71
00:03:11,480 –> 00:03:13,760

Speaker 2: Are the better way. And one might be a short

79
00:03:25,560 –> 00:03:27,400

157
00:06:48,320 –> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: just chatted with coach about this. These three days are

158
00:06:52,040 –> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: a huge test, not just physically but mentally emotionally because

159
00:06:56,000 –> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: they’ve they leave this. This is a bubble, really and

160
00:06:59,160 –> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: you leave this to go play preseason game and you’re thinking,

161
00:07:02,240 –> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: all right, like we’re done, let’s move. No, you come

162
00:07:05,120 –> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: back for these three days, and Coach does not let

163
00:07:08,440 –> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: up like these have been two padded practices. Today was

164
00:07:10,840 –> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: live for a lot of it. It’s a red zone,

165
00:07:13,640 –> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: goal line, live, let’s go, let’s tackle dudes and take

166
00:07:17,120 –> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: them all the way down like it was a game.

167
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: And so coach sees it as a test of how guy,

168
00:07:22,520 –> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: even the veterans, how they handle it coming back here

169
00:07:25,800 –> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: for these three days.

170
00:07:26,760 –> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: Do they keep concentration?

171
00:07:28,560 –> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: Can they take what happened in the game and improve

172
00:07:31,320 –> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: on it these three days and into the second preseason

173
00:07:34,360 –> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: game in the Cardinals.

174
00:07:36,160 –> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: Hopefully you Kingdom defenders.

175
00:07:37,600 –> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: Matt and I have educated you that there are no

176
00:07:40,200 –> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: wasted days by coach read no wasted time. But these

177
00:07:43,560 –> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: three days are unique more than any three days out

178
00:07:45,920 –> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: of the year because of the test that it gives

179
00:07:48,800 –> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: these guys.

180
00:07:49,480 –> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it’s tough really for two main reasons, physically and

181
00:07:52,520 –> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: then mentally. So if you think about the schedule, like

182
00:07:56,120 –> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: you said, we’re up here every single day in a

183
00:07:59,040 –> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: bubble where it’s virtually groundhog day, like you and I

184
00:08:01,920 –> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 3: forget the day of the week often because it’s just

185
00:08:04,080 –> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: the practice schedule. It’s like, are we practicing? Are we not?

186
00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: Are they pads today? Are they not?

187
00:08:08,400 –> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: And for the players it’s the same way and they

188
00:08:10,160 –> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 3: get kind of into a groove where it’s three weeks

189
00:08:12,600 –> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 3: of just being out here every single day. But when

190
00:08:14,920 –> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 3: you go through the whole game day experience, it kind

191
00:08:17,440 –> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: of throws a wrench in that. Because we practiced on Friday,

192
00:08:20,840 –> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 3: it was a ten ten ten lighter practice, but then

193
00:08:23,160 –> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: we flew to New Orleans on Saturday, had the game

194
00:08:25,440 –> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: on Sunday, and then there was a player day off

195
00:08:27,520 –> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: on Monday. But then all of a sudden, you come

196
00:08:29,640 –> 00:08:32,079
Speaker 3: back for three more days up here in Saint Joe.

197
00:08:32,360 –> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: In the first two days, so yesterday and now today,

198
00:08:34,440 –> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 3: which is Wednesday, are padded practices. So on one end,

199
00:08:37,720 –> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: that’s physically demanding because a lot of these guys played

200
00:08:40,559 –> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 3: significant snaps in that game against the Saints. Then they

201
00:08:43,120 –> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: come back out here in the heat and have to

202
00:08:44,920 –> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: put the pads on and have live practices.

203
00:08:47,640 –> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: Right.

