I always 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: love to jump into your satellite and travel around the 22 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: Earth and see who's defending the kingdom. 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got five today. So we heard from Josh 24 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 4: and Joplin, Missouri. I've still never been to Joplin. 25 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 2: Wow. 26 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish you could. When you go to Joplin, 27 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: we need to do the before and after, Okay, because 28 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: of the two mile by eight mile basically it looked 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: like a World War two bombed city. 30 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: It was a tornado tornado gone, gone, gone. 31 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: And you and I both have a mutual friend in 32 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: Austin Woodard, who was a hero of the Joplin tornado 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: because he's he's also a first responder, and the stories 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: are just chilling about that. But the way that city 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: is built back and now you look at that two 36 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: miles by eight miles and you're going, oh my gosh, 37 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: it's a miracle. 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 5: That's really cool. 39 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll do that sometime. Another field trip for you 40 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: and me to go to Joplin. 41 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, we need to take DTK on the road one 42 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 4: of these days. There'd be a lot of fun. Get 43 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 4: like a like a caravan. Here's where I want to 44 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 4: do it. 45 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: If it's a nice day, we would do it right 46 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 1: at twentieth in Range Line, which was the ground zero 47 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: of one of the most devastating tornadoes in the history 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: of the Earth. Yeah, it's almost like an F six. 49 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: That thing was so powerful, like it moved the hospital 50 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: off of its foundation and one hundred and sixty one 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: people were killed tragically, but another it could have been 52 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: a thousand, one sixty one. One of the grace of 53 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: God was that they did not have their commencement at 54 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: Joplin High School that day, which was completely like eviscerated. 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: They had it at Missouri Southern State University, which is 56 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: in the northern part of town, and if it would 57 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: have been at Joplin High it just would have been. 58 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: It was awful the way it was. It's unthinkable what 59 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: it would have been. 60 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 4: Wow, unbelievable. Well, we'll do that though, we'll have to go. 61 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 4: I'll look forward to it. Shout out to Josh. We 62 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 4: also heard from Nick from the Tri Cities in Washington. 63 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 4: We've heard from Nick before, all right. He wanted to 64 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: shout out. His mom, Mary doesn't like to fly, but 65 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 4: she got on a plane with Nick a couple weeks 66 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 4: ago so they could go to the game in Vegas 67 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 4: and see a Chief victory. So very cool. Shout out 68 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 4: to you, Mary. I'm glad you guys went to the game. 69 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 4: We heard from Sawyer, who is from Aurora, Missouri, but 70 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 4: is now living in Sunrise, Florida. His wife is from 71 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 4: Maryland and a big Ravens fan. But she bought her 72 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 4: first bit of Chief Skier last week, so she's on 73 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: the right track here. 74 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: And have you ever wont about marriage counseling in these deals? 75 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 5: Well I kind of went through this myself. 76 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, had that go. 77 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 5: Well, I've successfully done it. So Ellie my evangelized. 78 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: I have big time because so she is from Colorado, 79 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 4: she's a Broncos fan growing up, but I have completely 80 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: converted her over the years. We met in twenty sixteen, 81 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: and it took a couple of years, and I respect that, 82 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 4: like she was committed to her Broncos fandom, but I 83 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 4: mean she is the biggest Chiefs fan on planet Earth now. 84 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: Like seriously, she's as big a fan as I am 85 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 4: and as you are. So it is possible. Just stick 86 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: with it and it will pay off in the long run. 87 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 4: So good luck to Sawyer. Daniel in Springfield and Missouri. 88 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: And we heard from Rosta again, they wanted to shout 89 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: out their nephew Cove. So Rosta's sister listens to DTK 90 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 4: while Cove is playing with toys like Cove is like 91 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 4: a child. So shout out to you, Cove, a Chiefs 92 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: fan in the making. Pretty cool, All right, Cove. 93 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: We're going to do a show maybe with you playing toys. 94 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: We'll just come play toys with Cove. 95 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 5: Yeah. 96 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 2: I like that name. 97 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 5: Maybe Cove will be a Chief one day. Who knows it. 98 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 2: Sounds like a quarterback Cove Cove. 99 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 5: I love it. And that's that's all we got today. 100 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: Sorry, that one good. Yeah. So we're talking about both 101 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: ends of the spectrum. Let's do not let this moment pass. 102 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: And it's one of my weaknesses, many weaknesses and flaws 103 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 1: in my character, is that I take things for granted. 104 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: Now you don't, well, I try not to take this 105 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: Sunday for granted. And the fact that we will have 106 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: on the sideline opposite sidelines Andy Reid coaching the Kansas 107 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, who has done unprecedented things in the history 108 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 1: of the National Football League. Keep in mind, the one 109 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: hundredth year of the league was the year that we 110 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: won Super Bowl fifty four, that would have been the 111 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season. So here we are in twenty twenty three, 112 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 1: advancing even further with the one hundred and fifth years. 113 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: So but in that one hundred and five years, two 114 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: of the top four coaches and wins playoffs and regular 115 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: season will meet on the same field in this game. 116 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: We can get so caught up in the weeds of 117 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 1: what this game means in the context of twenty twenty 118 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,599 Speaker 1: three that we can lose sight of the fact that 119 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: this is Shula against Landry, this is Lombardy against Hallas, 120 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: and we have that this week with Reed versus Bill Belichick. 121 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, just because both teams don't have perfect records doesn't 122 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: mean that it's not a huge game in terms of history. 