All right, 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: we're calling this episode of Defending the Kingdom the trophy Dash. 30 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: Now this goes Clint Bowyer is a huge Chiefs fan. 31 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: He just recently retired NASCAR shop and he used to 32 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: race dirt trek as a little kid. My dad would 33 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: take me to races in the Kansas Nebraska border. They'd 34 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: race on these three quarter mile tracks and I mean 35 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: it's been thousands of dollars just beating each other up right. 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: It was like the NFL version. They would go and go, 37 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: I'm just all night and just race and then fighting 38 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: the pits and all that. But he would get down 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: near the end of the night and they would have 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: the heat winners would run what they called the trophy dash. 41 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: There was the four fastest cars left, just like the 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: national football leagues down to four teams, and they would 43 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: line it up and run for the trophy. I thought, 44 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: do they get a whole bunch of money for this? Well, now, 45 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: just a little bit of trophy, but it was a 46 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: big deal to these guys. Now this trophy is the 47 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt Trophy. And you mentioned three straight AFC Championship 48 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: games all at Arrowhead after fifty eight years of never 49 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: hosting one, but the Kansas City Chiefs get a chance 50 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: again to play for the Lamar Hunt Trophy. What does 51 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 1: that mean? And how personal does it get for our 52 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: guys and our franchise to play for a trophy named 53 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: after our founder man. As a player, you take about 54 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: a season of work, a season of commitment, a season 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: of sacrifice, all the weightlifting, the practicing, being away from 56 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: your family and friends, doing whatever you had to do 57 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: as far as COVID protocol to make sure you're available 58 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: to play each and every week in order to have 59 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: the opportunity to host playoff games. In order to have 60 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: the opportunity to now be hosting an AFC Championshipship with 61 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: the trophy being the Lamar Hunt Trophy. Being able to 62 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: keep that trophy here in the city of his namesake, 63 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: one Lamar Hunt is an amazing feat. It's something that 64 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: Andy Reid, if he listened to him when he first 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: was brought here to Kansas City, he said one of 66 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: his goals was to get that Lamar Hunt Trophy back 67 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: here to Kansas City and back to the Hunt family. 68 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: And he's done it. And not only have we done it, 69 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: we've been able to defend that crown as af AFC 70 00:03:53,920 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: Championship champions but also thinking about our team, defending our 71 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: rights and our ability to go represent the AFC when 72 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: it comes to the Super Bowl, and I think that 73 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: is one of the we talk about checking the boxes off, 74 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: winning the AFC West, beating the Cleveland Browns, and now 75 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: having opportunities to go play and beat the Buffalo Bills 76 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: and give yourself a tomorrow, give yourself a chance to 77 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: create a tomorrow, which will be February. I think it's 78 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: February to seventh this year, February seventh, twenty twenty one 79 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: in Tampa Bay. The opportunity to fight for a back 80 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: to back championship, which is we know it's it's so 81 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: hard to achieve. Been sixteen years since anybody's done it. 82 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: The Patriots did it in the know three oh four seasons. Okay, 83 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: I'm breaking out. I broke out the coat. I hung 84 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: it up after last year. It's set there for fifty 85 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: two weeks because this is a coat. You got the 86 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: same coat, brother, I hung it up. That's what I 87 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: wore to broadcast at AFC Championship last year when I 88 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: said the team that Lamar Hunt found it has just 89 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: one Lamar Hunt's trophy in the stadium. That was Lamar 90 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: Hunt's dream. Then I hung it up. I pulled it 91 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: back out for this week because here coming to Buffalo 92 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: Bills and playing in the AFC Championship game all right 93 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: before we dive into the Bills, and it is a 94 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: worthy look at these guys because it's an outstanding team 95 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: coming in here Sunday. The question that you're getting, and 96 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: I'm getting every minute of every day, is about Mahomes 97 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: and the Mahomes protocol. And as people win this, listen 98 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: to this, I mean, on this Defending the Kingdom podcast. 