Speaker 1: main Street, Kansas City, Tom’stown with the theme of Boss

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.