123 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 4: You're totally right. It's a really great point. You don't 124 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 4: see matchups like this very often in the NFL. And 125 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: just because the Patriots are not having the season maybe 126 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 4: they were expecting to have, doesn't take anything away from 127 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 4: the legend that coach Belichick is. And that's why this 128 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: game is not an easy one for the Chiefs. It's 129 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 4: going to be a challenge because coach Belichick is one 130 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: of the greatest coaches of all time. 131 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 5: He has six Super. 132 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: Bowl rings on his fingers for a reason, and it's 133 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 4: going to be a challenge for the Chiefs once again. 134 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 4: But we're so lucky that this is when we're alive. 135 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 4: This is our iteration of being football fans. We get 136 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 4: to see two of the greatest of all time go 137 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: head to head and hopefully for the Chiefs it's a 138 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 4: victory that gets them back on track. 139 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 1: You and I are both football historians. We love this league, 140 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,119 Speaker 1: even like to dig back into the grand old days 141 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: way back then. But to think that these two coaches 142 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: are meeting in this game, and who knows how many 143 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: more times this could happen. Maybe this is it. We 144 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: don't know, and we have seen some historic games. The 145 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen game in Foxborough was a game where it 146 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: was one of the first shots heard around the NFL 147 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: world that the Kansas City Chiefs were not just well, 148 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: they're going to be okay every once in a while, 149 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: and maybe they'll win a division every seven years or so. 150 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: That game which started the first back to back AFC 151 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: West Championship, when the Chiefs stunned the New England Patriots 152 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: forty two to twenty seven in the facility will being 153 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: on Sunday was truly a Roman candle that was shot 154 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: throughout the NFL. 155 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: Sure, and even go further back twenty fourteen when the 156 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 4: noise record was set here in Kansas City just destroyed 157 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 4: the Patriots and Tom Brady was benched for half that game. 158 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 4: There's been some amazing matchups between the Chiefs and the 159 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: Patriots over the years, and for so long, I mean 160 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 4: for two decades, the Patriots were the measuring stick. It's 161 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 4: you know, we're feeling really good, but can we beat 162 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: the Patriots? And I also think about the game in 163 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen where we went to Gillette beat the Patriots 164 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 4: late in the game and of course went on to 165 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 4: go win the Super Bowl. It's interesting being a Chiefs 166 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 4: fan that you think about this franchise. Now the Chiefs 167 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: are the measuring stick in the NFL. We've kind of 168 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,559 Speaker 4: assumed that role that the Patriots had for so long 169 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 4: and just trying to be that team year in and 170 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 4: year out. It's very difficult to be a really good 171 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 4: team every single year. The Chiefs have accomplished that. With 172 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 4: one more win, the Chiefs will achieve an eleventh consecutive 173 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 4: winning season. Think about that. Eleven straight winning seasons. That's 174 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 4: the standard the Patriots had forever, and that's because of 175 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 4: coach Belichick and of course Tom Brady, but Belichick was 176 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 4: a huge part in that. And we'll see another here 177 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 4: Chiefs and Patriots matchup. Kind of a different look than 178 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: in years past, but it's still Chiefs and Patriots. 179 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: Another indication of greatness. 180 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: And I'm so into trying to win this division this year, 181 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: and you're going, well, you don't have parades for winning divisions, 182 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 1: just stop it, Okay, But there's reasons, many reasons to 183 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: win the division this year beyond PREMI any other year. 184 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: And it's the part of it's the history. 185 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 1: If the Chiefs can get an eighth straight AFC West title, 186 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: it will be second only to the New England Patriots 187 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: eleven straight seasons of winning the AFC East. But these 188 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: two coaches that are meeting on Sunday are those two 189 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: coaches that had that instance of division dominance, and in 190 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: this era of the National Football League where really they're second. 191 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: You don't get any face cards if you win the 192 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: Super Bowl the year before, I get dealt face cards. 193 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: You have to get four of a kind with four 194 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: sixes to win. But that's what Andy Reid has done, 195 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: and that's why Bill Belichick has done. Let's give the 196 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: hoodie a little bit of credit here, but they've won 197 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: in different ways, and that's the sign of greatness is 198 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: that they've been able. And that's where the twenty twenty 199 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: three Chiefs are. If we're going to get this thing 200 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: figured out and sprint to the end, it's doing it 201 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: with a different recipe than twenty two, twenty one, twenty 202 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: and nineteen. But Belichick also did that throughout his twenty 203 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: plus years as being the Patriots head coach. 204 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: Definitely, the Patriots really had two eras of championship football 205 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 4: because they have their three titles in four years. In 206 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 4: the early two thousands, those teams looked a lot different 207 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 4: when you compare him to the teams that he had 208 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 4: later on where Tom Brady was the MVP of the NFL. 209 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: Very different teams. And it's a testament to coach Belichick 210 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: how he found ways to win in different ways. Coach 211 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 4: Reid is the exact same thing. One of my favorite 212 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 4: things to always look at is if you go look 213 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: at coach Reed's offense with the Eagles in like two 214 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 4: thousand looks a lot different than what he currently runs 215 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 4: here in Kansas City. Right, So many coaches have their 216 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: system and their thing and they're the smartest guy ever, 217 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 4: and they come in and this is going to work. Right, 218 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 4: this is better than what everyone else has. That's not 219 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 4: coach