I'm put it 55 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: out there just because it was. It's a point here. 56 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: Mississippi Mississippi State Thursday Night Egg Bowl, intense rivalry. Mississippi 57 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: gets an incredible rally to score it four seconds to 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: go in regulation and a kid does a gesture in 59 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: the end zone down on all four is acting like 60 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: he's urinating like a dog. I'm sure to show up 61 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: Mississippi State Bulldogs boom penalty, flag, back it up fifteen yards, 62 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: the dude misses the point after and they lose the game. 63 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: You have played in rivalries high school, college, and then 64 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: you start you broke your I mean you got you 65 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: were weaned in this league, in the NFC East, meaning 66 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: that's the Redskins, Cowboys, Redskins, Eagles, Redskins Giants. Yeah, playing 67 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: with composure, with the intensity of a rivalry, to me, 68 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: it's a huge key. And it's determined Chiefs Raiders games 69 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: in the past, who can play with intensity and yet 70 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: keep the composure and stay away from the stupid penalty 71 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: that can cost you a game. Yeah, it's just I mean, 72 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: the coaching staff. It kind of starts there. And if 73 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: there's a coaching staff, if all you talk about is 74 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: they hate us, we hate them, rivalry, and then you 75 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: know the rival between the Raiders and the Chiefs, it 76 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: is bigger than football, is bigger than like then you 77 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: you allow the Gays get caught up in that. The 78 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: one thing I know about Andy is each game matters, right, 79 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: He cares about the games. You can if you want 80 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: to know which games matters to him, you just look 81 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: at the practice schedule, look at how he sets up 82 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: offseason workouts, training camp. There are certain teams, obviously our division, 83 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: those teams that we practice a little bit more about 84 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit more preparing for him. 85 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: We might do a little install for you know, you 86 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: have an Oakland install, you have a Denver installed, and 87 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 1: a Charger install a week when you're not even playing 88 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: those guys, because he realized we played those games twice. 89 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: We play those teams twice each season, and and those 90 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: are the teams you have to beat to make us 91 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: the playoff. If you want to direct route to the playoffs, 92 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: be winning your divis It's the first and foremost way 93 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: to the way to get there. Um, you want to 94 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: win some home games, be tough on the road, play 95 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: play good football, you know, especially at the end of 96 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: the year, in the fourth quarter of the season, I 97 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: mean those last four weeks. But really, if you can 98 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: dominate your division, which Andy has done almost historically over 99 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: the last four or five years, if you can dominate 100 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: your your your division, that is a way to almost 101 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: guarantee you haven't shout at the playoffs each year. Yeah, 102 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: that's the first box to check. We're gonna get to 103 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: more of that of the fourth quarter of this podcast, 104 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: So you know, hang with us all the way through here. 105 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: We're gonna get to more of that in the fourth 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: quarter about how Andy Reider approaches the Oakland Raider rivalry 107 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit different than let's say, I'm Alrty 108 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: Schottenheimer in the past or some others, but still with 109 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: the same intended result. But this rivalry in specific, the 110 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: Raiders Chief rivalry going back to nineteen sixty the AFL 111 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs dominated early on. Then oh my gosh, those games 112 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: in the These are some of the most iconic games 113 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: in pro football history, the last AFL game of all time. 114 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: You're involved with the Ambassadors, you know, you're getting discussions 115 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: even just you know, setting over a cold one or 116 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: having dinner and those games come up. They were incredible 117 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: games and some again you'll see them on NFL films. 118 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: But the fact that the Raiders and Chiefs, the level 119 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: of play, it's something you've always talked about too. If 120 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: you're gonna have a rivalry, one team just can't dominate 121 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: or doesn't feel like a rivalry. Yeah, it has to 122 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: have that pendulum of performance go back and forth. Right, 123 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: the Raiders playing really good fighting for the divisional dominance, 124 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs play really well. Then the Broncos 125 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: come in and play very well. The Charges had had 126 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: a couple of years where they were you know, that 127 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: fourteen and two season always jumps up at you. So 128 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: whoever is the alpha dog in the division kind of 129 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: passes around and it makes the other teams realize, Hey, 130 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: if I don't want to get as we call it, 131 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: thumped on, if I don't want to get thrown about 132 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: the bar when the division, when this season come away, 133 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: I gotta, you know, pick my game up, and if 134 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: there's any game, you got to