We 178 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 4: always get their best, They always got bess And when 179 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 4: you're playing the best, everybody uprise their play and you 180 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: feel the energy is electric and you just want to 181 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: be in that moment when made the big play and 182 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: God's just feeding off each other. 183 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: So I think we match up. Well, we've got to 184 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: go out there and do our job. 185 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: They've added Xavier Worthy ran a four to forty at 186 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 2: the Combine, a new record. How has that impacted trying 187 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: to defend the Chiefs. 188 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 4: I think we played fast guys before, and that's the 189 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 4: life of the NFL. You know, I still don't think 190 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 4: he got Tyreek Hill, but that's one of the fast 191 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 4: guys I've ever seen a play, though. We'll go see 192 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 4: on Sunday. 193 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 2: That's a good point. Tyreek Kel was on that one 194 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 2: team when you made the pick. In fact, the past 195 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: was thrown for him. Last question. In late August, after 196 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: he was cut by New England, the Chiefs signed Juju 197 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 2: Smith Schuster. Obviously you two have a history. 198 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 7: There's a pressure from the Bengals. Roethlis Porter, Juju Smith 199 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 7: Schuster is blown up and the whistles blow. Bun Bell 200 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 7: not messing around. 201 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: You've played against him since the big hit on Monday 202 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: Night Football? Is there communication? Is there a look exchanged? 203 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 2: Have you ever mentioned it? What happens after a play 204 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 2: like that, I. 205 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 1: Think it's sorry sitting done, and he's got mutual speke 206 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: for me. I haven't respect families. 207 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 4: He's a guy out there playing receiver and I'm just 208 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 4: going at the time do my job at. 209 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: A high level. So there's no beef, but nothing. It's ball. 210 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: We look forward to seeing you play ball on Sunday. 211 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for the time, best of luck. 212 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: Just say thank you for having me. 213 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 2: It's worth noting that since that fumble forcing hit in 214 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 2: December of twenty twenty, Juju Smith Schuster no longer performs 215 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: TikTok dances on the other team's logo before games. Patrick 216 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: Mahomes has a fifteen and three record in postseason play, 217 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 2: including three Super Bowl titles. The only quarterbacks to beat 218 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: him in the playoffs are Tom Brady, who did it twice, 219 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow. Burrow certainly wasn't bad last week, completing 220 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 2: seventy two percent of his passes, and he threw two 221 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 2: balls that could have been or should have been touchdowns. 222 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: Mike Kasicki's TV catch was overturned on replay, and Tanner 223 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 2: Hudson fumbled just before getting to the goal line. Having 224 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 2: said that it wasn't vintage Burrow, and the scrutiny of 225 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 2: his wrist has reached absurd levels, including analysis on social 226 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: media of the way he lifted a water bottle while 227 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: sitting on the bench. Joe has actually asked about it 228 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: at a news conference on Wednesday. 229 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 8: I picked it up, weird. Yes, I don't know I 230 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 8: drank water. I can't say I've seen that or know 231 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 8: what anybody's talking about. Yeah, that's always tough when you're 232 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 8: coming back from injury, you haven't played in a while, 233 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 8: you're not quite sure how it's gonna feel. 234 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 9: That's part of it. Week one, nobody's panicking sat up 235 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 9: here and said that before. Unfortunately we're in the same 236 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 9: spot after week one, but we got another opportunity on Sunday, 237 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 9: and we got fifteen more opportunities after that to go 238 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 9: and get better and show what we're all about. 239 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 10: So we're excited for that. 240 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: Sunday's game begins at four to twenty five, meaning it 241 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 2: will have a huge national TV audience, and the number 242 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: one broadcasting crew for CBS will be on the call 243 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 2: when the Bengals take out the Chiefs. We think of 244 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 2: two names on the field, Burrow and Mahomes and two 245 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: names in the booth, Nancy Remo, and we are delighted 246 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 2: to be joined by the great Jim Nance. 247 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 11: Jim. 248 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: This will be the sixth time in a little more 249 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: than three years that you guys have called the Bengals 250 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 2: Chiefs game, and the previous ones have all been thrillers. 