00:00:00,360 –> 00:00:01,359
Speaker 1: In the Chiefs Kingdom.
2
00:00:01,680 –> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: Nine and oh means hey, tying a franchise record of
3
00:00:04,600 –> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: twenty three and twenty thirteen. Outside of the Chiefs Kingdom,
4
00:00:08,720 –> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: it has been bewilderment. How could that team go nine
5
00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: and oh? Is this the worst nine and oh team
6
00:00:13,520 –> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: in NFL history. We’ll just pay attention over the next
7
00:00:17,040 –> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: minutes on defending the Kingdom. We’ll jump in to why
8
00:00:20,280 –> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: we think the Kansas City Chiefs are a legit nine
9
00:00:24,320 –> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: and oh ready to go ten and oh in Buffalo
10
00:00:28,240 –> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: and a lot of you will be there in Buffalo
11
00:00:29,840 –> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 2: because of Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster is your connection over these next
12
00:00:33,920 –> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: eight regular season games and into the playoffs.
13
00:00:37,320 –> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: As we see a lot of you on the road,
14
00:00:40,920 –> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: us down. Let’s just tickets. Blood.
15
00:00:43,080 –> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: It’s bucked. That’s blood the chief buck. They’re gonna stay undefeated.
16
00:00:49,840 –> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: However, you wan.
17
00:00:50,280 –> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: I’m Mitcheld, his voice of the Chiefs along with Senior
18
00:00:52,360 –> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: team reporter award winning Matt McMullen. I’m fired up this week.
19
00:00:56,960 –> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: I’m fired up this week. I’m driving home from the
20
00:00:59,760 –> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: game after this one percent chance to win. And by
21
00:01:03,720 –> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: the way, Leo Chanel will be with us on the show.
22
00:01:06,760 –> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: You do not want to miss it. It’s coming up.
23
00:01:08,680 –> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: He blocks the field goal.
24
00:01:09,840 –> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: But I’m hearing Pundit’s talk and two guys on a
25
00:01:13,720 –> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: national show and one is asking, let’s talk about the
26
00:01:16,080 –> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs.
27
00:01:16,959 –> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: And the other guy goes, do we have to?
28
00:01:19,240 –> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: And they’re saying, this is the worst nine to zero
29
00:01:21,120 –> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 2: team ever in NFL history. I almost drove off the
30
00:01:24,760 –> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 2: road and I thought, nope, I’m already in buffalo mode.
31
00:01:28,600 –> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: We’re going to jump into but you aren’t you It’s
32
00:01:31,720 –> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: driving me crazy if people go they can’t appreciate what
33
00:01:34,240 –> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: this Chiefs team.
34
00:01:35,080 –> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: Is, so we shouldn’t let it bother us. But I
35
00:01:37,640 –> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 4: do give this some thought. First of all, the Chiefs
36
00:01:40,480 –> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 4: have won three Super Bowls in five years and are
37
00:01:42,720 –> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: coming off back to back Super Bowls and they’re undefeated,
38
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: So I’m not really sure you can take anything away
39
00:01:47,960 –> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 4: from this team. What it is is Nationally, people cannot
40
00:01:53,080 –> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 4: explain how a team can sustain success like this because
41
00:01:56,760 –> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 4: it doesn’t happen really in any sport. Golden State War
42
00:02:00,280 –> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: maybe are the most recent one in the Big four sports,
43
00:02:02,320 –> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: but it just does not happen where a team wins
44
00:02:05,440 –> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 4: every year no matter the circumstances, and it frustrates people,
45
00:02:08,919 –> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 4: and a lot of these people their favorite teams aren’t
46
00:02:11,280 –> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 4: winning and they can’t figure out why does that team
47
00:02:13,440 –> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 4: keep winning when mine does? And so that’s what I
48
00:02:15,720 –> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: chalk it up to, because if you use facts and
49
00:02:18,680 –> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 4: logic and reason, the Chiefs are doing what they’ve done
50
00:02:21,800 –> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: every single year since coachried got here. It still feels
51
00:02:24,919 –> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: like the season just started. We just locked up already,
52
00:02:27,840 –> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 4: our twelfth consecutive winning season. Twelve consecutive winning seasons. Think
53
00:02:32,560 –> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: about that. The Bills ironically are the next closest team
54
00:02:35,040 –> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: in terms of consecutive winning seasons with an active streak.
55
00:02:38,160 –> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 4: I think they have like five or six. So yeah,
56
00:02:41,440 –> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: I mean, if people around the country want to take
57
00:02:43,800 –> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: away from this team, be my guest. I guess, but
58
00:02:46,680 –> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 4: the Yous have beaten five teams this year that are
59
00:02:49,320 –> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: either five hundred or above right now. A team that’s
60
00:02:52,160 –> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 4: not included and that is Cincinnati, who will we agree
61
00:02:54,639 –> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 4: is better than the record says. So yeah, if you
62
00:02:57,720 –> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: want to take it away from the Chiefs, that’s fine.
63
00:02:59,320 –> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 4: I guess we will just keep winning.
64
00:03:01,800 –> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: Buffalo, We’re going to get into them. Mad respect for him,
65
00:03:04,560 –> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: but they’ve only played three teams of the winning record.
66
00:03:06,480 –> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: They’re one and two, so it’s been very different of
67
00:03:09,120 –> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: what the teams have faced up to this point.
68
00:03:10,800 –> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: That’s okay, we’re gonna get there.
69
00:03:12,320 –> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: We’re into facts and we’re gonna get to that in
70
00:03:14,639 –> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: a second and some opinion based on fact.
71
00:03:16,840 –> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, but let’s go in for there you go.
72
00:03:20,040 –> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, Leo Chanel will be with us on
73
00:03:22,280 –> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: this episode. Uh, and we’re entitling it. How does his
74
00:03:25,960 –> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: team nine and oh and ten and oh in Buffalo? Okay,
75
00:03:29,720 –> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: let’s go around the world though, as we get ready
76
00:03:32,560 –> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: to tell the world what you and I think?
77
00:03:34,440 –> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: Why we think the chiefs for nine and oh got
78
00:03:36,480 –> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: a bunch today. So I heard from Tyler and Lebanon, Missouri.
79
00:03:40,080 –> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Yellow Jackets.
80
00:03:41,360 –> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 4: By the way he wrote that down was one Jackets baby, Yeah,
81
00:03:44,280 –> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 4: home of the Yellow Jackets, not Lebanon, Kansas.
82
00:03:46,800 –> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: Some of the Broncos. There’s a yeah, I think there’s
83
00:03:49,920 –> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of them anyway, Yeah, Sedars of Lebanon.
84
00:03:52,400 –> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: And this is a little bit somber, but it’s also
85
00:03:54,680 –> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: a good story. So he’s been a fan of his life,
86
00:03:57,200 –> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 4: shared that one of his best friends is diagnosed with
87
00:03:59,120 –> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: cancer and two has a night team and his dream
88
00:04:01,640 –> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 4: was to see the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, and
89
00:04:03,440 –> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: he did that right before he passed. So it’s more
90
00:04:06,240 –> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: than football, you know, it’s more than a football team.
91
00:04:08,240 –> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: We get that.
92
00:04:09,480 –> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 4: So shout out to you, Tyler. Jason is in Topeka,

105
00:04:36,800 –> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 5: when we talked about the Marines on Sunday, it was awesome.
106
00:04:39,880 –> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: My whole game day set up on the radio was
107
00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: about the Marines. But those cool Salute to Service hats
108
00:04:46,640 –> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: and hoodies we wore, Yeah, reminded me of the tenth
109
00:04:49,040 –> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: Mountain Division. It reminded me of when Army played Navy
110
00:04:52,080 –> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 2: and they were in the tenth Mountain Division. Unis basically
111
00:04:55,400 –> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 2: in the snow. It was too cool. If you look
112
00:04:57,560 –> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: at the history of the Tenth Mountain Division, what they
113
00:04:59,360 –> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: did in World War II in Italy, amazing, incredibly brave group.
