Why an interesting game we have coming 16 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: up this week is the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. 17 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: And I know you probably knew this cat Barbershop, but 18 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: his name was Lucius Appuls. I think Apu l eis 19 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: Lucius Appulus because in one fifty a d in ancient Rome, 20 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: He's the one that came up with the phrase familiarity 21 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: breeds contempt. Oh. I like that, meaning if you know somebody, 22 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: you don't have as much respect as you should have. 23 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: This week with the Chiefs playing the Chicago Bears, I'm 24 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: going to switch it up. I think it's familiarity breeds 25 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: respect because we got a lot of ties with the 26 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears and the Kansas City Chiefs. We're gonna get 27 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: into that a little bit, but it does with Matt 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: Nagee taken over for Chicago, and I remember when he left, 29 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: and we had long talks prior to that time because 30 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: is he going to the Colts? Is he going to 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: the Bears? Where is he going? But Matt Nagee now 32 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Chicago Bears. But it brings 33 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: up in our first quarter of our Defending the Kingdom podcast. Honestly, 34 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: one of the more underrated stories I think in the NFL, 35 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: and that is Andy Reid's influence on the entire league. 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: Think of these franchises that are under his direct discipleship, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Chicago, Baltimore, Indianapolis, 37 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: the New York Giants with coach Shermer, all trying to 38 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 1: replicate what's happened in Kansas City over the better part 39 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: of seven seasons. So here we are Barbershop. Andy reads 40 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: influence on the entire National Football League. Yeah, you just 41 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: read it off. Sixteens and five out of six are 42 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: still in playoff contention. Sixteen week sixteen of a season, 43 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: and five out of six teams the coach has some 44 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: level of influence. One are still in the hunt, if 45 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: not already guaranteed the first the second set. That's an 46 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: amazing detriment. That's an amazing quality that coach has of 47 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: rubbing off one guys early in their career, letting them 48 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: know how important it is that everybody gets in front 49 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: of the media. Everybody learns multiple positions. He expects guys 50 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: to transcend from being a position coach to a coordinator, 51 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: from a coordinator to a head coach. That's the normal 52 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: track he sees guys coming into the league and expecting 53 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: those type things. I remember a years ago when I 54 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: was at Philly, we had a number of coaches that 55 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: would would go from one position to another, especially in 56 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: coach ends of being a lineback coach, offensive line coach 57 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: ends up being a defensive coach, d back coach coaches 58 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: and linebackers. It wasn't that you wasn't good at your position, 59 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: but he expected guys to want at some point to 60 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: be a coordinator. And to be a coordinator you had 61 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: to learn all levels of the defense, all positions of 62 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: the offense or special teams, and then at some point 63 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: in time be ready to be a head coach. He 64 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: does a great job of getting guys ready for that, 65 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: as he does here in Kansas City, by making all 66 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: the coordinators answer questions from the media, answered some of 67 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: the tough questions, and that you know, high behind the 68 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: head coach here. When Nags got the Chicago job, the 69 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: Chicago media had me on several different locations and they said, 70 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: what about this guy? I said, honestly, I think because 71 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: Naggs is wired the same way as Coach Read, he 72 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: will start to transform your entire franchise within a couple 73 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: of days. It's what Andy Reid did here. Now you 74 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: got the great perspective shop because you didn't start with 75 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: Coach Read. You didn't start with him, You started with 76 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: other folks when you're in Washington, but you went to 77 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: coach Read eventually, and that gives you perspective because if 78 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: all you have been around coach Read, I think you 79 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 1: can get spoiled here a little bit because to me, 80 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: the biggest attribute and I think Naggs would agree with 81 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: me in what Nags learned from Coach is Naggs gets 82 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: the human spirit. He co Coach Read can set here 83 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: in X and o's with anybody. But he understands how 84 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: to motivate, how to discipline, how to put people in 85 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: position you've already alluded to it to train them. He 86 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: doesn't stand in the way of somebody's progress, but he 87 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 1: also knows that's part of feeding into somebody's shoal and 88 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: getting the most out of it. Yeah, and part of 89 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: like when you look at athletes coming out of college, 90 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: they're young men playing a boys game, playing But he realized, like, hey, 91 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: this is this is your career, this is what you're 92 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: passionate about. If you do it the right way. UM, 93 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: you do what you're told, be accountable, UM, treated like 94 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: a treat a job like a man like you care 95 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: about it, and really put you know your faith in 96 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: UM and your family and football and the proper priorities. 