It's always about the process. What are we 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: doing each day to build, build, keep building upon what 19 00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: we're doing here in the Kingdom and what makes our 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: franchise different, what makes our organization different. Everybody in the building, 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: everybody facing the same direction, you know, everybody on the 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: same page. Coach Andy Reid does an amazing job of 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: giving everybody to see that vision and seeing how we're 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: going to accomplish it, laying out a game plan each day, 25 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 1: each game, and understanding how we're going to progress throughout 26 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: the season to become champions. And now we're here. It's 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: what we talk about in springtime on defending the Kingdom 28 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: and the summer and during training camp and during the 29 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: regular season, through all eighteen weeks and then you see 30 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: it manifested like this Matt and this team. We're gonna 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: get into this during this episode, but what this team 32 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: has done and how they got to this point. Yeah, 33 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: just how special is this? I mean, three Lamar Hunt trophies, 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: one in our stadium with confetti flying in four years 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 1: is just this isn't supposed to happen. The way the 36 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: NFL is set up, The NFL is built on parody. 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: Everyone's supposed to have a chance. And for the Chiefs 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: to host five consecutive a Championship games and to win 39 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: three of them is truly remarkable and unprecedented really in 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: NFL history. The Patriots had a great run, but they 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 1: didn't host all these games in a row and the 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs have And this one for me, I think might 43 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: be the sweetest so far, because twenty nineteen was amazing, 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: but it was kind of like a freight train, right, 45 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, or here, this is amazing. Twenty twenty 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: I think we kind of expected it. Twenty twenty one, 47 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: let's go for a three peat, right, and it was 48 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: taken away from us. So to fight through the entire 49 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: season and to finish it off against the Bengals of 50 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: all teams, and to go to the Super Bowl. Here again, 51 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: this one was the sweetest one, I think for me. 52 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: Then you take it back from the one who took 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: it from you, as you were alluding to, and that 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: made it even better. And we'll get into that here 55 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,679 Speaker 1: in a little bit. But first, which is defending the 56 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: Kingdom tradition, And now we're meeting Kingdom defenders everywhere we go.

Quite interesting history, 95 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,559 Speaker 1: big part of the history of the Chiefs Kingdom because 96 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 1: a lot of Volga German immigrants moved to the Kingdom, 97 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: and a lot of them in Kansas actually some a 98 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: lot of Central Kansas influence among Volga germ Very cool.

She was a gigantic Chiefs 104 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: fan her whole life. She listened to you, called the 105 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: win over the Jags back in the divisional round, and 106 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: passed away the next day, I believe, but just a 107 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: huge Chiefs fan. I'm sure she was watching the af 108 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: title game from above and just sorry, very sorry for 109 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 1: your loss, John, but thank you for sharing your story. 110 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: And this is why Chiefs Kingdom is so great, right, 111 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: it's a family. So eleven today people listening to DTK. 112 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: I love the fact that you picked e eleven because 113 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: I think markuis velde Is Scantling, because I think that's 114 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: just number right. Mark was veldo Is Scantling redefined his 115 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: career really up to this point. And this is not 116 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: a knock on MBS, but he kind of lived up 117 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: to the back of his baseball card, meaning oh a 118 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: lot of yards after catch. Right, he'd been the deep 119 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: threat guy. Go back and watch the fifty seven year 120 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: older against San Francisco. Truthfully was working on the target 121 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: to catch ratio, which was about his career. But never ever, ever, 122 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: even with US one hundred yard receiving game with Green Bay, 123 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: had he been You've got to do it, man, it's 124 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: the Alamo or out of Ammo. You've got to be 125 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: the guy. And I thought MVS maybe redefined his career 126 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: with the performance he had against the Jaguar. I'm I'm sorry. 