1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs go from one prime time stage

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: to another as they go from Monday Night football to

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football. And this week the Chiefs will entertain

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: arguably the best team in the National Football League, the

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. This edition

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom brings you perspective and maybe discussion

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: about role reversal in this Week six matchup between the

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: Lions and Chiefs, and of course, Defending the Kingdom always

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: brought to you by your new best friends at Ticketmastermes.

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: In the shotgun sprint out action, they flood the near.

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: Site Todd touchdown Dansas City and Hi everyone, I'm Mitchelda's

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: voice the Chiefs along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: some perspective time here as the Chiefs had a heartbreaking,

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: gut punching loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars thirty one to

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: twenty eight.

16
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: Is Trevor Lawrence slips, dives, gets back up, goes down again,

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: then scores with less than thirty seconds to go to

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: give the Jaguars the But there's a lot to discuss

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: in that game as it pertains to going into week six.

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: But there were some positives, goods and bads, as Andy

21
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: Reid said, but it was a difficult loss at two

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: and three. But the Chiefs have been here before. We'll

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: talk about that in perspective.

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're right, a lot of good things from

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: Monday night. I thought the offense was pretty awesome through

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,279
Speaker 3: much of the night. They started off explosive six plays

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: of at least fifteen yards over their first three possessions,

28
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: that incredible punch out by Nick Bolton that the goal line,

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: and then to go just five plays ninety seven yards

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: and ends with Mahomes running into the end zone to

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: go up fourteen to nothing. Just incredible. But I think

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: the theme of that game has missed opportunities for the Chiefs.

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, they go up fourteen to nothing, but then

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 3: what happened after it, Well, the Jags rip off twenty

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: one unanswered points. The Chiefs had opportunities to build on

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: that lead before the Jags kind of got back into it,

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: and they couldn't do it. Notably, the thirteen penalties obviously

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: hurt the Chiefs a lot, and when those penalties happened,

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: one comes to mind on the Jags first possession after

40
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: the Chiefs went up fourteen to nothing. It's third down

41
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: incomplete pass. Well, there was a kind of unnecessary pass

42
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: interference on that play that I don't think affected to

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: play much. Well, it happens that extends the Jags drive.

44
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 3: A missed opportunity at an interception deep down the field

45
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: on that drive, you don't get it. The Jags go

46
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: down and score. Well, that began a twenty one nothing

47
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: run by Jacksonville. There's all kinds of things like that

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: in this game. I thought it was great the Chiefs

49
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 3: put together that incredible vintage Chiefs drive at the very

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 3: end to kind of suck the life out of the stadium.

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: Like everyone in the stadium was like, oh man, here

52
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 3: we go again. It's the Chiefs are going to go

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: down and score and win this game. We felt that

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: way too, But then Jacksonville gets the ball with under

55
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: two minutes to play, they find a way to get

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: down the field and score, and yeah, it was heartbreaking.

57
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that was a brutal way to lose a

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: football game. Finds me a lot of the loss to

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: the Ravens in twenty twenty one on the road, where

60
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 3: it's a game that we felt like we had you

61
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 3: give the other team opportunities and they find a way

62
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 3: to win it. It's not taking anything away from Jacksonville

63
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: to say that the Chiefs gave this game away. The

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: Chiefs gave Jacksonville opportunities, and the Jags, to their credit,

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: seize those opportunities. But the Chiefs had that game and

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: unfortunately let it slip away.

67
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fourteen point lead. The Chiefs had won twenty

68
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: two straight games with a fourteen plus point lead, the

69
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: second longest streak in the National Football League, second only

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: too the Detroit Lions, who have done it twenty six

71
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: straight times. So it was a bit of an oddity

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: to have a fourteen point lead slip away. The other

73
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: critical thing before we get to round the world was

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had a chance to seize this game. Talking

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: about opportunities and you listed them all very well and

76
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: very eloquent manner, by the way, with no sleep, but

77
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: this game could have been seized. The Chiefs had the

78
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: ball even after Jacksonville made it fourteen to seven, possession

79
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: four could have been at least a field goal to

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: go up seventeen to seven. Go back to the AFC

81
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: Championship Game of twenty twenty three in Baltimore. Then you

82
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: get the ball back again, even another field goal makes

83
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: it twenty to seven. That's two touchdown lead. But possession

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: fours of three and out, sorry, possession fours the three

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: and out, possession fives of three on out and then

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: you have a pick six and all of a sudden,

87
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: it's a real issue. But there was a chance there

88
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs to seize the game and make it

89
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: much different.

90
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: And the pick six was brutal because the Chiefs were

91
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: moving right down the field. You move to the Jags

92
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: three yard line, that's demoralizing for Jacksonville who've been right

93
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: down the field, and it turns into seven points the

94
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: other way. Now, again to the Chiefs credit, they fought back.

95
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 3: They found a way to keep either tying this game

96
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: or taking the lead. And that's why I feel confident

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: in the offense moving forward.

98
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: For sure.

99
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 3: Had almost five hundred yards of offense in this game.

100
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes a kind of for three hundred and eighty

101
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: seven yards of total offense, fourth most of any player

102
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 3: in the NFL this season. The pick six was tough,

103
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 3: but take that out. Mahomes was brilliant on Monday Night again,

104
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: That final drive was awesome by him, kind of one

105
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: of those like over my dead body kind of drives,

106
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: like I'm finding a way to get this ball in

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 3: the end zone. The ball didn't touch the ground on

108
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: that series. He was terrific. Just unfortunately Jacksonville found a

109
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: way in the end. And look at that final drive

110
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 3: for Jacksonville again, they get the ball back with less

111
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 3: than two minutes left. You get him in a third

112
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 3: and seven on their side of the field and Lawrence

113
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: has that deep throat to Brian Thomas for thirty three

114
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: yards when the Chiefs have two defenders there. That's brutal.

115
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 3: And then third and thirteen. I didn't see the flag

116
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 3: initially because I didn't have a great vantage point. I

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: thought Brian Cook picked it off and the game was over.

118
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: Then I saw the flag and realized they were getting

119
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: the ball at the one yard line. And even then

120
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: Lawrence is on the ground with potentially a running clock

121
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: and we couldn't get a hand on him. Just one

122
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: of those nights, unfortunately, And we talked about it on

123
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: Chiefs rewind these things happen, not a lot for the Chiefs,

124
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: but they do happen, and when they do, all you

125
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: can he was learned from it.

126
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: And defensively third and fifteen early in the game, talking

127
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: about season the game, a defensive pass interference penalty give

128
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: him an automatic first down on third and fifteen. Ye,

129
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: you make them punt there. You have a chance to

130
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: go up three scores several times in this game. But

131
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: and then the four special teams penalties in the second half,

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: nine total penalties, four on the special teams. And people

133
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: talk about butt kicking the ball out of bounds at

134
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: the forty. Well, the last return went to the forty one,

135
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: and so you're even tempted to get a touch back.

136
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: You give you six yards anyway. But the Chiefs are

137
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,239
Speaker 1: now two and three, and here come the Detroit Lions.

138
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: And that doesn't stop us from moving ahead with around

139
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: the world. It's a tradition.

140
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: What do we got so only two quick ones today?

141
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: And I have a story for you, Okay that really

142
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: again puts last night in perspective, kind of adds on to.

143
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, for you know, Matta Riser had his best

144
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: game yet.

145
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,239
Speaker 4: He was great.

146
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, four punts inside the twenty fifty five yard punt,

147
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: flipped the field back. He flipped the field twice. It

148
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: was very reminiscent of Dustin Colquick game back in the day.

149
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: So your two around the World's remind me of the

150
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: old number two dust and Cool.

151
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, DC actually speaking of him. Remember that game that

152
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 3: Tennessee lost to who was it? Was it Alabama or Georgia.

153
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: I think it was Georgia in Knoxville a couple weeks ago,

154
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 3: and Tennessee had an opportunity to kick the game winning

155
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: field goal. And you know, he's like kind of part

156
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: of their coaching staff, and I saw him talking to

157
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: their young kicker and I'm like, oh man, this kicker

158
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: is so nervous, and DC's like, just calm down, man,

159
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: it's gonna be all right. Unfortunately he missed the kick. Anyway,

160
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: we love DZ. All right, So two around the worlds.

161
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 3: We have a listener in Stillwater, Oklahoma, Go Pokes, Polkes.

162
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: And then I met Heather out and about in Kansas

163
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: City on Saturday, So thanks for saying hi, Heather.

164
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: Okay, my story for you.

