00:00:41,560 –> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: City Chiefs along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. If
15
00:00:44,880 –> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: you’re not fired up at the beginning of this episode,
16
00:00:47,720 –> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: we will get you that way by the time we
17
00:00:49,720 –> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: are done, as we are going to talk about the
18
00:00:51,600 –> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty five. And by the way, the
19
00:00:54,440 –> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Irish Brigade, the co commanders of the Irish Brigade are
20
00:00:59,240 –> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: both West Point graduates. Their son who was in the
21
00:01:02,120 –> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: class of twenty six. Next year he’ll be a first day,
22
00:01:04,680 –> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: they call him, so he’ll be in his senior year.
23
00:01:07,840 –> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: But West Point Annapolis Air Force Academy, they’ll identify you
24
00:01:11,880 –> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: by your class class of. You know, George Pickett was
25
00:01:15,760 –> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: the class of blah blah blah blah blah blah, MacArthur
26
00:01:18,680 –> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: Eisenhower class of nineteen twelve. I think, well, in the NFL,
27
00:01:22,800 –> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: you’re the class of when you begin. So we know
28
00:01:25,440 –> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: about the class of twenty twenty two and how great
29
00:01:27,560 –> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: they are, but the class of twenty twenty five. You
30
00:01:30,120 –> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: and I are fired up about this group. Once the
31
00:01:32,720 –> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: Draft was over and I just kind of looked back
32
00:01:36,440 –> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: at it going back to front, I got real excited
33
00:01:39,600 –> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: and I saw some parallels to the class of twenty two.
34
00:01:42,600 –> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 2: It’s funny because like on Draft night on Thursday, we’re
35
00:01:45,880 –> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 2: in this conference room Mitche and a few others, and
36
00:01:49,160 –> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: we’re so ready to go, so fired up, just like
37
00:01:51,560 –> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: everyone else is. And then you get to Saturday, like
38
00:01:53,920 –> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: middle of Saturday, and we’re so tired, Like you and
39
00:01:57,040 –> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: I were both here so late every single day, but
40
00:01:59,520 –> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: we’re still one hundred miles an hour. But there’s no
41
00:02:02,840 –> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: one here on Saturday except for the draft people. Like
42
00:02:05,320 –> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: on Thursday and Friday, it’s still a normal work day
43
00:02:08,240 –> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: for accounting and finance and sponsorship and all the people
44
00:02:11,200 –> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: that don’t have a lot to do with the draft,
45
00:02:12,600 –> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: and then we’re there as well. But on Saturday, it’s
46
00:02:15,639 –> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: like a ghost town except for at least in the
47
00:02:18,120 –> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: business level, except for like us and the production people
48
00:02:20,800 –> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: and social media and graphics and all that. Not a
49
00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: lot of people. So anyway, you can kind of do

Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, So I heard from Jenny the Cat.
83
00:03:41,280 –> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: So I got a message on Instagram and I thought
84
00:03:43,800 –> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: it was from someone just named Jenny, But then I
85
00:03:45,720 –> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: read the message and realized that this was a pet
86
00:03:47,920 –> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: Instagram account. So I went into it, and Jenny the
87
00:03:50,560 –> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Cat said they were a street cat from Denver, but
88
00:03:53,440 –> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: they were adopted by a chief fan and rescued from
89
00:03:55,920 –> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: the dark side and they’ve seen the light. So shout
90
00:03:58,480 –> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: out to you, Jenny, and of course you’re your owner
91
00:04:01,160 –> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: as well. And thank goodness, Jenny, the cat was safe
92
00:04:03,680 –> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 2: from being a Broncos fan. You know, I’ve done the
93
00:04:06,360 –> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: same for my wife. I know what this is like.
94
00:04:08,760 –> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: Haven’t fully converted her dad yet. I converted her mom.
95
00:04:12,040 –> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 2: But I understand the struggle of converting a Broncos fan,
96
00:04:14,440 –> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 2: even if it’s a cat, and it can be done.
97
00:04:17,880 –> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: There’s only three animals I would follow on Instagram, okay.
98
00:04:22,680 –> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: One my daughter’s cat from Botswana.
99
00:04:25,480 –> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 2: That’s pretty impressive, bubs.
100
00:04:26,800 –> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes nuts on tuna. They don’t even have
101
00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: to open the tuna. You just like bring it into
102
00:04:30,960 –> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: the room and the cat just freaks out, all right.
103
00:04:33,640 –> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: Two my son and my granddaughters. And my son’s wife’s
104
00:04:37,640 –> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: dog Lola. And of course I would follow her twenty
105
00:04:43,839 –> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: four hours with a camera. And that is Pip. That’s it,
106
00:04:47,240 –> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: your dog, Pip.
107
00:04:48,440 –> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 2: And I appreciate that Ellie created an Instagram account for Pip.
108
00:04:51,560 –> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: My first got her but kind of fell off the wagon.
109
00:04:54,400 –> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: And Pip’s been able to do a lot of cool
110
00:04:56,520 –> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: things and interact with people and do cool stuff. I
111
00:04:59,720 –> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: wish we kept big going, but she stopped. I don’t
112
00:05:02,800 –> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: know why.
113
00:05:03,520 –> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: I do a lot of public speaking across the country,
114
00:05:05,880 –> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: mostly in the Midwest. I’ll take credit. It made Pip
115
00:05:08,960 –> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: a little bit famous. People are like, people know who
116
00:05:11,040 –> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: Pip is. We talk about the spirit of Pip.
117
00:05:12,839 –> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: We did that PSA for for Iiowa. Yeah, and she
118
00:05:16,680 –> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: was like featured. I brought my dog into the studio
119
00:05:19,120 –> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: and this is a couple of years ago. She had
120
00:05:21,200 –> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: a little bit more energy then. I really didn’t know
121
00:05:23,400 –> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: how this was gonna go. This took my dog to
122
00:05:25,200 –> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 2: work and took her into the studio. But you know,
123
00:05:27,560 –> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: she didn’t like poop in the middle of the studio.
124
00:05:30,240 –> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: There was no like total disaster, and it was a win.
125
00:05:32,960 –> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: We have a great photo it’s on my office of you,
126
00:05:34,640 –> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: me and Pip. It’s awesome. She had no idea all
127
00:05:36,720 –> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: the great success she would help us achieve in the
128
00:05:39,720 –> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: years that followed that.
129
00:05:40,839 –> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: It is in my corner of the closet too that
130
00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: I have here in the practice facility. You know it’s
131
00:05:45,600 –> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: up there, prom and you, me and Pip. Yeah, Well,
132
00:05:49,760 –> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: my daughter and her husband’s cat goes nuts on catnip
133
00:05:53,320 –> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: and tuna. We’re gonna go nuts on The twenty twenty
134
00:05:55,960 –> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: five class of Kansas City Chiefs, and it’ll start with
135
00:05:58,920 –> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs number one draft, Josh Simmons out of Ohio State,
136
00:06:03,000 –> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: and it’s we talked about him before a little bit.
137
00:06:07,760 –> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: We’re going to hear from Josh in just a bit.
138
00:06:09,520 –> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: He joined us in studio. But if he wasn’t injured,
139
00:06:14,480 –> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: this guy would have been probably the first left tackle
140
00:06:17,080 –> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: taken off the board. He started out the twenty twenty
141
00:06:20,400 –> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 1: four season like a ball of fire, had a good
142
00:06:22,839 –> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: twenty three season with Ohio State, and before that a
143
00:06:25,920 –> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: right tackle at San Diego State. Went to Madison High
144
00:06:28,600 –> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: School in San Diego’s where he played. Transferred later to Helix,
145
00:06:32,600 –> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: but COVID knocked him out of playing for the Helix Highlanders,
146
00:06:36,080 –> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: Alex Smith’s alma mater. But this is a very skilled,
147
00:06:40,720 –> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: large human being. You’re going to hear from him in
148
00:06:42,480 –> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: a second. But excitement to get Josh Simmons based on
149
00:06:46,640 –> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: what it could be. We don’t know exactly what we
150
00:06:50,000 –> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: have right now because of the injury, the Teller Tenont injury,
151
00:06:53,400 –> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: but there is excitement in thinking that this guy could
152
00:06:55,640 –> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: be a long time Pro Bowl caliber left tackle.
153
00:06:59,040 –> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: So the draft of my it’s about three things. It’s
154
00:07:01,760 –> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: about adding really talented players to your team. Obviously, it’s
155
00:07:05,440 –> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 2: about making your team better in terms of position groups
156
00:07:09,040 –> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: that you might need some more depth at or maybe
157
00:07:11,480 –> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: a future starter at. And maybe first and foremost, it’s
158
00:07:14,720 –> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: about value. You can’t just take players at certain spots
159
00:07:18,160 –> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: because you love them. You have to also work the board.
160
00:07:21,040 –> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: When will these players be available and all of that.
161
00:07:23,640 –> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: This is incredible value getting Josh Simmons at thirty two. Overall,
162
00:07:28,720 –> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: you look just about anywhere you look at Dame Brugler’s
163
00:07:31,680 –> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: Draft Guide, Matt Miller’s Draft Guide, Pro Football Focuses Draft Guide,
164
00:07:35,280 –> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah for NFL dot Com. Everyone agrees that this
165
00:07:39,200 –> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: guy would have been a top fifteen pick, maybe the
166
00:07:41,920 –> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: top tackle off the board. And the only reason he
167
00:07:45,120 –> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: fell to the Chiefs at the bottom of the first
168
00:07:46,920 –> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: round is that knee injury. And I understand, like there’s
169
00:07:49,840 –> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: no guarantees of stuff like that, but you trust your doctors,
170
00:07:52,920 –> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: you trust your athletic training staff, and the Chiefs have
171
00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: the best in the business here in Kansas City, led
172
00:07:57,520 –> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: by Rick Burkholder. And if they say we believe it
173
00:08:00,120 –> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: this guy, we think he’ll be good to go, you
174
00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: trust it, You go with it and you get incredible
175
00:08:04,400 –> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 2: value at that spot. You get a player that allowed
176
00:08:07,640 –> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: one sack on his last six hundred pass blocking snaps
177
00:08:11,000 –> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 2: at Ohio State playing in the Big Ten. This isn’t
178
00:08:13,520 –> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: like a projection where he was at a small school
179
00:08:15,520 –> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: facing you know, maybe smaller competition. He was facing the
180
00:08:19,080 –> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: best of the best every single week and he was
181
00:08:21,280 –> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: the best out there, best player at his position before
182
00:08:24,400 –> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: getting hurt. Last season, he allowed one quarterback hurry, no hits,
183
00:08:29,160 –> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: no sacks. Quarterback was not touched when he was out
184
00:08:32,040 –> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 2: there on one hundred and fifty eight pass blocking snaps. Again,
185
00:08:36,480 –> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: you get a player like this at thirty two overall,
186
00:08:39,280 –> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 2: it doesn’t happen. I mean, we talked before the draft
187
00:08:42,040 –> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: saying how it’s very difficult to find like your blue
188
00:08:44,400 –> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: chip left tackle prospect because those guys go in the
189
00:08:46,679 –> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: top ten and the Chiefs are not picking in the
190
00:08:48,520 –> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 2: top ten. The Chiefs have had no down years under
191
00:08:50,720 –> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: coach Reid. This is an incredible situation where this guy
192
00:08:55,080 –> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: would have gone a lot higher. He fell to you
193
00:08:57,040 –> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: because of a certain situation that was out of his control.
