1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs are using their hard earned bye 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: week to get ready for the divisional playoff round, while 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: the rest of the AFC and the rest of the 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: NFL Sands Detroit is slugging it out this weekend in 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: the wildcard round. But we go mathematical this week because 6 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: we present to you the equation this week on defending 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: the Kingdom of E squared equals question mark as we 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: try to solve the unknown variable. It's all brought to 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: you by Ticketmaster. Great to find them, know them, use 10 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: them for the playoffs. In the room, slings it Sider 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: into the end zone, Touchdown chanzas City harvery wan. I'm 12 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: Mitchelt's voice of the Chiefs, along with senior team reporter 13 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: Matt McMullin, who survived the weekend in Denver with three 14 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: hours on the plane on the tarmac. 15 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 2: That noted you, right, I mean, it wasn't that bad 16 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 2: though we'd unlimited food and unlimited movies. I think people 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: were feeling kind of bad for us. It's like it 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 2: could be a lot worse. 19 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: Okay, you know, and then first time in thirty one 20 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: years to not be able to get home. So yeah, 21 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: I said, that was a new experience. The other one though, 22 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: the nine hours we had on the plane on the 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: tournament going to Detroit. One year where there weren't unlimited movies, 24 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: there was one that we just watched over and over again. 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: What year was that, two thousand and seven or eight? 26 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: It's a Herm Edwards year. I remember Jackie Battle was 27 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: our RB one and Detroit beat us like forty nine 28 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: thousand one. 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 2: Calvin Johnson had like five touchdown. 30 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: Yeah he did. He was just there showing fades to him. 31 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: We got to the hotel, I don't know, one or 32 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: two o'clock. We were fresh as a days. He was great. 33 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 2: So yeah, Well, for those that don't know how our 34 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: travel schedule works, we normally leave right after the game, 35 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: no matter what, even if it's Sunday night football on 36 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: the East Coast. We get on the plane, we fly home, 37 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 2: get home late. Because of the weather in Kansas City, 38 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: we couldn't do it. And it was a first for 39 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 2: me where people would ask me like, do you think 40 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: you're coming home? And I'm like, yeah, we always do 41 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: no matter what, and couldn't come home because of the 42 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: conditions in Kansas City and stayed in extra night in Denver. 43 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 2: It was weird, but yeah, we made it back. Felt 44 00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: like we were there a long time. 45 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: I like what you said, we landed like we've been 46 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: gone like a week. It felt like, yeah, But now 47 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: we are in the bye week mode. But actually it's 48 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: kind of the playoff preparation mode. Being around Andy Reid 49 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: and this football team, there is no waste of time. 50 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: We try to tell you that all throughout the year, 51 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: including this week, so the players had some midweek time off, 52 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: but it's now skewing to get ready for any of 53 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: the four possibilities to play in the divisional playoff round. 54 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: But this episode, you know what we like to do 55 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: on defending the Kingdoms, kind of take you places which 56 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: you don't normally go. We're going to jump into some 57 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: of the fun facts about the experience of this twenty 58 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 1: twenty four Chiefs team going into January of twenty five 59 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and then some kind of increased energy 60 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: for this divisional playoff round in specific and just clue 61 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: you in why this game will be as exciting for 62 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: some guys on this roster as any game they've ever 63 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,399 Speaker 1: played in the National Football League, including at least one 64 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: guy that will be going into the Pro Football Hall 65 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: of Fame. All right, So with all that set up, 66 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: it's E squared equal question mark. You were great in mathematics. 67 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: Horrendous in mathematics. I like stats, like sports stats, but 68 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: anything else when it comes to math, I'm terrible at 69 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: I was okay. 70 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: And algebra I liked it, and I actually liked business 71 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: stats like I don't know whys, but geometry. 72 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 2: Rough rough, But we're trying to geometry. 73 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: Oh I actually passed on that one. Okay, yeah, I 74 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: had enough. So but we are looking to solve the 75 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: unknown variable here of E squared equals question mark. But 76 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: before we do that, you've had all the mathematical you've 77 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: checked all the algorithms, because we're going to jump into 78 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: our Defending the Kingdom spaceship and go around the world 79 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: and check in. 80 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: Let's do it. I have a ton today. We had 81 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: one of our most listened to episodes ever last week 82 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: just on YouTube aloone. We had like fifty thousand listens. 