But this one, I'm we're talking about being 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: big Red Ready. I think there's a lot of things 41 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: we can look at. Tom Brady's going after a seventh championship, 42 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: a tenth Super Bowl he's involved in. But to me, 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: the biggest advantage for the chief So then having Patrick 44 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: Mahomes is Andy Read big Red seventeen postseason wins, fourth 45 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: all time in NFL history.

We're gonna get 48 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: into why here, But your overall thoughts on the Chiefs 49 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: being big Red ready man, just understanding the method behind 50 00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: the madness some people, every decision isn't always with the 51 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: goal of winning a Super Bowl. Sometimes you have to 52 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: make decisions and you have to make some crucial decisions 53 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 1: internally about the direction and the path of your organization. 54 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: Understanding that the process is greater than the product, and 55 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: that every single day, every moment, you have a chance 56 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: to get your team just that much better. You have 57 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: to take advantage of it and setting that environment, that 58 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: learning environment for coaches and coordinators and players in the 59 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: in the in the presence of COVID and protocol and 60 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: all the things. It was so much pressure on the 61 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: head coach to make sure that the ship was in 62 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: the right direction, that the vision was still clear, that 63 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: everyone in the organization was on the same page and 64 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: understood what kind of sacrifice it was going to take 65 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: to get back to an AFC championship game, to get 66 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: back to Tampa Bay, to have the chance to run 67 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: it back. Andy Reid accepted the challenge and he led 68 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: this team in a bold and a brave manner. And 69 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna go into that in depth in this episode. 70 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: Let's take that thought overall, we get into the first 71 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: of our three, Big Red, and the first one is 72 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: Big Red is a farmer. Now, let me give the 73 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: history lesson for everybody watching and listening, and I'm going 74 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: to challenge you take Nico maybe the family on a 75 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: road trip to western Kansas because after the Civil War 76 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: there were freed slaves that were looking, now, what do 77 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: we do? And on many of the northern states, I'm 78 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: just gonna be honest here, we're not opening the doors 79 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: to give opportunities to those freed slaves. The state of 80 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: Kansas did. In fact, there's a place that should be 81 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: on the bucket list to visit the Chief's Kingdom. It's Nicodemus, Kansas, 82 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: Graham County, Kansas, about an hour and a half from 83 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 1: where I grew up. That was and it's a National 84 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: Register of Historic Places. There were black families, freed slaves, 85 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: given the opportunity with one hundred and sixty acres to say, 86 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: now you can make a life. They were farmers. They 87 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: some of the greatest families I've been around are from 88 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: that group. Clark's, Alexander's, Sweitzer's. There's a Rodney Brogden as 89 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: a leader in our community in Kansas City. He is 90 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: from that lineage. Incredible people became leaders, but they were farmers. 91 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: The work was never done, but they got it. They 92 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 1: got life, and they approached it the way Andy Reid 93 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: approaches coaching this team. I grew up on a farm 94 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: farmer two miles away, worked all the time, crabby, grouchy, 95 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: nothing's ever good enough. To the other way about two 96 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 1: or three miles was always looking at doing the cutting 97 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: edge thing, checking, always doing something different, What can I 98 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: do different? Still deal with all of the issues of farmer, 99 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: whether mark it's just a tough life, never work, never ends, 100 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: but it's how you approach it. When you gave your 101 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: analysis of Andy Reid to me, that's Andy Reid the 102 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: farmer man. What a farmer has to do is understand 103 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: the soil, understanding the field, what he has to work with, 104 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: understanding the nutrients, values of making an environment from the 105 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: beginning of training camp to the end of the season 106 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: for every player to maximize their skill and ability, to 107 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: be able to potentially become a greater player, understanding their 108 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: position to a level where they collectively become a better offense, defense, 109 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: special teams player. And as a farmer, you have to 110 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: know the soil. You have to know the nutrients, the 111 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: nitrogen levels, all the different things that matter to allow 112 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 1: that seed. That seed has so much potential, but if 113 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: it's not put in the right soil, given the right 114 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: amount of water, nurture, shade, sun if it isn't given 115 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: the right tools, which Andy Reid is a master at. 116 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: He knows how to push in pool, he knows when 117 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: to motivate, He knows in the back off the team, 118 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: he has his thumb on the temperature and understands the mood, 119 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: the attitude of the entire team. To get the most potential, 120 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: the most performance, to get them to perform at the 121 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: highest level possible each and every Sunday during the year. 122 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: That is why he is the farmer. And he's always 123 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: doing something with a new wrinkle, looking, always researching and developing. 