11
00:00:34,400 –> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: this podcast. One is take a look at this upcoming

12
00:00:38,680 –> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: chapter one of the twenty twenty one part of the Rivalry. Two,

13
00:00:42,560 –> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: look at some big games in our memory between these

14
00:00:46,400 –> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: two teams. And then look at a couple games that

15
00:00:48,600 –> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: we want to forget. But we have to remember that

16
00:00:50,520 –> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: doesn’t make any sense. But it’s not a rivalry if

17
00:00:52,960 –> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: there’s not some pain, you understand that. If it’s a

18
00:00:55,560 –> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: real rivalry, there’s ecstasy and there’s pain. But I will

19
00:00:59,160 –> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: say this. We are brought to you by the great

20

Speaker 1: since ninety one, he’s seen a whole lot of stuff,

56
00:02:54,320 –> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: not all good. But anyway, let’s jump in now to

57
00:02:56,520 –> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: this Chiefs Raders week. Let’s take the current version of

58
00:03:00,840 –> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: this matchup and shop. I’ll start with you a little bit.

59
00:03:03,400 –> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: This Raiders team is shedding at five and three. Man,

60
00:03:06,560 –> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: they have been either hot or cold. They’re just not

61
00:03:08,680 –> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: much middle with these guys. Man. I’ve been calling Raiders

62
00:03:11,280 –> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: the fool’s goal of the league since the beginning of

63
00:03:13,440 –> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: the year. A couple of really tricky last minute wins

64
00:03:18,040 –> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: by field goal, overtime stuff like that, just catching teams

65
00:03:21,760 –> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: on the on then off day. But obviously a win

66
00:03:24,040 –> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: is a winning They’re hard to come by in the NFL,

67
00:03:25,840 –> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: so um you know that their record is five and three.

68
00:03:28,440 –> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: They’re leading right now at the AFC West and they

69
00:03:31,120 –> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: need to play like that. They need They’ve been playing

70
00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: okay ball, turning the ball over way too much, too many,

71
00:03:35,720 –> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: too of these normal raided way of playing. It’s it’s

72
00:03:39,640 –> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: like a system of organized confusion, and that’s kind of

73
00:03:42,480 –> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: their norm. It’s kind of like they play best when

74
00:03:45,080 –> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: things are highly penalized, a lot of confusion going on,

75
00:03:50,960 –> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers. That that’s the nature of the game.

76
00:03:53,640 –> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: They want to muck it up. They wanted the game

77
00:03:55,160 –> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: to be as the waters, to be as muddy as possible,

78
00:03:57,520 –> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: and just to give them a chance to win at

79
00:03:59,000 –> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: the end of the game. But I believe going into

80
00:04:01,680 –> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: this game, we’ve cleaned some things up on our side

81
00:04:04,040 –> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: of the ball, and we look to play not perfect,

82
00:04:07,080 –> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: but close to perfect football, no turnovers, converting obviously, getting

83
00:04:11,840 –> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: the big chunks on first and second down, making short

84
00:04:14,880 –> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: manageable third downs, and keeping them the game manageable for

85
00:04:19,279 –> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: the quarterback position and for our defense’s go play ball.

86
00:04:22,400 –> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: You can also find on Social Kingdom conversations that Matt

87
00:04:26,520 –> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: and I do is part of our Highvchiefs Insider show.

88
00:04:29,320 –> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: We got into this a little bit in that. But

89
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: this Raiders team, now, there’s one thing that catches your

90
00:04:34,400 –> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: eye offensively, they’ve been a high volume passing team. They

91
00:04:38,120 –> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: have forty two twenty plus completions, that’s the most in

92
00:04:41,279 –> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. That does get your attention. It does. Yeah,

93
00:04:43,960 –> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: Derek Carr has having a pretty good year offensively in

94
00:04:46,000 –> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: terms of volume. At least he has the third most

95
00:04:47,920 –> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: passing yards in the NFL right now. And this Raiders

96
00:04:50,240 –> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: team really goes the way of Derek Carr if you

97
00:04:52,600 –> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: look at the numbers. So in their five wins this season,

98
00:04:55,520 –> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is completing seventy percent of his passes, throwing

99
00:04:58,080 –> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns to just three interceptions, averaging almost ten yards

100
00:05:01,040 –> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: per attempts. That’s incredible, and he has a passer rating

101
00:05:03,760 –> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: north of one ten. But in their three losses this year,

102
00:05:06,160 –> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: completion percentage drops by seven points. Three touchdowns, four interceptions,

103
00:05:09,760 –> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: averaging six yards per attempt, and a passer rating of

104
00:05:12,320 –> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: seventy four. That might seem obvious, but at times you

105
00:05:15,400 –> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: see quarterbacks have good games and losses, right, it’s other

106
00:05:17,920 –> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: reasons why they lost Derek Carr this year. If he

107
00:05:20,920 –> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: plays well, the Raiders tend to win, and if he

108
00:05:22,520 –> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: does not play well, they do not win. And passer

109
00:05:24,720 –> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: rating is by no means a perfect stat. It’s actually

110
00:05:26,800 –> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: a very flaught stat in many ways, but it kind

111
00:05:29,120 –> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: of works in this case because when his passer rating

112
00:05:31,040 –> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: is eighty nine point five or higher this season, they’re undefeated.

113
00:05:33,920 –> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: But when it’s lower than that, they’ve lost all three games.

114
00:05:36,279 –> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: So the key in this game is getting after Derek Carr.

115
00:05:38,760 –> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: Don’t let it be comfortable early on. It’s funny because

116
00:05:41,240 –> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: early on, through much of Derek Carr’s career, he always

117
00:05:43,640 –> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: really struggled against the Chiefs. Last year, he played two

118
00:05:46,360 –> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: really solid games So hopefully it’s more of the former,

119
00:05:48,920 –> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: and this one where Derek Carr is not playing very well.

