43
00:02:32,000 –> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: then three Raider Week memories. So Jim’s first ever Chiefs

44
00:02:35,320 –> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: game was a win over the Raiders back in nineteen

45
00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: eighty nine. Then a Chiefs fan ever since. Of course

46
00:02:39,600 –> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: sounds like a yes, yep, it was nine to six,

47
00:02:42,200 –> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: I believe, but still yes. Yeah. We’ve got Seth his

48
00:02:46,600 –> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: favorite game. We should have talked about this one last week.

49
00:02:49,200 –> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: His favorite one was the twenty thirteen game when Terrell

50
00:02:51,639 –> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: Pryor had like the third and forty eight and that

51
00:02:54,320 –> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: was the noise record game, the initial noise record game. Yeah,

52
00:02:57,120 –> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: we should have talked about that one, but that was

53
00:02:58,960 –> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: Seth’s favorite one. Who’s Abdulah had to pick six as well?

54
00:03:02,000 –> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: That was an awesome one. And then Jonathan remembers the

55
00:03:05,240 –> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: play that I mentioned, Remember Jared Page’s interception and the Enzelli. Yeah,

56
00:03:09,680 –> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: he remembers exactly where he was when that happened. He

57
00:03:12,840 –> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: was driving east on the Viaduct and Council Bluffs, Iowa

58
00:03:16,280 –> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: listening to you. Yeah, Omahawk Council Bluffs. Love it. Tons

59
00:03:20,840 –> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: of Chiefs fans there who are anticipating this next Chiefs

60
00:03:24,200 –> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: Bills game. I say, Chiefs Bills Ted Lasso, why each

61
00:03:27,720 –> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: one of these games? Ever since Patrick Mahomes became the

62
00:03:30,400 –> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: QB one of the Chiefs and Josh Allen the QB

63
00:03:33,040 –> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: one of the Bills shop, it has been like the

64
00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Ted Lasso episodes, the Ted Last Series, which is phenomenal. Okay,

65
00:03:40,880 –> 00:03:44,119
Speaker 1: Jason Sudeikis, who is Ted Lasso, a huge Chiefs fan,

66
00:03:44,720 –> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: right He grew up Shawnee Mission West High School, played

67
00:03:48,120 –> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: for Fort Scott for the Greayhounds. That’s his alma maters

68
00:03:52,720 –> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: Fort Scott Community College. But we know Sudeikis is a

69
00:03:55,600 –> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: big Chiefs fan along with our kind of comedian Chiefs.

70
00:03:58,160 –> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: We love them. So that’s good. Ways always whenever is

71
00:04:01,720 –> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: that that two that two headed monster when it comes

72
00:04:04,320 –> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: to the quarterback position. Throughout my career, there’s been different

73
00:04:08,240 –> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: times in the league where there’s been two quarterbacks. Everybody

74
00:04:10,880 –> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: knows just as an elite above the rest, it just

75
00:04:13,320 –> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: sits on a different plateau. And so when you when

76
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: you have a chance to see those two go head

77
00:04:17,839 –> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: to head. Um. I know at some point in the

78
00:04:19,720 –> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: season everybody thought it was the Pat Mahomes versus Tom Brady,

79
00:04:23,480 –> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: the old goat versus a new goat. But if you

80
00:04:25,520 –> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: break down the mindset and the offensive powers that are

81
00:04:30,600 –> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: at the Buffalo Bills and at the Kan City Chiefs,

82
00:04:32,880 –> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: you’ll realize that the one in one A is really

83
00:04:35,320 –> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: between the kan City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. Those

84
00:04:37,880 –> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: are the two offenses that, no matter how you defend them,

85
00:04:40,839 –> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: there is no lead that is safe. There is no um,

86
00:04:43,880 –> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: there is no comfort zone in playing those two weeks.

87
00:04:46,520 –> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: The defensive coordinator on both teams stays up countless hours

88
00:04:50,760 –> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: extra night trying to find a way, some way, some

89
00:04:53,480 –> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: formula to put a little bit of extra pressure to

90
00:04:55,920 –> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: speed up the clock on both of these guys, and

91
00:04:58,560 –> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: both of them lights out. They love to invite pressure,

92
00:05:02,680 –> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: they love to strike big, They love throwing the ball

93
00:05:05,600 –> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: down the field. I still remember challenging each other who

94
00:05:08,760 –> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: can throw it out the stadium? Who when they was

95
00:05:11,480 –> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: both young players. One in which one of them could

96
00:05:13,440 –> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: throw the ball eighty yards in the air first for

97
00:05:15,920 –> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: that long long long throw contest. They’re still kind of

98
00:05:19,080 –> 00:05:22,679
Speaker 1: leaving that for us to find out. But we all

99
00:05:22,680 –> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: know the one thing we do know. We know Pat

100
00:05:24,400 –> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: is a better golfer. We know Patrick, he made that

101
00:05:27,279 –> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: very clear in that shootout that he’s a better golfer

102
00:05:30,200 –> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: than Josh Shallen. But on the field, it’s still a

103
00:05:32,400 –> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: little bit left to be determined. I mean, we know

104
00:05:34,520 –> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: that Patrick got it hometown, we love him. But on

105
00:05:37,720 –> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: a national level, man, you know, fantasy football is big

106
00:05:40,760 –> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: when it’s come time to draft that first quarterback in

107
00:05:43,360 –> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues, i’man Josh Allen was the first

108
00:05:45,600 –> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: quarterback taking and Mitch. I feel like when Mahomes first

109
00:05:48,680 –> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: came on the scene in twenty eighteen, we knew he

110
00:05:51,480 –> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: was going to be this guy one of the best

111
00:05:53,720 –> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and all the football, a guy that at this

112
00:05:55,560 –> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: point we believe is the best quarterback and all the football.

