Speaker 1: We've seen this before thirteenth camp with Andy Reid as
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. A strong push,
Speaker 1: bit of a back off off day push in pads,
Speaker 1: same sequence about three different times during training camp here
Speaker 1: in Saint Joseph. This defending the Kingdom is entitled the
Speaker 1: First Push, and it's brought to you by not only
Speaker 1: taking Master, but by the awesome folks at Mosaic. You
Speaker 1: are the official training camp partner of the Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs here in Saint Joseph and the official healthcare provider
Speaker 1: of the Kansas City Chiefs great in the four state
Speaker 1: area that Mosaic serves in their part of the Mayo
Speaker 1: Clinic Care Network. Let's teach it on an RPO at
Speaker 1: the five.
Speaker 2: It's a lead block. He goes into the ends on
Speaker 2: this side. Touch down, Jansas City.
Speaker 1: Hi, everybody, Welcome to the campus here at Missouri Western
Speaker 1: State University. I'm Micholda's Voice of the Chiefs along with
Speaker 1: senior team reporter Matt McMullen. The First Push and man,
Speaker 1: oh man, is it a push. We're going to start
Speaker 1: by giving you an injury update. We just did a
Speaker 1: live stream not long ago in the span of just
Speaker 1: several minutes, the injury list grew to double digits. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so we're going to jump into that. But the
Speaker 1: big push is this heat humanity, third straight day in pads.
Speaker 1: We've seen coach do it before. He stays within the
Speaker 1: rules of the NFLPA and the Collective Bargain Agreement. He
Speaker 1: does not violate those rules, but he does take them
Speaker 1: to the max. If you like your Chiefs team winning
Speaker 1: in September, and you like your Chiefs team winning in
Speaker 1: December and winning in January and maybe in February three times,
Speaker 1: then know that the start of that is here in
Speaker 1: a day like today. This was a tough day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this was day seven of camp, but the third
Speaker 3: day in a row of pads and today really the
Speaker 3: ramp up completed. So this was a two hour and
Speaker 3: twenty five minute practice. This was the longest practice of
Speaker 3: training camp. Really, everything during the off season trending program
Speaker 3: was about building toward today. And of course it was
Speaker 3: eighty five degrees, eighty percent humidity all morning long, not
Speaker 3: a cloud in the sky. I mean, it was brutal
Speaker 3: out here. And I'll run through the injuries. It's one
Speaker 3: of those things where you might like see this online.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't worry too much about it because I mean,
Speaker 3: these are soft tissue things.
Speaker 2: This is being really hot.
Speaker 3: But Christian Fulton stalls knee injury, Darius Rush missed a
Speaker 3: second day in a row with a hamstring, Eric Scott
Speaker 3: wasn't out here with a hamstring injury, Dean Bush hamstring injury,
Speaker 3: Jeffrey bassa ankle injury, and Jake brinningstool with a hamstring injury,
Speaker 3: did not practice, and then Hollywood Brown left with an
Speaker 3: ankle injury, Xavier Worthy banged his head, left early. Rookie
Speaker 3: linebacker Cooper McDonald left with an illness, and then Sky
Speaker 3: Moore left with a hamstring. So a lot of injuries today,
Speaker 3: But it's kind of what happens during this time of
Speaker 3: year where you're pushing trying to get fully enamored into
Speaker 3: football shape and the reality is you might get a
Speaker 3: little banged up along the way.
Speaker 1: You around baseball. You were at the Arizona Diamondbacks, we
Speaker 1: talked about the Kaiser Volcanoes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you ever?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a rule you don't talk about
Speaker 1: a no header because you go in the eighth inning.
Speaker 1: I don't think we give up a hit yet, and
Speaker 1: then it's a home run, home run, and then a
Speaker 1: crooked number. Blame me. Right before practice, Austin wordered, who
Speaker 1: was here? I go, you know what we have because
Speaker 1: I'm looking every camp, every day. I go, we have
Speaker 1: not had the soft tissue injuries other teams are having.
Speaker 2: Yeah, today we did. Today we did.
