Speaker 1: at Saturday’s game against the Bears quickly, your reaction from

37
00:02:02,080 –> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: my two esteem colleagues. Then we’re going to talk about

38
00:02:05,120 –> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: these three days that just happened here in Saint Joe

39
00:02:07,560 –> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: and why they’re more significant than you think. Three will

40
00:02:10,440 –> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: set you up for the Commander’s game on Saturday afternoon

41
00:02:13,120 –> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: at gha Field at Arrowheads Stadium. And then finally, how

42
00:02:15,840 –> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: camp pivots Camp doesn’t end with the team leaving Saint Joe,

43
00:02:19,240 –> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 1: It just pivots back to Kansas City. So let’s start

44
00:02:22,880 –> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: around the world first of all. And we did have

45
00:02:24,840 –> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: people here today from practice from Australia. Super cool, right

46
00:02:30,080 –> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: from Sydney, Australia, if I understand it correctly. One of

47
00:02:33,840 –> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: them is from this area, from Kansas City, or was

48
00:02:36,440 –> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: it Saint Joe from the Kingdom area and they moved

49
00:02:39,120 –> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: to Australia, met his wife there and now he’s raising

50
00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: kids in Australia but raising them as Chiefs fans. And

51
00:02:44,160 –> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: they came to a practice here today. They’ll be at

52
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: the game on Saturday. So it’s super cool. That was awesome.

53
00:02:48,520 –> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: And we know Australia’s the Kingdom now too, so yeah,

54
00:02:51,000 –> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: it’s everywhere. I also have lots of people from around

60
00:03:11,960 –> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: Pam right here in Saint Joe, Carlos and Las Vegas,

61
00:03:16,200 –> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: Charles in Creighton, Missouri, Philip and Tonga Knoxie. He says,

62
00:03:20,880 –> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: it’s not the end of the world, but you can

63
00:03:22,200 –> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: see it from there. Chief. Yeah. We’ve got Dennis in Switzerland,

64
00:03:27,639 –> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Dylan in Plainville, Kansas, Cardinals. He said that you were

65
00:03:32,320 –> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: a motivational speaker for his class in nineteen ninety nine.

66
00:03:36,520 –> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: That’s that’s not good. Yeah, I’m sure his life is

67
00:03:38,800 –> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: just disintegrated after all. I mean, he listens to the DTK,

68
00:03:41,320 –> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: so apparently you did something right. We’ve got Malcolm and

69
00:03:43,920 –> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: Lee’s summit. Uh. Tonica is listening in San Antonio. Dennis

70
00:03:48,560 –> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: is representing the Kingdom as a member of the thirty

71
00:03:50,600 –> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: fifth Infantry Division in Southwest Asia. Pretty cool. That’s awesome. Um,

72
00:03:55,440 –> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: Tom and old Forge of Pennsylvania been a fan for

73
00:03:57,760 –> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: more than forty years. Chris just moved to Poland and

74
00:04:00,920 –> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: setting up Chief’s Kingdom Poland. So good news there, Chris,

75
00:04:04,640 –> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: keep doing that. We’ve got Carl and Carlisle, Pennsylvania. But

76
00:04:08,320 –> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: he’s originally from Lawson Missouri, Perry in the Philippines. We

77
00:04:11,880 –> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: have lots of listeners in the Philippines. I’ve noticed that

78
00:04:13,960 –> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: the Chief’s Kingdom is just all over, Yeah, the islands

79
00:04:16,480 –> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: of the Philippines. It’s impressive stuff. Rasta and Taylor are

80
00:04:20,120 –> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach, but they’re originally from Lebanon, Missouri. And

81
00:04:23,240 –> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: then lastly below Jackets, there you go. Lastly, we’ve got

82
00:04:26,360 –> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: Michelle in central Florida. She declared it Arrowhead South Orlando.

83
00:04:30,400 –> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: Why good? Pretty cool? And so earlier in camp just

84
00:04:33,320 –> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: to remind you, we also had a family here from

85
00:04:35,320 –> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: azur Berjean. We’re not making it up. Chief’s Kingdom is worldwide. Well,

86
00:04:40,240 –> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: let’s jump in now to our reaction. Let’s look back

87
00:04:43,440 –> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: quickly at the Chicago game last Saturday, Chiefs lose at

88
00:04:46,800 –> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen, two completely different games. The Chiefs were dominating

89
00:04:50,760 –> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: the first half. But I did love shop the way

90
00:04:53,480 –> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the first half of the ones and

91
00:04:55,400 –> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: some twos either dominated or dictated almost every snap with

92
00:05:00,760 –> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: a few exceptions in that first half against the Bears

93
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: and justin fields, Well, what you did is you saw

94
00:05:05,320 –> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs playing very sharp and fast and quick, getting

95
00:05:08,440 –> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: the line getting asigned, not many mistackles, not many false

96
00:05:12,720 –> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: starts in any of those penalties before and after the snapped.