165
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: So you know, last night against the Jags was tough,

166
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: obviously brutal loss. And then we fly back to Kansas

167
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: City immediately following the game. So we landed in Kansas

168
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: City at like three thirty in the morning, and we

169
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: didn't bust back to the team facility where our cars are.

170
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: So we bust back, and I'm sure you were doing

171
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: the same thing. You're kind of budgeting how much sleep

172
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 3: am I actually going to get tonight?

173
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: Right?

174
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: And I'm thinking to myself and in four o'clock.

175
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: This goes back to your prom night. Is four o'clock

176
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: night or is it day? Yeah, because it feels like

177
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: the transition time. Is this Monday? No, it's no, it's

178
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. So go ahead. I think I know where

179
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: you're going with this, and this is brutal.

180
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: Well, it's tricky with that because if you haven't slept much,

181
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: and I don't consider sleeping for like thirty minutes on

182
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 3: the plane like sleeping for the night, so it still

183
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 3: feels like nighttime even though you know the morning radio

184
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: switch is over. And yeah, anyway, you.

185
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: Couldn't sleep on the plane. How many of your bedrooms

186
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: are designed as a fuselage on a plane.

187
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 3: I'm here call, so I'm budgeting in my head how

188
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 3: much time we have to sleep. And I'm like, all right, well,

189
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get to my car at three forty five,

190
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: all head home I'll be home by four o'clock and

191
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: I'll just sleep for three hours and then head to

192
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: work because we have to be here the next morning,

193
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 3: Like we can't just take the a off, like it's

194
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 3: already Tuesday. So anyway, I'm thinking about all that. Walk

195
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: to my car. Everyone's tired, no one's only talking to

196
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 3: each other. Put my key in the ignition. My car

197
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 3: doesn't start, and I'm like, wait, what do I do?

198
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: It's four in the morning. Car doesn't start, So shout

199
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: out to Josh Klingler, of course, ninety six five, the

200
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: fan and chief's radio network fame. Josh is like, do

201
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: you need a jump? I'm like that'd be great, Thanks Josh.

202
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 3: He tries, it doesn't work, and I'm sitting there. Everyone

203
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: else has left. Steve, one of our security guys, the

204
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: nicest guy in America, came. He was being completely honest

205
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 3: and genuine with me and said, you can take my

206
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 3: car home if you want. I'm like, thank you, Steve.

207
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: I'm not driving your car home, but thank you very much.

208
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 3: I'm going to figure this out. I called Triple A.

209
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: Normally I don't talk about like any kind of like

210
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: brand or companies on here out of fear that our

211
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 3: sponsorship department will say, why did you do that. I'm

212
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: going to shout out Triple A because Triple A is

213
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: something that every person should have. It's amazing. You can

214
00:09:59,480 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: clean them.

215
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: Dozen times that I've used him, yes, exactly, including running

216
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: out of gas in Saint Louis in the middle of

217
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: rush hour.

218
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 4: Please come help me. Yeah, So I called Triple A.

219
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 3: They were very helpful, but they said, we have a

220
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 3: service we can send out to you, but we're not

221
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 3: going to be able to replace your battery. If your

222
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: battery is dead, we can only jump you in. If

223
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: it doesn't work, we'll just tell you somewhere. I'm like,

224
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: I'll just worry about this in the morning. So I

225
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 3: Uber home from the facility at four thirty at this point, wow.

226
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 3: So I got home at like five am. Shout out

227
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: to Tabitha. Tabitha was my uber driver. She was wonderful.

228
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: She was playing Red Kingdom as she pulled into the

229
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: parking lot, which pretty funny. But Tabitha drove me home.

230
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: I got home at five am. Ellie woke up and

231
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 3: I walked in like in a haze.

232
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 4: Like what's going on?

233
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 3: And I'm like, You're never going to guess my adventure

234
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 3: that I've been on tonight. Anyway, so where's your car

235
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: right now? So it's still on the lot. Triple A

236
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 3: at ten am, it was Triple A came and they

237
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: replaced my battery in the parking lot.

238
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: So so the charge didn't work, No charge didn't wear batteries.

239
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: My battery is but Triple A came this morning and

240
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: replaced it. So anyway, kind of a metaphor for this

241
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: entire thing. Last night was kind of a rock bottomish

242
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: kind of moment for me. I'm sitting there in my car,

243
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 3: like man, I'm experiencing a bad day. The Chiefs blow

244
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 3: this game, and now battery is dead. It's four point

245
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: thirty in the morning, and I have nowhere to go.

246
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 3: I was thinking, like before Uber existed, what do I do.

247
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 3: I consider just going into the office and just start working.

248
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 3: But I didn't. I made it home, and you know what,

249
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: things could only go up from there. I now have

250
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 3: a new battery in my car, and it's a new

251
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: week and let's go beat the Lions.

252
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: Awesome. There's so many heroes in that story. I can't

253
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: tell you. I did see Kling pull out and his

254
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: yellow jeep. You cannot mistake, you cannot miss it, just

255
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: glowing things like the old yellow Submarine movie of the

256
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: Beatles back in the day. It's like, you know, you

257
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: could see him, like you know, there's cling like fifty

258
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: cars ahead, and I saw him pull around, like what's

259
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: he doing? And he was trying to give you a jump?

260
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: Okay, he looked at me, so he tried doing it

261
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: and he looked at me. He's like, yeah, I think

262
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: it's very dead. I'm all right, what's very dead? Very dead?

263
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: Because it wasn't even cranking, Like I would turn it

264
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 3: on and like my lights would turn on like in

265
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: the car, but nothing else would happen. And I'm like, really,

266
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: tonight of all nights. But you know, it is what

267
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 3: it is.

268
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Then you worry about starter and okay, anyway else.

269
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 4: I was worried about lots of things. But it's working now.

270
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: One of the things we love to do is get

271
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: a player in here every week, and so before we

272
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: jump into the Lions and talk about them in the

273
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: Sunday night matchup, we did have a chance. And again

274
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: this is a short week. This is tough on anybody,

275
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: but especially the players because they got to recover when

276
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,599
Speaker 1: one last day, especially being on the road. Actually the

277
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: Ravens had to do this when they came here. So

278
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: to get a player any week is big. This week

279
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: it's even bigger. All Right. Got a chance to have

280
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown on with us in this edition of Defending

281
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, and we talk about kind of role reversally

282
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: here of taking on a really good team at Detroit

283
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: lyon team and going after them. But I gotta ask

284
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: you about being in the rhythm and the flow of

285
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: the offense and what it means forty targets and twenty

286
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: six catches to get into a flow. What does that mean?

287
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 5: Oh, it's very important.

288
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 6: I felt like, you know, since I've been here, you know,

289
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 6: battling injuries and you know, devastating when I got hurt

290
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 6: and training came for me and not even knowing if

291
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 6: I'll be able to play week one, and just working

292
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 6: like tirestly to try to make it back, and then

293
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 6: you know, X goes down, you know, taking on even

294
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 6: more and at the same time building myself up.

295
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: It's been real.

296
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 6: It's been a lot, but it's been really important that

297
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 6: each week I feel like I'm getting better.

298
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 5: Pat trust me with more.

299
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 6: My body's getting better, and I feel like I'm playing

300
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 6: faster and faster each week.

301
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 5: So like for me, it's excited.

302
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 3: You got your first touchdown as a member of the

303
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: Chiefs a couple weeks ago against the Ravens, and really

304
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 3: the last two weeks the offense seems to really been

305
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 3: finding its stride. Nearly five hundred yards of offense against

306
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: the Jags last week. What's been going right for you guys?

307
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 3: And how can you keep that going here moving forward?

308
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 6: I think it's just, you know, the way we practice,

309
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 6: the chemistry, rebuilding, and guys eager to make plays. You know,

310
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 6: it's only one football out there, so when you get it,

311
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 6: you try and make a play with it. You're trying to,

312
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 6: you know, gain another opportunity. And I feel like that's

313
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 6: why we met so well, because we root for each other,

314
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 6: you know, so so bad.

315
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 5: So it's it's a lot of fun.

316
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: How much do you feel like, and I've said this,

317
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: you feel like you're on the four by one meter

318
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: relay team because you got forshar you ax, I mean

319

Speaker 1: to keep coming. How fun is that that? All? You can?

320
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: Putting all this speed on the field at the same time.

321
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 5: Like it's so fun. It's a great light work environment.

322
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 6: Even like in practice, Uh, the way we compete, the

323
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 6: way we you know, who can run for the fastest

Speaker 6: this play or that play, Guys running with the ball,

325
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 6: you know who can run fast across the field to

326
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 6: get a block.

