1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hello, everyone, Welcome back inside Central Health Training Center for

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: another episode of Broncos Now.

3
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:06,399
Speaker 2: As always in your host is Sidney.

4
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Jones, and coming up on today's episode, we'll hear from

5
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: cornerback Past Sertan and all three coordinators as they look

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: ahead to.

7
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: Face the Chiefs this Sunday.

8
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Plus we'll take a look at today's injury report all

9
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: that more coming out bron because we're on the practice

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: field again today as they continue to prepare to face

11
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Adam Powerfield at Mile High this Sunday. And

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: we heard from offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi today about the

13
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: run game and what he's seen from running back Javonte Williams.

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: We're always hopeful that we can run the ball well.

15
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 3: It helps everything. So yeah, hopefully we can get the

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: ground game going and keep with it and the games

17
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,319
Speaker 3: in a situation where we can do that. So it's

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 3: always always a goal every week. I feel like I'm

19
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: seeing a really good running back. So, I mean he's

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: been productive and running hard, and so yeah, I think

21
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: we have I think he's I think he's feeling confident

22
00:00:59,200 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: and healthy.

23
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: Also asked about the Chiefs defense and what's made them

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: such a dominant unit.

25
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 3: This season, they've been as successful or you know, statistically,

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: as they've ever been. You know, I had some experience.

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: Steve was in New Orleans in twenty twelve, and it's

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 3: always a stressful week because of all the different pressures.

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 3: He's got a lot more. I don't know if courage

30
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: is the right word, but you know, he calls some

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 3: of his pressures out of schedule from what most defensive

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: coordinators do. So every play you have to be ready

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 3: for it, and it does limit you sometimes as far

34
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 3: as some of the schemes you want to run because

35
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: you know, some coordinators you're like, hey, we know that

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 3: we're getting these limited number of defenses, and so every

37
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 3: play you put up against Steve, it's like, yeah, what

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: happens if he's zero's here? What happens if he and

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 3: so it's a little bit of a cat and mouse game.

40
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: And I think historically those kinds of defenses, you know,

41
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: you're always talking like, look, they may catch us once,

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: but we'll catch them. And you know, people have been

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: catching them a lot less this year than in years past.

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: Are really doing a good job.

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: And on the other side of the ball, defensive coordinator

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: Vance Joseph talked about Patrick Mahomes and how they're preparing

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: for him this time around.

48
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: It's rare that you combine his instincts and his arm

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: talent with how they run their scrambled rill, you know.

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: I mean, if you watch their offense, it's the same place,

51
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 4: but the shade of it looks different because they all

52
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 4: stop and find soft zones. So if you're in zone

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 4: and he's buying time, you better get attached to the guy.

54
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: So zone becomes manned very quickly, you know. But it's

55
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 4: impressive to watch, and it's happened every single week, you know,

56
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: and teams are talking about it, right and having plans

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: to get attached earlier and doing the scrambles, but it's

58
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 4: not happening. So we got to figure it out this week.

59
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: But it's a tough out.

60
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 2: Plus.

61
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: Cornerback passer Tan I also spoke to the media today

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: and discuss his thoughts on playing the Chiefs twice in

63
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: three weeks.

64
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very helpful because we could get an early

65
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 5: on what we did wrong the first game, but also

66
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 5: things that we did well against them early on, and

67
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, you know, when the weeks go on,

68
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: you know, a lot of things change, but you know,

69
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 5: nothing has changed as far as their scheme. A lot

70
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 5: of things look the same. So we got a good,

71
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 5: good eye for it, and you know, we're very confident

72
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 5: going in towards the game.

73
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: He also talked about what it would mean for the

74
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: guys in this locker room if they are able to

75
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: get the win over the Chiefs.

76
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean a lot. You know, they've had our

77
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 5: number these past couple of years. But you know, I mean,

78
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: the past is the past. So we're focused on getting

79
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 5: this win this coming week and we're doing our best

80
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 5: to prepare as So now.

81
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 2: It's time to take a look at today's injury report.

82
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Tackle Garrett Bowles and wide receiver Brandon Johnson were both

83
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: limited hot today's practice, and outside linebacker Baron Browning, safety

84
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Justin Simmons, and running back Dwayne Washington were all full participants.

85
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: Now joining me here.

86
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: On a Broncos now to take a look at a

87
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Sunday's matchup from the Kansas City perspective is ESPN NFL

88
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: Nation Chiefs reporter Adam Taysher.

89
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 2: Adam, thanks so much for joining me today.

90
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 6: Absolutely, this will be fun.

91
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, how are things going over there in Kansas City.

92
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 6: I can't complain. It's been raining for a couple of

93
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 6: days now, but we're headed for some snow in Colorado

94
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 6: this weekend. Can't wait for that, So it's all good.

95
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say it's going to be a

96
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: cold one. It's finally getting cold over here. So it

97
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: should be a fun game on Sunday.

98
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 6: Oh, absolutely, looking forward to it.

99
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, Adam, I know the Chiefs are coming off

100
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: a really dominant performance versus Chargers last week, in which

101
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey were honestly unstoppable. Adam,

102
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 1: what's I guess just impressed to you or surprise you

103
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: about that offensive production so far this season?