124 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: And let's take that first. That even the shovel passed 125 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: to Kelsey and against Buffalo in the AFC Championship game. 126 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: I mentioned on the air, that's a new wrinkle. They 127 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: blocked it different, they made it look different. They're not 128 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: setting her here's a tendency shovel. No, it's something entirely different. 129 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: And he's always looking for that. I mean, going into 130 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five. I know we just played Tampa 131 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: at the end of November and the Buccaneers are thinking 132 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: they can do this in this but shop in eight years. 133 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: I can't tell you down a distance or personnel what 134 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: he's gonna do. I can't tell. And I do this, 135 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: I'm broadcasting this team. He's always looking for cutting edge 136 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: stuff and he's going down to Tampa with two satchels 137 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: full of stuff, and much of it he hasn't even 138 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: shown yet. It's because it's the seeds. It's all He's planted, 139 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: these seeds and it's gonna be time at Super Bowl 140 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: fifty five to harvest. He's going to harvest all these 141 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: different plays and all these different formations and shifts that 142 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: he's been planning these seeds all season long. And as 143 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator, you're looking. You have no idea what, where, 144 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: how he's going to attack you, what he's going to emphasize, 145 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: what's going to be the set. And he has such 146 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: an extensive playbook of plays ways and the skill level players, 147 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: the amount of players, the Pringle, the Dee Robinson, the 148 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: Miko Harman, the Cheetah, the Zeus, the Cloud of Lair, 149 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: Levion Bell Williams. I mean that's eight d that's eight 150 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: different players that can attack you at different places. And 151 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't think even named Sammy Watkins. Eight or nine 152 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: different players that all can be game breakers, all can 153 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: break your back in some form fashion on Super Bowl Sunday, 154 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: and you have no idea which of those nine players 155 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna use to attack you. I want to ask you, 156 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: let's put you on the other side of this for 157 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: a second, because you played linebacker in this league. When 158 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: I went back, I've watched these videos of these games. 159 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo's got good linebackers. The Edmunds kids really good. We 160 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: know about Matt Milano. I like Cleveland's son, Taki Takie. 161 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: I like him. Dude. How much pressure is there on 162 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: these guys? I watch them in their heads spinning and 163 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: they're looking and they're I mean, it is so hard 164 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: to play the Chiefs if you're a linebacker, is it not? 165 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: Eighty percent of the snaps shifts and motions, that's all 166 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 1: you gotta say? Eighty every other snap you're seeing tight right, No, 167 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: it's tight left shift motion, Hey, passing strength going with Cheetah, 168 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: the back end is going to rotate. Well, if it's 169 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: nat Cheetah and it's Micole Hartman, are we still rotating? 170 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: Are we going? Man? Are we gonna bump and end 171 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: up having a safety or a linebacker on Mcole Hartman? 172 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: Or do we just totally take those guys out there 173 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: the board? Do we do we lock up? Or do 174 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: we play banjo in it? So many different techniques you 175 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: have to work out, and the whole thing is the disguise, 176 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: the way we shift in motion. It puts so much pressure, 177 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: like you say, on the signal callers, on those defensive 178 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: linebackers because at the beginning of the play. As a linebacker, 179 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: you have a home gap. I'm an a gap or 180 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: B gap linebacker. I'm sitting in my gap when you shift, well, 181 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: now we have to move the front. That puts me 182 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: in a different gap. You go motion. Now we got 183 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: a bump. It puts me in a different gap. Every 184 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: time I moved to a different gap, my eyes are 185 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: on different targets. So I've gone from being targeted on 186 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: the center, now to the guard, now back to the center, 187 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: now on the back and quarterback, all before the ball 188 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: is even snapped. And I still have to figure out 189 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: the blocking scheme and then actually go make a tackle 190 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: on a very elusive running back. This is it's almost 191 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: it's just so. The nuances of this offense puts defensive 192 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: linebackers in such a stressful position. Man, I can't believe 193 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: the guys aren't growing gray hairs during the game, trying 194 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: to prepare and execute when it comes and facing the 195 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: Chief's offense. And then these guys get frustrated and they 196 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: just lose it. Like I've seen it in the fourth quarter. 