97
00:05:16,360 –> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: It kind of make you feel bad about the product

98
00:05:19,360 –> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 1: on the field. The offense was so so efficient getting

99
00:05:22,600 –> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: down the field, scoring the first drive, and then able

100
00:05:25,800 –> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: to put up another score before halftime, to go in

101
00:05:28,320 –> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: up two scores. Is what you believe the team to be.

102
00:05:33,600 –> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: A team that’s reckoned, prepared for the playoffs, prepared for

103
00:05:36,839 –> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: this season. Not many changes making from a coaching staff

104
00:05:39,920 –> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: in the philosophy, so this train was already rolling. We had,

105
00:05:42,720 –> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: we had some young players, some rookies just jump on

106
00:05:45,400 –> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: on the train. But we didn’t miss a beat. We

107
00:05:47,680 –> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: didn’t again, just so sharp with the alignment. Assignment. That’s

108
00:05:51,440 –> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: the one thing when I was looking at the game,

109
00:05:53,520 –> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: I was looking at the communication on the back end.

110
00:05:55,600 –> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: How well was the guys on the back end where

111
00:05:57,000 –> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: they’re on the same page, where they seeing things the

112
00:05:58,680 –> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: same way? And then offense league was the receiver seeing

113
00:06:02,080 –> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: things through coach Andy Reids and the enemy’s eyes, but

114
00:06:05,320 –> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: also through Pat’s eyes where the receivers where they’re supposed

115
00:06:07,960 –> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: to be, or was Pat having to Patrick actually having

116
00:06:11,560 –> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: to hold it an extra account too, and I didn’t

117
00:06:14,000 –> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: see any of that. I saw a very efficient offense

118
00:06:16,279 –> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: and our defense got the job done. Obviously, big plays

119
00:06:18,600 –> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: by the rookie defenseman going in letting his motor just

120
00:06:22,360 –> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: continue to work to get that sack, and then Chris

121
00:06:24,520 –> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: Jones coming up very big to play a play stopping

122
00:06:28,480 –> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: sack to end the drive. So I saw everything I

123
00:06:31,560 –> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: needed to see on defense and offense. Special teams, we

124
00:06:34,279 –> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: saw a couple of wrinkles. I don’t know how many

125
00:06:36,160 –> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: of those who want to let out the bag so

126
00:06:37,560 –> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: early in the preseason, but we know we got an

127
00:06:39,960 –> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: emergency kicker if we need it. He probably can punt

128
00:06:42,160 –> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: the ball too if necessary. But we just got a

129
00:06:44,560 –> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: team full of really well, well rounded athletes, and I

130
00:06:47,880 –> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: think we saw that in the Chicago Bears game, and

131
00:06:50,120 –> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: we’re hoping to see a repeat of that, I think

132
00:06:52,240 –> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: preparing for the Commandos. Yeah, and we’re we’re also sharing

133
00:06:56,000 –> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: a team that could have your heart by November first,

134
00:06:58,520 –> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: because this is a defense. It looks like they traded

135
00:07:01,000 –> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: in steel toe boots for roller blades. They’re just so

136
00:07:04,640 –> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: much faster what we’ve seen on the field translated to Chicago.

137
00:07:07,760 –> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: Were your thoughts mat Yeah. I mean it’s tough with

138
00:07:10,440 –> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 1: preseason games, especially the first one because there’s no game planning.

139
00:07:13,840 –> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: But the defense in the first half really couldn’t have

140
00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: looked any better. I don’t think if you look at

141
00:07:17,920 –> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: the numbers. I mean the Bears punted on their first

142
00:07:20,000 –> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: five possessions, including two three and outs, and the first

143
00:07:23,120 –> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: half the Bears ran twenty seven total plays, nineteen of

144
00:07:26,480 –> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: them gained less than five yards, and eleven of those

145
00:07:29,200 –> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: plays gained either zero or negative yards. So that’s exciting.

146
00:07:33,160 –> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: Just a total of one hundred and twenty three yards

147
00:07:35,080 –> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: gained for the Bears in that first half. That included

148
00:07:37,720 –> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: three possessions for Justin Fields. Just seventy eight yards allowed

149
00:07:41,760 –> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields’s offense by this Chief’s defense. So exciting stuff.

150
00:07:45,440 –> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: I think some standouts for me you mentioned George Carloftis

151
00:07:48,480 –> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: really impressed the performance by him. He had four pressures

152
00:07:52,320 –> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: in a sack, showed a lot of bend around the edge,

153
00:07:55,120 –> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: the athleticism that we were hoping to see from him.

154
00:07:57,440 –> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: So George Carloftis, I think, is the major takeaway from that.