120
00:05:51,200 –> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: He’s been pressured quite a bit this year and hasn’t

121
00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: had a ton of success under pressure. Look at last

122
00:05:55,000 –> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: week the Giants blitz him over and over again through

123
00:05:57,440 –> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: two interceptions last week. So looking for Steve spack load

124
00:06:00,240 –> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: of dial up, some pressure on Derek Carr and hopefully

125
00:06:02,320 –> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: throws an interceptions early on. Yeah, if you play fantasy

126
00:06:04,800 –> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: football in Kuwait or Sydney, Australia, or you’re a retired

127
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: two star general, don’t play it with passer rating or

128
00:06:10,800 –> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: just passing yards. Do it for realistic here. You got

129
00:06:14,160 –> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: to do touchdowns, interceptions, red zone. They’re twenty seventh in

130
00:06:17,080 –> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the red zone. That’s the other thing that kind of

131
00:06:19,560 –> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: gives you the honk the horn on these guys. But

132
00:06:23,200 –> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: he does have five three hundred yard passing games. Now

133
00:06:25,360 –> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: I’m gonna sound like I’m going to contradict myself to

134
00:06:28,080 –> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: your point, he’s five and oh when he throws for

135
00:06:29,839 –> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. But shop, here’s where I’m gonna pivot

136
00:06:32,360 –> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: in this discussion. Three years in a row, the leading

137
00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: receiver for the Raiders has been the tight end, whether

138
00:06:39,240 –> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: it’s Jared Cook or Darren Waller. Now here’s Donar and

139
00:06:42,040 –> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: Waller back. But when Darren Waller is healthy, now this

140
00:06:44,760 –> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: is a much different team. And they like to use

141
00:06:47,279 –> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: him in the way the Chiefs used Kelsey. Definitely. It’s

142
00:06:51,040 –> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: like a comfort company. He’s like a security blanket for

143
00:06:53,360 –> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback. It’s hard to blitz from that position. It’s

144
00:06:56,000 –> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: hard to match up man. O’man. So what you saw

145
00:06:58,320 –> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: in that Giants game is with the Giants, it was, yeah,

146
00:07:00,800 –> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: they brought pressure, but they still had some spies. They

147
00:07:04,120 –> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: had they had enough people playing kind of a zone

148
00:07:06,240 –> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: technique behind it. And I think that kind of confused

149
00:07:09,040 –> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: Derek Card because he almost almost assumes every time he

150
00:07:11,880 –> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: feels pressure it’s man and he’s gonna throw across or

151
00:07:14,280 –> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: he’s gonna throw a route that’s running away from man.

152
00:07:17,360 –> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: And sometimes the Giants I think caught him, um, you know,

153
00:07:20,640 –> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit behind the eight ball, and

154
00:07:22,520 –> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: he threw it into coverage. Easy picks were giving up

155
00:07:25,920 –> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: that game, and I think he’s just showing showing him

156
00:07:28,320 –> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: one thing and then doing something else, braining pressure from

157
00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: one side and then dropping back in his own or

158
00:07:34,160 –> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: showing pressure and dropping everybody back anything like that. It

159
00:07:37,360 –> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: seems to throw him off his game. Now, if you’re

160
00:07:39,440 –> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: gonna go straight man, straight blitz, they got vertical presents, right,

161
00:07:42,960 –> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: they got They just signed to Sean Jackson. They got

162
00:07:44,880 –> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: vertical presents. They got a tight end it’s tough to

163
00:07:48,440 –> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: match up with one on one. And then they also

164
00:07:50,680 –> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: had Ray Brelan there was he’s an emerging receiver, m

165
00:07:53,880 –> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: and he’s definitely kind of showcase to be an up

166
00:07:56,800 –> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: and coming guy, making a lot of big plays throughout

167
00:07:59,480 –> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, and I’m gonna get to something. We’re

168
00:08:02,280 –> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna get Matt’s thought that the ISO Y position is

169
00:08:04,960 –> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: what they call it, and the Chiefs love it. In In

170
00:08:06,360 –> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: fact that she’s kind of brought it into the league,

171
00:08:08,280 –> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: and that is you take the tight end. He’s a

172
00:08:10,200 –> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: single side wide receiver. Now he’s a why that’s what

173
00:08:13,360 –> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: you the letter you give that they tie it in.

174
00:08:15,600 –> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: But so many times the Chiefs will run three by

175
00:08:17,600 –> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: one and that single guy is Travis Kelsey. Well, guess

176
00:08:22,160 –> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: who does its second most in the league the Raiders,

177
00:08:25,240 –> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: and they do it with Darren Waller. He’s a single

178
00:08:27,440 –> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: side isa. Why I’m gonna ask you about defending that

179
00:08:30,000 –> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: in a second because it is problematic, but the tight

180
00:08:33,840 –> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: end is a big part of this. The running backs too.

181
00:08:36,120 –> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 1: We talked about a little bit on Kingdom Conversations. Kenyan

182
00:08:38,640 –> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: Drake was targeted eight times in that Giant game, and

183
00:08:41,440 –> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: the Giants did the same thing to Patrick Mahomes in

184
00:08:43,880 –> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: the second half here. They confused him with that spy

185
00:08:46,840 –> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: kind of man zone combo. It’s kind of the thing

186
00:08:49,200 –> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: we were worried about in the Packers game is how

187
00:08:51,240 –> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: they get their running backs involved in the passing game

188
00:08:53,559 –> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: because Kenyan Drake is athletic, one of the more athletic

189
00:08:55,640 –> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: running backs and dynamic running backs in the NFL, and

190
00:08:58,240 –> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: he’s a great compliment to Josh Jacobs’s kind of a

191
00:09:00,320 –> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: bowling ball kind of running back. Jacobs this year has

192
00:09:03,000 –> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: had kind of a weird season, though it hasn’t really

193
00:09:04,640 –> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: been a great season statistically, at least for Josh Jacobs.

194
00:09:08,000 –> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs has averaging three point eight yards per attempt.

195
00:09:10,880 –> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: He’s at the top one hundred yards and a game rushing,

196
00:09:13,200 –> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: which is crazy for Josh Jacobs because you think of

197
00:09:14,880 –> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: Jacobs is one of the better running backs in the NFL.

198
00:09:17,160 –> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: It’s coming off one of his better games of the season.

199
00:09:19,640 –> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: Though he had four rushes of double digit yardage last

200
00:09:21,840 –> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: week against the Giants, you can’t have arm tackles against

201
00:09:24,840 –> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs. And even though Derek Carr has had a

202
00:09:27,320 –> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: lot of success throwing the football this year, with the

203
00:09:29,080 –> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: volume of passing, I still think you want to shut

204
00:09:31,440 –> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: down the run early. You don’t want to let those

205
00:09:33,040 –> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: short passes to Kenyan Drake get involved and make Derek

206
00:09:35,880 –> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Carr beat you with that volume passing game. And if

207
00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: he beats you with that, so be it. But we’ve

208
00:09:41,280 –> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: seen a lot of Derek Carr over the years, and

209
00:09:42,840 –> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: that’s the way that you beat these guys. As you

210
00:09:44,320 –> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: force Derek car to throw the ball fifty times, and

211
00:09:46,120 –> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: if she’s forcing to throw the ball fifty times, I’ll

212
00:09:48,160 –> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: like their chances. Yeah. And here’s the thing, And I

213
00:09:50,880 –> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: love Josh Jacobs, Tulsa kid, right, I was underrecruited. But

214
00:09:54,559 –> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I think we’re also seeing the influence of a lot

215
00:09:57,360 –> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: of snaps here. Remember he had broke sixty nine tack

216
00:10:00,160 –> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: his rookie year in twenty nineteen, like sixty five percent

217
00:10:03,400 –> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: of his yards were after contact. But we see this

218
00:10:06,160 –> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: for thrunning backs. He said chest, he said leg he

219
00:10:08,559 –> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: said Ankle. I mean, we’ve got a lot of stuff

220
00:10:10,360 –> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: going on with him. I like him, appreciate him, and

221
00:10:12,200 –> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake is a good compliment for him. We’re gonna

222
00:10:15,520 –> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: ask you the one thing about the ISO Y and

223
00:10:17,040 –> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: then we’re gonna jump to the other side, where I

224
00:10:18,440 –> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: think is the most dangerous part of this Raiders team.

