Regeln » Chiefs vs. Broncos: What they’re saying It’s Week 4 an

d the Kansas City Chiefs are looking to extend their win streak to four (!) at Mile High stadium on Monday night against the Denver Broncos. Here’s what head coach Vance Joseph and star linebacker Von Miller had to say about the red hot Chiefs offense Eric Murray Jersey , Patrick Mahomes and more: Vance JosephDenny Medley-USA TODAY SportsOn his time playing with Eric Bieniemy at the University of Colorado: “He was a fearless competitor,” Joseph said on his former teammate. “To watch him become a coordinator, I’m not surprised. He was the guy that worked his butt off every day and he’s always had a high football IQ. He’s as tough as anyone I’ve ever played with and he was always the guy that knew the game in-and-out. He was great on third down in the back and was a core-teamer. He’s just always been a good football mind.”On Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes:“First of all, he’s playing really good football,” Joseph said confidently. “It’s going to be a great challenge for us to try and contain this offense. What makes him hard is that he’s got special arm talent, but he’s got weapons around him.” His arm talent, his confidence with those skill guys, along with coach Reid and coach Bieniemy’s offensive concepts — that makes it difficult. On Andy Reid and Eric Bieniemy’s offensive genius:“When they’re in three lines it’s like watching a Chip Kelly Oregon team,” Joseph said. “They’ve got some of those concepts and some Navy concepts and some double wing stuff. So, it’s really difficult to get ready for a team like this along with trying to find a matchup and then match the matchups.”On preparing for Mahomes: “I think yeah, we have a full game on him, but when you watch those games they’re a lot different,” Joseph said on Mahomes’ performance last year against Denver. “Now, having an entire spring and training camp, I think they’re back to full throttle. They’ve got a lot of offense so in no way last year was he operating on that much offense.”And preparing for that dangerous offensive line: “They have a lot of coach Reid’s old West Coast NFL pro style concepts along with this new RPO stuff and that makes it difficult because it’s really two different offenses Kendall Fuller Jersey ,” Joseph said. “You have to have a plan for both and be able to identify both. With Reid’s personnel, he can flip flop in and out of that stuff with that same personnel. So, we’ve got a challenge ahead of us to identify again what they’re doing and playing fast to match their speed.”On the key to Denver’s success: “We have to come out and throw fast and play our best football early,” Joseph said on how to beat the Chiefs. “As far as the QB they haven’t spent much time in third down so we have to do a good job of winning first and second down. We have to get them to third down so we can run our guys free and rush the passer. You can’t beat this team without scoring points. It’s going to take a total team effort and for us to play well in all three phases to win this football game.”Von Miller Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY SportsOn Mahomes in last year’s game:“He was great,” Miller stated. “From that game, you could tell he’s going to be the future. He’s a great quarterback, makes a lot of throws, quick, athletic, he has everything you’d want.”On going up against RT Mitchell Schwartz: “He’s dynamic, strong, he’s got everything you want from a tackle,” Miller said on his infamous opponent. “I’m a fan of the game and I know great players. Mitch is a great player. it’s funny how you get three All-Pros and no Pro Bowls. I’ve got a lot of respect for him and whenever I get the opportunity to switch jerseys with him you know I’m gonna.”On Chiefs players to watch on offense:“They’ve got Sammy Watkins this year and they’ve upgraded the receiver position,” Miller said. “It kind of looks like Sammy is Patrick’s favorite target so they’ve got some chemistry there and it looks like on film that he wants to go to Sammy most of the time.” This long saga may be close to the end — and when it’s done, the Raiders may be back in Oakland for 2019"First Sammy Watkins Jersey , the Oakland Raiders decided to move to Las Vegas.They got the NFL to sign off on the deal and wheels began turning on building a new $2 billion dollar state-of-the-art stadium on 62 acres at the south end of the Las Vegas Strip — less than a mile from the runways of McCarran International Airport.