114
00:05:04,240 –> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: They’ve done an awesome history. So yeah, Tenth Mountain.

00:05:27,720 –> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 4: but he’s on the Baja California in Mexico. He’s seventy two.

Speaker 2: when the Chargers left them in the dust.
130
00:05:47,160 –> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: They needed a team. They’ll go.
131
00:05:48,800 –> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: They don’t like the Broncos of the Raiders, but they
132
00:05:50,760 –> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: didn’t mind the chiefs. We picked up a bunch in
133
00:05:53,200 –> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: San Diego and you were all welcome.
134
00:05:55,080 –> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you.
135
00:05:56,360 –> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 4: Charles was part of the Army Security Agency and wanted

Speaker 4: They drove in from Arkansas for the game at Great
158
00:06:49,760 –> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 4: Beating You both. I met Matt from Fremont, Nebraska in
159
00:06:53,240 –> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: the locker room club after the game, and him and
160
00:06:55,839 –> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: his family had flown in from the Dominican Republic like
161
00:06:58,480 –> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: on vacation the night before and made sure they made
162
00:07:01,880 –> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: it to the game. He saw quite a game, didn’t
163
00:07:04,160 –> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 4: you so? Great Beating You, Matt. Then lastly, shout out
164
00:07:07,320 –> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: to Susie Mark and the entire group of German fans
165
00:07:09,960 –> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: that came to Kansas City over the last two weeks.
166
00:07:12,800 –> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: Mark is based here at Fort Levenworth, but the rest
167
00:07:16,200 –> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: of them came from Germany and I think they just
168
00:07:19,200 –> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 4: had the best time. They were here for two weeks.
169
00:07:21,720 –> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: Susie went to the Miszoo game on Saturday night. A
170
00:07:24,520 –> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 4: few of them stayed here and went to the KU
171
00:07:26,360 –> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 4: game that was here in Kansas City. So they had
172
00:07:28,720 –> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 4: just an amazing two weeks. Its great seeing all of you,
173
00:07:31,560 –> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 4: and how about that they came for two walkoffs at home,
174
00:07:34,920 –> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: two walk off wins.
175
00:07:35,840 –> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 3: So shout out to all of you. You’re the best,
176
00:07:37,360 –> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: great Cenia.
177
00:07:38,080 –> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 2: And I wish I would have thought of it as
178
00:07:39,680 –> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 2: soon as it happened, but I didn’t. But I’m calling
179
00:07:42,840 –> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: the game not a walk off, but a block off.
180
00:07:45,680 –> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 3: The block off.
181
00:07:46,400 –> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: I wish I’d have thought about it right away, but anyway,
182
00:07:48,440 –> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of hit me later.
183
00:07:49,200 –> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: But you’re not expecting necessarily a one percent chance happening
184
00:07:53,800 –> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: the block off.
185
00:07:54,400 –> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: I was ready for it. I’m ready for a block off.
186
00:07:56,880 –> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: That German group and they came to the Kingdom show. Yeah,
187
00:07:59,320 –> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: So on Tuesday night after the Saints game, short week
188
00:08:01,800 –> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: getting ready for the Broncos, they came so Andy from
189
00:08:05,000 –> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 2: Mendon Ganeine from Frankfort, right, Robert from Frankfort, from Cole.
190
00:08:11,680 –> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 2: I think I’m saying that, right, mag Magdalena, Johann Lars,
191
00:08:16,360 –> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: you mentioned Susy and from Dusseldorf, Patrick, and then there’s
192
00:08:20,920 –> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: Casey Alice from Cologne.
193
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, And I got a Stutgart Stutgart Serge shirt.
194
00:08:26,840 –> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: As did I.
195
00:08:27,600 –> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.
196
00:08:27,920 –> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: They are amazing, wonderful people. They represent the Kingdom so
197
00:08:31,400 –> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 4: well over there, so great seeing y’all come back whenever
198
00:08:34,000 –> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 4: you want.
199
00:08:34,640 –> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: So this game too is interesting because there is a
200
00:08:37,040 –> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: growing sub cell of the Kingdom in the Twin Cities. Okay,
201
00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: but they are claiming dual citizenship. We talked about this
202
00:08:44,679 –> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: last week, yes, yea right, yeah, And so Daniel Abraham
203
00:08:47,640 –> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: came to his first every game he had to come
204
00:08:49,640 –> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 2: to Arrowhead Stadium, GHA Field at Aerohead Stadium, he came.
205
00:08:53,320 –> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: They are called the school Chiefs.
206
00:08:55,000 –> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: Okay.
207
00:08:55,240 –> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: They are now named school chiefs with dual citizenship. So
208
00:08:59,160 –> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 2: when the day come like last year when we play
209
00:09:01,280 –> 00:09:03,359
Speaker 2: the Vikings, they must decide.
210
00:09:03,880 –> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: But other than that they’re both okay.
211
00:09:07,400 –> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: So we appreciate all our school chiefs and Daniel now
212
00:09:11,320 –> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: leading the way on defending the Kingdom around the world
213
00:09:14,720 –> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: for that.
214
00:09:15,080 –> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: And we’ll bring in Paul Allen. We may have to
215
00:09:16,920 –> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: have Paul Allen sometimes.
216
00:09:17,920 –> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: I would love that as I’d love to meet out.
217
00:09:20,000 –> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: He’s so intriguing.
218
00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, he’s just a really awesome to play by play
219
00:09:23,040 –> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 2: voice of the Minnesota Vikings. To bring in this whole
220
00:09:25,200 –> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: school chief dynamic and see what he says.
221
00:09:28,160 –> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: So we’ll have him on DTK.
222
00:09:29,679 –> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 4: You know that crazy whin the Vikings had over the
223
00:09:31,559 –> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: Bills a couple of years ago, ironically talking about Buffalo
224
00:09:34,200 –> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 4: where Justin Jefferson had like the catch and quadruple coverage
225
00:09:37,240 –> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 4: on fourth and forever.
226
00:09:39,320 –> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: Looked liked hop against the Bucks.
227
00:09:42,280 –> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: He did.
228
00:09:42,640 –> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, their booth is going berserk and they had like
229
00:09:46,240 –> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 4: the GoPro and they’re booth like they do for you,
230
00:09:48,440 –> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: and it’s just so funny. And their team reporter, I
231
00:09:51,600 –> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 4: think spots on the road as well. So for those
232
00:09:54,120 –> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 4: that don’t know on the road, all often spot for Mitch,
233
00:09:56,440 –> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 4: which means I basically help him with who is making
234
00:09:59,320 –> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 4: plays And I don’t speak, so I have to be silent,
235
00:10:01,840 –> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: but I’m losing my mind. Well, their guy was losing
236
00:10:03,760 –> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: his mind too, and like rocking back and forth, and
237
00:10:05,920 –> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: it’s just so great. So I just saw it kind
238
00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 4: of like us in them and vice versa. So shout
239
00:10:11,000 –> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: out to them.
240
00:10:11,360 –> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: They’re great.
241
00:10:12,600 –> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: Well, we’re going to jump into why Matt and I
242
00:10:14,320 –> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: think the Chiefs are nine and oh while the rest
243
00:10:16,240 –> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: of the world outside of the Chiefs Kingdom is perplexed.
244
00:10:18,840 –> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Or angry at don’t I don’t either.
