00:00:28,080 –> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: especially over the past three weeks. But here we are, Matt.

9
00:00:30,880 –> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: We’re gonna jump back into it and get after it. Yeah. Yeah,

10
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: it’s been a crazy couple of months. It was almost

11
00:00:35,680 –> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: two months ago exactly we had our last show preview

12
00:00:38,520 –> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: in the AFC Championship Game. A lot has happened since then.

13
00:00:41,920 –> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: Of course, February is kind of a slow month for

14
00:00:44,760 –> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: us after losing the AFC title game, but March was

15
00:00:48,200 –> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: just as crazy as February was not crazy. And the

16
00:00:51,720 –> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: AFC West, the whole AFC. Everyone’s trying to load up

17
00:00:54,440 –> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: and catch the Chiefs, but we don’t think they will.

18
00:00:56,920 –> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: But lots of news going on over the last several weeks,

19
00:01:00,040 –> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: and we’ll try our best to talk about as much

20
00:01:01,840 –> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: as we can. We got a lot to recap here,

21
00:01:04,040 –> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: and if you haven’t seen it, I was on with

22
00:01:05,600 –> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: Andrew Ceciliana last week on the NFL Network and I

23
00:01:08,040 –> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: got asked the question, has the AFC West passed the

24
00:01:10,880 –> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs up? And as you know, if you’ve seen it,

25
00:01:13,120 –> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: the fur got up on the back of my neck.

26
00:01:15,560 –> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: But you can go back and find that. You can

27
00:01:17,959 –> 00:01:21,639
Speaker 1: find it various places. But this episode of Defending the Kingdom,

28
00:01:21,640 –> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: we’re going to go in three different directions. The first

29
00:01:24,400 –> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: direction is what I call Spider Man jammies. You get

30
00:01:27,959 –> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: to that in a second too, is we’re going to

31
00:01:30,680 –> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: spend some time with Mark quiz Valdes Scantling the new

32
00:01:33,120 –> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs formerly of the

33
00:01:35,760 –> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers. And then thirdly, new windows. Sometimes springs

34
00:01:39,640 –> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: meet gets window replacements. Well, a new window has flown

35
00:01:43,280 –> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: open for the Kansas City Chiefs, so get ready for that.

36
00:01:46,040 –> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: But before we dive into this into the deep end

37
00:01:48,160 –> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: of the pool, we have heard from the Kingdom, which

38
00:01:51,480 –> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: means we’ve heard from all around the world. So the

43
00:02:03,920 –> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: And just because we went on hiatus for two months

44
00:02:06,080 –> 00:02:08,200

Speaker 1: the equator, anywhere point the equator. You know. I did

154
00:08:30,680 –> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: a similar thing once. My dad and I used to

155
00:08:32,720 –> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: throw the baseball and play catch in different places around

156
00:08:34,920 –> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: the world than we did it in Ecuador over the

157
00:08:37,320 –> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: equator once. It’s pretty cool. That’s why you’re the match dad,

158
00:08:40,440 –> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: see you just you’ve done things if none of us

159
00:08:42,280 –> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: have ever done. Okay, playing catch on the equator, that’s

160
00:08:45,320 –> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: always good. Let’s jump in now to this get into

161
00:08:48,240 –> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: the meat of the matter here. Let’s start with what

162
00:08:50,679 –> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: I call spider Man jammies free agency and what it’s

163
00:08:54,120 –> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: become of the National Football League and not just the

164
00:08:56,559 –> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: ringing the bell like the New York Stock Exchange. To

165
00:08:58,800 –> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: start the frenzy. Oh, now we have the twenty four

166
00:09:02,080 –> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: to forty eight hours legal tampering, which causes everybody to

167
00:09:06,440 –> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: lose their mind, and then free agency starts. But what

168
00:09:09,800 –> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: I call it Spider Man Jamie’s because to me, this

169
00:09:12,240 –> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: is the equivalent of Black Friday shopping after Thanksgiving. Right,

170
00:09:17,000 –> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: people can’t get it online or they’re told they can’t

171
00:09:19,200 –> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: get it online, so they’re gonna line up outside of

172
00:09:21,160 –> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: the store at three am, and the store doesn’t open

173
00:09:24,000 –> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: on nine, but they’re gonna wait six hours and go

174
00:09:27,040 –> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: through fasting and having Sterno cans just to wait to

175
00:09:30,120 –> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: get into the store to get a Spider Man Jammie. Now,

176
00:09:33,559 –> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: you can get them a week later at twenty percent less,

177
00:09:36,240 –> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: or get them on sale after January, but you gotta

178
00:09:39,040 –> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: have it on Black Friday. You catch my drift here

179
00:09:41,679 –> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: right or heading the electronics and headed for the latest

180
00:09:44,640 –> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: gadget to get it. But that to me is what

181
00:09:47,960 –> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: NFL free agency is like. In the first four or

182
00:09:50,240 –> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: five days, and we saw, particularly the AFC West, go

183
00:09:54,360 –> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: absolutely crazy. Yeah we did. Also, legal tampering is kind

184
00:09:57,600 –> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: of an oxymoron, it seems like that. Yeah, But but but

185
00:10:00,360 –> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: we saw a lot and we’re just refreshing, be not speed.

186
00:10:02,720 –> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: People drive safely except the twenty four hours in advance

187
00:10:06,559 –> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: of that. You can just drive however fast you want.

188
00:10:08,720 –> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: I don’t get it, but it’s turned into craziness. Yeah,

189
00:10:11,520 –> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: well we saw that across the league, and we’re just

190
00:10:13,200 –> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: refreshing Twitter like everyone else, trying to see where these

191
00:10:15,320 –> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: guys are ending up. And we mentioned how the AFC

192
00:10:17,920 –> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: West and the AFC as a whole is maybe a

193
00:10:20,679 –> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: bit tired of seeing the Chiefs host the AFC title

194
00:10:22,920 –> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: game every single year and years exactly, and they’re doing

195
00:10:27,520 –> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: whatever they can in free agency to find a way

196
00:10:29,320 –> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: to catch up to the Chiefs. So we saw the

197
00:10:31,960 –> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: Chargers trading for Khalil Mack, signing JC Jackson to a

198
00:10:34,960 –> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: huge deal, making a lot of moves along the defensive line.

