Speaker 1: And we’re gonna do that again this week as we
13
00:00:48,320 –> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: jump into the world of Tyreek Hill, the Cheetah many think,
14
00:00:52,760 –> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver in the National Football League, unarguably
15
00:00:57,120 –> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: the most explosive player in the National Football League. Before
16
00:01:00,120 –> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: we do this, I gotta give you an act of kindness.
17
00:01:02,520 –> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: Long before we were in COVID protocol, Sean Barbera gave
18
00:01:07,040 –> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: me this shot. I don’t know if you remember this.
19
00:01:09,560 –> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: You put this in a nice little decorative sack and
20
00:01:12,400 –> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: it is a warm vanilla sugar ani bacterial hand Jill.
21
00:01:15,520 –> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I’m just telling you that is an act of kindness
22
00:01:18,720 –> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: and I appreciate it. Hey, Man, right before the whole
23
00:01:22,760 –> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: COVID thing and everybody was quarantined, I went out and
24
00:01:25,600 –> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: bought it by one hundred of those at the local
25
00:01:28,560 –> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: bath and body works right there Oak Park Mall, and
26
00:01:31,880 –> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: me and my wife just thought it was a great
27
00:01:33,120 –> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: idea for our friends and family co workers. Man, put
28
00:01:36,480 –> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: about three or four them together, make a little gift
29
00:01:38,160 –> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: package to Hey. I know you’re gonna be needing to
30
00:01:40,280 –> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: keep your hands nic and in a germ free for
31
00:01:43,880 –> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. Man, So whatever you can do.
32
00:01:46,959 –> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: I always know that when we talk about leadership, we
33
00:01:50,160 –> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: talked about acts of kindness. You gotta be willing to
34
00:01:52,520 –> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: serve others, and so to a degree of service is
35
00:01:55,200 –> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: where you’re It kind of shows where your heart lies.
36
00:01:58,320 –> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Just want to let you know I appreciate it. Terrific
37
00:02:02,280 –> 00:02:04,919
Speaker 1: act of kindness from the heart from you and your wife.
38
00:02:04,920 –> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: All right, now we’re gonna jump into the cheetah. What’s
39
00:02:07,960 –> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: next for this guy. Let’s just look at some of
40
00:02:09,760 –> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: the numbers here last year. Let’s do not forget he
41
00:02:12,520 –> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: missed twenty three quarters in the regular season twenty three
42
00:02:15,680 –> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: quarters and still eighty nine targets, fifty eight catches and
43
00:02:22,000 –> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: gabba yards. Pro Football Focus rating head him at eighty
44
00:02:25,040 –> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: five a year ago, one hundred twenty nine targets mostly healthy,
45
00:02:29,720 –> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: eighty seven receptions again at gaba yards and touchdowns is
46
00:02:33,480 –> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: rating eighty nine point six. But we’re looking at here,
47
00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: and then let me just throw in the postseason here,
48
00:02:38,600 –> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: because this is phenomenal. He had sixteen targets in Super
49
00:02:41,400 –> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty four, sixteen targets with nine catches for one
50
00:02:45,280 –> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: hundred and five yards and the most famous second most
51
00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: famous for tied for the most famous play in the
52
00:02:49,840 –> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: sixty year history this franchise. Sixty five TPT is now
53
00:02:53,240 –> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: side by side with the wasp that is the Cheetah.
54
00:02:56,600 –> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: Now let’s check these boxes. I put it out on
55
00:02:59,040 –> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Twitter earlier. Is he the fastest in the league? Check?
56
00:03:03,000 –> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: Can he jump? He’s a crazy vertical Watch the Texans
57
00:03:05,840 –> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: game regular season three hands, ability to catch, hype point
58
00:03:10,440 –> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: a check strength. Check he looks like a Division one wrestler.
59
00:03:16,240 –> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: Now watch next for the Cheetah. Shop In your opinion, man,
60
00:03:19,760 –> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: the evolutionary cheata is something that’s always been. He’s chartering
61
00:03:24,840 –> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: into uncharted territory for a wide receiver. When I think
62
00:03:29,160 –> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: about comping him as far as where can I compare
63
00:03:32,680 –> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: Tyrek Hill to former wide receivers, there isn’t any You
64
00:03:37,520 –> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: have to combine like a Reggie Bush, a Tory Holt,
65
00:03:41,000 –> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: Steve Smith, and like a Joey Galloway. You know that
66
00:03:43,920 –> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: the speed from Galloway, the playmaking ability of Reggie Bush,
67
00:03:47,560 –> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: the to nasty and toughness to Steve Smith, and then
68
00:03:50,160 –> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: the route running as a Polish receiver of a Tory Holt.
