My guest today from CAC Sports Network, 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:42.440 Bj Kissel. I am very excited for my guest today. 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.399 He is BJ Kissel, founder and CEO of the Kansas 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.960 City Sports Network. Formerly he was me of the Chiefs. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:51.920 He got his ring back in twenty twenty and Bj, 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:53.920 it's been a long time, my man. I have so 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.280 many questions for you, But first, how are you. 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.360 I'm doing well. I appreciate this. Travis is going to 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.520 talk to you. And any time you can bring memories 0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.240 of Miami. I'll always think fondly of Miami and the 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:08.440 stadium because that's where the Chiefs won the Super Bowl 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.079 against San Francisco, one of the greatest professional moments. 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:12.360 Of my life. 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.680 So I always have a soft spot there and always 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:15.799 enjoy talking with you, man. 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.360 Like I told you, man, million questions regarding the launch 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.639 of k CS and in your career today. But we'll 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.400 take that off the air after this question, because I'm 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.280 curious to know as someone who won the ring with 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.920 the team but then also got a chance and you know, 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.280 I wouldn't say you're a fan now, but maybe a 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.840 little bit more in the fan realm of things to 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.519 get the ring in that capacity, How would you compare 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:36.880 those two? 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:39.520 Oh man, it's completely different. 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.200 You know. 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:41.200 So much of what we're. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.559 Doing now is about you know, time and just understanding 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.600 the kind of the landscape of sports media and kind 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.799 of leaning into the platforms of where people are going 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:51.960 right now, you know. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.679 And it's not a unique thing. There's a lot of 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.960 people doing it around the country. You know. 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.480 We were able to when we launched Case Sports Network 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.040 do it with a lot of you know, friends, a 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:02.880 lot of people I've known for a really long time 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.480 and some really great people. Uh, and it's able to 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.079 it's been able to grow pretty quickly. But yeah, it's 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.000 been an interesting journey for me, starting off as a 0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.720 blogger on the outside, working my way up to you know, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.200 insider on the sideline of a Super Bowl, and then 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.880 stepping away from that and putting some other things, my family, 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:21.800 you know, seeing my kids and not traveling quite as 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.200 much some of those things. I've been nothing to positive 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:26.640 things to say about the organization and my time there. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.000 But you know, in your position, it's it's a demanding position, 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.359 and it asked a lot of you. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.040 Uh and for me, it was just it was the 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:34.440 right time. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.440 It was right when COVID kicked up, and yeah, I 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.480 had a phenomenal opportunity, phenomenal people who work there, and yeah, 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.320 I feel blessed of had that opportunity and love what 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:46.960 we're doing now, Love what I'm doing now with people 0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:47.600 i'm doing it with. 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.080 But uh, yeah, it's been a crazy journey. 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.320 Yeah, speaking of that family time, I was supposed to 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:54.440 go to journey this week, our our babysitter fell through. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.040 Was going to be a whole me and my wife thing. 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.320 But then the babysitter falls through and I got to 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.280 do trick or treating last night. So not about trade 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.480 off there with the little ones. Let's go ahead and 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.760 talk about some football here though, because we have a massive, 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.200 massive game and you guys have played in a lot 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.080 of these over the last you know, six plus years 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:10.960 or whatever it is, and the Dolphins are kind of 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.360 getting their feet wet in these massive games against you know, 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:14.360 fellow contenders. 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.200 Let's go ahead and start here, BJ. 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.440 You know, new offensive corrior this year in an offense 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.920 that you know is built around Andy Reid and Pat Mahomes, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.040 but there is a new OC there and you've got 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:24.840 a lot of turnover at their wide receiver position in 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.840 the last couple of years as well. Do you think 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.360 the Chiefs have kind of used these first two months 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.520 as a bit of a like filling out period, like 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:34.280 who are we type of period? And if so, to 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.839 get through that at six and two, that to me 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.240 sort of speaks to the spoiled nature of Chiefs fans 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:40.560 the last half decade plus. 