Man. Well, we're 25 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: going to continue our refitting the backpack as we're in 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: our stay at home protocol and trying to fight through 27 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: this situation together. But as we refit the backpack today 28 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: we look at the corner back position, one of my 29 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: favorite of any NFL team, and honestly barber Shop I 30 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: called the cornerbacks the fighter pilots of the National Football League. 31 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Now here's your history lesson of today. This is the 32 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: first salute to service top we had. It was designed 33 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: by Alan Wright and the rest of the crew and 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: our equipment team. It's the closest thing I have to 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: like a fired suit. You'll see them what they wear, 36 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, when they get up in the jet plane. 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the Tuskegee Airmen, alright, 38 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: the African American Group, the three hundred thirty second Fighter Group. 39 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: The Army was still segre and the Air Corps was 40 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: still segregated then in World War Two, and these guys 41 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: were put together. They flew some of the best machines. 42 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: We have the P fifty one Mustangs and others, one 43 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: hundred eight downed enemy aircraft, seven hundred forty four air medals, 44 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty Distinguished Flying Crosses, fourteen Bronze Stars, 45 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: and the Silver Star. They were amazing as fighter pilots. 46 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: Plus I think they also sped up the desegregation progress 47 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: in our country. But they were amazing. If you want 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: to study the Tuskegee Airman, it's worth a study here 49 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: while we all stay at home and learn together. Yeah, 50 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: I heard they were known by the Monica Red Tales Zone. 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes some of this time apart out of our normal 52 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: day to day, it gives us time to really dive 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: into our history, having too what's important, what made the 54 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: USA what it is? We talk about football, we talk 55 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: about cornerbacks, and you referenced the fighter Palotts because it's 56 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: that one on one dog fight that mine on minor. 57 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: We called it. To be out on the Allen, to 58 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: be by yourself, you have to have a very short memory. 59 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: You have to have that kind of ego, that that 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: that alpha dog mentality on each and every play so 61 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: that you don't give up six points over the top 62 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: and I think that when we talk about what the 63 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: Chiefs have, what free agency have, and then what the 64 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: draft has, you'll see an instant, resting group of guys 65 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: that can be a part of this two thousand and 66 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: twenty Chiefs regime. Yeah, there's a lot of raisins. We 67 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,000 Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl, but these corners when they hit 68 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs, they started to play some ball. Rashad Brelan 69 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: Varius Ward who kind of came out of nowhere really 70 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: over a two year period to become really one of 71 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: the top cover corners in the NFL. When you look 72 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: at it statistically, Chiefs have lost Kendall full of the 73 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: free agencies now back to Washington to be a redskin. 74 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: But we also saw Rashad Fenton rise up, especially during 75 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs and make some plays the cornerback position. Before 76 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: we jump in to this in earnest, you played defense 77 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL for a decade. You played with some 78 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: of the best corners in the league. The makeup the 79 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: frame up of these fighter pilots. Because you mentioned, man, 80 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: it's one on one combat. On the outside, people say 81 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: you have to have a short memory. You're gonna give 82 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: up the one play already goes it's a fifty yard 83 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: play or a forty yard defensive pass interference penalty. Man, 84 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: you've got to whitewash that in less than ten seconds 85 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 1: to try to make the play that's going to win 86 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: the game the next play. This is a unique group 87 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: of guys. I love to study this position and look 88 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,559 Speaker 1: at it and look at it intricately. But the guys 89 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: you played with, what were their characteristics? Of the dudes 90 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: that played when you looked outside to your right or 91 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: left shoulder, and there are the guys on the edge, well, 92 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: some of the best of the best. I think my 93 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: days at Washington, had a chance to play with Daryl Green, 94 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: had a chance to play with Champa Ellie, had a 95 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: chance to play with Dion Sanders. And so what those 96 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: guys had, and each one of them had a different 97 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: amount of it, was the ability to clear out the 98 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 1: background noise, become solely so focused on a guy's alignment, 99 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: his route running, his release points, the different routes that 100 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: that receiver would run, and then how that route intertwined 101 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: into the overall passing philosophy. And when I saved from 102 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: a Daryl Green, he had top in speed, He wasn't 103 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: the tallest long arm guys like we see today. But 104 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: he had top in speed and he knew one thing. 