1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs remained the only unbeaten team in

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: the National Football League, but that'll be tested Monday Night

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at GEHA Field at

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs Kingdom has a rich history in

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: railroads and for the Chiefs, this is the next train

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: stop Monday Night Football, and of course, defending the Kingdom

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Ticketmaster. I think several thousand

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: of you might have used Ticketmaster to get the tickets

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: in the game in Las Vegas because the stadium was

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: all red sprat sat minshew fourth down and go to

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: go with the three looking right stepped up into the pocket.

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: Sucked, sucked, sucked. Mansu goes down.

13
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, I'm a child's voice of the Chiefs along

14
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 1: with senior team reporter Matt McMullen, and we're wearing our

15
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: Salute to Service hoodies as we get ready for the

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Salute to Service games coming up in November, as the

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs will start that on Monday Night football against the

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. But let's start with just that we

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: talk about Ticketmaster. I've never seen a game in thirty

20
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: one years with the opposing stadium was it had to

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: be four fifths chiefs.

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. And we're used to that. It's cool

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: because anywhere we go there's a lot of red, but

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: I've never seen that much read in a road stadium before.

25
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: Particularly from our vantage point up top. It was almost

26
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: all read. I almost didn't see any reader fans at all.

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it was loud for the national anthem. It

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: was actually was that our national anthem? Was that Kazakh stunts?

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: That was? That was pretty weird, wasn't it.

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: That is the weirdest national anthem I've ever heard. I'm sorry,

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, is that Sri Lanka? I couldn't tell

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: what did he forget?

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 2: The words?

34
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: He forgot words, phrases and the melody? Yeah, which that's

35
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, usually one of the three. You'll have the melody,

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: but I don't remember the words. No, he didn't have anything.

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: And he starts over and he started over and it

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,279
Speaker 1: was worse than when it began. And then the crowd

39
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: just took over and go, dude, just stand down. We

40
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: got it, and so the crowd sings the rest of it.

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: Get him off. You're way too young, remember an old

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: time TV show when I was a little kid called

43
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: the Gong Show and they would put these acts up

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: there and they were like crazy acts and then something

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: had gong and then take a hook and take him

46
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: out of the Yeah, we were ready to gong that

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: guy and just hook him out, you know.

48
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: So and also so in Vegas for the Raiders fans

49
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 2: that were there because of the Golden Knights, when the

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: word night is spoken in the national anthem, they all

51
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: shout night, you know. But they were getting confused because

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 2: the singer was trying to get to that point and

53
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: at the point where it should have happened, you heard

54
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: kind of like a half hearted night, but he didn't

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: say night, and then it was just confusing. Then he

56
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: went back. It was very strange. I thought my brain

57
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: was ripping into there for a moment. But fortunately the

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans waited till the very end and were deafening

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: when he actually finished it well.

60
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: And then but the Chiefs fans are going, where's Chiefs

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: coming in this? Because they're right, because the Knights fans

62
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: are going nice cheese, cheese, And then it just kind

63
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: of blended together. Yeah, at first I felt sorry for him.

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is so embarrassing. And then I go, no,

65
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for the rest of us listening to this.

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: And so, yeah, he had a good voice. Okay, didn't

67
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: other words, though, that's part of the component. Matt is

68
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 2: so positive anthem. Matt is such a good guy and

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: he's so positive. He's going at least he has a

70
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: good voice voice.

71
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, then sing something else, but don't sing our

72
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: national anthem and make it look sound like it's you know,

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: Monrovia's or something. It was weird. Wow, it was crazy.

74
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was weird, but cool seeing all I got

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: read there.

76
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: That was the saving grace and a win and win

77
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs seven and oh, the first team

78
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: in thirty five seasons to come off a back to

79
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: back Super Bowl championship and go seven and oh. That

80
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: was the San Francisco forty nine Ers of nineteen ninety,

81
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: which was the only back to back Super Bowl champion

82
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: to make it to the Conference championship game in that

83
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: third year. So the Chiefs, they try to keep the

84
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: train rolling here. You know. Rick Burkholder was busy. He

85
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: was on the field, of course, our vice president for

86
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: Athletic Training and perform rmance, but he also put up

87
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: a meme on social media, which I love because right

88
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: after the game, it was this big Chiefs Kingdom train

89
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: roaring down the track, and that's what this team feels like.