99 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: We'll know later in the week more right after they've 100 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: heard this. And so the point is though the concussion 101 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: protocol I think is very important to at least look 102 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: at because you played the game for ten years, you 103 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: love the game, your family, your son played the game, 104 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: my son played the game. I wasn't very good, but 105 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: I played it in high school and if I could 106 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: play it again, I would because I love the game. 107 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: Shop you can tell I love the game, but it's 108 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: worth protecting. And several years ago the NFL put in 109 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 1: place these concussion protocols. There are no shortcuts. People wanted 110 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: to know on Monday at four and Tuesday at five 111 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: and Wednesday at three. They want to know what is it? 112 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: What's the answer? What's Well, there's not an answer. You 113 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: have to go through these uh you know, there's labyrinth 114 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: of checkpoints and it's it's there for a purpose, and 115 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: it's proven to be very effective because the concussions have 116 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: gone down big time in the NFL and the reoccurrence 117 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: of concussions have done the same. So in this concussion protocol, 118 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: as someone who played, as someone who has coached some 119 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: and someone who's had their own life and blood play 120 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: the game, what about these protocols, how important they are 121 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: and the fact that there are no shortcuts here you're 122 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: not cut to know right away. Well, I mean, one 123 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: of the amazing things I think I have to play 124 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: in the game is anyone who's had their bill wrung, 125 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: anybody who's who's stood up a little lightheaded. You understand 126 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: your equilibrium isn't right, your decision making isn't right, And 127 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 1: the last thing you do is want somebody to go 128 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: back on the field not thinking clearly, not having the 129 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,919 Speaker 1: action time they usually have, and not being able to 130 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: avoid a serious injury or a big hit, just because 131 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: mentally you're just not you know, you just don't have 132 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: it all together yet. And so the protocol has definitely 133 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: been put in place to protect players from themselves. We 134 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: have become so ultra aggressive, ultra alpha dog mentality, super competitive. 135 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: There's nothing that will keep a player off the field, 136 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: not even not even at his own detriment. And so 137 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: the fact that you know they have independent studies and 138 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: independent doctors, people outside of your own organization that are 139 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: able to note when someone is a little wildly a 140 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: little bit off center, pull them from the game and 141 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,960 Speaker 1: have them go through an actual protocol, in an actual 142 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 1: series of tests and evaluations to make sure that players 143 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: help enough to return to action. That is something that 144 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: NFL even when I played, I mean all we had 145 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: was a cup of smelling salt. They put the smelling salt, 146 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: and once you could clearly look at the doctor and 147 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: he asked you to follow his finger a little bit. Hey, 148 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: if you could do those things, it's back to the field, 149 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: you go. That has been proven not to be enough 150 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: time to really be able to evaluate and understand if 151 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: there's an actual brain trauma or anything from a concussion standpoint. Now, 152 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: what Pat Mahomes has is it could be put in 153 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: multiple different categories. But what we do know is that 154 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: when we saw him get back on his seat, he 155 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 1: was having issues maintaining his equilibrium. And whether you want 156 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: to categorize that as a knockout or a concussion, or 157 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: loss of blood flow or loss of oction, whichever category 158 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: it is, we know that's not the state of mind 159 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: you want somebody taking a snap when the other team 160 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: is coming to try to sack him. And so for 161 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: his benefit, for the well being of his future and 162 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: the future of our entire organization, it was best to 163 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: make that call withdraw him from action and let hen 164 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: he go out there and close that game out, which 165 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: he did in an amazing fashion. Right, So with a 166 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: guy who's played the game before, and I understand the 167 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: necessity of protecting the brain, protecting somebody's livelihood, to protecting 168 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: people from themselves. Man, we are ultra competitive and there's 169 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: nothing I wouldn't do to get back on that field. 