Speaker 3: And again, here's the important thing is, I don't think
Speaker 3: any of these are like serious, like major things. It's
Speaker 3: just it happens. I mean again, third day in pads
Speaker 3: in a row. Keep in mind, the guys had not
Speaker 3: been in pads all off season since the Super Bowl
Speaker 3: ended until three days ago, and then they did it
Speaker 3: three days in a row with increasingly longer practices and
Speaker 3: of course a brutally hot day today. So it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: But the reality is it's what makes us team better
Speaker 3: in the long run. Coache didn't take it easy on
Speaker 3: them today. I mean, they did nine on seven run drills,
Speaker 3: they did one on one pass protection drills. They did
Speaker 3: a long drive drill period at the very end, as
Speaker 3: if everything else wasn't enough. But that's why coach Read
Speaker 3: is the greatest. He knows how to get the absolute
Speaker 3: best out of everybody. And I am certain that like
Speaker 3: in November or December after a tough win, Mahomes Kelsey
Speaker 3: or Worthy or somebody will say, you know, honestly, it's
Speaker 3: those days in Saint Joe where it's a million degrees
Speaker 3: and we're doing long drive drill in our third hour
Speaker 3: of practice that got us ready for this, and in.
Speaker 1: Essence, the special category was like a second long drive drill.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: In fact, I saw Patrick just moments ago and I
Speaker 1: go two long drive drills and he's pouring water on
Speaker 1: his head. They're like, yeah, that's all he said.
Speaker 2: Now, it's all he needs to say. You've heard us
Speaker 2: talk about this.
Speaker 1: But the first year or second year of coach he goes,
Speaker 1: he goes, ask me, goes you ever heard of the
Speaker 1: farklic method of training. It's like an eighteenth century military
Speaker 1: training that our allies use it, some of our military
Speaker 1: uses it. But it's you can look it up. Okay,
Speaker 1: go to web browser and find it today. Just a
Speaker 1: minute ago, I go far a click method. He just
Speaker 1: growled at me and goes yeah and just growled away
Speaker 1: like nobody's in a good mood here. That's part of this.
Speaker 1: But this was a grind. This is the first big push.
Speaker 1: This isn't the last, but it's the first big one.
Speaker 1: And you go, well, wait a minute, upper eighties isn't that.
Speaker 1: But when you take heat and humidity together and you
Speaker 1: push it, and so it's all these guys want. I
Speaker 1: just saw Kelsey's trying to get his breath. Every one
Speaker 1: of these guys are feeling this and so but it's
Speaker 1: by design and trying to build a team mentally, physically
Speaker 1: and emotionally tough.
Speaker 3: And here's the exciting new is we have some seventy
Speaker 3: degree days on the horizon. Later this week it's going
Speaker 3: to be like seventy degrees because the cool front and
Speaker 3: some rain are going to come through.
Speaker 2: So it's gonna make the guys better, you know.
Speaker 3: Big good thing is, despite how difficult it was and
Speaker 3: some of the injuries, we didn't see guys dogging it
Speaker 3: during practice. We saw some really big plays, some good
Speaker 3: work getting in there today, and we can run through
Speaker 3: some guys at some point that I have been standing
Speaker 3: out to us. But Coachrie talked about this a few
Speaker 3: days ago because obviously we all knew this kind of
Speaker 3: thing was going to happen. He was like, I want
Speaker 3: to see the players how they respond to days like
Speaker 3: this when you know you have an hour left in a.
Speaker 2: Third padded day in a row. How do you respond?
Speaker 3: And he was joking around that some of the guys
Speaker 3: are going to start kind of talking to themselves, you know,
Speaker 3: trying to.
Speaker 2: Force their way through it.
Speaker 3: But particularly for players that are fighting for roster spots
Speaker 3: on this team, like those depth guys, like who's going
Speaker 3: to be your sixth or seventh receiver, who's going to
Speaker 3: be your fourth running back?
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
Speaker 3: Who are the guys that impressed on days like this
Speaker 3: who didn't hang their head and say, oh man, it's
Speaker 3: too hot, Like I don't want to be out here.
Speaker 3: I never did this in college, or I didn't do
Speaker 3: this at the previous spot I was in in the NFL. Well,
Speaker 3: there's a reason the Chiefs are so successful and it's
Speaker 3: not fun. But one of the reasons that we're going
Speaker 3: to all these super Bowls is days like this.
Speaker 1: No question, Now it's been hot for us too, that's okay.
Speaker 1: It does not stop us from going around the world.
Speaker 2: Now we're glistening in the sun, We're still going to
Speaker 2: go around the world.
Speaker 3: Okay, So I have this on a piece of white
Speaker 3: paper that's like reflecting back at me.
Speaker 2: Let's see if I can read this. This is also
Speaker 2: my handwriting.
Speaker 3: Okay, heard from Blake in Wellington, Colorado, just north of
Speaker 3: Fort Collins.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: Before that he lived in Victoria, Kansas, outside of Hayes.
