00:00:45,400 –> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: As people might not know, I was tested post tested

15
00:00:49,159 –> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: positive for COVID about two weeks ago, which kept me

16
00:00:52,720 –> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: away from the broadcast, kept me away from Defending the Kingdom.

17
00:00:56,800 –> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: But man, I’m back. I’m back into the flow. I’m

21
00:01:09,640 –> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: at Aarrowheads Stadium to bring nest swagger back. So I’m

22
00:01:13,080 –> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: looking forward to defending the Kingdom tonight again. Our seven

28
00:01:31,280 –> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: and you’re running back attempts here in the Kingdom. All right,

29
00:01:34,640 –> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: we’re calling this episode of Defending the Kingdom the trophy Dash.

30
00:01:39,840 –> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Now this goes Clint Bowyer is a huge Chiefs fan.

31
00:01:43,880 –> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: He just recently retired NASCAR shop and he used to

32
00:01:47,880 –> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: race dirt trek as a little kid. My dad would

33
00:01:50,400 –> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: take me to races in the Kansas Nebraska border. They’d

34
00:01:53,440 –> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: race on these three quarter mile tracks and I mean

35
00:01:56,440 –> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: it’s been thousands of dollars just beating each other up right.

36
00:01:59,600 –> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: It was like the NFL version. They would go and go,

37
00:02:02,560 –> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: I’m just all night and just race and then fighting

38
00:02:04,880 –> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the pits and all that. But he would get down

39
00:02:07,760 –> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: near the end of the night and they would have

40
00:02:10,160 –> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: the heat winners would run what they called the trophy dash.

41
00:02:13,400 –> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: There was the four fastest cars left, just like the

42
00:02:16,120 –> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: national football leagues down to four teams, and they would

43
00:02:19,200 –> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: line it up and run for the trophy. I thought,

44
00:02:22,120 –> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: do they get a whole bunch of money for this? Well, now,

45
00:02:24,160 –> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: just a little bit of trophy, but it was a

46
00:02:25,639 –> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: big deal to these guys. Now this trophy is the

47
00:02:29,080 –> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt Trophy. And you mentioned three straight AFC Championship

48
00:02:33,200 –> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: games all at Arrowhead after fifty eight years of never

49
00:02:36,240 –> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: hosting one, but the Kansas City Chiefs get a chance

50
00:02:39,680 –> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: again to play for the Lamar Hunt Trophy. What does

51
00:02:44,000 –> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: that mean? And how personal does it get for our

52
00:02:46,440 –> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: guys and our franchise to play for a trophy named

53
00:02:49,960 –> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: after our founder man. As a player, you take about

54
00:02:54,800 –> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: a season of work, a season of commitment, a season

55
00:02:58,600 –> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: of sacrifice, all the weightlifting, the practicing, being away from

56
00:03:04,160 –> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: your family and friends, doing whatever you had to do

57
00:03:06,360 –> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: as far as COVID protocol to make sure you’re available

58
00:03:09,280 –> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: to play each and every week in order to have

59
00:03:12,160 –> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: the opportunity to host playoff games. In order to have

60
00:03:16,000 –> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity to now be hosting an AFC Championshipship with

61
00:03:21,080 –> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: the trophy being the Lamar Hunt Trophy. Being able to

62
00:03:26,840 –> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: keep that trophy here in the city of his namesake,

63
00:03:31,160 –> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: one Lamar Hunt is an amazing feat. It’s something that

64
00:03:34,800 –> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, if he listened to him when he first

65
00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: was brought here to Kansas City, he said one of

66
00:03:39,680 –> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: his goals was to get that Lamar Hunt Trophy back

67
00:03:42,240 –> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: here to Kansas City and back to the Hunt family.

68
00:03:46,160 –> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: And he’s done it. And not only have we done it,

69
00:03:48,920 –> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: we’ve been able to defend that crown as af AFC

70
00:03:53,920 –> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: Championship champions but also thinking about our team, defending our

71
00:04:00,760 –> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: rights and our ability to go represent the AFC when

72
00:04:05,200 –> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: it comes to the Super Bowl, and I think that

73
00:04:07,440 –> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: is one of the we talk about checking the boxes off,

74
00:04:10,200 –> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: winning the AFC West, beating the Cleveland Browns, and now

75
00:04:15,520 –> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: having opportunities to go play and beat the Buffalo Bills

76
00:04:19,839 –> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: and give yourself a tomorrow, give yourself a chance to

77
00:04:22,920 –> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: create a tomorrow, which will be February. I think it’s

78
00:04:28,480 –> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: February to seventh this year, February seventh, twenty twenty one

79
00:04:33,240 –> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. The opportunity to fight for a back

80
00:04:36,520 –> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: to back championship, which is we know it’s it’s so

81
00:04:39,520 –> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: hard to achieve. Been sixteen years since anybody’s done it.

