Speaker 1: obviously enjoy that because all they want to do is

16
00:00:44,400 –> 00:00:45,919

25
00:01:09,800 –> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: Let me throw one out there though. The West Point

26
00:01:12,560 –> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: Sprint football team is growing among Kingdom defenders now the

27
00:01:17,800 –> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: sprint team, Matt is one hundred and seventy five pounds

28
00:01:21,920 –> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: and below. You cannot be one hundred and seventy six pounds,

29
00:01:24,560 –> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: meaning your tackles are like one seventy Everyone on the

30
00:01:27,640 –> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: team is under. Everybody’s going to be one hundred one

31
00:01:29,600 –> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: seventy five and below. It’s awesome. The academies do it.

32
00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: Some other schools do it. We have a Kingdom defender,

33
00:01:36,400 –> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: Sean McCallan, eight pleab by the way at West Point,

34

Speaker 1: who is on the sprint team at West Point and

35
00:01:43,160 –> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: is a somehow their rigorous schedule, they have time to

36
00:01:46,680 –> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: do a little podcasting and join us on defending the Kingdom.

37
00:01:50,800 –> 00:01:53,760

38
00:01:53,840 –> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: So not only the Chiefs against the Colts, but a

39
00:01:56,240 –> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: shout out to our West Point Kingdom defenders on the

40
00:01:59,320 –> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: sprint football team. Now it’s time before we get into

41
00:02:02,840 –> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: this Colts game, and this episode will be entitled Apples

42
00:02:07,320 –> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: Do Not Equal Apples. Let’s go around the world. Well, first,

43
00:02:10,919 –> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: I’m curious how the strategy works in sprint football. You

44
00:02:14,040 –> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: can’t run guys over, you can’t just blow guys off

45
00:02:16,280 –> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: the line, right. I want to see this with my

46
00:02:18,520 –> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: own eyes. I do too. I have not seen a

47
00:02:20,400 –> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: sprint football game, but I want to see it. Yeah,

48
00:02:22,600 –> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: I may have to find Army. Navy has got to

49
00:02:25,040 –> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: be streamed somewhere, so I’ve got to find sprint football.

50
00:02:28,560 –> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: We’ll watch it together. Yeah, that’s cool. I like that.

51
00:02:30,840 –> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Get pipped the dog and we’ll watch football. Yeah, that’ll

52
00:02:33,760 –> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: be great. I look forward to it. Maybe a bye

64
00:03:13,520 –> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals while he was at work on Monday morning.

65
00:03:16,760 –> 00:03:19,560

66
00:03:19,560 –> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: over the world in New Zealand, I love it. The

67
00:03:21,639 –> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: international date line does not matter to the Chief’s kingdom

68
00:03:24,680 –> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: now defending the kingdom now, I mean for him, it

69
00:03:26,680 –> 00:03:30,280

Speaker 1: got Sander in the Netherlands. He’ll be at the Bills game,

74
00:03:45,680 –> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: coming across the pond, gonna watch us play the Bills

75
00:03:48,200 –> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: here in Kansas City. Then we have William in Cambodia.

76
00:03:51,480 –> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: And this is a brand new country. Here. We have

77
00:03:53,400 –> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: a listener from Katmandu, Nepal. Yes, planted our flag and

78
00:03:58,680 –> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: Katmandu in the him Alayas. The Chiefs kingdom has planned

79
00:04:01,160 –> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: it’s flag on top of football’s highest summit. Yes, Neal,

80
00:04:04,800 –> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: you have done it. That’s so cool, can’t man du Nepaul. Yeah,

81
00:04:10,000 –> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: I’d do it. Fantastic, that’s awesome. I love it around

82
00:04:13,120 –> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: the world. We have so many Chiefs fans and so

83
00:04:15,320 –> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: passionate and happy with this two and o start. The

84
00:04:18,160 –> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs are the only undefeated team in the AFC West

85
00:04:20,920 –> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: after two weeks. But don’t let the numbers fool you

86
00:04:23,480 –> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 1: because they have to go play this week the Indianapolis Colts,

87
00:04:26,279 –> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: who are one and one and if you wrap around

88
00:04:29,560 –> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: to how they ended last year disappointingly, they lose in

89
00:04:33,000 –> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Week eighteen to the Jaguars and got bumped out of

90
00:04:35,680 –> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So that’s o three and one in the

91
00:04:38,320 –> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: last four games. But I’ve learned this in my twenty

92
00:04:41,760 –> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: nine years in the National Football League, just getting started.

93
00:04:44,880 –> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: Nothing is more dangerous early in the season late in

94
00:04:48,360 –> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: the season. It’s different early in the season than a desperate,

95
00:04:51,839 –> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: determined foe playing at home. And that’s what the Colts are.

96
00:04:56,720 –> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: They will dig their heels in. I’ve said it’s Alamo mode.

97
00:05:00,400 –> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: They are desperate to win this week and they’re playing

98
00:05:03,600 –> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: their home open Yeah, it’s their home opener and they’re

99
00:05:06,120 –> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: fighting for their season. Yeah, like you said, Now, the

100
00:05:08,839 –> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: good news for the Chiefs, let’s look at them here briefly,

101
00:05:11,440 –> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to play two games to open the season, with two

102
00:05:14,240 –> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: games in five days, and both of those games are

103
00:05:17,040 –> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: against pretty good opponents. The Cardinals who were in the

104
00:05:19,279 –> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: playoffs last year with a very good quarterback in Kyler Murray,

105
00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: and then the Chargers, who are one of the hungriest

106
00:05:24,839 –> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, playmakers everywhere, and we want to

107
00:05:27,920 –> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: remind them that the AFC still goes through g Eja Field,

108
00:05:31,240 –> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: that Arrowheads Stadium. That’s a tough start. And to win

109
00:05:33,839 –> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: both of those games with very little time to prepare

110
00:05:36,760 –> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: for the Chargers says a lot about this team. And

111
00:05:39,640 –> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: then you have the weekend off. It’s kind of like

112
00:05:41,400 –> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: a many bye week. But the challenge for the Chiefs

113
00:05:44,080 –> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: is doing exactly what you said, not looking back at that,

114
00:05:46,880 –> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: moving forward, approaching this Colts game and going into it

115
00:05:50,080 –> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: knowing this is a determined team and it won’t be

116
00:05:52,240 –> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: easy because the Colts are fighting for their season here

117
00:05:54,640 –> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: in this one. The good news is the Chiefs have

118
00:05:56,600 –> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: a team that’s been there and done that before. They

119
00:05:58,720 –> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 1: have exceptional leadership on the squad with coachried Patrick Mahomes,

120
00:06:02,400 –> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey. Even it permeates all the way through and

121
00:06:04,800 –> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: they’ll be ready for this game. Jujus miss Schuster, during

122
00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: his media session on Wednesday, said he doesn’t even know

123
00:06:10,360 –> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: who we play after the Colts. That’s the attitude we

124
00:06:12,560 –> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: want on this team right now, and I love it.

