He's real close to that record. 56 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: He's done way more than that. I mean, he's redefined 57 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: the position this year. And of course, my man Patrick 58 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: Mahomes right here in big red Annie read. If the 59 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: Chiefs win this game against Atlanta will be a franchise 60 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: record fourteenth victory in the regular season hasn't happened in 61 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: sixty one years of this franchise. But the biggest prize 62 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: here this week to season is it's their shop, the 63 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: chance to get the only buy available this year in 64 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: the AFC. It's theirs for the taking. Nothing else has 65 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: to happen. You mentioned this on our Chiefs Rerund Show 66 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: last Sunday night after the Saints game, was the fact 67 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: that we don't have to rely on anybody else. It's there, 68 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: so grab it season shop. We talk about the top 69 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: team in the NFL, the team that no one wanted 70 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: to see, try to run it back. Also being given 71 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: the bye week, that's an extra advantage, that's an opportunity. 72 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Needs to rest your dogs, rest your horses. Nobody wants 73 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: to run a race with someone who's getting a advantage. Right, 74 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: we talk about having an advantage for the NFL season. 75 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Everybody has to run the same race. It's seventeen weeks, 76 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: hard nosed foot ball. You gotta play your best. You 77 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: got to. You gotta play a full season just to 78 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: earn a spot in the playoffs. Once you get to 79 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs, we talk about the records are raced. It's 80 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: one and done. You lose and you go home. You 81 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: win and you advance the only advantage in the playoffs 82 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: is that by week Yeah, during the play by play 83 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: last week of the game, I tied it into the 84 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: former NASCAR driver recently retired Clint Bowyers from Emporia, Kansas, 85 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 1: an enormous Chiefs fan. He just retired, but five hundred 86 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: and sixty one races, he won ten in a nas 87 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: Cup series. Four times he was the pole. I said, 88 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: he could tell us all about the advantage of the 89 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: pole position. You laid it out beautifully for the Chiefs 90 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: to grab it. But what we've also seen here are 91 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: some teams that have had an opportunity that have not 92 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: grabbed it. If you go back and look at the 93 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: Rams last weekend, they are their neck and neck. They 94 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: do not like the Seahawks. That division has been a 95 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: dog eat dog division all year, and yet they lose 96 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: to the Jets. The Jets and now it puts them 97 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: in parallel of losing the division title to Seattle. They 98 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: gotta scramble get it. And then the Saints, I mean, 99 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: the Saints had a great position to be in the 100 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: one seed for the NFC. They're a battle on the Packers, 101 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 1: but now they're behind. They've lost two straight games, but 102 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 1: they launched to the Eagles seventeen to fourteen. Here are 103 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs taken on the four and ten Falcons in 104 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: the same spot. Take it, seize it against the team 105 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 1: that I'm calling mercurial. I'm very talented Atlanta team that 106 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: is mercurial. Man. They've been all over the map. We 107 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: talk about a Falcons team that has lost three or 108 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: four times this season being up by seventeen. Don't talk 109 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: about the fact that they allowed another team to come back, 110 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: But how about the fact that they were good enough 111 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: to get up by seventeen. That's the point of that 112 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: people don't really realize. I mean, you have to have 113 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: some offensive weapons, you have to have some firepower, and 114 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 1: you also oxually have to make some defensive stops to 115 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: allow your team to get up by three scores. And 116 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: they've been able to do that multiple times this season. 117 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: So that's not a team to be taken lightly. They 118 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: can put up points, they can run up the school 119 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: board very quick, and they have defense that can make 120 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: big plays guys and get to the pass rusher, I 121 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: mean get to the quarterback pass rushers, and they can 122 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: stop to run. So they're a capable team. I think 123 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: they're just a team in a season of transition having 124 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: to fire the coach moving on having a temporary standing coach. 125 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: It leaves a lot to be desired as far as 126 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: an organization having a vision to follow, but as far 127 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: as skill players having the ability to play at the 128 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: highest level. The Falcons teams, they come out like game 129 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: busters out of the gate. You have to be able 130 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: to withstand that that first rush, that first um, you know, 131 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: first quarter or so, and then you got to be 132 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: able to start strong and finish strong against the Falcons. 