Speaker 1: veteran and Chief’s Ambassador Sean Barber. Okay, we’re gonna start
9
00:00:31,480 –> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 1: this one. By the way, I’m rocking the headphones Rocket

00:00:34,400 –> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: got them? Got them there they are. Yep, you’ll change

00:00:40,080 –> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: These are the Bows seven hundreds, great for Valentine’s Day,
13
00:00:44,320 –> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: and you can find them at bows dot com. There’s
14
00:00:46,360 –> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: just a drop down headphones. Whoop, drop them there. They
15
00:00:49,800 –> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: are eleven levels of noise cancelation. All right, if we
16
00:00:54,000 –> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: started this, I should have a sound effects to start
17
00:00:57,960 –> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: this Defending the Kingdom episode because it would start sixty minutes,
18
00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: not the famous TV show for what but five decades
19
00:01:08,720 –> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: that was Hey, if sixty minutes shows up, you get nervous, right,
20
00:01:12,800 –> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: But this is the sixty minutes version of defending the Kingdom,
21
00:01:17,280 –> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: Because here we are shop looking at a second mountaintop,
22
00:01:22,040 –> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: looking at being historic, because this is not happening, winning
23
00:01:27,240 –> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: back to back Super Bowls for anybody in this league
24
00:01:29,360 –> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: for sixteen years, and the Chiefs were staring at a
25
00:01:33,000 –> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: second mountain top. But all of the talk, all of
26
00:01:37,640 –> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: the chatter, all the yaktyak. How much does this boil
27
00:01:41,720 –> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: down to sixty minutes of football? About seventy snaps both ways,
28
00:01:48,520 –> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: in ten possessions both ways. Anyway, as they say it
29
00:01:52,160 –> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: back in the day, it’s time to put up or
30
00:01:54,440 –> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: shut up. And I was reading your lips early. I
31
00:01:56,960 –> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: didn’t have my bows on, I didn’t have my infos
32
00:01:59,040 –> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: on so good. I’m a great lip reader, so I
33
00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: would read the lips. I was like, I don’t get
34
00:02:03,640 –> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: no saying. I was like my bows earphones. Man, it’s
35
00:02:06,520 –> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: almost Valentine’s Day. Make sure get your lucky lady a
36
00:02:11,320 –> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: pair of these. She would love you for the rest
37
00:02:13,600 –> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: of the year. Man, these bows seven hundreds are outstanding.
38
00:02:16,639 –> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: Like you said, man, sixty minutes to get it done,
39
00:02:19,560 –> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: sixty minutes to live in history, to make history. We’ve
40
00:02:23,120 –> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: been talking about each game in the playoffs. You gotta
41
00:02:25,800 –> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: make your tomorrow. You gotta make your tomorrow. You gotta
42
00:02:28,240 –> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: go on from the wild card weekend to the divisional
43
00:02:30,480 –> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: to the championship weekend. But now it’s the big game.
44
00:02:33,480 –> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: Now you’re in the super Bowl. This is what everybody
45
00:02:35,760 –> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: trained for ten twelve months for ever since the last one,
46
00:02:40,639 –> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: everybody’s been training with a focus. How can they position
47
00:02:43,880 –> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: themselves to best get to this game, to be a
48
00:02:46,400 –> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: part of this opportunity to be in Super Bowl fifty five.
49
00:02:50,080 –> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: And it’s time for our Chiefs to have the opportunity
50
00:02:52,320 –> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: to go back to back and do it. Only I
51
00:02:54,320 –> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 1: think seven other teams in history has done go back
52
00:02:56,800 –> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: to back winning Super Bowl champion. Even teams have done it,
53
00:03:01,160 –> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: it’s only happened eight times. Pittsburgh did it twice back
54
00:03:04,040 –> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: in the seventy Steel Curtain days. Okay, here is the balance,
55
00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: because we have seen this game over a five decade
56
00:03:12,840 –> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: plus period, eat some people alive, Scott Norwood missing those
57
00:03:17,400 –> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo kicks like you can’t live them down. We’ve seen
58
00:03:20,760 –> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: guys freak out, have like the worst moments of their
59
00:03:23,760 –> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: lives because the stage is so big and the lights
60
00:03:26,480 –> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: are so bright. But and people have asked me all
61
00:03:30,080 –> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: along national regional shows that we’ve both been on and
62
00:03:33,600 –> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: on constantly, day by day by day, protection of the
63
00:03:36,160 –> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs losing Eric Fisher. But how much of this is
64
00:03:39,080 –> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: a balance. Yes, you’re on this huge stage, but just
65
00:03:43,000 –> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: making sure you concentrate that it’s really ten possessions, seventy snaps,
66
00:03:48,560 –> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: sixty game minutes. As a guy that’s played the game,
67
00:03:52,560 –> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: it’s all about controlling the moment, understanding that everything outside
68
00:03:55,840 –> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: of your focus is this outside of noise. It’s a distraction,
69
00:03:58,680 –> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: and even your own excite can sometimes be a distraction.
