
00:06:47,800 –> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: a direct line path to the quarterback. He’s always in

137
00:06:50,960 –> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks line of sight, so they always have to

138
00:06:53,200 –> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: be worried about vatted balls. Not only his pressure as sacks,

139
00:06:57,360 –> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: but he gets his hands and he affects plays so

140
00:06:59,720 –> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: many ways. Chris Jones, he’s on that same discussion. When

141
00:07:04,160 –> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: you talk about Aaron Donald and Chris Jones back and forth,

142
00:07:07,240 –> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: they’re on the same discussion. Is who is the most

143
00:07:09,360 –> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: disruptive D line player in the league. Shop We’re gonna

144
00:07:13,960 –> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: talk a lot more about that because there’s three different

145
00:07:16,120 –> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: points of this discussion with Chris Jones. Now, going back

146
00:07:19,480 –> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: to last year, Pro Football Focus ranked him as the

147
00:07:21,960 –> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: seventh best interior alignment in the National Football League. I’m going, okay,

148
00:07:26,920 –> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: I can think of Aaron Donald. Now who else have

149
00:07:28,760 –> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: we got? And I love Pro Football Focus, don’t get

150
00:07:31,720 –> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: me wrong, but I think there’s times like I went

151
00:07:34,200 –> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: to high V and got the aisles online. I brought

152
00:07:36,200 –> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: my stuff out to me. Yeah, I’m like, thank you

153
00:07:38,200 –> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: so much. Tip the dude, and he goes, yeah, I

154
00:07:39,680 –> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: gotta go grade some tape for Pro Football Focus. I’m like,

155
00:07:43,480 –> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: who’s great in this tape? Right? I just and it’s

156
00:07:47,360 –> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: like anything else. If it I agree with it, it’s good.

157
00:07:50,040 –> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: If it’s not, I don’t like it. But I’m like,

158
00:07:51,960 –> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: seventh best interior alignment. So here and here’s the other dynamic.

159
00:07:57,400 –> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: I’ve seen this. I’ve only been in this league twenty

160
00:07:59,320 –> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: seven years. A defensive lineman getting the second contract sometimes

161
00:08:05,880 –> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: leads to a decrease in play. I’m just putting it

162
00:08:08,960 –> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: out there with Chris. I’ve seen this so far. We’ll

163
00:08:12,320 –> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: see how this translate starting next week against Houston. I’m

164
00:08:15,680 –> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: seeing just the opposite. He was practicing like Kelsey practice.

165
00:08:19,280 –> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: This camp, and those two guys acted like they weren’t

166
00:08:22,080 –> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: Pro bowlers. They acted like they were undrafted free agents

167
00:08:24,920 –> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: trying to make the team. I had a chance to

168
00:08:27,680 –> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: have a discussion with Chris’s parents as we was approaching

169
00:08:30,880 –> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. He was still injured, He’s coming back. He

170
00:08:33,240 –> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: was fighting his butt off to get back healthy, to

171
00:08:35,200 –> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: be able to be a part of the playoff run.

172
00:08:37,480 –> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: And after I’ve a discussion with his parents, I realized

173
00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: his spiritual foundation is so much stronger than his physical Physically,

174
00:08:46,559 –> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: He’s gonna do what he has to do to be

175
00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: a great ballplayer, but he serves a master that is

176
00:08:50,640 –> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: way beyond what we’re talking about on the field. His

177
00:08:53,720 –> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: spiritual strength is he’s always trying to achieve a next level.

178
00:08:59,400 –> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: He’s proved into himself what he can do on a

179
00:09:01,520 –> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: day to day basis. He’s proven to himself with his

180
00:09:04,200 –> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: own excellence, and whether the femins on him, whether the

181
00:09:08,120 –> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: coach is trying to coach him up, he’s trying to

182
00:09:10,520 –> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: showcase his abilities and skills because he’s trying to show

183
00:09:13,360 –> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: somebody God has blessed me. To do something in any

184
00:09:17,040 –> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: snap less than my best is a disgrace to somebody

185
00:09:20,920 –> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: he’s serving and that’s how Lord, I save yourself. So

186
00:09:23,240 –> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: his spiritual background, his spiritual motivation, the way he plays

187
00:09:28,080 –> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: like there’s a camera and a spotlight on him on

188
00:09:31,840 –> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: every dawn of every play, and that’s something a lot

189
00:09:34,840 –> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 1: of players just they can’t recreate that feeling if they’re

190
00:09:38,440 –> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: only chasing dollars, if they’re chasing contractual satisfaction. There’s the

191
00:09:42,400 –> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: point of time where your numbers, your stats, it’s going

192
00:09:44,520 –> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: to force the team to pay you and then let’s

193
00:09:46,600 –> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: see what you got. Damn, Let’s see what your character.

