00:01:08,640 –> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Defending the Kingdom. It’s some of our favorite dtks. When

19
00:01:11,920 –> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: we’re here in Saint Joseph and you and I have

20
00:01:14,440 –> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: been here a week now, ever since the rookies, quarterbacks

21
00:01:17,319 –> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: and injured players were got a head start on everything.

22
00:01:20,520 –> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: Your reactions so far at camp.

23
00:01:22,480 –> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: We could almost do like an ASMR of like the

24
00:01:24,720 –> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: lawnmower in the background, the bullhorn. You know we’re back

25
00:01:28,280 –> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: up here. You can hear it the win going up

26
00:01:30,000 –> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 2: against our microphones. It’s great being back out here. We

27
00:01:32,840 –> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: talked about it on our last DTK. But this has

28
00:01:35,240 –> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: been a long off season in terms of time. It’s

29
00:01:37,959 –> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: been a good one, I think, and in terms of

30
00:01:40,280 –> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: the guys getting rejuvenated for this year and getting healthy

31
00:01:43,200 –> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: and everything. But it’s been a long time since we

32
00:01:45,200 –> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: talked about meaningful football and we’re not used to that.

33
00:01:47,319 –> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: In Chief Kingdom.

34
00:01:48,040 –> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: We’re used to playing for super Bowls, and I think

35
00:01:49,920 –> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: we have a great chance to play for a super

36
00:01:51,360 –> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: Bowl here this year after what we’ve seen, because the

37
00:01:53,640 –> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: guys have a certain hunger to him. And one thing

38
00:01:56,040 –> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: I talked about on our live stream it stood out

39
00:01:57,800 –> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: to me when Coach Reed spoke the other day. There’s

40
00:02:00,160 –> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: a conditioning test that happens every single training camp.

41
00:02:03,000 –> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: It’s super old school.

42
00:02:03,880 –> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: It’s like you’re back in high school, just running sprints

43
00:02:06,320 –> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: back and forth. Everyone does it to make sure that

44
00:02:09,480 –> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: they’re ready and conditioned for training camp for the football season.

45
00:02:12,480 –> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: It’s kind of like a way of coach read of

46
00:02:14,600 –> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: making sure the guys stay in shape during that time

47
00:02:16,880 –> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 2: they have oft in the summer. Hey, this is coming well,

48
00:02:19,120 –> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: he said, and his tenure as chiefs head coach. This

49
00:02:22,120 –> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 2: was the best conditioning test he’s ever seen. And that

50
00:02:24,360 –> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: says a lot. Right there shows the hunger of this team,

51
00:02:26,880 –> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: the energy that we’re feeling in this camp, and so

52
00:02:29,040 –> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: far we’re only on day three, but I think it

53
00:02:31,080 –> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: has translated to the practices.

54
00:02:33,000 –> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: Interesting point. A couple of reasons I think that is.

55
00:02:35,720 –> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: One is the elongated off season. Rick Berkholder told us

56
00:02:40,360 –> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: during the mandatory mini camp that the several players on

57
00:02:43,480 –> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: this team actually postponed surgeries for a couple of years

58
00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: because of the run to try to win three Super

59
00:02:50,880 –> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 1: Bowls in a row and then to try to get

60
00:02:52,880 –> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: back in a fourth year, and so the rubber band

61
00:02:55,200 –> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: kind of snapped. But part of the energy here is

62
00:02:57,600 –> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: feeling that there was an elongated offseason compared to what

63
00:03:00,680 –> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: we’ve had over the past five to seven years. But

64
00:03:03,560 –> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: I think two, there is a way that coach read

65
00:03:06,840 –> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: and it’s amazing how he approaches it scientifically. This team

66
00:03:10,120 –> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: basically conditions all year long. There’s a tempo to OTAs

67
00:03:13,720 –> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 1: and we talk about it on defending the Kingdom that

68
00:03:16,160 –> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: no other team in the league has. I remember I

69
00:03:17,919 –> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: saw Kenneth Walker had one of the first OTAs. I go,

70
00:03:20,520 –> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: You’re good. He’s like, dude, like this is an ota.

71
00:03:24,040 –> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: What’s camp going to be? Like? Well, so it’s a

72
00:03:26,840 –> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: conditioning that goes really all year long. And then the

73
00:03:30,960 –> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: last session of mandatory mini camp is they run gassers.

74
00:03:34,960 –> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: You talk about old school. That’s what made me think

75
00:03:36,600 –> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: of this. This is old school Marine Corps training. But

76
00:03:39,480 –> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: coach once he goes have this feeling, you know, you

77
00:03:42,160 –> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: got three weeks to get away. Don’t let your body

78
00:03:44,720 –> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: get crazy because when we go to Saint Joseph, we’re

79
00:03:47,360 –> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: going to start with this, and so I think all

80
00:03:49,760 –> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: those things come to fruition. But it’s all contrived. It’s

81
00:03:51,960 –> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: not by mistake or coincidence.