199
00:10:37,800 –> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: So the Broncos of course trade for Russell Wilson and

200
00:10:40,400 –> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: do some other things like get Randy Gregory, and then

201
00:10:43,280 –> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: you know the Raiders of course signing Chandler Jones, signing

202
00:10:46,880 –> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: Max Crosby to a big extension, and trading for Davante Adams.

203
00:10:49,760 –> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: So these teams in the AFC West and in the

204
00:10:52,520 –> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: AFC as a whole, we saw what the Bills did

205
00:10:54,320 –> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: going after von miller Um. They’re trying to load up

206
00:10:56,960 –> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: and get all their horses to see what they can

207
00:10:58,600 –> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: do in the season gets here. It’s gonna be a

208
00:11:00,600 –> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I know a lot of people are

209
00:11:02,040 –> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: saying that the AFC West could be the best division

210
00:11:04,360 –> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: in NFL history. We’ll see if it plays out that way.

211
00:11:06,800 –> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: But as you mentioned on NFL Network just a few

212
00:11:09,960 –> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: days ago, who’s the six time defending AFC West champion,

213
00:11:13,559 –> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: who has Patrick Mahomes and coach Reid? We do, so

214
00:11:17,000 –> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: it should be a lot of a lot of fun

215
00:11:18,400 –> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: seeing how this all plays out. But they’re coming for us,

216
00:11:20,360 –> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: for sure. They’re doing what they can in free agency

217
00:11:22,480 –> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: to try to come after the Chiefs. And it’s not

218
00:11:24,320 –> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: as if the Chiefs have just set on the side

219
00:11:26,960 –> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: and go, oh okay, just let us know when this

220
00:11:29,280 –> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: is all over, because the Chiefs have been active as well.

221
00:11:31,920 –> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: Now let’s talk about the cost here. This is Spider

222
00:11:34,480 –> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 1: Man Jamie’s right on the Friday of Black Friday, and

223
00:11:36,720 –> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: you’re paying one hundred bucks for the Spider Man Jamie’s

224
00:11:39,080 –> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: whose eyes light up. That’s what it feels like like, Really,

225
00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: we’re going to spend one hundred bucks on that. Now,

226
00:11:44,200 –> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: this is some why spending. However, with the salary cap

227
00:11:47,040 –> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: rat keep in mind it’s like your credit card. You’re

228
00:11:49,920 –> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: still gonna have to pay your credit card bill. The

229
00:11:53,080 –> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: Raiders Davante Adam Steel is one hundred forty one million

230
00:11:56,760 –> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: dollars over five years, basically twenty eight million a year.

231
00:12:00,559 –> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Took the market of wide receivers up. Would get to

232
00:12:02,720 –> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: that in a second that you mentioned the Max Crosby redo,

233
00:12:06,240 –> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: really good player, tough the block, high energy, fifty three

234
00:12:09,440 –> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: million guaranteed guaranteed, not funny money guaranteed for the Chargers.

235
00:12:15,960 –> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: Two deals forty million dollars guaranteed for both Mike Williams

236
00:12:19,920 –> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: and a good corner in JC Jackson really good in

237
00:12:22,240 –> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: New England fourteen million guaranteed. And you mentioned the Russ

238
00:12:25,559 –> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: Wilson deal that also included losing draft capital and sending

239
00:12:30,520 –> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: players like no Offense off to a Seattle to play

240
00:12:35,120 –> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. It does not come without cost, and

241
00:12:38,440 –> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: we have seen it, the Chiefs have gone through it.

242
00:12:40,520 –> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: When you do this, it’s to me it’s an all

243
00:12:43,480 –> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: in for twenty twenty two and twenty three maybe, but

244
00:12:47,679 –> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: there is cost here, yea. And when you do it,

245
00:12:50,000 –> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: You’re gonna have to deal with it at some point. Well,

246
00:12:51,960 –> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: And what we’re seeing is these teams, notably the Bills,

247
00:12:55,080 –> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers, and the Raiders to an extent, are trying

248
00:12:58,440 –> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: to take advantage of not paying the quarterback a ton

249
00:13:00,400 –> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: of money right now. And when you have Justin Herbert

250
00:13:02,880 –> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: on their rookie deal, you haven’t given them their big

251
00:13:04,840 –> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: mega extension yet. You can afford to pay a lot

252
00:13:07,400 –> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: of these players. But yeah, and we’ve gone through that

253
00:13:09,400 –> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: right sure, Yeah, and we enjoyed it, just the normal

254
00:13:11,679 –> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: laps around the track we talked about. Yeah, but how

255
00:13:13,960 –> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: does the team handle the second portion of that once

256
00:13:16,080 –> 00:13:17,599
Speaker 1: you pay your quarterback? And that’s what we’re seeing the

257
00:13:17,679 –> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: Chiefs handle right now, and I think handling it in

258
00:13:20,720 –> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: a very forward thinking way. I think we’ll get into

259
00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: that later, but it’ll be interesting to see these contracts

260
00:13:25,960 –> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: for teams like the Bills, when you give von Miller

261
00:13:29,040 –> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: all that money, or the Chargers, when you give all

262
00:13:30,760 –> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: that guaranteed money to players, how that affects them in

263
00:13:33,360 –> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years. And that story will write itself.

264
00:13:35,960 –> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: But a lot of competition for sure in the AFC

265
00:13:38,720 –> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: part of the correction here, for the Chiefs too, and

266
00:13:40,559 –> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: dealing with that because they are in the So what

267
00:13:42,559 –> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: we call the second lap of Patrick Mahomes career and

268
00:13:45,840 –> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: now his extension and his bigger contract has been the

269
00:13:49,760 –> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: way the Chiefs have started to put together their roster.

270
00:13:52,679 –> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: Now we’re going to touch on this a little bit

271
00:13:54,240 –> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: later in the New Windows portion of this Defending the

272
00:13:57,240 –> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: Kingdom podcast, But the Chiefs have been busy. Let’s start

273
00:14:00,679 –> 00:14:04,359
Speaker 1: here with Justin Reid, the safety from the Houston Texans.

