1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,600 Speaker 1: The NFL has become a league always full of drama. 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: The world now loves the National Football League. Incredible games. 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: It's the best reality show there is. And then the 4 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: playoffs and then the Super Bowl. Oh wait a minute, 5 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: Then it's free agency. Then it's the draft, then it's 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: OTA's Then it's the schedule release, then it's many camps, 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: and then there's a nap. The NFL takes a nap. 8 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,600 Speaker 1: It is the plant shutdown. And that's where we're going 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: on this unique version of defending the Kingdom. And it's 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: all brought to you by Ticketmaster. McKinnon is in at 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 1: running back, first down and goal to go, play action, 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: fake right side doll, touchdown, dudes on city, hook Toal Hartman, 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: hook Toll Hartman? What the catch on the right side? 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 1: A three yard touchdown? Passing over time? How everyone? I'm 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: Mitchelta's voice of the Chiefs, along with senior team reporter 16 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: Matt McMullen. Okay, and Andy Reid's words. It's fast and furious. 17 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: It reaches a whole other level, and the playoffs and 18 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: a whole nother another level in the Super Bowl, and 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 1: then the off season really isn't off. It's just a 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: non playing season. But here we are in the NFL's 21 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,759 Speaker 1: version of a nap or plant shutdown. 22 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 2: And it's kind of a strange feeling, isn't it. 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: Really. 24 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: For the last two years we're going one hundred miles 25 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: an hour, like NonStop, and in the latest season, we're 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 2: going one hundred miles an hour since around mid July. 27 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 2: And then, like you said, we get to the Super 28 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: Bowl euphoria of all of that. Immediately after the Super 29 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 2: Bowl we're headed to the Combine, We're doing free agency stuff, 30 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 2: the draft happens, all the post draft stuff, recking mining camp, 31 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: OTAs manatory mini camp, and then nothing. Then just one day, 32 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: everything falls off a cliff. There's just nothing going on. 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: And it's this way for about three weeks until training 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: camp starts up in mid July. But got to try 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: to relax a little bit, right, enjoy this time, enjoy 36 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: the boredom of it all. Maybe we'll go on vacation, 37 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 2: because before we know it, we're right back at it. 38 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: And yeah, when the lights come on, man, it's just 39 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: like turning on a blast furnace. But it also gives 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: me a chance to give salute out to oh places 41 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: like the clay coma auto plant or the plan in 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: Fairfax where it never shuts down. There's three shifts going 43 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: all the time, right, it just every day becomes another day. 44 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: And then there's the times they have to shut it 45 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: down to do maintenance or whatever. Same thing with agriculture, 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: like they go, hey, you take a vacation when you're 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: in agriculture. Yeah, but somebody else has to do the work. 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: The work doesn't stop. As Andy Reid says so very well, 49 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: a farmer's work is never done. But that's the way 50 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: the NFL is until this time, and it's just this 51 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: brief respite. But we're going to dive in to how 52 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: you handle that. Also what we're excited about going into 53 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: training camp which will start very soon, and then maybe 54 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: our concerns going into training camp. But before we do 55 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: any of that, we're going to go off the rails 56 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: in this addition of defending the Kingdom, and let's start 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: by going around the world. 58 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: Yep, let's do it before we do one quick bit 59 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: if you really think about it, because of the seventeen 60 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 2: game season now in the super Bowl being a week later, 61 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: we just completed the two shortest off seasons for a 62 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: team in NFL history. We had the shortest one two 63 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: years ago and then just did it all again because 64 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: we played in the Super Bowl and won the Super 65 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 2: Bowl both years. So something else not easy to do, 66 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: to really have virtually no off season and then to 67 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: go do it again. But the Chiefs did it last year, 68 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: and let's go do it once again. Got five around 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 2: the worlds for you today. So I met Bird of 70 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 2: Hollywood Brown. Yes for Hollywood Brown, who were you're very 71 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,399 Speaker 2: excited about? Oh boy, Mitch and I watched OTAs we're 72 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: fired up about Hollywood Brown. 73 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. 