25
00:01:11,080 –> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: Let’s go.

26
00:01:11,800 –> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 3: I think when it really hit me is when I

27
00:01:13,560 –> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 3: realized that we’ll be flying to Brazil a week from yesterday.

28
00:01:18,040 –> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: We’ll be in Brazil a week from today, and thinking

29
00:01:21,319 –> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 3: about this week almost as a game week because we

30
00:01:24,200 –> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: play on next Friday. You know it like next week

31
00:01:27,760 –> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: will be super weird. We’re gonna have like two days

32
00:01:30,080 –> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: in the office and then we leave. So it kind

33
00:01:32,800 –> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: of feels like it’s a game week right now, which

34
00:01:34,920 –> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: is strange. I started some of my Charger game prep

35
00:01:37,920 –> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: earlier today, and it’s just funny because we talk about,

36
00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: you know, the off season training program and the building

37
00:01:43,920 –> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: toward the season for months and months and then it’s here.

38
00:01:47,240 –> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: Now it’s time to finally go, and I’m fired up

39
00:01:49,720 –> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: about it. We can talk all about the roster.

40
00:01:51,800 –> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: You’re saying less than a week from today, we’ll be

41
00:01:54,120 –> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: in Brazil readying for a week one.

42
00:01:56,760 –> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I gotta go to the restroom, hangers.

43
00:01:58,720 –> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 3: Yah. Yeah, you’re right, and like you and me will

44
00:02:01,360 –> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: wake up in Brazil a week from today. It’s nuts,

45
00:02:04,320 –> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 3: isn’t it now?

46
00:02:04,760 –> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: My stomach’s churning.

47
00:02:05,760 –> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: I had a question too, how many episodes of land

48
00:02:07,960 –> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: Man are you going to watch on the flight down?

49
00:02:09,800 –> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: I might so I’m halfway through it.

50
00:02:11,520 –> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: It’s fascinating, by the way, and really well done Billy

51
00:02:14,320 –> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: Bob Thornton. I look at the great actors of all time,

52
00:02:19,080 –> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: huh who can play different roles?

53
00:02:21,480 –> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: Yeah?

54
00:02:21,840 –> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: And Gene Hackman, the late Gene Hackman, of course recently

55
00:02:26,639 –> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: passed away tragically. And Denzel Washington He’s another one. Think

56
00:02:31,600 –> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: about how many different roles that he has played. Versatile,

57
00:02:35,000 –> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: so versatile, and so good in every one.

58
00:02:36,600 –> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: Of those roles.

59
00:02:37,840 –> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: But Billy Bob Thornton, when you play mister Woodcock, which

60
00:02:42,919 –> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: is the comedy, and then you play He’s.

61
00:02:46,440 –> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: An Armageddon, he’seddon sling Blade.

62
00:02:49,240 –> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, But land Man, he might be the best ever

63
00:02:54,120 –> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: in land Man. I know it’s recency bias and those

64
00:02:57,120 –> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: of you Kingdom defenders in West Texas are oh yeah,

65
00:03:00,840 –> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: that’s for real.

66
00:03:01,960 –> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: But Billy Bob Thornton is incredible in Landman.

67
00:03:05,400 –> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 3: So how much more do you have left?

68
00:03:07,400 –> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: Halfway through?

69
00:03:08,160 –> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: Okay, you saved it.

70
00:03:09,919 –> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: Well, I was trying to work ahead.

71
00:03:11,440 –> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: It’s been super busy from the time we entered the

72
00:03:14,639 –> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Chicago game the Seattle game, and I’d stuff to work on.

73
00:03:18,360 –> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Plus I was kind of tired, and I thought, no,

74
00:03:20,240 –> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: I’m going to save these We got eleven eleven hours,

75
00:03:23,080 –> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: so that’s about five of the eleven right there. So

76
00:03:25,960 –> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: I’m gonna binge like no other on Landman and thinking

77
00:03:29,400 –> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: I might go back to watch the other.

78
00:03:30,960 –> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: Five just because nothing else to do.

79
00:03:33,960 –> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: It’s so good and so captivating, and it’s something that

80
00:03:36,840 –> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: people really haven’t kind of delved into. But it h yeah,

81
00:03:40,880 –> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: it’s it’s phenomenal. It’s well written, and your Missouri alum

Speaker 3: on our normal flights, all the movies, all three movies

91
00:03:59,720 –> 00:04:01,640

93
00:04:05,960 –> 00:04:09,160

104
00:04:27,560 –> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: seen it like in bits and pieces.

105
00:04:28,960 –> 00:04:30,400

109
00:04:39,480 –> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: The season is finally almost here and.

110
00:04:41,400 –> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: We over undered how many trips to the restroom?

