00:00:19,520 –> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. Tonight we’re at Tom’stown. Yeah,

Speaker 1: main Street, Kansas City, Tom’stown with the theme of Boss
8
00:00:28,440 –> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: Tom Pendergast. If you want to Google search Tom and
9
00:00:32,520 –> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: read the books you’ll find out a fascinating figure. But
10
00:00:35,080 –> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: this is kind of fun little taste of Kansas City. Yeah,
11
00:00:37,680 –> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: this is awesome. So the Crossroads is my favorite part
12
00:00:40,000 –> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: of town. I think I love coming down here and
13
00:00:41,760 –> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: just walking around. And this is one of those like
14
00:00:43,720 –> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: gems in the crossroads. The history of this place and
15
00:00:46,960 –> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: also just the vibes are awesome. So it’s so much
16
00:00:49,240 –> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: fun to be here. You’ll feel like you’re in the
17
00:00:51,120 –> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: nineteen thirties in Kansas City when you come here to Tomstown.
18
00:00:54,080 –> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, the official gin partner of the
19
00:00:57,600 –> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. So again, if you come to Kansas City,
20
00:01:01,360 –> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you around the world want to come
21
00:01:03,560 –> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: here for a pilgrimage and go to Geha Field at
22
00:01:06,760 –> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: Arrowheads Stadium, then make sure you put tom’stown on your
23
00:01:09,920 –> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: list when you come here. All Right. The other part
24
00:01:12,040 –> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: that we want to get into before we get into
25
00:01:14,120 –> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: the kind of the guts of this Jaguars Chiefs game,
26
00:01:17,000 –> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: are the patches that we’re wearing. This is the annual
27
00:01:19,120 –> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 1: Salute to Service game. Truthfully, it’s my favorite regular season
28
00:01:22,240 –> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: week of the year. The Chiefs have been the leaders
29
00:01:24,800 –> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: in this in the National Football League in doing just
30
00:01:28,560 –> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: exactly that, saluting to service, those who have served, those
31
00:01:31,440 –> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: who serve, and those who will serve, not only in
32
00:01:35,240 –> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: the United States, but two our allies around the world. Right,
33
00:01:38,120 –> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: A lot of the folks that are in the Chiefs
34
00:01:40,120 –> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: Kingdom are not citizens of the US, but love the Chiefs.
35
00:01:43,880 –> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: But this patch is very interesting. This year it’s the
36
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of Operation Linebacker one and two. It was
37
00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy two airmission in North Vietnam that where
38
00:01:56,880 –> 00:01:59,919
Speaker 1: Derrek Thomas, the great Kansas City Chiefs icon and profile
39
00:02:00,080 –> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: ball Hall of Fame, or his father, Captain Robert Thomas,
40
00:02:02,560 –> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: actually volunteered for the mission. He was co piloting a
41
00:02:06,040 –> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: fifty two super Fortress and it was knocked down with
42
00:02:09,800 –> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: two surface stair missiles and he lost his life. But
43
00:02:12,480 –> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: this patch commemorates so many things involved with Operation Linebacker
44
00:02:16,960 –> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: one and two and the lives of both Derek Thomas
45
00:02:19,600 –> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: and his father, Captain Robert Thomas. Yeah, it’s so cool.
46
00:02:22,520 –> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: And every year first Lute to Service a month we
47
00:02:24,680 –> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: have a different patch that the guys wear on their
48
00:02:26,600 –> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: warm ups that we get to wear on our hoodies
49
00:02:28,200 –> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: and everything, and it honors something and this year with
50
00:02:30,919 –> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: it being about DT and his dad, it’s just so
51
00:02:33,720 –> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: much even more special, I think. But we obviously love football.
52
00:02:37,680 –> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: Everyone and Chi’s Kingdom loves football and that’s what we’re
53
00:02:39,960 –> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: all here to talk about. But without our men and
54
00:02:42,680 –> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: women in the line of duty who put their lives
55
00:02:44,760 –> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: on the line every single day for us, we wouldn’t
56
00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: get to do any of this. And they defend our
57
00:02:49,040 –> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: freedoms every single day. They defend people that they will
58
00:02:51,800 –> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: never meet every single day, and they do it because
59
00:02:53,840 –> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: it’s the right thing to do. So we thank everyone
60
00:02:56,560 –> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: in our armed forces and we’re honoring you with this
61
00:02:59,280 –> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: podcast and a month long with patches like this and
62
00:03:02,720 –> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 1: all of our gear. Yep, it’s awesome. The camouflage part
63
00:03:06,400 –> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: of the patch Charcoal one was the B fifty two
64
00:03:09,480 –> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: super Fortress that Captain Thomas was flying that day. So
65
00:03:13,320 –> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: that’s the colors on the patch. We do so many
66
00:03:15,560 –> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: awesome things. I remember twenty eighteen. We have so many
67
00:03:18,520 –> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: European Kingdom defenders that watch and listen to us on
68
00:03:22,919 –> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom. It was the one hundredth anniversary of
69
00:03:25,840 –> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: the end of World War One, and the Chiefs were
70
00:03:27,680 –> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: actually playing the Cardinals on that day to the day
71
00:03:30,760 –> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 1: one hundred years later, November eleventh, in twenty eighteen, and
72
00:03:34,600 –> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: we in the stadium played twenty one bills just like
73
00:03:37,040 –> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: they did throughout Europe the day that that the armistice
74
00:03:40,600 –> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: was final on the eleventh or the eleventh day of
75
00:03:44,120 –> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: the eleventh month. But I just remember the moment where
76
00:03:46,360 –> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: all the Chiefs players and all the Arizona Cardinals players
77
00:03:49,160 –> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: just stopped as those bells played, and it just gave
78
00:03:52,200 –> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: me an indication of how much the Chiefs organization values
79
00:03:55,120 –> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: what you just said and is a conduit for think
80
00:03:58,800 –> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: beyond football to bigger things. Yeah, that day was so special.