74 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: But I met Burdo at a hardware store on Thursday, 75 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: So this is kind of funny. So I had some 76 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: friends come in town over the weekend and we redid 77 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: our basement. We don't spend a ton of time down 78 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 2: there though, Like it's finished, but I don't like use 79 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: the shower down there, right, and my friends are going 80 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: to stay down there. And I tried out the shower 81 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: for the first time and it's great, but it like 82 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: leaked quite a bit at the base. So I went 83 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: up to the hardware store to get like I never 84 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 2: really didn't know what I needed. Actually at the time 85 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: like some kind of celant to try to fix the leak. 86 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: And I walked in and Berto said, Hi, he didn't work. 87 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: There, but uh yeah, he huge fan. He's nothing good fellas. 88 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. 89 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: I don't think so. He's pretty young, so probably not. 90 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 2: It could be a descendant, but anyway, he immediately asked 91 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 2: what I was there for and then found someone to 92 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: help me get the ceilant. So shout out to you, Burdo. 93 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: I got it figured out. It's still kind of leaked, 94 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: but it was better than when it worked. Kind of okay, 95 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: kind of which I'll take kind of in this instance. 96 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: I met Nick at Jazzuo earlier this month.

And you 278 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: know who really gets the time that I love this 279 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: time of year because they never get time. And go 280 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: back to what it was about six weeks ago when 281 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: we did the one on the scouts. You did an 282 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: awesome job on that. This is the only time the 283 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: scouts really get you realize that pretty much. Yeah, cause 284 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: the coaches will have a week in like in February, 285 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: not the scouts. They're having a meeting the day after 286 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,839 Speaker 1: we have a Super Bowl parade. But this is the 287 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: time of year they get to shut down with their families, 288 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: and I'm so excited for them because, like bread Veach 289 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 1: and his crew, all right, nothing's happening, there's nothing you 290 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: can do, nobody else is doing anything else. Just shut 291 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 1: down and get ready to go. And the scouts are 292 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: about to get going. 293 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 2: I mean, their time off is really brief because they 294 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: scatter all over the country and they're going to They'll 295 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 2: be at training camp briefly, but then they go to 296 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: different schools all over the country and their regions, and 297 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: then we won't hear from them until December January. I mean, 298 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: they're doing reports, they're going to games, meeting the coaches, 299 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: forming relationships with the players, getting to know them. So 300 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: when maybe one or two of the guys in their 301 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: region is in the range where the Chiefs might draft them, 302 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: they'll know everything there is to know about that player. 303 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: And it's just incredible. It seems kind of obvious that 304 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 2: you'd have these guys dedicated to scouting all over the 305 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: country and they should have all this great information, but 306 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 2: these are human beings and not every team has the 307 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: scouting staff that we do. I mean, they're just incredible, 308 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: and just to talk to them and get to know 309 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: them a little bit at the combine earlier this year 310 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 2: was really really cool. My favorite thing is I saw 311 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 2: a few of them at the ring ceremony. And for 312 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 2: those guys that pour so much of their life into 313 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 2: a relatively thankless job, I mean their names. If you're 314 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: not one of the top guys in the front office, 315 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: a lot of fans don't know their names, but they 316 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: dedicate everything they have to finding the next George Carloftis 317 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 2: or Nick Bolton or Patrick Mahomes or whoever. They have 318 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: their fingerprints all over the back to back champions And 319 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 2: for them to experience the ring ceremony, to get their ring, 320 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 2: and to just enjoy it with everyone, to be a 321 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: part of the team together, not necessarily off wherever the 322 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 2: region is, it's pretty cool. So we appreciate all of 323 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 2: our scouts. The Kingdom appreciates them, and they're a big 324 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: reason why we're going for a three peete this year. 325 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: Unforgettable moment leaving Allegiance Stadium. We're going to the party, 326 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: right the postgame party, and I get on the bus 327 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: and I'm surrounded by all the scouts and it was 328 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: just an incredible moment because it's that what you were mentioning, 329 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: they got a chance to kind of see the fruits 330 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,240 Speaker 1: of their labor, and immediately then in the twenty four season, 331 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: we're going we're going for it again. We have a 332 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: shot at this of getting a three peat. So you 333 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: can screw up this time. If you're a player, that's 334 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: the exhortation from Andy Reid. You have to stay in 335 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: some semblance of shape because the way they end ota 336 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: is is fairly intense, and he's like, this is the 337 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: way we're going to start the time in Saint Joseph. 