1
00:00:00,400 –> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: It’s not only what players accomplish in their careers in

2
00:00:03,600 –> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: the National Football League, it’s how they do it and

3
00:00:06,680 –> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: the impact that they have. In this edition of Defending

4
00:00:10,720 –> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: the Kingdom, deuces are wild because we put the number

5
00:00:14,600 –> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: two right at the top of the stack. Dust and

6
00:00:17,280 –> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: colcoot will be featured and we’ll update you on the OTAs.

7
00:00:22,280 –> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom is always is brought to you by

8
00:00:25,440 –> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Ticketmaster’s keeps it on an RPO.

9
00:00:28,920 –> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 2: At the five, it’s a lead block.

10
00:00:30,560 –> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: He goes into the hands on their side, touch down

11
00:00:34,400 –> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Chusas City. Howeveryone. I’m ach oldest voice of the Chiefs

12
00:00:38,360 –> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 1: along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. Yes, deuces are wild.

13
00:00:42,680 –> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: We are bringing out the deuce in the deuce because

14
00:00:46,000 –> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: of Dustin Colquot. We’re going to talk to him in

15
00:00:48,080 –> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: just a minute. A what a conversation with him. He

16
00:00:53,560 –> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: gets right to the soul. But an amazing human being,

17
00:00:56,760 –> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: an incredible career, seventeen years in the NFL, fifteen the

18
00:01:00,240 –> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: Chiefs two time pro bowler. But it’s more than that.

19
00:01:05,080 –> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: With him, there’s such a part of the fabric of

20
00:01:07,800 –> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Kingdom that Dustin colco will always.

21
00:01:10,440 –> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: Represent Yeah, it’s hard to put into words really, so

22
00:01:13,920 –> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: I mentioned this with Dustin on the interview. But he

23
00:01:16,520 –> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: played in two hundred and thirty eight regular season games

24
00:01:19,640 –> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: for the Chiefs, easily the most of any player in

25
00:01:22,240 –> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: franchise history. The Chiefs have played exactly one thousand regular

26
00:01:26,240 –> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: season games in team history, meaning he played in twenty

27
00:01:29,520 –> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: four percent of the games in Chief’s history.

28
00:01:32,480 –> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: Think about that.

29
00:01:34,400 –> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: And for me growing up, I mean as a young kid,

30
00:01:37,760 –> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: he was just on the team. He was one of

31
00:01:39,520 –> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 3: the best punters in the league. And then I’m in

32
00:01:41,840 –> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: my thirties now and he was still on the team

33
00:01:44,360 –> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: through Super Bowl fifty four.

34
00:01:45,840 –> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: Think about that.

35
00:01:46,640 –> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 3: So he bridged multiple generations of Chiefs football in so

36
00:01:50,440 –> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 3: many ways. He helped usher in the era that we’re

37
00:01:53,080 –> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 3: in now because we always talk about it, even though

38
00:01:56,040 –> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: guys like Tomba Holly or Derrek Johnson, Justin Huston, did

39
00:02:00,360 –> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: Eric Barry, all those guys that were on those teams earlier.

40
00:02:03,600 –> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: I think of the great offensive lineman in the early

41
00:02:05,840 –> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: two thousands. Yeah, they didn’t necessarily win a Super Bowl,

42
00:02:08,840 –> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 3: but they helped kind of establish the culture that we

43
00:02:10,919 –> 00:02:13,639
Speaker 3: have now. Kind of melded perfectly when coachried got here

44
00:02:14,080 –> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: and thankfully Dustin was on the team in twenty nineteen.

45
00:02:17,400 –> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: His final game as a chief was Super Bowl fifty four,

46
00:02:20,760 –> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 3: and you’ll hear more about what that meant to him.

47
00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: But just such a cool guy, an amazing guy. I

48
00:02:25,639 –> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: could talk forever about him what he does off the

49
00:02:27,800 –> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: field as well, But just so cool to have him

50
00:02:30,240 –> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: back in the facility here today.

51
00:02:32,320 –> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. I was talking with Joe Helder, who you and

52
00:02:34,080 –> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: I both worked with on our sixty five TPT crew,

53
00:02:37,200 –> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: and Joe had a really good comment about it, because

54
00:02:39,480 –> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: I was just, you know, I’ve kind of absorbed this

55
00:02:42,320 –> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: day with Dustin, and looking at Dustin many times is

56
00:02:45,960 –> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: like looking at a reflection in the pond. But he

57
00:02:50,200 –> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: got the payoff. He went through everything two two and

58
00:02:54,040 –> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: fourteen seasons, five head coaches, four general managers, and the

59
00:02:59,240 –> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: fact that he got the payoff. And I was trying

60
00:03:01,639 –> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: to think who went through all that crud and basically

61
00:03:05,400 –> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: got the payoff, And I’m not sure I could come

62
00:03:07,240 –> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: up with anybody else other than Dustin.

63
00:03:09,160 –> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 4: Jamal Charles didn’t, he did not, Derrick Johnson did not,

64
00:03:12,639 –> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: Don Toby did not. Yeah, I mean lots of guys.

65
00:03:15,560 –> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: And Alex Smith didn’t get I mean, but guys that

66
00:03:18,680 –> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 1: went through the both two and two fourteen seasons saw

67
00:03:22,560 –> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: things bottom out with the worst that can imagine here,

68
00:03:26,639 –> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: but then got the payoff. Dustin got it, and so

69
00:03:29,639 –> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: he becomes a representative. I think of many fans in

70
00:03:32,760 –> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Kingdom who hung in there during those thinking

71
00:03:36,160 –> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: just there was hope for a better day, and it came.

72
00:03:40,720 –> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: And so Dustin becomes kind of the poster person, if

73
00:03:44,000 –> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: you will, for that.

74
00:03:44,800 –> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: And he could have left. I mean, for those of

75
00:03:46,760 –> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: us that are fans, you’re with it no matter what.

76
00:03:49,280 –> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 3: But I mean, Dustin wasn’t from here originally, He’s from Tennessee.

77
00:03:52,680 –> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: He could have left if he wanted to, but he

78
00:03:54,960 –> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: realized this place was special. He recognized something in Kansas

79
00:03:59,040 –> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: City and Chief’s Kingdom that he’s like, I want to

80
00:04:01,440 –> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: see this thing through. That’s something that we talk about

81
00:04:03,560 –> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: a lot. Is kind of hard to find that nowadays.

82
00:04:05,760 –> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 3: Not everyone’s that way, but Dustin wanted to see this

83
00:04:08,040 –> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: thing through, and it’s.

84
00:04:09,200 –> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: So cool that he did. He didn’t just see it

85
00:04:11,680 –> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 4: through for his career.

86
00:04:12,640 –> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: He saw it through where the Chiefs went to the

87
00:04:14,680 –> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: Super Bowl and won it for the first time in

88
00:04:16,640 –> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: fifty years, and he was a part of that. And

89
00:04:19,200 –> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: I’m sure when he was on the field and confetti

90
00:04:21,480 –> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: was falling, he was thinking about, you know, two and

91
00:04:25,200 –> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 3: fourteen seasons, four and twelve seasons, coaches getting fired, like

92
00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 3: really difficult times, some of the hardest times in Chief’s

93
00:04:31,960 –> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: history that we all remember that weren’t too long ago.

94
00:04:34,960 –> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: And Dustin persevered through all of that. He was a leader,

95
00:04:38,160 –> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: just a total pro through all of that. And you’re right,

96
00:04:41,040 –> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: he got the payoff of being on the field in

97
00:04:43,800 –> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: Miami for Super Bowl fifty four.

98
00:04:45,400 –> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: Pretty cool.

