From Chiefs Chants, Cheap Rants, Shoulds & Shants To Hot Pants

If you haven’t gotten the chance to listen to (and see) the miracle that is Arrowhead Addict’s Radio show you’re missing out big time. If you love the Chiefs, and I think you do, you don’t want to miss the most recent show which is still available right here on AA. This week’s show was hosted by our own Jason Seibel with guests, editor Andrew Kulha, Kris Kilduff and long time AA writer and rap star Stacy Smith. I hope I’m not giving anything away by saying that in this episode of AA Radio Andrew Kulha predicts just how the Chiefs will be in first place all by themselves… by the end of this weekend. And no, it doesn’t have anything to do with an earthquake in Denver. Just listen to AA Radio… you might even want to take your wallet to Vegas after you do.

The score was tied 7 to 7. The Raiders had the ball on their own 18 yard line. It was 3rd and 13 to go for a first down and there was 4:05 left in the third quarter. Terrelle Pryor was in the shotgun formation and dropped straight back to pass and with Eric Berry coming free and pressuring Pryor up the middle, Tamba Hali coming free around the edge, DJ was coming free up the middle too and Justin Houston was arriving to the party before anyone else… as Pryor just kept fading back, he released the ball as he was coming off his back foot around the 6 yard line. The ball almost looked like a pop fly in baseball but a review of the Chiefs suture tight man coverage showed there was no one for Pryor to throw the ball to but, he was attempting to get the ball to #80 Rod Streater. Streater saw the ball was underthrown and was trying to come back for it. Like every other RB and WR… Streater was being blanketed by 2 of the Chiefs DBs, although it seemed like 20, and Quintin Demps jumped high to cradle the ball into this chest at the Raiders 32 and then return it to the 24 giving the Chiefs the field position that allowed them to drive in for a touchdown.

Everyone did their job on that play. It seemed to typify the Chiefs efforts this season thus far. It’s not just the “stars” who are playing well this year. The team has been constructed so solidly that when the stars are doing their thing and that doesn’t produce a big play for themselves, their efforts force the opposition to attempt to make a play, which in turn, opens the door for the Chiefs “non-stars” to make a big play, which they have been doing plenty of. It’s all for one and one for all.

It’s just as Hillary Clinton once said about what it takes to raise a child in this country, “It takes a village.” The Chiefs “Village People” defense has spoken. And they’re being heard around the world.
