Hey, welcome 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.040 in my guest today back from week nine, making a 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.160 repeat appearance, just like the Chiefs and Dolphins rematch, bj 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.320 Kissel and in time for the rematch on Saturday. Is 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.840 a redo of our podcast from back in week nine 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.560 from Casey Sports, the network founder and CEO, bj Kissel. Bj. 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.680 Here we go again, man, How you doing, Bud? 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:53.800 I'm doing well. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:56.560 That's the matchup that we all expected right in, you know, 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.160 negative fifteen degree winshow weather whatever, it's going to be 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:01.080 out there. But oh yeah, it's gonna be a fun one. 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.120 No shortage of storylines going into this one. Traps. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:04.800 Yeah, I thought that when we played that game back 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.720 in Germany it was going to be a one two 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.480 seeded rematch in the AFC Championship game. We get as 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.240 the three to six game here in the wildcard round. Conversely, 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.919 but everyone gets what they kind of wanted to see 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.160 the first time around Tyreek back in Kansas City. But 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:17.920 I want to start here because you mentioned you know 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:20.880 the weather and the conditions heading into this game, and 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.320 I would like for you to help me convey to 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.520 our fantastic video and content team here in the Calm staff, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.840 who has to also be in the sideline on game night, 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.360 give me your stay warm game plan as a member 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.639 of the team that does this quite frequently. 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.800 That's a great question. I'm not sure there's anything that 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.960 can really prepare you for that kind of weather, especially 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.800 if there's wind and you add a little bit of moisture. 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.040 Any bit of being cold is one thing. You can 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.840 manage that, but if it sleeps, if it rains a 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.560 little bit and you get wet, there's really not a 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.760 whole lot that you could do. Now as a fan, 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:55.280 Arrowhead has actually come out and said that they're allowing 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.880 fans to bring in pieces of cardboard to stand on, 0:02:57.960 --> 0:02:59.880 a trick that I learned as a kid going to Arrowhead, 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:01.640 and then they kind of outlawed, you know, you couldn't 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.240 bring in things like that, which they've since changed because 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.440 they to adapt to the people that are willing to 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:09.799 come out and watch a game in this kind of 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.880 temperature giving them every advantage possible. But yeah, just lots 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.560 of layers bundle up and then just keep moving. At 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.000 this point, you know, some of the players will get 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.639 like the scuba gear, like the wet suits. I've heard 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:24.800 Alex Smith talk about that in the years past that 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.000 he actually learned that from Tom. He was Tom Brady 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.000 actually as the first person he here talk about that, and 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.160 so I think Patrick Mahlomes does the same thing. But yeah, 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.440 just I'm not sure there's anything that's going to prepare you, 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.240 because that's a whole different level of cold that we 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.280 haven't even experienced so far. It's gotten cold here, but 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.880 it definitely is going to fall off a cliff over 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:41.720 the next few days. 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.040 Yeah, not that cold, just real quick. Because I heard 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.000 the wet suit thing as well. Did Alex Smith ever 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.680 talk about how restrictive that might be. I imagine there's 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:52.160 risk reward with anything you do, but staying warm is 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.520 obviously imperative, But I feel like that would be pretty restrictive. 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.040 Yeah, I don't I never asked him that specifically. I 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.920 don't hear him talk about that, but I would just 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.320 assume that nowadays, the amount of money that's being you know, 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.200 earned in games like this, and the amount of technology 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.880 that's out there that if it would be too restrictive, 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.560 they'd create one that isn't and they would do something 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.480 to figure that part of it out. But yeah, I 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.680 was spent the week talking with some former guys and 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.520 you know they're talking about, well, what are day when 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.039 we had cold games like this, they didn't have the 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.960 heated benches and the heated helmet holders and the heated 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:24.800 things for your feet to sit on when you're on 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.960 the bench. The guys will actually be pretty decently taken 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.080 care of on the sideline, even with the temperatures being 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:30.560 what they are. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:31.760 And the Chiefs do. 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:35.320 Have at Arrowhead, they've got the coil system underneath the 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.440 field and so the field will not be rock hard. 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:41.159 They've got a bunch of basically like tubes and pipes 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.120 underneath the state, underneath the actual field that heat up, 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.960 that raised the temperature of the actual playing surface, and 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:50.320 so the field will not be super hard. It should 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:51.800 be nice and soft, and if it gets cold enough, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.400 you'll actually see steam coming up off the field, which 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:55.039 is a pretty cool. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.440 It leads to some pretty cool photos. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.760 So let your content team know they get down there, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:00.560 they get early enough and you really like down in 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.640 the grass, we'll see it. You get some really cool 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.640 slow mode videos we've done in the past. I've seen 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.960 it in the past with the Chiefs video crew. They've 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.200 done some really cool stuff kind of showing just how 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.719 warm the field is again with you know, negative temperatures 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.000 or at least negative windshill by the time the game 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:15.880 starts Saturday night. 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:17.960 I think this is a game that's a great uniform 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.160 aesthetic as well. So there's all kinds of scenes that 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:21.560 we're going to see on Saturday Night that's gonna be 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.560 really cool for people that shoot the stuff and just 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.600 to watch on TV as well. So looking forward to that. 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:27.800 Let's go back to the to the game back in 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:29.960 week number nine, and we've done this from our perspective, ay, 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.640 so I want to get the Chiefs perspective on this 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.359 the rematch. Not too often these two teams play twice 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.840 in the same season, you know, like a divisional opponent 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.000 would be what do you think Kansas City can take 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.440 from that game? You know, what was that two months ago? 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.320 And how do you think it benefits of heading into 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:43.880 this one. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.719 I think it benefits them in just that when they 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.719 go into their prep at just as a core level 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.840 of what the defense likes to do, what the offense 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:55.960 likes to do. There's a foundational understanding of schematically what 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.560 the teams like to do. Now, how do they call games? 