12
00:00:41,080 –> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are trending for a lot of reasons, okay,

13
00:00:44,840 –> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: but now they try to get a third win in

14
00:00:46,720 –> 00:00:49,400

Speaker 1: history of this franchise. The Chiefs head to New Jersey

Speaker 1: to take on the New York Jets. Mitch Holtis with

22
00:01:12,880 –> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: you voice the Chiefs along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen.

23
00:01:16,319 –> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: We are going to explore the unselfishness of the Kansas

24
00:01:20,240 –> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: City Chiefs and the unselfishness of this Chief’s offense. Were

25
00:01:24,120 –> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: calling this, We’re calling this all aboard because everybody’s getting

26
00:01:28,760 –> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: a piece of this. But before we do that, Matt,

27
00:01:30,760 –> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: let’s go around the world.

28
00:01:31,840 –> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 3: Let’s do it so I have five for you, once again,

29
00:01:34,160 –> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: trying to get into a bit of a rhythm doing

30
00:01:35,800 –> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: five every week. I promise I’ll get to everyone.

31
00:01:38,160 –> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: In honor of Tommy Townsend’s fifty five yard punt that

32
00:01:41,080 –> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: went out of bounds by number five at the three

33
00:01:43,120 –> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: yard line.

34
00:01:43,520 –> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: And what’s so crazy about that is the Chief’s offense

35
00:01:45,920 –> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: was awesome on Sunday, right, but they punted on their

36
00:01:48,600 –> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: first possession. All of a sudden, Tommy pens the Bears

37
00:01:51,520 –> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: at their own three yard line. They can’t get anything going,

38
00:01:54,080 –> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: and the Chief’s offense after that was unstoppable. But yeah,

39
00:01:56,760 –> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 3: I’m incredible. Punt by Tommy five in honor of him.

40
00:02:00,200 –> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 3: So we have James reporting from Washington, his area is

41
00:02:03,960 –> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: the home of the Tulip Festival in Washington. He’s originally

42
00:02:07,520 –> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: though from Kirksville, Missouri, where my grandma is from.

43
00:02:10,160 –> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: But he’s not Washington, Kansas or Washington, Missouri. He’s Washington state,

44
00:02:13,680 –> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: state home of the Tulip Festival. Damien is from Nasau

45
00:02:17,639 –> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 1: Bahama’s beautiful place. I went there a few years ago.

46
00:02:20,639 –> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Carson is from Hutchinson, Kansas. Talks yeah, or the Buler Crusaders,

47
00:02:25,680 –> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 1: or the Nickerson Panthers, or the Central Christian Cougars or

48
00:02:29,000 –> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: the Trinity Celtics.

49
00:02:29,840 –> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: Well, I’m gonna test you on this one, Okay. Steven

50
00:02:32,480 –> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: is from Hillsboro, Missouri, home of the Hillsborough Kansas.

51
00:02:37,000 –> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: The Trojans. Do you know this one? I mean Hillsborough, Missouri.

52
00:02:45,120 –> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: I don’t know Tiger’s Trojans.

53
00:02:46,840 –> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: It’s alliterative.

54
00:02:47,760 –> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: That helps the Highlanders, the Hawks, the Hawks home of

55
00:02:51,440 –> 00:02:52,519
Speaker 1: the Hawksboral Hawks.

56
00:02:52,880 –> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: And lastly, we have a listener in Commerce, California. There

57
00:02:56,280 –> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: we go.

58
00:02:56,680 –> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: Very good. There’s another one and he was reaching out.

59
00:02:59,320 –> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: He’s done it on Twitter a couple of times. James

60
00:03:02,040 –> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: Rosenberg in the Sahara Desert.

61
00:03:04,680 –> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 3: That’s awesome.

62
00:03:05,480 –> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: In the he’s claiming the Sahara Desert for the chief Kingdom.

63
00:03:09,400 –> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: So go get him and he says it’s like a

64
00:03:11,840 –> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: like the border of Morocco and Algeria. And then last

65
00:03:14,960 –> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: night at the Chiefs Kingdom Show, a guy named Don

66
00:03:17,320 –> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: Legerski showed up from Cheyenne, Wyoming. He’s been a lifelong

67
00:03:21,880 –> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs fan, never been to Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

68
00:03:25,280 –> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: He had to go, so he came to the Bears game,

69
00:03:27,320 –> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: then came to the Kingdom show. He listens to defending Kingdom,

70
00:03:30,200 –> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: all of them every word. So a shout out to

71
00:03:32,360 –> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: Don Lagursky, which is a you know, my my younger

72
00:03:35,240 –> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: brother and I would play football out on the farm.

73
00:03:37,120 –> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: You’d make up names or this is like a Madden.

74
00:03:38,880 –> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Let’s make up a name for Madden, right, the two

75
00:03:40,880 –> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: hundred ninety five pound running back that runs a three

76
00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: to five. It would be Don Legerski. You know it

77
00:03:46,520 –> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: feels like that. So anyway, shout out to our folks

78
00:03:49,880 –> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: around the world. It’s awesome. This episode is all aboard.

79
00:03:53,400 –> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: And what’s amazing is how the Kansas City Chiefs are

80
00:03:56,320 –> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: so unselfish, both offensively and defensively. But the way they

81
00:04:01,320 –> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: spread the ball around and you’re gonna want to be

82
00:04:03,360 –> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: with us later in this podcast because we will have

83
00:04:05,960 –> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: the Jet himself, Jerick McKinnon. What better guy to have

84
00:04:09,440 –> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: on against the Jets than the Jet himself. He is

85
00:04:12,760 –> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: the epitome mat of unselfishness.

