18
00:00:57,240 –> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs along with senior team reporter Matt McMullen. This
19
00:01:00,560 –> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom is going to be entitled Click and
20
00:01:03,720 –> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: Drag because the next two pieces of evaluation make a
21
00:01:08,040 –> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 1: folder for Roster construction, then click and drag the next
22
00:01:11,880 –> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: three day push, which we’re in right now, and drag
23
00:01:14,880 –> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: it over there, and then the first preseason game, drag
24
00:01:18,000 –> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: it over there too, because all of the evaluation, all
25
00:01:20,720 –> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: of that, all of this on Saturday night, all of
26
00:01:23,520 –> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: that all is part of trying to decide who the
27
00:01:25,880 –> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster is and the sixty nine man
28
00:01:29,160 –> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: group that concludes the sixteen man practice squad.
29
00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, the entire offseason is all about checkpoints, right, And
30
00:01:36,280 –> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: we’ve been talking about this since April when Phase one
31
00:01:39,520 –> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: of the off season training program began, and that was
32
00:01:42,160 –> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: just like weightlifting and team meeting stuff like that. Well,
33
00:01:45,400 –> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: we’re finally at the point where we’re we’re truly in
34
00:01:47,960 –> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: the dog days of camp right now. Today was day
35
00:01:50,280 –> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: twelve of training camp. We’ve lost track of the day.
36
00:01:52,920 –> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: Of the week. I have no idea what I think.
37
00:01:54,800 –> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: It’s Tuesday, Okay, it could be Wednesday.
38
00:01:56,840 –> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: I’ll take your word for it.
39
00:01:58,320 –> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: But this was also a practice six and pads so
40
00:02:01,400 –> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: far in camp and like you said, a couple more
41
00:02:03,280 –> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: on the horizon. But we play a game on Saturday,
42
00:02:05,840 –> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: and I know it’s just the preseason and not everyone
43
00:02:07,960 –> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: loves the preseason, but for the first time for a
44
00:02:10,440 –> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: lot of these players that are fighting to make this
45
00:02:12,440 –> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: roster that can go out there and put something on
46
00:02:14,600 –> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: tape against an actual opponent, not just their teammates out here.
47
00:02:17,680 –> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: And we all know that when you’re out there on
48
00:02:19,720 –> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: the field playing actual football in a game, it’s just
49
00:02:22,520 –> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: a little bit different. How do these players that are
50
00:02:24,520 –> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: fighting to make this roster respond to that environment, because
51
00:02:28,080 –> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: while yeah, the game doesn’t matter in the standings, they’re
52
00:02:30,480 –> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: playing against players on the other side on the Cardinals
53
00:02:32,720 –> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: who are trying to make that team. So while it’s
54
00:02:35,440 –> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: not that big of a deal, it also kind of
55
00:02:37,200 –> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: is because the intensity for these players that are fighting
56
00:02:40,040 –> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: to make a roster is as high as ever.
57
00:02:42,040 –> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: Remember asking coach before camp how much evaluation he goes
58
00:02:45,800 –> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: everything every practice, every play, every practice. That means every
59
00:02:49,400 –> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: play in these three days dog days, the third phase,
60
00:02:52,760 –> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: a third push we call it. And then every play
61
00:02:56,320 –> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: of the preseason game because we have seen it. We
62
00:02:58,440 –> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: have seen guys climbing preseason games or retreat in preseason games.
63
00:03:03,240 –> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: And then we’ve seen guys because people will go, oh,
64
00:03:05,800 –> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: I don’t want to is Pat Mahomes planning? Now I’m
65
00:03:07,680 –> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: going to tune out or I’m not gonna listen to this,
66
00:03:10,200 –> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: And yet there’ll be somebody on the field that’ll do
67
00:03:12,120 –> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: something in that game that we’ll see October, November, December
68
00:03:15,520 –> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: that helps win an AFC West time.
69
00:03:17,360 –> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: Sure, and that helps them separate because there’s players that
70
00:03:20,200 –> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: are out here in camp. We’ve seen that throughout the years.