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:00.400 I mean, I know Miami's gonna be complete different. We 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.240 didn't see a chain. I think it's hot. 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.000 How do you say his name? A chain? Okay, I 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.520 haven't forturing that all the week. Ah, he wasn't in 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:09.280 the game the last time. 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.359 And then on the other side, there's a bunch of injuries, 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.479 so you're gonna have guys on the defensive side. I 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.600 would assume, like a Justin Houston hadn't played all year 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:18.080 with you guys that are gonna have to get out 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:21.200 there just because of the injury situation. So I think 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.200 it helps not have to learn a completely new scheme. 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.680 There's a fundamental understanding, but the way the games are 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.040 called Week nine was so long ago for what the 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.240 Chiefs have kind of developed into this year, which is 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.280 more of a defensive minded team with the offense kind 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.680 of struggling compared to what we've seen in years past, 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:40.600 and then with Miami with the injuries obviously different guys 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.719 not playing and them kind of that chess match of 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:45.760 By the time week nine, you have a certain amount 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.560 of things on tape that people are reacting to that 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.960 you're doing matchups for when you get ready to go 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.240 and play week ten, week eleven, week twelve, By the 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.680 time you get to what week nineteen, things can be 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.560 completely different, whole different set of information and variables that 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.760 are out there to try and put together a game plan. 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:03.000 So I think it'll help, but you know, not too much. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.280 I remember that game. We were so excited about the 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.560 potential of going into a bye week with the you know, 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:09.400 seven to two mark and a number one seed in 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.880 our back pocket. Didn't happen that way. But also the 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.880 idea was this team is getting healthier. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:14.040 You know. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.800 That was Jalen Ramsey's first game back, and Rob Hunt 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.560 wasn't quite back yet, but it was supposed to get there, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.679 and Devon Ahm was coming off the IR the next week, 0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:22.840 and things just have gone the opposite direction. I mean, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:24.800 that's that's how this league works, right. It's kind of 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:27.120 for us, you know, as a Dolphins fan, we've for 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.040 so long been trying to be that six seventh seed 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:31.840 try to punch our way into the playoffs and hope 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.520 to get a big upset. But now we've kind of 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.560 taken that, you know, next step and being a top 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.080 contender type of team, and you learn that even in 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.480 a year that feels like your year, it doesn't always 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.280 shake out that way because things can happen in the 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:44.160 sport that are just out of your control. So it's 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.320 it's been difficult in that way, but the beauty of 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:47.880 it all is that we were good enough to get 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.240 into this position and give ourselves a chance. That's what 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.360 Dolphins fans have to look forward to in this one. 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.560 But they're coming into a game against a team that is, 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.640 you know, famous for having an extra week of prep, 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.200 and you like that to unveil some new type of 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.760 wrinkles in their offense. It ultimately gives them success off 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.640 of bye weeks, because you know, the Reid Mahomes off 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.480 of a buye has been deadly in the past. I'm 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.520 curious were they able to get extra work ahead of 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.360 time because they didn't know who their opponent was going 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.720 to be. I mean, I can't imagine you would just 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.200 completely sacrifice the Week eight team game even though you 0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:21.600 didn't play all your starters. I'm curious how you think 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.280 the time off and resting starters, whether it's game plan 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.880 just overall health. In what ways do you think that 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:28.800 benefits kansasity in this one. 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.280 Any Wey kind of talked about during the week, and 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.720 I think it falls in line with what he said 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.600 in the past in these situations that you have your 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:36.760 quality control guys, you have the guys on the personnel 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.480 staff that are doing your advance scouting anyway, and so 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.160 it is a benefit in that regard that they were 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.440 studying Pittsburgh and some of the couple of teams that 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.959 the Chiefs Houston, a couple of in Indianapolis being the 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:48.640 other one teams that the Chiefs did not play in 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.480 their regular season. There was a chance going into last 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.240 week that they may end up playing depending upon how 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.480 Week eighteen played out with some of the other games. 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.480 So I do think in that regard was probably a 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.720 benefit that they ended up playing a team that they're 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:01.240 familiar with. 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:02.480 But I don't know how. 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.160 Many resources were used to game plan against the Chargers. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:07.839 I think that all eyes they can say whatever they want, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.920 but their eyes were on the playoffs and who they 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.080 may end up facing and so, but Andy Reid had 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.960 talked about it that I think Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelseel's 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:16.600 guys are arresting. 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.640 They were game planning for this. And you know. 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:23.480 I've only covered or been around day to day Andy Reid, 0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:23.959 I don't. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.720 Know how all the other NFL coaches would do it. 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.360 I'd be surprised if they didn't all have, you know, 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.760 this same line of thinking. And that one of the 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.280 reasons that Andy Reid is so good at what he 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:37.520 does and putting things on tape. And Andy Reid knows 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.040 what's on tape, so he knows what defenses know about 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.880 how they operate, and so he'll put out a lot 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.800 of plays that look the exact same. There's a lot 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.320 of window dressing with what they do anyway, but there's 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.920 a lot of situations where they will have the same formation, 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.360 same personnel group. It'll look like a play that they've 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.440 maybe run multiple times during the regular season that the 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.000 defense will see it and think they know what's coming, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.440 and there will be a counter or a ring to 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.920 it to kind of play off what they've already put 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.480 on tape. They've got, you know, iterations of the same 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:07.959 play in all different kinds of ways, and so I 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.600 don't know how much of it is installing new things 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.760 as it is showing things that they've repped in practiced 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.280 but they haven't necessarily put on game tape yet. Just 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:18.720 a little bit of a wrinkle and things that you 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:20.679 and I and nobody else would know except for the 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.640 guys on the field and the coaches, seeing how guys 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:26.320 react to certain things and then countering off that something 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.200 Andy Reid's been very good at. It's a chess match 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.120 that I love kind of understanding while knowing I really 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:31.800 have no idea. 