1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: This is the Chief's official podcast network taking dannage on 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: the day. When you get out the game, they can 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: play touchdown Kansas City the Chiefs. All right in the 4 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: thick of a baby. Well, there are episodes of Defending 5 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: the Kingdom and then there's the Radar Week edition of 6 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom Mitch Alters with your Voice of the 7 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: Chiefs along with the tenure National Football League veteran barber 8 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,560 Speaker 1: shop Shop Sean Barber. All right, here we go raid 9 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: Or Week, And really what this means when you look 10 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: at it in a sixty year context of the age 11 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: of the franchises, now Oakland and now we play in 12 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: the coliseum all that time. But I mean, both of 13 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: our memories can flow even if you go back to 14 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: the old AFL days, that late NBC game Charlie Jones 15 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: and ld regard Us and Lenny Dawson against the notice 16 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: Taylor against Ben Davidson. But even in recent years what 17 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: it has been and meant, I don't care if it's 18 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: Richmond against James Madison, Smith's center against Phillipsburg. To have 19 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: a rivalry, to play this game with a rivalry, what 20 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: say you, man as as a former player that has 21 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: been in the lock room and to understand how quickly 22 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: the focus goes from the former week's opponent to Radar week. 23 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: It was It's like the air was different. It's like 24 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: the food tasted better at lunchtime. The practice has got 25 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: a little bit longer because the coaches wanted to make 26 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: sure they fine tuned all the details, the anticipation in 27 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: the intensity about practice. The third drills got a little 28 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: bit tougher. We stripped the ball a little bit with 29 00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: a little bit more tenacity to get our guys ready. 30 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: Everybody just focused in and honed up their skills a little. 31 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: You wanted your weapons to be a little sharper going 32 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: into Radar week. Every time I had a chance to 33 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: line up against the Rads when I was here with 34 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. To have a rivalry, though, to play this 35 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: game with rivalry, any rivalry, to me, is a blessing. 36 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: We take it for granted. And there's some franchises in 37 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: the league that really don't have that rival whether they've 38 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: been moved around or late comming, or they switched divisions, 39 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: like even Seattle Seattles in the AFC at one time 40 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: in our division. Then they ship them out to go 41 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: to the NFC West when Houston came into being in 42 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and two. But to me, there's just something 43 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: to have it specialist. Our first quarter here is on 44 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: its Raiders Week. But to have something like this, to 45 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: me makes the experience of being around our Chiefs team 46 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: all the more. And in the history of the teams, right, 47 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 1: the number of players that have been a part of 48 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: the history of the Kansaity Chiefs also have been part 49 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: of the Raiders when you look at some of that 50 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: that that that historic Hall of Fame level players have 51 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: been in each organization, and the battles for talent between 52 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: the Lamar Hunts and then the Al Davis is about 53 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: what as a coaching staff, what's a scout, a player, 54 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: the son of a scout, whatever it is. Um it 55 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: seemed like two Wild West gun slingers, guns ablazing point 56 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: at one another and thinking who's gonna flinch first to 57 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: make the call the Raiders versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Man, 58 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: you didn't say it, it's Raider week, And to me 59 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: the almost feels like two like the Gruden bull and 60 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: here's why he's got a young team. I'm kind of 61 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: impressed with him. What they showed Monday night against the Broncos. 62 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: They had three first round draft picks. I mean, they've 63 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: been trading dudes for picks. Um so I was impressed 64 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: with this young team. But somehow, to me, Gruden has 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: got to convince his guy one the Chiefs aren't that 66 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: far ahead of us. That's what they're saying inside there. 67 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: For I am predicting. The second thing here barbershop to 68 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: look at is the fact that after this game. Okay, 69 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 1: so last year in the Coliseum, but after this game, 70 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Gruden and the Raiders do not go back to the 71 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: Coliseum to play until November the third. They go on 72 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: the road. Four out of five weeks, they have a 73 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: bye week. Their home game, so to speak, is in London. 