‘The Plant Shutdown’ – Training Camp Preview | Defending The Kingdom

1
00:00:00,240 –> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: The NFL has become a league always full of drama.

2
00:00:02,680 –> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: The world now loves the National Football League. Incredible games.

3
00:00:06,800 –> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: It’s the best reality show there is. And then the

4
00:00:09,560 –> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: playoffs and then the Super Bowl. Oh wait a minute,

5
00:00:12,680 –> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Then it’s free agency. Then it’s the draft, then it’s

6
00:00:16,239 –> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: OTA’s Then it’s the schedule release, then it’s many camps,

7
00:00:19,840 –> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: and then there’s a nap. The NFL takes a nap.

8
00:00:23,000 –> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: It is the plant shutdown. And that’s where we’re going

9
00:00:26,079 –> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: on this unique version of defending the Kingdom. And it’s

10
00:00:28,800 –> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: all brought to you by Ticketmaster. McKinnon is in at

11
00:00:33,240 –> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: running back, first down and goal to go, play action,

12
00:00:35,640 –> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: fake right side doll, touchdown, dudes on city, hook Toal Hartman,

13
00:00:41,720 –> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: hook Toll Hartman? What the catch on the right side?

14
00:00:46,600 –> 00:00:50,959
Speaker 1: A three yard touchdown? Passing over time? How everyone? I’m

15
00:00:50,960 –> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: Mitchelta’s voice of the Chiefs, along with senior team reporter

16
00:00:54,200 –> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: Matt McMullen. Okay, and Andy Reid’s words. It’s fast and furious.

17
00:00:58,880 –> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: It reaches a whole other level, and the playoffs and

18
00:01:01,160 –> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: a whole nother another level in the Super Bowl, and

19
00:01:03,760 –> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: then the off season really isn’t off. It’s just a

20
00:01:06,040 –> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: non playing season. But here we are in the NFL’s

21
00:01:09,400 –> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: version of a nap or plant shutdown.

22
00:01:11,840 –> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: And it’s kind of a strange feeling, isn’t it.

23
00:01:13,680 –> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: Really.

24
00:01:14,000 –> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: For the last two years we’re going one hundred miles

25
00:01:16,560 –> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: an hour, like NonStop, and in the latest season, we’re

26
00:01:19,200 –> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: going one hundred miles an hour since around mid July.

27
00:01:22,560 –> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: And then, like you said, we get to the Super

28
00:01:24,880 –> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: Bowl euphoria of all of that. Immediately after the Super

29
00:01:28,319 –> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 2: Bowl we’re headed to the Combine, We’re doing free agency stuff,

30
00:01:31,840 –> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 2: the draft happens, all the post draft stuff, recking mining camp,

31
00:01:35,240 –> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: OTAs manatory mini camp, and then nothing. Then just one day,

32
00:01:39,760 –> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: everything falls off a cliff. There’s just nothing going on.

33
00:01:42,160 –> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: And it’s this way for about three weeks until training

34
00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: camp starts up in mid July. But got to try

35
00:01:49,120 –> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 2: to relax a little bit, right, enjoy this time, enjoy

36
00:01:52,080 –> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: the boredom of it all. Maybe we’ll go on vacation,

37
00:01:54,840 –> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: because before we know it, we’re right back at it.

38
00:01:57,440 –> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, when the lights come on, man, it’s just

39
00:01:59,720 –> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: like turning on a blast furnace. But it also gives

40
00:02:02,920 –> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: me a chance to give salute out to oh places

41
00:02:05,640 –> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: like the clay coma auto plant or the plan in

42
00:02:10,360 –> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: Fairfax where it never shuts down. There’s three shifts going

43
00:02:14,280 –> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: all the time, right, it just every day becomes another day.

44
00:02:18,160 –> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: And then there’s the times they have to shut it

45
00:02:20,240 –> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: down to do maintenance or whatever. Same thing with agriculture,

46
00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: like they go, hey, you take a vacation when you’re

47
00:02:26,040 –> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: in agriculture. Yeah, but somebody else has to do the work.

48
00:02:28,960 –> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: The work doesn’t stop. As Andy Reid says so very well,

49
00:02:31,800 –> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: a farmer’s work is never done. But that’s the way

50
00:02:35,200 –> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: the NFL is until this time, and it’s just this

51
00:02:37,600 –> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: brief respite. But we’re going to dive in to how

52
00:02:41,960 –> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: you handle that. Also what we’re excited about going into

53
00:02:45,680 –> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: training camp which will start very soon, and then maybe

54
00:02:48,680 –> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: our concerns going into training camp. But before we do

55
00:02:51,280 –> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: any of that, we’re going to go off the rails

56
00:02:53,960 –> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: in this addition of defending the Kingdom, and let’s start

57
00:02:56,240 –> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 1: by going around the world.