82
00:04:42,839 –> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: The Patriots did it in the know three oh four seasons. Okay,

83
00:04:45,800 –> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: I’m breaking out. I broke out the coat. I hung

84
00:04:47,960 –> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: it up after last year. It’s set there for fifty

85
00:04:50,040 –> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: two weeks because this is a coat. You got the

86
00:04:52,200 –> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: same coat, brother, I hung it up. That’s what I

87
00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: wore to broadcast at AFC Championship last year when I

88
00:04:58,520 –> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: said the team that Lamar Hunt found it has just

89
00:05:00,680 –> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: one Lamar Hunt’s trophy in the stadium. That was Lamar

90
00:05:03,080 –> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Hunt’s dream. Then I hung it up. I pulled it

91
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: back out for this week because here coming to Buffalo

92
00:05:08,800 –> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: Bills and playing in the AFC Championship game all right

93
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: before we dive into the Bills, and it is a

94
00:05:13,960 –> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: worthy look at these guys because it’s an outstanding team

95
00:05:16,760 –> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: coming in here Sunday. The question that you’re getting, and

96
00:05:19,800 –> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 1: I’m getting every minute of every day, is about Mahomes

97
00:05:22,279 –> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: and the Mahomes protocol. And as people win this, listen

98
00:05:25,560 –> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: to this, I mean, on this Defending the Kingdom podcast.

99
00:05:28,320 –> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: We’ll know later in the week more right after they’ve

100
00:05:30,720 –> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: heard this. And so the point is though the concussion

101
00:05:35,040 –> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: protocol I think is very important to at least look

102
00:05:38,080 –> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: at because you played the game for ten years, you

103
00:05:40,520 –> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: love the game, your family, your son played the game,

104
00:05:43,920 –> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: my son played the game. I wasn’t very good, but

105
00:05:46,240 –> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: I played it in high school and if I could

106
00:05:47,720 –> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: play it again, I would because I love the game.

107
00:05:51,040 –> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: Shop you can tell I love the game, but it’s

108
00:05:53,320 –> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: worth protecting. And several years ago the NFL put in

109
00:05:56,920 –> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: place these concussion protocols. There are no shortcuts. People wanted

110
00:06:00,880 –> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: to know on Monday at four and Tuesday at five

111
00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: and Wednesday at three. They want to know what is it?

112
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: What’s the answer? What’s Well, there’s not an answer. You

113
00:06:07,720 –> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: have to go through these uh you know, there’s labyrinth

114
00:06:11,440 –> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: of checkpoints and it’s it’s there for a purpose, and

115
00:06:14,760 –> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: it’s proven to be very effective because the concussions have

116
00:06:18,080 –> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: gone down big time in the NFL and the reoccurrence

117
00:06:22,240 –> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: of concussions have done the same. So in this concussion protocol,

118
00:06:25,640 –> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: as someone who played, as someone who has coached some

119
00:06:28,600 –> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: and someone who’s had their own life and blood play

120
00:06:31,120 –> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: the game, what about these protocols, how important they are

121
00:06:33,800 –> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: and the fact that there are no shortcuts here you’re

122
00:06:36,920 –> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: not cut to know right away. Well, I mean, one

123
00:06:41,200 –> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: of the amazing things I think I have to play

124
00:06:42,880 –> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: in the game is anyone who’s had their bill wrung,

125
00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: anybody who’s who’s stood up a little lightheaded. You understand

126
00:06:49,520 –> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: your equilibrium isn’t right, your decision making isn’t right, And

127
00:06:53,600 –> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: the last thing you do is want somebody to go

128
00:06:56,320 –> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 1: back on the field not thinking clearly, not having the

129
00:07:00,040 –> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: action time they usually have, and not being able to

130
00:07:03,960 –> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: avoid a serious injury or a big hit, just because

131
00:07:07,440 –> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: mentally you’re just not you know, you just don’t have

132
00:07:10,960 –> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: it all together yet. And so the protocol has definitely

133
00:07:14,320 –> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: been put in place to protect players from themselves. We

134
00:07:17,720 –> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: have become so ultra aggressive, ultra alpha dog mentality, super competitive.

135
00:07:25,200 –> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: There’s nothing that will keep a player off the field,

136
00:07:27,920 –> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: not even not even at his own detriment. And so

137
00:07:31,640 –> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: the fact that you know they have independent studies and

138
00:07:34,320 –> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: independent doctors, people outside of your own organization that are

139
00:07:38,120 –> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: able to note when someone is a little wildly a

140
00:07:42,480 –> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: little bit off center, pull them from the game and

141
00:07:44,800 –> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: have them go through an actual protocol, in an actual

142
00:07:48,040 –> 00:07:51,239
Speaker 1: series of tests and evaluations to make sure that players

143
00:07:51,280 –> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: help enough to return to action. That is something that

144
00:07:54,680 –> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: NFL even when I played, I mean all we had

145
00:07:57,920 –> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: was a cup of smelling salt. They put the smelling salt,

146
00:08:00,920 –> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: and once you could clearly look at the doctor and

147
00:08:04,080 –> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: he asked you to follow his finger a little bit. Hey,

148
00:08:06,840 –> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: if you could do those things, it’s back to the field,

149
00:08:08,840 –> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: you go. That has been proven not to be enough

