‘Attendance, Attitude & Ahead of Schedule’ – Week 3 Practice Recap | Defending The Kingdom

1
00:00:00,280 –> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: It’s a more important part of the alphabet in the

2
00:00:02,720 –> 00:00:06,359
Speaker 1: National Football League than fans give it credit for. It’s OTAs,

3
00:00:06,480 –> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: and we could ask every day what’s an ota. Well,

4
00:00:09,840 –> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: it’s an off season training activity for some teams. A

5
00:00:13,080 –> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: lot of teams they just kind of blow them off.

6
00:00:15,720 –> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: For the Kansas City Chiefs, it’s summer school, and it’s

7
00:00:19,360 –> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: summer school with attendance, attention, and aos is the result.

8
00:00:27,120 –> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Let’s keeps it on an RPO at the five, it’s

9
00:00:29,240 –> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: a lead block.

10
00:00:30,120 –> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 3: He goes into the ends on this side. Touchdown, Chunzas City.

11
00:00:36,040 –> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: How everyone, I’m Mitchelti’s boy to the Chiefs along with

12
00:00:38,479 –> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: senior team reporter Matt McMullen. It is OTAs. We’re getting

13
00:00:42,680 –> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: near the end of it. Next week will be the

14
00:00:44,600 –> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp. We have our first look two days

15
00:00:47,360 –> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: media days on Monday, and then the guys will scatter

16
00:00:51,200 –> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: for nearly a month. The closest thing the NFL has

17
00:00:53,880 –> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: to a plant shutdown, but the plant’s not shut down yet,

18
00:00:57,360 –> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: especially in the Chiefs Kingdom where or a very real thing.

19
00:01:02,280 –> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it’s really easy to blow

20
00:01:05,280 –> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: off this time because I get the guys or just

21
00:01:07,920 –> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 3: in shorts right now and no pads, no hitting, none

22
00:01:12,040 –> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: of that. But I really believe the way the Chiefs

23
00:01:15,280 –> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: attack this time is one of the reasons they’ve been

24
00:01:17,760 –> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: so successful over the years, because if you just look

25
00:01:21,000 –> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: on like Twitter or whatever and see how other teams

26
00:01:24,160 –> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 3: use this, a lot of teams use it just strictly

27
00:01:27,440 –> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: for team building, like hey, we’re going to top golf

28
00:01:29,760 –> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 3: today or we’re going to go paintballing today and the

29
00:01:32,840 –> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: Rams are in Hawaii. Yeah, Like I think a lot

30
00:01:34,920 –> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 3: of times that’s seen as like, wow, this is really

31
00:01:36,959 –> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: cutting edge. I think when you’re a football team and

32
00:01:40,319 –> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 3: you’re allotted ten practices, because that’s all you get for OTAs,

33
00:01:43,920 –> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: you get ten practices in the offseason to do offensive

34
00:01:47,040 –> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: versus defensive football. The teams that actually go out and

35
00:01:50,320 –> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: play football and attack it and do as much as

36
00:01:53,400 –> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 3: they possibly can in that time and treat it like

37
00:01:55,640 –> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 3: it’s training camp, those are the teams that are going

38
00:01:58,000 –> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: to have a chance to win the whole thing at

39
00:01:59,400 –> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 3: the end. And consistently we’ve seen that. So the Chiefs

40
00:02:02,920 –> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 3: they fully take advantage of this time. Coach read as

41
00:02:06,240 –> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 3: a master in terms of efficiency and maximizing the time

42
00:02:10,000 –> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 3: they have out there on the field, and we’ve seen

43
00:02:11,800 –> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 3: some great things. We’re going to talk about them a

44
00:02:13,280 –> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: little bit later. But yeah, no like paintballing or top

45
00:02:17,400 –> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 3: golf for the Chiefs, they’re doing stuff on the field.

46
00:02:21,040 –> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: It’s I don’t know the league we’re going to get

47
00:02:23,000 –> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: into this, but I think it’s an issue for the

48
00:02:25,480 –> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: league and everybody’s kind of got to dive in here.

49
00:02:28,919 –> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: But we’ll get into why the.

50
00:02:30,120 –> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs do it, the result and what people forget and

51
00:02:33,280 –> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: they just look at the end result, they don’t see

52
00:02:35,200 –> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: the process. I know it’s an overused cliche, but it’s

53
00:02:38,360 –> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: very real. And the OTAs are a gigantic part of

54
00:02:42,000 –> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs being the winning pro franchise. The

55
00:02:44,880 –> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: winning is pro franchise over the past ten seasons, and

56
00:02:48,200 –> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: that precedes Patrick Mahomes by three years. So anyway, we’ll

57
00:02:53,400 –> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: get into that, but first let’s go around the world.

58
00:02:55,240 –> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 3: You ever get tired of saying that we’re the winnings

59
00:02:57,760 –> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: pro franchise in the last ten years?

60
00:03:00,120 –> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Crazy, isn’t this pretty awesome?

61
00:03:01,760 –> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: And then I look at everybody else on that list,

62
00:03:03,480 –> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: You at the Dodgers, and yeah, and so all the

63
00:03:06,440 –> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: teams you would expect to be on there and Chiefs first.

64
00:03:09,160 –> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the big bar draft.

65
00:03:10,919 –> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: There’s just big red pops up there at seventy five percent.

66
00:03:14,840 –> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: But a big part of that is preparation and pre

67
00:03:17,840 –> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: You cannot wait until camp training camp to prepare. You

68
00:03:22,040 –> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: cannot wait until the first two weeks before the game

69
00:03:24,320 –> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: to prepare. And that’s why OTA is and we learned

70
00:03:27,080 –> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: it now coaches in what it’s thirteenth year as head

71
00:03:30,760 –> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: coach of the Chiefs, I saw it in twenty thirteen

72
00:03:33,360 –> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: and going, oh my gosh, OTAs are kind of like camp.

73
00:03:36,200 –> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: But let’s we’ll get to that. Let’s go around the world. Yeah,

74
00:03:38,480 –> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: let’s do it. So five today once again for Hollyllywood Brown.

75
00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you’re so excited Hollywood Brown’s But.

76
00:03:45,040 –> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: I’m a big Hollywood Brown fan. I don’t know. This

77
00:03:47,840 –> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: is the thing that no one is talking about outside

78
00:03:50,600 –> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: of Chiefs Kingdom is that we had no Hollywood Brown

79
00:03:55,080 –> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 3: last year. I get he came back for the very end,

80
00:03:57,800 –> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: but this is a player who was a pick that

81
00:04:01,200 –> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: has had one thousand yard seasons that can change an offense,

82
00:04:04,080 –> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: and we didn’t have him until the very end last year,

83
00:04:06,240 –> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: where basically because he attacked his rehab and got after it.

84
00:04:09,560 –> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: He was able to sprinkle in at the end. But

85
00:04:11,840 –> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: you can’t really be part of the offense if you’re

86
00:04:14,240 –> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 3: not part of it the entire season, right, you’re not

87
00:04:16,839 –> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 3: really fully ingrained in it. You had Hollywood Brown back,

88
00:04:19,680 –> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: you have Verra she Rice for a full year, which

89
00:04:21,520 –> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 3: for she has been a monster in mini camp and

90
00:04:24,920 –> 00:04:28,359
Speaker 3: OTAs and everything, and of course you have Xavier Worthy

91
00:04:28,360 –> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: with a second year. I’m as fired up about it.

92
00:04:30,080 –> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: I’m going to keep saying it. Anyway, let’s go around

93
00:04:32,080 –> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 3: the world.

94
00:04:32,480 –> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: So people forgot that around the NFL.

95
00:04:34,560 –> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 3: They forgot that she got hurt. They forgot that Hollywood.

96
00:04:36,960 –> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: Early he is hurt early, and that Hollywood Brown gets

97
00:04:39,640 –> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: hurt on the first play that he touched the ball

98
00:04:42,000 –> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: in preseason.

99
00:04:42,920 –> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 3: They’re like, well, it’s basically the same group. No, it’s not.