90
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: Not to be cocky, not to show hubris here, but

91
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: the next train stop for the Chiefs is Monday Night

92
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

93
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: It's really hard to stop a train, right like if

94
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: you see something on the horizon, you better stop it

95
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: right then, because it takes a long time for it

96
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 2: to slow down. And this team is kind of like

97
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: a train in a lot of ways, because the Raiders

98
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: at times were in the game, particularly when they had

99
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: those two short fields. But just like a train is

100
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 2: hard to slow down, it's hard to beat a team

101
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 2: like the Chiefs, even when you have good opportunities. And

102
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: the Raiders are at the twenty eight yard line to

103
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: start a drive, only settle for a field goal, and

104
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: then they're inside the five yard line and the Chiefs

105
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: defense that we keep saying is the best defense in

106
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: the NFL, says, we know that you're knocking on the door,

107
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: but if you want to score, you have to earn it,

108
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: and they didn't. They couldn't get in four straight plays,

109
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: they actually go backwards. They net negative five yards. Looked

110
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,679
Speaker 2: it up. That was the first drive to begin inside

111
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: the opponent's five yard line against any team to not

112
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: net any points since the Texans failed to do so

113
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: in a similar situation back in twenty twenty two. So normally,

114
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 2: when teams are inside the five yard line and a

115
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: drive begins inside the five yard line, they're probably going

116
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 2: to score. The Chiefs said, not today.

117
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: You're so creative, great writer. Love reading all your stuff.

118
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: Thank you. When you said it's hard to stop a train?

119
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: Do you write copy for HVAC companies? Say dope, But

120
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: I'm in the market. I think I've heard that before.

121
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: It's like, well, so your moonlighting, I see what you're

122
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, that's spelled the same. But the Chiefs

123
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: Kingdom has a great history of railroad history. You think

124
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: of Kansas City Southern now CPKC. In fact, the current stadium, yeah,

125
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: the current go current the only stadium specifically for a

126
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: women's soccer team.

127
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: A professional team in anything.

128
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Anything, CPKC Stadium. So it's pretty cool. But the Kansas

129
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: City Southern tradition mainly North South Canada and Mexico. But

130
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: then you see in the Chief Kingdom Union Pacific, which

131
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: its history in Omaha and Council Bluffs, Iowa. There's an

132
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: old if you can find Hell on wheels, if you

133
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: can find it someplace I don't know, Netflix or somewhere.

134
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: It's a phenomenal series on the railroads going east and west,

135
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: but great tradition of railroads. Union Station. I love going there.

136
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 1: I love going there because my grandma and my two

137
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: aunts would come from Smith Center on the train to

138
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: Kansas City and feel like they were in Paris, France.

139
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: But there were so many things and so many people

140
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: that basically was like air travel in the day, and

141
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: Union Station was like kCi is now. So I love trains.

142
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: I love train history to study it. It's fascinating how

143
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: it affects history and affects in military operations. But yeah,

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: it is hard to stop a train tra Ai n

145
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: And it's hard to stop this Chief train.

146
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: Yeah it is because you have to play a perfect

147
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: game to beat this team. Because if you give the

148
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: Chiefs an opportunity, you give him a chance, they're going

149
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: to find a way to win it. And there's a

150
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: lot of good to take out of the game. On Sunday,

151
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: some things to clean up. But you think about we

152
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: had eight offensive possessions, we scored on five of them.

153
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 2: We were twelve of sixteen on third down, three for

154
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: four in the red zone, and then defensively again just

155
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 2: didn't let up an inch and the score makes it

156
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: look closer than it really was. The Chiefs essentially won

157
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: that game by two touchdowns. Of course, the Raiders scored

158
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: very late against kind of a soft defense that was

159
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: making sure the Raiders had to burn clock in order

160
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: to score. But the defense, the way it's playing right now,

161
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: and the offense I think is really coming along. DeAndre

162
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: Hopkins is going to fit right in. I mean he

163
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: was on the field for twenty three snaps, ran fourteen routes,

164
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: three targets. His two catches were big ones. He had

165
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: a big catch on third down on the third play

166
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: of the game. He's going to help us a lot

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 2: in that area. There were some areas or sometimes in

168
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: the red zone where he was open. It's a timing

169
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: chemistry thing with Patrick Mahomes that'll come. But also situational

170
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: football is an area that he's going to help us

171
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: a lot, and we saw that at the end of

172
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: the first half where we're trying to make the field

173
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: goal a little bit easier for Harrison. Butker, what are

174
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: you doing? Look for d Hop and De Hop gets

175
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: you thirteen yards to put you well within Harrison Bucker's range.

176
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: I mean that was after being here for just three days.

177
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: So as he's more and more integrated into the offense,

178
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: get ready for a lot of DeAndre Hopkins. I'm very

179
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: excited about him.

180
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: He acted like he was in every two minute drill

181
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: in Saint Joseph. Yeah, every two minute drill in the OTAs.

