Speaker 1: cool shirts, yeah we do.

16
00:00:51,960 –> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 2: And it makes sense to wear these today because when

17
00:00:53,600 –> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: else are we gonna wear them?

18
00:00:54,920 –> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Also?

19
00:00:55,560 –> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: Ooh Coameso. We learned that about twenty seconds ago, So

20
00:00:59,000 –> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: give us a some leeway there.

21
00:01:00,800 –> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I think it’s right, yes, and I’ve done you and

22
00:01:03,960 –> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I extensive research and Portuguese, and we’ve studied ever since

23
00:01:07,560 –> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: we found out we were going to so Paulo that

24
00:01:09,480 –> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: we were gonna get it down. Where’s Cairo Santos when

25
00:01:12,640 –> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: you need them? Always with the Bears, Come on, man,

26
00:01:15,680 –> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: come join us just for a week. But anyway, here

27
00:01:17,880 –> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: we are a chance to open the season and open

28
00:01:20,560 –> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: up in the AFC West and to play the Chargers.

29
00:01:23,400 –> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: And so it’s here. I was thinking though, how and

30
00:01:28,240 –> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: I’m gonna spoil my you know how I start with

31
00:01:30,480 –> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: a monologue on the radio broadcast. Yeah, and I take

32
00:01:34,240 –> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: some pride in those. Sometimes it’s science, sometimes it’s cartoons.

33
00:01:37,840 –> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes it’s all kinds of different genre, which you write

34
00:01:41,280 –> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: those the morning of, right morning of. You have to

35
00:01:44,160 –> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: wait till the morning of, and you can’t.

36
00:01:45,880 –> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: You all listening should see it like it’s incredible, Like

37
00:01:48,720 –> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: it’s like this much text. It’s like a block of

38
00:01:52,400 –> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: text and it’s so close together and so small, but

39
00:01:54,520 –> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: you’re able to process it. It’s amazing.

40
00:01:57,640 –> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: Anthropologists we’ll find them five hundred year going to what

41
00:02:00,720 –> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: was this guy about? I don’t know. This seems like

42
00:02:02,680 –> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: kind of a crazy culture, but yes, kind of hieroglyphics

43
00:02:05,880 –> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: if you will I love it, but it’s the beginning

44
00:02:10,200 –> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: of things. But how the international games that the Chiefs

45
00:02:13,520 –> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: have had have been the beginning of things. Think about

46
00:02:16,280 –> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: this when you go back to twenty fifteen, horrible start

47
00:02:19,880 –> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: to the season. The Chiefs had rallied back and to

48
00:02:22,720 –> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: get to three and five, and I remember beating Pittsburgh

49
00:02:28,040 –> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: without Ben Roethlisberger at home, and we were getting ready

50
00:02:30,680 –> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: to go to play the Lions in London. That set

51
00:02:33,720 –> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: off a string of ten straight wins and the first

52
00:02:35,760 –> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: playoff victory for the franchise in twenty one years. I’m

53
00:02:38,960 –> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 1: glad they showed it on the Kingdom and the docu series.

54
00:02:42,480 –> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: But then you go ahead to twenty nineteen and you

55
00:02:44,240 –> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: and I have talked about the Mexico City game against

56
00:02:46,360 –> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: these Chargers. The Chiefs were kind of we were suffering

57
00:02:50,560 –> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: here a little bit, pat.

58
00:02:51,760 –> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: We were six and four at that point, six and four.

59
00:02:53,639 –> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: Padd had missed, you know, the end of October, we’d

60
00:02:56,680 –> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: lost three straight home games, one against the Charge in

61
00:03:00,320 –> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: Mexico City and never lost a good Yeah. Now twenty

62
00:03:04,040 –> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: three wasn’t quite that, but the win in Germany was

63
00:03:08,960 –> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: profound in beating Miami, a precursor to beating them again

64
00:03:12,560 –> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, but all the way to the Super Bowl.

65
00:03:14,560 –> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: So these international games the Chiefs three and zero have

66
00:03:18,600 –> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: been the start of things. And now this is the

67
00:03:21,000 –> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: start of the season in Bracil against the Chargers.

68
00:03:23,840 –> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: And I have some fun notes on the international stuff.

69
00:03:26,480 –> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: So the Chiefs, when they kick this game off, will

70
00:03:29,280 –> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 2: become the first team in NFL history to play four

71
00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: regular season games and four different countries outside of the

72
00:03:36,400 –> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: United States. You laid them out, UK, Mexico, Germany, now Brazil.

73
00:03:40,480 –> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: No other team has played in four different countries a

74
00:03:43,000 –> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: regular season game outside of the US. And if we

75
00:03:46,040 –> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: can win this game, we’ll match the Vikings for the

76
00:03:48,360 –> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: most international regular season wins of any team without a loss.

77
00:03:52,680 –> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: So pretty cool stuff. That also does not include the

78
00:03:55,840 –> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: games in Japan, which I believe you were here for.

79
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: I was here for two of them, ninety eight right in.

80
00:04:01,560 –> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Tokyo and against the Vikings and the Packers, respectively. And

81
00:04:06,000 –> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: then there was a game in Mexico in Monterrey, Mexico,

82
00:04:09,360 –> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: and that was against the Cowboys. Interspersed in between those

83
00:04:12,600 –> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: trips to Japan.

84
00:04:13,680 –> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: What were the Japan trips like?