274
00:14:04,400 –> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: A guy who has been highly productive there was highly

275
00:14:08,240 –> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: thought of coming out of Stanford. But a physical player,

276
00:14:11,840 –> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: an athletic player, ball skills here, and for the most part,

277
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: has been very durable, had some injury issues last year,

278
00:14:19,800 –> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: but durable and reliable. He seems to be like a

279
00:14:22,680 –> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: safety that compliments one Thornhill very well. And what Steve

280
00:14:26,400 –> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: Spagnola likes to do and the fact that he asks

281
00:14:29,040 –> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: his safeties. Remember we play three safety nickel a lot,

282
00:14:32,480 –> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: or we’ll play three safety dimes sixty b’s a lot,

283
00:14:35,600 –> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: and Reid seems to fit that scheme and the skill

284
00:14:41,680 –> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: set that Spags wants. Yeah, super excited for this kid.

285
00:14:44,240 –> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: First of all, he’s young, He’s only twenty five years old,

286
00:14:46,520 –> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: so you’re investing in the fact that he’s going to

287
00:14:48,120 –> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: get better over the next several years. But really it’s

288
00:14:50,920 –> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: three things for me when I look at Justin Reid.

289
00:14:52,920 –> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: It’s size, he’s six ft two hundred and three pounds.

290
00:14:55,640 –> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: He’s exceptionally athletic and you hinted at that. And also

291
00:14:58,760 –> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: he’s versatile. He’s super He can play all over the place,

292
00:15:01,320 –> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: so you can play him at free safety, but you

293
00:15:03,320 –> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: can also put him in the box, you can put

294
00:15:04,800 –> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: him at slot corner if you need to. He can

295
00:15:06,920 –> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: even be your kicker. He sell those videos of him

296
00:15:09,080 –> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: and the preseason last year for the Texans, like booting

297
00:15:11,480 –> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: a kickoff, and this also shows his athleticism because on

298
00:15:14,520 –> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: one of those kickoffs, which first of all, what as

299
00:15:17,080 –> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: safety is kicking the ball off like an NFL kicker

300
00:15:19,360 –> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: could and actually doing a really good job of it.

301
00:15:21,880 –> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: But he also got down the field in coverage and

302
00:15:24,120 –> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: made a tackle on one of those kickoffs. So it

303
00:15:26,000 –> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: shows just how athletic this kid is. And like I mentioned,

304
00:15:28,920 –> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: you’re investing in the fact that he’s only going to

305
00:15:30,760 –> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: get better over time. He made a ton of big

306
00:15:33,200 –> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: plays for the Texans in his time there, plays that

307
00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: won games for the Texans, particularly in his first two

308
00:15:38,280 –> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: years as a player in this league. The Texans overall

309
00:15:41,360 –> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: just haven’t had a ton of success as a team.

310
00:15:43,760 –> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: We all know that. But he’s one of the bright

311
00:15:45,760 –> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: spots on that group. So really excited for Justin Reed

312
00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: to be a member of this defense. He’s physical, doesn’t afraid,

313
00:15:50,600 –> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: not afraid to tackle. Remember the hit he had on

314
00:15:53,200 –> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill actually in the playoffs. That was a big

315
00:15:55,960 –> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: time hit. To think about a three safety nickel here,

316
00:15:58,840 –> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: a quasi safety corner hybrid in sneed. If you have

317
00:16:02,000 –> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: Snead Reid in Thornhill, you have got three high level

318
00:16:05,160 –> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: athletes in that coverage scheme. All right, let’s go quickly

319
00:16:08,200 –> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 1: with Deon Bush from the Bears coming over, great special

320
00:16:10,880 –> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: teams guy, eight special teams tackles last year for Chicago.

321
00:16:14,960 –> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: Let’s jump into these offensive guys. Though, Juju Smith Schuster

322
00:16:18,960 –> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: got everybody’s attention now, everybody in the Chiefs Kingdom going, hey,

323
00:16:22,880 –> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: give us the twenty eighteen Juju Smith Schuster because he

324
00:16:25,680 –> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: was phenomenal in that season. Just get him healthy and

325
00:16:28,320 –> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: ready to go. But we know the talent’s there. Yeah,

326
00:16:30,160 –> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: the talent is certainly there. First of all, this guy

327
00:16:32,200 –> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: has size. We all know that he’s a bigger bodied receiver,

328
00:16:34,960 –> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: but he can also stretch the field vertically, particularly in

329
00:16:37,520 –> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: that twenty eighteen season where he was so good for

330
00:16:40,000 –> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers, he could stretch the field vertically with the

331
00:16:42,680 –> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: best of him. Where he’s really been utilized lately, though,

332
00:16:46,040 –> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: is in the short intermediate routes out of the slot.

333
00:16:48,640 –> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: So sixty two percent of his targets over the last

334
00:16:51,040 –> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: two seasons we’re on those short routes between one and

335
00:16:53,600 –> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: ten yards from the line of scrimmage. I think if

336
00:16:56,360 –> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: teams are going to defend the Chiefs a certain way,

337
00:16:58,600 –> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: and we’ll see what they do next year with Tyree

338
00:17:00,440 –> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: Hill no longer being in the fold for the Chiefs.

339
00:17:02,240 –> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: But if you want to open up the middle of

340
00:17:03,560 –> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: the field, Juju Smith Schuster is going to live there

341
00:17:06,240 –> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 1: over and over again. And he’s the kind of receiver

342
00:17:08,400 –> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: that can get himself open. You don’t need to scheme

343
00:17:10,359 –> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: open Juju Smith Schuster. He’s a capable, veteran receiver in

344
00:17:13,520 –> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: this league that can get himself open and read a

345
00:17:15,920 –> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: defense and adjust accordingly. So I’m really excited to see

346
00:17:18,960 –> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: what a healthy Juju Smith Schuster can do in this offense.

347
00:17:22,280 –> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: And as we’ll talk about with other players, his team

348
00:17:24,320 –> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: is adding, it’s several veteran capable receivers that know how

349
00:17:28,400 –> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: to read a defense and know how to get themselves open.

