Speaker 1: the barbershop, and shop continued prayers for our region, for

9
00:00:33,640 –> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: our country, for the world. As we are in that

10
00:00:36,880 –> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: stay at home protocol, you’re you’re educating your kids and

11
00:00:40,560 –> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: you’ve got a school and a a house all in one spot.

12
00:00:42,920 –> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: But good to see you again, brother, and we want

13
00:00:45,560 –> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: to continue to lift up prayers for those as we

14
00:00:48,479 –> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: are in this environment. Man, I always want to encourage

15
00:00:50,880 –> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: people to get more FaceTime, get more zoom meetings, get

16
00:00:54,240 –> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: more skyping, house party app um, whatever you got. If

17
00:00:57,480 –> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: you got your Alexa listening, tell you Alexa to call

18
00:01:00,120 –> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: your grandma, call your mom, call your friends on there

19
00:01:02,760 –> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: Alexa app The face to face is refreshing when you

20
00:01:07,760 –> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: stuck at home and you don’t see anybody, but who’s

21
00:01:09,640 –> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: in your in your house for twenty four hours and

22
00:01:13,120 –> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: sometime it is refreshing to see actual faces, even if

23
00:01:16,560 –> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: it’s on a screen on your iPhone, it’s good just

24
00:01:20,000 –> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: to see have some some monoamano contact. Man. Well, we’re

25
00:01:25,160 –> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: going to continue our refitting the backpack as we’re in

26
00:01:28,640 –> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: our stay at home protocol and trying to fight through

27
00:01:32,240 –> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: this situation together. But as we refit the backpack today

28
00:01:36,000 –> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: we look at the corner back position, one of my

29
00:01:39,560 –> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: favorite of any NFL team, and honestly barber Shop I

30
00:01:45,240 –> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: called the cornerbacks the fighter pilots of the National Football League.

31
00:01:49,280 –> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Now here’s your history lesson of today. This is the

32
00:01:51,680 –> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: first salute to service top we had. It was designed

33
00:01:54,720 –> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: by Alan Wright and the rest of the crew and

34
00:01:56,600 –> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: our equipment team. It’s the closest thing I have to

35
00:01:59,400 –> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: like a fired suit. You’ll see them what they wear,

36
00:02:01,800 –> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, when they get up in the jet plane.

37
00:02:03,480 –> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the Tuskegee Airmen, alright,

38
00:02:06,640 –> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: the African American Group, the three hundred thirty second Fighter Group.

39
00:02:10,880 –> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: The Army was still segre and the Air Corps was

40
00:02:13,400 –> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: still segregated then in World War Two, and these guys

41
00:02:16,720 –> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: were put together. They flew some of the best machines.

42
00:02:19,760 –> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: We have the P fifty one Mustangs and others, one

43
00:02:23,040 –> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: hundred eight downed enemy aircraft, seven hundred forty four air medals,

44
00:02:26,880 –> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty Distinguished Flying Crosses, fourteen Bronze Stars,

45
00:02:31,960 –> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: and the Silver Star. They were amazing as fighter pilots.

46
00:02:35,919 –> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: Plus I think they also sped up the desegregation progress

47
00:02:41,280 –> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: in our country. But they were amazing. If you want

48
00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: to study the Tuskegee Airman, it’s worth a study here

49
00:02:46,720 –> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: while we all stay at home and learn together. Yeah,

50
00:02:48,960 –> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: I heard they were known by the Monica Red Tales Zone.

51
00:02:52,560 –> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes some of this time apart out of our normal

52
00:02:56,440 –> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: day to day, it gives us time to really dive

53
00:02:58,400 –> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: into our history, having too what’s important, what made the

54
00:03:02,320 –> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: USA what it is? We talk about football, we talk

55
00:03:05,080 –> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: about cornerbacks, and you referenced the fighter Palotts because it’s

56
00:03:09,040 –> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: that one on one dog fight that mine on minor.

57
00:03:11,600 –> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: We called it. To be out on the Allen, to

58
00:03:14,480 –> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: be by yourself, you have to have a very short memory.

59
00:03:17,680 –> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: You have to have that kind of ego, that that

60
00:03:19,520 –> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: that alpha dog mentality on each and every play so

61
00:03:23,560 –> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: that you don’t give up six points over the top

62
00:03:25,800 –> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: and I think that when we talk about what the

63
00:03:27,560 –> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs have, what free agency have, and then what the

64
00:03:30,240 –> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: draft has, you’ll see an instant, resting group of guys

65
00:03:33,800 –> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: that can be a part of this two thousand and

66
00:03:35,520 –> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: twenty Chiefs regime. Yeah, there’s a lot of raisins. We

67
00:03:39,200 –> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl, but these corners when they hit

68
00:03:42,040 –> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they started to play some ball. Rashad Brelan

69
00:03:46,600 –> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: Varius Ward who kind of came out of nowhere really

70
00:03:49,320 –> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: over a two year period to become really one of

71
00:03:52,360 –> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: the top cover corners in the NFL. When you look

72
00:03:54,280 –> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: at it statistically, Chiefs have lost Kendall full of the

73
00:03:57,120 –> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: free agencies now back to Washington to be a redskin.

74
00:04:00,400 –> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: But we also saw Rashad Fenton rise up, especially during

75
00:04:04,200 –> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs and make some plays the cornerback position. Before

76
00:04:07,960 –> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: we jump in to this in earnest, you played defense

77
00:04:12,920 –> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a decade. You played with some

78
00:04:15,440 –> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: of the best corners in the league. The makeup the

79
00:04:18,680 –> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: frame up of these fighter pilots. Because you mentioned, man,

80
00:04:21,000 –> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: it’s one on one combat. On the outside, people say

81
00:04:23,600 –> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: you have to have a short memory. You’re gonna give

82
00:04:25,920 –> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: up the one play already goes it’s a fifty yard

83
00:04:28,040 –> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: play or a forty yard defensive pass interference penalty. Man,

84
00:04:31,440 –> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: you’ve got to whitewash that in less than ten seconds

85
00:04:35,320 –> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: to try to make the play that’s going to win

86
00:04:36,920 –> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: the game the next play. This is a unique group

87
00:04:39,240 –> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: of guys. I love to study this position and look

88
00:04:42,760 –> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: at it and look at it intricately. But the guys

89
00:04:45,560 –> 00:04:48,799
Speaker 1: you played with, what were their characteristics? Of the dudes

90
00:04:48,839 –> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: that played when you looked outside to your right or

91
00:04:50,880 –> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: left shoulder, and there are the guys on the edge, well,