97 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: We can all be very successful. You can be you 98 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: can you can be an all All Pro player, you 99 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: can be a great asset to this team. But he 100 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: also realizes some guys they need to be cut in 101 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: order to grow. And that's tough for some coaches to realize. 102 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: Like they see a talent and they want that talent 103 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: to work on their team so bad they'll hang on 104 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: to them too long. They want they'll let the guy 105 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: wrought on their team before another guy another team can 106 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: benefit from them. Coach has never been that way. He 107 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: understands the necessity to motivate some guys and sometimes he 108 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: has to realize he's not the person that can motivate him. 109 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: It takes being jobless. Sometimes it takes being without a home, 110 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: without a job, without a check for some guys to 111 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: realize how important football is to him and to make 112 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 1: that a priority, and then for them to take the 113 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: steps needed to keep progressing and trending the right way 114 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: as a football player. And if there's one person that 115 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: comes to mind with that, it's it's Marcus Peters. Marcus 116 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: Peters is a better football player now today because Andy 117 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: Reid had the foresight to realize at that point here 118 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: in Kansas City, there are some things going on where 119 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: he didn't take football seriously enough. Same thing for Cream 120 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: Hunt and a number of players that you can go 121 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: down line that are better football players now they've left 122 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: this organization. But in that case, in those cases, I 123 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: saw a coachree give a lot of latitude. He gave 124 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: them all kinds of opportunities and chances or he's seen 125 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: I've seen it with a lot of different players in 126 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: seven years. But he seems to know how to motivate. 127 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: The other thing is, and I see this with Nags 128 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: too when he was the offensive coordinator co offensive here 129 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Keep in mind, he along with Mike 130 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: Kafka and others, were a big part of Patrick mahomes 131 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: apprenticeship season definitely when he said there and you know 132 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: was waiting as the backup basically learning under Alex Smith 133 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: and others. But Nags is a big part of that development. 134 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: But being secure and who you are as a coach 135 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: and as a person. When I've seen errors made in 136 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: this league, it has been because of insecurity. I'm gonna 137 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: I call it the jellyfish syndrome. I'm gonna put out 138 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: ink blots like I'm really big bag and tough and 139 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: really inside I'm insecure. Coach read is so secure, he's 140 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: not gonna block guys from getting jobs. But I've seen 141 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: that now emanate from these other disciples I saw in 142 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, I see it in Matt Nagge. But being 143 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: secure and who you are as a coach, to me 144 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: lends itself if coming across as real to your players 145 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: in your locker room. Yeah, you understand. It's your staff. 146 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: You want it, definitely, you want to keep the best 147 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: assistant coaches around Joe players as possible. But you also 148 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: realize that there there are guys that are transcending um 149 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: being in your locker room, these guys that deserve the 150 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: opportunities because they've given you so much. They've dedicated so 151 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: much sacrifice, so much to your organization that as a coach, 152 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: it does you just as much joy seeing them be 153 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: successful other places. And by them guys leaving it allows 154 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: other guys to rise up, step up to the plate, 155 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: and grow, whether it's the players in the locker room 156 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: or the coaches coaching the players. Andy has done a 157 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: great job of molding and setting a pattern and a 158 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: and in a way for guys to matriculate up upstream 159 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: um and and and work on their resumes and work 160 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: on their UM their abilities to UM continue to seek 161 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: UM head coaching jobs and coordinator jobs. But while they're here, 162 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: they're they're still demanded UM to give their best. And 163 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: that's one thing I think when you talk about other 164 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: teams I've been a part of UM, I can, I can. 165 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,439 Speaker 1: I can definitely say when I got drafted and I 166 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: and I went to the Washington Redskins, that was not 167 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: available in the building the building was a offensive minded coach. 168 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm coach nor Turner bless his soul is a great 169 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: offensive mind. But when it comes to being a head 170 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: coach and holding everybody in the building accountable, creating a 171 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: path and a vision for everybody to follow, I don't 172 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: think he possessed that ability for me as a player, 173 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: and so I had to find it elsewhere, And sometimes 174 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: you found it in other players. And as you know, 175 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: sometimes you who you mentor who you follow is not 176 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: always the best person to follow when it comes to 177 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: somebody these vets hang out all night, party all night, 178 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: fly to Vegas on Friday and back on Saturday. Those 179 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: type of adventures make the season sometimes a negative more 180 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: than a positive. But Coachry not only securing who he 181 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: is but willing to teach as well. All Right, this 182 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be the tenth different assistant he has gone against. 