350
00:17:31,040 –> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: And when you have lots of different players that can

351
00:17:32,680 –> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: do that, if you’re a defense, you can’t key in

352
00:17:34,680 –> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: on just one guy. You can’t key in on Travis Kelsey,

353
00:17:37,119 –> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: you can’t just key in on Juju Smith Schuster. So

354
00:17:39,880 –> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: if he can stay healthy once again, I expect a

355
00:17:41,880 –> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 1: big year from Juju as both an intermediate short game

356
00:17:45,200 –> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: threat and a vertical threat down the field. Yeah, and

357
00:17:47,160 –> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: he’s spent around winning football. Was with a high level

358
00:17:49,359 –> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: quarterback in Ben roethlisbergerl at the end of his career

359
00:17:51,680 –> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, but in eighteen, Big Ben

360
00:17:53,840 –> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: was still slinging it. Now the other thing here, and

361
00:17:56,200 –> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: will be honest with Tyreek Hill. We know about his

362
00:17:58,359 –> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: speed and the wasp and all that, but last year

363
00:18:00,760 –> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: only Justin Jefferson was better in third down receptions for

364
00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: first down, So who’s going to fill that void? Because

365
00:18:06,520 –> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: that’s the sneaky void. You’ve got the chain mover basically,

366
00:18:09,720 –> 00:18:11,640
Speaker 1: and these guys all can do that. But Juju Smith

367
00:18:11,680 –> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: schuster ability to get open in that second part of

368
00:18:14,800 –> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: the field is big I think for this team. All right,

369
00:18:17,040 –> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: quickly go to Ronald Jones Junior. Now, there are some

370
00:18:20,000 –> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: plays that are etched into my brain that I just

371
00:18:23,000 –> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: can’t see anything else about that. But when we got

372
00:18:25,880 –> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones Junior, it was the throw in the flat

373
00:18:28,560 –> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs in the twenty twenty regular season game

374
00:18:31,720 –> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: in Tampa. He was outstanding on that play and that’s

375
00:18:35,640 –> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: his only receiving touchdown. But keep in mind, now we’re

376
00:18:38,440 –> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: talking a lot of productivity and a tough, physical runner

377
00:18:42,119 –> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: that is athletic, kind of in the Damian Williams mood

378
00:18:47,280 –> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: here road here. But the fact that you’ve got a bigger, stronger,

379
00:18:51,080 –> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: faster back to compliment the guys that are already in

380
00:18:53,440 –> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: that RB room, I think that’s the biggest thing. He’s

381
00:18:55,240 –> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: a compliment in this RB room. And he’s not very old.

382
00:18:58,040 –> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: He’s only been in the league at four years. He

383
00:19:00,480 –> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: was like a spirited a longer week. It does. It

384
00:19:02,040 –> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: seems like he’s been in the league a long time.

385
00:19:03,560 –> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: But this kid is still super young in his mid twenties.

386
00:19:05,960 –> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: Room to grow, just like a guy like Justin Reid,

387
00:19:08,480 –> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: and when you think about what he does best, it’s

388
00:19:10,840 –> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: in between the tackles, downhill running and the chiefs that’s

389
00:19:14,200 –> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: an area where they could really use the guy who

390
00:19:15,920 –> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: can really do that with effectiveness. Just a season removed,

391
00:19:19,359 –> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: of course, from nine hundred and seventy eight rushing yards

392
00:19:21,600 –> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: and eight total touchdowns while averaging five point one yards

393
00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: per carry, that was among the best numbers in the

394
00:19:27,080 –> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: NFL for running backs in terms of that yards per

395
00:19:29,000 –> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: carry average. I mean, he was their starter for the

396
00:19:31,200 –> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: most part until Leonard Furnette really started taking all the

397
00:19:33,400 –> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: carries in Tampa back to back seasons with a thousand

398
00:19:37,119 –> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: yards from scrimmage between the nineteen and twenty seasons. So

399
00:19:39,880 –> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: he’s done this recently. And I mentioned between the tackles.

400
00:19:43,040 –> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty, he rushed for seven hundred and

401
00:19:45,480 –> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: twelve yards and averaged five point eight yards per carry

402
00:19:48,800 –> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: between the tackles. So if you need three or four yards,

403
00:19:52,240 –> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones traditionally has been a guy you can turn

404
00:19:54,320 –> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: around and give him the football and he can find

405
00:19:56,200 –> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: a way to get that yardage. So I’m excited to

406
00:19:58,160 –> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: see how he kind of fits in to what the

407
00:20:00,119 –> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 1: just want to do once again with no Tyreek Hill

408
00:20:02,440 –> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: on this team anymore. I think the scheme, it’s an

409
00:20:04,760 –> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: opportunity for the scheme to evolve in a lot of ways,

410
00:20:07,320 –> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: and Ronald Jones being part of this team now should

411
00:20:09,480 –> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: be an interesting part of that and part of that

412
00:20:11,119 –> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: chain moving thing I was talking about. Third and short

413
00:20:13,760 –> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: doesn’t always necessarily throwing the ball, and so Ronald Jones

414
00:20:16,800 –> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: Junior can provide that. The other thing good for Ronald

415
00:20:19,440 –> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 1: Joones Junior and good for the Chiefs is the fact

416
00:20:21,480 –> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: that you’re not asking him to carry it twenty five

417
00:20:23,520 –> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: times or have thirty touches he can get. That takes

418
00:20:27,800 –> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: some load off of him and use him when he’s needed.

419
00:20:30,400 –> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: That actually helps him in his career and helps play

420
00:20:33,119 –> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: to his game. All right, now, second part of the

421
00:20:36,440 –> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom podcast here is the next piece of

422
00:20:40,040 –> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: the acquisitions. That’s mark Quiz Valdes Scantling. We played this

423
00:20:43,440 –> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: guy twice, played him in nineteen, played him last year

424
00:20:46,520 –> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: when the Packers came to Arrowhead and Ghi Field. That

425
00:20:49,240 –> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: Arrowhead stayed him on both occasions. But Markus Valdes Scantling,

426
00:20:53,680 –> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: when you look at it, and during this podcast, in

427
00:20:56,320 –> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: this interview, you’ll see I had my boards from when

428
00:20:58,440 –> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: we played him. I put him up to the screen,

429
00:21:00,240 –> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 1: but on there you see some of the biggest plays

430
00:21:03,880 –> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: in the National Football League of twenty yards or more

431
00:21:06,280 –> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: from this guy. He’s got speed and size. He led

432
00:21:09,080 –> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: the NFL an average depth of target two years in

433
00:21:11,640 –> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: a row, last year and the year before that. He’s

434
00:21:13,960 –> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: six four, two hundred and six pounds, but serious speed

435
00:21:17,359 –> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: to go with that size. You really don’t find guys

436
00:21:19,400 –> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: like that very much who are that big but can

437
00:21:21,480 –> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: also stretch the field. If you’re trying to find ways