58
00:02:57,639 –> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 2: Yep, let’s do it before we do one quick bit

59
00:03:00,840 –> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: if you really think about it, because of the seventeen

60
00:03:03,200 –> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: game season now in the super Bowl being a week later,

61
00:03:06,080 –> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: we just completed the two shortest off seasons for a

62
00:03:08,720 –> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: team in NFL history. We had the shortest one two

63
00:03:11,639 –> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 2: years ago and then just did it all again because

64
00:03:13,760 –> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 2: we played in the Super Bowl and won the Super

65
00:03:15,520 –> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Bowl both years. So something else not easy to do,

66
00:03:19,160 –> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: to really have virtually no off season and then to

67
00:03:21,960 –> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: go do it again. But the Chiefs did it last year,

68
00:03:23,639 –> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: and let’s go do it once again. Got five around

69
00:03:26,720 –> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 2: the worlds for you today. So I met Bird of

70
00:03:29,120 –> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown. Yes for Hollywood Brown, who were you’re very

71
00:03:31,600 –> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 2: excited about? Oh boy, Mitch and I watched OTAs we’re

72
00:03:34,400 –> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: fired up about Hollywood Brown.

73
00:03:35,680 –> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: I’ll leave it at that.

74
00:03:37,160 –> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: But I met Burdo at a hardware store on Thursday,

75
00:03:40,600 –> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: So this is kind of funny. So I had some

76
00:03:42,960 –> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: friends come in town over the weekend and we redid

77
00:03:46,080 –> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 2: our basement. We don’t spend a ton of time down

78
00:03:48,760 –> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: there though, Like it’s finished, but I don’t like use

79
00:03:51,720 –> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: the shower down there, right, and my friends are going

80
00:03:53,800 –> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: to stay down there. And I tried out the shower

81
00:03:56,280 –> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: for the first time and it’s great, but it like

82
00:03:59,040 –> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: leaked quite a bit at the base. So I went

83
00:04:01,880 –> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: up to the hardware store to get like I never

84
00:04:04,680 –> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: really didn’t know what I needed. Actually at the time

85
00:04:07,000 –> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: like some kind of celant to try to fix the leak.

86
00:04:10,000 –> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: And I walked in and Berto said, Hi, he didn’t work.

87
00:04:13,280 –> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: There, but uh yeah, he huge fan. He’s nothing good fellas.

88
00:04:20,080 –> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: I don’t know.

89
00:04:20,440 –> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: I don’t think so. He’s pretty young, so probably not.

90
00:04:22,120 –> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: It could be a descendant, but anyway, he immediately asked

91
00:04:25,800 –> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: what I was there for and then found someone to

92
00:04:27,640 –> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: help me get the ceilant. So shout out to you, Burdo.

93
00:04:29,960 –> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: I got it figured out. It’s still kind of leaked,

94
00:04:31,800 –> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: but it was better than when it worked. Kind of okay,

95
00:04:34,520 –> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 2: kind of which I’ll take kind of in this instance.

96
00:04:37,080 –> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 2: I met Nick at Jazzuo earlier this month. So many

97
00:04:40,920 –> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: of you know my wife works at the zoo and

98
00:04:42,480 –> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: Jazzu is the big zoo fundraiser. It’s fun for me

99
00:04:45,640 –> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: because it’s the one instance or like roles reverse and

100
00:04:49,040 –> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, she gets to go to the games and

101
00:04:50,320 –> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: tailgate and have fun and all this stuff while we’re working.

102
00:04:53,400 –> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: And I got to go to jazz dud and to

105
00:04:59,320 –> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 2: awesome the case, he was awesome. If you haven’t had

106
00:05:01,080 –> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: a chance to get out there. Heard from Ethan wrote

107
00:05:04,200 –> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: in from the Lake of the Ozarks, busy time for

108
00:05:06,080 –> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 2: the Lake of the Ozarks. We heard from Nicky. Nicky

109
00:05:09,000 –> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: listens every week. She wrote in that her mom and

110
00:05:11,640 –> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: her used to drive through Smith Center at least six

111
00:05:13,880 –> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 2: times a year while going back and forth to Colorado.

112
00:05:16,640 –> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: Okay, on the Highway thirty six. Where does Nicky live? So?

113
00:05:20,080 –> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: I believe she’s somewhere in Missouri now, so somewhere along

114
00:05:24,560 –> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 2: thirty six, but I think chili coffee. Yeah, I’ll have

115
00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: to find out. She’s written in before Hannibal.

116
00:05:28,960 –> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: I want to say Hannibal, Yeah, but I’m not certain.

117
00:05:30,920 –> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: Right on thirty six anyway, that’s like the scenic route,

118
00:05:33,279 –> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: right if you want to go through Smith’s Center, because

119
00:05:35,320 –> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: whenever I go out there, we just drive like through

120
00:05:37,200 –> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: Hayes and like Colby.

121
00:05:40,240 –> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: Okay, you got to think outside the box. You don’t

122
00:05:43,000 –> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: go through Hazen. You can go through Hazen Colby every

123
00:05:45,200 –> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: now and then through Joachini, which is one of your

124
00:05:47,360 –> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: dad’s favorite towns, home of the Golden Eagles. Uh huh,

125
00:05:49,960 –> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: go thirty six. It’s yeah, it’s historic. It’s the Butterfield

126
00:05:54,560 –> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: Stage Trail. It’s pretty cool.

