00:02:59,200 –> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: for John Deere. Way or another.

67
00:03:00,720 –> 00:03:03,000

Speaker 1: it was it was awesome.

114
00:05:07,839 –> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: You know what that reminds me of is a few

115
00:05:10,120 –> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: episodes ago, we had like the three Super Bowl Championship

116
00:05:13,320 –> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 2: hats out and we talk about those three most recent

117
00:05:16,040 –> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 2: ones because they happened so recently, But I need some

118
00:05:19,080 –> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: Super Bowl four gear, like a Super Bowl four champion hat.

119
00:05:23,080 –> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: Did they make hats back then when you won the

120
00:05:25,040 –> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 2: Super Bowl?

121
00:05:25,600 –> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: If they did with the old mesh kind right, they

122
00:05:27,680 –> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: had the cloth in front and then the mesh back round,

123
00:05:30,040 –> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: that would be yeah, you’ll see him now. Hank didn’t

124
00:05:34,040 –> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: wear them as much he did at camp. You’ll see

125
00:05:36,640 –> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: these pictures of Hank with the Mesh three quarterback, right. Yeah,

126
00:05:39,960 –> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: and they made a comeback not that long ago, but

127
00:05:42,720 –> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: that’d be the hat you’d have to get with kind

128
00:05:44,480 –> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: of the football. And there’s some logos with some throwback shirts.

129
00:05:48,720 –> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, definitely we got to get some shirts and

130
00:05:50,640 –> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: hats from Super Bowl four and put them on display.

131
00:05:53,360 –> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of that, did you see the new trophy

132
00:05:55,560 –> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 2: case in the lobby.

133
00:05:56,520 –> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 1: As well it’s the best.

134
00:05:57,800 –> 00:06:00,320

135
00:06:00,320 –> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: in the lobby here at the facility, and it had

136
00:06:03,400 –> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 2: been outgrown because of all the success lately, because I

137
00:06:06,320 –> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: think it only had maybe two Lombardies in it and

138
00:06:09,040 –> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 2: then maybe one AOC Championship trophy. Now it has all

139
00:06:12,960 –> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 2: four Lamar Hunt Trophies and all four Lombardies in there.

140
00:06:16,160 –> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 2: It looks pretty great. Need to add some more space though.

141
00:06:19,400 –> 00:06:21,840

00:07:05,960 –> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, there you go. You mentioned super Bowl four.

159
00:07:09,880 –> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: Now we of course lost super Bowl one and then

160
00:07:13,600 –> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: we lost super Bowl fifty five, but super Bowl one

161
00:07:16,480 –> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: comes into play here as we kind of start this

162
00:07:18,680 –> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 1: episode because we’re yes, we’re talking about the second Wave,

163
00:07:22,240 –> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: but we also got a lot of Hollywood talk. Yep.

164
00:07:25,080 –> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Now the Chiefs, Okay, let’s start. The Coach Reid actually

165
00:07:29,720 –> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: has ties to Hollywood. His father was worked in Hollywood, right,

166
00:07:33,040 –> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: He was an artist, he made sets. And even though

167
00:07:36,920 –> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Coach went to John Marshall High School, which is not

168
00:07:39,840 –> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, I think they played Hollywood in sports, but

169
00:07:42,640 –> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: his dad worked on in Hollywood. So this is a

170
00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: little bit if Coach Red came to us from Hollywood,

171
00:07:48,480 –> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: but the Chiefs have also gone to Hollywood. There was

172
00:07:50,320 –> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: a guy you ever heard of, Fred Williamson, Fred the

173
00:07:52,720 –> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Hammer Williamson.

174
00:07:53,920 –> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: Sounds kind of familiar, but I couldn’t tell you much

175
00:07:55,640 –> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: about him.

176
00:07:56,120 –> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: This needs to be one of your like go down

177
00:07:57,960 –> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: to the rabbit holes. Fred the Hammer Wiamson was a

178
00:08:00,720 –> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: cornerback for the Chiefs and played in Super Bowl One.

179
00:08:03,880 –> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: And he was way out of his time because he

180
00:08:05,360 –> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: could really talk smack and he was talking about knocking

181
00:08:08,080 –> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: out all the Packer receivers. He’s and he had this

182
00:08:10,520 –> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 1: forearm which is illegal.

183
00:08:11,720 –> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: Now Max McGee is looking at him like he was

184
00:08:14,520 –> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: kind of like boy dollar, Max mczeery and to be gone.

185
00:08:17,320 –> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: And so Fred was somewhat of a sanguine character and

186
00:08:21,360 –> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: really good athlete. And ironically he got knocked out of

187
00:08:25,520 –> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl one. But and the Packers you can see

188
00:08:28,280 –> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: it on NFL films, were kind of they were going

189
00:08:31,040 –> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: after Fred. But Fred, after his career ended with the

190
00:08:35,360 –> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, became an actor and I bet I

191
00:08:39,080 –> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: was counting like his filmography. I think he was in

192
00:08:41,880 –> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: like either he was in close to a one hundred

193
00:08:44,360 –> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: and twenty five films.

194
00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

195
00:08:46,200 –> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he’s over the place if you research Fred Williamson,

196
00:08:49,800 –> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Fred the Hammer Williamson. Now, my favorite role of Fred

197
00:08:53,160 –> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 1: the Hammer Williamson was the police captain in startskinin Hutch.

