2
00:00:04,000 –> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: The Chiefs need to take care of business week by week.

3
00:00:06,280 –> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: That means they need to stack them up. But they

4
00:00:08,480 –> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: go to the most historic place in the National Football

5
00:00:11,039 –> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: League this week on Sunday Night Football to do so.

6
00:00:14,440 –> 00:00:16,600

Speaker 1: I’m gonna throw a crossing pattern, com Rice starting hangling

11
00:00:27,000 –> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: twenty five up the sideline, fifteen.

12
00:00:29,160 –> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 3: Headside the five touchdown chardzas City the thirty nine York

13
00:00:36,320 –> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 3: crossing pattern and then zooming up the sideline.

14
00:00:39,800 –> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: Rushie Rice, Everyone, I Mitchel this Voice of the Chiefs

15
00:00:44,159 –> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. In this episode

16
00:00:48,400 –> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom, it is stack versus pack, meaning

17
00:00:52,680 –> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: stack them up? Can the Chiefs stack up? They’re thirty

18
00:00:55,680 –> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: one to three, run against the Raiders and take it

19
00:00:58,920 –> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: into lambeau Field and then Rashie Rice will be our

20
00:01:02,200 –> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: guest and eight catches one hundred and seven yards, including

21
00:01:06,120 –> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: explosive thirty nine yard touchdown reception. Now can Rice do

22
00:01:10,160 –> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: it again? We’ll chat with him later in the episode.

23
00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, and looking forward to that, Rashie was awesome against

24
00:01:15,959 –> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 4: the Raiders on Sunday, and what an interesting game it was.

25
00:01:19,840 –> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: It’s one of those things that now in retrospect, I’m

26
00:01:21,920 –> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 4: actually kind of glad that we fell behind fourteen nothing

27
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: because we saw how the guys responded. Right, you look

28
00:01:27,280 –> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: at the final score, it seems like the Chiefs just

29
00:01:29,720 –> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: ran the table the whole way. But I think it

30
00:01:32,080 –> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 4: says a lot about this iteration of this team that

31
00:01:35,400 –> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: they were down fourteen nothing against a hungry divisional opponent

32
00:01:38,880 –> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: on the road. That kind of has them on the ropes, right,

33
00:01:42,640 –> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: And what.

34
00:01:42,920 –> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: Do the Chiefs do.

35
00:01:43,920 –> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 4: They respond to that adversity and they find a way

36
00:01:46,840 –> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: to win in convincing fashion. So, based on how it

37
00:01:50,200 –> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 4: all played out, if you asked me at the beginning

38
00:01:51,800 –> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: of the second quarter if I was happy with how

39
00:01:53,320 –> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 4: things were going, I would not have said yes. But

40
00:01:55,600 –> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: based on how the game ended up, almost a good

41
00:01:58,120 –> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: thing that Chiefs faced some adversity and how they responded.

42
00:02:01,160 –> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: The greater good kind of game, the greater good being

43
00:02:03,520 –> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: down fourteen to win by fourteen reminiscent of the runs

44
00:02:07,320 –> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl fifty four and fifty seven then two again.

45
00:02:10,480 –> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: We’ll have Rice later, but his catch on third down

46
00:02:13,840 –> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: for ten on third down and eight that was critical

47
00:02:16,760 –> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: in a touchdown drive the black hole no pun intended

48
00:02:20,360 –> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: of the first drive of the third quarter that we

49
00:02:22,200 –> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: talked about in previous episodes. He comes up with a

50
00:02:25,760 –> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: big nineteen yard catch on that drive that leads to

51
00:02:28,440 –> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown and then to put the game away essentially

52
00:02:31,440 –> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: with the crosser that ends up being a thirty nine

53
00:02:33,280 –> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: yard touchdown.

54
00:02:34,440 –> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: It’s that’s the greater good in this game, I think.

55
00:02:37,240 –> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: And the fact that not only when he caught it,

56
00:02:39,040 –> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: how he caught it, what happened with those catches becomes

57
00:02:42,040 –> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: a greater good because it becomes a compliment, is something

58
00:02:44,440 –> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: to fill in the gap that we’ve been looking for

59
00:02:46,480 –> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: throughout the season.

60
00:02:47,520 –> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn’t just empty yards. It’s one thing if

61
00:02:50,000 –> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 4: you look at like a one hundred yard game and

62
00:02:51,639 –> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 4: you’re like, okay, where did those yards come from? For Rashi,

63
00:02:54,560 –> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 4: it was like all big moments, right, you just laid.

64
00:02:57,120 –> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: It all out.

65
00:02:58,080 –> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 4: I think it says a lot about his relationship with

66
00:03:00,520 –> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes that Mahomes was trusting him in those moments.

67
00:03:04,080 –> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: He had four first down catches on Sunday. Two of

68
00:03:07,440 –> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: those were on third down. You mentioned the first one

69
00:03:09,480 –> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: on the first scoring drive. On that first scoring drive,

70
00:03:12,200 –> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 4: if Rashid does not catch that ball, okay, the Chiefs

71
00:03:14,919 –> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: kick a field goal, they’re down fourteen to three. You

72
00:03:17,440 –> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 4: feel a lot better about fourteen to seven.

73
00:03:19,600 –> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: Right.

74
00:03:20,080 –> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 4: And then the backyard football style play on the first

75
00:03:23,200 –> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 4: drive of the second half. That doesn’t always happen right

76
00:03:27,120 –> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: away with rookie receivers. They don’t know what Patrick Mahomes

77
00:03:29,919 –> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: is going to do. Credit to Rashid for knowing what

78
00:03:32,720 –> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 4: what Patrick was going to do on that play and

79
00:03:34,680 –> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: being open and ready for the play. And then lastly,

80
00:03:37,520 –> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: the third down that ended up being the backbreaker. We’ve

81
00:03:39,960 –> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: been looking for, that knockout punch in these recent games, right,

82
00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 4: didn’t get it against Miami, couldn’t get it last week

83
00:03:45,800 –> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 4: against Philadelphia. We got it here against the Raiders. That

84
00:03:49,080 –> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: was the play where it’s like, Okay, the Chiefs have

85
00:03:51,240 –> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: this game, and that’s really exciting stuff moving forward.