338 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: So we've seen players that get hurt actually during this time, 339 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: either lifting wrong or because their back in their home 340 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: areas with their families or with their own trainers and such. 341 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: And we've seen players stay honed, or we see players 342 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: that can kind of goof it up. So the coach 343 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: gives the message strong and then you let them go 344 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: and hope when they come back they're ready to go. 345 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 2: And there's really two elements to it. There's the physical 346 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: element and the mental element. So on one end, there's 347 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: no easing into it. There is on one hand, like 348 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 2: they're not wearing pads right away when they get to camp, 349 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: they're still kind of doing the ramp up into pads, 350 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 2: but in terms of the conditioning affected to be ready 351 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: to go on day one, which is July twenty first, 352 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 2: is the first day open to fans. That's the first 353 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: practice with all the players. The rookies will be there 354 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: a little bit before that, but on July twenty one, 355 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 2: they're expected to be ready to go. Conditioning wise, there's 356 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 2: no easing into it, so you got to make sure 357 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 2: you stay in shape. But also from a mental perspective, 358 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: their retention is a really big deal, and that's intentional 359 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 2: from coach Reid because when you're trying to figure out 360 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: who's going to make the team, part of that is 361 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: who could retain the information from OTAs in Many camp 362 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 2: and then carry that into training camp, because the first 363 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 2: few days of training camp are essentially a review of 364 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 2: OTAs in Many camp. But it's not meant to hold 365 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: their hand. It's meant to see who remembers what we 366 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,159 Speaker 2: did four weeks ago, and the players that do are 367 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 2: going to separate themselves. So it should be interesting to 368 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: see the mental and the physical component here in Saint 369 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 2: Joe in just a few weeks for some of these rookies, 370 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 2: udfas and players trying to make the team. 371 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: And some will fail the physical test and they get 372 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: to go to Camp Snoopy for a while. We'll swim 373 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: over and Snoopy getting ready to go. So those of you, 374 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: of our players are out there who are DTK followers, 375 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: just stay in shape and stay sharp mentally and get 376 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: after it. So we're gonna talk about here what excites 377 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: you about this team? And I'll give you what I 378 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: think excites me about the twenty twenty four season. I 379 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: speak a lot publicly across the country, as you know, 380 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: and I get asked all the time, all the time, 381 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: all the time. And yes, there's a real chance for 382 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: this team to make history. They can go back to 383 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: back to back. Oh yeah, And we're not saying that 384 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: to be arrogant. We're just telling you that if you 385 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: have seen what Matt and I have seen the last 386 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: seventy five to ninety days, it's there and it's going 387 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: to be hard. It's a long climb up the mountain, 388 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 1: but this team is poised to do it. So what 389 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: excites you most about this team while we're in the 390 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 1: plant shutdown, getting everything cleaned and polished and get ready 391 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: to go again. 392 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 2: Well, there's a lot of things I give you two 393 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: quick ones. So one is the added athleticism wide receiver. 394 00:18:55,680 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 2: Adding Hollywood Brown Xavier Worthy specifically is really exciting for 395 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 2: a bunch of reasons. 396 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: We could do a whole podcast on it. 397 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 2: But you add legitimate deep vertical speed that the defense 398 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: has to respect, but also the ability to run the 399 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: full route tree with those players. They're not just players 400 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 2: that can only run vertical routes, and we've seen that 401 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: throughout their careers as if you're worthy of course at 402 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: the hamstring injury during OTAs, but we saw it in 403 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 2: rookie mini camp and we certainly saw it with Hollywood 404 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: throughout OTAs that they can run that deep route, but 405 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: they can also run the underneath stuff with the best 406 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 2: of them. So those two receivers, just throwing them in 407 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: the mix with what CoA Tried already has here in 408 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 2: Kansas City is super exciting. In a smaller storyline, but 409 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: one that shouldn't be small is the return of Nazy 410 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: Johnson and Brian Cook in the secondary. So Nazy was 411 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 2: going to I think have a really nice season last year. 412 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: He looked great in training camp, had a real shot 413 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 2: to be a real contributor defensively, towards ACL happened right 414 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: in front of us. 415 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: Awful. 