00:01:17,400 –> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: from Man? This from last year’s Military Appreciation Week Man,

25
00:01:21,160 –> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: Salute to service as we care about our military Man,

26
00:01:24,680 –> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: were all the ways saluting our service members. Thank you

27
00:01:27,440 –> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: for keeping our country and our families safe. All you

28
00:01:30,680 –> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: sacrifice at home and abroad to keep our board as safe. Man,

29
00:01:34,600 –> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: we just can’t, as as I know you feel, just

30
00:01:37,120 –> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: as passionate I do about the military, Man, we just can’t.

31
00:01:39,440 –> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: We can’t think the guys enough for what they do

32
00:01:41,560 –> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: and all the sacrifices they do, being away from their families,

33
00:01:45,160 –> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: and just just it’s almost too much to even put

34
00:01:48,320 –> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: into one show. We can spend a whole show talking

35
00:01:50,280 –> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: about how much we appreciate the military, but we’re gonna

36
00:01:52,800 –> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: try to. We’re gonna try to go into week nine,

37
00:01:55,760 –> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: talk about the chiefs, talk about what needs to be

38
00:01:57,800 –> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: done here in the Kingdom, and also we’re gonna show

39
00:02:00,600 –> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: some salutes. We’re gonna be showing some some different badges

40
00:02:03,680 –> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: throughout throughout our podcast to show you how much we

41
00:02:07,160 –> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: appreciate the military. I know you visited Afghanistan and saw

42
00:02:10,880 –> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: the patch there. This is the fifth Engineer of Battalion

43
00:02:14,080 –> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: right there, all right, Those are the sappers and engineers.

44
00:02:17,480 –> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: Their job is very dangerous. They blow up the stuff

45
00:02:21,080 –> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: before they blow our guys up. And one of our

46
00:02:24,600 –> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: great podcast followers on Defending the Kingdom, Colonel Chris McGowan,

47
00:02:29,600 –> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: was Battalion commander of the fifth Engineer Battalion at one

48
00:02:32,160 –> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: spot and they do very dangerous business and they are

49
00:02:35,800 –> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: on the call all the time. So there’s a couple

50
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: shout outs. We’re gonna do these throughout this podcast, and

51
00:02:41,560 –> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: we’re gonna focus on something interesting. You know what I

52
00:02:43,720 –> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: love at shop is when you say something that’s really

53
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: thought provoking. And I know people not only watch and

54
00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: listen to Defending the Kingdom podcast, but they watch our

55
00:02:52,120 –> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs Rewind show after every Chiefs game on the Chiefs

56
00:02:56,200 –> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: Facebook page also on the YouTube channel. But you said

57
00:03:00,560 –> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: something a couple of weeks ago, because we were talking

58
00:03:02,440 –> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: about the Raiders game and the Raiders just loading up

59
00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: and kind of ambush from the Chiefs in that forty

60
00:03:07,520 –> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: two to thirty game, and you said, it’s the week

61
00:03:10,520 –> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: before there bye, And you got me thinking that we

62
00:03:15,639 –> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: always talk about the week after the bye. We know

63
00:03:17,960 –> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: how good Andy Reid is about that, and we’ll talk

64
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: about that in two weeks. But the week before the

65
00:03:22,840 –> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: bye conjures up some thought and when you mentioned that,

66
00:03:27,919 –> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: all right, thought, all right, this takes some checking into

67
00:03:31,800 –> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: what were you thinking when you told me about loading

68
00:03:35,000 –> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: up before the bye and white teams are dangerous? That

69
00:03:37,880 –> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: week where we talked about what can what can a

70
00:03:40,520 –> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: coach use to incentivize play effort, energy on the field

71
00:03:45,800 –> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: when you have that bad week. Every coach can use

72
00:03:48,160 –> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: that bad week how he wants. You can practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

73
00:03:51,600 –> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Didn’t give him Thursday Friday off? Or you give him

74
00:03:53,880 –> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: the whole week off and tell him, hey, we’ll see

75
00:03:55,320 –> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: you the next week. Guys love the opportunity to earn

76
00:03:58,880 –> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: some downtime. And so going into that Raiders Chiefs game,

77
00:04:02,640 –> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: I guarantee you the Raiders staff dangle that carrot in

78
00:04:07,040 –> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: front of the players. Hey, if we go out there

