00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: Team in front of you. Mitch Holters with you along

Speaker 1: spider Man and Shop. I will say this, make sure

20
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: you play the twenty nineteen Patriots don't play that. It's

21
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: not the team you played in the AFC Championship game.

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: It's not the team you blew out in seventeen. It's

23
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: not the team you have trey to forty game in

24
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: the regular season last year. And it's not the Patriots

25
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: the last twenty years. It's this team. Now, football, at

26
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: any level, there are times you play a ghost. Don't

27
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: play a ghost. This team's good, New Englands good, they're

28
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: ten and two. But play this team. What about that dynamic? Yeah,

29
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: we hear Sam Domino on Monday Night Football say one

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: of the biggest gaffs ever had. The quarterback pisition goes

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: to the sideline telling everybody, Hey man, I'm seeing ghost

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: and at that point you know the defense had him.

33
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: When you think when you are seeing guys come into

34
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: attack you, they ain't even there. It's impossible to play

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: that position at quarterback. You can't lead a team when

36
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: you're seeing blitzers or pressure and the other team ain't

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: even bringing ain't even bringing no pressure. So we know

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: where that that phrase comes from. But we're using in

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: a term where we don't want. We don't want our

40
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: team this year. The two thousand and nineteen Chiefs that

41
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: think they need to be playing the Patriots of old.

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 1: They're not playing against the the Patriots. They have Gronkowski,

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: they're not playing against the Patriots. With Falk at the

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: running back and Randy Moss said the wide receiver, any

45
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: of the West Walker back at the slot receiver. This

46
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: team is very defined about who they would like to attack,

47
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: where they would like to attack. And of course the

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: strength of this team is definitely swapped from offense now

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: to defense. Their defense is what most teams need to

50
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: be fearing, not Tom Brady in their offense. And it's

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: no disrespect to the twenty nineteen New England Patriots. So

52
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: don't get us wrong and send us the Foxboro and

53
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: they listen to it anyway they listen, So this will

54
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: be in code. We've got some cryptid messages out there

55
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs Kingdom so that the Patriots won't crack

56
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: the code. No disrespect, it's just you alluded to it.

57
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: This is a different Patriot team. They're doing things differently.

58
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I'll get to them in the second quarter who they

59
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: remind me of. But this is a Patriot team. But

60
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: you've seen this as an athlete, and when you're at

61
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: you are you guys would play some bigger schools or

62
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: in your ten years in the National Football League. You

63
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: cannot play the reputation of a team. I've seen games

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: broadcast games where you're like, wait a minute, these teams

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: are way more even than the perception is. And this

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: has turned into a heck of a rivalry now. I mean,

67
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have put one hundred and twelve points on

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: these dudes the last three three times they played them.

69
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: But mentally and emotionally and physically, just to prepare yourself

70
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: and even the Chiefs Kingdom to prepare themselves. Just play

71
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: this team. Play this game. Don't think about the playoffs.

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Don't think about last year in January. Play this December

73
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: second week against this team. Yeah, we talked about, you know,

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: um seeing ghosts on the radio. You hear you hear

75
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: radio guys all the time talking about like who's the

76
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: favorite in the a FC. Oh, you know, the Ravens

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: are playing great right now, but hey man, you know

78
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: New England until you beat them, Um, you know, the

79
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: road to the playoffs still goes to New England. And

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at them, like, have you been watching the

81
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: NFL season? Have you? Have you really watched any game

82
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: this year? Did you watch them struggle to be Buffalo

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: by block? Did you watch them I'm struggle against the

84
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins and struggle look against the Jets, barely Jets team

85
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: that only has a few wins. Um, have you seen

86
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: this team trip tripping against the Cowboys? Against the Cowboys

87
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: team that's six and six, struggling like like like this

88
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: vaulted New England dynasty that you want to say the

89
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: championship to the FC crown goes through New England. That

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: team just hasn't been playing like lights out. They haven't

91
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: been playing the way that we've seen the Patriots of old.

