Speaker 2: their first two drives.

16
00:00:46,360 –> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: And hello everyone, I’m a child’s voice of the Chiefs

17
00:00:48,960 –> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: along with senior team reporter Man McMullen. You hear the

18
00:00:52,360 –> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: ambient sound if you cannot see us. If you’re watching us,

19
00:00:55,640 –> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: we are at the shores of Lake Las Vegas at

20
00:00:59,240 –> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: the AMP for the Kansas City Chiefs.

21
00:01:01,760 –> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: We’ve been here all week long.

22
00:01:03,360 –> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: But if you’re just listening and not watching and you

23
00:01:05,800 –> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: hear this ambient sound that is the beautiful fountains and

24
00:01:08,880 –> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: water rushing around us. So it’s a definitely some palatial surroundings.

25
00:01:15,000 –> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 4: This is pretty gorgeous, isn’t it. And it’s a far

26
00:01:17,400 –> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 4: cry from what we had when we first got here

27
00:01:19,520 –> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 4: on Sunday night. It was pretty cold and rainy for

28
00:01:22,160 –> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 4: the first two or three days that we were here.

29
00:01:24,120 –> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: It was actually warmer in Kansas City than it was here.

30
00:01:26,800 –> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 4: When you think about going to the desert, should be

31
00:01:28,720 –> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: really warm. But today is beautiful and it should be beautiful here

32
00:01:31,760 –> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 4: for the next couple days. And yeah, not a bad

33
00:01:34,600 –> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 4: scene for our podcast here today. We are making a

34
00:01:38,000 –> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: trend of this. Last year we were out by the

35
00:01:39,840 –> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 4: water with the sunglasses on for our Blues Brothers cameo.

36
00:01:44,319 –> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: No sunglasses today, but still a beautiful.

37
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: Scene and chili.

38
00:01:47,040 –> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: It has been chili here in Las Vegas, but the

39
00:01:49,520 –> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: natives here are actually dancing in the streets with the

40
00:01:52,480 –> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: rain yesterday. Now it’s out there, so a lot of

41
00:01:55,120 –> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: you have been able to see it on our social

42
00:01:57,760 –> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: platforms that you and I had an incredible experience to

43
00:02:01,200 –> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: go to the bottom of the Grand Canyon in a

44
00:02:03,280 –> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: helicopter ride took us about an hour to get out.

45
00:02:05,760 –> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: There was about a hundred miles to go there and

46
00:02:08,400 –> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: then to go to the bottom of the canyon. But

47
00:02:10,160 –> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: what we saw was how low the water table is

48
00:02:12,720 –> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: at Lake Mead, oh yeah, and Hoover Dam, and so

49
00:02:15,600 –> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: it was an awesome experience.

50
00:02:16,919 –> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: But when it rains here, people don’t complain.

51
00:02:19,480 –> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: We also flew over where we are right now, and

52
00:02:22,200 –> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 4: we took off from the airport, which if you’ve been

53
00:02:23,960 –> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: to Vegas you know is right next to the strip,

54
00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 4: and we truly got perspective on how far away we

55
00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: are from actual Las Vegas. We are nowhere close to

56
00:02:32,400 –> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 4: Las Vegas. That helicopter trip was incredible, though, wasn’t it.

57
00:02:36,520 –> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: I Mean it was just amazing. Our boss, our vice

58
00:02:39,440 –> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: president of content and Production, Rob Aalbarino, told us about that,

59
00:02:42,840 –> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: like on Tuesday, He’s like, would you guys be interested

60
00:02:45,000 –> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: in taking a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon? And

61
00:02:47,240 –> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: I thought he misspoke. I thought he meant like maybe

62
00:02:49,320 –> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 4: a quick little ride around the area, Like, surely we’re

63
00:02:51,360 –> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: not going to the Grand Canyon. But we did, and

64
00:02:54,400 –> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 4: we went to the bottom of it, and you did

65
00:02:55,880 –> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 4: a touchdown Kansas City into the Grand Canyon. It was awesome.

66
00:02:59,520 –> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that’s posted and you can enjoy that moment, but honestly,

67
00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: it was a I felt like a five year old

68
00:03:05,880 –> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: going to my first baseball game or football game. I

69
00:03:08,880 –> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: didn’t want to leave. It was so peaceful, so quiet.

70
00:03:12,440 –> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 1: You could just see this majestic creation around you. It

71
00:03:16,480 –> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: really was an experience that I’ve never had before. It

72
00:03:20,840 –> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: I didn’t want to leave it. Yeah, and it’s for

73
00:03:22,919 –> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: the first time. You know, it’s been a crazy seven months.

74
00:03:25,520 –> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: This has been this has been a full sprint and

75
00:03:27,880 –> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: we have to stay on point. It’s a first role problem,

76
00:03:30,120 –> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: I know, but you can never leave it. It’s like

77
00:03:32,400 –> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: your mind never relaxes. And this bite year’s bye week

78
00:03:34,720 –> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: wasn’t We’ve said that before in earlier episodes.

79
00:03:36,560 –> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: Didn’t feel like much of a bye week.

80
00:03:38,760 –> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: But when I got to the bottom of that canyon,

81
00:03:41,240 –> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: it’s like everything dimmed. It’s like everything and I could

82
00:03:44,280 –> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I feel my whole body relaxing, like my soul just

83
00:03:47,080 –> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: it was awesome.

84
00:03:48,120 –> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: I’m always thinking about this stuff because I love it,

85
00:03:51,320 –> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: like it’s it’s our job, but it’s also our our passions,

86
00:03:53,800 –> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 4: so we’re always thinking about it. So it doesn’t mean

87
00:03:56,160 –> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: that like physically we rest a lot, or like take

88
00:03:58,320 –> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 4: a break from it. And particularly yeah, after the last

89
00:04:01,440 –> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: two seasons, which have been the two longest seasons in

90
00:04:03,880 –> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: NFL history for any team, based on when we started

91
00:04:06,480 –> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: training camp and when the Super Bowl has taking place,

92
00:04:09,320 –> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: and again not complaining, like we are so fortunate and

93
00:04:11,640 –> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: happy to be here, but it was kind of funny

94
00:04:13,720 –> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 4: to finally detach for thirty minutes required us going to

95
00:04:16,920 –> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: the bottom of the Grand Canyon where we literally had

96
00:04:19,320 –> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: no cell service and no choice but to actually turn

97
00:04:21,839 –> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 4: our brains off for a bit. It’s pretty great.

98
00:04:23,680 –> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: All we had are these again this majestic.

99
00:04:26,760 –> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: You’ll see these if you haven’t, go find us on

100
00:04:30,000 –> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: our social platforms. And then the Colorado River just kind

101
00:04:33,560 –> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: of gently flowing right by us at the bottom of

102
00:04:36,839 –> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the Grand Canyon. Well, another thing that has been phenomenal

103
00:04:41,080 –> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: has been the Kansas City Chiefs offense we know on

104
00:04:43,160 –> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has been unparalleled in many ways in his

105
00:04:47,600 –> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: time in the National Football League. Always listed as seven

106
00:04:50,279 –> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: years and truthfully only six drive us crazy.

