So let's start 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: around the world first of all. And we did have 45 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: people here today from practice from Australia. Super cool, right 46 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: from Sydney, Australia, if I understand it correctly.

We've got Dennis in Switzerland, 64 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: Dylan in Plainville, Kansas, Cardinals. He said that you were 65 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: a motivational speaker for his class in nineteen ninety nine. 66 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: That's that's not good. Yeah, I'm sure his life is 67 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: just disintegrated after all. I mean, he listens to the DTK, 68 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: so apparently you did something right. We've got Malcolm and 69 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: Lee's summit. Uh. Tonica is listening in San Antonio. Dennis 70 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: is representing the Kingdom as a member of the thirty 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: fifth Infantry Division in Southwest Asia. Pretty cool. That's awesome. Um, 72 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: Tom and old Forge of Pennsylvania been a fan for 73 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: more than forty years. Chris just moved to Poland and 74 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: setting up Chief's Kingdom Poland. So good news there, Chris, 75 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: keep doing that. We've got Carl and Carlisle, Pennsylvania. But 76 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: he's originally from Lawson Missouri, Perry in the Philippines. We 77 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: have lots of listeners in the Philippines. I've noticed that 78 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: the Chief's Kingdom is just all over, Yeah, the islands 79 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: of the Philippines. It's impressive stuff. Rasta and Taylor are 80 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: in Myrtle Beach, but they're originally from Lebanon, Missouri. And 81 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: then lastly below Jackets, there you go. Lastly, we've got 82 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: Michelle in central Florida. She declared it Arrowhead South Orlando. 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: Why good? Pretty cool? And so earlier in camp just 84 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: to remind you, we also had a family here from 85 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: azur Berjean. We're not making it up. Chief's Kingdom is worldwide. Well, 86 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: let's jump in now to our reaction. Let's look back 87 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 1: quickly at the Chicago game last Saturday, Chiefs lose at 88 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: nineteen fourteen, two completely different games. The Chiefs were dominating 89 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: the first half. But I did love shop the way 90 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: the Chiefs in the first half of the ones and 91 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: some twos either dominated or dictated almost every snap with 92 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: a few exceptions in that first half against the Bears 93 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: and justin fields, Well, what you did is you saw 94 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs playing very sharp and fast and quick, getting 95 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: the line getting asigned, not many mistackles, not many false 96 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: starts in any of those penalties before and after the snapped. 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: It kind of make you feel bad about the product 98 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 1: on the field. The offense was so so efficient getting 99 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: down the field, scoring the first drive, and then able 100 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: to put up another score before halftime, to go in 101 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: up two scores. Is what you believe the team to be. 102 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: A team that's reckoned, prepared for the playoffs, prepared for 103 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: this season. Not many changes making from a coaching staff 104 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: in the philosophy, so this train was already rolling. We had, 105 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: we had some young players, some rookies just jump on 106 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: on the train. But we didn't miss a beat. We 107 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: didn't again, just so sharp with the alignment. Assignment. That's 108 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: the one thing when I was looking at the game, 109 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: I was looking at the communication on the back end. 110 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: How well was the guys on the back end where 111 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: they're on the same page, where they seeing things the 112 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: same way? And then offense league was the receiver seeing 113 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 1: things through coach Andy Reids and the enemy's eyes, but 114 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: also through Pat's eyes where the receivers where they're supposed 115 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: to be, or was Pat having to Patrick actually having 116 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: to hold it an extra account too, and I didn't 117 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: see any of that. I saw a very efficient offense 118 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: and our defense got the job done. Obviously, big plays 119 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: by the rookie defenseman going in letting his motor just 120 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: continue to work to get that sack, and then Chris 121 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: Jones coming up very big to play a play stopping 122 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: sack to end the drive. So I saw everything I 123 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: needed to see on defense and offense. Special teams, we 124 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: saw a couple of wrinkles. I don't know how many 125 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: of those who want to let out the bag so 126 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: early in the preseason, but we know we got an 127 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: emergency kicker if we need it. He probably can punt 128 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: the ball too if necessary. But we just got a 129 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: team full of really well, well rounded athletes, and I 130 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: think we saw that in the Chicago Bears game, and 131 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: we're hoping to see a repeat of that, I think 132 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: preparing for the Commandos. Yeah, and we're we're also sharing 133 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: a team that could have your heart by November first, 134 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: because this is a defense. It looks like they traded 135 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: in steel toe boots for roller blades. They're just so 136 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: much faster what we've seen on the field translated to Chicago. 137 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Were your thoughts mat Yeah. I mean it's tough with 138 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: preseason games, especially the first one because there's no game planning. 139 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: But the defense in the first half really couldn't have 140 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: looked any better. I don't think if you look at 141 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: the numbers. I mean the Bears punted on their first 142 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: five possessions, including two three and outs, and the first 143 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: half the Bears ran twenty seven total plays, nineteen of 144 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: them gained less than five yards, and eleven of those 145 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: plays gained either zero or negative yards. So that's exciting. 