182
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: We had him in there in the two minute offense

183
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the half, and it was as

184
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: if he was just as comfortable he's been here in

185
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: all twelve years of his career. Tells you a lot

186
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: about d hop The thing I'll tell you if you

187
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: could find the Chief Kingdom archived somewhere in the Chiefs

188
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: Radio Network library. If you can find it, listen to

189
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: the Monday Night Show. Because Coach Red we talk about

190
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: stacking up things, not just plays. You know, player will

191
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: stack plays up or games up. But for the Chiefs

192
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: to stack up two games now, being seven of nine

193
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: in the red zone with touchdown efficiency is enormous because

194
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: the Chiefs prior to that was tied for twenty eighth

195
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: in the league. That was part of the stack up.

196
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: The other part of it is the goal line stain

197
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: and talking about this because this wasn't just this game obviously, Atlantic,

198
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: go back to Cincinnati, go back to Baltimore. All of

199
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: the situations were deep in having to defend our end zone.

200
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: The Chiefs do it, but Justin Reid was so magnificent

201
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: and explaining why and how it happens, and you know,

202
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: he's so articulate. If you can find it, listen to it,

203
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: because I just set there with chills down my spine

204
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: listening to Justin Reid because it was phenomenal.

205
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 2: And speaking of him's my great adjustments were made on

206
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: brock Bauers. Brock Bauers is a really good player and

207
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 2: was making some plays in the first half, but we

208
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 2: shut them down in the second half, and Jerry was

209
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: a big part of that. Really, at the core of

210
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: all of this, though, is our run defense. Our run

211
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: defense is unbelievable. It's gotten to the point where when

212
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: the other team hands it off, I'm like, good, great,

213
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: it's almost a wasted down. Alexander Mattinson pretty good player.

214
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 2: He had fifteen rushing yards on fourteen attempts. That's an

215
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: average of one point one yard per carry. It's incredible

216
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: against all opposing running backs now this year were allowing

217
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: just two point nine to six yards per carry. We're

218
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: third in the NFL and rush defense because we played

219
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson in Week one and he was scrambling all

220
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: over the place. But if you take him out, this

221
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 2: defense hasn't allowed anyone to run at all. And it's

222
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: just really been incredible. And you remove a team's running

223
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: game almost entirely, you force him to throw the ball,

224
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: makes things very difficult for the opposing offense. So it

225
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: run defense has been nothing short of incredible.

226
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: No running back has had over fifty yards this year.

227
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: That's stupid in the NFL. All right, let's go around

228
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: the world. We've waited way too long to jump into

229
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: our spacecraft with our salute to Service hoodies and travel

230
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: around the Earth. Yeah, we're excited, so and we'll listen

231
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: to everybody's national anthem as we go around. If I

232
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: don't know what line we're going to be at, what

233
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: longitude line.

234
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: We start, like, I think maybe from now on with

235
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: the podcast, you should start and then stop in the

236
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 2: middle of your thought and go somewhere else then come back.

237
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: That's kind of what it was like.

238
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: We got to have that dude with us. I don't

239
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: remember the guy's name, and have him and go, hey,

240
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 1: we're over Morocco right now, what's their national anthem? He'd

241
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: sing the same song.

242
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: I was just very confusing. Yeah, I was brutal today

243
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 2: for d hop eight around the worlds this has worked

244
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: out that way. It's the universe saying that DeAndre Hopkins

245
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: is a chief. Mark is listening from Versales, Missouri for sales.

246
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 2: Everyone from Versales is reaching out a shout out to

247
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: his brothers Ed and Steve as well. Jack is listening

248
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: from Madera Richeros, California. Paul is in Hutchinson, Kansas.

249
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: You know, talks and actually or the Trinity Celtics other

250
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: Central Christian Cougars. I'm glad you said that were the

251
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: Nickerson Panthers.

252
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: He said specifically, he really appreciates your knowledge of small

253
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: towns in Kansas and Missouri specifically, or how you know

254
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: about everyone's high school mascot.

255
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: So right on cue and ask him is he from

256
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: hutch or South Touchy. He's from South Touchy is he

257
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: in Nickerson Panthers? You go to the Haven Wildcats. I

258
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: don't know, let us know. Maybe maybe a private school guy.

259
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: But the Blue Drag, I'm sorry. The Saltalks Hutchinson. Salt

260
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: Talks are a that's a traditional power in football and very.

261
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: Historic high school. Saltalks is a cool name.

262
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: It is salt mines, right, they are all those big

263
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: salt mines are under Hutchinson.

264
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 2: All right, that makes sense. I like when the mascot

265
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: makes sense with the area, which it's not always the case.

266
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: Most of the time. It's not the case.

267
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: If it doesn't, it needs to be thrown out. Yeah,

268
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,839
Speaker 1: someday if I retire, I'm just going to go high

269
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: school to high school and go Nope, We're going to

270
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: redo it. It's got to be something. It has to

271
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: do with your area.