150
00:08:11,960 –> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: time to really be able to evaluate and understand if

151
00:08:16,560 –> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: there’s an actual brain trauma or anything from a concussion standpoint. Now,

152
00:08:21,680 –> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: what Pat Mahomes has is it could be put in

153
00:08:25,040 –> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: multiple different categories. But what we do know is that

154
00:08:27,960 –> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: when we saw him get back on his seat, he

155
00:08:31,080 –> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: was having issues maintaining his equilibrium. And whether you want

156
00:08:35,080 –> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: to categorize that as a knockout or a concussion, or

157
00:08:38,720 –> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: loss of blood flow or loss of oction, whichever category

158
00:08:42,520 –> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: it is, we know that’s not the state of mind

159
00:08:45,240 –> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: you want somebody taking a snap when the other team

160
00:08:48,120 –> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 1: is coming to try to sack him. And so for

161
00:08:50,520 –> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: his benefit, for the well being of his future and

162
00:08:53,760 –> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: the future of our entire organization, it was best to

163
00:08:56,920 –> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: make that call withdraw him from action and let hen

164
00:09:00,480 –> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: he go out there and close that game out, which

165
00:09:02,640 –> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: he did in an amazing fashion. Right, So with a

166
00:09:08,360 –> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: guy who’s played the game before, and I understand the

167
00:09:11,480 –> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: necessity of protecting the brain, protecting somebody’s livelihood, to protecting

168
00:09:16,200 –> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: people from themselves. Man, we are ultra competitive and there’s

169
00:09:20,000 –> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: nothing I wouldn’t do to get back on that field.

170
00:09:22,280 –> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: And I can appreciate that the NFL has put a

171
00:09:24,800 –> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: protocol in a set of rules and regulations to prevent

172
00:09:28,160 –> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: somebody going out there and getting themselves hurt. And again,

173
00:09:31,280 –> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: the protocol is extensive. It goes through stages and including

174
00:09:36,200 –> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: just kind of easing into things europic exercise, and then

175
00:09:39,080 –> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: some non football activity, and then some football activity without contact,

176
00:09:43,160 –> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: meaning like seven on seven and throwing and running things

177
00:09:45,240 –> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: you would do in a game in this time of year,

178
00:09:47,040 –> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: you’re not in contact anyway other than the game. But

179
00:09:49,640 –> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: still then neurologists get involved. This isn’t like some trainer

180
00:09:53,320 –> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: coming up to you and giving you smelling salts when

181
00:09:55,720 –> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: you’re entering the league with the Redskins or Washington football team.

182
00:09:59,559 –> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: This is neurologists taken over. And there are people and

183
00:10:02,320 –> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: specialists that are involved in watching it because you know

184
00:10:05,440 –> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: what we’ve learned and what we’ve read. I don’t care

185
00:10:07,120 –> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: if you’re playing soccer and you’ve got a concussion via header.

186
00:10:10,640 –> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: The most damaging things are when you have a concussion

187
00:10:14,600 –> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: in close proximity. That’s when it can become very very damaging,

188
00:10:18,960 –> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: in life threatening in some instances. So that’s why these

189
00:10:22,040 –> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: protocols are in place. There’s no hurry everybody wants an answer.

190
00:10:25,360 –> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: Just slow down and just let the process work. And

191
00:10:29,080 –> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: so it’s doing what it’s supposed to do, and it’s

192
00:10:32,559 –> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: been very impactful in the National Football League. All right,

193
00:10:35,120 –> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: now that we’ve got that taken care of, let’s jump

194
00:10:37,200 –> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: into the Buffalo Bills. And looking at the Buffalo Bills,

195
00:10:40,160 –> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: I’m very impressed with these guys. They’ve only passed the

196
00:10:43,160 –> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: eye tests, they also got those stats. But what I

197
00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: see a lot are the Kansas City Chiefs. There’s a

198
00:10:48,840 –> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: lot of similarities between these teams when you look at

199
00:10:51,600 –> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: what they do and how they approach things. I’ll give

200
00:10:53,559 –> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: you one there is no team that throws it more

201
00:10:57,160 –> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: on first down then Buffalo Bills. These guys are throwing

202
00:11:01,240 –> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: it and throwing it even more so in the last

203
00:11:03,400 –> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: eight games of the season, these first two playoff games.

204
00:11:06,080 –> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: In their first seventeen or eighteen plays. They only had

205
00:11:09,440 –> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: one design run and that was I mean against the

206
00:11:11,640 –> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: Ravens in the last week’s game. So here they come.

207
00:11:14,920 –> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: They’re gonna throw it, and they’ve got some talented players

208
00:11:17,160 –> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen is turning into a stud. Well, the

209
00:11:20,360 –> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Hills understands the same thing that the Kansay Chiefs do,

210
00:11:24,360 –> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: and that is the most efficient way to get the

211
00:11:26,840 –> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: ball from end zone to the the end zone is passing

212
00:11:28,800 –> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: the ball. You can coach you one about the running game.