194
00:09:49,000 –> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Let’s see if you have the same integrity and character

195
00:09:51,320 –> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: when you’re being paid then when you got drafted and

196
00:09:54,559 –> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: you won’t being paid. But what I saw in camp,

197
00:09:57,200 –> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: but Chris challenges do your work hardily? Right? Do you you

198
00:10:00,160 –> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: gonna work hardly? And that’s what he was doing here

199
00:10:02,559 –> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: and Houston, Mississippi, baby, home of the Hilltoppers. Go Toppers.

200
00:10:06,360 –> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: I don’t know if they’re playing. I hope they are,

201
00:10:08,760 –> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: but it leads me to something. I got to Texas

202
00:10:10,679 –> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: Week when one of our defending the Kingdom season ticket holders,

203
00:10:14,640 –> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: he listens to every word. He’s one of those dudes

204
00:10:16,480 –> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: that runs and listens to it right, and he’s a

205
00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 1: West Point graduate, but he’s read a book called Grit

206
00:10:21,200 –> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: with Angela Duckworth who wrote it, and the effort times

207
00:10:24,559 –> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: talent equals skill, skill times effort equals achievement were the

208
00:10:28,520 –> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: quotes that she had used that he sent because he

209
00:10:30,480 –> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: was listening to last week’s podcast. But even with Chris here,

210
00:10:33,480 –> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: we’re gonna hear from Chris in a second. But with

211
00:10:35,960 –> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, I’m just hopeful shop that he’s going to

212
00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: an even different level. And there’s after this interview we’re

213
00:10:43,120 –> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: going to jump into some of the stuff he talks about.

214
00:10:45,240 –> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: But we’re seeing something different potentially from Chris. It could

215
00:10:48,280 –> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: make him, if not equal or better than Aaron Donald

216
00:10:53,440 –> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: of the Rams, darn close. Yeah, And one day I

217
00:10:56,280 –> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: think about Chris, he’ll show Aaron Donald in respect. He’ll

218
00:11:01,320 –> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: the all time great lineman there rest he knows about him,

219
00:11:04,720 –> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 1: the Reggie whites Um, he knows about the straight hands.

220
00:11:08,600 –> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: He knows there’s been some phenomenal athletes playing his position.

221
00:11:11,760 –> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 1: But when you get down to the core of what

222
00:11:13,760 –> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: does Chris Jones expect from himself, it’s every every day,

223
00:11:17,080 –> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: just simply be better, be better than I was a

224
00:11:19,520 –> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: day ago, learn something, learn another technique, learn another. The

225
00:11:23,440 –> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: hand fights, the hip placement um how to how to

226
00:11:26,400 –> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: how to beat you know, as as the offensive skill

227
00:11:29,040 –> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: levels gets better, I want to be the All Pro

228
00:11:31,160 –> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: tackle the same way I beat a rookie off the

229
00:11:34,240 –> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: off the street, and and and the result is a

230
00:11:37,360 –> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: guy who is fearless. There is no offensive line um

231
00:11:41,679 –> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: um that he goes into the game thinking, oh, I’m

232
00:11:43,679 –> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna have a tough day. If he plays the way

233
00:11:46,120 –> 00:11:48,959
Speaker 1: he has the ability to play, there isn’t a way

234
00:11:48,960 –> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: to block. It’s the same way as Pat Mahomes. If

235
00:11:50,640 –> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes is on his a game, the defense there

236
00:11:54,000 –> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: is Katie Barty Gates. Try to keep us under fifty.

237
00:11:57,400 –> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: When Pat is on his game, the the basement is fifty.

238
00:12:01,840 –> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: When Chris Jones is at his best. When he’s on

239
00:12:04,200 –> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: his game, a three four SAT game is not something

240
00:12:07,840 –> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: that is beyond his capability. He has the ability each

241
00:12:11,720 –> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: and every series to get to the quarterback, and it’s

242
00:12:14,120 –> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: a matter of just that that tenacity and building up

243
00:12:18,320 –> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: that preseverance, that patience. He knows what he has and

244
00:12:22,280 –> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: he has to just make sure he’s bringing it on

245
00:12:23,960 –> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: a snap back snap basis every being very consistent dawn

246
00:12:28,200 –> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: by dawn, series by series, and it’s all internally and

247
00:12:31,200 –> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: he understands that. So when when you can throw skill

248
00:12:33,880 –> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: level out the door and it’s all an internal thing,

249
00:12:36,280 –> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: then that’s what he’s been working on. He’s been working

250
00:12:37,960 –> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: on his own self motivation to how to be a

251
00:12:41,120 –> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: guy who’s on a leadership role in this team because

252
00:12:43,720 –> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: no longer, no longer it’s Chris Jones, a little man.

