All right, it is time to rally. 12 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: One thing I've learned about the National Football League. I've 13 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: only been in the twenty six years, But one thing 14 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: I have learned and even studying the one hundred year 15 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: history of this league is how teams and players can 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: rally around challenging circumstances to play at a higher level 17 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: than maybe they thought possible or because of the urgency 18 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: the matter jumped their game up. Now we don't know 19 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: as we record this podcast whether Patrick Mahomes will be 20 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: able to play against the Packers on Sunday Night football 21 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: or not. So let's give you that a disclaimer to 22 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: begin with. But even if he does, we all know 23 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: what happened a week ago on Thursday night on Thursday 24 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: Night football in Denver. If Matt Moore has to play 25 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: or Mahomes has to play, let's talk about rallying barbershop 26 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: and the fact that I've seen it time and time 27 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: again in this league, where guys will rally to that 28 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: spot and say we'll figure this out. Yeah. I know 29 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: you're going to mention a few of the historically great 30 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: rallies that the Chiefs were involved in, But we just 31 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: go back to last week against the Dembroncos. It was 32 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 1: amazing to see with your leader falling and grabbing his 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: head and grabbing his leg and not sure he's going 34 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: to be able to get up or you know, telling 35 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: the cart get out of here. Um. One of one 36 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: of those uh this images of the emotion of a 37 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: leader just telling the night nat man, I'm walking off 38 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: this field. There's no way a cart or anything else 39 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: is gonna take me out the field. I'm gonna walk 40 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: off this field and I expect you guys to go 41 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: finish this game. It was at the point of the 42 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: game where the Denver Broncos definitely could have took the 43 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: momentum at home up at mal High and there could 44 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: have been something to there, you know, smelling blood in 45 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: the water. The defense could have really started coming after us, 46 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: blissing us offensively, going back to the ground and pound, thinking, 47 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: oh that they don't have their leader, they don't have 48 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: their pat Mahomes, that the magic is gone, so let's 49 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: let's try to steal this game back. There was none 50 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: of that. The defense stepped on their throat. The defense 51 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: took control of the game. We just kept coming. It 52 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: was so it was so good to see those guys 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: so passionate and hungry about getting after the quarterback and 54 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: stopping that run game that people would take. We had 55 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: been bleeding for a few years, for a few weeks 56 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: due to the run game as many as many run 57 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: yards run at Temps. We was given up per game 58 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: to go to Denver and to stop that bleeding and 59 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: then get after the Joe Flacco and get after that 60 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: quarterback for nine sex. That was a testament to a 61 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: defense rallying to a moment in time where they would 62 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: need it well and to your point, and while we're 63 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: on that game. We're in the first quarter here of 64 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: this portion of defending the Kingdom, and it's the rally 65 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: version of the show. The defense, though, said, we'll take 66 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: it upon themselves. I sensed in that stadium doing the 67 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: play by play, it's only thirteen to six. They don't 68 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: have Mahomes. All Denver needs is one flukey play, get 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton behind the defense. It's tied at thirteen. Another 70 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: places a firestorm or a return or a scoop and 71 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: score or whatever, or maybe they get Matt Moore to 72 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: get a turnover. All right, the defense all of a 73 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: sudden goes to another level. They go to another level. 74 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: Spagser's call the way they execute it, and Anthony Hitchins 75 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: goes there, enrips the ball free and Raglan picks it 76 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: up and runs it in. I said that took the 77 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: oxygen out of one lung of that Denver crowd, because 78 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: it's now two touchdowns. You need two flukish plays if 79 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: that's the case, and then the kude Grod taking the law. 80 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: The oxygen out of the second lung was the wheel route, 81 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: the shallow wheel that Matt through to Tyreek Hill and 82 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: special teams elevated there again, that's the best special team's 83 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: performance of the year if you were a penalty's thirty 84 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 1: six yard punt returned coverage. Great punch by a cold 85 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: quick great job by Bucker. But like