81
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: I remember that, and you think about how we still
82
00:04:05,120 –> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: remember those people and we understand what they did for
83
00:04:08,560 –> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: us and to make America what it is today. We
84
00:04:11,440 –> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: remember that one hundred years later. And for you know,
85
00:04:14,480 –> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs players and Cardinals players, obviously they’re going to go
86
00:04:17,040 –> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: on the field and compete against one another, but for
87
00:04:18,920 –> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: them to stop and recognize that, and for everyone in
88
00:04:20,839 –> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: the stadium to stop and add that have that perspective,
89
00:04:23,279 –> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: it was very cool to be a part of. And
90
00:04:24,760 –> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: every single year we do this, and with this particular patch,
91
00:04:28,040 –> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: with it being the Derek Thomas connection with his dad,
92
00:04:31,120 –> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: it’s just really amazing stuff. So it should be a
93
00:04:33,720 –> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 1: really amazing event at geha Field Arroohead Stadium on Sunday.
94
00:04:38,480 –> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: If you’re going to come to the game, make sure
95
00:04:40,040 –> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: you stay in your seats at halftimes. Oh boy, oh boy,
96
00:04:42,800 –> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: Yes serious, sir. And when you come to gha Field,
97
00:04:45,920 –> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: that Aarohead Stadium on your pilgrimage from around the world,
98
00:04:48,279 –> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: you Kingdom defenders. Also put the National World War One
99
00:04:51,360 –> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: Museum on your list and then come here to Tomstown
100
00:04:54,400 –> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: and you’ll be chucking off two things you need to
101
00:04:56,520 –> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: do when you come here. All right, speaking of checking
102
00:04:58,800 –> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: the list, let’s check the let’s go around the world
103
00:05:01,360 –> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: with our kingdom defenders and on defending the kingdom. Yeah,
104
00:05:04,279 –> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: what a segue. It’s perfect. So I have fourteen today
105
00:05:07,600 –> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: people around the world listening to DTK. So we have
106
00:05:10,320 –> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: dw in Tucson, Arizona, a twenty year veteran of the
107
00:05:14,000 –> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: Air Force’s our first one. We have Nick and Jacksonville
108
00:05:17,880 –> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: reporting from behind enemy lines, originally from Shawnee, Kansas. His
109
00:05:22,000 –> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: two year old son, Rivers often says, go chiefs, but
110
00:05:24,960 –> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: it sounds like goat cheese. Let me laugh. We’ve got
111
00:05:29,560 –> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Zoron from Croatia, Rob from Seoul, South Korea. Penny in Calhoun, Missouri.
112
00:05:36,520 –> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Mark was listening in Tennessee last week, so reporting from
113
00:05:39,040 –> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: behind enemy lines. Wilson is in Jamestown, New York, just
114
00:05:43,240 –> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: south of Buffalo Trevors and Pensacola, Florida, but originally from Columbia, Missouri.
115
00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:52,239
Speaker 1: Summer is in Joplin, Missouri. Gary is in Springfield, Missouri.
116
00:05:52,320 –> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: Always have to get someone from Springfield on here every week. Yep,
117
00:05:55,320 –> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: Dwights listening in Jamaica. Alice is in Pittsburgh, Kansas. Go Gorillas.
118
00:05:59,640 –> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: Georgie is in Waterloo, Iowa. And remember the listener that
119
00:06:02,600 –> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: I met at the zoo a little while ago. Didn’t
120
00:06:04,760 –> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: get his name, though, well I followed up with him.
121
00:06:06,320 –> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: His name is Benny, So shout out to Benny. I
122
00:06:08,320 –> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: met him at the zoo. All right, all right, here
123
00:06:10,680 –> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: come the Jaguars. And just like I think this also
124
00:06:14,440 –> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: goes in line with our salute to service this weekend,
125
00:06:17,800 –> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: because the women and men who serve not just in
126
00:06:20,600 –> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: the United States Armed Forces, but with our allies around
127
00:06:23,080 –> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: the world have to be ready. They just prepare every
128
00:06:25,040 –> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: day for readiness. And so our theme with this Jaguars game,
129
00:06:28,720 –> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: and Matt, you and I were talking earlier today is
130
00:06:31,160 –> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: to be ready. Because you and I both agree. As
131
00:06:35,160 –> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: we started to do the deep dive into this Jacksonville team,
132
00:06:38,600 –> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: we both had the same impression. You better appreciate and
133
00:06:42,600 –> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: respect this opponent and be ready, or you could pay
134
00:06:45,800 –> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: the price. If you do not watch the Jaguars often,
135
00:06:49,760 –> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: you might look at their record and the recent history
136
00:06:52,320 –> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: and assume that they are not very good and that
137
00:06:54,440 –> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs should roll in this game. Those notions about them,
138
00:06:57,520 –> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: if you do not watch them often, are most likely misguided.