86
00:03:54,520 –> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: And also we don’t want leave the defense out of

87
00:03:56,320 –> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: this discussion. In the fact that again a fifteenth consecutive

88
00:03:59,440 –> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: game and whole an opponent under twenty four points. That’s

89
00:04:01,920 –> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: wrapped around two last year and that’s kind of zeroing

90
00:04:06,280 –> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: in now on a franchise record. So defensively to start

91
00:04:09,720 –> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: the way the defense did, but the way they ended

92
00:04:12,120 –> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: it was spectacular to hold the Raiders to three points.

93
00:04:15,680 –> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: And here again we have seen some amazing things happen,

94
00:04:18,560 –> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: basically blanketing Justin Jefferson in the Vikings game, one catch

95
00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: eight yards in the second half for AJ Brown, are

96
00:04:25,200 –> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: in the game for AJ Brown, and then zero catches

97
00:04:28,080 –> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: for DeVante Adams in the second half of that Raiders game.

98
00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 4: It’s one of those things where they responded once again.

99
00:04:33,480 –> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 4: I mean the Raiders went up and down the field

100
00:04:35,760 –> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: on their first three drives, only got fourteen points out

101
00:04:38,400 –> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: of it because of the missfield goal, but they were

102
00:04:40,480 –> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 4: five for five on third down at one point against

103
00:04:43,120 –> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 4: Kansas City. But what did the Chiefs do? They responded,

104
00:04:46,000 –> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 4: They adjusted and found a way to really limit this

105
00:04:48,520 –> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: Raiders offense. That’s better than it gets credit for, I think,

106
00:04:51,640 –> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 4: and you mentioned this, the Chiefs have not allowed more

107
00:04:54,880 –> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: than twenty four points in a single game this season,

108
00:04:57,720 –> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 4: so eleven games this season. It’s the long streak to

109
00:05:00,600 –> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: start a season of not allowing more than twenty four

110
00:05:03,080 –> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 4: points in the game since the twenty thirteen Carolina Panthers,

111
00:05:06,600 –> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 4: and for the Chiefs it’s the longest streak to start

112
00:05:08,279 –> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 4: a season since nineteen ninety one. This defense is something special,

113
00:05:12,440 –> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 4: and it’s kind of ironic because the game started kind

114
00:05:14,640 –> 00:05:16,919
Speaker 4: of poorly for both the defense and the offense, but

115
00:05:17,400 –> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 4: beginning at like the eleven minute mark of the second quarter,

116
00:05:20,880 –> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 4: it might have been one of the most complete games

117
00:05:22,640 –> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 4: the Chiefs have played, both defensively and offensively, outscoring the

118
00:05:26,360 –> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 4: Raiders thirty one to three the rest of the way.

119
00:05:29,080 –> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: And the offense gets a lot of credit for that,

120
00:05:30,600 –> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 4: deservingly so. But you can’t have a comeback if the

121
00:05:32,720 –> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 4: defense doesn’t play well. And the defense was lights out

122
00:05:35,640 –> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 4: after the Raiders’ third offensive possession.

123
00:05:37,920 –> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: But this league is about stacking those performances up. It’s

124
00:05:41,080 –> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: how you win a division, it’s how you win a conference,

125
00:05:43,839 –> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: it’s how you win a super Bowl. We have seen

126
00:05:46,240 –> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: it in the eleven years under the winning US coach

127
00:05:49,680 –> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: in Kansas City Chiefs history, Andy Reid, who now passes

128
00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: the mentor Hank Stram to be in that position. But

129
00:05:55,920 –> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: we also don’t want to forget any or all of you,

130
00:05:58,320 –> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: So let’s jump in to the satellite that we call

131
00:06:00,920 –> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: the mat Stat satellite and sail around the Earth, fly

132
00:06:05,120 –> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: around the Earth in our satellite and check out are

133
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: around the world segment.

134
00:06:09,040 –> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 4: I was wondering if you were going to get to

135
00:06:10,279 –> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 4: the fire.

136
00:06:11,760 –> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: Should have four today because of rassy rest.

137
00:06:14,160 –> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 4: Well, we have a mind meld, my friend, I have

138
00:06:16,080 –> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 4: four for you today.

139
00:06:17,480 –> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Yeah again, huh Yeah, he’s brilliant, So tell me he’s

140
00:06:21,240 –> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: a brilliant dude.

141
00:06:22,520 –> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: We’ve got a listener from Alaska. Pretty cool. I’ll be

142
00:06:25,279 –> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 4: in Alaska in about six months.

143
00:06:26,839 –> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: Can’t wait. Night, we’re in Alaska.

144
00:06:28,600 –> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: So we’re doing a cruise. We’re leaving out of Vancouver, Canada.

145
00:06:31,440 –> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 4: I book my flight yesterday actually, but we’re gonna leave

146
00:06:34,520 –> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 4: that at Vancouver. We’re gonna go up the land. Yeah,

147
00:06:37,520 –> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 4: and then just kind of circle around. It’s like seven

148
00:06:39,080 –> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: days then go back to Vancouver. I can’t wait.

149
00:06:41,240 –> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: And where’s this person from?

150
00:06:42,640 –> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 4: That’s we don’t know where exactly, just Alaska.

151
00:06:45,040 –> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: Man narrows it down.

152
00:06:46,040 –> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: The last frontier could be no North Pole could be Fairbanks,

153
00:06:50,120 –> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: home of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks and the Knooks.