251 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: Do you think the Bengals have a unique ability to 252 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 2: go toe to toe with the two time defending Super 253 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: Bowl champs? 254 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 3: They definitely have. By the way, great to see you, Dan, 255 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,479 Speaker 3: Great to be with you again, Hello friend. I definitely 256 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 3: feel that the Bengals know how to compete with the 257 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: Chiefs better than anyone. Yeah, Roof is in all these results, 258 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 3: we've had, all these field goal games, margins in the end, 259 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 3: and even though everybody right now is shaking their head 260 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 3: off of last week's performance against the Patriots, we just 261 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: know that Zach Taylor, his staff and Joe and this 262 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 3: team know how to go down to arrowhead, not be intimidated, 263 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: and not only hang with them, but often win. So 264 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 3: it's going to be something to. 265 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: See every time we've had one of these conversations. I've 266 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: asked you some question about Joe Burrow, so I'm trying 267 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 2: to think of something new, and I'm going to put 268 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: you on the spot. You are the greatest golf announcer 269 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 2: of all time. So what golf legend comes to mind 270 00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 2: when you think of Joe Burrow. 271 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to keep that one in the because 272 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 3: we're going to count his days at Ohio State before 273 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: it went down to Alice. 274 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:06,719 Speaker 11: You. 275 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: We're going to keep it in the Buckeye family. But 276 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: there are some that's an interesting question. By the way, 277 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to go with the Golden Bear, Jack Nicholas. 278 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm only going to go with the greatest 279 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: of all time here, and by that, I'm not saying 280 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: that Joe is the greatest of all time. You're talking 281 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 3: about just in terms of the way he carries himself, 282 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 3: goes about his business and everything. I do see that 283 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 3: if I had to figure out a golf legend, because 284 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 3: Joe is brilliantly smart, strategically brilliant as well when it 285 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: comes to what he needs to do, where the ball 286 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 3: needs to go, how to handle himself. He's fully prepared 287 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: as Jack was. No one prepared harder than Jack Nicholas, 288 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:57,079 Speaker 3: and his execution is spot on also, So I'll go 289 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 3: with Jack Nicholas. You know you think about Arnold Palmer. No, 290 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 3: I don't see it there, the swash buckling Arnold Palmer. No, 291 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 3: that might be more like a Mahomes type comparison. Gary Player. 292 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: I'm going through the list of all the old greats, 293 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: but I think Jack Nicholas is a good one. I'll 294 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: give him Jack. I'm going to tell him. By the way, 295 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: in the production meeting, I got asked this interesting question. 296 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 3: I know he plays a little bit of golf, and 297 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 3: hopefully he'll like that comparison. 298 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 2: We're visiting with Jim Nantz. We're a week into the season. 299 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: We reference the Bengals slow start. What are your question 300 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: marks about the Bengals at this point? 301 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: Just the outside game, you know how that's such an 302 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: important part of the success of the Bengals, is being 303 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: able to go vertical and have a threat from the outside. 304 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 3: And with t being injured again and you know it's 305 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 3: going to take a lot for him to come back 306 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 3: from a hamstring after only one week, so I'm not 307 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 3: counting on him. And Jamar, you know, can't quite be 308 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 3: the Jamorrow. We know number one without Tea on the 309 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 3: other side, Number two having missed a significant amount of 310 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: camp and all this controversy up in the air. By 311 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: the way, no Tyler Boyd either, So my biggest question 312 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 3: with them is just the weaponry that is around Joe Burrow. 313 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 3: And by the way, I didn't even mention Joe Mixon, 314 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: So I mean, Joe certainly had a lot to still offer, 315 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 3: as we saw last week with a great performance in 316 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: a Texans uniform. So yeah, I guess the biggest questions 317 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 3: I have right now going to this game is what's 318 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: this offense going to look like? When are they going 319 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: to start playing the brand of football that we've come 320 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 3: to expect and appreciated watching a really exciting, dangerous team 321 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 3: from any point on the field. Is that when is 322 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 3: that going to be rekindled? 