00:00:02,960 –> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: This is the Chief’s official podcast network, taking dantage on

2
00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: the day. When you get opportunity in this game, you

3
00:00:09,440 –> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: they can play touchdown Kansas City the Chiefs. All right,

4
00:00:17,239 –> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: in the thick of a baby, all right, our second

5
00:00:23,760 –> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: chapter of Defending the Kingdom. And now we’re gonna talk

6
00:00:26,920 –> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: about everybody’s favorite subject, and that is Patrick Mahomes because Barbershop,

7
00:00:33,240 –> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: here’s a deal. This kid is with the National Football

8
00:00:37,440 –> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: agam VP, but he has captured the hearts and minds

9
00:00:40,680 –> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: not only the Chief’s Kingdom, it’s really the entire league

10
00:00:44,240 –> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: and beyond that. I mean, this guy has captivated the

11
00:00:47,440 –> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: imagination of the world right now, at least the football world.

12
00:00:50,880 –> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: I gotta believe he’s one of the top three and

13
00:00:53,360 –> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: probably in all of sports. When you call talking about

14
00:00:55,560 –> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 1: social media, you’re talking about followers, Instagram, tweets, everybody. Every

15
00:01:00,280 –> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: time I see a Twitter with his face beside it,

16
00:01:02,560 –> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: I’m reading exactly what he’s saying word for word. He’s

17
00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: everybody is hanging on to every comment, every word, anytime

18
00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: he replies to anything that happens. Even in other sports.

19
00:01:11,880 –> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: It seems to be one of the top trending posts

20
00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to social media. So he has everybody’s

21
00:01:18,120 –> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: ear right now, and I know the Kingdom is so

22
00:01:20,440 –> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: excited that he’s our quarterback. It’s pretty crazy. I’ve been

23
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: with at public events with him this spring and it

24
00:01:29,840 –> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: feels like I’m at I don’t know what Tiger Woods

25
00:01:32,920 –> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: in the prime right at Augusta. That’s what it feels like.

26
00:01:36,280 –> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: His popularity is crazy. I mean when you look at

27
00:01:39,920 –> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: him as a football player last year, the stats and

28
00:01:42,840 –> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: I’m not going to nerd out on these stats, but

29
00:01:45,440 –> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: they’re phenomenal. I mean you look at the yards per

30
00:01:47,440 –> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: attempts we all know, touchdowns over the interceptions ratio, his

31
00:01:52,000 –> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: quarterback rating, but the best in the league. And first

32
00:01:54,200 –> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: offensive possessions at sixty nine points. Oh, he did it,

33
00:01:57,280 –> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: first offensive possessions in the second half at seventy three

34
00:01:59,800 –> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: point on. I mean, the legitimacy of this guy is

35
00:02:03,760 –> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: and he doesn’t seem like a one year flash in

36
00:02:05,680 –> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: the pan. And it’s twofold because you talk about how

37
00:02:09,120 –> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: he has the stats, but he has his stats as

38
00:02:11,360 –> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: a young guy, not a whole bunch of NFL experience.

39
00:02:15,040 –> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: He’s been playing football all his life. Definitely comes from

40
00:02:18,120 –> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: a pedigree of having professional you know, from his father

41
00:02:20,480 –> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So he knows how to hand

42
00:02:22,560 –> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: himselves professionally. But when you talk about on the field,

43
00:02:25,280 –> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: the actual snaps under center in the shotgun on an

44
00:02:29,360 –> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: NFL NFL levels, he’s pretty much a young guy. But

45
00:02:35,919 –> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: he’s performing like the best of the best in all

46
00:02:38,840 –> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: the scenarios and all the situations. He’s coming through with

47
00:02:41,880 –> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: some of the most the most captivating highlights. The left hand,

48
00:02:46,720 –> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: the fifty yard bomb, the no look past. He’s redefining

49
00:02:49,760 –> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: the position of quarterback, and he’s doing it with such

50
00:02:53,240 –> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: a humble demeanor. Um, I have a chance to get

51
00:02:57,360 –> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: my hair cut with him at the same barber shop.

52
00:02:59,120 –> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: We go to Purple Label ball shop and to see

53
00:03:01,320 –> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: us sitting in the back, he comes through everybody’s at all.

54
00:03:04,520 –> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: He comes to the back of the barbershop and ask

55
00:03:06,480 –> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: my kids, Hey, what’s your favorite subject in school? My

56
00:03:08,960 –> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: kids talked to him a little bit. Hey, Barbara, let’s

57
00:03:11,240 –> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: take a picture with you and your kids together real quick.

58
00:03:12,880 –> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: Da da da dah. To see that kind of I’m

59
00:03:16,440 –> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I’m I’m just a normal person in a great situation,

60
00:03:20,480 –> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: and see how humbly is about it. Knowing that this

61
00:03:23,040 –> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: guy’s the MVP of the NFL, one of the top

62
00:03:27,120 –> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the league, and he, you know, on

63
00:03:30,200 –> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: average days, just the average guy and getting his haircut

64
00:03:33,000 –> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: and you’re please don’t tell everybody when that haircut time is,

65
00:03:36,480 –> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: because honestly, there’ll be five thousand people outside that barbershop.

66
00:03:41,280 –> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: That’s what I’ve seen, so the barbershop in the barbershop,

67
00:03:43,560 –> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: which I think it’s kind of cool for you, but

68
00:03:46,400 –> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: I’ve seen that too. I’ve seen how grounded he is.

69
00:03:48,640 –> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I think his mom’s awesome, but there’s something to be

70
00:03:52,240 –> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: said about this kid white House, Texas or white House

71
00:03:54,720 –> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: High School and Tyler and then going to Texas Tech.

72
00:03:56,800 –> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: He didn’t go to Alabama, didn’t go to USC or

73
00:03:58,720 –> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: use CLA or Notre Dame or one of those. He

74
00:04:01,360 –> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: went to Texas Tech. And I just think that’s framed

75
00:04:03,400 –> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: him very well. But now the bazillion dollar question, and

76
00:04:06,560 –> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: I get it ask almost every day publicly and privately,

77
00:04:09,640 –> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: is well, now what now? What does he do? I mean,

78
00:04:12,240 –> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: the NFL is full of one hit wonders that just

79
00:04:14,600 –> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: slide away. So what do you think here of where

80
00:04:20,800 –> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: he goes from here? Before before we do that, I

81
00:04:22,680 –> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: had a chance to pull him aside. It’s hard to

82
00:04:24,480 –> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: get one on ones with Patrick anymore, just because of

83
00:04:28,200 –> 00:04:30,679
Speaker 1: the demand that’s on him. But I had a shot

84
00:04:30,720 –> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: at that and we had just to just talk ball.