155
00:08:00,440 –> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: But Torshaun Wharton had a sneaky good game. He had

156
00:08:03,440 –> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: three pressures on just twelve pass rush snaps, so very

157
00:08:05,880 –> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: efficient Leo Chanelle, seven tackles, no misses. That’s what we

158
00:08:09,840 –> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: were hoping to see out of him. That’s the kind

159
00:08:11,440 –> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: of player he is, and we certainly saw that. And

160
00:08:13,680 –> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: Chris Jones, we’ve talked about the intensity and the energy

161
00:08:17,120 –> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: that he’s shown throughout this camp and we’re like, let’s

162
00:08:19,800 –> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: see if it carries over to the game. I think

163
00:08:21,720 –> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: it did. On the third snap for the Bears, Chris

164
00:08:24,600 –> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: Jones comes blasting through the line and sacks just in fields.

165
00:08:27,880 –> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: I’m loving what I’m seeing from Chris. A little injury

166
00:08:30,800 –> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: here today, he has a back and left practice a

167
00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: little bit early with a sore back. But hopefully Chris

168
00:08:35,280 –> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: is okay. But very exciting to see what he did

169
00:08:37,640 –> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: against the Bears. You know, I love to subtle. As

170
00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: I watched the video, he puts fields in the trash

171
00:08:42,600 –> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: compactor and then just runs off the field like this

172
00:08:45,160 –> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: is what I’m supposed to do. It was awesome to

173
00:08:47,160 –> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: see that little subtle thing. And I’ll just tag this.

174
00:08:49,520 –> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: As we moved to the second item, the tough catches,

175
00:08:52,760 –> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: we all ooh, and all of the forty yard touchdown

176
00:08:55,520 –> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: there were eight tough catches in this game, either quick slants,

177
00:08:58,880 –> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: in cuts or drag your toe, and Justin Watson had

178
00:09:03,040 –> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: three of them, got smoked on a couple of them.

179
00:09:05,520 –> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Sky more Head two of them. Ms Mark Quiselle is

180
00:09:09,240 –> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: Scandaling had one, and Derese Fountain had two of them,

181
00:09:11,760 –> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: and five of them were for first downs. That is

182
00:09:14,400 –> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: like something I don’t care if it’s a preseason game

183
00:09:16,920 –> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 1: or it’s played in the park. If you make those catches,

184
00:09:19,480 –> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: that bodes well for the season. Now let’s go to

185
00:09:22,200 –> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: our second item, and that is the three days we

186
00:09:24,640 –> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: just witnessed here. Tomorrow is Military Appreciation Day as we

187
00:09:28,040 –> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: close out this portion of camp. Matt, I’m gonna start

188
00:09:30,720 –> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: with you. Now we’ve been I’ve been around coach now

189
00:09:33,440 –> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: for ten years, but I’ve learned what these three days mean.

190
00:09:37,880 –> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: After the first preseason game, he does not let up

191
00:09:40,280 –> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: at all. So the whole first two weeks of camp

192
00:09:43,600 –> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: we called that the ramp up period, and they had

193
00:09:45,760 –> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: seven padded practices and eleven days and it was all

194
00:09:48,640 –> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: about getting out there and playing football again, getting out

195
00:09:51,320 –> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: there in the pads, getting used to the physical contact.

196
00:09:54,240 –> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: They increased the practice duration time over that first week

197
00:09:58,000 –> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: from an hour and a half to eventually two hours

198
00:10:00,400 –> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: and twenty five minutes, and that’s what every padded practice

199
00:10:02,559 –> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: has been since then. So that’s the ramp up period.

200
00:10:05,760 –> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: I think that the time after that first game when

201
00:10:08,520 –> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: they come back here to Saint Joe is kind of

202
00:10:10,160 –> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: the hang on period, because you’ve ramped up to football activity,

203
00:10:14,480 –> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: you’ve traveled to a different city, you’ve gone and played

204
00:10:17,040 –> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: a real game. But now you come back to Saint

205
00:10:19,800 –> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: Joe and you’re doing this all again. You’re in the

206
00:10:22,280 –> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: dorms again, they’re going through the meetings, and you go

207
00:10:24,640 –> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: out there and have a padded practice and three straight

208
00:10:26,840 –> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: padded practices from Monday until today Wednesday. So that’s tough.

209
00:10:31,160 –> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: That’s tough on your body, it’s tough mentally. And who

210
00:10:34,080 –> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: is going to power through that time. Who comes out

211
00:10:37,200 –> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: here on Monday earlier this week and still impresses It’s

212
00:10:41,040 –> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: like they were two weeks ago. And that’s what the

213
00:10:42,880 –> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: coaches are trying to figure out right now. One interesting

214
00:10:45,400 –> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: thing is coach Spagnolo talked about how on Tuesday he

215
00:10:48,400 –> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: was not impressed with the defense on Monday, he didn’t

216
00:10:50,880 –> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: like how they looked. He challenged them that night to say, hey,

217
00:10:54,440 –> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: this is the time you have to impress. This is

218
00:10:56,640 –> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: the time you have to go out there and really

219
00:10:58,400 –> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: give it your all. And he said that they were

220
00:11:01,120 –> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: pretty good on Tuesday, so hopefully he continues to see

221
00:11:04,120 –> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: that over the next several days. But I think this

222
00:11:06,440 –> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: is the hang on period where yeah, you went out

223
00:11:09,280 –> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: there in Chicago, maybe you had a good game, but

224
00:11:11,080 –> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: then you have to come back here and keep doing

225
00:11:13,160 –> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: Groundhog Day where you’re coming out here in pads and impressing.

