1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up? 2 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. This is Straight 3 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: Fire for Thursday September. Fired up about a tremendous Thursday 4 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: night football game tonight, Chiefs Chargers a f C West showdown. 5 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: Can the Chargers look like the Super Bowl contender everybody 6 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: thinks they are, including me? Can the Chiefs continue to 7 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: roll without Tyreek Hill? I'm fired up? And we have 8 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: a great guest to preview the game from six ten 9 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, Josh Klingler. Guy has an impressive website. 10 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: He's covered the cheese from many many years. Good good stuff. 11 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: He dropped a bomb in terms of a stat from 12 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 1: a Chiefs player that I had no clue. Had to 13 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: look it up during the interview. You'll hear it. It's interesting. 14 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,520 Speaker 1: She start kind of beat up. We'll get to a 15 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: best bet later in the podcast. But first, uh, we 16 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: have actually an NBA story. I kind of brushed it 17 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: off yesterday because we were waiting, you know, and I 18 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: saw it. I was like, I don't know, it's a 19 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: middle of football season. I can't I can't get into 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: this story. And then of course today, how do you 21 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: get into Robert Servers one year suspension. Well, Lebron James 22 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: and Chris Paul jump on social media and fire off 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: some massive shots upset with Adam Silver. It's unclear if 24 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: they're staging a Brandon Walsh type walkout, and I specifically 25 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: mean Chris Paul and the Suns, but it is I 26 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: don't know that. It feels like a flashpoint moment for 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: the NBA right now, but something is potentially going to 28 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: go bad here for the NBA. Um they have kind 29 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: of put themselves in the and I hate to use 30 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: this word. I even hate when people say it. It's 31 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: so lame. They're kind of in the woke corner, right. 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: They really are far left, not the extreme right like 33 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: some of the whack jobs out there, but they are 34 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: close to the extreme left, and they have really trumpeted that. 35 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: And Silver has won a lot of points. And now 36 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: because of the decision that they didn't take the team 37 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: away or banish him from the league, and a comment 38 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: specifically that Silver made uh really irked apparently a lot 39 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: of the players. And again, I hate these political stories. 40 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: I hate what politics has done to sports. I'm not 41 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: gonna put blame on the guy, but it's obvious who 42 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 1: started his whole political nonsense. Everything is politicized from music, 43 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: movie TVs. Athletes. It's all gone over the edge because 44 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: of one guy, like six years ago. It's frustrating. It's 45 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: really annoying that we gotta sit here. And yeah, obviously 46 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: Robert Sarver screwed up. I don't know that he's a racist. 47 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: He made racist comments. Is he a sexist? I don't know, 48 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: he made some sexist comments. You know this, this is 49 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: an old dude, And you know, is he to whacky 50 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: grandfather at Thanksgiving? You saying dumbass things and you're like, geez, 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: that's cringeworthy. Oh my gosh, good thing you didn't say 52 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: that in public. You know. Is it one of those deals? 53 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: Or is this guy really as bad as the Clippers 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: owner who they banished from the league. And it's kind 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: of Adam Silver saying no, he's not at that level, 56 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: but he's on high alert. And then Adam Silver really 57 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: I think got it wrong when he's like, hey, we 58 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: hold the owners and the players to different standards and 59 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: people who work in the league, and it's like, yeah, 60 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: we get it. That's known. We understand that Elon Musk 61 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: has different standards than his employees, that top executives at 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: Apple have different standards and their employees. Like, I get 63 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: some of that. I know that it's not fair, it's 64 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: not right. That's how it is. You don't think it 65 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: fs one if I say something out of pocket that 66 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: I could get booted. Seriously, I mean, some guys have 67 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: way more leeway than because they're higher up on the 68 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: donable I like to think there's not many, but again, 69 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: like that's just the reality, guys. That's how. I don't 70 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: think it's fair. I don't think it's right. But unfortunately, 71 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: that's kind of like if the quarterback screws up, it's 72 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: getting a slap on the wrist. If the backup left 73 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: guard screws up, so the book at him. I mean, 74 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: we've seen this at Alabama. I know it's college kids, 75 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: it's obviously different. But arrest for a star, all right, 76 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: we'll set you for a half. Arrest for a marginal player, 77 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: you're off the team. Like, again, I don't think it's right, 78 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: but it's kind of how it is now. I'm not 79 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: excusing any of this asinine behavior from Starver in these comments. 