Speaker 1: But I obviously want to take your insight and see

48
00:02:21,880 –> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: what’s coming up on the chief’s schedule. But not only him.

49
00:02:25,840 –> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: More importantly, coach Jim Reid, University of Richmond’s own more

50
00:02:30,120 –> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: legendary in the Northeast region because he was the legendary

51
00:02:33,720 –> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: coach at U MASS won so many championships up there

52
00:02:36,880 –> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: when the Atlantic ten Division was a part of it.

53
00:02:39,040 –> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Used to kick our butts when I was at Richmond,

54
00:02:40,880 –> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: but then he came. They said, you can’t beat him.

55
00:02:42,600 –> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Join him came to Richmond, was a defensive coordinated and

56
00:02:45,360 –> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: my head coach for a number of years at Richmond.

57
00:02:47,720 –> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Salute hats off to a mountain of a man. Love it.

58
00:02:52,040 –> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: I got a couple this week that are fun. Uh. One,

59
00:02:54,560 –> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, I’m from Smith Center, kans but They have

60
00:02:59,600 –> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: big hailgates there. It’s great high school football. It’s the

61
00:03:01,960 –> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: best small school high school football league in the state

62
00:03:04,720 –> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: of Kansas. Of course, they’ve won ten state titles there.

63
00:03:07,480 –> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: But I found out that they prepared the tailgate. It

64
00:03:11,160 –> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: was Landmark implement and they were listening in Washington defending

65
00:03:14,639 –> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 1: the Kingdom whether flipping burgers and do not dogs from

66
00:03:16,919 –> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: the trail gate. So hey take defending the Kingdom to

67
00:03:19,800 –> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: yours hailgate. The other one was really cool because Pine Reach,

68
00:03:22,880 –> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: South Dakota. They were putting together a playground. It’s the

69
00:03:25,960 –> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: Where Angels Play Foundation. So sometimes you get down a

70
00:03:29,360 –> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: rabbit hole, it gets kind of crazy. This rabbit hole

71
00:03:31,680 –> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: is good to go down. Find I go to a

72
00:03:33,960 –> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: search engine and find where Angels Play Foundation. They have

73
00:03:36,560 –> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: done playgrounds all over the world. They’ve done them out

74
00:03:39,360 –> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: of Tara, Canada and Rwanda. Here’s how they started. Remember

75
00:03:42,400 –> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: the terrible tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut

76
00:03:46,080 –> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: back in twenty twelve, twenty eight children were killed in

77
00:03:49,600 –> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: teachers they started a program where they would build a

78
00:03:53,720 –> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: playgrounds to memorialize those kids and teachers that were lost.

79
00:03:58,400 –> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: That’s how it started. Now that’s going on to places

80
00:04:01,480 –> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: like Rwanda that they were doing it with the Ogalala

81
00:04:05,520 –> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Lakota Sue tribe that has a brand new playground put

82
00:04:08,480 –> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: together by the Way Angels play foundation. Man, we talk

83
00:04:10,800 –> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: about protecting your village and what an amazing village program

84
00:04:15,000 –> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: has adopted. They adopted not only their backyard, but the nation,

85
00:04:18,560 –> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: but the world, the world right worldwide. Such an appreciation

86
00:04:22,440 –> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: to a group like that for such a just a

87
00:04:25,839 –> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it warms your heart to know it is. Um,

88
00:04:28,920 –> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: they’ve been able to make a positive impact off such

89
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: a traumatic event. And what do they listened to and

90
00:04:35,040 –> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: watch during breaks while they’re on these playground jobs defending

91
00:04:39,279 –> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: the kingdom? These are chiefs fans that actually are centered

92
00:04:42,560 –> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: in New Jersey that love the Chiefs. All right, let’s

93
00:04:45,080 –> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: jump into this episode of defending the Kingdom. Uh, And

94
00:04:48,160 –> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: we’re calling it to blitz or not to blitz. So

95
00:04:50,120 –> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: we’re bringing in Shakespeare. We’re bringing in the wisdom of

96
00:04:52,720 –> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: your father Smoke Barberum, you’ve we just lost him the

97
00:04:57,520 –> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: last fall, but we’re bringing in Smoke here because as

98
00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: we want to talk about, when is it proper to

99
00:05:02,279 –> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: blitz er not to blitch? And why do we bring

100
00:05:04,080 –> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: it up this week because to me, it is the

101
00:05:06,320 –> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: story of the Ravens Chiefs game on Sunday Night Football.

