‘E Squared=?’ – Chiefs Postseason Preview | Defending The Kingdom

1
00:00:00,360 –> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs are using their hard earned bye

2
00:00:03,440 –> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: week to get ready for the divisional playoff round, while

3
00:00:06,519 –> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the AFC and the rest of the

4
00:00:09,080 –> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 1: NFL Sands Detroit is slugging it out this weekend in

5
00:00:12,520 –> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: the wildcard round. But we go mathematical this week because

6
00:00:16,600 –> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: we present to you the equation this week on defending

7
00:00:19,280 –> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of E squared equals question mark as we

8
00:00:23,320 –> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: try to solve the unknown variable. It’s all brought to

9
00:00:26,239 –> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: you by Ticketmaster. Great to find them, know them, use

10
00:00:29,960 –> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: them for the playoffs. In the room, slings it Sider

11
00:00:34,680 –> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: into the end zone, Touchdown chanzas City harvery wan. I’m

12
00:00:39,520 –> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: Mitchelt’s voice of the Chiefs, along with senior team reporter

13
00:00:42,280 –> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: Matt McMullin, who survived the weekend in Denver with three

14
00:00:46,479 –> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: hours on the plane on the tarmac.

15
00:00:48,120 –> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 2: That noted you, right, I mean, it wasn’t that bad

16
00:00:50,479 –> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: though we’d unlimited food and unlimited movies. I think people

17
00:00:53,320 –> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: were feeling kind of bad for us. It’s like it

18
00:00:55,480 –> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: could be a lot worse.

19
00:00:56,840 –> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: Okay, you know, and then first time in thirty one

20
00:01:01,120 –> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: years to not be able to get home. So yeah,

21
00:01:03,360 –> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 1: I said, that was a new experience. The other one though,

22
00:01:05,560 –> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: the nine hours we had on the plane on the

23
00:01:07,640 –> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: tournament going to Detroit. One year where there weren’t unlimited movies,

24
00:01:11,560 –> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 1: there was one that we just watched over and over again.

25
00:01:14,240 –> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: What year was that, two thousand and seven or eight?

26
00:01:17,840 –> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: It’s a Herm Edwards year. I remember Jackie Battle was

27
00:01:20,200 –> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: our RB one and Detroit beat us like forty nine

28
00:01:23,680 –> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: thousand one.

29
00:01:25,120 –> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: Calvin Johnson had like five touchdown.

30
00:01:26,720 –> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He was just there showing fades to him.

31
00:01:28,720 –> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: We got to the hotel, I don’t know, one or

32
00:01:30,840 –> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: two o’clock. We were fresh as a days. He was great.

33
00:01:33,440 –> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: So yeah, Well, for those that don’t know how our

34
00:01:35,800 –> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: travel schedule works, we normally leave right after the game,

35
00:01:39,160 –> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: no matter what, even if it’s Sunday night football on

36
00:01:41,760 –> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: the East Coast. We get on the plane, we fly home,

37
00:01:43,880 –> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: get home late. Because of the weather in Kansas City,

38
00:01:46,160 –> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: we couldn’t do it. And it was a first for

39
00:01:47,800 –> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: me where people would ask me like, do you think

40
00:01:49,720 –> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: you’re coming home? And I’m like, yeah, we always do

41
00:01:51,920 –> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: no matter what, and couldn’t come home because of the

42
00:01:54,120 –> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: conditions in Kansas City and stayed in extra night in Denver.

43
00:01:56,640 –> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 2: It was weird, but yeah, we made it back. Felt

44
00:01:58,560 –> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: like we were there a long time.

45
00:02:00,840 –> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: I like what you said, we landed like we’ve been

46
00:02:02,920 –> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: gone like a week. It felt like, yeah, But now

47
00:02:06,800 –> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: we are in the bye week mode. But actually it’s

48
00:02:09,160 –> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: kind of the playoff preparation mode. Being around Andy Reid

49
00:02:12,639 –> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: and this football team, there is no waste of time.

50
00:02:14,840 –> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: We try to tell you that all throughout the year,

51
00:02:16,520 –> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: including this week, so the players had some midweek time off,

52
00:02:19,960 –> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: but it’s now skewing to get ready for any of

53
00:02:23,760 –> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 1: the four possibilities to play in the divisional playoff round.

54
00:02:26,560 –> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 1: But this episode, you know what we like to do

55
00:02:29,639 –> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: on defending the Kingdoms, kind of take you places which

56
00:02:32,600 –> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: you don’t normally go. We’re going to jump into some

57
00:02:35,000 –> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: of the fun facts about the experience of this twenty

58
00:02:38,639 –> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 1: twenty four Chiefs team going into January of twenty five

59
00:02:41,440 –> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and then some kind of increased energy

60
00:02:45,440 –> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: for this divisional playoff round in specific and just clue

61
00:02:49,080 –> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: you in why this game will be as exciting for

62
00:02:52,440 –> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: some guys on this roster as any game they’ve ever

63
00:02:55,720 –> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 1: played in the National Football League, including at least one

64
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: guy that will be going into the Pro Football Hall

65
00:03:00,200 –> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: of Fame. All right, So with all that set up,

66
00:03:03,200 –> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: it’s E squared equal question mark. You were great in mathematics.

67
00:03:08,160 –> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: Horrendous in mathematics. I like stats, like sports stats, but

68
00:03:12,400 –> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: anything else when it comes to math, I’m terrible at

69
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: I was okay.

70
00:03:15,320 –> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: And algebra I liked it, and I actually liked business

71
00:03:17,320 –> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: stats like I don’t know whys, but geometry.

72
00:03:21,400 –> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: Rough rough, But we’re trying to geometry.

73
00:03:24,280 –> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: Oh I actually passed on that one. Okay, yeah, I

74
00:03:28,120 –> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: had enough. So but we are looking to solve the

75
00:03:31,240 –> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: unknown variable here of E squared equals question mark. But

76
00:03:34,600 –> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: before we do that, you’ve had all the mathematical you’ve

77
00:03:37,960 –> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: checked all the algorithms, because we’re going to jump into

78
00:03:40,120 –> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: our Defending the Kingdom spaceship and go around the world

79
00:03:44,200 –> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: and check in.