127 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: Against the Bengals, well, when when all the chips were down, 128 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: when all the other receivers were coming up a little 129 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: bit um, you know, not able to go, it was 130 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 1: it was no one else to turn. It was MBS 131 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: had to be our wide receiver. One the Bengals were 132 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: going to focus on stopping him, and it was can 133 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: he win? Can he get away from Eli Apple? Is 134 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: he gonna able to elude Mike Hilton? Is he going 135 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: to be able to create the big plays and the 136 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: big catches? And not only did he create the big plays, 137 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: but the touchdown score was the first downs. He brought 138 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: the energy and the excitement we needed from our wide 139 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: receiver to make sure that the Cincinnati Bengals couldn't just 140 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: focus on taking Kelsey away and then stall our offense. 141 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: So what he did is when you talk about stepping 142 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: up to the plate, stepping up your game when most needed, 143 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: when there was no one else for us to count one. 144 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: He stepped up in the biggest moment, in the biggest time, 145 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: when we needed it to create a future. And Man, 146 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: a lot of his plays in his career up to 147 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: this point had been scheme plays. We're gonna scheme you 148 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: into a double move, right, we got you here, We're 149 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: gonna influence him here of then we're gonna This was different. 150 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: He had to make plays where it wasn't necessarily scheme 151 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: for him to be wide open. I think of the 152 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: play where he was double covered and twisted his body 153 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: over to my left is the Chiefs were going to 154 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: my left. I go, that's a signature play for him. 155 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: That in the touchdown, I think we saw a brand 156 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: new NVS that sets up possibly the rest of his career. Yeah, 157 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: it was awesome. He had to be the guy, as 158 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: Sean mentioned, because no Kadarius Tony in the second half, now, 159 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: Micole Harman, no Jujus and a schuster from much of 160 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: the second half, and it was really in a lot 161 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: of ways a statement about the Chief's season because in 162 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: the offseason, Patrick Mahomes talked about how it's going to 163 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: be everybody. It's going to take everyone, It'll be someone 164 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: new every single week. Right, We're not just going to 165 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: be an offense that goes through one or two guys. 166 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: It's going to be an entire team. And that was 167 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: manifested when you're missing half of your receiver corps in 168 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: the biggest game of the season against a very good 169 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: defense and the Bengals that have gotten the better of 170 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: the Chiefs at times, especially in second halfs over the 171 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: last two years, and MBS says, don't worry, put it 172 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 1: on me. I'm here, I'm gonna make huge plays in 173 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: the biggest game of my life. And he did so. 174 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: He had six receptions for one hundred and sixteen yards 175 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: in this game and a touchdown. Three of those catches 176 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: moved the chains on third down, one of them being 177 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: a huge nineteen yard touchdown. Just an amazing performance by 178 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: MVS and the biggest game of his career, and he 179 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: was a microcosm of a lot of things that happened. 180 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: When you think that nine main players were either entering 181 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: the game injured, some who entered the game injured and 182 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: were reinjured. Mahomes his ankle, and you think about Kelsey's back, 183 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: and you think about Nicko Bolton and his ankle, Juju 184 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: Smith Schuster his toe in his knee, and Kadarius Tony's ankle, 185 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: and Williga Jr. I'll mean, just on and on guys 186 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: either hurt during the week trying to gut it out 187 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: or hurt during the game. So now, Shop, you played 188 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: this game to play this opponent, Cincinnati very good at 189 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: this level, and to fight through all of that to 190 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: win this game. What did that tell you? Man? It 191 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: just tells me how prepared the coach and staff had 192 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: our entire team, not just the ones and twos, but 193 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: the fourth and fifth wide receiver, the second and third 194 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: tight end to be able to go in the game 195 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: and perform at that level, execute when all the pressure 196 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: everything is built up, and in that moment be able 197 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: to rise to the occasion and make the big first down, 198 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: make the big blocks. Man. It's just, man, you gotta 199 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 1: tip your hat off to the