82
00:03:53,880 –> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: It’s not.

83
00:03:54,360 –> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 2: And we’re part of this ramp up period right now

84
00:03:56,320 –> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: where the very first practice a few days ago was

85
00:03:58,840 –> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: was shorter.

86
00:03:59,400 –> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: Not a whole lot happen.

87
00:04:00,440 –> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: But you go through the motions of everything, but every

88
00:04:02,720 –> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: day you kind of build on it a little bit.

89
00:04:04,440 –> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: And we haven’t had a padded practice yet. We’ll have

90
00:04:06,720 –> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: our first one next week August third, I think is

91
00:04:09,480 –> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: around there. We’ll have our first padded practice and then

92
00:04:11,840 –> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: we’ll ramp up to like two hour and thirty minute

93
00:04:13,760 –> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: practices in the heat and doing these back to back

94
00:04:16,240 –> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: to back. That’s what we’re ramping up to right now.

95
00:04:19,320 –> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 2: But there’s a method behind all of it, and Coach

96
00:04:21,440 –> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: reads the very best at organizing these camps and figuring

97
00:04:23,960 –> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: out how to get the best out of the guys.

98
00:04:25,720 –> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 2: And I think so far what’s excited me is how

99
00:04:28,160 –> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: a lot of our young and new players have totally

100
00:04:30,520 –> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 2: bought into this. It’s twenty twenty six. It’d be super

101
00:04:33,839 –> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: easy for these professional athletes to be like, what are

102
00:04:37,720 –> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: we doing up on a college football field an hour

103
00:04:40,920 –> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: from Kansas City in the heat, and no one’s done that.

104
00:04:43,640 –> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 2: It’s all buy in because they know what the culture

105
00:04:45,600 –> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: is like here. And I think that’s pretty cool.

106
00:04:47,839 –> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, And what we’ve seen so far, the most asked

107
00:04:49,880 –> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: question in the Northern Hemisphere has been what about Patrick Mahomes?

108
00:04:52,760 –> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Will he be ready to play Week one? Against the

109
00:04:54,520 –> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: Broncos on Monday Night Football. If you’ve been a Kingdom

110
00:04:57,560 –> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: defender over the past four or five months, you know

111
00:05:00,440 –> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: we’ve kind of tried to walk you through this path,

112
00:05:02,880 –> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: and we have seen Patrick be ahead of schedule, ahead

113
00:05:05,279 –> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: of schedule. Nobody’s even really kind of thinking about it here.

114
00:05:09,240 –> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: He’s that far ahead of schedule. One thing we wanted

115
00:05:11,760 –> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: to watch was would he do eleven on eleven work

116
00:05:14,440 –> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: right away? He has no. We’re not in pads yet.

117
00:05:17,200 –> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Matt mentioned it to you. We won’t be until next Monday,

118
00:05:20,080 –> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: but that’ll be the next step. But he’s been out

119
00:05:22,800 –> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: there with eleven on eleven doing basically everything, and we’ve

120
00:05:26,320 –> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: seen him do Patrick Mahomes things you forget. You had

121
00:05:29,040 –> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: to remind me go, you know seven months ago, seven

122
00:05:31,800 –> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: months ago he had ACL surgery. I was just you

123
00:05:35,560 –> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: just see him. He’s doing everything he’s always done.

124
00:05:38,240 –> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: He ran a speed option yesterday during eleven on eleven.

125
00:05:41,160 –> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: It’s one of those things where it was amazing, but

126
00:05:43,040 –> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: we’re also kind of like, oh god, no, but it

127
00:05:46,120 –> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: shows where he is in his rehab. He’s able to

128
00:05:50,120 –> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: do Patrick Mahomes things. Like you said, the speed option

129
00:05:52,800 –> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: is awesome, but there was also a play earlier in

130
00:05:54,680 –> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: yesterday’s practice where he was maneuvering in the pocket. I

131
00:05:57,680 –> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: mean there was defenders flying all over the place and

132
00:05:59,360 –> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: he was able to move around the pocket with his

133
00:06:02,000 –> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: agility from side to side like Patrick Mahomes does, and

134
00:06:05,160 –> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: he eventually found Jalen Royal’s open down the field. That’s

135
00:06:08,600 –> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: one of the things that makes Patrick so special is

136
00:06:10,360 –> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: his ability to buy time in the pocket. And when

137
00:06:13,200 –> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: you have an ACL injury, you wonder will that still

138
00:06:15,360 –> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: be there? I can report, yes, it’s still there. We

139
00:06:17,800 –> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: saw it on day two of training camp up here.