80 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: We've known this got to be a total clown and 81 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: ESPN really exposed him in a story last year. Um, 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: he's been the owner, I think for seventeen years. And 83 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: it's not like this was a one off screw up. 84 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: We all everybody had one off screws. People say stuff, 85 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: they take it back again, Like I I hate going 86 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: after people at their lowest moment when they make a 87 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: bad mistake, because I've been there. You've been there, don't 88 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: act like you haven't now if you're If it's repeated racism, 89 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: misogyny like that, it's a problem. And that's what's unclear. 90 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: Like it's easy to read destroy and say, yes, that 91 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: is on purpose. He's a racist, he's a misogynists getting 92 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: the hell out of here. It's easy to say that 93 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: reading the story. But again, does the NBA no more 94 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: have they been around this guy more? Obviously the starvers 95 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Starvers becoming a big story. Here's where the NBA gets lucky. 96 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: NFL place tonight, assuming the game will be great, NBA 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: get pushed off the front page. Then there's Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 98 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: and by Monday, nobody's really talking about Sarve anymore. Now, 99 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: just in the middle of the NBA season, I think 100 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: the NBA has a big problem, so we'll see what happens. 101 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: I would not be shocked if Silver reverse course and 102 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: they left a larger punishment. But we'll see what happens. 103 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,559 Speaker 1: Without further ado, let's get to our guest to preview 104 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: Chiefs Chargers Josh Klingler six ten Radio in Kansas City. 105 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: Jason likes to think he knows everything when it comes 106 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: to sports. I know what sports stands want, but for 107 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: everything he doesn't. He knows a guy who does. Just say, 108 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: I know a guy who knows a guy another guy. 109 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome into straight fire to preview the 110 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: what should be epic Chief's Chargers game. I feel like 111 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: all of them are just absolutely tremendous games. Josh Klingler 112 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: Radio guy Casey six ten, Josh, how are you man? 113 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: I'm terrific. Yeah, our first game of the year. I 114 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: guess maybe last week was our game of the year 115 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: two and then now it's game of the year again. Yeah, 116 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: they are. They've been coming that way. Yeah, because they 117 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: get everybody's best punch. Maybe for sure. I just I 118 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: didn't I liked the Arizona last year, and I root 119 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray. I have a friend who happens to 120 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,799 Speaker 1: work in the organization. So I kind of root for Arizona, 121 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: but I'm not buying this year Chief's Chargers though. I 122 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 1: think that's more of a real game. Well, they always 123 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: seem to play thrillers, right the last two years. Yeah, 124 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: they've been really good. Obviously, we had the the Justin 125 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: Herbert debut game, which was one of the wilder ones 126 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: where he's on the bench and then thrust to do 127 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: it and then played pretty well. Um he played. He 128 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: played well at Arrowhead last year as well, and gotta 129 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: win in week two. So yeah, and he's he's been. 130 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: He's been really good against the Chiefs and they got 131 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: the first crack at him when he didn't even have 132 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: any prep form I still think that game was maybe 133 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: the most amazing of the Herbert performances, right, I mean 134 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: he's he is literally cold off the bench in warmups 135 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: and then thrust into a game and didn't look like 136 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: he uh he was even sweating then. So yeah, it's 137 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: been it's been a fun a few matchups at least, 138 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes and Herbert. So so before we dive 139 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: into the game, Josh, I gotta ask, like, what's the 140 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: vibe in case around the Chiefs because I know nationally, 141 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: you know, oh they lose Eyreek Hill. The Bills were 142 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: the best team now and it just seems like there's 143 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: everybody was a little down on the Chiefs before the season, 144 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: and then they opened this can of wood pass on 145 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: Arizona and now it's like, oh, wait, we forgot about 146 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And locally in case, are people still bullet 147 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: or is there someone well we lost to the Bengals 148 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: and now we lost Eyreek Hill. What's the vibe? No, 149 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: I think it was very defensive, would be the vibe, 150 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: like all off season, like everybody's like, you can't you're 151 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: you're doubting us, you're picking against us, And so it 152 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: was a very defensive thing, like anointing the Bills. The 153 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: Bills haven't gotten past the Chiefs in the playoffs yet, 154 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: right Cincinnati, Yes, they won, We almost like erased the 155 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: second half for some reason. There was like you know 156 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: that that that mind wipe of did that really happen? 