92
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: Uh dominate their division and dominant. They've won games. You

93
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: have to take your hat off. You got to give

94
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: him credit. They've won games, but the way they've won

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: it has been a completely different way than historically. The

96
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: one historical thing that we can take claim to here

97
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 1: is the fact that you have the two active winning

98
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: as coaches in the NFL. UM on the radio on Sunday,

99
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about this. You think, well, let's go

100
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: back in time, Let's go back. I wonder what it's

101
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: like to have Hallis go against Lombardi right, the Bears

102
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: against the Packers, or or let's see Landry against Schulett.

103
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: You got that in this game. The cool thing to

104
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: me about this game is the whole punch counter punch chest.

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: What's what's he thinking? Because to me, we all know

106
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick and the genius of Belichick, But to me,

107
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is one of the few guys that Belichick's

108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: going what's he thinking over there? And I don't think

109
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of those guys in that category. No,

110
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: it's not. I mean, he knows that the team he

111
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: has to beat in the postseason, he's thinking about the Patriots. Um,

112
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: he's thinking about the uh, the Ravens offense. Right, He's

113
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be thinking about that for the year. How

114
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: if if Lamar comes back in this building? How if

115
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: I got to go to the ball? How am I

116
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: gonna defend that that that triple headed monster over there?

117
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: And my home? Like, how am I gonna defend the MVP?

118
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: Those are the two things that Bill Belichick knows. At

119
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 1: some point in the season, it's gonna come down to

120
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,719
Speaker 1: him having to defend Pat Mahomes Uh, maybe Deshaun Watson

121
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: or Lamar Uh, Lamar Lamar Jackson. Now, and those are

122
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,239
Speaker 1: the three the three opponents that Heat probably is standing

123
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: up at late at night preparing some willie nilly uh,

124
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: some gadget defenses to try to trick these guys, because

125
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: he knows it's it's gonna be a possession ball game.

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a game where you gotta possess the

127
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: ball last, and you gotta be in striking distance if

128
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: you ever, if you have a chance to win and

129
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: you have the ball last, is a good, good percentage

130
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: of chances you're gonna win that ball game. Yeah, we're

131
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna get it in the third core a little bit.

132
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: The whole trick com smoke him and um and my

133
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: home is being prepared to play against it. Belichick also, though,

134
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: has to come to the realization the last three times

135
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: he's played the Chiefs, he has given up forty two,

136
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: forty and thirty, even though he shut out the Chiefs

137
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: at halftime in the AFC Championship Game. Second quarter of

138
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: our defending the podcast, play the team in front of you.

139
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: I have seen the twenty nineteen Patriots before, and get

140
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: ready for this drum roll on our podcast network, the

141
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Kansas City Chiefs, and he reads first team,

142
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: the team that went from two and fourteen to nine

143
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: to zero. The reason. Let me just go down the

144
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: list here. Defensively, they have six they have twenty nine takeaways,

145
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: twenty nine twenty interceptions, and they've come from all three

146
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: levels D line backers DBS two. They have six non

147
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: offensive scores, six touchdowns not from their offense, two scoop

148
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and scores, two pick sixes. They have three block kicks barbershop,

149
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: two of which they return for touchdowns. This is not

150
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: the Patriot team that you alluded to her that is

151
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: slinging the ball all over the endfield or slinging along

152
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: to Randy Marsh. They're figuring out different ways to win,

153
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: and they wait for you to make the mistake. They lurk,

154
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: they lurk, they lurk. You make a mistake. Wham they

155
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: got you. Yeah, they got you. Because, like you said,

156
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: they have you playing the team of three years ago.

157
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: You take risks, you take chances because you say the

158
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: Patriots are gonna put up forty points tonight. So I

159
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: gotta go for it on fourth, Dan, I gotta do

160
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: something that's outside you know, that doesn't make I gotta

161
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: I gotta, uh, I gotta, I gotta make sure that

162
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: our punt wings are are moved in enough moving. I

163
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: gotta make sure we we we adjust to the zone

164
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: side versus the man side, UM in punt rush, punt coverage. UM.

