13
00:00:42,479 –> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: ready for Super Bowl fifty seven, let’s go around the

14
00:00:45,680 –> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: world and are defending the Kingdom tradition. Well, first of all,

15
00:00:48,640 –> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, how ridiculous is the setting right now? I mean,

16
00:00:52,520 –> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: we have a Super Bowl to get ready for. But

17
00:00:55,080 –> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: you and I are just trying to mellow out a

18
00:00:57,200 –> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: little bit. I think we’re achieving it with our current

19
00:00:59,600 –> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: surroundings that you think. I think so, But my mind

20
00:01:02,600 –> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: is going back to the day I beat the drum

21
00:01:04,880 –> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: for the Seattle Seahawk game when it was minus four

22
00:01:07,360 –> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: on the field, wind chill, and I think it was

23
00:01:09,080 –> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: higher up there, So I ain’t apologizing for it. So

24
00:01:13,280 –> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: as we go around the world, I’m just gonna go

25
00:01:15,760 –> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: with you in the backseat. My friend. Yeah, my wife

26
00:01:18,240 –> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: is back in Kansas City talking about the snow that

27
00:01:20,560 –> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: just hit, and I’m trying to not talk about this

28
00:01:23,240 –> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: that much. But let’s go around the world. They got

29
00:01:25,640 –> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: ten people all over the world listening to DTK. We

30
00:01:28,959 –> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: have tons of people, so I’m trying to catch up

31
00:01:31,760 –> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: on some people that wrote in a few days ago.

32
00:01:34,840 –> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: If you wrote in on the last episode, I will

33
00:01:36,600 –> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 1: get to you, I promise. But we have ten people

72
00:03:41,840 –> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: I thought I got to visit this. I did it

73
00:03:43,320 –> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: right before. I was part of my Christmas gifts that

74
00:03:46,320 –> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: I handed out to folks was getting some Jay Rieger

Speaker 1: gift certificates. I’m gonna take Tammy back there. But they’re

76
00:03:51,280 –> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: having a Super Bowl party and if you want to

77
00:03:54,600 –> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: experience the Kingdom like you’re at the game, Jay Rieger

78

80
00:04:03,480 –> 00:04:06,160

Speaker 1: thousand and two. He’ll be there along with Casey Wolfe.

82
00:04:10,080 –> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: There’ll be prizes to give away, and I really think

83
00:04:12,040 –> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: they’re giving away some tickets the next year’s home openers.

84
00:04:14,280 –> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: So that’s during the Super Bowl. Go watch the Super

85
00:04:17,000 –> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Bowl with some other Kingdom defenders and that’ll be at

86
00:04:19,360 –> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: Jay Rieger and Company Distillery. We are beyond blessed to

87
00:04:22,800 –> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: be here and to be able to attend a Super Bowl,

88
00:04:25,279 –> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: but part of me is so torn because to be

89
00:04:27,920 –> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: in Kansas City when the Chiefs win this game on

90
00:04:30,440 –> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Sunday will be absolutely electric, and especially at j Rieger

91
00:04:34,720 –> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: should be awesome. You know those pictures that we saw

92
00:04:38,200 –> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: from Super Bowl fifty four and power and light and

93
00:04:40,839 –> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: then all throughout the city. Here’s what’s interesting, though, when

94
00:04:43,520 –> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: people sync up our sound, like our sound was beating

95
00:04:46,600 –> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: the audio of the video and they would hear fireworks

96
00:04:49,800 –> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: go they’re watching the game, but then they’d hear the

97
00:04:51,400 –> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: pop poll ball go off and it was either a

98
00:04:53,360 –> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: touchdown or we won the game. Yeah, And so it

99
00:04:55,800 –> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: happened like a few minutes before so if you really

100
00:04:58,839 –> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: want to know in real time sync up. You could

101
00:05:00,960 –> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: sync up the video. This is tricky. You can do

102
00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: it and then just go to the Wolf Kansas City

103
00:05:05,760 –> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: on your laptop and you can sync it up and

104
00:05:07,680 –> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: you’ll beat your neighbors. You can blow up the Roman

105
00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: candles because you’ll know what’s happening before the rest of

106
00:05:12,920 –> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: the at least the Kansas City world will know. This

107
00:05:16,040 –> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: is where I’m mentally broken. There’s the NFL official stats site,

108
00:05:20,600 –> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: and before I would travel with the team, that would

109
00:05:22,800 –> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: be a half second ahead of the TV. So if

110
00:05:26,200 –> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to know what would happen, I could just

111
00:05:27,880 –> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: hit refresh and it would tell me. But oftentimes in

112
00:05:30,480 –> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: the press box when we’re actually at the games, there’s

113
00:05:32,640 –> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: a mental disconnect. We’re I’ll be refreshing that and it’s like, Matt,

114
00:05:36,120 –> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: the action is happening right in front of you, it’s

115
00:05:38,040 –> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: right here, and watching it in real time. I think

116
00:05:41,200 –> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: I’ll still be doing it on Sunday, Yeah, for sure,

117
00:05:43,760 –> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: But you are the Matt stat Let’s jump into this

118
00:05:45,960 –> 00:05:50,799
Speaker 1: game because the episode two was handle It, and really

119
00:05:50,920 –> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: last week in our episode one was talking about preparing

120
00:05:53,920 –> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: for this game and where we in Andy retrust of

121
00:05:57,760 –> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: handling that by week what it meant handling all of

122
00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: the distractions that come with this game for both the

123
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Eagles. That was the last episode. Now

124
00:06:06,720 –> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: it is time not to jump into this water behind us,

125
00:06:09,480 –> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: but it is to jump in to Super Bowl fifty

126
00:06:11,680 –> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: seven and get into the football weeds of this game

127
00:06:14,240 –> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: because there is so many interesting and very intriguing This

128
00:06:19,560 –> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: just looks like an epic game. But let’s start with

129
00:06:21,880 –> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia defense, because I think that’s where maybe the

130
00:06:25,800 –> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: side of the ball that’s getting the most attention for Philadelphia.

131
00:06:29,240 –> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: Their defensive front is reminiscent of the old seventies and

132
00:06:32,040 –> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: eighties defensive fronts, like the Purple People Eaters and those

133
00:06:35,080 –> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: Great Raiders fronts. They have double jigit sacks all across

134
00:06:38,560 –> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: the line. Fletcher Cox is close to that, but map

135
00:06:41,640 –> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: they have seventy eight sacks when you look at what

136
00:06:43,720 –> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: they did in the regular season and the postseason, that

137
00:06:46,480 –> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: has not happened in this league since the eighty five

138
00:06:49,920 –> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears, thought to be the best defensive team in

139
00:06:52,480 –> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL. Yeah, this game really is

140
00:06:54,760 –> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 1: all about the trenches, and every game truly is but

141
00:06:57,640 –> 00:07:00,359
Speaker 1: this game really in particular because this defensive of the

142
00:07:00,360 –> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: Eagles is legit. Seventy sacks in the regular season, that

143
00:07:03,800 –> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: was the most since the nineteen eighty nine vikings, and

144
00:07:06,720 –> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: as you said, it’s kind of all over the place.