323 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: Joe commands so much attention, and rightfully so for his 324 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: great play at quarterback, But from these Bengals Chiefs games 325 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: that you've done and thrilling finishes, is there a Bengals 326 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: player that you think deserves more of the national spotlight 327 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 2: than he gets? 328 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 3: You know, Mike Hilton. We definitely have built him up 329 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: through the ears, and he's certainly got some postseason recognition. 330 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 3: I actually think the biggest Bengal that gets short changed 331 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: a little bit in terms of credit is a guy 332 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 3: that cares the least about the credit, and that's your 333 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 3: head coach. He's just so comfortable being who he is, 334 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: not having to have a light shone on him. I'm 335 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 3: really blown away by the way he conducts himself. He's 336 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 3: just first class and people don't rattle off his name 337 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 3: as one of these young geniuses out there in the 338 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 3: NFL as far as a head coach, but he is. 339 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 3: I mean, he's done remarkable things. So I think the 340 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: one person that deserves a little bit more fanfare about 341 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 3: him would be Zach. I just I don't see him 342 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 3: getting quite that upper echelon kind of mentioned, oh you 343 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 3: got to talk about this guy, that guy, and he's 344 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 3: not on that list. He's really built it. So maybe 345 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 3: we need to do a better job of that starting 346 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 3: this weekend when they come in here and give the 347 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,719 Speaker 3: Chiefs a great game right down to the wire. By 348 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 3: the way, all these games that we've done, I know, 349 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 3: the favorite one for the Bengal Faithful would be the 350 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: AFC Championship game at Arrowhead. But the one that was 351 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 3: the real eye opener for me was that at that 352 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 3: point it was a seventeen week regular season and it 353 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 3: was the win at the wire, win the division that year, 354 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 3: that Super Bowl year, Brandon Allen had to come into 355 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 3: the end. He goes, Joe got nicked on first or 356 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 3: second down near the goal line, and you know, they 357 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 3: used up the clock and took a couple of with 358 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 3: a backup quarterback and then kick the winner. And that 359 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 3: was the game where Chase went crazy, went over two 360 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 3: hundred yards as a rookie, And that was probably my 361 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 3: most the game I enjoyed the most. It was absolutely 362 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 3: took your breath away watching one big play after another. 363 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: You had a spectacular call in that game, Chase, there 364 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: is no Chase. I love that as he was pulling 365 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 2: away from seemingly everybody on the Chiefs roster. But I 366 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 2: want to talk about what I consider to be one 367 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 2: of your all time most iconic calls, and that came 368 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: on Evan McPherson's game winning field goal that sent the 369 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 2: Bengals to the Super Bowl. Just before the kick, you 370 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 2: said this could be a sentence that a month ago 371 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 2: would sound incomprehensible. What a great word to pull that 372 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 2: one out. And then after the kick, Cincinnati is headed 373 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. Is there anything better in this 374 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 2: job than having one of those moments and saying the 375 00:18:58,640 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: right thing off the cuff. 376 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 3: Well, we're always trying to you know, we make our 377 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 3: living with our words. That's the toolkit we bring to 378 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 3: work every day, and believe me, they don't always feel 379 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 3: like they landed. You're trying, and I appreciate you resurrecting 380 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 3: those words because I truly could not have quoted it 381 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 3: word for word like that. But I do remember the 382 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 3: excitement when that ball went through. I had no doubt 383 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 3: he was going to make the kick, so I definitely 384 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 3: would have recalled saying something about the unlikelihood of that moment. 385 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,159 Speaker 3: It's one of those things that it kind of was 386 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 3: foreshadowing that he was already going to make the kick 387 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: in a way, but it kind of all that I 388 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 3: said in the preamble wouldn't have matched up with a 389 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 3: block field goal, and it only really worked if he did, 390 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 3: you know, he did the thing he was supposed to do, 391 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: knock it through the uprights, and it just it kind 392 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: of reminds me a little bit of when Tiger won 393 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 3: the twenty nineteen He masters and I probably got a 394 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: little ahead of myself because he still had you know, 395 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 3: I still had like two and a half feet to win. 396 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,439 Speaker 3: And I said, it's kind of a stylistically in a 397 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 3: similar way, I said, oh, you know something about paraphrasing. 