71
00:03:22,680 –> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: Some players have great training camps and you get all
72
00:03:24,919 –> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: excited about them and they’re a guy that maybe you
73
00:03:26,880 –> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: didn’t know a whole lot about, and they’re going to
74
00:03:28,639 –> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: go out there and hopefully help this team because they
75
00:03:30,240 –> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: had a great camp, but the preseason starts and they
76
00:03:32,440 –> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: kind of disappear. And the opposite also happens, where a
77
00:03:35,200 –> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: player is having, you know, a good camp, but kind
78
00:03:37,280 –> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: of flying under the radar, but it really flashes in
79
00:03:39,360 –> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: the preseason and they use that as a springboard for
80
00:03:42,000 –> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: the rest of the preseason and the regular season. So
81
00:03:44,920 –> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: this happens every single year. We see players that we
82
00:03:47,120 –> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: didn’t know a whole lot about coming into camp that
83
00:03:49,320 –> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: end up making plays that help us win in the
84
00:03:51,800 –> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 2: very end. And there’s countless examples of this, particularly on
85
00:03:54,800 –> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: special teams. You might not hear their name during the game,
86
00:03:57,280 –> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: but they might make a great block or a tackle
87
00:03:59,240 –> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: that helps us win the game. And they earned their
88
00:04:01,840 –> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: role on this team in training camp in the preseason.
89
00:04:04,760 –> 00:04:07,119
Speaker 2: So it’s also football, and we’ve been talking about guys
90
00:04:07,240 –> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: running around in shorts for months now. We can watch
91
00:04:09,400 –> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: an actual football game even though it’s just the preseason
92
00:04:11,680 –> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: on Saturday.
93
00:04:12,680 –> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Okay, but we got to go around the world before
94
00:04:14,840 –> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: we dive into what you’re looking for Friday night, what
95
00:04:17,000 –> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: I’m looking for. But let me start. So the old
96
00:04:21,600 –> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: high school reunion. Right, My wife grew up in McPherson, Kansas.
97
00:04:25,000 –> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: She’s on their Wall of Fame, state champion softball and
98
00:04:30,520 –> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: track and great players.
99
00:04:31,880 –> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: What’s the mass basketball person?
100
00:04:33,200 –> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: The bull Pups. The bull Pups Okay, not the Bulldogs.
101
00:04:36,520 –> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: First in college the Bulldogs, but they’re the bull Pups. Okay.
102
00:04:39,839 –> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: So the only day of camp I missed was Sunday
103
00:04:41,800 –> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: because we’re going to go to our reunion four hours
104
00:04:44,080 –> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: away on three and a half on Saturday night. But
105
00:04:48,240 –> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: staunch Kingdom Defenders in Austin, Texas. From Austin, Texas, let’s
106
00:04:52,839 –> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: go in. Her class showed up. Shout out to Brett
107
00:04:57,560 –> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: and Bonnie Heidebrek She was jum she was a cheerleader
108
00:05:01,560 –> 00:05:04,119
Speaker 1: with my wife. Brett was part of the football team.
109
00:05:04,480 –> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: They are gigantic Kingdom Defender Chiefs fans. They have asserted
110
00:05:09,200 –> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: that this all started with them. Okay, because I remember
111
00:05:13,000 –> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: seeing them in Mexico City, and remember how the twenty
112
00:05:15,560 –> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: nineteen season was kind of teetering on the brink. Yeah,
113
00:05:18,120 –> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: right after the October that packet’s hurt and losing home games,
114
00:05:21,200 –> 00:05:24,119
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, then Mexico City changed everything.
115
00:05:24,160 –> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: We never lost again, one nine in a row.
116
00:05:25,960 –> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 2: I think, and this.
117
00:05:26,880 –> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: Couple, great, couple sharp people said we started it. I
118
00:05:30,680 –> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: thought you dont want to go ahead and keep that thought.
119
00:05:32,400 –> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: Listen, Yeah, you say that. You know the Chiefs win
120
00:05:35,440 –> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: for a thousand reasons. We’re not discounting what they did.
121
00:05:38,080 –> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: We need every single piece of this. There’s the reason
122
00:05:40,120 –> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: you and I are two of the most superstitious people
123
00:05:42,320 –> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: on the planet. Will did the exact same thing every
124
00:05:44,440 –> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: single time I buy into it. You have to don’t
125
00:05:47,279 –> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: change anything. Okay, That’s that sounds great.