69
00:03:53,080 –> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: If you take all their qualities and meshing together, you
70
00:03:56,280 –> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: get this special athlete that we use that we call
71
00:03:59,520 –> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the Cheetah here in the Kingdom. And he’s developing more
72
00:04:02,560 –> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: and more every year, starting in as a return specialist,
73
00:04:06,560 –> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: kind of a gadget play guy. You go back to
74
00:04:09,040 –> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen film, he was actually our number three wide receiver.
75
00:04:12,760 –> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: A couple of out routes. He was kind of body
76
00:04:14,760 –> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: catching and they made comments about his hands being something
77
00:04:18,160 –> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: he needed to prove on and he went to work.
78
00:04:20,440 –> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: He went to work in a big way that offseason,
79
00:04:22,720 –> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: working to judge and seen working in his hands and
80
00:04:25,320 –> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: now He’s one of the low drop guys in the league.
81
00:04:28,200 –> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: He’s a guy who has some of the most surous,
82
00:04:30,240 –> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: strongest hands you’ve seen. He has that confidence and trust
83
00:04:33,800 –> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: in his hands where he can run any route in
84
00:04:35,640 –> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: the field high pointed because you talked about athleticism, high
85
00:04:40,600 –> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: point the ball, and he is tremendous at catches that
86
00:04:45,040 –> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: are being competed for, and he does a great job
87
00:04:48,040 –> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: of turning small completions into touchdown big plays. Yeah, so
88
00:04:54,560 –> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: this Defending the Kingdom episode is a cheat of what next.
89
00:04:57,160 –> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: To me, I think he’s going to another level. I
90
00:04:58,760 –> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: think we agree about that, but how he’s doing it
91
00:05:01,520 –> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: is what’s most interesting to me. So postseason, Tyreek Hill
92
00:05:05,600 –> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: most targets, most receptions, most touchdowns of anybody in the postseason.
93
00:05:10,560 –> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: He had the extra game, but he’s also compared to
94
00:05:12,360 –> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: those other San Francisco receivers. I’m going to talk about
95
00:05:16,120 –> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: route running and then I had a chance to talk
96
00:05:18,279 –> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: with the Chetah a few days back, but he dives
97
00:05:21,880 –> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: into some of this stuff. But to me and for
98
00:05:24,080 –> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: two years shop I’ve talked about this. He and I
99
00:05:26,120 –> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: have had some great conversations one on one outside of
100
00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the public realm about his attention to detail and route running. Now,
101
00:05:33,440 –> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: you’ve been around this league a long time, there have
102
00:05:35,480 –> 00:05:37,559
Speaker 1: been a lot of real fast guys that don’t become
103
00:05:37,600 –> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: great because they don’t how to run routes, or a
104
00:05:39,680 –> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of route runners that don’t become great because they’re
105
00:05:41,640 –> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: not fast enough now or they become like possession guy.
106
00:05:45,680 –> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: Now all of a sudden, Tyreek Hill can do both.
107
00:05:48,040 –> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: But to me, his route running has been impeccable. The Wasp,
108
00:05:51,120 –> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the Wasp. Go back and watch him run the Wasp.
109
00:05:53,880 –> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: It is an unbelievable route, and he’s almost becoming uncoverable
110
00:05:57,360 –> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: on back shoulder throws because of how much it ben
111
00:06:00,360 –> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: he’s given to that part of his game. Yeah, with
112
00:06:03,680 –> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: the vertical push he can put on any dB, you
113
00:06:06,640 –> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: have to give him so much cushion that any stop
114
00:06:10,040 –> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: route under ten yards it is almost just like a
115
00:06:13,440 –> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: pitching catch. It’s going to be a seven on seven time.
116
00:06:15,680 –> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: There’s no stopping Tyreek Hill if it’s a one on
117
00:06:19,040 –> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: one matchup. If he’s running a vertical route and decide
118
00:06:21,320 –> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: to stop, he can. He can accelerate faster than any dB,
119
00:06:24,560 –> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: and then he knows when he wants to stop. As
120
00:06:26,440 –> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: long as him and patter on the same page, it’s
121
00:06:28,839 –> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: a completion, it’s the first down. But when you talk
122
00:06:31,400 –> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: about the complexity of the Wasp being able to do
123
00:06:34,000 –> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: a middle push vertical for about twenty or thirty yards
124
00:06:37,360 –> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: bended to manipulate the safety and then make a ninety
125
00:06:41,279 –> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: degree cut to the sideline, that play a middle depth
126
00:06:46,240 –> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: out route after a vertical push. First of all, most
127
00:06:49,680 –> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: receivers aren’t fast enough to complete that route with the
128
00:06:52,760 –> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: time necessary for a quarterback to deliver the ball. Most
129
00:06:56,320 –> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on the team don’t have a strong enough arm
130
00:06:59,160 –> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: to be able to where it needs to be from
131
00:07:01,800 –> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: the pocket, and so when you have a mixture of
132
00:07:04,560 –> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: Pat mahomes in his talent, then the vertical speed and
133
00:07:07,560 –> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: route running. In precise running of routes of a cheetah,
134
00:07:10,800 –> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: that route against any zone coverage becomes almost uncoatable unless
135
00:07:16,240 –> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: you want to take a defender and just say I’m
136
00:07:18,440 –> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna guess it’s the Wasp and I’m just gonna be lying.
