The Warrior Prince, the MVP of last 40 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: year's NFL and this year's Super Bowl Patrick Mahomes. The 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: next two Defending the Kingdom podcast, we're gonna zero in 42 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: on that and what the Chiefs do to go to 43 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: another level, particularly in protecting Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, we're gonna 44 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: talk about it. We're gonna try to not to give 45 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: away any secrets or any any any kind of diagram 46 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: or any kind of blueprint for how to attack our offense. 47 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: But we want to make sure we bring our fans 48 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: in clothes. We want to bring our fans so they 49 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 1: know exactly what's going on in the field, how Andy 50 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 1: Reid and coached the enemy. I'm going to protect, set 51 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 1: up the offensive line, the running backs, tight ends, everybody 52 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: plays apart. When you talk about protecting a four hundred 53 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: maybe a five hundred million dollar quarterback. Let's go back 54 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: through the last season when I was actually we're back 55 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: and reviewed these videos. Oh my gosh, in the Baltimore 56 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: game against the Ravens. In that game in late September 57 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: thirty three, twenty eight Chiefs win, he got hit officially 58 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: eight times. Did Mahomes unofficially another six? Then you look, 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: Detroit got to him a little bit, Indie sacked him 60 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: four times. Houston there was also eight quarterback hits overall 61 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: in that indie game, and then Houston had the big 62 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: sack and strip fumble recovery right before the half. There 63 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: were just a lot of accumulative hits on Patrick and 64 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: I know part of it's his game and just you 65 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: know how he improvises. Yet how do they reduce the 66 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: number of hits. How does he reduce the number of 67 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: hits in twenty twenty to make Patrick even more effective 68 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: than his A plus plus grade. Well, that's how you 69 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: take good and make it great, and take a great 70 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: season and make it elait find a way to protect 71 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: that quarterback even more. So. There are a few ways 72 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: to do it. You can protect more people and get 73 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: less guys out in the route, or you can move 74 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: the pocket around. You can move the pocket, have it 75 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: be a moving pocket, have him rolled out, spring out 76 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: on the corner, or it comes out to Patrick just 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: getting rid of the ball master not waiting, not waiting 78 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: for that that that extra step for the receiver to 79 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: get opened, and that comes with that anticipation. The more 80 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: he works with Tyrek Hill and Zeus and Sammy Watkins 81 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: and him and Micole Hartmy all get on the same page. 82 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Right now, he only needs about a two yard window 83 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: of separation to complete a pass. There's gonna be a 84 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: point where he needs no he's gonna he's gonna be 85 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 1: able to be so in tune with those guys routes, 86 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: he'll throw it blind even a step sooner than the 87 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: receiver breaks out his routes because he knows that he's 88 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: gonna have that that ball right on target, right on 89 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: the money. And so as he gets more comfortable with 90 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: working with the same receivers, you'll see him even release 91 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: the ball quicker, and that's gonna reduce some of those 92 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: hits on the quarterback. I was so proud of Patrick 93 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes last year. Go back to our Defending the Kingdom 94 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: podcast of a year ago in the spring, because after 95 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: his fifty touchdown five thousand yard MVP performance getting the 96 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs to the first AFC Championship game in forever, you know, 97 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: we discussed what's the next step, and I mentioned time 98 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: score situation, and we knew that teams would have a 99 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: year to get ready for him. And we saw teams 100 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: play a single high and then then they'd try to 101 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: rough up the receivers at the line of scrimmage and 102 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: try to throw his timing off and just have a 103 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: glimpse of time to pressure him. But I saw Patrick 104 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: Mahomes last year have a better year in twenty nineteen. 105 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: I thought, even though less stats, because he was grinding 106 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: through that year, he was patient. He would wait to strike. 