107
00:04:53,160 –> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: It drives me.

108
00:04:54,040 –> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: It’s all the comparison to first seven years, Like, well,

109
00:04:56,440 –> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: we stop and even he takes up most everybody in

110
00:05:00,279 –> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: a seventh yer that he didn’t play. But still we

111
00:05:03,480 –> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: have seen playoff pat and we’ve seen this offense do

112
00:05:07,120 –> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: a lot of transitioning throughout the season, and we’ve seen

113
00:05:10,680 –> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: them do a lot of fixing in this five game

114
00:05:12,920 –> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: winning streak. So we’re going to jump into that and

115
00:05:15,200 –> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: see how they match up against the San Francisco defense

116
00:05:17,760 –> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl fifty eight. But before we do, let’s take, oh,

117
00:05:22,240 –> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: I don’t know, get in a canoe ride down the

118
00:05:25,680 –> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Colorado River, or get in your space station and travel

119
00:05:28,839 –> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: all around the earth. And if we figured out Canadian provinces,

120
00:05:35,279 –> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: how many we have, Oh.

121
00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: I’d have to do a deep dive and go through it.

122
00:05:38,320 –> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: We’re getting the most because we’ve.

123
00:05:39,360 –> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 4: Got Prince Edbert Island a few days ago, which is big.

124
00:05:41,880 –> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: It’s one I thought we didn’t get to the end.

125
00:05:43,560 –> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 4: We have British Columbia, we have Manitoba, Ontario. We probably

126
00:05:48,880 –> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: have close to all of them.

127
00:05:49,880 –> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: Did we get Saskatchewan in there somewhere? I thought we did.

128
00:05:52,560 –> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 4: Maybe, I don’t know, maybe not the Yukon territory. That

129
00:05:56,960 –> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: might be the last one. Yeah, yeah, But I do

130
00:05:58,960 –> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: have six for you today. No people in Canada today,

131
00:06:02,640 –> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 4: but people all over the world. So Daniel is in Seymour, Missouri.

132
00:06:06,120 –> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: Do you know where that is? Or Seymour?

133
00:06:08,960 –> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: Okay, now that you’re saying that, I try to forget

134
00:06:13,560 –> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: you on the spot. You did put me on the spot.

135
00:06:15,320 –> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: I’m trying to locate it.

136
00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, you can take a pause if you want

137
00:06:18,640 –> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 4: and I go on. Okay. Darnell is in Denver, been

138
00:06:21,720 –> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 4: a fan since nineteen seventy. What’s her name, Darnell Darnell.

139
00:06:25,800 –> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: I love our defenders out in Denver represent the Kingdom

140
00:06:28,720 –> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 4: out there. Shout out to our listeners in Thailand. We

141
00:06:31,520 –> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: had a few of them this time. I don’t have

142
00:06:33,279 –> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 4: specific names, but people wrote in from Thailand. We really

143
00:06:36,200 –> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 4: have a monopoly on like Southeast Asia. I’ve learned because

144
00:06:39,560 –> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: we have a lot of listeners in Thailand, the Philippines,

145
00:06:43,000 –> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 4: Vietnam House. We’ve heard from Cambodia, like legitimately, lots of

146
00:06:47,200 –> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: people in Southeast Asia representing the Kingdom. So shout out

147
00:06:50,080 –> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: to all of you. We love you. We have a

148
00:06:52,080 –> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 4: listener from Independence, Missouri who now lives out in Broncos Country.

149
00:06:56,000 –> 00:07:00,040
Speaker 4: I don’t know where specifically, but in Broncos Country again, behind.

150
00:07:00,080 –> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: To many lines. Yep, it’s not Harry Truman, is it.

151
00:07:02,680 –> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 5: It’s not Harry Truman. No, Harry Truman I think went

152
00:07:05,640 –> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 5: back to independence. I don’t think Harry moved to Broncos Country.

153
00:07:10,360 –> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 5: This is a really cool one.

154
00:07:11,480 –> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 4: So I heard from Janet from Tenerifey, that’s in the

155
00:07:15,920 –> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: Canary Islands.

156
00:07:18,160 –> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: You have me on that one.

157
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 4: Yep. So Janet is from Tenaifay is the largest island

158
00:07:22,360 –> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 4: I believe, or the most populous island of the Canary Islands,

159
00:07:25,560 –> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 4: representing Chiefs Kingdom.

160
00:07:27,320 –> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 2: And then last week maybe another locale or we should shoot.

161
00:07:30,120 –> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 4: The show definitely. I think it would be for the

162
00:07:32,560 –> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 4: best if we put some money in the budget for

163
00:07:35,000 –> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 4: us to go to Tenerifey and do our show, just

164
00:07:37,280 –> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: to try to reach people where they are. That’s how

165
00:07:39,320 –> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 4: we should pitch that. Lastly, our good buddy Austin Woodard

166
00:07:42,320 –> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: gave me this one. He wanted me to shout out

167
00:07:44,520 –> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: Jim and Janet and Joplin, Missouri. Shout out to you both.

168
00:07:48,400 –> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: Joplin is a hotbed obviously of the Chiefs Kingdom. It’s

169
00:07:52,600 –> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: a lot of enthusiasm down there. And of course we’ll remember,

170
00:07:56,080 –> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: never forget what happened on May the twenty second in

171
00:07:59,200 –> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: twenty eleven, just the brutal tornado there. And Austin is

172
00:08:03,080 –> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: a leader in that community and he’s a friend of

173
00:08:04,840 –> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: you and me and just an amazing guy.

174
00:08:08,160 –> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: But that’s that. While area throwing web City and I.

175
00:08:11,640 –> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: Don’t know, neo show and carthage, that’s just a great

176
00:08:14,480 –> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: area down in southwest Missouri in a chief’s hotbed.

177
00:08:17,760 –> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: And I’m still trying to figure out where Seymour, Missouri is.

178
00:08:19,800 –> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: I know it.

179
00:08:20,320 –> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: I tried giving you it out you did, and it’s

180
00:08:23,520 –> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: bugging me. So I’ll just pass on that one.

181
00:08:25,840 –> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: Tune in next week for us to tell you where Seymour,

182
00:08:27,760 –> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 4: Missouri is.

183
00:08:28,440 –> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: We may do a show from Seymour, Missouri, just because

184
00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: I feel like I messed up. My fault. No, no,

185
00:08:34,240 –> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: it’s my fault entirely.

186
00:08:35,880 –> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: But speaking of messing up, like the National Football League

187
00:08:40,120 –> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: was looking at the Kansas City Chiefs of like, wow,

188
00:08:42,280 –> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: this is their demise again. Everybody’s been waiting for it. Yeah,

189
00:08:45,679 –> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: rubbing their hands together. They did at the end of

190
00:08:48,600 –> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: twenty one. They did it last year in twenty two,

191
00:08:51,640 –> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: they do it this year. And they’re saying, see, they’re

192
00:08:54,400 –> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: just not the same. That offense is not the same.

