And there was 178 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 4: a Chief's hat right in the middle of the display. 179 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: It's all Broncos stuff, and then the Chiefs hat right 180 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 4: in the middle, and I'm like, this is amazing. 181 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: So I thought you'd like that. 182 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,239 Speaker 2: Did you put it there? 183 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 4: I did not put it there. Some person apparently they're 184 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 4: selling those so I'm all for it. 185 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: Did Ellie the one that called the coyote put it there? 186 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: She didn't know, but she was in full support. You know, 187 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 4: Ellie might go to the This is pretty funny. Say 188 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 4: the Chiefs play the Broncos in Denver every year. My 189 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 4: in laws are Broncos fans. It's kind of contentious. But 190 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 4: Ellie normally doesn't go to road games. She's going to 191 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: go to the Broncos Chiefs game in Denver this year. 192 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 4: And tom My father in law, of course, will be 193 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 4: wearing Broncos stuff and his daughter will be wearing chief 194 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: scear at this game, and he has to wonder what happened. 195 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: You know.

Every team in this tournament is 201 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: an Orange and Black team. 202 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 3: It's cool. 203 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: How cool?

So in 207 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: five steps was like, hey, and Tammy's like, of course, okay, 208 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: but that was okay. 209 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 2: So shout out to the Creekhouse. 210 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: Creek's House, and that was Charleston, right, Charleston, South Carolina, 211 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: which by the way, is an awesome town. And Rod Wilson, 212 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: who's on our staff, is from there near there, small town. 213 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: He's got you gotta have Charleston shrimp and grits. Okay, 214 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of grits, he goes, No, the 215 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: Saint grits. Like you've ever had grits? Oh my gosh, 216 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: I would have had it every night. Yeah, I had 217 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: it three times. It sounds great. Yep, it was great. 218 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: That humidity. He probably prepared you for this. Yeah, oh yeah, 219 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: but that town is amazing so obviously historic but a 220 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: great place to go chill. And you got the ocean, 221 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: but you got the harbor and blah blah blah. But anyway, yes, 222 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: so you for you Coastal Carroll. No, it actually it's 223 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: the College of Charleston is there in Charleston Southern and 224 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: the Citade Citadel, the Citel is so cool. Yeah, we 225 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: were on campus for a while checking out the citadel. 226 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 3: That's awesome. 227 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,719 Speaker 1: We're on campus here at Missouri Western State University in 228 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: Saint Joseph, the fifteenth time we've been here. 229 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: Now it's been sixteen years. 230 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: But remember twenty twenty was COVID and you and I 231 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: had training camp in a tent about four hundred yards 232 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: from humans the weirdest and a bathroom a half mile away, 233 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: and we had like you know, convenience store sandwiches. It 234 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: was a great camp. But let's jump into this one. 235 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: There are ninety one humans on this team. Four quarterbacks, 236 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: six running backs, seven tight ends, thirteen wide receivers, fifteen 237 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: offensive linemen, fourteen defensive lineman, nine linebackers, and nineteen defensive backs. 238 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: Throw in four specialists, and there's your ninety one, not 239 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: that we're keeping track. 240 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 4: And if you're wondering why is it ninety one, Well 241 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 4: because of Chew Godrick, who's on this team originally from Nigeria. 242 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 4: In training camp during the offseason, you're allowed to have 243 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: an international player exemption. So even though the roster is 244 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: supposed to be only be at ninety, we have ninety 245 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 4: one players because of Chew Godrick. 246 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 3: So that's how that number ends up being what it is. 247 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: It is hard to argue a team that is we 248 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: take the and CBF Sports put this out by the way, 249 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: I've been using the barograph when I speak publicly. But 250 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 1: the fact that of the you take MLB, you take 251 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: the NBA. In the NFL, the Chiefs are the most 252 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: successful team at seventy five percent win percentage over a 253 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: ten year span that includes three years of Alex Smith 254 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: at quarterback and seven years with Patrick Mahomes. Why do 255 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: I say that to start this conversation is the fact 256 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: that that is the byproduct of this and Andy Coach 257 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: Reid mentioned it in his opening press conference here. But 258 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: Matt and I tell you on defending the Kingdom just 259 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: how important every OTA is. That may