00:00:00,480 –> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: They meet again.
2
00:00:01,920 –> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 2: Yep.
3
00:00:02,240 –> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: The combatants in Super Bowl fifty four and Super Bowl
4
00:00:05,519 –> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: fifty eight meet in the regular season in Week seven
5
00:00:09,560 –> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area, as the Kansas City Chiefs will
6
00:00:12,400 –> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: travel to meet the San Francisco forty nine ers. It’s
7
00:00:16,200 –> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: also the start of the next leg of the season,
8
00:00:18,760 –> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: if you will, and tying it in the NFL’s version
9
00:00:21,960 –> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: of the Tour de France. The bike is back on
10
00:00:24,880 –> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: the mountain trail and it’s all brought to you by Ticketmaster.
11
00:00:28,920 –> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: And to give it off, the worthy on the right,
12
00:00:30,680 –> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: Sideworthy sneaks into the hands out touchdown Kansas City on
13
00:00:36,760 –> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: an RPO hand up. How everybody, I’m Mitch Holt’s voice
14
00:00:39,960 –> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen.
15
00:00:42,520 –> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: This is defending the Kingdom. This is the forty nine
16
00:00:45,240 –> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: er version of Defending the Kingdom, and it is the
17
00:00:48,280 –> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: Tour de France for the NFL. We have so many
18
00:00:51,479 –> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: European Kingdom defenders they are gonna love this one. Twenty
19
00:00:55,600 –> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: one stages in the Tour de France. As you would say,
20
00:01:00,120 –> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: for you Europeans, kilometers thirty five hundred kilometers. Here in
21
00:01:03,880 –> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: the stage, it’s thirty five hundred kilometers, which is in
22
00:01:06,920 –> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: essence about twenty seven hundred miles. When you bike the
23
00:01:10,160 –> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: Tour de France, you are biking essentially from Reno, Nevada
24
00:01:13,480 –> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: to New York City.
25
00:01:14,560 –> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
26
00:01:15,200 –> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: It is a grueling, grueling over twenty three days, a
27
00:01:21,080 –> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: brutal stretch. But it’s like the National Football League season
28
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: in years past, Matt, We’ve always talked about quarters. I said,
29
00:01:28,319 –> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: when we went to seventeen games, it felt like we
30
00:01:30,920 –> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: were going to thirds. And this year for Kansas City
31
00:01:34,680 –> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: really feels like that. With a five game, then a bye,
32
00:01:38,080 –> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: seven games in that Black Friday long weekend, and then
33
00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: five game push at the end. It feels like we’re
34
00:01:44,840 –> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: in the Tour de France and we’re wearing the yellow
35
00:01:47,080 –> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: jacket at five and zero.
36
00:01:48,760 –> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: And think about when it begins for us. And I
37
00:01:50,960 –> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: have some more numbers that can talk about a bit
38
00:01:52,680 –> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: later that really illustrate this. But for most teams, their
39
00:01:56,200 –> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: season ends in early January, they don’t go back to
40
00:02:01,000 –> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: it until late July. For US consistently, and it’s a
41
00:02:05,160 –> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: great problem to have, but we’ve gone to middle to
42
00:02:08,440 –> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: late February and then started back up in early to
43
00:02:11,840 –> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: mid July. Our off season is so much shorter than
44
00:02:14,360 –> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: everyone else’s. And that’s why I think almost having the
45
00:02:17,200 –> 00:02:21,279
Speaker 2: week six by as opposed to maybe later, isn’t necessarily
46
00:02:21,480 –> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 2: the bad thing it might be illustrated to be because normally, yeah,
47
00:02:25,639 –> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: you want to have the buy like in week ten
48
00:02:27,320 –> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: or eleven or twelve, because that way you can really
49
00:02:29,800 –> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: get ready for the home stretch. But if you think
50
00:02:31,600 –> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: about this, the Chiefs, their last two off seasons have
51
00:02:35,720 –> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: been one hundred and fifty nine days exactly, which is
52
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: kind of crazy. They’ve basically had the two shortest off
53
00:02:41,760 –> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 2: seasons in NFL history. The Raiders by comparison, no reason
54
00:02:45,480 –> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: why I picked them. You know, they had an off
55
00:02:47,800 –> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 2: season of one hundred and ninety eight days this past year,
56
00:02:50,800 –> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: so that’s almost a full extra month. So for the Chiefs,
57
00:02:53,280 –> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 2: I think the bye actually came at the right time
58
00:02:55,120 –> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: because they’ve been going at it since early July. They
59
00:02:57,800 –> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 2: had a chance to rest up and really attack the
60
00:03:00,480 –> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: second third.
61
00:03:01,120 –> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Now of the season, you’re chronicle it well because I
62
00:03:03,919 –> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: was asked, like you, is this too early to have
63
00:03:06,000 –> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: the BUYE and I said no, not for a team
64
00:03:08,280 –> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: that has played forty six games in basically two and
65
00:03:10,960 –> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: one fourth years. That’s an NFL record. When you add
66
00:03:14,639 –> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: the seventeenth game, which the NFL did several years ago,
67
00:03:17,960 –> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: and that seventeenth game is against a number one team
68
00:03:20,919 –> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: the year prior in the NFC, hence this game coming
69
00:03:24,000 –> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: up against San Francisco. It is a grueling, grueling pace.
70
00:03:28,040 –> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: The other thing I would say, too, is the fact
71
00:03:30,680 –> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: that this five seven to five split again, the stages
72
00:03:33,720 –> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: of the Tour de France, if you will, are very
73
00:03:36,360 –> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: different than last year’s schedule. We talked about in Warren Sharp,
74
00:03:39,760 –> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: who had so good at really analyzing the schedule the
75
00:03:44,240 –> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: Fox NFL writer. This year, the Chiefs actually have a
76
00:03:48,400 –> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: plus five rest advantage throughout the year. Last year was
77
00:03:52,080 –> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: minus four and remember how grueling and bad December was
78
00:03:56,120 –> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: because five opponents had between nine and fourteen days to
79
00:03:59,040 –> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: get ready for the Chiefs five consecutive weeks, and that
80
00:04:01,680 –> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: was a two to three stretch for the Chiefs. This year,
81
00:04:04,600 –> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: the Chiefs actually have a plus five net rest advantage.
82
00:04:07,800 –> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: And yes, there’s seven games, I’m sorry, there’s three games
83
00:04:10,920 –> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: in a ten day period coming up in December, but
84
00:04:14,200 –> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: there’s also seven teams that have that I believe, if
85
00:04:16,720 –> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: not maybe ten teams the most in NFL history. So
86
00:04:19,600 –> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: my point is this is perfectly placed, I think in
87
00:04:23,680 –> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: looking at these stages of this five seven five for
88
00:04:26,760 –> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: a team and you just laid it out, has had
89
00:04:30,120 –> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: so much activity over a condensed period of time.