74 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: After this game, these dudes are shipping out. You talk 75 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: about veterans, you talk about defending your home field advantage. 76 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: It's kind of like they got to split the season 77 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: up into two seasons. They have these first two games 78 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: to get out to a fast start, to make an impact, 79 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: to make it known, Hey, AB might not be around, 80 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: but we're still a team to be record with. We 81 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: talk about AB. You know, it's one of those things 82 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: where you talk about addition from from subtraction. How can 83 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 1: you add to your team's focus subtracting a distraction? And 84 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: I think that's the final straw that lad to ab 85 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: having his walking papers there with he was just such 86 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: a distraction practice field out in social media, on Twitter 87 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: and phase of everything that the organization we would be 88 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: a better team. He is by far and everybody one 89 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: of the top three you can I think everybody would 90 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: say he's a top three wide receiver talent in this league, 91 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: but also maybe one of the top three distractions in 92 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: this league. And when it comes to playing this game, 93 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: you need everybody tuned in, ready to go, all systems, 94 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: go guns ablaze when it comes time to play on Sunday. 95 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: And I think he just he was causing so much 96 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: chaos in that organization that coach Gruden said, hey, we 97 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: just got to move on and move on. They did 98 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: on against the Denver Broncos. We saw a different raider mentality. 99 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: We saw an aggressive explosion offense, a quarterback with a 100 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: fast trigger. We saw a nasty, tenacious defense. Birth fett 101 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: Is letting it be known he's still in the middle, 102 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: hard hitting safety. Too bad he's lost for the season, 103 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: but they got some character. They got some skilled players 104 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: and some guys on that defensive Saturday. The ball is 105 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: ready for their season to be. Now, you know, there's 106 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 1: white vests you wear when you work out kind of 107 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: sometimes you can put on those. It's like they took 108 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: that off. That's what it reminds me of when I 109 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: saw them play. All right, enough about them, we'll get 110 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: to them a little bit later in the third quarter. 111 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: We end the first quarter which was focusing on Raider 112 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: week and what it means. Second quarter dealing with the Chiefs, 113 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: and that is week one to week two. You always 114 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: hear football at every level talk about week one to 115 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: week two? Who improves, who makes a great performance a habit? 116 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: Who makes a good performance great? Who makes an average 117 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: performance good? When you look at a Sammy Watkins, I 118 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: mean that was a great performance, the best in the 119 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: league by any wide receiver. Now, what do you do 120 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: the next week? I'm Aicole Hardman with the injury to 121 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, no catches one target? What do you do 122 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: the second wink? And we can do this with everybody 123 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: around the team. What is there to this week one 124 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: week two thing? And how do you make it a habit? 125 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: I think man Frank Clark said it it's the leadership. 126 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,559 Speaker 1: It's it's it's going out here on the practice field 127 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: and knowing there's a job to be done and there's 128 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: a way to do it. You do it every day 129 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: at practice with you demand it from yourself first and foremost, 130 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: but then you gotta demand it from your teammate. You 131 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: gotta demanded. Everybody comes to this practice field with a 132 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: goal of getting better and better, perfecting their craft so 133 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: that that defense can come together. I think they were 134 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: happy with the win, but I think a lot of 135 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: guys was disappointed with the amount of points they gave 136 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: up to a team that I think they felt that 137 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: they were dominant. They were much better than jackon Field's offense, 138 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: and they don't feel like the scoreboards showcased it. And 139 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: I like, I like to see that that that edge, 140 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: that little chip on his shoulder. Still even after a win, 141 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: a great showcase and getting in week one splash interception 142 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: to kind of seal things off, but he came out 143 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: that locker room which was still aged. No, I'm not satisfied. 