102
00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: No team has blutched more than the Baltimore Ravens over

103
00:05:13,240 –> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: the past for seasons. What do you think it when

104
00:05:16,560 –> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: you’re here? Blitz er, not blitz but the first person

105
00:05:18,520 –> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: that comes up to your mind is there decordinating right

106
00:05:20,880 –> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: wink Martindale. He is a tremendous blitz architect. He builds

107
00:05:26,880 –> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: a blitz package. Is so hard to know where he’s

108
00:05:29,040 –> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: coming from, who he’s bringing, and how often he’s bringing it,

109
00:05:32,480 –> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: And a lot of time when he’s not bringing pressure,

110
00:05:34,600 –> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: it almost feels like he is because he wants to

111
00:05:36,960 –> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: speed up the quarterbacks internal clock. And so when the

112
00:05:40,520 –> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: blitz and when not the blitz, I mean again, against

113
00:05:42,839 –> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: a guy like Pat Mahomes, it’s almost no great opportunity,

114
00:05:45,600 –> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: no great time, no great moment or situation in the

115
00:05:48,120 –> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: game that’s going to be advantageous to a defense to

116
00:05:50,440 –> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: blitz because he has enough elusiveness to just get that

117
00:05:54,680 –> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: extra step, got one extra click to allow his offensive

118
00:05:57,760 –> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: guy to beat your coverage and then hey, it’s a

119
00:06:00,880 –> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: big play either for the defense or the offense. That’s

120
00:06:03,360 –> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: the thing about the blitz package, you understand it’s gonna

121
00:06:05,680 –> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: be a big play. So he is gonna be a

122
00:06:07,320 –> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: sack that sets up a second or third and long,

123
00:06:09,440 –> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: or it’s gonna be a first day on or a touchdown.

124
00:06:11,600 –> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: And you gotta have the right guys, the right dudes

125
00:06:14,560 –> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: on that back end to allow yourself to blitz and

126
00:06:17,279 –> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: and and leave those cornerbacks and safeties uncovered. But then

127
00:06:21,040 –> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: you also have the right guys up front. They can

128
00:06:23,000 –> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: actually get there against one on one and so the

129
00:06:25,440 –> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: blitz and not the blitz. Hey man, it’s like, uh

130
00:06:28,320 –> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: six or half a dozen? Which one do you want?

131
00:06:30,760 –> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: Wink of Martindale And I respect him, he’s been around

132
00:06:33,200 –> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: the league a long time. But wasn’t that like a

133
00:06:34,720 –> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: game show host? What’s just that? Like like Drew Carry

134
00:06:38,200 –> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: or Steve Harvey back in the day. It’s like with

135
00:06:40,200 –> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: the big long microphone wake of Martindale’s and he’s coordinating

136
00:06:43,640 –> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: the Baltimore defense. But your point about Mahomes is a

137
00:06:46,440 –> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: good one. In fact, looking it up, Mahomes last year

138
00:06:49,839 –> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: he had a blitz a quarterback rating against the Blitz

139
00:06:52,800 –> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: of one thirty four point five That was the best

140
00:06:55,520 –> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: by any quarterback in five seasons. So it’s like Calf

141
00:07:00,360 –> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: does it. Well, maybe maybe it’s a whole dozen eggs

142
00:07:02,600 –> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: because he almost like wants you to blitch the process

143
00:07:06,680 –> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: of a quarterback when we talk about how to dissect

144
00:07:09,279 –> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the blitzes. First of all, you have to realize where

145
00:07:11,320 –> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: they’re coming from, who’s coming and do you have enough

146
00:07:14,160 –> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: blockers to account for it. Those are things that the

147
00:07:16,520 –> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have to make a split second adjustment and decision

148
00:07:20,920 –> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: upun And then you have to know how your offensive

149
00:07:23,200 –> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: play matches up against the defense to know where you’re

150
00:07:25,680 –> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball. What makes Pat Mahomes so special,

151
00:07:28,720 –> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: everybody can say it’s the way his central processing unit

152
00:07:32,360 –> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: that’s CPU right, it works on a whole different level.

153
00:07:35,920 –> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: He’s been at five G for his whole lifetime when

154
00:07:38,680 –> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: it comes to processing defenses and coverages and things like that,

155
00:07:42,200 –> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: and being able to have the arm, talent and mobility

156
00:07:45,240 –> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: to get the ball there from any arm slots off

157
00:07:48,720 –> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: your back foot. He doesn’t need to step up and

158
00:07:50,720 –> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: climb the pocket to deliver the ball sixty yards down

159
00:07:53,320 –> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: the field. As we saw from last Sunday, that is

160
00:07:55,640 –> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: a it’s an amazingly challenging situation for any defense to

161
00:07:59,800 –> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: being and he makes you pay. When you blitz and

162
00:08:02,400 –> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: don’t get there, your defense will pay to back up

163
00:08:05,880 –> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: your point. He was the second least blitz quarterback in

164
00:08:08,880 –> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: the last half of the season last year, and when

165
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: you saw it in the playoffs or Super Bowl fifty five,

166
00:08:13,320 –> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: they weren’t gonna blitz him. Todd Bowles loves the blitz.