193
00:08:57,360 –> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: They’re not getting a big chunkyard agent.

194
00:08:59,320 –> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: All these draws.

195
00:09:01,600 –> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: And drops are like airs in baseball. Drops in football

196
00:09:05,160 –> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: like airs in baseball. You kind of get there’s some

197
00:09:07,480 –> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: subjective feel to it, and you’re like some team like

198
00:09:10,880 –> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: they had the Chiefs at forty eight drops. Well, now

199
00:09:14,360 –> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: you look at like stats pass it’s thirty five. I

200
00:09:18,320 –> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: think NGS has got it at thirty four. But differs

201
00:09:20,920 –> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: wherever you look. Yeah, it’s a matter of opinion, but

202
00:09:23,720 –> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: we know this no matter how you looked at it.

203
00:09:26,240 –> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: The Chiefs were number one in the National Football League

204
00:09:28,360 –> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: and drop passes. San Francisco, interestingly enough, was the best team.

205
00:09:32,320 –> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: They had the fewest drop passes with only ten all year.

206
00:09:35,240 –> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: That’s impressive. Wow. But then you look at the penalties.

207
00:09:39,600 –> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: The Chiefs led the league in offensive holding penalties and thought, well,

208
00:09:43,200 –> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: there’s no way the Chiefs can get there. And then

209
00:09:45,320 –> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: we talked about it the giveaway takeaway which is on

210
00:09:47,840 –> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: kind of both sides of the ball, and the Chiefs had,

211
00:09:50,600 –> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: you know, hovering it at minus eleven, minus twelve, weren’t

212
00:09:53,440 –> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: taking it away, had twenty eight giveaways. Like we’ll see

213
00:09:56,280 –> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: that they’re not going to make it. This team is

214
00:09:58,800 –> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: not going to happen. And then I kept saying, even

215
00:10:01,800 –> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: after the much mentioned Christmas Day lost to the Raiders

216
00:10:06,160 –> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: at home, I said, there’s still nine and six, like,

217
00:10:09,360 –> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: if this gets fixed, they will turn into a force.

218
00:10:12,320 –> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: And that’s exactly what we’ve seen.

219
00:10:13,760 –> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: And we’re going to talk about fixing it all the

220
00:10:15,920 –> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: way to the finish line. That’s where we’re at with

221
00:10:18,240 –> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: this Kansas City Chiefs offense. But it’s been impressive because

222
00:10:21,200 –> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: they’ve indeed fixed it.

223
00:10:22,559 –> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: Not to get off track, but you reminded me of

224
00:10:24,200 –> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 4: this when you were talking about the subjective nature of

225
00:10:26,559 –> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: drop passes. My very first job in sports ever was

226
00:10:29,559 –> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: working for the Kansas City t Bones now known as

227
00:10:31,600 –> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Monarchs, an independent baseball team, and I

228
00:10:34,800 –> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: was an intern. And one of my jobs in the

229
00:10:36,840 –> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 4: media department is occasionally I would be the one that

230
00:10:39,440 –> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 4: would score the games.

231
00:10:40,520 –> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: You were the official score.

232
00:10:41,760 –> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 4: That would be the official score, as like a twenty

233
00:10:43,840 –> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 4: three year old intern, and I was really the way,

234
00:10:46,240 –> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: that’s a brutal job. It’s really hard. It was fun,

235
00:10:49,559 –> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 4: but really difficult, and the hardest thing is deciding is

236
00:10:52,920 –> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 4: that an error or is that a base hit or

237
00:10:56,280 –> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 4: not in error. And one of my first games I

238
00:10:59,120 –> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 4: gave out like nine error and they’re like, listen, you

239
00:11:01,000 –> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 4: gotta cool it, man, Like, come on, it’s hard. Anyway,

240
00:11:05,480 –> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 4: You’re totally right.

241
00:11:06,280 –> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: I think ball players, though, are so persnickety.

242
00:11:08,760 –> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: Well I would I got it talking to you by

243
00:11:10,320 –> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 4: the manager about.

244
00:11:11,160 –> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: It and at that level and being in that ballpark,

245
00:11:15,280 –> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: which is an awesome ballpark, great place to go to

246
00:11:17,080 –> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: the game. Go find a Monarch’s game this summer. It

247
00:11:19,160 –> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: is a great place. But you would get guys in

248
00:11:22,240 –> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: the dugout staring at you like, what did you you

249
00:11:25,000 –> 00:11:26,359
Speaker 1: know pops up on the scoreboard?

250
00:11:26,480 –> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, error.

251
00:11:27,160 –> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 4: Well some of these guys are trying to get a

252
00:11:28,360 –> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: hit dog, like they’re trying to get contracts, And I’m like, no,

253
00:11:31,559 –> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 4: man should have made that play while meeting a hot dog. Anyway,

254
00:11:35,240 –> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: you’re right about this team’s resiliency, right.

255
00:11:37,320 –> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: Because some guy’s hitting two thirty five one.

256
00:11:39,200 –> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: I’d be hitting three h five if we didn’t have

257
00:11:41,480 –> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: a twenty three year old scorekeeper.

258
00:11:43,280 –> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: I love it.

259
00:11:43,760 –> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 4: But think about the baseball analogy, because if you’re a

260
00:11:45,880 –> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 4: player that makes two or three errors in a game,

261
00:11:47,880 –> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: even if maybe they shouldn’t have been errors. It’s easy

262
00:11:50,440 –> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: for that to compound on itself and you just say

263
00:11:53,240 –> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: it’s not my day. And for the Chiefs, many times

264
00:11:55,440 –> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: this year they could have said it’s not our season.

265
00:11:57,800 –> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 4: We’ve played a lot of football over the last several years,

266
00:12:00,160 –> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: maybe we need a reset. They said, no, we’re not

267
00:12:03,000 –> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 4: going to do that. We’re going to figure it out

268
00:12:04,559 –> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: this year. And it says so much about this team

269
00:12:07,200 –> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 4: that mentally they were able to do that because all

270
00:12:09,600 –> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 4: along the foundation was there for this group. We know

271
00:12:13,920 –> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: what they could do. We saw it in training camp,

272
00:12:15,600 –> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 4: and we saw it during a lot of the wins

273
00:12:17,320 –> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 4: this year and the triumphs this year. There was also

274
00:12:20,040 –> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 4: a lot of bad luck this season at times, and

275
00:12:22,520 –> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 4: the Chiefs still found a way to persevere through that.

276
00:12:25,520 –> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 4: And all along what you and I talked about, you know,

277
00:12:28,200 –> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 4: the one seed was in play for quite a while,

278
00:12:30,080 –> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: but we kind of stopped thinking about that. We were like,

279
00:12:32,559 –> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: let’s win the division, get into the playoffs where everyone’s

280
00:12:35,320 –> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: record is zero and zero, and then let’s see what happens.