79
00:04:08,840 –> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: and give maximum effort, no matter what the outcome of

80
00:04:11,360 –> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: the game, I will give y’all the week off. Y’all,

81
00:04:14,000 –> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, take ten days off. See you the next

82
00:04:16,279 –> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: prepare after the Baye week over. But if y’all. Don’t

83
00:04:18,800 –> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: if y’all go out there and poop in your caps

84
00:04:20,920 –> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: and don’t show me great effort, great focus on that field,

85
00:04:24,080 –> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: we will practice the day after the game Tuesday, Wednesday,

86
00:04:27,440 –> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: maybe even Thursday, before you have any dawn time. So

87
00:04:30,560 –> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: that is a character each coach can use. When you’re

88
00:04:33,160 –> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: heading into a game before a bye week, you can

89
00:04:36,160 –> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: incentivize your gas to go out there and give maximum

90
00:04:38,560 –> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: effort because you know they’re gonna have maximum rest to

91
00:04:41,279 –> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: prepare for that game. After the bat we always try

92
00:04:44,360 –> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: to give people pearls of wisdom and thought provoking you

93
00:04:47,560 –> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: know things and phrases, but don’t poop in your cap.

94
00:04:49,839 –> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: As a really good one. I guess I’m gonna take

95
00:04:52,360 –> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: that into the tomorrow man the rest of this day.

96
00:04:54,680 –> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: Don’t poop in your cap. And I don’t know how

97
00:04:58,240 –> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna get to spend their bye week

98
00:05:00,000 –> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: because of COVID. Right, That’s that’s last week’s podcast. The

99
00:05:03,160 –> 00:05:06,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs are playing in the COVID Prevention Division and trying

100
00:05:06,120 –> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: to win that again. The team that wins Super Bowl

101
00:05:08,240 –> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: fifty five might be the team that does the best

102
00:05:09,800 –> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: job of mitigating COVID. I don’t know. What that looks like.

103
00:05:12,279 –> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: But still that being said, I was thinking too. You know,

104
00:05:17,160 –> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: I’ll give herm Edwards props here. The Arizona State head

105
00:05:19,680 –> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: football coach, you knows a good man, but he said, hey,

106
00:05:22,560 –> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: when you take a football game in sixty minutes, you

107
00:05:24,720 –> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: really only go hard for six minutes. If you think

108
00:05:27,760 –> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: about it, it’s six minutes, and it frames your mind

109
00:05:31,800 –> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: on how to approach things. But if I’m going into

110
00:05:34,520 –> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: a bye week, you tell me if I’m wrong. I’m

111
00:05:37,040 –> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: leaving nothing. I’m not holding anything back because at the

112
00:05:40,440 –> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: very least, whether I stay in a hotel room or

113
00:05:42,279 –> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: or that travel, I ain’t planning for two weeks. Why

114
00:05:45,440 –> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: would I not just cut it loose like a playoff

115
00:05:48,560 –> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: game if I’m going into the bye week. And that’s

116
00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: what made you think. And I’ve got some stats here

117
00:05:54,839 –> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: that are interesting, but did you not cut it loose

118
00:05:57,480 –> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: the week before you had to buy? Even if they

119
00:05:59,440 –> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: didn’t have that carrot dangle in front of you? Always alway,

120
00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: that was something I held personally. I mean, the reason

121
00:06:04,360 –> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: I looked at my schedule to understand where my bille

122
00:06:06,600 –> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: week was. People think the bae week is a is

123
00:06:08,880 –> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: a way for the team to kind of reset itself

124
00:06:11,560 –> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: and do some self scouting and correct some things. To me,

125
00:06:15,040 –> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 1: that Bae week was I know I’m going to have

126
00:06:17,320 –> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: an extra long period of time between two games. So

127
00:06:20,640 –> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: that game right before the Baye Week, I was gonna

128
00:06:22,800 –> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: showcase every I was gonna put it. When you talk

129
00:06:25,120 –> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: about empty the tank, I was gonna make sure that

130
00:06:27,200 –> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: that that gasline, that gaslight was blinking, blinking red in

131
00:06:31,760 –> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: the third quarter and in the fourth quarter was all

132
00:06:34,560 –> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: good to enactity it was. I was deep and I

133
00:06:36,880 –> 00:06:39,359
Speaker 1: was digging so deep just to finish that game because

134
00:06:39,360 –> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: I know I didn’t have to get back on that

135
00:06:41,680 –> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: field for almost fourteen days. I hear you, it’s really interesting.

