00:00:08,320 –> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: And hello everybody, and welcome to this edition of Defending

2
00:00:12,280 –> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: the Kingdom. Mitcholters with you a voice of the chiefs,

3
00:00:15,520 –> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: along with the man that we call the shop, also

4
00:00:19,320 –> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: the barber and barbershop, which is taken on a whole

5
00:00:22,440 –> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: new meaning. Now my friend or the spider. But back

6
00:00:25,720 –> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: to the barber shop. If somebody doesn’t cut my hair soon,

7
00:00:28,720 –> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: I’m gonna look like Will Ferrell and the Jackie Moon

8
00:00:31,280 –> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: in that old Aba movie, or Doctor j when he

9
00:00:34,320 –> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: was playing for the Virginia Squires. Because this is getting

10
00:00:37,320 –> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: out of hand. Shop. Yeah, man, I’m here, you know,

11
00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: bunker down the barber, the barber crew. I got enough

12
00:00:48,080 –> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: heads here to be cutting every day and steel not

13
00:00:51,080 –> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: catch up. I got my hair covered because many moons

14
00:00:54,680 –> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: ago some of the old ramskiing teammates told me when

15
00:00:57,920 –> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: you have to keep it covered, cut owned, and I

16
00:01:00,960 –> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: used to let it dread up and everything. And one

17
00:01:03,240 –> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: time he set me down off of a bet and

18
00:01:05,000 –> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: cut my hair off. And it’s been I’ve been keeping

19
00:01:07,440 –> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: it low profiled ever since. But if you need me too,

20
00:01:10,200 –> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: one time, I’ll come by. And maybe you know when

21
00:01:12,680 –> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: a social distancing over, give you a little round up,

22
00:01:16,480 –> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: you know, get you looking ex fresh and clean like me. Yeah.

23
00:01:19,959 –> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: I tried to spags. That didn’t work, so good that’s gone.

24
00:01:22,319 –> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Now this hair is out of crate, so I may

25
00:01:23,880 –> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: have to just cover it as we get ready for

26
00:01:25,920 –> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: the draft next week. But this is our last look

27
00:01:28,880 –> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: at the position group we’ve taken two months and looking

28
00:01:31,880 –> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: at this Chiefs team coming off the Super Bowl fifty

29
00:01:34,440 –> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: four championship and looking ahead to twenty twenty, considering the

30
00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: protocol we’re in and before we roll into everything shop,

31
00:01:42,520 –> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: You and I, our families both feel the same way.

32
00:01:44,600 –> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: Just prayers up and continue to keep the faith and hope,

33
00:01:48,640 –> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: stay stay at home, follow the protocols and we’ll get

34
00:01:52,440 –> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: this whipped. But we’ve just kind of kind of stay

35
00:01:54,840 –> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: on it so and we’ll keep living by faith. But

36
00:01:57,720 –> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: we’re going to jump into the wide receiver Corps. Now.

37
00:02:00,960 –> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: Every week I’ve warned some attire to represent the group

38
00:02:04,200 –> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: that we’re talking about. Remember how the Tuskegee Airman going on?

39
00:02:07,000 –> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: And well today it’s the old track warm up. And

40
00:02:09,919 –> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: don’t laugh, dog, because this is when I won the

41
00:02:12,160 –> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: four by two in the JV relays running the two

42
00:02:16,160 –> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: leg So to give me some, you know, give me

43
00:02:18,360 –> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: some you know, some love here and some grace, But

44
00:02:21,520 –> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: here’s what happened because this Chiefs team, here’s what’s happened.

45
00:02:24,800 –> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: This Chiefs team is a four by one relay team

46
00:02:27,160 –> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: with an alternate, and the alternate can run in the

47
00:02:29,919 –> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: four by two, and whoever done running the four by

48
00:02:32,000 –> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: two can run in the medley relay and we’re gonna

49
00:02:34,800 –> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: win all three and get thirty points in the track meet.

50
00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: Because here’s what happens. When you put a track team

51
00:02:39,200 –> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Here’s what happens. You get a super

52
00:02:42,360 –> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Bowl championship. Okay, So that’s where we’re at with this

53
00:02:46,360 –> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: wide receiver cord. Because welcome to this podcast Defending the Kingdom,

54
00:02:50,440 –> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: because it is going to center on the legion of

55
00:02:52,800 –> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: Zoom a man speed demons is something is a term

56
00:02:57,760 –> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: and phrase, the leading of Zoom, the leave it legion.

57
00:03:01,040 –> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: Those guys have redefined it. I’ve followed my man jet

58
00:03:05,840 –> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: Nicole Harman on Twitter a little bit. I saw he

59
00:03:08,840 –> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: got into a Twitter battle with one of the track

60
00:03:10,919 –> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: guys back in Georgia about who’s the fastest, about who

61
00:03:14,480 –> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: would beat who, and basically told him it’s a difference

62
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: between track speed and football to be and anybody who’s

63
00:03:20,240 –> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: played the game of football and rand track. No, that’s

64
00:03:22,840 –> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: a completely different um pace of the game. To be

65
00:03:26,160 –> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: able to cut, change director, to be able to exit

66
00:03:31,840 –> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: football player as opposed to run straight line speed. But

67
00:03:35,000 –> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: we do have a core of wide receivers who I

68
00:03:36,920 –> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: think you put a baton in their hand and they

69
00:03:39,200 –> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: could give any college track team or run for their money.

70
00:03:43,440 –> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: That straight line speed is amazing. When when we when

71
00:03:46,600 –> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: we stretch the team vertical, it opens up all kind

72
00:03:49,000 –> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: of underneath things for Kelsey and our running backs. But

73
00:03:54,040 –> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: we did the fastest when you talk about four or

74
00:03:56,760 –> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: five receivers in the league, when you talk about the

75
00:03:58,880 –> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver room the Cancing Chiefs, let’s just talk about

76
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: the results of these guys. Last year alone, thirty plus plays.

77
00:04:06,160 –> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill had nine eight in the regular season and

78
00:04:09,800 –> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: he missed twenty three quarters. Okay, that’s ridiculous. In his career,

79
00:04:13,320 –> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: he’s had nineteen fifty plus plays. Now, let’s go right

80
00:04:17,040 –> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: down the line. Watkins had six thirty plus plays, three

81
00:04:20,120 –> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: in the regular season, three in the playoffs. McCole Hardman

82
00:04:25,120 –> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: had seven thirty plus plays all in the regular season.

83
00:04:28,680 –> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: D Rob had three thirty plus plays all in the

84
00:04:31,200 –> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: regular season and between these guys throw in Pringle now

85
00:04:34,440 –> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: who had over one hundred yards receiving against the Colts.