253
00:12:46,520 –> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: He’s now a leader on his team and I’m looking

254
00:12:49,080 –> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: so forward to seeing him being unleashed upon the league

255
00:12:52,320 –> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: in two and twenty. Yeah, thanks for Christopher Gown, one

256
00:12:55,280 –> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: of our Defending the Kingdom loyalist, for that nugget. But

257
00:12:58,960 –> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: here’s the thing. You and I and talk, we don’t

258
00:13:01,000 –> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: live it. It’s just noise. And with Chris Jones, it’s

259
00:13:04,040 –> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: not just talking. He’s living it now. At the end

260
00:13:05,920 –> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: of camp, at the end of camp, the team is

261
00:13:08,040 –> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: now transition. They have transition to full on, getting ready

262
00:13:10,440 –> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: for the Houston Texans to open up our Red Friday

263
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: Kickoff edition on a week from Thursday night on September tenth.

264
00:13:19,840 –> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: We had a chance, Matt mcmollan and I had a

265
00:13:22,120 –> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: chance at the end of camp to set Chris Jones

266
00:13:24,480 –> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: down and have a chat with him, and there are

267
00:13:26,960 –> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: some very interesting comments here from stone Cole. I think

268
00:13:30,559 –> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: with COVID and everything, we had a few inster weeks

269
00:13:34,520 –> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: to rest our legs and um kind of recover from

270
00:13:37,679 –> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 1: prior injuries from the season. I actually took advantage of

271
00:13:40,760 –> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: that time and prepared myself for camp, and we was

272
00:13:44,400 –> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 1: fortunate enough to make it happen to have camp, and UM,

273
00:13:47,520 –> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: I came out and gave him my all, made sure

274
00:13:49,160 –> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: I pushed my teammates every day, and uh made sure

275
00:13:51,640 –> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: I challenged that offense. You know, we gotta we have

276
00:13:54,040 –> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: such a dynamic offense with the weapons and pat myhomes,

277
00:13:57,760 –> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: and I made sure we competed in every day at

278
00:14:00,440 –> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: the highest level. So, Chris, you guys were the best

279
00:14:04,120 –> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL towards the end of last season.

280
00:14:06,360 –> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: You’re coming into this camp. You guys are playing that way,

281
00:14:08,320 –> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: just looking really really good, challenging this offense every day.

282
00:14:11,640 –> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: You know, second year in SPAG system. How much more

283
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: comfortable was everyone? How much further along are you guys

284
00:14:16,480 –> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: as a defense this time compared to this time last year? Um?

285
00:14:20,880 –> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: You know what that comfortability? Comfortability comes with playing time

286
00:14:25,680 –> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: and playing with one another and getting that field on

287
00:14:28,840 –> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: one another, you know, and UM playing within the scheme

288
00:14:31,640 –> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: of the defense and knowing what his spats gonna call

289
00:14:34,840 –> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: in different type of situations, you can kind of prepare

290
00:14:37,560 –> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: a little better than you would UM last year. And

291
00:14:41,520 –> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: I feel like we just picked up where we left off.

292
00:14:43,600 –> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: And this defense has a huge chip on his shoulder.

293
00:14:46,880 –> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: You know, we’re like the second brother of the team.

294
00:14:49,120 –> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: You know, you got Pat Mahomes who who get this

295
00:14:52,160 –> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: explosive offense. Him and UM coach Read and Eb and

296
00:14:55,600 –> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: they kind of take up all the spotlight from the defense.

297
00:14:58,800 –> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: And we want to show that we’re not only a

298
00:15:01,120 –> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: team that plays offense, but we have a great defense also.

299
00:15:04,560 –> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: So you know, we’re like the second brother and we

300
00:15:06,720 –> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: have a chip on our shoulder, and we come out

301
00:15:08,600 –> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: and competing every day. Man from the back end to

302
00:15:11,640 –> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: the inside. You look like you were the big brother

303
00:15:13,960 –> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: the last couple days out here. But I got to

304
00:15:16,200 –> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: ask you. Everybody gets into sacks and I get all that. However,

305
00:15:20,360 –> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: you can be so disruptive at the line of scrimmage.

306
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: We saw those passes deflected. When I review video, I’ll

307
00:15:26,840 –> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: see you knock down or deflect a pass that would

308
00:15:28,880 –> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: have been maybe a thirty yard game. What about your

309
00:15:31,840 –> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: ability to disrupt a play even if you’re not getting

310
00:15:35,280 –> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: a sack. Yeah, it was hard to accept that overtime.

311
00:15:38,960 –> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: You know, it wasn’t all about sex, and um I

312
00:15:41,360 –> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: kind of understood that. You know, it’s multiple ways to

313
00:15:44,680 –> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: affect the game with my planning ability other than SAX.

