Speaker 1: to be on him with you, Mitch. You know, a

14
00:00:41,960 –> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 1: few weeks ago, I thought I couldn’t find Man for

15
00:00:44,200 –> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: a while, and I started to get anxiety. I started

16
00:00:46,120 –> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: to stress out. But bows, they hooked me up with

17
00:00:48,760 –> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: a Mayshot got him. And now it’s like piecing tranquility.

18
00:00:52,120 –> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Every time I get on this podcast with you, it’s

19
00:00:54,640 –> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: like I isolate. I eliminate all the distractions, seven levels

20
00:00:59,520 –> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: of noise cancelation, and I just go up to level

21
00:01:02,120 –> 00:01:05,839
Speaker 1: eleven and everything is peace and quiet. About eleven levels

22
00:01:05,880 –> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: of noise cancelation. I couldn’t find mine, you know. My

23
00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: wife had him, said, huh, went to counseling. She gave

24
00:01:11,760 –> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: him back. We’re good. We’re in great shape. Man. All right,

25
00:01:14,520 –> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: just kidding about all that. But with the holidays coming,

26
00:01:16,640 –> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: everybody’s wanting to what am I gonna do? What I’m

27
00:01:18,160 –> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: gonna do? These bows seven hundred headphones are phenomenal. Well,

28
00:01:22,760 –> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: we’re going to get into this edition, this episode of

29
00:01:26,280 –> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom. It’s going to be entitled three Divisions.

30
00:01:29,959 –> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Now that Chie’s getting ready to play, the Jets are

31
00:01:31,800 –> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: gonna come on, man, they’re the only team in the

32
00:01:33,520 –> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: league hadn’t won a game. You look at them. They

33
00:01:35,560 –> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: are a rock bottom in most of the offensive statistics. Defensively,

34
00:01:38,840 –> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: they’ve got some marks there. Greg Williams, Excelsior Springs, Missouri native,

35
00:01:42,840 –> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: is the defensive coordinator. Kind of an Andre dude. He

36
00:01:45,800 –> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: likes to bring some pressure. But that being said, we’re

37
00:01:48,960 –> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: going to talk about the Jet game is essential, like

38
00:01:53,560 –> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: all of these games are. But we’re going to go

39
00:01:55,120 –> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: through the three divisions the Chiefs are now playing in,

40
00:01:57,840 –> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: in our opinion, three separate divisions. First of all is

41
00:02:00,920 –> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: the obvious. Let’s just jump in here. We’re at the

42
00:02:02,600 –> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: midway mark shop of the regular season and the AFC West.

43
00:02:07,480 –> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: There’s some interesting dynamics with all three of these teams

44
00:02:10,160 –> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: in our division. Let’s start with the Raiders. What you’ve seen,

45
00:02:13,720 –> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: what you haven’t seen? And then why all these three

46
00:02:17,400 –> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: teams have something in common? But the Chiefs have to

47
00:02:19,440 –> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: check the first box. Go back to defending the Kingdom

48
00:02:21,960 –> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, when the division check the box. New

49
00:02:24,400 –> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: England’s done it, what seventeen to twenty years? The Chiefs

50
00:02:27,480 –> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: trying to do it for a fifth straight year. Raiders?

51
00:02:29,919 –> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: What do you see? What don’t you see? What? The

52
00:02:31,880 –> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: Raiders is gonna be a opponent that’s gonna be in

53
00:02:33,840 –> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: the way almost the entire season. Know, the thing I

54
00:02:37,480 –> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: do like about the Raiders is their balance, right Josh Jacobs.

55
00:02:41,240 –> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: And then they have car being able to go to rugs,

56
00:02:43,480 –> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: go out the waller so they keep it. You know,

57
00:02:46,000 –> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: they have a lot of ability to keep a balance

58
00:02:50,600 –> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: on offense so they don’t get too run heavy, they

59
00:02:52,600 –> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: don’t get too pass heavy. And then defensively they’re young

60
00:02:56,160 –> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: and exciting enough to keep Gunther in his defense. It’s

61
00:03:00,200 –> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: coming from all directions. They have some big play type

62
00:03:03,240 –> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: players in the back with the safety Abrams and the

63
00:03:06,840 –> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 1: corner our net and so they have jay have just

64
00:03:08,880 –> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: enough pieces to make themselves dangerous, but also a lot

65
00:03:12,320 –> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: of times they go into games a little bit overconfident.

66
00:03:15,600 –> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: They go into games thinking, David Carr starts to thank

67
00:03:18,639 –> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: he’s David Carr of I mean Derek Carr, So thank

68
00:03:21,680 –> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: he’s David Carr of two thousand and sixteen. You know

69
00:03:24,639 –> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: where he was going down the stretch, almost about to

70
00:03:27,080 –> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: be in the category and the discussion for NFL MVP

71
00:03:31,560 –> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: until that injury, and since that injury just hasn’t been

72
00:03:34,160 –> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: the same. And when they always come down to the Raiders,

73
00:03:36,680 –> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: it’s turnovers, turnovers and penalties. The games they’ve been able

74
00:03:40,320 –> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: to win and stay in it, they limit the turnovers,

75
00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: they limit the penalties, and the games they haven’t had

76
00:03:45,280 –> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: a chance in the fourth quarter. It’s always been self

77
00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: inflicted wounds, and so the Raiders are their own worst enemy.

78
00:03:51,880 –> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: But that’s always have been the Raiders things. So they’re

79
00:03:54,320 –> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: just kind of slowly falling back into the Raiders of old.