92
00:04:53,560 –> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: some of the best of the best. I think my

93
00:04:55,560 –> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: days at Washington, had a chance to play with Daryl Green,

94
00:04:58,720 –> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: had a chance to play with Champa Ellie, had a

95
00:05:00,760 –> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: chance to play with Dion Sanders. And so what those

96
00:05:03,520 –> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 1: guys had, and each one of them had a different

97
00:05:05,680 –> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: amount of it, was the ability to clear out the

98
00:05:09,920 –> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: background noise, become solely so focused on a guy’s alignment,

99
00:05:16,680 –> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: his route running, his release points, the different routes that

100
00:05:20,400 –> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 1: that receiver would run, and then how that route intertwined

101
00:05:24,320 –> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: into the overall passing philosophy. And when I saved from

102
00:05:29,240 –> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: a Daryl Green, he had top in speed, He wasn’t

103
00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: the tallest long arm guys like we see today. But

104
00:05:35,839 –> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: he had top in speed and he knew one thing.

105
00:05:38,120 –> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: He had to cover the guy when the ball arrived

106
00:05:41,360 –> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: and the pass was not complete. Just because the ball arrived,

107
00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: he had chances upon chances to punch it out until

108
00:05:47,520 –> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: that ball was complete, and so he made sure to

109
00:05:49,800 –> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: finish the damn He always finished through the whistle. Champ

110
00:05:53,000 –> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 1: Bailey his athleticism and storied the makeup speed he has.

111
00:05:58,760 –> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: He took a lot from He’s a mixture of Dion

112
00:06:01,400 –> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: Sanders and d Green. He would allow receivers sometimes get

113
00:06:04,560 –> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: a little bit open because he knew he was fast

114
00:06:06,600 –> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: enough to make up that speed once the ball was

115
00:06:08,440 –> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: in the air and then make an inception. And then

116
00:06:10,720 –> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: one of personally my greatest cornerback of all time is

117
00:06:14,760 –> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders. He had the arrogance he had to He

118
00:06:18,040 –> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: talked with the swag. He had it. He had it

119
00:06:20,760 –> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: on and off the field, but when he was in

120
00:06:23,000 –> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: the locker room he was an ultimate competitor. He expected

121
00:06:26,279 –> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: his team to come ready to play every dawn. He

122
00:06:29,600 –> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: expected that pass rush to get there because he told

123
00:06:32,120 –> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: him I was going to cover a guy for two seconds.

124
00:06:34,520 –> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Anything beyond that I’m putting on a d line. I’m

125
00:06:36,680 –> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: putting on the linebackers. You need to get there and

126
00:06:39,080 –> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: cause that quarterback to throw the ball somewhere other than

127
00:06:41,760 –> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: when he than the guy he’s covering after that two seconds,

128
00:06:45,240 –> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: but for those first two seconds, Dion would shut down

129
00:06:48,560 –> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: half to feel Derrek Green is one of my top

130
00:06:53,680 –> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: five all time NFL players. That’s not a chief. I’m mean,

131
00:06:57,440 –> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: the dude played twenty years at corner back and he’s

132
00:07:01,400 –> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: got that. He had the Tyrone Matthew study of the

133
00:07:04,960 –> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: game you played with him. But I love to study

134
00:07:07,680 –> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: him from afar and still do. I’ll go back and

135
00:07:10,320 –> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: watch some of his video because I think the guys

136
00:07:13,760 –> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: one of the most remarkable players in the history of

137
00:07:15,320 –> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: the league, and the fact that he played this fighter

138
00:07:17,320 –> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: pilot position. Just put it this way, folks, think about

139
00:07:21,480 –> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: the guys in this league that run four two four, three,

140
00:07:23,800 –> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: four to four. You’re running backwards playing those guys. You’re

141
00:07:27,440 –> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: running one hundred meter dash. They’re running forwards and you’re

142
00:07:30,800 –> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: running backwards. And how’s all that going to work? All right,

143
00:07:34,280 –> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: let’s jump in now to what I think we’ve talked

144
00:07:36,760 –> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: about the characteristics that every one of these positions over

145
00:07:39,880 –> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: the past two months, as we’ve broken it down, but

146
00:07:43,280 –> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: the characteristics that Andy Reid and Steve Spagnola want at

147
00:07:46,800 –> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: this position are one. If you’re saying, yes, you’ve got

148
00:07:50,680 –> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: to be a splendid athlete, Yes you’ve got to be

149
00:07:52,600 –> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: able to cover, but you have to be a willing tackler.

150
00:07:56,520 –> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: When I look at these stats, Chavarius Ward last year

151
00:07:59,760 –> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: was a third leading tackler on this team. Javarius Ward

152
00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: had seventy four tackles. Brashad Breland played physical. Look at

153
00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: his plays in the Super Bowl. He ended up with

154
00:08:10,160 –> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: sixty two tas I’m sorry, forty eight tackles. And then

155
00:08:13,520 –> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: the past coverage ability. Javarius Ward was targeted seventy eight

156
00:08:17,360 –> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: times throughout the season. He was only burned thirty seven times.

157
00:08:21,480 –> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: That’s a forty point four percent burn ratio, which is

158
00:08:24,560 –> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: good actually, and only gave up two touchdowns with ten

159
00:08:27,760 –> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: passes broken up. He only had one defensive pass interference

160
00:08:31,240 –> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: penalty all year, and with Brelan sixty two targets thirty

161
00:08:35,040 –> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: two burns, gave up three touchdowns and eight passes defense.

162
00:08:38,600 –> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: You gotta do not only I gotta cover the best

163
00:08:41,480 –> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: whiteouts in the league, I also have to play physical.

164
00:08:44,559 –> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: Part of holding the edge is having a corner that’s

165
00:08:47,240 –> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: also out there who’s a willing tackler. And not all

166
00:08:49,880 –> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: of the fighter pilots in this league won a tackle. Well,

167
00:08:53,000 –> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: one thing you know about rushing statistics is you get

168
00:08:56,160 –> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: no credit for yards going across the field. In every

169
00:08:59,640 –> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: defense they want to push running backs sideline and sideline. Well,

170
00:09:03,760 –> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: who’s lined up on those sidelines. It’s your cornerbacks. And

171
00:09:06,600 –> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: so when you constantly spilled the ball, spill the ball

172
00:09:09,000 –> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: from A gap to B gap to C gap to

173
00:09:10,960 –> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: outside the tight end, well, your cornerbacks and safeties have

174
00:09:14,320 –> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: to come up and make tackles. And we expect our

175
00:09:16,160 –> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: guys to be some of the most physical and aggressive

176
00:09:19,000 –> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: tacklists there are in the league. That’s one of the

177
00:09:21,000 –> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: things coach bag is he kind of hangs his hat on,

178
00:09:23,200 –> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: He hangs his defense on of his cornerbacks being physical,

179
00:09:26,280 –> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: aggressive in the pass and the run. Just like the

180
00:09:29,320 –> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: cornerbacks helped to pass, the D line and linebackers have

181
00:09:32,200 –> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: to I mean, just like cornerbacks helped to run the

182
00:09:35,160 –> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: D line and linebackers have to help with the pass.