70
00:04:02,680 –> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: So that’s when you talk about being a pro’s pro
71
00:04:05,240 –> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: understanding that all we need for everybody, all fifty three
72
00:04:08,880 –> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: guys on our roster, do your job, do your job, consistently,
73
00:04:13,360 –> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: execute every play, trust your team, and communicate the same
74
00:04:17,000 –> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: thing you’ve been doing all season long. No one needs
75
00:04:20,000 –> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: to put on any superman case for this team to
76
00:04:22,080 –> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: become victorious. And we understand the moment. We understand the
77
00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: moment more recently than any other team because we just
78
00:04:28,480 –> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: came through it last year down in Miami, Florida. So
79
00:04:31,680 –> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: if anybody understands this moment, it is ready and prepared
80
00:04:34,920 –> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: with the amount of experience throughout the roster for our
81
00:04:37,640 –> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: guys to talk amongst each other. But we have some
82
00:04:40,040 –> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: guys that are so excited because last year they miss
83
00:04:42,880 –> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do to injury in the late season.
84
00:04:45,760 –> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: And those guys have a chance to be a part
85
00:04:47,839 –> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: of something they missed last year, a special moment, to
86
00:04:50,920 –> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: go out there, onto your team, onto your fan base,
87
00:04:54,120 –> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: play with so much passion and energy and excitement, lose control,
88
00:04:58,960 –> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: be who you are. But to stay in controlled environment,
89
00:05:02,320 –> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: a controlled insanity. That’s what’s gonna win this ball game.
90
00:05:05,440 –> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: The team that executes and handles the moment and handles
91
00:05:08,760 –> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: the excitement the best. And I believe our leader, our leader,
92
00:05:11,960 –> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes, will have the seeds come. He’ll have every
93
00:05:16,080 –> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: man ready. He’ll have every guy laser focused on their
94
00:05:19,320 –> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: job and their opportunity, and they’ll go out there and
95
00:05:21,400 –> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: play their best and let the scoreboard take care of itself. Yeah.
96
00:05:25,200 –> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: And so that big guy with a big red mustache
97
00:05:27,520 –> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: with the big red you know code on that’s last week.
98
00:05:31,520 –> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: You can go back if you missed it, Big Red ready,
99
00:05:34,160 –> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: that’s the last week’s episode. You brought up something though
100
00:05:36,720 –> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: that I think is very key here for me being
101
00:05:40,080 –> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: in this league twenty seven years, being around this team
102
00:05:43,160 –> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: as a little kid likes a fan, waiting fifty years
103
00:05:46,279 –> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: for that Super Bowl to get it. Last year, I
104
00:05:48,320 –> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: can’t imagine what it would have been like to have
105
00:05:50,960 –> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: missed it because I was sick or injured. And I
106
00:05:55,040 –> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: remember talking to one Thornhill after the game in that
107
00:05:58,160 –> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: you four o’clock a room and wants a good dude. Man,
108
00:06:01,680 –> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: he has got a bright future in this league and
109
00:06:03,600 –> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: with this franchise, and he was happy, but you could
110
00:06:07,000 –> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: just see it in his eyes like there was just
111
00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: something not quite there. And he didn’t get to play
112
00:06:12,520 –> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: in that game. And I was praying, thinking, man, I
113
00:06:15,920 –> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: hope he gets a chance to do this. It’s the
114
00:06:19,800 –> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: next year he gets a chance to do it. He’s
115
00:06:22,760 –> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: not alone because Alex Okafor is in this boat. Andrew Wiley,
116
00:06:29,520 –> 00:06:32,239
Speaker 1: who’s got a big bright light shining on him because
117
00:06:32,240 –> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: he’s got a move to right tackle because of the
118
00:06:34,800 –> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: injury to Fisher, movement was newsk to right guard and
119
00:06:37,240 –> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: all the shifting. He didn’t get to play in this
120
00:06:39,920 –> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: game last year. And here’s another one shot. D will
121
00:06:44,240 –> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: Darryl Williams, who has become the four minute monster and
122
00:06:48,040 –> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: maybe the most unsung hero of this year’s playoff run.
123
00:06:52,440 –> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: He didn’t get to play in this game either last year.
