Can ANYONE Compete With The Chiefs? | AFC West Preview

all right you guys ready let's do it rock and roll a little more energy in your voice pretend you're calling a play in the Huddle little Pizzazz that's why none of my plays worked at Washington that's why you call plays in the Huddle just kind of a little more excitement remember little excitement make every play sound like it's the best play you ever called that's right what's up guys got the whole crew back together clean pocket AQ Shipley Justin Pew Coach Jay Gruden we're going to dive into some teams in the AFC the core of what made Shawn Payton successful they don't have any of it they've got some dudes Patrick Mahomes if they go 8 N I will personally fly down and give you a full body massage let's start with the AFC West been dominated by the Chiefs they've won eight straight little bit of drama there this offseason right receivers getting in trouble they've added a couple new speed guys like what are the chief going to have to do to remain on top I mean from my perspective they got the best player in football right now they struggled at the receiver position added some pieces where we think they are so for me I think obviously they need to just continue to get better weapons I mean they won it last year not because of their receivers they want it in spite of their receivers they want it in spite of a couple pieces on the offensive line because they have two guys that are just better than and their defense play their defense played rul that's exactly right so in order for them to continue to stay on top now they're not going to get all the bounces they're not going to get all the breaks they're not going to have the same luck and injuries right and so when that happens now you're going to have to add pieces and you know Andy's smart and they're they're going to do a great job there they went out and got a receiver in the first round they're going to have to get some pieces on the offensive line which they did so they they they took the measures they needed to to continue to stay on top we'll just see if they get the same balances and the same breaks and the same luck that they have I mean you speak about luck but also they went on the road to Baltimore to Buffalo they won games on the road this year it shows you that Patrick Mahomes is by far the best player in the NFL but you also got to give a shout out to Andy Reid and V the GM he is constantly putting Talent around those guys I mean you look at the the defensive side of the ball you got guys making plays and you're like wait where do they find senson where do they find or or uh Chris Jones I mean well Chris Jones they knew who he was but McDuffy I mean you have let's goes on and on you look at the offensive line you got Creed humph Trey Smith was like a fifth or sixth rounder so V has done an unbelievable job all this despite ownership not spending really any money on the Chiefs just goes to show you how good that Trio is of V Reed momes Mahomes higher or lower 4,300 pass yards this year especially with the additions of worthy Hollywood Brown you know still got Travis Kelce right shorted up their offensive line a little bit what do we think higher that's as simple as that I mean I am I am going to Patrick Mahomes it's higher it's higher add some rash rice he how long is he going to be suspended for you got two dudes that can burn on the outside that kind of come in have that Tyreek Hill you know fill in so it's got to be higher I'm going lower just to be different I think the Chiefs actually are at their best when they run the ball pcho I really do and I I know Patrick's Patrick he's going to make a ton of great plays that not any not every quarterback can make but this is a physical football team and they rely on that and Pacho when they started to make their run at the end of the year was playing very well yeah and I think that he's going to have another big year um they will take some shots obviously the speed they have with Hollywood and obviously worthy they got Rashid Rice's a big player the question mark is big for them because he emerges really a really good receiver physical the shallow crosses all that that's not worthy style that's not Hollywood Brown Style no those guys aren't going to run shallow crosses now sit down in zone and catch SPL the safety in the linebacker now they need the physical presence out there so I'm worried about that so when I find out about his status maybe I'll go higher but uh until then I'm going lower because I think uh Pacho is the guy higher lower 34 a half pass touchdowns 34 and a half 17 games that's two a game see good I did that M my own University of Louisville Andy Reed does such a good job of scheming around the goal line Red Zone um I'll probably go higher than that cuz they run all those little bubble screens and the little flat leads and all that stuff opposite yeah and entry points and all that he'll get he'll get one or two of those every two weeks so yeah I'll go higher than that I'll go higher too I I I agree I think Andy looks at those those little bubble screens the short pass game as an extension of the Run game and if he's down at the four five three whatever you're going to see all those little rpos just like you saw in the game winner in the Super Bowl and those are passing t a bubble screen to Kelsey to get to the one and