I 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: was thinking about this. 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: So the heat index today is like well over one 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: hundred degrees. Let's just say it's at one hundred. Seven 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 2: months ago we were doing a field pass show for 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 2: the Wildcard round when it was minus twenty seven degree windshill. 29 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: So it's like one hundred and thirty degrees warmer today 30 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 2: than it was that day. Think about that, and we're 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: out here. We're out here for the people. The two 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: Times have done a podcast up here.

Tomorrow it's going to 34 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: be like beautiful, like eighty one degrees. But it wouldn't 35 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: be a true training camp podcast if we waited until tomorrow. 36 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 2: We have to do it in the heat. 37 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: You know, and you knew who had show no sympathy? 38 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: Who Coach Read? No, he wants this, Yeah, he wants this. 39 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: And the players have learned to use this because Coach 40 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: Read is twenty seven and nine in September phenomenal in 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: his time as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. 42 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: His December record is actually better.

The chiefs actually 69 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: have a chance to be better in twenty twenty four. Yes, 70 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: sounds ridiculous, but it's true because of the dogs that 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: we see here in this camp, especially on days like today. 72 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 3: But before we go to the kennel, let's go around 73 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: the world and what do you have. 74 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 2: Oh, these people are also dogs for coming to camp 75 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: in this heat.

So 141 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: I was with him in Tyler Texas at an event 142 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: he was being presented for and we were talking about 143 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: him growing up. 144 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 3: He was always wanting to be Everybody. 145 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: Was recruiting him to be on the Dallas team, right, 146 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: the Metroplex team, going, the Super Travel team. They're going 147 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: to be in you know, Sri Lanka today and then 148 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: next week they're going to be in Australia.

So it just tells you what 152 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: we see in Patrick was way back then when he's 153 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: a young teenager. Because he's loyal to where he's at 154 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,119 Speaker 1: and loyal to his guys. 155 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 2: That's Patrick Mahomes and a nutshell. People ask us beyond 156 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: the talent, what makes him so special? It's that stuff. 157 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: How often do you find a player who's so physically gifted, 158 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: who is really really smart, can evaluate things on the field, 159 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: and is also like an awesome guy away from the field. 160 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: You don't find that player because rarely do they exist. 161 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: What exists with Patrick Mahomes. That's why he is the 162 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: greatest player in our game today, not the fourth greatest. 163 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 2: That's why he is the number one player in our 164 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 2: league right now because of the talent, the intelligence, but 165 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: maybe most importantly who he is away from the field to. 166 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: Who makes those ratings? Honestly, I don't know stand up 167 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: and be accounted for. How are you putting him for? 168 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: Reveal yourself anyway, don't get me started. That'll I mean, 169 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: I'm I got a heat stroke. Okay, I really do 170 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: now after that, so don't get me started. But honestly, 171 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: I think we can say our first dog dawg of 172 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: this camp is actually Patrick himself. He's been here, he 173 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: has his own OTAs, he had tax OTAs. We've talked 174 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: about all that, but it's winning these days when you've 175 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: got to push through it. 176 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 3: Andy Reid says, you've got to push through it. 177 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: This was a hard practice today, and nobody's pushing through 178 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: it harder than Patrick Mahomes. 179 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 2: All right, this will be a long winded response, but 180 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: can I give you some Patrick mahomes like numbers and accolades? 181 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: Sure? Okay? 182 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: So Patrick Mahomes has the most passing yards and touchdown 183 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: passes through one hundred career games in NFL history, and 184 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 2: he did so with four games to spare. He's only 185 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: started ninety six career regular season games. He has fifteen 186 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: career postseason wins at quarterback, as third most all time 187 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: already as a twenty eight year old, behind only Jill Montana, 188 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: who has sixteen. By the way, so Patrick's one behind 189 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: tying Jill Montana, and then Tom Brady has thirty five. 190 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 2: But he's getting there. He is the first player. This 191 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: is a cool one. I didn't know this until recently. 192 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: He is the first player to win back to back 193 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP awards since Terry Bradshaw in nineteen seventy 194 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 2: nine and nineteen eighty And lastly, I talked about this 195 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: one on our livestream a little bit ago. This one's great. 