85
00:04:15,880 –> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: They were incredible? Yeah, I mean they were awesome of

86
00:04:19,240 –> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: all of our international trips. I’m going to get in

87
00:04:21,200 –> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: trouble here because now Germany was best. Germany was amazing,

88
00:04:24,680 –> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: it was number one. I don’t want to go back

89
00:04:26,240 –> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: so badly. It’s you know, home country. But the Japanese

90
00:04:30,640 –> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: people are incredible, so hospitable and so resourceful and clean,

91
00:04:36,000 –> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: and it’s generally safe in that country. They just kind

92
00:04:40,360 –> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: of have it figured out. And the Japanese people. I

93
00:04:43,160 –> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: would go back there in a second. I hope one

94
00:04:44,800 –> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: of these chiefs international games would go back to Japan’s.

95
00:04:47,839 –> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: We’re going that direction there seems like seems.

96
00:04:50,000 –> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Like it where it seems like though Australia is going

97
00:04:52,800 –> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: to be somebody’s destination.

98
00:04:54,800 –> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure. Well the Rams are playing a home

99
00:04:56,640 –> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: game there next year. And you know what’s funny is

100
00:04:58,880 –> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 2: I was telling a friend about this last night and

101
00:05:01,320 –> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: they just got back from Australia and they asked where

102
00:05:03,360 –> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: the game was and I said, it’s in Melbourne, like Melbourne,

103
00:05:06,520 –> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: you know, like anyone here would say it. And she

104
00:05:08,760 –> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 2: was making fun of me because I guess they say it.

105
00:05:11,320 –> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne, Melbourne, not Melbourne. Yeah, Melbourne. We got

106
00:05:15,200 –> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: that bell game over at me Melbourne, Australia.

107
00:05:17,560 –> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, were they were the Japanese people hungry for football.

108
00:05:21,360 –> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. And then my first year, my rookie year,

109
00:05:24,520 –> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: we had Joe Montana, oh man, and we it might

110
00:05:27,200 –> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: have been the male version of Taylor.

111
00:05:28,920 –> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: Swift, just a rock star.

112
00:05:30,080 –> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my gosh. The Japanese were everywhere looking at

113
00:05:32,400 –> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: Joe Montana. Where’s Joe Montana, Where’s Joe Montana, like sneaking

114
00:05:35,240 –> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 1: around the hotel and it was, yeah, phenomenal, that’s so cool.

115
00:05:38,680 –> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: But it was h Yeah. We played the Tokyo Dome,

116
00:05:41,040 –> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: it was it was really cool. And the Japanese love athletics.

117
00:05:45,080 –> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: You see that in the Japanese Baseball League. Sure, but

118
00:05:47,920 –> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: they they love it, they get it, they appreciate it.

119
00:05:50,320 –> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, tip of the cap to the folks in Japan.

120
00:05:52,600 –> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: And one of these day, hopefully you go back.

121
00:05:54,920 –> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: There well and we’re going to have probably a very

122
00:05:57,000 –> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: similar experience in Brazil. This is the coolest. One of

123
00:05:59,440 –> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: the coolest things is about being the team that the

124
00:06:02,360 –> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: Chiefs are right now. In addition to like Super Bowls

125
00:06:05,040 –> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: and all the winning and everything is we are the

126
00:06:07,720 –> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: brand ambassador for football now in the world. I mean

127
00:06:10,440 –> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: how cool is that that if you’re in Brazil you

128
00:06:12,960 –> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: might know nothing about football, but if you know anything,

129
00:06:17,320 –> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: you know who the chiefs are, you know who Patrick

130
00:06:19,440 –> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: Mahomes is, and we’re going there and we’re bringing the

131
00:06:22,040 –> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: product to them. And you and I get to go

132
00:06:24,200 –> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 2: on these international vacations and just be along for the ride.

133
00:06:27,200 –> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: I think it’s pretty cool.

134
00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn’t term it as a vacation, but.

135
00:06:31,080 –> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: Not quite a vacation. But I don’t know. We’re going somewhere,

136
00:06:34,040 –> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 2: going to know, somewhere six thousand miles away.

137
00:06:36,279 –> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Well, and you talked about your experience in the South

138
00:06:38,360 –> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: American continent and traveling all the countries with your dad

139
00:06:41,920 –> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: and all the travails you had. But this is different

140
00:06:45,040 –> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: because you’re not crossing all these time zones. We’re not

141
00:06:48,720 –> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: going to Europe or I went to Japan and you’re

142
00:06:52,120 –> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: like crossing all these you’re only two hours difference time,

143
00:06:55,360 –> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: two hours ahead, but it’s an eleven hour flight. It’s

144
00:06:58,720 –> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: like the duration of a Japanese flight, but without the

145
00:07:02,360 –> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: time change, the straight south going straight south. So to me,

146
00:07:06,080 –> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: that’s a different dynamic. So have we already gone around the

147
00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: world now? It kind of feels like we have.

148
00:07:12,600 –> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 2: We’ve kind of gone around the world, we haven’t actually

149
00:07:14,680 –> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: gone around the world. I’ll be quick today. I’ve got

150
00:07:17,320 –> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: five for you for Hollywood Brown, who looks like he’s

151
00:07:21,640 –> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: healthy and gonna play on on Friday.

152
00:07:23,360 –> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Five catches, ninety six yards and two tudies.

