00:01:25,600 –> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: though um, and you know everybody is in the stay

Speaker 1: Greater Kansas City Day when it’s Royal’s opening season. So
29
00:01:40,880 –> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: I think the city of Kansas City will definitely show
30
00:01:43,280 –> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: their respect, their honor, UM. And how committed we are
31
00:01:47,000 –> 00:01:49,760

00:01:49,800 –> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: them enough for all they’re doing to keep us safe,
33
00:01:52,240 –> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: keep us healthy. UM in this um in this packet
34
00:01:55,960 –> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: and it’s panded whatever. Yeah, I’ve talked to health administrators,
35
00:02:05,120 –> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 1: people involved in that industry, and man, they are just
36
00:02:08,720 –> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: under the gun. They are incredible and they are heroes
37
00:02:12,800 –> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: and heroines in this time that we’re living. All right,
38
00:02:15,919 –> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: let’s jump into the quarterback situation. And there are four
39
00:02:18,840 –> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: guys right now on the current roster of the Kansas
40
00:02:22,080 –> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. That’s what we’ve kind of done here now
41
00:02:25,080 –> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: for two months barbershop, and I have looked at every
42
00:02:28,240 –> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: room so far going through the roster. Then we look
43
00:02:31,440 –> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: at the free agents, although this one doesn’t really matter
44
00:02:33,560 –> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: with the quarterback free agents, that’s not a big part
45
00:02:35,600 –> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: of the discussion. But the draft is. And as I
46
00:02:39,040 –> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: alluded to earlier on Twitter, like why would we talk
47
00:02:41,080 –> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks in the draft because we got the goat
48
00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: right with Patrick Mahomes. Just bear with us here because
49
00:02:47,040 –> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: we’ve got some different looks at this that may alter
50
00:02:51,240 –> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: your way of thinking or at least open up some thought.
51
00:02:53,160 –> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: But Patrick Mahomes, I mean, we could do the rest
52
00:02:55,480 –> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: of the podcast, the rest of our lives on him
53
00:02:57,960 –> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: a shop you played in this year, are this league
54
00:03:00,080 –> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: for ten years? When I look at him with seventy
55
00:03:02,560 –> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: six touchdowns and seventeen picks in two years, his completion percentage,
56
00:03:08,360 –> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: all of his volume is production and this is the
57
00:03:10,960 –> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Goat’s goat. But to me too is the way he
58
00:03:14,760 –> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: handles this room. I thought the year he had with
59
00:03:17,680 –> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Aarleic Smith was great, but I think he learned a
60
00:03:19,760 –> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: lot on how to handle that room. He’s phenomenal in
61
00:03:23,320 –> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: our locker room, but in that quarterback room, this guy
62
00:03:26,760 –> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: is just for real big time. Yeah, we talk about
63
00:03:29,680 –> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: the guys able to play beyond his years. He played.
64
00:03:32,760 –> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: He played like a season veteran right out of the shoot.
65
00:03:34,720 –> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: He’s able to identify defenses, know their strength and weaknesses,
66
00:03:39,080 –> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: know how our plays are going to develop against that defense.
67
00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: And he’s never he’s never, He’s never trigged, no matter
68
00:03:46,840 –> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: what kind of disguise is the backing is using, no
69
00:03:49,080 –> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: matter who you bring and don’t bring, he can feel
70
00:03:51,280 –> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: the pressure. He has the mobility, he has all the
71
00:03:54,400 –> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: arm slots, he has tremendous armed talent. But he has
72
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: that visionary and then you talk about the leadership ability
73
00:04:00,720 –> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: bringing a team together in a certain path, in a
74
00:04:04,080 –> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: certain direction, being able to follow the two legi coach
75
00:04:07,280 –> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Andy Reid getting all fifty three guys on the same
76
00:04:09,760 –> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: page to stomp in March in one accord is what
77
00:04:14,080 –> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: led to us being a championship team. We’ve talked about communication.
78
00:04:18,400 –> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: He is the one A plus elite level, top dog,
79
00:04:22,120 –> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: alpha dog everywhere you wanted to describe it. He doesn’t
80
00:04:25,440 –> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: let his good prevent him from being great, and then
81
00:04:27,880 –> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: when greatness hits him, he doesn’t allow greatness to prevent
82
00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: him from being elite. And we see an all time
83
00:04:33,240 –> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: level of productivity at the quarterback position. We talk about
84
00:04:36,480 –> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: that quarterback room. He leads to charge and he does
85
00:04:39,880 –> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: it each and every day, and then the season he
86
00:04:45,200 –> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. Yeah, shot, we’ve seen it before.
87
00:04:47,880 –> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: You may tricking for a second or two, but he’s
88
00:04:51,080 –> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: gonna win the next ten seconds. And then you may
89
00:04:53,480 –> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: trick in for a play maybe maybe, but he’s gonna
90
00:04:56,240 –> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: win the next twenty five plays. But I love his
91
00:05:00,120 –> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: mentality and how he deals with people. I’m a big
92
00:05:03,400 –> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: fan of his mom. I think his mom. But he’s
93
00:05:06,360 –> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: great in handling and dealing with our guys as you mentioned.