245
00:10:21,480 –> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: Can’t be proof scientifically, well maybe it can, but we’re
246
00:10:24,920 –> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: going to go into offense, defense and special teams and
247
00:10:27,080 –> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: give each one of our opinions why I think this
248
00:10:29,920 –> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: team is nine and oher and this team is unique,
249
00:10:31,800 –> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: different than the other teams. That’s what coach Reed says
250
00:10:33,880 –> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: every year. Every team’s unique. And you know what Buffalo
251
00:10:36,360 –> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 2: is unique. They’re different than they’ve been. We all think
252
00:10:38,760 –> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: it’s the same team. It is not the same Buffalo
253
00:10:41,679 –> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: team that we’ve seen in years past. But they’re eight
254
00:10:44,000 –> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: and two and they’ve done an excellent job. Sean McDermot
255
00:10:46,800 –> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen Okay, my opinion on the offensive side,
256
00:10:50,880 –> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: and I like to look at beyond the obvious stats
257
00:10:54,679 –> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: many times, and it’s the hidden yardage of why this
258
00:10:57,840 –> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 2: team is so much better booked the book right now,
259
00:11:00,120 –> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: the twenty three team, and it’s the fact that when
260
00:11:02,880 –> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: you look at drops last year, the Chiefs led the
261
00:11:04,800 –> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: galaxy and drops, it was ghastly. Depending on how you
262
00:11:08,880 –> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: view a drop from the different sources, anywhere between thirty
263
00:11:11,640 –> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 2: five and forty three. Well, if pat averages at nine
264
00:11:14,559 –> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: yards of completion, do the math, and if one hundred
265
00:11:17,160 –> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: yards equal seven points, do the math even further. This
266
00:11:20,559 –> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 2: year the Chiefs have only sixteens have fewer drops in
267
00:11:24,320 –> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs that adds up to almost seven points. The
268
00:11:28,200 –> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: other one and this is the big one, is penalties
269
00:11:31,360 –> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: that the third fewest penalties in the league on the
270
00:11:33,559 –> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs, third fewest penalties, And when you’re playing
271
00:11:36,640 –> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: a team like Denver or coming up.
272
00:11:38,160 –> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 5: This week against the Bills, who are number one in
273
00:11:42,000 –> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 5: the league, enforcing penalties against their opponent, you are gaining
274
00:11:47,360 –> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 5: yardage back.
275
00:11:48,840 –> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: Last year the Chiefs finished fourteenth.
276
00:11:50,840 –> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: I looked at it booked to book they were worse
277
00:11:52,640 –> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: than that at this point a year ago. You add
278
00:11:55,720 –> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: those two together, drop passes or way fewer drop passes
279
00:12:00,160 –> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of only seven compared to let’s say forty.
280
00:12:03,960 –> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 2: Then that and the penalty yardage, which is way better,
281
00:12:07,640 –> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 2: you’re actually getting somewhere in the range of ten to
282
00:12:10,480 –> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: thirteen points you didn’t have a year ago. That’s how
283
00:12:13,200 –> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 2: you win close games. And to me, that’s two overlooked
284
00:12:16,400 –> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: areas of why this Chiefs team is nine to zero.
285
00:12:18,840 –> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 4: That exact kind of overall category is why we lost
286
00:12:23,080 –> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: some games last year. I think about the Lions game,
287
00:12:25,880 –> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 4: for sure, penalties and drops, the Packers game, the Broncos
288
00:12:30,360 –> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 4: game in Denver for sure, the Raiders game on Christmas,
289
00:12:32,679 –> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 4: no doubt, and the Bills game was a penalty at
290
00:12:35,720 –> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 4: the very end or else. We’ve done that game, So
291
00:12:38,000 –> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: I’m with you one hundred percent on that. Another one,
292
00:12:40,720 –> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 4: and this is a bit more obvious, but it is
293
00:12:42,400 –> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 4: kind of a fun one. It’s third down efficiency. Our
294
00:12:45,080 –> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 4: third down offense has been excellent this year. Were the
295
00:12:48,000 –> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: number one third down offense in the NFL at fifty
296
00:12:51,040 –> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: two percent. And it’s not just a certain distance. Really
297
00:12:54,800 –> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 4: all over the place, we’ve been really good and efficient.
298
00:12:57,280 –> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 4: On third and four to third and six, we’re converting
299
00:13:00,960 –> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: seventy two point four percent of the time, best in
300
00:13:03,600 –> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: the NFL. Third and seven or longer we’re at thirty
301
00:13:06,760 –> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: four point six percent of the time, also best in
302
00:13:08,840 –> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 4: the NFL, and specifically third and ten. Nobody ever wants
303
00:13:12,280 –> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: to be in third and ten, but we’re best in
304
00:13:14,679 –> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: the NFL on third down at third and ten as well,
305
00:13:17,160 –> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 4: at thirty two point one percent. We’ve converted nine third
306
00:13:20,679 –> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 4: and ten or longers this year. Since d Hop got here,
307
00:13:24,080 –> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 4: we’re even better. We’re sixty two percent overall on third down,
308
00:13:27,120 –> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: best in the NFL since he got here. And looking
309
00:13:30,280 –> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 4: at some advanced metrics as well, are you familiar with EPA, yep, So,
310
00:13:34,559 –> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 4: looking at EPA, it’s expected points added it’s basically a
311
00:13:37,800 –> 00:13:40,359
Speaker 4: measure of how well a team performs relative to expectation,
312
00:13:41,000 –> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 4: kind of like war and baseball, and of course, like
313
00:13:44,000 –> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 4: take it with a grain of salt. I mean, it’s
314
00:13:45,880 –> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 4: not a hard fast stat but there’s some subjectivity to it.
315
00:13:50,280 –> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: But overall, EPA you.
316
00:13:52,080 –> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: Have to start like win’s above replacement in baseball.
317
00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 4: Where’s your start as a baseline, Yeah, there’s got to
318
00:13:57,120 –> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: be a point, So just take it for what you will.
319
00:13:58,960 –> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 4: But in this case it helps my point because in
320
00:14:01,040 –> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 4: terms of EPA on third down, the Chiefs are the
321
00:14:04,160 –> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: best offense in the NFL in terms of total EPA
322
00:14:07,320 –> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 4: and success rate. They’re also sixth and explosive play rate
323
00:14:10,760 –> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 4: on third down. Based on EPA, it means they stay
324
00:14:13,880 –> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: on the field all right, and Casey leads the NFL
325
00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: and drives of ten or more plays with twenty six
326
00:14:20,080 –> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 4: and when they finish in the red zone, this formula.
327
00:14:22,640 –> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: Is just very very difficult to beat.
328
00:14:24,880 –> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 4: And the Chiefs had done that for a couple weeks
329
00:14:27,520 –> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 4: from week seven through nine, they were eleven for thirteen
330
00:14:30,520 –> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: in terms of a red zone touchdown efficiency. Last week
331
00:14:33,120 –> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: just won for four. That’s why the game was close.
332
00:14:35,080 –> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 4: That difference there is twelve points if the Chiefs finished
333
00:14:37,520 –> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 4: in the red zone just one more time last week.
334
00:14:39,840 –> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 4: We’re not talking about a game winning blockoff, So anyway,
335
00:14:43,800 –> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: for me, it’s third down efficiency. The Chiefs have been
336
00:14:46,040 –> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 4: nails on third down all year long. Got to be
337
00:14:48,320 –> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: good on third down against the Bills.
338
00:14:50,160 –> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: And to your point you mentioned the third and ten
339
00:14:52,480 –> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 2: plus the Denver Broncos outstanding defense.
340
00:14:56,200 –> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: We saw it. We laid it out for you last week.