86
00:04:14,520 –> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 3: He’s been unbelievable. I mentioned the stat a bit later

87
00:04:17,000 –> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: when we talk to Jeric, but this is truly mind blowing.

88
00:04:20,400 –> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: Since Week thirteen of last year just nine games. Okay,

89
00:04:23,760 –> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: not including the playoffs, that would be unfair. Since Week

90
00:04:26,120 –> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: thirteen of last year in the regular season, Jerick McKinnon

91
00:04:29,400 –> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: leads the NFL in touchdown catches with ten. The next

92
00:04:32,560 –> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: closest players have seven. It’s DeVante Adams, George Kittle and

93
00:04:36,240 –> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: Tyreek Kill. Jack McKinnon’s been unbelievable. But it’s more than

94
00:04:39,320 –> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 3: just the touchdowns. He’s an incredible pass blocker. We talk

95
00:04:42,240 –> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: about that later with Jeric as well. And also, of

96
00:04:45,080 –> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 3: course the most unselfish play in Super Bowl history sliding

97
00:04:48,839 –> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 3: at the one yard line where he could have scored,

98
00:04:50,720 –> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: but he had the wherewithal to not score and secure

99
00:04:53,240 –> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 3: the victory for the Chiefs. Just an amazing guy. I

100
00:04:56,040 –> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: call him the sneaky MVP of this team. Over the

101
00:04:58,680 –> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: last three seasons, so well spoken and means man just

102
00:05:02,200 –> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: exactly that. I mean hard not to get emotional when

103
00:05:04,880 –> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: I think about him sliding at the one. All of

104
00:05:07,279 –> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 3: it will be in the stat sheet forever, will be

105
00:05:10,000 –> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: just like an eight yard run, no touchdown. But we

106
00:05:13,080 –> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 3: all know what it meant, and it meant a Super

107
00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: Bowl championship. Here’s another stat for you, and so far

108
00:05:18,640 –> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: this year, the Chiefs have had at least eleven pass

109
00:05:21,400 –> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 3: catchers in two different games. Since the beginning of twenty

110
00:05:24,600 –> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: twenty two, that has happened for the Chiefs five times.

111
00:05:28,560 –> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: Now you’re ready for this. The rest of the league

112
00:05:31,240 –> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: combined thirty one teams have done it combined three times.

113
00:05:36,120 –> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have done it themselves five times, including throwing

114
00:05:39,400 –> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: to an offensive tackle because Donovan Smith had a catch, like,

115
00:05:43,040 –> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: I’m glad they didn’t strip him with the ball, but

116
00:05:45,080 –> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: still it’s crazy the way the Chiefs distribute the football.

117
00:05:48,720 –> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: The best part about that Donovan Smith catch is because

118
00:05:51,360 –> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: the Jags declined the penalty, it counts. I thought that

119
00:05:55,080 –> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: penalty had a loss of down. I guess it doesn’t.

120
00:05:57,279 –> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: No, it doesn’t.

121
00:05:58,080 –> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, So they decline the penalty because it was on

122
00:06:00,440 –> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: third down and it gained nothing because he was tackled

123
00:06:03,040 –> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: on the play, but the catch counts. So even though

124
00:06:05,839 –> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 3: Donovan Smith was an illegal receiver on the play, he

125
00:06:09,360 –> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 3: has a catch now in his career. I love it

126
00:06:10,920 –> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: because he wasn’t expecting it obviously, but he just caught

127
00:06:13,240 –> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: it like no problem, and he’s like what and then

128
00:06:15,240 –> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: he gets tackled, But yeah, he has a catch now

129
00:06:17,600 –> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: in his career. But Patrick Mahomes has talked about this

130
00:06:21,200 –> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 3: in each of the last two off seasons when everyone’s

131
00:06:23,920 –> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 3: asking who’s your number one guy going to be outside

132
00:06:26,040 –> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: of Travis Kelce, and he always says it’s going to

133
00:06:27,920 –> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: be everyone. And he keeps showing that in the last

134
00:06:31,400 –> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: couple of years where he’s truly going to spread the

135
00:06:33,120 –> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: football all over the place. And I think already through

136
00:06:36,000 –> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: three games, we’re seeing a lot of growth from this

137
00:06:37,720 –> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: receiver corps. Rashie Rice should have had two touchdowns on Sunday.

138
00:06:41,400 –> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 3: He was so close. He was like a combined three

139
00:06:43,400 –> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 3: inches away from having two touchdowns against the Bears. Last

140
00:06:46,720 –> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: week he had five catches for fifty nine yards. He

141
00:06:49,839 –> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 3: looked really good at times, and sky Moore I think

142
00:06:52,440 –> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: is really coming along as well. Of course, against the Jags.

143
00:06:55,360 –> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: He had that huge reception to seal the game. Basically

144
00:06:57,720 –> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: the fifty four yarder also had a touchdown against the Jags.

145
00:07:01,040 –> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 3: Then last week he had four catches for forty two yards.

146
00:07:03,360 –> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: I’m loving what I’m seeing here from the Chiefs wide

147
00:07:05,240 –> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: receiver corps as they continue to grow in this offense.

148
00:07:07,760 –> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I’m going to get to that, and we’ll get

149
00:07:09,200 –> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: to that a little bit more. But I figured this up.

