38
00:02:10,440 –> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: shows where guys, you’re going to have on Super Bowl

39
00:02:12,440 –> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: fifty five. But this one, I’m we’re talking about being

40
00:02:16,040 –> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: big Red Ready. I think there’s a lot of things

41
00:02:18,760 –> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: we can look at. Tom Brady’s going after a seventh championship,

42
00:02:21,800 –> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a tenth Super Bowl he’s involved in. But to me,

43
00:02:25,639 –> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: the biggest advantage for the chief So then having Patrick

44
00:02:28,200 –> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes is Andy Read big Red seventeen postseason wins, fourth

45
00:02:34,639 –> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: all time in NFL history. Shop and when you look

46
00:02:38,120 –> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: at the three ahead of him, Shula, Landry Belichick, that’s it.

47
00:02:42,960 –> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Next is Andy Read phenomenal postseason coach. We’re gonna get

48
00:02:47,240 –> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: into why here, But your overall thoughts on the Chiefs

49
00:02:51,160 –> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: being big Red ready man, just understanding the method behind

50
00:02:55,360 –> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: the madness some people, every decision isn’t always with the

51
00:03:00,240 –> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: goal of winning a Super Bowl. Sometimes you have to

52
00:03:03,040 –> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: make decisions and you have to make some crucial decisions

53
00:03:07,160 –> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: internally about the direction and the path of your organization.

54
00:03:10,760 –> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Understanding that the process is greater than the product, and

55
00:03:14,040 –> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: that every single day, every moment, you have a chance

56
00:03:18,280 –> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: to get your team just that much better. You have

57
00:03:20,720 –> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: to take advantage of it and setting that environment, that

58
00:03:23,720 –> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: learning environment for coaches and coordinators and players in the

59
00:03:27,760 –> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: in the in the presence of COVID and protocol and

60
00:03:31,080 –> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: all the things. It was so much pressure on the

61
00:03:33,560 –> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: head coach to make sure that the ship was in

62
00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: the right direction, that the vision was still clear, that

63
00:03:39,200 –> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: everyone in the organization was on the same page and

64
00:03:42,120 –> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: understood what kind of sacrifice it was going to take

65
00:03:45,160 –> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: to get back to an AFC championship game, to get

66
00:03:47,760 –> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: back to Tampa Bay, to have the chance to run

67
00:03:50,040 –> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: it back. Andy Reid accepted the challenge and he led

68
00:03:53,440 –> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: this team in a bold and a brave manner. And

69
00:03:56,800 –> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: we’re gonna go into that in depth in this episode.

70
00:04:00,200 –> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: Let’s take that thought overall, we get into the first

71
00:04:02,880 –> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: of our three, Big Red, and the first one is

72
00:04:06,560 –> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: Big Red is a farmer. Now, let me give the

73
00:04:09,480 –> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: history lesson for everybody watching and listening, and I’m going

74
00:04:13,960 –> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: to challenge you take Nico maybe the family on a

75
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: road trip to western Kansas because after the Civil War

76
00:04:20,320 –> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: there were freed slaves that were looking, now, what do

77
00:04:23,279 –> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: we do? And on many of the northern states, I’m

78
00:04:25,839 –> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest here, we’re not opening the doors

79
00:04:28,720 –> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: to give opportunities to those freed slaves. The state of

80
00:04:32,160 –> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: Kansas did. In fact, there’s a place that should be

81
00:04:35,200 –> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: on the bucket list to visit the Chief’s Kingdom. It’s Nicodemus, Kansas,

82
00:04:39,160 –> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: Graham County, Kansas, about an hour and a half from

83
00:04:41,800 –> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: where I grew up. That was and it’s a National

84
00:04:45,640 –> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: Register of Historic Places. There were black families, freed slaves,

85
00:04:48,760 –> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: given the opportunity with one hundred and sixty acres to say,

86
00:04:52,000 –> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: now you can make a life. They were farmers. They

87
00:04:56,160 –> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: some of the greatest families I’ve been around are from

88
00:05:00,120 –> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: that group. Clark’s, Alexander’s, Sweitzer’s. There’s a Rodney Brogden as

89
00:05:06,839 –> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: a leader in our community in Kansas City. He is

90
00:05:10,400 –> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 1: from that lineage. Incredible people became leaders, but they were farmers.

91
00:05:16,400 –> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: The work was never done, but they got it. They

92
00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: got life, and they approached it the way Andy Reid

93
00:05:22,839 –> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: approaches coaching this team. I grew up on a farm

94
00:05:25,480 –> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: farmer two miles away, worked all the time, crabby, grouchy,

95
00:05:29,560 –> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: nothing’s ever good enough. To the other way about two

96
00:05:33,080 –> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: or three miles was always looking at doing the cutting

97
00:05:36,160 –> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: edge thing, checking, always doing something different, What can I

98
00:05:38,880 –> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: do different? Still deal with all of the issues of farmer,

99
00:05:41,520 –> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: whether mark it’s just a tough life, never work, never ends,

100
00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: but it’s how you approach it. When you gave your

101
00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: analysis of Andy Reid to me, that’s Andy Reid the

102
00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: farmer man. What a farmer has to do is understand

103
00:05:56,040 –> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: the soil, understanding the field, what he has to work with,

104
00:06:00,120 –> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: understanding the nutrients, values of making an environment from the