everybody raised their 86 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: level after Mahomes was injured. Yeah, you hear about like 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: some people who have loss of a sense, right, if 88 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: you lose your vision or you lose hearing, how the 89 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: other senses intensify and started to pick up. That's kind 90 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: of what our what our team did with the loss 91 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: of our leader. And he was damnful a little bit 92 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: and damning that out, but just chose they they chose 93 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: did not put him back in the game. Um, you 94 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: saw everybody, it was a sense of urgency, a sense 95 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: of heightened focus and intention to detail throughout the defense 96 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: and special teams, and also on the offensive side. They 97 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: knew they had to give more a little bit more time. 98 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: They had to keep the pocket a little bit cleaner 99 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: for him and let him get his feet wet and 100 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: let him get going, let him get some momentum behind 101 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: the offense. So they knew thirteen points was not going 102 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: to be enough to keep the Denver Broncos from winning 103 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: that ball game and Cheetah came through man get behind 104 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: the defense once he caught the ball outrun Chris Harris 105 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: Junior shooting the deuces and the rest is history. But 106 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: the young guys too on defense was encouraging. That carries 107 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: over to this week when I watched the video and 108 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: saw Derek Noddy clogged the line of scrimmage. I saw 109 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 1: Rashad Fenton come in as the dime back and make 110 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: like three terrific plays, including a blitz, a coverage play, 111 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 1: another coverage play. Then you saw the veterans Frank Clark 112 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 1: or the honey Badger I said, badger in the box, 113 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: with Tyron Matthew playing in the box, a lot Sorens 114 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: and others. It was all coming together, young guys and 115 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: older guys. They're gonna to do it again in this 116 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: packer game. Maybe plus plus, but still the point here 117 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: is in this league, guys will rally around a certain situation. 118 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: I've seen it time and again. Yeah, the linebackers, you know, 119 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: not to overlook them hitchings getting back in there and 120 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: getting back in the saddle running the defense. Reggie Raggling, right, 121 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: he's been almost a forgotten soldier. People wanted to write 122 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: him off, whether he's playing a defensive end position, a 123 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: middle lineback, wherever he is. He's just shown it. Hey, 124 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still an effective player here in the league. 125 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: I can get things done at a high level. Put 126 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: me in, coach, let me go, let me, let me 127 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: go make some plays. And the rains were kind of 128 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: taking off so many of these guys, and they showed up. 129 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: They showed up in the staff books, they showed up. 130 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: I'm on the field making big plays, sack, strip fumbles, touchdowns, 131 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: going a touchdown. You saw the raggling shuffle, the two 132 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: steps he did at once he got into the end zone, 133 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: and then making a sack later on in the game. 134 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I feel so great for those guys because 135 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: they've been under so much scrutiny and pressure by everybody 136 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: about their performance in the first five weeks of the season. 137 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: Now there's final portion of the first quarter of our 138 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: This episode of Defending the Kingdom, which is our rally episode, 139 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 1: has to deal with some history. I'm gonna put in 140 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: a little plug here before the game on our Facebook 141 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: live show. I'm gonna you and bj are gonna toss 142 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: to me, but I'm gonna show some examples of rallying 143 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: or improbable victories. And it's interesting in the short history 144 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: between the Chiefs and Packers, it includes the Green Bay Packers, 145 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: one of those you're involved in. The Chiefs had no 146 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: chance at winning at lambeau Field. Brett Farve's the quarterback 147 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: having a nice day and the Packers are up by 148 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: seventeen points in the fourth quarter. Now you rally to 149 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: a circumstance. Sometimes it can be an injury. Sometimes it 150 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: can be no, this isn't over. We're going to figure 151 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: this out, and the entire team response. I'm gonna bring 152 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: out This is a snippet. You can follow this whole 153 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: thing Sunday. We want you to see this. But one 154 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: of the plays that's so forgotten in that was Jerome Woods, 155 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: a seventy nine yard pick six against the chief Offenseer scored, 156 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: but the Packer offense is right, they're at the twenty 157 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: yard line. A field goal puts him back up by 158 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: water like thirteen. He runs it all the way back. 159 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: So again, it was the elevation of a player or 160 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: a team uh that comes to the rescue at the 161 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: most desperate moment. Man that that now was that's a 162 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: signified team, That oh three team, that defense. Um, as 163 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: you know, we took a lot of scrutiny about giving 164 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: up a lot of yardage and points, but we stuck tight. 