1
00:00:00,240 –> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta meets Kansas City this week in Sunday Night Football.

2
00:00:03,160 –> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: What a week one and week two for both of

3
00:00:05,720 –> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: these teams, especially in exhilarating victory for Atlanta maybe their

4
00:00:09,920 –> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: most important victory since they won the NFC Championship all

5
00:00:13,240 –> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: the way back in twenty sixteen. And for the Chiefs,

6
00:00:16,160 –> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: two terrific victories by the slimmest of margins in beating

7
00:00:20,360 –> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: both Baltimore and Cincinnati. And now Atlanta meets Kansas City

8
00:00:24,880 –> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: on the Sunday Night stage. This Defending the Kingdom deals

9
00:00:28,120 –> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 1: with Week three focus and it’s brought to you, of

10
00:00:30,520 –> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: course by Ticketmaster.

11
00:00:33,000 –> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: Placement is down Bucker’s kick Leg three.

12
00:00:36,440 –> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: It is high enough and it.

13
00:00:37,960 –> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: Is good judsas City.

14
00:00:42,880 –> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: Howeveryone.

15
00:00:43,320 –> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: I’m Mitchelta’s voice of the Chiefs along with senior team

16
00:00:45,840 –> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: reporter Matt McMullen. And for the Chiefs and Falcons they

17
00:00:49,640 –> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: go into Week three. But Week three feels a little

18
00:00:52,120 –> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: bit weird. We know about Week one and week two,

19
00:00:54,600 –> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: especially this year. You’re playing the AFC Championship opponents for

20
00:00:58,520 –> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: the last three years, and for Atlanta they get in

21
00:01:01,960 –> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: terrific Monday Night victory, needing a touchdowning and getting it

22
00:01:05,360 –> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: with just thirty four seconds to go. But there could

23
00:01:08,280 –> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: be a Week three ambush letdown here, so we’ll deal

24
00:01:11,800 –> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: with Week three focus.

25
00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: I think you’re alluding to that Colts game a couple

26
00:01:14,800 –> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: of years ago, which remains one of the more inexplicable

27
00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: events in recent memory, particularly for this Chief’s dynasty over

28
00:01:22,200 –> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: the last several years. It really shows that anything can

29
00:01:25,240 –> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: happen in the NFL any given Sunday is a real philosophy.

30
00:01:29,560 –> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 3: Good news is I think the Chiefs will be ready

31
00:01:31,240 –> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: for this game because they watched Monday Night Football and

32
00:01:33,480 –> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 3: saw a Falcons team that was fighting for their season

33
00:01:36,560 –> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: and came out on top against the Eagles on the road,

34
00:01:39,160 –> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: not an easy thing to do. The Chiefs should be

35
00:01:41,880 –> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 3: commended for starting two and zero though, I mean when

36
00:01:44,760 –> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: the schedule first came out, you see you have to

37
00:01:46,760 –> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: start with Baltimore and then play Cincinnati immediately after, two

38
00:01:50,440 –> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 3: teams that have been right up there with the Chiefs

39
00:01:52,200 –> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 3: at the top of the AFC over the last several seasons.

40
00:01:55,120 –> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: To be two and oh through that stretch is a

41
00:01:56,760 –> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 3: major achievement. Were off to a great start, but got

42
00:01:59,120 –> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: to keep it going here against Atlanta.

43
00:02:00,760 –> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can’t slumber on Atlanta. We’re going to get

44
00:02:02,760 –> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: into the Falcons here later on in this episode. And

45
00:02:05,840 –> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had dominated the NFC for so many years

46
00:02:08,639 –> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: and their crossover games. In fact, it’s one of my

47
00:02:11,280 –> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: thesis of why they won the division so many years.

48
00:02:14,000 –> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: And the Chiefs have won THEFC West eight years in

49
00:02:15,919 –> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: a row because they dominated those crossover games and the

50
00:02:18,960 –> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: rest of the division did not. But last year it

51
00:02:21,639 –> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 1: was two and two against the NFC North. And now

52
00:02:24,720 –> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: the NFC South looks very different than what people thought

53
00:02:27,919 –> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: it was going to be because the Saints are rolling people.

54
00:02:30,760 –> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: You look at all of these teams in the NFC

55
00:02:32,800 –> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: South Sands Carolina, and they’re better than people think.

56
00:02:36,480 –> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Buccaneers look pretty good. We’ll see them here

57
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: in a few weeks. That’s why the NFL is the best.

58
00:02:41,120 –> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: We can talk about things for months like I think

59
00:02:43,560 –> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 3: this team will be good, this team won’t be good,

60
00:02:45,680 –> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: and then a couple of weeks happen and everything changes.

61
00:02:48,360 –> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: A lot of favorites lost just last weekend. A lot

62
00:02:50,840 –> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: of teams that people thought would be really good this

63
00:02:52,560 –> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: season are starting one and one or oh and two.

64
00:02:55,840 –> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 3: I mean, it’s crazy. The Ravens and Bengals are both

65
00:02:58,600 –> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: oh and two. That right now, for those teams, that’s

66
00:03:01,160 –> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: a big deal. And particularly when you play in the

67
00:03:03,520 –> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: same division. One of those teams is in real danger

68
00:03:06,240 –> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: of missing the playoffs. And it’s crazy to be saying

69
00:03:08,160 –> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 3: that here in week three. And we’ll see what happens

70
00:03:10,440 –> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 3: as the year goes on. But you never know what’s

71
00:03:13,560 –> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: going to happen in the NFL. And I’ll just reiterate this.

72
00:03:16,160 –> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: For the Chiefs to be two and oh at this

73
00:03:17,680 –> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: point is a very big deal. Now let’s keep it rolling.

74
00:03:20,240 –> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn’t matter how you get there, You got there,

75
00:03:22,960 –> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: all right. One thing that’s always there and crazy is

76
00:03:25,639 –> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: our around the World segment on defending the Kingdom. I’ve

77
00:03:28,720 –> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: got a couple of good ones this week, but I’ll

78
00:03:30,919 –> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: let you jump into the space station in.

79
00:03:32,800 –> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: Orbit the Earth.

80
00:03:33,560 –> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: I have two for two and oh how about that?

81
00:03:35,960 –> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: I love it? All right?

82
00:03:37,000 –> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: So I heard from Mike.