213
00:11:31,280 –> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: You can stay late in the season defensive football and

214
00:11:34,200 –> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: running the balls the way to win championships. That is

215
00:11:36,640 –> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: no longer the case. It hasn’t been the case for

216
00:11:38,960 –> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: a number of years now. The way the rules are set,

217
00:11:42,040 –> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: the way the rules have have have just grown to

218
00:11:44,920 –> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: be a more of a quarterback driven league. If you

219
00:11:47,760 –> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: got a guy that can sling it, and you can

220
00:11:49,880 –> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: run an offense to get the ball into the playmaker’s

221
00:11:52,240 –> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: hands as early and often as possible. When you have

222
00:11:57,520 –> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: a tremendous tide receiver group, a capable tight end, you

223
00:12:00,920 –> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: have receivers at the running back position that can actually

224
00:12:04,160 –> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: catch the ball out the backfield, and you have somebody

225
00:12:06,840 –> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position who can throw it all over

226
00:12:09,679 –> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: the fields. He can hit every the eight different zones

227
00:12:13,360 –> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: of the field and has the mobility to be able

228
00:12:17,320 –> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: to create some difficult situations for your defense. We’ve been

229
00:12:21,960 –> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: on the other side of that, We’ve faced it every

230
00:12:24,160 –> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: day in practice. We’ve seen Pat Mahomes do some amazing

231
00:12:27,760 –> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: no look passes eight yards in the airtime being able

232
00:12:31,480 –> 00:12:34,719
Speaker 1: to zip it from one hash to the other sideline.

233
00:12:35,040 –> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: When you have that type of mobility at the quarterback position,

234
00:12:38,160 –> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: it’s almost foolish not to use it as an offensive coordinator.

235
00:12:42,280 –> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 1: And that’s the one thing Deepot is doing. He’s doing

236
00:12:44,760 –> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: the same thing that the enemy is doing. They’re looking

237
00:12:47,040 –> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: at their assets and they’re realizing their greatest asset is

238
00:12:50,720 –> 00:12:53,199
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and they’re gonna put the ball in

239
00:12:53,200 –> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: his hands. Expect him to win it, Expect him to

240
00:12:55,520 –> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: get first down, first dawns touchdowns as many times as

241
00:12:58,720 –> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: possible throughout the ball game. Yeah. And Sean McDermott learned

242
00:13:02,320 –> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: from coach read He was coach a coach’s adjutant. He

243
00:13:04,840 –> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: came from like Golden and Sacks and thought, I want

244
00:13:06,880 –> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: to coach. Can I be in bold in football? Yes?

245
00:13:08,840 –> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: Start all right here, you’re gonna start the lowest end.

246
00:13:11,000 –> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: And mcdermot’s done a great job of changing culture there

247
00:13:13,480 –> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. But they’re fourth and twenty plus passes. And

248
00:13:16,440 –> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: the year that Stefan Diggs has had is very similar

249
00:13:18,840 –> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill. Here’s why shop because Diggs was thought

250
00:13:22,640 –> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: to be a nine runner, Right, I’m gonna run nines

251
00:13:24,720 –> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: and posts, That’s what I’m gonna do. Remember the Minneapolis

252
00:13:27,280 –> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: miracle and the incredible play that was all of a sudden.

253
00:13:30,679 –> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs this year is running every route and running

254
00:13:33,360 –> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: with great short range quickness, the same thing that Tyreek

255
00:13:37,320 –> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: Hill has done. He went from bitch being a cheetah

256
00:13:39,400 –> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: that can run nine routes to now be coming running

257
00:13:42,080 –> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: every route on that spots and that tree you want

258
00:13:44,160 –> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: to talk about, including the route he ran the other

259
00:13:46,440 –> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: day on fourth and one, which was just that’s it

260
00:13:49,480 –> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: and he was wide open and the Chiefs win the

261
00:13:51,040 –> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: game and move on or playing in this game. Okay,

262
00:13:54,080 –> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: So you’ve got that going for you. So let’s take

263
00:13:56,960 –> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: Diggs in and of himself. The fact that he’s not

264
00:13:59,360 –> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: just a nine out runner. This guy’s running every route

265
00:14:01,760 –> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: and his short range quickness, the Chiefs did an awesome

266
00:14:05,040 –> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: job on him in October. They did an awesome job

267
00:14:07,840 –> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: on him. Last year he played for the Minnesota Vikings.

268
00:14:09,920 –> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Here he only had one catch for four yards. That’s

269
00:14:12,280 –> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: when he was kind of fighting the Cousins thing a

270
00:14:14,280 –> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: little bit, right. But now he goes from the trade

271
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: to these guys and blossoms the NFL’s best receiver yards catches.

272
00:14:21,200 –> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: But I’m impressed with his short range quickness that makes

273
00:14:23,960 –> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: it difficult to cover. Yeah, he’s a guy that can definitely.

274
00:14:27,280 –> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: He just wants the ball in his hand. He demands it.