165
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: They have you doing so many things that are just

166
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: like not fundamentally saying football because they have you chasing

167
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: those ghosts. But if we talk about those special team

168
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: and those defensive plays they've made, you would have thought

169
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: that they have won every game by twenty points if

170
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: you take an average offense and add that kind of defense.

171
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: There was one point, I think going into Week seven

172
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: where they've only gave it up one trip into the

173
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: red zone in seven weeks of NFL football, the offensive

174
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: played the team they've played has only visited the red

175
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: zone against their defense one time. That is lights out

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: defense giving up one scoring the first seven games, Like,

177
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 1: that's lights out. That's the kind of defense that you

178
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: put together with an average offense and you win bay

179
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: seventeen points every game. But we haven't saw that their

180
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: offensive struggles have been saved by their defenses being out

181
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: of this world almost. But they're now coming back to

182
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: the pack that that outstanding out of this world. Defense

183
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: is starting to regress a little bit back to the pack,

184
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: and they're relying on their offense now to try to

185
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: make plays, extend the game, make a play at the end,

186
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: and they weren't able to do it against the Ravens,

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: and they weren't able to do it last week. Yeah,

188
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen changed. Love that team because they got

189
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: the chase back on the map after a miserable twenty twelve. However,

190
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: that team also came back to the pack in December

191
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: and losing the forty five forty four playoff game at

192
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: the Colts, he came back to the pack. Things started

193
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: to even out on that team. Although I loved that team,

194
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: but that was building block team. That wasn't a team

195
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: to make the run for the show. Because this goes

196
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: to another point about this New England team, and you've

197
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: alluded to it, not just their defense. We mentioned the

198
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: six or the three block kicks. Three block kicks, there's

199
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: only five. Then the rest of the league thirty teams

200
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: have five combined. These guys have three. But the other

201
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: one is the twenty thirteen Chiefs resemblance in that commanding

202
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: special teams. The New England page. It's are number one

203
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL at their average starting field position. They

204
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: start on the average at the thirty three. They are

205
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: also number one where the opponent starts theirs, which starts

206
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: at the twenty five, and at home it's even more pronounced.

207
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: So it's if you can imagine the football field on

208
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: a grid, just look at it on a computer chart.

209
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: The thirteen Chiefs always had the field position in their favor.

210
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: That's what the Patriots have done. Yeah, they block kicks,

211
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: they scoop and score, and oh, we'll just have field

212
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: position all day. It's a unique study of these guys

213
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 1: because it is different from some of their teams to

214
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: the past. Yeah, it's and it's caused them to evolve

215
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: and find a whole another way to play that Patriot way.

216
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: It's not the it's not the old. Just give Tom

217
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: the ball, he'll find a way to run in the past.

218
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: He'll find a way to continue to get first down,

219
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: first down touchdowns. Um, he'll find Edelman open um. You know,

220
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: they they've they've found some people defensively have found ways

221
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: to kind of stambul the offense um, forcing Tom Brady

222
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: to go some to some receivers he's not really comfortable

223
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: with it right now. Um. During the season and their

224
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: running game hasn't been able to build them out. So

225
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: it's been their special teams, their defense, that field position,

226
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: um has been saving them, causing them short fields. Um.

227
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: They've gone through a couple of field goal kickers, which

228
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: is uncommon for them. Uh, a franchise they had and

229
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: at Vitetary there for half his life, and then Kowski

230
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: there for the other half his life. Throughout this Patriot dynasty,

231
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: they've only had two kickers to rely on, and they've

232
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: been to two of the most reliable kickers in NFL history. UM.