272
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 2: So like I'm a Blue Valley North Mustang, just being honest,

273
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 2: not a lot of Mustangs running around, not in Lee,

274
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 2: would not many.

275
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to think what it would be though,

276
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

277
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 2: I don't know me.

278
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: We'll work on that.

279
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: We'll get a committee together. We have a listener in

280
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: Avon Park, Florida, Kristen is in Perth, Australia. I want

281
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: to go to Perth, Australia too. I think that'd be

282
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: really cool.

283
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: DTK and Perth, Australia.

284
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,079

00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,599

00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 2: we heard from Bill in Cambodia. Well, Todd reached out

316
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,440

318
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: So we're supposed to do that well, helping connect these people.

319
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: So Bill, if you were listening, Todd and Mary want

Speaker 2: so I can connect to you and that will be great. Lastly,

333
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: I have some trivia from Steve. Steve is a listener,

334
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: great guy, of course. Oh he's told me I forget

335
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: off the top of my head. But Steve's great Perth.

336
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: He's not for birth, but I still want to go

337
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: to Berth. Okay, this is a tough trivia question. Are

338
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 2: you ready for it?

339
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

340
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: And this is historical. This isn't like current. It's a

341
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: historical trivia question. So what Chiefs and Raiders wide receivers

342
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 2: went to the same high school. Here's the parameters. Both

343
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 2: of these players played their whole career for either team.

344
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: So the Chief's receiver played his whole career with Kansas City.

345
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: The Raiders receiver played his whole career with them. They

346
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: both won Super Bowls with their respective team. And this

347
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: is kind of going way back, so this isn't anything recent,

348
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: but a Chiefs and Raider wide receiver both played their

349
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: whole career with their team, both won a super Bowl

350
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 2: with their team, and they went to the same high school.

351
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: Let them just come throw out Otis Taylor. Yes, yes,

352
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: but there's one. Okay, Now, I got to find the

353
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: writer that would be in that group.

354
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 2: That was impressive though.

355
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: You went to preview and am so I'm trying to

356
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: think Rhodis was from originally one of those Raider receivers.

357
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: It's too Cliff Branch.

358
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: No, it's not. It's Cliff Branch. Cliff Branch, you got it.

359
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm like, you got it. Let's go to Perth. This

360
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: is ridiculous, celebrate. I was thinking, there's I mean, you

361
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: know everything. I was like, still, that's very obscure and random.

362
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: Good job you knew does know everything? You know? Where else?

363
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: I want to go? Maybe we do this? Where are

364
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: we thinking? Can we go to Perth? To Sweden? You

365
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: know where we're going to stop? Where Athens? Grease?

366
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: Okay, you know what why?

367
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: We're going to check out on George Carloftus, let's do

368
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: it because you had a chance to talk with George

369
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: in too big plays that George made in that game

370
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. But George, to me epitomizes what justin

371
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: read laid out for our defense in the fact, unselfish,

372
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: doesn't chase sacks, super efficient, defends the run, defends the pass,

373
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: defends tunnel screens, super smart and super tough. He is

374
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: a great prototype for this defense.

375
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 2: He's a an awesome season. He is the prototypical kind

376
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 2: of player that you take in the first round and

377
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: he just gets better and better every single year. He's

378
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 2: turning into one of the best pass rushers in the NFL.

379
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: And like Mitch said, I had a chance to catch

380
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 2: up with George a few days ago. All right, we're

381
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: doing now by George Carloftis and George A lot to

382
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: talk about here, But looking at last week against the Raiders,

383
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 2: what's the mentality like when the Raiders take over, there's

384
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: a sudden change inside the three yard line. You guys

385
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: go out there, but you make him earn every single

386
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 2: yard they don't get in the end zone. How do

387
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 2: you explain that? How do you explain making sure they

388
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 2: couldn't score there.

389
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 3: You know, for us, we take a lot of pride

390
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 3: in being able to stop the opponent in critical situations

391
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 3: and being able to have the offensive back after a

392
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 3: sudden change was huge for us. You know, some will

393
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 3: practice all the time and just being able to get

394
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 3: there prevent them from scoring any points. That was huge

395
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: for the moment of the game.

396
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: When you stop on the first three downs, are you

397
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 2: almost hoping they go for it on fourth down?

398
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, sure, yeah, you know, ideally you want to

399
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: hold them, you know what, you want to keep them

400
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: from scoring four You know, we call it four points

401
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 3: because then the field goal touchdown the type thing. But

402
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: U for us going then you know, we stopped them

403
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: three times, then they get a fourth chance. We have

404
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: a lot of confidence we stopped them three times.

