1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: It's a more important part of the alphabet in the 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,359 Speaker 1: National Football League than fans give it credit for. It's OTAs, 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: and we could ask every day what's an ota. Well, 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: it's an off season training activity for some teams. A 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: lot of teams they just kind of blow them off. 6 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: For the Kansas City Chiefs, it's summer school, and it's 7 00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: summer school with attendance, attention, and aos is the result. 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: Let's keeps it on an RPO at the five, it's 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: a lead block. 10 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 3: He goes into the ends on this side. Touchdown, Chunzas City. 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: How everyone, I'm Mitchelti's boy to the Chiefs along with 12 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 1: senior team reporter Matt McMullen. It is OTAs. We're getting 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: near the end of it. Next week will be the 14 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp. We have our first look two days 15 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: media days on Monday, and then the guys will scatter 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: for nearly a month. The closest thing the NFL has 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: to a plant shutdown, but the plant's not shut down yet, 18 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: especially in the Chiefs Kingdom where or a very real thing. 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it's really easy to blow 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 3: off this time because I get the guys or just 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 3: in shorts right now and no pads, no hitting, none 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: of that. But I really believe the way the Chiefs 23 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 3: attack this time is one of the reasons they've been 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 3: so successful over the years, because if you just look 25 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 3: on like Twitter or whatever and see how other teams 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 3: use this, a lot of teams use it just strictly 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: for team building, like hey, we're going to top golf 28 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 3: today or we're going to go paintballing today and the 29 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: Rams are in Hawaii. Yeah, Like I think a lot 30 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 3: of times that's seen as like, wow, this is really 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 3: cutting edge. I think when you're a football team and 32 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: you're allotted ten practices, because that's all you get for OTAs, 33 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 3: you get ten practices in the offseason to do offensive 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 3: versus defensive football. The teams that actually go out and 35 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 3: play football and attack it and do as much as 36 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: they possibly can in that time and treat it like 37 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: it's training camp, those are the teams that are going 38 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: to have a chance to win the whole thing at 39 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 3: the end. And consistently we've seen that. So the Chiefs 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: they fully take advantage of this time. Coach read as 41 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 3: a master in terms of efficiency and maximizing the time 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 3: they have out there on the field, and we've seen 43 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 3: some great things. We're going to talk about them a 44 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 3: little bit later. But yeah, no like paintballing or top 45 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 3: golf for the Chiefs, they're doing stuff on the field. 46 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: It's I don't know the league we're going to get 47 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: into this, but I think it's an issue for the 48 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: league and everybody's kind of got to dive in here. 49 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 2: But we'll get into why the. 50 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs do it, the result and what people forget and 51 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: they just look at the end result, they don't see 52 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: the process. I know it's an overused cliche, but it's 53 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: very real. And the OTAs are a gigantic part of 54 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs being the winning pro franchise. The 55 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: winning is pro franchise over the past ten seasons, and 56 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: that precedes Patrick Mahomes by three years. So anyway, we'll 57 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 1: get into that, but first let's go around the world. 58 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 3: You ever get tired of saying that we're the winnings 59 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 3: pro franchise in the last ten years? 60 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 2: Crazy, isn't this pretty awesome? 61 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: And then I look at everybody else on that list, 62 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: You at the Dodgers, and yeah, and so all the 63 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: teams you would expect to be on there and Chiefs first. 64 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the big bar draft. 65 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: There's just big red pops up there at seventy five percent. 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: But a big part of that is preparation and pre 67 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: You cannot wait until camp training camp to prepare. You 68 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: cannot wait until the first two weeks before the game 69 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: to prepare. And that's why OTA is and we learned 70 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: it now coaches in what it's thirteenth year as head 71 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: coach of the Chiefs, I saw it in twenty thirteen 72 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: and going, oh my gosh, OTAs are kind of like camp. 73 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: But let's we'll get to that. Let's go around the world. Yeah, 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: let's do it. So five today once again for Hollyllywood Brown. 75 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're so excited Hollywood Brown's But. 76 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: I'm a big Hollywood Brown fan. I don't know. This 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: is the thing that no one is talking about outside 78 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: of Chiefs Kingdom is that we had no Hollywood Brown 79 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 3: last year. I get he came back for the very end, 80 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: but this is a player who was a pick that 81 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: has had one thousand yard seasons that can change an offense, 82 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: and we didn't have him until the very end last year, 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: where basically because he attacked his rehab and got after it. 84 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 3: He was able to sprinkle in at the end. But 85 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: you can't really be part of the offense if you're 86 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 3: not part of it the entire season, right, you're not 87 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 3: really fully ingrained in it. You had Hollywood Brown back, 88 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: you have Verra she Rice for a full year, which 89 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: for she has been a monster in mini camp and 90 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 3: OTAs and everything, and of course you have Xavier Worthy 91 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: with a second year. I'm as fired up about it. 92 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: I'm going to keep saying it. Anyway, let's go around 93 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: the world. 