80
00:03:45,080 –> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: Let’s do it. I have a ton today. We had

81
00:03:47,680 –> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: one of our most listened to episodes ever last week

82
00:03:51,400 –> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: just on YouTube aloone. We had like fifty thousand listens.

83
00:03:53,840 –> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Thanks everybody for listening.

84
00:03:55,880 –> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, we’ll stand by everything we said.

85
00:03:58,200 –> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: Even though it was a thirty eight, nothing lost to

86
00:03:59,760 –> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: thecos we’ll stand there and do it again. We’ve seen

87
00:04:02,640 –> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: too many instances of that thing going the other way.

88
00:04:04,640 –> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, it’s like coach reads that after

89
00:04:06,720 –> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: the game. The result is what it is. But it

90
00:04:09,240 –> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: was a great chance for players to go out there

91
00:04:10,920 –> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: and to play and show what they can do in

92
00:04:13,240 –> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: an individual sense. And who knows when the benefit of

93
00:04:17,800 –> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: that will happen. But like we talked about in last

94
00:04:19,560 –> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: week’s episode, we didn’t know what the benefits of that

95
00:04:23,240 –> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: Week eighteen game against the Chargers were going to be

96
00:04:25,560 –> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 2: until Chamari had to step in against the Bills a

97
00:04:27,520 –> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 2: few weeks later and almost a full year later, when

98
00:04:30,279 –> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: we saw Joe Tooney at left tackle and Mike Kellyando

99
00:04:32,720 –> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 2: at left guard. Who knows what’s going to happen here

100
00:04:34,760 –> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: over the next couple of weeks or maybe even a

101
00:04:37,040 –> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: year or two down the road. But there are things

102
00:04:39,200 –> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: that we can take out of that game. Maybe we

103
00:04:41,000 –> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: don’t know what they are just yet, but at some

104
00:04:43,160 –> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: point we’ll look back at that game, I think and

105
00:04:44,920 –> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: say that was important, even though we lost thirty eight

106
00:04:48,320 –> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: to nothing. The only Mikol.

107
00:04:50,000 –> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: Romihio comes to mind because that one, I mean, the

108
00:04:52,560 –> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: twenty some plus yard catch was big, and then I

109
00:04:56,360 –> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: thought Jayden Hicks. For the most part, we talked about

110
00:04:59,360 –> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: him being high lighted more of a role, kind of

111
00:05:01,400 –> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: like the Justin Reid roll. I thought there’s something that

112
00:05:04,040 –> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: could be extracted for that down.

113
00:05:05,920 –> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, there’s individual performances that will help this

114
00:05:09,240 –> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: team down the road. Just a few bummers in terms

115
00:05:11,480 –> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: of this season long and years long stats that we

116
00:05:14,279 –> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: love to keep, like we allowed more than thirty points

117
00:05:17,000 –> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: for the first time since Super Bowl fifty seven. That

118
00:05:19,960 –> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 2: was thirty seven games ago. We only allowed thirty to

119
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: the Bills. So more than thirty points. It’s been all

120
00:05:25,760 –> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: the way to the Chiefs and Eagles Super Bowl. Been

121
00:05:28,080 –> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: a very long time, and unfortunately, in the scope of history,

122
00:05:31,480 –> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: it’ll be forgotten that the starters didn’t play. I was

123
00:05:34,160 –> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: joking around with a few of my coworkers the other

124
00:05:37,040 –> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: day that someone might look back at this team and

125
00:05:39,240 –> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 2: hopefully we repeat and everything, and they’ll look at the

126
00:05:41,400 –> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: Week eighteen game and go, what happened? What the world happened.

127
00:05:44,880 –> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: It’s like, well, the starters didn’t play.

128
00:05:46,680 –> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: But well, and I mean, so, you know, I do

129
00:05:49,360 –> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: an interview with Art Haynes. Art Haynes is on the

130
00:05:52,120 –> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, studio desk with the Network and Arts going

131
00:05:54,680 –> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: worst loss to the Broncos. Ever, I’m going art. If

132
00:05:57,680 –> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: you’re going to put any historical context on that game, don’t.

133
00:06:01,080 –> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: All right, just put an asterisk by it and then

134
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: throw it away. But yeah, you’re right.

135
00:06:04,760 –> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: I thinks I’ll smoke coming out.

136
00:06:05,920 –> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: Of your ears. You heard me. I was not happy,

137
00:06:09,480 –> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: But it is what it is.

138
00:06:10,400 –> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: It’s football. You move on. Good for the Broncos. They’re

139
00:06:12,320 –> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs here for the first time

140
00:06:13,680 –> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: in a very long time, and we are going to

141
00:06:15,680 –> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: the divisional round once again. How many years in a

142
00:06:18,400 –> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: row is it now? It’s every year since twenty eighteen, right, yep,

143
00:06:21,120 –> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, I mean that’s something.

144
00:06:22,400 –> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: Again.

145
00:06:22,640 –> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 2: We talk about perspective a lot on this podcast. Can’t

146
00:06:25,560 –> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 2: lose sight of it that going to the divisional round

147
00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: this many years in a row is remarkable. And to

148
00:06:30,120 –> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: have this buy it’s like winning a game this weekend.

149
00:06:32,520 –> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: It’s like the Chiefs went out there and played somebody

150
00:06:34,320 –> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: this weekend and they won and we’re moving on and

151
00:06:36,920 –> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: there were no injuries. I mean, it’s really a great

152
00:06:39,360 –> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: situation to be in. So I just got to take

153
00:06:41,200 –> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 2: advantage of it.

154
00:06:42,279 –> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, lost in twenty seventeen in the wildcard to the Titans. Otherwise,

155
00:06:46,279 –> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen was a loss in the divisional playoff round

156
00:06:49,200 –> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: of the Steelers the hold Carl Cheffers not that I remember.