146 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: Just a total of one hundred and twenty three yards 147 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: gained for the Bears in that first half. That included 148 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: three possessions for Justin Fields. Just seventy eight yards allowed 149 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: for Justin Fields's offense by this Chief's defense. So exciting stuff. 150 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: I think some standouts for me you mentioned George Carloftis 151 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: really impressed the performance by him. He had four pressures 152 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: in a sack, showed a lot of bend around the edge, 153 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: the athleticism that we were hoping to see from him. 154 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: So George Carloftis, I think, is the major takeaway from that. 155 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: But Torshaun Wharton had a sneaky good game. He had 156 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: three pressures on just twelve pass rush snaps, so very 157 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: efficient Leo Chanelle, seven tackles, no misses. That's what we 158 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: were hoping to see out of him. That's the kind 159 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: of player he is, and we certainly saw that. And 160 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, we've talked about the intensity and the energy 161 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: that he's shown throughout this camp and we're like, let's 162 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: see if it carries over to the game. I think 163 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: it did. On the third snap for the Bears, Chris 164 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: Jones comes blasting through the line and sacks just in fields. 165 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm loving what I'm seeing from Chris. A little injury 166 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: here today, he has a back and left practice a 167 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: little bit early with a sore back. But hopefully Chris 168 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: is okay. But very exciting to see what he did 169 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: against the Bears. You know, I love to subtle. As 170 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: I watched the video, he puts fields in the trash 171 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: compactor and then just runs off the field like this 172 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: is what I'm supposed to do. It was awesome to 173 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: see that little subtle thing. And I'll just tag this. 174 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: As we moved to the second item, the tough catches, 175 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: we all ooh, and all of the forty yard touchdown 176 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: there were eight tough catches in this game, either quick slants, 177 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: in cuts or drag your toe, and Justin Watson had 178 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: three of them, got smoked on a couple of them. 179 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: Sky more Head two of them. Ms Mark Quiselle is 180 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: Scandaling had one, and Derese Fountain had two of them, 181 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: and five of them were for first downs. That is 182 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: like something I don't care if it's a preseason game 183 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: or it's played in the park. If you make those catches, 184 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: that bodes well for the season. Now let's go to 185 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: our second item, and that is the three days we 186 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: just witnessed here. Tomorrow is Military Appreciation Day as we 187 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: close out this portion of camp. Matt, I'm gonna start 188 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: with you. Now we've been I've been around coach now 189 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: for ten years, but I've learned what these three days mean. 190 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: After the first preseason game, he does not let up 191 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: at all. So the whole first two weeks of camp 192 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: we called that the ramp up period, and they had 193 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: seven padded practices and eleven days and it was all 194 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: about getting out there and playing football again, getting out 195 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: there in the pads, getting used to the physical contact. 196 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: They increased the practice duration time over that first week 197 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: from an hour and a half to eventually two hours 198 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: and twenty five minutes, and that's what every padded practice 199 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: has been since then. So that's the ramp up period. 200 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: I think that the time after that first game when 201 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 1: they come back here to Saint Joe is kind of 202 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 1: the hang on period, because you've ramped up to football activity, 203 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: you've traveled to a different city, you've gone and played 204 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: a real game. But now you come back to Saint 205 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: Joe and you're doing this all again. You're in the 206 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: dorms again, they're going through the meetings, and you go 207 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: out there and have a padded practice and three straight 208 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: padded practices from Monday until today Wednesday. So that's tough. 209 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: That's tough on your body, it's tough mentally. And who 210 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: is going to power through that time. Who comes out 211 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: here on Monday earlier this week and still impresses It's 212 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: like they were two weeks ago. And that's what the 213 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: coaches are trying to figure out right now. One interesting 214 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: thing is coach Spagnolo talked about how on Tuesday he 215 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: was not impressed with the defense on Monday, he didn't 216 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: like how they looked. He challenged them that night to say, hey, 217 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: this is the time you have to impress. This is 218 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: the time you have to go out there and really 219 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: give it your all. And he said that they were 220 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 1: pretty good on Tuesday, so hopefully he continues to see 221 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: that over the next several days. But I think this 222 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: is the hang on period where yeah, you went out 223 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: there in Chicago, maybe you had a good game, but 224 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: then you have to come back here and keep doing 225 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: Groundhog Day where you're coming out here in pads and impressing. 