416 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: You know, a good player that's poured so much into 417 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 2: trying to earn a spot on this team, had really 418 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 2: been good on special teams, had a chance to play 419 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: on defense, got hurt. Well, he's back, working his way 420 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: back to the field. I'm excited to see what he 421 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,159 Speaker 2: can do. And Brian Cook as well. You know, I 422 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: love Brian Cook, one of my favorite players in this team. 423 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: I love them when he was at the University of Cincinnati. 424 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 2: Had that awful injury in Green Bay. But he's healthy now, 425 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 2: going to be ready to go hopefully for training camp. 426 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 2: This defense was so good last year and they've a 427 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 2: chance to be even better, I think because you're adding 428 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 2: two very young, dynamic players to the secondary who were 429 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: very excited. 430 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: About I'm with they. A'll tag on that the third 431 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: level of the offense is back open for business. We 432 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: saw that, you'll see it in Saint Joseph. The third 433 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: level is back open for business, and you've alluded to that. 434 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: The second thing is the tight end room to pick 435 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: up Jared Wiley from TCU is a big pickup. Noah 436 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: Gray is better, and then we know what Kelsey is 437 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: and what he can be That room of six dudes, well, 438 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: the Chiefs keep three four, we'll see, but that group 439 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: is Kelsey's best complimentary group he's had here, and that's 440 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: nothing against the other guys that have been here. Then 441 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 1: I'm with you. On defense, what we've been able to 442 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: see is I call it spegs Mary men of MANGI 443 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: mutts this defense could be really good yea, and be 444 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: even better than they were a year ago. And that's exciting. 445 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna throw in one because I wish we 446 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: could devote it entire We could devote two dtks to 447 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: This is the new kickoff rule, and you know, I'm 448 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: fired up about this. I started to dive into this 449 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: in the analytics. I really think I'm just gonna make 450 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: this quick. I really think the averages hold me to this. 451 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: The average start field position for any team in this 452 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 1: league with this new crazy kickoff rule, and folks, it's crazy. 453 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: It's weird to watch. Wait till you see it. You 454 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: ain't even thinking about it. When you see it, you'll 455 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: like flip out. I think the average start line of 456 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: scrimmage in the league will be somewhere like the thirty 457 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: one point two to eight yard line if the Chiefs 458 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: move up their starting average start of a drive at 459 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: that Last year, they scored fifty one percent of the 460 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: time they got the ball at the thirty or better, 461 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: seventeen touchdowns, sixteen field goals, and ten of those not 462 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: make it were kneel downs where they weren't trying to score. 463 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying the new kickoff rule, which I thought 464 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: could hurt the better teams in the league because it 465 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: could be an equalizer, which I still think it will be, 466 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: could really help the Chiefs even more than the NFL 467 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: world knows. Stay tuned well. 468 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 2: For the teams that figure it out. If you couple 469 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: that with having Patrick Mahomes at quarterback, it becomes a 470 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 2: massive competitive advantage. I mean, on one end, if teams 471 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 2: don't want to mess with it and they could get 472 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 2: out the back of the end zone that a touchback 473 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 2: now is at the thirty. 474 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: That's five more yards and I'm telling you the numbers 475 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: go way up. Matt. Yeah. 476 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 2: I mean it's a whole play that you're just giving away. 477 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: So you give Patrick Mahomes the ball at the thirty, 478 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 2: I like that a lot. Or if you take your 479 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 2: chances but if the Chiefs can figure it out and 480 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 2: be one of the better teams at it, they could 481 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 2: be starting at the thirty five, the forty even further. 