Speaker 1: we’re here sweltering in the heat in Saint Joseph, So
23
00:01:26,600 –> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: just a slow burn. It’s a dry heat and actually
24
00:01:29,200 –> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: it’s a wet heat. But anyway, we’re here and a
25
00:01:31,640 –> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: reminder whether we’re the Mosaic people have been terrific. They’re

00:01:43,840 –> 00:01:47,400

29
00:01:47,440 –> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: they do for all of the folks in this part
30
00:01:50,160 –> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: of the Chief’s Kingdom and a little bit beyond. So
31
00:01:52,160 –> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: they’ve been great here. So thanks to Mosaic for all
32

33
00:01:56,880 –> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: streams or a Defended the Kingdom podcasts. Okay, here we
34
00:02:00,520 –> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: are preseason game number one. A ar ahead. It’s going
35
00:02:03,400 –> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: to kind of feel like this Saturday afternoon at three o’clock,
36
00:02:07,400 –> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: but it’s time to play eight padded practices in a
37
00:02:10,080 –> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: ten day period. We saw the combination of stress, fatigue, anxiety,
38
00:02:16,840 –> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: testosterone all come and kind of bubble up and you’re
39
00:02:19,880 –> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: like it’s time to play.
40
00:02:21,760 –> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: Can you remember the last time we had four padded
41
00:02:23,760 –> 00:02:24,679
Speaker 3: practices in a row?
42
00:02:24,880 –> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: No? And it’s and then a day and then three
43
00:02:28,600 –> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: padded practices. No, I do not remember that.
44
00:02:31,520 –> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: To me, it kind of.
45
00:02:34,360 –> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: Pushes along the narrative that we’ve been talking about for
46
00:02:36,560 –> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: months now that coach read is hungry. My coach read
47
00:02:39,720 –> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: is like, what happened last year, We’re not letting that
48
00:02:41,520 –> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: happen again, and we’re maximizing every single second.
49
00:02:44,320 –> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: That we have out here. It’s brutally hot today.
50
00:02:48,320 –> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 3: It’s like a heat index over one hundred degrees, I think,
51
00:02:50,760 –> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: and the players are powering through it. It’s kind of
52
00:02:53,040 –> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 3: been like this the last several days. Not a padded
53
00:02:55,400 –> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: practice today, more of a mental day. But still you’re
54
00:02:57,600 –> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: out here, you’re running around in the heat, and you
55
00:03:00,639 –> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 3: mentioned it. I mean, eight padded practices in ten days.
56
00:03:03,400 –> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 3: That’s going to get the most out of the guys.
57
00:03:05,400 –> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: What’s always interesting about this time, we talk about it
58
00:03:07,880 –> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: every time we were out here at training camp, is
59
00:03:10,160 –> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 3: who is still making plays on the eighth padded practice
60
00:03:13,800 –> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: in ten days. It’s one thing to make plays in
61
00:03:16,520 –> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 3: shorts when it’s like seventy degrees and camp is just
62
00:03:18,960 –> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: starting and everyone’s feeling good and energized. But who’s still
63
00:03:21,480 –> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 3: making plays on days like this? And then who carries
64
00:03:24,240 –> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: that endo the preseason, all the guys have talked about this.
65
00:03:27,520 –> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 3: We’ve been up here for I think fourteen veteran practices now,
66
00:03:30,880 –> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 3: if you include the rookie days and rookie arrival Day,
67
00:03:33,360 –> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: this is day eighteen. A lot of hitting each other
68
00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 3: and going up against each other. Finally, on Saturday, after
69
00:03:39,320 –> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 3: what feels like the longest offseason in more than a decade,
70
00:03:42,000 –> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: the guys can play a different opponent and that’s pretty exciting.
71
00:03:44,720 –> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, in twenty one days if you count the days
72
00:03:47,440 –> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: that the rookies and the quarterbacks and injured guys report.
73
00:03:50,320 –> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: It not that we’re keeping track.
74
00:03:52,480 –> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: I don’t know what day of the week it is.
75
00:03:53,720 –> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: I just know it’s day fourteen, a veteran practice.
76
00:03:55,960 –> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: And there is a game Saturday whenever. That is yeah,
77
00:03:58,360 –> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: against the Rams. We have a checkli though, and this
78
00:04:00,680 –> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: is Matt and my checklist. This is not the teams.