136
00:06:46,200 –> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: So I’m gonna fire up another one. Those who got

137
00:06:49,080 –> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: it out all the time too. You know Fort Ryley,

138
00:06:51,120 –> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Kansas just not far from here. It’s the home of

139
00:06:53,480 –> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: the Big Red One. Duty First Service always there’s just

140
00:06:57,360 –> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: one of them from the Big Red One. You have

141
00:07:00,000 –> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: Parmy Garrison at Fort Riley, kans is home of the

142
00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Big Red One. Some of the most important military installations

143
00:07:05,680 –> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: in the world are within two hours of where you

144
00:07:09,920 –> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: and I are setting right now. We’ll get into some

145
00:07:12,320 –> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: more a little bit later, but it’s right here. Like sometimes,

146
00:07:16,560 –> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: the center point of defending our country and defending our

147
00:07:20,560 –> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: world many times is right here in the Chiefs Kingdom.

148
00:07:24,400 –> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: And that’s something we remember this week in our Defending

149
00:07:27,440 –> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: the Kingdom podcast, which is WBB win before the Bye.

150
00:07:32,240 –> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: That’s what the Chiefs have this week against the Carolina Panthers.

151
00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: I did some research. Now there’s two things here. One

152
00:07:40,000 –> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: I’ll get into the Chiefs before the bye under Andy Reid.

153
00:07:42,760 –> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: It’s a little bit different than what’s happened this year.

154
00:07:46,720 –> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Eighteen teams have had buys so far this year. Some

155
00:07:50,400 –> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: of those have been COVID induced. Right, we have seen

156
00:07:52,760 –> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: the schedule change, some of the followed the schedules released

157
00:07:56,280 –> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: in early May. The teams that have the bye. The

158
00:08:00,720 –> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: week before the bye, the record is twelve wins in

159
00:08:05,080 –> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: six losses. So it follows the postulate here that we

160
00:08:09,720 –> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: have is that teams are and I think maybe in

161
00:08:11,840 –> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: the COVID realm it may intensify this. I don’t know,

162
00:08:16,320 –> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: but it seems like it. But the two out of

163
00:08:18,000 –> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: every I mean it’s two to one teams win before

164
00:08:20,960 –> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: there by, Well, you talk about preparing for a season,

165
00:08:23,720 –> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: and we talk about how all players and coaches talk

166
00:08:26,080 –> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: about the NFL season is a is more of a marathon, right.

167
00:08:31,600 –> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: It’s it’s a lot of short races, but it’s really

168
00:08:33,520 –> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: a marathon. It’s a long season. Guys go on out,

169
00:08:36,400 –> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: are come back off miss three or four weeks, come back,

170
00:08:39,800 –> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: and so you’re you’re you’re constantly adjusting your schedule and

171
00:08:42,920 –> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: your depth chart according to who’s available at what time.

172
00:08:47,760 –> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: But when you think about it, when you think about it,

173
00:08:49,720 –> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: because of COVID, you don’t know who There is no

174
00:08:53,120 –> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: planning around COVID. So guys are really just getting out

175
00:08:56,600 –> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: the gate every week, just playing as hard as they can,

176
00:08:59,679 –> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: and you have a chance to go one leg up

177
00:09:01,640 –> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: on the opponent when you might catch them in a

178
00:09:04,120 –> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: streak of having four or five tough games and you

179
00:09:06,920 –> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: know this game you’re gonna get an extra long break.

180
00:09:09,840 –> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: It allows you to dig even deeper in your soul

181
00:09:13,280 –> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: and bring down an even higher level of energy, emotion, passion,

182
00:09:17,200 –> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 1: all of those things that we see Chris Jones and

183
00:09:19,760 –> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: our defense they swimming and swagging and doing all these

184
00:09:23,160 –> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: dances before they hit the field. That type of energy

185
00:09:26,440 –> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: is hard to recreate when a game by game for

186
00:09:30,920 –> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: seventeen straight weeks. So you need moments of some emotional

187
00:09:34,880 –> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: highs and lows, and one that you can create. One

188
00:09:37,920 –> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: is kind of already set in your schedule. Is that