80
00:03:58,600 –> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: My thought is Abrams tional player. He was all over

81
00:04:01,200 –> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: the field against the Chiefs. Who was a big piece

82
00:04:03,000 –> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: of that game. So was Cleveland Furrow. We can talk

83
00:04:04,880 –> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: about their new linebackers that can run, but to me,

84
00:04:07,920 –> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Abram did not play last week, big difference in that

85
00:04:10,880 –> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: game and they lose to Tampa Bay. That’s our third divisions,

86
00:04:14,280 –> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: the COVID Division. We’ll get to that because that’s where

87
00:04:16,200 –> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders are in there and not doing so hot

88
00:04:19,120 –> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: against it. Here’s what’s interesting though about the Chiefs schedule.

89
00:04:21,839 –> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: All right, the Raiders have no more buys. Okay, COVID induced,

90
00:04:25,560 –> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: no more buys. They they’re five of the last eight games.

91
00:04:28,839 –> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: They played the Browns this week. That leaves them eight

92
00:04:30,720 –> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: games no buys. Five of the eight against the division.

93
00:04:33,960 –> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: The Chiefs only have three more games against the division,

94
00:04:36,720 –> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: all three teams. That’s it. They’re the only team in

95
00:04:39,839 –> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: the division that’s played three division games. The other thing

96
00:04:42,960 –> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: that’s interesting shop about the Kansas City chief schedule this year,

97
00:04:46,520 –> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: and it relates to this discussion, are defending the Kingdom

98
00:04:49,760 –> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: three divisions are playing in the first time since two

99
00:04:53,000 –> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: thousand and two. You were still a Philadelphia Eagle in

100
00:04:55,440 –> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and two. It is the first time in

101
00:04:58,000 –> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 1: eighteen years, nineteen seasons that the Chiefs have not played

102
00:05:01,880 –> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: an NFC team in a cross pollination in the first

103
00:05:06,240 –> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: half of the year. No NFC teams, Yet everybody in

104
00:05:09,800 –> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: this division’s dabbled around and against the NFC South. That’s

105
00:05:12,720 –> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: our cross pollination, FC West NFC South. All four of

106
00:05:16,839 –> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: those games for the Chiefs are in the last eight

107
00:05:19,120 –> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: games of the year. All of these other teams have

108
00:05:22,240 –> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: played it that way. Now we know the NFC South’s

109
00:05:24,720 –> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: a little stout. We know the Buccaneers are coming on

110
00:05:27,000 –> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: big time. The Panthers have been you know, they’ve been

111
00:05:29,800 –> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: a surprise when you look at them. You know the

112
00:05:32,440 –> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: Falcons can be dangerous. And the Saints, we know what

113
00:05:35,080 –> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: they got. But it’s interesting that the Chiefs have had

114
00:05:37,160 –> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: no NFC games while everybody else in this division has. Well.

115
00:05:40,480 –> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: We talked about the way schedules fall out and how

116
00:05:42,720 –> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: do you how do you wish your schedule to affect

117
00:05:45,480 –> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: your season. I’ve always been in the mind frame of

118
00:05:48,400 –> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: I want the toughest competition late in the season. I

119
00:05:51,880 –> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: want to I want to take the first half of

120
00:05:53,160 –> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: the season to make sure we’re doing what we can

121
00:05:54,960 –> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: do right. No our alignment, our assignment, our a buildings.

122
00:05:58,080 –> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: Let’s check all those boxes, make sure every about it

123
00:06:00,360 –> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: is ready to go and understand what they’re supposed to doing.

124
00:06:03,120 –> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: And then after week eight, I want to start playing

125
00:06:04,920 –> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: the toughest teams. I want to be, you know, I

126
00:06:07,040 –> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: want to kind of be battle ready, come playoff ball.

127
00:06:09,600 –> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: And so if we can hold off on that loaded

128
00:06:12,640 –> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: NFC South to play, like you said, the Panthers and

129
00:06:15,160 –> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: the Falcons and then the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Saints,

130
00:06:18,320 –> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: those last two games, those Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Saints,

131
00:06:21,080 –> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: we have an opportunity to play those. Those are the

132
00:06:23,560 –> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: teams we’re gonna face in the playoffs. That caliber team,

133
00:06:27,160 –> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: the best of the best, and you want to play

134
00:06:29,440 –> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: that team while you’re playing your best because it gives

135
00:06:32,400 –> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: you a more truest sense of where your team lies

136
00:06:35,560 –> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs. If you play a knockout team

137
00:06:39,000 –> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: one of these top three four ranked teams early in

138
00:06:41,200 –> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: the season, before you get yourself together, it’s nothing to

139
00:06:45,000 –> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: be taken from that long term. It’s just a law.

140
00:06:47,920 –> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: So it’s just to win. You caught them sleeping, they

141
00:06:50,400 –> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: caught you sleeping. But everybody knows once you get to

142
00:06:52,880 –> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: about week ten, everybody is who they who you think

143
00:06:56,160 –> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: they are. They’re playing their best ball and that’s when

144
00:06:58,760 –> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: that playoff mentality, that swagger starts to build and you

145
00:07:02,160 –> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: need to start running games together, get that momentum going,

146
00:07:05,600 –> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: because everybody knows in the playoffs it’s a run to

147
00:07:08,720 –> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the championship. You can’t cut it on, cut it off.

148
00:07:12,120 –> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: Those teams that are playing the consistent type of playoff

149
00:07:15,120 –> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: ball are the ones that ends up in Tampa Bay

150
00:07:17,800 –> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: once it is all over and staid with. Again, we’re

151
00:07:20,720 –> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: nearing the halfway mark of the regular season. That’s defending

152
00:07:23,080 –> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: the Kingdom podcast dealing with the Chiefs. Three divisions they

153
00:07:26,680 –> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: now playing. The first one is the obvious, the AFC

154
00:07:29,360 –> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: West second team. Here are the Chargers again, no more buys.

155
00:07:33,200 –> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: They’re just on man. They’re grinding away for their last

156
00:07:36,640 –> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: day or against division opponents. They play at Denver this week.