144 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm still hungry to go out there and show these 145 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: guys what this defense will really look like once we arrive. 146 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: Biggest positive to me in the Jacksonville game and cachanic 147 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: carry over to Oakland was this defense showed the propensity 148 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: to swarm. I even had people from who aren't inside 149 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs fort across the country that watched the game 150 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: because there's interests now in the Chiefs nationally that said, oh, 151 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: your defense look different because they were swarming to the ball. 152 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about that. But then also 153 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: this front. I'm gonna go front to back with this defense. 154 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: Eight guys played up front. Eight different dudes were rotated 155 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: in and when I watched the tape, all eight guys 156 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: contributed those eight front eight And how much do they 157 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: contribute to and is there a swarming mentality of this defense? 158 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: The front eight I think got so excited knowing that 159 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna get a chance to play a part in 160 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: this when you only got four starters, and then you 161 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: the other guys know that they get to trickle in 162 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: every other series and maybe a few snaps here, Um, 163 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: we'll get you in at the end of the first quarter, 164 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: and then maybe something so you know, you know, the 165 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: first guy's gonna get the mountain load of the reps. 166 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: And then you're just gonna kind of gas him, or 167 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna come in and give him, you know, spell 168 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: him for a little period of time when he's tired. 169 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: It's hard to be excited about that as a number two. 170 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: But I think we got we got a starting four. 171 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: So we got a one and then we got one a's. 172 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: We don't have no no, no second string. We got 173 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: eight ones and we can mix and match him um 174 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: based off of different sets and personalities and different things 175 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: you want to get done on the field. And every 176 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: one of the eight has their uh, their strong point, 177 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: whether it's the size and length of a t K passoneau, 178 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: whether it's the tenacity of a Frank Clark, whether it's 179 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: the bulldozed mentality of a Derek Noddy um, the unique 180 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: unblockability of a Chris Jones UM. And then we got 181 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: some new pieces uh with Oka for and Agba uh 182 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: and what they could bring to the pass rush capability. 183 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: So this just as a starting front four, you might 184 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: have to call them a starting front eight. Yeah, and 185 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: I love it. And teams don't have that many guys usually, 186 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: and if they do, they can't rotate them. It takes 187 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: some skill to rotate them. Then the back seven on defense, 188 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: and this is where people want to see what's going 189 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: to happen. In the second week, there was tackling, there 190 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: was good tackling in space. There were the big plays 191 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: given up. Minshew was I'll tell you, Jacksonville may have 192 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: found something with that kid with Minshew. They may have 193 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 1: just stumbled into it. But then the big plays given up, Like, 194 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: got to reduce those this week. And we're gonna get 195 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: to Oakland here in the third quarter. But in the 196 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: second quarter with the Chiefs defense, whomever they're against the 197 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: back seven this week, Yeah, they got to keep progressing. 198 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: Like we said, um, overall, our defense was number one 199 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: in the league as far as preseason, as far as 200 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 1: the tackling rating. You know, PF they track everything. They 201 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: track they think distance travel, they they they how much 202 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: waterlog They track everything on the field, but they also 203 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: track a tackling rating. And the Chiefs defense was number 204 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 1: one in the preseason. And that just came from a mentality. 205 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: I think we heard Wilson, one of our linebackers, talk 206 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: about not only his fumble caused the he calls a 207 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: learning from that to fumble, but just the mentality of 208 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: a defense now with coach bags, and it was more 209 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: so of a we we rallied to the ball. We 210 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: seahawk tackle. But it's about taking as many steps as 211 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: possible to close that distance that in itself will eliminate 212 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: or minimize mis tackles by an infinite amount. Once a 213 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: guy leaves his feet, he has no control. It becomes 214 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: the offensive guy advantage. But if you can stay on 215 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: your feet, stay square, keep your shoulder pads down and 216 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: be ready to strike and pounce and then rip at 217 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,559 Speaker 1: the ball. That's why we you know that swarm and mentality. 