327
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 5: So it's uh, it's something, you know, something special for sure.

328
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: Didn't even mention Taekwon m got an all year?

329
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 7: Yeah right.

330
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 3: I mean it's cool to see his story because I

331
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 3: think was guarante to him going into this season. But

332
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: he's been great obviously for us. What's impressed to you

333
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: about Taekwon this year?

334
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 5: Ah?

335
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: Man?

336
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 6: I mean I know about Taequin since he was in

337
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 6: high school. You know, he's from Florida, just like me,

338
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 6: and the adversity he'd unbattled, the things he don't been through,

339
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 6: you know mentally, you know, I'm so happy for him.

340
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 6: I tell him all the time, you know, give God

341
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 6: the glory, you know, give God the glory every single

342
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 6: time because just to be hearing this place special and

343
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 6: to see him make the most of his opportunity because

344
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 6: you know, he has a family, so like, you know,

345
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 6: I just smile when I see him every day because

346
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 6: he's such a good person and his energy. We feed

347
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 6: off of it a lot.

348
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: That brings up an excellent point. Though you've been through

349
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: a lot, and you've been in this legal while, so

350
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: how much of a role do you have even off

351
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: the field in talking to guys, even if it's Brownly

352
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: or anybody in that wide receiver?

353
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 6: I tell him all the time, you know, my career,

354
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 6: I never dealt with injuries like that in college. So

355
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 6: for me to get here, I questioned a lot of

356
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 6: stuff a lot of times about you know, why this

357
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 6: is or why me?

358
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 5: And why that?

359
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 6: And then I got to a point where, like, you know, well,

360
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 6: guys put me down this path. You're not gonna give

361
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 6: me something I can't handle. So you know, don't worry

362
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 6: about the outside. No, it's maybe my story is meant

363
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 6: to go through these things to come out with something better.

364
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 6: So I appreciate that to the guys that you know

365
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 6: might not be happy in this situation, might not be

366
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 6: happy about something, just to come to work every day,

367
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 6: appreciate where you at and you know, enjoy the environment

368
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 6: and enjoy the process.

369
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: Words looking at Detroit obviously a really good defense. What

370
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: stands out to you and how can we find some

371
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: success against them.

372
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, high power team. They're looking real good.

373
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 5: Thank for us. You know, we just got to focus

374
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 5: on us.

375
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 6: Uh, take it each player at the time, offense, defense,

376
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 6: special teams. Limit the penalties. You know, I had a

377
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 6: bad penality out there. So just trying not to put

378
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 6: ourselves in the hole and just stay above the sticks.

379
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 6: And you know, play Kansas City chief football.

380
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: And it's good to have Kansas City Chiefs football and

381
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: Hollywood in the house and in the flow. It's here

382
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: well again, great to have a player, especially this week

383
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: when we talk about sleepless nights. They do too, but

384
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: they've been to go through their normal treatment and you

385
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: basically have to make Monday and Tuesday all in one

386
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 1: and try to get yourself in position to attack Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

387
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, Monday night. Football on the road I think

388
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: is other than going to Brazil and spending seventeen hours

389
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: on a plane when you're so anyway, it's tricky, it's hard,

390
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: super hard.

391
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 3: It puts a lot of stress on our logistical staff

392
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: of trying to figure this stuff out. And you know,

393
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: a quick turnaround playing a team that we think is

394
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,439
Speaker 3: one of the best in the NFL. If not the

395
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 3: best right now in Detroit, it's tough, but you know,

396
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 3: this is where you lean on your culture, lean on

397
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 3: your leaders in a lot of ways. Ironically, I'm kind

398
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: of glad that we're playing on a short week because

399
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 3: after a game like that, all they want to do

400
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: is see the Chiefs get back out there and play

401
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 3: well and win a football game. The worst is like

402
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: when you play a game like that and go into

403
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 3: your bye week and you're just thinking about it week long.

404
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 3: It's tough on the player's bodies, but I think a

405
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 3: lot of them are anxious to get back out there

406
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: and play.

407
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: So you bring up that just leads us into kind

408
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: of the thesis of this podcast, which is perspective and

409
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 1: then role reversal. It was the perspective you had when

410
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: you couldn't start your car, and the role reversal that

411
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: you were driving down the street. Nope, you were in

412
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: another role. So here the Chiefs now two and three

413
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: been here before twice under Andy Reid twenty fifteen, and

414
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: that led to a ten game winning streak and winning

415
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: the first playoff game in twenty one years. And then

416
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: the two and three start in the twenty twenty one

417
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: season which culminated in making it to the AFC Championship

418
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: Game and the overtime loss to the Bengals. So the

419
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: point here is this is still a long road now

420
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: for the shaden froutotypes. We're not going to sit here

421
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: and blow smoke at you and go, hey, everything is unicorns,

422
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: candy canes and roses. No it's not, but we will

423
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: give you some perspective here. But this game is a

424
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: role reversal. Now. It has been the Chiefs that everybody

425
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: has been launching, you know, shooting, catapulting fiery flames at

426
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: and has been doing that really since twenty nineteen. But

427
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: now here the Detroit Lions, and they've done an amazing job.

428
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: The Lions have gone through a transformation. I saw this

429
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: three years ago, the same transformation the Chiefs went through.

430
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: They redid their whole organization. And when Dan Campbell came in,

431
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: yeah he brought an edge. I'm going to bite guys

432
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: on the knees and ankles and all that. But then

433
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: Brad Holmes as a general manager, they have been just

434
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: like Brett Veach and Andy Reid, and the organization went

435
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: through some big changes, I mean decades of changes to

436
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: get where the Lions are now. All right, here's where

437
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: I think the weaknesses of the Detroit Lions are. That's it.

438
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: They don't have a weakness. This team does not have

439
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: a weakness. They are very good, I think the best

440
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: team in the National Football League. And I'll get to

441
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: your point here a second. But they are averaging right

442
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 1: now almost thirty five points a game on an average

443
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: in five games. Well, who wha, WHOA what they do?

444
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: Last year they averaged just over thirty four points a game.

445
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: They're trying to become the first team since the nine

446
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: Saints to lead the league in scoring in back to

447
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: back years. Chiefs for close. We thought about it in

448
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen and twenty nineteen. We almost did it. But

449
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: if the Lions stay at this pace on their average,

450
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: on the average from last year, it has been since

451
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: the nineteen forty one forty two Chicago Bears. I think

452
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: Sid Luckman may be in there that a team would

453
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: have this thirty four to thirty five point average in

454
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: back to back years and the Lions come by it. Honestly,

455
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: this is an explosive team that I think has no

456
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: real weakness right now. Not saying they can't be beat

457
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: but the Chiefs are in role reversal. Now all of

458
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: a sudden, they're shooting flames at the castle. In this week,

459
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: in specific.

460
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 3: The Lions have that point per game average despite scoring

461
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 3: just thirteen points in Week one two. What an anomaly

462
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 3: that was against Green Bay just thirteen points. But they've

463
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: scored at least thirty four points in all four of

464
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: their games since then. In that span, they're averaging more

465
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 3: than forty points per game. And these guys, to me,

466
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: they played just great, complimentary, fundamentally sound football. Really in

467
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: all three phases. They play smart football. They're tough, they're physical.

468
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 3: I remember we talk about this game all the time,

469
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: the game they had against the Packers several years ago

470
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 3: where they weren't even in playoff contention at that point,

471
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: but they played hard and tough to keep the Packers

472
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 3: out of the playoffs and beat the Packers in Lambeau.

473
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 3: Showed their whole mentality as a team. I like watching

474
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 3: the Lions. They're fun to watch. I love their mentality

475
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: just as a football team, and they're going to be

476
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 3: tough to beat. We can do it, but we have

477
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: to play fundamentally sound, complimentary football as well. We did

478
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 3: that against the Ravens two weeks ago, not so much

479
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: last week. For being honest against the Jags against Jacksonville,

480
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 3: I think we had some times in the game where

481
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 3: the offense was playing very well, the defense not so much.

482
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 3: And then the defense will play well against Jacksonville, the

483
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 3: offense not so much, and the special team struggled as well.

484
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: To be Detroit, you have to play fundamentally sound football

485
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: in all three phases and compliment one another. The Chiefs

486
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 3: are certainly capable of doing that. We know we have

487
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,239
Speaker 3: the players to do that and the coaches to do it,

488
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: but we need them to be at their best here

489
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: against a very good Detroit Lions team.