398 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 3: I know the last line. But all the talk, all 399 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 3: the years, people wondered, would we ever see a moment 400 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 3: like this. Well, now here it is laid out, knocked 401 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 3: it in the center of a cup, which again the 402 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: preamble was assuming there was going to be the payoff, 403 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: and the payoff line, there was the return to glory, 404 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: and it just it's like one sentence with a pause 405 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 3: in between for the athlete to go, do what I'm 406 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 3: expecting you're going to do, kick it through the uprights, 407 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: knock it in from two and a half three feet, 408 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: and then it works and it feels like you found 409 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 3: a sweet spot. Trust me, it's not always that way. 410 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: But thank you for quoting that, Dan, Thank you. 411 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 2: I've got time for one last question. I better ask 412 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: you one about the Chiefs. So they won their opener 413 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 2: by a tell literally what impressed you by Kansas City 414 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 2: About Kansas City on opening night. 415 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 3: I think they could be better. I think they could 416 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 3: be physically better than they were. I think That's almost 417 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 3: a pretty easy argument to present because they have more 418 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 3: speed and they don't even have Hollywood brown Back yet. 419 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: He's going to be another big weapon. But we saw 420 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 3: it with Worthy breaking Xavier Worthy the rookie scoring two touchdowns. 421 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 3: They had nothing like that to call on last year. 422 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 3: I mean, in fact, they won going through road games, 423 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: you having to win at Buffalo and at Baltimore and Mahomes. 424 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 3: Patrick really did not have anything on the outside that 425 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 3: he could trust. You know, he had Kelsey work in 426 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 3: the middle of the field, and every once in a 427 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: while if he would catch it and if Eldz Scantling 428 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 3: would would make something happen. Very occasionally. I've been only 429 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 3: caught like thirty balls on the year. So now all 430 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 3: of a sudden, Rashid Rice looks like a solid wide 431 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 3: receiver one in this league, worthy as a threat anytime 432 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 3: he steps on the field, and maybe their best receiver 433 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 3: of all is going to set out the first four weeks. 434 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 3: So they're better. Their offensive line is just fine, their 435 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: defense has got another year of seasoning. They're dangerous. Now. 436 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: It takes a lot more than just being the best 437 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 3: physically gifted team to win, and you're going to have 438 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: this story. They can handle it all year long. Going 439 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: for the first ever three p that's a lot to bear, 440 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 3: but so was last year going through the playoffs and 441 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,199 Speaker 3: having to win those road games. I mentioned. It's going 442 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 3: to be a really fun team to watch. 443 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 2: This Chad is always one of the highlights of my season. 444 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: I can't thank you enough. Keep up the awesome work. 445 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 2: We look forward to seeing your call on Sunday. 446 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Great to be with you. I 447 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 3: love our tradition, so thank you. 448 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 2: It might not be a tradition unlike any other, but 449 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 2: I truly appreciate Jim making time for me every year. 450 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 2: The Bengals Booth Podcast is brought to you by Paid Corps, 451 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: proud to be the Bengals official HR software provider, by 452 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 2: Alta Fiber future Proof Fiber Internet designed to elevate your home, business, 453 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: and community to a new level, and by Kettering Health 454 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: the best care for the best fans.

