23
00:01:11,319 –> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: the heat. So here we are, here, we are. I

24
00:01:13,680 –> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: was thinking about this.

25
00:01:14,720 –> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: So the heat index today is like well over one

26
00:01:17,560 –> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: hundred degrees. Let’s just say it’s at one hundred. Seven

27
00:01:20,920 –> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: months ago we were doing a field pass show for

28
00:01:23,200 –> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: the Wildcard round when it was minus twenty seven degree windshill.

29
00:01:27,120 –> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: So it’s like one hundred and thirty degrees warmer today

30
00:01:31,240 –> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: than it was that day. Think about that, and we’re

31
00:01:33,920 –> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: out here. We’re out here for the people. The two

32
00:01:35,640 –> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: Times have done a podcast up here. There’s been some

33
00:01:38,040 –> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: weather alert about the heat index. Tomorrow it’s going to

34
00:01:41,600 –> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: be like beautiful, like eighty one degrees. But it wouldn’t

35
00:01:44,480 –> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: be a true training camp podcast if we waited until tomorrow.

36
00:01:47,280 –> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: We have to do it in the heat.

37
00:01:48,600 –> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: You know, and you knew who had show no sympathy?

38
00:01:51,160 –> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: Who Coach Read? No, he wants this, Yeah, he wants this.

39
00:01:54,920 –> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: And the players have learned to use this because Coach

40
00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: Read is twenty seven and nine in September phenomenal in

41
00:02:02,160 –> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: his time as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.

42
00:02:04,040 –> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: His December record is actually better. So you start fast,

43
00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 1: finished strong, But how you build that endurance or days

44
00:02:10,000 –> 00:02:13,320

Speaker 3: This four state area is awesome.

53
00:02:37,400 –> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: I’ve been trying to rip off towns and speak about

54
00:02:39,639 –> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: Troy in Kansas, and northeast Kansas is right in there

55
00:02:43,200 –> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: with it. In northwest Missouri, she got Mound City, you

00:02:47,360 –> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: got Rockport, you got Tarkio, among others, Savannah, so that’s.

57
00:02:52,080 –> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: All part of it.

58
00:02:53,680 –> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: Craig and Fairfax, all right, there was surviving floods.

59
00:02:56,560 –> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: Nebraska City.

60
00:02:57,320 –> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Nebraska City’s right there, yep. They’re on the northern end

61
00:02:59,639 –> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: of this discussion. That’s a great place by the way

62
00:03:01,840 –> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: to go to Nebraska City. Check out the Lead Lodge

63
00:03:04,160 –> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 1: if you want at weekend get away. So that’s pretty awesome.

64
00:03:07,080 –> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: And then Southwest Iowa, which is such a chief’s stronghold.

65
00:03:11,639 –> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: You look at Highway thirty four mentioned Atlantic, Clorinda, Shenandoah,

66
00:03:15,240 –> 00:03:17,880

67
00:03:17,919 –> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: serves all of that. They want to keep it local.

68
00:03:20,320 –> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: We’re talking about the dog days, dawg. The chiefs actually

69
00:03:24,760 –> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: have a chance to be better in twenty twenty four. Yes,

70
00:03:28,200 –> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: sounds ridiculous, but it’s true because of the dogs that

71
00:03:32,080 –> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: we see here in this camp, especially on days like today.

72
00:03:35,320 –> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: But before we go to the kennel, let’s go around

73
00:03:38,080 –> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 3: the world and what do you have.

74
00:03:39,440 –> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Oh, these people are also dogs for coming to camp

75
00:03:41,640 –> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: in this heat. I respect it. I respected immensely. A

76
00:03:45,040 –> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: lot of people will come up and say hi at

77
00:03:46,560 –> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: training camp. If you’re going to make it to one

78
00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: of the practices later this week or maybe next week,

79
00:03:50,640 –> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: come up and say hi to us. But so far,

80
00:03:52,480 –> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: heard from Brian from Iowa. Don’t know where in Iowa.

81
00:03:55,360 –> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: Somewhere in Iowa.

82
00:03:56,360 –> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: Was it Shenandoa, Atlantic or Clorinda, one of our towns.

83
00:03:58,800 –> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 2: I really like the name of him, Shannandoah, So let’s

84
00:04:01,240 –> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: just go with that. Yeah, it just sounds like a

85
00:04:02,800 –> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: cool place.

86
00:04:03,480 –> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: It is a cool place.

87
00:04:04,560 –> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 2: Heard from Don in Columbia, Missouri, m iz heard from

88
00:04:08,880 –> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: Tim and Lamar, Missouri. Do you know where that is?

89
00:04:11,480 –> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: High school power? They are.

00:04:23,279 –> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: Okay, very cool.

94
00:04:25,040 –> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: Met James from Mount Vernon, Missouri. You’re familiar with Mount Vernon.

95
00:04:28,240 –> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: Absolutely, they the mountaineers right there if they’re close to Lamar,

96
00:04:32,560 –> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: so you’ve got the same geographic spot generally down there.

97
00:04:35,880 –> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: There were two friends that came here together. Guess that

98
00:04:37,839 –> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: makes some sense. And lastly met Dan from Kansas City

99
00:04:40,800 –> 00:04:43,080

136
00:06:22,160 –> 00:06:25,159

137
00:06:25,200 –> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: are just good at everything. I think Patrick falls in

138
00:06:26,960 –> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: that category and.