104
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's been a little bit of a different year

105
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 6: for the Chiefs offensively. They had some trouble scoring points

106
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,359
Speaker 6: early in the season. They busted out of that recently,

107
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 6: but last week against the Chargers. You remember that the

108
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 6: Chiefs had the problems in the red zone two weeks

109
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 6: ago against the Broncos. So it's been a different kind

110
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 6: of year, and this is a different kind the Chiefs team.

111
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 6: Maybe not quite as dynamic as we've known them to be,

112
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 6: but certainly far better defensively. So it's taken some getting

113
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 6: used to, but it is a different version of the Chiefs,

114
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 6: no doubt about it.

115
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned the chief struggles in the red zone

116
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: back in Week six.

117
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: I want to take a look back at that matchup.

118
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: You know, they only found the end zone once and

119
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 1: Denver's defense held them to four field goals.

120
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: So what's kind of been the word around that this week?

121
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: What are the players the coach is saying about this

122
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: Broncos defense they'll face again on Sunday.

123
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, you know a lot of Chiefs fans

124
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 6: are focusing on the seventy points the Broncos gave up

125
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 6: a few weeks ago against the Dolphins and saying, well,

126
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 6: if the Chiefs can't get even halfway there, how good

127
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 6: could they possibly be? But they weren't paying attention. Certainly,

128
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 6: looks like the Broncos are making some pretty big gains defensively,

129
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 6: and I think we saw that two weeks ago when

130
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 6: the Broncos wor at Arrowhead Stadium. I think they're playing

131
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 6: pretty well defensively now, So I don't expect a big

132
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 6: number from the Chiefs. I'm not sure if you'd ask

133
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 6: the Chiefs get an honest answer for them. They're expecting

134
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 6: to put up a big number this weekend either.

135
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I no tight end Travis Kelsey.

136
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: He's had really dominant performance the past several weeks now,

137
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: So what's what I guess what do you think's been

138
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: the reason for that and what makes them so hard

139
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: to stop?

140
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, it has been an amazing streak. I mean, he

141
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 6: caught a pass on twenty eight straight targets from Pat Mahomes,

142
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 6: started in the Week five game against Minnesota, continued on

143
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 6: through the Broncos game. I think he was nine for

144
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 6: nine that day and then was whatever. I think it

145
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 6: was nine for nine against the Chargers as well before

146
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 6: the streak broke. So it's just been an amazing streak

147
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 6: for him. And he's just had three really big games.

148
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 6: And you know, it's kind of interesting to me that

149
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 6: the Chargers of the Broncos are maybe two of the

150
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: teams that ought to have the best idea about how

151
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 6: to contain Travis Kelcey, and he's had big games against them.

152
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 6: He always seems too against the Chargers, So I'm interested

153
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 6: to see what, if anything that the Broncos do differently

154
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 6: this time. They kind of matched up patser Tan in

155
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 6: certain situations with them last time, and I'm wondering if

156
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 6: they're going to try that again on Sunday.

157
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Outam.

158
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: The schedule is interesting this year in the fact that

159
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: these two teams are facing each other twice within three weeks.

160
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: I know that's been a topic of conversation over here

161
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: in the locker room. But is that something the guys

162
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: over there talking about.

163
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, the Chiefs have a number of

164
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 6: quirks in their schedule. It's just kind of crazy. You know,

165
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 6: they have one new game this year. I mean they've

166
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 6: already played it. They played it, of course in Week

167
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 6: two in Jacksonville when it was like two hundred degrees.

168
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 6: So yeah, so, but you know, so they're kind of

169
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 6: used to weird things like this, But I don't remember

170
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 6: anything quite like this with the Chiefs of a divisional

171
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 6: opponent twice in three weeks. I know what happens around

172
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 6: the league from time to time, it hasn't happened to

173
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 6: the Chiefs for a while. And you know a lot

174
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 6: of people are one whether one team or the other

175
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 6: holds anything back in the first meeting to there's no

176
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 6: holding back in the NFL, you start holding back and

177
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 6: you run into problems. So both teams did what they

178
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 6: felt like they had to do to win a game,

179
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 6: and they're going to be doing that again on Sunday.

180
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

181
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: It is interesting the fact that the last matchup was

182
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: on the Thursday night, So I know the Broncos players

183
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: and coaches over here excited to have a full week

184
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: to prepare for this Chiefs Chiefs game. So you know,

185
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: Adam looking at the Kansas City's defense. Now, I know

186
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: linebacker Nick Boland, you know, he just had surgery on

187
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: that risk injury and he's going to be out. Of course,

188
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: he picked off Russell Wilson in that last matchup, So

189
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: who's stepping up in his place at this Broncos offense

190
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: maybe should be on the lookout for.

