The Hunted | Defending The Kingdom 9/17

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

2
00:00:02,759 –> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: opportunity in this game, you make a play her Micaus,

3
00:00:05,040 –> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: don’t touchdown chancea city. The cheat’s all right. In the

4
00:00:11,880 –> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: thick of a baby. It’s time to play division football.

5
00:00:24,239 –> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: It is time for defending the Kingdom Division style. And

6
00:00:29,200 –> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: this one is entitled The Hunted. Mitch Alter’s with you,

7
00:00:33,040 –> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: the Voice of the Chiefs, and I am joined by

8
00:00:35,440 –> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: my guy, the man we call the Shop the barber Shop,

9
00:00:38,200 –> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: the Spider Man. He’s his own comic book. And I

10
00:00:41,520 –> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: say that as a compliment. He’s his own superhero. Sean Barbourn.

11
00:00:45,479 –> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Sean, I love your headphones though the

12
00:00:48,080 –> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: Boys seven hundred. I was using these last night. I

13
00:00:51,640 –> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: was working on the game, and I wanted to go

14
00:00:53,680 –> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: to another planet and I’m like tuning everybody out in

15
00:00:57,040 –> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: the house. I’m gonna go to Neptune and I’m gonna

16
00:00:58,960 –> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: work on the Chargers and I flew away with these.

17
00:01:01,600 –> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I didn’t know these were able to space travel in

18
00:01:03,920 –> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: these bow seven. Man, these things are amazing. Man. You know,

19
00:01:08,000 –> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: I got a house full of seven, six kids and

20
00:01:10,680 –> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: a wife, and so every room of my house is

21
00:01:13,480 –> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: a different dimension. So like you said, when I need

22
00:01:15,840 –> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: to zone out, when I need to just have my

23
00:01:17,560 –> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: own little my quan, find my piece, my salad place.

24
00:01:21,360 –> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: Make sure my ying and my yang are totally equally

25
00:01:25,000 –> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: yoked for me to get into my Chiefs and mentality.

26
00:01:27,600 –> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: To defend the kingdom is only one way to do

27
00:01:29,840 –> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: it with these bows seven hundreds, they are awesome. Eleven

28
00:01:32,920 –> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: levels of noise cancelation. Well, what is not going to

29
00:01:35,360 –> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: be canceled is Division football and the Chiefs this week

30
00:01:38,360 –> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: go to Los Angeles to that. Speaking of space travel,

31
00:01:42,040 –> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: the space ship that they built in La a five

32
00:01:45,400 –> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: billion dollars stadium. I feel like Doctor Evil on those

33
00:01:47,920 –> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: Austin Power movies. Five billion dollars stadium and the Chiefs

34
00:01:53,640 –> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: are going on the road for the first time. But

35
00:01:55,120 –> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: we’re going to entitle this defending the Kingdom the Hunted,

36
00:01:58,120 –> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: because let’s just put this in perspective. The Chiefs have

37
00:02:00,720 –> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: been and I’m not going to say this as being arrogant,

38
00:02:03,280 –> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: so I just want everybody to kind of understand this.

39
00:02:05,920 –> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have beaten the Chargers eleven out of twelve times.

40
00:02:09,240 –> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: If you take the India read Air, it’s really twelve

41
00:02:11,360 –> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: out of fourteen because if Bryant suck Up would have

42
00:02:14,160 –> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: made a forty one yard field goal in the last

43
00:02:15,919 –> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: game of twenty thirteen season. The Chiefs jvs were have

44
00:02:19,639 –> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: knocked the Chargers out of the playoffs that year. I

45
00:02:22,240 –> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: know that’s ancient history, but you knew this entering the

46
00:02:25,480 –> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: league as a Redskin. You didn’t particularly like the Giants,

47
00:02:28,160 –> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: you really didn’t like the Eagles. You’d shirt in like

48
00:02:30,360 –> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and when you were here as a chief

49
00:02:33,520 –> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: we were chasing Peyton Manning. Okay, Now the Chargers are

50
00:02:37,880 –> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: sick of losing to the Chiefs, and they’re not really

51
00:02:40,000 –> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: fond of Patrick Mahomes being an MVP of everything. So

52
00:02:43,360 –> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: let’s talk about being the hunted and playing division football

53
00:02:45,960 –> 00:02:47,679
Speaker 1: and for the Chiefs to try to stay dominant in

54
00:02:47,680 –> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: the AFC West. I think, first of all, I stall

55
00:02:50,520 –> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: us olf with their mentality. If you allow yourself to

56
00:02:52,760 –> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: believe that you are the lead dog, if you’re an

57
00:02:55,560 –> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: alpha dog, that everybody is chasing you, then you start

58
00:02:59,160 –> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: looking behind. And one thing Andy and the coaches staff,

59
00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: they do a tremendous job of continuously to challenge our

60
00:03:05,480 –> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: guys on a daily basis, everyday at practice, trying to

61
00:03:08,639 –> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: get better at something fine, tune in detailing your work

62
00:03:12,560 –> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: third down, short yardage, red zone, offense, special teams, leverage

63
00:03:17,600 –> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: on your coverage. I’m high pointing the ball receivers, looking

64
00:03:21,400 –> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: at it in running backs, ball security, all these little

65
00:03:24,440 –> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: things that matter in game time. If you focus on

66
00:03:27,160 –> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: the fundamentals, the fundamentals will always take care of the product.

67
00:03:30,800 –> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: And speaking of that, let’s just glance back at this

68
00:03:32,880 –> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Texing game as it bounces us into this Charger game

69
00:03:35,560 –> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: in LA on Sunday seven to thirteen. On third downs

70
00:03:39,320 –> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: outstanding red zone. Third down in the red zone became

71
00:03:42,840 –> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: touchdowns and the execution one penalty in all three phases.