85
00:04:33,960 –> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: So I asked him, and what’s the next step? I

86
00:04:38,400 –> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: got to ask every day about us and about this,

87
00:04:42,040 –> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: like now what And when people say okay, next step,

88
00:04:46,040 –> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: next level? Now what kind of a global question, what’s

89
00:04:49,040 –> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: your answer? Yeah? I mean, obviously the next step would

90
00:04:52,160 –> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: be the super Bowl. We were so close to this

91
00:04:53,960 –> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: last season of getting there, and that’s ultimately go every

92
00:04:57,080 –> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: single year. And so for us, it’s about getting better

93
00:04:59,560 –> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: each and every day. I mean, it’s a it’s a

94
00:05:01,520 –> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: big goal, but you if you keep improving each and

95
00:05:03,440 –> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: every day, you can try to try to get better

96
00:05:05,680 –> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: and get better and hopefully you get to that that

97
00:05:07,480 –> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: sort of blow winning. All right, So he’s talking about

98
00:05:11,440 –> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: getting better each and every day. But when you think

99
00:05:13,920 –> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: about Patrick mahomes next step forward? What do you see? Think?

100
00:05:19,160 –> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: What’s where’s your go from here? And I’m gonna treat

101
00:05:21,240 –> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: Pat like he says, like everything else, he wants to

102
00:05:23,279 –> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: be treated like every other person, So I’m gonna treat

103
00:05:25,200 –> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: him like every other player. How do you define the

104
00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: next level for an NFL player who’s playing at the

105
00:05:29,440 –> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: highest level. How do you define the next level for

106
00:05:32,839 –> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: any player on the Chiefs team, Well, it starts with

107
00:05:35,960 –> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: defining the position. You got to define what is the

108
00:05:38,560 –> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: next level for a guy who just now had an

109
00:05:40,560 –> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: MVP season. Fifty touchdowns, five thousand yards? Is it a

110
00:05:44,400 –> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: stats thing? Is it fifty five hundred yards? Is it

111
00:05:48,279 –> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: fifty five touchdowns? When you think about what is really

112
00:05:51,800 –> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: important from a quarterback position, it’s about the win. It’s

113
00:05:55,440 –> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: not about his personal stats. It’s about commanding all the

114
00:05:59,360 –> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: eleven guys on offense to every drive have an opportunity

115
00:06:02,720 –> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: to score touchdowns, field goals. Do whatever you have to do,

116
00:06:06,320 –> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: keep the drive movement, create first down, first down, didn’t touchdown,

117
00:06:10,040 –> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: if not a touchdown, didn’t the field goal, shift the

118
00:06:12,720 –> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: field position so that the other team’s offense has to

119
00:06:16,480 –> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: go eighty ninety yards to go score. All of those

120
00:06:19,680 –> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: things are going through his mind every time the Chiefs

121
00:06:22,040 –> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: have the ball. So he has to define that right.

122
00:06:24,600 –> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: He has to define what it’s gonna be his goals

123
00:06:26,880 –> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: going into the season. And then we talk about what

124
00:06:30,000 –> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 1: does the things that some of the greatest quarterbacks always have.

125
00:06:34,160 –> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: It’s an ability to look at the routes, not the rush,

126
00:06:39,160 –> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: to be able to pay attention to his receivers running

127
00:06:41,839 –> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: their routes versus the coverage, and not about how the

128
00:06:45,279 –> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: other opponent’s defense is rushing him against his protection. And

129
00:06:49,320 –> 00:06:51,679
Speaker 1: I’m seeing that where I’ve heard that. See the routes,

130
00:06:51,760 –> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: feel the rush, Yes, And he said he has the

131
00:06:53,960 –> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: ability to do that, like he’s got some censer around

132
00:06:56,160 –> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: his body where he knows Vin Miller’s coming in a

133
00:06:59,279 –> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: split second, so he goes to the left hand. I mean,

134
00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: it’s it’s he might be the best I’ve ever seen

135
00:07:03,960 –> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: at that. So see the route, feel the rush exactly.

136
00:07:07,279 –> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: We’re going with trust to protection, trust your preparation, but

137
00:07:12,840 –> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: you also have to trust the process. And I think

138
00:07:15,480 –> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: from the hierarchy here in Kansas City, we hear Beach

139
00:07:18,040 –> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: talk about it. We hear Coach Ree talk about it.

140
00:07:20,360 –> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: Trusting the process that’s in the weight room, that’s nutrition,

141
00:07:24,640 –> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: that’s getting the rest, that’s watching the film, that’s doing

142
00:07:27,360 –> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: the studying, and all the little things you have to

143
00:07:29,040 –> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: do to make sure that when you come in every

144
00:07:31,520 –> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: day you’re getting better. It’s something And like I said,

145
00:07:34,760 –> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: that’s not just from a quarterback position. That’s that’s the

146
00:07:36,680 –> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: expectation of every guy in the building. Yeah, we’ve heard

147
00:07:39,840 –> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: people say that as a cliche. Get better every day.

148
00:07:41,960 –> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: People say it coach, I mean every sport, but to

149
00:07:44,560 –> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: really do it, and I honestly think he does it.

150
00:07:46,880 –> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: And he’s got the ability to hyper focus because people

151
00:07:49,480 –> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: are saying, my gosh, he’s doing all this stuff, right,

152
00:07:52,360 –> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: he’s a sports he’s covering mad and then he’s flying here,

153
00:07:55,080 –> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: he’s flying there, he’s on this, he’s on that. I said, yes,

154
00:07:58,200 –> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: but I’ve never seen that deter his foe focus like

155
00:08:00,760 –> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: he is. Like whether it’s OTAs or mandatory manted camp

156
00:08:04,120 –> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: or going into Saint Joe. The cat has the ability

157
00:08:07,440 –> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: to stay locked in when that practice starts. He’s in

158
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: on it and he’s trying to get improved on it.

159
00:08:13,880 –> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: As you were saying, yeah, I mean that’s an endorsement effect, right,

160
00:08:16,760 –> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: That endorsement endorsement effect has it’s going to cost you

161
00:08:20,280 –> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: either to uh force your focus to leave the field,

162
00:08:26,320 –> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: leave what you’re what you’re here to do, because you’re

163
00:08:28,920 –> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: too busy. You’re on planes, you’re signing autographs, you’re you’re

164
00:08:33,080 –> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 1: trying to do community and some of the things are

165
00:08:35,240 –> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: beneficial to community. Sometimes just the community work. The amount

166
00:08:37,920 –> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: of times that there’s only so many babies you can

167
00:08:39,640 –> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 1: kiss out there in the community, there’s only so many

168
00:08:41,520 –> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: hospitals you can go visit. Um, I’m buying you know,

169
00:08:45,000 –> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: a football, cleats for youth, underprivileged program. All those great

170
00:08:48,080 –> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: things you hear guys doing, Um, they do come at

171
00:08:50,600 –> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: a cost. And so it’s a it’s a it’s a

172
00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: it’s a great balancing act between being committed to the

173
00:08:55,520 –> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: community but also being committed to your craft. And that’s

174
00:08:58,880 –> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough thing for this guy to do

175
00:09:00,640 –> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: because so many people can be pulling on him from

176
00:09:02,559 –> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: so many different directions. But like I said, man, he’s

177
00:09:04,840 –> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: been a guy from day one, has been so humble

178
00:09:08,160 –> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: and so confident his confidence in visibilities to get it done.