191
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Drew Trankwell, the chief signed him as sort of

192
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 6: insurance during the offseason. He'd played against the Broncos many

193
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 6: times when he was with the Chargers over the last

194
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 6: few years. Chiefs sort of signed him. He was sitting

195
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 6: out there without a ton of interest, remarkably, and the

196
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 6: chief said, you know what, we can put him to

197
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 6: good use in some of our sub packages. And actually

198
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 6: Nick Bolton missed three games earlier in the year with

199
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 6: an ankle injury, and he was obviously backed by the

200
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 6: Broncos game, but Drew Tranqul filled in and did a

201
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 6: really nice job. I mean, the Chiefs really didn't miss

202
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 6: a whole lot without Nick Bolton in there. They would

203
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 6: love to have Nick Bolton. I don't think there's any

204
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 6: way to portray this as a positive thing or good

205
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 6: for the Chiefs. I mean, they're a better team when

206
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 6: Nick Bolton's in their lineup, but they missed very little

207
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 6: with Tranquil in there. And I'm just sort of wondering

208
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 6: what this Nick Bolton injury. The Chiefs are expecting to

209
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 6: miss about six games, so he should be back late

210
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 6: in the regular season. And I'm wondering whether the Chiefs

211
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 6: might not look back on this injury, and Bolton himself

212
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 6: look back on this injury is maybe a good thing,

213
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 6: save a lot of wear and tear on a good

214
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 6: player for the Chiefs who plays a lot and is

215
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 6: a key part of their defense. I'm wondering whether they

216
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 6: won't look back and say, you know what, this is

217
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 6: pretty good. We kept them fresh for the end of

218
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 6: the regular season and the playoffs.

219
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. You know, looking at the Chiefs defense, I

220
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: guess as a whole, they did a really great job

221
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: at shutting down Russell Wilson in that previous matchup.

222
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: Secondary specifically, I.

223
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Mean, how do you think they'll look to build off

224
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: that previous performance.

225
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, the Chiefs have been very consistent defensively. They had

226
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 6: a little bit of a rough patch in the first

227
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 6: half against the Chargers, they gave up seventeen points, but

228
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 6: they shut up the Chargers in the second half. So

229
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 6: it's just been They've got a lot they can go

230
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 6: to and it's impossible to predict what they're going to

231
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 6: do against Russell Wilson, but they've got a lot they

232
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 6: can do. Their linemen, they're so versatile up front. They

233
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 6: can line up Chris Jones and really a lot of

234
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 6: their other regulars on the defensive line in a variety

235
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 6: of spots to give to take advantage of any matchups

236
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 6: they might like. And at the back end they can

237
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 6: do a lot of things. A lot of versatile players

238
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 6: in their secondary as well, so they can do a

239
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 6: lot of different things, and they do do a lot

240
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 6: of different things to match up with a particular opponent.

241
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 6: So Steve Spagnolo, their defensive quarter Hay has a lot

242
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 6: to work with this year, and he's using a lot

243
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 6: of it.

244
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: I feel like this Chiefs defense, too, is one of

245
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: the better units that we've seen in recent years, which

246
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: is honestly a little bit scary.

247
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, they've played well at times over the years. When

248
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 6: the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in twenty nineteen, they

249
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,719
Speaker 6: weren't very good early in the year defensive league, but

250
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 6: it got a lot better, and actually I think was

251
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 6: over the last six weeks of the regular season led

252
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 6: the league in scoring defense, and then they went on

253
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 6: to play well in the playoffs that year as well,

254
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 6: and the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. So at times

255
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 6: they've had good defenses, but not quite like this, not

256
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 6: as good as they've been. I mean, the Chiefs are

257
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 6: second in the league in scoring defense, so it is

258
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 6: a remarkable thing from them that teams know they need

259
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 6: to score points to beat the Chiefs. Nobody has really

260
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 6: done that. The Lions got twenty one with the defensive touchdown.

261
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 6: They really only got four team on the Chiefs defensively,

262
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 6: but the Lions are the only opponent to get to

263
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 6: twenty points so far this year.

264
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: We Adam last one here about the matchup? What do

265
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: you think or who do you think will be the matchup?

266
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,959
Speaker 1: Really to watch this weekend?

267
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 6: Well, I always look at when the chief when the

268
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 6: Chiefs are on defense, to me, that's you know, that's

269
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 6: where the game will be one or lost. I feel

270
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 6: that a lot, believe it or not. I just feel

271
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 6: like at some point the Chiefs will get to a

272
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 6: point level and can the opponent keep up? In this case,

273
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 6: can the Broncos keep up with the Chiefs? And so

274
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 6: I just feel like when the Broncos have the ball,

275
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 6: can they be a little more effective than they were

276
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 6: last time around? Limit the turnovers, score more than one touchdown.

277
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 6: If they can, I think this can be a very

278
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 6: interesting game, more or less like the last one. I

279
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 6: don't see I don't see it being as low scoring

280
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 6: as that. So I think the Broncos need to get

281
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 6: at least into the teams and probably into the twenties

282
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 6: on Sunday.

283
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, so aways a close game when the Broncos and

284
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have played other and I know for us

285
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: over here hoping the Broncos can break that losing streak

286
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: versus Chiefs.

287
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 2: Adam appreciate you joining the show today.

288
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 6: Hey, anytime. This was fun.

Speaker 6: I've already got it packed.

292

Speaker 1: Well, then I'll do it for today's episode of Broncos