126
00:05:49,480 –> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: Breton Bonnie Heidebrek. The reason the Chiefs have won three
127
00:05:52,440 –> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Championships and been two every AFC Championship game
128
00:05:56,480 –> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: since Pat oh No, this was out of twenty nineteen.
129
00:05:58,839 –> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: So still this six with pat.
130
00:06:00,720 –> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: When he did them to get over the hump, we do.
131
00:06:02,960 –> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the didn’t saying about Super Bowl fifty nine,
132
00:06:05,520 –> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: but they did take credit for that. All right. Anyway,
133
00:06:07,680 –> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: let’s go around the world. What do you got?
134
00:06:09,320 –> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: Eight today?
135
00:06:10,560 –> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Eight?
136
00:06:11,040 –> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight today?
137
00:06:12,120 –> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: So for Christian Fulton, let’s get him back on the field.
138
00:06:14,440 –> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 2: We’ll hopefully see Christian Fulton soon. Hopefully. Can’t wait to
139
00:06:17,120 –> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: see what he can do. Eight today. So I met
140
00:06:19,560 –> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: Troy from Richland, Iowa up here at camp. You’re familiar
141
00:06:22,640 –> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 2: with Richland, Iowa.
142
00:06:23,560 –> 00:06:25,119
Speaker 1: I’m not. Where’s Richland, Iowa?
143
00:06:25,160 –> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: Oh man, I didn’t look it up. I figured you’d know.
144
00:06:27,360 –> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: I don’t don’t. That’s all right, we’ll find Kingdom Defenders.
145
00:06:30,920 –> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: But he was right up here by our tents.
146
00:06:33,200 –> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: But you know what Iowa does. The smaller towns consolidate,
147
00:06:36,240 –> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: but they don’t call it like McMullan High School. They’ll
148
00:06:39,200 –> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: be like every town like I told you about Southeast
149
00:06:41,320 –> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: with rams and it should be rash, but it’ll be like, Okay,
150
00:06:44,880 –> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: this is Richland, and they go with let’s say Smith
151
00:06:47,520 –> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Center and Blue Valley Northwest and McPherson. It would be
152
00:06:50,279 –> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: R S C B V N M lower case C.
153
00:06:55,240 –> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: Like what high school is that? Rich? Anyway, Iowa, you
154
00:06:59,680 –> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: got that going for you.
155
00:07:00,480 –> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: We’ll do some research. Put shout out to you. Troy
156
00:07:03,080 –> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: met Daniil from Pawnee City, Nebraska. Yesterday up here at Camp.
157
00:07:08,440 –> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: The hometown of oh Man.
158
00:07:10,480 –> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 2: I don’t know. Larry the cable guy could have given
159
00:07:13,480 –> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: me a thousand guesses. I don’t think I would have guess.
160
00:07:15,720 –> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Larry the cable guy from Pawnee City, Nebraska, just north
161
00:07:18,440 –> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: of Burn, Cansas, Okay.
162
00:07:19,640 –> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: Well and Daniel and the Metaur whole family. They were awesome.
163
00:07:21,840 –> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: Drove all the way here, not to Neil Hunter. Not
164
00:07:25,000 –> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: to Neil Hunter. That’d be cool if Neil Hunter wanted
165
00:07:26,880 –> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: to show up. You want to play. Shout out to
166
00:07:32,160 –> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: Liz in Peterborough, England. Been a fan since they were eleven.
167
00:07:36,520 –> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: You’ll love this. They stumbled upon the Chiefs listening to
168
00:07:38,800 –> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: the American Forces Network.
169
00:07:40,360 –> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: I love it.
170
00:07:40,760 –> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: When they’re eleven years old, it was very difficult to
171
00:07:43,240 –> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: Uh to follow along back then. They were a rugby
172
00:07:45,640 –> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 2: fan and listening to this on the radio, decided this
173
00:07:48,120 –> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: is very different from rugby. But over time obviously games
174
00:07:51,440 –> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: started being streamed on the internet.
175
00:07:53,360 –> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: They can.
176
00:07:53,680 –> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: They have no issues now.
177
00:07:55,080 –> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: So you just gave me chills with that, though I
178
00:07:56,880 –> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: know we could around but Man Armed Forces Radio. Yeah,
179
00:08:00,240 –> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: so much for down through the years. Love it pretty cool,
180
00:08:03,320 –> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: good one.