183 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: He is eleven and six. You can go right down 184 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: the line, Dud Peterson, Sean McDermott, Ton Bulls, Pat Shermer's 185 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: son is here now is a practice squad quarterback Run 186 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: Rivera recently let go in Carolina, Leslie Frazier, Steve Spagnolo, 187 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: Brad Childress, who's on Naggie staff. And John Harbaugh, the 188 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: coach of the Baltimore Ravens, who's the flavor of the 189 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: month right now in the league anyway, coaches eleven and 190 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: six against his old disciples, and i'd say old his disciples, 191 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: and he's six and two when he plays them on 192 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: a second time. But very interesting as we go down 193 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: to the second quarter of this Defending the Kingdom podcast, 194 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: which is dueling with disciples. Familiarity breeds respect, not what 195 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: that dude said in Rome one hundred and fifty a 196 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 1: d This is twenty nineteen, and the second part has 197 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: to deal specifically with this game Chiefs against the Bears. 198 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: Familiarity breeds respect and going up against Naggie, not only 199 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: Naggie but Brad Childress, Childress's son Kyle, who worked for 200 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: coach for a while. Mark da Leone was a linebacker coach. 201 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 1: Here you're in camp. I think with him Broccolivo is 202 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: helping special teams in Dave Tobe's son are the chief 203 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: special team's coach is on the Chicago Bears staff. How 204 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: much influence can you have axes and o's and going, oh, 205 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: I know what coach is thinking here because she's gonna 206 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: move rook tonight three. I think it's gonna be interesting, 207 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: definitely for the media. There's gonna be a lot of 208 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: stories written about it. But in the realistic viewpoint of it, 209 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: when you look at it from like a bird's eye 210 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: of view, our defense is night and day from what 211 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: it was last year. So there's no carry over the 212 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: coach they alone would have like knowing Bob Sutton's defense, 213 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 1: Coach nags his years spent here practicing against Bob Sutton's defense, 214 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: all that is out the window. And so unless you 215 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: actually have some somebody that was a part of the 216 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: staff when UM coach Magnola was with Philadelphia or the 217 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: Giant staff that knows part of his defense, UM, they 218 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 1: have the same advantage as anybody else, they would just 219 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: have to watch film try to figure out as much 220 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,079 Speaker 1: as they can through film work, film study. Defensively, you 221 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: would think the Bears might have some some familiarity after 222 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: going against their own teams, offensive sets and formations in 223 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: the way Nags would try to carry over, you know, 224 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: the majority of this offensive philosophy to the Bears. But 225 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: the one thing that's different about the Bears offense than 226 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: our offense is the MVP. It's Pat Mahomes. You can't 227 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,239 Speaker 1: run everything that Coach Reid does here at another organizations 228 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: unless you have that piece of the puzzle. That's a 229 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: very that's a very unique piece of the puzzle. UM 230 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: that makes things go. That's the call that makes things 231 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: go here in Kansas City. UM, even though we were 232 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 1: trying to we made it through a few games with 233 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: Matt Moore under that the the the masterpiece to the 234 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: missing link sometimes in our offense is UM the ability 235 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: to Pat Mahomes and like he says, spin it no 236 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: matter what EB, I can spend it in all conditions. 237 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: We saw that before the snow game versus Denver, him 238 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: talking to eb letting them know, hey, man, I can 239 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: spin this thing. No matter what he man, I think 240 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: I love playing in the snow a little more tack 241 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: on the ball. Um. Okay, sure you mentioned that. Here's 242 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky, the Bears quarterback that snags this guy. So 243 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: Nagg's apprentice help app just Mahomes for that seventeen season, 244 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 1: leaves to go to Chicago, and now he has the 245 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: quarterback who was selected in the draft eight picks before Mahomes. 246 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: So it's a really interesting situation for Nags. However, people 247 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: have kind of been on Trubisky. As I've jumped in 248 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: and studied him this week, I'm going, what's wrong with him? 249 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: He's got seventeen touchdowns ton ten picks. Okay, there's been 250 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: some inconsistency, but the dude's been on fire pretty much 251 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: here for the last month of the season, and he 252 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: can run the ball. I talk with Spags earlier this week. 253 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: He has forty runs and some of those are big 254 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: twenty three yard touchdown. Go back and look at his 255 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: run against the Cowboys twenty seven. Twenty seven of those 256 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: forty runs have been at Soldier Field. So now I 257 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: mean Trubisky and what he brings to this game. Familiarity 258 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: breeds respect. I think there's some respect level and the 259 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs have it that the national media doesn't necessarily have 260 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: for Mitch Trubisky. Yeah ness with me to be eating 261 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: them up. I think it's being the number one pick. 262 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: All those things come in the foe as high as 263 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: he was drafted. Is he the be student compared to 264 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: the age? I think this. He's been put into some 265 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: situations in ball games where everything was on his shoulders, 266 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: and there was times last year where he