1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: It's bounced back time. It's a short week. Most of

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: the NFL as a short week. It's a division game,

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: it's Raiders Week. This Defending the Kingdom episode deals with

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: move on to the next play, move on to the

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 1: next game, don't let one loss lead to another, and

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: are Defending the Kingdom podcast brought to you by Ticketmaster.

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Seven to seven time, Chiefs have third down and three

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: at the Eagle four with an empty backfield. Momentarily, here

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: comes McKinnon in motion pastor shock talk Kelsey touchdown chance

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: of City Travis Chelsea from Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs

11
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: have a Kelsey touchdown is seventy fourth. However you want.

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: On Mitchelter's Voice of the Chiefs along with senior team

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: reporter Matt McMullen as the Kansas City Chiefs, it's not

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: just any week, as we say on the Chiefs Kingdom Show,

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: It's not just any week. It's eight Ers week and

16
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: a good time. I think to have Raiders Week, not

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: to put up bulletin board material for the Raiders, but

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: the fact to re focus this Chiefs team mouth washed

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles and try to get back on the winning column.

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: I think this is one of the hardest things to

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 2: do in all of sports, but it's also the beauty

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 2: of sports. You have a very difficult loss on Monday night,

23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: a game that the Chiefs had it was right there.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: You end up losing. I feel like you should have won.

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: What do you do well? You can't dwell on it.

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: You can't be sitting there thinking about it all day.

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: You have to see what happened, accept it, learn from it,

28
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: and move on and be better because of it. And

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have been the best in the business of

30
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: doing that in recent years. We talk a lot about

31
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 2: how you know Patrick Mahomes, two time league MVP, the

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: Super Bowls, all the wins, that's all true, but the

33
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: true hallmark of a great team is how do you

34
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: bounce back after a really difficult loss. And we've seen

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: it twice already this season where the Chiefs had a loss,

36
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: they won the following week. And in Patrick Mahomes's career

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: he's fifteen and three following a loss. In my opinion,

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: that's the mark of a champion. Got to get back

39
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: on track here, and fortunately we have the mentality here

40
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: in this building to do it. Who better to do

41
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: it against than the did you play baseball. I sure did.

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, let me tell you full disclosure here. This

43
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: is a traumatic moment for me. Okay, so good baseball team,

44
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: we were good, but I'm an underclassman playing for a

45
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: game to go to the state and we got two

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: seniors are really good and a boot a ball, right,

47
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: Dude hits a shot but I boot it. So now

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: I'm thinking I got to get the next one right.

49
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: But in my mind, I'm thinking, God, I hope this guy,

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: the four whole hooder doesn't come up and rip one.

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: He rips one right at me. I boot it again. Yeah,

52
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: So now you're thinking, Okay, now I'm gonna try real

53
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: hard to do something like stupid. So I try to

54
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: go do more than I should do another er, and

55
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: then I get pulled from the game. It wasn't that

56
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: long ago. One of those seniors. It was at Pooches

57
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: in Smith Center. He goes, dude, if you just fielded

58
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: one of those. So the reason I give you this

59
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: traumatic moment for me, And actually I've gone back to

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: that field like six times and stood in that spot.

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you just think about it.

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: But then I think too about hitting a three on

63
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: triple to win a State championship and then having the

64
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: last put out and can still see that image in

65
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: my mind, So you balance all that out. Why am

66
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: I giving you this other than me being in therapy

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: right now is the fact you cannot let one bad

68
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: play lead to the next. The greatest players in the NFL,

69
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the greatest teams in the NFL, Patrick Mahomes is right there,

70
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: cannot let a play or a game affect the next

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: play or the next game. The great ones have the

72
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: ability to do that.

73
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: And that's with everyone in life, like in your own job.

74
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 2: If you have a bad day at work, or if

75
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: you mess up an assignment, if you allow yourself to

76
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: think too much about it, to put too much pressure

77
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: on yourself, or to dwell on it and live in

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: the past, you're not going to get better and it's

79
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: going to snowball and create further problems. And that happens

80
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: all the time in the NFL around the league. Fortunately

81
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: really doesn't happen to the Chiefs much at all. But

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: it is a moment here that you have to make

83
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: sure you handle it correctly. And that's why we're lucky,

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: we of the coaches that we do and the leaders

85
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 2: that we do, because these are tipping points in seasons.