183
00:09:36,760 –> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: When I talked about Dion standers saying, hey, guys, you

184
00:09:39,120 –> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 1: gotta get there that confidence and being aggressive with your

185
00:09:42,440 –> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: hands at the line of scrimmage to readjust routes to

186
00:09:45,320 –> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: throw timing off. It’s an all eleven guys on board.

187
00:09:48,600 –> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: You gotta be You gotta know that your guys up

188
00:09:50,960 –> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: front is gonna get there to give you the confidence.

189
00:09:53,160 –> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: When you have a receiver it runs like Tyreek Hill,

190
00:09:56,240 –> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: like the jet, like DeMarcus Robinson. Guys that can get

191
00:09:59,200 –> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: vertical and run War two. If you don’t get something

192
00:10:01,600 –> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: of at the line of scrimmage, they’ll be gone in

193
00:10:04,440 –> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: value before you even know it. And so you talk

194
00:10:06,320 –> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: about the characteristics of cornerbacks footwork, mira, their understanding of

195
00:10:12,080 –> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: the game, the different techniques and leverages, their vision, and

196
00:10:16,840 –> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: then also their balance and then their playmaking ability be

197
00:10:19,480 –> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: able to high point the ball, pass breakups, make play

198
00:10:22,280 –> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: on the ball. All of those different segments have something

199
00:10:25,440 –> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: to do when you can talk about evaluating that position

200
00:10:27,880 –> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 1: at cornerback. One of the biggest differences to me from

201
00:10:31,760 –> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season to twenty eighteen and twenty seventeen with

202
00:10:35,559 –> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 1: the ability of the corners and the safety is to

203
00:10:37,679 –> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: some extent their ball skills because here we are as

204
00:10:42,360 –> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: a fighter pilot out there on the edge. Yes, you’ve

205
00:10:44,240 –> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: got to play a four to two four three guy

206
00:10:46,040 –> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: playing backwards. I gotta be physical against the run. Here

207
00:10:48,600 –> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: comes I don’t know, you know, Derrick Henry, and I

208
00:10:51,600 –> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: got to tackle him. A third, though, is also having

209
00:10:55,120 –> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: the ball skills of Steph Curry or Patrick Mahomes. Honestly,

210
00:10:58,600 –> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: there was a gigantic improvement last year in my opinion

211
00:11:01,920 –> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: of the corners specifically and the safeties in their ball skills.

212
00:11:05,520 –> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: You talk about hype pointing the ball, we think of

213
00:11:07,320 –> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: a thornhill, but we also saw a Various Ward. I

214
00:11:10,160 –> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: was just reviewing the Houston game. We’re gonna do a

215
00:11:11,880 –> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: watch party on that coming up next week. Various Ward

216
00:11:14,559 –> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: makes an incredible play hype pointing the ball in the

217
00:11:16,480 –> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: end zone to get an interception. That’s another part, another

218
00:11:19,760 –> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: box you need to check and it’s hard to find

219
00:11:22,040 –> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: these guys, but that’s part of being a fighter pilot

220
00:11:24,280 –> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: in this league is also having those ball skills and

221
00:11:26,840 –> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: those things. It’s something that coach back preach about and

222
00:11:29,240 –> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: he talks about it from day when of training camp.

223
00:11:31,280 –> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: You see him working on the fine tune things intercepting

224
00:11:34,440 –> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: the ball around a palon, intercepting the ball around the

225
00:11:38,920 –> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: field goal posts, things like that. Most teams, they’re so

226
00:11:43,200 –> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: busy trying to over coach and coach alignment assignment, alignment assignment,

227
00:11:47,679 –> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: then the other aspects of playing the position sometime go

228
00:11:50,800 –> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: to the waist side. But as you saw a coach Packnola,

229
00:11:53,200 –> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: he’ll pull a dB out of a drill to work

230
00:11:55,280 –> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: on him on the side, one on one on something

231
00:11:57,559 –> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: he thinks is going to make a difference, high pointing

232
00:11:59,559 –> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: the ball, having great hands, great vision, and then they’ll

233
00:12:01,960 –> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: put him back in the drill. He works with guys

234
00:12:04,000 –> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: one on one, depending on you know, your your knee,

235
00:12:07,000 –> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: your individual need. Not all defense coordinators are willing to

236
00:12:10,960 –> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: bring themselves down to that almost that common level of hey,

237
00:12:15,400 –> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: I’m going to work with you on a one on

238
00:12:16,600 –> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: one basis to get you better. They want to stay

239
00:12:18,480 –> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: up in that high perch and then say, hey man,

240
00:12:20,120 –> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: I’m the I’m the coordinator. I call it, you do it.

241
00:12:23,000 –> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: It is what it is. But we talk about that

242
00:12:24,880 –> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: cornerback position man in a lot of different ways. Um,

243
00:12:28,400 –> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: we want to stay focused on what is need to

244
00:12:30,920 –> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: be great at that cornerback position. We talked about zone

245
00:12:33,960 –> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: coverage as on the quarterback being able to break up.

246
00:12:36,800 –> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 1: We talked about man coverage as on the receiver being

247
00:12:39,480 –> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: able to mirror trail and then make a play. That’s

248
00:12:42,480 –> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: a That’s two totally different techniques and now everybody can

249
00:12:45,480 –> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: do both of them. Well done, well said to communicate there,

250
00:12:49,240 –> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: two receivers side, three receiver side, who’s got the inside

251
00:12:52,200 –> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: third guy if we’re in zone, who trades that off?

252
00:12:54,760 –> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: You’ll see that’s why you see these touchdowns and two dvs.