90
00:04:33,360 –> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 2: And what’s kind of interesting as well is the Chiefs
91
00:04:35,600 –> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: under Coach Read and Patrick Mahomes are traditionally really good
92
00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: out of the gate and they finish really strong. The
93
00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: numbers all back that up, so obviously five and zero
94
00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: this year, but generally we always start strong. I mean
95
00:04:46,440 –> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: we’re thirty one and nine in September under Coach Read,
96
00:04:49,800 –> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: easily the best record in the NFL in that span,
97
00:04:52,279 –> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: and Patrick Mahomes specifically is nineteen and four in September.
98
00:04:56,240 –> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: Then look at finishing strong, Mahomes is thirty nine and
99
00:04:59,279 –> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: nine in no and December games. The only month that
100
00:05:03,120 –> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: has kind of relatively given the Chiefs some trouble over
101
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: the years with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback is October. Now
102
00:05:08,760 –> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: I emphasize relatively because Mahomes is still eighteen and eight
103
00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: in October. That’s the third best record for any team
104
00:05:15,400 –> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: in the NFL in that span. But there’s always been
105
00:05:18,320 –> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: like a game or two in October over the years
106
00:05:20,360 –> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: where it’s like that was weird, like how did that happen?
107
00:05:23,440 –> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: And I think having the week six by is kind
108
00:05:25,960 –> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: of a good thing because I just think there’s a
109
00:05:28,160 –> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: matter of when you start really strong, maybe you wear
110
00:05:31,120 –> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: down a little bit. And for the Chiefs, they had
111
00:05:34,200 –> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: the buy. Now they can attack October and then hopefully
112
00:05:36,560 –> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 2: finish strong as well.
113
00:05:38,200 –> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Okay, we usually travel around the world in our own
114
00:05:42,000 –> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: space station, but we’re going to take a bike this
115
00:05:44,680 –> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: time and go bicycling around the world in our tour
116
00:05:48,480 –> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: to front Yellowjacket. Not to be cocky, but five and zero. Okay,
117
00:05:52,760 –> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: we’ll take that. Two undefeated teams left along with our
118
00:05:55,400 –> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: Viking cousins from the north. But let’s take the yellow
119
00:05:59,800 –> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: jab and go on the next leg of the Tour
120
00:06:01,920 –> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 1: de France, and let’s start by going biking around the world.
121
00:06:05,000 –> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: So I have ten today, but because of our guest,
122
00:06:07,279 –> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: I’m going to say I have nine plus one. How
123
00:06:09,680 –> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 2: about that, because well Juju Smith Schuster on in a
124
00:06:11,800 –> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: little bit, So nine plus one. I heard from Todd
125
00:06:15,279 –> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: who wanted to shout out his wife Mary, so this
126
00:06:17,839 –> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 2: is cool. Mary is a US diplomat currently serving in
127
00:06:21,320 –> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: PENAM Pen Cambodia. They’re both from Kansas City, though they
128
00:06:25,760 –> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: never miss a game, even if that means game starting
129
00:06:28,040 –> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: at midnight, three am or seven thirty in the morning.
130
00:06:30,880 –> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: So shout out to you both. Thank you for what
131
00:06:32,480 –> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: you’re doing for our country, and thanks for following the team.
132
00:06:35,720 –> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: I met Boston at Brew at the Zoo over the weekend.
133
00:06:38,880 –> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: So my wife works at the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium.
134
00:06:41,560 –> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: And how did it go, By the way, it was awesome.
135
00:06:43,240 –> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: It was a lot of fun. And it’s such a
136
00:06:45,440 –> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 2: role reversal because normally Ellie comes to all the Chiefs
137
00:06:48,760 –> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: games and gets the tailgate and do all the fun stuff.
138
00:06:50,800 –> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: And I mean, I’m not complaining, but like I have
139
00:06:52,760 –> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 2: to get here hours beforehand and can’t go out in
140
00:06:55,080 –> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: the parking lot and all that. Well, it completely flips
141
00:06:57,760 –> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: for the zoo events. She’s working the entire time and
142
00:06:59,720 –> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: I just get to go and have fun. So I
143
00:07:01,200 –> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: had a great time at Brew at the Zoo. Brought
144
00:07:02,880 –> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of Chiefs employees with me and I met
145
00:07:04,560 –> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: Boston and we talked to some Chiefs football. So shout
146
00:07:06,320 –> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: out to you, Boston. My parents were in Ireland last
147
00:07:09,840 –> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: week and they ran into Mike from Nova Scotia in Ireland.
148
00:07:14,360 –> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 2: In Ireland, Yeah, and Mike was wearing a Chief’s hoodie,
149
00:07:16,600 –> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: and of course my parents specifically my mom had to
150
00:07:18,960 –> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: go say hi. They’re like, where did you get that hoodie?
151
00:07:21,480 –> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: Are you a Chiefs fan? So shout out to you, Mike,
152
00:07:23,960 –> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: And there is a chief there’s several Chiefs pubs around
153
00:07:26,720 –> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: in Dublin. They were trying to find one because they
154
00:07:29,040 –> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: were there for the our last game against the Saints.
155
00:07:32,200 –> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: They’re there for that and they I think they ended
156
00:07:33,840 –> 00:07:35,480

Speaker 1: best ref in Kansas, he’s gone there a couple times,
160
00:07:43,760 –> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: but he’s now become friends with this guy that runs
161
00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: the Dublin Chiefs pub.
162
00:07:47,120 –> 00:07:49,000

166
00:07:57,000 –> 00:07:59,840

195
00:09:15,679 –> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: by the way, was right there in the crosshairs of
196
00:09:19,559 –> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: those like three tornadoes at once.
197
00:09:21,160 –> 00:09:21,679

Speaker 2: corresponding with me quite a bit over the last several months.
202
00:09:34,559 –> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 2: He’s awesome and I got to meet him in person
203
00:09:36,200 –> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: for the first time at the Saints game. He traveled
204
00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 2: from Tennessee to come watch the Chiefs beat the Saints.
205
00:09:40,679 –> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: Met his daughter as well. Amazing, awesome people. So shout
206
00:09:43,400 –> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: out to you Gary and govaals.