225
00:10:21,080 –> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: But the ISO Y when you have these get tight ends,

226
00:10:23,520 –> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: a line up has split ends. The Chiefs kind of

227
00:10:25,520 –> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: brought it into vogue, but now the Raiders want to

228
00:10:27,280 –> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: do it too as a defense. What kind of problem

229
00:10:31,040 –> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: does I give you? Well, I think what you have

230
00:10:32,679 –> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: to do is just make a decision whether you’re gonna

231
00:10:35,080 –> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: jam that receiver right at the line of screaming, get

232
00:10:37,280 –> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: him off the timing to try to get the quarterback

233
00:10:40,080 –> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: to go away from or do you play him kind

234
00:10:42,559 –> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: of with off man. Let him make his move and

235
00:10:44,800 –> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: make his route, give him a two or three yard catch,

236
00:10:48,080 –> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: anything short, and to come of make a strong tackle.

237
00:10:50,880 –> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Most tight ends don’t have the vertical speed that makes

238
00:10:54,040 –> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: him that much of a threat. But like you said,

239
00:10:55,760 –> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, he has the vertical speed, he has the athleticism.

240
00:10:59,080 –> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: He’s kind of a freaking you’re paying that play that

241
00:11:01,000 –> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 1: WAP position, so you can’t put just any old linebacker there,

242
00:11:04,720 –> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: but we have some really good ones. Willie Gay would

243
00:11:06,720 –> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: be an awesome matchup one on one with him. We

244
00:11:08,880 –> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: know Willie Gay can go Sidlin Silin. He’s an ultra

245
00:11:12,200 –> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 1: elite athlete himself, and he has great hands and great

246
00:11:15,440 –> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: knows for the football. So I would love to see

247
00:11:17,320 –> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: Willie Gay fifty go mano one on one against Darren

248
00:11:21,520 –> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: Waller and uh this take him out the ball game.

249
00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: And I’ll have one thought on that too, because we

250
00:11:25,320 –> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: talk about Darren Waller a lot because he is a

251
00:11:27,520 –> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: freak of nature. He’s big, he’s physical, and he’ll get

252
00:11:29,840 –> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: like ten targets a game. He has the third most

253
00:11:31,520 –> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: targets among all tight ends in the NFL this year

254
00:11:33,480 –> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: despite missing some time. But another guy to watches Hunter

255
00:11:36,200 –> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Renfro in this passing game, and Hunter Renfro he’s the

256
00:11:38,920 –> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: opposite of Darren Waller in a lot of ways. He’s

257
00:11:40,679 –> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: not physically imposing. I mean, he’s five foot ten, one

258
00:11:42,600 –> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty five pounds. But we saw what he

259
00:11:44,600 –> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: did last year against the Chiefs and that Week five

260
00:11:46,640 –> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: loss kind of a shocking loss. Right, and the biggest

261
00:11:49,920 –> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: play in my opinion of that game, it was third

262
00:11:51,640 –> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: and forever and Derek Carr found Hunter Renfro for a

263
00:11:54,720 –> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: forty two yard game and the Raiders kept rolling after that.

264
00:11:57,679 –> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro it leads this team in receptions and receiving

265
00:12:00,600 –> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns and also on third down. He has ten catches

266
00:12:03,240 –> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: this year that have moved the chains for the Raiders.

267
00:12:04,840 –> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: So if it’s third and five, that’s the key to

268
00:12:07,320 –> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: this game, right, third and five, third and six, Get

269
00:12:09,160 –> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders off the field, get that she’s back on

270
00:12:10,679 –> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: the field. Got to keep an out on Hunter Renfro

271
00:12:12,440 –> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah. In fact, we talk about Tyreek Hill,

272
00:12:14,679 –> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: who’s number one in the league right now on third

273
00:12:17,160 –> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 1: down catches four first downs, eighteen of them. Yep, awesome,

274
00:12:20,400 –> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: And the fact that Renfro’s pretty close. He’s really close

275
00:12:23,920 –> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: on catches overall on third down. And then how many

276
00:12:26,440 –> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: go for first downs because you can catch one on

277
00:12:28,240 –> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: third and eighteen for six and that doesn’t work. But anyway,

278
00:12:31,640 –> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: where is the Raider team the most dangerous before we

279
00:12:34,800 –> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: get into history here, and that is to me the

280
00:12:37,200 –> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: pass rush. Their pass rush might be the best the

281
00:12:40,040 –> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs have seen their ratio of quarterback pressures is the

282
00:12:43,440 –> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: best in the National Football League, right around forty percent,

283
00:12:46,120 –> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: which is crazy good and about eight percent higher than

284
00:12:49,520 –> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: the next closest team, the Browns. When you put in

285
00:12:52,000 –> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: Goaqway on one side with Max Crosby, who’s the Jared

286
00:12:55,400 –> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Allen of our time, Now, all of a sudden, you

287
00:12:58,720 –> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: have those two cats. If we haven’t seen this since

288
00:13:01,880 –> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland in Week one, these two guys are on pressure

289
00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: and then you jump in there and Matt, I mean,

290
00:13:06,440 –> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day, you gotta

291
00:13:07,559 –> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: do something with your formations. Whenever you bring a tight formation,

292
00:13:10,800 –> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: you bring the tight end. You bring running backs right

293
00:13:13,200 –> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: on that wing position, right outside of the nine techniques

294
00:13:15,720 –> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: so they can bump them before they go out. Whenever

295
00:13:18,480 –> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: you have a crossby and you have a go Akway

296
00:13:20,640 –> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 1: whatever his name is, coming with that speed rush off

297
00:13:23,960 –> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: the edge, you put a little presence right there and

298
00:13:25,880 –> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: give them a little a little rib shot. Every time

299
00:13:28,280 –> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: they go back, give them a couple of rib shots.

300
00:13:29,840 –> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: Those guys they slow down, They slow down a lot.