139
00:07:00,760 –> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: Because when we dug into this team, I think you
140
00:07:02,560 –> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 1: and I were both surprised with what we saw really
141
00:07:05,560 –> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. This is a team
142
00:07:07,200 –> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: that has a ton of young talent, and they’re young,
143
00:07:11,520 –> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: so they don’t always put it together in the end
144
00:07:13,720 –> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: with a victory, but they are tough throughout. They have
145
00:07:17,400 –> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: what six losses this season, all of them by one score.
146
00:07:20,840 –> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: This isn’t a team that’s been rolled over a whole
147
00:07:22,720 –> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: bunch of times and they get blown out. No, They’re
148
00:07:25,480 –> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: in almost every game until the end. There’s some of
149
00:07:28,000 –> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: the fastest starters in the NFL. There’s splits in terms
150
00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: of quarters are really interesting. They’re one of the best
151
00:07:34,440 –> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL. In the first and third quarter
152
00:07:37,040 –> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: they’re plus sixty three and point differential, but they just
153
00:07:40,400 –> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: struggle to finish in the second and fourth quarters. They’re
154
00:07:43,520 –> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: minus forty two. But they have the third largest first
155
00:07:46,360 –> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: quarter scoring margin in the NFL. So they’re a good
156
00:07:50,800 –> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: team that doesn’t quite put it all together at times.
157
00:07:53,760 –> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: They’re inconsistent, but they’re very talented and this will not
158
00:07:56,280 –> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: be an easy one for the Chiefs. The chiusing to
159
00:07:58,120 –> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: make sure they go into this game knowing that they’re
160
00:07:59,600 –> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: going to get a really good shot from a very young,
161
00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: talented team and Matt I’m gonna get into this. There’s
162
00:08:04,200 –> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: a little bit up. There could be a slip and
163
00:08:05,720 –> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: surge in the AFC South with Tennessee the injuries to
164
00:08:10,040 –> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. We’ll see how that goes. But this is
165
00:08:12,560 –> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: a Jaguars team that could get hot, and if the
166
00:08:15,080 –> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: Titans slip, this could be the team to surge. And
167
00:08:18,640 –> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: there’s some thought even coming out of Jacksonville. Smoot I
168
00:08:21,200 –> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: know mentioned it. Hey, if we get hot, we could
169
00:08:23,240 –> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: be a playoff team. So Jacksonville sensing that. But let
170
00:08:26,400 –> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: me just say this about Patrick Mahomes. First. I saw
171
00:08:28,520 –> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: this this afternoon, just before we went on. Patrick Mahomes
172
00:08:31,640 –> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: has won twenty three straight games in November and December.
173
00:08:35,240 –> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. It is an all time NFL record
174
00:08:38,480 –> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: forty three straight starts in November and December since twenty
175
00:08:42,400 –> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: nineteen by Patrick Mahomes. No one in the league has
176
00:08:45,360 –> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: done that. Yeah, and so that’s one thing to help
177
00:08:48,000 –> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: you get ready. It’s just put fifteen on the field.
178
00:08:50,640 –> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: So the late Terres Paler, of course, with the Casey
179
00:08:53,280 –> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: Star and Yahoo Sports, one of the best sports writers
180
00:08:56,160 –> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: of all time. In my opinion, I shadowed him when
181
00:08:58,360 –> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: I was in eighth grade and he was covering the
182
00:09:00,440 –> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: Casey Brigade for the Casey Star way back in the day.
183
00:09:03,280 –> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: And he was always just the kindest, most amazing guy.
