kind of rolling through getting healthy for the most part except for one standout question.

But it's got to start with a win right now if you want to try to catch the chargers and get caught up you got to dominate the

aFC west and it starts with these raiders can they do it yes we're going to tell you how

then we're going to get to the must win matchups who has to have individual performances that get

them that w and who could be the outliers, the X factors, along with our predictions that's coming up later in the show. Welcome in.

And we do this all the time, no matter what, it's been nine years on this show. We both covered this team for going on 13 plus. So we've been around the block a few times. And if you happen to catch our squad shows, you see a lot of people with a lot of different points of view, but it's always going to come back to the most comprehensive look at this team that you're going to find on any podcast anywhere on

any channel, video, or audio, or otherwise. So we get started right now, and it's always fun,

the Raiders week. It's been an interesting group. We had a nice conversation with Q last night.

If you guys missed that, go check out the crossover from yesterday.

I think a pretty honest preview on his part of what needs to happen. And for me, this is just about

the Chiefs maintaining their mental focus and bringing their A game to an opponent that, honestly,

after the first quarter, should not be hanging in there. You got to keep that hammer down. You got to make sure that you're playing your best no matter what the opponent does. I agree with that. And I think it's going to be interesting to see how this shakes out. You talked about very early on in this intro that they have a one outstanding injury. And that is, actually, we don't even know if it's an injury.

Yeah. Well, we don't know what it is, to be quite honest. Still no updates on Josh Simmons.

I do want to throw that out there because I know people are asking, we'll let you know as soon as we hear something, but there's no, nothing to update us of right now.

So it's Jalen Moore is going to be the starter, your left tackle.

And I will say this, how brilliant does Brett Beach look right now?