154
00:06:52,760 –> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 4: Could be Barrow, Alaska. You ever see like ether, you know,

155
00:06:55,600 –> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: I’m talking about with Barrow, like they have to live

156
00:06:57,520 –> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 4: like on top of like wood planks because it’s like

157
00:07:00,160 –> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: facing the North Pole. Anyway, I don’t.

158
00:07:02,240 –> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 2: Want to go to the Illusions as well.

159
00:07:03,800 –> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 4: That’d be awesome, wouldn’t it.

160
00:07:04,800 –> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

161
00:07:05,040 –> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, anyway, a listener from Alaska. I heard from

162
00:07:08,600 –> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: Rosta in South Carolina. We’ve heard from Rosta before. They

163
00:07:11,360 –> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: wanted to shout out their girlfriend at Teresa from Boston.

164
00:07:14,920 –> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: Teresa grew up a Patriot fan but is now turning

165
00:07:17,200 –> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: the corner and is now a Kingdom defender in South Carolina.

166
00:07:20,680 –> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 5: So I wonder why the area, So why are they defective?

167
00:07:23,840 –> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: Listen, we welcome everyone. James and his mom Carolyn are

168
00:07:27,280 –> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: from Parker, Arizona. And then lastly heard from David, originally

169
00:07:32,160 –> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: from Atchison, Kansas, but now living in Quebec. Lifelong fan

170
00:07:35,920 –> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: in Quebec. You’ve ever been to Quebec?

171
00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: I have not, although I want to. I want to

172
00:07:42,240 –> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: go to Quebec because of the culture there. You feel

173
00:07:45,720 –> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: like you’re kind of in France right when you go

174
00:07:47,320 –> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: to Montreal. But I do want to go to Quebec.

175
00:07:48,880 –> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: Have you been there?

176
00:07:49,400 –> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: No?

177
00:07:49,560 –> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 4: I never have. I’d love to. I went to Winnipeg

178
00:07:51,800 –> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: with my wife years ago. It’s the closest I’ve ever gotten.

179
00:07:54,560 –> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 4: But I’d love to go because you’re right, it’s like

180
00:07:57,160 –> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 4: France in North America. It’d be so strange. I bet

181
00:08:00,240 –> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 4: going to Montreal is like the weirdest culture shock. But

182
00:08:02,680 –> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 4: I’d love to go, Yeah, one of these days and

183
00:08:05,200 –> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 4: go to a hockey game. Yeah Canadians hockey game against

184
00:08:08,080 –> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: the Ottawa Senators. Absolutely sometime.

185
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: But love it around the world, So you know, keep

186
00:08:14,520 –> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: let us know where you’re at all seven continents. We’re

187
00:08:17,200 –> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: still waiting for Antarctica. You can’t fake it. You have

188
00:08:19,960 –> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: to shoot like no artificial intelligence photo. It’s going to

189
00:08:22,880 –> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: have to be real from Antarctica. But anyway, we’ve heard

190
00:08:26,280 –> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: from all the other continents and love you all as

191
00:08:28,520 –> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: Kingdom Defenders. Boosting this team, which is fun to boost.

192
00:08:32,679 –> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: So stack them up against the pack and try to

193
00:08:36,480 –> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: put together a consistent performance here because we saw the

194
00:08:40,000 –> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: gaps filled in.

195
00:08:40,920 –> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 2: Go back to the last two episodes.

196
00:08:42,360 –> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: We were talking about coming off the bye week and

197
00:08:44,320 –> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Andy Reach’s so good at self scouting. Well, I think

198
00:08:47,120 –> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: we’re seeing the fruit of that a little bit. That

199
00:08:49,679 –> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: first drive of the third quarter when I interviewed Andy

200
00:08:52,320 –> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs Kingdom Show and on the Radio network

201
00:08:54,480 –> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: on Monday night. That’s where I started, wasn’t at the

202
00:08:57,080 –> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: beginning of the game. It wasn’t It was that drive,

203
00:09:00,320 –> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: and he’d said, yeah, the guys are kind of tired

204
00:09:02,080 –> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: of hearing about it, right, But that drive was so

205
00:09:04,440 –> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: efficient five runs, five passes, and there was an awareness

206
00:09:08,040 –> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: because it changed the game. It went from oh, a

207
00:09:10,559 –> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: fourteen to fourteen game to now the Chiefs were up

208
00:09:12,800 –> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: seven and took the fight to the Raiders, where in

209
00:09:16,640 –> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: the other games the five weeks prior, even though three

210
00:09:19,400 –> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: of those five were wins, the fight got pushed back

211
00:09:22,520 –> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs in all of those games, so it

212
00:09:24,559 –> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: was encouraging to see that they’ll let to do the

213
00:09:26,280 –> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: same against the Packers.

214
00:09:27,520 –> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: I think finding that rhythm on that drive was really

215
00:09:30,320 –> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 4: important because I think it’s human nature that you look

216
00:09:33,000 –> 00:09:35,239
Speaker 4: at a couple of these games in the past, specifically

217
00:09:35,280 –> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: the Eagles game. If the game is tied, or if

218
00:09:38,320 –> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 4: you have the lead and you’re trying to add to

219
00:09:40,000 –> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 4: it in the second half and things don’t go well,

220
00:09:42,960 –> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 4: guys might start to press and that accentuates the issues.

221
00:09:46,679 –> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 4: I think finding that success and that opening drive the

222
00:09:49,080 –> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 4: third quarter against the Raiders is a really scary thing

223
00:09:51,880 –> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 4: for the NFL because it’s all of a sudden, the

224
00:09:54,640 –> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: Chiefs figured it out, and the Chiefs can move the football.