194
00:09:00,080 –> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: He’s attacked his rehab in the time since he apparently
195
00:09:02,400 –> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: nailed the whole interview process, all that stuff, and you
196
00:09:04,800 –> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: get this guy at thirty two. I mean hopefully, and
197
00:09:07,440 –> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 2: I have a great feeling that we’re going to look
198
00:09:09,000 –> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: back on this like five years from now and say,
199
00:09:11,000 –> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: how did the Chiefs get Josh Simmons at thirty two?
200
00:09:13,120 –> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: Overall incredibly athletic, terrific feat in the Chiefs offense. They
201
00:09:18,120 –> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: asked their linemen to move a lot their tackles, think
202
00:09:21,280 –> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: of screens, and Simmons is excellent at it. Either zone blocking,
203
00:09:27,640 –> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: now maybe not the man blocking in the run. There’s
204
00:09:29,640 –> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: what the knaka is on him, is the so called anchor.
205
00:09:32,600 –> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: But he’s also comes from a very athletic family. His
206
00:09:34,880 –> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: dad played for the Baltimore Orioles and the Detroit Tigers.
207
00:09:38,280 –> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: You look further, his uncle was Chris Muafala. Sorry I
208
00:09:44,280 –> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: used to do this Fuamala Maafalu, who was a longtime
209
00:09:48,720 –> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: fullback for the Pittsburgh Steelers played against us, right, And
210
00:09:52,200 –> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: so the fact that he comes from bloodlines, he’s been
211
00:09:56,080 –> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: around it a little bit like Pat, so this is
212
00:09:58,800 –> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: not new to him to be at this level. Matt
213
00:10:01,800 –> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: and I had a chance to have Josh Simmons setting
214
00:10:05,080 –> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: right here the Chiefs number one draft pick of the
215
00:10:08,400 –> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five class, A big defending the Kingdom. Welcome
216
00:10:13,280 –> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: to Josh Simmons, our number one first round draft pick
217
00:10:16,640 –> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: of this twenty twenty five class, and first of all,
218
00:10:19,400 –> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: welcome to the Chiefs Kingdom.
219
00:10:21,120 –> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: Thank you so glad to be here.
220
00:10:22,640 –> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: When you got chosen, when you got the call, what
221
00:10:24,880 –> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: was going through your month?
222
00:10:26,520 –> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 4: Like a little bit of everything more surreal, Like I
223
00:10:28,480 –> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 4: was telling people that like chicken and pickles, like you’re
224
00:10:30,440 –> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 4: waiting for your mom to kind of wake you up
225
00:10:32,040 –> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: for school. Like it was one of those surreal moments.
226
00:10:34,440 –> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: So I was just trying to take it all in
227
00:10:36,960 –> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: and kind of still in the process of it.
228
00:10:38,800 –> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: This is funny for us because we’ve been doing podcasts
229
00:10:41,080 –> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: talking about potential draft picks for like weeks and months now,
230
00:10:44,040 –> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 2: and we’ve talked about you so many times and now
231
00:10:46,360 –> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: you’re just sitting here with us and you’re a Chief.
232
00:10:48,960 –> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: What were the emotions like when you realize, like I’m
233
00:10:50,880 –> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 2: going to be blocking for Patrick Mahomes of all people
234
00:10:53,280 –> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: to start your NFL career.
235
00:10:54,600 –> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, so a lot of high expectations, so you
236
00:10:56,480 –> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: got to like hit it really hard.
237
00:10:58,200 –> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: You know.
238
00:10:58,400 –> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: Pat Mahomes is like the pinnacle of you know, throwing
239
00:11:02,040 –> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 4: footballs right now and probably going to be like the
240
00:11:04,760 –> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 4: future of it. So definitely iveing to like understand like
241
00:11:08,280 –> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 4: you have a big task and a big assignment, and
242
00:11:10,440 –> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: obviously there’s a lot of vets in the room, so
243
00:11:11,960 –> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 4: you just got to really just put your head down
244
00:11:13,400 –> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 4: to work and you know, don’t get anybody’s way.
245
00:11:15,240 –> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: And that being said, Josh, how much did the Ohio
246
00:11:17,840 –> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: State experience and the SDS you experience. But at Ohio
247
00:11:21,360 –> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: State you’re going into a program that had the expectation
248
00:11:24,000 –> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: to win a national championship, So dealing with that every day,
249
00:11:28,120 –> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: how much did that help you mentally and emotionally get
250
00:11:31,200 –> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: you ready to try to be with a team that’s
251
00:11:33,080 –> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: won three Super Bowls and want to get another one.
252
00:11:35,360 –> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I guess you’re familiar.
253
00:11:36,720 –> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 4: So college the NFL is like, I can’t compare that,
254
00:11:40,000 –> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 4: but I get the feeling of always having pressure and
255
00:11:44,080 –> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: always having to chase, always getting better, and just always improving.
256
00:11:48,000 –> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: So I know that’s this is a team that’s always improving.
257
00:11:50,559 –> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 4: Pat’s always improving, Traps Trace Smith’s always improving, greed Hump
258
00:11:53,520 –> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 4: is always improving.
259
00:11:54,240 –> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: So just got to look up to those dudes and
260
00:11:56,240 –> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: do it how they do it.
261
00:11:57,400 –> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: So you had an incredible first year at Ohio State.
262
00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: Scribbled this down. You allowed one sack on almost five
263
00:12:02,679 –> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: hundred pass blocking snaps in twenty twenty three, and you
264
00:12:05,160 –> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 2: were off to an even better start last year like
265
00:12:07,320 –> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: one quarterback hurry like no hits, no sacks until you
266
00:12:09,920 –> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: got hurt. How do you think you improved as a
267
00:12:12,000 –> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 2: player between twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four. Why
268
00:12:14,760 –> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 2: were you off such a great start?
269
00:12:16,080 –> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: I think it was just kind of some of the
270
00:12:17,280 –> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: habits that I built. I’m not gonna be honest, I
271
00:12:18,720 –> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 4: wasn’t the best practice of them, but that offseason I
272
00:12:21,120 –> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 4: definitely had like a you definitely like realize, like, okay,
273
00:12:25,080 –> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 4: let’s uh every walk through rep, let’s kind of go
274
00:12:28,000 –> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 4: a little harder or maybe put yourself in a game
275
00:12:30,280 –> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 4: situation that way, when you do go to practice, you’re
276
00:12:33,320 –> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 4: playing a lot harder, a lot better. You’re kind of
277
00:12:35,720 –> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 4: able to see things that you saw on the walkthrough,
278
00:12:37,760 –> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 4: and then you just kind of take training that much
279
00:12:40,000 –> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 4: more serious, like a weight room I think should be
280
00:12:41,960 –> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: anybody playing on the line scrimmage like second home, so
281
00:12:45,840 –> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: you get stronger in that aspect, and I mean only
282
00:12:48,200 –> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 4: good things happened from there.
283
00:12:50,080 –> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: Obviously, one of your strengths is your ability to move,
284
00:12:54,120 –> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: and this offense is one that loves screens and have
285
00:12:56,840 –> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: an all five lineman move. How much did your expriantoid
286
00:13:00,480 –> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: stsu playing right tackle help you get ready for this
287
00:13:04,960 –> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: because you played right tackle for the Aztecs and left
288
00:13:07,280 –> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: tackle for ohiose Tock.
289
00:13:08,960 –> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: Uh, so you kind of get I guess you learn
290
00:13:12,400 –> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: how to play everywhere. Like I’m not really I can
291
00:13:15,480 –> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 4: play left tackle, but I’m an offensive lineman. So if
292
00:13:17,400 –> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 4: I even need to play left guard, right guard, whatever,
293
00:13:19,440 –> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 4: I’ll definitely do that because I know how to do that.
294
00:13:22,640 –> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 4: But it definitely kind of you kind of learn and
295
00:13:25,640 –> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 4: have to adjust on the fly because playing right tackle
296
00:13:27,720 –> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: to left tackle it was a big adjustment. It’s not
297
00:13:29,880 –> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 4: as easy I feel like people think. So you definitely
298
00:13:32,640 –> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 4: have to kind of kind of like drop it and
299
00:13:35,080 –> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 4: like get to it. Definitely hone it on your craft.
300
00:13:37,440 –> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: So Brett Beach was explaining a little bit about all
301
00:13:39,480 –> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: the work they did on you and a lot of
302
00:13:40,960 –> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: Zoom calls, I understand it, a lot of interviews and
303
00:13:43,280 –> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: they interviewed you, I think on zoom a few days
304
00:13:45,600 –> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: ago before the draft and to see like how much
305
00:13:47,720 –> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: you retained from some of the install they did like
306
00:13:49,440 –> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 2: a month earlier. What do you remember about that call,
307
00:13:51,320 –> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: because clearly it went pretty well.
308
00:13:52,880 –> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 4: Yeah they Yeah, Like like you said, it was a
309
00:13:55,000 –> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 4: lot of recall and kind of like what they were
310
00:13:57,840 –> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 4: kind of like they’d kind of walked through like some
311
00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 4: of the base pro stuff, and so there’s just kind
312
00:14:02,800 –> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: of like, how remember what I told you here?
313
00:14:04,640 –> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 3: What do you do here?
314
00:14:05,320 –> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: And stuff like that, and then you know, asking like
315
00:14:07,360 –> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 4: where I’m at in my angreen bay.
316
00:14:08,679 –> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: I’m at home. It’s a little stuff. It wasn’t that long.
317
00:14:11,960 –> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: Culture is a big deal. It’s been a huge deal
318
00:14:14,240 –> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: with us to win twelve straight winning seasons. But there’s
319
00:14:17,920 –> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: a subculture that exists with the offensive linemen and you’re
320
00:14:21,880 –> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: going to be surrounded. You already mentioned Tray and Creed,
321
00:14:24,480 –> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: but the fact that in that room, in that culture,
322
00:14:27,200 –> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: how do you enhance that culture? How do you absorb
323
00:14:30,400 –> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: that subculture of the old line.
