00:02:57,400 –> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: It’s on primetime TV. It’s the old game to watch

49
00:03:00,880 –> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: on Thursday night. And the kid, I can’t wait, man,

50
00:03:03,480 –> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: you see, I got I got my yaws just so

51
00:03:07,040 –> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: I can remember how much a yard he is. I

52
00:03:08,720 –> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: want to carry my yaws stick with me. You know

53
00:03:11,480 –> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: if that reminds me of one of your brethren and

54
00:03:14,639 –> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: a guy that I love, and Willie Lanier and that

55
00:03:17,639 –> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: one yard it was first in goal for the Jets

56
00:03:20,280 –> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: at the one and that sixty nine divisional playoff win.

57
00:03:22,960 –> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: He goes. You know how Willie talked three feet one yard?

58
00:03:27,040 –> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: I saw heads bowed about to make concessions. They weren’t

59
00:03:30,040 –> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: getting in so spags would love you holding that yardstick.

60
00:03:33,880 –> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: Is this Chief’s defense now got a big task? Is

61
00:03:36,480 –> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: here come the Houston Texans, a team that feels like

62
00:03:39,280 –> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: a division foe. We’ve played these guys six times in

63
00:03:42,200 –> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: the last five seasons, twice in the playoffs, and here

64
00:03:46,360 –> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: comes to Shaun Watson and these guys and that yardstick,

65
00:03:49,040 –> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: that three feet one yard. Last year it was fourth

66
00:03:51,920 –> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: down and three feet one yard and they converted it

67
00:03:54,320 –> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: on a pass to DeAndre Hopkins no longer there, but

68
00:03:57,880 –> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: that allowed them to run out the clock. They for

69
00:04:00,440 –> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: it after the two minute warning. It was crazy. But

70
00:04:03,440 –> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: that team’s got that kind of fight stinness coming into

71
00:04:05,800 –> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 1: town your Thursday night. Man, this one yard is when

72
00:04:08,960 –> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: makes some coaches make bad decisions. I remember in the

73
00:04:11,520 –> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: playoff game, fourth in one yard and they go for

74
00:04:14,880 –> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: a field goal instead of going for it. We turn

75
00:04:17,160 –> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: the tide and before you know it, we go from

76
00:04:19,560 –> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: down twenty four to up twenty to win the ball game.

77
00:04:23,320 –> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: So we always know when it comes down to it, man,

78
00:04:27,200 –> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, they bring the most exciting brand

79
00:04:31,560 –> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: of football known to the NFL right now. And it’s

80
00:04:34,680 –> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: not just any team on on on Thursday night. It

81
00:04:38,240 –> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: is Patrick Mahomes led offense, Honey Badger and Chris Jones

82
00:04:41,839 –> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: and Frank Clark layed defense. It’s a it’s a recording.

83
00:04:45,480 –> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: It’s the special teams coach Tobes and a special teams

84
00:04:48,680 –> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: unit about to be unleashed. Everybody wants to know, can

85
00:04:52,839 –> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: we run it back? Can we go back to back?

86
00:04:55,120 –> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: We have a chance to set the tone to put

87
00:04:57,600 –> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: everybody on their heels, not just in Houston, Texans. Every

88
00:05:00,800 –> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: team that thinks they’re gonna come challenge us for the

89
00:05:03,320 –> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 1: AFC Championship and go challenge us for a Super Bowl title.

90
00:05:06,400 –> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: And Tampa is gonna be watching trying to find out

91
00:05:09,040 –> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: how to beat our team, the Kansas City Chiefs. Let’s

92
00:05:12,240 –> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: jump into this Chief’s offense a little bit. You and

93
00:05:14,120 –> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: I’ve talked about it really for the last four months,

94
00:05:17,080 –> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: but Andy Reid, his creativity, how do you run it back?

95
00:05:20,520 –> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: You’ve got to stay fresh, you got to reboot it,

96
00:05:22,560 –> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: even though you got returning players, and yet you’ve got

97
00:05:25,520 –> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: some new players that you mentioned, Clyde Edwards, Hilaire. The

98
00:05:29,200 –> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: guy that I’m really excited about two is Colletio Summily

99
00:05:31,920 –> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: at left guard. If he’s healthy. It’s a game changer.