94
00:05:09,279 –> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: But the rest of this room, Chad Henny is right
95
00:05:12,480 –> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: now the backup for this team. And Chad had the
96
00:05:15,240 –> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: injury last year in the Pittsburgh preseason game. Prior to that,
97
00:05:18,680 –> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: in camp he looked great, and during the preseason games
98
00:05:22,360 –> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: that he got to play, he looked very good. But
99
00:05:24,640 –> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: he’s only played seven games, seven real games since twenty thirteen.
100
00:05:28,920 –> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: But Chad Henney in that backup role, and now we
101
00:05:31,480 –> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: have seen throughout the league just the value of backups
102
00:05:34,839 –> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: what Matt Moore did last year. I mean, so the
103
00:05:36,600 –> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: Wikipedia definition of a backup quarterback, you must win a
104
00:05:40,120 –> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: meaningful game, and that’s what happened for the Chiefs last
105
00:05:42,680 –> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: year and look what it meant for their entire season.
106
00:05:45,240 –> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: So Nat Chad Henny slips back into the backup role. Yeah,
107
00:05:48,400 –> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: I think Chad must have shown coach Brett Veach and
108
00:05:52,080 –> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: coach Andy Reid so much, such a grasp and understanding
109
00:05:56,120 –> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: about the offense that even without gameplay, even though you know,
110
00:06:00,600 –> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: Moore came in and lost the game, won the game,
111
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: won a big game against the Vikings for us. He
112
00:06:05,240 –> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: showed that he could win with our offense. But we
113
00:06:07,920 –> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: don’t really know how much we had to manipulate or
114
00:06:10,920 –> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: adjust the offensive calls to fit Matt Moore’s talent. I think,
115
00:06:15,040 –> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, Henny has showed through training camp, through the preseason,
116
00:06:18,839 –> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 1: before he got injured last season, that he was able,
117
00:06:21,560 –> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: he was capable of understanding the call, He was able
118
00:06:25,240 –> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 1: to being able to run the offense without having to
119
00:06:28,400 –> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: make any adjustments to offer the philosophy. Now, I think
120
00:06:30,880 –> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: that’s one thing that coach values over actual induction. Is
121
00:06:34,680 –> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: this somebody in that room, that veteran leadership who can
122
00:06:37,400 –> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: understand things. He can be Another coach coaches another set
123
00:06:41,320 –> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: of eyes for our coaching staff, because he’s seeing things
124
00:06:43,839 –> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: the same way coaches does. He’s been in the league
125
00:06:45,600 –> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: so long, the coverage aspect, the pressure aspect, the pros
126
00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: and cons of what kind of play philosophies works certainem
127
00:06:55,600 –> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: I think he’s looking at things through the same set
128
00:06:57,720 –> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: of eyes as coach Andy Reid. And you can’t have
129
00:06:59,760 –> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: enough those guys in any room or on the field
130
00:07:02,920 –> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: at one time. And I think that lead toward the
131
00:07:05,640 –> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: entire quarterback room working at a higher level. Yeah, and
132
00:07:11,400 –> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: when you look too, there’s a lot of eyes are
133
00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: surrounding Patrick Mahomes and I think Henny fits right in
134
00:07:17,880 –> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: with what Mike Kafka does. Eric, I mean a coach.
135
00:07:20,920 –> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: Coach read, of course, coach read, but don’t forget my
136
00:07:24,400 –> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: calf in this. The dudes, I think it’s a brand dude,
137
00:07:27,040 –> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: all right. Kyle Schrmer here last year look good in
138
00:07:29,960 –> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: the preseason. I remember his game against Chicago. He looked great,
139
00:07:33,040 –> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: and then there was the pick six there or some
140
00:07:34,600 –> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: protection breakdowns, ball gets broken up and Chicago gets a
141
00:07:38,160 –> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: pick six and actually turns that preseason game around. I
142
00:07:41,240 –> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: liked shermert Vanderbilt. I liked him a lot. He beat
143
00:07:43,600 –> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee several years and hard to do when you’re a
144
00:07:46,440 –> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt quarterback. But he also was thirty three or fifty
145
00:07:49,800 –> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: six last year, so accuracy in the preseason three sixteen
146
00:07:52,680 –> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in a pick. The other interesting thing is
147
00:07:55,560 –> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: Dad is now defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncast. So
148
00:08:00,080 –> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: it’s an intelligence game going on here. It’s just like
149
00:08:02,280 –> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: mission impossible, like like that, like the little fuse that
150
00:08:05,160 –> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: we’d see going across the screen. Now, like who’s gonna
151
00:08:07,360 –> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: get the most intel his dad or Kyle with us man,
152
00:08:10,960 –> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: that’s gonna be an interesting dynamics to even pay attention
153
00:08:14,360 –> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: to doing training camp. You know, you can’t ignore the
154
00:08:17,240 –> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: fact that they do share the same last name, and
155
00:08:20,040 –> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: that being a guy in our division at a defensive
156
00:08:22,920 –> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: coordinator job. I would hate to see a guy lose
157
00:08:25,440 –> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: their job because their dad ends up being the DC
158
00:08:28,520 –> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: at a at a rival team. But if there’s any
159
00:08:31,160 –> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: scenario where that might happen, I mean, you gotta you
160
00:08:34,920 –> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: gotta protect your intel. You gotta protect why we’re doing things,
161
00:08:38,400 –> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: why we do certain protections, why we shift things, why
162
00:08:41,360 –> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: we change things up, and if you’re in the quarterback room, um,
163
00:08:45,320 –> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: that’s all access you have access to. The reason we
164
00:08:47,880 –> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: do everything offensively is in that quarterback room. That’s where
165
00:08:50,800 –> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: it begins and starts and so and maybe that was
166
00:08:54,400 –> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: a reason we actually went out and acquired another quarterback.