179
00:09:11,360 –> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: I really, I really can’t wait to see the season

180
00:09:13,760 –> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: take off and barber shop. You know, my question has

181
00:09:16,520 –> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: always been with any interaction I’ve got is is it real?

182
00:09:20,080 –> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: Is this cat real? Is he real? Is it’s like

183
00:09:22,160 –> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: he does he makes an appearance or he’s doing for

184
00:09:24,480 –> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: us some benevolent and there’s a lot of things we

185
00:09:26,400 –> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: haven’t seen he’s done behind the scenes. He doesn’t have

186
00:09:29,440 –> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: to be out in front of it. He just is.

187
00:09:32,240 –> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: But I sense this is the way he was raised

188
00:09:34,400 –> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: and his background. This stuff’s real to him. So here

189
00:09:38,400 –> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: we are. Now let’s go to the second quarter, and

190
00:09:40,920 –> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: that is he now has climbed the mountain. He got close,

191
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: But now you start a whole new mountain climb. You’re

192
00:09:49,000 –> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: just filling your backpack right now? Is what this is about?

193
00:09:52,080 –> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: I ask him. Now he knows he’s been around the league.

194
00:09:56,040 –> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: How do you do the climb? So third year in

195
00:09:59,200 –> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: the league, you know it’s a mountain climb. I mean,

196
00:10:01,200 –> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: you know it’s a long way to People will look

197
00:10:02,760 –> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: at the end this team where it’s at right now

198
00:10:05,720 –> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: on starting basically the climb from now until Saint Joe.

199
00:10:10,040 –> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: What do you see in what has to happen? Yeah,

200
00:10:12,480 –> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: I mean there’s a ton of competitiveness already. I mean

201
00:10:14,720 –> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: the guys are going after each other, getting each other better,

202
00:10:17,559 –> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: but just building each other up. And so I think

203
00:10:19,320 –> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: that’s the thing that we have to keep going on

204
00:10:21,520 –> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: offensive defense, competing the special teams, competing against each other

205
00:10:24,400 –> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: and trying to make each other better every single day.

206
00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: The other thing would be to handle that because it’s

207
00:10:29,080 –> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: the more competitive it gets it can get, it can

208
00:10:32,480 –> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: get you know, a see a little bit. But just

209
00:10:35,160 –> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint on both sides of the ball

210
00:10:38,280 –> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: in handling that learning at what have you learned and

211
00:10:41,120 –> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: where are you at with that? Yeah, you want the fire.

212
00:10:43,360 –> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: You want everybody going out there and competing on every

213
00:10:45,160 –> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: single rep. You want to make each other better. But

214
00:10:47,040 –> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: at the same time you get to know the mentality

215
00:10:49,200 –> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: with everybody. I mean, everybody’s trying to get better. You

216
00:10:51,400 –> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: have to see that. As a big pitcher, I mean,

217
00:10:52,880 –> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: you have that fire whenever the play is going on,

218
00:10:54,720 –> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: but whenever gets to that locker room, you’re still You’re

219
00:10:56,640 –> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: still the best friends. And so whenever you have teams

220
00:10:58,640 –> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: like that, are the teams that are great and the

221
00:10:59,840 –> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: team win a lot of football games? All right? He

222
00:11:01,840 –> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: says something there. He sees a ton of competitiveness here.

223
00:11:05,000 –> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: I think with this new defensive we’re gonna that’s the

224
00:11:07,440 –> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: next podcast on Defending the Kingdoms. We’re gonna get into

225
00:11:10,559 –> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: this defense and the intensity that’s there. But this competitiveness

226
00:11:15,200 –> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: in the intensity and where Mahomes fits into this as

227
00:11:19,720 –> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: this quarterback position and then as the global leader. We

228
00:11:22,760 –> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: talk about competition and as an athlete who’s been on

229
00:11:25,480 –> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: the field. I’ve been through training camps. I know one thing.

230
00:11:28,760 –> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: Competition is king. That is the way to get guys

231
00:11:32,240 –> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: to if you want to. You take a set of

232
00:11:34,320 –> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: skills that a guy has and he comes into every

233
00:11:36,559 –> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: every every player, all fifty three guys on your roster.

234
00:11:39,760 –> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: We talk about training camp, so all one hundred guys

235
00:11:41,760 –> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: on the roster, they’re gonna come to camp with a

236
00:11:44,200 –> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: certain skill level. To be able to maximize eleven guys

237
00:11:48,760 –> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: on the field, it has to be a sense of competition.

238
00:11:51,520 –> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: It has to be a kind of a doggy dog.

239
00:11:54,120 –> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: There’s only so many seats at the table type mentality

240
00:11:58,480 –> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: for guys to really take their level to the next level.

241
00:12:01,760 –> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: And the only way you can create that from a

242
00:12:04,520 –> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: coaching standpoint, from a general manager standpoint, you got to

243
00:12:07,679 –> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: create a level of competition at every spot on the

244
00:12:10,960 –> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: field so everybody realizes your yesterday isn’t good enough. I

245
00:12:15,559 –> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: need your best today and every day for this team

246
00:12:18,160 –> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: to keep moving in the right direction. That the second

247
00:12:20,720 –> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: you start wrestling your loyals the things you’ve arrived, whether

248
00:12:23,440 –> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: it’s the wide receivers, the running back, the quarterback position,

249
00:12:27,800 –> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: the old line. Whenever anybody feels that little sense of security.

250
00:12:31,840 –> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: They cannot perform at their ultimate best. It’s human nature.

251
00:12:36,080 –> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: So to prevent that, you need competition, and competition is keen.

252
00:12:39,920 –> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: And I’m saying it. I’m seeing it. I saw it.

253
00:12:41,640 –> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: I’m seeing it throughout the spring. I saw it in

254
00:12:44,920 –> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: the mandatory mini camps. In fact, it’s getting really intense.

255
00:12:50,600 –> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: But and folks can go you can go back and

256
00:12:53,280 –> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 1: archive and listen to the archive. But the first one

257
00:12:55,200 –> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: because we kind of touched on this in the last

258
00:12:57,480 –> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: podcast or the episode one of Defending the Kingdom, and

259
00:13:00,520 –> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: that is the fine line, meaning you and I go

260
00:13:04,559 –> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: at it now we’re going to the locker room or

261
00:13:06,559 –> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: we’re gonna go have a beer or you know what.

262
00:13:09,800 –> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: I can’t I can’t stand barber shopping. It’s cool this dude, Now,

263
00:13:14,000 –> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: let’s says that’s real. I mean that can be an

264
00:13:15,679 –> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: issue here, right, definitely. And you’ve we’ve both seen it

265
00:13:19,400 –> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: that my household. Mom’s handled this. If I mean, where’s

266
00:13:23,720 –> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: the fine line? One with this team? You want to

267
00:13:26,160 –> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: build it, man, but not too far? And where’s my homes?