204
00:08:48,040 –> 00:08:49,959
Speaker 3: But really the most important thing, I think is the

205
00:08:50,040 –> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: retention aspect. So if you talk to coach Read about

206
00:08:52,559 –> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: how he does this schedule. A lot of times, like

207
00:08:54,880 –> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: earlier in camp, you’ll have three or four padded days

208
00:08:57,320 –> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: in a row and then a lighter ten ten ten day,

209
00:08:59,760 –> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: which basically a mental day. They not wearing pads on

210
00:09:02,240 –> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 3: these practices, and then they have an off day. But

211
00:09:05,040 –> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: when they come back, they’re back in pads typically, and

212
00:09:08,040 –> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: Coach Red always says, I’m looking for retention. If you

213
00:09:10,840 –> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: had two back to back days where you weren’t in

214
00:09:12,840 –> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 3: pads and then including the off day where you weren’t

215
00:09:15,520 –> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: here at all, are we able to come back out

216
00:09:17,760 –> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: here after a couple of days off of the physical

217
00:09:20,360 –> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: aspect and hit the ground running. Can you retain everything

218
00:09:23,280 –> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: that we’re trying to teach you? And I think that’s

219
00:09:25,400 –> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: emphasized even more after the whole game day experience, because

220
00:09:30,240 –> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: are guys staying locked in, are they still getting better gradually?

221
00:09:34,160 –> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: Are they getting ramped up for the football season. And

222
00:09:36,320 –> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: I think even though all these days are important. I

223
00:09:39,200 –> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: think in terms of roster evaluation, this week is extremely significant.

224
00:09:43,720 –> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: You can learn a lot about the guys that are

225
00:09:45,679 –> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: maybe fighting for a roster spot right now, because how

226
00:09:48,280 –> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: do they handle that. It’s not easy, And we’re learning

227
00:09:51,440 –> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: a lot about the guys on that bubble during these

228
00:09:54,640 –> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: three day stretch.

229
00:09:55,440 –> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like doing a download, you’re seeing the thing

230
00:09:58,040 –> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: just where we’re getting close to the end of this

231
00:10:00,679 –> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: download for this Kansas City Chiefs team. The other thing

232
00:10:03,240 –> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: that’s practical about this, and I just mentioned I talked

233
00:10:06,000 –> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: with coach about it. Think about this in the chief schedule,

234
00:10:10,040 –> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: some teams play Sunday at noon, Sunday at noon, Sunday

235
00:10:12,080 –> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: at noon, oh three, twenty five Sunday. The Kansas City

236
00:10:15,080 –> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs this year are playing in eight exclusive windows. I

237
00:10:18,040 –> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: think it’s the most ever. And the fact that we

238
00:10:20,559 –> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: play Sunday night, two Sunday night games, two Monday night games,

239
00:10:25,440 –> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: two Thursday night games, a lot of Sunday three twenty

240
00:10:27,880 –> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: fave games, a few noon Sundays. And do you talk

241
00:10:31,360 –> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: about not knowing what day it is? What that means

242
00:10:34,160 –> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: for a team then, is it’s not the normal days.

243
00:10:37,960 –> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: Of the week. This is like you’ve got it. What

244
00:10:40,360 –> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: is today?

245
00:10:41,200 –> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: This is a normal if your Sunday’s your timing point

246
00:10:45,080 –> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: to come back from Oh gosh, we play on a

247
00:10:47,040 –> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: Thursday night, that means really Monday is.

248
00:10:49,480 –> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 2: What a Friday? I mean?

249
00:10:51,760 –> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: Or a Thursday, And so that’s also a test. It’s

250
00:10:55,200 –> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: almost like you’re taking a college class or a high

251
00:10:57,880 –> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: school class and you’re getting a pop quiz every day.

252
00:11:00,880 –> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: So the pop quiz here handling it mentally and physically

253
00:11:04,320 –> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: like we’re talking about, but also understanding. For the Kansas

254
00:11:07,760 –> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: City Chiefs right now, it’s really interesting in the seventeen

255
00:11:11,280 –> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: weeks because you’re going to Germany as well. No week

256
00:11:15,120 –> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: is the same, yeah, and you have to train a

257
00:11:17,280 –> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: team to be able to react to that.