139
00:06:28,279 –> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: Something about that seeing those guys in the names from

140
00:06:30,640 –> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: Tyler to put it out there on social media. So

141
00:06:33,320 –> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: I was with him in Tyler Texas at an event

142
00:06:35,040 –> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: he was being presented for and we were talking about

143
00:06:37,600 –> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: him growing up.

144
00:06:38,200 –> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: He was always wanting to be Everybody.

145
00:06:40,240 –> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: Was recruiting him to be on the Dallas team, right,

146
00:06:42,480 –> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: the Metroplex team, going, the Super Travel team. They’re going

147
00:06:45,120 –> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: to be in you know, Sri Lanka today and then

148
00:06:47,320 –> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: next week they’re going to be in Australia. He goes,

149
00:06:49,640 –> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: why would I do that and leave my guys? He goes,

150
00:06:52,600 –> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: by the way, we just went and beat all those

151
00:06:54,080 –> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: guys anyway from Dallas. So it just tells you what

152
00:06:57,279 –> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: we see in Patrick was way back then when he’s

153
00:07:00,400 –> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: a young teenager. Because he’s loyal to where he’s at

154
00:07:03,120 –> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 1: and loyal to his guys.

155
00:07:04,120 –> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: That’s Patrick Mahomes and a nutshell. People ask us beyond

156
00:07:07,279 –> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: the talent, what makes him so special? It’s that stuff.

157
00:07:10,200 –> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: How often do you find a player who’s so physically gifted,

158
00:07:13,760 –> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: who is really really smart, can evaluate things on the field,

159
00:07:17,520 –> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: and is also like an awesome guy away from the field.

160
00:07:20,880 –> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 2: You don’t find that player because rarely do they exist.

161
00:07:23,800 –> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: What exists with Patrick Mahomes. That’s why he is the

162
00:07:26,080 –> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: greatest player in our game today, not the fourth greatest.

163
00:07:28,880 –> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: That’s why he is the number one player in our

164
00:07:31,000 –> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: league right now because of the talent, the intelligence, but

165
00:07:34,200 –> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: maybe most importantly who he is away from the field to.

166
00:07:37,360 –> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: Who makes those ratings? Honestly, I don’t know stand up

167
00:07:41,440 –> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: and be accounted for. How are you putting him for?

168
00:07:44,000 –> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Reveal yourself anyway, don’t get me started. That’ll I mean,

169
00:07:47,960 –> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: I’m I got a heat stroke. Okay, I really do

170
00:07:51,320 –> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: now after that, so don’t get me started. But honestly,

171
00:07:53,880 –> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: I think we can say our first dog dawg of

172
00:07:56,280 –> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: this camp is actually Patrick himself. He’s been here, he

173
00:08:00,360 –> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: has his own OTAs, he had tax OTAs. We’ve talked

174
00:08:03,320 –> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: about all that, but it’s winning these days when you’ve

175
00:08:06,200 –> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: got to push through it.

176
00:08:07,080 –> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: Andy Reid says, you’ve got to push through it.

177
00:08:08,640 –> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: This was a hard practice today, and nobody’s pushing through

178
00:08:11,560 –> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: it harder than Patrick Mahomes.

179
00:08:13,040 –> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: All right, this will be a long winded response, but

180
00:08:15,000 –> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: can I give you some Patrick mahomes like numbers and accolades?

181
00:08:17,720 –> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: Sure? Okay?

182
00:08:18,560 –> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 2: So Patrick Mahomes has the most passing yards and touchdown

183
00:08:22,120 –> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 2: passes through one hundred career games in NFL history, and

184
00:08:25,360 –> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: he did so with four games to spare. He’s only

185
00:08:27,240 –> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: started ninety six career regular season games. He has fifteen

186
00:08:30,600 –> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: career postseason wins at quarterback, as third most all time

187
00:08:33,679 –> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: already as a twenty eight year old, behind only Jill Montana,

188
00:08:36,679 –> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: who has sixteen. By the way, so Patrick’s one behind

189
00:08:39,440 –> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: tying Jill Montana, and then Tom Brady has thirty five.

190
00:08:42,280 –> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: But he’s getting there. He is the first player. This

191
00:08:45,080 –> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: is a cool one. I didn’t know this until recently.

192
00:08:46,800 –> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: He is the first player to win back to back

193
00:08:48,679 –> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP awards since Terry Bradshaw in nineteen seventy

194
00:08:52,559 –> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: nine and nineteen eighty And lastly, I talked about this

195
00:08:55,200 –> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: one on our livestream a little bit ago. This one’s great.

196
00:08:57,640 –> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: This came from sportswriter Neil Payne two one thousand and one.

197
00:09:00,760 –> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: There have been one hundred and twenty five drives and

198
00:09:02,840 –> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 2: the NFL playoffs where it’s at least the fourth quarter,

199
00:09:05,840 –> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 2: under a minute left to play and the team with

200
00:09:07,960 –> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: the ball trailed by one score, and those situations team

201
00:09:11,360 –> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: succeeded and got the points that they needed about forty

202
00:09:13,760 –> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: percent of the time. Tom Brady was five for eleven

203
00:09:16,520 –> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: in the situations. Drew Brees was three for six. Patrick

204
00:09:19,280 –> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes is seven for seven in his career in those situations,

205
00:09:23,240 –> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: basically saying he’s the most clutch quarterback that has ever lived.