pick it up and 135 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: be ready to roll, because you know the other team 136 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: has a little bit of a little bit of just 137 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: a little a little softness. They got a little bit 138 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: of an extra edge on there on that shoulder when 139 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: it comes to playing you, it's these divisional games. Um, 140 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: I you know, played played here with the Chiefs three 141 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: seasons and every time I lined up against the Raiders 142 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: it was a dog fight. It came down to the 143 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: last possession. Um, you know, defense we needed to stop, 144 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: or the offense we needed one more first day on 145 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: or you know, a field go at the end of 146 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: the game. It didn't matter what our records were going 147 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: into the season, going into that, that we could playing 148 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: that that that team during uh during during that game, um, 149 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: you just you just you found a way to get 150 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: it done. It didn't matter up the starting quarterback, backup quarterback. 151 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: It almost like nothing mattered m until it was time 152 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 1: to kick off. And then once it was time to 153 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: kick off. He has so much intensity, emotion, uh passion. Um. 154 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: You could feel the crowd and the fans um trying 155 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: to egging you on because you know, you don't want 156 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: to walk around this city and have Raiders fans telling 157 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: your Chiefs fans, we got the best of you. Uh 158 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: you know we we we we won that game on Sunday. 159 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: Whatever it is. So a lot of the intensities beyond 160 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: just then actual on the field, it's it's it's culturally 161 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: in here in the Kingdom. We don't we don't want 162 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: any Raiders fans walking around here thinking that they the best, 163 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: they got the best of us. Um, even if they 164 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: don't win the division, we don't want them coming back 165 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: to week uh week thirteen. Uh, we came in and 166 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: beat at your house and that kind of top. So 167 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta you do as a player, have 168 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: an air a little a little bit, a little bit 169 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: of an edge on your shoulder when it comes to these, uh, 170 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: these rivalry games. Yeah, and trying to keep this rolling. 171 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: Nine out of ten times the Chiefs have beaten them Raiders, 172 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: so they'll try to keep it rolling. But going back 173 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: into history, you think about Len Dawson getting spared by 174 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: Ben Davidson, Another's Taylor coming up trying to protect this quarterback. 175 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: You think about, uh, the Raiders getting the best to 176 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in nineteen sixty eight and sixty nine, and 177 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: the regular season, the Raiders had two regular season wins. 178 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: The Chiefs got the one that counted the most, the 179 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: last AFL game played of all time, that set up 180 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs winning in Super Bowl four. So Chiefs Raiders 181 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: rivalry history. And now we go to twenty nineteen as 182 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: we enter the second quarter of our defending the Kingdom. 183 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: It's Raiders Week, Baby podcast, and we get into this 184 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: specific game, this specific rematch Chiefs one twenty eight to 185 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: ten in Week two that seems like one hundred years ago. 186 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: But the Chiefs defense dealing with the triangle. It's one 187 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: thing I'm gonna talk about with Andy Reidon our pregame 188 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: show and the radio of people who listen to that, 189 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: and that is the triangle. The Raiders, to me have 190 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: a really good triangle that in Derek Carr, the runner, 191 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs who's making an impact out of rookie out 192 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: of Alabama, and then a tight end Darren Waller who's 193 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: sitting with fifty nine catches and seven hundred yards. That 194 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: triangle a runner, a mismatch tight end, and a quarterback 195 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: who leads the NFL right now in third down passer 196 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: rating presents an issue. Yeah, Derek Carr has been a 197 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: guy thing. He's been thrown kind of under the bus, 198 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: like waits often for something, most of time not even 199 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: under his control. But if you go back and look 200 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: at his stats weekend and week out, if you want 201 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: a quarterback that can throw the ball for two seventy 202 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: five two touchdowns in the pick and that's the gage 203 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: you're using of a good outing, then more times and 204 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: not he'll give you that. It's just late. You know, 205 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: some games they're they're too far out of it and 206 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: he's being forced to pass um more than he's comfortable 207 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: or forced to kind of put the team on his 208 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: shoulder and make plays when it's not there. Uh. And 209 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: then he just hasn't rolled to those occasions late, you know, 210 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,319 Speaker 1: often in his career. But if I looked at you know, 211 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: like I said, this season is a whole I think 212 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: he had. He's had really two bad games of the 213 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: eleven ball games they played, So that mean that's not 214 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: really a bad clicking. Like you said, his third dawn 215 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: of Fishy is phenomenal. It's just that, you know, in 216 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: those normal days in the first and second downs, they're 217 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: not getting enough chunk plays uh to set them up 218 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: for manageable third downs. But he's been found in a 219 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: way to steal uh, step up and show them he 220 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 1: has the leadership abilities, he has the moxie to be 221 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: a quarterback. He's always had the armed talent, um, and 222 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: now they're just surrounding him with a few weapons. Um. 223 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, drafting Jacobs U with the with the first 224 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: with their first round pickers running back, you knew he 225 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: was gonna get some action early on, and he showed 226 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: to be um, you know, proven and tested being a 227 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: good running back in the league. And then the Darren 228 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: Waller heare, man, he's kind of he's fought through some things. 229 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: He's battled some some issues, some demons, but he's kind 230 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: of he's put his passion in his purpose in the 231 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: right place and he's come out this season and he's 232 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: focused on actually being a difference maker and being there 233 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: for his quarterback. UM. And there's almost no situation where 234 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: Derek car should feel bad throwing it up to him, 235 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: because that guy's been able to make some fantastic grabs 236 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: whenever needed. And he can play in the slot. He'll 237 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: play an acts and so he's he's a He's like Kelsey. 238 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: He can move around and play every receiver slot and 239 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 1: run every receiver route. UH. Car though, is sick of 240 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: answering about losing at Arrowhead. He's owe five at Arrowhead. Uh. 241 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: If you look at his season this year, going back 242 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: to the third down prowess, he's got fifteen touchdowns and 243 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: six picks on third down. Derek Carr has eleven touchdowns 244 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: of his fifteen on third down and only one interception, 245 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: and his passer rating is the best in the league 246 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 1: on third down in the NFL. But at Arrowhead, wow 247 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: oh and five. Only three touchdowns in those five games, 248 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: passing five interceptions, here's the other big deal. He has 249 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 1: been sacked nine times in the last three games at Arrowhead, 250 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: three in each game, and it's just been a nightmare 251 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: for him here. He's sick of talking about it. I 252 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: keep asking him about it. But a chance of trying 253 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: to pressure him and try to get him into some 254 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: mistakes and to gate the triangle that the Raiders bring 255 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: into this game. Yeah, we definitely have to have an 256 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: air of starting fast on defense, bringing that pressure, having 257 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: out front four be relentless getting him seeing like as 258 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: we heard Donald saying a few weeks ago, seeing ghosts 259 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: feeling pressure even when it's not. They're feeling the need 260 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: to step up without the pocket, even when in the 261 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: pocket that still has an integrity, and that points to 262 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: their weakness. I mean the weakness of their team on offense. 263 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Is there often blunt Um, They don't. They don't have 264 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: heavy anchors, they don't they don't set really uh solid 265 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: pockets for him to be in. So he's always on 266 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: the move. He is, he always has to keep his 267 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 1: feet dancing. Um. But he's a young mobile quarterback. He 268 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: can make all the throws on the run. Um. So 269 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: you just have to be aware of that. Play being 270 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: extended and then holding your coverage throughout the damn whether 271 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: it's three, four or five seconds, throughout the damn, holding 272 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: onto the integrity of your coverage and allow those those 273 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: those guys trying to pursue a car to get there. Um. 274 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: And I think our off our defensive line is gonna 275 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: do a great job against their front five. Hey, they 276 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: got a guy who used to be here, right, this 277 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: center used to be here, and we know that the 278 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: one thing he doesn't have is he doesn't have a 279 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: heavy anchor. He doesn't like to lift low about it. 280 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 1: He's not a guy who's, uh, you know, one of 281 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: those fire Hadran type centers. He's kind of lightening in 282 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: the rear. And so if we do some things on 283 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: that guy, um, I think we can get Hutson off 284 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: his off his mark. And you know, when when he 285 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: gets off his mark, he starts playing a little dirty. 286 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: And that's think that's why the raiderslack him, because he 287 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: plays a little dirty. But then that's when we have 288 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: to have that be able to rise above what's going 289 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: on on the field, rise above those dirtiness and those 290 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: cheap shots, and realize we have to win this ball game. 291 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: Focus should be stays on winning the ball game over 292 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: any personal agendas. Yeah. And Rodney Hudson four years with 293 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 1: Kansas City thirty five starts his best. That we're smart too. 294 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: He can move, I mean he can move around screens 295 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: and the like. But you brought up the penalties again 296 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: a Raiders staple. Ninety two penalties this year called against 297 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: the Raiders, accepted against him. There's only three teams that 298 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: have more. You mentioned something though, before we get we 299 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: close in on halftime of this edition of Defending the 300 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: Kingdom podcasts, this one entitled It's Raiders Week, Baby, Okay 301 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: is starting fast on defense. It's something I'm gonna ask 302 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: Andy read about two in our pregame show on Sunday. 