1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,359 Speaker 1: In the Chiefs Kingdom. 2 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 2: Nine and oh means hey, tying a franchise record of 3 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: twenty three and twenty thirteen. Outside of the Chiefs Kingdom, 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: it has been bewilderment. How could that team go nine 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 2: and oh? Is this the worst nine and oh team 6 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: in NFL history. We'll just pay attention over the next 7 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 2: minutes on defending the Kingdom. We'll jump in to why 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 2: we think the Kansas City Chiefs are a legit nine 9 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 2: and oh ready to go ten and oh in Buffalo 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 2: and a lot of you will be there in Buffalo 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 2: because of Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster is your connection over these next 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 2: eight regular season games and into the playoffs. 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: As we see a lot of you on the road, 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: us down. Let's just tickets. Blood. 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 3: It's bucked. That's blood the chief buck. They're gonna stay undefeated. 16 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: However, you wan. 17 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: I'm Mitcheld, his voice of the Chiefs along with Senior 18 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 2: team reporter award winning Matt McMullen. I'm fired up this week. 19 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: I'm fired up this week. I'm driving home from the 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: game after this one percent chance to win. And by 21 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 2: the way, Leo Chanel will be with us on the show. 22 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: You do not want to miss it. It's coming up. 23 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 1: He blocks the field goal. 24 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: But I'm hearing Pundit's talk and two guys on a 25 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: national show and one is asking, let's talk about the 26 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs. 27 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: And the other guy goes, do we have to? 28 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 2: And they're saying, this is the worst nine to zero 29 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: team ever in NFL history. I almost drove off the 30 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 2: road and I thought, nope, I'm already in buffalo mode. 31 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 2: We're going to jump into but you aren't you It's 32 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 2: driving me crazy if people go they can't appreciate what 33 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: this Chiefs team. 34 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 4: Is, so we shouldn't let it bother us. But I 35 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 4: do give this some thought. First of all, the Chiefs 36 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 4: have won three Super Bowls in five years and are 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 4: coming off back to back Super Bowls and they're undefeated, 38 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 4: So I'm not really sure you can take anything away 39 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 4: from this team. What it is is Nationally, people cannot 40 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 4: explain how a team can sustain success like this because 41 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 4: it doesn't happen really in any sport. Golden State War 42 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 4: maybe are the most recent one in the Big four sports, 43 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 4: but it just does not happen where a team wins 44 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 4: every year no matter the circumstances, and it frustrates people, 45 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 4: and a lot of these people their favorite teams aren't 46 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 4: winning and they can't figure out why does that team 47 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 4: keep winning when mine does? And so that's what I 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: chalk it up to, because if you use facts and 49 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: logic and reason, the Chiefs are doing what they've done 50 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 4: every single year since coachried got here. It still feels 51 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 4: like the season just started. We just locked up already, 52 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 4: our twelfth consecutive winning season. Twelve consecutive winning seasons. Think 53 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 4: about that. The Bills ironically are the next closest team 54 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 4: in terms of consecutive winning seasons with an active streak. 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 4: I think they have like five or six. So yeah, 56 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 4: I mean, if people around the country want to take 57 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 4: away from this team, be my guest. I guess, but 58 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 4: the Yous have beaten five teams this year that are 59 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 4: either five hundred or above right now. A team that's 60 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 4: not included and that is Cincinnati, who will we agree 61 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 4: is better than the record says. So yeah, if you 62 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 4: want to take it away from the Chiefs, that's fine. 63 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 4: I guess we will just keep winning. 64 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: Buffalo, We're going to get into them. Mad respect for him, 65 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 2: but they've only played three teams of the winning record. 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: They're one and two, so it's been very different of 67 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: what the teams have faced up to this point. 68 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: That's okay, we're gonna get there. 69 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 2: We're into facts and we're gonna get to that in 70 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: a second and some opinion based on fact. 71 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's go in for there you go. 72 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, but again, Leo Chanel will be with us on 73 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 2: this episode. Uh, and we're entitling it. How does his 74 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 2: team nine and oh and ten and oh in Buffalo? Okay, 75 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: let's go around the world though, as we get ready 76 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: to tell the world what you and I think? 77 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 4: Why we think the chiefs for nine and oh got 78 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: a bunch today. So I heard from Tyler and Lebanon, Missouri. 79 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Yellow Jackets. 80 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: By the way he wrote that down was one Jackets baby, Yeah, 81 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: home of the Yellow Jackets, not Lebanon, Kansas. 82 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: Some of the Broncos. There's a yeah, I think there's 83 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of them anyway, Yeah, Sedars of Lebanon. 84 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 4: And this is a little bit somber, but it's also 85 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: a good story. So he's been a fan of his life, 86 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: shared that one of his best friends is diagnosed with 87 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: cancer and two has a night team and his dream 88 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: was to see the Chiefs won the Super Bowl, and 89 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 4: he did that right before he passed. So it's more 90 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 4: than football, you know, it's more than a football team. 91 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: We get that. 92 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: So shout out to you, Tyler.