Reid. Coach Red adapts and learns, and he's constantly 220 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 4: doing that. So if you again you look back at 221 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: like the two thousand season, Coach Reid, I believe ran 222 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 4: one snap, one snap out of the shotgun. The Chiefs 223 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,599 Speaker 4: run probably seventy percent of their plays out of the 224 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 4: shotgun now. So his ability to adapt over time, and 225 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 4: that's just one small example, is why he's one of 226 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 4: the greatest coaches of all time. And it's why so 227 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 4: many coaches show up in the NFL, they have some 228 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: success and they burn out. That's not coach Red and 229 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 4: that's not coach Belichick. These are two master innovators that 230 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 4: we've had a chance to watch here over the last 231 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 4: several decades. And once again they'll go head to head. 232 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: So Belichick's six Super Bowl championships are tip of the 233 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: cap to the hoodie again. Pretty good. But let's keep 234 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: in mind everybody thinks Tom Brady gronk Man, They're just 235 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: Randy Moss. They're just putting up fifty points a game. 236 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: His first Super Bowl, Bill Belichick won twenty to see. 237 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: His last Super Bowl, he won thirteen to three. So 238 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: just keep in mind there's different recipes and ways to 239 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: win for the Kansas City Chiefs and Ady Reid and 240 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots and Bill Belichick. But we're talking 241 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: about two ends of the spectrum here, two of the 242 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: greatest coaches ever. Both will be in Canton, Ohio on 243 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame, easily first ballot. But 244 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: now we're going to transition to something far different. That's 245 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: the other end of this timeline, and it's someone who's 246 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: getting their beginning in this league. And you and I 247 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: are both excited about offensive tackle Juanye Morris, part of 248 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three rookie class, had to fill in 249 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: with some injuries to Donovan Smith after a game had started, 250 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: and when I reviewed the video GOO or when I 251 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: reviewed the video of those times, I was like, oh 252 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: my gosh, we might have something here. And then to 253 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: have him start against the Buffalo Bills. Not that it 254 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: was perfect, but Matt and I think you and I 255 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: share this same excitement. 256 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 5: Yeah. Absolutely. 257 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 4: Now it's difficult with rookie offensive linemen because the only 258 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: way to find out if they can play is for 259 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: them to go out and play. But it's not like 260 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 4: a receiver or a running back where you can rotate 261 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 4: them in Like you want your five guys in there 262 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 4: at all times. You don't want to be rotating in 263 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: offensive lineman for your basic five, right, You can't do that. 264 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 4: And we have a pretty good five here in Kyneta City. 265 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 4: And Wanier has been waiting for his opportunity if called upon. 266 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 4: He had eight offensive snaps prior to the Packers game 267 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 4: this year. There's not a lot of opportunity. But then 268 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 4: Donovan Smith gets hurt in that game. Wanier has to 269 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 4: go in more than holds his own in that Packers game, 270 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 4: but then Donovan isn't going to be able to go 271 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 4: against the Bills. Wanner becomes the starter at left tackle 272 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 4: against the Buffalo Bills who are fighting for their season, 273 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: and Von Miller like, all right, just go out there 274 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 4: and let's see what you can do. And I think 275 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 4: he was great all things considered. I think he did 276 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 4: a great job. It's very exciting looking at the construction 277 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 4: of this team moving forward. If Wannier Morris can be 278 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 4: a guy on this offensive line, and he's got a 279 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 4: way to go. Mean, he needs to build on what 280 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 4: he did. But at least so far, so good. 281 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: And also is going up against Greg Russoe and for 282 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: a little bit Epinessa had the interception on the tip 283 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: pass and Floyd. I mean, that's a group of dudes 284 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: on that Buffalo defensive front. A lot of you again 285 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: around the world that watch and listen to defending the Kingdom, 286 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: have access to the All twenty two. Go back and 287 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: watch the Buffalo Bills game. I'm going to give you 288 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: again not perfect because he gave up the pressure to 289 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: Von Miller that caused the incompletion thrown by Patrick Mahomes 290 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: that was initially ruled a fumble somehow, and then we 291 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: had to look at it for forty minutes and go, 292 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 1: oh no, it's an incompletion. Don't get me start on that. 293 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 1: But there's two plays I want you to go back 294 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: and look at if you've got the ALL twenty two, 295 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: and that is one the touchdown run by Jerick McKinnon 296 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: of seven yards. Watch one Yea Morris on that play 297 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: completely destroys Greg Russo to the point where he waves 298 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: a white flag and go, I'm mom done here, I'm done. 299 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: The other one is the twenty plus yard screen pass 300 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: to Clyde Edwards, a lair opposite of where je Yer 301 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: lines up. 302 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: He's playing left tackle. 303 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 1: He gets all the way to the numbers right and 304 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: makes key blocks on that screen. 305 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 2: It shows you hit that. 306 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 1: His athleticism so again, not perfect, but you and I 307 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: get excited over little things, and in this sense it 308 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: might be a big thing. 309 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 4: On Morris, Yeah, very excited about this dude. Incredibly nice guy. 310 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 4: Not when he's on the field though, he has a 311 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: mean streak to him. He has a certain nastiness to 312 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 4: him that you need at that position. And I had 313 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 4: a chance earlier today to catch up with wan Yer 314 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 4: and ask about his first start as a pro. All right, 315 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 4: we're joined now by Chiefs offensive tackle Juanier, Morris and Wanier. 