196 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: This came from sportswriter Neil Payne two one thousand and one. 197 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: There have been one hundred and twenty five drives and 198 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: the NFL playoffs where it's at least the fourth quarter, 199 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: under a minute left to play and the team with 200 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 2: the ball trailed by one score, and those situations team 201 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: succeeded and got the points that they needed about forty 202 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: percent of the time. Tom Brady was five for eleven 203 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 2: in the situations. Drew Brees was three for six. Patrick 204 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: Mahomes is seven for seven in his career in those situations, 205 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 2: basically saying he's the most clutch quarterback that has ever lived. 206 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: So I say all of that to set the stage 207 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 2: for day thirteen of training camp, when it is one 208 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: hundred degrees out here, it's their seventh padded practice in 209 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: the last eleven days. Guys are exhausted. Patrick Mahomes has 210 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 2: accomplished literally so much in this league, and yet he's 211 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: going hard in practice. 212 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: And last year though, he went to next level of dogness. 213 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: Dawg Per his per game passing total, it's number one 214 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: in NFL history. In his first six years as a 215 00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: starter at two ninety six point one, right, remember that number. 216 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 3: Eight times in the Chiefs fifteen wins. 217 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: Last year he was under that number and one five 218 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: regular season games, three out of the four in the playoffs. 219 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: What does that tell you? He does not have to 220 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: be a high volume passer to win the game. He 221 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: does not have to throw for four hundred or five 222 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: hundred or whomever's in the basement saying he's in the 223 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: fourth best player in. 224 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: The league, going, hey, he had a down year. No 225 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 3: he didn't. 226 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: He won the Super Bowl and he did it by grinding. 227 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: Many of these games were grinded out games. You don't 228 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: win at Buffalo, or win at Baltimore, or beat a 229 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco team without being a grinding quarterback on that path, 230 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what he did. That was a big 231 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: step for him. That was a step forward that he 232 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: had proven now he can win every game in every 233 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: way under any circumstance. 234 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: And then the Super Bowl, we had a game tying 235 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: drive and regulation, and then we had a touchdown game 236 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 2: winning drive and overtime. I mean, listen, completed every pass exactly. 237 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 2: I mean, he has all the stats in the numbers 238 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: at this point. With Patrick, it doesn't really matter what 239 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: his regular season numbers are. They're going to be really good. 240 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 2: We always put it in the context of did he 241 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: throw for this many touchdowns, this many passing yards. It 242 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 2: doesn't matter because all he cares about is winning. If 243 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: the Chiefs win, he is happy. And if he helped 244 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 2: the Chiefs win in some way and the Chiefs won 245 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: the game, that's all he cares about. And the Chiefs 246 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: last year won the division, got to the postseason, had 247 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: maybe the hardest playoff run like playoff March ever and 248 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: it ended with the second straight Super Bowl title. I mean, 249 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: he's not only the best player in the game today, 250 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 2: he's one of the greatest players to ever live. And 251 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: when it's all said and done, I look forward to 252 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 2: our DTK in like twenty forty one or whatever, we'll 253 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: be talking about Patrick Mammos maybe is the greatest player 254 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 2: of all time. 255 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: There's other dogs in this camp that deserve mentioned on 256 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: this episode. The offensive lines right there. We had featured 257 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: them in a live stream that we did earlier in camp. 258 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: But the two guys come to mind, Creed Humphrey and 259 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: Tray Smith, and actually Juwan Taylor. He's different than he 260 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: was a year ago, totally different. He's acclimated and not 261 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: only the culture. He's more comfortable in this system. But 262 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: those guys have been dogs in this camp because they 263 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: brought it every day and they've been here for almost 264 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: every moment and they just been outstanding. Joe Tooney has 265 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: worked his way back, remember his offseason surgery, got hurt 266 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: in the Buffalo game. And then left tackle is a 267 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: discussion we've had before. But those other three guys from center, 268 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: right guard, right tackle have proven to me they are 269 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,359 Speaker 1: dogs in this camp. 270 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 2: And this camp is really really hard on those guys. 271 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: If you've been up here at camp, you know what 272 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about. There is a segment of 273 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: many of these practices called the long drive drill, and 274 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: it is what it sounds like. It basically simulates a 275 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: real game situation where you're on the field for several 276 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: consecutive plays. There was one a few days ago where 277 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 2: the first team offense was on the field for sixteen 278 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 2: consecutive plays. Now, receivers can rotate in and out like 279 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: it was a real game, but your offensive lineman they're 280 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 2: staying in there and it's one hundred degrees play after 281 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: play after play, not much of a break. I mean, 282 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 2: that's grueling, but that's where you find out who your 283 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: best players are. You have to dig deep and really 284 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: learn who you are as a player, and beyond even 285 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 2: the starters, who's going to make this team as a reserve. 