40
00:01:55,560 –> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: mind when I saw Kennel Fuller pick that pass off.

41
00:01:58,280 –> 00:02:00,680

00:03:11,480 –> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: a thing or two about that. The way, speaking of that,

67
00:03:14,400 –> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: Robert in Littleton, Colorado, another spy, Rasta from Myrtle Beat,

69
00:03:22,200 –> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: to make a note here if you’re from Kansas City

00:03:29,800 –> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: saw him down the hallway. We’ll mention Pat. Pat listens

73
00:03:31,919 –> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: to defending the kingdom. So wherever you are, even if

74
00:03:33,919 –> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: it’s just in Kansas City in Overland Park, leaves something

75
00:03:36,520 –> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: wherever I will read it, so let me know. So

76
00:03:38,320 –> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: we’ve Hailey and all the way up to this point,

77
00:03:40,640 –> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: we’ve had the southern tip of the African continent you’ve

78
00:03:42,760 –> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: had Southeast Asia, We’ve had Australia, We’ve had Eastern Europe. Again,

79
00:03:46,480 –> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: here we go. I think we’ve had Western Europe in there.

80
00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I do love it. Yeah, well we’re everywhere.

81
00:03:51,400 –> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: And then the last one here we have an update

82
00:03:53,120 –> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: from Bruce. So remember Bruce was from a northwest Kansas

83
00:03:56,600 –> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: near Smith Center. You asked what the town was. You

84
00:03:58,760 –> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: gotta narrow it down. North Kansas is like saying the

85
00:04:01,200 –> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: African continent. Like, okay, well that narrows it down. It’s

86
00:04:04,160 –> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: like seven thousand miles apart. What is it? It’s Osbourne.

87
00:04:08,600 –> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: He said. He played a lot of high school football

88
00:04:10,960 –> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: games against Mith Center in the sixties, the Bulldogs, the Bulldogs.

89
00:04:14,840 –> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, because Shop shared some of his

90
00:04:17,240 –> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: football stories. My last high school football game was in Osbourne, Kansas. Wow. Yep.

91
00:04:22,240 –> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: We were driving for the winning score and we didn’t

92
00:04:25,000 –> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: win it. Somebody might have thrown an interception. We didn’t

93
00:04:30,160 –> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 1: bring that up. Speaking of like you know, going through therapy.

94
00:04:33,520 –> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: All right, let’s get it going. Let’s tuck rematches. I

95
00:04:35,720 –> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: didn’t want to rematch of that game, by the way,

96
00:04:37,480 –> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I want to rematch I’ve lived that game in my mind.

97
00:04:39,440 –> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: A thousand times, all right, Rematches are fascinating. It’s a

98
00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: big part of the National Football League, particularly if you’re

99
00:04:46,080 –> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: gonna win a division, because you play every division opponent

100
00:04:49,520 –> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: twice that it’s guaranteed when you go into every season shop.

101
00:04:53,680 –> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: I want to ask you, because you were an Eagle,

102
00:04:56,680 –> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: you were a Washington football team member, you were a

103
00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: Kansa City chief, you’re a brief term of the Houston Texan,

104
00:05:02,160 –> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: what do you remember about rematch games? I just remember

105
00:05:05,880 –> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: the importance of that first time when you’re playing a

106
00:05:07,880 –> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: divisional opponent and you’re the first time to go out

107
00:05:10,600 –> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: damn play, you know you’re gonna get another shot at them.

108
00:05:12,600 –> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: So when loser draw, you don’t. You don’t just lose

109
00:05:15,120 –> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: the playbook. You take the playbook. You take that kind

110
00:05:18,320 –> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: of store it away. You kind of brush up on

111
00:05:20,360 –> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: it every every week or so because you know that

112
00:05:21,880 –> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: team is coming back around. You don’t want to lose

113
00:05:23,720 –> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: those notes. But you keep those mental notes a little

114
00:05:26,520 –> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: bit more to the forefront of your mind. You never

115
00:05:29,120 –> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: totally just flush it out other teams other games. Once

116
00:05:32,160 –> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: the game is over, you flush it out right, rent

117
00:05:34,320 –> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: and repeat, implement the new game plan for the next team,

118
00:05:38,080 –> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: but always with those divisional poll opponents. You want to

119
00:05:41,480 –> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: keep a little bit of that that edge. You want

120
00:05:44,720 –> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: a little bit of that game plan available so that

121
00:05:46,960 –> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: you can recall it at any moment. And the way

122
00:05:48,960 –> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: the NFL is doing it now is not like the

123
00:05:50,760 –> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: way when I played. We would we would put a

124
00:05:53,080 –> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: divisional opponent at the first, you know, four weeks of

125
00:05:55,480 –> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: the season, and then you might play them again at

126
00:05:57,200 –> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: the end. But now with this backloaded season, how they

127
00:06:00,120 –> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: backloading rematches within three weeks, four weeks. Sometime you’re playing

128
00:06:05,920 –> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: the same opponent within a four weeks span. This is

129
00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna be phenomenal for ratings. For the aggressiveness, the mentality,

130
00:06:13,320 –> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: the mindset. You think you hate a guy, you think

131
00:06:15,360 –> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: we hate the Raiders. Imagine having raided a week twice

132
00:06:18,480 –> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: a month. It’s bad enough to have it twice in

133
00:06:20,960 –> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: the season, but twice in a month, come on Manday

134
00:06:23,240 –> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 1: asking for it. It’s why it’s fascinating, And it’s interesting

135
00:06:27,360 –> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: that you say what you said. Hang on, We’re gonna

136
00:06:29,360 –> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: come right back to you with some more on that,

137
00:06:32,160 –> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: because it’s very interesting to me, Matt when you look

138
00:06:35,520 –> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: at the success of Andy Reid and we’ve looked at

139
00:06:39,640 –> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: it before. I mean, you look at his division record.

140
00:06:41,520 –> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 1: We’ve laid this out thirty six and twelve prior to

141
00:06:45,839 –> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: this season. He’s won on one this year. You look

142
00:06:47,640 –> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: at what he’s in in December. You look at what

143
00:06:49,160 –> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: he’s in the division games in December. This takes on

144
00:06:51,880 –> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: a whole new discussion, and I’ve never heard this discuss

145
00:06:54,320 –> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: That’s why we’re trying to break ground here on defending

146
00:06:56,880 –> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: the Kingdom. Is his amazing record in rematches. Andy Reid

147
00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: is not only a bye week king at twenty and three,

148
00:07:05,880 –> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: he is a rematch king. Yeah, he is. You gave

149
00:07:08,680 –> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: me some homework last night. You’re like, on the podcast,

150
00:07:10,480 –> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: we’re going to talk about Raider rematches. See how coach

151
00:07:13,280 –> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: tread is done. And I’m like, all right. And the

152
00:07:14,920 –> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: fun thing about researching and finding a stat is you

153
00:07:17,360 –> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: start to see a trend and then you start rooting

154
00:07:19,680 –> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: for that trend to continue. And the beautiful thing here

155
00:07:21,960 –> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: is Coach Reid is a perfect eight no in Raider rematches.

156
00:07:25,280 –> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: So every time he’s faced the Raiders for a second

157
00:07:27,600 –> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: time in a seasons as a head coach of the Chiefs,

158
00:07:30,280 –> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: he has won that game eight no. And I have

159
00:07:32,080 –> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: the scores here because he has six of those victories

160
00:07:34,680 –> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: by double digits. So last year was a tight one.

161
00:07:37,960 –> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: That was the crazy one where Patrick Mahomes led to

162
00:07:39,760 –> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: come back at the end and found Travis Kelsey wide

163
00:07:41,640 –> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: open in the end zone. That was thirty five thirty

164
00:07:43,800 –> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: one and two nineteen forty to nine, twenty eighteen thirty

165
00:07:48,520 –> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: five to three. I think that was the Patrick Mahomes

166
00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: fiftieth touchdown game two seventeen, twenty six, fifteen, twenty sixteen

167
00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: at twenty one thirteen, two fifteen at twenty three to seventeen,

168
00:07:59,080 –> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: two thousand and fourteen, that was thirty one to thirteen.

169
00:08:01,600 –> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs wanted to win that game after

170
00:08:03,160 –> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: losing to the Raiders on the road on Thursday Night Football.

171
00:08:05,840 –> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: Then two thirteen fifty six to thirty one. That was

172
00:08:08,880 –> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: the Jamal five touchdown game screen festival game. Yeah, crazy one.