111
00:04:43,560 –> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: Oh man, I mean it’s eleven hours over. And also

112
00:04:47,160 –> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: the restaurant on the charter they come down with these

113
00:04:49,440 –> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: carts full of food and drinks because they’re trying to,

114
00:04:52,680 –> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: you know, keep the players who are burning like ten

115
00:04:54,680 –> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: thousand calories a day fed. But then we also get

116
00:04:57,279 –> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 3: the same food and drinks, so when we’re not burning

117
00:04:59,320 –> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: t or not sitting there watching movies and stuff. So, uh,

118
00:05:03,320 –> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 3: you don’t know to worry about like four or five,

119
00:05:05,680 –> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 3: you’re so cut restroom. Oh yeah, that’s how I’m described

120
00:05:08,960 –> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: four or five restroom trips. I think is probably a.

121
00:05:11,800 –> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: Good feels like that, I don’t know, yeah, yeah.

122
00:05:14,839 –> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: It’ll be interesting life experience.

123
00:05:16,720 –> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: We share this together South America. You you’re a South

124
00:05:19,120 –> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: American veteran. I’ll be a newbie. I mean, shoot, you’ve

125
00:05:22,839 –> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: got probably all the Central American countries, haven’t you.

126
00:05:25,360 –> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 3: So like when I graduated college, my dad had always

127
00:05:28,160 –> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: wanted to go to South America. So when I graduated college,

128
00:05:31,120 –> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: I went on a six week trip to South America.

129
00:05:34,160 –> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 3: So I went to Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Argentina and Chile

130
00:05:38,960 –> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: is amazing, and I went to have been to Costa

131
00:05:40,640 –> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 3: Rica too, in Central America.

132
00:05:41,800 –> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: So where’s your dad forget his underwear Chile?

133
00:05:44,080 –> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: He forgot his underwear in Atlanta. Oh, so we had

134
00:05:47,240 –> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: no underwear to South America. Now, so we we Uh,

135
00:05:51,279 –> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 3: this is a Chiefs podcast and here we are talking

136
00:05:53,480 –> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 3: about all this stuff. And actually we will have a

137
00:05:57,240 –> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 3: charges preview next week. Anyway, we thought we’d stay in

138
00:06:00,120 –> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: Atlanta the night before we flew to Quito, because you know,

139
00:06:02,920 –> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 3: we didn’t want to worry about a layover and missing

140
00:06:06,160 –> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: a flight to Quito. So We stayed in Atlanta the

141
00:06:08,040 –> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: night before we flew to Quito, and my dad thought

142
00:06:10,160 –> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 3: it would be really funny if he unpacked his entire

143
00:06:12,720 –> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 3: suitcase and put it in the drawers in the hotel, Like.

144
00:06:15,440 –> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 2: Who does that for one night?

145
00:06:17,080 –> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: He thought it’d be very funny, you know, because we

146
00:06:18,800 –> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 3: have all this stuff packed.

147
00:06:19,720 –> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: He’s a brilliant man. He’s one of the top attorneys

148
00:06:21,960 –> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: in the chiefs.

149
00:06:22,480 –> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: His strengths and weaknesses, you know. And he left all

150
00:06:25,839 –> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: of his underwear in Atlanta, so he flew to South

151
00:06:28,320 –> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 3: America for a six week trip with no underwear. So

152
00:06:31,120 –> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: that was part of the vacation, was acquiring underwear as

153
00:06:35,080 –> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: we went.

154
00:06:35,480 –> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: How’d that go?

155
00:06:37,160 –> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 3: It went okay. I knew more Spanish then than I

156
00:06:40,520 –> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 3: know now. He knows zero Spanish. You know. Not a

157
00:06:44,920 –> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: lot of people in the places that we were going

158
00:06:46,560 –> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 3: spoke much English. So we figured it.

159
00:06:48,240 –> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: Out though, and in Brazil they speak Portuguese, so we’re

160
00:06:50,839 –> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: trying to catch up. I was talking with Cairo Santas

161
00:06:53,839 –> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: on the sideline before the Chicago game. I think we

162
00:06:56,320 –> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: mentioned that, but it was great to talk to him,

163
00:06:58,000 –> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: just sign him one day, take him to Brazil with

164
00:06:59,720 –> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: us to be interpreter.

165
00:07:00,839 –> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: All right, let’s get into this.

166
00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: We’re going to the sixty six team, sixty six year

167
00:07:05,000 –> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: of the franchise. Three years with the Dallas Texans in

168
00:07:07,320 –> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: the AFL, moved to Kansas City, which changed Lamar Hunt Senior,

169
00:07:11,480 –> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: changed everyone’s lives bringing the Texans here to become the Chiefs,

170
00:07:14,880 –> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: and then Andy Reid saved all of our lives coming

171
00:07:17,320 –> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: here for the twenty thirteen season. But before we dive

172
00:07:20,080 –> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: into the sixty six team. Oh and by the way,

173
00:07:22,920 –> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: for now, yeah, there’s an ellipse here, sixty six team.

