00:00:38,920 –> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: a game, not what the Chiefs the cool thing is about.

13
00:00:42,800 –> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: This is a three hundred and sixty five day, twelvemonth

14
00:00:46,360 –> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: approach by the Kansas City Chiefs. So we love it

15
00:00:49,400 –> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: and appreciate all those who have served in our serving

16
00:00:52,479 –> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: always and obviously dear to my heart is my own

17
00:00:55,000 –> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: father who served. Any chance to give old Smoke Barber

18
00:00:59,200 –> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: a little recognition on the show, Matt, I definitely take

19
00:01:01,760 –> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: advantage of it. He was a leader in our household

20
00:01:04,240 –> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: but also a leader in our community, and he showed

21
00:01:06,480 –> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 1: me how to be a man in many different ways.

22
00:01:09,120 –> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: So I try to replicate debt and how I raise

23
00:01:11,360 –> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: my own kids, how I coach my kids team. And

24
00:01:14,360 –> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: then obviously, like you said, it is as being the

25
00:01:16,520 –> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: president of our investor group kind of what I see

26
00:01:19,280 –> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: myself as a leadership role when it comes to me

27
00:01:21,160 –> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: in that with our investors. You’ve made Smoke proud do that,

28
00:01:25,560 –> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: and Matt, it’s great. I mean, we talk about it

29
00:01:27,560 –> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: right about it, but it’s it’s something we do all

30
00:01:29,640 –> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: year long, not just one week for Salute to Service. Yeah,

31
00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: it’s a great way that the NFL uses its platform

32
00:01:35,000 –> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: to thank all of those that make what we do

33
00:01:38,120 –> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: a reality. Right, and if it wasn’t for those that

34
00:01:40,040 –> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: put their lives in the line every single day, for

35
00:01:43,040 –> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: millions of people that they’ll never meet, we wouldn’t get

36
00:01:45,280 –> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: to talk about football for a living. So it’s not

37
00:01:48,120 –> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: just one month. That’s why we’re wearing this in December.

38
00:01:50,000 –> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: Of course, November is Salute to Service Month in the NFL,

39
00:01:52,640 –> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: but we’re rocking these year in December to show that

40
00:01:55,080 –> 00:01:57,440

Speaker 1: Now we have Irwin in the City of Rowing in Netherlands.

71
00:03:35,960 –> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: I even practiced upstairs and I’m pretty sure I butchered that.

72
00:03:38,280 –> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: But he’s in the Netherlands. He declared it Kingdom on

73
00:03:41,040 –> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: the North Sea. I’m still kind of safty against the

74
00:03:43,120 –> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: Netherlands because the soccer stuff. So yeah, just get past it, man,

81
00:04:09,320 –> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: finds a way. So that’s are around the world. I

82
00:04:11,680 –> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: also have some plugs here that we need to talk

83
00:04:14,640 –> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: about briefly. So there’s a few different things going on.

84
00:04:17,080 –> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: There’s Pro Bowl voting going on, which I know we

85
00:04:20,560 –> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: don’t really care about the Pro Bowl. We’re gonna be

86
00:04:22,400 –> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: in the super Bowl, but still it’s important to the

87
00:04:24,080 –> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: guys condition for their career Bowl team. Yeah, so in

88
00:04:29,120 –> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: order to vote for the Chiefs, all you have to

89
00:04:30,920 –> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: do is go on Twitter, use hashtag Pro Bowl Vote

90
00:04:34,600 –> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: and then just tag the player or write their first

91
00:04:37,320 –> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: and last name, so hashtag Pro Bowl Vote then like

92
00:04:40,320 –> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. So there’s that. There’s also a fan ballot

93
00:04:43,600 –> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: online on the NFL’s website, and then there’s also the

94
00:04:46,720 –> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: Walter Peyton Man of the Year Challenge going on, which

95
00:04:49,320 –> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: is a social media challenge and it’s like a fan vote. Basically,

96
00:04:52,520 –> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: it’s different than the actual Walter Payton Man of the

97
00:04:54,640 –> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: Year award. What this is is if you win this

98
00:04:57,120 –> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: fan vote, you get a whole bunch of money towards

99
00:04:59,320 –> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: your foundation. So this is an opportunity for Chiefs fans

100
00:05:02,400 –> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: to make their voices heard and pour a bunch of

101
00:05:04,640 –> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: money into our city. So to do that, use hashtag

102
00:05:08,600 –> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: wp m o Y challenge and then just tag Patrick

103
00:05:13,360 –> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: Mahomes or just write his name Patrick Mahomes, but hashtag

104
00:05:16,720 –> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: wp m o Y challenge and then Patrick Mahomes and

105
00:05:21,200 –> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: you will do your part to help get these funds

106
00:05:23,640 –> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: to Kansas City. Glad you mentioned that last night because

107
00:05:26,040 –> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: we had an emotional I’m glad you mentioned it today.

108
00:05:28,120 –> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: Last night as we are taping this was a very

109
00:05:32,400 –> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: emotional night. It was the fifteen in Mahomes Big Gala.

110
00:05:37,480 –> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: It was phenomenal. The twenty four different organizations that work

111
00:05:42,480 –> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: with children in the Chiefs Kingdom were represented on the

112
00:05:45,560 –> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 1: stage at one time. And as I mentioned him seeing

113
00:05:48,839 –> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: the event, Patrick Mahomes has compiled stats. He’s number one

114
00:05:51,800 –> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: in NFL history and first seventy five starts and all

115
00:05:54,560 –> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: of the major metrics you look at atamps, completions, touchdown

116
00:05:58,360 –> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I and T ratio, on and on and on. But

117
00:06:00,440 –> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: he’s also number one in wins. So you can get stats,

118
00:06:03,800 –> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: but not win. You can get wins but not stats.

119
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: He has all of that, but his heart is amazing.