173
00:08:13,280 –> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: So I think it shows the brilliance just another example

174
00:08:15,760 –> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: of the brilliance of coach Read. We know how good

175
00:08:17,680 –> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: he is after a buye because he has extra time

176
00:08:19,520 –> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: to prepare, but when he faces you once in a season,

177
00:08:22,120 –> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: get some of your tendencies on tape, gets to learn

178
00:08:23,960 –> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: about you a little bit see what works what doesn’t

179
00:08:26,360 –> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. At least he’s perfect so far. So

180
00:08:28,560 –> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: let’s make it nine and ol on Sunday. Yeah, I

181
00:08:30,320 –> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: wouldn’t mind it the thing too, and I looked at

182
00:08:33,880 –> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: the other rematches, so you dive dove into the Raiders.

183
00:08:37,679 –> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: Overall as a Chiefs head coach, he’s nineteen and five

184
00:08:41,160 –> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: in rematches. Overall as a head coach, he’s forty eight

185
00:08:46,280 –> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: in twenty one in rematches. He was oh and four

186
00:08:51,080 –> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: his first year. And now keep in mind when you

187
00:08:52,679 –> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: played now in the NFC East, when you started with

188
00:08:55,360 –> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Washington and then Philadelphia up until the O two realignment

189
00:08:58,760 –> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: when the Houston Texans came in and we went to

190
00:09:01,040 –> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: the current alignment, which is eight divisions of four teams,

191
00:09:03,880 –> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: there were four in division. So he had four division

192
00:09:06,320 –> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: rematches the first year as Eagles coaches, way back in

193
00:09:08,960 –> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine and lost all four. So you take

194
00:09:12,080 –> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: that first year, that pleab year out of there, he

195
00:09:14,720 –> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: is forty eight, and what I say, he’s forty eight

196
00:09:18,760 –> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: and seventeen from two thousand to now in rematches, he’s

197
00:09:25,240 –> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: it’s almost as impressive as his bye week to me,

198
00:09:27,840 –> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: because let’s jump back into what you said, Because now

199
00:09:30,640 –> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: let’s go why how would you theori? Why would you theorize?

200
00:09:33,480 –> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is so good in rematch game? Well, if

201
00:09:35,200 –> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: I look at any one game he takes the first

202
00:09:37,760 –> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: fifteen plays, it’s certain things he’s looking at, how are

203
00:09:40,240 –> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: you going to react to my formation, my adjustments and

204
00:09:44,559 –> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: when we shift. That’s in a small sample, just fifteen plays.

205
00:09:48,559 –> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: You give him an entire ball game. Now he has

206
00:09:51,120 –> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: fifty snaps of watching how you adjust? Why did you adjust?

207
00:09:54,840 –> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: Even after halftime? What adjustments did you make to the

208
00:09:57,640 –> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: first half? And now he gets all that dad, and

209
00:10:00,440 –> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: gets to come up with a whole another game plan.

210
00:10:02,600 –> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: It’s it’s it’s lights out. I mean, at that point,

211
00:10:05,640 –> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: you’re giving the mad Hatter, right, Andy Reid way too

212
00:10:08,160 –> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: much time and in the ability to change personnel, a formation,

213
00:10:13,920 –> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: the process, and the way he’s going to attack your defense,

214
00:10:16,880 –> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: whether it’s through philosophy or just through skill level attacking

215
00:10:20,559 –> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: one on one matchups and across the board. He’s been

216
00:10:23,240 –> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: phenomena doing that throughout his coaching career, but specifically when

217
00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: it comes to the Division, because we know from training camp,

218
00:10:29,960 –> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: every training camp he takes an entire practice for each

219
00:10:32,960 –> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: one of those divisional foes. So it’s a little bit

220
00:10:35,360 –> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: of extra a little bit of extra sauce being put

221
00:10:37,640 –> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 1: on those divisional foes. And definitely that second time through

222
00:10:40,600 –> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: in the season, he’ll even do that in OTAs. In

223
00:10:43,240 –> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: OTAs there will be Raider Day or Bronco Day or

224
00:10:45,840 –> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: Charger Day, and the guys don’t necessarily know it. He

225
00:10:48,240 –> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: kind of keeps it a little bit of a secret.

226
00:10:50,000 –> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: The veterans kind of figured it out, I think, But

227
00:10:53,080 –> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: to me, he also keeps if he’s got four drawers,

228
00:10:56,559 –> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: he’s got two drawers full of stuff, or maybe the

229
00:10:58,520 –> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: first time he plays you and all you have for

230
00:11:00,200 –> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: this drawer, but it ain’t using got a whole another

231
00:11:04,640 –> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: set of plays and ways to develop and just attack you.

232
00:11:08,120 –> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: As far as the offenses, and sometime on defenses from

233
00:11:11,679 –> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: a defense side of the ball, I watch a game

234
00:11:13,679 –> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: and when it’s a close game, I’m wondering, why don’t we,

235
00:11:16,760 –> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: you know, stretching more, Why don’t we attack more? And

236
00:11:19,559 –> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: I’ve realized why use cards unnecessarily? Why use plays in

237
00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: formations and and and offensive philosophies when you got the

238
00:11:27,080 –> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: ball game under control, And I think we’ve seen that

239
00:11:29,520 –> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: kind of play itself, even beyond just playing against the Raiders.

240
00:11:33,280 –> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: The second half of this season, the defense has done

241
00:11:35,320 –> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: such a great job of controlling um the opponent and

242
00:11:38,920 –> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: controlling the floor of the game. I think in the

243
00:11:41,440 –> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: second half of games we’ve kind of, I’m dialed back

244
00:11:44,360 –> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of how creative we really need to

245
00:11:46,160 –> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: be to win that ball game, and it actually make

246
00:11:48,480 –> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: make the percentage of up winning, the percentage of the

247
00:11:51,760 –> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: possibility of us winning even raised higher, because we’re keeping

248
00:11:55,240 –> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: it so fundamentally sound instead of going outside of the

249
00:11:58,280 –> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: box like we’ve we’ve been accustomed seeing the Kansas City

250
00:12:00,840 –> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs do. So. I think Andy has, like you say,

251
00:12:03,080 –> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: a whole another volume of plays waiting to unleash the

252
00:12:07,640 –> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: people if we need to. But right now, we just

253
00:12:09,640 –> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: focus on winning ball games, ball control, possessing the ball,

254
00:12:13,800 –> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, doing the things we need to do to

255
00:12:15,120 –> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: be fundamentally sound as a football team. Matt, he seems

256
00:12:19,679 –> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: like he also has psychological warfare going here because people

257
00:12:24,040 –> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: know that, yes, right, the Raiders know what’s he got. Now,

258
00:12:27,400 –> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: I’ve got a quick tet. This is just a month ago.

259
00:12:29,200 –> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: Shop you mention, we just play these guys four weeks

260
00:12:31,360 –> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: ago in the forty one fourteen game, and the Raiders

261
00:12:33,800 –> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: are going, what’s he thinking? What’s in that other drawer?

262
00:12:36,040 –> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: And to me, I get, I think it gives Andy

263
00:12:37,840 –> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 1: a psychological advantage. But you’ve seen him throughout the year.

264
00:12:41,160 –> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: The division is on his mind in March, April, May, June, July, August,

265
00:12:46,200 –> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: and September and October, no Eber, December, January, February. Yeah, well,

266
00:12:49,360 –> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: these are your most important games. And we talk about

267
00:12:51,520 –> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: how good coach Reat is against the division. You mentioned

268
00:12:53,920 –> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: it earlier. Coming end of this season. The Chiefs are

269
00:12:56,160 –> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: now thirty eight and thirteen with the games this season

270
00:12:58,720 –> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: included against the AFC West, since Coachree got here in

271
00:13:01,880 –> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. That’s the most victories for any team in

272
00:13:04,160 –> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: the NFL against their own division, more than even New England,

273
00:13:07,160 –> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: who played the Dolphins and the Jets forever when they

274
00:13:10,120 –> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: weren’t very good in New England was winning Super Bowl.

275
00:13:12,160 –> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: So says a lot about how important these games are

276
00:13:14,280 –> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: to coach Read because these are not easy games to win.