140
00:06:20,560 –> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 2: It says everything about him. I talked about this at

141
00:06:23,040 –> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 2: length on our live stream. But one area, or one

142
00:06:26,240 –> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: metaphor I’m using is he’s attacking his rehab like it’s

143
00:06:29,040 –> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of a Super Bowl and he has

144
00:06:30,760 –> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: to go down there and score. And there should be

145
00:06:33,279 –> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: no surprise here that he’s attacking every single day with

146
00:06:35,800 –> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: that same veracity because he’s Patrick Mahomes. So just like

147
00:06:39,120 –> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: you expect Mahomes to get the job done when there’s

148
00:06:41,400 –> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: two minutes on the clock and you’re down six and

149
00:06:43,680 –> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: he has the football, when you know he has a

150
00:06:46,120 –> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 2: certain amount of time to get ready for the season,

151
00:06:47,920 –> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 2: He’s going to make sure he’s ready. I mean, the

152
00:06:49,760 –> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: guy was in the building for six or seven hours

153
00:06:51,880 –> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: a day every day working immediately after this happened. Wasn’t

154
00:06:55,800 –> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: feeling sorry for himself, wasn’t saying why this happened to me.

155
00:06:58,680 –> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 2: He was working getting ready for this year. And we’re

156
00:07:00,880 –> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 2: seeing that payoff so far with him being fully cleared

157
00:07:03,720 –> 00:07:07,159
Speaker 2: for practice before training camp began, and he’s participated in

158
00:07:07,240 –> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: every eleven on eleven segment he’s been asked to participate in.

159
00:07:10,320 –> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: It’s just really exciting and he’s not just out there.

160
00:07:12,680 –> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: He looks like Patrick.

161
00:07:13,480 –> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes When I see her, I’m going to ask for

162
00:07:16,040 –> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: a fist pump, because we all need to applaud Britney

163
00:07:18,440 –> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: Mahomes here when you think about three kids and Patrick

164
00:07:21,800 –> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: loves those kids love to be around him. But he’s

165
00:07:24,000 –> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: he had to spend extra time in rehab in the

166
00:07:26,560 –> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: off season, so to speak. And so your point about

167
00:07:29,280 –> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: attacking it and going seven hours in a clip the

168
00:07:31,320 –> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: other thing we need to He’s surrounded by so many

169
00:07:34,000 –> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: great people on his own team, but then also Julie

170
00:07:37,920 –> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: Fremeyer and others in Rick Burkholder’s staff have worked their

171
00:07:41,520 –> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: tails off to get Patrick ready. To this point, you

172
00:07:44,440 –> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: talked about the play where he had to adjust to

173
00:07:46,120 –> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: actually go right and left on the same play in

174
00:07:48,440 –> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: a tight space. There was two plays yesterday. One I

175
00:07:52,680 –> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: must give the the ladder first, and it was a

176
00:07:56,320 –> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: basically a great blitz call by Steve SPAGNOLDA one’s on

177
00:07:59,800 –> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: one and it’s ends up being cover zero, which is

178
00:08:02,720 –> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: manned to man all over the field. Pat reads it

179
00:08:04,680 –> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: like he usually does. He loves cover zero because he

180
00:08:07,440 –> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: has most of the fifty three yard width of the

181
00:08:09,960 –> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: field to throw somebody open. And he just three perfect

182
00:08:13,640 –> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes pass for a fifty yard touchdown to Xavier

183
00:08:16,280 –> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: Worthy against decent coverage. And so I saw that. I’m like, okay,

184
00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: let’s go.

185
00:08:23,160 –> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: And that was exciting for more reasons than one. Because

186
00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: the deep ball is an area that we know we

187
00:08:27,040 –> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: have to get better, and to see it work beautifully

188
00:08:29,560 –> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: like it did there was exciting.

189
00:08:30,880 –> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: And teams will I think they’ll blitz. So we’ve seen

190
00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: so many two deep safety things, but now because of

191
00:08:35,240 –> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: Pat’s injury, I think there will be an inclination like, well,

192
00:08:38,000 –> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: let’s throw him and let’s throw the kitchen sink at him,

193
00:08:40,679 –> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: because he’s not has his normal game, and I think

194
00:08:43,720 –> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: that’s where all shock opponents.

195
00:08:45,080 –> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: And the other way.

196
00:08:45,600 –> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: And if they do that, the screen game is something

197
00:08:47,520 –> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 2: that we’ve been watching up here that’s been working magnificently

198
00:08:50,679 –> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: so far.

199
00:08:51,320 –> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: Leads to the second point. And the second point is

200
00:08:54,480 –> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: ken Walker is different. Yeah, K nine is different, And

201
00:08:58,320 –> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: there was a screenplay. You segue it nicely here. Fifty

202
00:09:02,080 –> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: yard screen would have been a touchdown. Some places are going, oh, that,

203
00:09:05,480 –> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: there’s a nice game, but wouldn’t have been a touchdown. No,

204
00:09:07,400 –> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: this would have been a touchdown. I went back and

205
00:09:08,920 –> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: reviewed the video. It was so well blocked in time.