105 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 1: He had to cover the guy when the ball arrived 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: and the pass was not complete. Just because the ball arrived, 107 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: he had chances upon chances to punch it out until 108 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: that ball was complete, and so he made sure to 109 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 1: finish the damn He always finished through the whistle. Champ 110 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: Bailey his athleticism and storied the makeup speed he has. 111 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: He took a lot from He's a mixture of Dion 112 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: Sanders and d Green. He would allow receivers sometimes get 113 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: a little bit open because he knew he was fast 114 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: enough to make up that speed once the ball was 115 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: in the air and then make an inception. And then 116 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: one of personally my greatest cornerback of all time is 117 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: Dion Sanders. He had the arrogance he had to He 118 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: talked with the swag. He had it. He had it 119 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: on and off the field, but when he was in 120 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: the locker room he was an ultimate competitor. He expected 121 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: his team to come ready to play every dawn. He 122 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: expected that pass rush to get there because he told 123 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: him I was going to cover a guy for two seconds. 124 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: Anything beyond that I'm putting on a d line. I'm 125 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: putting on the linebackers. You need to get there and 126 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: cause that quarterback to throw the ball somewhere other than 127 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: when he than the guy he's covering after that two seconds, 128 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: but for those first two seconds, Dion would shut down 129 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: half to feel Derrek Green is one of my top 130 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: five all time NFL players. That's not a chief. I'm mean, 131 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: the dude played twenty years at corner back and he's 132 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: got that. He had the Tyrone Matthew study of the 133 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: game you played with him. But I love to study 134 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: him from afar and still do. I'll go back and 135 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 1: watch some of his video because I think the guys 136 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: one of the most remarkable players in the history of 137 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: the league, and the fact that he played this fighter 138 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: pilot position. Just put it this way, folks, think about 139 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: the guys in this league that run four two four, three, 140 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: four to four. You're running backwards playing those guys. You're 141 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: running one hundred meter dash. They're running forwards and you're 142 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: running backwards. And how's all that going to work? All right, 143 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: let's jump in now to what I think we've talked 144 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: about the characteristics that every one of these positions over 145 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: the past two months, as we've broken it down, but 146 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: the characteristics that Andy Reid and Steve Spagnola want at 147 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: this position are one. If you're saying, yes, you've got 148 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: to be a splendid athlete, Yes you've got to be 149 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: able to cover, but you have to be a willing tackler. 150 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: When I look at these stats, Chavarius Ward last year 151 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: was a third leading tackler on this team. Javarius Ward 152 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: had seventy four tackles. Brashad Breland played physical. Look at 153 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: his plays in the Super Bowl. He ended up with 154 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: sixty two tas I'm sorry, forty eight tackles. And then 155 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: the past coverage ability. Javarius Ward was targeted seventy eight 156 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: times throughout the season. He was only burned thirty seven times. 157 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: That's a forty point four percent burn ratio, which is 158 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: good actually, and only gave up two touchdowns with ten 159 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: passes broken up. He only had one defensive pass interference 160 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: penalty all year, and with Brelan sixty two targets thirty 161 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: two burns, gave up three touchdowns and eight passes defense. 162 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: You gotta do not only I gotta cover the best 163 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: whiteouts in the league, I also have to play physical. 164 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: Part of holding the edge is having a corner that's 165 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: also out there who's a willing tackler. And not all 166 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: of the fighter pilots in this league won a tackle. Well, 167 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: one thing you know about rushing statistics is you get 168 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: no credit for yards going across the field. In every 169 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: defense they want to push running backs sideline and sideline. Well, 170 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: who's lined up on those sidelines. It's your cornerbacks. And 171 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: so when you constantly spilled the ball, spill the ball 172 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: from A gap to B gap to C gap to 173 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: outside the tight end, well, your cornerbacks and safeties have 174 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: to come up and make tackles. And we expect our 175 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 1: guys to be some of the most physical and aggressive 176 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: tacklists there are in the league. That's one of the 177 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: things coach bag is he kind of hangs his hat on, 178 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: He hangs his defense on of his cornerbacks being physical, 179 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: aggressive in the pass and the run. Just like the 180 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: cornerbacks helped to pass, the D line and linebackers have 181 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: to I mean, just like cornerbacks helped to run the 182 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: D line and linebackers have to help with the pass. 183 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,080 Speaker 1: When I talked about Dion standers saying, hey, guys, you 184 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: gotta get there that confidence and being aggressive with your 185 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: hands at the line of scrimmage to readjust routes to 186 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: throw timing off. It's an all eleven guys on board. 