174
00:07:27,240 –> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: For now, do not chisel this into your sidewalk or

175
00:07:32,120 –> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: put it on some prominent building. That’d be a problem anyway,

176
00:07:34,920 –> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: because this could change as soon as we’re done when

177
00:07:38,920 –> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: we post this podcast, Matt, it could change as that quickly.

178
00:07:42,920 –> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, there’s a reason we call it the initial fifty

179
00:07:45,640 –> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: three man roster. It’s like never finalized, it’s always constantly changing,

180
00:07:49,280 –> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: and I am certain that by the time this is

181
00:07:51,880 –> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 3: posted it will look a little bit different. So give

182
00:07:54,920 –> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: us the benefit of the doubt on that one. We

183
00:07:57,320 –> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: as far as we know, this is the roster right now,

184
00:07:59,200 –> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: and it could change by the time that you listen

185
00:08:00,880 –> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: to this, But anyway, should we go around the world

186
00:08:03,280 –> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: real quick?

187
00:08:03,800 –> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: Sure?

188
00:08:04,040 –> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: And we have new headsets by the way, those of

189
00:08:05,760 –> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: you who are watching, most of you listen, but those

190
00:08:07,680 –> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: of your watching and our incredible seasonal that we have

191
00:08:13,120 –> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: who’s Argentinian?

192
00:08:14,400 –> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Miriam him Mariam, she’s right here.

193
00:08:17,280 –> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: She made sure they flew in these headsets just for

194
00:08:20,920 –> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: this episode because we had no headsets.

195
00:08:22,600 –> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: They’re on their way.

196
00:08:23,120 –> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 3: Over all of our stuff is on the way to

197
00:08:24,640 –> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 3: Brazil right now, so we’re going to do this podcast

198
00:08:27,240 –> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: and we had no equipment. But Miriam saved the day.

199
00:08:30,160 –> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: Argentina, don’t cry for me, Argentina. All right, what do

200
00:08:32,800 –> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: we have for a literally around the world?

201
00:08:35,679 –> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 3: I have a seven today because we play a game

202
00:08:38,240 –> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: in seven days from tomorrow and Harrison Buker and Harrison

203
00:08:41,559 –> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 3: Bucker game winn maybe a game winning fifty eight yard

204
00:08:43,760 –> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 3: field goal it feels good. Or we can win by

205
00:08:45,720 –> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: three touchdowns that’d be great too. Okay, So remember Peck

206
00:08:50,360 –> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: in high school last week?

207
00:08:51,440 –> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: Pekan?

208
00:08:51,800 –> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said it wrong again. I even thought about Okay, Pekan.

209
00:08:54,679 –> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 3: Here’s the thing.

210
00:08:55,200 –> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: They used to have a nickname that was not so good,

211
00:08:57,640 –> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 2: and they changed.

212
00:08:58,280 –> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 3: I think I screwed this up because I led you

213
00:09:00,520 –> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: to believe it was Peak and High School in Illinois.

214
00:09:02,760 –> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 2: It’s Peak of Illinois.

215
00:09:03,679 –> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it sounds like, so they are the panthers

216
00:09:07,559 –> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 3: or no, I thought they were the panthers. They’re actually

217
00:09:09,440 –> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: the dragons.

218
00:09:10,160 –> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, they’re different here. There used to be something else.

219
00:09:13,000 –> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 3: Now there is a Peak in high school in Iowa

220
00:09:15,600 –> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: that I think the listener that originally wrote in is

221
00:09:18,200 –> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 3: from that area. So we got multiple Peak and high schools.

222
00:09:22,320 –> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: So in Illinois it’s the Dragons. That’s the new one,

223
00:09:25,200 –> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: and that’s been changed. Okay, you go back and dragons

224
00:09:27,600 –> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: is pretty good. Dragons are good and that ties into

225
00:09:30,240 –> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: their heritage. Yeah, but Peak and High School in Iowa

226
00:09:35,280 –> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 3: that’s the panthers.

227
00:09:36,400 –> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: They’re the panthers.

228
00:09:37,320 –> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: So now we know, I’m not sure we’re just Peak

229
00:09:39,080 –> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: in high school.

230
00:09:39,640 –> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: It’s not like Iowa has I told you.

231
00:09:42,559 –> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: I always got this thing where if four schools consolidate,

232
00:09:47,320 –> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: they use them all. It’s like a p q r L,

233
00:09:50,600 –> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: like let’s go up a quarrel. Like I don’t know,

234
00:09:53,840 –> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: they don’t call it like hidden Valley or you know.

235
00:09:56,720 –> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: So anyway, some of them are there’s wapsa Valley. But okay,

236
00:09:59,320 –> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: Pekan Rams right should be the Rams?

237
00:10:02,200 –> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Rams that But anyway, we’re learning a lot about

303
00:13:05,440 –> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: All right, we’ll jump into this sixty six team.