206
00:09:11,720 –> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: But then K nine would have taken a fifteen yard

207
00:09:15,000 –> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: play and made it a fifty yard touchdown. There’s a

208
00:09:17,679 –> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: reason he’s a Super Bowl MVP. But we’re getting more

209
00:09:20,040 –> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: here than even thought we were going to get, and

210
00:09:22,960 –> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: in this offensive system. I had a chance to talk

211
00:09:25,080 –> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: with him and he said, I’ve never been in a

212
00:09:27,120 –> 00:09:29,599
Speaker 1: system like this now. At Michigan State he was a

213
00:09:29,679 –> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: high school wide receiver. And I said, what about throwing

214
00:09:32,200 –> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: you the ball? He goes, Guy, I love it, but

215
00:09:34,040 –> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 1: what it reminds me of, No, I want to get

216
00:09:35,960 –> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: too far ahead of myself was Kareem Hunter’s rookie year

217
00:09:38,280 –> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and he’s even a better version of that.

218
00:09:41,320 –> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: But we talk about the run game, but the passing game,

219
00:09:45,000 –> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: the screen game, the deep ball game. We saw him

220
00:09:47,080 –> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: run an angle route today for a touchdown in the

221
00:09:49,000 –> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: red zone. Nothing against the running backs. We’ve had, love

222
00:09:52,880 –> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: those guys, all of them, but Ken Walker’s different.

223
00:09:55,840 –> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: We haven’t had the running back position involved in the

224
00:09:59,360 –> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: passing game like we might now since Jerick McKinnon was here.

225
00:10:03,520 –> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: So Jack McKennon was such a weapon in this offense

226
00:10:06,240 –> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 2: out of the backfield, not just as a runner but

227
00:10:07,960 –> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: also as a receiver. We might have that again now,

228
00:10:10,320 –> 00:10:11,959
Speaker 2: not just with Walker, I think with the other guys

229
00:10:11,960 –> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: as well, guys like Amrio Demarcado, Brischard Smith and Emmett Johnson.

230
00:10:15,760 –> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: But Walker particularly, I mean, obviously, on paper, you get excited.

231
00:10:19,920 –> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: He has these thousand yard seasons, he’s a Super Bowl MVP,

232
00:10:22,880 –> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: he has a track record.

233
00:10:24,160 –> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: You know, he’s a guy.

234
00:10:25,600 –> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: He comes in here and we know he’s supposed to

235
00:10:27,120 –> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 2: be like a top five, top ten NFL running back,

236
00:10:29,480 –> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: But to actually see it and see it transpire within

237
00:10:32,280 –> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: our offense is so exciting.

238
00:10:34,120 –> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: Because we knew we had to get better there at

239
00:10:35,640 –> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 3: running back.

240
00:10:36,160 –> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 2: We’ve said it over and over on this podcast that

241
00:10:38,720 –> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: we needed an explosive running game this year after what

242
00:10:41,400 –> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 2: we had last season, and we have that with a

243
00:10:43,920 –> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 2: running back room, and especially with ken Walker. His contact

244
00:10:47,080 –> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: balance really stands out to me. There was a couple

245
00:10:49,440 –> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: of days ago where he caught a quick passing the

246
00:10:54,120 –> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: flat and it wasn’t particularly on target. He finds a

247
00:10:57,040 –> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: way to contort his body, catch the ball, stay on

248
00:10:59,640 –> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: his feet and get upfield. I mean, we just haven’t

249
00:11:01,840 –> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: had that recently. And yeah, the angle route today was

250
00:11:04,440 –> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: impressive and the screen. The screen yesterday was one of

251
00:11:07,280 –> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: those plays you write down and say that part of

252
00:11:09,280 –> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs offense might be back, because when Jeric was here,

253
00:11:12,320 –> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: a screen game was pivotal.

254
00:11:13,800 –> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: It was critical to our offense.

255
00:11:15,280 –> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 2: How many third and twenties did we have in twenty

256
00:11:18,040 –> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty twenty three where the defense blitzes the

257
00:11:22,600 –> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: house or whatever and Jack McKinnon’s wide open for a

258
00:11:24,840 –> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: quick screen goes off for thirty five yards. We end

259
00:11:27,080 –> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 2: up scoring later on that drive. I think we might

260
00:11:28,920 –> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: have that back here at ken Walker. It’s more than

261
00:11:30,960 –> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: just him being a great workhorse kind of running back

262
00:11:33,240 –> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: who can bust a twenty yard gain on a traditional

263
00:11:35,880 –> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: run up the middle. The screen game, I think is back,

264
00:11:38,320 –> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 2: and that’s super exciting for your Chiefs fan.