405
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 2: So it's amazing how this defense has grown really since

406
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 2: you've been here in your draft class. It's cool because

407
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: if you go back to the Draft Fest when you

408
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: were on stage, Leo was out there, Trip McDuffie, just

409
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: all you guys, and to think how you've helped this

410
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: defense become what it is. I mean, do you remember

411
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 2: the last time you guys allowed thirty points? It's been

412
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: a long time. It's been a while.

413
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if we did that.

414
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: We didn't last year it was.

415
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: The Eagle Super Bowl was the last time. It's been

416
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: that long. And yeah, just how much pride do you

417
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 2: guys take every single week and making sure that you

418
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: put the offense in the position to win the game,

419
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: and that the opposition, no matter who it is, they're

420
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: not scoring thirty points.

421
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you know, we have all the confidence in the

422
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 3: world in our offense, and we know if we could

423
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: keep the opponent under a certain amount of points that

424
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: we have a pretty good chance to win.

425
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: You know.

426
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: So we like to play as a team here at

427
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 3: the Chiefs obviously, you know, the offense has trust in

428
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 3: the defense vice versa, and we kind of play off

429
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 3: of each other defensively. We love playing with each other.

430
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 3: We have a lot of confidence. We have a lot

431
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 3: of fun when we play together. And you know, we've

432
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: played it together for quite some time. It feels like now,

433
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: so it's a.

434
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: Lot of fun. What's crazy, you're a veteran now, but

435
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: it still feels like you just got here. But I

436
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: know you're already one of the best defensive players in

437
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: the NFL. I'm sure you credit Spags quite a bit

438
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: and they came the player that you are. Of course,

439
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 2: he's talked a little bit about Spags and his influence

440
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: on you.

441
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean Spags does first of all, Spags does

442
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 3: everything out of love. You know, you got to know

443
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 3: that about spect He does everything out of love. But

444
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 3: he he's always going to get on you a certain way.

445
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 3: You know, you have so much respect for the guy,

446
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: you know, with all the stuff he's done in his

447
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: career that you almost same thing with Coach Reed. You

448
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 3: just don't want to let them down. So when you

449
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 3: do something you can see the disappointment. You know that

450
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: if it's something like negative obviously, or or when they

451
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 3: ask you something, you're gonna do it no matter what,

452
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 3: just because of how much respect and love they've shown you.

453
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like that.

454
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 3: You know, Spa demands better out of every single every

455
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: single player on that team on the defense, So definitely.

456
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 2: I remember some of the guys talking about de Bet

457
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: in the off season and now Spags I think on

458
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 2: the first day of camp talked about how he had

459
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: a really great defense one year in New York. Next

460
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: year that kind of fell off and you guys were like,

461
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: we're not gonna We're not gonna that happen. Yeah, how

462
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: do you guys come together? And I mean you've shown

463
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 2: that already this year. How can you explain just the camaraderie,

464
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: the the mentality of this group as a whole that

465
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 2: we're going to be even better than we were last year.

466
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, just like my previous answer, you know,

467
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: it all stems from love. You know, we have a

468
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: group of guys here that we love playing with each other.

469
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: We get along all We get along great, not just

470
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 3: with each other, with our coaches too. When there's a

471
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 3: lot of mutual trust and respect with that. And you know,

472
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 3: when you have love, trust respect, and you know, great

473
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 3: things happen. So we try to demand better out of

474
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 3: each other when it starts. That started all the way

475
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: in the off season. You know, just try to keep

476
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 3: getting better in every asset of your game. You know,

477
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 3: for me, the defensive and pass rushing, stopping the run,

478
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 3: you know, just little details with that, and then when

479
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 3: every person on that field takes care of what they

480
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 3: need to do, ultimately it'll come together as one big

481
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 3: hole and you know, lead to wins.

482
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: And how about this run? Defense, because it's amazing you

483
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: guys have faced Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, John Robinson, JK.

484
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: Dobbins could go on and on. None of those guys

485
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: topped sixty rushing yards on you. And especially as a

486
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 2: pass rusher, that's a mindset thing. Absolutely, Like some pass

487
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,719
Speaker 2: rushers they don't care about that. I know a lot

488
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: a lot of guys.

489
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 3: There's two guys on our defensive line that you know,

490
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 3: it's natural in their position, the nose guard that don't

491
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: get a lot of love and credit. You know, I'll

492
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 3: give credit to Mike Panell and Derek Noddy. You know,

493
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 3: those guys have been killing it. Maybe they don't all

494
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 3: get the recognition, you know, just because there's not as

495
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: many stats, but you know those guys are on sung

496
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: heroes for us, you know, not not just them. You know,

497
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: we got everybody that's that's ultimately playing their responsibility and

498
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: playing discipline football. But when it's stopping the run, it

499
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 3: starts with the nose guards, you know, being physical, being disciplined,

500
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: Triggles obviously toybody else too, but those those men in

501
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: the middle there starts.

