‘The Next Box’ – Chiefs vs Browns Preview w/ CB Trent McDuffie | Defending The Kingdom

1
00:00:00,560 –> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Every year when the NFL year begins, and I mean

2
00:00:03,960 –> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: all the way back in March, all thirty two teams

3
00:00:07,360 –> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: have boxes to check. One win the division, first priority,

4
00:00:12,280 –> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: that gets you a home game and into the playoffs.

5
00:00:15,240 –> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: But another box to check, try to get the one

6
00:00:18,239 –> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: by available in the AFC of the NFC. For the

7
00:00:21,560 –> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, chasing history, they have checked two boxes.

8
00:00:26,079 –> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: They’re in the playoffs, they’ve won the division, and now

9
00:00:29,440 –> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: it’s the next box to check. And it’s all brought

10
00:00:32,400 –> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: to you by Ticketmaster. Placement is down, rights, kick is out,

11
00:00:37,600 –> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and the kick is God, God, God, How everyone. Mitchelda’s

12
00:00:45,159 –> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: voice of the Chiefs along with senior team reporter. And

13
00:00:48,120 –> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: by the way, we have one of our Kingdom defenders,

14
00:00:51,159 –> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: and I would say one of more more mature Kingdom defenders.

15
00:00:53,760 –> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: He’s retired. He loves watching everything we do. And he said,

16
00:00:57,880 –> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: you’ve got to tell matter, introduce mat a different way

17
00:01:00,200 –> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: than senior team reporter. I go, well, how am I

18
00:01:01,880 –> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: supposed to do it? His name is Paul Hanson. He’s

19
00:01:04,160 –> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: a huge Chiefs fan, goes all the way back to

20
00:01:05,920 –> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: he attended games in Municipal Stadium. He watches everything he goes.

21
00:01:09,319 –> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: I don’t know, something like Grand Pooba of things. But anyway, Paul,

22
00:01:14,120 –> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: you know, and I think he might be the Paul

23
00:01:16,080 –> 00:01:19,479
Speaker 1: the magic hat on the on the Hamewark movie. Wow, okay,

24
00:01:19,640 –> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: he might be the actual figure that the movie was

25
00:01:22,280 –> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: made of, the Ed Bigley junior character. Yeah, that might

26
00:01:24,959 –> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: be Paul Hanson himself in the flesh. And you met him,

27
00:01:28,120 –> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I’ve met him. And he’s a big fan

28
00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: of Matt McMullen. Because say hi to Matt.

29
00:01:33,600 –> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: I’m with him, though I’m not huge into titles, you know,

30
00:01:36,680 –> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: and with the senior team reporter always begs the question

31
00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: who is the junior team reporter? So I don’t sure

32
00:01:41,840 –> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 2: what he’s saying.

33
00:01:42,640 –> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: But you would agree with him. You want a bigger,

34
00:01:44,240 –> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: better title, then.

35
00:01:45,720 –> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you can call me whatever you want. Awesome,

36
00:01:50,680 –> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: Matt’s dad, professional fan. I feel sometimes.

37
00:01:54,600 –> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Really good, dude, let’s just do that. Really good smart dude,

38
00:01:58,080 –> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: really good, smart, passionate dude, all good trait. The next

39
00:02:01,480 –> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: box to check in the Kansas City Chiefs now with,

40
00:02:04,560 –> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: Let’s just start with nine consecutive AFC West championships. I

41
00:02:08,560 –> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: don’t care if you are a new fan defending Kingdom

42
00:02:12,520 –> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 1: Defender Club in Cambodia, or you love us in the Philippines,

43
00:02:16,520 –> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: where we’ve now located you geographically, or if you’re in Lebanon, Kansas, Lebanon, Missouri,

44
00:02:21,440 –> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: or Lebanon, Indiana. Never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

45
00:02:25,760 –> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: ever take for granted winning your division, and the Chiefs

46
00:02:30,280 –> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: now second NFL history with nine consecutive division titles, and

47
00:02:34,680 –> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: you have brought it all to life with your collection,

48
00:02:37,160 –> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: sure have.

49
00:02:37,960 –> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: So this is the hat collection we always talk about.

50
00:02:40,200 –> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: There are nine division title hats in front of us now,

51
00:02:42,880 –> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: four conference champion hats, and three Super Bowl champion hats.

52
00:02:46,320 –> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: And you might think we’re bragging by doing this or not.

53
00:02:49,240 –> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: This is meant for perspective. So when I was an

54
00:02:52,360 –> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: intern with the Chiefs back in twenty sixteen, I grew

55
00:02:54,800 –> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: up in Kansas City, I could not believe I was

56
00:02:56,600 –> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: interning with my favorite football team. And I didn’t really

57
00:02:58,960 –> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: do anything glamorous, was just transcribing hours on end. But

58
00:03:02,840 –> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: after the Chiefs won the division in twenty sixteen, when

59
00:03:05,240 –> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: the streak began, every staff member, including all interns and seasonals,

60
00:03:10,120 –> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: get gear. And I got this hat back in twenty sixteen,

61
00:03:13,440 –> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: and I was so happy about it. Thought it was

62
00:03:15,600 –> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: so cool. The Chiefs won the division and I got

63
00:03:18,040 –> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: a free hat from my favorite football team, and I

64
00:03:20,320 –> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: hung on to it and I thought, I’m never going

65
00:03:21,760 –> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 2: to get rid of this. This is so cool that

66
00:03:23,480 –> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: they gave me this. Well, I got hired full time

67
00:03:26,040 –> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: by the Chiefs the following year, and of course he

68
00:03:27,880 –> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: won the division in twenty seventeen. That hats up here

69
00:03:30,560 –> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: somewhere probably down there.

70
00:03:31,720 –> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, where is that one? Because that one’s got special.

71
00:03:33,919 –> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: Mean, I think it’s underneath this first super Bowl on

72
00:03:37,120 –> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: this is it?

73
00:03:37,800 –> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Is that it? Yeah?

74
00:03:38,480 –> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: So that’s the twenty seventeen hat, and I was like,

75
00:03:40,960 –> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: this is cool. Now I have a collection. I have

76
00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: two right. Well, the next year, in twenty eighteen, got

77
00:03:46,040 –> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: a third hat, and I started taking a photo of

78
00:03:48,520 –> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: it and like posting it on Twitter. So in twenty

79
00:03:51,400 –> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: seventeen or twenty eighteen, posted a photo of my three

80
00:03:55,000 –> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: division championship hats and I’ll never forget this. A fan

81
00:03:59,120 –> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: of another team who I will not say what team

82
00:04:01,760 –> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 2: it is, but they thought my collection was silly and

83
00:04:06,520 –> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: posted a photo of their team’s Lombardi trophies, which there

84
00:04:09,240 –> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: were three of them, and they said, cute hat collection.

85
00:04:13,240 –> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Here’s a real collection talking about Lombardi trophies for their team.

86
00:04:17,000 –> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: Well to you, I raise you sixteen hats now that

87
00:04:20,279 –> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: the hack collection has grown into and well we’re averaging

88
00:04:23,720 –> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 2: one point seven hats per year, with two more hats

89
00:04:26,080 –> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: hopefully to get this year.

90
00:04:27,279 –> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: And for Lombardi trophies.

91
00:04:28,600 –> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: For Lombardi trophies more yep, so we now have more

92
00:04:32,400 –> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 2: Lombardi’s than the original poster. So just saying here is

93
00:04:36,600 –> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: our what we’ve done in the time since. Again, though

94
00:04:39,120 –> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: not meant to brag, this is meant for a perspective.