72
00:03:47,480 –> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: One penalty, I mean COVID or non COVID. I mean,

73
00:03:51,120 –> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: if that was like, I’ve not seen that clean of

74
00:03:54,000 –> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: an opening game, I don’t think in my twenty seven

75
00:03:55,920 –> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: years in this league. I think it might be actually

76
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: a byproduct of the COVID. I mean, I think some

77
00:04:00,600 –> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: coaches looked at COVID as being a structure, an obstacle,

78
00:04:04,560 –> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: and then some coaches took it as a challenge. I

79
00:04:07,400 –> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: think Andy took it as a challenge. How can I

80
00:04:10,560 –> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: do it a little duell it? Damn? How can I

81
00:04:13,800 –> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: I’m fine tune. How can I just cut all the

82
00:04:16,440 –> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: fat off the meat and just have a good product

83
00:04:19,279 –> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: to give my players a good fifteen plays to start

84
00:04:22,480 –> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: out with, and then once I expand outside those fifteen,

85
00:04:25,520 –> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: can those plays still be a derivative of the fundamental

86
00:04:29,480 –> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: package we put in and not put in a whole

87
00:04:31,640 –> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: bunch of new shifts and motions concepts that we really

88
00:04:34,440 –> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: haven’t done game speed. So what I saw from the

89
00:04:36,880 –> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: Chiefs is a very fundamentally sound first fifteen and then

90
00:04:41,160 –> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: after that coaches, he really went back to some of

91
00:04:44,360 –> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: the basic concepts that he knows Pat really likes and

92
00:04:47,440 –> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: the offensive line really likes. It’s hard to say Clyde

93
00:04:51,880 –> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: likes because this is the first year here, but I

94
00:04:53,800 –> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: think Arab enemy and the running backs like the philosophy

95
00:04:58,480 –> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: of us going in that first week and having really

96
00:05:01,400 –> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: a run centric game plan to begin it. And then

97
00:05:04,400 –> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: once past started to air it out, he saw the

98
00:05:06,720 –> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: defenses playing top down, trying to take away all the deep,

99
00:05:09,480 –> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: deep balls. So then he focused on the mid game,

100
00:05:12,120 –> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: the short game, and the running attack, and he was

101
00:05:14,920 –> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: able to take control of the game using that philosophy. Okay,

102
00:05:18,200 –> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: because of that philosophy, though, to do that philosophy. It

103
00:05:21,720 –> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: leads me into this week and being the hunted going

104
00:05:24,480 –> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: into LA. And that is the offensive line, the Chief’s

105
00:05:28,040 –> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: offensive line in that Houston game. I loved it. It

106
00:05:31,520 –> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: looked like the offensive line that you played with in

107
00:05:34,040 –> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the Chief meaning a little edgy. Yeah, let you assimilar

108
00:05:37,839 –> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: brings that a little bit of edge playing the old

109
00:05:39,680 –> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: line like a d lineman. Fish can do that too

110
00:05:42,320 –> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: in the run game. We also saw it with Wiley

111
00:05:44,920 –> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: on the right side with Schwartz. So okay, you’re telling

112
00:05:48,120 –> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: me that philosophy, but to do that philosophy, your offensive

113
00:05:51,520 –> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: line has got to bring it. These guys brought it.

114
00:05:54,320 –> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: Now here comes Melvin Ingram, Joey if Bosa, Linval Joseph,

115
00:05:57,640 –> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: the former to the Vikings is now on this team,

116
00:06:00,480 –> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: starting his career with the New York Chants. And this

117
00:06:03,320 –> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: is a good defense. But up front, the line of

118
00:06:05,400 –> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: scrimmage on Sunday will be interesting to watch based on

119
00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: what you just told me. Yeah, I mean, we know

120
00:06:11,080 –> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers have some great edge rushers and now they

121
00:06:13,720 –> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: have some inside presence. Also, they have no flat zone

122
00:06:17,640 –> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: on the secondary. Guys that’s been making plays for years. Um,

123
00:06:21,120 –> 00:06:24,119
Speaker 1: But when it comes down to being a physical team,

124
00:06:24,560 –> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: being a striker team, creating turnovers, the things you have

125
00:06:28,200 –> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: to do to stop Pat mahomes the Chargers just having

126
00:06:31,800 –> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: been great at getting off the field when it comes

127
00:06:34,040 –> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: to stopping the Chiefs offense, they we’ve been able to

128
00:06:37,279 –> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: have long drives, long scoring drives um. And that’s something

129
00:06:41,600 –> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: that I see probably happening again this weekend because Pat

130
00:06:44,680 –> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: is becoming more comfortable with what he’s seeing, not just

131
00:06:48,240 –> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: the grasp of offense, not just the philosophy of what

132
00:06:51,279 –> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: Andy wants to do. But his eyes aren’t lying to

133
00:06:53,800 –> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: him anymore. It’s hard to deceive. It’s hard to to

134
00:06:57,800 –> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: run the bluff coverage and trap mahone into making a

135
00:07:00,640 –> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: bad throw when he’s so patient now and even though

136
00:07:04,040 –> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: he’s looking deep, he knows he can go back to

137
00:07:06,200 –> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: that deep ball later. If it’s there now, it will

138
00:07:08,320 –> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: be there later. But let me go ahead and move

139
00:07:10,160 –> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: the change, let me stay in manageable third downs, continue

140
00:07:13,760 –> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: to move the field, change the field position, get us

141
00:07:16,240 –> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: in scoring position, and then let’s get a touchdown. Instead

142
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: of scoring in six plays, he’s looking at like a

143
00:07:21,480 –> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: sixteen play as his true goal of a scoring drive.

144
00:07:25,120 –> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: And that’s a whole different mindset that I don’t think

145
00:07:27,480 –> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: anybody is ready for with Pat Mahomes, Yeah, I talked

146
00:07:30,360 –> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: to him this week. We had him on The Chief’s

147
00:07:32,520 –> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: Kingdom radio show on Monday night. I had a chance

148
00:07:34,560 –> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: to be with him one on one or talk to

149
00:07:36,520 –> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: him one on one zoom call you know you, and

150
00:07:38,720 –> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: I gave the analogy of him being a boxer. I

151
00:07:40,680 –> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: told him I’m so proud of him just the way

152
00:07:43,040 –> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: he’s grown and being patient. And I’m gonna give a

153
00:07:45,640 –> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: baseball analogy because your son’s really good baseball player. You

154
00:07:49,960 –> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: don’t hit the pitch. The pitcher wants you to try

155
00:07:52,280 –> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: to swing at You hit your pitch, and that takes

156
00:07:55,280 –> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: discipline and patience. But when I get it, I got it,

157
00:07:58,480 –> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: and it’s going over the wall or into a gap someplace.