150
00:07:11,520 –> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: Of the eligible receivers who could have caught a pass

151
00:07:15,400 –> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: in the first three weeks of the season, there’s only

152
00:07:18,160 –> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: three who didn’t. One of those is Patrick Mahomes. Now

153
00:07:21,280 –> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: there was a lateral but the double pass from McKinnon,

154
00:07:24,280 –> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: but it’s behind the line of scrimmage. I didn’t count

155
00:07:26,120 –> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: as a pass. Blaine Gabbert, Okay, we didn’t throw to him.

156
00:07:29,800 –> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: And then Montreal Washington. He was eligible last week to

157
00:07:33,040 –> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: catch a pass. He didn’t, But hey, who knows. If

158
00:07:35,640 –> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: he’s the returner this week, why not give him? And

159
00:07:37,960 –> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Coach talked about him actually on the Kingdom Show on

160
00:07:40,560 –> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: Monday night. I said, you know, Montreal was a heck

161
00:07:42,360 –> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: of a receiver at Samford, so hang on. And last

162
00:07:46,520 –> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: year the Chiefs were on the cusp. You and I

163
00:07:48,360 –> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: we were waiting every week, okay, because they were on

164
00:07:52,480 –> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: the cusp of having the most people catch a touchdown

165
00:07:56,520 –> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: pass in a single season, and the Chiefs were right there.

166
00:08:00,080 –> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 3: They’re right there, and maybe it will happen this year

167
00:08:02,400 –> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 3: as it keep spreading the football around. A fun stat

168
00:08:05,280 –> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: for you, six players on the Chiefs have at least

169
00:08:07,880 –> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: ten targets so far this year. Travis Kelce, Roshie, Rice

170
00:08:11,560 –> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: sky Moore, Justin Watson, Kadarius Tony, and Noah Gray and

171
00:08:14,880 –> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: several guys are sitting at like nine targets right now.

172
00:08:18,280 –> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: Only two other teams have more players with double digit

173
00:08:21,960 –> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: targets this year than Kansas City. And that’s why this offense,

174
00:08:25,120 –> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: we saw it in prime form against the Bears last week.

175
00:08:28,360 –> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: They’re so difficult to defend because you can count on

176
00:08:30,480 –> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: so many different players to make plays in big moments.

177
00:08:33,840 –> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 3: And I again just think as they continue to grow

178
00:08:35,720 –> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 3: throughout the season, we’ll see his offense exponentially get better

179
00:08:38,600 –> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 3: and better. And maybe when there’s like a third and

180
00:08:40,880 –> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 3: nine at a crucial moment in a game sometime later

181
00:08:43,880 –> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: this season, the defense doesn’t know where the ball’s going

182
00:08:46,480 –> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: because numerous players in this offense have experience coming through

183
00:08:49,520 –> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 3: in the clutch in those moments.

184
00:08:51,720 –> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: But it’s also why Matt and I continually warn you

185
00:08:54,880 –> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: because most of the folks that are watching or listening

186
00:08:57,520 –> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: to this podcast around the world play fantasy football in

187
00:09:01,440 –> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: some way, shape or form. The Chiefs will drive you

188
00:09:05,280 –> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: crazy if you’re trying to play fantasy football with one

189
00:09:08,720 –> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: of their guys other than Mahomes maybe Kelse okay, because

190
00:09:12,600 –> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: you do not know whodo’s going to be week after week.

191
00:09:16,320 –> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: It could be mvs this week, or it could be

192
00:09:19,000 –> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Sky Moore and I like what you said about him growing.

193
00:09:21,160 –> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: We’ll get into that later in the podcast. But the

194
00:09:23,520 –> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: fact is you do not know. Now for fantasy football,

195
00:09:27,480 –> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: that’s rough. For reality football, it’s rough. For the opposing

196
00:09:31,559 –> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: team’s defensive coordinators, you have no idea who’s going to

197
00:09:34,800 –> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: be involved.

198
00:09:35,400 –> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: And for those of you that’s stuck with Jack McKennon

199
00:09:37,280 –> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: in your flex spot this week, he rewarded you with

200
00:09:39,440 –> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 3: two touchdown catches. If you’re like in a PPR league,

201
00:09:42,040 –> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: that’s pretty nice.

202
00:09:43,360 –> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: You know what, he might be the guy you would

203
00:09:45,160 –> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: keep right there.

204
00:09:46,520 –> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: You just know, I have ten touchdown catches since Week

205
00:09:48,480 –> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: thirteen of last year. It’s nuts.

206
00:09:49,960 –> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: But here’s the thing. If Jerik can we’re talking me

207
00:09:51,920 –> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: in a second here. If he doesn’t get it, he

208
00:09:55,120 –> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: doesn’t mind. There’s nobody clamoring for the football in this

209
00:09:59,760 –> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: off and I just think the Kingdom needs to realize

210
00:10:02,800 –> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: how rare that is also in this day and age

211
00:10:05,400 –> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: in the National Football League, that somebody’s not chirp and

212
00:10:08,320 –> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: I’ve got to have twelve targets. I’ve got to have

213
00:10:11,440 –> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: You’ve got to get me the ball. And we’ve seen

214
00:10:13,480 –> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: this throughout the league. That does not exist here. And

215
00:10:17,040 –> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 1: that’s part of the reason why this team has been

216
00:10:19,080 –> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: a consistent winner with Patrick Mahomes over the last four

217
00:10:22,040 –> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: to five years.