181
00:08:03,560 –> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to you, Liz. All Right. You know
182
00:08:05,960 –> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: David David lived in Laos for a while, Lao or
183
00:08:09,120 –> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: however we want to go about it. Uh, this is
184
00:08:11,280 –> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: kind of cool. So I heard from him. He just
185
00:08:13,080 –> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: visited Sumatra, Indonesia.
186
00:08:15,880 –> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: That’s where he lives. That’s he just visited there, Okay,
187
00:08:18,960 –> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: and defender meeting and.
188
00:08:21,160 –> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 2: Well you like it because he was on a mission
189
00:08:23,600 –> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: trip there and he met some people that asked him
190
00:08:26,520 –> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: for a jersey from the best American football team. And
191
00:08:29,440 –> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 2: you know what he did, gave him a Chiefs jersey.
192
00:08:31,560 –> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: And now they are like locked in and they’re super
193
00:08:33,760 –> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 2: excited for the given Brazil. They’re going to watch it.
194
00:08:35,800 –> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: So I get it. So what jersey did they give him?
195
00:08:38,480 –> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: I’m assuming it was a Patrick Mahomes jersey. He didn’t
196
00:08:40,720 –> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 2: tell me, but James Winchester either way, I mean it’s
197
00:08:44,320 –> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: a Chief jersey, James Winchester. Don’t disparage James Winchester.
198
00:08:46,960 –> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: Has been how many?
199
00:08:48,000 –> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: How many playoff games has James Winchester been? He and
200
00:08:52,480 –> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 2: Kelsey I think for the most unbelievable. But David’s out
201
00:08:56,200 –> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 2: there doing the Lord’s work, spreading Chees’s kingdom.
202

Speaker 1: Whoa great first year. Yep, he comes back from Jacksonville.
206
00:09:09,559 –> 00:09:10,320

Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets a home game though that Monday night
208
00:09:12,360 –> 00:09:13,440

Speaker 1: their helmet on their stuff is Felix the Cat.
218
00:09:42,080 –> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: You know who would love that? As a kale in equipment?
219
00:09:44,240 –> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: He needs a Felix the cat helmet.
220
00:09:46,160 –> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we got to tell Cale about this.
221
00:09:48,880 –> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: You know what else is it? What’s big about Chase
222
00:09:51,440 –> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: and the Cats? What home of one of the better
223
00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: NFL players of tight end of all time? Tight end
224
00:09:57,320 –> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: Paul Kaufman really played for the Packers with Lynn Dickey.
225
00:10:00,679 –> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: They were both case staters. Paul played at Kase State,
226
00:10:03,520 –> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: was a monster there. And then he goes on played
227
00:10:05,840 –> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs for a while. Okay, and so Paul
228
00:10:07,800 –> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: Kaufman a great tight end, great human being, terrific family.
229
00:10:13,160 –> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: In fact, Chase and Carson Kaufman those are kids played
230
00:10:16,120 –> 00:10:18,280

00:10:32,920 –> 00:10:37,400

237
00:10:37,480 –> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: And you got me on that one.
238
00:10:38,800 –> 00:10:40,839

239
00:10:40,960 –> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: So’s to Josh where we should go. And then Larry
240
00:10:43,760 –> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: is in Delaware coming to the Raiders game in October.
241
00:10:47,080 –> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: You know, Larry, you might not realize the influence the
242
00:10:49,160 –> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: state of Delaware has on this team, but with Brett
243
00:10:51,160 –> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: Veach and Matt n Aggie, Delaware is represented well and
244
00:10:54,120 –> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: the Chiefs Kingdom.
245
00:10:55,040 –> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Blue Hens are very much here. And now
246
00:10:56,960 –> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: we’re in Delaware, Newark, Delaware.
247
00:10:59,360 –> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: Just the Delaware. I might have scribbled it down quickly,
248
00:11:01,360 –> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: and he did tell me I don’t know, but we
249
00:11:02,800 –> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: need more information from Larry. But anyway, Delaware. Never been
250
00:11:05,640 –> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: to Delaware, should check it out.