94 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 2: So people forgot that around the NFL. 95 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 3: They forgot that she got hurt. They forgot that Hollywood. 96 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: Early he is hurt early, and that Hollywood Brown gets 97 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: hurt on the first play that he touched the ball 98 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: in preseason. 99 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: They're like, well, it's basically the same group. No, it's not. 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 3: We didn't have It's like, it's like we went out 101 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 3: and signed Rashi Rice and signed Hollywood Brown this offseason. 102 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: That's basically what it is. So anyway, I digress. So 103 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: five today, there's a user on YouTube. Their user name 104 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 3: is DFP Underscore one. They said they'd rep some DTK 105 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: gear if it ever becomes available, including a junior team 106 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 3: reporter shirt. I mean the merchandise, what opportunities are endless 107 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 3: we can We're gonna have like the super cool Kingdom 108 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: Defender shirt and a junior team reporter shirt and a 109 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 3: sophomore in a freshman team reporter. Come yeah, I mean listen, 110 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: we got to talk to somebody in marketing about this. 111 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 3: There's just opportunities. Remember talking about a listener who had 112 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 3: lived in Laos for a while, David well So Bill 113 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 3: wrote in and said that the s is actually silent 114 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: for Laotian so it's just Lao. So the more that 115 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: you listen to DTK, it's not just football stuff, you're 116 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 3: going to learn that the Philippines are in the northern 117 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 3: hemisphere amazing, and you're going to learn that if you're 118 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 3: going to Laos, it's actually Lao. So there you go. 119 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: The more Philippines actually moved. People don't know this. It 120 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: actually shifted. I know the Earth's going through some changes, 121 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: but the Philippines shifted from the southern hemisphere to the 122 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: northern hemisphere. That's been fascinating. So people can you know, 123 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: we went through OEI and so they can follow like 124 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: socioeconomic discussionstk Uh and of course geography and then culture, uh, 125 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: and get into Southeast Asian culture. 126 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: So it's LAO. 127 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: So we've talked more about we always have these acronyms 128 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: s C A C SO put s C A C 129 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: on here attendance, attitude, aos and Southeast Asian culture. 130 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: It's a lot of Southeast Asia. I didn't you know, 131 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 3: I think we'd get into that, but here we are. 132 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: So's it's the geography corner here on TTK, it's LAO. 133 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 3: So there you go, thank you, Bill. So Richard is 134 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: listening in southwest Texas, just west of San Antonio. 135 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: Yice.

Michael was an exchange student at Otis Bison High 185 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 3: School and buy some Kansas. He's been a chief fan 186 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: ever since. I think that's awesome because people come here, 187 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 3: they're around the culture for a while, and they're like, 188 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 3: even though I'm going back to Germany, I'm a Chiefs fan. 189 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 3: I'm in and I think that's great. His daughter is 190 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: an exchange student in Lawrence, and his whole family was 191 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: just in Kansas City, a few weeks ago and they 192 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: did a tour of the stadium and everything. So he's 193 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 3: still fully in Like this is thirty years ago he 194 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 3: was here and he's like a chiefs kingdom and he's 195 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 3: still a part of it. 196 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 2: He has he'll be in Frankfurt. Did he go to Frankfort? 197 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: Do we know for the game? 198 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: I don't know, Michael, let us know if you went 199 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: to Frankfurt for the game. I know it's sold out 200 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 3: super quick, so maybe not. 201 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: And if you're a small Kansas high school, the key 202 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: is when you get an exchange student, get the kicker. Yeah, 203 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: so when they apply, like Michael, coming from Leipzig, DEUTSCHLND, 204 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: have you kicked? 205 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 2: Can you kick? 206 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: And because you went, if you're going to get an 207 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: exchange student, then need to kick fifty yard field goals? 208 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: So does BiCon can nip?

We would sell them out. 242 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: You need to work on it. This has been years 243 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: and the shirts and we need a worldwide tour. 244 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 2: Do you have that? 245 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: And Lao we would have one of our shows in 246 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: Lao Wow and nut Laos?

Doesn't 249 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 3: really make a lot of sense to me, Like why 250 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: is oh? 251 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: Don't put an ass on laos?