226 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: And that's where we're gonna see who's gonna make this 227 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: team on the bottom end of that roster, who can 228 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: power through this time? Yeah, and they were. I thought 229 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 1: the defense was better than good of the pick six 230 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: by Justin Reid comes to mind. Big time play today 231 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: by Trent mcduffee, just ripping it out, clude Clyde, Everards 232 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: and brand in the whole defensive sideline erupts. These three days. Now, 233 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: you've helped coach in this camp before you know what 234 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: these three days are like. The guys seem to have 235 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,560 Speaker 1: handled it. Maybe the weather gave us a break because 236 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: the weather was awesome these three days. But what did 237 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: these three days mean? Not just for now shop in 238 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: your opinion your experience for even down the road. Well, 239 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: it's long for players, but it's also long for coaches. 240 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you get the coach and you get in 241 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: the rhythm, and then you got to take the flight, 242 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: and then you get in the hotel room in the 243 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: comforts of its real stadium. And now, like you say, 244 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: you come back to the small dorms and the meeting 245 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: rooms and the you know, it's kind of this compact 246 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: area that's not what you're accustomed to as an NFL coach, 247 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: So you got to refocus yourself also, and as a coach, 248 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: you don't want to get into that lull of thinking, 249 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: I've got it all worked out. We know who's the ones, 250 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: who's the twos, who's the threes, we know the guys 251 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: that might be on the cut line. So let's just 252 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: keep sad. As quote, you're always pushing guys to go 253 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: from good to being great, and that even in the 254 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,319 Speaker 1: dog days, even once you come back from the Bearers game, 255 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: I want to see who can take a day off, 256 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: come back on Monday, tuned in, focused, ready to go 257 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: attack the day and get something out of each and 258 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: every day. You only have so many opportunities to get 259 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: better before the season starts. Each moment, each there's a 260 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: there's a point of emphasis each practice, Each individual player 261 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: has talked to a position coach what is your what 262 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: is your focus today? How are you going to get 263 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: better individually? And how you're gonna help us be a 264 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 1: better team collectively to help us win on game day. 265 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: That has to be a challenge. You worked in the 266 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: mirror each and every morning before you start these dog 267 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: days of camp, and whoever can get it done, especially 268 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: in this atmosphere right now, Like you said, after hitting 269 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: the other team, the opponents, dragging them to the ground, 270 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: you haven't had a chance to do that all summer long. 271 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: You get a taste of that. Some people just us 272 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: half a quarter, a few plays and now it's back 273 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: to playing tempo rap, take it down to the ground third, 274 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: all the different tempos. You gotta be able to tune 275 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: it down. But mentally you have to still be focusing 276 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: and hitting on all cylinders. So that's the challenge. That's 277 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: the ups and lows, the hills and valleys that players 278 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: have to constantly put themselves to to create that Mamba mindset, 279 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: that mindset of no matter what the situation is, I'm 280 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: gonna give my all and everything on this field to 281 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: make sure my alignment, my signment, and my attitude and accountability, 282 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: my communication across the board is playing at an all 283 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: pro level no matter what the situation. And we saw 284 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: guys get it done here today on a very high level. 285 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: And one more quick thought on that shopping I were 286 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: watching practice and he was talking about how when he played, 287 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,079 Speaker 1: how different training camp was. So this is practice. This 288 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: number nineteen if you include the rookie days, So what 289 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: only fifteen if you don't. It's a lot of practices. 290 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: But back in here day you were practicing like yeah, 291 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: he walked up hills to school both ways. But the 292 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: point is that back then you had more time to prepare, right, 293 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: you'd more practice time to prepare. The way the rules 294 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: are now is you have to maximize every single day, truly, 295 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: because you already don't have a lot of time. So 296 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: when you come back from Chicago and you have a 297 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: couple of padded practices in a row, yeah it's tough. 298 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: But coach Reid is the master of this. He is 299 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: maximizing every single day. And I can't say that for 300 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: every coach round the week. One observation before we move on. 301 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: Anthony Sherman, recently retired fullback, came on Monday. He said, 302 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 1: why do you think I'm here today? He said, I'm 303 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: here today because usually this is the worst practice of camp. 304 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: Just what we just talked about. He says, I'm going 305 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: to be here today to encourage him. I saw him 306 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: after practice. He goes, I didn't have to say a word. 307 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: These guys were It's awesome. So when the sausage speaks, 308 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: everybody listens. And now we're gonna talk about the Commanders 309 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: game briefly for the game coming up on Saturday afternoon 310 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: three at gha Field at Arrowheads Stadium. But it's practice 311 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: for you as well in the stadium, the rookies of 312 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: all cities. It really that cool? Is it really that cool? 313 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: Just wait, just wait, Well, that depends on you. Also, 314 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: it's Red Friday time because the regular season is coming soon, 315 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: and that means we're getting ready for Red Friday, the 316 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: one of the great traditions in the NFL.