153
00:07:27,240 –> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that sounds great. Shout out to Trent and

154
00:07:30,520 –> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 2: the Philippines, which is located in the.

155
00:07:35,120 –> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Northern Hemisphere.

156
00:07:36,120 –> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 2: Northern Hemisphere, got that figured out, which is the opposite

157
00:07:38,960 –> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: of where we’re going. We were going to the Southern Hemisphere.

158
00:07:42,320 –> 00:07:44,960

Speaker 1: Let’s go uh?

184
00:08:40,960 –> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 2: And then I mentioned Tom and Palmer, Arkansas last week.

185
00:08:44,320 –> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Turns out I messed that one up. It’s actually Palmer, Alaska.

186
00:08:48,080 –> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I need to brush up on

187
00:08:50,720 –> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: my postal codes R versus AKK.

188
00:08:54,520 –> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, this is what happens to I go. Is

189
00:08:56,920 –> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: that Palmer, Alaska? Man? It is?

190
00:08:59,559 –> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: Yes, Tuition was correct. This is what happens when I

191
00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: do this thirty seconds before we go on the air.

192
00:09:05,640 –> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: So anyway, Palmer, Alaska. One of the local high schools

193
00:09:08,960 –> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: there is the Palmer Moose. The moose so good plural, yeah,

194
00:09:13,160 –> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 2: but moose, Yeah, the Palmer moose. And then here’s some

195
00:09:16,760 –> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: trivia for you. So we established that Tom was a

196
00:09:20,880 –> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 2: Troy Trojan, he was a Highland Juco Scotty Scotty yep,

197
00:09:25,880 –> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 2: and then a Benedictine Raven. Yes, you nailed it. That’s

198
00:09:29,400 –> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: what I got for you today. Well done, Palmer. Love

199
00:09:32,280 –> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: it the Moose. Shout out to Tom.

200
00:09:33,840 –> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Wonder who they play? And I want to know if

201
00:09:35,920 –> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: he’s a college fan of either the UAF now Nooks,

202
00:09:39,840 –> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: the University of Alaska Fairbanks or the University of Alaska

203
00:09:43,320 –> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Anchorage Sea Wolves.

204
00:09:44,679 –> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 2: Those are two great.

205
00:09:45,679 –> 00:09:48,359
Speaker 1: Maybe Alaska Southeast and I don’t know their nickname.

206
00:09:48,160 –> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 2: Okay, probably something awesome.

207
00:09:49,960 –> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: It has to be. They’re in the Panhandle, but up

208
00:09:52,600 –> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: there at UAF maybe then Nanooks. Let’s go. Let’s go

209
00:09:55,200 –> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: big hockey and basketball.

210
00:09:56,480 –> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: Love it.

211
00:09:56,960 –> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Here we are the beginning and the beginning of

212
00:10:00,080 –> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: this season against the Chargers, and we’ll just kind of

213
00:10:03,400 –> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: lay this matchup out. What is intrigued me in studying

214
00:10:07,080 –> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Let me start this way. The AFC West,

215
00:10:10,240 –> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: it has become the discussion and the and let’s be honest,

216
00:10:14,040 –> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 1: I want to be humble about this. But the other

217
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: three teams, and I get it, are sick of losing

218
00:10:18,559 –> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs. We were sick of losing to the

219
00:10:20,480 –> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 1: Broncos and Peyton Manning and all that. But it’s been

220
00:10:23,200 –> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: nine years, so a full decade is on the line here.

221
00:10:28,440 –> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: What is really interesting is this collection of coaches that

222
00:10:32,120 –> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: have found its way to the AFC West. If you

223
00:10:35,160 –> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: look at it, six hundred and sixty eight regular season

224
00:10:37,640 –> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: wins from these four coaches, Wow, fifty three playoff wins.

225
00:10:40,720 –> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: By the way, coach has three oh one of the

226
00:10:42,520 –> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: six to sixty eight and he’s got twenty eight of

227
00:10:46,880 –> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: the fifty three playoff wins. But that together, of those

228
00:10:52,040 –> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: wins playoff wins, it is the greatest in NFL history

229
00:10:55,000 –> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: for any division to start a season. That’s what we’ve got.

230
00:10:59,160 –> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: We’ve got these coaches in these teams colliding in this

231
00:11:03,080 –> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: division to try to unseat the Chiefs.

232
00:11:05,200 –> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: Wow. And of course Pete Carroll been to and won

233
00:11:08,280 –> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. Sean Payton been to and won a

234
00:11:10,720 –> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. And Jim Harbab been to but not won

235
00:11:13,559 –> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl but still very impressive.

236
00:11:15,320 –> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: Won a national championship at Michigan.

237
00:11:17,040 –> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean three of the

238
00:11:18,960 –> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 2: most accomplished coaches in NFL history. And then Coach Reid,

239
00:11:22,160 –> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 2: who I think is the greatest coach of all time.