105
00:06:03,880 –> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: beginning of training camp to the end of the season

106
00:06:06,279 –> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: for every player to maximize their skill and ability, to

107
00:06:09,880 –> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: be able to potentially become a greater player, understanding their

108
00:06:13,360 –> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: position to a level where they collectively become a better offense, defense,

109
00:06:17,880 –> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: special teams player. And as a farmer, you have to

110
00:06:20,720 –> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: know the soil. You have to know the nutrients, the

111
00:06:23,200 –> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: nitrogen levels, all the different things that matter to allow

112
00:06:26,880 –> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: that seed. That seed has so much potential, but if

113
00:06:30,440 –> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: it’s not put in the right soil, given the right

114
00:06:32,760 –> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: amount of water, nurture, shade, sun if it isn’t given

115
00:06:37,680 –> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: the right tools, which Andy Reid is a master at.

116
00:06:40,920 –> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: He knows how to push in pool, he knows when

117
00:06:43,120 –> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: to motivate, He knows in the back off the team,

118
00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: he has his thumb on the temperature and understands the mood,

119
00:06:49,040 –> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: the attitude of the entire team. To get the most potential,

120
00:06:53,240 –> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: the most performance, to get them to perform at the

121
00:06:55,680 –> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: highest level possible each and every Sunday during the year.

122
00:07:00,080 –> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: That is why he is the farmer. And he’s always

123
00:07:03,680 –> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: doing something with a new wrinkle, looking, always researching and developing.

124
00:07:08,800 –> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: And let’s take that first. That even the shovel passed

125
00:07:12,160 –> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: to Kelsey and against Buffalo in the AFC Championship game.

126
00:07:15,080 –> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: I mentioned on the air, that’s a new wrinkle. They

127
00:07:16,760 –> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: blocked it different, they made it look different. They’re not

128
00:07:20,040 –> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: setting her here’s a tendency shovel. No, it’s something entirely different.

129
00:07:23,160 –> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: And he’s always looking for that. I mean, going into

130
00:07:26,160 –> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five. I know we just played Tampa

131
00:07:29,000 –> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: at the end of November and the Buccaneers are thinking

132
00:07:31,000 –> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: they can do this in this but shop in eight years.

133
00:07:33,520 –> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: I can’t tell you down a distance or personnel what

134
00:07:36,280 –> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: he’s gonna do. I can’t tell. And I do this,

135
00:07:38,960 –> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: I’m broadcasting this team. He’s always looking for cutting edge

136
00:07:42,760 –> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: stuff and he’s going down to Tampa with two satchels

137
00:07:46,200 –> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: full of stuff, and much of it he hasn’t even

138
00:07:48,440 –> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: shown yet. It’s because it’s the seeds. It’s all He’s planted,

139
00:07:53,280 –> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: these seeds and it’s gonna be time at Super Bowl

140
00:07:56,600 –> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: fifty five to harvest. He’s going to harvest all these

141
00:07:59,440 –> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: different plays and all these different formations and shifts that

142
00:08:02,840 –> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: he’s been planning these seeds all season long. And as

143
00:08:05,840 –> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, you’re looking. You have no idea what, where,

144
00:08:10,280 –> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: how he’s going to attack you, what he’s going to emphasize,

145
00:08:13,560 –> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: what’s going to be the set. And he has such

146
00:08:16,280 –> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: an extensive playbook of plays ways and the skill level players,

147
00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: the amount of players, the Pringle, the Dee Robinson, the

148
00:08:26,680 –> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: Miko Harman, the Cheetah, the Zeus, the Cloud of Lair,

149
00:08:31,320 –> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Levion Bell Williams. I mean that’s eight d that’s eight

150
00:08:35,360 –> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: different players that can attack you at different places. And

151
00:08:37,800 –> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: I don’t think even named Sammy Watkins. Eight or nine

152
00:08:41,040 –> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: different players that all can be game breakers, all can

153
00:08:44,080 –> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: break your back in some form fashion on Super Bowl Sunday,

154
00:08:48,920 –> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: and you have no idea which of those nine players

155
00:08:51,440 –> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: he’s gonna use to attack you. I want to ask you,

156
00:08:54,559 –> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: let’s put you on the other side of this for

157
00:08:56,080 –> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: a second, because you played linebacker in this league. When

158
00:08:58,640 –> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: I went back, I’ve watched these videos of these games.

159
00:09:01,400 –> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo’s got good linebackers. The Edmunds kids really good. We

160
00:09:04,200 –> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: know about Matt Milano. I like Cleveland’s son, Taki Takie.

161
00:09:07,880 –> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: I like him. Dude. How much pressure is there on

162
00:09:10,600 –> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: these guys? I watch them in their heads spinning and

163
00:09:12,480 –> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: they’re looking and they’re I mean, it is so hard

164
00:09:15,160 –> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: to play the Chiefs if you’re a linebacker, is it not?

165
00:09:18,480 –> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: Eighty percent of the snaps shifts and motions, that’s all

166
00:09:21,200 –> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: you gotta say? Eighty every other snap you’re seeing tight right, No,

167
00:09:25,800 –> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: it’s tight left shift motion, Hey, passing strength going with Cheetah,

168
00:09:29,559 –> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: the back end is going to rotate. Well, if it’s

169
00:09:32,480 –> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: nat Cheetah and it’s Micole Hartman, are we still rotating?