304
00:13:07,640 –> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 4: Well, twenty minutes in here for twenty minutes. We got

305
00:13:09,880 –> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: ten minutes to go. Okay, there’s there is fifty three

306
00:13:15,160 –> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 4: players on this rosters. Just go two quarterbacks, four running backs.

307
00:13:19,960 –> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: Was eight wide receivers now seven with.

308
00:13:22,000 –> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: The rush sheet risis.

309
00:13:22,880 –> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: This is the initial eight wide receivers every drove off

310
00:13:26,120 –> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: the road, four tight ends, nine offensive linemen, three specialists.

311
00:13:30,320 –> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: You and I pretty much predicted this, and then we

312
00:13:32,440 –> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: did predict the nine to six nine on defense. Nine

313
00:13:34,800 –> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: defensive linemen, which include five defensive ends so five outside,

314
00:13:39,160 –> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: four inside, six linebackers, and then nine dybs including five

315
00:13:45,040 –> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 1: corners and four safeties.

316
00:13:48,800 –> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: So that’s what we got.

317
00:13:50,679 –> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: There’s your twenty nine specialist and offensive guys, and then

318
00:13:54,480 –> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: twenty four on the defensive side. Your initial thoughts on

319
00:13:57,640 –> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: what we have as the fifty three four now, do

320
00:14:01,240 –> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: not chisel it into stone.

321
00:14:03,480 –> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, the first thing that stood out is what

322
00:14:05,480 –> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 3: you mentioned when it first came out, and we were

323
00:14:08,040 –> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: keeping eight receivers. That was got your attention because we

324
00:14:13,160 –> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: were talking about what a big deal it was two

325
00:14:14,960 –> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 3: years ago when we first kept seven receivers, I believe

326
00:14:18,080 –> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: that was the most ever under coach read. Then we

327
00:14:21,160 –> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 3: did it again last year, and then, I mean, I

328
00:14:23,880 –> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: don’t think either of us thought keeping eight receivers was

329
00:14:26,080 –> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 3: even a possibility. Now, this is kind of a multifaceted

330
00:14:30,520 –> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: thing to break down here, because first of all, it’s

331
00:14:33,760 –> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 3: good on the Chief’s front office for figuring this out

332
00:14:36,160 –> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 3: with the whole Rashi suspension where you keep eight receivers.

333
00:14:40,280 –> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: Rareshi was on the roster not suspended for like a day,

334
00:14:43,480 –> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 3: and then he gets put on the suspended list, so

335
00:14:45,800 –> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: it’s really seven receivers even though we kept eight. But

336
00:14:49,160 –> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: it’s also a testament to Taekwan Thornton and to Jason

337
00:14:51,880 –> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: Brownlee for earning their spots, because the Chiefs wouldn’t have

338
00:14:55,800 –> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: kept eight receivers even the Rashi suspension, notwithstanding if the

339
00:15:00,160 –> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: guys didn’t earn it, if they didn’t have players that

340
00:15:02,600 –> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: deserved it. And Taekwan and Jason started their time here

341
00:15:07,120 –> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 3: at the Chiefs on as reserve future free agents. In February,

342
00:15:10,960 –> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 3: I mean, nothing was promised or guaranteed, but really throughout

343
00:15:14,160 –> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: OTAs and for Browne, especially in training camp, really came

344
00:15:18,200 –> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: on strong, like making really tough, physical, contested catches. Taikwan’s

345
00:15:22,960 –> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 3: been great really throughout OTAs and throughout training camp, and

346
00:15:25,880 –> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 3: we saw both those guys stand out in the preseason,

347
00:15:28,680 –> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: so good on them. Uh, we won’t have Forshi for

348
00:15:32,400 –> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: the first six weeks, but I feel really good about

349
00:15:35,440 –> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: our group overall. I think it’s deep and talented, and

350
00:15:39,240 –> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: particularly we knew we were getting Hollywood, we knew we

351
00:15:41,840 –> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: were getting Xavier. We’re excited about Joe and Royals. Juju

352
00:15:45,400 –> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: had a great camp, but particularly to get something out

353
00:15:48,200 –> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: of Taekwon Thornton and Jason Browne when they were relative

354
00:15:51,440 –> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: unknowns just a handful of months ago, I think is

355
00:15:53,840 –> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 3: very exciting.

356
00:15:55,440 –> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: And the fact that with you look at Thornton, who

357
00:15:59,280 –> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: was the second round pick in New England and then

358
00:16:01,160 –> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: just kind of went into oblivion. Well now he’s back,

359
00:16:03,680 –> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: and sometimes guys mature. Being in this system, we’ve seen

360
00:16:06,360 –> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: guys flourish. I’ll just remind everyone Andy Reid told me

361
00:16:09,120 –> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: a training camp best wide receiver corps we’ve had since

362
00:16:11,560 –> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: I’ve been here top to bottom, and Andy Reid’s not

363
00:16:13,960 –> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: into hyperbole now, so he backs up what you are

364
00:16:17,240 –> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: saying here. We’re going to go through the rest of

365
00:16:18,960 –> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: this roster and then we’re gonna get into something really

366
00:16:20,600 –> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: important to talk about that I think all the fans

367
00:16:22,560 –> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: need to know, and that’s dealing with the practice squad.