then they run the the little yeah zigzag play to Hardman for the touch I watched the Chiefs a bunch last year and what I like about their offense is that they run all the same plays in all different Personnel groups so they can call a play and be have the capability to run out of 11 12 13 they just plug and play guys and so everybody gets feel for all the plays right and if somebody goes down they just step right in this the play Playbook is you know very good and structured but everybody's not learning all these crazy plays right and when you watch it on tape you just see the same stuff showing up with different guys doing it Las Vegas Raiders hired a new coach Antonio Pierce kind of did good at the end of the year right they brought in Gardner menu kind of have two quarterbacks May the best man win obviously still have Devonte Adams one of the best receivers in the game where where do we feel you know are the Raiders going to push the Chiefs in any way this year no the answer is no it starts with their quarterbacks right like I don't think they did enough to improve there they're sticking with their two guys that they I mean they obviously got muu but Aiden oconnell who was average at best last year that's the guy they're kind of riding with obviously they bring in mchu who can who can give him a different Dynamic but you know listen it's a it's a one horse race at the top and the other three are trying to chase it and you're starting to see it like even in the way that all those other three teams drafted it's like how can we keep up with these guys offensively they went offense with Brock Bowers in the first they went and got uh some pieces to improve their offensive line I just don't think they have enough talent I really don't I think they made the right move with the head coach and I think they're going to try and exemplify his personality his tenacity his grit all that stuff but they just don't have enough Talent the way I see it is they're they're building for the future here if they would have gone out and reach or traded up given away a bunch of assets to go up and get one of these quarterbacks who were not even sure how they're going to pan out I hate that yeah you know My Philosophy build through the defense and offensive line Aidan okono will go out there g m Gardner mench you can come in and play football but if you don't have talent around those guys in general and have a good foundation you're screwed yeah you're try of Chase the Chiefs let's let them come back down to earth a little bit Chiefs got some aging players build for the future and I think that's exactly what the Raiders did yeah they they got problems you know they got a new coach new coordinators they lost their best player other than obviously Devonte Adams Josh Jacob is a good player now and they're going to replace him with who zamir white Alexander Madison right that's a step down in my opinion yeah and for them to be good they got to play physical football and run the football I don't think those are the guys guys that can carry the load for him so that's a problem they got two good tight ends now Bowers a mayor they drafted mayor last year so that's a good sign for them take a little pressure off Devonte but they're not good enough to beat you through the air now they're not good enough to beat you on the ground they're not good enough defensively you get enough stops so this team I think will be drafting a top five next year I think they're building for that you know what I mean I feel like they're not like how build to draft top five here we go I'll tell you how you you just don't give them the talent to succeed you look at what the teams do they're trying their best they're trying to injur as a quarterback so they didn't go out and sign a quarterback so it's like hey we're not sign muu million bucks yeah he's not the answer for the future you think he is he might be give him a chance ad conell might be he only played a year so let them go find out we're not giving them a full tool in the toolbox I'm just disappointed they let Josh Jacobs go for nothing and and uh they didn't really you know they didn't go out get Derek Henry they went out and got they got zamir white and Alexander Madison which is befuddling to me cuz it's a very important position I know people don't count the running back as an important position but for a team like the Raiders who have a Young quarterback whether it's mchu or okell they got to be able to hand the ball off yeah and I'd like for them to get a back that can car they can run the football they can find ways to get Devonte Adams the ball he's the best player on their team right I like the addition of Brock Bowers taking him where they took him in the draft right they got two good tight ends two years in a row like those guys are going to be good players that'll help but if they can block you know I don't know if Bowers is a good block or not that's the key for him he's got to be able to block a little bit um because they'll just treat him as a wide receiver Let's Play Nickel every time he's out there you know but if he can block and force some teams to play some base defense now he can really stretch him vertically he'll be he'll be something to deal with if they can do that Denver Broncos right big storyline here take a quarterback with the 12th pick in the draft Bo Knicks Jay I