79
00:04:04,800 –> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: This isn’t coming from coach or anybody else, but this
80
00:04:07,760 –> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: is basically looking at this team through OTA’s and mini
81
00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: camps and of course here in all those practices that
82
00:04:13,520 –> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: you documented so very well here in Saint Joseph. But
83
00:04:16,960 –> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: to me, it starts with the wide receiver. I’m not
84
00:04:19,040 –> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: sure there is a position group where the Rams game
85
00:04:23,040 –> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: on Saturday is more important than this group of fourteen humans.
86
00:04:27,040 –> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: There are fourteen wide receivers on this roster. When you
87
00:04:30,200 –> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: get down to the fifty three man roster, some teams
88
00:04:33,560 –> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: keep five. Six is about the number. Discussion about seven.
89
00:04:39,400 –> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: And we know about Rashie Rice and Xavier Worthy and
90
00:04:42,279 –> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: even Taekwon Thornton. Let’s set them aside. Okay, Now let’s
91
00:04:46,279 –> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: jump into the guys where Saturday afternoon becomes very important
92
00:04:49,520 –> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: for and I’m just going to list them here and
93
00:04:51,560 –> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: get your thoughts because Jalen Royals comes in too. Thought
94
00:04:55,160 –> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: here second year, right, Cyrus Allen back on the field
95
00:04:59,080 –> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: and cook and go at it. Then you look at
96
00:05:01,480 –> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: a Nico Remihio and then Andrew Armstrong, who we talked
97
00:05:05,560 –> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: about on the live stream if you want to go
98
00:05:07,320 –> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: back and find that archived. But those four guys, and
99
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: then we’ll get into the next group. It’s this’s a
100
00:05:14,360 –> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: big game for them to try to find. Hey, we’ve
101
00:05:16,760 –> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: got to make some decisions here quickly and that game Saturday.
102
00:05:20,200 –> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: How will they respond in the way that you just
103
00:05:22,839 –> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: put it. How will those four guys respond? Yeah?
104
00:05:25,400 –> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 3: I almost put Royals and Alan into their own little
105
00:05:29,400 –> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: group where they’re probably going to make the team. I
106
00:05:31,760 –> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: mean those are especially Allen coming off He’s a draft
107
00:05:34,960 –> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: pick this year and Royal’s a draft pick last year.
108
00:05:37,240 –> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 3: Probably going to make the team. But you still want
109
00:05:38,760 –> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 3: to see something from them in this game. Royals on
110
00:05:42,040 –> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: one end, didn’t play a whole lot last season due
111
00:05:44,360 –> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 3: an injury.
112
00:05:44,800 –> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: Well, now he’s healthy.
113
00:05:46,320 –> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 3: He’s had a couple of days in a row here
114
00:05:49,200 –> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: where he’s played pretty good football and had some strong
115
00:05:51,080 –> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: catches over the middle. Can you do that in a
116
00:05:52,720 –> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: game now? Because we know what he did at Utah
117
00:05:54,480 –> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: State like a really productive player there. Can you do
118
00:05:57,080 –> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: that now in a game and carry that into the season,
119
00:05:59,480 –> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: and can Patch Mahomes count on you and rely on
120
00:06:01,600 –> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: you during the year. I want to see him go
121
00:06:03,480 –> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: out there and have a big game on Saturday. And
122
00:06:05,480 –> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 3: with cyrah S. Allen was tearing it up early in
123
00:06:07,640 –> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: camp and was excellent in OTAs had the scary injury.
124
00:06:10,360 –> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: I mean, thank goodness he didn’t break his leg. Looked
125
00:06:12,360 –> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 3: pretty bad there for a minute. It was just a
126
00:06:13,839 –> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: bad bone bruise. He’s back out there now. If he
127
00:06:16,600 –> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: plays on Saturday, which I think he’ll play, we’ll see.
128
00:06:19,240 –> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: But if he plays, we’d love to see him go
129
00:06:20,800 –> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: out there and play well.
130
00:06:22,160 –> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: Two.
131
00:06:22,839 –> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 3: But if you take those guys and say, okay, they’re
132
00:06:24,880 –> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: probably part of that group with Rice Worthy and Thornton,
133
00:06:28,040 –> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 3: those are your five that are probably going to make
134
00:06:29,920 –> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 3: this team. Well, outside of that, if we keep just six,
135
00:06:32,720 –> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 3: who’s that sixth guy?