137
00:07:21,240 –> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: I’m just gonna buzz twenty five yards, take an extra
138
00:07:24,320 –> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: defender avoid a zone just to take that one play away.
139
00:07:28,200 –> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: It’s unguardable. Yeah, and there’s a very few defenders will
140
00:07:33,240 –> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: do that one, and there’s so much other stuff to
141
00:07:35,040 –> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: worry about in this offense. We covered that last week
142
00:07:37,640 –> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: with Kelsey. But this route running, you know, I’d love
143
00:07:41,160 –> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: to go watch guys like Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne where
144
00:07:44,200 –> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: they were together with Pete Manning with the Kolts. Antonio Brown,
145
00:07:48,480 –> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: I know, is not a popular player right now, but
146
00:07:50,480 –> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: when he’s in his when he was in his prime
147
00:07:52,680 –> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, I mean, he was running routes like
148
00:07:55,920 –> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: a champion, so precise in a science, uncoverable in many instances.
149
00:08:01,000 –> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: And now, like you said, if they’ll stop, I got
150
00:08:03,680 –> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: to give him the stop route you want eight nine time,
151
00:08:05,560 –> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: I’m gonna give it to you because I don’t need
152
00:08:07,120 –> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: you killing me on some double move and then I’m
153
00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna try to muscle here. But that’s where the strength
154
00:08:11,760 –> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: comes into play. The second part of where the Cheetah
155
00:08:14,600 –> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: goes from here is where he gets into depth in
156
00:08:17,240 –> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: this conversation I had with him, and we’ll talk about
157
00:08:19,320 –> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: it after we hear from the Cheetah, but we’ll touch
158
00:08:22,760 –> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: on it here a little bit. That is his ability
159
00:08:25,160 –> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: to get conditioned to another level. Yes, he was telling
160
00:08:29,880 –> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: me he gets into this interview, he’s like I said,
161
00:08:31,520 –> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: what were you thinking when they called the Wasp in
162
00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. He’s thinking, oh my gosh, I got
163
00:08:35,800 –> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: to run the wasp. We think of the cheetah running
164
00:08:38,120 –> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: sixty meter dashes at the indoor dash. You know, he’s
165
00:08:40,600 –> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 1: so fast, but he’s really like a Kenyon distance runner
166
00:08:44,720 –> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: running this deeple chase of the ten thousand meter run,
167
00:08:47,480 –> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: because he’s got to run so many deep routes, so
168
00:08:50,679 –> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: the shape he’s got to be in. He’s trying to
169
00:08:53,120 –> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: go to another level to take himself in better shape
170
00:08:56,679 –> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: than he’s ever been in his life. And then if
171
00:08:59,440 –> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: you add on the amount of shifts, motions, ghost reverses.
172
00:09:04,120 –> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: He sometimes he runs thirty yards before we snapped the ball,
173
00:09:07,720 –> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: and then he’s a decoy play on that play, and
174
00:09:09,920 –> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: then he clears out a safety on a sixty yard
175
00:09:14,040 –> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: post pattern, and then he comes with a nine route,
176
00:09:16,600 –> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: and now he’s being targeted four plays later um with
177
00:09:20,040 –> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: a first dawn catch. If you was to put a
178
00:09:24,760 –> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: GPS on his helmet and monitor how many miles distance
179
00:09:29,200 –> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: wise he runs a ball game just for those seven
180
00:09:32,920 –> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: to eight catches, it would be it would be amazing.
181
00:09:36,080 –> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: I’m guaranteeing he leads the league in in actual distance
182
00:09:39,559 –> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: traveled per reception. When when you talk about receivers in
183
00:09:43,280 –> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: the league this year, that’s a fabulous point. So like
184
00:09:46,720 –> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: we’re going to give him one of those garment watches
185
00:09:49,520 –> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: plod you have to change the batteries at a halftime
186
00:09:51,920 –> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: because there’s so much going on back and forth and crossways,
187
00:09:55,760 –> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: and you really see a training camp when he’s had
188
00:09:57,600 –> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 1: to do that day after day after day after day.