490
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Lions, it was its team record to have

491
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: those one hundred and sixty four points in four consecutive

492
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: games that you alluded to. But Jared Goff seventy five

493
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: percent completion percentage. When you look at what he has done,

494
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: he has had five times now in the past two

495
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: years his QBR his quarterback rating has been one fifty

496
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: or more. Remember one fifty three point eight right or

497
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: is perfect? Well, he's had a's on his paper five times.

498
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: That's two more than anybody else in the NFL in

499
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: that span. When you look at what he has done,

500
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: he's the best in the league at twelve touchdown passes,

501
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: best in the league at completion percentage. He is pinpoint

502
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: using all of his weapons, and he's got all kinds

503
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: of weapons. Amn Ross Saint Brown is phenomenal. And they

504
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: haven't really been cranking up Jamison Williams very much this

505
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: year and after last year we had four touchdowns of

506
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: fifty yards or more. That was in twenty twenty four.

507
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: But then last week they unload Sam Laporta on you

508
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: and the two running backs David Montgomery and Gibbs. These

509
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: two guys fourteen times they both had at least one

510
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: touchdown in a game that hasn't happened in this league

511
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: in almost forty years. You're going back to the Cowboys

512
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: of the early nineties, about thirty five years ago. That's

513
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: what the Lions are giving you on offense, and I

514
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: haven't even started on defense and special teams yet.

515
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 3: Sure, and looking at Goff, the word that comes to

516
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 3: mind for me is efficiency. So that seventy five percent

517
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 3: completion percentage is impressive in its own right. It's even

518
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: more impressive when you consider he's averaging eight point one

519
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 3: to nine yards per attempt. Really impressive combination. It's not

520
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: just checkdowns. He's throwing the ball down field as well,

521
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 3: makes great decisions. I think back to that fourth down

522
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: throw against the Ravens a couple weeks ago, just a

523
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: perfect throw. I just respect them a lot. It begins

524
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: with stopping their running game. Though they want to run

525
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: the football, they want to be physical with the football.

526
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 4: These guys of one.

527
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 3: Hundred and fifty two rushing attempts this year, the second

528
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: most of any team in the NFL. They're effective with it, obviously,

529
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: rushing for one hundred and thirty five yards per game

530
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 3: between Montgomery and Gibbs. For the Chiefs in this game,

531
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 3: it begins with shutting down that running game because when

532
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 3: they're running the football well, and then Golf can use

533
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 3: play action and throw to his weapons in Laporta, Jamison

534
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: Williams and certainly am and Rah. They're really tough to

535
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 3: beat if you stop the run first, make them one dimensional.

536
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: Not easy to do, but that's what Green Bay did

537
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 3: in Week one. What the Chiefs will have to do

538
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: here in this game.

539
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: And Jonathan Taylor the Colts is having an incredible year

540
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: if you take Gibbs and Montgomery together, they have six

541
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five rushing yards. That's one hundred and

542
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: thirty five yards more than Jonathan Taylor. So it kind

543
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: of puts that in perspective. Before we get to Ari

544
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: Wolf in our regular segment here and checking out on

545
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: the West. The defense and last year the defensive injuries

546
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: caught up with them. They lost Aden Hutchinson in Week five.

547
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: Have you checked what he's been doing. He's gonna sack

548
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: a week. His pressures he had eight pressures against Cincinnati

549
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: just decimated the Bengals front. They had so many injuries

550
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: last year. They gave up at the end of the

551
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 1: year thirty one, forty eight, and thirty four, and Washington

552
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: got forty five on them in the upset in the

553
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: NFC Divisional playoff game. If they wouldn't have had those

554
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: defensive injuries, we would have been playing them in Super

555
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty nine and not the Eagles. Sorry Eagle fans,

556
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: keep trolling this, but you wouldn't have been playing us.

557
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: It's good for our engagement because these Cats, these Cats

558
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: were steamrolling, man, and they just had They had too

559
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: many defensive and too many points allowed. But it wasn't

560
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: because of their offensive production. Now they have the defense back,

561
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: and then you look front. Middle back Kirby Joseph is

562
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: sitting here. He's only the sixth player in the last

563
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: twenty five years to have at least twenty interceptions in

564
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: his first four seasons. But he's only the second safety

565
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: to do it. The other one is Ed Reid Pro

566
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: Football Hall of Famer in the former Raven stud That's

567
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: what they're doing on the back end, in the middle,

568
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: Alex Angeloni and all these guys. This is this phenomenal

569
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: football team. I want to beat them, looking forward to

570
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: playing them, But it's role reversal here. It's the Chiefs

571
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: that are now shooting the flaming catapaulding arrows at the castle,

572
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: not the other way around.

573
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 3: Jack Campbell really good player at linebacker. You mentioned the

574
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 3: Eagles fans who just reminded me of this. The Jags

575
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 3: fans were really feisty on our stuff last week, like

576
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 3: really going after us. I don't know, like I thought

577
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: we were really complimentary of the Jags anyway, the jack

578
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 3: congratulations on your win. Jacks fans looking at Detroit opportunistic

579
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: speaking of Jacksonville too, It's kind of a copy and

580
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 3: paste with their defense because the Jags are really good

581
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 3: at taking the football away the Jags, the Lions are

582
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 3: really good at.

583
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 4: Taking the football away. The Jags are two.

584
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 3: The Lions have nine takeaways this year, third most in

585
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 3: the NFL, forty one points off takeaways, third most of

586
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: any team in the league, and thirteen drives starting an

587
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 3: opponent territory, most in the NFL. It's in so many

588
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 3: ways the same thing we said about last week, like,

589
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 3: you can't turn the ball over against Jacksonville, they'll make

590
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 3: you pay for it. Unfortunately, they did that against US

591
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: Devin Lloyd with that ninety nine yard pick six. In

592
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 3: many ways, that was the difference in the game. Don't

593
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 3: turn the football over against Jacksonville that she's probably get

594
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 3: out of there with a win. You cannot turn the

595
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 3: football over against Detroit. And I dug into this a

596
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: little bit. They are nineteen and oh since twenty twenty

597
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 3: three when they win the turnover margin, nineteen and oh.

598
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: Only Buffalo is better. They have not lost a game

599
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: in two and a half years when they win the

600
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: turnover margin. Now when they lose a turnover margin, doesn't

601
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 3: happen That often. It's happened eleven times since twenty twenty three,

602
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 3: the beginning of that season. They're five and six in

603
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 3: those games. So just putting it out there, if you

604
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 3: can play them even in the turnover margin, or win

605
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 3: the turnover margin for a couple interceptions or a couple fumbles,

606
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 3: don't turn the football over yourself. It's a much more

607
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: even playing field against this Detroit team. But they have

608
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 3: so much firepower on both sides of the ball. You

609
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 3: cannot lose the turnover margin to these guys and give

610
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 3: them short fields.

611
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: Oh, didn't bring up special teams. Wait a minute, Khalif

612
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: Rayman has a punt return for a touchdown. Remember his

613
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: touchdown by the for the Titans against US a couple

614
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: of years back. And then you throw in, oh, I

615
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: don't know, Jake Bates, who is the brick salesman in

616
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: the UFL star As become like the betest kicker on

617
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: the planet. And then you throw in Jack Fox, who's

618
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: their punter. Yeah, and he's the first team All Pro

619
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: punter in the NFL and set an NFL record for

620
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: net punting. So that's what you're up against. I'm looking

621
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: forward to this game. Yeah, But I'm looking forward to

622
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: the role reversal. All right, hey, we'll shoot some flaming

623
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: arrows at the castle. How about that? Well, speaking of

624
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 1: shooting at the castle, I don't know how to transition here,

625
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: but we got Wolf on the West. Ari Wolf is

626
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: our kind of watching. The rest of the league in

627
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: the West could have been tied, could have been tied

628
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: at three and two, three and two, three and two,

629
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: but not this week. What's our thing?

630
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 8: Hello again to everyone, Welcome to the podcast. Within the podcast,

631
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 8: this is out West with me or a Wolf Excited

632
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 8: to talk to some football Today With Matt McMullen and Matt,

633
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 8: we take a deep dive into the AFC West. Let's

634
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 8: start at the top of the division and for the

635
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 8: moment that is the LA Chargers, who have the tiebreaker

636
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 8: on the Broncos. Are the Chargers huff loss this week?