251
00:11:07,559 –> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: But you know, it’s one of the states I haven’t
252
00:11:08,880 –> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: been in. Dami and I were going through this, like,
253
00:11:10,360 –> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: how many states have you not been in? In Delaware
254
00:11:12,080 –> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: is one of them. Yeah, it’s like right there at Baltimore.
255
00:11:15,000 –> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: Zoom over and do it.
256
00:11:16,080 –> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: Check it out some more of these days. So anyway,
257
00:11:17,720 –> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 2: it’s all I got for today. Blue Hens Go Blue Hens. Okay,
258
00:11:20,520 –> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: what are you looking for in the game Saturday night?
259
00:11:23,320 –> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?
260
00:11:23,520 –> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 2: Again, it’s just to see guys elevate. Right, So there’s
261
00:11:25,760 –> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 2: some position group battles that we’ve been watching that you
262
00:11:28,200 –> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 2: can only evaluate so much in training camp. And again
263
00:11:30,760 –> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: you have to see the guys go out there and
264
00:11:32,640 –> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: playing a game. You want to go back and forth?
265
00:11:34,520 –> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: Do you want me to go back and forth?
266
00:11:36,000 –> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: Just give me your FOT what Well, it does have
267
00:11:37,880 –> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: to be your top priority. But just you’re going You’re

270
00:11:46,559 –> 00:11:48,600

271
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: seven victory. Thank you.
272
00:11:49,640 –> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: And it’s also it will be air conditioned, which is
273
00:11:53,120 –> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: great compared to last year’s first preseason game where I
274
00:11:56,160 –> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 2: was a puddle of water on the sideline in Jacksonville, Florida, listen,
275
00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 2: and in Newton. I mean to disrespect to Jacksonville. I
276
00:12:02,880 –> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: don’t want to spend time in Jacksonville at August beyond
277
00:12:05,440 –> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: the four hours Jacksonville in December sounds great anyway.
278
00:12:09,559 –> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: One thing about that. You also need to know that
279
00:12:11,440 –> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: at one time at McMullen worked for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
280
00:12:14,760 –> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: I did. I’m going home, man, Yeah, go to check
281
00:12:17,360 –> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: out chess Chase Field old stopping grounds. I had a
282
00:12:19,520 –> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 2: great time in Arizona. Anyway, love me here. One guy
283
00:12:23,080 –> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: I’m watching on this weekend is Taekwon Thornton and he’s
284
00:12:26,640 –> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: been one of the stories of training camp so far.
285
00:12:29,040 –> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 2: If you’ve been following any Chiefs coverage at all, I’m
286
00:12:30,960 –> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: sure you’ve heard this at nauseum at this point, four
287
00:12:34,320 –> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: two eight speed, big time prospect. Just a couple of
288
00:12:37,240 –> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 2: years ago, the Patriots take him in the second round,
289
00:12:39,440 –> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 2: didn’t work out in New England, joined us on the
290
00:12:41,559 –> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: practice squad last year, and now he’s been having an
291
00:12:44,120 –> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 2: awesome offseason training program and training camp and one of
292
00:12:47,720 –> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 2: the kind of checkpoints for him because he was crushing
293
00:12:50,280 –> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 2: it in shorts, what can he do with the pads on? Well,
294
00:12:52,760 –> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 2: I think it’s fair to say he’s continued his ascension
295
00:12:54,840 –> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: with the pads on. He’s looked really good. Well, the
296
00:12:56,960 –> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: next step now is doing it in a game. So
297
00:12:59,120 –> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: we’ll see if he can go and play well. I
298
00:13:01,400 –> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: imagine he’ll get a bunch of reps because he’s fighting
299
00:13:03,360 –> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: to make this team. But Taekwon Thornton as a player
300
00:13:05,520 –> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: I’m excited to watch this weekend.
301
00:13:07,080 –> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I’m with you there. If he’s a sixth wide
302
00:13:09,280 –> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: receiver seven to six, who knows what’s going to happen
303
00:13:11,679 –> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: with the Roshie Rice. He must be a special teams contributor,
304
00:13:15,840 –> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: best if he’s a four core contributor. But we’ll see
305
00:13:18,440 –> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: him when the lights on and refs and everything going
306
00:13:20,559 –> 00:13:24,559
Speaker 1: on in Arizona playing full speed mine And this seems cliche,
307
00:13:24,760 –> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: but it’s the entire offensive line. Now follow me on this.