189
00:09:40,480 –> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: week before the buyer and two games come to note

190
00:09:43,440 –> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: and there’s twelve and six record of teams before thereby,

191
00:09:47,360 –> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: and two of the bigger maybe upsets. One is the

192
00:09:50,840 –> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: chief solusion of the Raiders, right, I mean, Derek Carr

193
00:09:53,480 –> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: played out of his mind. The Chiefs were getting hit

194
00:09:55,679 –> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: deep on those throws. Hagaloor all that receiving corps. Really,

195
00:10:00,800 –> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: but that’s the Raiders best game of the year, and

196
00:10:02,840 –> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs get ambushed to their seven and one. That’s

197
00:10:04,840 –> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: their only loss. Another one to me that comes to

198
00:10:06,800 –> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: mind that fits this mold. It just recently happened is

199
00:10:09,760 –> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: Arizona against Seattle, the Arizona Cardinals week before there by,

200
00:10:13,880 –> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: right heck of a game, man, and Connor Murray was

201
00:10:17,120 –> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: on fire. It goes to overtime, but Arizona put everything

202
00:10:20,720 –> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: into that game. Man, They’ve been sick of losing to

203
00:10:22,520 –> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: the Seahawks, and they win that game. Why have a

204
00:10:25,040 –> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: week before they’re buy Why hold back, man, You’re gonna

205
00:10:27,559 –> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: be firing. You know, the Navy will salute the navy.

206
00:10:30,840 –> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: We don’t have any navy around here because we don’t

207
00:10:32,520 –> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: have any oceans. But the point is you’re firing both torpedoes.

208
00:10:36,679 –> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: They’re uss Kansas City. That’s it. Got your brother, got

209
00:10:41,480 –> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: you COVID love it on a Q. But those two

210
00:10:45,200 –> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: games come to mind where those two teams unloaded their

211
00:10:47,880 –> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: ammo on teams that they were sick of losing two

212
00:10:51,280 –> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: the week before. They’re by and it’s almost even and

213
00:10:56,080 –> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: double is impact when you get to go against a

214
00:10:59,480 –> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: division opponent when you’re when you’re that little brother and

215
00:11:02,720 –> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: you’ve been getting kicked around. You know, Seattle and uh

216
00:11:06,200 –> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco have been kind of kicking Arizona around for

217
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: the last few years. But now you got this young

218
00:11:11,320 –> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: guy man Kyla Murray, he got d Hopkins, you got

219
00:11:13,800 –> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: some You got a talented you know, Oh Late to

220
00:11:16,240 –> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: North kid goes up there and plays defense. Simmons, young

221
00:11:19,400 –> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: Simmons from O Lateth to North. He goes up there

222
00:11:21,920 –> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: and is trying to be a star. Work on that defense.

223
00:11:25,000 –> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: You got some young talent there, And all you tell

224
00:11:27,559 –> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: those guys to do is, hey, man, give me everything

225
00:11:30,000 –> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: you got this game. I’ll take care of you after

226
00:11:32,840 –> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: this game is over. But if it takes four quarters,

227
00:11:34,880 –> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: and I think that game went in the overtime, took

228
00:11:36,880 –> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: a fifth quarter and and and still just back and forth.

229
00:11:41,080 –> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: Both teams like a heavyweight boxing mount match going Haymaker

230
00:11:44,840 –> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: for Hayemaker, and Arizona was able to withstand the Seattle

231
00:11:50,200 –> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks and get a deserved win and a very tough

232
00:11:54,960 –> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: NFCU NFC West being smarts what you’re talking about. You said,

233
00:12:00,040 –> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: don’t poop into cap. That’s big, real close. Just forty

234
00:12:04,679 –> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: five minutes away from Arrowhead Stadium, the United States Command,

235
00:12:09,280 –> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: the Command of General Staff College. It’s the west point

236
00:12:12,679 –> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: of West Point at Fort Leavenworth. If you’re going to

237
00:12:15,160 –> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: be a general, full bird colonel where they’re in our

238
00:12:17,960 –> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: army and most of our allies, you go to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

239
00:12:22,880 –> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: That’s where you go, I’m telling you. And if you’re

240
00:12:25,320 –> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: ever on campus there, once we get through COVID, you

241
00:12:28,120 –> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: will see full board colonels and generals that are our allies, Brits, Argentinians,