157
00:07:40,240 –> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: So you got an AFC West against AFC West. What

158
00:07:43,120 –> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: do you see from the Chargers? What don’t you see? Well,

159
00:07:45,520 –> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: I think everybody sees the same thing from the Chargers.

160
00:07:47,600 –> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: They have a young, talented quarterback and even though it

161
00:07:51,000 –> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: hasn’t shown up in the win loss column, Maddam Button

162
00:07:53,760 –> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: not a lot of wins. He’s tucking his els, he’s

163
00:07:56,800 –> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: tucking his losses. But you see this young man learning.

164
00:08:00,040 –> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: He learns every game, he learns a different way to

165
00:08:02,560 –> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: get it done. He’s a tough throwback type quarterback. He

166
00:08:06,840 –> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: runs heavy with his body, he doesn’t mind takeing a

167
00:08:10,040 –> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: little bit of a bruising and then when the when

168
00:08:13,040 –> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: the play breaks down, he’s able to make plays with

169
00:08:15,120 –> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: his legs scoring touchdowns that I saw last weekend. Took

170
00:08:18,840 –> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: a couple of hits and still got it in for

171
00:08:20,320 –> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown a few times, and has been using some

172
00:08:23,600 –> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: new weapons. It’s not just the normal U Williams show,

173
00:08:28,880 –> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: or it’s not just the normal you know number thirteen,

174
00:08:31,520 –> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: the wide receiver, they’re all pro wide receiver? Did they

175
00:08:34,600 –> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: go to all the time? Guiton has shown up, Joe

176
00:08:37,840 –> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: Reid has shown up. These young receivers that we haven’t

177
00:08:40,080 –> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: heard of before, has starting to make plays for him.

178
00:08:43,080 –> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: And now you know, justin Herbert, he’s starting to realize

179
00:08:45,679 –> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: this is an offense I can start to manipulate go

180
00:08:48,880 –> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: down the field with and all I gotta do is

181
00:08:50,760 –> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: start to protect the ball a little bit better, and

182
00:08:53,120 –> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: he might be something to be wreckoned with. In years

183
00:08:55,440 –> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: to come. Yeah, we still know other capable on defense.

184
00:08:58,480 –> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: But Herbert’s giving them hope. This has been a franchise

185
00:09:01,240 –> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: to me without hope. They played in the soccer stadium

186
00:09:03,960 –> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: for years. How they get this new stadium they’re sharing

187
00:09:06,080 –> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: with the Rams, but Herbert gives them hope. Can throw

188
00:09:08,960 –> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: the deep ball. So here they are though, no more buys.

189
00:09:12,480 –> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: They’re down two and four, so they but they got

190
00:09:14,400 –> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: four the last date against the division. The next team

191
00:09:16,800 –> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: in the division, the Broncos, no more buys. They also

192
00:09:20,880 –> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: have a COVID affected by a week. They got four

193
00:09:23,840 –> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: the last date against the division. So again, this episode

194
00:09:27,440 –> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: is the three divisions the Chiefs are playing in. We’re

195
00:09:29,440 –> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: in the obvious one right here. What are you seeing

196
00:09:31,960 –> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: and not seeing from the Broncos? Well, the Broncos is

197
00:09:35,720 –> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: they’re probably one of the most disappointing teams of the

198
00:09:38,280 –> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: AFC West. Drew Locke is definitely one of the young,

199
00:09:42,559 –> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: upcoming talented quarterbacks in the NFL. He has a lightning

200
00:09:47,320 –> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: quick arm. He makes great decisions, but sometimes being overconfident

201
00:09:53,640 –> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: in your arm allows him to make some big mistakes

202
00:09:57,400 –> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: and he puts the ball on the ground too much.

203
00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: He’s thrown into double coverage, throwing up fifty fifty balls,

204
00:10:02,920 –> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: and so sometimes because he is so talented and has

205
00:10:05,800 –> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: so much faith in his arm, he turns the ball

206
00:10:09,240 –> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: over at the worst time in the ball games we

207
00:10:12,280 –> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: saw two weeks ago, two turnovers, two interceptions when it

208
00:10:16,040 –> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: was up by two scores against the Patriots, and then

209
00:10:18,400 –> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: in our game when when needed to right the ship,

210
00:10:21,360 –> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: right after an interception, right after a touchdown being kick

211
00:10:24,800 –> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: off being returned. That’s when you expect your offense to

212
00:10:27,480 –> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: come out, get some first downs, settle the team down,

213
00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: and he just wasn’t able to do that. He’s a

214
00:10:34,280 –> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: turnover monster, so he has to at some point realize

215
00:10:37,320 –> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: that team is going to be built on a ground

216
00:10:39,200 –> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: and pay on game, and all he needs to do

217
00:10:41,360 –> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: is make the first down throws. He doesn’t have to

218
00:10:43,679 –> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: try to throw the home run hit every time he’s

219
00:10:46,080 –> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: up to back. Sometimes you need to lay down a

220
00:10:48,080 –> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: couple of bunths, hit a couple of singles, get the

221
00:10:50,400 –> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: momentum going the right way, and then make sure that

222
00:10:52,920 –> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: your team is within striking distance come the fourth quarter. Unfortunately,

223
00:10:56,480 –> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: for that young man, he hasn’t found the capability or

224
00:10:59,160 –> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: to understanding how to do that in a consistent rate

225
00:11:02,200 –> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 1: in his NFL career. Yeah, his default is always to

226
00:11:05,720 –> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: chuck a deep. Seems like every quarterback has a default.