120
00:06:09,760 –> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: We have a special, special guy quarterbacking this team and

121
00:06:12,760 –> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: it’s not just the wins and stats. If you get

122
00:06:15,440 –> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: a chance to go on social media and take a

123
00:06:17,640 –> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: look at that stage at the end of that event,

124
00:06:20,400 –> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: you’ll know why you want to make sure that he

125
00:06:24,080 –> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: gets the social media side of the NFL Man of

126
00:06:26,680 –> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: the Year. There’s a lot of pride in that award.

127
00:06:29,200 –> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: Two here the Chiefs have had more Walter Payton Men

128
00:06:31,200 –> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: of the Year in the NFL Men of the Year

129
00:06:32,720 –> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: than any of the franchise. But if Patrick gets it,

130
00:06:35,560 –> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: just think of all those kids and twenty four different

131
00:06:38,000 –> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: organizations on that stage. Now, it’s just another way of

132
00:06:41,400 –> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: kind of wrapping up a summarizing when we talk about midwins,

133
00:06:43,839 –> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: values and wow, certain guys really fit in the Chiefs

134
00:06:47,080 –> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: kingdom and what makes a guy in this You know, hey,

135
00:06:49,320 –> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: my heydays after I’m finished playing come back and want

136
00:06:51,880 –> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: to raise my kids here in Kansas City. To see

137
00:06:54,279 –> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: current players kind of living it out in our community.

138
00:06:57,600 –> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: As far as the donation money and the on of

139
00:07:00,240 –> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: activity they do to help out community. It’s an amazing

140
00:07:03,480 –> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: award and achievement. And I think if we can do

141
00:07:05,600 –> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: that as a fan base to bring some awareness to

142
00:07:07,600 –> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: the Walter Payton Man of the Year challenge, that gets

143
00:07:10,680 –> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: that influx of money into the fifteen mahomis. I mean,

144
00:07:13,960 –> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: we should definitely go do it. You think about what

145
00:07:16,160 –> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: a great player he is, right, he’s the best player

146
00:07:18,400 –> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: in the National Football League in our opinion, we think

147
00:07:20,560 –> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 1: he’s the MVP of the NFL. That’s awesome. But even

148
00:07:24,320 –> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: more important than that is as busy as he is,

149
00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: he still finds time and makes time for so many

150
00:07:30,640 –> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: people in need, and he uses his platform to help

151
00:07:33,560 –> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: other people. And that’s in the end, what it’s all about.

152
00:07:36,240 –> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: And it’s just it’s so awesome and we’re so lucky

153
00:07:38,720 –> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: that we have a player who is not only such

154
00:07:40,600 –> 00:07:43,119
Speaker 1: an amazing player and leader on the field, he also

155
00:07:43,280 –> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: cares and we see that with everything that he does.

156
00:07:45,680 –> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: And that’s why I think he’s so deserving of being

157
00:07:48,200 –> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: the Walter Peyton Man of the Year this year. And

158
00:07:50,160 –> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: I a character Maslo Norway or if you’re a Vamokawa,

159
00:07:53,680 –> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: try to find the photo on social media and go

160
00:07:57,040 –> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: the fifteen in Mahomi’s Twitter page and find it. The

161
00:08:00,080 –> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: moment that those kids, those organizations, twenty four of them represented,

162
00:08:04,320 –> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: all on the stage at one time. It is phenomenal. Okay,

163
00:08:08,360 –> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: let’s jump into Broncho week. Here the football said of this,

164
00:08:11,240 –> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: go there, don’t go there now. I said make it,

165
00:08:14,720 –> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: take it. I really meant keep it, so make it,

166
00:08:17,040 –> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: take it and keep it. Do you ever play make

167
00:08:19,120 –> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: it and take it in basketball? Oh? Yeah, right right,

168
00:08:21,960 –> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: you make it. You keep the ball. You don’t stop.

169
00:08:23,840 –> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: I don’t stop you. I don’t ever get the ball.

170
00:08:25,280 –> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: I just said, my place, that’s how it happens most time.

171
00:08:28,440 –> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: I knew that because we have these games at camp.

172
00:08:30,720 –> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: This is the sneaky one training camp. He came flying

173
00:08:33,520 –> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: in to block a shot. I’m like, who is that? Kay? Anyway,

174
00:08:36,880 –> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: make up for my lack of talent with you know,

175
00:08:40,000 –> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: heart and energy. You know, my mom was a college

176
00:08:41,920 –> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: basketball player. My dad was not. And I got the

177
00:08:44,960 –> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: dad jeans. Unfortunately, man that your sister. Did you get

178
00:08:48,000 –> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: the mom jeans? No? Not really? Yeah, well Mom’s okay, now, Bunny,

179
00:08:52,440 –> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: good try anyway, it’s make it, take it, keep it,

180
00:08:55,960 –> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: and to make it is make history. Yes, take the

181
00:08:59,000 –> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: division and keep the street going. Let’s just talk about that.

182
00:09:01,920 –> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: Against the Broncos. Take this in specific and that is

183
00:09:04,800 –> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: make history. The Chiefs in several ways can make history

184
00:09:07,559 –> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: this week, especially Travis Kelsey. One yard away, he’ll be

185
00:09:10,640 –> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: the all time tight end yards after catch, twenty six

186
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: yards away, ten thousand receiving yards. Only five tight ends

187
00:09:16,360 –> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: have ever done it. He’ll be the fastest fastest to

188
00:09:19,240 –> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: do it by forty games. Think about that about three

189
00:09:22,120 –> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: seasons almost and then you look at the history. The

190
00:09:25,960 –> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs can win a fourteenth consecutive time over the Broncos.

191
00:09:29,000 –> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: That would be the fourth longest streak in the history

192
00:09:31,800 –> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: of the National Football League by one team over a

193
00:09:35,040 –> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: single opponent. So let’s talk first about making history here

194
00:09:38,640 –> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: and why the Chiefs need to be like zeroed in

195
00:09:41,240 –> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. Wow. I would love to maybe challenge

196
00:09:43,960 –> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: our listeners to take a moment and reach out to

197
00:09:47,120 –> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: me on Twitter or on social media and tell me

198
00:09:49,520 –> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: who do you think the best tight end of all

199
00:09:51,200 –> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: time is? Is it Tony Gonzalez, Is it Travis Kelsey?

