Speaker 1: Hey man, as you can see him rocking the Christmas colors,
13
00:00:39,400 –> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: this is the I don’t know if you remember the
14
00:00:41,440 –> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 1: vintage Mexico City jacket, though it has the flag from Mexico,
15
00:00:47,800 –> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: I realize it’s also the Christmas colors. So in the
16
00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: spirit of the holiday, the spirit of gifting, I thought
17
00:00:55,000 –> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: I’d be perfect where this Chiefs Edition holiday apparel. But
18
00:01:00,080 –> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: days show well done. And speaking of gifting, our show’s

Speaker 1: brought to you by those bows seven hundred headphones that
20
00:01:06,720 –> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: we’ve worn all year. This isn’t that we’ve been on
21
00:01:09,840 –> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: some kind of holiday rush here. But I think my
22
00:01:13,840 –> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: wife took my Bows seven hundred headphones and is going
23
00:01:17,000 –> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: she wrapped them up to regift them to me during Christmas.
24
00:01:21,840 –> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: So I’m thinking, wow, that’s quite a play there. But
25
00:01:24,560 –> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: if I get him back, that’ll be okay. I’ll just
26
00:01:26,880 –> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: open him up and act like I’m surprised, and I go, man,

Speaker 1: pro bowl version of headphones, it’s those Bows seven hundreds.
33
00:01:46,360 –> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: All right? You say that? My son right, he’s in
34
00:01:50,280 –> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: high school. He’s been doing the hybrid learning model. Guess
35
00:01:53,560 –> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: who took mine? My son right, Blue Valley North, he’s
36
00:01:57,600 –> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: a sophomore. Every morning he has my Bows seven hundreds.
37
00:02:02,160 –> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: And I got to get him back for the show.
38
00:02:03,920 –> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: And I come to do the show and I realized
39
00:02:05,640 –> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: I reached into my bag, where’s my Bow seven hundreds?
40
00:02:08,360 –> 00:02:11,239

42
00:02:14,280 –> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: Does he usually get you something for Christmas under the tree? Hey?
43
00:02:17,280 –> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: A pair of socks, a pair of underwear. You know,
44
00:02:19,200 –> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: a dad can only expect so much, maybe a funky
45
00:02:22,919 –> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: tie or something. But it’s always done with the great.
46
00:02:26,240 –> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: You know, he has a heart forgiving, so I appreciate
47
00:02:28,639 –> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: it whatever he gives me. Guess what you’re gonna get
48
00:02:30,800 –> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: this year. He’s gonna wrap up those bows seven hundred
49
00:02:33,480 –> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: head funds and give him to It’s like my wife’s
50
00:02:35,840 –> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: given to me. All right. This edition of The Defending
51
00:02:38,360 –> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Kingdom is called Seize It, Seize It, Take It. It’s there.
52
00:02:43,480 –> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, my background here, I got Travis
53
00:02:46,080 –> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: Kelsey up here over my right shoulder. He’s got a
54
00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: chance to be the all time National Football League tied
55
00:02:52,040 –> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: into the single season. He’s real close to that record.
56
00:02:54,960 –> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: He’s done way more than that. I mean, he’s redefined
57
00:02:57,000 –> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: the position this year. And of course, my man Patrick
58
00:02:59,280 –> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: Mahomes right here in big red Annie read. If the
59
00:03:02,480 –> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs win this game against Atlanta will be a franchise
60
00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: record fourteenth victory in the regular season hasn’t happened in
61
00:03:08,560 –> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: sixty one years of this franchise. But the biggest prize
62
00:03:12,520 –> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: here this week to season is it’s their shop, the
63
00:03:16,160 –> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: chance to get the only buy available this year in
64
00:03:20,000 –> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: the AFC. It’s theirs for the taking. Nothing else has
65
00:03:23,560 –> 00:03:26,119
Speaker 1: to happen. You mentioned this on our Chiefs Rerund Show
66
00:03:26,240 –> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: last Sunday night after the Saints game, was the fact
67
00:03:29,320 –> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: that we don’t have to rely on anybody else. It’s there,
68
00:03:32,200 –> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: so grab it season shop. We talk about the top
69
00:03:36,440 –> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, the team that no one wanted
70
00:03:38,720 –> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: to see, try to run it back. Also being given
71
00:03:42,360 –> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: the bye week, that’s an extra advantage, that’s an opportunity.