227
00:11:08,600 –> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: I don’t care if you’re talking about Richmond. I don’t

228
00:11:10,679 –> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: care if you talking about any high school. They have

229
00:11:13,840 –> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: a default. Where do they go when they’re surrounded by

230
00:11:16,080 –> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: lions and about ready thrown into the pit? His is

231
00:11:18,679 –> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: to go deep? To me, the Broncos just have shown

232
00:11:21,760 –> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: they’re capable and a good defense if you’re third in

233
00:11:24,280 –> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: red zone defense. They win a game at New England

234
00:11:26,080 –> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: because New England didn’t cross the goal line. That’s why

235
00:11:28,160 –> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: they won that game. And you can want it on

236
00:11:30,200 –> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: six field goals. If you’re that good in the red zone,

237
00:11:33,400 –> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: you got a shot, but your margin is so slight

238
00:11:36,440 –> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: with that team and you nailed it. You just one

239
00:11:38,240 –> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: turnover just flips that game away from the Broncos. All right,

240
00:11:41,600 –> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: That’s where it’s obvious, and we know that it’s unique.

241
00:11:44,240 –> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: First time in eighteen years, nineteen seasons, the Chiefs have

242
00:11:48,160 –> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: not played an NFC crossover game in the first half

243
00:11:51,480 –> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: of the year, four of those three division opponents and

244
00:11:53,800 –> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in the second half. Here comes the less

245
00:11:57,280 –> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: obvious one. But still kind of obvious. And that’s the

246
00:12:01,559 –> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: battle for the Bye Division. That’s what I’m calling it,

247
00:12:03,920 –> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: the Bob Division, battle for the buy one AFC by

248
00:12:08,640 –> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: We know now you just mentioned a couple of paragraphs ago.

249
00:12:11,679 –> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: We have definition. Seven weeks into the season, headed for

250
00:12:14,720 –> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: an eighth, we know this. The Steelers are back. Steelers

251
00:12:18,040 –> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: are for real. Big Ben’s chucking it. Good defense, nasty defense.

252
00:12:21,400 –> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: They got playmakers, young playmakers. Six and zero, no more

253
00:12:25,679 –> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: buys for the Steelers. They’ve used up there by COVID induced.

254
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: They have the most favorable schedule left. They play the

255
00:12:32,800 –> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: Ravens twice tough at Brown’s. Who knows, they’re five and

256
00:12:36,440 –> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: two at Buffalo. They have the Colts at home. They

257
00:12:40,400 –> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: cross pollinate against the NFC East, your old division. That

258
00:12:45,480 –> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: my prediction will be the Eagles will win that at

259
00:12:47,920 –> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: six nine and one Steelers of the four teams in

260
00:12:52,360 –> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: my opinion, in the battle for the buye Division, these

261
00:12:55,040 –> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: guys look like they’re back. Yeah, the Steelers are a

262
00:12:58,760 –> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: team that we’re worckon with. And like you mentioned, it’s

263
00:13:01,080 –> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: probably more of it. It’s the four team race going

264
00:13:03,520 –> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: for that buy It’s the Stealers, the Titans, it’s the

265
00:13:06,559 –> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 1: Ravens in the Chiefs. One of those four teams when

266
00:13:09,120 –> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: it’s all said and done, are gonna be at home

267
00:13:11,679 –> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: resting up while the other, uh, the other teams of

268
00:13:15,040 –> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: the FC ballot out for wild card weekend. And so

269
00:13:18,120 –> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: as things are going now, you just gotta, you know,

270
00:13:20,480 –> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 1: you gotta, you gotta allow some things to play itself out.

271
00:13:23,160 –> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 1: Like you said, the Pittsburgh Steelers got two games against

272
00:13:26,080 –> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens, so you know, if they can, if they

273
00:13:28,320 –> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: can pull off those two games, they’re gonna be sitting

274
00:13:30,600 –> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: um in the in the birds seat looking at everybody else.

275
00:13:33,480 –> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: But I always think there’s a there’s there’s a few

276
00:13:36,160 –> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: hiccups in every team schedule. And what we know what

277
00:13:38,720 –> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh steel is, if there’s one thing that they

278
00:13:40,840 –> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: can do. They can start feeling a little extra swag goo,

279
00:13:43,920 –> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: they can start feeling a little bit feeling themselves thinking

280
00:13:46,679 –> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: they’re better than they are, and they can be bit

281
00:13:48,880 –> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: by the Cleveland Browns. They can be bit by like

282
00:13:52,160 –> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: you said, at the Buffalo Bills. And don’t forget that

283
00:13:55,800 –> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: NFC East, It’s sorry, and I say sorry as they

284
00:13:59,600 –> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: are as as a division, there’s always the hope that

285
00:14:03,480 –> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: a Giants team or Eagles team catches fire, kind of

286
00:14:07,640 –> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins did last year against the New England Patriots.

287
00:14:11,120 –> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: A team that shouldn’t be on the page with you

288
00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: catches fire for that one week. And I think one

289
00:14:15,880 –> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: of those losing teams is going to bite the Pittsburgh

290
00:14:18,960 –> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: Steelers in the button. Okay, I’ll let you go with

291
00:14:22,680 –> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: that one man. Here’s you mentioned the four teams in

292
00:14:25,600 –> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: this battle for the by division. The second team of division,

293
00:14:28,480 –> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, are in, and the second one be the Ravens.