133 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: And there's going to be a test for us here 134 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: in the Arrowheads and Arrowhead Stadium to see if our 135 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: team is really prepared for the playoffs, ready to finish, 136 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: start fast and finish strong. And a time can our 137 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: producers open some gifts during the holidays in the Christmas 138 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: time and looked at it like what is this? Can't 139 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: tell like it looks at it upside down. I've given 140 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: a few of those away shop, but when I see 141 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, it's like opening up that and going 142 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: what is this and what are they? You mentioned the 143 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: three seventeen point leads blown. That's only three times since 144 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: nineteen forty in the national Football League. So well, whoa, whoa, whoa. 145 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: The Chiefs have won six straight games of a touchdown 146 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: or less. That's an all time NFL record. So what 147 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: do we have here? But to your point is, if 148 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: you're looking at this like, well, this Falcon team is 149 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: dangerous because they've had those leads and they're thinking if 150 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: something that goofy on sidekick against Dallas. I mean, they've 151 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: had just stuff happen to them. But this is a team. Hey, 152 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: if the Jets can upset the Rams and the Eagles 153 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: can upset the Saints, then the Chiefs have got to 154 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: take care of business and seize the day and beat 155 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: these guys. Hey, this is a glass. If you fill 156 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: it up, is it half empty or half full? That's 157 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: what you got with the Atlanta Falcons. Are their team 158 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: is half empty or half full? You don't know until 159 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: you play them, until you go out there and improve 160 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: it to them. If you allow that team to stay 161 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: with you for a quarter, a half, and god forbid 162 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: three quarters, and you give them the thought process, they 163 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: actually can go out and win a game. They have 164 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: enough skilled players to actually pull it off. The Julio Jones, 165 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: the Ridley's obviously, the girlies, Matt Ryan at quarterback on 166 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: the deepensive side of the ball, a bunch of playmakers 167 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: throughout all three levels. They have enough firepower on both 168 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: sides of the ball and they can actually make a 169 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: ball game a gay from it. But if at the 170 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: beginning of the game, if you seize it, like you said, 171 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: if you seize the moment, seize the opportunity, understand that 172 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: the first round buy is at stake, and if you 173 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: want it, go get it. The Kansas City Chiefs have 174 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: a perfect opportunity to at the beginning of this game 175 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: to make it be crystal clear who is a playoff 176 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: bound team headed for greatness and who is a team 177 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: that needs to go home and rebuild. If we don't 178 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: come out the gates and improve it to him in 179 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: quarter one and let them hang around, then we lead 180 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: doubt in our own minds and we give hope to 181 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 1: their team. Ryan's put up Matt Ryan's thirty five years 182 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: old of and around the league a long time. Had 183 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl heartache in Super Bowl fifty one against 184 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: New England when they had the big league and let 185 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: it go. But the dudes put up some big numbers 186 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,959 Speaker 1: this year. Four hundred and fifty in a game, three 187 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five in a game. He has turned 188 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,079 Speaker 1: it over eleven times on picks and lost two fumbles. 189 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: But to your point, this can be a high volume offense. 190 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: And I love Julio Jones, but I really like Cam Ridley. 191 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: I think he's one of the more under the radar 192 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: guys in this league. If you look at his catches, 193 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: yards and yards per catch, he's a guy that can 194 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: pose big problems for the Chiefs on Sunday always. They 195 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: have one of the If you look at their wide 196 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: receiver corps, we talk about how versus out and how 197 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: explosive the Chiefs receivers are, including Kelsey, and that with Kelsey, 198 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and Cheetah, well, when you look at the 199 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: Falcons offense, they're equally explosive. They're a team that can 200 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: go vertical and they got one of those guys. If 201 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: it's a fifty fifty ball. Julio Jones is amazing with 202 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: his catch radius, amazing hands, top end speed, and Ridley 203 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: is a sputting star. He's one of those guys that 204 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: are just just off the radar, but in a year 205 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: or two he's gonna be the next great when you 206 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: talk about a handful of receivers upcoming, justin Jefferson and 207 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 1: those type of guys coming from the Minnesota Vikings. But 208 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley is on that next that next tier of 209 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: great wide receivers, and if you allow that young man 210 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: to get get started, it can be a very long 211 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: day for your defense. Basing a high powered Falcons offense. 