368
00:16:25,400 –> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: But your thoughts on the defensive side. First of all,

369
00:16:29,040 –> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: Derek Noddy’s back. He’s back to play defensive line. I’m

370
00:16:33,000 –> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: actually thrilled about it. Think about he’s got three Super

371
00:16:36,080 –> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: Bowl rings and he’s earned that by being a great

372
00:16:37,920 –> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: two down, two gap player. But when you look at

373
00:16:41,280 –> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: the defense, the nine to six’, nine what jumps out at?

374
00:16:43,880 –> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: You, well And i’ll add two just on, offense one

375
00:16:45,880 –> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 3: more quick. Thing With rashi going to the suspended, list

376
00:16:48,680 –> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 3: that Means Robert tunyan is now up on the. Roster

377
00:16:51,440 –> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: people were freaking, out oh freaking.

378
00:16:53,560 –> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: Out two things.

379
00:16:55,320 –> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: Here if you’re in the sheet rock business in, painting

380
00:17:00,000 –> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 1: but you’re you get a lot of business because people

381
00:17:02,320 –> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: were either throwing stuff at sheet rock or kicking. It

382
00:17:06,000 –> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 1: or if you sell phone, insurance because there were a

383
00:17:08,920 –> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: lot of phones that went against the wall when they

384
00:17:11,200 –> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: saw we’re not Keeping Robert, tunyan who arguably of all

385
00:17:14,600 –> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: the guys that had great, Camps tanyan was near.

386
00:17:17,640 –> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: The, top if not the, top had an awesome.

387
00:17:19,480 –> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 3: Camp he was great and just something to remember with

388
00:17:22,560 –> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: veterans Like tanyan And Mike, edwards who will talk about.

389
00:17:25,280 –> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 3: Later because they’re, veterans they don’t go through. Waivers So

390
00:17:28,560 –> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 3: tanyum wasn’t exposed to. Waivers teams couldn’t claim. Him he

391
00:17:31,920 –> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: could just sign with whoever he. Wanted AND i think

392
00:17:34,840 –> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 3: what happened is he was, Like i’m just going to

393
00:17:36,720 –> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 3: stick around AND i Think i’ll be up on the

394
00:17:38,960 –> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 3: fifty three. Anyway glad he’s. Back to answer your question

395
00:17:42,480 –> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: on defense a few. Things Mike panell being cut was

396
00:17:45,800 –> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 3: a bit of a. SURPRISE i think we can all

397
00:17:47,480 –> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: agree on. That the reality here is when you’re a

398
00:17:50,600 –> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: really good team like The, chiefs you’re going to cut

399
00:17:52,960 –> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: good players and players that have helped you win, sometimes

400
00:17:55,920 –> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: and it. Stinks Mike panell is an awesome. Guy for

401
00:17:58,600 –> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 3: all we, know we could See Mike panell later this.

402
00:18:00,320 –> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: YEAR i Think Brett veach has left that door. Open

403
00:18:03,040 –> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: but it’s the reality of.

404
00:18:05,320 –> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: It this.

405
00:18:05,600 –> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 3: Happens sometimes you have to let good players. Go Glad

406
00:18:08,280 –> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 3: Derek noddy’s back and we have a chance to develop

407
00:18:10,680 –> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 3: some young players at defensive. Tackle made some pretty exciting

408
00:18:14,359 –> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 3: additions to the practice squad With Broderick, Martin Zach, pickens

409
00:18:18,000 –> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 3: two Former day two draft picks not too long, ago

410
00:18:21,800 –> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 3: so getting younger, there but that was one. Surprise, also

411
00:18:26,080 –> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 3: keeping nine defensive backs initially was kind of a, surprise

412
00:18:29,440 –> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 3: even though it’s not quite the. Reality we’ve kept at

413
00:18:32,680 –> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 3: least ten defensive, backs actually exactly ten defensive backs each

414
00:18:36,359 –> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: of the last six. Seasons only kept nine this year

415
00:18:40,760 –> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: because of the roster, math but Because Mike cupboards is

416
00:18:43,000 –> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: on the practice, squad we basically kept. Ten so that

417
00:18:46,520 –> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: was a surprise at. First but Glad Mike cupboards is

418
00:18:48,480 –> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: sticking around on the practice. Squad we’ll see, Him i’m

419
00:18:50,880 –> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 3: sure at points during the. Year the best story, though

420
00:18:53,480 –> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: on defense Is cooper. McDonald oh my, gosh so rookie.

