11
00:00:32,600 –> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: at Ive, who’s our official grocery partner of the Kansas
12
00:00:35,560 –> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: City Chiefs. They’re awesome people, by the way. But if
13
00:00:38,280 –> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 2: you go to Highve this has happened to me. First
14
00:00:40,840 –> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: of all, you don’t know where something’s at, they’ll drop
15
00:00:43,120 –> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 2: everything and find it for you. Like I’m the worst
16
00:00:45,159 –> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 2: at it, right, I don’t know where the blueberry bagels
17
00:00:47,200 –> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: are and they’re like, we’ll find him. It’s like a
18
00:00:49,040 –> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: half mile away, but they’ll find it. The second is
19
00:00:52,000 –> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: if you have that moment. So my wife doesn’t like
20
00:00:56,480 –> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: dill pickles, I love them. I crave them. So when
21
00:00:58,840 –> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: I go to the store by myself, do the honeydew list,
22
00:01:01,280 –> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 2: but I’ll always get deal pickles. But one time clean
23
00:01:05,040 –> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: up on Asle two here they came, oh no, and
24
00:01:07,640 –> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: within seconds. But I’m just looking at these delicious, beautiful
25
00:01:10,480 –> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: pickles but being picked up by a hive person with
26
00:01:14,040 –> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: such great skill and they were there in a second’s notice.
27
00:01:19,760 –> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: So this episode is clean up on asle two because Matt,
28
00:01:23,240 –> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: we’re talking about the chiefs going into a very difficult
29
00:01:25,640 –> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: week two trying to clean it up. We’ll get into that,
30
00:01:28,760 –> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: but let’s first go around the world before we clean
31
00:01:32,360 –> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: up on asle two.
32
00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 3: Hold on, I got to back up quickly here. Whenever
33
00:01:35,040 –> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: you go to highve do you ever hear yourself like
34
00:01:38,040 –> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: doing advertisements on the intercom every time?
35
00:01:41,120 –> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: And so I’ll be at the pickle place right trying
36
00:01:43,160 –> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: to find the bright deal pickles that I and then
37
00:01:45,560 –> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: somebody will be standing right there by me and they’re
38
00:01:47,360 –> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: looking at me like like is that you dude? Is
39
00:01:50,720 –> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: that this is weird man right by the pickles?
40
00:01:52,880 –> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: Like do you live in here?
41
00:01:53,760 –> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: Like yeah, little gremlin that lives inside of High Ve. Yes,
42
00:01:58,000 –> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: I’m inside the frozen section at High I just jump
43
00:02:00,840 –> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: around bit and I say clean up on Ale two.
44
00:02:04,080 –> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: The chiefs right now are trying to clean it up
45
00:02:05,960 –> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 2: on Asle two slash Week two as they go play
46
00:02:08,240 –> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: the Jaguars around the.

00:02:09,400 –> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: World, and let’s go around the world.
48
00:02:10,919 –> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: I just thought of that because whenever Ellie and I

00:02:12,680 –> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 3: go to Hive, we’ll hear your voice and I spend
50
00:02:14,919 –> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: all day with you, and then I hear you there.

00:02:16,160 –> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: I’m like, man, I’m spending all my time with Mitch

00:02:17,840 –> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: no matter what.
53
00:02:18,360 –> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: Full disclosure, it’s kind of weird.
54
00:02:20,040 –> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: I bet it is, I bet it is. All right,

95
00:04:04,080 –> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: good time. So yep, I’m big high on Jay Rieger.
