Speaker 1: with senior team reporter Matt McMullen, were entitling this episode

15
00:00:49,360 –> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom both ends of the spectrum because

16
00:00:52,840 –> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: we’re going to talk about what this Sunday is and

17
00:00:56,520 –> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: it’s a big time historical game. We’re going to talk

18
00:01:00,080 –> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: about a very exciting rookie that we’re both excited about,

19
00:01:03,480 –> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: and then we’ll get you ready for this Chiefs and

20
00:01:05,240 –> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: Pats matchup. But Matt, before we do that. I always

21
00:01:08,440 –> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: love to jump into your satellite and travel around the

22
00:01:11,240 –> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Earth and see who’s defending the kingdom.

23
00:01:13,240 –> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, we’ve got five today. So we heard from Josh

24
00:01:16,000 –> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 4: and Joplin, Missouri. I’ve still never been to Joplin.

25
00:01:19,400 –> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

26
00:01:19,959 –> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish you could. When you go to Joplin,

27
00:01:24,640 –> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: we need to do the before and after, Okay, because

28
00:01:27,319 –> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: of the two mile by eight mile basically it looked

29
00:01:30,400 –> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: like a World War two bombed city.

30
00:01:32,640 –> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: It was a tornado tornado gone, gone, gone.

31
00:01:35,440 –> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: And you and I both have a mutual friend in

32
00:01:37,000 –> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: Austin Woodard, who was a hero of the Joplin tornado

33
00:01:39,920 –> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: because he’s he’s also a first responder, and the stories

34
00:01:44,160 –> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: are just chilling about that. But the way that city

35
00:01:47,520 –> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: is built back and now you look at that two

36
00:01:49,360 –> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: miles by eight miles and you’re going, oh my gosh,

37
00:01:51,840 –> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: it’s a miracle.

38
00:01:52,520 –> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 5: That’s really cool.

39
00:01:53,280 –> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we’ll do that sometime. Another field trip for you

40
00:01:55,440 –> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: and me to go to Joplin.

41
00:01:56,280 –> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to take DTK on the road one

42
00:01:58,280 –> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: of these days. There’d be a lot of fun. Get

43
00:01:59,760 –> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: like a like a caravan. Here’s where I want to

44
00:02:02,920 –> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 4: do it.

45
00:02:03,120 –> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: If it’s a nice day, we would do it right

46
00:02:04,760 –> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: at twentieth in Range Line, which was the ground zero

47
00:02:08,800 –> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: of one of the most devastating tornadoes in the history

48
00:02:11,600 –> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: of the Earth. Yeah, it’s almost like an F six.

49
00:02:15,040 –> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: That thing was so powerful, like it moved the hospital

50
00:02:17,600 –> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: off of its foundation and one hundred and sixty one

51
00:02:20,840 –> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: people were killed tragically, but another it could have been

52
00:02:24,080 –> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: a thousand, one sixty one. One of the grace of

53
00:02:27,560 –> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: God was that they did not have their commencement at

54
00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: Joplin High School that day, which was completely like eviscerated.

55
00:02:37,040 –> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: They had it at Missouri Southern State University, which is

56
00:02:39,639 –> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: in the northern part of town, and if it would

57
00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: have been at Joplin High it just would have been.

58
00:02:44,360 –> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: It was awful the way it was. It’s unthinkable what

59
00:02:47,080 –> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: it would have been.

60
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 4: Wow, unbelievable. Well, we’ll do that though, we’ll have to go.

61
00:02:50,600 –> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 4: I’ll look forward to it. Shout out to Josh. We

62
00:02:53,360 –> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 4: also heard from Nick from the Tri Cities in Washington.

63
00:02:55,880 –> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 4: We’ve heard from Nick before, all right. He wanted to

64
00:02:58,000 –> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: shout out. His mom, Mary doesn’t like to fly, but

65
00:03:01,280 –> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: she got on a plane with Nick a couple weeks

66
00:03:03,200 –> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: ago so they could go to the game in Vegas

67
00:03:05,560 –> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: and see a Chief victory. So very cool. Shout out

68
00:03:07,760 –> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: to you, Mary. I’m glad you guys went to the game.

69
00:03:10,160 –> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: We heard from Sawyer, who is from Aurora, Missouri, but

70
00:03:13,480 –> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 4: is now living in Sunrise, Florida. His wife is from

71
00:03:16,280 –> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: Maryland and a big Ravens fan. But she bought her

72
00:03:19,280 –> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: first bit of Chief Skier last week, so she’s on

73
00:03:21,720 –> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 4: the right track here.

74
00:03:22,720 –> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: And have you ever wont about marriage counseling in these deals?

75
00:03:25,560 –> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 5: Well I kind of went through this myself.

76
00:03:27,200 –> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, had that go.

77
00:03:28,720 –> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: Well, I’ve successfully done it. So Ellie my evangelized.

78
00:03:32,240 –> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: I have big time because so she is from Colorado,

79
00:03:35,200 –> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 4: she’s a Broncos fan growing up, but I have completely

80
00:03:37,880 –> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: converted her over the years. We met in twenty sixteen,

81
00:03:41,880 –> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: and it took a couple of years, and I respect that,

82
00:03:44,080 –> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 4: like she was committed to her Broncos fandom, but I

83
00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: mean she is the biggest Chiefs fan on planet Earth now.

84
00:03:49,280 –> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: Like seriously, she’s as big a fan as I am

85
00:03:51,720 –> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 4: and as you are. So it is possible. Just stick

86
00:03:54,200 –> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: with it and it will pay off in the long run.

87
00:03:57,600 –> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 4: So good luck to Sawyer. Daniel in Springfield and Missouri.

88
00:04:01,520 –> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 4: And we heard from Rosta again, they wanted to shout

89
00:04:03,920 –> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: out their nephew Cove. So Rosta’s sister listens to DTK

90
00:04:08,000 –> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: while Cove is playing with toys like Cove is like

91
00:04:10,280 –> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: a child. So shout out to you, Cove, a Chiefs

92
00:04:12,960 –> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: fan in the making. Pretty cool, All right, Cove.

93
00:04:15,160 –> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: We’re going to do a show maybe with you playing toys.

94
00:04:17,680 –> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: We’ll just come play toys with Cove.

95
00:04:19,400 –> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

96
00:04:19,640 –> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: I like that name.

97
00:04:20,360 –> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 5: Maybe Cove will be a Chief one day. Who knows it.

98
00:04:21,880 –> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 2: Sounds like a quarterback Cove Cove.

99
00:04:23,800 –> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: I love it. And that’s that’s all we got today.

100
00:04:25,720 –> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Sorry, that one good. Yeah. So we’re talking about both

101
00:04:29,200 –> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: ends of the spectrum. Let’s do not let this moment pass.

102
00:04:32,600 –> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: And it’s one of my weaknesses, many weaknesses and flaws

103
00:04:36,560 –> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: in my character, is that I take things for granted.

104
00:04:39,520 –> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: Now you don’t, well, I try not to take this

105
00:04:42,240 –> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Sunday for granted. And the fact that we will have

106
00:04:45,520 –> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: on the sideline opposite sidelines Andy Reid coaching the Kansas

107
00:04:48,960 –> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, who has done unprecedented things in the history

108
00:04:53,279 –> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: of the National Football League. Keep in mind, the one

109
00:04:55,120 –> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: hundredth year of the league was the year that we

110
00:04:56,839 –> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: won Super Bowl fifty four, that would have been the

111
00:04:59,279 –> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season. So here we are in twenty twenty three,

112
00:05:02,720 –> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: advancing even further with the one hundred and fifth years.

113
00:05:04,839 –> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: So but in that one hundred and five years, two

114
00:05:09,120 –> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: of the top four coaches and wins playoffs and regular

115
00:05:12,920 –> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: season will meet on the same field in this game.