matters in June, matters, 260 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: but when you get the camp, the OTAs and mandatory 261 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: mini camp is to put you on an on ramp, 262 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: speaking of ramps, into this moment so that you hit 263 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: this moment running, not jogging or waiting or you're waiting 264 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: on some guy to get in shape. It's none of that. 265 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: This is he mentioned the sense of urgency in every 266 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: day and we sense it when we're here and been 267 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: around coach here in this camp for thirteen years now. 268 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 4: The Chiefs are one of only six teams that still 269 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 4: goes away for training camp. Everyone else just does it 270 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 4: at their team facility, and it's kind of like what 271 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 4: it was like for us in twenty twenty, where it's 272 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: just like an extended practice period. 273 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: They don't have this whole experience. 274 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 4: And obviously the football aspect of this is super important, 275 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 4: and we're going to talk all about it, but I 276 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 4: truly believe it's all the other stuff that really makes 277 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 4: this team so sucessful. It's that they're staying in the 278 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 4: dorms up here. You have to get to know everyone. 279 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 4: You have no choice. You're eating lunch together, you're eating 280 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: dinner together, breakfast together, you're studying together. 281 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 3: It is all football all the time up here. 282 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 4: And I think for the players, they go away, they 283 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 4: do all their stuff, they go on vacation, they take 284 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 4: care of what they have to take care of, but 285 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 4: they all come here together and it's all football before 286 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 4: the season starts. And again, not every team does that. 287 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 4: Most don't do that. Most training camps take place at 288 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 4: a team facility. It's just like a normal practice. You 289 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: do all your stuff and then you go home. It's 290 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: like your job, but here the guys are up here 291 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 4: like for weeks at a time, and then it's just 292 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 4: one hundred percent football. And I think those relationships and 293 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,599 Speaker 4: those bombs that you build, they pay off in the 294 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: long run. Right when things are difficult in November or December, January, 295 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 4: hopefully February, you're leaning back on bonds that you made 296 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 4: all the way in July and in August. And the 297 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 4: football stuff obviously very important, but you can't discount all 298 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 4: the other stuff that happens up here. 299 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 2: Let's be honest. 300 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: There's a big sacrifice here for the folks that work 301 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: in the organization, especially when you look at the equipment staff, 302 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: and you look at athletic training and our video staff 303 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,319 Speaker 1: or coaches videos for us in our sixty five TPT crew. One, 304 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: it's a physical task to move your whole organization an 305 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: hour away. Two, you're saying goodbye to your family for 306 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 1: a lot of time. I mean, Pat's got the new 307 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: little one. Yeah it's so cute, but Pat had to 308 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: say goodbye to his three little kids who he loves. 309 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: But when he comes up here, Pat's all in. And 310 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: so I put it out on Twitter slash x that 311 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, my stomach turns. It was my thirty second camp, 312 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: and every camp feels a new But this is such 313 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: a powerful time to build a winning team. I do 314 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: not if the league gets completely away from this, the 315 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: league will suffer. 316 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 2: Think about this. 317 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: When you were a youth and you went to scouting camp, 318 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: you were an eagle scout. You go to Bible camp, 319 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: you go to science camp. When you go there, you 320 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: go there to stay. And yes, what you learn is important, 321 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: but it's also the relationships that you build and learning 322 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: how to deal with each other. 323 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 2: This is a super hard sport and it is such 324 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 2: a long grind. 325 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: We have had the shortest off seasons for three straight years. 326 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: But this camp is so important you cannot you cannot 327 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: overlook what being at this camp means. The fact that yes, 328 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: they do all the work on the field, but they 329 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: are together all the time, and when the stuff hits 330 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: the fan, which it will for every team during out 331 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: the season, it'll happen several times. You harken back on 332 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: this moment. And so when coach says there's a sense 333 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: of urgency, it's not just learning the plays and getting 334 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: it down and being able to execute. It's who will 335 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: be their shoulder to shoulder with a band of brothers 336 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: and sisters that you're sharing this with. It's like when 337 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: you're in the military and you go to basic training. 