316 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: What a game for you last week? You make your 317 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 4: first career start a left tackle, No big deal. You're 318 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 4: facing the Buffalo Bills defensive line and Von Miller and 319 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 4: you were great. I mean, you more than held your own. 320 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: What was the experience like being out there and how 321 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 4: much fun was it finding success in your first career start? 322 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 6: It was surreal. 323 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: Man. 324 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 6: My only thing was just to go out there and 325 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 6: just ball do all you can do, because that's all 326 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 6: you can do. You know, all you can do is 327 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 6: all you can do. And the first time I see 328 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 6: Vaughn line up against me, I'm like, oh my god, 329 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 6: I feel like I'm Maden or something. You know how 330 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 6: you are mad and you see Vaughn he got his 331 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 6: X factor on. I'm like, okay, just just be patient, 332 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 6: calm down, just do what you do. And just being 333 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 6: able to go and geinst that talent like that is 334 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 6: just a blessing, man, and say that. You got to 335 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 6: say I was successful doing it too. Man, I feel blessed. Blessed. 336 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 4: The tape doesn't lie you were more than successful. I 337 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 4: mean you were awesome. And it says a lot because 338 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 4: before the Packers game, you had played eight offensive snaps. 339 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: This year. 340 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: You played a lot on special teams, but just eight 341 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 4: offensive snaps the Packers game. Donovan was trying to fight 342 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 4: through it, but eventually he couldn't go and you had 343 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 4: to go into the fire and play. It's a whole 344 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 4: different experience though, being a starter all week and getting 345 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 4: ready for the bills. What was the week like getting 346 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 4: ready for your first ever start. 347 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 6: The one thing I try to do is just always 348 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 6: prepare the same, you know, never change his preparation because 349 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 6: what was different from last week than this week. Always 350 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 6: prepare the same. But one thing I did try to 351 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 6: do was just hyping on in details a little more 352 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 6: than usual. 353 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: You know, if he. 354 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 6: Say travel low, I'm traveling a little lower. I'm over 355 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 6: exaggerating it, just so you know, I get in the game, 356 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 6: it happens just right. 357 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: Obviously I didn't do everything right. 358 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 6: I just want to go in and see what I 359 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 6: did wrong and just fix those mistakes. 360 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 5: Obviously, you guys are gonna help. Having Trey out there with. 361 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 6: You definitely, U It definitely boosts the confidence, you know, 362 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 6: because seeing I play with I play with guys like this. 363 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 6: I played with that guy, and we're thing there going 364 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 6: against the same competition just a little bit better. So 365 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 6: I'm just out there thinking, Okay, these guys got my back. 366 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 2: I know. 367 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 6: I know if I mess up, they're gonna pick up 368 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 6: my head and just say let's keep going one. Yeah, 369 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 6: like this is welcome to the NFL. This is what 370 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 6: it is. So you're gonna have to get your mind 371 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 6: ready for that. And that's what he did a good 372 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 6: job telling me. You know, just keep your head up. 373 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 6: You're gonna make mistakes, just keep going. You know, he 374 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 6: got a full game ahead of you. 375 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 4: For listeners that don't know, Jany Ain't Trey played together 376 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 4: at Tennessee for two years, I believe, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. 377 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: It's even funnier because in camp we had a guy 378 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 4: by the name of Jerome Carvin here. Yes, you, Jerome 379 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 4: and Trey were three fifths of the Tennessee offensive line, 380 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 4: and then you were in camp in the NFL, and 381 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 4: you and Trey are obviously still both here playing on 382 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: the same team. When you first found out you were 383 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 4: coming to the Chiefs and you're gonna play again with 384 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 4: your buddy Trey Smith, what was that experience? 385 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 6: Like, I was like, oh my goodness, no freaking way. 386 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 6: He was actually the first person to call me after 387 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 6: I got off the phone with Beach. Yeah, and it's 388 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 6: like he's like, man, I can't believe this is surreal. 389 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 6: I'm like, man, tell me about We probably called each 390 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 6: other like two three times after that, just saying like 391 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 6: this is crazy. We're going to be back together again. 392 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 6: Like I don't people think people know bad Tennessee. Tray 393 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 6: was like a big brother than me. He was one 394 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 6: of the main reasons I chose to pick Tennessee because, 395 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 6: like he just showed me like the brotherhood, the kinship. 396 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 6: You know, he's showing me the love, the passion. Like 397 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 6: everybody wanted the same goals. You know, everybody wanted to 398 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 6: be great, and just him pushing me to be greater, 399 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 6: it just helps me that much more. 400 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 5: You know, you've played in some cool venues. 401 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 4: Man, you played at Neeland, then you played at Oklahoma, 402 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 4: you were a Sooner for a year, and now you're 403 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 4: playing here in Kyingga City. Like these crowds that you've 404 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 4: had a chance to play for, it's pretty incredible. 405 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 6: Huh yeah uh Chief Kingdom man, y'all are amazing. First 406 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 6: of all, y'all get loud on Sundays, and I love 407 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 6: the chant. I love the child That's my favorite thing. 408 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 6: I love when we start the game like that. But 409 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 6: just being able to play in crowds like that and 410 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 6: just be experienced, because you know, sometimes people get in 411 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 6: the game the noise really bothers them. So just being 412 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 6: able to ex that noise out and just just lock 413 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 6: into the little details and the things that you need 414 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 6: to do and just exit out the noise. Man, I 415 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 6: could say I got some pretty good experience at it. 416 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you do well. 417 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: That's part of I think being a pro is that 418 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: everyone's good in the NFL, but the best players are 419 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 4: the ones that can kind of block out that noise. 