116
00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: We can get so caught up in the weeds of

117
00:05:19,240 –> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: what this game means in the context of twenty twenty

118
00:05:21,520 –> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: three that we can lose sight of the fact that

119
00:05:24,960 –> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: this is Shula against Landry, this is Lombardy against Hallas,

120
00:05:30,560 –> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: and we have that this week with Reed versus Bill Belichick.

121
00:05:33,839 –> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, just because both teams don’t have perfect records doesn’t

122
00:05:36,880 –> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: mean that it’s not a huge game in terms of history.

123
00:05:39,640 –> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: You’re totally right. It’s a really great point. You don’t

124
00:05:42,240 –> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: see matchups like this very often in the NFL. And

125
00:05:45,320 –> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: just because the Patriots are not having the season maybe

126
00:05:47,480 –> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 4: they were expecting to have, doesn’t take anything away from

127
00:05:50,480 –> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 4: the legend that coach Belichick is. And that’s why this

128
00:05:53,160 –> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: game is not an easy one for the Chiefs. It’s

129
00:05:55,920 –> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 4: going to be a challenge because coach Belichick is one

130
00:05:58,279 –> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 4: of the greatest coaches of all time.

131
00:06:00,279 –> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: He has six Super.

132
00:06:01,360 –> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: Bowl rings on his fingers for a reason, and it’s

133
00:06:04,520 –> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: going to be a challenge for the Chiefs once again.

134
00:06:06,160 –> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: But we’re so lucky that this is when we’re alive.

135
00:06:08,800 –> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: This is our iteration of being football fans. We get

136
00:06:11,160 –> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 4: to see two of the greatest of all time go

137
00:06:12,920 –> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: head to head and hopefully for the Chiefs it’s a

138
00:06:15,040 –> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: victory that gets them back on track.

139
00:06:16,760 –> 00:06:19,239
Speaker 1: You and I are both football historians. We love this league,

140
00:06:19,279 –> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: even like to dig back into the grand old days

141
00:06:22,160 –> 00:06:25,279
Speaker 1: way back then. But to think that these two coaches

142
00:06:25,279 –> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: are meeting in this game, and who knows how many

143
00:06:28,920 –> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: more times this could happen. Maybe this is it. We

144
00:06:31,080 –> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: don’t know, and we have seen some historic games. The

145
00:06:35,160 –> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen game in Foxborough was a game where it

146
00:06:39,880 –> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: was one of the first shots heard around the NFL

147
00:06:42,520 –> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: world that the Kansas City Chiefs were not just well,

148
00:06:44,680 –> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: they’re going to be okay every once in a while,

149
00:06:46,360 –> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: and maybe they’ll win a division every seven years or so.

150
00:06:50,120 –> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: That game which started the first back to back AFC

151
00:06:54,040 –> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: West Championship, when the Chiefs stunned the New England Patriots

152
00:06:58,000 –> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: forty two to twenty seven in the facility will being

153
00:07:00,279 –> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday was truly a Roman candle that was shot

154
00:07:05,440 –> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 1: throughout the NFL.

155
00:07:06,520 –> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 4: Sure, and even go further back twenty fourteen when the

156
00:07:10,200 –> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 4: noise record was set here in Kansas City just destroyed

157
00:07:13,800 –> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 4: the Patriots and Tom Brady was benched for half that game.

158
00:07:17,480 –> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: There’s been some amazing matchups between the Chiefs and the

159
00:07:19,720 –> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: Patriots over the years, and for so long, I mean

160
00:07:22,280 –> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 4: for two decades, the Patriots were the measuring stick. It’s

161
00:07:25,840 –> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 4: you know, we’re feeling really good, but can we beat

162
00:07:28,000 –> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: the Patriots? And I also think about the game in

163
00:07:29,960 –> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen where we went to Gillette beat the Patriots

164
00:07:33,600 –> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 4: late in the game and of course went on to

165
00:07:35,640 –> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 4: go win the Super Bowl. It’s interesting being a Chiefs

166
00:07:38,840 –> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 4: fan that you think about this franchise. Now the Chiefs

167
00:07:41,520 –> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 4: are the measuring stick in the NFL. We’ve kind of

168
00:07:44,120 –> 00:07:46,559
Speaker 4: assumed that role that the Patriots had for so long

169
00:07:47,320 –> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 4: and just trying to be that team year in and

170
00:07:49,280 –> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 4: year out. It’s very difficult to be a really good

171
00:07:51,800 –> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: team every single year. The Chiefs have accomplished that. With

172
00:07:55,000 –> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: one more win, the Chiefs will achieve an eleventh consecutive

173
00:07:58,480 –> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: winning season. Think about that. Eleven straight winning seasons. That’s

174
00:08:02,520 –> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 4: the standard the Patriots had forever, and that’s because of

175
00:08:05,720 –> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: coach Belichick and of course Tom Brady, but Belichick was

176
00:08:08,160 –> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: a huge part in that. And we’ll see another here

177
00:08:11,200 –> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 4: Chiefs and Patriots matchup. Kind of a different look than

178
00:08:13,880 –> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: in years past, but it’s still Chiefs and Patriots.

179
00:08:16,360 –> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: Another indication of greatness.

180
00:08:17,920 –> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: And I’m so into trying to win this division this year,

181
00:08:20,680 –> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: and you’re going, well, you don’t have parades for winning divisions,

182
00:08:23,080 –> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: just stop it, Okay, But there’s reasons, many reasons to

183
00:08:26,960 –> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: win the division this year beyond PREMI any other year.

184
00:08:31,720 –> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 2: And it’s the part of it’s the history.

185
00:08:33,400 –> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: If the Chiefs can get an eighth straight AFC West title,

186
00:08:36,400 –> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: it will be second only to the New England Patriots

187
00:08:38,720 –> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: eleven straight seasons of winning the AFC East. But these

188
00:08:43,080 –> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: two coaches that are meeting on Sunday are those two

189
00:08:46,960 –> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: coaches that had that instance of division dominance, and in

190
00:08:51,280 –> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: this era of the National Football League where really they’re second.

191
00:08:55,360 –> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: You don’t get any face cards if you win the

192
00:08:57,160 –> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: Super Bowl the year before, I get dealt face cards.

193
00:09:00,200 –> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: You have to get four of a kind with four

194
00:09:01,920 –> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: sixes to win. But that’s what Andy Reid has done,

195
00:09:05,120 –> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: and that’s why Bill Belichick has done. Let’s give the

196
00:09:07,320 –> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: hoodie a little bit of credit here, but they’ve won

197
00:09:09,840 –> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: in different ways, and that’s the sign of greatness is

198
00:09:13,320 –> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: that they’ve been able. And that’s where the twenty twenty

199
00:09:15,120 –> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: three Chiefs are. If we’re going to get this thing

200
00:09:16,800 –> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: figured out and sprint to the end, it’s doing it

201
00:09:20,920 –> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: with a different recipe than twenty two, twenty one, twenty

202
00:09:23,520 –> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: and nineteen. But Belichick also did that throughout his twenty

203
00:09:27,320 –> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: plus years as being the Patriots head coach.

204
00:09:29,360 –> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 4: Definitely, the Patriots really had two eras of championship football

205
00:09:33,640 –> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: because they have their three titles in four years. In

206
00:09:35,800 –> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 4: the early two thousands, those teams looked a lot different

207
00:09:38,600 –> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 4: when you compare him to the teams that he had

208
00:09:40,280 –> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: later on where Tom Brady was the MVP of the NFL.