200
00:09:54,320 –> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: That’s the debata round every water cooler, every discussion between

201
00:09:58,600 –> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: X players has been in the locker room, Tony Gonzalez,

202
00:10:01,280 –> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: whether it’s Jason Donne Billy Baber. No matter who I’m

203
00:10:04,160 –> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: talking to each guys and I love those guys, all right,

204
00:10:08,840 –> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: Billy Baber, I love you. Conversation. Oh it’s a heating conversation. Um.

205
00:10:15,120 –> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: And if you want to get a part of that conversation,

206
00:10:17,440 –> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: reach out to me on social media and give me

207
00:10:19,559 –> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: your feedback. Let me know, why do you think it’s

208
00:10:21,720 –> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez, Why do you think it’s Travis Kelcey, And

209
00:10:24,240 –> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: support it with some statements, some facts, um, and let’s

210
00:10:27,520 –> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: bring that to life, because honestly, in my mind, I’ve

211
00:10:30,280 –> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 1: played against Tony Gonzalez and I practice against him, and

212
00:10:33,760 –> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I know exactly why I feel like he’s maybe the

213
00:10:37,400 –> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: best Titan to ever played the game. But what I’m

214
00:10:40,080 –> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: witnessing right now is like history in the making. It’s

215
00:10:42,920 –> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: history in the making. Three touchdowns twice in one year,

216
00:10:46,800 –> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: like you’re saying, one yard away from being the all

217
00:10:49,360 –> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: time hyat and receiving yards. Um, I’m seeing it in

218
00:10:54,160 –> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: the making. And it’s hard for me to uh stick

219
00:10:56,960 –> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: my loyalties to to TG even though I was a

220
00:11:00,040 –> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: former teammate that he isn’t I played with him and

221
00:11:01,760 –> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: I practice against him. I’m seeing Travis do some things

222
00:11:04,520 –> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: that are a legendary. I don’t want it to come

223
00:11:06,960 –> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: across I’m being disloyal to Tony. But Tea kills Kelsey

224
00:11:11,160 –> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: blows away everybody else that’s in this discussion, and it’s

225
00:11:14,360 –> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: not even close. In my opinion, He’s thirty two yards

226
00:11:17,800 –> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 1: away from seven straight one thousand yards receiving seasons. People

227
00:11:21,280 –> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: think he’s just oh, he’s a wide receiver playing tight end.

228
00:11:24,000 –> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 1: Who boa woa, whoa whoa. The yards after catch stat

229
00:11:26,480 –> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: to me is the tiebreaker because yards after catch usually

230
00:11:29,760 –> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: and you know this, man, it goes to a running back.

231
00:11:31,640 –> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: I throw to you at two yards, you run for twelve.

232
00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: That’s ten yack yards. I throw to you in the

233
00:11:35,600 –> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: air twenty five yards you catch it, shop tackles me.

234
00:11:38,720 –> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: That’s only twenty I mean that’s zero yack yards. So

235
00:11:41,720 –> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: for a tight end to get yack yards and have

236
00:11:44,160 –> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: all of the other receiving yards, to me, is the

237
00:11:46,200 –> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: tiebreaker with Kelse because all the stats. Shannon Sharpe love

238
00:11:50,440 –> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: Tea GNS. Don’t take this wrong, Billy Baber right, Billy,

239
00:11:53,600 –> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: We’re still trying to get your papers to see if

240
00:11:55,280 –> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: you belong on the planet. I’m just saying he’s an alien, dude,

241
00:11:59,080 –> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: Billy Baber is an alien. But t Kelse is the

242
00:12:02,640 –> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: best it’s ever done. It’s sorry. Well, so, first of all,

243
00:12:05,240 –> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: it’s it’s a good problem to have for Chiefs fans, right,

244
00:12:07,480 –> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: Like we’re arguing between the two greatest times of the

245
00:12:09,840 –> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: First World problem. They both played for the Chiefs, like

246
00:12:12,880 –> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: in this millennium, Like we watched them all play. It’s amazing.

247
00:12:16,200 –> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: But man, what Kelsey’s doing right now is just so unbelievable.

248
00:12:19,720 –> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: And I’d say this every time we talk about him.

249
00:12:22,559 –> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: We cannot normalize what Travis Kelsey is doing. Because if

250
00:12:26,840 –> 00:12:28,839
Speaker 1: you’ve been watching the Chiefs the last several years, you’re

251
00:12:28,880 –> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: pretty used to it. Like, oh yeah, Travis Kelsey just

252
00:12:31,120 –> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: you know, has one hundred yards, two touchdowns, no big deal,

253
00:12:34,360 –> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: putting corners who are half his age on skates like

254
00:12:37,160 –> 00:12:40,119
Speaker 1: it’s not hard at all. I mean, it’s just amazing

255
00:12:40,160 –> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: what he does and we cannot normalize it. And he’s

256
00:12:42,800 –> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: just such a leader as well. He’s just such a

257
00:12:44,960 –> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: great guy. Like one thing that stood out to me

258
00:12:46,600 –> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: when we lost to the Colts earlier this year, and

259
00:12:49,320 –> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: he did the same thing after the Bengals lost, but

260
00:12:51,200 –> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: after the Colts earlier this year. Uh, tough game, right,

261
00:12:54,600 –> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: and he had a catch in the end zone that

262
00:12:56,240 –> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: he almost had very difficult. I don’t think anyone after

263
00:13:00,720 –> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: that game was blaming Travis Kelsey for the loss, you know,

264
00:13:03,240 –> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: but he went on Twitter He’s like, Chiefs Kingdom, that’s

265
00:13:04,960 –> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: on me, Like that won’t happen again. And it’s like, man,

266
00:13:07,960 –> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: I don’t think anyone’s blaming you. But he still puts

267
00:13:09,840 –> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: it on himself. And that’s why he’s such a great player.

268
00:13:11,880 –> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, he holds himself to such a high standard.