206
00:09:26,559 –> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: So I say all of that to set the stage

207
00:09:29,160 –> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: for day thirteen of training camp, when it is one

208
00:09:32,320 –> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: hundred degrees out here, it’s their seventh padded practice in

209
00:09:36,000 –> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: the last eleven days. Guys are exhausted. Patrick Mahomes has

210
00:09:39,960 –> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: accomplished literally so much in this league, and yet he’s

211
00:09:43,760 –> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: going hard in practice.

212
00:09:46,000 –> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: And last year though, he went to next level of dogness.

213
00:09:48,960 –> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: Dawg Per his per game passing total, it’s number one

214
00:09:55,080 –> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 1: in NFL history. In his first six years as a

215
00:09:57,360 –> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: starter at two ninety six point one, right, remember that number.

216
00:10:01,120 –> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: Eight times in the Chiefs fifteen wins.

217
00:10:03,280 –> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: Last year he was under that number and one five

218
00:10:06,760 –> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: regular season games, three out of the four in the playoffs.

219
00:10:09,400 –> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: What does that tell you? He does not have to

220
00:10:11,440 –> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: be a high volume passer to win the game. He

221
00:10:13,840 –> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: does not have to throw for four hundred or five

222
00:10:15,840 –> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: hundred or whomever’s in the basement saying he’s in the

223
00:10:18,360 –> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: fourth best player in.

224
00:10:19,480 –> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 3: The league, going, hey, he had a down year. No

225
00:10:21,840 –> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 3: he didn’t.

226
00:10:22,480 –> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: He won the Super Bowl and he did it by grinding.

227
00:10:25,240 –> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Many of these games were grinded out games. You don’t

228
00:10:28,240 –> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: win at Buffalo, or win at Baltimore, or beat a

229
00:10:31,640 –> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: San Francisco team without being a grinding quarterback on that path,

230
00:10:35,679 –> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: and that’s exactly what he did. That was a big

231
00:10:37,800 –> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: step for him. That was a step forward that he

232
00:10:40,200 –> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: had proven now he can win every game in every

233
00:10:42,600 –> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: way under any circumstance.

234
00:10:44,440 –> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: And then the Super Bowl, we had a game tying

235
00:10:46,840 –> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: drive and regulation, and then we had a touchdown game

236
00:10:49,720 –> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: winning drive and overtime. I mean, listen, completed every pass exactly.

237
00:10:55,400 –> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he has all the stats in the numbers

238
00:10:57,880 –> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: at this point. With Patrick, it doesn’t really matter what

239
00:11:01,000 –> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: his regular season numbers are. They’re going to be really good.

240
00:11:04,160 –> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: We always put it in the context of did he

241
00:11:05,960 –> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: throw for this many touchdowns, this many passing yards. It

242
00:11:08,520 –> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: doesn’t matter because all he cares about is winning. If

243
00:11:10,760 –> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs win, he is happy. And if he helped

244
00:11:13,600 –> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 2: the Chiefs win in some way and the Chiefs won

245
00:11:15,760 –> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: the game, that’s all he cares about. And the Chiefs

246
00:11:18,160 –> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 2: last year won the division, got to the postseason, had

247
00:11:22,160 –> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: maybe the hardest playoff run like playoff March ever and

248
00:11:26,120 –> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 2: it ended with the second straight Super Bowl title. I mean,

249
00:11:29,760 –> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: he’s not only the best player in the game today,

250
00:11:31,559 –> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: he’s one of the greatest players to ever live. And

251
00:11:33,640 –> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: when it’s all said and done, I look forward to

252
00:11:35,320 –> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: our DTK in like twenty forty one or whatever, we’ll

253
00:11:39,640 –> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: be talking about Patrick Mammos maybe is the greatest player

254
00:11:41,720 –> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: of all time.

255
00:11:42,880 –> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: There’s other dogs in this camp that deserve mentioned on

256
00:11:45,200 –> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: this episode. The offensive lines right there. We had featured

257
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: them in a live stream that we did earlier in camp.

258
00:11:51,280 –> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: But the two guys come to mind, Creed Humphrey and

259
00:11:52,920 –> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Tray Smith, and actually Juwan Taylor. He’s different than he

260
00:11:55,720 –> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: was a year ago, totally different. He’s acclimated and not

261
00:11:58,320 –> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: only the culture. He’s more comfortable in this system. But

262
00:12:00,880 –> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: those guys have been dogs in this camp because they

263
00:12:03,840 –> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: brought it every day and they’ve been here for almost

264
00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: every moment and they just been outstanding. Joe Tooney has

265
00:12:10,000 –> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: worked his way back, remember his offseason surgery, got hurt

266
00:12:12,600 –> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: in the Buffalo game. And then left tackle is a

267
00:12:14,880 –> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: discussion we’ve had before. But those other three guys from center,

268
00:12:18,800 –> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: right guard, right tackle have proven to me they are

269
00:12:21,160 –> 00:12:22,359
Speaker 1: dogs in this camp.