207
00:09:45,160 –> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: And one of the highlights of the year so far
208
00:09:47,360 –> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: in this first leg of the Tour de France the
209
00:09:49,240 –> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: five games, was Tennessee beating Oklahoma. Not that that’s a
210
00:09:53,160 –> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: highlight for me personally, but it was for Trey Smith,
211
00:09:56,200 –> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: and I saw Justin Reid in the hallway. He goes, hey,
212
00:09:58,880 –> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: you need to go down and see Reed because created
213
00:10:01,400 –> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: Humphrey obviously Oklahoma sooner had all the Tennessee gear on. Yeah,
214
00:10:05,320 –> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: he had to do it because of the bet. And
215
00:10:07,240 –> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: by the time I got there was on a pile
216
00:10:08,760 –> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: in front of his locker. I go, hey, he goes,
217
00:10:10,640 –> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: I’m sick of wearing that stuff. Yeah, but Yanye Morris
218
00:10:13,679 –> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: was wearing Tennessee stuff. He played for both. He played
219
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: for both. I said, this is hedging your bet. This
220
00:10:18,840 –> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 1: is what people in agriculture do. They’ve got a hedge
221
00:10:21,000 –> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: things to make sure. And so Wanya is just going, yeah,
222
00:10:23,640 –> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: I’m like gonna win either way. So I go, that’s
223
00:10:25,840 –> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: kind of cheating. But anyway, that was fun you Knoxville types.
224
00:10:29,800 –> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: And Gary wanted to say hi to you as well. Totally.
225
00:10:32,480 –> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: Shai and I do have some more fun stuff for
226
00:10:34,480 –> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: you if you’re ready for this. So sure when we
227
00:10:36,840 –> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: have the BUYE and I come into a game week,
228
00:10:40,760 –> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: generally I’m doing all my game recap stuff on Monday
229
00:10:43,400 –> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: and Tuesday, and there’s no game to recap, so I
230
00:10:46,360 –> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 2: just had some extra time on my hands. So shout
231
00:10:48,960 –> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: out to Greg Tan, who was shared an office with.
232
00:10:51,080 –> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: Greg was calculating his record as a Chiefs employee in
233
00:10:53,840 –> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: terms of wins and losses, and I was like, I
234
00:10:55,280 –> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: should do that. So I calculated my record. I only
235
00:10:58,080 –> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: kind of games I actually attended. So I didn’t start
236
00:11:01,080 –> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: traveling until twenty twenty one.
237
00:11:02,800 –> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: Okay, this is as an employee.
238
00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: As an employee, ok regular and postseason.
239
00:11:06,440 –> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: This is you in attendance at a game. Yeah, so
240
00:11:09,840 –> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: as an employee.
241
00:11:10,520 –> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: As an employee, So for several years I would cover
242
00:11:13,920 –> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: the road games from here, I wouldn’t actually travel, I
243
00:11:16,800 –> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: would just kind of report on it from Afar. I’m
244
00:11:18,679 –> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: not counting those, only counting games that I actually traveled
245
00:11:21,480 –> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: to or was that and not including the preseason either.
246
00:11:25,320 –> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: This is just regular season and postseason. So I am
247
00:11:29,080 –> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: eighty one and twenty six for.
248
00:11:31,600 –> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Your time, it was really good.
249
00:11:33,080 –> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I’m eighty one in twenty six. I’ve been here
250
00:11:35,640 –> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 2: for one hundred and seven games that I’ve actually attended.
251
00:11:38,480 –> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: Looking at the year by year breakdown in.
252
00:11:39,960 –> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: The Pats in his second one hundred games, you’re in
253
00:11:43,080 –> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: your second one hundred games.
254
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, second lap for me. But I’m eighty one.
255
00:11:47,160 –> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 2: And twenty six in my first one hundred and seven
256
00:11:49,280 –> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: now good. Far more interesting than that is that I
257
00:11:52,559 –> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: dug into your record. Are you aware of your current record?
258
00:11:55,559 –> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: I am not. I’m about to tell you.
259
00:11:58,240 –> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, match appreciate you doing all this research because
260
00:12:01,160 –> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: it took a little longer to do this. If then
261
00:12:04,400 –> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: you’re it, certainly I have additional which is why you
262
00:12:07,840 –> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: ask about the original game that I did, which was
263
00:12:10,480 –> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: three years before I became the voice of the Chiefs.
264
00:12:12,800 –> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: I texted him yesterday because there’s like no information on
265
00:12:15,600 –> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: the internet about this. I knew that you did a
266
00:12:17,960 –> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: game in nineteen ninety one, a fill in game for Harlan.
267
00:12:20,480 –> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: I couldn’t figure out which game it was.
268
00:12:22,160 –> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: It is the opening game.
269
00:12:23,040 –> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: It was very important to know if it was a
270
00:12:24,400 –> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: win or a loss. For this reason, if you include
271
00:12:26,720 –> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety one game where the Chiefs beat the
272
00:12:29,000 –> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: Falcons and Brett Farv, which is crazy, he didn’t play,
273
00:12:31,880 –> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: but still he was on the sideline.
274
00:12:33,080 –> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: I said, the most intriguing guy in that game was
275
00:12:34,840 –> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: the falcons backup quarterback.
276
00:12:36,360 –> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 2: Like, who’s he talking about? It’s Brett Farv. So you
277
00:12:38,720 –> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: include the nineteen ninety one game, where we won that game,
278
00:12:41,760 –> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: and then everything since nineteen ninety four sands that one
279
00:12:45,160 –> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: Packers game, which doesn’t matter. We lost it last year.
280
00:12:48,679 –> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: You are two hundred and ninety nine and two hundred
281
00:12:51,720 –> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: and eighteen. You were one away three hundred. Yes, you
282
00:12:55,559 –> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 2: are one away from three hundred and eighteen. Yep, you
283
00:13:00,400 –> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: are one win away. This could be my three three
284
00:13:02,760 –> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: hundred wins. So I got really fired up about it.
285
00:13:05,320 –> 00:13:08,199
Speaker 2: I’ve been super excited about it for over a day now.
286
00:13:08,200 –> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: Shout out to Greg. I told him this upstairs. If
287
00:13:10,000 –> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: it wasn’t for Greg looking up his record, I would
288
00:13:12,800 –> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: have never gone down this path. But yeah, you are
289
00:13:15,280 –> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 2: one went away from three hundred, and here’s some more
290
00:13:17,720 –> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: context for you, and it kind of plays into what
291
00:13:19,679 –> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: you were saying about how fortunate I’ve been. So your
292
00:13:22,880 –> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 2: two hundredth win, I’m pretty sure it was on was
293
00:13:25,559 –> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: on October thirtieth, twenty seventeen, So you’ve made up I get.
294
00:13:30,200 –> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 1: One hundred well ninety nine wins since the middle of
295
00:13:33,720 –> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. Yea’s kind of like our division titles, ryep.
296
00:13:37,640 –> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: We always say like the Raiders have fifteen, the Chargers
297
00:13:41,800 –> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: have fifteen, the Broncos have fifteen. We have sixteen, but
298
00:13:44,840 –> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: we’ve won eight in a row. There was a time
299
00:13:47,120 –> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: it was fifteen fifteen to fifteen eight.
300
00:13:49,280 –> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: It’s the same thing with your playoff record, right because
301
00:13:51,200 –> 00:13:52,959
Speaker 2: I think you started like one in ten. I was
302
00:13:53,000 –> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 2: one and ten and now you’re well over five hundred.
303
00:13:56,200 –> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 2: Thank you, Pats, Thank you coach.