96
00:04:07,200 –> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: Also high in the Kansas City Chiefs and eighty Read’s
97
00:04:09,160 –> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: ability to fix it. I’ve seen him do it for
98
00:04:10,880 –> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: eleven seasons. Keep in mind, we all see the end result,
99
00:04:15,080 –> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: but we forget about making the sausage right in the
100
00:04:18,480 –> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: fact that six out of seven losses in the twenty
101
00:04:21,520 –> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: seventeen season and coach looked at me in the eyes
102
00:04:24,160 –> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: and you’ll go, I’m going to fix this, And he
103
00:04:25,920 –> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: did five out of six losses and another span I’m
104
00:04:29,360 –> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: going to fix this. To start the twenty fifteen season,
105
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: they win ten straight games and win a playoff game
106
00:04:34,400 –> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: for the first time in twenty one seasons. We’ve seen
107
00:04:36,800 –> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: him do it time and time and time again. A
108
00:04:39,720 –> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: flat I call him flashpoints, Matt, and usually they happen
109
00:04:42,680 –> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: in the middle or later in the season. But the
110
00:04:45,000 –> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: Chiefs have faced a little bit of an avalanche here
111
00:04:47,440 –> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: of flashpoints and we all know what all they are.
112
00:04:50,600 –> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: At the beginning of the year, which is rare. Yeah
113
00:04:53,320 –> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: it is.
114
00:04:53,880 –> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 3: And before we get into it, neither you or I
115
00:04:56,560 –> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: are making excuses. I think coach Reid, Patrick Mahomes, all
116
00:04:59,839 –> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: the those guys would say that they’re not interested in excuses.
117
00:05:02,520 –> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 3: But there’s a difference between excuses and pointing out areas
118
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: of optimism and reasons we think everything is going to
119
00:05:08,240 –> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 3: be okay, because we do think everything is going to
120
00:05:10,279 –> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: be just fine. If you look at that game, the
121
00:05:13,400 –> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: Chiefs were in position to win the game multiple times,
122
00:05:16,200 –> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: and we are used to the Chiefs finishing the game.
123
00:05:19,000 –> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 3: Now they didn’t do it and on this occasion, but
124
00:05:21,360 –> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: the fact that they were in position to do so
125
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: is encouraging because more often than not they come through
126
00:05:26,320 –> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: in those crucial situations. So we understand that it’s a bummer.
127
00:05:30,880 –> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 3: Of course you want to win on bann Or night.
128
00:05:33,240 –> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 3: Nobody is more disappointed about it than the players and
129
00:05:35,520 –> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: the coaches themselves. But they have all this time to
130
00:05:38,360 –> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: get right, to work on the things that went wrong,
131
00:05:40,920 –> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: and to get after a really good team in the
132
00:05:42,480 –> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 3: Jags on Sunday. And it’s kind of felt like a
133
00:05:44,920 –> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: million years now since that game. Because whenever you lose,
134
00:05:48,080 –> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: particularly on like a weekday game, you have to wait
135
00:05:51,040 –> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: forever to get to your next opportunity. But I’m fired
136
00:05:54,240 –> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: up about going down to Jacksonville a rematch of the
137
00:05:57,120 –> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: Divisional round last year, and just trying to get back
138
00:05:59,600 –> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: on track. And I know that we have the players
139
00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 3: here and the coaches here to get us back on track,
140
00:06:04,360 –> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: because we saw it all off season, we saw it
141
00:06:06,480 –> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 3: in training camp. A little blip on the radar against
142
00:06:09,839 –> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 3: the Lions on Thursday night, but there’s no better team
143
00:06:12,720 –> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: and no team it’s better equipped to put that in
144
00:06:15,520 –> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: the rearvery mirror than this team.
145
00:06:17,320 –> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: And Patrick Mahomes becomes a key cog here, not just
146
00:06:20,279 –> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: because of his physical ability, but we had him on
147
00:06:23,600 –> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs Kingdom Show on Monday night. If you can
148
00:06:26,240 –> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: find that it’s archived, you can listen to that interview
149
00:06:30,920 –> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: because and Coach talked about him as well, the human
150
00:06:34,080 –> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: being that he is in helping guys like Ola Kadarius
151
00:06:37,200 –> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 2: Tony after the game that he had, or helping a
152
00:06:40,560 –> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: sky more just lifting them up and encouraging them. I
153
00:06:44,360 –> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: mean again, Patrick Mahomes is a pseudo coach here. The
154
00:06:47,720 –> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: other thing that Patrick and I talked about off air
155
00:06:50,720 –> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: was the hidden yardage, and that’s where we’re going to
156
00:06:52,360 –> 00:06:55,239
Speaker 2: focus on today. We love stats. You and I love stats.