281
00:12:38,440 –> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 4: And that’s what has occurred here. The Chiefs won the division,

282
00:12:41,240 –> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: they got into the postseason. It was a difficult road,

283
00:12:43,840 –> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 4: having to play the Dolphins, then the Bills in Buffalo

284
00:12:46,679 –> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 4: and the Ravens in Baltimore. But we’ve seen what can

285
00:12:49,920 –> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: happen when a team like this with the talent that

286
00:12:51,960 –> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 4: it has, with the best defense in the NFL, the

287
00:12:54,600 –> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 4: best quarterback in the NFL, the greatest tight end of

288
00:12:57,040 –> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 4: all time, and one of the greatest head coaches of

289
00:12:59,040 –> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: all time. You put those players in that combination in

290
00:13:02,960 –> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: a single elimination tournament, good things can happen. And that’s

291
00:13:05,920 –> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: what we’ve seen so far with this group.

292
00:13:08,080 –> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: Let’s look at this empirically and how the Chase have

293
00:13:10,200 –> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: fixed these three areas that were the biggest concern. Oh

294
00:13:13,800 –> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: I guess on Christmas Day or the day after Christmas.

295
00:13:16,600 –> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: And one with the drops only three in the playoffs

296
00:13:20,960 –> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: in three hard games, think about it, minus twenty eight

297
00:13:23,880 –> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: win Chill at Buffalo at Baltimore. Three drops in three

298
00:13:28,360 –> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: playoff games, and two of those were Kelsey’s. Kel said

299
00:13:31,760 –> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: two of those in the brutally cold game against Miami.

300
00:13:34,200 –> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: The only other drop in three games in the playoffs,

301
00:13:36,840 –> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: Richie James Junior was ruled to have a drop in

302
00:13:39,440 –> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game.

303
00:13:40,880 –> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 4: That was a hard play though. That’s a real that

304
00:13:43,280 –> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 4: fits exactly what I’m.

305
00:13:44,080 –> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: Okay, Richie James Junior is looking at you at the

306
00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: dugout going the neck.

307
00:13:47,480 –> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: That’s a hit man, that’s not an air.

308
00:13:49,080 –> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: But the point is it has been not only cleaned

309
00:13:52,160 –> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: up in the drops, it has been dramatically cleaned up.

310
00:13:56,240 –> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: And so people like, where are the Chiefs in the

311
00:13:59,480 –> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? So one of the areas is and you

312
00:14:01,679 –> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: said that they did this on the fly. This team

313
00:14:04,320 –> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: is not dropping the football anymore.

314
00:14:06,280 –> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: And not dropping the football and critical moments. That was

315
00:14:08,720 –> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: the issue at times during the season. It wasn’t just drops.

316
00:14:12,040 –> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 4: The drops seemed to happen at some of the worst

317
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 4: possible times, and that’s just bad luck. And in so

318
00:14:17,320 –> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 4: many ways we’ve talked about this on previous episodes. We

319
00:14:20,320 –> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 4: saw the flip side of that against the Ravens where

320
00:14:23,600 –> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 4: it’s third and nine. You need to make a play

321
00:14:26,160 –> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 4: otherwise the Ravens are going to get the ball back

322
00:14:28,200 –> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: with more than two minutes and a chance to tie

323
00:14:30,080 –> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 4: the football game, and the Chiefs third nine, Patrick Mahomes

324
00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: puts it up there against the zero blitz from Markois

325
00:14:35,920 –> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: Valdez scantling and NVS comes down with the football and

326
00:14:39,440 –> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: that’s experience right there. That’s the moment not being too

327
00:14:42,320 –> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 4: big for you. It’s knowing that you’ve been there before,

328
00:14:45,040 –> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 4: You’ve achieved success in that moment before, and you can

329
00:14:47,600 –> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: do it again. And we saw that from this team.

330
00:14:50,040 –> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: And that’s why I mean, it’s easy nationally to look

331
00:14:53,840 –> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: at the Chiefs after a tough loss in Week eleven

332
00:14:56,720 –> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 4: and be like, oh, what’s going on? What’s happening? These

333
00:14:59,280 –> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: guys know how to when everything is on the line.

334
00:15:02,560 –> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 4: They want to win every single game, but in these moments,

335
00:15:05,040 –> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 4: they know how to win. They know how to play

336
00:15:07,040 –> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: their best football, and we have certainly seen the best

337
00:15:09,160 –> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: football from the Chiefs during this playoff runt.

338
00:15:11,440 –> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

339
00:15:11,640 –> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: I love the interviews you did with Brian Baldinger and

340
00:15:13,600 –> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: Chris Long because those two guys I respect in aaza

341
00:15:16,400 –> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: with Baldi during NFL Network on Monday. But those two

342
00:15:19,520 –> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: guys knew they see what we saw, they go if

343
00:15:21,960 –> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: that just gets fixed, then all of a sudden look

344
00:15:24,680 –> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: out for these guys, And no very few other than

345
00:15:27,200 –> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: those two talked about it nationally. So one area cleaned

346
00:15:30,440 –> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: up fixing it was the drops other one penalties ten

347
00:15:33,480 –> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: penalties in three playoff games total ten and you’re talking

348
00:15:37,680 –> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: about being at Buffalo and at Baltimore and in frenzied

349
00:15:42,960 –> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: crowds that just wanted to eat your flesh, and it

350
00:15:46,720 –> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: was the other team. The other teams have twenty one

351
00:15:49,480 –> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: penalties in three playoff victories. The Chiefs have ten. That

352
00:15:52,560 –> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: is a dramatic improvement because in every one of these games,

353
00:15:55,720 –> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: every one of these playoff games, including Super Bowl fifty eight,

354
00:15:58,880 –> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: the discussion has been the coaching staff and the players,

355
00:16:01,960 –> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: don’t get behind the chains. Don’t have a second and

356
00:16:04,480 –> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: seven holding call. Now it’s second and seventeen. Stay away

357
00:16:07,720 –> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: from the first and twenty five or the third and twelve,

358
00:16:10,400 –> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: because every opponent we played along the way, praise on that.

359
00:16:14,640 –> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: If you’re the opponent defense and this offense has stayed

360
00:16:16,960 –> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: away only ten penalties in three games.

361
00:16:19,280 –> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 4: And you’re right that those penalties during the season were

362
00:16:21,800 –> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 4: just drive killers, Like the Chiefs would be rolling down

363
00:16:24,680 –> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: the field and you feel really good about it, and

364
00:16:26,920 –> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 4: then it’d be all of a sudden second and twenty

365
00:16:30,200 –> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 4: and it’s just so hard to dig yourself out of that.