324
00:14:32,640 –> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: So for me, I just learn I’m definitely picking brains.
325
00:14:36,200 –> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 4: I have the first time being in the NFL, So
326
00:14:38,120 –> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: I don’t know exactly what takes back.
327
00:14:39,960 –> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: All I can do is soaking information and soaking.
328
00:14:43,080 –> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: Kind of kind of turn into like a little ten
329
00:14:45,040 –> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: year old and kind of see what you know the
330
00:14:46,600 –> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: grown ups are doing and kind of follow their footsteps.
331
00:14:49,040 –> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: Obviously don’t want to get anybody’s way, but definitely working
332
00:14:51,360 –> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: hard in that aspect.
333
00:14:52,560 –> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: See, you’ve only been here for like forty eight hours.
334
00:14:55,040 –> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: But what are you excited to do in Kansas City?
335
00:14:56,800 –> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: What are you excited to learn about the City’s a.
336
00:14:59,120 –> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: Lot of barbecue. I think it was Q thirty nine,
337
00:15:03,040 –> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: was it those?
338
00:15:03,560 –> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: It’s one of them, Yeah, because a bunch of them.
339
00:15:05,120 –> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: Is probably the best things I’ve ever had in my life.
340
00:15:06,680 –> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: So you’ve already had some barbecue. Oh yeah, Okay, off
341
00:15:09,480 –> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 2: to a good start for sure.
342
00:15:11,240 –> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: Well, it’s awesome to have you here. You seem to
343
00:15:13,440 –> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: go to red places, like you know, you just keep
344
00:15:16,160 –> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: staying red, right, So you’re a wardrobe. But what do
345
00:15:19,160 –> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: you look forward to the most? As you get started
346
00:15:21,480 –> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: and we get started right away with Rookie Minicant.
347
00:15:24,360 –> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 4: Just yeah, like like you said, that tradition in that
348
00:15:26,320 –> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 4: culture this is second or none in the NFL. I think,
349
00:15:29,080 –> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 4: you know, playing in February and January is a testament
350
00:15:31,560 –> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 4: to that. So just getting accustomed to it, Like just
351
00:15:34,560 –> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 4: kind of reaching out to new players. You know, they’ve
352
00:15:37,120 –> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 4: been here obviously, Like I said, Trey Creed, those are
353
00:15:40,480 –> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 4: like real dudes who probably the.
354
00:15:43,120 –> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: Culture is oozing out of them.
355
00:15:44,400 –> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 4: So just kind of asking again, like asking them, don’t
356
00:15:46,760 –> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: getting their way, but definitely like kind of learn, come
357
00:15:49,240 –> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 4: to learn.
358
00:15:49,600 –> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: Now Chiefs Kingdom get excited because Josh Simmons is adding
359
00:15:53,680 –> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: to that offensive line room, so a lots to be excited.
360
00:15:57,360 –> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: He’s an engaging human. Did you notice that?
361
00:16:00,000 –> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, for sure, And he’s excited to be here,
362
00:16:03,000 –> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: which I’m fired up about. It would be very easy
363
00:16:05,160 –> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: for a player in his situation to kind of be
364
00:16:07,600 –> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: moping about the fact that you felt at thirty two. Overall,
365
00:16:10,480 –> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 2: it’s funny because we keep talking about this like a positive.
366
00:16:13,000 –> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 2: But for him, I mean, he going into the season
367
00:16:16,240 –> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: thought he was going to be the top tackle off
368
00:16:18,000 –> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 2: the board, probably taken in the top ten, top fifteen,
369
00:16:21,280 –> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: all that, and there’s money lost there. But for him,
370
00:16:24,680 –> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: he seems fired up and he knows that this is
371
00:16:26,920 –> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 2: the best situation for him. That it’s not just one
372
00:16:29,520 –> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: sided where we’re lucky that we got value with this guy.
373
00:16:32,440 –> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: For him, he sees value in it as well. I
374
00:16:34,360 –> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: think that he’s going to a Super Bowl contender that
375
00:16:37,800 –> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: has an opportunity at left tackle for him to come
376
00:16:40,240 –> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: in and compete and to maybe win that job. And
377
00:16:43,320 –> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 2: it really in so many ways as a match made
378
00:16:45,080 –> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 2: in Heaven. If I told you this in February, that
379
00:16:47,080 –> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: we’re going to get this guy and he’s going to
380
00:16:49,160 –> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: be fired up to be here, and we can talk
381
00:16:50,760 –> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 2: about OTAs in camp and going into the season saying
382
00:16:53,880 –> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: that we’ve got this great problem here where we have
383
00:16:56,560 –> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: a first round draft pick in Josh Simmons and a
384
00:16:59,200 –> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: player that we believe as well, and Jalen Moore coming
385
00:17:01,680 –> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: over from the forty nine ers. They’re going to compete
386
00:17:03,760 –> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: for that spot here over the next couple of years.
387
00:17:06,320 –> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 2: Just a big kind of change, I think from even
388
00:17:09,440 –> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 2: a few months ago.
389
00:17:10,480 –> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: The medicals the big issue that’s not a secret, but
390
00:17:13,600 –> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: your point is a good one. The cooperation from Rick
391
00:17:16,480 –> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: Broke Colt and his athletic training staff. We talk about
392
00:17:18,800 –> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: it at nauseum with the team doctors, and that’s Paul
393
00:17:22,520 –> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Schreppel and his crew. I’m a big fan of those
394
00:17:24,520 –> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: guys and the scouts and the coaches. There has to
395
00:17:27,680 –> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: be collaboration. Your dad is a prominent attorney in prograduate
396
00:17:31,280 –> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: of the University of Missouri School of Law. I got
397
00:17:34,119 –> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: accepted to three life law schools, decided not to go.
398
00:17:36,880 –> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: But if you and I were arguing the case for
399
00:17:39,640 –> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: the chiefs collaboration and cooperation, it would be people’s opinion
400
00:17:42,960 –> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: versus Tray Smith, and we would go to that where
401
00:17:45,680 –> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: a sixth round pick, now redrafted, would be a first
402
00:17:49,480 –> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: round pick. Nuff said. We move on because we feel
403
00:17:52,640 –> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: like Josh Simmons, and there’s a lot of opinion that
404
00:17:55,760 –> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: he’s going to be up and running a little quicker
405
00:17:58,240 –> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: than we thought.
406
00:17:59,119 –> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think there was a lot of think I’ll.
407
00:18:01,840 –> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: Said, I thought it was going to be October of
408
00:18:03,400 –> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: twenties five. Yeah, before we even saw this.
409
00:18:05,560 –> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 2: Guy, I think a lot of us assumed it might
410
00:18:07,240 –> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: be like a red shirt ear situation. I am not
411
00:18:09,600 –> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: getting that impression. I’m getting the impression that he is
412
00:18:12,480 –> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 2: going to have a chance to be ready by training camp.
413
00:18:15,080 –> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: I don’t know what that means necessarily. I don’t know
414
00:18:17,080 –> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: if that means he’s in pads on day one in
415
00:18:18,880 –> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: training camp, but I think he’s going to be doing
416
00:18:21,000 –> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: things at training camp, and likely I think he’ll have
417
00:18:23,760 –> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: an opportunity to compete for that spot. I don’t think
418
00:18:26,200 –> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: this is a red shirt year by any means. I
419
00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: think he’s going to have a chance to play. So
420
00:18:30,080 –> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 2: I’m fired up to get to camp and to see
421
00:18:31,560 –> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: what he can do. You kind of glazed over something
422
00:18:33,680 –> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: just now though you got into law school.
423
00:18:36,000 –> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: Yeah you didn’t know that.
424
00:18:36,800 –> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: I didn’t know that.
425
00:18:37,440 –> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, three different law schools, So why didn’t you do it?
426
00:18:40,840 –> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: Because I want to be sitting here with you?
427
00:18:42,280 –> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was in law school.
428
00:18:43,359 –> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn’t be to be with your dad on uh
429
00:18:45,400 –> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: huh South American case.
430
00:18:47,240 –> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: I’m glad that it didn’t work out.
431
00:18:48,640 –> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I lock Clark for two years too interesting.
432
00:18:52,200 –> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: New one DTKY every week.
433
00:18:53,880 –> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: Yeah that’s cool, so decided not to go. Don’t look
434
00:18:57,160 –> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 1: at my lsat score. It’s okay to get in. But yeah,
435
00:19:00,119 –> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: wasn’t going to be in a lat review. I don’t
436
00:19:01,320 –> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: think anyway.
437
00:19:02,040 –> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: You would have been amazing at that, like closing statements
438
00:19:04,200 –> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: and stuff. You would have been incredible. I’m glad you
439
00:19:06,800 –> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 2: picked this line of work, but you would have been
440
00:19:08,240 –> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: really good at that.
441
00:19:09,000 –> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you never get that far anymore though, you always settle.
442
00:19:11,680 –> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: So anyway, we move on to our second case, which
443
00:19:14,840 –> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: is the people of public opinion versus Omar Norman Lot,
444
00:19:19,000 –> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman inside lineman from the University of Tennessee.
445
00:19:23,000 –> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: Started actually at Arizona State University, played for HERM. Edwards,
446
00:19:27,000 –> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: the former chiefs head coach at ASU for the Sun Devils,
447
00:19:31,680 –> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: and played a lot actually at ASU, and then when
448
00:19:34,880 –> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: ASU went through their issues, he transferred onto Tennessee. Interesting
449
00:19:39,400 –> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: here because people, and I’ll just be right there too,
450
00:19:42,880 –> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 1: looking for where this pick was of looking for a
451
00:19:45,720 –> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: day one starter on the interior defensive line. Now you
452
00:19:49,440 –> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 1: hope that maybe Jerry Tillery becomes that guy. Or the
453
00:19:52,000 –> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: rotation big here rotation because Norman Lot becomes a replacement
454
00:19:57,560 –> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: for Turk Wharton. And if you watch us, they talk
455
00:20:00,480 –> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: about his hands and his hands being so good, and
456
00:20:02,840 –> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: his one gap penetration is snap quickness. He was a boxer.
457
00:20:07,040 –> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: Omar Norman Lot was a boxer, and you can see
458
00:20:10,080 –> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: it in the way he uses his hands and how
459
00:20:12,440 –> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: quick he is. Sometimes you get a little too quick
460
00:20:15,440 –> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: because he’ll get some penalties maybe, but jumping, the jumping
461
00:20:18,720 –> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: the snap count. But this is a one gap penetrator
462
00:20:21,960 –> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: and a pass rusher is an interior defensive line.