314
00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: You know, sax are a huge part of it. And

315
00:15:50,640 –> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: but you know, sometimes you’re not gonna be able to

316
00:15:52,680 –> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback within the scheme of the office

317
00:15:55,400 –> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: whatever they’re running, whether you have two guys on you

318
00:15:58,080 –> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: or whether it’s sliding to you. So you got to

319
00:16:00,080 –> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: find different ways to kind of effect get your teammates involved,

320
00:16:03,240 –> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: and then still make plays. Okay, Shop, there’s a lot

321
00:16:06,840 –> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: to unpack here now in that interview, and I loved it.

322
00:16:10,400 –> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: I’m seeing him grow up. But let’s take this first one.

323
00:16:13,600 –> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: And we alluded to it before the interview, but he

324
00:16:15,800 –> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: does not seemed satisfied with either a Super Bowl ring

325
00:16:18,720 –> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: or a second contract. And we have seen many guys

326
00:16:21,320 –> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: in this league, especially at that position, that become exactly

327
00:16:24,600 –> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: that man. I played with a few of them, whether

328
00:16:27,360 –> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: it was Dana Stubb of Hell. There’s a lot of

329
00:16:30,480 –> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 1: Bruce Smith at the end of his career when I

330
00:16:32,080 –> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: was in the Redskins. We talk about guys that are

331
00:16:35,080 –> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: and it doesn’t always have to be a money thing.

332
00:16:38,160 –> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: It can be an achievement thing. If you said to yourself,

333
00:16:40,520 –> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: I want to end my career with a certain amount

334
00:16:42,520 –> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: of sex, and you’re within two or three of getting

335
00:16:45,120 –> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: that number, then every play becomes an opportunity for the

336
00:16:48,000 –> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: sack and you give up the integrity of the defense

337
00:16:50,560 –> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: chasing sex. That is one of the things that there’s

338
00:16:53,520 –> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: a detriment to the overall success of his defense. If

339
00:16:56,520 –> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: anybody feels like them themselves need to start chase an

340
00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: individual success, individual achievement, even the individual respect. In this league,

341
00:17:05,960 –> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: it can cast our entire defense, the integrity of the defense,

342
00:17:10,400 –> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: by one person thinking that they are more important than

343
00:17:13,280 –> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: the entire defense. Yeah, offense, that can be lethal. Second

344
00:17:17,280 –> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: part here was putting the heat on the Chiefs offense.

345
00:17:21,480 –> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: He made it. He talked about a point of putting

346
00:17:23,359 –> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: the heat on the Chiefs offense. And again they couldn’t

347
00:17:25,480 –> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: block him in camp unless the simile he was in

348
00:17:28,320 –> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: there as simile he could get handle him a little bit,

349
00:17:31,240 –> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: but he was a wrecking crew. But this defense of

350
00:17:35,200 –> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs was putting pressure on the offense in training camp.

351
00:17:39,280 –> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: What about that? Well, I know when we talk about

352
00:17:41,880 –> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: defensive backs and how do our defensive backs achieve the

353
00:17:45,240 –> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: next level? Well, our offensive wide receiver corps is the

354
00:17:48,800 –> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: best in the league, and you have to go against

355
00:17:50,520 –> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: that level of competition on a day to day basis,

356
00:17:53,800 –> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: you it gotta raise your ability up to the next level.

357
00:17:56,680 –> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 1: I see the same thing happened with our offensive line

358
00:17:59,680 –> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: face our d line. When you’re facing against a guy

359
00:18:02,640 –> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: like Chris Jones and Frank Clark and Noddy and those

360
00:18:05,560 –> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: guys on a day to day basis, you have to

361
00:18:07,600 –> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: come every day with your You have to pack that

362
00:18:10,119 –> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: lunch and be ready for a full day of getting

363
00:18:12,320 –> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: somebody else’s best. Because if nat they’ll put you on

364
00:18:14,760 –> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: your real they’ll make you look really bad, and nobody

365
00:18:17,280 –> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: wants to look bad on tape. So the intensity level

366
00:18:20,520 –> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: and the attention to detail and the alignment assignment details

367
00:18:24,119 –> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: by one Chris Jones, and as that spread amongst the

368
00:18:26,520 –> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: defensive line, that’s gonna make our entire team. When we

369
00:18:29,320 –> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: talk about in the trenches, the guys that are in

370
00:18:31,720 –> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: the trenches. The offensive line of defensive lines. As they go,

371
00:18:35,400 –> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: your team will go. There is no there is no choice.