270
00:12:22,240 –> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: And this camp is really really hard on those guys.

271
00:12:24,920 –> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: If you’ve been up here at camp, you know what

272
00:12:26,120 –> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: I’m going to talk about. There is a segment of

273
00:12:28,320 –> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: many of these practices called the long drive drill, and

274
00:12:31,440 –> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: it is what it sounds like. It basically simulates a

275
00:12:33,800 –> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: real game situation where you’re on the field for several

276
00:12:37,080 –> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 2: consecutive plays. There was one a few days ago where

277
00:12:39,640 –> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: the first team offense was on the field for sixteen

278
00:12:41,920 –> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 2: consecutive plays. Now, receivers can rotate in and out like

279
00:12:45,000 –> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: it was a real game, but your offensive lineman they’re

280
00:12:47,040 –> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 2: staying in there and it’s one hundred degrees play after

281
00:12:50,160 –> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: play after play, not much of a break. I mean,

282
00:12:52,960 –> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: that’s grueling, but that’s where you find out who your

283
00:12:55,559 –> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: best players are. You have to dig deep and really

284
00:12:58,120 –> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: learn who you are as a player, and beyond even

285
00:13:00,840 –> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: the starters, who’s going to make this team as a reserve.

286
00:13:03,640 –> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: Those guys separate during these days and during things like

287
00:13:06,480 –> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: long drive drill, and I know, training camp kind of

288
00:13:09,160 –> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: gets monotonous after a while. I mean, yeah, it’s day

289
00:13:11,360 –> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 2: thirteen of nineteen, but every single day, every player is

290
00:13:15,000 –> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: evaluated on every single play. And if you’re trying to

291
00:13:18,800 –> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: make this team, or you’re a player like Juwan Taylor

292
00:13:20,960 –> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: or Joe Toney or one of the starters who wants

293
00:13:22,600 –> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: to maybe take your game to the next level next season,

294
00:13:25,000 –> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: you do it in training camp and it’s it’s a

295
00:13:27,400 –> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: beautiful thing. It’s hot, it’s difficult, but this team’s getting

296
00:13:30,040 –> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 2: better over the last several.

297
00:13:30,960 –> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: Days, long days, long nights here, and the scouts and

298
00:13:33,800 –> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: the coaches have long nights. Do you realize and I

299
00:13:35,960 –> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: don’t know if fans realize this. They rank every position,

300
00:13:39,200 –> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: every player every day. Yeah, and those rankings change from

301
00:13:43,080 –> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: day to day. But your point’s a good one. But

302
00:13:46,000 –> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: they’ll be there tonight, grinding away, and they will go

303
00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: down every player, all ninety one players, and rank them

304
00:13:51,960 –> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: in every position group every day. Now, let’s jump to

305
00:13:55,840 –> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: the defense and where we’re seeing some dogs on that side.

306
00:13:59,440 –> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: Drew Trank, to me, is maybe the valedictorian of this discussion.

307
00:14:03,080 –> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: I’m calling him Alisaurus because he’s coming out here.

308
00:14:05,880 –> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: I love it.

309
00:14:06,240 –> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: He prays right here before he goes on the field.

310
00:14:08,840 –> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: It’s like a game to him. He prays, It’s like boom,

311
00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: and then he hits the field. He is all over

312
00:14:13,520 –> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: the place, even to agitate the offense a couple of times.

313
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: But Drew Tranquill is having an incredible camp. And it’s

314
00:14:19,600 –> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: not just physically. He is mentally and emotionally attacking this camp.

315
00:14:23,080 –> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: Okay, let’s take a step back. This is the brilliance

316
00:14:25,200 –> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 2: of Mitch. Okay, he could so easily compare Drew Tranquill

317
00:14:28,040 –> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: to a you know, common variety everyone knows kind of dinosaur, like, oh,

318
00:14:32,800 –> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: he’s a t rex, or he’s a velociraptor or something. No,

319
00:14:35,560 –> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 2: he’s an alisaurus. I had to look it up. I

320
00:14:37,560 –> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: like dinosaurs. I had to look it up, and I

321
00:14:39,080 –> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: send him back a picture of an alosaurus. My wife

322
00:14:41,520 –> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: was like, you guys are out of control, but yeah,

323
00:14:43,880 –> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: I’m with you. My favorite thing, Drew has said all

324
00:14:46,120 –> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: of King.

325
00:14:46,520 –> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Jay Schmid from Smith Center at Missus LaRue in grade school,

326
00:14:50,240 –> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: and she taught me what alisaurus was all about, like dinosaurs. Man,

327
00:14:53,320 –> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: it’s a big deal in Smith Center, just saying it. Well,

328
00:14:55,840 –> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: his fossil’s out there, right, oh yeah, yeah, find fossils,

329
00:14:58,320 –> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: just dig around a little bit.

330
00:14:59,160 –> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: They’re there. Yeah, believe it mostly on Schmid’s farm.