212 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: The Atlanta defense is part of this mercurial team. They've 213 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: struggled in past defense a lot, but upfront they've got 214 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: some athletes now that can make things difficult. We saw 215 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes get hit a lot in the New Orleans game. 216 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: They can press her and you've got to again take 217 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: care of the opportunities that you get. Because this Atlanta 218 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: defense has had its moments, yeah been They've had a 219 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: problem always in that back end trying to relate to 220 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: receivers deepen routes deep in the snap count a lot 221 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 1: of times with his long yardage, They've they've tried to 222 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: do some things, mix up pressures and they leave a 223 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: lot of man to man coverage on the back end, 224 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: and they just don't really have the skill level to 225 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 1: match up greatly against you. When you're talking about that 226 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: the level and the caliber of receivers the Chiefs have, 227 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 1: So I would see them trying to go away from that, 228 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: maybe trying to go to what Tampa Bay did, what 229 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: a few teams tried to do to us with the 230 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: drop eights scenario and allowed Pat Mahomes to hold the 231 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: ball a little bit longer, but then to just overflood 232 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: the zones with defenders and try to play that Ben 233 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: don't break defense style of ball. If you come after 234 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes again and again each week, he's shown you 235 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 1: pressuring a guy with that type of mindset, with that 236 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: type of capability, but the arm skills that Pat Mahomes has, 237 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: it ends up being a quick way to a loss. 238 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: And so I don't know how many times the team's 239 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: gonna do it. They're gonna try to stick back by 240 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: their guns and do what they do on defense. But 241 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: I think the recipe for success or trying to create 242 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: some type of success against our Chiefs offense is dropping 243 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: as many defenders as possible, making us throw check downs, 244 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: making us move the ball down the field. And we've 245 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: we've proven over time that even that is a is 246 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: a losing mentality. So again there's a reason the Chiefs 247 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: are only have one limish on the record for the 248 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: season is because we've learned how to evolve to whatever 249 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: defenses trying to do to defend Pat Mahomes Chargers. I'm 250 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: sorry the Falcons, I say the Chargers because Young Hoku's 251 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: their kicker. Now, remember he was with the Chargers and struggled. 252 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 1: He leads the league in scoring. He's thirty five or 253 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: thirty six on field goals. That dude get lasic. I remember, 254 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: did he have the goggles or something? Did he get lasic? 255 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: Because he actually got lasing from a guy Silverstein because 256 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: he's hitting every field goal. Now you don't want to 257 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: get down the field goal. Our guy is really good. 258 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: But that the young Olku has resurrected his career with 259 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: the Falcons. Man young Ocu has done a good thing. 260 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: I think by taking the glasses off, he no longer 261 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: looks at the goal posts. Only thing right, when you 262 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: have that distance right, when he's far sighted, he can't 263 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: see far so he doesn't even look at the goal post. 264 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: He just looks right down at the ball. And he's 265 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: fine tuned his system to just close right. I just 266 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: need to see I make good contact and whatever happens happens. 267 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: That might be the best case scenario for a kicker 268 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: because it keeps their process, it keeps their mindset on 269 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: just creating good contact and letting whatever happened happening. He 270 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: doesn't see what he says. You can't see the forest 271 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: for the tree, or you can't see the tree for 272 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: the forest. However that's saying goes. Young Oku has done 273 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: a great job in the last couple of weeks of 274 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: being a definitely one of the premiere upcoming kickers when 275 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: we see him. So many kickers in the league extra points, 276 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 1: missfield goals, costing their teams games. Young Oku, he's been 277 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: able to keep the falcon in ball games with his 278 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: powerful league. Why am I thinking of Michael Jordan making 279 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: free throws with his eyes closed when you were talking 280 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: about that, Maybe Young Oku is closing his eyes and 281 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: kicking these all these field goals. We're going to close 282 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: this way, and it's the guy's on my shoulders here 283 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: because we're going to talk about some records here that 284 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: are on the line this weekend, and again it is 285 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: not the top priority. So don't think we're going there 286 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: because this guy over my shoulder on the left side 287 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: doesn't want to hear about all that. He wants to 288 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: win this game and clinch that one seed and get 289 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: that buy in THEFC playoffs. But the guy to my 290 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: top right shoulder, Travis Kelsey shop has got the chance. 