158
00:08:01,160 –> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: And to me, that’s the step he has taken is

159
00:08:04,240 –> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: he won’t take the shot the Chargers want him to take.

160
00:08:06,720 –> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: He’s gonna take the shot he wants to take and

161
00:08:09,280 –> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: attack them. Yeah, and we know where they head, coach,

162
00:08:11,600 –> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: They’re gonna be creative on the defensive side. They have

163
00:08:14,240 –> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: the pass Russian and the personnel to do a lot

164
00:08:16,520 –> 00:08:19,679
Speaker 1: of creativity. They have safeties to can play corner corners

165
00:08:19,680 –> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: and can play safety. The linebackers can get on the

166
00:08:22,040 –> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: outside the outside guys getting so they can run a

167
00:08:25,680 –> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: melee of different defensive packages and personnel. But at the

168
00:08:29,560 –> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: end of the day, they still have to cover our guys.

169
00:08:32,120 –> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: We still got guys that can go vertical on anybody.

170
00:08:35,440 –> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: I still don’t think they have the top end speed

171
00:08:37,280 –> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: to stay with our guys over the top without getting

172
00:08:39,080 –> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: some help. And the second we notice that the safeties

173
00:08:41,880 –> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: are having to help on deep routes, that totally opens

174
00:08:45,080 –> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 1: up the entire middle of the field for Travis Kelsey,

175
00:08:50,480 –> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: now for our Clyde Hilaire, for our lineback, for our

176
00:08:55,720 –> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: tight end, and our running back to just take advantage

177
00:08:58,080 –> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: of all the meat medium short range completions and then

178
00:09:02,360 –> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: you have to come and tackle them. And the one

179
00:09:04,200 –> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: thing we thought it was so exciting about clad Hilaire

180
00:09:06,840 –> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: is after contact. He was amazing after contact this last

181
00:09:12,080 –> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: Thursday night. And you said it too, when you play

182
00:09:15,160 –> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: back on defense, well you told we talked about it

183
00:09:17,080 –> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs Rewind video show that we had on

184
00:09:20,360 –> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: our Chief’s platforms. Is what I’m playing back And now

185
00:09:23,800 –> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: I’ve got to come up against a guy like Clyde

186
00:09:25,679 –> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire, He’s got a five yard head start on me.

187
00:09:28,240 –> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: This isn’t inside of a closet. This is in like outside,

188
00:09:32,840 –> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: and so that the clothes on him is a whole

189
00:09:35,760 –> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 1: different story. I do like the Charger defensive personnel. I

190
00:09:38,760 –> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: liked him. I didn’t like him, but I thought they

191
00:09:40,920 –> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: made a good move. And getting Kenneth Murray, the linebacker

192
00:09:42,920 –> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma. He’s an athlete, he could cover and

193
00:09:46,240 –> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: he’s and he can cover that ground and make that play.

194
00:09:49,480 –> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: And then you mentioned the guys in the secondary. These

195
00:09:51,360 –> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: are Pro Bowl guys. I mean Casey Hayward at twelve

196
00:09:54,000 –> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: tackles last week and they win at Cincinnati. Chris Harris,

197
00:09:57,080 –> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: we know about him, the KU guy was a free

198
00:09:59,440 –> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: agent with Broncos and became a Pro Bowl, perennial Pro Bowler.

199
00:10:04,120 –> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: And then Desmond King, who I think it’s a tough

200
00:10:06,040 –> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: dude who plays back there in kind of that safety

201
00:10:08,520 –> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: corner hybrid. But here’s something from them. You brought this up,

202
00:10:11,600 –> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: and I’ll take it a step further. These guys only

203
00:10:14,280 –> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: had fourteen takeaways all last year. And I’m mentioned these guys.

204
00:10:18,000 –> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: These the same guys other than Murray, and Lynball, Joseph Shock.

205
00:10:21,520 –> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: They only had fourteen takeaways. These guys were minus seventeen

206
00:10:25,160 –> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: last year in the giveaway takeaway and you’re not gonna

207
00:10:28,000 –> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: win on any planet, in any neighborhood if you’re minus seventeen. Well, defensively,

208
00:10:33,600 –> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: their philosophies to be very aggressive and they stay in

209
00:10:36,240 –> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: a lot of man coverage. They want to bump, they

210
00:10:38,080 –> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: want to reroute, they want to run underneath routes, they

211
00:10:40,920 –> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: have safety help over the top. They call it a

212
00:10:42,840 –> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: man two concept. They’re chasing and trailing routes, so they

213
00:10:45,960 –> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: get a lot of pass play passes defeflected and PBUs

214
00:10:50,160 –> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. The unfortunate thing about man coverage

215
00:10:53,160 –> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: is because you’re chasing a man all the time and

216
00:10:55,200 –> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: you’re not you don’t have your eyes on the ball,

217
00:10:56,960 –> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: so you don’t you don’t really put yourself in a

218
00:10:58,480 –> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: position to make a lot of plays on the ball

219
00:11:00,520 –> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: like you do when you play a zone man concept

220
00:11:03,400 –> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: match zone concept where you have eyes on the quarterback.

221
00:11:06,320 –> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 1: So last week, right we brought the honey Badger off

222
00:11:09,240 –> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: the edge. He got his hand on the balls flat

223
00:11:11,960 –> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: floating up in the air and sneed his eyes on

224
00:11:14,840 –> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: the ball. He can react to its gonna make a play.