124
00:06:55,520 –> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: And all four of these cats, I put it out
125
00:06:57,560 –> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: on Twitter earlier today, all four of these guys can
126
00:07:02,160 –> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: have significant impact in winning this game. They get another
127
00:07:06,279 –> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: sixteen minutes and a chance to play. I love it
128
00:07:09,240 –> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: for these four guys, and I know they’re gonna bring
129
00:07:11,080 –> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: it well. You talk about how much you miss an opportunity,
130
00:07:14,040 –> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: and understand it. Even though we won the game and
131
00:07:16,720 –> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: we had the ring ceremony and it was just such
132
00:07:18,560 –> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: an exciting time to be a part of Kansas City
133
00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: with the celebration in the parade, it was still something
134
00:07:23,840 –> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: missing you could, like you said it was, it’s still
135
00:07:25,720 –> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: a little gleam and you’re at it. You did not
136
00:07:28,200 –> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: go out and perform on that stage. Yes, you got
137
00:07:31,280 –> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: the ring. You know you paid your dudes all season long,
138
00:07:34,200 –> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: so you’re you’re just as committed. You just you sacrifice
139
00:07:37,840 –> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: and gave as much as everybody else need on that
140
00:07:39,960 –> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: team throughout a twelve month period. But you still didn’t
141
00:07:43,320 –> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: have a chance to taste that sweet nective, to stay
142
00:07:46,080 –> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: in those end zones, to warm upon that field, to
143
00:07:48,240 –> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: see those lights flashed on that opening kick off, to
144
00:07:50,800 –> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: know what it’s like to say to to hear mitch’all
145
00:07:53,440 –> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: say touchdown Kansas City on the Super Bowl Sunday. It’s
146
00:07:58,720 –> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: one chance for that. They got one opportunity and they
147
00:08:01,200 –> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: have a chance to capture that moment Sunday in Tampa
148
00:08:04,520 –> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: Bay Raymond James Stadium, Super Bowl fifty five. I know
149
00:08:07,440 –> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: those guys are so excited, and let’s not forget Byron
150
00:08:10,640 –> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: Pringle gets to go home to Tampa Bay hometown. Byron Pringle,
151
00:08:14,360 –> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: case states own wild cat gets to go back home
152
00:08:17,680 –> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: and fight in front of his family and friends. That
153
00:08:20,440 –> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: is incredibly awesome. He gets that shot, and you know
154
00:08:23,600 –> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: he’ll be ready to go, because it seems like he’s
155
00:08:25,440 –> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: ready to go. Every time he goes out there. He’s
156
00:08:27,440 –> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: asked to do one hundred things and he does them
157
00:08:29,320 –> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: all very well. Let’s jump into some of the exits
158
00:08:31,880 –> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: and those of this game, and this is where the
159
00:08:33,440 –> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: sixty minutes gets involved too. People have said the protection
160
00:08:36,800 –> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: of the chiefs. Okay, we’ve alluded to it already, and
161
00:08:40,040 –> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: here comes a furious Tampa Bay defense. We saw Jason Pierre,
162
00:08:44,200 –> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: Paul Shack, Barrett, maybe the most underrated defender in the
163
00:08:48,640 –> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: National Football League when you look at what he’s done
164
00:08:50,800 –> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: over the past couple of years. David Lante, David at linebacker,
165
00:08:55,320 –> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: When you look at Devin White at linebacker and DOMI
166
00:08:58,120 –> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: can sue they at the I mean William Golston. These
167
00:09:01,920 –> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: guys are studs and seven takeaways in the playoffs. How
168
00:09:05,280 –> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: are the Chiefs going to protect Patrick Mahomes? Think about it,
169
00:09:09,320 –> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: sixty minutes, seventy possessions, ten ten possessions, seventy plays. You
170
00:09:15,720 –> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: don’t have to do this for two months. You don’t
171
00:09:18,000 –> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: have to do this for an entire season. You’ve got
172
00:09:21,200 –> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: to lock in and trust Andy Reid in those protection
173
00:09:23,480 –> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: schemes for sixty minutes, ten possessions, seventy plays. Definitely there
174
00:09:29,760 –> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: D lane versus r old line is going to be
175
00:09:31,800 –> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: a matchup for the ages. That’s gonna be the where
176
00:09:34,520 –> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: everybody is focused on that kickoff from the first possession,
177
00:09:37,160 –> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: especially throughout their first ten plays, until there’s a rhythm
178
00:09:39,920 –> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: in the game. What I believe is that Andy Reid,
179
00:09:42,240 –> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: because of his experience, he knows how he can affect
180
00:09:46,040 –> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: a defensive line, not just about his personnel who lines
181
00:09:49,640 –> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: of where, but we can use formations. We can put
182
00:09:52,440 –> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: two tights go twilve, we can go to budge sets,
183
00:09:55,600 –> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: we can you also use play calling, screens, jet sweeps.
184
00:10:00,960 –> 00:10:04,359
Speaker 1: Either way, all of those things affect a nine techniques
185
00:10:05,280 –> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: focus there, attention to detail, how hard he comes off
186
00:10:08,280 –> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: the ball. If you don’t let those nine techniques just
187
00:10:11,520 –> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: pining their ears back and go all pass by, running, draws, screens,
188
00:10:16,480 –> 00:10:19,079
Speaker 1: anything kind of delay up the middle, it forces them
189
00:10:19,120 –> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: to slow down, and when they slow down, the playing
190
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: field becomes equal. The web thing that those both of
191
00:10:26,040 –> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: those guys, Shaq Barrett and Jpp, they have an amazing
192
00:10:29,520 –> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: first step. We can’t take that away from them. They
193
00:10:31,800 –> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: are tremendous athletes and they both have amazing first steps.