366
00:16:32,400 –> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 4: And in recent years, the Chiefs offense has been so

367
00:16:34,520 –> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 4: explosive that maybe we took it for granted. A little

368
00:16:37,120 –> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 4: bit that, Hey, third and seventeen, no big deal. It’s

369
00:16:39,640 –> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 4: hard for any team to convert when it’s a double

370
00:16:43,040 –> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: digit yardage required and it’s second town or later. And

371
00:16:46,120 –> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 4: that was the issue, is the Chiefs were finding themselves

372
00:16:48,600 –> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: and these holes in the red zones sometimes as well,

373
00:16:51,480 –> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: and kind of just beating themselves. They haven’t done that

374
00:16:54,160 –> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: during this postseason run. And I think getting off to

375
00:16:57,320 –> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 4: a fast start against San Francisco is really imperative because

376
00:17:00,280 –> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: that’s what we’ve seen here from the Chiefs offense during

377
00:17:02,680 –> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 4: this playoff run. And it goes hand in hand with

378
00:17:04,560 –> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 4: your comments about how they’re avoiding penalties. Think about the

379
00:17:07,960 –> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: first two drives against Baltimore a couple weeks ago, both

380
00:17:11,359 –> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 4: touchdown drives on those two possessions, the Chiefs combined for

381
00:17:15,280 –> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 4: twenty six plays, one hundred and fifty six yards, twelve

382
00:17:18,760 –> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 4: first downs, and nearly fifteen minutes time of possession. Think

383
00:17:22,560 –> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 4: about the Buffalo game. They start that game by scoring

384
00:17:25,160 –> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: on five straight drives, and then against Miami has scored

385
00:17:28,640 –> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 4: on three of their first four drives. That’s important here

386
00:17:32,040 –> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 4: in this game, We’re going to talk a lot about

387
00:17:33,440 –> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 4: the Niner defense. They’re really good, got to make sure

388
00:17:35,280 –> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 4: you keep the pressure on them. But one of the

389
00:17:37,080 –> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: ways that you can do that stay out of negative

390
00:17:39,600 –> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 4: situations and stay out of penalties that are drive killers.

391
00:17:42,520 –> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 4: The Chiefs have been so good about that during this

392
00:17:44,280 –> 00:17:46,719
Speaker 4: playoff run. Got to do it now here again against

393
00:17:46,720 –> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 4: the Niners.

394
00:17:48,000 –> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: The third area again the drops Chiefs have cleaned it up.

395
00:17:51,160 –> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: They’ve fixed it to the penalties. They fixed it. The

396
00:17:53,760 –> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: third is the giveaway takeaway. Playoff Patrick is showing up

397
00:17:57,200 –> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: no interceptions during the playoffs, and even if you take

398
00:18:00,280 –> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: the last two games of the regular season, in this

399
00:18:03,040 –> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: five game winning streak, the Chiefs only have four giveaways

400
00:18:07,520 –> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: in five games, and so that got cleaned up. And

401
00:18:11,560 –> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: again being minus eleven or minus twelve or down there

402
00:18:13,960 –> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: near the bottom of the league where the Chiefs were

403
00:18:15,560 –> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: hovering all the year. Throughout the year, it does not

404
00:18:18,359 –> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 1: add up to a team that makes it to the

405
00:18:19,720 –> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: super Bowl. But cleaning it up at the right time,

406
00:18:22,480 –> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: we’ve seen playoff Patrick stay away from the mistake, and

407
00:18:27,760 –> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the Chiefs are plus two in

408
00:18:30,320 –> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and here we are.

409
00:18:31,880 –> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: You want some advanced metrics. I know sometimes we don’t

410
00:18:35,080 –> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 4: really agree with these, but one of the advanced metrics

411
00:18:37,040 –> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 4: that I think is we agree with it.

412
00:18:38,680 –> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: It’s like a political poll. If it looks good for

413
00:18:41,119 –> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, we love it. It’s great.

414
00:18:43,080 –> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: If it’s not, it’s like, oh, come on, man, that’s

415
00:18:44,720 –> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: some dude in his basement being weird.

416
00:18:46,280 –> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 4: Well, sometimes when people that are not inside the building

417
00:18:50,640 –> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 4: are grading players based on assignments that they don’t know

418
00:18:53,840 –> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: the full picture, it can be difficult for them to

419
00:18:56,640 –> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 4: grade properly. Right, But what some of these outlets are

420
00:18:59,600 –> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 4: really good at is providing data. And one of the

421
00:19:03,240 –> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 4: data points that I enjoy looking at is turnover worthy plays,

422
00:19:06,680 –> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: all right, and what that is if you look at

423
00:19:09,040 –> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 4: just interceptions and fumbles, doesn’t always tell the full story.

424
00:19:11,640 –> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 4: I could throw a pass right at the defender and

425
00:19:13,440 –> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 4: they drop it, it’s just an incomplete pass. Or they

426
00:19:16,000 –> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 4: can make an incredible play on a pass that shouldn’t

427
00:19:18,240 –> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: have been intercepted, they pick it off, it’s an interception

428
00:19:20,920 –> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: on me. Well, turnover worthy plays is done by Pro

429
00:19:23,800 –> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 4: Football Focus, and it’s basically trying to evaluate is that

430
00:19:27,720 –> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: a play that should have led to a turnover or

431
00:19:30,000 –> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 4: could have led to a turnover.

432
00:19:31,400 –> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: That’s big And that’s just one I agree with with

433
00:19:33,560 –> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. I’ve looked at that and this year

434
00:19:36,280 –> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: when you look at it, because Patrick’s interceptions, how many

435
00:19:39,200 –> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: of those should have.

436
00:19:39,960 –> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 4: Been caught exactly?

437
00:19:40,760 –> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 2: They were not turnover worthy plays. So I will applaud

438
00:19:43,480 –> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: this one from PFF.

439
00:19:44,560 –> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 4: That’s the other side of it is if it’s a

440
00:19:46,160 –> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: pass that hit a player in the hands and it

441
00:19:47,680 –> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: bounces off into the defender’s hands, that’s not on the quarterback,

442
00:19:50,680 –> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 4: that wouldn’t be a turnover worthy play anyway. Why am

443
00:19:53,240 –> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: I saying all of this? Well, during the postseason, Patrick

444
00:19:55,880 –> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: has dropped back one hundred and fourteen times in three games.

445
00:19:59,480 –> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: You know how many turnover worthy plays. He’s committed zero,

446
00:20:03,400 –> 00:20:06,679
Speaker 4: zero turnover worthy plays on one hundred and fourteen dropbacks.

447
00:20:06,760 –> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 4: And that actually extends back to the Bengals game as well,

448
00:20:09,760 –> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 4: because that Bengals game felt like a playoff game if

449
00:20:12,200 –> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 4: you were there, and in that game he had thirty

450
00:20:14,480 –> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 4: three dropbacks, zero turnover worthy plays. So with Mahomes, it’s

451
00:20:20,240 –> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 4: not just the touchdowns and the passing yards that’s been great.