277
00:13:16,520 –> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: They’re very difficult to win, and over the years, the

278
00:13:18,720 –> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: Raiders and the Broncos and the Chargers want nothing more

279
00:13:21,000 –> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: than to beat the Chiefs, particularly lately when the Chiefs

280
00:13:23,240 –> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: have won five division titles in a row. One really

281
00:13:25,920 –> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: impressive stat here too, is that you want to play

282
00:13:28,320 –> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: your best football in December, right, That’s when you want

283
00:13:30,920 –> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: to be playing your absolute best football is in the

284
00:13:33,160 –> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: home stretch. Coach Read since he got here in twenty

285
00:13:35,920 –> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: thirteen is seventeen and three against the division in the

286
00:13:39,360 –> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: month of December. Think about that. That is incredible. And

287
00:13:42,160 –> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: if you also consider some of those losses are when

288
00:13:44,679 –> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: the playoff position was locked up and we didn’t play

289
00:13:47,400 –> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: our starters. So when we have to win in December,

290
00:13:50,000 –> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: Coach Read is basically undefeated, and it’s amazing. It shows

291
00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: how much thought and effort he puts into these games

292
00:13:56,720 –> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: and your right to get back to your original question

293
00:13:59,360 –> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 1: for the opponent. They know that, and they’re like, man,

294
00:14:01,760 –> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: what’s he gonna have up as sleeve here? Or why

295
00:14:03,679 –> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: can’t we beat these guys when we need to. I

296
00:14:05,640 –> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: think about twenty sixteen when the Raiders came in here

297
00:14:08,679 –> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: and they finished twelve and four. I think they had

298
00:14:10,640 –> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: a great season and if they won that game, they

299
00:14:12,760 –> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: probably won the division. People were talking about Derek Carr

300
00:14:15,000 –> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: as an MVP candidate, and they couldn’t beat us, and

301
00:14:17,720 –> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: it just has to weigh on you after a while. Now,

302
00:14:20,360 –> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: give these division opponents credit. They have won some tough games.

303
00:14:23,080 –> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: The Chargers game here walk off two point Yeah, I

304
00:14:25,640 –> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: mean that comes to mind, like they’ve gotten us a

305
00:14:27,360 –> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: few times. But over the course of the Chiefs and

306
00:14:29,960 –> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: Andy Reid’s body of work, it’s got to be very

307
00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: frustrating coming in here to play. Yeah. And the overall

308
00:14:34,480 –> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: December record twenty six and nine. You mentioned that with

309
00:14:37,440 –> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: just three division losses in December, and let’s be honest,

310
00:14:40,560 –> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: almost all of those are rematch games. So let’s take

311
00:14:43,680 –> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: from a football strategic standpoint here, chet and I asked,

312
00:14:47,760 –> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: I asked coaches on Monday night in Chiefs Kingdom shows,

313
00:14:50,560 –> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: and I love it because he if you get a

314
00:14:52,480 –> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: chance and you’re around the world, you can’t listen to it,

315
00:14:55,760 –> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: but you can find it archived because it’s a fireside chat.

316
00:14:58,800 –> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: He gets super relaxed and he just kind of talks ball.

317
00:15:01,960 –> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: But I said, how much can you tweak? How much

318
00:15:04,480 –> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: can you tweak in a month’s time, because this is fresh,

319
00:15:08,160 –> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: how much can they tweak? In your opinion as a

320
00:15:10,880 –> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: player who’s lived this, how much can you tweak, Well,

321
00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: you gotta be careful and how much you tweak, because

322
00:15:16,080 –> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: instincts take over, and you want players to go out

323
00:15:18,680 –> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: there and stop thinking. You want them to just react

324
00:15:20,760 –> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: to what they see and go make plays. That’s how

325
00:15:22,920 –> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: you keep fast players playing fast. If they are there

326
00:15:25,720 –> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: thinking during plays, they’re not think they’re not actually pursuing

327
00:15:28,360 –> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: to the ball, they’re not making plays, they’re not being instinctful.

328
00:15:31,000 –> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: So too many adjustments, then you have your team thinking

329
00:15:33,800 –> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: too much and now you’re playing slow. But if you

330
00:15:35,760 –> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: don’t make enough adjustments, then the other side that your

331
00:15:38,440 –> 00:15:41,119
Speaker 1: opponent gets to take advantage of your lack of making adjustments.

332
00:15:41,120 –> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: So it’s a fine you know, it’s it’s a fine

333
00:15:43,480 –> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: amount of It’s like you know, creating, you know, baking

334
00:15:45,640 –> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: a cake. If it’s a little bit dry, you got

335
00:15:48,320 –> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: you want to add a little bit more butter, right,

336
00:15:50,080 –> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: make it a little bit more moist, but not so

337
00:15:51,600 –> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: much it becomes overly sweet. Right. And so Andy’s just

338
00:15:54,720 –> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: been that. I mean, he got a recipe, but he

339
00:15:57,200 –> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: barely looks at it. He just knows by taste. He

340
00:15:59,480 –> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: knows by he’s putting a pinch of dad in their tables.

341
00:16:03,040 –> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: A dad a little bit of dad, but that he

342
00:16:04,760 –> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: tasted a little bit and a little bit too salty.

343
00:16:07,160 –> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Let me sweeten it up a little bit. So going

344
00:16:09,040 –> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: throughout the season, I think, I mean he’s been a

345
00:16:11,240 –> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: master right, he’s been a master cheffer, putting together some

346
00:16:14,640 –> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: winning recipes, especially in the AFC West. And when you

347
00:16:18,280 –> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, divisional records against your division, I mean,

348
00:16:21,440 –> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: we’re the only division in football when nobody would a

349
00:16:23,680 –> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: losing record. So you talk about going against some No,

350
00:16:26,760 –> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: there’s no bottom feeders, there’s no gimme games. You’re not

351
00:16:29,240 –> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: getting four victories versus teams that are have losing records.

352
00:16:33,120 –> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: These are all playoff contending teams you’re going against six

353
00:16:36,600 –> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: times throughout the seasons, and you gotta be ready to

354
00:16:39,040 –> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: bring it all every time you play against them, because you,

355
00:16:41,440 –> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: like you said, you don’t want to give any of

356
00:16:42,680 –> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: these teams the psychological edge over you. And what we’ve

357
00:16:45,360 –> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: been doing to this division, man, we’ve been putting, like

358
00:16:48,000 –> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: you always say, put the hammer down, we’ve been to hammer,

359
00:16:50,560 –> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: not the nail. With a quick tag on that too,

360
00:16:52,560 –> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: because it got me thinking about my interview with Charles Davis.

361
00:16:55,360 –> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: I had a few hours ago for a game preview

362
00:16:57,400 –> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: this week. Charles is from CBS Sports. Obviously he’ll be

363
00:17:00,080 –> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: on the call this weekend, and I asked him about

364
00:17:02,120 –> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: the confidence that our defense has been playing with, particularly

365
00:17:04,760 –> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: the dbs, because our dbs that guys like Trevarius Ward

366
00:17:07,440 –> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: and Lagarius Need or Shot Fitton when he’s healthy, even

367
00:17:10,280 –> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: DeAndre Baker last week had been playing really, really well

368
00:17:13,000 –> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: and that builds your confidence. And he mentioned the reason

369
00:17:15,760 –> 00:17:17,479
Speaker 1: that’s so important is because you can be like a

370
00:17:17,480 –> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: four four guy, but if you’re not confident and you

371
00:17:20,359 –> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: don’t go out there with the confidence to go play

372
00:17:23,200 –> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: that you’re thinking too much, you become a four five

373
00:17:25,680 –> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: guy or a four six guy. And I’m sure that

374
00:17:27,560 –> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: you know what I’m talking about here. And for the

375
00:17:29,320 –> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: Chiefs to be playing as well as they are defensively,

376
00:17:31,800 –> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 1: that confidence has a big a lot to do with that.