242
00:12:35,360 –> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: the Israelis. It’s I mean, it’s amazing place. It’s the

243
00:12:38,040 –> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: west point of West Point and it’s right here in

244
00:12:41,160 –> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Kingdom. You front doorstep. But that’s talking about

245
00:12:44,520 –> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: being smart and handling this. Now, the Chiefs, if you

246
00:12:48,080 –> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: look at Andy Reid’s history the week before the bye,

247
00:12:51,000 –> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: we know what he is after the buy. I mean,

248
00:12:52,760 –> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: he’s best in the league. But they’re only three and

249
00:12:56,160 –> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: four before buys. But they’ve had to go on the

250
00:12:58,080 –> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: road now. But last year, the week before the buy

251
00:13:02,160 –> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: was this game that turned the season around. They went

252
00:13:05,040 –> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: to Mexico City. They went to Mexico City and beat

253
00:13:08,640 –> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. When the Chiefs at that point, we’re six

254
00:13:11,120 –> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: and four and everybody thought they’re leaking oil. Here come

255
00:13:13,120 –> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Chiefs aren’t gonna win the division more or less,

256
00:13:15,480 –> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: they ain’t gonna get back to an o AFC championship game.

257
00:13:18,320 –> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: And I remember the feeling going to Mexico City, as

258
00:13:21,679 –> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: do you, because that was a hard trip. But the

259
00:13:24,640 –> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: team was like, pour it into this game because we

260
00:13:27,720 –> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: get two weeks, but we got to get this game

261
00:13:30,120 –> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: and take care of it, whether in Mexico or whether

262
00:13:32,520 –> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: in Venezuela or in you know, in in Botswana. It’s like,

263
00:13:37,520 –> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: we’ve got to win this game. And I could sense that, knowing, hey,

264
00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: you got two weeks after that. Pour it in to

265
00:13:43,559 –> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: this game and turn the season around. Well, you talk

266
00:13:46,160 –> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: about mindset, and we know that you can’t. You can’t

267
00:13:48,559 –> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: trick yourself too many times in this game of football.

268
00:13:52,240 –> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: If the guy lining up against you across the balls

269
00:13:55,440 –> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: alpha dog, he’s all pro. He’s doing all he can

270
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: get pressure on command, it’s not much you can do

271
00:14:01,400 –> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: about it. You link arms with the teammates. You tell

272
00:14:04,120 –> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 1: the running back in the tight en, I need some

273
00:14:05,760 –> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: help on this edge. I got. I got vond Miller

274
00:14:08,120 –> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: coming off the edge. I got Matt coming off the edge.

275
00:14:10,920 –> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: I got, I got Aaron Domod in front of me.

276
00:14:12,720 –> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: I’m gonna need some help. This guy is an alpha though.

277
00:14:15,559 –> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: But when you got that by week, you can look

278
00:14:17,559 –> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: at each other and say, hey man, I’m gonna make

279
00:14:19,640 –> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: this guy work every single dawn. I’m gonna make him

280
00:14:23,120 –> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: spend all the energy he has in the first half,

281
00:14:26,040 –> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: and I’m gonna see can he reach down deep in

282
00:14:28,080 –> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: the second half and bring it the way he’s been

283
00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: showing on film. He’s been able to do it for

284
00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: four quarters. You can make an opponent. You can make

285
00:14:35,240 –> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: an opponent kind of expend their energy early on because

286
00:14:39,760 –> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: you can start the game so aggressively because you’re not

287
00:14:43,040 –> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: worried about tomorrow. It’s winning for the day. And that’s

288
00:14:45,680 –> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: the attitude I think we went down there to Mexico

289
00:14:48,400 –> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: City to face the charges. Our guys had one thing

290
00:14:52,000 –> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: in mind. Start fans, finish strong. And that mentality only comes.

291
00:14:56,320 –> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: You can only truly believe that when you know that

292
00:14:58,680 –> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: you’re coming into a bye week and you don’t have

293
00:15:01,280 –> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: a game that following week, because your body subconsciously will

294
00:15:06,040 –> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: begin to tune it down in the fourth quarter. If

295
00:15:08,160 –> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: you know you got a game coming on Thursday night

296
00:15:10,400 –> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: or next Sunday early, you’re just human nature. You can’t

297
00:15:15,200 –> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: finish the way you need to finish if you know

298
00:15:17,120 –> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: you got a game the next week, So I look

299
00:15:19,120 –> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: forward to This might be the best example. We talk

300
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: about a Chiefs team all three phases, being able to

301
00:15:27,040 –> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: stack the wins like we’ve done the last couple of weeks.