83 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: Thanks everybody for listening. 84 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, we'll stand by everything we said. 85 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: Even though it was a thirty eight, nothing lost to 86 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: thecos we'll stand there and do it again. We've seen 87 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: too many instances of that thing going the other way. 88 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, it's like coach reads that after 89 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: the game. The result is what it is. But it 90 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: was a great chance for players to go out there 91 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: and to play and show what they can do in 92 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: an individual sense. And who knows when the benefit of 93 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: that will happen. But like we talked about in last 94 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: week's episode, we didn't know what the benefits of that 95 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: Week eighteen game against the Chargers were going to be 96 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: until Chamari had to step in against the Bills a 97 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 2: few weeks later and almost a full year later, when 98 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 2: we saw Joe Tooney at left tackle and Mike Kellyando 99 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: at left guard. Who knows what's going to happen here 100 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: over the next couple of weeks or maybe even a 101 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: year or two down the road. But there are things 102 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 2: that we can take out of that game. Maybe we 103 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: don't know what they are just yet, but at some 104 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 2: point we'll look back at that game, I think and 105 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: say that was important, even though we lost thirty eight 106 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: to nothing. The only Mikol. 107 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: Romihio comes to mind because that one, I mean, the 108 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: twenty some plus yard catch was big, and then I 109 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: thought Jayden Hicks. For the most part, we talked about 110 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: him being high lighted more of a role, kind of 111 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: like the Justin Reid roll. I thought there's something that 112 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: could be extracted for that down. 113 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, there's individual performances that will help this 114 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: team down the road. Just a few bummers in terms 115 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: of this season long and years long stats that we 116 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: love to keep, like we allowed more than thirty points 117 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 2: for the first time since Super Bowl fifty seven. That 118 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 2: was thirty seven games ago. We only allowed thirty to 119 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 2: the Bills. So more than thirty points. It's been all 120 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: the way to the Chiefs and Eagles Super Bowl. Been 121 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: a very long time, and unfortunately, in the scope of history, 122 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 2: it'll be forgotten that the starters didn't play. I was 123 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 2: joking around with a few of my coworkers the other 124 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: day that someone might look back at this team and 125 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 2: hopefully we repeat and everything, and they'll look at the 126 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: Week eighteen game and go, what happened? What the world happened. 127 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: It's like, well, the starters didn't play. 128 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: But well, and I mean, so, you know, I do 129 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: an interview with Art Haynes. Art Haynes is on the 130 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, studio desk with the Network and Arts going 131 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: worst loss to the Broncos. Ever, I'm going art. If 132 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: you're going to put any historical context on that game, don't. 133 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: All right, just put an asterisk by it and then 134 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: throw it away. But yeah, you're right. 135 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: I thinks I'll smoke coming out. 136 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: Of your ears. You heard me. I was not happy, 137 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: But it is what it is. 138 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 2: It's football. You move on. Good for the Broncos. They're 139 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: going to make the playoffs here for the first time 140 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: in a very long time, and we are going to 141 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: the divisional round once again. How many years in a 142 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: row is it now? It's every year since twenty eighteen, right, yep, 143 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: for sure. Yeah, I mean that's something. 144 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: Again. 145 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: We talk about perspective a lot on this podcast. Can't 146 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: lose sight of it that going to the divisional round 147 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: this many years in a row is remarkable. And to 148 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: have this buy it's like winning a game this weekend. 149 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 2: It's like the Chiefs went out there and played somebody 150 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: this weekend and they won and we're moving on and 151 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 2: there were no injuries. I mean, it's really a great 152 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: situation to be in. So I just got to take 153 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: advantage of it. 154 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, lost in twenty seventeen in the wildcard to the Titans. Otherwise, 155 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen was a loss in the divisional playoff round 156 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: of the Steelers the hold Carl Cheffers not that I remember. 