341
00:14:59,200 –> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: We’re two of twenty seven in dislacking twenty five out
342
00:15:03,240 –> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: of twenty seven times they disallowed a first down on
343
00:15:05,440 –> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: third and ten plus, and those two were scrambled runs,
344
00:15:08,880 –> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: not passes. The Chiefs had two in this game of
345
00:15:12,120 –> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: thirty yards or more, the p Ryan play of thirty
346
00:15:14,800 –> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: three yards and the d Hop play of thirty one.
347
00:15:17,200 –> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: And if you look at Pat’s comparison of his life
348
00:15:20,600 –> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: with the hop and without the hop, then you’ll see
349
00:15:24,760 –> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: one of the reasons reason that this team actually has
350
00:15:27,600 –> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: a ceiling moving forward because the numbers are drastically better.
351
00:15:30,680 –> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: So offensively, there’s our opinion of why we think the
352
00:15:33,680 –> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs are nine to zero that you’re not going to
353
00:15:35,880 –> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 2: hear from the national pundits. We’re mystified that why is
354
00:15:39,080 –> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 2: this team the worst team to be nine to zero?
355
00:15:40,960 –> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: Maybe not?
356
00:15:42,200 –> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 2: And this team has ceiling that O’ll frighten everybody who
357
00:15:45,680 –> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: doubt and disrespect and dislike the Chiefs. All right, defense,
358
00:15:48,520 –> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: you get the first one defense. So I’m gonna go
359
00:15:50,960 –> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: with our run defense this year. And this is a
360
00:15:53,280 –> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: super basic answer, but I think it’s at the core
361
00:15:56,280 –> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: of why any defense is good.
362
00:15:57,520 –> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 4: And you got to stop the run first. And the
363
00:15:59,080 –> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 4: Chiefs defense has been excellent against the run this year.
364
00:16:02,440 –> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 4: We’re allowing three point sixty five yards per rush this season.
365
00:16:05,440 –> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 4: Only Baltimore has been better. We’re allowing just eighty three
366
00:16:08,640 –> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 4: point two rushing yards per game, third best in the NFL.
367
00:16:12,000 –> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 4: We’ve allowed only sixteen runs of ten or more yards,
368
00:16:14,760 –> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: second best in the league. And the only player who
369
00:16:17,640 –> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 4: has had any success on the ground against us this
370
00:16:20,040 –> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 4: year has been Lamar Jackson. Lamar rushed for one hundred
371
00:16:22,920 –> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: and twenty two yards in Week one. Almost all of
372
00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 4: those were scrambles, and Lamar is a unique player right,
373
00:16:29,840 –> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 4: very difficult to stop him because he’s also a quarterback
374
00:16:32,720 –> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 4: who can throw the football. Everyone else this year against
375
00:16:35,960 –> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: the Chiefs has struggled to run the football. Listen to
376
00:16:38,000 –> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 4: all these players who had double digit carries against the Chiefs.
377
00:16:41,600 –> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: Jordan Mason just fifty eight rushing yards, Derrick Henry forty
378
00:16:45,120 –> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: six rushing yards, could be the MVP of the league
379
00:16:47,360 –> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 4: forty six yards, JK Dobbins thirty two yards, Bjean Robbinson
380
00:16:51,080 –> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 4: thirty one yards, Alvin Kamara had twenty six yards, and
381
00:16:54,040 –> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: Alexander Mattinson on the Raiders just fifteen rushing yards on
382
00:16:57,680 –> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: fourteen carries. We’re making team one dimensional every single week
383
00:17:02,040 –> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 4: and you force these quarterbacks to make plays, and sometimes
384
00:17:05,320 –> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: they will, but if you make them, you force them
385
00:17:08,080 –> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 4: to make plays every single time. Eventually they’re going to
386
00:17:10,920 –> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 4: make a mistake, there’s going to be an incompletion, something’s
387
00:17:13,320 –> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 4: gonna happen. And that’s one of the main reasons the
388
00:17:15,480 –> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: defense has held thirty consecutive opponents under twenty eight total points.
389
00:17:19,359 –> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: Now we’re back all the way to the early days
390
00:17:21,040 –> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: of Andy Reid in Philadelphia, to the last time that
391
00:17:24,320 –> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: was Jim Johnson’s defense, amazing defensive coordinator. And I will
392
00:17:30,200 –> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: add mine why I think this team is nine to zero,
393
00:17:33,040 –> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 2: and I’ll take it down to a personal player. There
394
00:17:35,640 –> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: are three players who have gone not one notch higher,
395
00:17:38,560 –> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: but two notches higher. Think about ninety days ago in
396
00:17:41,560 –> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: the discussion about and I love Lageria Snead, I love him,
397
00:17:45,280 –> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 2: I love him. But Jamari Connor booked a book as
398
00:17:48,840 –> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: playing at a level higher than Lagerius Snead was at
399
00:17:52,000 –> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 2: this time in his career.
400
00:17:52,960 –> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: Chamorroy Connor has been brilliant.
401
00:17:54,400 –> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, coverage open field tackling, which is overlooked in
402
00:17:58,880 –> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: this league. He is one the best open field tacklers,
403
00:18:01,760 –> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: much like Sneed was in the National Football League. Big
404
00:18:04,960 –> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: jump higher for Tamari Connor. Another one is Turk Wharton.
405
00:18:08,400 –> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: We saw it in OTAs, we saw it in training camp.
406
00:18:11,760 –> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 2: They usually do not lie in that eye test. And
407
00:18:15,560 –> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: what Turk Wharton has done is elevate to a level
408
00:18:19,440 –> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: that most thought he would never reach. And another one
409
00:18:23,119 –> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 2: is Leo Chanal. Leo Chanal his play and we’re going
410
00:18:26,720 –> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: to get into it with Leo here in a second.
411
00:18:28,280 –> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: His play against Yushchek on the wheel route in the
412
00:18:31,040 –> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: San Francisco game.
413
00:18:32,440 –> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: We saw it last year in the Super Bowl.
414
00:18:34,520 –> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: Impact plays there, the block pat forcing fumbles. But Leoh
415
00:18:39,400 –> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: has taken his game to two levels higher, and why
416
00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: not jump in and check out with number fifty four
417
00:18:46,560 –> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: of the Kansas City Chiefs. This week’s guest Leo Chanal.
418
00:18:50,720 –> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 2: Why wouldn’t we have him on defending the Kingdom? Leo
419
00:18:53,840 –> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: Chanal incredible with the block field goal. But I’m going
420
00:18:57,200 –> 00:19:00,040
Speaker 2: to ask you to start. What people are trying to
421
00:19:00,040 –> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: figure out is how we’re nine and oh and that’s
422
00:19:02,480 –> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: the thesis of this show. What would you say? Why
423
00:19:06,240 –> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: is this team nine and oh? Because it’s mystifying the world,
424
00:19:09,359 –> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 2: like the chief should not be nine and oh the
425
00:19:11,160 –> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 2: worst nine or o team ever? What would you say?
426
00:19:13,960 –> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 5: I just say that we really really find a way
427
00:19:16,320 –> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 5: to win, whether it’s offense, defense, special teams.
428
00:19:19,560 –> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: You know, when when one area is.
429
00:19:21,160 –> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 5: Kind of slacking, not playing up to the standard, I
430
00:19:23,040 –> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 5: feel like, you know, the other the other phase kind
431
00:19:25,480 –> 00:19:27,199
Speaker 5: of pulls pulls the slack a little bit.
432
00:19:27,240 –> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: It’s it’s kind of crazy to.
433
00:19:28,600 –> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 5: See, even for me being here for three years, the
434
00:19:31,160 –> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 5: way that we find a way to win, you know,
435
00:19:33,640 –> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 5: pull each other up when again, when offense or defense
436
00:19:36,720 –> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 5: slacking and we’re like we always hype each other up
437
00:19:38,760 –> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 5: on the sideline going out, It’s you just see a
438
00:19:41,080 –> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 5: bunch of guys just constantly pulling out each other.