107 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: Think of the Wasp in the fourth quarter of the 108 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty four victory. But you can go back 109 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: and look that he would take what they were given 110 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: him shop but then wait to strike because he's like 111 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: Muhammed Ali. To me, he may spar with you in 112 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: the seventh, eighth, and ninth round and you think I'm 113 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: ahead in points, and then he knocks you out in 114 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: the twelfth or fifteenth round. To me, he's the Muhammad 115 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: Ali of the NVA, the NFL. Right now. Yeah, he 116 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: understands that the only time the school board matters, and 117 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: when his all zeros in the time lift, if no 118 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: more time's going to cloud, that's the only time you 119 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: need to look up at the school board and have 120 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: more points than your opponent. At no point in the 121 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: game do you ever feel a sense of worry or 122 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: a defeated mentality. He's always positive, upbeat, He's expecting that 123 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,559 Speaker 1: offense every time he touched the field, that series should 124 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: end up in a touchdown. And that's the kind of 125 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: excellence you demand from that leadership position as your quarterback. 126 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: And Pat has been doing that since day one, since 127 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: he got here. And it is not a make believe, 128 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: that is not an arrogance about him. Is how he 129 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: goes about his every day expecting excellence from that, not 130 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: just himself, but everybody in that huddle and basically everybody 131 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: on the football field with him throughout practice. How much 132 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: do you think Patrick is getting into that role of 133 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: he knows when to take his shot and when you 134 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to throw it away here. This 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: is second and seven, and I'm not going to try 136 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: to force either a pick or a sack. I'll wait 137 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: till next down and try to do this again. Because 138 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: I've seen all the great ones do that, whether it's 139 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: manning or down you know, down through the years, Brady 140 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: and Breeze and others. I see Patrick doing that at 141 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: a young age. But how much of that is just 142 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: understanding and knowing the NFL what they're trying to do 143 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: to him as countermeasures as a reflect back goes one 144 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 1: episode of the Shot Right with Lebron James. And you 145 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: heard Pat even telling about himself even as a young player, 146 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: he felt that his weakness was figuring out defenses. He 147 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: was like, everything I've done on his fifty touchdown season, 148 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: which was his second year, was done without him even 149 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: having a true one percent grasp of what defenses was 150 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: trying to do to him. He was just taking half 151 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: a defense a quarter to defense. And because his arm 152 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: is so talented, because he could be so accurate with 153 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: the ball, he was choosing like predetermining where he was 154 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: going to attack a defense. But as that understanding about 155 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: the overall defensive package half field on one side zone 156 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,239 Speaker 1: and the other man concept Robert concept like you said, 157 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: single high, two high safety and all the different ways 158 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: he can attack that defense all over the field. That's 159 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: just gonna develop and grow the amount of ways he 160 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: can attack a defense. And so I actually think you 161 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: might see less times of him actually throwing the ball 162 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: away because once he discovers what you're doing against him defensively, 163 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna know now how many different ways to attack 164 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: it because he knows the weaknesses in it. That's going 165 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: to continue to grow as he gets more and more 166 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: experience on the NFL level going against NFS NFL level 167 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators, and so I see a brighter even though 168 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: with the MVP season, the Super Bowl MVP, now he's 169 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: got the you know, Lombardi Trophy here in Kansas City, 170 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: there's still a brighter future for his development at the 171 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: quarterback position. And I think that's why that's way has 172 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: everybody buzzing here in Kansas City. His intelligence, his toughness, 173 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: but he also knows he's got to have his village 174 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: around him and protecting the warrior prints. I get asked 175 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: too about the two opt outs with Laray dubern hrt 176 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: e the right guard forty five and twelve as a 177 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: starter in his career, you can't look past that. And 178 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: then Damian Williams. We know about the rund immortality, we 179 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: know about he'd been crazy good in the playoffs, been 180 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: a you know, playoff Damien. But Damian also had a 181 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,719 Speaker 1: propensity for pass blocking. And we're going to get into 182 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: this a little more next week. But I had a 183 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: chance to sit down before I get into my discussion 184 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: with Cocchio's assembly, who's the two time Pro Bowl guard 185 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs just picked up. Those two guys opting 186 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: out and now the filling guys, let's just talk about 187 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: it globally, the running backs, There's going to be a 188 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 1: lot of guys other than Clyde Edwards Hilaire who have 189 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: to fill in. It's just the way Andy does stuff. 