463
00:20:25,440 –> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: And you mentioned his hands. I think he had the
464
00:20:27,160 –> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 2: largest hands of any defensive tackle at the combine, which
465
00:20:30,760 –> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: those things matter in the end. You know, I don’t
466
00:20:33,720 –> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 2: love saying rookies are replacements for players that get twenty
467
00:20:38,119 –> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 2: million dollars a year from another team, but that’s kind
468
00:20:40,680 –> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: of what we’re saying here with Turk Wharton. What I’d
469
00:20:43,200 –> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: amended to a little bit is that I think Norman
470
00:20:47,320 –> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 2: Lot is further along as a player than Turk was
471
00:20:50,880 –> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 2: when he came in here as a rookie. And we
472
00:20:52,560 –> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: were really impressed with Turk when he first came in.
473
00:20:54,960 –> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: But Norman Lot did some really great things at Tennessee
474
00:20:57,760 –> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 2: last year and throughout his career. Last year he led
475
00:21:01,440 –> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 2: all interior defenders in pass rush win rate and win percentage.
476
00:21:05,720 –> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: He trailed only James Pierce, who got drafted in the
477
00:21:08,040 –> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: first round, by the way, in terms of pressures on Tennessee,
478
00:21:11,119 –> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 2: despite ranking twentieth on the team in defensive snaps. So
479
00:21:15,080 –> 00:21:17,479
Speaker 2: you might wonder, well, why wasn’t he playing more? They
480
00:21:17,480 –> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 2: had a heavy rotation at Tennessee with their defensive tackles,
481
00:21:20,880 –> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: and if you think about like Nil, now you get
482
00:21:23,640 –> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 2: all these prospects that come in. You have to let
483
00:21:26,320 –> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 2: all your players play, So it makes sense that he
484
00:21:29,840 –> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 2: wasn’t playing a ton. What matters is that when he
485
00:21:32,359 –> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: was on the field, he was incredibly productive, like more
486
00:21:35,480 –> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: productive than any defensive tackle in the nation. So you
487
00:21:39,160 –> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 2: just look at the tape, you evaluate what you see
488
00:21:41,400 –> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: when the player is on the field, and he’s going
489
00:21:43,400 –> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: to have a chance to come in here and kind
490
00:21:44,960 –> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 2: of fill that void left by Turk where you’re that
491
00:21:47,040 –> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 2: three tech pass rushing defensive tackle on passing downs. And
492
00:21:50,880 –> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: he is shown during his college career and especially last
493
00:21:54,000 –> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: season he can do that really really well. And he’s
494
00:21:57,040 –> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 2: bigger than Turk. So Turk Wharton was a really good
495
00:21:59,720 –> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 2: player for this team. I think kind of underappreciated throughout
496
00:22:02,720 –> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: his career. But to go out and get a player
497
00:22:05,000 –> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 2: like this when I think this might have been like
498
00:22:06,800 –> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: our biggest need. Honestly, if you’re going through the list
499
00:22:09,800 –> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: of needs for the Chiefs, that defensive tackle you could
500
00:22:13,000 –> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 2: put next to Chris Jones on passing downs just to
501
00:22:15,200 –> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: have some depth there and a guy that has some
502
00:22:16,960 –> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: juice and some twitch. We got that player and Omar
503
00:22:19,960 –> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 2: Norman Lott and I look at a lot of different
504
00:22:22,440 –> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: big boards because everyone kind of has different opinions and
505
00:22:25,560 –> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: I try not to get too much into the group think,
506
00:22:27,320 –> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: which happens sometimes with these players. But Pro Football Focus
507
00:22:30,680 –> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: had him as the number four defensive tackle on their board,
508
00:22:33,440 –> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 2: behind only Mason Graham, Walter Nolan, and Kenneth Grant, and
509
00:22:36,880 –> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 2: we got that guy. So I love this pick and
510
00:22:39,440 –> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 2: I’m excited to see what he can do.
511
00:22:40,880 –> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Negative would say, did that many snaps? You look at
512
00:22:43,320 –> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: his win past percentage win rate of his snaps, but
513
00:22:49,520 –> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: they’re saying, well, that’s not a lot of snaps. Well, again,
514
00:22:52,440 –> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: it goes back to your rotation. One of the reasons
515
00:22:54,320 –> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have been elite on defense really since twenty two.
516
00:22:57,720 –> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: You look at twenty two, twenty three, and twenty four.
517
00:23:00,160 –> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: We talk about the scoring defense, let the rushing defense.
518
00:23:04,560 –> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: A big reason is this rotation that the Chiefs have
519
00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And it’s nearly impossible to have Mike Danna,
520
00:23:11,760 –> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: George Carloftis Felix and yudikiu Is. I’m gonna go right
521
00:23:14,840 –> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: down the line. Now you get inside, you get Jerry Tillery,
522
00:23:17,119 –> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: Chris Jones leads the way, Mike Panell. You look at
523
00:23:20,320 –> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: a seven or eight man rotation. This is where Norman
524
00:23:22,880 –> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: Lott fits in, and it segues right into our next
525
00:23:25,800 –> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: guy because Jelotti is right there with the rest of them.
526
00:23:29,760 –> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: So to get asked in Jelotti another guy that has
527
00:23:33,920 –> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: been an outstanding pass rusher. His twenty twenty three was
528
00:23:37,200 –> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: crazy with eleven sacks, and the sacks fell off in
529
00:23:41,200 –> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: twenty four, but it wasn’t a effort. I think you
530
00:23:45,800 –> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: got more attention. His brother’s an MMA fighter and it
531
00:23:49,359 –> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: shows because this guy plays football like he’s doing mixed
532
00:23:52,600 –> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: martial arts and if you look at him, you’re going
533
00:23:56,640 –> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: kind of reminds me of George Carloftis. He works out
534
00:23:59,560 –> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 1: with George Carloftis. Yeah, these two guys know each other.
535
00:24:03,000 –> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: And so this defensive line rotation of all the dudes
536
00:24:06,040 –> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: that I mentioned didn’t throwing Norman lot You got another
537
00:24:09,040 –> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: one right after that with Gelatti.
538
00:24:11,000 –> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: So Gelatti and George share a common college coach. A
539
00:24:15,040 –> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 2: coach that was at Purdue with George then was at
540
00:24:17,920 –> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 2: Louisville last year with Gelatti, and he linked them up
541
00:24:21,880 –> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: so well. Before any of this happened, George was reviewing
542
00:24:25,280 –> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: Gelatti’s film and telling them, Hey, this is how you
543
00:24:27,600 –> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 2: need to get better. This is what you got to do,
544
00:24:29,560 –> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: and being kind of like critical because that’s what everyone needs,
545
00:24:32,320 –> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 2: right and saying, hey, this wasn’t very good. You could
546
00:24:34,400 –> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: do that better, And Gelotti would would text George ask
547
00:24:38,240 –> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: him thoughts on things, Hey can you break this down?
548
00:24:40,560 –> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 2: What do you know? They’re now teammates. Everything I’ve gathered
549
00:24:43,440 –> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: about Gelotti is he is like a super super high
550
00:24:46,359 –> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: character guy and he’s a high motor like he’s going
551
00:24:49,280 –> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: to give it everything he has. And that sounds a
552
00:24:52,080 –> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: lot like someone else we know, George Carloftis, So it’s
553
00:24:54,640 –> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 2: kind of like like George is established. I don’t want
554
00:24:57,080 –> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 2: to say that, you know, Gelati is going to be George.
555
00:25:00,480 –> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 2: He has to go out there and earn it. But
556
00:25:02,119 –> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: we might have drafted another George Carloftis, and I think
557
00:25:04,640 –> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 2: we’d certainly take that. I love his size. He’s sixty
558
00:25:07,560 –> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: three two hundred and sixty four pounds, so he’s a
559
00:25:09,640 –> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: total Steve Spagnolo edge rusher kind of prospect where he
560
00:25:13,080 –> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: can play inside and outside just like George does from
561
00:25:15,440 –> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: time to time. He’s a Bruce Feldman freaks list guy,
562
00:25:18,800 –> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: like athletic freak. If you look back at his Feldman’s article.
563
00:25:22,840 –> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: I think it was twenty twenty two. We talked about
564
00:25:24,520 –> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 2: some of the crazy things that Gelotti did to get
565
00:25:26,640 –> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 2: on that list, and also you mentioned the great production
566
00:25:30,160 –> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 2: two years ago he did. He had fourteen and a
567
00:25:32,359 –> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 2: half tackles for loss eleven sacks in twenty twenty three.
568
00:25:35,760 –> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: Traditional numbers down a little bit last year, but the
569
00:25:38,520 –> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: pressures created were actually higher last year than the year prior.
570
00:25:42,240 –> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 2: He had sixty pressures created last year, fifty eight in
571
00:25:44,960 –> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three, so everything was there, just didn’t necessarily
572
00:25:49,080 –> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 2: have like the sacks, but the pressures were still happening well.
573
00:25:52,400 –> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: And again people the criticism here his looks like a
574
00:25:55,000 –> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: sub guy. You did not get a starter with the
575
00:25:58,040 –> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: Chiefs since Spagnola. Here’s what we’re going to try to
576
00:26:00,400 –> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: tell you here, the fact that you have eight starters,
577
00:26:03,440 –> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: and that’s what’s crazy. I mean, you got Chris who
578
00:26:05,760 –> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: stands out right, he’s the elite inside defender now in
579
00:26:08,720 –> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: the National Football League. But the other guys around him
580
00:26:11,640 –> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: can play inside and outside and they do a lot
581
00:26:14,040 –> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: of different things. The other thing, but Jelatti would be
582
00:26:16,080 –> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: developing more moves and counter moves. He’ll have to do that.
583
00:26:20,480 –> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: The negative the red flag on him was, well, wait
584
00:26:22,720 –> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: until he faces the lead offensive tackles in the league.
585
00:26:24,920 –> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: That’s not gonna work. He’s gonna have to have some
586
00:26:26,480 –> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: other stuff. You can say that about every past rusher
587
00:26:29,640 –> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: in the college football. Sure, that’s what Felix is learning.
588
00:26:32,440 –> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: Felix has got some stuff, but now he’s learning move
589
00:26:36,680 –> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: four and move five. And that’s where George being big
590
00:26:38,960 –> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: brother for Gelatti helps.
591
00:26:40,359 –> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: I remember when George first came out and the whole
592
00:26:43,160 –> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: rap on him was he was just a power rushers,
593
00:26:45,440 –> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 2: the bull rusher, he couldn’t get around the edge. I
594
00:26:47,640 –> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: think George proved those doubts wrong. I mean, George is
595
00:26:50,280 –> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: one of the best young pass rushers in the NFL,
596
00:26:53,000 –> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: consistent eight to ten sack guy every single year. And
597
00:26:56,320 –> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: that’s what Gelatti could turn into. And he’ll have opportunities here.
598
00:26:59,200 –> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: And I’m with you looking at just the edge rushers.
