1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: This is the Chief's official podcast network, taking vantage on 2 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: the day. When you get opportunity in this game, you 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: they can play OCAs, I'll do it. What touchdown? Kansas City? 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: The Chiefs all right in the thick of a baby. Well, hello, everybuddy, 5 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: welcome to our third edition of Defending the Kingdom. And man, 6 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: the feedback has been great. I've resented a lot of 7 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: feedback personally so as Barbershop, both on your reaction to 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: social media, but also then in just personal conversations and 9 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: in some traditional media. And so we're going to explore 10 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: on this third edition of Defending the Kingdom actual defense 11 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: because I get asked almost every day. That was our 12 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: second one. Our second edition was what's Mahome's going to 13 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: do for an encore? And then right after that, Barbershop, 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: the follow up is what about Steve Spagnoll. What's he 15 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: gonna do for the Chiefs defense? What a Spags bring 16 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: to the defense. And You've got a unique perspective because 17 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: you played for him. What if your experience with him? 18 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: What do we got here? What in your opinion to 19 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: spread Spags bring to the defense. Well, I think I 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: have such a unique point of viewing this because not 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: only do I know him as a coach as far 22 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: as he was a dB coach when I was a linebacker, 23 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 1: but then I come back in two thousand and six 24 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: as a linebacker back to the Eagles, and now he's, uh, 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: you know, he's my coach. He's coaching the linebackers. And 26 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: then to see all the years as he's progressed on 27 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: to be not only a defensive coordinator, but a head coach, 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: special assistant. He's played in the big show one the 29 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: Big Show and had you know, just so many coaches 30 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: work under him the tools. I've seen him as a 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: student under Jim Johnson and also now as a teacher 32 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: teaching the other guys his system. And so it's it's 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: just been a and it's just been a fabulist journey 34 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: and trip to see him just continue to grow as 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: a football mine in the NFL. Thirty six years of experience, 36 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,080 Speaker 1: that's that's that's that's amazing. Did anybody can last anything 37 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: that long but continue to coach it with a passion 38 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: and a purpose. I've watched him from afar and I've 39 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: admired him, and being head coach of the Rams, there 40 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: was there was some tough times for him, but we 41 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: know it's a growing experience and had to help him 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: because he did that after he coached you with Philly 43 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: and oh six. But watching him from afar and I 44 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: look specifically at his two seventeam that's the year that 45 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: the New York Giants beat one of the two times 46 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: they beat New England in the Super Bowl. But I 47 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: went back and looked at that team. People remember Tyree, 48 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: David Tyree's catching in his head, right, That's what they 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: all remember that team for. But if you look at 50 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: that team, they were a fifth wildcard team to win 51 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Sixty nine Chiefs were in there as well, 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: but they caught fire in the playoffs. When you look 53 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,959 Speaker 1: at what Spags defense did during the playoffs, he held 54 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: the Ponts to fourteen seventeen twenty and held Tom Brady 55 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: to fourteen points. That caught my attention. And then the 56 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: way he coached up guys. Yeah he had stars. He 57 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 1: had stray hand that year. That was his last year. 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: But guys like O c. Human Eura and people that 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: he developed into stars. What about Spags in doing that, 60 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: take me what you got and then make something happen 61 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, he also had a special linebacker. He 62 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: used to play for the Chiefs, right that Kueka mitchell S. 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: So you know, to take a guy who's actually I've 64 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: been on the field with Kuika is a headstrong, very smart, 65 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: instinctual middle linebacker. Hit everybody like a like a ton 66 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: of bricks. But there was there was coverage liabilities. There's 67 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: things that you know, we kind of felt like, you know, 68 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: gaming and game out teams with game plan against the 69 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: lack of you know, being excellent and pass coverage. Well, 70 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: what do you do with that? Do you do you 71 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: eliminate him being on the field, or do you create 72 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: a package, create a defense that takes advantage of the 73 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: man's assets strengths and use that to empower him to 74 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: be even a better player on the field, to make 75 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: them even more impactful. Show that athlete what his streams are, 76 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: also showing what his weaknesses are and what he needs 77 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: to protect, what he needs to prevent from happening. If 78 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: it's an inside moved by running back, if it's change 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: of direction, then tell him, hey, man, when when this 80 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: guy gets to a certain point in his route, you 81 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: gotta eliminate him. You gotta take him off the map. 82 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: You gotta use your your hitting, a building in your 83 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: strength to go ahead and put that guy five yards under. 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: And that's what he did with running backs. He knew 85 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: that once they got past the line of scrimmage, it 86 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: was a loss for him, and so he never let 87 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: running backs past line of scrimmage. He created some impacts, 88 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: some contact, he created the fight. He took the fight 89 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: to them on their side of the the line of scrimmage. 