Speaker 1: The Knights, the Knights, the Knights, Victorian Knights. All right,
Speaker 1: I love great tradition, remember Moni Bisele? Yeah, play sure
Speaker 1: the Chiefs h Victorian Knights.
Speaker 2: Really yep. Okay, small world.
Speaker 3: So obviously Hayes as kind of Broncos country as it is,
Speaker 3: but Wellington, Colorado certainly is.
Speaker 2: He's going to the game. In Denver, we.
Speaker 1: Are it used to be like every other street. No, no,
Speaker 1: we're It's contrived and working. We've got about three to
Speaker 1: one right now.
Speaker 2: In Hayes.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 3: When I was a kid, we were doing like a
Speaker 3: trip out west and we drove through Hayes and there
Speaker 3: was a big billboard, the orange billboard that said this
Speaker 3: is Broncos Country, and it made me so mad. I
Speaker 3: still think about it to this day. That was like
Speaker 3: twenty years ago. Anyway, he'll be at the today, He'll
Speaker 3: be at the game, and in Denver later this year
Speaker 3: and we'll probably be repping the Kingdom, So good for you, Blake.
Speaker 3: I met Francis at the Zoo not too long ago.
Speaker 3: So those that listen often know my wife works at
Speaker 3: the zoo and they had an event a few weeks
Speaker 3: ago called Christmas in July.
Speaker 2: I was texting you about this. It rained the entire time.
Speaker 3: But you know, when you go to a place like
Speaker 3: the Zoo, it's kind of like when you go to
Speaker 3: a Chiefs game. It doesn't matter what the weather is.
Speaker 3: You were going to have fun. So we were at
Speaker 3: the zoo, lots of people are there and it was
Speaker 3: pouring rain and everyone was still having fun hanging out
Speaker 3: of the zoo and I met Francis there, so shout
Speaker 3: out to you, Francis. We got a listener in Tyler, Texas.
Speaker 3: Think thank you Tyler, Texas. We appreciate you. Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 3: thank you. Trish Is in Sydney, Australia. Done under want
Speaker 3: to go to Sydney. We have a listener in Derby,
Speaker 3: Kansas Panthers. Okay, Derby Panthers.
Speaker 1: They've had tons of players come out of their NFL players.
Speaker 1: I got Leon Edwards, now one of the top running
Speaker 1: backs in the country.
Speaker 2: That's a great program. Okay, and lastly, this is a
Speaker 2: cool one.
Speaker 3: So you know, usually I just look at the YouTube
Speaker 3: comments or people email me or tweet at me or
Speaker 3: something to get the around the world. I heard from
Speaker 3: Neil via LinkedIn, and I should check my LinkedIn more often.
Speaker 3: But this is one that you'll do. You want to
Speaker 3: hire you well, So Neil, I couldn't do this, trust me.
Speaker 3: Neil is in Maryland. He works at the Marine Corps
Speaker 3: Cyberspace Command. Love the Yeah and listens to DTK. So Neil,
Speaker 3: first of all, thank you for all you do for
Speaker 3: our country, but also thank you for listening to DTK
Speaker 3: and for wrapping the chiefs out in Maryland.
Speaker 1: Simperfy, Neil, simprifi. I got a couple, yep, all right
Speaker 1: at camp. It's always interesting these people that come up, right.
Speaker 1: We just had a guy from Virginia Beach, Virginia walk
Speaker 1: up and I always ask where they're from. But Abby,
Speaker 1: she's a middle schooler from Saint Simon's Island.
Speaker 2: St. Simon's Island.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's kind of in the Charleston Savannahs and
Speaker 1: the Atlantic coast.
Speaker 2: Oh she had your heart right away.
Speaker 1: Oh, right away, I tell you and we were just there.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 1: But she's from Saint Simon's Island and her dad and
Speaker 1: brother are Steelers fans, but her and her mom are
Speaker 1: huge Chiefs Kingdom fans. They defend the Kingdom to it,
Speaker 1: even offshore on the Atlantic Sea board. So a shout
Speaker 1: out to Abby, a sixth grader, I believe St. Simon's Island.
Speaker 1: Here's another one. This is a fun one. You like
Speaker 1: this Dublin, Ireland, you've been there, love Dublin, Dublin. There
Speaker 1: is the you know how big Charlie's in Philly, So
Speaker 1: Philly's the chiefs like hangout. There is one in Dublin Island, Ireland,
Speaker 1: and I want to get this right. It's called the Bridge.