197 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: They're just so flipped out, like they like, I guess 198 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: I'll just start punching dudes. I mean it's it's really 199 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: crazy to see it, all right. Andy Reid actually addressed 200 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: this earlier in the week, and he made an analogy 201 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: of the work in the National Football League and for 202 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: players is very much like the work of a farmer. Listen, 203 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean we got room to get better. I mean 204 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: we can improve. We had a couple of things that 205 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: went a little hey wacky today, but we stayed on 206 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 1: course and we did a lot of good things. So 207 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: we did more good things and bad things. But this 208 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: is this job is a little bit like and I'm 209 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: talking about players and coaches like being a farmer, and 210 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: the work's never done. You can always work to get 211 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: better and as a as a team. So that's what 212 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: we're going to do here. The next couple of weeks. 213 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,959 Speaker 1: We're playing a heck of a heck of a football 214 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: team in the Buccaneers. So there you go. In another 215 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: part of Big Red the Farmer, it segues into our 216 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: next portion is he never blinks or flinches. I remember 217 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: having the biggest, best crop, thinking this is going to 218 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: be awesome, and a hailstorm wipes it out by five 219 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: o'clock and you're just sitting there staring at it, like 220 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: what just happened, and my dad was awesome. It looks 221 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: like you're dad, but it was like, just don't break, 222 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: don't blink, don't flinch, like those great families in Nicodemus 223 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: in Graham County that were given an opportunity as freed 224 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: black men and women to farm and to flourish. And 225 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: they did, but it was never easy. But anyway, they 226 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: still have a celebration out there. I'm going to hit 227 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: one of these days in Nicodemus, Kansa. Let's make sure 228 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: you go there, all right. Second part, Big Red the Father? 229 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: Why do the Chiefs have a chance, a great chance 230 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: to win Super Bowl fifty five. We know about the 231 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: talent on this team, but to me, Big Red ready 232 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: is the biggest reason, and Big Red the Father comes 233 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: into play here. You and I have talked about this 234 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: for months and months and months. We keep bringing it up. 235 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: One of the most watched episodes was winning three Divisions. 236 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: If people are like, what's what are they talking about? 237 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: But we said, winning the a C West, winning the 238 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: AFC to get to buy and then also the COVID Division. 239 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: But the discipline that's been required this year shop has 240 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: been off the chart. It has been if they don't 241 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: have it, We're not here right now. And Andy Reid 242 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: has had to be the father, the loving father, but 243 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: has a discipline set up where he loves his kids, 244 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: but stay within our discipline and boundaries otherwise this train 245 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: could wreck. Yeah, I think is every parent can kind 246 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: of relate to in the face of turmoil, in the 247 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: face of um you know, things not going according to plan, 248 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: how you planned and how you expected to go into 249 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: and especially in this pandemic era, things are you know, 250 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: you get you get a COVID positive at school, one 251 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: of your sons or daughters at basketball, at practice, a 252 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: friend ends up positive and now the whole family has 253 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: to shut down. What does that do about your travel, 254 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: other plans, It changes, everything gets flipped up. Remaining flexible, 255 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: but also having an enough perseverance, enough trust, enough understanding 256 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: and belief and believe in the direction you're going as 257 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: a family, as a team, as an organization that everybody 258 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: understands the price of sacrifice. You're sacrificing your freedom, You're 259 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: sacrificing your ability to go out with everybody else, enjoy 260 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: yourself with your friends, because we have to remain as 261 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: a team COVID free to give us the best opportunity 262 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: to perform on Sunday each and every week. We can't 263 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: go out to the normal state restaurants and have fun. 264 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: We can't go out and enjoy Christmas, Thanksgiving, how many? 265 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: How many family holidays? This team sacrifice not being around 266 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: their loved ones in order for them to be here 267 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: at this moment, at this time, with as many opportunities 268 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: they had to stay COVID free, healthy and being able 269 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: to go play and challenge the now Tampa Bay Buccaneers 270 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: for a world champion. This team has remained dedicated to 271 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: a process, to a cause which everybody he agreed at 272 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: day one, we're all want to sacrifice, can take whatever 273 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: means necessary to be as prepared, but each moment of 274 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: every game, in every situation. And Andy Reid has done 275 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: a great job being that fatherly figure that understands how, 276 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: when and why and what to expect of his entire organization. 