189
00:10:00,400 –> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: But he’s trying to get himself in amazing shape. He
190
00:10:03,120 –> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: has given an example I think to all of us,
191
00:10:05,000 –> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 1: even young players including like your kids, to see, man,
192
00:10:09,240 –> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: how do you work out in this virtual environment and
193
00:10:11,960 –> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: to get ready for the season. So let’s jump into this.
194
00:10:16,000 –> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: A chance to talk with the cheetah. And where does
195
00:10:18,720 –> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: the Cheetah go from here? Okay, we’re taking it up
196
00:10:23,160 –> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: a notch on defending the kingdom. So good to see
197
00:10:26,440 –> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: this guy, Tyreek Hill, the Cheetah, fastest man in the NFL.
198
00:10:30,800 –> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: It is so good to see you, my friend. Yes Tera,
199
00:10:33,280 –> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Now you’re holding up. You’re doing
200
00:10:35,640 –> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: okay in the stay at home protocol. Look, I’m going
201
00:10:38,760 –> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: all right. I mean these quarantine workouts gotten me looking
202
00:10:40,920 –> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: like himboslice right now. We’re gonna get to that in
203
00:10:44,720 –> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: a second, because everybody else is trying to emulate it
204
00:10:47,160 –> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: now they’re all jacked out. Okay, I’m gonna tell you
205
00:10:50,160 –> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: one thing. You and I really haven’t had a chance
206
00:10:52,040 –> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: to talk. We saw each other a little bit. But
207
00:10:54,480 –> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: one of the coolest things about the Super Bowl was
208
00:10:57,120 –> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: being around your family sum and seeing that celebration after
209
00:11:00,160 –> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: the game. Just that moment for you and your family
210
00:11:03,240 –> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: and what it meant. Oh, I mean, I feel like
211
00:11:07,400 –> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: if um, just going back to like my high school
212
00:11:10,960 –> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: moments and just like dreaming of being an NFL player.
213
00:11:14,160 –> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: You know, I always wanted moments like that, I winning
214
00:11:16,200 –> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and then just having your family there.
215
00:11:18,400 –> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: You know, it’s just so surreal and it felt amazing,
216
00:11:22,080 –> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, to have my son, to have my little sister,
217
00:11:23,840 –> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: to have my mom there, and my grandparents, you know. So,
218
00:11:28,000 –> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that’s definitely a Buckelist dream aline so completed.
219
00:11:31,880 –> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Maybe I want to be around your grandparents a lot.
220
00:11:35,080 –> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: They are fun. Man, They’re awesome. All right, One quick

Speaker 1: able to have the endurance you gotta have for Andyuri’s offense,
260
00:13:39,880 –> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: you gotta have a strong core, right because you run
261
00:13:41,920 –> 00:13:44,200

262
00:13:44,240 –> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: and run another whop. So you run a forty four.
263
00:13:46,440 –> 00:13:48,560

290
00:15:05,880 –> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: and my position to receiver, right, I mean, like you

00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:23,840

Speaker 1: same thing. You gotta be different, you know. So each
306
00:15:48,040 –> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: each year I’m working on my routes, like I’m trying
307
00:15:50,520 –> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: to I’m trying to I’m trying to add that I
308
00:15:53,600 –> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: was crossover in my release. I’m trying to add something
309
00:15:55,960 –> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: to bunte Adam. I’m so, I’m I’m going to so
310
00:16:00,880 –> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: I’ll just be doing that, you know. I go like
311
00:16:03,640 –> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: I watched him, like every receiver in the game, you know,
312
00:16:07,600 –> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: I take something from them, you know, and I added
313
00:16:09,640 –> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: to my own craft box. They they don’t even know it.
314
00:16:11,840 –> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: Whether it’s a Julio, whether it’s a Mite, whether it’s
315
00:16:13,840 –> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 1: davante’stafun Antonio, it don’t matter. Like I’m adding it to
316
00:16:17,880 –> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: my craft box, you know, and your honor and your mom. Now,
317
00:16:22,040 –> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: but the way you’re playing, and it’s just to watch
318
00:16:24,400 –> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: you year by year, just to see you. Now you’re
319
00:16:27,480 –> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: just getting harder and harder to cover. But you bring
320
00:16:29,360 –> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: up something I want to ask you about. On the
321
00:16:31,440 –> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: play to play with Damien and the touchdown to take
322
00:16:33,560 –> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: the lead where he goes to the pylon. Now, all
323
00:16:35,200 –> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you because I’ve seen us run that play,
324
00:16:37,520 –> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: I knew it was going to playbook for the super Bowl.