331
00:15:02,520 –> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: But Drew Trankwill during one of our live streams, like

332
00:15:06,200 –> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: last week, you interviewed him and he talked about what

333
00:15:08,680 –> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: Spags said one of the first days of camp that

334
00:15:11,320 –> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: you can’t rely on what happened last year. The defense

335
00:15:13,760 –> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: was so good last year doesn’t matter anymore. Apparently Spags

336
00:15:17,360 –> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 2: told a story about how during his Giants days he

337
00:15:20,120 –> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 2: had a top break defense one year, next year they

338
00:15:22,160 –> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 2: fell the thirty one overall. Well, Spags and Tranquill and

339
00:15:25,600 –> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: Nick Bolton. When he’s healthy, these defensive players that have

340
00:15:28,360 –> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: been around the league a little bit, they’ve told us repeatedly,

341
00:15:31,200 –> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: we’re not going to let that happen. And the mantra

342
00:15:34,280 –> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: for the defense this year is de BET’s demand better

343
00:15:37,720 –> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 2: and it’s cool because the defense as good as it

344
00:15:40,240 –> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: was last year. I think about right after the Chargers

345
00:15:43,200 –> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: game in Week eighteen, I knew the exact numbers, like

346
00:15:46,280 –> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: the number of points we could allow for our defense

347
00:15:48,440 –> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: to finish first, second, third, whatever. In scoring. We finished

348
00:15:51,840 –> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: number two in the NFL in scoring. And we saw

349
00:15:53,640 –> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: Spags after the game and I was like, coach, you

350
00:15:55,720 –> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: finished number two in scoring, and he was like, that’s

351
00:15:58,080 –> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: not good enough. He wasn’t even happy about it, didn’t smile,

352
00:16:00,840 –> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: like that’s.

353
00:16:01,120 –> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: Not good enough.

354
00:16:01,600 –> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: We need to be number one. And I’m excited for

355
00:16:03,880 –> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: this defense to see if they can achieve that this

356
00:16:05,520 –> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: year because they certainly have the mentality to do it.

357
00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: And takeaways are going to be a big issue with

358
00:16:10,640 –> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: this team. They didn’t take it away a lot last year.

359
00:16:12,480 –> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: That’s the one thing.

360
00:16:13,080 –> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so to take it away. You may be

361
00:16:15,320 –> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: fifth in scoring defense or even seventh, but if you

362
00:16:17,640 –> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: take the ball away more, you win more games. And

363
00:16:19,960 –> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: I could see that happening with his defense. Another dog,

364
00:16:22,160 –> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: this is going to be near and dear to your

365
00:16:23,400 –> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: heart in this camp. A dog is Brian Cook at safety.

366
00:16:27,480 –> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: Number six is back. Remember he had the ghastly ankle

367
00:16:31,440 –> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: injury in Green Bay last year wiped him out for

368
00:16:34,680 –> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, including the playoff run to

369
00:16:36,560 –> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl.

370
00:16:37,280 –> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: He’s back.

371
00:16:38,280 –> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: He’s attacking every day, even to the point where he’s

372
00:16:40,600 –> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: agitated Mahomes. Right, they’re getting after it. There was an interception,

373
00:16:44,520 –> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: He’s like kind of calling out Mahomes. The next play

374
00:16:47,120 –> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: McComb Mahomes comes after him and fights Jared Wiley. But still,

375
00:16:51,080 –> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I’m really encouraged with what I’m seeing from Brian Cook.

376
00:16:53,480 –> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: The Brian Cook we saw as a rookie, we’re seeing

377
00:16:55,800 –> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: here better.

378
00:16:57,120 –> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: I agree, Brian Cook was in the nittle Some of

379
00:16:59,880 –> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: the biggest moments of last year, some you might remember,

380
00:17:02,960 –> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: some of you might forget about. The obvious one is

381
00:17:04,880 –> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: the touchdown against the Dolphins in Germany. I mean, just incredible.

382
00:17:08,359 –> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: He’s like an Olympic sprinter with the high knees, running

383
00:17:10,960 –> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: down and scoring after Mike Edwards lateral it to him.

384
00:17:14,040 –> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: But also do not forget about his open field tackle

385
00:17:16,240 –> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: on Breece Hall and the Jets game. That’s like a

386
00:17:18,480 –> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 2: forgotten player because for me, it’s so easy to look

387
00:17:23,119 –> 00:17:26,239
Speaker 2: at the touchdowns or receiving yards or interceptions. I get it,

388
00:17:26,280 –> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 2: but you can’t forget about the moments in a game

389
00:17:28,920 –> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 2: where everything kind of teeters. And in that Jets game,

390
00:17:31,520 –> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: Breece Hall was going to score a touchdown. I mean

391
00:17:33,960 –> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: it was a wide open, open field, like he’s going

392
00:17:36,359 –> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: to run for a touchdown. Brian Cook was the only

393
00:17:38,480 –> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: guy in between, and Brian made a great open field tackle. Well,

394
00:17:41,960 –> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: if you look at the rest of the game, first

395
00:17:43,680 –> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: of all, the Chiefs won by one score, so that

396
00:17:45,960 –> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 2: was gigantic, but also the Jets didn’t get past that

397
00:17:49,560 –> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 2: point the rest of the game, like they didn’t move

398
00:17:52,080 –> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: further into Chief’s territory the rest of the game. Football

399
00:17:55,000 –> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 2: is a game of inches, It’s an obvious cliche, but

400
00:17:56,800 –> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 2: it’s also a game of little moments like one or

401
00:17:59,320 –> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: two plays can aside these things, and for Brian Cook

402
00:18:01,960 –> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 2: to be ready in that moment stood out to me.