170
00:09:36,440 –> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: Are we going? Man? Are we gonna bump and end

171
00:09:38,800 –> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: up having a safety or a linebacker on Mcole Hartman?

172
00:09:41,320 –> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: Or do we just totally take those guys out there

173
00:09:44,960 –> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: the board? Do we do we lock up? Or do

174
00:09:47,120 –> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: we play banjo in it? So many different techniques you

175
00:09:50,559 –> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: have to work out, and the whole thing is the disguise,

176
00:09:56,200 –> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: the way we shift in motion. It puts so much pressure,

177
00:09:59,080 –> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: like you say, on the signal callers, on those defensive

178
00:10:02,800 –> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: linebackers because at the beginning of the play. As a linebacker,

179
00:10:06,320 –> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: you have a home gap. I’m an a gap or

180
00:10:08,679 –> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: B gap linebacker. I’m sitting in my gap when you shift, well,

181
00:10:12,800 –> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: now we have to move the front. That puts me

182
00:10:15,080 –> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: in a different gap. You go motion. Now we got

183
00:10:17,679 –> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: a bump. It puts me in a different gap. Every

184
00:10:20,000 –> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: time I moved to a different gap, my eyes are

185
00:10:23,400 –> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: on different targets. So I’ve gone from being targeted on

186
00:10:26,320 –> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: the center, now to the guard, now back to the center,

187
00:10:29,679 –> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: now on the back and quarterback, all before the ball

188
00:10:32,280 –> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: is even snapped. And I still have to figure out

189
00:10:34,760 –> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: the blocking scheme and then actually go make a tackle

190
00:10:37,960 –> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: on a very elusive running back. This is it’s almost

191
00:10:42,480 –> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: it’s just so. The nuances of this offense puts defensive

192
00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: linebackers in such a stressful position. Man, I can’t believe

193
00:10:50,800 –> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: the guys aren’t growing gray hairs during the game, trying

194
00:10:53,880 –> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: to prepare and execute when it comes and facing the

195
00:10:56,679 –> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: Chief’s offense. And then these guys get frustrated and they

196
00:10:59,640 –> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: just lose it. Like I’ve seen it in the fourth quarter.

197
00:11:01,440 –> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: They’re just so flipped out, like they like, I guess

198
00:11:04,000 –> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: I’ll just start punching dudes. I mean it’s it’s really

199
00:11:06,320 –> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: crazy to see it, all right. Andy Reid actually addressed

200
00:11:09,800 –> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: this earlier in the week, and he made an analogy

201
00:11:14,200 –> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: of the work in the National Football League and for

202
00:11:16,440 –> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: players is very much like the work of a farmer. Listen,

203
00:11:22,280 –> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: I mean we got room to get better. I mean

204
00:11:25,720 –> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: we can improve. We had a couple of things that

205
00:11:29,040 –> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: went a little hey wacky today, but we stayed on

206
00:11:31,760 –> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: course and we did a lot of good things. So

207
00:11:34,000 –> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: we did more good things and bad things. But this

208
00:11:37,000 –> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: is this job is a little bit like and I’m

209
00:11:39,520 –> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: talking about players and coaches like being a farmer, and

210
00:11:41,840 –> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: the work’s never done. You can always work to get

211
00:11:44,040 –> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: better and as a as a team. So that’s what

212
00:11:47,920 –> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: we’re going to do here. The next couple of weeks.

213
00:11:49,600 –> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: We’re playing a heck of a heck of a football

214
00:11:51,960 –> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: team in the Buccaneers. So there you go. In another

215
00:11:55,880 –> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: part of Big Red the Farmer, it segues into our

216
00:11:59,160 –> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: next portion is he never blinks or flinches. I remember

217
00:12:02,480 –> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: having the biggest, best crop, thinking this is going to

218
00:12:04,720 –> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: be awesome, and a hailstorm wipes it out by five

219
00:12:07,320 –> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: o’clock and you’re just sitting there staring at it, like

220
00:12:09,280 –> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: what just happened, and my dad was awesome. It looks

221
00:12:12,440 –> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: like you’re dad, but it was like, just don’t break,

222
00:12:14,920 –> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: don’t blink, don’t flinch, like those great families in Nicodemus

223
00:12:17,760 –> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: in Graham County that were given an opportunity as freed

224
00:12:21,559 –> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: black men and women to farm and to flourish. And

225
00:12:23,760 –> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: they did, but it was never easy. But anyway, they

226
00:12:28,320 –> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: still have a celebration out there. I’m going to hit

227
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: one of these days in Nicodemus, Kansa. Let’s make sure

228
00:12:33,080 –> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: you go there, all right. Second part, Big Red the Father?

229
00:12:36,480 –> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: Why do the Chiefs have a chance, a great chance

230
00:12:38,240 –> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: to win Super Bowl fifty five. We know about the

231
00:12:40,040 –> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: talent on this team, but to me, Big Red ready

232
00:12:43,840 –> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: is the biggest reason, and Big Red the Father comes

233
00:12:47,840 –> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: into play here. You and I have talked about this

234
00:12:50,360 –> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: for months and months and months. We keep bringing it up.

235
00:12:52,920 –> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: One of the most watched episodes was winning three Divisions.