I always wondered why are there different like 254 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 3: names for countries, Like why do we call Germany Germany 255 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 3: if it's deutsch Land? Like why is Germany Almannia in Spanish? 256 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 3: Makes no sense to me? 257 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: Like why? 258 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 3: I just don't get it, like if it's like why 259 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 3: do we call Paris Paris if it's Peri? You know 260 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 3: it's this is a June conversation. 261 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: V. 262 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: I don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me anyway. 263 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: But Lao, now we know when we go to Laos 264 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 3: or when we go to Lao, we're gonna be there 265 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 3: and we're gonna call it Lao and people are going 266 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 3: to be like, they know what they're talking about. 267 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna call it laos anymore. No, And if 268 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: I'm in some discussion, I go Lao, They're gonna go 269 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: don't you mean Laos? 270 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 2: No? 271 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: No? 272 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: So all right, that's part of attendance, yes, and attitude 273 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: and and aos. 274 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: She fast forwarded missed the Great Conversation. 275 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: So we're dealing with OTAs another acronym off season training activity. 276 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: We have been in this mode the last couple of weeks, 277 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: but it's been a very good week. 278 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna go what am I missing? What am 279 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: I missing? 280 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 1: Because these other teams talk about playing disc golf, going 281 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: to Hawaii, and I don't know, Let's go. 282 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 2: To the Lake. 283 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: The Chiefs in September under Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. 284 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: So I just took it back to eighteen when Pat 285 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: became the QB one because I think that's modern history 286 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: in the Chiefs Kingdom as far as what's been accomplished 287 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: since then. The Chiefs are nineteen and four in September. 288 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: They have had in that span which covers seven seasons. 289 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 1: They have had four undefeated Septembers in the seven seasons. Now, 290 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: what am I missing if you attack OTAs? Because when 291 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: you attack OTAs, you hit training camp on a full sprint. 292 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 1: You're not jogging to get going, it's a full sprint. 293 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 2: And then the. 294 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs have crushed September sands twenty one. It's the only 295 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: year that's the outlier when they were one and two. 296 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 3: And let's talk a little bit about what's actually happening 297 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: in OTAs. So Coatried often explains this if you listen 298 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 3: to his press conferences. The way it works is they 299 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 3: are doing real play installs during OTAs and a lot 300 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 3: of it is retention. So this time of year, there's 301 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: ninety players speed at full speed, yeah, walk through, not 302 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 3: holding your hand. There's ninety players and ninety one players actually, 303 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 3: if you include the international player Pathway program player, it's 304 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 3: on the roster. You have to narrow that down to 305 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 3: fifty three by late August, right, So how do you 306 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: do that? It's of course watching the guys on the field, 307 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 3: but it's also about retention. So Coatried will talk about 308 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: this all the time. On Day one of OTA's or 309 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 3: Day two, you install some plays and then next week 310 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: you see who retained it. You're not handholding. Hey we're 311 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 3: going to do this. You know how to do that, right. 312 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 3: We talked about it last week, and some players they 313 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 3: retain it, some don't. And the players that retain it, 314 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 3: oftentimes those are the guys that who are fighting for 315 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: roster spots will ultimately make the team. So the retention 316 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: is a big part of it because they're doing all 317 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 3: these play installs during OTAs and then they have that 318 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 3: break that you were talking about earlier. They hit training 319 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 3: camp on day one. Hey we're doing this. You remember this, right, 320 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 3: because we're not going to talk about it. We're going 321 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 3: to do it, and whoever retains it, those are the 322 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 3: players who make this team. So that's a big part 323 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: of it. It's also game planning for opponents, which I 324 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 3: think is so cool. Today's Friday that we're shooting this. 325 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: This is the final day of voluntary OTAs. Thursday yesterday 326 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 3: was an open practice that we could actually watch. It 327 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: was Raider Day. What does that mean? Well, there was 328 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: players out there who were kind of acting as scout 329 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: team players who had little pennies on that had numbers 330 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: of Raiders players, and the Chiefs were executing cards and. 331 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 2: Cards they're going off Raider cards. 332 00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: We were installing plays meant for the Raiders in June. 333 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: The day before that was Chargers Day, same idea. So 334 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 3: not only did the Chiefs take OTAs seriously, they attack it. 335 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 3: They install real plays, and they make sure they hit 336 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: training camp running. They are working on opponents. They're working 337 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: on divisional opponents in June. And you can't convince me 338 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: otherwise that when you get to these games, whether they 339 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 3: be in September or October, November, December, whenever, when you're 340 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: playing the Broncos, Raiders or Chargers, that every once in 341 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 3: a while, something that you learned in June helps months 342 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: down the line. It's like anything else that you're preparing for. So, yeah, 343 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 3: the fact that the Chiefs attack these like they do 344 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,479 Speaker 3: is one of the main reasons they've been so successful. 