291 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: He's right there to have the best year statistically in 292 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: the history the National Football League for any tight end. 293 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: You've coupled that with what he's done the last five 294 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: years in his blocking, this year has been superb. Just 295 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: go watch the sprint option play for the Chiefs last 296 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: touchdown and look at what Kelsey buries that dude that 297 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: allows Patrick to cut up fielding and pitch it late 298 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: to Levy on Bellas. I just to our catches and 299 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: yards and yards per catch with kel sho's spent about 300 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: his comprehensive game, I don't think I am so proud 301 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 1: of him. We've talked about him undefending the Kingdom a lot, 302 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: but Travis Kelsey has a chance to have a big, 303 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: big day for him personally and for the team. On Sunday, well, 304 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: we talk about Travis Kelsey aka Zeus. My nickname for 305 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: him is in fuego because he is on fire and 306 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about a consistent the consistency that that man 307 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: has been playing all year long. And actually, you know what, 308 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: Niche we can go back two seasons, we can go 309 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: but the last two seasons he's been one of the 310 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 1: most consistent offensive threats in the NFL. It doesn't matter 311 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: what position he's played. He's unguardable, no matter if you 312 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: recognize the split, you recognize the formation, you think you 313 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: know where Rowdy's running, even when he's covered him and 314 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: Mahomes has this like like they're twins. They have this mindset, 315 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: this mental connection that he just becomes uncovered and Pat 316 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes has the arm strength in the vision to stay 317 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: with them until he becomes uncovered and complete the ball. 318 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: We've seen completion after completion, first down after first down. 319 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: If you go back and look at the Chiefs of 320 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: victories this year, fifty percent of that victory could be 321 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: placed on Kelsey creating first downs, first downs, first downs, 322 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: and then making himself available for touchdowns. Even in this 323 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: last ball game we talk about cheater, the change three 324 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: directions and then late coming out well, guests two was 325 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: triple covered in that same play Travis Kelsey. Yes, if 326 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: you triple cover Kelsey, there's nobody left to cover cheater. Right. 327 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: That's but that's the type of awareness offenses. Our offense 328 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: has on where Kelsey is lining up, but defenses has 329 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 1: to pay so much attention to him that other playmakers 330 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: get unaccounted for, and it becomes easy pickings for Pat Mahomes, 331 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: and it becomes easy pickings for then Big Red to 332 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: draw up new plays based off of how you're trying 333 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: to defend Travis Kelsey. So when you talk about offensive 334 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: MVP this year, he is the guy that rings the 335 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: bell when you talk about somebody who has to be 336 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 1: accounting for each and every play and trying to stop 337 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs offense. It's just interesting. These three pictures behind 338 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: me are all kind of tied together because to me, 339 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: it seems like that's the way they are. Their brains 340 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: are knitted together in the way that they work. And 341 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: Patrick with Kelsey or again some other planet, it's like 342 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: what Saturn and Jupiter side by side right now, that's 343 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: what these guys are that hadn't happened in six hundred years. 344 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: This has never happened. And then finally the guy for 345 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: my left shoulder in Andy Reid, wants to take care 346 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: of business and get this victory over the Falcons. But 347 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: if they do shop, let's just pause here a second, 348 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: that will be fourteen regular season wins. That's never happened 349 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: in franchise history. To me, we're trying to run it back. 350 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: It's a super Bowl fifty five. Get a back to 351 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: back super Bowl championship. That hasn't happened, we know, in 352 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: six teen years. But to go fourteen and two in 353 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: the regular season, it's something that creates its own energy 354 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: that spends you also in the offseason and takes you 355 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 1: into twenty twenty one. Because if you do something that's 356 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: significant that's never been done, that does create momentum that 357 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: carries through for months ahead and hopefully that with a 358 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: super Bowl title. But to do it and maybe the 359 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: toughest year, one of the toughest years ever in the AFC, 360 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: the fact that it took fourteen and two to get 361 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: it done and that you've got a chance to have 362 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: success in the playoffs, to me is a big deal. 363 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: Man Big Red will never get his proper amount of credit. 