194
00:10:35,760 –> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: But if you watch them in the film, you get
195
00:10:37,679 –> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: them all sides a few times. Sometimes they are guessing.
196
00:10:40,800 –> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes a hard account can be used, and we know
197
00:10:43,960 –> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Pat has a great hard account can be used to
198
00:10:46,240 –> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: really slow their motor and get those guys thinking instead
199
00:10:49,120 –> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: of just being able to rush the passer. There’s a
200
00:10:51,360 –> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: lot more to the game those nine techniques gonna have
201
00:10:53,760 –> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: to worry about. They’re gonna have to worry about Pat scrambling.
202
00:10:56,080 –> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: They’re gonna have to worry about draws, They’re gonna have
203
00:10:57,960 –> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: to worry about the jet sweep, They’re gonna have to
204
00:10:59,720 –> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: be worrying about formations, ship blocks from our running backs.
205
00:11:03,160 –> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: There’s a there’s a there’s a There’s a plethora of
206
00:11:05,000 –> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: things Andy Reid can do, and because he’s so knowledgeable
207
00:11:07,880 –> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: about the game, I think he can implement a lot
208
00:11:10,200 –> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: of those factors without losing any momentum from his play
209
00:11:13,480 –> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: calling ability. One of the things I’ve learned from Andy Reid,
210
00:11:17,080 –> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: and especially since twenty fifteen when he was playing think
211
00:11:20,480 –> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: about it, Von Miller and Shack Barrett, that great Denver
212
00:11:23,080 –> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: defense that won Super Bowl fifty. I’ve learned from Andy
213
00:11:26,679 –> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: Reid that you block people without blocking people seriously like
214
00:11:31,960 –> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: that you just alluded to it, and all of a sudden,
215
00:11:33,880 –> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: you got all this going on, whether it’s jet action,
216
00:11:36,240 –> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: ghost action, the screens, the wide screens, the inside screens,
217
00:11:40,720 –> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, I can block you without
218
00:11:43,080 –> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: even touching you, and Andy Reid become I think he’s
219
00:11:46,000 –> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: the master of it right now in the National Football League.
220
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: One thing, while we’re still on this kind of Chiefs
221
00:11:51,280 –> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: offense against protections against the Buccaneers, front seven basically, or
222
00:11:57,200 –> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: if they blitz. Todd Bowles loves to blitz. It was
223
00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: interesting in the game in November if you go back
224
00:12:02,520 –> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: to that Week seven, sorry, Week eleven or twelve game,
225
00:12:07,240 –> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers blitzed Patrick Mahomes on only seventeen percent of
226
00:12:10,760 –> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: his dropbacks. That was the fewest for Todd Bulls in
227
00:12:14,400 –> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 1: two years. And I like Todd Bulls, heck of a coach.
228
00:12:17,120 –> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: But his blitz rate is sixth in the league overall
229
00:12:20,640 –> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: when you look at it. The Chiefs are fourth in
230
00:12:22,400 –> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: the blitz rate. We’ll get to that in a second.
231
00:12:24,559 –> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: But I’m just curious of how Todd Bowles will handle this.
232
00:12:28,280 –> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: They’re gonna play press off He got killed in press
233
00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: in November. Tyry Kill was going to have a bazillion
234
00:12:33,720 –> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: yards two hundred a first quarter. How’s Todd Bowles gonna
235
00:12:37,520 –> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: play this and how much of a guessing games involved.
236
00:12:40,040 –> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: But it’s Todd bows It definitely has a lot of experience,
237
00:12:42,200 –> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: obviously his years back in Philly, so he knows the offense,
238
00:12:44,920 –> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: he knows some of the core things about it. But
239
00:12:46,960 –> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: this offense has developed, blossom, flourish so far from when
240
00:12:50,840 –> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: Andy was in Philly with Donovan McNabb and Jeff Garcia.
241
00:12:57,520 –> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: This offense is completely different, is a plete different weapons,
242
00:13:01,040 –> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: and the way he’s using those weapons is unlike we’ve
243
00:13:04,080 –> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: seen anyone in the past. So I don’t really, I
244
00:13:06,480 –> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: don’t think that that’s going to be such a great asset.
245
00:13:08,800 –> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: What I do bring up is that the Tampa Bay defense,
246
00:13:11,840 –> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: if you watch him, Let’s go back a week. Let’s
247
00:13:14,280 –> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: watch him two weeks ago against a New Orleans Saints.
248
00:13:16,960 –> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: They played the Saints twice in the regular season. Both
249
00:13:20,040 –> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: times the Saints blow them out. They can’t stop their
250
00:13:22,800 –> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: offense big points in the third game. You would think
251
00:13:26,480 –> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: after being blowed out twice you would change up some stuff.