236
00:12:56,440 –> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: If people are like, what’s what are they talking about?

237
00:12:58,440 –> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: But we said, winning the a C West, winning the

238
00:13:01,160 –> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: AFC to get to buy and then also the COVID Division.

239
00:13:05,320 –> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: But the discipline that’s been required this year shop has

240
00:13:08,880 –> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: been off the chart. It has been if they don’t

241
00:13:12,679 –> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: have it, We’re not here right now. And Andy Reid

242
00:13:15,240 –> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: has had to be the father, the loving father, but

243
00:13:17,960 –> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: has a discipline set up where he loves his kids,

244
00:13:21,920 –> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: but stay within our discipline and boundaries otherwise this train

245
00:13:26,080 –> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: could wreck. Yeah, I think is every parent can kind

246
00:13:29,240 –> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: of relate to in the face of turmoil, in the

247
00:13:32,480 –> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: face of um you know, things not going according to plan,

248
00:13:36,280 –> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: how you planned and how you expected to go into

249
00:13:38,400 –> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: and especially in this pandemic era, things are you know,

250
00:13:41,880 –> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: you get you get a COVID positive at school, one

251
00:13:44,920 –> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: of your sons or daughters at basketball, at practice, a

252
00:13:48,400 –> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: friend ends up positive and now the whole family has

253
00:13:50,960 –> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: to shut down. What does that do about your travel,

254
00:13:53,720 –> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 1: other plans, It changes, everything gets flipped up. Remaining flexible,

255
00:13:58,760 –> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: but also having an enough perseverance, enough trust, enough understanding

256
00:14:03,679 –> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: and belief and believe in the direction you’re going as

257
00:14:06,640 –> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: a family, as a team, as an organization that everybody

258
00:14:10,640 –> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: understands the price of sacrifice. You’re sacrificing your freedom, You’re

259
00:14:15,559 –> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: sacrificing your ability to go out with everybody else, enjoy

260
00:14:18,840 –> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: yourself with your friends, because we have to remain as

261
00:14:21,560 –> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: a team COVID free to give us the best opportunity

262
00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: to perform on Sunday each and every week. We can’t

263
00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: go out to the normal state restaurants and have fun.

264
00:14:30,520 –> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: We can’t go out and enjoy Christmas, Thanksgiving, how many?

265
00:14:34,880 –> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: How many family holidays? This team sacrifice not being around

266
00:14:38,360 –> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 1: their loved ones in order for them to be here

267
00:14:41,200 –> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: at this moment, at this time, with as many opportunities

268
00:14:44,680 –> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: they had to stay COVID free, healthy and being able

269
00:14:48,640 –> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: to go play and challenge the now Tampa Bay Buccaneers

270
00:14:53,040 –> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: for a world champion. This team has remained dedicated to

271
00:14:56,840 –> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: a process, to a cause which everybody he agreed at

272
00:15:01,080 –> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: day one, we’re all want to sacrifice, can take whatever

273
00:15:04,720 –> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: means necessary to be as prepared, but each moment of

274
00:15:08,680 –> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: every game, in every situation. And Andy Reid has done

275
00:15:11,760 –> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: a great job being that fatherly figure that understands how,

276
00:15:16,960 –> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: when and why and what to expect of his entire organization.

277
00:15:22,280 –> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: I think it was it was a guy named Josh

278
00:15:23,840 –> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 1: McDowell that said one’s truth without relationship leads to rebellion.

279
00:15:28,080 –> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: And Andy Reid has been and we know this how

280
00:15:31,320 –> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: he builds relationships. He talks about you have to be

281
00:15:33,720 –> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: he and I’ve talked about this personally, he talks about

282
00:15:35,520 –> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: it publicly. You’ve got to be truthful. You’ve got to

283
00:15:38,400 –> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: be upfront with guys coaches down the line. You can’t

284
00:15:41,680 –> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: You’ve just got to be there, and that helps him

285
00:15:43,600 –> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: build a relationship. So to your point, the truth without

286
00:15:47,000 –> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: relationship leads to rebellion. Guys have had to stay discipline.

287
00:15:50,120 –> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: But here’s what’s interesting, and what I’ve noticed about this

288
00:15:52,320 –> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: team is that that it’s almost created an additional bond

289
00:15:58,400 –> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: that would not be there normal. Last year, I mentioned

290
00:16:02,120 –> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: several times that the team won Super Bowl fifty four

291
00:16:04,960 –> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: because they were incredibly hyper focused. They had a great

292
00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: team working, unselfishness, and they’re resilient. This twenty twenty team

293
00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: has all of those same attributes, plus being disciplined in

294
00:16:15,960 –> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: the COVID environment. And have you sense it’s almost created

295
00:16:20,000 –> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: this additional link to brotherhood among this team, and Andy

296
00:16:23,920 –> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: Reid is manifested that. And that’s what I think they’re

297
00:16:26,520 –> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: taking there. I mean, maybe Tampa Bay’s got it, but

298
00:16:28,920 –> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: I know Kansas City’s got But we know we have

299
00:16:32,000 –> 00:16:34,479
Speaker 1: here in Kansas City. And you talk about the resilience

300
00:16:34,480 –> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: of a team to work together and to become even closer.

301
00:16:37,840 –> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: If there’s any example about that, it’s on the field.