268
00:13:29,960 –> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: It’s rolling this it’s so it’s so man. It’s it’s

269
00:13:33,960 –> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: a for a quarterback, right, quarterback obviously. You know, we

270
00:13:38,160 –> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: understand that’s the most important position on the team. Um,

271
00:13:41,679 –> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: he is the leader, He’s the unspoken leader on the team.

272
00:13:44,120 –> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: He’s the guy who’s, uh, there is a ticket. There’s

273
00:13:47,280 –> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: a ticket to be punched to get this team to

274
00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs, to the super Bowl. It’s with Pat Mahomes.

275
00:13:51,720 –> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: There’s no doubt about that. And all the guys know it.

276
00:13:53,840 –> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: No matter what your role is on the team, you

277
00:13:55,800 –> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: know that you need that guy more than anybody else. Um,

278
00:13:59,240 –> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: if you’re gonna, you know, reach your destiny. But when

279
00:14:02,120 –> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: it comes to training camp, that that fire gets going,

280
00:14:05,120 –> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: those those personal desires to be a part, to be

281
00:14:08,360 –> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: a part of that fifty three man roster gets going

282
00:14:11,000 –> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: so hot that it becomes like I can only explain

283
00:14:15,880 –> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: about it that I have a brother, I got an

284
00:14:17,360 –> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: older brother, and I’ve gotten the many fights with some

285
00:14:20,240 –> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: different people in school. But I fought nobody as hard

286
00:14:23,080 –> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: as I fought my brother. I fought my brother like

287
00:14:25,760 –> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: he was my mortal enemy whenever we got the fighting.

288
00:14:29,160 –> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: But there was a respect level. I never kicked him,

289
00:14:32,920 –> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: I never poked his eyes out, I never punched him

290
00:14:35,520 –> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: in his family jewels. It was it was just I

291
00:14:38,360 –> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: wanted to show him how strong I was. I was.

292
00:14:41,280 –> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: It was like a proving ground to my older brother,

293
00:14:43,440 –> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: showing him that I was more of a man than

294
00:14:45,680 –> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: I was. You know, I was growing up and at

295
00:14:47,480 –> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: some point I’m gonna be better and bigger than you.

296
00:14:50,080 –> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: That’s kind of where I see from our You know,

297
00:14:51,760 –> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: when it’s time for the offensive line and d line

298
00:14:53,600 –> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: to go again each other in one on ones and

299
00:14:55,040 –> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: you go against the same guy over and over to

300
00:14:57,200 –> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: the point where you know, it gets to that point

301
00:14:59,800 –> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: where sometimes you throw blows. You um, you get to

302
00:15:03,080 –> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 1: a little wrestling matches and all that kind of stuff,

303
00:15:04,960 –> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: but it still has to be a level of uh,

304
00:15:07,560 –> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: we got we got to get to where we’re going together.

305
00:15:09,880 –> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: We need to all be healthy, uh come week one,

306
00:15:13,160 –> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: and we want to make sure we as healthy as

307
00:15:14,520 –> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: possible come week seventeen and through the playoffs. So it’s

308
00:15:17,920 –> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: a it’s a way to get the best out of

309
00:15:20,720 –> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: one another. And sometimes you get to joking, you get

310
00:15:23,240 –> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: you get under people’s skin a little bit. It gets

311
00:15:24,920 –> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: a little personal, and sometimes you get to throw on blows.

312
00:15:28,040 –> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you got to

313
00:15:29,080 –> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: back off and realize at the end of the day,

314
00:15:31,040 –> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: y’all still on the same team. Well, here’s the deal too.

315
00:15:33,360 –> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: I had two brothers, one three years old or one

316
00:15:35,800 –> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: five years younger. So I’m that metal child. Right. That

317
00:15:38,360 –> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: explains a lot, Right, It’s the whole metal child thing.

318
00:15:41,040 –> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: And yes, we fought, but if you’re gonna take on

319
00:15:44,520 –> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: one of us, you’re gonna take on all three of us.

320
00:15:46,960 –> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: And it’s been that way kind of throughout life. And

321
00:15:49,400 –> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: that’s where I think maybe Mahomes is going at with

322
00:15:52,240 –> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: this is Okay, this is gonna be intense, this defense

323
00:15:55,920 –> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: is ratching it up. But you take on one of us,

324
00:16:00,040 –> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: you’re checking on all of us. That’s what you want

325
00:16:01,960 –> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: to carry over when you play jackson Ville open the season. Definitely.

326
00:16:05,280 –> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, and training camp, a position’s gonna fight a

327
00:16:07,920 –> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: position because it’s you know, everybody’s fighting and clawing and scratching.

328
00:16:11,200 –> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: But the goal is for this team to fight together,

329
00:16:13,520 –> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: like you’re saying, against a common opponent. Coming to redless

330
00:16:16,280 –> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: season and being so convicted to be so that brotherhood,

331
00:16:20,560 –> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: that bond is so tight that when one guy makes

332
00:16:22,960 –> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: a play, it’s not that one guy making a sack,

333
00:16:24,680 –> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: it’s the whole defense making a sack. And when the

334
00:16:28,000 –> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: quarterback scores and throws a touchdown. Ain’t just him, ain’t

335
00:16:30,680 –> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: my homes throwing it to Watkins or throwing it to

336
00:16:33,280 –> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: Hill or throwing it to a honey thunder. Now it’s

337
00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: it’s the entire Chiefs Kingdom. A whole team just scored

338
00:16:40,920 –> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: on you. And when you have that type of mentality

339
00:16:43,120 –> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: and that starts rolling, now you know that see a

340
00:16:46,280 –> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: red start flowing, and it goes that that feeling goes

341
00:16:48,800 –> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: beyond the players, and then the fan based off feeling

342
00:16:51,560 –> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: like they’re a part of it. So those defensive stops

343
00:16:53,760 –> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: now become the entire organization, the tire fan base thinking

344
00:16:57,680 –> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: that we just made a stop, and it’s all about

345
00:16:59,760 –> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: Bill in that definition of what the word we means, right,

346
00:17:02,960 –> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: we isn’t just one player making a move going to

347
00:17:06,600 –> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: get in a sack. It just it keeps going and

348
00:17:09,440 –> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: goes from that one player to the entire d line,

349
00:17:11,920 –> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: to the entire defense, to the entire team, to the

350
00:17:14,080 –> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: organization to the fan base. And that’s when you know

351
00:17:17,440 –> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: you have arrived. As far as fighting as a brotherhood,

352
00:17:21,119 –> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: fighting is like one unit and that’s the defining moment

353
00:17:25,240 –> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: and that’s what training camps about. That’s why it has

354
00:17:27,160 –> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: to be hard. You have to fight. And here’s here’s

355
00:17:29,119 –> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: a great point to that. I mean, I’m gonna nerde

356
00:17:31,240 –> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: up here. Last year, the Chiefs for twenty fifth in

357
00:17:33,840 –> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: the league. They did all this offense and all of

358
00:17:35,880 –> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: this performance, I mean, twenty fifth in the league in possessions.