125
00:06:14,360 –> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: And this group has been this way since April, which

126
00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: was my thesis point of conditioning in preparation. The league

127
00:06:20,360 –> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: is at a precipice here trying to figure out how

128
00:06:22,080 –> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: do you really prepare a team for the beginning of seasons,

129
00:06:24,880 –> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: and Andy Reid could give seminars on it. That being said,

130
00:06:27,720 –> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: the Colts we mentioned are a desperate foe playing at home.

131
00:06:30,480 –> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: They’ve also been notoriously slow starters under Frank Reich. But

132
00:06:34,520 –> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: Frank loves comebacks. Remember he was the quarterback in one

133
00:06:37,640 –> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: of the greatest playoff comebacks of all time when he

134
00:06:39,839 –> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: was filling in for Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills

135
00:06:42,000 –> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: trailing thirty five to three in coming back to win.

136
00:06:44,720 –> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: But this is a cult team that under Frank is five,

137
00:06:47,600 –> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: eight and one in the first three weeks of season,

138
00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: and yet somehow they rally in either win the division,

139
00:06:53,880 –> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs sill last year narrowly miss. Now

140
00:06:57,440 –> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: this episode is called Apple’s Eke does not well. Apples

141
00:07:00,920 –> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: always say, hey, it’s an apples to apples comparison. Apples

142
00:07:04,080 –> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: do not always equal apples. We’ll get to that in

143
00:07:06,760 –> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: a second. Before we do, let’s just kind of skim

144
00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: over the Colts here and some things that are perplexing

145
00:07:10,720 –> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: about him. One is protection. In their first two games,

146
00:07:15,080 –> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: Matt the Colts spend forty two percent of their salary

147
00:07:18,960 –> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: cap on the offensive line. Quinton Nelson is a highly

148
00:07:22,480 –> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: decorated player and one of the best guards, some say

149
00:07:24,840 –> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: the best guard in the league. And then you have

150
00:07:27,120 –> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: a tackle like Braydon Smith the Kansas City Naty. He

151
00:07:29,360 –> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: played at a Lolitha South High school for the Falcons

152
00:07:31,960 –> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 1: here in the Sunflower League and then went on to Auburn.

153
00:07:34,640 –> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: They’ve got a lot of money invested in this line.

154
00:07:36,720 –> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: They got Ryan Kelly in there. He’s one of the

155
00:07:38,520 –> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: highest paid players in the league at center. And yet

156
00:07:43,160 –> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has been getting bludgeoned. He’s been sacked seven times,

157
00:07:46,320 –> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: hit eleven more times. He could barely breathe in the

158
00:07:49,000 –> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: game against the Jaguars. It was really tough. They’re better

159
00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: than that score would indicate, but that was pretty much

160
00:07:55,040 –> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: rock bottom I think for what this Colts team can

161
00:07:57,880 –> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: look like when things don’t go well for them. Michael

162
00:08:00,320 –> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Pittman didn’t play in that game at wide receiver. He’s

163
00:08:02,440 –> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: their top option at wide receiver. He had more than

164
00:08:04,680 –> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: one hundred yards receiving in their first game against the Texans,

165
00:08:07,200 –> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: the game that they tied, But he has a quad injury.

166
00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: We’ll see if he’s able to go this week. His

167
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: effectiveness will be a big thing to watch in this game.

168
00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: But without Michael Pittman, all of a sudden, things got

169
00:08:17,400 –> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: very difficult for this offense. And Matt Ryan scanning the

170
00:08:21,000 –> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: field trying to find somebody to throw too. He was

171
00:08:23,200 –> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: under duress the entire game. He’s pressured fourteen times against

172
00:08:27,080 –> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. He had three interceptions when he was pressured.

173
00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: He was just two of nine for eighteen yards when pressured,

174
00:08:34,240 –> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: and he was sacked five times. And because things started

175
00:08:37,160 –> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: to snowball a bit for their offense and the Jaguars

176
00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: were scoring, they couldn’t really get Jonathan Taylor involved either,

177
00:08:42,480 –> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: and we know how good he is. He’s one of

178
00:08:43,880 –> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: the best running backs in the NFL. Led the NFL

179
00:08:46,720 –> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: in like every category last year scrimmage yards, rushing touchdowns,

180
00:08:50,080 –> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards, but just nine carries last week against the

181
00:08:53,400 –> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: Jaguars because they had to score in bunches and Nicks

182
00:08:56,120 –> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: couldn’t do it this Colt’s team also struggled on third down.

183
00:08:59,480 –> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: They’re two ten on third down against Jacksonville, just nine

184
00:09:02,679 –> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: total first downs and they didn’t run a play in

185
00:09:05,240 –> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: the red zone until the fourth quarter. They are better

186
00:09:07,720 –> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: than that, especially with Michael Pittman, but it shows when

187
00:09:10,440 –> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: you can get pressure on Matt Ryan, it really changes

188
00:09:13,440 –> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: things for their offense when they can’t be on schedule.

189
00:09:16,000 –> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: And I really think that the lack of continuity at

190
00:09:18,280 –> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Colts has hurt them in the long run,

191
00:09:20,960 –> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: because you look, this year, it’s Matt Ryan. Last year

192
00:09:23,400 –> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: it was Carson wentz Yere. Before that, it was Philip

193
00:09:25,320 –> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: rivers Yere. Before that, it was a Jacoby Purcette, wasn’t

194
00:09:28,240 –> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: it The year before that it was Andrew Luck. So

195
00:09:29,840 –> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 1: every year it’s a new quarterback. It’s hard to develop

196
00:09:32,480 –> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: continuity and trust with your offensive line when it’s a

197
00:09:34,760 –> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 1: new guy back there every single time, kind of resetting

198
00:09:37,240 –> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: the offense. In fact, that’s top six quarterbacks six years. Yeah.