145
00:07:08,480 –> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: They have four different players with at least eleven sacks

146
00:07:11,560 –> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: ian that doesn’t include Fletcher Cox, who’s widely considered a

147
00:07:14,640 –> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: top three defensive tackle in the NFL. So the Chief’s

148
00:07:18,400 –> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: offensive line I think is underrated coming into this game

149
00:07:21,760 –> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: because there’s so much talk about how good the Eagles

150
00:07:23,800 –> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: defensive front is. I think more people should talk about

151
00:07:25,960 –> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: how good the Chief’s offensive line is. But it’ll be

152
00:07:29,440 –> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: a great battle, and if the Chiefs can protect against

153
00:07:32,360 –> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: that great defensive front, that’s really where their keys to

154
00:07:35,240 –> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: victory begin in this game. So I’ve got to protect

155
00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. It will not be easy, but our guys

156
00:07:40,200 –> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: can do it. Yeah, let’s go there and stay there.

157
00:07:42,000 –> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: We love to play fantasy football, We love stats, but

158
00:07:45,600 –> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: football has always been about either taking the win that

159
00:07:48,240 –> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: you can hear here or dealing in the trenches. You

160
00:07:53,040 –> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: gotta win the trenches. But there’s some games where it’s

161
00:07:54,920 –> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: more paramount than usual, and this is just one of those.

162
00:07:57,640 –> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: But I talked with Eric b Enemy and coach read

163
00:07:59,640 –> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: about the earlier in the week. I honestly think the

164
00:08:02,960 –> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: Cincinnati game helped the offensive line for this game. Cincinnati’s

165
00:08:08,880 –> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: defensive front is really good. When you go down the

166
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: line and you look at Hubbard and Henrickson and Reader,

167
00:08:13,960 –> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: I don’t relieve anybody out there that’s a good deep

168
00:08:17,360 –> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: defensive line. And the Chiefs offensive line took the fight

169
00:08:20,520 –> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati. They’re gonna have to do the same to

170
00:08:23,400 –> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: this Philadelphia group. But you notice our offensive lineman aren’t

171
00:08:26,320 –> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: saying much. They’re just kind of staying in the shadows.

172
00:08:28,360 –> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: They’re doing their due diligence in the interviews. But your

173
00:08:31,720 –> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: point kind of triggered this thought in the fact that

174
00:08:34,880 –> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: this offensive line is ready to take on this great

175
00:08:38,320 –> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: defensive front of Philadelphia. They’re not intimidated by at all,

176
00:08:41,800 –> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: and they want to take the blow to them. Yeah,

177
00:08:43,720 –> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: that’s a really good point. I don’t think Cincinnati got

178
00:08:45,960 –> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: nearly enough credit for how good their defensive line was.

179
00:08:48,360 –> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: I think that’s one of the reasons the Cincinnati defense

180
00:08:51,000 –> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: was so good this season and has been for the

181
00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years under lou and Rimo. It begins

182
00:08:55,240 –> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: with their defensive front, and they didn’t have the sack numbers,

183
00:08:58,280 –> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: but still, I mean, I think that defensive front it’s

184
00:09:00,200 –> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: top five defensive front and all of football, and it

185
00:09:02,559 –> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: did really prepare our guys for the challenge that they’re

186
00:09:05,120 –> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: going to have on Sunday against the Eagles. Just because

187
00:09:07,840 –> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles have all the sacks doesn’t necessarily mean their

188
00:09:10,920 –> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: league’s better than the Cincinnati defensive front. And football again

189
00:09:15,360 –> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: is won in the trenches, and the Chiefs did bring

190
00:09:17,280 –> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: the fight to the Bengals throughout the AFC Tattle game.

191
00:09:19,880 –> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: They have to do that in this game. And I

192
00:09:21,640 –> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: think it really begins with running the football. And I

193
00:09:24,400 –> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: know we talk about this a lot, and the Chiefs

194
00:09:26,040 –> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: are a pass first team. We all know that, but

195
00:09:28,800 –> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: with how Isaia Pacheco and Jerk McKinnon have been running

196
00:09:31,440 –> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: the ball the second half of the season, if you

197
00:09:33,520 –> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: can give it the Chief’s offensive line an opportunity to

198
00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: set the tone early in the game, to get some

199
00:09:38,160 –> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: push on that Eagles defensive front and don’t allow the

200
00:09:40,840 –> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 1: Eagles to pen their ears back and just pass rush

201
00:09:43,360 –> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 1: every single snap, I think that would be a huge

202
00:09:45,360 –> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: advantage for the Chiefs. So if the run game can

203
00:09:47,160 –> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: get going early Isaia Pacheco, we know how hard he runs.

204
00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: If he can get some big runs early in this game,

205
00:09:52,559 –> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: and it doesn’t even have to be a twenty yard run,

206
00:09:54,640 –> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: just four yards here, five yards there, six yards here,

207
00:09:57,720 –> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I think that would go a long way and kind

208
00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: of establish talent early on against the very talented Eagles

209
00:10:02,760 –> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: defensive front. This is going to sound like an offensive comment.

210
00:10:06,080 –> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: We’re gonna get to Phillies offense here in a second,

211
00:10:08,960 –> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: but let’s go to Phillis defense and stay on this

212
00:10:11,120 –> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: thought and the fact that they’re very similar to Cincinnati.

213
00:10:14,000 –> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: Think of a prize fight and a boxer that comes

214
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: out in the first two or three rounds. It’s interesting.

215
00:10:19,679 –> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: So my wife does guns and hoses right the fundraiser

216
00:10:22,559 –> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: for the kan City Metropolitan Crime Commission with the firefighters

217
00:10:25,200 –> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: fight the police and they ring the bell and they

218
00:10:26,880 –> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: come out and they’re just wailing on each other for

219
00:10:28,920 –> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: thirty seconds and they’ve collapsed right after that. But Philadelphia

220
00:10:32,679 –> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: and Cincinnatia something in common is they want to knock

221
00:10:35,120 –> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: you out early. They want to play downhill. Now offensively,

222
00:10:38,920 –> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: I’ll get to this more, but they’re number one in

223
00:10:41,280 –> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: the league and points scored on their first offensive position.