372
00:18:38,520 –> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: In the NFL. You will not go anywhere if your

373
00:18:41,160 –> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: offensive defensive line isn’t a a tough went through some

374
00:18:46,720 –> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: things got a bunch of scar tissue and have each

375
00:18:49,440 –> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: other’s back. And that’s the one thing you find in

376
00:18:51,600 –> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: training camp when you’re fighting every day and going at it. Yeah,

377
00:18:54,680 –> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: it gets a little it gets a little chiffy. Yeah,

378
00:18:57,320 –> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: you want to fight each other a little bit. But

379
00:18:59,240 –> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: it’s a good chip because when the season comes around

380
00:19:03,160 –> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: and now that jersey changes color, all of a sudden,

381
00:19:06,640 –> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: that foe changes color. Now you’re getting that to somebody

382
00:19:08,880 –> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: else’s but and that defensive line is putting pression on

383
00:19:11,800 –> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: somebody else’s quarterback. And that’s a great thing. Yeah, it’s

384
00:19:15,160 –> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: something you and I heard on the zoom called Monday Night.

385
00:19:16,960 –> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: We were on with the leaders, business leaders and folks

386
00:19:19,720 –> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: in the community of iron sharpening iron, and that’s exactly

387
00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: what I saw with this, all right. Third, though, this

388
00:19:24,080 –> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: leads to another point. This is where it gets interesting

389
00:19:26,200 –> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: because I heard this from the Honey Badger two when

390
00:19:28,880 –> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: we had a chance to talk with him. The spring

391
00:19:30,480 –> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: and summer, and that is there’s a little bit of

392
00:19:32,680 –> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: a chip on the shoulder of the defense here. Right,

393
00:19:35,600 –> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: offense gets a lot of attention, and I don’t want

394
00:19:38,119 –> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: to get it to a point where it’s negative because

395
00:19:40,119 –> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: that can fracture a team. Yeah, your defense when you

396
00:19:44,200 –> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: played for the Chiefs back in two three four, right

397
00:19:46,880 –> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: in there, when we had an incredible offensive line and

398
00:19:49,640 –> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: Trent’s quarterback and the priest is running and t Rich

399
00:19:52,280 –> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: and JD. And but I’m thinking, well, we’re not talking

400
00:19:55,600 –> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: about some of our defensive guys here. I mean, it’s

401
00:19:58,160 –> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: easy to get lost in Chris. She even mentioned the

402
00:20:00,720 –> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 1: interview even referred to as little brother or whatever. This

403
00:20:04,160 –> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: team gets along. Coach Read demands it. But there is

404
00:20:08,600 –> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of this defense of thinking, well, whoa

405
00:20:10,800 –> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: whoa wa, whoa whoa whoa Wait a minute here, And

406
00:20:13,960 –> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: to me, it leads these guys into thinking, well, we

407
00:20:16,880 –> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: may carry the day. We may carry the day a

408
00:20:19,840 –> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: little bit at the beginning of the season and deserves

409
00:20:21,840 –> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: some attention. Yeah, and you know it comes to that

410
00:20:24,320 –> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: national spotlight. Obviously, when you have a Super Bowl MVP quarterback,

411
00:20:28,520 –> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: you know that they are always gonna be the face

412
00:20:30,119 –> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: of the league. You got Tarry Hill and our wide

413
00:20:33,680 –> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: receiver corps. You got the best tight end in the league.

414
00:20:36,240 –> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: You have one of the best, two of the best

415
00:20:38,080 –> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: offensive tacks, like the offensive accolades we can spend all

416
00:20:42,119 –> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: day talking about, and then when it’s time to spend

417
00:20:44,520 –> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: some time on defense, it’s like a game. You only

418
00:20:46,440 –> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: got so much time left to mention honey badger, the linebackers,

419
00:20:50,240 –> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: maybe a cornerback and step up, and then the three

420
00:20:52,760 –> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: impactful deal offensive linements we have, and then the show’s

421
00:20:55,520 –> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: over it. So you’re like, oh man, we didn’t get

422
00:20:57,480 –> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: our time in the show. Where’s our fifteen minutes of fame?

423
00:21:00,160 –> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: But defensively, as a defense, that we’ve always hung our

424
00:21:03,880 –> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: head on one thing, keeping the other team out the

425
00:21:06,680 –> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: end zone. So it doesn’t like giving up yardage has

426
00:21:09,800 –> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: been something even when I played that was we gave

427
00:21:12,119 –> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: up record amount of yardage. We gave up four or

428
00:21:14,119 –> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: five hundred yards a snap in two thousand and three

429
00:21:16,920 –> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: when I was part of that defense. But our defense,

430
00:21:20,119 –> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: the mantra of our defense was to create turnovers. Our

431
00:21:23,560 –> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: offense was so explosive we didn’t care about yardage. We

432
00:21:26,359 –> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: just wanted to give the ball back and so we

433
00:21:28,359 –> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: tried to bait and trap. We had a lot of

434
00:21:30,720 –> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 1: trap coverages. We had a lot of creating fumbles um um.