86
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: Right now, for the Chiefs, everything is still ahead of them.

87
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the standings, everything is

88
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 2: right there. They're seven and three. They're a half game

89
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: behind the Ravens for the top seed and the AFC.

90
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 2: But all things being equal, the Chiefs have the tiebreaker

91
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: over the Ravens. The Ravens have three conference losses, the

92
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs only have one. Look at the teams the Chiefs

93
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: are tied with right now at seven and three, the Jags.

94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: We beat, the Jags got the head to head tiebreaker

95
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 2: over them, same deal with the Dolphins. Everything's right there

96
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs to still have all their playoff goals realized.

97
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,679
Speaker 2: But you have to make sure you take care of business.

98
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: Can't take the Raiders lightly just because they're five and six.

99
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: Have to make sure you learn from what happened against

100
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: the Eagles. As difficult as it may be, you flush

101
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 2: it and you move on and you get a victory

102
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas.

103
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: And the AFC right now kind of looks like a

104
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: wordle puzzle. Yeah, you got all these letters and columns

105
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: and rows, and you're thinking, man, how's this going to

106
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,559
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gonna be a very interesting set weeks

107
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: here to what happens. But the Chiefs are there. He

108
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: just laid it out, so it's not like the Chiefs

109
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: are three and seven or gasping at the bottom of

110
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: that wordle puzzle. They're still at or near the top.

111
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: So just hang in there. But to refocus against the

112
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Raiders is imperative. Now, next play, next game, move on.

113
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: But moving on also means we jump into Matt's satellite

114
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: and we take a trip around the Earth. I'm gonna

115
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: mention a guy. I think it's Jim Slayton. Was that

116
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: a baseball pitcher or Jim Stayton? Anyway, he's a DTK

117
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: defender every podcast. He lives in South Carolina, and it

118
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: seems like a good dude. I don't know, but he's like, man,

119
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: I'm on every word you guys say, So a shout out.

120
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a game Cock or a

121
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Clemson Tiger or where his allegiances are. Maybe he's a

122
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Citadel Bulldog. Who knows, but he lives in South Carolina

123
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: and listens to the podcast. So a shout out to Jim.

124
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: Now we'll take Jim and the satellite and go around

125
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: the earth.

126
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: So just a few for me today. First of all,

127
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 2: before I get started, shout out to everyone that went

128
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: to Thomastown and saw our first ever live DTK show.

129
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 2: That was a lot of fun. Had a chance to

130
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 2: catch up with everyone after the show, but really cool

131
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: having a live audience for DTK. So shout out to

132
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: everyone that came to that. I want to give a

133
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: shout out to Susie. Susie is from Germany, has been

134
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: in contact with me for a better part of a

135
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: year now watches all of our stuff. It made her

136
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: first trip to Kansas City to watch the game on

137
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: Monday against the Eagles, obviously hoping for a better result,

138
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: but had a really wonderful time. So shout out to you, Susie,

139
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 2: thanks for always watching and listening. And then lastly, we

140
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: had a chance you had already met her. I met

141
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: her for the first time. We met Trent McDuffie's mom

142
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: last night after the game. Amazing woman listens to DTK.

143
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: You raised an amazing sun. We told you that after

144
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: the game, so shout out to you as well.

145
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And that's not Susie bling bling right, the cookie lady.

146
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 2: Now she's from Savannah she's not Susie. This Susie is

147
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: from Germany and big Chiefs fan.

148
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: Awesome. Yeah, love it and love meeting all the German

149
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: fans when we were in Frankfurt. But now it's Thanksgiving weekend,

150
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: so we're very thankful of course being part of the

151
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: chief Kingdom for our friends and family. But now we

152
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: got to focus on the Raiders, and this is a

153
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,679
Speaker 1: team with Antonio Piers taking over his interim head coach

154
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: that to me has provided real energy for a Raiders

155
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: team that seemed kind of listless, but now they have purpose,

156
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: especially on defense, and so the Chiefs have to take

157
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: care of business, especially against this Raider defense.