240
00:11:25,480 –> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: I know Bill Belichick has the rings and the wins,

241
00:11:27,800 –> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: but the way Coach Reid has adapted over time, done

242
00:11:31,360 –> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: it with multiple teams, done it with multiple quarterbacks, multiple schemes,

243
00:11:35,280 –> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: won in different ways. I think Coach Reads the greatest

244
00:11:37,600 –> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: coach of all time, and we’re so fortunate he’s steering

245
00:11:40,240 –> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: our ship. You know, With that in mind, opening the

246
00:11:43,320 –> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 2: season against the Chargers is a little bit unique because

247
00:11:45,720 –> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: this is the first time we’ve opened the season against

248
00:11:47,640 –> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 2: the divisional opponent since twenty eighteen, which was Patrick Mahomes’

249
00:11:51,280 –> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: second ever start and its first real start like as

250
00:11:53,800 –> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs starter. If you throw out the Broncos game

251
00:11:56,679 –> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: in Week seventeen the previous year, and it’s funny looking

252
00:12:00,520 –> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 2: back on that, because we knew Patrick was good, and

253
00:12:03,640 –> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: we knew we had a chance to be exciting and

254
00:12:06,240 –> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: good in the future. I don’t think any of us

255
00:12:08,240 –> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: could have predicted him going thirty five and five against

256
00:12:12,040 –> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: the AFC West for his career so far.

257
00:12:14,240 –> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: And that eighteen opener was against.

258
00:12:16,320 –> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: The Chargers, Yeah, the Chargers in LA. I think that

259
00:12:19,480 –> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: was at the Soccer Stadium, it.

260
00:12:21,320 –> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: Was yeah, Cal State Domingo sales.

261
00:12:23,600 –> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: But that thirty five and five, that’s the highest winning

262
00:12:26,320 –> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: percentage for a quarterback against their own division since the merger.

263
00:12:29,960 –> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that’s just ridiculous. This is how you keep

264
00:12:34,160 –> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: going to the playoffs and the Super Bowl and everything

265
00:12:36,000 –> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: as you take care of business first against your division.

266
00:12:38,600 –> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: And no team has been better about that over the

267
00:12:40,840 –> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 2: last nine years and certainly in Patrick Mahomes’s career than

268
00:12:45,120 –> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. So if the Chiefs want to win ten

269
00:12:48,240 –> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: AFC West titles in a row, which is the first goal,

270
00:12:51,000 –> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: we can’t talk about the Super Bowl yet. It’s about

271
00:12:52,800 –> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: winning the AFC West first. That goal begins with beating

272
00:12:56,120 –> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: the Chargers here in Week one.

273
00:12:57,360 –> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: And everybody thinks the AFC West has been trash, it hasn’t.

274
00:13:00,080 –> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: That run includes two twelve and four teams, the twelve

275
00:13:03,600 –> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: and four Raiders of sixteen and then the twelve and

276
00:13:06,679 –> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: four Chargers, and these teams have gone to the playoffs.

277
00:13:09,840 –> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: Chargers have gone, they’ve struggling to win. They can’t win one.

278
00:13:12,600 –> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: But and the Broncos they’re run in it with Super

279
00:13:16,880 –> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty but went to the playoffs last year, and

280
00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders have had decent teams at times, so it’s

281
00:13:23,440 –> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: not like it’s all the teams in the division have

282
00:13:25,880 –> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: been three and fourteen for these nine years. That’s one

283
00:13:29,040 –> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: of the false narratives that keep it’s just a trash division. No, no,

284
00:13:32,640 –> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: it’s not. And of course with the Heritage Division going

285
00:13:35,960 –> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: all the way back to the American Football League, look.

286
00:13:38,559 –> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 2: Look at last year to two playoff teams as wildcard

287
00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: teams out of the AFC West.

288
00:13:42,480 –> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, three playoff teams of the four teams in the division.

289
00:13:45,520 –> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: Stop it all, right, So here we are, but here’s

290
00:13:48,640 –> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens. What I think is interesting about the Ravens

291
00:13:51,080 –> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: is I’m sorry the Chargers, is that I think Jim Harbaugh,

292
00:13:55,600 –> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: who’s very different than his brother John Harbaugh h and

293
00:13:58,360 –> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: have also met the father when he was coaching at

294
00:14:00,480 –> 00:14:04,719
Speaker 1: Western Kentucky. But it feels like Jim wants to make

295
00:14:04,760 –> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers the Ravens of the AFC West. And we

296
00:14:08,320 –> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: mentioned this last year, but even more so if you

297
00:14:10,520 –> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: study the Chargers and what they did this offseason with

298
00:14:13,720 –> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: who they moved on from, who they gathered, who they

299
00:14:16,080 –> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: got in free agency, and who they drafted, it is

300
00:14:19,440 –> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: even more profound. Of this is a Charger team that

301
00:14:23,560 –> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh wanted to make more physical in both offense

302
00:14:27,120 –> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: and defense. They’re good and special teams, three good coordinators.

303
00:14:30,280 –> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: Coach Reed talked about that. But this is a team

304
00:14:33,280 –> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: that looks more and more like the Baltimore Ravens all

305
00:14:36,000 –> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: the time.