86
00:04:37,360 –> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: D Rob had one hundred yard big game against Oakland

87
00:04:39,680 –> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: at one seventy two. Watkins had one in the playoffs

88
00:04:42,520 –> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: against Tennessee at one fourteen, the one ninety seven against

89
00:04:46,240 –> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Tyreek Hill missing all that time, still had

90
00:04:49,400 –> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: two in the regular season of one hundred yard receiving

91
00:04:51,520 –> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: games and one hundred and five game in the Super Bowl,

92
00:04:54,200 –> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: including the wasp of forty four yards. I mean, this

93
00:04:57,360 –> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: is just a big play team that terrifies opponents. And

94
00:05:00,760 –> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: every one of these cats can hit you for a

95
00:05:03,240 –> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: home run on every snap. What does that do to

96
00:05:06,839 –> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: a defense playing against them? Man? What it does? It

97
00:05:10,200 –> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: puts you on your heels. It puts you so you’re

98
00:05:12,600 –> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: not confident. Down after down, series after series, you feel

99
00:05:16,640 –> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: like you got control of the game, you feel like offensively,

100
00:05:20,000 –> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: we got them where we want them, and then all

101
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, sixty six out of the gate, it’s

102
00:05:23,360 –> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and before you know what, you give up

103
00:05:25,279 –> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: three big plays and you’re going at halftime and it’s

104
00:05:27,640 –> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty one points on the board and you feel like,

105
00:05:30,080 –> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: except for those three plays, you’ve played twenty snaps of

106
00:05:33,360 –> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: really good the football, but you’re behind the eight ball

107
00:05:37,360 –> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to the scoreboard. So those type of

108
00:05:39,360 –> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: big play capabilities, that big play scoring opportunity that the

109
00:05:43,000 –> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs offense and the wide receivers have been able to

110
00:05:45,040 –> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: take advantage of it loosens the defense up. And even

111
00:05:48,000 –> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: when you’re playing sound defense, when you look up at

112
00:05:50,440 –> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: the scoreboard, it’s totally demoralized. It’s disheartening. You’re going at

113
00:05:54,240 –> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: halftime and you’re starting talking what are we gonna do differently,

114
00:05:56,680 –> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do to change it up? We can’t,

115
00:05:58,480 –> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: we can’t give up another twenty one points. But ninety

116
00:06:01,160 –> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: percent of the snaps have been great defense. It’s it’s

117
00:06:05,120 –> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: it is amazing how to message with your mentality when

118
00:06:07,800 –> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: you give up the big play. And we’ll throw in

119
00:06:10,160 –> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: their six wide receivers right now on the Rustic seven.

120
00:06:12,920 –> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: Because Felton Davis is on there and I’m not counting

121
00:06:15,080 –> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: Jody Forts and he’s listed as a wide receiver. He’s

122
00:06:17,800 –> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: really this kind of wide receiver tight end combo. Go

123
00:06:20,080 –> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: back and look at the Defending Kingdom archive on the

124
00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: tight ends and you’ll get some Jody forts and comments here.

125
00:06:26,480 –> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: And by the way, congratulations to Garret Dieter on this roster.

126
00:06:29,240 –> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: A new baby girl for him and Meg. So yeah,

127
00:06:32,480 –> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: this just happened, man like day before yesterday or yesterday.

128
00:06:35,279 –> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: So fresh news. They’re a new baby girl for the

129
00:06:39,000 –> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: Dieter family. But of the two thousand and six hundred

130
00:06:41,520 –> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: and ninety six regular season receiving yards, two thousand, six

131
00:06:44,560 –> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety return for twenty twenty only the six

132
00:06:47,800 –> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: yards from d Anthony Thomas is all that is not

133
00:06:51,040 –> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: coming back. And for this group again exciting because I

134
00:06:55,360 –> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: think there’s an upside to every one of these guys.

135
00:06:57,200 –> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about Tyreek Hill. First, the Cheetah.

136
00:06:59,760 –> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: We know that he is going to win the one

137
00:07:01,680 –> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: hundred open plus anchor the four by one. Sorry McCole,

138
00:07:05,720 –> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: you can run number one. That’s just where we’re at

139
00:07:07,640 –> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: right now. But Tyreek Hill, in his route running you

140
00:07:11,440 –> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: go back and watch the Wasp. That route is awesome,

141
00:07:15,320 –> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: he reminds me, and he and I have had personal

142
00:07:17,320 –> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: talks about this, and I just love it where he’s

143
00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: going with his mind because he wants to jump to

144
00:07:21,680 –> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: the next level. But you remember Antonio Brown, and his

145
00:07:24,080 –> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: prime was almost uncoverable. Well, now you take his speed

146
00:07:27,720 –> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: and an Antonio Brown or a Marvin Harrison kind of

147
00:07:30,360 –> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: guy and running routes man, he is almost impossible to

148
00:07:34,280 –> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: cover mid range, mid range, deep range because of his

149
00:07:37,280 –> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: route running ability. Yeah, it’s one of those the scenarios

150
00:07:41,640 –> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: that it works so well in Andy Reid’s offense. It

151
00:07:44,640 –> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: works so well when you have a quarterback as accurate

152
00:07:46,760 –> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: as Pat Mahomes, because you can’t you can’t outrun Pat’s

153
00:07:50,080 –> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: arm sometimes with a certain receiver because they’re so fast.

154
00:07:54,320 –> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: If the quarterback doesn’t throw it by the third or

155
00:07:56,840 –> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: fourth step, what a receivers outrun the quarterbacks arm when

156
00:07:59,520 –> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback throw it only fifty or sixty yards. But

157
00:08:02,720 –> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: we can use Cheetah sometimes as a third option on

158
00:08:07,280 –> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: the go route because Pat’s arm is so strong. Usually,

159
00:08:11,520 –> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: when you’re defending a guy with top end speed, if

160
00:08:14,080 –> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback isn’t looking his way beyond ten yards, you

161
00:08:17,920 –> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: pretty much know the quarterback ain’t gonna get to him

162
00:08:19,760 –> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: all he or at least he’s not gonna utilize his

163
00:08:21,560 –> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: top end speed. But with our offense, we can look

164
00:08:24,120 –> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: at Sammy Why we can look at Travis Kelsey, and

165
00:08:27,600 –> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: then we can have Cheetah on the back end of

166
00:08:29,280 –> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: a play, on the backside running a goal route. Pat’s

167
00:08:32,040 –> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: arm is strong enough, as we saw in the preseason

168
00:08:34,200 –> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: game when he threw it about sixty or seventy yards

169
00:08:36,800 –> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: of air distance, that those kind of throws are just

170
00:08:41,200 –> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: they’re uncalled for. There, they’re unbelievable, and when you’re playing defense,

171
00:08:44,760 –> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: you just you can’t believe somebody can’t actually throw the

172
00:08:47,880 –> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: pigs can that long, that far, with so much velocity

173
00:08:50,840 –> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: and accuracy that it surprises you on all three levels.

174
00:08:54,760 –> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: But the cheat has taken pride in his route running here,

175
00:08:57,240 –> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: running routes like he does not have four two speed,

176
00:09:00,280 –> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: And that’s what I love about him, all right now, Watkins,

177
00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: you mentioned him. So the other thing that’s just with

178
00:09:04,280 –> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: the upside of these guys of like I get asked

179
00:09:06,360 –> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: a lot, whether it’s on social media or just on

180
00:09:09,320 –> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: other shows, is what’s the next step for these guys?

181
00:09:11,920 –> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: And for Ty, I’m just saying maybe availability. He missed

182
00:09:15,320 –> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: twenty three quarters last year. I mean, that’s four games

183
00:09:18,400 –> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: the dude missed. And if he’s just if he’s there

184
00:09:20,720 –> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: for sixteen games or how many, we’re gonna play this year.

185
00:09:23,520 –> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean, just imagine the production that goes up just

186
00:09:25,720 –> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: by him being available in those games. Yeah, looking at

187
00:09:29,480 –> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: the social media, you can tell he’s a he’s a muscular,

188
00:09:32,480 –> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: high strung guy, right, He’s he’s put together, like like

189
00:09:35,520 –> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: we said, a pound for pound, one of the strongest

190
00:09:37,920 –> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. But when you add his speed

191
00:09:40,400 –> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: as quickness, is that the media change of direction. They

192
00:09:43,640 –> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: are a route backyard routes that this guy can run

193
00:09:46,120 –> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: that are going to be uncomfortable on so many levels.