338 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: You don't do that and go home every night. So 339 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: and even for the married folks, they got to leave 340 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: their families, and so I just think it's so vialable 341 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: to do it. It's tough to do it, but I 342 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: can't more teams don't do it well. 343 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: And Also, one thing that really stuck with me from 344 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 4: Coach Reid months ago. It was in one of the 345 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 4: first press conferences he did maybe after the Super Bowl, 346 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 4: and when we were turning the page to this year, 347 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 4: he talked about how much he enjoys and the importance 348 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 4: of the process. And I think the reason a lot 349 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 4: of teams get into trouble the year after they lose 350 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl is because they're just trying to fast 351 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 4: forward to that moment to correct that wrong. And it's like, oh, 352 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 4: we're just going to fast forward to that. What you 353 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 4: can't because it's really hard to get to the Super Bowl. 354 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 4: You have to invest in the process of every single 355 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 4: step along the way to get there. Fortunately, the Chiefs 356 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 4: have a ton of experience with this obviously, going to 357 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 4: seven straight AFC Championship games, going to five super Bowls 358 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 4: over the last six years, they know how important it 359 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 4: is to invest in every single day. We can't just 360 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 4: fast forward to the super Bowl right in February. We 361 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 4: have to think about today, which is what July twenty third, 362 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 4: How do we get better today on July twenty third tomorrow, 363 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 4: it'll be about July twenty fourth. That all compounds and 364 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 4: hopefully helps you get to the Super Bowl. Lots of 365 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 4: teams like to overlook that stuff. It's human nature, but 366 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: the Chiefs are so fortunate that they don't. They're committed 367 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 4: and then they enjoy the process of getting there, and 368 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: most teams, frankly don't enjoy that process. 369 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: And if people say that it's such an excellent point, man, 370 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: in fact, go all the way back, all the way back, 371 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: just scroll down and find our very first defending the 372 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: Kingdom after Super Bowl fifty nine and what was it? Infrastructure? Yeah, 373 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: And so I got asked Monday night. It was an 374 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: event in Springfield with Dan and Hughes, the analyst on 375 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: with Chi's started a network two hundred people Springfield. 376 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: Such an awesome Chiefs Kingdom Town. 377 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: But it was asked about hangover losing that Super Bowl 378 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: down thirty four to nothing into the Eagles getting wiped out, 379 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: and is there a hangover? I said, go back to 380 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: our defending the Kingdom way back when where we talked 381 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: about infrastructure and to me, that infrastructure rolls on one 382 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: single event does not change the train that moves down 383 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 1: the track, and that's what you're saying. The other key 384 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: part of this camp is that we have our new 385 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: draft picks and we're excited about the twenty five class. 386 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 1: We have new free agents. Jalen Moore has been working 387 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: with the number ones at right tackle. He was a 388 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: forty nine er now Christian Fulton's on the pup right now, 389 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: but Elijah Mitchell running back also from the forty nine ers. 390 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: New guy Gardner Minshew's been around a couple teams in 391 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: the league. These are guys that were on teams in 392 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: the past. This goes to your process and then the 393 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: undrafted rookie free agents. There's a gob of them here 394 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: at seven draft picks. This is so important to accelerate 395 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: learning and being around the culture that you mentioned, and 396 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: it's the process to me times five because this is 397 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: all condensed into about a three and a half week 398 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: period where it's on. 399 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 4: If you're a rookie or you're a free agent that 400 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 4: came from another team, you learn really quickly what it 401 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 4: means to be a Chief, and I think you quickly 402 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: understand why this team has been so successful. We say 403 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 4: this like every single week on DTK, But the Chiefs 404 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 4: don't just roll out there and say we've got Patrick Mahomes, 405 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 4: We've got Travis Kelcey and Chris Jones, We're going. 