377
00:17:34,400 –> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: And for the opponent, if you’re the Raiders coming in here,

378
00:17:36,880 –> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: you’re six and six right now, your season is on

379
00:17:38,840 –> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: the line. If you’re thinking a little bit about what

380
00:17:40,960 –> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: happened in Week ten, like oh man, they beat me

381
00:17:43,160 –> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: this way, or think about the pass rush. We can

382
00:17:44,840 –> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: talk about the pass rush later, but their pass rush

383
00:17:46,800 –> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: is so good, but time and time again, whenever they

384
00:17:48,880 –> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: got pressure, it was a quick little three or four

385
00:17:50,880 –> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: yard pass to Travis Kelsey. He’d break off a huge

386
00:17:52,960 –> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: long run. If you’re thinking about that as a defensive player,

387
00:17:55,880 –> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: it’s got to be a challenge. Yeah, you’ve already blocked

388
00:17:57,920 –> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 1: him without blocking him, and I’ve seen you do that

389
00:18:00,440 –> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: so many times. And I’m gonna get to your thought

390
00:18:03,960 –> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: of playing with confidence because I’ve really seen it in

391
00:18:05,840 –> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: the linebackers and when I ask you about that, But

392
00:18:08,240 –> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: before we do that, Being around a coach now for

393
00:18:10,720 –> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: nine seasons and I broadcast these games and I review

394
00:18:14,359 –> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: the video of every game, shop in these rematches to me,

395
00:18:18,840 –> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: we talked. We talked about his drawer having stuff he

396
00:18:21,080 –> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: hasn’t used yet. But I say this emphatically, I cannot.

397
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: I’ll watch a game. I can watch Richmond against James Madison,

398
00:18:29,080 –> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: and I’ll go, oh, there’s some tendencies here, this hash,

399
00:18:31,920 –> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: this down and distance, it’s these I cannot tell you

400
00:18:35,440 –> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: what the Chiefs are gonna run based on formation, down

401
00:18:38,480 –> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: and distance, or they are the most unpredictable team I

402
00:18:41,080 –> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 1: think I’ve ever seen. Yeah, am I offer? And if

403
00:18:43,960 –> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: I’m sitting here preparing for them, I go Hey, tendencies here,

404
00:18:47,040 –> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: tendencies are you can’t say that with these guys. Yeah,

405
00:18:50,400 –> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: So defensively, from a defense standpoint, you’re looking at the Chiefs.

406
00:18:54,720 –> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: The problem comes is because they are so they’re so

407
00:18:59,119 –> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: gifted at the level of Tyreek Hill and Kelsey, it

408
00:19:02,760 –> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: makes you do some things defensively just to take away

409
00:19:05,760 –> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: those chess pieces. You have some you have some elite

410
00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: of the elite elite of the most elite players. In

411
00:19:10,720 –> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: those two positions. You have one of the best and

412
00:19:12,760 –> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: the fastest wide receiver, one of the most talented tight ends.

413
00:19:16,040 –> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: I already defensively have to do some things that I

414
00:19:18,119 –> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: might not feel comfortable about just to try to eliminate

415
00:19:21,600 –> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: or try to take those guys from being game records.

416
00:19:24,160 –> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: So that all already limits what I can do defensively.

417
00:19:26,960 –> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: And now I got to start thinking about what Andy

418
00:19:29,119 –> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: is actually calling the screen game the run game, getting

419
00:19:33,200 –> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: Pat on the edge Pat when he does scramble, and

420
00:19:37,080 –> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: that almost forgets about Thede Robinson, the Pringles, the Bells,

421
00:19:41,359 –> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: the Noah Grays, the Gordons, all the other weapons they have.

422
00:19:45,640 –> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: So you don’t want to forget about anybody, So you

423
00:19:47,880 –> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: still have to play some fundamentally sound defenses. But what

424
00:19:51,160 –> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: you know is when you play fundamentally sound defense against

425
00:19:53,560 –> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: a coordinator like Andy Reid and he already knows what

426
00:19:56,880 –> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: you have to do at that middle linebacker read position,

427
00:19:59,520 –> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: what you have to do as that press corner, then

428
00:20:01,760 –> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: you know he’s drawing up things to just attack your technique,

429
00:20:05,760 –> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: and so you always feel like you’re behind the eight ball.

430
00:20:07,920 –> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: You always feel like he got all the cards in

431
00:20:10,320 –> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: his hand, and I’m just gonna, you know, I’m gonna

432
00:20:12,880 –> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: be a kind of whipping child for the day on

433
00:20:15,000 –> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: defense until we create a stop, a turnover, a big sack,

434
00:20:19,200 –> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: until we get the momentum. And then you talk about

435
00:20:21,400 –> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: playing an arrowhead with the twelfth Man and the crowd

436
00:20:24,160 –> 00:20:26,959
Speaker 1: roaring and all that. I mean, it’s almost too much

437
00:20:26,960 –> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: to even bear sometime on the defense side of the ball.

438
00:20:29,920 –> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: So you just go out there and you try to

439
00:20:31,080 –> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: play your best. You try to you hope for the best,

440
00:20:33,280 –> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: you’re preparing for you’re preparing for the worst because you

441
00:20:35,640 –> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: know you’re gonna have to change some things because when

442
00:20:37,200 –> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: Andy did a week ago, even a minute ago, he’s

443
00:20:39,520 –> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: not doing the same thing, but he’s able to be

444
00:20:41,680 –> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: so successful in so many different ways that that multi

445
00:20:45,560 –> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: versatile offense, the multi sets he does, all the different schemes,

446
00:20:48,720 –> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: and the way he can attack you vertically and horizontally. Man,

447
00:20:51,440 –> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: it’s very frustrating for a defense. And then, like Matt said,

448
00:20:54,600 –> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: and even when you do get the pat he’s mobile

449
00:20:57,080 –> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: enough to create that extra little second, that little half

450
00:20:59,640 –> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: second to create that window to get the ball away.

451
00:21:02,080 –> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: So you still statistically don’t get a sack. Yeah. Man,

452
00:21:06,320 –> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: it’s tough, man, and they can frustrate it. And people say,

453
00:21:09,800 –> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: let’s say you’re a Raider fan going, well, hey, double kelsey,

454
00:21:12,720 –> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, well the Chiefs had a great countermeasure the

455
00:21:15,000 –> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 1: last time, or hey, match up on Tyreek Hill. You

456
00:21:19,080 –> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: have to understand and you could you know this? And

457
00:21:22,040 –> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: to your point, it’s like you’re welding on the USS

458
00:21:24,960 –> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: Kittie Hawk in the middle of the Pacific. Your your

459
00:21:27,440 –> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: ship is put to sea in training camp. You can’t

460
00:21:30,320 –> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: sit there, go hey, turn the battleship around and turn

461
00:21:33,080 –> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: it into a motor boat. No, you can’t do that.

462
00:21:35,359 –> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: I can weld a little bit and I can fix something,

463
00:21:38,160 –> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: but I can’t change the whole. I can’t change at all,

464
00:21:40,680 –> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: especially in a rematch, especially when it’s such a quick turnaround. So,

465
00:21:44,440 –> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: Matt your point, I’m gonna get you guys a jump

466
00:21:46,200 –> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: on this because now we’re gon we’re gonna drill down

467
00:21:48,080 –> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: on this specific game. And just a reminder, we’re brought

468
00:21:50,720 –> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: to you by three six, Kansas City’s hometown Vodka and

469
00:21:54,400 –> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: the official vodka of the Kansas City Chiefs and the

470
00:21:56,920 –> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom. When you mentioned guys playing with confidence and

471
00:22:01,040 –> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: without confidence, or a defender having a four fourth speed

472
00:22:04,520 –> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: but being somewhat apprehensive, in my mind were Nick Bolton

473
00:22:09,280 –> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: and Willie g Jr. Because those dudes and even even

474
00:22:12,359 –> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: hitch here Anthony Hitchins I have and Danen’s going crazy

475
00:22:16,880 –> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: up with them. He’s like headbutting me and everything else.

476
00:22:19,040 –> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: I got like a nosebleed. I’m in the blue tent.

477
00:22:21,440 –> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: Because these linebackers now are playing down hill. It is

478
00:22:25,560 –> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 1: a vast difference than what we saw in September and October.

479
00:22:28,320 –> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: Your thoughts there, and then shop jump in as an

480
00:22:30,040 –> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: old backer, Yeah, I totally agree. And we kind of

481
00:22:33,240 –> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: thought this might happen in training camp because we saw

482
00:22:35,400 –> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: both Willie and Nick playing with a lot of confidence

483
00:22:37,600 –> 00:22:39,919
Speaker 1: just getting used to the scheme. I think about Willie.

484
00:22:39,920 –> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: It was tough last year because for those guys that

485
00:22:42,040 –> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: didn’t have OTAs a full year ago after the draft,

486
00:22:45,520 –> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: during COVID and everything where we didn’t have in person stuff.