224
00:10:44,200 –> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: But this defense wants to play downhill as well. A

225
00:10:47,000 –> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: lot of those sack numbers come from they’re ahead and

226
00:10:50,160 –> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: the other team has got to throw and there is

227
00:10:52,360 –> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: some knowledge of what the offense is going to do.

228
00:10:55,559 –> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: This defense wants to knock you out Philadelphia’s defense, and

229
00:10:58,480 –> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: they want to do it early in the game. Really,

230
00:11:00,320 –> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: the entire way the Eagles roster is designed is they

231
00:11:03,880 –> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: are built to play from ahead and to maintain that lead.

232
00:11:07,360 –> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: And that kind of fits in with what you’re saying,

233
00:11:09,040 –> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: because if they can get an early lead with the

234
00:11:11,240 –> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: way they play offensively as well, and we’ll talk about

235
00:11:13,520 –> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: that later, but with how they run the ball offensively

236
00:11:16,040 –> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: and then their pass rush defensively, if they know you

237
00:11:18,160 –> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: have to pass to keep up with them, that really

238
00:11:20,240 –> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: plays into their hands. The Chiefs did not play into

239
00:11:22,920 –> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: the Bengals hands in the AFC Tattle game. Even though

240
00:11:25,559 –> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs didn’t finish in the red zone early in

241
00:11:28,080 –> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: that game, the fact that they had a lead in

242
00:11:29,840 –> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: the first quarter put pressure on Cincinnati and the Bengals

243
00:11:33,360 –> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: never really recovered. They stuck around, but the Bengals never

244
00:11:35,960 –> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: had a lead in that game. So that’s how the

245
00:11:37,840 –> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: Bengals want to play football. That’s how the Eagles want

246
00:11:39,679 –> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: to play football as well. And even if the Chiefs

247
00:11:41,920 –> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: aren’t lighting up the scoreboard early on, if they can

248
00:11:44,720 –> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: keep that pressure on the Eagles, if they can get

249
00:11:47,120 –> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: a three point lead, a ten point lead early on,

250
00:11:49,360 –> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: that’s really not how Philadelphia wants to play football. And frankly,

251
00:11:52,480 –> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles haven’t had to do that much at all

252
00:11:54,080 –> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: this year. They haven’t been tested in that way much

253
00:11:56,320 –> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: this year. So it’s so important for the Chiefs to

254
00:11:58,920 –> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: start fast this game because the Eagles that’s their bread

255
00:12:01,760 –> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: and butter. Yeah, this may be an offseason episode of

256
00:12:05,120 –> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom talking about the psychology of the NFL.

257
00:12:09,320 –> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: In your points, a really good one. Even though it

258
00:12:11,679 –> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: was a three to nothing lead, Psychologically that was a

259
00:12:14,960 –> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 1: big advantage for the Chiefs and one that challenged the

260
00:12:17,320 –> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: Bengals because they had been ahead fourteen nothing, ten to nothing,

261
00:12:21,160 –> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: ten to three at the end of first quarters. They

262
00:12:23,440 –> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 1: had Cincinnati had not allowed a touchdown in thirteen straight

263
00:12:27,760 –> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: first quarters, and yet they trailed three to nothing. Big

264
00:12:31,000 –> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: psychological advantage. This game feels similar to me in that

265
00:12:34,960 –> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: the intensity of the game starts with the first snap.

266
00:12:37,280 –> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: You don’t wait till the fourth quarter. Now, I’m gonna

267
00:12:39,440 –> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: ask you about the Philadelphia secondary. We look at this

268
00:12:41,559 –> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs team that had to be resourceful and that Cincinnati

269
00:12:44,559 –> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: win in the AFC Championship game. We kind of talked

270
00:12:46,800 –> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: about that last week. Guys stepping up. Now it looks

271
00:12:49,920 –> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs will be close other than McCole hardman

272
00:12:52,559 –> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 1: to having all hands on deck. That being said, these

273
00:12:55,640 –> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: corners for Philadelphia deserve mentioned. We’ve seen Darius Slay. We

274
00:12:59,360 –> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: saw him when he a Detroit Lion. We signed last year.

275
00:13:02,520 –> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: When we played Philadelphia in the game where Andy Reid

276
00:13:05,360 –> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: got his one hundredth win and had one hundred wins

277
00:13:07,920 –> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: with two franchises, people are kind of forget about that game.

278
00:13:10,559 –> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: But then they go get James Bradbury from the New

279
00:13:12,760 –> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: York Giants, who this year had twenty passes or if

280
00:13:16,480 –> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: twenty incompletions credited his way. He was really rated as

281
00:13:19,720 –> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: one of the top corners in the league. So let’s

282
00:13:21,679 –> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: look at these corners at what the Chiefs can do

283
00:13:23,840 –> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: to try to handle them well. The defense works together

284
00:13:26,600 –> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: right at a defense and a secondary is only as

285
00:13:28,480 –> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: good as their pass rush typically, and we’re seeing that

286
00:13:30,640 –> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. It certainly helps that secondary that their

287
00:13:33,120 –> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: pass rush is so prolific. But you’re right, whenever they’ve

288
00:13:35,720 –> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: been on an island, they’ve been really good this season.

289
00:13:37,480 –> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: Those are two veteran corners that know how to play

290
00:13:39,920 –> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: good football and play four quarters of football. What’s so

291
00:13:43,040 –> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: intriguing about the Chiefs offense, though, is they’ve totally remade

292
00:13:46,040 –> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: themselves over the last year and a half. Why I

293
00:13:48,520 –> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: really think they can find some advantages over the middle

294
00:13:51,679 –> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: of the field and in the short passing game against

295
00:13:53,840 –> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: this Eagles defense. And we’ve seen that all year long

296
00:13:56,240 –> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: from our guys, guys like Juju, Smith, Schuster, Kadarias, Tony’s

297
00:13:59,160 –> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: part of that now, Travis Kelsey of course, and sky

298
00:14:02,360 –> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: More I think can be involved in that as well.

299
00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: You utilize that short passing game and then you let

300
00:14:06,880 –> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: guys like Juju and Darius do things after the catch

301
00:14:09,520 –> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: and challenge these Eagles defensive backs. The key is getting

302
00:14:12,960 –> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: the ball out quickly so that pass rush can’t get

303
00:14:15,160 –> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: home to Patrick Mahomes. If you can get the ball

304
00:14:17,240 –> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: out quickly on those short routes over the middle or

305
00:14:19,360 –> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: wherever it may be, and let your receivers do some

306
00:14:22,080 –> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: work after the fact. I think they can find success

307
00:14:24,280 –> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: doing that. But this is a very talented group and frankly,

308
00:14:26,880 –> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: there’s only no weaknesses on this Eagles defense. I’ve been

309
00:14:29,680 –> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: on national international shows all week long. Yesterday on Radio ROW,

310
00:14:33,040 –> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: I was with the San Francisco flagship station and the

311
00:14:36,160 –> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: voice of the forty nine Ers. And one thing about

312
00:14:40,440 –> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: the genius of Andy Reid is he’s taught me over

313
00:14:43,320 –> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: the years how you can block guys without blocking guys.