253
00:12:57,679 –> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: You’re looking at each other like why, so have to

254
00:13:00,320 –> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: communicate back there. And I really thought that’s where the

255
00:13:02,880 –> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: secondary of the Chiefs really came together in the last

256
00:13:06,520 –> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: two months of the season, especially hitting the playoffs. All right,

257
00:13:09,800 –> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: on the roster right now as we speak, if five

258
00:13:13,840 –> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: corners and really you go to camp with about eleven,

259
00:13:17,200 –> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: you like ten or eleven corners to get it down

260
00:13:20,200 –> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: to five. Alex we already mentioned various ward and what

261
00:13:24,160 –> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: he’s been able to do. Brashod Brelan as we speak,

262
00:13:26,679 –> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: is still a free agent. Their discussions going on there.

263
00:13:30,320 –> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton was recently signed by the team. Primarily a

264
00:13:33,320 –> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: special team guy with the Giants, but we’ll seek really

265
00:13:36,600 –> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: put him in the crock pot and in confending the

266
00:13:39,000 –> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: kingdom religiously, you know that our crock pot designation is

267
00:13:42,800 –> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: a badge of honor to weare. It means the team

268
00:13:44,920 –> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: still believes in you and they want to develop you.

269
00:13:47,600 –> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: Chris Lamon’s was put on this roster later in the season,

270
00:13:51,000 –> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: mentioned Rashad Fenton, going into his second year, had to

271
00:13:54,880 –> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: step up, pricked him when one thornhill went down when

272
00:13:57,880 –> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: he went to the nickel and dime packages. Then I’ll

273
00:14:00,080 –> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: ex Browns an interesting guy. He was the guy that

274
00:14:03,000 –> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: made a big hit along with Sorensen and knock the

275
00:14:05,320 –> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 1: ball out on the kickoff return in the incredible comeback

276
00:14:08,320 –> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans. That’s the five you’ve got. That’s

277
00:14:12,000 –> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: why I think our next discussion as we transition and

278
00:14:15,480 –> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: pivot into the available free agents left in the cornerback

279
00:14:19,360 –> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: position and the draft, Because if there’s one group of

280
00:14:22,520 –> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: guys that I’ve spent some time with looking and I’m

281
00:14:24,760 –> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: most intrigued about shop, it’s the cornerbacks. But let’s just

282
00:14:28,160 –> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: take what’s on the roster right now and then we’ll

283
00:14:31,280 –> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 1: get into free agency. Well, those guys all have to

284
00:14:34,080 –> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: take a step up. And that’s the one thing. When

285
00:14:36,120 –> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: you bring a Tyron Matthew into a building, the expectation

286
00:14:40,800 –> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: of everybody raises. So these guys that were undrafted, unused,

287
00:14:44,840 –> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: forgotten about. They come to a situation where you know

288
00:14:47,600 –> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: you’re gonna be putting in a situation where we’re gonna

289
00:14:49,560 –> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: be playing from my head. There’s a lot of emphasis

290
00:14:52,360 –> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: gonna be on pass coverage, stopping guys, you know, from

291
00:14:56,600 –> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: coming back from when we have a league, the community location.

292
00:15:00,760 –> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: If guys can learn to communicate, you see, guys have

293
00:15:03,080 –> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: certain skills and techniques, certain traits that you like. You

294
00:15:06,480 –> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: bring them in, give them a shot. Like you said,

295
00:15:08,000 –> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: you’re gonna try to go into training him with ten

296
00:15:10,440 –> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: eleven cornerbacks. The guys that communicate the best, the guys

297
00:15:14,160 –> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: that can work as a unit on the field. It’s

298
00:15:17,000 –> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: almost irrelevant almost what your skill level is on a

299
00:15:21,400 –> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: one on one basis. If you can communicate as a

300
00:15:24,520 –> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: as a back in together the culmination, the sum total

301
00:15:28,880 –> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: as a group is often more valuable than the individual total.

302
00:15:32,800 –> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: So that’s why some of the top corners in the

303
00:15:35,400 –> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: league I don’t think would fit in our defense because

304
00:15:39,320 –> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: sometimes to be that top corner. You don’t talk. You

305
00:15:42,520 –> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: just want to be on the island left alone. You

306
00:15:43,960 –> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: want to shut off side of the field. You want

307
00:15:47,000 –> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: everybody else, the other ten guys to worry about everything else,

308
00:15:49,800 –> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: leave you alan. Well, that’s the opposite of communication. The

309
00:15:52,600 –> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: one thing that are back in does both corners, all safeties.

310
00:15:56,440 –> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: You communicate with one another to make sure everybody’s on

311
00:15:59,000 –> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: the same accord. And that’s how you played championship defense,

312
00:16:02,240 –> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: in championship pass coverage. And to me, the best teams

313
00:16:05,040 –> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: in this league you mentioned some guys are a man corner.

314
00:16:07,320 –> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: They can play press man Summer’s zone. To me, Spags

315
00:16:10,520 –> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: wants both. I’ve got to be able to do both

316
00:16:12,640 –> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: because he wants to have that kind of that many

317
00:16:14,840 –> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: tools in his tool chest. Quickly into free agency here,

318
00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: we’ve got to throw Brelan, who still listed as we

319
00:16:20,200 –> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: speak on this one. If you come back and listen

320
00:16:22,200 –> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: to it later, we’ll know what happens here. But Breshad

321
00:16:25,600 –> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Brelan is in there as a free agent. Mcclayborne, former chief,

322
00:16:29,240 –> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: is also on there. But Logan Ryan as we started

323
00:16:32,080 –> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: this podcast, was still available former Titan Tremaine Johnson, and

324
00:16:36,560 –> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: then Drake Kirkpatrick was released by the Cincinnati Bengals. So

325
00:16:40,640 –> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: interesting to see what’s happened to me. I think guys

326
00:16:43,720 –> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: are going to look after the draft for these guys. Now,

327
00:16:46,200 –> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 1: we saw some top corners go right away. Kendall Fuller

328
00:16:49,080 –> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: jumps off the board quickly and gets a big ten

329
00:16:51,680 –> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: million dollars a year deal basically for four years with

330
00:16:55,200 –> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. We saw the big move by Miami

331
00:16:59,680 –> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: to take the Dallas corner. It’s the highest paid free

332
00:17:01,800 –> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: agent in this whole shebang, but a free agent corner.

333
00:17:07,000 –> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: We’ve seen the Chiefs actually morph some of these guys

334
00:17:09,200 –> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: in Braylon last year. Yeah, and I like some of

335
00:17:12,560 –> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: the under named guys. Kevin Peterson for the for the Cardinals,

336
00:17:17,400 –> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 1: author Marlitt from the Jets, Javier Elliott for the Panthers.