170 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: And I can appreciate that the NFL has put a 171 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: protocol in a set of rules and regulations to prevent 172 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: somebody going out there and getting themselves hurt. And again, 173 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: the protocol is extensive. It goes through stages and including 174 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: just kind of easing into things europic exercise, and then 175 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: some non football activity, and then some football activity without contact, 176 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: meaning like seven on seven and throwing and running things 177 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: you would do in a game in this time of year, 178 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: you're not in contact anyway other than the game. But 179 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: still then neurologists get involved. This isn't like some trainer 180 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 1: coming up to you and giving you smelling salts when 181 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: you're entering the league with the Redskins or Washington football team. 182 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: This is neurologists taken over. And there are people and 183 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: specialists that are involved in watching it because you know 184 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: what we've learned and what we've read. I don't care 185 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: if you're playing soccer and you've got a concussion via header. 186 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: The most damaging things are when you have a concussion 187 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: in close proximity. That's when it can become very very damaging, 188 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: in life threatening in some instances. So that's why these 189 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: protocols are in place. There's no hurry everybody wants an answer. 190 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: Just slow down and just let the process work. And 191 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: so it's doing what it's supposed to do, and it's 192 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: been very impactful in the National Football League. All right, 193 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: now that we've got that taken care of, let's jump 194 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: into the Buffalo Bills. And looking at the Buffalo Bills, 195 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: I'm very impressed with these guys. They've only passed the 196 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: eye tests, they also got those stats. But what I 197 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: see a lot are the Kansas City Chiefs. There's a 198 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: lot of similarities between these teams when you look at 199 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: what they do and how they approach things. I'll give 200 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: you one there is no team that throws it more 201 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: on first down then Buffalo Bills. These guys are throwing 202 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: it and throwing it even more so in the last 203 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: eight games of the season, these first two playoff games. 204 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: In their first seventeen or eighteen plays. They only had 205 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: one design run and that was I mean against the 206 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: Ravens in the last week's game. So here they come. 207 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: They're gonna throw it, and they've got some talented players 208 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,319 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen is turning into a stud. Well, the 209 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Hills understands the same thing that the Kansay Chiefs do, 210 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: and that is the most efficient way to get the 211 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: ball from end zone to the the end zone is passing 212 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 1: the ball. You can coach you one about the running game. 213 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: You can stay late in the season defensive football and 214 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: running the balls the way to win championships. That is 215 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: no longer the case. It hasn't been the case for 216 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: a number of years now. The way the rules are set, 217 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: the way the rules have have have just grown to 218 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 1: be a more of a quarterback driven league. If you 219 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: got a guy that can sling it, and you can 220 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: run an offense to get the ball into the playmaker's 221 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: hands as early and often as possible. When you have 222 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: a tremendous tide receiver group, a capable tight end, you 223 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: have receivers at the running back position that can actually 224 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: catch the ball out the backfield, and you have somebody 225 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: at the quarterback position who can throw it all over 226 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: the fields. He can hit every the eight different zones 227 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: of the field and has the mobility to be able 228 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: to create some difficult situations for your defense. We've been 229 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: on the other side of that, We've faced it every 230 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: day in practice. We've seen Pat Mahomes do some amazing 231 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: no look passes eight yards in the airtime being able 232 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,719 Speaker 1: to zip it from one hash to the other sideline. 233 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: When you have that type of mobility at the quarterback position, 234 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: it's almost foolish not to use it as an offensive coordinator. 