100
00:04:45,640 –> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 3: We didn’t have It’s like, it’s like we went out

101
00:04:48,040 –> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 3: and signed Rashi Rice and signed Hollywood Brown this offseason.

102
00:04:51,080 –> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: That’s basically what it is. So anyway, I digress. So

103
00:04:55,640 –> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: five today, there’s a user on YouTube. Their user name

104
00:04:59,200 –> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: is DFP Underscore one. They said they’d rep some DTK

105
00:05:03,240 –> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: gear if it ever becomes available, including a junior team

106
00:05:06,480 –> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: reporter shirt. I mean the merchandise, what opportunities are endless

107
00:05:10,960 –> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 3: we can We’re gonna have like the super cool Kingdom

108
00:05:13,040 –> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: Defender shirt and a junior team reporter shirt and a

109
00:05:17,120 –> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 3: sophomore in a freshman team reporter. Come yeah, I mean listen,

110
00:05:20,920 –> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: we got to talk to somebody in marketing about this.

111
00:05:22,839 –> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: There’s just opportunities. Remember talking about a listener who had

112
00:05:27,040 –> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: lived in Laos for a while, David well So Bill

113
00:05:30,200 –> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: wrote in and said that the s is actually silent

114
00:05:32,760 –> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: for Laotian so it’s just Lao. So the more that

115
00:05:36,240 –> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: you listen to DTK, it’s not just football stuff, you’re

116
00:05:39,120 –> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 3: going to learn that the Philippines are in the northern

117
00:05:40,839 –> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: hemisphere amazing, and you’re going to learn that if you’re

118
00:05:43,440 –> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 3: going to Laos, it’s actually Lao. So there you go.

119
00:05:46,160 –> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: The more Philippines actually moved. People don’t know this. It

120
00:05:49,080 –> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: actually shifted. I know the Earth’s going through some changes,

121
00:05:52,240 –> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: but the Philippines shifted from the southern hemisphere to the

122
00:05:54,760 –> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: northern hemisphere. That’s been fascinating. So people can you know,

123
00:05:58,760 –> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: we went through OEI and so they can follow like

124
00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 1: socioeconomic discussionstk Uh and of course geography and then culture, uh,

125
00:06:08,200 –> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: and get into Southeast Asian culture.

126
00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: So it’s LAO.

127
00:06:11,400 –> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: So we’ve talked more about we always have these acronyms

128
00:06:14,920 –> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: s C A C SO put s C A C

129
00:06:17,080 –> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: on here attendance, attitude, aos and Southeast Asian culture.

130
00:06:22,800 –> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: It’s a lot of Southeast Asia. I didn’t you know,

131
00:06:25,040 –> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 3: I think we’d get into that, but here we are.

132
00:06:26,600 –> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: So’s it’s the geography corner here on TTK, it’s LAO.

133
00:06:30,320 –> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: So there you go, thank you, Bill. So Richard is

134
00:06:33,640 –> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: listening in southwest Texas, just west of San Antonio.

135
00:06:37,520 –> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: Yice. Uh, Milton out there, it sure is.

136
00:06:41,240 –> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: We were talking about football movies off air and yeah,

137
00:06:44,640 –> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 3: some good old football movies and good old Texas. Milton

138
00:06:47,760 –> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 3: is in Grandview, Missouri and the Lugs yep. And then

139
00:06:51,080 –> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: lastly heard from Michael. So I might mispronounce this. He’s

140
00:06:54,360 –> 00:06:59,559
Speaker 3: from Leipzig, Germany. Leipzig, Okay, So Michael’s from Leipzig, Germany.

141
00:07:00,040 –> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: But this is cool. So in nineteen ninety three he

142
00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 3: was an exchange student at Otis Bison High School in Bison, Kansas.

143
00:07:05,800 –> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: The Cougars the b in Bison, Kansas, They’re the Cougars.

144
00:07:10,080 –> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: It’s dumb.

145
00:07:11,080 –> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: So they combine so Otis Is, Like, you’re not going

146
00:07:14,600 –> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: to be the Bison?

147
00:07:15,360 –> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: Bison?

148
00:07:15,920 –> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, and I think Bison when they had their

149
00:07:18,680 –> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: own school, we’re.

150
00:07:19,360 –> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: The Buffaloes or the Bison.

151
00:07:20,600 –> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: They have to be, Yeah, they have to be. But

152
00:07:23,080 –> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: then Otis combines. It’s a big deal when they combine

153
00:07:25,720 –> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: these towns. Now, okay, okay, it’s like Blue Valley north

154
00:07:28,400 –> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: So you know, going with Blue Valley Northwest, what are

155
00:07:31,320 –> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: we going to be? What’s our colors going to be?

156
00:07:32,760 –> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: What’s the nickname going to be? Like, we’re going to

157
00:07:34,600 –> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: be the Bison because it’s Bison makes nope. Otis is

158
00:07:36,800 –> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: going new So we got to be orange and blue

159
00:07:38,760 –> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: and be the cougars. So Otis Bison was one of

160
00:07:41,680 –> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: my fraternity brothers. Okay, state was Otis Byson?

161
00:07:43,880 –> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 3: That’s cool? Okay, So was Otis a high school originally?

162
00:07:46,880 –> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah?

163
00:07:47,400 –> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 3: What was their mascot?

164
00:07:48,720 –> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Good question? Usually I don’t deal with defunct high schools, But.

165
00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: I gat a challenge for you.

166
00:07:54,440 –> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: I can, I can, but I don’t remember Otis. I’ll

167
00:07:57,520 –> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: have to look that up. Comp DTK we Go Kingdom

168
00:08:00,920 –> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Defenders will.

169
00:08:01,560 –> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: Load up on it. Let us know you ain’t gonna

170
00:08:03,560 –> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: let the Bison be the Bison. If Otis is going to.

171
00:08:05,640 –> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 3: Combine it, they could have depending on what Otis’s original

172
00:08:08,840 –> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 3: mascot was, they could have made it like a mythical creature.

173
00:08:11,120 –> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: Should have just combine it.

174
00:08:12,280 –> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: So what I’m saying, you’ve got to get creative with

175
00:08:13,800 –> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: these mascots. Yeah, that’s what I’m gonna if I ever retire.

176
00:08:16,280 –> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: I’m just gonna go from school to school.

177
00:08:18,080 –> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: The ones that have dumb ones are like, come on,

178
00:08:20,120 –> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: you just can’t be the Tigers. Let’s get something really

179
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: creative dealing with your geography or your history.

180
00:08:25,160 –> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

181
00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well over the course of Nebraska.

182
00:08:28,440 –> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Does a really good job with this. Everybody Nebraska’s got

183
00:08:31,160 –> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: good ones. Good to know.

184
00:08:33,280 –> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: Anyway. Michael was an exchange student at Otis Bison High

185
00:08:37,360 –> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: School and buy some Kansas. He’s been a chief fan

186
00:08:39,520 –> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: ever since. I think that’s awesome because people come here,

187
00:08:42,040 –> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 3: they’re around the culture for a while, and they’re like,

188
00:08:44,480 –> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: even though I’m going back to Germany, I’m a Chiefs fan.

189
00:08:46,800 –> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: I’m in and I think that’s great. His daughter is

190
00:08:49,559 –> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: an exchange student in Lawrence, and his whole family was

191
00:08:52,280 –> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: just in Kansas City, a few weeks ago and they

192
00:08:53,920 –> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: did a tour of the stadium and everything. So he’s

193
00:08:56,200 –> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: still fully in Like this is thirty years ago he

194
00:08:58,760 –> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: was here and he’s like a chiefs kingdom and he’s

195
00:09:00,800 –> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: still a part of it.

196
00:09:01,360 –> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: He has he’ll be in Frankfurt. Did he go to Frankfort?

197
00:09:03,760 –> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: Do we know for the game?

198
00:09:04,600 –> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: I don’t know, Michael, let us know if you went

199
00:09:06,080 –> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 3: to Frankfurt for the game. I know it’s sold out

200
00:09:07,840 –> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 3: super quick, so maybe not.