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:42.440 I'm glad you said that, and now I will not 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.880 take a fan. And to answer from earlier, yes, I'm 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:46.960 absolutely a fan. I was a fan before I was 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.520 a fan when I was working there. I grew up 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.560 a Chiefs fan. I grew up in Kansas City, and 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.720 so it was a natural transition for me and everywhere 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.360 I've been to just be myself, share my feelings about 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.200 things as I genuinely am optimistic and want things to 0:04:59.279 --> 0:04:59.640 get better. 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.400 And I like what you said there about just kind of. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.280 The spoiled nature of Chiefs fans, because we've definitely heard 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:08.119 it this week. You know, we've talked a lot locally about, 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.880 you know, the young wide receivers. It was a storyline 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:12.719 from the beginning. I don't know how much the OC 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.359 has to do with it. That would be more like 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.120 behind the scenes of knowing what those dynamics are like. 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.040 Eric Binemy was beloved in Kansas City, but so was 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.320 Matt Naggy outside of anywhere but Chicago. People are gonna 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.520 tell you positive things about Matt Naggy and what he's brought, 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.320 and I believe Patrick Mahomes will tell you the same thing, 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.160 that he's a value add in there, not any more 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.360 or less than than the enemy in that way. But 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.680 the big storyline for the Chiefs offense and kind of 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.120 the feeling out period, as you said, we kind of 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.360 all knew this. I was on the bandwagon of they 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.760 need a veteran receiver this offseason, whether it was Odell 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.960 Beckham who they were linked to, or DeAndre Hopkins who 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.880 they were linked to. You know, financially, they can only 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.159 do so much on and get creative with the cap 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.359 and do different things but they kind of bet on 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:03.039 this young receiving group developing. They whether or not us 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.600 fans on the outside have sped up what we want 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.560 to see that development process look like or whether it's 0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.120 in the line with what they expected. Only Coach Reid 0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:14.159 and the guys in the room could probably tell you that, 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:16.480 But from the outside, I won't. 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:17.480 I'm not gonna see here and. 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.760 Say I'm completely surprised at what we're seeing, because you know, 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.920 we've talked a lot about this over the last couple 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:26.120 of weeks, specially you know, so far this week. But 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.479 you know you are asking those those six and they 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:32.120 kept seven wide receivers on the roster this year. You know, 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:34.520 for the Chiefs, you were asking every one of those 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.479 guys to be better than they've ever been in their career, 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.760 which is a big ask to make everybody step forward 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.040 in order for your offense to function the way that 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.720 you are accustomed to seeing them function. 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:46.000 And so much. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.560 And I don't know anything about Mike McDaniel's other than 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:50.640 to your point, he seems like a really fun guy 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.160 to cover. I think I would love covering Mike McDaniel 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:56.880 in his just sarcastic way of doing that gets just 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:00.400 exactly what's needed right now in my opinion, with the 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.840 way sports media and social media and all that like, 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.640 it's a perfect fit there. But you know, with Andy 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.080 Reid's offense, so much of what they put on these 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.680 receivers isn't necessarily They call play and they know what 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.920 route they're running. You know, they run out and they 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.440 read where the linebackers are. They read what the coverage 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.360 is and that dictates whether it's a ten yard rout 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.920 or a five yard out, whether it's a slant put 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:24.080 like all the different things. There's option routes within all 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.640 of these things, and they all have specific responsibilities to 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.240 pull safeties, pull linebackers away from other areas to create 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.840 space for guys to be open. Well, if one guy 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:38.160 is off on that, it changes everything about where Patrick 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:42.120 Mahomes expects defenders to be. It's a very fluid type thing. 