95
00:04:41,839 –> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: Many sports fans will go their whole life and never

96
00:04:44,120 –> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: see anything like this, and it’s so important for us,

97
00:04:46,760 –> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: and we’re right there with everyone, like at the end

98
00:04:48,600 –> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: of these stressful games, like I wish we won by more. Well,

99
00:04:51,800 –> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: remember that our team in our lifetime when we can

100
00:04:54,920 –> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: appreciate it, is doing this and we’re not stopping. So

101
00:04:58,880 –> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: got to enjoy it.

102
00:05:00,080 –> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Have you heard from that poster?

103
00:05:01,560 –> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: Have not heard from them, Not sure what happened to them,

104
00:05:03,920 –> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: but anyway.

105
00:05:04,760 –> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: Way to go? Or hey, you now have four Lombardies

106
00:05:07,440 –> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: to our three, and you have all these hats that

107
00:05:09,120 –> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: we don’t have.

108
00:05:09,680 –> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: These hats, you know they were really eager to go

109
00:05:11,600 –> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: after me when I had only three hats, and when

110
00:05:13,440 –> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: you have sixteen, they don’t seem to post anymore. I

111
00:05:15,480 –> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: don’t know what happened.

112
00:05:16,839 –> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: You’re back to back to back post there because we

113
00:05:19,480 –> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: were thinking it was so cool to win back to

114
00:05:21,120 –> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: back to back, but this one the first ever back

115
00:05:23,880 –> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: to back. This team lost six out of seven games. Yeah,

116
00:05:28,279 –> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: they had to win four straight at the end to

117
00:05:30,080 –> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: win the division. I remember it was a cold day

118
00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: against Miami and Tom Holly just went into the Chief

119
00:05:37,360 –> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Ring of Honor. He only played several games that year.

120
00:05:40,400 –> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: He came back from an injury to play in that

121
00:05:42,880 –> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: game and help wrap up that back to back division championship.

122
00:05:46,839 –> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: So this hat, I mean, all of these hats have

123
00:05:50,880 –> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: special meetings, but this one to win those the first

124
00:05:54,160 –> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: one back to back was something else. And I remember

125
00:05:57,720 –> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: that day beating Miami doing our Chiefs rewind show and

126
00:06:03,200 –> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: thinking this is really cool.

127
00:06:04,920 –> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: It’s easy to look back at all this and to think, Okay,

128
00:06:07,760 –> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: we have nine in a row and the Super Bowls

129
00:06:09,680 –> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: and everything and think that it’s been easy. But every

130
00:06:12,800 –> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: single one of these seasons had its own dose of

131
00:06:15,400 –> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: adversity of things that happened, and think about all the

132
00:06:18,600 –> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 2: different players that have come through. Here a trivia question

133
00:06:21,760 –> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 2: for you while we’re talking about it. Do you know

134
00:06:23,200 –> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: the three guys that have been on every single one

135
00:06:25,000 –> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: of these.

136
00:06:25,240 –> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 1: Teams on all the sixteen, all the way back, all

137
00:06:29,080 –> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: nine teams.

138
00:06:29,800 –> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 2: All nine teams. Yeah, three guys. Chris Jones yep. Travis

139
00:06:33,240 –> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: Kelcey yep. This is a fun one.

140
00:06:36,800 –> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: The sixteen on the still in the team. It wasn’t,

141
00:06:39,680 –> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: but he came in seventeen close to James Winchester.

142
00:06:42,720 –> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: James Winchester. So James Winchester, Yeah, James Winchester, Chris Jones

143
00:06:46,800 –> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: and Travis Kelcey have been a part of all of these,

144
00:06:49,760 –> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: but every other player has come and gone and it’s

145
00:06:53,480 –> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: been a matter of sustaining the success. It’s the hardest

146
00:06:56,240 –> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: thing to do. And speaking of that, when I was

147
00:06:58,600 –> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 2: walking down to the studio with all these hats, which

148
00:07:01,960 –> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: you look very ridiculous when you’re carrying sixteen hats, I

149
00:07:04,160 –> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: guess who I ran into? Brett Veach is he Brett

150
00:07:07,360 –> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: And He’s like, what are you carrying? And I’m like,

151
00:07:09,440 –> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: these are our sixteen championship hats over the last nine years.

152
00:07:12,560 –> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: And his expression was hilarious. He’s like, oh cool. And

153
00:07:16,040 –> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: I looked at him and I was like, you’re the

154
00:07:17,760 –> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: reason we have these, thank you. And he’s like, but yeah, yeah,

155
00:07:20,800 –> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: just no big deal. Always looking forward to the next thing.

156
00:07:23,600 –> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: But yeah, just God of enjoy it, everybody. I mean,

157
00:07:26,120 –> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 2: how cool is this? I thought it was so awesome

158
00:07:27,880 –> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: when the Chiefs had one of these and that we

159
00:07:30,080 –> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: won the division and to have all these now, I

160
00:07:33,120 –> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: don’t take it for granted. So nobody should you know?

161
00:07:35,520 –> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: Who else has all these? Who is my dad? He’s

162
00:07:38,480 –> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: got one, but he likes to put on Now, he’s

163
00:07:41,280 –> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: gonna get the canw I gotta get him the new one.

164
00:07:43,320 –> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: But he’ll put on the side eight consecutive, seven consecutives

165
00:07:46,880 –> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: six awesome. So he’s gonna put nine consecutive on it.

166
00:07:49,600 –> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Where’s it around my ninety two year old dad? So

167
00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: he can’t wait to get the new division championship hat

168
00:07:55,200 –> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: and put nine consecutive on it.

169
00:07:57,760 –> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: So it’s right here, that’s what it is.

170
00:08:00,680 –> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: We’re going to get it to you as you have

171
00:08:02,120 –> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: it for the holidays and for Christmas. But I feel

172
00:08:05,280 –> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: like Coach Reid would be over my shoulder and you

173
00:08:07,400 –> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: just said that, Hey, Brett Veach is looking on moving

174
00:08:10,800 –> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: on to the next thing, and the next thing is

175
00:08:12,440 –> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: to check the box. That’s the theme of this episode

176
00:08:15,800 –> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom checked check the next box. And

177
00:08:20,040 –> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: by the way, in just a few minutes, we are

178
00:08:22,520 –> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: going to hear from the Chiefs All Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie.

179
00:08:27,800 –> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: He gives us some really interesting perspective, not just on

180
00:08:32,000 –> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: all this, but where the Chiefs are right now with

181
00:08:35,120 –> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: this defense, especially going into a game against the Cleveland Browns,

182
00:08:38,520 –> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: which have been one of the most explosive offensive teams,

183
00:08:41,679 –> 00:08:44,199
Speaker 1: even defensively in some ways, but offensively one of the

184
00:08:44,240 –> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: more explosive teams in the NFL over the past five

185
00:08:46,720 –> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: to six weeks. So we’re going to hear from Deuce

186
00:08:49,440 –> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Deuce here very shortly. But before we do all that,

187
00:08:52,760 –> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: we are moving on try to check the next box,

188
00:08:55,280 –> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: which is get the buy in the AFC twenty twenty

189
00:08:58,800 –> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: one changed everything we’ve said it all along. When twenty

190
00:09:02,360 –> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: twenty one happened, they said seven teams will be in

191
00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 1: the playoffs. That means one team will get a bye,

192
00:09:07,080 –> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: not two one, and that has made every game feel

193
00:09:11,320 –> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: like a playoff game since the beginning of the twenty

194
00:09:13,720 –> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: twenty one season. But to get us in the right mood,

195
00:09:16,920 –> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: let’s jump in our space station and travel around the

196
00:09:20,080 –> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: world with our nine consecutive AFC West titles.