420 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: You were able to do that against the Bills, and 421 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 4: it says a lot when you watch the tape that 422 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 4: oftentimes the coaching staff wasn't giving any extra chips to 423 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 4: your side, like they were just doing a five man 424 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 4: protection and you were holding your own. What does that 425 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 4: mean to you that the coaching staff believes in you 426 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 4: and knows that you can handle your man and your assignment. 427 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 2: It actully. 428 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 6: Just shows the trust you know, and things like that. 429 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 6: It boosts your confidence as a player. I took the 430 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 6: challenge and I accepted it. You know, some people see 431 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 6: that as a threat, but I accept the challenge. 432 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: You know. 433 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 6: I like being on my own. I like being on 434 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 6: the island anyway. It's fun out there because you really 435 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 6: get to see what you're made of. You get to compete, man, 436 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 6: because those Russiers, Russias get better each and every day, 437 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 6: like those bills, Like the bills lead on, Like you said, 438 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 6: those guys were amazing, and just being able to go 439 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 6: get that competition by yourself and just see what you're 440 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 6: really made of. It gives you that type of confidence 441 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 6: just keep going. 442 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 4: And you have like a nasty demeanor out there, like 443 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 4: you have like an edge to you when you're playing. 444 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 4: You're not just blocking your guy, You're like going after him, 445 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 4: whether it be run blocking or pass blocking. 446 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 5: Where does that come from? 447 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 2: You know? 448 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 6: When I was younger, people just tell me I was 449 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 6: too nice. So like eventually in high school, a coach 450 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 6: pulled me to the side. I'm watching the track team 451 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 6: run practice. He says, you know, wyya like this year 452 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 6: like it, stop being so nice, go out there. 453 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 2: And be mean, be just be aggressive. 454 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 6: I said, okay, I try it, and then after that 455 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 6: I just got stuck on it. I just love finishing people. 456 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 6: It's just like just being able to just finish somebody, 457 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 6: throw me to the ground against their will. Like that's 458 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 6: the utmost greatest feeling ever, honestly, just finishing somebody. 459 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 4: Well, this guy is a very bright future. He is 460 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 4: not too nice on the football field. We definitely saw 461 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 4: that against the Bills. Want Ay Moore is excited for 462 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 4: you man, thanks for joining us, and good luck the 463 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: rest of the season, No problem, all right, greatest stuff 464 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 4: there from Janie. 465 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 5: Just an awesome guy. 466 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,199 Speaker 4: You can tell he has like a zest for life, 467 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 4: like he can't believe that he's in this moment. This 468 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 4: is his opportunity and he's not going to waste it, 469 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 4: and he's not wasting it so far. Again, just really 470 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: impressed with what he was able to do. Tough first 471 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 4: assignment against the Buffalo Bills and Von Miller a player 472 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 4: he grew up watching, and all of a sudden he's 473 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 4: blocking him and blocking him pretty effectively. 474 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: And he faces another huge task this week if called upon, 475 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: because the defensive front for the New England Patriots is 476 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: also very good, arguably the strongest part of their team. 477 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: And by the way, didn't mention we're rocking the TK 478 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, we got to give that thanks to 479 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: Travis kelcey in the TK line. And I don't want 480 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: to go any further without mentioning the NFL record that 481 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: another NFL record that Travis kelce set in the Buffalo 482 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: Bills game with his six catches. That puts him now 483 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 1: an eighty catch season for eight straight years. That ties 484 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: an NFL record. But get the list, Tory Holt, Marvin Harrison, 485 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: and Jerry Rice. How many tiight ends on that list? 486 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: That would be none. I mean, you look at that 487 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 1: level of productivity and you're in the same conversation with 488 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: those three guys, especially Jerry Rice, then you realize the 489 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: greatness of Travis Kelcey. Hence t k line eighty seven 490 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: True Colors. Get your True Colors gear while it's still available. 491 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we're so fortunate that we are watching 492 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey, the greatest tight end of all time, and 493 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 4: not just that, one of the greatest pass catchers of 494 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 4: all time. And he's on our team just a little 495 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 4: over one hundred yard shy of his eighth consecutive thousand 496 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 4: yard season eight cot Think about that. So not just 497 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 4: the productivity, but remaining healthy, remaining consistent and available and 498 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 4: always ready to make a play even though everyone knows 499 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 4: that you're getting the ball. It's fun to watch fans 500 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 4: of other teams when we're playing them, because Kels will 501 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,400 Speaker 4: make this twenty yard catchdown field and they're like how 502 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 4: is he always open? Like why are we not covering 503 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 4: them and they are trying to cover him. He just 504 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 4: finds a way. He finds a way, and he's found 505 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 4: a way throughout his entire career and not slowing down 506 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 4: anytime soon. 507 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: We had Rashie Rice earlier on a Defending the Kingdom 508 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: episode as our special guest. He was also my guest 509 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs Kingdom Radio show. You can find that 510 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 1: archived if you go to the Chiefs Radio Network site 511 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: for those of you can't hear it over the air 512 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: around the world, but you're gonna want to listen to 513 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: it because I learned something in that interview with him. 514 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: Guess who is mentoring Rushie Rice? Travis Kelsey. Kelsey has 515 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: taken him under his wing because I asked, I asked Roschi, hey, 516 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: who he's like, tk Kelse is teaching me? And he 517 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: went through all the things he's been teaching him of 518 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: hand placement and route running. So and I said, you 519 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: know what this means, brother, is that kel sees you 520 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: as potential greatness. So he's gone big brother on you 521 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: because much like Trey Smith has done with one Ye Morris, 522 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: he sees the potential of your greatness, which is why 523 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 1: he's investing this much time in mentoring Rashi Rice and 524 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: I thought that was awesome because that's a tight end 525 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: with a wide receiver. 