201
00:09:09,400 –> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: And if you’re a small Kansas high school, the key

202
00:09:11,760 –> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: is when you get an exchange student, get the kicker. Yeah,

203
00:09:16,720 –> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: so when they apply, like Michael, coming from Leipzig, DEUTSCHLND,

204
00:09:21,280 –> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: have you kicked?

205
00:09:22,480 –> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 2: Can you kick?

206
00:09:23,760 –> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: And because you went, if you’re going to get an

207
00:09:25,280 –> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: exchange student, then need to kick fifty yard field goals?

208
00:09:28,000 –> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: So does BiCon can nip? I don’t know lacrosse back

209
00:09:30,920 –> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: in the.

210
00:09:31,120 –> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: Day like Johnstin Rudy it’s coming over from was it Norway? Yeah,

211
00:09:34,760 –> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: And he’s like, this kicking thing is easy.

212
00:09:37,080 –> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: If you you got to get this right.

213
00:09:39,480 –> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: I mean there’s just protocol here for exchange students vetting.

214
00:09:43,000 –> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, espectically if.

215
00:09:44,080 –> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: You’re a small school and don’t have the you know,

216
00:09:46,400 –> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: the EKL schools have all got the soccer guy that

217
00:09:48,720 –> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: comes out and bust fifty five yard field goals just

218
00:09:51,080 –> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: happens or pats there are no brainers. Small schools not

219
00:09:55,240 –> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: so much. You get a kicker that can drill it

220
00:09:57,800 –> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: h then you get you know, you got something. So

221
00:10:01,679 –> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: if you’re going to get a foreign exchange student, here’s

222
00:10:03,720 –> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: here’s just a tip for small schools in all of

223
00:10:06,800 –> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Kingdom and the centric part here of the

224
00:10:09,840 –> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: primary part of the chief Kingdom, get a exchange student

225
00:10:13,679 –> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: that can kick fifty art field goals.

226
00:10:15,120 –> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: Okay, that’s where we start.

227
00:10:16,400 –> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: If you’re you know, if you’re coming to Smith’s Center,

228
00:10:18,160 –> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: you’re gonna be exchange student. Like, have you kicked a

229
00:10:20,120 –> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: fifty yard field goal?

230
00:10:21,559 –> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: Can you do it? Under pressure? To win a state title?

231
00:10:23,720 –> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 2: And and they’re in.

232
00:10:24,960 –> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 3: You need a kicker, it’s important. Yeah, yeah, well that’s

233
00:10:27,240 –> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: all I got today.

234
00:10:28,040 –> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: Then then you throw on the education part. I have one.

235
00:10:30,280 –> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: I was in Omaha last week, Omaha and Lincoln and

236
00:10:32,280 –> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: Eric Canneman Packer fan. But he’s also a dtkuh just

237
00:10:36,240 –> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: an officiado. He’s like, man, you know, he’s into it,

238
00:10:39,000 –> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: into the national Football League, and and so ran into

239
00:10:42,240 –> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: fans and Lincoln and Omaha who are DTK defenders.

240
00:10:44,800 –> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: Okay, very cool.

241
00:10:45,640 –> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: They want shirts, they want shirts. We would sell them out.

242
00:10:48,920 –> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: You need to work on it. This has been years

243
00:10:50,440 –> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: and the shirts and we need a worldwide tour.

244
00:10:53,160 –> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: Do you have that?

245
00:10:53,880 –> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: And Lao we would have one of our shows in

246
00:10:56,800 –> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Lao Wow and nut Laos? So what do we call

247
00:10:59,840 –> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: it wow if it’s lau.

248
00:11:01,720 –> 00:11:04,319
Speaker 3: I don’t really understand why letters are ever silent. Doesn’t

249
00:11:04,320 –> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: really make a lot of sense to me, Like why

250
00:11:05,920 –> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 3: is oh?

251
00:11:06,280 –> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: Don’t put an ass on laos? If Laos Laotians call

252
00:11:09,440 –> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: it Lao? Why do we call it laos?

253
00:11:11,400 –> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: You know? I always wondered why are there different like

254
00:11:14,520 –> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: names for countries, Like why do we call Germany Germany

255
00:11:17,200 –> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: if it’s deutsch Land? Like why is Germany Almannia in Spanish?

256
00:11:21,720 –> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 3: Makes no sense to me?

257
00:11:23,280 –> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: Like why?

258
00:11:24,080 –> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 3: I just don’t get it, like if it’s like why

259
00:11:26,200 –> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: do we call Paris Paris if it’s Peri? You know

260
00:11:29,160 –> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: it’s this is a June conversation.

261
00:11:34,040 –> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 1: V.

262
00:11:34,840 –> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 3: I don’t get it. It doesn’t make sense to me anyway.

263
00:11:37,200 –> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 3: But Lao, now we know when we go to Laos

264
00:11:39,760 –> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 3: or when we go to Lao, we’re gonna be there

265
00:11:42,080 –> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: and we’re gonna call it Lao and people are going

266
00:11:43,640 –> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 3: to be like, they know what they’re talking about.

267
00:11:45,160 –> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: I’m not gonna call it laos anymore. No, And if

268
00:11:47,679 –> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: I’m in some discussion, I go Lao, They’re gonna go

269
00:11:49,760 –> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 1: don’t you mean Laos?

270
00:11:50,720 –> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 2: No?

271
00:11:51,000 –> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: No?

272
00:11:53,720 –> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: So all right, that’s part of attendance, yes, and attitude

273
00:11:58,040 –> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: and and aos.

274
00:11:59,200 –> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: She fast forwarded missed the Great Conversation.

275
00:12:01,360 –> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: So we’re dealing with OTAs another acronym off season training activity.

276
00:12:05,120 –> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: We have been in this mode the last couple of weeks,

277
00:12:08,000 –> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: but it’s been a very good week.

278
00:12:10,040 –> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: And I’m gonna go what am I missing? What am

279
00:12:13,120 –> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: I missing?

280
00:12:14,000 –> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Because these other teams talk about playing disc golf, going

281
00:12:16,480 –> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: to Hawaii, and I don’t know, Let’s go.

282
00:12:18,120 –> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 2: To the Lake.

283
00:12:20,120 –> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: The Chiefs in September under Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid.

284
00:12:27,400 –> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: So I just took it back to eighteen when Pat

285
00:12:30,160 –> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: became the QB one because I think that’s modern history

286
00:12:33,679 –> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs Kingdom as far as what’s been accomplished

287
00:12:36,559 –> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: since then. The Chiefs are nineteen and four in September.

288
00:12:40,320 –> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: They have had in that span which covers seven seasons.

289
00:12:44,040 –> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: They have had four undefeated Septembers in the seven seasons. Now,

290
00:12:48,720 –> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: what am I missing if you attack OTAs? Because when

291
00:12:52,280 –> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 1: you attack OTAs, you hit training camp on a full sprint.

292
00:12:56,920 –> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: You’re not jogging to get going, it’s a full sprint.

293
00:13:00,240 –> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 2: And then the.

294
00:13:00,720 –> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs have crushed September sands twenty one. It’s the only

295
00:13:04,360 –> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: year that’s the outlier when they were one and two.

296
00:13:06,480 –> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: And let’s talk a little bit about what’s actually happening

297
00:13:08,760 –> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: in OTAs. So Coatried often explains this if you listen

298
00:13:12,360 –> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: to his press conferences. The way it works is they

299
00:13:14,640 –> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 3: are doing real play installs during OTAs and a lot

300
00:13:18,360 –> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 3: of it is retention. So this time of year, there’s

301
00:13:21,640 –> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 3: ninety players speed at full speed, yeah, walk through, not

302
00:13:24,880 –> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: holding your hand. There’s ninety players and ninety one players actually,

303
00:13:28,520 –> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 3: if you include the international player Pathway program player, it’s

304
00:13:31,559 –> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: on the roster. You have to narrow that down to

305
00:13:33,840 –> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: fifty three by late August, right, So how do you

306
00:13:37,559 –> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 3: do that? It’s of course watching the guys on the field,

307
00:13:39,640 –> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: but it’s also about retention. So Coatried will talk about

308
00:13:43,040 –> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 3: this all the time. On Day one of OTA’s or

309
00:13:45,840 –> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: Day two, you install some plays and then next week

310
00:13:48,880 –> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 3: you see who retained it. You’re not handholding. Hey we’re

311
00:13:51,840 –> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: going to do this. You know how to do that, right.