233
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: So that special team coach, he doesn't have that luxury

234
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: to low on that anymore either. UM. So now they're

235
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: on an additional kicker with the appodict dribbing. The surgery

236
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: that the folk pendicide is that he went through. Its

237
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: forced them to another kicker. Um. So they're facing some

238
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: challenges there. Um. But even after all those challenges, Uh,

239
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 1: you gotta take your hat off, because they found a

240
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: way to make sure they have at least one point

241
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: more than their opponent. Yeah, they've brought in the fourth

242
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: bath guy for one week and he's gone. He's like

243
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: a doctor evil and Austin fires on that he's objective. Seat,

244
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: he's down the pit, right, He's gone. But we now

245
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: go to it's halftime, halftime halftime of Heart Defending the

246
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: Kingdom podcast, which is entitle play the Team in front

247
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: of You. We get ready to go for the third

248
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: quarter of our Defending the Kingdom podcast to play the

249
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: team in front of you Chief against the Patriots this

250
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: week in Foxborough. All right, now we're going into the

251
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 1: next portion of the halftime and it deals with Patrick

252
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes being prepared even better for this game. He has

253
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: played the Patriots twice in a fourteen months period, but

254
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: I think two barbershop the last two weeks. The last

255
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: two weeks in grinding out the game in Mexico City,

256
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: playing in really tough conditions against the Oakland Raiders and

257
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: not having glossy stats but making the critical play when

258
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: he's needed to has made a huge difference. Yeah, you know,

259
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes is definitely matured, I think on and off

260
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: the field, doing great things, being able to um not

261
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: only us as a quarterback, UM show that he's been

262
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: able to, I mean throw the ball down the field,

263
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: go to the running backs, um rush uses legs fight

264
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: coming back from injury. I mean, he's done in a

265
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: in a season with most people need a whole career

266
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: to do and in having to go against what everybody

267
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: would call the goat, right, he's going against the goat

268
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: UM with Tom Brady. Tom Brady has set the mark

269
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: of what quarterbacks from now until UH in the future

270
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: will all be graded by. UH. And it's the ring count.

271
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: He has so many rings. He's been there, He's been

272
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: in the primetime games. He knows how to lead guys

273
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: when when when when the offense ain't going right, he's

274
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: been he kept them in every ball game and found

275
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: ways to win. UH. Coming back in the Super Bowl

276
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: against the UH Atlanta Falcons being down, UH coming back

277
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: against the Seattle Seahawks when they're down. I mean, he's

278
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: he's battle tested and ready. So there's no surprise in

279
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: tom Brady. UM. But I think Pat Mahomes is way

280
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: beyond his years. Yeah, and there's has been some surprising,

281
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: UH surprises for Patrick Mahomes again to play the how

282
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: you the Hookers Pokus kind of defense and it's it's

283
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: solid defense. It's just it's like playing basketball against the

284
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: matchup zone. It's this man or is this zone? What

285
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: is it? Well, it's both rich Nie either and the

286
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: fact that they will give you something pre snap and

287
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: then within a second show you something from a different snap. Um.

288
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: But so I you know, I'll go back to the

289
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: interception that he threw at the end of the half,

290
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: that's in the game last year in Foxboro talking about

291
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or Dante high Tower. He baits him into

292
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: the interception at the very beginning of the game. I mean,

293
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: those are things that the Patriots will do to you.

294
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: The sack that they got Mahomes on near the end

295
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: of the half of the AFC Championship game, changing looks,

296
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: different looks. I talked to Patrick this week. To me,

297
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: I just think he's more ready to play these guys

298
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: and the defense in front of him. Yeah, and we

299
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: got to hope that those those mistakes, UM that he

300
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: made in that game when he when he you know,

301
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: felt the linebacker sugaring in there and he okay, he's

302
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna be gone, and I'm able to you know, I'm

303
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: able to throw it to Kelsey, throw it up to Kelsey.

304
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: There's not something that he's able to. Um, He's able

305
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: to learn from right, able to grow from um and

306
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: I think that at that moment in that game, he

307
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: saw it. And that's when a pat strength. His strength

308
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: is the fact that he has a real short memory

309
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: when he comes to interceptions of bad throws and anything.

310
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: He's he's really grown that. He has a three point

311
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: shooter's mentality. He has that Steph Curry, the best shot

312
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: is my next shot. I'm always open, I'm always ready,

313
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: and he's always ready to throw that dagger. And being

314
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: an MVP with as much talent in his arm, being

315
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: able to rely on the running game, rely on that

316
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: offense to pound out a couple of first downs, and

317
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: let's not forget the maturity of being able to when

318
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: it's not there when the big play over the top

319
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: to Robinson and to Cheetah, when the defense is playing

320
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: super super off and soft and making you through underneath.