325
00:16:40,280 –> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: You’re a decoy on that play. I mean, you’re a
326
00:16:42,640 –> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: big reason the way that play works because you watch
327
00:16:45,200 –> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: the Niners follow you, But now you’re unselfish. So how
328
00:16:48,080 –> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: about that? Knowing, Hey, this isn’t necessarily my play, but
329
00:16:51,000 –> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: I’m gonna make this play work for Damian. I mean
330
00:16:53,800 –> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: just I mean just being on this team, you know,
331
00:16:56,600 –> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: it just makes me happy. You know. I’m like I said,
332
00:16:58,720 –> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: I’m blessed to be a part of this team. So
333
00:17:00,320 –> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: why not go all out for my brothers because I
334
00:17:02,200 –> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: know they’ll do the same. You know. Um uh, Let’s
335
00:17:06,160 –> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: see if if we’re running a deep route and then
336
00:17:09,280 –> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: mean was in the backfield, I’m sure here here make
337
00:17:11,680 –> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: a hell of a block foot pat to get me
338
00:17:13,119 –> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: the ball. So that’s kind of the same thing, right,
339
00:17:15,680 –> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: So I know my teammates to do the same thing
340
00:17:17,920 –> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: for me. Go all out one hundred and ten percent. Yeah,
341
00:17:23,240 –> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: just one final question, I mean, how much you want
342
00:17:26,080 –> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: people remember you as a football player. We know, the
343
00:17:28,359 –> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: fastest guy in the league, we know all that, but huh,
344
00:17:31,840 –> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you’re working on a Hall of Fame career here, dude,
345
00:17:34,400 –> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: how much do you want people to go Tyreek Hill
346
00:17:36,480 –> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: was a football player. I want them to I want
347
00:17:39,680 –> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: them to say that a lot, man, I want I
348
00:17:40,960 –> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: want them to leave a legacy. You know, So when
349
00:17:42,880 –> 00:17:45,719
Speaker 1: my kids grew up. Like people will say, Man, your
350
00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: dad wasn’t it was an amazing football player. And not
351
00:17:48,040 –> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: only wasn’t the fastest he was, he was an amazing
352
00:17:50,840 –> 00:17:53,239
Speaker 1: route running. He was a complete wide out, you know.
353
00:17:53,359 –> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: So that legacy means a lot to me, man, because
354
00:17:56,240 –> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: when I leave and go on, like if my kids,
355
00:17:58,760 –> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: then well this is exciting. What do you tell the
356
00:18:03,880 –> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: chiefs kingdom? Now we’re all getting ready to run it back.
357
00:18:06,040 –> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: We’re all trying to stay at home and get out
358
00:18:07,720 –> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: of this and hit it, hit the ground running. What
359
00:18:11,359 –> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: do you tell everybody right now? And we’ll see y’all
360
00:18:14,440 –> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: in February and Temple, Man can’t wait. I’m calling it, Mitch,
361
00:18:18,920 –> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: I’m calling it man, I’m feeling it. So I’m with you.
362
00:18:23,600 –> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: I can’t wait to call your call. But it’s great
363
00:18:26,560 –> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: to see you, my friend, and just love your brother,
364
00:18:29,680 –> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: and we’ll see you soon. Thank you, man. I miss
365
00:18:32,040 –> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: you guys too, all of you guys. So there we go, guys.
366
00:18:35,960 –> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: He’s in a really good spot barbershop. I think of
367
00:18:40,000 –> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: where he is and seeing him celebrate on that field
368
00:18:42,680 –> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: of Super Bowl fifty four with his family was awesome.