157
00:06:53,680 –> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: And then twenty fifteen won the wildcard game and lost

158
00:06:56,040 –> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: in the Divisional playoff round at New England. So you

159
00:06:58,800 –> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: can look at this thing all the way back to

160
00:07:00,360 –> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, only one year the Chiefs have not been

161
00:07:03,040 –> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: in the divisional playoff run.

162
00:07:04,960 –> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: I remember, back in twenty fifteen, my dad and I

163
00:07:07,360 –> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: when I graduated college. He wanted to surprise me with

164
00:07:09,960 –> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: a huge grand trip and he’d always wanted to go

165
00:07:12,680 –> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 2: to South America. So him and I went to South

166
00:07:14,760 –> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: America for a month, just bouncing around at little hotels

167
00:07:17,920 –> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: and everything for a month in South America. And it

168
00:07:20,880 –> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: was during that twenty fifteen playoff run, and I was

169
00:07:24,240 –> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: trying to find a place to watch the Chiefs and

170
00:07:26,680 –> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: Texans game in Buenos Aires, and I’m like, I’m not

171
00:07:29,560 –> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: going to miss this, Like I think the Chiefs might

172
00:07:31,120 –> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 2: win a playoff game for the first time that I

173
00:07:32,920 –> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 2: can remember, I’m not going to miss it. I found

174
00:07:35,280 –> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: the one place in Buenos Aires that was showing an

175
00:07:37,320 –> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: NFL game, because this is kind of before the NFL

176
00:07:40,200 –> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: exploded internationally and I found this one little place, small

177
00:07:45,200 –> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: huge did take just online, just scouring the internet.

178
00:07:49,440 –> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: Figuring out the NFL.

179
00:07:50,440 –> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have the NFL. And I went to it

180
00:07:52,760 –> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: and it was cool. It was kind of like a

181
00:07:53,960 –> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: little microcosm of what you normally see at international games,

182
00:07:56,680 –> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: where it was a bunch of people from different places,

183
00:07:59,160 –> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: all wearing jerseys different teams, sitting down to watch the

184
00:08:02,120 –> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: Chiefs and Texans play and they just want to talk

185
00:08:04,240 –> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: about American football and everything. And it was super cool.

186
00:08:06,760 –> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: And now to see how the league has grown overseas

187
00:08:09,720 –> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: in the years since, I mean, it’s pretty awesome. But anyway,

188
00:08:12,560 –> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: I digress.

189
00:08:13,120 –> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: We have a glorious thirty to I think win. I

190
00:08:14,920 –> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: should say so glorious. It was so awesome. It’s so awesome,

191
00:08:17,680 –> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: and first for the kid in twenty one years. You

192
00:08:19,680 –> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: don’t think I revel in that game.

193
00:08:22,440 –> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: That’s why we appreciate every single one of these no

194
00:08:25,160 –> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: matter what, I remember that feeling, what it felt like

195
00:08:27,240 –> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: just as a fan to watch the Chiefs win a

196
00:08:29,040 –> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: playoff game. And even though we’re going to talk about

197
00:08:31,800 –> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 2: on our podcast, all the experience our guys having the playoffs,

198
00:08:34,720 –> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: all these wins that they’ve had. You never take them

199
00:08:37,280 –> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: for granted because you never know when it’s going to end.

200
00:08:39,640 –> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: You’ll and you’ll never forget it because people are just

201
00:08:41,840 –> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: ripping off porkid Portuguese. Yeah, at the one bar in

202
00:08:46,440 –> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Buenos Ayres. That’s showing NFL football that it was. It

203
00:08:50,559 –> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: just adds to a cool experience.

204
00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: Cool. And I was jumping up and down and going crazy,

205
00:08:54,320 –> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: and I think they were kind of horrified. But when

206
00:08:55,960 –> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: Nile takes that kickoff back, I can’t contain myself. Okay,

207
00:08:59,040 –> 00:09:00,000

Speaker 2: Mikey is an Edgerton, Kansas went to North Platte High School.

314
00:13:29,640 –> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: In Nebraska, North Platt’s in or North Platte in Missouri.

315
00:13:34,000 –> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: For a second there, I was wondering if I wrote

316
00:13:35,400 –> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: this down wrong.

317
00:13:35,960 –> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: No, no, no, there’s so there’s North Platte, Missouri, which is

318
00:13:39,480 –> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 1: that dear Burn. Yeah, it’s on the way to Saint Joe.

319
00:13:41,800 –> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: You can’t. You go by it every time you go

320
00:13:43,480 –> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: by it, every time you go to Saint Joe.

321
00:13:44,760 –> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: So maybe he went to North Platte and then moved

322
00:13:46,600 –> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: to Edgerton.

323
00:13:47,160 –> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: Edgerton, which is a Gardener Edgerton Trailblazer six A champions.

324
00:13:50,280 –> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah so yes, so yeah, probably.

325
00:13:53,880 –> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 2: So My thought on Edgerton, what I always remember when

326
00:13:56,920 –> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: I think of Edgerton, Kansas is I went to Blue

327
00:13:59,080 –> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: Valley North High School and we were in the EKL

328
00:14:02,960 –> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: and we’d go out to play Gardner Edgerton and it

329
00:14:06,440 –> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 2: was like we’re transporting ourselves to West Texas out there,

330
00:14:10,280 –> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, And they had Bubba Starling at the time

331
00:14:13,000 –> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: Bubba ran for like five thousand yards against US. It

332
00:14:15,520 –> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 2: was something else.

333
00:14:16,440 –> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, that’s just such a blue valley thing. Go

334
00:14:20,560 –> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: to Ulysses and travel for a league game for two

335
00:14:22,720 –> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty miles. Yeah, in Western Kansas and they’re like,

336
00:14:25,720 –> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: oh my god, you’re going to Gardner Darton. You go

Speaker 2: Coming Well, it was like thirty five minutes. It’s like

339
00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:30,640

351
00:14:59,720 –> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: like that one. There’s like fifteen towns. Nobody goes to

352
00:15:02,840 –> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Chapman from Chapman. It’s town. This is a whole episode.