amount of detail that 200 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: was paid to this Chiefs game plan. And also it 201 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: probably caused a little bit confusion to the Bengals defense 202 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: because you're expecting to see eighty seven and eleven out there, 203 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: you're expecting to see nineteen and seventeen. You won't ready 204 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: for the other guys that when they showed up. Are 205 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: we gonna tilt this safety to the speed? Still? Are 206 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 1: we gonna we're gonna double the second tight end? Or 207 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: so I threw a probably threw a bunch of your 208 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: defensive calls a little bit off weck when he came 209 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: down to it. But again, hats off to the Chiefs 210 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: players for definitely stepping up to the moment and playing 211 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: some unexpected roles in the AFT Championship game. So I 212 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: we love you shop. That is such an interesting perspective. 213 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: And I actually said something I was thinking about during 214 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: the game. But then sky Moore played all three positions 215 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 1: with you know, he's the slot, he's the Z and 216 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: became kind of the jet sweep guy. So sky Moore 217 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: stepping up. And if you had Marcus Camp catching a 218 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: pass in the fourth quarter for thirteen yards when the 219 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs needed the most, then we'll get you a Kingdom 220 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom T shirt whenever we get Defending the 221 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Kingdom T shirts, because you deserve it. But Matt It 222 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: wasn't just on the offensive side. So Lagarius Sneed goes 223 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: down where and he's got to leave, and you're facing 224 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: one of the elite wide receiving quarters in the league. 225 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: What about the younger guys on that side. Yeah, Joshua 226 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: Williams steps in, Jawn Watson steps in, and we can 227 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: talk all about our rookies here. Way back in training camp, 228 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: coach Merritt called our rookie defensive backs the Fab five, 229 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: and those guys were Trent McDuffie, Joe and Watson, Joshua Williams, 230 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: Brian Cook, and Nazi Johnson. And the biggest game of 231 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: their lives. Here's what those players did. Trent McDuffie had 232 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: six tackles, a tackle for loss and two passes defensed. 233 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: Jawn Watson had four tackles, including one where he kept 234 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: te Higgins in bounds and then closing seconds of the 235 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: first half that eventually led to the Bengal settling for 236 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: a field goal. He had two passes defense. One of 237 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: those was the very next play on a fade to 238 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: te Higgins and an interception. Joshua Williams had four tackles, 239 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: two passes defensed, an interception, Brian Cook four tackles, a 240 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: pass defense that led to Joshua Williams interception, and then 241 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: Nazi Johnson had a special teams tackle. The moment was 242 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: not too big for these guys against one of the 243 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: best offenses and one of the best wide receiver corps 244 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 1: in the NFL. These dbs off and on an island 245 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: didn't blink. It was no problem. And what's so cool 246 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: about it is if you look back at Week thirteen 247 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,599 Speaker 1: against the Bengals, Joshua Williams in particular, there was a 248 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: few times the Bengals got him. The final play of 249 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: the game, Tee Higgins caught a pass that basically ended 250 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: the game. With Joshoe Williams and coverage, they had a 251 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: chance to make up for all of that and the 252 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: AFC title game, and those guys all held their own. 253 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: So really cool stuff from our young dbs. The future 254 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: is bright in the secondary and all of you Kingdom 255 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: defenders around the world, if you get a chance to 256 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: watch the video of the punt return by Sky Moore, 257 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: watch who makes the key blocks on that punt return. 258 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: Many of the names that you mentioned, including Jack Cochrane, 259 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: a undrafted free agent linebacker from the University of South Dakota. 