00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 2: Palisades Forever is a community driven initiative led by lifelong

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: residents to help the area recover and rebuild after the

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 2: devastation of the California wildfires. Palisades Forever focuses on restoring

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: the spaces that matter most of the community, schools, landmarks, businesses,

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: and recreational areas, bringing life back to the heart of

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: the Palisades. One hundred percent of the proceeds go directly

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: and what has to be considered a shocker, A ten

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: point underdog Washington with a rookie quarterback goes into Detroit

13
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: and hammers the number one seated Detroit Lions. Let's just

14
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 2: cut to the chase. Jayden Daniels is easily the best

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback in the history of the National Football League.

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: I remember John Elway barely. I think he played ten

17
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: or eleven games. He had twice as many interceptions as touchdowns,

18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: losing record. I think they were like four and six

19
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: or four and seven. Vaguely remember it. Andrew Luck, you

20
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: got some real upside. I thought Andrew Luck was the

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: best rookie quarterback I'd ever seen. Eleven and five of

22
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: a really weak roster. But you got mistakes. You got

23
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: mistakes with Andrew Luck. I mean until the very end,

24
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: he was somebody that he'd take big swings and throw

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: the ball into traffic. Mahomes didn't have to play as

26
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 2: a rookie until the last week, and he had an

27
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: excellent roster or a very good roster. Lamar Jackson didn't

28
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: play until week eleven. It was Baltimore's roster. This is

29
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: a average roster, one really elite weapon. Austin Eckler's a

30
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: nice fine but this is not an elite roster. And

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: Washington's in the NFC Championship. Now next week, Philadelphia defense,

32
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: Rams defense, whichever they face, much much better due to injuries,

33
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: all this stuff. You guys know, Detroit's thought a very

34
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: good defense. This is why I stayed away in my

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: Blazing four this week. I stayed away from this game.

36
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: And it was just Jaden Daniels. I thought, even if

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Washington was outplayed, they backdoor cover. I mean, in the

38
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: first half eight, Play Drive, ten, Play Drive, eleven, Play Drive.

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: You're like, WHOA what am I watching? I've just never

40
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: seen anything like this. His poise is unprecedented. I'm serious

41
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: on this. C J. Stroud was excellent as a rookie,

42
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: but this kid's ability to he's like Lamar Jackson. He's

43
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: a little bit of a running back. He's not quite

44
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 2: as dynamic as Lamar the runner, but he is so

45
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: twitchy and so quick. His instincts on running plays are

46
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 2: in sane. He's patient but can dart in and out

47
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: of traffic. He can be simultaneously sudden and patient. Some

48
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: guys are just and he's got that Patrick Mahomes thing

49
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 2: where some guys are just operating above the shoulders. It's

50
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: just they're unnatural. And you can coach up all players,

51
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: but you're not gonna take a B minus athlete to

52
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: an A plus athlete. There's always been this belief in sports, basketball, football, baseball.

53
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: You can't jump a full grade on coaching coaching to

54
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 2: dig B plus to B B minus to B plus,

55
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: but it's hard to jump a grade. A B athlete

56
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: will never be an A to an A plus player.

57
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: Some of this is just and I remember watching him

58
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: when he was Arizona State freshman. He was so skinny,

59
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: and then I remember watching him at LSU and thinking, man,

60
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: it just looks so easy. That's the same thing I

61
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: felt when I watched Michael Jordan. I can remember watching

62
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan years and years and years ago play the

63
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: Phoenix Suns in the NBA Championship, and I said, there's

64
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: a you know, how many guys in this league are

65
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: six to six stronger than Michael. I mean, he had

66
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: big hands, Kawhi Leonard size hands. He could palm the

67
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: ball and do some stuff. But I'm like, there's a

68
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: lot of six six guys with a good mid range game.

69
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: Jordan made it look so easy. You know, he dropped

70
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: twenty nine in a playoff game, and it was like,

71
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: you know, he'd have two little surges, but the games

72
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 2: was so easy. I mean, Jade and Daniels, I've never

73
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: seen anything like it. As far as Detroit, they got

74
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: too cute at the end. This is what I said

75
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 2: about Ben Johnson all year. He would flex and again,

76
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: it's easy to flex against the Bears. But when you're

77
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: trailing in a big game, goff has already been you.

78
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Know, fuzzy.

79
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: You just had a big play to Patrick before that.