199
00:09:40,760 –> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: In the opening game, which is really weird for a franchise.

200
00:09:43,160 –> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: They the Andrew Luck decision surprised him. Oh yeah, in

201
00:09:45,880 –> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: the preseason. Yeah, in the preseason. Chris Ballard, we know

202
00:09:48,960 –> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: him very well. He was here and that thing he

203
00:09:51,280 –> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: just you know, they’re trying to recover since then. The

204
00:09:54,240 –> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor one is also perplexing. You mentioned his incredible

205
00:09:57,760 –> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: year last year. He had five hundred and fifty two

206
00:10:00,120 –> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: yards more than the second closest rusher, tells you what

207
00:10:03,240 –> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: kind of year he had. But he is last in

208
00:10:05,440 –> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: the league right now with five negative runs. You know,

209
00:10:08,400 –> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: they’ll try to get him going early, not just in

210
00:10:10,160 –> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: the run game, but in the past game. I think

211
00:10:11,800 –> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: that’s their primary game plan coming into this one, to

212
00:10:14,440 –> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: re establish who they are because that was their identity

213
00:10:17,160 –> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: last year and a lot of people around the league

214
00:10:19,240 –> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: fell in love with the Colts kind of in the

215
00:10:20,840 –> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: middle of the season, towards the end of the season.

216
00:10:22,520 –> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Before that, Jaguars lost at the very end because of

217
00:10:25,040 –> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: their ability to run the football and that set everything

218
00:10:27,360 –> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: else up for them. Jonathan Taylor is explosive. He’s not

219
00:10:30,640 –> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: just a lumberer at running back. He’s explosive. We saw

220
00:10:34,120 –> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: that in Week one he had five rushes of ten

221
00:10:36,240 –> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: or more yards. Didn’t really happen last week though, because

222
00:10:38,760 –> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: he was getting stuffed quite a bit. If when he

223
00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: is being explosive and getting to the second level that’s

224
00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: in this Colts offense is pretty scary. But for the

225
00:10:46,440 –> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense, if they can stop Taylor early, if they

226
00:10:49,160 –> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 1: can pressure Matt Ryan and they have to kind of

227
00:10:51,240 –> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: abandon that run, that’s where they really struggle. They’re also

228
00:10:54,480 –> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: last in the league in twenty one giveaway points. This

229
00:10:56,720 –> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: just is not the Colts. This is not what they do.

230
00:10:59,640 –> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: It’s who they are. And again they’ll be in full

231
00:11:02,679 –> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: on Alamo mode. Then they also didn’t have Alec Pierson.

232
00:11:06,000 –> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: You and I liked him. He’s second round pick for

233
00:11:08,760 –> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: them coming out of the University of Cincinnati. But we

234
00:11:10,679 –> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: were doing our draft studies. We both liked him. They

235
00:11:13,280 –> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: did not have him out with a concussion last week

236
00:11:15,679 –> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: as well. Okay, now we transition. Remember apples do not

237
00:11:19,440 –> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: always equal apples, and we’re going to look at the

238
00:11:22,160 –> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense in that regard after two weeks, and then

239
00:11:25,040 –> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: we’re gonna look at the Chiefs defense because it was

240
00:11:27,440 –> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: announced earlier this week that Willie Gay Junior, the Chief’s

241
00:11:31,280 –> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: third year linebacker, will be suspended for four games by

242
00:11:34,000 –> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: the National Football League. What happens now? People ask who

243
00:11:38,320 –> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: will be the replacement for Willie Gay Junior. Well, these

244
00:11:41,520 –> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: two discussions actually are parallel, even though it’s on different

245
00:11:45,559 –> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Let’s take the offense first. Okay,

246
00:11:50,240 –> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: the five month discussion was going to be who is

247
00:11:52,920 –> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: going to replace Tyreek Hill as the Chiefs of w

248
00:11:56,640 –> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: R one so to speak. Okay, let me just roll through.

249
00:12:00,040 –> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: He’s here and it gives you a bit of an idea.

250
00:12:02,120 –> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey in two games has sixteen targets thirteen catches.

251
00:12:06,520 –> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster after two games has eleven targets, nine catches.

252
00:12:11,400 –> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards E Layer has seven targets, seven catches. When

253
00:12:16,200 –> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: you look at Jerry McKinnon six targets, five catches, McCole

254
00:12:20,480 –> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: Hardman ten targets, six catches, Mark quisveld Is Scantling eleven targets,

255
00:12:25,720 –> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: six catches, throwing Noah Gray with five targets and three catches.

256
00:12:29,080 –> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: You catch my drift here. These targets have been spread

257
00:12:32,559 –> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: all over the place, front to back, side to side,

258
00:12:36,480 –> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: And if some have assumed now that the Chiefs are

259
00:12:38,760 –> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: even more difficult to defend than last year, you could

260
00:12:41,720 –> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: argue that point. All offseason long, people kept asking Patrick

261
00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes who is going to replace Tyreek Hill, and he said, well,

262
00:12:47,880 –> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: it’s going to be everyone. We’re going to spread the

263
00:12:49,600 –> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 1: football all over the place. He was telling the truth.

264
00:12:52,360 –> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: We can see that did the first two games. Now

265
00:12:54,840 –> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: nine different players have caught a pass and each of

266
00:12:57,200 –> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: their first two games, the defense doesn’t know where the

267
00:13:00,280 –> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: ball is going. It can go anywhere. How about that

268
00:13:02,320 –> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon touchdown reception against the Chargers last week when

269
00:13:06,280 –> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: Mahomes is going full sight arm on his right foot,

270
00:13:08,679 –> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: can’t even get set no problem, finds McKinnon in the

271
00:13:11,400 –> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: end zone and Justin Watson with one of the biggest

272
00:13:14,120 –> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: plays of the season so far. When the pressure is

273
00:13:16,840 –> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: collapsing around Patrick Mahomes, he finds a way to step

274
00:13:20,120 –> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: up in the pocket. And these guys have only played

275
00:13:22,320 –> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: one regular season game together up until that point, and

276
00:13:25,280 –> 00:13:27,439
Speaker 1: Watson still knows, Hey, I need to keep working for

277
00:13:27,520 –> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: my quarterback. I’m gonna put JC Jackson on skates, steep

278
00:13:30,440 –> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: down the field and get wide open for a big

279
00:13:32,440 –> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: touchdown catch. He talked about how after the game that

280
00:13:35,520 –> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: they worked on that in Texas way back in April.