187 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: You gotta be You gotta know that your guys up 188 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: front is gonna get there to give you the confidence. 189 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: When you have a receiver it runs like Tyreek Hill, 190 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: like the jet, like DeMarcus Robinson. Guys that can get 191 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: vertical and run War two. If you don't get something 192 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: of at the line of scrimmage, they'll be gone in 193 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: value before you even know it. And so you talk 194 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 1: about the characteristics of cornerbacks footwork, mira, their understanding of 195 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: the game, the different techniques and leverages, their vision, and 196 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: then also their balance and then their playmaking ability be 197 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: able to high point the ball, pass breakups, make play 198 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: on the ball. All of those different segments have something 199 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: to do when you can talk about evaluating that position 200 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: at cornerback. One of the biggest differences to me from 201 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season to twenty eighteen and twenty seventeen with 202 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: the ability of the corners and the safety is to 203 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: some extent their ball skills because here we are as 204 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: a fighter pilot out there on the edge. Yes, you've 205 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: got to play a four to two four three guy 206 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: playing backwards. I gotta be physical against the run. Here 207 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: comes I don't know, you know, Derrick Henry, and I 208 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: got to tackle him. A third, though, is also having 209 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: the ball skills of Steph Curry or Patrick Mahomes. Honestly, 210 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: there was a gigantic improvement last year in my opinion 211 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: of the corners specifically and the safeties in their ball skills. 212 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: You talk about hype pointing the ball, we think of 213 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: a thornhill, but we also saw a Various Ward. I 214 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: was just reviewing the Houston game. We're gonna do a 215 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: watch party on that coming up next week. Various Ward 216 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: makes an incredible play hype pointing the ball in the 217 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: end zone to get an interception. That's another part, another 218 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: box you need to check and it's hard to find 219 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: these guys, but that's part of being a fighter pilot 220 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: in this league is also having those ball skills and 221 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: those things. It's something that coach back preach about and 222 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: he talks about it from day when of training camp. 223 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,439 Speaker 1: You see him working on the fine tune things intercepting 224 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: the ball around a palon, intercepting the ball around the 225 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: field goal posts, things like that. Most teams, they're so 226 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: busy trying to over coach and coach alignment assignment, alignment assignment, 227 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: then the other aspects of playing the position sometime go 228 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: to the waist side. But as you saw a coach Packnola, 229 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: he'll pull a dB out of a drill to work 230 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: on him on the side, one on one on something 231 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: he thinks is going to make a difference, high pointing 232 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: the ball, having great hands, great vision, and then they'll 233 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: put him back in the drill. He works with guys 234 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: one on one, depending on you know, your your knee, 235 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: your individual need. Not all defense coordinators are willing to 236 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: bring themselves down to that almost that common level of hey, 237 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: I'm going to work with you on a one on 238 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: one basis to get you better. They want to stay 239 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: up in that high perch and then say, hey man, 240 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm the I'm the coordinator. I call it, you do it. 241 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: It is what it is. But we talk about that 242 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: cornerback position man in a lot of different ways. Um, 243 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: we want to stay focused on what is need to 244 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: be great at that cornerback position. We talked about zone 245 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: coverage as on the quarterback being able to break up. 246 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: We talked about man coverage as on the receiver being 247 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,439 Speaker 1: able to mirror trail and then make a play. That's 248 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: a That's two totally different techniques and now everybody can 249 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: do both of them. Well done, well said to communicate there, 250 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: two receivers side, three receiver side, who's got the inside 251 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: third guy if we're in zone, who trades that off? 252 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 1: You'll see that's why you see these touchdowns and two dvs. 253 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: You're looking at each other like why, so have to 254 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: communicate back there. And I really thought that's where the 255 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: secondary of the Chiefs really came together in the last 256 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: two months of the season, especially hitting the playoffs. All right, 257 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: on the roster right now as we speak, if five 258 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: corners and really you go to camp with about eleven, 259 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: you like ten or eleven corners to get it down 260 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: to five. Alex we already mentioned various ward and what 261 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: he's been able to do. Brashod Brelan as we speak, 262 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: is still a free agent. Their discussions going on there. 