369
00:18:46,400 –> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: But now all of a sudden Tyreek is dust. He’s
370
00:18:49,320 –> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: wanting to be great, and now all of a sudden,
371
00:18:51,920 –> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: when you start to look at these numbers, now we’ve
372
00:18:54,000 –> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: got to start talking about him as the best of
373
00:18:56,400 –> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: the best, and even thinking about having a Hall of
374
00:18:58,320 –> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Fame career, and he even talked about it, the legacy
375
00:19:00,680 –> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: that he wants to leave. But all these to me
376
00:19:02,880 –> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: are great signs of the Cheetah going to whatever that
377
00:19:07,119 –> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: next step is. And he’s headed there. Man, he wants
378
00:19:10,320 –> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: to get there, definitely. But the difference team being a
379
00:19:13,000 –> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: good receiver and a great receiver, and then the the
380
00:19:17,280 –> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: just the inch, the fragment of ability, the difference between
381
00:19:21,280 –> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: being a great receiver and an elite receiver. It’s something
382
00:19:24,560 –> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: that I think he self he took as a self
383
00:19:26,640 –> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: challenge this offseason. Coming up as a young man, I
384
00:19:30,480 –> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 1: thought I was a wide receiver. So I looked at
385
00:19:33,040 –> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice. That was somebody who I admired. I tried
386
00:19:36,960 –> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: to model myself every time I heard Jerry Rice talking
387
00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: about offseason workout, he talked about how he man It
388
00:19:44,119 –> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: was a it was a demand he put on himself
389
00:19:45,880 –> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: to be the best condition, not one of the best,
390
00:19:48,840 –> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: the best condition wide receiver in the league every single year,
391
00:19:53,840 –> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: and I think that played into him being the best
392
00:19:56,920 –> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: receiver of all time. When you talked about who was
393
00:20:00,240 –> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: the goat of the wide receivers, it is because he
394
00:20:02,560 –> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: was able to run his route so consistently all season long,
395
00:20:06,680 –> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: first quarter, the fourth quarter, game one, game sixteen, throughout
396
00:20:10,600 –> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, and then when it came to the
397
00:20:12,560 –> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: all season, he demanded himself to get back in that
398
00:20:16,040 –> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: same condition year after year, and in that in that
399
00:20:19,240 –> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: storybook career, I he is leading the NFL in all
400
00:20:24,600 –> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: time receiving yards and receptions as a wide receiver. Shop
401
00:20:28,600 –> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: these offseason workouts that Tyreek has put on social media,
402
00:20:33,440 –> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I’m tired even just talking about it. I
403
00:20:36,280 –> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: get I’ve had videos of little kids trying to do it,
404
00:20:38,960 –> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: families trying to do it, dads and moms. It’s it’s
405
00:20:43,320 –> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: it’s been phenomenal. First of all, I don’t know how
406
00:20:45,640 –> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: strong that dude’s core is, but it’s got to be
407
00:20:48,160 –> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: one of the strongest on the planet. And these workouts, man,
408
00:20:52,320 –> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: he has taken himself challenging himself to go to another level.
409
00:20:57,840 –> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: So he’s not satisfied with just being this or out
410
00:21:00,240 –> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: of the fastest or whatever. These workouts now are not
411
00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: only an inspiration to civilians and the chiefs kingdom, but
412
00:21:08,000 –> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: also his teammates. We even saw Nicole try to do
413
00:21:10,880 –> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: that hamstring left thing and he did okay, but tyriechs
414
00:21:14,880 –> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 1: on another planet. Yeah, his body is put together like
415
00:21:18,400 –> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: someone you’ve never seen before. You know, coming out of
416
00:21:21,040 –> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: the draft, a lot of people thought he was kind
417
00:21:22,760 –> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: of built more like a running back because he’s so
418
00:21:25,160 –> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: compact pound for pound. Definitely one of the toughest, fastest,
419
00:21:28,520 –> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: most durable receivers. And even though you know there were
420
00:21:32,320 –> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: some quarters missed with a guy’s finally tuned in his
421
00:21:36,080 –> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: final athlete as him, it’s the way he can recover
422
00:21:39,720 –> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: even even at eighty percent. He’s fastest than most of
423
00:21:43,359 –> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: the receivers out there. And when you have a guy
424
00:21:44,920 –> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: with that much speed and is able to perform even
425
00:21:47,920 –> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: at you know, sometimes that at one hundred percent, but
426
00:21:50,600 –> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: able to go out there and still give you that
427
00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: same impact. Defensively, you still have to respect his speed
428
00:21:56,760 –> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: even when he doesn’t show you it. He doesn’t showcase
429
00:21:59,600 –> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: it on us certain play. It demands a safety to
430
00:22:02,800 –> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: still cheat his side. No one is going solo man coverage,
431
00:22:07,400 –> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: No defensive back in our league wants to go one
432
00:22:10,040 –> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: on one jam rerouting at the ball and then expect
433
00:22:13,760 –> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: to keep verticu with Tyreek Hill. And then you put
434
00:22:17,960 –> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: in what is the defense is going to do to
435
00:22:20,240 –> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: try to manipulate or try to stop the Tyreek Hill
436
00:22:25,359 –> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Holmes Soccer, Well you think about it defensively, Well,
437
00:22:28,600 –> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: we gotta come after Pat. We gotta speed up Pat’s clock.
438
00:22:31,520 –> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: We can’t let him be back there like it’s seven
439
00:22:33,119 –> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: or seven. This deliberate on time and Tyreek What then
440
00:22:36,520 –> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: you’re thinking about Tyreek Hill. If they’re gonna press your Pat,
441
00:22:40,160 –> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: somebody has to be soloed up, somebody. You know, they
442
00:22:43,000 –> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: can’t just double me the entire game with the other
443
00:22:45,320 –> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: receivers we have on this team. So when that time
444
00:22:47,920 –> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: is called and you have a quarterback with the talent
445
00:22:50,920 –> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: level of Pat Mahomes, you know it’s only a matter
446
00:22:53,480 –> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: of time where he’s gonna find you. And this receiving
447
00:22:56,359 –> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: care they do a great job. When it’s signed to score,
448
00:22:59,280 –> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 1: it doesn’t matter or who scores. They all celebrate together.