312
00:13:53,440 –> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: We talked about it last week, and some players they

313
00:13:55,559 –> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 3: retain it, some don’t. And the players that retain it,

314
00:13:58,240 –> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 3: oftentimes those are the guys that who are fighting for

315
00:14:00,920 –> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 3: roster spots will ultimately make the team. So the retention

316
00:14:04,320 –> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: is a big part of it because they’re doing all

317
00:14:05,720 –> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 3: these play installs during OTAs and then they have that

318
00:14:08,640 –> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: break that you were talking about earlier. They hit training

319
00:14:11,400 –> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 3: camp on day one. Hey we’re doing this. You remember this, right,

320
00:14:14,000 –> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: because we’re not going to talk about it. We’re going

321
00:14:15,679 –> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: to do it, and whoever retains it, those are the

322
00:14:17,800 –> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: players who make this team. So that’s a big part

323
00:14:20,080 –> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 3: of it. It’s also game planning for opponents, which I

324
00:14:23,000 –> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: think is so cool. Today’s Friday that we’re shooting this.

325
00:14:26,480 –> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: This is the final day of voluntary OTAs. Thursday yesterday

326
00:14:30,280 –> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: was an open practice that we could actually watch. It

327
00:14:32,640 –> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: was Raider Day. What does that mean? Well, there was

328
00:14:35,040 –> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 3: players out there who were kind of acting as scout

329
00:14:37,080 –> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 3: team players who had little pennies on that had numbers

330
00:14:40,480 –> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: of Raiders players, and the Chiefs were executing cards and.

331
00:14:44,520 –> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: Cards they’re going off Raider cards.

332
00:14:46,360 –> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 3: We were installing plays meant for the Raiders in June.

333
00:14:50,000 –> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 3: The day before that was Chargers Day, same idea. So

334
00:14:52,760 –> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: not only did the Chiefs take OTAs seriously, they attack it.

335
00:14:56,360 –> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: They install real plays, and they make sure they hit

336
00:14:58,760 –> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: training camp running. They are working on opponents. They’re working

337
00:15:01,960 –> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: on divisional opponents in June. And you can’t convince me

338
00:15:05,400 –> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: otherwise that when you get to these games, whether they

339
00:15:08,040 –> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: be in September or October, November, December, whenever, when you’re

340
00:15:11,760 –> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: playing the Broncos, Raiders or Chargers, that every once in

341
00:15:15,240 –> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: a while, something that you learned in June helps months

342
00:15:18,920 –> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 3: down the line. It’s like anything else that you’re preparing for. So, yeah,

343
00:15:22,640 –> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 3: the fact that the Chiefs attack these like they do

344
00:15:25,560 –> 00:15:27,479
Speaker 3: is one of the main reasons they’ve been so successful.

345
00:15:27,720 –> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: To your point, let’s say they’re playing the Raiders, it’s

346
00:15:31,040 –> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: well into the season. The Chargers is Week one in

347
00:15:33,280 –> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: South Paulo. But there will be reference back to Hey,

348
00:15:36,880 –> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: on June the tenth or whatever it had been June

349
00:15:39,400 –> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: the thirteenth, I guess whatever. Yeah, yesterday was June the thirteenth.

350
00:15:42,960 –> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: Remember on June the thirteenth we put this in when

351
00:15:45,640 –> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: we ran that this way, we talked about that.

352
00:15:47,800 –> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: Then they’ll go in August.

353
00:15:48,920 –> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: To fourteenth during camp we did they actually reference that. Yeah,

354
00:15:52,840 –> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: And so for a player, two things happen. For the

355
00:15:55,280 –> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: younger player, they’re going, oh, maybe I better pay attention

356
00:15:57,640 –> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: on next year on June tenth, and then oh, yeah,

357
00:16:00,720 –> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: I do remember that. And for the players that have

358
00:16:03,400 –> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: been around, they understand it and get it. And so

359
00:16:05,920 –> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: it’s an excellent point. Attendance is our first part of

360
00:16:09,040 –> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: this defending the Kingdom, and it’s been phenomenal. In fact,

361
00:16:14,000 –> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: as on the average of the OTA so far, there’s

362
00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: been ninety two percent attendance. There were two days where

363
00:16:23,640 –> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: the entire defense was in OTA camp. Basically that is

364
00:16:30,000 –> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: mind boggling. Every defensive player was here. And Chris Jones

365
00:16:35,160 –> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: is my first attendance MVP of OTAs, and he’s working

366
00:16:39,200 –> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: his butt off. Chris Jones is working at OTAs, and

367
00:16:43,400 –> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: I wish the rest of the league would take notice,

368
00:16:46,600 –> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: because how do the Chiefs, how are they nineteen and

369
00:16:48,960 –> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: four in Septembers under Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Well,

370
00:16:53,880 –> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with Chris Jones

371
00:16:55,680 –> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: working his tail off on the defensive line.

372
00:16:58,000 –> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: It’s blown me away.

373
00:16:59,160 –> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: Remember he held out in twenty three and missed all

374
00:17:02,720 –> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: this and the Chiefs lost their first game.

375
00:17:05,200 –> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, figure this out.

376
00:17:07,560 –> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 3: So I think what it shows from everybody, guys like

377
00:17:11,960 –> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: Chris and Patrick Mahomes all the way down to players

378
00:17:14,760 –> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: fighting for a roster spot. It shows buy in and

379
00:17:17,960 –> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 3: it shows respect for coach Reid and for this program

380
00:17:20,880 –> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 3: because it’s it would be really easy to be like

381
00:17:23,920 –> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: or professionals, or in the case of Chris, like I’m

382
00:17:26,320 –> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 3: a future Hall of Famer who’s won Super Bowls. I

383
00:17:28,640 –> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: don’t need to be going full speed in June. I

384
00:17:31,280 –> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: don’t need to do that. But he’s here for a

385
00:17:33,960 –> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 3: couple of reasons, to make himself better, but also to

386
00:17:36,880 –> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: lay an example for all the players that are also here,

387
00:17:40,320 –> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 3: right the younger players, the players that haven’t maybe necessarily

388
00:17:44,400 –> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 3: established themselves yet or are fighting for a roster spot.

389
00:17:47,240 –> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 3: We say this like every single week on DTK. But

390
00:17:49,240 –> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 3: when you see Chris Jones attacking a drill as hard

391
00:17:52,440 –> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 3: as he can in June and playing like he’s trying

392
00:17:55,440 –> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 3: to make the team, if you’re another player who doesn’t

393
00:17:58,000 –> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 3: have a roster spot secured, Well you do that in

394
00:18:01,240 –> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: more some right. So it just shows great buy in,

395
00:18:04,680 –> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 3: I think. And I just love the attitude out there.

396
00:18:07,520 –> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: You know, it’s the players are always going to attack

397
00:18:10,720 –> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 3: every single year and every single summer. That’s the culture

398
00:18:13,359 –> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: that coach Read has built here. But I also believe

399
00:18:15,359 –> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: for the guys that were around for last season, when

400
00:18:17,800 –> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 3: you come off a loss in the super Bowl and

401
00:18:19,720 –> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: off a season that was otherwise incredibly successful, it’s just

402
00:18:22,880 –> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: human nature that you want to get right back out there.

403
00:18:25,440 –> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 3: And you felt that vibe, right, You felt that, like

404
00:18:28,720 –> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 3: it’s just a certinategy.

405
00:18:29,840 –> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 1: There’s about a thirty day there’s a thirty to forty

406
00:18:32,960 –> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: day period. You deal with it, right, You’re likeugh. But

407
00:18:37,520 –> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: then and the fact that it has been such a

408
00:18:40,640 –> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: let’s go, go go.