80
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: Just get down the field and score. Don't get don't

81
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: get tricky. You were moving the ball and that's why

82
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: I said, all I like Ben Johnson, but you know,

83
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: these big standalone Lions games, I feel like he's flexing

84
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: a little bit and it came back to burn him.

85
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 2: Though I didn't think they were winning this game anyway.

86
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: I have reams of notes from this and they all

87
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: look the same. I mean, got in the first half

88
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: Jade and Daniels fourteen to twenty one, two hundred and

89
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: forty two yards and two tds and thirty six yards

90
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: rushing or thirty yards rushing the first half on the road. Wow,

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: it to just it's for the record. The NFC North,

92
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 2: which looked like the best division in football, zero and

93
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: three in the playoffs, Packers loose. They unraveled at the end.

94
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: Darnold unraveled at the end. Lions unraveled at the end.

95
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: So you know, regular season and playoff football two different things.

96
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: You know. It was also Lions had a minus four

97
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 2: turnover margin. Now I'm doing this right before the game ends,

98
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: so if there's a turnover late, I'm not seeing it,

99
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: but they were just I just fought Detroit was off

100
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: the entire game. Golf sailed a couple balls early. Yes,

101
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: he got hammered, cheap shot, not called, went to the tent.

102
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: He was off.

103
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: I thought, I just I felt dan Quinn. Cliff Kingsbury

104
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: came in. Cliff Kingsbury is such a good coordinator. He's

105
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: just so clever. And I talked about this Friday on

106
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: TV and radio. Some guys are just great twos. To

107
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: be a to be a number one, sometimes you got

108
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: to have about ten percent jerk. Kingsbury didn't have that

109
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 2: in him. You know, sometimes you have to make tough calls.

110
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: You got to fire coaches. You like, you're basically coaching coaches.

111
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: You don't want to be too close to the players.

112
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: And Kingsbury's kind of like a player and an extension

113
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: of the players. And in Arizona and in college at

114
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, Steve Kaime loved him, hired him, considers him

115
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 2: a friend. And he said, listen, it's it's he's such

116
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: a nice guy, such a smart guy that you know,

117
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 2: head coaching sometimes you got to be rough and and

118
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 2: it's not really a criticism, you know, it's just Cliff

119
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: Kingsbury is a tremendous, tremendous offensive designer, play caller, and

120
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: he put on a clinic tonight. I feel bad for Detroit.

121
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: I really thought a Detroit Buffalo super Bowl had a

122
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: real shot. I'm taking the Bills to get to the

123
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and win the Super Bowl. They're underdogs at

124
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: home tomorrow against Baltimore. So it it's crazy that you

125
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: watch football during the regular season. I mean in September

126
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: and October. If you go back to those Lions games,

127
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: they were crushing people. It was like collegiate They were

128
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: just hammering teams and then they just slowly started to

129
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,239
Speaker 2: fall apart. And that coaching staff did a great job

130
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: to keep the energy and the spirit up. But you

131
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: get to playoff football and you're getting the best coaches,

132
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: the best coordinators, the best quarterbacks, and everything changes. There's

133
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: real pressure. Lions don't face real pressure. In a week eleven,

134
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: here we are at home off of buy you know,

135
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: I mean Kansas City. The Chiefs did not have a

136
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: good first half off a bye with Andy Reid. The

137
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: Lions didn't play well off a bye. I think, for

138
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: some reason in football, it just doesn't work. I just

139
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: don't think it's a huge advantage. You get into a

140
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: certain rhythm, you know, it's like a baseball playoff. You

141
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: play every day, and then all of a sudden, now

142
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: you're in October and it gets chilly and you're not

143
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: playing in baseball. You play in summer weather, and you play,

144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 2: you know, five out.

145
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: Of six nights. Then sometimes you get into the playoffs,

146
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: the weather gets cold.

147
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: It's kind of football weather, and you're taking these having

148
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: these gaps, and some players and teams just don't respond

149
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: to it as well. So I think the buyers didn't

150
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: do Detroit any favors. But listen, man, the way Jayden

151
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: Daniels is playing. I mean my notes I take just

152
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: to show you during these games, I just take notes

153
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 2: and I'm just writing down stuff. And so when I

154
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 2: come in here, you know, all gaze. There was a

155
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 2: couple There was a clever flex in the third quarter

156
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: by the Lions and the double shuttle. That was a

157
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: moment right though. Okay, they're getting some momentum, but they

158
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: could never make stops. And Washington was the team going

159
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: forward on fourth down, not Detroit. And I mean, I

160
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: don't know if Dan Quinn you know, I'm sure teams

161
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: are looking at dan Quinn and they're saying, man, he's

162
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: gutsy going forward on fourth and two. I don't really

163
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: think he is. I just think if you have Jaden

164
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: Daniels on fourth and two, I mean dan Quinn fell

165
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: in love with this guy in camp. He and Cliff

166
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: Kingsbury in camp just kept pouring out compliments.