136
00:06:33,839 –> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: Is it Nico Romihio?
137
00:06:34,920 –> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 3: Who We know what he can do as a kick
138
00:06:37,400 –> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 3: and punt returner, We know what he can do in
139
00:06:39,760 –> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: that area. Does he have more of a role on
140
00:06:41,800 –> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: offense this year? Maybe we see that in Saturday’s game.
141
00:06:44,240 –> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: I don’t know.
142
00:06:45,120 –> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: Andrew Armstrong is a player that’s flashed throughout this camp,
143
00:06:48,000 –> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: and I think if you keep seven receivers, you kind
144
00:06:50,240 –> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 3: of say, hey, he might be that seventh receiver. But
145
00:06:52,400 –> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: can you keep seven is the question. We’ve kept seven
146
00:06:54,640 –> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: receivers three years in a row. Now kind of feels like, yeah,
147
00:06:57,720 –> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: they’ll just do that. But when you look at the
148
00:06:59,600 –> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: roster and other positions that you might want to keep
149
00:07:02,200 –> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 3: an extra guy compared to years past, Maybe it only
150
00:07:04,760 –> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 3: keep six, and that makes Saturday’s game a big deal
151
00:07:07,000 –> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 3: for those guys kind of fighting for that final spot.
152
00:07:09,200 –> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and quarterback enters that discussion because it’s always been
153
00:07:11,800 –> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks and now potential a third with Garrett Notsmayer,
154
00:07:15,720 –> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: and so that makes it really iffy to keep seven
155
00:07:18,680 –> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And this discussion, and this is why Saturday
156
00:07:21,840 –> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: is important. If you’re paying attention and watching Matt or
157
00:07:24,880 –> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: listening to me or maybe doing both, I don’t know,
158
00:07:27,160 –> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: throughout your day. Special teams in the wide receiver room
159
00:07:31,600 –> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: we don’t talk about enough on the live stream. We
160
00:07:34,360 –> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, even you and I are guilty of this
161
00:07:36,200 –> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: about all this. Throw it in there as a parenthesis,
162
00:07:38,360 –> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: parenthetical thinking no, no, no. Dave Tobe has mentioned publicly
163
00:07:42,880 –> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: and privately he wants to evaluate the guys that we’re
164
00:07:45,800 –> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: talking about here, Yes, because that will be the demarcation
165
00:07:49,760 –> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: line of who’s going to make this team keeping seven six,
166
00:07:52,760 –> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: five whomever they’ve got to contribute on teams, and not
167
00:07:55,920 –> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: just a returner like Nico Romihio, but a guy who
168
00:07:58,600 –> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: can be a gunner or a flyer or be a
169
00:08:01,240 –> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: four core teams player. That’s paramount. And they’re gonna get
170
00:08:04,440 –> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: They’re going to be on center stage Saturday being evaluated
171
00:08:08,000 –> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: in that area.
172
00:08:08,840 –> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 3: And that’s the thing, Like Andrew Armstrong might go out
173
00:08:11,840 –> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: there and have like five catches for seventy five yards
174
00:08:13,840 –> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: in the touchdown. Does he play on special teams? Can
175
00:08:16,400 –> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: he help us on special teams? Can he be a gunner?
176
00:08:18,520 –> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: That’s something I’ll be watching on Saturday for sure.
177
00:08:20,400 –> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: I’m same with Royals, some other guys I want to
178
00:08:22,680 –> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: mention here you can pipe in. Omari Evans has been impressive.
179
00:08:26,640 –> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: He ended his career at Washington but super fast. I
180
00:08:30,440 –> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: mean we’re talking for three type speed here and showed
181
00:08:33,679 –> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: up during the evaluation period of Senior Bulls and combines
182
00:08:37,360 –> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: piece won and then Jeff Caldwell, who has had a
183
00:08:39,840 –> 00:08:43,479
Speaker 1: lot of attention. But Amari Evans to me, will flash
184
00:08:43,520 –> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: and I’m curious to what he can do in this game,
185
00:08:46,080 –> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: probably in the second half.
186
00:08:47,320 –> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 2: Don’t forget Xavier Lloyd.