190 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: He's done it all his career. But then at the 191 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: guard position, the challenger at the right guard position to 192 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: fill in for LDT those two roles. But looking at it, 193 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: just specifically drilling it down to pass protection by the 194 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 1: right guard and what he has to provide, and the 195 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: running back and what he has to provide in protecting 196 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: Patrick well when the line has to determine whether they're 197 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: gonna sly Rice lad left, T six, T seven, all 198 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: these different terminologies. You know, we have a you know 199 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: the enemy and coach Andy Reid probably have about ten 200 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: to twenty different blocking concepts they can use depending on 201 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: who is the greatest threat and Pat. In between Pat 202 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: and the center and the two tackles they get to 203 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: the side, you know which package of protections we're gonna 204 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: use this game. And with Pat, because he's so advanced, 205 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: he can he can he can shift med course, he 206 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: doesn't need to go to the sideline and and talk 207 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 1: talking with the offensive line. We cannot practice the T 208 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: seven T six six. We don't have to practice it, 209 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: and he can recall it and ask guys, hey, you 210 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: cant him, you can him? Were gonna call it out man, 211 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: big on, big running backs, pick up the backers, and 212 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: we can just go with it from there. So even 213 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: mid drive, he's able to change course in what our 214 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: protection our protections team is to suit whatever that defense 215 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: is trying to do that series. That is another thing 216 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: that makes him so special is how he can adjust 217 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 1: on the fly. Hey, Stephen Curry needed Draymond Green and 218 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 1: needed Clay Thompson. I'm not gonna call Collectiosemile Clay Thompson's, 219 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: but this is an intriguing kid Iowa State, two time 220 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: pro bowler with the Oakland Raiders. Sorry, Annie, World champion 221 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: is rookie year with the Baltimore Ravens.

I 236 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: not what major decision easy for you? It was a 237 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: no brainer. I saw what they did the whole season, 238 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: saw them put a lot of points. I wanted to 239 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: be a part of a high flying offense like that, 240 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 1: and obviously playing playing with my homes Texas guy. You know, 241 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: I'm a Texas guy myself, so yeah, I was excited 242 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: as soon as I got the car, as soon as 243 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: I knew that was an option, it was. It was 244 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 1: a no brainer for me. Letsha, I gotta show you this. 245 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: Being the voice of the Chiefs now for twenty seven years, 246 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: this is my twenty seventh year. If you can't beat them, 247 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: sign them. You've beat us twice. This is one of them. 248 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: Your rookie year as a Baltimore Raven. Yes, just get 249 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: around draft pick and you did this right. You want 250 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: a world championship as a rookie. You started every game 251 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: that year. That had to be exciting for you. Yeah, 252 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: that was that was really exciting. Especially coming out of 253 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: Iowa State. There wasn't a lot of you know, big 254 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: name guys or anything like that. So I kind of 255 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: felt like that was an opportunity to kind of put 256 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: the program on the map and kind of represent. So 257 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: I really I really took that upon myself and and 258 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: took that very very seriously, um my whole my entire 259 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: rookie campaign. So it just felt good to be able 260 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: to do that and be able to represent you know. 261 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: So that felt that felt amazing. That's how you want 262 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: to start right, start fast, So start fast. And here 263 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: we go again. This is with you as a six 264 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: year veteran. But now you're a Raider. Okay, but you 265 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: do have two pro bowls I put on there. But 266 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: going from the doing a Raider and now a chief, 267 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: that dynamic, Um yeah, I haven't honestly, I haven't thought 268 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 1: about that at all, Like this is the first time 269 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm even thinking about that. Um. Yeah, it's kind of crazy. 