rose to 267 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 1: the occasion and you saw mc naggie talking to him 268 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: on the sideline like, I want you to go out 269 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: and win this game. I want you to this is 270 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: your game to win. He put it on a platter 271 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: for him to rise up and win those games. And 272 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: unfortunately this season, in those same situations, it's been a turnover, 273 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: it's been a sack, incomplete pass drop ball, the defense 274 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: rises up making a play. Those things just hasn't happened 275 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: organically as much. He hasn't been been victorious and been 276 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: an overcoming achiever late in the game, late in the dawns, 277 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: right before the half as much as he has a 278 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: year ago. And when you look at it at home, 279 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: I think he's been a different quarterback. I think he's 280 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: been actually very good at home where he's familiar, using 281 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: his legs to create some first downs, some touchdowns, create 282 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: some positive plays, get some momentum, and their defense actually 283 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: plays a lot better at home. And so collectively as 284 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: a unit, the Bears team, they're different beasts at Soldier 285 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: Field at at Chicago than they are on the road. 286 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, the Kansas City Chiefs, we're 287 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: taking them seriously, the organizations taking them seriously. It doesn't 288 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: matter what the media says. This Bears team has no 289 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: give in them. They're not gonna give up on the season. Um, 290 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: They're not gonna give up on their head coach. They 291 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 1: no Coach Naggi has a lot invested in this game. 292 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: A lot of their coaching staffs want to prove something 293 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: to Kansas City. So we got to go in there 294 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: and take care of business. And it takes a focus 295 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: in pursuit of passion of excellence to go in there 296 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: and get it done. Yeah, I agree totally. And that's 297 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: why the theme of this Defending the Kingdom podcast is 298 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 1: familiarity breeds respects and not contempt and dueling with the 299 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: Shiples here because this is a very intriguing game of 300 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: this thing, going back and forth for at halftime of 301 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: this to Fending the Kingdom podcast, a shout out to 302 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: all of you men. This has grown. We just feel 303 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: the growth throughout the Kingdom and all around the world 304 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: that have listened to these podcasts. We've got a big 305 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: group in Virginia and Maryland and I mean the East 306 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: Coast is loving this. But this is you know what 307 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: to do at halftime twelve minute a halftime in the NFL, 308 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: on this podcast, you get a second. That's it. So 309 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: take a breath, go to the restroom, get a bit 310 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: of orange, and there it is. Now we go to 311 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: the second half, so people know how this works. So 312 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: we go to the third quarter. And this is part 313 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 1: of Nags and Coach Read and to me, one of 314 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: the biggest attributes of Coach Read. I mentioned his security 315 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: and who he is and how he kind of breeds 316 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: through that breeds that through the entire organization. But the 317 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: third quarter I'm putting it on as unicorns on Thunderclouds. 318 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: By the way, this one, this podcast brought you by 319 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: three sixty Vodka, the official bodka the Kyans City Chiefs. 320 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: Unicorns on th clouds. Okay, it's December. I'm losing my mind. 321 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: Here's the point. Coach Read could be a CEO of 322 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: any major company I think in the country. Naggs also 323 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 1: has that kind of acumen. I picked that up from 324 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: him being around him, like he is sharp, bright. And 325 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: here's the biggest issue is dealing with adversity every year. 326 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: The coach has been here in Kansas City since thirteen. 327 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: I can bring up a point. I call him flashpoints, 328 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: and some flashpoints are firecrackers. Other ones are dynamite where 329 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: they can just take your season and completely wreck it. 330 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 1: Coach reads ability to deal with adversity has been I 331 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: think the most underrated part of him being here and 332 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: dealing and navigating the Chiefs through flashpoints. Let's take this year. 333 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: We're closing in on two hundred and thirty quarters lost 334 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,120 Speaker 1: by our starters since the beginning of the year to injury, 335 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: and here the Chiefs are ten and four. Coach's ability 336 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: to keep the ship in the water. And now Nags 337 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: is in that same spot barbershop. He didn't think he's 338 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: gonna be seven and seven. The anticipation was remember the 339 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: double strike field goal by Cody Parkey last year, they're 340 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: right there. What do we have? What we shed off fall? 341 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: You got to climb kill him in jar or every 342 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: year you don't go back to the double strength kick show. 343 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: Nags now is dealing with adversity. He's done it this year. 344 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: He's brought him back time after time. To me, that 345 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: means they'll be ready to go in this game Chicago Bears. 346 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: But coach's ability it will also handle flashpoints and navigate icebergs. Yeah, 347 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: we talked about you talk about flashpoints, icebergs. It's a mindset, right. 