301
00:13:33,320 –> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 1: And then you talk about toss crack and do different

302
00:13:35,559 –> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: things like that. Get on the perimeter with the jet

303
00:13:37,600 –> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: screens and the jet sweeps, and then always that that

304
00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 1: crack block. That’s got to be a point of emphasis.

305
00:13:44,640 –> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: You’re not just blocking them to take them out to play.

306
00:13:47,160 –> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: You actually got to block them to almost trying to

307
00:13:48,920 –> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: take some steam out of their engine. You want to

308
00:13:50,640 –> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: slow those guys down. A block in the first and

309
00:13:53,400 –> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: second quarter can slow down that pass rushing the third

310
00:13:55,800 –> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: and fourth quarter and help you win the ball game. Yeah,

311
00:13:57,760 –> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: I totally agree. The one thing you cannot allow them

312
00:13:59,640 –> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: to happen in this game is to let Ingackway and

313
00:14:01,559 –> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: Max Crosby penning their ears back and just go after you.

314
00:14:03,920 –> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: You have to keep them thinking about are you going

315
00:14:05,440 –> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: to run the football? And like you mentioned, jet sweeps

316
00:14:07,920 –> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: things like that, And also we’ve seen this the last

317
00:14:09,559 –> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: several weeks where the Chiefs are doing these these wide

318
00:14:12,160 –> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: passes to the sideline. They basically act like runs and

319
00:14:15,400 –> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: these have been very effective with guys like Tyreeke and

320
00:14:17,720 –> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: Micole Harban. If you can do those kind of things

321
00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Max Crosby Nagaquay have to make

322
00:14:22,080 –> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: sure they’re they’re keeping their eye on those things. So

323
00:14:23,880 –> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: I think that’s how you can keep this pass rush

324
00:14:25,520 –> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: at Bay. We have to keep in mind here and

325
00:14:27,240 –> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: Goackway is one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

326
00:14:29,400 –> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: I think when guys get traded a lot or move

327
00:14:31,400 –> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: around a lot, you kind of forget about them as

328
00:14:32,960 –> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: elite players. He’s spent basically one season with three teams,

329
00:14:36,760 –> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: but he’s still one of the better pass rushers in

330
00:14:38,560 –> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. This year, he has six sacks, and Crosby

331
00:14:40,800 –> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and pressures. This season he has five sacks.

332
00:14:44,040 –> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: So got to make sure you’re not letting these guys

333
00:14:45,880 –> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: pin their ears back. The good news is the Chiefs

334
00:14:47,640 –> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: offensive lines played pretty well the last couple weeks are

335
00:14:49,960 –> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: starting to gel and Orlando Brown Junior had one of

336
00:14:52,120 –> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: his best games according to Pro Football Focus at least

337
00:14:54,800 –> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: last week against the Packers, so hopefully they can keep

338
00:14:56,600 –> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: that rolling here against these edge rushers. They’re a couple

339
00:14:58,440 –> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: of things. We don’t know about the right talk situation yet.

340
00:15:01,320 –> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: It’s probably gonna be a game time decision. It’ll go

341
00:15:03,520 –> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: right up to the inactives an hour and a half before.

342
00:15:06,080 –> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: But whomever’s over that right tackle, and if it’s Wiley

343
00:15:08,880 –> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: and you have either one of those cats over there,

344
00:15:11,520 –> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: get a good night’s sleep. The other thing is I

345
00:15:14,520 –> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: saw this with any Reid when he was going up

346
00:15:16,160 –> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: against von Miller. Uh and when the Broncos were in

347
00:15:19,320 –> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: their heyday. He coach is so good at the jet action.

348
00:15:23,200 –> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: Now people are just waiting on our shifts and motions.

349
00:15:25,520 –> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: Now they’re just like, what, just let me know when

350
00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: you’re done with all that. Right, But the jets different

351
00:15:30,040 –> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: because that ball might become an etches and so one

352
00:15:32,280 –> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: thing to slow down those guys. I love your idea.

353
00:15:33,960 –> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: But the crack blocking, man, I love crack blocking. It’s

354
00:15:35,880 –> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: a little dude in high school. It’s like, go crack

355
00:15:37,520 –> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: that guys go to my only shot. But I love

356
00:15:40,000 –> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: it because then they’re looking at the corner of their eyes.

357
00:15:42,400 –> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 1: Did you ever crack block somebody? Now? I you ever

358
00:15:44,920 –> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: that crack block on you? Hans would that’s giving me shivers?

359
00:15:51,160 –> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: And Steve Smith j oh, both of those do that

360
00:15:54,840 –> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: some of the best. Yeah, let me take a breath here,

361
00:15:57,400 –> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: all right, But anyway, an exciting game coming up here

362
00:16:01,000 –> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: with this Chiefs and Raiders rivalry. I do like where

363
00:16:03,680 –> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense has been though last two weeks. People

364
00:16:06,320 –> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: want to give it kind of discredit and they’re like, hey,

365
00:16:08,040 –> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: against Jordan love I said, even defending those fads when

366
00:16:11,040 –> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: we saw Schneid and we saw Seaward defend those faces,

367
00:16:13,840 –> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: I said, you can put a jugs gun out there

368
00:16:15,720 –> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: and just pop it up there for DeVante Adams, that’s

369
00:16:17,840 –> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: a hard play to defend. But we’re starting to see

370
00:16:20,120 –> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: the defense starting to click. Yeah, I think we starting

371
00:16:22,080 –> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: to see some of the payoff from how we kind

372
00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: of sharpened our teeth, you know, we we we went

373
00:16:27,680 –> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: through some growing pains in the first couple of weeks

374
00:16:29,600 –> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: of the season and people were like, why are we

375
00:16:31,360 –> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: playing these different guys and these different personnels, and why

376
00:16:33,720 –> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: are we stuck in so much man with no help.

377
00:16:36,880 –> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: It’s a it’s a growing you know, you grow as

378
00:16:39,520 –> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: a season going. We put some some chapters together, we

379
00:16:42,040 –> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: put some we stacked some film together, and now the

380
00:16:44,960 –> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: guys actually have some confidence. They know what they can do,

381
00:16:47,880 –> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: they know at what point in the field that they

382
00:16:50,160 –> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: can play true inside man and now forced the ball

383
00:16:52,800 –> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: to go someplace, and they trust themselves, they trust their

384
00:16:54,960 –> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: own athleticisms. Seaward man, he played an awesome game all

385
00:16:59,000 –> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 1: night long. And also sneat on both of them together,

386
00:17:02,560 –> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: I think they are great. Job on Vante Adams last week.