But I'm calling 179 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: the game not a walk off, but a block off. 180 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: The block off. 181 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: I wish I'd have thought about it right away, but anyway, 182 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: kind of hit me later. 183 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: But you're not expecting necessarily a one percent chance happening 184 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: the block off. 185 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: I was ready for it.

Okay, 201 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: but they are claiming dual citizenship. We talked about this 202 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: last week, yes, yea right, yeah, And so Daniel Abraham 203 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: came to his first every game he had to come 204 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: to Arrowhead Stadium, GHA Field at Aerohead Stadium, he came. 205 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: They are called the school Chiefs. 206 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: Okay. 207 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 2: They are now named school chiefs with dual citizenship. So 208 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 2: when the day come like last year when we play 209 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,359 Speaker 2: the Vikings, they must decide. 210 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: But other than that they're both okay. 211 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 2: So we appreciate all our school chiefs and Daniel now 212 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: leading the way on defending the Kingdom around the world 213 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 2: for that. 214 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: And we'll bring in Paul Allen. We may have to 215 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: have Paul Allen sometimes. 216 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: I would love that as I'd love to meet out. 217 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: He's so intriguing. 218 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just a really awesome to play by play 219 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 2: voice of the Minnesota Vikings. To bring in this whole 220 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: school chief dynamic and see what he says. 221 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: So we'll have him on DTK. 222 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 4: You know that crazy whin the Vikings had over the 223 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 4: Bills a couple of years ago, ironically talking about Buffalo 224 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 4: where Justin Jefferson had like the catch and quadruple coverage 225 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 4: on fourth and forever. 226 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: Looked liked hop against the Bucks. 227 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 3: He did. 228 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, their booth is going berserk and they had like 229 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 4: the GoPro and they're booth like they do for you, 230 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 4: and it's just so funny. And their team reporter, I 231 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 4: think spots on the road as well. So for those 232 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 4: that don't know on the road, all often spot for Mitch, 233 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: which means I basically help him with who is making 234 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 4: plays And I don't speak, so I have to be silent, 235 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 4: but I'm losing my mind. Well, their guy was losing 236 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 4: his mind too, and like rocking back and forth, and 237 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 4: it's just so great. So I just saw it kind 238 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 4: of like us in them and vice versa. So shout 239 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 4: out to them. 240 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 3: They're great. 241 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: Well, we're going to jump into why Matt and I 242 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 2: think the Chiefs are nine and oh while the rest 243 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: of the world outside of the Chiefs Kingdom is perplexed. 244 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: Or angry at don't I don't either. 245 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: Can't be proof scientifically, well maybe it can, but we're 246 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: going to go into offense, defense and special teams and 247 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: give each one of our opinions why I think this 248 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: team is nine and oher and this team is unique, 249 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 2: different than the other teams. That's what coach Reed says 250 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: every year. Every team's unique. And you know what Buffalo 251 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 2: is unique. They're different than they've been. We all think 252 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: it's the same team. It is not the same Buffalo 253 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 2: team that we've seen in years past. But they're eight 254 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 2: and two and they've done an excellent job. Sean McDermot 255 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 2: and Josh Allen Okay, my opinion on the offensive side, 256 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: and I like to look at beyond the obvious stats 257 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: many times, and it's the hidden yardage of why this 258 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: team is so much better booked the book right now, 259 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: the twenty three team, and it's the fact that when 260 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 2: you look at drops last year, the Chiefs led the 261 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: galaxy and drops, it was ghastly. Depending on how you 262 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: view a drop from the different sources, anywhere between thirty 263 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: five and forty three. Well, if pat averages at nine 264 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: yards of completion, do the math, and if one