From the land of the free and the home of the chiefs, this is the

locked on chiefs podcast. And it's been a while but we are lucky enough to get

Eric eager back. Everybody say hi Eric, how are you doing?

I'm doing well man, how are you doing? I'm doing well man how about you?

I'm enjoying this season the ups and downs it's not very boring but I think since we last spoke

you got yourself a promotion to senior data analyst for BFF. Is that any more fun or just more numbers to crunch?

Just more work.

It seems the way it always goes.

Yeah.

And there's more and more all the time.

And I'm really interested to see your take from your perspective on how these chiefs

have done to this point.

I think clearly the offense hasn't lived up to what we saw last year and what expectations were. But I wonder, can you expand on what you see the dropoff is in certain sectors and whether you're concerned about it?

I mean I think overall I'm more you know positive about this team in general just

because their defenses played well and they played well against the schedule of the league's

hardest opponents. That being said on offense they struggled a little bit just

because for a few reasons. I think some of them are reassuring for Chiefs fans in

that their folks are coming back, right?

So they've struggled because Eric Fisher missed a lot of time.

They struggle because Tyri Kills missed a decent amount of time.

Sammy Watkins, as well as Laurent du Renee Tardif and so on and so forth.

So they've had guys out of Patrick Mahomes, chief among them.