157
00:06:55,279 –> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: We like to do the deep dive dig in and
158
00:06:57,600 –> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: this Jags team is really good. And try to find
159
00:07:00,120 –> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: our Kingdom conversations this week you can find on the
160
00:07:02,360 –> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: Chiefs app But we laid out why the Jacksonville Jaguars
161
00:07:06,240 –> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 2: are better than they were last year.
162
00:07:08,080 –> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: We’re not going there today.
163
00:07:09,480 –> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: We’re going to go into this category which really isn’t
164
00:07:12,480 –> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: a category, but it’s something you and I watched very closely,
165
00:07:15,720 –> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 2: and it has nothing to do with your fantasy team.
166
00:07:18,520 –> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 2: It has nothing to do many times with the stat
167
00:07:20,760 –> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: sheet or if you look at an NFL game book,
168
00:07:23,680 –> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: but if you watch the video, it jumps off and
169
00:07:27,080 –> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: that is the hidden yardage. And let’s discuss it here
170
00:07:30,160 –> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: because there’s positive ways to get the hidden yardage and
171
00:07:32,440 –> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: there’s negative in the game against the Lions. We know
172
00:07:36,320 –> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: about the drop passes, but going back and reviewing the video,
173
00:07:39,880 –> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: it is so in the stat sheet it’ll just show
174
00:07:42,560 –> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: up as a drop or a target no catch. In reality,
175
00:07:46,960 –> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: figuring up what would have happened had those catches been made.
176
00:07:50,480 –> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: It was going to be one hundred and fifty two yards,
177
00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: which equals basically ten points. Think of one hundred yards
178
00:07:56,160 –> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 2: a seven points that and we know about the pick six.
179
00:08:00,040 –> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: The hidden yardage comes into play here because it’s not
180
00:08:02,920 –> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: in a stat sheet, but those it’s the opportunity cost
181
00:08:06,680 –> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: to use a business term that your grandma would have
182
00:08:08,960 –> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 2: used in her economics classes at Middle Tennessee. Stayed to
183
00:08:11,520 –> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: give her a shout out. She passed recently. So, but
184
00:08:15,280 –> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: it’s the opportunity cost of what would have happened had
185
00:08:18,320 –> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: the catch been made.
186
00:08:19,280 –> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely and just unfortunately for the Chiefs. Those mistakes happened
187
00:08:23,520 –> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: in the most critical of moments on Thursday, because if
188
00:08:26,440 –> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: you look at the drops and look at how the
189
00:08:28,520 –> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: game progressed, the Chiefs had the ball in the red
190
00:08:31,400 –> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: zone twice in the second half and came away with
191
00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: field goals both times. And there was drops on third down,
192
00:08:38,880 –> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 3: pretty manageable drops on those third downs that would have
193
00:08:42,080 –> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 3: continued the drive. And who knows that the Chiefs score
194
00:08:43,920 –> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: touchdowns on those drives, maybe just one touchdown, one field goal, whatever,
195
00:08:47,559 –> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: Maybe they win the game. We don’t know, but it’s
196
00:08:50,200 –> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 3: unfortunate when those things happen in critical moments. Like I
197
00:08:53,480 –> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: said earlier, though these guys have shown time and time
198
00:08:56,640 –> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 3: again that they can make plays in the biggest of moments.
199
00:08:59,040 –> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: That’s why I’m not concerned. Again, it’s a bummer, but
200
00:09:01,960 –> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: it just didn’t work out. You flush it, you move
201
00:09:03,960 –> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: on from it, because dwelling on it does nothing, But
202
00:09:06,920 –> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: you learn from it and you get better because of it.