184
00:09:05,840 –> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: May rest in peace, But one thing he used to
185
00:09:07,880 –> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: always say about Patrick Mahomes and games like what we
186
00:09:10,320 –> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: saw on Sunday is that that’s an over my dead
187
00:09:13,120 –> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: body game for Patrick Mahomes. And under no circumstances is
188
00:09:16,600 –> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: he going to lose this game? Yeah, nothing has gone right. Yeah,
189
00:09:19,600 –> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: the offense has punted like seven consecutive times. Patrick Mahomes
190
00:09:23,160 –> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: doesn’t care if there’s time on the clock, He’s going
191
00:09:25,360 –> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 1: to try to find a way. And that’s what we
192
00:09:27,000 –> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: saw on that scoring drive that tied the game for
193
00:09:29,800 –> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Third and seventeen, he scrambles for twenty yards
194
00:09:34,440 –> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: third and nine in the red zone, he scrambles for
195
00:09:37,280 –> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: a fourteen yard touchdown, and then on the two point
196
00:09:39,880 –> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: conversion try, we got a few redos because of penalties
197
00:09:42,960 –> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: and everything. He then scrambles for the two point conversion
198
00:09:46,040 –> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 1: ties the game for the Chiefs with only a couple
199
00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: minutes left. The Chiefs end up winning it in overtime,
200
00:09:50,360 –> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: but that’s the kind of game that separates a team
201
00:09:52,880 –> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: that has a guy like Patrick Mahomes from other really
202
00:09:55,440 –> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: good teams, because I remember thinking about it for just
203
00:09:58,840 –> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: years as a Chiefs fan, quarterbacks like Peyton Manning or
204
00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You’re like, man, those guys have that guy,
205
00:10:04,840 –> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: and that guy finds a way. We are so fortunate
206
00:10:07,360 –> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: that we have that guy absolutely, and we have the
207
00:10:10,720 –> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: other guy, Travis Kelsey. Those two together have more yards
208
00:10:13,480 –> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: in a five season span than any quarterback tight end
209
00:10:15,960 –> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: duo in NFL history in a five year span. All right,
210
00:10:19,120 –> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: let’s jump into the be ready part of this, and
211
00:10:21,400 –> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: to me, who jumps off the page with this Jaguar
212
00:10:23,600 –> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: team where they’ve really changed is Travis etn the great
213
00:10:27,080 –> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: running back at a Clemson who was Trevor Lawrence’s teammate
214
00:10:29,800 –> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: there last year had the Liz Frank injury and missed
215
00:10:32,480 –> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: all of twenty twenty one. He was slow and becoming
216
00:10:34,720 –> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: a starter. Doug Peterson slowed him into that RB one role.
217
00:10:37,960 –> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: But since he’s been there four hundred and sixty nine
218
00:10:40,600 –> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: yards for e TN That is a Jaguar record in
219
00:10:44,120 –> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: that span of since becoming a starter since Week four.
220
00:10:48,280 –> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: To me, he’s the game changer we’ll talk about Trevor
221
00:10:50,720 –> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Lawrence here in a second. But etn makes this team
222
00:10:53,720 –> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: way different than they’ve been in the last year and
223
00:10:55,880 –> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: a half. He’s another example of a guy that when
224
00:10:58,000 –> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: we kind of dug into the Jags, it’s I didn’t
225
00:11:00,559 –> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: realize Travis ETM was having such a great season. Like,
226
00:11:03,280 –> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: I know he’s a first round pick. I know that
227
00:11:04,880 –> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: he missed last year and this is basically his rookie season.
228
00:11:07,840 –> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: I know he’s a good player, but when you see
229
00:11:09,559 –> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: what he’s been doing lately, it’s like, oh, man, Like
230
00:11:11,640 –> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: he’s really coming on strong. I mean eight hundred and
231
00:11:14,240 –> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: fifty four yards from scrimmage this season and he’s dynamic.
232
00:11:16,920 –> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Six hundred and eighty of those are rushing, one hundred
233
00:11:19,200 –> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: and seventy four of those are receiving. That total is
234
00:11:21,920 –> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: eleventh best in the NFL, and he’s accounted for twenty
235
00:11:25,000 –> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 1: five percent of the Jaguars offense this year. In terms
236
00:11:27,679 –> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: of scrimmage yards, consider that he didn’t really play a
237
00:11:30,120 –> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: whole lot early on this season, that’s really impressive. He
238
00:11:33,240 –> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: has five straight games with at least one hundred yards
239
00:11:35,920 –> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: from scrimmage and in that span he’s third in the
240
00:11:38,559 –> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: NFL and scrimmage yards behind only Tyreek Hill and Alvin Kamara.
241
00:11:42,080 –> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: So that gets your attention right. He’s in that category
242
00:11:44,640 –> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: right now of player and for the Chiefs, this is
243
00:11:47,160 –> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: the guy they have to make sure they contain in
244
00:11:49,240 –> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: this game because I’m assuming the Jags that for them
245
00:11:51,920 –> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: coming into this they’re thinking they’re going to feed Etn
246
00:11:54,600 –> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: over and over again, both on the ground and through
247
00:11:56,640 –> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: the air. That’s the number one priority for the Chiefs
248
00:11:58,880 –> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: is containing this guy on this Jags offense. He also
249
00:12:01,920 –> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: provides a big play threat for them. I know you’re
250
00:12:04,840 –> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: gonna get into the twenty plus plays. It’s really interesting
251
00:12:07,280 –> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: how many they have and their red zone trips, so
252
00:12:10,000 –> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: their offensive productivity will surprise you. But Etn has six
253
00:12:14,240 –> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: runs of twenty yards or more. Keep in mind he
254
00:12:16,240 –> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: didn’t really become the RB one until Week four. He
255
00:12:18,840 –> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: has six runs of twenty yards or more. That’s third
256
00:12:21,440 –> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Number one is Nick Chubb of Cleveland.