321
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: He's shown time and time again he'll take what the

322
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: defense is given him, first down, first down, and then

323
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: get him with a touchdown. To me, that was the

324
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: biggest deal of the last two weeks, as she has

325
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: taken what the defense has given him and not been

326
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: over anxious. And I mean he's ended up putting up

327
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: and making key plays. A reminder again within the third

328
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: quarter of this Defending the Kingdom podcast, it has brought

329
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: to you by three sixty Vodka, the official vodka of

330
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs. Again perfect for the holiday season,

331
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: right made right here in Kansas City, the hometown Chiefs

332
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: Kingdom Vodka and great for your next tailgate which is

333
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: coming up next week against the Denver Broncos. But it's interesting.

334
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: So if we're gonna do the Steph Curry analogy here

335
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes and I was on shows last year

336
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: in the Bay Area and they were going, who's they

337
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: remind you? If I said Steph Curry. They have almost

338
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: laughed me off the show they had me on later

339
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: in the year. They're like, oh, no, okay, we see it.

340
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: But this is now Steph Curry looking to pass the

341
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: ball to Draymond Green. But they've got somebody different on him,

342
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: meaning the Patriots will do some weird stuff here. They'll

343
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: put Steph on Gilmore. They're not afraid. They put him

344
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: on Nick Falk in the Eagles game. They put him

345
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: on a tight end. There's times with Gilmore they could

346
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: put him on Kelsey and say we're gonna play Kelsey,

347
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: man and man no Stephan Gilmore. Yeah, defend um, you

348
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: know I mean. And that's one of the things with Belichick.

349
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: He's he's so defensively intelligent. He's been able to tweak, maneuver,

350
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: manage his defense that just because you see Gilmore to

351
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: a certain side of the field, you still don't know

352
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: who he's actually covering. You don't even covering by himself

353
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: or underneath coverage. You don't know if he's in a

354
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: zero technique, and you don't know because he'll he'll take

355
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: Gilmore take away one of your weapons, then he'll bracket

356
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: with two of his other defenders another weapon, and then

357
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: he'll allow the seven guys up front just to take

358
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: away the run game and keep a spy on the

359
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 1: quarterback for a delayed blitz. So he's able to do

360
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: that so over and over again that you know, in

361
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: the second and third quarter you feel High Tower hanging

362
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: around and you think he's hanging around to be a

363
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: quarterback spy, but he's actually now he's undercutting Kelsey and

364
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: jamming him, or he's up in the line of scrimmage

365
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, he's about to blitz the a

366
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: gap and then he sugar rushes and pops out as

367
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: a as a robber, they've been they've been able to like, uh,

368
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: morph so many players on their defense to do so

369
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: many things. Um, when you go up and you want

370
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: to execute, you just have to be so aware and

371
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: in tune just what you see when the ball is snapped.

372
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean those guys are gonna be there you

373
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: know after They're not gonna They're not gonna always do

374
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: what you thought you saw on film. Um that a

375
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: gap player, that edge player, that that that those quarter

376
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: or half safeties at the snap of the ball because

377
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: they stay there for a second, doesn't mean that halfway

378
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: through the play they don't readjust and become a single

379
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: house safety and somebody cuts down to a U zero

380
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: route or something like that. So, um, you just got

381
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: to be very very in tune to you know, be

382
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: able to just on the run. Have your receivers be

383
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: ready to hot routes, be ready. Um, all hands on

384
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: board to come over to the Saturday. Hey, let's talk

385
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: about what we saw and be ready just to make

386
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: it a full four quarter game. They're gonna do some

387
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: things early on in the game that you haven't seen before.