218
00:10:22,720 –> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 3: And that really begins with Patrick and with Travis Kelce,

219
00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 3: two guys who are future Pro Football Hall of Famers,

220
00:10:27,840 –> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 3: the two very best in the NFL at what they do,

221
00:10:30,559 –> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: and they’re two of the most unselfish people I’ve ever

222
00:10:33,280 –> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: been around. Truly. All they care about is winning. They

223
00:10:35,679 –> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 3: just want to win. And when your two best players

224
00:10:37,880 –> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: permeate that mentality, if you’re a young receiver coming into

225
00:10:41,040 –> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: the NFL, you see that and you’re like, all right,

226
00:10:43,400 –> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 3: winning means everything here, and if I just do my part.

227
00:10:47,200 –> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: That’s one thing that guys in both offense and defense

228
00:10:49,440 –> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: talk about all the time is doing their one eleventh.

229
00:10:51,800 –> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: If I do my part, we’re going to have a

230
00:10:53,440 –> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 3: great chance to be a really good team and to

231
00:10:55,120 –> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 3: maybe win the Super Bowl and all memories forever. And

232
00:10:58,240 –> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: we’ve seen that in years past. And bring guys into

233
00:11:00,920 –> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: this culture that we’ve built now, it’s really cool to

234
00:11:03,160 –> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: see how they respond to it and how they grow

235
00:11:04,880 –> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: within it.

236
00:11:06,040 –> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: Another epitome of that is the guy that has shown

237
00:11:08,760 –> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: courage to come back from two knee surgeries. They thought

238
00:11:11,240 –> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: his career was done. He was good with the Vikings,

239
00:11:13,840 –> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: really good San Francisco, had never got off the ground.

240
00:11:16,520 –> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: He’s been phenomenal here. And yes, we’re playing the Jets,

241
00:11:19,800 –> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: so let’s talk to Jeric McKinnon. What’s the best way

242
00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: to beat the Jets? Put the jet on the jet

243
00:11:26,960 –> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: to go play the Jets. It is the Sprayberry Yellow

244
00:11:29,640 –> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Jacket himself from Spraybury High School in Georgia, the Jet.

245
00:11:33,480 –> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: Jeric McKinnon. Awesome to have you with us on the podcast.

246
00:11:36,720 –> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 4: Appreciate you all for having men be a good one.

247
00:11:39,160 –> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: This is what a week to have you on because

248
00:11:42,280 –> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: you got back into the end zone last week with

249
00:11:44,400 –> 00:11:46,839
Speaker 1: the two touchdowns. What was it like to get back

250
00:11:46,880 –> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: in there and taste the sweet nectar?

251
00:11:48,760 –> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 4: I felt good, you know, anyway you can contribute, especially

252
00:11:51,920 –> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 4: to it a win, you know, just a blessing, a

253
00:11:55,280 –> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 4: blessing to be a partist team, be a blessing coach

254
00:11:58,840 –> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 4: by these coaches, and no go on this tremendous journey

255
00:12:04,320 –> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 4: for another one in front of the super Bowl.

256
00:12:06,559 –> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: So, Mitch, going back to week thirteen of last year,

257
00:12:09,400 –> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: so nine regular season games, not including the playoffs. It’s

258
00:12:12,120 –> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: week thirteen to now. This guy is the most receiving

259
00:12:15,200 –> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: touchdowns in the NFL. Did you know that? Yes, you

260
00:12:17,800 –> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: have ten receiving touchdowns since Week thirteen of last year.

261
00:12:20,679 –> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: We can’t stump it, man.

262
00:12:21,720 –> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, people are sending me all these crazy like little

263
00:12:24,559 –> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: articles in Effects, so yeah, they give me updated a

264
00:12:27,160 –> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 4: little bit.

265
00:12:27,720 –> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 3: But the closest players, Tyreek, DeVante, Adams, and George Kittle

266
00:12:32,040 –> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: are all tied with seven in that span. You have

267
00:12:34,080 –> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: three more than the next closest player.

268
00:12:35,920 –> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 4: I love those guys. Yeah, I played with two of

269
00:12:37,960 –> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: them now put against DeVante quite a bit. So to

270
00:12:41,000 –> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 4: be in that category, mintion with those guys is definitely

271
00:12:43,720 –> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 4: a blessing.

272
00:12:44,400 –> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, well it’s been awesome man. And of course two

273
00:12:47,679 –> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 3: on Sunday, Just how does it feel to be the

274
00:12:49,960 –> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: guy that’s been in the end zone more than just

275
00:12:51,360 –> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: about anyone else over the last nine months.

276
00:12:55,240 –> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 4: I don’t really think about it too much, you know.

277
00:12:58,559 –> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: For me is just you know, finding a way to

278
00:13:01,360 –> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 4: make an impact on the game. You know where there’s offense,

279
00:13:04,920 –> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 4: special teams, you know, a block, whatever it is. So

280
00:13:10,120 –> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: you know, I can’t argue with touchdowns, defin cant argue that,

281
00:13:13,280 –> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: but anyway to contribute and help, Like I said, it’s

282
00:13:15,920 –> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 4: a blessing.