263 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: Antonio Hamilton was recently signed by the team. Primarily a 264 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: special team guy with the Giants, but we'll seek really 265 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: put him in the crock pot and in confending the 266 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: kingdom religiously, you know that our crock pot designation is 267 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: a badge of honor to weare. It means the team 268 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: still believes in you and they want to develop you. 269 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: Chris Lamon's was put on this roster later in the season, 270 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: mentioned Rashad Fenton, going into his second year, had to 271 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: step up, pricked him when one thornhill went down when 272 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,959 Speaker 1: he went to the nickel and dime packages. Then I'll 273 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: ex Browns an interesting guy. He was the guy that 274 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: made a big hit along with Sorensen and knock the 275 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 1: ball out on the kickoff return in the incredible comeback 276 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans. That's the five you've got. That's 277 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,440 Speaker 1: why I think our next discussion as we transition and 278 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: pivot into the available free agents left in the cornerback 279 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: position and the draft, Because if there's one group of 280 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: guys that I've spent some time with looking and I'm 281 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: most intrigued about shop, it's the cornerbacks. But let's just 282 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 1: take what's on the roster right now and then we'll 283 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: get into free agency. Well, those guys all have to 284 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: take a step up. And that's the one thing. When 285 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: you bring a Tyron Matthew into a building, the expectation 286 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: of everybody raises. So these guys that were undrafted, unused, 287 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: forgotten about. They come to a situation where you know 288 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna be putting in a situation where we're gonna 289 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: be playing from my head. There's a lot of emphasis 290 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: gonna be on pass coverage, stopping guys, you know, from 291 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: coming back from when we have a league, the community location. 292 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: If guys can learn to communicate, you see, guys have 293 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: certain skills and techniques, certain traits that you like. You 294 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: bring them in, give them a shot. Like you said, 295 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: you're gonna try to go into training him with ten 296 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: eleven cornerbacks. The guys that communicate the best, the guys 297 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: that can work as a unit on the field. It's 298 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: almost irrelevant almost what your skill level is on a 299 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: one on one basis. If you can communicate as a 300 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: as a back in together the culmination, the sum total 301 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: as a group is often more valuable than the individual total. 302 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: So that's why some of the top corners in the 303 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: league I don't think would fit in our defense because 304 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: sometimes to be that top corner. You don't talk. You 305 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: just want to be on the island left alone. You 306 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: want to shut off side of the field. You want 307 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: everybody else, the other ten guys to worry about everything else, 308 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: leave you alan. Well, that's the opposite of communication. The 309 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: one thing that are back in does both corners, all safeties. 310 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: You communicate with one another to make sure everybody's on 311 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: the same accord. And that's how you played championship defense, 312 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: in championship pass coverage. And to me, the best teams 313 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: in this league you mentioned some guys are a man corner. 314 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: They can play press man Summer's zone. To me, Spags 315 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: wants both. I've got to be able to do both 316 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: because he wants to have that kind of that many 317 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: tools in his tool chest. Quickly into free agency here, 318 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: we've got to throw Brelan, who still listed as we 319 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: speak on this one. If you come back and listen 320 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: to it later, we'll know what happens here. But Breshad 321 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: Brelan is in there as a free agent. Mcclayborne, former chief, 322 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: is also on there. But Logan Ryan as we started 323 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: this podcast, was still available former Titan Tremaine Johnson, and 324 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: then Drake Kirkpatrick was released by the Cincinnati Bengals. So 325 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: interesting to see what's happened to me. I think guys 326 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: are going to look after the draft for these guys. Now, 327 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 1: we saw some top corners go right away. Kendall Fuller 328 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: jumps off the board quickly and gets a big ten 329 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: million dollars a year deal basically for four years with 330 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. We saw the big move by Miami 331 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: to take the Dallas corner. It's the highest paid free 332 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: agent in this whole shebang, but a free agent corner. 333 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: We've seen the Chiefs actually morph some of these guys 334 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: in Braylon last year. Yeah, and I like some of 335 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: the under named guys. Kevin Peterson for the for the Cardinals, 336 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 1: author Marlitt from the Jets, Javier Elliott for the Panthers. 