72
00:03:45,680 –> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Needs to rest your dogs, rest your horses. Nobody wants
73
00:03:49,080 –> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: to run a race with someone who’s getting a advantage. Right,
74
00:03:52,600 –> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: we talk about having an advantage for the NFL season.
75
00:03:55,760 –> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: Everybody has to run the same race. It’s seventeen weeks,
76
00:03:59,160 –> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: hard nosed foot ball. You gotta play your best. You
77
00:04:01,640 –> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: got to. You gotta play a full season just to
78
00:04:04,280 –> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: earn a spot in the playoffs. Once you get to
79
00:04:06,640 –> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, we talk about the records are raced. It’s
80
00:04:09,720 –> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: one and done. You lose and you go home. You
81
00:04:12,160 –> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: win and you advance the only advantage in the playoffs
82
00:04:16,000 –> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: is that by week Yeah, during the play by play
83
00:04:19,240 –> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: last week of the game, I tied it into the
84
00:04:21,400 –> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: former NASCAR driver recently retired Clint Bowyers from Emporia, Kansas,
85
00:04:25,040 –> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 1: an enormous Chiefs fan. He just retired, but five hundred
86
00:04:28,800 –> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: and sixty one races, he won ten in a nas
87
00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: Cup series. Four times he was the pole. I said,
88
00:04:33,279 –> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: he could tell us all about the advantage of the
89
00:04:35,120 –> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: pole position. You laid it out beautifully for the Chiefs
90
00:04:38,000 –> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: to grab it. But what we’ve also seen here are
91
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: some teams that have had an opportunity that have not
92
00:04:42,680 –> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: grabbed it. If you go back and look at the
93
00:04:44,600 –> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: Rams last weekend, they are their neck and neck. They
94
00:04:47,279 –> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: do not like the Seahawks. That division has been a
95
00:04:50,080 –> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: dog eat dog division all year, and yet they lose
96
00:04:53,160 –> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: to the Jets. The Jets and now it puts them
97
00:04:56,480 –> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: in parallel of losing the division title to Seattle. They
98
00:04:59,360 –> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: gotta scramble get it. And then the Saints, I mean,
99
00:05:03,080 –> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: the Saints had a great position to be in the
100
00:05:05,200 –> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: one seed for the NFC. They’re a battle on the Packers,
101
00:05:07,680 –> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: but now they’re behind. They’ve lost two straight games, but
102
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: they launched to the Eagles seventeen to fourteen. Here are
103
00:05:13,800 –> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs taken on the four and ten Falcons in
104
00:05:16,680 –> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: the same spot. Take it, seize it against the team
105
00:05:20,560 –> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: that I’m calling mercurial. I’m very talented Atlanta team that
106
00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: is mercurial. Man. They’ve been all over the map. We
107
00:05:27,400 –> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: talk about a Falcons team that has lost three or
108
00:05:29,839 –> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: four times this season being up by seventeen. Don’t talk
109
00:05:34,040 –> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 1: about the fact that they allowed another team to come back,
110
00:05:36,800 –> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: But how about the fact that they were good enough
111
00:05:38,720 –> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: to get up by seventeen. That’s the point of that
112
00:05:41,040 –> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: people don’t really realize. I mean, you have to have
113
00:05:43,680 –> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: some offensive weapons, you have to have some firepower, and
114
00:05:46,040 –> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: you also oxually have to make some defensive stops to
115
00:05:49,600 –> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: allow your team to get up by three scores. And
116
00:05:52,200 –> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: they’ve been able to do that multiple times this season.