286 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 2: Those guys separate during these days and during things like 287 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: long drive drill, and I know, training camp kind of 288 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 2: gets monotonous after a while. I mean, yeah, it's day 289 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 2: thirteen of nineteen, but every single day, every player is 290 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: evaluated on every single play. And if you're trying to 291 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: make this team, or you're a player like Juwan Taylor 292 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: or Joe Toney or one of the starters who wants 293 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: to maybe take your game to the next level next season, 294 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: you do it in training camp and it's it's a 295 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: beautiful thing. It's hot, it's difficult, but this team's getting 296 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 2: better over the last several. 297 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: Days, long days, long nights here, and the scouts and 298 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: the coaches have long nights. Do you realize and I 299 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: don't know if fans realize this. They rank every position, 300 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: every player every day. Yeah, and those rankings change from 301 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: day to day. But your point's a good one. But 302 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: they'll be there tonight, grinding away, and they will go 303 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: down every player, all ninety one players, and rank them 304 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: in every position group every day. Now, let's jump to 305 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: the defense and where we're seeing some dogs on that side. 306 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: Drew Trank, to me, is maybe the valedictorian of this discussion. 307 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm calling him Alisaurus because he's coming out here. 308 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: I love it. 309 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: He prays right here before he goes on the field. 310 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: It's like a game to him. He prays, It's like boom, 311 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: and then he hits the field. He is all over 312 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: the place, even to agitate the offense a couple of times. 313 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: But Drew Tranquill is having an incredible camp. And it's 314 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: not just physically. He is mentally and emotionally attacking this camp. 315 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 2: Okay, let's take a step back. This is the brilliance 316 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 2: of Mitch. Okay, he could so easily compare Drew Tranquill 317 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 2: to a you know, common variety everyone knows kind of dinosaur, like, oh, 318 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 2: he's a t rex, or he's a velociraptor or something. No, 319 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 2: he's an alisaurus. I had to look it up. I 320 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: like dinosaurs. I had to look it up, and I 321 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: send him back a picture of an alosaurus. My wife 322 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 2: was like, you guys are out of control, but yeah, 323 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: I'm with you. My favorite thing, Drew has said all 324 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: of King. 325 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: Jay Schmid from Smith Center at Missus LaRue in grade school, 326 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: and she taught me what alisaurus was all about, like dinosaurs. Man, 327 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: it's a big deal in Smith Center, just saying it. Well, 328 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: his fossil's out there, right, oh yeah, yeah, find fossils, 329 00:14:58,320 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: just dig around a little bit. 330 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: They're there. Yeah, believe it mostly on Schmid's farm. 331 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 2: But Drew Trankwill during one of our live streams, like 332 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: last week, you interviewed him and he talked about what 333 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: Spags said one of the first days of camp that 334 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 2: you can't rely on what happened last year. The defense 335 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: was so good last year doesn't matter anymore. Apparently Spags 336 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: told a story about how during his Giants days he 337 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: had a top break defense one year, next year they 338 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: fell the thirty one overall. Well, Spags and Tranquill and 339 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 2: Nick Bolton. When he's healthy, these defensive players that have 340 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: been around the league a little bit, they've told us repeatedly, 341 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 2: we're not going to let that happen. And the mantra 342 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: for the defense this year is de BET's demand better 343 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: and it's cool because the defense as good as it 344 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: was last year. I think about right after the Chargers 345 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: game in Week eighteen, I knew the exact numbers, like 346 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 2: the number of points we could allow for our defense 347 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: to finish first, second, third, whatever. In scoring. We finished 348 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: number two in the NFL in scoring. And we saw 349 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: Spags after the game and I was like, coach, you 350 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 2: finished number two in scoring, and he was like, that's 351 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: not good enough. He wasn't even happy about it, didn't smile, 352 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: like that's. 353 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: Not good enough. 354 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: We need to be number one. And I'm excited for 355 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: this defense to see if they can achieve that this 356 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: year because they certainly have the mentality to do it. 357 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: And takeaways are going to be a big issue with 358 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: this team. They didn't take it away a lot last year. 359 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 2: That's the one thing. 