294
00:14:31,200 –> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: All right, no more buys they’re done with byes. The

295
00:14:33,600 –> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs the only team of all this group, either in

296
00:14:35,840 –> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: their real division or this battle for the by division

297
00:14:38,120 –> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: that has a buy left. And so the Ravens have

298
00:14:40,960 –> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: no more buys stealers twice, so that flip flops. They’re

299
00:14:43,760 –> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: at the Colts, They’re at New England, Tennessee, and at Cleveland,

300
00:14:47,160 –> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: so the Ravens got a little tougher schedule. They crossed

301
00:14:49,680 –> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: pollinate against your NFC each that you’re predicting, somebody’s got

302
00:14:54,040 –> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: a little bark and bite left in there. I’ll believe

303
00:14:56,320 –> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: it when I sit it, love you, but I’ll believe

304
00:14:58,200 –> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: it when I sit the Ravens. Last year they were

305
00:15:01,840 –> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: the cats pajamas at fourteen and two at the one

306
00:15:04,040 –> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: shade they get knocked off. But here they are again

307
00:15:06,840 –> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: with only the one loss to the Chiefs. Yeah, the

308
00:15:10,280 –> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: last year was the big trust. It was the coming

309
00:15:12,680 –> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: out party, mark Ingram, this explosive quarterback option, quarterback keeper,

310
00:15:18,600 –> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: all these different things. And now you’ve seen that kind

311
00:15:21,160 –> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: of come back to the meaning. Right. The defensive coordinators

312
00:15:24,040 –> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: have had a year to look at the Baltimore Ravens offense,

313
00:15:27,560 –> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: how they attack people, understanding how Lamar wants to attack

314
00:15:31,880 –> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: with the passing game. And I don’t know, I haven’t

315
00:15:34,640 –> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: heard about the Ravens in that forty point fifty point

316
00:15:37,800 –> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: explosive offense anymore. They’re beating teams with defense. They’re using

317
00:15:41,320 –> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: their defense to beat teams. And Lamar isn’t making those

318
00:15:44,120 –> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: type of mistakes he made last year. He’s keeping the

319
00:15:46,360 –> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: possession that justin. Tucker’s having another great year as a kicker.

320
00:15:50,120 –> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: But I think the Baltimore Ravens is a team that

321
00:15:52,680 –> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles only lost him by twice. And as

322
00:15:56,320 –> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: we say that, the NFC East has a few teams

323
00:15:58,640 –> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: I think can play on that level that if you’re

324
00:16:01,040 –> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: not ready to u you know, close a door on them,

325
00:16:05,000 –> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: if you’re not ready to put that last nail in

326
00:16:06,760 –> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: the coffin, maybe late in the game one of those

327
00:16:09,320 –> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: Giants teams and even the Washington football team could come

328
00:16:14,120 –> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: up and bite the Ravens. You know this, They’re gonna

329
00:16:16,320 –> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: be the battle of the state line there between the

330
00:16:18,640 –> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins and the Baltimore Ravens, that Battle of b Moore,

331
00:16:22,280 –> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: you know they the teams love the battle when they’re

332
00:16:24,800 –> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: close in proximity, So there might be something to fight

333
00:16:27,640 –> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: for right there for the Washington Redskins where they become

334
00:16:30,320 –> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: a team looking at the Ravens. Hey, this is gonna

335
00:16:33,400 –> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: be our Super Bowl matchup this year. Let’s give them

336
00:16:35,680 –> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: everything we got. And the Ravens might overlook that Washington team.

337
00:16:39,840 –> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: So there’s gonna be a couple of opportunities for the

338
00:16:42,200 –> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Ravens to hic up. And obviously we got the one

339
00:16:45,840 –> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: game up on them because we beat them head to head.

340
00:16:47,920 –> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: So I don’t I think when it comes down to it,

341
00:16:50,320 –> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: it still might be that US and Steelers are gonna

342
00:16:52,520 –> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: be the team battling for that bye week. Yep, Chiefs

343
00:16:55,400 –> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: have the only game in this battle for the by

344
00:16:57,120 –> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: division against the Ravens. Don’t play the Steelers or Titans.

345
00:16:59,640 –> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: They all play each other. So the Chiefs have that

346
00:17:02,440 –> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: going for him. And if you’re a Cole Brenner Browns fan,

347
00:17:06,359 –> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: just contact Anna Toopkin. You can yell at her. If

348
00:17:09,960 –> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: they’re Husko, we’re not in the battle for the by division. Well, okay,

349
00:17:14,000 –> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: just talk to Anna all right. Now, last team, the Titans,

350
00:17:16,920 –> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: no more buys. You know they were, man, they’ve been

351
00:17:19,440 –> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: right in the middle of COVID. We’re gonna get to

352
00:17:20,800 –> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: that in a second. The twenty three positive cases there

353
00:17:24,440 –> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: for wild Colts twice. They’re at the Ravens at Green Bay.

354
00:17:28,160 –> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: The Titans crossed pollin ad against the NFC North, they’re

355
00:17:31,600 –> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: at five and one. Dangerous, we know what they are, tough, rabel, feisty,

356
00:17:36,160 –> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: but they’re in the battle for this by division. Yeah.

357
00:17:38,520 –> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: I think they have the toughest schedule left, like you said,

358
00:17:40,880 –> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: having to play the NFC North, going against the Packers

359
00:17:43,520 –> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: and the Bears and Detroit Lions. That’s that’s the In

360
00:17:47,320 –> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings, who are now gonna get Dalvin Cook

361
00:17:50,040 –> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: back healthy. I think that’s gonna be the you know

362
00:17:52,280 –> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: they might split with the NFC North. They went to

363
00:17:55,359 –> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: lose too, and then they still have to go through

364
00:17:57,880 –> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: a pretty tough AFC AFC schedule to close out the year.

365
00:18:04,080 –> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: That there was one of the last couple of teams

366
00:18:06,400 –> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: to be undefeated during the year. But I think that

367
00:18:09,200 –> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: that might kind of been a little bit of smoking mirrors.