260 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: But Nazi Johnson was in on that play too, So 261 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: that leads us leads me to the next point I 262 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: want to get your thoughts on, is the fact that 263 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs played eight rookies on special teams or defense 264 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: in this game. That tied an all time NFL record 265 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: in a championship game, either AFC or NFC with the 266 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty eight Chicago Bears and the twenty thirteen New 267 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: England Patriots. Then you throw in the aforementioned sky More 268 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: and the aforementioned Isaiah Pacheco Shop. Ten rookies. Yeah, that 269 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: was like forty eight guys that played in this game. 270 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: Ten of the forty eight to win this game. We're 271 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: guys that were rookies. Well, I'm gonna have to We're 272 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to stop calling them rookies because usually in 273 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 1: an NFL career, your first year, when you're a first 274 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: year player, you might get a hundred snaps and that's 275 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: that's one hundred snaps for you to go in the 276 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: offseason and then try to build upon it your second year. 277 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: These guys have been playing, I mean they got a 278 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: hundred snaps out the way by mid season. And so yes, 279 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: they're first year players and sometimes first year players because 280 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: you don't have enough film on them, it's hard to 281 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 1: gain playing against You don't know if inside leverage is 282 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: truly what you're seeing. You don't know if a bump 283 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: and run is not bail technique, because you just don't 284 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: have enough film on these guys to know exactly what 285 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: you're up against. So it's kind of a double aired sword. Yeah, 286 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: they don't have the experience, but they have so much 287 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: energy and they have so much desire to do the 288 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: right thing. And these guys when you talk about swagger 289 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: and confidence, and like you said, Coach Mary built it 290 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: in them from the back end down our rookies, our 291 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: first year players. Man, they played like savvy bets all 292 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: game long. And there was not a moment in that 293 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: game where the moment was too big for him and 294 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: they all rose up to the occasion. Yeah it was, 295 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: and we saw that even in the summer with these guys. 296 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: But they just continue to grow and now they'll be 297 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 1: on the biggest stage in Super Bowl fifty seven. But Matt, 298 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: before we get into Shop's dichotomy here of his career, 299 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the redemption factor because 300 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: this script. We've said it before, like Ted Lasso's screenwriters 301 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: are brilliant, right, You're thinking, these are awesome writers. They 302 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: couldn't have thought of this script because an episode low, 303 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: let's see four or five Skymore Muffs punts and the 304 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs lose to the Colts and Muff's a punt against 305 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers and he's a dunce and get 306 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: him out of here, and then he comes up with 307 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: that biggest punt return maybe in the Andy Reid era 308 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: of Chiefs football. And then you get Harrison Butker missing, 309 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: Pats miss and he's been hurt and he missed his 310 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: field goals and he had the one legged field goal 311 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: at Arizona but he missed. Oh my gosh, he's missed it. 312 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: What do we got? And then he kicks a kick 313 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: into the wind that hung up there for years and 314 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 1: then drops over the crossbar. Those two guys in particular, Yes, 315 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: they could have wilted and melted long ago. It was 316 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: so awesome. And it's funny you mentioned the script stuff 317 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: because you and I talk about the movie Draft Day 318 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: a lot, and it's one of those things my wife's 319 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: favorite movie I'm like, yeah, like, well, watch it good. 320 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: But my wife will ask me about it, like is 321 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: this kind of how things work behind the scenes. I'm like, no, 322 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: this is entirely unrealistic and it's ridiculous and everything. If 323 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: the sequence at the end of the AFC Tattle game 324 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: was a movie, we would say this isn't realistic because 325 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: this would never happen, right. But that's why after the game, 326 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: when I saw you, after we were jumping up and 327 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: down and screaming for a while, I'm like, this is 328 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: why football is the greatest game on earth. Because Skymore 329 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: can go through his struggles this season, Harrison Butker can 330 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: go through his struggles this season. But for each of 331 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: those guys, for the biggest punt return of Skymore's life 332 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: and the biggest kick of Harrison Butker's life, no problem, 333 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: they're going to come through. And how cool is that? 334 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: And that's why if you followed this team the entire season, 335 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: you go through the ups and the downs. That's why 336 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: that moment is so satisfying because Skymore's not nervous, He's 337 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: not going to drop the punt. He's like, I've got this. 