439
00:19:43,359 –> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: It’s kind of like synergy.
440
00:19:44,680 –> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 5: Man, It’s like working together, and it’s like a constant
441
00:19:47,320 –> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 5: you know, it’s throughout the week two. You know, it’s
442
00:19:49,280 –> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 5: it’s guys pulling each other up when somebody miss up play.
443
00:19:52,080 –> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 5: It’s it’s constant, you know, just encouragement.
444
00:19:54,760 –> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: You’ve been a part of a lot of big wins,
445
00:19:56,680 –> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 4: a lot of big moments here, as in you’ve been
446
00:19:58,560 –> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 4: in Kansas City. Where does the electricity in the stadium rank?
447
00:20:02,200 –> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: Though?
448
00:20:02,520 –> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 4: And I mean everyone just lost their minds. How cool
449
00:20:04,920 –> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 4: is that? Uh, It’s it’s unreal. It’s it was.
450
00:20:08,560 –> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 5: It was so much disbelief, you know, I was saying earlier,
451
00:20:11,440 –> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 5: it’s like you feel the feeling of the ball, you know, hit,
452
00:20:14,240 –> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 5: You hear the sound, no greater sound, you know you
453
00:20:17,720 –> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 5: you sense all that, and you still got to like
454
00:20:20,320 –> 00:20:22,719
Speaker 5: look around like did this really happen? And you just
455
00:20:22,760 –> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 5: see the smiles and the excitement with everybody, your teammates,
456
00:20:26,320 –> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 5: the fans, all that. It’s so hard to beat and
457
00:20:30,440 –> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 5: there’s very few moments that I could, you know, compare to.
458
00:20:32,800 –> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: It even got Coach Read to smile.
459
00:20:34,320 –> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 4: You were talking about this earlier off camera, but if
460
00:20:36,600 –> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 4: you watch the broadcast. Even coach Reid is like whoa
461
00:20:39,440 –> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 4: and smiles all big. It’s just the best.
462
00:20:41,800 –> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, I brought that up because
463
00:20:43,880 –> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 5: I’m like, man, this guy, like during game, he is stoic,
464
00:20:46,440 –> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 5: you know, he’s so serious when there’s a great play,
465
00:20:49,000 –> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 5: a bad play, you know, he’s just always just like
466
00:20:51,280 –> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 5: he’s like locked in, you know.
467
00:20:52,520 –> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: And just seeing that was like, Okay, that’s pretty sweet.
468
00:20:55,920 –> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: I’ve told Matt this many times.
469
00:20:57,720 –> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 2: There’s no sweeter sound in football then that thump of
470
00:21:01,400 –> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: a block kick, whether it’s a field goal or a punt.
471
00:21:03,960 –> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: But the belief that you had when we talked to
472
00:21:06,080 –> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 2: you after the game on rewind the belief that you had.
473
00:21:09,800 –> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 2: And I’m gonna add this one with the question the
474
00:21:12,359 –> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: class of twenty two. I was impressed with you guys
475
00:21:15,920 –> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: the first day you walked in the building. But Cochrane
476
00:21:19,240 –> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: blows the dude, you’re coming, Carl Loftis is coming right
477
00:21:22,760 –> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: behind you. Start with the belief that you guys were
478
00:21:25,440 –> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 2: going to pull that off one percent of one percent
479
00:21:28,920 –> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: chance to that class, and the fact that you guys
480
00:21:32,560 –> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: are so strong mentally.
481
00:21:34,320 –> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, to start it off, it’s it’s just
482
00:21:37,040 –> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 5: that that unit that we have.
483
00:21:39,359 –> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: You know I mentioned it.
484
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 5: Uh, it’s the punt return safe unit, it’s the field
485
00:21:43,920 –> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 5: goal block unit. It’s anytime you know, guys are on
486
00:21:47,040 –> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 5: special teams that aren’t normally on special teams, and it’s
487
00:21:49,760 –> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 5: everybody but that specific group. They’re they’re starters on defense.
488
00:21:53,840 –> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 5: They don’t you know, a lot of people get by
489
00:21:55,640 –> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 5: with not giving you know, one hundred percent effort. Eight
490
00:21:57,800 –> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 5: maybe they’re good ninety percent effort. But if you watch
491
00:22:01,280 –> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 5: just our punt return team when when they’re in, those
492
00:22:04,119 –> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 5: are some of our biggest plays when the defense stay
493
00:22:07,359 –> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 5: is in, They’re they’re really going hard every play. You
494
00:22:10,000 –> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 5: see Turk and everybody running downfield, you know, blocking guys
495
00:22:13,480 –> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 5: up in the line, and then field goal block.
496
00:22:15,640 –> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: It’s just one hundred percent.
497
00:22:16,760 –> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 5: Like you go on fifteen to twenty play drives and
498
00:22:19,359 –> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 5: they’re just zooming off the ball still. You know, just
499
00:22:22,720 –> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 5: Jay Reid, you know someone I mentioned, like I’m constantly
500
00:22:24,760 –> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 5: competing with him. He’s he’s out there way more plays
501
00:22:26,840 –> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 5: than me and he’s just beating me off the ball
502
00:22:28,520 –> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 5: and it’s just insane. And uh, you know, we kind
503
00:22:31,760 –> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 5: of we kind of knew like, okay, we can we
504
00:22:34,480 –> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 5: can do this. You know, it’s all on us right now,
505
00:22:36,880 –> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: and you know we love that we we love that
506
00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 5: we have the opportunity. You know, we’ve been waiting for
507
00:22:40,600 –> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 5: times like this and we haven’t had a big play
508
00:22:42,920 –> 00:22:45,239
Speaker 5: on field goal block you know, all year, and we
509
00:22:45,320 –> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: kind of we kind of had a confidence and we
510
00:22:47,600 –> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 5: had that coolness too. It’s like all right, like let’s
511
00:22:50,160 –> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 5: try this. Like Derek Noughty, like that’s overlooked too.
512
00:22:53,040 –> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: You know.
513
00:22:53,280 –> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 5: He had a perfect swipe and the momentum of you know,
514
00:22:56,240 –> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 5: the on the lineman came down which allowed George you
515
00:22:58,920 –> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: know to come free right there, and you know, the
516
00:23:00,800 –> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 5: great get off of Jack and Jay Reid on the
517
00:23:02,600 –> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 5: outside you know, made everything possible. And you could see
518
00:23:05,840 –> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 5: George too, he was about to block it if I didn’t.
519
00:23:08,440 –> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 5: So we just had a great all around just effort
520
00:23:10,760 –> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 5: there and uh and then to our class. You know,
521
00:23:14,040 –> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 5: I think it’s it’s really cool to be part of it.
522
00:23:15,920 –> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 5: We got some you know, we got some great players
523
00:23:18,720 –> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 5: all around. I can go up and down, you know,
524
00:23:20,960 –> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 5: the whole list. But you know, you guys know, and
525
00:23:23,800 –> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 5: you know we’re just we’re just doing our best, you know,
526
00:23:25,640 –> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 5: to you know, help out this defense and do the
527
00:23:28,240 –> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 5: best we can. But yeah, I mean that can’t say
528
00:23:31,760 –> 00:23:33,679
Speaker 5: much to it. We’ve we’ve just got great players. Let
529
00:23:33,720 –> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 5: me go back, though, you’re talking about defense on the field.
530
00:23:35,760 –> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 5: How much of that was mccole’s punt return against San
531
00:23:38,680 –> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 5: Francisco one two? How close were you thinking on the
532
00:23:42,600 –> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 5: kick six, thinking you’re gonna get an Auburn Alabama kick
533
00:23:46,160 –> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 5: six out of McCole at the end of the half? Oh,
534
00:23:49,440 –> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 5: I mean it’s crazy, Yeah, the pump return with McCole.