167
00:08:57,800 –> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: I know you’re gonna talk about him soon. Yeah, And
168
00:09:00,520 –> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: we’re gonna get into the fourth quarterback in the room.
169
00:09:03,200 –> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Who’s a very interesting discussion in my opinion, and we’re
170
00:09:06,760 –> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: going to go some different ways that I haven’t heard
171
00:09:08,559 –> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: anybody go there yet with this guy. But Jordan Tamu,
172
00:09:13,760 –> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: who was the XFL BattleHawks quarterback for Saint louis really interesting.
173
00:09:19,400 –> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: Dude six three twenty one, the third highest rated quarterback
174
00:09:23,240 –> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: in the XFL. But prior to that had two years
175
00:09:25,960 –> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: at Old Miss, two very big years at Old Miss.
176
00:09:28,679 –> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: Fifty six hundred yards passing thirty touchdowns in just two years.
177
00:09:32,640 –> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: Why junior college transfer. He was at New Mexico Military
178
00:09:36,800 –> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: Community College after coming from Pearl City, Hawaii. So think
179
00:09:40,960 –> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: of the Hawaiian quarterbacks here right, Tua comes into this discussion.
180
00:09:45,040 –> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota, now an Oakland Raider. Here’s another one, Jordan
181
00:09:48,320 –> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: tam who played for Pearl City right there by Pearl
182
00:09:50,760 –> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: Harbor on the East side of Honolulu. But this kid
183
00:09:56,040 –> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: now has some ability. If you look at his video
184
00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: his ability. He played with DK Metcalf, there’s a lot
185
00:10:01,800 –> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: of times they hooked up at all Miss. But Tama
186
00:10:04,480 –> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: brings some talent to this room, and I think there’s
187
00:10:07,440 –> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 1: some interest in a while, the Chiefs really kind of
188
00:10:10,000 –> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: recruited him to be a part of this quarterback group. Yeah,
189
00:10:13,160 –> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: we talk about this league being a copycat league, and
190
00:10:16,480 –> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: it’s hard to say that the Chiefs have any need
191
00:10:18,640 –> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: or necessity to copy what anybody else is doing with
192
00:10:21,840 –> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: this success we’ve had on the offensive side, but you
193
00:10:24,960 –> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: have the same so offense and how they’ve been using
194
00:10:28,960 –> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. That has to intrigue everybody that that mobile quarterback,
195
00:10:34,040 –> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: that h back position, that’s that ability to catch a
196
00:10:37,520 –> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: flow sweep and still pass the ball very actively down
197
00:10:40,480 –> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: the field, even coming in on short yardage to run
198
00:10:43,960 –> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback sneak. If we refer to last year, that
199
00:10:46,640 –> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: was to play the scenario that you know, Pat Mahomes
200
00:10:49,840 –> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: dislocated his knee. If you can alleviate that opportunity for
201
00:10:54,920 –> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: injury just by your your third or fourth quarterback position
202
00:10:58,640 –> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: being somebody who can do all the things, and he
203
00:11:00,880 –> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: has the ability to still play special teams. Um, he
204
00:11:03,679 –> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: has a dimension to fake punts, um and um in
205
00:11:07,760 –> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: the in that scenario that owns up that playbook even
206
00:11:11,280 –> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: more so we talk about a blooming, blossoming Kansas City
207
00:11:14,880 –> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs offensive attack, I think a mobile quarterback um like this,
208
00:11:19,920 –> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: this guy from the XFL can add that that that
209
00:11:22,760 –> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: that other ripple um that we’re going to see around
210
00:11:25,320 –> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: the league that I call it the Tim Tebow effect. Um.
211
00:11:28,720 –> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow did it like nobody else. So I think
212
00:11:30,960 –> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: everybody’s gonna try to add some kind of some kind
213
00:11:33,600 –> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: of Taysom Hill um to their playbook. Let’s go there,
214
00:11:37,480 –> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: because that was one of the two places I wanted
215
00:11:39,320 –> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: to go. You beat me to the punch, and it’s great,
216
00:11:41,000 –> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: let’s pick up the discussion there. But Taysom Hill mentor
217
00:11:43,920 –> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: the Saints has everybody thinking. First of all, everybody wants
218
00:11:47,840 –> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: to find Patrick Mahomes prayer of thanks he’s ours all
219
00:11:52,080 –> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: right to go to office. Uh, but we’re gonna get
220
00:11:55,480 –> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: Patrick involved in this discussion in two different realms here
221
00:11:59,679 –> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: um and not this one, but maybe kind of the
222
00:12:03,559 –> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill thing with Jordan. When you watch Jordan on video.