314
00:14:46,040 –> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Think about the great speed rushers we’ve played this year,

315
00:14:48,400 –> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: including brother Boso, the forty nine Ers. We have the

316
00:14:51,440 –> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: same discussion and they mentioned before I even mentioned it.

317
00:14:55,480 –> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: They go, yeah, you’ve blocked us without blocking us. Remember

318
00:14:58,440 –> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: the touchdown right under the armpit of Bosa against the

319
00:15:01,640 –> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers in San Francisco. So, Andy Reid, it’s

320
00:15:05,480 –> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: blocking schemes, but it’s also doing shifts in motions, misdirection

321
00:15:11,000 –> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: to make those pass rushers of Philadelphia have a lot

322
00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: on their plate instead of just pinning their ears back

323
00:15:15,920 –> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: and coming after the quarterback. Andy Reid right now in

324
00:15:18,960 –> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League is the mastermind I think of

325
00:15:23,000 –> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: blocking elite rushers without blocking them at all absolutely think

326
00:15:27,720 –> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: about Jerk McKinnon and the screen game. How many times

327
00:15:30,160 –> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: have we seen him break off a huge game when

328
00:15:32,440 –> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: the pass rush is pinning their ears back. You can’t

329
00:15:35,080 –> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: do that against the Chiefs because McKinnon is so lethal

330
00:15:38,040 –> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: in that screen game. Talking about Bosa. The Chiefs went

331
00:15:40,960 –> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: right at Bosa in that screen game in San Francisco

332
00:15:43,520 –> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: several weeks ago earlier this season, and I keep thinking

333
00:15:46,960 –> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: if there has to be a sneaky MVP, like if

334
00:15:49,040 –> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: it’s not Patrick Mahomes or Chris Jones or Travis Kelsey,

335
00:15:51,440 –> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: who is the MVP potentially in this game. I really

336
00:15:54,320 –> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: think Jerk McKinnon could be that guy. Because when you

337
00:15:57,000 –> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: have such a great speed rusher and Hassan Reddick on

338
00:15:59,560 –> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: the Eagle, who has like seventeen sacks this season, if

339
00:16:02,720 –> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: he’s coming at you for the ball right over his

340
00:16:04,720 –> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: head to Jerk McKinnon and Jerk breaks off a fifteen

341
00:16:07,200 –> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: yard run through the air, that’s very demoralizing for any defense.

342
00:16:11,080 –> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: And it reminds me last season when we were playing

343
00:16:13,720 –> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders in Vegas, they had a Yannick and Gockway

344
00:16:17,400 –> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: and Max Crosby this great pass rush that was a

345
00:16:19,560 –> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: huge game for the Chiefs in the middle of the

346
00:16:20,960 –> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: season that they had to win. And if the Raiders

347
00:16:23,040 –> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: won that game, I believe they would have been in

348
00:16:24,560 –> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: first place in the division. And over and over again,

349
00:16:27,560 –> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: quick screens over the top. Max Crosby’s right there turning

350
00:16:30,440 –> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: around and Travis Kelsey’s caught a two yard passed through

351
00:16:33,200 –> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: the year that goes for fifteen yards. So that kind

352
00:16:35,640 –> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: of game plan I really think could work against this

353
00:16:37,480 –> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: defensive front of the Eagles. And just like my thoughts

354
00:16:39,920 –> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: on how the running game could work against these guys,

355
00:16:42,080 –> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: that screen game is just as effective. Think about the

356
00:16:44,720 –> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: pass rushers that have lived in the AFC West in

357
00:16:47,600 –> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: the five years that Patrick Mahomes has been the starter. Yeah,

358
00:16:50,360 –> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean you’re looking von Miller who was still cooking

359
00:16:52,600 –> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: it right, he was doing great, Chubb who was awesome.

360
00:16:55,800 –> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Raiders rushers. You look at what the

361
00:16:58,560 –> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: Chargers have done. You know the other Bosa and Khalil

362
00:17:02,240 –> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: Mack been in this division, back in this division. So

363
00:17:05,840 –> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: this is a team, this Chiefs team has had to

364
00:17:07,840 –> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: face some of the best pass rushers in the National

365
00:17:11,080 –> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: Football League of the span in the last five years.

366
00:17:13,160 –> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: San Jones. This season, it’s so it’s it’s something, and

367
00:17:17,680 –> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: I think that has prepared the Chiefs for this game.

368
00:17:19,480 –> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: Although it’s not to disrespect the Philadelphia defense at all.

369
00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: This is a very good defense. This Philadelphia team is

370
00:17:26,040 –> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: what I thought of Cincinnati. There’s no weakness in the Eagles.

371
00:17:29,359 –> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: There was no weakness at all, I think in the

372
00:17:31,840 –> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Now let’s flip it over the other side.

373
00:17:34,040 –> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: Other than have you sensed from Patrick because I’ve sensed

374
00:17:37,000 –> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: this too that I don’t know if it’s the Super

375
00:17:40,119 –> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty five or it’s all this. Like I said

376
00:17:42,359 –> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the Cincinnati game, you know, you

377
00:17:44,560 –> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: can dislike his disrespect as doubt as I’m getting. Patrick’s

378
00:17:49,080 –> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: got that look in his eye. Yeah, don’t you sense that? Absolutely?

379
00:17:52,920 –> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: Like he is he’s always locked in, but it’s like, wow,

380
00:17:55,800 –> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: he’s looking through me and looking past. Where’s he looking? Right?

381
00:17:58,880 –> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: It’s the Superman conceive five miles past year. But that’s

382
00:18:03,480 –> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: what I sense from him and from a lot of

383
00:18:05,640 –> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: these guys. So I think they’re ready to go here.

384
00:18:08,320 –> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: Now let’s flip it over the other side. And that

385
00:18:10,440 –> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: is the Philadelphia offense. Very intriguing group to look at

386
00:18:13,600 –> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: as well. It is their run game. If you look

387
00:18:16,119 –> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: at the stats of this team, it is their run game.