283
00:13:17,240 –> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: Man. I got to tell you a story. It was

284
00:13:18,559 –> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: during the NFL Draft and there’s you know, there was

285
00:13:21,120 –> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: a national stuff going on here and I was at

286
00:13:23,360 –> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: it with a group and a graduate of Georgia Southern

287
00:13:25,720 –> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: came up and he said, well, we haven’t had in

288
00:13:27,360 –> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: many NFL guys. We sure don’t have many quarterbacks. He go,

289
00:13:29,600 –> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: whoa woa stop And I had to show him your highlights, Yes,

290
00:13:33,120 –> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: like here’s one of your own man at Georgia Southern Eagle.

291
00:13:35,520 –> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: But your background and how much that help you, especially

292
00:13:38,280 –> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: in the fact that you mentioned journey and it has

293
00:13:40,720 –> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: been quite a journey for you, two knee surgeries. Some

294
00:13:44,160 –> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: people thinking, well he had a good run, but he’s

295
00:13:46,559 –> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: and now you’re flourishing. Yeah, why how in your background?

296
00:13:50,640 –> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: How much did it.

297
00:13:51,240 –> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 4: Help you the quarterbackackground, any of it? The quarterback you know,

298
00:13:56,960 –> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 4: in college? It just really helped me understand you know,

299
00:14:02,040 –> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 4: I guess you could say schemes and you know, the

300
00:14:04,160 –> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: overall structure of an offense. It wasn’t as complex, of course,

301
00:14:08,960 –> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 4: but anytime you can know what you know the next

302
00:14:12,640 –> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 4: man is doing, it definitely helps you know, you play

303
00:14:15,120 –> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 4: faster and on another level. And then you know, just

304
00:14:18,320 –> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: to comment on the knee surgeries, tough time, but you

305
00:14:22,760 –> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 4: know it’s a besting in disguise. You know, we all

306
00:14:25,720 –> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: go things for a reason, right, And I didn’t really

307
00:14:29,800 –> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 4: know how it would shape up or you know, what

308
00:14:31,280 –> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 4: would happen next. But I remember after the second one,

309
00:14:37,160 –> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 4: very emotional, and I’m just like, you know, if I

310
00:14:38,880 –> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 4: get another chance, whatever it is, like, this is what

311
00:14:42,120 –> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 4: it’s gonna be. Wherever team I’m mom, they’re gonna get

312
00:14:44,840 –> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 4: everything and then we’ll just we’ll go from there, take

313
00:14:47,000 –> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 4: it a day at a time. Got the car from

314
00:14:49,440 –> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: Kansas City and like you said, everything else has just

315
00:14:53,480 –> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: been next page, next page, being able to have some

316
00:14:57,480 –> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: great success here do some great things. So it’s all

Speaker 4: a blessing and it’s all it’s all coming, all coming

318
00:15:03,520 –> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: to the forefront. All the work that I put in,

319
00:15:07,120 –> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: you know, all the long nights, long mornings, all of

320
00:15:11,600 –> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 4: it is just really just starting to Its just showing,

321
00:15:14,200 –> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 4: you know, the work that I put in, everything I

322
00:15:16,560 –> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: put it into, it is showing and everybody’s seeing it,

323
00:15:19,160 –> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: and you know, it’s a greatful.

324
00:15:21,240 –> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 3: We just need Coachry to dial up a passing play

325
00:15:23,480 –> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: touchdown for you right where you’re throwing the ball, because

326
00:15:25,520 –> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: you threw the ball last week. Back to Patrick, Yes

327
00:15:28,440 –> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 3: you can throw the ball, Like, are you waiting for

328
00:15:29,760 –> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 3: that opportunity.

329
00:15:30,480 –> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 4: Now it’s coming?

330
00:15:31,480 –> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I’m looking forward to its coming.

331
00:15:34,240 –> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 4: I hope it’s coming.

332
00:15:36,840 –> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: So the theme on this podcast is about unselfishness. The

333
00:15:40,800 –> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: fourteen different dudes have already caught passes, including offensive tackle

334
00:15:44,160 –> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: right Donovan Catches.

335
00:15:45,440 –> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 4: One of those guys can catch you. Just on Friday

336
00:15:47,160 –> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: at practice.

337
00:15:47,760 –> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: I’m just glad he held onto the ball because the

338
00:15:49,720 –> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: Jags trying to knock it out of him there. But anyway,

339
00:15:52,680 –> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: the fact that the unselfish nature of this team you had.

340
00:15:57,560 –> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: And I think as long as the Lord gives Matt

341
00:15:59,480 –> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: and me Oxen on this earth, we will talk about

342
00:16:02,120 –> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: the play that people will forget about down through the

343
00:16:05,640 –> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: years and maybe the most unselfish play in the history

344
00:16:09,360 –> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl. You sliding down at the one,

345
00:16:13,480 –> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: You’re not going to be in the score book. But

346
00:16:15,040 –> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: except they’ll be like an eight yard run.

347
00:16:16,720 –> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it’s a good average.

348
00:16:19,560 –> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: But the fact that play and the fact that you

349
00:16:23,840 –> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: didn’t score, but it was the greatest maybe non score

350
00:16:27,840 –> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: in Super Bowl history and one of the greatest walk

351
00:16:29,880 –> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: us through that the fact that I’m going to be unselfish.

352
00:16:32,080 –> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 4: Here, oh the player, all.

353
00:16:34,520 –> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: Of it, man, and just your heart, your heart to go.

354
00:16:37,160 –> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: I’ll go and slip in here. We’ll defend seven points.

355
00:16:39,440 –> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, the mode that we were in was church mode.