99
00:04:46,120 –> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: He gets into this in the interview and you’re gonna

100
00:04:48,480 –> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: love this interview. But we want to see it through,

101
00:04:54,360 –> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: but so often you don’t get to see it through

102
00:04:58,000 –> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: because even though you may want to see it through,

103
00:05:00,360 –> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: others don’t let you see it through. And he talked

104
00:05:03,000 –> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: about surviving ideologies and head coaches and you know, their

105
00:05:08,000 –> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: own guy. He talked about that. It’s really really good

106
00:05:11,480 –> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: how he gets into that, because we’ve also experienced that.

107
00:05:15,480 –> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: But the other thing in Dave Tobe. I had a

108
00:05:19,160 –> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: conversation with Dave Tobe and we talked about the very

109
00:05:22,040 –> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: thing that you and I talked about in the interview

110
00:05:23,880 –> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: and almost one hundred punts in a season, down almost

111
00:05:29,000 –> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: by less than forty percent. Right, it got down when

112
00:05:31,279 –> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Pat started playing, those punts became holds. But how Dustin

113
00:05:35,800 –> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: revolutionized the game, We’re going to get into that as well.

114
00:05:38,680 –> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: Prior to Dustin Colquitt, and there were some Australian rules

115
00:05:41,600 –> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: guys Darren Bennett, I remember the Chargers was one of

116
00:05:44,080 –> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: the first that came from Australia, played Australian rules football

117
00:05:47,360 –> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: and had the funky kick, but it used to be

118
00:05:51,720 –> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: coffin corner kicks. And Dave talked about Brad Maynard, who

119
00:05:56,640 –> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 1: he had in Chicago, was a very very good punter,

120
00:05:59,000 –> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl punter, pro punter. But in those days you

121
00:06:03,000 –> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: basically wanted to kick it to the coffin corner, kick

122
00:06:05,600 –> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: it out of bounce or but Dustin became really one

123
00:06:09,360 –> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: of the first to specialize in the backwards bounce kick

124
00:06:13,400 –> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: like the ballata ball, like a golf ball bounce to

125
00:06:16,000 –> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: get him inside the ten. We’ll get into the stats

126
00:06:18,040 –> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: inside the ten once we get into the interview. And

127
00:06:21,680 –> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: I found it fascinating that his last punt in front

128
00:06:24,920 –> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: of the team as he broke it down today, was

129
00:06:27,640 –> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: inside the five. Of course it was right, and they

130
00:06:29,680 –> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: all just roared it. It was a moment.

131
00:06:32,320 –> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Man.

132
00:06:32,920 –> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: It seems like obvious, But when you think about a punter,

133
00:06:37,560 –> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 3: I understand when the punter is on the field, normally

134
00:06:40,520 –> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: it means something has gone wrong, the offense hasn’t succeeded.

135
00:06:43,600 –> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 3: And while that’s true, it doesn’t mean that the punter

136
00:06:46,440 –> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: can’t also be an extension of your winning game plan.

137
00:06:49,400 –> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: And a punt isn’t just a punt. They’re not all

138
00:06:52,800 –> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 3: made the same. And something that Dustin always talked about

139
00:06:55,720 –> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: is how he wanted to be like a weapon out

140
00:06:57,720 –> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 3: there and he wanted to help the team by flipping thee.

141
00:07:00,760 –> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: It seems obvious every punter should want to do that,

142
00:07:03,000 –> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 3: but not every punter is that way. And it’s a

143
00:07:05,400 –> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: reality that Dustin is one of the greatest punters in

144
00:07:08,040 –> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: NFL history, not just by longevity, but by when he

145
00:07:11,760 –> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: was out there. He was a weapon for the Chiefs

146
00:07:14,520 –> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 3: and we’re so fortunate that we had a guy like

147
00:07:16,760 –> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: this around for so long, and again not just because

148
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: of the great player that he was, and he was

149
00:07:21,120 –> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: a great player, but just an awesome dude to have

150
00:07:23,720 –> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: in the locker room. And I know this that when

151
00:07:27,480 –> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: there was difficult times in the locker room and the

152
00:07:29,600 –> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: team wasn’t winning and people weren’t getting along. To have

153
00:07:33,360 –> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: a player and a guy like that in your locker

154
00:07:35,480 –> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: room is invaluable because he’s looking to be an energy giver.

155
00:07:39,920 –> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: He’s not an energy taker, you know, and life’s all

156
00:07:43,560 –> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 3: about trying to manage those things and Dustin’s the ultimate

157
00:07:47,400 –> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: energy giver. So you just can’t say enough great things

158
00:07:50,200 –> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: about him, the player, the person. He was always so

159
00:07:52,520 –> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: kind to me during my time here. I know obviously

160
00:07:55,480 –> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: you guys have quite a history, and just so happy

161
00:07:58,680 –> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: for him to have this day here.

162
00:08:00,560 –> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I love it when he talks in the interview.

163
00:08:02,200 –> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: You’ll hear it here soon when he would pin a

164
00:08:04,760 –> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: team back and the defensive guys would point at him. Yeah,

165
00:08:08,680 –> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, it just gets me.

166
00:08:09,880 –> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty cool, wonderful because it’s easy too for a

167
00:08:12,960 –> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 3: punter to feel disconnected and those little things.

168
00:08:16,840 –> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: It makes you feel part of the team and it’s

169
00:08:18,240 –> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 4: pretty cool.

170
00:08:18,720 –> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. We see place kickers make walk off field goals

171
00:08:21,040 –> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: and they get carried off the field and you know,

172
00:08:23,840 –> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: water poured on them, But you don’t see that from

173
00:08:26,040 –> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: punters much because they don’t get to have the walk

174
00:08:28,520 –> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: off kick. They have the walk off hold taken for granted,

175
00:08:31,520 –> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, when a team appreciates Dustin as much as

176
00:08:34,920 –> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: the teams did, especially the Andy Reid teams of Dustin

177
00:08:38,800 –> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: from thirteen to nineteen, Yeah, and again the game changed.

178
00:08:43,320 –> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: And I still want the NFL to have punts inside

179
00:08:46,120 –> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: the ten instead of just inside the twenty. All right,

180
00:08:49,960 –> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: we’re gonna get into the interview, but before we do,

181
00:08:51,760 –> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: let’s go around the world.

182
00:08:52,760 –> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, so five quick ones today for Hollywood Brown.

183
00:08:56,440 –> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah? I like it.

184
00:08:57,559 –> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: Hollywood’s gonna have a big year this year. Mark my

185
00:08:59,480 –> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 4: words hurt. From Doug. Eleven hundred yards, how about that?

186
00:09:02,720 –> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 4: That’s what let’s do it? Yeah, eleven hundred yards. That’ll

187
00:09:06,840 –> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 4: get what’s for she going to do? She’s gonna have.

188
00:09:09,720 –> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: Him man for like twelve hundred. There’s twenty three for Pat.

189
00:09:12,280 –> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 4: I’m going to say sixteen hundred.

190
00:09:13,480 –> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Further she feels like a fifty five hundred year.

191
00:09:17,320 –> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 4: Why not?

192
00:09:18,040 –> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: Sure, go for it.

193
00:09:19,800 –> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 4: Then Exavier Xavier can have a bunch of two anyway.

194
00:09:22,559 –> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: Heard from Doug. We’ve mentioned Doug before. I met him

195
00:09:25,240 –> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: a few years ago at a trivia that I go

196
00:09:27,880 –> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: to on a weekly basis.

197
00:09:30,080 –> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: I want to go to that sometime.

198
00:09:31,559 –> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 3: So we haven’t been in a while because, like our

199
00:09:33,880 –> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: crew has had various things, like we always go with

200
00:09:36,240 –> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: Greg tan upstairs, but Greg was planning his wedding and

201
00:09:39,600 –> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: they couldn’t make.