209
00:09:43,840 –> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 4: Very different teams. And it’s a testament to coach Belichick

210
00:09:46,320 –> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 4: how he found ways to win in different ways. Coach

211
00:09:49,520 –> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 4: Reid is the exact same thing. One of my favorite

212
00:09:52,080 –> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 4: things to always look at is if you go look

213
00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 4: at coach Reed’s offense with the Eagles in like two

214
00:09:56,440 –> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 4: thousand looks a lot different than what he currently runs

215
00:09:58,920 –> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 4: here in Kansas City. Right, So many coaches have their

216
00:10:01,480 –> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 4: system and their thing and they’re the smartest guy ever,

217
00:10:03,880 –> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: and they come in and this is going to work. Right,

218
00:10:06,200 –> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 4: this is better than what everyone else has. That’s not

219
00:10:08,679 –> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: coach Reid. Coach Red adapts and learns, and he’s constantly

220
00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 4: doing that. So if you again you look back at

221
00:10:14,240 –> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 4: like the two thousand season, Coach Reid, I believe ran

222
00:10:17,200 –> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 4: one snap, one snap out of the shotgun. The Chiefs

223
00:10:20,800 –> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 4: run probably seventy percent of their plays out of the

224
00:10:22,600 –> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 4: shotgun now. So his ability to adapt over time, and

225
00:10:25,760 –> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 4: that’s just one small example, is why he’s one of

226
00:10:27,880 –> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 4: the greatest coaches of all time. And it’s why so

227
00:10:30,080 –> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 4: many coaches show up in the NFL, they have some

228
00:10:32,520 –> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 4: success and they burn out. That’s not coach Red and

229
00:10:35,200 –> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 4: that’s not coach Belichick. These are two master innovators that

230
00:10:38,679 –> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 4: we’ve had a chance to watch here over the last

231
00:10:40,640 –> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 4: several decades. And once again they’ll go head to head.

232
00:10:44,400 –> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: So Belichick’s six Super Bowl championships are tip of the

233
00:10:48,120 –> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: cap to the hoodie again. Pretty good. But let’s keep

234
00:10:50,559 –> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: in mind everybody thinks Tom Brady gronk Man, They’re just

235
00:10:54,120 –> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: Randy Moss. They’re just putting up fifty points a game.

236
00:10:57,080 –> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: His first Super Bowl, Bill Belichick won twenty to see.

237
00:11:01,080 –> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: His last Super Bowl, he won thirteen to three. So

238
00:11:05,120 –> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: just keep in mind there’s different recipes and ways to

239
00:11:07,760 –> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: win for the Kansas City Chiefs and Ady Reid and

240
00:11:11,559 –> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick. But we’re talking

241
00:11:14,720 –> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: about two ends of the spectrum here, two of the

242
00:11:16,880 –> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: greatest coaches ever. Both will be in Canton, Ohio on

243
00:11:20,160 –> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, easily first ballot. But

244
00:11:23,480 –> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: now we’re going to transition to something far different. That’s

245
00:11:26,920 –> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: the other end of this timeline, and it’s someone who’s

246
00:11:30,320 –> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: getting their beginning in this league. And you and I

247
00:11:33,000 –> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 1: are both excited about offensive tackle Juanye Morris, part of

248
00:11:37,480 –> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three rookie class, had to fill in

249
00:11:41,480 –> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: with some injuries to Donovan Smith after a game had started,

250
00:11:45,240 –> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: and when I reviewed the video GOO or when I

251
00:11:47,280 –> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: reviewed the video of those times, I was like, oh

252
00:11:49,679 –> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, we might have something here. And then to

253
00:11:52,320 –> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: have him start against the Buffalo Bills. Not that it

254
00:11:55,120 –> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: was perfect, but Matt and I think you and I

255
00:11:57,640 –> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: share this same excitement.

256
00:11:59,040 –> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely.

257
00:12:00,360 –> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 4: Now it’s difficult with rookie offensive linemen because the only

258
00:12:03,920 –> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: way to find out if they can play is for

259
00:12:05,920 –> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 4: them to go out and play. But it’s not like

260
00:12:08,200 –> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 4: a receiver or a running back where you can rotate

261
00:12:10,480 –> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 4: them in Like you want your five guys in there

262
00:12:12,679 –> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: at all times. You don’t want to be rotating in

263
00:12:14,440 –> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: offensive lineman for your basic five, right, You can’t do that.

264
00:12:18,200 –> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: And we have a pretty good five here in Kyneta City.

265
00:12:20,480 –> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 4: And Wanier has been waiting for his opportunity if called upon.

266
00:12:24,559 –> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: He had eight offensive snaps prior to the Packers game

267
00:12:28,000 –> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 4: this year. There’s not a lot of opportunity. But then

268
00:12:30,360 –> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 4: Donovan Smith gets hurt in that game. Wanier has to

269
00:12:33,120 –> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 4: go in more than holds his own in that Packers game,

270
00:12:36,240 –> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: but then Donovan isn’t going to be able to go

271
00:12:38,120 –> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 4: against the Bills. Wanner becomes the starter at left tackle

272
00:12:41,760 –> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 4: against the Buffalo Bills who are fighting for their season,

273
00:12:44,240 –> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 4: and Von Miller like, all right, just go out there

274
00:12:46,640 –> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 4: and let’s see what you can do. And I think

275
00:12:48,320 –> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 4: he was great all things considered. I think he did

276
00:12:50,400 –> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 4: a great job. It’s very exciting looking at the construction

277
00:12:53,559 –> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: of this team moving forward. If Wannier Morris can be

278
00:12:56,720 –> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 4: a guy on this offensive line, and he’s got a

279
00:12:59,200 –> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: way to go. Mean, he needs to build on what

280
00:13:00,960 –> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 4: he did. But at least so far, so good.

281
00:13:03,520 –> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: And also is going up against Greg Russoe and for

282
00:13:06,679 –> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: a little bit Epinessa had the interception on the tip

283
00:13:09,800 –> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: pass and Floyd. I mean, that’s a group of dudes

284
00:13:13,880 –> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: on that Buffalo defensive front. A lot of you again

285
00:13:16,920 –> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: around the world that watch and listen to defending the Kingdom,

286
00:13:19,880 –> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: have access to the All twenty two. Go back and

287
00:13:22,200 –> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 1: watch the Buffalo Bills game. I’m going to give you

288
00:13:24,440 –> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: again not perfect because he gave up the pressure to

289
00:13:27,080 –> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: Von Miller that caused the incompletion thrown by Patrick Mahomes

290
00:13:30,600 –> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: that was initially ruled a fumble somehow, and then we

291
00:13:33,520 –> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: had to look at it for forty minutes and go,

292
00:13:35,080 –> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: oh no, it’s an incompletion. Don’t get me start on that.

293
00:13:38,640 –> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: But there’s two plays I want you to go back

294
00:13:40,720 –> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: and look at if you’ve got the ALL twenty two,

295
00:13:43,000 –> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: and that is one the touchdown run by Jerick McKinnon

296
00:13:46,440 –> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: of seven yards. Watch one Yea Morris on that play

297
00:13:49,880 –> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: completely destroys Greg Russo to the point where he waves

298
00:13:52,840 –> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: a white flag and go, I’m mom done here, I’m done.

299
00:13:56,000 –> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: The other one is the twenty plus yard screen pass

300
00:13:59,040 –> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: to Clyde Edwards, a lair opposite of where je Yer

301
00:14:02,520 –> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: lines up.

302
00:14:03,480 –> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: He’s playing left tackle.

303
00:14:04,640 –> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: He gets all the way to the numbers right and

304
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: makes key blocks on that screen.

305
00:14:08,920 –> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 2: It shows you hit that.

306
00:14:09,880 –> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: His athleticism so again, not perfect, but you and I

307
00:14:13,679 –> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: get excited over little things, and in this sense it

308
00:14:16,440 –> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: might be a big thing.

309
00:14:17,480 –> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 4: On Morris, Yeah, very excited about this dude. Incredibly nice guy.

310
00:14:22,840 –> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 4: Not when he’s on the field though, he has a

311
00:14:24,520 –> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 4: mean streak to him. He has a certain nastiness to

312
00:14:27,640 –> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: him that you need at that position. And I had

313
00:14:30,080 –> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 4: a chance earlier today to catch up with wan Yer

314
00:14:32,120 –> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: and ask about his first start as a pro. All right,

315
00:14:35,360 –> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 4: we’re joined now by Chiefs offensive tackle Juanier, Morris and Wanier.