406 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 3: To be good. 407 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 4: There's so much work that goes in behind the scenes 408 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 4: and the work that goes in up here. I mean 409 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 4: it's hot. I mean right now it is eleven thirty. 410 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 4: It's already eighty four degrees. I think it was like 411 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 4: eighty five percent humidity when I first checked this morning. 412 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 4: I mean, it can be kind of miserable. But you're 413 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 4: out of here practicing at Missouri Western to get ready 414 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 4: for hopefully a Super Bowl later this year. But you 415 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 4: can't fast forward to that moment. How do you get there? 416 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 4: These guys know how to do it. It's not about 417 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: talking about it or saying, hey, we just got to 418 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 4: breeze through the season. All you think about is today? 419 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 4: How do we get better today? And not every team's 420 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 4: like that. And I think for our guys, like our 421 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 4: free agents that you're mentioning are the rookies, this is 422 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 4: so great for them because they realize this is what 423 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 4: it takes to be a champion. If Patrick Mahomes is 424 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 4: doing this, a guy that could be in the Hall 425 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 4: of Fame if he retired today. If he's coming out 426 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 4: here and attacking July twenty third, I better do the 427 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 4: same thing. 428 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 2: And he was awesome today. 429 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was making pinpoint throws and he was 430 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: spreading it around. Taekwon Thornton with a catch, Hollywood Brown 431 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: with a catch. He went back to Xavier Worthy again. 432 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: He and at your point. And this is why we're 433 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: calling this Defending the Kingdom episode. Attack Everything. Patrick attacks 434 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: this camp. Kelsey attacks this camp. Yeah, And tomorrow on 435 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: our live stream, we're gonna feature Chris Jones on the 436 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: defensive line. I've never seen Chris Jones and I'm trying 437 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 1: not to do recency bias. I've never seen Chris Jones 438 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: work harder than he has right now, and that includes 439 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: going back to May in June and mandatory mini camp. 440 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 1: He's attacked the start of this camp. And if you're 441 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: a Chiefs fan, that should excite you the most. And 442 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: if you're an NFL fan, going, oh, the Chiefs are 443 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: going to be three and fourteen, there's going to be 444 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl hangover that may happen. I don't think 445 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: it will be because of the way this team is 446 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 1: attacking this. 447 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: So yesterday was day one of training camp. Day one, 448 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: we're in the ramp up period right. Like I said earlier, 449 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 4: it's all about kind of easing into this. Well, Chris 450 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 4: after practice was over, was doing the thing where he 451 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 4: had like the harness and he had the the sled, 452 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 4: he had like these bar bells behind him. He's just 453 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,919 Speaker 4: working on strength training. No one's telling him to do this, 454 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 4: He's just like, I want to do it. On day one, 455 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 4: there's seventeen practices up here and Chris Jones again and 456 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 4: another player that would be a Hall of Famer if 457 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 4: you're retired today. A three time Super Bowl champion is 458 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 4: up here on July twenty second in Saint Joe doing 459 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 4: the sled after practice just because he wants to tells 460 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 4: you everything you need to know, a. 461 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 1: Little bit of a groundhog day. But that's part of 462 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: a little bit of attacking it in the fact that 463 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: this tests you mentally and emotionally because you have breakfast, 464 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: you get treatment, you get ready to go, you hit 465 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: this practice and again they're coming with the pads and 466 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: two twenty five practices. But then you go back, you 467 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: get in the cold tub, you get a treatment, you eat, 468 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: maybe get a little nap, but then you have a 469 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: walk through in the afternoon at the indoor facility. Then 470 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: you eat again, but then you have meetings at night, 471 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: and so there's just it's pound pound pound every day. 472 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: It's like going to some intercession class in college where 473 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: you're taking it like morning, noon, and night, and then 474 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: it's every day. There'll be some off days sprinkled in there. 475 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: But it's also to give you an assimilation of the season. 