225
00:11:16,960 –> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: Imagine that same play being a man coverage. That ball

226
00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 1: falls on the ground, no hurt, no hurt, no hurt,

227
00:11:22,160 –> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: no foul, It just goes to the next dawn. So

228
00:11:24,520 –> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: that’s what they do. They believe in very tight, aggressive

229
00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: coverage on the back end because it does give their

230
00:11:30,960 –> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: end rushers a take more time to get there because

231
00:11:34,000 –> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: they’re playing so tight in their coverage and they’re trying

232
00:11:36,559 –> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: to they’re trying to feed it a cover sack what

233
00:11:39,080 –> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: we call it sometime, just allowing an extra second and

234
00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: extra count in a half for Ingram and Bosa to

235
00:11:44,679 –> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: get home to the quarterback. All right, let’s go to

236
00:11:47,440 –> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: the second part of this Defending the Kingdom episode called

237
00:11:50,080 –> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the Hunted Meeting. The Chiefs are gonna go to to

238
00:11:52,720 –> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: La this week and try to stay dominant in a division.

239
00:11:55,320 –> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: They’re twenty seven and three against the AFC West. They’re

240
00:11:58,480 –> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: beating the Chargers eleven and twelve times. The Chiefs last

241
00:12:02,040 –> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: Sunday loss in a division was twenty fourteen. All three

242
00:12:06,320 –> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 1: of those losses were on Thursday nights. All right, now,

243
00:12:08,600 –> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: let’s go to the next part I mentioned last year

244
00:12:11,040 –> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: minus seventeen in the giveaway. Takeaway, I’m gonna give you

245
00:12:13,840 –> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: another one. In the last four years, the Chargers have

246
00:12:17,280 –> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: given the ball to the Chiefs in the eight games,

247
00:12:20,400 –> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 1: eighteen times, eighteen giveaways. Comes into the next part of

248
00:12:25,360 –> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: this discussion. And the guy that I respect a lot,

249
00:12:28,440 –> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: and I’ve respected him every day he’s been in the league,

250
00:12:31,360 –> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: and that’s Tyrod Taylor. Tyrod Taylor’s quarterback in this team. Okay,

251
00:12:35,120 –> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: maybe he’s keeping the chair warm for Justin Herbert, the

252
00:12:37,640 –> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: kid they’ve drafted out of Oregon this year in the draft.

253
00:12:40,480 –> 00:12:43,559
Speaker 1: But Tyrod Taylor, let’s just back up the truck here,

254
00:12:43,679 –> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: pump the brakes. Twenty five, twenty one and one as

255
00:12:47,840 –> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: a starter, He’s two and two against the Chiefs. He’s

256
00:12:52,160 –> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: been with four different teams against the Chiefs. We saw

257
00:12:54,600 –> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor as a Raven, we saw him as a Bill,

258
00:12:56,880 –> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: we saw him as a Brown. Now we’re seeing as

259
00:12:58,720 –> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: a Charger. He’s not going to give you the ball.

260
00:13:03,360 –> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: They won last week sixteen thirteen at Cincinnati. We could say, yeah,

261
00:13:07,160 –> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: the kicker had a you know, gaff at the end.

262
00:13:09,280 –> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: He blew up his calf or his offense. They were

263
00:13:12,600 –> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: plus two Shop, the Chargers were plus two, Tyrod Taylor

264
00:13:17,360 –> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: wasn’t spectacular, but he was steady. They are not going

265
00:13:22,240 –> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: to hand you the ball anymore. I don’t think with

266
00:13:24,679 –> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. Yeah, Tyrod has done a phenomenal

267
00:13:28,200 –> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: job his entire career. We talk about game manager, and obviously,

268
00:13:32,000 –> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: to most spectators, that’s a that’s a faux pat. You

269
00:13:34,280 –> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 1: don’t ever want to hear your quarterback being called a

270
00:13:36,679 –> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: game manager. That’s like a girl calling you a close

271
00:13:40,040 –> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: friend when you’re trying to data right. But but Tyrod

272
00:13:43,400 –> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 1: is a guy who’s he’s made some smart plays. He

273
00:13:45,840 –> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: makes He makes all the needed throws underneath. He’s never

274
00:13:49,640 –> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: had a strong arm to be able to attack vertical

275
00:13:52,800 –> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: but most offenses they do slant routes, they do out routes,

276
00:13:56,040 –> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: they do stops, screenplays. He’s mobile enough that if you

277
00:14:00,640 –> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: give him some some exit paths, he can make it.

278
00:14:03,960 –> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: He can make a first down using his legs. But

279
00:14:06,400 –> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: he’s smart enough to know if it’s not dare throw

280
00:14:08,360 –> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: it away, he survives the down. He always tries to

281
00:14:12,160 –> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: end every drive with the kick, whether it’s a punt,

282
00:14:15,040 –> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: extra point, that’s his goal. He doesn’t want to turn

283
00:14:17,440 –> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: the ball over. He wants to let his defense play.

284
00:14:20,160 –> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: He’s always been a very headsy, heads up type football player,

285
00:14:24,280 –> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: and some of the franchise he’s been with just haven’t

286
00:14:27,160 –> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: been He hasn’t been really surrounded by great talent. And

287
00:14:30,280 –> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: so to say he’s twenty five, twenty one and one,

288
00:14:32,800 –> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: I mean that’s a winning record for a long NFL

289
00:14:35,080 –> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: career when most of the times he hasn’t been surrounded

290
00:14:37,600 –> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: by the best personnel available. So you gotta take a

291
00:14:41,440 –> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: time your hat off and note it. I mean, he’s

292
00:14:43,280 –> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: a gamer. He’s gonna come in in a gamer. And

293
00:14:45,720 –> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: if they can hold onto the ball, that’s a challenge

294
00:14:48,360 –> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: us on defense. If he doesn’t give it away, then

295
00:14:50,760 –> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: we gotta take it away. That means punching the ball out,

296
00:14:53,560 –> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: coming back behind him, stripping the ball, high, pointing balls,

297
00:14:57,080 –> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: getting tip balls, same thing we did last week. So

298
00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: it’s the challenge to a defense. And I’m gonna throw

299
00:15:02,000 –> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: the ball fifty fifty, throw it up for grabs. Then