303 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: Is that we hear about starting fest? We always think offense. Yeah, offense, 304 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: start fast, start fest, playfest, get the lead, get the lead. 305 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: I think a the Vikings game this year for the Chiefs. 306 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: They started fast in that game, they got the Vikings 307 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: off the field trying to get three and outs, get 308 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: the field flipped right away. If you have to defend 309 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: first possession, and the Chiefs or thirtieth in the league. 310 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: They have allowed now thirty five points. I think on 311 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: first possessions allowed, So starting fast on defense and setting 312 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: the tone where you dictate the terms of the game 313 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: to the Raiders, not the vice versa. Yeah, you know 314 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: it comes from you know play play calling sometimes has 315 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: a lot to dictate that because you don't want to 316 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: be so aggressive. You know, we saw games last night 317 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: right with the Detroit Lions and the the in the 318 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: Bears where it seems like the Bears where it came 319 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: out so excited after they got that lead and they 320 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: end up the first pass Detroit going with a double 321 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: moving going over the top. So you want to prevent 322 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: giving a touchdown away because you're trying to be so 323 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: aggressive and you're starting to start so fast that you're 324 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: not being disciplined. But you definitely don't want to be 325 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: on your heels. You don't want to be um just 326 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: just playing zones, letting the quarterback get comfortable making his 327 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: reads and throws, allowing a running game to get started, 328 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: you know, five six yards to carry on first and 329 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 1: second down. Um, you want to come out with a 330 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: solid intention of really being a stone wall. Um, no 331 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: one you're gonna get up to feel on that first 332 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: three and out. It starts with that first play, right 333 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: that first snap. Um being all over that quarterback, even 334 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: if he gets the ball off, you want to be 335 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: close enough where you can pat him on the butt 336 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: or run by him and yell at him so he knows, hey, 337 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: I'm close to getting to you. Don't don't You're not 338 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: back here. You're not comfortable. You shouldn't feel you shouldn't 339 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: feel any kind of security being back here because I'm humming, 340 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm coming for you. Whether we bring pressure or not. 341 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: That's the kind of atmosphere that in our crowd has 342 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: a lot to do with it. Ye when you bring 343 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: that crowd noise and the ball is hike um. When 344 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: they hear that, that crowd noise heightening and it's kind 345 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: of like a crescindo when they hear everything starting to 346 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: rise and peek. They As a quarterback, you start feeling 347 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: there must be somebody coming close to me. Somebody's almost 348 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: about to get me. The crowd is starting to roar, 349 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: So sometimes that makes you speed up your own clock. 350 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: The one thing we don't want we don't want Derek 351 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: car feeling comfortable here at Arrow here. We want him 352 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: to feel pressured, feel like he has to release the 353 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: ball before he's ready. And defensively, we can do some 354 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: things when it comes to rerouting receivers, being really physical 355 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: against the tight end and running backs, and then being 356 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, being a penetrating defense like we've been, like 357 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: you said, since that Minnesota game, we've been been been 358 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: very good at penetrating the pocket, being gap sound, and 359 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: defending the run and pass equally effective. Oakland second in 360 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: the league average length of scoring drives on the Atlanta 361 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: is better, so they can hang on to the ball 362 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: and that would probably be their recipe in this game. 363 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: All Right, it's halftime of this Defending the Kingdom podcast 364 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: are This is one titled It's Raiders Week.