353
00:15:06,680 –> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: We’re going to burn it up if I but I

354
00:15:08,160 –> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: went through the fifteen towns and make up Chapman. It

355
00:15:12,560 –> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: was the first consolidated school in the state of Kansas.

356
00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 2: But really, yep, where is it?

357
00:15:17,520 –> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: Just west of Junction City, So where Fort Riley is

358
00:15:20,280 –> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: the post we’ve been on post right. Yeah, you just

359
00:15:22,440 –> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: go another ten minutes and there’s Chapman. Okay, interesting, but

360
00:15:25,640 –> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: Talmadge is always from Chapman, fighting out that school district.

361
00:15:28,440 –> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: You can go fifty miles for a prom day be

362
00:15:31,760 –> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: in the same school district.

363
00:15:32,680 –> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 2: I’m believable.

364
00:15:33,200 –> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you went from the north east side down

365
00:15:35,720 –> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: to the southwest side of that district, it would cover

366
00:15:37,640 –> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: almost sixty miles.

367
00:15:38,600 –> 00:15:41,200

402
00:17:05,600 –> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: like you’re good at football.

403
00:17:06,400 –> 00:17:10,159

00:17:20,800 –> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: the day before our game against the Texans. Caitlin is

408
00:17:24,080 –> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: a huge Chiefs fan. Caitlyn. We’re thinking of you, We’re

409
00:17:26,480 –> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: rooting for you. Sorry this happened, but hopefully the Chiefs

410
00:17:29,080 –> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 2: bring along some good vibes and some encouragement here over

411
00:17:31,680 –> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 2: the next few weeks. But I just wanted to say

412
00:17:33,520 –> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 2: hi to you, and we’re thinking of you.

413
00:17:35,359 –> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Prayers up, and also prayers for the folks in California.

414
00:17:38,359 –> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: These fires are brutal. You know, coaches from LA, we

415
00:17:43,119 –> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: both have a lot of folks from your sister lives

416
00:17:45,080 –> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: out there.

417
00:17:45,480 –> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: I was texting her right before our episode. Luckily it’s

418
00:17:47,680 –> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 2: not necessarily threatening exactly where she lives, but she sent

419
00:17:51,720 –> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: me some photos. It’s crazy. Have you seen the aerial photos.

420
00:17:55,119 –> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it’s just it’s heartbreaking. And anyway, prayers up, yeah

421
00:18:00,480 –> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: for our brothers and sisters in socow. Well, let’s jump

422
00:18:05,560 –> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: into a little bit of football, because E squared equals

423
00:18:08,359 –> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: question mark, and the first E is experience. I think

424
00:18:12,560 –> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: people have lost track of how experienced and positive playoff

425
00:18:16,760 –> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: experience the twenty twenty four Chiefs will take in to

426
00:18:19,920 –> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: next week’s divisional playoff game. Let me start this way.

427
00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: People forget last year the first back to back winner

428
00:18:26,000 –> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: in nine and forty four days. Put that on the

429
00:18:28,920 –> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: play by play, but it was the youngest team of

430
00:18:32,000 –> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: any of the nine back to back Super Bowl champions

431
00:18:34,480 –> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: in history to win back to back titles, the youngest team,

432
00:18:38,840 –> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: So that leads in to the playoff experience, the positive

433
00:18:42,160 –> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: play off experience this roster has. I’ll let you dig

434
00:18:45,359 –> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: in a little bit of the offense. I’ll give you

435
00:18:47,520 –> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: some astounding numbers of the defense. But playoff experience we

436
00:18:50,760 –> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: know isn’t the end all be all, but man is

437
00:18:54,119 –> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: it helpful. And some of these got much of this team.

438
00:18:57,760 –> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: Most of this team has had playoffs success that thousands

439
00:19:02,280 –> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: of NFL players, thousands of good NFL players, never got

440
00:19:06,680 –> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: to taste at all. And I’m reminded by a guy

441
00:19:09,200 –> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: like Tony Gonzalez one playoff win in seventeen seasons. Chris Carter,

442
00:19:13,920 –> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: I’m not sure had one, but anyway, there’s just but

443
00:19:17,119 –> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 1: this group is amazing. So I’ll let you start offensively,

444
00:19:19,440 –> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: because there’s some really cool numbers here. The first the

445
00:19:23,119 –> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: first piece of the E squared here is experience and

446
00:19:26,080 –> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 1: what’s the chiefs for taking in a next week’s game?

447
00:19:28,520 –> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just add how remarkable it is that

448
00:19:33,080 –> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: how often you have a team that is young that

449
00:19:35,720 –> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: wins the Super Bowl. Normally you have a team like

450
00:19:38,840 –> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: the twenty fifteen Broncos or the twenty twenty one Rams,

451
00:19:41,840 –> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: where you just go all in. You bring in a

452
00:19:43,960 –> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 2: bunch of veterans players maybe playing their last couple of seasons.

453
00:19:47,240 –> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: In the Broncos case, Peyton mannings last year, and you

454
00:19:50,480 –> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl and it’s great. But then it’s

455
00:19:52,119 –> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: difficult because after that the roster kind of craters. And

456
00:19:55,000 –> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 2: we’ve seen that with the Broncos. I mean them winning

457
00:19:57,359 –> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 2: that game against US last week and making the playoffs

458
00:19:59,800 –> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 2: was magnificant because, as you told me, it was the

459
00:20:02,400 –> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 2: longest streak for any Super Bowl champion of not making

460
00:20:05,200 –> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 2: the playoffs in NFL history. That kind of happens sometimes.

461
00:20:08,920 –> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 2: With the Chiefs being as young as they’ve been over

462
00:20:11,240 –> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 2: this championship run and being able to sustain it and

463
00:20:15,280 –> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: go after the Super Bowl every single year because your

464
00:20:17,560 –> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: players are young and your roster is young and still

465
00:20:19,880 –> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: hungry is pretty remarkable. So can’t lose sight of that.

466
00:20:22,960 –> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 2: But this is interesting.