302
00:16:40,840 –> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: When you look at our defense. Defense throughout the year,

303
00:16:44,520 –> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: committed to a process, committed to learning. Each week, we’re

304
00:16:48,560 –> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna we’re gonna focus on a different phase of this defense.

305
00:16:51,000 –> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: We’re not gonna worry about the national media. We’re not

306
00:16:53,240 –> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: gonna worry about the rankings. Statistically where we are thirty

307
00:16:57,400 –> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: second in the rand zone. Okay, you can’t win in

308
00:17:00,160 –> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs against a good team being thirty second in

309
00:17:02,120 –> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: the red zone. When you’re about to face the Browns

310
00:17:04,600 –> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: that are number three or the Bills that are number one,

311
00:17:07,040 –> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: it doesn’t match up. That’s gonna be a weakness. They’re

312
00:17:09,160 –> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: gonna be exploited. None of that matters because during the year,

313
00:17:13,560 –> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: this defense works on a different phase, a different page,

314
00:17:17,600 –> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: a different technique each and every week, so that when

315
00:17:20,840 –> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: the end of the season come along, they can put

316
00:17:23,080 –> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: all those pieces together, and then when it’s time for

317
00:17:25,880 –> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: them to perform like a top or the top defense

318
00:17:29,480 –> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: in the league, they’re able to shut down any and

319
00:17:32,240 –> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: every opponent’s offense that steps up on that given day.

320
00:17:36,440 –> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 1: And that’s something I think that Bard’s head last year

321
00:17:39,480 –> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: after week twelve after that Titans game, and this year

322
00:17:42,840 –> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs after having a week off to

323
00:17:45,480 –> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: put all of these pieces together. Our defense that everybody

324
00:17:48,760 –> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: says was ranked thirty second in the league in the

325
00:17:50,960 –> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: red zone. You talk about how many opportunities the Bill’s hand,

326
00:17:54,320 –> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: I think nine opportunities in the red zone come away

327
00:17:57,040 –> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: with six points. That is not the thirty second team

328
00:18:00,240 –> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: by far. That is a team playing off of what

329
00:18:02,960 –> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: they know they have. And that’s comes from Andy Reid

330
00:18:06,200 –> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: as a father. Allowing that team to go through some struggles.

331
00:18:09,920 –> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: Don’t allow them to abandon the process and just well,

332
00:18:13,600 –> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: let’s win this week. Let’s do what we gotta do.

333
00:18:15,480 –> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: Let’s give a B and C go to Z and

334
00:18:17,560 –> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: just abandon what we’re doing so we can win this week.

335
00:18:20,600 –> 00:18:23,680
Speaker 1: Stick to the process. The process is always grant greater

336
00:18:23,720 –> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: than any one product, any one week. And we saw

337
00:18:28,080 –> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: that too with the situation with McCole Hardman. He must

338
00:18:33,440 –> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: upon at the three. Now, my dad would grid his

339
00:18:36,320 –> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: teeth and I do super stupid stuff. You know, I

340
00:18:38,520 –> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: did stupid stuff, but in a loving way. He and

341
00:18:42,080 –> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: I’m sure like Smoke Barber did two And my mom

342
00:18:44,880 –> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: and your mom would come back and go, We’re gonna

343
00:18:46,880 –> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: We’re gonna put you back on the horse to ride.

344
00:18:49,160 –> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: We’re gonna give you something here, so Andy Reid and

345
00:18:51,960 –> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: we saw that too in the NFL films having a

346
00:18:55,240 –> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: mic dep I mean, here came Mahomes, Here came Kelsey,

347
00:18:58,000 –> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: Here came coach Lou you know, all coming up to

348
00:19:00,560 –> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: encourage mcole Hardman. But Andy Reid said, no, you know what,

349
00:19:03,960 –> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: We’re going to run you a wide receiver screen at

350
00:19:06,040 –> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: the goal line. I trust you to catch it and

351
00:19:08,160 –> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: get in there. I’m going to run you on a

352
00:19:09,840 –> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: fifty one yard end a round because he knew that

353
00:19:12,800 –> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: they needed mcole Hardman. To me, it was big Red

354
00:19:16,040 –> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: the father, discipline within an environment, not overdoing it right,

355
00:19:20,720 –> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: not being the jerk dad. This has been the loving dad,

356
00:19:23,960 –> 00:19:26,719
Speaker 1: but saying you stay within these parameters and even if

357
00:19:26,760 –> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: you goof up, I’m going to give you another chance

358
00:19:29,160 –> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 1: and another chance because I care for you and because

359
00:19:32,040 –> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: we need you. The best families. To me, shop have that.

360
00:19:35,600 –> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: This Chief’s team is a family with a big red

361
00:19:38,000 –> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: father man. We have that, and we have in spades.

362
00:19:41,000 –> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: We have we have so much leadership throughout the ranks

363
00:19:44,000 –> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: of guys willing to accept mistakes. As long as you’re

364
00:19:48,560 –> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: working hard, you’re working fast, you’re trying, you’re showing great effort.