90 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: And just that little tweak in what Kuwika Mitchell did 91 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: on the field is just a testament of how Steve 92 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Spagnola can take somebody who in our defense, you know, 93 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: certain linebackers, d lineman who maybe Bob Setting didn't use 94 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: or what's hesitant about using because of their a couple 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: of their weaknesses on the field, Spags to be able 96 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: to kind of definitely break it down, let them know what, 97 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: you know, what they're doing right, what they're doing wrong, 98 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: how they can be more impactful and help in this defense, 99 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: this style of defense, and then hopefully that guy can 100 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: take that and just let their abilities grow. Yeah, I 101 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: like what you're saying there with quick of Mitchell because 102 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: and this is all respect to Quika, loved him when 103 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: he was here with the Chiefs, but he's not going 104 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: on the Pro Football Hall of Fame. What I remember 105 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: about Spags' OH seven World champion team was they didn't 106 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: light up the stats if you look at them. They 107 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: did lead the NFL and sacks with fifty two, but 108 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: he took guys and made them better than people thought 109 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: they were. I mean there's some yeah, there's the stray 110 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: hands on human euros, but there was a bunch of 111 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: role guys. And the other thing I remember at that 112 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: team was he didn't go well that was a great secondary, 113 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: but they were good. But all three levels were impactful, 114 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: Like there wasn't a weakness that he had to cover 115 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: up at one of those three. And so I think 116 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: that's what he may bring to the Chiefs too, is 117 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: that all three levels will improve to the point or 118 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs you need them to be to take the 119 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 1: next step. Anytime you have athletic playmakers on the defense 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: side of the ball, the last thing you want them 121 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: to do us reading the act. The last thing you 122 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: want to do is make them passive. May take away 123 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: something to me. Aggressiveness is one of the greatest assets 124 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: to a defense. We talk about, you know, coach spags 125 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: and we know that. You know, when I was with Philadelphia, 126 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: the decordinator was Jim Johnson, and Jim was very aggressive. 127 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: We had Bobby Taylor and Troy Vincent, Brian Dawkins, Jeremiah Trot, 128 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: we have all we Javon Curse. We had all these 129 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: guys that were just very impactful, very aggressive nature guys. 130 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: And instead of you know, sugaring it down and watering 131 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: down and make them playing on their heels, he allowed 132 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: them to ignite their fire, ignite their emotions in their excitement, 133 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: be aggressive downhill players, dictate to the offense what we 134 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: are going to allow them to do all four quarters 135 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: of the defense, no matter what, all four quarters of 136 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: the game, no matter what the score was. And that 137 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: was the attitude we took on the field from opening 138 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 1: kickoff through overtime. If it took just constantly understanding we 139 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: are the aggresses in this defense. A couple of things. 140 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: This relates to the twenty eighteen chiefs of where SPAGS 141 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: could help going into twenty nineteen one, and these are 142 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: the two and not maddened. Don't take it plan mad 143 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: with Mahomes. This is maddening. Madd and I and G 144 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: one was last in the NFL. The Chiefs as good 145 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 1: a season as they had, fifty four percent of the 146 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: runs on first down were for four plus yards, about 147 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: the same on the other downs, but the league average 148 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: was forty five percent. Let's take that one first. How 149 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: can spags what did you see? Maybe an unconventional way 150 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: to stop the run, but at some point you have 151 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: to at least mitigate the run. They can't sit there 152 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: and get four to crack, particularly when they want to 153 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: keep Mahomes off the field. That was last week's or 154 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: the last time we did defending the Kingdom. Go back 155 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: and listen to it. But how do you get teams 156 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: slowed down in particularly on first down and running the ball? 157 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I like a follow spee of this being 158 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: um a big play orientated defense. Either we're gonna start 159 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: the drive by getting a tackle for loss, a sack 160 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: uh run for no game, or we'll give up a 161 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: you know, a twelve yard out route or first down 162 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: off that first snap. But what we aren't going to 163 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: do is allow you to nickel and diamonds on a 164 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen play drive. UM take away six minutes of 165 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: the clock, because I mean every minute that you allow 166 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: the other team's offense to have the ball. That's one 167 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: less minute. My homes get to have the ball. That's 168 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: one less possession our offense, which is one of the 169 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: most explosives in the league of having the opportunity to score. 