359
00:17:41,240 –> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: All Right, the average, if they just the defense just

360
00:17:44,240 –> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: gets the average, that means Mahomes will get ten more

361
00:17:46,600 –> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: possessions a year, basically ten to sixteen. So he’s going

362
00:17:51,800 –> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: to get another possession. Well, the Chiefs led the NFL

363
00:17:54,640 –> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: in percentages of times they scored. You give him one

364
00:17:57,440 –> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: more possession and just give him just sprinkle out sevens

365
00:18:00,560 –> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: and threes. They would have been fifteen and one last year.

366
00:18:04,040 –> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: So I’m just saying that it’s to your point where

367
00:18:07,080 –> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 1: the defense gets at him off the field. And now

368
00:18:09,040 –> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: you’re giving Patrick Mahomes six more cards in the card game,

369
00:18:12,240 –> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: and Frank Clark and the Honey Badger and all of

370
00:18:14,600 –> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 1: them are saying, here’s some more cards go, And so

371
00:18:17,240 –> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: let’s just hope you don’t bend the cards during training camp. Alight.

372
00:18:20,760 –> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: Now we’re into the NFL games. You get a twelve

373
00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: minute a half time in defending the Kingdom. You get

374
00:18:26,800 –> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: one second. There you go one hopefully went to the bathroom.

375
00:18:30,280 –> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: We got an orange or whatever. Because now we’re going

376
00:18:32,359 –> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: to the third quarter, and the third quarter has to

377
00:18:35,000 –> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 1: deal with Patrick Mahomes and his ability to absorb. I

378
00:18:39,520 –> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: asked him in this little chat we got off to

379
00:18:41,920 –> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: the side and I asked him, all right, more time

380
00:18:46,520 –> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: you to absorb Andy, to absorb him and developing more

381
00:18:52,280 –> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 1: dudes to help him. Coaches gives you more and more

382
00:18:54,880 –> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: the more you absorb, and then the more guys that

383
00:18:57,400 –> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: get reps. And what you’ve been able to do this

384
00:19:00,119 –> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: in summer with those guys. What are you seeing there?

385
00:19:02,480 –> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: Is you add more to your volume and two maybe

386
00:19:05,280 –> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: more weapons to the list. Yeah, exactly. I mean getting

387
00:19:07,720 –> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: the work with these guys for another year, keep building

388
00:19:09,880 –> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: that chemistry, get to expand on our playbook even more,

389
00:19:12,480 –> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: which is crazy, and get the test guys every each

390
00:19:15,280 –> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: and every day. That’s the best thing is Coach doesn’t

391
00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: stay stay in one place. He keeps he keeps evolving,

392
00:19:19,760 –> 00:19:21,479
Speaker 1: he keeps getting better, and he wants to expand on

393
00:19:21,720 –> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: everybody’s knowledge of the offense. And so we’re keep testing

394
00:19:24,760 –> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: the guys, testing me and the old line and We’re

395
00:19:27,480 –> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: going to see what we can do and what we

396
00:19:28,920 –> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: can all right there, he is more time, more reps,

397
00:19:33,280 –> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: more guys, more offense, his capacity to absorb what are

398
00:19:39,080 –> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: you seeing there? And how much bandwidth do we have

399
00:19:42,840 –> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: left in this kid’s body. I loved how he explained it.

400
00:19:46,440 –> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: The playbook is evolving. That word evolved. It makes me.

401
00:19:49,840 –> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: It gives me goose bump to think about Coach Andy

402
00:19:53,119 –> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: Reid’s philosophy and now coach Spagg’s philosophy. They’re teachers, yeah,

403
00:19:59,000 –> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: truly teaches of football philosophy. And when you have students

404
00:20:03,240 –> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: that are willing and eager to learn not what to do,

405
00:20:06,720 –> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: but why you do it, that’s the most important part.

406
00:20:09,520 –> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: Why are we doing what we Why are we going

407
00:20:11,160 –> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: vertical with this? Why we we need this zero route

408
00:20:14,440 –> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: to be so flattened? Why do I got to run

409
00:20:16,320 –> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 1: this route so fast? You know? Why do I got

410
00:20:18,359 –> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: a deep set on the offensive line? And this and

411
00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: so all these different reasons that we ask the players

412
00:20:23,040 –> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: to do certain things. But now we have group of

413
00:20:25,480 –> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: players that want to go beyond the what am I

414
00:20:28,520 –> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: doing and they want to actually learn the why. And

415
00:20:31,240 –> 00:20:33,439
Speaker 1: so you have a whole team full of guys They

416
00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: want to evolve. They don’t want the playbook to get stagnant.

417
00:20:36,680 –> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: They don’t want they know what they’re doing out there,

418
00:20:39,359 –> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: and then they’re ready for coach Read to take them

419
00:20:41,200 –> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: to the next level. Let’s continue to grow this thing,

420
00:20:43,480 –> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 1: Let’s continue to involve this offense. They know what it

421
00:20:45,920 –> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: looks like to score thirty five points a game, and

422
00:20:48,640 –> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 1: now they want to challenge themselves to see if they

423
00:20:50,240 –> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: can score forty, something that has been unheard of in

424
00:20:53,280 –> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 1: the NFL. They you know, I spoke last year so

425
00:20:56,680 –> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: many times about the teams being able to score thirty

426
00:20:58,800 –> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: five points a game, and I was Everybody thought I

427
00:21:01,240 –> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: was crazy, and I said, what are you basing the

428
00:21:03,440 –> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: off Sean like history of the NFL says, as a

429
00:21:05,400 –> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: team rarely scores thirty five points a game, And I said,

430
00:21:08,760 –> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: I’ve seen my homes, I’ve seen the guy practice. I

431
00:21:11,680 –> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: see how he understands defenses, and I’ve seen him actually

432
00:21:16,600 –> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 1: talk about his recall of defensive sets and formations and

433
00:21:20,520 –> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: what somebody did to him three or four games ago,

434
00:21:24,359 –> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: and how he wants to attack it now. That that

435
00:21:27,080 –> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: type of understanding of how offensive defenses work, what the

436
00:21:33,320 –> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: weaknesses are on defense, and how to attack it offensively.

437
00:21:36,200 –> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: That is that is uncommon, and when you see a

438
00:21:38,640 –> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: guy like that who has that uncommon ability, you can

439
00:21:41,040 –> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: start thinking about uncommon results. I got him when people

440
00:21:44,400 –> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: I was on a show in San Francisco. This is

441
00:21:46,320 –> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: actually be four last year between right to start the

442
00:21:49,240 –> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: regular season, and they were saying, what are you seeing him?

443
00:21:52,119 –> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: And I said, he’s Steph Curry. I said, he’s Steph Curry.