167
00:08:15,920 –> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: He’s like, I’m just gonna get my animals to rush

168
00:08:18,360 –> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: four and then I’m gonna drop seven into coverage. Against

169
00:08:21,920 –> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: the Browns, I counted sixty one snaps. They blitzed him

170
00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: only twelve times, like they couldn’t help themselves. But when

171
00:08:28,120 –> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: they did, he had a twenty two yarder to Tyreek Hill.

172
00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: The seventy five yarder is a blitz where they’re tired

173
00:08:34,120 –> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: of getting Kelsey to eating them up and they’re like,

174
00:08:36,240 –> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: let’s give it a shot, and then he makes that play.

175
00:08:38,760 –> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: So but here are the Ravens like this is what

176
00:08:41,520 –> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: we do? Yeah, yeah, And that to me is the

177
00:08:44,400 –> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: crux of this game. What would the Ravens do and

178
00:08:47,559 –> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: come homes continue to do his magic against it. Pride,

179
00:08:50,360 –> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: as you know, they say, pride comes before the fall,

180
00:08:53,440 –> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: and so before the fall in the Ravens will come

181
00:08:55,840 –> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: there pride and you got to either stand for something

182
00:08:58,240 –> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: or you’ll fall for everything. And then the Ravens game

183
00:09:01,360 –> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: in and game out throughout the season, they’ve always stood

184
00:09:03,640 –> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: behind their pressure package. They’ve been able to blitz everybody

185
00:09:06,520 –> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: get there. They even though you give up some big plays,

186
00:09:09,240 –> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: they feel like the possession it gets them the ball back.

187
00:09:11,880 –> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: They have this amazing run game. They can eat up

188
00:09:13,880 –> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: the clock, they can limit your possessions due to their

189
00:09:16,559 –> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: offense being uh so uh so good at just maintaining

190
00:09:21,720 –> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: and possessing the ball. That has been their mantra. But

191
00:09:24,920 –> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: they’ve had some great pass rushers, they had a great

192
00:09:27,360 –> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: D line, great Patrick Queen, great linebackers. They’ve been able

193
00:09:30,920 –> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: to be a part of that corp over and over.

194
00:09:33,000 –> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: Losing Justin Peters on the back end, that’s a I mean, say,

195
00:09:37,760 –> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: he has some good and bagged qualities, but he’s a

196
00:09:40,080 –> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: tremendous asset to be able to go mano a mano

197
00:09:43,480 –> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: against almost any wide receiving this league. And for him

198
00:09:46,520 –> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: to be lost for the season, Um, maybe they just

199
00:09:49,880 –> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: have an adjusted right. Um. You talked about last week

200
00:09:52,640 –> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: against a Monday night against the Raiders, US It’s gonna

201
00:09:55,679 –> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: be gonna be tricky to see what they do, who

202
00:09:59,040 –> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: they match up against, and how can they steal design

203
00:10:01,960 –> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: and develop some sort of pressure package against weapons like

204
00:10:06,640 –> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: the Cheetah, Kelsey even m de robbing the other guys.

205
00:10:10,720 –> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: We got, we got Pringo, we got, we got, we

206
00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: have so many weapons to come at him. It’s hard

207
00:10:14,600 –> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: for me to believe you’re gonna leave any of those

208
00:10:16,320 –> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: guys on Alan when you know that the advantage goes

209
00:10:20,240 –> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs. I’m gonna further ask you more on this.

210
00:10:23,960 –> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: Just a couple other notes on Mahomes against the Blitz,

211
00:10:26,320 –> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: which is crazy. His average play nine point one against

212
00:10:31,200 –> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: the Blitz since twenty eighteen. That’s the best in the

213
00:10:33,960 –> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: NFL by far. His passer rating against the Blitz since

214
00:10:37,800 –> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen became the main starter best in the National

215
00:10:41,520 –> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: Football League. And to your point we mentioned this is

216
00:10:44,559 –> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: what Baltimore does, This is what Wick Martindale does. Last

217
00:10:47,480 –> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: year they had a game to Baltimore Ravens where they

218
00:10:50,320 –> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: had five different defensive backs that got a sack that

219
00:10:55,920 –> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: had never happened in the history of the National Football

220
00:10:58,440 –> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: League in one hundred and one years. Five different dbs,

221
00:11:01,880 –> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: but you already mentioned Marcus Peters is out for the year.

222
00:11:05,000 –> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: They didn’t have Jimmy Smith against the Raiders either, so

223
00:11:07,720 –> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: now you’ve got some young guys. You still got Marlon Humphrey,

224
00:11:10,000 –> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: a really good player. Those safeties are good, but I

225
00:11:12,160 –> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: feel like they’re better blitzers and cover guys, and all

226
00:11:15,040 –> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they just continue to do what they do.