198
00:08:58,920 –> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: You remember the parody of Starkin Hutch. Sure, yeah, Yeah,

199
00:09:01,720 –> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: he’s the guy of.

200
00:09:04,280 –> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 2: And so he had like big roles. He wasn’t just

201
00:09:06,559 –> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: like an extra.

202
00:09:07,280 –> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, this guy’s got big roles. Go back

203
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: and go back and check this guy out. Fred Williamson

204
00:09:12,480 –> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: was a deal and he’s awesome. It starts Get Huch right,

205
00:09:17,040 –> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: so he’s gonna anyway, watch it. It’s not the TV

206
00:09:22,080 –> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: starts Gin Hutch. It’s the Ben Stiller Owen Wilson remix,

207
00:09:25,160 –> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: which is hilarious. It’s one of my favorite movies. There’s

208
00:09:27,800 –> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: so many awesome lines in it. But Fred the Hammer

209
00:09:30,120 –> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: Williamson has a prominent role in that. He was in

210
00:09:32,080 –> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl one with the Chiefs and then John Amos

211
00:09:35,600 –> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 1: was a famous actor and he got cut by the Chiefs. Actually,

212
00:09:39,320 –> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: I think he lasted a couple of days and Stram goes,

213
00:09:42,160 –> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: you want to play football, but you’re not a football

214
00:09:44,000 –> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: player or something. But anyway, Johnny Amos became very well

215
00:09:48,080 –> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: known in both film and television and he wanted to

216
00:09:51,559 –> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: be a Chief but didn’t last very long. So there

217
00:09:54,120 –> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: was some moves of the Chiefs going to Hollywood. For sure,

218
00:09:57,720 –> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: Fred the Hammer Williamson would be the valedictorian. That discussion.

219
00:10:01,559 –> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: But now Hollywood comes to the Chiefs and here we go.

220
00:10:05,320 –> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: We prior to Gus Johnson give him the Hollywood name.

221
00:10:08,800 –> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: He was Marquise Brown, but he is Hollywood Brown. He

222
00:10:12,559 –> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: wants to be known as Hollywood Brown. Number one draft

223
00:10:15,440 –> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: pick of the Ravens in twenty nineteen, he requested a trade.

224
00:10:19,040 –> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: He went to the Arizona Cardinals. But now he’s a

225
00:10:21,240 –> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: Kansas City chief. Hollywood, Florida is his hometown. Hence the

226
00:10:25,120 –> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: nickname was a big play against k State when Gus

227
00:10:27,679 –> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Johnson didn’t know how to pronounce is this Marquise, Marquis

228
00:10:30,880 –> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: or Marcus, so he just calls him Hollywood and it’s stuck.

229
00:10:34,520 –> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: But what do you think Hollywood Brown is now in

230
00:10:36,400 –> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Kingdom?

231
00:10:37,160 –> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I think we deserve some credit

232
00:10:39,040 –> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: for this happening because our last episode was recorded on

233
00:10:42,880 –> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: Thursday morning, and we mentioned that we’re only going to

234
00:10:46,240 –> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: talk about what has happened already. I’m sure something new

235
00:10:48,920 –> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: will happen as soon as we record this, and what

236
00:10:51,400 –> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 2: do you know, Thursday night, there are are reports out

237
00:10:54,120 –> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: there that we signed Hollywood Brown, and Mitch and I

238
00:10:56,559 –> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: are like ecstatic about it, super excited, but it’s also like,

239
00:10:59,720 –> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 2: of course, this happens hours after we record our episode,

240
00:11:02,920 –> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: and we live in a weird world where we can’t

241
00:11:05,840 –> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 2: comment on things until they’re official, so we couldn’t even

242
00:11:08,320 –> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 2: talk about it until what Monday. But yeah, our episode

243
00:11:11,960 –> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: goes out on Friday. Don’t even mention Hollywood Brown. So

244
00:11:14,360 –> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: if we had not recorded, well, we were testing Thursday night.

245
00:11:16,600 –> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: At least we gave the disclaimer exactly. But if we

246
00:11:19,480 –> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: had not talked about if we had not done our

247
00:11:21,600 –> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: show on Thursday, who knows if we would have signed anybody.

248
00:11:24,440 –> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 2: We helped create that energy in the universe. But yeah,

249
00:11:27,480 –> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: I love it. I mean Hollywood Brown. Let’s talk about him.

250
00:11:30,559 –> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: Five foot nine, one hundred and eighty pounds with great speed.

251
00:11:33,840 –> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 2: Look at his pro day back in two thousand and

252
00:11:36,760 –> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 2: nineteen eighteen. I ran a four to two seven, so

253
00:11:40,600 –> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: great speed. But you look at his size and kind

254
00:11:43,200 –> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: of his makeup as a player. If you’ve never watched

255
00:11:46,200 –> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: him before, you might think, Okay, that’s a guy that

256
00:11:47,920 –> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: plays just the slot, but not the case. It’s actually

257
00:11:50,559 –> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: kind of interesting. Hollywood Brown in his career has primarily

258
00:11:54,280 –> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 2: been an outside wide receiver, so it says a lot

259
00:11:56,800 –> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: about his talent, his skill level and what he can

260
00:11:58,880 –> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: do that. He has the body type of a guy

261
00:12:01,400 –> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: you might think might just be a slot receiver, but

262
00:12:03,160 –> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: he’s actually not that he’s a complete receiver. He has

263
00:12:06,480 –> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: eight hundred and eighty four career snaps split out wide

264
00:12:09,880 –> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: against oftentimes a team’s top corner, then nine hundred and

265
00:12:13,120 –> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 2: thirty nine snaps out of the slot in his career.