225
00:09:57,320 –> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 4: The Chiefs are not turning the ball over on the

226
00:09:58,880 –> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 4: red zone. We’re not having these issues. The Chiefs are

227
00:10:01,360 –> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: moving down the field and doing what we know that

228
00:10:03,120 –> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 4: they can do, and they know that they can do

229
00:10:04,760 –> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 4: it as well. And then from there it seemed like

230
00:10:06,880 –> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: the guys were rolling the rest of the game. So

231
00:10:09,200 –> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 4: that confidence is so important, and I think when the

232
00:10:11,920 –> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 4: story of the season is told, we might look back

233
00:10:14,040 –> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: at that game, specifically that second half and think, man,

234
00:10:18,040 –> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: the season really took off from there, and that was

235
00:10:20,520 –> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: when the confidence was built that was sustained throughout the

236
00:10:23,240 –> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 4: rest of the year. I believe that, and I think

237
00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 4: overcoming that adversity in that Raiders game and finding that

238
00:10:28,400 –> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 4: success in the second half is a big big deal

239
00:10:31,000 –> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: as this team tries to chase down its goals.

240
00:10:33,640 –> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: So now we flipped a page to the pack. It’s

241
00:10:35,960 –> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: stacked versus the pack, and here’s the pack. What’s interesting

242
00:10:40,040 –> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: about this game full disclosure here. Other than Geha Field

243
00:10:42,800 –> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: at Arrowhead Stadium, this is my favorite place to go

244
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: for a game, haven’t. We’ve gone there a couple times

245
00:10:47,320 –> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason, not the same been there twice. The

246
00:10:49,920 –> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs have only gone to Lambeau. Think about the chief

247
00:10:52,640 –> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: sixty four year history, only five times. Five times in

248
00:10:56,720 –> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: history and two in my brief tenures thirty year voice

249
00:11:00,280 –> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs. But it’s really an interesting study.

250
00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: First of all, where we stay green Bay small. It’s

251
00:11:07,559 –> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: the size of Saint Joseph or Topeka. Wow, that’s the

252
00:11:11,720 –> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: size of Green Bay, Wisconsin. It’s not big. And we

253
00:11:14,840 –> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: stay in a smaller town, I won’t disclose, not a

254
00:11:17,520 –> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: smaller town, but a town.

255
00:11:18,880 –> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: But you travel a half hour.

256
00:11:20,320 –> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: Through soybean fields and cornfields to get the Lambeau. You

257
00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: see it on the horizon. It’s like ten miles away,

258
00:11:25,920 –> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: but you can see it glowing. Especially with Sunday night football,

259
00:11:28,320 –> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: the lights will be on and you can see it

260
00:11:30,800 –> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: long before you get there.

261
00:11:31,880 –> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: It’s like when you go to.

262
00:11:32,800 –> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: Alaska and you’ll see Dnali right yeah, and it’s four

263
00:11:35,160 –> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: hundred miles away ago there it is. But this is

264
00:11:38,520 –> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: such a remarkable place and the history of this place

265
00:11:42,200 –> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: is amazing. It’s really the origin of the National Football

266
00:11:45,880 –> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: League as you think about it, nineteen twenty one, the

267
00:11:47,720 –> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: ACME Packers, but you feel all that going into this game,

268
00:11:51,760 –> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: and it’s a great thing to feel. You also feel

269
00:11:53,920 –> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: Super Bowl One, the very first Super Bowl where the

270
00:11:56,640 –> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Packers and I know the Kingdom defenders.

271
00:12:00,160 –> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: You.

272
00:12:00,280 –> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: When you come to visit the pilgrimage to Geha Field

273
00:12:03,800 –> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: at Earlyhead Stadium, you feel all of the tradition that

274
00:12:06,679 –> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Matt and I talk about that sixty five TPT presents

275
00:12:09,360 –> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: to you all year long. You sense it, you feel it.

276
00:12:12,800 –> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: It’s even more history. Think about the Chiefs started as

277
00:12:15,280 –> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: the Texans in nineteen sixty in Dallas. Go back another

278
00:12:19,760 –> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: forty years and that’s the history of the Packers.

279
00:12:22,720 –> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: Super cool.

280
00:12:23,400 –> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: I’ve never been there, so this will be my first

281
00:12:25,200 –> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 4: time ever going to Lambeau and I’m super excited about

282
00:12:27,640 –> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 4: it for all the reasons that you mentioned, just the

283
00:12:30,120 –> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 4: history of the NFL. It’s so cool that this venue

284
00:12:32,720 –> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 4: still exists after decades of football being played there. And

285
00:12:37,679 –> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: I’m also excited that we’re going there in December. It

286
00:12:39,920 –> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 4: wouldn’t feel right going to the frozen tundra in September, right,

287
00:12:43,720 –> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 4: It wouldn’t be the same some I’m super pumped to

288
00:12:45,600 –> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 4: go there in December and hopefully we get a big win.

289
00:12:48,320 –> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Just that we want to have all those cornfields and

290
00:12:50,080 –> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: soybean fields to go through. And we’ve gone there before

291
00:12:52,320 –> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: in the fall that’s done picked in, harvested and they’re

292
00:12:54,720 –> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: getting ready for next year. But yes, it will be

293
00:12:58,000 –> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: cold and snowy, so we will go experience of the

294
00:13:01,520 –> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: frozen tundra. And I always go down to the point

295
00:13:03,720 –> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: of the bart Star sneak on the coldest day ever

296
00:13:06,440 –> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: a football game was played when they beat the Dallas Cowboys.

297
00:13:09,200 –> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: I always do that. It’s traditional.

298
00:13:10,640 –> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 1: I’ll go down when we do field pass, I will

299
00:13:12,760 –> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: go to the one yard line where he snuck in.

300
00:13:15,320 –> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have been there in my tenure twice prior

301
00:13:18,120 –> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: to that three times. The Chiefs, though, had a glorious

302
00:13:21,040 –> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: victory there in two thousand and three, very improbable victory,

303
00:13:24,440 –> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: part of the nine and zero start that year. But

304
00:13:27,000 –> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: this brings you back to your childhood.

