1 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to playmakers everyone. I'm your host, Haley Elwood. It 2 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 1: is week eleven. The Los Angeles Charters return home for 3 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: their second Sunday night football game in as many weeks, 4 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: this one against the Kansas City Chiefs. So joining me 5 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: to talk about this game and this opponent is Haley Lewis, 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: a fellow Haley from the NBC affiliate in Kansas City. Haley, 7 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,480 Speaker 1: thanks for coming on. I think you were the only 8 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: Haley I've ever met who spells your name the same 9 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: way like the double why if you mean business? I 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: love it. That's it. I mean, we could do a 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: whole separate podcast. I'm sure on how many various spellings 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: we've gotten right indirectly right? Yeah, Well, anyways, thanks for 13 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: having me on. I love that. No, but I didn't 14 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: want to get on the record. The double why is 15 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: the right way? Right? Oh? Absolutely, yeah, there's no other way. 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: Everyone else just spelled it wrong. So exactly. Yeah. With 17 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: that being said, super excited to talk about this matchup 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: with you. The game obviously gets flex to Sunday night football. 19 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 1: Everyone loves Justin Herbert and everyone loves Patrick Mahomes. Everyone 20 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 1: gets to see it on the national stage. We talk 21 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: about it. On the Charter side, these games are always wild, 22 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: They're always funder when James is saying, they always come 23 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: down to the fourth quarter, which it always feels like 24 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: from your perspective on the Kansas City side, what are 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: these Chargers Chiefs games like? I mean it's another AFC 26 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: West you know game. They're always the divisual games always, 27 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: no matter what the record is, are always going to 28 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: be crazy games. It doesn't matter if it's Broncos, who 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: you would look at and be like, at this point, 30 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 1: that's an easy win. Somehow, it's going to be something 31 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: crazy and right. You got the Chargers in the Chiefs 32 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: who both have these young, dynamic quarterbacks who always are 33 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: ready for a shootout. The passing yards are always absurd 34 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: in these games. I think you can never count out 35 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: a matchup like this being just an easy blow up 36 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: or excuse me, blowout. It's always going to be something 37 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: weird or wonky happens. I mean it just does. It 38 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: delivers good primetime television. I think that's why the game 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: got flex right because everyone sees what happens when you 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: put a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes who hates losing and 41 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,679 Speaker 1: anything to do with it against another quarterback who's kind 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: of pushing at knocking at the door. Now, we might 43 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: not have, you know, the glorified postseason run that Mahomes 44 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: has right now, but he also has it had the 45 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: utilities Mahomes has or the coaching staff that the Chiefs 46 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: have been able to put together under Andy Reid's trees. 47 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: So I think that this is always a fun one. 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if the Chargers are as beat up 49 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: as they are. This is a game that is a 50 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: divisional game and it has a little extra meaning behind it. 51 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: So I think the players come to play, not that 52 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: they don't on every given Sunday, but this is a 53 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: matchup that I think is going to deliver. And I 54 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: think the NFL gods and obviously NBC saw that this 55 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: was worthy of primetime. Yeah. I couldn't agree with you more. 56 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: And I laugh when you say weird, because that is 57 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: always how we describe it is bizarre. It's bizarre any 58 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: AFC West gave, truly, But they're just always weird. They're 59 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: just always weird and wild. It's like the Wus in 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: the West. I guess you can just call it that 61 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: a weird wild and what were we I don't even 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: know what that would do. Yeah, there you go. But 63 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: you know it's funny too, because I want to talk 64 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: about the Chiefs specifically with you, and Chargers fans listening 65 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: are probably gonna go, it's the Chiefs. We know the Chiefs. 66 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: But granted these teams are different. They last met in 67 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: week two, they're gonna meet here again in week eleven. 68 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: How is Kansas City a different team from the last 69 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: time the Chargers saw them. Well, I think one of 70 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: the biggest things is that the Chiefs have one of 71 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: the best, if not the best kicker in the NFL, 72 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: and that's Harrison Bucker, who's basically at the top of 73 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: all kickers, and he was out after having an injury 74 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: during Week one against the Cards slipping on the turf, 75 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: had an ankle I don't't think it was a high 76 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: ankle sprain, but definitely an ankle spring that is still 77 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: bothering him to this day. And now we're a week eleven. 