337
00:17:22,240 –> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: I had another guy Rashaud Melvin for the Lions, and

338
00:17:25,400 –> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: even Daryl Worley for the Raiders. Most of these guys

339
00:17:27,960 –> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: are young guys under thirty years old. You know, they’ve

340
00:17:30,640 –> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: played fifty to sixty percent of the snaps, but from

341
00:17:33,720 –> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: a salary standpoint, they’re probably going to come in under

342
00:17:36,240 –> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: the two million a year type deal. And when you

343
00:17:38,960 –> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: add a guy like that when you can add multiple guys, right,

344
00:17:41,560 –> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: you can add five guys at two million or one

345
00:17:43,800 –> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: guy ten million. I think you go with the shotgun

346
00:17:46,800 –> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: effect and see what guys come in, how well they

347
00:17:49,240 –> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: mold with the guys that are already here. Again, the

348
00:17:52,080 –> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: communication level has to be out the roof, and that’s

349
00:17:56,440 –> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: what really allows you to kind of work around a

350
00:18:00,280 –> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: salary cap where you know, we gotta pay Chris Jones,

351
00:18:02,920 –> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: We’re always paying the shark um on offense. We got

352
00:18:06,440 –> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: Zeus and Tarik Hill and Pat Mahomes, so we got

353
00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: to we kind of got a bunch of a big

354
00:18:12,560 –> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: salary uh salary cap. Guys are we on on the

355
00:18:16,320 –> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: line for the twenty twenty year? Now? We got to

356
00:18:18,800 –> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 1: figure out can we get some of this bargain uh

357
00:18:21,160 –> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: these bargain deals. And sometimes you find some guys that

358
00:18:23,960 –> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: are twenty six, twenty seven years old, played a lot

359
00:18:26,680 –> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: of football and just aren’t earning, that aren’t requiring that

360
00:18:31,760 –> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year price point. Yeah, we’re seeing

361
00:18:35,200 –> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: that right now in the fridge at market. The one

362
00:18:37,000 –> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: year guy where you’re giving a one year try. And

363
00:18:40,040 –> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: sometimes those guys make big plays to help you win

364
00:18:42,720 –> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Quite honestly, Breland is in that category. I

365
00:18:46,200 –> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 1: remember his pick, his physical play on the sideline in

366
00:18:50,240 –> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. All right, now, we’re gonna jump into

367
00:18:52,280 –> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: this draft for corners, and I get real fired up

368
00:18:55,320 –> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: when I look at this draft and knowing where the

369
00:18:58,400 –> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs pick. We’ve talked about right now, there are five picks,

370
00:19:01,920 –> 00:19:04,360
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs will start at thirty two, and basically

371
00:19:04,359 –> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: we’ll follow that sequence all the way through the first

372
00:19:06,520 –> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: five rounds and then that’s it as it stands right now.

373
00:19:09,800 –> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 1: I call these guys the sec all stars. Now there’s

374
00:19:12,440 –> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: some exceptions, including the guy most think is at the

375
00:19:15,400 –> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: top of the lift list in Jeff Okuda of Ohio State,

376
00:19:19,400 –> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: who seems to be like the perfect fighter pilot. He

377
00:19:22,400 –> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: can jump right into the P fifty one right now

378
00:19:24,440 –> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: and go defend the B seventeens as they go by.

379
00:19:27,400 –> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: The enemy of kudas seems he can play man basically

380
00:19:30,720 –> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: better man, but can play his own splendid athlete. But

381
00:19:33,240 –> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: o’cuda is going to go, I think before the Chiefs

382
00:19:34,960 –> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: get to pick. Yeah, but Kuda is what you call

383
00:19:37,920 –> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: ice man. If he called if he’s the maverick of

384
00:19:40,680 –> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: top Gun, then one of the other guys would be

385
00:19:43,800 –> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: my man, Trevon Diggs. That’s you know, the Dig’s brother.

386
00:19:47,280 –> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: He’s from Bama. He should I mean, depending on how

387
00:19:50,040 –> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: the draft go come thirty two, him, the guy from

388
00:19:54,920 –> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: Terrell from Clemson. You know those guys will still be

389
00:19:58,720 –> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: in the play around thirty too, um. And if they’re

390
00:20:01,680 –> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: all on the board come to twenty five twenty six pick,

391
00:20:05,040 –> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: then that might be uh, just close enough for you know,

392
00:20:08,480 –> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: our man vas to kind of package a couple of

393
00:20:10,320 –> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: picks together and move up five slots slots to get

394
00:20:14,160 –> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: the guy he really wants. But even later on in

395
00:20:16,640 –> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: the draft, there’s a there’s a number of guys um

396
00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: that are available. A lot of long lenky project type

397
00:20:23,200 –> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 1: corners aren’t plugging play guys. Aren’t guys are gonna come

398
00:20:25,760 –> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: in and be your number one or your number two corner.

399
00:20:28,320 –> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: But have the physical tools, um to get into a

400
00:20:32,119 –> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, get into an organization, especially like ours, where

401
00:20:35,560 –> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: you can learn from some of the best technically saying guys.

402
00:20:38,640 –> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: Coach Madison UM and coach Spags can can teach a

403
00:20:42,080 –> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: guy up just to play a certain position, uh, maybe

404
00:20:45,040 –> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: not overload them with the entire playbook, have him playing Uh,

405
00:20:48,560 –> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 1: late late in the game. Uh some some some some

406
00:20:51,480 –> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: closed out type downs. Have him work on his posture,

407
00:20:55,240 –> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: his pop position, his playmaking ability, his communication. And those

408
00:20:59,440 –> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: guys I think did you get later in the rounds

409
00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: are some of the guys I’m looking excited for our

410
00:21:04,240 –> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs to do ath we feel phillips some knees and

411
00:21:07,280 –> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: get some best available with the first two or three picks. Yet.

412
00:21:09,840 –> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: To me, those are the kind of guys that start

413
00:21:11,880 –> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: maybe in your nickel or dime package, become really good

414
00:21:14,880 –> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: special teams players, and then potentially then drift or morph

415
00:21:19,760 –> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: into a starting role in the last half of the season.

416
00:21:22,000 –> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 1: You mentioned Diggs Stefon, Diggs’s brother. One of the things

417
00:21:24,880 –> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: I like in corners I’ve learned in this league are

418
00:21:28,400 –> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 1: those who have been wide receivers in college or at

419
00:21:30,720 –> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: least started that way. I did a minute with Mitch

420
00:21:32,720 –> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: on this. I do a series called a minute with

421
00:21:34,920 –> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: Mitch during the season. And who really grows up wanting

422
00:21:37,440 –> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: to play corner? They all want to be a quarterback

423
00:21:39,040 –> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: of the wide receiver, right, That’s what everybody wants to do.