165 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: We knew the philosophy of that defense was to create 166 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: turnovers to try to get more possessions for our offense. 167 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: We knew we had a top three man. I think 168 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: maybe the top offense in the league with Ali Son 169 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: is Trent Green, Tony Gonzalez, Yeah, yeah, Priestone the probably 170 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,319 Speaker 1: best offensive line in the history of football. And so 171 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: we defensively just wanted to create turnovers, create habit, get 172 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: them to turn the ball over at a high rate 173 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: to create more possessions for our offense. That game, we 174 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: were down, it was fourth quarter, We was down, but 175 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: defensively there was no quit. We were still reacting to 176 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: the ball, trying to create turnovers. And Jerome Woods came 177 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: up with a big pick six. Like you said, that's 178 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: a that's a fourteen point turnaround. Instead of them going 179 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: in for a touchdown, we score, We're back in the game. 180 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: Somehow we nudge that game to overtime and then the 181 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: rest was history. Man, the rest was history. Second biggest 182 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: forgotten play of that game. People were what are they 183 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 1: gonna remember about that game? What do they remember? This 184 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: is this? They're gonna remember what the overtime pass from 185 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: Green to Kennis touchdown against Boo Joo Joo whatever. That 186 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: guy's name was the most forgotten, A second most forgotten 187 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: play after the Rummy Woods pick six. I ain't gonna 188 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: tell you. I'm gonna make you watch it on Sunday night. 189 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: You watch it on our show, and I will tell 190 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: you the second biggest play people are forgotten about. But 191 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: rallying in the past. All right, we shift gears. Now, 192 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: I go to the second quarter of this episode of 193 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: the Finging in the Kingdom, which is rally rallying past, 194 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: rallying present. You've already hit on a lot of it. 195 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: We hit a lot of the defense. But let's talk 196 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: about rallying now on offense. Could be Patrick playing, yep, 197 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: he's ahead of schedule. Well, I'm just gonna leave it 198 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: at that. Or it could be Matt. Now, one thing, 199 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: when Matt came in into the game on Thursday night 200 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: a week ago against Denver, I was wondering because coach 201 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: ran eleven hundred plays in Saint Joe, right, Matt didn't 202 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: run a play. He was coaching the hard high school 203 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: seven on seven or something. I wondered how much of 204 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: the offense coach would already call with him. Is there 205 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: like ten plays he can run and we're just gonna, 206 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: like hope we can glide out here. I didn't see 207 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: any throttle down much at all, Like coaches looking at 208 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: that laminated sheet and the shallow wheel. It's like a 209 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: page fifteen play that's down in the corner where he 210 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: saves stuff. But the rest of the team, I thought, 211 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: on offense, we've already talked to how the defense rallied, 212 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: But I thought offensively, the rest of this team rallied 213 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: to Matt Moore man. I think it's like riding a bike, man, 214 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Like you know, you never you never really forget how 215 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: to balance that bike, how to get those pedals in 216 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: the steading with every and the handlebars altogether when you're 217 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 1: trying to make it down the street. Matt mooy as 218 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: a guy man. He's been a veteran in this league. 219 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: He's been a part of some really good programs. He 220 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: knows philosophy, he knows play call, and he knows how 221 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: to control a huddle. All those details about being a 222 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: signal caller. He do it secondhand. He does he does 223 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: it by nature. So I think when they brought him 224 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: into the building they knew he had all those things. 