304
00:13:58,400 –> 00:14:02,640

00:14:15,480 –> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom. Now I’m really fired up for these guys.
312
00:14:18,000 –> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: So thank you.
313
00:14:19,040 –> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well for your research. It’s always the best,
314
00:14:22,680 –> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: but part of some of those wins. And we’re so
315
00:14:25,520 –> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: fired up too to have this guy back. We had
316
00:14:27,880 –> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: a chance to chat with Chiefs wide receiver Juju Smith Schuster.
317
00:14:32,000 –> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: We were so excited in late August when we got
318
00:14:34,800 –> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: the word he’s coming back. So Chiefs Kingdom welcome back
319
00:14:38,800 –> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: officially here, Juju Smith Schuster. It’s late August. You get
320
00:14:43,040 –> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: the notification and the call, But how much of an
321
00:14:45,880 –> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: on ramping is there for this game? This now feels
322
00:14:48,600 –> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: like about the time you would have been in camp.
323
00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: So how much comfort do you have being around this
324
00:14:55,320 –> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: offense now? Oh?
325
00:14:56,680 –> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: Very comfortable man, Yeah, I think you know, when I
326
00:14:59,160 –> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: got the call, I thought was an exciting moment being
327
00:15:01,760 –> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: able to, you know, have an opportunity to come back
328
00:15:03,720 –> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: here and you know, play for this team and you
329
00:15:06,120 –> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: know these guys. And for me, yeah, it’s funny because
330
00:15:10,080 –> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: I’ve been in camp here before and I know how
331
00:15:11,800 –> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: the playbook looks, so it’s like the first day I
332
00:15:14,480 –> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 3: get here is like boom, and it’s like this they
333
00:15:18,120 –> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: playbook and I was like, yeah, you just got to
334
00:15:19,600 –> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: study some of this. But it’s been pretty cool. The
335
00:15:22,560 –> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 3: coaches all have been so helpful with being able to
336
00:15:24,880 –> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: give me stuff here and there to focus on.
337
00:15:27,440 –> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: Does it feel like you ever left? Because Nicole went
338
00:15:29,760 –> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: through kind of a similar thing where he was here,
339
00:15:31,880 –> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: he left and he came back, and it almost feels
340
00:15:34,520 –> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: like you never left, like you’ve been here the whole time.
341
00:15:36,560 –> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: What’s that whole experience been like leaving and coming back?
342
00:15:40,160 –> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: It’s it’s it’s been amazing, man, I think, you know,
343
00:15:42,360 –> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: have an opportunity to go play for you know, the
344
00:15:45,000 –> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: Patriots and honestly one of the greatest coaches of all time.
345
00:15:49,080 –> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 3: You know, it’s pretty cool to see how playing for
346
00:15:52,160 –> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 3: a deepest a minded coach versus playing for office a
347
00:15:54,720 –> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: minic coach like Andy Reid. So it’s been it’s been
348
00:15:57,880 –> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 3: really cool to see that. And my experience over there
349
00:16:01,160 –> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: was great, but a lot of relationship with great people
350
00:16:03,040 –> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But you know, coming back here, right,
351
00:16:05,440 –> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 3: it kind of felt like I never left, just because
352
00:16:07,360 –> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: I was so familiar with the offense, so familiar with
353
00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: everything around here. Because when you go to a new place,
354
00:16:13,040 –> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: you kind of got to start from like ground zero, Like, Okay,
355
00:16:15,280 –> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 3: now I get a new barber, now I gotta get
356
00:16:16,960 –> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 3: it another person to wash my car, like these are
357
00:16:19,440 –> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 3: like the little things that kind of adds up. But yeah,
358
00:16:21,680 –> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: coming back here, it just felt like I was a
359
00:16:23,760 –> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: missing puzzle.
360
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: You know.
361
00:16:26,200 –> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: We wanted seeing you in that New England uniform. That
362
00:16:28,680 –> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: was just killing me, like we want we wanted a photoshop,
363
00:16:31,720 –> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, and put you in in red. But I’ve
364
00:16:35,120 –> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: asked you this before, but I think it’s a compelling question.
365
00:16:37,760 –> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: You have perspective. Now three different organizations. Great years you
366
00:16:41,760 –> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: had in Pittsburgh to be here when it ring, then
367
00:16:44,520 –> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: go to New England. Now to come back the culture here,
368
00:16:47,960 –> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: How unique is it and how could we take it
369
00:16:50,920 –> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: for granted?
370
00:16:51,440 –> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 3: In the Chiefs kid, Yeah, man, it’s it’s there’s no
371
00:16:53,880 –> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: place like it.
372
00:16:54,520 –> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: Man.
373
00:16:54,720 –> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: This is uh, this culture is unbelievable. I mean we
374
00:16:57,880 –> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: talk about you know, everyone being by body in, everyone
375
00:17:01,160 –> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: being in one place, one mind, one goal, and that’s
376
00:17:05,000 –> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: that’s here man. And that goes from you know, from
377
00:17:08,240 –> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: the head coach all the way to the lowest man
378
00:17:11,600 –> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: in a total pool of everyone to know what we’re
379
00:17:13,320 –> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 3: trying to accomplish here. So and that’s the cool part
380
00:17:16,440 –> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: is that being here, I’m able we’re all just able
381
00:17:20,119 –> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 3: to just focus on our job and just do your job.
382
00:17:22,560 –> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: Because you know, the person on the side of you
383
00:17:24,200 –> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: don’t do their job. This person on decides to do
384
00:17:26,600 –> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 3: their job. And when everyone is just bought into just
385
00:17:29,520 –> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: doing the main job, that may go, oh my gosh,
386
00:17:33,200 –> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 3: it may see everybody’s job a lot easier.
387
00:17:35,560 –> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 2: Now it’s one thing to be back, it’s another to
388
00:17:37,480 –> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: go off for seven catches and one hundred and thirty yards.
389
00:17:39,760 –> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 2: How good did that feel on Monday night?
390
00:17:41,640 –> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: I felt good? It felt good, Like I said, I
391
00:17:44,160 –> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 3: just to be out there the boys.
392
00:17:46,480 –> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: You also have perspective of being this league for eight years.
393
00:17:49,240 –> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: You were in patch class, right, the twenty seventeen class. Yeah,
394
00:17:53,200 –> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: but our theme in this one is the Tour de France,
395
00:17:55,440 –> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: meaning that we’ve had these five games a bye, now
396
00:17:57,960 –> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: get ready for seven then along weekend? How have you
397
00:18:01,720 –> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: trained your body to get through in an NFL season?
398
00:18:05,800 –> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 3: Man, it’s you know, like I said, you know, eight
399
00:18:08,280 –> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: years into doing this, you know there’s long stop growing.
400
00:18:12,040 –> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 3: I always say, bes sponge and you know, things I’ve
401
00:18:14,760 –> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 3: learned from other guys that are you know in year ten,
402
00:18:17,320 –> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: in year eleven.