348 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: Coach spagg Is probably one of the greatest coaches is 349 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: developing a guy's his mental strength to understand what is 350 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: it to have a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset. 351 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: And that's a whole podcast in itself, But having a 352 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: growth mandset is the way you accept what life deals you. 353 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: You can look at the losses being a loss non 354 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: winning effort marking the L column, or you can look 355 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: at the losses being a chance to get a lesson 356 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: to learn from why you didn't accomplish your goals for 357 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: that day, why your team didn't overcome, why your team 358 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,479 Speaker 1: wasn't successful, why your team wasn't victorious. And that happens 359 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: on and off the field. Some of the things you 360 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: mentioned was injuries. We talk about things off the field, 361 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 1: Guys missing time because being suspended, those type of things, 362 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: players having to leave the team because they do things 363 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: outside of the white lines. But then also actual game losses, 364 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: the tight end game loss the Green Bay Packer. Some 365 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: of the things that I think about that green Bay 366 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packer game is it challenged us as linebackers, 367 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: the core linebackers. How are we gonna go throughout this 368 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: season as far as man on man coverage versus very 369 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: very fundamentally sound elusive running backs. You know, sooner or 370 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: later you're going to see a team that uses a 371 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: running back as a wide receiver or a tight end 372 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: as good as kelsey elusive. How are those matchups going 373 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 1: to be handled when the time comes. We persevered through 374 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: a Green Bay Packer game giving up way too many 375 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: yards to the running back position uses as a wide receiver, 376 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: and it forced our defense to make an adjustment. So 377 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: we learn from that loss. It's now something teams now 378 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: can use to because before the Minnesota Vikings game, you 379 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: heard about it. Before the last game against the Patriots, 380 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: we heard about it and everybody wanted to look back 381 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: at the Green Bay Packer game, but we learned from that. 382 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: We've used that as a way to grow as a defense, 383 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: and now you have to try to create another way 384 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: to beat this defense. And every time our defense for 385 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: the last four weeks have stepped up to the occasion 386 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: and are playing lights out right now. And I turned back, 387 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,399 Speaker 1: we can turn back to the page if those lessons 388 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 1: learned at the Titans game, at the Packers game, some 389 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: of those lessons we learned during those losses are the 390 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: reason why this defense is playing so solid, so lights 391 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: out right now. Growth mindset versus fixed mindset? Right, is 392 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: that what she says that man where to go shop? 393 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: But I feel and those became big areas. Are covering 394 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: the running back in the Passion game, a big reason 395 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: why the Chiefs beat the Chargers in Mexico City, a 396 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: big reason why they can match up a little better 397 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: against the Patriots now, because that's what killed them for 398 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: the most part. People saw a gronk and stuff in 399 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: the championship game, but that game in particularly Foxboro in eighteen, 400 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: it was James White who's just going crazy on him 401 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: as a receiver. As a running back. Well, Okay, that 402 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: leads us into this week because Terry Cohen does that 403 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears, a really good receiver as a 404 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: running back. And so this growth by this Chief's defense 405 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: with the linebackers and growing from adversity. You know, I 406 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: joke about it, but finding unicorns on thunderclouds. I was 407 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: asked earlier this week by Chicago media, how's Nags going 408 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: to handle this season? Like? Well, I said, how is 409 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: he going to be in this game? And as he 410 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: gonna handle this season? I said, he's gonna keep chopping wood. 411 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: I said, he's gonna try to use this as a 412 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: teaching but I said he's gonna come after the Chiefs 413 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: as hard as he's coming after anybody all year, even 414 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: though they're out of the playoffs. Because people think they're 415 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 1: going to check it in. Huh. That's not the way 416 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: Nags was trained by coach Reid, and it's not the 417 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: way he's wired from his background. He's going to try 418 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: to find some kind of unicorn on the thundercloud to 419 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: use because this game would be huge for him to 420 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: build in to twenty twenty. Yeah, and he's in those 421 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 1: meetings where our offensive coordinator stripped down defenses and realizes 422 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: that defense area planning UM in two Thoy eighteen twenty seventeen, 423 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: they had a weakness at linebacker, weakness at safety. How 424 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: does coach reading his offensive said, how do they attack 425 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: that weakness? Nags was a part of that uh that 426 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: building phase. He knows the philosophy of how to attack 427 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: weaknesses the teams having those positions, and so it would 428 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: be almost you know it would It wouldn't be beyond 429 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 1: me thinking He's gonna use some of the same UM 430 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: philosophical um um attack points to try to get Mitch 431 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: Matches on the edge, using terrecoing um um angle routes, 432 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: aero routes, shoot routes, um um quick releases to the 433 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: flat um allowing the wide receiver to block the