Now time for 456 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: this week's Know the Faux Segment. Dana Hughes played wide 457 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: receiver for the Chiefs for six years in the nineteen 458 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 2: nineties and is currently the analyst on the radio broadcasts. 459 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: He joined Dave Lapham and me this week on the 460 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: Bengals Game Plan Show. I want to start with this. 461 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,560 Speaker 2: The Chiefs were able to keep the core of the 462 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 2: two time defending Super Bowl champion roster and they have 463 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 2: added some great players in wide receiver Xavier Worthy and 464 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown. This scares me to ask, but do you 465 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 2: think the Chiefs are actually improved in twenty twenty five? 466 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 11: Yeah, you know what, Thanks for having me, guys. This 467 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 11: is gonna be an epic week. Obviously, this matchup a 468 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 11: rivalry and a lot of respects. But you know, as 469 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 11: far as the makeup of this team, I think it 470 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 11: potentially has the ability to do so. I mean last 471 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 11: year going eleven and six, with the drops that we experienced, 472 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 11: the losses that we had, a lot of people say 473 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 11: that that wasn't even our best version of the Chiefs 474 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 11: in these three super Bowl runs. So like, I feel 475 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 11: like this organization, Brett Beach, Andy Reid has done a 476 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 11: dynamic job of always filling in the gaps. And if 477 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 11: you go back to even when Tyreek Hill was here 478 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 11: and then we traded him away and got all the 479 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 11: draft picks for him, there was like addition by subtraction, 480 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 11: and that may be the case even now with the 481 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 11: construction of this offense, specifically Hollywood Brown, I not play 482 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 11: this week, still nursing that shoulder injury. At the same time, 483 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 11: what we saw in week one from the other task 484 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 11: of receivers gives us a lot of hope here in 485 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 11: Kansas City and a lot of optimism. So is it 486 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 11: a better version? Tom will tell But I like what 487 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 11: we look like right now, Well, I'll tell you. 488 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 10: Patrick Mahomes obviously is the straw that sers that drink. 489 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 10: Always hasn't been, always will be in the in the 490 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 10: opening victory in the fourth quarter, had a perfect quarterback 491 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 10: rating five for five sixty eight yards average, thirteen point 492 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 10: six per completion, touchdown pass, no interceptions, a perfect fourth quarter. 493 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 10: He seems to play big in the biggest moments of 494 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 10: football games. He does it all the time, doesn't he. 495 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 11: Well, the challenge is that I want to say, maybe 496 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 11: the last time he didn't was in the AFT Championship 497 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 11: against you guys, So like that's but having to go 498 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 11: that far backwards is encouraging as a Chiefs fan. And 499 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 11: you're right, like pressure buss pipes. But Patrick Mahomes doesn't 500 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 11: feel that same kind of pressure. And I think, you know, 501 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 11: when you're a leader like that, your attitude, that aura 502 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 11: kind of permeates through the entire team, not just the 503 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 11: offensive huddle. So I feel like if you ask players, 504 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 11: and I'm in the locker room after the games, I'm 505 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 11: asking questions, interviewing guys wins or losses, and to a 506 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 11: man like you can see kind of an even keel mindset. 507 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 11: They're just kind of you know, you know, we didn't 508 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 11: play out best and we lost. We played really good 509 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,360 Speaker 11: and we played it good enough to win. And it's 510 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 11: never the highs and lows. You never walk in there 511 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 11: and hear anybody screaming at each other. You never see 512 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 11: any face to face altercations. I've been in that locker room. 513 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 11: I've played for six years here in Kansas City. I 514 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 11: can tell you from experience there's been times where guys 515 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 11: had to be separated back in those days in the nineties, 516 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 11: and you don't ever see that. I think that's why 517 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 11: this team can remain balanced and remain strong is because 518 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 11: their leadership, even from the top. I heard the story 519 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 11: about Travis Kelce. I want to say it was Xavier 520 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 11: Worthy that was sitting by himself in OTA's and lunch, 521 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 11: and Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes just came over and 522 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 11: sat with him by himself. And you know that's not normal. 523 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 11: That's not normal behavior for veterans in regards to not 524 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 11: hazing or embracing young guys. But they have a bigger 525 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 11: picture of mine. I want to say that the leadership 526 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 11: is the main cause of that. These guys understand the 527 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 11: task at hand. They were talking about it before they 528 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 11: even touched the trophy in Las Vegas, that it was 529 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 11: about the three pet and they're doing everything they can 530 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 11: control to get there. 531 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 2: Chiefs radio analyst Dan and Hughes is our guest in 532 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 2: this salary cap era, when you've got one of the 533 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 2: highest paid quarterbacks, it's impossible to keep everybody, and the 534 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 2: Chiefs were not able to keep a great corner and 535 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 2: lugarious sneak. How do you feel about the Chief's secondary 536 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 2: having lost one of the best cover corners in the league. 