113
00:05:58,360 –> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: But immediately you start looking for who is his villain,

114
00:06:01,600 –> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: who is his Peyton Manning to his Tom Brady, And

115
00:06:04,680 –> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: if for comparing my Chiefs to the Patriots, who is

116
00:06:06,680 –> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: our Indianapolis Colts. That rivalry wasn’t a division rivalry or anything,

117
00:06:11,160 –> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: but those two teams always went at it every single year,

118
00:06:13,640 –> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: and you knew the AFC went through one of those

119
00:06:15,520 –> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: two stadiums, and I think we have that with Josh

120
00:06:18,000 –> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: Allen and the Bills seeing them. This will be the

121
00:06:20,560 –> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 1: fifth time now, just in three seasons, and every year

122
00:06:24,120 –> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: we’re planning on playing these guys not once but twice,

123
00:06:27,240 –> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: and hopefully we get the better of him and this

124
00:06:29,320 –> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: first matchup assuming we see him later on in the

125
00:06:31,160 –> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: playoffs here in October. Yeah, and just like Ted Lasso episodes,

126
00:06:35,360 –> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: it’s so well written, you don’t there’s unique drama in

127
00:06:38,160 –> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: every episode, like what’s going to happen next? That’s the

128
00:06:40,720 –> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: feeling you get in these Chiefs Bills games. You mentioned

129
00:06:43,240 –> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: there’s been four previous matchups, two in the regular season,

130
00:06:45,720 –> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: two in the postseason. The twenty twenty weird regular season

131
00:06:49,880 –> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: game was in front of no one. There was nobody

132
00:06:52,400 –> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: in that stadium. It was COVID, it was raining, Clyde

133
00:06:55,120 –> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: Edwards Ler goes for one sixty four. Chiefs looked like

134
00:06:58,480 –> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: West Point in the game. This ran the ball every time.

135
00:07:01,080 –> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: It was crazy. Then in the postseason, the Chiefs win

136
00:07:04,000 –> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game in front of a I don’t

137
00:07:06,720 –> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: know what third field, eh field at Airhood Stadium. Chiefs

138
00:07:10,360 –> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: win it. Stefan Digg stands out and watches the Chiefs

139
00:07:13,560 –> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: ceremony to win the AFC Championship and get the Lamar

140
00:07:17,480 –> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: Hunt Trophy again. Then last year in the regular season,

141
00:07:20,720 –> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: another weird script because there was a lightning delay for

142
00:07:24,200 –> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: like ninety minutes and the Bills clabered the Chiefs just

143
00:07:27,560 –> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: clabered up dominated him throughout the entire game. And then

144
00:07:30,680 –> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: the weird thirteen second You could live two lifetimes and

145
00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: never see that game again of this battle between these

146
00:07:38,160 –> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: two great quarterbacks and the Chiefs tie the game at

147
00:07:40,760 –> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: thirteen seconds, got overtime and win it in overtime in

148
00:07:43,640 –> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: a game when that game combined was ridiculous. You see

149
00:07:47,600 –> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: what those two quarterbacks did in that game. Three twenty

150
00:07:50,280 –> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: nine for Josh Allen in that game, and the Chiefs

151
00:07:52,760 –> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: had three seventy eight from Patrick Mahomes. So, guys, last

152
00:07:56,440 –> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: year and we featured this on the franchise. Before that

153
00:07:59,440 –> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Bills Chief Divisional playoff game, I had the premonition that

154
00:08:02,800 –> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: something amazing could happen I’m trying not to overstate this game,

155
00:08:08,280 –> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: but honestly, I’m not sure I’ve done a game like this,

156
00:08:10,840 –> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: even Super Bowl fifty four or fifty five. And the

157
00:08:13,600 –> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: enormity of the game that’s obvious when you look at

158
00:08:16,200 –> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: the level of excellence all across the board with these

159
00:08:19,120 –> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: two teams, I’m not sure I’ve seen it like that.

160
00:08:21,440 –> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Me broadcasting this game tonight is as much for posterity

161
00:08:25,200 –> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: and history as it is for the person driving on

162
00:08:27,840 –> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: I seventy listening to the game. Every moment in this

163
00:08:31,720 –> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: game tonight, every moment could be a piece of history.

164
00:08:36,559 –> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: I’m living in two worlds tonight, the world of the

165
00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: present and the world of the future. Now, when the

166
00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: Bills play the Chiefs, we’re expecting excellence in two shops point. Now,

167
00:08:49,880 –> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: this is an NFL history coming up, because you’ve got

168
00:08:53,040 –> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes fifteen touchdown passes, Josh Allen’s accounted for sixteen touchdowns total.

169
00:08:58,120 –> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: If you look at the average touchdowns the two quarterbacks

170
00:09:00,960 –> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: meeting together, it’s the most in National Football League history

171
00:09:05,200 –> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: in the regular season for these two guys coming together.

172
00:09:08,240 –> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: So here we go the next episode. What are we

173
00:09:11,480 –> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: thinking this is going to happen? I’ll let you go first, man,

174
00:09:13,960 –> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: instant classic. If you had a polaroid and you wanted

175
00:09:16,400 –> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: to take a picture to last forever, you would take

176
00:09:18,120 –> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: a picture of these two quarterbacks right meeting at the

177
00:09:21,920 –> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: middle of the the field before the game, shaking each other’s

178
00:09:24,280 –> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: hand because they know it’s going to be a shootout.