157 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: And then twenty fifteen won the wildcard game and lost 158 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: in the Divisional playoff round at New England. So you 159 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: can look at this thing all the way back to 160 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, only one year the Chiefs have not been 161 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: in the divisional playoff run. 162 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: I remember, back in twenty fifteen, my dad and I 163 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: when I graduated college. He wanted to surprise me with 164 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 2: a huge grand trip and he'd always wanted to go 165 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: to South America. So him and I went to South 166 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: America for a month, just bouncing around at little hotels 167 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 2: and everything for a month in South America. And it 168 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: was during that twenty fifteen playoff run, and I was 169 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: trying to find a place to watch the Chiefs and 170 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: Texans game in Buenos Aires, and I'm like, I'm not 171 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: going to miss this, Like I think the Chiefs might 172 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: win a playoff game for the first time that I 173 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: can remember, I'm not going to miss it. I found 174 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: the one place in Buenos Aires that was showing an 175 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 2: NFL game, because this is kind of before the NFL 176 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: exploded internationally and I found this one little place, small 177 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: huge did take just online, just scouring the internet. 178 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: Figuring out the NFL. 179 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have the NFL. And I went to it 180 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: and it was cool. It was kind of like a 181 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 2: little microcosm of what you normally see at international games, 182 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: where it was a bunch of people from different places, 183 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: all wearing jerseys different teams, sitting down to watch the 184 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: Chiefs and Texans play and they just want to talk 185 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: about American football and everything. And it was super cool. 186 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: And now to see how the league has grown overseas 187 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 2: in the years since, I mean, it's pretty awesome. But anyway, 188 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 2: I digress. 189 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: We have a glorious thirty to I think win.

And even though we're going to talk about 197 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 2: on our podcast, all the experience our guys having the playoffs, 198 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 2: all these wins that they've had. You never take them 199 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: for granted because you never know when it's going to end. 200 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: You'll and you'll never forget it because people are just 201 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: ripping off porkid Portuguese.

Caitlyn's cancer 406 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 2: is back and she just started chemo a few weeks ago, actually, 407 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 2: the day before our game against the Texans. Caitlin is 408 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: a huge Chiefs fan. Caitlyn. We're thinking of you, We're 409 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 2: rooting for you. Sorry this happened, but hopefully the Chiefs 410 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 2: bring along some good vibes and some encouragement here over 411 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: the next few weeks. But I just wanted to say 412 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 2: hi to you, and we're thinking of you. 413 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. Prayers up, and also prayers for the folks in California. 414 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: These fires are brutal. You know, coaches from LA, we 415 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: both have a lot of folks from your sister lives 416 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: out there. 417 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 2: I was texting her right before our episode. Luckily it's 418 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 2: not necessarily threatening exactly where she lives, but she sent 419 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: me some photos. It's crazy. Have you seen the aerial photos. 420 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's heartbreaking. And anyway, prayers up, yeah 421 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: for our brothers and sisters in socow. Well, let's jump 422 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: into a little bit of football, because E squared equals 423 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 1: question mark, and the first E is experience. I think 424 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: people have lost track of how experienced and positive playoff 425 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: experience the twenty twenty four Chiefs will take in to 426 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: next week's divisional playoff game. Let me start this way. 427 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: People forget last year the first back to back winner 428 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: in nine and forty four days. Put that on the 429 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: play by play, but it was the youngest team of 430 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,440 Speaker 1: any of the nine back to back Super Bowl champions 431 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: in history to win back to back titles, the youngest team, 432 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: So that leads in to the playoff experience, the positive 433 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 1: play off experience this roster has. I'll let you dig 434 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: in a little bit of the offense. I'll give you 435 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: some astounding numbers of the defense. But playoff experience we 436 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: know isn't the end all be all, but man is 437 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: it helpful. And some of these got much of this team. 438 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 1: Most of this team has had playoffs success that thousands 439 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: of NFL players, thousands of good NFL players, never got 440 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: to taste at all. And I'm reminded by a guy 441 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: like Tony Gonzalez one playoff win in seventeen seasons. Chris Carter, 442 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: I'm not sure had one, but anyway, there's just but 443 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: this group is amazing. So I'll let you start offensively, 444 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: because there's some really cool numbers here. The first the 445 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: first piece of the E squared here is experience and 446 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 1: what's the chiefs for taking in a next week's game? 447 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I just add how remarkable it is that 448 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 2: how often you have a team that is young that 449 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 2: wins the Super Bowl. Normally you have a team like 450 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 2: the twenty fifteen Broncos or the twenty twenty one Rams, 451 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: where you just go all in. You bring in a 452 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 2: bunch of veterans players maybe playing their last couple of seasons. 