444
00:21:54,880 –> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: They’re laughing at me. They’re laughing me on the show,

445
00:21:56,520 –> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: and I know what it was. When you get off

446
00:21:57,800 –> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: those shows, they’re like, hey, replay that. Let’s throw rocks

447
00:22:01,400 –> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: at the cat. And then they had me on to December.

448
00:22:04,040 –> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: They go, dude, he’s Steph Curry. But with mahomes and

449
00:22:09,280 –> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: getting more guys and he fans forget about guy like Pringle,

450
00:22:14,080 –> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: like he has really had a good spring. And I

451
00:22:15,720 –> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: asked Patrick about him, because yeah, he’s learning the offense.

452
00:22:18,000 –> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: He’s getting it like he’s understanding choice routes here, he

453
00:22:20,920 –> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: knows what he what I want him to do. Or

454
00:22:23,840 –> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: if a guy’s playing him, shading him here, or he’s

455
00:22:26,040 –> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: seeing this kind of coverage, here’s what we do with that.

456
00:22:29,400 –> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: Whether it’s Gary Deed or de Rob just continues to get,

457
00:22:32,960 –> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, more and more reps. And there’s been the

458
00:22:34,840 –> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: young guys Darlin Thompson and Daryl Williams. So what he’s

459
00:22:38,440 –> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: doing is how about it building this war chest of

460
00:22:41,640 –> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: guys where I talk about having more cards, Well he

461
00:22:44,920 –> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: can play now diamonds or spades, Oh definitely. And we

462
00:22:47,880 –> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, we will go deeper into talking

463
00:22:50,320 –> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: about like what is the drive behind an offensive guy

464
00:22:53,280 –> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: running around? You know, I’m the first option. I get

465
00:22:57,240 –> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: a second or two seconds into the play. Now I

466
00:22:59,640 –> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: know that I was the first option, so the quarterback

467
00:23:01,920 –> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: has probably come off me. So think about the intensity

468
00:23:04,280 –> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: of probably most receivers once they’re twenty twenty five yards

469
00:23:07,680 –> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: in the field, they’ve run their route, the safety has

470
00:23:09,400 –> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 1: already doubled them, so they kind of the play is

471
00:23:11,480 –> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: over for him. Not in our offense, and offense every

472
00:23:14,800 –> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: all five receivers are always alive throughout the play because

473
00:23:20,280 –> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: why because you have a quarterback who not only has

474
00:23:22,720 –> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: the division to continue to see you throughout the whole play,

475
00:23:25,400 –> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: but he also has the arm to get it to you.

476
00:23:27,680 –> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: I was a receiver in high school and I used

477
00:23:29,880 –> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: to run fade routes and then after about my twelfth step,

478
00:23:33,119 –> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: I slowed, damn because they got throw me the ball.

479
00:23:34,920 –> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 1: Couldn’t throw it that deal. You couldn’t if you know

480
00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: that you’re so deep, the guy can’t get it to you.

481
00:23:40,040 –> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: You saw looking for other stuff to do. So I

482
00:23:42,720 –> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: have no idea how do you continue to defend or

483
00:23:45,920 –> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: think about, you know, throughout the damn how to defend

484
00:23:49,760 –> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: the guy who keeps all four or five receivers live

485
00:23:53,160 –> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: throughout there throughout the play. It’s it’s it’s amazing. You know,

486
00:23:56,520 –> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: no homes referred to that earlier. We might a reference

487
00:23:59,400 –> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: on our first podcast. You can go back and listen

488
00:24:01,840 –> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: to it. Like McCole Hartman like there’s he said. He

489
00:24:05,960 –> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: kind of called him out without and in a nice way.

490
00:24:08,200 –> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: It was like a leadership way of doing it. I

491
00:24:09,800 –> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: liked how he said it, but it was like, hey,

492
00:24:12,400 –> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: you may not be the primary cat on this route.

493
00:24:14,800 –> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: You run your route, and guess what on this team,

494
00:24:17,480 –> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: there’s the route after the route and all the other guys.

495
00:24:21,160 –> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: You could just see the rest of the guys going yep,

496
00:24:23,240 –> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: listen to him because that’s the way it is. But

497
00:24:25,960 –> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: if he gets more guys in that mentality thinking that

498
00:24:28,359 –> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: way and people think it’s just the receivers. Nope, it’s

499
00:24:30,640 –> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 1: the tie it ends, it’s the running backs, it’s everybody.

500
00:24:33,480 –> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: But if he gets everybody on that page thinking that way,

501
00:24:36,400 –> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: then you have what Manning had with when the Colts

502
00:24:39,440 –> 00:24:42,479
Speaker 1: were on fire. And then you have what Brady has

503
00:24:42,480 –> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: had when he’s got those guys. He’s got everybody working

504
00:24:45,720 –> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: in the same way. All spots of the defense are

505
00:24:49,000 –> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: all viable attack zones. Usually a defense, when we design

506
00:24:53,240 –> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: a defense, we always say, all right, this is the

507
00:24:54,720 –> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: weakness of a defense, and Cover two it’s the seams,

508
00:24:57,640 –> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: and Cover three it’s the flats against Pat Mahomes. You

509
00:25:02,119 –> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: have to realize defensively, once the primary receiver isn’t there

510
00:25:06,359 –> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 1: and he understands what defense you’re in, he’s he has

511
00:25:10,200 –> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: the capability of the Armed Division to attack every zone

512
00:25:14,880 –> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: in your defense the weakness to strength, and so from

513
00:25:18,880 –> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: a defensive standpoint, you always think top down, and you

514
00:25:21,560 –> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: think once the receiver defines his routes, then we can

515
00:25:24,480 –> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: kind of attach ourselves to that receiver and start playing

516
00:25:27,680 –> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: it like man. But when you play it like man,

517
00:25:30,080 –> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: you avoid zones, and some of those deep zones, when

518
00:25:33,640 –> 00:25:37,239
Speaker 1: they become avoided, you think to aself yourself defensively. This

519
00:25:37,320 –> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: quarterback he doesn’t have the time or the arm to

520
00:25:40,320 –> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: deliver a ball fifty yards down on the opposite hash

521
00:25:45,160 –> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: this late in the dawn, because he knows the pressure

522
00:25:47,080 –> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: is getting there and he’s not willing to keep his

523
00:25:48,880 –> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: eyes down deep that long, So you start to avoid

524
00:25:51,600 –> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: deep zones. To attach yourself to crossing routes. You have

525
00:25:56,000 –> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: to you have to spend a whole week redefining what

526
00:26:00,240 –> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: it means to play defense against this quarterback. And I

527
00:26:03,880 –> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: think that makes him such a unique weapon. He’s really

528
00:26:07,520 –> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: is He’s going to redefine the quarterback position kind of

529
00:26:11,080 –> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: like he did last year, and this is just the

530
00:26:12,680 –> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: next step to it. And beware if you play just

531
00:26:15,200 –> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 1: slots a man to man, because Andy Reid will hit

532
00:26:17,240 –> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: you with one of his four hundred screens he’s got.