127
00:05:56,240 –> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: Okay, I’ll have to check it out. Lastly heard from

128
00:05:59,600 –> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: Jimmy in Sedalia. He coined it the official Chiefs Crossroads

129
00:06:03,279 –> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: of Highways fifty and sixty five of the two highways,

130
00:06:06,400 –> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 2: and he added tell Mitch High.

131
00:06:08,400 –> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Oh well, that leads me into three that I have.

132
00:06:12,800 –> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: One is from a very notable architect. He’s one of

133
00:06:16,480 –> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: the best architects in the Chief Kingdom. And he wrote

134
00:06:18,560 –> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: me a handwritten note. It was for cans end of

135
00:06:20,480 –> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: the year, and it really nice. Of course on brown paper.

136
00:06:23,360 –> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: It’s like this is that’s how architects do it. And

137
00:06:26,720 –> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: then the architect writing, you know. But his name is

138
00:06:29,640 –> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: Joel Perry. Good dude. But I had his share of

139
00:06:32,520 –> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: this because it was very nice and complimentary. But he

140
00:06:34,920 –> 00:06:39,719

00:06:41,880 –> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: Here’s another one. This is another one. Patrick Maher was

143
00:06:45,480 –> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: involved in some production I was doing, and I’m sure

144
00:06:47,720 –> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: he wants to be part of the Irish Brigade, but

145
00:06:49,880 –> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: he goes, Man, I’m just a DTK junkie. Tell Matt High. Wow,

Speaker 1: make sure you tell Matt High. Hello. We’re so hi

Speaker 1: to Matt. And then another crew. This was really a

148
00:06:59,440 –> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: wild crew. This was at the Trent Green Golf tournament

149
00:07:03,520 –> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: for Ronald McDonald Hou’s charities. They are from Albany, Missouri,

150

Speaker 1: the Warriors, Polo Missouri, the Panthers and Parkway West Saint Louis,

151
00:07:11,480 –> 00:07:16,680

272

Speaker 2: we’re playing every day of the week except for Tuesday.

273
00:13:18,679 –> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: For those of you are still with us listening to

274
00:13:20,480 –> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: this podcast, realize this is the one we call the

275
00:13:23,280 –> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: plant shutdown, which is where Andy Reid at the end

276
00:13:27,160 –> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 1: of the mini camp gives the exhortation and then the

277
00:13:30,040 –> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: guys scatter and the coaches get some time. And you

278
00:13:32,800 –> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: know who really gets the time that I love this

279
00:13:34,760 –> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: time of year because they never get time. And go

280
00:13:37,280 –> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: back to what it was about six weeks ago when

281
00:13:39,320 –> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: we did the one on the scouts. You did an

282
00:13:41,200 –> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: awesome job on that. This is the only time the

283
00:13:43,960 –> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: scouts really get you realize that pretty much. Yeah, cause

284
00:13:46,520 –> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: the coaches will have a week in like in February,

285
00:13:49,200 –> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: not the scouts. They’re having a meeting the day after

286
00:13:51,800 –> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: we have a Super Bowl parade. But this is the

287
00:13:53,920 –> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: time of year they get to shut down with their families,

288
00:13:55,760 –> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: and I’m so excited for them because, like bread Veach

289
00:13:58,520 –> 00:14:01,199
Speaker 1: and his crew, all right, nothing’s happening, there’s nothing you

290
00:14:01,280 –> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: can do, nobody else is doing anything else. Just shut

291
00:14:04,040 –> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: down and get ready to go. And the scouts are

292
00:14:06,720 –> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: about to get going.

293
00:14:08,240 –> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: I mean, their time off is really brief because they

294
00:14:10,960 –> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: scatter all over the country and they’re going to They’ll

295
00:14:14,800 –> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: be at training camp briefly, but then they go to

296
00:14:16,400 –> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 2: different schools all over the country and their regions, and

297
00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: then we won’t hear from them until December January. I mean,

298
00:14:23,800 –> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: they’re doing reports, they’re going to games, meeting the coaches,

299
00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 2: forming relationships with the players, getting to know them. So

300
00:14:30,720 –> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: when maybe one or two of the guys in their

301
00:14:33,440 –> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: region is in the range where the Chiefs might draft them,

302
00:14:37,360 –> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: they’ll know everything there is to know about that player.