599
00:27:01,760 –> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 2: So now you have Charles men who, you have Mike Dana,
600
00:27:04,440 –> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 2: you have George Carloftis, you have Felix and new Dicky Uzama,
601
00:27:07,400 –> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 2: who even though the volume stuff hasn’t been there for Felix,
602
00:27:09,680 –> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: like when he’s been on the field, Felix has made
603
00:27:11,359 –> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: some plays, and then you add Gelatti in the mix
604
00:27:13,840 –> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 2: now as well. You still have Malik Herring here, and
605
00:27:16,640 –> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: you have those interior rushers. It’s just really exciting. And
606
00:27:19,720 –> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 2: this has been kind of the impetus I think of
607
00:27:22,160 –> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: the offseason is just getting better in the trenches on
608
00:27:24,800 –> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 2: both sides. And with both Jelatti and Norman Lott, we did.
609
00:27:28,480 –> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: That long season. You don’t want to grind guys into
610
00:27:31,680 –> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: the ground. I know you’re trying to win fantasy football
611
00:27:33,720 –> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: with a guy you know on sacks. But for the
612
00:27:36,359 –> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs to run that long race with a
613
00:27:40,240 –> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: bunch of different guys who all can play up front
614
00:27:43,400 –> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: is one of the biggest assets the Kansas City Chiefs
615
00:27:46,240 –> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: have have had and will have going into twenty twenty five.
616
00:27:50,119 –> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: Another asset that they will have, well, let’s put it
617
00:27:52,240 –> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: this way. Cam Ward was the one to one pick
618
00:27:55,240 –> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty five draft for the Tennessee Titans.
619
00:27:59,000 –> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 1: There was a pick against him when they played cal
620
00:28:02,680 –> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: Buy the Chiefs pick in Noah Williams and Noel You
621
00:28:07,040 –> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: talk about ball skills, guy, just listen to this. First
622
00:28:11,080 –> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: of all, he loves to tackle, So see if this
623
00:28:13,000 –> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: sounds like a corner that Spags would like. Two hundred
624
00:28:15,840 –> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: and three total tackles, one hundred and thirty four of
625
00:28:18,640 –> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: those are solos, fourteen career interceptions, seven last year, four
626
00:28:25,080 –> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: scoop and scores, and the pick six. Oh throw in
627
00:28:28,320 –> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: an eighty yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Now he’s
628
00:28:32,040 –> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: a bigger thicker. I don’t think it’s too far to
629
00:28:35,720 –> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: give the comp here to a potential replacement over time
630
00:28:38,720 –> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: to Austin Reed. Yeah, he looks safety ish with corner skills.
631
00:28:43,720 –> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: He could look he plays in the box. He obviously
632
00:28:45,800 –> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: wants to tackle, which is a rerequisite for playing for
633
00:28:49,200 –> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: Steve Spagnolo and this defensive secondary group, but also has
634
00:28:54,440 –> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: the ball skills. So here again is a guy you
635
00:28:57,800 –> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: talk about valuing the draft, What double value it appears
636
00:29:01,480 –> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: to get.
637
00:29:01,880 –> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: Noel Williams, You know what’s funny is I love late
638
00:29:05,280 –> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: night sporting events, like when Ellie is asleep and it’s
639
00:29:08,320 –> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: like eleven forty five and I can’t sleep and I
640
00:29:10,360 –> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: can win.
641
00:29:10,760 –> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: The Cornhall Championships.
642
00:29:12,440 –> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 2: So not so much like random stuff.
643
00:29:14,320 –> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: It’s like that they have the NASCAR suits on right
644
00:29:17,000 –> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: with all the sponsors.
645
00:29:17,960 –> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: I can’t quite get into that it’s more like the
646
00:29:19,840 –> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: sports that I love. But I’ll parachute in as like
647
00:29:22,320 –> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 2: a fan of a random team. Like last night, I
648
00:29:25,640 –> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: stayed up until like twelve forty five watching the Oilers
649
00:29:28,680 –> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 2: and King’s playoff game because it went to overtime. I
650
00:29:31,160 –> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: just decided I was going to root for the Oilers,
651
00:29:32,880 –> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: and I watched it and then went to bed afterward.
652
00:29:34,920 –> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: And who knows if I’ll ever watch the Oilers again,
653
00:29:37,360 –> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: but I’ll do that sometimes. And I remember watching that, uh, that.
654
00:29:41,640 –> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: Miami cal playoff overtime hockey.
655
00:29:44,080 –> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 2: It’s the best, it is the best, but any.
656
00:29:45,960 –> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 1: Second, any fraction of a second, decides it.
657
00:29:48,120 –> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 2: I stayed up till like two am watching that cow
658
00:29:51,480 –> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: Miami game where Noel Williams picked off cam Ward. I
659
00:29:55,240 –> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: remember that. It’s the only time I watched Miami or
660
00:29:59,160 –> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: col all your I watched that game, and it’s just
661
00:30:02,720 –> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: funny that now Noel Williams is a chief.
662
00:30:05,080 –> 00:30:06,719
Speaker 1: A long time ACC rivals.
663
00:30:06,720 –> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 2: By the way, how crazy is it that’s an ACC
664
00:30:09,240 –> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 2: Conference game. It’s like a six hour flight. The game
665
00:30:12,480 –> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: ended at like I mean, it was like twelve forty
666
00:30:15,560 –> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: five Central time. It was super late and they had
667
00:30:17,760 –> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: to fly all the way back to Miami, just saying
668
00:30:20,560 –> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 2: but anyway, I mean, I’m super excited about Noel Williams
669
00:30:24,320 –> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: for a bunch of reasons. You laid them all out.
670
00:30:26,480 –> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 2: It’s the length. If you look at this corner class,
671
00:30:28,800 –> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 2: particularly kind of where they got Noel Williams, a lot
672
00:30:31,320 –> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: of good corners, but it’s a lot of nickels. It’s
673
00:30:33,840 –> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: and that’s important, but it’s players that are not going
674
00:30:36,000 –> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: to play on the outside very much or have that
675
00:30:37,960 –> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: safety versatility. It’s guys that are going to play in
676
00:30:40,160 –> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 2: the slot. Well, Noel Williams is what was numbers here.
677
00:30:45,720 –> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: He’s six foot tall, I think two hundred pounds with
678
00:30:48,680 –> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: ball skills, so seven interceptions led the FBS last year.
679
00:30:51,920 –> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: His fourteen career picks were the second most of any
680
00:30:54,480 –> 00:30:57,479
Speaker 2: player in this draft class. He mentioned the scoop and scores.
681
00:30:57,560 –> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: He’s durable, fifty career starts, all right, so he’s not
682
00:31:00,640 –> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 2: getting hurt very often. And the run defense really stands
683
00:31:03,640 –> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 2: out to me that you talked about, because so many
684
00:31:05,960 –> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: times corners, especially corners like with ball skills, that have
685
00:31:08,720 –> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: a lot of interceptions, that’s maybe all they care about.
686
00:31:11,320 –> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 2: They’re not super interested in defending the run. But wherever
687
00:31:14,000 –> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: you look, whether it be Matt Miller, PFF, Dane Bugler.
688
00:31:17,400 –> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 2: Everyone talked about how he might have been the best
689
00:31:20,560 –> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: run defending corner in this class, Like he’s an outstanding
690
00:31:23,400 –> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 2: run defender. We asked him about that. On his post
691
00:31:26,360 –> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 2: draft press or, he talked about how much he enjoys
692
00:31:28,520 –> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 2: being a run defender, Like every single play, it’s not
693
00:31:31,280 –> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 2: about can I just get an interception here, or is
694
00:31:33,600 –> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: the ball coming my way? Can I set the edge here?
695
00:31:36,440 –> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: Or as a running back coming my way? Can I
696
00:31:38,360 –> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: help my team in any way I can. That’s a
697
00:31:40,560 –> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 2: mindset thing that just a lot of corners don’t have
698
00:31:42,760 –> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 2: because they’re playing that outside, premium skill position, and that’s
699
00:31:45,880 –> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 2: a big deal. So Spags is going to love him.
700
00:31:49,080 –> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 2: We know that he also has a ton of special
701
00:31:51,120 –> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: teams experience as well, so I think he’ll fit in
702
00:31:53,280 –> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: right away on special teams. And he gives you flexibility
703
00:31:55,800 –> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: on the outside where if Trent McDuffie’s playing inside more.
704
00:31:58,840 –> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: Now that Christian Fulton’s here in town, you Jillen Watson
705
00:32:01,680 –> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 2: as well, you can mix him in the rotation too.
706
00:32:04,600 –> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: That’s just a really good group of long corners who
707
00:32:07,240 –> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: make your defense better Overall.
708
00:32:08,720 –> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: The secondary for the Chiefs in twenty twenty five could
709
00:32:11,360 –> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: be measurably better. And Noel Williams is part of that.
710
00:32:16,000 –> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: The knock on him not great straight ahead speed four
711
00:32:18,920 –> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: or five, but setting the edge. We think about that
712
00:32:21,400 –> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: in the run game. Which great that you brought that up,
713
00:32:24,880 –> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: but the edge is also said in this era of football,
714
00:32:28,080 –> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: on bubble screens, tunnel screens, it cannot get outside. And
715
00:32:32,120 –> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: the chief corners have done. You go look at Jalen Watson,
716
00:32:34,760 –> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: you go down to obviously Trent McDuffie, but Joshua Williams,
717
00:32:37,920 –> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: even Chuarius Ward back in the day where you lock in,
718
00:32:41,440 –> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: you cannot let that play get outside. The Chiefs are
719
00:32:44,240 –> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 1: the best team in this league in defending those kind
720
00:32:46,200 –> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: of plays because their corners are physical, They’re willing to
721
00:32:49,800 –> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: make plays like that and they get to the outside.
722
00:32:53,040 –> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: It’s even the strip play in Germany of Tyreek Hill.
723
00:32:57,520 –> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: It’s a play, it’s a perimeter play, a quick, okay,
724
00:33:00,040 –> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: quick route, but you cannot let that plaguet outside. If
725
00:33:02,760 –> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: your corner is physical enough to hold the edge that
726
00:33:05,400 –> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: somebody can come in and rip the ball out and
727
00:33:08,960 –> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: then your safeties and backers come to fill that’s what
728
00:33:11,840 –> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: this kid can do, and he does it in his sleep.
729
00:33:13,960 –> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: Now we go to Saturday. Now we go where everybody’s
730
00:33:16,080 –> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: gone right, accept the Scouts and bird and there and
731
00:33:20,640 –> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: social and the sixty five TPT Crew and Jalen Royal’s
732
00:33:25,400 –> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: of Utah State, the fighting Aggies from Logan, Utah becomes
733
00:33:29,800 –> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 1: a Kansas City chief. I whooped and ran down and started.