linebacker 434 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: or getting the linebackers way where you do bubble screens 435 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: UM using terrecoing as a as A as a you know, 436 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: in jet motion, similar to how we use uh cheetah 437 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: to try to get our linebackers or our run gaps 438 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: misplaced so then they can run downhill and get us 439 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: out of our run gaps. So some of the same 440 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: motion and shifts that you see the Kansa City Chiefs 441 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 1: use when it comes to Miko Hardman and Tik Hill. 442 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: We might see similar things being used by Anthony Miller 443 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,719 Speaker 1: or about Teri Cohen or somebody with the Bears. So 444 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, we're gonna see some mirrors 445 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: images on the shifting motion packages because of the process 446 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: of getting those. Mitch match on defenders with better skilled 447 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: offensive players against are what most people think are weaker defenders. Again, 448 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: this edition of The Defender of the Kingdom is named 449 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: Dueling with Disciples, and that's familiarity breeds respect not contempt. 450 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: As we close out this third quarter, though, I'm talking 451 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: about finding the unicorns on Thunderclouds. I put this out 452 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: on Twitter earlier this week. You talked about learning from 453 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: the Titans game, and this leads into how we're going 454 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 1: to close this out because I'm asking about Terrell Suggs 455 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: and what he can add to the Chiefs if the 456 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs can get the two seed. This is predicated on 457 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: the Bills beating New England on Saturday, right, But let's 458 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: say the Chiefs can get to the two seed. Take 459 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: that hypothesis. You realize losing to the Titans help the 460 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs it put them in the waiver passage to be 461 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: able to get Terrell sucks. If they don't, he's gonna 462 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: get claimed by somebody else. So here's Sugs and at 463 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 1: the defensive end position for the Kansas City Chiefs. Emmanuel 464 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 1: Ogba did a great job this year, but tears his pack, 465 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: same position. Alex Oker for doing a great job for 466 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: the Chiefs tears his pack, same injury, same spot. But 467 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: what can you do to fill it in this late 468 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: and Damon Harris has done a good job. Wait a minute, 469 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: You've got Sugs and you can put him in there. 470 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: So if you get to the two seed that's putting, 471 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, the best construction on the Titan loss. What 472 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: can Sugs help this dude? To help this team? Man? 473 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: You mentioned that waiver claim process. It's so intricate. I 474 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: asked so many people hit me up on Twitter, on 475 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: different Facebook fees. How does it work? When does he 476 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: when does he pass waivers? Why didn't he wanted to 477 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,119 Speaker 1: go to Ravens? How come their claim was not valuable? 478 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: All these different things. Make sure you go to our website. 479 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: Look at all the stuff that bj Kissel was doing. 480 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: He breaks down that waiver claim process better than anybody 481 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: I've ever seen besides the NFL Football Operations website. So 482 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: look at that. It tells about the nuances about what 483 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: teams were positioned where. Yes, if we had beat the 484 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, then that waiver claim would have went to 485 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, or it might have went to the 486 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. So yes, one to rail sucks. 487 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: T Sizzle might have been back there replacing d Ford 488 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: with the forty nine ers, and if we had one 489 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: more win. So it's it's one of those things, right, 490 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: it's it's the nectar of the gods. Sometimes things happen 491 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: for a reason. You don't look back. Each game is valuable, 492 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: you try to win, you try to play your best. 493 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: But right now, right here, in this moment in time, 494 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,919 Speaker 1: we were able to claim T. Sizzle a Hall of 495 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: Fame all time. One of the top guys in sacks. 496 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: I think he's only three of away from moving up 497 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: to the next rank is getting sacks. And for him 498 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: to come into Chief's kingdom with you see the amount 499 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 1: of respect he asked for coach Andy Reid, the amount 500 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: of respect he has for Pat Mahomes. He wanted to 501 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 1: be a part of something. Even before just a few games. 502 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: He saw greatness in the air, he saw what his 503 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: team has headed, and he knew that was something that 504 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: could benefit from his Hall of Fame status being added 505 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: to it. I see nothing but a benefit of having 506 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: that type of resume adding into your defensive locker room. 507 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: If there was one thing that we were short of, 508 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: if you talk about the Chiefs defense, is championship pedigree. 509 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: Guys that actually have been to the super Bowl knows 510 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: what it liked to be preparing for the super Bowl, 511 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: getting ready for it, and then the mentality you need 512 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: to go into that game. So that's somebody who has that. 513 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: He's been there, he's been to the show, he's won 514 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: it all. He can speak from a personal level to 515 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: our players that our other leaders can't. Chris Jones can't 516 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: speak about it because he don't know about it. I'm honey, Badgers. 517 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: As great of a leader as he is, there's certain 518 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: things that you can only speak from from personal experience. 