258
00:11:19,240 –> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we’re going to Germany where we’ll play at eight

259
00:11:21,160 –> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: thirty in the morning Central times. That’s an exclusive window.

260
00:11:23,800 –> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: And we also play on Christmas against the Raiders at home.

261
00:11:26,559 –> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: That’s an exclusive window. So that’s the funny thing is

262
00:11:28,920 –> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: eight times this year, no matter where you are in

263
00:11:31,280 –> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: the country, the Chiefs will be the game on TV.

264
00:11:34,960 –> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: So you’re right, you have to train your body to

265
00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: not be only prepared for those Sunday noon games because

266
00:11:39,720 –> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: we only play like two of those when other teams

267
00:11:42,720 –> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: in the NFL maybe that aren’t so good kind of

268
00:11:45,640 –> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: know their schedule every single week. We dealt with this

269
00:11:48,360 –> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: last year too, though, I mean the first like five

270
00:11:50,360 –> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: or six games of the year. I think we’re all

271
00:11:51,720 –> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 3: in different time slots, weren’t they. Yeah, so the guys

272
00:11:53,840 –> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: that have been here kind of understand that.

273
00:11:55,520 –> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 2: But I don’t think that had happened either in NFL history.

274
00:11:58,040 –> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: I don’t think so. And now we’re going to basically

275
00:11:59,880 –> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: do it again here. But Mike Borganzi, the chief assisant

276
00:12:03,040 –> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: general manager, just spoke to the media. He pointed this out.

277
00:12:05,840 –> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: There’s thirty seven new players on the roster this year

278
00:12:09,000 –> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: that were not on the roster at all last season.

279
00:12:10,960 –> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: So while Patrick.

280
00:12:12,200 –> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: Mahomes, Travis Kelcey, those guys kind of get it, for

281
00:12:14,480 –> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: the newer players and particularly the rookies, you have to

282
00:12:17,400 –> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: find kind of train your mind to understand. My routine

283
00:12:20,800 –> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: is whatever coach read and the coaching staff says, my

284
00:12:23,480 –> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: routine is. I can’t just get into a routine based

285
00:12:25,720 –> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: on the days of the week or when games typically are,

286
00:12:28,840 –> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: because for the Chiefs it’s very abnormal.

287
00:12:32,040 –> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: As we close here, we’ll just touch on the Saints

288
00:12:34,800 –> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: game quickly and quickly what we saw in these two

289
00:12:39,120 –> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: of these three days so far, and then get into

290
00:12:41,040 –> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals game really quickly here, but some encouraging signs

291
00:12:44,160 –> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: in the Saints game the wide receiver position. Fans have

292
00:12:47,720 –> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: been just scouring over this all throughout the spring and summer.

293
00:12:50,840 –> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: In this camp, there are thirteen wide receivers. We went

294
00:12:53,920 –> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: over that in a last podcast, and with Kadarius Tony

295
00:12:57,080 –> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: being injured, but yesterday there were three more guys that

296
00:13:01,840 –> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: went down. Now, the good news is Justin Ross came

297
00:13:04,520 –> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: back to practice today, so did Amir Smith Marsette, but

298
00:13:10,240 –> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: Nico Romihio and Kadarius tone remained to be out, So

299
00:13:15,200 –> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: that’s one thing. But it was very encouraging because eight

300
00:13:17,240 –> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: guys in that game against the Saints had double digit

301
00:13:20,120 –> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 1: yardage at least on a single.

302
00:13:21,360 –> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: Catch, and there was some really encouraging things.