337 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: I had another guy Rashaud Melvin for the Lions, and 338 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: even Daryl Worley for the Raiders. Most of these guys 339 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: are young guys under thirty years old. You know, they've 340 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: played fifty to sixty percent of the snaps, but from 341 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: a salary standpoint, they're probably going to come in under 342 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: the two million a year type deal. And when you 343 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: add a guy like that when you can add multiple guys, right, 344 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: you can add five guys at two million or one 345 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: guy ten million. I think you go with the shotgun 346 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: effect and see what guys come in, how well they 347 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: mold with the guys that are already here. Again, the 348 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: communication level has to be out the roof, and that's 349 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: what really allows you to kind of work around a 350 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: salary cap where you know, we gotta pay Chris Jones, 351 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 1: We're always paying the shark um on offense. We got 352 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 1: Zeus and Tarik Hill and Pat Mahomes, so we got 353 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: to we kind of got a bunch of a big 354 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: salary uh salary cap. Guys are we on on the 355 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: line for the twenty twenty year? Now? We got to 356 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: figure out can we get some of this bargain uh 357 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: these bargain deals. And sometimes you find some guys that 358 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: are twenty six, twenty seven years old, played a lot 359 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: of football and just aren't earning, that aren't requiring that 360 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year price point. Yeah, we're seeing 361 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: that right now in the fridge at market. The one 362 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: year guy where you're giving a one year try. And 363 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: sometimes those guys make big plays to help you win 364 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: Super Bowls. Quite honestly, Breland is in that category. I 365 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: remember his pick, his physical play on the sideline in 366 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. All right, now, we're gonna jump into 367 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: this draft for corners, and I get real fired up 368 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: when I look at this draft and knowing where the 369 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: Chiefs pick. We've talked about right now, there are five picks, 370 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs will start at thirty two, and basically 371 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,480 Speaker 1: we'll follow that sequence all the way through the first 372 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: five rounds and then that's it as it stands right now. 373 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: I call these guys the sec all stars. Now there's 374 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: some exceptions, including the guy most think is at the 375 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: top of the lift list in Jeff Okuda of Ohio State, 376 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: who seems to be like the perfect fighter pilot. He 377 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: can jump right into the P fifty one right now 378 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,239 Speaker 1: and go defend the B seventeens as they go by. 379 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: The enemy of kudas seems he can play man basically 380 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,200 Speaker 1: better man, but can play his own splendid athlete. But 381 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: o'cuda is going to go, I think before the Chiefs 382 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: get to pick. Yeah, but Kuda is what you call 383 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: ice man. If he called if he's the maverick of 384 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: top Gun, then one of the other guys would be 385 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: my man, Trevon Diggs. That's you know, the Dig's brother. 386 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: He's from Bama. He should I mean, depending on how 387 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 1: the draft go come thirty two, him, the guy from 388 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: Terrell from Clemson. You know those guys will still be 389 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 1: in the play around thirty too, um. And if they're 390 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: all on the board come to twenty five twenty six pick, 391 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: then that might be uh, just close enough for you know, 392 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: our man vas to kind of package a couple of 393 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: picks together and move up five slots slots to get 394 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: the guy he really wants. But even later on in 395 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: the draft, there's a there's a number of guys um 396 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: that are available. A lot of long lenky project type 397 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: corners aren't plugging play guys. Aren't guys are gonna come 398 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: in and be your number one or your number two corner. 399 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: But have the physical tools, um to get into a 400 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: you know, get into an organization, especially like ours, where 401 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: you can learn from some of the best technically saying guys. 402 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: Coach Madison UM and coach Spags can can teach a 403 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: guy up just to play a certain position, uh, maybe 404 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: not overload them with the entire playbook, have him playing Uh, 405 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: late late in the game. Uh some some some some 406 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: closed out type downs. Have him work on his posture, 407 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: his pop position, his playmaking ability, his communication. And those 408 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: guys I think did you get later in the rounds 409 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: are some of the guys I'm looking excited for our 410 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: Chiefs to do ath we feel phillips some knees and 411 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: get some best available with the first two or three picks. Yet. 412 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: To me, those are the kind of guys that start 413 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: maybe in your nickel or dime package, become really good 414 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 1: special teams players, and then potentially then drift or morph 415 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: into a starting role in the last half of the season. 416 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: You mentioned Diggs Stefon, Diggs's brother. One of the things 417 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: I like in corners I've learned in this league are 418 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: those who have been wide receivers in college or at 419 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: least started that way. I did a minute with Mitch 420 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: on this. I do a series called a minute with 421 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: Mitch during the season. And who really grows up wanting 422 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: to play corner? They all want to be a quarterback 423 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: of the wide receiver, right, That's what everybody wants to do. 424 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: And then they become corners. You turn them into a corner. 