305
00:13:29,000 –> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, So two thousand and three, I was probably

306
00:13:31,880 –> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 4: like ten years old, twelve years old, and I remember

307
00:13:35,080 –> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 4: listening to the game on the radio, listening to you.

308
00:13:37,520 –> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: My dad and I were fishing and I remember you

309
00:13:39,960 –> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 4: going crazy when Eddie Kennison caught that game winning touchdown,

310
00:13:42,840 –> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 4: and it’s one of my favorite early memories as a

311
00:13:45,520 –> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: Chiefs fan where I was like, I’m all in, I’m

312
00:13:48,240 –> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 4: hitch to this wagon. This is my squad for the

313
00:13:50,120 –> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: rest of my life, and such a fun game. I’ve

314
00:13:53,320 –> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 4: in my current role, had a chance to talk to

315
00:13:55,120 –> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 4: Trent Green about that game, talk to Eddie Kennison about

316
00:13:57,520 –> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 4: that game, and it’s one of those things that we’ve

317
00:14:00,480 –> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 4: had all the success now and Chiefs Kingdom over the

318
00:14:02,400 –> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 4: last several years, but those moments are the ones I

319
00:14:04,840 –> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 4: always look back on and I think about like my

320
00:14:07,320 –> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: foundation as a Chiefs fan. And I can still see

321
00:14:09,760 –> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: Kennison running in the end zone because of course we

322
00:14:11,480 –> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 4: recorded it and I went home and watched the whole

323
00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 4: game and just an awesome moment here in Chiefs Kingdom.

324
00:14:16,360 –> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 5: Did you catch any fish?

325
00:14:17,880 –> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 4: I think so?

326
00:14:18,600 –> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

327
00:14:19,200 –> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 4: So I was a boy scout, so my dad and

328
00:14:20,760 –> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 4: now were working on the fishing merit badge and you.

329
00:14:23,600 –> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: Got that merrit batch. I sure did. Yep.

330
00:14:25,240 –> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 5: Were you an eagle scout?

331
00:14:26,280 –> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

332
00:14:26,840 –> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, I’m telling you it’s a who another level

333
00:14:29,440 –> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: with this dude, and they got the fishing merit badge.

334
00:14:31,880 –> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: You fished the day.

335
00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: And what’s forgotten in that game was the pick six

336
00:14:35,800 –> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: by Jerome Woods Rick Brett Fahr of the Gunslinger. It’s

337
00:14:39,760 –> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: the first time the Packers ever and I think about

338
00:14:41,960 –> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: their history going back to nineteen twenty one, had lost

339
00:14:45,160 –> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: a seventeenth a seventeen point lead in the fourth quarter,

340
00:14:48,720 –> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: and it started with a ricochet pass from farv off

341
00:14:52,560 –> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: a helmet that Jerome Woods brought it back all the

342
00:14:54,680 –> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: way for a pick six that started the whole sequence

343
00:14:57,440 –> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: of events to win an overtime. The Packers were driving

344
00:15:01,200 –> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: with the ball they a’mon green, got stripped of the

345
00:15:03,680 –> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: ball and a refumble recovery by the Chiefs near midfield,

346
00:15:06,760 –> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: and then they had a corner go down and they

347
00:15:08,640 –> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: put like bow wow, Joe guy into the game. It

348
00:15:10,840 –> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: was like bow Joe or Joe bow or something. They go,

349
00:15:13,320 –> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: we’re going right after him, and there goes Kennison a touchdown.

350
00:15:16,160 –> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs went an overtime in a historic win at Lambeau.

351
00:15:19,760 –> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: Quickly as we closed though, let’s just talk about this game.

352
00:15:23,480 –> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: The Packers and Jordan Love. They moved on from Aaron

353
00:15:25,800 –> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: Rodgers to go to Jordan Love. We saw Jordan Love

354
00:15:28,000 –> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: start against the Chiefs in twenty twenty one when Aaron

355
00:15:30,680 –> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Rodgers had COVID. There was no Rogers Mahomes matchup in

356
00:15:33,600 –> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: that game. But Jordan Loved the last four games has

357
00:15:36,880 –> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: really shown I think what the Packers believed in that

358
00:15:40,240 –> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: he would be. And again this is very similar when

359
00:15:43,440 –> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had played the Broncos this year or played

360
00:15:45,600 –> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: the Raiders last week. They’re playing a team on an

361
00:15:48,360 –> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: uptick because they obliterated the Lions on Thanksgiving Day, which

362
00:15:53,600 –> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: is not easy to do a Piclary good Lions team.

363
00:15:56,360 –> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 4: And the key was the Lions gave the Packers a

364
00:15:58,200 –> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: lot of short fields and it shows that no matter

365
00:16:00,520 –> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 4: who you’re playing, and the Chiefs have dealt with this

366
00:16:02,600 –> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 4: during this season, if you give teams opportunities in short fields,

367
00:16:06,240 –> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 4: good teams are going to make you pay for it.

368
00:16:07,840 –> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 4: And the Packers did that against Detroit. And this is

369
00:16:10,120 –> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 4: a Packer team playing with a lot of confidence right now.

370
00:16:12,960 –> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: Look at Jordan Love. So on the year, he has

371
00:16:15,680 –> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 4: nineteen touchdown passes, ten interceptions, but in his last four

372
00:16:19,200 –> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 4: games where the Packers are three to one, eight touchdowns,

373
00:16:22,120 –> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: two interceptions, playing really good football passer rating north of

374
00:16:25,040 –> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 4: one hundred. He struggled under pressure this year in general,

375
00:16:28,040 –> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 4: but in that four game stretch a lot better under

376
00:16:30,640 –> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 4: pressure making good decisions. I mean, he’s a former first

377
00:16:33,040 –> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 4: round pick that had the luxury of sitting behind Aaron

378
00:16:35,040 –> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 4: Rodgers for a couple of years, So he has the talent.