526 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 5: That's really cool. Yeah, it says a lot about Rashi. 527 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: If you watch Russi's game, there is an element of 528 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 4: Travis Kelce to him because of his feel for space. 529 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 4: That's one of the things that makes Travis so good 530 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 4: is his feel for space. So even if the route 531 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 4: maybe has him running a certain way, he knows where 532 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 4: the space in the zone is, or the space and 533 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 4: the defensive coverages to get open for Patrick and Rashie 534 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 4: at times this year has shown that ability. He showed 535 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 4: it in his first game with the Chiefs way back 536 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 4: against the Lions in Week one. His touchdown was a 537 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 4: great feel for space. He's done that all year long, 538 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 4: and that's exciting that Travis Kelce sees that in Rashie. 539 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: As a rookie who already has six receiving touchdowns this 540 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 4: year for Kansas City, third most of any rookie in 541 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 4: the NFL, his future is bright and certainly helps having 542 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 4: a guy like Travis Kelce teach him the ropes. 543 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: And what was also I had talked with Coach about 544 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: this in that same episode. If you can find it, 545 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: and there's so many routes, we think it's a six 546 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 1: route or four rout or seven route. This stay and agent, 547 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: especially in this offense, and this is where the growth 548 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: curve for a wide receiver. These are choice routes, many 549 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: times are option routes. And Coach says, well, I'm going 550 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 1: to tell you that it's more about the top end 551 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: of the route and the angles that you take and 552 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 1: learn to take this And you triggered the thought by 553 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: you saying what you did about Kels and then the 554 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: tempo in the way that you run that route. And 555 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: he said, that's what Rashi is trying to learn right now, 556 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: and that's what Kelsey is teaching him. And we've seen 557 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: the fruits of that some I remember the catch against 558 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders felt like that. Yeah, and now it's just 559 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: a matter of Rashi just like Bango every week and 560 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: becomes a constant threat. So that leads us we're gonna 561 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: close out this way. But we're talking about both ends 562 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: of the spectrum here. That's what this addition of Defending 563 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 1: the Kingdom is about. About two incredible coaches who have 564 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: done historic things an offensive tackle getting the start in 565 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: his career. But it leads us to the middle of 566 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: that timeline, which is this game against the New England Patriots. Again, 567 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: the AFC has become a week to week episode in 568 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: the greatest reality show there is in the world, the 569 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: National Football League and especially the AFC. Something happens unexpectedly 570 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 1: that here are the Chiefs now taking on a New 571 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: England team that showed a flash in getting twenty one 572 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 1: points to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Pittsburgh. 573 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 2: That got your attention. 574 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: But let's just talk about New England a bit, and 575 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: let's talk about their defense. Because the defensive numbers here, 576 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: Matt do not equal a three to ten record. 577 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 5: No, they definitely don't. 578 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 4: This is a defense is playing hard for coach Belichick 579 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 4: and playing hard for the logo on their helmet. And 580 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 4: I respect that this defense for the Patriots has held 581 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 4: the opposition under twenty one points in five straight games, 582 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 4: just keeping their team in the game. Now, they're middle 583 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: of the pack and a lot of defensive categories things 584 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 4: like turnovers and sacks and points allowed. 585 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 5: But here's what they do. 586 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 4: They don't allow big plays and they kind of force 587 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 4: you to nickel and dime down the field. They keep 588 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 4: everything in front of them and they're banking on you 589 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 4: making a mistake at some point. You look at these guys. 590 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 4: They have these sixth best red zone defense in the NFL, 591 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 4: allowing touchdowns at only a forty six percent rate. They've 592 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 4: allowed twenty seven to ten play drives this year, that's 593 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 4: eighth most in the NFL. But opponents are scoring touchdowns 594 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 4: on only thirty percent of those drives. So the opponent 595 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 4: marching down the field using a lot of clock have 596 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 4: to settle for a field goal and all of a sudden, 597 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 4: that creates opportunities for the Patriots offense. So we can 598 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 4: talk about their run defense as well, which is outstanding. 599 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 4: But these guys, they keep the Patriots in games for 600 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 4: the most part. And their offense, it's true, it has 601 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 4: struggled this year. They got a spark last week with 602 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 4: Bailey z Appy, but their defense keeps them in games. 603 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 4: Look at the Chargers game a couple weeks ago. They 604 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 4: had an opportunity to win that game. Numerous times they 605 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,479 Speaker 4: couldn't score, but the defense kept a minute. His defense 606 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 4: for New England is no joke. 607 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you and I were taking the punto meter for 608 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: that Charger Patriot game, but that meant that the Patriots 609 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: defense was playing at a high level. Here's a couple 610 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 1: more for you. The Patriots are the best team in 611 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: the NFL keeping mi either three to ten, the best 612 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: team in the NFL at disallowing four plus runs overall 613 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: only thirty four point six percent of the time, and 614 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: four point zero is your litmus test on a run 615 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: in the NFL, anything less is a win for the defense. 