266
00:12:16,200 –> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: He can stretch the field vertically. We all know that

267
00:12:18,960 –> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: that deep threat with that speed and what he can

268
00:12:21,840 –> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 2: do in terms of getting down the field quickly, but

269
00:12:24,440 –> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: he also is really effective making plays on those short

270
00:12:27,679 –> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: underneath routs. And look back at his best season in

271
00:12:30,320 –> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, his thousand yard campaign with the Ravens.

272
00:12:34,280 –> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 2: He had ninety one catches that year, well sixty nine

273
00:12:36,760 –> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 2: of them occurred either behind the line of scrimmage or

274
00:12:39,559 –> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: within nine yards of the line of scrimmage, and he

275
00:12:42,720 –> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 2: had more than three hundred yards after the catch on

276
00:12:45,400 –> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 2: those plays. So this is a guy that sure is

277
00:12:48,280 –> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 2: a deep threat that’s important can take the top off

278
00:12:50,320 –> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: the defense back in twenty twenty one, he had four

279
00:12:52,800 –> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: touchdown grabs of more than twenty yards, But he can

280
00:12:55,280 –> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: also make plays in space and make guys miss underneath,

281
00:12:59,480 –> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: which is very exciting. I think he’s really, in a

282
00:13:01,880 –> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 2: lot of ways the prototypical, perfect kind of wide receiver

283
00:13:04,640 –> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: for what Coach Reed wants to do.

284
00:13:06,120 –> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: A couple things caught my eye and we’ve played against him.

285
00:13:09,880 –> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: He had a buck over a buck of receiving in

286
00:13:12,320 –> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: the twenty one game in Baltimore where we had the

287
00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: late fumble. We’re on the way to win the game,

288
00:13:18,000 –> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: we lose thirty six thirty five. But a couple of

289
00:13:20,600 –> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: things when you do the deep drive into Hollywood Brown

290
00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: that gets you excited. One in that twenty one year,

291
00:13:25,200 –> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: and the twenty one year is the one that pops

292
00:13:26,800 –> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: off the surface, right. He had a four digit year

293
00:13:29,240 –> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: receiving yards, and he had a full year with Lamar Jackson,

294
00:13:33,400 –> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: but he had twenty three targets on third and eight

295
00:13:36,760 –> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: plus that year. He had fourteen catches of those twenty

296
00:13:40,480 –> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: three for first downs. They’re only two players better in

297
00:13:43,480 –> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: the NFL than Hollywood Brown in that category, and those

298
00:13:47,679 –> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: weren’t all just go routes. Okay, So that tells you

299
00:13:50,640 –> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: a reliable third down receiver third and eight plus, which

300
00:13:54,520 –> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: has been a little bit of a void the last

301
00:13:56,440 –> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: two years. That’s one that catches your eye most recent history.

302
00:13:59,559 –> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: And of course Arizona went through a lot of quarterback

303
00:14:02,720 –> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: injuries and Kyler Murray’s missed so much time. But last year,

304
00:14:06,320 –> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: three goal to go targets for Hollywood Brown with the

305
00:14:08,760 –> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and three touchdowns. Now to compare that, think

306
00:14:12,440 –> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: of Rashie Rice, he had four gold to go targets,

307
00:14:15,600 –> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: he had four touchdowns. Think of the game in Germany, right,

308
00:14:19,240 –> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: But Hollywood had three goal to go targets and three touchdowns.

309
00:14:23,240 –> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: So this is complementing your point, meaning, and this is

310
00:14:27,960 –> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: what Hollywood will have to do in this offense. Anybody

311
00:14:30,840 –> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: that has a wr by your name in this Andy

312
00:14:33,400 –> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Reid Patrick Mahomes offense must be able to at some

313
00:14:37,320 –> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: point and as soon as you can get there, the

314
00:14:39,560 –> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: better to be able to be a slot receiver, inside

315
00:14:43,080 –> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: receiver on trips, X receiver, Z receiver, a slot motion receiver,

316
00:14:47,680 –> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: jets fake jets. That’s how he won Super Bowl fifty eight.

317
00:14:51,360 –> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, so it looks like the fact that Hollywood

318
00:14:55,240 –> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: Brown can play all of those roles, and statistically there

319
00:14:58,640 –> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: have been times he has done exactly that should be

320
00:15:02,600 –> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: the one thing that should get the Chief Kingdom most excited.