453 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 2: In the Broncos case, Peyton mannings last year, and you 454 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl and it's great. But then it's 455 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 2: difficult because after that the roster kind of craters. And 456 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: we've seen that with the Broncos. I mean them winning 457 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: that game against US last week and making the playoffs 458 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 2: was magnificant because, as you told me, it was the 459 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: longest streak for any Super Bowl champion of not making 460 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: the playoffs in NFL history. That kind of happens sometimes. 461 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: With the Chiefs being as young as they've been over 462 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 2: this championship run and being able to sustain it and 463 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 2: go after the Super Bowl every single year because your 464 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: players are young and your roster is young and still 465 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: hungry is pretty remarkable. So can't lose sight of that. 466 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: But this is interesting. 467 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: Let me tag that again. Even if the Chiefs get 468 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl, no team this won back to 469 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: back has ever gone to a chancefer a three pen 470 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,160 Speaker 1: even made the Super Bowl. The closest the ninety San 471 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine Ers had lost fifteen to thirteen to 472 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: the Giants in the NFC Championship Game. Other than that, 473 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: none of the back to backs even made it to 474 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: the championship game. And your point's really good because the 475 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: sixties Packers, Lombardi goes on, he moves on, they get obliterated. Right, 476 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: we can sit there and look, now, the seventies Steelers 477 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: are different. They won two year off one two. But 478 00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 1: the nineties Cowboys, we could go back through all these 479 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: back to backs and they hit a wall. Teams to old, 480 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: coach leaves, regime changes, and they blow up. So what 481 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: we're living here is really. 482 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,959 Speaker 2: Unique and it's a testament to Brett Veach Amen because 483 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: there are how many players from the twenty nineteen Super 484 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: Bowl are still on this team? 485 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: Would we say eight seven? 486 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: Small number, and they're impact players, but you have to 487 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 2: refill the roster with young talent. And the league is 488 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: designed in such a way where teams that win are 489 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 2: not supposed to win consistently because if you win the 490 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, you have the last pick in the first 491 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 2: round of the draft. You're probably paying players a lot 492 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 2: of money, so you don't have a lot of salary 493 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: cap space. We talk about this on DTK all the 494 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 2: time that the league is designed for parody and the 495 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 2: Chiefs are the antithesis of parody because we win every 496 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 2: single year and hopefully trying to win a third straight 497 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. I'll get to the offense. Sorry I'm rambling here, 498 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,919 Speaker 2: but here's a kind of a cool note from Taylor 499 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: Wit on Twitter. Taylor does some really good stuff. He 500 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: calculated all of this. The Chief's roster has combined for 501 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: fifteen nine and sixty nine playoff snaps, easily the most 502 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 2: of any TA in the field this year, more than 503 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 2: six thousand ahead of second place Buffalo and the gap 504 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 2: between the Chiefs and Buffalo is wider than the gap 505 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: between Buffalo and thirteenth place Green Bay. Almost every player 506 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: on this roster has played or started a playoff game. 507 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: That experience is important because when the lights are bright 508 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 2: and things are a little bit faster and it's winner 509 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: go home, just a little bit of a different game, 510 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 2: and our guys have experienced with it, none more than 511 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, who has eighteen career playoff starts under his belt. 512 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 2: It's tied with Dan Marino and Drew Brees for the 513 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 2: ninth most in NFL history. He's twenty nine years old. 514 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 2: For context, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, C J. Stroud, Justin Herbert, 515 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 2: and Bo Nicks, who's of course a rookie, have started 516 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 2: nineteen playoff games combined in their careers. Russell Wilson, to 517 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: his credit, has started sixteen. But I mean Mahomes having 518 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 2: eighteen career playoff starts is crazy. He fifteen career playoff 519 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: wins at quarterback as a starting quarterback. That's third most 520 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 2: in NFL history. Tom Brady has thirty five, Joe Montana 521 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: has sixteen, Patrick has fifteen. So if we can win 522 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 2: this divisional round, matchup, Patrick will tie Joe Montana for 523 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 2: the most playoff wins by starting quarterback of all time. 524 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: And then Travis Kelce already has the most catches in 525 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 2: NFL postseason history, and he's three hundred and forty two 526 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 2: yards behind Jerry Rice for most all time and three 527 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 2: touchdowns behind Rice for most all time. So this playoff 528 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: run for more reasons than one, could be historic, could 529 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 2: be legendary, could be epic, And I mean, I'm so 530 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: glad that we have these guys on our side. We've experienced, 531 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 2: we've experienced in big games, and Patrick Mahomes, no one 532 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 2: has ever done this before. I know, Tom Brady has 533 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: thirty five wins. He played a long time, got a 534 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: lot of playoff wins, a lot of Super Bowl wins. 535 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 2: But to start a career like this is crazy. And 536 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 2: as we'll talk about later, no one's hungrier for this 537 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: one than Patrick. 