616 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: Anything more is a win for the offense. New England 617 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: is not allowing teams to run the ball to your point. 618 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: The other thing, and not allowing big plays. New England 619 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: is top six in the league in ten plus plays allowed. 620 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: That's usually not the case with a three to ten team. 621 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 1: They're good front to back. They're scrappy. They've got some 622 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 1: big time players on this defense. 623 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 2: And you're right. 624 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,640 Speaker 1: They make it hard to score on you. They wait 625 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: for you to make the mistake, they make you eat 626 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: up time, hold you to a field goal. Wait a minute, 627 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: the gush that sounds like Green Bay, that sounds like Denver, 628 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: and in a way it sounds like the Philadelphia Eagles. 629 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: These guys can follow that recipe very much like those 630 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: other teams that were able to beat the Chiefs earlier 631 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: this year. 632 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 4: They also like to blitz. They have a higher blitz 633 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 4: rate than the Chiefs do, and that's saying something. These 634 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 4: guys the fifth highest splitz rate in the NFL at 635 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 4: thirty four point seven percent, just ahead of the Chiefs. 636 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 4: And if you're Kyansas City, you got to take advantage 637 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 4: of that. You got to make sure that if New 638 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 4: England sends extra rushers, you're able to hit that big 639 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 4: play over the top. And for the Chiefs in this game, 640 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 4: you're coming off a bummer of a game last week. 641 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 4: We all know that, right it was right there for 642 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 4: the Chiefs. They didn't get it done. You got to 643 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 4: move on. You gotta flush it and learn from what 644 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 4: just happened and make sure two doesn't turn into three. 645 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 4: And how do you do that. You get off to 646 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 4: a fast start offensively against the Patriots. Three weeks in 647 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 4: a row, the Chiefs have been down by two touchdowns 648 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 4: to begin the game. And to their credit, you can 649 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 4: make an argument they could have won all three games. 650 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 5: They didn't. 651 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 4: They're one and two in those games. But playing from 652 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 4: behind is not a good strategy. Get off to a 653 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 4: fast offensive start here in this game against the Patriots. 654 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 4: Make sure that defense isn't feeling really good going into 655 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 4: the second half. That's the recipe for success, and that's 656 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 4: obvious here in this game, but I think that's really 657 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 4: the goal for the Chiefs. Early on their first couple 658 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 4: of drives, get in the end zone. Make sure the 659 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 4: Patriots are not feeling confident, feeling good about this game, 660 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 4: feeling like we're going to play this game in the mud, 661 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 4: because that's what the Patriots want to do. They want 662 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 4: this game in the mud. They want it to be 663 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 4: thirteen to ten in the fourth quarter. That's what they want. 664 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 4: For the Chiefs offensively, they know what they can do. 665 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 4: Don't turn the ball over, don't let penalties hinder your 666 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 4: drives or set you back. Get off to a fast start. 667 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 4: Let's get back on track against the Patriots. That's the key. 668 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 4: And it's what Denver wanted to do and did in Denver. 669 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,959 Speaker 4: It's what Green Bay wanted to do and did in 670 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 4: green Bay. The Chiefs are trying to avoid that and 671 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 4: get a victory, a ninth victory against the New England Patriots. Offensively, 672 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 4: this is a New England team that has struggled, although 673 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 4: Bailey Zappy is giving them a little bit of hope, 674 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 4: especially because you guys are woefully weak. You look at 675 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 4: twenty passes of twenty one plus air yards. They have 676 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 4: four completions of twenty one plus air yards in thirteen games. 677 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 4: That's miserable. But what did they do to beat the 678 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers. The same thing that the Buffalo Bills did 679 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 4: to get the fourteen to nothing lead on the Chiefs, 680 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 4: and that is throw to James Cook for big plays. 681 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 4: Look in this game and their win over Pittsburgh. What 682 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 4: Zappi did too, Old friend Zeke Elliott, the old Dallas cowboy. 683 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 4: He had one hundred and forty yards from scrimmage. It's 684 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 4: probably one of his best games in quite a while. 685 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 4: And that included seven receptions for over seventy yards. He 686 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 4: was great for the Patriots last week. And you're right, 687 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 4: you got to make things simple for Bailey Zappi. That's 688 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 4: not any slight toward him. He's a young quarterback. You 689 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 4: want to simplify things for him. He has two starts 690 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 4: now for New England. Let's compare these two starts. His 691 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 4: first start a couple weeks ago, he completed just fifty 692 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 4: two percent of his passes, averaged five point sixty four 693 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 4: yards per attempt, had a passer rating of sixty eight 694 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 4: point nine. They lose six to zero, right, don't score 695 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 4: any points. Well, last week against Pittsburgh, it's like night 696 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 4: and day with this guy. I mean, he completed sixty 697 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 4: eight percent of a passes, averaged eight point five to 698 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 4: seven yards per attempt, had a passer rating of one 699 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 4: hundred and fifteen. So he was great. He made some 700 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 4: great throws in that game. For being completely honest, Hunter 701 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,239 Speaker 4: Henry was good in that game. And that's another thing. 