269
00:13:14,200 –> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: I know he’s feeling that way after the fumble last week,

270
00:13:16,320 –> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: but that was his first fumble, not just lost fumble,

271
00:13:18,880 –> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: his first fumble in twenty two games. I don’t think

272
00:13:21,880 –> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: it’s gonna happen anytime soon. So heck of a player,

273
00:13:24,800 –> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: heck of a leader. I think one day when he’s

274
00:13:27,760 –> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: being introduced in Canton, we’re gonna think about it and

275
00:13:30,360 –> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: be like, man, we watched the Travis Kelcey era in

276
00:13:32,520 –> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Pretty cool. Yeah. He was on Chiefs Kingdom

277
00:13:35,120 –> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: show Monday night on the Chiefs Radio Network and he

278
00:13:37,280 –> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: first of all I admired he came there. You know,

279
00:13:39,240 –> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: this as a player, you have that moment like he

280
00:13:41,400 –> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: had at the fumble against the Bengals, and you’re like, man,

281
00:13:43,480 –> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: I just want to give me about forty eight hours.

282
00:13:45,559 –> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: I don’t want to see nobody or doing nothing. And

283
00:13:47,840 –> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: he came in front of about two hundred fans. It

284
00:13:50,000 –> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: was it’s just the way he is. The other thing

285
00:13:52,800 –> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: I’ll mention as we look at making history here Patrick Mahomes,

286
00:13:57,080 –> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: who had his street broken of his twenty six straight

287
00:13:59,080 –> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: wins in November, to say number he wins this game

288
00:14:01,559 –> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: against the Broncos, he’ll be fifteen and o on the

289
00:14:04,640 –> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: road against the AFC West, eclipsed only by Joe Montana

290
00:14:08,480 –> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: who had twenty straight road division wins. That’s it. So

291
00:14:11,679 –> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: another piece of making history here. But let’s go next

292
00:14:14,559 –> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: and or make it and take it, and that is

293
00:14:16,480 –> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: to take the division. You can do it this week.

294
00:14:19,880 –> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: It goes back to what are we waiting for about

295
00:14:21,600 –> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: three weeks ago? Take the division shot. I mean before

296
00:14:25,640 –> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: every season, it’s a it’s a clear laundry list of

297
00:14:28,720 –> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: things to do each season, and I think coach Andy

298
00:14:31,440 –> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: Reid makes it very clear to the team, the entire organization,

299
00:14:34,680 –> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: what do we have to do in order to win

300
00:14:36,160 –> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: our division. That’s the first informanst thing. You gotta win

301
00:14:38,560 –> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: at home, you win in your division, and then you

302
00:14:40,240 –> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: handle you know, the regular season in playoffs, have a

303
00:14:43,520 –> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: chance to do four team in a row against this

304
00:14:47,520 –> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: team to win another division. Crazy here under coach Andy Reid.

305
00:14:53,040 –> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: The opportunity is in front of the team, is to

306
00:14:54,960 –> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: do something that hasn’t been done in a very long time.

307
00:14:57,360 –> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: And we talk about in the history of the NFL,

308
00:14:59,120 –> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: not just as a Chiefs orization, but the entire history

309
00:15:01,600 –> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: of the NFL. And I think the opportunity is right

310
00:15:03,640 –> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: before us. I think the team, coming off of a

311
00:15:06,000 –> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: loss to the Bengals, is in perfect position to take

312
00:15:08,800 –> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: care of business, not only against the Broncos, but for

313
00:15:11,080 –> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: this five game stretch to get us prepared for the playoffs.

314
00:15:14,400 –> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: And there’s nobody in a better frame of mind to

315
00:15:17,440 –> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: get our team ready to play down. I think one

316
00:15:19,840 –> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: coach Andy enough to Chiefs pull this off. You’ll know

317
00:15:22,520 –> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: when you put your head on a pillow Sunday night.

318
00:15:24,960 –> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: If the Chiefs have this done. Now the Chargers have

319
00:15:26,960 –> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: to lose. That’s going to be on Sunday night football.

320
00:15:29,760 –> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: So we’ll be flying back from Denver. But the Chiefs win,

321
00:15:32,040 –> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: Chargers lose seven straight AFC West Division titles. To your point, shop,

322
00:15:37,120 –> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: that’s second second in National Football League history, only behind

323
00:15:40,920 –> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: New England’s dominance in the two thousands in the AFC East.

324
00:15:45,560 –> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: So make it make history here for the Chiefs against

325
00:15:47,840 –> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Take it, Take the division, man. So I

326
00:15:50,240 –> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: was an intern with the Chiefs back in twenty sixteen,

327
00:15:53,280 –> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: which was when the streak began, and I’ve been a

328
00:15:55,960 –> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: Chiefs family whole life, right, So I thought it was

329
00:15:58,120 –> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: so cool that I got a hat that said we

330
00:16:01,080 –> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: were AFC West Champions for free and I could wear it,

331
00:16:03,880 –> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: you know. And I had that hat, and even when

332
00:16:05,640 –> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: I left the Chiefs briefly, I took the hat with

333
00:16:08,880 –> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: me to Minnesota when I lived up there, and then

334
00:16:11,080 –> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: I moved back here when I got the full time

335
00:16:12,720 –> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: job with the Chiefs and we won the division again,

336
00:16:15,440 –> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: and that was a really big deal at the time

337
00:16:17,560 –> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: because it was the first time in franchise history that

338
00:16:20,320 –> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: we won consecutive division titles. It was a big deal

339
00:16:23,040 –> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: and we were very proud of it. Every single year

340
00:16:25,880 –> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: since then, I’ve gotten a hat at the end of

341
00:16:27,480 –> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: the year that says we’re AFC West champions and again,

342
00:16:30,560 –> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: we cannot take this for granted because it is just

343
00:16:33,120 –> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: crazy what the Chiefs have been able to do over

344
00:16:35,680 –> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: the last seven seasons, winning less division over and over again.