You gotta man, we gotta get 371 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 1: we have to shoot you up first. Hear of this 372 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: sickness you got or what? But here we go one second? 373 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: There you go? Now it's the third quarter, so you're ready. Yeah, 374 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: I'm ready, bro, you're fighting through it. Man, it's barbershop. 375 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: The next one deals with the other side of the ball, 376 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 1: and that is the Oakland If you're looking at the way, 377 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: how can Oakland win this game? They're defensive line and 378 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: young defensive front, and this is a group something I 379 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: haven't seen very much in football at any level. They're 380 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: twenty six sacks. This defensive front for Oakland has all 381 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: of them, like no linebacker sacks and I can see 382 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: no dB sacks. No send the hey, send the slot 383 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: corner and he gets a sack. It's the front specifically 384 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,959 Speaker 1: due named Max Crosby, a rookie out of Eastern Michigan. 385 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: He's got seven and a half sacks. He's a close 386 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: friend of Andrew Wiley on the Chiefs offensive line. But 387 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: it leads me to start with the offensive line. They 388 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: were looking around the huddle in the game in Mexico Shitty, 389 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: going hey, the bands back together. Now you can see 390 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: parts of that happen in the game against the Chargers 391 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: and the win of Mexico Shitty. But what about having 392 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: some continuity on the offensive line, especially against this young 393 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: defensive in front of Oakland. Yeah, every offensive line it 394 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: comes about trust, communication, right, those two things. Every every effective, 395 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: every elite offensive line in the league, they do a 396 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 1: great job of communicating, uh, pre pre snap adjustments, UM pickups, UM, 397 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: so they can pick up all the d line stunts 398 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: and anything like that. UM. And you know this team, 399 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: you know we we we've played this team before. It's 400 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: that same base Cincinnati UM style of defense. They don't 401 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 1: bring a lot of extra pressure. They don't bring cornerbacks 402 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: and safeties. They let their front four angle and do 403 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: t e stunts and and and shifts and motions UM 404 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: with the backers UM to try to get your count off. 405 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: And then they allowed their front four to try to 406 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: go beat you man on man. UM. They've drafted some 407 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: studs up there. You already mentioned Max Crosby, but also 408 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: um Colin Farrell from Clemson. UM, so they got some 409 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: guys up there they can really go hunt. And we 410 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: know Crossby. I mean he kind of reminds you of 411 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: that Jared Jared Allen type body frame right, long, UM, 412 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: real long arms, create separation, great motor. He's gonna continue 413 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: to come after you, and he's gonna get most of 414 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: his sacks and pressures just off of outworking you. And 415 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: as an old line, that's what you like you do. 416 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean, these uber talented guys just have amazing speed 417 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: off the edge and that kind of thing. Uh, Davon 418 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: Miller's the max. Those type of pass rushers either you 419 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: get either you get them or you don't they I 420 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: mean you take a shot of you, you miss them 421 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: and they get to the sack. But the guys to 422 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: try to outwork you, Um, those are guys you gotta 423 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 1: kind of you know, you bring your lunch pail of lunch, um, 424 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: and you gotta go to work. You gotta really like 425 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: lean on this guy all game. Loan, you gotta try 426 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: to uh just work on him and and and try 427 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: to create a situation where his level of condition and 428 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: gets it's questioned some long drives. Is he gonna tap 429 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: himself out? You want to make this a twelve round 430 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: match against this defensive line because they're young, and they're aggressive, 431 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: Art and Key and all those guys, they're gonna kind 432 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: of try to keep coming, keep coming, keep coming, and 433 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: you gotta just keep fighting as the offensive line is 434 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: keep punching, keep punching. Um. And I'm so glad to 435 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 1: wear at home because you have all the crowd to 436 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 1: see if Red behind you cheering you on, and and 437 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: just keep moving, motivating you. And we just gotta keep 438 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 1: pounding these guys. Um, you know, the weather shouldn't be 439 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: a concern, but we were are supposed to be windy 440 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: and cold. Sometimes that leads more to the ground game. So, um, 441 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: if we gotta just turn this into a ground and 442 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: pound game, all offensive line I think stands up really 443 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: well against their young guys. I think we can move 444 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: that line of scrimmage a few yards in their direction 445 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: and keep our running backs clean. Yeah, and to have 446 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback that can negate the win and the passion game. 447 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is the guy. Oh his his arm is 448 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: so strong. But this this DEFENSI in front of Oakland 449 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: reminds me talking about the history rivalry. To me, they're 450 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of a throwback. Cleland Farrell is one 451 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: of the It reminds me of the throwback raider guys 452 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: of the sixties. And Max Crosby be the same way, 453 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 1: the Ben Davidson types. But they're for real. Now. If 454 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: you get so many times, will you and I'll talk 455 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: about it. I'll talk about one click of time. If 456 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: you just give Patrick Mahomes one click of time, one 457 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 1: thousand one one click, two clicks boom, what can happen. 