218 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: You never saw any green grass when the Jacksonville Jaguars 219 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: got caught the ball. It was no green grass. It 220 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: was no way to make gas miss. It was always 221 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: second and third hat on the ball, coming within two 222 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: or three yards. And with the mentality of flying to 223 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: the ball. Before the game, people thought that the Chiefs 224 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: defense Schools was gonna be the one that sucking win. 225 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: And I had to worry about did we have enoughing 226 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: to tank to take the environment of being one hundred 227 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: and twenty degrees on the turf field. But as the 228 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: game went along, and with those two the first four 229 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: drives of the game after that point. You just saw 230 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville defense just take a turn for the worst 231 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: and our defense take a turn for the better. That, 232 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: to me, though, is the genius of Andy Reid. He 233 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: is a genius more than just XS and o's. He's 234 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: I'd have him train our Olympic team because he knows 235 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: how to train a team to get them ready. You're 236 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: five and zero on the road in the opening week 237 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: of a seat his seven years here, I mean barber shop. 238 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: That's crazy. That's the way against the trends of the league. 239 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: All Right, we're at halftime here, eight or a week 240 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: into defending the Kingdom and choulders with you along with 241 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: Sean Barber. We got a lot more to come. You're 242 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: gonna want to be here in the second half, So 243 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: grab your O engine. It goes. This is quick halftime 244 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: in real games, it's twelve minutes for us. It's one second. 245 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: Boom there it is. That's your one second a half time. 246 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: Now we get to the third quarter. I'm going to 247 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: dive a little more into this two nineteen edition of 248 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: the Raiders and how it pertains to the Kansas City Chiefs, 249 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: and let's stay on the Chiefs defense versus the Raiders offense. 250 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: Last year, Derek Carr was sacked fifty one times. Fifty 251 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: one times, that's like four a game. He got the 252 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: crub beat out of him against Denver. Now sacks against him. 253 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: Why the ball was coming out fast. Now, when you're 254 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense and the ball comes out fast, and 255 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: you got to respect this rookie running back Josh Jacobs 256 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: and the tight end waller. But when the ball comes 257 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: out faster with dude, get some sacks. Get some sacks 258 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: when the ball's coming out you know in two steps. 259 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that matchup and how Oakland to me, 260 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: has changed their approach to protect Derek Carr. Well. I 261 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: think he looked at the game last week and eight 262 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: and he real asted he was going against two premier 263 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: pass rushers and Vaughan Miller um um And and Bradley Chubb, 264 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: and realized their guys had no had no chance. And 265 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: even when you watch the film, they mada stayed in 266 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 1: front of him for a half second, but it was 267 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: basically a dead outsprint from their stands to the quarterback. 268 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: But Derek Carry, he took care of business. He got 269 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: the ball out of his hands. Once the ball was 270 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: snapped and got to him. He got the ball out 271 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: of his hands and two receivers and in a record 272 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: amount of time um to avoid any quarterback sacks and 273 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: not really even that many pressures. So when you look 274 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: at a defensive if a guy's gonna get rid of 275 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: the ball that fast, um, it's a way to play 276 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: protection with your secondary covering the receivers. Uh, you gotta 277 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: get a little bit closer. You can't, you can't. You 278 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: can't play six seven yards off if they're running three 279 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: yard routes. You gotta even they're gonna throw three four 280 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: yard slants and and out routes. You gotta, you gotta, 281 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: you gotta scoot up a little bit, um. And then 282 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: also the d line gotta be smart. One of the 283 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: best guys on our defensive front of doing this is 284 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: Chris Jones. He plays with an amazing amount of vision. 