275
00:14:29,560 –> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: He’s running some precise routes. And what we know about

276
00:14:32,160 –> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: the offense because we see it all the time, is

277
00:14:34,760 –> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: when you’re running accurate routes and the quarterback is placing

278
00:14:37,960 –> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: the ball with accuracy and timing, those two factors create

279
00:14:42,280 –> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: yards after catch. And you talk about once that he

280
00:14:44,600 –> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: has the ball in his hands, he gets up field,

281
00:14:47,040 –> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: he makes guys miss. He’s doing a phenomenal job of

282
00:14:50,400 –> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: being one of the number one receivers in the league.

283
00:14:53,520 –> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: And you talk about the mirror image of these two teams.

284
00:14:56,680 –> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: You know, one team has a stuff on Diggs. They

285
00:14:59,360 –> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: got knocks, they got John Brown and they got Beasley

286
00:15:02,440 –> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: and then in the backfield they got Singletary. Well, that

287
00:15:04,760 –> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: looks a lot like the Tarik Hill, McCole, Hartman, Sammy Watkins,

288
00:15:10,000 –> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and c Claude Hilaire Edwards Edwards Hilaire coming

289
00:15:15,720 –> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: from the Chiefs team and they have their Alan and

290
00:15:18,720 –> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: we have our Mahomes. The only difference you think when

291
00:15:21,680 –> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: you look at these two ball teams and you’re talking

292
00:15:23,880 –> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: about the offense is going to attack, I think it

293
00:15:26,840 –> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: comes down to the playmaking, mentality and ability of the defenses.

294
00:15:32,360 –> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be a defensive ball game. This

295
00:15:36,360 –> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be one loss by the playmaking ability of

296
00:15:40,680 –> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: one of the defenses. And I believe the our Chiefs

297
00:15:42,960 –> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: defense is full of playmakers at all three levels. And

298
00:15:46,360 –> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: I don’t think the Buffalo Bill’s defense can really hold

299
00:15:49,520 –> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: the same level of of of aggression, of attitude. I

300
00:15:54,960 –> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: think that Ben don’t break, the style of of plane

301
00:15:58,360 –> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: is going to come back to bite them in the

302
00:15:59,760 –> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: button versus Arkansas City Chiefs. Yeah, let’s transition to that

303
00:16:03,720 –> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: side of the ball, because that’s what’s getting kind of

304
00:16:05,600 –> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: just drifted off here. But before we do that, I

305
00:16:08,240 –> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: mean the Bills are now best in third down conversions

306
00:16:10,800 –> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: or at the end of the regular season, and not

307
00:16:13,200 –> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: so great in the playoffs, but they’re making critical plays there.

308
00:16:16,600 –> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: Great accuracy by Alan, I mean seventy four percent against

309
00:16:19,520 –> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: the Colts in a playoff game, hitting three out of

310
00:16:21,640 –> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: every four passes. They also are good in special teams,

311
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: are best in kickoff returns because Roberts will trying to

312
00:16:27,280 –> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: hit it. But these guys are legit on offensive side,

313
00:16:30,360 –> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: now the defensive side, and when people study offensive football

314
00:16:35,680 –> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: and what football has become, and we know what it’s become,

315
00:16:37,720 –> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: relayed all levels at high school and also in college,

316
00:16:41,400 –> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: and for sure now in the NFL, I mean every

317
00:16:43,640 –> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: team left in the final four in this trophy dash,

318
00:16:46,440 –> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: I’m calling it on this defending the Kingdom. These four

319
00:16:49,280 –> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: cars left on the track that fought their way through

320
00:16:51,840 –> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: the whole long night of all these heat races are

321
00:16:54,520 –> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: on the track racing for the trophy. In the AFC,

322
00:16:56,720 –> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: in the NFC, and all four obviously four in the

323
00:17:00,600 –> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: top six in points per game, all about thirty points

324
00:17:03,480 –> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: a game. It’s the defenses that get enough plays. This

325
00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: is what I think you’re alluding to, because I study

326
00:17:09,640 –> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: the rest of the league and I go, well, what

327
00:17:10,920 –> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: defenses are winning here? They’re the ones that steal enough plays.

328
00:17:15,680 –> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills and Chiefs are similar in that regard.

329
00:17:18,320 –> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: The Bills have four non offensive touchdowns. Hey, they’re in

330
00:17:22,119 –> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: this game in my opinion because of a one hundred

331
00:17:24,920 –> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: and one yard kickoff return by Johnson. Otherwise the Ravens

332
00:17:29,640 –> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: are going in without the win right at the end

333
00:17:32,760 –> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: of the third quarter. If they tie it at ten, ten,

334
00:17:34,600 –> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens get the wind in that game, and the

335
00:17:36,800 –> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: win was a big factor. This could have been very different.