265
00:11:40,720 –> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 1: I want to take your point, so will take it,

266
00:11:42,360 –> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: but I’m gonna take it a step further because Jack

267
00:11:44,280 –> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: McKinnon was really a third downish type back. So now

268
00:11:47,559 –> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: you have Ken Walker who’s a threat to do that

269
00:11:49,640 –> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: on every down. Yeah, so now you’re passing game to

270
00:11:52,040 –> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: the running back, not just throw check downs or oh gosh,

271
00:11:55,400 –> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: we just got to dump it off here, Actually contrived

272
00:11:57,840 –> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: plays I don’t think we’ve seen since coach Reid knew

273
00:12:00,640 –> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: what he had in Kareem Hunt in twenty seventeen. Go

274
00:12:02,960 –> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: back and watch the opening game against the Patriots and

275
00:12:06,000 –> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: those passing plays because you’re going to get me some mismatches. Now,

276
00:12:08,960 –> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: you tell a defensive coordinator what are you going to do?

277
00:12:11,520 –> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do? You’re gonna go light in

278
00:12:12,840 –> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: the box because that’s what we’ve seen. We’ve seen light

279
00:12:15,120 –> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: boxes forever, and a light box meet you check to

280
00:12:18,800 –> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: a run, you’ve got one more guy to block than

281
00:12:21,120 –> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: they got to defend. Or are you’re going to maybe

282
00:12:23,920 –> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: come up and try to challenge. Well, then it’s not

283
00:12:26,720 –> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: just a blitz read on a zero cover zero blitz.

284
00:12:29,120 –> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: It’s a throw to a contriver route to a back

285
00:12:31,520 –> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: at the second or third level. And it’s something we

286
00:12:33,960 –> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: wanted for a long time. So, yeah, we’re excited about

287
00:12:37,400 –> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: ken Walker, and yes, he’s different. Plus he’s acclimated to

288
00:12:40,960 –> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: the culture here better than I even thought this early.

289
00:12:45,120 –> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 1: On the defensive side, too, I think have we seen

290
00:12:47,760 –> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: some encouraging signs And dealing with false narratives is one,

291
00:12:51,720 –> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: because the one of the narratives around the league is,

292
00:12:53,840 –> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, the Chiefs are going to go at

293
00:12:55,200 –> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: fifty points a game because every time the other team

294
00:12:57,520 –> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: throws the ball it’s a touchdown. We’re seeing so different

295
00:13:00,679 –> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: on her.

296
00:13:01,160 –> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are. We love the guys that we’re here.

297
00:13:03,920 –> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: Trent McDuffie, jaywhen Watson, Brian Cook, Joshua Williams. Those guys

298
00:13:07,440 –> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 2: helped us win championships. I think it’s still one of

299
00:13:10,000 –> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: the greatest draft classes in NFL history, not just choose

300
00:13:12,840 –> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 2: history of getting those guys in twenty twenty two, but

301
00:13:15,720 –> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: I think because we’ve lost those big names, there is

302
00:13:19,040 –> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: a national narrative out there that our secondary isn’t very good,

303
00:13:21,960 –> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: and I couldn’t disagree with it more. I think we

304
00:13:23,840 –> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: have a chance to actually be deeper in the secondary

305
00:13:26,520 –> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: this year if the guys that we believe in and

306
00:13:28,679 –> 00:13:31,559
Speaker 2: the potential that they have can come to fruition. Think

307
00:13:31,559 –> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: about where we are at corner right now. I think

308
00:13:33,679 –> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: we have four players right now that they can go

309
00:13:35,720 –> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: out there and play outside corner for this team and

310
00:13:38,160 –> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: you feel pretty good about it.

311
00:13:39,400 –> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 3: Noel Williams is one of them.

312
00:13:40,640 –> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: He’s a guy that really kind of flashed at the

313
00:13:42,960 –> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: end of last year, had an opportunity to play more

314
00:13:45,280 –> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: when we were out of it, and made the most

315
00:13:46,960 –> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: of that opportunity. He was great in OTA’s and he’s

316
00:13:49,840 –> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 2: been good so far in this camp. Had an interception

317
00:13:51,800 –> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: the other day in the red zone. Christian Fulton is

318
00:13:56,080 –> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: a player that we brought in here last year thinking

319
00:13:58,240 –> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: he was going to be a starter for us. We

320
00:13:59,559 –> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: had some men stuff, but really Flash at the end

321
00:14:02,200 –> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 2: of last season was really good and he’s carried that

322
00:14:04,600 –> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 2: into this camp. I think Christian Fulton is a player

323
00:14:07,160 –> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 2: that I believe in. La Jerius Snead is back and

324
00:14:09,520 –> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: we know what Lagerius can do, and of course monster

325
00:14:12,120 –> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: delaying number six overall pick in the draft for a reason.

326
00:14:15,440 –> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: He’s in a non contact jersey right now, but he’s

327
00:14:18,480 –> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: making progress. Coach Reed said earlier today, he should take

328
00:14:21,160 –> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: that off here pretty soon. You feel good about all

329
00:14:23,440 –> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: four of those guys and the slot as well as

330
00:14:25,880 –> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: an area I’m very excited about.