83
00:03:38,000 –> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Josha Williams too. It is a great play at the

84
00:03:39,720 –> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: goal line in punt coverage.

85
00:03:40,840 –> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: There we go.

86
00:03:41,320 –> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: He did make a great play. Yeah, good for Josh.

87
00:03:43,960 –> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: I heard from Mike in Fresno, California. We’ve been really

88
00:03:47,000 –> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: big in Fresno lately because of Savior Worthy. Yeah, and

89
00:03:51,200 –> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: Mike is very proud of Xavier and Nico Romihio, who

90
00:03:54,840 –> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: of course is on the practice squad. Nico went to

91
00:03:56,720 –> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: Fresno State, Nico is still around, so he’s proud of

92
00:03:59,120 –> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: both of those guys. He also shouted out Stefan Page

93
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: at Fresno State alum. Of course, a great chief from

94
00:04:04,640 –> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: years past. So shout out to you, Mike. Then also

95
00:04:06,880 –> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: shout out to Jeff and Valerie, so I’m sure you’ve

96
00:04:09,200 –> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: met them before. They come to a lot of games.

97
00:04:11,480 –> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: Awesome people. Well, they just climbed Mountaineer last weekend, and

98
00:04:15,760 –> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: as someone that has climbed Mountaineer before, I know that

99
00:04:18,320 –> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: is not easy. So shout out to you both. Amazing achievement.

100
00:04:21,480 –> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: The photos looked amazing. Congratulations.

101
00:04:23,880 –> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 2: Did they plant a chief slag at the top of Runier?

102
00:04:26,440 –> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 3: I’m not sure all past them.

103
00:04:28,360 –> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: I don’t know if that’s illegal, but you could take

104
00:04:29,960 –> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: a photo and take it down.

105
00:04:31,040 –> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: You don’t want to get arrested, but that’s really impressive.

106
00:04:33,640 –> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it’s not easy. I’ll tell you way to go.

107
00:04:35,960 –> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: First of all, the Chiefs Kingdom show on Monday night,

108
00:04:37,960 –> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: there were people there literally from Maine, California, Let’s see

109
00:04:42,520 –> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: where else. Germany they had come to the open or

110
00:04:45,160 –> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: the game against Cincinnati.

111
00:04:46,800 –> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: And stayed over for the show. That’s awesome. There was

112
00:04:49,680 –> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: like six states in Germany.

113
00:04:51,960 –> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: We had German fans at the high ve on Bury

114
00:04:55,680 –> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: Road for Trent McDuffie. Is great, But I’ve got a

00:05:04,920 –> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: I don’t eat before games.

118
00:05:06,279 –> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: That’s true for those that don’t know. Even if it’s

119
00:05:08,200 –> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: a night game like Sunday Night Football like in Atlanta.

120
00:05:10,880 –> 00:05:12,279

00:06:40,240 –> 00:06:43,279

Speaker 2: Yeah. Whatever, happened though, guy, I don’t know.

155
00:06:59,480 –> 00:07:02,039

156
00:07:02,120 –> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: I still thought of you when I’m meeting these guys,

157
00:07:03,960 –> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: and it’s just kind of chopping it up with them, like,

158
00:07:05,680 –> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, how fun would this be? So anyway,

159
00:07:08,920 –> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 1: that’s what they did, and they’re now thinking about the Kingdom. Okay, okay,

160
00:07:13,280 –> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: they’re into this episode. I got a taste of it.

161
00:07:15,080 –> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: They got a taste of the Kingdom. So just stay

162
00:07:17,920 –> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: tuned with the Magnificent Seven and where will they go

163
00:07:20,520 –> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: next year?

164
00:07:21,720 –> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: And then there’s another group.

165
00:07:22,800 –> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Now if I’m coming out of the stadium and trying

166
00:07:24,840 –> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: to go to my car, well after the game, please

167
00:07:27,400 –> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: know how famished I am and that I love to

168
00:07:30,360 –> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: say hi to people, but no, I’m chasing the Wildebeast

169
00:07:33,400 –> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: on the National Geographic Channel.

170
00:07:35,080 –> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 3: I remember early on years ago, you told me after

171
00:07:37,320 –> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: like a preseason game, you texted me that you picked

172
00:07:40,200 –> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: up a large pizza on the way home and it’s

173
00:07:41,960 –> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: a whole thing on the ground. It’s the most relatable

174
00:07:45,120 –> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 3: thing you’ve ever said.

175
00:07:45,920 –> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: It was amazing. Yeah, it was pretty stupid, but anyway, No,

176
00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: you gotta do it.

177
00:07:49,360 –> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: We wont you gotta do it.

178
00:07:50,160 –> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: You gotta do it. And it was a celebratory pizza.

179
00:07:53,480 –> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: What can I say? But these four people stop me

180
00:07:55,640 –> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: just before I get to the car and they’re like, hey, hey,

181
00:07:57,880 –> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: you’re the guy.

182
00:07:58,760 –> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 3: Hey, so they they you’re they’re the guy.

183
00:08:01,760 –> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: You’re the guy.

184
00:08:02,680 –> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: So they came to the game, and they’re from Sacramento, California. Okay,

185
00:08:06,960 –> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: and they love the chiefs of the A’s. Soon enough,

186
00:08:09,600 –> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: soon they didn’t care about that. I said the same thing, Hey,

187
00:08:12,000 –> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: you get the A’s.

188
00:08:12,560 –> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: They’re like, we don’t care. Nobody cares about the A’s.

189
00:08:14,920 –> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: I’m like, well whatever.

190
00:08:17,160 –> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: And they’re from Stockton, California, Sacramento, California. Jet Turner, I go,

191
00:08:21,240 –> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: your name’s Jet? He goes, yeah, real name Jet. Debbie Tolbert.

192
00:08:24,520 –> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: Now she was the local tie in from the North

193
00:08:26,280 –> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: Platte Panthers, which is Deerborn on your way to Saint

194
00:08:29,520 –> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: Joseph’s training camp. Also, Rick Bridges, who’s a forty nine

195
00:08:33,440 –> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: Ers fan, they just drug him along, like why am I.

196
00:08:36,040 –> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: At this game?

197
00:08:36,960 –> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: And so I don’t know if he was miserable or

198
00:08:39,320 –> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: happy or just neutral. And then Donett car Care, I go,

199
00:08:42,840 –> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: that’s not your real name. She goes, it’s my real name.

