Another another track adjusted seen. use them off

2:20
I am waiting for some of the as
2:22
My Secret. Jr. Know
2:24
your body as you been. Blocked.
2:27
In the The A best word for it
2:29
Locked in right now. Ah, I
2:31
also don't know what to do with the baby
2:34
lamb despite what any of these other individuals might
2:36
say here. But zone out, you said less. I
2:38
and. That. Way
2:43
though, it's good we go a little
2:45
tidbit of virtue football before. it's gonna
2:47
go away for a little while again
2:49
year and so have we get. Couple
2:51
topics to talk about. Hadn't into the Ah
2:54
season. Ah, It's.
2:57
Outage he needed call. A
2:59
Lamb. A Baby lamb. Think.
3:02
It's to the lamb. Not
3:04
point is we go from a lamb to a seat and at
3:06
what point. I'd it doesn't
3:08
matter, I want as he goes for overlay of
3:10
this eve that at no point is it a
3:12
baby. You keep up with that. but it it's
3:14
what it what it does. A big there's it
3:16
today. old. Land and a two month old lamp cake
3:19
is that A see the two months. They're
3:21
entirely different. Reserves gets a care of different ways.
3:23
I've done the research of you. I. Have
3:25
actually ah look at the very
3:27
quickly and at one year a
3:29
land become the seat. Of.
3:32
Gays the right now it's currently a baby. It's
3:34
a lamb. Not. A baby lamb
3:36
does the lamb. Like an infant
3:38
versa. but. Yeah. Toddlers
3:40
very broad, That. That's
3:43
is more broadly to live. I'd
3:45
think that I I think this is
3:47
a I think this is more consistent.
3:50
I'm sorry. I. Did you
3:52
guys go? The rookie minicamp started and is
3:54
it like there is? so I wouldn't bet
3:56
on. Yeah,
3:58
it has. They had come
4:00
and gone and dial is always kind
4:03
of funny to see these players. In
4:05
their first I'd you know is that
4:08
cheeseburger skills not backed him as the
4:10
it's not I agree I do change
4:12
of the scales more numerical straightforward will
4:14
get to it later. Oh
4:17
I'm so fascinated by this. On.
4:20
It was yet. will get into that. Where do
4:22
these positions Breakdowns yellow that we are good side
4:24
but you're just kind of the the mini camp
4:26
off the top. Your. There's some
4:29
good. Some guy is always for the
4:31
kind of see these guys in in uniform
4:33
gain to see them moving around a little
4:35
bit like there's not a sign of. Ginormous.
4:38
Take ways right, but there are some things
4:40
that are definitely a little bit more encouraging
4:42
to. The. Courtesy not the one singular
4:45
drop that we saw Xavier were the
4:47
that Bills fans are somehow like claiming
4:49
they won the trade over which is
4:51
is hilarious if you think about like.
4:54
How. Many trades they've lost at how many games
4:56
as significant they will have to the geez they're
4:58
just like up. Yeah, we
5:01
won. A Why rookie many
5:03
t of video we clearly one.
5:06
Said. Being said, if they're probably going a hang
5:08
a banner for that one. But. Yeah
5:10
matty, it's kind of fun to see. I see
5:12
those rookies out there. Yes,
5:15
Those guys are out there. tear up the
5:17
air on this is that this. Is the
5:20
one thing I ever really are targeting Super Jazz
5:22
thus rookie minicamp because not going to see a
5:24
lot I think that's the bigger than to as
5:26
you don't really get to see much because there's
5:28
a very limited about of like press release or
5:31
like media time and which they get a filled
5:33
and release anything. See you're essentially going off all
5:35
just a couple paragraphs the people have bless you
5:37
Greg have every single day and eighty five whatever
5:39
a business sit here and say in the press
5:42
conference and that's a he the be Eddie sticking
5:44
up for his guy. So I have a little.
