1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: The National Football League is much different than Major League

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Baseball plays one hundred and sixty two games. For the

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: NBA eighty two games or the NHL over eighty games. Nope,

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: there's only seventeen regular season games. They all matter every

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: week cannot be taken for granted, especially when it's Raiders week.

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: This Defending the Kingdom episode, of course, like them, all

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: brought to you by Ticketmaster, and there'll be many fans

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: that will have used Ticketmaster to get into Legion Stadium

9
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: once again, the site of our Super Bowl fifty eight victory,

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: but this time it is a Week eight game against

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Comes the end to round on a Jet sweep,

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: it goes to Hartman, cuts it back and kills it

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: to the end zone right the left on the Jets

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: sweep for Col Hartman. Hey, before we jump into the

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: last team and jumping into a Raider week. Breaking news here,

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: Matt and hits the parallel of when we record earlier

17
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: in the week to have something happen.

18
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 2: But we're both excited about this because.

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, it leaked out early in the morning that

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, the three Town Hall pro probably future Hall

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: of Famer, is now a Kansas City.

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: Chief and it leaked in the middle of the night too.

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,199
Speaker 3: Ellie woke up early, and I woke up at like seven,

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: and she was like, your phone has been going off

25
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 3: for over an hour, Like what's going on? And whenever

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 3: that happens, I'm like, something good, probably happened or bad,

27
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: hopefully good. I check my phone and that's the first

28
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: thing I see. Awesome thing to wake up to. We

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: can talk about it here, but yeah, I'm fired up

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: about this. Nothing like an emergency segment in our podcast

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 3: match how about that?

32
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 2: I love it.

33
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: We need to just need a breaking news ribbon at

34
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: the bottom, you know, lower third here DTK breaking news.

35
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: But I think the kingdom's excited about this as you

36
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: and I are. When you look at d Hop, you're thinking, okay.

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: You look at the age. He came into the league

38
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: the same year that Travis Kelcey did in twenty thirteen.

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 2: He was in that same draft.

40
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: But volume, receiver catch radius, catch ratio targets to drops

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: has always been high. The fact that in Brett Veach,

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to put it out I think on Twitter

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: slash X after we're done here is can we get him?

44
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: NFL executive of the year because you didn't rip up

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: your twenty five draft equity. It's a fifth round pick

46
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: that could be a fourth conditional pick depending on the

47
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: production of d Hop but all those things being considered

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: at the leadst bringing in a chain mover, catch radius,

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: red zone guy that still was on at seventy five

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: catches last year.

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: I remember our podcasts last summer. It was like Veach

52
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: never sleeps truly making believer.

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Get pinged in the middle of the night, or Ellie.

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: Is actually making making deals for a future Pro Football

55
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer at like four in the morning. But yeah,

56
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: I'm with you. Look at since twenty thirteen when he

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 3: entered the NFL, leads the league in targets, catches, receiving yards,

58
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: receiving first downs, catches the twenty five or more yards,

59
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: and he's third and receiving touchdowns. He just as a

60
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: player that is reliable. You know what you're getting every

61
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: single day from him. He's always been this reliable, consistent receiver.

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: We always talk about the with kel so how he

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 3: has the second longest streak in the NFL since twenty

64
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: thirteen of catches in a game, like having a catch

65
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 3: every single game. Well, Hopkins is first. So Hopkins and

66
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: Kel's in the same offense. Having that kind of reliability too,

67
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: players that you know what you're getting every single time,

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: and defenses can't just double Travis Kelcey every time now

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: because you have to respect DeAndre Hopkins what he can

70
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: do on this offense. And the drop rate. This guy

71
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 3: does not drop passes. He has been targeted at over

72
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: a thousand times in his career, has a drop rate

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: of three percent. He has like six drops since twenty twenty.

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 3: So this is a reliable chain mover, a guy who's

75
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: a weapon in the red zone and that you can

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: count on game in and game out. This is super

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: exciting if you're a Chiefs fan and a.

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Tight window catcher too.

79
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: I think that that's as time these weeks go on

80
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: with him working with Pat that there will be that

81
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: kind of understanding and feeling of like I can throw

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: it into that tight window. But what is interesting here

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: about de hop is that with our receivers, and we've

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: talked about this on Defending the Kingdom in the past,

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: that these receivers, our receivers really since Coach has been here,

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: have had to know anything. Are they a carpenter Are

87
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: they a plumber, are the electrician?

88
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: No, they're all of it. They have to do it all.

89
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: But with de Hop, and we were discussing these numbers

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: earlier this morning, roughly twenty percent of his snaps have

91
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: been in the slot. That means eighty percent he's been

92
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage in the X. So one

93
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: thing that's different about this one, and I'm really anxious

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: to talk to coach, is how does he fit this

95
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: because now, for the first time, maybe in the Andy

96
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: Reid regime in Kansas City, maybe j Mac a little bit,

97
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: maybe Jeremy Macklin, but you have an ex receiver here

98
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: that doesn't look like slot move around guy.

99
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. I'm totally with you on that. He's

100
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: played some slot in his career, but you laid out

101
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: the numbers. For the most part, he is an outside receiver,

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 3: so it should be interesting how he's used here in

103
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: Kansas City. The thing with d Hop to get back

104
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: to the reliability point, sometimes you don't like having a

105
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: player who only plays the X because they're not always

106
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 3: winning well. D Hop in his career has proven that

107
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: he can be out on that island because he's going

108
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: to win he has a contestant catch rate of like

109
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: sixty percent for his career, so I think tight window

110
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: throws and again just being a chain mover, it's third

111
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: and eight, where is d Hop? Because d Hop has

112
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: made a living on plays like that and in situations

113
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: like that.