388
00:18:21,040 –> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: They are the NFC version of the Baltimore Ravens to me,

389
00:18:25,760 –> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: and how they commit to the run, how they run it,

390
00:18:28,400 –> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: and how creative they are in the run game. They’re

391
00:18:30,400 –> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: an interesting study because they throw the football well. They

392
00:18:33,280 –> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: have two of the best receivers in the NFL and

393
00:18:35,720 –> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: A J. Brown and DeVante Smith very good tight end,

394
00:18:38,160 –> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: and Dallas Goddard, and they actually have the second most

395
00:18:40,720 –> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: passes of twenty five or more yards in the NFL,

396
00:18:43,359 –> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: behind only the Kansas City Chiefs. So they throw the

397
00:18:45,760 –> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: football very well. But everything with this team begins with

398
00:18:49,760 –> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: the rushing attack. And you can kind of say that

399
00:18:51,800 –> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: about some teams, right like, oh, you have to establish

400
00:18:54,320 –> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: the run. It’s very true with these guys because if

401
00:18:57,400 –> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: you look at what they’ve done this season, they have

402
00:18:59,320 –> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty four rushing attempts, that was third

403
00:19:02,080 –> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: most of any team in the NFL. And they averaged

404
00:19:05,040 –> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty rushing yards per game that was

405
00:19:07,400 –> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 1: the fifth most in the NFL. And it comes from everywhere.

406
00:19:10,520 –> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: They don’t have just like one guy like like Derrick

407
00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: Henry for example, on the Titans. Derreck Henry is their

408
00:19:15,560 –> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: rushing attack, right. That’s not the case with the Eagles

409
00:19:18,359 –> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: and the Ravens are a good comparison because it comes

410
00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: from everyone with them as well. You have Miles Sanders

411
00:19:23,240 –> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: on this team at running back, has more than twelve

412
00:19:24,960 –> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: hundred yards on the ground. Several other running backs that

413
00:19:27,960 –> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: they sprinkle in there that are all also pretty good.

414
00:19:30,200 –> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: But then Jalen Hurts what he can do on the ground.

415
00:19:32,520 –> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: Their rpo game is so lethal because when he’s handing

416
00:19:35,960 –> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: the ball right here, he can take it himself and

417
00:19:38,840 –> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: he can run for fifteen yards, or he can give

418
00:19:40,640 –> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: it to Miles Sanders or whoever else is back there

419
00:19:42,720 –> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: and they can run as well. He’s so dangerous in

420
00:19:45,480 –> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: this offense. He had more than three seven hundred passing

421
00:19:48,840 –> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: yards and seven hundred rushing yards this season. He’s one

422
00:19:51,880 –> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: of only four quarterbacks in NFL history to have more

423
00:19:54,640 –> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: than thirty five hundred passing yards and seven hundred rushing yards.

424
00:19:58,160 –> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: And he’s the only one of that group that includes

425
00:20:00,560 –> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, cam Newton, I’m forgetting who the other one was,

426
00:20:04,000 –> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: but and Kyler Murray who had a passer rating over

427
00:20:07,480 –> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: one hundred. So this guy is awesome. He’s very good

428
00:20:10,359 –> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 1: at throwing the football. But everything begins with their rushing attack.

429
00:20:13,400 –> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: And if you can stop the run, it’s a big task.

430
00:20:15,119 –> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: But if you can stop the run really makes things

431
00:20:17,520 –> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: tougher on this offense. And if you want to grind

432
00:20:19,560 –> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: a little further, when you look at the Philadelphia Eagle

433
00:20:22,080 –> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: rushing attack, So Hurt’s fifteen touchdowns for Hurts this year,

434
00:20:25,640 –> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: counting the playoffs, that’s the most by any quarterback in

435
00:20:28,760 –> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: NFL history. All Right, So the productivity is there. Any

436
00:20:32,600 –> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: quarterback run offense is different because usually one guy’s handing off.

437
00:20:36,600 –> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: I talk to Colin Saunders about this. Today you’re playing

438
00:20:39,320 –> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: eleven defenders against ten guys. The quarterbacks not involved. He’s

439
00:20:42,600 –> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: handed offer, he’s throwing. In the run game, you have

440
00:20:45,200 –> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: ten blocking eleven and the eleventh is running it and

441
00:20:48,880 –> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: run based offense. The gy Lamar Jackson doing the same thing.

442
00:20:51,960 –> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: But here’s where Philadelphia I think is very unique and

443
00:20:54,720 –> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: I think that they are the best at doing it.

444
00:20:56,920 –> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned the RPO game. It looks the same if

445
00:21:00,960 –> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: you watch the video and watch it closely, it looks

446
00:21:04,200 –> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: like the same because the backs and hearts may be

447
00:21:06,600 –> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: going to the same spot, but they might block what

448
00:21:09,240 –> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: looks the same five or six different ways. And then

449
00:21:12,240 –> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: talking with our defensive linemen this week, this is where

450
00:21:15,280 –> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey is so important for them. They will call

451
00:21:18,800 –> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: run audibles like most team will call pass audibles. You

452
00:21:22,320 –> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: think your keys are there, Oh, it’s this formation and

453
00:21:24,880 –> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: this thought, and then based on where you align, the

454
00:21:28,320 –> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: Eagles will call a very creative run audible. So they’re

455
00:21:31,760 –> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: run blocking. It’s very similar in colleges when you play

456
00:21:34,520 –> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: the Service Academies. Yeah, and you’re playing Army and you’re

457
00:21:37,320 –> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: playing air Force, and it looks like, oh, that’s the

458
00:21:38,840 –> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 1: same run. How can they run it? No, they’re blocking

459
00:21:41,040 –> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: it six different ways. And I’m gonna give Phil it

460
00:21:44,080 –> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: off your credit. I asked coach Read about this too,

461
00:21:46,880 –> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: just how creative they are in their RPO game and

462
00:21:50,800 –> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: how it’s way past the naked eye, and how good

463
00:21:53,440 –> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: they are in creating plays and creating big plays. You

464
00:21:56,280 –> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: and I are big fans of the game End a

465
00:21:58,400 –> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: Football fourteen pop it on our Xbox three sixties. Yeah

466
00:22:05,119 –> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: they are, but I mean rans the original game is

467
00:22:08,320 –> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: still so much fun, and you run like the read

468
00:22:11,320 –> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: option in that you know, and it’s you just read

469
00:22:14,000 –> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: the defensive end and you hold on to a if

470
00:22:16,720 –> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: they were handed off, or you can run. And that’s

471
00:22:19,080 –> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: what Jalen Hurts is so good at doing. You can

472
00:22:20,920 –> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: read the defensive line so well, and it’s so tough

473
00:22:23,560 –> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: to defend. You have to stay disciplined. If you’re the

474
00:22:26,160 –> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense, you have to know what Jalen Hurts can do. Fortunately,