302
00:15:29,680 –> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: Being able to run the ball, throw the ball, play

303
00:15:31,440 –> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: special teams, stop the run, get after the passer, make

304
00:15:34,920 –> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: big plays, turn the ball over on them, and hold

305
00:15:37,880 –> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: onto the ball. That’s how we number one in the

306
00:15:39,600 –> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: turnover ratio. All of those things come into factor just

307
00:15:43,040 –> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: one more time heading into the bye week. Yeah, changed

308
00:15:46,240 –> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: that fourteen takeaways, tied with Cleveland for the most and

309
00:15:48,840 –> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: the best giveaway takeaway in the National Football League. You

310
00:15:52,000 –> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: put that with the offense. This team has man it

311
00:15:54,600 –> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: is lethal and by the way, the maneuver supports center.

312
00:15:58,680 –> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: This is from the general at Fort leonard Wood, Missouri. Right.

313
00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: Also in the Chiefs Kingdom, Fort leonard Wood, Missouri train

314
00:16:05,600 –> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: a lot there, train our MP’s chemical warfare. Talk about

315
00:16:08,680 –> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: the engineers they trained at Fort leonard would a very

316
00:16:11,520 –> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: important military installation. What’s interesting about these bye weeks Now

317
00:16:16,160 –> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs will have their’s week nine, so the week

318
00:16:18,840 –> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: ten they’re gunning for this one to try to get

319
00:16:20,760 –> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: to eight and one and beat at Carolina team that

320
00:16:22,560 –> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: I think sneaky good. I don’t want you guys think

321
00:16:25,120 –> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: of these guys barbershop, but studying them this week, these

322
00:16:28,040 –> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: guys are sneaky good. Curtis Samuel runs around, He’s like

323
00:16:30,440 –> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills. He back is he’s slot? Where is he?

324
00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: I love Teddy Bridgewater. I mean his life was almost

325
00:16:35,960 –> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: taken with an injury in football. He has back almost

326
00:16:38,720 –> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: like Alex Smith. And then you look at their receiving corps.

327
00:16:42,480 –> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson’s having the year of his life. And they

328
00:16:45,160 –> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: did something in the draft this year that had not

329
00:16:48,440 –> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: been done since the nineteen sixty seven AFL NFL merger

330
00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: when the drafts came together it’s actually three years before

331
00:16:55,360 –> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: the merger. Shop Carolina spent every draft pick on a defense. Dude, everyone,

332
00:17:02,080 –> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: there’s no offensive, but to me, this is a dangerous

333
00:17:05,720 –> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: team and show the chief ship got to load it

334
00:17:08,240 –> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: up and do the whole WBBS we’re talking about. When

335
00:17:11,440 –> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: before the boy, well, I think the team when when

336
00:17:14,600 –> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: the head coach got there, he looked at the team

337
00:17:16,800 –> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: and he knew that Carolina was built on great defense.

338
00:17:19,440 –> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: Those those years of Ron Rivera and Sean McDermot were there.

339
00:17:22,560 –> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Those are some really good defensive teams, and I think

340
00:17:25,240 –> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: he felt over the years they kind of got away

341
00:17:27,359 –> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: from that. Once they got McCaffrey there. The offense seemed

342
00:17:31,119 –> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: to be head we’re just gonna try to outscore people.

343
00:17:33,160 –> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: But they realized, yeah, they were scoring points, but they

344
00:17:35,520 –> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: couldn’t stop anybody. And so they went like you said,

345
00:17:38,080 –> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: and spent every bit of draft draft capital on the

346
00:17:41,280 –> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. But then on offense, what

347
00:17:43,800 –> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 1: they did was they kind of reignited um, you know,

348
00:17:48,480 –> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: they reignited the offense by using young ten Right, the

349
00:17:52,080 –> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: goat from Ohio State. He was barely being used Curtis

350
00:17:55,280 –> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: Samuels barely being used a year ago, so they’ve made

351
00:17:57,760 –> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: him a jack of all trades. And then they go

352
00:17:59,720 –> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: out and get a number one ride receiver from the Jets.