424
00:21:41,520 –> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: And then they become corners. You turn them into a corner.

425
00:21:44,680 –> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: But either either college wide receivers or high school quarterbacks.

426
00:21:47,880 –> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: At one time during the season, we had ten high

427
00:21:50,920 –> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: school quarterbacks on the Chiefs roster, and several of those

428
00:21:54,560 –> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: were in the defensive secondary, including Brashad Brelan. Now, a

429
00:21:57,920 –> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: guy that I want to talk to about who I’m

430
00:22:00,720 –> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: really intrigued with is Noah Igbinogway Iggy from Auburn, a

431
00:22:06,200 –> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: kick returner. He’s long, forty two tackles, so he’s a

432
00:22:10,000 –> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: willing tackler, and they see the SEC where it’s the

433
00:22:12,320 –> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: closest thing in the SEC west to the National Football

434
00:22:15,720 –> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: League seven passers broken up. But Igang, to me is

435
00:22:20,400 –> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: a really intriguing prospect, either thirty two or maybe, as

436
00:22:23,280 –> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: you were saying, in the second or third round, if

437
00:22:24,880 –> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: you can last that long. Yeah, I like that. Here,

438
00:22:26,720 –> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: I from Auburn a lot too. And what you do

439
00:22:28,600 –> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: know about these cornerbacks that used to be where receivers

440
00:22:31,040 –> 00:22:33,679
Speaker 1: is they already know the passing try They know the

441
00:22:33,760 –> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: route combinations, so you don’t have to spend time over

442
00:22:39,200 –> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: coaching what to expect when you see a bunch. Look

443
00:22:42,000 –> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: you see three receivers together. They know the combination of

444
00:22:44,560 –> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: routes to come from these things, and then it makes

445
00:22:46,800 –> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: them be that much more anticipatory. Being able to anticipate

446
00:22:52,160 –> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: with the break spots on a route. Routes are only

447
00:22:55,160 –> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: run at, you know, four or five different depths. You

448
00:22:57,359 –> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: know you don’t see. You know, it’s it’s a quick route,

449
00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: it’s a five yard route, it’s a thirteen yard route,

450
00:23:02,080 –> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: or it goes to eighteen or has gone down the field.

451
00:23:05,240 –> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: There’s natural breakpoints because they have to mirror the depth

452
00:23:08,680 –> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: of a quarterback or the steps of a quarterback. When

453
00:23:11,119 –> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: a quarterback does a three step drop, five step drop,

454
00:23:14,119 –> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: seven step drop. There are only certain depths that routes

455
00:23:16,760 –> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: get to and those are are natural break points. Some

456
00:23:20,359 –> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: dbs don’t understand that concept, and they get caught with

457
00:23:23,280 –> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: double moves, they get caught with being out of phase

458
00:23:26,680 –> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: when you talk about in man coverage. But those that

459
00:23:29,080 –> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: played the receiver position, because they are already so natural

460
00:23:32,480 –> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: at that that that clock that goes in your head

461
00:23:35,080 –> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: about when a quarterback hits his fifth spot, the ball’s

462
00:23:38,080 –> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: coming out, when to look for the ball, those guys

463
00:23:40,480 –> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: end up being phenomenal. We talked about Champ Bailey, you know,

464
00:23:43,960 –> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: he was a Swiss Army knife for Georgia receiver running

465
00:23:48,160 –> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 1: back dB, but he exhaled at the defensive position because

466
00:23:51,720 –> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: he anticipated what the offensive receivers are doing on every route. Well,

467
00:23:56,640 –> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: your guy, Dean Standers, was that too return or a playoffense?

468
00:24:01,400 –> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: But I also like the guys who were high school quarterbacks,

469
00:24:04,240 –> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of corners in this league

470
00:24:05,880 –> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: that played high school quarterback or safeties. One Thornhill was

471
00:24:08,960 –> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: the same way because they understand. You’re talking about the

472
00:24:11,760 –> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: nuances of understanding every route on the tree as a

473
00:24:13,960 –> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver. If a corner also knows, you can get

474
00:24:17,040 –> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: into quarterback’s head and what they’re thinking. And when I

475
00:24:19,119 –> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: do my study, he’s either looking at him on his

476
00:24:22,480 –> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: tendencies or two what’s he thinking? If I can think

477
00:24:25,119 –> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: like a quarterback as a cornerback, to me, it’s an asset. Oh, definitely.

478
00:24:29,480 –> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: On defense, you get inside position, you’re trying to take

479
00:24:31,880 –> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: the inside away where he thinks that three step drop

480
00:24:34,920 –> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: on that out route is gonna be wide open. Well,

481
00:24:37,400 –> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: he doesn’t know that you used to play quarterback, and

482
00:24:39,480 –> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: so you baited him by lining up inside just to

483
00:24:42,680 –> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 1: rob that outside cut. That’s how so many picks are

484
00:24:45,280 –> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: being made nowadays. Defensively, we have to start lying to

485
00:24:50,640 –> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback so as eyes. When you get a quarterback

486
00:24:53,320 –> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: that doesn’t trust his eyes, then you have him hesitate.

487
00:24:56,119 –> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: When they hesitate, that allows Frank the tank, the sharp

488
00:25:00,200 –> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: to get there. That allows your pass thrush, your linebackers

489
00:25:02,840 –> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: to get there. You just want them to hesitate one second.

490
00:25:05,280 –> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: Be a little bit unsure about what the technique is

491
00:25:07,600 –> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: and what the coverage is. Is it man’s own? Is

492
00:25:10,440 –> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: it true? Man? Is it helped defense as a robber defense.

493
00:25:14,160 –> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 1: If you can make a quarterback hesitate just for a second,

494
00:25:17,720 –> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: automatically depends on the momentum swings to the defense, big play,

495
00:25:21,359 –> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: interception defense. Some of these other guys that are in

496
00:25:25,119 –> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: this draft, Jalen Johnson of Utah’s thought it would be

497
00:25:29,520 –> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: kind of be a both zone and man guy. Played

498
00:25:31,280 –> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 1: against good players on the Pac twelve. Also, Christin Fulton

499
00:25:35,800 –> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: of LSU had a really good combine. Darnay Holmes of UCLA.