409
00:18:42,320 –> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: It mouthwashes that quickly. Yeah, Like there’s zero hangover from

410
00:18:46,280 –> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 2: the from the super Bowl, And I think that’s your point.

411
00:18:48,240 –> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it’s not a hangover. It’s more like a like

412
00:18:50,720 –> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 3: I’m ready to go, you know, like I’m fired up,

413
00:18:53,400 –> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 3: I’m ready to go. I don’t want to be on

414
00:18:55,880 –> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: vacation right now. I don’t want to be taking a

415
00:18:58,520 –> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 3: break from football. I want to get back out there

416
00:19:00,440 –> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 3: because I want to be on top of the mountaintop again,

417
00:19:03,240 –> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: you know. And that’s the attitude that I’ve picked up on.

418
00:19:06,840 –> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: I’m not worried about a hangover with this team at all.

419
00:19:09,080 –> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: Like I don’t ever worry about that with our guys.

420
00:19:11,320 –> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: To be honest, if you were, then just the OTAs

421
00:19:15,680 –> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: will tell you that there’s no hangover.

422
00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that goes back to your attitude.

423
00:19:19,600 –> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: Now, what was interesting too, I think of the so

424
00:19:21,440 –> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: I’ve looked at the new guys coming in, like Elijah

425
00:19:23,840 –> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: Mitchell who’s rotated in a running back, and then Christian Fulton,

426
00:19:28,400 –> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: and I’ve talked to them after they’re like, oh my gosh,

427
00:19:31,280 –> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: like you guys weren’t kidding Like this feels like kind

428
00:19:33,720 –> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: of training camp ish. Well, but they know and they

429
00:19:37,040 –> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: but they’ve embraced it. It’s not like they’re going, hey, man,

430
00:19:39,840 –> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: I need to have like two weeks off of this.

431
00:19:41,680 –> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 2: What am I doing?

432
00:19:42,800 –> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 1: And then the younger guys, and we’ve talked about that

433
00:19:45,520 –> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: and they were kind of jumping around here, but being

434
00:19:47,680 –> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. The attitude of the younger guys has

435
00:19:51,000 –> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: been superlative.

436
00:19:52,280 –> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, And.

437
00:19:53,280 –> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: To your point about and we talked about Chris Jones

438
00:19:55,320 –> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: being here. Then you see George Carloft, as he’s probably

439
00:19:57,960 –> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: the defensive MVP of OTA’s going on hundre miles an hour.

440
00:20:01,320 –> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: If you’re a I don’t know because I izard and

441
00:20:03,680 –> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: you’re an undrafted free agent or you’re drafted like Ashton

442
00:20:06,520 –> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: Jelatti or Omar Norman Lot, you’re going, Okay, this is

443
00:20:11,119 –> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: the way we do things here. Because he’s going one

444
00:20:13,520 –> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour and he’s been in the league

445
00:20:15,119 –> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: eight years so and he’s probably going to be in

446
00:20:17,920 –> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and then I guess I better

447
00:20:19,920 –> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 1: try to go one hundred miles an hour. And so

448
00:20:22,480 –> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: you see that happen and it’s not spoken, but it’s felt.

449
00:20:26,560 –> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: And that’s again goes back to why this team wins.

450
00:20:29,280 –> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: And what’s so cool about that. I think about some

451
00:20:31,320 –> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 3: of the players that are setting the tone in this camp.

452
00:20:33,640 –> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 3: It’s guys like Trent McDuffie and Leo’schanel and George carloftis right,

453
00:20:37,560 –> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: guys that not too long ago were rookies figuring this

454
00:20:40,160 –> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 3: all out. And what I think is cool about our

455
00:20:42,280 –> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: culture here and how it’s so like ingrained in this building,

456
00:20:46,240 –> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 3: in this locker room, is that there’s going to come

457
00:20:48,280 –> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 3: a time when a lot of our superstars are retired

458
00:20:52,080 –> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: and we’re counting on Ashton Jelatti and Omar Norman lot

459
00:20:55,520 –> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: hopefully and guys like Glen Royal’s hopefully down the road,

460
00:20:59,440 –> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: and you and I might be doing a podcast in

461
00:21:01,520 –> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: five years and we’re talking about how, like, hey, Ashton

462
00:21:03,520 –> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: Jelatti is setting a tone today. But that’s a cool thing,

463
00:21:06,119 –> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: isn’t that Like that’s a culture thing. Like you you

464
00:21:08,280 –> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: get here and yeah, right away you’re like, oh, okay,

465
00:21:11,320 –> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 3: this is how we do things. And they’ll then be

466
00:21:14,240 –> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 3: expected to set that tone soon enough, and we’re seeing

467
00:21:17,000 –> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 3: that with the twenty twenty two class for sure.

468
00:21:19,760 –> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

469
00:21:20,440 –> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: So let’s go through your defensive guys that you have

470
00:21:23,400 –> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: been like, oh man, this has been a really good

471
00:21:25,960 –> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: ota for them. And again we put a precursor on

472
00:21:28,520 –> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: this that fans can go get a little too excited.

473
00:21:33,440 –> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: OTAs are important. It’s it’s summer school, that’s real, but

474
00:21:38,200 –> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: it’s also don’t just so okay, this is going to

475
00:21:41,040 –> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: guarantee a great season. It’s not necessarily just sets you

476
00:21:44,640 –> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: up to hit camp on a full sprint to hit

477
00:21:47,000 –> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: September in a full sprint to have a great season. Okay,

478
00:21:49,359 –> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: it’s just just sequential here, but there are some guys

479
00:21:51,720 –> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 1: that have caught my attention. Let’s start defensively, because we

480
00:21:54,040 –> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: always start offensively. Let’s start on defense. Who’s caught your

481
00:21:57,240 –> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: attention in OTAs?

482
00:21:58,320 –> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 3: Can I add one thing to what you were just saying?

483
00:22:00,840 –> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 3: It’s preparation right and all liken it to what you

484
00:22:04,400 –> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 3: do because what people don’t see is how much you prepare.

485
00:22:07,800 –> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: You prepare more than anyone I have ever met for

486
00:22:09,920 –> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: every broadcast, and that preparation people don’t see it, but

487
00:22:15,840 –> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 3: it helps you do what you do. OTA is are

488
00:22:18,359 –> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 3: preparation right, And just because you prepare a lot doesn’t

489
00:22:21,560 –> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: mean that you’ll have a great broadcast. You will because

490
00:22:23,560 –> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 3: you’re you, But that preparation allows you to go out

491
00:22:26,160 –> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: there and do great. Same thing with the team. This

492
00:22:28,200 –> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 3: is preparation right now. And some teams don’t choose to

493
00:22:30,760 –> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: prepare this time of year. They just don’t. We’ll prepare

494
00:22:33,280 –> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: later on during training camp or during the preseason. The

495
00:22:36,119 –> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 3: Chiefs they take this time to prepare. If you have

496
00:22:38,440 –> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: a chance to study for a test and you want

497
00:22:41,280 –> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 3: to do great on that test. You study for it

498
00:22:43,359 –> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 3: every single chance that you get. That’s what the Chiefs

499
00:22:45,160 –> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: are doing right now. All right, a few defensive players

500
00:22:48,280 –> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 3: that have stood out to me, So we mentioned George Carloftis.

501
00:22:51,920 –> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, he’s been great. He’s made like standout plays

502
00:22:54,600 –> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 3: every practice that we’ve been able to watch. On Thursday,

503
00:22:57,800 –> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: he knocked down a pass at the line of scrimmage.

504
00:22:59,640 –> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 3: We love like when our guys are like swat team

505
00:23:01,760 –> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 3: right Like, he was awesome. So he just has like

506
00:23:04,359 –> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 3: an energy to him. He’s going to have a great year.