194
00:09:48,960 –> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: And then we talk about that playmaking ability, the vertical leap,

195
00:09:52,360 –> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: the hang time when balls are fifty fifty balls. It’s again,

196
00:09:56,760 –> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: we say it over and over again, he’s unguardable one

197
00:09:59,360 –> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: on one. He’s always going to have a safety, help

198
00:10:01,720 –> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: safety over the top, and that’s gonna make our running

199
00:10:04,640 –> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: game even that much more potent, and all the underneath

200
00:10:07,200 –> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: stuff to Kelsey and so we we we always have

201
00:10:10,040 –> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: noticed that the cheetah is so so dynamic, but that

202
00:10:14,080 –> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: just plays a play. It plays apart and continuing the

203
00:10:18,800 –> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 1: evolution of our wide receiver corps because you go from

204
00:10:21,800 –> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: a cheetah with top end speed to a jet with amazing,

205
00:10:25,440 –> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: outstanding boom speed. And now you start talking about Sammy Watkins,

206
00:10:29,640 –> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: his experience, his athleticism, his range, his catch radius. He

207
00:10:35,200 –> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: has amazingly big strong hands and then after the catch,

208
00:10:39,440 –> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: all of these guys usually make the secondary look a

209
00:10:42,480 –> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: little bit embarrassing. But on Shammy’s coming back, as we know,

210
00:10:47,360 –> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: and it got that contract, you know, change to help

211
00:10:50,640 –> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs with the Shalary cap situation. As Shammy had

212
00:10:53,360 –> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: the incredible game against Jacksonville, but in the playoffs. Now

213
00:10:56,520 –> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: in five playoff games with the Chiefs, thirty four targets

214
00:10:59,720 –> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: and only four receptions. You look what he did in

215
00:11:01,720 –> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, three thirty plus plays in the

216
00:11:04,720 –> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: playoffs and the Tennessee game, the sixty yard touchdown, one

217
00:11:07,840 –> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yard catch. We know about beating Richard

218
00:11:10,320 –> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: Sherman in the Super Bowl. But if Sammy Watkins can

219
00:11:13,880 –> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: be if we just get a little bit of Jacksonville

220
00:11:16,520 –> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of the postseason with Sammy Watkins,

221
00:11:19,400 –> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: look out because there’s another level for him. Like you said,

222
00:11:22,800 –> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: availability for the Cheetah and consistency from Sammy Watkins. Those

223
00:11:27,480 –> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: are the two things that if there’s a way for

224
00:11:29,480 –> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: this receivering core to even get better with only six

225
00:11:32,920 –> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: yards not coming back, you say, how can this group

226
00:11:35,320 –> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: get better? Number one? Like you said with the Cheetah, right,

227
00:11:38,920 –> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: it’s being available. And then with Sammy Watkins like you’re saying,

228
00:11:43,120 –> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: it’s just creating a consistent contribution weekend and week out,

229
00:11:48,160 –> 00:11:50,839
Speaker 1: but not making sure we don’t lose playoffs. Sammy, if

230
00:11:50,880 –> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: you give me one or the other, as long as

231
00:11:53,080 –> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: he’s available, come to postseason to give us that playoff,

232
00:11:56,120 –> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: push that experience, and take us over the top. I

233
00:11:59,040 –> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: think that’s the most important part. And that’s exactly why

234
00:12:01,800 –> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: he came to Kansas City to be a playoff a

235
00:12:04,960 –> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: big play guy when it mattered the most, and all

236
00:12:07,760 –> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: the Kingdom people said amen. They also said amen to

237
00:12:11,440 –> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: d rob coming back. DeMarcus Robinson the sneaky guy on

238
00:12:15,040 –> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: this relay team. When you look at his big play potential.

239
00:12:18,600 –> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he had the one seventy two explosion against

240
00:12:21,040 –> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 1: Oakland last year in Week two, but he will come

241
00:12:23,920 –> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: up with the key plays. De rob had a forty

242
00:12:26,920 –> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: four yard or forty three yard or thirty nine yarder,

243
00:12:30,000 –> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: and DeMarcus Robinson two becomes convey the underneath guy. He’s

244
00:12:33,320 –> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: a perfect compliment to the first two guys we’ve talked about. Yeah,

245
00:12:37,480 –> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: de rob is very consistent. If you wire during training camp,

246
00:12:42,120 –> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: I’ve seen anybody inches away from a jugs machine catching

247
00:12:46,080 –> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: the ball with only fingertips. He has such strong hands

248
00:12:50,520 –> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: that makes him such a great possession receiver. And even

249
00:12:52,720 –> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: when he has a couple of drops, I think that’s

250
00:12:54,559 –> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: one of the things that’s so surprised. He beats himself up.

251
00:12:56,520 –> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: He’s such a demanding a competitor about his own capabilities.

252
00:13:01,400 –> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: He was probably the only receiver on our roster that

253
00:13:04,520 –> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: could have made that one handed air joy and catch

254
00:13:06,920 –> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, And in that game, we were fighting back,

255
00:13:10,760 –> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: we were fighting back, and we scored so many points

256
00:13:12,960 –> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: in that second quarter to put that game out of reach. Well,

257
00:13:15,760 –> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: Dee robs one handed air Jordan catch was one of

258
00:13:18,320 –> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: the marquee moments of that game that lands that turnaround.

259
00:13:23,600 –> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: And if there’s a guy I’m really excited about for

260
00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: next year, it’s McCole Hardman because I think the upside

261
00:13:28,880 –> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: for him is enormous. You look at what he did

262
00:13:31,920 –> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: last year though no one hundred yard receiving games, but

263
00:13:34,440 –> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: seven thirty plus catches, and you look at the big

264
00:13:38,120 –> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: plays that he made not just from scrimmage downs, but

265
00:13:40,880 –> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: the kick return against the Chargers turned that game around

266
00:13:43,640 –> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: one hundred for four yards in Week seventeen, and then

267
00:13:46,400 –> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: his fifty eight yard punt return. Guy everything started against

268
00:13:49,480 –> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: on that great comeback against Houston. It was twenty four nothing.

269
00:13:52,520 –> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: I’m sorry when he got a fifty eight yard kickoff return.

270
00:13:54,960 –> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: But then you look at his play against Baltimore we

271
00:13:57,000 –> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: had on the watch party eighty three yards. I mean,

272
00:13:59,480 –> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: you talk of a guy who could go to another

273
00:14:01,240 –> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: level and route running and understanding and follow that same

274
00:14:04,679 –> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: path that’s Tyreek Hill. Look what happens if he follows

275
00:14:07,360 –> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: on that same track with the Cheetah of what the

276
00:14:10,360 –> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: Jet can do next year and the years beyond. I

277
00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: think that one of the plays that stands out to me,

278
00:14:15,600 –> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 1: and referring back to the Cheetahs, when he ran that

279
00:14:18,320 –> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: deep stop against the Patriots and went down the sideline

280
00:14:21,280 –> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: and ran away from everybody. We realized, when a guy

281
00:14:24,280 –> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: has top in that next level speed and they can

282
00:14:27,040 –> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: kick it into a seventh gear and run away from

283
00:14:29,720 –> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: a defense, we can run stop routes that can score

284
00:14:32,920 –> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: as easily as a goal route. So now it adds

285
00:14:35,240 –> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: a whole different demeanor and a whole different philosophy to

286
00:14:38,080 –> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: what you have to guard. You have to guard the

287
00:14:40,160 –> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: deep and you have to guard the stop. And then

288
00:14:42,680 –> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: you bring in McCole McCole Hartman and watch his stopping

289
00:14:46,440 –> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: goal capability, his return ability, his ability to make people

290
00:14:49,800 –> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: missing a small space once he divides that seam of

291
00:14:55,000 –> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: the defense. Like you said, against that Ravens team, when

292
00:14:58,560 –> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: he caught that slant stop and it took off in

293
00:15:01,480 –> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: a vertical path, there was nobody around it could catch

294
00:15:04,440 –> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: up with him. He ran away from a really good

295
00:15:06,760 –> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: Ravens defense. In that kind of capability allows a whole

296
00:15:11,440 –> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: other set of routes to be added to what can score.