403
00:18:03,720 –> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: So he’s a really good player on like every down.

404
00:18:07,040 –> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 2: But those kind of things separate like guys who are

405
00:18:10,280 –> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 2: out there who are serviceable and guys who are really

406
00:18:12,520 –> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 2: really good players who are going to grow with this defense.

407
00:18:14,680 –> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: And that’s what stands out to me about Brian Cook.

408
00:18:16,320 –> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: So so glad he’s back. His mentality is great. He’s healthy,

409
00:18:18,960 –> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 2: He’s out here doing everything. So yeah, Brian Cook, after

410
00:18:21,800 –> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: that scary injury in Green Bay is appears to be

411
00:18:24,160 –> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: good to go.

412
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: He fits in with one of my favorite stats of

413
00:18:27,240 –> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: this team right now, and that is the great group

414
00:18:30,160 –> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two dbs. There are five in that

415
00:18:32,600 –> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: class and they are thirty five and oh in the playoffs.

416
00:18:36,200 –> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 3: I’ve often said this is that good.

417
00:18:38,520 –> 00:18:41,719
Speaker 1: Jay Schmidt would hire these guys, he would have them

418
00:18:41,720 –> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: as business partners. You would want to work for him,

419
00:18:44,600 –> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: you’d want him to work for you. They’re great people.

420
00:18:47,119 –> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: They’re also dogs, and I’ve seen Trent McDuffie get dog.

421
00:18:50,920 –> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: He’s been dog out here. If you look at his career,

422
00:18:53,440 –> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: people go. He hasn’t had an interception in two years. No,

423
00:18:56,359 –> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: but he’s had more force fumbles and quarterback hits than

424
00:18:59,480 –> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 1: any corner back in the league history, second second most

425
00:19:03,359 –> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 1: in NFL history for a corner in his first two years.

426
00:19:06,720 –> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: Now he’s taken on even more of a role and

427
00:19:08,960 –> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: even his third year as the age old third year guy.

428
00:19:11,960 –> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: These guys, that group is a unique group. And we’ve

429
00:19:14,720 –> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: seen Nazi Johnson come fighting back, a little bit of

430
00:19:17,320 –> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: dog in him coming back from an ACL injury suffered

431
00:19:20,440 –> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: about this time a year ago, and he’s been in

432
00:19:22,480 –> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: and out and in and out, but he’s back. He

433
00:19:23,840 –> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: keeps fighting back and coming back. Now. Jalen Watson is

434
00:19:26,680 –> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: gradually coming back. Joshua Williams just had a good camp.

435
00:19:29,600 –> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: But those guys, those dbs from the twenty two draft

436
00:19:32,520 –> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: class are a very unique group and they’re just getting better.

437
00:19:36,440 –> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: And it’s one of the reasons why this Chiefs team

438
00:19:38,720 –> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: can be better in twenty four.

439
00:19:40,119 –> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: So you and I both love Lagarius Snead and Lagarius

440
00:19:42,880 –> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 2: Need is a dog as we saw last year. But

441
00:19:45,640 –> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: one of the primary reasons, yeah, absolutely, one of the

442
00:19:48,600 –> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 2: primary reasons the Chiefs allowed Lagerius Need to go out

443
00:19:52,520 –> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 2: there and I guess trade him to the Titans is

444
00:19:54,600 –> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: because we felt really good about this group. And it

445
00:19:56,520 –> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: begins the Trent McDuffie, who is a star. He is

446
00:19:59,000 –> 00:20:01,360
Speaker 2: a star in the make an All Pro last year

447
00:20:01,400 –> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: at nickel corner, but now he’s going to bunce outside

448
00:20:03,960 –> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 2: and play a lot of outside corner, maybe travel with

449
00:20:06,240 –> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: the top receiver of the other team. We’ll see, but

450
00:20:09,320 –> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: just so good. Last season. Pro Football Focus ranked him

451
00:20:11,359 –> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 2: as the number two corner in the NFL coming into

452
00:20:13,720 –> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: this year behind only Sauce Gardner. That’s how highly they

453
00:20:16,160 –> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: think of him. I think a big season is coming

454
00:20:18,520 –> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 2: for Trent McDuffie, but the other guys too, Like you

455
00:20:20,960 –> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: mentioned Joshua Williams having a really nice camp. Jill and

456
00:20:23,320 –> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: Watson kind of working back from that injury, but looks

457
00:20:26,440 –> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: better and better every day. Nazi Johnson, who was one

458
00:20:29,440 –> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 2: of the stories of camp last year. We felt so

459
00:20:31,440 –> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: good about what he was going to contribute defensively last season,

460
00:20:34,240 –> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: not just on special teams. But he’s back. He’s missed

461
00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 2: a few days with just a lingering hamstring injury, but

462
00:20:39,760 –> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: he was healthy out there today. Nazzie Johnson has a

463
00:20:42,320 –> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 2: real shot to make some impact moments for this team.

464
00:20:45,280 –> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: So we feel good about this defense. I mean, it’s young,

465
00:20:47,960 –> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 2: it’s a sending and this is something that we’ve talked

466
00:20:49,920 –> 00:20:53,719
Speaker 2: about for months and months. The twenty twenty two draft class.