179
00:09:25,800 –> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: They know they know that they’re each other’s air apparent,

180
00:09:28,120 –> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: they know that each other in some way there’s a

181
00:09:30,640 –> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: necessity for one another. That’s how Patrick is so good

182
00:09:33,800 –> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: is because he knows every weekend he’s got to kind

183
00:09:36,280 –> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: of look at the stats and see what did Josh

184
00:09:38,000 –> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: Shallen do, what kind of numbers he put up? And

185
00:09:40,320 –> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: it just constantly, constantly push each other to greatness. And

186
00:09:43,640 –> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: you need that. You need every great athlete knows it

187
00:09:45,840 –> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: needs to be somebody in your locker room or some

188
00:09:47,559 –> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: opponent there is constantly pushing you. When the lights are

189
00:09:50,320 –> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: off and nobody’s looking for you, to open up that

190
00:09:52,559 –> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: playbook and get back to studying, to watch a little

191
00:09:55,120 –> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: bit more film to understand how am I going to

192
00:09:57,360 –> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: attack this defense once again? And from a defensive standpoint, man, listen,

193
00:10:01,800 –> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: we know that this defense is a little bit of

194
00:10:04,160 –> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: a variation of what we do here, Um, Steve Spagnola,

195
00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Sean I mean Dermott, they both kind of come off

196
00:10:09,480 –> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: that Jim Johnson Tree, God bless the soul and the

197
00:10:12,160 –> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: defense I was a part of. It’s high pressure, in

198
00:10:14,760 –> 00:10:17,959
Speaker 1: your face. It’s fundamentally sound. They don’t do all the

199
00:10:18,000 –> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: trick them stuff. They’re not trying to put somebody in

200
00:10:21,240 –> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: front of Kelsey and only play nine guys on the

201
00:10:25,000 –> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: other ten guys. And what we saw last week, it’s

202
00:10:27,640 –> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: very fundamentally sound defense. They want to challenge you with

203
00:10:31,600 –> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: your technique and with your ability to run your plays,

204
00:10:34,640 –> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: and then they want to just hit you. They want

205
00:10:36,040 –> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: to out hit you. They want to be the tougher

206
00:10:38,320 –> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and they want to dominate the trenches.

207
00:10:40,800 –> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: And what we gotta worry about with Buffalo, And yes,

208
00:10:43,280 –> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 1: I am worried about von Miller. I’m worried about what

209
00:10:45,760 –> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: he can do coming off the edge. But they have

210
00:10:47,840 –> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: a lot of the pass rushers up there. They can

211
00:10:49,760 –> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: put some heat on Patrick when needed. So we got

212
00:10:53,520 –> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: to do really good job in first downs. We gotta

213
00:10:56,440 –> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: make sure our first downs are plus plays. Get us

214
00:10:59,120 –> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: in second management, get us in manageable third down plays,

215
00:11:02,240 –> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: continue to have that ball, do what we’ve been doing

216
00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: all year long, moving the ball down the field, scoring

217
00:11:07,280 –> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: when we need to in the red zone, and in defensively,

218
00:11:10,360 –> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: just not giving up any of those big chunk plays

219
00:11:13,920 –> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: that you know that Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs are

220
00:11:17,040 –> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: just going to be pining for it. They’re gonna be

221
00:11:20,160 –> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: watering out the mouth to try to throw that ball

222
00:11:21,960 –> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: down the field against our defense. Let me just tag

223
00:11:24,520 –> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: a couple of things here, Matt, get your thoughts before

224
00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: I do that. In the fact that the Bills are

225
00:11:30,400 –> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: super impressive this year. They’re able to get pressure without blitzing.

226
00:11:33,400 –> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: They have the highest pressure rate without blitzing in the

227
00:11:36,000 –> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: National Football League. And the dudes they can rotate. Now,

228
00:11:40,280 –> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: they had some injuries last week they blow out the

229
00:11:42,440 –> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: Steelers and still had major injuries. But the fact that

230
00:11:45,360 –> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: they’ve got about eight dudes up front, so Von Miller

231
00:11:48,320 –> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: can come in just whenever he wants. They keep him fresh.

232
00:11:51,559 –> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: Greg Rousseau, remember he snapped the ball Venus fly trap

233
00:11:54,920 –> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: last year on an interception with Patrick Mahomes. Aj Epanessa,

234
00:11:58,559 –> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: former Riowa Hawkeye is big here, Boogie Basham. He’s a

235
00:12:02,360 –> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: really good player. Then in the middle. They got a

236
00:12:04,679 –> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes. They have eight starters. In my opinion,

237
00:12:08,080 –> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: there are eight starters in their defensive front that could

238
00:12:11,520 –> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: play for anybody, start for anybody, but they’re able to rotate.

239
00:12:15,000 –> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: None of those guys play more than sixty percent of

240
00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: their snaps. They don’t wear them down, and so it’s

241
00:12:21,720 –> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: this is for real now with this front you talk about, well,

242
00:12:24,400 –> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: it’s the number one scoring defense in the NFL. They’re

243
00:12:26,960 –> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: allowing just over twelve points per game. The Chiefs right

244
00:12:29,800 –> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: now are the number one scoring offense in the NFL.

245
00:12:32,640 –> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have more touchdowns than any other team twenty

246
00:12:35,120 –> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year. So it’s a total best on best

247
00:12:38,440 –> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: kind of game. It’s funny because we were just talking

248
00:12:40,559 –> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: about this a few weeks ago with the Buccaneers. They

249
00:12:42,640 –> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: were the number one scoring defense in the NFL, and

250
00:12:45,160 –> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: then Chiefs scored forty one points on him. So hopefully

251
00:12:47,240 –> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: we see something similar here in this game. But the

252
00:12:50,040 –> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: thing with these quarterbacks is that neither of these guys

253
00:12:53,040 –> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: is ever out of the game. Yes, we saw that

254
00:12:55,520 –> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football with Patrick Mahomes. We already know

255
00:12:58,040 –> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: this with him, but he proved it yet again. It’s

256
00:13:00,280 –> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: seventeen than nothing against a very hungry division rival who

257
00:13:04,400 –> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: knows you well they want nothing more than to beat you,

258
00:13:07,679 –> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: and that was an opponent that is fighting for their season.