702 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 4: If you look at some of these tight games for 703 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 4: the Chiefs slately, it's tight ends finding success against them. Defensively, 704 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 4: Hunter Henry is one of the better tight ends in 705 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 4: the game. Right, you can't let Hunter Henry get loose, 706 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 4: particularly in the red zone. He has five touchdown catches 707 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 4: this year, and for a young quarterback, a good tight 708 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 4: end in the red zone as their best friend. Again, 709 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 4: if you look at the numbers, Bailey zappy under pressure 710 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 4: this year, struggles and even last week he struggled. But 711 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 4: when he's given a clean pocket, I mean he's an 712 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 4: NFL quarterback and he can find success. I mean, he's 713 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 4: here for a reason, and when he had a clean 714 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 4: pocket last week against Pittsburgh, he was excellent. So for 715 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,880 Speaker 4: the Chiefs in this game, you got a pressure Bailey 716 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 4: Zappi got to give him off of his spot and 717 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 4: don't let them stay ahead of the chains consistently. Don't 718 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 4: let Zeke Elliott get four or five yards on a 719 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 4: quick pass on first down. Force Bailey Zappi into third 720 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 4: and ten, third and fifteen, then get the pass rush 721 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 4: after him. That's how you get this Patriots offense off kilter. 722 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 4: So the Chiefs defense can do it. This remains the 723 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 4: number three scoring defense in the NFL. They were excellent 724 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 4: last week, even though they allowed the two touchdowns early 725 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 4: on from fourteen to nothing bills. The rest of the way, 726 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 4: the Chiefs outscored Buffalo seventeen to six, held Buffalo out 727 00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 4: of the end zone the entire second half. So it's 728 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 4: a slow start conversation we were having earlier about the 729 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 4: Chiefs offense. For the Chiefs defense as well, they've been 730 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 4: so good. Just don't let the Patriots offense get off 731 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 4: to a good start like we've seen with some of 732 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 4: these offenses in recent weeks. You got to make sure 733 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 4: you slam the door early, enforced Bailey Zappi into a 734 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 4: couple of mistakes. 735 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: And slam the door on running back in the passing game. Yes, 736 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: and then mitigate Hunter Henry as best as you can 737 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: in this game. Two old friends in this game. We'll 738 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 1: close it out this way. Two old friends that both 739 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 1: led to the Super Bowl championships in recent years. For 740 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Juju Smith Schuster, he's the most obvious wonder 741 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: if he's gonna wear a Super Bowl ring to the game. 742 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,440 Speaker 1: Probably not old number seven, we're number seven for the 743 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: New England Patriots, but still warm and fuzzy. If I 744 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 1: get to see him, there'll be a hug. Yeah, I 745 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: mean he was great for us, absolutely. I mean, Jude, 746 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: that's the thing with the championship team. They are always 747 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 1: part of the team, and they're always part of the family. 748 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:24,839 Speaker 5: Like I really believe that. 749 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 4: And for Juju, we'll see Juju ten years from now 750 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 4: when we're celebrating the Super Bowl fifty seven championship. Right, 751 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 4: he's a Patriot now he's on the other side on Sunday, 752 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 4: and he actually had a nice game for them last week. 753 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, four catches for ninety yards. We know 754 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 4: what Juju can do when he's healthy. He's the enemy 755 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 4: on Sunday. But I'm with you. I mean, Juju is 756 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,760 Speaker 4: one of the main reasons this team won a Super 757 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,680 Speaker 4: Bowl last year. So I root for Juju every other 758 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 4: week of the season, just not this week. 759 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: Two of those four catches against Pittsburgh, I go, oh, 760 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,839 Speaker 1: we've seen that before. It looked just like the ones 761 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: he had with us. The other not so obvious guy 762 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: on this team that led to the Super Bowl fifty 763 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 1: four championship is Mike Oseki, the old tight end of 764 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. Remember he had the magical catch from 765 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: Fitsmagic back in the twenty nineteen playoffs that allowed the 766 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs to get home field as the Dolphins got the victory. 767 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: So Mike, I don't know you, but if I see him, man, 768 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,760 Speaker 1: I'll give you a fist pump because remember that game, 769 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 1: and thank you Mike for what he did for us 770 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: in Super Bowl fifty four on that run. 771 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 4: And that was something else, wasn't it. Just the game 772 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 4: is going on at the same time and we had 773 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 4: to win. But here's the thing, and we saw this 774 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 4: with the Titans beating the Dolphins the other night. You 775 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 4: can go on the ESPN Playoff Machine and kind of 776 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 4: plot everything out and you're like, well, this is what's 777 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 4: gonna happen. It's never what happens. You never know what's 778 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 4: gonna happen in the NFL. That's why the NFL is 779 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 4: the greatest sports league on Earth, because any given Sunday 780 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 4: or Monday or Thursday or Saturday, something crazy. 781 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 5: Can happen and you just don't know. 782 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 4: And that kind of leads into my final thoughts about 783 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 4: this game and the rest of the season. Again, I 784 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 4: mean a bummer on Sunday night, right, the Chiefs nearly 785 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,640 Speaker 4: beat the Buffalo Bills and thought they had beat him 786 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 4: for a moment. But everything is still right there for 787 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 4: the Chiefs. It's all still right there. They control their 788 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 4: own destiny in the AFC West, and there's even a 789 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 4: chance the one seed is still in play based on 790 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 4: how you're looking at schedules. Everything's right there for Kansas City. 791 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 4: The most important thing is they take care of their 792 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 4: own business and see what happens. That's the beauty of it, 793 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,440 Speaker 4: and that Mikaseki example is a great example of that. 794 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 4: See what happens once we get there, but it's a 795 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 4: one game playoff in my mind the rest of the way, 796 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 4: and that begins against New England. 797 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: There you have it, timeline. Really interesting game this week 798 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: because you are seeing on a timeline two of the 799 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: greatest coaches ever that are going against each other once again, 800 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,839 Speaker 1: a player just getting his career started in a whole 801 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: bunch in between. But keep in mind, this is a 802 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 1: game that reminds us of both ends of the spectrum. 803 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 6: Thinking. Stam