114
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 4: I look this up.

115
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: Seventy percent of his career catches have gone for a

116
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: first down or for a touchdown. He's averaging over thirteen

117
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: yards per catch in his career. And last year in Tennessee,

118
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: when the Titans offense was not very good. I mean

119
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: you went between Will Levis and Ryan Tannehill. They are

120
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: twenty eighth in the NFL in total offense, he still

121
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 3: put up seventy five catches for over one thousand yards.

122
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 3: He led the Titans in just about every offensive category

123
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: in terms of throwing the football, and that was what

124
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 3: defense is knowing he was the guy, he was the

125
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: focal point, still got his numbers. So he drop him

126
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: into a culture like this with Patrick Mahomes or the

127
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 3: chance to go after a third consecutive Super Bowl, I

128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 3: think he's going to be excited, reinvigorated, and I just

129
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 3: can't wait to see what he can do. Almost right

130
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: away on this offense because he's proven year in and

131
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: year out he can be the guy, and you throw

132
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: him in with Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and what

133
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: we have going on here a pretty big deal.

134
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: I'm fired up, if you can't tell.

135
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: I'm real fired up about it, and just in the

136
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: way that it came down as far as cap preserving

137
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: equity in the twenty five draft, getting a all pro

138
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: receiver not just a pro bowler. And one thing he'll do,

139
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: Matt is that if you think of why people play

140
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: kelse where either one or two or one and a

141
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: half guys are occupied by kels. Now you have a

142
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: guy that will totally get the at least the attention

143
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: and of the defensive play callers of at least one guy.

144
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Meaning you cannot let d Hop. If I'm a corner,

145
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: depending on who I'm taking, I can peek my eyes

146
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: inside or my scheme as such where I'm occupying two

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: on Kels, but I can't peek away maybe not now,

148
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: not with d Hop.

149
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: So what does that do?

150
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: It opens the door think about this, Matt for Xavier

151
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Worthy or Justin Whinson, for the other receivers who may

152
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: line up in the slot, and on the move because

153
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: that corner who's got to have total eyes and body

154
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: on d hop That's a big change here now in

155
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: this offense when you have an ex receiver like it.

156
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: And think about how we've been running the football with

157
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 3: Kareem Hunt rush for one hundred and.

158
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 4: Eighty four yards last week.

159
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: This is just so much more for the defense to

160
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: worry about because I'm with you, you have to worry about

161
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey, DeAndre Hopkins, that deep stuff down the field

162
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: with Xavier Worthy and now also the Chiefs have become

163
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: like this power inside running team. So even though the

164
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: points didn't really show it and the scoreboard didn't show it,

165
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: we'll talk about later in the podcast about how the

166
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 3: offense has been efficient in moving the football and last

167
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: week the finally were really successful in the red zone.

168
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: If they can keep that up, his offense could be special.

169
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 3: We'll throwing DeAndre Hopkins to the mix.

170
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: Now.

171
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: It just changes everything for the better. My one question,

172
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: Mitch is when you see him, is the first thing

173
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: you're going to do just pull him in the by

174
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: the chin and say it's Raider week.

175
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm on program.

176
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: I might because you and I got to pull back

177
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: here now too, because we've got to a turn here

178
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: and get back to where we are because remember, this

179
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: is the last team to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

180
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: It's Raiders Week.

181
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: Everyone on Mitch Holt's Voice of the Chiefs along with

182
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: senior team reporter Matt McMullen, the theme of this episode

183
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: of Defending the Kingdom is the last team. Don't take

184
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: it for granted. It's Raiders week, the team.

185
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: Two to beat us, which is hard to believe.

186
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 3: It was Christmas Day last season, and we talk about

187
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: this all the time. That was a real crossroads moment

188
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: for this team because we had not clinched a playoff

189
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 3: spot yet. We had to win to clench a playoff

190
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 3: spot and weren't really sure where last season was going

191
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: to go. And it could have gone one way where

192
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 3: we say it's not our year. A lot of weird

193
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: stuff has happened this year. We'll get him next year,

194
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: or we can buckle down and figure this thing out

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 3: and think about what's happened since then. We have won

196
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: twelve straight games, including Super Bowl fifty eight.

197
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 4: Pretty cool.

198
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: We maybe need to put together a video collage of

199
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: Marty Schottenheimer in his motivationals when it was Raiders week,

200
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: because I mean he was intense. But man, the fur

201
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: went up on the back of his neck when it

202
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: was the Silver and Black. So if you want to

203
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: get fired up listening to this DTK, let me just

204
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: take you back to some moments. Twenty fourteen. The Raiders

205
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: are zero to ten. The Chiefs had just come off

206
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: actory over the Seahawks were very good, and they had

207
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: to go to play the Raiders. And it was best

208
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: known as the Eric Barry cancer game because that's when

209
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: Eb after the game, was diagnosed with his cancer. But

210
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: Latavius Murray ran for ninety yards on a Thursday night

211
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: and I thought, uh oh, the Chiefs lose that game.

212
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen, probably best known for seeing, Oh, I don't know,

213
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters on the bart with his guy Marshawn Lynch,

214
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: who got kicked out of the game for fighting his own.

215
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 5: Player pretty weird Red Redo Radio in a play FOURDS.

216
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 5: I think he counted thirty one to thirty. We'll get

217
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 5: into this, okay.

218
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: Another moment, Oh, let's drive around the bus John Gruden

219
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: after a win at gha Field at Arrowhead Stadium. Let's

220
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: wheels on the bus go round and round, and then

221
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: the Christmas Day game last year where the Chiefs did

222
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: not allow a completed pass for the Raiders in the

223
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: last three quarters of an NFL game and lost. Now

224
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: that's where we're setting this only because if you're taking

225
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: this game for granted, one of the things I hate

226
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: about social media. Now I like social media, don't get

227
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: me wrong, but is it used to be just in

228
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: conversations with the locker room chat or me taunting you

229
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: or taking you know hey, And it's just it has

230
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: no redeeming value, especially for getting ready for a game.