But what 334 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: do you want to shape from the Chiefs in preseason 335 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: game number two, I did some growth. I want to 336 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: see some growth. I want to see our our dbs 337 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: and our secondary guys even take a step further of 338 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: challenging their receiving corps. Um. They have a good receiving 339 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: corps obviously, scary. Terry is one of the you know, 340 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: top ten, top fifteen receivers in the league, and I 341 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: think he'll give our guys a good challenge. Let's work 342 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: our mirror work, our footwork, workout responsibility, you know our leverage, 343 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: and don't get caught outside your leverage. Um, you know, 344 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: being able to respond to a good start. You know, 345 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of three and out, it's a bunch of 346 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: punts in the first half, but maybe even you know, 347 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind seeing some adversity, seeing how they how 348 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: they rebound against a deep ball being completed on them, 349 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: giving up a first dawn to mistag or something like that. 350 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: To see that defense kind of come back together and say, 351 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: all right, hey, this is where we stop them, this 352 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: is where we make our stand. I would like to see. 353 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: I would like to see some goal line stances. I 354 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: would like to see some third and longs, third and longs, 355 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: some thirdin shorts, maybe some unusual down and distances and 356 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: stuff like that. We know that the Chiefs can bring pressure, 357 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: we know guys can get there, we know gas can cover, 358 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: so maybe even down in the back and see him 359 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: just some basic cover two cover one, some orbits watching 360 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: the safety's rock and roll. Get back to some basic 361 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: fundamental stuff, get some reps under our belt. Let's see 362 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: a long thirteen play drive. I want to see our 363 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: guys kind of get tested a little bit before the 364 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: regular season starts. So I know that's something that our 365 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: fans don't want to see because that means the other 366 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: team is getting first downs. But there's nothing wrong with 367 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: going through that right now, so you can get your 368 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: win and get your get accustomed to it, get acclimated 369 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: to those long drives because you know during the season 370 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna see some long drives. So I would like 371 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: to see that in preseeing game number two. So Terry McLaren, 372 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: we've talked about this years. I think he's one of 373 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: the more underrated receivers in the league. They have Johan Dotson. 374 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: Now they picked up who is lightning fast and more 375 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: like a mcole hardman to receiver. All right, Matt, what 376 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: do you want to see in this game against the Commanders. Well, 377 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: a couple of things. I'd like to see the run 378 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: game get going a little bit, just fifty two rushing 379 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: yards last week. The running game is so hard to 380 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: work on in the off season because you're not wearing 381 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: pads until training camp, and even then it's difficult. You 382 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: only have so many practices, so it's understandable wall why 383 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: it takes a little while to really get going. But 384 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: I'd like to see progress in the running game. We 385 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: have such a deep backfield, I think, and we're trying 386 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: to figure out who's going to make this team at 387 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: running back, so hopefully we'll see something out of the 388 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: running game. I think it would be good for the 389 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: offensive line as well, because offensive lineman love blocking for 390 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: the run to go up and push somebody over, so 391 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: hopefully we see some of that. I'd also love to 392 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: see the efficiency we saw from the first team offense 393 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: once again. That was one of the biggest takeaways from 394 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: the game. Is Patrick Mahomes completed six passes on his 395 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: loan drive, each of them to a different player. Let's 396 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: see Michael Burton, Mcole Hardman, Travis Kelsey, Marquez Veld's scantling 397 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: as Aia Pacheco and Blake Bell all caught a pass 398 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,959 Speaker 1: on that drive. Nobody caught two passes, and that's what 399 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna see I think from this offense this season. 400 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: Is Patrick Mahomas spreading the ball all over the place. 401 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: Very exciting to see that efficiency. So hopefully we'll see 402 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: some more of that here in this game. And for 403 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: the players, the rookies particularly that played well against the Bears. 404 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking about Sky Moore, George carloftas and not 405 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: a rookie, but also a guy like Justin Watson. I'm 406 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: looking for them to come into this game when they're 407 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: already feeling pretty good and put another good performance on 408 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: tape and stack those performances, because it would be really 409 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: easy to feel good about that Bears game then just 410 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: come into this game and all of a sudden, woe. 411 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: I didn't have a very good game, you know, and 412 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: you're not feeling as good about them. Hopefully these guys 413 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: can stack these games together and turn in another good outing. 