452
00:20:23,359 –> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 4: He has seven hundred and eighteen passing yards four touchdowns

453
00:20:26,000 –> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 4: during this playoff run. It’s also avoiding the mistakes because

454
00:20:29,960 –> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 4: against some of these really great defenses like Baltimore and

455
00:20:32,680 –> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: like another one that we’ll face here in San Francisco.

456
00:20:34,920 –> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 4: You can’t give them short fields. You can’t take away

457
00:20:39,040 –> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 4: possessions from yourself with a turnover. And Mahomes has been

458
00:20:43,560 –> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 4: so good at avoiding mistakes during this playoff run.

459
00:20:46,080 –> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 2: Got to keep it going again.

460
00:20:47,600 –> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: If you on the sound behind us, if you’re just

461
00:20:50,560 –> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: listening and not watching, is the fountains here at the

462
00:20:54,480 –> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: Lake Las Vegas, our locale that has been our headquarters

463
00:20:58,119 –> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: throughout our Super Bowl coverage. While we’re on playoff Pat.

464
00:21:01,600 –> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: Let’s just talk about playoff Pat. And you talked about

465
00:21:03,800 –> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: fast starts. The Kansas City Chiefs have scored on their

466
00:21:07,640 –> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: first possession in eight consecutive playoff games. That’s not happened

467
00:21:13,320 –> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: in the history of the National Football League, and the

468
00:21:15,720 –> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: next closest team has four.

469
00:21:18,480 –> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: Wow.

470
00:21:19,320 –> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: So that gives you an idea of playoff Pat. And

471
00:21:22,440 –> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: scoring on eight consecutive playoff first drives is impressive. But

472
00:21:27,160 –> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: when you look at playoff Pat’s numbers again shattering some

473
00:21:30,640 –> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: of these numbers in NFL history. His QBR in playoff

474
00:21:33,320 –> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: games is one of six point three. I mean, that’s incredible.

475
00:21:37,840 –> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: Thirty nine touchdowns. That’s the best in NFL history at

476
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: this point of a career. We know about his fourteen victories,

477
00:21:44,359 –> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: but I’d also throw the offensive line in here and

478
00:21:47,080 –> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: fixing this, and we see Nick Alagretti, who has had

479
00:21:49,760 –> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: to step in for Joe Toney.

480
00:21:51,080 –> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 2: The offensive line is a big part of this. We

481
00:21:53,320 –> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 2: mentioned that.

482
00:21:53,800 –> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 1: They decided on the day after Christmas no more and

483
00:21:57,480 –> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: they led the charge. Go back and listen to our

484
00:22:00,080 –> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: some of our previous episodes. But the fact that Ellegrady

485
00:22:02,800 –> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: has been able to fit in and the playoff pat

486
00:22:04,640 –> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: is turning into playoff pat has got us to this

487
00:22:07,640 –> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: point and it’s been impressive to see how the team

488
00:22:09,800 –> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: has fixed.

489
00:22:10,240 –> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 4: It and facing some really good defensive lines too. Facing

490
00:22:13,119 –> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 4: the Ravens defensive front, they the most sacks in the

491
00:22:15,280 –> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 4: NFL this year and they don’t blitz very much. The

492
00:22:18,280 –> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: Bills defensive front at Oliver had like the fourth most

493
00:22:21,200 –> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: pressures of any interior offensive lineman in the league this year.

494
00:22:23,920 –> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: He had zero pressures against the Chiefs in that Buffalo game,

495
00:22:26,960 –> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: and the Dolphins were beat up defensively. We all know that,

496
00:22:29,359 –> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 4: but still have some really good players on that team.

497
00:22:31,680 –> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 4: His Chiefs offense and the offensive line, to your point,

498
00:22:34,359 –> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 4: has just really accepted the challenge. And if you listen

499
00:22:37,000 –> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: to any Chiefs press conference or media session or anything,

500
00:22:40,359 –> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 4: you’re gonna hear the word challenge like one hundred times.

501
00:22:43,920 –> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 4: It’s like the Bengo word throughout every Chiefs media session.

502
00:22:47,440 –> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 4: But that’s real. That’s how the guys look at it.

503
00:22:49,359 –> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 4: They want to accept the challenge and they love the challenge.

504
00:22:52,080 –> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 4: And those are the kind of players you want in

505
00:22:54,359 –> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 4: these big games and we certainly have them.

506
00:22:57,119 –> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: That and the triangle, how do they has the Chiefs

507
00:22:59,359 –> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: fix this Over the span of this five game winning streak,

508
00:23:01,880 –> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: I think we need to revisit the triangle, and the

509
00:23:03,640 –> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: triangle became the point of emphasis for this offense, not

510
00:23:07,240 –> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: just playoff pat but the energy that is created by

511
00:23:10,359 –> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: the triangle of Kelsey, Mahomes and Pachecko.

512
00:23:12,520 –> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: If you look at it, Pachecko.

513
00:23:13,680 –> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: So far in the playoffs, twice during the playoffs, he

514
00:23:16,760 –> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: has had twenty four carries twenty four. He did it

515
00:23:20,040 –> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: at Baltimore. He did it against the Miami Dolphins in

516
00:23:22,320 –> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: that cold game. We saw Raschie Rice go for one

517
00:23:24,880 –> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards receiving in the Miami game, and

518
00:23:27,520 –> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: then Kelsey’s been Kelsey twenty three catches, two hundred and

519
00:23:30,240 –> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: sixty two yards, that’s the best in the NFL during

520
00:23:33,119 –> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: the postseason, and his three touchdowns are the best. And

521
00:23:36,520 –> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: even if you look at Pachecko from a standpoint of

522
00:23:38,560 –> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: all purpose yards, he’s number one in the league. Now,

523
00:23:41,400 –> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: people would say if McCaffrey had a third game, remember

524
00:23:43,720 –> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: he had a buy that he would have more than Pachecko. Okay,

525
00:23:46,200 –> 00:23:48,479
Speaker 1: I’ll give you that, but guess who would be second.

526
00:23:48,640 –> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: It would be Isaiah Pachecko. So this triangle has been

527
00:23:52,760 –> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: the centrifugal force, if you will, where all of this

528
00:23:56,560 –> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: other kind of fix it stuff has kind of spun

529
00:23:59,520 –> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: off of the energy of those three guys.

530
00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 4: Those three players during the Chiefs playoff run, so three

531
00:24:04,600 –> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: games have seven hundred and seventy one combined scrimmage yards.