203
00:09:08,960 –> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: And that’s one of the themes I’m kind of taking
204
00:09:10,800 –> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 3: from this game. Of course, it didn’t go the way
205
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: the Chiefs wanted it to, but if you can use
206
00:09:15,840 –> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: it properly and use it the right way, we’re going
207
00:09:18,360 –> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: to be in like week eleven or week twelve, hopefully
208
00:09:20,760 –> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: talking about how this team is trying to get the
209
00:09:22,880 –> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: one seed in AFC, and maybe we’ll look back on
210
00:09:25,520 –> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: that Lion’s loss and say that was a good experience
211
00:09:29,360 –> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: for these guys early in the season that they used
212
00:09:31,880 –> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: to get to where they are now. Now they have
213
00:09:34,160 –> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: to do that. They have to put the work in
214
00:09:35,559 –> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: and get better because of it. But that’s why I’m
215
00:09:37,640 –> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 3: encouraged and not discouraged about the results snowballing from Thursday. So, yeah,
216
00:09:44,960 –> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: those drops and big moments, they’re not what you want.
217
00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 3: We haven’t seen those in the past. That’s one of
218
00:09:49,559 –> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 3: the reasons that You’s have been so good in recent
219
00:09:51,320 –> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: years as they come through in the biggest of moments
220
00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 3: because a drop, particularly like on third down, is the
221
00:09:56,960 –> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 3: difference a lot of times between two very.
222
00:09:58,720 –> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: Good teams, difference in a good point in the slim
223
00:10:02,400 –> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 2: margin in the NFL, for sure, but especially in the
224
00:10:05,559 –> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: AFC and when you play a contender and you play
225
00:10:08,120 –> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars and their home opener. But this is
226
00:10:10,960 –> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: where Patrick Mahomes comes into play here again, because Patrick’s
227
00:10:14,760 –> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: going to put the ball where it needs to be
228
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: based on the defensive coverage and where that defender is.
229
00:10:19,480 –> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: For example, it’s just like you catching like a Verlander
230
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 2: or a Max Scherzer. To give you a miszoo some
231
00:10:25,240 –> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: love here, Max a former Missouri Tiger, but he’s going
232
00:10:28,320 –> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: to put the pitch where it needs to be. You
233
00:10:30,120 –> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: need to catch the ball where it’s pitched. And I
234
00:10:32,720 –> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 2: think that’ll be a big step for these younger receivers
235
00:10:35,040 –> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: is the ball’s not going to be in your comfort
236
00:10:36,840 –> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: zone catch radius. All right, Let’s take it from you
237
00:10:39,640 –> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: know your as we those of you are listening and
238
00:10:42,720 –> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 2: not viewing, it’s basically your forehead arms extended down your stomach.
239
00:10:46,600 –> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: Patrick’s not going to put it there. Many of the times,
240
00:10:48,679 –> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: it’s going to be down lower below your hip. You’re
241
00:10:50,800 –> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: going to go get the ball, okay, And so that
242
00:10:53,840 –> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 2: will be the maturation process. But that’s where Patrick’s been
243
00:10:56,600 –> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: so good of encouraging the guys, saying, hey, if the
244
00:10:58,960 –> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: defender’s here, you’re going to the ball here, be ready
245
00:11:01,679 –> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: and train yourself to know that it’s not going to
246
00:11:03,679 –> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 2: be in your comfort zone catch radius all the time.