388
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: That's what bell Check does. He takes away your strengths

389
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: and makes you beat him with your weaknesses. The great

390
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: thing about the Chiefs is even if it ain't our strifth,

391
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: it's still better than most people's weakness. Yeah, and here's

392
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: so let's just take the your example of Gilmore takes

393
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 1: out Kelsey and then they're bracketing maybe Tyreek Hill. But

394
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: here and now becomes the importance of a Sammy Watkins

395
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: and a Marcus Robinson or a McCole Hardman being able

396
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: to get open because you can't do everything right. I

397
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: can't take I can bracket you and I can take

398
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: him out. What about seventeen? Am I gonna handle seventeen

399
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: or fourteen or eleven? So it could be a game

400
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: where those guys have got to beat Press, They've got

401
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: to be open, they've got to make some big plays

402
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: because the Chiefs have shown Andy Reichs shown the ability

403
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: to not just react to Billy Chick. He'll throw a punchy,

404
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: He'll throw a couple of punches at him. Yeah, he'll

405
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: create some offense philosophies. Didn't you know it doesn't key

406
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: on Kelsey or Tyreek Hill once he realize it's okay

407
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: if you're gonna defend those guys, if you're gonna take

408
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: away those two of my weapons, when instead of making

409
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: that my first and second read, those are gonna be

410
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: secondary thoughts. I'm gonna start off with Sammy Watkins being

411
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: the first read and then mcole Hartman being a second,

412
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: and then if I need to, I can hit de

413
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: rob as a third. Now, what New England would do

414
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: the counter that is, like you said, they'll take away

415
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: those first two options, but they'll count on their pass

416
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: rush to make it so that you can't get to

417
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: the third option. And last year Trey Flowers right here

418
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: at phenomenal game against US bringing pressure off that edge.

419
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: So they'll find a way to generate create some whether

420
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: it's a delayed linebacker rush or nickelback coming off the edge,

421
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: they'll find a way to create. They want to speed

422
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: up your tempo and make you deliver the ball before

423
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: you can recognize exactly who they're got, who they're doubling,

424
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: who they're taking away, and won't let you get to

425
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: that free option. It was Flowers who had the huge

426
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: shack against Mahomes at the end of the first half

427
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: which in the AFC Championship game, which loomed us a

428
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: very large play because the Chiefs I think could have

429
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: gone in down seven three the rally the second half

430
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: we all know about. But it leads me to two

431
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: things here as we close out the third quarter of

432
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: this Defending the Kingdom podcast called play the team in

433
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: front of you, don't play the ghost, and you bring

434
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: up a couple of thoughts. One is the offensive line.

435
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: I've talked to those guys this week in their preparation

436
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: and New England mine jacks with your offensive line as

437
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: much as any team in the league. How they line

438
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: up on you. Let's say you're playing guard. They're gonna

439
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: be on your shoulder, inside shoulder, and then head up

440
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: and you're like, what are you gonna do? And there's

441
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: all these kind of games and twists or drops. They

442
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: got two picks from defensive lineman barbershop. So as an

443
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, the keys here understanding and communication or key

444
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: against these and you have to be so the trust,

445
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 1: level of communication, level of protecting the pocket, protecting the

446
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: sanctity of your quarterback being comfortable in that pocket, because

447
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: you don't know if the end is looping around to

448
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: go to another gap, or if he's looping around to

449
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: be a sinner or a whole dropper. You don't know

450
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: if it's the lay blitz, if he's sugar and then

451
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: gonna drop to the flat of if he's gonna delay

452
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: a second and then come off hard off the edge. Um.

453
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: There's so many different techniques they use with the defensive

454
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: tackles and edge rushers. Um. And not to mention the

455
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: pressure they can bring back bringing those linebackers in the

456
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: a gaps or a nickel or safety off the edge. Um,

457
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: everything is on board. Everything is a possibility. UM. So

458
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: you got to prepare for everything. UM. But with the

459
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: one thing you can do. As long as you are

460
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,239
Speaker 1: communicating and you trust each other, UM, we can all count, right,

461
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: we can all count, and we know if hey, if

462
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: fifty four is zero, and we can count, we know

463
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: who's the next guy, next guy, next guy, and we

464
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: know who we got. We know who we got. UM.