421
00:18:56,840 –> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 3: Linebacker he was a tryout player At Rookie Mini. Camp,

422
00:19:01,119 –> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: OKAY i had to go back and look at The

423
00:19:03,080 –> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 3: Rookie Mini camp. Roster he was one of sixty tryout

424
00:19:06,400 –> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 3: players At Rookie Mini. Camp there are players after the

425
00:19:09,440 –> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: draft that signed contracts as undrafted free. Agents those players

426
00:19:12,800 –> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 3: are on the team unless they get. Cut the tryout

427
00:19:15,760 –> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 3: players are on the team for three days and then

428
00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: it’s like thank, you, goodbye we’ll keep your. Number cooper

429
00:19:21,720 –> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 3: McDonald got a contract because he stood out among sixty tryout.

430
00:19:24,880 –> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 3: Players he stood out among nine tryout linebackers, alone got a,

431
00:19:29,920 –> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: contract and your reward for that is now you get

432
00:19:32,640 –> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: to compete with all these other, players these ninety one

433
00:19:35,520 –> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: players in training, camp and you’re probably not gonna make

434
00:19:38,840 –> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: it best, case you’re going to stick around on the practice.

435
00:19:40,720 –> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 3: Squad he made the fifty. Three this is. INCREDIBLE i

436
00:19:44,720 –> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: don’t know the last time this happened where a tryout

437
00:19:46,840 –> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 3: player made the initial fifty three man roster and he

438
00:19:50,040 –> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: earned every bit of. It it’s very.

439
00:19:51,320 –> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: Cool and he’s The Robert tounyan of, defense meaning it

440
00:19:55,200 –> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: was every day When cooper McDonald got on the, field

441
00:19:58,119 –> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: and we were trying to be careful not to like

442
00:20:00,400 –> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: wax poetic about. Him he was doing something every day

443
00:20:04,200 –> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 1: and then it carried over to the preseason games much

444
00:20:06,359 –> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Like Robert tunyan. Did and so he didn’t just flash and,

445
00:20:10,280 –> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: disappear flash and. Disappear he was consistent as we said,

446
00:20:14,800 –> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: before and So Eco boido was EXHIBIT a of the

447
00:20:19,400 –> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: guy that just shows up from his car and goes,

448
00:20:21,320 –> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: hey brings his cleats like A disney, Movie CAN i try?

449
00:20:24,000 –> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: Out and then he becomes a Super bowl, champion The

450
00:20:26,080 –> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: LAWRENCE Hsd lion K State. Wildcat But cooper McDonald now

451
00:20:30,920 –> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: Becomes Echo boido two point zero because this is a phenomenal.

452
00:20:34,560 –> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: Story and linebacker looked. Crowded there were nine linebackers in.

453
00:20:37,840 –> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: Camp you’re, like, WELL i don’t Think i’m not going

454
00:20:39,520 –> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: to keep five maybe. Six and The chiefs did Lose Cam.

455
00:20:42,320 –> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: Jones he was claimed by The, jets so he’s now

456
00:20:45,760 –> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: A New York. Jets so Is Isa pole by the,

457
00:20:48,080 –> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: way because the nine offensive lineman became somewhat of a.

458
00:20:51,160 –> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: Discussion but, Still cooper McDonald is a, player and he’s

459
00:20:55,280 –> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: a guy that has. Versatility he can play all three linebacker.

460
00:20:58,160 –> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 1: Spots he’s a little bit like The. Chanelle but he

461
00:21:01,560 –> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: And bassa both are Potential Green dot. Guys yeah and

462
00:21:05,119 –> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: so and are both really good on special. TEAMS i

463
00:21:08,440 –> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: think right, now IF i had to tell you the

464
00:21:11,520 –> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 1: unexpected excitement about this fifty three as it, stands right

465
00:21:14,720 –> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: NOW i could change any second IS i think from

466
00:21:17,800 –> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: a special team, standpoint this group is the best group,

467
00:21:21,800 –> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 1: overall top the bottom of special teams Players i’ve seen

468
00:21:24,400 –> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 1: And Andy reich thirteen. Years, YEAH i Let’s hobe about

469
00:21:27,200 –> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 1: this to what he. Thinks BUT i just am excited

470
00:21:29,680 –> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: about these guys because we’ve seen it on the practice

471
00:21:31,560 –> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: field and we saw it in the preseason, games.

472
00:21:33,520 –> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: And Coach, TOBE i, think is very fired up about.