303
00:14:39,880 –> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: And it’s just incredible. It seems kind of obvious that

304
00:14:42,240 –> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: you’d have these guys dedicated to scouting all over the

305
00:14:46,320 –> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 2: country and they should have all this great information, but

306
00:14:48,800 –> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: these are human beings and not every team has the

307
00:14:51,400 –> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: scouting staff that we do. I mean, they’re just incredible,

308
00:14:53,800 –> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: and just to talk to them and get to know

309
00:14:55,520 –> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 2: them a little bit at the combine earlier this year

310
00:14:58,120 –> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: was really really cool. My favorite thing is I saw

311
00:15:00,920 –> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: a few of them at the ring ceremony. And for

312
00:15:03,520 –> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 2: those guys that pour so much of their life into

313
00:15:07,040 –> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: a relatively thankless job, I mean their names. If you’re

314
00:15:09,800 –> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: not one of the top guys in the front office,

315
00:15:11,960 –> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: a lot of fans don’t know their names, but they

316
00:15:13,920 –> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: dedicate everything they have to finding the next George Carloftis

317
00:15:17,600 –> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: or Nick Bolton or Patrick Mahomes or whoever. They have

318
00:15:21,120 –> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: their fingerprints all over the back to back champions And

319
00:15:24,360 –> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: for them to experience the ring ceremony, to get their ring,

320
00:15:26,640 –> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 2: and to just enjoy it with everyone, to be a

321
00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 2: part of the team together, not necessarily off wherever the

322
00:15:31,680 –> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 2: region is, it’s pretty cool. So we appreciate all of

323
00:15:35,560 –> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: our scouts. The Kingdom appreciates them, and they’re a big

324
00:15:38,320 –> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: reason why we’re going for a three peete this year.

325
00:15:40,320 –> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Unforgettable moment leaving Allegiance Stadium. We’re going to the party,

326
00:15:44,440 –> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: right the postgame party, and I get on the bus

327
00:15:48,320 –> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 1: and I’m surrounded by all the scouts and it was

328
00:15:50,840 –> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: just an incredible moment because it’s that what you were mentioning,

329
00:15:53,560 –> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: they got a chance to kind of see the fruits

330
00:15:56,560 –> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: of their labor, and immediately then in the twenty four season,

331
00:16:01,320 –> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: we’re going we’re going for it again. We have a

332
00:16:03,360 –> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: shot at this of getting a three peat. So you

333
00:16:07,440 –> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: can screw up this time. If you’re a player, that’s

334
00:16:09,760 –> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: the exhortation from Andy Reid. You have to stay in

335
00:16:13,160 –> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: some semblance of shape because the way they end ota

336
00:16:15,760 –> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: is is fairly intense, and he’s like, this is the

337
00:16:18,160 –> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: way we’re going to start the time in Saint Joseph.

338
00:16:20,800 –> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: So we’ve seen players that get hurt actually during this time,

339
00:16:23,600 –> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: either lifting wrong or because their back in their home

340
00:16:26,760 –> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: areas with their families or with their own trainers and such.

341
00:16:29,920 –> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: And we’ve seen players stay honed, or we see players

342
00:16:34,080 –> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: that can kind of goof it up. So the coach

343
00:16:37,360 –> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: gives the message strong and then you let them go

344
00:16:39,960 –> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: and hope when they come back they’re ready to go.

345
00:16:42,400 –> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: And there’s really two elements to it. There’s the physical

346
00:16:44,400 –> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: element and the mental element. So on one end, there’s

347
00:16:48,200 –> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: no easing into it. There is on one hand, like

348
00:16:51,040 –> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: they’re not wearing pads right away when they get to camp,

349
00:16:53,360 –> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: they’re still kind of doing the ramp up into pads,

350
00:16:57,000 –> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: but in terms of the conditioning affected to be ready

351
00:17:00,840 –> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: to go on day one, which is July twenty first,

352
00:17:05,240 –> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 2: is the first day open to fans. That’s the first

353
00:17:07,240 –> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: practice with all the players. The rookies will be there

354
00:17:10,080 –> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: a little bit before that, but on July twenty one,

355
00:17:12,080 –> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: they’re expected to be ready to go. Conditioning wise, there’s

356
00:17:15,440 –> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: no easing into it, so you got to make sure

357
00:17:17,359 –> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 2: you stay in shape. But also from a mental perspective,

358
00:17:20,119 –> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: their retention is a really big deal, and that’s intentional

359
00:17:22,960 –> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 2: from coach Reid because when you’re trying to figure out

360
00:17:24,920 –> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: who’s going to make the team, part of that is

361
00:17:26,960 –> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: who could retain the information from OTAs in Many camp

362
00:17:30,440 –> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: and then carry that into training camp, because the first

363
00:17:32,520 –> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: few days of training camp are essentially a review of

364
00:17:35,480 –> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: OTAs in Many camp. But it’s not meant to hold

365
00:17:38,080 –> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 2: their hand. It’s meant to see who remembers what we

366
00:17:40,000 –> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 2: did four weeks ago, and the players that do are

367
00:17:42,200 –> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: going to separate themselves. So it should be interesting to

368
00:17:44,880 –> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: see the mental and the physical component here in Saint

369
00:17:48,440 –> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: Joe in just a few weeks for some of these rookies,

370
00:17:51,359 –> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 2: udfas and players trying to make the team.