78 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: He was out in that game and they had to 79 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: rely on another backup kicker, which people don't realize how 80 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: much special teams matters until it matters, And I think 81 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: that that's going to play a big role when they 82 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: have that unit. But also, you know, flash forward to 83 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: a team that now has a dude like Darius Tony 84 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: that they just got from the Giants who's been putting 85 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: up amazing, you know percentages. He put up another his 86 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: first touchdown in the league, his first touchdown with the 87 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: Chiefs last weekend. So you have sometimes I literally have 88 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: to sit back Haley and be like, how many more 89 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: offensive weapons does Patrick Mahomes need. They just continue to 90 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: bring in people. They bring in Jujus Smith Schuster during 91 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: the offseason. I'm like, great, awesome, that's a great you know, 92 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: a great catch. It's gonna be amazing. Mcole Hardman's on 93 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: a contract year. He starts to pick up. Then we 94 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: bring in more offensive power. We're bringing more defensive power. 95 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: And it's like Brett Veach, who's the general manager for 96 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, he just is he would trade his mom 97 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: away if it meant that the Chiefs are going to win. 98 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,679 Speaker 1: So the man brings in anyone and everyone to build 99 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: up Mahome's arsenal. So I think the Chiefs also in 100 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: those first couple of seasons, just naturally as any other 101 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: team does, they work through those kinks they work through 102 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: keeping getting away from keeping games close, not playing with 103 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: your food right, getting rid of it, finishing the game 104 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 1: as quickly as you can. And so I think that 105 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: they had a few of those key injuries in the beginning, 106 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: and they were also still trying to work through the 107 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: timing because the biggest thing in football is that chemistry matters. 108 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 1: And if you don't have chemistry with your QB one 109 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: as a receiver or as an offensive weapon, or even 110 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: as a running back, if you don't have that developed 111 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: quite yet. There were a lot of new pieces, so 112 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: week two, they weren't all together quite yet. Feel like 113 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: now mid season they're hitting their stride. Which is the 114 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 1: perfect time to hit your stride, right, this is an 115 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: opportunity to be up three games in the AFC West 116 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: if they win on Sunday. So this team is hitting 117 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: their stride, and I think with the new additional pieces 118 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: they brought in, that's the difference you're going to see, 119 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: especially going up. And I hate to say the Chargers 120 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: are so banged up right now. And I know you 121 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 1: guys might have a few of those key receivers back 122 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: this week, it's still going to be a really hard 123 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: matchup when you're down that much in your depth chart. Oh, 124 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: it always is, and they're always a team that you 125 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: know offensively, they have so much firepower. I mean, dear God, 126 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: God bless Veach's mom and hopefully she doesn't get out 127 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: because you're right though. I mean, even when the Tony 128 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: trade happened, it's like, Okay, well, you know, he hasn't 129 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: totally panned out in the NFL yet, but then he's 130 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: done what he's done with the Chiefs thus far, and 131 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: it's like, of course, of course he's working out, And 132 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: we make the joke on this side like I'm surious. Yeah, 133 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: we'll get to him in a second. But I want 134 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: to go back to Patrick Mahomes because he's having what 135 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: many are calling an MVP caliber season at this point. 136 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: What is working so well for him when really the 137 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: whole offseason story was what is it going to be 138 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: like without Tyreek Hill? And I think you're right. You 139 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: hit the nail on the head. That was the biggest 140 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: thing is Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes without Tyreek Hill. And 141 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: I think this is the year that he is proving 142 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: that he still is going to be great with or 143 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: without Tyreek. And also Tyreek vice versa is proving that 144 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: he's still Tyreek Hill without Patrick Mahomes, and I think 145 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: that was a really big thing for both of those 146 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: players to prove. And it's really Mahomes now that we 147 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if you look at the rest of the league, 148 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: the MVP is Mahomes is to lose if he continues 149 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: to just put up those average Mahomes games, and that's 150 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: your He doesn't need a throw or have four hundred 151 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: plus yards every game, as