But this is our last look 27 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: at the position group we've taken two months and looking 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: at this Chiefs team coming off the Super Bowl fifty 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: four championship and looking ahead to twenty twenty, considering the 30 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: protocol we're in and before we roll into everything shop, 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: You and I, our families both feel the same way. 32 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: Just prayers up and continue to keep the faith and hope, 33 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: stay stay at home, follow the protocols and we'll get 34 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 1: this whipped. But we've just kind of kind of stay 35 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: on it so and we'll keep living by faith. But 36 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: we're going to jump into the wide receiver Corps. Now. 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: Every week I've warned some attire to represent the group 38 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: that we're talking about. Remember how the Tuskegee Airman going on? 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: And well today it's the old track warm up. And 40 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: don't laugh, dog, because this is when I won the 41 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: four by two in the JV relays running the two 42 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: leg So to give me some, you know, give me 43 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: some you know, some love here and some grace, But 44 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: here's what happened because this Chiefs team, here's what's happened. 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: This Chiefs team is a four by one relay team 46 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: with an alternate, and the alternate can run in the 47 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: four by two, and whoever done running the four by 48 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: two can run in the medley relay and we're gonna 49 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: win all three and get thirty points in the track meet. 50 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: Because here's what happens. When you put a track team 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Here's what happens. You get a super 52 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: Bowl championship. Okay, So that's where we're at with this 53 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: wide receiver cord. Because welcome to this podcast Defending the Kingdom, 54 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: because it is going to center on the legion of 55 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: Zoom a man speed demons is something is a term 56 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: and phrase, the leading of Zoom, the leave it legion. 57 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: Those guys have redefined it. I've followed my man jet 58 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: Nicole Harman on Twitter a little bit. I saw he 59 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: got into a Twitter battle with one of the track 60 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: guys back in Georgia about who's the fastest, about who 61 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: would beat who, and basically told him it's a difference 62 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: between track speed and football to be and anybody who's 63 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: played the game of football and rand track. No, that's 64 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: a completely different um pace of the game. To be 65 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: able to cut, change director, to be able to exit 66 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: football player as opposed to run straight line speed. But 67 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: we do have a core of wide receivers who I 68 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: think you put a baton in their hand and they 69 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: could give any college track team or run for their money. 70 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: That straight line speed is amazing. When when we when 71 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: we stretch the team vertical, it opens up all kind 72 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: of underneath things for Kelsey and our running backs. But 73 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 1: we did the fastest when you talk about four or 74 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: five receivers in the league, when you talk about the 75 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: wide receiver room the Cancing Chiefs, let's just talk about 76 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: the results of these guys. Last year alone, thirty plus plays. 77 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill had nine eight in the regular season and 78 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: he missed twenty three quarters. Okay, that's ridiculous. In his career, 79 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: he's had nineteen fifty plus plays. Now, let's go right 80 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: down the line. Watkins had six thirty plus plays, three 81 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: in the regular season, three in the playoffs. McCole Hardman 82 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: had seven thirty plus plays all in the regular season. 83 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: D Rob had three thirty plus plays all in the 84 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: regular season and between these guys throw in Pringle now 85 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: who had over one hundred yards receiving against the Colts. 86 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: D Rob had one hundred yard big game against Oakland 87 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: at one seventy two. Watkins had one in the playoffs 88 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: against Tennessee at one fourteen, the one ninety seven against 89 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Tyreek Hill missing all that time, still had 90 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: two in the regular season of one hundred yard receiving 91 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: games and one hundred and five game in the Super Bowl, 92 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: including the wasp of forty four yards. I mean, this 93 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: is just a big play team that terrifies opponents. And 94 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: every one of these cats can hit you for a 95 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: home run on every snap. What does that do to 96 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: a defense playing against them? Man? What it does? It 97 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: puts you on your heels. It puts you so you're 98 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: not confident. Down after down, series after series, you feel 99 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: like you got control of the game, you feel like offensively, 100 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: we got them where we want them, and then all 101 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: of a sudden, sixty six out of the gate, it's 102 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown, and before you know what, you give up 103 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: three big plays and you're going at halftime and it's 104 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: twenty one points on the board and you feel like, 105 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: except for those three plays, you've played twenty snaps of 106 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: really good the football, but you're behind the eight ball 107 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to the scoreboard. So those type of 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: big play capabilities, that big play scoring opportunity that the 109 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 1: Chiefs offense and the wide receivers have been able to 110 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: take advantage of it loosens the defense up. And even 111 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: when you're playing sound defense, when you look up at 112 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: the scoreboard, it's totally demoralized. It's disheartening. You're going at 113 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: halftime and you're starting talking what are we gonna do differently, 114 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do to change it up? We can't, 115 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: we can't give up another twenty one points. But ninety 116 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: percent of the snaps have been great defense. It's it's 117 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: it is amazing how to message with your mentality when 118 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: you give up the big play. And we'll throw in 119 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: their six wide receivers right now on the Rustic seven. 