100
00:05:34,640 –> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: You go, how can a left guard be a game changer?

101
00:05:36,760 –> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: Just watch the dude and what allows Andy to run.

102
00:05:40,640 –> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: But the imagination of Andy, we’ve seen it already. There’s

103
00:05:43,440 –> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: some new stuff the Chiefs will throw out there with

104
00:05:46,640 –> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: some guys that people know and some of the people don’t.

105
00:05:48,839 –> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: But it’s just that imagination that keeps things fresh, and

106
00:05:51,680 –> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: that a quarterback that makes it fresh every snap. Yeah,

107
00:05:55,000 –> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: some teams have to go out and acquire a new personnel.

108
00:05:58,360 –> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: They need a new set of skills, a new set

109
00:06:00,839 –> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: of players in order to turn the chapter. But coach

110
00:06:03,200 –> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: Andy Reid can take the same guys, the same proving veterans,

111
00:06:08,320 –> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 1: and turn the chapter to a whole new set of plays,

112
00:06:10,720 –> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: a whole new philosophy of offense. It’s so exciting. We

113
00:06:14,480 –> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: want to know where is Kelsey gonna be lined up

114
00:06:17,400 –> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: this year? Sometimes at quarterbacks, sometimes at running back. Sometimes

115
00:06:21,560 –> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: he throws the ball, sometimes he hands it off, catching screens,

116
00:06:25,400 –> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: catching scenes, catches out and ups. He might be one

117
00:06:28,120 –> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: of the most versatile players in the NFL if you

118
00:06:30,240 –> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: watch where he lines up at throughout the season. So

119
00:06:33,480 –> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: just wondering how defenses are gonna adjust to where Kelsey

120
00:06:37,360 –> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: is gonna liign is what I’m so excited about when

121
00:06:39,920 –> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: you talk about our offense and don’t sleep on some

122
00:06:42,440 –> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: of these other dudes. G rob DeMarcus Robinson, Darwin Thompson,

123
00:06:46,480 –> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams is back and he brings at two twenty

124
00:06:49,040 –> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: five percent power coming at you. He’s the big brother

125
00:06:51,560 –> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: for Clyde Edward Hilaire. This is also about guys that

126
00:06:54,560 –> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: are kind of returning, like oh, yeah he’s back from

127
00:06:57,080 –> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: an injury, or yeah he could be going into his

128
00:06:59,000 –> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: second year. That’s also a way that this team kind

129
00:07:01,800 –> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: of keeps it fresh and keeps it They just keep

130
00:07:04,000 –> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: their skills home. There is no feeling of like let’s

131
00:07:06,680 –> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: just set back. Yeah, coach Andy Heck does a great job.

132
00:07:09,440 –> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: But an offensive line, the more we don’t mention them,

133
00:07:12,160 –> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: the better they are. Every offensive line talks about that.

134
00:07:15,080 –> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: They don’t want to be talked about in the paper.

135
00:07:17,000 –> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: They don’t want to be talked about any highlight reels.

136
00:07:19,440 –> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: They know they’re doing their job because the only time

137
00:07:22,040 –> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: you mentioned offensive linement is when they get beat on

138
00:07:23,960 –> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: the stunt beat for a sack or miss a block

139
00:07:26,800 –> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: when it comes to a run. So the less we

140
00:07:28,720 –> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: hear about them, and there the highlight. The spotlight gets

141
00:07:32,000 –> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: put on our skill players. That means they’re doing their

142
00:07:34,560 –> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: job and they’ve been doing it at a high level.

143
00:07:36,760 –> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: All right, Now, let’s focus in on this offense against

144
00:07:39,720 –> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: this Texan defense. And there’s some unknown here. Romeo Colonel

145
00:07:43,360 –> 00:07:45,119
Speaker 1: is still on their staff. We know him, the former

146
00:07:45,480 –> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: coach of the Chiefs, been defensive coordinator for the Texans

147
00:07:48,480 –> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: for a long time. He’s now associate head coach. Anthony Weaver,

148
00:07:52,920 –> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 1: former player in the National Football League, much like yourself,

149
00:07:57,120 –> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: he kind of cut his teeth on Rex Ryan aggressiveness.