(If you’ve ever been to the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, you’ll know that the Raiders will feel right at home with the smell of jet fuel in the air).But there has always been this one tiny little problem: the new stadium under the landing pattern at McCarran won’t be ready until 2020 — that is, if everything goes according to plan — and the Raiders’ lease at the Coliseum only extended through the 2018 season.That leaves the Raiders homeless for 2019.Normally, this would be the kind of thing you’d expect an NFL team to have figured out before they started digging holes in prime Las Vegas real estate.But then again, we’re talking about the Oakland/Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders.They can’t even stop an enterprising Kansas City Chiefs fan from burying a Chiefs Kingdom flag underneath the site of their new stadium.As the final month of the 2018 NFL season got underway, the Raiders owner Mark Davis still hadn’t made arrangements for a place for the team to play their home games in 2019. Davis presumably felt that there was still plenty of time to work out a deal with the city of Oakland to stay in the Coliseum for another season — something that he had said the Raiders planned to do when the NFL approved the deal 21 months earlier.The city, however, had a different idea.In early December, Oakland filed an antitrust suit against the Raiders and the NFL.“The Raiders’ illegal move lines the pockets of NFL owners and sticks Oakland, its residents, taxpayers and dedicated fans with the bill,” said a statement from Oakland city attorney Barbara Parker. “The purpose of this lawsuit is to hold the defendants accountable and help to compensate Oakland for the damages the defendants’ unlawful actions have caused and will cause to the people of Oakland.”Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty ImagesThat’s the kind of thing you might say when you want any ongoing negotiations to break down — and it worked.The Raiders walked away from the table, which began a wild string of reports about where the Raiders might play in 2019.San Diego, California, San Antonio Anthony Hitchens Jersey , Texas and Reno, Nevada were mentioned as possible cities where the Raiders might find a temporary home.Officials in Santa Clara, California — home of Levis Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers play — were reported to be working out plans to share their facility with the Raiders, but apparently the Raiders weren’t interested.In late December, there was a report that other NFL owners were suggesting to Davis that the Raiders play their home games in London.Less than three weeks ago, there was a report that the Raiders had made a deal to use San Francisco’s Oracle Park — home field of the San Francisco Giants — but that deal evaporated as quickly as it appeared.The 49ers — who under NFL rules, can keep any other team from playing within their territory — were reported to be unwilling to approve the deal, and San Francisco officials made it clear they didn’t want the Raiders playing there.Simultaneously, another wild proposal surfaced — this one that the Raiders share their home schedule between stadiums in Tucson, Arizona and Birmingham, Alabama.It is still unclear whether the two gentlemen from Tucson and Birmingham who proposed that scheme were actually speaking on behalf of their respective cities.But you still have to love the idea of the Ala-zona Raiders.Right about the same time, the Raiders and the city of Oakland were apparently getting back to the negotiating table.On Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the two sides have solved “all the major issues,” and are finalizing an agreement where the Raiders will lease the Coliseum for $7.5 million in 2019 Mitchell Schwartz Jersey , and $10.5 million in 2020 if the stadium in Las Vegas isn’t completed on time.If those figures are accurate, that’s quite an achievement for Oakland.In a November ESPN interview, Davis balked at the idea of even paying $5 million as yearly rent in the Coliseum, since the city was threatening to sue the Raiders.Photo by Robert B. Stanton/NFLPhotoLibrary“Emotionally, I would say, why would I give them $3 (million), $4 (million), $5 million in rent that they’re going to turn around and use to sue me?” Davis told ESPN. “But, at the same time, if they’ll have us, I can’t turn on the fans. I can’t do it. And this is terrible negotiating I’m doing now. I’m going to get killed. But that’s just the way I am.”The Chronicle’s report said that an announcement of the new lease could be made this week or next, and quoted Coliseum Authority board member Chris Dobbins as saying that there is a “better than 50-50 shot” the deal will be completed.Those are better odds than you can usually get in Las Vegas.If they hold, this 90-day carnival sideshow will come to an end right where it started: in Oakland’s Black Hole.