438
00:21:24,080 –> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: to replicate kind of what Tyreek Hill did for you,

439
00:21:26,440 –> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: I’m not saying he is Tyreek Hill, but he can

440
00:21:28,119 –> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: do those same kind of things where he can run

441
00:21:29,760 –> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: down the field and if you’re a safety or a corner,

442
00:21:32,040 –> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge it and know that he can

443
00:21:33,880 –> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: get himself open down the field. But also I think

444
00:21:36,680 –> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: the part of his game that can grow really in

445
00:21:38,680 –> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and excited to see kind of how he

446
00:21:40,480 –> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: does grow is with that size as a red zone threat,

447
00:21:43,320 –> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: as a short yardage chains mover. So really excited to

448
00:21:46,400 –> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: see what Marquez Valdez Scanley can do in Kansas City,

449
00:21:48,880 –> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: and it’s been a while since the Chiefs have had

450
00:21:50,640 –> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: a guy this fast, in this tall, as you alluded to. Now,

451
00:21:53,320 –> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you open up what the Chargers

452
00:21:55,080 –> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: do with Mike Williams back shoulder throws, high point plays,

453
00:21:58,840 –> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: corner routes in the red zone. But you also got

454
00:22:01,440 –> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: the big place seventy five yard touchdown last year at

455
00:22:03,680 –> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: Minnesota seventy eight and a seventy two and twenty twenty

456
00:22:07,080 –> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: against the Raiders in nineteen to seventy four yard touchdown

457
00:22:10,440 –> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: and four catches one hundred fifteen yards against Tampa Bay

458
00:22:16,800 –> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Or it could have been Green Bay

459
00:22:19,320 –> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: playing the Chiefs in Super Bowl fifty five. We had

460
00:22:21,760 –> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: to play a team on their home field. All that

461
00:22:24,880 –> 00:22:27,239
Speaker 1: being said, though, I love it when you and I

462
00:22:27,440 –> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: both get the chance to talk to our guys and

463
00:22:31,240 –> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to talk to Marquis Valdez scantling, and

464
00:22:34,800 –> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: here is that conversation. Well, as we pivot just a

465
00:22:39,000 –> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 1: bit here on defending the Kingdom, we give the official

466
00:22:42,040 –> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs Kingdom Welcome to one of the more explosive receivers

467
00:22:45,440 –> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: in the National Football League over the past four years,

468
00:22:47,720 –> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: Marquez Valdez Scantling and MVS. Welcome. This is your first

00:22:52,119 –> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: official welcome really to the Chiefs Kingdom. Welcome, my friend,

470
00:22:55,600 –> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: thanks up for having me. It’s awesome to have you here.

471
00:22:59,600 –> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: This is where you were in twenty nineteen on my

472
00:23:01,560 –> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: boards getting ready to play the Packers. And here’s where

473
00:23:04,359 –> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: you were last year on my boards getting ready to play.

474
00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: And on these it’s like best yards per reception in

475
00:23:11,520 –> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: the National Football League. You had five to forty yard

476
00:23:14,160 –> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: catchers before we played your nineteen Just about what would

477
00:23:17,760 –> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: you tell in the Kingdom? Hey, this is what I’m

478
00:23:19,400 –> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: bringing to the table for this team and for this offense.

479
00:23:22,880 –> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: I bring a lot to the table into this offense,

480
00:23:25,040 –> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: you know. Obviously that’s just one of the things that

481
00:23:26,520 –> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: I can do. Obviously, when with those sides, I was

482
00:23:30,119 –> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: top of the league. So that’s why I gets talked

483
00:23:31,640 –> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: about the most. But I did a lot of other

484
00:23:33,000 –> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: things too, So you get a true competitor, and I’m

485
00:23:36,400 –> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: excited for the opportunity in this offense, much like you

486
00:23:40,240 –> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: had in Green Bay. You’re asked to do a lot

487
00:23:42,320 –> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: of things at where you play. What would you say

488
00:23:45,520 –> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: about folks they say, Wow, he’s a great run in

489
00:23:47,520 –> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: nine routes. I mean the sky blow right by you

490
00:23:49,440 –> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: twenty plus miles per hour. What have you learned in

491
00:23:52,320 –> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: this league about route running and being able to adjust? Yeah? Obviously,

492
00:23:58,320 –> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: you know, obviously I ran a four three and to

493
00:24:00,160 –> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: combine that puts a lot of fear and a lot

494
00:24:02,800 –> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 1: of guy’s hearts. So you know, get too many guys

495
00:24:05,560 –> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: up in your face trying to press you, and they

496
00:24:07,160 –> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: know that you can run by him at any time.

497
00:24:09,240 –> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: So obviously you got to learn how to be guys

498
00:24:11,200 –> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: in different ways. And I had a great teacher and

499
00:24:13,840 –> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: Devin Adams, you know, throughout my four years. And you know,

500
00:24:18,359 –> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: I think that connects a better guy to kind of

501
00:24:20,880 –> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: show me out to be a pro. You played with

502
00:24:23,800 –> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Aaron the first four years. Now you get to play

503
00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: with Patrick. The play after the play I’ve told us

504
00:24:29,680 –> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: going back and preparing when we played you guys, and

505
00:24:32,160 –> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 1: now to have you on our team, there’s the play call,

506
00:24:34,840 –> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: you’ve got your route and with those two guys, then

507
00:24:37,640 –> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: there’s the play after the play. What have you learned

508
00:24:39,800 –> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: about adjusting, adjusting to the quarterback and sometimes hey we

509
00:24:44,040 –> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: got to go off scripture? Yeah, absolutely, playing with twelve,

510
00:24:47,560 –> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: he’s the best at it. Um, you know he’s great

511
00:24:52,040 –> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: at improvising and at a lot of screment same something

512
00:24:54,880 –> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: it doesn’t like and get into a whole separate play

513
00:24:57,200 –> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: you know. And you know we had to learn it’s

514
00:25:00,160 –> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: the playbook. You have to learn aaran’s playbook. And there

515
00:25:02,280 –> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: are two temper of playbooks. And so obviously with a

516
00:25:05,720 –> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: guy like that, who’s that intelligent and seeing it all

517
00:25:08,600 –> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: for seventeen years, eighteen years, whatever the number is, he’s

518
00:25:12,840 –> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 1: able to get guys into great with us to be successful.