356
00:16:43,480 –> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: So church moods get down at the two, you know,

357
00:16:48,360 –> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 4: keep the ball and you know, waste the clock and

358
00:16:50,880 –> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: then give the opposing team as less time as possible. So, uh,

359
00:16:55,560 –> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: you know, we had a huddle. Impact costs Church more

360
00:16:57,240 –> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: and I’m like, okay, Church will normally be caught church molding.

361
00:17:00,920 –> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 4: It never gets to the two. So I’m like, all right,

362
00:17:03,920 –> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 4: we’ll just see what happens. Got to play blacking was

363
00:17:08,320 –> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 4: was great, got around the corner and I’m like, oh,

364
00:17:11,280 –> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 4: we’re really about to do this right now. So I

365
00:17:14,560 –> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 4: slid at the two and I’m just like, wow, that

366
00:17:17,000 –> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 4: really happened. They happened all year to the very last game.

367
00:17:21,680 –> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: But man, let’s be honest, you’re sliding. You get to

368
00:17:24,840 –> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: the last blade of grass, real close.

369
00:17:28,480 –> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 4: It because life was holding his breath, Chris Repoter was

370
00:17:31,880 –> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 4: holding his breath. I was like, just don’t go in

371
00:17:34,040 –> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: because if I go in, eb is going to have

372
00:17:37,480 –> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 4: some words for me at the sideline. So I’m just

373
00:17:40,560 –> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: gonna get down and make it as close as possible.

374
00:17:44,000 –> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 4: So that’s really what happened. And then as far as

375
00:17:46,760 –> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 4: the unselfishness, it’s just like you know, of course, as

376
00:17:50,240 –> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 4: you know competitors in this game, we all want to

377
00:17:53,680 –> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 4: you know, have success and you know, have certain accolades

378
00:17:57,800 –> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: and you know things. You know, we work hard, that’s

379
00:17:59,640 –> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 4: what we do. But the main goal is it’s a

380
00:18:02,640 –> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: team sport. So you know, like I said, super Bowl

381
00:18:08,119 –> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 4: is better than any individual accolade that I could possibly have.

382
00:18:13,160 –> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 4: So for me then be in that moment embrace that

383
00:18:15,760 –> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 4: moment and you know, like I said, go through everything

384
00:18:18,720 –> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 4: that I went through with the knee and the comebacks

385
00:18:21,119 –> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 4: and all that stuff, and then right there at the

386
00:18:23,280 –> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: end be able to do that. It was an amazing feeling.

387
00:18:26,440 –> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 4: And you know, celebrating after my teammates. I have to

388
00:18:30,280 –> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: putting all that work in at Saint Joe’s throughout the year,

389
00:18:33,920 –> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 4: facing all the adversary we faced, and then you know,

390
00:18:36,440 –> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 4: being able to hold a super Bowl trophy.

391
00:18:37,760 –> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: That’s what it’s all about. What it’s all about, right there,

392
00:18:39,960 –> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: Matt and I will tell that story though as long

393
00:18:42,240 –> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: as we can. Yeah.

394
00:18:43,880 –> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: Now, you talked about how you love helping this team

395
00:18:46,119 –> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 3: win in a variety of ways. I’m going to give

396
00:18:48,320 –> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 3: you this or that. Okay, would you rather have like

397
00:18:52,160 –> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: a third and seventeen like there was against San Francisco

398
00:18:54,520 –> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 3: last year where it’s a quick little screen you pick

399
00:18:56,440 –> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 3: up the first down and Nick Bosas like, you gotta

400
00:18:58,160 –> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 3: be kidding me, man.

401
00:18:59,040 –> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 4: It depends on the team because that was a little different.

402
00:19:01,840 –> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 3: Well, fair enough, but here here’s the other one for you.

403
00:19:04,760 –> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 3: Or like against the Raiders last year when you flip

404
00:19:06,960 –> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 3: Divine Diablo over in pass protection? Yes, and Pat there’s

405
00:19:10,000 –> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: a touchdown. Which of those do you prefer the past?

406
00:19:13,080 –> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 4: Blocking?

407
00:19:13,600 –> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: Okay, I love it.

408
00:19:15,320 –> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 4: I’m not the biggest dude. I’m not the biggest dude

409
00:19:17,119 –> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: in the room, so I take it past him. I’ll

410
00:19:19,080 –> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 4: take a great pride in my past. Bro is something

411
00:19:22,640 –> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 4: that I’ve never done in college, and I had to

412
00:19:25,200 –> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 4: really focus and hone in when I came into the

413
00:19:27,560 –> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 4: league on So I take a lot of pride in that.

414
00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, I’m definitely going with the past, Bron. You

415
00:19:32,280 –> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: get that any day.

416
00:19:33,280 –> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 3: Flipped him over. He’s like, yeah, he probably has like

417
00:19:35,640 –> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: fifty pounds on you. No big deal.

418
00:19:36,920 –> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 4: You got to set the tongue. These guys as big

419
00:19:39,000 –> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 4: as they try to be bullies, you got to set

420
00:19:40,320 –> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: the tongue.

421
00:19:41,200 –> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: I love it.

422
00:19:42,240 –> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: Spray Berry. You need to be proud of one of

423
00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: your greatest alums. I know in the Chiefs Kingdom we’re

424
00:19:46,680 –> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: very proud of him. Jerick McKinnon. It’s a good week

425
00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: to talk to the Jet when you play the Jets.