157 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: That was a blip, that'll be back next year. So 158 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: I think it was very defensive. And then everybody saying that, uh, 159 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: they couldn't do this or that without Tyreek Hill. I 160 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: think fueled up not only the team but the city 161 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: as well, because they're like, are you kidding me, let's go. 162 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: So I think everybody's kind of been on guard, and 163 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: and last week was a pretty good exhale I think 164 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: for everybody like see see where we're still a team 165 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: to contend with. So yeah, defensive I think would be 166 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: my best description of certainly the fan base of the city. 167 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: It's weird people that that Bengals game gets so overlooked 168 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: as oh, the Chiefs were dumb. What isn't it like 169 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: twenty three right before the half and then they couldn't 170 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: score something like that, they get stalled on the one 171 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: I forget the exact scenario. Yeah, yeah, I mean it 172 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: was double double digit lead at home. You get the halftime, 173 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: and I mean the stadium's feeling it, I mean you 174 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like there's like, oh, they're they're 175 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: on the cusp of doing this again, good grief, and 176 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: then the air getting kind of zapped out and and 177 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: it was almost like stunned disbelief in the latter stages 178 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: of the second half that that they could kind of 179 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: collapse that way. And so yeah, and then there's a 180 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: couple of plays here, a couple of plays there might 181 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: have made the difference, especially late. And so yeah, I 182 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: think I think that one stung. That one stung the players, 183 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: um and then I don't know, the city got kind 184 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: of greedy. That was four straight AFC championship games at home, 185 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it suddenly turned into 186 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: like the the kind of the the arrogant champs. Also 187 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: that like that didn't really happen, did it. Someone came 188 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: in here and did this. So yeah, and then it 189 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: was a good portion of you know, especially the early 190 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: part of the off season, until Tyreek Hill uh was traded. 191 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: Then that became kind of the biggest story. But certainly 192 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: it was you know, uh, you let Cincinnati slip past 193 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: you and there they now in the you know, a 194 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: spot above you. And then once Tyreek Hill had it 195 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: was obviously that was that was obviously the main offseason story. 196 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: I you I think there was a moment last year 197 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: where Mahomes, you know, everybody was going with the two 198 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: deep shell and saying, we're gonna keep everything in front 199 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: of you. Mahomes was making some mistakes and that it happens, 200 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: you know, but it almost felt like there was a 201 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: bit of a downward trajectory last year. Do you think that, 202 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they did right the ship. Obviously you got 203 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: to the ANC Championship game and the Bill's Thriller, But 204 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: do you feel like there is there a sentiment that 205 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: maybe they kind of sort of figured out Mahomes last 206 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: year the league. I think that's where the Tyreek Hill 207 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: move makes some sense as well. And it sounds kind 208 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: of crazy, like you're you're getting rid of a top 209 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: notch wide receiver, But I think that they had been 210 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: figured out a little bit and this gave them the 211 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: opportunity to, I want to say scrap everything, because that's 212 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: not that's not the case, but certainly enhanced what they're 213 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: doing offensively, go back to the drawing board, let Andy 214 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: Reid create and and and do maybe some things that 215 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: they hadn't done before. And then for Patrick Mahomes, you know, 216 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: if you have a guy that's streaking down the field 217 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: and he's open over the top, you know a bunch 218 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: of times you're gonna look for that one first, right, 219 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: So that's like the obvious first first target, and Tyreek 220 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: Hill all the time, take that away from him and 221 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: and make him scan the field a little bit more. 222 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: I think that's where you saw, especially in Week one. 223 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: I mean that was the first example of it where 224 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: they spread the football around a little bit. So in 225 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: a weird way, it has a chance to make this 226 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: offense more dynamic and less predictable. And then obviously he 227 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, he was frustrated last year having to, 228 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: uh at times take what the defense gave him. So 229 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: he has to go through a little bit of that 230 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: patience process as well to realize their teams scheming to 231 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: take everything away and you're gonna have to adjust it. 232 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: And at times it was a little bit bumpy. Um, 233 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: we'll see this year. I think. I think the hill. 234 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: Taking out Hill is as crazy as it sounds, right, 235 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: taking out Hill, I think will ultimately help this offense evolve. 236 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: That makes sense. People will probably take that the wrong way. Yeah, 237 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: but it's weird. I heard this philosopher one time talk 238 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: about like life and jobs, and you know, you're scaling 239 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: the mount and trying to get to the top, and 240 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: then there's just insurmountable area. You just can't get through it. 241 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: And you know, some people will just keep butting their 242 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: head into the wall. Others will come back down a 243 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: little bit and try another path, and the really smart 244 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: ones are willing to come all the way back down 245 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 1: to the bottom and start over. And I feel like 246 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, maybe maybe that's exactly what you're saying. Right, Hey, 247 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: you know what, people figure this out with Hill. He 248 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: wants all the money in the world. Let's just start over. 249 