170 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: So um, I wouldn't say, uh, throw throw caution through winter, 171 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: you know, just throw out the crazy blitz zero blitz 172 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: every time. But there are ways that you can call 173 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: it a run blitz game. You can you can run 174 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: certain blitzes that are great against interior runs. Every team 175 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: wants the interior run and these three to four yards 176 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: so they are ahead of the sticks. They create you know, 177 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: second and four, second and three scenarios, which you know 178 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: work to the benefit to take shots down downfield. Well, 179 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: if you can counter that with some great defensive calls, 180 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: you can overload those interior gaps with run stopping blitz 181 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,079 Speaker 1: to creates tackles for loss, tackles for no game that 182 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: creates second and long, second and tens. Now it's a 183 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: defensive time to get aggressive with the play call and 184 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: hopefully set up some third and lungs. And last year 185 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: the third and lungs will also drove me to Adville 186 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: and maybe something stronger. Just just take the New England game. 187 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: In the FC Championship game, they were thirteen of nineteen 188 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: on third down and seven of the thirteen conversions were 189 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: third and greater than six. We're not going to go there. 190 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: We could spend a whole show on that. But red 191 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: zone two? Where could Spags a print of the the red zone? Now? 192 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: I might give Bob Sutton credit. The Chiefs were the 193 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: best in the NFL under Bob Sutton in red zone 194 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: defense in twenty fourteen. They were fifth in the NFL 195 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. Last year, thirty first. Only Tampa Bay 196 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: was worse. Seventy two touchdowns in the red zone against 197 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The league average was fifty nine. Now, so 198 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: teams were not only holding the ball Mahomes can't get it, 199 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: but once they got to the red zone, they were 200 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: able to score. With Spags and his approach, what could 201 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: he possibly do to improve the red zone defense at 202 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 1: least holding the field goals? Well, I think one of 203 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: the primary things is you want to cut down on 204 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: all the verbiage. You want to make it as simple 205 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: as possible. It doesn't matter if the offense knows what 206 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: you're doing when you get to the red zone, you 207 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: only want to do a few things. Play a play 208 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: a quarter zone. There's a couple of blitz as you do, 209 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: but you want to make sure that every guy on 210 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: the field, all eleven, know exactly what they're doing against 211 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: all offensive sets, all kind of variables in the offense. 212 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: When it comes to the red zone. You know, offense 213 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: only gonna do a few things in the red zone 214 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: because they want to make sure they at least get 215 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: the field goal. So you want to take away their 216 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: primary stuff. But it's more about knowing what you're doing 217 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: on deep inside of the ball and make sure you 218 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: have the right amount of leverage the right attack angles 219 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: because you know that those us As the field shortens 220 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: and you get from you know that that red zone 221 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: area to the green zone area, you start getting inside 222 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: the ten yard line. You can ask any quarterback. When 223 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: the field gets short, those windows start to shrink up. 224 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: It's not as much room for them to work with. 225 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: And they also want to be a little bit more 226 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: cautious with the football, so they're not going to take 227 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: as many chances when it comes to making plays down 228 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: in the red zone. So just get real hone in 229 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: on defensive assignment football. Make sure you're pretty sharp on 230 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: your alignment and your assignment, and take care of business 231 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: in the red zone the other things. Mentality here too. 232 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: I saw it in that fourteen and sixteen team top 233 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: five in the NFL and red zone defense or under 234 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: Bob Sutton, was those guys, they're not in until they're in. 235 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: They're not in. They in getting in. We're not gonna 236 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: let them in. They ain't gonna get in, So go 237 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: kick a three. We might block the field goal, but 238 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: you ain't getting in. But the mentality that I think 239 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 1: it can bring in, I've been seeing that on the 240 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: practice field, even a sublime way maybe of of building 241 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: that edge to saying red zone defenses, no, you ain't 242 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: gonna get cross the line, Yeah they're gonna. It's on 243 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: field leadership builds that confidence, like you're talking about that 244 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: trusting one another that you're gonna be where you're supposed 245 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: to be exactly at the time he's supposed to be. 246 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: The pressure is gonna be there. I can play the 247 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: inside heavy and that bite on anything on the outside, 248 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 1: make the ball get thrown where we know it's gonna 249 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: get thrown, to the flats, to the outs, and then 250 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: know that you're gonna have such religious pursuit after the 251 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: football that you're not worried about missing a tackle. The 252 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: last thing you need to worry about on defense when 253 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: you have great pursuit is missing a tackle because you 254 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: got ten other guys who gonna be there before that 255 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: guy can make one yard. So you shoot your guns. 256 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: You go ahead and give it your best shot. But 257 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: you play with a lot of confidence in some and 258 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: you know a little bit of swag. Let's talk about 259 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: the swag that's on this defensive staff. Were enter the 260 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: second quarter here, and that deals with the staff that 261 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: Spags was able to recruit here to Kansas City. We're 262 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: gonna start