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:33.680 Wow, it's all working. 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.760 But that's what makes it so intriguing for me in 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:38.760 being able to study and watch the Chiefs play and 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.840 to get into the playoffs, they can start unveiling some 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.719 of those plays where it looks similar to something we've 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:45.160 seen in the past, but there's just something slightly different 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:45.800 going on with it. 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.880 The more you learn about football, the more you realize 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.720 how little you actually know about football, right, So how 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.640 it always goes, that's anyone who's opinion I respect and take, 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.400 you know, take seriously, that's usually their mantra as well. 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.640 So it's it's good company to have that perspective and 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.160 you talk about you know, I love this time of 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:04.880 year obviously just to watch the NFL in general because 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.880 of what you talked about there. Like I go back 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.679 to the I think it was twenty fourteen when the 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.360 Patriots and Ravens had one of those great playoff matchups 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:17.120 and the Patriots unveiled that ineligible like shift of guys 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.400 that were eligible out wide, and like whatever it was, 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.560 it's just you get those cool wrinkles. And when you 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:23.440 see Andy Reid and Mike McDaniel, you know you're going 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:25.800 to get some of that vic fangiosti spagnolo. So I 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.040 expect to see a bunch of you know, different new 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:30.200 things and like you talked about wrinkles, and it's gonna 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:32.280 be fun to watch how both teams and coaching staffs 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.560 adjust to that. Speaking of Andy Reid and that Chiefs offense, 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.280 let's go back to that spot of the of the 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.480 field here, because it's just not what this team has 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.000 been known to be in the past. I mean, offensively, 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.760 that bar is so high that when you're what the 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.840 tenth best offense, it's like, what's wrong with the Chiefs. 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:48.880 But like we've had our first top to offense in 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.440 like twenty five years, so pretty good for us. What 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.960 do you think has or why do you think it's 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.319 been such a struggle on that side air quote a 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.640 struggle and how do you think they fixed that struggle 0:11:58.640 --> 0:11:59.920 heading into the second season here? 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:01.559 I think it's a lot of new faces. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.240 We knew coming into this year that they were they 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.040 isn't the chief personnel staff, coaching staff, all of them together. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.760 They were banking on a lot of development from a 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.520 lot of young receivers and guys understanding that in Andy 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.000 Reid's offense, and again it may be the same across 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.000 the entire NFL. I don't know, but you know they're 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.960 not necessarily plays called with specific routes sometimes and a 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.960 lot of times these guys, the receivers don't know what 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.120 route they're running until they line up and see what 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.600 the defense is lined up in. And when you do that, 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:32.960 you need all five of your guys running out routes 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.079 or if a guy staying in the block, you need 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.160 all of your guys knowing that you see it the 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.920 same way and that they ready. If this is the 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.960 leverage of where the linebacker, where the safety is, this 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:44.560 is where I break my route off, I break it 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.320 off early. If I stem in a different way, they 0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:49.120 all have to read it and see it the same way, 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:51.200 and Patrick Mahomes needs to trust that they'll be in 0:12:51.240 --> 0:12:53.600 the right situate, in the right place at the right time. 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.160 And that's just that has been off. Whether it's guys 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.000 sitting against zone coverage, guys will kind of lean toward 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.240 towards the leverage a little bit and the throw will 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:06.000 be behind him. And it's a conversation that we have 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.320 amongst chiefs fans all the time, and that you know, 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.520 some fans will see like that's an inaccurate past the 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:12.920 players reaching behind it. But then when you step back 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.880 and watch the video and you see the playing zone coverage, 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:19.439 you see him, the receiver turnaround and then start sliding 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.000 towards the linebacker getting close to him. He throws it 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.160 behind him because Mahome's like, why are you sliding towards 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.760 the leverage. That's where you're supposed to sit. And so 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.360 it's just getting on the same page of where to sit, 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.080 versa on how to stem certain routes based on where 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.559 the defensive players are. And that's a tricky thing within 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.240 Andy Reid's offense, and that I heard years ago a 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.840 player told me is Chris Conlin told me he's a 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.520 very cerebral player, very intelligent player, and he said that 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.240 Andy Reid's offense is a living, breathing thing and that 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.560 there's always an answer for anything that you see. There's 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.040 never a play pass, play call where there's not somebody 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.880 that's going to be opened if they're reading it the 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.400 correct way. And so something in the past that they 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:00.000 were so good at with a lot of the receivers 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.600 that have been here, this young group just hasn't quite 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:05.040 got there yet. And when Patrick Mahomes having to let 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.560 go of the ball before a guy makes his break, 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.400 not one hundred percent knowing if he's going to make 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.480 his break at the correct spot and if he doesn't 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.080 or if he runs the wrong way, very easy interception 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.400 in a lot of these cases, and so trust and 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.000 believing those guys are going to be in the right 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.200 spot and then getting to the right spot has just 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.640 been a struggle for this group. And they've talked about 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.240 simplifying the offense, doing different things they can to try 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:27.880 to make it to where everybody's more comfortable that at 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:29.760 least that's what was reported of the last few weeks. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.720 We'll see how it gets to this point. But that's 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:34.960 been the struggle and something that we don't expect just 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.360 to click and all of a sudden fix itself and 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.440 everything's fine. This is a long development thing that we 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:42.480 haven't really seen a whole lot of development from throughout 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:42.920 the season. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:45.600 I'm glad to hear your perspective on that because you know, 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.680 as you know this, this Dolphins offense is very similar 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.200 in the way that it attacks spots of the defense 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.040 and those zones and you don't get a lot of 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:54.920 man coverage when you have Tyreek kill and then wall 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.840 on the field, So attacking those zones with timing and 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.800 precision like it's you know. Jtos Ullivan the Quarterback School, 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.040 a host and creator, always talks about how sometimes these 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.720 timing rhythm offenses San Francisco, Miami, Kansas City, well when 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.600 it's off, it can look really bad, but it's like 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.040 just barely a miss because of that timing. So really 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.480 cool perspective there. I like when someone besides me on 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:15.480 my show says that, because sometimes, like Travis, you're just 0:15:15.480 --> 0:15:16.960 being in Dolphins home where it's like, no, it's it's 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.680 how it actually is so a very good perspective there 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.720 and something that you know, I think both these teams 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.480 are gonna have to be sharpon to find victory in 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.360 this game on Saturday Night. One more question before our break, 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:27.560 and I'm gonna come back on the other side with 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.320 some quick hits for you, BJ. But let's go to 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.360 the other side of the ball real quick defensively, because 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.520 just when the offense takes a little bit of a 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.640 step back, my goodness, you guys find stars all over 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.600 your defensive side of the football, all three levels. What 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.360 do you think is when the catalyst to that defense 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.320 for Casey this year that has really just become, you know, 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.840 one of the top teams or top defenses in the NFL. 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.000 It's a great question. 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.000 It's gonna be a long answer and probably not going 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.240 to be as specific as I like with it, but 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.160 all three levels of the defense have guys that they 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:57.040 can count on that that make plays. 0:15:57.840 --> 0:15:58.920 It all starts up front. 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.200 The Chiefs again that this group in twenty twenty three 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.080 had I think the top five most sacks and franchise history. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.680 They've been really good at getting after the passer and 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.760 it's not based on one guy Chris Jones is the 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:12.120 problem for opposing teams that he'd be the one you 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.760 have to look out for. But Charles Amene, who who 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.840 signed as a free agent, missed six games this year 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.480 with the suspension, still finished with seven sacks, which is 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.880 the most he's had in his career. George carl Loftis 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:23.720 is over ten sacks and he's leading the team in 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.560 sacks and has really come on and had a great season. 0:16:27.000 --> 0:16:29.320 And it's just complimentary football. With Chris Jones getting a 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:33.360 lot of attention, those other guys playing relentless football. Mike 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.800 Dana is one of the probably the most underrated player 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.560 on the Chiefs defensive front. If you ask anyone in 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:39.920 that locker room, they would tell you the same thing, 0:16:39.960 --> 0:16:42.400 and they consistently tell you Mike Dana doesn't get enough 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.240 credit for the way that he plays. But Nick Bolton 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.080 on the second level, everything kind of runs through Nick Bolton. 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:50.640 He's not laterally the quickest guy and not somebody in 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.400 coverage it's going to make a ton of plays, but 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.440 between the tackles he gets his hands on you. He's 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.560 a sure tackler can make plays. And then Lugarious Need 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.960 and Trent McDuffie are two of the best tandem cornerbacks. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:05.119 I believe in the NFL. Lagarious Need hasn't given up 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.480 a touchdown. There's a lot of stats out there. He 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.640 gets a lot of penalties. I think he's very much 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:10.520 on the if I'm gonna get beat, I'm just gonna 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.600 take the fifteen yard penalties though, and play physical. He 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:18.320 plays very physical. Tyreek will already know this Jayalen Waddle. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:22.120 If it wasn't in the first matchup, he'll learn about 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.520 Lagarious Need. We've seen it. A lot of receivers get 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.360 really upset with him. He is jamming at the line 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:28.919 of scrimmage. You saw the dust up with Jamar Chase 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:31.240 in the game against the Bengals a couple weeks ago, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.640 which is kind of look what Lagarious Need is known for. 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:37.480 And then Steve Spagnolo. They will send pressure from everywhere. 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:39.239 They love to send the house. They love to go 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:43.080 cover zero and shot and shot areas around midfield. They 0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:45.960 will put pressure on the opposing quarterback and make the 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:47.320 ball come out of his hand quickly. 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:48.720 I know they blitzed too. 0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:50.640 I think it was thirteen times on like thirty nine 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.400 drop backs in the first matchup, so every three times 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.800 he drops back, they're sending an extra player. And I 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.880 know that the Chiefs lead the NFL in free rushers 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.240 and unblocked rushers and passing blitzing situations, and that they're 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.240 very good at disguising, very good with timing and getting 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.520 a free rusher going after the quarterback, and so all 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.240 of those things combined, it's a very aggressive defense that's 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.159 not going to sit back. They're going to get after you. 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.000 Even if they get success rushing for upfront, they will 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.680 still send extra guys and give different looks to Tua. 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:20.199 He's gonna have to get the ball out of his 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:20.760 hands quickly. 0:18:21.240 --> 0:18:22.919 That was I think they or I know that that 0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.800 was the most blitzes the two US faced all your long. 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.720 Most teams don't blitzen, but you guys were able to 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:30.280 get it done and be successful long just fourteen points. 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.280 And then you know, coach mcdonalely talked about this week 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:34.840 in his press conference about how those blitzer could be 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:36.560 the plays that decided the game because it usually is 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:38.199 a big play for the defense or the offense, and 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.720 Miami hasn't gotten much zero this year. So I cannot 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.400 wait to watch that man, it's such a fun matchup. 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.000 We'll come back on the other side here with BJ 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.560 Kissel from the KC Sports Network on the Draft Time 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.160 Podcast and ask him about Tyreek Hill's return to Arrowhead. 0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.399 That's next here on the Draft Time Podcast, brought to 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:56.600 you by Auto Nation. Second segment here with BJ Kissel 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:59.200 from k C Sports Network talking Dolphins and Chiefs eight 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.760 o'clock on set night on the East, seven o'clock out 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.040 there in KC on Peacock Westwood one on the radio, 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:07.840 and I believe local NBC down here in South Florida. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.199 So it's the return of the Cheetah. We didn't get 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:11.919 it back in week nine because the game was not 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.040 either team's home field as a neutral site. What is 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.760 the what's the I guess buzz around town, the locker 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.000 room in the building, Like, tell me everything about Tyreek 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.520 Hill coming back to KC and how folks are perceiving 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:25.080 this one. 