465
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: So no matter how they line up, whether they're on

466
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: the ball, off the ball, um, if they do that

467
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: little um uh, Baltimore ravens the sugar huddle where no offer,

468
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: no d lineman puts his hand on the ground, they're

469
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: just walking around and then at the hike of the

470
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: ball they all just yea different gaps and stuff like that.

471
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: So all of those things have to be award for.

472
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: Like you said, that's that's chasing ghosts, right, that's playing

473
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: something that they've done in the past. If they do that,

474
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: they can surprise you one time and then you're ready

475
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: for it. But it's the one time. Many times it's

476
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: the scoop and score or the sack strip. That's what's

477
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 1: happened this year with these guys. The other thing, then

478
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: in the three previous games when you look at actually

479
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: the last two with Mahomes losing last year in New

480
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: England and then losing in the Chiefs and then the

481
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs and Mahomes losing here in the AC Championship game,

482
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: could not get ahead of them. Actually the forty two

483
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: twenty seven game, the open seventeen, the Patriots get ahead,

484
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: they get ahead, they get ahead, so they're not playing

485
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: tennis and it's the Williams sisters and Vanessa gets up

486
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: fifteen love. Chiefs have not been in that position. It's

487
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: been okay, we got to climb back. This is one

488
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: of those games. It'd be nice to start fast on

489
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: all three phases and get a lead on these guys.

490
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: It could change the tenor of the game even in Foxburg.

491
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: I think if we definitely be feed off the momentum

492
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: last week, a week before right the game against the

493
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: Chargers game last week, we feed off of that and

494
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: understand the the to me, the primary and the number

495
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: one thing I got is that we can play mistake

496
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: free football, no penalties, no false If we can eliminate

497
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: those type things, that's how you know as a team

498
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: that we've come with the purpose and the focus. Our

499
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: focus is coming into this ball game is to win

500
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: this ball game. Each drive scoring offense, prevent them from

501
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: scoring on defense when you are not seeing a bunch

502
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: of yellow flags being thrown. That's how you know. Everybody

503
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: is super tuned in, um, super purposeful about their about

504
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: their skills and abilities and how they post their job

505
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: on the field. And that allows the teams to decide,

506
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: all right, like let's see who's the better team that

507
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: who performs, who executes the bass and you know, take

508
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: the referees out of it. Don't don't let don't let

509
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, definitely in Foxburg, don't let the referees, Uh

510
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: play a part of this. Keep those flags in their pockets,

511
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: and let's play some bullyball. Let's see who's the bad

512
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: man on the block. Our offense versus their defense, our defense.

513
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: Verth day of offense, special teams against special teams, our

514
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: coach against their coach, our fans online and abroad versus

515
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Fox Burst. There. I truly believe if you add up

516
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: the team and you check the boxes, the Chiefs are

517
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,199
Speaker 1: a better overall team. In twenty nineteen in the New

518
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: England Patriots, I would agree with that. And again there's

519
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: this game will be tight, A couple of micro fibers

520
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: of just a few things. A flag here, their final

521
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: quarter here in our Defending the Kingdom podcast played the

522
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: team in front of you, Chiefs going to my Foxburg

523
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: to take on the Patriots. Again. It's brought to you

524
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: by three sixty Vodka Official Vodka, the Kansas City Chiefs.

525
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 1: But it deals now with the other side, on the

526
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: defensive side, meaning the Patriots are living off Edelman and

527
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: the running backs. Honestly, if you look at Tom Brady's

528
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: attempts in completions, it is so centric. Sixty percent of

529
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 1: almost seventy percent of the attempts are going to a

530
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: combination of Julian Edelman in the running backs, and fifty

531
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: nine percent of the completion are going to Edelman or

532
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: running back James White or Brex Burkhead. The tight ends.

533
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: Think about not Grock's not there. Well, the tight ends

534
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: are thirty second in the league in production at that category.

535
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, so here you are as a defensive team,

536
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: as Spags, this is how you made your money. I'm

537
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: looking at maybe two running backs in there at the

538
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: same time and treating James White as a receiver or three.