403
00:18:18,080 –> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: Year twelve.
404
00:18:18,640 –> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 3: You know how they take care of their body is
405
00:18:20,600 –> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 3: you know, doing the little things right, those little exercises
406
00:18:23,520 –> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 3: I do. You know in between seasons are during the
407
00:18:27,640 –> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: week and then also like cupping, needling, massage, whatever that
408
00:18:32,320 –> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 3: may be, whatever fix your criteria, cotub, hot tub. There’s
409
00:18:36,359 –> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 3: so much stuff you can do to enhance your stuff.
410
00:18:39,160 –> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 3: And everyone’s different. Right for me, I love needles, like
411
00:18:42,800 –> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: i I’m right after this, I’m go get some needles
412
00:18:45,119 –> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 3: in my in my body, just to help me perform
413
00:18:47,520 –> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: for the next at the next game, the next practice.
414
00:18:49,600 –> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: So and I think that’s very important. A lot of
415
00:18:51,840 –> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 3: people don’t invest into their body. I think, you know,
416
00:18:55,280 –> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: we talk about if you’re a Ferrari, right, you’re not
417
00:18:57,760 –> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 3: gonna put eighty three in your car. You’re gonna put
418
00:18:59,920 –> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 3: that ninety one ninety three into your car. So it’s
419
00:19:02,720 –> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: what you get in is what you put out.
420
00:19:04,800 –> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 2: What do you think about the Niners are spreaking them
421
00:19:06,520 –> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: down on film? What kind of challenge will they be
422
00:19:08,119 –> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 2: on on Sunday?
423
00:19:09,119 –> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Man?
424
00:19:09,440 –> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 3: Those guys are It’s a great defense, right. I think
425
00:19:12,040 –> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 3: they’re balanting some some injuries, you know, early on in
426
00:19:14,840 –> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 3: indoor season, but now you know they’re bringing guys back slowly,
427
00:19:17,760 –> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: so they have a great defense, you know. I think
428
00:19:20,440 –> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: the heart of that team is Fred Warner, right, He’s
429
00:19:22,320 –> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: a guy that’s constantly making plays, you know, making turnovers
430
00:19:26,080 –> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. So for us, it’s just we
431
00:19:28,760 –> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 3: have to go out there and just play a complete game.
432
00:19:30,440 –> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 3: I don’t think we’ve done that yet as an offense.
433
00:19:32,560 –> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 3: I don’t think we’ve drove down to the field and
434
00:19:35,560 –> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: just put touchdowns after touchdowns. Instead, we’ve kicked field goals right,
435
00:19:39,760 –> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 3: and I think that’s that’s where we’re hurting ourselves, but
436
00:19:42,320 –> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 3: saying at the same time, right, it’s a great defense
437
00:19:45,160 –> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: man everyone against.
438
00:19:46,119 –> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: I think it was almost exactly two years ago this
439
00:19:48,040 –> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 2: guy had a big game for us against the Niners.
440
00:19:50,560 –> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 2: So let’s just do that again. Yeah, be great.
441
00:19:54,200 –> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: Final question is, and you were kind of ahead of
442
00:19:57,040 –> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: your time in this when you got into the league,
443
00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: that you’re a social media your phenom, right, what does
444
00:20:02,119 –> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: it feel like to have as many social media followers
445
00:20:05,119 –> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: as a population of most states?
446
00:20:08,840 –> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: I think it’s pretty cool. And man, I think I’ve
447
00:20:10,560 –> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 3: been blessed on my platform to just you know, my personality,
448
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: to show you know, people out there just it’s not
449
00:20:16,760 –> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: just football, it’s not just sports alone. You have a
450
00:20:18,520 –> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 3: lot of stuff going outside of you that you can
451
00:20:21,119 –> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: you know, pretty much show. And I think it’s pretty
452
00:20:22,800 –> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: cool that you know, I’m able to do that here.
453
00:20:25,320 –> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: I’m one more. I lied. Faith and family so important
454
00:20:29,440 –> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: to you, yes, And I’m not sure if fans appreciate
455
00:20:32,800 –> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: that enough. Why is it so important to you? And
456
00:20:35,840 –> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: how important is it to you?
457
00:20:37,320 –> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: A man?
458
00:20:37,560 –> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: It’s very important, man, you know, without him above, none
459
00:20:40,560 –> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 3: of this is possible to you know, I’m able to do,
460
00:20:42,359 –> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: you know, being able to play this beautiful game. And
461
00:20:45,040 –> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: you know, when we talk about faith, you talk about family.
462
00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 3: It kind of goes hand in hand, right, as much
463
00:20:49,840 –> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: as you work on your faith, as much as you
464
00:20:51,359 –> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 3: work on your family, as much as you work on
465
00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: you know, the middle part, which is football, right, and
466
00:20:55,359 –> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: it all plays in hand in hand with this team.
467
00:20:57,040 –> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: So we were just talking about it earlier, right, you know,
468
00:20:59,480 –> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: when when stuff hit the fan and doesn’t go your way,
469
00:21:03,359 –> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 3: it’s how strong is your faith into believing into this team,
470
00:21:06,720 –> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 3: believing into this offense, his defense and special team to
471
00:21:09,960 –> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: get the job done in the next thirty minutes. And
472
00:21:12,480 –> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: you know, you guys seen fans that we’ve been down
473
00:21:15,280 –> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: at halftime and having to come back out and play
474
00:21:18,440 –> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 3: way better than we did the first half. So I
475
00:21:20,680 –> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: think that faith just carries over. It’s very being a
476
00:21:22,600 –> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 3: point for this team.
477
00:21:24,480 –> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: Now you all see and hear why it’s so good
478
00:21:27,280 –> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: to have him back. Viking hard in the Tour de France,
479
00:21:30,960 –> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: which is the NFL Juju Smith Schuster really interesting to
480
00:21:35,359 –> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 1: hear Juju’s perspective on a lot of things, but including
481
00:21:39,440 –> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: this chief schedule of twenty twenty four Here’s some very
482
00:21:42,400 –> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: interesting things though coming up about this chief schedule, and
483
00:21:45,040 –> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: then we’re going to dive into the next leg of
484
00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: the Tour de France, which is a big hill called
485
00:21:49,400 –> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers, and it’s interesting. And
486
00:21:52,119 –> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: when you study the Tour de France, there’s different the
487
00:21:54,840 –> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: different levels present different topography. Right, you’re gonna this is, oh,
488
00:21:59,240 –> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: this is the hilly and this is a flat stage
489
00:22:01,560 –> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: or downhill stage. Kind of feels uphill going against a
490
00:22:04,320 –> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: really good San Francisco team. But I mentioned the five
491
00:22:07,720 –> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: seven to five, I mentioned the net rest advantage I
492
00:22:10,640 –> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: mentioned also, and intriguing coming up after that last I
493
00:22:14,800 –> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: mean the last five is the Chiefs will have those
494
00:22:16,960 –> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: three games in ten days. That seems wicked, although this
495
00:22:20,800 –> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: year ten teams, one third of the league will have
496
00:22:24,119 –> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: three games in ten days.