259
00:13:10,720 –> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: They have you down seventeen to nothing. Everything is going

260
00:13:13,240 –> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 1: their way, and there’s no panic. Everyone watching that game

261
00:13:16,679 –> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: new this game isn’t over. No one turned that game

262
00:13:18,840 –> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: off and the Chiefs win that game. That’s what Patrick

263
00:13:21,480 –> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes does. Josh Allen does that too, for being honest.

264
00:13:24,600 –> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: And we saw that earlier this season against the Baltimore Ravens.

265
00:13:27,360 –> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: They had a very raider light game against the Ravens

266
00:13:30,000 –> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: where nothing was going right. Early on they were down

267
00:13:32,040 –> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: twenty to nothing. Ye to your point, they were down

268
00:13:34,080 –> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: twenty to nothing. Yep, the Ravens were getting turnovers. I

269
00:13:36,440 –> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: mean everything was going to Ravens way. I was watching

270
00:13:38,480 –> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: that game in our hotel room before the game that

271
00:13:41,559 –> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: we played against Tampa Bay. Yeah, I was watching it,

272
00:13:45,559 –> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: just not believing what I was seeing. And then by

273
00:13:47,360 –> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: the time I got to Raymond James Stadium, the Bills

274
00:13:49,480 –> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: had tied it. So that says what Josh Allen can do.

275
00:13:52,280 –> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: So both Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in this game

276
00:13:54,760 –> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: neither of them is ever out of the game, and

277
00:13:56,600 –> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: that’s what you want with the two best quarterbacks in

278
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: the NFL. Going ahead to head. I’m also excited about

279
00:14:01,960 –> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: this game because it’s much different in terms of the

280
00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: context going into the regular season matchup and last year.

281
00:14:08,040 –> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: Last year, the Chiefs were going through some pretty weird

282
00:14:10,080 –> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: stuff offensively. At that point, the defense had really struggled

283
00:14:13,760 –> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: and the offense was still trying to find its identity

284
00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: a little bit because we were seeing these two high

285
00:14:18,440 –> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: shell coverages by opposing defenses and we were kind of

286
00:14:22,040 –> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to combat that because the

287
00:14:23,960 –> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: deep stuff wasn’t open. I believe we were two and

288
00:14:26,480 –> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: two going into that game, kind of fighting to stay

289
00:14:29,120 –> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: afloat a little bit, and the Bills were rolling and

290
00:14:31,640 –> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: they got the better side of it in that one.

291
00:14:34,200 –> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: We all know that. But this time both teams are

292
00:14:37,040 –> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: four and one. Both teams are feeling really good about

293
00:14:39,760 –> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: their previous performance. The Bills because they blew out the

294
00:14:42,120 –> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: Steelers and the Chiefs because they came back from that

295
00:14:44,360 –> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: big deficit. And whoever wins this game, I know it’s

296
00:14:47,160 –> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: just Week six, but whoever wins it, we’ll have the

297
00:14:49,200 –> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: top record in the AFC, and I feel much better

298
00:14:51,920 –> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: as a Chiefs fan going into this game this time

299
00:14:54,160 –> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: around than I did last year. Yeah, and that was

300
00:14:56,480 –> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: the deflection game. Remember the ball bounces off Tyreek Hills,

301
00:14:59,400 –> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: bad luck, Micah Hyde gets a pick six, and it

302
00:15:02,680 –> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: was those kind of things. But I want to ask

303
00:15:04,080 –> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: you about because then ted Lasso. We’re saying here, you know,

304
00:15:07,280 –> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs Bills are ted Lasso, meaning that every one of

305
00:15:10,600 –> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: these Bills Chiefs games with Mahomes and Allen has this

306
00:15:13,280 –> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: own what’s going to happen next? Feel to it? In

307
00:15:17,000 –> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: ted Lasso if you follow it, there’s Nate, the character

308
00:15:19,760 –> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: who’s been loyal to ted Lasso. But the last scene

309
00:15:22,280 –> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: of the last series or last getting ready for the

310
00:15:25,440 –> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: next group that comes out, goes to the dark side.

311
00:15:28,560 –> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: He goes to the other side. He goes to the

312
00:15:30,360 –> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: villains team, right, And so here’s Sean McDermott, who was

313
00:15:34,840 –> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: starting at the very beginning stages of his career with

314
00:15:39,160 –> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles and Andy Reid. So now here’s McDermot and

315
00:15:42,520 –> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: he’s like the Nate figure, like, oh no, he’s going

316
00:15:44,840 –> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: off and now he wants to destroy. And but I

317
00:15:48,680 –> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: want to ask you because the Bills are impressive here

318
00:15:51,800 –> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: quick strike drives. They have scored thirty five times in

319
00:15:57,440 –> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: their fifty three possessions, thirty five times op in four

320
00:16:02,120 –> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: or less place that is crazy. We saw it on

321
00:16:05,840 –> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: the ninety eight yard or last week against the Steelers,

322
00:16:08,280 –> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: they’re at the two whoop, So I would be Gabriel

323
00:16:10,720 –> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Davis ninety eight yards. As a defender, you’re a Chief’s defender.