507
00:23:06,960 –> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 3: I think he just has looked great every single practice

508
00:23:09,320 –> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 3: that we’ve been able to watch. Omar Norman Lot, this

509
00:23:12,240 –> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: was hilarious. So the more you can do right. Omar

510
00:23:15,040 –> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: Norman Lot is primarily going to be a pass rushing

511
00:23:17,800 –> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: three tech defensive tackle for US, but he dropped into

512
00:23:20,640 –> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: coverage during one eleven on eleven drill and made a

513
00:23:24,320 –> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 3: play on the ball and deflected the pass and he

514
00:23:26,680 –> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: was fired up about it. So he’s just an athletic

515
00:23:28,880 –> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 3: player that is going to help this team win. Jaden

516
00:23:32,000 –> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: Hicks keeps standing out to me. So this season is

517
00:23:35,280 –> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 3: a big opportunity for Jaden because Justin Reed is no

518
00:23:38,119 –> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: longer in town. So Jaden’s going to play a whole lot.

519
00:23:40,600 –> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 3: He stood out to us last year in his limited

520
00:23:42,760 –> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: playing time, but he’s going to play a lot this season,

521
00:23:45,080 –> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: and he’s making the most of his opportunity. In OTAs

522
00:23:48,400 –> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 3: for sure, he made a great play. I think it

523
00:23:51,280 –> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 3: was the first play of seven on seven yesterday, great

524
00:23:54,480 –> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 3: play deep down the sideline went up and forced an incompletion.

525
00:23:59,119 –> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 3: So Jaden Hicks looking really good. And then here’s a

526
00:24:01,840 –> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: player who’s kind of under the radar that might be

527
00:24:04,160 –> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: worth watching during training camp. It’s Brandon George. He’s an

528
00:24:07,560 –> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 3: undrafted free agent out of pitt think about like the

529
00:24:11,160 –> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: Swaezy Bosman Jack Cochran kind of mold these players that

530
00:24:14,400 –> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: are undrafted free agents, but they get an opportunity and

531
00:24:16,680 –> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 3: they run with it. Brandon George has a chance to

532
00:24:18,960 –> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 3: be that guy just because he looked great. He has

533
00:24:22,240 –> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: some crazy measurables. I wrote about him when we first

534
00:24:25,280 –> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: signed him. He had like a crazy vertical jump that

535
00:24:28,119 –> 00:24:29,919
Speaker 3: if he was at the Combine would have been like

536
00:24:29,960 –> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 3: among the top players, top linebackers at the combine. So

537
00:24:33,840 –> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 3: super athletic, and he showed off that athleticism yesterday with

538
00:24:37,280 –> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: an interception over the middle like a leaping pick just

539
00:24:40,119 –> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 3: snatched it out of the sky. So Brandon George is

540
00:24:42,920 –> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 3: a player to watch as well for sure, Like as

541
00:24:45,480 –> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 3: a special teamer.

542
00:24:46,480 –> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was hub of the wheel kind of Nick

543
00:24:48,440 –> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: boltin Ish at Pitt like he was a big part

544
00:24:50,560 –> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 1: of that program both on and off the field. And

545
00:24:52,960 –> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: he’s interesting my defenders and I’m going to include Hicks,

546
00:24:56,080 –> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 1: and not just Hicks from a physical standpoint, but from

547
00:24:58,520 –> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 1: a mental standpoint. We noticed last Yearne he embraced it

548
00:25:01,920 –> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: to be personal protector on punt is a big deal

549
00:25:05,240 –> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 1: and so he got thrust into that role, which tells

550
00:25:07,400 –> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: you Dave toab trusted him because he’s calling out protections

551
00:25:11,640 –> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: for everybody. He has to know the defensive front on

552
00:25:14,520 –> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: a punt on them, on punt returner, pump block, and

553
00:25:17,880 –> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: he’s if that personal protector blows the call, then you’re

554
00:25:22,040 –> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: going to have disaster. So not only that, but that

555
00:25:24,800 –> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: led him into this year and you see him mentally

556
00:25:28,520 –> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: because think of the Justin Reid role over the past

557
00:25:31,000 –> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: couple of years. Hicks is just on a fast track

558
00:25:33,560 –> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: I think to become a real impact player who could

559
00:25:37,280 –> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: be a player of honor throughout the league coming up.

560
00:25:40,200 –> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: Another one is Nazi Johnson. I think Nazi Johnson has

561
00:25:43,440 –> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: had an outstanding series of OTAs here and he’s rotated

562
00:25:47,640 –> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: in a different spots. Hey, he had a pick with

563
00:25:51,440 –> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: the mits on, didn’t he was the interception They put

564
00:25:54,240 –> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: mits on so they won’t grab DPI. Right, So it’s

565
00:25:58,240 –> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: a Spags Dave Merritt thing.

566
00:26:00,080 –> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 3: You’re a training thing.

567
00:26:01,359 –> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you’re.

568
00:26:03,000 –> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: It’s gonna what you’re gonna climb a rope and pe

569
00:26:05,760 –> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: class with mits arm.

570
00:26:06,680 –> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 2: That’s what it feels like.

571
00:26:07,760 –> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: But he had he intercepted the ball where he had

572
00:26:10,600 –> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: no hands.

573
00:26:11,400 –> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 3: Just with his forearms. It was awesome.

574
00:26:13,359 –> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he’s you watch his technique and you watch

575
00:26:17,359 –> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: what he’s been able to do uh as far his

576
00:26:20,680 –> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: footwork and Nazy Johnson’s taken a jump up uh in

577
00:26:24,680 –> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: my opinion. But again, don’t go crazy with this. Just

578
00:26:28,440 –> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: understand that if you see him in Saint Joseph having

579
00:26:31,200 –> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: an outstanding day at camp, you knew what he was

580
00:26:34,160 –> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: doing in May and June on the defensive side.

581
00:26:37,240 –> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 3: And he’s healthy, is the thing. I understand. He was

582
00:26:40,880 –> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: technically healthy last year, but when you’re that first year

583
00:26:45,119 –> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 3: off of an ACL, it’s really hard and and anyone

584
00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: that’s had an ACL injury will tell you that. Like,

585
00:26:50,400 –> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 3: he is a full two years removed from that ACL

586
00:26:52,960 –> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: injury now and he’s healthy and he’s confident. So I’m

587
00:26:55,840 –> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: fired up for nausey too.

588
00:26:57,040 –> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 2: Really good point.

589
00:26:57,840 –> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: You remember who kind of gave us the window that

590
00:26:59,720 –> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: was because Turk goes. Really now I’m feeling like I’m

591
00:27:03,160 –> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: healthy again. When Turk was taken off, it’s led to

592
00:27:05,640 –> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: a big contract for him. But that’s a really good

593
00:27:08,359 –> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: point in that regard. I’m gonna put an Ashton Jalatti

594
00:27:10,680 –> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: in here again, don’t get ahead of ourselves, but Ashton

595
00:27:14,119 –> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: Jalotti has got a lot to his game. This was

596
00:27:17,280 –> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: more than him just being kind of an edge rush

597
00:27:19,080 –> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: er fill in guy. He has the ability to drop.

598
00:27:24,280 –> 00:27:26,640
Speaker 1: I asked him if Louisville did they have you turn

599
00:27:26,680 –> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: your hips and drop because now not really, I’m trying

600
00:27:28,680 –> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 1: to learn it, but there’s a natural you see his

601
00:27:30,760 –> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: natural reaction.

602
00:27:31,840 –> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: So OTAs aren’t pads. I really can’t tell. It’s the

603
00:27:34,440 –> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 2: run around. In short, it’s no.

604
00:27:36,000 –> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: There are things that you can see, whether it’s footwork

605
00:27:38,119 –> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: or understanding or you know, capturing it mentally. But you

606
00:27:42,200 –> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: also see the skill of an Ashton Jalatti who can

607
00:27:45,280 –> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: do a lot of things for Spags in being a

608
00:27:48,119 –> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: rotational player. With the defensive front that has a chance

609
00:27:50,520 –> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: to be outstanding. You’re looking at fourteen defensive players, but

610
00:27:54,880 –> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: I’m telling you it’s gonna be interesting in camp. But

611
00:27:58,400 –> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: the mix and match coming the defensive front that Spags

612
00:28:01,760 –> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 1: has now probably the best he’s ever had, in my opinion,

613
00:28:04,800 –> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: and we’ve seen it, no ty.