306
00:14:36,520 –> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: It really does, and kind of like Harbaugh’s Niners years

307
00:14:40,320 –> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: ago in San Francisco. Look at both sides of the

308
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: ball here. He wants to play great defense, really sound, tough,

309
00:14:47,280 –> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: physical defense, and the Chargers did that last year. They

310
00:14:50,440 –> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 2: were the number one scoring defense in the NFL. They

311
00:14:55,040 –> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: led the league an opponent red zone touchdown percentage, they

312
00:14:57,680 –> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 2: ranked fifth on third down, and they allowed twenty or

313
00:15:00,280 –> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: fewer points in thirteen games, most of any team in

314
00:15:03,440 –> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: the NFL. So he wants to play great defense. And

315
00:15:06,080 –> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: then with Greg Roman, who is his offensive coordinator, who

316
00:15:09,000 –> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 2: was his offensive coordinator in San Francisco with Colin Kaepernick

317
00:15:12,280 –> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: in that offense, and then went to Baltimore and was

318
00:15:15,840 –> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson’s offensive coordinator early in his career, we’re seeing

319
00:15:19,640 –> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: the same kind of scheme. Even though Justin Herbert isn’t

320
00:15:22,560 –> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: necessarily that kind of quarterback where he’s out there in

321
00:15:26,200 –> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: space running around all the time. It’s a similar scheme

322
00:15:29,280 –> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: where Roman wants to run the football a ton and

323
00:15:32,200 –> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: do it effectively and then use play action off of that.

324
00:15:35,040 –> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: And we saw that with the Chargers last year, where

325
00:15:37,640 –> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: Herbert did a ton of play action and he was

326
00:15:39,960 –> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: great at it. I mean he had the highest completion percentage,

327
00:15:43,000 –> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: his second most completions, and the second most passing yards

328
00:15:46,120 –> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: off play action of any quarterback in the NFL last year.

329
00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: And look at his numbers. I mean he didn’t throw

330
00:15:51,680 –> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 2: for like crazy touchdown numbers. I think it was twenty

331
00:15:54,200 –> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: three touchdowns three interceptions all year. If he was to

332
00:15:57,600 –> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: have any qualified passer, he wasn’t making mistakes. They were

333
00:16:00,640 –> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: running the ball and Herbert was using play action with

334
00:16:03,080 –> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: great success, often looking for lad mccacky.

335
00:16:05,880 –> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, the playoffs different story. He had four interceptions against

336
00:16:09,280 –> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: Houston in.

337
00:16:09,720 –> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 2: The playoffs in one game.

338
00:16:10,960 –> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: He had three all year long. Crazy. So back to

339
00:16:13,960 –> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: your point. Defensively, there were twelve times last year of

340
00:16:18,240 –> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: the seventeen games they only allowed seven points or less

341
00:16:21,720 –> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: in the first halves. That’s crazy. They set the tone.

342
00:16:25,720 –> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: Now the Chiefs had one of those. They had thirteen

343
00:16:27,680 –> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: in the game in December in the first half. But

344
00:16:30,680 –> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: think of twelve of seventeen games, a defense allowing seven

345
00:16:34,760 –> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: or less in the first two quarters of a game

346
00:16:37,800 –> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: twelve times, and against a pretty good slate of opponents.

347
00:16:41,040 –> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: And your play action passing is there as well when

348
00:16:43,640 –> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: you look at what they gathered in yards and you

349
00:16:45,640 –> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: alluded to it, but almost sixteen hundred yards off play action.

350
00:16:49,480 –> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: And then they go get Najie Harris in the offseason,

351
00:16:52,680 –> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 1: four straight one thousand yard rushing years for the Steelers,

352
00:16:55,680 –> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: and they drafted Marion Hampton, who other than Nashviian Gente,

353
00:16:59,080 –> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: the most powerful running back in the draft. And you

354
00:17:01,800 –> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: can just see they want to add more pieces that

355
00:17:04,200 –> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: look like if they change their uniforms to purple and black,

356
00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: they would be the Raven Chargers.

357
00:17:09,760 –> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they have front office people that came

358
00:17:12,320 –> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 2: from the Ravens, Like they think like the Ravens.

359
00:17:14,359 –> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: In the fact, we have so many Eagles guys. If

360
00:17:17,560 –> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: you think of the old Eagles charters, that’s what these

361
00:17:19,840 –> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: guys have with the Ravens. There’s so many guys, including

362
00:17:21,960 –> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Greg Roman. But yes, their front office is there’s just

363
00:17:25,320 –> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: a lot of Baltimore influence.

364
00:17:26,680 –> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: And they want to build this hard nose tough football team.

365
00:17:30,560 –> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: Now one curveball they’ve been thrown that most everyone knows

366
00:17:34,240 –> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: about at this point is they lost their left tackle

367
00:17:36,840 –> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 2: and training camp and Mershaun Slater. And that’s a big,

368
00:17:40,280 –> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: big deal because, I mean, the argument could be made

369
00:17:43,600 –> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 2: they had the two best bookends in the NFL with

370
00:17:47,200 –> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: Slater at the left side and then Joe Alt on

371
00:17:49,520 –> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: the right side. Well, you lose Slater in training camp.

372
00:17:52,400 –> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 2: We know all about this when you play musical chairs

373
00:17:54,600 –> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 2: on your offensive line. Alt’s now going to left tackle.

374
00:17:57,600 –> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: And now Trey Pipkins, who has played before and started

375
00:18:00,119 –> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 2: before but is a reserve on their offensive line, he’s

376
00:18:02,880 –> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: now they’re starting right tackle for the season. How does

377
00:18:06,119 –> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 2: that change things for them? Because Herbert was fantastic last

378
00:18:09,760 –> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: year in this system, but when he was under pressure,

379
00:18:13,240 –> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: his numbers were much different. When he was kept clean

380
00:18:15,840 –> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: last year, very difficult to beat through eighteen touchdowns, zero picks,

381
00:18:20,119 –> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: completed seventy one percent of his passes when he was

382
00:18:22,960 –> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: pressured only five touchdowns, all three of his interceptions, and

383
00:18:27,080 –> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: his completion percentage dropped by twenty points. So in this

384
00:18:30,600 –> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 2: game and really all season for them, But looking at

385
00:18:32,800 –> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: this game specifically with nover Sean Slater. How can the

386
00:18:35,840 –> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: Chiefs take advantage of that defensively if you can pressure Herbert.