345
00:16:39,640 –> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: And it’s funny because last year you and I would

346
00:16:42,200 –> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: talk privately about how last year’s division championship was maybe

347
00:16:45,640 –> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: the sweetest because we start three and four, everyone else

348
00:16:49,200 –> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: is gunning for us. Everyone’s saying the Chiefs are not

349
00:16:51,560 –> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: going to make the playoffs and we still won the division, right,

350
00:16:53,840 –> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: And I was like, that was the sweetest. Well, then

351
00:16:55,720 –> 00:16:58,479
Speaker 1: this past offseason, I think we were having the same conversation.

352
00:16:58,520 –> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: It’s like everyone is up. It’s the AFC West Arms race.

353
00:17:02,480 –> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: This one might be the sweetest when we pull it

354
00:17:04,600 –> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: off because we knew we were going to and what

355
00:17:07,160 –> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: do you know, We’re right here in early December with

356
00:17:09,640 –> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: an opportunity to win a seventh consecutive division title. The

357
00:17:14,200 –> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: media wants to talk about every other team. That’s fine.

358
00:17:17,400 –> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are just getting better in the offseason and

359
00:17:19,720 –> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: positioning themselves to win it yet again in a league

360
00:17:22,720 –> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: that is built on parody, And it’s just an amazing thing.

361
00:17:25,640 –> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: And we can’t take it for granted because this is

362
00:17:27,440 –> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: the golden era of Chiefs football. It’s very hard to

363
00:17:30,400 –> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: win a division title. Seven division titles is next to impossible.

364
00:17:34,320 –> 00:17:36,479
Speaker 1: And it’s right there for the Chiefs. You’re gonna be

365
00:17:36,480 –> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: in Polo, Missouri. It can be good. A guianst poland

366
00:17:39,040 –> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: go find a search engine and look what was being

367
00:17:41,080 –> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: said throughout the summer, and it’s bingo and bingo. Check

368
00:17:44,080 –> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: in the first box is winning your division. Check with

369
00:17:46,920 –> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: all the other thirty one teams in the National Football League.

370
00:17:49,880 –> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: So first is go there, make it, take it, keep

371
00:17:53,520 –> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: it right, make history, take the division, and keep the

372
00:17:56,920 –> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: street going. But now it’s going to be don’t go there.

373
00:18:00,200 –> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: And where I’m going with that is, don’t think this

374
00:18:03,359 –> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: is going to be an easy game. This is a

375
00:18:06,000 –> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: very interesting study. The twenty twenty two Denver Broncos in shop.

376
00:18:09,720 –> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: I’ve only been in this league twenty nine years, but

377
00:18:11,720 –> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: I’m seeing things here I’ve never seen before. The Broncos

378
00:18:15,359 –> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: are three and nine, but they’ve lost six games of

379
00:18:18,320 –> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 1: their nine two opponents who have scored less than twenty

380
00:18:22,040 –> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: points and won the game. So this defense the Chiefs

381
00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: will play this week is a playoff caliber defense, oh

382
00:18:30,119 –> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: no doubt. And it starts on the back end right

383
00:18:33,359 –> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: passantating Junior is one of the top coiners in the

384
00:18:35,600 –> 00:18:39,479
Speaker 1: league this year. His coverability, his maneuverability, the way he

385
00:18:39,760 –> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: goes in and out of transcending his footwork and his

386
00:18:42,760 –> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: pattern work with actually making plays on the ball. And

387
00:18:46,320 –> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: then you pair them up with the safety like Simmons.

388
00:18:49,040 –> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: Those two guys are just a plant at a very

389
00:18:52,560 –> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: high level. And there’s so much confidence that’s being just

390
00:18:56,520 –> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: going from from back end forward and allowing those guys

391
00:19:00,200 –> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: to play way beyond their years. Um. The linebackers are

392
00:19:03,000 –> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: playing well downhill, the d line is filling their gaps.

393
00:19:06,840 –> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: There’s a there’s an amount of trust that you can

394
00:19:09,440 –> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: tell when you cut on the film because the guys

395
00:19:11,560 –> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: are their alignment, their assignment, their accountability for one another,

396
00:19:14,800 –> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: the communication, the trust, it’s all there and what you know,

397
00:19:18,280 –> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: even even off air, I kind of told y’all, this

398
00:19:20,640 –> 00:19:22,479
Speaker 1: team seems to be a divided team when you talk

399
00:19:22,520 –> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: about the demo Broncos, whereas their defense has kind of

400
00:19:25,800 –> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: disassociated themselves with the rest of the organization. Yeah, you

401
00:19:29,160 –> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: might think the head coaches, you know, not the greatest

402
00:19:32,359 –> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: of time development or time management. You might think Russell

403
00:19:35,840 –> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: Wilson is dealing with whatever issues because he doesn’t have

404
00:19:38,080 –> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. He usually has the running backs. You know,

405
00:19:41,960 –> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: Williams got hurt and Melvin Gordon is now here. So

406
00:19:45,760 –> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: on every level of their offense there’s dysfunction. The one

407
00:19:49,359 –> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: area of their team where’s no dysfunctions that defense. They

408
00:19:52,400 –> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: are hunting like a unit. They’re going out there as

409
00:19:55,400 –> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: a pack, and they’ve kind of unhitched themselves to the

410
00:20:00,080 –> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos train, that whole less ride and everything that

411
00:20:04,880 –> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was doing. The defense is kind of disassociate

412
00:20:07,840 –> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: themselves with everything that Russell is doing. And you can

413
00:20:11,080 –> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: tell it because even there’s times when there’s a flare

414
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: ups on the sideline, the defensive guys are going after

415
00:20:16,440 –> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: him a little bit about what are you doing with

416
00:20:17,840 –> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: the ball? Why are you turning over in this situation?