336
00:17:39,359 –> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: It was their defense that got the play that you’re

337
00:17:41,640 –> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: alluding to. That we’ve seen the Chiefs defense get time

338
00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: and time again, and week after weekend, got them all

339
00:17:46,680 –> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: over the playoffs last year. And one thing we do

340
00:17:50,240 –> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: know about their defense, led by Leslie Fraser and led

341
00:17:52,840 –> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: by Sara McDermott, it’s a familiar foe. It’s a defense

342
00:17:57,200 –> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: that I think Andy Reid and coached the enemy are

343
00:18:00,160 –> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna be so comfortable defending because they’ve gone against the

344
00:18:03,560 –> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: core of that defensive philosophy for so many years. Back

345
00:18:06,560 –> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: when Jim Johnson was training coach Spags and coach McDermott

346
00:18:11,240 –> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: and telling them about football philosophy, how important it was

347
00:18:14,480 –> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 1: to be the aggressor, to to to to contry to

348
00:18:17,400 –> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: control it from a defensive mindset, to only allow offense

349
00:18:21,240 –> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: to do what you want them to do by putting

350
00:18:24,119 –> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: pressure on the receivers, by rerouting routes, by h stacking

351
00:18:27,960 –> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: a box, putting nine in the box to make them

352
00:18:30,280 –> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: have to pass the ball, being able to rotate and

353
00:18:34,280 –> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: H and flood zones defensively bringing overload blitzers. So all

354
00:18:38,720 –> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: of these different factors that we we we’ve seen from

355
00:18:41,520 –> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: coach McDermott and coach Leslie Fraser. The true creator and

356
00:18:46,640 –> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: the true fundamental foundational creator of this defense has been

357
00:18:51,680 –> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: Jim Johnson. And so seeing that defense and being a

358
00:18:54,960 –> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: part of that organization when I was with the Eagles

359
00:18:58,119 –> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid, um, I know so many familiar aspects

360
00:19:04,880 –> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: of it that I think that offensively, when you know

361
00:19:07,800 –> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: what you’re gonna see and you know some of the

362
00:19:10,920 –> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: fundamentals the philosophies of that defense, it’s gonna be a

363
00:19:14,640 –> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: little bit like what we call it, um just plucking

364
00:19:21,720 –> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: a little pitch and shoot a little seven on seven,

365
00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: a little um, just just taking what the defense gonna

366
00:19:26,840 –> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: give you. Go on and move down the field, and

367
00:19:29,400 –> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: that defense when it gets inside the fifteen or twenty

368
00:19:32,720 –> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: yard line, that’s when they boat their back. That’s when

369
00:19:35,520 –> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: they their backs against the wall and they put playmakers

370
00:19:39,320 –> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: in position not to only knock a ball down, but

371
00:19:41,920 –> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: to turn it over, to get a big sack, to

372
00:19:44,200 –> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: do something that’s gonna turn that momentum. They want to

373
00:19:46,880 –> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: keep you just snapping the ball. Between the twenties, snap

374
00:19:50,560 –> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: the ball, you execute your play. You have to catch it,

375
00:19:53,840 –> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: you have to complete the first down. But once they

376
00:19:56,160 –> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: get to that goal zone, that green zone, that red zone,

377
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 1: whatever you call it, the defense hasn’t been known to

378
00:20:03,320 –> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: bend their backs, and they get real stingy, and they

379
00:20:06,440 –> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: get real opportunistic, and that’s when they look to make

380
00:20:09,359 –> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: big plays. They don’t take a risk between the twenties,

381
00:20:11,760 –> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: but definitely when you get to the inside that goals on,

382
00:20:15,840 –> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: that’s when you’re gonna see the defense try to make

383
00:20:18,200 –> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: a big play on both sides of the ball. And

384
00:20:20,520 –> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: I think when we look at it and we really

385
00:20:23,040 –> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: be honest with ourselves and go just level by level,

386
00:20:26,320 –> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: we have more playmakers on our deepen side of the

387
00:20:28,840 –> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: ball than the Buffalo Bills. I would concur and let

388
00:20:31,600 –> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: me put this out there for those who are listening

389
00:20:33,440 –> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: and watching, Chris Jones has had a way better year

390
00:20:36,400 –> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: than people think. I’m super proud of the dude because

391
00:20:39,040 –> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: he doesn’t hasn’t pile up sack, so it’s our sack nation.

392
00:20:42,320 –> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: He’s fifth in the NFL in quarterback hurriage and pressures.

393
00:20:45,960 –> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: Go back, folks, if you’re listening and watching, and go

394
00:20:48,800 –> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: back and watch the Cleveland game. After the Browns picked

395
00:20:51,480 –> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: up a first down at the thirty one yard line,

396
00:20:53,480 –> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: they need to touchdown to win it. On first down,

397
00:20:56,680 –> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 1: they get a play that’s out the gate. The honey

398
00:20:58,400 –> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: Badger gets declared by that any seven dude, treder whatever

399
00:21:02,280 –> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden are a teller. But Chris

400
00:21:05,359 –> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Jones was able to get penetration and basically get a

401
00:21:07,840 –> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: hand on the belt of Chubb that slowed him down

402
00:21:11,560 –> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: enough that Hitchin shows up and they swallow him for

403
00:21:14,600 –> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 1: a yard. It’s the cool thing liked up because Tyron

404
00:21:17,720 –> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: Matthew gets decleted. Right, he’s sent it and he jumps

405
00:21:20,280 –> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: up and goes it’s minus one. It’s an run one.