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.400 I know Chris Conley years ago said that Andy Reid's 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.360 offense is a fluid thing and it's always changing. There's 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.760 an answer for everything, but it puts a lot on 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.320 those young receivers. So even going into the trade deadline, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:54.560 the point was it's going to be really hard for 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.880 them to trade for even the most talented receiver in 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.840 the NFL to come in and pick up this offense 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.880 right away. All they could really do is kind of 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:03.440 what they did with the Canarius Tony last year when 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:04.960 they traded for him, was they give him a certain 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.360 package set of plays that they learn, and he knows 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.560 those plays. Chiefs are a position where they need somebody 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.200 to go out there and get open against zone, get 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.880 open against man, and know the rules within the offense, 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.680 and b where Patrick Mahomes expects. Haven't seen it from 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.440 the young group yet. All of the analytics, the numbers 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.320 back that up. The things that we see on the 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.560 field are backing that up. But it's not dire because 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.840 there's still a top ten offense. It's just not the 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:31.760 everything's being let on fire that we've come to see, 0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:33.720 kind of like what we're seeing down to Miami. It 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:38.719 seems like, yeah, so I think they're going to get there. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.720 They have all the pieces in place that they need. 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:44.160 Outside of some young receivers believing they can get there. 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.640 The people in the room think they can get there. 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.560 They were drafted for a reason, they're there for a reason. 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.320 It's just you haven't seen that development yet. And that's 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:51.880 going to be the storyline for the Chiefs for the 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:52.880 rest of the regular season. 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.000 This is why you were the perfect guest to get 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:56.960 off with the show today because my next question was, 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.840 you know, I haven't started the Chiefs like up close 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.280 personal since twenty twenty, the last time the Dolphins played 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:05.439 against KC down here in Miami. And the first thing 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:08.240 I noticed was, like, all these concepts that I recognize. 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:11.160 You know, there's certain route combinations that you've seen across 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.480 the entire National Football League, and then all of a sudden, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.280 Travis Kelsey just stops doing what you think is supposed 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.160 to happen on that play and goes somewhere else or 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.280 turns over the wrong shoulders. It's fascinating to watch because 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.560 he does that, you're thinking that's a broken play. But 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.079 then the Hoomes is like, somehow telepathically on the same page. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.120 But it sounds like you're telling me that's the entire offense, 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.280 which would make sense of why it is difficult for 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:36.480 younger players. And my preview podcast, I talked about how 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:39.080 the Chiefs receiving corps is essentially rebuilt over the last 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.600 two years. Everyone from that's playing right now has been 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.720 acquired over the last couple of seasons. So do you 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:47.400 think that that is the I guess you kind of 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.200 answered them already, but it's beyond just Kelsey who does that. 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.000 It sounds like, yeah, no, they all do it, but 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.920 this year specifically, I don't know if Travis Kelsey, like, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.439 I'm sure they call it play and he has a route, 0:09:57.440 --> 0:09:59.400 but I think him home just kind of understand. And 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.840 I've joke because you see like the next gen stats 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.959 graphics that come out that show like routes and Kelsey's 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:05.680 are just like a bunch of. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.079 Zigs like actual routes. 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:08.679 It's not a route like you look at you like, 0:10:08.720 --> 0:10:11.240 there's no way that that's a drawn route. Anybody's ever 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:13.800 anything like, there's no way that's the actual route. But 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.000 it's him just kind of running out there reading that 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.600 He's basically doing what Mahomes is doing in the pocket. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:19.480 He's just doing it. 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.080 He's running down the field and they'll just turn around 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.440 and get open and he and Patrick Mahomes just have 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.040 that thing where they understand where each other, you know, 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.440 need to be. And I've said before that you know 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.160 both of those guys, Travis Kelsey, Patrick Mahomes. They get 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:32.800 all the credit in the world for the highlights, and 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.559 we talk about the things that they've done, but it's 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.480 the mental side of understanding the game, understanding what defensers 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.240 are trying to do, that has probably never gotten enough 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.520 credit and has been more instrumental in their success than 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.080 the physical attributes. And I think Travis Kelsey's game, if 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:48.880 that guy wants to play till he's in his forties, 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.079 he can lose all the athleticism in the world, but 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.120 he's got enough to get open because he knows how 0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:55.360 to read a coverage. He knows, you know, where to 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.320 kind of wiggle and where to kind of press on. 