538 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: No, and kels another one. He has one hundred and 539 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: sixty five playoff rerecsceptions. That's the most an NFL history 540 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: of any pass catcher. So, and the ones that you 541 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: gave are past catchers were not just tight ends. This 542 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: includes Jerry Rice and everybody else that played in the postseason. 543 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: What is crazy The offensive skill guys I'll throw in 544 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: who are on this roster for the most part, seventy 545 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: five and thirteen. The offensive line gets your attention because 546 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: the offensive line collectively, the eleven humans on this roster 547 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: right now in the playoffs are forty four and six 548 00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Now, those six losses include Joe Tooney's 549 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: three that he had before he got here, okay, and 550 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: then one actually from Marlin two below two when he 551 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: was with the Eagles when you look at it, and 552 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 1: then one from Juwan Taylor when he was with the 553 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars. You're sifting these guys have like two playoff 554 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: losses as. 555 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 2: A Chief, and that Juwan's was to us, right, Yeah, 556 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 2: so many of these are yeah yeah, so yeah. 557 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: It's a good point because it gets really fun on 558 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: the defensive side. So let's transition to the defense. So 559 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: you get an idea playoff experience in many ways unprecedented 560 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: with the Kansas City Chiefs, at least this young of 561 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: a roster. Okay. Now, Defensively, the dbs collectively, of the 562 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: ninetyb's that are currently on the roster, they are thirty 563 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 1: nine and two in the playoffs. Oh my gosh, the 564 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: only two losses are to Justin Reid, and those two 565 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: are with the Houston Texans. One does one does, So 566 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: that gives you an idea of just the DBS. So 567 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: we get into more here, but again, playoff experience, winning 568 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 1: playoff experience. Young guys with winning playoff experience in many 569 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: ways is unprecedented NFL history. 570 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: And not to belabor the perspective point, but I love 571 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 2: talking to guys like Justin and to Drew Trankwell who 572 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 2: have had playoff defeats, devastating playoff defeats, and you could 573 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 2: see it in their eye how much it means to 574 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 2: them to be a part of this, to be a 575 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 2: part of the winning and to be a contributor to 576 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 2: the winning. And Justin such a champion of that, like 577 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 2: Justin knows how it feels to lose a playoff game, 578 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,200 Speaker 2: to lose a playoff game that you led by a lot, 579 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 2: and he knows how hard it is to get to 580 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 2: that moment. And that's why to have a player like 581 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 2: that leading our defense, and the same thing with Drew, 582 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: one of the leaders in the linebacker room, to have 583 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 2: that experience elsewhere and to come here with that perspective 584 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: and to be like, I'm a part of this. I'm 585 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: going to find a way to win this game. It's 586 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 2: just really cool and it helps me realize that it's 587 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 2: not like this everywhere, and I think we all need 588 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,239 Speaker 2: to remember that, and that these guys that come from 589 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: other teams, they know that, and they are the happiest 590 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: guys in the world. To be a part of this winning, 591 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 2: it's pretty cool. 592 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: I've told the Carlos Dunlap story many times. He had 593 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: won twelve years and not won a playoff game, and 594 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: we won that game in twenty two in the divisional round. 595 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: And I found him first after we were done with 596 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: Chase Rewind. I put a B line to find that dude. 597 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 1: I knew what it meant to him because we talk 598 00:26:55,480 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: about that glorious game you watched in Argentina. Argentina years 599 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,919 Speaker 1: to go without a playoff win. But here's more so, 600 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: the linebackers when you look at it, are twenty one 601 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 1: and three, and two of those three with other teams. 602 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: Bolts got the only one where he lost to Cincinnati. 603 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: The other two are Tranquils. You got one there and 604 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: then Joshua ushe lost one with New England to Buffalo. Yeah, 605 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: and then on the defensive line, there's seventy six and nineteen, 606 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: but that includes Chris Jones who's fourteen and five and 607 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: some of those he's been with us now, going way 608 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: back to twenty sixteen. So the sixteen and seventeen loss 609 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: he had and the eighteen loss in New England that 610 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: we talked about, but now we're going to transition all 611 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: the experience. That's the first part of East Squared equals 612 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,880 Speaker 1: question Mark as we try to solve the unknown variable 613 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: next week and trying to win the divisional playoff game. 614 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: And you kind of open the door to this because 615 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: of what this means to players who have been in 616 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: the league a while, and it's the Carlos Dunlap feeling. 