300
00:15:04,840 –> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: you got to force the ball come out. And we

301
00:15:06,440 –> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: got just the personnel Frank Clark, Chris Jones, we got

302
00:15:09,880 –> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: just the gas coming after him. They can really turn

303
00:15:12,560 –> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: that ball over. The best work can give and I’ve

304
00:15:16,920 –> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: described Tyrod Taylor this week is honre. He is just

305
00:15:20,760 –> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: an honre guy to play against. And keep in mind,

306
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs Kingdom folks listen and watching this podcast

307
00:15:26,480 –> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: are going, oh, come on, man, Tyrod Taylor, I’ll rent

308
00:15:29,240 –> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: a theater tonight. I’ll invite you. Well, we can’t COVID,

309
00:15:32,040 –> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: but we might get spread out and I’ll show you

310
00:15:34,080 –> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: the twenty seventeen Buffalo Bill sixteen to ten win over

311
00:15:37,680 –> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Brought Taylor at quarterback. He ran

312
00:15:41,160 –> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: the ball nine times. To your point, he only had

313
00:15:43,760 –> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: nineteen completions, no turnovers in that game. And the Bill’s

314
00:15:47,320 –> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: want at Arrowhead sixteen to ten with the team that

315
00:15:50,000 –> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 1: won’t be confused with Mark Leavy’s Bills. All Right. The

316
00:15:53,000 –> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: other thing is before we move on here is you’ve

317
00:15:55,920 –> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: got to be ready for the quarterback design run game.

318
00:15:58,920 –> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: We saw it, We’re going to see it in couple

319
00:16:00,200 –> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: of weeks with Cam Newton Durs, you’re gonna sit it

320
00:16:02,120 –> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: next week with Lamar Jackson. But there’s enough RTPO game,

321
00:16:06,040 –> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: there’s enough load option, there’s all kinds of stuff with

322
00:16:08,960 –> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. Whether you got to you gotta respect that

323
00:16:11,280 –> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: element of the Charger game. Yeah, the defenses now are

324
00:16:14,480 –> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: having to evolve to understand it. The quarterback position in

325
00:16:19,000 –> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: today’s day and age, there’s a scrambling there’s a running

326
00:16:22,240 –> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: package that’s it’s a part of every offense now. It’s

327
00:16:25,960 –> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: not just a Lamar Jackson thing. It’s not just Tennessee’s quarterback.

328
00:16:31,920 –> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: There are multiple quarterbacks and even the teams that have

329
00:16:35,040 –> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: the Drew Breeses, the quarterbacks are older like Aaron Rodgers,

330
00:16:38,480 –> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: they can always sub in a secondary quarterback that’s more

331
00:16:41,320 –> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: mobile and run this quarterback load package, quarterback sweep, misdirection, bootleg,

332
00:16:46,680 –> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: all these things that it puts a lot of pressure

333
00:16:49,080 –> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: on the edge of your defense containing and having somebody

334
00:16:52,240 –> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: responsible for the quarterback because usually in defensive packages, when

335
00:16:55,680 –> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: we talk about defensive philosophies, the one person you really

336
00:16:58,760 –> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: don’t account for running the it’s usually the quarterback. You’re

337
00:17:02,360 –> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: a man for man, gap for gap, you cover all

338
00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: your gaps, but a naked boot is usually the uncovered

339
00:17:09,160 –> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: offensive threat. Well, and if I hand it off, I’m

340
00:17:12,520 –> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: playing nine on eleven football. If I run it, I’m

341
00:17:15,240 –> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: playing eleven on eleven. I got ten blocking guys, you know,

342
00:17:18,840 –> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: for eleventh guy running it. The other thing is mentioned

343
00:17:21,760 –> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: that Pat Mahomes last year didn’t run it last week

344
00:17:24,240 –> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: at all, but last year in the game in Mexico City,

345
00:17:26,600 –> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: he had to keep playing with a twenty four yard

346
00:17:28,560 –> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: run that helped turn the game around. And then he

347
00:17:30,640 –> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: ran it like nine times in the game in Kansas

348
00:17:33,760 –> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: City last year in that season in finale. All right,

349
00:17:35,880 –> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: let’s move on to the second point, this defending the kingdom,

350
00:17:38,720 –> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: dealing with being the hunted. The Chiefs have dominated this

351
00:17:42,040 –> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: division now for really four plus years, almost five years,

352
00:17:46,000 –> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: but now they’re going to play division football and try

353
00:17:47,880 –> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: to stay dominant over a foe who’s tired of losing

354
00:17:50,280 –> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: to you. The next area I wanted to explore here

355
00:17:53,800 –> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: is the second level of the Chiefs defense. This is

356
00:17:56,200 –> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: the linebackers. Are the safeties involved in the coverage. We

357
00:17:58,680 –> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: see Spags do different things. We saw him do it

358
00:18:00,760 –> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: last week, We’ll see him do some more this week.

359
00:18:03,600 –> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: The Chargers have always loved and Tyrod Taylor you just

360
00:18:06,280 –> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: alluded to it would like to attack that second level

361
00:18:08,840 –> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: of the defense, whether it’s tight end Hunter Henry, running

362
00:18:11,600 –> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: back Auston Eckler. This week Eckler was only target at

363
00:18:16,560 –> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: one time a year ago, shop only Christian McCaffrey had

364
00:18:20,560 –> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: more catches and yards in a receiving game in the

365
00:18:23,760 –> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: NFL than the Chargers Austin Eckler. So it leads me

366
00:18:26,840 –> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: to the point, you played this position covering backs and tie.

367
00:18:29,760 –> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: It ends at that second level the challenges the Chiefs

368
00:18:32,680 –> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: face this week and try to improve in that area. Well.

369
00:18:36,240 –> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: Talking about their running back game, it seems like with

370
00:18:38,760 –> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: the removal of Gordon, Eckler has kind of moved to

371
00:18:42,240 –> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: that lead back position, and that seems like in their offense,

372
00:18:45,240 –> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: that position isn’t a position, it’s highly targeted. They just

373
00:18:48,720 –> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: don’t throw the ball, and this as a screen game,

374
00:18:50,760 –> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: so they’re number one back, they always use their third

375
00:18:53,320 –> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: down back who actually gets a lot of the more targets.