379
00:16:37,440 –> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 4: I think he has the cerebral wherewithal to be a

380
00:16:39,800 –> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: pretty good quarterback in this league. And we’re seeing him

381
00:16:42,040 –> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 4: really put it together here. And he has some good

382
00:16:44,200 –> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: weapons on this offense, guys like Romeo Dobbs, Jaden Reid

383
00:16:48,360 –> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: rookie at a Michigan State, really good player, and then

384
00:16:50,960 –> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: also Christian Watson and Dantavion Wicks. Each of those guys

385
00:16:54,920 –> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 4: is averaging over sixteen yards per catch. So this offense

386
00:16:58,240 –> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: likes to throw the ball around. Love so far, particularly lately,

387
00:17:02,320 –> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: has been pretty solid this season.

388
00:17:03,880 –> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: One thing they did in the Detroit game was they

389
00:17:07,040 –> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: made they took shots early in the game. For ten weeks,

390
00:17:10,480 –> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: so think about where the Chiefs were in like that

391
00:17:12,960 –> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: first of it possession of the third quarter. The Packers

392
00:17:16,119 –> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: for ten games had only scored twenty first quarter points.

393
00:17:19,480 –> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: They were at the bottom of the league or near

394
00:17:21,480 –> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: the bottom. They decided against Detroit forget it, we’re taking shots.

395
00:17:26,200 –> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: Got one to watch in early that got things going.

396
00:17:28,680 –> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: And so for the Chiefs, I think they have to

397
00:17:30,760 –> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: be aware of that because Green Bay saw a little

398
00:17:33,960 –> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: bit of a form you of like, well, let’s go

399
00:17:35,560 –> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: for it early here, because the first quarter had been

400
00:17:38,480 –> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: what the third quarter had been to the Chiefs.

401
00:17:40,440 –> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 4: They have twenty five passing plays of twenty five or

402
00:17:43,119 –> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 4: more yards at sixth in the NFL. It’s one of

403
00:17:45,720 –> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 4: those things where you have Jordan Love, a first round quarterback,

404
00:17:49,160 –> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 4: figure out what he can do and just take the

405
00:17:51,040 –> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: training wheels off and fire the football downfield. And he’s

406
00:17:54,240 –> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: having success with it because he has the receivers who

407
00:17:56,600 –> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 4: can create separation deep down the field. It’ll be a

408
00:17:59,560 –> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 4: tough task for the Chiefs defense, but we’ve talked about

409
00:18:02,280 –> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: how Trent McDuffie and Lagerias Snead might be the best

410
00:18:04,760 –> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 4: cornerback duo in the NFL. They’ve shut down all these

411
00:18:07,440 –> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 4: number one wide receivers across the league. The guys in

412
00:18:10,320 –> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 4: Green Bay might not be household names at the moment,

413
00:18:12,440 –> 00:18:14,239
Speaker 4: but they’re good players and there’ll be a challenge here

414
00:18:14,280 –> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 4: on Sunday.

415
00:18:15,359 –> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: So again for ten weeks twenty points total in the

416
00:18:18,000 –> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: first quarter. They had twenty points in the first quarter

417
00:18:20,240 –> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: against the Lions. Now you talk about short fields, A

418
00:18:22,840 –> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: lot of that was caused by their defensive pressure. And

419
00:18:26,040 –> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: these guys, some of these names are familiar. Rashaun Gary’s

420
00:18:28,600 –> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: been around a while, we faced him before, and then

421
00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: you look also at Kenny Clark, who had a big

422
00:18:33,080 –> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: game that in Kennyson his eighth year. Now they’re beaten

423
00:18:36,359 –> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: up on the defensive secondary. We’ll see how the injury

424
00:18:39,520 –> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: reports come this week, but they can pressure the quarterback.

425
00:18:42,720 –> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: This is a team that’s top six in the league

426
00:18:44,560 –> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: in pressures. Yeah, they can get pressure.

427
00:18:46,359 –> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 4: Rashaan Garry is really the main culprit of that, having

428
00:18:48,920 –> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 4: an icy year eight and a half sacks for sacks

429
00:18:51,160 –> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 4: in his last two games, so good player, forty pressures

430
00:18:54,400 –> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 4: on the year. They have multiple guys along their defensive

431
00:18:57,119 –> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 4: front though, that can get pressure on the quarterback, Guys

432
00:18:59,200 –> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 4: like Kenny Clark thirty five pressures, Presston Smith thirty pressures,

433
00:19:02,640 –> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 4: and Devonte Wyatt, a guy I liked a lot out

434
00:19:04,520 –> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 4: of Georgia a couple of years ago. As twenty eight pressures.

435
00:19:07,560 –> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 4: These guys are good against the pass in general. They’re

436
00:19:10,280 –> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: allowing just over two hundred passing yards per game. It’s

437
00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 4: ninth in the NFL, so pretty good. Only fifteen passing

438
00:19:15,680 –> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: plays at twenty five or more yards, fourth fewest in

439
00:19:18,359 –> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 4: the NFL. Have struggled against the run a bit though.

440
00:19:21,400 –> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: They’re allowing one hundred and thirty five yards on the

441
00:19:23,280 –> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 4: ground on average. Forty two rushing plays allowed of ten

442
00:19:26,560 –> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 4: or more yards. It’s fifth most in the NFL, and

443
00:19:28,960 –> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 4: they’ve allowed at least one hundred rushing yards on the

444
00:19:30,840 –> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 4: ground and seven of their eleven games. So we saw

445
00:19:34,359 –> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 4: Isaiah Pacheco have a pretty nice day eighty nine yards

446
00:19:36,880 –> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: from scrimmage against the Raiders last week. We’ll see what

447
00:19:39,320 –> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 4: he can do. And Rushi Rice, who we’re going to

448
00:19:41,400 –> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 4: talk to here momentarily looking to see what he can

449
00:19:43,880 –> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 4: do against this Packer’s defense. Because Rushi is like a

450
00:19:46,680 –> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 4: running back in the open field. That’s what Mike Borganzi

451
00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: said about him when we first drafted him. He’s not

452
00:19:51,040 –> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: someone who’s going to go down at first contact. So

453
00:19:53,040 –> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 4: even though this Packer’s defense is good against the pass,

454
00:19:55,240 –> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 4: I’m curious to see how they can use Rushi Rice

455
00:19:57,359 –> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 4: as a quasi running back against them on Sunday.

