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.