hundred 265 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: yards equal seven points, do the math even further. This 266 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: year the Chiefs have only sixteens have fewer drops in 267 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: the Chiefs that adds up to almost seven points. The 268 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 2: other one and this is the big one, is penalties 269 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: that the third fewest penalties in the league on the 270 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs, third fewest penalties, And when you're playing 271 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: a team like Denver or coming up. 272 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 5: This week against the Bills, who are number one in 273 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 5: the league, enforcing penalties against their opponent, you are gaining 274 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 5: yardage back. 275 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: Last year the Chiefs finished fourteenth. 276 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: I looked at it booked to book they were worse 277 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 2: than that at this point a year ago. You add 278 00:11:55,720 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: those two together, drop passes or way fewer drop passes 279 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: a whole bunch of only seven compared to let's say forty. 280 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 2: Then that and the penalty yardage, which is way better, 281 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 2: you're actually getting somewhere in the range of ten to 282 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: thirteen points you didn't have a year ago. That's how 283 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: you win close games. And to me, that's two overlooked 284 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: areas of why this Chiefs team is nine to zero. 285 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 4: That exact kind of overall category is why we lost 286 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 4: some games last year. I think about the Lions game, 287 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 4: for sure, penalties and drops, the Packers game, the Broncos 288 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: game in Denver for sure, the Raiders game on Christmas, 289 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 4: no doubt, and the Bills game was a penalty at 290 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 4: the very end or else. We've done that game, So 291 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: I'm with you one hundred percent on that. Another one, 292 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 4: and this is a bit more obvious, but it is 293 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 4: kind of a fun one. It's third down efficiency. Our 294 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 4: third down offense has been excellent this year. Were the 295 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 4: number one third down offense in the NFL at fifty 296 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 4: two percent. And it's not just a certain distance. Really 297 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 4: all over the place, we've been really good and efficient. 298 00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: On third and four to third and six, we're converting 299 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 4: seventy two point four percent of the time, best in 300 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 4: the NFL. Third and seven or longer we're at thirty 301 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: four point six percent of the time, also best in 302 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: the NFL, and specifically third and ten. Nobody ever wants 303 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 4: to be in third and ten, but we're best in 304 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 4: the NFL on third down at third and ten as well, 305 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: at thirty two point one percent. We've converted nine third 306 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 4: and ten or longers this year. Since d Hop got here, 307 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 4: we're even better. We're sixty two percent overall on third down, 308 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 4: best in the NFL since he got here. And looking 309 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 4: at some advanced metrics as well, are you familiar with EPA, yep, So, 310 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: looking at EPA, it's expected points added it's basically a 311 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,359 Speaker 4: measure of how well a team performs relative to expectation, 312 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 4: kind of like war and baseball, and of course, like 313 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,839 Speaker 4: take it with a grain of salt. I mean, it's 314 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 4: not a hard fast stat but there's some subjectivity to it. 315 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 4: But overall, EPA you. 316 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: Have to start like win's above replacement in baseball. 317 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 4: Where's your start as a baseline, Yeah, there's got to 318 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 4: be a point, So just take it for what you will. 319 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 4: But in this case it helps my point because in 320 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 4: terms of EPA on third down, the Chiefs are the 321 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 4: best offense in the NFL in terms of total EPA 322 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 4: and success rate. They're also sixth and explosive play rate 323 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 4: on third down. Based on EPA, it means they stay 324 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 4: on the field all right, and Casey leads the NFL 325 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 4: and drives of ten or more plays with twenty six 326 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 4: and when they finish in the red zone, this formula. 327 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 3: Is just very very difficult to beat. 328 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 4: And the Chiefs had done that for a couple weeks 329 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 4: from week seven through nine, they were eleven for thirteen 330 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 4: in terms of a red zone touchdown efficiency. Last week 331 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 4: just won for four. That's why the game was close. 