117
00:05:54,720 –> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: So that’s not a team to be taken lightly. They
118
00:05:57,480 –> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: can put up points, they can run up the school
119
00:05:59,200 –> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: board very quick, and they have defense that can make
120
00:06:01,839 –> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: big plays guys and get to the pass rusher, I
121
00:06:04,040 –> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: mean get to the quarterback pass rushers, and they can
122
00:06:06,360 –> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: stop to run. So they’re a capable team. I think
123
00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: they’re just a team in a season of transition having
124
00:06:12,880 –> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: to fire the coach moving on having a temporary standing coach.
125
00:06:17,920 –> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: It leaves a lot to be desired as far as
126
00:06:20,360 –> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: an organization having a vision to follow, but as far
127
00:06:23,880 –> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: as skill players having the ability to play at the
128
00:06:26,839 –> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: highest level. The Falcons teams, they come out like game
129
00:06:30,200 –> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: busters out of the gate. You have to be able
130
00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: to withstand that that first rush, that first um, you know,
131
00:06:37,800 –> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: first quarter or so, and then you got to be
132
00:06:39,839 –> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: able to start strong and finish strong against the Falcons.
133
00:06:42,520 –> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: And there’s going to be a test for us here
134
00:06:44,520 –> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: in the Arrowheads and Arrowhead Stadium to see if our
135
00:06:48,040 –> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: team is really prepared for the playoffs, ready to finish,
136
00:06:52,320 –> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: start fast and finish strong. And a time can our
137
00:06:55,279 –> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: producers open some gifts during the holidays in the Christmas
138
00:06:58,560 –> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: time and looked at it like what is this? Can’t
139
00:07:01,800 –> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: tell like it looks at it upside down. I’ve given
140
00:07:04,120 –> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: a few of those away shop, but when I see
141
00:07:06,880 –> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, it’s like opening up that and going
142
00:07:09,320 –> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: what is this and what are they? You mentioned the
143
00:07:12,160 –> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: three seventeen point leads blown. That’s only three times since
144
00:07:15,800 –> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: nineteen forty in the national Football League. So well, whoa, whoa, whoa.
145
00:07:20,880 –> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have won six straight games of a touchdown
146
00:07:24,440 –> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: or less. That’s an all time NFL record. So what
147
00:07:27,600 –> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: do we have here? But to your point is, if
148
00:07:30,000 –> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: you’re looking at this like, well, this Falcon team is
149
00:07:32,120 –> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: dangerous because they’ve had those leads and they’re thinking if
150
00:07:35,280 –> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: something that goofy on sidekick against Dallas. I mean, they’ve
151
00:07:37,920 –> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: had just stuff happen to them. But this is a team. Hey,
152
00:07:41,080 –> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: if the Jets can upset the Rams and the Eagles
153
00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: can upset the Saints, then the Chiefs have got to
154
00:07:46,480 –> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: take care of business and seize the day and beat
155
00:07:48,960 –> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: these guys. Hey, this is a glass. If you fill
156
00:07:52,800 –> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: it up, is it half empty or half full? That’s
157
00:07:55,880 –> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: what you got with the Atlanta Falcons. Are their team
158
00:07:58,400 –> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: is half empty or half full? You don’t know until
159
00:08:00,760 –> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: you play them, until you go out there and improve
160
00:08:02,880 –> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: it to them. If you allow that team to stay
161
00:08:05,160 –> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: with you for a quarter, a half, and god forbid
162
00:08:08,440 –> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: three quarters, and you give them the thought process, they
163
00:08:11,080 –> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: actually can go out and win a game. They have
164
00:08:13,520 –> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: enough skilled players to actually pull it off. The Julio Jones,
165
00:08:16,880 –> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: the Ridley’s obviously, the girlies, Matt Ryan at quarterback on
166
00:08:21,360 –> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: the deepensive side of the ball, a bunch of playmakers
167
00:08:23,600 –> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: throughout all three levels. They have enough firepower on both
168
00:08:27,520 –> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: sides of the ball and they can actually make a
169
00:08:30,640 –> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: ball game a gay from it. But if at the
170
00:08:32,920 –> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, if you seize it, like you said,
171
00:08:36,080 –> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 1: if you seize the moment, seize the opportunity, understand that
172
00:08:39,679 –> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: the first round buy is at stake, and if you
173
00:08:42,280 –> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: want it, go get it. The Kansas City Chiefs have
174
00:08:45,200 –> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: a perfect opportunity to at the beginning of this game
175
00:08:48,480 –> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: to make it be crystal clear who is a playoff
176
00:08:52,080 –> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: bound team headed for greatness and who is a team
177
00:08:55,000 –> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: that needs to go home and rebuild. If we don’t
178
00:08:57,240 –> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: come out the gates and improve it to him in
179
00:08:58,800 –> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: quarter one and let them hang around, then we lead
180
00:09:01,720 –> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: doubt in our own minds and we give hope to
181
00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: their team. Ryan’s put up Matt Ryan’s thirty five years
182
00:09:08,200 –> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: old of and around the league a long time. Had
183
00:09:09,800 –> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl heartache in Super Bowl fifty one against
184
00:09:12,800 –> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: New England when they had the big league and let
185
00:09:14,280 –> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: it go. But the dudes put up some big numbers
186
00:09:16,080 –> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 1: this year. Four hundred and fifty in a game, three
187
00:09:18,040 –> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five in a game. He has turned
188
00:09:20,400 –> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: it over eleven times on picks and lost two fumbles.