425 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: But either either college wide receivers or high school quarterbacks. 426 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: At one time during the season, we had ten high 427 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: school quarterbacks on the Chiefs roster, and several of those 428 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: were in the defensive secondary, including Brashad Brelan. Now, a 429 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: guy that I want to talk to about who I'm 430 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 1: really intrigued with is Noah Igbinogway Iggy from Auburn, a 431 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: kick returner. He's long, forty two tackles, so he's a 432 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: willing tackler, and they see the SEC where it's the 433 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: closest thing in the SEC west to the National Football 434 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: League seven passers broken up. But Igang, to me is 435 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: a really intriguing prospect, either thirty two or maybe, as 436 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,879 Speaker 1: you were saying, in the second or third round, if 437 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: you can last that long. Yeah, I like that. Here, 438 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: I from Auburn a lot too. And what you do 439 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: know about these cornerbacks that used to be where receivers 440 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 1: is they already know the passing try They know the 441 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: route combinations, so you don't have to spend time over 442 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: coaching what to expect when you see a bunch. Look 443 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 1: you see three receivers together. They know the combination of 444 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: routes to come from these things, and then it makes 445 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: them be that much more anticipatory. Being able to anticipate 446 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: with the break spots on a route. Routes are only 447 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: run at, you know, four or five different depths. You 448 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: know you don't see. You know, it's it's a quick route, 449 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: it's a five yard route, it's a thirteen yard route, 450 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: or it goes to eighteen or has gone down the field. 451 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: There's natural breakpoints because they have to mirror the depth 452 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: of a quarterback or the steps of a quarterback. When 453 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: a quarterback does a three step drop, five step drop, 454 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: seven step drop. There are only certain depths that routes 455 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: get to and those are are natural break points. Some 456 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: dbs don't understand that concept, and they get caught with 457 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: double moves, they get caught with being out of phase 458 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: when you talk about in man coverage. But those that 459 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 1: played the receiver position, because they are already so natural 460 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: at that that that clock that goes in your head 461 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: about when a quarterback hits his fifth spot, the ball's 462 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,360 Speaker 1: coming out, when to look for the ball, those guys 463 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: end up being phenomenal. We talked about Champ Bailey, you know, 464 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: he was a Swiss Army knife for Georgia receiver running 465 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 1: back dB, but he exhaled at the defensive position because 466 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 1: he anticipated what the offensive receivers are doing on every route. Well, 467 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: your guy, Dean Standers, was that too return or a playoffense? 468 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: But I also like the guys who were high school quarterbacks, 469 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: and there are a lot of corners in this league 470 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 1: that played high school quarterback or safeties. One Thornhill was 471 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: the same way because they understand. You're talking about the 472 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 1: nuances of understanding every route on the tree as a 473 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: wide receiver. If a corner also knows, you can get 474 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: into quarterback's head and what they're thinking. And when I 475 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: do my study, he's either looking at him on his 476 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: tendencies or two what's he thinking? If I can think 477 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: like a quarterback as a cornerback, to me, it's an asset. Oh, definitely. 478 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 1: On defense, you get inside position, you're trying to take 479 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: the inside away where he thinks that three step drop 480 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: on that out route is gonna be wide open. Well, 481 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: he doesn't know that you used to play quarterback, and 482 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: so you baited him by lining up inside just to 483 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 1: rob that outside cut. That's how so many picks are 484 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: being made nowadays. Defensively, we have to start lying to 485 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: the quarterback so as eyes. When you get a quarterback 486 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: that doesn't trust his eyes, then you have him hesitate. 487 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: When they hesitate, that allows Frank the tank, the sharp 488 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: to get there. That allows your pass thrush, your linebackers 489 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 1: to get there. You just want them to hesitate one second. 490 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: Be a little bit unsure about what the technique is 491 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: and what the coverage is. Is it man's own? Is 492 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: it true? Man? Is it helped defense as a robber defense. 