734
00:33:35,080 –> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: I came in and saw you guys so fired up.
735
00:33:37,920 –> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: And this guy, to me is a Juju Smith Schuster lookalike.
736
00:33:42,400 –> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Now let’s jump into what’s not so obvious about him.
737
00:33:45,080 –> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: Why did he get to Utah State? He was a
738
00:33:46,960 –> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: zero star recruit.
739
00:33:48,080 –> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: You love this, I love this.
740
00:33:49,680 –> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: He goes to Georgia Military. He was a point guard.
741
00:33:53,000 –> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: So in the summer, guys that want to get to
742
00:33:55,000 –> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: the NFL go to all these camps. Right, colleges have
743
00:33:58,280 –> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: their own combines. So issue company might be a regional,
744
00:34:01,720 –> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 1: but whatever, And these they go to camps to get
745
00:34:04,440 –> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: on the circle start to be looked at. He didn’t
746
00:34:06,640 –> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: do any of that. He’s playing AEU basketball as a
747
00:34:09,560 –> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 1: point guard. This guy could have been a Division one
748
00:34:13,000 –> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 1: or high Division two basketball player. Think about Pat Mahomes.
749
00:34:16,120 –> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: The reason he wasn’t was highly recruited. Was the fact
750
00:34:19,680 –> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: that not only was a baseball prospect, he could have
751
00:34:22,440 –> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: been a Division one basketball point guard. Okay, this kid
752
00:34:26,000 –> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: goes under the radar, goes to Georgia Military Institute Junior college. Right,
753
00:34:30,800 –> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: I said he was in formation, not single back formation,
754
00:34:34,280 –> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 1: literal formation with somebody yelling at him. All right, shows
755
00:34:37,560 –> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: up at Utah State and blows up so here. The
756
00:34:42,239 –> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: year he had in twenty three was crazy. The only
757
00:34:45,200 –> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: FBS wide receiver with seventy plus catches, fifteen touchdowns, seventy
758
00:34:49,680 –> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: five first downs. This dude picked up man and he
759
00:34:53,200 –> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: stayed loyal to Utah State. He stayed there two years,
760
00:34:58,120 –> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: and he was going to have another. He gets hurt
761
00:35:00,560 –> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: seven games into this last year at Utah State. I
762
00:35:04,280 –> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: cannot wait to meet this kid. I cannot wait to
763
00:35:06,560 –> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: talk to him. He’s got IQ, he’s got toughness, looks
764
00:35:09,680 –> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: like Juju Smith Schuster. But I’ve often said this, and
765
00:35:12,880 –> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: I’m fired up. You can tell I like my lineman
766
00:35:15,640 –> 00:35:18,759
Speaker 1: to be wrestlers. Yeah, create Humphrey. If you got a
767
00:35:18,800 –> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: stud athlete who was a stud high school wrestler, love it.
768
00:35:23,640 –> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 1: Offensive and defensive line footwork, leverage, move, countermove, hand placement.
769
00:35:27,920 –> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: I love my wide receivers and quarterbacks to be point
770
00:35:30,440 –> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: guards in basketball, and that’s what this kid is. I’m
771
00:35:33,680 –> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: fired up about it.
772
00:35:34,560 –> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 2: No, I am too. It might be my favorite pick
773
00:35:36,360 –> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: of the draft. Again, crazy value here. Look at the
774
00:35:40,120 –> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: big boards, like Pro Football Focus had him as the
775
00:35:42,200 –> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: sixty overall player, Dan Bugler had him as the sixty
776
00:35:45,160 –> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: three overall player. We get him at one thirty three.
777
00:35:48,520 –> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: And he’s not just a flash in the pan guy
778
00:35:50,440 –> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 2: like that. Twenty twenty three season gets a lot of attention,
779
00:35:53,160 –> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 2: but I think he was off to an even better
780
00:35:54,719 –> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: start last year. He was fourth in the FBS and
781
00:35:57,640 –> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: receiving yards per game through seven games when he got injured.
782
00:36:01,120 –> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 2: They missed the final five with the foot injury. Maybe
783
00:36:03,840 –> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: the foot injury is why he fell. I don’t know,
784
00:36:05,840 –> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 2: but his production was crazy when he was on the field,
785
00:36:08,719 –> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 2: and the Juju comp is good because he’s kind of
786
00:36:10,880 –> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: like this like stocky physical receiver. But he’s not just
787
00:36:15,239 –> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 2: like possession guy that catches the ball and contorts his
788
00:36:18,600 –> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 2: body and that’s all you get. He’s like a big
789
00:36:20,920 –> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 2: play machine. I mean, he had ten catches of fifty
790
00:36:24,680 –> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: or more yards over the last two years, most of
791
00:36:27,200 –> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: any player in the FBS, nobody had more than this guy.
792
00:36:31,360 –> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 2: He has good speed. He runs a four to four
793
00:36:33,280 –> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: to two like that’s a good speed for his size.
794
00:36:35,480 –> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: But it’s his ability to make defenders miss, like in
795
00:36:38,200 –> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: space that makes him so special. And that’s what Juju
796
00:36:40,520 –> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: was so great at early in his career and it
797
00:36:42,239 –> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 2: still is. Seventeen forcemiss tackles last year. That was eighth
798
00:36:46,600 –> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: among all receivers in the FBS prior to getting injured,
799
00:36:49,800 –> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 2: and he averaged eight yards after the catch. Watch this
800
00:36:52,600 –> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 2: guy’s highlights, like it’s endless of him just making players
801
00:36:55,880 –> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: miss in the open field. He reminds me a lot
802
00:36:58,000 –> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 2: of Rashi as well, where he kind of turns in
803
00:37:00,120 –> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: are running back when he has the ball in his hands.
804
00:37:01,880 –> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: He’s stocky and physical but also elusive at the same time.
805
00:37:06,040 –> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 2: I just think Coach Reid’s gonna love this guy. Like
806
00:37:08,080 –> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 2: stuff behind the line of scrimmage for sure, but also
807
00:37:11,080 –> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: quick slants ten yards down a field. He’ll make a
808
00:37:14,040 –> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 2: guy miss and break it off for a big play.
809
00:37:16,320 –> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: So you had a player like this to a group
810
00:37:18,520 –> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: that already includes Rashie Rice who will be healthy, Xavier’
811
00:37:22,239 –> 00:37:25,320
Speaker 2: worthy obviously had a great season last year, Hollywood Brown
812
00:37:25,440 –> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: going to be healthy and have a full season now
813
00:37:27,120 –> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs and Juju Smith Schuster. I mean, that’s
814
00:37:30,040 –> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: a really, really good group of receivers in compared to
815
00:37:33,320 –> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 2: what we had this time last year going into the draft.
816
00:37:36,880 –> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: I mean, this has just been a revelation. I think.
817
00:37:39,640 –> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: So we’re hoping to see more firepower and more explosiveness
818
00:37:43,560 –> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 2: from the offense this year. I think we’re gonna get
819
00:37:45,840 –> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 2: it because of the guys that we’re getting back from injury.
820
00:37:48,000 –> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: And then you throw this guy in the mix. Just
821
00:37:50,640 –> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 2: really fired up about it.
822
00:37:52,320 –> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: I’ve talked about the door hinge receiver. I learned that
823
00:37:54,520 –> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: in coach reads first year here and back in twenty thirteen,
824
00:37:57,600 –> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: how important they are. We’ll save that for a whole
825
00:37:59,520 –> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: other episode. But this guy could be your door hinge
826
00:38:03,280 –> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: receiver and become so vital to this football team. All right.
827
00:38:08,280 –> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: Then it goes Saturday, just there’s a spectacular data. You’re
828
00:38:12,040 –> 00:38:16,000
Speaker 1: talking about value, immediate impact, and then Jeffrey Bass I
829
00:38:16,000 –> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: think it’s Bess or boss Abassa. But this guy, what
830
00:38:19,520 –> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: he did at Oregon reminds you. And by the way,
831
00:38:22,360 –> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: going back to Royals, his high school was Evan Ingram’s
832
00:38:25,360 –> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: High school. It was Bradley Chubbs High School.
833
00:38:27,920 –> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 2: Wow.
834
00:38:28,360 –> 00:38:31,879
Speaker 1: So there’s dudes that come out of Jalen Royals High
835
00:38:31,880 –> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: School and you Royals fans went into were Royals eighty five?
836
00:38:34,800 –> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Stay tuned on that. We’ll see.
837
00:38:36,040 –> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: I can’t get him fifteen, but maybe eighty five and.
838
00:38:38,880 –> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: Sixty nine the first year of Royals existence doesn’t work
839
00:38:41,680 –> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: because that’s ineligible, all right, but eighty five would be
840
00:38:44,280 –> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: kind of fun.
841
00:38:44,719 –> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 2: It would be you know. I asked him on his
842
00:38:46,480 –> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 2: post draft zoom call. I was like, are you a
843
00:38:48,719 –> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 2: baseball fan at all? And he’s like, you know, I’m
844
00:38:50,760 –> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: trying to get more into baseball. And I’m like, are
845
00:38:52,640 –> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: you aware of what the team’s name is in Kansas City?
846
00:38:55,239 –> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: And he is aware. So there’s like a marketing opportunity
847
00:38:57,960 –> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 2: there that I think you should take advantage of.
848
00:39:00,120 –> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: Quick Before he throws out the first pitch at a
849
00:39:02,360 –> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: Royal skame.
850
00:39:03,040 –> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 2: The Royals already tweeted about it, like immediately They’re like,
851
00:39:05,320 –> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 2: that’s a great pick. I mean, how funny is it?
852
00:39:07,239 –> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: I remember like studying all the receivers and seeing him,
853
00:39:10,520 –> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 2: and the thought crossed my mind, how funny would that
854
00:39:12,640 –> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 2: be if he ended up here, and of course it
855
00:39:15,040 –> 00:39:15,959
Speaker 2: just works out that way.
856
00:39:16,080 –> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: I’d be like the Royals taking a picture named Ralph Chiefs.
857
00:39:19,320 –> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: Yeah right, the chief bender of some of those you know.
858
00:39:22,000 –> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: So now, yeah, he’ll have to go get a Royals jersey,
859
00:39:25,960 –> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: Royals Royals and then of course his jersey’s going to
860
00:39:27,960 –> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: say Chief’s Royals. I just feel like, especially if it
861
00:39:30,640 –> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 2: was eighty five, a lot of people are going to
862
00:39:32,239 –> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: buy this jersey. And if he’s as good as that,
863
00:39:34,280 –> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: we think he’s going to be even more, we’ll buy.