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: And they've got like kind of a they look different 250 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: to me in the opener, what what do you did? 251 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,559 Speaker 1: Did you feel like they were kind of a different team. Yeah, 252 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean I think that they they all have an edge. 253 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: Every single one of them has an edge. Um. I 254 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: I described Patrick Mahomes as a guy he's he's really 255 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: low key at holding grudges, Like he's this nice guy 256 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 1: that steps to the microphone. He's got he's got a 257 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: real edge about him that that likes to overcome doubts 258 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: and what have you. So he's got an edge. Travis Kelsey, 259 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't think Travis Kelsey heard about Tyry 260 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Hill's podcast, said, you know, I I drug people across 261 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: the field, leaving Travis open. I mean, he's got he's 262 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: got an edge. Now to um judice, Miss Schuster is 263 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: trying to kind of reclaimed what what he had uh MBSs. 264 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 1: The answer Aaron Rodgers or Patrick bow I mean, everybody's 265 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: got a little something and you put that all kind 266 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: of in the in the mixer. And then Andy Reid. 267 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: Um I I asked, uh Andy Reid before the season, 268 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: did this did this move and this change of offense 269 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: re energize him? And he said, I don't ever need 270 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: re energizing. But it feels like that that was the case, 271 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 1: that that he's able to kind of dust off some 272 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: some old plays and he gets Matt Neggie back from 273 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: from Chicago for whatever reason that didn't work as a 274 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: head coach there. He's a really good piece offensive mind 275 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 1: along with Andy Reid and Eric the Enemy. So you 276 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: have those three together and Patrick Mahomes and Yeah, I 277 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: feel like that they've been in the lab and they 278 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: just they've just loved every minute. I think this is 279 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: what Andy Reid thrives on two to be perfectly honest. 280 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if he if he didn't have to speak 281 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: to the media and he didn't have to do all that, 282 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: if he could just be in the lab and practice 283 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: and design and do all that stuff, that's his happy place. 284 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: And so this feels like the perfect opportunity to kind 285 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: of showcase that. Certainly offseason, now into the season and 286 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: now they're in the division, they leveled up completely. I mean, 287 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: Davante Adams to the Raiders. I know they have no 288 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: offensive line, but still that's a dangerous team. Obviously, the Chargers, 289 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: I know, no playoff appearances, but they're dangerous. And then 290 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: you've got Russell Wilson and Denver and it's like, all 291 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: of a sudden, that's maybe the toughest division in in 292 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: I don't know NFL history. Would you say, four really 293 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: really really good quarterbacks, not to mention what every team 294 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 1: is done defensively, right, adding adding defensive ends, um trying 295 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: to load up defensively to try to stop these offenses too. 296 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: So yeah, it feels like the arms race is definitely 297 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: on in this division. Everybody's kind of making moves, countering 298 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: one another and and doing that and really trying to 299 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: chase down the Chiefs I think first and foremost. But 300 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: you're right, every team has made a significant move this 301 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: offseason to try to try to bridge the gap, not 302 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: only maybe offensively, but I think more importantly defensively. It's 303 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 1: some great defensive ends, specifically to get after the quarterback 304 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: in this division. Yeah, let's go perfect segue, radio guy, 305 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: Let's go to the defense. So the Chargers add Khalil Mack. 306 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: They now have Mac and Bosa. Good luck picking who 307 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna double team. Derek Carr got destroyed. Uh. They 308 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: hit him nine times, sacked him six times. I don't 309 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: know if you saw the Pro Football Focus numbers, but 310 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, there was like thirty five quarterbacks who qualified 311 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: through passes or whatever, and Week wanted. Derek Carr was 312 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: like the second worst. He was that bad with the 313 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: turnovers and rushing stuff. Now Mahomes is gonna be maybe 314 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: down an offensive lineman. What's the status of their offensive 315 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: line heading into the battle with the Chargers defensive front? Yeah, 316 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Tray Smith, they're they're talented now, second year guard on 317 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: the right side. He's got an injured ankle. He's questionable. Uh, 318 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: he didn't play a ton the other day in their 319 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: first game. Uh, coming out with the injury. So we'll 320 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: see if he can give it a go. And yeah, frankly, 321 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: the two tackles are probably probably their two weakest links 322 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: on that offensive line, which is a very good offensive line. 323 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: Orlando brown Um has got kind of a proven year 324 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: playing into the franchise. Tag Uh arrived a little bit 325 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: late for camp, got most of it in and is 326 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: is Okay, he's lost weight, but he's he's in like 327 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: a full scale proven mode, right he wants to get paid. 328 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: And then the right tackle has been um kind of 329 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: influx um. Andrew Wiley is the is the right tackle 330 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: Who's who's won that job? And he's been the guy. 331 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: I feel like it's been planned b for like three 332 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: three you know incarnations. They always try to beat him 333 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: out and then he always wins the job. But yeah, 334 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: those tackles, those are the those are the two that 335 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: are going to have their their hands full the most 336 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: with with Bosa. And I think everybody Kansas City was 337 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: hoping Khalil Mack would just kind of fall off a 338 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: cliff that that was like he he didn't have it. 339 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: Certainly looked like in week one he had it still right. 