324
00:16:14,760 –> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: You’re playing the crazy at Josh Allen RPO game and

325
00:16:17,960 –> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: he can take off and run and he ain’t running

326
00:16:19,840 –> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: eight yards and sliding. He’s going for fifty and yet

327
00:16:23,000 –> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: he can wing it down the field. How do you

328
00:16:25,440 –> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: play that as a defender and not give up the

329
00:16:27,720 –> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: huge play. I think he’s got to be smart and

330
00:16:29,800 –> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: understand that they are electric, they are exciting. They do

331
00:16:32,840 –> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: have this being, the ability to striking and this attack.

332
00:16:37,760 –> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: You attack your end zone in one player less and

333
00:16:40,720 –> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: with that knowledge, I think we do the exact thing

334
00:16:43,320 –> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 1: that everybody was doing to Patrick last year. You go

335
00:16:45,960 –> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: with the two shell, you have deep safeties, You play

336
00:16:48,360 –> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: them like they’re playing cinephild for baseball, and you kind

337
00:16:51,560 –> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: of dare Alan to see if he’s courageous enough, discipline

338
00:16:55,920 –> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: enough to take what you’re giving him and then when

339
00:16:58,200 –> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: those underneath receivers catch the ball, you gotta come up

340
00:17:01,000 –> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: and dislodge them. You gotta you gotta make a purpose

341
00:17:03,760 –> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: to make sure that you’re hitting him. And then they

342
00:17:05,680 –> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: remember each one of those hits and we had the

343
00:17:07,880 –> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: safe piece to do it um on Thornhill, Justin Reid

344
00:17:11,200 –> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: and Brian Cook. Those guys are some of the hardest

345
00:17:13,040 –> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: hit and safeties in the league this year. And if

346
00:17:15,000 –> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: all those threes have that mentality of was keep them

347
00:17:17,920 –> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: snapping the ball in front of us, and then once

348
00:17:20,119 –> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: they catch the ball, we’re gonna go up there and

349
00:17:21,840 –> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: hit him to dislodge the ball. That’s the difference. And

350
00:17:24,960 –> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: if they want to incorporate a lot of that quarterback

351
00:17:27,680 –> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: rushing quarterback RPO systems again, I think we have to.

352
00:17:31,400 –> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: We saw at firsthand there were some guys on this

353
00:17:33,520 –> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: team that were making some game decisions, some business decisions,

354
00:17:36,560 –> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: and sometimes they just didn’t choose to put their nose

355
00:17:39,680 –> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: in there sometimes and they would rather just wrap them

356
00:17:42,320 –> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: up and they would being a little bit gentle with

357
00:17:43,680 –> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Now, when when when that quarterback breaks that

358
00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: huddle and you see him coming on a quarterback sweep

359
00:17:49,720 –> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: or a quarterback counter and he breaks through the line

360
00:17:52,280 –> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. You hit him like he’s a like, like

361
00:17:54,880 –> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: he’s a Jerome bettis coming through it. You hit him

362
00:17:57,440 –> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: like he’s all start with the ball. You gotta hit

363
00:18:00,119 –> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 1: them and really put him on his butt, put him

364
00:18:02,240 –> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: on his backside in a mean, in the ferocious way

365
00:18:05,119 –> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: to let him know. I’m sending a message up into

366
00:18:07,600 –> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: the booth to the offensive coordinator. You keep running this

367
00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: cat if you want. He might not make it to

368
00:18:11,440 –> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: this game, much less the whole season. So you got

369
00:18:14,680 –> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: to put some questions in their mind about how they’re

370
00:18:17,119 –> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: going to be calling those plays for the rest of

371
00:18:18,640 –> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: the game. And that puts a little bit of doubt

372
00:18:21,520 –> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: I think an offensive coordinator as far as what he

373
00:18:24,000 –> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: can call throughout the game. When you talk about those

374
00:18:26,200 –> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: quarterback runs. It’s a fabulous point something that happened last

375
00:18:29,600 –> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: year and we’ve talked about on the offseason, but in

376
00:18:31,960 –> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: that regular season game, when the Chiefs would go to

377
00:18:34,880 –> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: their six safety, one linebacker, look, it was green light

378
00:18:38,640 –> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. It was like big green light because

379
00:18:41,440 –> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: what he did was said, we ain’t gonna throw it,

380
00:18:44,000 –> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: We’re gonna run quarterback power we’re gonna run quarterback, lead

381
00:18:47,359 –> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: and take. They scored in five plays. It was a

382
00:18:50,080 –> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: knife through butter. Now, I think the Bills are better

383
00:18:53,960 –> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: this year than the twenty twenty one Bills. Of the

384
00:18:55,760 –> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Bills. I think right now, right now, the

385
00:18:58,800 –> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: Bills are the most complete team in the National Football League.

386
00:19:01,560 –> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: But if you do that again, green light might mean

387
00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 1: thighed contusion because the Chief’s defense, ain’t they are weird different.

388
00:19:10,720 –> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: You just nail it. They’re weird different than the group

389
00:19:13,560 –> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: that was playing that four one six last year. And

390
00:19:16,080 –> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: it starts at bolting. We gotta get lesson that young

391
00:19:19,119 –> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: man has created a style of hitting. When he touches you,

392
00:19:23,640 –> 00:19:26,640
Speaker 1: you go down. Yeah, like yeah, everybody misses at tackle

393
00:19:26,760 –> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: every blue moon. But when he puts his paws on you,

394
00:19:28,760 –> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: he puts those bear claws on you, or maybe those

395
00:19:30,880 –> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: those tiger claws since he’s from Missouri, um and ze

396
00:19:33,880 –> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: batty running backs go down right away, and just an

397
00:19:38,680 –> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: arrogance of his ability and his understanding of where to

398
00:19:41,800 –> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: fit in how to play downhill football as a linebacker.