226
00:11:15,600 –> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: And that’s where we’re gonna see who’s gonna make this

227
00:11:17,840 –> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: team on the bottom end of that roster, who can

228
00:11:19,679 –> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: power through this time? Yeah, and they were. I thought

229
00:11:21,760 –> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: the defense was better than good of the pick six

230
00:11:24,040 –> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: by Justin Reid comes to mind. Big time play today

231
00:11:27,679 –> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: by Trent mcduffee, just ripping it out, clude Clyde, Everards

232
00:11:30,360 –> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: and brand in the whole defensive sideline erupts. These three days. Now,

233
00:11:34,120 –> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: you’ve helped coach in this camp before you know what

234
00:11:36,480 –> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: these three days are like. The guys seem to have

235
00:11:39,720 –> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 1: handled it. Maybe the weather gave us a break because

236
00:11:41,559 –> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: the weather was awesome these three days. But what did

237
00:11:44,120 –> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: these three days mean? Not just for now shop in

238
00:11:46,720 –> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: your opinion your experience for even down the road. Well,

239
00:11:49,360 –> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: it’s long for players, but it’s also long for coaches.

240
00:11:51,920 –> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you get the coach and you get in

241
00:11:53,480 –> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: the rhythm, and then you got to take the flight,

242
00:11:55,440 –> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: and then you get in the hotel room in the

243
00:11:57,120 –> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: comforts of its real stadium. And now, like you say,

244
00:11:59,559 –> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: you come back to the small dorms and the meeting

245
00:12:02,160 –> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: rooms and the you know, it’s kind of this compact

246
00:12:04,600 –> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: area that’s not what you’re accustomed to as an NFL coach,

247
00:12:07,960 –> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: So you got to refocus yourself also, and as a coach,

248
00:12:10,679 –> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: you don’t want to get into that lull of thinking,

249
00:12:12,720 –> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: I’ve got it all worked out. We know who’s the ones,

250
00:12:14,559 –> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: who’s the twos, who’s the threes, we know the guys

251
00:12:16,559 –> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: that might be on the cut line. So let’s just

252
00:12:18,679 –> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: keep sad. As quote, you’re always pushing guys to go

253
00:12:21,679 –> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: from good to being great, and that even in the

254
00:12:23,960 –> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: dog days, even once you come back from the Bearers game,

255
00:12:26,559 –> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: I want to see who can take a day off,

256
00:12:28,880 –> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: come back on Monday, tuned in, focused, ready to go

257
00:12:32,480 –> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: attack the day and get something out of each and

258
00:12:35,280 –> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 1: every day. You only have so many opportunities to get

259
00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: better before the season starts. Each moment, each there’s a

260
00:12:40,800 –> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: there’s a point of emphasis each practice, Each individual player

261
00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: has talked to a position coach what is your what

262
00:12:47,280 –> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: is your focus today? How are you going to get

263
00:12:49,000 –> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: better individually? And how you’re gonna help us be a

264
00:12:51,520 –> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 1: better team collectively to help us win on game day.

265
00:12:54,520 –> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: That has to be a challenge. You worked in the

266
00:12:56,280 –> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: mirror each and every morning before you start these dog

267
00:12:58,920 –> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: days of camp, and whoever can get it done, especially

268
00:13:01,400 –> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: in this atmosphere right now, Like you said, after hitting

269
00:13:04,559 –> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: the other team, the opponents, dragging them to the ground,

270
00:13:09,600 –> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: you haven’t had a chance to do that all summer long.

271
00:13:12,160 –> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: You get a taste of that. Some people just us

272
00:13:14,520 –> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: half a quarter, a few plays and now it’s back

273
00:13:17,160 –> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: to playing tempo rap, take it down to the ground third,

274
00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: all the different tempos. You gotta be able to tune

275
00:13:23,679 –> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: it down. But mentally you have to still be focusing

276
00:13:26,559 –> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: and hitting on all cylinders. So that’s the challenge. That’s

277
00:13:29,559 –> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: the ups and lows, the hills and valleys that players

278
00:13:32,600 –> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: have to constantly put themselves to to create that Mamba mindset,

279
00:13:35,840 –> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: that mindset of no matter what the situation is, I’m

280
00:13:38,679 –> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: gonna give my all and everything on this field to

281
00:13:40,520 –> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: make sure my alignment, my signment, and my attitude and accountability,

282
00:13:44,360 –> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: my communication across the board is playing at an all

283
00:13:47,400 –> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: pro level no matter what the situation. And we saw

284
00:13:49,760 –> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: guys get it done here today on a very high level.