332 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 4: That difference there is twelve points if the Chiefs finished 333 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 4: in the red zone just one more time last week. 334 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 4: We're not talking about a game winning blockoff, So anyway, 335 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 4: for me, it's third down efficiency. The Chiefs have been 336 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 4: nails on third down all year long. Got to be 337 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 4: good on third down against the Bills. 338 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: And to your point you mentioned the third and ten 339 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: plus the Denver Broncos outstanding defense. 340 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: We saw it. We laid it out for you last week. 341 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: We're two of twenty seven in dislacking twenty five out 342 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: of twenty seven times they disallowed a first down on 343 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: third and ten plus, and those two were scrambled runs, 344 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: not passes. The Chiefs had two in this game of 345 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: thirty yards or more, the p Ryan play of thirty 346 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: three yards and the d Hop play of thirty one. 347 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: And if you look at Pat's comparison of his life 348 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: with the hop and without the hop, then you'll see 349 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 2: one of the reasons reason that this team actually has 350 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: a ceiling moving forward because the numbers are drastically better. 351 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: So offensively, there's our opinion of why we think the 352 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 2: Chiefs are nine to zero that you're not going to 353 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: hear from the national pundits. We're mystified that why is 354 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: this team the worst team to be nine to zero? 355 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: Maybe not? 356 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: And this team has ceiling that O'll frighten everybody who 357 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 2: doubt and disrespect and dislike the Chiefs. All right, defense, 358 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: you get the first one defense. So I'm gonna go 359 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: with our run defense this year. And this is a 360 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: super basic answer, but I think it's at the core 361 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: of why any defense is good. 362 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 4: And you got to stop the run first. And the 363 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 4: Chiefs defense has been excellent against the run this year. 364 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 4: We're allowing three point sixty five yards per rush this season. 365 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 4: Only Baltimore has been better. We're allowing just eighty three 366 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 4: point two rushing yards per game, third best in the NFL. 367 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: We've allowed only sixteen runs of ten or more yards, 368 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: second best in the league. And the only player who 369 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 4: has had any success on the ground against us this 370 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 4: year has been Lamar Jackson. Lamar rushed for one hundred 371 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 4: and twenty two yards in Week one. Almost all of 372 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 4: those were scrambles, and Lamar is a unique player right, 373 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 4: very difficult to stop him because he's also a quarterback 374 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 4: who can throw the football. Everyone else this year against 375 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 4: the Chiefs has struggled to run the football. Listen to 376 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 4: all these players who had double digit carries against the Chiefs. 377 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 4: Jordan Mason just fifty eight rushing yards, Derrick Henry forty 378 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 4: six rushing yards, could be the MVP of the league 379 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 4: forty six yards, JK Dobbins thirty two yards, Bjean Robbinson 380 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 4: thirty one yards, Alvin Kamara had twenty six yards, and 381 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 4: Alexander Mattinson on the Raiders just fifteen rushing yards on 382 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 4: fourteen carries. We're making team one dimensional every single week 383 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 4: and you force these quarterbacks to make plays, and sometimes 384 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 4: they will, but if you make them, you force them 385 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 4: to make plays every single time. Eventually they're going to 386 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 4: make a mistake, there's going to be an incompletion, something's 387 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 4: gonna happen. And that's one of the main reasons the 388 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 4: defense has held thirty consecutive opponents under twenty eight total points. 389 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: Now we're back all the way to the early days 390 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: of Andy Reid in Philadelphia, to the last time that 391 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 2: was Jim Johnson's defense, amazing defensive coordinator. And I will 392 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: add mine why I think this team is nine to zero, 393 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 2: and I'll take it down to a personal player. There 394 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 2: are three players who have gone not one notch higher, 395 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: but two notches higher. Think about ninety days ago in 396 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 2: the discussion about and I love Lageria Snead, I love him, 397 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 2: I love him. But Jamari Connor booked a book as 398 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: playing at a level higher than Lagerius Snead was at 399 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 2: this time in his career. 