202
00:09:40,240 –> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: It such a poor excuse.

203
00:09:41,600 –> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 3: I know it is, you know, but you know, trying

204
00:09:43,559 –> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: to be a nice guy about the whole thing. Regardless,

205
00:09:45,520 –> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: our trivia crew is kind of falling apart, So maybe

206
00:09:47,760 –> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: if you want to go sometime.

207
00:09:49,200 –> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: I’ve been trying to.

208
00:09:49,760 –> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: Put it back together. Nowhere to go with. I don’t

209
00:09:51,679 –> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: want to go to an empty room or something.

210
00:09:53,480 –> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 4: Well, listen you and now we’re at.

211
00:09:55,120 –> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Some barista going, hey, when’s the trivia half?

212
00:09:57,720 –> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 4: I think we’d have a gone half more.

213
00:09:59,679 –> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Greg planning a wedding and Matt’s off for true Topia and.

214
00:10:03,360 –> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: Trivia has to happen again rock and Brew or whatever.

215
00:10:06,320 –> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: Regardless, Doug was listening to last week’s episode when I

216
00:10:10,120 –> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: talked about west Side Local, that restaurant that I liked

217
00:10:13,000 –> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: a lot, so he recommended a few other places to

218
00:10:15,760 –> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: go over there. I can’t believe I’d never heard of

219
00:10:17,840 –> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: this area before. It’s weird, like being from Kansas City

220
00:10:20,800 –> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: and there’s a whole area. I’ve like, I was exploring

221
00:10:23,920 –> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: and I’d never heard of. Yeah, but he recommended a

222
00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 3: few places. So shout out to Doug, Shout out to David.

223
00:10:30,000 –> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 3: I mentioned David before. He lives in Louisville now but

224
00:10:32,960 –> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: spent fifteen years in Laos. Remember David, we talked about

225
00:10:35,679 –> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: him a while ago. He’ll be at the Ravens game

226
00:10:38,520 –> 00:10:39,920

Speaker 1: An international game in Laos this year.

237
00:11:09,559 –> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: maybe Sydney.

238
00:11:11,280 –> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: I don’t think one of those two.

239
00:11:12,880 –> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 3: Regardless, you and I are just going to see the

240
00:11:14,600 –> 00:11:17,239

248
00:11:35,679 –> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: You know, I judged that a few years ago. I

249
00:11:38,040 –> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: really respect what they do, like you have to be

250
00:11:39,960 –> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 3: like an elite athlete to do that. It’s a good

251
00:11:41,920 –> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: luck Dakota. And lastly, Brian wants to know if this

262
00:12:05,040 –> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: the Kingdom defenders. Why we’d have a shirt yet, it’s

263
00:12:08,360 –> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: this kind of a it’s one of the disappointing things.

264
00:12:12,200 –> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: Here’s where Here’s where I’m going with this so I

265

Speaker 1: T shirts to wear.

280
00:13:02,480 –> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: It’s pretty negligent on our part that we have not

281
00:13:04,480 –> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: done any merchandise. We’ve talked about a lot of things

282
00:13:06,640 –> 00:13:08,280

00:13:20,880 –> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: move it and put different countries in hemispheres.

289
00:13:24,440 –> 00:13:26,120

Speaker 2: because like you these everybody that spends time in this building,

314
00:14:41,440 –> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: you give everything you have every day you can to

315
00:14:44,240 –> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: stay as long as you can. And that was my

316
00:14:47,840 –> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 2: goal is don’t be a disappointment. Don’t be the third

317
00:14:51,560 –> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: round draft pick that doesn’t make it. They don’t let

318
00:14:54,320 –> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: why didn’t we do an offense or defensive player like

319
00:14:57,160 –> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: be a weapon. So being back in this building on

320
00:15:00,000 –> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: the other side of things is and to see what

321
00:15:02,200 –> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 2: you guys have done over the last several years is

322
00:15:06,160 –> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean since twenty nineteen when you put you punch

323
00:15:09,840 –> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: that first ticket and then you say, by the way,

324
00:15:11,920 –> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 2: we’re gonna appear often as much as we can see.

325
00:15:15,360 –> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: You played two hundred and thirty eight games in the

326
00:15:17,400 –> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: regular season for the Chiefs. The Chiefs have only played

327
00:15:20,120 –> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: a thousand regular season games as a franchise, so you

328
00:15:22,840 –> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: played like twenty four percent of the Chiefs franchise games.

329
00:15:26,280 –> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: When I say that, what goes through your mind that.

330
00:15:29,360 –> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t know that well, those like

331
00:15:31,840 –> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: numbers were like because I would have gotten wrapped up

332
00:15:33,880 –> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: in that. My thing was, don’t get the kicker fired,

333
00:15:37,640 –> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 2: make sure you clean up anything coming back. And I’ve

334
00:15:40,280 –> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: had some really good snappers here that in Winchester’s still

335
00:15:43,160 –> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 2: here doing this thing, and so it’s just one of

336
00:15:45,920 –> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: those things. Really I want to and I told you guys,

337
00:15:48,520 –> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: like I remember once I left this building, there were

338
00:15:51,080 –> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: several times where I pulled out of my driveway. You

339
00:15:54,240 –> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: jump on you one fifty highway and you’re like, I

340
00:15:57,760 –> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 2: don’t work there anymore. So it’s just like that drive

341
00:16:01,760 –> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: was ingrained into my system.

342
00:16:04,520 –> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: You couldn’t get two more punts. Cleveland wouldn’t give you

343
00:16:07,120 –> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: two more punts because you would have twelve hundred you

344
00:16:09,440 –> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: had and ninety eight punts come on Cleveland, but more

345
00:16:15,080 –> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: than that fifty three, six hundred and sixty yards. But

346
00:16:19,120 –> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: you know my favorite stat and I went back and

347
00:16:22,040 –> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: looked at it because your last game with US was

348
00:16:24,320 –> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl fifty four. It was so awesome. You

349
00:16:27,920 –> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: changed the National Football League because and Matt and I’ve

350
00:16:31,640 –> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: talked about this, the metric for the NFL is punts

351
00:16:35,080 –> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: inside the twenty, Like, ooh, that’s really good Dustin Colquit

352
00:16:38,680 –> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: changed the league because to me, it became punts inside

353
00:16:42,360 –> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: the ten. You had seventy six punts inside the ten

354
00:16:46,520 –> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: the last seven years of your career. No one was

355
00:16:49,600 –> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: even close to that. You talk about being the twelfth defender.

356
00:16:52,720 –> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: I got chills even bringing this up. You your thoughts

357
00:16:57,160 –> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: about really changing the game and had the punch or

358
00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: became a twelfth defensive player.