321
00:15:06,120 –> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 2: And this is a player who I don’t think has

322
00:15:07,880 –> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: been fully unlocked yet. To your point, he even mentioned

323
00:15:10,960 –> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 2: as such in his press conference where he thinks he’s

324
00:15:13,080 –> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: shown a lot of things in the NFL, but he

325
00:15:15,360 –> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 2: has a chance to really put it all together here

326
00:15:18,000 –> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: because of the circumstances and the environment. And think about

327
00:15:21,400 –> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: his time in Baltimore. So really good player in Baltimore,

328
00:15:25,200 –> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: had that great twenty twenty one season, notably, but that

329
00:15:28,360 –> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: was the Ravens offense that was built around running the football.

330
00:15:31,400 –> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: They ranked thirtieth in the NFL and net passing yards

331
00:15:34,120 –> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: per game during his three years there, and even in

332
00:15:36,760 –> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, they were thirteenth in the NFL in

333
00:15:40,080 –> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: net passing yards per game, easily the highest ranking they

334
00:15:42,960 –> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: had during that three year stretch. The Ravens didn’t throw

335
00:15:45,640 –> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: the football a whole lot. They’re built around running the football,

336
00:15:48,760 –> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: and he still put up good numbers there. And then,

337
00:15:51,120 –> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: like you said, in Arizona, I mean, the idea there

338
00:15:53,800 –> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: was to pair him back with Kyler Murray, who he

339
00:15:55,640 –> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: played with in college. But Kyler was hurt for a

340
00:15:58,680 –> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: good part of both of those seasons, so kind of

341
00:16:01,320 –> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: a weird situation quarterback wise in Arizona, and he still

342
00:16:04,040 –> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: put his best foot forward. I think during his two

343
00:16:06,320 –> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: years there he led the Cardinals and catches, receiving yards

344
00:16:09,200 –> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: and receiving touchdowns when you combine his two seasons, So

345
00:16:12,680 –> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 2: a really productive player despite some tough circumstances in both places.

346
00:16:16,360 –> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 2: And this is the perfect circumstance for him. Come to

347
00:16:19,200 –> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: Kansas City, play for coach Red and play with the

348
00:16:21,600 –> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: best quarterback in the NFL in a pass centric offense.

349
00:16:25,040 –> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: And he’s the first player in NFL history to have

350
00:16:27,320 –> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: two forty plus yard touchdowns in his very first game.

351
00:16:30,400 –> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: Going back to that twenty nineteen season when he was

352
00:16:32,640 –> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: the first round draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens.

353
00:16:36,640 –> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: But rist receiver taken two, I believe in.

354
00:16:38,760 –> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: The twenty fifth pick. I think, yeah, sure it was.

355
00:16:41,320 –> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: And that was the McCole Hardman Draft, and what happened

356
00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: that was weird. That was a weird night in the

357
00:16:46,880 –> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs kingdom from a standpoint of what happened before the draft.

358
00:16:50,120 –> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: But that’s another matter. Okay, So Hollywood Brown is now

359
00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: a Chief, Tommy Townsend’s now at Texan makes it easy.

360
00:16:55,960 –> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: He wants number five. Give him number five. We’re ready

361
00:16:58,520 –> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: to roll and let him ruin. But here’s the word

362
00:17:02,360 –> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: we’d give to Hollywood is okay, your life will start

363
00:17:06,160 –> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: with pats OTAs aka the PoTA I call him Pat’s

364
00:17:09,720 –> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: OTA’s on his own that leads you into the chiefs OTAs,

365
00:17:12,960 –> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 1: which I would guess would be about as hard as

366
00:17:15,920 –> 00:17:18,239
Speaker 1: you worked at camp with the Arizona Cardinals. And then

367
00:17:18,240 –> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: when you hit Saint Joseph, be ready to rock because

368
00:17:21,440 –> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: when coach, we’ve seen this. We saw this with Rice

369
00:17:24,240 –> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: last year, we’ve seen it with Juju, We’ve seen it

370
00:17:26,800 –> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: with others who joined the group, and hey, you’re gonna

371
00:17:30,040 –> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: get CALC one, two and three in the first semester.

372
00:17:32,680 –> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: So just get ready because if you buy in, just

373
00:17:35,920 –> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: like Rashie did last year, you’ll realize, wait a minute,

374
00:17:39,080 –> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: I can do things in a quick fashion that I

375
00:17:43,040 –> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: wasn’t even sure I could do. So to get full bloom,

376
00:17:46,200 –> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 1: as you’ve alluded to with Hollywood, Brown, it’s up now

377
00:17:49,280 –> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 1: to Hollywood. Just lock in, know every position, do it

378
00:17:53,200 –> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: as fast as you can, and get on the fast

379
00:17:55,320 –> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: track and be ready to work. Because the Chiefs were

380
00:17:57,440 –> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: winning because they were.

381
00:17:58,760 –> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 2: Well And did you see that Patrick’s Instagram that they’re

382
00:18:01,680 –> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 2: already together. I mean, that’s how you fire up Chiefs Kingdom.

383
00:18:04,440 –> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: Right is, He’s been a Chief for like twenty four

384
00:18:06,560 –> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 2: hours and he’s already working out with Patrick in Hollywood,

385
00:18:10,200 –> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 2: works out in Texas. That’s what he said during his

386
00:18:11,960 –> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 2: press conference. So it’s going to work out perfectly, hopefully

387
00:18:14,760 –> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: right there. Get some early work done with the offense

388
00:18:18,359 –> 00:18:21,199
Speaker 2: with Patrick Mahomes, and then when OTAs begin here in

389
00:18:21,240 –> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: Kansas City at some point in May, has a bit

390
00:18:23,560 –> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: of a head start, it can start immersing himself in

391
00:18:26,040 –> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: this offense. But that’s why Ota is, That’s why this

392
00:18:28,800 –> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: time of year is so important. It’s tough for the Chiefs.