340 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, there, that's gonna be a big test uh tonight. 341 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 342 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports 343 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app 344 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: search f s R to listen live. I do wonder 345 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line obviously handled Arizona. J. J. 346 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: Watt didn't play it was kind of easy or Mahomes 347 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: was not sacked. I don't know it was even touched. 348 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: I'm not much but people overlooking the potential for the 349 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 1: Chargers to overwhelm Mahomes at the line of scrimmage. I 350 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna be like the Bucks in the 351 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl where he's running for his life, but it 352 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: does kind of feel like that could be an underplayed 353 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: storyline here heading into the game. Well, I mean I 354 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 1: think that's the key. Can you get Can you get 355 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: there with your front group right? Um? That allows you 356 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: to back people off and then try to force the 357 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs to pick their spots and throwing the football. Um, 358 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes is a is a terrific terrific with 359 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: his feet. I thought the opening game was maybe the 360 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 1: best he's played with his feet and moving out of 361 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: trouble and dodging blitz Is. He made it look very 362 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: very simple. Um, it probably won't be as simple this week, 363 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that's a that's a huge part 364 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: of the storyline. I think, you know, can they can 365 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: they put pressure on on Mahomes with with their front 366 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: group and and then can Derwin James uh handle Travis Kelsey? 367 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: And I think that that's that's the matchup. If those 368 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: two get to toe, who wins that battle? Because I 369 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: think that's that's the pretty big chess match on that 370 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: side of the the equation interesting. Derwin James is a beast, 371 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: but Kelsey's arguably the best tight end of the game. Now, 372 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: I have one bet on here on the first half 373 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: under it. I know the lines going up for the 374 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: full game. But if you look historically at this matchup, 375 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: these two have gotten off to slow starts. I don't 376 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: know if it's a feeling out process of familiarity in 377 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: the division, but for some reason in the last few games, 378 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: the starts have been slow, and of course fourth quarter 379 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: things pick up pretty significantly. Well, it's one of the 380 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: higher over unders of the week, is it not? This game? 381 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, I don't know, I'm not I'm not 382 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: feeling a shootout. I'm feeling, you know, two teams in 383 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: the twenties and battling it out. So I don't I would, 384 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think it's gonna be 385 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: a lot about the offenses right going in and then 386 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be who makes it stops defensively, 387 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: and maybe the not to say the defenses will be 388 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: the biggest part of the story. But I think that 389 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: the chess match defensively can keep this game in a 390 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: in a comfortable zone. I don't I don't feel Chiefs 391 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: don't want to play shootouts. I know that, and certainly 392 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: their defense is still kind of largely a question mark. 393 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: I think there's some a lot of upside, but but 394 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 1: still kind of unproven whether or not, you know, last 395 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 1: week was I mean, they shut things down on Kyler 396 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: Murray Um pretty effectively, and they have a lot to 397 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: prove that that they are going to be the liability 398 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: for this team still, right, So um, I don't know. 399 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: I just I can't imagine this is the highest scoring 400 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: game of the weekend though. I just feel like these 401 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: two teams are gonna are gonna battle well, but it 402 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: won't be as you know, thirty five is people might 403 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: think of. I don't know, maybe maybe everybody's thinking about, Wow, 404 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 1: this could be Chief's bills of last year kind of 405 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: recreated with the Chargers this time play a bunch of points. 