435
00:21:34,800 –> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: That was the basic and the the primary goal of

436
00:21:38,640 –> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: our defense wasn’t to keep you from getting yardage. It

437
00:21:41,720 –> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: was to keep you out the end zone. But we

438
00:21:43,480 –> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: wanted to create a turnover in those leads those years

439
00:21:46,960 –> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: with the war Field and all the other guys that

440
00:21:50,400 –> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: played with on defense, Vonnie Holiday, Dexter mccleon, all those

441
00:21:53,760 –> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: great uh two thousand and three, four and five Woods,

442
00:21:58,240 –> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: g West. It was built on turnovers and so we

443
00:22:01,440 –> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: had to give a little to get a little. But

444
00:22:03,000 –> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: we always got Trent and priests. We got them the

445
00:22:05,359 –> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: ball back so they can go put up those those

446
00:22:07,720 –> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: game show type numbers. This defense is built difference. Steve

447
00:22:11,840 –> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: Spagnola is a mastermind in creating defenses that take away

448
00:22:16,200 –> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: your strength. It makes you beat us a different way.

449
00:22:18,680 –> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: We’re gonna, we’re gonna if you run between the tackles,

450
00:22:21,000 –> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: if you run outside, bootleg, play action, whatever it is

451
00:22:24,040 –> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: you do, well, we’re gonna we’re gonna force you to

452
00:22:26,280 –> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: go away from that and kind of beat us left

453
00:22:28,520 –> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: handed if you can. But what we realize we have

454
00:22:31,040 –> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: so much defensive talent that sometimes we can play Barry Vanilla.

455
00:22:35,040 –> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: We don’t always have to bring that extra man to

456
00:22:36,720 –> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: create pressure. That is the importance of Chris Jones, Frank Clark,

457
00:22:40,880 –> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: Derek Noddy. They can beat guys and get pressure on

458
00:22:43,800 –> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: the quarterback. And a three man pressure, a four man pressure,

459
00:22:47,560 –> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: you don’t have to give up the integrity on the

460
00:22:49,200 –> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: back end to make sure that the quarterback is not

461
00:22:51,200 –> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: holding the ball for four or five seconds. That is

462
00:22:53,680 –> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: so important and impactful, and I think that’s something at

463
00:22:56,280 –> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: the end of last year weeks ten on we did

464
00:22:58,800 –> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: better than anyone in the now the last part of

465
00:23:03,280 –> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: our thesis in this edition of the Defending the Kingdom,

466
00:23:06,280 –> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: and it’s the stone Cold the Good Beast is something

467
00:23:10,240 –> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: that we’ve It’s near and dear to our hearts because

468
00:23:12,680 –> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 1: here’s the thing. People love to play fantasy football. That’s

469
00:23:15,560 –> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: why we exkew to the offense. Most of the numbers

470
00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: we play with almost all of them in fantasy football

471
00:23:20,640 –> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: or offensive numbers, defensive numbers. What do we have? Oh,

472
00:23:23,920 –> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: we got picks and sacks and that’s about it. Okay,

473
00:23:28,119 –> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: this goes to the last part of that interview that

474
00:23:30,160 –> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: we had with Chris Jones, and it has to deal

475
00:23:32,800 –> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: with all the ways that you can erect the putting

476
00:23:37,200 –> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: of the offense so many ways. Chris Jones is a

477
00:23:40,720 –> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: personification of that. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl in

478
00:23:44,800 –> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: large part because there were four defensive stops in a

479
00:23:47,880 –> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: row at the end of the game down ten points.

480
00:23:50,920 –> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 1: Stop stop, stop stop. In the last eleven plays that

481
00:23:54,440 –> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers ran in Super Bowl fifty four,

482
00:23:56,800 –> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: Chris Jones affected directly three of them. Two passes knocked

483
00:24:01,359 –> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: down like you know, just knocking it down like a

484
00:24:04,080 –> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: wind one of those big wind machines that create wind energy,

485
00:24:07,960 –> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: and then another one that he tipped that would have

486
00:24:09,880 –> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: been a completion for about fifteen yards. As I look at,

487
00:24:12,920 –> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: he got just enough on at the ball, took a

488
00:24:15,160 –> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: funny patter oop incomplete. Okay, And we talked with Chris said,

489
00:24:19,359 –> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: I had to come to the realization that it wasn’t

490
00:24:21,600 –> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: just about sacks. And I look at his numbers in

491
00:24:24,880 –> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: his career in the regular season. These are just regular

492
00:24:27,760 –> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: season numbers. Twenty passes deflected, seven forced fumbles. Forced fumbles

493
00:24:33,119 –> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: is a stat that I look at if it’s you

494
00:24:34,840 –> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: or any defender, that means you’re getting around the ball,

495
00:24:37,359 –> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: and when you’re getting around the ball, something good is

496
00:24:39,840 –> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: happening for the defense. He has seven forced fumbles those

497
00:24:43,800 –> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: twenty passes defensed. Chris Jones doesn’t need sacks to wreck

498
00:24:48,600 –> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: an offense. And I think all of us in the

499
00:24:50,560 –> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom listening to this, you and I understand it.