197
00:09:22,679 –> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: And before we fully move on, kind of hit you

198
00:09:24,559 –> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: with one more division title trivia factoid. Yeah, so this

199
00:09:28,720 –> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: is kind of interesting. This is the earliest that we’ve

200
00:09:31,400 –> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: clinched the division during this run. And we’ve clinched it

201
00:09:35,000 –> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 2: during Week fourteen a couple times in twenty nineteen and

202
00:09:37,440 –> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. But you just mentioned the onset of the

203
00:09:40,000 –> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: seventeenth game. So in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty clinched

204
00:09:44,120 –> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: it in Week fourteen. Both of those years only three

205
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: games were left in the regular season. To clench it

206
00:09:48,880 –> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: with four games left in the regular season is pretty crazy.

207
00:09:52,000 –> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 2: So in twenty sixteen took all the way into the

208
00:09:54,200 –> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: final week of the year. Twouse in seventeen was Week sixteen,

209
00:09:57,440 –> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: because in eighteen final week of the year I mentioned two.

210
00:10:00,120 –> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 2: In nineteen and twenty twenty, we’re both in week fourteen.

211
00:10:02,800 –> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one was Week sixteen, twenty twenty two Week

212
00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 2: fifteen with that crazy game against the Texans. Won’t forget

213
00:10:09,120 –> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: that one twenty twenty three was the final, or was

214
00:10:12,440 –> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: Week seventeen and then last or this year is Week

215
00:10:15,440 –> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: fourteen with four games left, so pretty crazy. Normally these

216
00:10:19,000 –> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 2: things have come down to the wire. I don’t know

217
00:10:20,760 –> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: if we remember it that way. Because you went all

218
00:10:23,080 –> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: these division titles in a row, you figure out we

219
00:10:24,800 –> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: probably just had it wrapped up in week twelve. Not

220
00:10:27,480 –> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: the case. It’s usually gone down to the wire. This

221
00:10:29,480 –> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: year we do it with four games left, So that’s

222
00:10:31,640 –> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 2: a big deal. Ready to go around the world. Let’s go,

223
00:10:34,600 –> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 2: all right, I got six a box six today for

224
00:10:36,960 –> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: no particular reason. Maybe Brian Cook picking off Jameis Winston

225
00:10:39,960 –> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: this weekend. Yeah, yeah, that’s my plan for a couple.

226
00:10:42,559 –> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: Pick sixes because our guests very soon, we’re all predicting

227
00:10:45,600 –> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: we’ll get his first interception. It’ll be a pick six

228
00:10:47,920 –> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: this weekend. It’s happening this Sunday. Yeah.

229
00:10:50,320 –> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 2: So I met Grant at the stadium on Sunday. I

230
00:10:52,640 –> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: was walking out of the elevator on the first floor.

231
00:10:54,760 –> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: He was walking into the elevator and flagged me down.

232
00:10:56,679 –> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: Thanks for saying hi, Grant. I’m sure I’ll see you again.

233
00:10:58,960 –> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: I can figure out where you’re from. I also met

234
00:11:01,320 –> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 2: Taylor and his daughter Ava from Gerard, Illinois at the game.

235
00:11:05,520 –> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 2: You ever been there?

236
00:11:06,400 –> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: Never have?

237
00:11:07,080 –> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 2: Okay? Well, they were on the front row, near the

238
00:11:09,880 –> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: end zone and near the tunnel, so they probably had

239
00:11:12,520 –> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: a great view of that final third down conversion, which

240
00:11:15,160 –> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: was awesome. By the way, We should talk about that later.

241
00:11:17,640 –> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 2: Grandma Penny is in Windsor, Missouri. Have you ever been

242
00:11:21,080 –> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 2: to Windsor?

243
00:11:21,800 –> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: I have not, but I want to someday. Well, I’ll

244
00:11:25,040 –> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: be there, Okay, I’m always coming to your house in Windsor.

245
00:11:27,760 –> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: We have a listener in Colorado. We have a listener

246
00:11:30,160 –> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: who wrote that their mom was from West Mineral, Kansas.

247
00:11:33,840 –> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: West Mineral Southeast Kansas. Yeah, small town, trying to think

248
00:11:38,520 –> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: Cherokee County, maybe right in there. Okay, so yeah, West Mineral.

249
00:11:42,320 –> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: Let’s there’s all these mines and stuff down there. You’ve

250
00:11:45,320 –> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: been to Big Brutus, yo. Yeah. When I was a kid,

251
00:11:47,440 –> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: we went to see Big Brutus.

252
00:11:49,960 –> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: I have thought about Big Brutish in a long time.

253
00:11:52,120 –> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: That’s the area. What’s in those mines?

254
00:11:55,080 –> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: Uh? And then George is in South Florida. Shout out

255
00:11:57,280 –> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: to you, George. That’s all I’ve got for today.

256
00:11:59,280 –> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: Perfect, Well, this week the Chiefs. The next step is

257
00:12:02,600 –> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: try to check the next box, which is try to

258
00:12:04,679 –> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: win the AFC single buy that’s available. We know what

259
00:12:09,600 –> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: it means. Last year did not win the bye, but

260
00:12:12,720 –> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: there was a pseudo buy with the fact that guys

261
00:12:15,480 –> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: could rest during Week eighteen. We saw what it meant

262
00:12:18,600 –> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. You remember the game against the Raiders.

263
00:12:22,360 –> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: When I walked on the field, I had tears in

264
00:12:24,120 –> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: my eyes because we’re getting ready to do field pass.

265
00:12:26,880 –> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: But I knew what that game meant if we could

266
00:12:28,800 –> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: win that game and seal the buy because it gave

267
00:12:32,720 –> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: First of all, half the field gets eliminated while you watch,

268
00:12:35,679 –> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: but secondly you get this recharge. And I think right

269
00:12:38,600 –> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: now for this team, this specific twenty twenty four Chiefs team,

270
00:12:42,480 –> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: because they have played most of them, a lot of

271
00:12:44,840 –> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: them seven years and six six in five, five and four.

272
00:12:49,280 –> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: We’re going to have our guest on soon. Trent McDuffie.

273
00:12:52,240 –> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: He’s played seven extra games in his career in his

274
00:12:56,960 –> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: first two NFL seasons. You think of Pat playing eighteen games,

275
00:13:01,960 –> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelce playing ten thousand, almost eight hundred snaps in

276
00:13:07,640 –> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 1: this run. A buy would be humongous for this team one,

277
00:13:12,240 –> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Mental rest, physical res too. Three would almost be like

278
00:13:15,800 –> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: another training camp because you’re gonna get some troops back

279
00:13:19,640 –> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: and further integrate guys that weren’t in training camp, like

280
00:13:22,520 –> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: the Sama JP Ryans and the DeAndre Hopkins.

281
00:13:25,160 –> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: You know what I will never forget about you is

282
00:13:27,240 –> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two, that Raiders game you’re talking about,

283
00:13:30,120 –> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: I was in the booth with you because I was

284
00:13:31,800 –> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: spotting you know that Jack Nicholson meme where he’s just

285
00:13:35,800 –> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: smiling and like, yeah, since going closer to his face.