353
00:18:02,400 –> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: They get Robbie Anderson, a guy whose numbers were always

354
00:18:05,119 –> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: putting out there, but because he was on the Jets team,

355
00:18:07,200 –> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: he was losing across the league. He wasn’t really getting

356
00:18:09,800 –> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: the shine on the respect that he’s getting nail. And

357
00:18:12,680 –> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: that allowed a number one in Dj Moore to now

358
00:18:15,640 –> 00:18:18,360
Speaker 1: become a number two receiver and he can he can

359
00:18:18,359 –> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: put on the show if you don’t give him the respect.

360
00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 1: DJ Moore can put up two touchdowns on a hundred

361
00:18:22,920 –> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: yards and teen receptions before you know it, in the

362
00:18:24,760 –> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: blink of an eye. And then they have depth at

363
00:18:28,119 –> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: the running back position because early in the season, right

364
00:18:31,040 –> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: McCaffrey goes down and what does Mike Davis do. He

365
00:18:33,880 –> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: doesn’t skip a beat. He’s shown that he’s a guy

366
00:18:36,400 –> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: that can step up and play at that next level.

367
00:18:38,640 –> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: So hey man, they got all all hands on boards.

368
00:18:41,440 –> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: They got a bunch of weapons, a bunch of bullets loaded,

369
00:18:44,000 –> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: and hey, we’re gonna They’re gonna give us their best shot.

370
00:18:46,200 –> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: But I believe this defense, this offense is special teams

371
00:18:49,040 –> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: what we’ve been doing here lately, and we ride that momentum.

372
00:18:51,840 –> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: We keep riding that train. We have so much trust

373
00:18:55,040 –> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: in one another. When you talk about that unit, a team,

374
00:18:58,320 –> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: even a community between our fans, our coaches, and our players,

375
00:19:01,720 –> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: there’s nothing I don’t think they can come into the

376
00:19:03,840 –> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium and break the trust between this team and

377
00:19:06,800 –> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: the coaches and our fan base. And Matt Rule broke

378
00:19:09,720 –> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: out something last week. He’s got PJ. Tucker, the quarterback

379
00:19:13,040 –> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: from a Temple kid, and they put him in. It’s

380
00:19:16,560 –> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: like a Taysom Hill type guy. I mean t J Walker,

381
00:19:19,600 –> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: I should say, came in. He’s like a you know,

382
00:19:21,320 –> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: it’s like, what’s the backup quarterback doing well? They did

383
00:19:23,720 –> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: the whole dual quarterback like the Saints do with Taysom Hill.

384
00:19:27,280 –> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: We’ll close it out this way. This is the Chiefs

385
00:19:29,680 –> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: by week next week, win before the bye. And yet

386
00:19:34,600 –> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: there are let’s say I’m kind of week nine, ten eleven,

387
00:19:37,320 –> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: there are bye weeks coming up, and then week thirteen

388
00:19:40,400 –> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: here’s the deal. Go back to our last Defending the

389
00:19:43,119 –> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: Kingdom episode. Of the three divisions, the Chiefs are playing,

390
00:19:45,680 –> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: and that’s one of the COVID division. Now, all of

391
00:19:47,480 –> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: a sudden, it popped out in just the last thirty

392
00:19:49,960 –> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: six hours. The Ravens are having issues. Some of their

393
00:19:53,200 –> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: top defensive players have gone to the COVID list. Yes,

394
00:19:56,359 –> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: most of these teams shop have no more bias. There

395
00:19:59,359 –> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: are no more buys. So the NFL, how you’re going

396
00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: to fit this in and how it’s this going to work.

397
00:20:03,520 –> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: They’re talking about potentially taking the week out between the

398
00:20:07,080 –> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: championship games and the Super Bowl to allow one more

399
00:20:09,960 –> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 1: week a week eighteen, if you will, to maybe have

400
00:20:14,760 –> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: one week where you can fit in some rescheduled games.

401
00:20:17,560 –> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: But we’re getting down now to the nitty gritty where

402
00:20:19,560 –> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: there are no more buys. You can’t really kind of

403
00:20:21,960 –> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: move the schedule around with a whole lot of flexibility.