487
00:22:48,080 –> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: It was difficult for those guys, and they admitted it

488
00:22:50,200 –> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: to just get used to playing in the NFL because

489
00:22:52,320 –> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: their first real experience was the first day of training camp.

490
00:22:54,880 –> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: They got difficult. That must be no one person rookie

491
00:22:57,200 –> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: mining camp, no OTAs, none of that stuff. And then

492
00:22:59,680 –> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: when the season comes around, all of a sudden, you’re

493
00:23:01,520 –> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: still trying to learn the defense, figure out what it’s

494
00:23:03,400 –> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: like to be a pro. He admitted that he didn’t

495
00:23:05,640 –> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: feel totally comfortable until late in the season, and you

496
00:23:08,880 –> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: saw him start to play pretty well. Then he got hurt. Well,

497
00:23:11,720 –> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: coming into this year, he said he felt leagues better.

498
00:23:14,440 –> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean he felt way way more comfortable in the

499
00:23:16,280 –> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 1: system and in the defense. And we’ve been seeing that

500
00:23:18,640 –> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: since he came back healthy several weeks ago. The guy

501
00:23:20,880 –> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: looks awesome. I mean he’s flying around out there. He

502
00:23:23,359 –> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: had media actually just a few hours ago and he

503
00:23:25,359 –> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: was asked, where’s your confidence level at He said, it’s

504
00:23:27,560 –> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: pretty high, pretty high right now. It’s good sign man. Yeah,

505
00:23:31,480 –> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: and then Nick Bolton, I mean he’s been playing with

506
00:23:33,119 –> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: tenacity for weeks now. So both of those guys are

507
00:23:35,680 –> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: playing with a lot of energy, a lot of passion.

508
00:23:38,280 –> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: And for this defense, for young guys to have success,

509
00:23:41,680 –> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: you want the whole defense to have success as well,

510
00:23:44,200 –> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, like you want them to feel what it’s

511
00:23:46,320 –> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: like to feel success as a defense, and for the

512
00:23:48,920 –> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: last several weeks, for the entire defense to be playing

513
00:23:51,160 –> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: as well as they are. Since Week eight, this is

514
00:23:53,000 –> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: the second best scoring defense in the NFL. They’ve allowed

515
00:23:55,760 –> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: six total touchdowns. Are you kidding me? Six total touchdowns?

516
00:23:58,680 –> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: That’s the fewest in the NFL. To feel like you’re

517
00:24:01,160 –> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 1: a part of that as a young player has to

518
00:24:03,520 –> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: be huge fear confidence moving forward. Yeah, these guys aren’t

519
00:24:07,320 –> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: four sevens. It became four threes. They’re not four sevens anyway.

520
00:24:11,440 –> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: But Shop, when you get to be playing downhill and

521
00:24:15,000 –> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: you play fast, how much are you seeing that in

522
00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: these young linebackers in specific? Maybe even rubbing over on

523
00:24:20,640 –> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: Hutch a little bit our hitch, I should say, but

524
00:24:24,119 –> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: how much of these guys playing faster downhill? And what

525
00:24:26,560 –> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: you like to see? Yeah, well, what I’m seeing on

526
00:24:28,320 –> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: the field by young guys just being loose and allowing

527
00:24:31,080 –> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: them athleticism and their youth, and there they’re vigor and

528
00:24:33,440 –> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: their aggression to take over. Usually in the NFL, your schemes,

529
00:24:37,640 –> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: your responsibilities being an a gap to backsack, cutoff player.

530
00:24:41,920 –> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Know when you got seen pass coverage, sometimes that amount

531
00:24:44,840 –> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: of information starts to weigh you down because you’re already

532
00:24:48,040 –> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: seeing formations and you’re looking at who the possible threats

533
00:24:50,680 –> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: are just gonna attack your zone coverage. Who are the

534
00:24:53,560 –> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: man threats and you’re looking at a man and that

535
00:24:56,400 –> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: running back coming out of backfield. Every team got a

536
00:24:58,880 –> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 1: different weapon, has a different strength and weakness, So weekend

537
00:25:01,960 –> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: and week out, it’s just not like college. Being the

538
00:25:04,640 –> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: best athlete on the field. All through your college days,

539
00:25:07,000 –> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: you’re able just to play, not worry about you don’t

540
00:25:09,040 –> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: even worry about who the other running backs because you’re

541
00:25:10,800 –> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: so confident in yourself. When you’re to the NFL, it’s

542
00:25:13,000 –> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: almost a one hundred percent, three hundred and sixty degree

543
00:25:15,680 –> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: reversal of that because you see some of the best

544
00:25:17,880 –> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: of the best, whether it’s a tight end position. Sometimes

545
00:25:20,880 –> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: those slot receivers you response before, and the backs coming

546
00:25:23,560 –> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Those guys can wreck games. They

547
00:25:26,440 –> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: can create some really unfortunate matchups against you. When you

548
00:25:31,320 –> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: talk about your skill set as a linebacker, and that’s

549
00:25:34,280 –> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: not even thinking about your responsibility. That’s just mano a

550
00:25:36,920 –> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: mano putting my strengths and weaknesses up against somebody Else’s

551
00:25:40,000 –> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 1: not to mention all the other things as far as

552
00:25:41,640 –> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: getting the front set, understanding what’s the past coverage. If

553
00:25:44,320 –> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: this guy goes in motion and they shift, how do

554
00:25:46,280 –> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: we switch the defense? You’re the quarterback of this defense.

555
00:25:49,320 –> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: Sometimes with young players, that amount of information kind of

556
00:25:53,840 –> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: it slows them down. It just becomes too much to bear.

557
00:25:57,000 –> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: And that’s the value of a Hitchens that that’s the

558
00:26:00,040 –> 00:26:03,239
Speaker 1: coach on the field that every team has. Whatever. You know, Hey,

559
00:26:03,320 –> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: Hitch is getting a little bit longer too, if he’s

560
00:26:04,760 –> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: getting a little bit older, but he’s making up with

561
00:26:06,560 –> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: that with his experience. He can now call his shots.

562
00:26:09,760 –> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 1: He can kind of send some of them young guns

563
00:26:11,200 –> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: going in and take it hit every once in a while,

564
00:26:12,920 –> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: so he didn’t have to take it save himself a

565
00:26:14,600 –> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: little bit. But that comes with that experience. Man, he

566
00:26:17,680 –> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: knows in certain situations of the game he has more value.

567
00:26:22,800 –> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: I’m kind of waiting, delaying a little bit than it

568
00:26:24,880 –> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: is being the first thing being that tip of the spear.

569
00:26:27,560 –> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: And he’s he got two guys at are willing. You

570
00:26:30,000 –> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: see Willie Gay, I mean he’s swagging, surfing on the

571
00:26:32,560 –> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: sideline with the offense every time the offense makes a

572
00:26:35,280 –> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: big play. I mean, these guys are playing with so

573
00:26:37,240 –> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: much excitement. The one thing I see going in every

574
00:26:39,800 –> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: huddle we always start to huddle in certain ways, it’s

575
00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: more than eleven guys in our defensive huddle. We always

576
00:26:44,200 –> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: starts with more out there, and then whenever we call

577
00:26:46,200 –> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: a defensive package, a couple of guys run off. Well,

578
00:26:49,200 –> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, you see Nick Bolton been

579
00:26:51,359 –> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: the guy Warren and he’s been one of the tackle

580
00:26:53,640 –> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: for loss. He’s always making plays, but he doesn’t run

581
00:26:57,240 –> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: off with his head down. He knows it’s just a

582
00:26:59,320 –> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: matter of time. It’s a situation when my number is called,

583
00:27:02,119 –> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: I’m gonna be expected to stay out there and make

584
00:27:03,600 –> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: a big plays. And when those big fourth downs, right

585
00:27:06,480 –> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: fourth down stops, Bolton is part of it. When it’s

586
00:27:09,000 –> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: tackle for loss, Bolton is a part of it. He’s

587
00:27:11,280 –> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: making some of the most impactful plays. But he’s only

588
00:27:13,840 –> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: on the field like ten plays. How do you make

589
00:27:16,320 –> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: three tackles with ten plays? Like man? The efficient efficiency

590
00:27:20,320 –> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: of these linebackers are playing with They don’t take much,

591
00:27:22,880 –> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: they don’t need a lot of opportunity. They’re making the

592
00:27:25,560 –> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: most out of every opportunity they get to play on.