617 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,360 Speaker 1: And again, personally, I felt the same thing waiting twenty 618 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: one years for a playoff win. Consider DeAndre Hopkins. DeAndre 619 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: Hopkins will go into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 620 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: This is his thirteenth season in the NFL. He has 621 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: two playoff wins, both in the wildcard round. Let's start there. 622 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins has never won in the divisional playoff round. Never. 623 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: His last playoff game was in twenty nineteen DeAndre Hopkins, 624 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: and he lost the same one we referred to Justin 625 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: Reid fifty one to thirty one to the Kansas City Chiefs. 626 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 1: After leading that game twenty four to seven. I'm going 627 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: to tell you there's no one more excited probably than 628 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins to win this game next week. 629 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: One thing that stood out to me about Patrick Mahomes 630 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 2: over the years and how it relates to DeAndre. It 631 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 2: might be easy to look at it from the outside 632 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 2: and to say, all right, Mahomes has won fifteen playoff games, 633 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: He's won three Super Bowls. He's accomplished everything there is 634 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: to accomplish as an NFL quarterback. Would he get complacent? 635 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 2: And what's so interesting about Patrick because if you listen 636 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 2: to him talk about this subject, when he talks about it, 637 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 2: he doesn't talk about himself. He talks about his teammates. 638 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 2: And while yes, the core of the Chiefs has been 639 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: around for all this playoff success, this particular team, this 640 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 2: team of fifty three guys and the practice squad will 641 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 2: never be completely together ever again. It's that case for 642 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: every single year that yeah, the names, the big names, 643 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 2: the playmakers, maybe those guys are all together again. But 644 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: the entire team changes every single year, and for a 645 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: guy like Mahomes, who is in the locker room with 646 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 2: these guys every single day, you spend more time with 647 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 2: your teammates than you do with your family. You don't 648 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: get complacent because you want to win it for the 649 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: guys that haven't won it yet. You want to win 650 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: it for the guys that might not be part of 651 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: this team next year. And it has really struck me 652 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: when he said this a couple of years ago for 653 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 2: the first time, and he's kind of reiterated it over 654 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 2: the years that he wants to be able to look 655 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: back at his career and be like, every single year, 656 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 2: I gave my absolute best for the guys around me, 657 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: and for Patrick, He's going to give us absolute Yeah, 658 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 2: for himself and for his legacy, and for the Chiefs 659 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 2: of course, but also for DeAndre Hopkins and for Charles 660 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 2: the men who and for guys that maybe haven't won 661 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 2: a lot in their careers, have been really good players 662 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: but haven't been on the field to win a Super Bowl. 663 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 2: And Charles, of course, at the torn acl last year, 664 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: couldn't go and win the Super Bowl on the field. 665 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 2: So that's always struck me about Patrick his dedication, his 666 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 2: commitment to his teammates and wanting to be the best 667 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: that he is for his teammates that maybe have been 668 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: really successful but haven't reached the mountain top. That's cool 669 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 2: that you can't teach that, like, that's just who he 670 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 2: is and we have that in our locker room. Kelsey's 671 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: the same way, and I think that's a big reason 672 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: why this team has been so successful over the years 673 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 2: and been able to sustain it. It's because they want 674 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: to do it for each other. 675 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: It's cool you bring up a mena who. It reminds 676 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: me of the one Thornhill's story now ones with the 677 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, but towards ACL at the end of the 678 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: regular season in the run to Super Bowl fifty four 679 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. I remember after that game, we're 680 00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: all under U four X state and he's over in 681 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: his locker he's he's happy for everybody, but he knows 682 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: he wasn't part of it a minute, and he was. 683 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 1: He was. He was, but a mena who who played 684 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: so good in the playoffs last year, fueled by that 685 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: Week eighteen when over the Chargers does the same thing. 686 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: Rex's knee cannot play in Super Bowl fifty eight. He 687 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: is hungry to do this and get it done and 688 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: be a part of being a champion, a set apart champion. 