359
00:17:02,520 –> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I watch a lot of film, and

360
00:17:05,840 –> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: I remember back when all these all the numbers that

361
00:17:08,440 –> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 2: you’re talking about, we were getting like DVDs to take

362
00:17:10,960 –> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: home and like watch right, And so you’re like, and

363
00:17:13,720 –> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 2: what’s on those DVDs? Is you like yelling about this

364
00:17:18,320 –> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: ball going inside the ten or inside the twenty or

365
00:17:20,640 –> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: being you know, fair cot. We don’t have to cover

366
00:17:22,960 –> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 2: that ball and all this stuff. And so as somebody

367
00:17:26,880 –> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 2: that wanted just to be a tech like Dave tob

368
00:17:28,680 –> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: would say, like, this guy’s a technician, he’s he’s surgical like,

369
00:17:32,200 –> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 2: he uses words like that. And so I remember, after

370
00:17:35,160 –> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 2: watching some of that game film, thinking, man, he’s making

371
00:17:38,359 –> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: this punting game excited. I don’t want anybody to leave

372
00:17:40,400 –> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: to try to get a beer. I want him to

373
00:17:41,560 –> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 2: watch this punt, and so when you try to you

374
00:17:43,920 –> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: know a lot of people you know, try to get

375
00:17:45,920 –> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: these fair catch balls. But I remember I try to

376
00:17:47,720 –> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: extend that twenty yard lite, you know, getting inside the twenty,

377
00:17:50,760 –> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: inside the ten because you watch film again and you’re

378
00:17:53,760 –> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 2: seeing the defensive guys, you know, take the field from

379
00:17:56,960 –> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 2: the sidelines, and it was almost like a the healthiest

380
00:18:00,760 –> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 2: drug you can be on to see them taking that

381
00:18:04,000 –> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: long run down close to the goal line and pointing

382
00:18:07,640 –> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: back because they know where their field position came from.

383
00:18:10,760 –> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 2: And just very thankful I was able to do that.

384
00:18:13,080 –> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: I think we all know and Chiefs fans know that

385
00:18:15,560 –> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: you’re one of the greatest punters in NFL history.

386
00:18:17,600 –> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 4: That’s obvious. The stats say that, and longevity says that.

387
00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 3: But you don’t get enough credit, in my opinion, for

388
00:18:23,200 –> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: all the holding that you did for all the years

389
00:18:25,800 –> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: that you were here. Because if your name is said

390
00:18:28,080 –> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: when you’re holding, that mean something went wrong, right, But

391
00:18:30,480 –> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 3: that didn’t happen a whole lot because consistently you were

392
00:18:32,800 –> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: making sure that operation was flowing perfectly. Tell us about

393
00:18:36,119 –> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: that process of being a holder, especially like in two

394
00:18:38,320 –> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 3: thousand and five, you’re coming into the league as a

395
00:18:40,560 –> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 3: rookie you’re holding for field goals and how you did

396
00:18:43,240 –> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 3: it for as long as you did.

397
00:18:45,040 –> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one of my favorite things is it

398
00:18:47,720 –> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: kept me distracted from the pressure of punting, I think,

399
00:18:50,480 –> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: and so, and I got to work with a lot

400
00:18:52,240 –> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: of good guys. They were always you know, there’s there’s

401
00:18:55,119 –> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: only one snapper in the room, and they always have

402
00:18:57,240 –> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: a very different personality from everybody else. When yesters that

403
00:19:00,600 –> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: way anybody that I worked with, but like that our

404
00:19:04,200 –> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: little tandem just hanging out, hunting or doing you know,

405
00:19:08,040 –> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: raising kids together, all that. It was just important because

406
00:19:11,960 –> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 2: if you don’t keep it in between like one point

407
00:19:14,440 –> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: two five one point two, I mean, it’s like split

408
00:19:17,160 –> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 2: second stuff. And I always wanted to make sure those

409
00:19:20,280 –> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: guys knew like, hey, you got us close enough, and

410
00:19:22,520 –> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: we have to come up with points because when they’re

411
00:19:25,040 –> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: they’re doing their breakdown and say, hey, what do we

412
00:19:26,560 –> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: got to fix? What do we go do that they

413
00:19:27,920 –> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: should be guaranteed like, hey, we got to come up

414
00:19:30,000 –> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: with these points. And I never wanted to get a

415
00:19:32,600 –> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 2: kicker fired. I always felt like, man, I hold this

416
00:19:35,680 –> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 2: guy’s job. It kind of in my hands. And they’re

417
00:19:39,680 –> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: all great people, and try and raise families, and I

418
00:19:41,880 –> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 2: was like, this is actually more point important for me

419
00:19:44,240 –> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: than the punting wow, because it is it’s like a

420
00:19:47,680 –> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 2: it’s a thing, and I don’t want to ever look

421
00:19:49,160 –> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: down and be like, oh that ball spinning as it

422
00:19:51,160 –> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: gets kicked, or like I want it to be all right, now,

423
00:19:54,280 –> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 2: it’s your turn. Time to work. Because all the guys

424
00:19:56,320 –> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: were good that they drafted and brought in off the streets,

425
00:19:58,880 –> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 2: like Bucker, you know they he didn’t make it in Carolina,

426
00:20:02,040 –> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: and so we have a success story of Tobe and

427
00:20:05,240 –> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 2: Andy and everybody bringing him in and saying like, nah, Chiefs,

428
00:20:09,520 –> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: Kingdom’s your home. And so you’re like, I take that

429
00:20:12,040 –> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: very seriously. We got to keep this guy here for

430
00:20:13,880 –> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: a long time. But he’s great, and look at him now.

431
00:20:15,800 –> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 2: He is so good.

432
00:20:17,560 –> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I remember Harrison with a winner against Washington in his

433
00:20:20,280 –> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: first game. But Matt has we were discussing this, Yeah,

434
00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: the list of kickers you had.

435
00:20:26,119 –> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: Do you know how many kickers you held for Okay,

436
00:20:28,480 –> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: it’s gotta be I mean, like especially from like once

437
00:20:31,320 –> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: Time’s was gone. It was kind of like a.

438
00:20:33,240 –> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: There was a bit of a revolving door there for

439
00:20:35,119 –> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: a little while at like six in that in that span,

440
00:20:38,920 –> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 3: there was let’s see five okay, yeah, but there was

441
00:20:43,760 –> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: nine total.

442
00:20:44,600 –> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: Okay. I remember vander Jack coming in for a workout

443
00:20:47,160 –> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 2: and he remissed that afc oh no kick and how

444
00:20:51,320 –> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: to blow up with Preefer and he’s like, I don’t

445
00:20:53,280 –> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: think he is going to be here for very long. Yeah,

446
00:20:57,240 –> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 2: it doesn’t work, but yeah, in that that was what

447
00:21:00,840 –> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 2: I’m talking about when you go through those guys. And

448
00:21:03,680 –> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 2: then I got to learn from like John Karney. I remember,

449
00:21:06,080 –> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: you know, he was like the goat just played forever

450
00:21:08,640 –> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: and I wasn’t used to it. Like you go in

451
00:21:10,880 –> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: and the holder usually puts the spot down, the kicker

452
00:21:14,160 –> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 2: walks off that spot. I remember the first time I’m

453
00:21:16,359 –> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: holding for him, he I literally put the spot down.

454
00:21:19,520 –> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: I look back, look down and it’s gone. He had

455
00:21:22,119 –> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 2: like kicked it off and he’s like, I did the spot.

456
00:21:25,280 –> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 4: It’s okay.

457
00:21:26,160 –> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: And I was like, cool, got it.

458
00:21:27,880 –> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: You’ve been in the league twenty yes, yeah, I got it.

459
00:21:30,440 –> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: So I had a unique opportunity to like learn too

460
00:21:33,000 –> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: from like some older guys, which was great. So here’s

461
00:21:35,560 –> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: the list if you’re curious. So Ryan stuck up sixty

462
00:21:38,800 –> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: nine games. That was the most Butcker and Cairo Santos

463
00:21:42,520 –> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: each had forty six games. Lawrence Time’s thirty and then

464
00:21:46,640 –> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: kind of that range we were talking about, there’s Dave Rayner,

465
00:21:50,440 –> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: Connor Barth, Nick Novak, John Carney, and Justin Medlock.

466
00:21:54,840 –> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: Yeah how about that.

467
00:21:57,520 –> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: Take yep.

468
00:21:58,320 –> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: I still want to take Cairo though to Brazil.

469
00:22:00,359 –> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 2: Right.