331
00:14:27,320 –> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it’s crowded the slot. If you can find in archives,

332
00:14:30,200 –> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: we did a live stream where we really broke down

333
00:14:33,520 –> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: all of the nineteen defensive packs or dove into that area,

334
00:14:36,680 –> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: so if you can find that. But the safety group too,

335
00:14:40,560 –> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: in the fact that I think he’ll be much much better.

336
00:14:42,840 –> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: And again note casting no aspersions in the guys that

337
00:14:45,640 –> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: we love and we’ll see at reunions and hug but

338
00:14:48,680 –> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: Alohi gilman Ad said his defense. I just talked to

339
00:14:51,040 –> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: him after practice today. His intelligence, the ball finds him.

340
00:14:55,080 –> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: He loves being in this defense. We know what Jayden

341
00:14:58,280 –> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: Hicks can do. Then you look at putting Chamarry Connor

342
00:15:01,440 –> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: back a place where I think he’s more designed to

343
00:15:03,560 –> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: have success, and so Spags is even alluded to that

344
00:15:07,080 –> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: we got him back where he belongs. And then you

345
00:15:09,200 –> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: mentioned this crowded group of guys that are all capable

346
00:15:12,560 –> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: and even these safety corner combos Christian Royal Wallace comes

347
00:15:16,640 –> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: to mind. But there’s just more back there, and it’s

348
00:15:20,040 –> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: not just step. When we had twelve takeaways last year,

349
00:15:22,760 –> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about it to you can’t

350
00:15:24,760 –> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: you can’t win in the NFL if you don’t have

351
00:15:28,040 –> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: more takeaways. And you’ve also got to get up the

352
00:15:30,680 –> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: field in third down. Those two areas alone led to

353
00:15:33,080 –> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: six and eleven, and I could just see that flipping,

354
00:15:35,840 –> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: flipping the script real quickly.

355
00:15:37,360 –> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 2: I mentioned that Noel Williams interception the other day, Well,

356
00:15:39,720 –> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: the very next snap, Jamariy Connor had an interception. It’s

357
00:15:43,040 –> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: tricky up at training camp. We always jok around about

358
00:15:45,200 –> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: it that whenever there’s like an interception or a force fumble,

359
00:15:47,680 –> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: the crowd kind of groans a little.

360
00:15:49,040 –> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 3: Bit like ooh that play.

361
00:15:50,440 –> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: It’s like, well, we want the defense to find success too,

362
00:15:52,720 –> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 2: and instances like that that is kind of a good

363
00:15:55,080 –> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 2: thing where it’s like, all right, the defense is executing

364
00:15:57,920 –> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: the scheme the way it’s supposed to be execute and

365
00:16:00,280 –> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 2: then they’re taking the ball away. We need more takeaways

366
00:16:02,880 –> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. That’s obvious. So hopefully we can

367
00:16:05,640 –> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: get that from our secondary, and so far we’re seeing

368
00:16:08,000 –> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: some of it. I mentioned the slot though. The reason

369
00:16:10,040 –> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: I think it’s so important is because of the Chamari element.

370
00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: Because we have multiple players I think that can fit

371
00:16:14,240 –> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: into that slot role, guys like Chris Rowland, Wallace cater

372
00:16:16,960 –> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: Cooho and Jaden Kennedy, and that lets Chamari play traditional

373
00:16:20,840 –> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 2: safety where I think he’s a really good player.

374
00:16:22,560 –> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 3: I think about his.

375
00:16:23,680 –> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: Rookie year, that interception over the middle against Josh Allen

376
00:16:26,840 –> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: just plays like that. He’s really good in open space

377
00:16:29,360 –> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: like that, and it helps the entire team depth wise

378
00:16:32,480 –> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: if you have more slot guys, because it opens him

379
00:16:34,680 –> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: up to do other things. So that’s a positive, and

380
00:16:37,280 –> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 2: that’s why I think this dB room has a chance

381
00:16:39,040 –> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 2: to be even deeper than it was last year, even

382
00:16:41,000 –> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: though we lost a bunch of our major contributors.

383
00:16:43,080 –> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: And even if he’s facing the play like his scoop

384
00:16:45,560 –> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: and score against Cincinnati that same year, which really decided

385
00:16:49,520 –> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: the game it did, and the fact that he was

386
00:16:51,840 –> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: playing at a role where he in the slot many times,

387
00:16:54,680 –> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: depending on the coverage, you’re not necessarily backpedaling and have

388
00:16:57,760 –> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: your shoulders looking at the play, You’re turning your trying

389
00:16:59,920 –> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: to stay with He was able to face that play,

390
00:17:02,440 –> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: see it and make a play that was in front

391
00:17:04,600 –> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: of him, not turning his shoulder and trying to stay

392
00:17:06,440 –> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: with some guy running a four to three the defensive front.