long as he's in that 152 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: three hundred yards you know, a touchdown here or two. 153 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: He leads like drastically in touchdowns, so he's far ahead 154 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: of where he needs to be to lock in that MVP. Again, 155 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: if the Chiefs keep winning and he keeps putting up 156 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: average Mahomes games, then he's going to be great. And 157 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: I think the biggest difference is proving that down. You know, 158 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: he's fifth year as a starter, proving that he can 159 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: continually do that. Because they're greats all the time, right, 160 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: but continually being great is what makes you one of 161 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: the goats, right, That's what makes you. With Tom Brady, 162 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: it's continually putting those type of years back to back 163 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: to back, and I think he's proving, Hey, I am 164 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: taking the checkdowns, I'm not always throwing out Mahome's magic. 165 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: I'm maturing in my game. I'm comfortable staying in the pocket. 166 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: I think for him that's been a really big advantage 167 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: of why he's being in this conversation of MVP this year. 168 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a great point you make, because sometimes 169 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: I think we take greatness for granted. I think we're 170 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: sometimes so used to it, we're numb to it. Because 171 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: when these certain caliber of players do it at a 172 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: high level, it's even like justin Herbert last season, it's like, well, great, 173 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: you know there's another like record setting year, Like there's 174 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: another franchise, you know, record rookie, you know, first two 175 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 1: year player record, whatever it is that you almost take 176 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: it for granted. But the consistency is so key, and 177 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: that is what we are seeing from him when you know, 178 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: we've sort of seen them maybe have go through some 179 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: rough patches over the last no season or so, but 180 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: then they figure it out, and he's certainly got it 181 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: figured out this year. It seems to be clicking and 182 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going to complain. So yeah, so let's get 183 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: to Kadarius Tony you met. He scored his first touchdown 184 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: last week. What has he added to this offense? He's 185 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: a smart man. I'm gonna tell you that he is. 186 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: He's a young kid, but he's smart. We're even talking 187 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: with Travis Kelsey the other day, who was talking just 188 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: about how high his football IQ is and whenever a 189 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: trade happens, the guys are in the locker room and 190 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: they're kind of thinking, Okay, this is great, but what's 191 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: wrong with him? You know, like, does he have an 192 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: attitude issue? Is he not a team player? What's gonna 193 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,199 Speaker 1: be what's gonna be the factor that were It's like, oh, 194 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: I get it. That's why it wasn't clicking in their 195 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: locker room, and that's why we're gonna have like what 196 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: are we gonna have to put up with to use 197 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: his talent? And and speaking with Travis, he was like, 198 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's nothing. I'm I'm just as shocked as 199 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: everyone else's. The guy is smart, he's a hard worker. 200 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: He puts his head down, he learns the playbook, coach 201 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: read Patrick Mahomes. They're all singing his praises of how 202 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 1: quickly he's picking up this offense, and Andy Reid offense 203 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: is not easy to pick up, especially for what he 204 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: asks of his receivers to do. It usually takes them 205 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: multiple years to kind of get that second nature of 206 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: what route they're going to be. But he has been 207 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: just phenomenal off the bat, and then you see him 208 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 1: in practice. You see how well he did on the 209 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: few special teams reps he was getting, and then you 210 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: see he has just an amazing game against the Jags. 211 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: He basically hop scotches into the end zone on one foot, 212 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: open right and then down the field. He has two 213 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: defenders on him and he's, I think the best word 214 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: to say, he's calm and comfortable, and that's something that 215 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: they need in the receiver room. They have a lot 216 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: of speed, they have a lot of skill set, but 217 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: can you pair that skill set with the high football 218 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: IQ and come together with a kid who's actually all 219 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: about the team first and rather winning in his own 220 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: individual stats. And it seems like that's what they have 221 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: found in Tony. When we talk to him, the man 222 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: is humbled down to earth, easy to talk to, but 223 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: to hear that from other players, that's when you're like, Okay, 224 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: this kid is really the real deal and he's showcased 225 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: it here in Casey and maybe this is a system 226 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: that better fits his skill set and it's going to 227 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: prove why he deserved to be a first rounder. So well, 228 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: just a very tip of what we've seen for him. 229 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see how he goes down the stretch. 