mean do you think this guy's going to be successful do you think he's going to play right out of the gates yeah I think he's going to have to to they got a try he's 26 I mean it's not like he's going to 25 26 yeah he he's probably going to play you know STM did some good things they went out got Zach Wilson which you know the one thing you don't want to do if you're Shawn pton is have a three-way competition in Camp because the guys don't get enough reps B Knicks will not a chance be ready if that's the case if they're going to name B next to starter they got to do it now he's got to get every single rep and other guys can fend for themselves for the scraps right they got to get bonck ready right now because Sea's offense is pretty diverse in what they do Personnel groupings uh pass Concepts even the Run game but I think Denver was not very good throwing the football last year at Russell Wilson right so I just don't know if their quarterbacks will be ready but they're going to have to rely on the running backs that they have but glofin and obviously Williams those are good backs and they're have to run the ball I didn't do the worst team in the AFC West there there's there's nothing when I look at the the Broncos there's nothing that pops out and I'm like wow I'm nervous about playing those guys this week Bo Knicks I think we'd be talking a whole lot more about Bo Knicks if Michael pennick didn't go eight in the draft about how high he he went it was a buyers remorse Market where the the Broncos probably reached a little bit for B Knicks I thought he was probably going to go late in the first round I think all three of those quarterbacks really I mean if you just pulled a name out of the hat and said this is our starter you'd probably feel about the same right now going into the season yeah wouldn't you st them did some decent things and Zach has really never had a great opportunity out there just work with Shawn Payton might help a little bit and then obviously a rookie like Bo Knicks I mean just I don't really feel good about any one of the three and if you don't feel good about that position you got problems there agree you got major problems don't you Colt you big problems I mean the Circ is kind of left toal though the whole Russell Wilson thing it's all you could talk about so finally they've moved on from that at least they're like putting a Band-Aid on it here we go we're moving on so at least that they're moving in the right direction but they're just going to get clobbered this year you know my hot take is I think we might see a little bit of Zach Wilson this year who knows right Fresh Start Right never really got it all figured out the Jets gets with Shawn P my issue is I love Vance Joseph on defense and the defense kept him in a bunch of games last year and I think their defense will be all right but it's more like who are these guys throwing to you say you want to pick a quarterback out of the hat right they drafted Troy Franklin from from Oregon right speed guy but they've just been pretty inconsistent they traded Jerry Judy right you know what's crazy about this offense sea pton when he was at New Orleans right had a huge tight end presence right yeah Adam Troutman runs like a 48 right he's not a tight end presence they had a huge running back out of the backfield presence they don't really javante and and mlin and samj pet rine are more Runners not pass catchers so I'm surprised that he hasn't addressed that they loved Michael Thomas in the slot working working the option routes they don't have that courin Sutton's not that guy Josh Reynold's not that guy right Troy Franklin's not that guy so they don't have that guy either so the core of what made Shawn Payton successful they don't have any of it at Denver it's it's just a weird uh Dynamic the way he's put this team together being a second year or third year whatever it is there's they just don't have any Talent that's what's crazy about this division is when you know you have the Chiefs at the top of the division and nobody went out and made major moves to go get guys yeah you reach and you steal somebody at 12 or so you say steal I mean like you said like any of these three guys like you're not super comfortable with saying hey we're going to go win a bunch of games like they lost their starting center they didn't go make a ton of moves on the I mean I just don't know what they're doing out there I really don't but they don't have a way to get the ball easy completions like when Drew played at New Orleans think about the easy completions he had to and and Michael Michael Thomas and Jimmy Graham yeah I mean these I mean not they're not easy don't get me wrong but they don't have any one of those yeah they don't have that offensive line either line great I don't know where they're going to manufacture the easy plays for the quarterback that's the thing other than maybe a bubble screen perimeter screen things like that but they just don't have the the people to fit Shawn's offense moving on to the Chargers new head coach Jim Harbaugh hired Greg Roman as his offensive coordinator I I love Herbert's game he can make any throw he's he's a competitor he Battles Through injuries right but it's a shift from what Kell Moore and the Chargers offensively look like last year to what they're going to look like this year do you two guys think