345 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: To your point, let's say they're playing the Raiders, it's 346 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: well into the season. The Chargers is Week one in 347 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: South Paulo. But there will be reference back to Hey, 348 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: on June the tenth or whatever it had been June 349 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: the thirteenth, I guess whatever. Yeah, yesterday was June the thirteenth. 350 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: Remember on June the thirteenth we put this in when 351 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: we ran that this way, we talked about that. 352 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: Then they'll go in August. 353 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: To fourteenth during camp we did they actually reference that. Yeah, 354 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: And so for a player, two things happen. For the 355 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: younger player, they're going, oh, maybe I better pay attention 356 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: on next year on June tenth, and then oh, yeah, 357 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: I do remember that. And for the players that have 358 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: been around, they understand it and get it. And so 359 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: it's an excellent point. Attendance is our first part of 360 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: this defending the Kingdom, and it's been phenomenal. In fact, 361 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: as on the average of the OTA so far, there's 362 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 1: been ninety two percent attendance. There were two days where 363 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: the entire defense was in OTA camp. Basically that is 364 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: mind boggling. Every defensive player was here. And Chris Jones 365 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: is my first attendance MVP of OTAs, and he's working 366 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: his butt off. Chris Jones is working at OTAs, and 367 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: I wish the rest of the league would take notice, 368 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: because how do the Chiefs, how are they nineteen and 369 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: four in Septembers under Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid Well, 370 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with Chris Jones 371 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: working his tail off on the defensive line. 372 00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: It's blown me away. 373 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: Remember he held out in twenty three and missed all 374 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: this and the Chiefs lost their first game. 375 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, figure this out. 376 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: So I think what it shows from everybody, guys like 377 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 3: Chris and Patrick Mahomes all the way down to players 378 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 3: fighting for a roster spot. It shows buy in and 379 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 3: it shows respect for coach Reid and for this program 380 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 3: because it's it would be really easy to be like 381 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 3: or professionals, or in the case of Chris, like I'm 382 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 3: a future Hall of Famer who's won Super Bowls. I 383 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 3: don't need to be going full speed in June. I 384 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 3: don't need to do that. But he's here for a 385 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: couple of reasons, to make himself better, but also to 386 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 3: lay an example for all the players that are also here, 387 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 3: right the younger players, the players that haven't maybe necessarily 388 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 3: established themselves yet or are fighting for a roster spot. 389 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,199 Speaker 3: We say this like every single week on DTK. But 390 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: when you see Chris Jones attacking a drill as hard 391 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 3: as he can in June and playing like he's trying 392 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: to make the team, if you're another player who doesn't 393 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 3: have a roster spot secured, Well you do that in 394 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 3: more some right. So it just shows great buy in, 395 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 3: I think. And I just love the attitude out there. 396 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 3: You know, it's the players are always going to attack 397 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 3: every single year and every single summer. That's the culture 398 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: that coach Read has built here. But I also believe 399 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 3: for the guys that were around for last season, when 400 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 3: you come off a loss in the super Bowl and 401 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: off a season that was otherwise incredibly successful, it's just 402 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 3: human nature that you want to get right back out there. 403 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 3: And you felt that vibe, right, You felt that, like 404 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 3: it's just a certinategy. 405 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: There's about a thirty day there's a thirty to forty 406 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: day period. You deal with it, right, You're likeugh. But 407 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: then and the fact that it has been such a 408 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: let's go, go go. 409 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,199 Speaker 2: It mouthwashes that quickly. Yeah, Like there's zero hangover from 410 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 2: the from the super Bowl, And I think that's your point. 411 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a hangover. It's more like a like 412 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 3: I'm ready to go, you know, like I'm fired up, 413 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: I'm ready to go. I don't want to be on 414 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 3: vacation right now. I don't want to be taking a 415 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 3: break from football. I want to get back out there 416 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 3: because I want to be on top of the mountaintop again, 417 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 3: you know. And that's the attitude that I've picked up on. 418 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 3: I'm not worried about a hangover with this team at all. 419 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 3: Like I don't ever worry about that with our guys. 420 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: To be honest, if you were, then just the OTAs 421 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: will tell you that there's no hangover. 422 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that goes back to your attitude. 423 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: Now, what was interesting too, I think of the so 424 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: I've looked at the new guys coming in, like Elijah 425 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: Mitchell who's rotated in a running back, and then Christian Fulton, 426 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: and I've talked to them after they're like, oh my gosh, 427 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: like you guys weren't kidding Like this feels like kind 428 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: of training camp ish. Well, but they know and they 429 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: but they've embraced it. It's not like they're going, hey, man, 430 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: I need to have like two weeks off of this. 431 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 2: What am I doing? 432 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 1: And then the younger guys, and we've talked about that 433 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: and they were kind of jumping around here, but being 434 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: ahead of schedule. The attitude of the younger guys has 435 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: been superlative. 