235 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: And that's the one thing Deepot is doing. He's doing 236 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: the same thing that the enemy is doing. They're looking 237 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 1: at their assets and they're realizing their greatest asset is 238 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: the quarterback position, and they're gonna put the ball in 239 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: his hands. Expect him to win it, Expect him to 240 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: get first down, first dawns touchdowns as many times as 241 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: possible throughout the ball game. Yeah. And Sean McDermott learned 242 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: from coach read He was coach a coach's adjutant. He 243 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: came from like Golden and Sacks and thought, I want 244 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: to coach. Can I be in bold in football? Yes? 245 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: Start all right here, you're gonna start the lowest end. 246 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: And mcdermot's done a great job of changing culture there 247 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. But they're fourth and twenty plus passes. And 248 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: the year that Stefan Diggs has had is very similar 249 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: to Tyreek Hill. Here's why shop because Diggs was thought 250 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: to be a nine runner, Right, I'm gonna run nines 251 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 1: and posts, That's what I'm gonna do. Remember the Minneapolis 252 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: miracle and the incredible play that was all of a sudden. 253 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs this year is running every route and running 254 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: with great short range quickness, the same thing that Tyreek 255 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: Hill has done. He went from bitch being a cheetah 256 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: that can run nine routes to now be coming running 257 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: every route on that spots and that tree you want 258 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: to talk about, including the route he ran the other 259 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: day on fourth and one, which was just that's it 260 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: and he was wide open and the Chiefs win the 261 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: game and move on or playing in this game. Okay, 262 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: So you've got that going for you. So let's take 263 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: Diggs in and of himself. The fact that he's not 264 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: just a nine out runner. This guy's running every route 265 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: and his short range quickness, the Chiefs did an awesome 266 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: job on him in October. They did an awesome job 267 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: on him. Last year he played for the Minnesota Vikings. 268 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: Here he only had one catch for four yards. That's 269 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: when he was kind of fighting the Cousins thing a 270 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: little bit, right. But now he goes from the trade 271 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: to these guys and blossoms the NFL's best receiver yards catches. 272 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: But I'm impressed with his short range quickness that makes 273 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: it difficult to cover. Yeah, he's a guy that can definitely. 274 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: He just wants the ball in his hand. He demands it. 275 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: He's running some precise routes. And what we know about 276 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: the offense because we see it all the time, is 277 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: when you're running accurate routes and the quarterback is placing 278 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: the ball with accuracy and timing, those two factors create 279 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: yards after catch. And you talk about once that he 280 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: has the ball in his hands, he gets up field, 281 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: he makes guys miss. He's doing a phenomenal job of 282 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: being one of the number one receivers in the league. 283 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: And you talk about the mirror image of these two teams. 284 00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: You know, one team has a stuff on Diggs. They 285 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: got knocks, they got John Brown and they got Beasley 286 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: and then in the backfield they got Singletary. Well, that 287 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: looks a lot like the Tarik Hill, McCole, Hartman, Sammy Watkins, 288 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey and c Claude Hilaire Edwards Edwards Hilaire coming 289 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: from the Chiefs team and they have their Alan and 290 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: we have our Mahomes. The only difference you think when 291 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: you look at these two ball teams and you're talking 292 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: about the offense is going to attack, I think it 293 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: comes down to the playmaking, mentality and ability of the defenses. 294 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: And this is gonna be a defensive ball game. This 295 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: is gonna be one loss by the playmaking ability of 296 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: one of the defenses. And I believe the our Chiefs 297 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: defense is full of playmakers at all three levels. And 298 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: I don't think the Buffalo Bill's defense can really hold 299 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: the same level of of of aggression, of attitude. I 300 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: think that Ben don't break, the style of of plane 301 00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: is going to come back to bite them in the 302 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: button versus Arkansas City Chiefs. Yeah, let's transition to that 303 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: side of the ball, because that's what's getting kind of 304 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: just drifted off here. But before we do that, I 305 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: mean the Bills are now best in third down conversions 306 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: or at the end of the regular season, and not 307 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: so great in the playoffs, but they're making critical plays there. 