476 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: The season is a grind. Who can handle the grind 477 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: in November and December. Think how good this team has 478 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: been in Dece winning nine straight AFC West championships. There's 479 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: a reason that happens, and it's not just talent and 480 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: so attacking and embracing the fact that it is groundhog day, 481 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: but fighting through it mentally and emotionally is as big 482 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: as it is physically. 483 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 3: You fired up. I can't I'm ready to go. 484 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: I got through the whole Am I going to puke 485 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: or go to the bathroom every five minutes? 486 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: Then you get through that stage and you're let's attack it. 487 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: Yeah. 488 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 4: Well, you know what's cool about this too, is that 489 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 4: everybody has a chance. And it would be very easy 490 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 4: to look out at a lot of the players that 491 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 4: maybe you don't know their name yet and say, I 492 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 4: don't know that guy, He's probably not going to make 493 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 4: the team. But every single year there are players that 494 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,880 Speaker 4: come out here and surprise us. They make this team 495 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 4: and they make an impact later on in the season. 496 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 4: Nico Romihio is a great example, a player that two 497 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 4: years ago was one of the darlings of training camp. 498 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 4: He got hurt, was out for the season. Okay, got 499 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: to do it all again the next year and last 500 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 4: training camp. He was excellent once again, ends up making 501 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 4: this team, and he made some big plays later in 502 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 4: the year, really helped save this team on kick return 503 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 4: and made some big plays on kick return. I think 504 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 4: about the Houston game and the Pittsburgh game. So every 505 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 4: single player that's out here is being evaluated every single day, 506 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 4: on every single play. 507 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 3: That's one of Coach Reed's sayings. 508 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 4: And just because you don't know their name doesn't mean 509 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 4: they don't have a chance to not only make this team, 510 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 4: but to help this team win. So with that in mind, 511 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 4: you want to talk about some position groups. What do 512 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 4: you think, Yeah, let's close it this way. We're just 513 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 4: going to gloss over this. We'll crop dust this because 514 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: we're going to dive into some others on some other 515 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 4: podcasts in our live streams and do a deep dive 516 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 4: into single position groups as we go down. 517 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: I laid them all out for you. 518 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: How many there, Let's just crop dust it here that 519 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: the ones you're interested in. Yeah, because I will say 520 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: this because it's talk about embracing the competition. There are 521 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: guys that have been on this team. They're gonna have 522 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: to fight their tail off to make this team. And 523 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to follow it because there have been 524 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: some talent added. But where do you think some of 525 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 1: your more interesting position groups are? 526 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 4: Well, I'm interested in I'll start on office. Running back 527 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 4: is interesting because we have good players there and over 528 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 4: the last couple of years, the Chiefs have kept just 529 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 4: maybe four running backs, maybe five running backs. 530 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 3: That's kind of your limit. 531 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 4: And there are more than five running backs on this 532 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 4: roster right now that I think are pretty good players. 533 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 4: So running back is interesting. Elijah Mitchell, the kid from 534 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 4: San Francisco. What can he bring to this camp? He 535 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 4: was really good when he was healthy with the forty 536 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 4: nine ers. And Carson Steele. I was talking about Camp darlings. 537 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 4: Carson Steel was the Camp darling last year. Well, now 538 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: he has to do the whole thing over again. Tight 539 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: End is interesting as well. Jake brenning Stool, the UDFA 540 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 4: out of Clemson. He's a rookie, didn't get drafted, but 541 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 4: signed with this team after the draft was over looked. 542 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 4: Really good throughout the offseason training program. Got a little 543 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 4: banged up toward the end of it there, but he's 544 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 4: healthy now. Made a good catch today in the end zone, 545 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 4: like during seven on sevens, went up there and got 546 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 4: it like a jump ball sort of do But Robert 547 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 4: Tanian as a player to keep in mind. So Tanyan 548 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 4: was a good player for the Packers. A handful of 549 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 4: years ago. We talked to him. He thought he'd be 550 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 4: there his whole career. Well it didn't work out that way. 551 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 4: He's here now. He's still pretty young and still has 552 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 4: I think a lot left in the tank. So Robert 