223
00:12:08,040 –> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: The first thing I thought of was Taysom Hill. Why
224
00:12:11,679 –> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: because of Jordan’s ability? Watch his quarterback draws at Old Miss. Now,
225
00:12:16,360 –> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: his forty time is not blazing. He’s not going to
226
00:12:19,320 –> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: win the Olympic hundred meter dash. He’s four seven seven
227
00:12:22,360 –> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: when he came out of Ole Miss running the forty.
228
00:12:24,559 –> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: But it’s his football speed. It’s that fifteen yard speed
229
00:12:28,160 –> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: that he’s got. Watch his quarterback draws at Old Miss.
230
00:12:31,520 –> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: It’s and watch the XFL places at the BattleHawks. Is
231
00:12:35,120 –> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: that this guy can run. Now all of a sudden,
232
00:12:37,720 –> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: let’s put him and Mahomes on the field at the
233
00:12:40,320 –> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: same time. And now this dude at six three two
234
00:12:43,080 –> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: twenty one lines up. Oh, he’s in the slot. Now
235
00:12:46,240 –> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do when you got you got
236
00:12:48,559 –> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: all this other stuff? You got Tyreek Hill and we
237
00:12:50,480 –> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: go right down the list and Kelsey. But now he’s
238
00:12:53,000 –> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: out there and Tam who can run it and he
239
00:12:55,520 –> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: can throw it, and you almost become Darner impossible to
240
00:12:59,000 –> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: defend if you got to defend and something like him.
241
00:13:01,400 –> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: I think there’s special teams. He’ll can block kicks, He’ll
242
00:13:05,480 –> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: can return kicks. I’m not saying Tom who can’t. He
243
00:13:09,040 –> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: might be a guy that can block a kick or
244
00:13:10,600 –> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: be a gun or a flyer, and be a third
245
00:13:12,679 –> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: quarterback on your roster with any active on game day
246
00:13:16,400 –> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: who can do other stuff than just play quarterback. And
247
00:13:18,960 –> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: oh yeah, he can throw the deep all watch his
248
00:13:21,280 –> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: throws to medical He throws numbers to boundary or in
249
00:13:24,320 –> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: the red zone to the corners as good as you’ll find.
250
00:13:27,720 –> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: I mean, there’s there’s more to this discussion. It’s just
251
00:13:29,720 –> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: the first secusion with Toman is that he could be
252
00:13:32,400 –> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: a Tightsome Hill for the Chiefs. Takesome Hill for the Chiefs. Yeah,
253
00:13:36,760 –> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: this is an amazing, amazing next level of thinking. When
254
00:13:42,040 –> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: you always try to stay in front of the curve,
255
00:13:44,520 –> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: the learning curve, everybody takes an off season of saying, hey, man,
256
00:13:47,920 –> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: like the Wildcat offense came out like Gangbusters. No one
257
00:13:52,559 –> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: can stop the Wildcat and give the defensive coordinators a
258
00:13:55,520 –> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: off season looking at film, they stopped the Wildcat. Pat
259
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: Mahomes his to strike down the field. You know, forty touchdowns,
260
00:14:04,720 –> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: almost fifty touchdowns a season. We got to stop his
261
00:14:07,520 –> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: scoring ability. All right, let’s get an offseason and look
262
00:14:10,280 –> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: at it. And now the Taysom Hill package. But you
263
00:14:13,800 –> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: have to have somebody with that dual threat ability, somebody
264
00:14:17,280 –> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: who’s natural starting quarterback, because you can’t rich your starting
265
00:14:20,280 –> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: quarterback in all those scenarios, and I think we found one.
266
00:14:23,520 –> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: We found a way to add another layer of offensive
267
00:14:26,840 –> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: packages to the playbook. And what that does just keep
268
00:14:29,760 –> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: that defensive coordinator preparing for Pat Mahomes, for Kelse, for Hill,
269
00:14:35,680 –> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: for Sammy Watkins, and now you got to prepare for
270
00:14:39,000 –> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: this unknown quarterback now. Also the running game with Williams
271
00:14:44,120 –> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: and Washington. We haven’t talked about him, but just all
272
00:14:48,320 –> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: these different aspects of how a team can attack you.