on the defensive line. Brandon Daily, super Bowl 263 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: champion multi time with New England on the defensive line, 264 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: also has some Chief's Kingdom ties. Played at Drake. He 265 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: was also on the Illinois state staff. He's coaching the Midwest, 266 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: but I watched him coach guys in New England like 267 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, Dietrich Wise. I mean he made it goes 268 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: back to the point we made a couple of paragraphs 269 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: to go. I saw him on the defensive line in 270 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: New England. Take guys that seem like guys and made 271 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: them players. What about the mentality he's bringing to the 272 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: defensive line. Man four super Bowls, five AFC Championship games, 273 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: just a ton of experience. And when you have young 274 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: guys in the league, you have young guys that maybe 275 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: a little bit unsure about what their impact on the 276 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: NFL is going to be. You get a guy like 277 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: Brennon Daley in front of him and a guy who's 278 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: been there, done it. He's been at the top of 279 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: the mountain. He knows what it means to be a 280 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowl winner. He can bring that championship air and 281 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: swagger to a meeting room. And when he tells you, hey, 282 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: young man, you're great at getting on the edge, you're 283 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: great with your hands, but what you need to worry 284 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: about is your lower half. At that point, once it 285 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: comes out of his mouth, that athlete makes it and 286 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: it becomes in his heart and he will work on 287 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 1: that lower half to make make himself the best player 288 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: as possible. Before you know, when when you don't have 289 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: that type of championship demeanor and you don't have that 290 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: pedigree like you came from a champion, and you're just 291 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: telling the guy what he should do. But then you 292 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: give him an option, you give him a choice. Do 293 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: I know better? I've got to the NFL doing things 294 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: a certain way. I've been able to play with just 295 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: my hands and not my lower half. Am I really 296 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: gonna believe this coach? Like like who is he? But 297 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: but man bringing out he brings so much, like we 298 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: said that that championship demeanor and that leadership to the 299 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: not only the classroom, but to the practice field. I 300 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: think those guys just from day one have to buy 301 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: into what he's selling. And I'm telling the settling torches 302 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: open with this guy. We go to Saint Joe. If 303 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: you watch camp, go make sure you go to the 304 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: defensive line when they're in individuals and watch this guy 305 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: what he's doing. Derek Noughty, we can Xavier Williams and others. 306 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: And of course he's gonna have Frank Clark Hunter's tutelage too, 307 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: and and Alex Hikerfer all right, Matt House to bring 308 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: him in from Kentucky defensive coordinators to the college game. 309 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: But he was with Spags it with the Rams in 310 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,239 Speaker 1: O nine to eleven, so he's got the NFL experience, 311 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: but with the linebackers and the four three defense and 312 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: having a college influence right now, it's probably good in 313 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: the National Football League. Britt Reid, also coach's son is 314 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: helping him with the linebackers. But I like the fact, 315 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: Barbershop that we got a little college flavor in the 316 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: middle of this defense. For Madhouse has been so widely 317 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: regarding respected across the league. If it wasn't with us, 318 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: he would have got a job someplace else, someone else 319 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: would scooping him up in the Heartbeatum, but that Spags 320 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: recruiting him that wanted to be with an Andy Reid 321 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: and knowing that that they had a history together, it's 322 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a smooth transition and working here with coach 323 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: Spags because of the history with the Rams. He just 324 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: got that mentality. Like you're saying, from a college aspect, 325 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: they have to do a lot of communication. They have 326 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: to find different ways to communicate. You have to find 327 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: different levels of knowing how to be a teacher one 328 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: and off the field. We can't speak about that enough 329 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: how important it is for these coaches to be teachers. 330 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: When I grew up and obviously two decades ago, being 331 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: a young player in the NFL, I had coaches that 332 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: were more involved in being like a firing brimstone. It 333 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: was the I coach you, and you do it. You 334 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: do it my way because I said it. It's my way, 335 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: the highway. I don't need to tell you why you're 336 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: doing it. You just do it the way I say 337 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: to do it. And for a young guy trying to 338 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: learn the game of football, it was either do it 339 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 1: or hit the bricks. But now guys are so invested 340 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: on the why why am I doing this? Why is 341 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: the philosophy this way? Why are we doing this from 342 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: a pressure standpoint, from a coverage standpoint? Why is it 343 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: from a game situation? What is the benefit of doing 344 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: it this way or that way? And so these coaches 345 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: have to be great teachers. And I think that's where 346 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: a coach like Matt House he brings that teaching aspect 347 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: almost to an infinite degree. DBS David Merritt been in 348 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: the league for fourteen seasons three years respect had twice 349 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: World championship, was only eleven team that