167
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: We've talked about this and it was weird.

168
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: It's like, he's a rookie, what are you doing. It's like,

169
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 2: bring the expectations down. Dan Quinn couldn't help himself. He's like,

170
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: this kid's unbelievable. You can't you can't believe this. Zach

171
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: Ertz on my show last week Washington Commanders, he had

172
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: a touchdown Commander's tight end. He's like, you're just watching

173
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: this guy in camp and you're like, what am I watching?

174
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 2: This kid is all time and it's so great. The

175
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: NFL is so much fun. Football in general is so

176
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 2: much fun when quarterback play is good. And over the

177
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 2: last several years we've gotten you know, a Joe Burrow,

178
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: of Patrick Mahomes, a Lamar, a Jaden Daniel.

179
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: It's just great.

180
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: You're getting a historically talented kid and I am just

181
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 2: struck by his demeanor. You know, I've said this all

182
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: the time. There isn't there. Most great quarterbacks are really adults.

183
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: You can hear during the broadcast with Brady, He's often

184
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 2: talking about, you know, oh, I.

185
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,719
Speaker 1: Hate to see that.

186
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 2: This is a big play, You've got to be buttoned up.

187
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: So much of it is just maturity, intelligence, awareness, and

188
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: there's just Jaden is just sitting there and it's like

189
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: the game is already slowed down. Patrick Mahomes acknowledged. Patrick

190
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes said that the game slowed down to him his

191
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: third year, and that's generally what the great quarterbacks say.

192
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: Everything slows down.

193
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: It's slow. Now for Jaden Daniels.

194
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: You can see, how about in the fourth quarter when

195
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: Detroit brings a pressure package and he is going to

196
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: get smoked and his third receiver no, nope, boom a

197
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 2: seed and gets popped. That's just not normal for rookie quarterbacks.

198
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: That's just not the way it is.

199
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: So God, I.

200
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 2: Feel so bad. I have family. My wife's from Birmingham, Michigan,

201
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: and her family and I got him tickets this year

202
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 2: to a Lion's game, and they were so grateful, and

203
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: they're such wonderful people.

204
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: And this is just a gut punch. My friend Doug Miro,

205
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: who is on a project I'm working with right now,

206
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: a writing project for a TV show.

207
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 2: Oh oh, I can't even text him. I feel so

208
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 2: bad for him. This is a rough one. You know,

209
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: it's different. Buffalo has been disappointed for years, but there's

210
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: been a lot of really good Buffalo teams through the years,

211
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: I mean years, and the Marv Levy team year after year,

212
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 2: Jim Kelly in this Buffalo run Detroit, you know, horrible

213
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 2: forever and then back to back years you're like, oh boy,

214
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: they're close, and you watch them tonight and they're gonna

215
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: lose Aaron Glenn.

216
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: I think Aaron Glenn, I'm gonna just throw this out there.

217
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: I think he's got a real shot to get I

218
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: think he has a chance to get the Cowboys job.

219
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: I really do. He's really respected.

220
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 2: And Ben Johnson's gonna get one of these jobs. Keep

221
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: your eye on the Raiders' job. So this Detroit team,

222
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 2: this this remember, Nick Sirianni gets to a Super Bowl,

223
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: loses coordinators, hires two more.

224
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: And they don't look good.

225
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: So Dan Campbell's not a scheme genius, right, Like Andy

226
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: Reid can lose coordinators. McVeigh loses coordinators, Shanahan loses coordinators.

227
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: Those are scheme guys, They're fine. There are coaches. Nick

228
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 2: Sirianni is one loses coordinators and replaces them with inferior coordinators,

229
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 2: and it gets ugly fast. So Dan Campbell's not not

230
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: really a scheme whiz. So he's gonna lose both of

231
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: this coordinators. And this could have been the year, This

232
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: could have been it. I want to read you a

233
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 2: couple of stats on Jayden Daniels. He's the best rookie

234
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: of all time at quarterback. That's unprecedented. First ever top

235
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 2: three pick to make a conference championship in the rookie season,

236
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: first rookie quarterback to win multiple World Playoff games when

237
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: his defense gives up twenty plus points in each game.