200
00:08:45,120 –> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: Donette Carcare from Bridgeport, Connecticut. Again a group that is

201
00:08:49,040 –> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: coast to coast, but they’re all Chiefs fans and they

202
00:08:52,080 –> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: wanted to meet here. First ever Chiefs game at gha

203
00:08:54,520 –> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

204
00:08:55,600 –> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 3: They just brought along the Niner.

205
00:08:56,840 –> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: Fan and the Niner fans like, I guess I’ll go.

206
00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: And he asked to watch a last minute Chief’s.

207
00:09:01,440 –> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 2: Victory all too reminiscent.

208
00:09:03,800 –> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so anyway, those are sorry about it. Those are fun.

209
00:09:07,679 –> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: I mean, we meet these people and seriously, the Kingdom

210
00:09:12,200 –> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: is just everywhere now.

211
00:09:13,880 –> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that’s so cool. It reminds me of when

212
00:09:15,800 –> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: I was in Branson a couple of weeks ago, and

213
00:09:17,440 –> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: also when I went to Germany ahead of time a

214
00:09:19,520 –> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: couple of years ago to meet our German fans, to

215
00:09:22,120 –> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: really meet people face to face that love the Chiefs,

216
00:09:24,600 –> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: and particularly even if they’re not from Kansas City or

217
00:09:27,400 –> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: this area, they just have some connection. We love this team.

218
00:09:30,920 –> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: So much and to meet others that also love it

219
00:09:33,240 –> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 3: and to kind of share that and to just talk

220
00:09:35,600 –> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 3: about the team and our favorite moments and memories and

221
00:09:38,200 –> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 3: all that kind of thing. I just love it. And

222
00:09:40,720 –> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: it’s why this team is so special, because We’ve had

223
00:09:43,320 –> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: a chance to go to a lot of stadiums and

224
00:09:44,840 –> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: see a lot of fan bases in the NFL, and

225
00:09:46,880 –> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 3: some are great, but there’s really nothing quite like Chiefs Kingdom.

226
00:09:50,760 –> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: And I’m not just saying that as a guy wearing

227
00:09:52,760 –> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: a Chiefs quarter zip. I really believe it because I

228
00:09:54,960 –> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: grew up in it. So very cool, very cool. We

229
00:09:57,520 –> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 3: met all those people, It was great, I mean.

230
00:09:59,240 –> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: And then I’m at the Chiefs Kingdom show at High

231
00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 1: Vanbury Roadnegal from Germany’s there because she came to the game. Wow,

232
00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: this is her game to come to and she wanted

233
00:10:07,640 –> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: to go to the experience at all. So it’s just

234
00:10:10,200 –> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: fun to see how the Kingdom is expanding indeed around

235
00:10:13,240 –> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the world. All Right, we’re dealing with week three focus

236
00:10:15,840 –> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: because it’s easy to drift even early in the season,

237
00:10:19,400 –> 00:10:22,559
Speaker 1: and any reed’s been so good in September. Patrick mahomes

238
00:10:22,600 –> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: only Roger Staubach has more September wins than Patrick Mahomes

239
00:10:26,880 –> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: in his career. And yet this Atlanta game is one

240
00:10:29,760 –> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: where you’re going you had better be ready to go

241
00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: in this one because Atlanta has some dudes, they have weapons,

242
00:10:35,520 –> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: and they’re trying to break through. Do you realize in

243
00:10:37,720 –> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: Vegas seven seven seven, I guess if you play the slots,

244
00:10:40,880 –> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: doesn’t that to be in Vegas is good? Not for

245
00:10:43,200 –> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: the Falcons. They have had exactly the last three years,

246
00:10:46,400 –> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: seven wins, seven wins, seven wins.

247
00:10:49,440 –> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: They are trying to break through.

248
00:10:51,440 –> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: And how big was their seventy yard drive to win

249
00:10:55,040 –> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: at Philadelphia on Monday night?

250
00:10:56,559 –> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: It was enormous. I mean, I don’t know if a

251
00:10:59,600 –> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: lot of people gave them a chance to win that game.

252
00:11:01,559 –> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 3: Toward the end, if Sakuon Barkley hangs on to the football,

253
00:11:04,360 –> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: the Eagles win that game. Credit to the Falcons though,

254
00:11:07,360 –> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: for taking advantage of a mistake, and they sure did.

255
00:11:10,400 –> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: I mean for Kirk Cousins to take over after a

256
00:11:12,800 –> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: night where they really didn’t move the ball that much

257
00:11:15,040 –> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: and then move them down and score a touchdown almost

258
00:11:17,760 –> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: too quickly was pretty amazing. So shout out to them.

259
00:11:21,720 –> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: It shows that you cannot take this team lightly. They

260
00:11:23,760 –> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 3: have a lot of weapons. Kirk Cousins has played a

261
00:11:25,880 –> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: lot of football in his career, won a lot of

262
00:11:27,720 –> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 3: games in his career, and this team kind of has

263
00:11:30,920 –> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: a new found momentum. They feel good about what they

264
00:11:32,920 –> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 3: can achieve this season, and that division is wide open.

265
00:11:35,720 –> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: So yeah, we just we cannot take these guys lightly.

266
00:11:37,640 –> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 3: They have a lot of talent. I’m sure that stadium

267
00:11:39,679 –> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: is going to be rocking for Sunday night football. We

268
00:11:41,480 –> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: got to be ready.

269
00:11:42,480 –> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: People in the NFC talk about the Detroit Lion offensive

270
00:11:45,120 –> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: line and they should something. It’s the best offensive line

271
00:11:47,559 –> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: in the league. Ooh, Atlanta’s not far behind. Jake Matthews

272
00:11:50,960 –> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: really good at left tackle. Of course, we know all

273
00:11:52,720 –> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: the Matthews boys in the Hall of Fame and they’re

274
00:11:55,679 –> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: iron men, and so is he. He’s zeroing in on one

275
00:11:57,840 –> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five straight starts. There’s other good offensive

276
00:12:01,040 –> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: lineman there. And then b John Robinson. You Big twelve

277
00:12:04,280 –> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: fans remember him at Texas. He would just take games over.

278
00:12:07,360 –> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: He has get this one, matt In the first two weeks,

279
00:12:10,480 –> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: B John Robinson has forty eight percent of the Atlanta advances.