308
00:13:28,559 –> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: We know about Josh Simmons. I get a sense coach
309
00:13:31,400 –> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: has not talked to me yet about player rotation, but
310
00:13:34,559 –> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: sometimes we’ll see because of the offensive line and particularly
311
00:13:37,280 –> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: the two young guys on the left side, he may
312
00:13:39,880 –> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: play pat four to six naps, but then keep those
313
00:13:42,880 –> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: guys out there for Minshew’s first snaps. Sure, we’ve seen
314
00:13:45,720 –> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: that happen before. So it’s not just Josh Simmons, Kingsley Suamatia.
315
00:13:49,400 –> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: It’s the rest of the group against a really good
316
00:13:51,880 –> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: defensive front for Arizona because they’ve got depth there. Check
317
00:13:54,640 –> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: the dudes that they have. I don’t know who all
318
00:13:56,160 –> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: will play, but it doesn’t matter. They’ve got depth there.
319
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: But then, man, I’m really interested to see Mike Kelly,
320
00:14:02,280 –> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: Endo Hunter and nors Head one Yea Morris down the line.
321
00:14:06,400 –> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: Jalen Moore I’m gonna least somebody out here, but the
322
00:14:09,480 –> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: rest of those guys, because in the second half last
323
00:14:12,440 –> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: year of preseason games it didn’t go well. I struggled
324
00:14:15,280 –> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: and what will they do on Saturday night? And you’re thinking,
325
00:14:18,880 –> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: why is that important? That’s why you watch or listen.
326
00:14:21,680 –> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: We’ll talk about it, both of us. But you’ve got
327
00:14:24,600 –> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: to develop, at the very least a swing tackle. I
328
00:14:28,360 –> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: think we got that, but you also have to develop
329
00:14:30,720 –> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: line depth. Look what’s happened over the last several years.
330
00:14:34,000 –> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: So to me, that’s first and foremost. I know that’s
331
00:14:36,840 –> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: on everybody’s list, but I kind of want to look
332
00:14:38,520 –> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: at it a little deeper at the second or third level.
333
00:14:40,560 –> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and against an actual opponent, which will be great.
334
00:14:43,280 –> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: You can only see so much out here in practice.
335
00:14:46,240 –> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: And the offensive line for the most part, has impressed
336
00:14:48,760 –> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 2: me and I’m very excited about it, and not just
337
00:14:50,920 –> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: the starting five, but also the depth. Because you’re right,
338
00:14:54,040 –> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: one of the takeaways of the Jacksonville game last year
339
00:14:56,280 –> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: in the preseason was that our offensive line depth was
340
00:14:58,800 –> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: struggling and unfortuate. We kind of saw that review itself
341
00:15:02,440 –> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: over the course of the season. Right, Well, if your
342
00:15:04,440 –> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: depth looks good, in the preseason, you feel good about
343
00:15:07,320 –> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: the fact that if you lose a player or two
344
00:15:09,080 –> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: for an extended amount of time during the regular season,
345
00:15:11,960 –> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: you at least have guys that can go in there
346
00:15:13,720 –> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: play and keep everybody above water. Another player I’m looking
347
00:15:17,520 –> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: forward to watching this weekend is a Noel Williams, the
348
00:15:19,800 –> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: corner at a col so. I like the Chief’s depth
349
00:15:23,480 –> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: in the secondary a lot, but you’re only an injury
350
00:15:26,560 –> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 2: or two away from having to put a lot of
351
00:15:28,560 –> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: guys into action that maybe haven’t played a whole lot.
352
00:15:30,600 –> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 2: And Noel Williams is a player that I’m really excited
353
00:15:32,600 –> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: about in general for what he can do for this team,
354
00:15:34,800 –> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: not just in the future, but also this year. And
355
00:15:37,120 –> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: get him in there with some reps against Cardinals offense
356
00:15:40,120 –> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: and see what he can do. I’m curious how early
357
00:15:42,200 –> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 2: he’ll play in this game. But a lot of ball
358
00:15:44,440 –> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: skills coming out of college, a bunch of interceptions, great
359
00:15:47,680 –> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: against the run. You can’t really show all that in practice,
360
00:15:51,440 –> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: but what can you do against an opponent. So Noel
361
00:15:53,520 –> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 2: Williams is a player I’m looking forward to watching.