316
00:14:39,040 –> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 4: What a game for you last week? You make your

317
00:14:41,160 –> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: first career start a left tackle, No big deal. You’re

318
00:14:44,240 –> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: facing the Buffalo Bills defensive line and Von Miller and

319
00:14:47,200 –> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 4: you were great. I mean, you more than held your own.

320
00:14:49,480 –> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 4: What was the experience like being out there and how

321
00:14:52,160 –> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 4: much fun was it finding success in your first career start?

322
00:14:55,560 –> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 6: It was surreal.

323
00:14:56,400 –> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: Man.

324
00:14:56,800 –> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 6: My only thing was just to go out there and

325
00:14:58,280 –> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 6: just ball do all you can do, because that’s all

326
00:15:00,880 –> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: you can do. You know, all you can do is

327
00:15:02,520 –> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 6: all you can do. And the first time I see

328
00:15:05,200 –> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 6: Vaughn line up against me, I’m like, oh my god,

329
00:15:08,240 –> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 6: I feel like I’m Maden or something. You know how

330
00:15:10,200 –> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 6: you are mad and you see Vaughn he got his

331
00:15:12,160 –> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 6: X factor on. I’m like, okay, just just be patient,

332
00:15:15,560 –> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 6: calm down, just do what you do. And just being

333
00:15:19,040 –> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 6: able to go and geinst that talent like that is

334
00:15:20,600 –> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 6: just a blessing, man, and say that. You got to

335
00:15:23,080 –> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 6: say I was successful doing it too. Man, I feel blessed. Blessed.

336
00:15:27,600 –> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 4: The tape doesn’t lie you were more than successful. I

337
00:15:29,800 –> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: mean you were awesome. And it says a lot because

338
00:15:32,400 –> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 4: before the Packers game, you had played eight offensive snaps.

339
00:15:35,280 –> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 2: This year.

340
00:15:35,680 –> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 4: You played a lot on special teams, but just eight

341
00:15:37,400 –> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: offensive snaps the Packers game. Donovan was trying to fight

342
00:15:40,760 –> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: through it, but eventually he couldn’t go and you had

343
00:15:42,920 –> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 4: to go into the fire and play. It’s a whole

344
00:15:45,360 –> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 4: different experience though, being a starter all week and getting

345
00:15:48,000 –> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 4: ready for the bills. What was the week like getting

346
00:15:50,120 –> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: ready for your first ever start.

347
00:15:52,880 –> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 6: The one thing I try to do is just always

348
00:15:54,880 –> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 6: prepare the same, you know, never change his preparation because

349
00:15:57,800 –> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 6: what was different from last week than this week. Always

350
00:16:00,880 –> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 6: prepare the same. But one thing I did try to

351
00:16:03,280 –> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 6: do was just hyping on in details a little more

352
00:16:05,160 –> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 6: than usual.

353
00:16:05,720 –> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: You know, if he.

354
00:16:07,080 –> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 6: Say travel low, I’m traveling a little lower. I’m over

355
00:16:09,640 –> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 6: exaggerating it, just so you know, I get in the game,

356
00:16:12,320 –> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 6: it happens just right.

357
00:16:14,320 –> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: Obviously I didn’t do everything right.

358
00:16:16,080 –> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 6: I just want to go in and see what I

359
00:16:18,440 –> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 6: did wrong and just fix those mistakes.

360
00:16:20,440 –> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: Obviously, you guys are gonna help. Having Trey out there with.

361
00:16:23,320 –> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 6: You definitely, U It definitely boosts the confidence, you know,

362
00:16:26,560 –> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 6: because seeing I play with I play with guys like this.

363
00:16:29,120 –> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 6: I played with that guy, and we’re thing there going

364
00:16:31,880 –> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 6: against the same competition just a little bit better. So

365
00:16:36,360 –> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 6: I’m just out there thinking, Okay, these guys got my back.

366
00:16:39,320 –> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: I know.

367
00:16:40,040 –> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 6: I know if I mess up, they’re gonna pick up

368
00:16:41,560 –> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 6: my head and just say let’s keep going one. Yeah,

369
00:16:43,520 –> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 6: like this is welcome to the NFL. This is what

370
00:16:46,000 –> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 6: it is. So you’re gonna have to get your mind

371
00:16:47,880 –> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 6: ready for that. And that’s what he did a good

372
00:16:50,280 –> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 6: job telling me. You know, just keep your head up.

373
00:16:52,520 –> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 6: You’re gonna make mistakes, just keep going. You know, he

374
00:16:54,920 –> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 6: got a full game ahead of you.

375
00:16:57,000 –> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: For listeners that don’t know, Jany Ain’t Trey played together

376
00:16:59,480 –> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 4: at Tennessee for two years, I believe, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty.

377
00:17:02,880 –> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 4: It’s even funnier because in camp we had a guy

378
00:17:05,080 –> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 4: by the name of Jerome Carvin here. Yes, you, Jerome

379
00:17:08,080 –> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 4: and Trey were three fifths of the Tennessee offensive line,

380
00:17:11,600 –> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 4: and then you were in camp in the NFL, and

381
00:17:14,560 –> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: you and Trey are obviously still both here playing on

382
00:17:17,200 –> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 4: the same team. When you first found out you were

383
00:17:19,800 –> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 4: coming to the Chiefs and you’re gonna play again with

384
00:17:22,200 –> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 4: your buddy Trey Smith, what was that experience?

385
00:17:24,240 –> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 6: Like, I was like, oh my goodness, no freaking way.

386
00:17:27,480 –> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 6: He was actually the first person to call me after

387
00:17:29,640 –> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 6: I got off the phone with Beach. Yeah, and it’s

388
00:17:33,040 –> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 6: like he’s like, man, I can’t believe this is surreal.

389
00:17:35,680 –> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 6: I’m like, man, tell me about We probably called each

390
00:17:37,880 –> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 6: other like two three times after that, just saying like

391
00:17:40,680 –> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 6: this is crazy. We’re going to be back together again.

392
00:17:42,600 –> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 6: Like I don’t people think people know bad Tennessee. Tray

393
00:17:45,240 –> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 6: was like a big brother than me. He was one

394
00:17:46,840 –> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 6: of the main reasons I chose to pick Tennessee because,

395
00:17:49,160 –> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 6: like he just showed me like the brotherhood, the kinship.

396
00:17:51,800 –> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 6: You know, he’s showing me the love, the passion. Like

397
00:17:54,880 –> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 6: everybody wanted the same goals. You know, everybody wanted to

398
00:17:57,400 –> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 6: be great, and just him pushing me to be greater,

399
00:18:00,920 –> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 6: it just helps me that much more.

400
00:18:02,280 –> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 5: You know, you’ve played in some cool venues.

401
00:18:04,240 –> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 4: Man, you played at Neeland, then you played at Oklahoma,

402
00:18:06,760 –> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: you were a Sooner for a year, and now you’re

403
00:18:08,080 –> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 4: playing here in Kyingga City. Like these crowds that you’ve

404
00:18:11,280 –> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 4: had a chance to play for, it’s pretty incredible.

405
00:18:13,359 –> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 6: Huh yeah uh Chief Kingdom man, y’all are amazing. First

406
00:18:17,000 –> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 6: of all, y’all get loud on Sundays, and I love

407
00:18:20,960 –> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 6: the chant. I love the child That’s my favorite thing.

408
00:18:23,720 –> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 6: I love when we start the game like that. But

409
00:18:26,640 –> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 6: just being able to play in crowds like that and

410
00:18:28,960 –> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 6: just be experienced, because you know, sometimes people get in

411
00:18:32,080 –> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 6: the game the noise really bothers them. So just being

412
00:18:34,320 –> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 6: able to ex that noise out and just just lock

413
00:18:37,280 –> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 6: into the little details and the things that you need

414
00:18:39,280 –> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 6: to do and just exit out the noise. Man, I

415
00:18:42,320 –> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 6: could say I got some pretty good experience at it.