285 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: Even though he's passed rushing against offensive linemen tackle, guard, center, 286 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: his eyes are always on the quarterback and when he 287 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: sees that ball being loaded, he stops pass rushing. He 288 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: gets himself set into a passing lane and then he 289 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: gets those big paws up to create batted balls and 290 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: knockdown ball. So I would I would. I would guess 291 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna see a lot of a delayed blitz. Is 292 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: a delayed rushes guys kind of preparing for that ball 293 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: to come out so fast and getting your body and 294 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: set in a passing lane and getting your hands up. 295 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: And with that, you also have to have a couple 296 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: guys that are not doing that and are kind of 297 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: coming off that edge in case he decides to hold 298 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: it or he he reloads it so that we can 299 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: get some immediate pressure on him. So I think it's 300 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: a it's just a different mentality of pass rushing, being 301 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: aware of the three step in the quick game, and 302 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: then when you blitz realize they do have You know, 303 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: Tyrell Williams is capable of getting behind the defense and 304 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: making a play. This new tight end has kind of 305 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: come from nowhere. The rail waller has has shown that 306 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 1: he has a propensity to be able to get vertical 307 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 1: and he has some great athleticism. And those guys they've 308 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: made it. They've made some plays down the field to 309 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: keep you from getting all eleven guys up in the box. 310 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 1: But it's just the way of going at it. I 311 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: think we have to really look at that film and 312 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: that's the format, and that's the philosophy of the Raiders 313 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: new offense. We got to do some things a little 314 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: different differently defense to counter it. And another thing that 315 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: always tell people at camp to watch oldal because it's footwork, 316 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: it's punch. It's CounterPunch to me in this game too, 317 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: because the ball's coming out so fast from the Oakland Raiders. 318 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: Is that who wins that two to four yard battle. 319 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: If I'm going to press you and play you tighter, 320 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: then I've got to get a punch on you. It's 321 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: my footwork's got to be clean because if I missed 322 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: the punch or I get a misstep or whatever. And 323 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: you talk about Tyrrelle Williams, even if it's a short throw, 324 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: now he's passed me and he's in space against maybe 325 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: I've got a guy back. Maybe I don't. If you're 326 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: cover zero and all of a sudden, now now you've 327 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: got a big problem. So how it's hand placement, it's 328 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: hip move, feet um, it's collegiate wrestling to me um 329 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: on the outside. When it's when you're playing at tight 330 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: coverage in that two to four yard range. Yeah, and 331 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: that's what the corners I mean you know, I saydary 332 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: coach Sam Madison has done a great jo. I mean 333 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: that's that's kind of like his been his game his 334 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: whole career. Um, a shadow corner guy long arm Um, 335 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: not not not always a guy who's had top end speed, 336 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: but he's such a veteran about knowing how to be 337 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: patient with your progression. Uh, not having to explode out 338 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: of your back pedal, but using your hands to reroute 339 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: in the Jude routes and realizing the delivery of the 340 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: ball where it needs to come. Able to get his 341 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: hands and his eyes back on the quarterback in certain zones. Um. 342 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: So I'm sure having his leadership in that dB room 343 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: is gonna pay amazing dividends off on the field. Uh, 344 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: come Sunday. Yeah, I signed a line attack just because 345 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: they move guys around. Waller moves around like they move 346 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: Kelsey or if we move Kelsey around, So that means, oh, 347 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,440 Speaker 1: he's out here. And now what does that mean? Because 348 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: you gotta sit there. I'm a corner. Now I'm staring 349 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: at a tight end who is outside the numbers and 350 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: he does not motion back inside. So to me, it's 351 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: you got your assignment. I gotta align but I gotta 352 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: play with an attack mode. I can't be thinking too 353 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: much or I'm also in big trouble. Yeah, a six 354 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: six tight end lining up about it? You know that 355 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: the numbers, um, you know it makes you not want 356 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: to play zone as much, right because you don't want 357 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: that that that matchup against your corners. But um, if 358 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: you start matching up with man, with that guy as 359 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: he gets uh interior linebackers out you know, in space 360 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: way too far out. So it's you gotta do a 361 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,160 Speaker 1: little bit of both. You can't be predictable. You gotta 362 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: be able to play a little man, a little zone, 363 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: bring some pressure, do everything we've been doing. But it's 364 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: like you're saying being on your keys, no your alignment, 365 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: no your assignment. But then when the ball is snapped. 