150
00:08:00,160 –> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: He is now the defensive coordinator with no preseason. They’re

151
00:08:04,040 –> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: not going to show tricks in the preseason. But shop

152
00:08:06,760 –> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: you know this, they show you a template. They give

153
00:08:09,240 –> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: you an idea of like, here’s our basic framework of

154
00:08:11,560 –> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: how we’re gonna do this. Chiefs didn’t see that from Houston.

155
00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: And even though there’s a familiar opponent, this could be

156
00:08:17,280 –> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: an unfamiliar defensive approach with a new defensive coordinator in

157
00:08:21,600 –> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: Texan Land. Yeah, and one thing you would worry about

158
00:08:24,360 –> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: when a defensive coordinator is new to the league is

159
00:08:27,080 –> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: that there is no track record, there’s no there’s no

160
00:08:30,040 –> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: third and this amount of distance. He always blitz his

161
00:08:33,240 –> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: or he plays cover zone and his red zone defense

162
00:08:36,679 –> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: is always a quarter coverage, or he manned matches match zones.

163
00:08:40,880 –> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: You have, you have no resume to go back to.

164
00:08:43,360 –> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: But what you know about Anthony, like you said, you

165
00:08:45,240 –> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: know he has an aggressive history. He comes under the

166
00:08:49,160 –> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: twoledge of a lot of the more aggressive Sigma callers,

167
00:08:52,960 –> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: and so when in doubt, you can almost anticipate there’s

168
00:08:57,360 –> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of pressure trying to get Pat

169
00:08:59,559 –> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes a little bit uncomfortable, because the worst thing you

170
00:09:02,040 –> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: can do in week one is allowed Pat to get

171
00:09:04,240 –> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: in his groove early in the game because then it’s over.

172
00:09:06,559 –> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: So they’re gonna try to pretty much try to put

173
00:09:08,920 –> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: it in the offense’s hand and trying to keep that

174
00:09:10,920 –> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: defense off the field. But when the defense comes on,

175
00:09:13,360 –> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: they gotta be aggressive because they got to either stop us,

176
00:09:17,320 –> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: make us punt, or go for Pat, come after us,

177
00:09:21,480 –> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: let the offense score, and either way they get the

178
00:09:24,360 –> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: ball back to their own offense, their own weapon, which

179
00:09:27,679 –> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: is Deshaun Watson was one of the bright spots in

180
00:09:30,600 –> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. We’re gonna get to him in a second.

181
00:09:33,360 –> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Let’s go back Now though, one of the things Andy

182
00:09:35,960 –> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: Rea talked about with Patrick Mahomes is being able to

183
00:09:38,559 –> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: recognize coverages in a nanosecond, being recognized the defense in

184
00:09:42,400 –> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: a nanosecond. So Pat comes into this game a little

185
00:09:45,080 –> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: bit blind. We don’t know what Anthony Weaver’s gonna do.

186
00:09:47,160 –> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: We know there’s a lot of familiar players, but just

187
00:09:49,920 –> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: with Mahomes, it feels like he’s come a long way

188
00:09:52,280 –> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: since he entered the league. In going discoverage, it’s just

189
00:09:55,360 –> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: what they’re showing me. And even we’ve seen this and

190
00:09:58,160 –> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: you guys would do it when you were playing defense.

191
00:10:00,280 –> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: A Shawn is that I’m gonna show you the pre

192
00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: snap look, but when he wants the ball a snap

193
00:10:05,000 –> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you get this. But it

194
00:10:07,360 –> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: seems like Pat is better suited to see those quick

195
00:10:11,920 –> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: coverages or recognize it and know what to do as

196
00:10:14,679 –> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: a counterman man. You gotta think about it. Now, it’s

197
00:10:17,120 –> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: a new defense, new coordinator, but the person now, Zach

198
00:10:20,760 –> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: Cunningham is still a linebacker. Some of the safeties of

199
00:10:23,360 –> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: the still safety, so their tendencies is what Pat has

200
00:10:27,240 –> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: been picked up on. He’s been able to know, Hey,

201
00:10:29,600 –> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: as a linebacker, he gets a little shallow on certain blitzes,

202
00:10:34,400 –> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: on certain pressure coverages, he wants to hug his man.