120 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Because Felton Davis is on there and I'm not counting 121 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: Jody Forts and he's listed as a wide receiver. He's 122 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: really this kind of wide receiver tight end combo. Go 123 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: back and look at the Defending Kingdom archive on the 124 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: tight ends and you'll get some Jody forts and comments here. 125 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: And by the way, congratulations to Garret Dieter on this roster. 126 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: A new baby girl for him and Meg. So yeah, 127 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: this just happened, man like day before yesterday or yesterday. 128 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: So fresh news. They're a new baby girl for the 129 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: Dieter family. But of the two thousand and six hundred 130 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: and ninety six regular season receiving yards, two thousand, six 131 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety return for twenty twenty only the six 132 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: yards from d Anthony Thomas is all that is not 133 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 1: coming back. And for this group again exciting because I 134 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: think there's an upside to every one of these guys. 135 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about Tyreek Hill. First, the Cheetah. 136 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: We know that he is going to win the one 137 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: hundred open plus anchor the four by one. Sorry McCole, 138 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: you can run number one. That's just where we're at 139 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: right now. But Tyreek Hill, in his route running you 140 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: go back and watch the Wasp. That route is awesome, 141 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: he reminds me, and he and I have had personal 142 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: talks about this, and I just love it where he's 143 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: going with his mind because he wants to jump to 144 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: the next level. But you remember Antonio Brown, and his 145 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: prime was almost uncoverable. Well, now you take his speed 146 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: and an Antonio Brown or a Marvin Harrison kind of 147 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: guy and running routes man, he is almost impossible to 148 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: cover mid range, mid range, deep range because of his 149 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: route running ability. Yeah, it's one of those the scenarios 150 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: that it works so well in Andy Reid's offense. It 151 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: works so well when you have a quarterback as accurate 152 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: as Pat Mahomes, because you can't you can't outrun Pat's 153 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: arm sometimes with a certain receiver because they're so fast. 154 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: If the quarterback doesn't throw it by the third or 155 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: fourth step, what a receivers outrun the quarterbacks arm when 156 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback throw it only fifty or sixty yards. But 157 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: we can use Cheetah sometimes as a third option on 158 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: the go route because Pat's arm is so strong. Usually, 159 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: when you're defending a guy with top end speed, if 160 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: the quarterback isn't looking his way beyond ten yards, you 161 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: pretty much know the quarterback ain't gonna get to him 162 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: all he or at least he's not gonna utilize his 163 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: top end speed. But with our offense, we can look 164 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: at Sammy Why we can look at Travis Kelsey, and 165 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: then we can have Cheetah on the back end of 166 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: a play, on the backside running a goal route. Pat's 167 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: arm is strong enough, as we saw in the preseason 168 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: game when he threw it about sixty or seventy yards 169 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,079 Speaker 1: of air distance, that those kind of throws are just 170 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: they're uncalled for. There, they're unbelievable, and when you're playing defense, 171 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: you just you can't believe somebody can't actually throw the 172 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: pigs can that long, that far, with so much velocity 173 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: and accuracy that it surprises you on all three levels. 174 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: But the cheat has taken pride in his route running here, 175 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: running routes like he does not have four two speed, 176 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: And that's what I love about him, all right now, Watkins, 177 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned him. So the other thing that's just with 178 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: the upside of these guys of like I get asked 179 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: a lot, whether it's on social media or just on 180 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: other shows, is what's the next step for these guys? 181 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: And for Ty, I'm just saying maybe availability. He missed 182 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: twenty three quarters last year. I mean, that's four games 183 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: the dude missed. And if he's just if he's there 184 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: for sixteen games or how many, we're gonna play this year. 185 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: I mean, just imagine the production that goes up just 186 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: by him being available in those games. Yeah, looking at 187 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: the social media, you can tell he's a he's a muscular, 188 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: high strung guy, right, He's he's put together, like like 189 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: we said, a pound for pound, one of the strongest 190 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: receivers in the league. But when you add his speed 191 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: as quickness, is that the media change of direction. They 192 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: are a route backyard routes that this guy can run 193 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: that are going to be uncomfortable on so many levels. 194 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: And then we talk about that playmaking ability, the vertical leap, 195 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 1: the hang time when balls are fifty fifty balls. It's again, 196 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: we say it over and over again, he's unguardable one 197 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: on one. He's always going to have a safety, help 198 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: safety over the top, and that's gonna make our running 199 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 1: game even that much more potent, and all the underneath 200 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: stuff to Kelsey and so we we we always have 201 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: noticed that the cheetah is so so dynamic, but that 202 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: just plays a play. It plays apart and continuing the 203 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,319 Speaker 1: evolution of our wide receiver corps because you go from 204 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: a cheetah with top end speed to a jet with amazing, 205 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: outstanding boom speed. And now you start talking about Sammy Watkins, 206 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: his experience, his athleticism, his range, his catch radius. He 207 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: has amazingly big strong hands and then after the catch, 208 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: all of these guys usually make the secondary look a 209 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: little bit embarrassing. But on Shammy's coming back, as we know, 210 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: and it got that contract, you know, change to help 211 