158
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 2: I would love to see a study on this about

159
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: how teams that are having pretty rough seasons respond when

160
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: they hire an interim coach and they have newfound energy.

161
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: I bet it's a pretty good result if we did

162
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: that study, and these Raiders are a great example of that.

163
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: I mean, Antonio Pierce has that team fighting. I mean

164
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: they're five and six right now, trying to get back

165
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: to five hundred, trying to get in the thick of

166
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: the playoff race. But more than anything, they have the

167
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: look of a team that's fighting for their head coach.

168
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: They want to win, they want to play well for

169
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: Antonio Pierce. And Pierce of course had a great NFL career.

170
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: He was on that seven Giants team that beat the

171
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: Patriots and the Super Bowl. Spags was, of course the

172
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator that team. He seems like a guy who's

173
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 2: really rallied this team around him and rallied them together.

174
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: And for me, looking at the Raiders, you kind of

175
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: have to throw out all of their stats and numbers

176
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: from the first eight weeks of the season. Really when

177
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: he became the coach in week nine, that's when things

178
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: kind of turned around for them, and their numbers overall

179
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 2: look a lot different, particularly defensively.

180
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnollo, it was earlier this season and I was

181
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: talking to Spags about Nick Bolton and we talked about

182
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: a comp for Nick Bolton, and Spags goes Antonio Piers,

183
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: and then Spags went into a little bit of a

184
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: dissertation about how much Antonio Piers had an impact on

185
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: that seven team. And then I had a chance to

186
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: talk with Spags about Antonio Piers taking over the Raiders

187
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: as the interim head coach, and I asked him about

188
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: it and Spags had a very interesting response. Your thoughts

189
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: on Antonio Pierce, what he meant to you as a

190
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: player and now to see him as an interim head

191
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: coach in the NFL.

192
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, this does not surprise me. Knowing Antonio as long

193
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: as I have he was a coach when he was

194
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 3: a player. I bounce things off him all the time.

195
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: He grinded tape, he saw things, he saw big picture things.

196
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 3: The one thing that I always loved about Antonio and

197
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 3: he's showing that now as a head coach, is he

198
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 3: was able to talk and communicate and relate to all

199
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: the rooms. The D line room he was a linebacker,

200
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: so the linebacker room, the dB room, he go over

201
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: to the offensive line. But he was that kind of guy.

202
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: It was a dynamic personality. It doesn't surprise me that

203
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: he's got a team that's rallying around him and enjoy

204
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: playing for him. He loves the game. And yet with

205
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: all that, you know, you can call him the player's

206
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: coach if you want. But he's a disciplined guy and

207
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: a rule is a rule, and he's going to set

208
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 3: people straight and I think people respect him for that.

209
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: So there you have it. This is not surprising Steve

210
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: Spagnolo at all, the fact that Antonio Pears was the

211
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: guy that would watch extra video. He's the guy that

212
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: would have an impact on the offense as much as defense,

213
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: very similar to what we have on this Chiefs roster.

214
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: And now he has his own team. He kind of

215
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: like stumbled into it. But he's got this defense with

216
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: some really good players. Again that the Chiefs offense has

217
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: got to be on their a game to deal with, and.

218
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: It makes sense. We think a lot about how former

219
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 2: quarterbacks make great offensive coaches. Well, former linebackers make great

220
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: defensive coaches, because of the linebackers are the quarterback of

221
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: the entire defense, and when you're the quarterback of the defense,

222
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 2: you have to understand the offense as if you're an

223
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: offensive player. So it's not a surprise to me that

224
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: Antonio Piras has been so successful already. And the players

225
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 2: respond to him, that's the obvious thing. And it's not

226
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: like the Raiders have been lighting up the scoreboard or

227
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: these games have been you know, full of highlights, but

228
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: his guys just grind and fight, and even last week

229
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: against the Dolphins, the Raiders were right in that game.

230
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: I mean they had to lead for much of the game.

231
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,319
Speaker 2: They had opportunities at the end to tie the game

232
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: against Miami, one of the best teams in the NFL

233
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: in Miami. So this Raiders team kind of has newfound

234
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: life again. Kind of throw out what happened with them

235
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: early in the season, because this is a much different

236
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: team than what we saw weeks one through eight.