393
00:18:31,320 –> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: It’s a good problem to have, but it’s tough because

394
00:18:33,119 –> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: their offseason is like a month and a half shorter

395
00:18:35,320 –> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 2: than everyone else’s. But when you’re a team like Kansas City,

396
00:18:38,040 –> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 2: you have a chance to make some history this upcoming year.

397
00:18:40,200 –> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: Go for that.

398
00:18:40,600 –> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 2: Three Pete. Guys want to be a part of that.

399
00:18:42,560 –> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: Guys are eager to get back to work, and as

400
00:18:44,760 –> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 2: we saw with that ig post, those guys are already working.

401
00:18:47,280 –> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ed ViBe’s already here. It was even there at

402
00:18:50,200 –> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: the end of the Super Bowl celebration basically, and it’s

403
00:18:53,600 –> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: been carried on ever since then. But it’s an example

404
00:18:56,600 –> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 1: of the second wave of free agency. The first wave

405
00:18:59,560 –> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: is the when in the last episode, you know, the

406
00:19:02,800 –> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: legal tampering period and the New York Stock Exchange, where

407
00:19:05,640 –> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: everything just goes crazy and people are yelling at each

408
00:19:08,119 –> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: other and signing guys and going nuts. But the second

409
00:19:11,640 –> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: wave is when things calm down and the Chiefs have

410
00:19:14,160 –> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: done a really good job in the second wave. When

411
00:19:18,280 –> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: you look at last year, I mean Drew Trank will

412
00:19:20,280 –> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: signed about this time of the year. Mike Edwards was

413
00:19:24,480 –> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: very close in that time. When you look at and

414
00:19:27,200 –> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: the other thing that we want to always try to

415
00:19:29,000 –> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: kind of emphasize you and I is what’s new, what’s

416
00:19:31,840 –> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: the new shiny thing? Well, you also like to keep

417
00:19:34,600 –> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: the guys that you want, and the Chiefs did that,

418
00:19:38,080 –> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: of course with Chris Jones and doing that contract. We

419
00:19:40,440 –> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: discussed that they did it with Drew Tranquil, but they

420
00:19:43,040 –> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: also did it in the second wave. Because there’s three

421
00:19:45,119 –> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: guys that come to mind here. Turk Wharton has re

422
00:19:47,800 –> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: signed in this so called second wave. Derek Noddy is signed,

423
00:19:52,680 –> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: Mike Panal was a few days earlier than those guys.

424
00:19:55,040 –> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: But the point is with Chris Johns, and you’re going

425
00:19:57,480 –> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: to draft some of you guys or put some free

426
00:19:59,320 –> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: agents in there. Your inside tech guys are ready to go.

427
00:20:03,119 –> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: A lot of continuity along the interior of the Chiefs

428
00:20:05,600 –> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: defensive line from last year and really from previous years.

429
00:20:09,119 –> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 2: Think about Derek Noddy. I think one of the more

430
00:20:11,600 –> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: underappreciated players on this team. He’s played in ninety eight

431
00:20:15,920 –> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 2: games over the last six seasons and started eighty six

432
00:20:19,280 –> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 2: of them, and he plays a role on the defense

433
00:20:22,240 –> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: that’s very difficult to quantify, Like he’s never going to

434
00:20:24,880 –> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 2: have a ton of really big stats like sacks and

435
00:20:27,920 –> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: pressures and all that, but he’s occupying space, he’s defending

436
00:20:31,119 –> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: the run, and he’s one of the players inside that

437
00:20:33,359 –> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 2: helps make the entire operation go. And as we’ve mentioned,

438
00:20:36,440 –> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 2: we think this was the best defense in the NFL

439
00:20:38,280 –> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: last year. Well, he was truly right in the middle

440
00:20:40,560 –> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: of it. So great having Derek Naughty back. Just does

441
00:20:43,560 –> 00:20:45,360
Speaker 2: a lot of dirty work. As I mentioned that, it’s

442
00:20:45,359 –> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 2: hard to put into numbers, but if you just watch

443
00:20:48,600 –> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: the games, you can tell why he’s so valuable and

444
00:20:50,840 –> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 2: why Bretviach wanted to bring him back. And Turk Wharton

445
00:20:54,160 –> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: so seventeen pressures and.

446
00:20:55,720 –> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: Do this with Derek. I mean, if you message him,

447
00:21:00,119 –> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: where you see him in public or whatever, just thank him.

448
00:21:02,840 –> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: I mean that guy. You’re right, he has done so

449
00:21:05,240 –> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: much to help this team win championships and he’s been

450
00:21:07,280 –> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: a part of all three that unless you really watch

451
00:21:12,240 –> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: the video, I don’t think we can fully appreciate what

452
00:21:14,800 –> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: Derek Naughty does.