473
00:21:35,640 –> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: IT i think you’re. Right we have young and hungry

474
00:21:39,000 –> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: players THAT i think on teams that weren’t as talented or,

475
00:21:43,480 –> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 3: deep would probably be playing on, defense but because they’re

476
00:21:47,920 –> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: here In Kansas, city like guys Like Jeffrey, BASSA i

477
00:21:50,640 –> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 3: think would be one of the three starting linebackers on

478
00:21:53,080 –> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 3: a lot of teams in THE. Nfl right, now we

479
00:21:54,760 –> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: have the luxury where he’ll he’s gonna, play but we

480
00:21:56,920 –> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: Have Leo chanell And Nick bolton And andrew trinkwell as well.

481
00:22:00,600 –> 00:22:03,439
Speaker 3: Well bassa is going to be like a superstar on special,

482
00:22:03,440 –> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 3: TEAMS i, Think AND i think so. Too cooper McDonald

483
00:22:05,880 –> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 3: fits into. That Brishard smith at some point is going

484
00:22:09,200 –> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: to be a really good special. TEAMER i think in

485
00:22:11,280 –> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 3: the returning. Game So i’m with. You we have some

486
00:22:13,600 –> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: really exciting young players that aren’t just going to help

487
00:22:16,840 –> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 3: us on offense and, defense but special teams.

488
00:22:18,560 –> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: Too, okay we’re going to close this, way and this

489
00:22:20,680 –> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: is a very important part of this. Podcast and you

490
00:22:26,000 –> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: AND i had a, chance along with some other members

491
00:22:27,720 –> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: of the media to sit down with Bred, veach AND

492
00:22:29,560 –> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: i asked him this direct question the practice squad AFTER

493
00:22:33,080 –> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: covid changed and they kept the, rules And i’m glad they.

494
00:22:37,000 –> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: Did we talked about the fifty three man, roster but,

495
00:22:40,040 –> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: again the fifty three men roster is like a nucleus

496
00:22:42,440 –> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: of an, atom and it’s surrounding the fifty three man,

497
00:22:44,560 –> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: roster or is the sixteen man practice squad seventeen if

498
00:22:48,359 –> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: you get an international pathway player on, there like we

499
00:22:51,080 –> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: do with You, godrick all, right we have seventeen guys

500
00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: that are swirling around the. Atom but to make the

501
00:22:58,480 –> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: atom sorting around the. Nucleus but the practice squad has

502
00:23:03,119 –> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: become as strategic as it is, developmental or at, least

503
00:23:06,600 –> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: as Brad veach, said a thirty seventy, split with seventy

504
00:23:10,440 –> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: percent being developmental but thirty percent being. Strategic and here’s

505
00:23:13,920 –> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: What i’m, saying we have three guys who are vested

506
00:23:16,720 –> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: veterans that are on our practice. Squad you Mentioned Mike.

507
00:23:19,520 –> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: Edwards he’s been in the league since twenty. Nineteen we’ve

508
00:23:22,160 –> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: seen him with three pick, sixes the ninety seven yard

509
00:23:24,440 –> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: scoop and score against The Chargers week eighteen of twenty.

510
00:23:26,800 –> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 2: Three we know what he can.

511
00:23:28,119 –> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: Do, secondly There’s Cole christensen sniffed out the fake punt

512
00:23:32,960 –> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: By buffalo a couple of years ago in the divisional

513
00:23:36,000 –> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 1: playoff win In. Buffalo he’s on the practice, squad he’s,

514
00:23:39,240 –> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: vested he’s been in the league since twenty Twenty West

515
00:23:41,320 –> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: Point Go. Army and then third Is tunyan So tunyan

516
00:23:45,160 –> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: who will get, elevated But tunyan was put on practice Squad,

517
00:23:49,040 –> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 1: initially you can protect four guys on the practice, squad

518
00:23:52,480 –> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: and you can put six guys on your practice squad

519
00:23:55,880 –> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: of you’re, sixteen regardless of their service in the, league

520
00:23:59,480 –> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: they can be in ten years and you can put

521
00:24:01,000 –> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: them on practice, squad and then you can protect them

522
00:24:03,080 –> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: so another teams cannot try to take them as a free.

523
00:24:06,119 –> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: Agent and then you’ve got to have ten of the.

524
00:24:08,440 –> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: Sixteen by rule has to be developmental players basically either

525
00:24:12,800 –> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: a rookie or less than nine games accrued on their.

526
00:24:16,800 –> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: Resume so the practice squad has been and you can

527
00:24:21,359 –> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: elevate guys with the practice squad three maximum of. Three

528
00:24:24,400 –> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: the fourth time they got to go to the fifty

529
00:24:26,000 –> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: three or they go. Away but the practice squad has

530
00:24:29,200 –> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 1: now become. Strategic and your, point you just mentioned a

531
00:24:31,680 –> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: WORD i love the other just a minute. Ago but

532
00:24:34,280 –> 00:24:38,160
Speaker 1: The chiefs have been really good at using these elevations

533
00:24:38,560 –> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: from a strategic standpoint with guys who have been in

534
00:24:41,359 –> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: the league and are. Valuable Col, christianensen special, Teams Mike

535
00:24:45,119 –> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: edwards and scrimmage, downs and then Also tanyan who’s been.