365
00:19:52,160 –> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: You will never get any leader on his team to

366
00:19:54,280 –> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: even blink. That is the thing. They realize. Great effort

367
00:19:57,800 –> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: sometimes causes mistakes to happen. But you’re trying, You’re doing

368
00:20:01,480 –> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: what you’re coach to do, trying your best to make

369
00:20:04,200 –> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: a play. As Mahomes would say over and over again,

370
00:20:07,320 –> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: we are who we are. All we gotta do is

371
00:20:09,240 –> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: be ourselves. He understands, he’s seen so much from of

372
00:20:13,040 –> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: all the other teams. As long as we be who

373
00:20:15,920 –> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: we are, beat beat beat, just be in ourselves. No

374
00:20:19,880 –> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: superman cakes, nobody playing outside of their realms. Understanding your position,

375
00:20:24,560 –> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: what you bring to every play, and then showing great

376
00:20:28,119 –> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: effort attitude to finish the play. That is all anybody

377
00:20:32,760 –> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: in this organization ask from each and one of our players.

378
00:20:35,680 –> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: And when they show that, no matter if they make

379
00:20:37,800 –> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: a mistake or not, the first people are gonna come

380
00:20:40,040 –> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: to you as those same leaders. Pick your head ups early,

381
00:20:43,040 –> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 1: got a lot of ball left to play. Come on,

382
00:20:44,840 –> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: we call, you’re gonna be there for us. We’re gonna

383
00:20:46,280 –> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: put you right back out there like you said on

384
00:20:48,040 –> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: that horse, put the ball right back in your hands

385
00:20:50,520 –> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: and let great things show. A year ago, at this time,

386
00:20:53,840 –> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: we said we could see the summit from here. We

387
00:20:56,280 –> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: talked about planting that flag at the top of the summit.

388
00:20:58,720 –> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: Now the Chiefs have can see a second mountain peak

389
00:21:02,359 –> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 1: and they’re is looking at it. But Andy Reid was asked,

390
00:21:06,640 –> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: why why is this team here? Where are they back

391
00:21:09,520 –> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: where they have a shot to run it back? And

392
00:21:11,560 –> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: he talked about everything they’ve gone through and echoed, because

393
00:21:14,560 –> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: it’s not Father’s Day until June. The Chiefs win February

394
00:21:18,400 –> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: seventh might be Father’s Day. Yeah, Well, I just think

395
00:21:26,080 –> 00:21:29,439
Speaker 1: the ability that I’m gonna come back to Brett here

396
00:21:29,520 –> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 1: real quick on this, but for him to be able

397
00:21:32,240 –> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: to sign back the players that he’s signed back, to

398
00:21:34,359 –> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: keep the team as whole as he possibly could, easier

399
00:21:39,040 –> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: said than done there. But I think that continuity between

400
00:21:44,480 –> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: the players and the coaches has been a positive up

401
00:21:48,560 –> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: to this point. So and that we all kind of

402
00:21:53,280 –> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: know what needs to be done to get to get here,

403
00:21:57,640 –> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: and everybody just did it. And then I think listen

404
00:22:02,280 –> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: to the fact that guys did their best to try

405
00:22:05,680 –> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. There had to be a certain dedication

406
00:22:08,720 –> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: of that. So we didn’t have a whole position miss

407
00:22:13,040 –> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: the game or that. So, I mean things were going

408
00:22:16,160 –> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: to happen. We knew that, and it was just a

409
00:22:18,119 –> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: matter of standing as disciplined as you possibly could, but

410
00:22:22,680 –> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: still having your family and wife significant other that has

411
00:22:28,560 –> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: a life to live, so then you kind of work

412
00:22:31,040 –> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: through that. So but these guys I thought, did a

413
00:22:34,800 –> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: nice job that not if they did, if they were infected,

414
00:22:40,800 –> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: that it didn’t spread over to the remaining part of

415
00:22:43,840 –> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: the team. All right, why are the Chiefs going to win?

416
00:22:47,040 –> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: In our opinion, Big Red ready, Andy Reid, Big Red

417
00:22:50,000 –> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: the Farmer, Big Red the Father. Now we’re going to

418
00:22:52,680 –> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: get into Big Red the Fighter. Do not underestimate Andy

419
00:22:57,440 –> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: Reid’s toughness. He’s coming after you like a pull lineman

420
00:23:01,440 –> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: leading down the field from a coole hardman on the

421
00:23:03,960 –> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: fifty one yard end around. Andy Reid fights and he

422
00:23:08,359 –> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: is ready to fight to win Super Bowl fifty five.

423
00:23:10,560 –> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: This dude, Do not estimate his toughness. He’s This team

424
00:23:13,920 –> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: has faced a double load of cannister from everybody they played,

425
00:23:17,880 –> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: and they just have been beating them off with the

426
00:23:19,640 –> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: stick sands. The Raiders game and then that JV game

427
00:23:23,240 –> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: in week seventeen. Andy Reid will get you. He will

428
00:23:26,520 –> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: take you down, and he will pin you to the mat.

429
00:23:28,280 –> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: He’ll help you up and take you back down again.

430
00:23:30,800 –> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: Do not underestimate Andy. Read the competitor, and Andy read

431
00:23:33,960 –> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: the fighter man. When you speak to a fighter. The

432
00:23:36,560 –> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: first thought that jumps in my mind is that Mike

433
00:23:39,000 –> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: Tyson quote. Everybody has a plan until the first time

434
00:23:41,359 –> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 1: you hit him in the mouth. And that’s the one

435
00:23:43,200 –> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: thing Andy Reid loves to do. Come out swinging guns,

436
00:23:47,600 –> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: a blazing, starting fast and finishing strong. It doesn’t matter

437
00:23:51,480 –> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: if it is the first kickoff or coming out a halftime.