456
00:20:00,920 –> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: So with Rashie here, now, let’s bring him in and

457
00:20:03,920 –> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 1: talk about how he can stack up eight catches, one

458
00:20:06,280 –> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: hundred and seven yards and a touchdown key plays the

459
00:20:09,600 –> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: first one hundred yard receiver this year not named Travis Kelsey,

460
00:20:13,320 –> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and can he do it against the pack? Awesome to

461
00:20:16,920 –> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: have this guy with us on defending the Kingdom. We’re

462
00:20:19,520 –> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 1: talking about stacking him up, so we’re going to stack

463
00:20:23,080 –> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: it up. But first of all, this will be the

464
00:20:25,359 –> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: official announcement of how to pronounce his name, because this

465
00:20:28,560 –> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: has been chopped up ever since you got here. So

466
00:20:32,720 –> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: here’s the drum roll. Your name is pronounced Rashi Rice,

467
00:20:37,280 –> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: Rashi Rice, not Rashi Rashi Rice, Rashi Rice.

468
00:20:42,240 –> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 5: We got it all right, Kingdom. Now, you know, it’s

469
00:20:44,520 –> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 5: awesome to have you here.

470
00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: And first of all, congratulations on an incredible game against

471
00:20:48,480 –> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. How good was it not only to get

472
00:20:51,040 –> 00:20:53,679
Speaker 1: to the number, but the big catches you may.

473
00:20:54,920 –> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: It was great.

474
00:20:56,080 –> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 6: I did it before, you know, the last one where

475
00:20:58,080 –> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 6: I finally got one hundred yards. I didn’t even know

476
00:21:00,960 –> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: how many yards I had in that game. And you

477
00:21:03,080 –> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 6: know when I came off the field, I still didn’t know.

478
00:21:05,520 –> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 6: I found out when I was doing a jersey swap,

479
00:21:07,359 –> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 6: and I was like, I should have kept my jersey.

480
00:21:10,480 –> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 6: I I got to contact my homeboy and get that

481
00:21:12,840 –> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 6: jersey back. To be honest, who just swap it with

482
00:21:15,640 –> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 6: my friend Chris from Georgia.

483
00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 5: Okay, Chris, let’s get it back. We’ll get you another

484
00:21:20,040 –> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 5: number four.

485
00:21:20,520 –> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I get it another jersey.

486
00:21:21,960 –> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

487
00:21:22,880 –> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: What I think is cool about that game is a

488
00:21:25,600 –> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 4: lot of those yards were in big moments, and Patrick

489
00:21:28,080 –> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 4: showed trust in you in major moments. I think about

490
00:21:30,400 –> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 4: the first scoring drive, it was third and eight. You

491
00:21:32,840 –> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 4: had a ten yard catch, really strong grab later in

492
00:21:35,840 –> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 4: the game, like a backyard football kind of play. On

493
00:21:37,840 –> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 4: the first scoring drive of the second half, Patrick’s running

494
00:21:40,520 –> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 4: one way and you get open and you catch the

495
00:21:42,640 –> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 4: ball for him. Then of course the touchdown was on

496
00:21:44,640 –> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: third down.

497
00:21:45,440 –> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

498
00:21:45,720 –> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 4: What’s it mean to you that your quarterback trusts you

499
00:21:47,840 –> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 4: in those moments and you’re coming through in those moments.

500
00:21:51,119 –> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: I mean it means everything for me.

501
00:21:53,320 –> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 6: From him obviously being a great quarterback, He’s been playing

502
00:21:56,320 –> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 6: around a lot of great receivers, so for him to

503
00:21:58,960 –> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 6: trust me as a rookie right now, obviously I’m not

504
00:22:01,800 –> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 6: looking too far down the road, but it just shows

505
00:22:04,200 –> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 6: me how much growth I have over time with him.

506
00:22:07,119 –> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: It looked like on the nineteen yard or on the

507
00:22:08,960 –> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: first drive of the third quarter, which has kind of

508
00:22:10,840 –> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: been the bugaboo drive we get a TD, it looked

509
00:22:13,520 –> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: like a signed adjustment. How much would you have to

510
00:22:15,840 –> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: adjust on that play to make that play happen?

511
00:22:20,280 –> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 4: I had to just a lot, to be honest.

512
00:22:22,400 –> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 6: If I wouldn’t have ran while I ran, trave would

513
00:22:25,440 –> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 6: have got that ball.

514
00:22:26,160 –> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 2: I looked at. I looked at the play a.

515
00:22:27,320 –> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 6: Couple of times, and I’m glad that I made the

516
00:22:30,160 –> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 6: play how I did, because if I would have been

517
00:22:32,840 –> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 6: in the way, if the play wouldn’t have you know

518
00:22:35,800 –> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 6: how it went, and it would have been all.

519
00:22:37,760 –> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: Bad for us right there.

520
00:22:39,640 –> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 4: So you never go down at first contact. That play

521
00:22:41,840 –> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 4: is an example of that. You forced a misstackle. Where’s

522
00:22:44,840 –> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 4: that mentality come from? That you’re gonna run over guys?

523
00:22:47,240 –> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 4: You’re never going to go down at first contact.