227
00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: We’re just gonna keep, you know, full throttle, and we’re

228
00:11:19,440 –> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: gonna bring them bringing six, bringing seven. But I almost

229
00:11:22,720 –> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: could argue it lost the game for him because it

230
00:11:24,720 –> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: puts some guys in situations that gave the Raiders opportunities

231
00:11:27,960 –> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: I’m not sure they’re gonna have if you didn’t just

232
00:11:30,160 –> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: go all out crazy, blizz Man. The process is the process,

233
00:11:33,320 –> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: and I think that they feel like they have a

234
00:11:35,280 –> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: better chance coming after you than sitting back and playing

235
00:11:39,440 –> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: vanilla type defense. Obviously, you can’t display cover three and

236
00:11:42,480 –> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: cover two against Pat Mahomes. He’ll eat that up for lunch, dinner,

237
00:11:45,640 –> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: and breakfast every day of the week. But you think

238
00:11:48,400 –> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: you gotta do some things creative, You’re gonna have to

239
00:11:50,520 –> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: do some things with that defensive front. Those linebackers, like

240
00:11:52,880 –> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: you said, you’re gonna have to bring secondary guys to

241
00:11:55,480 –> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: create some some some looks of pressure, even though you’re

242
00:11:59,120 –> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: still having seven guys in coverage. Maybe you drop an

243
00:12:02,160 –> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: in and bring a corner off the edge. And a

244
00:12:04,240 –> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: lot of that is based off of our offensive personnel

245
00:12:06,720 –> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: and how we lined up. If we line up with

246
00:12:08,760 –> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: tight ends and slide receivers too close to the box,

247
00:12:11,520 –> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: well that allows a corner of safety to act like

248
00:12:13,559 –> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: he’s in coverage but still come maybe a delayed blitz,

249
00:12:16,600 –> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: a delayed rush. Different creativity things like that creates pressure.

250
00:12:20,320 –> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: And you’re hoping that you’re creating pressure that Pat Mahomes

251
00:12:22,960 –> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: isn’t ready for. But then again that becomes Pat Mahomes

252
00:12:26,520 –> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: has a photographic memory. He’s been watching so much for him.

253
00:12:29,559 –> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: He knows these Ravens. It’s a reason he’s been so

254
00:12:32,400 –> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: successful against the Ravens. So since he’s been in the league,

255
00:12:35,160 –> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: he’s seen all the looks, he knows all the variations,

256
00:12:38,120 –> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: and it’s so hard to trick him and get him

257
00:12:40,240 –> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: off his game, and it’s just not done often. And

258
00:12:43,240 –> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: even you do do it for the first half, well

259
00:12:45,160 –> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: we got a half time to go in and talk

260
00:12:46,520 –> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: about it and rediscover it. He only needs a good

261
00:12:49,000 –> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: quarter to put up twenty four twenty one points. And

262
00:12:51,679 –> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: if you don’t have a great enough league and you

263
00:12:53,240 –> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: can’t possess the ball, keep it out of Pat’s hands.

264
00:12:56,800 –> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: It’s always, always has been so far a recipe for Zast.

265
00:13:00,960 –> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: Part of the reason the Ravens have been the best

266
00:13:03,280 –> 00:13:06,119
Speaker 1: blitching team, and you alluded to it. They’ve had superior personnel.

267
00:13:06,240 –> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: They don’t have Mad Judon anymore. But they got away.

268
00:13:08,960 –> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: They used the trade. We got Orlando Brown Junior from them. Uh,

269
00:13:13,200 –> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: it’s the thirty first pick. They use it on a

270
00:13:15,040 –> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: guy that is a kind of a Blitzer guy. Even

271
00:13:17,040 –> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: though he didn’t have a sack as last year at

272
00:13:18,400 –> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Penn State, he got a sack in the game against

273
00:13:20,480 –> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Their bigs are good. Calais Campbell is still there,

274
00:13:24,040 –> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: dudes a moose. Uh. And then you look at Derek Wolfe,

275
00:13:26,960 –> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: he’s Moose number two. And then you’ve got Justin Houston

276
00:13:30,360 –> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: now in there with so edge. He’s gonna have an edge.