238
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: Twelve regular season wins, historically great in the fourth quarter.

239
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: I mean, what more you need to say? Yeah, that's

240
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 2: not the same. Detroit's gonna be going to the tank.

241
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: But like Philadelphia, a very good roster had the right

242
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: coordinators for a coach we kind of wonder about, you know,

243
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 2: Sirianni's built up a good culture same with Dan Campbell.

244
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: Not scheme guys. Then they lose great coordinators and they

245
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: take a dip. So fortunately Philly and Detroit had such

246
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: dominating offensive lines and some you know, some really really

247
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: high end players on the defensive and offensive lines. You

248
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: know they're not going to go turn into a five

249
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: win team. But Green Bay is getting better, Minnesota, JJ McCarthy,

250
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: Chicago should get a better coach. NFC is getting better.

251
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: So I could see the Lions losing both coordinators dipping

252
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: a little bit. The O line and their running backs

253
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: and golf will keep them very very good. Great though

254
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 2: I thought this. I thought this team was great until

255
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: they got banged up, and now the season's over. NFL

256
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: is cruel. How would you like to be Jerry Jones

257
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 2: and in the next ten years faced Jaden Daniels twenty

258
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: times minimum. We thought the Cowboys were going to regress

259
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 2: when the season started. Now look at what they have

260
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: to face. You think the New York Giants are wobbly,

261
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 2: Try twenty times against Jayden Daniels in the next decade.

262
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: No, thank you.

263
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: A closing thought. It's official. Only one team hasn't made

264
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: the NFC Championshi Game since twenty ten. How about them

265
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys yep, nineteen ninety five. Last time they made

266
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: it good luck against Jaden Daniels. NFL playoffs. We're talking

Speaker 2: Kansas City prevails. They will now go to their seventh

297
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: straight AFC Championship game. There was Babe Ruth and Gerig

298
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: Jordan and Pippin and Mahomes and Kelsey seven catches one

299
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: hundred and seventeen yards in a touchdown. I never thought

300
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: I'd see anything better than Gronk and Brady, which were

301
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: better than Winslow and Fouts. But it's pretty remarkable. I'm

302
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: looking at this, think about this. Kelseed today had the

303
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: most yards he's had all season defrosted for the playoffs.

304
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: He has the most one hundred receiving yard games in

305
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 2: playoff history, seventy plus receiving yards in fourteen straight playoff games.

306
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: Second longest streak is seven. So I never thought I'd

307
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: see anything better than Winslow and Shannon Sharp was damn good.

308
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: So was Tony Gonzalez. Then there was Brady and Gronk.

309
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: This is better and this is just the classic example

310
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: of these seasons. As the NFL keeps extending the season

311
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: and asking more of their players, the great players know

312
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: when to pick their spots, so much is done. Like

313
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: Texan fans are complaining about the refs. The difference is

314
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 2: when you go on the road in the playoffs, eos

315
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: get host win more regular season games, and get home

316
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 2: field playoff advantage. The Texans were in a worst of

317
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 2: it win more games. I mean, the Chiefs weren't a

318
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: better division. Chargers made the playoffs, Broncos made the playoffs.

319
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean in the Texans division. The Jags were a

320
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: tire fire, Colts were a mess, so you know, win

321
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 2: more games in your division. Tennessee was a mess. So

322
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: that's the advantage of playing at home. In my entire life,

323
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: you know, it could be any sport. You'll get a

324
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: call at home or two. But Andy Reid now was

325
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: eleven to zero when he leads it half. And even

326
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: though the Texans had a great final drive at the

327
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: end of the first half and got the kickoff in

328
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 2: the second half, the big takeaway for me today in

329
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: this game was the Texans had no real answer when

330
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: Spags blitz and when the Texans put pressure with the

331
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 2: nextra man on Mahomes, they seemed to always have an answer,

332
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: and that is the difference. Fans are going to complain

333
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: about officials, and there were two lousy calls against Houston.

334
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 2: I'm overly protective of Mahomes, yes, but this is sort

335
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: of the This is sort of the NFL now.

336
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 1: The calls that.

337
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: Drive us nuts are almost always a hit on a

338
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 2: quarterback shouldn't be called. And it is like that's I'm

339
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 2: kind of used to about one a game. You'd hope

340
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 2: with the best officiating crewise you wouldn't get any of

341
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 2: the playoff games. It may be the opposite, because you're

342
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: dealing with bigger star quarterbacks and they don't want them hurt.