231
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 1: It just sets up the ambush even more so. The

232
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs have to be ready to play this game. It

233
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: is Raiders week. Take nothing for granted, and you better

234
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: get your fur up on the back of your neck

235
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: for this one if you're a red blooded card carrying

236
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: member of the Chiefs Kingdom or throughout the world.

237
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and I mean there was also twenty twenty two,

238
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: the home game, I think it was Monday Night Football,

239
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 3: and they jumped out to a seventeen to nothing lead

240
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: on us. Now we outscored them thirty to twelve the

241
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 3: rest of the way. That was the Travis Kelce four

242
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 3: touchdown game, but we don't really group that in with

243
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: the ambush is because we want we kind of forget that.

244
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 4: At first.

245
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 3: It didn't really start very well for the Chiefs, but

246
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 3: these divisional games you never really know. You kind of

247
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 3: throw the records out because we know this team very

248
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 3: well and there's history there and some NFL rivalries they're

249
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: not real. Rivalries are kind of manufactured, but Chiefs Raiders

250
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 3: is real. You feel it when you're down there. These

251
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 3: teams don't like each other and that's what makes it fun.

252
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: But one thing that has always kind of bothered me,

253
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: and it shouldn't bother me. I don't know why it does.

254
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 3: But if you hear to like national folks, they'll talk

255
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: about the Christmas Day game and they'll be like, the

256
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 3: Chiefs got clobbered on Christmas Day. I mean it was

257
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 3: a six point game.

258
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 4: I don't know.

259
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: We lost twenty to fourteen. And that was the ultimate

260
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: example of beating yourself. I mean we two turnovers in

261
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 3: the span of nine seconds, both ended up in defensive touchdowns.

262
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: Credit to the Raiders, they play great defense that day.

263
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: But that's one of the things you got to keep

264
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: in mind in this game. Every play matters, Every moment matters.

265
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: You never know what's going to happen that could turn

266
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: the game. And I look back at the twenty fourteen game,

267
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 3: because yeah, the Raiders were zero to ten, weren't very good,

268
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs were coming off a great win over Seattle. Well,

269
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: the Chiefs right now feeling really good at six and zero.

270
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: I've got to make sure you go into this game

271
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 3: with the same intensity you have the past six games.

272
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 3: And because She's Raiders have no doubt that they will.

273
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: That's the goal of this Defending the Kingdom is to

274
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: get you ready for this game and not take anything

275
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: for granted because it is Raiders week, but we don't

276
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: want to take going around the world for granted either.

277
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: This is also I don't kid about this, but it's

278
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: cybersecurity month too, right, and I just we've all been

279
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: through it, maybe, but the ambushed hack and just how

280
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: devastating can be for a personal lives and for a

281
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: company life. So just being vigilant against the ambush is

282
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: a big deal. So we're going to be vigilant as

283
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: we get into our trip around the world here and

284
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: try to stay away from cyber attacks.

285
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 4: What we got I've got nine for you today. Ooh,

286
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 4: nine so for.

287
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, who will not play in this game

288
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: because of the hamstring, but nine. Hopefully he'll be back

289
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: for Tampa Bay and the Monday night game.

290
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 3: And also going for a ninth consecutive AFC West title,

291
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 3: and so win that AFC West title. You gotta win

292
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: your divisional games. So got nine for you today. Paul

293
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 3: is in Lakeland, Florida. They grew up in Raytown. He

294
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: used to sneak into Arrowhead to watch Lynd Dawson when

295
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 3: he was fourteen. I don't condone that behavior, but I

296
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: think the statute has passed. So I'm glad that you

297
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: enjoyed watching lyn Dawson when you were fourteen. Don't sneak

298
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 3: into Arrowhead, but I'm glad that you're still wrapping the chiefs.

299
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 5: Harder to do that these days, Harder to sneak.

300
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 4: Out a little bit.

301
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we have a listener in Germany. Rick is in

Speaker 5: Arkansas City, Okay.

304
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 3: I was even thinking to myself, like, wouldn't it be

305
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: funny if it was like a vers ive or sales thing.

306
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: It is, it's every week. I mean, Nevada Nevada. So

308
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,560

00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: it's no, it's the way it is.

310
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,240

Speaker 3: YouTube and stuff like this. Because I obviously talked about

354
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: Todd and Mary last week. Bill was listening. He's also

355

Speaker 3: he's like Todd and Mario, let's hang out and watch

357

Speaker 3: the Chiefs game. So I want all three of you

358
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,880

Speaker 3: or at seven thirty. Send us that photo and that

361
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: would make our day so pretty cool. We're connecting people

362
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: around the world. Cambodia Kingdom, YEP, Cambodia Kingdom.

363
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 5: Love, I love it.

364
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: We met Christian, you and I did. Christian is from Napa.

365
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 3: We met him at Levis Stadium on Sunday. He grew

366
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 3: up a Niners fan but made the switch when Joe

367
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 3: Montana got traded to the Chiefs and he's stuck with

368
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 3: the Chiefs ever since, which is really cool. And saw

369
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: us up at the press box just eating some nachos

370
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 3: and came over and said hi.

371
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 4: So shout out to you, Christian. Thanks for saying hi.

372
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 5: This is more.

373
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for hanging in there through the two and fourteens,

374
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: even though Joe Montana was long gone.

375
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 5: You have been paid for your devotion you have.