371
00:17:53,920 –> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: And some will fail the physical test and they get

372
00:17:58,560 –> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: to go to Camp Snoopy for a while. We’ll swim

373
00:18:01,000 –> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: over and Snoopy getting ready to go. So those of you,

374
00:18:04,080 –> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: of our players are out there who are DTK followers,

375
00:18:07,560 –> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: just stay in shape and stay sharp mentally and get

376
00:18:10,200 –> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: after it. So we’re gonna talk about here what excites

377
00:18:13,640 –> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: you about this team? And I’ll give you what I

378
00:18:15,160 –> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 1: think excites me about the twenty twenty four season. I

379
00:18:17,920 –> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: speak a lot publicly across the country, as you know,

380
00:18:20,680 –> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: and I get asked all the time, all the time,

381
00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: all the time. And yes, there’s a real chance for

382
00:18:24,280 –> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: this team to make history. They can go back to

383
00:18:26,040 –> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: back to back. Oh yeah, And we’re not saying that

384
00:18:28,119 –> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: to be arrogant. We’re just telling you that if you

385
00:18:31,600 –> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: have seen what Matt and I have seen the last

386
00:18:33,720 –> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 1: seventy five to ninety days, it’s there and it’s going

387
00:18:37,600 –> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: to be hard. It’s a long climb up the mountain,

388
00:18:40,520 –> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: but this team is poised to do it. So what

389
00:18:42,359 –> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 1: excites you most about this team while we’re in the

390
00:18:44,960 –> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: plant shutdown, getting everything cleaned and polished and get ready

391
00:18:47,920 –> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: to go again.

392
00:18:48,920 –> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: Well, there’s a lot of things I give you two

393
00:18:50,720 –> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: quick ones. So one is the added athleticism wide receiver.

394
00:18:55,680 –> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: Adding Hollywood Brown Xavier Worthy specifically is really exciting for

395
00:19:00,200 –> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of reasons.

396
00:19:00,960 –> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: We could do a whole podcast on it.

397
00:19:02,680 –> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: But you add legitimate deep vertical speed that the defense

398
00:19:07,560 –> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 2: has to respect, but also the ability to run the

399
00:19:09,720 –> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: full route tree with those players. They’re not just players

400
00:19:12,359 –> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 2: that can only run vertical routes, and we’ve seen that

401
00:19:14,880 –> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: throughout their careers as if you’re worthy of course at

402
00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: the hamstring injury during OTAs, but we saw it in

403
00:19:19,920 –> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: rookie mini camp and we certainly saw it with Hollywood

404
00:19:22,280 –> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: throughout OTAs that they can run that deep route, but

405
00:19:25,080 –> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 2: they can also run the underneath stuff with the best

406
00:19:27,240 –> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: of them. So those two receivers, just throwing them in

407
00:19:29,760 –> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: the mix with what CoA Tried already has here in

408
00:19:31,440 –> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 2: Kansas City is super exciting. In a smaller storyline, but

409
00:19:34,960 –> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 2: one that shouldn’t be small is the return of Nazy

410
00:19:37,119 –> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: Johnson and Brian Cook in the secondary. So Nazy was

411
00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 2: going to I think have a really nice season last year.

412
00:19:42,760 –> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: He looked great in training camp, had a real shot

413
00:19:44,920 –> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: to be a real contributor defensively, towards ACL happened right

414
00:19:49,040 –> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: in front of us.

415
00:19:49,760 –> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: Awful.

416
00:19:50,240 –> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: You know, a good player that’s poured so much into

417
00:19:52,600 –> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: trying to earn a spot on this team, had really

418
00:19:55,280 –> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 2: been good on special teams, had a chance to play

419
00:19:56,920 –> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: on defense, got hurt. Well, he’s back, working his way

420
00:19:59,280 –> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: back to the field. I’m excited to see what he

421
00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: can do. And Brian Cook as well. You know, I

422
00:20:03,240 –> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: love Brian Cook, one of my favorite players in this team.

423
00:20:05,000 –> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 2: I love them when he was at the University of Cincinnati.

424
00:20:07,600 –> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 2: Had that awful injury in Green Bay. But he’s healthy now,

425
00:20:10,600 –> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 2: going to be ready to go hopefully for training camp.

426
00:20:12,880 –> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: This defense was so good last year and they’ve a

427
00:20:15,359 –> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: chance to be even better, I think because you’re adding

428
00:20:17,200 –> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: two very young, dynamic players to the secondary who were

429
00:20:20,080 –> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: very excited.

430
00:20:20,640 –> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: About I’m with they. A’ll tag on that the third

431
00:20:23,480 –> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: level of the offense is back open for business. We

432
00:20:26,560 –> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 1: saw that, you’ll see it in Saint Joseph. The third

433
00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: level is back open for business, and you’ve alluded to that.