338 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: Not only am I going to catch this I'm going 339 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: to run it for twenty nine yards and get the 340 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs knocking on the door of field goal range. And 341 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: then when the Chiefs get in Harrison Butcker's range on 342 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: a very cold night where the ball is like a rock, 343 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: he knocks a forty five yard field goal through the 344 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: uprights and sends the Chiefs to the super Bowl. It's 345 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: just awesome, And it's why we care more about just 346 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: the team. If we care about the players, we care 347 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: about them as people and the stories and what they've 348 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: fought through to get here, and for those two guys 349 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: to come through in the end and to send the 350 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs to the super Bowl. I listened to a lot 351 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: of sport talk radio, and before the playoffs started, you 352 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: kept hearing, oh Man, special teams are going to hold 353 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs back in the playoffs. Special teams sent the 354 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: Chiefs to the super Bowl. Just it's so awesome. Yeah, 355 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: it's so He's gonna throw shade on guys ort and 356 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: things during the season. It's such a long twists and turns, 357 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: but it also tells you about the infrastructure this Chiefs 358 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: team and the fact that there is such it's such 359 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: a great environment because they stayed with sky More and 360 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: they stayed here at Ston Packer because they knew they 361 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: could do it. It's interesting. Your old team mate Dante 362 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: Hall was my Chief's Kingdom guests on the radio Monday 363 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,959 Speaker 1: Night is awesome. But he's like he saw sky More. 364 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: There's nobody left. All the dudes that did it before 365 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: we're hurt or not active. So he's the only guy laught. 366 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: And so Dante's along, just don't feel that, just let 367 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: it bounce, just let it And then he saw it's 368 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: a returnable punt, and then Dante said, go, go, go, 369 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: But it was just funny to hear that. All right, 370 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 1: let's get got, but he isn't. How amazing is it? 371 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: From coach Dave Tobe's point of view, the same thing. 372 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: People throwing shade on Tobe. He's done. It's worst Tobes 373 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: worst year. But every other phase you got first strings, 374 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: second string, third string, there's another guy you can put 375 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: in if somebody's not doing well. You don't have a 376 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: second kicker, you don't have multiple return like you got 377 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: the gas you got and you gotta make it work. 378 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: In the biggest moment, your first return goes down McCole Hardman, 379 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: your second Tony goes down, and now you're dealing with 380 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: a guy that everybody told you to give up on 381 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 1: because during the season three unfortunate plays kind of took 382 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: him off the field. No point did Dave Tobe ever 383 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: lose faith in the kid. He continued to make him 384 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: go out there and catch punches, catch punts, work on 385 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: his craft. You never know when we're gonna need you. 386 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: And having that moment arrived where the confidence, in all 387 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: the faith to coach Tobe had in this young man 388 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: to have it culminate in that point, in this moment 389 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: of the AFC Championship game, is gonna do amazing things 390 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: for that young man's career. Oh and maybe Tommy Townsend 391 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: did okay holding the ball? What about holder that was 392 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: ted last episode twelve, Holder Gate and the fact that 393 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: we overlook what Tommy Townson's meant to this team in 394 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: that punting because the Chiefs all they're going to decide 395 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: the punt when it's twenty to twenty, Burroughs gonna get 396 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: the ball back. Oh look where he got the ball back? Yes, okay, 397 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: and Tommy Towns has done that all year long. Easy 398 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: to take that for granted. Okay, we're gonna close it 399 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: out this way on our Super Bowl fifty seven Edition, 400 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: Part one, we're gonna get into the weeds of the 401 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: game a lot more next week in the Phoenix area 402 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: with Actually we're gonna have a couple of dtks for you, 403 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: But we've got to talk about how intriguing this specific 404 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: super Bowl is, and in many ways more than any 405 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: of the fifty six preceding Super Bowls because of all 406 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: of the ties, starting with our own shop, our own 407 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: spider Man.