364 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: But he doesn't ask for it. He doesn't want it, 365 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't desire it. He loves leading his ball team 366 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: because it's full of men trying to pursue greatness, and 367 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,719 Speaker 1: that's all he does. He created a vision, He created 368 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: an environment for them to learn and be willing to 369 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: grow and evolve. This offense, this team, this Chief's Kingdom, 370 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: the fan base, the organization all had to really understand 371 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: what coach Andy Reid's vision for this organization was. And 372 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: he was able not to only not within himself, but 373 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: he stayed so true to that that you know, Bob 374 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: Sutton is out the picture of John Dorsey had to 375 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: leave the organization and with Steve Spagnola coming in with 376 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: following Andy Reid's vision, Bret veach understanding Andy Reid's vision 377 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: and for them to come in and not lose a beat, 378 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: to jump on the train, keep the train moving, not 379 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: lose any momentum, to win the amount of games we 380 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: won in a in a in a four hundred almost 381 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: four hundred years span, to have grown men be that 382 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: focused on getting a just just a little bit better 383 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: each day, not not trying to recreate the wheel, but 384 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: just understanding your own game and understanding if you can 385 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: get that much better, this much better each day at practice, 386 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: each day at practice, understanding w we want to go 387 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: as a team as an organization. It's never been about 388 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: wins and losses. It's always with him developing players to 389 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: be better ball players, to understand game plans, understand game situations, 390 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: and just to be a contribution to this team in 391 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: a winning fashion and let the schoolboy take care of itself. 392 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: He's never been worried about those things, so he's always 393 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: continuously pushing but people to let your personality show evolve 394 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: as an organization, evolved as a team, grow as an individual, 395 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: grow as a man, and that will help our football 396 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: team as a whole become better. And whatever the record 397 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: is and whatever the score ball to the game, we'll 398 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: deal with that. The result of that has been an 399 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: amazing run that every game we are the favorite going 400 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: into the game because we are the most skilled ball 401 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: team going into each and every game. Each week, we 402 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: can win something, we can lose some. But there is 403 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: no team that can beat the Kansas City Chiefs except 404 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: for the Kansas City Chiefs. Twenty two and one over 405 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: a span of four hundred and fifteen days is just 406 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: mind boggling. And Matt McMullan put it up. I retweeted 407 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: at NFL Research had it you just look at the 408 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: company you're in and that and it's some of the 409 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 1: greatest teams, if not the greatest teams of all time. 410 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: All right, Shop will close out of here. But it's 411 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: interesting these three guys, and you're laying it out there 412 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: so well, all three will wear a gold jacket some 413 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 1: day in camp. While all three of them, we might 414 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: as well put gold jackets on them in this episode. 415 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: But here's why they'll wear gold jackets, every one of 416 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: these guys, all three of them. When they've had the opportunity, 417 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: they've seized it. And now it's time for this Chief's 418 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: Team at twenty twenty in the Chiefs Kingdom to see 419 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: it this Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, 420 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: God bless you Shop and all your family. Hey man, 421 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: we got to seize the moment. Hopefully Chief's Kingdom come 422 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: out to the stadium. If you're not at the stadium, 423 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: wherever you at, cheer one on your team. You can 424 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: feel that emotion, We feel that passion. We know that 425 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: you have a purpose. The purpose of this team is 426 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: to not only grab that number one seat, but to 427 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: carry that winning momentum on into the playoffs all the 428 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: way to Tampa Bay so we can go back to 429 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: back and run it back. Mitchell's voice of the Chiefs. 430 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: We hope you all have a special I know it's different, 431 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: but a special holiday season and yeah, it's time to 432 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: run it back. But this week it's time to seize it.