277 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: I think it was it was a guy named Josh 278 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: McDowell that said one's truth without relationship leads to rebellion. 279 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: And Andy Reid has been and we know this how 280 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: he builds relationships. He talks about you have to be 281 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: he and I've talked about this personally, he talks about 282 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: it publicly. You've got to be truthful. You've got to 283 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: be upfront with guys coaches down the line. You can't 284 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: You've just got to be there, and that helps him 285 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: build a relationship. So to your point, the truth without 286 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: relationship leads to rebellion. Guys have had to stay discipline. 287 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: But here's what's interesting, and what I've noticed about this 288 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: team is that that it's almost created an additional bond 289 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: that would not be there normal. Last year, I mentioned 290 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: several times that the team won Super Bowl fifty four 291 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: because they were incredibly hyper focused. They had a great 292 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: team working, unselfishness, and they're resilient. This twenty twenty team 293 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: has all of those same attributes, plus being disciplined in 294 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: the COVID environment. And have you sense it's almost created 295 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: this additional link to brotherhood among this team, and Andy 296 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: Reid is manifested that. And that's what I think they're 297 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: taking there. I mean, maybe Tampa Bay's got it, but 298 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: I know Kansas City's got But we know we have 299 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,479 Speaker 1: here in Kansas City. And you talk about the resilience 300 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: of a team to work together and to become even closer. 301 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: If there's any example about that, it's on the field. 302 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: When you look at our defense. Defense throughout the year, 303 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: committed to a process, committed to learning. Each week, we're 304 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna focus on a different phase of this defense. 305 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: We're not gonna worry about the national media. We're not 306 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: gonna worry about the rankings. Statistically where we are thirty 307 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: second in the rand zone. Okay, you can't win in 308 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs against a good team being thirty second in 309 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: the red zone. When you're about to face the Browns 310 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: that are number three or the Bills that are number one, 311 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't match up. That's gonna be a weakness. They're 312 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: gonna be exploited. None of that matters because during the year, 313 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 1: this defense works on a different phase, a different page, 314 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: a different technique each and every week, so that when 315 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: the end of the season come along, they can put 316 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: all those pieces together, and then when it's time for 317 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: them to perform like a top or the top defense 318 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: in the league, they're able to shut down any and 319 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: every opponent's offense that steps up on that given day. 320 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 1: And that's something I think that Bard's head last year 321 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,640 Speaker 1: after week twelve after that Titans game, and this year 322 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: going into the playoffs after having a week off to 323 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: put all of these pieces together. Our defense that everybody 324 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: says was ranked thirty second in the league in the 325 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,120 Speaker 1: red zone. You talk about how many opportunities the Bill's hand, 326 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: I think nine opportunities in the red zone come away 327 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: with six points. That is not the thirty second team 328 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: by far. That is a team playing off of what 329 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 1: they know they have. And that's comes from Andy Reid 330 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: as a father. Allowing that team to go through some struggles. 