362
00:15:55,760 –> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: And let me take that a step further. I’m really
363
00:15:57,480 –> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: interested in all seven rookies in this game healthy, all
364
00:16:01,000 –> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: will play, all could contribute the first week in Brazil.
365
00:16:04,120 –> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: But we’ve already mentioned Josh Simmons and you mentioned I’m
366
00:16:06,600 –> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: with you Noel Williams. But you go right down the
367
00:16:08,480 –> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: line here. What’s Ashton Glotti look like in the snaps
368
00:16:10,800 –> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: that he gets. We’re excited about him. What’s Omer Norman
369
00:16:13,480 –> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: Lot look like in the snaps he’ll get. Jeffrey Boss
370
00:16:16,480 –> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: has dealt with injuries, but he’s been back on the field.
371
00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: We’ll see him. Richard Smith, we’ll see him as a
372
00:16:22,080 –> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: true running back probably, and then Jalen Royals. Royal’s has
373
00:16:25,760 –> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: been impressive about here. You and I have been excited.
374
00:16:27,760 –> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: I’m excited about this twenty five class. I see some
375
00:16:29,840 –> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: of the twenty two class in him. But what happens
376
00:16:33,800 –> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 1: in the game. So I look for all seven of
377
00:16:36,920 –> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: those guys to play a little bit, if not some
378
00:16:40,080 –> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: even more than that. But I’m curious what they’ll look like.
379
00:16:42,440 –> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 1: Do they look like what they’ve looked like out here?
380
00:16:44,760 –> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: And if they do, then we can really get excited.
381
00:16:46,920 –> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jalen Royals has been great in this camp. He’s
382
00:16:49,280 –> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: been strong and physical. Can he make some of those
383
00:16:51,200 –> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: catches over the middle against the Cardinals and Jeffrey Basseid.
384
00:16:54,400 –> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 2: I bet he has an opportunity to be the green
385
00:16:56,600 –> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 2: dot on defense for the second or third team, Like,
386
00:16:58,640 –> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: how does he do commanding the dfense against an NFL
387
00:17:01,760 –> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: opponent even though it’s just the preseason. So super fired
388
00:17:04,920 –> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: up to watch those guys. I’ll give you a deep
389
00:17:06,920 –> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: cut as well. I’m excited to watch Cooper McDonald and
390
00:17:10,200 –> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: Brandon George this weekend. Those are both linebackers and a
391
00:17:13,600 –> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 2: stacked linebacker room. Cooper McDonald signed with this team as
392
00:17:17,160 –> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: a tryout player during rookie Minnie camp. He showed up
393
00:17:20,080 –> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: with fifty other tryout players and stood out, earned a contract,
394
00:17:23,640 –> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: and he’s made plays. Coach Spagnolo mentioned him the other
395
00:17:26,720 –> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: day unprompted because he keeps standing out every single day.
396
00:17:30,000 –> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 2: And Brandon George has like a forty two and a
397
00:17:31,720 –> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: half inch vertical. He’s an undrafted free agent at a pit.
398
00:17:34,920 –> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 2: These are players you could see helping us on special teams.
399
00:17:37,640 –> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: And again we were talking about it earlier today. The
400
00:17:40,760 –> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: whole idea of Chi’s training camp. It does not matter
401
00:17:43,000 –> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: how you got here. You could be a first round
402
00:17:44,600 –> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: pick or a tryout player. If you go out here
403
00:17:46,680 –> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: and earn it, you’ve earned it, and you’re on this team.
404
00:17:48,520 –> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 2: We’ve seen it over the years. Echo Boido made this
405
00:17:50,680 –> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: team as a tryout player a couple of years ago
406
00:17:52,760 –> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: and helped us on special teams ent route to winning
407
00:17:54,880 –> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. So for Cooper McDonald, he’s a great story,
408
00:17:57,960 –> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: but also he could help us. I don’t know that
409
00:18:00,200 –> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: journey for him continues here with the preseason. How cool
410
00:18:02,960 –> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: for him that he didn’t get a call after the
411
00:18:05,119 –> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: draft was over, didn’t get a call, He wasn’t going
412
00:18:07,119 –> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 2: to go anywhere or sign with anybody. His only opportunity
413
00:18:10,000 –> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: was a tryout. And he’s gonna have a chance to
414
00:18:11,840 –> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: go play in an NFL game this weekend, and I
415
00:18:14,400 –> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: think he has a chance to stick around.