Speaker 2: Wish I knew this when I was there.
Speaker 1: I should have told you the Bridge. It's right by
Speaker 1: the American Embassy. The dude that runs it is named
Speaker 1: Tony McCabe. It is the biggest Chiefs Kingdom hangout on
Speaker 1: the isles, and it's just a place where they all
Speaker 1: congregate and go crazy, and it's a chief's stronghold. So
Speaker 1: a shout out to Tony. Now here's why this is big.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of Chief Kingdom fans that are
Speaker 1: Iowa State fans. We know we got a lot of
Speaker 1: Chief Kingdom fans that are KSE State fans. The Week
Speaker 1: zero game in Dublin, Ireland is Ky State against Iowa State.
Speaker 1: All of you fans need to know there is a
Speaker 1: Chief Kingdom hangout in Dublin, Ireland. Now what's interesting, Tony ready,
Speaker 1: because the way that the Irwegians and the case Staters
Speaker 1: drink beer, Yeah, they might clean him out.
Speaker 2: Now it's well, it's the end of all places. So
Speaker 2: I think they'll be prepared.
Speaker 1: Right, it's Guinness, So they're gonna be like laid out
Speaker 1: like they want to make the game. But it's called
Speaker 1: the Bridge, and it's one of the greatest Chiefs hangouts
Speaker 1: outside the States, and it's right there in Dublin Island.
Speaker 1: So when you know Eli, go back, you got to
Speaker 1: go see this guy, Okay, Tony, so anyway around the world.
Speaker 3: And also we saw Chris up here just now. So
Speaker 3: Chris had written and into DTK a couple of years ago.
Speaker 3: I think I can't remember when it was, but a
Speaker 3: while ago. Originally from you caught this whereas Talgonoxy from
Speaker 3: talking Ooxy, the chieftain moved to Poland. For a while,
Speaker 3: was in Poland and having to watch all these Chiefs
Speaker 3: primetime games in the middle of the night. But he
Speaker 3: just moved back to this area. He had mentioned I
Speaker 3: think I talked about on DTK that he told me
Speaker 3: via YouTube he was going to be moving back here,
Speaker 3: and he shouted me out and said, hey, I'm back.
Speaker 3: So now he's in the Kansas City area and was
Speaker 3: that practice here today, So shout out to you, Chris.
Speaker 2: He said, Monday too.
Speaker 1: Games are rough, I can imagine in Poland. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: also home of the Roslov Panthers. Right, we covered those guys.
Speaker 1: But who's impressed you in camp so far?
Speaker 2: Your thoughts?
Speaker 1: And again a grueling day to day. This is the
Speaker 1: first big push, the third day of impads and high
Speaker 1: heat and high humidity. It's been rough. Those guys are
Speaker 1: hurting right now and trying to get recovery. Tomorrow be
Speaker 1: an easier day. But who's impressed you so far?
Speaker 3: Should we go like back and forth or shul I
Speaker 3: list off? Some guys go back and Forth's go back
Speaker 3: and forth? Okay, well I'll go with the obvious one.
Speaker 3: Josh Simmons has looked the part so far. That's the
Speaker 3: question I think we all had going into this camp.
Speaker 3: Could Josh Simmons a be ready for camp with his
Speaker 3: injury rehab? And once he put the pads on, how
Speaker 3: could he handle himself? And the first question was answered immediately.
Speaker 3: He hasn't missed any practice. He's been out here as
Speaker 3: a full go. So during the draft process, you and
Speaker 3: I kind of wondered about that, like would this be
Speaker 3: a red shirt year for him?
Speaker 2: No, not at all.
Speaker 3: It wasn't even a red shirt camp for him, didn't
Speaker 3: begin on pup or anything. He's been completely healthy, ready
Speaker 3: to go. The second part of it is he has
Speaker 3: looked the part in pats. He's been physical and strong.
Speaker 3: Obviously plenty to work on, but I think through three
Speaker 3: padded practices, Josh Simmons is off to an awesome start.
Speaker 1: Excellent point. He threw Ashton Jelata yesterday like a rag.
Speaker 2: Doll, and Ashton's a lot. He's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Yes, he is old l and today he got it
Speaker 1: mixed into it with Mike Danis. So we're seeing a
Speaker 1: little bit of an edge to him, which isn't bad. No,
Speaker 1: it's good mine. So to start is Leo Chanel on
Speaker 1: the defensive side. Oh my gosh, he's my defensive MP,
Speaker 1: even VP of this camp, and I saw at this
Speaker 1: spring sought in mini camp. He's going to continue on.