637
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 8: They laid ten nothing against the Washington Commanders. They give

638
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 8: up twenty seven unanswered points. The Commanders win going away

639
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 8: twenty seven to ten. To had insult to injury for

640
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 8: the Chargers, Lamarion Hampton is now out, so their top

641
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 8: two running backs are out. They've had offensive line issues,

642
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 8: four different offensive line combinations used in the game. Jim

643
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 8: Harbaugh's team was three to zero and was flying really high.

644
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 8: What do you make of the Chargers now at three

645
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 8: and two with a really depleted, injury prone roster.

646
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 3: You know, I enjoyed this game at a bar in

647
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: Jacksonville while eating some fried shrimp. Yeah, I was having

648
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: a good time watching the Commanders rattle off twenty seven

649
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: unanswered points. Pretty surprising against a very good Chargers defense.

650
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: I think what really stood out to me, though, was

651
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: the mistakes the Chargers made. You have the penalty that

652
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 3: kind of negates that mcconkee touchdown on the punt return,

653
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 3: Herbert with the red zone pick, Johnston with the fumble

654
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: on the Commander's side of the field. The Herbert pick, though,

655
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 3: really stood out because not a good throw. The defender

656
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 3: was right there. And I believe Herbert has four picks

657
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 3: now on the year, already, more than you had all

658
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: of last season, right, and we're only here through Week five.

659
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 3: So the Chargers are a really good team, There's no

660
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 3: doubt about that. But it's interesting that I think one

661
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: of the reasons they were so good early, particularly in

662
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 3: Week one against US, is they made no mistakes. They

663
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: played fundamentally sound football, not the case against the Commanders,

664
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: and the Commanders made him pay for it. And now

665
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: how do they respond without having Amario on Hampton because

666
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: Herbert has been throwing the ball more. But this is

667
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: still a Greg Roman offense and a Jim Harbaugh team.

668
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: They want to run the football, they want to be

669
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 3: physical and dominate the line of scrimmage. While you lose

670
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 3: your tackles and Alt and Slater. I get Alts coming

671
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: back soon, but still you don't have them for at

672
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: least a couple of weeks. And you lose Harris and Hampton.

673
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: I mean Harris and Hampton are going to be their

674
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 3: work courses all year long. You don't have either for

675
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 3: the foreseeable future. That's a big deal. So how do

676
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: they respond to that is the question? And I at

677
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: least say so far against the Commanders, they didn't respond

678
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 3: very well. So we'll see how they do here moving forward.

679
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 8: And one number I want to share before we move

680
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 8: on to the Broncos. In the last two games, the

681
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 8: Chargers have a combined twenty four penalties for one hundred

682
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 8: and ninety two yards.

683
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 7: That they got a lot of things to clean up.

684
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 8: You normally don't think of a Jim Harbaugh coach team

685
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 8: is having a lot of penalties. But the Chargers, yes

686
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 8: they are atop the AFC West, but right now, mixed.

687
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 7: Results for them.

688
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: All.

689
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 8: Right, now, let's turn to the Denver Broncos, who I

690
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 8: must say really impressed me on Sunday with their win

691
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 8: in Philadelphia.

692
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 7: I thought it was a gritty win.

693
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 8: There were a couple of times where it looked like

694
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 8: they were gonna go down three scores. They kept fighting

695
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 8: and fighting. I thought the defense really held up late.

696
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 8: I thought Bo Knicks did just enough. But to me,

697
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 8: the guy who really changed the game was head coach

698
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 8: Sean Paton. And here's why they scored the touchdown. You

699
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 8: think that they're down seventeen to sixteen, they're just gonna

700
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 8: kick the extra point, right, It's gonna be seventeen all No,

701
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 8: they end up going for two. They go up by one,

702
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 8: and that became a huge deal because they added a

703
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 8: field goal.

704
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 7: So when the Eagles.

705
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 8: Had time to drive at the end, instead of needing

706
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 8: a field goal to tie, they had to get a

707
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 8: touchdown to win. So while I think Denver overall is

708
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 8: a better team than I may have thought coming into

709
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 8: this game.

710
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 7: I give Sean Payton a lot of credit.

711
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 8: Reminds me when he was with the New Orleans Saints

712
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 8: when they're playing the Colts in the Super Bowl, and

713
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 8: he opens the game with an all inside kick, So

714
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 8: he's a gambler, he's a gutsy guy. It told me

715
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 8: a lot about what he thinks about his team, and

716
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 8: I think right now I'm a little bit more impressed

717
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 8: with Denver than the Chargers. I think Denver's quite a

718
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 8: bit more healthy. What was your takeaway from the Broncos.

719
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 7: And the Eagles.

720
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was impressive, and it's funny because the end

721
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: result and how things look in the last couple of

722
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 3: minutes kind of shape your your thoughts on how that

723
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 3: team played throughout the game, even if that wasn't the

724
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: case early in the game. Broncos didn't play well early

725
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 3: in the game, really didn't play well offensively at all

726
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: until the fourth quarter. They're down seventeen to three, but

727
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 3: then score eighteen unanswered points to win the football game.

728
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 3: So I give them credit for hanging in there and

729
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: finding a way to not let those early struggles kind

730
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 3: of get them down. But I think Peyton played to

731
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: win this game, which I respect because I've joked around

732
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: about my father in law, who's the Broncos fan, and

733
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: he criticized Peyton and the game they lost to the

734
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: Colts earlier this year for playing not to lose and

735
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: not playing to win. Peyton certainly played to win this game,

736
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: which I respect quite a bit, and it paid off

737
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: in the end.

738
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 4: The Broncos are tough.

739
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: Their defense is really really good, and their offense, particularly

740
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: when Peyton is kind of dialing it up with those

741
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 3: short throws, those rollouts, things that really scheme their receivers

742
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: into open situations.

743
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 4: They're tough to stop.

744
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: And I give them credit again for hanging in there

745
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 3: against the Philadelphia Eagles, who we all know is one

746
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 3: of the toughest teams in football. To do that on

747
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: the road says a lot about their team. So they'll

748
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: be tough this year. We'll see him here in a

749
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 3: few weeks. But yeah, that's a statement win for the Broncos.

750
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 3: I'll give them their credit.

751
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: Yep.

752
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 7: That is a signature win for the Denver Broncos. All right.

753
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 8: Next up the Las Vegas Raiders a similar story again

754
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 8: this week turnover as they go to Indianapolis in a

755
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 8: game I thought they might be competitive and they get

756
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 8: blown out forty to six. Two more interceptions thrown by

757
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 8: Gino Smith. That's a total of nine that leads the NFL.

758
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 8: Not a category Geno Smith wants to touch. Is it

759
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 8: time for Kenny Pickett? What is the next step for

760
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 8: this Raiders team? Because getting blown out like that, they

761
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 8: look like a handful. There's like five or six teams

762
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 8: right now that seem like they're having a hard time

763
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 8: getting out of their own way.

764
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 7: What's your take on the current state of the Las

765
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 7: Vegas Raiders.

766
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it might be that kind of season for the Raiders.

767
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 3: It's funny with the offseason storylines because you can kind

768
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 3: of talk yourself into every team being good, right and

769
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 3: you can look at the Raiders and say, Okay, they

770
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 3: have Ashton Genty, a really exciting young running back, Brock

771
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: Bauers one of the best tight ends in football, and

772
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 3: Gino Smith, who I don't think got the credit he

773
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: deserved in Seattle for being a really solid passer over

774
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 3: the last couple of years. You could talk yourself into

775
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: that it's not working out. It's just the reality of it.

776
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 3: You laid it out with the interceptions over they have

777
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: ten giveaways this year as a team that's most in

778
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: the NFL and just not competitive against the Colts. It

779
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 3: also says a lot about the Colts, who continue to

780
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: mystify me. Just I mean, it's so incredible what they're

781
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 3: doing right now. The Colts are like the seven Patriots apparently.

782
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,919
Speaker 3: I think it's funny because the Raiders forced a three

783
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 3: and out on the Colts opening possession and then the

784
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 3: Colts rattled off six straight touchdown drives. They're just unstoppable.

785
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 4: Apparently.

786
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 3: The Raiders defense has struggled all year long, and despite

787
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 3: having some talent, they're just not moving the ball. And

788
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 3: it doesn't do you a lot of favors having a

789
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 3: player like Genti if you're down by three touchdowns because

790
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 3: you can't run the football.

791
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 4: So not having Brock Bowers has hurt them.

792
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 3: Obviously he's their best pass catcher, but might be that

793
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 3: kind of season for the Raiders.

794
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 8: One other comparison for the Colts because they play on

795
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 8: turf and it feels like, you know, they're trying to

796
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 8: play almost arena football all on the big field.