593
00:27:27,720 –> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: They’re making big impact plays at some of the most

594
00:27:30,320 –> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: unique times. This leading to us having one of the

595
00:27:32,640 –> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: top defenses in the league right now. A quick thought

596
00:27:34,560 –> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: on by Gay two and making big time plays. Think

597
00:27:36,960 –> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: about the play of the game in my opinion against Denver.

598
00:27:40,080 –> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: I think you know where I’m going with this. It

599
00:27:41,560 –> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: was early in the game. It was a fourth down

600
00:27:43,240 –> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: stop on fourth and two deep in Chiefs territory that

601
00:27:46,160 –> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: ended a twenty play drive for the Broncos with zero points.

602
00:27:50,359 –> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: You eat up eleven minutes of clock, you go eighty

603
00:27:53,200 –> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: three yards, I think, on twenty plays and you get

604
00:27:55,680 –> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 1: to zero points for it. And it’s because the Chiefs

605
00:27:58,240 –> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: defended every blade of grass and will he gave you

606
00:28:00,640 –> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: go back and watch the play didn’t hesitate at all.

607
00:28:02,960 –> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: He was going downhill the whole way. Jaron Reid crushed

608
00:28:06,359 –> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 1: a guy, Lloyd Cushionberry. I mean he destroyed him, and

609
00:28:08,680 –> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: then Willie Gay was right there to wrap up Javonte Williams.

610
00:28:11,200 –> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: It was awesome. And I think a linebacker that maybe

611
00:28:13,440 –> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: doesn’t feel as comfortable in the scheme, I don’t know

612
00:28:15,720 –> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 1: if he makes that play. Willie makes that play right now,

613
00:28:18,600 –> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: and it was such a huge play psychologically, and Shop

614
00:28:21,600 –> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: knows how psychological this game is because if the Broncos

615
00:28:25,440 –> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: scored there even a three, but for sure a seven,

616
00:28:28,320 –> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 1: it becomes a major statement. We just had the ball

617
00:28:31,400 –> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: eleven minutes and scored on you. We’ve shortened the game.

618
00:28:34,000 –> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: It got it, but to get zero points ended up

619
00:28:37,240 –> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: turning the cannon on him because now all of a sudden,

620
00:28:39,640 –> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: the whole sideline of the Chiefs lifted up like that,

621
00:28:41,840 –> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: what’d you’all just do? Because you didn’t do anything really,

622
00:28:44,600 –> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean, eight eleven minutes off and so the Chiefs

623
00:28:46,800 –> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: only got fifty four plays in that game, but she

624
00:28:49,160 –> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: got no points. So it became almost ashamed, like we

625
00:28:53,240 –> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: did all that and got no points. It’s like yeah, wow,

626
00:28:56,120 –> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: So psychologically it was as important as it was obviously physically.

627
00:29:00,520 –> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: All right, let’s drill down on this Raider team because

628
00:29:04,280 –> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, we know, is can be very, very good.

629
00:29:08,560 –> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: And again, is the hot faucet on or the cold fauceted?

630
00:29:12,800 –> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: Because that’s just the way he’s been. He’s three and

631
00:29:15,080 –> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: twelve against the Chiefs, but we did see him come

632
00:29:17,800 –> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: in here. Let’s just start this one because I don’t

633
00:29:20,760 –> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: care if you’re in South Africa or Australia or in

634
00:29:23,360 –> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: the Czech Republic, if you’re a red blooded card carrying

635
00:29:26,160 –> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: member of the Chief’s Kingdom, it had to tick you

636
00:29:28,760 –> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: off when the Raiders came in here last year and

637
00:29:30,800 –> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: ambush the Chiefs the only regular season lost in the

638
00:29:33,560 –> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: first fifteen regular season weeks of the year, and then

639
00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 1: took a victory lab. They took the bus around, their

640
00:29:40,320 –> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: their buses around the stadium on a victory lap like

641
00:29:42,560 –> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: it was the Rose Bowl Parade. What So that ought

642
00:29:46,080 –> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: to get you fired up for this game? Hey man,

643
00:29:47,640 –> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: I’m telling I loved it. I loved it, even though, man, listen,

644
00:29:50,440 –> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: I know it’s always Radar week, but it’s it’s it’s

645
00:29:53,080 –> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: been more like Raidar week because we’ve been beating them

646
00:29:55,680 –> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: so long, so for them to get a victory once

647
00:29:58,520 –> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: out of I think eight years and decide that that’s

648
00:30:01,640 –> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: that’s worthy of a victory lap. That kind of that

649
00:30:04,000 –> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: kind of got my juices flowing again. That got it,

650
00:30:06,080 –> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, it kind of started the robbery back up again.

651
00:30:08,840 –> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, I’m kind of I’m kind of excited for

652
00:30:11,200 –> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders to come back, be on our field, our

653
00:30:13,920 –> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: home turf, and try to think that they’re gonna walk

654
00:30:16,800 –> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: out here and load those busts up again and get

655
00:30:19,360 –> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: another victory lap. I know our team feels that way too,

656
00:30:22,600 –> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: because you know, we hear guys trying to damn play

657
00:30:25,440 –> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: it and say, you know, oh, you know, it wasn’t

658
00:30:27,880 –> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: a big deal. It wasn’t something. But I guarantee for

659
00:30:31,000 –> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: all the fans, they’ve let them know. Chief’s Kingdom has

660
00:30:33,760 –> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: let those players know. We can’t wait to get the

661
00:30:36,360 –> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: Raiders back here g e h a Field to make

662
00:30:40,400 –> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: sure that they do not have a chance to do

663
00:30:42,400 –> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: another victory lap. And not only that, not just to win, Man,

664
00:30:45,480 –> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: we want to make them pay for it. We want

665
00:30:47,240 –> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: to make them pay for it. So we if there’s

666
00:30:49,040 –> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: ever a chance for this offense to explode and this

667
00:30:51,320 –> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: deepens to shut a team out and you want to

668
00:30:53,200 –> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: see the sea if Red go crazy for sixty minutes

669
00:30:56,040 –> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: of football. Man this this week is this moment, this time,

670
00:30:59,200 –> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: this place. Man’s nothing like radek. You remember what Coach

671
00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: Reid said when he was asked about it. He said, yeah,

672
00:31:05,360 –> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: we probably wouldn’t do that. Yeah, and you know they

673
00:31:07,560 –> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: can do whatever they want to do now code knowing

674
00:31:09,960 –> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: him for nine seasons is that he just put his

675
00:31:12,040 –> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: finger on a button. So where’s that second drawer? Because

676
00:31:15,760 –> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: Big Red’s coming, man, he is coming for these guys.

677
00:31:18,480 –> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: Just saying. The thing with coach and with our players

678
00:31:21,480 –> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: is that’s about the most you’ll get out of him

679
00:31:23,480 –> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: on that subject. And like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey,

680
00:31:26,240 –> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: they’re not gonna say anything about it. They’re just gonna

681
00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: let their play do the talking. And we essentially ended

682
00:31:31,000 –> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: their season on Sunday Night football last year at the

683
00:31:33,800 –> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: Dusk Star, So we kind of made our statement there, like,

684
00:31:36,640 –> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: if you want to do that, okay, we’re gonna go

685
00:31:38,880 –> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: in your season in front of your fans. So it’s

686
00:31:41,360 –> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: perfect and remittch Yeah. Reid remtch Car though has been

687
00:31:46,200 –> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: good at times, really good at times. He has sixty

688
00:31:48,920 –> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: twenty plus yard completions this year. That’s number one in

689
00:31:51,840 –> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: the National Football League and with Deshaun Jackson now more time.

690
00:31:56,080 –> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: We saw him go for the six against the Cowboys.

691
00:31:58,800 –> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: We saw we to do against the She’s got another

692
00:32:00,840 –> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: fifty plus yard touchdown the and thank goodness we had

693
00:32:04,440 –> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: a little peanut tilma going on because that was Rashad

694
00:32:06,480 –> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: Fenton popping it out. But there’s some danger here with

695
00:32:10,520 –> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: this Raidar offense. Even though we do not know who’s

696
00:32:12,720 –> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: gonna be up or down as Wall gonna be up.