303
00:13:23,360 –> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: It’s the kind of game where, yeah, the Chiefs lost,

304
00:13:26,000 –> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: and they lost in kind of devastating fashion where if

305
00:13:28,160 –> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: that was a regular season game, I think you and

306
00:13:30,080 –> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 3: I would have our hands on our knees or something,

307
00:13:32,080 –> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: but the end result doesn’t matter. We saw some really

308
00:13:35,120 –> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 3: great stuff in that game. And almost more importantly, there’s

309
00:13:37,960 –> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: things that the Chiefs can learn from and work on

310
00:13:40,160 –> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 3: from the game, because you have to put things on

311
00:13:42,080 –> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 3: tape and do them against an opponent to see how

312
00:13:44,720 –> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: they work, and then Okay, how do we tinker things,

313
00:13:46,920 –> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 3: how do we get a little bit better based on

314
00:13:48,400 –> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: how things played out against the Saints. Keep in mind,

315
00:13:51,120 –> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: they’re not game planning for that game at all. They’re

316
00:13:53,640 –> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: not targeting the Saints defensively or the other way around

317
00:13:56,679 –> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 3: and saying this is what we can really take advantage

318
00:13:59,960 –> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 3: of with this team. I’m not doing any of that.

319
00:14:01,559 –> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 3: It’s just basically a live opponent is all it is.

320
00:14:04,080 –> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: So the final score doesn’t matter. It’s just a matter

321
00:14:05,640 –> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 3: if he didn’t work in and they got plenty of

322
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 3: work in and we saw good things you mentioned Remihio.

323
00:14:09,880 –> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 3: It’s too bad he dislocated his shoulder here a few

324
00:14:11,920 –> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 3: days ago because he was one of the stars of

325
00:14:13,840 –> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: that game. He had four catches for seventy one yards.

326
00:14:16,400 –> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 3: Hopefully he can get back here soon. Richie James, though,

327
00:14:19,600 –> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: was one that I’m very excited about. Richie’s a player

328
00:14:22,080 –> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 3: that steadily over time we’ve gotten more and more encouraged

329
00:14:25,480 –> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: by just by what we’ve seen during training camp, and

330
00:14:27,920 –> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: he carried that over into the game. I mean, two

331
00:14:30,160 –> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 3: catches for forty four yards and a touchdown. The offense

332
00:14:33,360 –> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: was kind of struggling for a while to start the game,

333
00:14:36,360 –> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: and that huge connection between Blaine Gabbert and Richie James

334
00:14:39,000 –> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: kind of got things going and we can see that

335
00:14:41,080 –> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: kind of stuff translating to the season, I think. I mean,

336
00:14:43,520 –> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 3: Richie had another really great practice here today. He had

337
00:14:46,600 –> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: one play where it was a short route, catches, the

338
00:14:49,640 –> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: ball stops on a dime, the defender goes flying by him,

339
00:14:53,080 –> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: and then he changes direction and runs in for the touchdown.

340
00:14:55,800 –> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: So I think we’re gonna see Richie help this team

341
00:14:57,800 –> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: in a lot of different ways. But it was great

342
00:14:59,480 –> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 3: seeing that plastic a deep speed down the sideline from

343
00:15:02,480 –> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 3: him as well. And Seane Michelle was just solid with

344
00:15:05,200 –> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 3: his opportunity eleven of eighteen for one hundred and fifty

345
00:15:07,920 –> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: five yards and two touchdowns. When you’re a player like

346
00:15:10,240 –> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: Shane trying to make this roster and trying to show

347
00:15:12,160 –> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: that you belong, I think he put his best foot

348
00:15:14,600 –> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: forward in that game and did some great things and defensively,

349
00:15:17,480 –> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: Drew Trankle is a player that We’re very excited about

350
00:15:19,320 –> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 3: We’ve talked about him ever since he signed here way

351
00:15:21,280 –> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: back in March. Great to see him get five tackles

352
00:15:24,440 –> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 3: in a sack. Such a versatile player who’s going to

353
00:15:26,640 –> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: help us in a bunch of different ways, and we

354
00:15:28,160 –> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: already saw that against the Saints.

355
00:15:30,000 –> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: I’m glad you mentioned Richie James because he, to me

356
00:15:32,520 –> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: becomes the valedictorian of this podcast because of how he

357
00:15:36,560 –> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: has attacked these last two days. So Coach said to

358
00:15:40,360 –> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: me as well, consistency, consistency along with the test. Richie

359
00:15:43,960 –> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: James came out here and dominated in many ways the

360
00:15:46,960 –> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: last two days in practice and again two very difficult days.