189
00:09:23,160 –> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: But to your point, this can be a high volume offense.
190
00:09:26,600 –> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: And I love Julio Jones, but I really like Cam Ridley.
191
00:09:30,040 –> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: I think he’s one of the more under the radar
192
00:09:31,720 –> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: guys in this league. If you look at his catches,
193
00:09:33,559 –> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: yards and yards per catch, he’s a guy that can
194
00:09:35,960 –> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: pose big problems for the Chiefs on Sunday always. They
195
00:09:39,480 –> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 1: have one of the If you look at their wide
196
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: receiver corps, we talk about how versus out and how
197
00:09:45,080 –> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: explosive the Chiefs receivers are, including Kelsey, and that with Kelsey,
198
00:09:50,559 –> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and Cheetah, well, when you look at the
199
00:09:53,240 –> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Falcons offense, they’re equally explosive. They’re a team that can
200
00:09:56,960 –> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: go vertical and they got one of those guys. If
201
00:09:59,640 –> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: it’s a fifty fifty ball. Julio Jones is amazing with
202
00:10:03,320 –> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: his catch radius, amazing hands, top end speed, and Ridley
203
00:10:07,880 –> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: is a sputting star. He’s one of those guys that
204
00:10:10,920 –> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: are just just off the radar, but in a year
205
00:10:13,400 –> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: or two he’s gonna be the next great when you
206
00:10:16,840 –> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: talk about a handful of receivers upcoming, justin Jefferson and
207
00:10:22,160 –> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: those type of guys coming from the Minnesota Vikings. But
208
00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley is on that next that next tier of
209
00:10:29,080 –> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: great wide receivers, and if you allow that young man
210
00:10:32,080 –> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: to get get started, it can be a very long
211
00:10:34,720 –> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: day for your defense. Basing a high powered Falcons offense.
212
00:10:38,960 –> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: The Atlanta defense is part of this mercurial team. They’ve
213
00:10:43,320 –> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: struggled in past defense a lot, but upfront they’ve got
214
00:10:46,280 –> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: some athletes now that can make things difficult. We saw
215
00:10:49,000 –> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes get hit a lot in the New Orleans game.