273
00:14:51,000 –> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: It puts a defense on its heels. It makes you
274
00:14:53,880 –> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: concerned about all the things that might happen instead of
275
00:14:56,600 –> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: going about your business and doing what you can do
276
00:14:58,560 –> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: on defense to prevent to gasm scoring touchdowns and the neatly,
277
00:15:02,720 –> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: it ends up making more vulnerable to Pat Mahomes, which
278
00:15:05,080 –> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: you should be focused on stopping him in the first place,
279
00:15:08,320 –> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: first and foremost. But because we have so many other weapons,
280
00:15:11,200 –> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: it takes your eyes off of the main thing, which
281
00:15:13,520 –> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: is the main thing, which is MBP PET it’s going
282
00:15:17,560 –> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: up and down the field on your defense. Yeah, I
283
00:15:19,920 –> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: think Pat would almost embraced something like that. And if
284
00:15:22,520 –> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: I’ve got to spend this amount more time during the
285
00:15:24,720 –> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: week to let’s say Jordan thom It becomes Taysom Hill,
286
00:15:28,680 –> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I’ve got to spit. That’s
287
00:15:31,280 –> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: less time I’ve got to have to even give the
288
00:15:34,200 –> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: capacity to try to fill a good What they’re gonna
289
00:15:36,320 –> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: do a tireek Hill? Or when they show us trips
290
00:15:38,440 –> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: awt to here at o d Robs in the slot. Oh,
291
00:15:40,600 –> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: it’s hardman in the slot with them? What are we
292
00:15:42,520 –> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna do with that? I mean, I don’t have time
293
00:15:43,960 –> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: to do that if I’ve got to go, well, wait
294
00:15:45,360 –> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: a minute. They just scored last week on this crazy
295
00:15:49,040 –> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: package that they’ve got. And just so you know, Taysom
296
00:15:52,000 –> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: Hill is not a gadget anymore for the Saints. They
297
00:15:54,160 –> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: put a first round tender on him and he played
298
00:15:56,360 –> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the snaps last year in one way,
299
00:15:58,560 –> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: shape or form for the All Right, that’s one place
300
00:16:02,240 –> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: number one with Jordan Tama that the Chiefs could go.
301
00:16:06,000 –> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: Here’s another one. This includes Hanny and Sherman in the
302
00:16:09,240 –> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: whole room, and that is creating equity at the quarterback position.
303
00:16:14,240 –> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: We have seen this now I’m gonna give two examples
304
00:16:16,360 –> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: here that are worthy discussion. One the Packers did this,
305
00:16:19,920 –> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: Remember got him Matt Flynn. That Flynn was he came
306
00:16:23,200 –> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: out of LSU. He was highly regarded. Russell Wilson ended
307
00:16:27,880 –> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: up beating him out after Seattle given him money. Or
308
00:16:30,400 –> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: there was a trade actually that Green Bay did. I think, oh,
309
00:16:33,280 –> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: why would green Bay trade for a quarterback? They already
310
00:16:35,920 –> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: got a quarterback? Well, it creates equity at that spot.
311
00:16:39,560 –> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: A better example are the team is the team that
312
00:16:43,360 –> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: we don’t like to talk about, but we got to
313
00:16:45,040 –> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: talk about, and that’s the New England Patriots. Hear me
314
00:16:47,840 –> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: out on this. Okay, they draft Jared stid him. This
315
00:16:51,360 –> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: is I’m gonna go through the quarterbacks some of the
316
00:16:53,160 –> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: prominent quarterbacks they drafted. With Tom Brady as a starting quarterback,
317
00:16:57,200 –> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: jared’stid him. He could be the pat starter of this year.
318
00:16:59,600 –> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: There’s one two, Jacoby Brissette. They drafted Jacoby Brissette. They
319
00:17:04,119 –> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: trade him for Philip doris Set to the Colts. They
320
00:17:07,280 –> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: get great value out of it. Some dude named Jimmy
321
00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: Garoppolo was drafted in twenty fourteen. What do they do?
322
00:17:13,520 –> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: They trade him for a cornerback in Duke Dawson. I’m
323
00:17:16,160 –> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna throw in Cliff Kingsbury just because he was Mahomes’s
324
00:17:19,560 –> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: college quarterback. He doesn’t factor into this discussion. It’s just
325
00:17:22,280 –> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: too fun to say. He was drafted a No. Three
326
00:17:24,640 –> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: by the Patriots. Matt Castle. Matt Castle taken by the Patriots.
327
00:17:29,960 –> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: They got Brady at quarterback. They trade him to the
328
00:17:32,760 –> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs for Patrick Chung, who’s still playing for the Patriots
329
00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: at safety and part of three Super Bowl championships. Here’s
330
00:17:40,520 –> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: the other part of why you look at a quarterback.
331
00:17:42,960 –> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: You fill that quarterback room. The equity you can create
332
00:17:46,119 –> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: for your team later on with the person that you develop,
333
00:17:50,119 –> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: even within your own program, can find you a player
334
00:17:53,119 –> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: or a need later in the trade market. If you
335
00:17:57,119 –> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: can get a quarterback whist solid skill sets his appreciation,
336
00:18:02,040 –> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: his value only will increase as the Chiefs offense continues
337
00:18:05,960 –> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: put up numbers. As our offense puts up numbers, people
338
00:18:08,920 –> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: aren’t going on the care who was at the quarterback
339
00:18:11,400 –> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: rom who started who they’re gonna see this quarterback was
340
00:18:13,960 –> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: in the room with Pat Mahomes and hope that Osmosis
341
00:18:16,840 –> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: might have took over, that he might have seen something
342
00:18:19,280 –> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: about Pat’s pregame preparation, the way he looks at things
343
00:18:23,119 –> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: and they’re gonna say, we’re gonna get somebody. It was
344
00:18:25,000 –> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 1: in the same room as Pat Mahomes was a year
345
00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: or two or even training camp. And maybe just maybe
346
00:18:31,080 –> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: he can add that spark to our offense. Maybe just
347
00:18:33,440 –> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: maybe he can add a little bit of that flavor
348
00:18:35,560 –> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: to what we got going on and give but that
349
00:18:37,680 –> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: spark we need for our offense to take off. So
350
00:18:40,560 –> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: as the draft comes, as trade comes, having the ability
351
00:18:44,080 –> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: to capture a few extra quarterbacks and then in the
352
00:18:48,960 –> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: season being able to trade those assets away for future
353
00:18:52,600 –> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: draft picks for players of need, being able to get
354
00:18:55,400 –> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: a starting safety or starting rush in a starting offensive tackle.