360 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, and so to take it away. You may be 361 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: fifth in scoring defense or even seventh, but if you 362 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: take the ball away more, you win more games. And 363 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: I could see that happening with his defense. Another dog, 364 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: this is going to be near and dear to your 365 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: heart in this camp. A dog is Brian Cook at safety. 366 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: Number six is back. Remember he had the ghastly ankle 367 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: injury in Green Bay last year wiped him out for 368 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: the rest of the year, including the playoff run to 369 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. 370 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: He's back. 371 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: He's attacking every day, even to the point where he's 372 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: agitated Mahomes. Right, they're getting after it. There was an interception, 373 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: He's like kind of calling out Mahomes. The next play 374 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: McComb Mahomes comes after him and fights Jared Wiley. But still, 375 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm really encouraged with what I'm seeing from Brian Cook. 376 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: The Brian Cook we saw as a rookie, we're seeing 377 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: here better. 378 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 2: I agree, Brian Cook was in the nittle Some of 379 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 2: the biggest moments of last year, some you might remember, 380 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 2: some of you might forget about. The obvious one is 381 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 2: the touchdown against the Dolphins in Germany. I mean, just incredible. 382 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: He's like an Olympic sprinter with the high knees, running 383 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: down and scoring after Mike Edwards lateral it to him. 384 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: But also do not forget about his open field tackle 385 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 2: on Breece Hall and the Jets game. That's like a 386 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 2: forgotten player because for me, it's so easy to look 387 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 2: at the touchdowns or receiving yards or interceptions. I get it, 388 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: but you can't forget about the moments in a game 389 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 2: where everything kind of teeters. And in that Jets game, 390 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 2: Breece Hall was going to score a touchdown. I mean 391 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: it was a wide open, open field, like he's going 392 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 2: to run for a touchdown. Brian Cook was the only 393 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: guy in between, and Brian made a great open field tackle. Well, 394 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: if you look at the rest of the game, first 395 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 2: of all, the Chiefs won by one score, so that 396 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 2: was gigantic, but also the Jets didn't get past that 397 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,959 Speaker 2: point the rest of the game, like they didn't move 398 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: further into Chief's territory the rest of the game. Football 399 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 2: is a game of inches, It's an obvious cliche, but 400 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 2: it's also a game of little moments like one or 401 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: two plays can aside these things, and for Brian Cook 402 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 2: to be ready in that moment stood out to me. 403 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 2: So he's a really good player on like every down. 404 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,239 Speaker 2: But those kind of things separate like guys who are 405 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 2: out there who are serviceable and guys who are really 406 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: really good players who are going to grow with this defense. 407 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: And that's what stands out to me about Brian Cook. 408 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 2: So so glad he's back. His mentality is great. He's healthy, 409 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 2: He's out here doing everything. So yeah, Brian Cook, after 410 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 2: that scary injury in Green Bay is appears to be 411 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 2: good to go. 412 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,159 Speaker 1: He fits in with one of my favorite stats of 413 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: this team right now, and that is the great group 414 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two dbs. There are five in that 415 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: class and they are thirty five and oh in the playoffs. 416 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 3: I've often said this is that good. 417 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 1: Jay Schmidt would hire these guys, he would have them 418 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: as business partners. You would want to work for him, 419 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: you'd want him to work for you. They're great people. 420 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: They're also dogs, and I've seen Trent McDuffie get dog. 421 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 1: He's been dog out here. If you look at his career, 422 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: people go. He hasn't had an interception in two years. No, 423 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: but he's had more force fumbles and quarterback hits than 424 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 1: any corner back in the league history, second second most 425 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: in NFL history for a corner in his first two years. 426 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: Now he's taken on even more of a role and 427 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: even his third year as the age old third year guy. 428 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: These guys, that group is a unique group. And we've 429 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: seen Nazi Johnson come fighting back, a little bit of 430 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: dog in him coming back from an ACL injury suffered 431 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 1: about this time a year ago, and he's been in 432 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: and out and in and out, but he's back. He 433 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: keeps fighting back and coming back. Now. Jalen Watson is 434 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: gradually coming back. Joshua Williams just had a good camp. 435 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: But those guys, those dbs from the twenty two draft 436 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: class are a very unique group and they're just getting better. 