00:00The matchup of Casey's offense against Philadelphia's defense the reality is and I don't the how is Casey gonna have success
00:09Because it's Pat. That's what because it's Andy
00:12That is what a lot of it comes down to because when you look at what Casey's offense has done throughout the year
00:18And when you look at what Philly's defense has done throughout the year that isn't a good matchup for Kansas City
00:24It is just banking on greatness, and you have never once heard me say that those two are anything other than great
00:31They are great, but they have had their issues this year
00:35But perhaps they can have this be a close game and therefore their greatness can pull it out
00:41But in order for it to be close
00:43I think that means the Kansas City defense will need to step up in this matchup here
00:50How do you feel Lee CKC
00:52Defensively can impact this game
00:54Or do you find them up against it going into playing the Eagles and Saquon and hurts and all of their firepower?
01:00I think they are up against it
01:02I think the game plan and what we've discussed all week is to try and negate or limit
01:07Saquon Barkley and what I mean by that is they might stack the box a little bit more and
01:12Force Jalen hurts over the top. I actually like Jalen hurts today in terms of the play-action passing game
01:18But I think that's the first and foremost player that they're gonna look to take away and we always talk about breaking tendency
01:24But think about this in terms of this matchup
01:27You look at the Buffalo team and you look at the playmakers that they had outside of really James Cook the playmakers were you know?
01:35Media, you know average, you know at best. This is not AJ Brown. This is not Dallas Gallagher
01:41Got it. This is not Devante Smith and certainly not Saquon Barkley running the football and potentially catching it out of the backfield
01:48I know by the way, you have a quarterback that not just can throw the football
01:52But in terms of the RPO game can really put pressure on the edge of your defense you get that train in motion
01:58It's gonna be very difficult to stop again. I think that Philly Kev does attack them over the top early
02:05They throw to run the football later in the matchup. That certainly doesn't mean Saquon's not gonna get touches in the first or second quarter
02:12I just think in terms of if we look at balance Donny, I think maybe we see maybe
02:186040 first quarter pass to run and then you look for Saquon potentially later in the match
02:23They're really good points that Joe just brought up specifically here from the first two games in the playoffs and you're going to recessing biases
02:28It's always what we do Houston's very good football team. Very limited though
02:31Hey, Joe Mixon's a quality back the offensive line average at best and they have a wide receiving core
02:36That was Nico Collins and hopefully somebody can step up fast forward the next week there to the Buffalo Bills who we love Josh Allen
02:41We love James Cook solid and solid but it's not Saquon Barkley
02:45It's not AJ Brown and Devante Smith and Dallas got it on that offense to counter punch it
02:49We're not taking anything away from Kansas City
02:50We're just letting the facts be known at this point
02:52The one thing that now you have to look at is the past two years for me looking at the Chiefs in the Super Bowl two
02:57Years ago, I thought the better team was the Philadelphia Eagles overall more talented there
03:01But it was Patrick Mahomes coming back from a double-digit
03:03We all sat here last year watching the Super Bowl play out with the San Francisco 49ers by far the more talented team
03:09Double-digit league what happened it in the game Patrick Mahomes and Andy re came through
03:12So the same thing is going to happen this year because that's the trust level Andy regain planning
03:17What cost the Philadelphia Eagles a Super Bowl a couple years ago late in the third quarter early in the fourth quarter that corn dog?
03:22motion that they call it where the Eagles had never seen it and a wide open third down conversion followed by a wide open touchdown almost
03:27Back-to-back plays that did them in hopefully Fangio can account for that
03:30But I'm still sitting here in the seat saying boy
03:32You just look at the Kansas City Chiefs not Andy re and Spagnola prepare them
03:35Even though they're not the more talented team
03:38they always show up and they always win close games and that's a valid fact and
03:43That is maybe a part of why I don't know if I expect this to be as close as many would and you know
03:49It's not a disrespect thing
03:51This is how good I think the Eagles are and I do have my questions around Kansas City
03:56And there are some areas that they can make life difficult if
04:00Devonta is limited Devonta Smith. Yes, and McDuffie is going to be able to do a very good job
04:05Limiting his workload that could then open up some opportunities to double AJ and take out some of those deep shots down the field
04:13Okay, that's absolutely fine
04:14This is a team that struggled against the tight end massively
04:17Dallas Goddard is probably going to end up with the most receiving yards in the postseason this year. That's how good he's playing
04:23And then there is Saquon
04:25The KC run defense has started to look worse and worse as this season has gone on and you know
04:32How would they oh they play their best defense of it?
04:34No, they're playing their worst run defense at this time of the year mixin and cook combined in those two playoff games
04:4131 carries
04:44173 yards
04:465.6 per carry three rushing touchdowns and
04:50Incomes the birthday boy one of two for Philadelphia today's Saquon Barkley ready to
04:57absolutely explode off of just a
05:0115-carry game against Washington with a bye week in hand
05:04I think limiting Saquon is much easier said than done