225 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: It just they didn't know he was gonna need to 226 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: call upon him against Denver at Denver Um so so 227 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: so quickly and so uh he answered, he rallied, He 228 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: answered the call, having to come in when Pat mahomes 229 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 1: and giving the offensive coordinated the the ability to call, 230 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: to open up the playbook and keep calling the same 231 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: type of plays. Uh. That's just a testament of his 232 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: atom is, you know, his ability to this filter in 233 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: and be fluent in an offense. It's already one of 234 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: the most difficult, complicated offenses in the league. Another great 235 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: example it is Travis Kelsey because in that game, doing 236 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: the play by playing thinking right now, the Chiefs first 237 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: rounds are like touchdowns. Yes, it's twenty to six, but 238 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: the Chiefs would if you just eat five minutes or 239 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: hawk and shift the field some because the Chiefs were 240 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: backed up. He didn't get the ball at fifty yard line. 241 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: He's back at like the fourteen I'm thinking first downs. 242 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: Kelsey was a third and six stretches out the football 243 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: and gets six and a half yards and to me 244 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: that those are those forgotten plays. We see the wheel 245 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 1: route for the touchdown to Tyreek Hill, but Kelsey is 246 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: thinking at this time, a first down here is like 247 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 1: a touchdown. I'm gonna know where the sticks are. I'm 248 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: gonna run my route to the sticks. Then the dude's 249 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: gonna hit me, and I'm gonna get the ball just 250 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: past the sticks, because right now that means ninety more 251 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: seconds we can run off if we get a first down. Again, 252 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: a vet move. How many times do we hear about 253 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: a receiver running a route too short, needing eight yards 254 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: and then running an eight yard route that gives you, 255 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: that gives no leeway, and when you got to come 256 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: back to the ball and you end up being a 257 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: half yard short. Kelsey ran in that yard just deep 258 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: enough to make sure he could catch it, and then 259 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: he held out the ball to ensure that we got 260 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: a great spot so we would have to use a challenge. 261 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: This is another vet move. Man Like it's so any 262 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: guys in this locker room, they are able to step 263 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: up to the call and answer the bell time and 264 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: time again, making big play, big play, Like I said, 265 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: every every every mentality when the offense goes on the field, 266 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: it should be one thing. First down, first down, touchdown. 267 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: It should always be trying to get two first downs 268 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: to turn the field. After we get two first damns, 269 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: we get pass manfield, middle of the field. It's about 270 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: getting into the end zone. Um, it's about scoring six, 271 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: not three, but those two first dawns, getting that momentum 272 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: going allowing to you know Dustin know, Hey, if I 273 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: need to punt it, i'mnna be able to peniments out 274 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: of the ten yard line like he does so eloquently. Um. 275 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: That's the mentality that most offenses League don't have the ability, 276 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: the capability, the skill level, the personnel to have that mentality. 277 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: They would, they would, they would feel the pressure of 278 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: the moment and probably sometimes crumbled. But this offense is um. 279 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they rallied, They did what they supposed to 280 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: did to make sure we walked out of Dimmer with 281 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: a win. Colcord, I'm glad you brought him up because 282 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: you could chance with him too. Hey, they need one 283 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: of my I gotta give one of my co quit 284 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: specials here. I got to flip the field. It's got 285 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: to be hang time. We got to cover it and 286 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: go drill that guy. And he did it time and 287 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: time again when after Mahomes left that game. And that's 288 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Here's rallying all the way around, 289 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: depending on who, no matter who the quarterback is on 290 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: Sunday Night football against the Packers. All right, here we're 291 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: at halftime. You now it works on Defending the Kingdom 292 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: NFL halftimes only twelve minutes, not high school halftime. At 293 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: twenty you see a band and all that. Nope, none 294 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: of that. You get to taste an orange, go the best, 295 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: and in the podcast you get a second there. Now 296 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: we go to the third quarter of this Defending the 297 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: Kingdom rally version of the podcast, and that has to 298 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: do with rally future. When I've seen teams have this, 299 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: it becomes a point of definition for a team when 300 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: they're faced with and let's be honest, eleven of the 301 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: twenty two starters have missed significant time in the first 302 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: seven games of the year for the Chiefs and they're 303 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: setting at five and two. But let's just take the 304 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: day Ver game. In the screen Bay game coming up 305 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: to me. After the Denver game, there was some greater 306 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: good that could define the rest of the season. We 307 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: mentioned young guys like Fending and Derek Noddy stepping up, 308 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: or a defense now having a surge of confidence. What 309 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: about rallying from a certain point that becomes like the 310 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: nucleus of an atom that takes you through months or 311 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: weeks and months and maybe well into the playoffs. Well, 312 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, you got leaders on every level of that defense, right, 313 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: you got Frank Clark leading the front line. You got 314 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: hit hit Man Hitchinson leading the linebackers. Then you got 315 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: Honey Badger in the secondary. And it's I know, the 316 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: guys been kind of biting their tongues every week because 317 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: no one likes giving up those running yards. No one 318 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: likes giving up those points where you don't need to. 319 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: You have a level of expectation that you expected to 320 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: play and you want to be a part of a 321 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: great defense. And so after week in and week out 322 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: of offensively this, you know, our offense doing the job, 323 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: doing it needs to be done, and then having to 324 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: home games where you felt like we just we couldn't 325 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: stop to run when we needed to to get the 326 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: ball back to our offense. And that's what led us 327 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 1: down here. At home against the Texans and the Coats, 328 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: and having a chance to write the ship, having a 329 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: chance to rally to the call, rallied, rally, rally the 330 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: guys around UM. At this moment in time, the defense 331 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: made such a big statement UM, right and right in 332 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,400 Speaker 1: front of everybody. Right, it made us a statement against 333 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: a divisional opponent UM that had been running the ball 334 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 1: very well, that had been doing some really good things 335 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: on offense. So you can't take that away from our defense. 336 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: You gotta on the road being able to stop then 337 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: from what they were doing so well with lindsay Uh 338 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: and Freeman and that all that came to a stop. 339 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: Everybody played their goal, they played their their gaps, their responsibilities. 340 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: But it was the fight in the in the dog. 341 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: It was the the way they finished, the focus and 342 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 1: the attitude of that defense. It's what made down and 343 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: down again. They came up to make really big plays 344 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: throughout the game. And this is a little bit of 345 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: ralling present, rallying to the future. Playing Aaron Rodgers this week, 346 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: oh yeah, phenomenal, But how much does that prepared you. 347 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna play Philip Rivers here in a couple of weeks, 348 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: But how much does that prepared you in playing Brady? Again? 349 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: This defense has not played this group of defense has 350 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: not played Brady. Okay, this is a group that's been 351 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: put together with free agency, young guys, older guys. They've 352 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: all maybe some of them have played Brady at one time, 353 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: but not as collective as a defense. I'm just saying 354 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers this week and ralling to try to beat 355 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: him and try to figure it out what would be 356 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: hard to do. But there's a greater good, is there 357 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 1: not in playing this game that could help you weeks 358 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: and months ahead? All right? Now, Aaron Rodgers is I mean, 359 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: he's hitting on all all of a Suddens, right. He 360 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: got he got six wins for his teams. He had 361 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: six touchdowns last week. He only threw six incomplete ball. 362 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: So he's hitting on all Sulmons right now. Right, He's 363 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: doing he's doing things that um, you know, you'll say, 364 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: he's playing it at an AA level. Right. His QBR 365 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: last week was one for the eight point three, the 366 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: highest that can be. UM. So he's gonna come into 367 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: Arrowhead feeling real good about himself defensively. That's what you want, 368 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: you want to You want a man at his best. 369 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want a guy coming in with 370 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 1: their second string quarterback or or a Pro Bowl quarterback 371 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: who's coming off a three interception game. He's got to 372 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: find and rEFInd himself. Now. I want the best of 373 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: the best, because once the season's over, he's trying to 374 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: go a playoffs. Every week you're gonna get the best. 375 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: You're gonna get somebody's best effort in the playoffs. And 376 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: if you don't arise to the occasion in the playoffs, 377 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 1: you go home. There is no next week. And so 378 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: for the future of this team to rally, it begins 379 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: just Sunday against one. Aaron Rodgers HUM and Aaron Jones 380 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: m MBS the wide receiver taking out that offensive line 381 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: that's gonna try to run the ball and pass protect 382 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: him those deep play action pass and give Rogers twenty 383 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: thirty yards of a free pocket area to step up 384 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: in and defensively, we got to discontinue to penetrate that pocket, 385 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: get him moving on the run. Um gotta hit the quarterback. 