519
00:25:16,280 –> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: And so obviously I’ve seen a younger version of that

520
00:25:18,920 –> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: and Pat and I’m excited for the opportunity to you know,

521
00:25:22,440 –> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: go and play with the same level of talented guy,

522
00:25:25,640 –> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: um and see what he can bring to the table.

523
00:25:28,960 –> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: And how much if you’ve seen watching him from afar

524
00:25:31,520 –> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 1: is there’s Coach’s playbook and then there’s Patrick’s playbook. Yeah, obviously, Um,

525
00:25:36,920 –> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: every every week I’m looking at the exposed to plays

526
00:25:39,880 –> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: around the league and you see the Chiefs pop up,

527
00:25:42,359 –> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: you know, week out, so obviously doing something right over

528
00:25:44,920 –> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: here and see him get out there and you know,

529
00:25:48,560 –> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: make all kind of throws and change stuff by the line,

530
00:25:51,119 –> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: and you can get guys into great positions. You know,

531
00:25:53,320 –> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: he’s he’s one of the best. What was going through

532
00:25:57,040 –> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: your mind, body and soul when there’s a discussion with

533
00:25:59,480 –> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: your people, thinking where’s my next stop here? And you

534
00:26:03,119 –> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: were thinking, wow, this Chiefs thing could be real. What

535
00:26:05,880 –> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: was going through your thoughts processing? I mean, well, the

536
00:26:10,160 –> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs weren’t even a thought in my head early in

537
00:26:13,640 –> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: the free agency process. Obviously they had a bunch of

538
00:26:16,920 –> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: guys that they were, you know, set on. They had

539
00:26:20,320 –> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: reached out to my agent, you know, saying that day

540
00:26:22,240 –> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: they had some interest. They didn’t know, you know, how

541
00:26:25,040 –> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: interested I would be in the situation obviously, coming from

542
00:26:28,800 –> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: Green Bay, you know, and having the opportunity to go

543
00:26:31,280 –> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: back and be hearing Rogers number one target. They didn’t

544
00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: know how interesting that would be in that conversation. But

545
00:26:37,600 –> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: then they made the tray and say, hey, you know,

546
00:26:40,560 –> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: we’re still circling back to see if you have any

547
00:26:42,720 –> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: interest in coming out here. I said, you know, I’ll

548
00:26:44,640 –> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: listen to what you gotta have to say and get

549
00:26:46,520 –> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: on the plane and see what happens and coming home

550
00:26:49,600 –> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: as a chief. So it all worked up. How much

551
00:26:52,320 –> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: a part of the deal was you get to wear

552
00:26:54,040 –> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: eleven again, which is what you were at ucf US

553
00:26:57,680 –> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: or USL my bad, bad, bad baby. It was definitely

554
00:27:02,440 –> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: a major factor into it. You know, eleven was going

555
00:27:05,320 –> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: to be the number I picked wherever I went next.

556
00:27:07,680 –> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: That wasn’t up for debate. They didn’t have it open

557
00:27:10,400 –> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: when I was drafted to Green Bay, which is the

558
00:27:12,320 –> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: only reason why I didn’t wear it. Almost changed it

559
00:27:14,520 –> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: going into my thirty year, but as I want to

560
00:27:16,800 –> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: have to feel bad for all the fans I had,

561
00:27:18,920 –> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, got my jersey and I switched my number,

562
00:27:21,240 –> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: so I said I wouldn’t change my number. Less I

563
00:27:22,720 –> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: where anywhere else and somewhere else and I’m back in

564
00:27:25,320 –> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: back in eleven. Well, there’ll be people in the Kingdom

565
00:27:28,160 –> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: behind eleven jerseys now with the NVA that’s on there.

566
00:27:31,000 –> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: So it was eight plus three eleven. Is that what

567
00:27:33,240 –> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: you did with the packers? Yeah? Almost Yeah, A good

568
00:27:37,040 –> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: way to put it. Well, you could wear it now

569
00:27:39,800 –> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: the double ones. That’s that’s great. Um. And speaking of that,

570
00:27:45,000 –> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: you’ve got an awesome clothing line. Man, you’re just going

00:29:54,800 –> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: entire life he’s our actions for anything, you know, to

613
00:29:57,880 –> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: come in and raised me the way he did poor

614
00:30:00,280 –> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: me to what you did. I’m forever grateful for him.

615
00:30:03,520 –> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 1: I was excited your mom and dad about you being

616
00:30:05,280 –> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: a chief. They were very excited. My mom was a

617
00:30:07,280 –> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: little more excited than my dad was excited, to be honest.

618
00:30:11,800 –> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: Only a few times and she was super excited. Um,

619
00:30:15,440 –> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: so I’m just I’m happy that it made them happy. Okay,

620
00:30:19,680 –> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: we’ll close it out this way. You’ve played twice. I

621
00:30:22,400 –> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: showed you the boards, but both of those times you

622
00:30:24,760 –> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: played at Arrowhead Stadium. And I’ve been to Lambo so

623
00:30:26,920 –> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: many times. It’s a special place. But now Arrowhead as

624
00:30:30,080 –> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: your home? What does that mean to you? And knowing

625
00:30:33,800 –> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: it’s rare that an NFC guy would play in this

626
00:30:36,640 –> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: AFC stadium twice in a span of nineteen in twenty one,

627
00:30:41,720 –> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: twice in three years, what did you learn about Arrowhead

628
00:30:44,840 –> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: And how much does it fire up you think I’m

629
00:30:46,480 –> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: gonna this is my new place? Well for starters, I

630
00:30:49,960 –> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: love the love the grass. Definitely one of the better

631
00:30:53,680 –> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: grasses in the NFL, believe it or not. I played

632
00:30:55,720 –> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: in a lot of football stadiums and I love I

633
00:30:58,160 –> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: love the grass, and that’s a huge fact into it. Um,

634
00:31:01,200 –> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: you know the Saints. I was a little afraid because

635
00:31:02,920 –> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: it is Harry not gonna lie, But I love the grass.