376
00:18:55,880 –> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: So maybe Kelly, the young guy who showed he can

377
00:19:00,240 –> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: definitely put some yardage up last week, he’ll probably be

378
00:19:03,480 –> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: the one who’s targeted out the backfield, trying to get

379
00:19:05,400 –> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: him on arrow routes, skinny routes, out and ups, trying

380
00:19:08,760 –> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: to get one on one matchups with out linebackers. And

381
00:19:11,280 –> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: then you talked about Hunter. Hunter is a He’s a

382
00:19:15,560 –> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: formidable tight end. He’s one of the top five six

383
00:19:18,520 –> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: tight ends. When it comes to running routes, hand high pointing,

384
00:19:22,359 –> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: he’s always open. It reminds me a lot of that

385
00:19:24,359 –> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, always open. No matter what leverage you’re on,

386
00:19:27,640 –> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: the perfect pass will always find him in a good spot.

387
00:19:30,160 –> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: So he’s gonna be a challenge for us on the

388
00:19:33,320 –> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: back end with our defensive backers, our safeties and linebackers.

389
00:19:37,520 –> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: Between Hunter, Henry and both running backs, we’re gonna have

390
00:19:40,960 –> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: our hands full trying to brack it. Maybe a little

391
00:19:43,400 –> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: bit of help, but defensively, it always starts with that

392
00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: pressure up the middle. Sometimes with Chris Jones and the

393
00:19:49,359 –> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: pressure he can provide up the middle, it takes a

394
00:19:52,359 –> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: lot of that middle game out out the game plan

395
00:19:55,359 –> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: because that pressure is immediately up the middle, and that’s

396
00:19:58,160 –> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: right where the quarterback is looking. And some of those

397
00:20:01,880 –> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 1: mid level running back routes out of the backfield, they

398
00:20:05,440 –> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: end up being right over the ball. And when you

399
00:20:07,359 –> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: have a guy six six long wingspan like sack Nation

400
00:20:12,000 –> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: coming down the good of the defense, i mean good

401
00:20:13,880 –> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: to the offense right into a gaps, it becomes very

402
00:20:16,359 –> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: tough for a quarterback to stand there and deliver the ball.

403
00:20:20,880 –> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: And Tyrod it’s not the tallest guy, right, he’s he’s

404
00:20:24,160 –> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 1: Drew Brees. He’s got to find those windows in there

405
00:20:26,800 –> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: or throw off his tippy toes. Justin Jackson’s another guy.

406
00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: It’s a third running back. They got kid out of

407
00:20:31,520 –> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: Northwestern who was actually a factor in that Thursday night

408
00:20:35,000 –> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: when the Charger’s head at Arrowhead Stadium a couple of

409
00:20:37,920 –> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: years ago. Excuse me, and he kind of gives them

410
00:20:41,480 –> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: a Darwin Thompson Tye Field. Oh he’s a third dude

411
00:20:44,880 –> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: running in here. Oh he’s not bad. He could do

412
00:20:46,640 –> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: some stuff. So they got some weapons to throw at

413
00:20:50,000 –> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And in the case of Chris Jones and

414
00:20:54,280 –> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: going back and looking at that game on last Thursday

415
00:20:56,680 –> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: night against the Texans, there’s times he’s just unblockable. How

416
00:21:02,080 –> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 1: At Shawn Wharton at a Missouri S and G the

417
00:21:05,240 –> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus rating had him the highest rated defensive

418
00:21:09,080 –> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: lineman in fourteen snaps of anybody, even more than Chris Jones.

419
00:21:13,400 –> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: But stone Cold was right behind him. But that grew

420
00:21:15,840 –> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: up up front. I saw so a lot of encouraging sons. Man.

421
00:21:18,880 –> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: Our d line is one for the ages. Like we said,

422
00:21:20,880 –> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: this defense is going to definitely hang their hat starting

423
00:21:23,800 –> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: on our d line with that immediate pressure, not having

424
00:21:26,760 –> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: to bring extra guys to force the ball to come

425
00:21:29,880 –> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: out early, being able to beat one of the ones immediately.

426
00:21:32,760 –> 00:21:34,719
Speaker 1: It is something that Chris Jones he does on an

427
00:21:34,760 –> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: elite level. And you talk about Tres Shawn, he’s one

428
00:21:37,400 –> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: of the guys. My son Nicholas, he actually works at

429
00:21:39,920 –> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: their overhead all training camp. He was a dad. This

430
00:21:42,720 –> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: this guy, I don’t know where it came from, but

431
00:21:45,240 –> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: this Turre Shawn guy, he’s going to be a dominant

432
00:21:47,800 –> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: and he said a dominant for us all season long.

433
00:21:51,200 –> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: He is unblockable and on Thursday night he showed improved it.

434
00:21:56,440 –> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: He’s got a little John Randall body to him. I

435
00:21:58,640 –> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: might it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he’s got that. Okay. I

436
00:22:02,400 –> 00:22:05,000

Speaker 1: just better, it’s more fun and you go to another level.

456
00:23:03,760 –> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: I think from a standpoint of performance, man, people always

457
00:23:07,119 –> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: want to know what is the most important part of

458
00:23:09,760 –> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: any journey. Is it a journey or the destination? Is

459
00:23:13,080 –> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: it where you’re going or is it how you get there?

460
00:23:15,640 –> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: When it talks about the type of personnel, the type

461
00:23:20,160 –> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: of chemistry and camaraderie that everyone at Arrowhead has, no

462
00:23:24,960 –> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: matter if it’s a production team, sponsorship, the executive level

463
00:23:28,000 –> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: down to the players and coaches, it’s neither one. It’s

464
00:23:31,160 –> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: the it’s the camaraderie from the cords. It’s the people.