393
00:17:09,480 –> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: I’m encouraging about two. We’ll get into more later on

394
00:17:12,560 –> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: our next version, maybe from camp on defending the Gym.

395
00:17:15,359 –> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: By the way, all of our dtks in our live

396
00:17:17,840 –> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: streams from here in Saint Joseph. We’re brought to you

397
00:17:19,720 –> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 1: by Mosaic Life Care, the proud presenting partner of Chiefs

398
00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 1: Training Camp. As we close out this edition though, and

399
00:17:27,480 –> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 1: we’re narrow getting ready for pads coming up on Monday.

400
00:17:31,520 –> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: But guys that have surprised you. You’ve already mentioned Noel Williams,

401
00:17:34,080 –> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: and we’ll go back and forth here. One that caught

402
00:17:36,840 –> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: my eye he’s been really it’s gonna be interesting to

403
00:17:38,880 –> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: watch is Xavier Wampa. He is a safety out of

404
00:17:41,800 –> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: the University of Iowa. He wasn’t even drafted, but at

405
00:17:45,600 –> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: Iowa he kind of morphed into a role where he

406
00:17:48,280 –> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: became a leader of that team. But it’s about a

407
00:17:49,960 –> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: three year process for him. I mentioned as four hundred

408
00:17:54,359 –> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: and sixty six special team snaps. When we look at

409
00:17:57,119 –> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: these guys and we don’t talk about special teams enough.

410
00:17:59,640 –> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have got to get their swag back on

411
00:18:01,960 –> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: special teams. At the least you flip fields. At least

412
00:18:04,960 –> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: you affect the line of scrimmage or at least the

413
00:18:07,800 –> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: starting field position. The second part of it is being

414
00:18:10,760 –> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: explosive in the return game and coverage game. We have

415
00:18:13,560 –> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 1: not had a kick or punt return since the COVID

416
00:18:16,000 –> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: year of twenty twenty. Now is wampa. He’s going to

417
00:18:19,240 –> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: be a rank and file guy. Plus he’s a local

418
00:18:21,320 –> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: Guy’s from Southeast Polk High School in East to Mooine.

419
00:18:24,000 –> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, this guy’s made this meteoric

420
00:18:26,760 –> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: rise coming from being an undrafted free agent go away.

421
00:18:30,119 –> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Maybe he’s a croc pod guy. Maybe I’ll make the

422
00:18:32,040 –> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: practice squad. I don’t think it’s far fetched to know

423
00:18:35,440 –> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: here as we post this that he’s not on the team.

424
00:18:40,040 –> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I’m with you. I mean he has a great

425
00:18:42,200 –> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: blend of size, speed and length. He’s long and lengky

426
00:18:47,160 –> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 2: see six two two thirteen runs a four four eight forty.

427
00:18:51,359 –> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: Just a really nice athlete and I think he could

428
00:18:53,240 –> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 2: definitely help us. He did media the other day, and

429
00:18:55,440 –> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: I was kind of taken aback by how tall he was.

430
00:18:57,800 –> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 3: I didn’t realize he was that tall.

431
00:18:59,320 –> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 2: And having a player with that speed and that athleticism

432
00:19:02,280 –> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: but also that height at safety and on special teams

433
00:19:05,040 –> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: is a big deal. So I’m with you on him.

434
00:19:06,600 –> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: Another player kind of in that mold as Andrew Armstrong,

435
00:19:09,680 –> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: a wide receiver. He was, I believe, on our practice

436
00:19:12,920 –> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: squad towards the very end of last year.

437
00:19:15,040 –> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: Pickup.

438
00:19:15,600 –> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

439
00:19:15,880 –> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: Now, he was a reserve future free agent that we

440
00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 2: signed like in January or February, So he went through

441
00:19:20,720 –> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: the whole offseason training program with us, and now he’s

442
00:19:22,800 –> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: here and he’s showing out. First of all, he has

443
00:19:24,600 –> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 2: good measurables. He’s six foot four, two hundred and ten pounds.

444
00:19:27,960 –> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: Kind of an interesting career, started at a small school,

445
00:19:30,400 –> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: ended up at Arkansas to wrap up his college career.

446
00:19:33,320 –> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: But a good player who’s showing out here. Made some plays,

447
00:19:36,119 –> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: had some nice linkups with Justin Fields the other day

448
00:19:38,920 –> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: on some nice throws. So Andrew Armstrong, number eighty five

449
00:19:41,960 –> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: is a player to watch while you’re up here.