399
00:19:46,240 –> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: I’m I’m sometimes mesmerized just to keep my eye on

400
00:19:49,359 –> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: him every snap of every play, and us He’s done

401
00:19:52,560 –> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: an amazing job and I always like to just tip

402
00:19:54,280 –> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: my hat to that young man. Josh Shannon leads the

403
00:19:57,160 –> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Bills in rushing. He has more rushing yards than Clyde

404
00:20:00,040 –> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire. All right, but Nate here, the antagonist who

405
00:20:05,720 –> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, is probably going to not be just so

406
00:20:08,680 –> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: green light to let him run because he may run

407
00:20:11,480 –> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: into Nick Bolton on one of those five runs. And

408
00:20:14,400 –> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: it was just going to take one shot, hit one shot,

409
00:20:17,160 –> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: we know, and I think the Bills have been like, oh,

410
00:20:19,160 –> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 1: maybe we want to rethink this little bit, all right.

411
00:20:22,000 –> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: To me, the Bills have kind of taken over the

412
00:20:24,080 –> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: role of the Chiefs. Shot just talked about it, this

413
00:20:26,080 –> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: quick strike, I mean the role of the Chiefs in

414
00:20:27,800 –> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: nineteen and twenty. But the Chiefs now to me feel

415
00:20:31,240 –> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: like the New England Patriots of the mid two thousands.

416
00:20:34,280 –> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: Why they’re playing different, but they’re being incredibly efficient in

417
00:20:38,119 –> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: the red zone. You talk about first down efficiency, that’s

418
00:20:40,359 –> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: my big thesis of this year. But in the red zone,

419
00:20:44,200 –> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: these guys have been awesome. I mean, twenty three possessions

420
00:20:47,240 –> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: in the red zone, best in the league, nineteen touchdowns.

421
00:20:50,160 –> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: I’m not mistaken eighteen touchdowns. But they’re using tight ends,

422
00:20:53,359 –> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: running backs are attacking you latterly, and they’re playing arena

423
00:20:57,160 –> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: football and doing it better right now than anybody in

424
00:20:59,280 –> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: the league. Well, first of all, hearing Shop talk about

425
00:21:01,359 –> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: how he wants our guys to wrap up and tackle,

426
00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: it reminded me of in the Raiders game. He was

427
00:21:06,680 –> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: a big gain by Josh Jacobs, a big run, but

428
00:21:09,320 –> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: Justin Reid stood his ground. I was imagining that. You

429
00:21:11,840 –> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: just cheering DURINGI and Jacob’s tried rolling him over. Yeah, yeah,

430
00:21:16,280 –> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, to his credit, Justin did take a big hit,

431
00:21:18,320 –> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: but he still stopped him exact and good for Justin

432
00:21:20,480 –> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: to standing his ground. That’s what you need against the

433
00:21:22,640 –> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. And what is that bug in a windshield?

434
00:21:25,640 –> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: We saw it a couple of times when it’s Bolton,

435
00:21:28,200 –> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: it’s a bug Za Winshield. I don’t care if it

436
00:21:30,720 –> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: is Josh Jacobs or Josh Allen. Yeah you can. You

437
00:21:32,880 –> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: can run that four one six with Nick Bolton in

438
00:21:35,160 –> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: the middle, And I feel really good about that because

439
00:21:37,040 –> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: Nick can go out and cover a little bit too.

440
00:21:39,040 –> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: And if you’re gonna run, he’s going to stop you.

441
00:21:41,480 –> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: But that’s really the key to the game. I mean,

442
00:21:43,560 –> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: the Bills are averaging more than six yards on first down,

443
00:21:46,840 –> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: that’s the most in the NFL. They have the best

444
00:21:49,480 –> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: third down offense in the NFL because they don’t have

445
00:21:51,680 –> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: to go very far because they average so much on

446
00:21:53,760 –> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: first down. The quarterback power game, like you guys were

447
00:21:56,480 –> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: talking about, is the key to all of this, I think,

448
00:21:58,520 –> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: because if it’s third and three, the Bills are in

449
00:22:01,320 –> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: a shotgun. Everyone knows what they’re going to do. Everybody knows,

450
00:22:04,600 –> 00:22:06,239
Speaker 1: and you just have to be able to stop it.

451
00:22:06,359 –> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: And I think we really do have the personnel now

452
00:22:08,800 –> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: to stop it. These guys are a big play offense

453
00:22:11,280 –> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: though as well as you said, Mitch, I mean it’s

454
00:22:13,000 –> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: a big play passing offense. Allen is averaging eight point

455
00:22:15,800 –> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: three yards per attempt. He’s fourteen passes of twenty five

456
00:22:18,920 –> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: or more yards this year and the second best passer

457
00:22:21,240 –> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: rating on deep passes in the NFL. The most important

458
00:22:24,960 –> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: thing with these guys, you cannot let them be on schedule.

459
00:22:27,640 –> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: You can’t let them be in a rhythm and feeling it.

460
00:22:30,240 –> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: If you can sack Josh Allen, if you can have

461
00:22:32,800 –> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: a delay of game penalty, even just stuff to get

462
00:22:35,160 –> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: them out of sync, kind of like what we saw

463
00:22:36,840 –> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: at the Raiders in the second half in the game

464
00:22:38,680 –> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: on Monday, all of a sudden, it’s not as easy

465
00:22:41,480 –> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. And when they make mistakes, you

466
00:22:44,480 –> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: have to capitalize on it. You have to If Josh

467
00:22:46,920 –> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Allen throws you the ball and you’re able to pick

468
00:22:48,920 –> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: him off at midfield, you’ve got to go and score

469
00:22:50,840 –> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: a touchdown. The one game they lost this year against

470
00:22:53,400 –> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, that’s what the Dolphins did when they

471
00:22:56,600 –> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: turn the ball over, the Dolphins scored. The Bills missed

472
00:22:58,840 –> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: a field goal, the Dolphins scored. So this isn’t one

473
00:23:01,680 –> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: of those games where there’s a lot of margin for error. It’s,

474
00:23:03,840 –> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the two best teams in the NFL.