426
00:19:52,080 –> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: So this edition of Defending the Kingdom and thanks to

427
00:19:54,560 –> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: Jerich McKinnon. What what a remarkable dude that guy is.

428
00:19:57,800 –> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: I love that guy.

429
00:19:58,600 –> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 3: He’s awesome to me. He epitomizes the mentality of this team,

430
00:20:02,680 –> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: and I think it’s so cool the mindset that he’s

431
00:20:04,920 –> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 3: had throughout his career where started off great, had some

432
00:20:08,480 –> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: things that were out of his control happened, but it

433
00:20:10,480 –> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 3: didn’t deter him, didn’t end his journey by any means.

434
00:20:13,840 –> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 3: He found a home here in Kansas City, and man,

435
00:20:15,960 –> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: he’s making the most of it for sure.

436
00:20:17,760 –> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: And I’m glad I got to redirect that Georgia Southern

437
00:20:20,200 –> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: alum at the NFL Draft downtown. It’s like, dude, you

438
00:20:23,119 –> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: got Jeric McKennon, a Super Bowl champion from your school.

439
00:20:26,640 –> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: All right, let’s just talk a little bit here, and

440
00:20:28,240 –> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: this edition is called all Aboard. Think about the old movies,

441
00:20:31,960 –> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: right with the old train all aboard, But we’re righting

442
00:20:35,000 –> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: the Jet to play the Jets. But still this is

443
00:20:37,680 –> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: a Jets team. Let’s talk about the chiefs un selfishness

444
00:20:40,960 –> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: here and what’s going to be required of all of

445
00:20:42,800 –> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: the past catchers against this New York team, Because if

446
00:20:46,920 –> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: you’re going to look at how the Jets could spring

447
00:20:49,600 –> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: an upset here on Sunday Night football, it would be

448
00:20:52,320 –> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: fueled by their defense, much as it was against the

449
00:20:55,240 –> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. In Week one, they forced Josh Allen into

450
00:20:58,160 –> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: five turnovers. US catchers this week, Jeric McKinnon and everybody

451
00:21:02,720 –> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: else who’s going to be eligible to catch a pass

452
00:21:04,880 –> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: and we know that the ball is going to come

453
00:21:07,000 –> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: their way at one time or another, has to deal

454
00:21:10,840 –> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: with a very aggressive defense in a group that has

455
00:21:14,680 –> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: been I’ll just put it this way, it’s the best

456
00:21:17,160 –> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: back seven the Chiefs will have played so far this year,

457
00:21:19,960 –> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: and their secondary is really good, led by Sauce Gardner.

458
00:21:23,359 –> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, this Jets defense is really, really good. It’s one

459
00:21:26,000 –> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 3: of the reasons that the Jets felt that they can

460
00:21:28,160 –> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: go out and add Aaron Rodgers and have a real

461
00:21:29,880 –> 00:21:32,159
Speaker 3: shot at the Super Bowl is the play of their defense,

462
00:21:32,200 –> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: and they’ve been pretty good so far this year, particularly

463
00:21:34,920 –> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 3: in Week one. Now, looking at the Chiefs offensively, what

464
00:21:38,880 –> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: was different about Week three compared to Week one and two. Well,

465
00:21:41,960 –> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 3: we got rid of all the self inflicted stuff. That’s

466
00:21:43,880 –> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: what we were hoping for, that we would see this

467
00:21:45,640 –> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: offense go out and be efficient and effective and do

468
00:21:47,800 –> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: what we know they can do without playing behind the

469
00:21:50,000 –> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: chains constantly or turning the football over look. At the

470
00:21:52,800 –> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 3: Jacksonville game, the Chiefs had twelve penalties in that game,

471
00:21:56,080 –> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 3: constantly behind the sticks and they had three giveaways. Now

472
00:21:59,119 –> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 3: they won, which is testament to them and their mentality

473
00:22:02,080 –> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: as a championship team. But it’s very difficult to win

474
00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 3: football games against good teams when you’re doing that. The

475
00:22:07,680 –> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 3: game against Chicago was a total opposite. It’s exactly what

476
00:22:09,920 –> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 3: we wanted to see. It was a game where they

477
00:22:11,880 –> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 3: really weren’t penalized much at all. They went right up

478
00:22:14,880 –> 00:22:18,239
Speaker 3: and down the field after that opening punt on their

479
00:22:18,240 –> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 3: first drive. They had seven straight scoring drives going into

480
00:22:21,920 –> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 3: the third quarter until Patrick Mahomes and a bunch of

481
00:22:23,840 –> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: the starters came out, and that included five touchdown drives.

482
00:22:27,160 –> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: They’re super efficient. They’re ten of fourteen on third down,

483
00:22:30,040 –> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 3: five of five in the red zone, and that’s important

484
00:22:32,920 –> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: because this Jets defense has been kind of like a

485
00:22:34,640 –> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 3: bin but don’t break kind of defense. This year. They’re

486
00:22:37,520 –> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: number eleven scoring defense in the NFL. They’re twentieth in

487
00:22:40,600 –> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 3: yards allowed, twenty first on third down, but as the

488
00:22:43,640 –> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 3: number four red zone defense in the NFL. So for

489
00:22:47,000 –> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 3: the Chiefs in this game, don’t shoot yourself in the

490
00:22:49,400 –> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: foot because this Jets defense will make you pay. But

491
00:22:52,200 –> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: love what I saw last week. Let’s keep that rolling

492
00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: here into this game.