368
00:18:12,359 –> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Rabel Is turned out to be one of the smartest, smartest,

369
00:18:15,520 –> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: craftiest coaches there are. He’s finding the way to bend

370
00:18:18,280 –> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: a couple of rules, find a couple of ways to

371
00:18:20,400 –> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: save clock by using the delayer game or using the

372
00:18:23,320 –> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: extra person on the field. So he’s finding those nuances

373
00:18:26,240 –> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: and he’s finding ways to make those nuances count in

374
00:18:29,280 –> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: the win lost column. That game. He would probably have

375
00:18:32,800 –> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: lost that game if he didn’t find a way to

376
00:18:35,000 –> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: get that twelfth gyear on the field to stop that

377
00:18:36,680 –> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: clock save his team forty seconds, which he ended up

378
00:18:40,200 –> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: tying the game with only seven seconds left. So those

379
00:18:43,880 –> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: forty seconds end up being crucial to them tying that

380
00:18:46,880 –> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: ball game against the Houston Texans, which they end up

381
00:18:49,560 –> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: winning overtime. So a crafty coach, But sometimes I think

382
00:18:54,320 –> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: you know that the little trick plays and craftiness, it

383
00:18:58,280 –> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: comes becomes a crutch for you. Players started to think

384
00:19:01,800 –> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 1: that you can pull something out of a hat, when

385
00:19:04,200 –> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 1: really they should be focused on ground and pound, founding

386
00:19:07,640 –> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: the way, get Henry going and get the ball to

387
00:19:09,440 –> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: a J. Brown and Davis as much as possible and

388
00:19:12,840 –> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: relying on that defense, rely on that defense to hold

389
00:19:15,880 –> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: people out the end zone. So sometimes I think they

390
00:19:18,200 –> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: get a little bit too tricky, a little bit too

391
00:19:20,480 –> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: crafty for their own good, and that doesn’t really stand

392
00:19:23,560 –> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: with what their mantra should be, which is just to

393
00:19:25,480 –> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: be a physical, tough just like their head coach is

394
00:19:29,560 –> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: Rabel and beat you in the trenches. That there’s intelligence

395
00:19:33,720 –> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: and craftiness. Raves as an old linebacker, the intelligence of

396
00:19:37,840 –> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: linebackers is way underrated in this league. People have found

397
00:19:41,400 –> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: that on this podcast, going man Barber Shot kind of

398
00:19:43,840 –> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: has an idea. I go sometimes, you know, he’s like

399
00:19:46,760 –> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: seven and five, all right. Now. The first two divisions

400
00:19:49,880 –> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: the obvious one, the AFCs try to win it for

401
00:19:52,119 –> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: a fifth straight time. That’s obvious, like I got it. Oh,

402
00:19:55,240 –> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: the battle for the by division, that’s pretty obvious. The

403
00:19:58,320 –> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: third one is not so obvious, and honestly, it could

404
00:20:02,040 –> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: determine who wins the other two or their other six

405
00:20:04,600 –> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: divisions seven divisions in the National Football League, and I

406
00:20:07,840 –> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: call it the COVID Prevention Division. Just today, one of

407
00:20:13,520 –> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: the prominent high schools in the Chiefs Kingdom, Kansas City,

408
00:20:16,440 –> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Rockhurst High School, great tradition down through the years, a

409
00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: COVID positive test on their team. The team will be

410
00:20:23,760 –> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: quarantined for two weeks during the playoffs. They’re done. They

411
00:20:28,000 –> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: were to play Joplin. You always know they are a

412
00:20:30,520 –> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: chance to win the Missouri’s championship in that class every year.

413
00:20:33,920 –> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: Not this year. They’re done. Why COVID. They didn’t get

414
00:20:36,960 –> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: upset by Joplin. COVID. They’re done. Wisconsin in Nebraska were

415
00:20:42,080 –> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: to play this weekend in Lincoln. No game not postponed, canceled.

416
00:20:47,480 –> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: The Big Ten started later. There’s no chance to make

417
00:20:50,280 –> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: up this game that could keep a Wisconsin out of

418
00:20:53,640 –> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the college football playoffs. Here we are in the COVID

419
00:20:57,080 –> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: Prevention Division. New England’s gone through it. Cam Newton has

420
00:21:00,200 –> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: not been the same since he tested positive. Missed the

421
00:21:03,040 –> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs game. He was ineffective against the Broncos, real ineffective,

422
00:21:06,760 –> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 1: ineffective last week in their loss. All of a sudden

423
00:21:10,600 –> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: New England’s ship is sinking or taken on a bunch

424
00:21:13,840 –> 00:21:17,239
Speaker 1: of water. Why COVID Titans has seemed to recover from

425
00:21:17,280 –> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: their deals. However, their schedules backloaded and these buys are

426
00:21:22,600 –> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: gone for these teams. The Chiefs are the only one

427
00:21:24,920 –> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: has a buy left, so to me, barbershop. The real

428
00:21:30,280 –> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: challenges for Super Bowl fifty five among these leading teams,

429
00:21:33,160 –> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: we can talk about the NFCT team, NFC TAM NFC

430
00:21:36,480 –> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: teams as well, are the teams that win the COVID

431
00:21:39,560 –> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: Prevention Division because we’re seeing teams go down and have

432
00:21:42,560 –> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: their season wrecked and not even playing man. We talk

433
00:21:46,040 –> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: about the process being graded in the product as far

434
00:21:48,560 –> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: as skill level, as far as played development, all that,

435
00:21:51,200 –> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: but now the process becomes graded in the product when

436
00:21:54,280 –> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: you talk about what is your process for handling COVID,

437
00:21:57,160 –> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: what is the protocol on your team and your mob

438
00:22:00,359 –> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: and are you constantly reminding the players how important it

439
00:22:04,840 –> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: is to stay away, stay social distance, where masks, when

440
00:22:08,359 –> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: you’re out in public and even though you are a

441
00:22:10,880 –> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: star celebrity, this is not the time to be out

442
00:22:14,400 –> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: being a celebrity. Your team availability in the exposure to

443
00:22:20,320 –> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: the limited amount of people in your in your you know,

444
00:22:23,320 –> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: I want to use the word bubble, but in your

445
00:22:25,320 –> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: team’s environment and in your teams um just just a

446
00:22:29,119 –> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: team base. It’s really all the people you need to

447
00:22:31,800 –> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: be associating yourself at this point in season, and the

448
00:22:35,240 –> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: team that handles that the best. The limited amount of exposure,

449
00:22:38,960 –> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: the limited amount of positive tests, and even we’ve seen

450
00:22:42,000 –> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 1: with the false positives so many these times sometimes you

451
00:22:44,680 –> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: get tested false positive and you have to go through

452
00:22:46,800 –> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: three days of negative just to get back in the building. UM.