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.240 The different rules of defense is these guys study the 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.360 defense as much as they study, you know, their offense. 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:05.680 At this point, they know what these guys on the 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.160 defense are being taught to do in certain situations and 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.319 they know how to exploit it. And so you see 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.160 a lot of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Keller. He just 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:14.520 runs across the middle and those you know, a five 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.520 to seven yard route. But yeah, it's it's definitely a 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.160 different look for the Chiefs offense. I mean, ever, you know, 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.120 since Tyreek Hill left, you know, I saw stat you 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.240 know this past week that Markquez Valdez Scantling caught a 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.040 touch It's like a forty seven yard touchdown a couple 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:30.080 weeks ago on a broken play, and it was the 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:34.520 first touchdown pass that Patrick Mahomes had thrown over twenty 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.839 yards in the air since the beginning of the twenty 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:37.680 twenty one season. 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:41.920 And that was that blew my mind to think about that. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.240 And you look at his like deep passing like that, 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.280 the twenty yards or more air yards from the first 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.360 few years of his career to now completely different. They've 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.120 re kind of revamped that offense. And it's a testament 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.960 to Andy Reid's testament to Patrick Mahomes. They don't have, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:57.520 you know, the most explosive player in NFL history on 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.000 their roster anymore. He's down with you guys, you know, 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:04.680 being a frontrunner for the MVP right now. But it's 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.680 it's a bit of credit to them, but also it's 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:12.120 been a maturation process for Chiefs fans that are accustomed 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.439 to just bombs all over the place that hey, it's 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.600 gonna look a little different now. And honestly, right now 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.560 they're leaning more in their defense and their defense has 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.120 been much better than it's been at any point in 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.360 Patrick Mahomes's career. And so it's a give and take. 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.559 It's that complimentary football. But yeah, again it goes back 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.959 to those young receivers. And you know this week I 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.640 didn't necessarily call him out, but markquez Veld that Scantling 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.120 is to me the guy who needs to step up. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.080 He's a veteran in that room. He's been in the 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.400 system as long as anybody. Somebody needs to step up 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.440 and start taking some of those big targets, and that 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.840 guy has not yet emerged outside of Travis Kelsey. 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:48.080 You once again have answered my next question here, Bex. 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:49.439 I was gonna ask you which guy you want to 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.200 look at with the rest of the eligibles in terms 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:54.440 of who the Dolphin should pay attention to beyond Travis Kelcey. 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.760 And you know I always start these shows by asking 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.240 the opposing reporter or you know, analyst about the opposing core. 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.800 But and no slide to Mahomes. I just don't think 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:04.960 it's necessary because I know what we're getting. I know 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.200 he's probably the best of all time in my opinion, 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.800 to play this position, to play this sport, And so 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.360 I think that the statue gave me about the you know, 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:14.520 twenty air yard throws. To me, that's a credit to 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.080 him in terms of the maturation of his you know, 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.520 his development as a quarterback. You know, we see Josh 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.840 Allen has kind of taken that same approach where teams 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:23.560 are saying, you're not going to get the deep ball, 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.480 and if you don't have a guy who can run 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.280 through bracket coverages like we have down here every single 0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:30.360 week for a long touchdown, it makes it a little 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.520 bit tougher. So you allude to the tough defense the 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.679 Chiefs have played this year. I'll go ahead and skip 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:36.079 forward to that because. 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:39.240 And I'll throw this in there. I think MVS needs 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:40.920 Mark weez Vel. This gaantly needs to be the one 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.840 to step up because he's getting his cap hits at 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:46.800 eleven million dollars. The entire Chiefs cap hit room outside 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.520 of him is nine and a half. I mean, he 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:50.600 is the one guy getting paid in that room. Somebody's 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:52.959 got to step up. I think he should be doing more. 