376
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 3: That's what's so cool about I think that era of

377
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 3: Chiefs fandom is that so many people kind of paid

378
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 3: their dues. They stuck with us, and then it's all

379
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 3: paying off. Now this is more of a statement or

380
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 3: a question than in around the World. But Catherine does

381
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 3: pose a great question. If I'm the senior team reporter,

382
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 3: who is the junior team reporter?

383
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 5: I need to figure what a great question. It's a

384
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: great question that might be a whole DTK episode. Yeah,

385
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 5: you would have to answer that question. Would be your

386
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 5: junior office.

387
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: We're on the search for the junior team reporter. Nicki

388
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 4: also makes a great point.

389
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: Nicki always writes in and Nicky said that, you know,

390
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 3: last week we talked about how the schedule from Hannibal, Missouri.

391
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, Mark Twain, yep.

392
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: She said that, sure, the schedule might be thirds now

393
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 3: like we said last week, but it's really not because

394
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 3: we played twenty games every.

395
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 4: Year, so it's top quarters. And I can't argue with that.

396
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 5: Nikki, we can't say that. You can't.

397
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 4: You can't.

398
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: That goes back to social media. You can be not

399
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: Nicky on there. You could be Mark Twain on social media.

400
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: We always play twenty games. I just taunched the opponent.

401
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: But we get what you're saying.

402
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is true that the final quarter of the

403
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: season is always the most important and has been the

404
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: best for us lately.

405
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: So well, if you count the three preseason games, it's

406
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: twenty games.

407
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 5: Without being hubris, yeah that's true.

408
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 3: Hopefully we're playing twenty games, twenty one games, whatever it

409
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: works out to this year.

410
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: Nikki, stay hungle, stay humble, and stay hungry on the

411
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: banks of the Missouri Mississippi River. Okay, the other I'm

412
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: going to add one too, because it was a great

413
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom show. You know, people can come out live.

414
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 1: We're at high Ve's all across the metro and it

415
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: was Nick Bolt and it was great. It was this

416
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: kind of you would have loved it because this was

417
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: combo maszoo am I Chiefs Kingdom. But I you know

418
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: who has the best man cave in Chiefs Kingdom history?

419
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: Who Caveman Bob Okay? And I called him Cowboy Bob

420
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: during the show and he was kind of offended. I thought, well, no,

421
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak Prescott's right behind you. It's Cowboy Bob.

422
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: Caveman Bob has a four sided scoreboard like an arena,

423
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: like think of T Mobile Center. In his basement.

424
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 3: What's he put on there scores, just random scores.

425
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it'll be like the I don't know, how's the

426
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings Memphis Grizzlies game, third quarter?

427
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 5: It's seventy four fifty eight. Okay, he just puts it

428
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 5: up there.

429
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 4: That's great, that's cool.

430
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: We've got to get pictures of his cave. But he's

431
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: caveman Bob, so sorry about the cowboy Bob reference. But

432
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 1: there was a lot going on, including the Twisted Sisters

433
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: were there, the Kingdom Twins, the Geeks, the Red Coders,

434
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 1: Weird Wolf. Weirdwolf was there, but out of costume. Oh okay,

435
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: then he was Clark Kent Weirdwolf.

436
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 5: But it's running season, so weird Wolf was howling.

437
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, we're howling too because this is Raiders week

438
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: and we're focused. I know, we're a little you know,

439
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: we're a little just what we do though, ha ha,

440
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: but we're we're in on this and we're just sound

441
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: the alarm. We've already given you the ambushes and that

442
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: ought to get you fired up enough. But there's enough

443
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: in this Raiders team to be prepared for, and it

444
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: starts with Max Crosby. He can totally wreck the party.

445
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: Six and a half sacks. He once again is among

446
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: the leaders in the league. He can just completely record

447
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: drive and he's got some help. Now on this defense,

448
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: have you seen their third down defense? Yeah, second best

449
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: in the league in the league thirty percent. Teams have

450
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: only converted thirty percent of third downs against these guys.

451
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll put out a flare and give you

452
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: a warning, but this Raiders team, you've got to be

453
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: prepared to play.

454
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 5: You've got to go out there and take care of

455
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 5: your business.

456
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting. So the Raiders defense is talented, has

457
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 3: some good players on it. The rent twenty ninth in scoring,

458
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 3: but doesn't really tell the whole story. They've been on

459
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,640
Speaker 3: the field a lot eighty one times, that's the fourth

460
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: most of any team in the NFL, and their opponent's

461
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 3: average starting field position is the thirty five yard line.

462
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 3: That's worst in the NFL. Now, they do have eighty

463
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: seven missed tackles, also most in the NFL. That hasn't helped,

464
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: but their offense has often put their defense and a

465
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: lot of bad positions. They're last in the NFL and

466
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: turnover a differential at minus thirteen. They lead the league

467
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: in giveaways with sixteen and opponents have scored fifty nine

468
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: points on those giveaways, most in the NFL. So their

469
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: overall numbers defensively don't look great, but they've also been

470
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 3: put in a lot of bad positions by their offense.

471
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: And we have respect for this defense. I mean, we

472
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 3: talked about it earlier. We saw what they did last

473
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 3: year and Max Crosby, yeah, as a perennial Defensive Player

474
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: of the Year candidate, So got to be ready for

475
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: these guys defensively for sure. No matter what the numbers say.

476
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: Spallane Devan Diablo, They've got some guys here on this

477
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 1: team that can again hit the pinata and ruin the party.

478
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 5: One guy who is prepared though, and.

479
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: The Raiders aren't in the Bay Area anymore, but I

480
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: almost wish they were for our guests this week on

481
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom, because we're going to get him.

482
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 5: Some virtual glasses to play in.