beat the Newland 350 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: Patriots weren't supposed to. And then I've noticed Sam Addison 351 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: back there too. People remember him, Oh that's the Dolphins, dude, 352 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: that was a good player for Miami. This is the 353 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: group that I think we'll get a lot of scrutiny, 354 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: or at least under the microscope, particularly the stats that 355 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:16,880 Speaker 1: we've given on third and long. Can you get off 356 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: the field? Can you make plays back there? But I 357 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: haven't been around David married a lot, but the times 358 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: I have, there is a certain polish to him. He 359 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: there's something to him that's impressive of liking. Okay, this 360 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: dude gets it. I'm fired up to see the way 361 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: he's going to approach the DBS. Yeah, he talks to 362 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,359 Speaker 1: the DBS like men. He treats them like grown men. Hey, guys, 363 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 1: we have you know, we have ten different techniques. You're 364 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: gonna have to learn to play this position at a 365 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: high level, and you're gonna be responsible playing all of 366 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,920 Speaker 1: them at a high level. We use all these ten 367 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: techniques throughout, you know, all a hundred different calls. If 368 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: you can master these techniques, you'll be an all pro 369 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: at this defense. You'll play at on high level at 370 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: this defense. You'll demand you have playing time on his defense. 371 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: And if you hand then we're gonna have to search 372 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: for somebody who can play these techniques because we know 373 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 1: this technique can win championships. And that's the great thing 374 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: about this this coach is that when you bring it together, 375 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: they all have championship demeanor. They have championships in their 376 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: pedigree that DNA. They know what it takes to beat 377 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: the best, They know what it takes to beat the Patriots. 378 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: They know what it takes to make a wildcard run 379 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 1: into a world championship team. The type of leadership, the 380 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: type of attitude, the type of that dog mentality to 381 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: get from a preseason to build it during the season. 382 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: No matter how the season go, you doesn't want to 383 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 1: a shot at the playoffs and then once you get 384 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, it's due or die. And having that 385 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: type of experience as coaching staffs, the leaderships, the teachers 386 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: to take this team and mold them and how that 387 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: team grow into what it's going to be the defense 388 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: of this kingdom. This Kansas City Chiefs twenty nineteen season 389 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 1: is so exciting for me. And that's not to say 390 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: that Sam Madison isn't gonna play his part. He's played 391 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: the game at a high level for twelve years, twelve 392 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: seasons in the NFL at the cornerback position. It's something 393 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: it's far a few between. You don't find many gas. 394 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: It's a bab that long on the island. And you 395 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: know those dbs, they live on the island. They don't 396 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: get talked too much, but when they get exposed, it's 397 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: it's on national TV. And when they make big plays, 398 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: it's on national TV. So he's used to having that 399 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: spotlight on him, having that fire on him, and having 400 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: that pressure on him. And so I think that, you know, 401 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: he's gonna do his job of getting those corners a 402 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: little bit of a little bit of veteran savvy to 403 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: let them play beyond their abilities on and off the field. Okay, 404 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: quick halftime here. You know in the NFL it's only 405 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: twelve minute a halftime. So you go to the bathroom, 406 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: you get an orange. Ours is one second one. They're 407 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: gonna go hope you went to the bathroom, had an orange, 408 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: or you hit pause. But now we're gonna go quickly 409 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: to the third quarter. But you touched on a nerve. Now, man, 410 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: you're hitting the nerves. That's what I like about you. 411 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: You're a barber, not a dentist, but you're hitting nerves. 412 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: But that is one thing I've noticed the spring and 413 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 1: summer of watching this defensive staff and Spags. You mentioned scheme, 414 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: you mentioned technique, you mentioned teaching. A lot of coaches 415 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: say they have attention to detail, but honestly, the great 416 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: ones do. It's why Andy's so good because it takes 417 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: patience and more work. Like it's it's like you're trying 418 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: to like now, if that's not going to work, we're 419 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: gonna paint this totally different here. What about what you've 420 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: noticed with Spags and his defense and the fact that 421 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: they truly have an attention to detail. If I'm playing 422 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 1: a cloud technique is a defensive back that means this minute, step, 423 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: this look, this is the way we get them off 424 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: the field. If I'm playing press, if I'm playing off, 425 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: if I'm playing man's own combo. But I've noticed that 426 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: in these guys one, they've got the attention to detail 427 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: themselves to teach attention to detail. What are you seeing 428 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: from communication, trust, and buying? Those are things that coach 429 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: Spagnola is going to ask his defense to do every 430 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: level to defense. From a secondary standpoint, if you can 431 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: don't communicate, if you don't know when they're doing bunch 432 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: motion versus spread motion, when they zoom in, zoom across 433 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: while receivers go across the formation. All those things are 434 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: going to affect your technique. They're gonna affect your alignment, 435 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: They're gonna affect your assignment, and then it's going to 436 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: affect how you complete your task. And to really know 437 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: the nuances of the defense, you can't just learn alignment assignment. 