355
00:18:59,600 –> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: That’s one position I think that holds the value longer
356
00:19:03,080 –> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: than any other position. We saw. It happened with the
357
00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins when they had RG three and then Kirk Cousins,
358
00:19:09,480 –> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: and they held on the Kirk Cousins year after year
359
00:19:11,840 –> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: after year until they got a boatload from him and
360
00:19:15,440 –> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota signed to that three year guarantee year. So you
361
00:19:19,320 –> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: can hold on to those quarterbacks and even without a
362
00:19:21,640 –> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: lot of playing time, their value, their equity still remains
363
00:19:25,920 –> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: high year after year. All Right, that doves tails into
364
00:19:29,320 –> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 1: the nast discussion and getting into this current list of quarterbacks.
365
00:19:32,680 –> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: So there’s two reasons we’re gonna just and we’ll go
366
00:19:36,080 –> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: through these guys pretty quickly. But the third discussion here
367
00:19:40,160 –> 00:19:44,479
Speaker 1: is what happens with these quarterbacks in the draft. Particular,
368
00:19:44,480 –> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: a guy named Jordan Love at a Utah State. He’s
369
00:19:46,600 –> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: gaining a lot more discussion as the months have gone on.
370
00:19:50,520 –> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 1: You’re a guy, you’re ambassador Tony Adams, who played quarterback
371
00:19:52,960 –> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: at Utah State. We were talking about him a long
372
00:19:54,920 –> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: time ago, but now people are noticing how where he’s
373
00:19:57,280 –> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: a bit of a lightning rod. You’ll get some experts.
374
00:20:00,000 –> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: I think he’s way overrated. Summer think he’s the next
375
00:20:02,320 –> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: patron go Mahomes. All Right, that being said, where he’s
376
00:20:06,880 –> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: going to fall could push others down. There aren’t quarterbacks.
377
00:20:11,320 –> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: But what it could do for Brett Veach is create
378
00:20:14,160 –> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 1: equity at the thirty two spot where the Chiefs are.
379
00:20:17,359 –> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: Remember the Chiefs only have five picks, so you stay
380
00:20:20,400 –> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: at thirty two. You either try to trade up, but
381
00:20:22,760 –> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: you don’t have a lot of collateral to do that,
382
00:20:25,520 –> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: but you could trade down and get extra picks. It’s
383
00:20:28,080 –> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: the Chris Jones philosophy. In twenty sixteen, the Chiefs go
384
00:20:31,400 –> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: from twenty eight to thirty seven and get Chris Jones
385
00:20:35,080 –> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: with the thirty seventh pick. Now because of the quarterback situation,
386
00:20:38,960 –> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: not necessarily taking a quarterback, because of what happens before
387
00:20:42,040 –> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: the thirty second pick. Now all of a sudden, because
388
00:20:45,200 –> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: of a need. Carolina Panther said at thirty eight they
389
00:20:48,840 –> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: got two fifth rounders. The Lions said at thirty five
390
00:20:52,160 –> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: that would be three slots, and they got two thirds
391
00:20:54,720 –> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: and a fifth. You could move down and get an
392
00:20:58,200 –> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: extra pick later, even if it’s a third, fourth, or fifth.
393
00:21:01,280 –> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: And this quarterback class, even though the Chiefs aren’t interested
394
00:21:04,400 –> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: in the quarterback in this class, particularly since taken to Ano,
395
00:21:07,760 –> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: is the fact it could affect your thirty second pick definitely,
396
00:21:11,640 –> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: not yeah, not even in relationship, but what you actually
397
00:21:14,840 –> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: want to desire. It’s what these other teams desire to
398
00:21:17,960 –> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: do with your pick. And having that thirty second pick,
399
00:21:21,119 –> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: that extra year option that allows you to have an option,
400
00:21:24,160 –> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 1: another option you on your contract. That’s what people love
401
00:21:27,160 –> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: to do with the quarterback position. You love having that
402
00:21:29,200 –> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: extra year to be able to look and evaluate and
403
00:21:32,359 –> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: decide if this guy is a franchise quarterback or not.
404
00:21:36,240 –> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: That’s the one position people love to have that flexibility
405
00:21:39,960 –> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: at is when drafting the quarterback select, you said you
406
00:21:42,600 –> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: have a bunch of teams, possibly eight or nine teams
407
00:21:46,280 –> 00:21:49,120
Speaker 1: this year they would love to change their quarterback position.