386 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: Hit these running backs. Don't don't let a resurgence of one. 387 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham, he's been like a phoenix in the rising 388 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: right from the dead. He's been a resurgence of his 389 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: career this season. Um, we gotta put these guys in 390 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: their play. We gotta, we gotta make sure that they 391 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: have to earn every yard, every first down, every touchdown, 392 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: the field goal for four quarters straight and then you 393 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: let the school board take care of itself. But defensively 394 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: that that mentality has to be Uh did they fight 395 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: every snap of the of the game? Packers are six 396 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: and one, but Rogers has been sacked twelve times. He 397 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: has lost two fumbles. He's not an interception thrower, never 398 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 1: has been. In fact, he's got the best ratio of 399 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: touchdowns interception ratio an NFL history. And people ask me 400 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: all the time, Who's Patrick. Remind you of it? It 401 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: is Rogers, but Box tr the left tackle, good player, 402 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: but three false starts, four holes and struggle at times. 403 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: Elton Jenkins there left guard, the rookie has three holes, 404 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: has given up a sack and two false starts. Billy 405 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: Turner the right guard, was the Broncos guy. He got 406 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: hammered last year here for two sacks by the Chiefs 407 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: so and Marquess Valda Scantling. You mentioned the NBS. He's there. 408 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,159 Speaker 1: They're good players, they're really good players. But I'm telling you, 409 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: if you rally, you have a chance to win this game. 410 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's kind of the theme of what we're 411 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: trying to say, or this isn't a game that's impossible, 412 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: Like you got no shot. I don't care whose quarterbacking, 413 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: you couldn't win this game. And we heard the scenario before, 414 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: right in two thousand and eleven, we heard the same 415 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: scenario right the Vaults coming in and they're undefeated and 416 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: they got the great winning street there. They're the you know, 417 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: the top team in the NFC Super Bowl bound, and 418 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: we were just the lonely Chiefs and our team rose up, 419 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: they rose up one of the greatest victories here in 420 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: Arrowhead I've seen over the last decade to turn around 421 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: and take that game. And we rallied behind who at 422 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 1: quarterback Kyle Orton kyl and his number was number eight. 423 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: If Matt has to play, might be fifteen. But if 424 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: Matt has to play, his number is number eighty eight. 425 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: Now there's more common, but that's going you have to 426 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: wait for it till Sunday morning or Sunday night when 427 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: we run the show before the game. You n bjre 428 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: just got to pay attention to my segment now because 429 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: you hit on something. But three of the most improbable 430 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: victories in Chief's history, three came against this Packer team, 431 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: and you only plan them every four years. Because in 432 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: all three cases it was what we're talking about with 433 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: the theme of this podcast. It was a rally in 434 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: all three phases. There are forgotten plays in all three 435 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: of those games, and I'm going to talk about but 436 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: to your point, Tom Bahali three sacks in that game, 437 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: it was Aaron Rodgers that was quarterback in it was 438 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: the backup cat. It was Aaron Rodgers. It wasn't like 439 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: Matt Flynn or one of those guys. And the fact 440 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: that they were thirteen to no. They had won nineteen 441 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: straight games, they were the Super Bowl champions, and the 442 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,159 Speaker 1: Chiefs I think had a point ooo three chance of win. Okay, 443 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: So here you go to Sunday night and so rally passed, 444 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: Rally present, Rally future. But I also think too that 445 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 1: there's just some things being put in place because you're 446 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: going to start to get guys back here off this 447 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: injured list, and when you do, it's going to be 448 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: like working out scar tissue you're going to be ready 449 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: to build and be a better team going in the 450 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: last two months of the season. To me, yeah, and 451 