535
00:23:53,240 –> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 5: I mean it’s we have some great returns, you know,
536
00:23:55,960 –> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 5: with with defensive Stay, like even last year, the year before,
537
00:23:58,640 –> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 5: it’s like almost all our bigger turns, you know, defensive Stay.
538
00:24:03,080 –> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 5: You know, we got to score, and we talk about
539
00:24:04,680 –> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 5: that too, like it’s coming and coach Toves has constantly
540
00:24:07,359 –> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 5: pushed us and has been a great motivator for us.
541
00:24:09,600 –> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: You know, we got we’re gonna score. We’re gonna pop
542
00:24:11,240 –> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: onver these.
543
00:24:11,600 –> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 5: Because I don’t know if defense days really ever scored,
544
00:24:14,520 –> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 5: maybe very little.
545
00:24:15,480 –> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: Maybe we won’t want to be the first if it
546
00:24:16,920 –> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: hasn’t been. What was the next one?
547
00:24:20,760 –> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: Uh?
548
00:24:21,280 –> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 2: Talking about the getting the kick six? Oh yeah, the
549
00:24:23,880 –> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 2: Auburn Alabama kick six. Thinking Okay, sixty yarder misses here
550
00:24:27,520 –> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: he comes.
551
00:24:28,200 –> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he said, all the way after the fifty Yeah,
552
00:24:30,320 –> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 5: I mean he’s okay. We set up, you know, it’s
553
00:24:32,440 –> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 5: obviously a lot of teams would go to the bench,
554
00:24:34,400 –> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 5: you know, setting up for that. And he starts running
555
00:24:36,560 –> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: away and we’re like, I’m like, where are you going.
556
00:24:38,680 –> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 5: I’m like, I’m like sprinting back, like trying to get
557
00:24:40,640 –> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 5: a block over there, and like somehow he gets out
558
00:24:42,920 –> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 5: of it and Jay Reid, like if you watch Jay
559
00:24:44,720 –> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 5: Reid on that play, he does a hip by takes
560
00:24:46,680 –> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 5: out like two or three guys, you know, just kind
561
00:24:48,920 –> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 5: of spring him, and.
562
00:24:50,480 –> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, he almost got out.
563
00:24:51,600 –> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 5: It was like one guy and like barely tripped him up,
564
00:24:54,560 –> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 5: and then we had a whole, like a whole bunch
565
00:24:56,960 –> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 5: of guys kyler Ree just waiting, you know, to leave
566
00:24:58,880 –> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 5: him in.
567
00:24:59,520 –> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 4: I thought it was Tante Hall two thousand and three
568
00:25:01,240 –> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 4: for a minute. It was so close.
569
00:25:03,840 –> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: Leo.
570
00:25:04,119 –> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: I’ve asked you this before.
571
00:25:05,320 –> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 4: When you think about your twenty twenty two draft class
572
00:25:07,720 –> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 4: and when you were at Draft Fest all those years ago,
573
00:25:10,040 –> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 4: there’s so much excitement about what you guys could achieve,
574
00:25:12,840 –> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 4: and looking back too, Super Bowls best defense in the NFL.
575
00:25:16,440 –> 00:25:18,880
Speaker 4: You’re nine to zero in your third season. Now, it’s
576
00:25:18,920 –> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 4: what’s it mean to you to be a part of
577
00:25:20,200 –> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 4: this and to reflect on all the success that you’ve
578
00:25:22,119 –> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 4: had and your short career so far and the success
579
00:25:24,920 –> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 4: you can hopefully have moving forward to.
580
00:25:26,680 –> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it’s it’s been a while, and but
581
00:25:30,240 –> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 5: it’s it’s gone so gone by so fast, you know,
582
00:25:32,560 –> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 5: especially for me, and just a lot a lot of
583
00:25:34,280 –> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 5: things happening in life, a lot of a lot of
584
00:25:35,880 –> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 5: big things, and it’s so easy for it to just
585
00:25:38,040 –> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 5: like go, let it go by fast and be like
586
00:25:39,520 –> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: all right, whatever, you know, on to the next thing.
587
00:25:41,359 –> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 5: But you know, we really do have to like stop
588
00:25:43,520 –> 00:25:46,479
Speaker 5: and appreciate it and like look back at you know,
589
00:25:46,480 –> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 5: where we were, and you know what we’ve accomplished, and
590
00:25:49,960 –> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 5: also look at like what we can accomplish still that’s
591
00:25:52,720 –> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 5: the biggest thing. And you know, I look back to that,
592
00:25:56,000 –> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 5: you know, the post combined deal, and I remember, you know,
593
00:25:59,760 –> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: the guy I sit on my sideb Cook, and you know, trying.
594
00:26:02,520 –> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: You know, it’s just we’ve come we’ve come far, and
595
00:26:06,520 –> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 5: you know, it’s it’s pretty cool to be a part
596
00:26:08,080 –> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 5: of and with all those same guys a lot a
597
00:26:10,400 –> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 5: lot of times. You know, you see teams break up
598
00:26:12,359 –> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 5: and split apart, and you know, we we do a
599
00:26:14,520 –> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 5: really good job here at just retaining guys. And it’s
600
00:26:16,640 –> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 5: it’s really cool to have that kind of like family
601
00:26:18,320 –> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 5: feel to it. And the biggest thing, like I said,
602
00:26:20,880 –> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 5: is just keep moving and keep doing doing more.
603
00:26:23,240 –> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 4: He had the crowd at day one of Draft Fest
604
00:26:25,520 –> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: like everyone was like, this guy’s perfect, he’s awesome.
605
00:26:28,200 –> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: Well, I asked him, what do you bring to the
606
00:26:29,720 –> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 2: Chiefs Kingdom? He goes violence and physicality.
607
00:26:35,200 –> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 1: That’s ascounting for you.
608
00:26:36,720 –> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: Uh, it’s been awesome to see you grow in your
609
00:26:39,640 –> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 2: game and it really I thought, I mean, you’re a
610
00:26:42,760 –> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: menace man, and I thought it just hit warp speed
611
00:26:45,880 –> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: in the playoffs last year. But I’m gonna ask you
612
00:26:48,000 –> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: about a single play because I asked Brandon Daylor about
613
00:26:51,040 –> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: it when you covered the wheel route by us check
614
00:26:53,680 –> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: in the San Francisco game, and I’m going, I’m calling
615
00:26:57,119 –> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: it on the air, going that’s Leo covering up the field.
616
00:27:00,520 –> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: How big was that play in the fact that how
617
00:27:02,119 –> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: much you’ve grown.
618
00:27:02,760 –> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 5: In coverage, Yeah, I mean it means a lot because
619
00:27:06,880 –> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 5: you know, going to the draft process, you know you
620
00:27:10,000 –> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 5: don’t want to like focus on negativity obviously as a player.
621
00:27:12,960 –> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 5: But you know, I had a GM, you know, talking
622
00:27:15,880 –> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 5: on the phone that said, like, you know, you’re bad
623
00:27:18,920 –> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 5: at coverage.
624
00:27:19,520 –> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: You’ll never get better. He told me that straight up, and.