252
00:13:29,720 –> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: He didn’t. He stayed with this thing. He stayed with
253
00:13:32,600 –> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: the same concepts. They played the exact same zones and
254
00:13:35,520 –> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: man coverages. What you did see they amped up the
255
00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: physicality their safeties, their corners. They were jamming and rerouting,
256
00:13:43,600 –> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: they were hitting everything moving, they were taking some cheap
257
00:13:46,200 –> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: shots even on all levels. On every level, the intensity
258
00:13:50,600 –> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: and the physicality did ramp up. And so if there’s
259
00:13:53,480 –> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 1: something I see that’s gonna be a different page or
260
00:13:56,679 –> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: something different between now and week twelve when we played
261
00:13:59,080 –> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: them is I see them trying to uptake the physicality,
262
00:14:03,240 –> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: trying to be very physical with our guys right out
263
00:14:05,280 –> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: of the shoot, trying to create some some some you know,
264
00:14:09,559 –> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: misunderstanding between Pat Mahomes and receivers as far as their
265
00:14:12,800 –> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: route concepts. And I think that our speed and the
266
00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: way we’ve played and the way we develop routes and
267
00:14:18,800 –> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: our instinctiveness because of our receivers, that physicality is going
268
00:14:22,520 –> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: to be nullified, especially because that injury to Whitehead. They’re
269
00:14:28,120 –> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: they’re hard hitting safety. Whatever he’s got going on, I
270
00:14:30,960 –> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: don’t think two weeks can heal it up. So I
271
00:14:32,960 –> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: think if you take back his ability to hit hard,
272
00:14:35,480 –> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: he becomes very average and normal in the back end
273
00:14:38,320 –> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: is facing the back of the Buccaneers are facing a
274
00:14:40,840 –> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: lot of injury problems that I think our offense can
275
00:14:43,440 –> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: really take advantage and expose early in the game and
276
00:14:46,440 –> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: then to finish them off. There’s a lot of reasons
277
00:14:49,360 –> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: why the Bucks are in this game and why they’ve
278
00:14:51,640 –> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: they won three road games. I mean, this is a
279
00:14:53,400 –> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: wildcard team that got in there. But if you boil
280
00:14:57,840 –> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: all the stuff down and you look at it to
281
00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: this is to your point, this triggered this thought seven takeaways.
282
00:15:04,400 –> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: This team has seven takeaways in three postseason games. It’s
283
00:15:08,560 –> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: why they’re here. They were able to take it away
284
00:15:10,680 –> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: from the Packers. One of the biggest players in that
285
00:15:13,560 –> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: Buck Saints game was the strip of Jared Cook on
286
00:15:17,440 –> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: a slant pattern. He’s got a plus game and he’s
287
00:15:20,960 –> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: got a double digit gain. All of a sudden, the
288
00:15:22,840 –> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: ball hacks out, bounces right up into Devon White, and
289
00:15:25,360 –> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: off he’s running. And I give this a compliment to
290
00:15:28,440 –> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: this team because that’s the way they played in the playoffs.
291
00:15:31,480 –> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: Is there. Yeah, they ain’t gonna change a whole lot,
292
00:15:33,320 –> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: but they’re coming after you to try to rip your
293
00:15:35,040 –> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: face off. And that has had an effect on all
294
00:15:38,040 –> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: three of their opponents in the postseason. And also because
295
00:15:41,280 –> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: if you start hitting receivers late down the field, you
296
00:15:44,960 –> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: talk about en routes, been routes, I’m slants. When you
297
00:15:48,880 –> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: started getting hit in the ball stars to float a
298
00:15:51,160 –> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: little bit, that’s what leads to those tip passes, the
299
00:15:53,880 –> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: defensive speed off of them. The last play of the
300
00:15:56,360 –> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: Saints game, I’m Drew Brees throws the ball to receive,
301
00:15:59,720 –> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: he goes up, he’s about to get hit, so you
302
00:16:02,160 –> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: see him clinch up and cringe a little bit. He
303
00:16:04,320 –> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: gets those alligator arms tip ball, they’re safety interceptions. Ball
304
00:16:10,080 –> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: stays in bounds. Like I said, man, they do have
305
00:16:12,400 –> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: a good personnel in the back end. Button Junior, like
306
00:16:15,560 –> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: we said, white Head obviously Winfield Junior. Um. Those guys
307
00:16:19,040 –> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: got a lot of playoff mentality, a lot of instincts.