493 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: If you can make a quarterback hesitate just for a second, 494 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: automatically depends on the momentum swings to the defense, big play, 495 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: interception defense. Some of these other guys that are in 496 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: this draft, Jalen Johnson of Utah's thought it would be 497 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: kind of be a both zone and man guy. Played 498 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: against good players on the Pac twelve. Also, Christin Fulton 499 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: of LSU had a really good combine. Darnay Holmes of UCLA. 500 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: Some list him as a safety, sum as a corner, 501 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 1: a hybrid guy, maybe a good nickel corner. He was 502 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: better in eighteen than in nineteen with UCLA, and then 503 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: he had a very good Senior Bowl. But here again 504 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: is where you've got to trust your scouting staff and 505 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: Brett Veach because we're in a protocol now. We're all 506 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: trying to you know, defeat here the coronavirus at least 507 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: get a to level off. That's why we're all in 508 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: this position all across the earth, really. But here's where 509 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: you have to really kind of trust the work you've 510 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 1: done to this point, because I'm not getting to go 511 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: look at my fighter pilot on his campus. I'm not 512 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: getting to do that, and I'm not getting the top 513 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: fighter pilot the guys that we mentioned to come to 514 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: my facility and take a look at him to see 515 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: how he's doing all of the characteristics that we've talked 516 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: about here. So there's going to be there's got to 517 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: be some trust factor here in bread Beach and his 518 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: guys to me, especially at this position, because they've got 519 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,719 Speaker 1: to get this position at least strengthened some or at 520 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: least bulked up. You only have five on the roster 521 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: we mentioned, you got to get ten or eleven. To me, 522 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 1: that's a couple of free agents, a couple of bargain 523 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: free agents, and then maybe one perhaps two in this 524 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: draft if you can get him or a college free 525 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 1: agent to fill in those gaps. Yeah, and we got 526 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: to use some of our young guys. Right, so we 527 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: know that we had a safety come from Uva. Well, 528 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: guess what it's a corner Bryce Haw at Uva. If 529 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: anybody knows him, that's this guy right wing. Hey, what 530 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,520 Speaker 1: was the great aspects about this guy from Hall from Uva? 531 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 1: Like what you know? Could he could he fit here? 532 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: You know what we need here? Does he fit? Um? 533 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: Aj Terrell? He was at Clemson when d d thereno 534 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: Daniel was there. So you got to rely on these 535 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: guys to be like, hey man, this is it. Ain't 536 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: one of these things where you just signed off on 537 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: him because you want to you know, ho ha h. 538 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: We went to the same school. Uh, let's sign off. No, No, 539 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: this guy's about to be part of your NFL team. 540 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 1: You want them to be successful at this level. You know, 541 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: don't bring a guy who ain't about it. If he 542 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: ain't got what it takes, let us know so we 543 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: can move on. If he's not a great fit for 544 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: what what this culture is, this environment, this championship environment. 545 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: If they can't survive uh, you know and in deep 546 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,760 Speaker 1: waters and they're not willing to you know, do what 547 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,400 Speaker 1: it takes to be great. Uh, let's not even let's 548 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: not spend any time worrying about him. And I think 549 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: with the whole uh COVID you know, COVID nineteen and 550 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: the lack of contacted scouting departments half with these college players, 551 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: it puts a lot of light on your process being 552 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: greater than your product. And what we know about Beach 553 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: and his guys, they've they've gone through the grind of 554 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: getting all their their boards done back in December, and 555 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: so where where a lot of teams might depend on 556 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: that individual meeting to sign off on a guy, I 557 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: think I think some of the really good teams, really 558 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 1: good scouting departments, I'm not sure if they needed as 559 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: much as some of these teams that have been struggling 560 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: with getting the guy, the right type of guys into 561 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: the camp. I put that on Twitter, I think two 562 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: days ago, but I said maybe yesterday. Consistency and continuity 563 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: here are big communication and culture. I think that is 564 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: going to be a big, huge part of the twenty 565 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: twenty NFL seasons. So teams like the Chiefs or the 566 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: Ravens or the Saints have all of that in place, 567 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: but to narrow it down to this position to my fighter, 568 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: our fighter pilot position. I think it really comes into 569 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: focus because the Chiefs at the very least need to 570 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: bulk it up numbers wise. Now, this is a you 571 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: could say a need position, but it's needed in a 572 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: variety of ways. You know, I look at guys in 573 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: the league that I respect, one of the cool things 574 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: and about the one on one and you and I 575 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 1: got the Dodos with others just host some of the 576 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: award winners. Well I got to help host Stefan Gilmore 577 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: of the New England Patriots. All Right, we don't like 578 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots, but I'm gonna tell you what, I'm a 579 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmore. Fantine completions against him, and he's a press 580 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: cover corner, maybe the best corner in league. He was 581 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, so yeah, I