470
00:22:00,520 –> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: I know he’s a bear, but it’s like, can we

471
00:22:02,240 –> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: sign him just to put him on the plane to

472
00:22:04,200 –> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: go because you mayb how crazy fans were on the road.

473
00:22:07,200 –> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: There would always be like thirty or forty Brazilian NFL

474
00:22:10,400 –> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: fans and show up everywhere we went for Cairo.

475
00:22:13,240 –> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: And they would be I mean, and they had we

476
00:22:15,960 –> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: got to the first time we heard it was I

477
00:22:18,240 –> 00:22:24,680
Speaker 2: think in Oakland. The guys like Carlos Carlos and some

478
00:22:24,920 –> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 2: like kind of looking around on our I’m like, he’s

479
00:22:28,440 –> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: gotta be talking like Cairo, right, he’s got like I’m

480
00:22:32,480 –> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: looking around like let’s you know whether Carlos so about

481
00:22:35,840 –> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 2: and so I’m like, dude, just wave to him. He’s

482
00:22:37,920 –> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: just a he’s fanning you, like this guy he was

483
00:22:40,480 –> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 2: in a buyer jersey and like he loves you. Just

484
00:22:42,720 –> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: sign something or like wave have a ball. I threw

485
00:22:45,800 –> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: balls all. I’m sure the organization could charge me for

486
00:22:48,880 –> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: how many calls I would like give to people, just

487
00:22:51,320 –> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 2: so that sometimes they wouldn’t yell at me anymore. So

488
00:22:54,680 –> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: this guy, like, finally halfway through the court, third court,

489
00:22:57,600 –> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: I’m like, dude, you got to talk to him. The

490
00:22:59,359 –> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 2: offensive Linemer tired just talk. Carlos talked on him, and

491
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: so Cairo looks up and he’s like, hey, body, you

492
00:23:06,400 –> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: know he does hey buddy like that. And the guy goes, hey,

493
00:23:08,960 –> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 2: if this kicking thing doesn’t work out, you could be

494
00:23:11,359 –> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: a horse jackey. And I remember Kiro was like, thank.

495
00:23:15,640 –> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: You, Yeah, just set him up.

496
00:23:17,160 –> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: I really needed that bong. And it’s kind of followed

497
00:23:19,800 –> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: us for a few weeks.

498
00:23:20,440 –> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: You could be a horse jockey. Seventeen years in the NFL,

499
00:23:24,359 –> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: but fifteen with the Chiefs. And I love the fact

500
00:23:28,600 –> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: that you ended the career with Super Bowl fifty four championship,

501
00:23:31,400 –> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: but let’s be honest, five head coaches, four general managers,

502
00:23:37,480 –> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 1: two two and fourteen seasons. Your ability to survive and

503
00:23:43,200 –> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: to be resilient and to be a pin light in

504
00:23:45,720 –> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: a dark room.

505
00:23:48,640 –> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: You dealt with all of that too, like we all

506
00:23:50,840 –> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: did in some way, and I think you just kind of,

507
00:23:53,520 –> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: you know, you try to formt your game to fit

508
00:23:58,960 –> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: the new regime the best you can and whatever that meant.

509
00:24:03,359 –> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 2: Like I wanted when Andy Reid and Dave Tobe and

510
00:24:07,320 –> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: Veitch and like Donovan was there the year before they

511
00:24:10,840 –> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: all got there, a couple of years before they all

512
00:24:12,600 –> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: got there, I wanted to make sure they’re like, yeah,

513
00:24:14,760 –> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: he’s our guy, because you hear guys like, well, he’s

514
00:24:17,720 –> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 2: not really our fit, he’s not guy. And I’d watch

515
00:24:19,720 –> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: that from five to through twenty twelve, and I was like,

516
00:24:23,119 –> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: I know that they’re looking for something in particular, and

517
00:24:26,280 –> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: I don’t want them to look away from that. And

518
00:24:28,160 –> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 2: so I was just very focused on like staying in

519
00:24:29,920 –> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 2: that room, raising my family here in the Midwest, because

520
00:24:32,520 –> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: Kansas City’s the greatest NFL TWN there is, and I’ve

521
00:24:35,960 –> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: been in a couple like late in my career, but

522
00:24:37,920 –> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: like I was like, God, this place, I knew it

523
00:24:40,080 –> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 2: was the best. And then that was affirmation. And so

524
00:24:43,880 –> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 2: we had, you know, with the Carl Peterson’s and guys

525
00:24:46,680 –> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: that came in put very important puzzle pieces together. But

526
00:24:51,119 –> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 2: then when you look at that new regime that came

527
00:24:52,920 –> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: in in twenty thirteen. It was like the Grand master

528
00:24:56,960 –> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: plan of like, hey, we also have drawers that have

529
00:24:59,359 –> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: the edge p that like really put this thing together.

530
00:25:03,800 –> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: And so like when I saw that happening quickly in

531
00:25:06,640 –> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen and how they worked, I was like, I’ve

532
00:25:08,720 –> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: got to stay in this room because I know where

533
00:25:10,400 –> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: this is leading. You know that too, right, I mean

534
00:25:12,560 –> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: it’s that you felt that like this guy, They’re like,

535
00:25:14,960 –> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 2: oh wait, the edge pieces are in this draw so

536
00:25:16,720 –> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: like we’re gonna border it around and we’ve got something

537
00:25:19,400 –> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: huge here.

538
00:25:20,320 –> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 3: Well, with all that in mind, there’s this awesome shot

539
00:25:22,480 –> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 3: of you after the AFC Championship came against the Titans.

540
00:25:25,440 –> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 3: The confetti’s falling and you’re tearing up on the field. Yeah,

541
00:25:28,440 –> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 3: everything you went through, all the adversity to lead to

542
00:25:31,040 –> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: that moment.

543
00:25:31,760 –> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 4: What was that night like for you?

544
00:25:33,920 –> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: It was a whole Like that for me was more

545
00:25:36,359 –> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: emotional than the Super Bowl because it I mean, they’ll

546
00:25:40,640 –> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: just the Lamar Hunt Trophy and I mean I was

547
00:25:44,119 –> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: literally holding some of their kids on the sidelines as

548
00:25:47,200 –> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: a younger player, and then to see them like celebrating

549
00:25:50,040 –> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: and knowing that we lost, you know, Lamar in two

550
00:25:53,359 –> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 2: thousand and six, it was just like just came to

551
00:25:55,960 –> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 2: a head. Really, I just didn’t expect that. I thought

552
00:26:00,359 –> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: it was gonna one thing. It’s like, oh, finally you know,

553
00:26:02,119 –> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: we you know, it’s not New England anymore. Thank god,

554
00:26:04,119 –> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 2: we punched our ticket to the Super Bowl. But it

555
00:26:05,760 –> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 2: was way more emotional because I’d sit in the stadium

556
00:26:10,680 –> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 2: across the street and watch Royals fans just you know,

557
00:26:14,480 –> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: dog it out and then finally win a championship and

558
00:26:16,560 –> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: it was finally our turn, and so it was just

559
00:26:19,760 –> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: super emotional because most of the time as a player,

560
00:26:22,080 –> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 2: you don’t at least for the golfer of the team

561
00:26:26,040 –> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 2: like weird like golfers is. You don’t want to look

562
00:26:29,200 –> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: up in the stands. You want to be distracted. And

563
00:26:30,880 –> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: so it was the moment I looked up and you realize,

564
00:26:34,440 –> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 2: holy crap, like we like we did it. Sorry, I’m

565
00:26:39,440 –> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: trying to talk to it, but yeah, that was just

566
00:26:42,680 –> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: so amazing. And now it’s common like that’s just what

567
00:26:46,400 –> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: we’re going to drive in for a win at Arrowhead,

568
00:26:48,200 –> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: like it just happens.