387
00:17:05,160 –> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: But they played with a lot of confidence, ego and arrogance,

388
00:17:08,640 –> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: and you gotta beat that when you playing against these

389
00:17:10,320 –> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: alph adults in all three levels are getting involved, So

390
00:17:12,600 –> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: the pass rush, the defensive line of forty nine percent

391
00:17:14,920 –> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: pressure rate on Jordan Love last week. The linebackers getting

392
00:17:17,240 –> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: involved so I will engage Junior have interceptions and back

393
00:17:19,880 –> 00:17:22,239
Speaker 1: to back weeks. And then also the corners, like we’ve

394
00:17:22,280 –> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: been talking about here, outstanding play. I mean Legarius, Sneed

395
00:17:25,040 –> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: and Charvarious war maybe each turn in their best outings

396
00:17:27,200 –> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: as Chiefs against the Packers. So yes, it’s the Giants,

397
00:17:30,680 –> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: Yes it’s the Packers without Aaron Rodgers. But you can

398
00:17:32,720 –> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: only play who’s lined up against you, right, And the

399
00:17:34,400 –> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense played really really well against these guys, and

400
00:17:37,000 –> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: hopefully they can use that to get some mojo going

401
00:17:38,800 –> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: moving forward, because we’ll need it moving forward. But I

402
00:17:41,200 –> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: like shops phrase, and you and I have talked about

403
00:17:42,960 –> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: this too, both on rewind or field pass. Stacking them up. Yeah,

404
00:17:46,200 –> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: you have one good half and then you back up.

405
00:17:48,320 –> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: You’re like mah, Samuel, Samuel. Now they’re stacking it and

406
00:17:51,480 –> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: now you’re almost close to flip. And speaking of stacking

407
00:17:54,600 –> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: it because of what the special teams did last week.

408
00:17:56,840 –> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: You get a muffpunt, you pin them down inside the

409
00:17:59,359 –> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: fifteen four times with a fifty six yard at average.

410
00:18:03,000 –> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: It’s one of the greatest of all time. You know

411
00:18:05,119 –> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: the offense is coming and you flick every light and

412
00:18:07,680 –> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: that’s when it gets good. Yeah. One keep in mind

413
00:18:10,200 –> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: here with the defense. No one wanted to give the

414
00:18:12,320 –> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs any credit for the defensive performance against the Giants. Right, well,

415
00:18:15,440 –> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders just lost to the Giants. They give the

416
00:18:17,119 –> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: Chiefs and credit for shutting down what the Giants can do.

417
00:18:19,520 –> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: I know they’re not the best offense in the NFL.

418
00:18:21,840 –> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: Once again, you can only play who’s up against you.

419
00:18:23,840 –> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: Any given Sunday, an offense can bring something, and the

420
00:18:26,040 –> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: Chief’s defense and back to back weeks has really brought it.

421
00:18:28,200 –> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: Let’s keep that going here against the Raiders. Hey, I

422
00:18:30,119 –> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: don’t care where you’re listening or watching, Defending the Kingdom,

423
00:18:32,760 –> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: go find ten people and play the Giants defense and

424
00:18:35,000 –> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: give me a call and see how that went that

425
00:18:36,720 –> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: that group come play, all right, let’s pivot here a reminder.

426
00:18:39,640 –> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom is brought to you by three sixty

427
00:18:43,040 –> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: Kansas city’s hometown vodka and the official vodka the Chiefs Kingdom.

428
00:18:46,600 –> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: Let’s get into a little bit of fun in history

429
00:18:48,480 –> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: with the rivalry here. Matt and I go back to

430
00:18:51,320 –> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: our boyhood. Now my boys a little bit further back

431
00:18:53,840 –> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: than Matt’s. You didn’t know that bit you, But honestly,

432
00:18:59,400 –> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: your play against rich Gannon it’s probably one of the

433
00:19:02,080 –> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: most forgotten defensive plays in this rivalry because when you

434
00:19:05,440 –> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: brought it up, like a couple of months ago, I

435
00:19:07,160 –> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: went back and I’m not gonna oh my gosh, but

436
00:19:09,640 –> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: you might have ended Richard’s career. Man. I mean, I

437
00:19:12,240 –> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: take no pride in the obviously, I’m very humble about

438
00:19:14,600 –> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: my career, and um, but I did play with a

439
00:19:16,640 –> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a eagle. I played with a little

440
00:19:18,640 –> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: bit of nastiness. Um Um. I know we called dirty

441
00:19:21,560 –> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: Dan it’s the guy nam, but maybe Nasty Baber was

442
00:19:24,840 –> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: the the nickname that maybe I should have went back

443
00:19:28,119 –> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: when I played. I mean, I didn’t want to injure

444
00:19:30,040 –> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: a person, but I definitely when I when I hit you,

445
00:19:32,520 –> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to hurt you. I wanted to Matt, I

446
00:19:33,840 –> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: want you to feel how hard I worked, how much

447
00:19:36,480 –> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: I sacrificed to get to you. And when I took

448
00:19:38,600 –> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: you down, I was I was taking you down with

449
00:19:40,119 –> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: the purpose. And so when they you know, we came

450
00:19:43,080 –> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: off with a h we called it a swat blitz.

451
00:19:45,680 –> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: So it’s the same man wheel coming off the edge.

452
00:19:47,800 –> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: They checked protection, they thought they went max protect. Titan

453
00:19:50,560 –> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: didn’t hear it. He released, He released out into the route,

454
00:19:54,359 –> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: but the blitz got there too fast. I was right

455
00:19:56,640 –> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: up under Old gannon Um. Show the pads. This buried

456
00:20:00,119 –> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: in the ground, and you could tell something when he

457
00:20:01,680 –> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: hit the ground. It it’s something popped, something didn’t feel

458
00:20:04,600 –> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: right in his arm. Uh. I mean that’s and that’s

459
00:20:06,720 –> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: just part of the game, man, It’s part of the game.

460
00:20:08,400 –> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: It comes with the territory. But yes, of the Raiders week,

461
00:20:13,600 –> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: playing three seasons here with the Chiefs. I’m born and

462
00:20:17,320 –> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: raised in this environment of how we have a passionate

463
00:20:20,520 –> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: dislike for the Raiders the entire week, not just game

464
00:20:23,160 –> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: day that once the week, the game before the Raiders

465
00:20:26,240 –> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: game is over, that Monday is no more victory Monday.

466
00:20:29,440 –> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: It’s Raider Week, that entire week. Every day of practice.