286
00:13:39,040 –> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 2: So right when the Chiefs won that game, Mitch and

287
00:13:41,960 –> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: I are kind of getting our stuff ready and then

288
00:13:43,520 –> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: he looks at me with that expression goes, We’ve got

289
00:13:46,800 –> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: a chance at the whole enchilada and starts not in

290
00:13:50,480 –> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 2: his head, And what do you know? He won the

291
00:13:51,640 –> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: super Bowl that year and the following year as well. Yeah,

292
00:13:54,520 –> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: I’m with you. Only thirteen teams have ever won the

293
00:13:57,080 –> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: Super Bowl playing four games. Think about that. So if

294
00:14:00,440 –> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: you play on wild Card weekend, your chances of winning

295
00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl are low just because you have to

296
00:14:05,360 –> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: go through a whole other game against a good team.

297
00:14:07,440 –> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: You have the risk of injury. All this stuff, the

298
00:14:09,679 –> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs are one of those teams doing it last year.

299
00:14:11,720 –> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: But it’s difficult. I mean, I don’t think any of

300
00:14:13,360 –> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: us look at last year’s Super Bowl run and think, wow,

301
00:14:15,640 –> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: that was easy. I mean it was one of the

302
00:14:17,280 –> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: toughest runs of all time. The Chiefs accomplished it, but

303
00:14:20,000 –> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: it doesn’t mean the road has to be that difficult

304
00:14:22,000 –> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 2: this year. So yeah, getting the buy is a huge deal.

305
00:14:25,080 –> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: Situation is very simple. If we win three o our

306
00:14:27,520 –> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 2: next four, no matter what else happens, we get that buy.

307
00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: Now there’s a possibility we could have it before the

308
00:14:33,240 –> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: Christmas Game if we get some help. So if the

309
00:14:35,880 –> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 2: Bills lose once and the Steelers lose once, only need

310
00:14:40,200 –> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: to win two of four. That means beat Cleveland, beat Houston,

311
00:14:43,080 –> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: don’t have to worry about the final two weeks of

312
00:14:44,560 –> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: the season. And it’s possible. I mean, the Bill’s good

313
00:14:47,120 –> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 2: at Detroit this weekend and the Steelers play at Philadelphia

314
00:14:50,360 –> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: this Sunday and then at Baltimore next week, So the

315
00:14:54,240 –> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: possibility is there. But we got to take care of

316
00:14:56,480 –> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 2: our own business. And I think Kachrie would be the

317
00:14:58,440 –> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: first to say doesn’t really matter when any one else does.

318
00:15:00,640 –> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: If we just win three or four. We get that

319
00:15:02,520 –> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: by so let’s just do that and.

320
00:15:04,160 –> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: You got to take what’s in front of you. It

321
00:15:06,040 –> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: is the maturity that I’ve seen in this football team

322
00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: for the last several years. It’s for sure since the

323
00:15:12,160 –> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: beginning of twenty twenty two. And it is the hallmark

324
00:15:15,120 –> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty two draft class that you and

325
00:15:17,240 –> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: I have talked about for years. So mature mentally and emotionally.

326
00:15:23,320 –> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: They will take what’s right in front of them and

327
00:15:25,640 –> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: deal with it with the immediacy and do it very well.

328
00:15:30,480 –> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: Exhibit A. And ironically number twenty two from the class

329
00:15:35,000 –> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: of twenty two is the Chiefs All Pro corner Trent McDuffie.

330
00:15:39,000 –> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: We had a chance to talk to him. The most

331
00:15:41,360 –> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: prestigious team award you can get is to be an

332
00:15:43,840 –> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: All Pro in the National Football League and our Pro

333
00:15:47,280 –> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: All our Pro first team corner, Trent McDuffie is with us. Now,

334
00:15:51,600 –> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: what a crazy year? Yeah, to win these games the

335
00:15:55,480 –> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: way we’re winning them. Give me your perspective on this

336
00:15:58,800 –> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: and why we’re able to beat twelve and one was

337
00:16:00,840 –> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: crazy wins?

338
00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think this is just a testament

339
00:16:04,080 –> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 3: to the team we have. You know, the locker room,

340
00:16:06,560 –> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: the group of guys that continue to just come in

341
00:16:09,640 –> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: each week and strive to get better, you know, and

342
00:16:12,480 –> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 3: when we go out to these games, we have a

343
00:16:14,080 –> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 3: standard that we’ve set being back to back champions, and

344
00:16:17,560 –> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 3: a lot of times we haven’t lived up to it.

345
00:16:19,320 –> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: So coming out of these games, you know, even though

346
00:16:20,880 –> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: we’re winning and we’re twelve and one, like, it hasn’t

347
00:16:24,760 –> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 3: been the best feeling.

348
00:16:25,800 –> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: You know.

349
00:16:26,040 –> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 3: It’s always been like dang, Like we didn’t hit that

350
00:16:28,200 –> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: mark exactly like we wanted. We didn’t play exactly how

351
00:16:30,280 –> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: we wanted it, and that kind of fuels you. You know,

352
00:16:32,720 –> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: it kind of feels you going into the next week

353
00:16:34,240 –> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 3: like Okay, yeah we won that, but let’s do better.

354
00:16:36,840 –> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 3: Like that’s always a mindset I feel like coming into

355
00:16:39,080 –> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 3: work is how are we going to get better?

356
00:16:40,680 –> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 4: How are we gonna get better? How are we going

357
00:16:41,880 –> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: to get better?

358
00:16:42,840 –> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: And that mentality is kind of just continue to allow

359
00:16:46,080 –> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 3: us to propel through these tight games. You know, when

360
00:16:49,440 –> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: Pat Mahome is to go down the last drive last

361
00:16:51,800 –> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 3: week and kill four and a half minutes off the

362
00:16:53,920 –> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: clock and win the game with the kick, like we

363
00:16:56,400 –> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: won in ways that I’ve never seen block punts. I mean,

364
00:16:59,240 –> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 3: walk off punt, like and the game crazy plays like

365
00:17:02,880 –> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 3: you can’t make it up. But each and every week,

366
00:17:05,440 –> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: guys come in and no one’s hanging their head down,

367
00:17:08,320 –> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 3: no one’s talking back to each other. It’s just all

368
00:17:10,480 –> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 3: love and all like, let’s just continue to get better.

369
00:17:13,200 –> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 4: And I love that.

370
00:17:14,320 –> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: So seven of our twelve wins this year have been

371
00:17:16,760 –> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 2: kind of in a walk off fashion. Yeah, I’m counting

372
00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:20,439
Speaker 2: the Raiders win as a walk off, even though there

373
00:17:20,480 –> 00:17:22,640
Speaker 2: was a few seconds left. It basically was yep, what’s

374
00:17:22,680 –> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: your favorite of the walk off wins this year?

375
00:17:24,600 –> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: If you Leo’s block, Yeah, that was like to this.

376
00:17:29,920 –> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: I mean people ask me like, oh, how was it.

377
00:17:31,800 –> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 3: I was on the sideline and he blocked it, and

378
00:17:34,480 –> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: I think I stood there for like twenty seconds and

379
00:17:36,680 –> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: just didn’t move.

380
00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: I was just like looking around like everybody celebrated. I’m like,

381
00:17:40,760 –> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 4: did this just happen?

382
00:17:41,840 –> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: Like it didn’t hit me, And when it finally did,

383
00:17:44,080 –> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: I was just like wow, Like that’s a lot to say.

384
00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you block a punt or a block of

385
00:17:48,880 –> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 3: field goal to win the game, something good on your side.

386
00:17:52,280 –> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: I was just looking for flags. I was like, surely

387
00:17:54,359 –> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 2: that isn’t how I was gonna end.

388
00:17:55,800 –> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 3: Like I heard the crowd, I didn’t even want to watch.