467
00:20:23,920 –> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: Let me tag that again. Even if the Chiefs get

468
00:20:27,520 –> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, no team this won back to

469
00:20:29,720 –> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: back has ever gone to a chancefer a three pen

470
00:20:32,560 –> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 1: even made the Super Bowl. The closest the ninety San

471
00:20:35,160 –> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers had lost fifteen to thirteen to

472
00:20:37,520 –> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: the Giants in the NFC Championship Game. Other than that,

473
00:20:40,680 –> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: none of the back to backs even made it to

474
00:20:42,440 –> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 1: the championship game. And your point’s really good because the

475
00:20:45,240 –> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: sixties Packers, Lombardi goes on, he moves on, they get obliterated. Right,

476
00:20:50,680 –> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: we can sit there and look, now, the seventies Steelers

477
00:20:54,359 –> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: are different. They won two year off one two. But

478
00:20:56,920 –> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: the nineties Cowboys, we could go back through all these

479
00:20:59,119 –> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: back to backs and they hit a wall. Teams to old,

480
00:21:02,400 –> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: coach leaves, regime changes, and they blow up. So what

481
00:21:06,400 –> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: we’re living here is really.

482
00:21:08,119 –> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 2: Unique and it’s a testament to Brett Veach Amen because

483
00:21:11,000 –> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 2: there are how many players from the twenty nineteen Super

484
00:21:13,560 –> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: Bowl are still on this team?

485
00:21:14,880 –> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Would we say eight seven?

486
00:21:16,760 –> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 2: Small number, and they’re impact players, but you have to

487
00:21:20,560 –> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 2: refill the roster with young talent. And the league is

488
00:21:23,200 –> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 2: designed in such a way where teams that win are

489
00:21:25,280 –> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 2: not supposed to win consistently because if you win the

490
00:21:27,680 –> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, you have the last pick in the first

491
00:21:29,440 –> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: round of the draft. You’re probably paying players a lot

492
00:21:31,800 –> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: of money, so you don’t have a lot of salary

493
00:21:33,320 –> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 2: cap space. We talk about this on DTK all the

494
00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: time that the league is designed for parody and the

495
00:21:38,320 –> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: Chiefs are the antithesis of parody because we win every

496
00:21:41,400 –> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: single year and hopefully trying to win a third straight

497
00:21:43,320 –> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I’ll get to the offense. Sorry I’m rambling here,

498
00:21:46,560 –> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 2: but here’s a kind of a cool note from Taylor

499
00:21:48,960 –> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 2: Wit on Twitter. Taylor does some really good stuff. He

500
00:21:52,480 –> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 2: calculated all of this. The Chief’s roster has combined for

501
00:21:55,160 –> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: fifteen nine and sixty nine playoff snaps, easily the most

502
00:21:59,600 –> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: of any TA in the field this year, more than

503
00:22:01,920 –> 00:22:05,120
Speaker 2: six thousand ahead of second place Buffalo and the gap

504
00:22:05,119 –> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: between the Chiefs and Buffalo is wider than the gap

505
00:22:08,240 –> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: between Buffalo and thirteenth place Green Bay. Almost every player

506
00:22:12,960 –> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: on this roster has played or started a playoff game.

507
00:22:15,920 –> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: That experience is important because when the lights are bright

508
00:22:19,800 –> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: and things are a little bit faster and it’s winner

509
00:22:21,640 –> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: go home, just a little bit of a different game,

510
00:22:24,200 –> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 2: and our guys have experienced with it, none more than

511
00:22:26,960 –> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, who has eighteen career playoff starts under his belt.

512
00:22:31,720 –> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: It’s tied with Dan Marino and Drew Brees for the

513
00:22:34,160 –> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 2: ninth most in NFL history. He’s twenty nine years old.

514
00:22:38,119 –> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: For context, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, C J. Stroud, Justin Herbert,

515
00:22:42,080 –> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: and Bo Nicks, who’s of course a rookie, have started

516
00:22:44,320 –> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: nineteen playoff games combined in their careers. Russell Wilson, to

517
00:22:48,760 –> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: his credit, has started sixteen. But I mean Mahomes having

518
00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: eighteen career playoff starts is crazy. He fifteen career playoff

519
00:22:56,520 –> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: wins at quarterback as a starting quarterback. That’s third most

520
00:22:59,440 –> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: in NFL history. Tom Brady has thirty five, Joe Montana

521
00:23:03,080 –> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 2: has sixteen, Patrick has fifteen. So if we can win

522
00:23:06,560 –> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 2: this divisional round, matchup, Patrick will tie Joe Montana for

523
00:23:10,240 –> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 2: the most playoff wins by starting quarterback of all time.

524
00:23:12,880 –> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 2: And then Travis Kelce already has the most catches in

525
00:23:15,600 –> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 2: NFL postseason history, and he’s three hundred and forty two

526
00:23:18,560 –> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: yards behind Jerry Rice for most all time and three

527
00:23:22,320 –> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: touchdowns behind Rice for most all time. So this playoff

528
00:23:26,880 –> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: run for more reasons than one, could be historic, could

529
00:23:30,320 –> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 2: be legendary, could be epic, And I mean, I’m so

530
00:23:34,640 –> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: glad that we have these guys on our side. We’ve experienced,

531
00:23:37,840 –> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 2: we’ve experienced in big games, and Patrick Mahomes, no one

532
00:23:41,680 –> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: has ever done this before. I know, Tom Brady has

533
00:23:44,119 –> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: thirty five wins. He played a long time, got a

534
00:23:46,840 –> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: lot of playoff wins, a lot of Super Bowl wins.

535
00:23:48,520 –> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: But to start a career like this is crazy. And

536
00:23:52,920 –> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 2: as we’ll talk about later, no one’s hungrier for this

537
00:23:54,960 –> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: one than Patrick.

538
00:23:55,960 –> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 1: No, and kels another one. He has one hundred and

539
00:23:58,920 –> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: sixty five playoff rerecsceptions. That’s the most an NFL history

540
00:24:02,240 –> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: of any pass catcher. So, and the ones that you

541
00:24:05,280 –> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: gave are past catchers were not just tight ends. This

542
00:24:08,160 –> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: includes Jerry Rice and everybody else that played in the postseason.