438
00:23:53,880 –> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: You’re gonna get our offense trying to go eighty yards

439
00:23:56,760 –> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 1: whatever needed, scoring touchdowns. We believe every driving you heard

440
00:24:00,800 –> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: coach me enemy says a few times, every play in

441
00:24:03,760 –> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 1: our offense is designed to score. And that has been

442
00:24:07,000 –> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: chopped up in national media. They are you can’t exploit

443
00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:12,719
Speaker 1: the score. No, every play is designed with great effort

444
00:24:12,880 –> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: and understanding your blocking scheme. You should have potentially the

445
00:24:17,040 –> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: potential score every play. Why would you call any play

446
00:24:20,640 –> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: that didn’t actually have an expectation of scoring the touchdown?

447
00:24:24,200 –> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: And that’s what you see from the Chiefs. That’s why

448
00:24:26,080 –> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: they put so much pressure on the opposing’s defense. It’s

449
00:24:29,640 –> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: because if you do not execute on the defensive side,

450
00:24:32,840 –> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: it can be eighty eight out the gate. We seen

451
00:24:35,280 –> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 1: Cheater run a slant catch it that five yards go

452
00:24:37,840 –> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: seventy one. We talked about McCole Hartman on an end

453
00:24:40,480 –> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: of round fifty some yards. We talk about the consistency

454
00:24:43,720 –> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: the body blows, body blows, body blows, with Kelsey catching

455
00:24:47,280 –> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: the ball for first downs, first downs, first downs, and

456
00:24:49,960 –> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: then touchdowns. The efficiency that this team offensively just continues

457
00:24:55,040 –> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: to beat at you, beat at you, beat at you.

458
00:24:57,040 –> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: It breaks you down defensively until you really want want

459
00:25:00,200 –> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: to give up, and so going. We talk about Andy

460
00:25:03,160 –> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: reat the fighter, that fighter’s mentality, always getting up. It

461
00:25:07,560 –> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of one rocky bald Bola. You

462
00:25:11,359 –> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: know how he does He come on, give me some more?

463
00:25:14,080 –> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: Is that all you got? Can tell us? The twelfth round?

464
00:25:16,680 –> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: And then he headshot head shot until you’re out with

465
00:25:19,560 –> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: the count. And this offensive line to me is and

466
00:25:24,000 –> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: we know that with fish going down and tough for fish,

467
00:25:29,200 –> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: but that group now has been clawed and scratching and

468
00:25:31,920 –> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: digging and fighting. Nick Allaghretty came out of nowhere a

469
00:25:34,280 –> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: low round draft picks. He’s grown up in front of

470
00:25:37,400 –> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: our eyes. Ramers had to move right tackle. Left tackle.

471
00:25:39,760 –> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: We’ve seen while they have to move out to right tackle.

472
00:25:42,000 –> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: We know how this wiz Newski is coaching us. Talks

473
00:25:44,400 –> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: about dirty tough, dirty tough all the time, but I’ve

474
00:25:46,920 –> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: seen it too. On defense. There is a toughness to

475
00:25:49,600 –> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: this team, whether it’s dirty Dan Sorensen or even Tono

476
00:25:52,720 –> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: at times, or at alex okafor hit Man Hitchens in

477
00:25:57,560 –> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: there playing the mike backer. I mean, there’s a toughness

478
00:26:00,080 –> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: to this team. And to me, that’s an underrated part

479
00:26:02,680 –> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: of this team because it doesn’t look like that, but

480
00:26:04,760 –> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: they are. And it’s really the way. Andy Reid is

481
00:26:07,680 –> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: nice guy. He’s gonna be nice. If he’s gonna pin

482
00:26:10,680 –> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: you to the matter wants to get in a wrestling term,

483
00:26:12,920 –> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: a technical decision, he’ll let you up and take you

484
00:26:15,320 –> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: down again. Do not underestimate and he read the fighter.

485
00:26:18,359 –> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: But I’ve seen it on both sides of the ball,

486
00:26:19,880 –> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: and this offensive line is gonna have to do it.

487
00:26:21,520 –> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: We’ll get into this next week, more into the guts

488
00:26:23,280 –> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: of the game, but this offensive line is a little

489
00:26:25,680 –> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: bit of a personification of Andy Reid’s toughness. Man, if

490
00:26:28,600 –> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: you listen to Kingdom Shorts, you hear honey Badgers say

491
00:26:30,800 –> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: one quote that rings in my ear over and over.

492
00:26:33,680 –> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: If it was hard, if somebody told you it’s hard,

493
00:26:35,880 –> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: are you still willing to do it? And that’s something

494
00:26:38,520 –> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: I think each position room, every player on his team

495
00:26:41,280 –> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: was challenged. You’re not just a right guard, left tackle.

496
00:26:45,400 –> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: You’re not just a center. Everybody on that old line

497
00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: plays multiple spots. You never know who’s going down or

498
00:26:51,000 –> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: who’s going to have to move out to what position.

499
00:26:53,000 –> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: And you can’t blink. You can’t, you can’t, Okay, this

500
00:26:55,640 –> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: is not my best. No. Collectively, you gotta get it done.