361
00:15:50,480 –> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: Richie James and Coach read all throughout his twenty five

362
00:15:53,760 –> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: years as being a head coach has always kind of

363
00:15:55,640 –> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: had a guy like Richie James, thinking of Jason Evant,

364
00:15:59,160 –> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: even Greg Lewis former chiefs assistant Byron Pringle fit that role.

365
00:16:04,480 –> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: There’s a lot of things Richie James can do to

366
00:16:06,360 –> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: help this team win games. We’ll close it out this

367
00:16:08,720 –> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: way in things to work on, and one is the

368
00:16:12,240 –> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: defensive line against the Arizona Cardinals. Just put that whole

369
00:16:16,360 –> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: first team defense out there to see the Saints go

370
00:16:18,840 –> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: twelve plays in eighty yards convert third downs. Saints were

371
00:16:21,720 –> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: kind of doing whatever they wanted to do. The Chiefs

372
00:16:24,400 –> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: defensively want to see a lot more in this game.

373
00:16:27,680 –> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: Against the cart Yeah, you’d hope so.

374
00:16:29,520 –> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: And that’s just part of getting ready for the football seasons.

375
00:16:32,320 –> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: You want to see these guys get better and better

376
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: every single week. The trenches are some of the toughest

377
00:16:36,960 –> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: positions to hold in the NFL for lots of reasons,

378
00:16:39,760 –> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: but they’re also some of the toughest positions to get

379
00:16:41,800 –> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: ready for because these guys cannot hit in the offseason.

380
00:16:45,040 –> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 3: They can’t wear pads in the offseason. I mean they’ve

381
00:16:47,280 –> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: only had ten padded practices all of training camp, right,

382
00:16:50,000 –> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 3: And how can you really prepare for being in the

383
00:16:52,680 –> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 3: trenches when you can’t actually hit each other and wear pads.

384
00:16:55,440 –> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: We feel really good about the talent on this defensive front,

385
00:16:57,960 –> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: just a matter of going out there and meshing together

386
00:17:00,880 –> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: and doing it. And players like George Carloftis who has

387
00:17:03,280 –> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: had a great training camp. I’m hoping he can have

388
00:17:05,080 –> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 3: a big game against the Cardinals depending on how much

389
00:17:07,400 –> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 3: he plays, and Felix and Udika Yuzama as well as

390
00:17:10,000 –> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: a player that I’m definitely looking to hopefully have a

391
00:17:12,640 –> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: big game against the Cardinals.

392
00:17:14,920 –> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: It’s hard to.

393
00:17:15,440 –> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 3: Being a rookie in the NFL, and it’s particularly hard

394
00:17:17,640 –> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 3: being a rookie in the trenches. I think we’ve seen

395
00:17:20,119 –> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: some good signs from Felix here in recent weeks, and

396
00:17:23,119 –> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: I’d love to see him have a big game as well.

397
00:17:25,160 –> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we’ll close this way.

398
00:17:26,240 –> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: And again, Coach talked about tempo and you’d mentioned it

399
00:17:29,440 –> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: in a conversation you and I had had and Coach

400
00:17:31,720 –> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: just mentioned it once again. To me is the fact

401
00:17:33,440 –> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: that coming out with a tempo in this game against

402
00:17:36,080 –> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, the Saints quite honestly came out with their

403
00:17:38,480 –> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: hair on fire, let’s be honest offense. And so the

404
00:17:41,240 –> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: Chiefs want to do something similar like that against the

405
00:17:44,160 –> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Big thanks to Mosaic for making this possible

406
00:17:48,320 –> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: throughout training camp and also to Ticketmaster.

407
00:17:50,520 –> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: Check them out.