187
00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 3: Blue Springs High School played at both Miszoo and k State,
188
00:08:52,400 –> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 3: just missing KU there to have all the local schools
189
00:08:54,840 –> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 3: and then play for the Chiefs. I always love when
190
00:08:57,120 –> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 3: local kids get to go out there and play a game.
191
00:08:58,880 –> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: Mittrowhem for the chief So I think it’s so cool,
192
00:09:00,840 –> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: and he’s been pretty good in these practices actually, so
193
00:09:03,000 –> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: we’ll see what he can do. With you. On Evans, though,
194
00:09:06,160 –> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: before we came to camp, we did a pod talking
195
00:09:08,640 –> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: about that kind of quartet of undrafted free agent receivers
196
00:09:12,040 –> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: and who would really kind of pop during camp, and
197
00:09:14,280 –> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: Evans might be the leader.
198
00:09:15,600 –> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: In the clubhouse right now of that group.
199
00:09:17,920 –> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: He has that speed, we know that, but he’s also
200
00:09:19,760 –> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: just looked really strong at the catch point and made
201
00:09:21,640 –> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: some plays out here. So this is what the preseason
202
00:09:24,120 –> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: is for, is to go out there in a real,
203
00:09:25,640 –> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: live setting and to play a game and to show
204
00:09:27,640 –> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: that you belong at this level. And with a guy
205
00:09:29,559 –> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: like Evans, we talked about how it’s already kind of
206
00:09:31,960 –> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: jammed up there at the back end of the receiver room.
207
00:09:33,960 –> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: Even if he doesn’t make this team out of camp,
208
00:09:35,920 –> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: if you can sneak him on the practice squad or something,
209
00:09:37,920 –> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: could see him in week thirteen and he could make
210
00:09:39,960 –> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 3: a play. So we’ll see what he can do in
211
00:09:42,000 –> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: this game. But I’m with you, his speed is evident,
212
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: and I think he’s impressed me even more than what
213
00:09:46,440 –> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 3: I expected coming into this camp.
214
00:09:48,000 –> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: Totally agreed. Another guy’s Jacob Dehaes’s. You might see him flash. Yeah,
215
00:09:51,920 –> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: little dude about five five five six, number eighty, highly
216
00:09:55,679 –> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: productive in his time in the collegiate ranks. So I
217
00:10:00,840 –> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: just want to throw him out there as well because
218
00:10:02,760 –> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: he could make some electric plays. All right, let’s switch
219
00:10:05,360 –> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: to dB because after wide receiver, there’s so much there
220
00:10:08,000 –> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: that has to be determined. DB’s are kind of the
221
00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: same way, Matt. Yeah, we know the headline guys, and
222
00:10:12,720 –> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: Delane’s going to be this number six pick overall in
223
00:10:15,760 –> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: the draft. He’s the yellow jersey came off today today.
224
00:10:19,320 –> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: It was the biggest news we know about Fulton Noel Williams,
225
00:10:23,280 –> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: who’s been a special teams guy, but he’s been the
226
00:10:25,400 –> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: right corner in this camp since day one. We know
227
00:10:29,200 –> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: about those guys in the safety. It’s where you look now,
228
00:10:32,080 –> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: and I’m going to say slot corner. Slot corner. It’s
229
00:10:35,240 –> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: stacked up. There’s like four dudes there. And again this
230
00:10:40,080 –> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: goes back to the special teams discussion, because whomever’s going
231
00:10:44,360 –> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: to be the extra corners on this team has got
232
00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: to be a special teams contributor. But slot corner in
233
00:10:50,800 –> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: this game, Christian Roland Wallace is getting the ones, but
234
00:10:54,160 –> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: a guy like Jayden Kennedy, the rookie who finished his
235
00:10:57,080 –> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: career at Oregon but had some time at Ole Miss
236
00:10:59,240 –> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: and before that, he looks good. And then you got
237
00:11:02,040 –> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: a veteran like cater Cooho when you look at that,
238
00:11:05,520 –> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: so the slot corner position is one that I’ll be
239
00:11:08,960 –> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: paying attention to, and how that also relates to special teams.
240
00:11:12,080 –> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: It’s kind of funny how in years past it felt
241
00:11:14,200 –> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 3: like we didn’t really have many slot centric guys. We
242
00:11:16,960 –> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: more took a player like Chamari who’s a safety, and said, hey,
243
00:11:19,760 –> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: we’re going to put you in the slot. Really trying
244
00:11:21,520 –> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 3: to recover from not having Trim McDuffie in the slot
245
00:11:23,600 –> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 3: where he was so good for a couple of years.