408
00:21:49,280 –> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: But when you look at the quarterbacks coming out in
409
00:21:51,560 –> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: the draft, there’s only four that people are considering our
410
00:21:55,119 –> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: top level assets. So when three of them go and
411
00:21:58,680 –> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: you’re a remaining team and that fourth piece, whether it’s
412
00:22:02,560 –> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts or if it’s Love and you’re waiting because
413
00:22:06,960 –> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 1: Herbert’s gone, because two is gone because Burrows gone, and
414
00:22:10,240 –> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: you look around, there’s another four teams that you think
415
00:22:12,680 –> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: are interested in the quarterback position. And now it becomes
416
00:22:15,560 –> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: pick thirty, thirty one or thirty two. How much draft
417
00:22:18,760 –> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: capital are you willing to push to the table in
418
00:22:21,119 –> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: order to get that pick so that you can get
419
00:22:23,080 –> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: yourself a quarterback for the future. I think we’re gonna
420
00:22:26,160 –> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: get a lot of phone calls. I think the Chiefs
421
00:22:29,080 –> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 1: general manager of Veach his phone won’t be ringing off
422
00:22:31,720 –> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: the chart after about pick twenty two or twenty three
423
00:22:35,280 –> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: about what the Chiefs want to do with that thirty
424
00:22:36,960 –> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: second pick, and all of that is positive. That’s so
425
00:22:39,600 –> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: positive because if it gets to the position and you
426
00:22:42,359 –> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: see there’s still five or six guys that we really want.
427
00:22:45,720 –> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: Dropping down three spots, dropping him down eight spots, I
428
00:22:49,560 –> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: think we still get somebody that’s gonna make an impact
429
00:22:52,520 –> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: on this team, and then you’ll receive so much extra capital.
430
00:22:56,080 –> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: It’s in a win win situation. So I love sitting
431
00:22:58,680 –> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: at thirty two with major holes ready for a team
432
00:23:01,800 –> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: that can win right now, go play right now with
433
00:23:03,960 –> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: the guys we already got on the roster, the balls
434
00:23:08,240 –> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: in Beach’s court. Everybody’s gonna be calling his phone, and
435
00:23:11,720 –> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: most of the league again is just rocking back and
436
00:23:13,640 –> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: forth going how do we find Patrick Mahomes? How do
437
00:23:16,200 –> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: we find Patrick Mahomes? Well, we’ve got so that’s the
438
00:23:19,080 –> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: comforting thing. You mentioned the headliners in this discussion, and
439
00:23:22,880 –> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: really the other guy would be Jake from but I
440
00:23:25,760 –> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: think he’s going to be a mid or later round guy.
441
00:23:28,440 –> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: But here’s where the Chief’s Kingdom gets interested in these
442
00:23:30,960 –> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 1: guys that you mentioned as well. There’s a very real
443
00:23:34,040 –> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: chance here Shop that two of these three guys are
444
00:23:37,640 –> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: two of the four guys that you mentioned five. If
445
00:23:40,800 –> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: you’re gonna put love or Eston and there could end
446
00:23:43,600 –> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: up in this in the the AFC West, I look
447
00:23:46,720 –> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: for the Raiders to take a young guy to do
448
00:23:50,119 –> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 1: the Alex Smith Mahomes thing with Derek Carr and then
449
00:23:54,800 –> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: become the guy. We know Chargers. Taylor’s there, Tyrod Taylor’s there,
450
00:23:59,760 –> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: but they’re in the market to try to find a
451
00:24:01,600 –> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: young quarterback. A lot of mock drafts have had two
452
00:24:03,680 –> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: a fall to them at number six. I still think
453
00:24:06,760 –> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: Burrow’s going to go to Cincinnati at one, but I
454
00:24:10,440 –> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: mean that could change. We’re still two weeks away. However,
455
00:24:13,880 –> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: we got to get ready and studying this class because
456
00:24:16,440 –> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: as I look at these guys, as I look at them,
457
00:24:18,600 –> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: I almost look at them as a competitor, not as
458
00:24:21,480 –> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: someone who would be a part of our team or
459
00:24:23,200 –> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: part of the equity discussion that’s later. I see love
460
00:24:25,840 –> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: as equity possibly hurts, but those guys above them to
461
00:24:29,560 –> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: me look like competitors to us. And we talk about
462
00:24:32,400 –> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: the importance of the NFL combine that we have for
463
00:24:35,119 –> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: all these guys coming out, and how important it was
464
00:24:37,640 –> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: to go to these guys pro dates, and that’s something
465
00:24:39,880 –> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 1: that’s missing this year, right, not having them put your
466
00:24:42,480 –> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 1: having your own deepensive staff and your scouts be able
467
00:24:45,440 –> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: to make a fool right up off of these guys
468
00:24:47,480 –> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: on their pro day. But so much work is done
469
00:24:49,880 –> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: in the fall throughout their college season. We know how
470
00:24:52,960 –> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks have, We know their strength and weaknesses, and
471
00:24:55,480 –> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: so if we have to see them during the season
472
00:24:57,760 –> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: in the Chargers uniform, in a Raiders unif Tom, I
473
00:25:01,960 –> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: think we’ll have a full evaluation, we’ll know exactly what
474
00:25:05,520 –> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: they what they what they have, their strengths and weaknesses.
475
00:25:08,160 –> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: And it’s not because we wanted to scout them because
476
00:25:10,280 –> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: we were thinking about drafting them. But like you said,
477
00:25:12,560 –> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: odds are both. There are two more teams in our division.