277
00:13:32,559 –> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: You know he’s gonna come. He’s gonna cos he’s gonna

278
00:13:34,800 –> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: have a little bit of an acta ground against the

279
00:13:37,720 –> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: cancer the cheese. But you look forward to that, who

280
00:13:40,080 –> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: doesn’t have a xta ground against the Chiefs. How successful

281
00:13:42,400 –> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: that we’ve been over the last few years. Right, And

282
00:13:44,360 –> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: so when when you when you when you find yourself

283
00:13:46,360 –> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: being not a part of what is going on here,

284
00:13:48,600 –> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: not a part of the package, whatever direction the chief

285
00:13:51,280 –> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: team has gone, and you decide that, you know, justin Houston,

286
00:13:54,160 –> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 1: you’re not really part of the future. We commend you,

287
00:13:56,559 –> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: and we think for everything you’ve done for the Chief’s Kingdom,

288
00:13:58,920 –> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: you’re part of the foundation, but you do not part

289
00:14:01,040 –> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: at a future. For him to feel like he had

290
00:14:03,240 –> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more left in the tank, Oh, we’re

291
00:14:05,200 –> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 1: gonna get every bit of every ounce of gas he

292
00:14:07,679 –> 00:14:09,959
Speaker 1: got left in Tank’s gonna be released on Sunday against

293
00:14:09,960 –> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and we’re gonna have to block him. An

294
00:14:11,960 –> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: interesting thing. He usually lines up on the right side

295
00:14:15,000 –> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: of the Ravens defense. Orlando Brown Junior, the former Raven

296
00:14:19,200 –> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: We’ll have to block him some a lot in this game.

297
00:14:22,840 –> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: But you mentioned Queen. I love Queen coming out of

298
00:14:24,920 –> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: VLAs shoes a linebacker. He had a middle gap blitz

299
00:14:27,520 –> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: that was out standing against the Raiders. It was like

300
00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: one Nope, gone dead plays dead. But let’s bring up

301
00:14:34,600 –> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: the point of the Chiefs young offensive line here, let’s

302
00:14:36,680 –> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: flip it back now to the Red and gold side.

303
00:14:39,000 –> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: I really like what they did in the middle of

304
00:14:41,440 –> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: picking up a gap blitzes against the Browns. I thought

305
00:14:44,080 –> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: they did an excellent job. Patrick talked about a Monday

306
00:14:46,920 –> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Night show Kingdom show that I did with him. He’s

307
00:14:49,040 –> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: worked so hard on pocket presents, stepping up into the pocket.

308
00:14:52,400 –> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: Trust is going to pick those up. But how much?

309
00:14:55,040 –> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: Because the Ravens do bring Calculus three in blitzing to

310
00:14:58,760 –> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: a young offensive line, do they want to play some

311
00:15:01,320 –> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: mind games and kind of mind jack those guys in

312
00:15:03,800 –> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: the middle and try to get some of those an

313
00:15:05,760 –> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: B get blitzer. So it’s multiple ways you can pick

314
00:15:08,680 –> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: up blitzes and pressures. But what you want to do

315
00:15:11,240 –> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: is either decided it’s going to be a big on

316
00:15:12,760 –> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: B where our line is picking up their D line,

317
00:15:15,160 –> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: or you’re gonna slide the protection, which means we start

318
00:15:17,320 –> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: the center. He counts to Mike and if you’re my guard,

319
00:15:19,880 –> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: you got the next guy beside the mic, you’ve my tackle.

320
00:15:22,480 –> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: You got the third guy out, and we just count

321
00:15:24,560 –> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: them off one, two, three, and then we got those five.

322
00:15:27,120 –> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: Anybody else has come. That’s the running back tight ends

323
00:15:29,400 –> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: position to pick up. So it’s two different ways to

324
00:15:31,520 –> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: do it, slide protection or man on man, and how

325
00:15:34,800 –> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: we choose to do it has to do it how

326
00:15:36,840 –> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: much time we need for Pat to have back there.

327
00:15:38,840 –> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: Obviously in a man on man type things, it’s a

328
00:15:42,680 –> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: little bit easier to have those one on ones get beat,

329
00:15:45,160 –> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: get immediate pressure on the quarterback. But usually when you

330
00:15:47,680 –> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: slide sometimes they don’t bring enough. And now we got

331
00:15:50,240 –> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: some free guys that can go help and that that

332
00:15:52,280 –> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: seems to create a little bit longer, a little bit

333
00:15:55,520 –> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: longer time clock for Pat to get rid of the ball.

334
00:15:57,960 –> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: And in Baltimore does it both ways. They bring a

335
00:16:00,520 –> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: lot of pressure up those a gaps like we saw

336
00:16:02,720 –> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: from m Queen against the Raiders. Um, and that that’s

337
00:16:05,400 –> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: gonna test Creed Humphries right as a center. Um, he’s

338
00:16:08,080 –> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna set the coverage, he’s gonna set the protection, and

339
00:16:10,560 –> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: he has to be able to work pass guys off,

340
00:16:13,960 –> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: work combo protection blocks. And when he’s free, he’s gonna

341
00:16:16,880 –> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: have to clean up the clean they called clean the

342
00:16:18,560 –> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: pocket up. Sometimes when a defensive line is sitting there

343
00:16:20,960 –> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: trying to get his hands on the ball, it’s not good.