297
00:15:16,360 –> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: When you talk about every play has the ability, every

298
00:15:19,640 –> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: play has the ability to be a scorn play when

299
00:15:22,240 –> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: you talk about what the Chiefs are doing on offense. Crazy. Now,

300
00:15:25,920 –> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: another guy I’m excited about is Byron Pringle, who’s the

301
00:15:28,200 –> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: fifth of these guys are right, who have played last

302
00:15:31,440 –> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: year and got the snaps? What did Pringle do? Makes

303
00:15:34,280 –> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the big kickoff coverage play in the Super Bowl. He

304
00:15:36,920 –> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: also has the hundred yard receiving game against the Colts,

305
00:15:39,480 –> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: and he saves the day against Detroit that might be

306
00:15:42,240 –> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: going to overtime. He makes an incredible catch with a

307
00:15:45,240 –> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: tight window, getting a bullet from Mahomes and takes a

308
00:15:47,840 –> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: shot from the Detroit defensive back and moves forward told

309
00:15:51,360 –> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: the goal, not backwards. Pringle’s got a chance to jump

310
00:15:54,800 –> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: up as well as Hardman like two notches on this team. Man,

311
00:15:58,480 –> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: when you have a fifth guy with that type of

312
00:16:01,120 –> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: tenacity and that type of grit and that type of

313
00:16:03,680 –> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: hunger to get on the field, it can do nothing

314
00:16:06,080 –> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: but push the guys ahead of him to be even better.

315
00:16:09,160 –> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: And so when you talk about what is the enemy

316
00:16:11,440 –> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: of being a good core is the fear of being great,

317
00:16:14,320 –> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: And what’s the enemy of being a great core is

318
00:16:16,640 –> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: the fear of being elite. And we’re talking about not

319
00:16:19,160 –> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: on the individual basis, as a unit, and you’re only

320
00:16:22,400 –> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: as strong as the weakest link. And nobody in that

321
00:16:24,760 –> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: room wanted to be considered a weak link. And so

322
00:16:26,880 –> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: he’s working as hard is the top four guys. He’s

323
00:16:29,880 –> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: not taking a back seat to anybody. You give him

324
00:16:32,640 –> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: a snap on the field, and Byron Pringle will make big,

325
00:16:36,120 –> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: big returns on your debit ends. All right, that’s a

326
00:16:39,440 –> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: long first quarter of this edition of Defending the Kingdom.

327
00:16:42,040 –> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: Looking at the fast wide receiver corps in the NFL,

328
00:16:44,840 –> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: winning the four by one, the four by two, and

329
00:16:47,240 –> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: the Medley relay to get thirty points in the AFC

330
00:16:50,160 –> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: West Track. Mate, Now we’re going to go on the

331
00:16:52,400 –> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: second quarter. Is what I think Andy Reid requires in

332
00:16:56,280 –> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: these guys and any receiver that plays for him. And

333
00:16:58,640 –> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: I’m gonna take these a couple out of time. The

334
00:17:00,840 –> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: first one or two at a time. Here every route

335
00:17:03,880 –> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: can be your route. The second one is understand the

336
00:17:06,680 –> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: big picture. Andy Reid is brilliant. When I get a

337
00:17:09,160 –> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: chance to talk to him about the geometry of the game,

338
00:17:11,600 –> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: how he creates triangles and angles to get guys open.

339
00:17:15,520 –> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: I’m like, I mean, who am I talking? This is

340
00:17:17,880 –> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: Dukes Einstein. But to get guys to understand the angles

341
00:17:21,640 –> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: of the field, the geometry of the field, and then

342
00:17:24,760 –> 00:17:29,439
Speaker 1: also understand in this offense with this quarterback, every route

343
00:17:29,480 –> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: is your route. Now some might think, well, that’s just basic. No,

344
00:17:32,440 –> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: it’s not. If I call a three I got a

345
00:17:34,800 –> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: three number route, I got a two forty three route.

346
00:17:37,240 –> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: Y under then that means hey, you’re running the two route.

347
00:17:40,760 –> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: You’re the second guy. You’re running the four route, you’re

348
00:17:42,480 –> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: the primary guy on that, not with this. So it’s

349
00:17:44,920 –> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 1: these receivers. Every routes’s you’re route and understand the geometry

350
00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: of Andy Reid’s offense. Yeah, every receiver understands. Even if

351
00:17:52,640 –> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: the initial play the first three steps, the first, second,

352
00:17:55,280 –> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: and third read are not available, they have a quarterback

353
00:17:58,560 –> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: who can create extra time, and not only create extra time,

354
00:18:02,040 –> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: but has an arm big enough to it’s an unlimited

355
00:18:05,119 –> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: target the area. When we talk about defenses trying to

356
00:18:08,280 –> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: be top down, most defenses shrink as the play go

357
00:18:11,640 –> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: on and on. As I say, they call it a

358
00:18:13,960 –> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: glue technique. When the quarterback starts to scramble, you find

359
00:18:17,240 –> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: somebody in your area and you start to stick towards them.

360
00:18:19,920 –> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: You want to glue toward them. Well, when you don’t

361
00:18:22,880 –> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: have as down field thirty and forty yards, or you

362
00:18:27,200 –> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: don’t have the arm strength to throw at sixty yards,

363
00:18:30,680 –> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: it creates a certain boundary that the defense no longer

364
00:18:34,080 –> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: has to guard and so they can start coming up,

365
00:18:37,240 –> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: start to shrink the field. When you talk about vertical seams,

366
00:18:41,200 –> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: they shrink the field and started to make it tougher

367
00:18:43,760 –> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: and tougher for you to throw the ball. My Home’s

368
00:18:46,320 –> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: deep ball is always active. He always has the green light,

369
00:18:50,040 –> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: and so it keeps those deep safeties deep and that

370
00:18:53,280 –> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: creates those vertical angles and scenes. But other routes to

371
00:18:55,800 –> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: start to uncover even when they’re not playing to So

372
00:18:59,440 –> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: you stay, You run the routes. You understand the angles,

373
00:19:03,119 –> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: and you also understand who’s guarding you in those angles.

374
00:19:06,119 –> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: Late in the dawn, you realize if there’s a linebacker

375
00:19:09,040 –> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: trying to glue towards a wide receiver a slot receiver.

376
00:19:11,800 –> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: But that’s a win for us. And if we give

377
00:19:14,000 –> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: it Pat enough time to find that bitch man, I’m advantaged.

378
00:19:19,840 –> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 1: Chief the only way you make him pay, but he

379
00:19:22,000 –> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: has the accuracy to make it not just the first down,

380
00:19:24,600 –> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: but sometimes a touchdown. All right, the next two characteristics.

381
00:19:28,040 –> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: If you’re gonna play wide receiver for Andy Reid in

382
00:19:30,560 –> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: this offense, there’s one playing with mahomes that you’re catching

383
00:19:33,760 –> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: Max Scherzer, okay, because the arm angles are coming from

384
00:19:36,680 –> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: all over the place. Or the next pitch might be

385
00:19:38,920 –> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: a Raldish Chapman because it might be coming at one

386
00:19:41,160 –> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: hundred and five miles an hour. You got to play

387
00:19:43,400 –> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 1: with the goat. You’re drinking goat milk every day because

388
00:19:46,119 –> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: you’re with the goat every day. The second part of

389
00:19:49,240 –> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: get your thought on it is in Andy Reid’s offense,

390
00:19:51,840 –> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: and I’ve had a lot of talks with him about this.