614
00:28:06,200 –> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, looking at it here in June. This defensive line,

615
00:28:08,880 –> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 3: I think is going to be really talented, and there’s

616
00:28:11,160 –> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 3: going to be some good players that don’t make the

617
00:28:12,720 –> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 3: team just because of all the talent that we have.

618
00:28:14,680 –> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: And that’s a good problem to have.

619
00:28:16,359 –> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: This speech mad at us now because everybod’s going to

620
00:28:18,119 –> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: be watching our d line, all right, they do anyway,

621
00:28:21,280 –> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: Let’s go to the offensive side.

622
00:28:22,480 –> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 2: Who’s impressed here?

623
00:28:23,560 –> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah? So offensive side. We mentioned Rashi earlier. Rashid just

624
00:28:27,840 –> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 3: keeps standing out every single day. I talked about it

625
00:28:30,160 –> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 3: last week, but it was reasonable to be curious when

626
00:28:33,920 –> 00:28:35,639
Speaker 3: he could get back on the field and actually do

627
00:28:35,720 –> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 3: stuff because he got hurt in late September. But it

628
00:28:39,200 –> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: sounds like his surgery and rehab went great. I mean,

629
00:28:42,400 –> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 3: we were kind of following along and we were extremely

630
00:28:46,120 –> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: cautiously optimistic about his outlook, and we’re seeing it now

631
00:28:50,040 –> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: on the field. He’s just looked awesome. He looks like

632
00:28:52,360 –> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: he did this time last year when he would have

633
00:28:54,880 –> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 3: been on track for a monster season. Thursday, specifically, he

634
00:28:58,880 –> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: caught five passes during seven on seven and eleven on eleven,

635
00:29:02,560 –> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: and there’s a lot of players mixing in during these periods.

636
00:29:05,640 –> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 3: To have five catches means that you’re getting a lot

637
00:29:07,680 –> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: of targets, that you’re getting open, and that you’re making

638
00:29:10,360 –> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: the most of those targets. So Rashid continues to look

639
00:29:13,080 –> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 3: explosive and fast and physical and like he’s going to

640
00:29:16,320 –> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 3: have a great year. So I’m very hopeful for Rashid

641
00:29:19,480 –> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: and your guy, Brichhard Smith made one of the plays

642
00:29:21,960 –> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: of the day. It was really kind of a two

643
00:29:23,600 –> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 3: parter where it was a great throw by Patrick Mahomes

644
00:29:26,200 –> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: and a great catch by Brashard deep down the sideline.

645
00:29:29,640 –> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: This is a player that if you’ve been following along

646
00:29:31,960 –> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 3: as a former wide receiver that made the move to

647
00:29:34,160 –> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: running back his final year at SMU, and he looks

648
00:29:37,080 –> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 3: like a receiver with how he attacks the ball. How

649
00:29:39,920 –> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: he runs routes and how he goes down the sideline.

650
00:29:42,040 –> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: So Brishard Smith is going to help us in the

651
00:29:44,440 –> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 3: passing game for sure. It was just a really really

652
00:29:47,040 –> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: impressive play during seven on seven. A lot of red

653
00:29:50,160 –> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 3: zone stuff yesterday which was fun to watch. They’ll often

654
00:29:53,560 –> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 3: do like these things called special categories where they’re executing

655
00:29:57,640 –> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: a scenario. Essentially, it’s all kinds of stuff. And when

656
00:30:00,720 –> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 3: Mahomes after games says, hey, we practice this, he’s not lying.

657
00:30:03,920 –> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: They actually practiced these situations and a lot of times

658
00:30:07,480 –> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 3: we don’t know what the situation is, we have to

659
00:30:09,400 –> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 3: kind of infer it. So what I think the situation

660
00:30:12,000 –> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 3: was on Thursday was a red zone situation where there’s

661
00:30:16,040 –> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: twenty seconds on a running clock and you have to

662
00:30:18,000 –> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: get two snaps off, Like imagine it. You’re at the

663
00:30:21,000 –> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: fifteen and Mahomes it’s Pacheco for like an eight yard game. Well,

664
00:30:24,520 –> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 3: you got to get up on the ball because you

665
00:30:25,920 –> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 3: don’t have any timeout, so you can’t spike it. Maybe

666
00:30:27,760 –> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 3: it’s fourth down, I don’t know, and you have to

667
00:30:29,760 –> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 3: try to get it in the end zone and uh

668
00:30:32,240 –> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: Pachecko and Noah Gray both caught touchdowns during that situation.

669
00:30:35,480 –> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: So that was a fun situation to watch.

670
00:30:37,600 –> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it’s again it’s why they’re so good in

671
00:30:41,120 –> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: those situations as so they wrap them even in the summertime.

672
00:30:44,680 –> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: This is going to sound really stupid, but Patrick Mahomes

673
00:30:48,800 –> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: has had phenomenal OTAs he was on fire.

674
00:30:53,320 –> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: He’s on fire.

675
00:30:55,120 –> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 3: He’s awesome.

676
00:30:55,760 –> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: And you know who else has been impressive as Gardner minshew, Yeah, agreed.

677
00:31:00,000 –> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: Irony of him. Well, he was, you know, repping the

678
00:31:03,680 –> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: Raiders stuff.

679
00:31:04,480 –> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: He was the Raiders scout team quarterback. It’s like, this

680
00:31:06,800 –> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 3: guy knows it. He’s perfect.

681
00:31:10,400 –> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: It’s yeah, it’s you know, it’s bringing Halliburton to come

682
00:31:15,520 –> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: in to run the uh the Pacers scout team offense

683
00:31:19,120 –> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: for the opponent. Yeah, with the thunder in practice. Okay,

684
00:31:22,880 –> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: that Haliburton. But so it’s kind of funny. But Mahomes

685
00:31:26,880 –> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: has been remarkable and I know that’s no but I’m

686
00:31:30,560 –> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: telling you another level and the explosiveness, the potential of explosiveness.

687
00:31:34,600 –> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: Don’t go crazy with this, please, just we’ve seen the

688
00:31:37,760 –> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: potential this team being more explosive. I’m really interested in

689
00:31:41,520 –> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: the running back room. The offensive line. Part of our

690
00:31:44,720 –> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: discussion here is we talked about attendance, attitude, and aos

691
00:31:48,320 –> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule, the offensive lines ahead of schedule, Kingsley

692
00:31:51,560 –> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: Suamatia Simmons is getting more reps than I thought we

693
00:31:54,720 –> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: would see. Don’t go crazy with it, just is there. Uh.

694
00:31:58,760 –> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: And then Mike Calliendo has made the jump up. At

695
00:32:01,640 –> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: the very least, if Mike Kellyando becomes the new Nick Allegretti,

696
00:32:05,520 –> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: which he’s looking like he could be, that’s a big

697
00:32:09,080 –> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: deal for this team. Whether they go and tackle over

698
00:32:11,360 –> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: tackle snaps during the regular season, which our division is

699
00:32:14,440 –> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: now doing with regularity. Teams are just putting they’re going

700
00:32:17,720 –> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: six million offensive line in our division and that’s what

701
00:32:19,840 –> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: they’re running. That’ll be in a base offense for them. Well,

702
00:32:23,000 –> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: we could maybe do the same. But if Kelly Endo

703
00:32:25,160 –> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: has got to increase there, but the offensive line is

704
00:32:29,440 –> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: just ahead of schedule, I would say, now there’s work

705
00:32:31,680 –> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: to go, lots of work to do. But on June,

706
00:32:34,640 –> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: the middle of June, this team and way ahead in

707
00:32:38,600 –> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: all phases. But they’re all o lines, way ahead where

708
00:32:41,000 –> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: I thought it would be mid June. All Right, Finally,

709
00:32:42,760 –> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: special teams. I’m really excited about special teams. And I’m

710
00:32:45,880 –> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: gonna start with Breshard Smith. Yeah, okay, Breshard Smith, we

711
00:32:50,120 –> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: have seen it. There’s going to be some potential. And

712
00:32:52,360 –> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: go back and look at his SMU video. There’s a

713
00:32:56,040 –> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: little Tyreek kill punt return in him. He can make

714
00:32:59,520 –> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 1: a wrecking issue and make a move where he’s not

715
00:33:01,960 –> 00:33:04,719
Speaker 1: even thinking about it and all of a sudden he’s

716
00:33:05,040 –> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: nearly gone before you’re like, what’s happening here? Like, so

717
00:33:08,680 –> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 1: there’s a lot of instinct to his game. The other

718
00:33:11,200 –> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: one would be potentially exavier worthy. Now I’m gonna I’m

719
00:33:15,200 –> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: gonna ask you quest questions here. The last kickoff return

720
00:33:18,560 –> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: for a touchdown.