281
00:13:38,160 –> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: So even though they’re new to each other in terms

282
00:13:40,080 –> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: of regular season games, they’re not new to each other

283
00:13:42,400 –> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: in terms of their comfortability with one another at all,

284
00:13:44,880 –> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: because they’ve been working for months together. That’s showing, I think.

285
00:13:48,640 –> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: And how about sky Moore. He wasn’t involved a lot

286
00:13:50,960 –> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: in the game against the Chargers, but we know what

287
00:13:52,840 –> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: he can do. So the fact that the Chiefs have

288
00:13:54,920 –> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: so many weapons on offense, you never know where the

289
00:13:57,160 –> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: ball is going. It’s going to be very difficult to

290
00:13:59,320 –> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: defend this offence this year and we’re seeing that so far. Yeah.

291
00:14:03,360 –> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: In fact, if you can find the interview I had

292
00:14:05,559 –> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs Kingdom Show on the Chiefs

293
00:14:08,000 –> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: Rudio network, those are your Kingdom defrienders around the world.

294
00:14:11,600 –> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: If you can find that archive from the Chiefs Radio Network,

295
00:14:14,640 –> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: go to their site. It was a fascinating discussion because

296
00:14:17,920 –> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: we got into that and the fact that this season

297
00:14:20,400 –> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: really began when Patrick had his own OTAs in Texas.

298
00:14:24,560 –> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: But Justin Watson actually brought that route with him from

299
00:14:27,240 –> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. He had it with Tom Brady. So one

300
00:14:30,160 –> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: of the first things. And again Patrick didn’t know, you

301
00:14:33,200 –> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: know J. Watt at the time, like, who is this dude?

302
00:14:36,200 –> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: He’s fast, he’s got to catch radius. Who is this guy?

303
00:14:39,880 –> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: But they he brought that route. They call it a

304
00:14:42,000 –> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: chair route, but it’s basically kind of a loop out

305
00:14:44,560 –> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: and then busted up the middle. They were working in April.

306
00:14:47,520 –> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: But then Patrick said, now let’s just tweak this a bit.

307
00:14:49,920 –> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 1: Just knock it over. Tick tick tick, give him that look,

308
00:14:53,160 –> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: but then bust it off. If we get the look

309
00:14:55,000 –> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: in the secondary we want, that’ll work. Keep in mind

310
00:14:57,760 –> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 1: that was third and ten, yeah, at the forty one

311
00:15:00,160 –> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: yard line when the Chiefs ran that place. So what

312
00:15:02,920 –> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: happened was Watson brings the play from Tampa Bay. She’s

313
00:15:06,520 –> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: kind of had it two but still Mahomes goes nop,

314
00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: don’t run it three steps out, just take one step

315
00:15:12,160 –> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: and influenced J. C. Jackson and then pop it and

316
00:15:15,120 –> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: we saw what happen when how was manifested on the field,

317
00:15:19,000 –> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: which leads me to this point. I’m curious what you

318
00:15:21,000 –> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: think here because also in the offseason, who’s going to

319
00:15:23,760 –> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: apples to apples? Right, who’s the apple to replace the

320
00:15:26,720 –> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: apple Tyreek Hill? Apples don’t always equal apples. Well, wait

321
00:15:30,880 –> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: a minute, there’s not going to be big plays for

322
00:15:32,560 –> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in two games. In two games, the Chiefs

323
00:15:36,360 –> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: are top four in the National Football League with eight

324
00:15:40,280 –> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: plays of twenty yards or more. But hear me on

325
00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: this one. Clyde Edwards ze Layer has two of them,

326
00:15:46,320 –> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty five and thirty one. Travis Kelsey has two of

327
00:15:49,640 –> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: them thirty five and twenty six. Sky Moore you mentioned,

328
00:15:53,280 –> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: has one catch for thirty yards, Watson forty one yards,

329
00:15:57,640 –> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster has a twenty yard catching. Mc Hardman

330
00:16:00,520 –> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: has a thirty yard catch. That’s eight from six different guys.

331
00:16:04,400 –> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: Let’s give credit here to Tyreek Hill. Leads the NFL

332
00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: with five twenty plus catches in two weeks. One guy.

333
00:16:11,080 –> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: Six guys have eight. And that’s just passing plays, right,

334
00:16:14,840 –> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: That’s just passing because yeah, the running plays throw him

335
00:16:17,880 –> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, that that doesn’t inclue Clyde Edwards a

336
00:16:19,640 –> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: layer busting off a fifty two yard run to help

337
00:16:22,120 –> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: ice the game. Against the Chargers, he averaged more than

338
00:16:25,480 –> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: nine yards per carry on his eight rushes. And the

339
00:16:28,240 –> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: screen game is also working. That gets back to some

340
00:16:30,480 –> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: of the plays you alluded to, because he was busting

341
00:16:32,440 –> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: off big screen games as well. The Chief’s ability to

342
00:16:35,440 –> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: run the football successfully and use that screen game as

343
00:16:38,520 –> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: something we were hoping we’d see early in the season,

344
00:16:40,880 –> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: and we’re seeing it so far. And yeah, again, when

345
00:16:43,200 –> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: you have so many different competent receivers who can catch

346
00:16:46,120 –> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: the ball like the Chiefs do right now, you’re going

347
00:16:48,040 –> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: to have explosive plays. And we’re seeing defenses we were

348
00:16:51,080 –> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: really wondering how they’d play the Chiefs so far this year.

349
00:16:53,440 –> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: The Cardinals ran a bunch of single high and descending blitzes.