308 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: Great accuracy by Alan, I mean seventy four percent against 309 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: the Colts in a playoff game, hitting three out of 310 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: every four passes. They also are good in special teams, 311 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: are best in kickoff returns because Roberts will trying to 312 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: hit it. But these guys are legit on offensive side, 313 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: now the defensive side, and when people study offensive football 314 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: and what football has become, and we know what it's become, 315 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: relayed all levels at high school and also in college, 316 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: and for sure now in the NFL, I mean every 317 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: team left in the final four in this trophy dash, 318 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: I'm calling it on this defending the Kingdom. These four 319 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: cars left on the track that fought their way through 320 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: the whole long night of all these heat races are 321 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: on the track racing for the trophy. In the AFC, 322 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: in the NFC, and all four obviously four in the 323 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: top six in points per game, all about thirty points 324 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: a game. It's the defenses that get enough plays. This 325 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: is what I think you're alluding to, because I study 326 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: the rest of the league and I go, well, what 327 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 1: defenses are winning here? They're the ones that steal enough plays. 328 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills and Chiefs are similar in that regard. 329 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: The Bills have four non offensive touchdowns. Hey, they're in 330 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: this game in my opinion because of a one hundred 331 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: and one yard kickoff return by Johnson. Otherwise the Ravens 332 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: are going in without the win right at the end 333 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: of the third quarter. If they tie it at ten, ten, 334 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens get the wind in that game, and the 335 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: win was a big factor. This could have been very different. 336 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: It was their defense that got the play that you're 337 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: alluding to. That we've seen the Chiefs defense get time 338 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,640 Speaker 1: and time again, and week after weekend, got them all 339 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: over the playoffs last year. And one thing we do 340 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: know about their defense, led by Leslie Fraser and led 341 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: by Sara McDermott, it's a familiar foe. It's a defense 342 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: that I think Andy Reid and coached the enemy are 343 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: gonna be so comfortable defending because they've gone against the 344 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: core of that defensive philosophy for so many years. Back 345 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: when Jim Johnson was training coach Spags and coach McDermott 346 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: and telling them about football philosophy, how important it was 347 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 1: to be the aggressor, to to to to contry to 348 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: control it from a defensive mindset, to only allow offense 349 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: to do what you want them to do by putting 350 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: pressure on the receivers, by rerouting routes, by h stacking 351 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: a box, putting nine in the box to make them 352 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: have to pass the ball, being able to rotate and 353 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: H and flood zones defensively bringing overload blitzers. So all 354 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,479 Speaker 1: of these different factors that we we we've seen from 355 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: coach McDermott and coach Leslie Fraser. The true creator and 356 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: the true fundamental foundational creator of this defense has been 357 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,919 Speaker 1: Jim Johnson. And so seeing that defense and being a 358 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: part of that organization when I was with the Eagles 359 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: with Andy Reid, um, I know so many familiar aspects 360 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: of it that I think that offensively, when you know 361 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: what you're gonna see and you know some of the 362 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: fundamentals the philosophies of that defense, it's gonna be a 363 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: little bit like what we call it, um just plucking 364 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: a little pitch and shoot a little seven on seven, 365 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: a little um, just just taking what the defense gonna 366 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: give you. Go on and move down the field, and 367 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: that defense when it gets inside the fifteen or twenty 368 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: yard line, that's when they boat their back. That's when 369 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: they their backs against the wall and they put playmakers 370 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: in position not to only knock a ball down, but 371 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 1: to turn it over, to get a big sack, to 372 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: do something that's gonna turn that momentum. They want to 373 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: keep you just snapping the ball. Between the twenties, snap 374 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: the ball, you execute your play. You have to catch it, 375 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: you have to complete the first down. But once they 376 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: get to that goal zone, that green zone, that red zone, 377 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: whatever you call it, the defense hasn't been known to 378 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: bend their backs, and they get real stingy, and they 379 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: get real opportunistic, and that's when they look to make 380 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: big plays. They don't take a risk between the twenties, 381 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: but definitely when you get to the inside that goals on, 382 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: that's when you're gonna see the defense try to make 383 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,479 Speaker 1: a big play on both sides of the ball. And 384 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: I think when we look at it and we really 385 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: be honest with ourselves and go just level by level, 386 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: we have more playmakers on our deepen side of the 387 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: ball than the Buffalo Bills. I would concur and let 388 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: me put this out there for those who are listening 389 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,400 Speaker 1: and watching, Chris Jones has had a way better year 390 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: than people think. I'm super proud of the dude because 391 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 1: he doesn't hasn't pile up sack, so it's our sack nation. 