331 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: Don't allow them to abandon the process and just well, 332 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: let's win this week. Let's do what we gotta do. 333 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: Let's give a B and C go to Z and 334 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: just abandon what we're doing so we can win this week. 335 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: Stick to the process. The process is always grant greater 336 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: than any one product, any one week. And we saw 337 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 1: that too with the situation with McCole Hardman. He must 338 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: upon at the three. Now, my dad would grid his 339 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: teeth and I do super stupid stuff. You know, I 340 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: did stupid stuff, but in a loving way. He and 341 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: I'm sure like Smoke Barber did two And my mom 342 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: and your mom would come back and go, We're gonna 343 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna put you back on the horse to ride. 344 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 1: We're gonna give you something here, so Andy Reid and 345 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: we saw that too in the NFL films having a 346 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: mic dep I mean, here came Mahomes, Here came Kelsey, 347 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: Here came coach Lou you know, all coming up to 348 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: encourage mcole Hardman. But Andy Reid said, no, you know what, 349 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: We're going to run you a wide receiver screen at 350 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: the goal line. I trust you to catch it and 351 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: get in there. I'm going to run you on a 352 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: fifty one yard end a round because he knew that 353 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: they needed mcole Hardman. To me, it was big Red 354 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: the father, discipline within an environment, not overdoing it right, 355 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: not being the jerk dad. This has been the loving dad, 356 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,719 Speaker 1: but saying you stay within these parameters and even if 357 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: you goof up, I'm going to give you another chance 358 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: and another chance because I care for you and because 359 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: we need you. The best families. To me, shop have that. 360 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: This Chief's team is a family with a big red 361 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: father man. We have that, and we have in spades. 362 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: We have we have so much leadership throughout the ranks 363 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: of guys willing to accept mistakes. As long as you're 364 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: working hard, you're working fast, you're trying, you're showing great effort. 365 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 1: You will never get any leader on his team to 366 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 1: even blink. That is the thing. They realize. Great effort 367 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: sometimes causes mistakes to happen. But you're trying, You're doing 368 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: what you're coach to do, trying your best to make 369 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: a play. As Mahomes would say over and over again, 370 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: we are who we are. All we gotta do is 371 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: be ourselves. He understands, he's seen so much from of 372 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: all the other teams. As long as we be who 373 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: we are, beat beat beat, just be in ourselves. No 374 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: superman cakes, nobody playing outside of their realms. Understanding your position, 375 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: what you bring to every play, and then showing great 376 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: effort attitude to finish the play. That is all anybody 377 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: in this organization ask from each and one of our players. 378 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: And when they show that, no matter if they make 379 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 1: a mistake or not, the first people are gonna come 380 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: to you as those same leaders. Pick your head ups early, 381 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: got a lot of ball left to play. Come on, 382 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: we call, you're gonna be there for us. We're gonna 383 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: put you right back out there like you said on 384 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: that horse, put the ball right back in your hands 385 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: and let great things show. A year ago, at this time, 386 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: we said we could see the summit from here. We 387 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: talked about planting that flag at the top of the summit. 388 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: Now the Chiefs have can see a second mountain peak 389 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: and they're is looking at it. But Andy Reid was asked, 390 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: why why is this team here? Where are they back 391 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 1: where they have a shot to run it back? And 392 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: he talked about everything they've gone through and echoed, because 393 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: it's not Father's Day until June. The Chiefs win February 394 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: seventh might be Father's Day. Yeah, Well, I just think 395 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 1: the ability that I'm gonna come back to Brett here 396 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: real quick on this, but for him to be able 397 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: to sign back the players that he's signed back, to 398 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: keep the team as whole as he possibly could, easier 399 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: said than done there. But I think that continuity between 400 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: the players and the coaches has been a positive up 401 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: to this point. So and that we all kind of 402 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: know what needs to be done to get to get here, 403 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 1: and everybody just did it. And then I think listen 404 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: to the fact that guys did their best to try 405 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: to stay healthy. There had to be a certain dedication 406 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: of that. So we didn't have a whole position miss 407 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: the game or that. So, I mean things were going 408 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: to happen. We knew that, and it was just a 409 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: matter of standing as disciplined as you possibly could, but 410 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: still having your family and wife significant other that has 411 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: a life to live, so then you kind of work 412 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: through that. So but these guys I thought, did a 413 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: nice job that not if they did, if they were infected, 414 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: that it didn't spread over to the remaining part of 415 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,959 Speaker 1: the team. All right, why are the Chiefs going to win? 416 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: In our opinion, Big Red ready, Andy