458 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: Let's just look at this. Oakland is the worst team 459 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: in the league. They have allowed fifty five twenty yard 460 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: passes or more twenty plus passes fifty five. The Chiefs 461 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: have been at the top of that list on the 462 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: offensive side all year long. Now they've slipped a little 463 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: bit through third with forty seven twenty plus passes, but 464 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: they got fifty six total twenty plus plays. The point 465 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: is one more click of time. If there's anything that 466 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: jumped off the tape of me with the Jets game 467 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: and blown out Oakland last week was when either they 468 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: ran a rub in the middle or they hit the 469 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: second level of the third level. It was like over 470 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: like a twelve to fifteen yard play became forty or 471 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: they were just running by them. So if you what 472 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: about attacking second and third level. Even if I run 473 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: to the second level, I can get to the third 474 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: level and create a big play even something that's designed 475 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: not to throw at forty yards down there. Yeah, the 476 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: West Coast offense is amazing at getting the ball into 477 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: the receiver's hands quick get them to the second and 478 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: third level. What you see about the Raiders is there. 479 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: You know, they want to challenge you up front, they 480 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: want to reroute you, but they definitely have never you know, 481 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: they haven't proven this this year. They have the personnel 482 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: they can stay with you through the damn And then 483 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 1: what I say is that when you line up as 484 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 1: a secondary guy, you might have inside leverage and for 485 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: a few steps, for the first five or six steps 486 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: up the route, you're able to remain in that leverage. 487 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: But what I've seen from the Raiders defense is even 488 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: when they got inside leverage and they try to remain 489 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: in that that saying relationship to receiver, the receivers are 490 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: just more athletic than they are. They're able, they have 491 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: more top end speed, they're fast, Uh, they're more elusive. 492 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: So sometimes the jams don't work when you do rubs 493 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: and you do stack releases. Uh, sometimes they get caught 494 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: out of out of position and leaving free runners and 495 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: and free guys throughout the secondary. So giving Pat mahomes 496 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: and just like you said, another little second, half second 497 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: to watch their secondary unfold, it should be very clear, um, 498 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: who's the receiver that that develops him and comes it 499 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: comes to target, and we know Pat has the arm 500 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: that it doesn't take much for him to be able 501 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: to get the ball anywhere to be attacked. You know, 502 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: the three deep zones or the four underneath zones. Um, 503 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: everything is on the table with this guy. And so 504 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: the thing that a secondary like the Raiders that are 505 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: kind of been leading the league at giving up these 506 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: big twenty plus yard plays, not all of them has 507 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 1: been bombs, like you said, It's been slants that people 508 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,920 Speaker 1: have just taken for twenty yards. It's been curl routes 509 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: because of a mistackle that the guys turn up the sideline. Um. So, 510 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: just from a secondary standpoint, and when when I'm talking 511 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 1: about the secondary, sometimes you do include these linebackers in 512 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: Nicol and Dame coverages. They just haven't been very good. 513 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 1: It's staying improper relations to receivers and not only make 514 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: a play on the ball, but then once you even 515 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: catch the ball to be in a proper position to 516 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: bring you down for a tackle. He had illustrate your 517 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: point to Marcus Robinson. His best game of his career 518 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: was Week two against Oakland at seven catch one hundred 519 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: and seventy two yard game for him McCole Hardman a 520 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: little bit of a coming out party for him there 521 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: because he had his first career touchdown on a forty 522 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: three yarder. But to your point, in both of those cases, 523 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: same thing. Either through to the third level, boom, big play, 524 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: hit the second level and just outrun them, which is 525 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: what the Jets did last week. Again, this is are 526 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: defending the Kingdom Thanksgiving. Addition, it's Raiders Week, baby podcast 527 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: to get you ready for this game. Chiems win this game. 528 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: They can get some distance now in the division and 529 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: basically have two game lead with the tiebreaker over the Raiders, 530 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: but just four games to go. That segues in two 531 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: our fourth quarter of this podcast and it deals with 532 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: something we touched on at the beginning of the podcast, 533 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: but that is Gruden versus read here reads a coach 534 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: reads approach. Yes, the Raiders are. It's not just about 535 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 1: Raiders Week, It's about Division football again. Chiefs win this game. 536 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: There will be twenty five and three against the Division 537 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: in the past five years. Andy Reid, when he was 538 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: coaching the Eagles fourteen years with the Eagles won the 539 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,359 Speaker 1: NFC East. You played in that division. He played in 540 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: both these divisions that he wanted eight times. You alluded 541 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: to this at the beginning of the podcast. Andy Reid 542 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 1: spends time all year long, all twelve months, maybe not 543 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: three sixty five on everybody, but he thinks about him. 544 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: The emphasis on winning division games. For Andy Reid, this 545 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: is much about winning the division, beating a division opponent 546 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: as is beating the Raiders. Definitely. I mean, you gotta 547 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 1: you have to look at the division inside. What do 548 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: they do well as a division. If you're in a 549 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 1: division has a bunch of ground game uh grinders, ground 550 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: and pound, and they don't attack the field vertically, then 551 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: then you using your resources to go get a bunch 552 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: of cornerbacks as opposed to run stopping linebackers would be. 553 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: You know you're fighting your You're fighting yourself up here 554 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: right there. Um, So you have to, even from a 555 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: personnel standpoint, you look at your division. You look at 556 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: what things each of these three other teams do well, 557 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: and you have to make sure if there's something you 558 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: do defensively, you have to stop that because you know 559 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: you're gonna see that six times throughout the year of 560 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: your sixteen games. Six of those games against the same 561 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: three teams, then you got to be able to stop 562 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: what they do well. Uh, like a team that's trying 563 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: to defend the kancer. The Chiefs. You know, we have 564 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: an elite quarterback. You know we have an awesome set 565 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: of receivers, an awesome tight end. So for a team 566 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: to not uh have some some draft capital or spend 567 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: some free agent money on corners and safeties and in 568 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: those type of positions, UM, in order to stay UM 569 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: in the ball game with with with the cancer, the 570 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs would would be not And I think that's what 571 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: you've seen over the last UM since Andy Reid has 572 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: got here. UM, there's nobody in our division that really 573 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: matched up well against US. UM from a standpoint of 574 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: having three or four cornerbacks, two safeties, UM edge rushed 575 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: to mix the ball, get out now very everybody. We 576 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: are still the most dominant team as far as skill position. UM. 577 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: When we have all our guys going UM, if you 578 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: match them up against anybody in other vision, it's hard 579 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: for me to say that you don't bet that the 580 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: Chiefs were gonna come out no matter where you play 581 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: home or away. UM. Not even since at the time 582 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have the better personnel, UM up and down 583 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: under roster, and we've done a great Jim bred Beach 584 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: has done a great job of really um tooling up 585 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 1: this twenty nineteen team with a lot of weapons, a 586 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: lot of depth of the wide receiver position, UM using 587 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: being able to use Kelsey as a tight end slash 588 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 1: receiver and spreading them up in the flex position, of 589 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: putting them in the core, U, having them come out 590 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: the bag, backfield, shovel path, all the different ways we've 591 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: been able to use him, and it just adds to 592 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: it the uses of Sammy Watkins and co Hartman. Like 593 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: you said, Robinson, you can't go into a Kansas City 594 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs game thinking you're gonna take away just our best 595 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: are one or two best tools, because then you'll get 596 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: beat by the other three, no question. It's just devastating 597 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: trying to defend this team. Okay, finally, we got about 598 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: a minute a minute or two left in this podcast. 599 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: It deals with something I think this rivalry is a 600 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: gift to the fans. Yes it is. Anytime you're around 601 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: a rivalry, I think it's a gift. I don't care 602 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: if it's the Red Shock, Yankees or whatever. Sport it 603 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: is to have this rivalry in these division rivers. But 604 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: this right radar rivalry for the fans, for the Chiefs kingdom, 605 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a gift. It is. And then as 606 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: a fan of the game, you want your team to 607 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: be a team that's noted and talked about. Yeah, you 608 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: want to win championships, but the worst thing can happen 609 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: is your team wins the Super Bowl one year and 610 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 1: then living for the next ten. You know, I've talked 611 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: to some Giants fans, some Cowboys fans man a decade ago, 612 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: they were winning championships, but their teams aren't really good 613 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,479 Speaker 1: right now.

And the 618 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: fact that we have one of those five teams and 619 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: our team has been dominating our AFC West conference from 620 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: that one, two, not three on the way for a 621 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: fourth consecutive AFC West title.