Speaker 1: Yes the Chiefs have got to find ways to get
Speaker 1: Leo Chanell on the field. He sets the edge, he's
Speaker 1: a really good pass rusher, and he's great in coverage.
Speaker 1: We saw a very athletic interception yesterday. But here's something
Speaker 1: that I don't think I've ever seen, or I've very
Speaker 1: very rarely seen. We talk about old l and that's
Speaker 1: what you want to watch at camp. The one on ones.
Speaker 1: Leo was in there as a D lineman inside outside,
Speaker 1: going against the offensive line one on one.
Speaker 2: It's wrestling.
Speaker 1: Basically, he goes, he goes, he goes, he goes, runs
Speaker 1: over and does seven on seven as a coverage guy.
Speaker 1: Mental toughness, physical toughness, emotional toughness. To me, Leo Chanel
Speaker 1: is rising and will help this team beyond just blocking
Speaker 1: field goals in Pats and Super Bowls.
Speaker 3: He's come such a long way. I mean, look back
Speaker 3: at his rookie year. He was kind of a sub
Speaker 3: packaged guy. He was the guy that you won in
Speaker 3: there against the run or if you're gonna blitz him
Speaker 3: off the edge. He can do just about everything. Now,
Speaker 3: he's looked really good in coverage through this camp. Mentioned
Speaker 3: that interception that he had he was over the middle,
Speaker 3: deflected it, stuck with it in the air, and made
Speaker 3: a diving interception on the play the whole thing himself.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was phenomenal. So I'm with you about Leo.
Speaker 3: How about Taekwon Thornton. So this is a player that
Speaker 3: really has been flashing the entire offseason. And again the
Speaker 3: question for him was can he keep it going into
Speaker 3: camp with pads on because this is a player that
Speaker 3: had a big time pedigree coming out of school A
Speaker 3: Baylor I believe ran a four to two eight at
Speaker 3: the combine, among the fastest forty times ever, so he
Speaker 3: has blazing speed. It was a second und pay the Patriots.
Speaker 3: It didn't really work out there, but that was a
Speaker 3: bad situation in New England. Well, now he's here and
Speaker 3: really consistently every day he's made at least one play
Speaker 3: where it's like, man, he's really making a push. So
Speaker 3: Taekwon Thornton has to keep it going, has to impress
Speaker 3: during the preseason. But if you're looking at who could
Speaker 3: that that sixth or seventh receiver be, Taekwon Thornton certainly
Speaker 3: has a great shot.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you who the fifth receiver could be.
Speaker 1: And he's had an outstanding camp so far. He was
Speaker 1: great starting out, then he kind of slowed down in
Speaker 1: OTA's but so far in this camp and I don't
Speaker 1: want to get ahead of myself and don't get ahead
Speaker 1: of yourself, Chiefs Kingdom. But Jalen Royals has been really
Speaker 1: good in this camp. Basically what he's done and what
Speaker 1: he is that we saw him with two red zone
Speaker 1: catches today for touchdowns, but his blitz recognition, the fact
Speaker 1: that he's absorbing everything I asked Pat about him, and
Speaker 1: Pat's working with him, but he wants to learn. There's
Speaker 1: some instinct with Jalen Royals. There's toughness with Jalen Royals.
Speaker 1: He kept fighting through this practice today and if you
Speaker 1: get a hot blitz, read guy that understands where to
Speaker 1: go when past's getting blitzed and it becomes a big deal.
Speaker 1: So far, Jalen Royals, there's enough encouragement there to be excited.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mentioned on our live stream a little bit ago
Speaker 3: that Steve Smith was here, the former superstar receiver for
Speaker 3: the Panthers. And when he was here, I was chatting
Speaker 3: with him about the receiver crew. He didn't want to
Speaker 3: talk about anybody else. He wanted to talk about Jayleen Royals.
Speaker 3: And if you have Steve Smith's attention, look, Steve Smith
Speaker 3: isn't messing around, you know, he's mister ice up. He
Speaker 3: doesn't want to talk about forty times and all that.
Speaker 3: He wants to talk about your toughness, your physicality, your
Speaker 3: ability to break tackles and make tough catches. And that's
Speaker 3: Jayalen Royals at least so far. So we'll see if
Speaker 3: he can keep that going.
Speaker 1: Just don't bet your mortgage in their fantasy football draft
Speaker 1: or taken Royals number one. Okay, let's just you've been
Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan long enough to know, don't take any
Speaker 1: Chiefs receivers in your fantasy draft right away because it
Speaker 1: could be somebody different every week.