389
00:17:57,720 –> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: I heard the crowd erupt like I saw to play,

390
00:18:00,800 –> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: and I’m just like, there’s no way I’m never seeing

391
00:18:03,800 –> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 3: a team win in this fashion. And man, shout out

392
00:18:07,160 –> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: them boys. I mean, that’s just playing four quarters, tough, hard,

393
00:18:10,480 –> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: and never quitting.

394
00:18:11,960 –> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: I’ve told Matt this before. My favorite sound in football

395
00:18:14,800 –> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: is that thud of a block kick. And to get

396
00:18:18,200 –> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: it to be walk off was you know that sound

397
00:18:20,480 –> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: that wolf irreplaceable. There are guys that have played in

398
00:18:26,040 –> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: this league their whole career, Pro Football Hall of famers

399
00:18:28,840 –> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: that never won a playoff game. DJ Humphreys is on

400
00:18:31,480 –> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: this team now. He’s played in one. D Hop has

401
00:18:34,640 –> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: won two and they’re both wildcard. You’re part of one

402
00:18:37,840 –> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: of the favorite classes I have of all time, the

403
00:18:40,240 –> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: twenty two draft class that are seven and zero in

404
00:18:42,400 –> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And I said, as a precursor, because it

405
00:18:46,320 –> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: doesn’t seem like there’s any panic on either offense or

406
00:18:50,480 –> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: defense in any situation. Why is that? And is that

407
00:18:55,560 –> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: the case? Yeah?

408
00:18:56,560 –> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly, that is the case.

409
00:18:59,160 –> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: I think goes back to just the game that we’ve

410
00:19:01,440 –> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 3: been in, you know, going back to two three years ago,

411
00:19:04,720 –> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 3: even before I was here, Like, guys have been in

412
00:19:07,160 –> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: these situations before, and one thing that we’ve done is

413
00:19:10,400 –> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 3: learn from it. You know, we know what to expect,

414
00:19:13,760 –> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: We know how teams are gonna try to come at

415
00:19:15,800 –> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 3: us and attack us. And when you have that kind

416
00:19:18,920 –> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: of mindset and knowledge of what’s gonna come at you

417
00:19:21,960 –> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: in those situations, it gives you confidence and you know

418
00:19:25,400 –> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 3: that you don’t have to stress, you don’t have to

419
00:19:27,400 –> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: do anything out of the ordinary, like you can just

420
00:19:30,400 –> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: do you play the call and you should be good.

421
00:19:33,040 –> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: And man, since I’ve been here, just knowing who we

422
00:19:35,840 –> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 3: have at quarterback on the defense perspective.

423
00:19:39,000 –> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 4: Like why do I ever have to be nervous?

424
00:19:40,840 –> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 3: You know, like if we hold you to a field goal,

425
00:19:42,680 –> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 3: to be honest, like, man, y’all might have just lost

426
00:19:45,040 –> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: the game. Because I’ve seen Patrick Mahomes before I was

427
00:19:47,840 –> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 3: a Chief. While I was a Chief walk down that

428
00:19:50,240 –> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 3: field on multiple occasions bail the defense out and win games.

429
00:19:54,880 –> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 3: So when those situations come about, like the attitude around

430
00:19:58,600 –> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 3: the defense is just like get this ball back to patchrimme.

431
00:20:02,400 –> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: My favorite part of that, though, is when you mentioned

432
00:20:04,840 –> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: like the offense the defense bailing each other out. Yeah,

433
00:20:07,040 –> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 2: last week at the end, you guys worked in tandem

434
00:20:09,440 –> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: where the defense held the Chargers to a field goal

435
00:20:12,160 –> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: at the end, giving Patrick an opportunity to set up

436
00:20:14,640 –> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: the game winning field goal on our end. When you

437
00:20:17,160 –> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 2: have a game that ends like that against a divisional opponent,

438
00:20:19,960 –> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: a really good one that wins the division, what’s the

439
00:20:22,560 –> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 2: feeling like in the locker room, knowing like we just

440
00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: beat a really good team and it was a full

441
00:20:26,200 –> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: team effort.

442
00:20:26,960 –> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 4: Man, the energy was high, you know.

443
00:20:28,560 –> 00:20:30,479
Speaker 3: That was that was one of my favorite wins this

444
00:20:30,560 –> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: year because there’s a lot of hugs.

445
00:20:32,680 –> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: You know.

446
00:20:32,880 –> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: It was a hat T shirt game, of course, but

447
00:20:35,960 –> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: just a genuine energy and the love that we shared

448
00:20:39,040 –> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 3: with each other during that moment was special for me,

449
00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: you know.

450
00:20:41,640 –> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 4: And I’ve been, of course part of a lot of special.

451
00:20:43,760 –> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: Moments, but I think this is one of those games

452
00:20:46,240 –> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 3: I’m gonna remember, just because a lot of things happened,

453
00:20:48,600 –> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: like different dbs had to come to the game, different

454
00:20:50,600 –> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: receivers had to go in the game, Like we had

455
00:20:52,800 –> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 3: to stop I mean, we shut them out in the

456
00:20:55,040 –> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: first half. Second half, things fell apart. Offense came and

457
00:20:58,080 –> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: helped us out. Like so many things are happening, and

458
00:21:01,200 –> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 3: to come out and win the game like we did

459
00:21:03,440 –> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 3: and just be confident, everybody smiling and being like okay,

460
00:21:06,480 –> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 3: like we stamp that, like that’s the first block that

461
00:21:09,320 –> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: we had to do.

462
00:21:10,920 –> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 4: Now we continue to stack more. It was just a

463
00:21:13,000 –> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 4: great feeling.

464
00:21:14,400 –> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: That’d being sad. I want to ask you now, because

465
00:21:16,440 –> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: after that first half, it was like, all right, that’s

466
00:21:18,520 –> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: the twenty three chiefs stefense ye, but now to put

467
00:21:21,400 –> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: four quarters together? And I asked that under a precursor.

468
00:21:23,760 –> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: You’re playing now a team that has the ability to

469
00:21:26,400 –> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: attack the deep third, especially Jerry Judy. I mean, he’s

470
00:21:29,359 –> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: having a heck of a year. So how do you

471
00:21:31,119 –> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: get four quarters, protect the deep third and stay away

472
00:21:33,680 –> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: from the explosive deep play, especially to Judy.

473
00:21:36,160 –> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: Yep, Honestly, I think it comes back to practice, you know.

474
00:21:40,320 –> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Big shout out to Carson Wentz. I think I I’m

475
00:21:44,600 –> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 3: a huge fan of what he’s been able to do

476
00:21:46,600 –> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: for us this year. Man, during practice he makes all

477
00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 3: throws like there’s been games where I’m like, man, Carson Wentz,

478
00:21:52,880 –> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: the Loki like was a lot harder in practice than

479
00:21:55,560 –> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 3: it has been in the game, just based on the

480
00:21:57,320 –> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: athlete that he is, but yeah, putting together a great

481
00:22:01,280 –> 00:22:04,239
Speaker 3: week of practice where we know Carson’s gonna give us

482
00:22:04,240 –> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: balls that James would probably give us, working on the

483
00:22:07,359 –> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: deep shots, and just going back to the fundamentals of football.