475
00:23:06,119 –> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: And when you’re playing the Buffalo Bills and they make

476
00:23:08,920 –> 00:23:11,239
Speaker 1: a mistake, you’ve got to capitalize on it. And this

477
00:23:11,320 –> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: is the same exact conversation they’re having an Orchard Park

478
00:23:14,160 –> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: right now about away. So that’s the important thing here

479
00:23:17,040 –> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: with this team is you’ve got to make sure you

480
00:23:18,560 –> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: capitalize on their mistakes if they make them. Yeah, you

481
00:23:21,320 –> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: lead to my final point that I want to bring

482
00:23:23,080 –> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: up and get your reaction here to it. I have

483
00:23:25,680 –> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: found a few cavities here and the Bills they’re hard

484
00:23:27,880 –> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: to find. I mean you got to dig through the

485
00:23:30,280 –> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: find it. But one is their red zone offense. They’ve

486
00:23:32,920 –> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: struggled you. I mean, they’re blowing out Pittsburgh, gonna get

487
00:23:35,800 –> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: sixty points in that game, but Josh Allen throws a

488
00:23:38,560 –> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: red zone pick. They’ve had some issues. They had issues

489
00:23:41,119 –> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: again the Dolphin game, but they’re taking the ball away.

490
00:23:44,280 –> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: This is a Dolphin sorry Bills defense that will take

491
00:23:47,520 –> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: the ball away. They have eleven takeaways, but they have

492
00:23:51,040 –> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: nine giveaways. They have fumbles here in interceptions, but they’re

493
00:23:57,000 –> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: near the top on fumbles and that they’ve lost five

494
00:23:59,400 –> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: of them. The Chiefs are not taking the ball away.

495
00:24:02,359 –> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are only four takeaways, four giveaways. We’re setting

496
00:24:05,880 –> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: at zero. So you’ve now blinked that light here. The

497
00:24:09,320 –> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: next ted Lasso episode could be could the Chiefs get

498
00:24:12,119 –> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 1: some takeaways? So shop, you’re playing this high powered offense.

499
00:24:16,600 –> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs have one interception in five games. That’s

500
00:24:19,240 –> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: the ninety nine yard pick six by Jalen Watson. That’s it, okay,

501
00:24:23,920 –> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: So how do you turn a team like this over?

502
00:24:27,440 –> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: As well as stop. I’ll keep it real simple. So

503
00:24:29,880 –> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: to me, the formula for creating turnovers on defense is

504
00:24:35,040 –> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: you got to play a lot of zone. Zone means

505
00:24:37,160 –> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: the defenders are gonna have your eyes on the quarterback.

506
00:24:39,680 –> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: Zone defenders able to move on the throw, get to

507
00:24:42,160 –> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: the ball. You have three four guys, so any tip

508
00:24:44,760 –> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: ball is gonna be picked off and go the other way.

509
00:24:46,960 –> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: Man coverage is about making the quarterback hold onto the ball.

510
00:24:50,560 –> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: You turn your back around, you’re following your guy I

511
00:24:53,240 –> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: and the receiver trying to make a play on the

512
00:24:55,400 –> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: ball through the receiver’s hands, and that you’re not gonna

513
00:24:57,480 –> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: really get a lot of picks and interceptions and turnovers.

514
00:25:00,040 –> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: That allows your defenders to play very aggressive tight coverage.

515
00:25:03,480 –> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: That allows the pass rush to get to the quarterback.

516
00:25:06,080 –> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: So everything kind of mirrors and goes hand in hand.

517
00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: If you want tight coverage and you want the quarterback

518
00:25:10,560 –> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: to hold it for the extra second to help the

519
00:25:12,600 –> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: pass rushers get there, you got to do a lot more. Man.

520
00:25:15,400 –> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 1: If you’re okay letting the quarterback throw it in two seconds,

521
00:25:18,720 –> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: getting it out of his hand, having them throw it

522
00:25:20,760 –> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: in rhythm, which I think that was what the Bills

523
00:25:23,080 –> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: like to do, then you play zone and that comes

524
00:25:25,320 –> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: down to how accurate is that quarterback? And I think

525
00:25:28,440 –> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: the one thing we know this guy, he’s an elite quarterback.

526
00:25:31,320 –> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: He’s very accurate at the ball. So it surprised me

527
00:25:33,840 –> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: to see us in a lot of zone coverage, allowing

528
00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: those windows with Steffon, Diggs and Gabriels to be able

529
00:25:39,560 –> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: to sit down in those zones and you know, like

530
00:25:41,480 –> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: you say on first and second day and get a

531
00:25:43,119 –> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of chunk plays. So, man, I want our guys

532
00:25:46,400 –> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: up there pressing them. I don’t care who those guys

533
00:25:48,720 –> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: are across. I’m courage I’m encouraged. I’m confident in Fitting,

534
00:25:53,160 –> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: I’m confident in Williams, I’m confident in McDuffie comes back,

535
00:25:56,800 –> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: any of our guys. We play a lot of man

536
00:25:58,760 –> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: coverage because as the season goes on and on and

537
00:26:01,520 –> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: on the level of competition, you gotta be able to

538
00:26:05,040 –> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: man up guys. You can’t always run these trick them

539
00:26:10,080 –> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: a robber style defenses through through through zones and avoiding

540
00:26:14,920 –> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: out what people do to us to try to stop

541
00:26:17,480 –> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: patt is they just throw the kitchen seam cannem and

542
00:26:19,880 –> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: you’re never good at anything. And then when that comes

543
00:26:22,000 –> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, you have no confidence in what you

544
00:26:24,560 –> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: What we are doing is building fundamental techniques and skills.