230 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: I bet he's going to be a huge part in 231 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: this postseason. Well, I think he's a huge part right 232 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: now because as much as you mentioned all these different 233 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: weapons for Patrick Mahomes, there is some attrition that the 234 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: receiver room is facing right now. What are some updates 235 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: that you may be able to share on some of 236 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: those guys who may or may not be available on Sunday. 237 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: So we had good news today. Marquis Valda Scantlin is 238 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: back at practice. He was dealing with some kind of 239 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: illness yesterday. He was back on Thursday. It's looking like 240 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: he should be able to go this weekend. The biggest 241 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: one is really Juju Smith, Schuster and McCole Hardman who 242 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: McCole has been out. He missed last week. That was 243 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: his first NFL game since being drafted in twenty nineteen 244 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: to ever miss, and it's due to what they're saying 245 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: is illness in the abdomen. We don't know exactly what 246 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: that means, but we do know it's serious. We know 247 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: that he has from other reports been in the hospital 248 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: dealing with certain things. And again we don't know what 249 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: it is and I can't officially say anything that it is. 250 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: It's just from speculation of Okay, he's not feeling luck 251 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: because he missed the game and now he's been out 252 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: all practice this week as well, missing yesterday and today. 253 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: So that's not looking hopeful. And that's you know, one 254 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes's favorite targets, especially outside of Travis Kelcey. 255 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: That's the main target for him. And then you look 256 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: at Jujus fith Schuster, who has again hit that stride 257 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: with Mahomes and now kind of they're finding that perfect timing. 258 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: You saw him come up big in the last three games, 259 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: and he took a violent hit last week against the Jags, 260 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: and I mean he took a hit so hard that 261 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: you know, the brain injury is so serious. When your 262 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: hands we all saw Twa do this, when your hands 263 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: start going back. It's just a brain's natural reaction to 264 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: taking damage like that. And so he was in concussion 265 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: protocol immediately, he's still in protocol, Hecko Jenny Reid saying yesterday, 266 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: it's a day by day thing. We'll find out maybe 267 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: Friday if he is able to get out of that. 268 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: But we you know, that's an up in the air thing. 269 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: So if those two top receivers are out, a lot 270 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: of that work is going to have to fall on 271 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: other receivers like Justin Watson, who they got from Tampa, 272 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: who he's been huge and clutch opportune times, and then 273 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,200 Speaker 1: also rely heavily on their new edition Tony. It's kind 274 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: of interesting because it's like two down, there's still four 275 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: to go. So unless you get rid of a six 276 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: man wide receiver room all in one plague, I don't 277 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: know how you're going to really stop the Chiefs, but 278 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: I think they'll have enough weapons. It's just that those 279 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: are two key weapons they're gonna be missing, So especially 280 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: against the Chargers defense, it's gonna be a it's gonna 281 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: be a challenge for sure. Well, moving from the air 282 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: to the ground. Another challenge that this Chargers defense will 283 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: face is going up against the Chiefs run game. They 284 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: saw a lot of Clyde Edwards Hilaire in week two. 285 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: But what is going on with that rotation right now? Yeah, 286 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: he's not there, he's they say, they said today the 287 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Eric being me saying today that we give 288 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: it to the hand that's hot. It's nothing to do 289 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: with Clarde. It's just having to do that. Checo, the 290 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: rookie is hot right now. So we're going to keep 291 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: continue feeding him and feed Jerick McKinnon in those third 292 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: down situations and that's going to be the rotation and 293 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: tell something switches. Clyde's handled it like a professional. He's 294 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 1: been coaching up Pacheco on the sideline. You see him 295 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: after a fumble or after Pacheco had a fumble, He's 296 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: the first one over there telling him keep your head up, 297 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: keep yourself in the game. I mean, he's been a 298 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: class act through and through for a rookie who seems 299 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: to have taken his starting position. So, I mean, from 300 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 1: what they're saying this week, expect to see very little 301 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: of Clyde Edwards Laire. Expect to see a lot of 302 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon and Pacheco. That's going to