246
00:11:25,960 –> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: We didn’t have that guy for a while, and now
247
00:11:27,559 –> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 3: it feels like we have a bunch of them and
248
00:11:29,120 –> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: probably too many to keep, which is a good problem
249
00:11:31,880 –> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: to have. You know, we’ve kept ten defensive backs for
250
00:11:35,000 –> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: the most part just about every year under Spags. I
251
00:11:37,600 –> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: believe we kept just nine last year. So you think
252
00:11:40,360 –> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: we’ll keep between nine to ten, maybe you keep an
253
00:11:43,160 –> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: extra one if you were able to work out that
254
00:11:45,520 –> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 3: roster math. But there’s some good players here that aren’t
255
00:11:49,000 –> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 3: going to make the team initially, and this is when
256
00:11:51,440 –> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 3: you figure out who the players that are going to
257
00:11:53,120 –> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 3: make it and be maybe that ninth, tenth, even eleventh guy.
258
00:11:56,400 –> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: We’ll see, but I’m with you, it has to be
259
00:11:57,640 –> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 3: on special teams. So whether you’re a guy like cater Who,
260
00:12:00,520 –> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: Kevin Knowles who flashed a little bit last year, Xavier Wampa,
261
00:12:04,080 –> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: exciting undrafted free agent at Iowa who’s done some good
262
00:12:06,559 –> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 3: things out year, I got like Melvin Smith who’s been
263
00:12:08,679 –> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: in the crockpot for a little bit. Yes, I want
264
00:12:11,520 –> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 3: to see those players on defense and what they can do,
265
00:12:13,640 –> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: but who can play gunner?
266
00:12:15,280 –> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: Who can go out there.
267
00:12:16,040 –> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 3: And play special teams and be a guy that’s going
268
00:12:17,640 –> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 3: to help Dave Toad because that’s how you make this
269
00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: team as a dB in that ninth, tenth, or even
270
00:12:22,200 –> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 3: eleventh spot. So I keep talking about this. I think
271
00:12:25,200 –> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 3: the ceiling is very high for this defensive back room. Now,
272
00:12:28,520 –> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 3: are there some question marks? So are there some incomplete grades? Yeah,
273
00:12:31,679 –> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 3: it’s fair. I mean we’re relying on guys that are
274
00:12:34,280 –> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 3: either in their first or second or third year to
275
00:12:36,080 –> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: go out there and have career seasons. But I feel
276
00:12:38,160 –> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: good about it. Because I believe in those players. They
277
00:12:40,280 –> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: got to go out there and do it. Though, if
278
00:12:42,120 –> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 3: they can all hit their potential, I think this group,
279
00:12:44,000 –> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: this room could be very deep. And it’s a good
280
00:12:46,000 –> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 3: problem to have when we’re talking about players that maybe
281
00:12:48,080 –> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: in past years would be a lock for the roster
282
00:12:50,640 –> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 3: and we’re like, I don’t know if they’re going to
283
00:12:52,320 –> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: make it, so we’ll see. But special teams, I’m with you,
284
00:12:54,640 –> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 3: is key for the back end of that room.
285
00:12:56,120 –> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: And it’s not a footnote map. This isn’t something that’s
286
00:12:58,600 –> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the page a reference. This is
287
00:13:01,000 –> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: a main paragraph in the middle of one of the
288
00:13:03,760 –> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: main chapters. We’ve got to find gunners on this team
289
00:13:07,000 –> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: and be really good, just like the More. It’s really
290
00:13:09,080 –> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: good behind us. You know you’re in camp when you
291
00:13:11,240 –> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: hear the more right.
292
00:13:12,440 –> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: Behind your camp ASMR. We’re sweating here, we hear the
293
00:13:15,880 –> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: mower here.
294
00:13:17,400 –> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: It’s NAT’s sound. That’s what we call that business. But
295
00:13:20,120 –> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: that’s a big deal there as far as the DB’s
296
00:13:22,600 –> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: and it goes back to discussion, hey, keep seven wide receivers. Well,
297
00:13:25,200 –> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: if you do that and keep three quarterbacks, you’re really
298
00:13:27,600 –> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 1: ripping off the dB room.
299
00:13:28,840 –> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: You can’t do it.