417
00:20:20,520 –> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: We got we got something we’re trying to accomplish on

418
00:20:22,480 –> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: the defense side of the ball, and you’re not a

419
00:20:24,200 –> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: part of it. Right now, I have all the respect

420
00:20:27,359 –> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: in the world the way this defense is going out

421
00:20:29,600 –> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: there and handling their business. They’re not worried about anything

422
00:20:32,480 –> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: the offense is doing. What they’re doing is going out

423
00:20:35,000 –> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: there and really taking care of Hey, we’re the number

424
00:20:38,200 –> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: one against points allowed in the league, and they plan

425
00:20:42,119 –> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: on finishing that way, no matter how many first downs

426
00:20:44,880 –> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: are their offense gives up, no matter how many points

427
00:20:47,560 –> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: they’re offense scores. They have a job to do and

428
00:20:50,200 –> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: they intend on doing it at a very high level,

429
00:20:52,840 –> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: no matter what happens on the other side of the ball.

430
00:20:55,160 –> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: They’ve only allowed nine touchdowns in twenty four or twenty

431
00:20:59,800 –> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: eight red zone trips. Okay, they are number one the

432
00:21:02,840 –> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos defense and forcing three and outs. That does

433
00:21:06,200 –> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: not translate to three wins and nine losses. Yeah, it’s

434
00:21:09,040 –> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: very perplexing. They’re just a weird study and weird team, man.

435
00:21:12,600 –> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they’re three and nine, they’re one in eight

436
00:21:15,200 –> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: in their last nine games, but ten of their twelve

437
00:21:18,320 –> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: games this season have been decided by one score, and

438
00:21:21,760 –> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: seven of those they’ve lost. So they’ve been in almost

439
00:21:24,840 –> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: every game. And why are they in almost every game? Well,

440
00:21:26,760 –> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: you guys are right, it’s their defense. And it sets

441
00:21:28,840 –> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: up a really interesting contrast between their defense and the

442
00:21:32,040 –> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense because in all these categories that they’re top five,

443
00:21:35,920 –> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: if not number one, The Chiefs are top five offensively,

444
00:21:38,880 –> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: if not number one. So they’re the number two scoring

445
00:21:41,720 –> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: defense in the league, allowing just seventeen points per game. Well,

446
00:21:44,960 –> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are the number one scoring offense in the league.

447
00:21:47,800 –> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: They’ve allowed the fewest touchdowns in the NFL, only seventeen.

448
00:21:51,080 –> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have the second most total touchdowns. They’ve held

449
00:21:53,880 –> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: the opposition under twenty points in nine games this season,

450
00:21:57,600 –> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: but the Chiefs, meanwhile, have scored at least twenty all

451
00:22:00,320 –> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: but one game. Red zone is where I think this

452
00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: game is really going to be one though. The Broncos

453
00:22:06,359 –> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: red zone defense is number one in the NFL in

454
00:22:08,720 –> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: terms of disallowing touchdowns, and they’ve also allowed the second

455
00:22:11,840 –> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: fewest red zone drives of any team. Conversely, the Chiefs

456
00:22:15,640 –> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: have the most red zone drives of any team and

457
00:22:17,920 –> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: the fifth highest conversion rate in terms of scoring touchdowns.

458
00:22:21,520 –> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: So a whole bunch of areas where the Broncos are

459
00:22:23,640 –> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: really good defensively, the Chiefs are also very good offensively.

460
00:22:26,760 –> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: Something has to give in this game. You mentioned the

461
00:22:28,880 –> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: red zone defense, We talked about it second place is

462
00:22:32,720 –> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 1: a long way away. For example, the touchdown percentage by

463
00:22:36,520 –> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: Broncho opponents against that defense and the red zone is

464
00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: thirty two percent mentioned nine out of twenty eight. The

465
00:22:42,119 –> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: Rams are second at forty three percent. This is a

466
00:22:45,600 –> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: dominant team in the red zone the Broncos defensively, I’m

467
00:22:48,440 –> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna ask you this question, then we’re going to flip

468
00:22:50,240 –> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: over the Broncos offense to close. As a defensive player,

469
00:22:53,600 –> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: you played in the league over ten years. When the

470
00:22:56,240 –> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: defense takes it’s like you’re taken in water and you

471
00:22:59,080 –> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: got the shop back out and you’re cleaning out the

472
00:23:01,600 –> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: debasement only to have it filled with water again. How

473
00:23:04,440 –> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: do you how do you handle that as a defensive

474
00:23:06,600 –> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: player in this league. I think that the way this

475
00:23:08,520 –> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: defense was put together and some of the leaders they

476
00:23:10,880 –> 00:23:13,120
Speaker 1: have on that. When we talked about Simmons, we talked

477
00:23:13,119 –> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: about m pascertain Junior, I think those guys, those leaders

478
00:23:17,800 –> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: on defense have looked each other in the eyes and

479
00:23:20,040 –> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: said things aren’t changing. No one is coming to help us,

480
00:23:23,240 –> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: No one is coming to save us. There is no

481
00:23:24,840 –> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: life preserver right there. There’s no use sending no SOS signals.

482
00:23:28,680 –> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 1: This offense is broken. So what we can do is

483
00:23:31,640 –> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: succumb to that and start giving up a bunch of points,

484
00:23:34,720 –> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: or we can set our internal goals, our internal GPS

485
00:23:39,040 –> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: on what makes us great, and they’re gonna stick true

486
00:23:42,000 –> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: to exactly what they do. A lot of man coverage,

487
00:23:44,480 –> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 1: sticky in the zone, their zones become man. They get

488
00:23:47,440 –> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: real sticky, real hands em and they challenge you on

489
00:23:50,720 –> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: every play. There is not a yard that’s being given,

490
00:23:53,600 –> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 1: not an inch, not forget the yard itch. They don’t

491
00:23:56,160 –> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: give you an inch. And they’re great tacklers. So from

492
00:24:00,119 –> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: offensive defensive standpoint, it’s gonna be a real challenge. And

493
00:24:03,560 –> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: I would love as a defensive person to be a

494
00:24:06,920 –> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: part of a defense where all eleven guys are sold

495
00:24:10,359 –> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: in on the concept of we’re not giving up a

496
00:24:13,400 –> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: single inch on this field, no matter what the scenario,

497
00:24:16,920 –> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: no matter what the down and distance. We make them

498
00:24:19,160 –> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: earn every inch of yardage on this game day. And

499
00:24:23,800 –> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: I think that’s a mantra that has gone through out

500
00:24:26,880 –> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: there defensive ranks, and every one of eleven guys are

501
00:24:30,520 –> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: playing just like that. It’s interesting. So instead of fracturing

502
00:24:33,920 –> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: the defense, it’s bottomly gallan us. Yes, right, brought them

503
00:24:36,680 –> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: close together. Really interesting. Let’s go to the offensive side

504
00:24:38,920 –> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: of the ball, because this is where they’re three and nine.