483
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: He'll be the first NFL player to wear virtual glasses

484
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: to play because every stadium will replicate Levi's stadium in

485
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: Santa Clara because he is just a menace there. We

486
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with the guy that

487
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: we don't want to take for granted in the Chiefs Kingdom,

488
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: Mcole Hartman, He's part of some of the biggest plays

489
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: in Kansas City Chiefs franchise history. As long as Matt

490
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: and I the Lord gives us oxygen on this earth,

491
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about it because we never let

492
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: people forget about your fifty eight yard kickoff return in

493
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: that divisional playoff game down twenty four to nothing that

494
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: started this whole thing.

495
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 5: But what about getting a second chance.

496
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: This episode's going to be about not taking anything for granted,

497
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: and you get a chance to reboot this whole deal.

498
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 6: I don't know, man, second chance is going to be nice.

499
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 6: I'm just happy to be here. I'm saying, like, I

500
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 6: think this is the place for me, the place I

501
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 6: like to be, the place I'm more comfortable. So just

502
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 6: to be able to be a part of anything, or

503
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 6: just to be here in this building is is everything.

504
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 3: What is it about you and Levi's Stadium? You have

505
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: four Russian touchdowns in your career, they're all in Levi's Stadium.

506
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 4: How do you explain this?

507
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: I can't believe it's all about Russian teschouns to that stadium.

508
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 6: I didn't know that until somebody said, did you tell

509
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 6: me that?

510
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 5: I told you that when we were going through and

511
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 5: looked at me.

512
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 6: Like I knew I got somewhere somewhere else, you know.

513
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 6: But that's crazy to think about. But hey, I mean,

514
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 6: I guess it's a good stadium. We get Russian teschdowns then,

515
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 6: you know. So I ain't complained it.

516
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: You've been a part of so many big plays. But

517
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the punt return in

518
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: this game, seeing the opportunity because it was such a

519
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: pivotal play.

520
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 5: Kind of walk us through.

521
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: It and what did you see and have I mean,

522
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: how much do you recognize where you're at this, Oh

523
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: this is a returnable one?

524
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 6: Well it was, like I said, it was big red.

525
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 6: And so that's kind of what the defense stays out

526
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 6: of the field and you I think you rally return

527
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 6: those those punts would bit red because the defense out

528
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 6: there they just you know, looking for the fake kind

529
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 6: of making sure everything is cool on their end. But

530
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 6: literally I was fitter frey catching all. Look at the field.

531
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 6: You will see me my head go up like a

532
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 6: little bit and like because usually when you when you

533
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 6: catch your punt, you know you want to locate the

534
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 6: ball you want to kind of like just look in

535
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 6: front of you and just see, like what's what's in

536
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 6: front of you. You know it's the gunners. You know

537
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 6: they're down there or they're close to you, and the

538
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 6: hanging time of the you know, the football. So and

539
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 6: that particular moment, I'm like, yeah, I'm for the freak catch.

540
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 6: I'm like, hold on looking. I'm like, oh no, it's

541
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 6: a space here, and I'm like I'm just like gonna

542
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 6: fair catch it. And when I caught it, the left

543
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 6: side of the field was just wide open. I took

544
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 6: a look and I'm like, yeah, let me go over

545
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 6: that way. But that way, you know, it got a

546
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 6: bit return.

547
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 3: So I want to ask you about the touchdown too,

548
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: because that was that that drive that really kind of

549
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: sealed the wind. And to that point there had been

550
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,239
Speaker 3: I think eleven plays nine runs pretty much right up

551
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: the gut. Their whole defense knew a run was coming.

552
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 3: You as a playmaker going around the edge outsided or

553
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: you knowing like I'm gonna have a lot of space

554
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 3: because you were like untouched.

555
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 6: I think, right yeah, when I got a run the edge,

556
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 6: I'm like nobody, nobody, nobody over. I'm like just get

557
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 6: to get to the to the problem. And Pat said

558
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 6: it before the hood like he was like, what do

559
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 6: you say? He was like, here we go, he said,

560
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 6: see hold to the ball, don't go out of bounce.

561
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, just score.

562
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 6: So when I when I was running, uh, Moody was

563
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 6: like overplaying a little bit. I'm like, man, I'm just

564
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 6: gonna cut back and just hopefully I can get it there.

565
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 6: And finally, you know, being the other guy collided and

566
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 6: did Tod the kind of gave us the extra push

567
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 6: to get in there.

568
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: So it But but whether it's a flip pass or

569
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: a jet sweep, you are a menace on these plays.

570
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 1: The coordination with Pat is so good. What about because

571
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: it's flawless, Like the defense didn't have a chance to react.

572
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: It's like ding, you're gone. I'm trying to call it.

573
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: How much of that is you being around Pat? How

574
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: much of that is you being a quarterback because you're

575
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: an awesome quarterback in high school?

576
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 5: How much of all that's come into play in these

577
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 5: Jets switch.

578
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 6: I think just man, Pat got a good a good

579
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 6: feel for those those Jets sweeps and even the pop passes.

580
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 6: I think he got a good feel for my speed

581
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 6: and and how I'm approaching you know, the mesh point

582
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 6: or the or the touch point. We've been doing this since,

583
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 6: you know, my rookie year, so it's a good good

584
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 6: feel there. He knows kind of like what uh, how

585
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 6: I'm approaching in my speed gaining them that because you

586
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 6: want to go too fast. You kind of want to

587
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 6: have a good speed. So then will you get the ball?

588
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 6: You can kind of like bubble or you could you know,

589
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 6: get around a defensive end so you could, you know,

590
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 6: have that room on the outside. So I think we

591
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 6: got a real good feel of you know, the speed

592
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 6: at the mesh point.