438 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: You have to know the why why are we doing this? 439 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: Why am I hanging so heavy inside? Why do you 440 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: want me to jam outside? Why am I lined up 441 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: straight down the middle of the cause confusion for the 442 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: receiver in the route? Why am I jamming and rerouting 443 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 1: on a third and eleven versus a third and six? 444 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: What is the purpose behind that? When you don't trust 445 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: that an athlete has the ability to do certain things, 446 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 1: you just want him to line up and do it. Hey, hey, 447 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: this this is how we're doing it. Just line up 448 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: and do it. It's it's the way the defense is 449 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: being called. It's it's why you're doing it. You find 450 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: different coaches coaching that way. You know you do it 451 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: because I said so. But when you really trust somebody 452 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: and you're not willing and you're willing to open up 453 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: the playbook, put up the philosophy and let him know 454 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: on film, let him know using teaching tape, let him 455 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: know from repetition, and then doing something that coach Bags 456 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: does it. You rarely see pulling guys out of drills 457 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: on a one on one fine tune in those details 458 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: and talking to guys. This right here, these five minutes 459 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 1: are more important than what we're doing in team. This 460 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: five minutes is more important we're doing an individual because 461 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 1: I see something in you, and I want to make 462 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: sure you know exactly why we're doing every little detail 463 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: and everything we're doing the defense. I want to make 464 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: sure you really know what you know. And he'll ask 465 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: you things. He'll ask you, what's your responsibility in this? 466 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: What are you attacking this? What is your eyes on this? 467 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: Who is your eye? Are you training your eyes to 468 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: be in the right place? All these little things to 469 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: make you the best you can be at your position 470 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: to make that defense successful. I've been fascinated by this 471 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: tutoring that he's done, and he takes like a different 472 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: guy from a different part of the defense every session. 473 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: So this should be the analogy. If you're getting called 474 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: to the principal's office and you're like, oh crud, what 475 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: did I do? Or and then you go to the 476 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: principal's office and he helps you with your geometry. Yeah, 477 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: that's what it is. It is like you said, it's 478 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: the principal calling me out of history class. Ye, and 479 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: you think you're trying to know you're struggle with geometry, 480 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: but let me show you this, and you're like, the 481 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,120 Speaker 1: principal's helping me with geometry. He saw something. He wants 482 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: you to be the best student as possible. And so 483 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: instead of instead of just letting it go and saying, Okay, 484 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let the coach handle that, no, no, I've 485 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: witnessed this. I see it. I think this guy's hesitating 486 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: because he doesn't know exactly why he's doing it. So 487 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: instead of instead of waiting until the next coaching teaching moment, 488 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: instead of letting a position coach get to him, he 489 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: speaks to you directly. I developed his defense and the 490 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: reason I put you in this position and I want 491 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 1: your hands placed here and I want your eyes here. 492 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: It is because the goal is to create this hesitation 493 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 1: in the offensive coordinator, hesitation in the quarterback, for him 494 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: to have a hesitate for one more second, where to 495 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 1: deliver the ball because we got a free hit of coming. 496 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: We got somebody coming to have it on his quarterback. 497 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: But we need you to create a little bit of hesitation. 498 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: So I can't have you this fully buzzing out to 499 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: the flat. I can't have you just take away this 500 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: curl out. I need you to play with him a 501 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: little bit. I need you to show him that you 502 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: got this. But then hedge towards that that a little 503 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: bit of hesitation is what creates sex in those big 504 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: moments that wins ball games. I want to ask him this, 505 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: and I'm not asking this, I'll ask him this in 506 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 1: Saint Joe. I think he does it too for a 507 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,479 Speaker 1: couple of reasons. One, he gives a message to his defense. 508 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: He's talking to his defense, and not just in the 509 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: defensive team room when everybody's together and you're breaking down tape, right, 510 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: He's showing everybody in the defense that they matter to 511 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: him individually. That's one. Two. I almost have a theory 512 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 1: he does it for himself. He wants to stay fresh 513 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: and sharp, he wants to teach, and so it is 514 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: a way he keeps honing his own skill. So I've 515 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: been fascinated by it to see him do it, and 516 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: it's like, well, he's not always with the DBS because 517 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 1: some defensive coordinators for DBS right or the dB coaches, 518 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: or some were linebackers or d l's, he's picking somebody 519 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: every day. I just I find it very interesting. I 520 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: want to ask him about that when we get to 521 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: Saint Joe all right, fourth quarter and then has to 522 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: deal with a blending here because everybody's excited about the 523 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: new guys that have been added, whether it's Frank Clark 524 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: or the Honey Badger were talked about Alex Elka for 525 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: Darren Lee. I'm gonna leave somebody out here, Brashad Brelan. 