502
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 2: We're you happy for Big Mike getting that force final

503
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: and I was so happy for him.

504
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great.

505
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: Looking at the Bucks. Final question, it's obviously a good offense.

506
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: They lost a couple of their receivers, we all know that,

507
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: but still really good offense. What are your expectations for

508
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: this game? How do we contain Baker Mayfield in this offense?

509
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely? You know, when you watch film on them, you

510
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 3: can't help but have a lot of respect for them.

511
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 3: You know they've lost obviously, like you said, some playmakers,

512
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: but they they haven't lost the beat. It seems like

513
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: offensively they got starts, the great old line obviously, the

514
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 3: quarterback you mentioned, he can make all the throws.

515
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: He's mobile.

516
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: You know, they got great backs, great receivers, tight ends, everything.

517
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 3: We got a lot of respect for them.

518
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna have our hands full.

519
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 3: You know, they're a good offense, but we'll be ready.

520
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: Well, here are good defense too, one of the best

521
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: defenses in the NFL. I think it is the best

522
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 2: defense in the league. And this guy is a big

523
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 2: reason why. All right, great stuff there from George. So

524
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: fired up about him. I love his motor, I love

525
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 2: obviously his athleticism, his ability, but also just who he

526
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: is as a guy. He just comes in here and

527
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: wants to be a part of this defense and be

528
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: a big part of it, and we're seeing all that

529
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 2: work payoff.

530
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: Twenty years from now, we're going to look back at

531
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: this defense and realize how remarkable it was. Yeah, I

532
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: mean in every way, shape or form. It's when you

533
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: look back at like the Super Bowl four defense of

534
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and you're going on my Hall of Fame,

535
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame, Hall of fame. They

536
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: were very much like this group. Cerebral, tough, mature, could

537
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: handle adversity, these guys up and down the line. That's

538
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. If you can find the Justin Reid

539
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: interview from the Chiefs Kingdom Show on Monday night, find it.

540
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: I just sat there and was mesmerized as he laid

541
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: it out. I go, I've never earned anybody articulated as

542
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: well as he did of why this defense does what

543
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: it does and the challenge they have this week as

544
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: we go to look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the

545
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: next stop on the train track, and.

546
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: Just staying with this defense for a moment. They've held

547
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: twenty eight consecutive opponents under twenty eight points in the

548
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: modern NFL. Twenty eight points really isn't even that much.

549
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 2: I mean, team score twenty eight points all the time,

550
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: and think about if it's like garbage time or something

551
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 2: just that you'd think at some point over the last

552
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: year and a half the Chiefs would allow thirty points

553
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: to somebody, and they haven't. And they've done it against

554
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: a lot of great teams, teams like the Lions, the

555
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, the Bills, the Ravens, the Bengals, just

556
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: really anyone who's good in the NFL. The Chiefs have

557
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: probably played them over the last year and a half,

558
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: and the common denominator is none of those teams have

559
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: scored more than twenty seven points. It's just incredible. It's

560
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 2: the longest streak for any team in seventeen years. And

561
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: let's try to keep it going here against the Buccaneers.

562
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: And who's standing at the next train station. It is

563
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. You can Henri Feisty Mercuriel. But to me,

564
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: one of my favorite stats going into this game, we

565
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: know how good the Chiefs defense is in blitzing. The

566
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: blitz rating for a quarterback playing the Chiefs this year.

567
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are by far the best team in this

568
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: category defensively is a rating of forty nine point five

569
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: to four, which is brutal right. When the Chiefs blitz

570
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: the opposing quarterback, Meltz, Mayfield is second best in the

571
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: NFL versus the blitz at one thirty six point thirty four. Wow,

572
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: to me, that's going to be a bit of the

573
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: That's going to be a crux of the matter in

574
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: many ways in this game because Mayfield can improvise. We've

575
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: seen how effective he has been even in trying to

576
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: adjust without Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, but he did

577
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: so against Atlanta. It's just avoiding the mistakes. But if

578
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: you pressure him and blitz him, who's going to win

579
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: this battle of the best against the second best?

580
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 2: And Baker is fearless. I think that's the best compliment

581
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: I can give him. He's not afraid of anything or anybody.

582
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: And I think that's why he's so good against the

583
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: blitz because he's going to stand in there and deliver

584
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 2: the football. He's not going to worry about what's going

585
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: to happen. And I respect him a lot. He's had

586
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: a really nice career, really a resurgence here in Tampa Bay.

587
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: You look at his numbers right now. He's having the

588
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 2: best year of his career and really almost every category.