449
00:23:02,960 –> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: And that mentality, I think it is something that keeps
450
00:23:04,920 –> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: anybody from being selfish or worrying about how many targets
451
00:23:08,480 –> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: they get. They see themselves as a unit being able
452
00:23:11,600 –> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: to perform at a very high level when compared to
453
00:23:14,040 –> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: other units in the league. And there is a creeping
454
00:23:17,720 –> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: problem on other teams, or can be in this league
455
00:23:20,680 –> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: when people start to worry about I gotta have this
456
00:23:23,480 –> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: many targets, I gotta have this many looks. Hey feed
457
00:23:26,400 –> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: me the ball. That’s when things can go off the
458
00:23:28,359 –> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: track real easily. That leads to the next part of
459
00:23:31,760 –> 00:23:35,160
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill where I’m really proud of him. One trying
460
00:23:35,160 –> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: to get to the next level, but two his ability
461
00:23:37,600 –> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: to be patient. Great receivers in this league have to
462
00:23:40,640 –> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: be patient and not get frustrated. Let me just give
463
00:23:42,560 –> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: an example, all right. We know in the postseason I
464
00:23:45,200 –> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: mentioned at the outset of this podcast, twenty seven targets
465
00:23:49,640 –> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: in the postseason, seventeen catches, sixteen targets in Super Bowl
466
00:23:53,359 –> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: fifty four. He also had a game where he had
467
00:23:56,000 –> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: nineteen targets at Tennessee. The Chiefs lost that game thirty
468
00:23:59,560 –> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: five two. I think of a game like a New
469
00:24:02,240 –> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: England when I went back and looked at it, eight targets,
470
00:24:04,720 –> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: six catches highly productive, and with Tyreek, he has the
471
00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: ability to be patient, patient within the scheme. He even
472
00:24:12,600 –> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: mentioned he takes pride in his blocking you mentioned earlier
473
00:24:16,080 –> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: before the interview with him, and he even mentioned in
474
00:24:18,840 –> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: the interview being a decoy. There’s times he’s a decoy.
475
00:24:21,560 –> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: He was a decoy on Damian Williams touchdown at the
476
00:24:24,480 –> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: pylon when the Chiefs took the lead in Super Bowl
477
00:24:27,440 –> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: fifty four. So he’s patient with all that. The other
478
00:24:32,119 –> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: thing is one of the countermeasures. Teams have been trying
479
00:24:34,480 –> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: to rough him up with the line of scrimmage throw
480
00:24:36,160 –> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: off the timing right. Jalen Ramsey tried to break his
481
00:24:38,400 –> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: collar bone on the sideline at Jacksonville. And yet this
482
00:24:42,600 –> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: dude is growing mentally and emotionally enough to stay patient
483
00:24:46,520 –> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: and not get frustrated. And to me, that’s another level
484
00:24:50,520 –> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: of the Cheetahs development. Yeah, it shows a maturity level. Guy.
485
00:24:54,400 –> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: He has the ultimate amount of trust in Andy Reid
486
00:24:57,400 –> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: and the coach the enemy that they understand the play
487
00:25:00,600 –> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: works if everybody shows maximum effort. Everybody has to believe
488
00:25:04,640 –> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: that they have a chance of getting the ball to
489
00:25:06,640 –> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 1: make a defense guard all aspects of the field. And
490
00:25:09,720 –> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: when you when you spread a defense, that then it
491
00:25:12,200 –> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: allows those plays like we saw in Jacksonville where Sammy
492
00:25:15,320 –> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: Watkins catches a slant, splits the defense and goes eighty
493
00:25:18,600 –> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: yards for a touchdown. If you have certain threats spread
494
00:25:22,000 –> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: around the field defensively, you can’t overreact to anything. And
495
00:25:25,880 –> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: then once the guy, no matter if it’s Cheatah, no
496
00:25:28,040 –> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 1: matter if it’s Sammy Kelsey, it doesn’t matter who catches
497
00:25:31,960 –> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: the ball, it still leaves that deepen so vulnerable for
498
00:25:35,280 –> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: yards after the catch. And that’s that commitment. Guys have
499
00:25:38,359 –> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: to Hey, if you’re running a decoy, a shallow route,
500
00:25:41,280 –> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: if you’re running a clear out route, you have to
501
00:25:43,880 –> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: do it knowing then in certain defenses, your deco becomes
502
00:25:48,680 –> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: primary route number one if the defense doesn’t play it
503
00:25:51,680 –> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 1: and react the way that we expect him to play it.