636
00:31:06,200 –> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: And then that stadium gets loud. I obviously got on

637
00:31:09,200 –> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: the other the other side of it, you know, and

638
00:31:11,960 –> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: uh that that thing gets loud, and I’m super excited

639
00:31:16,640 –> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: just to be a part of that. It’s going a

640
00:31:19,320 –> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: lot of touchdowns in there, and you know, the more

641
00:31:21,640 –> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: lambo leaps. But we’ll definitely get some some figured out

642
00:31:24,880 –> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 1: to celebrate. Oh yeah, they’ll wait for your new kingdom. Man,

643
00:31:28,000 –> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: They’ll they’ll do it some way. It’s incredible to have

644
00:31:31,080 –> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: you here. It’s awesome to have you here. And the

645
00:31:33,360 –> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: best news for everyone is you’re back in eleven. Man,

646
00:31:36,640 –> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: turn it loose. Yes there, all right, congrats brother, and

647
00:31:40,160 –> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: we’ll see you soon. Man. Welcome to the kingdom again.

648
00:31:42,480 –> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: Thank you. I appreciate it. So interesting sometimes the number thing,

649
00:31:47,440 –> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: it’s a big deal that he’s gonna wear eleven. Yeah,

650
00:31:50,000 –> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: like that’s one of the big reasons I came to

651
00:31:51,480 –> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City. It’s like what that in the field. He

652
00:31:54,040 –> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: loves the field, he loved playing on the Bermuda Rye

653
00:31:56,880 –> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: grass mix at gha field at stadium. It’s if you

654
00:32:00,200 –> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: would never think about I mean, we’re not NFL athletes,

655
00:32:02,840 –> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: we don’t think about these things. But yeah, the number

656
00:32:05,080 –> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: is very important with some of these guys. It’s very

657
00:32:06,880 –> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: important to MVS and the grass. I mean, it’s just

658
00:32:09,800 –> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: so interesting that he goes out there and he realizes,

659
00:32:13,000 –> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: I like this grass. And he was talking about because

660
00:32:14,920 –> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans was another city he was considering going to

661
00:32:18,240 –> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: and he didn’t want to play on the turf in

662
00:32:19,800 –> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: New Orleans, and he was comparing that to what the

663
00:32:22,000 –> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: grass is like here, and pretty cool. I had never

664
00:32:25,000 –> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: thought about it before, but I guess that’s an advantage

665
00:32:27,360 –> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: trying to recruit free agents. Is our grass, thanks for

666
00:32:29,440 –> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: Travis Hogan and all our people that work on that

667
00:32:31,560 –> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: field all year long. But it’s an advantage. And if

668
00:32:35,080 –> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: Mark Quisveldo’s scanting blows up here, as we all hope

669
00:32:38,240 –> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: he does, it just might be the playing surface at

670
00:32:41,320 –> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: GHA field at Earlhead Stadium. All Right, to close out here,

671
00:32:44,040 –> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: the third part of our podcast Defending the King and

672
00:32:47,040 –> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: podcast is new Windows. The new window that’s open. People

673
00:32:51,080 –> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: want to think that was kind of the Siciliano interview

674
00:32:53,560 –> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: a little bit alluding well, the Chief’s windows closed. Goodbye.

675
00:32:56,760 –> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: See now you guys are done. Who woa, whoa whoa

676
00:32:59,400 –> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: whoa whoa? Because I answered, I said I’m gonna answer

677
00:33:01,880 –> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: question with the questions the quarterbacks, still here? Is the

678
00:33:04,400 –> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: head coach still here? This head coach has won nineteen

679
00:33:07,200 –> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: playoff games. The other three AFC West coaches, I respect

680
00:33:10,160 –> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: them all. Remember Nate Hackett when he was a ball boy,

681
00:33:12,920 –> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: tells you how old I am for the Chiefs. He

682
00:33:15,240 –> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: was a ball boy for the Chiefs. But the combined

683
00:33:17,440 –> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: total wins of the all three of those coaches in

684
00:33:19,560 –> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: the division twenty wins total in their lives. Coach Reid

685
00:33:24,760 –> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: has nineteen in the playoffs. We all know he’s top

686
00:33:27,760 –> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: five in the NFL in the history. He’s not going anywhere,

687
00:33:30,000 –> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 1: and he’s still got it, and he’s that engine is

688
00:33:32,240 –> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: per and faster than it’s ever you know, hum before

689
00:33:35,920 –> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: he’s unfull throttle. But now the Chiefs, because of Brett

690
00:33:39,400 –> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: Veach and his moves, have opened up an opportunity. Let’s

691
00:33:42,320 –> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: start with the cap. Room that this thing flunctuates, depend

692
00:33:45,680 –> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: on the signings. But when the time that we put

693
00:33:48,280 –> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: this podcast together, the Chiefs were somewhere in the range

694
00:33:50,640 –> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: of twenty three million under the cap. Under the cap,

695
00:33:54,480 –> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: and remember it wasn’t that long ago. Everybody’s freaking out,

696
00:33:56,600 –> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: like how they’re gonna get under the cap like you

697
00:33:58,480 –> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: know the world’s going to blow up. Yeah, it’s funny,

698
00:34:00,680 –> 00:34:02,239
Speaker 1: And I was sure by the time this gets out there,

699
00:34:02,240 –> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: we’ll have already made several more moves and this will

700
00:34:04,120 –> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: be instantly outdated. But you know, that’s the interesting thing

701
00:34:07,160 –> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: about the Tyree Hill trade. And the thing with you

702
00:34:09,800 –> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: and I is you and I are Chiefs fans first

703
00:34:12,480 –> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: and foremost. We grew up Chiefs fans, and we get

704
00:34:14,760 –> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: to work here every day. But we love this team

705
00:34:17,200 –> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: as fans just as we do as employees. And when

706
00:34:20,239 –> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: we find out Tyreek Hills being traded, of course, at

707
00:34:22,680 –> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: first it’s hard because we love Tyreek Hill both as

708
00:34:25,120 –> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: a player and a person. I took around that. I

709
00:34:27,480 –> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: think I went through all five stages of grief in

710
00:34:29,400 –> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: one day. But of course you end up at acceptance

711
00:34:31,760 –> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: and you start thinking about it and you think about

712
00:34:34,000 –> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: how we have a generational talent and Patrick Mahomes at quarterback,

713
00:34:37,680 –> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: we have a future Hall of Fame head coach and

714
00:34:40,320 –> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. We have things in here, ingredients in this

715
00:34:43,320 –> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 1: recipe that most teams do not have. So how do

716
00:34:45,760 –> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: you surround him with talent for years to come? So

717
00:34:48,680 –> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 1: you are competing for championships every single year. That’s a

718
00:34:51,800 –> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: difficult thing to do in the era of the salary cap.