270 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: I remember it just being so loud when we would 271 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 1: come here and play, and just being an explosive, explosive 272 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: offense and just coming back out on the field like, okay, 273 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: we got to score a game. Like these guys are 274 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: scoring pretty fast. So it's kind of nice to be 275 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: on the every side of that, to be the side 276 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: that's going to be scoring fast and have the other 277 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: have the other side to trying to keep up putting 278 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: points on the board. So ninety six games, ninety six starts, 279 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: it's really imp rush. And most of them, if I'm 280 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: not mistaken, like eighty two of them have been at 281 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: left guard. So what about your ability to plug right 282 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: in with this Chief's offense to be left guard or 283 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: wherever they ask you to play? Um, I really I'm 284 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: not sure. When I got the call. Initially they were 285 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: telling me to be ready to play either. So far, 286 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: I've been playing left. Talking to the guys on the 287 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: offensive line, they're kind of variant for me to play left. 288 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: Fisher walk up to me and immediately it was like 289 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: you're playing next to me because he wants to, you know, 290 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: get some double teams in and stuff like that, and 291 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, be able to drive guys and get the 292 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: cakes and all that. So I don't know. We'll see. Obviously, 293 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: it's it's not in my hand. It's my offensive line coach. 294 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: So um he called me and told me to be 295 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: ready for both. Right now. I've been taking reps at left, 296 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: so we'll see. That's kind of hecks mojo man. That's 297 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: what he does. He wants everybody to do everything or 298 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: but it's it's your versatility has been shown because that 299 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: first card I had with your world title year when 300 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: you were playing the regular season, you were playing right 301 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: tackle and they shift you to guard. That shows your versatility. Yeah, 302 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: I never played time in my life. I'm not gonna 303 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: lie a little. Never it worked out. You're handled it, okay, 304 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: my friend. I have to ask you, though, this is 305 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: a psychological question because the Chief's Kingdom wants to know 306 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: they get a world championship for the first time in 307 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: fifty years. Here we did, and now trying to repeat, 308 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: particularly in this wild coronavirus environment. Your rookie year, you 309 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: win it. We've already talked about that. The challenges you 310 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: had when you went into the next year of you 311 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: guys trying to repeat number one, it was just players. Man. 312 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: We lost some key players, so that was like that 313 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: was tough, man, just from a leadership standpoint, we didn't 314 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: have the same leadership, you know, losing losing Ray Lewis 315 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: and Bernardo Pollard and Ed Read and everybody like so 316 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: right away it was just a different team. And then 317 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: it was just basically trying to overcome that, like who's 318 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: going to be the leader now, Who's going to step up? 319 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: And we didn't really do a good job of that. 320 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: So I think that's that's where we kind of fell 321 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: off our next year. From what I've seen right now, 322 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: though leadership seems strong, I haven't seen the dynamic on 323 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball yet. But um, in 324 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: terms of my homes and in terms of the guys 325 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: that are back in this core group, like they're firing 326 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: on all cylinders already. Um, it's like they haven't taken 327 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: a day too not look away from the playbook, Like 328 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: everybody's been in their playbook and everybody's just like clicking 329 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: running their routes like there hasn't been any missed assignments 330 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: or anything like that, which is actually pretty crazy for 331 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: how early it is right now, because we all just 332 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: you know, got together, so there's some momentum um. You know. 333 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm not the type of person that likes to get 334 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: too far ahead of of what's going on, but right 335 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: now it's it's looking pretty good right now. Well at 336 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: least me to the next question, because I say this, 337 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: we're defending the Kingdom, but you're gonna have to defend 338 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: the Warrior prints here the MVP, and I don't like 339 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with MVP of the league that year 340 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: prior to that, playing what you've the chance to play 341 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes, the importance of protecting Patrick Mahomes and 342 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: your role is maybe as the starting left yard on 343 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: this team, what the challenge is for you for that. 344 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm kind of