484
00:22:10,280 –> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: You know, I think December is a great time where

485
00:22:12,680 –> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: you can only just hone in on the little techniques

486
00:22:14,800 –> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 3: that playing the long season and you’re hurting stuff kind

487
00:22:17,720 –> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 3: of can slip away with your tackling or just certain

488
00:22:20,600 –> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: things like that. Being able to just come back and

489
00:22:23,200 –> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 3: just play fundamental football and simplifying the things and saying, okay,

490
00:22:27,240 –> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 3: as long as we do this, do your job, like,

491
00:22:29,160 –> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 3: go out.

492
00:22:29,520 –> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: There and we’ll be fine. I think it’s the biggest

493
00:22:31,640 –> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 2: thing we can do. And on behalf of all of us.

494
00:22:33,680 –> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 2: Can you make sure Spag sends you on at least

495
00:22:35,400 –> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: two or three Sunday. You’re the best blitzing corner in

496
00:22:38,119 –> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 2: the NFL.

497
00:22:38,760 –> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 4: I loved it. I always tell j Reid.

498
00:22:40,720 –> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 3: I laugh all the time, Like when I blitz from

499
00:22:43,680 –> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 3: a quarterback’s perspective. Every time they see me, like usually

500
00:22:46,920 –> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: they don’t realize I’m coming, so it’s always like a

501
00:22:48,800 –> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: big shock, you know, I see their eyes light up.

502
00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 4: But like when I’m blitzing. I have the biggest smile.

503
00:22:54,400 –> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: As I’m running, like the biggest smile, and like I’ve

504
00:22:57,880 –> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 3: always wanted to get that picture, Like how crazy you

505
00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 3: do I look chasing you.

506
00:23:01,560 –> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 4: Just smiling like crazy.

507
00:23:03,359 –> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: Man.

508
00:23:03,720 –> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I joke with j Read all the time, like

509
00:23:05,640 –> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 3: you will know I’m blitzing because I’m just cheese and

510
00:23:07,720 –> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 3: like I’m so excited.

511
00:23:08,920 –> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 2: I want to see you smiling. And then Jamis squinting

512
00:23:11,440 –> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 2: at you. The a dB coming at me right now.

513
00:23:14,000 –> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: That’s all I love it.

514
00:23:15,560 –> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: We don’t have Super Bowl rings without your blootz. Man,

515
00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: I’ve been super Bowl fifty eight. It’s the most maybe

516
00:23:20,720 –> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: the most forgotten play that game.

517
00:23:22,440 –> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that’s one of those plays looking back now,

518
00:23:25,320 –> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 3: probably my favorite play of my career because the moment,

519
00:23:29,000 –> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: the timing, the fact that he called the blitz there,

520
00:23:31,680 –> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: Like people don’t realize we called a time out before,

521
00:23:34,840 –> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: changed the whole defense because Nick Bolton wanted to call

522
00:23:37,840 –> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 3: that play and just how things went about, you know,

523
00:23:40,840 –> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 3: and during that year, coach Bags was always talking about

524
00:23:43,680 –> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: get your hands up, get your hands up like their space,

525
00:23:46,080 –> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 3: get your hands up. Never know you can knock it down,

526
00:23:47,960 –> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 3: and those one of those moments where just quick reaction

527
00:23:50,359 –> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: like he was in the back of my head. Throw

528
00:23:52,000 –> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 3: your hands up, Trent, You’re not gonna You’re not gonna tackle.

529
00:23:54,440 –> 00:23:56,239
Speaker 3: Just throw your hands up, try to do anything you can.

530
00:23:56,320 –> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 3: And we blocked the ball. And yeah, that was just

531
00:23:58,840 –> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 3: a confidence boost for me. Like okay, like you here,

532
00:24:01,880 –> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 3: you reacted and you went out.

533
00:24:03,080 –> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: And execute it.

534
00:24:03,760 –> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 2: Think about the legendary things that happened after that, like

535
00:24:06,560 –> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: Pat hit and Kelsey for the big game. Instead of

536
00:24:08,520 –> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: the field goal, obviously, the game winning drive, the fourth

537
00:24:10,960 –> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 2: thousand Nicoles catch, none of that happens if you don’t

538
00:24:13,760 –> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: knock that ball down. We’re just counting on Moody to

539
00:24:15,720 –> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: miss the kick basically, if you don’t knock that ball down.

540
00:24:18,040 –> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: So thanks for doing that.

541
00:24:20,320 –> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: I got y’all always, I thank you my whole fan

542
00:24:24,200 –> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: the Old Kingdom. And you bet final question is getting

543
00:24:28,320 –> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: the swag back? Getting the swag back? Yeah, because let’s

544
00:24:31,920 –> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: just be honest. Ten giveaways, But how does this defense

545
00:24:36,280 –> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: get it swagged back? Starting this week with Cleveland?

546
00:24:38,680 –> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I think it is one. I

547
00:24:40,359 –> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 3: think it’s turnovers, You know what I mean. I think

548
00:24:42,359 –> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: we’ve gone a few weeks where we having a turnovers

549
00:24:45,280 –> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: and turnovers is huge. You know, it’s a momentum thing.

550
00:24:47,560 –> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 3: But also I think guys just need to let loose

551
00:24:50,440 –> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 3: and have fun, like I think we’re doing being so

552
00:24:53,119 –> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: dominant in that first charge is half after every play,

553
00:24:56,160 –> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 3: there’s energy. You guys are hype, Guys are having fun.

554
00:24:58,960 –> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: Guys were running over to each other across the sideline

555
00:25:01,800 –> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: and shout out Nico Roumisio, you know, first time playing

556
00:25:05,200 –> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: getting some punts and even if it was five yards

557
00:25:07,720 –> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 3: or ten yards, he was getting up turnt and the

558
00:25:09,720 –> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 3: whole sideline was jumping on him and all this. Like

559
00:25:13,080 –> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: when we’re at a best I can just see the

560
00:25:15,040 –> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: energy of the team.

561
00:25:15,880 –> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: It’s infectious.

562
00:25:16,800 –> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: You know.

563
00:25:17,040 –> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 3: We go out there as one and we’re just a

564
00:25:18,640 –> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 3: whole unit, so not worrying so much about like the score,

565
00:25:23,280 –> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: but just worrying about just being us and having fun

566
00:25:25,840 –> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 3: doing it. I think, is it gonna be the best

567
00:25:28,359 –> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 3: best way we can get our swag back, because the

568
00:25:30,440 –> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 3: swag is just us being dogs out there and just

569
00:25:33,000 –> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 3: flying around having fun.

570
00:25:34,640 –> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: Aren’t you glad he’s on our side? Yeah?

571
00:25:36,320 –> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 4: Sure?

572
00:25:37,240 –> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: All Pro, First Team, All Pro corner Trent McDuffie. There’s

573
00:25:42,600 –> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: a lot of guys on this team. Just like I

574
00:25:44,600 –> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: said at the end of the interview, I’m really glad

575
00:25:47,240 –> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: they’re on our side, aren’t you really glad Trent McDuffie

576
00:25:50,080 –> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: is on our team.

577
00:25:51,040 –> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: I’ve told the story so many times, but we do

578
00:25:53,040 –> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: our live stream for the first round of the draft

579
00:25:54,960 –> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: every year and I make all these notes and one

580
00:25:57,280 –> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: shooters and guys that we could potentially take and back

581
00:25:59,720 –> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 2: into the twenty two. He’s the very last one shooter

582
00:26:02,760 –> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: I made, and that was just because I had time

583
00:26:05,280 –> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: to kill because there was no way we were getting him.

584
00:26:07,359 –> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: He was going to be a top fifteen pick. There’s

585
00:26:09,080 –> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 2: no way Trent McDuffie falls all the way to us.