203
00:10:37,200 –> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: He gets a little bit too wide, gets out of

204
00:10:39,280 –> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: his gap. When his man coverage in zone, he stays

205
00:10:41,760 –> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: nice and deep. He adds the quarterback in zone, he

206
00:10:44,480 –> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: watches it man. So those tendencies to stay the same.

207
00:10:47,040 –> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: It doesn’t matter who the coordinator is the players. He

208
00:10:50,320 –> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: still picks up on tennessees from the players, and that’s

209
00:10:52,920 –> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: gonna give away just as much about the defense. It

210
00:10:57,040 –> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: is not knowing or wondering or worrying about who the

211
00:11:00,679 –> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: coordinator is. Yeah, this wiverview this defense too. We don’t

212
00:11:05,360 –> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: know about J. J. Watt. He’s just got to stay healthy.

213
00:11:07,400 –> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: He’s had some serious injuries. But when he’s healthy, he

214
00:11:09,840 –> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: can wreck your game plan. But they got a mena

215
00:11:12,240 –> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: who they got some young guys. Ross Blacklock’s a rookie

216
00:11:14,520 –> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: at a TCU that’s a really good player. When you

217
00:11:17,160 –> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: look at their linebackers, Whitney Mercy is still there. You

218
00:11:20,160 –> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: look at Vernadrick McKinney still there, Cunningham’s a good coverage

219
00:11:23,400 –> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: guy out of the backfield. And then their secondaries lately

220
00:11:26,559 –> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: with first round draft picks, Garyon Conley’s there, Bradley Roby’s there.

221
00:11:30,640 –> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: You can go down the line and a couple of

222
00:11:32,040 –> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: ex chiefs Philip Gaines are in that secondary along with

223
00:11:34,840 –> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: Eric Murray as safety. But this is a defense that

224
00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: I think can run. I think there’s some quickness to them.

225
00:11:39,720 –> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: Plus they’ve got younger on their defensive front. We’ll see

226
00:11:42,320 –> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: how that plays out. Yeah, like you said, they’re gonna

227
00:11:44,679 –> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: hang their hat on JJ Watt and back. They’re a

228
00:11:48,720 –> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: little bit vulnerable in the back end. I think that’s

229
00:11:50,440 –> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: why you got to attack them in for our offense,

230
00:11:52,640 –> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: that’s where you don’t want to be vulnerable. You don’t

231
00:11:54,720 –> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: want to come up with a green secondary against as

232
00:11:58,360 –> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: many offense as weapons as we can to put out

233
00:12:00,440 –> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: on the field. So the linebackers gonna have to make

234
00:12:03,120 –> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: an impact. And when I say the linebackers have to

235
00:12:05,120 –> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: make an impact, it’s a it’s a technique called green

236
00:12:07,720 –> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: dog when you’re in man coverage and that running back

237
00:12:10,080 –> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: blocks and you gotta come to make sure you add

238
00:12:12,440 –> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: on to the blitz to try to make pad as

239
00:12:14,120 –> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: uncomfortable as possible. So I would I would think there’s

240
00:12:16,520 –> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of green dog that’s gonna go on a

241
00:12:18,120 –> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: lot of using the linebackers to try to spy Pad.

242
00:12:21,280 –> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: Um give them one Mississippi too, Mississippi, and they’re gonna

243
00:12:23,559 –> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: try to add to the blitz, try to find an

244
00:12:25,040 –> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: opening run game, open gap to put some m you know,

245
00:12:28,960 –> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: give Pad a little bit off his game early. But

246
00:12:31,320 –> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: what but what we gotta feel is that this team

247
00:12:34,160 –> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: really doesn’t match up well against the Kancer the Chiefs.

248
00:12:36,679 –> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: They don’t have anybody that can cover Kelsey. They don’t

249
00:12:39,559 –> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: have the speed down the field to be able to

250
00:12:41,400 –> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: run with Tyreek Hill or with Nicole Hartman, and they

251
00:12:45,040 –> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: aren’t physical enough to man up go one on one

252
00:12:48,280 –> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: with Sammy Walkers. Um, So it’s gonna be a dinking dunk.