400 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: Chamorroy Connor has been brilliant. 401 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, coverage open field tackling, which is overlooked in 402 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 2: this league. He is one the best open field tacklers, 403 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,880 Speaker 2: much like Sneed was in the National Football League. Big 404 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: jump higher for Tamari Connor. Another one is Turk Wharton. 405 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 2: We saw it in OTAs, we saw it in training camp. 406 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: They usually do not lie in that eye test. And 407 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: what Turk Wharton has done is elevate to a level 408 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 2: that most thought he would never reach. And another one 409 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: is Leo Chanal. Leo Chanal his play and we're going 410 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: to get into it with Leo here in a second. 411 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 2: His play against Yushchek on the wheel route in the 412 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: San Francisco game. 413 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 1: We saw it last year in the Super Bowl. 414 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: Impact plays there, the block pat forcing fumbles. But Leoh 415 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 2: has taken his game to two levels higher, and why 416 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: not jump in and check out with number fifty four 417 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: of the Kansas City Chiefs. This week's guest Leo Chanal. 418 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't we have him on defending the Kingdom? Leo 419 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: Chanal incredible with the block field goal. But I'm going 420 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 2: to ask you to start. What people are trying to 421 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: figure out is how we're nine and oh and that's 422 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: the thesis of this show. What would you say? Why 423 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 2: is this team nine and oh? Because it's mystifying the world, 424 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 2: like the chief should not be nine and oh the 425 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 2: worst nine or o team ever? What would you say? 426 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 5: I just say that we really really find a way 427 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 5: to win, whether it's offense, defense, special teams. 428 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: You know, when when one area is. 429 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 5: Kind of slacking, not playing up to the standard, I 430 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 5: feel like, you know, the other the other phase kind 431 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 5: of pulls pulls the slack a little bit. 432 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: It's it's kind of crazy to. 433 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 5: See, even for me being here for three years, the 434 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 5: way that we find a way to win, you know, 435 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 5: pull each other up when again, when offense or defense 436 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 5: slacking and we're like we always hype each other up 437 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 5: on the sideline going out, It's you just see a 438 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 5: bunch of guys just constantly pulling out each other. 439 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: It's kind of like synergy. 440 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 5: Man, It's like working together, and it's like a constant 441 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 5: you know, it's throughout the week two. You know, it's 442 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 5: it's guys pulling each other up when somebody miss up play. 443 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 5: It's it's constant, you know, just encouragement. 444 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 4: You've been a part of a lot of big wins, 445 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 4: a lot of big moments here, as in you've been 446 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 4: in Kansas City. Where does the electricity in the stadium rank? 447 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: Though? 448 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 4: And I mean everyone just lost their minds. How cool 449 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,479 Speaker 4: is that? Uh, It's it's unreal. It's it was. 450 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 5: It was so much disbelief, you know, I was saying earlier, 451 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 5: it's like you feel the feeling of the ball, you know, hit, 452 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 5: You hear the sound, no greater sound, you know you 453 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 5: you sense all that, and you still got to like 454 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,719 Speaker 5: look around like did this really happen? And you just 455 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 5: see the smiles and the excitement with everybody, your teammates, 456 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 5: the fans, all that. It's so hard to beat and 457 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 5: there's very few moments that I could, you know, compare to. 458 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 3: It even got Coach Read to smile. 459 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: You were talking about this earlier off camera, but if 460 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 4: you watch the broadcast. Even coach Reid is like whoa 461 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 4: and smiles all big. It's just the best. 462 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah, I brought that up because 463 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 5: I'm like, man, this guy, like during game, he is stoic, 464 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 5: you know, he's so serious when there's a great play, 465 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 5: a bad play, you know, he's just always just like 466 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 5: he's like locked in, you know. 467 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: And just seeing that was like, Okay, that's pretty sweet. 