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: the Chiefs with the Shalary cap situation. As Shammy had 212 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: the incredible game against Jacksonville, but in the playoffs. Now 213 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: in five playoff games with the Chiefs, thirty four targets 214 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: and only four receptions. You look what he did in 215 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, three thirty plus plays in the 216 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: playoffs and the Tennessee game, the sixty yard touchdown, one 217 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yard catch. We know about beating Richard 218 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: Sherman in the Super Bowl. But if Sammy Watkins can 219 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: be if we just get a little bit of Jacksonville 220 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: and a whole lot of the postseason with Sammy Watkins, 221 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: look out because there's another level for him. Like you said, 222 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: availability for the Cheetah and consistency from Sammy Watkins. Those 223 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: are the two things that if there's a way for 224 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: this receivering core to even get better with only six 225 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 1: yards not coming back, you say, how can this group 226 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: get better? Number one? Like you said with the Cheetah, right, 227 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: it's being available. And then with Sammy Watkins like you're saying, 228 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: it's just creating a consistent contribution weekend and week out, 229 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: but not making sure we don't lose playoffs. Sammy, if 230 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: you give me one or the other, as long as 231 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: he's available, come to postseason to give us that playoff, 232 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: push that experience, and take us over the top. I 233 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: think that's the most important part. And that's exactly why 234 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: he came to Kansas City to be a playoff a 235 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: big play guy when it mattered the most, and all 236 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: the Kingdom people said amen. They also said amen to 237 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: d rob coming back. DeMarcus Robinson the sneaky guy on 238 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: this relay team. When you look at his big play potential. 239 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he had the one seventy two explosion against 240 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: Oakland last year in Week two, but he will come 241 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 1: up with the key plays. De rob had a forty 242 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: four yard or forty three yard or thirty nine yarder, 243 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: and DeMarcus Robinson two becomes convey the underneath guy. He's 244 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: a perfect compliment to the first two guys we've talked about. Yeah, 245 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: de rob is very consistent. If you wire during training camp, 246 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: I've seen anybody inches away from a jugs machine catching 247 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: the ball with only fingertips. He has such strong hands 248 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: that makes him such a great possession receiver. And even 249 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 1: when he has a couple of drops, I think that's 250 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: one of the things that's so surprised. He beats himself up. 251 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: He's such a demanding a competitor about his own capabilities. 252 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: He was probably the only receiver on our roster that 253 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: could have made that one handed air joy and catch 254 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: against the Raiders, And in that game, we were fighting back, 255 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: we were fighting back, and we scored so many points 256 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: in that second quarter to put that game out of reach. Well, 257 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: Dee robs one handed air Jordan catch was one of 258 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: the marquee moments of that game that lands that turnaround. 259 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: And if there's a guy I'm really excited about for 260 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: next year, it's McCole Hardman because I think the upside 261 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: for him is enormous. You look at what he did 262 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: last year though no one hundred yard receiving games, but 263 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: seven thirty plus catches, and you look at the big 264 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: plays that he made not just from scrimmage downs, but 265 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: the kick return against the Chargers turned that game around 266 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: one hundred for four yards in Week seventeen, and then 267 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: his fifty eight yard punt return. Guy everything started against 268 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: on that great comeback against Houston. It was twenty four nothing. 269 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry when he got a fifty eight yard kickoff return. 270 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: But then you look at his play against Baltimore we 271 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: had on the watch party eighty three yards. I mean, 272 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: you talk of a guy who could go to another 273 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: level and route running and understanding and follow that same 274 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: path that's Tyreek Hill. Look what happens if he follows 275 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: on that same track with the Cheetah of what the 276 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: Jet can do next year and the years beyond. I 277 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: think that one of the plays that stands out to me, 278 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,599 Speaker 1: and referring back to the Cheetahs, when he ran that 279 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: deep stop against the Patriots and went down the sideline 280 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: and ran away from everybody. We realized, when a guy 281 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: has top in that next level speed and they can 282 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: kick it into a seventh gear and run away from 283 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: a defense, we can run stop routes that can score 284 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: as easily as a goal route. So now it adds 285 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: a whole different demeanor and a whole different philosophy to 286 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: what you have to guard. You have to guard the 287 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: deep and you have to guard the stop. And then 288 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: you bring in McCole McCole Hartman and watch his stopping 289 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: goal capability, his return ability, his ability to make people 290 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: missing a small space once he divides that seam of 291 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: the defense. Like you said, against that Ravens team, when 292 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: he caught that slant stop and it took off in 293 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: a vertical path, there was nobody around it could catch 294 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: up with him. He ran away from a really good 295 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: Ravens defense. In that kind of capability allows a whole 296 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: other set of routes to be added to what can score. 