300
00:13:29,440 –> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: You can’t do it. It’s not there, and it’s crowded.
301
00:13:31,240 –> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: It’s good. And I’ll say this, people have looked at
302
00:13:34,400 –> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: me like a dog whistle just they tilt their head
303
00:13:38,320 –> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: and think I’m preposterous. I think this secondary is a
304
00:13:40,840 –> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: chance to be better in many ways, totally agree, much
305
00:13:43,440 –> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: better than last year total, much better because of the depth.
306
00:13:46,040 –> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 3: Because of the depth, because I really think we can
307
00:13:48,120 –> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: roll out there multiple lines of outside corners who can
308
00:13:52,559 –> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: go out there and compete and you feel good about it.
309
00:13:54,840 –> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: I mean, in years past, as good as the defense
310
00:13:56,559 –> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 3: has been when we’ve had injuries at times, the depth
311
00:13:58,720 –> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 3: has not been there. This year, even though you don’t
312
00:14:01,720 –> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: know for sure about everybody just yet, until they go
313
00:14:04,040 –> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 3: out there and play a game and show that they
314
00:14:05,720 –> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: can reach their potential, the depth I think is really there.
315
00:14:08,559 –> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: And having all those slot corners makes me feel so
316
00:14:11,200 –> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: much more comfortable with this defense because it allows Chamari
317
00:14:13,840 –> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 3: to play more traditional safety where I think he can
318
00:14:15,600 –> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: really play.
319
00:14:16,760 –> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: And having these slot guys is so.
320
00:14:18,520 –> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 3: Important in today’s NFL, where you’re out there in nickel, like,
321
00:14:21,760 –> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: what do you think seventy five percent of the time,
322
00:14:23,880 –> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 3: how often are we in base do you.
323
00:14:25,160 –> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: Think twenty five percent or least because you’re in dimes.
324
00:14:28,720 –> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: Some of that too. It’s almost like ten percent now
325
00:14:31,680 –> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: to twelve. He just depends on the opponent. Yeah, but
326
00:14:33,840 –> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: you just don’t play a lot of bass anymore. And
327
00:14:36,040 –> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: when people say three four four three, I’m like, oh, okay,
328
00:14:39,160 –> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: ten percent of the time. It’s a great point you make.
329
00:14:41,760 –> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: You can’t nickelbacks, cornerbacks or like pitching in baseball, you
330
00:14:45,920 –> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: can’t get enough. You need fifteen of them, like you
331
00:14:48,480 –> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: need them more right behind you.
332
00:14:50,600 –> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: I think he’s doing this intentionally.
333
00:14:52,040 –> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: Oh he is.
334
00:14:52,520 –> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 2: He’s definitely.
335
00:14:53,840 –> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: Travis Hogan is our incredible director of the grounds. He
336
00:14:57,000 –> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: has ordered him to be here right at the key
337
00:14:58,840 –> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: point of what we want to say. All right, we’re
338
00:15:00,560 –> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna touch on a couple more places into it quickly
339
00:15:02,440 –> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: and again Mosaic makes this possible the official presenting sponsor
340
00:15:05,800 –> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: of Chiefs Training Camp here at Missouri Western State University
341
00:15:09,120 –> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: in Saint Joseph Offensive Line. And I know this is
342
00:15:13,320 –> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: boring for most fans. You’re going to be at the
343
00:15:15,000 –> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: back to school barbecue or have everybody over and like, hey,
344
00:15:17,600 –> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: what’s going on as the Chiefs game going against the Rams?
345
00:15:20,560 –> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: You and I will be locked in and watching the
346
00:15:22,800 –> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: offensive line. Khalil Benson is first and foremost here. Not
347
00:15:26,920 –> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: sure how many reps you’ll get. He has gone playing
348
00:15:29,640 –> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: from right tackle to right guard and what happens then
349
00:15:33,400 –> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: after the first unit comes out, there’s guys like Mike
350
00:15:36,320 –> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: Kellyan Hunter, Norse, Ed, Peter Niagre, S Pole, those who
351
00:15:41,120 –> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: all entered this discussion. And so how will the offensive
352
00:15:44,720 –> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: line do against the talented Rams roster? And we’re not
353
00:15:48,560 –> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: going to see the studs, but Los Angeles just done
354
00:15:51,320 –> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: a very good job top the bottom of building really
355
00:15:54,600 –> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: some value in depth on their team and have now
356
00:15:56,840 –> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: for several years.