500
00:25:40,160 –> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: Some list him as a safety, sum as a corner,

501
00:25:41,920 –> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: a hybrid guy, maybe a good nickel corner. He was

502
00:25:45,520 –> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: better in eighteen than in nineteen with UCLA, and then

503
00:25:49,040 –> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 1: he had a very good Senior Bowl. But here again

504
00:25:51,800 –> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: is where you’ve got to trust your scouting staff and

505
00:25:53,880 –> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: Brett Veach because we’re in a protocol now. We’re all

506
00:25:56,800 –> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: trying to you know, defeat here the coronavirus at least

507
00:25:59,760 –> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: get a to level off. That’s why we’re all in

508
00:26:01,400 –> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: this position all across the earth, really. But here’s where

509
00:26:05,000 –> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: you have to really kind of trust the work you’ve

510
00:26:07,640 –> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: done to this point, because I’m not getting to go

511
00:26:09,960 –> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: look at my fighter pilot on his campus. I’m not

512
00:26:13,119 –> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: getting to do that, and I’m not getting the top

513
00:26:15,280 –> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: fighter pilot the guys that we mentioned to come to

514
00:26:17,520 –> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: my facility and take a look at him to see

515
00:26:20,280 –> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: how he’s doing all of the characteristics that we’ve talked

516
00:26:22,440 –> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: about here. So there’s going to be there’s got to

517
00:26:25,960 –> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: be some trust factor here in bread Beach and his

518
00:26:27,840 –> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: guys to me, especially at this position, because they’ve got

519
00:26:32,000 –> 00:26:36,719
Speaker 1: to get this position at least strengthened some or at

520
00:26:36,760 –> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: least bulked up. You only have five on the roster

521
00:26:38,760 –> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: we mentioned, you got to get ten or eleven. To me,

522
00:26:40,920 –> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: that’s a couple of free agents, a couple of bargain

523
00:26:42,960 –> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: free agents, and then maybe one perhaps two in this

524
00:26:45,880 –> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: draft if you can get him or a college free

525
00:26:48,480 –> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 1: agent to fill in those gaps. Yeah, and we got

526
00:26:51,119 –> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: to use some of our young guys. Right, so we

527
00:26:53,119 –> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: know that we had a safety come from Uva. Well,

528
00:26:56,720 –> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: guess what it’s a corner Bryce Haw at Uva. If

529
00:26:59,520 –> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: anybody knows him, that’s this guy right wing. Hey, what

530
00:27:02,960 –> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: was the great aspects about this guy from Hall from Uva?

531
00:27:05,640 –> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 1: Like what you know? Could he could he fit here?

532
00:27:07,280 –> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: You know what we need here? Does he fit? Um?

533
00:27:10,040 –> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: Aj Terrell? He was at Clemson when d d thereno

534
00:27:14,160 –> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 1: Daniel was there. So you got to rely on these

535
00:27:16,240 –> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: guys to be like, hey man, this is it. Ain’t

536
00:27:18,720 –> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: one of these things where you just signed off on

537
00:27:20,000 –> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: him because you want to you know, ho ha h.

538
00:27:22,080 –> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: We went to the same school. Uh, let’s sign off. No, No,

539
00:27:25,200 –> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 1: this guy’s about to be part of your NFL team.

540
00:27:26,920 –> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: You want them to be successful at this level. You know,

541
00:27:29,200 –> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: don’t bring a guy who ain’t about it. If he

542
00:27:30,960 –> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: ain’t got what it takes, let us know so we

543
00:27:32,800 –> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: can move on. If he’s not a great fit for

544
00:27:34,840 –> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: what what this culture is, this environment, this championship environment.

545
00:27:38,440 –> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: If they can’t survive uh, you know and in deep

546
00:27:41,760 –> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: waters and they’re not willing to you know, do what

547
00:27:43,800 –> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 1: it takes to be great. Uh, let’s not even let’s

548
00:27:46,440 –> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: not spend any time worrying about him. And I think

549
00:27:48,640 –> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: with the whole uh COVID you know, COVID nineteen and

550
00:27:52,040 –> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: the lack of contacted scouting departments half with these college players,

551
00:27:56,640 –> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: it puts a lot of light on your process being

552
00:27:59,640 –> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: greater than your product. And what we know about Beach

553
00:28:02,040 –> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: and his guys, they’ve they’ve gone through the grind of

554
00:28:05,640 –> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: getting all their their boards done back in December, and

555
00:28:09,760 –> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: so where where a lot of teams might depend on

556
00:28:12,640 –> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: that individual meeting to sign off on a guy, I

557
00:28:16,280 –> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: think I think some of the really good teams, really

558
00:28:18,080 –> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: good scouting departments, I’m not sure if they needed as

559
00:28:21,320 –> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: much as some of these teams that have been struggling

560
00:28:23,320 –> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: with getting the guy, the right type of guys into

561
00:28:25,760 –> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: the camp. I put that on Twitter, I think two

562
00:28:27,880 –> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 1: days ago, but I said maybe yesterday. Consistency and continuity

563
00:28:33,160 –> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: here are big communication and culture. I think that is

564
00:28:37,040 –> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: going to be a big, huge part of the twenty

565
00:28:39,360 –> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: twenty NFL seasons. So teams like the Chiefs or the

566
00:28:41,760 –> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: Ravens or the Saints have all of that in place,

567
00:28:44,960 –> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: but to narrow it down to this position to my fighter,

568
00:28:47,360 –> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: our fighter pilot position. I think it really comes into

569
00:28:50,840 –> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: focus because the Chiefs at the very least need to

570
00:28:53,360 –> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: bulk it up numbers wise. Now, this is a you

571
00:28:56,440 –> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: could say a need position, but it’s needed in a

572
00:28:59,520 –> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: variety of ways. You know, I look at guys in

573
00:29:01,600 –> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: the league that I respect, one of the cool things

574
00:29:03,560 –> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: and about the one on one and you and I

575
00:29:05,400 –> 00:29:07,959
Speaker 1: got the Dodos with others just host some of the

576
00:29:08,120 –> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: award winners. Well I got to help host Stefan Gilmore

577
00:29:11,360 –> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. All Right, we don’t like

578
00:29:13,240 –> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but I’m gonna tell you what, I’m a

579
00:29:15,200 –> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore. Fantine completions against him, and he’s a press

580
00:29:19,480 –> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: cover corner, maybe the best corner in league. He was

581
00:29:21,480 –> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, so yeah, I guess he’s

582
00:29:23,680 –> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: the best corner in the league. But a guy like

583
00:29:25,480 –> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: that Tredavious White of the Buffalo Bills can absolutely take

584
00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: your team to a next level. And if the Chiefs

585
00:29:34,080 –> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: were twelve and four, you get the cornerback position to

586
00:29:37,360 –> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: become even more exciting and explosive. Now you can take

587
00:29:40,880 –> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: it’s almost thirteen and three or fourteen in two by

588
00:29:43,440 –> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 1: getting a corner who cheeses a play, pick six on

589
00:29:46,680 –> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: a long play, or make the you know the outstanding

590
00:29:49,960 –> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: plays that a Gilmore or a White can make to

591
00:29:51,800 –> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: dictate and change a game. Man. Gilmore was so impressive

592
00:29:55,160 –> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: at the one on one. He gave all the credit

593
00:29:57,360 –> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: to his teammates, and when we talked about what was

594
00:29:59,720 –> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: next for him, he said, going back examining myself, there

595
00:30:02,800 –> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: is still so many flaws, he said. The one great

596
00:30:04,800 –> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: thing about coach Belichick, you know when he pat you

597
00:30:06,880 –> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: on the back, you did it. You did something tremendous.