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, we're gonna talk about they got to 452 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: figure it out, right, they got to figure out a 453 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: way to get this win. We're not worried about. Well, 454 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: let's go there now. Fourth quarter. Here we are, fourth 455 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: quarter and are defending the Kingdom. Rally version and a 456 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: reminder our whole podcast network brought to you by three 457 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: sixty von get made right here in as a city. 458 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: Here we go. Now we've got to figure it out. 459 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: Fourth quarter crunch time Rogers one of the best fourth 460 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,480 Speaker 1: quarter quarterbacks in the history of the game. We're saying, 461 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have a chance. How do you figure it out? Now? 462 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: You said, these guys come out of injury. We got 463 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: Fisher coming back, we got Chris Jones coming back. Maybe 464 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: it's a healthy Sammy Watkins coming back on offense. Um, 465 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: guys are just getting back into the fold, getting back 466 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: so we can be full strength. You want to see 467 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: what the team has, Let's see it. Let's see full strength. 468 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: Let our full strength team as the Chiefs go against 469 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 1: the full strength team of the Packers, and let's battle 470 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: it out to see who is one of the most 471 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 1: fear teams in the NFL this year, and however the 472 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: score boll have it all works out, well, I'm confident 473 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: we'll walk away feeling like we can hold our heads 474 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: up and that our team has gonna battle like no 475 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: other come Sunday night here in Narrowhead Stadium. And that 476 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: tell you that's got a greater good to it. The 477 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: other thing is when you think about the injuries and 478 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: the guy is coming back potentially, you have to think 479 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: about it. It has been since the first couple series 480 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville game in Week one, since all these 481 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: guys have been back together. Tyreek went out really early 482 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, Fisher goes out in the first 483 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: series of the Oakland game in Week two, So those 484 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: two haven't really been together since like the first couple 485 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: snaps of the entire season then and then Watkins went out. 486 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean, there hasn't been all of the pieces fit 487 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: together since they ran on the field in Jacksonville. And 488 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: my point is you're getting back to that point where 489 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: they're gonna be back, and that's when this team becomes 490 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: to me, very very dangerous in trying to figure out 491 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: the near future and the long term future or the 492 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarter is definitely the most important quart to any game. 493 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: That's when you win a game. Rights those who penalize 494 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: penalties and touchdowns are magnified because that's that dictates what's 495 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 1: going to be the final score the game. The same 496 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: thing happens in the football season. You want to start fast, 497 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: you want to get out to a good league. You 498 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: want to get out hopefully you can lead your division, 499 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: have some divisional wins. But in the meed of the season, 500 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: the middle of the season, you're gonna face some really 501 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: tough opponents and you want to match up again those 502 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 1: guys and and really get a guy's best shot. You 503 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: want to you want to know what it's gonna be 504 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: like going against the NFC teams. Um, we got we 505 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: got the Packers coming into town. Then we got the 506 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. Both of those teams, the Vikings running game. Uh, 507 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: Minnesota has a great defense. UM. Green Bays defense. We 508 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: haven't gaven him any love, but they've been one of 509 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: the surprises of the year so far, the way they've 510 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: been getting after the ball on defense. So, UM, we 511 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: got a great test coming up this Sunday and I 512 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: expect our guys to really react and respond with the 513 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: championship effort as we close out uh this rally edition 514 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom. One more area I want to 515 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: go over with you, and the deals with the Packer 516 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: offense against the Chiefs defense, and it deals with our 517 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,920 Speaker 1: fourth quarter of figuring it out. One of the things 518 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: that I've seen Aaron Rodgers do for years is a 519 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: favorite Brady trick, a favorite Peyton Manning trick. He gets 520 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,199 Speaker 1: you his personnel on the field where you have to 521 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: match the personnel that he wants you to have on 522 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 1: the field. For example, this fullback I loved him at 523 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: Northwest Dan Vitality. He's now had three twenty plus catches. 