697
00:32:14,560 –> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: We don’t know Hunter Runfros another guy. I mean, he

698
00:32:17,480 –> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: is the mosquito at the picnic. He will give you malaria,

699
00:32:20,000 –> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: right so he hope. Well, I’m just saying, I just

700
00:32:23,880 –> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: but there’s something here you gotta take care of. If

701
00:32:25,560 –> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: you’re gonna squash these guys, then you gotta squash the

702
00:32:28,760 –> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: right bugs. Yeah. I think we just got to come

703
00:32:30,520 –> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: out the gate early and often, knowing what we gotta do,

704
00:32:32,560 –> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: being so aggressive, playing fundamentally sound. I think we know

705
00:32:36,320 –> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: that up and down the board we have a better team,

706
00:32:38,000 –> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: but we got to make sure that they know it too. Right,

707
00:32:40,320 –> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: leave nothing, you know nothing in the tank, especially in

708
00:32:44,200 –> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: that first half of the game. We don’t want to

709
00:32:45,600 –> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: be going into the halftime just up by a possession.

710
00:32:47,920 –> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: If necessary, we want to make sure that we control

711
00:32:50,800 –> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: that game from the first kick off to the last

712
00:32:54,320 –> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: second off the clock. And I think you do that mentally, physically, emotionally.

713
00:32:57,880 –> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: It starts right now, preparing yourself for a physical ball game,

714
00:33:01,440 –> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: and you make them realize that their season is coming

715
00:33:03,800 –> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: to an end, that all the termoil they’ve had outside

716
00:33:06,680 –> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: of their locker room is causing that team to fall

717
00:33:09,360 –> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: apart at the scenes. And when you see guys on

718
00:33:12,240 –> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: an injury list get longer and longer and longer in

719
00:33:14,880 –> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: opting out of the opportunity to chance to get on

720
00:33:17,320 –> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: the practice field and play. I don’t question Walla is

721
00:33:21,240 –> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: nominated this year as the walters Man Player of the

722
00:33:23,240 –> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: Year for that for the organization. So that’s a credit

723
00:33:25,480 –> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: in himself for everything he’s been doing everything his whole story,

724
00:33:29,360 –> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: but for this week, in this game, you know, opting

725
00:33:32,600 –> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: to not be a part of this, whether it’s the

726
00:33:35,000 –> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: practice field or it’s the game time decision. Um. I

727
00:33:38,200 –> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: think that said something to me about how how bad

728
00:33:40,440 –> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 1: did he really want it? How bad do you really

729
00:33:42,200 –> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: want to beat the Chiefs? And I think that our guys,

730
00:33:44,760 –> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: you get down the list, there’s gonna be more guys

731
00:33:46,920 –> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: um in our locker room with something to prove, something

732
00:33:49,400 –> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: to um go after on game day again, being fed off,

733
00:33:54,520 –> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: being pissed off actually by what happened last year here,

734
00:33:57,200 –> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: but feeding off of the energy of our sea of

735
00:34:00,360 –> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: that’s going to be an amazing atmosphere. And it’s been

736
00:34:03,360 –> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: amazing all year long. I think every time I hear

737
00:34:05,120 –> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: coaching on the show, he talks about how amazing the

738
00:34:07,800 –> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: quality is, how amazing it is to play here in

739
00:34:09,960 –> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: front of a home crowd. And by the way, the

740
00:34:12,200 –> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: sea Redd will come in a little cranky too for

741
00:34:14,440 –> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: this one. But you said, you know, you thought as

742
00:34:17,840 –> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: the chiefs of the better team, Derek Carr would disagree

743
00:34:20,120 –> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: with you. His quote after the game of four weeks

744
00:34:22,360 –> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: ago was we have the better team. We just got

745
00:34:25,000 –> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: to kind of put it together. I mean he said it.

746
00:34:27,000 –> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: Give him. I mean, hey, dude, you came in here

747
00:34:29,160 –> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: last year and one I got you. But put that

748
00:34:31,960 –> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: in with the bust wheels going round and round and

749
00:34:34,520 –> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: just put that up on the bulletin board. Derek Carr’s

750
00:34:36,880 –> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: having a weird year. It’s a weird year. It’s a

751
00:34:40,719 –> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: very symmetrical year. And if you look at what he’s

752
00:34:43,560 –> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: done this season, when he throws for three hundred yards.

753
00:34:46,120 –> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 1: Very basic stat. If you throw us for three hundred yards,

754
00:34:48,480 –> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: it’s sometimes gonna be a misleading stat. Often it can be. Yeah,

755
00:34:51,520 –> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: and that’s part of my point. Because when he throws

756
00:34:53,200 –> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: for three hundred yards, the Raiders average thirty two points

757
00:34:56,200 –> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: per game and they’re undefeated. There’s six and out. When

758
00:34:58,760 –> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 1: he throws for less than three hund yards, they haven’t

759
00:35:01,280 –> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: won there and six averaging thirteen points per game. To

760
00:35:04,960 –> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: your point, frequently we’ll see a quarterback have an enormous

761
00:35:09,040 –> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: game but they lost, you know, or he’ll have, you know,

762
00:35:13,239 –> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: a pretty pedestrian game. He’ll throw for one hundred and

763
00:35:15,800 –> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: fifty yards. Look at Mac Jones against the Bills a

764
00:35:17,880 –> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: few nights ago. Through for nineteen yards didn’t matter because

765
00:35:20,760 –> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: they threw three passes screen exactly. That’s Army, that’s Army Navy.

766
00:35:29,360 –> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: But you know, you can win in different ways. The

767
00:35:31,280 –> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: Patriots use their running game and that that won them

768
00:35:33,640 –> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: the game. For the Raiders, if Derek Carr doesn’t throw

769
00:35:37,080 –> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: for a bunch of yards, they lose, and if he

770
00:35:40,040 –> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: does throw for a bunch of yards, they tend to win.

771
00:35:42,080 –> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: It’s weird. It’s really oddly symmetrical and the Chiefs. They

772
00:35:45,600 –> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: contained him and if you look at third down, that’s

773
00:35:47,600 –> 00:35:49,959
Speaker 1: where the game was won against the Raiders. The games

774
00:35:49,960 –> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: are always one on third down, but particularly in this one,

775
00:35:52,239 –> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders were one for nine on third down. Do

776
00:35:55,440 –> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 1: you know what they netted on their third down place?

777
00:35:58,520 –> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: Negative three yards? It’s ridiculous, it was insane. So the

778
00:36:02,160 –> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: Chiefs consistently on third down. We’re not letting Derek Carr

779
00:36:05,200 –> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: find his guys. Couldn’t find guys like renfro who actually

780
00:36:08,000 –> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: has twenty three catches on third down this year. He’s pesky.

781
00:36:11,160 –> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it’s really the best way to describe him.

782
00:36:12,680 –> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned that third and five, third and six, so’ll

783
00:36:14,960 –> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 1: catch him on a slant. It’s very frustrating that didn’t

784
00:36:17,400 –> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: happen against the Chiefs in Week ten. And they’re playmakers,

785
00:36:21,640 –> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: guys like Darren Waller, Guys like Josh Jacobs. Those two

786
00:36:24,560 –> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: guys combined for sixty yards total from scrimmage in that game.

787
00:36:28,520 –> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: We’ll see if Darren Waller plays in this one, like

788
00:36:30,239 –> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: you mentioned, but the Chiefs shut down their playmakers. They

789
00:36:32,840 –> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: shut him down on third down, and Derek Carr didn’t

790
00:36:35,200 –> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: have a big game. And as we’ve seen all season long.

791
00:36:36,840 –> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: When he doesn’t have a big game, they lose. Yeah,

792
00:36:38,760 –> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: I don’t sleep on Bran Edwards. You had the post

793
00:36:40,520 –> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: for thirty seven yards on touchdown. He’s a pretty good player. Yeah.

794
00:36:43,160 –> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: We’re gonna close it out this way and talk about

795
00:36:44,840 –> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: their defense really quickly. You can say what you want

796
00:36:47,719 –> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: about him. We can give out all kinds of stats.

797
00:36:50,840 –> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: But their ship that’s at sea is they have two

798
00:36:53,400 –> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: elite duo pass rushers all right in Yannick and goak

799
00:36:57,120 –> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: Way and Max Crosby. We talk about two headed running backs.