297 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: When you talk about every play has the ability, every 298 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: play has the ability to be a scorn play when 299 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: you talk about what the Chiefs are doing on offense. Crazy. Now, 300 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: another guy I'm excited about is Byron Pringle, who's the 301 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: fifth of these guys are right, who have played last 302 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: year and got the snaps? What did Pringle do? Makes 303 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: the big kickoff coverage play in the Super Bowl. He 304 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: also has the hundred yard receiving game against the Colts, 305 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: and he saves the day against Detroit that might be 306 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: going to overtime. He makes an incredible catch with a 307 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: tight window, getting a bullet from Mahomes and takes a 308 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: shot from the Detroit defensive back and moves forward told 309 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: the goal, not backwards. Pringle's got a chance to jump 310 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: up as well as Hardman like two notches on this team. Man, 311 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: when you have a fifth guy with that type of 312 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: tenacity and that type of grit and that type of 313 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: hunger to get on the field, it can do nothing 314 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 1: but push the guys ahead of him to be even better. 315 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: And so when you talk about what is the enemy 316 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: of being a good core is the fear of being great, 317 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: And what's the enemy of being a great core is 318 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 1: the fear of being elite. And we're talking about not 319 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: on the individual basis, as a unit, and you're only 320 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: as strong as the weakest link. And nobody in that 321 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: room wanted to be considered a weak link. And so 322 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: he's working as hard is the top four guys. He's 323 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: not taking a back seat to anybody. You give him 324 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: a snap on the field, and Byron Pringle will make big, 325 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: big returns on your debit ends. All right, that's a 326 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: long first quarter of this edition of Defending the Kingdom. 327 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 1: Looking at the fast wide receiver corps in the NFL, 328 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: winning the four by one, the four by two, and 329 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: the Medley relay to get thirty points in the AFC 330 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: West Track. Mate, Now we're going to go on the 331 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: second quarter. Is what I think Andy Reid requires in 332 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: these guys and any receiver that plays for him. And 333 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take these a couple out of time. The 334 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: first one or two at a time. Here every route 335 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,679 Speaker 1: can be your route. The second one is understand the 336 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: big picture. Andy Reid is brilliant. When I get a 337 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: chance to talk to him about the geometry of the game, 338 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: how he creates triangles and angles to get guys open. 339 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, I mean, who am I talking? This is 340 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: Dukes Einstein. But to get guys to understand the angles 341 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: of the field, the geometry of the field, and then 342 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 1: also understand in this offense with this quarterback, every route 343 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: is your route. Now some might think, well, that's just basic. No, 344 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: it's not. If I call a three I got a 345 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: three number route, I got a two forty three route. 346 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: Y under then that means hey, you're running the two route. 347 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: You're the second guy. You're running the four route, you're 348 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 1: the primary guy on that, not with this. So it's 349 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: these receivers. Every routes's you're route and understand the geometry 350 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: of Andy Reid's offense. Yeah, every receiver understands. Even if 351 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: the initial play the first three steps, the first, second, 352 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 1: and third read are not available, they have a quarterback 353 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: who can create extra time, and not only create extra time, 354 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: but has an arm big enough to it's an unlimited 355 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: target the area. When we talk about defenses trying to 356 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: be top down, most defenses shrink as the play go 357 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: on and on. As I say, they call it a 358 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: glue technique. When the quarterback starts to scramble, you find 359 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: somebody in your area and you start to stick towards them. 360 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: You want to glue toward them. Well, when you don't 361 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: have as down field thirty and forty yards, or you 362 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: don't have the arm strength to throw at sixty yards, 363 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: it creates a certain boundary that the defense no longer 364 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: has to guard and so they can start coming up, 365 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: start to shrink the field. When you talk about vertical seams, 366 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: they shrink the field and started to make it tougher 367 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: and tougher for you to throw the ball. My Home's 368 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 1: deep ball is always active. He always has the green light, 369 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: and so it keeps those deep safeties deep and that 370 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: creates those vertical angles and scenes. But other routes to 371 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 1: start to uncover even when they're not playing to So 372 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: you stay, You run the routes. You understand the angles, 373 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: and you also understand who's guarding you in those angles. 374 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: Late in the dawn, you realize if there's a linebacker 375 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 1: trying to glue towards a wide receiver a slot receiver. 376 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: But that's a win for us. And if we give 377 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: it Pat enough time to find that bitch man, I'm advantaged. 378 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,959 Speaker 1: Chief the only way you make him pay, but he 379 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: has the accuracy to make it not just the first down, 380 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: but sometimes a touchdown. All right, the next two characteristics. 381 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 1: If you're gonna play wide receiver for Andy Reid in 382 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: this offense, there's one playing with mahomes that you're catching 383 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: Max Scherzer, okay, because the arm angles are coming from 384 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 1: all over the place. Or the next pitch might be 385 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: a Raldish Chapman because it might be coming at one 386 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: hundred and five miles an hour. You got to play 387 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: with the goat. You're drinking goat milk every day because 388 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: you're with the goat every day. The second part of 389 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: get your thought on it is in Andy Reid's offense, 390 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: and I've had a lot of talks with him about this. 391 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: You've got to know all three positions. Well, I'm an X, oh, 392 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: I'll know, I'm a z H, I'm a slot or 393 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: I'm a you know F No, you're all of that. Okay, 394 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: You've got to understand every position. And that's why having 395 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 1: these guys and the continuity where they understand this offense 396 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: where Sammy can play an X or is he any 397 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: one of these guys can play any of the positions. 