467
00:20:33,040 –> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: It’s like double down on your film study, double down

468
00:20:35,600 –> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: on the vitamin C, the vitamin D, get extra nutrients,

469
00:20:38,400 –> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: extra rest. It’s gonna be a bomber like like, it’s

470
00:20:41,119 –> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 1: gonna come down to the end. It’s gonna every game

471
00:20:43,560 –> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: you should expect against the Raiders to come down to

472
00:20:45,520 –> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Somebody’s gotta make a play. No one

473
00:20:48,080 –> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: cares about the records anymore because we want to beat

474
00:20:50,840 –> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: them that bad and they want to beat us that bad,

475
00:20:52,840 –> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: and that that’s been an environment and the attitude ever

476
00:20:56,040 –> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: since I played here. I mean, it was great to

477
00:20:58,880 –> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: do some research about my own history. I’m undefeated against Raiders.

478
00:21:02,119 –> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: There you go, even though it’s only two games. Hey

479
00:21:04,280 –> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: it works, fish pump, don’t let me. Hey that’s right.

480
00:21:06,720 –> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: A week and okay, So I love to hear from

481
00:21:10,760 –> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: folks and agriculture this time of year two and they’ll

482
00:21:12,840 –> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: send me tweets that they’re listing. They’ll they’ll be listening

483
00:21:15,080 –> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: to Defending the Kingdom, right, and they’re out there harvesting

484
00:21:17,000 –> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: beans or corn or milo. But it’s Raiders week, and

485
00:21:20,640 –> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: you just know that combine goes a little faster when

486
00:21:23,440 –> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: they’re listening to this going Roots week. So salute to agriculture.

487
00:21:27,040 –> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: By the way, I’m gonna give a one highlight of

488
00:21:30,440 –> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: this series, and it gikes me back to my very

489
00:21:33,000 –> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: beginning childhood. But I would get my old sixteen jersey

490
00:21:35,920 –> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: on and go out and act like I was playing

491
00:21:37,640 –> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: the game. But to study this rivalry that the last

492
00:21:41,280 –> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: ever AFL game, the nineteen sixty nine AFL Championship won

493
00:21:44,960 –> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: by the Chiefs in Oakland. That’s set up Super Bowl

494
00:21:48,560 –> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: four to beat the Vikings. There are so many forgotten

495
00:21:51,440 –> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: moments in that the America’s Game series when they went

496
00:21:54,160 –> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: back through that and show all the where the Chiefs

497
00:21:56,600 –> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: are backed up at their own one yard line and

498
00:21:59,000 –> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: Lenny throws the wild were out there and it’s cop

499
00:22:00,880 –> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: i Otis Taylor and he’s really out of bounds. If

500
00:22:03,200 –> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 1: it would be this day and age it would have been,

501
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: it would have been disallowed or whatever. Yeah whatever, but

502
00:22:07,440 –> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: we so that just turned it out so and you

503
00:22:11,359 –> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: and it’s the funny thing if you get to see

504
00:22:13,000 –> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: the video of this game, watch it when they the

505
00:22:15,160 –> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: official is running right towards Stram. It’s right in front

506
00:22:17,920 –> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: of Stram on the chief sideline and he’s going in complete, incomplete,

507
00:22:21,800 –> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: and Stram’s just in his ear and then he goes Nope, Nope,

508
00:22:24,320 –> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: it’s a catch. It’s a catch. It’s hilarious. But that

509
00:22:27,000 –> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: just opened the door. Lenny got hot, and that just

510
00:22:29,240 –> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: set up a super Bowl championship. But that game really

511
00:22:33,720 –> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: what it meant might be the biggest of all time

512
00:22:35,720 –> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: for Chiefs winning the series. But Matt, some of your

513
00:22:38,200 –> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: positive moments. Yeah, so I have two two separated by

514
00:22:41,040 –> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: ten years. So let’s go to two thousand and six. Okay,

515
00:22:43,760 –> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: I’m in like middle school to sign coming up. But um,

516
00:22:47,280 –> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: you guys know me and you’ve watched games with me.

517
00:22:48,920 –> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: At this point, we can’t yell or scream except for

518
00:22:51,400 –> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: you for the most part in the press box. But

519
00:22:54,040 –> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: I still am just a ball of anxiety and stress

520
00:22:56,280 –> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: the entire time. And I’m just watching it, just locked in.

521
00:22:58,160 –> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: And We’ve had some chances to watch some games together.

522
00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: I’m just a great spot, just like you know, just sweating,

523
00:23:03,320 –> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, quietly. Well, I’ve always been that way, even

524
00:23:05,760 –> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six. I have seen the fist

525
00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: pump though, you know why, you know, it’s like this

526
00:23:10,960 –> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: fish pump, like he’s gonna man, he’s gonna blow out

527
00:23:12,920 –> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: his fore arms. Well, I also beat my chest every

528
00:23:14,720 –> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: once in a while, which I tell Ellie, my wife,

529
00:23:16,640 –> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: about that. She’s like, man, you’re gonna embarrass yourself. You

530
00:23:18,520 –> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: can’t do this or hurt yourself. I’m like, the Chiefs

531
00:23:20,359 –> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: are winning, you know, But anyway, um, two thousand and six,

532
00:23:23,359 –> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: it is week eleven, all right. The Aaron Brooks led

533
00:23:27,240 –> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: Raiders are driving down the field. Okay, the Chiefs are

534
00:23:30,440 –> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: winning by four points. There is thirty seconds left. Randy

535
00:23:34,320 –> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: Moss is on this Raiders team. They’re moving right down

536
00:23:36,560 –> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: the field and I’m just like, you know, I’m standing up,

537
00:23:38,960 –> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: my hands are on my knees, and as huffing and

538
00:23:40,600 –> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: puffing as you know, a very anxious middle schooler. And

539
00:23:44,320 –> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: Jared Page, who I think was a rookie that year,

540
00:23:46,080 –> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: a seventh round pick out of UCLA I think, picks

541
00:23:48,640 –> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: off Aaron Brooks in the end zone. It was intended

542
00:23:50,520 –> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: for Randy Moss that Chiefs won the game, and I’m

543
00:23:52,520 –> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: just like, even though we won, and I don’t know,

544
00:23:56,600 –> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: for me as a kid growing up, it was those

545
00:23:59,200 –> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 1: kind of games that made me a Chiefs fan, because

546
00:24:00,880 –> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: I’m like, this is so awesome, Like I’m so stressed out,

547
00:24:02,960 –> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: what do I do now? But that was so much fun.

548
00:24:05,000 –> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: Ten years later, twenty sixteen. I was an intern with

549
00:24:07,880 –> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and this is one of my favorite sports memories,

550
00:24:11,119 –> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: non playoff sports memories of all time. It was Tyreek

551
00:24:13,920 –> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: Hills rookie season and it was a huge game against

552
00:24:16,960 –> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders because the Raiders were really good that year.

553
00:24:18,880 –> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: That was the year that Derek Carr was like getting

554
00:24:20,400 –> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: MVP talk. Let’s set it up because it’s one of mine. Two.