864
00:39:36,360 –> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: It, love it and love the Oregon linebacker and Jeffrey
865
00:39:39,480 –> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: Bess if you look at him now, a couple of things.
866
00:39:43,719 –> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: You have to go be on the obvious with all
867
00:39:45,840 –> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: these guys. We got an MMA fighter, we got a boxer,
868
00:39:48,320 –> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: we’ve got a point guard. And this one is a
869
00:39:51,960 –> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: guy who started as a safety. Fact he came to
870
00:39:54,440 –> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: Oregon as a safety. To me, you’re looking at it,
871
00:39:57,480 –> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: there’s a little bit of Willigay junior in him, because
872
00:40:00,280 –> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: it looks like the open field kind of linebacker safety combo.
873
00:40:05,160 –> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: But then you look at what he did four years
874
00:40:07,120 –> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 1: of special teams at Oregon four years. So when he
875
00:40:09,920 –> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: became like mainline starting dude for the Ducks. He didn’t
876
00:40:13,080 –> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: come off special teams. He was awesome and his play
877
00:40:16,160 –> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 1: speed is off the charts. But what he did was
878
00:40:20,000 –> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl was ran the huddle for the
879
00:40:23,120 –> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: national team. So now you start to think green dot guy,
880
00:40:27,960 –> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: and he was essentially we know about Nick Bolton and
881
00:40:30,200 –> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: what he does is the green dot for the Kansas
882
00:40:31,800 –> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, the traffic cop air traffic controller. That’s what
883
00:40:36,160 –> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 1: Jeffrey did for the Oregon Ducks. And so you bring
884
00:40:39,320 –> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 1: that into play with a guy that looks like he
885
00:40:41,160 –> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: can play will maybe some mic, special teams, open field,
886
00:40:45,280 –> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: hybrid safety, total spags guy, but this looks like a
887
00:40:49,360 –> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: Dave Tobe guy from day one.
888
00:40:50,960 –> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: I get like college val victorian vibes from this guy.
889
00:40:54,239 –> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 2: He’s really really smart and you can tell it’s when
890
00:40:57,640 –> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: he talked to him and all of the coaches if
891
00:40:59,800 –> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: he you look at draft guys, they just rave about him.
892
00:41:02,760 –> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy is super intelligent and is capable
893
00:41:05,520 –> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 2: of handling a lot of information and data coming in
894
00:41:08,680 –> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 2: and that’s why him being the green dot at Oregon
895
00:41:11,239 –> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 2: is so useful because it’s really hard to do that,
896
00:41:14,400 –> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 2: like the green Dot is the quarterback of the defense.
897
00:41:16,680 –> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 2: Like here in Kansas City, it’s Nick Bolton, and he’s
898
00:41:18,640 –> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 2: the one that’s relaying everything to everyone on the field
899
00:41:21,920 –> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 2: in like an instant. And that’s what Jeffrey Bassa did
900
00:41:25,520 –> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 2: at Oregon, a big time program, playing a lot of
901
00:41:28,320 –> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 2: big time games every single week, and he was the
902
00:41:31,280 –> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 2: guy in the middle of the defense calling the whole thing,
903
00:41:34,200 –> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: and that’s really difficult to do. His first game ever
904
00:41:37,480 –> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: at linebacker was against C. J. Stroud in Ohio State
905
00:41:41,280 –> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 2: when he was asked, because of injuries at the linebacker position,
906
00:41:44,719 –> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: can you move from safety to linebacker? And how cool
907
00:41:47,760 –> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 2: is it that he was like, no problem, Sure, I’ll
908
00:41:49,640 –> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 2: do it. He played safety his whole life, was recruited
909
00:41:52,719 –> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: as a safety, going to be a safety at Oregon,
910
00:41:54,719 –> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 2: got asked to move to linebacker, and he said, yeah,
911
00:41:56,960 –> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 2: I’ll do it to help the team, and what do
912
00:41:59,080 –> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, he ended up being really good at it,
913
00:42:01,440 –> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: super consistent, had at least forty five tackles in all
914
00:42:03,960 –> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: four seasons at Oregon. You mentioned the special teams experience,
915
00:42:07,280 –> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 2: and how cool is it that your green Dot is
916
00:42:09,120 –> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 2: playing on special teams? How many major programs is there
917
00:42:13,280 –> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: green Dot playing on special teams and kick coverage and
918
00:42:15,760 –> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Like he just kind of says the
919
00:42:17,400 –> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 2: kind of guy that he is, he wants to help
920
00:42:18,880 –> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 2: the team any way that he can. And to me,
921
00:42:21,120 –> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: he reminds me a lot of Drew Tranquil, because Tranquill
922
00:42:24,120 –> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: was a safety at Notre Dame moved a linebacker. Kind
923
00:42:26,760 –> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: of that hybrid coverage kind of guy. That’s what Basa is.
924
00:42:31,040 –> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 2: But Drew also can wear the green dot. I mean
925
00:42:33,280 –> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 2: when Nick was hurt a couple of years ago, Drew
926
00:42:35,320 –> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 2: was our green dot, and Bassa’s the same kind of player.
927
00:42:38,000 –> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: So if you’re looking for kind of a comp to me,
928
00:42:40,120 –> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 2: it’s Drew Tranquil And yeah, well they Gay is a
929
00:42:41,719 –> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 2: great one as well, where super athletic coverage guy can
930
00:42:44,880 –> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 2: get out there and cover. And I’m excited about this
931
00:42:47,760 –> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: because you can never have enough of these guys. He’s
932
00:42:49,480 –> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 2: going to help us on special teams and also just
933
00:42:51,520 –> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 2: makes that linebacker room even deeper with another player who,
934
00:42:55,440 –> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 2: god forbid, if you had a bunch of injuries, is
935
00:42:57,239 –> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: capable of going out there handling all the bullets flying
936
00:43:00,400 –> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 2: and the data and can call a defense. Not an
937
00:43:02,960 –> 00:43:04,759
Speaker 2: easy thing to do, and we might have gotten another
938
00:43:04,760 –> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: one here in Jeffrey Bassett.
939
00:43:06,040 –> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: We talk about the defensive line rotation. Think of the
940
00:43:08,280 –> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: linebacker room. Now, this guy walks in with Tranquill and
941
00:43:11,400 –> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 1: Leo Chanel and Nick Bolton and Jack Cockran go right
942
00:43:15,320 –> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: down the line. I mean this, it’s a really really
943
00:43:17,200 –> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: good linebacker room. And I think special teams could be
944
00:43:20,239 –> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 1: appreciably better next year, not only because of him, because
945
00:43:22,800 –> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: of others. And then the last pick. Going into the draft,
946
00:43:26,920 –> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: I was hoping to get it started. You know, third
947
00:43:30,719 –> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 1: down backs. Man, I’ve just an I can’t believe this
948
00:43:33,160 –> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: is real, what you’re about to say. And so I’m
949
00:43:36,960 –> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: thinking we haven’t got the third down back. Now we’re
950
00:43:39,800 –> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: nearing the end of the draft, right, and so but
951
00:43:44,480 –> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: we have a guy that works in graphic arts here
952
00:43:47,400 –> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: named Jordan Geesler. A year ago he came into We’re
953
00:43:51,719 –> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: nerding out and all this stuff. He goes, I’m gonna
954
00:43:53,760 –> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: tell you the guy that I like, and it’s Carson Steel.
955
00:43:56,680 –> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: I go, it looks like the Jungle law guy. Right,
956
00:43:58,360 –> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: he’s got the whole hair, he’s he’s sure he’s not
957
00:44:00,719 –> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: on Survivor or something. And we end up taking him.
958
00:44:03,640 –> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 2: He was like three hundred and fiftieth on PFF’s big board.
959
00:44:06,480 –> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 2: I’m like Jordan, I just don’t know, and this is
960
00:44:08,800 –> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 2: my guy.
961
00:44:09,320 –> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 1: This my guy ball I go ball State, Yeah, ball State, Uclabel.
962
00:44:12,600 –> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: This year it was Brishard Smith and SMU and this
963
00:44:16,160 –> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: is what about a week and a half before the
964
00:44:17,520 –> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: draft goes this is my guy.
965
00:44:18,960 –> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: This is my guy.
966
00:44:20,000 –> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: So we’ve looked at him, but it made me go
967
00:44:22,040 –> 00:44:24,959
Speaker 1: back and look, oh, okay, look more at this guy
968
00:44:25,000 –> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 1: who was a wide receiver at Miami and then transferred
969
00:44:29,480 –> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: to SMU. SMU then said we’re going to make you
970
00:44:32,719 –> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: a running back. In fact, their quote was We’re going
971
00:44:34,719 –> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: to make you the SMU version of Isaiah Pacheco Burshard Smith. Though, well,
972
00:44:40,440 –> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: let’s go back to what I said. I was wanting
973
00:44:42,880 –> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: a starting defensive like day one player. Well, okay, think
974
00:44:46,040 –> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 1: of the rotation here. We got that covered third down
975
00:44:49,160 –> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: back p Rhine leaves us goes to Cincinnati, who’s the
976
00:44:53,640 –> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: younger version of Jeric McKinnon. And I cannot wait to
977
00:44:59,440 –> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: watch Smith because when I’ve mentioned that to different people,
978
00:45:04,400 –> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 1: they’ve all nodded to the affirmative and the fact that
979
00:45:07,400 –> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: this guy, yes, he his crazy production crazy. In twenty
980
00:45:11,200 –> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: twenty five. He ran the ball two hundred and thirty
981
00:45:14,120 –> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: five times thirteen hundred and thirty two yards six yards
982
00:45:17,560 –> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: of carry essentially. Then he threw in fourteen rushing touchdowns. Oh,
983
00:45:21,120 –> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: let’s add thirty nine receptions for three hundred and twenty
984
00:45:24,080 –> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: seven yards all purpose yards. He was fourth in FBS
985
00:45:28,760 –> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: all parpers Oh, let’s see Jantes first. Uh huh, Yeah, okay,
986
00:45:33,560 –> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: I know he’s heard he’s going to the Raiders.
987
00:45:35,600 –> 00:45:35,959
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
988
00:45:36,080 –> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: Scatoo of Arizona State goes second. Yep. Third was Hampton
989
00:45:40,000 –> 00:45:41,720
Speaker 1: who goes to the Charger. He goes to the Chargers
990
00:45:41,960 –> 00:45:46,240
Speaker 1: the Divis Division. This kid was fourth. Yeah, Oh my gosh,
991
00:45:46,320 –> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: crazy production. And when you watch the video, this could
992
00:45:50,440 –> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 1: be Jeric McKinnon coming out of SMU.
993
00:45:54,239 –> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 2: So, I know, the Monday after the draft you look
994
00:45:57,239 –> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: at every single player and you say, this guy is amazing.