280
00:12:15,640 –> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: He has thirty two carries and nine receptions, so almost

281
00:12:20,520 –> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: half of the touches when Atlanta is advancing the ball,

282
00:12:24,000 –> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: it is b John Robinson.

283
00:12:25,320 –> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: He’s the key. I texted you last night. We’re recording

284
00:12:28,040 –> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: us on Tuesday, and we watched Monday Night Football last

285
00:12:30,040 –> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 3: night that Bijon is the first, second, and third priority

286
00:12:32,559 –> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 3: in this game because he’s the key to everything. He’s

287
00:12:35,920 –> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: the number eight overall pick in the draft last year.

288
00:12:38,520 –> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: He’s certainly playing like it right now, averaging more than

289
00:12:40,920 –> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 3: five yards per carry through two games, and last night

290
00:12:44,200 –> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 3: against Philadelphia he averaged nearly seven yards per carry on

291
00:12:47,559 –> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: just fourteen attempts. That included four runs of double digit yardage.

292
00:12:51,600 –> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: And here’s the thing. He’s a really good runner, but

293
00:12:54,200 –> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: he also sets up the play action, and Kirk Cousins

294
00:12:56,760 –> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 3: loves play action. He loves play action more than maybe

295
00:12:59,280 –> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 3: anybody else in the NFL. In twenty twenty two, which

296
00:13:02,559 –> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 3: is Kirk’s last full time season as a healthy starting

297
00:13:05,720 –> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL, he had the second most play

298
00:13:08,480 –> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: action dropbacks of any quarterback with two hundred and three,

299
00:13:11,559 –> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: and on those dropbacks through twelve touchdowns, passer rating over

300
00:13:14,640 –> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: one hundred. Really really good. Without play action, he threw

301
00:13:18,040 –> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 3: ten of his fourteen interceptions passer rating under ninety. Well,

302
00:13:21,800 –> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 3: for the play action to be effective, the running game

303
00:13:24,040 –> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: has to be effective. So for the Chiefs in this

304
00:13:25,920 –> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: game one, you got to make sure be John Robinson

305
00:13:28,520 –> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: isn’t ripping off long runs like he was against the Eagles.

306
00:13:31,400 –> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: But if you’re stopping that running game also kind of

307
00:13:33,800 –> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 3: preventing that play action as well. So truly, b Jhon Robinson,

308
00:13:36,760 –> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: in my opinion, is the key to the whole game.

309
00:13:39,040 –> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: In just a few minutes, we’re going to hear from

310
00:13:41,120 –> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: Chamari Connor, one of the heroes of the victory over Cincinnati.

311
00:13:45,240 –> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: There’s a lot on his play where you’re going to

312
00:13:47,120 –> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: hear he’s going to tell you about that. But especially

313
00:13:49,520 –> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: this week, the safeties and the linebackers, oh my goodness, Matt,

314
00:13:52,679 –> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: they got a lot to do with b. John Robinson

315
00:13:55,640 –> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: because of the way he can affect a game in

316
00:13:58,520 –> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: running every route a running back likes to run, even

317
00:14:01,160 –> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: some second level routes, and then just a terrific runner

318
00:14:04,720 –> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: vision balance. And we know Isaiah Pacheco’s out with the injury,

319
00:14:09,840 –> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 1: but Robinson is an elite runner. People say, don’t take

320
00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: a running back that early in the first round or

321
00:14:15,559 –> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: maybe the first round at all. No, you take this

322
00:14:17,960 –> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: guy back to your cousin’s point in play action passes.

323
00:14:20,800 –> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: Do you know how many plaction passes the Falcons threw

324
00:14:22,840 –> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: in Week one and they’re lost to Pittsburgh?

325
00:14:25,240 –> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: How many?

326
00:14:25,880 –> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: None?

327
00:14:26,400 –> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn’t like that either. They didn’t look like

328
00:14:28,560 –> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: a Kirk Cousins offense at all in Week one.

329
00:14:30,960 –> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: And it’s weird because these guys all are kind of

330
00:14:33,320 –> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: his offense in Minnesota was still kind of a Sean

331
00:14:35,840 –> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: McVay rams. These guys were all on mcvay’s ram staff

332
00:14:38,680 –> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: when they won the Super Bowl. Okay, even O’Connell up

333
00:14:41,400 –> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: at Minnesota. But these dudes that are running the offense

334
00:14:45,560 –> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: are Sean McVay guys. So you’d think, why wouldn’t they

335
00:14:48,120 –> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: run play action because you mentioned he had four more

336
00:14:50,920 –> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year before he had the achilles injury off

337
00:14:54,160 –> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: play action, those sixteen of the most in the NFL

338
00:14:57,440 –> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: in that twenty two to twenty three span you’re talking

339
00:14:59,640 –> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: about with play action passes, and then they don’t run

340
00:15:02,360 –> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: any well, don’t expect that in Week three. That’s where

341
00:15:05,280 –> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the Week three focus and the challenge on the linebackers

342
00:15:08,080 –> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: and safeties are for the Kansas City Chiefs because Cousin’s

343
00:15:11,240 –> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: so good in play action, as you mentioned, and there’s

344
00:15:13,520 –> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: other dudes besides Robinson he can throw to. Drake London

345
00:15:17,440 –> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: was very highly regarded to you, and I looked at

346
00:15:19,240 –> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: him a lot during the NFL draft analysis before he

347
00:15:22,920 –> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: was selected high pick. Another one, Darnell Mooney’s always been

348
00:15:26,800 –> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: an underrated receiver.

349
00:15:27,960 –> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we like Darnell Mooney and he made a great catch.

350
00:15:30,320 –> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: On that game winning drive. And even Ray Ray McLeod

351
00:15:32,920 –> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: last scene with the football like going near his shoe

352
00:15:36,160 –> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl fifty eight. He’s on this team too.

353
00:15:38,640 –> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: But there’s and then Kyle Pitts.