453
00:21:15,720 –> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: Sure, and you have to be a certain kind of guy,

454
00:21:18,280 –> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: like wired a certain way to really be committed to

455
00:21:21,080 –> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: that role. And he’s that guy. So that’s why he’s

456
00:21:23,640 –> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 2: back here in Kansas City. Turk Wharton also a fun player.

457
00:21:26,760 –> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 2: I always think of you when we’re talking about Turk

458
00:21:29,160 –> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: Wharton because way back in twenty twenty, when training camp

459
00:21:32,920 –> 00:21:36,640
Speaker 2: was at the Chiefs facility due to COVID restrictions, Turk

460
00:21:36,800 –> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 2: was just a UDFA out of a Missouri rawa And

461
00:21:40,800 –> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: you and I were watching training camp trying to think

462
00:21:43,560 –> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: who would be maybe making this team that people weren’t

463
00:21:46,520 –> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 2: talking about, and we saw Turk Wharton out there just

464
00:21:50,040 –> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: bawling out, just looking way better than a UDFA should more, Like,

465
00:21:54,400 –> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: are we sure this guy wasn’t drafted? Like where did

466
00:21:56,800 –> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: this guy come from? And what a career he’s had

467
00:21:59,320 –> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: here in Kansas City over the last several years. Last

468
00:22:02,000 –> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: year really solid year for him. Had seventeen pressures, five

469
00:22:04,640 –> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: quarterback hits, two sacks. He logged at least twenty five

470
00:22:07,800 –> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: defensive snaps in each of the Chiefs four playoff games,

471
00:22:10,560 –> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 2: so a regular contributor during the Super Bowl run. And

472
00:22:13,600 –> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: what’s interesting about him, he’s two hundred and eighty pounds,

473
00:22:16,960 –> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: so he’s kind of a tweener along the defensive line.

474
00:22:19,600 –> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: He’d be kind of like a big defensive end, but

475
00:22:21,640 –> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 2: kind of a small in terms of weight defensive tackle.

476
00:22:24,480 –> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 2: But he’s still athletic that he can kind of do everything.

477
00:22:26,880 –> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: And that’s what Steve Spagnola wants as a versatile player

478
00:22:29,800 –> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 2: who can kind of be a chess piece along the

479
00:22:31,920 –> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: defensive front. And that’s Turk Wharton. I mean, he can

480
00:22:34,480 –> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: play the three techts where he normally is, but you

481
00:22:36,960 –> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 2: can line him up over the nose. He could be

482
00:22:39,119 –> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: an end in a three man front and even line

483
00:22:41,359 –> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: up as an edge outside in a four man front,

484
00:22:43,920 –> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: So he can do a little bit of everything. The

485
00:22:46,160 –> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: largest legs and quads I have ever seen on a human

486
00:22:49,119 –> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: being during training camp, he gets like nine egg oblets.

487
00:22:52,840 –> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: But it’s paying off glad to have Turk Wharton back

488
00:22:55,160 –> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: in casey.

489
00:22:56,200 –> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: And he makes an explosive. He can make a flash play.

490
00:22:58,440 –> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: Now you go back to his Washington game twenty one,

491
00:23:01,480 –> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: that’s as big time of play as you would want.

492
00:23:04,240 –> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 2: Interception.

493
00:23:04,840 –> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was awesome. I mean and for a defensive

494
00:23:07,000 –> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: lineman to make that play. Yeah. And so he has

495
00:23:10,400 –> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: the ability athletic ability to make a play like that.

496
00:23:13,640 –> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: We’ve seen him do it time and again. And yes,

497
00:23:15,960 –> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: you miners and you engineers and architects and from Missouri

498
00:23:19,160 –> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: s and t in Rala, your only player to ever

499
00:23:22,200 –> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: make the NFL is a very very valuable player signed

500
00:23:25,560 –> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: in the second wave here of free agency in the

501
00:23:29,040 –> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: twenty twenty fourth season. Then you also lose guys in

502
00:23:32,400 –> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: this time. Jody Fortson is now Miami Dolphin. And you

503
00:23:36,320 –> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: and I both were you know, loved Jody, and gosh,

504
00:23:39,760 –> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: there was just such potential there. It was just a

505
00:23:41,600 –> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: matter of staying healthy. We wish him the best in Miami.

506
00:23:44,080 –> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 2: Very similar deal to what we were saying about Turk Wharton.

507
00:23:46,480 –> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 2: Every training camp we’d watch Jody and he’s the ultimate

508
00:23:49,720 –> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: example of the guy that put the work in and

509
00:23:53,600 –> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: wasn’t in the limelight early on, but was committed to

510
00:23:57,200 –> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: being here and committed to being the best player he

511
00:23:59,000 –> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: could be on the practice squad for a couple of years,

512
00:24:02,160 –> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 2: and then to earn your shot and to make the

513
00:24:03,920 –> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 2: team out of training camp. That’s what it’s all about,

514
00:24:06,520 –> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: and Jody helped us win over the years. Wishing him

515
00:24:09,359 –> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: nothing but the best in Miami. Sometimes when you’ve had injuries,

516
00:24:12,080 –> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 2: it’s a good chance for you to get off to

517
00:24:15,720 –> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: a fresh start in a new place. And I’m hopeful

518
00:24:17,800 –> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: that he can have a great rest of his career.