253
00:12:53,120 –> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: Choose your weapons wherever you want to go to the ball.

254
00:12:55,320 –> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: It’s just a matter of catching the ball holding onto it.

255
00:12:57,679 –> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Because the one thing they can do is they can

256
00:12:59,720 –> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: they can be physical at the point of attack. They

257
00:13:01,679 –> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: can be physical once you have the ball in your hands.

258
00:13:04,280 –> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: And what Cunningham McKinney, what those those linebackers can do

259
00:13:08,240 –> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: is they can chase the ball, like you said, sideline

260
00:13:10,280 –> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: and sideline and put put a good hitting on running

261
00:13:13,320 –> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: backs and wide receivers. I mean that middle territory. You

262
00:13:16,679 –> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: lead me now to my next point. We’re gonna flip

263
00:13:18,400 –> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: it to the other side of the ball. But before

264
00:13:19,800 –> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: I do that, a reminder that defending the Kingdom is

265
00:13:22,480 –> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: brought to you by these Bows Headphones seven hundred. Shops

266
00:13:25,760 –> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: got his on. They’re so good. You can have them on.

267
00:13:27,960 –> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: You don’t even know they had them on, but eleven

268
00:13:31,920 –> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: different levels of noise cancelation with the Birds Headphones seven hundred.

269
00:13:37,960 –> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: Check them out at bows dot com. They’re phenomenal. They’ve

270
00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: been great for you and me or with through this

271
00:13:43,520 –> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: summer months getting ready for the season which starts Thursday

272
00:13:45,960 –> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: night against the Houston Texas. All right, now, you led

273
00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: to it. It goes back to your yard stick here

274
00:13:51,920 –> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: and that it’s commanding. That yard been in the line

275
00:13:54,000 –> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: of scrimmage right right there between the offensive line of

276
00:13:56,920 –> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: the defensive line. Let’s go back to October. They did

277
00:14:00,360 –> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: pressure Pat Mahomes, but the Chiefs had a seventeen to

278
00:14:03,520 –> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: three lead in that game. Was just a flip flop

279
00:14:06,200 –> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: of the playoff game because they outscored the Chiefs twenty

280
00:14:09,960 –> 00:14:13,239
Speaker 1: to nothing. The Texans did in that game in October,

281
00:14:13,440 –> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 1: it was only one of three times in what nineteen games.

282
00:14:16,360 –> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: The Chiefs were outscored at all in the second quarter,

283
00:14:18,920 –> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: but they got physical on defense. They were able to

284
00:14:21,240 –> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: Omana who gets a big sack on Pat Knox, it

285
00:14:23,440 –> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: out touchdown Texans. They take the lead. But on the

286
00:14:26,640 –> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: other side shot the Houston Texans in that October game

287
00:14:30,520 –> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: ran eighty three plays, the Chiefs ran forty seven. That’s

288
00:14:36,480 –> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: you punching your wife and I don’t want to get

289
00:14:39,360 –> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: one punch. What about winning the Linus Grimmage and trying

290
00:14:42,440 –> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: to figure out a way to get to Shaun Watson

291
00:14:44,960 –> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: and his teammates off the field. Man, the defense was

292
00:14:49,200 –> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: it was still coming together. We were still kind of

293
00:14:51,000 –> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: feeling ourselves. Everybody’s trying to figure out hiding a fit

294
00:14:53,640 –> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: and coast bags defense. So our run integrity, our gap

295
00:14:57,160 –> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: integrity was something to be a little bit. We wanted

296
00:14:59,880 –> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: to little bit more effort, a little bit more desire,

297
00:15:02,160 –> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: a little bit more physicality when it came to the

298
00:15:04,000 –> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: point of attack against the run game UM and and

299
00:15:06,680 –> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: that first game and that game against the Texans, they

300
00:15:08,800 –> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: exploited that UM. They came back and they ran the

301
00:15:12,480 –> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: ball downhill. They they controlled the time and possession. As

302
00:15:17,760 –> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: you mentioned, they ran twice the amount of plays as

303
00:15:20,280 –> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: our offense did, um and then capitalize off just possessing

304
00:15:24,400 –> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: the ball at such a great UH for so long.