398 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,160 Speaker 1: What about having because I'm to look at these young 399 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: guys now we're gonna transition after halftime to look at 400 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: these young guys in this draft. Well, in this offense, 401 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 1: you got to play with mahomes. That means something crazy, 402 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen or good, but you're better have your 403 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: catcher's met out. And then two, knowing that you've got 404 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: to can play all three positions or four, yeah, and 405 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: playing awful positions. It's not only knowing what to do 406 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: when you line up at X or at wow a Z, 407 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: but also understanding on a certain route how that route 408 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: uncovers laid in the downs, because if you don't know 409 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: how the X and the Y or the X and Z, 410 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: or if you don't know what they're doing on a route, 411 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: then you don't know where you're opening is going to 412 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: be as the Z, and so you have to you 413 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: have to know what everybody is running, and then you 414 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: also have to know how that individual receiver, whether it's mcole, Hardman, 415 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: whether Sammy Watkins or Cheetah, what is their tendency when 416 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: a play breaks down? Do they break vertical? Do they 417 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: break to a sideline? Do they stop in the hole 418 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: that allow for you to break fifteen yards behind and 419 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: that whole stop, Or if you know that McCole is 420 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: going to the sideline, then you break deep off of him. 421 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: Or if you know Cheetah's gonna go out and up, 422 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: then you run across the field and stop. All of 423 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: those things work in complimentary of one another to create 424 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: such a dynamic that I think there's some defensive coordinators 425 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: who would rather us throw the ball get it out 426 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: our hands than ever attack and pressure mahomes because they're 427 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: so scared of what the entire receiver corps does to 428 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: them once a play does break down, so they try 429 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: to play super soft, make us stow the ball in 430 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 1: front of them. Then they have a chance to swarm attack, 431 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: try to strip the ball out because if you try 432 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: to get pressure my homes he gets out of that 433 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: pocket and extends the play. Man bombing Betty. Those deep 434 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: threats come open and we know it's doesn't matter down 435 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: a distance, doesn't matter position on the field. The final 436 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: two and maybe my most favorite non Chiefs duo receiving 437 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: would have been Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne of the 438 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Colts in the Colts Hey Day with Peyton Manning like 439 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: late two thousands. Because this next category gets me. But 440 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: these these five guys we talked about fitted playing in 441 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: the two minute, playing in the red zone, and unselfishness. 442 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: Think about it. There were four of these five that 443 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: had one hundred yard receiving games all right. One ninety 444 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: seven for Sammy, one seventy two for d Rob, one 445 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: forty in the Minnesota game for Tyreek Hill, one h 446 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: three in the Colt game. Four Pringle and Hardman didn't 447 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: have one, but he had all these great catches in 448 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: eighty three ardor you got to be unselfish. All right, 449 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: you aren't gonna win the fantasy league. Maybe if that's okay, 450 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna win the reality league and have confetti on 451 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: your head. And two, you've got to understand how do 452 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: I play in the two minute and how do I 453 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: play in the rug zone? Because I can't set and 454 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: stop and go what are we gonna do? Sometimes that 455 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: is shirts and skins. Man, you gotta know how the 456 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: game situation. It forces you to evolve as a player. 457 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: You have to know how to handle game situation, big moments. 458 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: If you're gonna be on a on a on a 459 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: roster with a quarterback like my Homes, with a with 460 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: the with the head coach like coach Read, you know 461 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be in some of the biggest game. You're 462 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: gonna be in prime primetime games. You're gonna be I 463 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: mean the biggest lights um not only the playoff from 464 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: post season, but the Super Bowl. It's how you arise 465 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: and how do you rise up in those moments They're 466 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: gonna signify your career. So you talk about how do 467 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: we get a d rob, a guy that everybody thought 468 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 1: in free agency was gonna hit the market in man 469 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: ten million a year for some team. How do we 470 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: get that kid to come back and except to be 471 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: a role player in this offense. He loves winning, he 472 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: loves the environment of competing for a championship. And you 473 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: know that that is something that's going to be a 474 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: part of this team's present day future in two twenty 475 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: and beyond. And so you gotta value that. You gotta 476 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: value success. I mean when you talk about being self 477 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: less versus selfish. Everybody wants targets. Everybody wants the ball 478 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: thrown to them. But I never wanted targets to the 479 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: ball thrown at me. I wanted to throw them to me. 480 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: I want a quarterback that, when I'm running full speed, 481 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: can actually hit me in a shoebox window so I 482 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: can continue to play instead of me running a stop 483 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,479 Speaker 1: route and then thrown in three yards and making me 484 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: leading me into a big hit or leading me out 485 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: of bounds after I run a great route. The accuracy 486 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: you have with Pat Mahomes, it allows our receivers to 487 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: have such confidence running your routes. They're not worried about 488 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 1: getting big being blown up after a big a big catch. 