414 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: To me, it's offensive line depth. You got a find 415 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: offensive lineman that was not a great thing against Chicago, 416 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 1: to be honest to defending the run. And I know 417 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 1: they have Antonio Gibson, but he's losing his RB one 418 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: job real quick. To Brian Robertson, the rookie of Alabama, 419 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: so he'll play with his hair on fire the snaps 420 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: that he gets and three would be special teams. Who's 421 00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: going to be the kick and punt returner for this team. 422 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: We're sitting here on August the seventeenth, and that answer 423 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: has not been given yet, so that will be something 424 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: to watch. All right, Real quick, runna wrap it up camp? 425 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: Now pivots camp. Does it end? But it pivots. It 426 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: goes from Saint Joe back to Kansas City. After the 427 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: Commander game, this now starts to assimilate in season rhythm. Yes, okay, 428 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: and it's fifteen days to get ready for Arizona. Nothing 429 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: against the Green Bay preseason game, but the Cardinals start 430 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: to come more in focus. Here, just really quick your 431 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 1: thoughts as we close it out, I say, the one 432 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: thing the players got to realize is this is when 433 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 1: football really comes to life, being a way to, you know, 434 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: isolate yourself in training camp and the only thing you 435 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: gotta focus is football that takes up twenty four hours 436 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: of your day. Now you got to get back to 437 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: real life. Paying bills, kids in schools, take care of 438 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: your yards, detailing when all the things that life is 439 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: really about besides football, those things come back into play. 440 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: You're back at your home, back in your noble neighborhood 441 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: trying to get a new routine that it's going to 442 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: be the season routine. So how quickly do you get 443 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: acclimated back to that lifestyle? And then when it comes 444 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: to you know, hey man, we still got cut down. 445 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: We got to still see there's a bottom half of 446 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: this roster that's still being flipped. And I guarantee you 447 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: when it comes down to the fifty three we have, 448 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: it's gonna be one or two players that are not 449 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: even on the roster right now that might sneak into 450 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: those distance everybody, all thirty two teams, you got players 451 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: are gonna be playing their butts off trying to make 452 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: somebody's roster. And there's gonna be a team that's heavy 453 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: in one position that we might be a little lighting 454 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: that the guy that's not even on our roster will 455 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: come here and make this fifty three roster based on 456 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: one of those last preseason games or something he does 457 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: on this really special in these last few weeks. So 458 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't stop, You don't ever stop grinding the rosters, 459 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: always continuing to grow and just keep turning itself over. 460 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: But what I really am excited to see as the 461 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: season turns it's us prepared for those AFC West opponents. 462 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: And you know, Andy does a great job of kind 463 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: of finding a way just to whittle out, to carve 464 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: out a small portion of practice to make sure that 465 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: we spend a little time on the Denver Broncos, the 466 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: La Raiders and the fearless LA Charges. Well, we're gonna 467 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: spend us a little bit time on nails even though 468 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: it's officially gonna be time to turn the clot to 469 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. You mentioned the roster cut down. Let's go 470 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: over that briefly and what has happened so far and 471 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: what's going to happen, because that truly is the story 472 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: of the next several weeks. Six guys were waived this week, 473 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,640 Speaker 1: so offensive lineman Evan Kazarzak, wide receivers Omar Bayless, Gary 474 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: Jennings and Devin Gray, defensive lineman Austin Edwards, and then 475 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: corner Lonnie Johnson. Also added veteran defensive tackle Danny Shelton, 476 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: a big man and five pounds, a very big man, 477 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: grand elevator. Yeah, so we'll see what he can do, 478 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: hopefully a run stuffer for this team. The roster is 479 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: now at eighty five as of this recording, it has 480 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: to be to eighty players by next Tuesday, so I 481 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: five more guys will be cut by next Tuesday after 482 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 1: the Commander's game. So just like I said last time, 483 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: this Saturday, this game for a lot of guys fighting 484 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: for a roster spot is their super Bowl. It's everything 485 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 1: to them. So be watching those guys, particularly in the 486 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter. After that, twenty seven guys we'll 487 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: need to be cut by August thirtieth to get from 488 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: eighty down to fifty three. It's a brutal day in 489 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, like a thousand guys are all of a 490 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: sudden cut. But like you said, we could end up 491 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: with some of those guys from other teams. We'll see 492 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: how it works out. But this is the time of 493 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: year when that bottom of the roster guys are fighting 494 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: to hang on either on this team or to impress 495 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: another team. But be following along for these roster updates 496 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: and we'll see what kind of team we have by 497 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 1: the time we go to Arizona. But there's still some 498 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: battles to be figured out.