797
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 7: It reminds me a little bit of the.

798
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,439
Speaker 8: Saint Louis Rams of nineteen ninety nine when Kurt Warner

799
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 8: came out and shocked everyone.

800
00:35:58,520 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 7: Obviously we know who.

801
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 8: Daniel Jones is, but nobody had these kind of expectations.

802
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 8: I think they're one of the most fun stories so

803
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 8: far this season, seeing the Colts being resurrected. I'm sure

804
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 8: Raiders fans didn't enjoy it this weekend, but they look

805
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 8: like they may be for real. All right, let's go

806
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 8: to what I thought was the best game of the week,

807
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 8: and you could make a case for the Jaguars and

808
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 8: the Chiefs, but I'm going to stay away from that

809
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 8: one because that one stings a little bit. I thought

810
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 8: that the Patriots going to Buffalo on Sunday Night was

811
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 8: a real st statement win for the Patriots. Drake May

812
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 8: played some of the best football I've ever seen him play.

813
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 8: Do you think that the Patriots are a playoff contender,

814
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 8: because look, they.

815
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 7: Go to Buffalo.

816
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 8: This is a place where everybody I feel like it

817
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 8: already crowned. Buffalo is going to the Super Bowl. We

818
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 8: have no undefeated teams left, with Philadelphia losing, with Buffalo losing.

819
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 8: I look at the Patriots. They lost Week one at

820
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 8: home to the Raiders, and I think I kind of

821
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 8: wrote them off.

822
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 7: They've been three and one since.

823
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 8: This is by far their most impressive win, and a

824
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 8: battle of quarterbacks. May outplayed Allen. Buffalo had three turnovers.

825
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 8: They look sloppy, they made a ton the mistakes. It's

826
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 8: just one game aberration or the Patriots for real, and

827
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 8: maybe the Bills have come back to the pack a

828
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 8: little bit. What was your takeaway from the Sunday night game?

829
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what, As long as Andy Reid

830
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 3: and Patrick Mahomes exist, I will never say the Bills

831
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 3: are a shoe in for the super Bowl. But yeah,

832
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 3: what a game for the Patriots against the Bills the

833
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 3: other night. I respect Mike Vrabels so much. You know,

834
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,879
Speaker 3: when we play those Titans teams over the years when

835
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: he was the head coach, the Titans didn't always have

836
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: the most talented team, particularly late when they had like

837
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 3: Malik Willis as their quarterback or or whoever it might be.

838
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 3: But they were tough and you knew you were in

839
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 3: for a rock fight whenever you played that team. We

840
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: played them a couple of years ago when Willis started,

841
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 3: and I mean the Chiefs were far and away more

842
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 3: talented than Tennessee, but they just found a way to

843
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 3: make it this just in the mud kind of game.

844
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 3: And that's what Vrabel does.

845
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 4: He is tough.

846
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: He creates this atmosphere where it's not going to be

847
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 3: an easy four quarters even if you're expected to win.

848
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: And for him to go in there to Buffalo with

849
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 3: a second year quarterback and beat the Bills is incredibly impressive,

850
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 3: I think, and it says.

851
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 4: A lot about May. I mean May.

852
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 3: On that last drive, it was really easy to see

853
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 3: all this coming because the Patriots have that ten point

854
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: lead and it's like, Okay, the Bills are going to

855
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,280
Speaker 3: come back. There's going to be some kind of Josh

856
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 3: Allen incredible run here at the end, and everyone's going

857
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 3: to freak out and the Patriots are going to lose.

858
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: That almost happened, but the Patriots said, hold on, that's

859
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 3: not the narrative tonight. We're going to find a way

860
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: to win this. And for May, when I thought he

861
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,959
Speaker 3: was going to get sacked or at least it would

862
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 3: be a negative play, to find a way to complete

863
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: the pass on that final scoring drive. That was the

864
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 3: signature play of his career so far, and what was

865
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 3: the signature game of his career so far, and to

866
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 3: win that game says a lot about their culture. So

867
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 3: I think the Patriots could be a playoff team for sure.

868
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they're tough, they're physical, and Drake may is

869
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 3: a good player who showed that he was not afraid

870
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 3: of the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park. So yeah, we'll see.

871
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 3: But I enjoyed it.

872
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 7: I want to tag one more thing on that.

873
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 8: The thing that my biggest takeaway from that game is

874
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 8: that the Patriots were more physical than the Bills, particularly

875
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 8: on both lines. That's not something I would have expected

876
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 8: when I went into the game. I thought the Patriots

877
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 8: offensive line held up for the most part, and I

878
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 8: thought the Patriots defensive line played really well. So the

879
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 8: physicality part of it, I think that's a Mike Rabol

880
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 8: kind of thing. He's into the physicality of football. He's

881
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 8: old school. So yeah, let's keep our eye on the Patriots.

882
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 8: Maybe somebody who makes a trip to Arrowhead in the playoffs.

883
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 8: All right, let's go to the AFC West games coming

884
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 8: up this week. A game that I thought no one

885
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 8: would be interested outside of Los Angeles and Miami is

886
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 8: the Chargers at the Dolphins. The reason I think it's

887
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 8: somewhat compelling is is Mike McDaniel.

888
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 7: On the hot seat?

889
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 8: Is this sort of like they got to find a

890
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 8: way to win this game. I hate it when organizations

891
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 8: fire a coach midseason. I think you're basically throwing away

892
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 8: this season. So I'm not necessarily supporting that, But I

893
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 8: think the Chargers come into a place with playing a

894
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 8: really wounded team in the Dolphins, who gave up a

895
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 8: double digit lead at Carolina. They take another loss, so

896
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 8: I expect the Dolphins to be really hungry. We know

897
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 8: how banged up the Chargers are. I'm not exactly sure

898
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 8: what to expect from this game. What are your thoughts

899
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 8: on it?

900
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I kind of felt bad for the

901
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 3: Dolphins last week. They lose Tyreek the week prior, and

902
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: they race out to a seventeen to nothing lead, and

903
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 3: just looking at some of their people that cover the Dolphins,

904
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 3: they were all so excited, like look at this team,

905
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: like wow, Like they're responding seventeen nothing over Carolina, And

906
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 3: for Carolina to then come all the way back and

907
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 3: win that game, it's just devastating. It's got to be

908
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 3: tough being a Dolphins fan right now. You know the

909
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 3: thing that makes it interesting in my opinion, and this

910
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 3: is kind of a lazy narrative, I get it, but

911
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 3: I think it's real is the Chargers have to fly

912
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 3: five hours to get there, and I kind of was

913
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 3: interested in like their record in the Eastern time zone

914
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 3: and these early games, and it didn't really fit what

915
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 3: I thought it would. They're actually pretty good apparently in

916
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 3: the Eastern time Zone. But we did see it earlier

917
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 3: this year when the Chargers went to New York. I mean,

918
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 3: that's a long flight playing a team with nothing to lose.

919
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 3: We saw what happened. Similar deal here with Miami. The

920
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: Dolphins are still talented. They still have two a tongue Avaloa.

921
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 3: They still have Jayalen Waddle, still have Devon ah Chan.

922
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 3: They have good players on this team. Same with their

923
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 3: defense as well. Just haven't played well as a team

924
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 3: this year. It'll be tough for the Dolphins to win

925
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: this game, but again, you never know when teams fly

926
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 3: across the country, and when you're playing a team that

927
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 3: has nothing to lose.

928
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 7: That's r right, all right.

929
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 8: Next up overseas game the Broncos. They traveled to Philly,

930
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 8: the immediately got on a flight, flew overnight to get

931
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 8: over to England. This is a game against the Jets

932
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 8: that just screams blowout. But I'm gonna say, hold on, everybody,

933
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 8: it has the feeling to me of a tiny bit

934
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 8: of a trap game, right because the Jets, you talk

935
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 8: about a team with nothing to lose, I think that

936
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 8: they're literally it's.

937
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 7: Been a disaster, right.

938
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 8: I mean, I think coach Aaron Glen like this has

939
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 8: gone way worse than you could have anticipated. The Broncos

940
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 8: are suddenly riding high after their signature win. Do you

941
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 8: give the Jets any chance against the Broncos this weekend?