216
00:10:51,960 –> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: They can press her and you’ve got to again take
217
00:10:54,440 –> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: care of the opportunities that you get. Because this Atlanta
218
00:10:57,200 –> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: defense has had its moments, yeah been They’ve had a
219
00:11:00,960 –> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: problem always in that back end trying to relate to
220
00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: receivers deepen routes deep in the snap count a lot
221
00:11:08,800 –> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: of times with his long yardage, They’ve they’ve tried to
222
00:11:11,760 –> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: do some things, mix up pressures and they leave a
223
00:11:14,200 –> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: lot of man to man coverage on the back end,
224
00:11:16,360 –> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: and they just don’t really have the skill level to
225
00:11:18,679 –> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: match up greatly against you. When you’re talking about that
226
00:11:21,400 –> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: the level and the caliber of receivers the Chiefs have,
227
00:11:24,520 –> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: So I would see them trying to go away from that,
228
00:11:27,360 –> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: maybe trying to go to what Tampa Bay did, what
229
00:11:31,920 –> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: a few teams tried to do to us with the
230
00:11:33,720 –> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: drop eights scenario and allowed Pat Mahomes to hold the
231
00:11:37,679 –> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: ball a little bit longer, but then to just overflood
232
00:11:40,559 –> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: the zones with defenders and try to play that Ben
233
00:11:43,480 –> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: don’t break defense style of ball. If you come after
234
00:11:46,920 –> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes again and again each week, he’s shown you
235
00:11:50,679 –> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: pressuring a guy with that type of mindset, with that
236
00:11:54,760 –> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: type of capability, but the arm skills that Pat Mahomes has,
237
00:11:59,760 –> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: it ends up being a quick way to a loss.
238
00:12:03,160 –> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: And so I don’t know how many times the team’s
239
00:12:05,480 –> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: gonna do it. They’re gonna try to stick back by
240
00:12:07,040 –> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: their guns and do what they do on defense. But
241
00:12:09,960 –> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: I think the recipe for success or trying to create
242
00:12:13,080 –> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: some type of success against our Chiefs offense is dropping
243
00:12:17,720 –> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: as many defenders as possible, making us throw check downs,
244
00:12:21,120 –> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: making us move the ball down the field. And we’ve
245
00:12:24,400 –> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: we’ve proven over time that even that is a is
246
00:12:27,440 –> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: a losing mentality. So again there’s a reason the Chiefs
247
00:12:30,320 –> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: are only have one limish on the record for the
248
00:12:32,960 –> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: season is because we’ve learned how to evolve to whatever
249
00:12:36,559 –> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: defenses trying to do to defend Pat Mahomes Chargers. I’m
250
00:12:40,720 –> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: sorry the Falcons, I say the Chargers because Young Hoku’s
251
00:12:44,160 –> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: their kicker. Now, remember he was with the Chargers and struggled.
252
00:12:46,800 –> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: He leads the league in scoring. He’s thirty five or
253
00:12:48,920 –> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: thirty six on field goals. That dude get lasic. I remember,
254
00:12:51,800 –> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: did he have the goggles or something? Did he get lasic?
255
00:12:54,160 –> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: Because he actually got lasing from a guy Silverstein because
256
00:12:57,440 –> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: he’s hitting every field goal. Now you don’t want to
257
00:12:59,559 –> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: get down the field goal. Our guy is really good.
258
00:13:01,480 –> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: But that the young Olku has resurrected his career with
259
00:13:04,320 –> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Man young Ocu has done a good thing.
260
00:13:06,640 –> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 1: I think by taking the glasses off, he no longer
261
00:13:09,800 –> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: looks at the goal posts. Only thing right, when you
262
00:13:12,840 –> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: have that distance right, when he’s far sighted, he can’t
263
00:13:16,120 –> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: see far so he doesn’t even look at the goal post.
264
00:13:18,280 –> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: He just looks right down at the ball. And he’s
265
00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:23,439
Speaker 1: fine tuned his system to just close right. I just
266
00:13:23,520 –> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: need to see I make good contact and whatever happens happens.