543
00:24:12,040 –> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: What is crazy The offensive skill guys I’ll throw in

544
00:24:16,200 –> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: who are on this roster for the most part, seventy

545
00:24:20,080 –> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: five and thirteen. The offensive line gets your attention because

546
00:24:23,320 –> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 1: the offensive line collectively, the eleven humans on this roster

547
00:24:27,240 –> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: right now in the playoffs are forty four and six

548
00:24:31,440 –> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Now, those six losses include Joe Tooney’s

549
00:24:37,240 –> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: three that he had before he got here, okay, and

550
00:24:40,240 –> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: then one actually from Marlin two below two when he

551
00:24:44,520 –> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: was with the Eagles when you look at it, and

552
00:24:47,080 –> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: then one from Juwan Taylor when he was with the

553
00:24:49,880 –> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. You’re sifting these guys have like two playoff

554
00:24:54,200 –> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: losses as.

555
00:24:55,440 –> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 2: A Chief, and that Juwan’s was to us, right, Yeah,

556
00:24:58,520 –> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 2: so many of these are yeah yeah, so yeah.

557
00:25:01,760 –> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: It’s a good point because it gets really fun on

558
00:25:04,160 –> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: the defensive side. So let’s transition to the defense. So

559
00:25:06,520 –> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: you get an idea playoff experience in many ways unprecedented

560
00:25:11,920 –> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs, at least this young of

561
00:25:13,880 –> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: a roster. Okay. Now, Defensively, the dbs collectively, of the

562
00:25:20,400 –> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: ninetyb’s that are currently on the roster, they are thirty

563
00:25:23,359 –> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 1: nine and two in the playoffs. Oh my gosh, the

564
00:25:25,480 –> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: only two losses are to Justin Reid, and those two

565
00:25:28,640 –> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: are with the Houston Texans. One does one does, So

566
00:25:33,960 –> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: that gives you an idea of just the DBS. So

567
00:25:36,240 –> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: we get into more here, but again, playoff experience, winning

568
00:25:40,280 –> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: playoff experience. Young guys with winning playoff experience in many

569
00:25:44,160 –> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: ways is unprecedented NFL history.

570
00:25:46,080 –> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: And not to belabor the perspective point, but I love

571
00:25:49,359 –> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: talking to guys like Justin and to Drew Trankwell who

572
00:25:52,240 –> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 2: have had playoff defeats, devastating playoff defeats, and you could

573
00:25:57,480 –> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 2: see it in their eye how much it means to

574
00:25:59,760 –> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: them to be a part of this, to be a

575
00:26:01,080 –> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: part of the winning and to be a contributor to

576
00:26:03,320 –> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: the winning. And Justin such a champion of that, like

577
00:26:05,960 –> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: Justin knows how it feels to lose a playoff game,

578
00:26:08,840 –> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 2: to lose a playoff game that you led by a lot,

579
00:26:11,480 –> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 2: and he knows how hard it is to get to

580
00:26:12,920 –> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 2: that moment. And that’s why to have a player like

581
00:26:15,359 –> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: that leading our defense, and the same thing with Drew,

582
00:26:17,800 –> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: one of the leaders in the linebacker room, to have

583
00:26:20,040 –> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 2: that experience elsewhere and to come here with that perspective

584
00:26:22,680 –> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: and to be like, I’m a part of this. I’m

585
00:26:24,320 –> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: going to find a way to win this game. It’s

586
00:26:26,560 –> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: just really cool and it helps me realize that it’s

587
00:26:30,080 –> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 2: not like this everywhere, and I think we all need

588
00:26:32,160 –> 00:26:34,239
Speaker 2: to remember that, and that these guys that come from

589
00:26:34,280 –> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: other teams, they know that, and they are the happiest

590
00:26:36,920 –> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: guys in the world. To be a part of this winning,

591
00:26:38,400 –> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: it’s pretty cool.

592
00:26:39,240 –> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: I’ve told the Carlos Dunlap story many times. He had

593
00:26:42,560 –> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: won twelve years and not won a playoff game, and

594
00:26:44,960 –> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: we won that game in twenty two in the divisional round.

595
00:26:48,160 –> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: And I found him first after we were done with

596
00:26:51,119 –> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 1: Chase Rewind. I put a B line to find that dude.

597
00:26:54,160 –> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: I knew what it meant to him because we talk

598
00:26:55,480 –> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: about that glorious game you watched in Argentina. Argentina years

599
00:27:00,280 –> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: to go without a playoff win. But here’s more so,

600
00:27:03,040 –> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: the linebackers when you look at it, are twenty one

601
00:27:06,359 –> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: and three, and two of those three with other teams.

602
00:27:09,119 –> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: Bolts got the only one where he lost to Cincinnati.

603
00:27:12,440 –> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: The other two are Tranquils. You got one there and

604
00:27:16,480 –> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: then Joshua ushe lost one with New England to Buffalo. Yeah,

605
00:27:21,920 –> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: and then on the defensive line, there’s seventy six and nineteen,

606
00:27:24,760 –> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: but that includes Chris Jones who’s fourteen and five and

607
00:27:28,880 –> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: some of those he’s been with us now, going way

608
00:27:31,600 –> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen. So the sixteen and seventeen loss

609
00:27:34,280 –> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: he had and the eighteen loss in New England that

610
00:27:36,520 –> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: we talked about, but now we’re going to transition all

611
00:27:39,040 –> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: the experience. That’s the first part of East Squared equals

612
00:27:41,960 –> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 1: question Mark as we try to solve the unknown variable

613
00:27:45,240 –> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 1: next week and trying to win the divisional playoff game.

614
00:27:47,400 –> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: And you kind of open the door to this because

615
00:27:49,560 –> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: of what this means to players who have been in

616
00:27:51,640 –> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: the league a while, and it’s the Carlos Dunlap feeling.

617
00:27:56,640 –> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: And again, personally, I felt the same thing waiting twenty

618
00:27:59,400 –> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: one years for a playoff win. Consider DeAndre Hopkins. DeAndre

619
00:28:03,880 –> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: Hopkins will go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

620
00:28:06,080 –> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: This is his thirteenth season in the NFL. He has

621
00:28:10,760 –> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: two playoff wins, both in the wildcard round. Let’s start there.