344
00:16:23,600 –> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: You gotta clean them up. You gotta, of course, that

345
00:16:25,440 –> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: got to keep his hands down so that we can

346
00:16:27,240 –> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: complete passes. So our offensive line is gonna be challenged early.

347
00:16:30,400 –> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: But these these these guys are young and hungry, and

348
00:16:33,040 –> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: they’ve been asking are I think over and over since

349
00:16:35,440 –> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: training camp. Keep giving us, keep feeding us, feed us

350
00:16:38,640 –> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: more and more and more and more so that we

351
00:16:40,280 –> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: can go out there and produce and put up. We

352
00:16:42,360 –> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: put up the third, third or fourth. Only two or

353
00:16:44,480 –> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: three teams scored more points than we, And I think

354
00:16:46,520 –> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: that a lot of people thought we struggled, right, We

355
00:16:48,760 –> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: struggled off. We wasn’t really clicking on all on all pistons,

356
00:16:53,240 –> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: but we still end up in the top five and

357
00:16:54,800 –> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: scoring each week. So um, it’s gonna be so hard

358
00:16:58,040 –> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: to think that there’s any defensive scheme it’s gonna do

359
00:17:00,840 –> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: anything besides maybe you know, be more of a speed

360
00:17:03,400 –> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: but for the Chiefs rather than actually stop Pat mahomes

361
00:17:06,359 –> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 1: in our offense. Talking about cleaning up the pocket, one

362
00:17:09,160 –> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: of the things I kind of like to see is

363
00:17:10,600 –> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: tray Smith clean up the pocket, because what he’ll do

364
00:17:13,040 –> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs rookie right guard, he’ll put you in the

365
00:17:15,440 –> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: garbage disposal and turn on the switch and pocket is clean,

366
00:17:20,359 –> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: and you’re just kind of like a bit of ash.

367
00:17:22,760 –> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: I knew what player you’re talking about, Like that one.

368
00:17:25,080 –> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: You were a lineback. You were a lineback, you were

369
00:17:27,520 –> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: a linebacker. You didn’t like it. He ear hold that dude,

370
00:17:30,640 –> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: ear holding the Pat Mahomes scrambled for the touchdown. If

371
00:17:33,359 –> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: you ain’t seen it, watch it. The last block at

372
00:17:36,119 –> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: the gold line tray Smith he disposal guilloteam. He took

373
00:17:42,359 –> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 1: the guy’s head, all the guy. The guys laying on

374
00:17:44,440 –> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: the ground throwing up imaginary flag. I thought it was

375
00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: the white flag. He was like, it’s over, I’m done.

376
00:17:49,240 –> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: Take me, bring the cart out here, scrape me up

377
00:17:52,119 –> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: off the field. A mac truck just hit me and

378
00:17:54,560 –> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I don’t know the license plate. I don’t know anything

379
00:17:56,320 –> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: else about it, but it was amazing. Let’s spring a

380
00:18:00,080 –> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: couple of footballly nerd things here. Because you talked about, hey,

381
00:18:02,720 –> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: I’m gonna block the third guy over so many times

382
00:18:05,720 –> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: people are saved. Why it’s the quarterback pointing to that guy, Well,

383
00:18:08,800 –> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: he’s identifying the mic. How much of your counting system

384
00:18:11,920 –> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: here is I’m gonna identify forty four? Is the mic?

385
00:18:15,080 –> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: Forty four is the mic. Now, all of a sudden,

386
00:18:17,000 –> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: the line does their protection based on the scheme you’ve

387
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: got called off the counting system. But my beacon of

388
00:18:22,760 –> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: counting is off that whomever the quarterback dictates count off

389
00:18:26,240 –> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: this guy. And that’s why everybody has to be on

390
00:18:28,080 –> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: the same page. And it’s not even you don’t want

391
00:18:30,400 –> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: to be on your your your page if you think

392
00:18:32,320 –> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: it’s right. If everybody sees things through Pet’s eyes, see

393
00:18:36,320 –> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: see it the way Pat sees it. If they got

394
00:18:38,119 –> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: a stack alignment, then the guy the line is the

395
00:18:40,560 –> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: next number, right, it’s not the guy coming off the line,

396
00:18:43,240 –> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: so that’s gonna be zero, zero, one, two three. Don’t

397
00:18:46,400 –> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: don’t get it mixed up and leave a free hitter.

398
00:18:48,440 –> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 1: See it through Pet’s eyes, however, he wants we watch

399
00:18:50,960 –> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: them together, Pat, how do you see this defense? Looking

400
00:18:53,440 –> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: all right? That’s my zero. Like you said, forty four

401
00:18:55,280 –> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: is zero, So that means the dts are ones and

402
00:18:57,920 –> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: then the two linebackers the twos ends threes. Okay, let’s

403
00:19:00,920 –> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: go run protection boom. Well, how about that guy stacks?