406
00:21:23,280 –> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: So that’s a play that does. It’s not a pick.

407
00:21:25,560 –> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: It’s not a scoop and score, but an enormous play

408
00:21:28,359 –> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: because that thing was ready to go at the gate

409
00:21:30,720 –> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: for about fifteen yards. Then Chris Jones’s pressure on third

410
00:21:34,200 –> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: down causes a little bit of an errant throw by

411
00:21:37,040 –> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: Mayfield that’s juggled by Kareem Hunt and allows Tavarius Award

412
00:21:40,520 –> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: he’s dropping into coverage to make the reaction and tackle him.

413
00:21:43,840 –> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: That’s what this Chiefs team has done. I went back

414
00:21:45,800 –> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: and looked at Buffalo. They’re averaging about nine or ten

415
00:21:48,000 –> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: possessions a game. If you take the two the two

416
00:21:51,880 –> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: playoff games, and then the game we played against him

417
00:21:54,240 –> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: on October, it’s right around nine or ten possessions. Shop.

418
00:21:57,760 –> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: If you can steal one of those possessions, either the

419
00:22:00,240 –> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: takeaway or a three and out, it becomes magnified. In

420
00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: this trophy dash we’re talking about, you have time management,

421
00:22:07,960 –> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: controlling the possessions, understanding how important a turnover and in

422
00:22:12,880 –> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: stealing a possession can be in this ball game. Because

423
00:22:15,720 –> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: you’re dealing with so two ball hands that are so

424
00:22:19,760 –> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: high powered they don’t need much time to score. You

425
00:22:22,440 –> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: give either one of these quarterbacks ninety seconds in the

426
00:22:25,680 –> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: time out. You are thinking score a touchdown. It’s not

427
00:22:28,640 –> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: just a field goal. Both of these offenses can go

428
00:22:31,560 –> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: vertically so quickly, and they put so much pressure on

429
00:22:35,080 –> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: a defense to cover all fifty three in the third yards,

430
00:22:38,520 –> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: cross the field and then all one hundred and twenty

431
00:22:40,800 –> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: yards vertically. So you gotta go from end zone the

432
00:22:43,640 –> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: end zone, sideline and sideline. Everybody has to be communication.

433
00:22:48,000 –> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: It’s going to be at an all time priority. You

434
00:22:49,760 –> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: gotta be on a high level of communication and a

435
00:22:51,880 –> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: highlight bol of trust. And I truly think, I truly

436
00:22:55,240 –> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: think then when it comes down to it, it’s gonna

437
00:22:57,800 –> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: be the plays made on the d defensive side of

438
00:23:00,800 –> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: the ball, because I think both offenses going to cancel

439
00:23:03,359 –> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: each other out as far as big plays, scoring opportunities,

440
00:23:07,240 –> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, field goals, special teams, all of those things

441
00:23:09,600 –> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: gonna cancel themselves out. It’s gonna be a big play,

442
00:23:12,720 –> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: whether it’s a sack by Chris Jones, Frank Clark, sac

443
00:23:16,320 –> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: bat Lagerias Sneed, or interception about Honey Badger or Juan

444
00:23:20,119 –> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: Thornhill or Sorenson. It’s just over and over again, we’ve

445
00:23:24,600 –> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: seen our defense arrise to the occasion, whereas the Buffalo

446
00:23:29,200 –> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: Bills defense seems to They wait for a giveaway. They

447
00:23:33,000 –> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: don’t take it away. They wait for you to make

448
00:23:35,040 –> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: a mistake and give him the ball. And I think

449
00:23:37,119 –> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: our offense is gonna be on their ps and ques.

450
00:23:39,680 –> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: They’re gonna cross their teas and dot their eyes, and

451
00:23:42,119 –> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: we’re gonna be seeing one of the best football games

452
00:23:44,359 –> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: we’ve seen in this two twenty twenty one season. I’m

453
00:23:49,040 –> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: with you, and actually plays like Frank Clark playing the

454
00:23:51,560 –> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: screen game. It was great there on that on that

455
00:23:54,240 –> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: to get to Cleveland off the field after one first

456
00:23:56,880 –> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: down to set up the Henny heroics. But those defense

457
00:24:00,480 –> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: will rise the other one. And I haven’t heard this

458
00:24:02,160 –> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 1: state a lot, but Doug dug into it some. And

459
00:24:05,000 –> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: I love Josh Allen. I think he’s a stud And

460
00:24:07,440 –> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: if you study him, he has been much like you.