305
00:15:27,240 –> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: Just to come out with a with a with a

306
00:15:29,400 –> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: slight victory with that many more plays shows you what

307
00:15:33,720 –> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: needs to be done to try to beat the Chiefs. Unfortunately,

308
00:15:37,120 –> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: losing d Hop he was a big part of that.

309
00:15:39,680 –> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: D Hop was a big part of that. We had

310
00:15:41,480 –> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: to UH. He demanded so much attention and resources that

311
00:15:45,080 –> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: allowed the running game to get out on the edges

312
00:15:47,760 –> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: and some creases in the middle. Without d Hop being

313
00:15:50,720 –> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: such an integral part of their their offense or a

314
00:15:53,280 –> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: personality or a receiver that you have to devote so

315
00:15:56,080 –> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: much time and attention, so many ads on that guy. Um.

316
00:15:59,160 –> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: It allows you to play kind of like we saw

317
00:16:01,280 –> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: at the second half of the season, everybody playing that part,

318
00:16:04,320 –> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: knowing your gap being gap sale, pursuing to the ball,

319
00:16:08,080 –> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: and then playing with the kind of physicality that Frank

320
00:16:10,440 –> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: Clark and Jones talked about it at the end of

321
00:16:13,720 –> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: the season. No one’s gonna come here to Kansas City

322
00:16:16,240 –> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: and run the ball like you saw Houston do earlier

323
00:16:18,680 –> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: last season. It’s gonna be more like what you saw

324
00:16:20,600 –> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: against Tennessee Titans. Texans trade DeAndre Hopkins, as you mentioned Arizona,

325
00:16:26,240 –> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: probably the most talked about trade of the all off

326
00:16:29,120 –> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: season in the NFL. But the hop interesting I went

327
00:16:32,000 –> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: I back and looked at it. Thirty three times. Thirty

328
00:16:34,960 –> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: three of his catches shop were on third down. Only

329
00:16:38,360 –> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and the New Orleans Saints had more. So

330
00:16:41,760 –> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: where now does de Sean go with the football on

331
00:16:44,240 –> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: third down? Going back to that October game your yardstick,

332
00:16:48,120 –> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: there was a fourth and one that they converted. Did

333
00:16:50,120 –> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: the Texans they converted a fourth down when they were

334
00:16:52,640 –> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: down seventeen to nine of the second quarter, they get

335
00:16:54,720 –> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown to get within one. Where did they go

336
00:16:57,240 –> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: on fourth down for those conversions? DeAndre Hopkins? So the

337
00:17:00,880 –> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: Texans now have to find another place to go and

338
00:17:03,440 –> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: to Sean, that was his go to guy. Now, I’m

339
00:17:06,280 –> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: also going to mention names people don’t know about unless

340
00:17:08,880 –> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: they’re a fan of a certain college team. Let’s see

341
00:17:11,960 –> 00:17:16,479
Speaker 1: Seth Tuttle, Hailey lang Strat going down the line here,

342
00:17:16,520 –> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: Wayne Whips. Who are those people? They’re all Northern Iowa fans.

343
00:17:20,480 –> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: They love the Northern Iowa Panthers and Seth Tuttle, who

344
00:17:22,800 –> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 1: are the greatest players of all time in basketball. They’re

345
00:17:25,400 –> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: all Chiefs fans. But they also remember when David Johnson

346
00:17:29,920 –> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: was in his prime with the Arizona Cardinals in twenty sixteen,

347
00:17:33,440 –> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: he led the NFL and touches he led, he had

348
00:17:36,080 –> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: eighty catches out of the backfield and he had two

349
00:17:39,400 –> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen yards. So shop is one of

350
00:17:42,600 –> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: the ways that maybe Deshaun Watson is looking to replaced

351
00:17:46,400 –> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: hop is get David Johnson the ball or Duke Johnson

352
00:17:50,280 –> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: another running back that they’ve got that is post problems

353
00:17:52,640 –> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: for the chief seat of the backfield in doing what

354
00:17:54,960 –> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: you made a living doing, and that is covering backs

355
00:17:57,080 –> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: out of the backfield as a linebacker. And the Texans

356
00:18:00,640 –> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: they like the Johnson name as much as we liked

357
00:18:02,320 –> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 1: the Williams when he talked about running backs. If your

358
00:18:05,520 –> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: last name is your first name is Adan, your last

359
00:18:07,520 –> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: name is Johnson, you go into the Texans um um.