467
00:20:53,840 –> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 2: All those defensive players have been right in the middle

468
00:20:56,160 –> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: of all this success and they are only getting better.

469
00:20:58,600 –> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 2: And that’s very exciting if you’re achieved.

470
00:21:00,560 –> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: And they are so emotionally and mentally mature, they are

471
00:21:04,640 –> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: it’s like CEOs all there in training in that defensive backfield.

472
00:21:09,680 –> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: That’s what’s kind of overlooked, I think in these guys

473
00:21:12,280 –> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 1: and how they have grown, especially guys that we mentioned. Okay,

474
00:21:15,760 –> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: the other dog and we’ll close out this way, and

475
00:21:18,640 –> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: it’s going to surprise you, but I’m going to put

476
00:21:20,320 –> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: Harrison Bucker in this dog category.

477
00:21:22,040 –> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 3: The dawg.

478
00:21:23,240 –> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: Why he has had to completely change the way he

479
00:21:27,160 –> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: does kickoffs. We watched him this summer, this new kickoff rule,

480
00:21:30,560 –> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: and Matt’s going to be down on the sideline and

481
00:21:32,280 –> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: you can listen to the largest network in the NFL

482
00:21:34,800 –> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: as well, Jacksonville on Saturday night. I’m going to try,

483
00:21:37,520 –> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: my darness, if you’re not watching and listening, to explain

484
00:21:40,440 –> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: it because it is the craziest thing you’ve ever seen.

485
00:21:42,640 –> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: It’s the demolition derby at the County Fair. That’s the

486
00:21:45,400 –> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: only thing I can say. It’s just not people bashing

487
00:21:47,880 –> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 1: into each other, but the fact that the kick the ball,

488
00:21:51,520 –> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: you’ve got to kick it entirely different than any time

489
00:21:54,560 –> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: he’s ever done it in his life. He is doing

490
00:21:57,920 –> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: it outstanding, But at first a summer watch him, I’m like, Ooh,

491
00:22:02,000 –> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: I don’t know if it’s going to work. He has

492
00:22:03,760 –> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: completely changed the way he’s kicked out here. Have you

493
00:22:05,640 –> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: noticed how many perfect kicks he has had? That means

494
00:22:08,440 –> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: he had to change his mind and in his physical style.

495
00:22:12,200 –> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 1: To me, that’s a kicker dog. It’s just completely different.

496
00:22:15,320 –> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people watch the Hall

497
00:22:17,640 –> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 2: of Fame game and you got kind of an idea

498
00:22:19,680 –> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: of it, but that was just kind of scratching the surface.

499
00:22:23,240 –> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: We’ve been watching this since OTA’s There’s a lot of

500
00:22:25,520 –> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: weird stuff that’s going to happen with the new kickoff,

501
00:22:27,800 –> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: and the preseason game for US on Saturday will be

502
00:22:30,840 –> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans first opportunity to see the Chiefs and how

503
00:22:32,880 –> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 2: they handle it. It’s something that Dave Tobe is really embraced.

504
00:22:36,160 –> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: And you know, a lot of teams might end up

505
00:22:38,000 –> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 2: still kicking touchbacks because it will put the ball at thirty.

506
00:22:40,800 –> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: It’s not great. It’s still great field position for the opponent,

507
00:22:43,240 –> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 2: but for teams that can’t figure it out, they’ll be

508
00:22:44,880 –> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: like ah Well’s kick touchbacks. Dave Tobe wants to find

509
00:22:47,440 –> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: a way to make this work to our advantage because

510
00:22:49,720 –> 00:22:51,640
Speaker 2: the teams that can really figure this out are going

511
00:22:51,680 –> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 2: to have an enormous advantage over their opponents. Because if

512
00:22:54,400 –> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: you can consistently pin teams back with this, and then

513
00:22:57,240 –> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 2: on the flip side, if you can take advantage of

514
00:23:00,000 –> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: the field possition that you’re getting. Giving Patrick Mahomes the

515
00:23:02,480 –> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 2: ball at the thirty or the thirty five or the

516
00:23:04,320 –> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: forty every single time, imagine the damage he can do.

517
00:23:07,160 –> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: But really, for Butker in a kicking game, You’re right,

518
00:23:09,280 –> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: it’s like learning a whole new language. It’s difficult, it’s hard,

519
00:23:12,760 –> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 2: it’s something that’s never really happened before for players of

520
00:23:14,920 –> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: his caliber. But he’s done a great job trying to

521
00:23:17,600 –> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 2: learn this and figure out how to place the ball perfectly.

522
00:23:20,640 –> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 2: I don’t know how much we can really say or

523
00:23:22,080 –> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: reveal strategy, but there’s some fun stuff for sure.

524
00:23:24,600 –> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 3: Just watch it on Saturday Night. I’ll talk about it

525
00:23:26,960 –> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 3: as well.

526
00:23:27,960 –> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 1: But he’s had to completely retrain his brain and show

527
00:23:30,960 –> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: some toughness. And I didn’t think he’d be doing it

528
00:23:33,480 –> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: this well, this consistently, this soon after what was saw

529
00:23:36,720 –> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: the summer, But he just totally turned his life into

530
00:23:39,600 –> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: like I’ve got to kick these weird kicks, which is

531
00:23:41,920 –> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: anything he’s learned from any time learning as a kick,

532
00:23:44,920 –> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: going back to a little kid. So but to me,

533
00:23:48,040 –> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: he’s a dog and what he’s doing with that, because

534
00:23:50,520 –> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: it’s going to decide games. Okay, one way or the other.