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.520 You know, it's gonna be very nuanced answer, because I 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:30.480 think a lot of Chiefs fans are not split, but 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.159 there's definitely some stuff there that everybody's gonna feel a 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:37.680 little bit differently. And my perspective is Terry Kill without 0:19:37.760 --> 0:19:41.399 question is the best receiver in Chiefs franchise history. Nothing 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.080 is going to change that. This is the golden age 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:45.960 of Chiefs football. We've talked about it before. This is 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.960 a level of success that very few organizations, to be 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.640 quite honest, across the NFL see this level of consistent 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.480 success for about a decade with what Andy Reid has done, 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.280 not just with the Super Bowls, but just winning seasons. 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.000 And when Andy Reid got there, this was a franchise 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.560 that I grew up rooting for that had the most 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:05.320 consecutive playoff losses in NFL history. So it was definitely 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.560 this golden age of Chiefs football that tyry Kill has 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.040 been a huge part of that, and that a lot 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:11.800 of the greatest memories that we all have that we 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:15.640 all kind of soak in, and that stolen the equity 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:18.480 that we take from the players making plays and our 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:20.359 ability to go talk trash to our friends about it 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:22.880 that root for other teams. Tyryk Kill is on the 0:20:23.000 --> 0:20:24.840 end of a lot of those other passes from Patrick 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.560 Mahomes to create those memories. 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:28.600 I don't think that goes away. 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:31.520 And the Chiefs don't obviously win the first Super Bowl 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:35.159 against the Niners down in Miami without him, and at 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:36.960 the same time, the Chiefs don't win the Super Bowl 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:40.080 last year without having traded Tyreek and have the resources 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.760 and the money freed up to spend to spend on 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:46.399 some extensions, some free agents, getting Trent McDuffie actually led 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:48.240 to Rashi Rice, and some of the picks got traded 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.520 up and used for different things. But they netted four 0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:52.560 or five different players, plus the money they had in 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:56.800 free agency, which allowed them, during a quote unquote rebuilding 0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:59.840 year last year, to still go and win the Super Bowl. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.439 All of that being said, Kyreeks made a lot of 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:07.119 comments about Kansas City since he's left, and I think 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:08.760 a lot of it's in good fun. You know, he 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:10.919 still has good relationships with those players. I think he 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.440 and Patch Mahomes are always going to have a good 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:16.560 relationship at some level because they each made each other a. 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:18.919 Lot of money with the success they had together. 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.400 It was a perfect situation for those guys to get 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.320 together at that point and that point in their career. 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.919 But seemingly Tyreek over the last couple of years has 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:29.240 made a lot of comments about, you know, feeling like 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:30.760 he was, you know, thrown to the side like a 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:31.959 piece of trash. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:33.080 And you know, it's just a line. 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.840 I don't think he means it disrespectfully, but it gets 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.760 a disgust enough a Chiefs fans will give you the 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:39.600 engagement you say something like that, they'll get in and 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.560 everybody will see it. And I think it just kind 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:43.159 of annoyed a lot of us, And to me, I 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:45.919 got annoying this year. Last year made all sense more. 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:47.840 We'll talk about the trades their first year there. At 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.880 this point, it's like, just stop talking about Kansas City. 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.040 You're ruining the fact that you are the greatest and 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:54.879 they have so many positive memories from the plays that 0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.080 you made while you were here. It doesn't need it 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.160 to get any more than that. But never got super 0:21:59.200 --> 0:22:02.440 disrespectful ever, you know, crossed any lines everything that was said. 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:05.680 So I think I hope Chiefs fans give him a 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:07.800 good ovation because of what he was able to do 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:10.080 while he was here. And I think for Tyreek, you know, 0:22:10.160 --> 0:22:12.679 the situation he was in here in Kansas City and 0:22:12.720 --> 0:22:15.439 getting drafted here, playing with Alex Smith and playing with 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:18.600 Patrick Mahomes created an atmosphere for him to be get 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:21.600 to get the highest paid contract in NFL history, and 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.200 that it was a trade that I think worked out 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:25.880 for both teams, at least from Kansas City's perspective. From 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:27.760 Miami's perspective, don't want to speak for you guys, but 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:30.119 you made him the highest paid receiver in NFL history 0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.879 for games like Saturday Night. For what he's got to 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:35.000 go out and do to back up getting that kind 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:37.040 of money. So we'll see how it plays out. But 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.199 I hope the ovation is positive. I don't expect it 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:41.520 to be super negative, but with some of the comments 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:42.800 that are made, I think a lot of fans are 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:44.439 just kind of annoyed and kind of uneasy about it. 0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.280 It's gonna make a little easier from cheer against them 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:46.760 on Saturday. 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.480 Yeah, that's split. That kind of splits perspective is probably 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:51.320 what I would expect as well, because like you talk about, 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:53.440 I mean, yeah, from the Dolphins perspective, all he did 0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:55.600 was go out and rewrite our franchise receiving record back 0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:57.679 to back years his own record this year, so it's 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.760 obviously very oppressive. And getting to note Tyreek a little bit, 0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:01.960 you know, I don't know him that well, but just 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:03.800 being around him a little bit, Like remember back in 0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:05.760 training camp where he said that he doesn't watch film, 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:07.320 he just plays mad night before the game, and he 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.719 said it's so Deadpam, Like it's like Tyreek, you're one 0:23:09.760 --> 0:23:11.520 of the most detailed brat runs in the NFL, Like 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:13.560 we know your bs and right now, but the way 0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:16.479 you say it is so convincing. So yeah, he's a 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:18.320 fun character man. He makes the league better with with 0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:21.439 the you know, just the I guess commentary he provides, 0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:24.160 and obviously the on field play does that as well. 0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:26.239 BJ asked this question to all my guests. This will 0:23:26.280 --> 0:23:27.840 be a second time I answering the exact same question 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:30.359 here on the podcast two parter. The Chiefs win the 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:31.920 game if and the Dolphins win the game. 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:36.960 If it's not next level football analysis, but the Chiefs 0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:39.679 will win the game if they win the turnover battle. 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:41.879 And I'll say the Dolphins will win the game if 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.920 they win the turnover battle. The Chiefs defense as good 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.400 as they've been in Matt Naggie, Chiefs offensive coordinator, spoke 0:23:47.440 --> 0:23:49.760 a little bit about it this week because this has 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:53.199 been like a retraining of Chiefs fans brains for all 0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:56.560 of us of what this team is this year, and 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.080 that it's not this high flying, thirty five points per 0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:02.120 game offense that can turn the ball over a few times. 