Speaker 2: Let's do one more. You go, one I go. He's
Speaker 2: part of the crew, right so he'll contribute, hopefully to
Speaker 2: this and.
Speaker 1: He may pop a one twenty some week.
Speaker 2: You might hopefully my last one.
Speaker 3: Robert Tanyan now Robert Tanyan is a familiar name for
Speaker 3: people that have been watching football a while. He was
Speaker 3: pretty productive for the Packers a handful of years ago.
Speaker 3: He had three years in a row with the Packers
Speaker 3: where he was averaging three four hundred, five hundred yards
Speaker 3: per season. So this is a player that's been around
Speaker 3: a little bit and contributed to a pretty good offense.
Speaker 3: Injuries and things just didn't work out toward the end
Speaker 3: of his tenure in Green Bay kind of bounced around
Speaker 3: a little bit, but he was solid during the offseason
Speaker 3: training program and it's kind of like Robertanian might have
Speaker 3: a shot. And really he's been one of my stars
Speaker 3: at this camp so far, just making big, physical catches,
Speaker 3: particularly in the red zone. You can tell he's been
Speaker 3: around a while. And this guy caught passes from Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 3: so he knows what he's doing. So Robert Tanian I
Speaker 3: think has a great shot to make this team once again.
Speaker 3: Got to keep it going, but certainly be watching Robert
Speaker 3: tanium during the preseason.
Speaker 1: Not only make this team, to help this team and Matt.
Speaker 1: He's been consistent. Yeah, it's every day he's doing something.
Speaker 1: It's not a flash. And today he fought through all this. Again,
Speaker 1: he's a pro former Indiana State quarterback. Mine would be
Speaker 1: Charles Amena, who Charles Emena, who has had a really
Speaker 1: good story this camp. He was good today and the
Speaker 1: fact that not only his length, his awareness and intensity
Speaker 1: is good. If he stays healthy, and we've said this
Speaker 1: all throughout the spring of summer, but he's had a
Speaker 1: good start to this camp. If he stays healthy, to
Speaker 1: put him with Chris Jones and the rest of the
Speaker 1: guys in Carl loftus, you could have a better deferensive
Speaker 1: front than anybody in the NFL thinks the Chiefs have.
Speaker 3: There is no doubt that Charles has played a big
Speaker 3: role in getting us to Super Bowls each of the
Speaker 3: last two years, especially two years ago. I mean when
Speaker 3: he came back, he was awesome with like six or
Speaker 3: seven sacks and only a handful of games of course
Speaker 3: towards ACL in the AFC Championship game against the Ravens.
Speaker 3: But it's easy to forget that Charles during his time
Speaker 3: with the Chiefs has never had an opportunity to play
Speaker 3: in Week one. He was suspended the first six games
Speaker 3: of the year a couple of years ago and was
Speaker 3: recovering from the injury last year. So now finally he
Speaker 3: can come into training camp and get ready for the
Speaker 3: season and hopefully help this team in week one, and
Speaker 3: so far he's definitely taken advantage of that.
Speaker 1: Just know, this is by design the first push. This
Speaker 1: is where your veterans come in to play. I told
Speaker 1: you Kelsey's trying to get his breath, Pats. You know
Speaker 1: he's gonna They might have ivs going and these guys,
Speaker 1: but the veterans become key here. Chris Jones, Guys that
Speaker 1: have been around, Guys that have won Super Bowls, even
Speaker 1: the twenty two class, which is nine to one individually
Speaker 1: in their career. This is where then the conversation with
Speaker 1: the young guys, keep driving, keep pushing, because there's another
Speaker 1: push coming. Cultur will back off a bit tomorrow, there's
Speaker 1: an off day the next day. Then the next big
Speaker 1: push comes. Hang in there. But your veterans become as
Speaker 1: key as your coaches.
Speaker 3: Right now, I'll tell you what, right before we started
Speaker 3: doing this, practice has been over for a while. I
Speaker 3: saw Chris Jones over there on the sled. So Chris Jones,
Speaker 3: after a day like this where it was a two
Speaker 3: and a half hour practice, brutally hot, third day in
Speaker 3: a row in pads. Chris was like, I need a
Speaker 3: little bit more work. And if you are any really
Speaker 3: any player on this team, any young player, any veteran player, whatever.
Speaker 3: You see Chris Jones who's going to the Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame one day after a tough practice like this and