533
00:26:20,400 –> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: I saw it during a mandatory mini camp. The defense

534
00:26:23,080 –> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: is playing great, Spags has got all his stuff rolling

535
00:26:25,720 –> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: whoops that were about two or three times. It was

536
00:26:28,119 –> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 1: on those crazy Andy Reid screens that don’t look like

537
00:26:30,200 –> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: a screen, and then Carlos Hyde pops out of the

538
00:26:32,720 –> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 1: clouds and it’s all for fifty yards. I didn’t even

539
00:26:35,119 –> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 1: look over at Spags. But it’s just it’s it’s then

540
00:26:37,960 –> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: I mean, so you have scheme plus this person in

541
00:26:42,359 –> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, I’m gonna nerd you out with one of these.

542
00:26:45,160 –> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: There’s wonder the Chiefs were twenty eighth last year in

543
00:26:47,600 –> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: the NFL. There’s only thirty two teams. Unless we’ve added

544
00:26:50,080 –> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: some we haven’t. There’s they were twenty eighth in the

545
00:26:52,880 –> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: league and drop passes. Now you get that to fifteen.

546
00:26:56,920 –> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: Just put that up to the middle of the pack.

547
00:26:58,800 –> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: That’s that many more completions and have many more opportunities

548
00:27:02,400 –> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: to advance the ball. And I think that’s what he

549
00:27:05,080 –> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: was saying. There more guys are figuring this out or

550
00:27:07,840 –> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 1: I’m getting them ready to figure this out. Yeah, we

551
00:27:09,880 –> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: look at the offensive they say, we scored so many

552
00:27:11,960 –> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: points last year from a national standpoint, they say, well,

553
00:27:15,160 –> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 1: how do you improve on that? You fine tune it,

554
00:27:17,600 –> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: you detail it. You think about drop passes, You think

555
00:27:20,520 –> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: about run plays they went for negative, negative plays. You

556
00:27:23,400 –> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: think about pre snap you know, penalties, think those those

557
00:27:29,040 –> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: type of things are has nothing to do with skill level.

558
00:27:32,480 –> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: But when you talk about the effectiveness of an offensive drive,

559
00:27:35,160 –> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: where you know a starting drive, you think about taking

560
00:27:37,840 –> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: away offensive penalty or a drop ball or one negative

561
00:27:41,800 –> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: run play. And now you try to think about keeping

562
00:27:44,119 –> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: this offense from getting the first damn first damn first

563
00:27:46,760 –> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: damn touchdown almost impossible. All those self inflicted wounds and

564
00:27:52,119 –> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 1: then no dimension turnovers. And I call them giveaways because

565
00:27:55,440 –> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: sometimes the defense gonna make a play. They don’t make

566
00:27:57,359 –> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: it turn it over. But the giveaways the balls that

567
00:28:00,560 –> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: the offensive guy slips through his hands and bats up

568
00:28:02,560 –> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: in the air, or wide receiver or running back running

569
00:28:05,400 –> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: with the ball and they have it out too wide

570
00:28:07,200 –> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: and somebody punches it out. Those are giveaways. If you

571
00:28:09,600 –> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: just protect the rock, know where the defense is coming,

572
00:28:13,520 –> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: and take the yardages is given and go ahead and

573
00:28:16,080 –> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: get down and let’s go to the next play. Man.

574
00:28:18,800 –> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: This this, this offense becomes almost unstoppable. Rams game last year,

575
00:28:22,359 –> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you’re just talking about the Rams game last

576
00:28:24,040 –> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: year fifty one to go, wow man, shoot out, back

577
00:28:26,480 –> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 1: and forth. Rams had fourteen defensive points. Okay, so there

578
00:28:30,119 –> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: you go. Fourth quarter, Here we go. This is Mahomes

579
00:28:32,720 –> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: loves this quarter, right, He’s we played the three quarters

580
00:28:35,840 –> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: with Mahomes. Now what but now what in the fourth quarter?

581
00:28:39,160 –> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: And it’s dealing with the enemy. All three quarters so

582
00:28:42,000 –> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: far has been inside the fort. How Patrick has handled

583
00:28:45,200 –> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: that in the last month since THEFC Championship game. But

584
00:28:49,080 –> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: now it’s handling the enemy. They are spending every waking minute,

585
00:28:52,440 –> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: particularly in the division or the conference challengers. What are

586
00:28:56,640 –> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: we going to do with this kid? Now? If you’re

587
00:28:58,760 –> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, how do you stay one step ahead of

588
00:29:01,640 –> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: the enemy. You gotta find a way. You got to.

589
00:29:03,800 –> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: You gotta find a way to Even even when everybody

590
00:29:06,640 –> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: else is patting union back. You say pats, you know,

591
00:29:09,680 –> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: patting him on the back and telling them how great

592
00:29:14,920 –> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: last year was and how great he is and how

593
00:29:17,720 –> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: unique he is. He still has to dial it back

594
00:29:20,400 –> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: and realize the reason he’s got all the success is

595
00:29:24,240 –> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: because he’s been humble. He’s been able to trust the process.

596
00:29:28,280 –> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: He trusts his protection. He trusted that other guys around

597
00:29:31,560 –> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: him are doing their jobs. And now he has to

598
00:29:34,160 –> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: go out there and just perform and do what he does.

599
00:29:37,000 –> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: He only has to be pat when he started thing.

600
00:29:39,680 –> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: He has to be superman. He still has thing. He

601
00:29:41,600 –> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: has to put the cape on him and do things

602
00:29:43,600 –> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: that he really don’t have to do to win. Um,

603
00:29:46,320 –> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: that’s when things start to that’s when you call it

604
00:29:48,120 –> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: the wheel start to fall off. That’s what I mean.

605
00:29:52,160 –> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: That’s just organic. Even said it’s just it’s got to

606
00:29:54,400 –> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: be organic and generic. He can’t be going by head

607
00:29:56,960 –> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: and throwing the left handed pass on a month. That’s okay,

608
00:30:00,080 –> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, if it wasn’t calling for time to do

609
00:30:01,720 –> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: a left handed pass. Let me give you another one.

610
00:30:03,840 –> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: Here’s one with me, and I think I’ve even talked

611
00:30:06,760 –> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: to him about it. And that’s the time score situation.