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:54.960 But what we've seen on the field is that Patrick 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.320 Holhomes trust Justin Watson. If he's throwing the ball deep, 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.560 he will give Justin Watson a fifty to fifty ball 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:01.600 chance to go make a play. So if he's gonna 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.920 throw it deep, chances are better than not that it's 0:14:03.920 --> 0:14:05.320 going to go to eighty four. It's gonna go to 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.240 Justin Watson and then Rashie Rice number four. The rookie 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.520 has been a guy across the middle that has made 0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.520 some plays and stepped up for the Chiefs. But again, 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.600 you're asking a lot of some young receivers who haven't proven. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:18.480 To be able to do that yet. 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:20.720 They can't prove it until they have the opportunity to 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.640 go out there and make the plays. But Justin Watson, 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.240 he was banged up for a little bit and miss 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.120 some time with injury, and now he's back, he might 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.240 be the chiefs number one wide receiver. Which is crazy 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:32.960 is there are a lot of fans here locally that 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.400 didn't think, they didn't want him to even make the roster, 0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.080 and as it looks right now, he's one of the 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:40.080 guys that Patrick Mahomes you can tell trust. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.080 Yes, cause you mentioned it's funny how it goes. 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:43.960 You have Sky Moore, a second round draft pick, You 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.760 trade a mid draft pick for Cadarius Tony, You go 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.480 out and you put the big free agent tag on 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.000 Marquez Valdez Scandling, and sometimes it just works out that 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.960 way where somebody else rises up and becomes that guy. 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:56.240 And you know I mentioned the defense or you mentioned 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.680 the defense and the previous answer, I think it starts 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.560 with Chris Jones IoT. That would be foolish to go 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.000 anywhere else with this defense. Just want to get your 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.160 take on the attention that he commands and kind of 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.760 who benefits the most from all that he does, because 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.040 he's one of these players where you know, you can 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.560 be a guy who eats up double teams and your 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.960 production goes down. It's an impactful game even though your 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.440 stat sheet is an impactful but he does that and 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.040 still impacts the stat sheet. Tell us about Chris Jones 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:20.920 and the impact he has. 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.240 Yeah, he's a game wrecker. He's been every bit as advertised. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.520 I think he's probably coming off what and I haven't 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.880 seen the reports or you know, the presidents with him, 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.120 but probably his worst game so far this year. He 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.200 had been so dominant that coming off the Denver game 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:35.280 didn't make the same kind of impact that we had 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.320 seen in other games this season. 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:39.440 But yeah, he opens up everything. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:41.360 You go back and watch a lot of the highlights 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.600 so far, the last couple of games of Charles Amenehu, 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.240 who's probably the biggest free agent pickup for the Chiefs, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.440 defensively on what he can do athletically with the stunts, 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.120 the twists and is it just athleticism along the defensive 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.160 line that he's going to be one of the guys 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.000 who really benefits from a lot of the attention that 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:59.320 Chris has gotten. Haven't seen or I don't have a 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.320 ton of examples, just because he did serve a six 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.720 game suspension to start the season, but some of the 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.000 highlights in the games of the last few weeks defensively, 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:10.360 some interceptions inside the red zones and Keith third down stops. 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.760 Most of it is because and you go back and 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.840 watch the all twenty two and you see what's going on. 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.520 There's so much attention on Chris that the other guys 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.560 are wreaking havoc. And one particular instance inside the red zone, 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:22.600 it was Charles amenne who got put one on one 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.000 right guards slid over to help with Chris Jones. Because 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.040 Chris will move around, Chris will basically get to choose 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.000 on third downs, which offensive lineman. He lines up over 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.160 and then everybody kind of adjusts to that. But it's 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.840 all predicated on Chris the attention he gets. But can't 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.520 not mention. George carl loftis the second year edge rusher. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:43.120 He has been phenomenal so far forward the Chiefs this year. 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:45.240 I think he's in the top six or eight in 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:49.800 pressures quarterback pressures according to Pro Football Focus. Just had 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.920 two and a half sacks against Denver. I think the 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.040 Chiefs as a whole are on pace to set a 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:58.160 franchise record for sacks this season. Their defensive line is solid. 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.840