404
00:19:04,080 –> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 1: What if they stack, Let’s go ahead and slide right.

405
00:19:05,960 –> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Let’s let’s simplify it. If they do too many movements

406
00:19:09,320 –> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: and knives and edges and ets and tes, all these

407
00:19:12,200 –> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: different types of stunts. Well, we’re just gonna slide the protection,

408
00:19:14,560 –> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: buy me extra second, and we’re gonna make them pay

409
00:19:16,520 –> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: with a double move. That’s how it’s done each and

410
00:19:19,160 –> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 1: every play every week as we prepare for a different team,

411
00:19:23,400 –> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: a different defense, it’s all about seeing things. Coach the

412
00:19:26,520 –> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: enemy coach read they see things through Pat’s eyes because

413
00:19:29,760 –> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: he calls it and sees it. That’s how you execute

414
00:19:32,000 –> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: and you want these young offensive linemen now are gonna

415
00:19:34,200 –> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: face the best blitching team in the NFL, the count

416
00:19:36,920 –> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: three blitzers I call them, of the Baltimore Ravens. To

417
00:19:39,800 –> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: see it through Pat’s eye. Make sure that counting system

418
00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 1: is good on who’s the zero, who’s the beacon? Who

419
00:19:45,040 –> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: do we set our time off of our blocking numbering system?

420
00:19:49,119 –> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: All right, Okay, let’s go to the other side of

421
00:19:51,960 –> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: you being a defensive player. Okay, I know we horrified

422
00:19:54,840 –> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: you with the ear whole shot by Trey Smith and

423
00:19:57,200 –> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: talking about garbage disposals. You play defense in this league

424
00:20:01,040 –> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 1: for ten years. When I ask you about this week

425
00:20:03,200 –> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: or let’s talk about blitzing in this game, because I

426
00:20:05,359 –> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: think it’s the biggest thing of this game. Your eyes

427
00:20:08,160 –> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: lit up. What about let’s talk about what makes a

428
00:20:11,840 –> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: good blitzing team. Why have the ravens other than the personnel.

429
00:20:15,920 –> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: And they’ve got a lot of new personnel here. They’re

430
00:20:17,640 –> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna trying to figure this out just for their injuries

431
00:20:20,119 –> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: and the salary cap and such. I mean, they can’t

432
00:20:22,080 –> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: page Matt jude On all right, So what makes a

433
00:20:25,720 –> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: good blitzing team with even personnel wall it talks about.

434
00:20:29,119 –> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: First of all, it’s you said it first, it’s personnel.

435
00:20:31,520 –> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: You got to have the ends in the corners to

436
00:20:34,080 –> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: be able to bring pressure. You gotta have the ends

437
00:20:36,080 –> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: that can get there, and then the corners that can

438
00:20:38,160 –> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: reroute and stay with these receivers. That’s that’s the basic

439
00:20:40,960 –> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: first priority of any Bliss package. Make sure you get

440
00:20:43,320 –> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: some solid Russians and make sure you get cornerbacks to

441
00:20:46,280 –> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: have great feed to camera and they can run and

442
00:20:50,840 –> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: make plays on the ball down the field. After that,

443
00:20:53,280 –> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: it becomes a little bit of a chess, little cat

444
00:20:56,160 –> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: and mouse game, because you have to work at the skies.

445
00:20:59,240 –> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: You have to make something look like something else in

446
00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: order to make that quarterback hold the ball. Just one

447
00:21:04,320 –> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: extra second. The way these quarterbacks have been trained in

448
00:21:07,840 –> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: all the film study the offensive, everybody knows what everybody

449
00:21:11,560 –> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: does now. So you gotta make your blitz cover one

450
00:21:15,080 –> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: look like cover zero. You gotta make your cover zero

451
00:21:17,240 –> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: looks like three deep. You gotta make your three deep

452
00:21:19,160 –> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: look like you’re bringing pressure. And the Ravens will do

453
00:21:21,600 –> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: it over and over again. Where they have eight guys

454
00:21:23,560 –> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage, you only got five to block.