406 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: I have a feeling it's gonna be in the twenties. Yeah, 407 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 1: But that was another game where it was like late 408 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,360 Speaker 1: game scoring offenses take off, and you know, the bad 409 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in Week one around the league didn't score a 410 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: lot of points. And now you get, arguably, I don't know, 411 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: two of the best three quarterbacks in the league, and 412 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna score a million. But like you said, like 413 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 1: this Chief's offense has a lot of potential, but they 414 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: haven't face a line like this, right. And conversely, if 415 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: you watch the Charges, they were great in the first 416 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: half against the Raiders, just moved the ball up and down, 417 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: and then Keenan Allen got hurt, and then in the 418 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: second half that offense really sputtered without it, Mike Williams 419 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: was a total non factor. I think I think I 420 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: don't know about Under for the full game, but first 421 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: half under, I feel like this is my best bet. 422 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: What about for the side the line three and a half? 423 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 1: What does that tell you about this Chief's team? Well, 424 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 1: always good at home, right, and then getting a little 425 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: extra bump probably for for being uh the I feel 426 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: like it's it's it's home bump, and it's uh history 427 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: bump a little bit, right. I mean like this is 428 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: this is the team that's kind of owned this division, 429 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: and the Chargers are the ones that have to come 430 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: here and travel across the country and play on a 431 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: Thursday night and all those things. So I think it's 432 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: probably that you take that out. It's probably pretty even, right, 433 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: makes sense. I think I think these two teams are 434 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: pretty well, pretty well matched up. I think the uh, 435 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have a little bit of of the advantage 436 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: when it comes to, yeah, the intangibles, the home crowd 437 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: and and the uh everybody's talking about the Chargers. I mean, 438 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: they're very aware that everybody has picked the Chargers, you 439 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 1: know that on the season, you know what I mean. 440 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: So I think that there's a little bit certainly Kansas 441 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: City has felt like that's that's the paper championship, um 442 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 1: that the Chargers in one every year, and the real 443 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 1: one has to be settled on the field. So so 444 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: we'll see not that not that Week two will do that, 445 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: because the Chargers, you know, beat him in a Week 446 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: two last year, um, and then didn't go on to 447 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: win the division. But um, you know, if the Chiefs 448 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: are able to win this game tonight, I think it 449 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: probably goes a long way and saying, Okay, you're still 450 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: gonna have to chase the chase the champs down in 451 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: the West. Yeah, I would totally agree with that. Um, 452 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: I am curious that you you've clearly seen a lot 453 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: of the Raiders covering the Chiefs. Why do the Raiders 454 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: somehow give the Chiefs problems? Because I look at this 455 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: team and I'm like, this is not a good Raiders 456 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: offensive line. You know, uh, defense is pretty bad. The 457 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: secondary for some reason, they give the Chiefs problem. Any 458 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: idea what that's about? Now, I can't put a put 459 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: a finger on it, but I'll tell you the one uh, 460 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: the one infamous game were uh John Gruden took the 461 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 1: bus around the stadium you know, after the after the 462 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: game was over at are with I mean, Car was amazing, 463 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: like he just he just he just carved them up 464 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: and they found the deep ball and they were they 465 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: were looking like you know Al Davis's dream Raiders where 466 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: they were like chucking it down the field. Um, you know, 467 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 1: Cars played well against him, frankly, and and maybe at 468 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: times they haven't gotten enough heat on him, and then 469 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,719 Speaker 1: maybe haven't benefited from that one Car moment that everybody 470 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: else seems to get you know, you mentioned kind of 471 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: like suddenly one play happens or something or there. He 472 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: was kind of miserable last week when the when the 473 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,640 Speaker 1: pressure kind of kept caving in on the outside. Maybe 474 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: they haven't done enough to heat him up. Uh yeah. 475 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: And and those those division rivalries, I know that it 476 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: sounds silly, but they are. They are highly contested. And 477 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: so yeah, there's always we always well we we try 478 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 1: to think of as our little brother around here, right 479 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: the Kansas City is always like, oh, it's the Raiders, 480 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: it's the Raiders. They'll do something this stuff destruct But 481 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: but they they played the Chiefs well, no doubt about it. 482 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: It's those other games. And that's a little to the 483 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: mastery as well of of Andy Reid. He's been awesome 484 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: against the division, UM and then usually um, he's pretty 485 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: lopsided against the like NFC, especially UM. And I think 486 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: you you you know, you pick your pick your ways 487 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: to to attack, you know, getting to ten eleven victories 488 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: and and some of that is is their dominance of 489 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: the NFC and their dominance of the division. And then 490 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: you know, if you you lose one here and there 491 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: to the to the a f C. Obviously those factor 492 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: into like seating at the end. But but they've crushed 493 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: the NFC and they have really run rough shot since 494 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: I guess the first two seasons. Aside for the first 495 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: two seasons, Andy Reid has been dominant against the West totally. 