357
00:15:57,760 –> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Rams are going for it, and the Rams
358
00:16:00,680 –> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: frequently don’t play a lot of their starters in the preseason,
359
00:16:03,040 –> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: So we’ll see who our guys get to line up against.
360
00:16:05,240 –> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: But regardless, I’m with you, they have depth and the
361
00:16:07,320 –> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 3: competition will be good. With Benson, it’s so fascinating because
362
00:16:11,560 –> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 3: we’ve talked about this at length. He’s a undrafted free
363
00:16:14,280 –> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 3: agent tryout player that showed up to Ricky minniecamp among
364
00:16:17,120 –> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 3: seventy other tryout players, earned a spot on this team,
365
00:16:19,800 –> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 3: and now he has a real shots and only not
366
00:16:21,400 –> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: only make this team, but also be a starter for us.
367
00:16:23,480 –> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: Somewhere we don’t know.
368
00:16:25,080 –> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 3: The right guard thing is fascinating because Trey Smith has
369
00:16:27,480 –> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 3: missed the last week or so due to a hip injury.
370
00:16:30,000 –> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 3: Katried doesn’t seem too worried about it, doesn’t think it’s serious,
371
00:16:32,800 –> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: but Trey hasn’t been out there. So instead of playing
372
00:16:35,320 –> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 3: at right tackle, Benson has shifted to right guard. Where
373
00:16:38,360 –> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 3: is he playing this game? Will be at right tackle,
374
00:16:40,320 –> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 3: will be a right guard? Will he play both? I
375
00:16:42,560 –> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: think a lot of this is trying to figure out
376
00:16:44,520 –> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: what we have in Khalil Benson. Clearly he’s a talented player,
377
00:16:47,480 –> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: Clearly he has ability. Well, what can we do with him?
378
00:16:50,520 –> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: What is he capable of doing? This is the time
379
00:16:52,320 –> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 3: to figure that out. This is like a sandbox right now.
380
00:16:54,760 –> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: There’s no game planning going on for the game against
381
00:16:56,840 –> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 3: the Rams. Let’s put him out there and maybe at
382
00:16:59,080 –> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: multiple positions, see how he handles live competition at this
383
00:17:02,440 –> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 3: level and a good team at that. So I think
384
00:17:05,080 –> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 3: Benson will be one of the storylines, particularly early in
385
00:17:08,240 –> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 3: Saturday’s game, and how he handles it, and then how
386
00:17:10,440 –> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: does he handle coming back to camp, because that’s always
387
00:17:12,800 –> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 3: the trickiest part is training camp at ZA. Joe is
388
00:17:14,920 –> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 3: not done after this game. We have another week and
389
00:17:17,240 –> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 3: that’s kind of the hardest stretch of camp because it
390
00:17:19,119 –> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 3: feels like we’re done.
391
00:17:20,240 –> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: We’re not. You have to come all the way back.
392
00:17:21,880 –> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: Up here, go back to the dorms after playing a
393
00:17:23,760 –> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: game and do some more padded practices. I’m really looking
394
00:17:26,480 –> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: forward to watching him not only in the game but
395
00:17:28,840 –> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 3: also next week.
396
00:17:30,320 –> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: And it is actually Travis Hogan himself who’s mowing. This
397
00:17:33,520 –> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: is like Patrick Mahomes of Lawn Management, who’s like right
398
00:17:37,080 –> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: behind us. And do you notice that that’s a record.
399
00:17:38,960 –> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: That’s the closest the mower has ever been to us
400
00:17:41,480 –> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: in the history of defending the Kingdom of Training Camp. Yep.
401
00:17:44,200 –> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: So he was trying to break a record.
402
00:17:45,960 –> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: He was doing that.
403
00:17:47,040 –> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 2: He was giving us a hard time.
404
00:17:47,960 –> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 3: He’s like, you guys want to line up at the
405
00:17:49,160 –> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: fifty next time as being on my field right now,
406
00:17:51,240 –> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 3: and he’s reminding us eight.
407
00:17:53,000 –> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: No, He’s that’s his way of getting back really quickly.
408
00:17:55,440 –> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Close it out and it’s going to be running back.
409
00:17:57,359 –> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: Love this room. There are six running backs we know about.