942
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 3: Well, the numbers say no, like you were saying. If

943
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 3: you look at just the numbers this year, I mean,

944
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: the Jets only winless team in the NFL. The Jets

945
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 3: defense has struggled this year, and their offense scored only

946
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: twenty two points against the Cowboys defense that I think

947
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: we both agree is not near the top of the

948
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 3: league last week. So statistically, it looks like the Broncos

949
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: should roll, like you said, but you never know, and

950
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 3: it's not quite apples to apples, but it does kind

951
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,560
Speaker 3: of remind me of back in twenty fourteen, the Chiefs

952
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: beat the Seattle Seahawks, at home, and the Seahawks back

953
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 3: then were like the big brother Like they were like

954
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 3: the big dude on the block. And the Chiefs beat

955
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 3: the Seahawks and then had a Thursday night game on

956
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: the road to play the zero to ten Oakland Raiders,

957
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 3: and it looked like the easiest thing ever, Like the

958
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: Chiefs just beat the Seahawks and then go play Oakland,

959
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: like that's going to be an easy win. Then you'll

960
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: go into kind of your many by week. Well, the

961
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 3: Raiders beat the Chiefs that week, and after playing Philly,

962
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 3: who has not played up to their potential, we all

963
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: agree with that, but they're still physical, they're still tough,

964
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 3: they're still taxing to play the Philadelphia Eagles. The Broncos

965
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: win that game, but then to go to London and

966
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 3: play a team with absolutely nothing to lose in the Jets.

967
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,720
Speaker 3: That's why we play the games, right, So we'll see

968
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 3: the numbers say that the Broncos should win this game

969
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 3: by two touchdowns, But there's a lot of circumstances going

970
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 3: on here where maybe the Jets can surprise us.

971
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 7: All right, let's hope.

972
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 8: So to our final AFC West matchup, the Tennessee Titans,

973
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,360
Speaker 8: coming off their first win of the season, travel to

974
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 8: Las Vegas to take on the Raiders. On paper, not

975
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 8: a very sexy matchup. How the Titans won the other

976
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 8: day is still mind boggling. The mistakes that Arizona had

977
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 8: to make to have this improbable comeback and for them

978
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 8: to win. Arizona suddenly a two to three. The Titans

979
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 8: get that elusive first win. They didn't necessarily play great,

980
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 8: but they're playing against a Raiders team that we both

981
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 8: agree has underachieved so far. Another game where I'm sort

982
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 8: of like that one might be tough to watch again.

983
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 8: I'm on the Kenny Pickett watch. I know that Pete

984
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 8: Carroll's a loyal guy. I know that genos has got

985
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 8: I get it. I realized it's a small sample I

986
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 8: don't know to me and thinks to maybe spark the

987
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 8: offense the Kenny Pickett Maybe if even if he doesn't start,

988
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 8: give him a chance to come in there, because whatever

989
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 8: they're doing with Genosmith isn't working.

990
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 7: This seems like a must.

991
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 8: Win, an easy win at home against a rookie quarterback.

992
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 8: But I don't know what to think about this When

993
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 8: I sort of think the Titans have a little bit

994
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 8: of momentum, and I think the Raiders need a spark,

995
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 8: and I think that spark could be Kenny Pickett.

996
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 7: What's your take.

997
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 3: I've got the Titans in this game. I think Tennessee

998
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 3: goes in there gets the win. I think winning the

999
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 3: way that they did is the way that you kind

1000
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 3: of build a culture. They certainly did not go into

1001
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,919
Speaker 3: Arizona and win with like fundamental football like they didn't.

1002
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 3: I don't think things went according to plan, but they

1003
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 3: found a way to win that game. And that's what

1004
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 3: teams do when they're competing, right as, you find a

1005
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 3: way to win it. Though it took some crazy circumstances,

1006
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 3: they found a way to win that game. And they

1007
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 3: have talent cam Ward number one overall pick for a reason.

1008
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 3: It's hard when you're losing and it's compounding, right, But

1009
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 3: when you find a way to win a game, it's like, oh,

1010
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 3: like we can do this. Like that felt pretty good.

1011
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 3: I guess a pretty good team in Arizona. So why

1012
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 3: can't they go into Vegas and beat the Raiders and

1013
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 3: just rely on their talent and say, hey, let's just

1014
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 3: go play football. You know, we've won a game. We

1015
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 3: got that monkey off our back. Let's go play football.

1016
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 3: I think the Titans can do it. And you're facing

1017
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 3: a Raiders team that kind of had expectations. I mean,

1018
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 3: you bring in a veteran in Gino Smith, you have expectations.

1019
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 3: They still kind of have something to lose in my mind,

1020
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 3: like they're trying to show that this experiment can work,

1021
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 3: or the Titans are a young team just playing football.

1022
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,719
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I think the Titan's got a shot.

1023
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 7: All right.

1024
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 8: So my game of the week coming up, and you

1025
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 8: could have made a very compelling case that it's the

1026
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 8: Detroit Lions at the Kan City Chiefs, But I'm telling you, guys,

1027
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 8: I'm trying to stay away from the chief stuff because

1028
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 8: you guys have that covered on DTK. So in a

1029
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 8: matchup nobody expected in Week six to be the game

1030
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 8: of the week, is D D D the forty nine

1031
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 8: ers at four and one visit the Buccaneers who are

1032
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 8: four and one. Definitely, when the schedule came out, I

1033
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 8: didn't think this was all that sex they have a matchup,

1034
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 8: but it suddenly is forty nine ers finding ways to win.

1035
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 8: My respect level for mac Jones a couple of years

1036
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 8: ago was near the bottom of the league. I didn't

1037
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 8: like him. I didn't like him as a quarterback. There

1038
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 8: was nothing about his game or the way he carried himself. Wow,

1039
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 8: did he earn a lot of respect last week in

1040
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 8: that Thursday night game against the Rams. I mean he

1041
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 8: got his butt kicked him. He literally got beat up

1042
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 8: and hung around, stayed in there.

1043
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 7: All of a sudden.

1044
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 8: Now, I think the forty nine ers got to think, Okay,

1045
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 8: when when Perty comes back, he's our guy. But we've

1046
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 8: got a guy who we can win games with. So

1047
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 8: pretty impressed with the forty nine Ers and four one.

1048
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 8: The buccaneers only loss came at home against the Eagles.

1049
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 8: These two teams are pretty legit and they're both gonna

1050
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 8: be factors in the NFC. This game maybe a big

1051
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 8: deal for playoff seating. I can't believe I'm to say that,

1052
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 8: but the forty nine Ers and the Bucks form one.

1053
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 7: It's my game of the week. What's your take on

1054
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 7: that matchup?

1055
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. It's fun.

1056
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 3: The Niners really impressive finding a way to do it

1057
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 3: last week despite all their injuries against the Rams. The

1058
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 3: receiver corps for the Niners has a bunch of familiar

1059
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,279
Speaker 3: names in it, you got to Marcus Robinson, sky Moore,

1060
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: Mike was Valdez scantling, and then Kendrick Bourne going off

1061
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 3: for like one hundred and forty yards in that game.

1062
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was impressive.

1063
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 3: I think it's funny because I think Shanahan there was

1064
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 3: all that smoke that he wanted Mac Jones in the

1065
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 3: draft a handful of years ago when they took Trey

1066
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 3: Lance instead. Kind of funny to see it come to

1067
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: fruition here. Maybe they should have done that. But yeah,

1068
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,839
Speaker 3: looking at the other side, I like the Bucks a lot.

1069
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 3: I think the Bucks are going to be in the

1070
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 3: NFC Championship game. They're a fun team Offensively, I think

1071
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 3: Egbuka is a heck of a receiver, but they have

1072
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 3: a bunch of weapons on that team. And I just

1073
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 3: love the way that Baker Mayfield plays. I've said that

1074
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 3: before on this like he's just going to go out

1075
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 3: there and give it one hundred and ten percent on

1076
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 3: every single snap. He's like that dude like in your

1077
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: like beer league, softball league or whatever that you know

1078
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 3: just is hanging on a little bit and is a

1079
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 3: little bit better than everyone else. That's what he reminds

1080
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 3: me of and he's a fun player. So I do

1081
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 3: think the Bucks win this game, and I think the

1082
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 3: Bucks are in store for a heck of a season.

1083
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: I think, you know, the Chiefs have got turned things

1084
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,359
Speaker 3: around here. Maybe we'll see the Bucks in the Super Bowl.

1085
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:18,759
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1086
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 7: Interesting though with Baker Mayfield.

1087
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 8: I think when he was early in his career with

1088
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 8: the Browns, I was a little put off by sort

1089
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 8: of the brashness. Ye at thirty years of age, it

1090
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 8: looks really good on him, Yeah, it does. Now he's

1091
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 8: earned the respect to how that brash is to be

1092
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 8: a little cocky out there, and his.