553 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 4: Tanning is a guy that I'm watching as well. But 554 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 4: I mean, generally you only keep around four tight ends, 555 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 4: So who's going to make the cut there, We'll have 556 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 4: to wait and find out. 557 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you're going to keep four running backs, 558 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: then it gets tense. If you're going to keep four 559 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: tight ends and four running backs, then what do you 560 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: do at wide receiver? Which is going to be another 561 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: position group to watch really closely. I'll just crop us 562 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: the cornerback group. The cornerback group is going to be 563 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,360 Speaker 1: interesting to follow every day of this camp because think 564 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: of Noel Williams, the draft pick at of Cow. He's talented, 565 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: he's got special teams acumen, which if you're going to 566 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: be the fifth corner on this team, you're not only 567 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: going to be a dime corner. You better be a 568 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 1: four core special teams dude. So there is one there, 569 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,479 Speaker 1: but you can sit there and do the math. There 570 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: are nineteen defensive backs, as I mentioned in this camp. 571 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,679 Speaker 1: When you look at and we do a lot of 572 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: cross like hybrid guys or they corners or safeties. But 573 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: generally if you look in this camp, you could say 574 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: there are eleven corners. Of those nineteen you're gonna keep 575 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: maybe five maybe six, But if you keep six, you're 576 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 1: gonna rob his safety. 577 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 2: Yep. 578 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: And so cornerback will be something we'll dive into more 579 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: as we get into it. But again, that will be 580 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: something to watch every day of this camp. And keep 581 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: in mind there have been guys on this team that 582 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: won Super Bowl rings. They're going to be fighting for 583 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: their lives to make this too. 584 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 4: I think linebacker is pretty interesting as well. I think 585 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 4: we have a lot of depth at linebacker. Jeffrey Bass, 586 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 4: the rookie out of Oregon, really impressed me during the 587 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 4: offseason training program. Jack Cochran is coming back from injury. 588 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 4: Jack looks really good so far. I think Cam Jones 589 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: has been like a four core special teamer on this 590 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 4: team for years, So a bunch of competition. I think, 591 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 4: not maybe at your starting linebacker spots, but at the fourth, fifth, 592 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 4: maybe sixth guy. A lot of competition there. And again, 593 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 4: you have to be a four core special teamer if 594 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 4: you're gonna be that fifth or sixth linebacker. So looking 595 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 4: forward to seeing that group as well. A lot of 596 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 4: competition I think three out this roster, and Brettveach told 597 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 4: me a long time ago that he thinks his job 598 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 4: is to create competition. 599 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 3: It's not as. 600 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 4: Simple as you pencil in the player he's our starter 601 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 4: and we're good to go. It's like we need to 602 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 4: have depth at every single spot, and it's a good 603 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 4: problem to have if you have multiple players vying for 604 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 4: one spot and it's hard to say goodbye to a player. 605 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 4: We haven't even talked about left tackle yet either with 606 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 4: Josh Simmons and Jalen Moore, but a lot of competition 607 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 4: throughout this camp and hopefully when you have a chance 608 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 4: to come up here. It's not just about necessarily left tackle. 609 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 4: It's also about who's going to be that fifth linebacker, 610 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 4: who's going to be that fifth or sixth corner, because. 611 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 3: Throughout the years we've seen these players. 612 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 4: It might not be in Week one, but at some 613 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 4: point down the road, they're going to make a difference. 614 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 2: One of our jobs is to make you feel like 615 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 2: you're at camp. 616 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: Every day, and our sixty five TPT crew is doing that. 617 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 1: Our social team is doing that. So we have fans 618 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: we know from Laolou Laus Let we go low Lao 619 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: we know what hemisphere of the Philippines are in now north. 620 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: We've heard of a lot of you from Western Europe. 621 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,479 Speaker 1: Every time we go around the world, we hear from you. 622 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: I want you to feel like you're at camp here 623 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: every day and it reminds you that Camp is brought 624 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: to you and our presentations brought to you by Mosaic 625 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: Life Care, proud presenting partner and official health care provider 626 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: of the Chiefs Training Camp.