404
00:20:24,600 –> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: This is going to get real interesting over the next

405
00:20:27,160 –> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: seventy five to ninety days. Yeah, they are teams that

406
00:20:30,119 –> 00:20:32,440
Speaker 1: are still trying to find out who they are and

407
00:20:32,440 –> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: what they’re doing this season. The COVID has thrown some

408
00:20:35,160 –> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: loops and some curveballs into some teams organizations. But I

409
00:20:38,240 –> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: think that what Andy has shown is that if you

410
00:20:40,760 –> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: have a process, if you have a process that’s always

411
00:20:44,320 –> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: looking to protect your players and you’re trying to continue

412
00:20:48,480 –> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: to mold and form them players to grow as a

413
00:20:51,560 –> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: team and as a unit on the field, you don’t

414
00:20:53,640 –> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: really worry about the product until the end of the season.

415
00:20:56,400 –> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: You have certain things that you want guys to come

416
00:20:58,520 –> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: into the facility and work on on day by day basis.

417
00:21:01,320 –> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: And part of that this year was the trace in contact.

418
00:21:06,760 –> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: I’m wearing your badges, um, having the face mask on,

419
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: being social distance, washing your hands, all the things that

420
00:21:13,680 –> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: we were asking the nation to do. Our players had

421
00:21:16,040 –> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: to do that tenfold and it became you had to

422
00:21:18,800 –> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: sacrifice some of your individual rights for the sake of

423
00:21:21,720 –> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: the team. And when when we talk about military appreciation,

424
00:21:25,359 –> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: that is the mentality those of guys have three hundred

425
00:21:28,200 –> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: and sixty five days out of the year they sacrifice

426
00:21:31,320 –> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: everything for the unit. And so with that we got

427
00:21:34,359 –> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: we got so many multiple units to go over as

428
00:21:36,560 –> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: you as you continue to speak, I’m just gonna keep

429
00:21:38,600 –> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: flashing up, Yeah, I got, I got, I got, I

430
00:21:42,359 –> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: got a bunch of the show. So I’m gonna keep

431
00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 1: on doing this as you close this, baby, there you

432
00:21:46,200 –> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: go the fourtieth Engineer Battalion. That’s what I’m talking about,

433
00:21:48,600 –> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: shappers man. They gotta blow stuff up for the blower. Yeah,

434
00:21:52,200 –> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: you got the Navy going on. There’s some are force.

435
00:21:56,119 –> 00:21:58,360
Speaker 1: You got them all. If you got something coach guard

436
00:21:58,440 –> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: in there, you got it all. Cup Yeah for all me, baby,

437
00:22:02,640 –> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: right there, hey me. Those cats don’t mess with those cats,

438
00:22:07,720 –> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 1: do not. Oh yeah, that’s for real. The whirlwind fantastic.

439
00:22:14,280 –> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: You got two more left. There you go, task for

440
00:22:19,119 –> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: I’m standing with there. This is the seventh Calf, my

441
00:22:23,160 –> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: two star major Lieutenant Major General Lieutenant Thompson. Yes, sir,

442
00:22:29,640 –> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: there he is us cat first Calf, first Calf. That’s

443
00:22:32,960 –> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: one of the more famous patches, uh in our military.

444
00:22:36,560 –> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: And I’ll give you this. She talked about Andy Reid.

445
00:22:38,920 –> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: Andy Reid talks about two things and dealing with COVID

446
00:22:41,359 –> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: for all of us, all of us, and it goes

447
00:22:43,520 –> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: back to the military. One unselfishness. Two discipline, he said,

448
00:22:48,600 –> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: and humility. He said to me, it is this is

449
00:22:52,160 –> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: I’m paraphrasing in an interview I did with him just

450
00:22:54,200 –> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: last week. He said to me, in my humble opinion,

451
00:22:56,680 –> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: it’s really about being unselfish. We got coaches, we have

452
00:22:59,680 –> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: players staying in hotel rooms away from their families to

453
00:23:03,040 –> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: try to stay safe for their families and for their team.

454
00:23:06,680 –> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: I’m reminded of another one, a huge Chiefs fan, and

455
00:23:09,960 –> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: when I got this, he was the Chairman of the

456
00:23:12,000 –> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs of Staff. That is the top rank you

457
00:23:16,040 –> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: can have in our military, and it’s General Richard Myers,