354
00:15:40,520 –> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, a very good player in Kyle Pitts. They have

355
00:15:42,440 –> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 3: a lot of weapons on this offense, but like you said,

356
00:15:45,800 –> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: it all begins with Bijon, all begins with Kirk kind

357
00:15:48,640 –> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: of setting a table with play action. In my opinion,

358
00:15:50,760 –> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: that’s where this Falcons offense wants to be. And it

359
00:15:53,520 –> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: was really kind of strange their game plan in Week

360
00:15:55,560 –> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: one against the Steelers. I don’t know if Kirk coming

361
00:15:58,640 –> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: back off the injury had anything to do with that,

362
00:16:00,560 –> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 3: because he was in the shotgun a lot and trying

363
00:16:02,800 –> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 3: to kind of figure out the timing with everything, Kirk

364
00:16:05,600 –> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: wants to be under center and kind of running a

365
00:16:07,560 –> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: traditional pro style offense. Run play action, run plays off

366
00:16:11,480 –> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: of play action in the passing game and hit some shots.

367
00:16:14,320 –> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: That’s where I think he wants to operate. And we

368
00:16:16,480 –> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: saw some more of it against the Eagles, and they

369
00:16:18,240 –> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: had some success because Bijon was again kind of gashing

370
00:16:21,360 –> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 3: the Eagles defense throughout the game. But creating pressure on

371
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: Kirk is also really important in my opinion, and if

372
00:16:27,160 –> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 3: you can stop the running game, kind of slow down

373
00:16:29,280 –> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 3: what they’re doing in play action and Kirk is just

374
00:16:31,520 –> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: dropping back. He’s kind of a different player when he’s

375
00:16:34,720 –> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 3: blitzed or under extreme pressure as compared to when he

376
00:16:38,160 –> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 3: is has a clean pocket. I mean, just the splits

377
00:16:40,800 –> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: are significant, and this season went under pressure, small sample size,

378
00:16:44,640 –> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: but still through two games he’s only thirteen of twenty

379
00:16:47,360 –> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: one for one hundred and seventy two yards, been sacked

380
00:16:49,800 –> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: three times, and has two interceptions. Went under pressure. And

381
00:16:53,240 –> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: we’ll talk to Jamari Connor a little bit later, who

382
00:16:55,520 –> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: is the master of finding ways to scheme up pressure

383
00:16:58,680 –> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: from different areas. Steve’s Bagnolo. So hopefully Steve Spagnolo can

384
00:17:02,360 –> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: generate quite a bit of pressure here against Kirk Cousins,

385
00:17:04,920 –> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: because Kirk does not like it when he’s under pressure.

386
00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: No, and before we get to the Schmari interview, third

387
00:17:11,359 –> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: down has been perplexing for both of these teams on

388
00:17:13,600 –> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: offense because when you look at the Falcons even with

389
00:17:17,400 –> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: their one on one and then went over the Eagles

390
00:17:19,000 –> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: for four of eighteen on third down, but the Chiefs

391
00:17:20,800 –> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: are only five to seventeen. The Chiefs had more fourth

392
00:17:23,640 –> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: down conversions, and they had third down conversions in a

393
00:17:26,480 –> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: victory over Cincinnati. I wouldn’t try that again. So both

394
00:17:29,320 –> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: of these teams offensively are a bit perplexed on trying

395
00:17:32,600 –> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: to be more productive on third down, and.

396
00:17:34,440 –> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 3: Both teams have the talent to do it again. That’s

397
00:17:36,520 –> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: why you can’t overlook Atlanta because there’s just so many

398
00:17:40,080 –> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: top ten draft picks on this offense, guys that you

399
00:17:42,760 –> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 3: have to respect, and players that are going to find

400
00:17:45,160 –> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: success as the season goes on. I think we’re fortunate

401
00:17:47,960 –> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways to be getting Atlanta early

402
00:17:50,080 –> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 3: in the year, because I have a feeling Atlanta maybe

403
00:17:52,880 –> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: in week eleven or twelve, if guys can stay healthy,

404
00:17:55,800 –> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 3: could really be rolling, particularly offensively, just when Kirk is

405
00:17:59,000 –> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 3: comfortable on the offense and the playmakers kind of know

406
00:18:01,320 –> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: what he wants from them, because those Minnesota teams with

407
00:18:04,359 –> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 3: Kirk kind of underrated in my opinion. They didn’t have

408
00:18:07,080 –> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 3: a ton of success in the playoffs, but generally we’re

409
00:18:09,840 –> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: always pretty good, So I think later in the year

410
00:18:12,560 –> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: this team could be very successful. You got to make

411
00:18:14,600 –> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 3: sure that the Chiefs in this game are not one

412
00:18:16,920 –> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: of the reasons they find success moving forward. The Eagles

413
00:18:19,880 –> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 3: certainly were on the losing end of that on Monday night,

414
00:18:23,119 –> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 3: and you can see how that game against the Eagles

415
00:18:25,400 –> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 3: could be kind of a springboard for Atlanta moving forward.

416
00:18:28,080 –> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: Like they saw the scheme work, they saw what they’re

417
00:18:31,119 –> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 3: being told by this new coaching staff work. The Chiefs

418
00:18:33,800 –> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: have to make sure they’re not another reason why these

419
00:18:36,960 –> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: guys buy into what they’re doing there. But I respect

420
00:18:39,560 –> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 3: for this team. I have respect for Kirk. I think

421
00:18:41,160 –> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: we both watched the Quarterback Series. I like Kirk a lot.

422
00:18:43,600 –> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 3: He seems like a great guy. Just not rooting for

423
00:18:45,680 –> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 3: him this week.

424
00:18:46,520 –> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: No, not for nor Is.

425
00:18:48,200 –> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: Our guests this week on Defending the Kingdom Week three

426
00:18:51,320 –> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: focus and by the way, the last time the Chiefs

427
00:18:53,920 –> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: went to Atlanta. It was the Eric Berry pick six

428
00:18:57,200 –> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: pick two games. Oh yeah, forever to remembered in the

429
00:19:00,760 –> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom. But maybe it’s a pick six and maybe

430
00:19:03,960 –> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: a pick two even coming because there hasn’t been a

431
00:19:06,320 –> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: pick two since that time in the National Football League.

432
00:19:09,760 –> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: But maybe Chamori Connor will get that done. If the

433
00:19:12,640 –> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom wasn’t sure who he was before, they sure

434
00:19:15,640 –> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: know who he is now. Number twenty seven Tamari Connor,

435
00:19:18,720 –> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: the second year hybrid defensive back for the Kansas City Chiefs.