237
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: They're fifth in the league. The Raiders are in points

238
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: allowed over the last eight games, so that gets your attention.

239
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: But my thesis on my mena with Mitch this week

240
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: was the fact that the league now has become because

241
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: of the way the defenses are playing a league of

242
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: seven yards to fifteen yards for the offense to attack.

243
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: How can you attack that consistently hang onto the ball,

244
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: get yards after catch right when the Chiefs are moving

245
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: the ball and beneffective. Rashie Rice comes to mind, Kelse

246
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: comes to mind. But one of the reasons the Chiefs

247
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: defense has been so good is they are winning those

248
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: battles defensively in that seven to fifteen yard no man's land.

249
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: Why Leo Chanel's playing at a high level, Drew Trankle

250
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: is playing at a high level, Willigay Junior is playing

251
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: at a high level. When Bolt's out there, he's playing

252
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: at a high level. People say the linebacker is a dinosaur.

253
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: Not so much, not in this day and age, particularly

254
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: the linebackers that you have the reason I say that

255
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders linebackers are playing like the Chiefs linebackers. Robert

256
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Splaine has three. This is a team that has ten

257
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: interceptions the Raiders from six different guys. They're leading interceptors

258
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: a linebacker. And then you got Devn Diablo, the former

259
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech hoky. He's playing the best football of his career.

260
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: And to me, it's rallying around Antonio Pierce because he's

261
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: an awesome mentor who was a great linebacker that won

262
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl.

263
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 2: Does Divine Diablo not sound like a name that would

264
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: be like in the Replacements or something like a fake name.

265
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Or some Old West movie?

266
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's incredible name, particularly for an asks

267
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: slimmving fan.

268
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: He's playing cards with some old guy in the corner,

269
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: are you so? Yeah, he's playing good.

270
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: Ball, and of course he's a Raider, right, Divine Diablo,

271
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, he is playing good ball. And this defense

272
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: really at all three levels. Outside of Max Crosby, there

273
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: aren't a lot of players on this Raiders defense that

274
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: are like household names, but they're all kind of working

275
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: together at all three levels, and it's working over the

276
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: last handful of weeks when Antonio Pierce took over. And

277
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: it's kind of interesting if you look at the stats

278
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 2: over all for the Raiders defensively, they're middle of the

279
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 2: pack and a lot of them or like bottom third

280
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 2: and a lot of them like in third down. They're

281
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: twenty sixth in the NFL red zone, they're twenty fifth,

282
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: they're twenty first in yards allowed per game. But despite

283
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: all of that, they're thirteenth in points allowed, So what

284
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: does that tell? Yet, they're just finding ways to keep

285
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: teams out of the end zone. It's not just one thing.

286
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: They've just been pretty successful. And thirteenth overall, you know,

287
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: it's it's close to right of the middle of the league.

288
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: But compared to last year, that's a big leap for them.

289
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 2: This defense really struggled last year. They're playing a lot

290
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: better football this season, and particularly right now. It really

291
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 2: all begins with Max Crosby, though, I mean, what a monster.

292
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: This guy is ten and a half sacks already this

293
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: season leaves the NFL with sixty three pressures. You gotta

294
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: know where Max Crosby is at all times. And for

295
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: the most part, the Chiefs have found success against Max Crosby.

296
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago. I remember the game plan

297
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 2: was just brilliant. It used his aggressive nature against him.

298
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: A lot of screens, a lot of quick, little out

299
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: routes where he thinks he has Patrick Mahomes in the grasp,

300
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, Travis Kelce in a tight

301
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: end screen, or Jack McKinnon or whoever is wide open

302
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: a couple of yards down the field gets a big gain.

303
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: I think that kind of approach could work against this

304
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: Raiders defense. But you got to know where Max Crosby

305
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: is at all times.