267
00:13:26,440 –> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: That might be the best case scenario for a kicker
268
00:13:29,559 –> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: because it keeps their process, it keeps their mindset on
269
00:13:33,320 –> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: just creating good contact and letting whatever happened happening. He
270
00:13:36,320 –> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: doesn’t see what he says. You can’t see the forest
271
00:13:38,679 –> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: for the tree, or you can’t see the tree for
272
00:13:40,360 –> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: the forest. However that’s saying goes. Young Oku has done
273
00:13:44,000 –> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: a great job in the last couple of weeks of
274
00:13:46,720 –> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: being a definitely one of the premiere upcoming kickers when
275
00:13:51,360 –> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: we see him. So many kickers in the league extra points,
276
00:13:55,160 –> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: missfield goals, costing their teams games. Young Oku, he’s been
277
00:13:59,000 –> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: able to keep the falcon in ball games with his
278
00:14:01,720 –> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: powerful league. Why am I thinking of Michael Jordan making
279
00:14:05,320 –> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: free throws with his eyes closed when you were talking
280
00:14:07,800 –> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: about that, Maybe Young Oku is closing his eyes and
281
00:14:11,040 –> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: kicking these all these field goals. We’re going to close
282
00:14:13,360 –> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: this way, and it’s the guy’s on my shoulders here
283
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: because we’re going to talk about some records here that
284
00:14:20,160 –> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: are on the line this weekend, and again it is
285
00:14:22,960 –> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: not the top priority. So don’t think we’re going there
286
00:14:26,640 –> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: because this guy over my shoulder on the left side
287
00:14:29,080 –> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: doesn’t want to hear about all that. He wants to
288
00:14:31,080 –> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: win this game and clinch that one seed and get
289
00:14:33,880 –> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: that buy in THEFC playoffs. But the guy to my
290
00:14:37,240 –> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: top right shoulder, Travis Kelsey shop has got the chance.
291
00:14:42,760 –> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: He’s right there to have the best year statistically in
292
00:14:46,400 –> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: the history the National Football League for any tight end.
293
00:14:48,800 –> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: You’ve coupled that with what he’s done the last five
294
00:14:50,600 –> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: years in his blocking, this year has been superb. Just
295
00:14:54,120 –> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: go watch the sprint option play for the Chiefs last
296
00:14:57,040 –> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: touchdown and look at what Kelsey buries that dude that
297
00:15:00,200 –> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: allows Patrick to cut up fielding and pitch it late
298
00:15:04,000 –> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: to Levy on Bellas. I just to our catches and
299
00:15:05,920 –> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: yards and yards per catch with kel sho’s spent about
300
00:15:08,480 –> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: his comprehensive game, I don’t think I am so proud
301
00:15:11,800 –> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: of him. We’ve talked about him undefending the Kingdom a lot,
302
00:15:14,280 –> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: but Travis Kelsey has a chance to have a big,
303
00:15:16,560 –> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: big day for him personally and for the team. On Sunday, well,
304
00:15:19,920 –> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: we talk about Travis Kelsey aka Zeus. My nickname for
305
00:15:24,160 –> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: him is in fuego because he is on fire and
306
00:15:27,680 –> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: we’re talking about a consistent the consistency that that man
307
00:15:31,160 –> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: has been playing all year long. And actually, you know what,
308
00:15:34,120 –> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: Niche we can go back two seasons, we can go
309
00:15:36,560 –> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: but the last two seasons he’s been one of the
310
00:15:39,120 –> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: most consistent offensive threats in the NFL. It doesn’t matter
311
00:15:44,880 –> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: what position he’s played. He’s unguardable, no matter if you
312
00:15:48,800 –> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: recognize the split, you recognize the formation, you think you
313
00:15:52,000 –> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: know where Rowdy’s running, even when he’s covered him and
314
00:15:54,960 –> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes has this like like they’re twins. They have this mindset,
315
00:15:58,960 –> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: this mental connection that he just becomes uncovered and Pat
316
00:16:03,080 –> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes has the arm strength in the vision to stay
317
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: with them until he becomes uncovered and complete the ball.
318
00:16:09,080 –> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: We’ve seen completion after completion, first down after first down.
319
00:16:12,680 –> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at the Chiefs of
320
00:16:14,320 –> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: victories this year, fifty percent of that victory could be
321
00:16:18,160 –> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: placed on Kelsey creating first downs, first downs, first downs,
322
00:16:23,120 –> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: and then making himself available for touchdowns. Even in this
323
00:16:26,840 –> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: last ball game we talk about cheater, the change three
324
00:16:32,280 –> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: directions and then late coming out well, guests two was
325
00:16:35,720 –> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: triple covered in that same play Travis Kelsey. Yes, if
326
00:16:39,680 –> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: you triple cover Kelsey, there’s nobody left to cover cheater. Right.