497
00:22:25,640 –> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: Wow.
498
00:22:26,080 –> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: Thank you to Warren Sharp for that research. But here’s
499
00:22:28,840 –> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: what I wanted to add on. If the Chiefs could
500
00:22:30,880 –> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: get the buye, if they can get the AFC buy
501
00:22:33,440 –> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: and I know I’m way ahead of myself, but we’re
502
00:22:35,160 –> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: looking ahead here in the Tour de France. If the
503
00:22:38,640 –> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs can get the BUYE, they will play one game
504
00:22:42,640 –> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 1: in twenty four days.
505
00:22:44,000 –> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: Wow.
506
00:22:45,160 –> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: So you play the Christmas game against Pittsburgh and then
507
00:22:48,640 –> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: after that you have a week and a half before
508
00:22:51,119 –> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: you play the Week eighteen game at Denver, which that’s
509
00:22:53,960 –> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: a Saturday or Sunday, doesn’t matter. If you get the
510
00:22:56,400 –> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: buye the following week, you will not play until the
511
00:22:59,080 –> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: divisional game. So you will go from Christmas to the
512
00:23:02,080 –> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: divisional game, which is the second full week of January,
513
00:23:05,520 –> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: and that’s a span of twenty four days. You would
514
00:23:07,400 –> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: play one game.
515
00:23:08,920 –> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: My father in law, who lives in Denver, texted me
516
00:23:12,359 –> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: asking what day the Broncos game was because he’s trying
517
00:23:14,720 –> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: to get tickets to the Avs game because the Avs
518
00:23:16,840 –> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 2: play on Saturday. And I’m like, I don’t know, but
519
00:23:19,720 –> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: maybe get the tickets just in case. I’d love to
520
00:23:22,200 –> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 2: go to the game if we’re in town. But oh,
521
00:23:25,000 –> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: he’s going to take you to the Avs game. Yeah,
522
00:23:26,760 –> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 2: he’s going to take me to the game.
523
00:23:27,720 –> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: That’s a whole different deal then, sure.
524
00:23:29,680 –> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 2: So I hope we play on Sunday now, But regardless,
525
00:23:32,640 –> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: I’m with you. That bye in the playoffs is enormous
526
00:23:35,880 –> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: and that’s why beating the Ravens in the first week
527
00:23:38,800 –> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 2: of the season was a big deal because I mean,
528
00:23:41,240 –> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: I think we all knew this going into the year,
529
00:23:42,840 –> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: but the Ravens are going to be there toward the end.
530
00:23:44,680 –> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 2: I think they’re playing really good football right now. And
531
00:23:47,280 –> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 2: not only did we give them a loss, we also
532
00:23:49,600 –> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: have the tiebreaker over them. So I know it’s week seven.
533
00:23:52,920 –> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: Really there’s no reason to be talking about tiebreakers right now.
534
00:23:55,880 –> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: But still, that’s a really big win in week one
535
00:23:58,000 –> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: when you’re talking about trying to get the buye.
536
00:24:00,080 –> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: Games in that last that three games and ten days
537
00:24:02,240 –> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: mentioned Pittsburgh, but Houston will be here in that span,
538
00:24:05,359 –> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: and there’s just a lot in front of us here.
539
00:24:07,280 –> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: But the bike is back pedaling again and we pedal
540
00:24:10,480 –> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: this time going to the West to take on the
541
00:24:12,920 –> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine Ers. We’ll close out just kind
542
00:24:15,200 –> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: of looking out over this game, but I’m really kind
543
00:24:17,920 –> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: of trying to figure out the forty nine ers a
544
00:24:20,119 –> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 1: super talented team. We know that we just saw them
545
00:24:22,960 –> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: in February in Las Vegas in Super Bowl fifty eight.
546
00:24:28,200 –> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: It’s I mean, there’s some things we’re on the report card.
547
00:24:31,200 –> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is an honor roll team. The
548
00:24:33,680 –> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: most points scored by any team in the NFL so
549
00:24:36,680 –> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: far this season offensive points scored. You look at big plays,
550
00:24:40,760 –> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: no team has more twenty plus plays than these guys.
551
00:24:43,640 –> 00:24:47,479
Speaker 1: Eight twenty plus runs with these guys mostly Jordan Mason
552
00:24:47,520 –> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: with cmc out. And yet on the other side you
553
00:24:49,920 –> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: see all these injuries. They have nine guys on IR,
554
00:24:52,640 –> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: seven prominent guys on IR, including some of their top players.
555
00:24:56,760 –> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: And Christian McCaffrey is on that list and Hufonga’s on
556
00:25:01,280 –> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 1: that list. So there’s just a bunch of guys they’re missing.
557
00:25:04,080 –> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: But I’m trying to get a feel for San Francisco.
558
00:25:06,359 –> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: I do know this. Their Thursday Night, a week ago
559
00:25:08,920 –> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: win over Seattle was enormous for them. If they lose
560
00:25:12,240 –> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: that game, they go two and four. Because here’s another
561
00:25:15,040 –> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: interesting note. Brock Purty had never lost prior to this
562
00:25:18,240 –> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 1: year to a NFC West Division rival as a starting quarterback,
563
00:25:24,160 –> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: and they were eleven and one in two years against
564
00:25:26,240 –> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: the NFC West. They started zero and two because they
565
00:25:30,080 –> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: blew a fourteen point lead to the Rams, and they
566
00:25:33,040 –> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: blew a home thirteen point lead against Arizona. The only
567
00:25:37,440 –> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: two losses that brock Purty has had against the division
568
00:25:40,840 –> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback of the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
569
00:25:44,320 –> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: So you can see my point. I’m seeing this and
570
00:25:47,240 –> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: that and this and that, this and that. I’m trying
571
00:25:49,000 –> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: to think, well, who are these guys really going into
572
00:25:51,680 –> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: this game. I’m sure they’re looking at Kansas City probably
573
00:25:54,600 –> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: asking the same thing. These teams are very different than
574
00:25:57,480 –> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: even February and Super Bowl fifty eight, and I’m really
575
00:26:00,440 –> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: trying to get a handle on who the forty nine
576
00:26:02,240 –> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 1: ers are.
577
00:26:02,960 –> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, what’s interesting is in a lot of ways the
578
00:26:05,000 –> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: forty nine ers are going to be the forty nine
579
00:26:06,960 –> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 2: ers there. I know they’re off to kind of a
580
00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 2: slow start, but it’s still a team. You have confidence then.
581
00:26:11,560 –> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: But there are some things that are just kind of surprising.