416
00:18:16,040 –> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: We’ll see. Yeah, it took a circuitous path in college,
417
00:18:18,359 –> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: three different colleges, but he’s been impressive here in George
418
00:18:21,600 –> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: ran Pitt’s defense for six years. In fact, he’s older
419
00:18:25,240 –> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: than Felix and Kazama and he’s only a month younger
420
00:18:28,960 –> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: than I looked at this. I think then George carlottis Wow.
421
00:18:33,119 –> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: And here he is as a rookie. Right, it’s the
422
00:18:35,240 –> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: Bonix sure dynamic.
423
00:18:37,840 –> 00:18:40,879
Speaker 2: That experience helps you, right, he doesn’t look like, you know,
424
00:18:41,280 –> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 2: drowning out there, looks like he knows kind of what
425
00:18:43,400 –> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: he’s doing, and that experience helps out.
426
00:18:45,040 –> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: Croc Pok guys. I’ll just close with a couple. The
427
00:18:48,240 –> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: running back situation is one to really look at. Sure,
428
00:18:51,080 –> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: we mentioned already some we know about Pacheco. What’s Elijah
429
00:18:54,400 –> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: Mitchell Gott Is there some juice? There is that forty
430
00:18:57,119 –> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: nine ers juice? And we can see we’ve already mentioned
431
00:18:59,680 –> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: Brash Smith being go right on down the line, even
432
00:19:01,880 –> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: former a Zoo running back Elijah Young, and then Carson Steele,
433
00:19:05,840 –> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: who right now is fighting man for his life. And
434
00:19:08,280 –> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: then I’ll close with Isa Pole, who’s a tackle. This
435
00:19:11,480 –> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be late in the game. I don’t know
436
00:19:13,080 –> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: how many snaps you’ll get, but just he’s a crock
437
00:19:15,320 –> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: pod guy. He’s in the McDonald and the George discussion
438
00:19:19,359 –> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: because he’s a developmental player. But we have seen this
439
00:19:22,160 –> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: team thrive with developmental guys.
440
00:19:24,200 –> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 2: I’m glad you mentioned the sixteen man practice squad at
441
00:19:27,280 –> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: the top, because just because a player doesn’t make the
442
00:19:29,640 –> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: team initially out of camp doesn’t mean they won’t help
443
00:19:31,720 –> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 2: us down the line, and these guys like McDonald and Pole,
444
00:19:34,520 –> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: they kind of fall into that category where just if
445
00:19:37,320 –> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: they get cut out of camp, they might still have
446
00:19:39,160 –> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 2: an opportunity to stick around for a while as part
447
00:19:41,200 –> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: of that practice squad. And we’ve seen it over the
448
00:19:43,160 –> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: years where players like Nico Ramihio or Jack Cochran comes
449
00:19:47,800 –> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: to mind, Cam Jones, if they don’t make it, you
450
00:19:49,880 –> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 2: might still see them down the road. Nico, i think,
451
00:19:52,440 –> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: was cut out of camp last year and still ended
452
00:19:54,520 –> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: up being our primary kick return man the latter half
453
00:19:57,240 –> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: of the season. Because you stick around, you’re on that
454
00:19:59,160 –> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 2: practice squad, you have injuries or you have a need
455
00:20:01,960 –> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 2: for that player, you call them on up and before
456
00:20:03,960 –> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: you know it, he now seems like a player that’s
457
00:20:05,560 –> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: part of this team’s future. So that’s why making this
458
00:20:08,320 –> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 2: team is important. But also look at it like the
459
00:20:10,600 –> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: practice squad is an extension of this roster because these
460
00:20:13,280 –> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: young players that are fighting for a spot, they’re also
461
00:20:16,240 –> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: fighting for one of those practice squad spots just to
462
00:20:18,680 –> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: be in this building, to be in this culture, because