327
00:16:42,680 –> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: That’s but that’s the type of awareness offenses. Our offense
328
00:16:47,640 –> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: has on where Kelsey is lining up, but defenses has
329
00:16:50,160 –> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: to pay so much attention to him that other playmakers
330
00:16:53,200 –> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: get unaccounted for, and it becomes easy pickings for Pat Mahomes,
331
00:16:57,240 –> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: and it becomes easy pickings for then Big Red to
332
00:17:00,160 –> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: draw up new plays based off of how you’re trying
333
00:17:02,480 –> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: to defend Travis Kelsey. So when you talk about offensive
334
00:17:06,600 –> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: MVP this year, he is the guy that rings the
335
00:17:09,920 –> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: bell when you talk about somebody who has to be
336
00:17:12,320 –> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: accounting for each and every play and trying to stop
337
00:17:15,440 –> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense. It’s just interesting. These three pictures behind
338
00:17:18,800 –> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: me are all kind of tied together because to me,
339
00:17:21,160 –> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: it seems like that’s the way they are. Their brains
340
00:17:24,000 –> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: are knitted together in the way that they work. And
341
00:17:27,359 –> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: Patrick with Kelsey or again some other planet, it’s like
342
00:17:30,800 –> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: what Saturn and Jupiter side by side right now, that’s
343
00:17:33,560 –> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: what these guys are that hadn’t happened in six hundred years.
344
00:17:36,480 –> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: This has never happened. And then finally the guy for
345
00:17:39,280 –> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: my left shoulder in Andy Reid, wants to take care
346
00:17:42,240 –> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: of business and get this victory over the Falcons. But
347
00:17:44,280 –> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: if they do shop, let’s just pause here a second,
348
00:17:47,880 –> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: that will be fourteen regular season wins. That’s never happened
349
00:17:51,040 –> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: in franchise history. To me, we’re trying to run it back.
350
00:17:54,800 –> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: It’s a super Bowl fifty five. Get a back to
351
00:17:56,880 –> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: back super Bowl championship. That hasn’t happened, we know, in
352
00:17:59,680 –> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: six teen years. But to go fourteen and two in
353
00:18:02,359 –> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: the regular season, it’s something that creates its own energy
354
00:18:05,359 –> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: that spends you also in the offseason and takes you
355
00:18:08,880 –> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty one. Because if you do something that’s
356
00:18:11,200 –> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: significant that’s never been done, that does create momentum that
357
00:18:15,000 –> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: carries through for months ahead and hopefully that with a
358
00:18:17,680 –> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: super Bowl title. But to do it and maybe the
359
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: toughest year, one of the toughest years ever in the AFC,
360
00:18:22,920 –> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: the fact that it took fourteen and two to get
361
00:18:24,680 –> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: it done and that you’ve got a chance to have
362
00:18:26,920 –> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: success in the playoffs, to me is a big deal.
363
00:18:30,240 –> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: Man Big Red will never get his proper amount of credit.
364
00:18:34,400 –> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: But he doesn’t ask for it. He doesn’t want it,
365
00:18:36,160 –> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: he doesn’t desire it. He loves leading his ball team
366
00:18:39,440 –> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: because it’s full of men trying to pursue greatness, and
367
00:18:43,480 –> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: that’s all he does. He created a vision, He created
368
00:18:47,080 –> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: an environment for them to learn and be willing to
369
00:18:50,280 –> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: grow and evolve. This offense, this team, this Chief’s Kingdom,
370
00:18:55,880 –> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: the fan base, the organization all had to really understand
371
00:19:01,280 –> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: what coach Andy Reid’s vision for this organization was. And
372
00:19:05,440 –> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: he was able not to only not within himself, but
373
00:19:09,119 –> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: he stayed so true to that that you know, Bob
374
00:19:11,880 –> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: Sutton is out the picture of John Dorsey had to
375
00:19:14,960 –> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: leave the organization and with Steve Spagnola coming in with
376
00:19:19,440 –> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: following Andy Reid’s vision, Bret veach understanding Andy Reid’s vision
377
00:19:24,600 –> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: and for them to come in and not lose a beat,
378
00:19:27,480 –> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: to jump on the train, keep the train moving, not
379
00:19:30,080 –> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: lose any momentum, to win the amount of games we
380
00:19:33,480 –> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: won in a in a in a four hundred almost
381
00:19:35,640 –> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: four hundred years span, to have grown men be that
382
00:19:41,280 –> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: focused on getting a just just a little bit better
383
00:19:46,119 –> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: each day, not not trying to recreate the wheel, but
384
00:19:49,480 –> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: just understanding your own game and understanding if you can
385
00:19:53,359 –> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: get that much better, this much better each day at practice,
386
00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: each day at practice, understanding w we want to go
387
00:20:01,000 –> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: as a team as an organization. It’s never been about
388
00:20:04,280 –> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: wins and losses. It’s always with him developing players to
389
00:20:08,880 –> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: be better ball players, to understand game plans, understand game situations,
390
00:20:14,320 –> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: and just to be a contribution to this team in
391
00:20:17,800 –> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: a winning fashion and let the schoolboy take care of itself.