450
00:19:44,080 –> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: And I’ll close with this one. And you know who

451
00:19:46,240 –> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: he is, but he really has a chance to break

452
00:19:49,480 –> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: through to be really good. And that’s Kingsley’s Mattia at

453
00:19:52,480 –> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: left guard. He started at left tackle, tried to make

454
00:19:54,560 –> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: him a tackle and that didn’t go well. Most of

455
00:19:57,400 –> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: you in the Chiefs Kingdom can go back and watch

456
00:19:59,640 –> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: the video. But he’s turning into potentially special guard. And

457
00:20:04,200 –> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: when you throw that in, because every time Kingsley’s been

458
00:20:06,840 –> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: talked about a guard, Matt, even we’ve been, we do

459
00:20:10,119 –> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: the same thing. We immediately tie it in to create

460
00:20:12,760 –> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: Humphrey center and Tray Smith at right guard, and we

461
00:20:15,080 –> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: should to some extent. These guys are pro bowlers, increads

462
00:20:17,880 –> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: the best in the game right now. But Kingsley’s worth

463
00:20:20,800 –> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: a discussion in and of himself, even apart from Creed

464
00:20:24,560 –> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: and Trey. In the fact that speed power we talked

465
00:20:29,880 –> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: about K nine and the screen game, we talked about

466
00:20:32,680 –> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: the power run game or the Run in eleven personnel

467
00:20:36,119 –> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: type game, stretch game. Kingsley showed them the propensity to

468
00:20:39,160 –> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: do all those things. He’s rising. He is rising, Matt

469
00:20:42,480 –> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: and he continues to rise.

470
00:20:43,800 –> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: He’ll also play this entire season at twenty three years old.

471
00:20:46,800 –> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 2: We forget how young Kingsley is. And it’s easy when

472
00:20:49,720 –> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 2: a player doesn’t find success right away, to write him off.

473
00:20:52,760 –> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: Our coaching staff doesn’t do that, and that’s this is

474
00:20:54,840 –> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: an example of why it’s important not to do that,

475
00:20:56,840 –> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: because he’s obviously a very talented player.

476
00:20:59,040 –> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 3: Didn’t work out attack, well, let’s see what you can

477
00:21:00,920 –> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: do with guard.

478
00:21:01,680 –> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: And he didn’t mope or say no, I want to

479
00:21:04,080 –> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: play tackle or it didn’t go well.

480
00:21:05,880 –> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 3: My rookie year. He said, let’s figure this out.

481
00:21:07,920 –> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: Let’s attack this challenge, and I think he has a

482
00:21:10,080 –> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 2: chance to turn into one of the better guards in

483
00:21:11,840 –> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 2: the NFL. This is another misconception in general, is that

484
00:21:14,720 –> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: our offensive line isn’t very good. That’s like a national

485
00:21:17,040 –> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 2: thing that I keep hearing, and I don’t really understand it,

486
00:21:19,160 –> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: because I feel really good about our offensive line, particularly

487
00:21:21,680 –> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: when it’s healthy. You think left to right, you got

488
00:21:23,480 –> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 2: Josh Simmons, you got Kingsley Creed, Humphrey Tray Smith. And

489
00:21:26,720 –> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: then in an exciting battle right now at right tackle

490
00:21:29,200 –> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 2: with probably three players in Jayalen Moore, Spole and Khalil Benson.

491
00:21:34,040 –> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: Another player to know, undrafted free agent, a tryout player

492
00:21:37,400 –> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: actually from Indiana who’s looking good out here so far.

493
00:21:41,720 –> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: But anyway, I feel good about our offensive line, and

494
00:21:43,920 –> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 2: Kingsley is a big part of that. And it’s a

495
00:21:46,240 –> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 2: testament to our coaching staff and our player development staff

496
00:21:49,600 –> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: that they can have a player like this didn’t work

497
00:21:51,640 –> 00:21:53,880
Speaker 2: out so well at one spot, Let’s try him in here.

498
00:21:54,040 –> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: And so far, I think it’s been a major success.

499
00:21:56,720 –> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: And I think he’s only going to get better somewhere.

500
00:21:58,520 –> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: He’s going to get a Pro Bowl. Just I’m just

501
00:22:00,480 –> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: predicting it, putting it out there. This for you is

502
00:22:02,720 –> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: your tenth camp.

503
00:22:03,920 –> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 3: This is Camp number ten.

504
00:22:04,960 –> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: For me, Camp number ten. Man, how time flies. It’s

505
00:22:08,119 –> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: only my thirty third camp. But honestly, you feel like

506
00:22:12,359 –> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: a rookie again every year. It’s what I say to

507
00:22:14,400 –> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: the rookies during the summertime. You really feel like a

508
00:22:17,440 –> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: rookie in our cinder block freshman dorm man tend to

509
00:22:20,520 –> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: take you back. Yeah, we’re just camping. That’s all we’re

510
00:22:24,160 –> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: doing here. And thanks to the folks at Mosaic, who

511
00:22:27,080 –> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: is the official presenting partner of Chiefs Training Camp, we’ll

512
00:22:30,000 –> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: continue to camp on here and keep you updated. We

513
00:22:32,880 –> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: want to make you feel like you’re here every day.

514
00:22:35,440 –> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: He’s Matt McMullen. I’m Mitch Oltis just stay camping.