482 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, just watching it in practice, it's funky, 483 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 2: Like it's gonna take some getting used to. And we 484 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 2: had a meeting earlier today with our preseason broadcast crew 485 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 2: trying to think of storylines, and it kind of hit 486 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 2: me like the kickoff is the storyline because it's the 487 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: first chance that fans are going to have to see it, 488 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 2: and it's just a little bit weird. If you watch 489 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 2: the XFL, you kind of saw it, but it's it's 490 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 2: not quite the XFL rule because one thing that makes 491 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: it unique it's not when the ball is necessarily fielded 492 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 2: that the coverage team can move. It's when the ball 493 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: hits the ground. That's a big difference from the XFL rule. 494 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 2: So there's so much strategy that goes into it, and frankly, 495 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: you don't really know what the strategy is yet. Like 496 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 2: you can try a whole bunch of different things in practice, 497 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: but until you try them in games, you don't really know. 498 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 2: So the preseason is going to be a great opportunity 499 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: to kind of test out what's going to work during 500 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 2: the year and what players are going to be back there, 501 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: and also on coverage. 502 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: The best thing to do figuring in this out is 503 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: throw a back door slider because hang time does not 504 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: matter anymore, No, not at all. Hangtime is not a factor, folks. 505 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: You're like, what it is not a factor because you 506 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: can't leave until they get it and if you give 507 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: them a returnable kick where they can catch it clean, 508 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: it's coming to the thirty five at least now. Think 509 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: about a twenty four to twenty game. I think it's 510 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: the most impactful rule change mebi in league history. I 511 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: thought two point conversion. We talked about this as we 512 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: watched it not so much. I just think this could 513 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: be the most impactful rule change in the history of 514 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: the NFL. Think about a twenty four to twenty game. 515 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: That would be our twenty four to twenty one game. 516 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: That's seven kickoffs in scoring, that's the start of the game. 517 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: That's nine kickoffs, which you count halftime, nine chances for 518 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: the game to be dramatically changed. Where up to this point, 519 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: or at least in recent years, it's a no play. 520 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: It's just on. It is on, and the teams that 521 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: get it figured out. I can find the kicker that 522 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: can kick a non returnable kick that is this kind 523 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: of crazy looking kick that lands in that twenty to 524 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: zero area. Then, because if it goes into the end 525 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: zone and they can't return it, it comes to the twenty. 526 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: That's best case scenario. So I'm telling you, folks, just 527 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: hang in there with us. We're going to fly through this. 528 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: But once you see it, you're going to go, oh 529 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: my gosh, what is this? So what concerns you about 530 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: this team as we go into camp? We will close 531 00:24:59,080 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: it out this way. 532 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 2: And say concern But I think there are areas that 533 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 2: we maybe need some answers or there's some competition at 534 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 2: and one of them would be left tackle. We don't 535 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: know who the left tackle is going to be right now. 536 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: The good news is we have two candidates who are 537 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 2: young and who have a ton of potential who are 538 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 2: kind of battling for that role. So right now it 539 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: would be between Janier Morris and Kingsley's Suamataia. Now, Wanier 540 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 2: had the four starts at left tackle late in the year, 541 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 2: and there was some really good stuff. There's some stuff 542 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 2: that he could learn from, but I think that experience 543 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: is invaluable. A great opportunity for him during the year, 544 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 2: during a playoff run or a lead up at least 545 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 2: to a playoff run, to compete against some really good 546 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: edge rushers. And he came in in a Packers game 547 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 2: as well when Donovan Smith got hurt in the middle 548 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: of a game at lambeau Field and played pretty well 549 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,640 Speaker 2: against some good edge rushers. So Janier Morris, it's weird 550 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 2: calling him, I guess a veteran his second year in 551 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 2: the league, but he has a little bit more experience 552 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 2: at the pro level. Then Kingsley had a lot of 553 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 2: experience under his belt that both left and right tackle 554 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 2: at BYUW. Kingsley's really young, He's twenty one years old, 555 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: but potential through the roof camp is a great chance 556 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 2: for both of those guys to separate themselves and to 557 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: show that they should be the left tackle for this 558 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 2: year and maybe for the future. You can't really evaluate 559 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 2: that during OTA's he kind of can. They can go 560 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 2: out there and do mental reps, they can work on 561 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 2: their technique, but when the pads aren't on, you can't 562 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 2: truly evaluate offensive linemen. So I think going into training 563 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: camp watching that left tackle battle on those days where 564 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 2: they're wearing pads, those are the days I'll really be 565 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: locked in on. 566 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 1: I think mine would be on the defensive side, of course, 567 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: Lugarious Steed replacement, which looks like and it's not a 568 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: one for one. Spags has a thousand new things, folks. 