00:00I just want to get your thoughts real quick on the Chiefs-Colts.
00:03Maybe we'll bring Mikel and Elam on in a little bit.
00:05But what are your thoughts on the Chiefs' escape in overtime?
00:08It was an incredible game.
00:11I don't think we learned anything about the Chiefs,
00:14except that I think Andy Reid has really bought into this
00:17running the ball with Kenneth Walker thing.
00:20I think this is the new Chiefs.
00:24They're just as good.
00:25It's going to be different.
00:26It's going to be ground and pound.
00:27And then Mahomes magic when you need it.
00:30I think I learned more about the Colts than anything.
00:35I believe the Colts are a formidable team.
00:39I thought they were just – I'm not saying they're going to do anything
00:42significant in the AFC, but their team that wasn't even on my radar.
00:47And with Jonathan Taylor, the way they played,
00:51the way they competed against the Chiefs,
00:54I think the Colts need to be on the radar,
00:56especially for a wild card spot late in the season next year.
00:59Because remember, they went down the toilet at the end of the season.
01:02And even Mike Tirico mentioned how they had lost, what,
01:06nine straight games, seven last year and two this year.
01:10They're not a bad team.
01:11And they might stun some teams if you take them lightly.
01:14John, you don't like that?
01:15Come on, John.
01:16Don't do that.
01:18You saw that game.
01:19The Colts looked pretty good.
01:20I cannot take the Colts seriously until their owner gets back in the box.
01:25Sorry.
01:26Whoa, okay.
01:27Sorry.
01:28That lets me know –
01:29She has a lot to say, too.
01:30That lets me know that organization is not ran by the head coach.
01:35When the owner of the team has an earpiece on the sideline
01:38and a call sheet, pretty much, of what's happening,
01:43I didn't –
01:44You want to say nothing –
01:46You want to say nothing what Jerry Jones was doing in the 90s,
01:49parading around the sidelines?
01:51In the 90s, buddy, I was dunking basketballs on the south side of Chicago.
01:55Okay.
01:57Okay?
01:58Every time Austin White finds himself on the sidelines at the end of the game,
02:02I go, buddy, going back upstairs, what can you do from down there?
02:06Like, I –
02:06He's down there.
02:07You're making my point.
02:09Arthur Blank's down there, too.
02:10And that's why 28-3 happened,
02:12because he brought his happy ass down to the sideline
02:14on his face to be shown in the Super Bowl
02:17and had to turn tail and go back upstairs with a sad face.
02:20Stay where you at.
02:22Stay where you at, bro.
02:24But in all seriousness, the Chiefs are back to being the Chiefs,
02:28but it's just different.
02:30The offense is just going to be –
02:31it's just going to be a different iteration of it.
02:33And it actually could extend Travis Kelce's career.
02:38It's not an aerial assault where you need to depend on him
02:41as much as you used to.
02:42I thought the level of play you're seeing from Travis Kelce
02:45is absolutely because of Kenneth Walker.
02:48Yeah, I agree.
02:50Like, tonight's a perfect example of why the Chiefs work.
02:53The Rams did not respect the running –
02:56they respected the running game enough that they had to put eight in the box.
02:59And because you now have to do that, you force them to pass.
03:03And in that particular situation, when Kenneth Walker is running like that,
03:07the linebackers have to pay attention to the run game.
03:10And now you've got a safety guarding Travis Kelce.
03:13He automatically is at the second level, and they can't tackle him.
03:17He's had two long runs off safety missed tackles,
03:20and then he breaks it for 40 yards.
03:22That's why he's just so good because now the dynamics
03:25of who's defending him has changed.
03:27It's not some 6'5", you know, 250 guy.
03:31It's some 5'9", 5'10", 5'11", 200-pound guy.
03:35And that's been the complete difference in what has happened
03:38at the second level for Travis Kelce to start the season
03:42because of Kenneth Walker.
03:44And, you know, this whole preseason
03:46and into the first couple weeks of the regular season,
03:48I've been talking about the AFC West is who knows what the heck is going on.
03:52It is clear to me that the Chiefs are going to win that division
03:55and everybody else is just playing for second place.
03:57Oh, that's the Raiders shock the world.
03:59Hey, the Raiders.
04:01No, but that's not going to – they're going to be decent,
04:04but they're not going to keep playing to this level.
04:07You know, again, they play the Chargers who stink.
04:10You know what I mean?
04:11Let's be real about it.
04:12The Chiefs are the class of the division once again after one year off.
04:16Yeah, listen, I mean, you look at – I mean, Kenneth Walker, again,
04:20117 rushing yards, 61 receiving yards.
04:24Travis Kelsey, 9 for 101 with a touchdown.
04:27And Patrick Mahomes is airing it out.
04:29Like, he looks like 2022, 2023 Mahomes,
04:33or he was just letting it go.
04:35Because you have to defend them honestly now.
04:39You have to respect the run game.
04:41Now that play action is there,
04:43and that play action with that man back there quarterback,
04:46oh, you're dead.
04:47You're dead.
04:48You're dead because he's still got legs.
04:50He don't have fresh legs, but he's still got legs.
04:52And so you're dead on the play action.
04:54If they play – if you bite on the play action against the Chiefs,
04:5770-yard touchdown, 60-yard touchdown.
05:00Because he can make any throw.
05:02He showed that again last night.
05:04Yeah, that's dangerous.
05:05Go ahead, Terry.
05:06They might win 12 or 13 wins, 12 or 13 games this year.
05:11Like, they really look like they're back.
05:13It's not like some joke.
05:15They look dangerous again.
05:18One move.
05:19Over $2 million.
05:20One move.
05:21Over $2 million.
05:22And that's why – people always talk about Andy Reid over his career.
05:25People don't respect Andy Reid, the GM,
05:28what he's done over his career as well.
05:32Yeah, and listen, now I think Kenneth Walker has like 369 scrimmage yards
05:37in two games, which is just insane how that guy changes the dynamic
05:42of this team so much.
05:44You wouldn't think like, oh, they're going to bring in this –
05:46like, obviously he's a Super Bowl MVP, but they're going to bring in
05:48a running back and it's going to change the way the Chiefs play offense.
05:51And it was, and it has been.
05:54And the perspective – the perspective is almost like people look like Pacheco.
06:01Like, he was a piece of garbage the way the offense looks now.
06:05People liked Pacheco a couple years ago.
06:07It's amazing how a star caliber player in any position
06:12to really uplift the team.