593
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 3: Xavier is pretty good at those two wh you guys

594
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 3: have sort of a similar skill set.

595
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 4: How have you taken him under your wing here? You're

596
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 4: a veteran now, which is hard to believe.

597
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 6: I know, right, that's a great player, man. It's fast.

598
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 6: You got all the tools to you know, be a

599
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 6: good receiver or great receiver in this league. So just

600
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 6: the things that I've learned when I first got here,

601
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 6: you know, with the guys that was hearing, just taking

602
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 6: what I learned, you know, and teaching him, you know,

603
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 6: and I think he's doing a good job of you know,

604
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 6: listening and learner. He want to learn. He wanted to

605
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 6: be great, So just not trying to overwhelm them too much.

606
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 6: Just give him, you know, a little tips here and

607
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 6: there as we go, and you know you can see it,

608
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 6: you know, apply as the games go.

609
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: The niked more that Bulldog's shirt too, after.

610
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 6: Your He had to wear that.

611
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 5: Man.

612
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 6: You know, it's just it's the SEC thing, man, when

613
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 6: you're the SEC. But you gotta understand, like it's it's

614
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 6: the real deal. It's not this not the Big twelve,

615
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 6: none and all that stuff. No disrespect to the Big twelve.

616
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 6: I think that was the Big twelve, right, Yeah, so

617
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 6: this is the new SEC now, Yes, the new SEC.

Speaker 6: So you gotta you gotta, you gotta get you gotta

00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 6: get that welcome one time, you know what I'm saying.

00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 6: So I think that was a good welcome for them.

00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 6: You know, that's a great football team. So they definitely

623
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 6: playoffs or even the SEC championships.

624
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: You know, Craig learned this too. He had to wear

625
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: the Tennessee jersey after Tray Smith.

626
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 6: Like, Okahoma has no chance, that's not this year. You know,

627
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 6: maybe a couple of years they get some of those

628
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 6: guys in there, but it's different in SEC man, it's

629
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 6: the midty NFL. And they called it for a reason.

630
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 5: You know.

631
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 6: Any given any given day, you play c T get

632
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 6: beat you know, Vandy beat Alabama and whoever thought that.

633
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 6: But you can't go in there thinking it's gonna be

634
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 6: easy because you never you just never know.

635
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: Is good this year this theme again is not taking

636
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: it for granted. And I'm just gonna say Raider Week

637
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: and not taking this game for granted. Especially this is

638
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: the last team that beat us. So your your preparation,

639
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: team's preparation for this specific week.

640
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 6: You know, you know overall you take it. You know

641
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 6: you approchest another week, you know. But it's the Raiders, man,

642
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 6: It's some of those ribbery games that you look forward to,

643
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 6: the game you circle or your calendar, and it's a

644
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 6: team that you know they want to beat us, they

645
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 6: want to come out here and give us a best shot.

646
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 6: But I think you just helped us to go execute

647
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 6: the game plan. But it's RADI, bro, you gotta you

648
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 6: gotta know it's gonna be a tough game. It's gonna

649
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 6: be one of those tough grimmy games that you're gonna

650
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 6: go out there. You gotta dig, you're gonna fight for

651
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 6: a with so.

652
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: Got a team to prepare for game to play. I

653
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: know all that, But for a split second, when you're

654
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 3: on that field again, you're gonna go back to that

655
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: spot in the end zone and go, that's pretty cool.

656
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I gotta go over there and see it look

657
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 6: like over there, got that or around here. You know,

658
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 6: it's gonna be fun playing playing that stadium again. Man,

659
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 6: it's a great stadium. I got a what a nice

660
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 6: stadium in the NFL, and so it's gonna be fun

661
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 6: to go up there, try to pull the show.

662
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 4: I'm happy for you. That's so cool that you caught

663
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: that touchdown.

664
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 6: Man, I appreciate it. I appreciate that.

665
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 5: And we'll close with this though.

666
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: How cool is that because someday, God willing, you left

667
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: grandkids and you'll be even sitting on your knee and go, hey,

668
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: let me show you.

669
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 6: This right right right, okay, wait to have.

670
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: That moment for all time and they'll go, well, wait

671
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 1: a minute, grandpa, what are you wearing twelve?

672
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 5: I know, yeah you're seventeen.

673
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I really really excited for like my like

674
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 6: my son to see stuff like that, man, you know,

675
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 6: because I wanted to play football. And so when he

676
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 6: gets like five or six, you show you this record,

677
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 6: this is what I did, you know, just let you know,

678
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 6: you know, but that's gonna be a great move. But

679
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 6: just to you know, go back, because that's something you

680
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 6: can't take away. You know, that's one of the things

681
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 6: is gonna be a history forever. It's only been like

682
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 6: two walk offs. Think James White got one and I

683
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 6: got one, so we with have two guys that's in

684
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 6: that history forever, you know. So that's one of those

685
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 6: things that, like I said, you can't take away. So

686
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 6: it's good. It could be always the you know, see

687
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 6: the plays or play that over with super bowls Cabarrea.

688
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: Don't take the moment for granted, don't ever take the

689
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: player for granted. Matt and I could run a theater

690
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: tonight and show you all of his big plays and

691
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of plays that you've forgotten. So Matt, you

692
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: and I put this out there all the time. If

693
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: you look at how many big plays Micole Hardman has had,

694
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: not just the Super Bowl walkoff catch, but there are

695
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and four yard kickoff return against the Chargers,

696
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: sixty seven yard punt return for a touchdown against Miami

697
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: on the road. So many plays that have been pivotal

698
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: in flipping the game over and it's awesome to see

699
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: him get a second chance to add to his lore.