689 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 1: We'll close out this way. There's two other guys that 690 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: come to mind in this discussion about energy, because you 691 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: can imagine DeAndre Hopkins, who plays so great, so effective, 692 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: he's changed our season. We'll go into some extra energy 693 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: to this Divisional playoff round. Kareem Hunt. Kareem Hunt was 694 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: here in seventeen and steamrolling in eighteen and then had 695 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: the incident where he was dismissed from the team. But 696 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: now he's back. He's getting a chance that less than 697 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: two percent of players in the NFL would get a shot. 698 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 1: He missed on all the fun at Super Bowl fifty four, 699 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: fifty seven, and fifty eight. He didn't lament about it. 700 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: He told me personally that he was rejoicing for everyone. 701 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: But now Kareem gets a shot. He's won one playoff game, 702 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 1: a wild card game. Kareem Hunt has never won in 703 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: the divisional playoff round. He lost to US in the 704 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: twenty two to seventeen game in the twenty twenty two season, 705 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: the Chad Henny Game, but the point is here that 706 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt will be excited and have energy for this game. 707 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: And then finally, Hollywood Brown. Hollywood Brown has one playoff win. 708 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: He has never won in the divisional playoff round. That 709 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: was a wild card win in twenty twenty one. Those 710 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: three guys in specific throwing DJ humphreyes he's only played 711 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: one playoff game and lost. None of those guys have 712 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: won in the divisional playoff round. They are the second 713 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: part of the experience plus energy, the East squared equals 714 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: the unknown variable. But I'm excited for those guys, and 715 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: if the Chiefs win the game next week, whomever they play, 716 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: I will find those guys first because I know what's 717 00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 1: going to mean to them. 718 00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 2: And he's not just saying that. I remember when you 719 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: told me that before the twenty two divisional round game 720 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 2: against the Jags. You're like, I'm going to find Carlos 721 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 2: done Lap, I'm going to find him. And he did. 722 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,719 Speaker 2: He did, and that was really cool to see all 723 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: three of those never teers. 724 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: There were tiers and A Losko's we're not done. I 725 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: got no, we're not, and we weren't. But you never 726 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: forget this moment. Los and you never forget it. It's 727 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: a wildcard game that the Kingdom has forgot about in 728 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: thirty to nothing and you're watching in Buenos Service, Argentina. 729 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. 730 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 2: How cool that was for Carlos. I remember him before 731 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: the season at training camp saying that he had three goals. 732 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 2: He came to Kansas City for three reasons, wanted to 733 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 2: get to his hundredth career sackt it, did that, win 734 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 2: a playoff game, did that, And when the Super Bowl 735 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 2: did that, It's like, oh yeah, do those things? Pretty cool? 736 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 2: The bingo word today is perspective. I'm going to say 737 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 2: perspective again for those three players that you just mentioned 738 00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 2: and Hunt, Hollywood and Humphrees, because all three of those 739 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: guys had a lot of success and were really good 740 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 2: and then had it taken away from them. So Kareem 741 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 2: situation you outlined, we all know about that figured to 742 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: be a big part of this offense this year, and 743 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 2: then first snap of the preseason it's taken away. Real 744 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 2: doubt if he's going to be able to play for 745 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,400 Speaker 2: the Chiefs at all this season. He works like crazy 746 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 2: through his rehab, makes it back and plays, and I mean, 747 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 2: we're super excited about Hollywood. I think he changes the 748 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 2: whole offense, but he knows what it's like to have 749 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 2: that taken away from him. And same for Humphreys. Humphrey's 750 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 2: playing at a very high level throughout his career, tears 751 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: his acl it's taken away from him. Well, those three 752 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 2: guys know what it's like to have a lot of 753 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: success then all of a sudden it's taken away, and 754 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 2: they're not going to waste this opportunity. They're all healthy, 755 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,879 Speaker 2: they're all ready to go. They're hungry for this moment 756 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 2: because they know how hard it is to get to 757 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: this point and that it can be taken away at 758 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 2: any moment, and they're not going to waste it. And 759 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 2: that's why this team, for so many reasons, is geared 760 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 2: up for hopefully a championship run. But it's full of 761 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: players like that that maybe they weren't around for the 762 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,359 Speaker 2: first three Super Bowls. They're getting their super Bowl this year. 763 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: That's their mentality and that's why this team is so special. 764 00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 2: One of the many reasons. 765 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: There's a jillion gigs of data of names that didn't 766 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: get that second chance and these guys got it. So 767 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: we try to solve the equation, but we'll go in 768 00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: knowing E squared experience unusual experience plus energy equals. We'll 769 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: see if we can solve the variable.