392
00:20:21,560 –> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: He’s never been worried about those things, so he’s always
393
00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: continuously pushing but people to let your personality show evolve
394
00:20:29,240 –> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: as an organization, evolved as a team, grow as an individual,
395
00:20:32,920 –> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: grow as a man, and that will help our football
396
00:20:35,560 –> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: team as a whole become better. And whatever the record
397
00:20:38,560 –> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 1: is and whatever the score ball to the game, we’ll
398
00:20:40,480 –> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: deal with that. The result of that has been an
399
00:20:43,640 –> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: amazing run that every game we are the favorite going
400
00:20:48,000 –> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: into the game because we are the most skilled ball
401
00:20:50,480 –> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: team going into each and every game. Each week, we
402
00:20:53,960 –> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: can win something, we can lose some. But there is
403
00:20:56,320 –> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: no team that can beat the Kansas City Chiefs except
404
00:20:59,520 –> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs. Twenty two and one over
405
00:21:03,600 –> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: a span of four hundred and fifteen days is just
406
00:21:06,160 –> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: mind boggling. And Matt McMullan put it up. I retweeted
407
00:21:09,680 –> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: at NFL Research had it you just look at the
408
00:21:12,760 –> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: company you’re in and that and it’s some of the
409
00:21:16,160 –> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: greatest teams, if not the greatest teams of all time.
410
00:21:18,880 –> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: All right, Shop will close out of here. But it’s
411
00:21:20,920 –> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: interesting these three guys, and you’re laying it out there
412
00:21:23,840 –> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: so well, all three will wear a gold jacket some
413
00:21:26,560 –> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: day in camp. While all three of them, we might
414
00:21:29,000 –> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: as well put gold jackets on them in this episode.
415
00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: But here’s why they’ll wear gold jackets, every one of
416
00:21:36,320 –> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: these guys, all three of them. When they’ve had the opportunity,
417
00:21:40,240 –> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: they’ve seized it. And now it’s time for this Chief’s
418
00:21:42,960 –> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: Team at twenty twenty in the Chiefs Kingdom to see
419
00:21:45,160 –> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: it this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays,
420
00:21:49,880 –> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: God bless you Shop and all your family. Hey man,
421
00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: we got to seize the moment. Hopefully Chief’s Kingdom come
422
00:21:55,359 –> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: out to the stadium. If you’re not at the stadium,
423
00:21:57,440 –> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: wherever you at, cheer one on your team. You can
424
00:22:00,240 –> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: feel that emotion, We feel that passion. We know that
425
00:22:02,920 –> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: you have a purpose. The purpose of this team is
426
00:22:04,880 –> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: to not only grab that number one seat, but to
427
00:22:07,240 –> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: carry that winning momentum on into the playoffs all the
428
00:22:10,560 –> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: way to Tampa Bay so we can go back to
429
00:22:12,680 –> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: back and run it back. Mitchell’s voice of the Chiefs.
430
00:22:16,359 –> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: We hope you all have a special I know it’s different,
431
00:22:19,040 –> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: but a special holiday season and yeah, it’s time to
432
00:22:22,240 –> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: run it back. But this week it’s time to seize it.