0:24:02.200 --> 0:24:05.600 Get short, give short fields to a good defense because 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.440 you know you're gonna put points on the board. They 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:09.600 don't want to turn the ball over because their defense 0:24:09.640 --> 0:24:10.960 has been that good, and they don't want to take 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:15.000 unknit necessary risks. Chiefs finished second in yards allowed second 0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:18.399 points allowed across the league this year, number one in 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.600 the second half, number one defense, i should say, in 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:25.600 the second half of games. And so the Chiefs can't 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:29.000 offensively give Miami short fields in this game and give 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.439 them easy points when points don't come necessarily as easy 0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:34.159 to the Chiefs offense as they have in the past. 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:36.359 At the same time, as good as the Chiefs defense 0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.760 has been, they haven't turned over or created a ton 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.200 of turnovers. They don't have a ton of takeaways. They've 0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:44.560 just been very good at not allowing these long drives. 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.000 And so if Miami is able to get a couple 0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.719 of short fields, whether it's turnovers or whether it's special teams, 0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:51.320 is going to play a huge role in this. With 0:24:51.359 --> 0:24:55.119 the conditions as well, if whoever wins the turnover battle, 0:24:55.119 --> 0:24:56.359 I think will end up winning this game. 0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.280 Difference in the game last time a fumble six late 0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.119 in the first half that twenty one to fourteen. So 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:03.440 it'll play a big part as it always does, especially 0:25:03.440 --> 0:25:05.760 this time of year in the playoffs. BJ Kissel at 0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:09.320 BJ underscore Casey SMS for Kansas City Sports Network, his 0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.800 network that he founded in as the CEO of BJ. 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:13.760 Appreciate your time today, man, stay warm this week and 0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:15.560 best of luck on Saturday night. 0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:18.639 Man right, thanks JEMs and away he goes. 0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.960 Always love hearing the perspective there from Bj Kissel, who 0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.320 has a similar path to me. He was a fan 0:25:24.359 --> 0:25:26.119 of the Chiefs and ended up getting hired for a 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:28.119 role with the Chiefs and worked there in the pretty 0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:30.520 similar role that I fulfill here with the Dolphins for 0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:32.400 quite a while, and then went ahead and stepped back 0:25:32.400 --> 0:25:33.960 a little bit and took more time with his family 0:25:34.200 --> 0:25:37.080 and launched his own network of podcasts across the Kansas 0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.199 City sports landscape. So really cool stuff to hear from 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:42.080 him there. Really admire what he's done professionally and as 0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.040 a fan of the Chiefs.

We're also gonna pick the entire playoff bracket 0:26:34.240 --> 0:26:37.080 as well as the wild card games obviously, and then 0:26:37.119 --> 0:26:39.399 I'm gonna have a fun little rant segment for you 0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:42.440 guys about playoff football, where the Dolphins are, where they're 0:26:42.440 --> 0:26:44.879 going and the injuries and just a lot of stuff 0:26:44.880 --> 0:26:46.680 that I think Dolphins fans are gonna want to hear tomorrow. 0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:49.399 It's kind of my last word to the team before 0:26:49.400 --> 0:26:51.520 a huge game on Saturday, So don't miss that. But 0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:53.520 let's go ahead and pick this up right here, and 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.640 we're gonna take the coordinators availability and funnel it all 0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:59.520 through the game. I'm just all Dolphins and chiefs the 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:02.480 rest of the world. Typically, I like to expand this 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.120 portion and get extended knowledge on all things that cover, 0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:07.840 you know, especially things about our own team. But given 0:27:07.880 --> 0:27:10.200 the gravity of this game, like, hey, do you guys 0:27:10.200 --> 0:27:11.960 know we have a playoff game on Saturday night in 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.720 primetime against the defending champs. We're gonna do that. I 0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:17.000 didn't know if you'd heard that. But given the magnitude 0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:18.960 of all that, we're gonna keep it on that playing 0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.720 capeche capeche al Right Before all that, though, our last 0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.720 break right here Drive Time podcast here host Travis Wingfield, 0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:27.800 brought to you by Auto Nation, I'm gonna go ahead 0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:31.760 and start here with the conditions with head coach Mike 0:27:31.840 --> 0:27:33.359 McDaniel on the cold weather. 0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.520 It can be one of two things. 0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:38.159 It can be an excuse or it can be something 0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:41.240 that galvanized as a team because you're going through it together. 0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:43.679 Look, I'm I. 0:27:43.680 --> 0:27:46.720 Don't think you guys would mistake me for a cold 0:27:46.800 --> 0:27:53.760 weather body, Okay, but I'm I'm really excited to go 0:27:53.760 --> 0:27:58.280 go do that with the team because it's a it's 0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:01.720 a mindset thing that you do together. Other that you 0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:06.320 have to choose for it to be as minimal of. 0:28:06.520 --> 0:28:07.960 Uh an issue as possible. 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:11.280 You already know what that it's going to be the 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:13.880 coldest game that we've had all year and might be 0:28:13.920 --> 0:28:15.760 one of the coldest in history. 0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:19.400 So and you can you can. 0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.479 Put those in a bucket with all the other things 0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:26.760 that we don't have or we we haven't done, or 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:31.520 and that that goes in a bucket, and you can 0:28:31.560 --> 0:28:33.360 decide whether or not you want to just hang out 0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:35.040 with that bucket all day or you just want to 0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:38.720 go and try to put your best foot forward, come 0:28:38.760 --> 0:28:40.920 together as a team and chase something special. 0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:43.440 So that's it will be. 0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:49.040 Cold, uh it, And you know we the air conditioning 0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:53.040 gets in that in that huge space gets down to 0:28:53.120 --> 0:28:56.640 fifty or so, not even going to really I think 0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:59.600 that's kind of a insulting to the to the weather. 0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:03.840 At this point to be oh, we're ready. You know. 0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:08.920 The bottom line is is you have to have a 0:29:08.960 --> 0:29:10.120 collective mindset. 0:29:10.480 --> 0:29:11.720 Everyone has to be all in. 0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:17.080 And you know, I think that I'm I'm confident that 0:29:17.120 --> 0:29:18.480 our that our guys. 0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:21.360 Will be up for the challenge. 0:29:21.600 --> 0:29:23.600 I mean, at this point, it's just like, if the 0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:26.880 Dolphins can get this victory, it's gonna be such an 0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:29.600 exercising of so many demons. And just add this one 0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.680 to the list, right, all the narratives, all the collapse talk, 0:29:32.720 --> 0:29:35.880 all the December record, all the injury everything you add 0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.080 onto that, the colds game and franchise history. Bringing on, 0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.840 let's go erase every single thing at one time here 0:29:41.040 --> 0:29:42.560 and go get a big victory and go to our 0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:44.680 couch on Sunday at one o'clock and root like hell 0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.280 for the Pittsburgh Steelers to knock off the Buffalo Bills. 0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:49.280 The next question here is for to a tongue Bay 0:29:49.320 --> 0:29:51.120 Lowo on the exact same topic, the cold weather. 