360
00:18:10,200 –> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: Duke and David. Both of the Johnson’s are really weapons

361
00:18:12,920 –> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. You gotta give it to him.

362
00:18:14,320 –> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: Take their hats off. They excel um um in that

363
00:18:17,359 –> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 1: in that in that middle of the area. Running era

364
00:18:19,160 –> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: routes and seam routes. They have great hands. Um, they

365
00:18:22,280 –> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: do a good job of the screen game also. But

366
00:18:25,080 –> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: the good thing about seeing Andy’s offense all you know

367
00:18:28,400 –> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: training camp long is we go against a team full

368
00:18:32,000 –> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: of great running backs to the great receivers. And so

369
00:18:34,960 –> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: what we have we have a we have a lineback.

370
00:18:36,880 –> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: We just drafted Willie Gate Jr. He’s a guy that,

371
00:18:39,320 –> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: like I told you during the draft period, he’s a

372
00:18:41,240 –> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: guy that can run with anybody. He can run with

373
00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: anybody that doesn’t matter what the forty speed is. He

374
00:18:45,640 –> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: has great clothes and speed, has great coverability. Um, he

375
00:18:48,640 –> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: has a great awareness when it comes to the past

376
00:18:50,960 –> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: coverage and ben Nieman. Benneman is maybe one of the

377
00:18:53,560 –> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: most instinctful linebackers I’ve ever been around. And even though

378
00:18:57,000 –> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: he went undrafted, Um, what you know is about him.

379
00:19:00,160 –> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: You know he’s the son of a football guy. You

380
00:19:01,720 –> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: know he has he has football on his bloods, even

381
00:19:04,680 –> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: sometimes where he’s not coached to do it. He has

382
00:19:06,880 –> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: a certain field where he belongs, in a certain defense

383
00:19:09,640 –> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: he has he always ends up with the right leverage

384
00:19:11,800 –> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: just in Nickel time to get there, knocked that ball

385
00:19:14,520 –> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: down and with his strength and size and his quickness.

386
00:19:18,440 –> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: I think both of those two guys would definitely do

387
00:19:20,800 –> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: this defense. Um a hell of a job when it

388
00:19:23,560 –> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: comes to guarding to Houston Texans with David Johnson. Now,

389
00:19:27,240 –> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: to take anything away from David Johnson, he’s a He’s

390
00:19:29,640 –> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: been an All Pro multiple times, you know when he

391
00:19:33,080 –> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: was in Arizona. But this ain’t those days anymore. He

392
00:19:36,359 –> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: has to showcase and show somebody he deserves that respect

393
00:19:39,600 –> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: because he hasn’t been that for him in a few years. Yeah,

394
00:19:43,600 –> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: they’ve got some They got some weapons on this team,

395
00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: and they got a lot of speed. They get picked

396
00:19:46,840 –> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: up cooks. Uh you look at what they did. They

397
00:19:49,359 –> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 1: picked up car. They picked up some dudes that can

398
00:19:51,720 –> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: run four three. They have Will Fuller the fifth, So

399
00:19:54,080 –> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: they got some guys that can go. It’s just too

400
00:19:56,240 –> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: replacements that DeAndre Hopkins role, which is enormous for them. Okay,

401
00:20:01,280 –> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: we always leave special teams to the end, like it’s

402
00:20:03,400 –> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: the scraps. Not on this Chiefs team. I think, I think,

403
00:20:08,520 –> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: and you know, these guys as ambassadors. This is the

404
00:20:11,320 –> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: best core of special teams players the Chiefs have had

405
00:20:14,720 –> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: since the Marty Schottenheimer kind of mid to late nineties days,

406
00:20:18,760 –> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: the Monuskies, the Danon hughes Is, the guys that made

407
00:20:21,840 –> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: a living playing special teams. Look at this team. You

408
00:20:24,480 –> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: got Pringle, who’s can be a four core dude, really good.