that up front at the Chargers they're built to be a run first team no and I also don't think the guy that they drafted fifth overall is like just your road grader he's not what Harbaugh had in San Fran with yepati Boone Anthony Davis Staley Goodwin right like that was a merer group and you know he does not have that group right now but what I do think is you got arguably a top three quarterback in the league talent wise right and what they've been doing hasn't worked right and so you bring in Greg Roman you take a little pressure off of him instead of trying to make him make all these Superman throws and win it he's going to be a much better football player in this offense and I think they'll be a better team because of it now you start looking at how the Chiefs are built they're scoring points they're doing all these things there's a shift in the NFL going on right now we'll get to the NFC West later on but that punch him in the mouth style is kind of making a comeback you start getting small offensive linemen and you're airing out running these no huddle offenses that pretty boy football that we know and they dubbed us when we were in Arizona you're starting to see this like Slug It we're going to run the ball we're going to out tough you football that's what Harbaugh is bringing to to La it's probably not the prettiest you know you think of La you don't think of just you know grinding it out running the ball but that's what Harbaugh's going to do he's going to play great defense it's going to affect Herbert he's not going to be throwing the ball as much he's going to be run first do you think the Chargers o line with the addition of alt is is built for this uh no I don't yet but I mean there's a possibility listen they drafted they they drafted joal fifth overall he's the most NFL ready offensive line by far that we watched technically physically he's kind of got it all but he's not a merer he's he's your new age tackle right he's built to pass protect and he's going to be great at that um they got Cory Lindley still at Center stud but he's been banged up a lot recently they got guys and they got the pieces to run Greg Roman's offense it's just whether or not they have enough Talent besides you know just the offensive line and I don't think they do and across the board not just that Joe all is in the mall moving him he was a left tackle primarily in college moving him to right tackle I did that and again I made this comparison it's like wiping your ass with the other hand you're going to get the job done it's going to be a little bit messy and I don't love spending a pick that high and then playing him out of position that's one of the things ran Slater's over there he's not like a you know a merer either they're all that offensive line Cory lindley's not a massive guy either Jay like lad makon going to be their best receiver got Quinton Johnson last year uh they don't only have a tight end presence they got will disley I I I don't know you know they were 28th in the League last year running the football you know not that they didn't try they had Austin Eckler he had some injuries right um I don't know where they're going to go you know you're not going to just be able to run the ball because you're Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman just because he has some cool run checks yeah you're going to have to block the point of attack Hayden Hurst going to have to come in and block he's another tight end offensive line if they're not big powerful guys and they got to run some outside zones try to get on a perimeter but then you're going to see a lot of eight-man fronts they're going to see guys in the boxes the receivers aren't going to scare anybody yeah right I agree Johnson's not going to scare anybody yeah so you're going to these guys the NFL's not stupid they're line up in cover two and say okay run your Duo play in your outside Zone your three tight end sets and and beat us up it's not going to happen yeah they're going to have to throw the ball and they have a great quarterback I know that but I'm just concerned about the weapons they have they got JK doin running back um they're going to eventually be in third and eight and when that happens who they going to they lose Keenan Allen lost Mike Williams lose Mike Williams Ian these are two good players they they missed some time last year I get it but I just don't think they replace them with good enough players so I'm worried about the Chargers I know Jim's a great coach and Roman's a good offensive coach but I just don't know if their personality matches the Personnel that they have right now so based on that Herbert higher or lower 3600 pass yards next year lower just just based on volume he's not going they don't have anybody to throw it to yeah dizle Hurst Quinton Johnson well we're gonna find out you spend two high Pi but I mean Cony yeah I mean he's good Quinton Johnson I think he's got some weapons out there Johnson I read on PFF was the most covered receiver in the NFL last year as far as 65 lack of Separation throw that thing up to him yeah the AFC West to me is is other than the Chiefs is is really going to struggle in my opinion I think if you're playing out of conference team if you're in the NFC you want the AFC West take one on a chin against the Chiefs I'll go three to one in that that's right I agree [Music]