700
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, just so happy for that guy. We've had a

701
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: chance to get to know him over the years. It's

702
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: crazy he's been in the league as long as he

703
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: has now, but he's the same guy from day one.

704
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 3: Just a great attitude, always smiling, always trying to lift

705
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: the others up, always treated us so well. And for

706
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: him to, you know, go to New York didn't wasn't

707
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 3: an experience he wanted.

708
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 4: It to be.

709
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 3: But he came back here and to catch the game

710
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: winning pass and the Super Bowl is just the coolest thing.

711
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: And he helped us win last week too. I have

712
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 3: a super obscure stat for you. Are you ready Okay?

713
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 3: He is the first player since twenty twenty. It was

714
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 3: Nahem Heines back in twenty twenty to do this, to

715
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 3: have fifteen receiving yards, fifteen rushing yards, and fifty punt

716
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 3: return yards in a single game.

717
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 4: How about that versatility?

718
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: The first nahem, heins reference. I think we've had on

719
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom first one. So the Colt fans who

720
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: have got it waiting for it, yeah, waiting for it,

721
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: they're like, yeahhe mins Bill's fans offensively and quarterbacks. So

722
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: Aidan O'Connell is out. He has a fractured rib. But

723
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,239
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew can be dangerous. I'm just going to tell

724
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: you he's won twenty four games as an NFL quarterback.

725
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: He made the Pro Bowl last year as an alternate.

726
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, remember how he rallied the Colts

727
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: after Richardson got hurt and had over three thousand passing yards.

728
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: Minshew almost pushed the Colts to another level. The fact

729
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: that he has also in his career sixty three touchdown

730
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: passes and this year a key piece they won at Baltimore.

731
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: The Raiders won at Baltimore over the Ravens. That's all

732
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: you need to know to get your attention at He's

733
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: the mustachioed Minshew and all this other stuff, but if

734
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 1: he gets hot, it can be a problem.

735
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: The thing with him is consistency, and that's why I

736
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 3: don't think he's been a consistent NFL starter in the

737
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 3: NFL is because he hasn't been consistent week to week.

738
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: But while he has been not great at times, he's

739
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: also been really good at times too, And you never

740
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 3: quite know what you're going to get when you're playing

741
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 3: a guy like this. Yeah, he was great against the

742
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: Ravens in week two to go into Baltimore to beat

743
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: that team, particularly after they had just lost to us

744
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,719
Speaker 3: and they were trying to get back on track. They

745
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 3: lose to the Raiders, so Minshew, we respect him. So

746
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: they're two and three in his starts. He's four touchdown passes,

747
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 3: five interceptions. Like we said, beat the Ravens in week two,

748
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: got benched after losing to the Broncos in week five.

749
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 3: Enter Aidan O'Connell started a couple of games. Now he's

750
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: hurt those so now it's back to Minshew. This is

751
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 3: a veteran player who's been around the block, who's been

752
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 3: on good teams and led comebacks in one game. So

753
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 3: we respect Gardner Minshew quite a bit. Got to be

754
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: ready for him. He's not been great this year when

755
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: under pressure or when blitzed, and this Chiefs defense, of course,

756
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: has been so good over the first seven weeks.

757
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 4: Of the season.

758
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 3: I think the best defense in the NFL can't go

759
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: into this game complacent though. Got to make sure you

760
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: create that pressure and make sure you stop Gardner Minshew

761
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: quite a bit here in this game.

762
00:33:58,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 5: The other thing to gets your attention is Brock.

763
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've watched him at Georgia and when they got

764
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: him in the draft, you and I always were there

765
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: watch every pick in the draft. We're like, Okay, we

766
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 1: got to deal with this guy. We want everybody in

767
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 1: the Kingdom to understand. This guy has had the best

768
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: seven games to start a career of any tight end

769
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: in NFL history. That includes our Travis Kelcey obviously, remember

770
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: he didn't play, only played one game with an injured year.

771
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: But still we can go down through all at Gronkowski, sharp, Gonzales.

772
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: Brock Bowers is off to the best start of any

773
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: tight end in NFL history in his first seven games.

774
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 3: This is the guy when you're looking at the Raiders

775
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 3: offense because DeVante Adams is no longer there. We'll see

776
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: if Jacobe Meyers plays. He hasn't played the last couple weeks,

777
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 3: he probably will, but brock Bowers is the guy on

778
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 3: the offense. He leaves this team and catches with forty

779
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 3: seven and receiving yards at four hundred and seventy seven. Already,

780
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 3: those forty seven catches ring second in the NFL. Only

781
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 3: Chris Godwin has more. He averages nearly nine targets per game.

782
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 3: He had a fifty seven yard touchdown against the Broncos

783
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 3: a few weeks ago, and overall he has five catches

784
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 3: of at least twenty five yards. So he's chain mover guy,

785
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 3: but he's also explosive and really he is the primary

786
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 3: focus for our defense going into this one. It helps

787
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 3: that Devanta Adams isn't out there anymore, because I looked

788
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: into the Ravens game, I was thinking, like, how did

789
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 3: the Raiders beat the Ravens in Baltimore? And Devanta Adams

790
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 3: was a big part of it. And when Adams and

791
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 3: Bowers are playing off each other certainly helps. Adams is

792
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: no longer there, but Bowers still hasn't lost a step.

793
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,319
Speaker 3: I mean, just a really, really impressive rookie. We're gonna

794
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 3: have to deal with this guy for a long time.

795
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 3: Hopefully we get off to the right start defending him

796
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: here in this game.

797
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: And I've always respected Alexander Madison. We saw him last

798
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: year as a Viking, very effective player. Don't want to

799
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:46,240
Speaker 1: get him going. So we'll close this way. Your thoughts

800
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: on how the Chiefs don't take this game for granted.

