- 0:00Chris Landry on your radio Monday's four to four thirty Landry Football dot Com.
- 0:04Also on x at Landry Football Chris, Happy Monday, Sir, how are
- 0:07you? I'm doing good? Jake? How are you doing this Monday?
- 0:11Doing good? You know, I don't think yesterday disappointed and the Super Bowl's
- 0:16got, you know, a lot to live up to to beat yesterday's drama.
- 0:19And let's jump off into that. I do have some college I want
- 0:21to ask you about a couple of coaches, but NBAF, I mean NFL,
- 0:24excuse me, center stage. As of yesterday. Let's go with the
- 0:27first game. Were you surprised at what you saw? Of course, Lamar
- 0:31Jackson taking some heat again for you know, not playing the best in the
- 0:35biggest moments, But your thoughts on that ball game yesterday with the Chiefs and
- 0:39the Baltimore Ravens. I'm not surprised that the Chiefs played well. I'm not
- 0:44surprised that they won. I was surprised of the offensive game plan for Baltimore,
- 0:52completely perplexing. I think I just you know, Todd Monkin, who's
- 0:58done a really nice job there. Obviously former Georgia of Finch coordinators completely outmatching
- 1:03this game, and he had no answers. And this is what I worry
- 1:07a little bit about at times. You know, experience in pro ball and
- 1:11coaching. In the NFL, it's different than in college. You win in
- 1:15college in December and February. In recruiting, I mean, you can you
- 1:21know, there's there are things you can do to augment and help you.
- 1:23But in the NFL, when you get playoff level, you can you can
- 1:29get out coached and out school. And I just they ran the football six
- 1:33times. This is a team that's built around the running game. They didn't
- 1:36attempt to run and it wasn't like they were out of the game. It
- 1:40wasn't like the Chiefs scored thirty points. So they had no quick game.
- 1:46They had no running game. And Steve Spagnola, who's phenomenal and one of
- 1:52the great defensive coordinators of our time in big games, and he's the guy
- 1:57that, remember that, basically put the game plan together to beat the unbeaten
- 2:00Patriots and Tom Brady in that magical run that they had. And I saw
- 2:06that firsthand in Arizona. He did it. Fantastic job. They played a
- 2:09lot of nickel, they played small, they played fast, and you know
- 2:14they they got they got away from the running game and they didn't have any
- 2:17quick pass game. They were in deep drops. That's not what Lamar Jackson
- 2:22springs. It was almost like, we're gonna show you that we can throw
- 2:25it from the pocket and beat you that way instead of well, we're gonna
- 2:30win and do what we do best. And I just thought it was awful,
- 2:35and h I thought they really did a disservice to that offense because I
- 2:40thought the defense hung in there pretty well. Kansas City is so well coached,
- 2:46they've got the best quarterback around. And you know they didn't again,
- 2:50they didn't score a ton of points, didn't need to. That's a perfect
- 2:53example of adjustments. I go back to Kansas City on Christmas Day getting deep
- 2:59by the Raiders and they had no answers and it was awful. They were
- 3:01dropping balls left and right. And you saw the game against Buffalo and how
- 3:06they had made the mistake to the end. But they've regrouped. We're gonna
- 3:10run the football, we're gonna rely on our defense, and we're gonna play
- 3:15off of that, and then that's gonna open up and let the passing game
- 3:19breathe, and here they are in the Super Bowl in a year where it
- 3:22was, well, what a he's gonna do? That was the question I
- 3:24got asked all year long, is well, what they can't catch the football,
- 3:28the tackles can't protect. Here's what we're gonna do. This is coaching
- 3:32coaching one oh one. We can run the football well and play defense.
- 3:37That's what we're gonna do. And we're gonna slow down people's pass rush because
- 3:40they're gonna have to defend the run first, and then that will allow us
- 3:45to kind of build on that and get the passing game going. And then
- 3:47guys like Kelsey and uh even uh uh Marquezaldez Scanling making a couple of big
- 3:53players raceid Rice picking up. It's just, you know, whereas the Ravens
- 3:57have been consistent all year long, but then they get to the biggest games
- 4:01and they don't. They're ill equipped in a game plan that quite frankly,
- 4:06you know, gave them. They gave them very little chance to win,
- 4:10and they still had opportunities. I thought they were undisciplined. I thought they
- 4:14got frustrated. I thought they made way too many mistakes. They had three
- 4:16turnovers, but they didn't play well from a sideline standpoint and on the field
- 4:21standpoint, and the Chiefs Experience Show then coaching shows