501
00:26:59,240 –> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: Why I receive. You are not an X, you ain’t

502
00:27:01,480 –> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: a why, you ain’t a Z. You’re a wide receiver.

503
00:27:03,920 –> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: If they put you in the game, you have to

504
00:27:05,480 –> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: know all three four positions how to run them be effective.

505
00:27:09,080 –> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: Finish debate on defense, You’re a dB, no corners, no safeties,

506
00:27:13,080 –> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: and Spagnola’s defense. Anybody can come from any direction and

507
00:27:17,040 –> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: you still have to know your leverage, where you’re health is,

508
00:27:19,520 –> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: where your fits are, whereas all your passing progression goes,

509
00:27:23,240 –> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: so the amount of pressure this team puts on each other.

510
00:27:26,960 –> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: If you’re a linebacker, d line any position, you have

511
00:27:30,280 –> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: to learn all the positions of your group. That is

512
00:27:33,160 –> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: asking more, that is sacrificing yourself for the greater good

513
00:27:36,800 –> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: of the team, because you know when somebody goes down

514
00:27:39,640 –> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: it might be your opportunity to step up and be

515
00:27:41,680 –> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: that mic linebacker. You got to make the call and

516
00:27:44,240 –> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: you can’t blink, you can’t flinch. And that’s why Andy

517
00:27:47,240 –> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 1: Reid is a fighter. You talked about Rocky he had

518
00:27:49,720 –> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: to take on clever Land, He had to take on

519
00:27:51,400 –> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: a big Russian drago guy. Right in real life, Muhammad

520
00:27:55,280 –> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: Ala took on all commerce Man even got beat but

521
00:27:58,000 –> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: Joe Frazier beat him, but then he came back. Or

522
00:28:00,200 –> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: a case of Floyd Mayweather, Bring them on, Bring them on.

523
00:28:02,800 –> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: For Andy Reid. He mentioned it this week, and it’s

524
00:28:05,880 –> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: not an arrogant statement. It’s just a statement that we’ve

525
00:28:08,000 –> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: talked about for months. You get the best shot from

526
00:28:10,680 –> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: everyone else. We persevered through some tough games and so

527
00:28:16,400 –> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: the mental toughness to do that individually each week. UM,

528
00:28:24,080 –> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: what was important, UH, knowing that you’re going to get

529
00:28:28,119 –> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 1: people’s best shot. And so there’s that respect fact. I

530
00:28:31,760 –> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: didn’t feel as much fatigue to it as just you

531
00:28:37,000 –> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: can you can allow yourself to follow the other way

532
00:28:41,000 –> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: and to start questioning and that, and the guys never

533
00:28:44,520 –> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: did that. They didn’t question each other, they didn’t question

534
00:28:47,320 –> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 1: the coaches. I stayed focused and delivered and so um

535
00:28:53,560 –> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: where however that falls in. So I’m not sure how

536
00:28:56,320 –> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: to categorize that, but i just think that that that

537
00:28:59,800 –> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: might have been the biggest challenge. I mean, you’ve seen

538
00:29:03,480 –> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: that with teams when things aren’t going right, they just

539
00:29:06,920 –> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of fall apart there. And our guys have not

540
00:29:09,960 –> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: done that. They’ve all stuck together and trusted. So there

541
00:29:14,200 –> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: you go. Big Red ready means big Red the farmer,

542
00:29:17,680 –> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: big Red the father, Big Red the fighter. It’s why

543
00:29:20,440 –> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: he’ll be in the Hall of Fame and why the

544
00:29:21,960 –> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs have a chance to be the first

545
00:29:23,840 –> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: team in sixteen seasons to be back to back Super

546
00:29:26,520 –> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: Bowl champions. They are making history every time they go

547
00:29:29,120 –> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: on the field. But Andy Reid, the characteristics that he

548
00:29:33,640 –> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: brings to this team, to me, gives them the best

549
00:29:36,360 –> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: shot to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Andy Read is

550
00:29:39,560 –> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: a special, special individual. He set a vision and a

551
00:29:42,720 –> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: process of how to be a championship team. No guarantees.

552
00:29:47,000 –> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: There are no guarantees in football. You can’t guarantee Super Bowls,

553
00:29:52,320 –> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: you can’t guarantee AFC championships. The only thing you can

554
00:29:55,080 –> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: guarantee is the opportunity, the opportunity to go out there

555
00:29:59,040 –> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: and give it your best show, great effort, and what

556
00:30:01,600 –> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: Andy retails. Those guys, let your personality show. And our

557
00:30:05,080 –> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: team has had more personality any team in an NFL

558
00:30:07,880 –> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: and we’re going to showcase that on Super Bowl Sunday.

559
00:30:10,880 –> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: He’s Shane Barbar tenure NFL veteran. I’m Michels. We both

560
00:30:14,520 –> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: have the bows, have seven hundred headphones on great Valentine’s

561
00:30:19,000 –> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: Gift idea and a great gift idea to celebrate a

562
00:30:21,520 –> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five championship. Next week, we’re gonna get

563
00:30:24,520 –> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: more into the guts of this game and look deeper

564
00:30:27,240 –> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: into the bucks and get at more x’s and ohs.

565
00:30:29,040 –> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: But this time, hey, get ready, because Big Red will

566
00:30:33,040 –> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: be ready. Big Red ready, ready to run it back.