721
00:33:20,000 –> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 2: In Chief’s history, it was probably Tyreek, right.

722
00:33:25,160 –> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: It actually was a Byron Pringle against Denver one hundred.

723
00:33:28,680 –> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: And two yards. Oh yeah, in the snow, right in

724
00:33:30,840 –> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: the snow, Yeah.

725
00:33:31,640 –> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: In one of those weird October snowstorms in Denver, October

726
00:33:35,160 –> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty ten. But I forgot about that. We’re

727
00:33:38,800 –> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: talking a long time ago. That’s you know, I’m sorry

728
00:33:42,080 –> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: ten in.

729
00:33:44,160 –> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 3: Its twenty it was twenty one, twenty two.

730
00:33:47,120 –> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: It was twenty twenty twenty COVID year, I think, yeah, yeah,

731
00:33:51,280 –> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: it was yeah, all right.

732
00:33:52,800 –> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 3: Last that’s when Dan Swarnson had it picked six tip six.

733
00:33:55,360 –> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I’m doing the game in the studio, all right,

734
00:33:58,640 –> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: no time I remember.

735
00:34:00,080 –> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: It wasn’t like it was five years ago.

736
00:34:01,440 –> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: Less punt return for a touchdown?

737
00:34:03,160 –> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 3: Punt return, Okay, that was probably Tyreek. If it wasn’t,

738
00:34:05,520 –> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: let me guess it wasn’t Tyreek. Okay, least punt return

739
00:34:08,520 –> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 3: for a touchdown?

740
00:34:10,040 –> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 2: Hint. I did it in studio.

741
00:34:11,840 –> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 3: So it’s twenty twenty. Okay, Oh man, um punt return

742
00:34:19,960 –> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 3: for a touchdown. Someone’s in their car right now, just

743
00:34:22,160 –> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 3: screaming the ag. I don’t know who was it.

744
00:34:26,040 –> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 2: Mcole Hardman sixty seven yards.

745
00:34:27,840 –> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 3: It’s a dolphiny Dolphins.

746
00:34:29,200 –> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 2: I knew that. But here’s the point. That’s twenty twenty, Yeah,

747
00:34:32,760 –> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 2: long time ago.

748
00:34:33,480 –> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: We think what’s happened in twenty one, twenty two, twenty three,

749
00:34:35,760 –> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: twenty four and no pun or kick returns for touchdowns.

750
00:34:39,719 –> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: I’m telling you on June mid June, I don’t want

751
00:34:41,800 –> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: to get ahead of myself. On twenty twenty five. You

752
00:34:44,600 –> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: got a way more chance of that happening this year

753
00:34:47,200 –> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: because of the cats that will be touching the football

754
00:34:49,520 –> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: and throwing Nico Ramihio in.

755
00:34:50,880 –> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 3: This Yeah, because Nico almost had one last year against Pittsburgh.

756
00:34:53,600 –> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, and set the tone for that game, yeah,

757
00:34:55,719 –> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 1: on Christmas. And so the fact that that you can

758
00:34:59,719 –> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: be more explosive in the special team’s return game is

759
00:35:02,800 –> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: something the Chiefs haven’t had in a while. So it’s

760
00:35:05,680 –> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: like the Dante Hall is way underrated. What he did

761
00:35:08,000 –> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: for those early two thousand offensive teams I’ve seen was

762
00:35:10,160 –> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: so good offensive league. They got the ball to forty

763
00:35:12,520 –> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: because he’s returning kicks or he goes the distance, and

764
00:35:16,000 –> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: then oh, does the offense get credit for that seven? No,

765
00:35:18,600 –> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: you have a chance with Burshard Smith, xavier’ Worthy, Niko Remihio,

766
00:35:22,200 –> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: it’s the most explosive group collectively I’ve seen since the

767
00:35:25,840 –> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: early days of Tyrek.

768
00:35:26,800 –> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

769
00:35:27,239 –> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 3: Now I’m into that as well, especially with the rule

770
00:35:29,800 –> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 3: change with kickoffs. Like we talked about it a lot

771
00:35:32,360 –> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 3: last year, it didn’t really come to fruition because I

772
00:35:35,200 –> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 3: think teams are comfortable just kicking touchbacks and letting offenses

773
00:35:39,000 –> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 3: start at the thirty But now it’s the thirty five

774
00:35:41,400 –> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 3: and at least Coach Toe thinks that we’re going to

775
00:35:43,600 –> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 3: see like an enormous increase in kickoffs that are actually

776
00:35:47,800 –> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 3: returned on both sides. I anticipate us doing a lot

777
00:35:50,360 –> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 3: of that. And if a guy like Burshard Smith is

778
00:35:52,640 –> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 3: back there with not just straight line speed, but like

779
00:35:55,200 –> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 3: dynamic functional speed where he can cut and make a

780
00:35:58,320 –> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 3: guy miss and then be off to the races, yeah,

781
00:36:02,160 –> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 3: you could have some big plays on kickoff and also

782
00:36:04,719 –> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: on punt return. So I’m fired up about that. We

783
00:36:07,640 –> 00:36:09,760
Speaker 3: have some guys that can do it, like Noel Williams

784
00:36:09,760 –> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: could do it as well, like he was a great

785
00:36:12,640 –> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 3: kick returner at Cal And yeah, Xavier Worthy coach Tobe

786
00:36:16,280 –> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 3: described him as the best punt returner in the league

787
00:36:18,360 –> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 3: that no one is talking about because think of this.

788
00:36:20,520 –> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: He would have done it last year.

789
00:36:21,600 –> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 3: He would have done it, and he could do it

790
00:36:23,000 –> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 3: this year because the reason he didn’t do it last

791
00:36:25,239 –> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 3: year is because we lost all of our receivers and

792
00:36:27,600 –> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 3: he had to only play offense. But if She and

793
00:36:30,360 –> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 3: Hollywood are healthy, Xavier is still obviously going to play

794
00:36:33,400 –> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 3: a lot on offense, but his snaps won’t be as

795
00:36:35,400 –> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 3: high because he’s not the only guy out there for you.

796
00:36:38,000 –> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, you can put him occasionally on punt return

797
00:36:40,560 –> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: and just go flip on his tape at Texas and

798
00:36:42,960 –> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 3: see what he can do as a punt returner. So

799
00:36:45,320 –> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 3: I’m with you. I’m just hoping we can stay healthy

800
00:36:47,440 –> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 3: throughout the year because we have some great players that

801
00:36:49,920 –> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 3: could do a lot of things for us.

802
00:36:51,120 –> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 1: I think if your favorite team, well Kingdom Defenders, are

803
00:36:56,880 –> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: listening to this or watching them and listening to this,

804
00:36:59,600 –> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 1: just call your buddy whose favorite team is playing disc

805
00:37:02,520 –> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: golf during OTAs on the sand and I don’t know Cabo,

806
00:37:07,719 –> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: and then tell him your team has had awesome attendance,

807
00:37:11,960 –> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: awesome attitude, and is ahead of schedule in the OTAs.