589
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 2: He has twenty one touchdown passes already. His career high

590
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: as twenty eight, which was last season. He's going to

591
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: blow right by that. Now you mentioned now Evans and

592
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: god Win are gone. That is very important because Mike

593
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 2: Evans and Chris Godwin form one of the best wide

594
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 2: receiver tandems in the entire NFL. They've combined for seventy

595
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 2: six catches, nine hundred and eleven receiving yards, and eleven

596
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: touchdowns this year through the air. It's very difficult to

597
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: replace that production. They're going to turn to Kate Otten

598
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 2: tight end, pretty good player. He has thirty six catches

599
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 2: for three hundred and forty four yards and three touchdowns.

600
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 2: Had nine catches and two touchdowns on ten targets last week.

601
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: They have Jalen Nickmllan maybe a distant cousin of mine,

602
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: spelled a little bit differently, but still the rookie Atta Washington,

603
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 2: Trey Palmer, second eear player out of Nebraska is there.

604
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 2: So they have capable players, but not having Gobwin, not

605
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 2: having Evans is a big, big deal and it does

606
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: kind of skew the numbers a little bit. Where Bakers

607
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 2: used to having these two all Pro receivers at his

608
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: disposal and now he doesn't, so it changes things quite

609
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 2: a bit. I'm curious to see how the Bucks choose

610
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 2: to attack us without those guys.

611
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: But the Atlanta game gave the indication how they're going

612
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: to adjust until they get Evans back. They're not going

613
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: to get godin back, but they become tight end running

614
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: back centric. It Butt still effective. He had three hundred

615
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: and thirty yards against Atlanta. But here's the other piece

616
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: of the Atlanta game that goes back to my blitz

617
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: stat is that this is a good offensive line led

618
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: by Tristan Wurfs who switched from right tackle to left tackle,

619
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: and he's been very good. Fifty dropbacks against Atlanta by

620
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield man and zero sacks. There weren't even that

621
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: many pressures. So can the Chiefs blitzing or otherwise get

622
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: pressure in Baker Mayfield with a good offensive line, but

623
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: the running backs you mentioned Kate Otten, the targets would

624
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: weigh up for him. Good tight end. But Rashad White,

625
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: a Kan's City kid for the second time in three weeks,

626
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: We're going to play a center high school yellow jacket. Wow,

627
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: think of that.

628
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: That's crazy.

629
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: Now. I hope that Rashad White doesn't throat punch Patrick

630
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: Mahomes like Malik Collins did, who was the last center

631
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: yellow jacket who played against his place for the forty

632
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: nine ers. But like, come on, dude, it's like it's

633
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: not an mma here. Yeah. But Rashad White interesting went

634
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: to Nebraska Carney, played Division two football for the Lopers

635
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: there for a while, then Juco, then Arizona State, and

636
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: is a really really good running back for the Tampa

637
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers. But the guy that catches my attention is

638
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: Bucky Irving because I think this is an emerging star.

639
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: He's really one of the top rookie running backs when

640
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 1: you look at all the statistics, and a very capable receiver.

641
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 1: So without his top two wide receivers, Baker Mayfield is

642
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: going to figure out a way to get it done.

643
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: And right now it's the tight ends and running backs.

644
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: Those two runners form a really nice combination and they've

645
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: almost split the carries right down the middle. We'll see

646
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 2: a lot of both of those guys. You're right to

647
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 2: like Irving. He's good he's averaging more than five yards

648
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: per carry this year. And then Marshad White can really

649
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 2: catch the ball out of the backfield. He's third on

650
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: the team with twenty eight catches and that's fifth in

651
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: the NFL among all running backs. So I'm with you,

652
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: We're going to see a lot of tight ends, a

653
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: lot of running backs, running backs catching the ball out

654
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: of the backfield. Got to be ready for that. But

655
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: this is a good team still. I mean, you take

656
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: out Mike Evans, you take out Chris Goblin, they're still

657
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: very talented. And like I said, Baker Mayfield is of

658
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: absolutely no one, so he'll come out firing. They could

659
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: have won that game against Atlanta last week. But what's

660
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 2: kind of interesting with Mayfield as well, he does have

661
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 2: nine interceptions. That's tied for the most in the NFL.

662
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: And I know all the non Chiefs fans that are

663
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: listening are going to run and say tie with Patrick Mahomes.

664
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: I get it.

665
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 2: Not every interception is created the same though. We all

666
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: know this. So Pro Football Focus has a stat called

667
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 2: turnover worthy plays, and basically what they do is they

668
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: they take out the tip passes, you know, the balls

669
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 2: that maybe hit or receiver in the hands and bounce

670
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 2: off into the DB's hands. They take those out and

671
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: they kind of figure out, how many turnover worthy plays

672
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 2: have you committed? Well, Mayfield, that's fourteen turnover worthy plays.