343
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: So I've just I'm baking that in. Even though I

344
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: thought both calls were weak, I'm just baking that in.

345
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: Once a game, twice a game, you're gonna see one

346
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: of the quarterbacks both get that call.

347
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: You are you're going to get that call.

348
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: I don't like it, but I think the big difference

349
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: is it's easy to complain about officiating, but so much

350
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: is done in the NFL. Andy Reid with extra time,

351
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: shocking he won Kansas City. I've been calling them the

352
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 2: Packers of the AFC. They feel a year away. Six

353
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: seven more players, add more depth. Could they have won

354
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 2: if they had Tank doll and Stefan Diggs certainly would

355
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: have helped. Although Nico Collins is amazing and Joe Micky

356
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: and I've thought is one of the more underrated backs

357
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 2: in the league in the last five six years. I

358
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: just I think when you look at it, Kansas City

359
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 2: keeps winning these games, and it's not a coincidence. That's

360
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 2: why people always talk about luck. Kansas City is the Patriots.

361
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: They're just more of an offensive version and it always

362
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: felt like New England was more of a defensive version.

363
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: When New England had their best offense with Randy Moss,

364
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 2: they didn't win titles. But I think what's also happening.

365
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: Once you started paying Brady a little more, you're not

366
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: going to have as dynamic an offense. And once you

367
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: start paying Mahomes more, the Chiefs offense isn't dynamic, but

368
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: it's efficient. Anytime they get an official break or a fumble,

369
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: or they get just something goes their way, a kicker

370
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 2: misses a kick, they tend to go back and punish you.

371
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: The great quarterbacks punish you for their mistakes. Kansas City

372
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: doesn't play perfect football, but there's about five great quarterbacks

373
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: in the league and they don't get punished for them.

374
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: And that's just the way football works. So you know,

375
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 2: I look at I'm thinking about this Mahomes Kelsey.

376
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: So it was funny.

377
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: In the first half, Mahomes had a passer rating of

378
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten going to Kelsey and a passer

379
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: raty of sixty one.

380
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: Going to everybody else.

381
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: It's so classic, and it's very much Brady Gronk. I've

382
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 2: got all sorts of notes here. I thought the Texans

383
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: had a really good game plan early. I love that

384
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 2: fifteen play drive. But just ask yourself this, if you're

385
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 2: a Texans fan, if I would have said to you

386
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 2: before the game, you know you're gonna play pretty well,

387
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: but your special teams are gonna be awful. Does that

388
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: sound like you would have beaten the two time defending

389
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: champs and the greatest quarterback arguably of all time. Be

390
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 2: totally honest. You're gonna go on the road, You're gonna

391
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 2: play pretty well, but god, our special teams had their

392
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: worst day of the year. You're not winning that game.

393
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 2: You're not winning that game. Those officiating calls I would

394
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 2: buy much more if it didn't miss a pat if

395
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: you didn't get a field goal blocked, if you're not

396
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: missing kicks, if you didn't give up a huge kickoff

397
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: return to open the game. So you know, I just

398
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: I understand fanash short for fanatic, and they're going to

399
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: rail on those two calls. But in the end, it's

400
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: Kansas City doing what Kansas City does. And Andy Reid

401
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: doesn't lose off of buye. And Andy Reid doesn't lose

402
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: when he's leading a half. He's now twelve and zero

403
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: when leading it half. Something else I want to give

404
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: credit for. I thought, not only did you know Mahomes

405
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: and Kelsey rise to the moment. I thought Joe Bluck

406
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: and Engman were great today, you know, And I agreed

407
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: with Akam and that Dalton Schultz play.

408
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: I don't know what a catch is either.

409
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 2: I thought the minute he secured it, left foot down,

410
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: right foot out.

411
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: I don't.

412
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: I agreed with Akman, but I think what Troy is

413
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: willing to say, and it's really important because we're all

414
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 2: sitting there saying the same thing as he went after

415
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 2: the official today and I appreciate that. And I know

416
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: a lot of announcers are uncomfortable with that, but Aikman

417
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 2: of all the analysts, is willing to take swings on stuff.

418
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 2: And I thought the officials missed a couple of early calls,

419
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 2: and I agreed with him, and I'm glad he does

420
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: that because we're all saying the same thing at home.

421
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: And I think when an analyst can say what we're thinking, that's.

422
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: When you're the most effective.