247
00:11:05,800 –> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 3: And that’s the development and the growth of a young
248
00:11:07,679 –> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: receiver corps. There were always going to be growing pains
249
00:11:10,240 –> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 3: with a lot of these players who we feel really
250
00:11:12,080 –> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 3: good about and who are really talented, but you can’t
251
00:11:14,320 –> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: simulate game action in Saint Joe. You can get a
252
00:11:17,320 –> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: lot of work done, but you can’t truly simulate how
253
00:11:19,920 –> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: fast a game is and where the ball might be
254
00:11:22,360 –> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: coming to you when you’re maybe not expecting it or
255
00:11:24,160 –> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: it’s in a place where maybe you’re not used to
256
00:11:25,800 –> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: it being Those kind of things take time, and as
257
00:11:29,679 –> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: we see these guys grow with Patrick over the next
258
00:11:32,200 –> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 3: several weeks, I think you’re going to see a lot
259
00:11:34,360 –> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: of progression there. One example is Mark was about this
260
00:11:37,840 –> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 3: scantling from last year to this year, he made one
261
00:11:40,559 –> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: of the catches of his career at the end of
262
00:11:42,520 –> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 3: the first half against Detroit. I think he was more
263
00:11:45,320 –> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: prepared for that moment this year because he had all
264
00:11:48,040 –> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: of last year with Patrick. So I think we’re going
265
00:11:50,559 –> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: to see that here over the next several weeks, as
266
00:11:52,679 –> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: long as the guys put the work in, and I
267
00:11:54,160 –> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 3: know they will.
268
00:11:54,760 –> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the NBA’s example is a good one because we
269
00:11:56,800 –> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: did see him at camp catch everything, running all different
270
00:11:59,520 –> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: kinds of around. Let’s be interesting to see what MBS
271
00:12:01,559 –> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: can do this week against Jacksonville. There is a positive.
272
00:12:04,679 –> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: So the hidden yardage, what did you lose by not
273
00:12:07,760 –> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 2: completing that play drop pass? Doesn’t show up in the
274
00:12:10,559 –> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 2: stat sheet, But if you watch the all twenty two,
275
00:12:12,840 –> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 2: like a lot of you do, you can sit there
276
00:12:14,720 –> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: and calculate this yardage that you lost by not completing
277
00:12:18,200 –> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: that play second one And this is a positive in
278
00:12:21,000 –> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: something I’ve been harping along for years. The most devastating
279
00:12:23,760 –> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: defensive play that people do not talk about, and that
280
00:12:26,720 –> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 2: is the past deflected, especially at the line of scrimmage.
281
00:12:29,760 –> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 2: There were three in this game that gives you an example.
282
00:12:32,640 –> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Carl loftus and looking at a third and ten a
283
00:12:35,040 –> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: bubble screen. He knocks it down the bubble screen. Again,
284
00:12:39,640 –> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: you’re extrapolating here. Looks like it was going to go
285
00:12:42,440 –> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: for about fifteen yards in a first down because the
286
00:12:44,840 –> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 2: ball never arrives to where it’s supposed to go. Knock
287
00:12:47,480 –> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: down at the line of scrimmage or defending even the
288
00:12:49,880 –> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 2: physics of the throw becomes a huge play. Justin Reid
289
00:12:53,440 –> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: at the end fourth down and two, that pass is
290
00:12:55,720 –> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: going to be a first down. He knocks it down.
291
00:12:57,840 –> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: Chee’s get the ball and a chance to win. Pass
292
00:13:00,400 –> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: broken up, especially at the line of scrimmage. Just freeze,
293
00:13:03,240 –> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 2: frame it and look at where the offensive player. It
294
00:13:06,200 –> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: is devastating to an offensive coordinator, cause the perfect player, quarterback,
295
00:13:09,800 –> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: who’s got this it’s there, it’s there, it’s there, it’s
296
00:13:12,360 –> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: not there. So for the Chiefs to climb this year
297
00:13:15,640 –> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: and this week, it is to reduce the negative side
298
00:13:19,520 –> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: of the hidden yardage and increase the positive side.
299
00:13:23,960 –> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: It’s really amazing how just one or two plays can
300
00:13:26,320 –> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: completely change the narrative and change how you feel about things.