504
00:25:53,760 –> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: And so, man, you got five eligible receivers all running
505
00:25:57,560 –> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: like the grounds on fire. It’s a you know what
506
00:26:00,880 –> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: against the defense trying to play fifty yards deep and
507
00:26:04,080 –> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: then trying to come tack hill whoever the running back
508
00:26:07,000 –> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: he is, or whoever the tight end is after a
509
00:26:09,119 –> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: short completion and keep him from from getting a first down.
510
00:26:13,440 –> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: Nineteen fifty plus plays in the regular season, fifty plus,
511
00:26:17,600 –> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: not forty. The wasp plus forty four and it was
512
00:26:19,840 –> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: in the postseason, but still fifty plus plays. Nineteen fifty
513
00:26:23,160 –> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: plus plays. That’s what we can see and go just
514
00:26:26,200 –> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: shake our head like, wow, that’s unreal. But it’s also
515
00:26:29,040 –> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: what we don’t see. His blocking, his patients, his ability
516
00:26:32,560 –> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: to be precise. And that’s why now we got to
517
00:26:36,119 –> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: start talking about the Cheetah, as you mentioned the very
518
00:26:38,280 –> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: outset of this podcast, not as a gadget guy. Yeah
519
00:26:40,960 –> 00:26:43,959
Speaker 1: he can still return to punch and kicks, but now
520
00:26:43,960 –> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, we got to start talking about
521
00:26:45,680 –> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: him as one of the premier receivers in the National
522
00:26:47,800 –> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Football League, not just now. It becomes comparative to some
523
00:26:51,800 –> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: of the greatest ever play definitely, and it’s always that
524
00:26:54,760 –> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: what’s next. So you challenge yourself as a as a
525
00:26:58,200 –> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: as a as a professional, UM to not let those
526
00:27:01,280 –> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: pats on the backs, not let the Madden rating of
527
00:27:05,920 –> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: ninety nine or wherever it is you’re your speed rating
528
00:27:08,280 –> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: affect how you’re gonna approach the offseason. Um, he understands this.
529
00:27:12,560 –> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 1: You know, we named this podcast Defending the Kingdom before
530
00:27:17,000 –> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs actually won a champion ship, and so we
531
00:27:20,400 –> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: saw the greatness we knew what we had here in
532
00:27:23,200 –> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City way before everybody else. But that doesn’t that
533
00:27:26,320 –> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: doesn’t change anything. We still prepare UM to have a
534
00:27:31,280 –> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: number one podcast each and every week, not because now
535
00:27:35,480 –> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs are the champion, but because the quality
536
00:27:39,280 –> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: that me and you um expect and demand of each
537
00:27:42,880 –> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: other when it comes to being a professional communicator teacher.
538
00:27:47,600 –> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: We want our fan base to be d number one
539
00:27:49,720 –> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: fan base as far as understanding what professional football really
540
00:27:53,680 –> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: is all about. Absolutely, and what professional football is all
541
00:27:58,640 –> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: about is a guy like I re killed trying to
542
00:28:01,200 –> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 1: be uh the best in every way, shape or form.
543
00:28:05,480 –> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 1: It’s just it’s exciting to see it. And uh, you
544
00:28:09,240 –> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 1: know he’s he’s working to stay healthy this year. Uh
545
00:28:12,200 –> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: it’s he can go off the chain, their shirt and
546
00:28:14,640 –> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: off the chart with those plays. And I’m just glad
547
00:28:17,119 –> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: he’s on our side. Shop man. Having to play like
548
00:28:20,119 –> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: a player, like we said, we’re like like like cheetah man.
549
00:28:22,520 –> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: It’s almost when you have Andy Reid and coach the enemy,
550
00:28:25,840 –> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: they’re playing a game like battleship. Um. The first ten
551
00:28:29,600 –> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: or so plays, they’re just they’re they’re they’re throwing plays
552
00:28:32,560 –> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: left and right. Just want to see how the defense react.
553
00:28:35,000 –> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 1: You know, we missed there, we missed there, or we
554
00:28:37,600 –> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: hit there, but we don’t need to go back there
555
00:28:39,720 –> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: right now. We we’re gonna we’re gonna mark that down
556
00:28:41,920 –> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: as a hit because we know you gotta ship over there,
557
00:28:44,280 –> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: and we’re gonna sink that battleship when when we need to.
558
00:28:47,080 –> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: But we’re gonna keep on throwing some other things. And
559
00:28:49,640 –> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: they’re like blood. Once they smell blood in that water,
560
00:28:52,360 –> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 1: they’re like bloodhounds, and your your defensive game plan is over,
561
00:28:56,120 –> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: your day is over. Once they hit on a few
562
00:28:58,720 –> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: of those shots. Absolutely enjoyed this. I’m gonna enjoy watching
563