409
00:20:27,480 –> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: You mentioned Neim and he’s there. They get Antonio Hamilton

410
00:20:30,520 –> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: from the Giants. That’s his job. I mean, that’s what

411
00:20:32,720 –> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: he does, how he’s made his living. You go right

412
00:20:35,640 –> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: down the line, Sherman Sausage is still there, Dorian O’Daniel,

413
00:20:39,600 –> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: Marcus Camp. These are all guys that could become all

414
00:20:43,080 –> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: by themselves, the lynch pin of a special teams group,

415
00:20:45,680 –> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: like Matthew Slater of New England. Now you’ve got a

416
00:20:48,440 –> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: room rooms full of these guys. I’m really excited about

417
00:20:52,119 –> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 1: this Special team’s approach from Kansas City. I think they’re

418
00:20:55,880 –> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: gonna win games with it. I think they’re gonna dominate

419
00:20:58,280 –> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: games with it. Yeah, talked about Matthew Slayder, and I

420
00:21:02,240 –> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: remember a guy Izzozo was also a phenomenal special teams guy.

421
00:21:07,720 –> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: When you got six guys on your roster who you

422
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: know are basically ninety eight percent focused on being dominant

423
00:21:15,119 –> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: special teams player, they have a role they can fill

424
00:21:17,720 –> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: in if needed day they will know they’re one player away.

425
00:21:20,240 –> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: But they realized the way, the reason in the path

426
00:21:22,920 –> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: that they got to this fifty three man roster was

427
00:21:25,680 –> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: through Dave told he stood up on the table, he

428
00:21:28,040 –> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: battled for him. He palmed at the table and says,

429
00:21:30,440 –> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: those are my guys. Those are four cores Special teams guy,

430
00:21:34,000 –> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: and they will make sure that our special teams ends

431
00:21:36,880 –> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: up being a dominant force in a in a plus

432
00:21:39,640 –> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: towards us having been a victorious rather than being a negative.

433
00:21:43,760 –> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: Some teams do not have the depth to allow to

434
00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: have that many cores Special teams guys. And they’re hoping

435
00:21:50,560 –> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: that their fourth wide out can be a gunner. They’re

436
00:21:53,240 –> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: hoping their fourth corner can find a way to be

437
00:21:57,760 –> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: a vice guy to lock people down on all the

438
00:22:00,400 –> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: cover punts. And so those are those are guys are

439
00:22:02,960 –> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna be I’m relied on for other teams to play

440
00:22:06,440 –> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: snaps and also plays um special teams will take advantage

441
00:22:10,840 –> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: of that our court. Those six guys you named, they’re

442
00:22:13,800 –> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: not gonna only excel during special teams. But what I

443
00:22:17,280 –> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: know is when you’re really good at special teams, you

444
00:22:19,560 –> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: start picking out the starters playing special teams, and those

445
00:22:22,680 –> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: are guys you make work extra hard on every special

446
00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: team snap because it takes a little bit out of

447
00:22:28,800 –> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: their tank. It takes a little bit out of the tank.

448
00:22:31,160 –> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: As the fourth quarters go on and we get to

449
00:22:33,200 –> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, that starter who also dibbles and devils

450
00:22:35,720 –> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: and special teams because doreno Daniel right, because because Marcus Kemp,

451
00:22:42,000 –> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: because our core special teams guy have been vising double

452
00:22:45,160 –> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 1: team and them making them work the entire snap. That

453
00:22:47,720 –> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: guy’s gonna have a little bit less energy and might

454
00:22:50,560 –> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: miss one play in the fourth quarter. That is a

455
00:22:52,320 –> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: difference in the ball game. And do not forget the

456
00:22:55,280 –> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: great comeback against these guys and the playoffs was killed guy,

457
00:22:59,240 –> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: I’m a cole had him in fifty eight yard return

458
00:23:01,880 –> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: was keyed by dirty Dan Sorens and sniffing out the

459
00:23:04,920 –> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: fake punt was keyed by Alex Brandon, dirty Dan Sorens

460
00:23:08,720 –> 00:23:10,840