526 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: But then you have to blend them with the guys 527 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: that are returning, guys that you're counting on taking the 528 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: next step, whether that's Kendall Fuller or whether that's the 529 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: other safety group, like is Daniel Soreisen or down the 530 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: line Jordan Lucas or up front with the other defensive 531 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: guys or the linebackers that maybe a Dorian O'Daniel comes 532 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: into play here. The blending of the old and new, 533 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: and the challenge is there for the defensive staff. You've 534 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: lived this life. I'm curious to see what will happen 535 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: with that blending as hope you guys are up to 536 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 1: the challenge as a player. You know, when I entered 537 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: the Eagles and too, I was entering the staff a 538 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: team that was already on the championship level. I was 539 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: coming from the Washington Redskins. Our defense I think was 540 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 1: ranked thirtieth that season after the two thousand and one season. 541 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: So I go to Philadelphia and I'm getting to play 542 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 1: with this name recognition, the Brian Dawkins, de Troy Vincecuss, 543 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: the Jeremiah try I get to play with. I'm playing 544 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: with some of the guys that I know are playing 545 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: at the highest level. But I do my research about 546 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 1: coach Jim Johnson. I realized this, this this defense we're 547 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: playing is one of the most aggressive deep So you 548 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: gotta be willing to kind of let it hang. You 549 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: gotta be really really at all at any point, make 550 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 1: that big pick six, make that play. Um, you're buzzing 551 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,479 Speaker 1: your buzzing scene routes. You're running with tight ends, you're 552 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: running with linebackers with wide receivers in the slot. To 553 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: be a wide out in a slot receiver and to 554 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: be manned up with the linebacker. You start to salivate 555 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 1: that that that that that's supposed to be a win 556 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: for the offense. But the tools that they gave us 557 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 1: as a linebacker, the play the slot, knowing that you 558 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: only had to take away a handful of routes because 559 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 1: you were getting help from somebody else. A safety kind 560 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: of hanging down in a robber position. He's gonna rob 561 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: the middle, so I could act like I was inside technique, 562 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: shoot the shoulder, then buzz outside corner, and now I'm 563 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: just running top side with a receiver down a scene, 564 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: knowing that you had you know, some some some some 565 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: some different tools and techniques in your tool bait to 566 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: make that what the offensive thought was an easy win. 567 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: Now make him hold the ball and going for place else. 568 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: And when that sack happens, when you're the linebacker, you're 569 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: covering the slot and he has to check check and 570 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: he holds it to go to another receiver, and now 571 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 1: he gets sacked and you realize your coverage caused that sack. 572 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: That is so rewarding for a guy who's supposed to 573 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 1: be in the position of a disadvantage. But that aggressing 574 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: this up up rerouting at the line of scrimmage. That 575 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: aggressing this just from a defensive mentality when the offensive 576 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 1: coordinated has to know we're bringing seven, we're bringing eight, 577 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: we might be bringing nine um and not knowing where 578 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: that you know, those extra hitters are coming from. And 579 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 1: you see the hesitation in the quarterback of what check 580 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: to make? Does he want to check out of it? 581 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: Are we really coming or not? It gets it gets 582 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: my juices flowing to see that. And we talk about 583 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: the old with the new um. It was just so 584 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: many times last year when uh, you just you just 585 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: felt there was there was there was too much momentum 586 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: being given to the other team's opponent, uh, to our opponents, 587 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: the other team's offense. At some of the most inoptiple 588 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 1: times of the game. We're giving big runs, big conversions. 589 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: You wanted to really go after that quarterback, but you 590 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: saw that we weren't going after them, and they created 591 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: like you said, we saw some third and lungs created um. 592 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: And you know that championship game that you just whether 593 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: they got it or not, we just want we just 594 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: needed some type of attitude adjustment to put a little 595 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: bit of fear in that opponent quarterback that we that 596 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: we might bring the house, that we might do whatever. 597 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: It's a dude to get to you. We were going 598 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: to do it, and it took some propane out of 599 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: the tank when all the whole place is going crazy. 