461
00:24:10,600 –> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: And the fact that wasn’t highly recruited. Fresno’s forty five

462
00:24:14,480 –> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: miles from He grew up in like a farming community

463
00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: and nobody wanted to recruit him, Like his coach was

464
00:24:18,720 –> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: just sending out stuff to like thousands of schools and

465
00:24:20,880 –> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: nobody wanted him. And then finally Wyoming said, and he

466
00:24:23,560 –> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: went to Juco for a year, and Wyoming said, yeah, well,

467
00:24:26,520 –> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: I guess we won’t to offer him, but we’ll take him,

468
00:24:28,640 –> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: and he turns into this kid, Bye bye bye. I

469
00:24:31,119 –> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: have great regard for him. He’s been accurate in a

470
00:24:33,400 –> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: stud but eleven fumbles, he’s lost six. Only Derek Carr

471
00:24:40,480 –> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: lost more fumbles this year, this year, this year than

472
00:24:44,480 –> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: Josh Allen didn’t lose any against the Chiefs in October,

473
00:24:48,840 –> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: against the Colts, he fumbled, but he recovered it. Against

474
00:24:52,560 –> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens, he fumbled, but he recovered it. Love this kid,

475
00:24:57,400 –> 00:24:59,679
Speaker 1: think he’s really good. What I think it is a

476
00:25:00,440 –> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: but you steal a possession, you take one of those

477
00:25:03,560 –> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: ten possessions if you can hack it out somewhere. Because

478
00:25:07,280 –> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has fumbled eleven times and lost six of

479
00:25:11,160 –> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: those rascals, and that becomes enough of a thread here

480
00:25:15,080 –> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: to flip a game like this and you hand the

481
00:25:17,440 –> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt Trophy to the team that Lamar Hunt founded. Man,

482
00:25:20,440 –> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 1: you called it a trophy dash for a reason. It’s

483
00:25:23,200 –> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: not about the marathon anymore. The season, the regular season’s over,

484
00:25:28,240 –> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: We’ve we’ve all random marathon, we’ve all rested up. Now

485
00:25:32,520 –> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: it’s gonna come down to a sixty minute dash. Four quarters.

486
00:25:37,240 –> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: It’s nothing to hold back for. It’s no tomorrow. You

487
00:25:40,160 –> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: got to create you but tomorrow, and that’s gonna be

488
00:25:42,600 –> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: a full on sprint, a four quarter sprint of high,

489
00:25:46,640 –> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: high intensity football. Man, I cannot wait to see this

490
00:25:50,080 –> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: AFC Championship game on Sunday. Man, it’s gonna be plays made,

491
00:25:53,880 –> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: it’s gonna be memory. History will be made on Sunday

492
00:25:57,480 –> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead Stadium. Those asist from seven to nine. That

493
00:26:01,840 –> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: was the marathon. Those were dirts flying, you know, they’re

494
00:26:05,000 –> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: cussing at each other. There would be the bad guy

495
00:26:07,040 –> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: car with the skull and crossbones and everybody had button

496
00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: and then there’d be the good you know, the good guy.

497
00:26:11,800 –> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: And then they got to the trophy dash and it

498
00:26:15,160 –> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: was on, baby, And that’s what we’ve got shop. It

499
00:26:18,359 –> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: is now the trophy Dash for the third consecutive year

500
00:26:20,800 –> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs, setting an AFC record, will

501
00:26:24,000 –> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: host this game. So here we go, one final comment

502
00:26:28,080 –> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: before we jump right in and let her fly, baby,

503
00:26:30,320 –> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: because I’m with you. I think this will be a classic. Yeah, man, well,

504
00:26:33,680 –> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: I know one thing. The guy who I know will

505
00:26:35,480 –> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: be ready is the Honey Badger. I’ve seen him at

506
00:26:38,840 –> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 1: an aut He played the best game since he’s been

507
00:26:42,440 –> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: here in Kansas City last week against the Browns, flying

508
00:26:45,200 –> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: across the field, calling out plays, calling out offensive sets

509
00:26:49,200 –> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: before they’d even ran it. He was a motivator, instigator,

510
00:26:53,320 –> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: he was a leader, and as far as mindset mentality,

511
00:26:56,680 –> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: being physical, making the big play coming out of halftime

512
00:26:59,640 –> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: to begin a third quarter the right way. So I’m

513
00:27:02,040 –> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: looking forward to that young man leading this not only

514
00:27:04,400 –> 00:27:07,199
Speaker 1: the defense, but this team out of that tunnel and

515
00:27:07,359 –> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: doing what needs to be done to get a win.

516
00:27:09,400 –> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: On Sunday, I thought the two week rest was huge

517
00:27:12,720 –> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: for him. He came out looking like he was a

518
00:27:14,960 –> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: freshman at LSU. He was running around, even though he

519
00:27:17,920 –> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: got decleted on that one play. I loved his energy

520
00:27:21,640 –> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: because that’s the honey badger we know and love. So

521
00:27:23,840 –> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: maybe coming around turn three, hey, the checkered flags out

522
00:27:26,680 –> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: on this trophy dash. Is that the thirty two cars,

523
00:27:29,560 –> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: at the fifteen cars, at the eighty seven cars, that

524
00:27:32,040 –> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: the fifty nine car. Maybe that’s the old shop car

525
00:27:35,440 –> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: that’s coming around out of the shop taking the checkered

526
00:27:37,880 –> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: flag around the track at Richmond Motor Speedway. Anyway, here

527
00:27:41,600 –> 00:27:43,760