489 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 1: They're not worrying about him throwing the ball to a 490 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: three yard beyond their catch radius. The ball is so 491 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: many times not even cent of times within their frame 492 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: of catching that they can just catch it. Turn up 493 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: belk to run get yacks yards have to catch. That 494 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: is the offense that you signed up to be a 495 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: part of when you come in and be part of 496 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: the wide receiver corps in Kansas City. I also got 497 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: to play in the red zone. I gotta win in 498 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: the red zone because if I run a four two 499 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: that fields now only thirty yards twenty on end, so 500 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: that lext ten yards. I'm gonna be up in the stands. 501 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: I can run real fast, but I'm gonna be setting 502 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: with weird Wolf or the Lake Law to want a 503 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: Lake Rats or fake Andy Reid. I gotta win now 504 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: and talk about a tight window. I'm playing arena football 505 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: now and so my speed gets neutralized. I still gotta 506 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: win those battles in the red zone with this quarterback. Yeah, 507 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 1: the defense the only chance is to keep you from 508 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: getting vertical. They have to reroute mirror. We've talked about that, 509 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, and the other podcasts we talked about what 510 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: makes a dB good is having great feet, being able 511 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: to mirror, being able to reroute and adjust routes through 512 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 1: off the timing. Well. In order to be a great receiver, 513 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: you have to prevent that from happening. You have to 514 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: be able to win now. And they're certain matchups on 515 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 1: the field where Mahomes and the receiver they know that 516 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: ball is coming in the first second of the down. 517 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: If that guy can create any any window of space 518 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: for Pat to throw that ball in there, it's coming. 519 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: And so you have to be ready and you have 520 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: to be ready to win and finish the play in 521 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: a positive way. Okay, long first quarter, long first half, 522 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 1: but here's halftime. You know it is. It's a virtual 523 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: twelve minutes of a real NFL game in one second. 524 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: So do your business virtually. They're good. Now we're in 525 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: the third quarter because now we're gonna jump into this draft, 526 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,360 Speaker 1: and this draft gets crazy with wide receivers. There are 527 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: a lot of Mempack players and I'm part of my 528 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: draft analysis next week is the first fifteen rounds is 529 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: who the Chiefs will probably play against because the three 530 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: division opponents are going to get some of these guys 531 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: and they're good, and they're fast, and they kind of 532 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: fit some of the profile of the guys we've talked 533 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: about that are currently on our team, but I'm gonna 534 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: take the first four and just throw him out there. 535 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb of Oklahoma. We saw him in Big twelve Country, 536 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: uber competitive dude. Jerry Judy of Alabama, a great route runner, 537 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: twenty four touchdowns in his last twenty eight games, a 538 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: lot of productivity. Harry Ruggs of Alabama reminds me of 539 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: the Jet He's get some Mcole Hardman him at four 540 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: two seven. And then Justin Jefferson of LSU, who had 541 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 1: big productions on that crazy good team. Maybe not elite speed, 542 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: but he's four four three and good runs, good routes. 543 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: All four of these guys will start. There could be 544 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: a potential that three of these guys could be in 545 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: our division as soon as next year. Yeah, I think 546 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: there's going to be an early run on wide receiver, 547 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: and I stay early before the twentieth peak on wide 548 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: receiver number seven. And that's amazing. In such a deep 549 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: draft at so many positions, you think the seven maybe 550 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: eight receivers are all going to go in the first round, 551 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: but everybody wants those those skill players. Everybody thinks that 552 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: it's time to win on one piece away. They're won 553 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, they won with Coole Hardman, away from having 554 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: a potent offense. And the thing that most of these 555 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: teams really don't realize when it comes down to it, 556 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: the secret in the sauce. Here in Kansas City. It's 557 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: not just Mcoe Harman. It ain't just Cheetah, it's not Zeus, 558 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 1: it's not the running game, it's not our offensive. It's 559 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 1: a combination of all those ingredients and how they compliment 560 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: one another, and the chefs behind all that is coach 561 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: Andy Reid. And so if you don't have all those 562 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: pieces in place, and you don't have a gem like 563 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: Beach pulling the street, all those parts on the field together, 564 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: then who cares if you go out and get just 565 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: this one piece, this one added addition to your offense 566 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: that was in the bottom half of the league last year. 567 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: These guys have some great skill sets, but of the 568 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: top four receivers after the third or fourth year, deemed 569 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: as an elite receiver. And that's because he has to 570 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: be paired up with an elite quarterback, oil elite a 571 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: play call half. Here in Kansas City, Yeah, we've seen 572 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: that happen time and time again throughout the league. Then 573 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: there's a next group of guys, and this next group 574 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: of guys, to me, could help dictate the Chiefs pick 575 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: if they don't pick a wide receiver at thirty two. 576 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: In that a guy like Levisca Chenault of Colorado who's 577 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: kind of jumping up the board. Te Higgins, a Clemson's 578 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: well known Iuk of Arizona State just had core surgery. 579 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 1: But here's my point and how it deals with the Chiefs. 