555
00:24:22,880 –> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: The Raiders were ten and two. Yeah, the Chiefs were

556
00:24:25,359 –> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: nine and three. Jack del Rio had to come on

557
00:24:28,280 –> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 1: the road on a Thursday night. He just freaked him out,

558
00:24:30,520 –> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: but he set it up. Yeah, the Raiders wanted to

559
00:24:32,840 –> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: beat us so so bad and they were good. Let’s

560
00:24:36,520 –> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: give him credit. And in that game Tyreek Hill, there

561
00:24:40,200 –> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: was a penalty, so he got a second shot to

562
00:24:42,160 –> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: return a punt. And when he went back there to

563
00:24:44,560 –> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: return this punt, the crowd naturally, there was no beckoning

564
00:24:48,640 –> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: from the PA system to get them to do this.

565
00:24:50,200 –> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: They just started channing Tyreek Tyreek. It just spread throughout

566
00:24:54,119 –> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 1: the stadium and I got chills. I was like, that’s awesome.

567
00:24:56,440 –> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, he’s a rookie. And then he how often

568
00:24:59,480 –> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: do you see it where that happens? And the player

569
00:25:01,720 –> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: answers with a huge, gigantic play and that’s what happened.

570
00:25:04,640 –> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: He returned it for a touchdown and it was one

571
00:25:06,920 –> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: of the coolest, just organic, awesome, non playoff sports moments

572
00:25:11,040 –> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: I’ve ever seen. I get chills is thinking about it,

573
00:25:12,880 –> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: and for me, that was when Tyreek Hill arrived. Since then,

574
00:25:15,520 –> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: he’s been the cheetah, you know, and that play for

575
00:25:18,359 –> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: it to happen against the Raiders was just awesome. That game, too,

576
00:25:22,359 –> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: is on my list of positives. But really, and it’s

577
00:25:26,200 –> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: interesting because I do radio hits all throughout the week.

578
00:25:29,000 –> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: I’m on Omaha every week on Wednesday and they’ll play

579
00:25:32,960 –> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 1: the highlight and I go first down. I freaked out

580
00:25:35,760 –> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: on a first down because that was the first down

581
00:25:37,560 –> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: to seal that game. What that game meant. That was

582
00:25:39,920 –> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: the first of five AFC West titles in a row.

583
00:25:42,880 –> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: Chief wanted every year since then. That night was also

584
00:25:45,600 –> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: the night and the punt return is the biggest thing,

585
00:25:48,240 –> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 1: and Alex Smith still says is one of the coolest

586
00:25:49,960 –> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 1: things he’s ever seen. But that also was the night

587
00:25:53,440 –> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: that Kelsey and Hill came together as this dynamic duo

588
00:25:57,240 –> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: as receivers because Tyreek also had a thirty six year

589
00:26:00,119 –> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: post pattern for a touchdown in that game, and Tyreek

590
00:26:02,840 –> 00:26:05,479
Speaker 1: became a receiver not just a returner on that night,

591
00:26:05,800 –> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: and Kelsey was so effective. But it was awesome to

592
00:26:07,880 –> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: sit uh okay playing. Now the Chiefs are going to

593
00:26:12,280 –> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: Las Vegas to this brand new stadium, so it’s gonna

594
00:26:15,320 –> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: be different. But you got to play in the coliseum.

595
00:26:17,880 –> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: In fact, you’re hit on again and happened on the road.

596
00:26:20,960 –> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: But the whole black Hole Coliseum thing. We’re gonna miss

597
00:26:23,800 –> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: that Vegas every night. So the black Hole ever get

598
00:26:26,760 –> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: on you man. I have such vivid memories about the

599
00:26:29,560 –> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: black Hole. Um. I used to enjoy going to Oh

600
00:26:32,560 –> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 1: that was somebody asking where’s your favorite place to play?

601
00:26:34,960 –> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: Besides you know, when you’re on the road, and it

602
00:26:37,359 –> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: was always Oakland, it was always La It was against

603
00:26:39,720 –> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders because the Raiders fan with the spikes, show

604
00:26:43,720 –> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: the pads, all the u all the death and the

605
00:26:48,640 –> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: skeletons and crossbones type war paint going on. Um. The

606
00:26:53,160 –> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: stories about not inviting your friends and family to the game,

607
00:26:56,480 –> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: and if they do, make sure they wear Raiders gear

608
00:26:58,280 –> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: because if they wore any of your gear, they was

609
00:26:59,840 –> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: going to be uh beat up. You know, made fun

610
00:27:03,520 –> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: of Bully throughout the whole game. Don’t you know why?

611
00:27:07,000 –> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: Just leave me at home. That’s not a game. Um,

612
00:27:09,960 –> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 1: you want your family and friends to be at Uh.

613
00:27:12,359 –> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: We’re Golden State stuff pre game stretching and I remember

614
00:27:17,440 –> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: seeing this kid. He looked like Dennis the Menace, right,

615
00:27:19,880 –> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: golden blonde hair, about five six years old. He’s hey, mister,

Speaker 1: this is a whole different fan base. This is amazing.

624
00:27:47,200 –> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: But I used to I used to feed off that

625
00:27:48,880 –> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 1: negative energy and this I think I had some of

626
00:27:51,600 –> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: two games, um uh about eight tackles one game seven,

627
00:27:55,520 –> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: so fifteen combined tackles, two sacks UM against the against

628
00:27:59,600 –> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Um. It was. It was just an amazing

629
00:28:02,400 –> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: atmosphere to take all that negative energy and use it

630
00:28:05,640 –> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: as a as fuel to go out there and this

631
00:28:08,160 –> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: few of my fire to be even more of a

632
00:28:12,320 –> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: prick against those Raiders. I loved. I loved it. I

633
00:28:16,240 –> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: loved every minute of it. Man, And to this day,

634
00:28:19,480 –> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: some of the guys that got to play against right,

635
00:28:20,840 –> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: you having to be on the oppositide of a Jerry

636
00:28:22,520 –> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: Rice at the end of his career, Um, Tim, Tim Brown, obviously,

637
00:28:28,280 –> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson and Rod Woodson. And I think I think

638
00:28:31,320 –> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: they said a lot of those Hall of famers are

639
00:28:33,119 –> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: coming back to the UH Death Star to be honored

640
00:28:36,640 –> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: before our game. None of that’s gonna matter. They can

641
00:28:39,120 –> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: bring all the stars, all there, all the glory, all

642
00:28:42,400 –> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: the history of Raider players back, that’s not going to

643
00:28:44,680 –> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: have anything to do it. Once that ball is kicked off,

644
00:28:47,080 –> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: it’s Mino on Mino Man to get one on one.