306
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not falling for that anymore. He's an old,

307
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: grizzled veteran who's like, I see what you're trying to

308
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: do here. For the Chiefs, it's a really interesting you

309
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: and I during a game. There's a thousand things they've

310
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: happened during a game that leads to the eventual winner loss,

311
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: and sometimes will almost always will chart first down. That

312
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: was like the most important thing against the Eagles for

313
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: this game. I'm going to really look at the Chief's

314
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: first possession and second possession of the third quarters. For

315
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: five consecutive weeks, the Chiefs have either had a chance

316
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: to blow somebody out and basically try to pin him

317
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: giving a wrestling term in the second period, and then

318
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: let him up. And those are the two possessions that

319
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: for a consistent five weeks come jumping off the surface.

320
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: And look at the last two weeks, in particular the

321
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: Eagles in the Dolphins game. Both times the Chiefs defense

322
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 2: was playing exceptionally well. They had double digit leads going

323
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: into the third quarter, and they had an opportunity with

324
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: the ball to do what you're saying, to go for

325
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: that knockout punch. They couldn't do it. And we saw

326
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 2: kind of both ends of the spectrum. What can happen

327
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: if you allow good teams to hang around no matter

328
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: how well the defense is playing, You know that good

329
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: team is going to probably find a way to get

330
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 2: back into it because they still have hope, they still

331
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: think they can do it, and it can still run

332
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: their game plan.

333
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: Now.

334
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 2: Fortunately against Miami, Dolphins couldn't get it done and the

335
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs found a way in the end. But unfortunately against Philadelphia,

336
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: you allow them to hang around. And yeah, you're up

337
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: ten points in the third quarter. But Philadelphia has the

338
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: number three scoring offense in the NFL. They're a team

339
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: that knows how to win football games, much like the

340
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs do, and they found a way in the end.

341
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 2: You got to give them credit. But you're right. I mean,

342
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: the Chiefs had an opportunity there to go up seventeen

343
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: points on Philadelphia, and at that point Philly has to

344
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: kind of abandon their game plan because there's not enough

345
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: time left. But if it's only a ten point deficit

346
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: and they have the ball, it's still very well within

347
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: the scope of them running their game plan and getting

348
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 2: back into it. And I mean that's what happened to

349
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: the Chiefs Sun Monday. And just like we talked about earlier,

350
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: you just got to learn from that. You got a

351
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: pinpoint what's going wrong early in the third quarter, what's

352
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: going wrong in the second half, and try to correct it.

353
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: And if you keep going back. They could have gone

354
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: up twenty eight on the Dolphins, they could have gone

355
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: up and taken the lead in the loss at Denver.

356
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: They could have gone up twenty one on the Chargers.

357
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: They could have gone up three scores on the Broncos.

358
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: That's a five week period where it all goes back

359
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: to that spot and you just laid it out so

360
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: very eloquently. Now, let's just look at this Raider offense

361
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: a bit. Aidan O'Connell is the guy. So, George karlofft

362
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: this is your key here. He if you're going to

363
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: beat a Purdue quarterback, you get a Purdue defensive end. Right.

364
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Is it either boiler up or boiler down? Indiana, hoo's

365
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: your fans like to say boiler down. Purdue fans love

366
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: to say boiler up. Let's hope it's Carloftis boiler up

367
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: and Aidan O'Connell boiler down. But his forty six yard

368
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: pass a DeVante Adams, get your attention. This is a

369
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: tough kid. I watched him play at Purdue. You got

370
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: to knock him out to beat him. He's a tough dude.

371
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: How about Cam Jones getting a sack on Aidan O'Connell

372
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 2: this weekend.

373
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: Old oaken bucket. You know they're playing this week. This

374
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: is the week it's rivalry. Ye're right, Indiana perdue for

375
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: the old oak and bucket.

376
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: So yeah, there we go.

377
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: I want Cam Jones, he sacked aid or Carl Loftis

378
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: and take it. Oh no, we went to the Indiana

379
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: guy doing it right. So you can take an old

380
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: oakn bucket and put it over his head? Would that

381
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: be a fifteen yard penalty? Maybe maybe during the game.

382
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: Don't do that, maybe metaphorically afterward. Metaphorically it would be

383
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: key because you're going to get a fine probably if

384
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: you do it after the game. But for you, I,

385
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: you fans, let's hope by Cam Jones, I gets Aidan O'Connell.