580 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 1: If teams start to feel like they can get those 581 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: guys or possibly get one at thirty two with the Chiefs, 582 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: or even a three way trade where it gets real tricky. 583 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: This could affect the Chiefs and the fact that if 584 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: someone's coveted there, someone may move into the chiefs position 585 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: or do a three way work deal where the Chiefs 586 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: could trade down, perhaps maybe trade up, but maybe trade 587 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: down to get extra picks. Because of what happens before 588 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs pick, and especially in those ten to twelve 589 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: picks right before the Chiefs yeah, I'll see. I mean, 590 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: it's really only two scenarios that happen for the Chiefs. 591 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: Either there's a great offensive lineman or a great deepen 592 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: lineman or cornerback that falls in our lap at thirty two, 593 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: who we thought was a top end. The value on 594 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: that player so ridiculous you just have to take them, 595 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 1: or the draft kind of plays out and thirty of 596 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: the top thirty guys go, and there are teams calling 597 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: our phone, calling up the chiefs, hey man, we got 598 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: a guy retargeted. We gotta get them. And Bret Beach 599 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: is sitting there with eight different guys he would like, 600 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter. They all had great value, whether 601 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: it's a ride receiver, cornerback, offensive tack whoever it is. 602 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: He has eight of them he wouldn't mind having, and 603 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: he trades down five or six spots and gains two picks. 604 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: If we can continue to do that, the middle of 605 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: our roster can be so has so much depth and 606 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: so much playability when it comes to affecting the special 607 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: teams and other in depth to prevent injuries, because we 608 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: saw that was the one thing that amazingly we was 609 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: able to rebound after miss one hundred plus quarters from 610 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: our starters. We had depth to be able to to 611 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: to to stem the tide and consistently play a top 612 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: level football even without some starters. What this allows us 613 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: to do because we have no points of need, we 614 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: have no holes to feel, we can just sit and 615 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: wait and let the draft really fall into your lap 616 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: and you can walk away after three days of drafting 617 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,880 Speaker 1: high character, valuable pieces, Guys that can compete on the 618 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: special teams, add value to the depth to the old line, 619 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,959 Speaker 1: be a third or fourth corner or nickel, and so 620 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: many different ways this can turn out, but it always 621 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: turns out in our favor because we don't have any 622 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: pressing needs. That's the beautiful thing about being having a 623 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: ride receiver corps coming out that are I mean, I'm 624 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: going to almost fifteen deep before I get to the 625 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: guy at Notre Dame that I love, Claypool. And the 626 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: thing about getting him in day three, day four, I 627 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: mean to get him in the third or fourth round. 628 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's he's the guy to get on 629 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: the field right now and be a red zone beast. 630 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 1: And you think about adding that just three four snaps 631 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 1: a game to an already elite offense, just another different 632 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle. They can make this offense for 633 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: being great to elite. And there's other guys too. Denzel 634 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: members of Baylor, Jalen Reagor of TCU. Two big twelve 635 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: guys that we saw in our area. kJ Hamdler Penn State, 636 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: Pittman and USC His dad played in the NFL. You 637 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: already mentioned Claypool, There's Davis of Central Florida. Edwards is 638 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean, there's's a bunch of the South Carolina kid 639 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: is interesting Byon Edwards too. But here's and looking at 640 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: those guys and am I going to say any one 641 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: specific guy, but a lot of these college systems, these 642 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: guys are running two routes. It's almost like they're running 643 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,959 Speaker 1: a nine and then maybe a post. But it's not. 644 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: I don't see tons of crossing patterns or choice routes 645 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: because a lot of them are spreads. And I'm just 646 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,800 Speaker 1: gonna throw it up there and you go get it. 647 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. If you've got to look at 648 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: these guys and try to see what because we just 649 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: went through on the second quarter, what Andy Reid wants 650 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: in a receiver, and that means multiplicity of things and 651 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: learn how to run every route tree. That means running routes, 652 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: getting open, how to understand angles, and a lot of 653 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: these guys were good college players, but depending on the 654 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: pro system they go to, it could be a deeper 655 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: learning curve than maybe people think. And that's why you 656 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: see the hidden jewel and Aman juniors because you know 657 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: he comes from a football family. You know his dad 658 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: has been talking to him up and down the board 659 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,479 Speaker 1: because he was such a great receiving threat for Arizona 660 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: Cardins all those years. He knows the scout, he knows 661 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: the passing tree, he knows complimentary routes, he knows how 662 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: to finish through the whistle. He knows how important it 663 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: is to line up and be one hundred percent on 664 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: all your checks, hot routes, hot reads, all those things 665 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: that some guys in college struggle with because they haven't 666 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 1: had to do it. You know he will come into 667 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: the league and be a special team's beast when it 668 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 1: talks about being a gunner or being a cover guy. 669 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: So his value though, you know in the rankings he's 670 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: might be ranked nine to ten, when it comes to 671 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: coming in and starting right away and getting the guy 672 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,280 Speaker 1: who you can actually expect something big out of his football, 673 