612
00:30:09,000 –> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: I will give you a specific example here. It is

613
00:30:11,520 –> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: the Seattle game last year. It is a firestorm. All

614
00:30:14,600 –> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: Seattle’s heard about is how Arrowhead’s the Ladies is loudest

615
00:30:17,000 –> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: stadium right, blah blah blah, one forty two point two

616
00:30:19,920 –> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. They’re on fire. It’s December. They need it,

617
00:30:24,040 –> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: they need the game right, they’re getting they’re in the rams,

618
00:30:26,600 –> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: challenging blah blah blah. Chiefs get first possession, third down,

619
00:30:31,160 –> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: and I think it’s like six or seven. He’s got

620
00:30:33,440 –> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: a shot at getting a first down. Throw it for

621
00:30:35,320 –> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: eleven yards. Patrick Zing’s a side arm hit that. Let’s

622
00:30:39,680 –> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: try to go for d Rob between bracketed coverage incomplete

623
00:30:42,760 –> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: three and out punt places on fire. We stop Patrick

624
00:30:46,120 –> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: mahomes punt, they go down and score. The Chiefs try

625
00:30:48,720 –> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: to work uphill the rest of the game. To me,

626
00:30:51,040 –> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: that’s a tangible example of time, score situation and how

627
00:30:54,200 –> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes improves. And I think if you ask him,

628
00:30:57,120 –> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: he’ll be the first to tell you. There’s been many

629
00:30:59,720 –> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: times he looked at his film from last year where

630
00:31:01,560 –> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: he says, I was my worst enemy in that I

631
00:31:04,160 –> 00:31:05,719
Speaker 1: went I went for too much. I went for too

632
00:31:05,800 –> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: much too early in the game. I went for the

633
00:31:07,400 –> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: home run swing when all I needed was a single.

634
00:31:10,560 –> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: I just needed a bunt right there. They gave me

635
00:31:12,520 –> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: the first dawn. I could either ran for it, I

636
00:31:14,440 –> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: could hit a little you know, curl route that they

637
00:31:16,280 –> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: had the first dawn to keep the chains going for

638
00:31:18,720 –> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: another set. And when you talk about that environment, especially

639
00:31:21,920 –> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: on the road, when you have the other fan base

640
00:31:25,360 –> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: gnawing at you and then just they don’t really know

641
00:31:28,200 –> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: if they can stop Pat Mahomes and that, and they

642
00:31:30,160 –> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: need their defense to show them so they can really

643
00:31:32,600 –> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: believe what they think they’re saying. And in that game,

644
00:31:35,840 –> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: I was at that game. I was there with Kevin

645
00:31:37,320 –> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: Lockett and Billy Babe was there, you know, his son

646
00:31:39,760 –> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockers, so he was there and the Sweets watching

647
00:31:42,000 –> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: that game. When that when that opening kickoff kicked off,

648
00:31:46,160 –> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: I swore I was back here at the Kingdom. It was.

649
00:31:48,280 –> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: It was loud, it was deafening, But like you were right,

650
00:31:51,120 –> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: when that first drive, it was some hesitation in the

651
00:31:54,240 –> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: fan base. There was a little bit of doubt in

652
00:31:56,400 –> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: that fan base if they really could stop this phenom.

653
00:32:00,240 –> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: And the defense got off the field, and you’ve heard

654
00:32:02,800 –> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: instead of instead of Pat taking that first damn and

655
00:32:05,640 –> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: kind of letting some air out of the sales of

656
00:32:08,560 –> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: the thirteenth man there in Seattle by going forward and incomplete,

657
00:32:12,960 –> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: it pumped him up. It was like gasoline thrown on

658
00:32:15,520 –> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: the fire and they started roaring, and that fire didn’t

659
00:32:18,520 –> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: stop until the end of the game. It was a

660
00:32:19,920 –> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: barn burning. That was a game to go down. That

661
00:32:21,680 –> 00:32:24,239
Speaker 1: was a great game on both sides. But like you’re

662
00:32:24,240 –> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: saying from a quarterback quisition, to be able to take

663
00:32:26,600 –> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: some of the air out of that that crowd during

664
00:32:29,800 –> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: the away game with so much riding on it, a

665
00:32:32,880 –> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: first dam would have been almost important, and it’s valuable

666
00:32:35,680 –> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: as a touchdown and a six minute drive and put

667
00:32:37,720 –> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: seven on the board because he’s number one in the

668
00:32:39,440 –> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: NFL and red zone touchdowns with thirty five and you

669
00:32:42,400 –> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: go up seven and nothing. You suck some of the

670
00:32:44,120 –> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: helium out all that Twelfth Man and all that. So

671
00:32:46,920 –> 00:32:48,719
Speaker 1: it’s gonna be fun. But here we are a second

672
00:32:49,320 –> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: defending the kingdom. And just overall the fact that this kid,

673
00:32:53,240 –> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: it’s the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and who he is

674
00:32:56,680 –> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: and what he is so far at Prey never changes.

675
00:33:00,040 –> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: It is so exciting to have this guy being a

676
00:33:02,400 –> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: leader of this team. Definitely, And then you know, we

677
00:33:04,520 –> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: said leadership is something that it’s it’s a born thing.

678
00:33:07,120 –> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: You can’t you can’t teach somebody how to be a leader. Right,

679
00:33:09,600 –> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: He’s gonna come out here, He’s gonna be a football player.

680
00:33:11,760 –> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: He’ll give you all he can. We see so many

681
00:33:13,800 –> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: different types of leadership. Um we see guys m Baker

682
00:33:17,480 –> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Mayfield and we see that Russell where every team has

683
00:33:19,880 –> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: a guy that they put in the leadership and they

684
00:33:21,280 –> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: do it in different ways. I can never be as us.

685
00:33:26,600 –> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: It’s just encouraged and excited about having a leader like

686
00:33:31,840 –> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: we have here with Pat Mahomes, as humble as he

687
00:33:33,920 –> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: is as as as professional he is, but as talented

688
00:33:37,520 –> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: as he is. When I when you talk about the

689
00:33:39,400 –> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: sky as the limit, Um, he just he’s gonna he’s

690
00:33:42,840 –> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna ask the coach Andy Reid to just keep feeding him,

691
00:33:45,160 –> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: Just keep feeding him, man, And it’s going. It’s such

692
00:33:47,800 –> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: a thrill to be able to follow him and watch

693
00:33:50,000 –> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: him on a weekly basis. And you get your hair

694
00:33:51,920 –> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: cut at the same place Patrick Mahomes gets his haircut.

695
00:33:54,640 –> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: You just went up a notch in my bag. I’m

696
00:33:56,840 –> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: just saying, but it’s in the words of that great

697
00:33:58,440 –> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: philosopher of our time, Snoop Dogg in the awesome movie

698
00:34:01,400 –> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: Start Skin Hutch. He went to notch one, just saying

699
00:34:04,520 –> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: that’s from Snoop dark All right, that’s our defending the

Speaker 1: kingdom this and get ready for the next one barbershop,

701
00:34:09,880 –> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: because that The second question I get asked is the

702
00:34:12,200 –> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: first one is what now what does Mahomes do for

703
00:34:15,000 –> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: an encore? The second question is always what does Spags

704
00:34:18,400 –> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: bringing to the defense. Oh, you know, I’m excited about that.

705
00:34:20,880 –> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: Coach Spaggs being my former linebacker coach when I was

706
00:34:23,960 –> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, I can get you all the insights about that.

707
00:34:26,680 –> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: So can’t wait, can’t wait. Make sure you’re around for

708
00:34:30,520 –> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: episode three of Defending the Kingdom. Thanks for listening to