995
00:45:59,440 –> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: How this guy all of us all that. I can’t
996
00:46:02,040 –> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 2: believe that we got this guy in the seventh round.
997
00:46:04,120 –> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: Just flip on his tape. It’s super just electric. I
998
00:46:08,239 –> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 2: mean with the ball in his hands when he has
999
00:46:09,840 –> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 2: an opportunity, he is electric. He is four to three
1000
00:46:12,640 –> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 2: to nine speed. Give the third fastest forty time of
1001
00:46:15,160 –> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 2: any running back at the combine. You mentioned the ridiculous production.
1002
00:46:19,239 –> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 2: I mean nearly two thousand yards between rushing, receiving, and
1003
00:46:22,320 –> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: kick return yards. Nineteen plays of twenty or more yards
1004
00:46:25,680 –> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 2: last year, I was in the top five among all
1005
00:46:28,400 –> 00:46:31,720
Speaker 2: running backs. And so on one end, he’s a former receiver,
1006
00:46:31,840 –> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: like you said, and you can tell, like when he
1007
00:46:33,600 –> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 2: goes up to attack the ball, he attacks it like
1008
00:46:36,000 –> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 2: a receiver. Sometimes with running backs it can be kind
1009
00:46:38,600 –> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 2: of awkward if they didn’t do a lot of that,
1010
00:46:40,600 –> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 2: like in high school or college. But with him, he
1011
00:46:43,200 –> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: runs routes and attacks the ball in the air like
1012
00:46:45,160 –> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 2: a receiver. But a lot of times if you have
1013
00:46:47,800 –> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 2: this conversion where you have a receiver go to running back,
1014
00:46:51,080 –> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: they’re kind of like a fish out of water. As
1015
00:46:52,680 –> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 2: a runner, he’s not like he has like contact balance.
1016
00:46:55,840 –> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 2: He’s bouncing off defenders. I mean he had eighteen total
1017
00:46:59,200 –> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: touchdowns last year.
1018
00:47:00,120 –> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: One cut ability. Yes, like he’s done it on us.
1019
00:47:02,080 –> 00:47:04,319
Speaker 2: You’ll make a guy miss. It’s incredible. But also like
1020
00:47:04,360 –> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 2: at least in college, between the tackles, he was getting
1021
00:47:06,680 –> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 2: tough yards, like moving the pile, like getting the ball
1022
00:47:09,440 –> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 2: on the two yard line and punching it in for
1023
00:47:11,400 –> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 2: a touchdown. There’s a lot of potential here with this guy.
1024
00:47:14,560 –> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 2: And that’s why he reminds me so much of Jeric,
1025
00:47:16,640 –> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: because Jeric was not the biggest player, but he played
1026
00:47:19,520 –> 00:47:22,479
Speaker 2: way bigger than he actually was. Jeric was a great
1027
00:47:22,600 –> 00:47:26,240
Speaker 2: pass blocker, like he would run through defenders twice his size,
1028
00:47:26,640 –> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 2: and I mean, that’s a really lofty comp like Bashard
1029
00:47:29,160 –> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: will have to work to be a Jerck McKinnon in
1030
00:47:31,080 –> 00:47:33,840
Speaker 2: this league. But it’s just impossible not to watch his
1031
00:47:33,880 –> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 2: tape and think that is Jack McKinnon and to add
1032
00:47:36,800 –> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: a player like this to our offense. We know how
1033
00:47:39,560 –> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: valuable and how effective Jeric was like in the screen
1034
00:47:42,440 –> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 2: game in the red zone. This guy’s perfect for that
1035
00:47:45,239 –> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 2: kind of thing. So also the new kickoff rule, like
1036
00:47:48,480 –> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 2: how the kickoff is being moved at the thirty five
1037
00:47:50,440 –> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 2: Now there’s gonna be a lot more kickoffs, and he
1038
00:47:53,760 –> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 2: has a ton of experience handling kickoffs in college. If
1039
00:47:56,760 –> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: you put a four to three to nine guy back
1040
00:47:58,719 –> 00:48:01,919
Speaker 2: there who can make players, he has contact balance, he’s
1041
00:48:01,960 –> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 2: perfect to handle kickoff duties. So he’ll have to earn
1042
00:48:04,800 –> 00:48:07,880
Speaker 2: that role. But just I mean Burshard Smith getting him
1043
00:48:07,880 –> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 2: in the seventh round. I think you let out a
1044
00:48:09,840 –> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: yeah in the hallway after this one too.
1045
00:48:12,640 –> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: Saturday, it was just a hallway.
1046
00:48:14,360 –> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 2: I couldn’t believe we went around. I couldn’t believe because
1047
00:48:16,520 –> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 2: we had talked about it all week, like like this
1048
00:48:18,440 –> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 2: guy’s available, because everyone was talking about like the top
1049
00:48:21,440 –> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: five or six running backs, like the Caleb Johnson’s and
1050
00:48:24,560 –> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: the Scatabooze and all these players, and yeah, those guys
1051
00:48:27,600 –> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 2: would be great. But I kept thinking like that guy.
1052
00:48:30,239 –> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 2: Jordan showed us Brashard Smith, like he would be a
1053
00:48:32,560 –> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 2: lot of fun and he would fit KOA. Treed’s offense.
1054
00:48:35,160 –> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: And we got to the seventh round. I guess I
1055
00:48:37,040 –> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: could kind of forgot, And when we took him, I
1056
00:48:40,440 –> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: was like, I cannot believe we got him. He’s a chief.
1057
00:48:43,320 –> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 2: Jordan’s two for two.
1058
00:48:44,520 –> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: And this kickoff return ability. He averaged twenty five yards
1059
00:48:48,360 –> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 1: on a per attempt and over his college career in
1060
00:48:50,760 –> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: kickoff returns, including a ninety eight yard touchdown on a
1061
00:48:54,520 –> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: kickoff return. And you mentioned the four to three nine speed.
1062
00:48:58,239 –> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 1: So you’re getting a lot with this guy. Super excited
1063
00:49:01,080 –> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: about him. It’s always key we talk about how versatile
1064
00:49:03,640 –> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: people are within the organization.
1065
00:49:05,320 –> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: Right.
1066
00:49:06,120 –> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: So when you get a graphic artist and a graphic
1067
00:49:09,000 –> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 1: designer who can pick your players that this is my guy.
1068
00:49:12,920 –> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: You and I are going to go to him next
1069
00:49:14,120 –> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: year about two months before the draft and going now
1070
00:49:15,880 –> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: who you got?
1071
00:49:16,360 –> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: He has a reputation to uphold, so you have to.
1072
00:49:18,880 –> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 1: Do it way to go. Jordan, You’re a very talented dude,
1073
00:49:21,840 –> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: but man, you’ve now to pick two running backs in
1074
00:49:24,800 –> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: two straight years in this guy. But Brishard Smith completes it.
1075
00:49:29,080 –> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: So overall this class and we’re gonna watch him now.
1076
00:49:31,320 –> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 1: It starts right away this week. As you’ll see this
1077
00:49:34,680 –> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 1: posted this week becomes rookie mini caamp, a lot of
1078
00:49:37,640 –> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: try out guys, undrafted free agents. We’ll get into all
1079
00:49:40,320 –> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: that in episodes coming up ahead. But this class, the
1080
00:49:44,360 –> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: class of twenty five, really anxious to see him.
1081
00:49:46,800 –> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and listen, we’re very excited about it, but the
1082
00:49:49,640 –> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 2: reality is the grade is incomplete. I mean, they have
1083
00:49:52,280 –> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 2: to go out there and play. We think all these
1084
00:49:54,360 –> 00:49:56,760
Speaker 2: players are going to help us, and we’re very excited
1085
00:49:56,800 –> 00:49:58,959
Speaker 2: about the value and the talent that we brought in here,
1086
00:49:59,000 –> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 2: but they have to go out there and we won’t
1087
00:50:01,200 –> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 2: know how good this class was for a couple of years.
1088
00:50:03,760 –> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 2: But one thing I do from time to time is
1089
00:50:05,719 –> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 2: I go back and look at our episode in twenty
1090
00:50:08,800 –> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 2: twenty two called the Base Ten, and it was basically
1091
00:50:12,520 –> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 2: what we’re doing right now, immediately after the twenty twenty
1092
00:50:15,680 –> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 2: two draft class. And we all know how transformative that
1093
00:50:19,080 –> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 2: class was. We don’t win back to back super Bowls,
1094
00:50:22,280 –> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: we don’t go to three super Bowls in a row
1095
00:50:24,200 –> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: without that draft class. And it’s fun to go back
1096
00:50:27,080 –> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 2: and listen to what we were saying about those players
1097
00:50:29,200 –> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 2: and the potential that they could achieve here in Kansas City,
1098
00:50:32,760 –> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 2: talking about, Hey, I think Trent McDuffie can be one
1099
00:50:34,719 –> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 2: of the best corners in football. Here’s why I think
1100
00:50:37,040 –> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 2: George Carloftis is going to help our defensive line. Here’s
1101
00:50:39,680 –> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: why I think Isaiah Pacheco could help this team. Jill
1102
00:50:42,080 –> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 2: and Watson can help this team. I love his length,
1103
00:50:44,200 –> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 2: all that stuff, and it turns out that all worked
1104
00:50:46,840 –> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 2: out perfectly for the Chiefs. And I’m as fired up
1105
00:50:50,200 –> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 2: about a draft class about this one. I’m as fired
1106
00:50:54,360 –> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 2: up about this class as I was about that one
1107
00:50:56,520 –> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two. And again they have to
1108
00:50:58,960 –> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 2: go out there and earn it and p it. But
1109
00:51:00,760 –> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 2: hopefully in a couple of years we’re looking back at
1110
00:51:02,600 –> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 2: this episode and saying, man, that class really changed everything
1111
00:51:06,239 –> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 2: we know about the.
1112
00:51:06,880 –> 00:51:09,319
Speaker 1: Base ten system, right, we all use it. The base
1113
00:51:09,400 –> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: ten draft class of twenty twenty two brought us two
1114
00:51:12,480 –> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl championships. The biblical number for perfection is seven.
1115
00:51:17,360 –> 00:51:19,839
Speaker 1: There’s seven in this group. Maybe a couple of years
1116
00:51:19,840 –> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: from now we’ll look back and say this was a
1117
00:51:21,960 –> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: perfect pick. But just know this. Do you graduate from
1118
00:51:24,200 –> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: high school or college, or graduate from West Point, you’re
1119
00:51:27,040 –> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: identified as the class in which you ended. In the NFL,
1120
00:51:31,200 –> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: you’re identified as in the class of where you begin.
1121
00:51:35,160 –> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: And we like the beginning of this class of twenty
1122
00:51:38,040 –> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 1: twenty five