350
00:16:56,960 –> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: The Chargers blitz a little bit too, which I was

351
00:16:58,840 –> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: surprised by. If they’re going to do that, the Chiefs

352
00:17:01,200 –> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: are going to take advantage of it. And if they

353
00:17:03,040 –> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: don’t choose to do it, if they want to play

354
00:17:04,760 –> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: too deep, the Chiefs will eat underneath all day long

355
00:17:07,440 –> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: because they have all these different guys that they can

356
00:17:09,200 –> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: rely on to catch the football, and they plays after

357
00:17:11,800 –> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: they catch it. It doesn’t have to always be Patrick

358
00:17:13,840 –> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes throwing at fifty yards. It can be Clyde Edwards

359
00:17:16,320 –> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: a l catching a ten yard pass and then making

360
00:17:19,119 –> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: three guys miss and it turning into a thirty yard game, right,

361
00:17:21,840 –> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: And we’re seeing that so far, So very excited about

362
00:17:24,800 –> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: this offense. The Arizona game was great because everything was perfect,

363
00:17:28,359 –> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 1: everything was working, thirty three first downs, more than four

364
00:17:31,119 –> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards of offense, fourteen players that gained

365
00:17:34,520 –> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: ten or more yards. But the beauty of the Chargers

366
00:17:37,000 –> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: game is everything wasn’t perfect. Things weren’t on schedule. The

367
00:17:40,119 –> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Chargers pass rush is really good, we all know that,

368
00:17:42,760 –> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: and they still found a way to score and found

369
00:17:44,880 –> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: a way to win. That’s what I love about the start.

370
00:17:46,880 –> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: We’ve seen both ways. This offense can win, and it’s

371
00:17:49,240 –> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: not just when things are going perfectly and the Chargers

372
00:17:51,800 –> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: are really really good on defense. You alluded to that

373
00:17:54,040 –> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: the Colts are too, particularly if they get the artists

374
00:17:56,760 –> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: formerly known as Darius Leonard back. He is now shuk

375
00:18:00,000 –> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: A Leonard as of July the twenty second, and we

376
00:18:02,560 –> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: respect that. So Shaquille Leonard, if he’s back, is a

377
00:18:05,160 –> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: tackling machine like seven hundred tackles. Over four years, he’s

378
00:18:09,080 –> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: been the leading tackle in the National Football League. But

379
00:18:11,600 –> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: Quddy pays really good up front. He leads them with

380
00:18:14,160 –> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: four sacks in two games in the OH one and

381
00:18:16,119 –> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: one start. Buckner’s up there too, played against the Chiefs

382
00:18:18,920 –> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl fifty four. OH. They have Stephan Gilmore,

383
00:18:21,560 –> 00:18:23,719
Speaker 1: a former Defensive Player of the Year in this league,

384
00:18:23,880 –> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: in the corner. So they’ve impact guys at all three levels.

385
00:18:26,560 –> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: Expect a scrap for this balanced offense in Week three.

386
00:18:29,920 –> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: They have a lot of big name players on this defense,

387
00:18:32,800 –> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 1: particularly up front, like the guys you mentioned. The weird

388
00:18:35,359 –> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: thing though about the Jacksonville game, as they didn’t get

389
00:18:37,440 –> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: any pressure at all. They had four pressures in that game,

390
00:18:40,359 –> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: those names that you just mentioned. Only getting four pressures

391
00:18:43,160 –> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: is crazy. And Trevor Lawrence is getting the ball out quick.

392
00:18:45,920 –> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: He had the best game of his career just moving

393
00:18:48,400 –> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: the ball down the field. And if you can get

394
00:18:50,440 –> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: the ball out quick, if you’re Patrick Mahomes, get your

395
00:18:52,560 –> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: playmakers the football quickly, it really negates that pass fresh

396
00:18:55,960 –> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: So this defense, as good as they are and as

397
00:18:58,840 –> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: talented as they are, they struggled so far. And I

398
00:19:01,640 –> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: think not having Shack Winnard is a big reason behind that.

399
00:19:04,240 –> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: He’s their quarterback. He’s the quarterback of this defense. Right

400
00:19:06,640 –> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: This is the number nine scoring defense in the NFL

401
00:19:09,520 –> 00:19:12,239
Speaker 1: last year. But they have struggled quite a bit. And

402
00:19:12,320 –> 00:19:14,959
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Stefan Gilmore is who he is. He’s

403
00:19:15,000 –> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 1: a great player, but outside of him, their coverage has

404
00:19:17,160 –> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: struggled as well. Yeah, they have a unique knock away,

405
00:19:20,200 –> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: but he has. He had a thirty five Pro Football

406
00:19:22,920 –> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: Focus rating last week, like in gok Way. Yeah, they’ve

407
00:19:26,000 –> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: got some other sneaky guys. I better go who they

408
00:19:29,240 –> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: picked up from Minnesota kind have been around the league

409
00:19:31,760 –> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: a bit. He can be sneaky on the pass fresh

410
00:19:34,359 –> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 1: but I think we all can agree now or at

411
00:19:36,280 –> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 1: least see it in front of our eyes, not just

412
00:19:40,520 –> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: our imagination anymore. Matt and I saw it this summer.

413
00:19:43,200 –> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: We tried to tell you in during training camp and

414
00:19:45,960 –> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: during OTA’s look out because this offense will be different

415
00:19:49,840 –> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: in some ways more effective. We’ve seen that big play,

416
00:19:52,440 –> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 1: spread it around, attack you side to side, and up

417
00:19:55,359 –> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: and down the field. It’ll be tough. I’m assignment against

418
00:19:58,280 –> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: the Colts this week, But let’s go to the defensive

419
00:20:00,840 –> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: side of the ball now again. This episode of Defending

420
00:20:03,080 –> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 1: the Kingdom is entitled Apples Don’t equal Don’t always equal apples? Okay.

421
00:20:08,280 –> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: On the defensive side, the news came down Monday afternoon

422
00:20:11,920 –> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: that Willie Gay Juniors had a really good start to

423
00:20:14,080 –> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: this season, will be suspended by the National Football League

424
00:20:17,240 –> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: for four games. This is you can go back and

425
00:20:20,320 –> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: just Google search it if you want. If you’re around

426
00:20:22,480 –> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: the world and you’re in Nepal and SKA, well, why

427
00:20:26,320 –> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: is that you can find it? It’s Google searching. The

428
00:20:29,480 –> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: people are saying, gosh, who is going to replace Willie

429
00:20:31,960 –> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: Gay Junior? Okay, the offense has given you a lesson

430
00:20:35,440 –> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: here because the answer is apples don’t always equal apples.