537 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 11: Yeah, that was a big loss. And I'm not in 538 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 11: the point of saying that it's an audition by subtraction yet, 539 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,400 Speaker 11: but I will say that what we've done in previous 540 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 11: years got us to this point where you can feel 541 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 11: some comfort in regards to the depth at the defensive 542 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 11: back position. When you lose Lagarious Need, but you have 543 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 11: Joshua Williams and Jalen Watson who have had ample playing 544 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 11: time in the last previous two years and two Super 545 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 11: Bowl runs. You feel comfortable. Now, do you feel like 546 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 11: one side of the field is locked down? No, but 547 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 11: you do feel comfortable. And if we can get we 548 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 11: know the key to every coverage is a pass rush, 549 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 11: and if you can get around the body of opposing quarterbacks, 550 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 11: We've got like George Carl Loftus and Chris Jones and 551 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 11: Mike Danna, and then when you know we get guys 552 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 11: back off the shelf, we've been Steve's Nolo has drawn 553 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 11: up a great, great defense the complement on offense. There's 554 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 11: confidence there. So I don't think you can say in 555 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 11: week two that you've successfully filled the shoes of a 556 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,239 Speaker 11: Jerious Need. But I think what you can say at 557 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 11: this point is that you're comfortable with the depth that 558 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 11: you had. Jayden Hicks, a draft pick this year, has 559 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 11: really shown something in regards to the depth at the 560 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 11: safety position. Shamari Connor is the guy that really played 561 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 11: strongly last year his rookie campaign. So like the depth 562 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 11: is there, the shutdown angle, I'm not sure yet. 563 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 10: Let me ask you about Worthy. Worthy is obviously a 564 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 10: blur for fastest sever recorded combine. I mean, he joins 565 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 10: five other players. They have a touchdown receiving and a 566 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 10: touchdown rushing in their career debut in the National Football 567 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 10: League history, one of six guys. And when he turned 568 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 10: the corner, when he played on his foot and cut 569 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 10: up the kilt, it looks like everybody else was in concrete. Man, 570 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 10: he was unbelievable. 571 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 3: Unbelievable. 572 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean Andy Reid, I call him a mad 573 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 11: scientist of offense. He just sits back and you can 574 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 11: imagine in late nights, the creativity, the juice is flowing, 575 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,959 Speaker 11: the wheels turning in his head about how he can 576 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 11: make this offense better and how he can make players 577 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 11: dynamic and force success upon them. And that's what you 578 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 11: get with Xavier Worthy. Four two to one speed. Now, 579 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 11: if you just line him up on the outside of 580 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 11: the numbers and just say, okay, run these routes, you're 581 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 11: not necessarily going to get the best effect or the 582 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 11: best success from that. So what do you do you 583 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 11: move him in motion so he doesn't have bump and 584 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 11: run coverage. You get him in space, you run him 585 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 11: out of the slot, you run jet sweeps. Now teams 586 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 11: have to have to be justified in respecting the jet sweep. 587 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 11: What's that going to do for other receivers like Rashid 588 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 11: Rice running that play action off of that, So like 589 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 11: it's all part of the process. And Andy Reid is 590 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 11: one of the best, if not the best, to ever 591 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 11: garner a headset for an offense, and like that speed 592 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,959 Speaker 11: is killer and can you only imagine what it's going 593 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 11: to look like when Hollywood Brown is a part of 594 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 11: the offense and back healthy. He's like those two complimenting 595 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 11: each other. And then where she Rice and Travis Kelcey 596 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 11: running the crossing routes, the shallow crosses, the pick routes, 597 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 11: et cetera. As long as we can protect up front, 598 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,479 Speaker 11: Like I like our offense and how it compliments everything 599 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 11: about our team. 600 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 2: Hollywood didn't practice today. Do you think it's unlikely that 601 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: he will play on Sunday? 602 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 11: I feel like it's unlikely. I mean, if we're talking 603 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 11: about Wednesday practice. You know, if I was a betting person, 604 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 11: which I'm not. You just have to feel like if 605 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 11: you've been injured for a long period of time and 606 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,040 Speaker 11: you've missed a couple of games, you missed preseason games. 