one of those people where it's, you know, 345 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: you just do your job no matter what, Like it's 346 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,400 Speaker 1: one play at a time, one step at a time. 347 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: You know. That was my mentality my old rookieyear. Obviously 348 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: it would be in my first year, and that was 349 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: my mentality during the Super Bowl. Sometimes if you try 350 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: to make things too big, you can lose sight of 351 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: the small thing. So it's really just about your technique 352 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: and your fundamentals and staying locked in. Obviously, the job 353 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: is paramount. It would be understated to say anything less 354 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: than the fact that him, you know, getting hurt or 355 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: getting hit or anything like that is pretty much, you know, 356 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: the end of the season like he's a championship caliber player. 357 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: He's the best player, in my opinion, in the NFL. 358 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: So it's it's obvious that that's the most important job, 359 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: but you can't think like that psychologically. Your mindset has 360 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: to be you're locked in every single play, You're doing 361 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: your job. You're you're executing your technique and your fundamentals 362 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: and that everything else takes care of itself. But it's 363 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: a it's a very important job, obviously, And with that 364 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: in mind. One of the things I always love to 365 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: watch at camp and have and understand how important it 366 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: is is you working in concert with your band of 367 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: brothers on your shoulders here and Fish has already said, hey, 368 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: I want you at left guard. I want you on 369 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: my right shoulder, working a concert with your tackles. You 370 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: did an awesome job of this, especially in Oakland when 371 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: I would watch to prepare for the raidar game, So 372 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: I like com mand that guy is just on it, 373 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: working in concert with both the center and the tackle, 374 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: and how important that is in the next several weeks 375 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: as much as learning this offense, it's very very important 376 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: getting that timing in terms of like dragging off this 377 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: center and having eyes for your tackle just in case 378 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: somebody spins or there's a blitz coming or anything like that. Um, 379 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: I take pride and always being there for them, especially 380 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: for my tackle, and especially for my my center as 381 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: well in terms of giving him time to get in 382 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: front of his nose. But um, a lot of people 383 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 1: in the league know that I'm a guy that likes 384 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: to take somebody out of their plates if they do 385 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: go inside on that inside move. So that's usually why, 386 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: like tackles are pretty excited to have me walking next 387 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: to them. So yeah, like I'm just I'm just excited about, 388 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: you know, getting the plays down and being able to 389 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: do that. You know, it's kind of just like with me, 390 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: it's like doing that first thing, dragging off and being 391 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,360 Speaker 1: there for my center. It's like, okay, that's like my technique, 392 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: but me getting the take off and and take somebody's 393 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: head off potentially is That's that's what's fun to me 394 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,719 Speaker 1: about the game being there for my tackle on an 395 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: inside move. So yeah, I'm I'm very very, very very 396 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: excited about playing with the guys get his fishes because 397 00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: I know he's going to be that type of dude 398 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: where he going to set that up for me overset 399 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: on purpose. He's at that level where he can do that, 400 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna have a lot of fun. 401 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 1: What about this offense? What have you learned about it? 402 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: I know that these are they like the offensive lineman 403 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: to move, whether it's just power on the run game 404 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: which you can do very well, or the screen game. 405 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: Andy Reid is a master of the stinkin screen game. 406 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 1: What about this offense and your ability to move with 407 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: that offense? Um? Yeah, like it's it's gonna be fun. 408 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: We ran to play today where I don't want to 409 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: give it too much away, but there was more than 410 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: one person pulling and it was interesting and there was 411 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: options attached to that. Like, it wasn't just a simple play. 412 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: So there's just so many ways that you can be 413 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: the defense with this playbook. Another thing I'm really excited 414 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: about is there's another play that we put in one 415 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: of the screens, and it was just like the concept 416 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: of everybody being connected, like the running back has his 417 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: specific landmark, so the line game can't be wrong if 418 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: we execute execute to play, like execute our rules. And 419 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: I've never really had it where the communication was just 420 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: so set, like the rules are just so set, like 421 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: everybody knows exactly where they're supposed to be. And if 422 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: you do your job and you're running right down you know, 423 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: the edge of the sidewalk and in the backs getting 424 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: the ball at the right timing, it's you just can't 425 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: be wrong. And then you just get to cut it loose. 