505
00:24:41,560 –> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. It’s the worst year of his career by far.

506
00:24:44,480 –> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 1: If you look at his completion percentage, it’s the worst

507
00:24:46,640 –> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 1: of his career by far. His quarterback rating is twenty

508
00:24:50,000 –> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: ninth in the league. There are thirty three guys that

509
00:24:52,760 –> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: have qualified in quarterback rating. Three of the four that

510
00:24:56,880 –> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: are behind him are no longer starters. Let me just

511
00:24:59,119 –> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: give you the two behind named Baker Mayfield and Zach Wilson.

512
00:25:02,320 –> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: That gives you an idea. The only guy that’s behind

513
00:25:04,359 –> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: him is Pikett, the rookie out of Pittsburgh Russell Wilson,

514
00:25:08,520 –> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 1: and yes, and I shop alluded to it. They’re missing

515
00:25:11,119 –> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: three offensive limas I look at my boards, or missing

516
00:25:13,480 –> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams, two top wide receivers. But still still, this

517
00:25:18,040 –> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: has just been a brutal year for Russell Wilson. It’s

518
00:25:21,040 –> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: just been a snowball effect of I think everything that

519
00:25:24,160 –> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: can go wrong has gone wrong offensively for them this year.

520
00:25:28,240 –> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: And it’s from week one and it just hasn’t gotten

521
00:25:30,640 –> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: any better as a season has gone on. And to

522
00:25:33,119 –> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: be fair, they have had a ton of injuries on offense,

523
00:25:35,920 –> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: but still their scheme and the talent that they have

524
00:25:38,760 –> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: is impressive. Enough that they should be better than they are,

525
00:25:41,280 –> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: and it just hasn’t worked out that way. And I

526
00:25:43,280 –> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: think it was fair to assume when Russell Wilson first

527
00:25:46,480 –> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: went to Denver that maybe there’s gonna be some growing

528
00:25:49,359 –> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: pains and some hiccups, but eventually you have to move

529
00:25:52,359 –> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: past those, and they just haven’t. As a team. I mean,

530
00:25:55,160 –> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: it’s the number thirty two scoring offense in the NFL,

531
00:25:58,440 –> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: averaging thirteen point eight points per game. They’re thirtieth and

532
00:26:01,440 –> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: third end conversion rate. They’ve punted more than any other team,

533
00:26:04,800 –> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: and this one stands out to me. They’ve been penalized

534
00:26:07,320 –> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: more than any other team in the league. So it’s

535
00:26:09,760 –> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: more than just the scheme isn’t working. They’re undisciplined. I mean,

536
00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: to have the most penalties in the NFL. I mean,

537
00:26:16,119 –> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: that’s the kind of thing you can control at the

538
00:26:18,000 –> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: end of the day, and that’s hurt them in the

539
00:26:20,400 –> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: long run. They have the fewest red zone drives in

540
00:26:22,560 –> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 1: the NFL, with only twenty four, and when they do

541
00:26:24,920 –> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: get there their second to last and read zone scoring.

542
00:26:27,600 –> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: They’re scoring touchdowns at just a thirty seven point five

543
00:26:30,200 –> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: percent clip. And Wilson has been under pressure a lot

544
00:26:33,840 –> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: this year. He’s been stacked at least twice in every

545
00:26:35,920 –> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: game this season, and three or more times in all

546
00:26:38,800 –> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: but two games. So they’ve got talent on this offense.

547
00:26:42,200 –> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: They’ve got Courtland Sutton and Jerry Judy, and yeah, they’ve

548
00:26:44,840 –> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: had a lot of injuries. But still when you look

549
00:26:47,000 –> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: at this roster on paper, you think they should be

550
00:26:49,160 –> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: better than they are, and just for a multitude of reasons,

551
00:26:52,560 –> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: it just hasn’t worked this year for them. But why

552
00:26:54,320 –> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: are they dangerous? They have led at halftime five times

553
00:26:57,160 –> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: most games three and nine, they’ve led at halftime five times.

554
00:27:00,480 –> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: Don makes this a danger So go there, don’t go there.

555
00:27:04,040 –> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: I’ll give you another one in shop. We’ll get one

556
00:27:05,600 –> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: final comment here as we wrap it up. Greg Dolcich,

557
00:27:07,840 –> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: to me, might be the most dangerous player the Broncos

558
00:27:10,440 –> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: have in this game. He’s an athletic tight end, he

559
00:27:13,400 –> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: got some Kelsey in him. He’s a rookie out of UCLA.

560
00:27:16,440 –> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: He missed the first five games of the Year’s first

561
00:27:18,560 –> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: game back, Ramo thirty nine yard touchdown against the Chargers.

562
00:27:22,040 –> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: They move him around, they try to get him in matchups.

563
00:27:24,640 –> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: He’s a guy that can give them big plays. He’s

564
00:27:26,840 –> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: got that ability. Well, what I would say is overall,

565
00:27:29,359 –> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: when you talk about the struggles of defense, I mean

566
00:27:31,880 –> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 1: the offense is having with Russell Wilson getting on the

567
00:27:34,359 –> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: same page. And when you have different pieces and you

568
00:27:38,119 –> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: have to communicate as a quarterback, you have to have

569
00:27:40,920 –> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 1: something the level of trust that what you’re communicating is

570
00:27:43,200 –> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: getting accepted, whether it’s the offensive line blocking, whether the

571
00:27:46,359 –> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: receivers adjusting their routes. Early on in the year, there

572
00:27:50,359 –> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: was a play that comes to mind where I see

573
00:27:52,640 –> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson giving a signal. He’s given a smash signal

574
00:27:55,440 –> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver. He wants Quitland sudden to run

575
00:27:58,920 –> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: a smash route. Side guy runs a stop instead of

576
00:28:02,160 –> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: running a seven. He curls up and Russell throws the seven.