532
00:24:08,000 –> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 4: That’s seventy percent of the Chiefs offensive production. So they’ve

533
00:24:11,520 –> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 4: kind of found their formula. It’s funneling the offense through

534
00:24:14,800 –> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 4: those three players, and then other guys will make plays

535
00:24:17,840 –> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: on top of that. That’s what we’ve seen and the

536
00:24:20,119 –> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 4: balance on offense has really stood out to me here

537
00:24:22,840 –> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 4: during the postseason run. Look at the game against Buffalo,

538
00:24:26,200 –> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 4: the Chiefs ran it twenty four times, through it twenty

539
00:24:28,720 –> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 4: three times. Then against Baltimore they ran it thirty two times,

540
00:24:32,240 –> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 4: through it thirty nine times. Again looking at the San

541
00:24:35,040 –> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 4: Francisco team, I really think that is what the Chiefs

542
00:24:38,160 –> 00:24:40,640
Speaker 4: need to do against them. It’s to have that balance,

543
00:24:40,760 –> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: is to have success running the football, which we can

544
00:24:42,800 –> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 4: get to in a moment I believe they can, and

545
00:24:44,680 –> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 4: then throwing the football as well with great efficiency.

546
00:24:47,960 –> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 1: So we’ll close out by looking here at San Francisco’s defense,

547
00:24:52,280 –> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: much like we did looking at San Francisco’s offense on

548
00:24:55,280 –> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: our episode on Tuesday. But the San Francisco defense is good.

549
00:24:59,440 –> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: Let’s just call what it is.

550
00:25:00,560 –> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: It’s good.

551
00:25:01,400 –> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: And they’ve got guys that are holdovers from Super Bowl

552
00:25:03,960 –> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: fifty four.

553
00:25:04,720 –> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 2: And we saw these guys last year. We played them

554
00:25:06,560 –> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 2: last year.

555
00:25:06,920 –> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: I mean Pat threw for four to twenty four in

556
00:25:08,480 –> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: these guys a year ago in San Francisco in a

557
00:25:10,680 –> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: forty four to twenty four win. But Nick Bosa is there,

558
00:25:13,600 –> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: these linebackers with Warner and green Law are there, Charius Ward, former.

559
00:25:17,160 –> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: Chief is there.

560
00:25:17,960 –> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: Who’s not there is Whu Fung of their safety. Troy

561
00:25:21,600 –> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: Palamalo’s cousin, and he plays like Troy Palamalo in his prime.

562
00:25:26,040 –> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: To lose him was a big blow to this defensive team.

563
00:25:29,000 –> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: But this is a San Francisco defense that reminds me

564
00:25:32,240 –> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: of the defense as we played primarily Baltimore, where they

565
00:25:35,440 –> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: live off the turnover. But they’re having hard time getting

566
00:25:38,680 –> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: teams off the field. They are the near the bottom

567
00:25:41,359 –> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: of the league of teams in ten play drives of

568
00:25:45,040 –> 00:25:48,239
Speaker 1: five minute drives. So when San Francisco, who likes to

569
00:25:48,480 –> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: keep the ball on offense, we saw that on Tuesday,

570
00:25:51,040 –> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: when the other team gets the ball, it’s been really

571
00:25:53,760 –> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: difficult for the forty nine ers to get their opponents

572
00:25:55,920 –> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: off the field.

573
00:25:57,040 –> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 4: We are complete nerds, and one of the things that

574
00:25:59,520 –> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 4: I love to do during the week is I look

575
00:26:01,960 –> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 4: at the basic numbers for a team offensively and defensively,

576
00:26:05,720 –> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 4: in this case, the defensive numbers for the Niners. And

577
00:26:08,680 –> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 4: on the surface, they’re very good. I mean, they’re the

578
00:26:10,760 –> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 4: number three scoring defense in the NFL this year, behind

579
00:26:14,160 –> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 4: just Baltimore and Kansas City. But I like to learn

580
00:26:16,840 –> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 4: more about them and figure it out, like kind of

581
00:26:18,480 –> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 4: like a puzzle, right, And there’s some really interesting numbers

582
00:26:20,840 –> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 4: here about the Niners. They are the number eight total

583
00:26:23,680 –> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 4: defense in the NFL. That means that they’re allowing the

584
00:26:26,880 –> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 4: eight fewest yards of any team, but still there’s a

585
00:26:29,280 –> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 4: gap there. There are several teams ahead of them that

586
00:26:32,119 –> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 4: are allowing fewer yards but more points. And why so

587
00:26:35,560 –> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 4: I dig into it a little bit because the Chiefs

588
00:26:37,280 –> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 4: are the number two scoring and total defense in the league. Well,

589
00:26:41,000 –> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 4: they’ve allowed forty two ten play drives this season, to

590
00:26:44,240 –> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 4: your point, most in the NFL. That’s surprising for a

591
00:26:47,560 –> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: team that is so good at limiting points that they’re

592
00:26:50,080 –> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 4: allowing a decent amount of yards and so many ten

593
00:26:53,520 –> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 4: play drives. So what is the difference, Well, one of

594
00:26:56,080 –> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 4: them is takeaways. Just kind of like our conversation a

595
00:26:58,880 –> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 4: couple of weeks ago about Baltimore and also a better

596
00:27:02,200 –> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 4: conversation about the Bills three weeks ago, because they were

597
00:27:04,320 –> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 4: very similar in this regard as well. They have twenty

598
00:27:07,560 –> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 4: eight takeaways this season, fifth most in the league, and

599
00:27:10,720 –> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 4: they’ve actually faced the second fewest offensive possessions of any

600
00:27:14,920 –> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 4: team with one hundred and seventy four. So if you

601
00:27:17,480 –> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 4: have a bunch of takeaways and you’re not facing a

602
00:27:20,080 –> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 4: bunch of offensive possessions, it means that you’re scoring is

603
00:27:23,160 –> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 4: going to be lower because they are forcing a turnover

604
00:27:25,760 –> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 4: on fifteen point five percent of opponent possessions this year.

605
00:27:29,560 –> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 4: That’s crazy. That’s the second highest rate in the NFL,

606
00:27:31,920 –> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 4: behind only Buffalo, who was at sixteen percent. So I

607
00:27:35,160 –> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 4: got my spreadsheet out and was working on this stuff

608
00:27:37,600 –> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 4: last week. When the Niners do not force a turnover,

609
00:27:40,880 –> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 4: so on their drives the opponent drives where they have

610
00:27:44,080 –> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 4: not forced a turnover, they are allowing points forty percent

611
00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: of the time. Now that includes field goals. They’re very

612
00:27:50,080 –> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 4: good in the red zone. But my point, don’t turn

613
00:27:53,200 –> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 4: the ball over against these guys. Don’t turn it over

614
00:27:55,359 –> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 4: against them. If you don’t turn it over against them,

615
00:27:57,600 –> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 4: they’ve shown this year you can move the football on them.

616
00:28:00,080 –> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 4: This Chiefs offense can find success, but turnovers are the

617
00:28:03,240 –> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 4: great equalizer. And all of this the Chiefs fortunately against Baltimore,

618
00:28:07,119 –> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 4: who had the most takeaways in the NFL this year,

619
00:28:09,960 –> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 4: they were plus three against Baltimore. Like you said, didn’t

620
00:28:12,880 –> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 4: turn the ball over once. The Ravens turned it over

621
00:28:15,240 –> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 4: three times. That was the Ravens’ strength. Their defense was

622
00:28:17,720 –> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 4: so good, but they forced a lot of turnovers and

623
00:28:19,640 –> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 4: took drives away from teams. The Chiefs didn’t let them

624
00:28:21,720 –> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 4: do that. You cannot let San Francisco do the same

625
00:28:23,680 –> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 4: thing because it’s a very similar setup with how they

626
00:28:26,359 –> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 4: stop the opponents taking the football away.