426 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: And it's so cool to be a part of that 427 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: because then you just you let your athletic ability kind 428 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: of take over after you take care of your responsibilities, 429 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 1: and then you're just having fun. So I'm excited about 430 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: that With the screen game, I'm excited about all the 431 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: little wrinkles we have running some some pool plays and 432 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: some options off of the pool plays. Like I've never 433 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: been a part of an offense like this, and I 434 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: kind of like being on the other side now. It's 435 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: like you kind of see why they scored so many points. 436 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool to see that first in I'll 437 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: close it out this way.

I love the way you think, 484 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: because I know you're thinking the next step of protecting 485 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes has nothing to do with the offense. Is 486 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: that right? Oh? Definitely, Man, we got a guy like 487 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: Pat mahomesh He's got that arrogance, that it factor. He 488 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: has what everybody is looking for for their franchise quarterback. 489 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: There's somebody that plays like a lion each and every week. 490 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: There's no sheep in this guy. He's not looking to hide, 491 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: he's not looking but defenses to let him off. He 492 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: invites the pressure, he wants the pressure, he wants the 493 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: spotlight on him because he knows he has the ability 494 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 1: to make the play. And that goes back to what 495 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: we said at the very beginning of this podcast was 496 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: the fact that you don't want to take that out 497 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: of him. There are times I'm gonna throw this one away. 498 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 1: I'm not going to force it into double coverage like 499 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: Seattle eighteen. I'll check it down or throw it to 500 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: Kelsey or throw it away. But I want to keep 501 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 1: that edge off this. You know, maybe the most remarkable 502 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: guy in the NFL is seen for a generation, So 503 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: you want to keep that. But you again, you want 504 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 1: to make an A plus guy a plus plus. Yeah, 505 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: if you think about that Tennessee Titan game, what if 506 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: he threw the ball away instead of running for that touchdown? 507 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: That would have changed the whole dynamics of the game. 508 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: And he's got that attitude. He's trying to score. He's 509 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: trying to find a way to put this team in 510 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: the Promised Land, in the end zone each and every drive. 511 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: And sometimes he puts himself at risk. But he's not afraid. 512 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: He's not scared. He plays lying hearted. And wait a minute, 513 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 1: is we get ready to go into next week's defending 514 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, defending the Kingdom, defending the Warrior Prince. You're 515 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: telling me maybe the defense could be involved in this. Man, 516 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough when other defenses, you know, when 517 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: they try to attack us, we get up and now 518 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: it's time for our defense. What is our defense gonna 519 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: do to help protect Patrick Holmes? When we're up, it's 520 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 1: the third quarter, we have a chance to put the 521 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 1: nail in the coffin. You know, we got we got, 522 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: we got him about the throat. We got to close 523 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 1: the game off. We can't let teams hang around and 524 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: score late in the game, make it a game, make 525 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: it closer, because then we got to put Pat back 526 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: out there and expose them again. So a great running game, 527 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: a solid defense, and being able to put the nail 528 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: in the coffin early and often when we're up. That's 529 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: those are three keys that I think keeping Pat as 530 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: healthy as possible for the entire two twenty campaign. We're 531 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 1: gonna jump into that next week. More we'll get into 532 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: more of the individual guys that are involved here, particularly 533 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: possibly filling in at right card or running back with 534 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire, and we'll get into how the defense 535 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: more can help Patrick Mahomes or protect him.