416
00:18:44,240 –> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you do well.

417
00:18:45,440 –> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 4: That’s part of I think being a pro is that

418
00:18:47,880 –> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: everyone’s good in the NFL, but the best players are

419
00:18:50,040 –> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 4: the ones that can kind of block out that noise.

420
00:18:52,480 –> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: You were able to do that against the Bills, and

421
00:18:54,640 –> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 4: it says a lot when you watch the tape that

422
00:18:56,880 –> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 4: oftentimes the coaching staff wasn’t giving any extra chips to

423
00:19:01,119 –> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: your side, like they were just doing a five man

424
00:19:02,720 –> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 4: protection and you were holding your own. What does that

425
00:19:05,040 –> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 4: mean to you that the coaching staff believes in you

426
00:19:07,240 –> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: and knows that you can handle your man and your assignment.

427
00:19:10,400 –> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: It actully.

428
00:19:10,960 –> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 6: Just shows the trust you know, and things like that.

429
00:19:13,600 –> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 6: It boosts your confidence as a player. I took the

430
00:19:16,800 –> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 6: challenge and I accepted it. You know, some people see

431
00:19:19,800 –> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 6: that as a threat, but I accept the challenge.

432
00:19:22,359 –> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: You know.

433
00:19:22,600 –> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 6: I like being on my own. I like being on

434
00:19:24,040 –> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 6: the island anyway. It’s fun out there because you really

435
00:19:27,480 –> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 6: get to see what you’re made of. You get to compete, man,

436
00:19:30,760 –> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 6: because those Russiers, Russias get better each and every day,

437
00:19:34,080 –> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 6: like those bills, Like the bills lead on, Like you said,

438
00:19:36,240 –> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 6: those guys were amazing, and just being able to go

439
00:19:38,760 –> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 6: get that competition by yourself and just see what you’re

440
00:19:41,040 –> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 6: really made of. It gives you that type of confidence

441
00:19:43,960 –> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 6: just keep going.

442
00:19:44,760 –> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 4: And you have like a nasty demeanor out there, like

443
00:19:47,080 –> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 4: you have like an edge to you when you’re playing.

444
00:19:48,760 –> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 4: You’re not just blocking your guy, You’re like going after him,

445
00:19:51,200 –> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: whether it be run blocking or pass blocking.

446
00:19:52,840 –> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 5: Where does that come from?

447
00:19:55,400 –> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: You know?

448
00:19:55,880 –> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: When I was younger, people just tell me I was

449
00:19:57,560 –> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 6: too nice. So like eventually in high school, a coach

450
00:20:05,200 –> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 6: pulled me to the side. I’m watching the track team

451
00:20:07,080 –> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 6: run practice. He says, you know, wyya like this year

452
00:20:09,960 –> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 6: like it, stop being so nice, go out there.

453
00:20:12,119 –> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: And be mean, be just be aggressive.

454
00:20:15,440 –> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 6: I said, okay, I try it, and then after that

455
00:20:19,520 –> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 6: I just got stuck on it. I just love finishing people.

456
00:20:21,960 –> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 6: It’s just like just being able to just finish somebody,

457
00:20:25,000 –> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 6: throw me to the ground against their will. Like that’s

458
00:20:28,560 –> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 6: the utmost greatest feeling ever, honestly, just finishing somebody.

459
00:20:32,040 –> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: Well, this guy is a very bright future. He is

460
00:20:34,119 –> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: not too nice on the football field. We definitely saw

461
00:20:36,520 –> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 4: that against the Bills. Want Ay Moore is excited for

462
00:20:39,400 –> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 4: you man, thanks for joining us, and good luck the

463
00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:45,000

Speaker 5: Just an awesome guy.

466
00:20:47,920 –> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 4: You can tell he has like a zest for life,

467
00:20:50,359 –> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: like he can’t believe that he’s in this moment. This

468
00:20:52,920 –> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 4: is his opportunity and he’s not going to waste it,

469
00:20:55,320 –> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: and he’s not wasting it so far. Again, just really

470
00:20:58,080 –> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 4: impressed with what he was able to do. Tough first

471
00:21:00,800 –> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 4: assignment against the Buffalo Bills and Von Miller a player

472
00:21:03,880 –> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: he grew up watching, and all of a sudden he’s

473
00:21:05,880 –> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: blocking him and blocking him pretty effectively.

474
00:21:07,880 –> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: And he faces another huge task this week if called upon,

475
00:21:11,240 –> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: because the defensive front for the New England Patriots is

476
00:21:13,880 –> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: also very good, arguably the strongest part of their team.

477
00:21:17,760 –> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, didn’t mention we’re rocking the TK

478
00:21:20,280 –> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we got to give that thanks to

479
00:21:22,840 –> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Travis kelcey in the TK line. And I don’t want

480
00:21:26,320 –> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: to go any further without mentioning the NFL record that

481
00:21:29,720 –> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: another NFL record that Travis kelce set in the Buffalo

482
00:21:32,359 –> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: Bills game with his six catches. That puts him now

483
00:21:35,560 –> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: an eighty catch season for eight straight years. That ties

484
00:21:38,920 –> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: an NFL record. But get the list, Tory Holt, Marvin Harrison,

485
00:21:44,080 –> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: and Jerry Rice. How many tiight ends on that list?

486
00:21:47,040 –> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 1: That would be none. I mean, you look at that

487
00:21:50,520 –> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: level of productivity and you’re in the same conversation with

488
00:21:53,480 –> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: those three guys, especially Jerry Rice, then you realize the

489
00:21:57,040 –> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: greatness of Travis Kelcey. Hence t k line eighty seven

490
00:22:01,320 –> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: True Colors. Get your True Colors gear while it’s still available.

491
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we’re so fortunate that we are watching

492
00:22:08,119 –> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey, the greatest tight end of all time, and

493
00:22:10,600 –> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 4: not just that, one of the greatest pass catchers of

494
00:22:12,960 –> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 4: all time. And he’s on our team just a little

495
00:22:15,920 –> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 4: over one hundred yard shy of his eighth consecutive thousand

496
00:22:19,480 –> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 4: yard season eight cot Think about that. So not just

497
00:22:22,560 –> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 4: the productivity, but remaining healthy, remaining consistent and available and

498
00:22:27,640 –> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 4: always ready to make a play even though everyone knows

499
00:22:30,200 –> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 4: that you’re getting the ball. It’s fun to watch fans

500
00:22:33,080 –> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 4: of other teams when we’re playing them, because Kels will

501
00:22:37,920 –> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 4: make this twenty yard catchdown field and they’re like how

502
00:22:40,480 –> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: is he always open? Like why are we not covering

503
00:22:42,840 –> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 4: them and they are trying to cover him. He just

504
00:22:45,480 –> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 4: finds a way. He finds a way, and he’s found

505
00:22:47,760 –> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 4: a way throughout his entire career and not slowing down

506
00:22:51,080 –> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: anytime soon.

507
00:22:52,400 –> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: We had Rashie Rice earlier on a Defending the Kingdom

508
00:22:55,400 –> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: episode as our special guest. He was also my guest

509
00:22:58,680 –> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: on the Chiefs Kingdom Radio show. You can find that

510
00:23:00,920 –> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: archived if you go to the Chiefs Radio Network site

511
00:23:03,640 –> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: for those of you can’t hear it over the air

512
00:23:05,800 –> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: around the world, but you’re gonna want to listen to

513
00:23:08,000 –> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: it because I learned something in that interview with him.