607 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 11: We had kind of a a semi bye week this 608 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,120 Speaker 11: past week because we played on Thursday night, and you're 609 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 11: still not healthy. We go to Atlanta next week. I 610 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 11: feel like, if he's not full speed and ready to 611 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 11: go through the dog days of practices on Wednesday and Thursday, 612 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 11: then I'm not sure that you would throw him to 613 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 11: the Wolves on Sunday, especially against a team like the 614 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 11: Cincinnati Bengals. So if I was a guessing person, a 615 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 11: betting person, I would say it would be it would 616 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 11: be not possible that he would be out there and playing. 617 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 10: We mentioned him, mentioned him briefly, Chris Jones, and as 618 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 10: a former offensive lineman. Anytime the Chiefs are an opponent, 619 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 10: I'm like, oh my god, Chris Jones, this guy, you know, 620 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 10: he and Aaron Donald. It was like one one A 621 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 10: and I actually had him one in Aaron Donald one A. 622 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 10: I think Chris Jones is a beast in every sense 623 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 10: of the word. And I mean you have to have 624 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,160 Speaker 10: four hands and four eyes on him. You have to 625 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 10: locate him. It's like when you come to the line 626 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 10: of scrimmage, a quarterback is looking for you know, keys 627 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 10: for coverage. Lineman and quarterback have to find him and 628 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 10: they got to make sure that he's taken care of. 629 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,040 Speaker 10: And is he still doing the same stuff. Is he 630 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 10: going up and down the line of scrimmage without any 631 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 10: kind of pattern to rhyme or reason, looking for the 632 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 10: biggest fish. 633 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's what I was just about to mention, is 634 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 11: the versatility of Chris Jones. I think that's to me 635 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 11: what stands out about him. Yes, his motor is great, 636 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 11: he's dominant one on one. I feel sorry for the 637 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 11: offensive lineman, but now when you move him from over 638 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 11: the nose to the tackle to a wide seven or 639 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 11: nine technique against the isolated tackle, like you create problems 640 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 11: at the line of scrimmage. And it's not like we're 641 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 11: breaking the huddle and he's lining up exactly where he's 642 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 11: going to be. Like there were there were times in 643 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 11: the last game if you watched it, where he was 644 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,040 Speaker 11: moving when the quarterback was under center. And now the 645 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 11: whole protection as you know better than I do, to 646 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,479 Speaker 11: identifying guys and protection and now all of a sudden 647 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 11: he's not where he was, that can create a problem. 648 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 11: So like, yeah, the teams that are gonna be you know, 649 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 11: have any semblance of success or at least try to 650 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 11: have success against him, are going to be teams that 651 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 11: are gonna have to break the huddle with fourteen fifteen 652 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 11: seconds left on the playclock, you know, change up the 653 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 11: tempo and tone up their offense, go quick run tempo, 654 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 11: no huddle, et cetera. And then have him more isolated, 655 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,319 Speaker 11: because if you allow him to break the huddle and 656 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 11: sit there and maneuver, change positions, etc. As the clock 657 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 11: lines down and you get predictable. As a team that's 658 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 11: a going to snap the ball inside five seconds, it's 659 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 11: got to be a long day for your quarterback and 660 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 11: your offense. So yeah, Chris Jones, as long as he 661 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,680 Speaker 11: stays healthy, I believe he's one. Now that Aaron Donald 662 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 11: is not in the league, and he's he's embraced it, 663 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 11: like he embraces that leadership role. He embraces the fact 664 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 11: that he knows all eyes are going to be on 665 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 11: him all game long, and that's what you need from 666 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 11: dominance on defense as a guy that's going to say 667 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 11: I'm the star of this defense. I'm gonna I know, 668 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 11: I'm going to get the attention and I'm willing to 669 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 11: step up and make the plays or suck up some 670 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 11: of the blockers. So guys like George cal Offtis and 671 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 11: Mike Danna and other guys blitz packages without VBS. We're 672 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 11: able to get home as well. So a lot of 673 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 11: confusion is created because of that dominance of Chris Jones. 674 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 2: Our thanks to Dana and Hughes.