308
00:16:21,760 –> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: But they’re gonna try to make it. They’re gonna try
309
00:16:23,200 –> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: to muddy the waters. They’re gonna try to make it
310
00:16:24,960 –> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: as physical and intense ball game beyond the line of
311
00:16:28,520 –> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: scrimmage so that they’re guys at the line of scrimmage
312
00:16:31,880 –> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: has a chance to try to get home and sat
313
00:16:33,600 –> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes, Yeah, Murfred Bunning has three interceptions, one in
314
00:16:36,960 –> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: each of the three games in the postseason. Again this
315
00:16:39,920 –> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom episode, super Bowl fifty five previews sixty minutes,
316
00:16:44,000 –> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: tick tick tick tick tick tick sixty minutes, ten possessions,
317
00:16:48,320 –> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: seventy plays in sixty game minutes. Now, I put my
318
00:16:52,280 –> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 1: boards up for this game. I got them next to
319
00:16:54,000 –> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: my Super Bowl fifty four boards, but I put them
320
00:16:56,920 –> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: out for the podcast. Just say there they are. That’s
321
00:17:00,160 –> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: what we got for super Bowl fifty five. Put him
322
00:17:01,920 –> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: side by side. And the reason is I could flip
323
00:17:04,320 –> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: those boards over and get into this discussion that hasn’t
324
00:17:06,920 –> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: been talked about enough in my opinion, and that is
325
00:17:09,920 –> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: the emergence of this Chiefs defense in the postseason and
326
00:17:13,560 –> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: their ability to try to get after Tom Brady. I
327
00:17:17,760 –> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: don’t think enough discussion has been there because the Buccaneers
328
00:17:22,400 –> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: have their own injury issues on the offensive line. They’re
329
00:17:24,800 –> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 1: going to play a new right guard in this game,
330
00:17:27,080 –> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs were able to reach some havoc against
331
00:17:30,560 –> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: this buck the offensive front. I haven’t heard enough chatter
332
00:17:33,880 –> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: about that because that could become a tipping point in
333
00:17:36,800 –> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: this game. I like the fact that I’m not here,
334
00:17:39,160 –> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: and I hope, I hope that’s the secret sauce to
335
00:17:43,840 –> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: the mystery mix that actually leads does winning the Super Bowl,
336
00:17:46,880 –> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: is that our defense fans ways to get to Tom Brady,
337
00:17:50,840 –> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: have him thrown the ball before he’s ready, because what
338
00:17:53,320 –> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: we’ve seen and even in the green Bay game and
339
00:17:54,960 –> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: they end up winning, there were two or three more
340
00:17:56,960 –> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: balls that he threw up fifty fifty. Did the green
341
00:17:59,160 –> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: Bay package just intercept they were? They were? They were
342
00:18:01,600 –> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: definitely bad passes interceptible and at the end of the day.
343
00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: What we know is that Tom Brady is gonna be
344
00:18:08,359 –> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: in that five by five in the pocket. He’s not mobile,
345
00:18:11,560 –> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 1: he’s not gonna run. So any type of pressure right
346
00:18:14,280 –> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: up the A and B gaps to start interfering with
347
00:18:17,840 –> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: his ability to step up and deliver the ball, or
348
00:18:20,119 –> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: making him deliver the ball in speed of his process,
349
00:18:22,960 –> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: so he delivers the ball a little bit sooner than
350
00:18:24,600 –> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: he wants. All of those things are almost just as
351
00:18:27,160 –> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: good as getting them on the ground and getting them sacked.
352
00:18:29,440 –> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: He will give the ball away, he will throw it
353
00:18:31,400 –> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: up for grabs. He has some great receivers that sometimes
354
00:18:34,800 –> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: make his balls end up coming down with touchdowns and
355
00:18:38,160 –> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: big plays, right God, when there’s no one to take
356
00:18:40,520 –> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: for granted, Mike Evans is nobody, Scotty Miller, those guys,
357
00:18:43,920 –> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: and obviously Antonio Brown, so they got a four pack
358
00:18:46,640 –> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: of wide receivers and really two good tight ends with
359
00:18:48,960 –> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: Grunk and Cameron Braid that can actually come down with
360
00:18:51,680 –> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: some of those fifty fifty balls. But what I believe
361
00:18:54,520 –> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: is that pressuring him up the gap, those A gaping
362
00:18:57,119 –> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: B gaps get him uncomfortable really early. That’s kind of
363
00:18:59,760 –> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: what he did early in the ballgame when we went
364
00:19:02,680 –> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: down to Tampa Bay. He just his process to me,
365
00:19:06,800 –> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: has been sped up because of pressure. He’s feeling pressure.
366
00:19:10,440 –> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: And I don’t want to say that father time has
367
00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: caught up with Tom Brady, but he is not the
368
00:19:14,920 –> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: same Tom Brady was twenty years ago when he was
369
00:19:17,520 –> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: leading that dynasty in New England. He’s a different man,
370
00:19:20,080 –> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: and I think we got to expose him for who
371
00:19:22,240 –> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: he is right now here. And when we get to
372
00:19:24,480 –> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: the super Bowl in Tampa Bay. To dovetail on your point,
373
00:19:27,240 –> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: we’re gonna throw some numbers out here. The first number
374
00:19:29,920 –> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: is I got to give credit to Matt stad our man,
375
00:19:32,840 –> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: Matt mcmulland loves churning those numbers, but he came up
376
00:19:35,920 –> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: with some good ones here. And the fact that Brady
377
00:19:38,400 –> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: this year is three and five when he is pressured
378
00:19:41,240 –> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: pressured now, and I’ll talk on sacks, it’s just, to
379
00:19:43,280 –> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: your point, pressured ten plus times, he’s three and five,
380
00:19:47,960 –> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: less than ten, he’s eleven, And oh okay, figure this out.