800
00:37:00,560 –> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: Matt and I were earlier this week on Kingdom Conversations

801
00:37:03,280 –> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: talking about it. But the best you always see these

802
00:37:06,960 –> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: duo and pass rushers. If you can get a pass rusher,

803
00:37:09,200 –> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: one from each site. Think of Neil Smith in the

804
00:37:10,800 –> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: late dry exaction. Okay, they have that, and so now

805
00:37:13,960 –> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I can shade protection, I can chaff,

806
00:37:16,080 –> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: I can help release, but when it’s coming from both ways,

807
00:37:19,040 –> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 1: the problems that they pose with that. And then Matt,

808
00:37:21,680 –> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: I’ll get your thought on Jonathan Abram because he’s the

809
00:37:23,760 –> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: other guy in the mix of I look at those

810
00:37:25,880 –> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: three defenders. They’re beat up at linebacker right now, but

811
00:37:28,280 –> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: those three defenders are elite players. Well, Max Crosby has

812
00:37:33,280 –> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: the potential to be an elite player and historically has

813
00:37:35,680 –> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: been a thorn in the side of every offense. But

814
00:37:38,600 –> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: if you look at what he’s done this year, I

815
00:37:40,239 –> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: mean’s he’s had sacks in two games. He had multiple

816
00:37:43,160 –> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: sacks in two games Week one, in Week six, and

817
00:37:45,480 –> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 1: then every other game has come up with a goose egg.

818
00:37:47,920 –> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: Now he gets quarterback pressures, he’s been he’s been discussed

819
00:37:50,840 –> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot of gets a lot of hurries and pressures,

820
00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: but when it comes to actually being that that difference

821
00:37:55,160 –> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: maker and getting it on the ground and that that

822
00:37:57,280 –> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 1: momentum that comes with sex. You know how how much

823
00:37:59,320 –> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: momentum change that sack is on big third damn plays.

824
00:38:02,719 –> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 1: It’s just he’s not been able to throw it into

825
00:38:05,840 –> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: that next gear like he’s been doing previously. So I

826
00:38:08,239 –> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: don’t know if Max geting a little bit old, I

827
00:38:09,760 –> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: don’t know what’s coming up. I don’t know if he’s

828
00:38:11,440 –> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: starting to kind of feel himself a little bit, or

829
00:38:13,880 –> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: maybe listening, you know, reading all the paper clippings about

830
00:38:16,239 –> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: how great he is, mad Max is taking over and

831
00:38:18,880 –> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. But I mean, he’s just

832
00:38:20,600 –> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: not getting home the way he used to, and even

833
00:38:23,040 –> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: with the addition of Gonquay on the other side, I mean,

834
00:38:26,560 –> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: he has eight sacks on the season, so he’s doing

835
00:38:28,400 –> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 1: his job very consistent, but he’s kind of feeding off everybody.

836
00:38:32,360 –> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: I’m shading towards Max. The double teams and the chips

837
00:38:35,400 –> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 1: being given to Max and he’s being left one on

838
00:38:37,400 –> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: one on his side. But I mean as a as

839
00:38:39,680 –> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: a total defensive line, trying to get pressure on on

840
00:38:43,080 –> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: a guy like Mahomes, who’s who’s a little bit more

841
00:38:45,160 –> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: mobile than average and he’s able to kind of have

842
00:38:47,120 –> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: that sixth sense, that spoider sense to know when it’s coming.

843
00:38:49,880 –> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it looks like it’s gonna be another long

844
00:38:51,640 –> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 1: day at the office for this pass rush to try

845
00:38:53,840 –> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: to get to Pat Mahomes and Sacks to me can

846
00:38:57,640 –> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: get they can become mental. We’ve seen that with their

847
00:38:59,840 –> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: own guys. And to try to chase sacks is like

848
00:39:02,920 –> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: trying to hit home runs in baseball, you fly out

849
00:39:05,440 –> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 1: or strike up. If you’re trying to hit line drives,

850
00:39:07,800 –> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: you hit home runs. And so that could be part

851
00:39:10,680 –> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: of it for Max, Like I gotta get to fifteen

852
00:39:12,360 –> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: sacks this year, Well, you’re only at five. Well, maybe

853
00:39:15,400 –> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: he’s been chasing a few instead of just just play.

854
00:39:18,840 –> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Abram’s an interesting guy. He’ll try to take your head off.

855
00:39:21,480 –> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: Like this guy’s one of the more physical safeties in

856
00:39:23,440 –> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 1: the league. But he’s also a very talented safety. Coming

857
00:39:26,440 –> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: out of Mississippi State. I loved him. But the secondary

858
00:39:29,880 –> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: has been a little bit beat up. The Chiefs took

859
00:39:31,400 –> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: some shots at him. What he’s seeing on the back

860
00:39:33,960 –> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: end of these guys. The Chiefs got him a few

861
00:39:36,080 –> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: times in that game in Vegas. That makes me wonder

862
00:39:38,719 –> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: for a guy like that is very prideful. To get

863
00:39:40,960 –> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: back to our earlier conversation, do you think a little

864
00:39:43,880 –> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 1: bit about that when the ball’s coming your way this

865
00:39:46,280 –> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: time around? Do you think a little bit about how

866
00:39:48,040 –> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: there’s plays made against you the first time? Now you

867
00:39:50,719 –> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 1: got to prove yourself, well, does that end up hurting

868
00:39:53,280 –> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: you in a way? Are you a step behind because

869
00:39:55,440 –> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: of that? I’m wondering if that will happen here in

870
00:39:57,600 –> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 1: this game that you know, their secondary does have a

871
00:39:59,800 –> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: lot of talent. Abram’s part of that. They only have

872
00:40:01,760 –> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: five interceptions though as a team, and you can be really,

873
00:40:06,000 –> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: really technically sound, but if you’re not making plays like

874
00:40:08,520 –> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: taking the ball away. That’s a big deal and we

875
00:40:10,600 –> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: just haven’t really seen that from the Raiders secondary this year.

876
00:40:12,640 –> 00:40:15,880
Speaker 1: They haven’t really taken the ball away. And also, if

877
00:40:15,880 –> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: you look at what the Chiefs did offensively against the

878
00:40:18,200 –> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: Raiders back in Week ten, the Chiefs had two hundred

879
00:40:21,440 –> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 1: and fifty two yards after the catch against the Raiders,

880
00:40:25,320 –> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty two. That was the third most

881
00:40:28,080 –> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: yards after the catch for any team in a single

882
00:40:29,840 –> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: game this season. It was over half of Patrick mahomes

883
00:40:32,800 –> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: passing total. Yes, it was insane. So if you can

884
00:40:35,480 –> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 1: hit a guy on a quick route, I mentioned earlier

885
00:40:37,320 –> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: how that kind of neutralizes the pass rush, you’re basically

886
00:40:39,880 –> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: forcing a dB to make a play. And consistently the

887
00:40:42,640 –> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs were beating those guys, and the Chiefs, to their credit, defensively,

888
00:40:46,360 –> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: they’ve been really good about not letting guys beat them

889
00:40:48,640 –> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: in open space, guys like Lagarius Need, Charvarius Ward. You

890
00:40:51,880 –> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: want your secondary to be willing tacklers, and I’m not

891
00:40:54,040 –> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: saying the Raiders aren’t, But the Chiefs found a lot

892
00:40:56,120 –> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: of success with that short passing game against the Raiders,

893
00:40:58,640 –> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: making plays after the catch. Then the big stuff downfield

894
00:41:01,520 –> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: opened up after that. So I’m hoping that we get

895
00:41:03,600 –> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: a similar concoction here this time around, because it really

896
00:41:06,360 –> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: worked back in Week ten. It’s what separates to me

897
00:41:08,880 –> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos defense from the Chargers and the Raiders defense

898
00:41:12,120 –> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: is the yards after catch category. Agreed, the Broncos don’t

899
00:41:14,800 –> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: give you many yards after catch. The other two teams

900
00:41:17,880 –> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: will it can. It was also big in the Cowboys game,

901
00:41:20,480 –> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: but the Chiefs are number one if you’re keeping tracking

902
00:41:22,840 –> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: home in yards after catch overall as a team, and

903
00:41:25,600 –> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: we know Kelsey’s like the valve ictorian of that stat.

904
00:41:28,800 –> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: Rematches National Football League. It’s a big part of December now,

905
00:41:33,680 –> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 1: the way the NFL has put the schedule together. But

906
00:41:36,360 –> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: here we go, it’s the Raiders. It’s the rematch and

907
00:41:39,160 –> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: otherwise touch down and the celebration begins in their hand.

908
00:42:00,080 –> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: The listed p