257
00:12:25,080 –> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: Number two is Derrick Henry of Tennessee. Number three is
258
00:12:28,360 –> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: Travis Etn of the Jacksonville Jaguars. They have twelve twenty
259
00:12:32,280 –> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: plus runs that’s second only the Cleveland So the Chiefs
260
00:12:35,320 –> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: have to be ready on account for that. Big time
261
00:12:37,320 –> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: or it could be an interesting day. Yeah, they definitely do.
262
00:12:40,240 –> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 1: And you alluded to it, like how a lot of
263
00:12:41,960 –> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: their offensive numbers are really good. This is something else
264
00:12:44,679 –> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: that jumped off the page to me. They have the
265
00:12:46,280 –> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: most first downs in the NFL. That Jacksonville Jaguars have
266
00:12:49,160 –> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the most first downs in the NFL. You would never
267
00:12:51,400 –> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: guess that, but they do. They have two hundred and
268
00:12:53,040 –> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: three first downs, it’s most in the league. They have
269
00:12:55,080 –> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one plays of ten or more
270
00:12:57,280 –> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: yards this year. That’s type with the Chiefs for the
271
00:12:59,480 –> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: third most in the AFC. And they have the most
272
00:13:02,240 –> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: red zone drives in the NFL with thirty four. They’re
273
00:13:04,640 –> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: actually tied with the Chiefs on that one as well.
274
00:13:07,760 –> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: What’s the difference? Why are they only scoring twenty two
275
00:13:10,240 –> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: point two points per game? There’s a couple of reasons,
276
00:13:12,760 –> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: but red zone is part of that. So they’re in
277
00:13:14,800 –> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: the red zone a lot, right, But they’re only scoring
278
00:13:17,280 –> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns at a fifty three percent clip, as twenty first
279
00:13:20,240 –> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL. By contrast, the Chiefs are at seventy
280
00:13:22,679 –> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: four percent, which is second in the NFL behind only
281
00:13:24,960 –> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee and Tennessee’s is kind of cheating because they have
282
00:13:27,760 –> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: way less red zone drives than the Chiefs do. But
283
00:13:31,000 –> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: Kansas City’s converting red zone trips into touchdowns traditionally didn’t
284
00:13:34,240 –> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: really do it against Tennessee, but over the course of
285
00:13:36,840 –> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: the season they are. The Jaguars really are not. And
286
00:13:39,400 –> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: they have four red zone giveaways this season that’s tied
287
00:13:42,080 –> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: for the most in the NFL, and thirteen turnovers overall
288
00:13:45,480 –> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: as a team that is number six in the league.
289
00:13:48,160 –> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: But this team can move the football and they’re the
290
00:13:50,120 –> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: kind of team that doesn’t really struggle offensively throughout the game.
291
00:13:53,840 –> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: They struggle when they get down into the red area.
292
00:13:56,559 –> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: But those kind of teams are dangerous because it only
293
00:13:58,559 –> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: takes a few plays to turn those red zone numbers around.
294
00:14:01,559 –> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: So for the Chiefs defensively, coming off a great game
295
00:14:04,200 –> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, particularly in the second half, gotta make sure
296
00:14:07,440 –> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: you take these guys seriously because all year long, they’re
297
00:14:09,800 –> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: moving the ball honestly better than most teams. Trevor Lawrence,
298
00:14:13,960 –> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: we can discuss him here. We know he’s a terrific talent.
299
00:14:16,440 –> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: He’s been up and down. You mentioned the red zone turnovers.
300
00:14:19,440 –> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: It’s been turnovers for him and I know Doug Peterson’s
301
00:14:21,840 –> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: bringing him along as he goes here. And last year
302
00:14:24,840 –> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: was a disaster for this franchise until the end when
303
00:14:27,400 –> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: they pulled off some of the biggest upsets of the year.
304
00:14:29,880 –> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: But Lawrence through seventeen interceptions last year in his rookie year,
305
00:14:33,040 –> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: that tied for the NFL lead. This year, he has
306
00:14:36,520 –> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: six interceptions and he’s lost five phumbles. There’s your four
307
00:14:40,320 –> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: red zone turnovers. He has eleven giveaways Trevor Lawrence. That
308
00:14:43,960 –> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: is the most of any human being in twenty twenty
309
00:14:46,680 –> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: two in the National Football League. Yeah, consistency is really
310
00:14:49,440 –> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: the thing with him. You can clearly see at times
311
00:14:51,880 –> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: why he was the number one overall pick a couple
312
00:14:53,800 –> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: of years ago and one of those guys that everyone
313
00:14:56,120 –> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: said would be a slam dunk Like. A talent is obvious,
314
00:14:58,880 –> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: but he’s just not consider right now in his career,
315
00:15:01,800 –> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: and that’s happened this season. He’s been really good sometimes.
316
00:15:04,560 –> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: He has four games this season with a passer rating
317
00:15:06,840 –> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: north of one o nine, but also four games with
318
00:15:09,720 –> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: a passerating south of seventy six. Now, passer rating is
319
00:15:13,640 –> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: a flawed stat but you get the idea like he
320
00:15:15,840 –> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: struggled mightily sometimes and then been really good other times.