577
00:28:05,840 –> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: It almost is intercepted. Well, for the rest of the game,

578
00:28:08,720 –> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: he could never trust to throw it on schedule, so

579
00:28:12,359 –> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: every throw throughout the rest of that game became an

580
00:28:14,880 –> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: off schedule throw. If you don’t have the communication level

581
00:28:18,119 –> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: of a trust between your receivers knowing what routes to run,

582
00:28:21,520 –> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: then you can’t run a two minute offense. You can’t.

583
00:28:23,840 –> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: You can’t. All your audibles become you’re looking at him, like,

584
00:28:26,880 –> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: do you really know what I’m I’m gonna throw this?

585
00:28:29,080 –> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: And are you really ready to run the right route?

586
00:28:31,960 –> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: Any kind of adjustments, any kind of pressure did you

587
00:28:34,240 –> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: put on their receivers and those routes as they’re developing,

588
00:28:37,320 –> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: you can almost see the unsureness, the inability to the

589
00:28:41,320 –> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: lack of confidence between the quarterback and the receivers. Do

590
00:28:44,840 –> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: we really know? Are we on the same page? And

591
00:28:47,560 –> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: that is the most infuriating thing to have as a

592
00:28:50,480 –> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: head coach or offensive coordinator, because now, what do you

593
00:28:54,320 –> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: call it? It’s a lose lose situation no matter what

594
00:28:58,760 –> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 1: you’re doing. And that’s the fresh nothing that’s going throughout

595
00:29:02,640 –> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: this Broncos offense. And there’s no there’s no answer for that.

596
00:29:06,120 –> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: There’s no quick answer. But like you said, the tight

597
00:29:09,200 –> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: end in him can get on on on the same page.

598
00:29:12,080 –> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: And if they can find a connection and and create

599
00:29:14,640 –> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: some momentum. They’ve led games in the halftime and now

600
00:29:17,880 –> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: in the second half, if you leave them close and

601
00:29:20,120 –> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: give them a chance to win um, that could be dangerous. Yep.

602
00:29:23,120 –> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: And again, I can script those plays. I can script

603
00:29:26,120 –> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: the first fifteen. I can review them. I can review

604
00:29:28,080 –> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: them Saturday in the meetings. I can do that and

605
00:29:29,880 –> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: then play sixteen to sixty. That’s what comes into play.

606
00:29:33,280 –> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: It’s no more script. You better have this thing down

607
00:29:35,760 –> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: your thoughts. Finally on this game, Well, really, this Broncos

608
00:29:38,320 –> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: squad just shows the margin for error and the NFL

609
00:29:41,360 –> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: how slim it is. Because if you’ve watched a lot

610
00:29:43,800 –> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: of the Broncos games this season, and they’ve been in

611
00:29:45,520 –> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: primetime quite a bit. I think about their game against

612
00:29:47,800 –> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: the Colts, for example, they nearly won that game we

613
00:29:50,240 –> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: are watching in Cincinnati before our game. They almost beat

614
00:29:53,280 –> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens. So I know the Ravens are playing with

615
00:29:55,480 –> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: their backup quarterback, but still they almost won that game.

616
00:29:57,680 –> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: And that’s all that matters in the end is the wins.

617
00:29:59,680 –> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: So it shows how slim the margin for error is

618
00:30:02,760 –> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: when they’ve played in all these close games and in

619
00:30:04,880 –> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: the end they just can’t come through. It’s important for

620
00:30:07,760 –> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs to enter this game knowing it’s going to

621
00:30:09,560 –> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: be a fight, and these divisional games always are. You

622
00:30:11,880 –> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: throughout the records and the stats and all of that.

623
00:30:13,920 –> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, think about last year against the Broncos at

624
00:30:16,400 –> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: Mile High, a very close game when Drew Locke was

625
00:30:19,000 –> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: their quarterback, and they almost won that game. So it’s

626
00:30:21,560 –> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 1: going to be a fight no matter what the Broncos

627
00:30:23,760 –> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: record is and the struggles that they’ve faced this year.

628
00:30:26,400 –> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: But I think the Chiefs, for them, it’s an opportunity

629
00:30:28,920 –> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: to get back on track, to be feeling really good

630
00:30:31,520 –> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: again after a tough loss to the Bengals and just

631
00:30:34,280 –> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: got to go in and play your game, play mistake

632
00:30:36,200 –> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: free football, go out there and execute and they’ll be okay.

633
00:30:38,840 –> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: But it’s going to be a battle, I think on Sunday,

634
00:30:41,480 –> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: and this Broncos squad hasn’t been their year, but they’re

635
00:30:44,920 –> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: fighting to show that they there’s still a reason for

636
00:30:48,240 –> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: them to be playing right. They’re playing for pride, they’re

637
00:30:50,120 –> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: playing for themselves, and it’s going to be a battle

638
00:30:52,400 –> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Chiefs just need to be ready. The slimmest

639
00:30:55,480 –> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: margin of victory throughout the entire NFL this season since

640
00:31:00,080 –> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: nineteen thirty two, every game, it seems like it’s just

641
00:31:03,760 –> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: a knock down, drag out, slimmest of margins. So go there,

642
00:31:07,400 –> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: go to Denver, make it, take it, keep it, make history,

643
00:31:11,880 –> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: take the division, and keep the streak alive. But don’t

644
00:31:15,920 –> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: go there, Kingdom. If you think This is going to

645
00:31:18,640 –> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: be easy. Lock your jaw and get it done. Touch down,

646
00:31:25,040 –> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: locks it down, and the celebration begins in their head.