468 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: I've told Matt this many times. 469 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 2: There's no sweeter sound in football then that thump of 470 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 2: a block kick, whether it's a field goal or a punt. 471 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: But the belief that you had when we talked to 472 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 2: you after the game on rewind the belief that you had. 473 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna add this one with the question the 474 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: class of twenty two. I was impressed with you guys 475 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: the first day you walked in the building. But Cochrane 476 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: blows the dude, you're coming, Carl Loftis is coming right 477 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 2: behind you. Start with the belief that you guys were 478 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: going to pull that off one percent of one percent 479 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 2: chance to that class, and the fact that you guys 480 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: are so strong mentally. 481 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, to start it off, it's it's just 482 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 5: that that unit that we have. 483 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: You know I mentioned it. 484 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,880 Speaker 5: Uh, it's the punt return safe unit, it's the field 485 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 5: goal block unit. It's anytime you know, guys are on 486 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 5: special teams that aren't normally on special teams, and it's 487 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 5: everybody but that specific group. They're they're starters on defense. 488 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 5: They don't you know, a lot of people get by 489 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 5: with not giving you know, one hundred percent effort. Eight 490 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 5: maybe they're good ninety percent effort. But if you watch 491 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 5: just our punt return team when when they're in, those 492 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 5: are some of our biggest plays when the defense stay 493 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 5: is in, They're they're really going hard every play. You 494 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,400 Speaker 5: see Turk and everybody running downfield, you know, blocking guys 495 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 5: up in the line, and then field goal block. 496 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: It's just one hundred percent. 497 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 5: Like you go on fifteen to twenty play drives and 498 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 5: they're just zooming off the ball still. You know, just 499 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 5: Jay Reid, you know someone I mentioned, like I'm constantly 500 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 5: competing with him. He's he's out there way more plays 501 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 5: than me and he's just beating me off the ball 502 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 5: and it's just insane.

It's I'm telling you season season nine. It's 734 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 5: in You're in Gransburg's in it? 735 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: Oh man, Let's go come on, yeah. 736 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 5: Let's go to Buffalo and go ten and oh with 737 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 5: this guy. 738 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 2: Leo Chanel. Wow, Kingdom is now discovering more and more 739 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: about Leo Shanal. 740 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 4: He's the best, just an awesome guy on and off 741 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 4: the field. An incredible moment at the stadium. I mean, 742 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 4: we've had so many great moments like I asked him, 743 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 4: and great games, but the electricity in the stadium in 744 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 4: that moment was just incredible. It is phenomenal, right, and 745 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 4: he was right in the middle of it. Another reason 746 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 4: why this team is nine to zero and why we've 747 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 4: had so much success over the last several years is 748 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 4: the Chiefs win on Day two and Day three of 749 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 4: the draft. And you talked about Treshaun Wharton, undrafted free 750 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,120 Speaker 4: agent back in twenty twenty, Chamari Connor fourth round pick 751 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago, and Leo Chanell getting him 752 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 4: in the third round. A lot of teams hit in 753 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,520 Speaker 4: the first round. That's important. We talk about top ten 754 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 4: picks and all that, but the Chiefs are going to 755 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 4: be picking at the bottom of each round every year 756 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 4: because we're good. How do you adapt? How do you 757 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 4: keep that success going? You find players like Leo in 758 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 4: the third round who maybe some GMS man that's crazy, 759 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 4: isn't it. A GM told him that he would never 760 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 4: be good in coverage, like, okay, the guy's like twenty 761 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 4: one years old. Whatever, Well, he finds a way to 762 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 4: be an impact player. And the Chiefs roster is full 763 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 4: of guys