453
00:22:50,400 –> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: And so with the zoom call practices canceling. I saw

454
00:22:53,600 –> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: one time that the New England Patriots I think went

455
00:22:56,200 –> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: two weeks with only two practices due to have to

456
00:23:00,520 –> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: shift around things and go through zoom and stuff like that.

457
00:23:03,800 –> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: The NFL, the way football has played at this level,

458
00:23:07,600 –> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 1: if you’re not able to strap it on, play with

459
00:23:10,280 –> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: great level UM, stay accustomed and stay acclimated to what

460
00:23:14,359 –> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: it’s like to be, you know, hitting on the rise

461
00:23:16,600 –> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: and striking on the rise, and doing everything to keep

462
00:23:19,040 –> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 1: your body focusing in that same training molde of football.

463
00:23:22,280 –> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: You lose a step, you lose timing. Those things are

464
00:23:25,720 –> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: so crucial when you’re talking about the way the season goes,

465
00:23:28,640 –> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: and like you said, there’s so many good teams that

466
00:23:31,720 –> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: don’t have a buy left, so they don’t have an

467
00:23:33,960 –> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to move a schedule around and do anything. They’ve

468
00:23:37,440 –> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: used the one gimme that the one dude over their

469
00:23:40,880 –> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: wild card, the Titans, the Denver Broncos, they use it

470
00:23:44,600 –> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: up earlier already and so now they’re done for the

471
00:23:46,720 –> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Any kind of scare could cause

472
00:23:49,440 –> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: them to do exactly what Rockcrests had to do and

473
00:23:52,040 –> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: canceling forfeit ball games as they go on in season.

474
00:23:55,080 –> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: So I mean, it is what it is. This is

475
00:23:57,520 –> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: a whole new season. Everybody’s learning on the run. But

476
00:24:00,240 –> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: you gotta take your hat and tip your hat to

477
00:24:02,520 –> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: Rick Burkeholter and coach Andy Reid with the amount of

478
00:24:05,840 –> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: precision and preparation that they allow for this team to

479
00:24:09,119 –> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: have to be overly protective, overly concerned about cross contact, crossbart,

480
00:24:15,200 –> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: all these different ways for tracing and contacting players, know

481
00:24:18,960 –> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: who’s around who at all times, but just expecting them

482
00:24:22,440 –> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: men to be men. Accept the responsibility that you have

483
00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 1: being an NFL football player in a time where COVID

484
00:24:29,119 –> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 1: is it can ruin a season. It can ruin your

485
00:24:32,760 –> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: chances and it’s something that you have control over as

486
00:24:35,480 –> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: individual players. I ask Andy read the question on the

487
00:24:39,080 –> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: Chief Kingdom Radio show on the Chiefs Radio Network on

488
00:24:41,480 –> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: Monday night, and he gave a phenomenal answer. I’m gonna

489
00:24:44,040 –> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: try to get that out on social because he talks

490
00:24:47,160 –> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: about and just a trunk hid it here. He’s, you know,

491
00:24:51,000 –> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: asking guys not to be selfish. There’s a lot of

492
00:24:53,640 –> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: players that are making sacrifices and coaches on the Chiefs

493
00:24:57,400 –> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 1: team that fans don’t even know about. They’re living in

494
00:24:59,520 –> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: hotels away from their families, a lot of them. You know,

495
00:25:02,280 –> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: you and I talked about this at the beginning of

496
00:25:03,760 –> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: the year. But they’re not they’re just limiting their exposure.

497
00:25:07,200 –> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: We’re finding out just some exposure for a while is enough,

498
00:25:12,080 –> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: you know, to erect the whole thing. And so Andy

499
00:25:14,800 –> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: had some good, good comments there. The other thing I’d

500
00:25:17,119 –> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: say is coming into the holidays for all of us, now, gosh,

501
00:25:20,560 –> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: there’s going to be you know, we want to get

502
00:25:22,080 –> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: together with family. It’s what we do. It’s tradition. And

503
00:25:25,040 –> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: I just don’t know the players are going to be

504
00:25:27,560 –> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: you know, they have a bye week coming up. They

505
00:25:29,280 –> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: have the one buy of all these teams left that

506
00:25:30,960 –> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: we’ve talked about in the battle for the by division

507
00:25:33,040 –> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: the AFC West, the Chiefs are the only one that

508
00:25:35,080 –> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: have a bye. They have a gimmy week, but I’m

509
00:25:38,160 –> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: not sure they’re gonna be able to travel during that buy.

510
00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: So freedoms here are being restricted. But guys are willing

511
00:25:44,320 –> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: to restrict those freedoms and not be selfish to keep

512
00:25:46,960 –> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: a season to win and have a shot that run

513
00:25:49,480 –> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 1: it back. That’s that’s really an underlying story here to

514
00:25:52,520 –> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. So far man, and you know,

515
00:25:55,119 –> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: I believe in defending the kingdom, and one thing I have,

516
00:25:57,560 –> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: I wear my faith on my shoulders I give. I

517
00:26:00,080 –> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: can’t wait for Thanksgiving and let the Lord and know

518
00:26:01,960 –> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: how thankful I him from everything I’ve been given in life.