627
00:28:28,240 –> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: And most of the times you think it takeaways from dbs.

628
00:28:30,440 –> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: This linebacker corps, and we know about Greenlaw and Warner.

629
00:28:34,320 –> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: Greenlaw had two interceptions against green Bay. Those guys are

630
00:28:38,120 –> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: the guys that will get a bulk of these turnovers,

631
00:28:40,200 –> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: and the way they play, they rely on a four

632
00:28:42,200 –> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: man rush. San Francisco blitz. They do not blitz. They’re

633
00:28:46,200 –> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 1: in the bottom two or three of the league in blitzing.

634
00:28:49,200 –> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: But their four man pressure is there. But where they

635
00:28:52,000 –> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: become devastating is that second level of the defense. They’ll

636
00:28:55,200 –> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: not only stop you, they will take the ball away.

637
00:28:58,400 –> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: And these linebackers are are very highly skilled. All right,

638
00:29:01,840 –> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: we’ll close it this way though, running the ball. Green

639
00:29:04,560 –> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: Bay ran it on him. Detroit ran all over them.

640
00:29:07,960 –> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 1: Almost one hundred and ninety yards rushing by the Detroit Lions.

641
00:29:10,840 –> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: We have to be wondering, how’d we lose that game?

642
00:29:13,000 –> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: Same way Baltimore is going, How did we lose that

643
00:29:14,960 –> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: game to the Chiefs? Well, three over Zeros, pretty good

644
00:29:17,720 –> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: way of losing it. But still not that the Chiefs

645
00:29:21,160 –> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: will run the ball forty times. But this is a

646
00:29:24,520 –> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco defense that has to prove in Super Bowl

647
00:29:28,080 –> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: fifty eight that they can stop the run because it

648
00:29:30,840 –> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: is one been one of the biggest topics of discussion

649
00:29:33,040 –> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: throughout media row is what happened to San Francisco’s run defense.

650
00:29:36,560 –> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, They’ve allowed three hundred and eighteen rushing yards in

651
00:29:39,040 –> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 4: two playoff games. That’s an average of five point five

652
00:29:41,680 –> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 4: eight yards per rush. It includes nine rushes of ten

653
00:29:45,440 –> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: or more yards. You know they’re hearing it all week,

654
00:29:47,920 –> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: so this is going to be an area of emphasis

655
00:29:49,600 –> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 4: for them. But if Isaiah Pacheco can have another big

656
00:29:52,640 –> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 4: day here in this one, if you can run the

657
00:29:54,320 –> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 4: football effectively, if the Chiefs can remain balanced offensively between

658
00:29:57,720 –> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 4: the run and the pass, really helps everything with what

659
00:30:00,880 –> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 4: the Chiefs offense wants to do. My perfect world, the

660
00:30:04,240 –> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 4: Chiefs can run the football effectively get off to a

661
00:30:06,240 –> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 4: fast start, much like the Packers and the Lions did.

662
00:30:09,480 –> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: The difference though, is the Niners are an experienced team

663
00:30:12,120 –> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 4: with a lot of good players who have been there before.

664
00:30:14,320 –> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: The Packers and the Lions not so much so. In

665
00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 4: the second half, I think we saw the experience factor

666
00:30:19,640 –> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 4: take place. I’ll give San Francisco a lot of credit.

667
00:30:22,360 –> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 4: Even though they’ve allowed a lot of these rushing yards,

668
00:30:24,240 –> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 4: they found ways to win those games. During the postseason.

669
00:30:27,600 –> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: The emphasis for the Chiefs here, get a lead like

670
00:30:30,200 –> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 4: those teams did, and don’t give it up and keep

671
00:30:32,800 –> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 4: it going in the second half. The Lions and the

672
00:30:35,280 –> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: Packers couldn’t do it. But the Chiefs they’ve proven during

673
00:30:37,880 –> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 4: this postseason run they can finish. Got to finish year

674
00:30:40,360 –> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 4: against these guys, and it really begins with running the football.

675
00:30:43,200 –> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, have very few things really bug me, but one

676
00:30:45,280 –> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: of the things was that the national narrative of like,

677
00:30:47,640 –> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: oh my gosh.

678
00:30:48,240 –> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are brutal this year, but nowthery or not.

679
00:30:51,680 –> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: You just got to do a scuba dive into them

680
00:30:53,280 –> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: and say what’s going on? And if these three areas

681
00:30:55,800 –> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: on offense would be fixed, they would become a force

682
00:30:58,360 –> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: just the way we started it. Only the thing that

683
00:31:00,560 –> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: really has bugged me this week has been trying to

684
00:31:03,040 –> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: figure out where Seymour, Missouri is now.

685
00:31:04,520 –> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 2: I’m gonna have you look it up up all night.

686
00:31:06,640 –> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: It is but I’m thinking it’s in I’m just thinking

687
00:31:08,520 –> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: it’s Seymour, Indiana that was the home of John Cougar meloncap. Okay, Okay, okay,

688
00:31:12,720 –> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: I think it’s in northeast Missouri. So I’m gonna further

689
00:31:14,880 –> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: my Do you google it right now?

690
00:31:16,360 –> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: Yes?

691
00:31:16,600 –> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Okay, now, because it’s I have to sleep tonight, okay.

692
00:31:19,320 –> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: And I’ll be worried about the San Francisco linebackers, but

693
00:31:21,960 –> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: I’ll really be worried about all of you people that

694
00:31:24,080 –> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: are listening and watching Defending the Kingdom and Seymour, Missouri.

695
00:31:27,800 –> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: He was thinking about Fred Warner and then all of

696
00:31:29,800 –> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: a sudden, Missouri, and I’m thinking John Cougar Meltcap.

697
00:31:32,360 –> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: No, it’s it’s down here. Is there Springfield?

698
00:31:34,200 –> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: I think? Oh I messed it up? Yeah, So what

699
00:31:36,000 –> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: county is it? Green County?

700
00:31:38,200 –> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 4: Whatever? That Orange County is there?

701
00:31:39,960 –> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay?

00:31:45,680 –> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 4: here’s the main drag love it.

704
00:31:47,400 –> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

705
00:31:47,720 –> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we’re learning so much here on this DTK. Seymour, Missouri.

00:31:51,160 –> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, check out everybody in Seymour. So here we go.

707
00:31:54,280 –> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: We’re gonna go win a Lombardi Trophy. And the main

708
00:31:57,280 –> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: reason is we fixed it all the way to the

709
00:32:00,640 –> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: finish line, even if that finish line is Seymour, Missouri,