381
00:19:53,280 –> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: The Chiefs got to him, pressured him eleven times in
382
00:19:55,920 –> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: that game in November. And keep in mind, the Chiefs
383
00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: are going in to make at twenty four to nothing
384
00:20:01,960 –> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: at the midpoint of the second quarter. That was when
385
00:20:04,480 –> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 1: the sack strip fumble happened on Mahomes by Shack Barrett,
386
00:20:08,520 –> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: recovered by Goldston, and the game kind of flipped back
387
00:20:11,160 –> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs went at twenty seven twenty four, but
388
00:20:13,200 –> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: it was this close to being twenty four Nilski in
389
00:20:16,400 –> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: the second quarter. Here’s the other thing. When the Chiefs
390
00:20:18,960 –> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: against the pressure and the blitzeres. We know the Chiefs
391
00:20:21,680 –> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: blood to blitz all kinds of blitzes. They’re fourth in
392
00:20:24,280 –> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: the league in the number of blitzes percentage wise in
393
00:20:27,080 –> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: that game. In blitzing Brady, he was when he was
394
00:20:31,160 –> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: pressured and blitzed by Spags three of eight for twenty
395
00:20:34,119 –> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: four yards an interception on four different pressures. And that’s
396
00:20:40,240 –> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: the next gen stat taking a look at that. So
397
00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: here you go. When you look at the pressures, you
398
00:20:45,160 –> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 1: don’t have to sack it. But if you pressure him,
399
00:20:46,960 –> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: if you hurry him, things get kind of sped up
400
00:20:49,600 –> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: on him. Even the go even the guy that’s got
401
00:20:52,160 –> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: six Super Bowl championships has sown the propensity. Something good
402
00:20:55,840 –> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: can happen for the Chiefs if they pressure Brady enough. Man.
403
00:21:00,640 –> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: The one thing we realized in this game is not
404
00:21:02,680 –> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: gonna be the best offense, It’s gonna be the best team.
405
00:21:05,400 –> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: And I think the one thing about tom Brady’s legacy
406
00:21:08,119 –> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: that a lot of people sometimes forget how many times
407
00:21:11,200 –> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: has the defense rose up to win the Patriots a
408
00:21:14,440 –> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: ball game and cover a lot of the mistakes that
409
00:21:16,920 –> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: Tom Brady made during the game. I mean, the one
410
00:21:19,040 –> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: that jumps up to me is at the end of
411
00:21:21,000 –> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks game, Seattle Seahawks and Dawn by four
412
00:21:24,840 –> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: on the two yard line, throw us slant. The defense
413
00:21:27,800 –> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: comes up with this interception and they win the ball game.
414
00:21:30,640 –> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: Clean ball game by Tom Brady. That wasn’t one of
415
00:21:32,880 –> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: his best games. And then the numerous times against we
416
00:21:36,200 –> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: talk about Steve Spagnola against those Giants, right against that
417
00:21:39,920 –> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: Giants defense. This really similar to what we got going
418
00:21:42,760 –> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: on here. Wink wink. He hasn’t had his best times
419
00:21:46,920 –> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: and moments when you talk about Super Bowl against Steve Spagnova.
420
00:21:50,600 –> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: So I look for all of that stuff to come
421
00:21:52,359 –> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: to a head, all that stuff to come to the surface,
422
00:21:54,720 –> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: And like you said, I’m looking for the most exciting, energetic,
423
00:21:58,600 –> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: playing like your hair is on fire style of defense
424
00:22:01,840 –> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: and offense and special teams from our Kansas City Chiefs.
425
00:22:04,560 –> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: As we go to Tampa. Yes, it might be a
426
00:22:06,800 –> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: road game because we’re going on the road. We ain’t
427
00:22:09,240 –> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: leaving until Saturday. But we were eight and on the
428
00:22:11,640 –> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: road this year. We were better on the road than
429
00:22:13,440 –> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: we’re at home. We know how to take care of
430
00:22:14,880 –> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: business when it’s time to go. This team, when they
431
00:22:17,680 –> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: get focused, laser focused, Big Red has this guys ready
432
00:22:21,240 –> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: to go. When his guys are ready to go. There’s
433
00:22:23,840 –> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: no team, and I mean no team better than our
434
00:22:26,680 –> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs and these blitzers, these fast blitzers. Snead
435
00:22:32,040 –> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: has become an outstanding blitzer. We know Daniel Sorenson can
436
00:22:36,040 –> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: do it. The hunting Badger. When they come, it’s quick
437
00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 1: and fast, and the offensive linemen have a very difficult
438
00:22:42,440 –> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: time or even the backs to block. We’re gonna close
439
00:22:45,359 –> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: this way because it’s to me, it’s a key point
440
00:22:47,359 –> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: while we’ll stay on this defense versus Bucks offense, and
441
00:22:50,240 –> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: we’re gonna close this way because to me, Tom Brady,
442
00:22:53,080 –> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: we know how incredible his career has been. But a
443
00:22:56,720 –> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: second reason the Bucks are in this game one their defense.