like that that maybe didn't have all the 764 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 4: fanfare coming out of college. They weren't a first round pick, 765 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 4: but the Chiefs say, let's give you a chance, let's 766 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 4: see what you can do in this system, and they thrive, 767 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 4: and it says a lot about the culture here. 768 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 2: I loved what he said about special teams. We're going 769 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 2: to close it out this way because you and I 770 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,840 Speaker 2: have given our opinion of why we think this team 771 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,440 Speaker 2: is nine and zero while the rest of the world 772 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 2: is mystified by it. And I love what he said 773 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 2: about special teams. Even when it's the defense out there 774 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 2: on teams and they want to get a return. They 775 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 2: almost got it with McCole Hardman against San Francis, so close, 776 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: so awesome. But I would say on special teams, we're 777 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 2: looking at it why this is different? And my thought 778 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 2: is McCole hardman, honestly, his confidence is back. 779 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: The punt return. 780 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 2: That punt return is nearly kick six at halftime against 781 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 2: the Broncos. Mc Coole Hardman is back in the return 782 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 2: game with his confidence that he was in twenty nineteen 783 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 2: when he started all this with that fifty eight yard 784 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 2: kickoff return in the rally against the Houston Texans. And 785 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 2: then there's other contributors, guys like Jayden Hicks, Cam Jones 786 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 2: and others who have Jack Cochran that we mentioned there. 787 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 2: But to me, special teams wins games. We just saw 788 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: it literally and literally just saw it. But attention to 789 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,839 Speaker 2: detail your thought on why special teams in this team 790 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 2: is nine to now. 791 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 4: The coordinators always speak to the media on Thursday. I 792 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 4: can't wait to see just the swagger that tobwalks in 793 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 4: up to the press conference rom on Thursday. He's going 794 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 4: to be the happiest guy in the world. Myanzer is 795 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 4: Mattaiza at punter. He's averaging fifty point five yards per 796 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 4: punt this year, only punted twenty six times as twenty 797 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 4: seventh in the NFL. The Chiefs don't punt a whole lot, 798 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 4: but al those twenty six punts, he's dropped eleven of 799 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 4: them inside the opponent's twenty yard line. And think about 800 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 4: the formula for the Chiefs this year. So it's this 801 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 4: ball control style of offense. It's converting on third down 802 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 4: kind of grindings moving down the field. 803 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 3: Hopefully they score. 804 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,240 Speaker 4: But if they don't score, okay, we'll bring out matt Riza, 805 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 4: maybe one of the best punters in the NFL. Pen 806 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,279 Speaker 4: you deep in your own territory, then let the best 807 00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 4: defense in football go to work. Let's say the opposition 808 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,719 Speaker 4: goes three and out, they punt. Now we have the 809 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 4: ball at the fifty, so matt Riza. You can break 810 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 4: it down a whole bunch of games this year where 811 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 4: maybe the offense is struggling a little bit, but he 812 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 4: booms like a sixty five yard punt, the defense makes 813 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 4: a play and then we score. So the field position 814 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 4: game isn't a super fun thing to talk about, but 815 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 4: Matta Riza has been such a weapon for the Chiefs 816 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 4: this year. 817 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 2: Remember, everybody is net punting. Don't look at gross as 818 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 2: much as net punting. But when he hit that one 819 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter at the nine exactly, that was 820 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 2: a gigantic play in that game. And then Felix was 821 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: able to smell out the play that they were waiting 822 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 2: to run on the design run by bow Nicks, but 823 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 2: to get him stop back there led to the go 824 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,960 Speaker 2: ahead field goal, So I'm with you on matt Riza. 825 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: So there you go, folks. 826 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 2: That's just some of our thoughts of why this Kansas 827 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,400 Speaker 2: City team is nine and oh and how good is 828 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 2: Lee O? 829 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 1: And can the Chiefs go ten? And oh? 830 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 2: And set an all time franchise record in Buffalo