5:46
Bit of a tough time getting overly jazz
5:48
overworking. many get. However, The
5:51
one. Thing that I can say for certain from what
5:53
I've seen, this. Is.
5:55
a near where the he can run better
5:57
run routes and local aardman is a wide
5:59
receiver that a lot of Haters like to
6:01
compare him to So
6:03
like just seeing him get in that of a couple cuts
6:05
seeing him run a couple of these you're like Hey, this
6:07
isn't a straight line guys They very flexible very
6:09
good route runner or at least has the physical
6:12
traits to be a good route runner at the
6:14
next level It's like that's two thumbs up and
6:16
everything from there will kind of see as it
6:18
keeps going Yeah, that's the
6:20
one thing that I think we can
6:22
take away from rookie minicamp. Yes. It's
6:24
routes against there Yes, they don't have
6:26
anybody that's up there in their face
6:28
or anything like that But it's crisp
6:31
out of worthy all these videos that
6:33
we're getting are very crisp Outside of
6:35
a drop that was basically the first video
6:38
there that everybody saw because it
6:40
was his first rep of training camp And guess what looked
6:43
like a guy that was very focused on do
6:45
the drill right do the drill right do the
6:47
drill right? And then right at the end of
6:49
it drops the pass. I thought it was very
6:51
funny our buddy Arif Hanson
6:53
he he posted a video
6:55
Arif a son a
6:57
son that good night my brain
6:59
just Ch Surfing there. I am
7:01
so sorry Yeah,
7:04
yeah, yeah, it was working like
7:06
Xavier's hands. Yes. Thank you.
7:08
I'm very sorry Anyway,
7:12
he He
7:14
published a video of Derek Henry's first
7:16
rep of training camp and boy
7:18
they were these looks great by comparison Yeah,
7:21
so, you know take all this with a
7:23
grain of salt I know the Twitter was
7:25
freaking out after the video came out there
7:27
and everybody was losing their damn minds That's
7:29
what camp is referencing with the bills there
7:32
then said oh We won the trade because
7:34
he dropped his very first rep of training
7:36
camp Look at the rest of them
7:38
look at the way that he moves out there Look
7:40
at the suddenness the crispness Everything
7:42
is very clean the way that he cuts
7:45
the way that he moves everything is very
7:47
clean And that's why every single player that
7:49
has been interviewed that has done any sort
7:51
of podium visit at all this week The
7:53
number one thing to come out of their
7:56
mouth Yeah, Xavier's fast
7:58
like he, she's he. Is. Crazy.
8:01
Fast. You know we don't know what
8:03
to do with this he. It's so
8:05
fast. It's not just that, That's
8:07
what everybody's gonna hang on. That's what they're being asked
8:09
about. It's the Christmas is the
8:11
cleanness. It's the cuts that he's doing there
8:14
that are the most important things. Because those
8:16
are things that we haven't seen out of
8:18
these faster wide receivers that have gone in
8:21
the Nfl. It. He. With funny
8:23
thing is if he was just fast he'd
8:25
still be pretty good but there's still a
8:27
lot of value their in a lot he
8:29
can do. Ah, Yeah kind of
8:32
a new and me that people relate. To.
8:34
And like. Either.
8:37
A permit run in a parade because he
8:39
dropped one singular pass by. I I'd
8:42
The funny thing is to as I think
8:44
he looks a lot like comical looked physically
8:46
list this last season like I know we
8:48
know in local are beware hundred and eighty
8:50
six pounds coming into. Yeah. The
8:52
Nfl. By. If you saw the
8:54
way he was playing lat play at this
8:57
year it did not look like the same
8:59
kind of a car and we saw and
9:01
I think I think they viewer the looks
9:03
much more similar to. Yell.
9:05
at what we saw in the cold kind of play that
9:08
this year to sully give you any used as a barometer
9:10
to say okay like. Guys. The size
9:12
can play at this like level like. That.
9:14
There it is. There. It is. Any.