391
00:19:54,040 –> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: You’ve got to know all three positions. Well, I’m an X, oh,

392
00:19:57,680 –> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: I’ll know, I’m a z H, I’m a slot or

393
00:20:00,320 –> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: I’m a you know F No, you’re all of that. Okay,

394
00:20:03,440 –> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: You’ve got to understand every position. And that’s why having

395
00:20:06,240 –> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: these guys and the continuity where they understand this offense

396
00:20:09,600 –> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: where Sammy can play an X or is he any

397
00:20:11,840 –> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: one of these guys can play any of the positions.

398
00:20:14,320 –> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: What about having because I’m to look at these young

399
00:20:16,160 –> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: guys now we’re gonna transition after halftime to look at

400
00:20:18,920 –> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: these young guys in this draft. Well, in this offense,

401
00:20:22,280 –> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: you got to play with mahomes. That means something crazy,

402
00:20:25,119 –> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: it’s gonna happen or good, but you’re better have your

403
00:20:27,720 –> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: catcher’s met out. And then two, knowing that you’ve got

404
00:20:30,920 –> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: to can play all three positions or four, yeah, and

405
00:20:34,720 –> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: playing awful positions. It’s not only knowing what to do

406
00:20:37,920 –> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: when you line up at X or at wow a Z,

407
00:20:40,840 –> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: but also understanding on a certain route how that route

408
00:20:45,240 –> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: uncovers laid in the downs, because if you don’t know

409
00:20:48,560 –> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: how the X and the Y or the X and Z,

410
00:20:50,960 –> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: or if you don’t know what they’re doing on a route,

411
00:20:53,400 –> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: then you don’t know where you’re opening is going to

412
00:20:55,480 –> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: be as the Z, and so you have to you

413
00:20:57,800 –> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: have to know what everybody is running, and then you

414
00:21:00,880 –> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 1: also have to know how that individual receiver, whether it’s mcole, Hardman,

415
00:21:04,680 –> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: whether Sammy Watkins or Cheetah, what is their tendency when

416
00:21:08,840 –> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: a play breaks down? Do they break vertical? Do they

417
00:21:11,640 –> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: break to a sideline? Do they stop in the hole

418
00:21:14,359 –> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: that allow for you to break fifteen yards behind and

419
00:21:17,600 –> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: that whole stop, Or if you know that McCole is

420
00:21:20,760 –> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: going to the sideline, then you break deep off of him.

421
00:21:22,880 –> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: Or if you know Cheetah’s gonna go out and up,

422
00:21:24,600 –> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: then you run across the field and stop. All of

423
00:21:27,280 –> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: those things work in complimentary of one another to create

424
00:21:32,840 –> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: such a dynamic that I think there’s some defensive coordinators

425
00:21:36,720 –> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: who would rather us throw the ball get it out

426
00:21:39,520 –> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: our hands than ever attack and pressure mahomes because they’re

427
00:21:44,040 –> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: so scared of what the entire receiver corps does to

428
00:21:48,400 –> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: them once a play does break down, so they try

429
00:21:51,280 –> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: to play super soft, make us stow the ball in

430
00:21:54,480 –> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: front of them. Then they have a chance to swarm attack,

431
00:21:57,400 –> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: try to strip the ball out because if you try

432
00:21:59,440 –> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: to get pressure my homes he gets out of that

433
00:22:01,200 –> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: pocket and extends the play. Man bombing Betty. Those deep

434
00:22:05,320 –> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: threats come open and we know it’s doesn’t matter down

435
00:22:08,840 –> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: a distance, doesn’t matter position on the field. The final

436
00:22:11,960 –> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: two and maybe my most favorite non Chiefs duo receiving

437
00:22:16,320 –> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: would have been Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne of the

438
00:22:18,600 –> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: Colts in the Colts Hey Day with Peyton Manning like

439
00:22:21,359 –> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: late two thousands. Because this next category gets me. But

440
00:22:26,600 –> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: these these five guys we talked about fitted playing in

441
00:22:29,800 –> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: the two minute, playing in the red zone, and unselfishness.

442
00:22:33,520 –> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: Think about it. There were four of these five that

443
00:22:35,400 –> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: had one hundred yard receiving games all right. One ninety

444
00:22:38,760 –> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: seven for Sammy, one seventy two for d Rob, one

445
00:22:41,840 –> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: forty in the Minnesota game for Tyreek Hill, one h

446
00:22:44,640 –> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 1: three in the Colt game. Four Pringle and Hardman didn’t

447
00:22:48,440 –> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 1: have one, but he had all these great catches in

448
00:22:50,240 –> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: eighty three ardor you got to be unselfish. All right,

449
00:22:53,520 –> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: you aren’t gonna win the fantasy league. Maybe if that’s okay,

450
00:22:55,800 –> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: you’re gonna win the reality league and have confetti on

451
00:22:58,119 –> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: your head. And two, you’ve got to understand how do

452
00:23:01,480 –> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: I play in the two minute and how do I

453
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: play in the rug zone? Because I can’t set and

454
00:23:04,760 –> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: stop and go what are we gonna do? Sometimes that

455
00:23:07,440 –> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 1: is shirts and skins. Man, you gotta know how the

456
00:23:11,600 –> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: game situation. It forces you to evolve as a player.

457
00:23:15,119 –> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: You have to know how to handle game situation, big moments.

458
00:23:18,880 –> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: If you’re gonna be on a on a on a

459
00:23:21,080 –> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: roster with a quarterback like my Homes, with a with

460
00:23:25,119 –> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: the with the head coach like coach Read, you know

461
00:23:27,760 –> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: you’re gonna be in some of the biggest game. You’re

462
00:23:29,600 –> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: gonna be in prime primetime games. You’re gonna be I

463
00:23:33,560 –> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: mean the biggest lights um not only the playoff from

464
00:23:36,160 –> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: post season, but the Super Bowl. It’s how you arise

465
00:23:39,560 –> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: and how do you rise up in those moments They’re

466
00:23:42,000 –> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna signify your career. So you talk about how do

467
00:23:44,840 –> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: we get a d rob, a guy that everybody thought

468
00:23:46,720 –> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 1: in free agency was gonna hit the market in man

469
00:23:48,920 –> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: ten million a year for some team. How do we

470
00:23:51,359 –> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: get that kid to come back and except to be

471
00:23:53,960 –> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: a role player in this offense. He loves winning, he

472
00:23:56,840 –> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: loves the environment of competing for a championship. And you

473
00:23:59,760 –> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: know that that is something that’s going to be a

474
00:24:01,680 –> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: part of this team’s present day future in two twenty

475
00:24:07,480 –> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: and beyond. And so you gotta value that. You gotta

476
00:24:12,080 –> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 1: value success. I mean when you talk about being self

477
00:24:14,880 –> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: less versus selfish. Everybody wants targets. Everybody wants the ball

478
00:24:19,840 –> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: thrown to them. But I never wanted targets to the

479
00:24:23,960 –> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: ball thrown at me. I wanted to throw them to me.