582
00:26:13,760 –> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: And you mentioned those those blown leads to some divisional
583
00:26:17,160 –> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 2: opponents and the Rams and the Cardinals. This kind of
584
00:26:20,160 –> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: surprised me. So what’s not surprising is they are plus
585
00:26:23,680 –> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: fifty three in terms of point differential in the first
586
00:26:26,560 –> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 2: half of games this year, second best in the league.
587
00:26:28,840 –> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: That seems very forty nine er like. But what was
588
00:26:31,400 –> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 2: strange They’ve been outscored by twenty one points in the
589
00:26:34,720 –> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: second half of games this year. Only Jacksonville Tennessee, Las Vegas,
590
00:26:39,359 –> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 2: New England, and Carolina, who all have one thing in common,
591
00:26:42,560 –> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: they’re not very good. Are been worse than the Niners
592
00:26:46,119 –> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 2: in the second half of games in terms of point differential.
593
00:26:49,080 –> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 2: The Chiefs, meanwhile, are plus thirty one in the second
594
00:26:51,720 –> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 2: half of games this year, so they’re putting teams away.
595
00:26:54,200 –> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 2: It’s fourth best in the NFL. One major issue with
596
00:26:57,920 –> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers when you look at the numbers
597
00:27:00,119 –> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: is red zone and I think that’s kind of where
598
00:27:02,040 –> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: they’re feeling the loss of Christian McCaffrey because in a
599
00:27:04,600 –> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: lot of ways they’ve made up for not having cmc.
600
00:27:07,080 –> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: You mentioned how good they’ve been offensively. They’re averaging six
601
00:27:10,080 –> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: point five to three yards per play. Only Baltimore has
602
00:27:12,840 –> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 2: been better on a per play basis. They’re balanced there,
603
00:27:15,720 –> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 2: the number two passing offense in the NFL, number three
604
00:27:18,440 –> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: rushing offense, and they have the most red zone drives
605
00:27:21,200 –> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 2: of any team with twenty seven, so they really have
606
00:27:23,560 –> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 2: no problem marching right down the field when they get
607
00:27:26,480 –> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 2: to the red zone. They have had some issues though.
608
00:27:28,720 –> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: They’re only scoring touchdowns forty four percent of the time.
609
00:27:31,320 –> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: That’s twenty fifth in the NFL. That is not San
610
00:27:34,320 –> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine or football, because look at last year,
611
00:27:37,240 –> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: they were easily the best team in the red zone
612
00:27:39,640 –> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: in the NFL at a seventy percent clip and Christian
613
00:27:42,880 –> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: McCaffrey had eighteen of those touchdowns in the red zone.
614
00:27:46,320 –> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: So not having McCaffrey, I think has hurt their productivity
615
00:27:48,680 –> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: in the red zone and goal to go. This year
616
00:27:51,040 –> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 2: they have fourteen gold to go drives, only scored seven touchdowns.
617
00:27:54,720 –> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 2: And it’s not like they’re turning the ball over and
618
00:27:56,440 –> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: it’s like fluky stuff. It’s a lot of you just
619
00:27:58,600 –> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: get the third and goal, you don’t score, kick a
620
00:28:00,359 –> 00:28:03,239
Speaker 2: field goal. So that’s really key for the Chiefs in
621
00:28:03,280 –> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 2: this game. Keep that trend going for San Francisco in
622
00:28:06,400 –> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 2: the red zone. And one thing that has to give
623
00:28:09,080 –> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: is the Niners have racked up all these big plays,
624
00:28:11,240 –> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: Like you were talking about a lot of big plays
625
00:28:13,760 –> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 2: this year. Well, the Chiefs have been very good defensively
626
00:28:16,200 –> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 2: about not allowing big plays. The Chiefs have allowed the
627
00:28:19,080 –> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: second fewest plays of ten or more yards and twenty
628
00:28:21,720 –> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: or more yards in the NFL. Meanwhile, San Francisco is
629
00:28:24,560 –> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: at the very top offensively in both of those categories.
630
00:28:27,080 –> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: Something has to give here in this game. And I
631
00:28:28,880 –> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: have a feeling whoever is good in the red zone
632
00:28:31,119 –> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 2: and whoever either denies the big plays or has the
633
00:28:33,920 –> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 2: big plays will win this game.
634
00:28:35,480 –> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 1: And we know they’re explosive. I mean, Ayuk’s had one
635
00:28:38,040 –> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: hundred and forty yard gain. Juwan Jennings, who was great
636
00:28:41,280 –> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl against US had one hundred and
637
00:28:42,880 –> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: seventy five yards in a game that’s tied for the
638
00:28:44,680 –> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: most in the NFL this year. And then we know
639
00:28:46,880 –> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: what Deebo Sami can do and he’s had a hundred
640
00:28:48,880 –> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: yard game and yet yards after catch to me is amazing.
641
00:28:54,120 –> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: It’s a stat that’s built for the Shanahan offense, not
642
00:28:57,160 –> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: only Kyle Shanahan but Mike Shanahan back in the day.
643
00:29:00,360 –> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: And they need to stay on schedule. I don’t say
644
00:29:02,440 –> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: that as a criticism. I just say this is that’s
645
00:29:04,480 –> 00:29:07,719
Speaker 1: what they do. They need to follow schedule. But yards
646
00:29:07,760 –> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: after catch, they’re near the bottom of the league. They’re
647
00:29:10,040 –> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighth and only thirty one percent of their yards
648
00:29:13,080 –> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: or yards after catch. This is Deebo Samuel’s team. This
649
00:29:15,840 –> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: is a Yuch’s team, right and CMC is part of that.
650
00:29:19,160 –> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs are number one in the league. It’s
651
00:29:20,720 –> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: sixty five percent of the offensive yards are yak yards.
652
00:29:24,480 –> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: Super weird. So Rock Party right now is second in
653
00:29:27,160 –> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: the NFL in passing yards and seventy percent of it
654
00:29:31,040 –> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: is just with his arm. It’s really really strange. That
655
00:29:33,560 –> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 2: is unique in the NFL to have that kind of disparity.
656
00:29:36,840 –> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: Normally it’s more half and half, but Party has been
657
00:29:40,880 –> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 2: good with his arm. It does not a lot after
658
00:29:42,560 –> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: the catch and some things with him. His average depth
659
00:29:46,200 –> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 2: of target is way up. It’s like in the ten range,
660
00:29:50,240 –> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 2: and he’s holding onto the football longer than anyone else.
661
00:29:52,920 –> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 2: His average time to throw is three point thirty five seconds,
662
00:29:55,840 –> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: so could open up some opportunities, hopefully for the pass rush.