366 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: H you know everybody has, they said, Mike Tyson, everybody 367 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: has a game playing until that first punch. Same thing 368 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: in football that that offensive playbook looks really good until 369 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: our defense smacks him in the mouth. And then you 370 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: have some guys dropping some balls worrying about being hit. Um, 371 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: and that's when that aggressive tech, you know, that that 372 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: aggressiveness that Frank Clark talks about, so much. That intimidation 373 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: factor that sometimes you can't account for that there is 374 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: no time clock or no no measurable that it accounts 375 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: for that, that intimidation factor. And I know that's where 376 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: he wants to this defense to be Numero uno, number 377 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: one in the league when it comes to intimidating offenses. 378 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: Still in the third quarter of this edition of Defending 379 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: the Kingdom, which is Raiders week edition of Defending the Kingdom, 380 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 1: mitcholters with you along with Sean Barber, and we appreciate you. 381 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: So many people have come back saying, hey, we'd love 382 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: to listen to you. You You drive us home. We want 383 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: to listen to the whole thing as we drive around 384 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: before we go into the garage or whatever. All right, 385 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: because before we go to the fourth quarter, I want 386 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: to talk about the Chiefs offense. Patrick Mahomes last week 387 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 1: had to play with the you know, the ankle. They 388 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: took a look at it. He just gutted it out there. 389 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: Excited to see what Shady McCoy was able to do 390 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: along with Damian Williams great tag team there the ability 391 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: of this offense to absorb the Tyreek Hill injury, meaning 392 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: coach Read Engineers his offense and engineers his personnel working 393 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: with Brett Veach to be you know, you say next 394 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 1: man up, next man up, but that doesn't always mean hey, 395 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: barbershops out, hold us is in or vice person. This 396 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: means a whole bunch of guys can step up for 397 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. What about mahomes gutting through the ankle issue 398 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: last week against Jacksonville and the fact that you saw 399 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: Shady McCoy and Williams with a nice tag team and 400 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: then the whole Well, maybe it's next men up for 401 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. I like that, saym better, I think I 402 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: think it's gonna take more than one person and replace 403 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: with Tyreek Hill brings his offense, taking the top off 404 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: the end of a defense. The amount of respect as 405 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: from the safety. Safety was almost scared to shade too 406 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: much away from him because you know, he had to 407 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: be ready to help somebody want to go route at 408 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: any moment from Tyreek Hill. But mccohe, I mean, he 409 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: brings that same top end speed to the to the game, 410 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: so um he can kind of get into that same 411 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: role of causing a little bit of a shaking us 412 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: in uh in the secondary for the Raiders when it 413 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: comes to being just man and man. They don't have 414 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: the fastest secondary. They don't have guys that can really 415 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: just turn and run. That's where they struggle. Uh. They 416 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: try to replace that with being physical. They want to 417 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: use physicality to keep you from going vertical, keep you 418 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage jam and reroute um, and 419 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: then throw your timing off. But we've had guys that 420 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: excel at their release. That's one thing. UM. I think 421 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: the Cheetah was underappreciated, the undervalued for his release. UM 422 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: at times almost unguardable because you couldn't get a hand 423 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: on him. Um. And then you refer to the running 424 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: back position. UM. And we had a good core going 425 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: into the season. We felt great about it. UM, so 426 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: good about it. We were able. We was able to 427 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: let Um Carlos High go to another team and be 428 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: very productive because we were so comfortable with having Darwin 429 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,239 Speaker 1: Williams and Errol Williams UM still in the fold. And 430 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: then we see Shady Koy, Shady McCoy come into the 431 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: building and it's almost like he never missed a step, 432 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: like like he's been a part of this offense, dreaming 433 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: about it every day while he was at Buffalo, can't 434 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: wait to get back to andy Land. Uh, so I 435 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: can get that one step cut um. You know, he's 436 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 1: he's always had that deadly h one two step and 437 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: plant and he used it early and often over eighty 438 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: yards on, you know, on average of eight yards to 439 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: carry um on a number of carries man, and and 440 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: and showing that he still has a lot left in 441 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: the tank. Um. It's a lot to be very excited 442 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: about when you go to position to position with this offense. Yeah, 443 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: for Shady, it's almost like in a custom car, like 444 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: you're thinking, well, what you got left or wait a minute, 445 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: that's like getting like going to the custom car show. 446 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: Like it's a older model, but man, it's better than 447 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: anything you could buy new. That's what I'm getting from 448 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: Shady McCoy. And the other thing is I said it's 449 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: like getting brand new power tool. People give me a 450 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,199 Speaker 1: hard time about saying put the hammer down. Hey, I 451 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: mean it when I say it, and that dude is 452 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: a hammer. I'm telling you it is good to have 453 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 1: Shady in andy Land. As you say. Now, let's move 454 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter of this Raiders Week edition of 455 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom, and it has to deal with what 456 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 1: could be the last trip to the coliseum. As soon 457 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: as I say last trip to the coliseum, somebody who'd say, well, 458 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: wait a minute, the Oakland could win the division, you 459 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 1: could be a wild card enough to go back there. Okay, 460 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: I get it, but let's just say there's a high 461 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: probability that this is the last game to go into 462 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: the Coliseum. And to me, there's a bunch of things 463 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,880 Speaker 1: in play here historically, but it is a little bit 464 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: weird thinking this is going to be it for that place. 465 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: I mean, as a guy who played with Kansas City, man, 466 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: you definitely want to leave that that arena for the 467 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: last time on a great note. You want you want 468 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: to be able to walk out with your head hell high, 469 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: knowing you gave your best effort. But it also with 470 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: a victory. You want it, You want it to let 471 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: it be known that, hey man, this this team has 472 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: been dominated. We we dominated the Raiders even when I 473 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: was here in three point five. Um somehow, some way 474 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter they found a way to lose 475 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: the game. Um Or we just found a way to 476 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: embarrass the entire the entire sixty minutes. But either way, 477 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: we knew it was gonna walk out of that uh, 478 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: that fight with the l I mean, with the with 479 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: the win and giving them the lum at the end 480 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: of the day. So um, I think most of the players, 481 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, like we said, we had some new guys 482 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: to the Kingdom, um, but I think it's it's important 483 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: that they know and learn the history of this Raider 484 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: Chiefs rivalry so that they know the importance of ending this, 485 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: uh this last trip to the coliseum on a very 486 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: very um high note and a deafening win for Chiefs Kingdom. 487 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: A couple of things here, and I remember that you 488 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: know that feels sets below sea level, So I remember 489 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: the O two game where there's a monsoon. That's they 490 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: got us in that one. But also remember there was 491 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: sewage coming up from the bottom of the field and 492 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: our guys talking about Eric Kix, I mean, where guys 493 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: are getting like hepatitis shots or something after the game. 494 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: That was pretty crazy. And then last year, you know, 495 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: the bathroom backed up. That's a whole other matter. What 496 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: is a practical matter in this game? To me though, 497 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: and the coach talked about it earlier in the week, 498 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 1: and I'll ask him right before the game, where we 499 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: do our a pregame on the radio network, and that 500 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 1: is the playing surface. Yeah, okay, even if it's sunshining 501 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: in this game, that there's a slick surface to it 502 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: because it just sets below sea level. The other thing 503 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: is Tom Melbourne is a tight ends coach of the Chiefs. Well, 504 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: his cousin is the manager of the Oakland A's. I 505 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 1: saw Tom earlier this week and I