569
00:26:49,640 –> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 3: But it’s not normal, you know, And you help lay

570
00:26:52,040 –> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 3: the foundation for what we have now.

571
00:26:55,520 –> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Those of you who are listening and not watching We

572
00:26:58,359 –> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: are wearing two jerseys, and this defending the Kingdom is

573
00:27:03,160 –> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: entitled deuces are wild out of respect to this young man,

574
00:27:09,160 –> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: but we know this, the deuce will always be in

575
00:27:11,240 –> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 1: our heart. Congratulations brother on a great run. I appreciate it, Yes, sir,

576
00:27:17,240 –> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: go wow. I got emotional to do that with him.

577
00:27:26,520 –> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: It was walking back in time with him through those

578
00:27:29,560 –> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: difficult times but then getting the payoff. But to see

579
00:27:33,160 –> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: how much it meant to him. It still means to him.

580
00:27:36,320 –> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: He’s talking about going down one fifty and making the

581
00:27:38,800 –> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: turn of like I don’t work there anymore. Yeah, I mean,

582
00:27:41,600 –> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: that’s that’s stuff. That’s It’s really really something that I

583
00:27:46,000 –> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: think the fans when when you get somebody who’s dug

584
00:27:48,520 –> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: the roots as deep as he has a dug him

585
00:27:51,880 –> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: that I think fans can gloss over just how much

586
00:27:55,760 –> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: it meant and means to him.

587
00:27:57,240 –> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 3: It’s extremely relatable. I think the reality is in professional

588
00:28:01,280 –> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 3: sports that a lot of times players come and go

589
00:28:05,040 –> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 3: and they had a great experience in a place, but

590
00:28:07,320 –> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: it’s not their home. It was a stop in their journey.

591
00:28:09,920 –> 00:28:12,439
Speaker 3: They move on and that’s fine. That happens a lot.

592
00:28:12,480 –> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: It’s totally fine. There are people though, like Dustin Colquit,

593
00:28:16,920 –> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: where this is a lot more than just to stop

594
00:28:19,119 –> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 3: in his journey.

595
00:28:20,160 –> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 4: This was a lot more than a job.

596
00:28:21,960 –> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 3: And you know, you and I were talking about it

597
00:28:24,520 –> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: earlier today that it kind of is like how you

598
00:28:28,200 –> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 3: and I feel about this team, or how any fan

599
00:28:30,640 –> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 3: out there feels about this team. He loves this place,

600
00:28:33,880 –> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 3: he loves it and being here every day winning with

601
00:28:37,760 –> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: this team was something that meant more to him than

602
00:28:41,360 –> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 3: just a job just to stop in his journey, just

603
00:28:44,040 –> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: a team that he played on. It was his team.

604
00:28:47,080 –> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: He was a Chief and the Chiefs were winning when

605
00:28:49,760 –> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 3: he was here, and he got to be a part

606
00:28:51,320 –> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: of that, not just on the field, but in the

607
00:28:53,360 –> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: locker room, in the community, all that stuff. And to

608
00:28:56,600 –> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 3: see how much it meant to him really kind of

609
00:28:59,440 –> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: was profound, I think. And we talked for a while

610
00:29:02,520 –> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: after the interview was over too, you could just tell

611
00:29:04,920 –> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: it means a lot. And I’m so glad the organization

612
00:29:08,280 –> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 3: did this for him today, because you know, it’s difficult

613
00:29:12,720 –> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 3: where you’re doing one thing your whole life and then

614
00:29:14,600 –> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 3: one day you’re not doing it anymore, and that’s hard,

615
00:29:19,000 –> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 3: and I think it’s so cool that the organization invited

616
00:29:22,360 –> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: them here today gave him a whole day, got to

617
00:29:24,160 –> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 3: go out to practice, got to see all the guys,

618
00:29:26,920 –> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: got to see coach Read, coach Tob, everybody, got to

619
00:29:29,960 –> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 3: do a press conference like that’s awesome. So I’m just

620
00:29:32,680 –> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 3: glad he had his day because clearly it means a

621
00:29:35,320 –> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: lot to him, not just all the stuff today, but

622
00:29:38,920 –> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: his time here means a lot to him, and it

623
00:29:41,200 –> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: was important to recognize and to celebrate that.

624
00:29:43,960 –> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: And you talk about doing something for fifteen years, you

625
00:29:46,160 –> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: don’t get to do it anymore. But when you put

626
00:29:47,720 –> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: every fiber of your body into it, Yeah, and you

627
00:29:51,000 –> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: experience the highest of highs wich you did, and the

628
00:29:53,560 –> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: lowest of lows, which he did. That it just again

629
00:29:57,840 –> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: puts it all in perspective. One thing I did not

630
00:29:59,600 –> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: mention I wish I would have was Teams smile. He

631
00:30:03,280 –> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: started something here in Kansas City and really made it

632
00:30:06,160 –> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: grow in providing dental care for kids who would not

633
00:30:11,200 –> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: have it any other way. And we think about medical care,

634
00:30:13,920 –> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: we think about you know, books, and we think about

635
00:30:16,960 –> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 1: what Operation Breakthrough does. But it is really interesting because

636
00:30:20,000 –> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: he brought dentistry and health. We all know what it

637
00:30:23,400 –> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: means our health of our teeth to our entire body.

638
00:30:27,440 –> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: But he took that to a whole other level. And

639
00:30:30,440 –> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: he and Christia, their five kids, are wonderful. His faith

640
00:30:34,080 –> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: is so real, it’s so good. But Team Smile is

641
00:30:38,160 –> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: another just a great example of how Dustin has affected

642
00:30:41,520 –> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: so many lives outside of football.

643
00:30:43,600 –> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, like stuff like going to the dentist. We take

644
00:30:45,640 –> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: that for granted, like it’s like, ah, I have to

645
00:30:47,480 –> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 3: go to the dentist. But for a young kid whose

646
00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: parents or guardians can’t afford to send them to the dentist,

647
00:30:55,000 –> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: and let’s say that they just don’t have a great

648
00:30:57,040 –> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 3: situation going on with their teeth or with their health, Like,

649
00:31:01,360 –> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 3: not only is it a health thing, it’s a confidence thing.

650
00:31:04,960 –> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 3: And when you’re that age, that’s super important. And it’s

651
00:31:08,520 –> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 3: just so cool what Dustin did, Like he was literally

652
00:31:10,800 –> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: changing lives, like changing young lives. And Team Smile was

653
00:31:15,200 –> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: the most incredible thing while he was here. It was

654
00:31:17,360 –> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 3: always fun to go over to the stadium when they’d

655
00:31:19,560 –> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: have their huge Team Smile, like free dental care like extravaganza,

656
00:31:24,040 –> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: and you just have like bus loads of kids coming

657
00:31:26,520 –> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 3: in the otherwise wouldn’t have dental care and they get

658
00:31:29,680 –> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 3: it all done that day at Arrowhead, Like that’s so cool.

659
00:31:32,840 –> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 3: I used to love going over to that event. Like

660
00:31:34,480 –> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 3: he’d bring his teammates over. It was awesome. So yeah,

661
00:31:37,920 –> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, we could talk forever about this guy.

662
00:31:40,280 –> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: Great player, great guy, and he was great in the community.

663
00:31:43,400 –> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: He didn’t waste the platform that he had. He made

664
00:31:45,640 –> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 3: this place better than he found it.

665
00:31:48,200 –> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: We’re going to close this way. Just some overall feelings

666
00:31:50,720 –> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 1: of OTAs phase three week two days one two and

667
00:31:55,760 –> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: three two two. There we go. But if we’re producers,

668
00:32:02,880 –> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: are wild, I would say that in team smile would

669
00:32:08,640 –> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: be worth smiling. So far overall, it’s watching this two weeks,

670
00:32:13,840 –> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: I just feel like the Chiefs are ahead of schedule.