625
00:27:22,920 –> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, I look at that and I’m like, man,
626
00:27:25,359 –> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 5: how can somebody say that to me? And I got
627
00:27:27,720 –> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 5: a long ways to go, you know, But just to
628
00:27:29,840 –> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 5: be able to improve, you know, and kind of show
629
00:27:32,280 –> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 5: that you know, I can improve, and it just means
630
00:27:34,840 –> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 5: a lot. And that specific play, you know, obviously coaches
631
00:27:38,080 –> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 5: b D. Brennan, coach daily is preparing me for that,
632
00:27:40,520 –> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 5: like all right, like you played aggressive right here last time, like,
633
00:27:43,480 –> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 5: and they have this in their pockets, so just be
634
00:27:45,480 –> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 5: aware for it. So you know, we kind of saw
635
00:27:48,200 –> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 5: coming because I was, you know, prepared for it. So
636
00:27:51,520 –> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 5: it’s kind of kind of cool to be able to
637
00:27:53,359 –> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 5: make that and be like, all right, well I can
638
00:27:55,000 –> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 5: do this a little bit.
639
00:27:56,640 –> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 4: There’s a losing organizations and winning organizations and winning organization.
640
00:28:00,560 –> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 3: It gave you a shot. You’re obviously making the most
641
00:28:02,400 –> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 3: of it.
642
00:28:03,359 –> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 4: What do you think about Buffalo obviously a big matchup
643
00:28:05,520 –> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 4: here coming up with Josh Allen in that offense.
644
00:28:07,880 –> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: What do you think about stopping the Bills?
645
00:28:09,480 –> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 5: Man, it’s one hundred percent respect to that team. You know,
646
00:28:12,440 –> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 5: it’s you know I was saying earlier, it’s We’ve had
647
00:28:15,640 –> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 5: some amazing, historic, iconic battles with it, some historic calls,
648
00:28:20,520 –> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 5: you know, But you know, it’s it’s just you know,
649
00:28:23,440 –> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: playoff atmosphere, no matter if it’s the playoffs or not,
650
00:28:25,920 –> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 5: it’s it’s going to be a battle to the end,
651
00:28:28,080 –> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 5: you know, whether it’s four quarters, over time, whatever it is,
652
00:28:30,640 –> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 5: and no team is out of it. You know, you
653
00:28:32,680 –> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 5: got thirteen seconds, you got whatever it is. You have
654
00:28:35,480 –> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 5: to be locked in one hundred percent of time. Because
655
00:28:37,359 –> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 5: they got great players. Josh Allen is so good, you know, improvising,
656
00:28:41,280 –> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 5: and he’s got some great weapons around him. I got
657
00:28:43,200 –> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 5: a ton of respect for James Cook. You know what
658
00:28:44,760 –> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 5: is he able to do, How versatile he is in
659
00:28:46,640 –> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 5: the running game, in the passing game.
660
00:28:48,720 –> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: So it’s definitely a great challenge. When they go tempo,
661
00:28:51,720 –> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: they’ll go tempo.
662
00:28:52,560 –> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: We saw Denver go tempo and Josh Allen actually took
663
00:28:55,800 –> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: a game over here in twenty one prior to you
664
00:28:57,880 –> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: when he went tempo. Dealing with tempo offense, especially against
665
00:29:02,080 –> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: Josh and his ability to run and pass.
666
00:29:03,920 –> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: What are the keys as a defense.
667
00:29:05,440 –> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 5: And for you personally, I mean, I think one of
668
00:29:07,840 –> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 5: the big things just keeping your cool, taking a deep breath,
669
00:29:10,480 –> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 5: you know when they when they don’t want you to,
670
00:29:11,920 –> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 5: they want you to kind of be like, all right,
671
00:29:13,120 –> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 5: what’s the play?
672
00:29:13,600 –> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: What’s the playing?
673
00:29:14,200 –> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 5: Kind of just panic and worry about like what you know,
674
00:29:17,000 –> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 5: specific things and not give you time to you know,
675
00:29:19,160 –> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 5: trust your instinct or trust your keys what you’ve.
676
00:29:21,360 –> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: Been taught all week.
677
00:29:22,160 –> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 5: So it’s really just kind of keeping your cool and
678
00:29:25,320 –> 00:29:27,479
Speaker 5: you know, going back to you know practice and what
679
00:29:27,520 –> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 5: we’ve been you know, preaching all week, and and then
680
00:29:30,280 –> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 5: kind of slowing it down, you know, slowing the game
681
00:29:32,160 –> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 5: down when they want to make it fast for us.
682
00:29:33,880 –> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 5: And obviously we got to keep containing in those in
683
00:29:37,280 –> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 5: the in those moments because the improvisation of you know,
684
00:29:41,080 –> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 5: Josh Allen and it’s just a lot of key factors
685
00:29:44,000 –> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: that we got to slow down, you know, when they
686
00:29:45,520 –> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 5: want to make it fast.
687
00:29:46,440 –> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 4: Come, I get you back in that four point stance
688
00:29:48,120 –> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 4: in the red zone. The best ever man talk to
689
00:29:52,160 –> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 4: coach nagging man. I’ve been nagging him a little bit
690
00:29:55,040 –> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: for it, so we’ll see. Gotta let you carry it
691
00:29:57,960 –> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 4: in there. Just dig in there.
692
00:29:59,880 –> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: I an old time wishbone full back and then I
693
00:30:02,680 –> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: was slamming in there. That was uh, Grantsburg, Wisconsin, one
694
00:30:06,480 –> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: thousand and three hundred and eighty one people. Now, Matt knows.
695
00:30:08,720 –> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: I’m a small town guy that’s crazy about football. It’s
696
00:30:11,320 –> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: a crazy football town where I grew up. I love
697
00:30:14,000 –> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: it on small town guys. How cool was it growing
698
00:30:16,920 –> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 2: up in Grantsburg, Wisconsin as a pirate?
699
00:30:19,600 –> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 5: You know, I grew up in like West Sweden, went
700
00:30:22,160 –> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 5: to school in Frederick, so you know it was at
701
00:30:24,120 –> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 5: nil deal then, yeah, and a cheese deal.
702
00:30:27,360 –> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: Yea cheese dealer there you go.
703
00:30:29,440 –> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 5: But yeah, I mean just growing up in the area
704
00:30:31,800 –> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 5: is really cool. Everybody it’s so it’s so tight knit.
705
00:30:34,360 –> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 5: You know, I already have a big family and everything,
706
00:30:36,200 –> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 5: so I’m close to my siblings. So it’s like a
707
00:30:37,760 –> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 5: mini town already. But every everybody knows like everybody, So
708
00:30:42,400 –> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 5: it’s cool, and there’s there’s definitely a community feeling. Everybody
709
00:30:45,520 –> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 5: helps each other out, the neighbors, like it’s just a
710
00:30:48,000 –> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 5: connection to it and that you don’t get, you know,
711
00:30:49,760 –> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 5: in a big city. So it was pretty cool and
712
00:30:53,240 –> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 5: being in Grantsburg specifically, it’s you know, it’s the same way.
713
00:30:56,600 –> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 5: You know, I moved there my freshman year high school.
714
00:30:59,120 –> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: It’s it’s definitely good feeling.
715
00:31:00,800 –> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: And you know.
716
00:31:01,240 –> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 2: It was part of Let’s see the Supernatural Sharp Teeth
717
00:31:05,240 –> 00:31:07,160

Speaker 5: I remember that it’s in the It’s in film and Canada.
725
00:31:25,520 –> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 5: I was so excited to like see that scene. I’m like, man,
726
00:31:27,760 –> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 5: this is not grand scene.
727
00:31:29,600 –> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 3: It’s like when they shot Ozark, but it was in Georgia.
728
00:31:31,960 –> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.
729
00:31:32,280 –> 00:31:36,520

00:31:39,360 –> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 2: I won’t blow up for you.
732
00:31:40,640 –> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 5: It’s coming up, don’t man, Hey, shout out Jensen Ackles,
733
00:31:43,640 –> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: Jery Petalacky. It’s I’m telling you season season nine. It’s
734
00:31:49,360 –> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 5: in You’re in Gransburg’s in it?