480
00:24:26,320 –> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: I want a quarterback that, when I’m running full speed,

481
00:24:29,119 –> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: can actually hit me in a shoebox window so I

482
00:24:32,400 –> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: can continue to play instead of me running a stop

483
00:24:35,400 –> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: route and then thrown in three yards and making me

484
00:24:38,880 –> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: leading me into a big hit or leading me out

485
00:24:40,880 –> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: of bounds after I run a great route. The accuracy

486
00:24:43,280 –> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: you have with Pat Mahomes, it allows our receivers to

487
00:24:46,480 –> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: have such confidence running your routes. They’re not worried about

488
00:24:49,200 –> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: getting big being blown up after a big a big catch.

489
00:24:53,000 –> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 1: They’re not worrying about him throwing the ball to a

490
00:24:55,520 –> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: three yard beyond their catch radius. The ball is so

491
00:25:00,320 –> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: many times not even cent of times within their frame

492
00:25:02,640 –> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: of catching that they can just catch it. Turn up

493
00:25:05,520 –> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: belk to run get yacks yards have to catch. That

494
00:25:09,480 –> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: is the offense that you signed up to be a

495
00:25:10,880 –> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: part of when you come in and be part of

496
00:25:12,040 –> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: the wide receiver corps in Kansas City. I also got

497
00:25:15,840 –> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: to play in the red zone. I gotta win in

498
00:25:17,320 –> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: the red zone because if I run a four two

499
00:25:19,000 –> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: that fields now only thirty yards twenty on end, so

500
00:25:22,240 –> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 1: that lext ten yards. I’m gonna be up in the stands.

501
00:25:24,359 –> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 1: I can run real fast, but I’m gonna be setting

502
00:25:26,200 –> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: with weird Wolf or the Lake Law to want a

503
00:25:28,400 –> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 1: Lake Rats or fake Andy Reid. I gotta win now

504
00:25:31,200 –> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: and talk about a tight window. I’m playing arena football

505
00:25:33,840 –> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: now and so my speed gets neutralized. I still gotta

506
00:25:36,600 –> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: win those battles in the red zone with this quarterback. Yeah,

507
00:25:39,760 –> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: the defense the only chance is to keep you from

508
00:25:42,680 –> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: getting vertical. They have to reroute mirror. We’ve talked about that,

509
00:25:45,800 –> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, and the other podcasts we talked about what

510
00:25:48,080 –> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: makes a dB good is having great feet, being able

511
00:25:50,600 –> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: to mirror, being able to reroute and adjust routes through

512
00:25:53,400 –> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 1: off the timing. Well. In order to be a great receiver,

513
00:25:56,480 –> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: you have to prevent that from happening. You have to

514
00:25:58,320 –> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: be able to win now. And they’re certain matchups on

515
00:26:00,880 –> 00:26:03,959
Speaker 1: the field where Mahomes and the receiver they know that

516
00:26:03,960 –> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: ball is coming in the first second of the down.

517
00:26:06,760 –> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 1: If that guy can create any any window of space

518
00:26:10,000 –> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: for Pat to throw that ball in there, it’s coming.

519
00:26:12,680 –> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: And so you have to be ready and you have

520
00:26:13,960 –> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 1: to be ready to win and finish the play in

521
00:26:17,920 –> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: a positive way. Okay, long first quarter, long first half,

522
00:26:23,800 –> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: but here’s halftime. You know it is. It’s a virtual

523
00:26:25,920 –> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: twelve minutes of a real NFL game in one second.

524
00:26:28,960 –> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: So do your business virtually. They’re good. Now we’re in

525
00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: the third quarter because now we’re gonna jump into this draft,

526
00:26:35,280 –> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: and this draft gets crazy with wide receivers. There are

527
00:26:38,400 –> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: a lot of Mempack players and I’m part of my

528
00:26:42,400 –> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: draft analysis next week is the first fifteen rounds is

529
00:26:45,080 –> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: who the Chiefs will probably play against because the three

530
00:26:48,720 –> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 1: division opponents are going to get some of these guys

531
00:26:51,680 –> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: and they’re good, and they’re fast, and they kind of

532
00:26:54,480 –> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 1: fit some of the profile of the guys we’ve talked

533
00:26:56,400 –> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: about that are currently on our team, but I’m gonna

534
00:26:58,720 –> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: take the first four and just throw him out there.

535
00:27:00,600 –> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb of Oklahoma. We saw him in Big twelve Country,

536
00:27:03,720 –> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: uber competitive dude. Jerry Judy of Alabama, a great route runner,

537
00:27:08,520 –> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: twenty four touchdowns in his last twenty eight games, a

538
00:27:10,680 –> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: lot of productivity. Harry Ruggs of Alabama reminds me of

539
00:27:14,240 –> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: the Jet He’s get some Mcole Hardman him at four

540
00:27:16,800 –> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: two seven. And then Justin Jefferson of LSU, who had

541
00:27:19,920 –> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: big productions on that crazy good team. Maybe not elite speed,

542
00:27:23,800 –> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: but he’s four four three and good runs, good routes.

543
00:27:26,640 –> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: All four of these guys will start. There could be

544
00:27:28,840 –> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: a potential that three of these guys could be in

545
00:27:31,440 –> 00:27:34,360
Speaker 1: our division as soon as next year. Yeah, I think

546
00:27:34,440 –> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: there’s going to be an early run on wide receiver,

547
00:27:37,400 –> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: and I stay early before the twentieth peak on wide

548
00:27:42,320 –> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: receiver number seven. And that’s amazing. In such a deep

549
00:27:44,960 –> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: draft at so many positions, you think the seven maybe

550
00:27:47,119 –> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: eight receivers are all going to go in the first round,

551
00:27:49,720 –> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: but everybody wants those those skill players. Everybody thinks that

552
00:27:53,800 –> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: it’s time to win on one piece away. They’re won

553
00:27:57,440 –> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, they won with Coole Hardman, away from having

554
00:28:00,440 –> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: a potent offense. And the thing that most of these

555
00:28:02,560 –> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: teams really don’t realize when it comes down to it,

556
00:28:05,000 –> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: the secret in the sauce. Here in Kansas City. It’s

557
00:28:08,520 –> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: not just Mcoe Harman. It ain’t just Cheetah, it’s not Zeus,

558
00:28:12,320 –> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: it’s not the running game, it’s not our offensive. It’s

559
00:28:14,760 –> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: a combination of all those ingredients and how they compliment

560
00:28:18,040 –> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: one another, and the chefs behind all that is coach

561
00:28:21,160 –> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. And so if you don’t have all those

562
00:28:22,960 –> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: pieces in place, and you don’t have a gem like

563
00:28:25,640 –> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: Beach pulling the street, all those parts on the field together,

564
00:28:30,480 –> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: then who cares if you go out and get just

565
00:28:33,320 –> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: this one piece, this one added addition to your offense

566
00:28:37,119 –> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: that was in the bottom half of the league last year.

567
00:28:40,160 –> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: These guys have some great skill sets, but of the

568
00:28:44,280 –> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: top four receivers after the third or fourth year, deemed

569
00:28:51,120 –> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: as an elite receiver. And that’s because he has to

570
00:28:53,360 –> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: be paired up with an elite quarterback, oil elite a

571
00:28:58,800 –> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: play call half. Here in Kansas City, Yeah, we’ve seen

572
00:29:02,120 –> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: that happen time and time again throughout the league. Then

573
00:29:05,120 –> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: there’s a next group of guys, and this next group

574
00:29:07,520 –> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: of guys, to me, could help dictate the Chiefs pick

575
00:29:10,280 –> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: if they don’t pick a wide receiver at thirty two.

576
00:29:12,280 –> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: In that a guy like Levisca Chenault of Colorado who’s

577
00:29:16,800 –> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: kind of jumping up the board. Te Higgins, a Clemson’s

578
00:29:19,160 –> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: well known Iuk of Arizona State just had core surgery.