671
00:32:16,840 –> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: I think they’re a head of schedule in all three

672
00:32:18,920 –> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: phases of where we thought they would be. We mentioned

673
00:32:22,120 –> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: this last week, but the fact that the rookies to

674
00:32:24,240 –> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: me are ahead of schedule, but it’s been verified by

675
00:32:26,160 –> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: the coaching staff because we see it. But are we

676
00:32:28,920 –> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: seeing what they’re seeing? And they always kind of bring

677
00:32:31,680 –> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: me down a little bit as far as like just

678
00:32:33,600 –> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: keep temporary expectations. But they’re seeing it too, and there’s

679
00:32:38,080 –> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: some excitement. But even in this week, we have seen

680
00:32:42,000 –> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: some things that I thought is another step forward. We

681
00:32:47,160 –> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: saw today Elijah Williams, I’m sorry, Elijah Mitchell. Elijah Mitchell,

682
00:32:50,400 –> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: the former San Francisco running back, show a burst. We’ve

683
00:32:53,840 –> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: seen Rashad Smith show a burst. But defensively is where

684
00:32:58,240 –> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: I see the excitement in me in that Steve Spagnolo

685
00:33:02,600 –> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: now is going to be able to do a lot

686
00:33:05,520 –> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: of different things. There’s just a lot of versatility on

687
00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: this defense at all three levels.

688
00:33:10,280 –> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, saw Noel Williams jump arount and pick off a

689
00:33:13,320 –> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 3: pass and team drills today. I think just adding him

690
00:33:17,040 –> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 3: and adding Christian Fulton from the Chargers, there is so

691
00:33:20,200 –> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 3: much more depth at corner now. And you’re right with

692
00:33:22,760 –> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 3: the versatility, you can do so many things with Trent

693
00:33:24,960 –> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 3: McDuffie now, like you don’t have to necessarily pigeonhole trimp

694
00:33:28,400 –> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: McDuffie into a certain role. He can do a whole

695
00:33:30,400 –> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 3: bunch of stuff as your best defender in the secondary.

696
00:33:33,920 –> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, just adding those players does a lot. Noel Williams,

697
00:33:37,800 –> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 3: I mean the coaches have said his head’s kind of

698
00:33:39,800 –> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 3: spending right now. He still has a long way to go,

699
00:33:42,080 –> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 3: but you can see it with him, which is exciting.

700
00:33:45,320 –> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 3: And speaking of a head of schedule, you know two

701
00:33:47,560 –> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 3: individual things that have me fired up is that Josh

702
00:33:51,080 –> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: Simmons did team drills today. He was out there doing

703
00:33:53,920 –> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 3: team stuff.

704
00:33:54,600 –> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: And that’s back up. Did you think on June fourth,

705
00:33:57,280 –> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: the day that we drafted him, that he would be

706
00:33:59,160 –> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: in team drills? Now, let’s he didn’t go fifty snaps,

707
00:34:02,160 –> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: they weren’t in pads, but he lined up with the

708
00:34:04,680 –> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: ones when they started teamwork. Nowhere. I would have lost

709
00:34:08,320 –> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks five times over five hundred bucks. I

710
00:34:11,680 –> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: would have bet against it every time that on June

711
00:34:13,640 –> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: the fourth p teller tendon injury rehabbed that he would

712
00:34:16,680 –> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: be out there in that circumstance.

713
00:34:18,640 –> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 3: I think all of us assumed, those of us not

714
00:34:22,239 –> 00:34:24,319
Speaker 3: with the medical reports. That is, like you and I

715
00:34:24,360 –> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 3: when we saw Josh Simmons get drafted. I think a

716
00:34:27,600 –> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 3: fair assumption and something that we were comfortable with was

717
00:34:31,520 –> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 3: a this is kind of maybe a red shirt year

718
00:34:33,400 –> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 3: for him, but hey, twenty twenty six really fired up

719
00:34:36,000 –> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: for what he can do.

720
00:34:37,239 –> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: Well.

721
00:34:37,840 –> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 3: If you’re doing team stuff in early June, I think

722
00:34:40,520 –> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 3: this is not going to be a red shirt year

723
00:34:42,200 –> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 3: for Josh Simmons. Coach Ree just talked about how he’s

724
00:34:44,840 –> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 3: going to be available for training camp, to be like

725
00:34:46,840 –> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: full go for training camp, and while they’re kind of

726
00:34:49,400 –> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 3: easing him into this stuff, like it’s not like like

727
00:34:52,080 –> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 3: you said, they’re not wearing pads right now, it’s not

728
00:34:54,080 –> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: like they were doing long drive drill or anything today,

729
00:34:56,680 –> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 3: but still working him in with team drills and early

730
00:34:59,760 –> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 3: June is great news, Like that’s a great sign. Another

731
00:35:03,280 –> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 3: one is Rashie Rice is doing just about everything out there,

732
00:35:06,520 –> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 3: which is amazing because I think sometimes we assume like

733
00:35:10,320 –> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 3: these guys are video game characters and Okay, you have

734
00:35:13,320 –> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: this surgery this time frame, you’ll be good to go

735
00:35:16,680 –> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 3: just the same. It’s difficult with like knee reconstructions, you

736
00:35:21,000 –> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 3: never really know. But Rashi looks explosive, he looks fast,

737
00:35:26,000 –> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 3: he looks like he did last year around this time.

738
00:35:28,200 –> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 3: That’s what coach Naggie was talking about after practice today.

739
00:35:31,239 –> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 3: So when you have two players that were relative question

740
00:35:35,680 –> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 3: marks going into training camp, like where is Rashie Rice

741
00:35:38,680 –> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 3: in his rehab? Where is Josh Simmons, well at least

742
00:35:41,360 –> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: watching OTA’s that’s a two big positives for me is

743
00:35:44,440 –> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 3: that they are out there competing and that’s all you

744
00:35:46,719 –> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 3: could hope for for this time of year.

745
00:35:48,640 –> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: The other thing that I’ve noticed in these two weeks

746
00:35:51,400 –> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 1: is putting more on the plate of a second year,

747
00:35:55,200 –> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: third year and a fourth year player and basically like

748
00:35:59,520 –> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: following an academic sequence and seeing how they handle it.

749
00:36:03,800 –> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: And we have seen that from year one to year two.

750
00:36:06,640 –> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: Jaden Hicks comes to mind in this regard. But you

751
00:36:10,719 –> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: also look at Leo Chanel so going into his what

752
00:36:14,800 –> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: third year than fourth year actually for him. So guy’s

753
00:36:20,280 –> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: going into the fourth year, but putting more on their plate,

754
00:36:22,560 –> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: giving them more responsibility, seeing what they can do. And

755
00:36:26,480 –> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. The other thing is

756
00:36:29,560 –> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy put more on his plate. We’re gonna there’s

757
00:36:34,360 –> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: more routes, you’re gonna line up differently, you’re gonna have

758
00:36:36,560 –> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: these looks that are different. And one thing I’ve noticed

759
00:36:39,800 –> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: about Worthy so far is he’s brought his lunch pail

760
00:36:42,480 –> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: to work every day. They’re running his legs off getting

761
00:36:45,680 –> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 1: at cardio and so, but he’s handling it and he’s

762
00:36:49,480 –> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: working and there’s no dog in the route. And I

763
00:36:52,920 –> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: don’t mean dawg the route. It’s more like you know,

764
00:36:55,600 –> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: being low key in it. But there’s just being a test.