475
00:22:29,760 –> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have so much speed at defense, and I

476
00:22:32,080 –> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: think they’re so well prepared personnel wise this season to

477
00:22:35,760 –> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: play a team like Philadelphia, maybe better than they have

478
00:22:38,640 –> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: in the past because of their speed at the second

479
00:22:40,640 –> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: and third level and the athleticist when they have at

480
00:22:42,600 –> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: linebacker and in the secondary to deal with a guy

481
00:22:45,200 –> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: like Jalen Hurts and all his weapons on this offense,

482
00:22:48,720 –> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: it’s kind of in a lot of ways similar to

483
00:22:50,440 –> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers and Super Bowl fifty four, except

484
00:22:53,320 –> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: they have a way more athletic quarterback than Joe and

485
00:22:55,280 –> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: Hurts compared to Jimmy Garoppolo. No shade to Jimmy Garoppolo,

486
00:22:58,160 –> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: but Jalen Hurts is a much better athlete. But the

487
00:23:00,760 –> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers ran that lateral rushing attack right with

488
00:23:03,640 –> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 1: Diebo Samuel and Rahee Mostard and all those guys. It

489
00:23:06,280 –> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: was very difficult to defend, but the Chiefs found a way.

490
00:23:09,080 –> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: I loved the Chief’s defensive game plan two weeks ago

491
00:23:12,000 –> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati. We’ll need another great game plan here. I

492
00:23:14,880 –> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: know they can do it, but it all begins upfront

493
00:23:17,200 –> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: with their defensive line. They have to get penetration early

494
00:23:19,640 –> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: and often in this game, and they have to remain discipline.

495
00:23:22,720 –> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: Remain discipline because Philadelphia is so good at blocking where

496
00:23:27,520 –> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: you go. They’ll take you where they want you to

497
00:23:29,480 –> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: go and then knock you out of there. And you

498
00:23:31,320 –> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: can overrun the play. Miles Sanders, you mentioned him, We

499
00:23:34,960 –> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: can go, I mean down the line here. Gainwell’s good,

500
00:23:37,600 –> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Scott’s good. But if you overrun a play, they’re going

501
00:23:40,800 –> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: to hit you on the back side, and now you’ve

502
00:23:42,320 –> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: got a real problem. Or if you overrun the RPO,

503
00:23:45,080 –> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: Hurts will get you on the back side, and now

504
00:23:47,119 –> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: you’ve got a bigger problem. So the defensive line, which

505
00:23:50,520 –> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: I think has done a great job this year, and

506
00:23:52,520 –> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: it’s Chris Jones for sure, and he’s because he’s had

507
00:23:55,280 –> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: an Aaron Donald’s type year. But it’s all those guys

508
00:23:57,960 –> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: we mentioned, Carlos Dunlap, and the impact he’s head in

509
00:24:00,520 –> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 1: this kind of game because he is so disciplined in

510
00:24:03,280 –> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: what he does. Karloftis has learned and grown, Mike dan

511
00:24:06,320 –> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: is under rated, Colin Saunders having the year of his life.

512
00:24:08,880 –> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: Derek Natty has always been a highly rated run stuffer.

513
00:24:11,800 –> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: It’s going to take all of those guys across the

514
00:24:13,880 –> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: board in this game to remain discipline. As I’m glad

515
00:24:16,920 –> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned, and what I love about this matchup and

516
00:24:19,119 –> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: where our guys are at mentally right now. As you

517
00:24:21,040 –> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: mentioned how locked in Patrick Mahomes is, which is true,

518
00:24:23,920 –> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: as locked in as he always is. I don’t think

519
00:24:25,480 –> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: I’ve ever seen him as locked in as he currently is.

520
00:24:27,760 –> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: But the same goes for our defensive line, and that’s

521
00:24:30,400 –> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 1: really been throughout the playoffs, but particularly going into that

522
00:24:33,200 –> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: Bengals game. This defensive line was as locked in as

523
00:24:35,760 –> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: I have ever seen them, and that’s carried over here

524
00:24:38,480 –> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: into this week. They all are just so ready to

525
00:24:40,840 –> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: go and hungry to show what they can do because

526
00:24:42,840 –> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: I think they felt disrespected really throughout this entire season.

527
00:24:46,240 –> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: People don’t think they can get it done outside of

528
00:24:48,119 –> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, and we know they can. They showed they

529
00:24:50,280 –> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: can against the Bengals, and they’re eager to show they

530
00:24:52,400 –> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: can do the same against a very good offensive line

531
00:24:54,240 –> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: and a very good offense in Philadelphia. But our guys

532
00:24:57,080 –> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: are ready. Yeah. By the way, if you were intrigued

533
00:24:59,520 –> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: by the whole college football fourteen discussion video game, didn’t

534
00:25:03,119 –> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: you take? How far did you get in Georgia State?

535
00:25:04,960 –> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: Who won a national title? I play on like varsity

536
00:25:07,640 –> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 1: that he won a national championship at Georgia State. You

537
00:25:11,760 –> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: know this because I did have COVID in the summertime.

538
00:25:14,720 –> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: What did I do? How do you get over COVID?

539
00:25:16,640 –> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: You play the entire Washington skate schedule, You win the

540
00:25:19,920 –> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: Pac twelve, You beat Utah in the Pac twelve championship game.

541
00:25:23,359 –> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: I did lose to Penn State in the Rose Bowl,

542
00:25:25,480 –> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: but go coogs. I was on Seattle radio yesterday. There

543
00:25:28,920 –> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: was like a Washington State guy in there. We talked

544
00:25:30,560 –> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: about Jalen Watson, and I said, you guys know I

545
00:25:32,800 –> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: won the Rose Bowl as your coach. Yeah, didn’t win

546
00:25:35,320 –> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. I won the Pac twelve as your

547
00:25:36,760 –> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: coach playing college football fourteen. He goes, Man, You’re like,

548
00:25:39,480 –> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: you’re weird. So it’s so great because in the summertime,

549
00:25:42,880 –> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: Mitch is all cooped up and he’s texting me, and

550
00:25:45,480 –> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: he plays like on Heisman, which I serious respects some opponents.

551
00:25:48,840 –> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: I make it realistic idea, which if I’m playing sc

552
00:25:51,760 –> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: in the coliseum, I’m playing Heisman. Yeah, and it’s great.