579
00:29:23,120 –> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: But here’s my point and how it deals with the Chiefs.

580
00:29:26,560 –> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: If teams start to feel like they can get those

581
00:29:28,800 –> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: guys or possibly get one at thirty two with the Chiefs,

582
00:29:32,240 –> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: or even a three way trade where it gets real tricky.

583
00:29:34,880 –> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: This could affect the Chiefs and the fact that if

584
00:29:37,160 –> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: someone’s coveted there, someone may move into the chiefs position

585
00:29:40,840 –> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 1: or do a three way work deal where the Chiefs

586
00:29:43,320 –> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: could trade down, perhaps maybe trade up, but maybe trade

587
00:29:46,240 –> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: down to get extra picks. Because of what happens before

588
00:29:49,520 –> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs pick, and especially in those ten to twelve

589
00:29:52,560 –> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: picks right before the Chiefs yeah, I’ll see. I mean,

590
00:29:57,360 –> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: it’s really only two scenarios that happen for the Chiefs.

591
00:30:00,040 –> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: Either there’s a great offensive lineman or a great deepen

592
00:30:05,880 –> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: lineman or cornerback that falls in our lap at thirty two,

593
00:30:09,440 –> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: who we thought was a top end. The value on

594
00:30:11,960 –> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: that player so ridiculous you just have to take them,

595
00:30:14,840 –> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: or the draft kind of plays out and thirty of

596
00:30:18,640 –> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: the top thirty guys go, and there are teams calling

597
00:30:21,840 –> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: our phone, calling up the chiefs, hey man, we got

598
00:30:23,920 –> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: a guy retargeted. We gotta get them. And Bret Beach

599
00:30:27,800 –> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: is sitting there with eight different guys he would like,

600
00:30:30,280 –> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: and it doesn’t matter. They all had great value, whether

601
00:30:32,200 –> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: it’s a ride receiver, cornerback, offensive tack whoever it is.

602
00:30:35,280 –> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: He has eight of them he wouldn’t mind having, and

603
00:30:37,080 –> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: he trades down five or six spots and gains two picks.

604
00:30:40,720 –> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: If we can continue to do that, the middle of

605
00:30:45,040 –> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: our roster can be so has so much depth and

606
00:30:48,880 –> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: so much playability when it comes to affecting the special

607
00:30:51,880 –> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: teams and other in depth to prevent injuries, because we

608
00:30:56,240 –> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: saw that was the one thing that amazingly we was

609
00:30:58,480 –> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: able to rebound after miss one hundred plus quarters from

610
00:31:01,920 –> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: our starters. We had depth to be able to to

611
00:31:05,440 –> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: to to stem the tide and consistently play a top

612
00:31:10,360 –> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: level football even without some starters. What this allows us

613
00:31:13,800 –> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: to do because we have no points of need, we

614
00:31:17,040 –> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: have no holes to feel, we can just sit and

615
00:31:19,920 –> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: wait and let the draft really fall into your lap

616
00:31:23,320 –> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: and you can walk away after three days of drafting

617
00:31:27,480 –> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: high character, valuable pieces, Guys that can compete on the

618
00:31:30,920 –> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: special teams, add value to the depth to the old line,

619
00:31:34,400 –> 00:31:37,959
Speaker 1: be a third or fourth corner or nickel, and so

620
00:31:38,040 –> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: many different ways this can turn out, but it always

621
00:31:40,720 –> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: turns out in our favor because we don’t have any

622
00:31:43,600 –> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: pressing needs. That’s the beautiful thing about being having a

623
00:31:48,640 –> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: ride receiver corps coming out that are I mean, I’m

624
00:31:52,920 –> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: going to almost fifteen deep before I get to the

625
00:31:55,800 –> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: guy at Notre Dame that I love, Claypool. And the

626
00:31:58,400 –> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: thing about getting him in day three, day four, I

627
00:32:00,680 –> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: mean to get him in the third or fourth round.

628
00:32:02,760 –> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he’s he’s he’s the guy to get on

629
00:32:05,320 –> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: the field right now and be a red zone beast.

630
00:32:09,280 –> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: And you think about adding that just three four snaps

631
00:32:13,640 –> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: a game to an already elite offense, just another different

632
00:32:17,800 –> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle. They can make this offense for

633
00:32:20,840 –> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: being great to elite. And there’s other guys too. Denzel

634
00:32:24,360 –> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: members of Baylor, Jalen Reagor of TCU. Two big twelve

635
00:32:27,280 –> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: guys that we saw in our area. kJ Hamdler Penn State,

636
00:32:30,120 –> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: Pittman and USC His dad played in the NFL. You

637
00:32:32,200 –> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 1: already mentioned Claypool, There’s Davis of Central Florida. Edwards is

638
00:32:37,040 –> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, there’s’s a bunch of the South Carolina kid

639
00:32:38,880 –> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: is interesting Byon Edwards too. But here’s and looking at

640
00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: those guys and am I going to say any one

641
00:32:43,080 –> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: specific guy, but a lot of these college systems, these

642
00:32:46,200 –> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 1: guys are running two routes. It’s almost like they’re running

643
00:32:49,040 –> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: a nine and then maybe a post. But it’s not.

644
00:32:52,120 –> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: I don’t see tons of crossing patterns or choice routes

645
00:32:55,080 –> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: because a lot of them are spreads. And I’m just

646
00:32:56,760 –> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna throw it up there and you go get it.

647
00:32:59,040 –> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 1: That’s what I’m saying. If you’ve got to look at

648
00:33:01,000 –> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: these guys and try to see what because we just

649
00:33:02,680 –> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: went through on the second quarter, what Andy Reid wants

650
00:33:04,840 –> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: in a receiver, and that means multiplicity of things and

651
00:33:08,040 –> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: learn how to run every route tree. That means running routes,

652
00:33:10,360 –> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: getting open, how to understand angles, and a lot of

653
00:33:13,480 –> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: these guys were good college players, but depending on the

654
00:33:16,760 –> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: pro system they go to, it could be a deeper

655
00:33:19,480 –> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: learning curve than maybe people think. And that’s why you

656
00:33:23,320 –> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: see the hidden jewel and Aman juniors because you know

657
00:33:29,600 –> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: he comes from a football family. You know his dad

658
00:33:31,440 –> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: has been talking to him up and down the board

659
00:33:33,120 –> 00:33:35,479
Speaker 1: because he was such a great receiving threat for Arizona

660
00:33:35,520 –> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: Cardins all those years. He knows the scout, he knows

661
00:33:38,520 –> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: the passing tree, he knows complimentary routes, he knows how

662
00:33:42,000 –> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: to finish through the whistle. He knows how important it

663
00:33:46,120 –> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 1: is to line up and be one hundred percent on

664
00:33:48,880 –> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: all your checks, hot routes, hot reads, all those things

665
00:33:51,440 –> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: that some guys in college struggle with because they haven’t

666
00:33:54,240 –> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: had to do it. You know he will come into

667
00:33:55,840 –> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: the league and be a special team’s beast when it

668
00:33:59,720 –> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: talks about being a gunner or being a cover guy.