600 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: One thing I've noticed with their staff too, and it's 601 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: just something to think about and get your reaction. A 602 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: lot of coaches, when they come from someplace else, bring 603 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: their guys that they had before. All right, they're comfortable 604 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: with it. They know what they've got with the guy, 605 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: and it gives them a level of comfort, but it 606 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: also puts them well sometimes it usually it does not work, 607 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: or they'll bring too many guys. All right, let's think 608 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: about this oak Fork Saints. None of these guys coached him. 609 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: Frank Clark, Seattle, none of these guys coached him. Daily didn't. 610 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: House didn't. I mean Merritt didn't. I'm looking at Brashad Brelan. Nope, 611 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: they didn't coach him. Honeybadger he was with Houston in Arizona, 612 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: and when Merritt was at Arizona, Honey Badger was gone. 613 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: So nope, they didn't come. So the dynamic here of 614 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: these guys are secure enough and who they are as 615 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: coaches is I don't need to go get the guys 616 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: that I coached for five years at brand X and 617 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 1: them in. I've got ability. Faith in my ability, I 618 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: can coach up the guys that are here, and I'll 619 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: bring in these new guys and I'll coach them even 620 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: though I don't know him that well. You know the 621 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: funny thing about that is when I was doing some 622 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: scouting internship did I did an internship where I worked 623 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: for the Eagles and when I worked for the Jets, 624 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: And both times when I was in Indianapolis at the combine, 625 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: I had a chance to sit with somebody in the 626 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: stands watching guys work out, watching the college guys worked out. 627 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: It was coach Bagnola. Even when he was a coordinator 628 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: or a position coach or a special assistant, he still 629 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: took time to go to Indianapolis to find nuances about 630 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: these upcoming guys. So he might have never coached these guys, 631 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 1: but you believe me, I mean believe me. He has 632 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: a thick notebook of notes of what the guy's abilities, attributes, 633 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: what their strengths and weaknesses are before we brought them 634 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: to the Kingdom. He already had an idea of how 635 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: they were going to fit in and how he was 636 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: going to use them, and that that level of commitment 637 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: to even when you're not the guy making a call 638 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: on who's going to be drafted, who's gonna be added 639 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: to your team, but you wanted to make sure you 640 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 1: got your eye on everybody coming into the league because 641 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: you know that at some point you might cross that 642 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: guy's path that's gonna pay dividends and you don't find it. 643 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: Every coordinator that wants to spend the time because they 644 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: have to prepare, they're preparing for the upcoming season. They 645 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 1: don't have time to go to Indy to find about 646 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: these young rookies that might make the team, might not 647 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: make the team. They just want to know, Hey, who 648 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: we drafted, Get them to me and let me use him. 649 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: But he took time out to create a portfolio about 650 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: all the guys coming out each and every year. So 651 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 1: that's why that's why I'm so confident in this defense 652 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: because he might not have coached these guys that we've 653 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: added to the team or that was already here. But 654 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: this is not the first time you've seen him. You 655 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: know what, else was like that, Andy Reid. I'll go 656 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: through personnel of the game that way and say you 657 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: know what about Barbourne. He'll go yeah, blah blah blah. 658 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: I remember when I saw him in Collogy. So he's 659 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: the same dude, Like he has that same fervor for 660 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: finding out. He may not ever play for us, but 661 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: he might and he may play against us, but I 662 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: want to know. And so that's the cool thing about 663 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: Spags is he's bringing kind of an anti redness to 664 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: the defense indeed, and I'm noticed that, and then the 665 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: ripple effect. All right, that does it here for this 666 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: edition of Defending the Kingdom, we're actually talking about defense, 667 00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: but we're gonna close it really quickly, Barbershop. I just 668 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: think this is the most underrated part of the Chiefs 669 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: team outside in like everybody else inside the Kingdom again, 670 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 1: they're asking the question what now, what now? But outside 671 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 1: the Kingdom they're thinking the Chiefs is aren't gonna be 672 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: very good on defense. I just think this will be 673 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,800 Speaker 1: the biggest surprise, one of the biggest surprises of the 674 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: NFL season is how good this Chiefs defense will be 675 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: when everybody following us. I just want to take a 676 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: couple of minutes, a couple of moments to talk about 677 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: Coach Spagnola has with his beautiful wife, the Spagnola Foundation, 678 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: and that gives hopes to youth that do not have 679 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: the chance or the opportunity to achieve and pursue their dreams. 680 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: That's a simple mission statement, but it can be impactful 681 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: and it can be implemented to so many different different 682 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: parts of the Kingdom if you have an opportunity to 683 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: look that up and show some support for that. When 684 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: when Maria gets the town, her and Coach spags would 685 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 1: definitely be finding some local organization to kind of interact with. 686 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: But that was something that they every team she's gone 687 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: to with him, they've made such a dramatic impact on 688 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,719 Speaker 1: the urban league and the urban youth. So I does 689 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: want to definitely let our followers know about that. And 690 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 1: you and I both know that the Chiefs Kingdom is 691 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: the perfect potting soil for something like that. You plant 692 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 1: and it grows.