434
00:20:32,000 –> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: The second thing is the tight end room to pick

435
00:20:34,560 –> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: up Jared Wiley from TCU is a big pickup. Noah

436
00:20:38,760 –> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: Gray is better, and then we know what Kelsey is

437
00:20:42,920 –> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: and what he can be That room of six dudes, well,

438
00:20:45,720 –> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: the Chiefs keep three four, we’ll see, but that group

439
00:20:49,320 –> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: is Kelsey’s best complimentary group he’s had here, and that’s

440
00:20:53,359 –> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: nothing against the other guys that have been here. Then

441
00:20:55,600 –> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: I’m with you. On defense, what we’ve been able to

442
00:20:57,480 –> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: see is I call it spegs Mary men of MANGI

443
00:21:00,920 –> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: mutts this defense could be really good yea, and be

444
00:21:05,280 –> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: even better than they were a year ago. And that’s exciting.

445
00:21:08,720 –> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: And I’m gonna throw in one because I wish we

446
00:21:11,080 –> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: could devote it entire We could devote two dtks to

447
00:21:14,320 –> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: This is the new kickoff rule, and you know, I’m

448
00:21:16,440 –> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: fired up about this. I started to dive into this

449
00:21:18,520 –> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: in the analytics. I really think I’m just gonna make

450
00:21:21,400 –> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: this quick. I really think the averages hold me to this.

451
00:21:24,240 –> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: The average start field position for any team in this

452
00:21:27,680 –> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: league with this new crazy kickoff rule, and folks, it’s crazy.

453
00:21:31,200 –> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: It’s weird to watch. Wait till you see it. You

454
00:21:33,560 –> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: ain’t even thinking about it. When you see it, you’ll

455
00:21:35,600 –> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: like flip out. I think the average start line of

456
00:21:39,600 –> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: scrimmage in the league will be somewhere like the thirty

457
00:21:42,440 –> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: one point two to eight yard line if the Chiefs

458
00:21:46,560 –> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: move up their starting average start of a drive at

459
00:21:51,400 –> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: that Last year, they scored fifty one percent of the

460
00:21:54,640 –> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: time they got the ball at the thirty or better,

461
00:21:57,040 –> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: seventeen touchdowns, sixteen field goals, and ten of those not

462
00:22:00,359 –> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: make it were kneel downs where they weren’t trying to score.

463
00:22:04,240 –> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: I’m just saying the new kickoff rule, which I thought

464
00:22:07,240 –> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: could hurt the better teams in the league because it

465
00:22:09,880 –> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: could be an equalizer, which I still think it will be,

466
00:22:12,640 –> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: could really help the Chiefs even more than the NFL

467
00:22:15,720 –> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: world knows. Stay tuned well.

468
00:22:18,160 –> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: For the teams that figure it out. If you couple

469
00:22:20,560 –> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: that with having Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, it becomes a

470
00:22:23,640 –> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: massive competitive advantage. I mean, on one end, if teams

471
00:22:27,800 –> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: don’t want to mess with it and they could get

472
00:22:29,280 –> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: out the back of the end zone that a touchback

473
00:22:31,320 –> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 2: now is at the thirty.

474
00:22:32,640 –> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: That’s five more yards and I’m telling you the numbers

475
00:22:35,160 –> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: go way up. Matt. Yeah.

476
00:22:36,240 –> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean it’s a whole play that you’re just giving away.

477
00:22:39,320 –> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 2: So you give Patrick Mahomes the ball at the thirty,

478
00:22:41,720 –> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: I like that a lot. Or if you take your

479
00:22:43,160 –> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: chances but if the Chiefs can figure it out and

480
00:22:45,560 –> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 2: be one of the better teams at it, they could

481
00:22:47,240 –> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: be starting at the thirty five, the forty even further.

482
00:22:51,000 –> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, just watching it in practice, it’s funky,

483
00:22:54,680 –> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: Like it’s gonna take some getting used to. And we

484
00:22:56,760 –> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: had a meeting earlier today with our preseason broadcast crew

485
00:23:00,119 –> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: trying to think of storylines, and it kind of hit

486
00:23:02,200 –> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: me like the kickoff is the storyline because it’s the

487
00:23:05,240 –> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 2: first chance that fans are going to have to see it,

488
00:23:07,080 –> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 2: and it’s just a little bit weird. If you watch

489
00:23:09,480 –> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: the XFL, you kind of saw it, but it’s it’s

490
00:23:11,880 –> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 2: not quite the XFL rule because one thing that makes

491
00:23:14,359 –> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 2: it unique it’s not when the ball is necessarily fielded

492
00:23:17,840 –> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: that the coverage team can move. It’s when the ball

493
00:23:20,119 –> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: hits the ground. That’s a big difference from the XFL rule.

494
00:23:23,160 –> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: So there’s so much strategy that goes into it, and frankly,

495
00:23:26,560 –> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 2: you don’t really know what the strategy is yet. Like

496
00:23:28,640 –> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 2: you can try a whole bunch of different things in practice,

497
00:23:30,480 –> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 2: but until you try them in games, you don’t really know.