669
00:34:03,240 –> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: So his value though, you know in the rankings he’s

670
00:34:05,200 –> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: might be ranked nine to ten, when it comes to

671
00:34:07,840 –> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: coming in and starting right away and getting the guy

672
00:34:09,680 –> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: who you can actually expect something big out of his football,

673
00:34:14,280 –> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: Acque was probably off the chart when you talk about

674
00:34:16,760 –> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: the wide receiver group, and so the fourth quarter of

675
00:34:19,719 –> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: this discussion, and we’ll make it quicker. Really, the two

676
00:34:21,960 –> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: minute warning is the fact that one thing I really

677
00:34:24,840 –> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: like about Andy Reid, Brett Beach, the entire infrastructure of

678
00:34:28,480 –> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: the Chief’s football side is that they will never look

679
00:34:31,280 –> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: at just one single year. It was interesting Brett Beach

680
00:34:34,239 –> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: earlier today in his new conference, and he and I

681
00:34:35,960 –> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 1: have talked about this in private conversations too, is he’s

682
00:34:39,800 –> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: looking at twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two,

683
00:34:42,520 –> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: twenty three because you got the goat, right, The goats

684
00:34:44,680 –> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna be around a while. So in this draft, people

685
00:34:49,000 –> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: kind of have a tendency to put like blinders on

686
00:34:51,520 –> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 1: it and think just to the twenty twenty draft. Now

687
00:34:54,800 –> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: I use wide receiver in this discussion because why would

688
00:34:57,800 –> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: you take a wide receiver? We just talked to him.

689
00:34:59,480 –> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: They got the best crew in the NFL. They’re all young,

690
00:35:01,680 –> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: these guys, they’re sitting Larry Fitzgerald at the end of

691
00:35:04,080 –> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: his career. These guys are all hitting their prime. Why

692
00:35:06,520 –> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: would you take another one? Because you’re looking at a

693
00:35:09,640 –> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: pace Maybe a croc pod guy who twenty one, twenty two,

694
00:35:12,840 –> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: twenty three b comes on next, Sammy Watkins or somebody

695
00:35:16,680 –> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: like that. So I love this franchise and the way

696
00:35:20,080 –> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: Brett Beach does business and his whole crew, and Andy

697
00:35:22,520 –> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 1: thinks this way too, is it’s not just about now,

698
00:35:25,360 –> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: It’s also about the future, especially with Mahomes at quarterback.

699
00:35:30,760 –> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: And that’s what every great franchise is going to do.

700
00:35:33,239 –> 00:35:35,240
Speaker 1: That that is the one thing to common thread between

701
00:35:35,960 –> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: just winning one year and being a one and done

702
00:35:38,239 –> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: type organization and being having a legacy, having a destiny,

703
00:35:43,280 –> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: having a dynasty, let’s say over a ten year span,

704
00:35:47,480 –> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: is you have to be thinking three and four years

705
00:35:50,320 –> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: down the line. You have to be drafting young depth

706
00:35:52,800 –> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: because you know, as players enter their contractor years, they

707
00:35:55,400 –> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 1: get into their fifth year, to get into their sixth year,

708
00:35:57,680 –> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: the dollars, the way the campus structure, they’re gonna be

709
00:36:01,080 –> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: demanding some bigger contracts. And you can’t pay a quarterback

710
00:36:04,600 –> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: forty million and you’re both tackles fifteen million, and you’re

711
00:36:08,680 –> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: running back and you’re tight end fifty. There’s not enough

712
00:36:11,560 –> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: fifteen million contracts to go around to stay competitive. So

713
00:36:15,600 –> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: you have to get some some top level talent on

714
00:36:19,360 –> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: young deals, on rookie deals, and your rookie contracts and

715
00:36:22,640 –> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: so The one thing that we know about coach Andy

716
00:36:25,200 –> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: Reid is he’s always sent guys other organizations with a blessing. Hey, man,

717
00:36:30,520 –> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: come here and play hard as you can. If you

718
00:36:33,360 –> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 1: ball out for our team and other teams want you

719
00:36:36,760 –> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: and they want to give you top dollar to play

720
00:36:39,440 –> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: beyond what we can really afford to pay you, We’re

721
00:36:42,280 –> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: not gonna hate on that. We’re gonna bless you. We’re

722
00:36:44,120 –> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: gonna send you among your way. We’re gonna cheer for

723
00:36:46,080 –> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 1: you when you’re not playing us. But we always got

724
00:36:49,160 –> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: to be, like you say, we always got to be

725
00:36:50,640 –> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: investing some some ingredients and some some pieces into that

726
00:36:53,080 –> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: crop pot looking for that next breakout player. And you

727
00:36:57,680 –> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: miss that if you’re only thinking about now and you’re

728
00:37:00,880 –> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 1: not drafting for value and you’re not drafting for the future.

729
00:37:03,640 –> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: Red Beach does an awesome job his entire staff, but

730
00:37:07,080 –> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: preparing that board and sticking to that board and making

731
00:37:10,920 –> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: sure they keep this organization running as a as a

732
00:37:14,280 –> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: champ won the championship level. All right, we’ll close it out,

733
00:37:17,680 –> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: but I appreciate your backdrop there. The O’shan Barber. Unleash it.

734
00:37:23,600 –> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: That’s what they need to draft, That’s what they need

735
00:37:25,480 –> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: to draft with the last pick, seventh round pick. Come on,

736
00:37:28,800 –> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: get you to get that Sean Barbecue out of univers

737
00:37:32,320 –> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: Dear Richmond, Let’s go Spiders. Yeah, and since we don’t

738
00:37:35,760 –> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: have a seventh round pick, that’s a probably a pretty

739
00:37:37,680 –> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: good idea. We’ll just keep it that way. And the

740
00:37:40,440 –> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: other thing I would say is fifty nine. That’s a

741
00:37:43,239 –> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: good number. Donnie Edwards. We’re gonna post an interview I

742
00:37:46,040 –> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: did with Donnie who were who preceded you and wearing

743
00:37:49,080 –> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: that number. I think we’re gonna get that posted maybe

744
00:37:51,719 –> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow in the next couple of days. It’s phenomenal what

745
00:37:54,400 –> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: what Donnie Edwards is doing for World War Two veterans.

746
00:37:57,320 –> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it’s amazing. You’ll want to see it. And

747
00:37:59,440 –> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: then Reggie Ragland now is a Detroit Lions. So fifty

748
00:38:01,800 –> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: nine is wide open. So that first round draft pick

749
00:38:04,160 –> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: we take, if it’s a linebacker, we may give him

750
00:38:06,840 –> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: fifty nine. Brothers to get ready. We got it’s some

751
00:38:10,800 –> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: good ones that might be available between Patrick Queen and

752
00:38:13,600 –> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: the Murray kid out of Oklahoma and both of those guys,

753
00:38:17,000 –> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: and they might fall. Like I said, with all the

754
00:38:18,840 –> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 1: skill position quarterbacks and receivers. Corn of all these other

755
00:38:22,400 –> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: positions being taken. If one of those guys are available

756
00:38:25,560 –> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: at thirty two, like I said, a top twenty value

757
00:38:28,360 –> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: falls to your lap at thirty two, that would be

758
00:38:31,120 –> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: a great addition to this defense. Hey, if there’s Murray

759
00:38:34,520 –> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: Quinn or Zach Bond setting there, you would give him

760
00:38:37,120 –> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: fifty nine and I’ll give him my JV track warm

761
00:38:39,520 –> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: up from the JV when I ran the second leg

762
00:38:42,160 –> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: of the four by two. Thanks Barbershop. Next week, we’re

763
00:38:44,760 –> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: gonna take a week off from the Defending Kingdom podcast

764
00:38:47,160 –> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: because we’re gonna be all about the draft and just

765
00:38:49,680 –> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: check it out on Chiefs dot com. We got some

766
00:38:52,239 –> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: awesome draft ideas coming up next week. We’re gonna load

767
00:38:54,880 –> 00:38:58,560