539
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: I actually intestipate that played three and thereon Burkehead is

540
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: a receiver along with James right, because Sony Michelle is

541
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: the runner. Yeah. From a from a personnel standpoint, like

542
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 1: you said, we've seen last game that it seems like

543
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has lost a little bit of confidence in

544
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: Philip doors set Um. Maybe yes, the new on fourth

545
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: down you know not you know, not connecting that catching

546
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: that ball on fourth down, um, and those things that

547
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has been accustomed with his team overcoming making

548
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: those plays and being able to win big ball games.

549
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: And he understands that the league is caught up to

550
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,080
Speaker 1: him and and and he has to rely on at

551
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: least throw the ball, attempt to throw the ball to

552
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: somebody that he can count on. And you you said

553
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: it just now. Seventy percent of those balls being thrown

554
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 1: is to the running backs and Edelman. And in a

555
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: game like this against a team that he knows can

556
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: put up points, a team he knows defensively can come

557
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: at him. UM, I wouldn't be afraid to see it,

558
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: to see that number almost wrapped up to eighty percent.

559
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: Win in doubt, the ball is going to Edelman. Win

560
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,719
Speaker 1: in doubt, he's gonna give it to a white out

561
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: the backfield and let you know, if it's a third

562
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: and eight yards, he'll give it to him on a

563
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: swing route and say, hey, now you gotta go make

564
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: something happen because they're bringing the pressure and stuff like that. Um.

565
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: We gotta be so so aware of the screen game. Uh,

566
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: that screen game has been something they've been maskedful at. UM.

567
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: Trying to throw off your pass rush, trying to negate

568
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: sack Nation number ninety five, Big Chris Jones and mad

569
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: Man number fifty five coming off the edge, guy Frank

570
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: Clark trying to negate some of the press should those

571
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 1: two guys can bring you definitely started thinking, you know,

572
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: I would be thinking, you know, hey, we got to

573
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: defend the screen game, screen game, draw game inside Trap,

574
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: and then you know, continue to be great against the

575
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: passes dwnfield and then the short running game we're getting.

576
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: We're close to closing out things on this edition of

577
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom. But a couple of things. One, the

578
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: last four games of Patriots are only averaging eighteen points

579
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: a game. They're averaging eighteen points a game. You go,

580
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: We'll wait a minute. The're in Foxborough. They've won seventy

581
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: five percent of their games in Foxbro since ninety four.

582
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: That's the whole tenor of this podcast is. I mean,

583
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: you could play them in Karachi, Pakistan, Nova Scotia, or Kazakhstan,

584
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: play them, play this team whether it's in Foxboro or

585
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: Kansas City and win this game. It's there. The second

586
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: thing is, and I'm gonna get bread Beach credit for

587
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: this one thing I really like about this Chiefs team.

588
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: Based on the matchups we're talking about, the Chiefs play

589
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: a lot of three safety Nickel meaning Sorenson, Kama, Thornhill, Camma, Honey, Badger,

590
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: tying Matthew, your nickel, your five dbs aren't necessarily three

591
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: corners in two safeties. It's three safeties in two corners.

592
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: What does that do to help you in this game

593
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: against do England? It definitely makes you not as vulnerable

594
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: against Tom brady Um going to his sugar huddles and

595
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: keeping you on the field. You know he's been known

596
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: back from when it was just him and Peyton Manning.

597
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: Once they make a personnel change and they get you

598
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: out of a personnel that you want on the field,

599
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: they would sugar huddle, keep that that personnel on the field,

600
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: make you burn the time out to change personnel, and

601
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: that's something they use as as as a ploya to

602
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: not only you know, burn your time out so you

603
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: can't review plays late in the game, but it gets

604
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: you playing on your heels knowing that you're either winded

605
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: or you're in a personnel that shouldn't be playing against

606
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: a first and ten personnel. You got regular out there

607
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: and you're it's third and seventeen and they keep you

608
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: on the field, don't let you get your nickel a diamond.

609
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: So by able being able to play with those three

610
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: safeties and the three safeties you named, aren't your normal safeties.

611