387
00:18:40,000 –> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: Starts with stopping the run, which the Chiefs did a

388
00:18:41,840 –> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: great job of last year. Chargers didn’t run for one

389
00:18:44,600 –> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: hundred yards in either game against the Chiefs. Stop the run,

390
00:18:48,320 –> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: create pressure on Herbert kind of throws this entire offensive

391
00:18:51,760 –> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: scheme out the window. And that’s what happened to Herbert

392
00:18:54,119 –> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 2: in that playoff game against the Texans. They were completely

393
00:18:56,720 –> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 2: out of off schedule, off kilter, and the system didn’t work.

394
00:19:00,440 –> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: So hopefully we’ll see what happens in this one. But

395
00:19:02,880 –> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 2: stop the run and create pressure on Herbert the whole

396
00:19:06,119 –> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: thing they want to do doesn’t work nearly as well.

397
00:19:08,520 –> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they’ve even toyed with moving Zion Johnson to center.

398
00:19:11,960 –> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: They’re trying to kind of figure out the offensive line. Here.

399
00:19:15,280 –> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: They have Lad McCaughey, who’s an outstanding receiver, the former

400
00:19:18,680 –> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldog. But on the other side, where the Chargers

401
00:19:22,000 –> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: defensively were really good last year sixth in sacks, but

402
00:19:25,840 –> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: in the game in December at GHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium,

403
00:19:29,760 –> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: they had eleven quarterback hits on Patrick Mahomes in the

404
00:19:33,480 –> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: first half.

405
00:19:35,280 –> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: Man.

406
00:19:35,840 –> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: So a team that plays this physical being the Charger

407
00:19:39,960 –> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Ravens Raven Chargers, is they want to dictate terms and

408
00:19:44,160 –> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: you just talked about it. For the Chiefs defensively want

409
00:19:46,200 –> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: to dictate terms. A clean pocket is also one off

410
00:19:49,160 –> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: play action and the best way to have a clean

411
00:19:52,080 –> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 1: pocket is to have a good play action game, yep,

412
00:19:54,480 –> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: because everybody’s holding up as far as pass rushers. I mean,

413
00:19:58,160 –> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: you don’t run by a running back to get to

414
00:19:59,840 –> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback and hope the quarterback still has the ball.

415
00:20:02,359 –> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: You’ve got to make reads and trust your eyes and

416
00:20:05,280 –> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: your keys. But protection, obviously is big. Joey Bosa is

417
00:20:09,920 –> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: no longer there. They still have Khalil Mack, but the

418
00:20:11,920 –> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: guy is tu Letuipolo to who is emerging. And then

419
00:20:16,560 –> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: Derwin James is an elite safety, maybe the best in

420
00:20:18,880 –> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: the league. But to hit Mahomes eleven times as career high,

421
00:20:23,000 –> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: pet took a shot after shot in that game. Even

422
00:20:24,960 –> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: though the Chiefs had thirteen points in the first half,

423
00:20:27,600 –> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers were trying to impose their will, and to me,

424
00:20:30,880 –> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: that is the first big thing of this game is

425
00:20:34,359 –> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: who will dictate terms in the first five to seven

426
00:20:37,400 –> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: game minutes of the season.

427
00:20:38,760 –> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: Was that the DJ Humphries game. It was okay, so

428
00:20:42,080 –> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: trying to figure out their left tackle situation. DJ Humphries

429
00:20:45,240 –> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 2: made his first and only start with the Chiefs didn’t

430
00:20:48,200 –> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: work out so well. It’s a great first test for

431
00:20:51,080 –> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: Josh Simmons and for Kingsley’s who am out to eam

432
00:20:53,280 –> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: at left guard. We feel really good about this offensive line.

433
00:20:56,520 –> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: We think this might be one of the better offensive

434
00:20:58,520 –> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: lines we had in a while. And Simmons was excellent

435
00:21:02,680 –> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 2: throughout the entire offseason training program, excellent in the preseason.

436
00:21:06,800 –> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 2: But this is a big test. You’re facing some elite

437
00:21:10,119 –> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: edge rushers in Khalil Mack and tuy Tuipolo two and

438
00:21:14,040 –> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: a player that I think is a pretty good young player.

439
00:21:16,320 –> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: And I know that Chargers people are very excited about

440
00:21:18,800 –> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: and Dayon Henley and linebacker really good young player. They’re

441
00:21:23,119 –> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: talented on defense. How does Josh hold up in this game?

442
00:21:27,560 –> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 2: And you know, if he can go out there and

443
00:21:29,680 –> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 2: really hold his own, it’s going to put the league

444
00:21:31,920 –> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 2: on notice, which I’m fired up about. I think he

445
00:21:34,240 –> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: has all the talent in the world. He’s twenty two

446
00:21:36,320 –> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 2: years old, so I think he deserves the benefit of

447
00:21:39,320 –> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: he’s young and it’s going to be an experience with him,

448
00:21:42,119 –> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 2: but I think the talent is there where we have

449
00:21:45,240 –> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: a very young player who can help us for a

450
00:21:47,040 –> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: long time, and this is a great opportunity to go

451
00:21:49,119 –> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: out there against a very good defensive line and begin

452
00:21:51,720 –> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: his career on a high note.