519
00:24:19,200 –> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: But Jody’s an awesome guy, an awesome player, and wish

520
00:24:22,040 –> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: him nothing but.

521
00:24:22,680 –> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: The best, absolutely, And then we’ll close out this way.

522
00:24:25,600 –> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: The other part of the second wave kind of leads

523
00:24:27,840 –> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: into a third wave, and the third wave, we’re kind

524
00:24:32,520 –> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: of will enter this over the next several weeks, and

525
00:24:34,720 –> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: then maybe the third wave b would be after the

526
00:24:38,600 –> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: June one cuts, because then there’s a whole bunch of

527
00:24:41,240 –> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 1: dudes that kind of come flying out there. But let

528
00:24:42,880 –> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 1: me just give you some examples of guys who have

529
00:24:44,760 –> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: not been signed and have are just out there or

530
00:24:48,600 –> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: outlight out, light outright released that not saying they will.

531
00:24:53,240 –> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: But just just think about these guys a second. I

532
00:24:55,840 –> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: got like Max Sharp ring in Cincinnati. Now I’m talking

533
00:24:59,720 –> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: about guy who would play obviously fitting the cap, would

534
00:25:03,119 –> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: be your sub offensive lineman. Now Mike Kellyando is back

535
00:25:07,800 –> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: on the roster, but to lose Nick Alighretty is to

536
00:25:10,720 –> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: lose basically your sixth man in basketball, so valuable. It

537
00:25:13,920 –> 00:25:16,239
Speaker 1: can could play center, garden, tackle, and then we saw

538
00:25:16,320 –> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: him big man touchdown. He can be tackle over tackle.

539
00:25:19,000 –> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: That role has to be filled going into the twenty

540
00:25:21,840 –> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: twenty fourth season. But I’m just giving you examples of

541
00:25:24,680 –> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: veterans who are out there who the Chiefs who down

542
00:25:28,280 –> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: through the years have been able to pick up and

543
00:25:30,560 –> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: get under, you know, team friendly contracts. Another one is

544
00:25:33,760 –> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: a native of Abilene, Kansas, and he was a great

545
00:25:36,760 –> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: player for the Bears, but Cody Whitehair was released. Now

546
00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: Cody Whitehair can play center and guard, super smart and tough,

547
00:25:45,440 –> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: and I was just looking at how many starts he had,

548
00:25:48,640 –> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: like eighty eight starts maybe with the Chicago Bears. But

549
00:25:52,760 –> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: he’s out there just waiting for someone to take him.

550
00:25:56,000 –> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: Another case staters Dalton Reisner. Now Minnesota may take him back.

551
00:26:00,000 –> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: Remember he was in Denver as a longtime starter, but

552
00:26:02,680 –> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: he’s a guy that’s there unsigned. And then defensively, well,

553
00:26:05,680 –> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: another offensive lineman, Max Garcia of New Orleans was with

554
00:26:09,480 –> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: New Orleans, played for Denver sixty three starts. But a

555
00:26:12,400 –> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: guy that could be a backup center guard or become

556
00:26:16,119 –> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: the sixth man or seventh man on your offensive line

557
00:26:18,480 –> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: as a veteran presence and can be more help maybe

558
00:26:22,320 –> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: for a one year Morris and then a defensive player’s

559
00:26:24,160 –> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: a manual log. But old friend, old friend, he’s at

560
00:26:27,359 –> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Man, he was a big part of this team,

561
00:26:30,720 –> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: got hurt that season, but he’s out there now. Will

562
00:26:34,480 –> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: he be resigned by Miami don’t know. But that’s an

563
00:26:37,200 –> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: example of the second wave that leads into a third

564
00:26:40,359 –> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: wave of free agency. That it’s almost like the second

565
00:26:42,920 –> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: day of the draft and the third day. We got

566
00:26:44,359 –> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: all hyped up about the first day, and then the

567
00:26:47,480 –> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: value comes in the second and third day. Well, many

568
00:26:50,240 –> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: times of the value in free agency comes in this

569
00:26:53,160 –> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: second wave or third wave.

570
00:26:54,680 –> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: And in both instances, whether it be the second wave

571
00:26:57,119 –> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: or third wave of free agency and the latter days

572
00:26:59,240 –> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: of the draft, that’s where you become a champion. In

573
00:27:02,280 –> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: my opinion, because we have our big money, big ticket

574
00:27:06,840 –> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: guys already. It’s a matter of supplementing those players with

575
00:27:10,880 –> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 2: players around them who can help push you over the top.