285
00:13:52,000 –> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: And one more quick thought on that shopping I were

286
00:13:54,080 –> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: watching practice and he was talking about how when he played,

287
00:13:56,960 –> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 1: how different training camp was. So this is practice. This

288
00:14:00,240 –> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: number nineteen if you include the rookie days, So what

289
00:14:03,440 –> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: only fifteen if you don’t. It’s a lot of practices.

290
00:14:07,320 –> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: But back in here day you were practicing like yeah,

291
00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 1: he walked up hills to school both ways. But the

292
00:14:16,160 –> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: point is that back then you had more time to prepare, right,

293
00:14:19,960 –> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: you’d more practice time to prepare. The way the rules

294
00:14:22,760 –> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: are now is you have to maximize every single day, truly,

295
00:14:26,160 –> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: because you already don’t have a lot of time. So

296
00:14:28,920 –> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: when you come back from Chicago and you have a

297
00:14:30,920 –> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: couple of padded practices in a row, yeah it’s tough.

298
00:14:33,280 –> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: But coach Reid is the master of this. He is

299
00:14:35,160 –> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: maximizing every single day. And I can’t say that for

300
00:14:37,640 –> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: every coach round the week. One observation before we move on.

301
00:14:40,840 –> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Sherman, recently retired fullback, came on Monday. He said,

302
00:14:45,880 –> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: why do you think I’m here today? He said, I’m

303
00:14:48,720 –> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: here today because usually this is the worst practice of camp.

304
00:14:53,160 –> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Just what we just talked about. He says, I’m going

305
00:14:55,080 –> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: to be here today to encourage him. I saw him

306
00:14:57,120 –> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: after practice. He goes, I didn’t have to say a word.

307
00:14:59,080 –> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: These guys were It’s awesome. So when the sausage speaks,

308
00:15:02,120 –> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: everybody listens. And now we’re gonna talk about the Commanders

309
00:15:05,280 –> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: game briefly for the game coming up on Saturday afternoon

310
00:15:07,800 –> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: three at gha Field at Arrowheads Stadium. But it’s practice

311
00:15:11,480 –> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: for you as well in the stadium, the rookies of

312
00:15:14,280 –> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: all cities. It really that cool? Is it really that cool?

313
00:15:16,200 –> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: Just wait, just wait, Well, that depends on you. Also,

314
00:15:19,200 –> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: it’s Red Friday time because the regular season is coming soon,

315
00:15:23,240 –> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: and that means we’re getting ready for Red Friday, the

316
00:15:26,240 –> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: one of the great traditions in the NFL. And so

317
00:15:28,720 –> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: this yearly tradition gives all of the Chiefs Kingdom a

318
00:15:30,840 –> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: chance to say, Hey, football is back. The Chiefs are back.

319
00:15:34,120 –> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: You can get this year’s limited edition flag. These are

320
00:15:37,080 –> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: collector’s items. Some of them have all of them, some fans.

321
00:15:40,240 –> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: Red Friday is now September the ninth, September the ninth

322
00:15:43,560 –> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: before we go to Arizona, and you can get these

323
00:15:46,360 –> 00:15:49,680

326
00:15:56,440 –> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: slash Red Friday to earn more. One of my favorite

327
00:15:59,560 –> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: days of the year is Red Friday. It’s September the ninth.

328
00:16:02,600 –> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: It’s not the Friday before the home opener because that

329
00:16:04,640 –> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: would be the day after the Charger game. All right,

330
00:16:07,160 –> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: because we’re playing them on a Thursday night. Let’s get

331
00:16:09,760 –> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: into the Commander game really quickly. Here and this is

332
00:16:12,080 –> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: your old team, man. These are two of your old

333
00:16:13,880 –> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: teams going at it different name, different names. But what

334
00:16:16,480 –> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: do you want to shape from the Chiefs in preseason

335
00:16:18,440 –> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: game number two, I did some growth. I want to

336
00:16:20,280 –> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: see some growth. I want to see our our dbs

337
00:16:22,240 –> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: and our secondary guys even take a step further of

338
00:16:24,840 –> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: challenging their receiving corps. Um. They have a good receiving

339
00:16:27,760 –> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: corps obviously, scary. Terry is one of the you know,

340
00:16:31,640 –> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: top ten, top fifteen receivers in the league, and I

341
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: think he’ll give our guys a good challenge. Let’s work

342
00:16:36,240 –> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: our mirror work, our footwork, workout responsibility, you know our leverage,

343
00:16:39,520 –> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: and don’t get caught outside your leverage. Um, you know,

344
00:16:42,760 –> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: being able to respond to a good start. You know,

345
00:16:46,400 –> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of three and out, it’s a bunch of

346
00:16:48,080 –> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: punts in the first half, but maybe even you know,

347
00:16:50,920 –> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn’t mind seeing some adversity, seeing how they how

348
00:16:54,200 –> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 1: they rebound against a deep ball being completed on them,

349
00:16:57,280 –> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: giving up a first dawn to mistag or something like that.