719
00:34:54,040 –> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 1: That’s why most teams aren’t able to do it. But

720
00:34:57,040 –> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I credit Brett Veach for thinking through this and seeing

721
00:35:00,040 –> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be what the Chiefs are having. This

722
00:35:03,320 –> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: great culture that we have in a great quarterback and

723
00:35:05,239 –> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: a great head coach and great pieces on this roster,

724
00:35:07,480 –> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Fame tight end as one of

725
00:35:09,760 –> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: those pieces in finding a way to have at one

726
00:35:12,520 –> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 1: point the most cap space in the NFL and the

727
00:35:15,000 –> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: most draft picks in the NFL. And it’s hard to

728
00:35:17,719 –> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: see Tyreek Hill go. But I think this is a

729
00:35:20,280 –> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: situation where it works out well for all parties. It

730
00:35:22,560 –> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: works out for Tyreek in Miami, and it works out

731
00:35:24,600 –> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs here where they can extend their window

732
00:35:27,160 –> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: from being maybe two or three more years with this

733
00:35:29,160 –> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: current band of players and then you reset or you

734
00:35:31,840 –> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: get ahead of it. You still have a lot of

735
00:35:33,640 –> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: great players here and you have a chance to replenish

736
00:35:36,080 –> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: through free agency and the draft and to open up

737
00:35:39,000 –> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: this window for maybe ten years and seven years from now,

738
00:35:42,360 –> 00:35:44,239
Speaker 1: we’re looking back at this and saying, wow, that was

739
00:35:44,280 –> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: a watershed moment where we got so and so and

740
00:35:46,360 –> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: so and so and the draft and really set us

741
00:35:48,040 –> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: up for success moving forward. So a weird week in

742
00:35:51,160 –> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 1: Chief’s kingdom. But I think it’s a real opportunity here

743
00:35:53,480 –> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: to really, as you said, extend this window for a

744
00:35:55,880 –> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 1: long time and in some ways a luxury, but in

745
00:35:59,320 –> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: many other ways is a necessity. That’s that second lap

746
00:36:02,080 –> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: of Patrick’s career. But and I didn’t say this on

747
00:36:05,320 –> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 1: the interview with Andrew, was how many times do you

748
00:36:08,880 –> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: see an NFL team that has won six straight division titles,

749
00:36:12,840 –> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: been to the AFC Championship Game four straight years, won

750
00:36:15,600 –> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, finished runner up in another one that

751
00:36:18,800 –> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: is going into the fifth year after that four or

752
00:36:22,080 –> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: six year run. The next year with cap room and

753
00:36:25,440 –> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: picks will close this way. You mentioned the draft and

754
00:36:28,360 –> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 1: touched on it and are defending the kingdoms as we

755
00:36:30,360 –> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: get closer to the draft, will focus more than the

756
00:36:32,520 –> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two NFL Draft. But the Chiefs now have

757
00:36:35,800 –> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: how many times you see a team that’s been that successful.

758
00:36:38,440 –> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 1: If the Chiefs don’t have control over the twenty twenty

759
00:36:41,160 –> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 1: two draft, they’re going to have a lot to say

760
00:36:43,480 –> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: with what happens with six picks in the first one

761
00:36:46,040 –> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: hundred and three and two first, two seconds, two thirds

762
00:36:48,960 –> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: and two fours. What it gives a Tabrett Veachan in

763
00:36:53,320 –> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: the crew is collateral. Those picks move up or down.

764
00:36:58,600 –> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: But now you have collateral cap room. And what the

765
00:37:01,200 –> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs have shown when they’ve had collateral and cap room,

766
00:37:05,640 –> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: they’re very dangerous in building. That’s the new window that

767
00:37:08,920 –> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: you’re putting in this spring for the Chiefs Kingdom. There’s

768
00:37:11,800 –> 00:37:14,919
Speaker 1: no window closing. You’re just starting a new window. Yeah,

769
00:37:14,960 –> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: and eight picks in the top one thirty five, I mean,

770
00:37:17,200 –> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: so many high draft picks. The Chiefs have to hit

771
00:37:20,360 –> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: on these picks, but you’re right, they have currency to

772
00:37:22,400 –> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: move around if they need to. And you know I

773
00:37:25,120 –> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier about how when you have a Justin Herbert

774
00:37:27,960 –> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: still on their rookie deal, eventually you have to pay

775
00:37:30,239 –> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: that player. Right, if the Chiefs can hit on some

776
00:37:32,719 –> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: of the players in this draft, some of these guys

777
00:37:35,080 –> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: that they’re picking in the top one hundred, all of

778
00:37:37,200 –> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: a sudden, the Chiefs have young, controllable players around their

779
00:37:40,160 –> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: star quarterback who’s already paid. Meanwhile, these other teams in

780
00:37:43,520 –> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 1: the AFC that right now, yes are loading up. They’re

781
00:37:46,520 –> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: hitting a situation where they have to pay their quarterback,

782
00:37:48,960 –> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: they have to pay all their stars, and that’s where

783
00:37:51,640 –> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: this thing could really take off for the Chiefs. So

784
00:37:53,760 –> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are going to be competitive of

785
00:37:55,320 –> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: course this season and this season after that, but keep

786
00:37:57,840 –> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: that in mind here that this draft could be a

787
00:37:59,800 –> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 1: real big moment for the Chiefs affecting these other AFC

788
00:38:02,840 –> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: teams when they have to start paying their quarterback generational money.

789
00:38:06,480 –> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 1: You’re gonna see it here in the next couple of years.

790
00:38:08,600 –> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: This draft is a big deal. It’s a big deal

791
00:38:10,640 –> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs, and they bet on themselves, They bet

792
00:38:13,840 –> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: on their quarterback, on their head coach rightfully, So I

793
00:38:16,239 –> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 1: think that they can hit in this draft and find

794
00:38:18,440 –> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: some really good players that are gonna hopefully bring the

795
00:38:21,000 –> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: city more championships for years to come. Hall of Fame, coach,

796
00:38:23,640 –> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, quarterback cap room, and picks. That should

797
00:38:27,280 –> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: be a warning to the rest of the division, the

798
00:38:31,160 –> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: rest of the AFC, and the rest of the NFL

799
00:38:32,880 –> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs Kingdom isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. So