576
00:27:13,480 –> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 2: And we’ve done that in recent years really well. To

577
00:27:16,200 –> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: your point, how about signing Donovan Smith on May fourth

578
00:27:19,320 –> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: last year, or Richie James on April eleventh, even bringing

579
00:27:22,840 –> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: back guys from last year. Jared McKinnon didn’t resign until

580
00:27:25,600 –> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: May second, Justin Watson has resigned on April fourteenth. Dean

581
00:27:29,560 –> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: Bush joined this team on April third. So I mean,

582
00:27:32,760 –> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 2: we all fall into the trap of watching the first

583
00:27:35,080 –> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: week of free agency, and some teams throw so much

584
00:27:37,600 –> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 2: money around and bring in a whole bunch of players,

585
00:27:39,680 –> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 2: and that’s exciting. That’s exciting for those teams, But for

586
00:27:42,440 –> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, they found a way to kind of pick

587
00:27:44,560 –> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: their spots, and in this case, Hollywood Brown was that

588
00:27:47,200 –> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: big guy that they brought in during the first week

589
00:27:49,640 –> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: of free agency. But just because that first week is

590
00:27:52,080 –> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: over doesn’t mean that Brett Viach is done, doesn’t mean

591
00:27:54,720 –> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: that this team is a finished product by any means,

592
00:27:56,800 –> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: because you kind of survey the landscape, see who’s still

593
00:27:59,760 –> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 2: out there, see who maybe didn’t get that huge deal

594
00:28:01,920 –> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: they were expecting. Drew Trankl was a great example of that.

595
00:28:04,600 –> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: Last year.

596
00:28:05,080 –> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 2: He’s talked about it like the linebacker market fell a

597
00:28:07,240 –> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: certain way. The Chiefs were looking for a linebacker, and

598
00:28:10,040 –> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 2: he’s like, I’m gonna go to Kansas City and hopefully

599
00:28:11,880 –> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: win a Super Bowl, and look what happened. It was

600
00:28:13,480 –> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 2: a great investment on his part. So if you’re one

601
00:28:16,040 –> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 2: of those players that are still out there obviously looking

602
00:28:19,400 –> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: for a job, the Chiefs are a team that’s so

603
00:28:22,119 –> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: good at again seeing what’s out there after that first

604
00:28:25,680 –> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: wave and figuring out what makes the most sense. I’m

605
00:28:27,960 –> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: excited to see what happens.

606
00:28:29,240 –> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it’s why I use the offensive line not

607
00:28:31,520 –> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: the sexiest conversation among football fans always, but we also

608
00:28:35,200 –> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: know Coachriid always talks about the trenches and look good

609
00:28:38,320 –> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: this offensive line has been in these back to back

610
00:28:40,080 –> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship years. There’s only eight offensive linemen on

611
00:28:43,080 –> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: the roster right now, okay, and to lose what we lost,

612
00:28:47,880 –> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: That’s why I’m saying this second and third wave becomes

613
00:28:51,600 –> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 1: very important for that room in particular, because you know

614
00:28:54,320 –> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: you’ll draft to that room, but who’s out there that

615
00:28:56,400 –> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: you can get as a value pick who becomes possibly

616
00:28:59,200 –> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: the Drew Treng of twenty twenty four for the offensive line.

617
00:29:02,960 –> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: And that’s why Brettviach makes the money that he does.

618
00:29:05,640 –> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: That’s why he’s the best GM in the game is

619
00:29:07,800 –> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: he finds those guys. And what’s so fun to learn

620
00:29:10,200 –> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: about with our scouting department is how they are working

621
00:29:13,320 –> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 2: year round on that kind of stuff. I mean, they

622
00:29:15,320 –> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 2: have lists of guys at all times, like these guys

623
00:29:17,480 –> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 2: are available. These guys are players that we’ve been interested

624
00:29:19,680 –> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: in for a long time. And it’s no mistake that

625
00:29:22,480 –> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: Hollywood talked about this, that the Chiefs were interested in

626
00:29:25,200 –> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: him during the draft back in twenty nineteen and it

627
00:29:28,880 –> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: didn’t work out. But all these years later, you remember that,

628
00:29:31,800 –> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: You remember that Hollywood Brown is a player that we

629
00:29:33,640 –> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: were interested in. And that’s the case as well for

630
00:29:36,320 –> 00:29:39,960
Speaker 2: free agents that are around. It’s still available around this time.

631
00:29:40,480 –> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 2: You can think, hey, maybe last year we were interested

632
00:29:42,560 –> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: in that guy didn’t work out, but he’s out there

633
00:29:44,440 –> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: right now. That’s where the comprehensive outlook that our scouting

634
00:29:48,320 –> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 2: department has is so important.

635
00:29:50,760 –> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: And our scouting department includes the pro personnel staff. We

636
00:29:53,840 –> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: don’t talk about them as much. We talked more about

637
00:29:56,120 –> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: the college guys, and but you look at a tim

638
00:29:58,680 –> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: Terry and the guys that work on that pro side.

639
00:30:01,000 –> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: We crop dust this right, we look at it and

640
00:30:03,320 –> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: then move on to the other thousand things we have

641
00:30:05,120 –> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: to do. They live it. Oh yeah, and they’ve got

642
00:30:07,240 –> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: the little man. I mean, they’ve got the room up

643
00:30:08,880 –> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: there with they you know, they’re probably chuckling at me

644
00:30:11,360 –> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: mentioned these offensive linemen. They go, well, there’s like fifty

645
00:30:14,040 –> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: five others. But those are just examples of how the

646
00:30:16,640 –> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: second wave and third wave. To your point, and we’ll

647
00:30:19,680 –> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: put is how you win championships. So pay attention to

648
00:30:23,440 –> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: the second wave and the third wave of free agency. Plus,

649
00:30:28,560 –> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: we’ve had chiefs that have gone to Hollywood, but now

650
00:30:31,360 –> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: Hollywood comes to the chiefs.