350
00:16:59,480 –> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: To see that defense kind of come back together and say,

351
00:17:01,840 –> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: all right, hey, this is where we stop them, this

352
00:17:03,480 –> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 1: is where we make our stand. I would like to see.

353
00:17:06,160 –> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: I would like to see some goal line stances. I

354
00:17:07,840 –> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: would like to see some third and longs, third and longs,

355
00:17:11,040 –> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: some thirdin shorts, maybe some unusual down and distances and

356
00:17:14,040 –> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: stuff like that. We know that the Chiefs can bring pressure,

357
00:17:17,280 –> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: we know guys can get there, we know gas can cover,

358
00:17:19,880 –> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: so maybe even down in the back and see him

359
00:17:21,560 –> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: just some basic cover two cover one, some orbits watching

360
00:17:25,359 –> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: the safety’s rock and roll. Get back to some basic

361
00:17:27,359 –> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 1: fundamental stuff, get some reps under our belt. Let’s see

362
00:17:30,359 –> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: a long thirteen play drive. I want to see our

363
00:17:32,800 –> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: guys kind of get tested a little bit before the

364
00:17:34,880 –> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: regular season starts. So I know that’s something that our

365
00:17:37,400 –> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: fans don’t want to see because that means the other

366
00:17:39,880 –> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: team is getting first downs. But there’s nothing wrong with

367
00:17:42,400 –> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: going through that right now, so you can get your

368
00:17:44,560 –> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: win and get your get accustomed to it, get acclimated

369
00:17:47,119 –> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: to those long drives because you know during the season

370
00:17:49,760 –> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: you’re gonna see some long drives. So I would like

371
00:17:52,400 –> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: to see that in preseeing game number two. So Terry McLaren,

372
00:17:55,119 –> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: we’ve talked about this years. I think he’s one of

373
00:17:56,560 –> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: the more underrated receivers in the league. They have Johan Dotson.

374
00:17:59,520 –> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: Now they picked up who is lightning fast and more

375
00:18:03,080 –> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: like a mcole hardman to receiver. All right, Matt, what

376
00:18:05,280 –> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: do you want to see in this game against the Commanders. Well,

377
00:18:07,880 –> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: a couple of things. I’d like to see the run

378
00:18:09,320 –> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: game get going a little bit, just fifty two rushing

379
00:18:11,640 –> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: yards last week. The running game is so hard to

380
00:18:13,880 –> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: work on in the off season because you’re not wearing

381
00:18:16,040 –> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 1: pads until training camp, and even then it’s difficult. You

382
00:18:19,400 –> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: only have so many practices, so it’s understandable wall why

383
00:18:22,080 –> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: it takes a little while to really get going. But

384
00:18:23,760 –> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: I’d like to see progress in the running game. We

385
00:18:25,880 –> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: have such a deep backfield, I think, and we’re trying

386
00:18:28,280 –> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: to figure out who’s going to make this team at

387
00:18:30,000 –> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: running back, so hopefully we’ll see something out of the

388
00:18:32,400 –> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: running game. I think it would be good for the

389
00:18:33,720 –> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: offensive line as well, because offensive lineman love blocking for

390
00:18:37,080 –> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: the run to go up and push somebody over, so

391
00:18:39,040 –> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: hopefully we see some of that. I’d also love to

392
00:18:41,240 –> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: see the efficiency we saw from the first team offense

393
00:18:43,920 –> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: once again. That was one of the biggest takeaways from

394
00:18:46,280 –> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 1: the game. Is Patrick Mahomes completed six passes on his

395
00:18:49,240 –> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: loan drive, each of them to a different player. Let’s

396
00:18:52,640 –> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: see Michael Burton, Mcole Hardman, Travis Kelsey, Marquez Veld’s scantling

397
00:18:56,480 –> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: as Aia Pacheco and Blake Bell all caught a pass

398
00:18:59,280 –> 00:19:01,959
Speaker 1: on that drive. Nobody caught two passes, and that’s what

399
00:19:01,960 –> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: we’re gonna see I think from this offense this season.

400
00:19:04,240 –> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: Is Patrick Mahomas spreading the ball all over the place.

401
00:19:07,040 –> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: Very exciting to see that efficiency. So hopefully we’ll see

402
00:19:09,280 –> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: some more of that here in this game. And for

403
00:19:11,440 –> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: the players, the rookies particularly that played well against the Bears.