498
00:23:33,040 –> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 2: So the preseason is going to be a great opportunity

499
00:23:35,160 –> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 2: to kind of test out what’s going to work during

500
00:23:37,720 –> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: the year and what players are going to be back there,

501
00:23:39,440 –> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: and also on coverage.

502
00:23:42,040 –> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: The best thing to do figuring in this out is

503
00:23:43,960 –> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: throw a back door slider because hang time does not

504
00:23:47,160 –> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: matter anymore, No, not at all. Hangtime is not a factor, folks.

505
00:23:50,359 –> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 1: You’re like, what it is not a factor because you

506
00:23:53,200 –> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: can’t leave until they get it and if you give

507
00:23:55,359 –> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 1: them a returnable kick where they can catch it clean,

508
00:23:58,000 –> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: it’s coming to the thirty five at least now. Think

509
00:24:00,359 –> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: about a twenty four to twenty game. I think it’s

510
00:24:02,200 –> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: the most impactful rule change mebi in league history. I

511
00:24:06,119 –> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: thought two point conversion. We talked about this as we

512
00:24:08,240 –> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 1: watched it not so much. I just think this could

513
00:24:11,440 –> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: be the most impactful rule change in the history of

514
00:24:13,600 –> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. Think about a twenty four to twenty game.

515
00:24:16,240 –> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: That would be our twenty four to twenty one game.

516
00:24:18,680 –> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: That’s seven kickoffs in scoring, that’s the start of the game.

517
00:24:21,840 –> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 1: That’s nine kickoffs, which you count halftime, nine chances for

518
00:24:25,440 –> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: the game to be dramatically changed. Where up to this point,

519
00:24:28,520 –> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: or at least in recent years, it’s a no play.

520
00:24:31,080 –> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: It’s just on. It is on, and the teams that

521
00:24:33,359 –> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: get it figured out. I can find the kicker that

522
00:24:35,119 –> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: can kick a non returnable kick that is this kind

523
00:24:38,720 –> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: of crazy looking kick that lands in that twenty to

524
00:24:42,200 –> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: zero area. Then, because if it goes into the end

525
00:24:45,520 –> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: zone and they can’t return it, it comes to the twenty.

526
00:24:47,240 –> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: That’s best case scenario. So I’m telling you, folks, just

527
00:24:50,680 –> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: hang in there with us. We’re going to fly through this.

528
00:24:52,840 –> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: But once you see it, you’re going to go, oh

529
00:24:54,200 –> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: my gosh, what is this? So what concerns you about

530
00:24:57,480 –> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 1: this team as we go into camp? We will close

531
00:24:59,080 –> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: it out this way.

532
00:25:00,080 –> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: And say concern But I think there are areas that

533
00:25:02,240 –> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 2: we maybe need some answers or there’s some competition at

534
00:25:05,600 –> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: and one of them would be left tackle. We don’t

535
00:25:07,760 –> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: know who the left tackle is going to be right now.

536
00:25:09,640 –> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 2: The good news is we have two candidates who are

537
00:25:11,480 –> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: young and who have a ton of potential who are

538
00:25:13,400 –> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: kind of battling for that role. So right now it

539
00:25:15,480 –> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 2: would be between Janier Morris and Kingsley’s Suamataia. Now, Wanier

540
00:25:19,600 –> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 2: had the four starts at left tackle late in the year,

541
00:25:22,119 –> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: and there was some really good stuff. There’s some stuff

542
00:25:24,240 –> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: that he could learn from, but I think that experience

543
00:25:26,280 –> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 2: is invaluable. A great opportunity for him during the year,

544
00:25:29,400 –> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 2: during a playoff run or a lead up at least

545
00:25:31,840 –> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 2: to a playoff run, to compete against some really good

546
00:25:34,280 –> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: edge rushers. And he came in in a Packers game

547
00:25:36,840 –> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 2: as well when Donovan Smith got hurt in the middle

548
00:25:38,720 –> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: of a game at lambeau Field and played pretty well

549
00:25:41,080 –> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: against some good edge rushers. So Janier Morris, it’s weird

550
00:25:44,680 –> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: calling him, I guess a veteran his second year in

551
00:25:46,560 –> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: the league, but he has a little bit more experience

552
00:25:48,200 –> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: at the pro level. Then Kingsley had a lot of

553
00:25:51,320 –> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: experience under his belt that both left and right tackle

554
00:25:54,000 –> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: at BYUW. Kingsley’s really young, He’s twenty one years old,

555
00:25:57,119 –> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: but potential through the roof camp is a great chance

556
00:26:00,600 –> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 2: for both of those guys to separate themselves and to

557
00:26:03,680 –> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: show that they should be the left tackle for this

558
00:26:05,920 –> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 2: year and maybe for the future. You can’t really evaluate

559
00:26:09,000 –> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 2: that during OTA’s he kind of can. They can go

560
00:26:11,520 –> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 2: out there and do mental reps, they can work on

561
00:26:13,960 –> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: their technique, but when the pads aren’t on, you can’t

562
00:26:17,160 –> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: truly evaluate offensive linemen. So I think going into training

563
00:26:21,080 –> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 2: camp watching that left tackle battle on those days where

564
00:26:23,960 –> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: they’re wearing pads, those are the days I’ll really be

565
00:26:26,280 –> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 2: locked in on.