9:17
Read had some interesting comments on on some
9:19
of the some of the players here and
9:21
he has some some pause and take ways
9:23
from some of these guys. And
9:26
we can try to continue on with as a
9:28
viewer the conversation. With. A quote that
9:30
we have here are about. They've
9:32
You're worthy. Performance:
9:34
In can't Yell I recently started
9:36
idea. We've. Talked about the route
9:39
running. We talked a little bit about the
9:41
speed. For. Any real is a
9:43
impressed. By. How you they will retain
9:45
the i able to pick things up. Powys
9:47
able to learn the playbook. I. Thought
9:49
he did a nice job picking things up
9:51
and working through things. Andy Reid said. We.
9:54
Asked the do have a lot of stuff here.
9:56
He was put in mostly the primary spots. So.
9:58
Good for him to get in there. A. Move
10:00
around a little bit. use a sharp kid.
10:03
That's always a good thing to see, especially since one of
10:05
the biggest learning curves when it comes. To. An
10:07
indie replay book in any read. Rookie
10:09
try to get acclimated to an office
10:11
is learning multiple spots in being able
10:14
to handle a very difficult playbook. So.
10:18
They've mentioned this at earth not look at
10:20
sidetracked. First, The Kansas City Chiefs just tweeted
10:22
that a picture of all of the rookies
10:24
at ready to give the draft picks and
10:26
it is the funniest thing I've ever seen
10:28
because exist know where. The a standing in
10:30
between seemingly as other nor that standing
10:33
up in the background. This is that
10:35
when Jared Wiley as I see the
10:37
next year old they have the other
10:39
two smalls kneeling in front of them.
10:41
So to me it's better to that
10:44
effect sir state in a sense it's
10:46
waiting for it. Just got his with
10:48
it is a beautiful it didn't they
10:50
I've ever seen. Sorry.
10:54
I couldn't answer. For what it's wonderful,
10:57
he looks like he's the first to
10:59
suffer from Traffic is going to have
11:01
probably the biggest impact of any player
11:03
in this draft class. It he looks
11:05
like somebody little brother out there. Why
11:07
did they organized him that way? Can
11:09
we the that know therapist? They did
11:11
a purpose right didn't I did as
11:13
producer Tucker question really quickly. Produce.
11:15
A tug. Are. We are we
11:18
permitted to share this photo. Ah,
11:20
On the show right now is that. I
11:24
didn't is up. You can pull
11:26
again. I'll I'll edit it and I'll what's
11:28
known as And so yeah. Well as we
11:30
are, we're going to get back to this
11:32
finity. Besides, Or. Visited him to
11:34
get back to this to get by does
11:36
go back to the voice of they had
11:38
mentioned numerous times that were these empathy smart
11:40
football player I apparently that was street from
11:42
sarkies and ah the coat had go to
11:44
Texas cause him and Edu close now. Obviously
11:47
he's gonna sit up for his. Die. He is going
11:49
to stand up for people you know they keep. We've.