408
00:17:51,640 –> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 1: And I love what we’re doing with the Chiefs worldwide. Yea,

409
00:17:55,880 –> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: so to speak, that’s kind of fun of what we’re

410
00:17:57,560 –> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: doing there because a lot of you, of course joined

411
00:18:00,200 –> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: as Kingdom Defenders we know throughout the world. But just

412
00:18:03,320 –> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: we’ll close it out this way. Your thoughts overall on

413
00:18:05,320 –> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: this camp as we shut down.

414
00:18:06,800 –> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the biggest thing with training camp in my mind,

415
00:18:09,760 –> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 3: aside from just getting better and better every day and progressing,

416
00:18:13,359 –> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 3: is avoiding injuries. Right, and there’s been some injuries in

417
00:18:15,840 –> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: this camp, but I don’t think anything catastrophic. I think

418
00:18:18,160 –> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 3: we’re expecting just about everyone to be back at some point,

419
00:18:20,960 –> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: relatively early. I hate losing Jody Fortson to injured preserve

420
00:18:25,200 –> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 3: for the year. I love Jody as a player and

421
00:18:27,280 –> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: as a person. That’s a bummer. I know Jody will

422
00:18:29,680 –> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 3: be back better than ever next season. But other than that,

423
00:18:32,640 –> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: the Chiefs have gotten through this camp relatively healthy all

424
00:18:35,320 –> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 3: things considered. Nothing where guys are going to be out

425
00:18:38,119 –> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: for long periods of time and that’s the number one goal,

426
00:18:41,359 –> 00:18:44,199
Speaker 3: and also just hopefully continuing to build here over the

427
00:18:44,240 –> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 3: next several weeks. Camp is a grind. I think all

428
00:18:46,960 –> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: of these players deserve to be commended for making it

429
00:18:49,000 –> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 3: through training camp. It is not easy. You hear time

430
00:18:51,800 –> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: and time again that coach reads training camps are the

431
00:18:53,760 –> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 3: hardest camps in the NFL. Why are they hard? Because

432
00:18:56,400 –> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 3: he gets you ready for the season. We’ll be playing

433
00:18:58,760 –> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 3: a football game here against the Ts in three weeks,

434
00:19:01,320 –> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 3: which is hard to believe, but I think you and

435
00:19:04,000 –> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 3: I watching practices way back in May, we’ve seen so

436
00:19:07,359 –> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 3: much progress made just in a matter of months. You

437
00:19:10,720 –> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 3: can’t stop, though, have to keep making that progress, and

438
00:19:13,240 –> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: the next step is against the Cardinals on Saturday night.

439
00:19:15,840 –> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: It’s just a preseason game, but this is always the

440
00:19:17,560 –> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: game where the starters kind of play the most. What

441
00:19:20,000 –> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 3: we’re guessing Patrick Mahomes played two series in last year’s

442
00:19:23,760 –> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 3: second preseason game. We’ll see how much they played this

443
00:19:25,760 –> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: time around. But no injuries is my hope. And then secondly,

444
00:19:29,160 –> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: just continued growth from the guys.

445
00:19:31,080 –> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: So we’ll close it up from here in Saint Joseph.

446
00:19:33,520 –> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: Just know this, if the Chiefs have the season we

447
00:19:36,119 –> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 1: all want them to have and be a repeat Super

448
00:19:38,760 –> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: Bowl champion for the first time in two decades, don’t

449
00:19:41,280 –> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: overlook something very small, these three last days in Saint

450
00:19:45,560 –> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: Joseph and the tests that are given to these players

451
00:19:50,320 –> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: of this Kansas City Chiefs team in these three days.

452
00:19:53,119 –> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 1: In specific, he’s Matt mcpoland. I’m a chiltist voice of

453
00:19:55,960 –> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We’ll come at you again, but we’ll be

454
00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: back home to do it the next time. Turn tuh

455
00:20:02,760 –> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: touch down, rushed it down and the celebration begins with

456
00:20:07,160 –> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: their head

457
00:20:24,400 –> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 3: H