496 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 1: I do want to touch on the other team in 497 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: the division, Denver. If you look at the Chiefs in 498 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: terms of continuity, I'm pretty sure they returned head coach, quarterback, 499 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: O C and d C. I don't know if the 500 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators he back or newest. Okay, so that's all 501 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: for Denver was replacing all four right new head coach 502 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: O C, d C and Russell Wilson and quarterback and 503 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: I can kind of see that in Week one. Um, 504 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if Russell was too, and but they 505 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: just they look lost most of the game, not just 506 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: the final drive. Any chance Denver threatens for this division crown, 507 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: all things being equal, health and stuff, obviously, I mean 508 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: they're very talented, and the belief was even last year, 509 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: like man, they're just like a quarterback away from from 510 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: really being a not well he got the quarterback, but 511 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: now he got a coach too. And uh, those first 512 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: year coaches are are kind of wild cards. Um, Nathaniel 513 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: Hackett grew up here in Kansas City, went to high 514 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: school in Kansas City, was a Chiefs fan. We're counting 515 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: on him to to lose those games head to head 516 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: by the way. Um, but but but also, um, you know, 517 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: first year guy, and I thought made that made that 518 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: mistake that he said at the end of the game. 519 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: And I don't know. I that that press conference, uh 520 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: the other day, I'm going, boy, I don't know. That 521 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: feels like it feels like a young head coach that 522 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: got himself a little bit lost. And I don't know 523 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: how well that's gonna go over with with with the 524 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, who seemingly, if you believe the reports out 525 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: of you know, Seattle, uh one did this and wanted 526 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: that and wanted and I'm like, hey, are you handing 527 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: the are you handing the keys over to this guy 528 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: with a rookie coach. I don't know how that that 529 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: dynamic is gonna work out. They got they got quite 530 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: a bit of talent though, and they can they can 531 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: hang around in this division. But that looks like a 532 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: wake up, a wake up moment in their opener again Seattle. 533 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: So I guess we could wrap up with this one, Josh. 534 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: The only reason I didn't pick the Chiefs to win 535 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl is because I watched them in the 536 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: postseason rely heavily on Tyreek Hill to make these splash plays. 537 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: You know what, you get to the in the regular season, 538 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: they'll be fine without Tyreek Hill, right, they could just 539 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: scheme up a bunch of dudes open. But in the 540 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: playoffs you're facing the best of the best. And I 541 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: can't I just can't get over how many big plays 542 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: Hill has made, whether it was the Patriots, whether it 543 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: was Um the Bills. Like, he just is that dude. 544 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: I know Kelsey's amazing, but he'll can take it and 545 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 1: go sixty seventy eight yards in a heartbeach. I just wonder, 546 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: come the postseason, do they have that explosive guy. We 547 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: haven't seen it really yet out of mvs. UM. I 548 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,479 Speaker 1: don't think jujus at Hardman's fast. But I don't know. 549 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: Is that a legitimate concern, Josh. When it gets down 550 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: deep into the playoffs, sure yes, And then then I'll say, 551 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: it's a long way to get there to try to 552 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: find that guy too. Maybe um, and and maybe they'll 553 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: show enough being dynamic and moving the ball around where 554 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 1: that won't be uh, something they have to rely on. 555 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: I think the other side of the coin as well 556 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: as the defensive side. Chris Jones has long been anointed 557 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: as the second best defensive tackle behind Aaron Donald. He 558 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: hasn't been good in the playoffs, and he is yet 559 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: to register a sacking in his career in the postseason. Um, yeah, 560 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: and so, and he missed two key ones against Cincinnati 561 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: that that could have been game changing type of plays. 562 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: And so, yeah, there's a few of those like kind 563 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: of prove it moments that I think have to happen 564 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: in the postseason. We're a long way to getting there, 565 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: but I think I think Jones probably falls in that category. 566 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: And then and then we'll see how this offense evolves. 567 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: They're never gonna run the football, but they they may 568 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: do more throwing the the football the running backs this 569 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: year and getting everybody involved in that regard to We'll 570 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: see how this offensive alls. But but yeah, definitely not 571 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: having the the at least uh right now home run 572 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: hitter is something they'll have to try to figure out 573 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: this season. Now that's interesting. I almost want to look 574 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: up this Jones down, not that I doubt you. That's 575 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: just stunning to me, but it kind of points to 576 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, teams are like, well, Chris Jones can 577 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: beat us, We're gonna just double team the hell out 578 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: of him. And guess what, we don't trust whoever they 579 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: had on the edge last year. I don't even know. 580 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: Now they have upgraded, right, They added Dune Lap, Carl 581 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: Laughter is in the