514
00:23:11,960 –> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: Guess who is mentoring Rushie Rice? Travis Kelsey. Kelsey has

515
00:23:16,960 –> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: taken him under his wing because I asked, I asked Roschi, hey,

516
00:23:20,359 –> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: who he’s like, tk Kelse is teaching me? And he

517
00:23:25,720 –> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: went through all the things he’s been teaching him of

518
00:23:29,080 –> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: hand placement and route running. So and I said, you

519
00:23:33,119 –> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: know what this means, brother, is that kel sees you

520
00:23:37,440 –> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 1: as potential greatness. So he’s gone big brother on you

521
00:23:41,520 –> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: because much like Trey Smith has done with one Ye Morris,

522
00:23:44,800 –> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: he sees the potential of your greatness, which is why

523
00:23:47,960 –> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: he’s investing this much time in mentoring Rashi Rice and

524
00:23:52,080 –> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: I thought that was awesome because that’s a tight end

525
00:23:54,920 –> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: with a wide receiver.

526
00:23:55,920 –> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 5: That’s really cool. Yeah, it says a lot about Rashi.

527
00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: If you watch Russi’s game, there is an element of

528
00:24:01,760 –> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 4: Travis Kelce to him because of his feel for space.

529
00:24:04,880 –> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 4: That’s one of the things that makes Travis so good

530
00:24:07,200 –> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 4: is his feel for space. So even if the route

531
00:24:10,240 –> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 4: maybe has him running a certain way, he knows where

532
00:24:12,840 –> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 4: the space in the zone is, or the space and

533
00:24:15,080 –> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 4: the defensive coverages to get open for Patrick and Rashie

534
00:24:18,800 –> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 4: at times this year has shown that ability. He showed

535
00:24:21,200 –> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: it in his first game with the Chiefs way back

536
00:24:22,800 –> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 4: against the Lions in Week one. His touchdown was a

537
00:24:25,280 –> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 4: great feel for space. He’s done that all year long,

538
00:24:28,359 –> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 4: and that’s exciting that Travis Kelce sees that in Rashie.

539
00:24:32,359 –> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 4: As a rookie who already has six receiving touchdowns this

540
00:24:35,160 –> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 4: year for Kansas City, third most of any rookie in

541
00:24:38,000 –> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: the NFL, his future is bright and certainly helps having

542
00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 4: a guy like Travis Kelce teach him the ropes.

543
00:24:44,080 –> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: And what was also I had talked with Coach about

544
00:24:46,080 –> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: this in that same episode. If you can find it,

545
00:24:48,800 –> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: and there’s so many routes, we think it’s a six

546
00:24:50,920 –> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: route or four rout or seven route. This stay and agent,

547
00:24:53,480 –> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: especially in this offense, and this is where the growth

548
00:24:55,640 –> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 1: curve for a wide receiver. These are choice routes, many

549
00:24:58,720 –> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 1: times are option routes. And Coach says, well, I’m going

550
00:25:01,720 –> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 1: to tell you that it’s more about the top end

551
00:25:04,480 –> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: of the route and the angles that you take and

552
00:25:07,560 –> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: learn to take this And you triggered the thought by

553
00:25:09,880 –> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: you saying what you did about Kels and then the

554
00:25:12,359 –> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: tempo in the way that you run that route. And

555
00:25:14,880 –> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: he said, that’s what Rashi is trying to learn right now,

556
00:25:19,680 –> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: and that’s what Kelsey is teaching him. And we’ve seen

557
00:25:22,440 –> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: the fruits of that some I remember the catch against

558
00:25:24,520 –> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: the Raiders felt like that. Yeah, and now it’s just

559
00:25:27,520 –> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: a matter of Rashi just like Bango every week and

560
00:25:31,960 –> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: becomes a constant threat. So that leads us we’re gonna

561
00:25:35,359 –> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: close out this way. But we’re talking about both ends

562
00:25:39,040 –> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: of the spectrum here. That’s what this addition of Defending

563
00:25:41,520 –> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: the Kingdom is about. About two incredible coaches who have

564
00:25:45,200 –> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: done historic things an offensive tackle getting the start in

565
00:25:49,240 –> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: his career. But it leads us to the middle of

566
00:25:51,440 –> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: that timeline, which is this game against the New England Patriots. Again,

567
00:25:55,920 –> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: the AFC has become a week to week episode in

568
00:25:59,600 –> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: the greatest reality show there is in the world, the

569
00:26:02,359 –> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: National Football League and especially the AFC. Something happens unexpectedly

570
00:26:06,840 –> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: that here are the Chiefs now taking on a New

571
00:26:09,119 –> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: England team that showed a flash in getting twenty one

572
00:26:13,119 –> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: points to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh.

573
00:26:16,359 –> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: That got your attention.

574
00:26:17,840 –> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: But let’s just talk about New England a bit, and

575
00:26:19,800 –> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: let’s talk about their defense. Because the defensive numbers here,

576
00:26:22,840 –> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: Matt do not equal a three to ten record.

577
00:26:25,280 –> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 5: No, they definitely don’t.

578
00:26:26,560 –> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 4: This is a defense is playing hard for coach Belichick

579
00:26:30,119 –> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 4: and playing hard for the logo on their helmet. And

580
00:26:32,840 –> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 4: I respect that this defense for the Patriots has held

581
00:26:36,080 –> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 4: the opposition under twenty one points in five straight games,

582
00:26:39,960 –> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 4: just keeping their team in the game. Now, they’re middle

583
00:26:42,440 –> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 4: of the pack and a lot of defensive categories things

584
00:26:44,880 –> 00:26:46,719
Speaker 4: like turnovers and sacks and points allowed.

585
00:26:47,119 –> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 5: But here’s what they do.

586
00:26:48,080 –> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 4: They don’t allow big plays and they kind of force

587
00:26:50,680 –> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 4: you to nickel and dime down the field. They keep

588
00:26:53,200 –> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 4: everything in front of them and they’re banking on you

589
00:26:55,400 –> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 4: making a mistake at some point. You look at these guys.

590
00:26:58,440 –> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 4: They have these sixth best red zone defense in the NFL,

591
00:27:01,520 –> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 4: allowing touchdowns at only a forty six percent rate. They’ve

592
00:27:04,680 –> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 4: allowed twenty seven to ten play drives this year, that’s

593
00:27:07,520 –> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 4: eighth most in the NFL. But opponents are scoring touchdowns

594
00:27:10,600 –> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 4: on only thirty percent of those drives. So the opponent

595
00:27:14,920 –> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 4: marching down the field using a lot of clock have

596
00:27:17,600 –> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: to settle for a field goal and all of a sudden,

597
00:27:19,600 –> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 4: that creates opportunities for the Patriots offense. So we can

598
00:27:22,920 –> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: talk about their run defense as well, which is outstanding.

599
00:27:26,000 –> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: But these guys, they keep the Patriots in games for

600
00:27:28,640 –> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 4: the most part. And their offense, it’s true, it has

601
00:27:31,080 –> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: struggled this year. They got a spark last week with

602
00:27:33,080 –> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 4: Bailey z Appy, but their defense keeps them in games.

603
00:27:35,840 –> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 4: Look at the Chargers game a couple weeks ago. They

604
00:27:37,800 –> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: had an opportunity to win that game. Numerous times they

605
00:27:40,800 –> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 4: couldn’t score, but the defense kept a minute. His defense

606
00:27:43,520 –> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 4: for New England is no joke.

607
00:27:44,880 –> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and I were taking the punto meter for

608
00:27:48,040 –> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: that Charger Patriot game, but that meant that the Patriots

609
00:27:51,520 –> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: defense was playing at a high level. Here’s a couple

610
00:27:53,400 –> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: more for you. The Patriots are the best team in

611
00:27:56,240 –> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: the NFL keeping mi either three to ten, the best

612
00:27:58,960 –> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: team in the NFL at disallowing four plus runs overall

613
00:28:03,640 –> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: only thirty four point six percent of the time, and

614
00:28:05,800 –> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: four point zero is your litmus test on a run

615
00:28:08,560 –> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: in the NFL, anything less is a win for the defense.