Reid, Big Red 417 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: the Farmer, Big Red the Father. Now we're going to 418 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: get into Big Red the Fighter. Do not underestimate Andy 419 00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: Reid's toughness. He's coming after you like a pull lineman 420 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: leading down the field from a coole hardman on the 421 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: fifty one yard end around. Andy Reid fights and he 422 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: is ready to fight to win Super Bowl fifty five. 423 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: This dude, Do not estimate his toughness. He's This team 424 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: has faced a double load of cannister from everybody they played, 425 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: and they just have been beating them off with the 426 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: stick sands. The Raiders game and then that JV game 427 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: in week seventeen. Andy Reid will get you. He will 428 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: take you down, and he will pin you to the mat. 429 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: He'll help you up and take you back down again. 430 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: Do not underestimate Andy. Read the competitor, and Andy read 431 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: the fighter man. When you speak to a fighter. The 432 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 1: first thought that jumps in my mind is that Mike 433 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: Tyson quote. Everybody has a plan until the first time 434 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: you hit him in the mouth. And that's the one 435 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: thing Andy Reid loves to do. Come out swinging guns, 436 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: a blazing, starting fast and finishing strong. It doesn't matter 437 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: if it is the first kickoff or coming out a halftime. 438 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna get our offense trying to go eighty yards 439 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: whatever needed, scoring touchdowns. We believe every driving you heard 440 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: coach me enemy says a few times, every play in 441 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: our offense is designed to score. And that has been 442 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: chopped up in national media. They are you can't exploit 443 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: the score. No, every play is designed with great effort 444 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: and understanding your blocking scheme. You should have potentially the 445 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: potential score every play. Why would you call any play 446 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: that didn't actually have an expectation of scoring the touchdown? 447 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: And that's what you see from the Chiefs. That's why 448 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: they put so much pressure on the opposing's defense. It's 449 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: because if you do not execute on the defensive side, 450 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,160 Speaker 1: it can be eighty eight out the gate. We seen 451 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: Cheater run a slant catch it that five yards go 452 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,439 Speaker 1: seventy one. We talked about McCole Hartman on an end 453 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: of round fifty some yards. We talk about the consistency 454 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 1: the body blows, body blows, body blows, with Kelsey catching 455 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: the ball for first downs, first downs, first downs, and 456 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: then touchdowns. The efficiency that this team offensively just continues 457 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: to beat at you, beat at you, beat at you. 458 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 1: It breaks you down defensively until you really want want 459 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: to give up, and so going. We talk about Andy 460 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 1: reat the fighter, that fighter's mentality, always getting up. It 461 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of one rocky bald Bola. You 462 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: know how he does He come on, give me some more? 463 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: Is that all you got? Can tell us? The twelfth round? 464 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: And then he headshot head shot until you're out with 465 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: the count. And this offensive line to me is and 466 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: we know that with fish going down and tough for fish, 467 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: but that group now has been clawed and scratching and 468 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: digging and fighting. Nick Allaghretty came out of nowhere a 469 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: low round draft picks. He's grown up in front of 470 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: our eyes. Ramers had to move right tackle. Left tackle. 471 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: We've seen while they have to move out to right tackle. 472 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: We know how this wiz Newski is coaching us. Talks 473 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: about dirty tough, dirty tough all the time, but I've 474 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: seen it too. On defense. There is a toughness to 475 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: this team, whether it's dirty Dan Sorensen or even Tono 476 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 1: at times, or at alex okafor hit Man Hitchens in 477 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: there playing the mike backer. I mean, there's a toughness 478 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: to this team. And to me, that's an underrated part 479 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: of this team because it doesn't look like that, but 480 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: they are. And it's really the way. Andy Reid is 481 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: nice guy. He's gonna be nice. If he's gonna pin 482 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: you to the matter wants to get in a wrestling term, 483 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: a technical decision, he'll let you up and take you 484 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: down again. Do not underestimate and he read the fighter. 485 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: But I've seen it on both sides of the ball, 486 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: and this offensive line is gonna have to do it. 487 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: We'll get into this next week, more into the guts 488 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: of the game, but this offensive line is a little 489 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: bit of a personification of Andy Reid's toughness. Man, if 490 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: you listen to Kingdom Shorts, you hear honey Badgers say 491 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: one quote that rings in my ear over and over. 492 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: If it was hard, if somebody told you it's hard, 493 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: are you still willing to do it? And that's something 494 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: I think each position room, every player on his team 495 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: was challenged. You're not just a right guard, left tackle. 