500
00:24:54,000 –> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: But to me, okay, the pass deflected is the most

501
00:24:58,400 –> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: underrated stat in all of ball. Why when I review

502
00:25:02,080 –> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: video and I see you knocked down a pass. Just

503
00:25:04,000 –> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: let’s say Spack sent you on a blitz and you

504
00:25:06,240 –> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: knock down a pass at the line of scrimmage, I

505
00:25:08,480 –> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: can hear the collective groan of the offensive coordinator in

506
00:25:11,280 –> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: the quarterback because they had the right play call against

507
00:25:14,160 –> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: your blitz and it was gonna be a thirty five

508
00:25:16,640 –> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: yard play. I freeze, I freeze the video and count

509
00:25:20,160 –> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: and see where the open receiver is and goes that’s

510
00:25:21,960 –> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: a twenty five yard completion. Nope, it’s not because you

511
00:25:25,440 –> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: knocked the pass down. But all we do we put

512
00:25:27,480 –> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 1: a PD and we don’t play fantasy football on pds.

513
00:25:30,760 –> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: I’m telling you, pds are a big deal. Past deflections,

514
00:25:35,320 –> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: especially they’re even emphasized even more when it’s done at

515
00:25:39,560 –> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. It’s Monday for a dB to

516
00:25:42,240 –> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: be there on a contested ball and knock it down.

517
00:25:44,640 –> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: Because we know now we have some great wide receivers

518
00:25:47,440 –> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: in the league and fifty fifty ball throw up the

519
00:25:50,359 –> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: d hops the Michael Thomas is the great receivers of

520
00:25:53,840 –> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: the NFL. They’re gonna come down with that ball most

521
00:25:56,400 –> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: of the time. But what you do at a D

522
00:25:58,400 –> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: lineman when you knock it down, which JJ Watt is

523
00:26:01,040 –> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: known for now Chris Jones is known for it. When

524
00:26:03,880 –> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: you when you do that, you don’t you take that

525
00:26:06,119 –> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: fifty percent ball and you make it zero percent. There

526
00:26:08,920 –> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: is no way of batted ball at the line stream

527
00:26:11,280 –> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: gets complete. You take those contested catch receivers and you

528
00:26:16,400 –> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: take that from fifty fifty to zero. It is such

529
00:26:19,200 –> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: a game changer for the defense. And also with those

530
00:26:21,840 –> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: tip balls. I believe half the interceptions in the league

531
00:26:25,720 –> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: come off of a tip ball, tip ball drill or

532
00:26:28,320 –> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: something like that, and so it also can lead to

533
00:26:30,320 –> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: a big turnover. So it’s all good things for the

534
00:26:33,560 –> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: defense when the defensive line is able to get hands

535
00:26:36,000 –> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: on the ball. It also messes with the subconscious of

536
00:26:39,040 –> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback because he doesn’t know if you’re gett into him,

537
00:26:41,560 –> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: you gonna throw your hands up. He has to change

538
00:26:43,320 –> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: his arm slot. Now you’re affecting with the rest of

539
00:26:45,800 –> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: his mentality of the rest of the game based off

540
00:26:47,880 –> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: when you’re just slacking the ball down and the offensive

541
00:26:50,600 –> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: coordinate is thinking, I gotta get away from the quick game.

542
00:26:52,640 –> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 1: I gotta get away from the three step because the

543
00:26:54,359 –> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: d line they’re not worried about getting pressure. They’re sitting.

544
00:26:56,880 –> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: They’re playing the window. They’re trying to do with the

545
00:26:58,760 –> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: broomsticks and not the ball dawn. So it creates such

546
00:27:02,600 –> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: unknown it creates a lot of question marks on so

547
00:27:05,400 –> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: many different levels of the opponent, of the opponent’s game plan.