616
00:28:11,200 –> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: Anything more is a win for the offense. New England

617
00:28:14,480 –> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: is not allowing teams to run the ball to your point.

618
00:28:17,520 –> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: The other thing, and not allowing big plays. New England

619
00:28:20,920 –> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: is top six in the league in ten plus plays allowed.

620
00:28:24,920 –> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: That’s usually not the case with a three to ten team.

621
00:28:28,520 –> 00:28:31,439
Speaker 1: They’re good front to back. They’re scrappy. They’ve got some

622
00:28:31,520 –> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: big time players on this defense.

623
00:28:34,119 –> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 2: And you’re right.

624
00:28:34,720 –> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: They make it hard to score on you. They wait

625
00:28:36,680 –> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: for you to make the mistake, they make you eat

626
00:28:39,000 –> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: up time, hold you to a field goal. Wait a minute,

627
00:28:41,720 –> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 1: the gush that sounds like Green Bay, that sounds like Denver,

628
00:28:45,640 –> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: and in a way it sounds like the Philadelphia Eagles.

629
00:28:48,080 –> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: These guys can follow that recipe very much like those

630
00:28:51,760 –> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 1: other teams that were able to beat the Chiefs earlier

631
00:28:53,520 –> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: this year.

632
00:28:54,160 –> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 4: They also like to blitz. They have a higher blitz

633
00:28:56,560 –> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 4: rate than the Chiefs do, and that’s saying something. These

634
00:28:59,640 –> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 4: guys the fifth highest splitz rate in the NFL at

635
00:29:02,560 –> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 4: thirty four point seven percent, just ahead of the Chiefs.

636
00:29:06,400 –> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: And if you’re Kyansas City, you got to take advantage

637
00:29:08,880 –> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 4: of that. You got to make sure that if New

638
00:29:10,480 –> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: England sends extra rushers, you’re able to hit that big

639
00:29:13,480 –> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 4: play over the top. And for the Chiefs in this game,

640
00:29:16,960 –> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: you’re coming off a bummer of a game last week.

641
00:29:19,680 –> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 4: We all know that, right it was right there for

642
00:29:21,280 –> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. They didn’t get it done. You got to

643
00:29:23,440 –> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: move on. You gotta flush it and learn from what

644
00:29:25,840 –> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 4: just happened and make sure two doesn’t turn into three.

645
00:29:28,800 –> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 4: And how do you do that. You get off to

646
00:29:30,520 –> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 4: a fast start offensively against the Patriots. Three weeks in

647
00:29:33,720 –> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 4: a row, the Chiefs have been down by two touchdowns

648
00:29:36,120 –> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 4: to begin the game. And to their credit, you can

649
00:29:38,360 –> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 4: make an argument they could have won all three games.

650
00:29:40,560 –> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 5: They didn’t.

651
00:29:41,080 –> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 4: They’re one and two in those games. But playing from

652
00:29:43,360 –> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: behind is not a good strategy. Get off to a

653
00:29:46,640 –> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 4: fast offensive start here in this game against the Patriots.

654
00:29:50,280 –> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 4: Make sure that defense isn’t feeling really good going into

655
00:29:53,080 –> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 4: the second half. That’s the recipe for success, and that’s

656
00:29:55,760 –> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 4: obvious here in this game, but I think that’s really

657
00:29:57,960 –> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 4: the goal for the Chiefs. Early on their first couple

658
00:29:59,840 –> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 4: of drives, get in the end zone. Make sure the

659
00:30:02,720 –> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 4: Patriots are not feeling confident, feeling good about this game,

660
00:30:05,600 –> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 4: feeling like we’re going to play this game in the mud,

661
00:30:08,160 –> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 4: because that’s what the Patriots want to do. They want

662
00:30:10,160 –> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 4: this game in the mud. They want it to be

663
00:30:12,400 –> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 4: thirteen to ten in the fourth quarter. That’s what they want.

664
00:30:15,480 –> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 4: For the Chiefs offensively, they know what they can do.

665
00:30:18,600 –> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: Don’t turn the ball over, don’t let penalties hinder your

666
00:30:21,600 –> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 4: drives or set you back. Get off to a fast start.

667
00:30:24,600 –> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 4: Let’s get back on track against the Patriots. That’s the key.

668
00:30:27,440 –> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 4: And it’s what Denver wanted to do and did in Denver.

669
00:30:30,440 –> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 4: It’s what Green Bay wanted to do and did in

670
00:30:33,000 –> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 4: green Bay. The Chiefs are trying to avoid that and

671
00:30:35,560 –> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 4: get a victory, a ninth victory against the New England Patriots. Offensively,

672
00:30:39,720 –> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 4: this is a New England team that has struggled, although

673
00:30:41,760 –> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 4: Bailey Zappy is giving them a little bit of hope,

674
00:30:45,200 –> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 4: especially because you guys are woefully weak. You look at

675
00:30:48,120 –> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 4: twenty passes of twenty one plus air yards. They have

676
00:30:51,120 –> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 4: four completions of twenty one plus air yards in thirteen games.

677
00:30:55,720 –> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 4: That’s miserable. But what did they do to beat the

678
00:30:59,000 –> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers. The same thing that the Buffalo Bills did

679
00:31:02,960 –> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 4: to get the fourteen to nothing lead on the Chiefs,

680
00:31:05,400 –> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 4: and that is throw to James Cook for big plays.

681
00:31:09,280 –> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 4: Look in this game and their win over Pittsburgh. What

682
00:31:11,680 –> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 4: Zappi did too, Old friend Zeke Elliott, the old Dallas cowboy.

683
00:31:16,480 –> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 4: He had one hundred and forty yards from scrimmage. It’s

684
00:31:18,840 –> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 4: probably one of his best games in quite a while.

685
00:31:21,000 –> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: And that included seven receptions for over seventy yards. He

686
00:31:24,680 –> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: was great for the Patriots last week. And you’re right,

687
00:31:28,320 –> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: you got to make things simple for Bailey Zappi. That’s

688
00:31:31,400 –> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 4: not any slight toward him. He’s a young quarterback. You

689
00:31:33,640 –> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 4: want to simplify things for him. He has two starts

690
00:31:36,680 –> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 4: now for New England. Let’s compare these two starts. His

691
00:31:39,960 –> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 4: first start a couple weeks ago, he completed just fifty

692
00:31:43,200 –> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 4: two percent of his passes, averaged five point sixty four

693
00:31:46,680 –> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: yards per attempt, had a passer rating of sixty eight

694
00:31:49,560 –> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 4: point nine. They lose six to zero, right, don’t score

695
00:31:52,960 –> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 4: any points. Well, last week against Pittsburgh, it’s like night

696
00:31:56,560 –> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 4: and day with this guy. I mean, he completed sixty

697
00:31:59,320 –> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 4: eight percent of a passes, averaged eight point five to

698
00:32:02,320 –> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 4: seven yards per attempt, had a passer rating of one

699
00:32:04,760 –> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: hundred and fifteen. So he was great. He made some

700
00:32:07,680 –> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: great throws in that game. For being completely honest, Hunter

701
00:32:10,920 –> 00:32:13,239
Speaker 4: Henry was good in that game. And that’s another thing.