301
00:13:29,800 –> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: Because you made a great point about Justin Reid’s swat
302
00:13:33,040 –> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage on that fourth down. Just
303
00:13:35,480 –> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 3: think about if the Chiefs had gone down and scored
304
00:13:38,440 –> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: after that and won the game. The defense, I mean,
305
00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 3: I think it would be getting national attention for the
306
00:13:43,120 –> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: game that they played. I don’t think they got nearly
307
00:13:45,320 –> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 3: the credit they deserved. They allowed two offensive touchdowns against
308
00:13:48,160 –> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 3: the Lions, the number five scoring offense in the NFL
309
00:13:50,880 –> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: last year. They held Detroit to five of fifteen on
310
00:13:53,760 –> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: third down and on fourth down when the Lions were
311
00:13:56,400 –> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 3: going for the win at midfield fourth and two, I
312
00:13:59,840 –> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 3: think think it was they stop them and they give
313
00:14:02,040 –> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: the offense an opportunity to win the game. Again, no excuses,
314
00:14:05,400 –> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: but that is a real positive to take out of this,
315
00:14:07,600 –> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: where the defense gave the offense an opportunity and more
316
00:14:10,160 –> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 3: often than not, the offense is going to take advantage of.
317
00:14:12,360 –> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: It didn’t work out on Thursday, but we certainly can’t
318
00:14:15,640 –> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 3: forget about that now. It’s also the plays that are
319
00:14:18,440 –> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: really close that you don’t make that kind of haunt
320
00:14:20,880 –> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 3: me at times. And Lagarius Sneed was really close to
321
00:14:24,440 –> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: a strip sack on Jared Goff on the third and
322
00:14:27,040 –> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: twelve on the drive that the Lions had to ended
323
00:14:29,640 –> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 3: up being the game winning drive with about seven minutes left.
324
00:14:32,160 –> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter.
325
00:14:33,040 –> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: If Lagerius strip sacks Golf, there the Chiefs are already
326
00:14:35,920 –> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 3: of field goal range. Maybe they punch in a touchdown.
327
00:14:38,200 –> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: They certainly win the game. I mean, his fingers were
328
00:14:40,680 –> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: on Golf’s throwing arm just a millisecond more. He striped
329
00:14:45,440 –> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: sacks Golf, but he didn’t Golf completed the pass. That’s
330
00:14:48,320 –> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 3: just the way it goes. That’s football, you know, And
331
00:14:50,680 –> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 3: that’s football between two really good teams. It’s truly not
332
00:14:54,080 –> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: even inches, it’s centimeters. So what do you learn from it?
333
00:14:58,280 –> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: You look at all these things, You look at the good,
334
00:15:00,440 –> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: you look at the bad, look at the plays that
335
00:15:01,880 –> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 3: you almost made, and you find out how to take
336
00:15:04,440 –> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 3: the best stuff and apply it to the next week.
337
00:15:06,680 –> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: And that’s why I’m confident this group will be okay
338
00:15:08,680 –> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: moving forward.
339
00:15:09,440 –> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: And as we close, there’s a third category here for
340
00:15:11,960 –> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: you to track. If you want to be a real
341
00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: football fan, this is hidden yardage. You got to work
342
00:15:16,320 –> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 2: at this. And you and I both watch the video.
343
00:15:19,360 –> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 2: This takes a little video review, but in a stat
344
00:15:22,360 –> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: sheet in an NFL game book, it will be the
345
00:15:24,800 –> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: penalties and then the yardage of the penalties. Truthfully, you
346
00:15:29,960 –> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: have to look at the net effect of that penalty.
347
00:15:33,800 –> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: Let’s just give you an example. The Chiefs complete a
348
00:15:36,320 –> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: pass for seventeen yards, which could have led to a
349
00:15:39,720 –> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: game winning field goal, but there was holding on the play.
350
00:15:43,400 –> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: That net effect was really twenty seven yards, the ten
351
00:15:46,840 –> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 2: yards of the hold, and then the seventeen yards you
352
00:15:49,920 –> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: did not get. So it’s somewhat similar to the drop pass,
353
00:15:52,680 –> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: except it’s double jeopardy. You not only lose the opportunity
354
00:15:56,880 –> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: cost of the yardage you would have gained, it’s the
355
00:15:58,960 –> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: penalty yardage. When you look at that in the context
356
00:16:01,720 –> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: of a game. And I was just figuring this up.