be. You know, 303 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: if they're going by the whole feed the hot hand, 304 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: then that's probably what's going to be happening, and it's unfortunate, 305 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: but it hasn't worked out for Edwards Laire it really 306 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: hasn't and he had a bright start to the season, 307 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: but again it kind of faded back again in the 308 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: run game, and that's something the Chiefs have not been 309 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: able to develop fully or to the ability that they've 310 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: wanted to develop it. So we're going to see how 311 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: things shake out. But I expect to a lot of Pacheco, 312 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: especially against It's kind of nice running against the Charger, 313 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: so I know that they're going to probably try to 314 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: plug it as much as they can. A lot of 315 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: attrition there, a lot of two more defensive linemen placed 316 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: on injured reserve. This we have been a tough go 317 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: up front. I mean I've been with the team for 318 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: nine seasons and twenty fifteen was a really horrible injury 319 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: riddle year. This is probably second to that. It is 320 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 1: just really but you never want to hear that too. 321 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: I always you always want the Chiefs to play the 322 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: most healthy team right and everyone to be healthy because 323 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: you want to see the best with the best. But 324 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 1: that's what football is, and we'll just have to see 325 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: how it pans out. It is, so now let's flip 326 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,479 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs defense. I was listening to Sirius XMNFL 327 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: radio the other day. Pat Kerwin was on his Moving 328 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: the Change program and he was talking to a Chiefs 329 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: fan who called in and they were talking about the 330 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs defense and he mentioned, yeah, it's all good. As 331 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: the season rolls on, it's a good thing for you guys. 332 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: Packerwin was saying, as the season rolls on, he feels 333 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: like the Spags defense really finds its groove and hits 334 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: its stride. Is that how you feel? They're like a 335 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: week eleven, week twelve kind of crew. Maybe we'll throw 336 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: a Week ten in there. Spags has a hard defensive 337 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean a hard defensive playbook to learn and talking 338 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: with veterans who have come we had a guy named 339 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: Justin Reid come in this past season as a safety 340 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: from the Texans, and I remember one of the first 341 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: things he said was, this is the deepest, hardest playbook 342 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: I've ever had to learn. And his I mean, this 343 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: is a this is a engineer from Stanford who's got 344 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: a football IQ probably higher than most of our regular IQs. 345 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: Like this man is smart, and he was like, this 346 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: is a deep playbook and it takes a long time 347 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: to learn, and I think that shows by the Chiefs 348 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: defense hitting their stride late. You got, of course, a 349 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: lot of returning players who already know the defensive playbook, 350 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: but you're bringing in a lot of rookies this past offseason, 351 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: and you also brought in a veteran like Carlos Dunlap. 352 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: Frank Clark was out the past two couple of games. 353 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: So now it's kind of everyone's healthy and everyone's back, 354 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: and all these rookies are no and they even said 355 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: it today, the rookies are no longer considered rookies. Okay, 356 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: it's week eleven. You either got it or you don't, 357 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: and you're either learning it or you're not. And the 358 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: defense seems to be like hitting their stride because they're 359 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: all sudden learning it. And I don't know what it 360 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: is to do with Spags system or what it is 361 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: to do with this Chiefs unit, but for some reason, 362 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: it picks up at the right time, and that means 363 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are winning at the right time down the stretch, 364 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: which is postseason play. So I mean, it's all good 365 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: things here. So when it comes to some of those rookies. 366 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: One that the Chargers did not see in Week two 367 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: was Trent McDuffie in the secondary. He is now back. 368 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 1: What is he shown in his return to this defensive lineup. Well, 369 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: he had one hell of a past breakup last last 370 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: week against the Sorry I don't know if I'm supposed 371 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: to say that, but against the Jags, because it's it's true. 372 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: It was so impressive that this rookie also he you know, 373 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: he went to like the DV Nation in Washington, which 374 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: they really pride themselves on their secondary. But the thing 375 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: is that Chiefs traded away or Shad Finn, who was 376 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: their kind of their their veteran player in the second dairy, 377 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: and now the majority of their players in the secondary 378 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: are all like twenty three, twenty four and under. I 379 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: think twenty six was the oldest, and that was Rashad 380 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,239 Speaker 1: and they obviously were part of ways with him. So 381 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 1: this is a very young defensive secondary and they've picked 382 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: up things pretty well. And like I was saying, the 383 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: rookies are no longer the rookies anymore. It's week eleven, 384 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 1: and they pride themselves and that. When we're talking with 385 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: Trent earlier this week, he was saying the things along 386 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: the lines of, we take so much pride in the 387 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: fact that we're able to have the success we do 388 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: at this very young age, and we're going to continue 389 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 1: to use that as motivation to show this league that 390 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,239 Speaker 1: we mean business. And he is a key element of it, 391 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,640 Speaker 1: not only because of his athleticism, but his football IQ 392 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: and the fact that he is a natural born leader. 393 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: And if a team trust a secondary that is that 394 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 1: young to be in the hands of this new rookie, 395 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: then obviously this kid's something special. So he immediately showed 396 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: an impact in the past at these two weeks that 397 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: he's been back now and I continue to fully against 398 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: a quarterback, like I asked him about that yesterday, Like, 399 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: you're going up against Justin Herbert. This is a guy 400 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: who you know can sling it and he can throw it, 401 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: throw it very long downfield. Are you guys ready for that? 402 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: And he's like, honestly, I'm just eager for the challenge. 403 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: I'm not saying I'm not gonna talk any trash from Herbert. 404 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: I'm just ready for this challenge. So it'll be interesting 405 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 1: to see. But he's been he's been a dynamic part, 406 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: not only because of his skill set, but because of 407 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: his leadership. Well, we look forward to this challenge. Final 408 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 1: question for you, what do you think is a Kira 409 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: a factor in how this game plays out? I think 410 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: it's Special Teams. I know again, I know that we 411 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: both know this. We both know that both offenses are 412 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 1: going to do exceptional things. Whether that's because of Herbert 413 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: or Holmes, who knows, but they always just do freakish 414 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,959 Speaker 1: things when they see not even yeah, I'm not even concerned. 415 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: And then you see the defense, and the defense always 416 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: comes up big and somehow Mahomes and Herbert always gets 417 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: sacked in these games. So I'm not I'm not concerned 418 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: about that. I'm concerned about whose third unit, which is 419 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: going to be Special Teams, keeps it intact, keeps all 420 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: those little things you don't think of during the game 421 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: in a very very clean unit. And if they can 422 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 1: have a clean game, then I think it's going to 423 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: be really important. They're missing one of their big guys, 424 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 1: Chris Lamon's he's in concussion protocol for the Chiefs. He's 425 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: kind of one of those multi phase Special Teams guys 426 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: that they use a lot, and so they're gonna have 427 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: to use multiple people to fill in that role for him, 428 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be a lot of young guys to 429 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: do that, so leadership in the secondary. Also, now that 430 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: they have their starting kickerback, he's missed a lot of 431 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: pats and field goals in the past couple of games, 432 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: and that is so uncharacteristic, like out of him because 433 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: he's still injured. So I think that third unit. A 434 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,479 Speaker 1: lot of people think, oh, yeah, it's just offensive defense 435 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 1: win the game, but it really special teams. That's a 436 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: huge role that we almost just take for granted. So 437 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: I think that's going to come into play. And this 438 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 1: one because mahomes Magic Herbert throwing a long ball, I mean, 439 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: that's just going to happen. We know, it's just the 440 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: tired you know storyline. So this one's probably going to 441 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 1: come down to who can keep it clean on special teams. 442 00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: I love that answer because that's a phase that never 443 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: gets talked about. It's like an offensive lineman. You never 444 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: want to talk about it. You never want to hear 445 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: the numbers called unless it's something good, because usually amazing, 446 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: it's something bad. But it's a great answer. Haley, Thank 447 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: you for joining me. Thank thank you so much. We 448 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: appreciate it. I appreciate always being here, and I wish, 449 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: I wish I could see you a person, and we 450 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 1: could we could meet up in LA. But hopefully sometime 451 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: in the postseason, we'll see how things go, we'll do 452 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: a little Haley meet up. That's the go