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 1: Acque was probably off the chart when you talk about 674 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: the wide receiver group, and so the fourth quarter of 675 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: this discussion, and we'll make it quicker. Really, the two 676 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: minute warning is the fact that one thing I really 677 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: like about Andy Reid, Brett Beach, the entire infrastructure of 678 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: the Chief's football side is that they will never look 679 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: at just one single year. It was interesting Brett Beach 680 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: earlier today in his new conference, and he and I 681 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: have talked about this in private conversations too, is he's 682 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: looking at twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, 683 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: twenty three because you got the goat, right, The goats 684 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna be around a while. So in this draft, people 685 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: kind of have a tendency to put like blinders on 686 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: it and think just to the twenty twenty draft. Now 687 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: I use wide receiver in this discussion because why would 688 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: you take a wide receiver? We just talked to him. 689 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: They got the best crew in the NFL. They're all young, 690 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: these guys, they're sitting Larry Fitzgerald at the end of 691 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: his career. These guys are all hitting their prime. Why 692 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: would you take another one? Because you're looking at a 693 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: pace Maybe a croc pod guy who twenty one, twenty two, 694 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: twenty three b comes on next, Sammy Watkins or somebody 695 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 1: like that. So I love this franchise and the way 696 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: Brett Beach does business and his whole crew, and Andy 697 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,280 Speaker 1: thinks this way too, is it's not just about now, 698 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 1: It's also about the future, especially with Mahomes at quarterback. 699 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: And that's what every great franchise is going to do. 700 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: That that is the one thing to common thread between 701 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: just winning one year and being a one and done 702 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: type organization and being having a legacy, having a destiny, 703 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: having a dynasty, let's say over a ten year span, 704 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,319 Speaker 1: is you have to be thinking three and four years 705 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,760 Speaker 1: down the line. You have to be drafting young depth 706 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: because you know, as players enter their contractor years, they 707 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,359 Speaker 1: get into their fifth year, to get into their sixth year, 708 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: the dollars, the way the campus structure, they're gonna be 709 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: demanding some bigger contracts. And you can't pay a quarterback 710 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: forty million and you're both tackles fifteen million, and you're 711 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: running back and you're tight end fifty. There's not enough 712 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: fifteen million contracts to go around to stay competitive. So 713 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: you have to get some some top level talent on 714 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: young deals, on rookie deals, and your rookie contracts and 715 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: so The one thing that we know about coach Andy 716 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: Reid is he's always sent guys other organizations with a blessing. Hey, man, 717 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: come here and play hard as you can. If you 718 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: ball out for our team and other teams want you 719 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: and they want to give you top dollar to play 720 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: beyond what we can really afford to pay you, We're 721 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: not gonna hate on that. We're gonna bless you. We're 722 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: gonna send you among your way. We're gonna cheer for 723 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: you when you're not playing us. But we always got 724 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:50,600 Speaker 1: to be, like you say, we always got to be 725 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: investing some some ingredients and some some pieces into that 726 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: crop pot looking for that next breakout player. And you 727 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 1: miss that if you're only thinking about now and you're 728 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: not drafting for value and you're not drafting for the future. 729 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: Red Beach does an awesome job his entire staff, but 730 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,919 Speaker 1: preparing that board and sticking to that board and making 731 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: sure they keep this organization running as a as a 732 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: champ won the championship level. All right, we'll close it out, 733 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: but I appreciate your backdrop there. The O'shan Barber. Unleash it. 734 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,480 Speaker 1: That's what they need to draft, That's what they need 735 00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 1: to draft with the last pick, seventh round pick. Come on, 736 00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: get you to get that Sean Barbecue out of univers 737 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: Dear Richmond, Let's go Spiders. Yeah, and since we don't 738 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: have a seventh round pick, that's a probably a pretty 739 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,400 Speaker 1: good idea. We'll just keep it that way. And the 740 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: other thing I would say is fifty nine. That's a 741 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: good number. Donnie Edwards. We're gonna post an interview I 742 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: did with Donnie who were who preceded you and wearing 743 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: that number. I think we're gonna get that posted maybe 744 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,400 Speaker 1: tomorrow in the next couple of days. It's phenomenal what 745 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: what Donnie Edwards is doing for World War Two veterans. 746 00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing. You'll want to see it. And 747 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,680 Speaker 1: then Reggie Ragland now is a Detroit Lions. So fifty 748 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: nine is wide open. So that first round draft pick 749 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,839 Speaker 1: we take, if it's a linebacker, we may give him 750 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,719 Speaker 1: fifty nine. Brothers to get ready. We got it's some 751 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: good ones that might be available between Patrick Queen and 752 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 1: the Murray kid out of Oklahoma and both of those guys, 753 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,799 Speaker 1: and they might fall. Like I said, with all the 754 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 1: skill position quarterbacks and receivers. Corn of all these other 755 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: positions being taken. If one of those guys are available 756 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: at thirty two, like I said, a top twenty value 757 00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: falls to your lap at thirty two, that would be 758 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 1: a great addition to this defense. Hey, if there's Murray 759 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: Quinn or Zach Bond setting there, you would give him 760 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 1: fifty nine and I'll give him my JV track warm 761 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: up from the JV when I ran the second leg 762 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: of the four by two.