436 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, And. 437 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: To your point about and we talked about Chris Jones 438 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: being here. Then you see George Carloft, as he's probably 439 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: the defensive MVP of OTA's going on hundre miles an hour. 440 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 1: If you're a I don't know because I izard and 441 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: you're an undrafted free agent or you're drafted like Ashton 442 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: Jelatti or Omar Norman Lot, you're going, Okay, this is 443 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 1: the way we do things here. Because he's going one 444 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour and he's been in the league 445 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: eight years so and he's probably going to be in 446 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and then I guess I better 447 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: try to go one hundred miles an hour. And so 448 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: you see that happen and it's not spoken, but it's felt. 449 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: And that's again goes back to why this team wins. 450 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: And what's so cool about that. I think about some 451 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 3: of the players that are setting the tone in this camp. 452 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 3: It's guys like Trent McDuffie and Leo'schanel and George carloftis right, 453 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: guys that not too long ago were rookies figuring this 454 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: all out. And what I think is cool about our 455 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 3: culture here and how it's so like ingrained in this building, 456 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 3: in this locker room, is that there's going to come 457 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 3: a time when a lot of our superstars are retired 458 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 3: and we're counting on Ashton Jelatti and Omar Norman lot 459 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 3: hopefully and guys like Glen Royal's hopefully down the road, 460 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 3: and you and I might be doing a podcast in 461 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 3: five years and we're talking about how, like, hey, Ashton 462 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 3: Jelatti is setting a tone today. But that's a cool thing, 463 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 3: isn't that Like that's a culture thing. Like you you 464 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 3: get here and yeah, right away you're like, oh, okay, 465 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,159 Speaker 3: this is how we do things. And they'll then be 466 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 3: expected to set that tone soon enough, and we're seeing 467 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 3: that with the twenty twenty two class for sure. 468 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: Absolutely. 469 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: So let's go through your defensive guys that you have 470 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: been like, oh man, this has been a really good 471 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: ota for them. And again we put a precursor on 472 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: this that fans can go get a little too excited. 473 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: OTAs are important. It's it's summer school, that's real, but 474 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: it's also don't just so okay, this is going to 475 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 1: guarantee a great season. It's not necessarily just sets you 476 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,959 Speaker 1: up to hit camp on a full sprint to hit 477 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: September in a full sprint to have a great season. Okay, 478 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: it's just just sequential here, but there are some guys 479 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: that have caught my attention. Let's start defensively, because we 480 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: always start offensively. Let's start on defense. Who's caught your 481 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 1: attention in OTAs? 482 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: Can I add one thing to what you were just saying? 483 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 3: It's preparation right and all liken it to what you 484 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 3: do because what people don't see is how much you prepare. 485 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: You prepare more than anyone I have ever met for 486 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 3: every broadcast, and that preparation people don't see it, but 487 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 3: it helps you do what you do. OTA is are 488 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 3: preparation right, And just because you prepare a lot doesn't 489 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: mean that you'll have a great broadcast. You will because 490 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 3: you're you, But that preparation allows you to go out 491 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 3: there and do great. Same thing with the team. This 492 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 3: is preparation right now. And some teams don't choose to 493 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: prepare this time of year. They just don't. We'll prepare 494 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 3: later on during training camp or during the preseason. The 495 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 3: Chiefs they take this time to prepare. If you have 496 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 3: a chance to study for a test and you want 497 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 3: to do great on that test. You study for it 498 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: every single chance that you get. That's what the Chiefs 499 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 3: are doing right now. All right, a few defensive players 500 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 3: that have stood out to me, So we mentioned George Carloftis. 501 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 3: I mean, he's been great. He's made like standout plays 502 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 3: every practice that we've been able to watch. On Thursday, 503 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 3: he knocked down a pass at the line of scrimmage. 504 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 3: We love like when our guys are like swat team 505 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 3: right Like, he was awesome. So he just has like 506 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 3: an energy to him. He's going to have a great year. 507 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 3: I think he just has looked great every single practice 508 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 3: that we've been able to watch. Omar Norman Lot, this 509 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 3: was hilarious. So the more you can do right. Omar 510 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: Norman Lot is primarily going to be a pass rushing 511 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 3: three tech defensive tackle for US, but he dropped into 512 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 3: coverage during one eleven on eleven drill and made a 513 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 3: play on the ball and deflected the pass and he 514 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 3: was fired up about it. So he's just an athletic 515 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 3: player that is going to help this team win. Jaden 516 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 3: Hicks keeps standing out to me. So this season is 517 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 3: a big opportunity for Jaden because Justin Reed is no 518 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 3: longer in town. So Jaden's going to play a whole lot. 519 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,719 Speaker 3: He stood out to us last year in his limited 520 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 3: playing time, but he's going to play a lot this season, 521 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 3: and he's making the most of his opportunity. In OTAs 522 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 3: for sure, he made a great play. I think it 523 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: was the first play of seven on seven yesterday, great 524 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 3: play deep down the sideline went up and forced an incompletion. 