said, I'm mad 506 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: at your guy because I said the ah should be 507 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: out of it by now and let's just see that 508 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: thing to grass and A's play on the road the 509 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: rest of the time. He said, no, the A's are 510 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: mad at us because we're tearing up their infield. I mean, honestly, 511 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 1: when you look at it and think about it, this 512 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: is very unique. Mike Shackiny, you know, we know, Mike 513 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: VP for the Chiefs brought up something, this could be 514 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 1: the last game in the NFL felt ever played on 515 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: a Major League baseball field. Yeah. And they also used to, 516 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: I mean almost used to be. Giants played at Yankee Stadium, 517 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: the Bears played at Wrigley Field, nine Ers played it 518 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: to Keysar Stadium or whatever, a Candlestick Park, and HW 519 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, I mean to play in the 520 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: coliseum on this surface, it's something more than just some 521 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: nostalgic look back. Yeah, you gotta get I mean it's 522 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: something you got a pregame. You walk the field, you 523 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: know the the trigger points, you know the traps and 524 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: where it goes from grass to sand, saying the grass 525 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: and you lay out all right, if I'm in this 526 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: position of the field, i gotta be ready when I'm backpedaling, 527 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: transitioning from my back pedal to plant, to make sure 528 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,239 Speaker 1: that you know half my studs and grass half them 529 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: the dirt. Uh. You always gotta keep you they say 530 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: you keep your feet under your shoulders. You gotta keep 531 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: your footwork within the framework of your shoulders or you'll 532 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: end up slipping and falling. And we know in defense 533 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: Man one slipping fall. We've seen when we did the 534 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: jacks for last week, one slipping fall, mistackle leads to 535 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: a receiver. I'm having a career record game with how 536 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins handled the Jaguars. But but this stadium, it 537 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: is a classic. It's it's a it's it's going back 538 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: to the Roman era, the Colosseum, against all odds. Um 539 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, all of that is being is being brung 540 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: up and it will be seen as a clash of 541 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: the Titans um and in the Raiders versus the chiefs Um. 542 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: It's for the Ages, it's it's it's two great story 543 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: franchises to have so much history.

As a player, I loved it. I 558 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: loved being in the atmosphere because I knew at the 559 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: end of the game when I won it um and 560 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: it was early fourth quarter and we're up by ten 561 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: and their fans have to walk out because they know 562 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: that the game is over.

Where you talking about Roman Coliseum. I 567 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,080 Speaker 1: think we have Russell Crowe. Uh if you go back 568 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: to the movie The Gladie It or Patrick Mahomes is 569 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: Russell Crowe. He's Maximus Patrick, Maximus Mahomes going to the Colisee. 570 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: And the other thing I think about two is Brandon 571 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 1: Flowers with the pick six, putting his foot on the 572 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: ball and flexing both biceps. And the picture where we 573 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: counted twenty one fans and the stands flipping him off 574 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 1: as he was doing that. In the black hole twenty 575 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: ones it was bird hunting season, lots of birds in 576 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: the stands. We're going to close this way. The fact 577 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: that Andy Reid's division dominance, I've done some brought this 578 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 1: up on the Minute with Mitch and some other shows. 579 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,000 Speaker 1: Twenty one in three is Andy Reid in the last 580 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: four years in this division, nobody, no team has had 581 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: a better interdivisional record. Those three losses have all been 582 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: on Thursday nights, including the Coliseum in twenty seventeen, where 583 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,479 Speaker 1: they got seven chances to win it like the nineteen 584 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: seventy two Soviet versus US basketball game where Nope, not 585 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,959 Speaker 1: good enough, Let's do it again. The point is continued 586 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: division dominants. You saw it with Andy. He actually dominated 587 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: the NFC East when he was in Philadelphia. Right now 588 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: he's doing the same with the AFC West. I don't 589 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: want a bull on board material. They sit in bullop 590 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: Moore material. It's just fact. But you got to stay 591 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: on it. We already known that Oakland is a worthy enemy. 592 00:29:54,560 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: But continued division dominance be great, dominate simple, Like Frank say, man, 593 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 1: we gotta we got a legacy to live up to. 594 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: Um um balls shot call us playmakers.