1093
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 7: Guys respond to him.

1094
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,279
Speaker 8: Right, So I think when he was really young, I thought, well,

1095
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 8: maybe you're a little ahead of this, right, you're acting

1096
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 8: like you're the man, and you haven't done anything yet. Well,

1097
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 8: now he's playing at a super high level. He's leading

1098
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 8: his team at his high level, and his team is

1099
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 8: four and one.

1100
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 7: So kudos to Baker.

1101
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 8: All right, now to our final thoughts, and this week

1102
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 8: is especially fun one for me. So I may have

1103
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 8: told you during training camp, in the preseason and over

1104
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 8: the summer, I was a volunteer flag football coach for

1105
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,479
Speaker 8: my daughter and I just loved it. It was my first

1106
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 8: taste of coaching in football at any level. So fast

1107
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 8: forward to this fall, She's playing on her team and

1108
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 8: I was just like helping out with substitutions and other things. Well,

1109
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 8: after the last game, the head coach came to me.

1110
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 8: He said, I want you to be my offensive coordinator.

1111
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 8: So this past Friday night was my first ever game

1112
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 8: as an offensive coordinator. And keep in mind these are

1113
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 8: first and second graders. So we had four possessions. We

1114
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 8: scored four touchdowns. You have a chance to go for

1115
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 8: one at the five yard long, ago for two at

1116
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,240
Speaker 8: the ten. We went for two every time, converted all four.

1117
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 8: We scored thirty two points and a thirty two to

1118
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 8: twenty five win. Felt like I won the Super Bowl.

1119
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 8: It was as much fun as I've ever had around

1120
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 8: the game. I'm chomping at the bit for my second

1121
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 8: game coming up, and I want to leave you with

1122
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 8: something to all coaches. Make your play sound fun. This

1123
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,760
Speaker 8: is what I went with for my kids. My basic

1124
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,239
Speaker 8: running play in the I formation, we called Popsicle. What's

1125
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 8: more fun than that? Kids love popsicles. Then for my

1126
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 8: one passing play with crossing routes, we called it cookies,

1127
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 8: and then for my one trick play everybody's favorites ice cream.

1128
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 8: Right on the opening play of the game, we ran

1129
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 8: a simple reverse to the wide receiver he takes it

1130
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 8: for six. So we had scoring plays on popsicle, cookies

1131
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 8: and ice cream. And that is my final thought for

1132
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 8: this week.

1133
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 4: That is awesome.

1134
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 3: I'm imagining you as like a young Andy Reid, just

1135
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 3: scheming this thing up like you're watching it.

1136
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 7: You're watching it. Yeah.

1137
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 8: I got a whiteboard and I have magnets with all

1138
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 8: the kids' names on, and I'm sure the other parents

1139
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 8: are like, this guy is losing his mind.

1140
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 7: But I'm telling you the most fun thing ever.

1141
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 3: By the end of the year, you'll have the kids

1142
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,879
Speaker 3: running like orbit motions and right putting people like concertain positions.

1143
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: I love it.

1144
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

1145
00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 3: I have to make it out there for a game

1146
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 3: to watch you in action.

1147
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: This is good.

1148
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1149
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 3: My parting thought is for those of you that watch

1150
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 3: the video portion of this conversation, you're probably wondering, does

1151
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,839
Speaker 3: already have any chief scare? And the answer is it's

1152
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 3: on the way. And I realized something about myself that

1153
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if I had ever sent a package

1154
00:51:05,320 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 3: in the mail before, but I.

1155
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 4: Got a box.

1156
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 3: I went to UPS, I got a box and I

1157
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 3: put Ari's stuff in there. It is in the mail.

1158
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 3: My wife was there. She helped me do it. So

1159
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 3: if it was just me, I would be worried about

1160
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 3: it making it. But I have now mailed the package

1161
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 3: and the package is on the way to Ari, and

1162
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: hopefully the next time you see Ari, he'll be wearing

1163
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 3: some Chief skiar. We're also working on like a backdrop

1164
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 3: for him. Hopefully by the Super Bowl we'll have that.

1165
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 3: I don't know when it will be ready, but we're

1166
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 3: working on it.

1167
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 7: If people are wondering, well, I appreciate that.

1168
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 8: And I know that Mitch loves talking about the map,

1169
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:39,319
Speaker 8: so hopefully we'll get at least one or two more

1170
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 8: episodes where he can talk the map behind me. He

1171
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 8: seems particularly fascinated with Kazakhstan. Listen, Matt, it's always such

1172
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,799
Speaker 8: a pleasure looking forward to watching the Chiefs this week

1173
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 8: against the Lions. Before we came on, you predicted a

1174
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 8: Chief's victory. I second that because it only makes sense

1175
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 8: in a season that hasn't made any sense.

1176
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 7: But that's going to do it for out West this week.

1177
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: So thanks to he's just started sleuth spy who lurks

1178
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: around the National Football League now Sunday Night football the Lions.

1179
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: We laid it out there for you, but I'm encouraged

1180
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs to see. And you mentioned it was

1181
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: just good, good, good good, and then oh come on,

1182
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: good good good, Oh come on, and all three phases

1183
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,479
Speaker 1: did that. But the good good good is getting enough there.

1184
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,479
Speaker 1: And I featured on the Chief Kingdom Show the three

1185
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 1: plays Taekwon Thornton made, because those three plays were significant,

1186
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: all three different plays. He is learning now against the

1187
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 1: cover zero blitz. He made that play down the center

1188
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: of the field where Pat has trusted him. Then he

1189
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: made the play where Pat scrambling around finding the void,

1190
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: and then he pinned spatial awareness. So now Thornton, we

1191
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: saw worthy doing what he's doing. It's just a matter

1192
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: of when you have a chance to seize a game

1193
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs did against Jacksonville, like the chief did

1194
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, then you seize it, especially when you're

1195
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: playing the Detroit City Lions, who again are the best

1196
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 1: team I think in the NFL going into Week six.

1197
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 3: And that's the difference in the end in these games.

1198
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 3: The Chiefs have played well enough to win the games

1199
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 3: that they have lost. For the most part, it's come

1200
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 3: down to a couple of plays at the very end.

1201
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 3: And to these opponents credit, they have made the plays

1202
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 3: and we have not. We are very accustomed to the

1203
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 3: Chiefs making those plays in the end. I've seen the

1204
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 3: script of the fourth quarter in Jacksonville so many times,

1205
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 3: like we were saying earlier, where we march down the

1206
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 3: field eight minute drive, you take the lead with less

1207
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,759
Speaker 3: than two minutes left, that game is over. And we've

1208
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,359
Speaker 3: seen that time and time again. To Jacksonville's credit, they

1209
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 3: find a way to go win it. The Chiefs defense

1210
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 3: has been the best defense in football since the beginning

1211
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 3: of the twenty twenty three season. They've closed out games

1212
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 3: time and time again in situations just like that didn't

1213
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 3: happen on Monday Night. But here's the difference between the

1214
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 3: Chiefs and other teams, in my opinion, is they do

1215
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 3: not let those things snowball. They don't think about it,

1216
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 3: dwell on it, linger on it, they move on, and

1217
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 3: they are better from it. And that might sound like

1218
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,359
Speaker 3: we're just trying to be positive. I've seen this time

1219
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 3: and time again. Go back and look at the Colts

1220
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 3: game in twenty twenty two game the Chiefs had no

1221
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 3: business losing, kind of gave that game away. And the

1222
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 3: next week they're playing the Buccaneers in primetime, and the

1223
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 3: Buccaneers were rolling at that point. They had the best

1224
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 3: defense in football, they had Tom Brady playing really, really well,

1225
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs for underdogs in that game. The Chiefs

1226
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 3: go in they beat the Buccaneers. There are so many

1227
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,360
Speaker 3: examples of that where I think the Chiefs have an

1228
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 3: opportunity here to embrace this challenge of being doubted.

1229
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 4: They love that right.

1230
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 3: You have a chance to take on a team that

1231
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 3: we think is very good in Detroit, a team that

1232
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 3: everyone else is probably going to pick this week, and

1233
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 3: the Chiefs can go out there and play this team

1234
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 3: and they can remind everyone we didn't play great last week,

1235
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 3: we didn't finish. We are still the Chiefs and that's

1236
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,359
Speaker 3: the opportunity on the line here this week.

1237
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,239
Speaker 1: Well, Jared Goff watched this tape and go, do I

1238
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: get to be the Michael Vick impersonator this week? Because

1239