524
00:22:50,600 –> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 6: I mean when I grew up, I was a running

525
00:22:53,280 –> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 6: back my whole life until high school, so I always

526
00:22:56,160 –> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 6: had to like I never really was scared of contact,

527
00:22:59,240 –> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 6: so I had to run through line and stuff like

528
00:23:00,960 –> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 6: that at the time, and now it’s kind of like

529
00:23:02,760 –> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 6: I can use that to my advantage as a wide

530
00:23:04,359 –> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 6: receiver because a lot of other wide receivers they don’t

531
00:23:07,119 –> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 6: have that same you know mentality, you know after they

532
00:23:09,800 –> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 6: make the catch.

533
00:23:10,600 –> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 4: Definitely not this guy.

534
00:23:12,160 –> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: He plays.

535
00:23:13,080 –> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: I love seeing it when you I go here comes

536
00:23:14,880 –> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: You’re trying to tackle him, like this ain’t gonna work

537
00:23:16,760 –> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: out well.

538
00:23:17,359 –> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 4: The Chargers game was the best.

539
00:23:21,640 –> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 2: One fun question.

540
00:23:22,440 –> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: We’ll let you go Rashi this stacking them up, because

541
00:23:25,600 –> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: that’s our theme of this podcast today is to stack

542
00:23:28,480 –> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: him up. This league is about stacking him up. How

543
00:23:30,359 –> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: do you stack him up and attack the Packer game?

544
00:23:34,320 –> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 6: I mean it already started to be honest. Uh first,

545
00:23:37,400 –> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 6: you know, first day back, we’re in the weight room.

546
00:23:40,000 –> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 6: I feel like you can’t be explosive on the field

547
00:23:41,880 –> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 6: without getting your legs ready, you know. Get back to

548
00:23:43,800 –> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 6: practice and then uh, we’re going to get in that

549
00:23:46,200 –> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 6: meeting room, get our plays together, and then take it

550
00:23:48,560 –> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 6: straight to the field. Make sure that we can have

551
00:23:50,200 –> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 6: a play. You a practice full of execution instead of

552
00:23:53,640 –> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 6: you know, practice some bad habits.

553
00:23:55,960 –> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 5: Ready to stack up another houndo maybe and go get the.

554
00:23:58,560 –> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: Packers Rosie Riss there.

555
00:24:01,560 –> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: So exciting to see that performance, so exciting to see

556
00:24:04,880 –> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: him and what he can be. But again it’s now,

557
00:24:07,880 –> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: can he stack it up, because you get real excited

558
00:24:10,520 –> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: if he has a game like that this week.

559
00:24:12,640 –> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: Definitely. So you look at his the percentage of snaps

560
00:24:15,480 –> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 4: he played last week against the Raiders, he played sixty

561
00:24:17,680 –> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 4: seven percent of the offensive snaps. His snap counts have

562
00:24:20,480 –> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: steadily gone up all season. That sixty seven percent mark

563
00:24:23,640 –> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: is the second highest of the year for him. He

564
00:24:25,280 –> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 4: played sixty eight percent of the snaps against the Dolphins.

565
00:24:28,240 –> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: So if he can kind of settle in at that

566
00:24:30,040 –> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 4: seventy percent of the offensive snaps area, he’s going to

567
00:24:32,760 –> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 4: get opportunities in the offense. And we saw it against

568
00:24:35,640 –> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 4: the Raiders last week. And again, I can’t say this enough.

569
00:24:38,960 –> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 4: It’s so exciting the different situations he thrived in against

570
00:24:42,680 –> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 4: Las Vegas, important situations in the game. It wasn’t just

571
00:24:45,920 –> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 4: empty yards. It wasn’t like one big eighty five yard

572
00:24:48,600 –> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 4: play at the end of the game. It was big moments.

573
00:24:51,080 –> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 4: It was third down. It’s when Patrick Mahomes is scrambling

574
00:24:53,480 –> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: looking for an option, he sees Roshie Rice and he

575
00:24:55,840 –> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: trusts him to catch the football. That’s really important stuff.

576
00:24:58,880 –> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 4: Building that confidence right now at this point in the season.

577
00:25:01,800 –> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 4: And he’s so far, I mean, the last several weeks

578
00:25:04,119 –> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 4: looked really, really good. He should have seven touchdowns. He

579
00:25:07,640 –> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 4: has tackled at the one yard line twice against the Bears.

580
00:25:09,960 –> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 4: I can’t get off of this. He should have seven

581
00:25:11,440 –> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 4: touchdowns this year. Just a really exciting young player here

582
00:25:15,520 –> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 4: in this offense. Awesome dude, Super excited to get to

583
00:25:18,280 –> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 4: know him a little bit better and let’s see where

584
00:25:20,880 –> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 4: he goes from here. But you’re right, you have a

585
00:25:22,720 –> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 4: great game. That’s awesome. It’s about turning the page and

586
00:25:25,400 –> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 4: moving on doing the same thing now against the Packers.

587
00:25:28,240 –> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 2: So here’s how you do this.

588
00:25:29,560 –> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: It’ll be easier for those of you in the southern

589
00:25:31,760 –> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: United States or those of you around the world in

590
00:25:34,520 –> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: the southern hemisphere. Do what Matt did in what that

591
00:25:38,080 –> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: would be twenty years ago, and that is go fishing

592
00:25:41,040 –> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: with your dad or mom and listen to the game.

593
00:25:45,560 –> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: I get Chiefs and Packers right now, watch us first

594
00:25:48,560 –> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 1: on field pass on Facebook Live, and then you can

595
00:25:51,880 –> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: listen to the game and go fishing, catch some fish

596
00:25:54,320 –> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: and maybe be exciting. Chiefs victory and maybe Matt the

597
00:25:57,480 –> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs will stack it up against the pack.

598
00:26:00,440 –> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 5: Oh thinking, sting