465
00:23:34,480 –> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: It’s it’s all about the relationships and everything that that

466
00:23:38,160 –> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: they’re doing at Arrowhead Drive, everything that we’re doing on UM,

467
00:23:42,359 –> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: all the podcasts and all the broadcast networks, everything is

468
00:23:46,200 –> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: about personnel. It’s about letting our entire Chiefs nation know.

469
00:23:51,240 –> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: These guys are human beings. They got feelings, they got hearts,

470
00:23:53,920 –> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: they got emotions, and we’re trying to let you know

471
00:23:56,480 –> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: how how these things are going to affect they’re playing

472
00:23:59,840 –> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: on the field and bring you another championship without losing

473
00:24:03,400 –> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 1: the fact that they are still human beings. And Anna

474
00:24:06,040 –> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: does a great job of setting up a storyboard, an analysis,

475
00:24:11,359 –> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: all the things necessary to bring an authentic, a live,

476
00:24:16,040 –> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: authentic feel to all of the different shows, whether it’s

477
00:24:19,480 –> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: our broadcast, our podcast, the game day stuff, UM, the

478
00:24:23,240 –> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: post game show. In so many ways, she got her

479
00:24:26,800 –> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: thumb right right there on the on the on the

480
00:24:29,520 –> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: temperature right there. She knows exactly what temperature, when to

481
00:24:32,280 –> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: turn it up, when to cool it down. So if

482
00:24:35,240 –> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 1: I had a had a tippe, it so a bow

483
00:24:37,440 –> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: down to miss Anna. Miss Anna Talk has done the

484
00:24:39,640 –> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: great job with everything she has her hands in and

485
00:24:43,560 –> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: made some history. I’m telling you. There she is. Give

486
00:24:46,480 –> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: her a bow, right there, take a bow girl. All right? Uh, fantastic,

487
00:24:51,040 –> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: Good lord Kansas razorback. But you’re talking about protrons and neutrons.

488
00:24:55,040 –> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: Really the nucleus to that atom is Andrew Walter Reid

489
00:24:58,880 –> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: because he’s sets the tone I think for the whole

490
00:25:01,560 –> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: organization from the football side and what you just mentioned. Okay,

491
00:25:06,720 –> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: that leads me into this third and final part of

492
00:25:09,000 –> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: this Defending the Kingdom episode entitled The Hunted. And I

493
00:25:13,080 –> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: might get a little primal here, all right, I like it.

494
00:25:16,200 –> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: Here’s where I’m going primal the Hunted if it stays.

495
00:25:21,760 –> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: And let’s go back to the very first paragraph. You

496
00:25:23,640 –> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: talk about Andy Reid keeping things fresh, keeping things creative,

497
00:25:27,560 –> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: doing new things, Brett Beach bringing in new players, taking

498
00:25:30,320 –> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: new approaches, spags, doing new things of Tershaun Wharton and

499
00:25:33,400 –> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: a Missouri sint What where’s that school with the highest

500
00:25:37,520 –> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: pro football focus grade on the defense? Wait a minute,

501
00:25:40,359 –> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: what’s going on? And then Clyde Edwards Hilaire is something new.

502
00:25:43,760 –> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: Here’s my primal point. The hunted. The best of those

503
00:25:48,440 –> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: that are hunted can do a quick flank maneuver and

504
00:25:51,480 –> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: if in an instant they now become the hunter again.

505
00:25:55,440 –> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: It does not take long. And for me, the Kansas

506
00:25:58,760 –> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, yes, they’re gonna be hunted. Not everybody’s liking that,

507
00:26:03,760 –> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: all this stuff that’s going on here for eight years,

508
00:26:06,880 –> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: specifically the last four in this division and for sure

509
00:26:10,160 –> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: the last one in the National Football League, but the

510
00:26:14,280 –> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: greatest teams in this league, even though they’re hunted. We

511
00:26:17,320 –> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: gotta give the Patriots some love here, the Steelers of

512
00:26:20,880 –> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: Chuck Noll. Within an instant, they become the hunter again. Yeah,

513
00:26:26,000 –> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: we saw that play itself out on the field. When

514
00:26:28,680 –> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 1: it’s less than two minutes left. The other team is

515
00:26:30,960 –> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: driving the field thinking they’re gonna score right before halving.

516
00:26:33,800 –> 00:26:35,719
Speaker 1: Before we know it, our defense makes a stop, they

517
00:26:35,840 –> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: miss a field goal. Now we are on the proud.

518
00:26:38,160 –> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Now we are on the attack. Pat Mahomes gets it,

519
00:26:40,520 –> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: goes down, we get a field goal, and come out

520
00:26:42,800 –> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: the second half score another. That’s a ten thirteen maybe

521
00:26:46,000 –> 00:26:50,120
Speaker 1: seventeen point turnaround. Game is over so quickly you think

522
00:26:50,160 –> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: you have the Chiefs on the rope. You think you’re

523
00:26:52,040 –> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: gonna go in a halftime, you think you’re gonna score,

524
00:26:54,280 –> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 1: and before you know it, you make one mistake, one mistake,

525
00:26:57,600 –> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: and Pat Mahomes makes you pay for it, turns it

526
00:26:59,600 –> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: around and before you know it, the momentum’s going. Offense

527
00:27:02,440 –> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: rolling and Katie Bardgates you can’t stop him. Um, and

528
00:27:05,800 –> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: he does a great job. But that you you you

529
00:27:08,040 –> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: talk about in the in the in the heat of

530
00:27:09,680 –> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: the battle, it reminds me of like top Gun. You

531
00:27:12,640 –> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: have those uh, those fighter jets going around and they’re

532
00:27:15,680 –> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: looking around and looking around. Before you know it, they

533
00:27:18,040 –> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: pull a maneuver. Now now that the hunter has become

534
00:27:20,800 –> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: the hunted, and that’s exactly what Pat Mahomes the offense do.