455
00:21:26,560 –> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: You bring a running back, you bring a tight end,

456
00:21:28,680 –> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: that’s seven. They still got one more. So you have to,

457
00:21:32,800 –> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 1: through film study, figure out what these guys. There’s some tendency,

458
00:21:36,800 –> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: whether a guy has his feet in the wrong position,

459
00:21:39,359 –> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: or the way a guy’s a yard or two outside

460
00:21:42,000 –> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage, there’s something they’re giving away

461
00:21:44,800 –> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: where you can determine who’s coming and who’s not. And

462
00:21:47,240 –> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: even when you don’t determine that and there is a

463
00:21:49,160 –> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: free hitter, you have to have a person at the

464
00:21:50,600 –> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 1: quarterback position they can acknowledge that and know he has

465
00:21:54,240 –> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ball. Sometimes one of the

466
00:21:56,080 –> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: best players in football is an incomplete pass. You don’t

467
00:21:59,400 –> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: take the sack, You live one another down and you

468
00:22:02,400 –> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: let you wait for the next time they showed that

469
00:22:04,040 –> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: same look, and then you make them pay. And I

470
00:22:06,600 –> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: think that’s the maturation process we’re seeing right now. And

471
00:22:09,400 –> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, I think from twenty eighteen to now that

472
00:22:13,320 –> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: very thing and it continues to progress. He’s not there.

473
00:22:16,520 –> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: It’s not a finished product, he admits it. But at

474
00:22:18,600 –> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: that very fact is what we’re seeing. Patrick do better.

475
00:22:21,320 –> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: Just throw it. It’s incomplete. You got a second and

476
00:22:23,760 –> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 1: ten bother you. It don’t bother a third and ten

477
00:22:25,720 –> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: bother Mahomes. It didn’t bother him, And when he sees

478
00:22:28,280 –> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: it again, that memory kicks in. But going back to

479
00:22:33,280 –> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: let’s tuck when blitzes don’t work, and when they don’t work,

480
00:22:36,800 –> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, you talk about risk reward and again

481
00:22:40,200 –> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders lost or won the game, and

482
00:22:42,359 –> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: the Ravens lost the game because of the fact that

483
00:22:44,960 –> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 1: Derek Carr saught. It’s gonna be cover zero. Man, this

484
00:22:47,760 –> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: is a blitz zero and I got trips over here.

485
00:22:50,440 –> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: If I just bump Humphrey enough, which they did, I

486
00:22:53,600 –> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: have forty yards of the field to throw to them.

487
00:22:56,119 –> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: I can, dude. It’s just like the Patrick Mahomes played

488
00:22:58,480 –> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: at Tyreek hell. When I hard, I’m like, what are

489
00:23:00,840 –> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: the Ravens doing? They just handed the game to him. Man.

490
00:23:04,080 –> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: It always happens when you say in some of the

491
00:23:05,960 –> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 1: most critical moments, because I believe that there is that

492
00:23:08,520 –> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: mentality of the last thing I want you to do

493
00:23:10,960 –> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: is be able to continue to hold the ball and

494
00:23:13,080 –> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: wait for receivers to uncover. When it’s when it’s a

495
00:23:15,720 –> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: duo die dawn, when it’s a crucial third d down

496
00:23:17,760 –> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: and crucial driving the game, you just want you want

497
00:23:19,920 –> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: to make that quarterbacks internal time just pick up. You

498
00:23:23,240 –> 00:23:25,199
Speaker 1: want him to deliver the ball before he’s ready. That

499
00:23:25,320 –> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: helps the defense to make plays. And then you also

500
00:23:27,720 –> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: want to create a situation where he’s not so sure

501
00:23:30,760 –> 00:23:33,159
Speaker 1: about what you’re doing defensively. You want to create that

502
00:23:33,240 –> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: little bit of that doubt, right that that lack of

503
00:23:36,119 –> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: trust that the guys are going to pick up the

504
00:23:38,680 –> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: blitzers the way we did it in practice, and when

505
00:23:41,440 –> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: you start seeing those goals, I mean that that that

506
00:23:43,840 –> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: can cause a lot of confusion itself. When you talk

507
00:23:46,040 –> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: about how our offense produces and products and has a

508
00:23:50,160 –> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: has an ability to be as fishing as possible. When

509
00:23:52,960 –> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: you talk about getting the ball down the field. Another

510
00:23:56,520 –> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: one of the child for bletching teams in the NFL’s

511
00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: are Kansas City Chiefs. But that’s our whole other episode

512
00:24:01,440 –> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: because we can go to the chief side of this

513
00:24:03,240 –> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: equation and what Spags does with this blitzing. But we’re

514
00:24:06,240 –> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna watch the next several weeks and we’ll jump back

515
00:24:08,800 –> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: in with you to do another defending the kingdom on

516
00:24:11,640 –> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: that one. But we brought some Shakespeare into this show.

517
00:24:14,960 –> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: To blitz or to not the blitz? That is the

518
00:24:17,400 –> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 1: question into me shop. I am really interested to see

519
00:24:19,920 –> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: what will happen Sunday night in that very regard. Man,

520
00:24:22,800 –> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: It’s one question, do you want to be the hammer

521
00:24:24,560 –> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: or do you want to be to nail? So blitz