431
00:20:39,800 –> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: There are all kinds of schemes, personnel and approaches that

432
00:20:44,040 –> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: SPAGS does anyway to answer this question. This is why

433
00:20:47,840 –> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: depth is so important. And depth was the emphasis of

434
00:20:51,080 –> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: this entire offseason, and we saw that in the draft,

435
00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: we saw it in free agency. It’s not just about

436
00:20:55,960 –> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: feeling good about the guys you have in the starting lineup,

437
00:20:58,840 –> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: it’s who is going to in if needed. And we

438
00:21:01,600 –> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: knew that at some point over the course of a

439
00:21:03,760 –> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 1: seventeen game season, you’re going to have to fill in

440
00:21:06,600 –> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 1: those roles and we’re having to do it here, and

441
00:21:08,960 –> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: I feel really good about the options that we have.

442
00:21:10,960 –> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: So Coach Read spoke on Wednesday, he said, at linebacker,

443
00:21:13,760 –> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: the first guy is probably Darius Harris, who Darius Harris

444
00:21:16,680 –> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: has been around a little bit now for the Chiefs.

445
00:21:19,359 –> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: He hasn’t played a lot, but in terms of his

446
00:21:22,040 –> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: comfort level with the defense, kind of knowing the scheme,

447
00:21:24,480 –> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: he’s actually been here longer than any other linebacker in

448
00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: the linebacker room. So Nick Bolton spoke about him, so

449
00:21:29,800 –> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: that he knows the scheme like the back of his hand,

450
00:21:31,800 –> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: and he plays with a lot of energy, which is great.

451
00:21:33,920 –> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, you can put him out there, he’s going

452
00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: to do his job. But it’s not just at linebacker.

453
00:21:38,640 –> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: We can fill in with an extra safety, maybe three safeties.

454
00:21:41,600 –> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: Is something that we’ve seen Spags do quite a bit

455
00:21:43,320 –> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: with this defense over the last several years, and we

456
00:21:45,600 –> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: have the playmakers to do it, a guy like Brian

457
00:21:47,480 –> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Cook who’s like a safety linebacker hybrid kind of player basically.

458
00:21:52,000 –> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 1: So I’m excited to see how Spags deploys this group

459
00:21:55,119 –> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: with Willie Gay not out there. But this defense is

460
00:21:58,000 –> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: really off to a great start, which is so excited.

461
00:22:00,240 –> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: We had hoped for this. Justin Reid said during training

462
00:22:03,440 –> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: camp that they wanted to start the season this way

463
00:22:05,720 –> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: because they didn’t want to have to dig themselves as

464
00:22:07,480 –> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: a hole then prove that they’re a good defense in

465
00:22:09,560 –> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: the middle of the year. They wanted to come out

466
00:22:11,480 –> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: right away and be an attitude defense. That was their

467
00:22:14,160 –> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: rallying cry throughout the offseason training program, and we’re seeing

468
00:22:17,880 –> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: that so far. The pressure on Justin Herbert in that

469
00:22:21,400 –> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: game against the Chargers was just awesome. They pressured Herbert

470
00:22:25,119 –> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: on eighteen of his dropbacks, eighteen of them. Numerous different

471
00:22:29,480 –> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: guys that got pressures, Guys like Chris Jones, George Carloftas

472
00:22:32,440 –> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: Frank Clark, Mike Dana Leo Chanelle got a pressure. It

473
00:22:35,400 –> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: was coming from everywhere, and really Herbert when he was

474
00:22:38,920 –> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: trying to lead that comeback or trying when the game

475
00:22:40,920 –> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: was tied, even trying to get the Chargers back on

476
00:22:42,680 –> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: the board, he just never had any time. And it

477
00:22:45,000 –> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: was awesome to see from this pass rush. This defense

478
00:22:47,600 –> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: in general has been very encouraging to start and let’s

479
00:22:50,280 –> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: hopefully keep it going here against the Colts, Chris Jones

480
00:22:52,640 –> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: had the highest rating of any interior alignment in Week

481
00:22:55,680 –> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: two in the National Football League. That tells you and

482
00:22:58,560 –> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: think about who he’s going against. It’s a good Charger

483
00:23:00,640 –> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: offensive line on defending the Kingdom. We try to get

484
00:23:05,000 –> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: bring up thoughts here and just let you go, wow,

485
00:23:07,000 –> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: we didn’t. I mean, that’s a different way of looking

486
00:23:08,840 –> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: at it, and that’s what we’re trying to give that here.

487
00:23:11,640 –> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: Coach mentioned Darius Harris and let’s go back, go back

488
00:23:13,840 –> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty. If you find the Atlanta game. He

489
00:23:16,160 –> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: was thrust into action then and made one of the

490
00:23:17,880 –> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: bigger plays in that game where Atlanta is going to

491
00:23:20,440 –> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: working for the upset. So he has been around a while,

492
00:23:24,960 –> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: but he could change in one snap. Let’s say he’s

493
00:23:27,400 –> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: out there the first snap against the Colts. On the

494
00:23:29,440 –> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: second snap, he could be out of there. It could

495
00:23:32,240 –> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: be a three safety dime look with the three safeties

496
00:23:35,119 –> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: you talked about with Cook, Thornhill and Read, or even

497
00:23:39,359 –> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: at the linebacker spot. That could be Leo’shanal, it could

498
00:23:42,520 –> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: be Elijah Lye. The one constant here is Nick Bolton,

499
00:23:46,760 –> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: whether it’s dime, nickel, base, whatever. I look for the

500
00:23:49,760 –> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: Colts to try to force the Chiefs into base, meaning

501
00:23:52,840 –> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: they will go with two tight ends, probably two backs,

502
00:23:55,359 –> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: and force the Chiefs into three linebackers. I think that’s

503
00:23:58,200 –> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 1: what they will try to do, and try to run

504
00:23:59,520 –> 00:24:01,239
Speaker 1: the ball down hill and play pass out of that.