404
00:19:15,280 –> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: So I’m thinking about Sky Moore, George carloftas and not

405
00:19:18,440 –> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: a rookie, but also a guy like Justin Watson. I’m

406
00:19:20,600 –> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: looking for them to come into this game when they’re

407
00:19:22,400 –> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: already feeling pretty good and put another good performance on

408
00:19:25,640 –> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: tape and stack those performances, because it would be really

409
00:19:28,280 –> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: easy to feel good about that Bears game then just

410
00:19:30,320 –> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: come into this game and all of a sudden, woe.

411
00:19:32,400 –> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: I didn’t have a very good game, you know, and

412
00:19:33,760 –> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: you’re not feeling as good about them. Hopefully these guys

413
00:19:36,160 –> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: can stack these games together and turn in another good outing.

414
00:19:39,320 –> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: To me, it’s offensive line depth. You got a find

415
00:19:41,560 –> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: offensive lineman that was not a great thing against Chicago,

416
00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: to be honest to defending the run. And I know

417
00:19:48,200 –> 00:19:50,479
Speaker 1: they have Antonio Gibson, but he’s losing his RB one

418
00:19:50,560 –> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: job real quick. To Brian Robertson, the rookie of Alabama,

419
00:19:53,000 –> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: so he’ll play with his hair on fire the snaps

420
00:19:54,760 –> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: that he gets and three would be special teams. Who’s

421
00:19:57,560 –> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: going to be the kick and punt returner for this team.

422
00:19:59,640 –> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: We’re sitting here on August the seventeenth, and that answer

423
00:20:02,119 –> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 1: has not been given yet, so that will be something

424
00:20:04,280 –> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: to watch. All right, Real quick, runna wrap it up camp?

425
00:20:06,680 –> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: Now pivots camp. Does it end? But it pivots. It

426
00:20:09,200 –> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: goes from Saint Joe back to Kansas City. After the

427
00:20:11,200 –> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: Commander game, this now starts to assimilate in season rhythm. Yes, okay,

428
00:20:16,160 –> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: and it’s fifteen days to get ready for Arizona. Nothing

429
00:20:18,800 –> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay preseason game, but the Cardinals start

430
00:20:22,119 –> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: to come more in focus. Here, just really quick your

431
00:20:24,040 –> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: thoughts as we close it out, I say, the one

432
00:20:25,960 –> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: thing the players got to realize is this is when

433
00:20:27,920 –> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 1: football really comes to life, being a way to, you know,

434
00:20:30,960 –> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: isolate yourself in training camp and the only thing you

435
00:20:32,960 –> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: gotta focus is football that takes up twenty four hours

436
00:20:35,440 –> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: of your day. Now you got to get back to

437
00:20:36,960 –> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: real life. Paying bills, kids in schools, take care of

438
00:20:40,080 –> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: your yards, detailing when all the things that life is

439
00:20:43,280 –> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: really about besides football, those things come back into play.

440
00:20:47,080 –> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: You’re back at your home, back in your noble neighborhood

441
00:20:50,320 –> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: trying to get a new routine that it’s going to

442
00:20:53,480 –> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: be the season routine. So how quickly do you get

443
00:20:55,680 –> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: acclimated back to that lifestyle? And then when it comes

444
00:20:58,240 –> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: to you know, hey man, we still got cut down.

445
00:21:00,280 –> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: We got to still see there’s a bottom half of

446
00:21:02,119 –> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: this roster that’s still being flipped. And I guarantee you

447
00:21:05,560 –> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: when it comes down to the fifty three we have,

448
00:21:07,920 –> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: it’s gonna be one or two players that are not

449
00:21:09,480 –> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: even on the roster right now that might sneak into

450
00:21:11,320 –> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: those distance everybody, all thirty two teams, you got players

451
00:21:15,119 –> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: are gonna be playing their butts off trying to make

452
00:21:17,560 –> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: somebody’s roster. And there’s gonna be a team that’s heavy

453
00:21:20,080 –> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: in one position that we might be a little lighting

454
00:21:22,359 –> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: that the guy that’s not even on our roster will

455
00:21:24,320 –> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: come here and make this fifty three roster based on

456
00:21:26,680 –> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: one of those last preseason games or something he does

457
00:21:29,800 –> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 1: on this really special in these last few weeks. So

458
00:21:33,240 –> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: it doesn’t stop, You don’t ever stop grinding the rosters,

459
00:21:36,160 –> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: always continuing to grow and just keep turning itself over.

460
00:21:40,200 –> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: But what I really am excited to see as the

461
00:21:42,560 –> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: season turns it’s us prepared for those AFC West opponents.