423
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's one thing to have you know you're prepared,

424
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 2: but when you can say what I'm thinking, that's a

425
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 2: good analyst.

426
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: So tip of the cap there.

427
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: I also think as great as the NFL regular season is,

428
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: and Peyton Manning told me this year's ago. He said,

429
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: there's preseason speed, there's regular season speed, there's division rival speed,

430
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 2: and then there's playoff speed and intensity. And I mean

431
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 2: that thing today. For Kelsey to rise from the ashes,

432
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 2: it's just so classic Kansas City and classic playoff football.

433
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 2: I think Buffalo is a better team. I think Kansas

434
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: City is a better situational team. And this whole thing

435
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: about luck, I mean, look at how Kansas City won

436
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 2: games this year. They block a kick like a Denver

437
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 2: Broncos kick when they're outplayed. I don't think that's luck.

438
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: I think it's preparation. I think Spags very early in

439
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: this game figured out they don't have an answer for

440
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 2: our blitzes.

441
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: And they didn't.

442
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 2: And Houston was a crazy inconsistent team all year. Anyway,

443
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,199
Speaker 2: like I said, I said going into this game is

444
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: I couldn't picture away Houston could win. You know, if

445
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: they got to have to do a good start, they didn't.

446
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: If everything was pretty buttoned up, it wasn't. I could

447
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: see them, you know, covering the spread. But you can't

448
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: have a special team's disaster in winn a arrowhead not

449
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Say it out loud, Yeah, we're awful on

450
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: special teams and we're facing Mahomes and read off a bye.

451
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 2: The other thing I think about is I do think

452
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: this is the best version of Buffalo, and I don't

453
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: think it's the best version of the Lions. I thought

454
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: that were aboutter last year because they were healthier. I

455
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 2: don't think it's the best version necessarily of the Philadelphia Eagles.

456
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: I think Sirianni this year has been quirky. I thought

457
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl year they had a better staff with

458
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 2: Shane Steiken. I don't think it's the best version of

459
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 2: Baltimore because A Flowers is hurt. I think this is

460
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 2: the best version of the Buffalo Bills, and that's why

461
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: I think they're going to beat Baltimore. But as I

462
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: look at the AFC in total, I think there's a

463
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: about five teams in this league that are a year away. Denver, Rams,

464
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 2: I believe, Chargers, Houston, Texans. I think they're all really

465
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: really close, but they just need another draft to catch

466
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 2: up to Buffalo, Philadelphia, Detroit talent, and to be able.

467
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: To topple the Kansas City's chief. So all year.

468
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: Along, I had Kansas City number one in the herd hierarchy.

469
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: I now have them two behind Buffalo, and I think

470
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: that's what the AFC Championship is going to look like.

471
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: But I mean, you're talking Babe Ruth and Gerrig Pippo

472
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 2: and Jordan Mahomes and Kelsey. It's what you tell your

473
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,119
Speaker 2: grandkids about that didn't see it live. Just amazing. Just

474
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: to put a punctuation on this. Mahomes to Kelsey on

475
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 2: the day seven of eight, a perfect passer rating one

476
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 2: fifty eight point three. Mahomes to the rest of the team,

477
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 2: a passer rating of sixty one completed nine of seventeen.

478
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: Old, reliable when.

479
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: The Chiefs starters played starters playing That defense hasn't given

480
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: up over twenty points since Thanksgiving, and Carlftis has really emerged.

481
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: And Kansas City's defense two years ago was really interesting.

482
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: Good but young. Last year they were really good.

483
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: This year they were a little older and they probably

484
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 2: won't be able to keep all these guys. But when

485
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: I watched the Chiefs defense this year, it doesn't quite

486
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: feel quite as good at corner. But man, they're timing

487
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: on third and fourth down, their understanding of the scheme

488
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 2: and the blitz packages. This Kansas City defense, you know,

489
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: we think Kansas City's offense is good Situationally, this Kansas

490
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: City defense.

491
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: Is so good on big downs.

492
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 2: They can smell it, they can read it, they can

493
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: taste it. I just feel like we're watching and I've

494
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: said this all year. They're better offensively than last year.

495
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: I think they.

496
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: I really do. I don't love their offensive tackle situation,

497
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 2: but they're better offensively.

498
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: They're more dynamic.

499
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 2: Xavior Worthy helps. They're maybe not quite as deep defensively,

500
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: but I think they're that year of age and wisdom.

501
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: Jesus. They're good on big downs defensively, the volume