663
00:29:58,960 –> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: He’s really lived in that intermediate area of the field,
664
00:30:01,840 –> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: so I think like ten to nineteen yards from the
665
00:30:04,080 –> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. He is the most attempts, completions and
666
00:30:07,200 –> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 2: passing yards on throws in that range of any quarterback
667
00:30:10,200 –> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 2: in the NFL right now, and by a wide margin,
668
00:30:12,640 –> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 2: and a lot of that the vast majority of it
669
00:30:14,560 –> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 2: is over the middle, so it’s kind of football one
670
00:30:17,240 –> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 2: on one, but the middle of the field about fifteen
671
00:30:20,760 –> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 2: yards in the line of scrimmage right between the numbers.
672
00:30:23,080 –> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: That’s where Rock Party wants to live and he’s been
673
00:30:25,680 –> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 2: doing a good job of it this year. But the
674
00:30:27,280 –> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs have to make sure they defend that area early
675
00:30:29,520 –> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 2: and often on Sunday.
676
00:30:30,520 –> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: And I mentioned those guys, and then Kettle lives in
677
00:30:33,400 –> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: that area too, So all of those guys that I
678
00:30:35,520 –> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: mentioned plus Kettle becomes a potential weapon in that sweet spot,
679
00:30:40,160 –> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: if you will.
680
00:30:40,680 –> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: Of brock Purty.
681
00:30:41,600 –> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: Defensively, it’s been perplexing. They’re missing some dudes right on
682
00:30:46,560 –> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: defense and some key guys up front and in the
683
00:30:52,120 –> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: back end. But when they blitz, they are next to
684
00:30:56,680 –> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: last in the league quarterbacks. When the forty nine ers
685
00:30:59,280 –> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: blitz or one p thirty nine, the quarterback rating is
686
00:31:02,600 –> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: one thirty nine point seven. That’s astonishing when you think
687
00:31:06,160 –> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: of what they’ve had defensively in years past, and they’re
688
00:31:09,360 –> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: twenty sixth then total points allowed. So some of this
689
00:31:13,160 –> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: is they’ve been thrown off schedule when those teams have
690
00:31:15,760 –> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: rallied back on them. Some of it is defensively that
691
00:31:20,400 –> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: are trying to kind of figure things out with not
692
00:31:22,080 –> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: only the injuries but new personnel. They lost people in
693
00:31:24,880 –> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: the off season after Super Bowl fifty eight. They fired
694
00:31:28,720 –> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: Steve Wilkes as a defensive coordinator literally hours after Super
695
00:31:32,560 –> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty eight. So this they’re trying to figure a
696
00:31:35,480 –> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: lot of things out defensively, but you’re seeing that that’s
697
00:31:38,160 –> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: where maybe there’s a lot of the mystery. And then
698
00:31:41,840 –> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: special teams are all over the place. Okay, they gave
699
00:31:45,000 –> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: up a ninety seven yard kickoff return to Seattle, but
700
00:31:47,320 –> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: they blocked a field goal against Arizona and scored a touchdown. Oh,
701
00:31:50,640 –> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: Minnesota blocked a punt on these guys. Oh, the punter
702
00:31:53,360 –> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: was now scared to kick a field goal because Moody’s
703
00:31:55,400 –> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: been hurt. Maybe he’s going to be back this week,
704
00:31:57,360 –> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: and you’re going, it’s kind of the way this whole
705
00:31:59,280 –> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: team has been. So this is a very interesting game
706
00:32:02,160 –> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs to start the next leg of the
707
00:32:04,400 –> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: Tour de Fronts.
708
00:32:05,160 –> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 2: You see who their kicker is. It’s Matthew Wright right here,
709
00:32:08,240 –> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: former chief. Yeah, I remember I was watching the.
710
00:32:10,520 –> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: Game with my dad when I got that former Chief
711
00:32:12,720 –> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: Matthew’re right, he wore nineteen I think when he was here, right,
712
00:32:15,480 –> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: I can’t remember.
713
00:32:16,240 –> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: That’s a good question. Kind of the baby fit was
714
00:32:18,120 –> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: like fifteen years old.
715
00:32:19,960 –> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: I shouldn’t. Pat Mahomes saw him trying out and he goes, hey,
716
00:32:24,440 –> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: is that Matt Naggy’s kid trying not toctate.
717
00:32:26,840 –> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: He was good, by the.
718
00:32:27,920 –> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: Way, a great high school quarterback for Blue Velly West,
719
00:32:30,400 –> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: but still.
720
00:32:31,080 –> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: He was good. He was good for us now, helped
721
00:32:32,760 –> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: stabilize when we didn’t have Harrison.
722
00:32:34,000 –> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: You remember seeing him on the plane, Like, who’s the
723
00:32:35,400 –> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: twelve year old kid on the planets?
724
00:32:36,800 –> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: Matthew Right, didn’t he make like a sixty yard field goal?
725
00:32:39,640 –> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: And he did and then but broke it a field week. Yeah,
726
00:32:42,160 –> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 2: but like, no, he can’t have the record.
727
00:32:43,800 –> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: It’s like Matthew Right can’t.
728
00:32:45,080 –> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: Have the records. Yeah, Chief’s legend.
729
00:32:47,200 –> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: Just seen munching on his Chick fil A scene, which
730
00:32:49,360 –> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: like is he twelve years old or thirteen?
731
00:32:51,480 –> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he came here for us. I’m with you on
732
00:32:53,520 –> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: the defense too, though, I got to know where Nick
733
00:32:55,320 –> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: Bosa is. Nick Moosa once again having a great year,
734
00:32:58,240 –> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: thirty five pressures, second most in the just kind of
735
00:33:01,480 –> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 2: strange though they’ve struggled in some areas. Normally they’re very
736
00:33:04,040 –> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: good in like third down or twenty third in the NFL,
737
00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: Like what red zone they’re nineteenth in the NFL, allowing
738
00:33:11,480 –> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: touchdowns fifty six percent of the time. And earlier we
739
00:33:14,720 –> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: talked about some of those big leads that got away
740
00:33:16,760 –> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: from them. They’re right in the middle of that. So
741
00:33:18,880 –> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: they have good players. We know these guys well, seen
742
00:33:21,000 –> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 2: them a lot over the years, but not quite what
743
00:33:23,760 –> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: you’d expect statistically from the forty nine ers so far
744
00:33:26,680 –> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: this season defensively.
745
00:33:28,680 –> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: So apologies to you as we close, because we should
746
00:33:31,960 –> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: be wearing the yellow jacket or the yellow top and
747
00:33:35,960 –> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: we should have biking helmets on.
748
00:33:37,560 –> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 2: So miss supportunity.
749
00:33:39,160 –> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, our buggets budgets struggling with props. But anyway, for
750
00:33:43,720 –> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: Matt and me, the rest of the Chiefs Kingdom and
751
00:33:45,440 –> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: all this Chiefs football team, obviously.
752
00:33:47,520 –> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: We’re back on the path.
753
00:33:50,720 –> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: The second leg of the NFL’s version of the Tour
754
00:33:53,440 –> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: de France