444
00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: It’s taking the ball away seven times in three games two.
445
00:23:03,359 –> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: It seems like Brady’s getting back to his New England nests.
446
00:23:06,640 –> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: And here’s why I’m saying it. He has targeted Leonard Fournette,
447
00:23:10,480 –> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: the running back in the playoffs seven teen times with
448
00:23:15,320 –> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: fourteen receptions. The tight ends come by and have a
449
00:23:18,600 –> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: twenty three targets. That’s thirty seven targets to the running
450
00:23:22,119 –> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: backs and tight ends in these three playoff games. Thirty
451
00:23:25,040 –> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: one for the wide receivers. I’m with you, good wide
452
00:23:27,840 –> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: receiver Corps Evans is a red zone monster, the best
453
00:23:31,480 –> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: throwing fades corners in the red zone. Nobody’s doing it
454
00:23:34,520 –> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: better than the league. Scottie Miller had that big play.
455
00:23:36,920 –> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: He’s now, I guess the fastest player in the NFL.
456
00:23:38,960 –> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: All right, we know ab we saw it, Antonio Brown
457
00:23:41,920 –> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: and what he can do. We also know Godwin has emerged. However,
458
00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: what do we see in her shop? Because to me,
459
00:23:49,040 –> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: what I’m seeing coming back is the focus to peripheral
460
00:23:51,640 –> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: vision goes down to these sixty minutes. It’s Tom Brady
461
00:23:55,000 –> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: back to his New England days. Where are my running backs?
462
00:23:58,119 –> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Where are my tight ends? Definitely, our defense is gonna
463
00:24:01,320 –> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: be We’re gonna know what those guys are We’re gonna
464
00:24:03,240 –> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: know that he he loves to get the ball out
465
00:24:06,480 –> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: of his hand. We know that he doesn’t want pressure.
466
00:24:09,119 –> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: He doesn’t want to feel pressure. He knows that, you know,
467
00:24:11,720 –> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: getting the ball in the playmaker’s hand and letting them
468
00:24:13,600 –> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: make plays. That’s the way to maticulate and get the
469
00:24:15,720 –> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: ball down the field. And obviously their running game has
470
00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: been it’s come along in the postseason two and that
471
00:24:20,920 –> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: was something that we held them to almost non factor
472
00:24:23,480 –> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: in that first half when we played them in Week twelve.
473
00:24:25,800 –> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: So we gotta you know, like I said, our defense
474
00:24:28,760 –> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: has been been been working on things week in and
475
00:24:31,720 –> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: week out. Sometimes the things we work on on a
476
00:24:34,440 –> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: certain week didn’t match up against the other team’s offense,
477
00:24:38,000 –> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: but we knew that the process was greater than the product.
478
00:24:41,280 –> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: We wasn’t worried about that one individual game as much
479
00:24:44,440 –> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: is we have some things defensively to work on. It
480
00:24:47,680 –> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: works on trust, communication, reliability, sacrifice, all the things that
481
00:24:50,920 –> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: make you a great defense. And then when week twelve came,
482
00:24:54,160 –> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: we looked around, we knew who he was. We tightened
483
00:24:56,600 –> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: the screws. Everybody started tightening the screws. This defense guy nasty.
484
00:25:00,480 –> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: It gotting all it. It started getting pressure come playoffs.
485
00:25:03,840 –> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: The Frank Clark, the sharker was let loose. We got
486
00:25:06,240 –> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: the shark in the water. So so now this defense
487
00:25:08,920 –> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: is playing at the all time. How everybody trusts with
488
00:25:11,160 –> 00:25:13,959
Speaker 1: each other. Everybody knows has utmost confidence to each other.
489
00:25:14,200 –> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: And now when you’re an offense, yeah, you know we’re
490
00:25:17,240 –> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna bring five, maybe six, but you just don’t know
491
00:25:19,960 –> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: what five or six. Like you said, we got forty
492
00:25:21,920 –> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: line and a linebacker. We got two safeties and a nickelback.
493
00:25:26,280 –> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: Any of those eight players can come from any direction.
494
00:25:29,600 –> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: You don’t know where it’s coming. And just the idea
495
00:25:33,359 –> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: that we are bringing pressure will start to speed up
496
00:25:36,040 –> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: that that timer for Tom Brady and so, man, this
497
00:25:39,560 –> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: is gonna be a great matchup. It’s ain’t gonna be checkers.
498
00:25:42,440 –> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: It’s definitely gonna be chess. And so I can’t wait
499
00:25:44,920 –> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: to see Coach Bagnola, coach be end of me. Let’s
500

503
00:25:56,560 –> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: back to back and like uh, Frank Clark said, what
504
00:25:59,480 –> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: are you gonna do after you win back to back?
505
00:26:01,680 –> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: Go back to back to back? All right, and a