535
00:27:24,160 –> 00:27:27,959
Speaker 1: Before you know it, you’re outflanked. We’re going all vertical. Um,

536
00:27:28,040 –> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: you think we’re gonna check down to Kelsey, Cheetah’s going

537
00:27:31,400 –> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: down the sideline for six Next time Sammy Watkins Shakes

538
00:27:35,080 –> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: breaks a one on one going across the field, Kelsey

539
00:27:37,840 –> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: on that out and up Clyde Layer does a dead

540
00:27:40,160 –> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: foot move on your safety, breaks it for twenty seven

541
00:27:42,600 –> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: yards touchdown. So many weapons. And I haven’t even talked

542
00:27:45,720 –> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: about the return game. The Mcole Hartman, somebody. We haven’t

543
00:27:48,920 –> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: even got onto that. The d rob with this Michael

544
00:27:52,119 –> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: Jordan catching the end zone um Byan Pringle, one of

545
00:27:55,560 –> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: the toughest, hard notice, hard, hard nosed receivers we have

546
00:27:59,000 –> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 1: on this roster. Um. It’s just it’s so many weapons

547
00:28:02,800 –> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: to worry about on the offensive side of the ball.

548
00:28:05,720 –> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: Before you know it, Frank Clark is hunting you. Chris

549
00:28:09,040 –> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: Jones is hunting you. One thrown hills picking you off,

550
00:28:12,119 –> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: honey Badger, He’s in your head. Everything. It’s just it’s

551
00:28:16,080 –> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: just unfolds. The hit man knocks you out, the linebackers

552
00:28:20,000 –> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: coming down hill, hawkeye man. It’s just it’s it’s it’s

553
00:28:24,080 –> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: just a constant amount of pressure on your team to

554
00:28:27,119 –> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: to to to bar the doors, to barricade yourself in.

555
00:28:31,440 –> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are coming, that they’re coming. We got to

556
00:28:33,440 –> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: barricade ourselves in. So I think, you know, even even

557
00:28:36,280 –> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: though we got that number one ranking on all these

558
00:28:38,840 –> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: different things, it seems like in Chiefs Kingdom, we are

559
00:28:42,480 –> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: still looking for different ways to hunt down new We

560
00:28:46,080 –> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: we want we want six touchdowns in the quarter. We

561
00:28:48,440 –> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: we we want we want less than a hundred yards

562
00:28:50,440 –> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: of rushing. We’re challenging ourselves on every level. Our field

563
00:28:54,320 –> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: goal kicker is trying for a sixty five yarder. He

564
00:28:56,760 –> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: wants the opportunity. He’s praying to the offense gets stole

565
00:29:00,600 –> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: somewhere around the fifty so that he can pull out

566
00:29:03,080 –> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: that big leg and let it, let it go from

567
00:29:04,840 –> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: sixty five sixty six yards. Everybody in the organizations is

568
00:29:08,640 –> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: constantly challenging and and keeping themselves on h is on

569
00:29:13,440 –> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: that that that that crisp that that that razor edge

570
00:29:17,040 –> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: of being just prepared and ready to strike. I love it.

571
00:29:21,920 –> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: I love the old school top gun reference. Hit the break, Yeah,

572
00:29:27,560 –> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: you’re you’re gone, and that’s where the hunter the hunt,

573
00:29:31,120 –> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: that becomes the hunter within a second. But we saw

574
00:29:34,000 –> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: it last year in this game in Week seventeen. Everybody thinks, well,

575
00:29:37,280 –> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, victory, the Chiefs get the win,

576
00:29:39,440 –> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: they’re gonna get the vibe based on what happened. Hey,

577
00:29:41,400 –> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: fitz Magic did the deal against New England. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

578
00:29:45,240 –> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: It took a one hundred and four yard kickoff return

579
00:29:48,240 –> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: by McCole Hardman that flipped that game and the Chargers.

580
00:29:52,200 –> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: I told it we started this podcast. They’re sick of this,

581
00:29:54,800 –> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 1: and they’re sick of it. We’ve been on the other

582
00:29:56,280 –> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: side of this. You get sick of losing the dudes

583
00:29:58,240 –> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: and you’re chasing, you know, the big kid on the hill.

584
00:30:02,080 –> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: They thought they had control of that game and that

585
00:30:04,960 –> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 1: they could mess the Chiefs up. Dingo, you just alluded

586
00:30:08,800 –> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: to it. But one hundred four yard kept off return

587
00:30:10,640 –> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: another game completely flipped. The game in Mexico City was

588
00:30:13,320 –> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: like that. So in an instant if you continue the

589
00:30:17,120 –> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: constant pressure in all three phases, you can do that

590
00:30:20,560 –> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: second flank maneuver and get the old fly by and

591
00:30:24,320 –> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you got them on radar live. Well,

592
00:30:27,000 –> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: I know from being on the defensive side of the ball.

593
00:30:28,760 –> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: When you talk about winning eleven out of twelve games,

594
00:30:31,280 –> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: it puts you in a mindset that you don’t like

595
00:30:33,280 –> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: to be in. You’re waiting for something wrong to happen.

596
00:30:35,480 –> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: You’re waiting for that. You’re waiting for the Chiefs to

597
00:30:38,920 –> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: here we go, Here we go, no matter what, no

598
00:30:40,880 –> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: matter what the score of the game is, no matter

599
00:30:42,440 –> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: how late it is, you know that all they need

600
00:30:45,200 –> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: is a spark. And once they get that spark, the offense.

601
00:30:48,480 –> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: Because they can score so many points in such a

602
00:30:50,480 –> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: short period of time, you’re never in a level of comfort,

603
00:30:53,600 –> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: you never feel relaxed, and it puts so much pressure

604
00:30:57,040 –> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: every tackle, every call. Sometimes you’re nervous about blitzing because

605
00:31:02,720 –> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 1: you don’t want to give a cheetah an eighty yard

606
00:31:06,040 –> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: bomb on a third and five. You rather give up

607
00:31:08,400 –> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: the first dawn to give up the touchdown. That those

608
00:31:11,640 –> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: type of fears is going to be in the minds

609
00:31:15,280 –> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: of the defensive coordinators for the charges the entire game long.

610
00:31:18,480 –> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: And then on offense, you think to yourself, if I

611
00:31:20,520 –> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: can just keep the ball out of Pat’s hands, if