519 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 1: So that value in itself is more than worth at 520 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty thousand whatever it was worth left 521 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: on that contract to get him here for two more weeks. 522 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: I think that was a wonderful move by Brett Beach 523 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: and coach Reet to get somebody of that quality into 524 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 1: the foe right now at the end of the season, 525 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: Spags talked about that very thing this week of just 526 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 1: what he brings to the room and that edge of 527 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: knowing how to get there. And Spags has been there too, 528 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: He's been at the Golden Ring. But again, the Chiefs 529 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: have to get the two seed for this to work. 530 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: But you can go back and look at my tweet, 531 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: because losing that Titan game could have given the Chiefs 532 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 1: they get the two seed and Sugs you talk about it. 533 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: I said unicorns on Thunderclouds also said on that tweet, 534 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: is it manure or is it fertilizer? Okay, so that's 535 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: why Matt Naggi is with Chicago. That's what I'm saying. 536 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: He'll be back. He'll be fine. Just be cool here 537 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: Bear Nation, He's gonna be and he's gonna use This 538 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,959 Speaker 1: week is at the start of next season. All right. 539 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: We go to the fourth quarter in our final portion 540 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: of this Defending the Kingdom episode, which is dealing with disciples, 541 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: familiarity breeds respect and again it's brought to you by 542 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 1: three sixty vodka, the official vodka the Kansas City Chiefs. 543 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: The fourth quarter is dealing with maybe with his less familiarity, 544 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: and that's with the Chicago defense. Now, this is an 545 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: interesting defense. They have not given up even though the 546 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: Bears are seven and seven and out of the AFC 547 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: playoff chase. This is a defense that is still pretty 548 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: much intact. And one thing that comes off the page 549 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: is that they do not give up big plays. They 550 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: are second in the league and disallowing plays of ten 551 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: yards or more. Only Jacksonville's given up fewer. This is 552 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,320 Speaker 1: a team that makes you earn it, and the guys 553 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: up front are tough. They've got some studs up there. Now, 554 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: if Keem Hicks plays, that's a full grown man. So 555 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: you got to deal with the Chicago defense, which is 556 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: still very much intact and very much Yeah. It begins 557 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: to start with Matt right. Mack is a guy who 558 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: brings instant pressure, and we talk about not giving a 559 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: big plays. I think it becomes they have what it 560 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: takes to trust at all three levels, and we talk 561 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: It starts with Mac. Mac is a guy. If I'm 562 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: on that defense, I know he's gonna be a guy 563 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 1: who sets the tone. He's gonna be coming every dayn 564 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: after your quarterback, he has to be accounting for. Teams 565 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: are gonna adjust to him, sometimes over adjust which leaves 566 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: some one on one matchup that you can take advantage of. 567 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: But defensively, the secondary trusted, they're not gonna have to 568 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: cover more than two seconds. Mac is gonna be there 569 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: no matter what the call is, whether they bring in blitz, pressures, dogs, 570 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: or just rushing three. If he's one of those three, 571 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback is gonna be uncomfortable if not pressure, not 572 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: on the ground within two and a half seconds. So 573 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: that allows them to be very aggressive on the bag 574 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: in on the back end, play their techniques. Kind of 575 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: the same thing. We talk about our defense being a 576 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: trusting defense having confidence in one another. The position in 577 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 1: that defense is broke down is the linebacker not having 578 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: Trebathian in there. Um, he's been one of the biggest 579 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: losses because that leadership. Um, that that that trust and 580 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: leadership from from that signal caller. I mean you can 581 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: see he's a He's a perennial Pro Bowl type linebacker. 582 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: He brings so much fire and energy. Um, I think 583 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,640 Speaker 1: it has been any let down in that and in 584 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: the three levels of that defense is at that linebacker position, 585 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: and that's something we can look forward to attacking. Yeah, 586 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: Kevin Pierre Lewis is their former chief. Actually he's in 587 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: there and trying to, you know, hold the fort if 588 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: you will. The secondary, though, um is good. Kyle Fuller, 589 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: Kennel Fuller's brothers on this team. You know you Virginia 590 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: Tech fans and love that one of the four Fuller 591 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: brothers in the National Football League of veteran Prince Amukamara, 592 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: you can remember him if you're a Nebraska fan. The 593 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: sedcent secondary. But here's a stat that I think. You know, 594 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: sometimes stats can be overrated, but this is one I 595 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: don't think is as it pertains to the Bears defense 596 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. The Chiefs are number one in the 597 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: National Football League. And how many points they've scored outside 598 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: the red zone. Okay, let's think about the Micole Hardman 599 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: pass a couple of weeks ago against New England. Let's 600 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: think about the past to Tyreek kill of forty one 601 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: yards against the Broncos. Those are beyond the red zone. 602 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,959 Speaker 1: Those are plays of twenty yards or more to score. 