586
00:26:11,359 –> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: And what do you know, Trent McDuffie’s a Chief. He’s

587
00:26:13,320 –> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 2: a two time Super Bowl champion and going for a

588
00:26:15,280 –> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: third this year. That whole draft class was transcendent. I mean,

589
00:26:19,640 –> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: who knows what happens if we don’t get those players

590
00:26:22,320 –> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: in that draft, But it’s pretty cool when you’re thinking

591
00:26:25,000 –> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 2: about the story of the Chiefs in this dynasty, that

592
00:26:27,320 –> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: draft class is right in the middle of it.

593
00:26:29,160 –> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: Sure are seven to zero in the playoffs those guys

594
00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: collectively and McDuffie, strangely looking for his first interception. Why

595
00:26:37,800 –> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: do I feel how he’ll get it this week and

596
00:26:40,400 –> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: it may be a pick six. With all due respect

597
00:26:42,760 –> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston, who has made this game dangerous for

598
00:26:46,160 –> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. He has fourteen career pick sixes. Fourteen career

599
00:26:51,400 –> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: pick sixes, so we saw it kind of the epitome

600
00:26:54,600 –> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: was the game against Denver where he threw for nearly

601
00:26:57,240 –> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: five hundred yards and yet there were two pick sixes

602
00:26:59,720 –> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: in that game. But let’s just talk about where Cleveland

603
00:27:02,840 –> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: is dangerous and the Chiefs to check the next box

604
00:27:05,400 –> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: to try to get to the by. And you laid

605
00:27:07,640 –> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: it out with the scenario the Chiefs, if they can

606
00:27:10,720 –> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: win these next two games and if there’s one more

607
00:27:13,680 –> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: loss for the Bills and the Steelers, the Chiefs could

608
00:27:16,760 –> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: go to a Christmas Day game in Pittsburgh in a

609
00:27:19,359 –> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: short week with the bye. That would be the choice

610
00:27:24,160 –> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: I think of most Kingdom defenders. But let’s just get

611
00:27:27,720 –> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: into where Cleveland is dangerous, and we talked about it

612
00:27:30,119 –> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: with Trent that is the back third. Jerry Judy is

613
00:27:33,640 –> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 1: having a heck of a two months here. Ever since

614
00:27:36,600 –> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston became quarterback, they have become outstanding of the

615
00:27:41,359 –> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 1: top fifty pass catchers in the league in twenty twenty four,

616
00:27:45,040 –> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: his yards per catch is the best in the league.

617
00:27:49,000 –> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: He and if you look at even next gen stats,

618
00:27:51,880 –> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: there are several categories where there are three guys that

619
00:27:54,920 –> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: are listed justin Jefferson King, Jamar Chase Ding and Jerry

620
00:28:00,560 –> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy and Jamar Chase. So the only two players

621
00:28:03,240 –> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: in the league that have two seventy yard touchdowns. That’s it.

622
00:28:07,840 –> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy is super dangerous, especially with Jamis Winston at quarterback.

623
00:28:12,880 –> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: When looking at the Browns you probably kind of dealt

624
00:28:15,440 –> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: with this too. It’s they’re a difficult like study because

625
00:28:20,720 –> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: everything before week eight is totally different than week eight

626
00:28:23,920 –> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: to now, because the difference between Deshaun Watson and Jamis

627
00:28:26,840 –> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: Winston in terms of how the offense is operated is gigantic.

628
00:28:30,960 –> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: So since week eight, and you talked about this a

629
00:28:33,359 –> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 2: little bit already, they’ve piled up more than four hundred

630
00:28:36,440 –> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 2: yards of offense three times. They had five hundred and

631
00:28:38,920 –> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: fifty two total yards against the Broncos and that crazy

632
00:28:41,320 –> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: game that Denver ended up winning. They’re averaging three hundred

633
00:28:44,680 –> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: and eighty two yards per game since Week eight. That’s

634
00:28:47,120 –> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: third best in the NFL, and Judy since Week eight

635
00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: has six hundred and seventy eight receiving yards, second to

636
00:28:54,880 –> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 2: only Jamar Chase in the league. Now he had two

637
00:28:56,920 –> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five against Denver. That’ll certainly help, but

638
00:29:00,080 –> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: Dill he has been really, really good since Winston took over.

639
00:29:03,520 –> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 2: The odd thing, though, is they’re nineteenth in the league

640
00:29:05,560 –> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: in scoring in that time and the reason is turnovers.

641
00:29:08,840 –> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 2: They’re very up and down because of the turnovers. They

642
00:29:11,560 –> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: have thirteen turnovers since Jamis took over, most in the NFL,

643
00:29:15,160 –> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: and they have at least three turnovers and four of

644
00:29:17,120 –> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: his six games. So the key with the Browns is

645
00:29:20,240 –> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: they are going to fire the football. They’re going to

646
00:29:22,640 –> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: throw it downfield. They throw it the second most of

647
00:29:25,160 –> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: any team in the league since Week eight, forty three

648
00:29:28,240 –> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 2: times per game. Only the Bengals have more. But they’re

649
00:29:31,920 –> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 2: going to give you opportunities to turn them over. That’s

650
00:29:34,600 –> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: just kind of the game that they play. And the

651
00:29:36,760 –> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs defense doesn’t have a lot of takeaways this year,

652
00:29:39,360 –> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 2: so it’s good opportunity going against an offense that is

653
00:29:42,120 –> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: going to throw the ball a lot, maybe make some

654
00:29:44,240 –> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: contested throws, take the football away let’s get out of

655
00:29:47,160 –> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: Cleveland with a win.

656
00:29:48,440 –> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs only ten takeaways. It’s really kind of mysterious because

657
00:29:52,160 –> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: you look at who’s the only three teams below them,

658
00:29:54,760 –> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders, Jets, and Giants that have fewer takeaways. So

659
00:29:59,280 –> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: it’d be nice to get some in this game. But

660
00:30:01,040 –> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: let me tell you where else this team is dangerous.

661
00:30:03,760 –> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: They have gone for it on fourth down thirty four times,

662
00:30:08,320 –> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: six more than the next closest team. Why do I

663
00:30:11,240 –> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: say it’s dangerous because they’ve converted twenty three of those

664
00:30:14,760 –> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: thirty four fourth down attempts. Those attempts aren’t necessarily Nick

665
00:30:19,760 –> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: Chubb plunges into the line, they’re the throws that you’re

666
00:30:22,760 –> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: talking about. The Chiefs defense has to come into this

667
00:30:25,600 –> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: game looking for takeaways, but also thinking you’re going to

668
00:30:29,680 –> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: have to defend the deep third of the field more

669
00:30:31,920 –> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: than any team maybe we played this season, and you’re

670
00:30:35,360 –> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 1: going to have to play four down defense the entire day.

671
00:30:39,840 –> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: That’s the way that you’re going to have to have

672
00:30:41,440 –> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: the mentality coming into this game, because that’s the way

673
00:30:44,120 –> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: Cleveland will come in with guns blazing in that regard.

674
00:30:47,160 –> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: In Cleveland’s three and ten, but they have a much

675
00:30:49,400 –> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: different vibe around them than a three and ten team

676
00:30:52,200 –> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 2: because of Jamis. So look at their wins this year.