801
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 1: Remember it's the last team to beat the Chiefs. That

802
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 1: ought to get you fired up. But where do you

803
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs go to take care of business in

804
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: this week?

805
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: Let's play some Chiefs football and for the most part,

806
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 3: we did that last week against the forty nine Ers.

807
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: You take out the interceptions, that would have been a

808
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,360
Speaker 3: really clean game, I think. I mean, look at offensively,

809
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: we ran the ball for I think one hundred and

810
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: eighty four yards. That was our most since Week four

811
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 3: of last year against the Jets. Really impressive rushing game.

812
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 3: We were four of five in the red zone last week.

813
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 3: That had kind of been the issue early in the season.

814
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 3: We had moved the football but struggled in the red zone.

815
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 3: Not last week. Four of five in the red zone.

816
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 3: And then defensively, I mean, we were just nails once again.

817
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 3: Look at third down against the Niners last week. There

818
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: are two of eleven. That was the Niners worst mark

819
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 3: since early in the twenty twenty two season. San Francisco

820
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 3: entered that game as the number two total offense in

821
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 3: the NFL. Think about that that Deebo didn't hardly play.

822
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 3: I get that Christian McCaffrey wasn't out there, but still

823
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 3: it's a really good audio.

824
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 5: Gives hurt.

825
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand all that, But the Chiefs defense consistently

826
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: just were smothering San Francisco and their offense and what

827
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,319
Speaker 3: they want to do. And that's the key here in

828
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 3: this game. Just make sure that the Raiders don't get

829
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 3: off to a good start, because that's kind of the

830
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 3: key theme and a lot of those games that they've

831
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: ambushed us in. Don't let them get off to a

832
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 3: good start, have momentum. Conversely, for us, let's get off

833
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 3: to a good start offensively, let's finish in the red zone,

834
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 3: don't turn the football over, and it should be a

835
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 3: good day. But you can never take these guys lightly.

836
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: There's a reason we have a name for this week,

837
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 3: it being Raider Week, because you never quite know what's

838
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: going to happen. Is divisional football. The good news is

839
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is eighteen and one on the road against

840
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 3: divisional opponents. Let's make it nineteen and one.

841
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 1: I got excited last week when I saw the three

842
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: takeaways because this has been a Chiefs team as great

843
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: as they've been on defense, and I mean great, and

844
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: it's really been. Bolton and I were talking about this during

845
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: the show on the Chiefs Kingdom Show. The numbers have

846
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,919
Speaker 1: been spectacular, and we know about the string of games

847
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: twenty seven games under twenty eight points given up, but

848
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: they've not taken the ball away to get three takeaways

849
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: in that game and two interceptions by rookies. The Raiders

850
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: have ten interceptions, the most in the league. You mentioned

851
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: they're minus they have sixteen games. Boys, it's just ghastly.

852
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: They've given up three two scoop and scores and a

853
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: pick six that's part of the two and five. So

854
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: if to be aggressive, take the ball away from these guys.

855
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: They're also next to last in starting the last in

856
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: field position for an opponent. Again, special teams can be

857
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 1: a big part of this. And then another part of

858
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: my favorite stat Matt is the next gen stat that

859
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: talked about running inside the tackles. Right now, the Chiefs

860
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 1: are the number two team in the league in success

861
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: rate in running inside the tackles and last week was

862
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: one of the best since next Gen stats came into existence.

863
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: So Max Crosby's really good. But the Chiefs have become

864
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: outstanding and running and using those three interior offensive linemen.

865
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: You do that take it away almost the same recipe

866
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: as the forty nine er game. I think you can

867
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: take care of business.

868
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 4: You want one more kind of obscure stat.

869
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: This is a cool one though, and it kind of

870
00:38:58,120 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: goes hand in hand with what you were saying about

871
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 3: our sixth's running the football. So stats Pass, which is

872
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 3: a service that we use, gives us a lot of

873
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 3: our numbers that we tell all you. It's incredible. It's

874
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 3: an amazing database. They have a stat called successful plays,

875
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 3: and here's what it is. It's a little bit confusing.

876
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 3: It's anytime the offense gains forty percent of the yardage

877
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 3: necessary for a first down on first down, or fifty

878
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 3: percent of the yardage needed for a first down on

879
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 3: second down, or gains the first down on third or

880
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 3: fourth down. Basically, are you moving the football efficiently? The

881
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 3: Chiefs lead the NFL in this category at fifty seven

882
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: point six percent. Fifty seven point six percent of the

883
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 3: time the Chiefs are having a successful play. Considering the situation.

884
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 3: The Raiders are thirtieth at forty two percent, So the

885
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 3: offense hasn't always finished drives. But what this should do

886
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 3: is give you some comfort that the offense has moved

887
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: the football down the field with regularity. At times, the

888
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 3: red zone has been an issue. Turnovers have been an issue.

889
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 3: But we kind I saw it last week. When the

890
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: Chiefs are efficient in the red zone, they're very difficult

891
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 3: to beat when you pair it with this defense. If

892
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: you take away those giveaways, all of a sudden, this

893
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 3: offense looks very scary. So let's have a game where

894
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 3: everything kind of comes together against the Raiders and put

895
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 3: some fear into the rest of the NFL as we

896
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 3: go seven and zero.

897
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: You know another big piece of that, that very stat

898
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: that you said that nobody's talking about. The Chiefs have

899
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: the fifth fewest drops of any team in the NFL.

900
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 5: Wow.

901
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: Compare that to last year they were by far the

902
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: worst in the league, with over twenty five drops throughout

903
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: the year. So don't drop the ball, go get it,

904
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: take care of business here, but do not take it

905
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: for granted. It's Raiders week, and remember the last time