735
00:31:50,880 –> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, Let’s go come on, yeah.
736
00:31:54,200 –> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 5: Let’s go to Buffalo and go ten and oh with
737
00:31:56,840 –> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 5: this guy.
738
00:31:57,640 –> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 2: Leo Chanel. Wow, Kingdom is now discovering more and more
739
00:32:03,120 –> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: about Leo Shanal.
740
00:32:04,400 –> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 4: He’s the best, just an awesome guy on and off
741
00:32:06,840 –> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 4: the field. An incredible moment at the stadium. I mean,
742
00:32:10,280 –> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: we’ve had so many great moments like I asked him,
743
00:32:12,760 –> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 4: and great games, but the electricity in the stadium in
744
00:32:17,160 –> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: that moment was just incredible. It is phenomenal, right, and
745
00:32:20,160 –> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 4: he was right in the middle of it. Another reason
746
00:32:22,520 –> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 4: why this team is nine to zero and why we’ve
747
00:32:24,520 –> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 4: had so much success over the last several years is
748
00:32:27,040 –> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 4: the Chiefs win on Day two and Day three of
749
00:32:29,400 –> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 4: the draft. And you talked about Treshaun Wharton, undrafted free
750
00:32:33,000 –> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 4: agent back in twenty twenty, Chamari Connor fourth round pick
751
00:32:36,120 –> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, and Leo Chanell getting him
752
00:32:38,400 –> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: in the third round. A lot of teams hit in
753
00:32:41,120 –> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 4: the first round. That’s important. We talk about top ten
754
00:32:43,560 –> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 4: picks and all that, but the Chiefs are going to
755
00:32:46,320 –> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 4: be picking at the bottom of each round every year
756
00:32:48,880 –> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 4: because we’re good. How do you adapt? How do you
757
00:32:51,800 –> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 4: keep that success going? You find players like Leo in
758
00:32:54,880 –> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 4: the third round who maybe some GMS man that’s crazy,
759
00:32:59,640 –> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 4: isn’t it. A GM told him that he would never
760
00:33:02,160 –> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 4: be good in coverage, like, okay, the guy’s like twenty
761
00:33:04,240 –> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 4: one years old. Whatever, Well, he finds a way to
762
00:33:06,680 –> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 4: be an impact player. And the Chiefs roster is full
763
00:33:09,240 –> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 4: of guys like that that maybe didn’t have all the
764
00:33:13,320 –> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 4: fanfare coming out of college. They weren’t a first round pick,
765
00:33:16,120 –> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 4: but the Chiefs say, let’s give you a chance, let’s
766
00:33:17,920 –> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 4: see what you can do in this system, and they thrive,
767
00:33:20,000 –> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 4: and it says a lot about the culture here.
768
00:33:22,440 –> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: I loved what he said about special teams. We’re going
769
00:33:24,320 –> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: to close it out this way because you and I
770
00:33:25,800 –> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: have given our opinion of why we think this team
771
00:33:27,880 –> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 2: is nine and zero while the rest of the world
772
00:33:29,480 –> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: is mystified by it. And I love what he said
773
00:33:32,280 –> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: about special teams. Even when it’s the defense out there
774
00:33:34,720 –> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: on teams and they want to get a return. They
775
00:33:36,400 –> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 2: almost got it with McCole Hardman against San Francis, so close,
776
00:33:39,280 –> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 2: so awesome. But I would say on special teams, we’re
777
00:33:44,800 –> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: looking at it why this is different? And my thought
778
00:33:48,040 –> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: is McCole hardman, honestly, his confidence is back.
779
00:33:51,440 –> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: The punt return.
780
00:33:52,200 –> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: That punt return is nearly kick six at halftime against
781
00:33:57,680 –> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: the Broncos. Mc Coole Hardman is back in the return
782
00:34:01,200 –> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: game with his confidence that he was in twenty nineteen
783
00:34:05,120 –> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: when he started all this with that fifty eight yard
784
00:34:07,280 –> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: kickoff return in the rally against the Houston Texans. And
785
00:34:10,239 –> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: then there’s other contributors, guys like Jayden Hicks, Cam Jones
786
00:34:14,520 –> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 2: and others who have Jack Cochran that we mentioned there.
787
00:34:17,920 –> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: But to me, special teams wins games. We just saw
788
00:34:20,600 –> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: it literally and literally just saw it. But attention to
789
00:34:24,760 –> 00:34:27,839
Speaker 2: detail your thought on why special teams in this team
790
00:34:27,880 –> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: is nine to now.
791
00:34:28,760 –> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 4: The coordinators always speak to the media on Thursday. I
792
00:34:31,640 –> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 4: can’t wait to see just the swagger that tobwalks in
793
00:34:34,800 –> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 4: up to the press conference rom on Thursday. He’s going
794
00:34:37,320 –> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 4: to be the happiest guy in the world. Myanzer is
795
00:34:39,960 –> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 4: Mattaiza at punter. He’s averaging fifty point five yards per
796
00:34:43,640 –> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 4: punt this year, only punted twenty six times as twenty
797
00:34:47,360 –> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 4: seventh in the NFL. The Chiefs don’t punt a whole lot,
798
00:34:49,960 –> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 4: but al those twenty six punts, he’s dropped eleven of
799
00:34:52,400 –> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 4: them inside the opponent’s twenty yard line. And think about
800
00:34:55,320 –> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: the formula for the Chiefs this year. So it’s this
801
00:34:57,960 –> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 4: ball control style of offense. It’s converting on third down
802
00:35:01,760 –> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 4: kind of grindings moving down the field.
803
00:35:04,320 –> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: Hopefully they score.
804
00:35:05,239 –> 00:35:08,240
Speaker 4: But if they don’t score, okay, we’ll bring out matt Riza,
805
00:35:08,520 –> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 4: maybe one of the best punters in the NFL. Pen
806
00:35:11,160 –> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 4: you deep in your own territory, then let the best
807
00:35:13,280 –> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 4: defense in football go to work. Let’s say the opposition
808
00:35:16,880 –> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 4: goes three and out, they punt. Now we have the
809
00:35:18,760 –> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 4: ball at the fifty, so matt Riza. You can break
810
00:35:21,560 –> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 4: it down a whole bunch of games this year where
811
00:35:24,320 –> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 4: maybe the offense is struggling a little bit, but he
812
00:35:26,520 –> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 4: booms like a sixty five yard punt, the defense makes
813
00:35:29,640 –> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 4: a play and then we score. So the field position
814
00:35:32,880 –> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 4: game isn’t a super fun thing to talk about, but
815
00:35:35,000 –> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 4: Matta Riza has been such a weapon for the Chiefs
816
00:35:37,360 –> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 4: this year.
817
00:35:37,960 –> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: Remember, everybody is net punting. Don’t look at gross as
818
00:35:40,600 –> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: much as net punting. But when he hit that one
819
00:35:43,000 –> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter at the nine exactly, that was
820
00:35:45,880 –> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: a gigantic play in that game. And then Felix was
821
00:35:48,560 –> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 2: able to smell out the play that they were waiting
822
00:35:51,520 –> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 2: to run on the design run by bow Nicks, but
823
00:35:54,520 –> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 2: to get him stop back there led to the go
824
00:35:57,040 –> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: ahead field goal, So I’m with you on matt Riza.
825
00:36:00,280 –> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: So there you go, folks.
826
00:36:02,120 –> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: That’s just some of our thoughts of why this Kansas
827
00:36:04,200 –> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 2: City team is nine and oh and how good is
828
00:36:06,480 –> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 2: Lee O?
829
00:36:07,560 –> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 1: And can the Chiefs go ten? And oh?
830
00:36:09,840 –> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: And set an all time franchise record in Buffalo