673
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: That's second most in the NFL. Patrick Mahomes has seven,

674
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: which is eighteenth in the NFL. And it's funny. Patrick

675
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes has less turnover worthy plays than he has interceptions.

676
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 2: So there's some bad luck involved with that, is what

677
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say. But with Mayfield, the nine interceptions

678
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: are more tip passes. Yeah, that seems to me like

679
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: that's the demarcation line there exactly. That's not a turnover

680
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: worthy play?

681
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: Do we know?

682
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 2: So I wouldn't assume. So this is all subjective in

683
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: the end, like someone's watching this and deciding it. And

684
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 2: who's the someone I don't know in the PFF in

685
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 2: the basement quarters. Yes, But the point is Patrick Mahomes,

686
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: yeahs nine interceptions, but they're not all necessarily on him.

687
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: Where the numbers at least tell us here. Baker Mayfield

688
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: has thrown nine picks, he has fourteen turnover worthy plays.

689
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield's interceptions to me speak a little louder than

690
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes do. So this defense, which has been opportunistic.

691
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: Big Mike Panell had that force fumble on Gardner Minshew

692
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: last week and the week prior we had three interceptions

693
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: take the ball away from this team. It obviously creates

694
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 2: some opportunities for our offense. And I mean the Bucks

695
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: have twelve giveaways as a team, it's fifth most in

696
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: the NFL. So kind of a similar recipe we've seen

697
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: the last couple weeks defensively could work on Monday.

698
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: We'll close this way this next train stop the Tampa

699
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night football. The mystery here is

700
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: the tam defense. They have been riddled, to be honest,

701
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: and the Bucks started three and one. They're one in three,

702
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: so now they're setting at four and four. But a

703
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: lot of it is big plays given up by this defense.

704
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: This is still a defense. So these are gonna be

705
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: familiar names to you. You remember them from Vidavilla, who

706
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: destroyed the line of scrimmage in Super Bowl fifty five.

707
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: Levante David for you Nebraska Cornhusker fans, who has been

708
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: one of the more underrated impact linebackers in the league.

709
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: Injury situation, but he's been fighting n Twine. Winfield Junior

710
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: got paid big time Yankees highest paid dB in the

711
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 1: league right now. But the point is this defense has

712
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: been pushed around, shoved around big plays against them. Kirk

713
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: Cousins has nailed these guys twice, and so the Chiefs

714
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 1: have an opportunity, I think, to get big chunk plays

715
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: against this Bucks defense, which, other than the turnovers, is

716
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: the reason they're four and four.

717
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point, they've allowed thirty five plays of

718
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: twenty or more yards, fifth most in the NFL. They've

719
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: allowed at least twenty seven points in each of their

720
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: last four games, and they're allowing one hundred thirty two

721
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: rushing yards per game. Now, they played the Ravens this year,

722
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: so that kind of skews it a little bit, but

723
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: if you dig into it, I mean they've allowed one

724
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty eight yards to the Commanders on the ground,

725
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty nine rushing yards to the Lions,

726
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty six to the Broncos, one hundred

727
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 2: and twenty nine to the Falcons, and they're allowing overall

728
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: on the year five point one to nine yards per carry,

729
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: third highest straight in the NFL. So we've seen the

730
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: Chiefs really commit to being a power running team at times,

731
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: with Kareem Hunt just getting a lot of carries. And

732
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: I was telling you on the bus when we were

733
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 2: leaving Las Vegas, Kareem might be the MVP of the

734
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: offense at this point in the year just because of

735
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 2: what he's been able to do handling the load and

736
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 2: getting tough yards. He had so many tough yards against

737
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 2: the Raiders last week. There's an opportunity again for that

738
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: for Kareem to have a really productive day and that

739
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: opens things up for everyone else. We'll have another full

740
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 2: week of DeAndre Hopkins in practice, maybe we'll see more

741
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: from him if you're worthy. Had a productive day against

742
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: the Raiders, had some drops but made up for that

743
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 2: with a touchdown at the very end. And Travis Kelsey

744
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: had his best game of the season. So let's run

745
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 2: the ball against these guys and things will open up

746
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 2: in the passing game.

747
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: The big stat always and spags will talk about it

748
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 1: for a defense is scoring defense, and the Chiefs right

749
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: now is scoring defense. The best they've been since the

750
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: mid nineties, even better than a year ago. But I'm

751
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: sorry the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Carolina Panthers are the

752
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: only two teams that have allowed more points than the

753
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Might be time to hit the next

754
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: train station and score some points as the Chiefs try

755
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: to stay unbeaten on Monday Night Football