525 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 3: So Jaden Hicks looking really good. And then here's a 526 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 3: player who's kind of under the radar that might be 527 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 3: worth watching during training camp. It's Brandon George. He's an 528 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 3: undrafted free agent out of pitt think about like the 529 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 3: Swaezy Bosman Jack Cochran kind of mold these players that 530 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 3: are undrafted free agents, but they get an opportunity and 531 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 3: they run with it. Brandon George has a chance to 532 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 3: be that guy just because he looked great. He has 533 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: some crazy measurables. I wrote about him when we first 534 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 3: signed him. He had like a crazy vertical jump that 535 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 3: if he was at the Combine would have been like 536 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 3: among the top players, top linebackers at the combine. So 537 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 3: super athletic, and he showed off that athleticism yesterday with 538 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 3: an interception over the middle like a leaping pick just 539 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 3: snatched it out of the sky. So Brandon George is 540 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 3: a player to watch as well for sure, Like as 541 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 3: a special teamer. 542 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was hub of the wheel kind of Nick 543 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: boltin Ish at Pitt like he was a big part 544 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: of that program both on and off the field. And 545 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: he's interesting my defenders and I'm going to include Hicks, 546 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,479 Speaker 1: and not just Hicks from a physical standpoint, but from 547 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,159 Speaker 1: a mental standpoint. We noticed last Yearne he embraced it 548 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: to be personal protector on punt is a big deal 549 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: and so he got thrust into that role, which tells 550 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: you Dave toab trusted him because he's calling out protections 551 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: for everybody. He has to know the defensive front on 552 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: a punt on them, on punt returner, pump block, and 553 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: he's if that personal protector blows the call, then you're 554 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: going to have disaster. So not only that, but that 555 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: led him into this year and you see him mentally 556 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: because think of the Justin Reid role over the past 557 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: couple of years. Hicks is just on a fast track 558 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: I think to become a real impact player who could 559 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: be a player of honor throughout the league coming up. 560 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: Another one is Nazi Johnson. I think Nazi Johnson has 561 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: had an outstanding series of OTAs here and he's rotated 562 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: in a different spots. Hey, he had a pick with 563 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 1: the mits on, didn't he was the interception They put 564 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: mits on so they won't grab DPI. Right, So it's 565 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: a Spags Dave Merritt thing. 566 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 3: You're a training thing. 567 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're. 568 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: It's gonna what you're gonna climb a rope and pe 569 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,679 Speaker 1: class with mits arm. 570 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 2: That's what it feels like. 571 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: But he had he intercepted the ball where he had 572 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: no hands. 573 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 3: Just with his forearms. It was awesome. 574 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's you watch his technique and you watch 575 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: what he's been able to do uh as far his 576 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: footwork and Nazy Johnson's taken a jump up uh in 577 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: my opinion. But again, don't go crazy with this. Just 578 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 1: understand that if you see him in Saint Joseph having 579 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 1: an outstanding day at camp, you knew what he was 580 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 1: doing in May and June on the defensive side. 581 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 3: And he's healthy, is the thing. I understand. He was 582 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 3: technically healthy last year, but when you're that first year 583 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 3: off of an ACL, it's really hard and and anyone 584 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 3: that's had an ACL injury will tell you that. Like, 585 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 3: he is a full two years removed from that ACL 586 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 3: injury now and he's healthy and he's confident. So I'm 587 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 3: fired up for nausey too. 588 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: Really good point. 589 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,639 Speaker 1: You remember who kind of gave us the window that 590 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: was because Turk goes. Really now I'm feeling like I'm 591 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: healthy again. When Turk was taken off, it's led to 592 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: a big contract for him. But that's a really good 593 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: point in that regard. I'm gonna put an Ashton Jalatti 594 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: in here again, don't get ahead of ourselves, but Ashton 595 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: Jalotti has got a lot to his game. This was 596 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: more than him just being kind of an edge rush 597 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: er fill in guy. He has the ability to drop. 598 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 1: I asked him if Louisville did they have you turn 599 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: your hips and drop because now not really, I'm trying 600 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: to learn it, but there's a natural you see his 601 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: natural reaction. 602 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: So OTAs aren't pads. I really can't tell. It's the 603 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: run around. In short, it's no. 604 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 1: There are things that you can see, whether it's footwork 605 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: or understanding or you know, capturing it mentally. But you 606 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: also see the skill of an Ashton Jalatti who can 607 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: do a lot of things for Spags in being a 608 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: rotational player. With the defensive front that has a chance 609 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: to be outstanding. You're looking at fourteen defensive players, but 610 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's gonna be interesting in camp. But 611 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: the mix and match coming the defensive front that Spags 612 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 1: has now probably the best he's ever had, in my opinion, 613 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: and we've seen it, no ty. 614 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, looking at it here in June. This defensive line, 615 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 3: I think is going to be really talented, and there's 616 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: going to be some good players that don't make the 617 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 3: team just because of all the talent that we have. 618 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 3: And that's a good problem to have. 619 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: This speech mad at us now because everybod's going to 620 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: be watching our d line, all right, they do anyway, 621 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: Let's go to the offensive side. 622 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 2: Who's impressed here? 623 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: Yeah? So offensive side. We mentioned Rashi earlier. Rashid just 624 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 3: keeps standing out every single day. I talked about it 625 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,880 Speaker 3: last week, but it was reasonable to be curious when 626 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 3: he could get back on the field and actually do 627 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: stuff because he got hurt in late September. But it 628 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 3: sounds like his surgery and rehab went great. I mean, 629 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 3: we were kind of following along and we were extremely 630 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 3: cautiously optimistic about his outlook, and we're seeing it now 631 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 3: on the field. He's just looked awesome. He looks like 632 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: he did this time last year when he would have 633 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 3: been on track for a monster season. Thursday, specifically, he 634 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 3: caught five passes during seven on seven and eleven on eleven, 635 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 3: and there's a lot of players mixing in during these periods. 