Welcome back, Chiefs Kingdom. I know you're throwing things right now and it's perfectly acceptable to do so.

We appreciate you making us your first listen today, even though this one's going to hurt.

We're going to get into the positives. Yes, there actually are some. We're going to talk about where they go from here and how could they even try to get this ship pointed in the right direction. Welcome to lockdown chiefs. From the land of the free and the home of the chiefs, this is the

locked on chiefs podcast.

Mr Matt Derek is here from Cheese Digest.com.

How are you Matt?

I'm probably better than a lot of Cheese Fans right now.

I mean...

I have to think so.

I had a good lunch. I mean mean I'll lean on that I got the love of a cat that's you know sitting here with me right now so

Try and try and focus on the fault positive in life right guys yeah there are a couple somewhere right Chris sure I'm not even kidding I do want to focus on a couple of them right off the bat and that is because of I think how much they stayed in the base defense this week

You got a glimpse of what Nick Bolton can actually be I thought he played his best game as a chief.

I thought they allowed him to do what he does best, which is playing forward and downhill.

I wish they would have actually blitched him actually a little bit more rather than letting him read but he made several plays I what was it three

TFLs Matt I mean is this is the Bolton that you were hoping to see right?

Oh this was exactly the the dream if you're the chiefs that this is exactly what you thought you were getting and hoped you were getting.

A guy who could eventually become the leader of that defense in the middle is the Mike linebacker and the future may be sooner than we think. I mean originally

2022 was the plan for Nick Bolton but after today especially against the

opponent I mean Bolton had what 15 total tackles.

Derek Hendry goes 29 for 86.

I mean and give, I mean once again,

15 tackles, give the credit to Nick Bolton for that.