453
00:21:53,600 –> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: Special teams are also gigantic in this game. The Chargers

454
00:21:57,320 –> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: love their special teams and they’re good at it. JK.

455
00:21:59,440 –> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: Scott’s a good punter. Cameron Dicker the kicker, is now

456
00:22:04,080 –> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: the most accurate field goal kicker in NFL history, with

457
00:22:06,760 –> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker fading down, but Harrison Bucker’s not far behind.

458
00:22:10,600 –> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: Darius Davis Arguably, you take a two year compilation, he

459
00:22:14,640 –> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: is the best punt returner in the National Football League

460
00:22:17,880 –> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: and with the new night D Dynamic kickoff tweaking of

461
00:22:21,160 –> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: the rule special teams, both of these teams take great

462
00:22:24,320 –> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: pride in it and feel like they can twist or

463
00:22:26,960 –> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: turn a game or tilt the game in their favor

464
00:22:29,440 –> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: because of special teams. I’m really excited about the Chief

465
00:22:32,960 –> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: special teams. I think athletically, this might be, if not

466
00:22:38,600 –> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: the best, one of Dave Tobe’s most athletic teams in

467
00:22:42,280 –> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: coverage and return potential. And it’s not just the guys

468
00:22:45,800 –> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: that’ll have the ball, it’s the Jeffrey Bosses, the Cooper McDonald’s.

469
00:22:50,000 –> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: So the guys that are new, and I’ll give you

470
00:22:52,760 –> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 1: another one who I’m so excited about and all of

471
00:22:54,800 –> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: you to watch and listen for, is Ash Ginilotti. A

472
00:22:57,560 –> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: guy this powerful and this agile who’s on special teams.

473
00:23:01,400 –> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: And when you get that big a guy on special teams,

474
00:23:03,280 –> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you have instead of a

475
00:23:04,840 –> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: linebacker making a block, you have a defensive end and

476
00:23:07,520 –> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: you can spring a play like I didn’t know that

477
00:23:09,600 –> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: dude was that fast and that powerful that can get

478
00:23:11,760 –> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: here in a hurry. So I’m excited about the two

479
00:23:14,160 –> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: special teams, but the Chargers are also excited about theirs.

480
00:23:17,520 –> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they should be. They have good players on

481
00:23:19,840 –> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: their special teams. Unit. I was thinking about coach tob Though.

482
00:23:23,000 –> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: He had a media session not too long ago and

483
00:23:26,680 –> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: he was asked like, who’s really popped on special teams

484
00:23:29,359 –> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: and he immediately just goes Gelotti, Gelatti for sure, And

485
00:23:32,320 –> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: then you know, we talked about Jelatti. We moved on

486
00:23:35,160 –> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes past he was asked about a

487
00:23:36,840 –> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 2: different player, and then he found a way to go

488
00:23:39,720 –> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: back to Jelatti. He’s like, anyway, Jelatti, it’s just hilarious.

489
00:23:43,000 –> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 2: So Jelotti’s gonna help us both on defense and special

490
00:23:46,520 –> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: teams for sure, but especially in these week one games

491
00:23:50,760 –> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: where there’s nothing on film. Coach tob hasn’t put anything

492
00:23:54,800 –> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 2: on tape that we might do, and this is an

493
00:23:57,840 –> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: opportunity where it’s Week one against the visional opponent, kind

494
00:24:01,720 –> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: of some unique circumstances, playing so far from home, and

495
00:24:04,680 –> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: also of course in a primetime slot. Maybe stuff gets

496
00:24:07,840 –> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 2: weird and maybe something crazy happens, and we’ll see what

497
00:24:11,080 –> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: Coach Tobe decides to do. But how do you get

498
00:24:13,880 –> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: an edge on a team like the Chargers that we

499
00:24:16,040 –> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: know is going to be competitive, we know they want

500
00:24:17,960 –> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: to play great defense, They’re probably not going to turn

501
00:24:20,080 –> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: the ball over a whole lot. How do you get

502
00:24:21,800 –> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: an edge on a team like that? It’s on special

503
00:24:23,760 –> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: teams and curious to see what we do. Harrison Bucker

504
00:24:28,240 –> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 2: obviously has some big moments against these guys over the years.

505
00:24:31,119 –> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 2: We’ll see if he has some more as.

506
00:24:32,560 –> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: Well, and where will the explosive plays come from that

507
00:24:37,240 –> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: is key here. Look at Houston. Houston had some explosive plays.