553
00:25:54,359 –> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: And he’ll walk me through like he’ll give me a

554
00:25:56,600 –> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: full play by play of everything that happened. And you

555
00:25:59,359 –> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: have the player in ames on there so you know

556
00:26:00,840 –> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: who they are. It’s like River Crai Craft. Oh yeah,

557
00:26:03,640 –> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: and when I see him in the league now, I

558
00:26:05,359 –> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: always think about you. Yeah, yeah, Craft, River Cracraft. One

559
00:26:08,960 –> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 1: day as a chief, you’ll lose your mind. You’re gonna

560
00:26:10,920 –> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: make me emotional talking about River Cracraft and what he

561
00:26:14,000 –> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: did running over routes to win the Pac twelve and

562
00:26:18,200 –> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: get to the Rose Bowl. All right, back on track.

563
00:26:20,000 –> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: Elimitate distractions, right if they set down a college football

564
00:26:23,760 –> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: fourteen in front of us. Right now, we’ve have distractions. Sure,

565
00:26:26,920 –> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: but let’s get let’s stay focused here on this Philadelphia

566
00:26:29,880 –> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: offense because another part we’ll close out this way. I

567
00:26:32,320 –> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 1: want to touch on special teams, but they do take shots.

568
00:26:36,200 –> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: We talk about him running the ball creatively in the

569
00:26:38,440 –> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: RPO game, the fact that they’re so good running the ball.

570
00:26:41,119 –> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: Really the NFL’s best rushing team this year. They will

571
00:26:44,040 –> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: take their shots. The trade of A. J. Brown was

572
00:26:46,960 –> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: profound for them. They knew what they were doing. It

573
00:26:49,440 –> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: was expensive, but they took him and got him. But

574
00:26:51,480 –> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: when you look at him and DeVante Smith and others,

575
00:26:53,800 –> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: but those two primarily early, early, early, I keep hearing

576
00:26:56,960 –> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 1: from our coaches early, early, early, they love to take

577
00:26:59,400 –> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: shots down the field of those guys. And think of

578
00:27:01,520 –> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine er game. It should have been an

579
00:27:03,200 –> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: incompletion if it would have been challenged, but DeVante Smith’s

580
00:27:06,520 –> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: big catch early near the boundary set the tone for

581
00:27:09,080 –> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: that game. So my comparison here is not about scheme.

582
00:27:12,320 –> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: It’s about their eagerness to surround their quarterback with talent.

583
00:27:15,920 –> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 1: This team reminds me so much of the twenty eighteen

584
00:27:18,640 –> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in terms of the job Brett Veach

585
00:27:21,400 –> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: did to surround Patrick Mahomes with talent early in his career.

586
00:27:24,200 –> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman has done the same thing in Philadelphia, where

587
00:27:26,680 –> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: they wanted to see what they had and Jalen Hurts

588
00:27:29,359 –> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: and instead of saying all right, let’s roll him out

589
00:27:31,400 –> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: there with whoever we got and see how he does.

590
00:27:33,560 –> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: They said, let’s surround him with all the talent we

591
00:27:35,800 –> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: possibly can, and let’s see how he does. And he’s

592
00:27:38,560 –> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: thrived with that. They drafted his college teammate and DeVante

593
00:27:41,440 –> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: Smith then pulled off a huge trade to get A. J.

594
00:27:43,520 –> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: Brown to Philadelphia, and he’s been great with all these

595
00:27:46,560 –> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: great receivers, and it says a lot about that team

596
00:27:49,600 –> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: that they invested in Jalen and found a way to

597
00:27:52,040 –> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: surround him with great talent, and Brown responded with the

598
00:27:55,160 –> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: best season of his career. Now, Brown in recent seasons

599
00:27:58,520 –> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: when he was a Titan gave the Chiefs problems. We

600
00:28:01,440 –> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about this. I think the

601
00:28:03,480 –> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs are much better equipped to play against a J.

602
00:28:06,200 –> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: Brown this time around than maybe we were in the

603
00:28:08,320 –> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: past because we have so much size, athleticism and height

604
00:28:11,840 –> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: at corner Nowadays, it’s very difficult to defend a J.

605
00:28:14,560 –> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: Brown with shorter corners. But the Chiefs invested in guys

606
00:28:18,200 –> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: like jale and Watson, Joshua Williams, bigger corners who can

607
00:28:22,040 –> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: compete with a guy like that, and Trim McDuffie, even

608
00:28:24,680 –> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: though he’s not six foot three, he plays much taller

609
00:28:27,040 –> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: than he actually is, and Legarius Snead as well, who’s

610
00:28:29,760 –> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: six foot one, I believe. So all that height at

611
00:28:31,880 –> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: corner and that physicality at the Chiefs Havoc corner, and

612
00:28:34,520 –> 00:28:36,639
Speaker 1: we’ve seen that throughout this postseason run from all of

613
00:28:36,640 –> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: our young corners. They’re Brian cooking there as well as

614
00:28:38,840 –> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: safety than one Thornhill and Justin Reid. I think they’re

615
00:28:41,760 –> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: better equipped personnel wise to handle a guy like a J. Brown.

616
00:28:45,080 –> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: They has got to go out there and do it. Yeah,

617
00:28:46,600 –> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: I’m glad you and you mentioned it parenthetically, but that

618
00:28:48,760 –> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: the physical nature of the Chiefs safeties comes in to

619
00:28:51,760 –> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: play against these guys too. But against the run. We

620
00:28:53,640 –> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: didn’t mention the linebackers, but Nick Bolton, Willie Gay Junior

621
00:28:56,560 –> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: right down the line, Darius Harris Chanal, all those guys

622
00:28:59,120 –> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: are gonna have to have big games and they have

623
00:29:00,720 –> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: to stay disciplined as well. And I think Willy Gain

624
00:29:02,680 –> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways is the key to this game.

625
00:29:04,320 –> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: There’s a there’s a big play waiting from Willigay Junior

626
00:29:06,760 –> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: in this game and from Trent McDuffie. I’m just gonna

627
00:29:08,720 –> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: put it out there, Trum mcduffey’s gonna make an explosive play,

628
00:29:11,440 –> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: and I’m with you with Williga Junior, but throwing Cook Thornhill,

629
00:29:14,720 –> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: I’m excited for him to play this game. He was

630
00:29:17,600 –> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: after when we were won Super Bowl fifty four and

631
00:29:20,160 –> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: there’s this euphoric state, as you know, in the locker

632
00:29:22,240 –> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: room and one was loving it. But he was just

633
00:29:24,720 –> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: back against this locker He was subdued because he got

634
00:29:27,440 –> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: hurt in the final play of the regular season that year,

635
00:29:29,560 –> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: missed that run to the Super Bowl fifty four, and

636
00:29:31,960 –> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: he was saying, I just want to do this where

637
00:29:34,160 –> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: I can be a part of it, where I helped it.