598
00:30:09,480 –> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: He’s seen so much great football on the defensive side

599
00:30:12,040 –> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: of the ball. Did you know if he gives you

600
00:30:13,600 –> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 1: some credit, even a data boy, it’s something you can

601
00:30:16,240 –> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: hang your hat on. He doesn’t give him out often,

602
00:30:18,280 –> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: and so it’s something that everybody in that culture was

603
00:30:20,560 –> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: working towards. I think if you look about you know

604
00:30:22,680 –> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: coach spagnotics. Spags has been around some really great defensive

605
00:30:26,320 –> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: units and so for this unit to be one that

606
00:30:28,400 –> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: he enjoys being around. You see the joy in his

607
00:30:31,440 –> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: eyes when it’s time to practice. He’s not having to

608
00:30:33,840 –> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: be dragged out to the field of work with this

609
00:30:35,800 –> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: group of guys again, No, No, he’s excited about it.

610
00:30:38,320 –> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: He gets so I’m put some impact on his impact

611
00:30:42,240 –> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: on this chief’s kingdom. So I think the mentality of

612
00:30:45,400 –> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: this whole defense has has just turned the page. It

613
00:30:48,920 –> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what happened in the past,

614
00:30:50,840 –> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: is all about what’s happening right now on the present,

615
00:30:52,840 –> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: in the future for this defense, I think all things

616
00:30:55,400 –> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: are trending up with and it begins with some of

617
00:30:57,400 –> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: the personnel you can’t give to around Matt. You enough

618
00:31:00,360 –> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: credit for what’s going on that back end of having

619
00:31:02,320 –> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: everybody lined up in confidence and ready to play, but

620
00:31:04,960 –> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: also the individual work ethic various war like you said,

621
00:31:07,880 –> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: but Shard, Brelan, Fulton, those guys, Felton, those guys have

622
00:31:11,640 –> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: worked there. You know what’s off to be some of

623
00:31:13,720 –> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: the best um um cover corners and zone break corners

624
00:31:17,960 –> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: in the league. And because they can do both things,

625
00:31:20,920 –> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: it opens up right for coach Spags. He can he

626
00:31:23,680 –> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: can call anything because he’s not he’s not scared he

627
00:31:26,040 –> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: has a guy out there that can’t play a certain

628
00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: guy or he can’t play a certain zone because he’s

629
00:31:30,040 –> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: scared that the balls gonna get thrown over because the

630
00:31:32,120 –> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: guy doesn’t play a deep path or deep quarter the

631
00:31:34,000 –> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: right way. Guys are are becoming so technically sound in

632
00:31:38,480 –> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: their ability. It’s making coach Spags job a lot easier.

633
00:31:42,760 –> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: He has confidence in them, They have confidence and in

634
00:31:45,880 –> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: his calls. And you see what happens when everybody communicates.

635
00:31:49,760 –> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: It’s a beautiful thing to be a defensive player and

636
00:31:52,040 –> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: see guys working that way. All right, we’re gonna wrap

637
00:31:55,600 –> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: this up. But as you look at between now and

638
00:31:59,120 –> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: the draft, we’re kind a less than a month. To me,

639
00:32:02,400 –> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: this position I’ve got under the microscope more than any

640
00:32:05,240 –> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: other because you’re laid out here and to find those

641
00:32:08,640 –> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: rare guys that can beat Skegee Airman, your fighter pilots,

642
00:32:11,720 –> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: if nothing else, the Chiefs have got to bulk up here.

643
00:32:14,120 –> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: They’ve got to find five or six guys to get

644
00:32:16,640 –> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: the group that they would want to go to training camp.

645
00:32:19,040 –> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: But drafting a guy free agency, even developing some of

646
00:32:21,640 –> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: their guys even more, to me, is paramount. It’s necessary

647
00:32:25,160 –> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: for this Chiefs team to take to try to get

648
00:32:27,960 –> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: back and win that title again. Yeah, a few more

649
00:32:30,240 –> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: red tales. This, grab a couple more red tales and

650
00:32:32,880 –> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: add them to the crew man. As we know coach

651
00:32:35,960 –> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Spags having coach Madison, they gonna have these guys ready

652
00:32:38,440 –> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: to row. When you look at teams for the last thing,

653
00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: you look at the teams, if you had to say

654
00:32:43,160 –> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: right now, who can go win? You know you have

655
00:32:46,400 –> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: a new staff to come in for some of these teams,

656
00:32:48,320 –> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: they haven’t had chance that they don’t even know each

657
00:32:50,600 –> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: other yet much less to stat the personnail and the

658
00:32:53,040 –> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: players our team if we had to start the season today,

659
00:32:56,560 –> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: I think a lineup and beat people forty to ten.

660
00:33:00,080 –> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 1: And that’s the beautiful thing to go into a draft

661
00:33:02,240 –> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 1: with no holes, no gaping needs. You can just waiting

662
00:33:06,120 –> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: to see what kind of talent falls into your lap

663
00:33:08,600 –> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: and start, you know, down your draft board, your big board,

664
00:33:11,880 –> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: accumulate more and more talent, and when it comes to

665
00:33:14,320 –> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: that cornerback position, get guys that truly fit from a

666
00:33:17,720 –> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: communication level, who is going to really do well in

667
00:33:21,600 –> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: this environment. It’s a great thing to see that come

668
00:33:23,960 –> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 1: into the kingdom. All right, You’ve done a great job

669
00:33:26,240 –> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: with your kids in the stay at home protocol that

670
00:33:29,120 –> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: we’re in. You’ve got your own one room country school there,

671
00:33:31,640 –> 00:33:34,440

672
00:33:34,520 –> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: your wife and helping those kids and stressing academics. But

673
00:33:37,720 –> 00:33:40,400