436
00:19:22,320 –> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: That scoop and score was incredible. Walk us through that

437
00:19:25,520 –> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: play and how excited were you were going? I got

438
00:19:28,080 –> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: the ball and I’m going this way, so you.

439
00:19:31,160 –> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: Know I was dropping down in the middle. But the defense,

440
00:19:34,680 –> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: you know, close bads out of a great play. The

441
00:19:38,040 –> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 4: D line made a great play on the ball. Those

442
00:19:40,160 –> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 4: guys got the ball out, got a quarterback down. I

443
00:19:42,640 –> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 4: just seen the ball popped out late and I just

444
00:19:45,160 –> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 4: went to scoopy and take it all the way in.

445
00:19:47,400 –> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: When you were in the end zone, were you wondering

446
00:19:49,320 –> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: if it counted because there was a lot of confusion

447
00:19:51,320 –> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 3: at first, like was Borow down? Was he not? Did

448
00:19:53,840 –> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: you just not know and you just played through the whistle.

449
00:19:56,080 –> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 3: What happened there?

450
00:19:56,840 –> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I didn’t know.

451
00:19:58,080 –> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 4: I didn’t even want to start a selling braid, and

452
00:20:00,440 –> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 4: like guys came zumping up with me and I was like, hold,

453
00:20:03,560 –> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 4: I don’t know if it’s a testdown.

454
00:20:04,920 –> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, so smart play. I remember being up in the

455
00:20:07,280 –> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 3: press box and we didn’t really get an angle of it.

456
00:20:09,200 –> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 3: And then I saw Patrick going out for the two

457
00:20:10,960 –> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 3: point conversion. I’m like, I guess it counted, So heads

458
00:20:13,720 –> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 3: up by you.

459
00:20:14,520 –> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

460
00:20:14,760 –> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: When I called it for the play by play, maybe

461
00:20:16,840 –> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: you’ve heard the call. I was the same, but you

462
00:20:19,560 –> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: just kept going and I thought, I’m gonna keep going

463
00:20:21,880 –> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 1: with this call because if it counts, I’m going off.

464
00:20:24,240 –> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: So it was awesome.

465
00:20:25,080 –> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: My second favorite play and this was so awesome was

466
00:20:28,280 –> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: your Blitz, Your egg app Blitz. And I had Trent

467
00:20:30,640 –> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: McDuffie on The Chief’s Kingdom show Monday night and we

468
00:20:33,200 –> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: were talking about how it’s an art form but you

469
00:20:35,720 –> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: did not tip off the fact that you were coming

470
00:20:38,080 –> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: at all. What about that and going hey, I’m just

471
00:20:41,080 –> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: back here, and then you were out of a cannon.

472
00:20:43,480 –> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: Yep.

473
00:20:44,320 –> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: Well you know it really, it’s really the whole defense,

474
00:20:46,560 –> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: play up part in it, play up part, and you

475
00:20:48,720 –> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 4: know the scroung side got a hold their disguy, so

476
00:20:51,280 –> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 4: it can help me come free. So everybody play play

477
00:20:55,920 –> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 4: did their job, did they? You know they held their responsibility.

478
00:21:00,080 –> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: Then at the last minute, everybody just got into it.

479
00:21:02,600 –> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 4: So it was a great disguise and a great play.

480
00:21:05,119 –> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 3: The tight end in the backfield Justin Reid kind of

481
00:21:07,520 –> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 3: occupies him. You have a straight shot at Joe Burrow.

482
00:21:10,760 –> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: What’s going through your mind there when it’s third down

483
00:21:12,560 –> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 3: and you realize there’s no one in between you and

484
00:21:14,440 –> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: the quarterback.

485
00:21:15,080 –> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 4: It’s just don’t miss, don’t miss, don’t miss. And I

486
00:21:17,920 –> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: was just trying to take the air as fast as

487
00:21:20,000 –> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: I could before he threw the ball. So I just

488
00:21:23,080 –> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 4: tried to hurry up and go get him down, and

489
00:21:24,920 –> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 4: you got him.

490
00:21:26,440 –> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: But that brings up a poinch mar and the fact

491
00:21:28,600 –> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: that our dB is when they rush, they rushed like

492
00:21:31,080 –> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: edge rushers. So how much have you learned from McDuffie

493
00:21:35,040 –> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: and the other guys, Jay Reid about if I blitz,

494
00:21:38,280 –> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: I’ve got to be under control but still attack.

495
00:21:40,920 –> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 4: I learned a lot from those guys just every day

496
00:21:43,560 –> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: saying the way today that they do those things when.

497
00:21:46,320 –> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: When their memory is called.

498
00:21:49,480 –> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 4: Having a lot of one on ones with coach Spags

499
00:21:52,119 –> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 4: and that having that same situation of me blitzing off

500
00:21:55,040 –> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 4: the edge, of me blitzing in that gap. So I

501
00:21:58,800 –> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 4: was definitely prepared for it.

502
00:22:00,560 –> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: Just how much fun are you having right now, Jamari?

503
00:22:02,520 –> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: Because I think we all talked about in the offseason

504
00:22:04,320 –> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: this could be a big season for you. You kind

505
00:22:06,000 –> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: of paid your dues on special teams last year. Now

506
00:22:08,280 –> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 3: you have a chance to play more on defense. And

507
00:22:10,240 –> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 3: second game of the year, you have a touchdown, you

508
00:22:12,160 –> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: have a sack that sets up the game winning drive.

509
00:22:14,119 –> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: How much fun are you having right now?

510
00:22:15,840 –> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 4: I’m having I’m having time of my life. I’m having

511
00:22:18,359 –> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: a lot of fun. Been out there with the guys,

512
00:22:20,600 –> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: flying around on defense, flying around on special teams, having

513
00:22:25,040 –> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 4: a lot of fun.

514
00:22:26,400 –> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: But how much is on your plate?

515
00:22:28,560 –> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you make the kickoff coverage tackle right, let’s

516
00:22:32,240 –> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 1: start right there. What about this new kickoff rule, Like

517
00:22:34,680 –> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: you’re so close, You’re only forty yards away from those guys.

518
00:22:38,560 –> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Is it kind of weird or how much of you

519
00:22:40,080 –> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: had to adjust?

520
00:22:41,200 –> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 4: It’s definitely weird. In the preseason, I was having a

521
00:22:44,560 –> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 4: little trouble with it getting used to it. But now

522
00:22:47,119 –> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 4: I feel like I’m getting a good sense and good

523
00:22:49,840 –> 00:22:50,479
Speaker 4: feel for it.