638
00:29:36,840 –> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: And he was not being selfish, but I knew where

639
00:29:39,520 –> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: he was feeling. Yeah, and I’ve talked about him several times. Now, dude,

640
00:29:42,400 –> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: you’re back. You will get a chance to win this

641
00:29:45,120 –> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: game and help be a part of this. So for

642
00:29:47,600 –> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 1: a one Thornhill, do you get a do over in

643
00:29:50,720 –> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: the NFL? And his case, he is how often does

644
00:29:53,080 –> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: that happen? Not often? I mean that’s just the reality

645
00:29:55,360 –> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: of the National Football League and a good reminder for

646
00:29:57,840 –> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: all of us as chiefs fans that to go to

647
00:29:59,560 –> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: the Super three times in four years is not normal

648
00:30:03,000 –> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: at all. Think about a guy like Dan Marino early

649
00:30:05,320 –> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: in his career, lost a Super Bowl. Oh he’ll be back, right,

650
00:30:08,160 –> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: was never back. And that’s what’s so amazing about this team.

651
00:30:11,040 –> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: And I bang this drum every single time we talk

652
00:30:13,080 –> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: about this. This team fought through so much to get

653
00:30:16,720 –> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: back to this moment, and it says so much about

654
00:30:18,600 –> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: them because it would be so easy to come up

655
00:30:20,960 –> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: short in Super Bowl fifty five, or for wan Thornhill

656
00:30:24,200 –> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: but have his shot, but he was injured, couldn’t make it,

657
00:30:26,160 –> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: he never makes it back. Or the Chiefs in the

658
00:30:28,080 –> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: AFC Tattle game last year, they come up short, they

659
00:30:30,360 –> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: were so close, they never make it back. All of

660
00:30:32,520 –> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: that’s thrown out with this team, and it takes the

661
00:30:34,840 –> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: certain culture we have here, the resiliency of our guys,

662
00:30:38,000 –> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: to find a way back to this moment. And that’s

663
00:30:40,520 –> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: why I’m so excited for this game, because these guys

664
00:30:42,920 –> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: know how hard it was to get here and they’re

665
00:30:44,840 –> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: not going to waste it. Everyone included from guys like

666
00:30:47,560 –> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: one who were hurt and Super Bowl fifty four to

667
00:30:49,960 –> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: guys like Carlos Dunlap who would never won a playoff

668
00:30:52,600 –> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: game in his thirteen year NFL career before coming to

669
00:30:55,360 –> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Now he has his chance. All of these

670
00:30:57,880 –> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: guys are so hungry for this moment, us included. We

671
00:31:01,400 –> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: just can’t wait for Sunday. Get it here. I think too.

672
00:31:05,120 –> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: I just feel like there’s one or two explosive special

673
00:31:07,640 –> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: teams plays coming in this game for the Chiefs. What

674
00:31:09,640 –> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: is that? Is that a return? Maybe? Is that a

675
00:31:11,880 –> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: block punt? Maybe our guy Jack Cochrane has been this close.

676
00:31:15,360 –> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: I’m getting some block punts? Is that blowing up a

677
00:31:18,080 –> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: return and getting a fumble recovery? I just feel that

678
00:31:21,120 –> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: way in special teams. Philadelphia is good and special teams,

679
00:31:23,880 –> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: and they got veterans. Now, Brett Kern, we saw him

680
00:31:26,320 –> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: for a thousand years being the Titans punter. But this

681
00:31:31,200 –> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: I just I hit that sense from special teams that

682
00:31:33,720 –> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: Dave Tobe and Andy Hill are thinking of something for

683
00:31:35,600 –> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, yeah, I could just meet man. I

684
00:31:37,880 –> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: could definitely see it. And special teams are where the

685
00:31:40,640 –> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: AFC Taittle game was one right. It was a tremendous

686
00:31:43,960 –> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: redemption story about how the Chiefs had to struggles and

687
00:31:46,720 –> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: special teams earlier in the year and when it mattered,

688
00:31:49,120 –> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: most those guys came through. I’m hope when we see

689
00:31:51,280 –> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: that here in this one. Hopefully the Chiefs don’t have

690
00:31:54,000 –> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: to punt in this game. Hopefully they go down and

691
00:31:56,160 –> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: score every single time. But speaking about redemption stories, don’t

692
00:31:59,600 –> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: it Tommy he was looking forward to this game as well.

693
00:32:03,280 –> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: It’s unfair to him because it was his rookie season,

694
00:32:05,400 –> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 1: but Super Bowl fifty five is a game he’d probably

695
00:32:07,120 –> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: liked to forget. But Tommy bounced back from that game

696
00:32:10,240 –> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: in such a big way. He was the best punter

697
00:32:12,560 –> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL this season. Says so much about him

698
00:32:15,240 –> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 1: that he was able to use that as fuel to

699
00:32:17,280 –> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: get better all these years later, and now he’s back

700
00:32:19,440 –> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl with a chance to show what

701
00:32:21,080 –> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: he can do as well. Hopefully it’s just holding. Hopefully

702
00:32:23,640 –> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: he does not have to punt, but if he has to,

703
00:32:25,320 –> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Tommy will be ready. And by the way, he did

704
00:32:26,840 –> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: a great job on the hold on the winning field

705
00:32:28,640 –> 00:32:31,320
Speaker 1: goal against Cincinnati. Go back and look at that and

706
00:32:31,440 –> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Tommy Towns and I’m glad you mentioned him. I’m not

707
00:32:33,840 –> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: sure the Chiefs are in this game if they don’t

708
00:32:36,200 –> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: have Tommy Townsend. No, you think I’m ron go big.

709
00:32:39,000 –> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: Watch the whole season, Go watch every game, watch nineteen games,

710
00:32:42,440 –> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: and watch the little nuance things that happened from Tommy

711
00:32:45,960 –> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: Towns and helped this Chiefs team get to Super Bowl

712
00:32:48,400 –> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: fifty seven and possibly win it. So why do you

713
00:32:51,560 –> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: connect with us on defending the Kingdom One? We’ll tell

714
00:32:54,920 –> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: you about Storage Mark, but we’ll also tell you to

715
00:32:57,200 –> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: go to the Jay Rieger and Company to Sillery super

716
00:32:59,200 –> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: Bowl party, which will be epic. But where else would

717
00:33:03,160 –> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: you hear about College football fourteen video game? Georgia State,

718
00:33:08,120 –> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: Washington State? Where else would we have a Blues Brothers reference? Right, Matt,

719
00:33:14,080 –> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: it’s a whipping wind to go with it. Whipping wind

720
00:33:16,520 –> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: and the Blues Brothers that said hit it and win it.

721
00:33:21,520 –> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: Touchdown was down and the celebration begin to their own

722
00:33:27,520 –> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: head