536
00:24:49,520 –> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: Terrific but so these elevations moving up and down is

537
00:24:53,400 –> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: like a video. Game, yeah and it’s very it’s, intriguing

538
00:24:57,119 –> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: and it’s kind of. Intense you AND i sit there and,

539
00:24:59,600 –> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 1: WAIT i wait Till sunday. Morning if it’s A sunday.

540
00:25:02,760 –> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: Game those elevations don’t have to be made until a

541
00:25:05,040 –> 00:25:07,719
Speaker 1: certain bit before the, game and you AND i are

542
00:25:07,760 –> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 1: Talking Austin, Woodard we’re all talking about who’s going to get,

543
00:25:10,640 –> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: Elevated and so it’s a really intriguing.

544
00:25:13,680 –> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: Part of THE.

545
00:25:14,320 –> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: Nfl, now if you’re a, fan dive into the practice

546
00:25:16,720 –> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: squad and what it.

547
00:25:17,440 –> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: Means we talked last week about how one of the

548
00:25:19,960 –> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 3: good things to come out of THE covid time was

549
00:25:23,040 –> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 3: this new kind of practice squad procedure because it becomes

550
00:25:26,680 –> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 3: essentially like a taxi. Squad it’s like almost like Your

551
00:25:29,840 –> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: TRIPLE a team in a lot of. Ways it’s not

552
00:25:32,560 –> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 3: just a handful of developmental, players but it’s still an

553
00:25:36,760 –> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 3: opportunity to develop players Like brett talked. About and the

554
00:25:39,640 –> 00:25:42,439
Speaker 3: standard elevation part of all this is a big part of.

555
00:25:42,440 –> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 3: That because in the, past if you wanted to sign

556
00:25:45,440 –> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 3: a player from your practice squad to your active, roster

557
00:25:48,359 –> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 3: you would do. That they’re on your fifty. Three and

558
00:25:50,760 –> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 3: then if you want to not have them on your

559
00:25:53,040 –> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: roster for the following week because a player is healthy

560
00:25:55,359 –> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 3: or for whatever, reason you had to cut them and

561
00:25:57,640 –> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 3: expose them to waivers and you might lose.

562
00:25:59,760 –> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: Them to your, point when you put them on the fifty,

563
00:26:02,040 –> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: three you had to cut somebody else.

564
00:26:03,560 –> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 3: Exactly, Yeah so it was like two cuts involved. Here,

565
00:26:06,359 –> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: now with the standard elevation that we’ve had the last

566
00:26:08,640 –> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: couple of, years you can elevate two. Players you basically

567
00:26:12,000 –> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: have what than fifty five players on game, day you

568
00:26:14,720 –> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 3: obviously have to go through your, actives but you have

569
00:26:16,920 –> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 3: those two extra players on your. Roster you don’t have

570
00:26:19,200 –> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: to worry about adding them to your roster or cutting other.

571
00:26:22,000 –> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: Players and then when the game is, over they just

572
00:26:24,160 –> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 3: go back to the practice. Squad you don’t have to

573
00:26:25,880 –> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 3: waive them and expose them to. Waivers so what you’re

574
00:26:29,359 –> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 3: doing is you have an opportunity to take developmental players

575
00:26:33,240 –> 00:26:35,679
Speaker 3: in addition to the veterans Like tanyan And edwards and all.

576
00:26:35,760 –> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: Them developmental players can come, up get live reps and

577
00:26:39,320 –> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 3: then go back to the practice. SQUAD i mean that’s.

578
00:26:41,440 –> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 3: Incredible you can’t get live action like that in any other.

579
00:26:44,400 –> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 3: Way so the standard elevation process has been really great

580
00:26:48,040 –> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 3: for THE nfl in terms of helping teams that are

581
00:26:50,440 –> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: in a, pinch but also just developing young. Players And

582
00:26:54,000 –> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: i’d have to go back and look, through but like

583
00:26:56,160 –> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 3: players Like Nico rimihio Or Mike calliendo over the, years

584
00:27:00,080 –> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 3: it began their. Career Nazi johnson comes to, mind began

585
00:27:03,720 –> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 3: their career as practice squad guys had a chance to

586
00:27:06,720 –> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: come up and play a little bit and then they

587
00:27:08,880 –> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 3: become fixtures on the roster after a couple of. YEARS

588
00:27:11,200 –> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: i mean that’s development and the standard elevation process and

589
00:27:15,080 –> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: the new practice squad rules are a big part of.

590
00:27:16,960 –> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 3: That So i’m a big fan of it And i’m

591
00:27:19,400 –> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 3: glad it stuck around AFTER.

592
00:27:20,680 –> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Covid so, Again beach is quote seventy percent, developmental thirty percent.

593
00:27:24,880 –> 00:27:28,560