321
00:15:20,960 –> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: With him, when he’s really good, it’s when he’s getting
322
00:15:23,320 –> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: rid of the football quickly, when he holds onto the ball,
323
00:15:25,600 –> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: that’s where he struggles. At two point five seconds is
324
00:15:28,720 –> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: kind of like that benchmark. When he holds onto the
325
00:15:30,960 –> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: football for longer than two point five seconds, he’s completing
326
00:15:33,960 –> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: just fifty percent of his passes, only four touchdowns, four interceptions.
327
00:15:37,800 –> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: But when he gets rid of the ball before then
328
00:15:40,040 –> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: and faster than two point five seconds, he’s completing seventy
329
00:15:42,840 –> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: five percent of his passes for seven touchdowns and two interceptions.
330
00:15:46,720 –> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: He really struggles under pressure. That kind of factors into
331
00:15:49,280 –> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: this as well. If you look at Pro Football Focus grades,
332
00:15:52,120 –> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: which I know sometimes we don’t know how we feel
333
00:15:53,640 –> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: about those, but in this case it kind of makes sense.
334
00:15:55,800 –> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: There’s been twenty six quarterbacks this season that have dropped
335
00:15:58,680 –> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: back at least two hundred times. They grade him as
336
00:16:01,520 –> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: the worst in the NFL among those when under pressure.
337
00:16:04,680 –> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: So I think defensively for the Chiefs, the two most
338
00:16:06,720 –> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: important things got to make sure you cover his first
339
00:16:09,160 –> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: read when he’s throwing the football, don’t let him get
340
00:16:11,120 –> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: the ball out quickly, and have that offense be in
341
00:16:13,400 –> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: rhythm and if that first read is covered, create pressure
342
00:16:16,880 –> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: on him, and odds are this season he’ll throw the
343
00:16:19,480 –> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: football your way, He’ll make a mistake. He’s still gonna
344
00:16:22,040 –> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: make some great plays in this game. Trevor Lawrence is
345
00:16:24,120 –> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, but that consistency has been a problem so
346
00:16:27,360 –> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: far this year. And if you can get pressure on him,
347
00:16:29,360 –> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: that’s where he really struggles. Again. We’re at Tomstown on
348
00:16:32,440 –> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: Main Street, Kansas City, in the Crossroads area, but a
349
00:16:35,240 –> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: historic place. You can dive right into the nineteen twenties
350
00:16:38,640 –> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: and nineteen thirties when you visit Kansas City and come
351
00:16:41,400 –> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: to Tomstown again, the official gin partner of the Kansas
352
00:16:44,960 –> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Defensively, let’s touch on this before we close
353
00:16:48,240 –> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: the show out. And they’ve got some dudes here now,
354
00:16:51,040 –> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: I mean Trevon Walker goes off the board first in
355
00:16:53,920 –> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two draft, and not long after that
356
00:16:57,240 –> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd came. These are two dynamic linebackers. They remind
357
00:17:01,160 –> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 1: me a little bit of the Tampa Bay linebackers that
358
00:17:02,960 –> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: were playing at that level in Super Bowl fifty five
359
00:17:04,960 –> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. When you think of a deb and white, Yeah,
360
00:17:07,359 –> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: guys that have great size, but also incredible speed, like
361
00:17:10,119 –> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: they shouldn’t be that fast for as big as they are.
362
00:17:13,160 –> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: They got some playmakers on defense and overall. I mean,
363
00:17:16,160 –> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: this is the number eleven scoring defense in the NFL.
364
00:17:18,880 –> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: They’re allowing nineteen point eight points per game. It’s pretty good.
365
00:17:22,119 –> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 1: They’ve held opponents under twenty four points and six of
366
00:17:24,680 –> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: their last eight games. Their middle of the pack and
367
00:17:28,040 –> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: a lot of categories, but they have struggled with the
368
00:17:30,480 –> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: big play at times. This year. They’ve allowed one hundred
369
00:17:33,400 –> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: and twenty four plays of double digit yardage. That’s fifth
370
00:17:35,680 –> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: most in the NFL. And even though they have all
371
00:17:38,320 –> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: this talent, at times they struggle to get off the field.
372
00:17:40,520 –> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: They don’t often get the opposition behind the sticks with
373
00:17:43,600 –> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: like sacks and stuff like that. They’re kind of middle
374
00:17:45,359 –> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: of the pack in those areas as well. But they’ve
375
00:17:47,400 –> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: allowed nineteen drives of ten or more plays, It’s third
376
00:17:50,240 –> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: most in the NFL. Defense gets tired after a while,
377
00:17:53,119 –> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they get beat over
378
00:17:54,960 –> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the top for a big touchdown. They’ve lost so many
379
00:17:57,480 –> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: close games. I have a feeling that when the defense
380
00:18:00,880 –> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: is on the field too much at times, that’s kind
381
00:18:02,680 –> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: of where these things slip away from them. Kind of
382
00:18:04,280 –> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: saw that against the Broncos a few weeks ago. Last week,
383
00:18:06,920 –> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: we saw one of the more underrated defenders in the
384
00:18:08,720 –> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: National Football League in Simmons with the Tennessee Titans. Josh Allen.