11:51
Added things like that like. it's gonna make
11:53
sense to talk highly by guy but the seeds
11:55
believed the he's a smart football player we've heard
11:57
that from other people not really that she's have
12:00
described him as a smart football player. So
12:02
it's no surprise to me that he's kind
12:04
of come in and been able to repress
12:06
them with his ability to impress them with
12:08
his ability to retain the information, to learn
12:10
the playbook, to do multiple things, to play
12:12
multiple worlds. I don't think that's surprising, but
12:14
it's really nice to hear or really nice to
12:16
see because I do think that is something that
12:19
you always worry about when you think fastest
12:21
player in the NFL history, you're like, oh,
12:23
can he play football or is he just
12:25
fast? I think it's pretty clear that worthy
12:27
is not just fast. And I think the IQ
12:29
and his ability to understand the game really shows
12:31
that and they're trying to get that point across
12:33
to us. Yeah, Andy came
12:36
out and said he is
12:38
playing all three wide receiver spots and
12:40
made sure to stress, we don't have
12:42
anybody else doing that. We don't have
12:44
anybody else that we feel comfortable lining
12:47
up in all those spots. Matter of
12:49
fact, he even stated it's very rare
12:51
that we have had guys that have
12:53
come in that have run in all
12:55
three wide receiver spots. And
12:58
as a punt returner that speaks to his ability
13:00
to pick up the playbook already, he alluded to
13:02
the fact that, hey, some of these concepts are
13:04
pretty similar to what I ran in Texas. I
13:07
know this playbook a little bit. I've seen some
13:09
of this before. So yes, some of that transition
13:11
is maybe a little bit easier. But
13:14
in the same vein, you don't have
13:16
guys at Andy Reid, you know, in
13:18
Andy Reid rookie mini camps that come
13:20
in to do this period. We've
13:22
talked all the time about how wide
13:24
receivers in year one with Andy
13:26
Reid have a very limited playbook
13:28
have a very limited impact on the team. I
13:30
know the Rashi Rice coming in last year kind
13:33
of broke the mold a little bit. But
13:35
even that was a slower start as they eased
13:37
him into some of the things that he needs
13:39
to do. It wasn't until towards the end of
13:41
the year that we were seeing him move around
13:44
a little bit more than we were seeing the
13:46
broader route tree. It sounds like they're putting all
13:48
that on Xavier Worthy's plate immediately. And if Andy's
13:50
already impressed by that, well, that's good. You
13:52
know, we, baby's Never going to
13:55
come out and say, Oh, this guy sucks. He's
13:57
doing terrible with it. Never, ever, never, ever going
13:59
to say that. But what you'll see
14:01
you think that we've seen about other guys.
14:03
You know it's like hague, keep head out.
14:05
Yeah, maybe you'll play some of this way.
14:07
We need to see a little bit more
14:09
here. When you see a little bit more
14:11
here, it's not a few surprises like it
14:13
has Then for his age you're worthy. So
14:15
far into the city. Sets. Sets
14:18
something that I I just can't tucked into
14:20
back my brain here to put this much
14:22
on his plate. A D is so
14:24
excited for it. I'm wonder if we're going to see
14:26
an even bigger impact and I'm even think and I
14:28
got high hopes for Save Your Where the your One.
14:31
On. Wonder if we're going to see week
14:33
one Xavier worthy be a major impact of
14:35
this office? Whereas maybe I was thinking. And
14:37
will see it and spots early on, but
14:40
maybe towards the end of the year we
14:42
see some develop. Now this guy. it may
14:44
be a walk in and play immediately. sort
14:46
a D of. Yeah.
14:48
You know the he hear the cheese talk
14:50
about starting his pack, his players and graduating
14:52
into more of a full time role. Play.
14:55
And ability to pick up the stuff so quickly
14:57
could help in. Your. Hotel Board
14:59
The bypass. Yeah. The package
15:02
player tag in more of a full
15:04
time type of role. A bigger workload.
15:06
A heavy workload where it's not just.
15:08
E. L a package or to just to kick things
15:10
off and you know they might be pushing him
15:13
a little bit harder to try to get done.
15:15
Just. Because you know they my as in
15:17
question marks sitting at the wide receiver position
15:19
to potentially with for see rice So. I
15:22
like that were were seen him get involved a little
15:24
bit. Very quickly by the way.
15:26
Also, and a shoutout Charles Bolden A to Z
15:28
Sports. He's. Ah he's he's accumulated.
15:30
Saw these quotes and used as they
15:32
grow some interesting. Was here to for
15:34
shirt. Ah, Moving on,
15:37
Eighty. Read talking about year and Wiley.
15:40
And. Liking way he did he was said
15:42
he likes what he saw as year and wiley. Ah,
15:45
He likes side. You know that he of
15:47
his ability as a route runner didn't Big
15:50
kid says directions. He was good at blocker
15:52
in college. the will see how that transfers.