462
00:21:46,720 –> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: And you know, Andy does a great job of kind

463
00:21:48,520 –> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: of finding a way just to whittle out, to carve

464
00:21:51,320 –> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: out a small portion of practice to make sure that

465
00:21:54,560 –> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: we spend a little time on the Denver Broncos, the

466
00:21:56,960 –> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: La Raiders and the fearless LA Charges. Well, we’re gonna

467
00:22:01,000 –> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: spend us a little bit time on nails even though

468
00:22:02,600 –> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: it’s officially gonna be time to turn the clot to

469
00:22:06,080 –> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. You mentioned the roster cut down. Let’s go

470
00:22:09,320 –> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 1: over that briefly and what has happened so far and

471
00:22:11,200 –> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: what’s going to happen, because that truly is the story

472
00:22:13,800 –> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: of the next several weeks. Six guys were waived this week,

473
00:22:18,119 –> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: so offensive lineman Evan Kazarzak, wide receivers Omar Bayless, Gary

474
00:22:22,720 –> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: Jennings and Devin Gray, defensive lineman Austin Edwards, and then

475
00:22:25,960 –> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: corner Lonnie Johnson. Also added veteran defensive tackle Danny Shelton,

476
00:22:30,920 –> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: a big man and five pounds, a very big man,

477
00:22:34,040 –> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: grand elevator. Yeah, so we’ll see what he can do,

478
00:22:35,920 –> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: hopefully a run stuffer for this team. The roster is

479
00:22:38,320 –> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: now at eighty five as of this recording, it has

480
00:22:41,760 –> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: to be to eighty players by next Tuesday, so I

481
00:22:44,640 –> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: five more guys will be cut by next Tuesday after

482
00:22:48,400 –> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: the Commander’s game. So just like I said last time,

483
00:22:51,040 –> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: this Saturday, this game for a lot of guys fighting

484
00:22:53,640 –> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: for a roster spot is their super Bowl. It’s everything

485
00:22:56,040 –> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 1: to them. So be watching those guys, particularly in the

486
00:22:59,000 –> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter. After that, twenty seven guys we’ll

487
00:23:03,240 –> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: need to be cut by August thirtieth to get from

488
00:23:06,160 –> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: eighty down to fifty three. It’s a brutal day in

489
00:23:09,640 –> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, like a thousand guys are all of a

490
00:23:12,119 –> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: sudden cut. But like you said, we could end up

491
00:23:14,600 –> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: with some of those guys from other teams. We’ll see

492
00:23:16,280 –> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 1: how it works out. But this is the time of

493
00:23:18,480 –> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: year when that bottom of the roster guys are fighting

494
00:23:21,359 –> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: to hang on either on this team or to impress

495
00:23:23,640 –> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: another team. But be following along for these roster updates

496
00:23:26,800 –> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: and we’ll see what kind of team we have by

497
00:23:28,560 –> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: the time we go to Arizona. But there’s still some

498
00:23:30,240 –> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: battles to be figured out. Really, nothing is set in stone,

499
00:23:33,320 –> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: with the exception of Patrick Mahomes as our quarterback. But

500
00:23:35,640 –> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: other than that there’s battles at the bottom end of

501
00:23:38,880 –> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: every position on this team right now, and that’s what

502
00:23:41,160 –> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: you want. The competition in this camp has been awesome,

503
00:23:43,359 –> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: The depth has been very exciting, and this game against

504
00:23:46,080 –> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: the Commanders is a great opportunity for that death to

505
00:23:48,240 –> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: really rise and show who’s gonna make this team come September.

506
00:23:51,600 –> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: I’m thinking Kelsey’s got a pretty good chance to make

507
00:23:53,640 –> 00:23:55,959
Speaker 1: the team. Just me. I mentioned that the other day.

508
00:23:56,000 –> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: I was like, I think eighty seven has a pretty

509
00:23:57,359 –> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: good shot. I’m thinking I don’t know. I’m gonna go

510
00:23:58,800 –> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: out of a limb. There’s always surprise. Cuts to Marcus Robinson,

511
00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: former chief cut by the Raiders on their first colth

512
00:24:04,320 –> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 1: I was like, interesting, all right, we had Sydney, Australia

513
00:24:08,000 –> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: at practice today here in Saint Joe, Missouri, we have

514
00:24:10,920 –> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: heard from six continents on defending the Kingdom Antarctica. Where

515
00:24:14,800 –> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: are you now? Here is my challenge to the world

516
00:24:17,880 –> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: next year, we want all seven continents at least represented

517
00:24:23,400 –> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: by one family coming to camp at least one day.

518
00:24:26,240 –> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 1: Saint Joe. Thank you, Missouri Western State University, thank you.

519
00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: What I love about these days at camp it’s families

520
00:24:32,640 –> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: and it’s kids, and it’s fabulous. For Matt McCallan, senior

521
00:24:36,800 –> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: team reporter, and for Shawn Barber, longtime NFL player and

522
00:24:40,600 –> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: Barbershop himself and Mitch Alter’s voice of the Chiefs, we

523
00:24:43,480 –> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: will see you at GEHA Field at Arrowheads Stadium, three

524
00:24:46,480 –> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: pm Saturday. Let’s go be loud and let these rookies

525
00:24:49,920 –> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: know they’re in a special place to touch down. The

526
00:24:56,680 –> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: celebration begins in their hand s.