548
00:27:09,880 –> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: And so with Chris Jones, what he’s doing now that

549
00:27:12,280 –> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: is above and beyond what everybody’s doing. He is doing

550
00:27:15,800 –> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: it with a leadership level because now guys are seeing

551
00:27:19,760 –> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: the way he’s penetrating and create penetration immediately he gets

552
00:27:24,359 –> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: to the quarterback for sacks and quarter impressures. If he

553
00:27:27,359 –> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: doesn’t get there, he doesn’t stop working. Now he’s working

554
00:27:30,280 –> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: to windows. He’s founding windows to get in front of

555
00:27:32,400 –> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback’s eyes. So now he can bat a ball

556
00:27:34,840 –> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: down multiple ways to affect the passing game. And then

557
00:27:38,600 –> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 1: in the running game, he’s able to get in gaps,

558
00:27:40,920 –> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 1: two gap, disengaged with potential blockers, making tackles for laws,

559
00:27:45,640 –> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: tackles at the line of scrimmage. You think you’ve got

560
00:27:48,080 –> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: a running play all blocked out the right way. We

561
00:27:51,160 –> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: saw it in the Tennessee game in the playoffs. Every

562
00:27:53,840 –> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: time they thought they had to run block the right way,

563
00:27:56,720 –> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: one of our defensive guys shot shot through a gap.

564
00:27:59,440 –> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: The Naughties, the Saunders, the Frank Clarks for attackle for loss.

565
00:28:02,800 –> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: That’s how you take a team they think they have

566
00:28:05,400 –> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: the ability to run against you, and you stifle that

567
00:28:08,080 –> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: and you make them one dimensional, and then snap saff

568
00:28:10,640 –> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: Nation comes alive. Guess what, Houston’s gonna want to run

569
00:28:14,800 –> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: the ball. They’re gonna want to control the line of scrimmage.

570
00:28:17,080 –> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: We’re gonna get into that next week. But here again,

571
00:28:19,520 –> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and let’s you know, kind of on deck

572
00:28:22,720 –> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: in this discussion. I know we’re talking about Chris Jones,

573
00:28:25,040 –> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: the good Beast, but Tone Passigno is not far behind

574
00:28:29,119 –> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: in this discussion. If you look over the on deck circle,

575
00:28:31,840 –> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: he’s over there with the pine tar getting ready to

576
00:28:34,160 –> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: do his thing too, because he does a lot of

577
00:28:36,119 –> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: the similar things. Go back and watch the playoffs and

578
00:28:39,040 –> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: watch Tono Passigno and now he affects the game and

579
00:28:41,960 –> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: doesn’t get the stats always. That’s right. Great body type.

580
00:28:45,040 –> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: If you look at the body types of him and

581
00:28:46,440 –> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, very similar, long rangy, great um disruptive arms

582
00:28:53,880 –> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: can be in multiple passing lanes and they keep They

583
00:28:56,640 –> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: use those long arms to keep people off of their frames.

584
00:28:59,560 –> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: That’s what great rhyman do who are six six six

585
00:29:01,800 –> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: seven are really tall. They can’t they can’t win the

586
00:29:05,040 –> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: leverage battle because they’re the height, but they can use

587
00:29:07,320 –> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: those long arms to keep people off their frame and

588
00:29:10,080 –> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: that allows them to keep athletic in effect plays in

589
00:29:13,280 –> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: so many different ways that um that’s working towards As

590
00:29:18,320 –> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator. You have to have the intelligence and

591
00:29:22,000 –> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: know how to use those guys. So we got to

592
00:29:24,080 –> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: continue to tip our hat to Steve Spagnola for putting

593
00:29:27,080 –> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: the guys like a passing though who couldn’t find the

594
00:29:29,640 –> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: field a couple of seasons ago. He’s putting them to

595
00:29:33,000 –> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: make him an impact player. Chris Jones, we call him

596
00:29:36,680 –> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: a good beast. It’s like feeding that that that when

597
00:29:39,400 –> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: you want to feed the good wolf or the bad wolf.

598
00:29:42,080 –> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: Two wolves the limb side of everybody. Chris Jones, he’s

599
00:29:45,240 –> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: feeding the right one and that’s allowed is potential in

600
00:29:48,200 –> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: the skill level to rise up to the next level.

601
00:29:50,520 –> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: And that’s, to me, is the new Chris Jones. That’s

602
00:29:52,600 –> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: what you set up perfect. That’s what I’m seeing from him,

603
00:29:55,320 –> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: and I hope it translates to the regular season him

604
00:29:57,560 –> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: and passing your boat seven foot three inch winks. They

605
00:30:00,720 –> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: go fingertip to fingertip, to fingertip to fingertip. It’s fifteen feet.

606
00:30:05,560 –> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: It’s almost Hashmark to Hashmark. Good luck with that. Thanks

607
00:30:08,840 –> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: to the folks. It’s bows, these bows seven hundred headphones.

608
00:30:12,000 –> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: You know we can’t have big concerts right now with

609
00:30:13,880 –> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic and stuff. Oh yeah, you can. You