636 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: To have five catches means that you're getting a lot 637 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 3: of targets, that you're getting open, and that you're making 638 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 3: the most of those targets. So Rashid continues to look 639 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 3: explosive and fast and physical and like he's going to 640 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 3: have a great year. So I'm very hopeful for Rashid 641 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 3: and your guy, Brichhard Smith made one of the plays 642 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 3: of the day. It was really kind of a two 643 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 3: parter where it was a great throw by Patrick Mahomes 644 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 3: and a great catch by Brashard deep down the sideline. 645 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 3: This is a player that if you've been following along 646 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: as a former wide receiver that made the move to 647 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 3: running back his final year at SMU, and he looks 648 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 3: like a receiver with how he attacks the ball. How 649 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 3: he runs routes and how he goes down the sideline. 650 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 3: So Brishard Smith is going to help us in the 651 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 3: passing game for sure. It was just a really really 652 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 3: impressive play during seven on seven. A lot of red 653 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 3: zone stuff yesterday which was fun to watch. They'll often 654 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 3: do like these things called special categories where they're executing 655 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 3: a scenario. Essentially, it's all kinds of stuff. And when 656 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 3: Mahomes after games says, hey, we practice this, he's not lying. 657 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 3: They actually practiced these situations and a lot of times 658 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 3: we don't know what the situation is, we have to 659 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 3: kind of infer it. So what I think the situation 660 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 3: was on Thursday was a red zone situation where there's 661 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 3: twenty seconds on a running clock and you have to 662 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 3: get two snaps off, Like imagine it. You're at the 663 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 3: fifteen and Mahomes it's Pacheco for like an eight yard game. Well, 664 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 3: you got to get up on the ball because you 665 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 3: don't have any timeout, so you can't spike it. Maybe 666 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 3: it's fourth down, I don't know, and you have to 667 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: try to get it in the end zone and uh 668 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 3: Pachecko and Noah Gray both caught touchdowns during that situation. 669 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 3: So that was a fun situation to watch. 670 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's again it's why they're so good in 671 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: those situations as so they wrap them even in the summertime. 672 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: This is going to sound really stupid, but Patrick Mahomes 673 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: has had phenomenal OTAs he was on fire. 674 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: He's on fire. 675 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 3: He's awesome. 676 00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: And you know who else has been impressive as Gardner minshew, Yeah, agreed. 677 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: Irony of him. Well, he was, you know, repping the 678 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: Raiders stuff. 679 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 3: He was the Raiders scout team quarterback. It's like, this 680 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 3: guy knows it. He's perfect. 681 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's you know, it's bringing Halliburton to come 682 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: in to run the uh the Pacers scout team offense 683 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: for the opponent. Yeah, with the thunder in practice. Okay, 684 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: that Haliburton. But so it's kind of funny. But Mahomes 685 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: has been remarkable and I know that's no but I'm 686 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: telling you another level and the explosiveness, the potential of explosiveness. 687 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: Don't go crazy with this, please, just we've seen the 688 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: potential this team being more explosive. I'm really interested in 689 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: the running back room. The offensive line. Part of our 690 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: discussion here is we talked about attendance, attitude, and aos 691 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: ahead of schedule, the offensive lines ahead of schedule, Kingsley 692 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: Suamatia Simmons is getting more reps than I thought we 693 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: would see. Don't go crazy with it, just is there. Uh. 694 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: And then Mike Calliendo has made the jump up. At 695 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 1: the very least, if Mike Kellyando becomes the new Nick Allegretti, 696 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: which he's looking like he could be, that's a big 697 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: deal for this team. Whether they go and tackle over 698 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 1: tackle snaps during the regular season, which our division is 699 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: now doing with regularity. Teams are just putting they're going 700 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: six million offensive line in our division and that's what 701 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: they're running. That'll be in a base offense for them. Well, 702 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: we could maybe do the same. But if Kelly Endo 703 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: has got to increase there, but the offensive line is 704 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 1: just ahead of schedule, I would say, now there's work 705 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: to go, lots of work to do. But on June, 706 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: the middle of June, this team and way ahead in 707 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: all phases. But they're all o lines, way ahead where 708 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: I thought it would be mid June. All Right, Finally, 709 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: special teams. I'm really excited about special teams. And I'm 710 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna start with Breshard Smith. Yeah, okay, Breshard Smith, we 711 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: have seen it. There's going to be some potential. And 712 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: go back and look at his SMU video. There's a 713 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: little Tyreek kill punt return in him. He can make 714 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: a wrecking issue and make a move where he's not 715 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,719 Speaker 1: even thinking about it and all of a sudden he's 716 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: nearly gone before you're like, what's happening here? Like, so 717 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: there's a lot of instinct to his game. The other 718 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: one would be potentially exavier worthy. Now I'm gonna I'm 719 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: gonna ask you quest questions here. The last kickoff return 720 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: for a touchdown. 