645
00:28:49,360 –> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: It’s Batman’s raidar week. Can’t wait. If you know and

646
00:28:53,320 –> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: you’re out there listening or are watching us on defending

647
00:28:56,200 –> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, and you know where that six year old

648
00:28:57,880 –> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: Dennis the Menace kid is with the potty mouth, let

649
00:29:00,360 –> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: us know in the comment. Yeah, we gotta gotta know,

650
00:29:03,720 –> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: we gotta know where that kid is at. I got

651
00:29:06,160 –> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: I gotta know where that kid is yet. Uh okay,

652
00:29:09,400 –> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: just a thought here. Uh. And I you know, going

653
00:29:12,040 –> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: to Vegas is gonna be weird with this because I

654
00:29:14,160 –> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: spent so many years going to the black Hole and

655
00:29:15,800 –> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: I will not miss the Coliseum and I’m gonna give

656
00:29:17,600 –> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: you one of my more ignominious memories of that. But still, Matt,

657
00:29:23,320 –> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: it’s the rival. We’re going to be the same in Vegas. Well,

658
00:29:25,680 –> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: it’s the same because it is the Raiders. Yeah, but

659
00:29:28,040 –> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: it’s a little bit different because it’s not the black Hole.

660
00:29:30,040 –> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: And I when you were talking about that, it reminded

661
00:29:32,000 –> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: me of when I became aware of the Raiders, because

662
00:29:35,440 –> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: it’s I don’t remember when I became aware of the

663
00:29:37,560 –> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: Lions or like the Jaguars, but I remember where I

664
00:29:40,880 –> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: was when I became aware of the Raiders. I was

665
00:29:42,520 –> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: at the Lake of the Ozarks with my dad. We

666
00:29:44,400 –> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: were there for like a weekend to go like boating

667
00:29:45,880 –> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: around or whatever, and we were watching h we were

668
00:29:48,600 –> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: watching Sunday Night Football and it was when Randy Moss

669
00:29:52,280 –> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: made his debut for the Raiders, and it was Chiefs

670
00:29:55,200 –> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: Raiders and before the game, I remember this so distinctly.

671
00:29:57,760 –> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: I don’t know how this happened or where they got this.

672
00:30:00,280 –> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: But the Raiders fans and the black Hole in the

673
00:30:02,400 –> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: front row had this gigantic, like ten foot long plush

674
00:30:07,520 –> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs player like it was like sandbags with like chief

675
00:30:11,720 –> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: stuff painted on, and they were all in unison, all

676
00:30:14,360 –> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: the fans slamming it up against the side of the wall,

677
00:30:17,920 –> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god. And then as

678
00:30:20,200 –> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: the game went on, Randy Wants had a huge touchdown

679
00:30:22,880 –> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: in that game, and the fans are all just going

680
00:30:24,560 –> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: crazy and they’re showing the people in the Star Wars

681
00:30:26,200 –> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: and masks and everything, and I’m just like, I hate

682
00:30:27,960 –> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: these people, you know, I’m just I’m a little kid

683
00:30:30,640 –> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: at this bums like I kids dad these people And

684
00:30:33,320 –> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: that’s just how it’s been my entire life. And that’s

685
00:30:35,760 –> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: when I became aware of the Raiders. So the black

686
00:30:39,120 –> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: Hole isn’t in Vegas. That’s just a reality. It’s a

687
00:30:41,560 –> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: very cool stadium. I’m looking forward to seeing it, but

688
00:30:43,440 –> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: it’s it’s there’s nothing that’s gonna be like the black Hole,

689
00:30:46,440 –> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: and I regret and never getting a chance to actually

690
00:30:48,160 –> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: go there and see it, but it’ll be a little

691
00:30:50,560 –> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: bit different for sure. And while the rivalry is still,

692
00:30:52,800 –> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: of course amazing and great because of the history between

693
00:30:55,560 –> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: these two franchises. It’s a little bit different with the

694
00:30:57,600 –> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: black Hole not involved. Yeah, you may not miss the

695
00:31:00,040 –> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: black Hole as much as you think it will. I know,

696
00:31:02,440 –> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: but I’ll just take O. Two. It’s the year before

697
00:31:04,720 –> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: you became a chief. You’re still with Andy Reid in

698
00:31:06,520 –> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and we get walloped by him. It’s twenty four

699
00:31:09,160 –> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: to nothing and we’re playing in a monsoon. Now that

700
00:31:11,200 –> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: stadium was under sea level. That stadium was under sea level,

701
00:31:15,360 –> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: and so it’s a monsoon like this is just rain

702
00:31:19,120 –> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: coming sideways. Sewage was coming up from the bottom of

703
00:31:23,480 –> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: the field. It was oozing up through the turf. Eric Hicks,

704
00:31:27,960 –> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: you remember E Hicks defensive end yells at a slang

705
00:31:31,760 –> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: term for fecal matter that it starts with s okay,

706
00:31:36,400 –> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: and it’s people going hey, hey, hey hey, he goes

707
00:31:38,520 –> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: no and he wipes out of some of it off

708
00:31:40,720 –> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: his face, like Eddie get like hepatitis and tetists. After

709
00:31:44,400 –> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: this game, you’re not going to miss the colosse. I’m

710
00:31:47,160 –> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: just gonna tell you that was not one of my

711
00:31:48,520 –> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: greatest moments of getting in a monsoon in O two

712
00:31:51,400 –> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: at the Coliseum. The other one was the nineteen ninety

713
00:31:54,000 –> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: nine Why two cable. We all thought the earth was

714
00:31:56,000 –> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: gonna end. Yeah, because everything’s gonna go to zero zero zero,

715
00:31:58,920 –> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: and then we’re all gonna die. And the Chiefs played.

716
00:32:01,640 –> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: The Raiders had a seventeen and nothing lead. If they

717
00:32:03,880 –> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: win the game, they’re gonna win the division, and the

718
00:32:05,880 –> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: Raiders rally and Sea Bass, no it was not Sea Bass.

719
00:32:08,560 –> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Joe Nedney kicked a game winning field goal for a

720
00:32:10,560 –> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: walk off, and then that was that. But here we go.

721
00:32:14,640 –> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: It’s it’s Raiders week. Say it with me. On three,

722
00:32:17,560 –> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: We’re all going to say it together. It’s Raiders Week.

723
00:32:21,400 –> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: And finally, as we close out this edition of Defending

724
00:32:24,280 –> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, if you run into a kid that looks

725
00:32:26,480 –> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: like Dennis the Menace with the potty mouth, make sure

726
00:32:29,200 –> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: you react accordingly. Toss down, down, and the celebration begins

727
00:32:38,040 –> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: in their hand