guess he's 582 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: the best corner in the league. But a guy like 583 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: that Tredavious White of the Buffalo Bills can absolutely take 584 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: your team to a next level. And if the Chiefs 585 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 1: were twelve and four, you get the cornerback position to 586 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: become even more exciting and explosive. Now you can take 587 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: it's almost thirteen and three or fourteen in two by 588 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: getting a corner who cheeses a play, pick six on 589 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: a long play, or make the you know the outstanding 590 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: plays that a Gilmore or a White can make to 591 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: dictate and change a game. Man. Gilmore was so impressive 592 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: at the one on one. He gave all the credit 593 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: to his teammates, and when we talked about what was 594 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: next for him, he said, going back examining myself, there 595 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,800 Speaker 1: is still so many flaws, he said. The one great 596 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: thing about coach Belichick, you know when he pat you 597 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: on the back, you did it. You did something tremendous. 598 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 1: He's seen so much great football on the defensive side 599 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: of the ball. Did you know if he gives you 600 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,239 Speaker 1: some credit, even a data boy, it's something you can 601 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: hang your hat on. He doesn't give him out often, 602 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: and so it's something that everybody in that culture was 603 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: working towards. I think if you look about you know 604 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: coach spagnotics. Spags has been around some really great defensive 605 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: units and so for this unit to be one that 606 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: he enjoys being around. You see the joy in his 607 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,840 Speaker 1: eyes when it's time to practice. He's not having to 608 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: be dragged out to the field of work with this 609 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: group of guys again, No, No, he's excited about it. 610 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: He gets so I'm put some impact on his impact 611 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: on this chief's kingdom. So I think the mentality of 612 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: this whole defense has has just turned the page. It 613 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:50,680 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what happened in the past, 614 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: is all about what's happening right now on the present, 615 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: in the future for this defense, I think all things 616 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: are trending up with and it begins with some of 617 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: the personnel you can't give to around Matt. You enough 618 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: credit for what's going on that back end of having 619 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 1: everybody lined up in confidence and ready to play, but 620 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: also the individual work ethic various war like you said, 621 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: but Shard, Brelan, Fulton, those guys, Felton, those guys have 622 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: worked there. You know what's off to be some of 623 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: the best um um cover corners and zone break corners 624 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: in the league. And because they can do both things, 625 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: it opens up right for coach Spags. He can he 626 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: can call anything because he's not he's not scared he 627 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: has a guy out there that can't play a certain 628 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: guy or he can't play a certain zone because he's 629 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: scared that the balls gonna get thrown over because the 630 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: guy doesn't play a deep path or deep quarter the 631 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 1: right way. Guys are are becoming so technically sound in 632 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: their ability. It's making coach Spags job a lot easier. 633 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: He has confidence in them, They have confidence and in 634 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,680 Speaker 1: his calls. And you see what happens when everybody communicates. 635 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing to be a defensive player and 636 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: see guys working that way. All right, we're gonna wrap 637 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: this up. But as you look at between now and 638 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: the draft, we're kind a less than a month. To me, 639 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: this position I've got under the microscope more than any 640 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: other because you're laid out here and to find those 641 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: rare guys that can beat Skegee Airman, your fighter pilots, 642 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: if nothing else, the Chiefs have got to bulk up here. 643 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: They've got to find five or six guys to get 644 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: the group that they would want to go to training camp. 645 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,640 Speaker 1: But drafting a guy free agency, even developing some of 646 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 1: their guys even more, to me, is paramount. It's necessary 647 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: for this Chiefs team to take to try to get 648 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 1: back and win that title again. Yeah, a few more 649 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: red tales. This, grab a couple more red tales and 650 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: add them to the crew man. As we know coach 651 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: Spags having coach Madison, they gonna have these guys ready 652 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: to row. When you look at teams for the last thing, 653 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 1: you look at the teams, if you had to say 654 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: right now, who can go win? You know you have 655 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 1: a new staff to come in for some of these teams, 656 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: they haven't had chance that they don't even know each 657 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 1: other yet much less to stat the personnail and the 658 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 1: players our team if we had to start the season today, 659 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: I think a lineup and beat people forty to ten. 660 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: And that's the beautiful thing to go into a draft 661 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: with no holes, no gaping needs.