496 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: You're not just a center. Everybody on that old line 497 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: plays multiple spots. You never know who's going down or 498 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: who's going to have to move out to what position. 499 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: And you can't blink. You can't, you can't, Okay, this 500 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: is not my best. No. Collectively, you gotta get it done. 501 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: Why I receive. You are not an X, you ain't 502 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: a why, you ain't a Z. You're a wide receiver. 503 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: If they put you in the game, you have to 504 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: know all three four positions how to run them be effective. 505 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: Finish debate on defense, You're a dB, no corners, no safeties, 506 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: and Spagnola's defense. Anybody can come from any direction and 507 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: you still have to know your leverage, where you're health is, 508 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: where your fits are, whereas all your passing progression goes, 509 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: so the amount of pressure this team puts on each other. 510 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: If you're a linebacker, d line any position, you have 511 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: to learn all the positions of your group. That is 512 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: asking more, that is sacrificing yourself for the greater good 513 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: of the team, because you know when somebody goes down 514 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: it might be your opportunity to step up and be 515 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: that mic linebacker. You got to make the call and 516 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,160 Speaker 1: you can't blink, you can't flinch. And that's why Andy 517 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: Reid is a fighter. You talked about Rocky he had 518 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: to take on clever Land, He had to take on 519 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: a big Russian drago guy. Right in real life, Muhammad 520 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: Ala took on all commerce Man even got beat but 521 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: Joe Frazier beat him, but then he came back. Or 522 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: a case of Floyd Mayweather, Bring them on, Bring them on. 523 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: For Andy Reid. He mentioned it this week, and it's 524 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: not an arrogant statement. It's just a statement that we've 525 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: talked about for months. You get the best shot from 526 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: everyone else. We persevered through some tough games and so 527 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: the mental toughness to do that individually each week. UM, 528 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: what was important, UH, knowing that you're going to get 529 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: people's best shot. And so there's that respect fact. I 530 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: didn't feel as much fatigue to it as just you 531 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: can you can allow yourself to follow the other way 532 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: and to start questioning and that, and the guys never 533 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: did that. They didn't question each other, they didn't question 534 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: the coaches. I stayed focused and delivered and so um 535 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: where however that falls in. So I'm not sure how 536 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: to categorize that, but i just think that that that 537 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: might have been the biggest challenge. I mean, you've seen 538 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: that with teams when things aren't going right, they just 539 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: kind of fall apart there. And our guys have not 540 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: done that. They've all stuck together and trusted. So there 541 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: you go. Big Red ready means big Red the farmer, 542 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: big Red the father, Big Red the fighter. It's why 543 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: he'll be in the Hall of Fame and why the 544 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs have a chance to be the first 545 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: team in sixteen seasons to be back to back Super 546 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Bowl champions. They are making history every time they go 547 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: on the field. But Andy Reid, the characteristics that he 548 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: brings to this team, to me, gives them the best 549 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: shot to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Andy Read is 550 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: a special, special individual. He set a vision and a 551 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: process of how to be a championship team. No guarantees. 552 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: There are no guarantees in football. You can't guarantee Super Bowls, 553 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: you can't guarantee AFC championships. The only thing you can 554 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: guarantee is the opportunity, the opportunity to go out there 555 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: and give it your best show, great effort, and what 556 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: Andy retails. Those guys, let your personality show. And our 557 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: team has had more personality any team in an NFL 558 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: and we're going to showcase that on Super Bowl Sunday. 559 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: He's Shane Barbar tenure NFL veteran. I'm Michels. We both 560 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 1: have the bows, have seven hundred headphones on great Valentine's 561 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: Gift idea and a great gift idea to celebrate a 562 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,479 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty five championship. Next week, we're gonna get 563 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: more into the guts of this game and look deeper 564 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: into the bucks and get at more x's and ohs. 565 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: But this time, hey, get ready, because Big Red will 566 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 1: be ready.