386
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you about Josh Jacobs. Two

387
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: hundred rushes. That's twenty five more than the next closest guy,

388
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: which is Christian McCaffrey or Travis Etn of Jacksonville touches

389
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty one touches. He has almost half

390
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: of their advancements. This is still about the old Tulsa

391
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: native Josh Jacobs.

392
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: In kind of a weird season for him so far.

393
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: So he said he's touching the ball a lot. Leads

394
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: the NFL and rushing this season in terms of rushes

395
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 2: in terms of attempts, but he's only averaging three point

396
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: three to one yards per carry this year. Really strange

397
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: for a player like Josh Jacobs. He's top to one

398
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: hundred yards rushing just one time, did that a couple

399
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: weeks ago. So not having his best season, but we

400
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: still know what Josh Jacobs can do. And talking about

401
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 2: Aiden O'Connell, when you have a young rookie quarterback, how

402
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: do you help that quarterback. You give your running back,

403
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: your guy that is one of the better running backs

404
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: in the league, give him the ball and allow Aiden

405
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: O'Connell to have that opportunity for play action. Taking some

406
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 2: of the pressure off of him. Even though Josh Jacobs

407
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,239
Speaker 2: is not putting up crazy numbers this year, still has

408
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 2: to be the top priority for the Chiefs defense to

409
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: make sure they slow him down, don't let him get going.

410
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: And the good news for Kansas City is last week

411
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 2: against Philadelphia, who runs the ball as well as anybody,

412
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: they really contained those runners for much of the game.

413
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 2: They were really good. The Chiefs actually out gained Philadelphia

414
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: rushing wise, I think by double in the first half

415
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 2: last week. So those are good signs. Got to make

416
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: sure you stop Josh Jacobs because Aidan O'Connell, as a rookie,

417
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 2: has started the last three games for the Raiders two touchdowns,

418
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: four interceptions, a passer rating under seventy. He's a rookie, Okay,

419
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: he's young, he'll make mistakes, but you're right. A great

420
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 2: pass to Devontae Adams for a touchdown last week against Miami.

421
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: He can make plays. And how do you put your

422
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: quarterback in a position to make plays like that? You

423
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 2: run the football effectively. So the key to stopping Aidan O'Connell,

424
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: I believe, is stopping Josh Jacobs.

425
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: And the Raiders are And by the way, aid O'Connell

426
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: was the first Raiders rookie quarterback to win his first

427
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 1: two starts in Raider history. So it's a pretty good

428
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: list of guys, I think. But anyway, and then they're

429
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: special teams. I was talking to Dave tob earlier this week.

430
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: They're rated number one in the league overall. And you

431
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: look at the year the punters having coal, you look

432
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: at Carlson makes every kick, Their coverage units are awesome.

433
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 1: So special teams for the Chiefs are going to have

434
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: to be on their a.

435
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 2: Game, absolutely, And I think if you look at the

436
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: Philadelphia game, there's a couple of moments on special teams

437
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: there where field position swings made a big difference in

438
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: the end. It's a great opportunity for the chief Special

439
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 2: teams unit to make some plays against these Raiders. And

440
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: think about the last time we were there in Las Vegas,

441
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: a big, big victory for Kansas City. Kind of felt

442
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: like there was knockout blows given in the first half, right, Well,

443
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 2: you can deal those on special teams. And when you're

444
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 2: facing a team in the Raiders who's playing really hard

445
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: for their head coach, how do you get that team's

446
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: morale down? Force a fumble on special teams, have a

447
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 2: kickoff return for a touchdown, things like that. All of

448
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 2: a sudden, the Raiders are playing from far behind the

449
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: offense for the Chiefs gets confidence as well. Those would

450
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: be some great things to see. I think some big

451
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: time special teams plays here here in this game against

452
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: the Raiders. It's indoor. We're not playing outside in the

453
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: rain like we were against the Eagles on Monday night.

454
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 2: Great opportunity for our special teams to go out and

455
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 2: have a great game.

456
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 1: So if you're on the infield and you boot one,

457
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: don't fear the next one. Go attack it, get it,

458
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: and maybe you boot two or three but you come

459
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: back and learn from your lesson going hit the ball

460
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: right at me, and you go on to win State.

461
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: Take on the next play and the next game. The

462
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: teams that win in the NFL consistently do exactly that