478
00:25:16,520 –> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: They’re gonna be looking to get young really quick. They’re
479
00:25:19,040 –> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: gonna look for a franchise spark out in LA with
480
00:25:23,080 –> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers, Herbert H two or either one of those
481
00:25:27,840 –> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: guys would be a blessings for that organization. And then
482
00:25:31,400 –> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. UM, don’t don’t think that um Mike Mayock,
483
00:25:35,840 –> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: with his UH scouting background and his NFL h NCAA
484
00:25:41,400 –> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: scouting combat background, wouldn’t die to move up to get
485
00:25:44,960 –> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: one of these quarterbacks. He felt like everybody, let’s slide
486
00:25:47,920 –> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: out of the top couple picks. So I would definitely
487
00:25:50,720 –> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: be on the lookout for the Raiders trying to get
488
00:25:52,520 –> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: back up at the end of the second round to
489
00:25:54,400 –> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: maybe go after Love or Jeling Hurts. Yeah, and the
490
00:25:58,000 –> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: Raiders have acquity because this is the Khalail mac Cash
491
00:26:00,640 –> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, they get the Khalil
492
00:26:03,000 –> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: Mack picks here, and so the Raiders can dictate and
493
00:26:06,640 –> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: be very aggressive in this draft. All right, we’ll close
494
00:26:09,560 –> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: it up here shop in two. Review One, the Chiefs
495
00:26:12,520 –> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: have the goat, and now all of a sudden, I mean,
496
00:26:15,200 –> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: this is gonna be my twenty seventh year in the NFL.
497
00:26:17,960 –> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: You and I have been on the other side of
498
00:26:20,000 –> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: the river because we’ve had to face the goat, figure
499
00:26:22,440 –> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 1: out how to beat the goat, throwing rocks at the giant.
500
00:26:25,920 –> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: We’ve got the giant, right, we have got the guy
501
00:26:29,680 –> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: in the leading the way who’s the best in the league.
502
00:26:31,960 –> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: That’s one. Two the creativity that could be involved in
503
00:26:35,680 –> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: this room, particularly with a guy like Jordan Tahamo. Three
504
00:26:39,200 –> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: building equity at the quarterback position, and four scouting this
505
00:26:42,800 –> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 1: group because a competitor or two. Maybe in this twenty
506
00:26:47,480 –> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: twenty draft class, well you get all the four components,
507
00:26:51,600 –> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: all the four building blocks of being super competitive to
508
00:26:55,200 –> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: being a championship mindset is not resting on your loyals
509
00:26:58,640 –> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: just because a position is doing well because you have
510
00:27:01,040 –> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: the coke or you have the next, the next great
511
00:27:04,480 –> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: thing in that position. You don’t take that as a
512
00:27:07,920 –> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: queue to slow down. You put your your pedal to
513
00:27:10,480 –> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: the metal, hit the accelerator, and you continue to make
514
00:27:13,240 –> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: everybody chase your tail. Everybody wants to chase what we
515
00:27:16,359 –> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: have in pat Mahome. You try to recreate it, most
516
00:27:19,040 –> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: of the times you’re gonna fall in your face. Um,
517
00:27:21,280 –> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: you can’t beat us at what we do great. Our
518
00:27:23,359 –> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: quarterback is great. If you try to put your quarterback
519
00:27:25,880 –> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: against ours on any given day, nine nine out one
520
00:27:29,359 –> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: hundred times our quarterbacks don’t come out victorious. So I
521
00:27:32,560 –> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: welcome that challenge. I welcome team to try to match
522
00:27:35,800 –> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: up the quarterback position against us versus making everything else
523
00:27:39,200 –> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: in there in there and their team a little bit
524
00:27:41,160 –> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 1: better to try to stop us. But with that said, Um,
525
00:27:44,680 –> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 1: the quarterback position is a leadership position. We have we
526
00:27:47,920 –> 00:27:51,880
Speaker 1: have a guy that leads by example. Um, he’s humble. Um,
527
00:27:52,000 –> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: he serves the community. Um, he leads by example when
528
00:27:55,960 –> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: it comes to the workouts in the off season. UM.
529
00:27:59,040 –> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: And he’s and he’s so humble when it comes to
530
00:28:01,960 –> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: I’m not taking anything for granted. You look at his workouts,
531
00:28:05,040 –> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: how he is in the community, all these things he
532
00:28:07,600 –> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: just wants. He’s a football guy, heads Breeds Football one
533
00:28:12,160 –> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: oh one. He’s a great football player and in a
534
00:28:15,040 –> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: great asset to the organization. And like you said, we
535
00:28:17,960 –> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: got I mean you don’t, so stop trying. So I’m
536
00:28:20,240 –> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: looking forward to this two twenty season led by one
537
00:28:24,800 –> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: Pat MVP. Again let’s run it back my homes. But
538
00:28:29,520 –> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: it also means you don’t stop trying to build equity
539
00:28:32,920 –> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 1: in that quarterback room. There’s a lot of value in
540
00:28:36,400 –> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: doing that. He’s Seann Barber, He’s barber Shop, He’s the shop.
541
00:28:39,480 –> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: He’s the spider Man. He is the principal or vice