519
00:26:04,480 –> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: I can’t wait for the holidays, for Christmas to come

520
00:26:06,880 –> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: so I can celebrate the birth of the residen how

521
00:26:10,960 –> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: much we love our Lord and Savior with our families right,

522
00:26:14,840 –> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: getting the families together to be back together. But we

523
00:26:17,520 –> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: are going to ask our athletes, We’re gonna ask the

524
00:26:19,840 –> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: entire NFL to forego those holidays to focus, Like you

525
00:26:24,400 –> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: say to sacrifice the normal Thanksgiving, the normal Halloween, the

526
00:26:29,480 –> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: normal Christmas time. Avoid those times of gathering with other

527
00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: people that are outside your normal you know, the people

528
00:26:38,119 –> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: you normally get through the other on a game week

529
00:26:40,240 –> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: and maybe have to push your holiday back to March.

530
00:26:42,800 –> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: So you might find these families celebrating Thanksgiving, Christmas in

531
00:26:47,600 –> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: the Halloween in March April, and may just to give

532
00:26:50,520 –> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: them chance, their team a chance, just to give their

533
00:26:53,359 –> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: team a chance of staying as healthy and COVID free

534
00:26:56,560 –> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: as possible during these holiday breaks. We’ll close it this way.

535
00:27:01,119 –> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: First of all, to remind you we got these Bows

536
00:27:02,840 –> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: seven hundred headphones on great for the holidays and your

537
00:27:05,880 –> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: gift giving. Go to Bows dot com and check these out.

538
00:27:09,080 –> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: But here’s the moral of the story. Chiefs are in

539
00:27:11,359 –> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: three separate divisions. We know they got to try to

540
00:27:13,640 –> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 1: win the AFC West, They got to try to win

541
00:27:15,400 –> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: the Battle for the Buy Division. They have to win

542
00:27:17,800 –> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: every day the COVID Prevention Division. What the moral of

543
00:27:21,760 –> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: the story is, every week matters the Jets at O

544
00:27:26,119 –> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: and seven. This game might as well be a precursor

545
00:27:29,760 –> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: to Super Bowl fifty five. To me, you have to

546
00:27:32,160 –> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: win every one of these games. And take care of

547
00:27:34,119 –> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: your business. Week after week after week. We’ve seen teams

548
00:27:38,000 –> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: get upset. Coaches talked about it all week long. Just

549
00:27:41,400 –> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: handle your business and take care of the jets. We

550
00:27:44,200 –> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: have from great leaders on both sides of the balls,

551
00:27:46,320 –> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: and actually in all three phases we have great leaders,

552
00:27:48,280 –> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: but we have great coordinators. And you got to believe

553
00:27:50,600 –> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: Dave told Eric b enemy and coach and you’re reading

554
00:27:53,680 –> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: coach bags if the one thing they’re gonna do is

555
00:27:55,840 –> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: continuously reminding this team that a NFL team is dangerous.

556
00:28:00,080 –> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: Doesn’t matter what your record is. All of them have

557
00:28:02,880 –> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: athletes that can get a line to sign and execute,

558
00:28:05,840 –> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: and you cannot be You can’t wrest in your loyals

559
00:28:08,400 –> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: on a blitz pick up, on covering the punt, on

560
00:28:12,240 –> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 1: a man assignment, blocking assignment, any play can cost one

561
00:28:17,520 –> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: of your guys the rest of their season due to injury.

562
00:28:21,160 –> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: And the one thing you want, you don’t ever want

563
00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: to take another pointed lightly, because the second you take

564
00:28:26,480 –> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: a point in lightly is when you miss a block,

565
00:28:28,720 –> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 1: you miss an assignment. You’re not folks on what you’re doing,

566
00:28:31,280 –> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: and when you miss assignment’s focus, somebody else can get hurt.

567
00:28:34,680 –> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: And those are the type of mistakes when you’re talking

568
00:28:36,520 –> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: about the cost of a win. Yeah, I think this team,

569
00:28:41,720 –> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: everybody’s gonna say that Kancity Chiefs is gonna be highly favored.

570
00:28:44,880 –> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: They’re gonna be anticipated to be the favorite going into

571
00:28:48,120 –> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: this week. But what you want to do is you

572
00:28:49,840 –> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: don’t want to lose anybody. You don’t want to lose

573
00:28:52,400 –> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: anyone just to get that one win. You want to

574
00:28:55,120 –> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 1: play sound, intelligent, smart football. And if you can take

575
00:28:58,800 –> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: advantage of this team and all three phases, you want

576
00:29:01,160 –> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: to execute in all three phases and prepare yourself for

577
00:29:04,920 –> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: the next opponent, the next week, the next assignment, as

578
00:29:08,400 –> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: you would do with any team. This only counts is

579
00:29:11,120 –> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: one win. No matter how hard we play, no matter

580
00:29:14,160 –> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: how much we beat them by, it only counts as

581
00:29:16,600 –> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: one win. And as we realize this as a team

582
00:29:19,360 –> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: is a unit, they’re going to continue to just build

583
00:29:21,640 –> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: upon that get better and better. And I think that’s

584
00:29:23,760 –> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: going to add a lot to the to the mindset

585
00:29:27,520 –> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: and the mentality of this team preparing themselves for the

586
00:29:30,600 –> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: second half of the season. Amen, Brother, He’s sean Barber,

Speaker 1: it all this year, to run it back, the chiefs

589
00:29:41,920 –> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: are gonna have to win three divisions. Mitcholzer’s voice to

00:29:46,240 –> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Thanks for joining us on this episode of

591
00:29:48,640 –> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom.