410
00:18:00,080 –> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: K nine won’t play, but Richard Smith has improved. But
411
00:18:04,440 –> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: what we really want to see, at least I want
412
00:18:06,280 –> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: to see. And we know about a Mari de Marcado
413
00:18:07,960 –> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 1: being a veteran. Is Emmitt Johnson? Yeah, okay, I’m on
414
00:18:10,800 –> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: every day with the folks in Lincoln and Omaha and
415
00:18:13,320 –> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: they want to know about Emmitt Johnson. This game is
416
00:18:15,720 –> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: gigantic for Emma Johnson. He’s going to get snaps, He’s
417
00:18:19,240 –> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: going to be put in different positions. I don’t know
418
00:18:21,480 –> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: if they’ll put him on special teams, but there’s a chance.
419
00:18:24,240 –> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: Here we go again with the numbers. Four running backs
420
00:18:26,680 –> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: make this team and what’s Emmit Johnson’s role going to be?
421
00:18:30,160 –> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: He got reps today and with the once Yeah, so
422
00:18:33,520 –> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: this is a big game for Emma Johnson.
423
00:18:35,160 –> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
424
00:18:35,640 –> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: We know the talent that emmittt has and now he
425
00:18:37,560 –> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: has a chance to go out there and really show it.
426
00:18:39,960 –> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: I think he has an opportunity to be a great
427
00:18:41,960 –> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: part of an awesome running back room this season, but
428
00:18:45,440 –> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: in this game in particular, he has a shot to
429
00:18:47,240 –> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 3: be the guy. Get a lot of reps, a lot
430
00:18:49,640 –> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 3: of carries, a lot of touches, and let’s see what
431
00:18:51,960 –> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: he can do. It’s fun because the Cornhusker and Cincinnati
432
00:18:55,560 –> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: Bearcat fans know that Johnson played in the Kansas City
433
00:18:59,520 –> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: Classic between Cincinnati and Nebraska at Arrowhead last year, and
434
00:19:04,280 –> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: I asked him about it. I was like, do you
435
00:19:05,480 –> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 3: remember if you were in the home or the road
436
00:19:06,960 –> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 3: locker room. He’s like, we were in the road locker room.
437
00:19:09,160 –> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: Like the home locker room is a little bit nicer
438
00:19:10,840 –> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: than the road to one. I think you’ll we’ll prefer that.
439
00:19:13,400 –> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 3: But how cool is it that he was playing this
440
00:19:15,960 –> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 3: time last year in Arrowhead and had no idea that
441
00:19:18,880 –> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 3: he’d end up here again a year later and he’s
442
00:19:20,920 –> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 3: playing with an Arrowhead on the side of his helmet.
443
00:19:22,880 –> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 3: Same thing for Cyrus Allen and Deshaan Singleton safety from
444
00:19:26,200 –> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 3: Nebraska last year now on this team as a UDFA,
445
00:19:28,680 –> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: and Alan obviously played at Cincinnati last year. Jeff Caldwell too.
446
00:19:33,400 –> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 3: You know, I didn’t look up if you played in
447
00:19:34,600 –> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 3: that game or not.
448
00:19:35,080 –> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: I bet he did.
449
00:19:35,800 –> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: But either way, a lot of guys that were part
450
00:19:37,640 –> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 3: of that game are now a part of the Chiefs
451
00:19:39,600 –> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: and going to play in this game.
452
00:19:40,920 –> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: I think it’s so much fun.
453
00:19:42,080 –> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 3: And we had a production meeting with Emmett yesterday before
454
00:19:45,080 –> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 3: the preseason broadcast team got together and he’s just awesome.
455
00:19:49,080 –> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 3: I love his personality. I love his entire energy, his vibe.
456
00:19:52,320 –> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: He’s hungry and he’s ready to show what.
457
00:19:53,720 –> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: He can do. Yeah, and he went for a buck,
458
00:19:56,600 –> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: went over one hundred in that game. He went for
459
00:19:58,280 –> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: one o eight. I believe spin productive already on the
460
00:20:01,359 –> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: airhead field. Okay. Camp is about survival. It’s about surviving
461
00:20:06,160 –> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: the heat. I know you don’t feel sorry for us.
462
00:20:08,160 –> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: It’s also surviving the humidity. It’s also surviving the blades
463
00:20:12,720 –> 00:20:16,879