draft, um, so they had to 582 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: get better on the edge. Maybe that would prevent opponents 583 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: from double teaming Jones. Well, he gets double team all 584 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: time regardless, but he's been one that's like almost he 585 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: almost makes that sack where he probably does in the 586 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,439 Speaker 1: regular season, but he's he had Joe Burrow in his 587 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: grasp a couple of times in the second half of 588 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 1: that game, and that that's what those plays. As much 589 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: as Mahomes not playing well, it's uh, Chris Jones not 590 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: finishing and and getting Burrow the ground especially. I mean, 591 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: Cincinnati don't want to revisit too much of that, but 592 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: you know they were sack what seven times the week prior, 593 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: and the Joe Burrow looked like he had a clean 594 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: jersey when he left the Arrowhead Stadium. Carrying carrying uh 595 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: you know, our Ricky Woods carrying him out of the 596 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: stadium or whatever's going on. Um. So it's those kind 597 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: of postseason moments that that Chris Jones is looking for. 598 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: And if he's you know, on that superstar status, he's 599 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 1: he's got to make those moments in those those big games. 600 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 1: So those are some of the things to keep an 601 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: eye on, you know, kind of further down the road. Yeah, 602 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: all right, Josh Klingler, I gotta give you a shout out, dude. 603 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 1: I think your website is incredible.

I love it thousand dollars. I don't 646 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: operate like that. I mean, this is an action play 647 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: game for me, because it's gonna be a great game. 648 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: I personally have to take the four with the Chargers. 649 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: Now that's a smaller play because you know, I think 650 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: there's an edge, a better edge in what I'm about 651 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: to say in a minute. But the number one thing 652 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: is justin Herbert is not gonna have a top receiver 653 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, and I think that's gonna hurt because you 654 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: can only do so much with uh these other characters 655 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 1: that had a good game um against the Raiders, But like, 656 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: go look at the depth chart without Alan Yeah, Mike Williams, Okay, 657 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna put sneat on him, our best cornerback, and 658 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: it's like, all right, well, can these other guys get open? 659 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: And sure, they could get open in small doses against 660 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: the Raiders, but you saw what happened in the second half. 661 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: That offense did not exactly hum. Josh Palmer's nice. I 662 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: did pick him up in fantasy. I think Gerald Everton 663 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: line for a big night. I tried to grab him 664 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: in fantasy backups like DeAndre Carter's pretty good, Jalen Guyton's okay. 665 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: But again, are they going to be big factors in 666 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: a game like this, I would hope. So I'm rooting 667 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: for the Charger. Sorry to my Chiefs fans out there, 668 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: but I do think the Chargers offensive line holds up. 669 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: I think they're able to hang tough with the Chiefs offensively. 670 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: But the number that is interesting to me is justin 671 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: Herbert as an underdog of three or points is five 672 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: and one against the spread. He delivers when he's a 673 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: big underdog and people don't really believe. Now, going to 674 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City will not be easy. Um, I don't know 675 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: that it's a cauldron of hate there. It ain't gonna 676 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: be easy, that's for sure. Chargers have played well there. 677 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: They won their last year. UM. But the other thing 678 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 1: to look at with the Chiefs and why I'm on 679 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: the Chargers is week two is the overreaction Week two 680 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: over two Week one of UM, people think, oh she's 681 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: one by a million, They're they're gonna dominate, and I 682 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: think that's why the line is up from three. But 683 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: this is a good note from my guy t A. 684 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: Since two thousand and ten, teams off a blowout win 685 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 1: twenty one or more in week one are seven and 686 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: nineteen against the spread the following week. Last year, teams 687 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: are won by twenty one or more in week one 688 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: oh and three against the spread. So teams the winning 689 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: to blow out, everybody's on them, They get a little 690 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: gased up, the opponents fired up. Now listen, I'm not 691 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: saying it's automatically gonna happen, but there's a small sample size. 692 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: Take it for what it's worth. Week two is overreactual 693 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: week in the NFL. So Chargers plus four I think 694 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 1: is a play for me. I think, I mean, I 695 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 1: think it's a play that can win. The better bet 696 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: is if you look at this history between these two teams, 697 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: they have historically started slowly feeling each other out familiarity, 698 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: and in the last four meetings, first half have been 699 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: very low scoring. Tossing the Thursday night factor, I think 700 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: we're looking at the low scoring first half. This was 701 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: twenty seven on Tuesday. When I bet it, it's down 702 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: twenty six and a half. That's another reason. I think 703 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: it's a pretty sharp play with some value. And I 704 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: will have to end the podcast there. We'll talk to 705 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: you tomorrow.