702
00:32:13,280 –> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: If you look at some of these tight games for

703
00:32:15,160 –> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 4: the Chiefs slately, it’s tight ends finding success against them. Defensively,

704
00:32:19,680 –> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 4: Hunter Henry is one of the better tight ends in

705
00:32:21,960 –> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 4: the game. Right, you can’t let Hunter Henry get loose,

706
00:32:24,680 –> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: particularly in the red zone. He has five touchdown catches

707
00:32:27,440 –> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: this year, and for a young quarterback, a good tight

708
00:32:29,440 –> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 4: end in the red zone as their best friend. Again,

709
00:32:32,440 –> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: if you look at the numbers, Bailey zappy under pressure

710
00:32:35,080 –> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: this year, struggles and even last week he struggled. But

711
00:32:38,240 –> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 4: when he’s given a clean pocket, I mean he’s an

712
00:32:41,080 –> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 4: NFL quarterback and he can find success. I mean, he’s

713
00:32:43,360 –> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 4: here for a reason, and when he had a clean

714
00:32:45,000 –> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: pocket last week against Pittsburgh, he was excellent. So for

715
00:32:48,600 –> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 4: the Chiefs in this game, you got a pressure Bailey

716
00:32:50,960 –> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: Zappi got to give him off of his spot and

717
00:32:53,360 –> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 4: don’t let them stay ahead of the chains consistently. Don’t

718
00:32:56,200 –> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 4: let Zeke Elliott get four or five yards on a

719
00:32:58,200 –> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 4: quick pass on first down. Force Bailey Zappi into third

720
00:33:02,040 –> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 4: and ten, third and fifteen, then get the pass rush

721
00:33:05,560 –> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 4: after him. That’s how you get this Patriots offense off kilter.

722
00:33:08,640 –> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 4: So the Chiefs defense can do it. This remains the

723
00:33:10,520 –> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 4: number three scoring defense in the NFL. They were excellent

724
00:33:13,480 –> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 4: last week, even though they allowed the two touchdowns early

725
00:33:16,360 –> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 4: on from fourteen to nothing bills. The rest of the way,

726
00:33:19,840 –> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 4: the Chiefs outscored Buffalo seventeen to six, held Buffalo out

727
00:33:23,240 –> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 4: of the end zone the entire second half. So it’s

728
00:33:26,800 –> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: a slow start conversation we were having earlier about the

729
00:33:29,160 –> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: Chiefs offense. For the Chiefs defense as well, they’ve been

730
00:33:31,400 –> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 4: so good. Just don’t let the Patriots offense get off

731
00:33:34,000 –> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 4: to a good start like we’ve seen with some of

732
00:33:35,680 –> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 4: these offenses in recent weeks. You got to make sure

733
00:33:37,800 –> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: you slam the door early, enforced Bailey Zappi into a

734
00:33:41,360 –> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 4: couple of mistakes.

735
00:33:42,240 –> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: And slam the door on running back in the passing game. Yes,

736
00:33:46,840 –> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: and then mitigate Hunter Henry as best as you can

737
00:33:49,920 –> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 1: in this game. Two old friends in this game. We’ll

738
00:33:52,480 –> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: close it out this way. Two old friends that both

739
00:33:55,240 –> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: led to the Super Bowl championships in recent years. For

740
00:33:58,520 –> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Juju Smith Schuster, he’s the most obvious wonder

741
00:34:03,600 –> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: if he’s gonna wear a Super Bowl ring to the game.

742
00:34:05,720 –> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: Probably not old number seven, we’re number seven for the

743
00:34:10,480 –> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, but still warm and fuzzy. If I

744
00:34:13,760 –> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: get to see him, there’ll be a hug. Yeah, I

745
00:34:15,800 –> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 1: mean he was great for us, absolutely. I mean, Jude,

746
00:34:18,200 –> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: that’s the thing with the championship team. They are always

747
00:34:21,120 –> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: part of the team, and they’re always part of the family.

748
00:34:23,760 –> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 5: Like I really believe that.

749
00:34:24,920 –> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 4: And for Juju, we’ll see Juju ten years from now

750
00:34:27,760 –> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 4: when we’re celebrating the Super Bowl fifty seven championship. Right,

751
00:34:31,320 –> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 4: he’s a Patriot now he’s on the other side on Sunday,

752
00:34:34,480 –> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 4: and he actually had a nice game for them last week.

753
00:34:36,719 –> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, four catches for ninety yards. We know

754
00:34:40,040 –> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: what Juju can do when he’s healthy. He’s the enemy

755
00:34:43,040 –> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 4: on Sunday. But I’m with you. I mean, Juju is

756
00:34:44,920 –> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 4: one of the main reasons this team won a Super

757
00:34:46,760 –> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 4: Bowl last year. So I root for Juju every other

758
00:34:49,960 –> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 4: week of the season, just not this week.

759
00:34:51,840 –> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: Two of those four catches against Pittsburgh, I go, oh,

760
00:34:54,040 –> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: we’ve seen that before. It looked just like the ones

761
00:34:55,880 –> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: he had with us. The other not so obvious guy

762
00:34:58,800 –> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: on this team that led to the Super Bowl fifty

763
00:35:01,239 –> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: four championship is Mike Oseki, the old tight end of

764
00:35:05,920 –> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Remember he had the magical catch from

765
00:35:10,120 –> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: Fitsmagic back in the twenty nineteen playoffs that allowed the

766
00:35:13,920 –> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: Chiefs to get home field as the Dolphins got the victory.

767
00:35:17,760 –> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: So Mike, I don’t know you, but if I see him, man,

768
00:35:21,200 –> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: I’ll give you a fist pump because remember that game,

769
00:35:24,280 –> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: and thank you Mike for what he did for us

770
00:35:26,200 –> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl fifty four on that run.

771
00:35:27,640 –> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 4: And that was something else, wasn’t it. Just the game

772
00:35:29,800 –> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 4: is going on at the same time and we had

773
00:35:32,239 –> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 4: to win. But here’s the thing, and we saw this

774
00:35:35,200 –> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 4: with the Titans beating the Dolphins the other night. You

775
00:35:38,280 –> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 4: can go on the ESPN Playoff Machine and kind of

776
00:35:40,560 –> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 4: plot everything out and you’re like, well, this is what’s

777
00:35:42,719 –> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 4: gonna happen. It’s never what happens. You never know what’s

778
00:35:45,920 –> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: gonna happen in the NFL. That’s why the NFL is

779
00:35:48,239 –> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 4: the greatest sports league on Earth, because any given Sunday

780
00:35:52,040 –> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 4: or Monday or Thursday or Saturday, something crazy.

781
00:35:54,920 –> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 5: Can happen and you just don’t know.

782
00:35:56,920 –> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 4: And that kind of leads into my final thoughts about

783
00:35:59,400 –> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 4: this game and the rest of the season. Again, I

784
00:36:02,480 –> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 4: mean a bummer on Sunday night, right, the Chiefs nearly

785
00:36:06,480 –> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 4: beat the Buffalo Bills and thought they had beat him

786
00:36:08,680 –> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 4: for a moment. But everything is still right there for

787
00:36:10,960 –> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 4: the Chiefs. It’s all still right there. They control their

788
00:36:13,640 –> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 4: own destiny in the AFC West, and there’s even a

789
00:36:16,239 –> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 4: chance the one seed is still in play based on

790
00:36:18,360 –> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 4: how you’re looking at schedules. Everything’s right there for Kansas City.

791
00:36:22,000 –> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 4: The most important thing is they take care of their

792
00:36:24,239 –> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 4: own business and see what happens. That’s the beauty of it,

793
00:36:27,000 –> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 4: and that Mikaseki example is a great example of that.

794
00:36:31,000 –> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 4: See what happens once we get there, but it’s a

795
00:36:33,400 –> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 4: one game playoff in my mind the rest of the way,

796
00:36:35,719 –> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 4: and that begins against New England.

797
00:36:37,560 –> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: There you have it, timeline. Really interesting game this week

798
00:36:41,400 –> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: because you are seeing on a timeline two of the

799
00:36:44,239 –> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 1: greatest coaches ever that are going against each other once again,

800
00:36:48,680 –> 00:36:51,839
Speaker 1: a player just getting his career started in a whole

801
00:36:51,840 –> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: bunch in between. But keep in mind, this is a

802
00:36:55,239 –> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: game that reminds us of both ends of the spectrum.

803
00:37:10,360 –> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 6: Thinking. Stam