385
00:18:12,040 –> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: The other Josh Allen of the NFL that plays for
386
00:18:14,119 –> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: these guys. You mentioned pressures. They haven’t had a bunch
387
00:18:16,640 –> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: of those, but Josh Allen does. He’s got thirty one pressures.
388
00:18:19,840 –> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: He’s got ninety four percent of the Jaguar pressures. But
389
00:18:22,880 –> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: you have to account for Josh Allen or you could
390
00:18:24,840 –> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: have a long day. Yeah, twelve quarterback hits for Josh
391
00:18:26,960 –> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: Allen as well. I mean he’s a monster. Dwan Smoot
392
00:18:29,920 –> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: is coming on lately for them. He has five sacks
393
00:18:31,920 –> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: this year and three and a half in his last two.
394
00:18:33,800 –> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: Is the tricky one. Yeah, he’ll sneak up on you. Yeah. No,
395
00:18:36,720 –> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: He’s been good lately for them. And they have other
396
00:18:38,760 –> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: guys like arden Key, pretty good player. But what’s really
397
00:18:42,040 –> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: interesting with these guys is even though they have all
398
00:18:43,920 –> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: this talent, miss tackles has been a problem for them.
399
00:18:46,800 –> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: They have ninety nine miss tackles this season. That’s most
400
00:18:49,880 –> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They have four players with ten or
401
00:18:52,840 –> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: more miss tackles this season, and the Chiefs have the
402
00:18:55,840 –> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: most yards after the catch of any team in the NFL.
403
00:18:58,240 –> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: So that’s one area to watch in this game. If
404
00:19:00,480 –> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the Jags are missing some tackles at times in the
405
00:19:02,840 –> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: Chiefs are on offense, and then Chiefs can turn a
406
00:19:04,720 –> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: five yard gain into a fifteen yard gain. That’s where
407
00:19:07,560 –> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: the Jags of lost games defensively, and frankly, that’s where
408
00:19:10,240 –> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have won a bunch of games this season.
409
00:19:12,440 –> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: Miss tackles are often the indicator of a defense that
410
00:19:15,160 –> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: is young and still growing, but is talented. That can
411
00:19:18,600 –> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: change at any time, but at least so far, the
412
00:19:20,960 –> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars are struggled in that area. Yeah, thank slipping surge
413
00:19:23,720 –> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: here if you’re gonna follow the AFC South over the
414
00:19:25,600 –> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: next eight weeks. One of the guy I want to
415
00:19:27,440 –> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: mention here’s Foya Luikon. We have a lot of Saint
416
00:19:30,160 –> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: Louis Kingdom defenders. Right. He played at John Burrows High
417
00:19:32,640 –> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 1: School with Zeke Elliott, Saint Louis native, but he’s been
418
00:19:35,440 –> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: a very good player. He was with Atlanta, had a
419
00:19:37,600 –> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: big game against the Chiefs in fact, a fifty one
420
00:19:39,520 –> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: yard interception against the Chiefs in the COVID year of
421
00:19:42,040 –> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. But he’s a really good, sneaky defender for Jacksonville.
422
00:19:45,760 –> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: So let’s close this way again. We’re at Tomstown. When
423
00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: you come to Kansas City, or if you’re in the
424
00:19:50,760 –> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom, this is a must a visit to come
425
00:19:54,080 –> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: here and have an evening out, date night, visit with
426
00:19:56,840 –> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: some friends and be here. But you’ll feel like you’re
427
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 1: traveling back in time. It’s wonderful. I love the history
428
00:20:02,119 –> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: of this place. But Doug Peterson came to Kansas City
429
00:20:05,520 –> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: with Andy Reid when the Chiefs were two and fourteen
430
00:20:07,840 –> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: and at the bottom of the NFL. I said algae
431
00:20:10,640 –> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the ocean, phytal Plankton. Doug walked
432
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: into a difficult situation in jackson But let’s just call
433
00:20:16,840 –> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: it what it was. It was a mess. It was
434
00:20:18,560 –> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: a mess with a young team. But you already see
435
00:20:22,480 –> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: what Doug did in Kansas City helping coach Reid get
436
00:20:25,640 –> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: off to that great start in twenty thirteen. Now there’s
437
00:20:28,040 –> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: not a nine and oh start, But if there’s a
438
00:20:30,160 –> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: slipping surge here in the AFC South with the Titans
439
00:20:33,960 –> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: getting replaced here a little bit or challenged by the Jaguars.
440
00:20:37,280 –> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: To me, it’s that Doug Peterson knows how to do
441
00:20:39,280 –> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: reclamation projects and he’s got Press Taylor with him. While
442
00:20:42,480 –> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: I respect Mike called was a DC, this is an
443
00:20:45,359 –> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: organization to keep an eye on, and it’s meanly because
444
00:20:47,920 –> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson is there and he’s got some young talent. Yeah,
445
00:20:51,640 –> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: sports and football in particular are so contingent on culture.