535
00:23:53,560 –> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 1: Coverage returns or if you mishandle a kick and he stumbles,

536
00:23:56,240 –> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: it goes out of bounds because it’s coming out you’re

537
00:23:58,200 –> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: like a knuckleball or some crazy medicine ball. That’s the

538
00:24:01,400 –> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: way you got to kick it. So let’s put butt

539
00:24:03,359 –> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: in that category.

540
00:24:04,119 –> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: And for these returners, it’s kind of funny to see this.

541
00:24:06,600 –> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: So if it lands inside the twenty, you have to

542
00:24:09,920 –> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: return it. It has to be returned. There’s no fair

543
00:24:11,840 –> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: catches or just letting it go. No, you have to

544
00:24:13,800 –> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 2: return it. And if the ball gets by you, or

545
00:24:17,520 –> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: if you catch it and it slips out behind you,

546
00:24:20,359 –> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 2: the panic that they must feel. And hopefully throughout the

547
00:24:24,080 –> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: season we’re seeing a lot of that, or the receiving

548
00:24:26,440 –> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 2: team the Chiefs are playing against, the ball gets by

549
00:24:29,320 –> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: them or that goes through their hands and goes behind

550
00:24:32,520 –> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: them or something and they have to run back and

551
00:24:33,760 –> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: get it and the Chiefs pin them at like the

552
00:24:35,040 –> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: five yard line. Hopefully a lot of that this year.

553
00:24:37,400 –> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: And the Chief defense that we talked about earlier that

554
00:24:39,640 –> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: we believe so much in. If you can pin the

555
00:24:41,640 –> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: opponent back and the defense can pin their ears back

556
00:24:44,160 –> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 2: and get after the passer. It’s exciting stuff.

557
00:24:46,320 –> 00:24:48,919
Speaker 1: It is not being on the freeway anymore. It is

558
00:24:49,280 –> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: rush hour traffic on every one of these kicks. But

559
00:24:51,720 –> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: the key for any team will be the kicker. Where

560
00:24:55,920 –> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: does he put it? Is it a returnable kick? And

561
00:24:58,920 –> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: bucker right now to me, I think is ahead of

562
00:25:01,000 –> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: the game.

563
00:25:01,320 –> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: We’ll see. So thanks to the folks at Mosaic.

564
00:25:03,600 –> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: They’ve been awesome all throughout camp here, not only with

565
00:25:06,359 –> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: our live streams helping fans. We saw them help a

566
00:25:08,640 –> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: fan here today was so hot, but they’ve also helped

567
00:25:11,200 –> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: our players throughout this camp. Man, they’ve been great, so

568
00:25:14,320 –> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 1: big thanks to the folks at Mosaic again part of

569
00:25:17,200 –> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: the Mayo Clinic care system now and they’re so local

570
00:25:20,800 –> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: focused Mosaic it’s great. And then the folks at Ticketmaster, Man,

571
00:25:23,920 –> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: they’re your new best friend for trying to get tickets

572
00:25:26,400 –> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: for home and road with the Kansas City Chiefs. But

573
00:25:29,200 –> 00:25:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean, let’s go. We got to grind it out

574
00:25:32,400 –> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: for a couple more days here and then Jacksonville Saturday night.

575
00:25:34,680 –> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: I’ll be a puddle on the sideline in Jacksonville. You know,

576
00:25:37,320 –> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: let’s spend an August night. I’m sure it’ll be one

577
00:25:40,840 –> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: hundred percent humidity in Jacksonville, but yeah, it should be

578
00:25:44,080 –> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: a lot of fun. This has been the shortest offseason

579
00:25:47,280 –> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: in NFL history. Back to back years the Chiefs have

580
00:25:50,119 –> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: done that. But we’ve talked for months and months about

581
00:25:53,520 –> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: what could happen this year. And now, finally, even though

582
00:25:56,320 –> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: it’s just the preseason, we get to see the Chiefs

583
00:25:58,119 –> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: go out there on the football field and play opponent

584
00:26:00,800 –> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: and we have some history in front of us this year. Mitch,

585
00:26:03,600 –> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: some real opportunities, some things that she can hopefully achieve

586
00:26:06,480 –> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 2: that it never happened before. And in terms of on

587
00:26:09,040 –> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: the field and on television, it begins on Saturday.

588
00:26:11,680 –> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: I said it my speech in Washington, d C. And

589
00:26:14,400 –> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brandt was there right, the Deputy chief. It’s the

590
00:26:18,320 –> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: power of the mangy mutt. You and I talk about

591
00:26:20,359 –> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: it all the time. If you want to go win

592
00:26:22,280 –> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: the County Fair purple ribbon and prance around, fine, if

593
00:26:25,440 –> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: you’re going to win a Super Bowl for the third

594
00:26:27,040 –> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: straight year, you better be a mangy mutt and find

595
00:26:29,920 –> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: some dogs.

596
00:26:30,880 –> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 3: The Chiefs are funding some right here.