566
00:26:26,800 –> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: I think mine would be on the defensive side, of course,

567
00:26:31,000 –> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: Lugarious Steed replacement, which looks like and it’s not a

568
00:26:33,680 –> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: one for one. Spags has a thousand new things, folks.

569
00:26:36,520 –> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: If you think you’ve seen it all, nope, Same with

570
00:26:38,720 –> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. It’s so exciting any Reid has been at work. Man. Yeah,

571
00:26:42,840 –> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: like the shortest offseason ever. Well for he and Spags,

572
00:26:45,440 –> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: they got a whole bunch more stuff you ain’t seen.

573
00:26:47,960 –> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: And on the defensive side, it’s not a one for

574
00:26:50,280 –> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: one for sneed, but Shamari Connor it’s going to be

575
00:26:53,680 –> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: big for him too, and that’s going to be something

576
00:26:56,840 –> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: to watch at camp. And then I would throw in

577
00:26:59,520 –> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: the third on back. Jeric McKinnon has been so impactful

578
00:27:03,080 –> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: for this team in these back to back Super Bowl championships.

579
00:27:06,320 –> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: He’s the guy they faked too on the final play

580
00:27:08,119 –> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: of the game, right and Bosa’s just reading him. He’s

581
00:27:10,160 –> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna jump on him because he’s so good. Has been

582
00:27:12,640 –> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: so good in the red zone. The slide at the

583
00:27:14,800 –> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: short of the end zone in Super Bowl fifty seven,

584
00:27:17,400 –> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: So who is that third down back I think comes

585
00:27:19,359 –> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: to mind. And then finally would be the new kickoff rule.

586
00:27:22,720 –> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: It’s also it could be a asset. He could also

587
00:27:26,680 –> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: be an equalizer. So now, all of a sudden, if

588
00:27:28,880 –> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: the other teams get this figured out and they put

589
00:27:31,400 –> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: you in a position where you have the best team,

590
00:27:33,480 –> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: but still of the nine kickoffs that could happen in

591
00:27:36,359 –> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: a game, they might do it better. So it’s it’s

592
00:27:40,520 –> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: so exciting and intriguing going into this year.

593
00:27:43,000 –> 00:27:44,239
Speaker 2: And I think the way you have to look at

594
00:27:44,240 –> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 2: all of those things is not necessarily one for one replacements,

595
00:27:47,600 –> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 2: like you said, And it’s an opportunity for new players

596
00:27:50,240 –> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: to maybe make their mark. And in the context of

597
00:27:53,480 –> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: lugeriusneed no longer being here and Jamari Connor maybe kind

598
00:27:56,560 –> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: of sliding into that slot role because Trent McDuffie’s gonna

599
00:27:59,000 –> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: bounce outside most of the time. Now, Trent mcduffee was

600
00:28:01,400 –> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 2: the best slot corner in the NFL last year. He’s

601
00:28:03,880 –> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 2: earned the opportunity to be outside. But who do you

602
00:28:05,960 –> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 2: put inside, Well, right now, it might be Jamari Connor.

603
00:28:08,960 –> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: You’re not asking Jamari Connor to be LJ. Snead you’re

604
00:28:11,960 –> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 2: asking him to be Jamari Connor and to help this

605
00:28:14,240 –> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 2: team win because of what he can add. And there’s

606
00:28:16,720 –> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 2: certain elements of last season that really impressed me with

607
00:28:18,920 –> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: Chamari that give me a confidence he can do that.

608
00:28:21,560 –> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 2: I mean, one hundred and forty five snaps out of

609
00:28:23,400 –> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 2: the slot last year, So he’s done it.

610
00:28:25,320 –> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: That’s good. It made some plays.

611
00:28:26,960 –> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 2: I mean, how about the pick against the Bills in

612
00:28:28,680 –> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: the regular season, huge play, game altering play in that one,

613
00:28:32,200 –> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: and also in the playoff game against the Bills. Played

614
00:28:34,880 –> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 2: seventy seven snaps in that game. He wasn’t supposed to, remember,

615
00:28:38,160 –> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: Mike Edwards got hurt like on the second play, Jamari

616
00:28:41,000 –> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 2: comes in and if you look at Pro Football Focus numbers,

617
00:28:43,640 –> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 2: he was like the Chief’s top graded defender in that game.

618
00:28:46,640 –> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: So Jamari showed some serious things last year and great chance,

619
00:28:51,000 –> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: a great opportunity for him in training camp to show

620
00:28:53,120 –> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 2: that he deserves to be a starter on this defense.

Speaker 1: Yeah, they did a lot of kind of different stuff

626
00:29:04,040 –> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 1: with him, so he came in a little bit ahead

627
00:29:06,800 –> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: of the curve. But I’m excited to see where that goes.