765
00:36:59,480 –> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: They’re always testing, pushing, testing, Mike Kelly endo right, push

766
00:37:04,400 –> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: what can he handle? Give me more stuff to do?

767
00:37:07,239 –> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: Hunter nor Is, Ed CJ. Hansen, Kingsley, Suamatia, more and

768
00:37:12,040 –> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: more and more? How much more can you take? How

769
00:37:13,880 –> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: much more can you handle? How you perform? And that’s

770
00:37:16,320 –> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: the experimental stage. This goes back to the OEI A

771
00:37:19,760 –> 00:37:22,960
Speaker 1: couple of dtks ago, Well, we’re serious about it because

772
00:37:22,960 –> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: we see it that push, push, experiment, push what can

773
00:37:27,120 –> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: you handle? What can we get to so that when

774
00:37:29,480 –> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 1: you get to camp and you get into the games,

775
00:37:32,719 –> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: we know that you can pretty much have a confidence

776
00:37:35,280 –> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: in handling these fifteen things absolutely.

777
00:37:38,239 –> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 3: And I know we already talked about Trent McDuffie, but

778
00:37:40,480 –> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 3: this thought just popped into my head as well that

779
00:37:43,200 –> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 3: the two open days of Chief’s Ota practices so far,

780
00:37:47,600 –> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 3: one constant between the two as Trent McDuffie had an interception.

781
00:37:51,160 –> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 3: And if you think about Trent waited forever to get

782
00:37:54,560 –> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 3: his first interception. We all knew he was one of

783
00:37:56,600 –> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: the best corners in the NFL, just didn’t have that

784
00:37:58,560 –> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 3: interception yet. I only got that monkey off his back

785
00:38:01,440 –> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 3: last year. But he’s just always around the ball so

786
00:38:04,640 –> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 3: far watching practice. The one today was a deflection just

787
00:38:07,920 –> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 3: landed right in his arms. The one last week was

788
00:38:10,040 –> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 3: more of a pure interception. But still he’s just been

789
00:38:13,040 –> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 3: around the football and we talk about how great Trent is.

790
00:38:16,480 –> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 3: I think Trent in store for like a monster year

791
00:38:19,680 –> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 3: just based on watching him in practice, and it’s crazy.

792
00:38:22,600 –> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 3: He’s a veteran now, like he’s like a leader, but

793
00:38:24,560 –> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 3: same kind of deal, like the more you can do.

794
00:38:26,800 –> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 3: One rookie I wanted to mention from today as well,

795
00:38:29,040 –> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: who maybe made the play of the day was a

796
00:38:31,080 –> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 3: Jake brenningstool tight end out of Clemson, undrafted free agent.

797
00:38:35,520 –> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 3: He’s a player to watch in training camp in the

798
00:38:37,640 –> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 3: preseason because he’s just really impressed me so far. Today

799
00:38:41,920 –> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: during team drills, again not a lot of contact, keep

800
00:38:46,360 –> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 3: that in mind, but still as much as there can be,

801
00:38:49,200 –> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 3: really tight coverage on him up the scene and he

802
00:38:51,840 –> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 3: climbed the ladder, went up and got a perfect pass,

803
00:38:56,080 –> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 3: full extension deep down the field. Earlier today and a

804
00:39:00,080 –> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 3: a great play, the kind of play that makes you

805
00:39:02,080 –> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 3: scribble something down right. And I think sometimes there’s this

806
00:39:06,800 –> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 3: conception with these practices. I keep saying there’s no hitting

807
00:39:09,800 –> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: and all that. It’s not easy. It’s not as simple

808
00:39:13,160 –> 00:39:15,439
Speaker 3: as they’re in short, just kind of jogging running around

809
00:39:15,560 –> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 3: like the defenders are competing because they want to make

810
00:39:18,280 –> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 3: the team too, So it’s difficult, it’s hard and britting.

811
00:39:21,200 –> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: Steel just kind of looks the part. So he’s a

812
00:39:23,600 –> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 3: player that I’m hoping to see him kind of stack

813
00:39:26,040 –> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 3: these practices over the course of the summer.

814
00:39:28,360 –> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 4: But certainly a guy to watch.

815
00:39:30,160 –> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: Kind of a Dulton Schultze, Dalton Kin Katie kind of

816
00:39:32,719 –> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: looking guy.

817
00:39:33,480 –> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: What kind of like a leaner like. He’s not the

818
00:39:36,320 –> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 3: prototypical like lumbering kind of tight end. He’s an athlete.

819
00:39:40,239 –> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: He’s like a big wide receiver. But you know, there’s

820
00:39:43,120 –> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 3: a lot of those guys in the league now, so

821
00:39:45,320 –> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 3: it could be a player to watch.

822
00:39:46,440 –> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: Great buddy control in him. We saw that play down

823
00:39:49,480 –> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: the same down the rails was that way too, two

824
00:39:53,000 –> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: close this way to defensive Chris Jones is working, he’s working,

825
00:39:57,320 –> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: he’s working.

826
00:39:58,000 –> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 2: He looks awesome too.

827
00:39:59,400 –> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: And then the other one who might be in my opinion,

828
00:40:01,560 –> 00:40:05,240
Speaker 1: the MVP of OTA so far is George carloftis. Oh yeah,

829
00:40:05,520 –> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: it’s every day, it’s almost every snap he’s out there.

830
00:40:08,520 –> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: Of every day, Like if he stays healthy, I just

831
00:40:12,840 –> 00:40:15,240
Speaker 1: don’t want to get ahead of myself. He is better,

832
00:40:16,040 –> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: George Carloftis is better. He’s uh, he’s looks power, more powerful, quicker,

833
00:40:21,840 –> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: He’s got more moves in the tool bag. And I

834
00:40:24,760 –> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: just I don’t know. He could have a big year.

835
00:40:26,560 –> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 3: Not to make an obvious Purdue connection, but like he

836
00:40:30,040 –> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 3: just reminds me of like a freight train right now.

837
00:40:32,640 –> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 4: Like around the edgeiler. Yeah right, I mean.

838
00:40:35,120 –> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 3: He’s just he’s fast, he’s quick, but he’s powerful. You

839
00:40:39,920 –> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 3: don’t have like sacks in these practices, but when the

840
00:40:44,000 –> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 3: defender gets close enough, the coaches will just there’s been

841
00:40:48,800 –> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 3: there’s been some of those that George carloft Is and

842
00:40:51,040 –> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: it’s not necessarily because the offensive line of struggling. It’s

843
00:40:53,719 –> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 3: because George Carloftis was that good on that rep. So yeah,

844
00:40:56,880 –> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 3: I think George is in store for a big year

845
00:40:58,600 –> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 3: as well.

846
00:40:59,080 –> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 4: It’s cool.

847
00:41:00,080 –> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 3: You know, we talk about how transformative the twenty twenty

848
00:41:02,960 –> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 3: two draft class was and how that class helped us

849
00:41:06,280 –> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 3: get to the Super Bowl, win the Super Bowl, all that,

850
00:41:08,920 –> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 3: we’re still talking about those guys improving. You know, we’ve

851
00:41:11,800 –> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 3: talked about multiple of those guys like Leo, George Trent

852
00:41:15,840 –> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 3: improving going into their fourth year as pros.

853
00:41:18,719 –> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 4: I think that’s pretty cool.

854
00:41:20,400 –> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: You’d be wild to think they could be even better,

855
00:41:22,800 –> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: But hey, this DTK is about wild anyway. Deuces are wild, right.

856
00:41:28,600 –> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: Another big shout out to Dustin Colquit, Thank you, brother,

857
00:41:31,800 –> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: for fifteen incredible years as an unforgettable Chiefs Kingdom Rep.