357
00:16:03,640 –> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: One hundred and eighty five hidden yards in this game
358
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: that worked against the Chiefs. One hundred and eighty five yards.
359
00:16:09,560 –> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: That’s close to fourteen points, and set tells you how
360
00:16:13,360 –> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: close and nothing against the Lions. But when people say, gosh,
361
00:16:16,800 –> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: this could have been a double digit Chiefs victory, yes
362
00:16:19,320 –> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 2: it could have. But going into Jacksonville, just chart these folks.
363
00:16:22,960 –> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: Chart this.
364
00:16:23,560 –> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: If the Chiefs can reduce the hidden yardage negative side
365
00:16:26,200 –> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: and gain on the positive side of hidden yardage, the
366
00:16:29,440 –> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: Chiefs will win in Jacksonville.
367
00:16:30,960 –> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: I agree, and again this is a reason for optimism.
368
00:16:33,960 –> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: That not too often does almost everything go wrong, and
369
00:16:40,120 –> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: certainly not for the Chiefs, and just for whatever reason,
370
00:16:43,480 –> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 3: on Thursday night, it seemed like almost everything that could
371
00:16:46,840 –> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: go wrong in a critical moment seemed to go wrong.
372
00:16:50,440 –> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Not everything.
373
00:16:51,160 –> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: The Chiefs had the fourth down stop, the Chiefs had
374
00:16:53,040 –> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 3: opportunities in this game. We got to remember that they
375
00:16:55,280 –> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 3: had opportunities to win the game. But still it just
376
00:16:58,360 –> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 3: a lot of things went wrong for the chief in
377
00:17:00,360 –> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: that game, and they still only lost by one point
378
00:17:02,520 –> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: and still had a chance to win it in the end.
379
00:17:04,800 –> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 3: So that’s why I feel good about things moving forward,
380
00:17:07,080 –> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: because I’ve watched this team all summer and I know
381
00:17:10,720 –> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: that they’re going to come through more often than not
382
00:17:13,280 –> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: in major situations. It was just kind of an anomaly
383
00:17:16,680 –> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: on Thursday. Now, what’s the impetus on the guys. Don’t
384
00:17:20,359 –> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 3: let that snowball. I mean, it’s a real result, is
385
00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 3: what happened on Thursday. You have to accept it, but
386
00:17:26,080 –> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 3: you learn from it, you move on from it. You
387
00:17:27,960 –> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 3: don’t let that define you. And Patrick Mahomes said as
388
00:17:30,480 –> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: much during his media availability on Wednesday. He’s excited for
389
00:17:34,000 –> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 3: the guys to go out and show who they are
390
00:17:36,119 –> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: and I feel great that they’re going to do that
391
00:17:38,040 –> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: against a very good team and the Jags on Sunday.
392
00:17:40,840 –> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: But they got to do it. That’s the important thing.
393
00:17:43,280 –> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: It’s my feeling dropping the deal pickles at high ve
394
00:17:46,840 –> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: and they came rushing there clean up on Aisle two,
395
00:17:51,160 –> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 2: and the person did such a phenomenal job of cleaning
396
00:17:53,440 –> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: it up. I paid for the pickles that crashed, but
397
00:17:57,000 –> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: I had full confidence and trust in them clean up
398
00:18:00,320 –> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: those pickles and doing a great job. You didn’t even
399
00:18:02,359 –> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: know what happened. And I got complete trust in Andy
400
00:18:05,000 –> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 2: Reid and Patrick Mahomes and the others to get it
401
00:18:07,920 –> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: fixed too. Clean it up on Aisle two, touch down,
402
00:18:14,960 –> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: losh it down, and the celebration begins to their head.