0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:55.520 Yeah, I think it's just a feel of how everything is. 0:29:56.480 --> 0:29:59.440 You know, what the ball feels like, what the what 0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:02.840 throwing feels like, what holding the ball feels like, if 0:30:02.880 --> 0:30:05.720 there's wind, if there's not wind, you have to take 0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:09.720 all those things into consideration, but you will. 0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.240 We'll go there, we'll. 0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:12.800 Test it out, and we'll see what we have to 0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:14.800 do as far as adjusting or not. 0:30:15.360 --> 0:30:18.280 What suits, What suits are the way to go. Frank Smith, 0:30:18.560 --> 0:30:20.560 you're from Wisconsin. Tell us about the cold and how 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:22.600 you prep for that weather as well as possibly wind 0:30:22.640 --> 0:30:23.240 and snow. 0:30:23.200 --> 0:30:26.280 All inclement weather. Like you know, there's obviously factors that 0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:29.040 we try and make sure that you know, we're on 0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:32.120 what we can control. I mean, you can't control what 0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:34.240 the weather is going to be that day, if it's 0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:37.480 you know, minus weather or whatever. I mean, all we 0:30:37.480 --> 0:30:39.920 can do is make sure that we know how to 0:30:39.960 --> 0:30:42.080 maintain what we need to do to be at our best. 0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.960 I mean when I was in New Orleans and twenty thirteen, 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.479 we're a Dome team and we went to Philadelphia and 0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:49.960 it was a I think it was a twenty degree 0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.400 or ten degree weather day, and you know, we went 0:30:52.400 --> 0:30:54.000 through a plan how we're going to do it and 0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:55.960 how we handle the weather. But ultimately it comes down 0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:58.760 to the guys you have and you know their mindset, 0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:01.600 you know, and whatever the challenge is going to be 0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:03.880 or you want to approach it, and take it on. So, 0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:06.560 I mean, I grew up in Wisconsin. I mean so, 0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:10.200 I mean, I was laughing. It's like, I remember when 0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:11.720 I was in high school it was minus ten the 0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:14.080 wind chill. It was miserable, and I remember it not 0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:16.240 being that cold. And then now when you're coaching and 0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:18.640 it's minus ten, you're like, it is cold, all right? 0:31:18.960 --> 0:31:21.360 Actively moving around sounds fantastic in that weather. 0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:24.080 Vick Fangio was also asked about the cold weather, but 0:31:24.160 --> 0:31:26.360 it was asked about what is the coldest game you've 0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:28.320 been a part of me? He talked about NFC Championship 0:31:28.360 --> 0:31:31.760 game Packers and Panthers back in ninety six, also a 0:31:31.800 --> 0:31:33.720 game up in Lambo with a member as a member 0:31:33.720 --> 0:31:35.640 of the forty nine ers. Two there. So let's go ahead, 0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:37.560 Gough and stay with coach Fanja who was asked about 0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:40.880 the additions of Bruce Irvin and Justin Houston. 0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:43.920 Not to try and do too much, you know, because 0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:47.200 the worst way you can play is to beat yourself 0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:50.680 not knowing what to do, you know, and not being 0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.160 in the right place at the right time, you know. 0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:55.240 So you got to be careful not to do too much. 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.720 But yet you know, you still have you know, we've 0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:01.120 got half our starters out there and they're yearning for anything, 0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:02.840 you know, to help win the game. So you got 0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:04.120 to balance that. 0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:06.520 I think Vic is one of the best obviously in 0:32:06.520 --> 0:32:09.600 the history of this game. But mostly what I'm going 0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:11.880 for here is the way he adjusts to his personnel. 0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:13.800 I think kind of makes those adjustments, so I have 0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:15.840 confidence he can find a way to get enough pass 0:32:15.920 --> 0:32:18.600 rush against this quarterback and the struggling offense. Go ahead 0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:20.560 and hear from the headman on those two new guys 0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:22.120 off the edge, you probably are gonna play a lot 0:32:22.160 --> 0:32:22.600 on Saturday. 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:27.160 You know, there's problem solving left and right in NFL football, 0:32:27.800 --> 0:32:34.480 and there that's a unique challenge. Everyone has that that 0:32:34.480 --> 0:32:37.960 that I know, everyone has a collective ambition. 0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:39.120 To do something cool. 0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.280 So you know that the coaches on the defensive side 0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:44.920 of the ball, and you talk about Vic and Ryan 0:32:44.960 --> 0:32:47.640 Slok and Wade Harmon are up for the challenge to 0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:51.880 try to get these guys up to speed as fast 0:32:51.880 --> 0:32:55.080 as possible. We're fortunate that there's overlap and scheme. 0:32:56.760 --> 0:32:56.880 Uh. 0:32:57.840 --> 0:33:02.080 We're fortunate that, you know, we yeah, fortunate that our 0:33:02.240 --> 0:33:06.000 personnel department, you know, is on top of it. The 0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:10.200 way they are and we can have guys join the 0:33:10.200 --> 0:33:16.480 team that I'm not gonna have to really, I'm not 0:33:16.480 --> 0:33:19.840 gonna have to inspire to understand what the moment is. 0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.760 Veteran players in this league know how precious each and 0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:27.960 every playoff game is. They know exactly what you're preparing for. 0:33:28.040 --> 0:33:31.680 It is football at its finest. You can feel the 0:33:31.840 --> 0:33:36.840 energy when when the team that loses the game, their 0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:40.200 season is over. There's a different energy in the stadiums 0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:45.800 and that is as good as it gets. So they'll 0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:50.040 be preparing diligently. They'll know what that kind of looks like. 0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:57.680 The relationships on the team with players you know already, 0:33:58.640 --> 0:34:00.920 but then those those will grow this week and we'll 0:34:00.920 --> 0:34:05.440 see if we can do something cool with you know, 0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:08.120 a little adversity in that realm. 0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:10.480 Let's keep it here with head coach Mike McDaniel and 0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:13.239 ask about the KC defense. I asked him about how 0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:16.439 often top quarterbacks like to a tongue of by Lowa 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.600 get blitzed and how infrequent it is you see with 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:20.960 Patrick Mahomes as well, and Josh Allen's a guy you 0:34:21.000 --> 0:34:22.880 don't blitz a whole lot. A lot of these quarterbacks 0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:25.320 that can beat you with either the extension of plays 0:34:25.400 --> 0:34:27.840 or between the ears just don't see the blitz very often. 0:34:27.920 --> 0:34:31.160 But the Chiefs blitzed to the highest rate he saw 0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:32.960 all year, right in line with their thirty three percent 0:34:32.960 --> 0:34:35.680 blitz rate on the season. And you know, coach alluded 0:34:35.680 --> 0:34:37.719 to this in his Thursday press conference that we're going 0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:40.720 to cover on tomorrow's podcast about how the Giants blitz 0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:42.440 at the highest clip in the NFL. And in the 0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:44.759 game that they played against the Giants back in Week five, 0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:46.799 they blitzed like two times, which is, you know, a 0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:49.000 good indicator of how to we can impact the defensive 0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:52.279 game plan. But I asked him about how blitzing of 0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:55.200 a quarterback and just blitzing in general can change the 0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:58.000 perspective of a game. Here's coach with very good insight 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:00.719 here into what blitzing does both the defense and for 0:35:00.760 --> 0:35:02.719 the offense that sees said blitz. 0:35:02.680 --> 0:35:05.600 You're seeing a guy that's been that's had control of 0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:10.799 his own system for an extended period of time, that 0:35:11.680 --> 0:35:14.640 has has never been afraid to be bold. 0:35:16.440 --> 0:35:19.319 You know, there was uh, he was. 0:35:22.280 --> 0:35:27.239 Blitzing corners when that wasn't necessarily as in vogue back 0:35:27.280 --> 0:35:29.200 in the early two thousands. 0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:32.120 But the system is. 0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:37.719 His own and because of that, within it it has 0:35:37.800 --> 0:35:41.440 answers for pretty much everything which keeps you off balanced. 0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:45.640 They do a great job teaching it collectively as a 0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:48.440 coaching staff. You can tell because of the ownership that 0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:54.600 the players have the nonverbal and the nonverbal communication and 0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.360 and how orchestrated people are. There's a lot of a 0:35:57.360 --> 0:36:00.920 lot of communication. It's an intricate system them that you 0:36:00.920 --> 0:36:06.160 can see, you know, time is Time has just helped them, 0:36:06.440 --> 0:36:10.919 uh to the point that they're, you know, a top 0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:13.440 five defense in the National Football League and play like 0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:18.480 it every week, so that they're I think, you know, 0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:23.560 that is hit. I think they do really what they do, 0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:27.120 they're you're you're going to see coverage and you're going 0:36:27.200 --> 0:36:29.920 to see blitz and he's going to try to keep 0:36:29.920 --> 0:36:34.960 you off balanced. So the the idea is to you know, 0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.120 it's it's not like blitzing is necessarily a bad thing 0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:40.680 to face. I you know, there's a lot of times 0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:45.439 that I actually prefer that just because you if you're 0:36:45.480 --> 0:36:49.680 on your p's and q's, you can there there's less 0:36:49.680 --> 0:36:54.239 field covered. However, you have to be on your p's 0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:59.320 and q's you. Everyone has to be coordinated uh and 0:36:59.440 --> 0:37:01.399 so a lot of times it can be a big 0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:02.319 play for either team. 0:37:02.360 --> 0:37:04.120 It just depends on who's executing better. 