524
00:22:51,040 –> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: And then how much is on your plate and we’re

525
00:22:52,920 –> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: asking you to do? Oh, he’s a safety, he’s a corner,

526
00:22:55,840 –> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: he’s got to be a special teammates. You got a blitch,

527
00:22:57,760 –> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: you gotta cover, you gotta tackle. How much do you

528
00:22:59,840 –> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: go we’re going into this Atlanta game. How much do

529
00:23:02,040 –> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: you have in your brain going into a game.

530
00:23:05,520 –> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 2: I try not to.

531
00:23:06,320 –> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 4: I try not to, you know, think too much about

532
00:23:08,880 –> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 4: all the things. But you know, that’s kind of that’s

533
00:23:11,880 –> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 4: kind of my role being at verstile, guy that can

534
00:23:15,440 –> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 4: play a lot of different spots. So I just take

535
00:23:17,440 –> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 4: it all in and just keep grinding at it.

536
00:23:20,680 –> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: Speaking of versatility, what do you prefer more picking off

537
00:23:23,640 –> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 3: Josh Allen like you did last year or sacking Joe Burrow.

538
00:23:27,160 –> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 4: Oh I’m a DV, so I’m always going to pick. Okay,

539
00:23:30,840 –> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 4: all right, sir, But that sack. I say the sack

540
00:23:33,840 –> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: matter of fact, just because of the situation.

541
00:23:36,480 –> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: So were you leading that to a Kirk Cousins pick?

542
00:23:39,720 –> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 3: But hey, I don’t know, what do you think about

543
00:23:41,920 –> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 3: this weekend? Facing the Falcons?

544
00:23:43,600 –> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 4: I’m excited. I’m excited for the talents. You know, they

545
00:23:45,760 –> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: played a great game on my day, So I’m excited for.

546
00:23:49,880 –> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: I’m gonna close this away.

547
00:23:51,040 –> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech defensive players have so much pride in what

548
00:23:54,680 –> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: they call LPD, and that’s the lunch pale defense goes

549
00:23:57,680 –> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: all the way back to Bud Foster and you guys

550
00:24:00,119 –> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: have great fraternity of NFL defensive players from Tech. How

551
00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: much of that have you brought to the Chiefs in

552
00:24:05,920 –> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: the National footballing.

553
00:24:07,560 –> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 4: I think I brought a lot. You know, I feel

554
00:24:10,119 –> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 4: like he’s instilled in me. You know, I carry I

555
00:24:12,920 –> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 4: try to carry myself like that every day, just having

556
00:24:15,359 –> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 4: that LPD mentality. You know, every day you’re going in

557
00:24:19,560 –> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 4: to work, you’re going in to get better. So I

558
00:24:21,920 –> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 4: try to take that with me every day on whether

559
00:24:24,560 –> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 4: it’s coming in here or if it’s you know, off

560
00:24:27,800 –> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 4: the field, on the field, I just tried to live

561
00:24:29,880 –> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 4: my life.

562
00:24:30,240 –> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: Let up, Hey, the Chiefs Kingdom knows he’s buying us

563
00:24:33,480 –> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: lunch and we’ll do so again this week against Atlama.

564
00:24:37,640 –> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: Super excited about that young man, Chamari Connor, the growth

565
00:24:42,280 –> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: he has made. People were worried about Lugerias sneed leaving

566
00:24:45,880 –> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: and heck of a player. Lj LO love you. But

567
00:24:50,040 –> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: when you see Chamarai Connor, you see so much upside

568
00:24:53,960 –> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: for him to be a dynamic defensive player.

569
00:24:56,440 –> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: I love his attitude. He is the perfect attitude for

570
00:24:58,880 –> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: this defense. Versatility is also a perfect scheme fit. Him

571
00:25:03,320 –> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 3: and Steves Bagnolo were made for each other. And look

572
00:25:05,960 –> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: at Spagnolo’s history with defensive backs here in Kansas City

573
00:25:08,720 –> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: and he kind of talked about it with Chamari a

574
00:25:10,520 –> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: couple of years ago. In twenty twenty two, Lagerius sneed

575
00:25:13,200 –> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 3: had eighteen quarterback pressures out of the slot as a

576
00:25:16,200 –> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 3: blitzer that led all defensive backs. Last season, Trent McDuffie

577
00:25:19,960 –> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 3: had sixteen pressures as a blitzer out of the slot

578
00:25:23,200 –> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 3: that led all cornerbacks. That was Chamari’s first pressure this season,

579
00:25:27,560 –> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: that sack on Joe Burrow. I have a feeling a

580
00:25:29,600 –> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: lot more coming over the course of the season. And

581
00:25:32,320 –> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: again we kid about Virginia Tech and the whole LPD thing.

582
00:25:35,560 –> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 3: He was prepared to do this more than most college

583
00:25:38,720 –> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 3: players because that’s what Tech asked him to do. Yeah,

584
00:25:41,080 –> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: and that’s again another Bretveach and his staff star They

585
00:25:44,440 –> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: watched these guys. The scheme they’re in the same with

586
00:25:47,040 –> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: Jayden Hicks. He did the same thing at Washington State.

587
00:25:50,040 –> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: So again it’s when you evaluate players. It’s more than

588
00:25:54,040 –> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: just forty times and how you do in the cone drill.

589
00:25:57,040 –> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 3: So let’s talk about this Atlanta defense against this Chiefs offense.

590
00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 3: Heya Pacheco, we know that, but this Atlanta defense is

591
00:26:03,000 –> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 3: almost a mirror image right now of the Kansas City

592
00:26:05,160 –> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 3: Chiefs defense. A lot of yards given up the Chiefs

593
00:26:08,720 –> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 3: are at are near the bottom, and some of the

594
00:26:10,240 –> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 3: defensive statistics, but when you get close to the end zones,

595
00:26:14,200 –> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 3: trying to score in the red zone, the Chiefs are

596
00:26:16,480 –> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 3: outstanding in the red zone.

597
00:26:17,720 –> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 1: They’re three of eight in touchdowns allowed, but Atlantis two

598
00:26:21,040 –> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: of seven. That was the key in their win against

599
00:26:23,680 –> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and the Saint Pittsburgh beat him with six field goals.