Well, in my own house 414 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: when I look through the closet, of course, everybody knows 415 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: that barbershop jersey. Before I was ever a chief. Oh oh, 416 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: for those of you listening and not watching, it's a 417 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles. I was listen that two thousand and two 418 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: years I was probably an alternate for the Pro Bowl. 419 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: I had an over one hundred tackles. Big play. I mean, 420 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,880 Speaker 1: Jim Johnson, God blessing soul. You talk about a guy 421 00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: that was out there just playing with his hair on fire. 422 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: I was the wheel linebacker. I was all over that 423 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: freaking field. Me and Brian Dawkins were like Batman and 424 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: robbing that season. Man. I mean this jersey right here, 425 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: it's a game one jersey. It means so much to me. 426 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: But when I got to the Kingdom and I decided 427 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: to trade in the Emer and Green or Emer and 428 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: black for the Chiefs Colors. Man, this yeah, that's right, 429 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: Throw that one away. This is the one, all right, 430 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: when it's time for me to be laid to to 431 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: to rest, this is the one you need to put 432 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: on my tombstone right here, May in fifty nine barbershop, 433 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: this is the one I'm going with. Man, So shout 434 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: out to the Chiefs Kingdom. But it's been other players, right. 435 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: We talked about Jemmy Macklin, We talked about Shady McCoy, 436 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 1: Jason na Vaughan, awesome faith driven guy, want such a 437 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: solid special teams for not only the Eagles but for 438 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: Kansas City. And then a little Wisnewski wins the Super 439 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: Bowl with both teams players. And then this is a 440 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: laundry list of coaches that came from that Philadelphia Northeast 441 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: corridor and made their way to the Midwest. It's so 442 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: many different connection points between Kansas City Chiefs and the 443 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, but I think it begins and starts, starts 444 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: and stops with coach Andy Reid and the amount of 445 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: man this the faith driven family football and faith in 446 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,880 Speaker 1: the way he leads this organization is one for the ages. Man. 447 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 1: So yeah, and man, I'll get your closing thoughts on this, 448 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: but really the infrastructure and the guts of this ten 449 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 1: year run in the Chiefs kingdom, which has been unprecedented 450 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: in franchise history and in some ways and closing out 451 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: on many ways unprecedented National Football League history. It's it's there. 452 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: We'll get into this more next week in Phoenix. Marked down, 453 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: even President of the Chiefs was with the Eagles. You 454 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: mentioned coach fourteen seasons with the Eagles. Bread Veach was 455 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: with the Eagles. Coach Melvin was with the Eagles. Gelu 456 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: played for the Eagles. Coach with the Eagles. We go 457 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: right down the line here Mike Fraser, all these guys 458 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: there is the twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two Kansas 459 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: City Chiefs were really a byproduct, a strong byproduct of 460 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 1: those fourteen years of Andy Reid in Philadelphia. Yeah one. 461 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: And the culture is something that I think is very 462 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: similar in both places. And you can look at the 463 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: story of both seasons for these teams and you can 464 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: see that culture at work. Both those teams stuck with 465 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: what they knew. We know the culture that we have here, 466 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: we know the players that we have here. We're going 467 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: to trust our guys. And both teams are fourteen and 468 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 1: three even clashing in the Super Bowl. And that culture 469 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: is something that makes these teams both so great and 470 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: it's no accident. It's something that takes years and years 471 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: to cultivate and we're so fortunate to have that culture here. 472 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: If you lined up engineers, we have so many awesome 473 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: engineers in the Chis Kingdom and now around the world 474 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: that are Chiefs fans and part of the Chiefs Kingdom. 475 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: If you had engineers and architects that were together on 476 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: a project and is laid out blueprints and designs on 477 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: a table, and they'll say that those designs were for 478 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: the twenty thirteen to twenty twenty two Kansas City Chiefs. 479 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: Some third party observer would go, well, wait a minute, 480 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: wasn't that the nineteen ninety nine to twenty twelve Philadelphia Eagles, 481 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: And the answer would be yes, he's Sean Barber, he's 482 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: Matt McMullen, IM Mitch Holter's voice to the Chiefs. We're 483 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: headed to Phoenix, and we will have more defending the 484 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: kingdom for you next week. In fact, two episodes will 485 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: jump more into Super Bowl fifty seven. Until then, enjoy 486 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: the ride, everybody, and get ready to win another championship. 487 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: Touchdown and the celebration begins in their hand