392 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: He's fifth in the NFL in quarterback hurriage and pressures. 393 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: Go back, folks, if you're listening and watching, and go 394 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: back and watch the Cleveland game. After the Browns picked 395 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: up a first down at the thirty one yard line, 396 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: they need to touchdown to win it. On first down, 397 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 1: they get a play that's out the gate. The honey 398 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: Badger gets declared by that any seven dude, treder whatever 399 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden are a teller. But Chris 400 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Jones was able to get penetration and basically get a 401 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: hand on the belt of Chubb that slowed him down 402 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: enough that Hitchin shows up and they swallow him for 403 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: a yard. It's the cool thing liked up because Tyron 404 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: Matthew gets decleted. Right, he's sent it and he jumps 405 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: up and goes it's minus one. It's an run one. 406 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: So that's a play that does. It's not a pick. 407 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: It's not a scoop and score, but an enormous play 408 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: because that thing was ready to go at the gate 409 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: for about fifteen yards. Then Chris Jones's pressure on third 410 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 1: down causes a little bit of an errant throw by 411 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: Mayfield that's juggled by Kareem Hunt and allows Tavarius Award 412 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: he's dropping into coverage to make the reaction and tackle him. 413 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: That's what this Chiefs team has done. I went back 414 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: and looked at Buffalo. They're averaging about nine or ten 415 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: possessions a game. If you take the two the two 416 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: playoff games, and then the game we played against him 417 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: on October, it's right around nine or ten possessions. Shop. 418 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: If you can steal one of those possessions, either the 419 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,399 Speaker 1: takeaway or a three and out, it becomes magnified. In 420 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: this trophy dash we're talking about, you have time management, 421 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: controlling the possessions, understanding how important a turnover and in 422 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: stealing a possession can be in this ball game. Because 423 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 1: you're dealing with so two ball hands that are so 424 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: high powered they don't need much time to score. You 425 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: give either one of these quarterbacks ninety seconds in the 426 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: time out. You are thinking score a touchdown. It's not 427 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: just a field goal. Both of these offenses can go 428 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: vertically so quickly, and they put so much pressure on 429 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: a defense to cover all fifty three in the third yards, 430 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: cross the field and then all one hundred and twenty 431 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: yards vertically. So you gotta go from end zone the 432 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: end zone, sideline and sideline. Everybody has to be communication. 433 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: It's going to be at an all time priority. You 434 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: gotta be on a high level of communication and a 435 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: highlight bol of trust. And I truly think, I truly 436 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: think then when it comes down to it, it's gonna 437 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: be the plays made on the d defensive side of 438 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: the ball, because I think both offenses going to cancel 439 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: each other out as far as big plays, scoring opportunities, 440 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: you know, field goals, special teams, all of those things 441 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna cancel themselves out. It's gonna be a big play, 442 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: whether it's a sack by Chris Jones, Frank Clark, sac 443 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: bat Lagerias Sneed, or interception about Honey Badger or Juan 444 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: Thornhill or Sorenson. It's just over and over again, we've 445 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 1: seen our defense arrise to the occasion, whereas the Buffalo 446 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: Bills defense seems to They wait for a giveaway. They 447 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: don't take it away. They wait for you to make 448 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: a mistake and give him the ball. And I think 449 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: our offense is gonna be on their ps and ques. 450 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: They're gonna cross their teas and dot their eyes, and 451 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna be seeing one of the best football games 452 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: we've seen in this two twenty twenty one season. I'm 453 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: with you, and actually plays like Frank Clark playing the 454 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: screen game. It was great there on that on that 455 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: to get to Cleveland off the field after one first 456 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: down to set up the Henny heroics. But those defense 457 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: will rise the other one. And I haven't heard this 458 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: state a lot, but Doug dug into it some. And 459 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: I love Josh Allen. I think he's a stud And 460 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: if you study him, he has been much like you. 461 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 1: And the fact that wasn't highly recruited. Fresno's forty five 462 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: miles from He grew up in like a farming community 463 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: and nobody wanted to recruit him, Like his coach was 464 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: just sending out stuff to like thousands of schools and 465 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: nobody wanted him. And then finally Wyoming said, and he 466 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: went to Juco for a year, and Wyoming said, yeah, well, 467 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: I guess we won't to offer him, but we'll take him, 468 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: and he turns into this kid, Bye bye bye. I 469 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: have great regard for him. He's been accurate in a 470 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: stud but eleven fumbles, he's lost six. Only Derek Carr 471 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: lost more fumbles this year, this year, this year than 472 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: Josh Allen didn't lose any against the Chiefs in October, 473 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: against the Colts, he fumbled, but he recovered it. Against 474 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens, he fumbled, but he recovered it. Love this kid, 475 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,679 Speaker 1: think he's really good. What I think it is a 476 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: but you steal a possession, you take one of those 477 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: ten possessions if you can hack it out somewhere. Because 478 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: Josh Allen has fumbled eleven times and lost six of 479 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: those rascals, and that becomes enough of a thread here 480 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: to flip a game like this and you hand the 481 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 1: Lamar Hunt Trophy to the team that Lamar Hunt founded. Man, 482 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: you called it a trophy dash for a reason. It's 483 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 1: not about the marathon anymore. The season, the regular season's over, 484 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: We've we've all random marathon, we've all rested up. Now 485 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to a sixty minute dash. Four quarters. 486 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: It's nothing to hold back for. It's no tomorrow. You 487 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: got to create you but tomorrow, and that's gonna be 488 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: a full on sprint, a four quarter sprint of high, 489 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: high intensity football.

Those asist from seven to nine. That 493 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: was the marathon. Those were dirts flying, you know, they're 494 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: cussing at each other. There would be the bad guy 495 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: car with the skull and crossbones and everybody had button 496 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: and then there'd be the good you know, the good guy. 497 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 1: And then they got to the trophy dash and it 498 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: was on, baby, And that's what we've got shop. It 499 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: is now the trophy Dash for the third consecutive year 500 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs, setting an AFC record, will 501 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: host this game. So here we go, one final comment 502 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: before we jump right in and let her fly, baby, 503 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: because I'm with you. I think this will be a classic. Yeah, man, well, 504 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: I know one thing. The guy who I know will 505 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: be ready is the Honey Badger. I've seen him at 506 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: an aut He played the best game since he's been 507 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: here in Kansas City last week against the Browns, flying 508 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: across the field, calling out plays, calling out offensive sets 509 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: before they'd even ran it. He was a motivator, instigator, 510 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: he was a leader, and as far as mindset mentality, 511 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 1: being physical, making the big play coming out of halftime 512 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: to begin a third quarter the right way. So I'm 513 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: looking forward to that young man leading this not only 514 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: the defense, but this team out of that tunnel and 515 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: doing what needs to be done to get a win. 516 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: On Sunday, I thought the two week rest was huge 517 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: for him. He came out looking like he was a 518 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: freshman at LSU. He was running around, even though he 519 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: got decleted on that one play. I loved his energy 520 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: because that's the honey badger we know and love. So 521 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: maybe coming around turn three, hey, the checkered flags out 522 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: on this trophy dash. Is that the thirty two cars, 523 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: at the fifteen cars, at the eighty seven cars, that 524 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 1: the fifty nine car. Maybe that's the old shop car 525 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: that's coming around out of the shop taking the checkered 526 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: flag around the track at Richmond Motor Speedway.