508
00:24:40,240 –> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 1: The biggest in the playoffs was the fumbled snap that

509
00:24:42,440 –> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: looked like it was going to be a disaster. Chargers

510
00:24:44,640 –> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: are winning that game, and then CJ. Stroud turns it

511
00:24:47,280 –> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: into an explosive play. Sometimes explosive plays are jet chip,

512
00:24:51,040 –> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: wasp matt. There are others when you have a team

513
00:24:53,840 –> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: that has a propensity or the ability to take what

514
00:24:56,680 –> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: would be designed as a ten or twelve yard game

515
00:24:59,440 –> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: or even a six yard gain and it becomes a

516
00:25:01,600 –> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: seventy two yard touchdown. That’s where the Chiefs I think

517
00:25:04,920 –> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: are much better than a year ago is they have

518
00:25:07,240 –> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: that opportunity, not just in design plays, but it’s the

519
00:25:12,320 –> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: undesigned play that becomes a big play. And to do

520
00:25:14,680 –> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: that in all three phases to be explosive. There was

521
00:25:16,880 –> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 1: only one scoop and score last year. There hasn’t been

522
00:25:19,240 –> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: a pick six in a while. There’s only been the

523
00:25:21,600 –> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: last kick returns for touchdowns. We’re in twenty twenty. And

524
00:25:24,480 –> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: then offensively, everybody talks about attacking the deep third. You

525
00:25:27,520 –> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: don’t have to necessarily chuck it down there to get there.

526
00:25:30,480 –> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: You can maybe throw an intermediate play where a guy’s

527
00:25:32,560 –> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: really fast and runs away from the defenders. I think

528
00:25:35,119 –> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have a chance to be more explosive in

529
00:25:36,960 –> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: all three phases, and it’d be nice to start in

530
00:25:38,720 –> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: this game.

531
00:25:39,240 –> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 2: And it’s ironic because everything you’re talking about is what

532
00:25:42,000 –> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 2: we kind of used to be known for. It was

533
00:25:44,440 –> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: the off schedule explosive plays that would just break the

534
00:25:48,160 –> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: opponent’s spirit. Well, because of how teams started to play

535
00:25:51,560 –> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 2: us in twenty twenty one, that kind of thing stopped

536
00:25:54,600 –> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: and we started just kind of maneuvering our way down

537
00:25:56,880 –> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: the field. We got really good at that, won a

538
00:25:58,960 –> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: couple Super Bowls, doing at and three straight AFC titles.

539
00:26:02,720 –> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: But the mantra all off season has been we have

540
00:26:05,880 –> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: to get back to the explosive place. And whether that

541
00:26:08,160 –> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: is something that’s drawn up we were chucking it down

542
00:26:10,040 –> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: the field, or it’s a creative screen, or it is

543
00:26:13,280 –> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 2: an off schedule throw that ends up being an explosive play,

544
00:26:16,520 –> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: we’ve got to get back to that. That has been

545
00:26:18,359 –> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: the mindset all off season long. The Chiefs were twenty

546
00:26:21,440 –> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 2: seventh in the NFL on plays of twenty or more

547
00:26:24,520 –> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: yards last year. That is not Chiefs football, and we

548
00:26:27,119 –> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: have to get back to what we used to do,

549
00:26:28,920 –> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: and I think that’s the mindset going into this game

550
00:26:31,040 –> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 2: and really throughout this season. And some food for thought here.

551
00:26:34,320 –> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: As good as the Chargers defense was last year, and

552
00:26:36,760 –> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 2: they were really good, they were top five in so

553
00:26:38,760 –> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 2: many categories, they allowed the twelfth most plays of twenty

554
00:26:42,480 –> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: or more yards in the NFL. Defenses are different from

555
00:26:45,720 –> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: year to year. I get it’s not the same cast

556
00:26:47,359 –> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: of characters necessarily, but as good as that scheme was

557
00:26:50,200 –> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 2: last year, they did give up their fair share of

558
00:26:52,680 –> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: explosive plays. And I would love nothing more than for

559
00:26:55,400 –> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to put everyone on notice and to kind

560
00:26:57,560 –> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 2: of make a statement offensively in this game. Was some

561
00:27:00,160 –> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: big plays on Friday and explosive runs.

562
00:27:02,920 –> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: Where were they last year? The chief She only had

563
00:27:04,720 –> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: three of thirty to thirty nine and two of those

564
00:27:06,680 –> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: were Mahomes scrambles, only four of twenty to twenty nine,

565
00:27:10,480 –> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: and two of those were worthy into rounds jet sweeps.

566
00:27:14,200 –> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Another one was a mcole Hartman jet sweep. So maybe

567
00:27:17,480 –> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: you get some explosive runs as well. What was the

568
00:27:20,800 –> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: beginning again in Portuguese? I hope you wrote it down

569
00:27:23,080 –> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 1: because I’ve already forgotten. Okay, so hold on, I got it.

570
00:27:25,920 –> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: O comeso, cameso, comeso. Mariam’s nodding her head. Okay, comeso.

571
00:27:30,720 –> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: Miriam is our South American consultant. Yeah yeah, not only

572
00:27:34,960 –> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: does she is shooting this, she’s our consultant. She’s lived

573
00:27:39,320 –> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: in most the South American countries. So okemeso, okemeso. She’s

574
00:27:42,600 –> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: actually never been to Argentina, but she is Argentinian, So okay,

575
00:27:45,800 –> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: that counts. Ok. If I say I’m a Chilean but

576
00:27:50,119 –> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 1: I haven’t been to Chile, do’s that count Well?

577
00:27:51,880 –> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: It’s just like before you went to Germany. You have

578
00:27:53,880 –> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: German heritage, but you’re not. You don’t haven’t been there,

579
00:27:56,440 –> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: but maybe you have a connection to it, you know.

580
00:27:59,760 –> 00:28:04,479
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okamesakemesa, let’s start this season. Here we go

581
00:28:04,680 –> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: right here.

582
00:28:08,800 –> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: Mm hmm