721 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 2: In Chief's history, it was probably Tyreek, right. 722 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: It actually was a Byron Pringle against Denver one hundred. 723 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 2: And two yards. Oh yeah, in the snow, right in 724 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 2: the snow, Yeah. 725 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: In one of those weird October snowstorms in Denver, October 726 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,760 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty ten. But I forgot about that. We're 727 00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: talking a long time ago. That's you know, I'm sorry 728 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: ten in. 729 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 3: Its twenty it was twenty one, twenty two. 730 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: It was twenty twenty twenty COVID year, I think, yeah, yeah, 731 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: it was yeah, all right. 732 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 3: Last that's when Dan Swarnson had it picked six tip six. 733 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm doing the game in the studio, all right, 734 00:33:58,640 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: no time I remember. 735 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 3: It wasn't like it was five years ago. 736 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 2: Less punt return for a touchdown? 737 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 3: Punt return, Okay, that was probably Tyreek. If it wasn't, 738 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 3: let me guess it wasn't Tyreek. Okay, least punt return 739 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 3: for a touchdown? 740 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 2: Hint. I did it in studio. 741 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 3: So it's twenty twenty. Okay, Oh man, um punt return 742 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 3: for a touchdown. Someone's in their car right now, just 743 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 3: screaming the ag. I don't know who was it. 744 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: Mcole Hardman sixty seven yards. 745 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 3: It's a dolphiny Dolphins. 746 00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 2: I knew that. But here's the point. That's twenty twenty, Yeah, 747 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 2: long time ago. 748 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: We think what's happened in twenty one, twenty two, twenty three, 749 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: twenty four and no pun or kick returns for touchdowns. 750 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: I'm telling you on June mid June, I don't want 751 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,480 Speaker 1: to get ahead of myself. On twenty twenty five. You 752 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: got a way more chance of that happening this year 753 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,280 Speaker 1: because of the cats that will be touching the football 754 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: and throwing Nico Ramihio in. 755 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,880 Speaker 3: This Yeah, because Nico almost had one last year against Pittsburgh. 756 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, and set the tone for that game, yeah, 757 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 1: on Christmas. And so the fact that that you can 758 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: be more explosive in the special team's return game is 759 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,640 Speaker 1: something the Chiefs haven't had in a while. So it's 760 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,920 Speaker 1: like the Dante Hall is way underrated. What he did 761 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: for those early two thousand offensive teams I've seen was 762 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: so good offensive league. They got the ball to forty 763 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: because he's returning kicks or he goes the distance, and 764 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: then oh, does the offense get credit for that seven? No, 765 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: you have a chance with Burshard Smith, xavier' Worthy, Niko Remihio, 766 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 1: it's the most explosive group collectively I've seen since the 767 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: early days of Tyrek. 768 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 2: Okay. 769 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 3: Now I'm into that as well, especially with the rule 770 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 3: change with kickoffs. Like we talked about it a lot 771 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 3: last year, it didn't really come to fruition because I 772 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 3: think teams are comfortable just kicking touchbacks and letting offenses 773 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 3: start at the thirty But now it's the thirty five 774 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,560 Speaker 3: and at least Coach Toe thinks that we're going to 775 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:47,800 Speaker 3: see like an enormous increase in kickoffs that are actually 776 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 3: returned on both sides. I anticipate us doing a lot 777 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 3: of that. And if a guy like Burshard Smith is 778 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 3: back there with not just straight line speed, but like 779 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,319 Speaker 3: dynamic functional speed where he can cut and make a 780 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 3: guy miss and then be off to the races, yeah, 781 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: you could have some big plays on kickoff and also 782 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 3: on punt return. So I'm fired up about that. We 783 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,760 Speaker 3: have some guys that can do it, like Noel Williams 784 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 3: could do it as well, like he was a great 785 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 3: kick returner at Cal And yeah, Xavier Worthy coach Tobe 786 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,359 Speaker 3: described him as the best punt returner in the league 787 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 3: that no one is talking about because think of this. 788 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 2: He would have done it last year. 789 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 3: He would have done it, and he could do it 790 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: this year because the reason he didn't do it last 791 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 3: year is because we lost all of our receivers and 792 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 3: he had to only play offense. But if She and 793 00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 3: Hollywood are healthy, Xavier is still obviously going to play 794 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,279 Speaker 3: a lot on offense, but his snaps won't be as 795 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 3: high because he's not the only guy out there for you. 796 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 3: So yeah, you can put him occasionally on punt return 797 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 3: and just go flip on his tape at Texas and 798 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 3: see what he can do as a punt returner. So 799 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 3: I'm with you. I'm just hoping we can stay healthy 800 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 3: throughout the year because we have some great players that 801 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 3: could do a lot of things for us. 802 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: I think if your favorite team, well Kingdom Defenders, are 803 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: listening to this or watching them and listening to this, 804 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,479 Speaker 1: just call your buddy whose favorite team is playing disc 805 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: golf during OTAs on the sand and I don't know Cabo, 806 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 1: and then tell him your team has had awesome attendance, 807 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: awesome attitude, and is ahead of schedule in the OTAs.