569 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: If you think you've seen it all, nope, Same with 570 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: Andy Reid. It's so exciting any Reid has been at work. Man. Yeah, 571 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: like the shortest offseason ever. Well for he and Spags, 572 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: they got a whole bunch more stuff you ain't seen. 573 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: And on the defensive side, it's not a one for 574 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: one for sneed, but Shamari Connor it's going to be 575 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: big for him too, and that's going to be something 576 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: to watch at camp. And then I would throw in 577 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: the third on back. Jeric McKinnon has been so impactful 578 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: for this team in these back to back Super Bowl championships. 579 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: He's the guy they faked too on the final play 580 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 1: of the game, right and Bosa's just reading him. He's 581 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: gonna jump on him because he's so good. Has been 582 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: so good in the red zone. The slide at the 583 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: short of the end zone in Super Bowl fifty seven, 584 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: So who is that third down back I think comes 585 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: to mind. And then finally would be the new kickoff rule. 586 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: It's also it could be a asset. He could also 587 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: be an equalizer. So now, all of a sudden, if 588 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: the other teams get this figured out and they put 589 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: you in a position where you have the best team, 590 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: but still of the nine kickoffs that could happen in 591 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: a game, they might do it better. So it's it's 592 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: so exciting and intriguing going into this year. 593 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,239 Speaker 2: And I think the way you have to look at 594 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: all of those things is not necessarily one for one replacements, 595 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 2: like you said, And it's an opportunity for new players 596 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 2: to maybe make their mark. And in the context of 597 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 2: lugeriusneed no longer being here and Jamari Connor maybe kind 598 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 2: of sliding into that slot role because Trent McDuffie's gonna 599 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: bounce outside most of the time. Now, Trent mcduffee was 600 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 2: the best slot corner in the NFL last year. He's 601 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: earned the opportunity to be outside. But who do you 602 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: put inside, Well, right now, it might be Jamari Connor. 603 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 2: You're not asking Jamari Connor to be LJ. Snead you're 604 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 2: asking him to be Jamari Connor and to help this 605 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: team win because of what he can add. And there's 606 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 2: certain elements of last season that really impressed me with 607 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: Chamari that give me a confidence he can do that. 608 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,399 Speaker 2: I mean, one hundred and forty five snaps out of 609 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: the slot last year, So he's done it. 610 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: That's good. It made some plays. 611 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 2: I mean, how about the pick against the Bills in 612 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 2: the regular season, huge play, game altering play in that one, 613 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 2: and also in the playoff game against the Bills. Played 614 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 2: seventy seven snaps in that game. He wasn't supposed to, remember, 615 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: Mike Edwards got hurt like on the second play, Jamari 616 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: comes in and if you look at Pro Football Focus numbers, 617 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 2: he was like the Chief's top graded defender in that game. 618 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 2: So Jamari showed some serious things last year and great chance, 619 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 2: a great opportunity for him in training camp to show 620 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 2: that he deserves to be a starter on this defense. 621 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: There's a lot on Chamorroi's plate. I talked to him 622 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: about it during OTA, so he goes, yeah, I kind 623 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: of was trained Ford at Virginia Tech. 624 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: Did a lot of Virginia Tech. 625 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, they did a lot of kind of different stuff 626 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 1: with him, so he came in a little bit ahead 627 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: of the curve. But I'm excited to see where that goes. 628 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: We're excited to get this all started. But hey, the 629 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: NFL needs a plant shutdown. The NFL needs a nap, 630 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: because once it gets going again, folks, oh my gosh, 631 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: hang on, it's gonna be awesome. He's Matt McMullen, senior 632 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: team reporter. I'm Mitchelt's voice to the Chiefs, and in 633 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: the meantime, I'm going to immerse myself into the Dave Campbell, 634 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: Texas High School Football Book.