622
00:28:15,160 –> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins has never won in the divisional playoff round. Never.

623
00:28:20,040 –> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: His last playoff game was in twenty nineteen DeAndre Hopkins,

624
00:28:25,280 –> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: and he lost the same one we referred to Justin

625
00:28:27,760 –> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: Reid fifty one to thirty one to the Kansas City Chiefs.

626
00:28:30,440 –> 00:28:33,919
Speaker 1: After leading that game twenty four to seven. I’m going

627
00:28:34,000 –> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: to tell you there’s no one more excited probably than

628
00:28:37,640 –> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins to win this game next week.

629
00:28:40,520 –> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: One thing that stood out to me about Patrick Mahomes

630
00:28:42,840 –> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: over the years and how it relates to DeAndre. It

631
00:28:46,360 –> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: might be easy to look at it from the outside

632
00:28:48,600 –> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: and to say, all right, Mahomes has won fifteen playoff games,

633
00:28:51,840 –> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 2: He’s won three Super Bowls. He’s accomplished everything there is

634
00:28:54,520 –> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 2: to accomplish as an NFL quarterback. Would he get complacent?

635
00:28:58,160 –> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: And what’s so interesting about Patrick because if you listen

636
00:29:00,600 –> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 2: to him talk about this subject, when he talks about it,

637
00:29:03,480 –> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 2: he doesn’t talk about himself. He talks about his teammates.

638
00:29:06,720 –> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: And while yes, the core of the Chiefs has been

639
00:29:09,800 –> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: around for all this playoff success, this particular team, this

640
00:29:14,280 –> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 2: team of fifty three guys and the practice squad will

641
00:29:17,280 –> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: never be completely together ever again. It’s that case for

642
00:29:20,840 –> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: every single year that yeah, the names, the big names,

643
00:29:24,120 –> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: the playmakers, maybe those guys are all together again. But

644
00:29:26,920 –> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 2: the entire team changes every single year, and for a

645
00:29:31,120 –> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: guy like Mahomes, who is in the locker room with

646
00:29:32,640 –> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: these guys every single day, you spend more time with

647
00:29:34,760 –> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: your teammates than you do with your family. You don’t

648
00:29:37,800 –> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: get complacent because you want to win it for the

649
00:29:39,840 –> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 2: guys that haven’t won it yet. You want to win

650
00:29:42,320 –> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: it for the guys that might not be part of

651
00:29:43,800 –> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: this team next year. And it has really struck me

652
00:29:46,120 –> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: when he said this a couple of years ago for

653
00:29:47,520 –> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: the first time, and he’s kind of reiterated it over

654
00:29:49,360 –> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: the years that he wants to be able to look

655
00:29:51,800 –> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 2: back at his career and be like, every single year,

656
00:29:54,280 –> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 2: I gave my absolute best for the guys around me,

657
00:29:57,440 –> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: and for Patrick, He’s going to give us absolute Yeah,

658
00:30:00,640 –> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: for himself and for his legacy, and for the Chiefs

659
00:30:02,720 –> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: of course, but also for DeAndre Hopkins and for Charles

660
00:30:06,520 –> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 2: the men who and for guys that maybe haven’t won

661
00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 2: a lot in their careers, have been really good players

662
00:30:12,640 –> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 2: but haven’t been on the field to win a Super Bowl.

663
00:30:14,960 –> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: And Charles, of course, at the torn acl last year,

664
00:30:16,880 –> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: couldn’t go and win the Super Bowl on the field.

665
00:30:19,360 –> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: So that’s always struck me about Patrick his dedication, his

666
00:30:23,160 –> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: commitment to his teammates and wanting to be the best

667
00:30:25,480 –> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: that he is for his teammates that maybe have been

668
00:30:28,840 –> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: really successful but haven’t reached the mountain top. That’s cool

669
00:30:31,760 –> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: that you can’t teach that, like, that’s just who he

670
00:30:34,160 –> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: is and we have that in our locker room. Kelsey’s

671
00:30:36,480 –> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: the same way, and I think that’s a big reason

672
00:30:38,520 –> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: why this team has been so successful over the years

673
00:30:40,560 –> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 2: and been able to sustain it. It’s because they want

674
00:30:43,280 –> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: to do it for each other.

675
00:30:44,400 –> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: It’s cool you bring up a mena who. It reminds

676
00:30:46,200 –> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: me of the one Thornhill’s story now ones with the

677
00:30:48,440 –> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, but towards ACL at the end of the

678
00:30:52,080 –> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: regular season in the run to Super Bowl fifty four

679
00:30:54,800 –> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. I remember after that game, we’re

680
00:30:57,160 –> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: all under U four X state and he’s over in

681
00:30:59,280 –> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: his locker he’s he’s happy for everybody, but he knows

682
00:31:01,600 –> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: he wasn’t part of it a minute, and he was.

683
00:31:04,880 –> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 1: He was. He was, but a mena who who played

684
00:31:07,760 –> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: so good in the playoffs last year, fueled by that

685
00:31:10,280 –> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: Week eighteen when over the Chargers does the same thing.

686
00:31:15,040 –> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: Rex’s knee cannot play in Super Bowl fifty eight. He

687
00:31:19,000 –> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: is hungry to do this and get it done and

688
00:31:21,640 –> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: be a part of being a champion, a set apart champion.

689
00:31:25,280 –> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: We’ll close out this way. There’s two other guys that

690
00:31:27,240 –> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: come to mind in this discussion about energy, because you

691
00:31:30,640 –> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: can imagine DeAndre Hopkins, who plays so great, so effective,

692
00:31:33,720 –> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: he’s changed our season. We’ll go into some extra energy

693
00:31:36,800 –> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: to this Divisional playoff round. Kareem Hunt. Kareem Hunt was

694
00:31:40,680 –> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: here in seventeen and steamrolling in eighteen and then had

695
00:31:44,520 –> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: the incident where he was dismissed from the team. But

696
00:31:48,240 –> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: now he’s back. He’s getting a chance that less than

697
00:31:52,320 –> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: two percent of players in the NFL would get a shot.

