00:00Let's talk about the Chiefs.
00:01How do they nicely push Travis Kelsey out the door
00:05because he's shot?
00:07Yeah, it's really interesting.
00:11For many years, Scott, Kelsey was unstoppable.
00:15But from talking to players, tight ends and receivers,
00:19when they're in their 30s, as they progress in their 30s,
00:23their legs just go.
00:24Like, when you lose your legs, your ability to be explosive,
00:29you've got to call it quits.
00:30And if you would have asked me this three or four weeks ago,
00:32I would have said, nah, there's been no hint of it.
00:35But he slowed down.
00:36Scott, first time in his career for a season,
00:38he averaged less than 10 yards per catch.
00:408 and 1 half yards per catch is really low.
00:42Now, the Chiefs don't really have his replacement.
00:44They've got Jared Wiley, who is what we call an inline tight
00:47end, a wide tight end, who suffered a torn ACL, I'm told,
00:51in a Friday practice.
00:52Noah Gray's a pretty good athlete,
00:54but he's really not a starting tight end.
00:56So they've got some issues at tight end.
00:57They will be.
00:59Well, they're going to have to combine those two guys
01:03together, because they still need to help a tight end.
01:05But the big thing is, Scott, one of the biggest reasons
01:08why they got smoked by the Eagles
01:10is they don't have a left tackle.
01:11They moved Joe Tooney from left guard to left tackle.
01:15He's not a left tackle.
01:16He struggled mightily.
01:17You saw him get pushed back.
01:19Their offensive line, who is horrendous,
01:22they need a left tackle in the worst way.
01:23They need corners.
01:25They need to help Trent McDuffie.
01:26They've got to make a decision with McDuffie.
01:28He's a full-time outside corner.
01:29He was the best nickel in the National Football League
01:31previously this season.
01:32But now they've been playing him on the outside,
01:34so they've got to do that.
01:36So they need a left tackle.
01:37They need a tight end, and they need a corner.
01:39So they've got a lot of work to do.
01:41The Eagles have more key free agents than the Chiefs do.
01:44But for the Chiefs, man, they're just not the same.
01:48I think what happened, Scott, when
01:50we analyzed what happened to the Chiefs this season,
01:52only two games of 30 points or more.
01:54One of them was in the playoffs.
01:56They've been on a steady regression offensively,
01:58and they've got to get this thing on the right path.
02:00Yeah, the only game they scored 30-plus,
02:03it was the Bills game of all games.
02:06Now that Buffalo gives up that big amount,
02:08it was unbelievable.