524 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: They can go big fullback and a tailback halfback if 525 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: you will, and a tian In and Graham. That means 526 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: you have to go big. What does Rogers do? If 527 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: he likes you in that, he'll keep you in that. 528 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 1: Then he goes to tempo. And now all of a sudden, 529 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: you're on a treadmill that's going fifteen point zero at 530 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: ten point er elevation and you cannot slow it down. 531 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: Figure it out. Yeah, Tempo is tough to do. Especially 532 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: if they do it the entire ball game. You look 533 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: at the Packers when they started season against the Bears, 534 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: um that was a game that often struggled to find 535 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: any kind of consistency except for the one series I 536 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: think it was a four play series that Aaron Rodgers 537 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: ends up going to touchdown. That ends up being the 538 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: difference of the game where they actually went tempo. They 539 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: sped things up, kept the personnel like you said it, 540 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: kept the personnel the Bears they want on the field, 541 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers to control of the offense, audibled and 542 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: went through the you know, and they scored that That 543 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: that that series. The rest of the game though, when 544 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: they have to make plays and and uh play calls 545 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,199 Speaker 1: and try to make adjustments. So defensively, what I do 546 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: against the team, or what I think a team should 547 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: do against any kind of offense that wants to go tempo, 548 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: is we become the dictator. We out aggressive him. We 549 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: have more guys up at the line of scrimmage. The 550 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: thing about tempo, you gotta you gotta set the front, 551 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: the coverage. You gotta determine who do you want the 552 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: bigs the block, Who do you want the linebackers the 553 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: pick up. Well. Defensively, we can make we can make 554 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: our fronts and coverages look a lot different when you're 555 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 1: not coming out of the huddle. We can put eight 556 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: guys on the line of scrimmage and dare you to 557 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: steal pass the ball. We can do some run blitz 558 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of different things we can do 559 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: from that front and coverage aspect that if you don't 560 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: have the coach talking into your ear and you're at 561 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: the ball trying to make all the adjustments and the 562 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: play calls um, there's only so much a quarterback and 563 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: see um and he's not allowing that offensive coordinator to 564 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: call to play the way he wants to. Hey, sometimes 565 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: you say you live better three, you die by the three. 566 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: You live by no tempo, up tempo. Sometimes that can 567 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: be the cost of your demands. You gave a basketball analogy. 568 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: I've said tempo football is like fast break basketball. You 569 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: break a fast break, you dunk it, and you'll kill 570 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: a fast break. All right, Press defense, I should say 571 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: you'll press defense if they're pressing you same thing. You 572 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: get a tempo offense. Off it that's a thirty second possession. 573 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: You get the ball right back. You can flip a 574 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: game and take their nards out. Just saying, two key 575 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: guys to me in this Anthony Hutchins were in the 576 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: green dot. Make them the calls, right. He's got to 577 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: get everybody and switch it up, maybe a little bit 578 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: because you're going the treadmills going the other one. Honey Badger, 579 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: Tyron Matthew, he'll figure it out as well if he's 580 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: against tempo offense, Just saying, yeah, no, and those are 581 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: both two veteran guys who we expect can handle that 582 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: that tempo with the greatest fease on I do expect, 583 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: I mean pressure bus of pipes. And if we let 584 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers sit back there and drop back fifteen yards 585 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: and scan the field and have these deep crosses and 586 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: double moves going, it doesn't matter who you have covering 587 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: the guys, they're gonna end up being open. But when 588 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: you get free shot, you got delayed blitz by a linebacker, 589 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: a guy beating the one on one. Hopefully Christi Jones 590 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: coming back in being able to beat uh their interior 591 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 1: three one on one or Frank Clark coming off the edge. 592 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes that deters a quarterback from one and go tempo, 593 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: especially when he's picking himself off off the ground after 594 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: big sacks. So if you want to if you want 595 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: to have a solution for tempo, go ahead and sack 596 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, Barbara Shop You're ready to rally? Oh man, 597 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: let's go man, I'm ready to go now it shoulders 598 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: voice to the Chiefs, ready to rally?