437 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 1: And it's one of the reasons why this Chiefs team 438 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: can be better in twenty four. 439 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 2: So you and I both love Lagarius Snead and Lagarius 440 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 2: Need is a dog as we saw last year. But 441 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 2: one of the primary reasons, yeah, absolutely, one of the 442 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 2: primary reasons the Chiefs allowed Lagerius Need to go out 443 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: there and I guess trade him to the Titans is 444 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 2: because we felt really good about this group. And it 445 00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: begins the Trent McDuffie, who is a star. He is 446 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 2: a star in the make an All Pro last year 447 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 2: at nickel corner, but now he's going to bunce outside 448 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 2: and play a lot of outside corner, maybe travel with 449 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 2: the top receiver of the other team. We'll see, but 450 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 2: just so good. Last season. Pro Football Focus ranked him 451 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 2: as the number two corner in the NFL coming into 452 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 2: this year behind only Sauce Gardner. That's how highly they 453 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 2: think of him. I think a big season is coming 454 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 2: for Trent McDuffie, but the other guys too, Like you 455 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: mentioned Joshua Williams having a really nice camp. Jill and 456 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 2: Watson kind of working back from that injury, but looks 457 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 2: better and better every day. Nazi Johnson, who was one 458 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 2: of the stories of camp last year. We felt so 459 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 2: good about what he was going to contribute defensively last season, 460 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: not just on special teams. But he's back. He's missed 461 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: a few days with just a lingering hamstring injury, but 462 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: he was healthy out there today. Nazzie Johnson has a 463 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 2: real shot to make some impact moments for this team. 464 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 2: So we feel good about this defense. I mean, it's young, 465 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 2: it's a sending and this is something that we've talked 466 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 2: about for months and months. The twenty twenty two draft class. 467 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 2: All those defensive players have been right in the middle 468 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: of all this success and they are only getting better. 469 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 2: And that's very exciting if you're achieved. 470 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: And they are so emotionally and mentally mature, they are 471 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: it's like CEOs all there in training in that defensive backfield. 472 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: That's what's kind of overlooked, I think in these guys 473 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,479 Speaker 1: and how they have grown, especially guys that we mentioned. Okay, 474 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: the other dog and we'll close out this way, and 475 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: it's going to surprise you, but I'm going to put 476 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: Harrison Bucker in this dog category. 477 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 3: The dawg. 478 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: Why he has had to completely change the way he 479 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: does kickoffs. We watched him this summer, this new kickoff rule, 480 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: and Matt's going to be down on the sideline and 481 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: you can listen to the largest network in the NFL 482 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: as well, Jacksonville on Saturday night. I'm going to try, 483 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: my darness, if you're not watching and listening, to explain 484 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: it because it is the craziest thing you've ever seen. 485 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: It's the demolition derby at the County Fair. That's the 486 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: only thing I can say. It's just not people bashing 487 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 1: into each other, but the fact that the kick the ball, 488 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: you've got to kick it entirely different than any time 489 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 1: he's ever done it in his life. He is doing 490 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: it outstanding, But at first a summer watch him, I'm like, Ooh, 491 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's going to work. He has 492 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 1: completely changed the way he's kicked out here. Have you 493 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: noticed how many perfect kicks he has had? That means 494 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: he had to change his mind and in his physical style. 495 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: To me, that's a kicker dog. It's just completely different. 496 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people watch the Hall 497 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 2: of Fame game and you got kind of an idea 498 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: of it, but that was just kind of scratching the surface. 499 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: We've been watching this since OTA's There's a lot of 500 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: weird stuff that's going to happen with the new kickoff, 501 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 2: and the preseason game for US on Saturday will be 502 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: Chiefs fans first opportunity to see the Chiefs and how 503 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 2: they handle it. It's something that Dave Tobe is really embraced. 504 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: And you know, a lot of teams might end up 505 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: still kicking touchbacks because it will put the ball at thirty. 506 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 2: It's not great. It's still great field position for the opponent, 507 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 2: but for teams that can't figure it out, they'll be 508 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 2: like ah Well's kick touchbacks. Dave Tobe wants to find 509 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: a way to make this work to our advantage because 510 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 2: the teams that can really figure this out are going 511 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 2: to have an enormous advantage over their opponents. Because if 512 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 2: you can consistently pin teams back with this, and then 513 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: on the flip side, if you can take advantage of 514 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: the field possition that you're getting. Giving Patrick Mahomes the 515 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: ball at the thirty or the thirty five or the 516 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 2: forty every single time, imagine the damage he can do. 517 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: But really, for Butker in a kicking game, You're right, 518 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 2: it's like learning a whole new language. It's difficult, it's hard, 519 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: it's something that's never really happened before for players of 520 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 2: his caliber. But he's done a great job trying to 521 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: learn this and figure out how to place the ball perfectly. 