0:37:04.200 --> 0:37:08.759 So you know, I think that I fully expect them 0:37:09.200 --> 0:37:15.520 to do what they've done throughout the season, and you know, 0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:19.960 they're I see on the defensive side of the ball 0:37:20.080 --> 0:37:22.800 for the Chiefs, I see something similar. 0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:24.600 To that of. 0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:29.239 The offense they're facing this week with us, is that 0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:35.239 they they worry about themselves more than uh and and 0:37:35.280 --> 0:37:38.879 how they execute their craft and and what what they 0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:45.759 are over worrying about what other problems the opponent presents. 0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:48.680 So a lot of ownership. It's a it's a very 0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:53.520 well coached and cool unit to to to watch, and 0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:55.920 it presents pretty good challenge for us. 0:37:56.040 --> 0:37:58.120 Let's stay with Tula on the exact same topic of 0:37:58.120 --> 0:38:00.440 the Chiefs defense and the Blitz happy no nature of 0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:01.240 Steve Bagnolo. 0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:05.000 I think it's playing on time, knowing where my hots are. 0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:09.480 UH if I can, you know, outside of our motions, 0:38:09.520 --> 0:38:13.520 if we're allowed time to uh change protection, then we 0:38:13.560 --> 0:38:17.120 can do that. But because of how on time we 0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:21.239 do play, you know, that's that's sort of how how 0:38:21.280 --> 0:38:25.920 we we have been beating teams with pressures, the different 0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:29.200 looks that they present to us. And then obviously you 0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:33.280 have Chris Jones. I mean that dude's a that dude's different, 0:38:33.600 --> 0:38:35.880 a lot of respect for his game and what he 0:38:35.960 --> 0:38:39.360 can do in in disrupting a game plan and disrupting 0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.759 a game. So we'll have to know where where he's 0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:46.960 at during the game and really just trust our keys. Uh, 0:38:47.000 --> 0:38:49.879 they give us different looks. They present you know, one 0:38:49.960 --> 0:38:52.560 high deals, then go to too high. They present two 0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:55.200 high deals, then have fire zone. So we'll just have 0:38:55.320 --> 0:38:57.799 to be ready. And then uh, you know with with 0:38:57.840 --> 0:39:00.600 their zeros that they have too so you just got. 0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:01.120 To be ready with that. 0:39:02.000 --> 0:39:04.560 And yeah, here we go. 0:39:05.320 --> 0:39:07.160 I don't know, guys, this team is fired up and 0:39:07.239 --> 0:39:08.880 ready to go get a victory for us on Saturay. 0:39:08.920 --> 0:39:10.840 Let's go ahead and stay here with Frank Smith and 0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:12.560 get his take on the Kansas City defense. 0:39:12.640 --> 0:39:13.680 You know, their ability to. 0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:20.520 Really communicate well, you can see that they're very well connected. 0:39:21.600 --> 0:39:24.719 They like, you know, dictate the terms, make sure that 0:39:24.760 --> 0:39:27.279 they're all you know, from the back end to the 0:39:27.280 --> 0:39:30.880 front end. You know, they're playing sound defense. You know, 0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:34.440 I worked with him in New Orleans in twenty twelve. 0:39:34.600 --> 0:39:38.719 So he's a very meticulous guy. He's gonna be on 0:39:38.800 --> 0:39:43.400 all the details, so beyond all the things that you 0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:46.440 know we do as an offense. So it'll be a 0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:49.640 big challenge because it's like you have a guy like 0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:51.640 Steve and his staff that do a great job with 0:39:51.760 --> 0:39:55.400 you know, Andy and just the whole program. So and 0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:58.120 going an arrowhead is not an easy endeavor. So it's 0:39:58.120 --> 0:39:59.800 going to be on us to be on all the 0:39:59.840 --> 0:40:03.319 things we need to be ready for in our communication 0:40:03.440 --> 0:40:05.799 and the environment. As we're going to Saturday night. 0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.000 We're gonna have full games. As for you, guys probably 0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:10.040 are on four o'clock this afternoon, four or five o'clock 0:40:10.080 --> 0:40:12.759 on Thursday, because game on Saturday, you move everything. 0:40:12.560 --> 0:40:13.040 Up one day. 0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:16.240 But we did hear from McDaniel and his Thursday press 0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:19.719 conference that Wattle, Moster, Holland, and Elliott will all be questionable. 0:40:20.400 --> 0:40:23.280 I'm not one to, you know, put anyone's physical abilities 0:40:23.280 --> 0:40:25.600 out on the line, but I would hope that you 0:40:25.800 --> 0:40:28.239 if you're questionable, you play in the game. McDaniel did 0:40:28.280 --> 0:40:30.719 allude to the fact that it's the big concern is 0:40:30.760 --> 0:40:32.680 having guys up that end up getting hurt in the 0:40:32.719 --> 0:40:34.440 game and the stress it puts on the reci of 0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:36.319 you numbers only having forty eight guys stress in the 0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:38.920 game as it were. So we'll find out, but hopefully 0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:41.680 there's positive news there. What would it mean though, here's 0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:44.480 two again to get Waddle back into the offense. 0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:47.880 Yeah, I think it helps us out a lot, you know, 0:40:48.080 --> 0:40:52.600 And then it'll it'll uncover what defensively, what they what 0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:55.239 they want to do. If they want to bracket both 0:40:55.320 --> 0:40:57.799 those guys, we're going to have to find, you know, 0:40:57.840 --> 0:40:59.880 other guys that can win their one on one matchups 0:41:00.160 --> 0:41:02.560 or if they want to double Tyreek, you know, we'll 0:41:02.560 --> 0:41:05.200 find Jalen, or we'll find someone else that you know 0:41:05.320 --> 0:41:07.000 is working their matchups. 0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:09.080 So we'll come out, we'll see. 0:41:08.920 --> 0:41:12.759 What they they they want to do, and we'll go 0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:13.200 from there. 0:41:13.880 --> 0:41:15.960 Gonna be frank with you guys. I predicted the victory 0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:19.399 on the Wednesday podcast. If Walld doesn't play, I'm gonna 0:41:19.400 --> 0:41:21.719 probably change that because the way the game played out 0:41:21.920 --> 0:41:24.439 against the Bills, like, there were so many situations where 0:41:24.640 --> 0:41:27.400 drives ended because we couldn't beat one on one coverage 0:41:27.560 --> 0:41:29.600 with three way gohs. And that's a concern that I 0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:31.719 have with the roster, you know, in the playoffs and 0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:33.399 going into next year. I think it's a big area 0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:36.600 you have to address with especially concerning the frequency of 0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:38.879 Wattle's injuries this year and then Tyreek being not right 0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:40.360 for the last month because of the ankle. But I 0:41:40.400 --> 0:41:44.120 mean Wattle, I mean training camp, got injured, played sparingly 0:41:44.160 --> 0:41:45.840 in the in the Charger game, got hurt in the 0:41:45.840 --> 0:41:49.000 Patriot game, missed the Denver game, came back in Buffalo, 0:41:49.120 --> 0:41:50.840 was limited in that one. He got hurt in the 0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:53.080 Eagle game, I believe again it was got rolled up 0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:54.879 in the Chiefs game and played like half of that game. 0:41:55.160 --> 0:41:58.080 Got injured in a later game, didn't he against the 0:41:58.440 --> 0:42:00.239 No I got hurt against the Cowboys twice. Has been 0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:02.600 a long year for Gilen Waddle. But with these two 0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:04.600 guys in the field, I think our offense, Tygreek and 0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:07.000 Wattle can score enough points and win this game. Let's 0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:08.759 go ahead and finish up here with one last one 0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:12.080 from Fangio, speaking of the injuries, have you stopped at 0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:13.960 all the season, coach and just kind of asked yourself, 0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:15.560 why us here's coach. 0:42:15.400 --> 0:42:19.160 On the injuries once and some of it at you 0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:25.279 know one position in particular, you know, outside linebacker and 0:42:25.360 --> 0:42:30.279 safety in particular. You know, there's no woe as me 0:42:30.360 --> 0:42:34.719 in this business. You know, everybody looks at this as 0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:40.920 kind of Madden on the PlayStation, and I'll expect results. 0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:43.359 You know what they used to say in them Attorney Ward, 0:42:43.400 --> 0:42:45.480 don't tell me about the pain, Just show me the baby. 0:42:46.600 --> 0:42:50.600 You can't say that anymore. But everybody's expecting a good 0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:54.319 performance from us, and we're gonna do everything we can 0:42:54.400 --> 0:42:54.799 to do it. 0:42:55.320 --> 0:42:57.960 The vibe of this show kind of almost took a 0:42:58.080 --> 0:43:00.880 like end of week, let's go Riley cry type of 0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:03.800 ending to the show. But I do have an episode tomorrow, 0:43:03.800 --> 0:43:06.200 but I am feeling all in on this game. Let's 0:43:06.200 --> 0:43:08.440 go get it baby. But tomorrow Ross Tucker on the 0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:11.160 podcast will join us. We'll do playoff picks, both the 0:43:11.239 --> 0:43:13.880 wild card and the full bracket.