677
00:30:55,680 –> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: They beat the Ravens in Week eight with Winston, beat

678
00:30:58,120 –> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 2: the Steelers in week twelve, and that Snokelae game, nearly

679
00:31:01,440 –> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: beat the Broncos in the game we talked about, and almost,

680
00:31:04,400 –> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: I mean they were with the Steelers until the very

681
00:31:06,160 –> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 2: end last week. So they’re three to ten, but with Winston,

682
00:31:09,600 –> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: they don’t give up and they just keep firing. They

683
00:31:12,320 –> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: technically are eliminated from playoff contention now after losing to

684
00:31:15,000 –> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: the Steelers last week. They got nothing to lose, and Winston,

685
00:31:18,360 –> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: as far as he’s concerned, is trying to show that

686
00:31:20,920 –> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 2: he could be a starter in the NFL. So this

687
00:31:23,040 –> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: is a game for the Chiefs. You got to be

688
00:31:24,240 –> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: ready for now. I’m glad that we won last week

689
00:31:26,920 –> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: against the Chargers because things would have gotten really weird

690
00:31:29,720 –> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: with all the scenarios and permutations of the division and

691
00:31:32,600 –> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: the one seed and all that if we’d lost that game.

692
00:31:35,440 –> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 2: For the Chiefs, go into this game, play loose, you

693
00:31:37,800 –> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: won the division, Go take care of business against a

694
00:31:39,880 –> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 2: feisty team. But you can’t overlook these guys because of

695
00:31:43,040 –> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: their record. And the good news with our guys is

696
00:31:45,280 –> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: I don’t think they will. I think this is a

697
00:31:46,920 –> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 2: locker room that is focused on the task at hand,

698
00:31:50,280 –> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: and they know the importance of the one seed and

699
00:31:52,920 –> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: they know the Buffalo’s right there, So keep taking care

700
00:31:55,840 –> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: of business. Every single week. The biggest game of the

701
00:31:57,760 –> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 2: season is this week’s game. That’s the mental every single week.

702
00:32:01,000 –> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 2: And this week it’s Cleveland.

703
00:32:02,560 –> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: Not only is Buffalo right there, so is Pittsburgh. Yeah,

704
00:32:05,600 –> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: sneakily so here they are they Yep, here comes Mike

705
00:32:08,040 –> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: Tomlin once again. Another area well more, Jameis Winston. He

706
00:32:12,560 –> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: is fourth best in the NFL in past rating of

707
00:32:15,920 –> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty one plus air yards. It’s one twelve point one.

708
00:32:19,600 –> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: Those are passes at twenty one plus yards. So the

709
00:32:23,280 –> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: deep third is huge priority this week. Now let’s go

710
00:32:27,120 –> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: to the other side. Let me tell you another steaky

711
00:32:28,880 –> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: snat steaky sneaky stat that I look for that goes beyeah,

712
00:32:33,200 –> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: that goes beyond the obvious ones. We talk about the

713
00:32:36,120 –> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: twenty one giveaways. Right, there’s only think two three teams

714
00:32:39,400 –> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: that have more giveaways than the Browns. But but, but,

715
00:32:42,520 –> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: but this is where they’re dangerous. In those twenty one giveaways.

716
00:32:47,080 –> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: They have only given up fifty four giveaway points. That’s unusual.

717
00:32:52,040 –> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: So this defense, although they’ve given up big plays, is

718
00:32:56,440 –> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: a defense capable of taking a game or keeping a

719
00:33:01,560 –> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: game within striking distance where then they can get big plays.

720
00:33:05,680 –> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: Just like the games. You talked about snow Globe play

721
00:33:07,880 –> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: being one of them, so snow Globe game being one

722
00:33:11,080 –> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: of them. But and then Miles Garrett. We know about

723
00:33:14,880 –> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: him the fact that he is tied for second in

724
00:33:17,640 –> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: the NFL with eleven sacks another place where their dangerous Defensively,

725
00:33:22,120 –> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: They’ve only given up seven points this year on first

726
00:33:24,720 –> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: possessions of the opponent. That’s thirteen games, seven points in

727
00:33:29,840 –> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: thirteen opportunities for the opposing team to score in the

728
00:33:32,640 –> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: first possession. All of that tells me that this is

729
00:33:35,720 –> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: a dangerous team on both sides of.

730
00:33:37,320 –> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: The ball, and Miles Garrett is the key talking about

731
00:33:40,240 –> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: him fifty eight pressures this year as well, that’s fifth

732
00:33:43,000 –> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 2: most in the NFL. The Browns have the top pressure

733
00:33:45,960 –> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: rate of any team in the league at twenty seven

734
00:33:48,400 –> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: point seven percent. We’re shooting this on Tuesday. Not sure

735
00:33:51,840 –> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 2: who the left tackle is going to be in this

736
00:33:53,600 –> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: game for us, but you got to protect against these guys. Honestly,

737
00:33:57,040 –> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways, I think the quick passing

738
00:33:58,640 –> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 2: game that we showed at the end into the first

739
00:34:00,560 –> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: half and through the second half against the Chargers last

740
00:34:02,640 –> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: week could be a good formula in this game. Don’t

741
00:34:05,480 –> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: allow the Browns to direct the game plan with their

742
00:34:07,680 –> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: pass rush. Kind Of an interesting ying and yang thing

743
00:34:12,160 –> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: though in this game that I found is the Browns

744
00:34:15,080 –> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: have allowed fifty two runs of ten or more yards,

745
00:34:17,800 –> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: that’s fourth most in the NFL, and on those the

746
00:34:20,560 –> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 2: average distance is nineteen yards. But they’ve also forced a

747
00:34:25,200 –> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: league best seventy one negative runs. So they’re kind of

748
00:34:28,480 –> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 2: like a boom or bus defense where they’re gonna get sacks,

749
00:34:31,480 –> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 2: they’re gonna get negative plays, but then you can also

750
00:34:33,440 –> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 2: break off big plays against these guys. They’ve allowed sixty

751
00:34:36,280 –> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: four total plays of twenty or more yards, second most

752
00:34:38,680 –> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 2: of any team in the NFL. They’ve also allowed seven

753
00:34:41,600 –> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 2: scoring drives of four or fewer plays, third most in

754
00:34:44,719 –> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: the league. So Cleveland is interesting. They’re talented, they have

755
00:34:47,440 –> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 2: good players, they can force negative plays, negative runs, they

756
00:34:50,800 –> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: can sack the quarterback, and they have a great pressure rate.

757
00:34:53,440 –> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 2: But you can also get these guys for big plays

758
00:34:55,920 –> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: as well. So for the Chiefs in this game, we’ll

759
00:34:58,360 –> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 2: love to see the explosive passing game, maybe get going.

760
00:35:01,080 –> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes has talked about how he feels like it’s

761
00:35:03,560 –> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: this close weekend and week out. Could be a good

762
00:35:06,040 –> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 2: opportunity for that. And also Kareem Hunt returning back to Cleveland.

763
00:35:09,480 –> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 2: Maybe a few big runs for Kareem.

764
00:35:11,600 –> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: The other thing, Cleveland has the most offensive possessions in

765
00:35:15,320 –> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: the league. They have one hundred and fifty three offensive possessions.

766
00:35:19,280 –> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: It’s weird. There’s a lot of stuff here to try

767
00:35:22,360 –> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: to take in with the Cleveland Browns, but just know this,

768
00:35:24,360 –> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: they’re a dangerous opponent. But you have heard from Trent McDuffie.

769
00:35:28,160 –> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: Take the ball away. Those are big. That’s the reason

770
00:35:30,200 –> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: they’re three and ten. We just laid all that out.

771
00:35:32,680 –> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: But Matt, the Chiefs try to take care of business

772
00:35:35,480 –> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: in this game. It’ll be tougher than I think fans think,

773
00:35:38,560 –> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 1: but for the Chiefs, it’s a chance for the next