698
00:31:55,920 –> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: He missed on all the fun at Super Bowl fifty four,

699
00:31:58,160 –> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: fifty seven, and fifty eight. He didn’t lament about it.

700
00:32:00,480 –> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: He told me personally that he was rejoicing for everyone.

701
00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: But now Kareem gets a shot. He’s won one playoff game,

702
00:32:07,240 –> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 1: a wild card game. Kareem Hunt has never won in

703
00:32:09,920 –> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: the divisional playoff round. He lost to US in the

704
00:32:14,920 –> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: twenty two to seventeen game in the twenty twenty two season,

705
00:32:17,400 –> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: the Chad Henny Game, but the point is here that

706
00:32:20,760 –> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt will be excited and have energy for this game.

707
00:32:23,960 –> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: And then finally, Hollywood Brown. Hollywood Brown has one playoff win.

708
00:32:29,000 –> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: He has never won in the divisional playoff round. That

709
00:32:31,720 –> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: was a wild card win in twenty twenty one. Those

710
00:32:35,280 –> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: three guys in specific throwing DJ humphreyes he’s only played

711
00:32:38,000 –> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: one playoff game and lost. None of those guys have

712
00:32:41,000 –> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: won in the divisional playoff round. They are the second

713
00:32:44,520 –> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: part of the experience plus energy, the East squared equals

714
00:32:48,200 –> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: the unknown variable. But I’m excited for those guys, and

715
00:32:51,480 –> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs win the game next week, whomever they play,

716
00:32:54,360 –> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: I will find those guys first because I know what’s

717
00:32:56,960 –> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: going to mean to them.

718
00:32:57,840 –> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: And he’s not just saying that. I remember when you

719
00:32:59,640 –> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: told me that before the twenty two divisional round game

720
00:33:02,280 –> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 2: against the Jags. You’re like, I’m going to find Carlos

721
00:33:04,160 –> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: done Lap, I’m going to find him. And he did.

722
00:33:06,560 –> 00:33:08,719
Speaker 2: He did, and that was really cool to see all

723
00:33:08,760 –> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: three of those never teers.

724
00:33:09,880 –> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: There were tiers and A Losko’s we’re not done. I

725
00:33:13,400 –> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: got no, we’re not, and we weren’t. But you never

726
00:33:15,520 –> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: forget this moment. Los and you never forget it. It’s

727
00:33:19,080 –> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: a wildcard game that the Kingdom has forgot about in

728
00:33:21,640 –> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: thirty to nothing and you’re watching in Buenos Service, Argentina.

729
00:33:24,640 –> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: I’ll never forget it.

730
00:33:25,440 –> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: How cool that was for Carlos. I remember him before

731
00:33:30,200 –> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 2: the season at training camp saying that he had three goals.

732
00:33:32,640 –> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: He came to Kansas City for three reasons, wanted to

733
00:33:35,040 –> 00:33:37,719
Speaker 2: get to his hundredth career sackt it, did that, win

734
00:33:37,760 –> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: a playoff game, did that, And when the Super Bowl

735
00:33:40,200 –> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 2: did that, It’s like, oh yeah, do those things? Pretty cool?

736
00:33:44,240 –> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 2: The bingo word today is perspective. I’m going to say

737
00:33:46,680 –> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 2: perspective again for those three players that you just mentioned

738
00:33:49,160 –> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 2: and Hunt, Hollywood and Humphrees, because all three of those

739
00:33:52,240 –> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 2: guys had a lot of success and were really good

740
00:33:54,920 –> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 2: and then had it taken away from them. So Kareem

741
00:33:57,480 –> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: situation you outlined, we all know about that figured to

742
00:34:01,000 –> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 2: be a big part of this offense this year, and

743
00:34:03,120 –> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: then first snap of the preseason it’s taken away. Real

744
00:34:06,240 –> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: doubt if he’s going to be able to play for

745
00:34:08,000 –> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: the Chiefs at all this season. He works like crazy

746
00:34:11,480 –> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: through his rehab, makes it back and plays, and I mean,

747
00:34:14,440 –> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: we’re super excited about Hollywood. I think he changes the

748
00:34:16,640 –> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 2: whole offense, but he knows what it’s like to have

749
00:34:19,880 –> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: that taken away from him. And same for Humphreys. Humphrey’s

750
00:34:22,480 –> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: playing at a very high level throughout his career, tears

751
00:34:24,640 –> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 2: his acl it’s taken away from him. Well, those three

752
00:34:27,200 –> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 2: guys know what it’s like to have a lot of

753
00:34:29,640 –> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: success then all of a sudden it’s taken away, and

754
00:34:32,560 –> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 2: they’re not going to waste this opportunity. They’re all healthy,

755
00:34:35,440 –> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 2: they’re all ready to go. They’re hungry for this moment

756
00:34:37,960 –> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: because they know how hard it is to get to

757
00:34:39,600 –> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 2: this point and that it can be taken away at

758
00:34:41,560 –> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: any moment, and they’re not going to waste it. And

759
00:34:43,680 –> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: that’s why this team, for so many reasons, is geared

760
00:34:46,239 –> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 2: up for hopefully a championship run. But it’s full of

761
00:34:49,160 –> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: players like that that maybe they weren’t around for the

762
00:34:52,440 –> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 2: first three Super Bowls. They’re getting their super Bowl this year.

763
00:34:55,600 –> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: That’s their mentality and that’s why this team is so special.

764
00:34:58,560 –> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: One of the many reasons.

765
00:35:00,000 –> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: There’s a jillion gigs of data of names that didn’t

766
00:35:04,080 –> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: get that second chance and these guys got it. So

767
00:35:08,360 –> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: we try to solve the equation, but we’ll go in

768
00:35:11,200 –> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: knowing E squared experience unusual experience plus energy equals. We’ll

769
00:35:18,280 –> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: see if we can solve the variable.