600
00:26:27,920 –> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh beat him eighteen to ten with six field goals.

601
00:26:30,640 –> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: They couldn’t get into the end zone. So this is

602
00:26:32,600 –> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: Atlanta team. You could say ben not break. That’s cliche,

603
00:26:35,560 –> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 1: but there’s some capable defenders on this Atlanta team, but

604
00:26:38,560 –> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: right now they’re kind of hard to score on.

605
00:26:40,840 –> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 3: Red zone has been the key. You said it, that’s

606
00:26:42,720 –> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 3: what I have circle to my sheet right here. It’s

607
00:26:44,760 –> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 3: two of seven in the red zone so far this year,

608
00:26:47,200 –> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: and that has kept the Falcons offense in games. That

609
00:26:49,920 –> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: kept them in the game against the Eagles and gave

610
00:26:51,600 –> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 3: kirkan opportunity to go win it at the end. And yeah,

611
00:26:54,440 –> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 3: they have good players on this defense. Grady Jarrett defensive tackle,

612
00:26:57,800 –> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 3: really good player. Has eight pressures, but body else on

613
00:27:00,480 –> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: their team has more than four. But Jarrett has been

614
00:27:02,560 –> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: really good in the middle of that defensive front. And

615
00:27:04,720 –> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: Jesse Bates is an outstanding safety. We know all about

616
00:27:07,760 –> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: him from his time with Cincinnati, but his play on

617
00:27:10,440 –> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: the goal line. Did you go back and watch that, Yes, sir,

618
00:27:12,920 –> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 3: a fantastic player on the goal line to prevent a touchdown.

619
00:27:15,400 –> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 3: So really good player, particularly over the middle of the field.

620
00:27:18,440 –> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: They’ve been a little leaky though, so twenty five miss

621
00:27:20,880 –> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: tackles this year, fourth most of any team in the NFL.

622
00:27:23,960 –> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 3: They’ve only forced one turnover it was a big one

623
00:27:26,359 –> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 3: who was the interception at the end of the Eagles game.

624
00:27:28,960 –> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: But just one turnover so far this year, and teams

625
00:27:31,520 –> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 3: have ran on them effectively. It’s a little unfair if

626
00:27:34,400 –> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 3: you look at the full numbers because they faced justin

627
00:27:36,280 –> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 3: fields and Jalen hurts. But still look at what Saquon

628
00:27:38,920 –> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 3: did on Monday night. He rushed for a bunch of

629
00:27:41,800 –> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: yards against these guys, and as a team, Philadelphia had

630
00:27:44,080 –> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty six yards against Atlanta. Last two weeks,

631
00:27:48,240 –> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 3: Saquon and Naji Harris have combined for twelve broken tackles.

632
00:27:51,960 –> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 3: It’s too bad Isaia Pacheco won’t play in this game

633
00:27:53,960 –> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 3: because I think he’d have an opportunity to have a

634
00:27:55,920 –> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 3: really big game. But the scheme still worked really well

635
00:27:58,880 –> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 3: for the chiefs of running the football overall. It kind

636
00:28:02,119 –> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 3: of has for the first two weeks of the year.

637
00:28:04,080 –> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: Whether it’s Carson Steel, smaj p Ryan, somebody else, whoever’s

638
00:28:07,640 –> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 3: in there, there’s going to be an opportunity I think

639
00:28:09,920 –> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 3: for some broken tackles, some big runs. We need that

640
00:28:13,320 –> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 3: here against Atlanta, particularly early in the game, to set

641
00:28:15,680 –> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 3: the tone.

642
00:28:16,840 –> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: Do people still collect comic books? This is a question

643
00:28:19,320 –> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: for our gen Z Kingdom defenders.

644
00:28:21,040 –> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: Ask Rob a Barino, our boss. He told me that

645
00:28:23,640 –> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: he has like a first edition copy.

646
00:28:25,400 –> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: He’s kind of a gen X dude, though I’m saying

647
00:28:27,359 –> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 2: gen Z is that all electric?

648
00:28:28,680 –> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 3: Good question? Now, I think some people still do.

649
00:28:31,280 –> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: They do.

650
00:28:31,640 –> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 3: I don’t really buy into all the NFT stuff personally, Okay.

651
00:28:34,680 –> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 3: I think you have to hold it in your hands

652
00:28:36,119 –> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 3: for it to be real. That’s just what I think.

653
00:28:37,760 –> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: But I love your I mean, you’re kind of millennial,

654
00:28:41,280 –> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: but you’re late old school gen X guy. The reason

655
00:28:44,600 –> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: I ask this is like picking up an old comic

656
00:28:46,720 –> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: book of Superman or Batman and going, oh, these villains. Oh,

657
00:28:51,400 –> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: there’s some old chiefs villains that play now for the

658
00:28:53,800 –> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. Matthew Judon, remember him from the Ravens trying

659
00:28:58,280 –> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: to kill Patrick Mahomes. He was literally trying to knock

660
00:29:01,320 –> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: him out end his career. Remember that.

661
00:29:03,560 –> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 3: Don’t love that?

662
00:29:04,400 –> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Here he is, he’s out there now for the Atlanta Falcons.

663
00:29:07,560 –> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons, the old Bronco. He’s out there like doctor

664
00:29:11,520 –> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: Doom much for now playing for the Atlanta Falcons. Like

665
00:29:17,640 –> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: I’m looking at these guys going ooh, there’s some old

666
00:29:20,320 –> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: villains in this game that might make it kind of fun.

667
00:29:22,440 –> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are, So it’s not really it’s funny because

668
00:29:25,080 –> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: we don’t play the Falcons a whole lot, so we

669
00:29:26,960 –> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: don’t know a ton about them, to be honest, But

670
00:29:29,240 –> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 3: when you see a lot of these players that have

671
00:29:31,280 –> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: played against us in some kind of big AFC games

672
00:29:34,240 –> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: or divisional games over the years, you start thinking, maybe

673
00:29:37,160 –> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: we know more about the Falcons than we originally thought.

674
00:29:40,440 –> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: So when you pick up those old comic books, either

675
00:29:42,880 –> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: like literally or electronically and you see those old villains, hmm,

676
00:29:48,400 –> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: that may help your Week three focus.

677
00:30:00,160 –> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: Z