493
00:22:54,880 –> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: But all of these pass catchers from McKinnon all the

494
00:22:57,200 –> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: way through the list of eleven or twelve or thirteen

495
00:22:59,600 –> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: eligible for this game, we’ll have to deal with a

496
00:23:02,240 –> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: physical group. Chicago played a lot of his own guys

497
00:23:05,160 –> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: were getting free releases and able to do. But the

498
00:23:08,560 –> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs did an excellent job of recognizing that. We saw

499
00:23:11,840 –> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: it with Rashi Rice, we saw it with Sky Moore.

500
00:23:14,720 –> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: I love the way that you mentioned his ascension here.

501
00:23:18,560 –> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: His play against Jacksonville at the pylon for the touchdown

502
00:23:22,080 –> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: is not a scheme play. I’m not rubbing him open

503
00:23:24,600 –> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: like corn Dog. He’s got to make a play on

504
00:23:27,160 –> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: a back shoulder throw. Awesome throw by Pat. But that’s

505
00:23:29,880 –> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: a step forward for Sky to make that play and

506
00:23:32,440 –> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: get a touchdown in the red zone. Now it’ll be

507
00:23:34,960 –> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: even harder to do this week. I’ll tell you who

508
00:23:36,920 –> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: else is having a heck of a year. Two guys

509
00:23:39,080 –> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: in that secondary that are physical and tough and want

510
00:23:41,240 –> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: to rip the ball out from your flesh is Jordan Whitehead.

511
00:23:44,960 –> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: We saw him in Super Bowl fifty five with the

512
00:23:47,600 –> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers playing exactly that right and He had

513
00:23:51,520 –> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: three interceptions so far this year in one game basically

514
00:23:55,240 –> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: the other is a case stater DJ Reid who came

515
00:23:58,200 –> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: over to the Jets. They picked him up. Remember there’s

516
00:24:00,920 –> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: a lot of San Francisco defensive field to this team

517
00:24:03,960 –> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: because of Robert Sala and DJ Reid came over and

518
00:24:08,320 –> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: is a heck of a player and a great compliment

519
00:24:10,359 –> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: to Sauce Gardner, who was the Rookie Defensive Player of

520
00:24:12,960 –> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: the Year last year. In the entire National Football League

521
00:24:15,400 –> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: physical I look for them to press the Chiefs more.

522
00:24:18,040 –> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: I look for them to try to confuse the Chiefs

523
00:24:19,920 –> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: showing man, go to zone, zone, go to man, and

524
00:24:22,320 –> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: then just try to rip the ball out if you

525
00:24:24,119 –> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: try to catch it. This is a big game for

526
00:24:26,440 –> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: the pass catchers for the Chiefs.

527
00:24:27,880 –> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. And what you can’t do is

528
00:24:30,080 –> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 3: give this Jets defense confidence and excitement and encourage them

529
00:24:34,560 –> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: as the game goes on with like things like mistakes

530
00:24:37,480 –> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: or not being able to move the football. Because that’s

531
00:24:39,280 –> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: what happened to Buffalo in Week one. Buffalo thought they

532
00:24:43,040 –> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 3: had that game right, Aaron Rodgers gets hurt four snaps

533
00:24:45,440 –> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: into the game. Well, they turned the ball over over

534
00:24:47,920 –> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: and over again, and that gives the Jets defense life,

535
00:24:50,640 –> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: and it gives the Jets offense and opportunity consistently to

536
00:24:53,119 –> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 3: go and score points. And for the Jets to win

537
00:24:55,680 –> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: that game like they did, it was it was truly

538
00:24:57,640 –> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: magical for them. They needed it right, But why were

539
00:25:00,119 –> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 3: able to do it well? Buffalo kept putting them in

540
00:25:02,240 –> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 3: position to take the lead or to tie the game,

541
00:25:05,040 –> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: or to have a chance. And for the Chiefs in

542
00:25:06,640 –> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: this game, both on offense and defense, you can’t allow

543
00:25:09,240 –> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 3: that to happen. You can’t let the snowball get going

544
00:25:11,160 –> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: down the mountain for New York defensively because they are

545
00:25:13,960 –> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 3: so talented. So if they have hope in this game,

546
00:25:17,160 –> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: like hey, we can win this game, we can stick

547
00:25:19,600 –> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 3: with these guys because they’re having success early or they

548
00:25:22,040 –> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: forced a couple turnovers. That’s where this Jets defense is

549
00:25:24,240 –> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: really dangerous because they’re very talented and they’re very aggressive.

550
00:25:27,200 –> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: That accentuates your point about staying ahead of the sticks

551
00:25:30,000 –> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: the football vernacular. The Chiefs are twenty first in the

552
00:25:32,840 –> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: league right now in first down offense. A lot of

553
00:25:35,280 –> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 1: that is a factor of those penalties. But this is

554
00:25:39,480 –> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: a game, if you want to chart it, first down

555
00:25:41,560 –> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: offense is almost as important as third down offense against

556
00:25:45,119 –> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: a Jets team that likes to push you back. He’s

557
00:25:48,560 –> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: met McMullin, senior team reporter. I’m a Chulter’s voice to

558
00:25:51,240 –> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Yes, it’s all aboard. This week is the

559
00:25:54,560 –> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs head to Gotham to take on the Jets.

560
00:26:08,840 –> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 4: The St