446
00:20:56,280 –> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: Culture is so important for any team sport, and the
447
00:20:59,600 –> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: NFL that’s certainly the case. And I think the comparison
448
00:21:02,280 –> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: you made between the two thirteen Chiefs and this year’s
449
00:21:04,720 –> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars is so accurate because that Chiefs team in
450
00:21:07,840 –> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: two twelve had so much talent. I think they had
451
00:21:10,160 –> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: six Pro Bowlers on that team, but yet they won
452
00:21:12,560 –> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: just two games. The culture wasn’t there. Coach Reid comes
453
00:21:15,200 –> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: in with Doug Peterson as offensive coordinator immediately, the culture
454
00:21:18,640 –> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: changes immediately, and we’re still enjoying that culture here today
455
00:21:22,200 –> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: that he laid the foundation for way back then. For
456
00:21:25,080 –> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: the Jags, of course, they want to win this season,
457
00:21:27,560 –> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: but they’re thinking down the road. They’re thinking what kind
458
00:21:29,840 –> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: of culture can we build that we can enjoy for
459
00:21:31,680 –> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: the next five to ten years. And Doug in his
460
00:21:34,320 –> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: press conference i think it was yesterday, even mentioned this like,
461
00:21:37,400 –> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: of course I’m focused on the wins, but I’m focused
462
00:21:39,560 –> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: on how we’re also playing in these games. Are we
463
00:21:41,920 –> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: fighting throughout? Are we trying to find a way in
464
00:21:44,000 –> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: the end? Are we in it at the very end?
465
00:21:46,040 –> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: And the answer for them this season is yes, they’re
466
00:21:48,119 –> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: in all of these games. That’s why this isn’t an
467
00:21:50,520 –> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: easy team. This isn’t an easy win for the Chiefs
468
00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: by any means, because this team is young and fighting
469
00:21:54,720 –> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: and establishing a culture and they have nothing to lose.
470
00:21:57,600 –> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: And when you’re really talented and you have nothing to lose,
471
00:21:59,640 –> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 1: that makes you dangerous. That’s what we saw even last
472
00:22:01,920 –> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: season late against the Colts when they beat the Colts
473
00:22:04,040 –> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: and kept them out of the playoffs. So this Jags
474
00:22:07,040 –> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: team is going to be a lot of fun, like
475
00:22:08,520 –> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned, to watch in years to come, because they’re
476
00:22:10,840 –> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: very talented. I think they’re trending in the right direction,
477
00:22:13,040 –> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: and as we’ve seen with Doug, he can help build
478
00:22:15,280 –> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: the winner. So it’ll be tough. The good news is
479
00:22:17,880 –> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: coach Reid, though traditionally beats his pupils in these games.
480
00:22:21,400 –> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: Hopefully adds to that record here on Sunday. Yeah. They
481
00:22:23,640 –> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: also beat the Bills last year nine to six and
482
00:22:25,600 –> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: one of the craziest, the biggest up set of the
483
00:22:27,320 –> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: whole year. And that allowed the Chiefs to play the
484
00:22:29,320 –> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 1: Bills at home and Josh Allen sacked Josh Sallen. That
485
00:22:32,320 –> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: was so cool. Another I invited buss Tom Pendergast to
486
00:22:36,520 –> 00:22:38,719
Speaker 1: come tonight. He didn’t make it, nor did Harry Truman.
487
00:22:38,800 –> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: How rude. Well, I know, well dust Tom helped Harry
488
00:22:41,240 –> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: climb up the political letter. I invited Atro Bartle, the
489
00:22:43,960 –> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: old mayor of Kansas City who promised Lamar Hunt all
490
00:22:46,600 –> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 1: those season tickets to get the Dallas Texans here. Yeah.
491
00:22:49,160 –> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: I invited all those guys. Nobody showed up. But you’re here.
492
00:22:52,640 –> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: Well that’s what matters, man, It’s all that youth. It’s
493
00:22:55,359 –> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: a youthful challenge. Oh yeah, but when you come to
494
00:22:57,920 –> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City, make sure you’ve at Tomstown again on Main
495
00:23:02,040 –> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: Street in the crossroads area. Hey, you can take the
496
00:23:04,240 –> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: street car. I’ll drop you off right here. You will
497
00:23:06,560 –> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: have an outstanding evening. Also, go to the NATIONALE War
498
00:23:08,920 –> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: One Museum. Remember this week is salute the service at
499
00:23:11,880 –> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 1: GHA Field that Arrowhead Standing was. We remember the late
500
00:23:15,600 –> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: Captain Robert Thomas in particular, and the Vietnam veterans who
501
00:23:19,560 –> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: many times don’t get the honor and recognition that they deserve.
502
00:23:24,200 –> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: He’s Matt mcfallan, senior team reporter. I’m atch Alta’s voice
503
00:23:27,000 –> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs. Chiefs, Kingdom, Kingdom defenders be ready, tous down, down,
504
00:23:36,280 –> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: and the celebration begins in their head.