505
00:24:02,400 –> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: I just it’s my assumption here makes sense. It could

506
00:24:05,680 –> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: change the first snap. You’re going, wow, it’s Darius Harris.

507
00:24:08,520 –> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: It’s Darius Harris. Yeah, maybe for one snap and then

508
00:24:11,960 –> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 1: Chanelle runs into the game. Or it’s Elijah Lye, or

509
00:24:14,680 –> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs can play this. I’m looking at these combinations.

510
00:24:17,240 –> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: They can go big nickel. They can play those three

511
00:24:19,520 –> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: safeties with two corners. They could play those three big

512
00:24:22,320 –> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: safeties with three three corners here, or they could play

513
00:24:25,080 –> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: straight up nickel. Remember how good Lagarius Sneet is in

514
00:24:27,640 –> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: the slot both as a rusher and as a run defender.

515
00:24:30,880 –> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: Or let’s see, they could go sixtyb’s total with four

516
00:24:33,600 –> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: corners and two safeties. I as mentioned three safeties in

517
00:24:37,240 –> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 1: three corners. What makes this happen to me? The pressure

518
00:24:40,560 –> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: people say, gosh, it’s on the linebackers, it’s on a

519
00:24:42,800 –> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Darius Harris, it’s on Elio Channel, it’s on elijahlie I

520
00:24:46,359 –> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: think it’s on the safeties, and you alluded to it

521
00:24:48,560 –> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: because the fact that they can play in the box,

522
00:24:50,280 –> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: are going to play in the box and cover. They’re

523
00:24:52,400 –> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: gonna have to do it all here. But all three

524
00:24:54,800 –> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: of those guys and don’t throwt I mean, Dean Bush

525
00:24:56,840 –> 00:24:59,239
Speaker 1: may run out there at some point. Okay, we’ve seen that.

526
00:24:59,720 –> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: But these three safeties are all willing to play in

527
00:25:01,760 –> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: the box, all are physical, all are athletic. They can

528
00:25:04,200 –> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: tackle and they can cover, and so that is an

529
00:25:06,640 –> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: asset for this team. So you’re going, well, who’s going

530
00:25:09,080 –> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: to replace Willie Gay Jr. Apples to apples. Apples don’t

531
00:25:13,240 –> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: equal apples, because these safeties could be the biggest part

532
00:25:17,760 –> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: of this answer to this equation. And let’s talk about

533
00:25:20,240 –> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: the conditioning of this defense, because that is shown through

534
00:25:22,960 –> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: two weeks, and I think the fact that the Chiefs

535
00:25:24,880 –> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: are often the better conditioned team can help make up

536
00:25:27,320 –> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: for a loss of a major player like Willie Gay.

537
00:25:30,160 –> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: We saw that conditioning on full display on the game

538
00:25:32,880 –> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: changing play when tight end Gerald Everett for the Chargers

539
00:25:36,680 –> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: made a big play to get them inside the five

540
00:25:38,840 –> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: yard line. They went tempo. The Chiefs defense said, Okay,

541
00:25:42,359 –> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: we’ll stay tempo. We’ll keep the same guys in the

542
00:25:44,040 –> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: field here, and then Herbert went for Gerald Everett on

543
00:25:46,560 –> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: the very next play. Everett was gassed, didn’t run his

544
00:25:48,920 –> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: full route, and who was right there? Jalen Watson, playing

545
00:25:52,359 –> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: in his first game here in Kansas City, here at home,

546
00:25:54,600 –> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: in front of his new fans, picks it off, returns

547
00:25:57,200 –> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: at ninety nine yards for a pick six. Totally changes

548
00:25:59,720 –> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: the game. That gets back to the depth point as well,

549
00:26:02,400 –> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: because you lose Trent McDuffie going into this game, you’re like,

550
00:26:05,160 –> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: oh man, that’s terrible. I mean, he’s one of our

551
00:26:07,680 –> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: better young players and we don’t have them against a

552
00:26:09,400 –> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: division rival, no problem. Jean Watson fills in makes the

553
00:26:12,640 –> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: game changing play. But that conditioning is super important, especially

554
00:26:16,040 –> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: when the Colts the kind of football they want to play,

555
00:26:18,280 –> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: like we talked about earlier, is running the ball over

556
00:26:20,600 –> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: and over again, short passes, wearing you out. And I

557
00:26:23,040 –> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: feel good about this Chief’s defense that they will not

558
00:26:25,119 –> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: get worn out even if there’s a long drive, and

559
00:26:27,359 –> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: they can defend every blade of grass like they did

560
00:26:29,640 –> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: against the Chargers and force the Colts to score off

561
00:26:33,119 –> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: a long drive and not just give in after a while.

562
00:26:36,040 –> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: So I feel good about that, and that has its

563
00:26:37,880 –> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: roots and how difficult coachry training camps are. There’s a

564
00:26:41,040 –> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: reason they work so hard and so they’re ready for

565
00:26:43,240 –> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: moments like that. Yeah, and they’re all willing run defenders.

566
00:26:46,720 –> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: You have to be against Jonathan Taylor, even Naheim Hines,

567
00:26:49,520 –> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: who can run screens. He’s a really good pass receiver.

568
00:26:52,640 –> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: But the corners on this team have always been under

569
00:26:54,840 –> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: Steve Specnolo willing run defenders, So apples don’t always equal

570
00:26:59,800 –> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: out parenthetical thought here before we close, let’s give some

571
00:27:03,480 –> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: credit here to Tommy Townsend and Matt Amon. Yeah, okay,

572
00:27:06,960 –> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: Tommy Townsend’s game against the Chargers was way overlooked. He

573
00:27:10,400 –> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: averaged fifty five yards a punt. He basically stole a

574
00:27:14,119 –> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: possession away from the Chargers at the end of the

575
00:27:16,680 –> 00:27:19,360
Speaker 1: second quarter with a punt taking eleven seconds and going

576
00:27:19,440 –> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: seventy four yards. Otherwise, the Chargers going to think about

577
00:27:22,359 –> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: at least getting three. They get zero, and it just

578
00:27:26,359 –> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: it’s just easy to overlook a Tommy Townsend’s best game.