522 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: I don't know how much we can really say or 523 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: reveal strategy, but there's some fun stuff for sure. 524 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 3: Just watch it on Saturday Night. I'll talk about it 525 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 3: as well. 526 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: But he's had to completely retrain his brain and show 527 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: some toughness. And I didn't think he'd be doing it 528 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: this well, this consistently, this soon after what was saw 529 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: the summer, But he just totally turned his life into 530 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 1: like I've got to kick these weird kicks, which is 531 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: anything he's learned from any time learning as a kick, 532 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: going back to a little kid. So but to me, 533 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: he's a dog and what he's doing with that, because 534 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: it's going to decide games. Okay, one way or the other. 535 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: Coverage returns or if you mishandle a kick and he stumbles, 536 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: it goes out of bounds because it's coming out you're 537 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: like a knuckleball or some crazy medicine ball. That's the 538 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: way you got to kick it. So let's put butt 539 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: in that category. 540 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: And for these returners, it's kind of funny to see this. 541 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 2: So if it lands inside the twenty, you have to 542 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: return it. It has to be returned. There's no fair 543 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 2: catches or just letting it go. No, you have to 544 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 2: return it. And if the ball gets by you, or 545 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: if you catch it and it slips out behind you, 546 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 2: the panic that they must feel. And hopefully throughout the 547 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 2: season we're seeing a lot of that, or the receiving 548 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 2: team the Chiefs are playing against, the ball gets by 549 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 2: them or that goes through their hands and goes behind 550 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: them or something and they have to run back and 551 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: get it and the Chiefs pin them at like the 552 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: five yard line. Hopefully a lot of that this year. 553 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 2: And the Chief defense that we talked about earlier that 554 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: we believe so much in. If you can pin the 555 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 2: opponent back and the defense can pin their ears back 556 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 2: and get after the passer. It's exciting stuff. 557 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: It is not being on the freeway anymore. It is 558 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: rush hour traffic on every one of these kicks. But 559 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: the key for any team will be the kicker. Where 560 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: does he put it? Is it a returnable kick? And 561 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: bucker right now to me, I think is ahead of 562 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: the game. 563 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 3: We'll see. So thanks to the folks at Mosaic. 564 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: They've been awesome all throughout camp here, not only with 565 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: our live streams helping fans. We saw them help a 566 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: fan here today was so hot, but they've also helped 567 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: our players throughout this camp. Man, they've been great, so 568 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: big thanks to the folks at Mosaic again part of 569 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,719 Speaker 1: the Mayo Clinic care system now and they're so local 570 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 1: focused Mosaic it's great. And then the folks at Ticketmaster, Man, 571 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: they're your new best friend for trying to get tickets 572 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: for home and road with the Kansas City Chiefs. But 573 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: I mean, let's go. We got to grind it out 574 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: for a couple more days here and then Jacksonville Saturday night. 575 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 2: I'll be a puddle on the sideline in Jacksonville. You know, 576 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 2: let's spend an August night. I'm sure it'll be one 577 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: hundred percent humidity in Jacksonville, but yeah, it should be 578 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: a lot of fun. This has been the shortest offseason 579 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: in NFL history. Back to back years the Chiefs have 580 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 2: done that. But we've talked for months and months about 581 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 2: what could happen this year. And now, finally, even though 582 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: it's just the preseason, we get to see the Chiefs 583 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 2: go out there on the football field and play opponent 584 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: and we have some history in front of us this year. Mitch, 585 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 2: some real opportunities, some things that she can hopefully achieve 586 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 2: that it never happened before. And in terms of on 587 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 2: the field and on television, it begins on Saturday. 588 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: I said it my speech in Washington, d C. And 589 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: Tom Brandt was there right, the Deputy chief. It's the 590 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: power of the mangy mutt. You and I talk about 591 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: it all the time. If you want to go win 592 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: the County Fair purple ribbon and prance around, fine, if 593 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: you're going to win a Super Bowl for the third 594 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: straight year, you better be a mangy mutt and find 595 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: some dogs. 596 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 3: The Chiefs are funding some right here.