603 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs are number one in the league. This team, the 604 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: Bears have allowed only forty three points outside the red zone, 605 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: meaning this is a strength meeting of strength, and so 606 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: to me, you're gonna have to earn these big plays 607 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: and you may have to be patient against these guys, 608 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 1: but this is a team that doesn't necessarily allow easily 609 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: the fifty yard. Just heave it up and there's mcole 610 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,640 Speaker 1: Hardman for a touchdown. You're not gonna see a bunch 611 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 1: of breakdowns on the back end. No blown coverages defenders. 612 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 1: We talked about seeing this past week and some defenders 613 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: running into each other and giving up touchdowns. You're not 614 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: gonna see that when it comes to the Bears defense. 615 00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: But what you have to do is you have to 616 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: be able to find and locate and nowhere macin Fuller 617 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: is on every snap. Both of those guys are so 618 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: phenomenal at making big plays. They're big, big, big primetime players. 619 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: But then also you have to turn around and you 620 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: have to know where where you can attack. You can 621 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: attack the Prince from Nebraska, and you can attack Pierre Lewis, 622 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: even though he was a guy that served his time 623 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 1: here in the Kingdom, he's moved on. He's not a 624 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: true starting quality linebacker, and he if he has some detriments, 625 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 1: if he has some weaknesses, it's the coverage ability he does. 626 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: He attacks to run well, he's a striker, he's a thumper. 627 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: He hits, he shards, but his coverage he loses his 628 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: leverage on anger routes. He can't, you know, follow receivers, 629 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: running backs beyond five yards, so he gets lost in 630 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: coverage sometimes. So I think those two positions is where 631 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: Coach Reid's staff and the offensive philosophy can I mean 632 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: time and time again when they need a first down, 633 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: we talk about how effective Kelsey is and you're talking 634 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: about a guy named Pierre Lewis trying to cover a 635 00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: guy like Kelsey coming as hot as he is. That's 636 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: the first day and whenever you want it, and they 637 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: just don't have the speed on the back end to 638 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: be able to stay up with the chita. All right, 639 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: final thing, we're going a little bit overtime here, So 640 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: we're overtime of this edition of the Defending the Kingdom podcast. 641 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: Familiarity breeds respect dealing with disciples, and it has to 642 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: deal with special teams. I can't just let it go 643 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 1: because Cordell Patterson is setting back there taking back kicks 644 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: for the Chicago Bears. If you want to just hey, 645 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 1: why are you going there? Go back and watch the 646 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game. His kick return got everything started for 647 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: New England. The chance there's a chance to tackle him 648 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: at the fifteen. We went back this, well, this is 649 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: a summertime thing. You and I talked about this. There 650 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 1: was a chance to tackle him at the fifteen. Patterson 651 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: got loose and got to the thirty eight. When I'm 652 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 1: calling the play by player this game shop in my mind, 653 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: all the calculations are going on him. How much better 654 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: now the Patriots chance to score is from the fifteen, 655 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: which I don't think they would have scored to the 656 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: thirty eighth where that thing started. Cordell Patterson can be 657 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: a game wrecker as a returner. He's got a one 658 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: hundred and two yard kickoff return for a touchdown this season. 659 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: Former Hutch Blue Dragon been around from the Chief Kingdom 660 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: playing juco ball. But this guy now has to be 661 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: accounted for because Cordell Patterson wants to take every kick 662 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: he can find to the house. Yeah, Coach Tobes is 663 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna take it personal because it's a 664 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: family affair, UM, not only his person, not only by 665 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: being the father business family affair because he used to 666 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 1: be back with the Bears himself. So uh, he wants 667 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,719 Speaker 1: to go there and show um how much his his 668 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 1: his special teams has progressed and been able to be 669 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: a difference maker. You know, the Bears Special Team is 670 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: gonna take a lot of pride at uh trying to 671 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 1: come in there and and and and put a little 672 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: put put a little dullness on coach Tobes shine when 673 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 1: it comes to being one of the premier special teams 674 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: coaches in the league UM over the last decade. UM. 675 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: But I think we have the return guys UM. Obviously 676 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:55,439 Speaker 1: congratulations to McCole Hartman being voted UM returned Pro Bowl 677 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 1: player Jet Fuel. We got a number of guys that 678 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: can get back there and do some things. I think 679 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: the one phase of our special teams that people having 680 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: get really given the credit to is our blocks to 681 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: be able to block kicks, block field goals, block punts. Um. 682 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: We're getting a lot of pressure that it's just that 683 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: cloth fingernail away from being a big play turnover. So 684 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: I think that that might be the phase of our 685 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,360 Speaker 1: special teams that we see get unleashed Sunday night versus 686 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 1: the Bears.