579
00:27:29,480 –> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: I know we never want to punt. That means the

580
00:27:31,520 –> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: offense didn’t do their job right. We know we don’t

581
00:27:33,640 –> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: ever want to punt but when you have to punt,

582
00:27:35,720 –> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: you hope that you have a guy back there who

583
00:27:37,680 –> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 1: can be a weapon for you on special teams and

584
00:27:40,000 –> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 1: flip the field, because if you think about that game,

585
00:27:42,400 –> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: how terrible would it have been if it’s a shanked punt.

586
00:27:45,440 –> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: The Chargers are in field goal range already and they

587
00:27:47,480 –> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: add to their lead going into halftime. You have no

588
00:27:50,119 –> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: momentum they get the ball coming out of half. I

589
00:27:52,280 –> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: mean that that would be, in a lot of way,

590
00:27:54,040 –> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: is a game killer for the Chiefs. And Tommy Townsend

591
00:27:56,440 –> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: comes out there boots a seventy four yard punt seventy

592
00:27:59,640 –> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: four arts. That’s the longest punt for any player this year.

593
00:28:02,320 –> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: It’s the third longest since last season began, and he

594
00:28:05,560 –> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: ends up penning the Chargers way back on their own

595
00:28:07,960 –> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: side of the field. They can’t get anything going, and

596
00:28:10,080 –> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: we know how the game ended. I’m just really proud

597
00:28:12,480 –> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: of Tommy. He’s been working hard over the last couple

598
00:28:15,200 –> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: of years and he’s turned into one of the better

599
00:28:17,000 –> 00:28:19,719
Speaker 1: punters in the NFL. So we can’t forget about him

600
00:28:19,920 –> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: and Matt. I’m Inndola to come in here as a

601
00:28:22,640 –> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: mercenary essentially, to come in here and you hope he

602
00:28:25,359 –> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 1: doesn’t have to have a bunch of big moments because

603
00:28:27,440 –> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: you believe in him. But he just got here, right,

604
00:28:29,440 –> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: That’s a lot of pressure. But you wouldn’t know he

605
00:28:31,640 –> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: just got here based on how he played because that

606
00:28:33,720 –> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: last field goal attempt there was a lot of pressure there.

607
00:28:36,160 –> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: That makes it a two score game. That’s a huge,

608
00:28:38,440 –> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: huge kick, no problem at all. Ice in his veins

609
00:28:41,160 –> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: snails the kick. It says a lot about Brett Veach

610
00:28:44,080 –> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: and his front office staff that they have a list

611
00:28:47,080 –> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: of guys who are ready to go. If something happens

612
00:28:50,080 –> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: and Harrison Bucker got hurt, they find Matt I’m indola,

613
00:28:52,920 –> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: bring him on in here and make some big plays

614
00:28:54,840 –> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: in a big game for the Chiefs. Did you say

615
00:28:56,880 –> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: shank punt? Put? Hit? The punter for one of the

616
00:29:03,120 –> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: biggest players of the Buffalo game last year in the

617
00:29:05,760 –> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: divisional playoff victory the thirteenth second game was a shank

618
00:29:09,440 –> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: punt by Matt Hawk of the Buffalo Bills. Now he’s

619
00:29:12,560 –> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: a dolling Maroon from Des Moines, Iowa, got it, guess too.

620
00:29:16,480 –> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: The punter for the Colts is now Matt Hawk. Okay,

621
00:29:19,920 –> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: they also fired their kicker after Week one Rodrigo Blanketship.

622
00:29:23,200 –> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: He was one of eight kickers to miss a field

623
00:29:24,880 –> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: goal either in late in the fourth quarter in overtime

624
00:29:26,680 –> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: he scanked a forty two yard or that was eight

625
00:29:29,920 –> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: guys did that in Week one, an NFL record. So

626
00:29:32,480 –> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: Rodrigo Blanketship gone. They’re still trying to figure it out.

627
00:29:34,960 –> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: We’re going to close it this way, Matt Patrick Mahomes.

628
00:29:38,040 –> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: If the Chief’s defense we just talked about it holds

629
00:29:41,120 –> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: the opponent, and think about Patrick Mahomes is in as

630
00:29:44,000 –> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: fifth year now as the QB one for the Kansas

631
00:29:46,520 –> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. If the Chiefs defense holds the opponent to

632
00:29:49,840 –> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: twenty seven points or less, the Chiefs are forty five

633
00:29:54,840 –> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: and one. It’s pretty good. The one loss the Colts

634
00:30:00,520 –> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, nineteen to thirteen. Your wife is so

635
00:30:06,560 –> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: good in making sure you have a nutritious diet. Have

636
00:30:11,040 –> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: you told or apples still in equal apples? I haven’t yet,

637
00:30:14,000 –> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: but I will when I get home and I think

638
00:30:16,480 –> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: about that game. I think about the game in twenty

639
00:30:19,080 –> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: thirteen in the playoffs, I think about the game in

640
00:30:21,440 –> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: two thousand and three in the playoffs. I think about

641
00:30:23,880 –> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: the games in the late nineties. It thrown two thousand

642
00:30:26,760 –> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: and six two we didn’t get a first down. Yeah,

643
00:30:28,640 –> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: I think about that game. For a lot of people

644
00:30:31,160 –> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: around my age and older. You look at the Colts

645
00:30:34,840 –> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: and you’re like, let’s beat these guys. And that’s how

646
00:30:37,560 –> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: I feel about this game, even though we beat them

647
00:30:39,680 –> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: in two thou eighteen in the playoffs. Sponge your point.

648
00:30:43,360 –> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: It did that got rid of demons, right, but still,

649
00:30:48,040 –> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: let’s beat these guys, and I’ll my younger self will

650
00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: be cheering in my mind. Apples may not equal apples,

651
00:30:55,200 –> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: but one thing is certain. Early in the National Football

652
00:30:58,320 –> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: League season. You can study this in Middle Terry history too.

653
00:31:01,480 –> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: One of the most difficult teams to beat is a

654
00:31:05,280 –> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: dug in, desperate team playing on their home turf. For

655
00:31:09,520 –> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: Matt mcmulland I’m Mitch Holt’s apples don’t equal apples. Undefending

656
00:31:13,160 –> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: the Kingdom touchdown lot down and the celebration begins in

657
00:31:20,400 –> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: their head.