545
00:26:28,680 –> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: What what the Bills try to do and not do.

546
00:26:30,760 –> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: It’s not gonna take us off our plan to building

547
00:26:33,720 –> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: this defense to be a championship defense. So I think

548
00:26:36,000 –> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: we just stay on plan. We continue to go to

549
00:26:38,240 –> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: the next chapter, next page. Let this defense, these defensive

550
00:26:41,280 –> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: backs get a little bit tighter, a little bit more

551
00:26:43,160 –> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: up on these guys, and guess what if they want

552
00:26:45,040 –> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: to throw it over the top. We got two safeties

553
00:26:46,760 –> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: that can be very rangy on the back end. Let

554
00:26:49,200 –> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: that quarterback run the ball if he wants to run it.

555
00:26:51,440 –> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: We got bolt in the make up, just to pop

556
00:26:54,040 –> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: him a couple of good times. Make sure you point

557
00:26:56,320 –> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: up to the offensive coordinator say you keep doing that,

558
00:26:58,760 –> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: I’m gonna put his lights out. You keep on running

559
00:27:01,440 –> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: that play and we’re gonna put his lights out. But

560
00:27:03,480 –> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: that’s the kind of mentality, I think, the kind of

561
00:27:05,480 –> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: defensive arrogance you gotta have, and that allows you to

562
00:27:08,400 –> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: take away the big plays. You’re challenging those guys, challenging

563
00:27:11,480 –> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: those throws and not be timing throws, get them off schedule,

564
00:27:14,160 –> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: like Matt said, it’s just a it’s just a arrogance.

565
00:27:17,720 –> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: I would love to see our defense play with on Sunday. Yeah,

566
00:27:21,000 –> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: we’ve seen Spags do this. It’s like a professor with

567
00:27:23,440 –> 00:27:27,479
Speaker 1: a syllabus during a college semester, meaning he is just

568
00:27:28,000 –> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: he builds to a crescendo. And we’ve seen it every

569
00:27:30,040 –> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: year in nineteen twenty and twenty one, where October’s this,

570
00:27:33,440 –> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: September’s this, November’s this, and Decembers this, and the playoffs

571
00:27:36,680 –> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: are this. I mean, so it’s interesting to see how

572
00:27:39,520 –> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: Spags handle us. And I’d argue that right now they’re

573
00:27:41,720 –> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule ye, based on where they then in

574
00:27:44,280 –> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: the past. If you look at the almost like at

575
00:27:46,200 –> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: late October, yeah, instead of mid October. Yeah. And listen,

576
00:27:51,280 –> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: I get the Raiders scored twenty nine points. I mean,

577
00:27:53,320 –> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: you don’t want to give up twenty nine points. But

578
00:27:55,680 –> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: what I love about Monday Nights game is Coachry trusted

579
00:27:59,840 –> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 1: the defense on the field at the end when he

580
00:28:02,960 –> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: knows that the Raiders have one of the best kickers

581
00:28:05,000 –> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL who can probably kick a sixty three

582
00:28:07,400 –> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: yard field goal to win the game, and you trust

583
00:28:10,040 –> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: your defense at the end and you show them that

584
00:28:11,960 –> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: you trust them and they came through at the end.

585
00:28:14,840 –> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: That’s awesome. That’s what you want to build right now

586
00:28:17,119 –> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: at this point in the season. You obviously want to

587
00:28:19,160 –> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: win games, but you also want to build your identity

588
00:28:21,560 –> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: and build trust amongst your teammates and with your coaches.

589
00:28:24,040 –> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: And we saw that in that Monday game. And that’s

590
00:28:26,480 –> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: why this defense I think, is feeling really good going

591
00:28:28,440 –> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: into this game. Because everyone wants to talk about the offense,

592
00:28:31,200 –> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 1: and deservingly so, but this is a great opportunity for

593
00:28:33,960 –> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense to go out there and bring it

594
00:28:36,119 –> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen and say we play defense in Kansas

595
00:28:39,000 –> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: City too, and really get this thing rolling. So I’m

596
00:28:41,840 –> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: excited to see what they can do. But Andy Reid

597
00:28:43,800 –> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: has never had the defense to be second fiddle. He

598
00:28:47,000 –> 00:28:49,239
Speaker 1: knows it’s an orchestra. Oh yeah, I can’t just have

599
00:28:49,320 –> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: the woodwinds. Hey, you guys, you’re yet. You guys are

600
00:28:52,320 –> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: awful over here. Andy Reid does that different. Oh you

601
00:28:56,080 –> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: saw it on game day, man. You know hey, on

602
00:28:58,280 –> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: game day when they threw that flag, he was the

603
00:29:00,000 –> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: first person to come to Chris Jones like, Hey, I

604
00:29:02,040 –> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: got it, Chris, I’m gonna get this guy a stern

605
00:29:05,400 –> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: talking to because I know what you get, what you’re

606
00:29:07,680 –> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: going through out there. He didn’t just sit to the side.

607
00:29:09,400 –> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: I was like, don’t worry about the defense your second fiddle. No, man,

608
00:29:12,760 –> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: we are brotherhood. You come in as teammates, but you

609
00:29:15,000 –> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 1: leave his family. That’s a model. But I mean different

610
00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: than you played with. Man. I tried to defend the

611
00:29:19,640 –> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: defense back on those days, just saying don’t I mean,

612
00:29:22,640 –> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: that’s just getting me back. Anyway, Here we go again. Chiefs,

613
00:29:26,560 –> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: Bills and Matt You said it right. These are the

614
00:29:28,960 –> 00:29:31,920