15:54
Select. The passing game side of it
15:57
has been very encouraging free Andy Reid
15:59
on the year while the front matthew.
16:02
Get. A. It. Sounds like
16:04
so with these camps A does decide to do a
16:06
lot. Of run game work, Gray eighty reads pretty much
16:08
come out Zola. Hey, we don't work on the run
16:10
game your they actually don't know da's really either. It's
16:12
all passing so. It's. By voting. this
16:15
is where you know. This.
16:18
Is gonna be where you're going to get the receiving skills.
16:20
Never the like that. It
16:22
looks like Salinger alleys been touching everything he
16:24
is look very good. Arm supporter basic about
16:26
the like a he's kind of he's where
16:28
he needs to be. They specifically noted working
16:30
across the field fighting him on crossers and
16:33
stuff like that it is. it sounds like
16:35
your voice but jeered why we have been
16:37
very positive thus far. I think
16:39
we still have to temper expectations. He has
16:41
had the next Travis Celsius and Travis Chelsea
16:43
replace that seats on him and his The.
16:45
Day through traffic that is Ill transitioning to
16:47
play tightened It might take him a little
16:50
bit. I don't think we're going to make
16:52
sure we don't jump the gun based on
16:54
a rookie minicamp. Year because I think some people
16:56
are already edging. Towards that ports are
16:58
doing that into the season because
17:00
the athleticism because there are some
17:02
similarities. The Travis Kelsey. Little. Lot
17:04
of players have tried to go to the Nfl with
17:06
similar. The truth is filthy and there's been one Travis
17:08
Kills like it is a you think we gotta be
17:11
a little careful. With that, but that said, it sounds
17:13
like. Is receiving has gone very well so far.
17:15
Will hopefully that will carry over to Old Yeas
17:17
where they can start doing more one on ones,
17:19
no contact the like, more one on one it
17:21
a little bit. get a book. How. Much
17:23
he retained going from. A relatively
17:26
simple Tc while sense to and eighty
17:28
read off it's it's. Gonna be a lot more
17:30
complex. Ask the do a lot where things. Are
17:32
good And the thing with a D on this
17:34
one is he's impressed by his cuts, He's impressed
17:37
by his movement, abilities of prayer in the highest,
17:39
by his brakes and that's that's put your week
17:41
we featured. Why leaves more of a move? Tighten
17:43
the scheme It even Elite as you know, eluded
17:46
do. It is like. Yeah, we room
17:48
for pets are we Re? I'm have lined
17:50
up. We haven't done eighty of the things
17:52
that would kind of. Dearest. good
17:54
barometer where he is that are
17:56
as a run blocker didn't seem
17:59
super hyped about what he was
18:01
gonna see from that, but was
18:03
very impressed by that. Chris
18:06
Olodokun, quarterback. Olodokun.
18:08
Olodokun, no, I'm calling him
18:10
Ol... What is
18:13
going on? Listen, I'm calling
18:16
him Chris. So old
18:18
Chrissy boy. Chris out here. No,
18:21
he is kind of Pat's vessel for
18:23
this mini camp here. He's talked about
18:26
it a lot, where he says, I'm
18:29
talking to Pat every day. I'm calling
18:31
him on the phone every day. I'm
18:33
describing where these guys like the ball,
18:35
what I'm seeing, the sorts of things
18:37
that I'm seeing, the positive developments, the
18:39
negative stuff, everything like that. And
18:41
he just wanted to gush about worthy
18:43
and widely, both of them. Just like,
18:45
hey, this is different. We haven't
18:48
seen this in a little while. And it's
18:50
not like Chris is sitting there
18:52
in all of these camps, doing nothing.
18:55
He's around, he's been around this
18:58
team. He's seeing Travis Kelsey. He's
19:00
seeing all of these NFL
19:02
level wide receivers. And the fact that he's
19:04
out here and he's thrown into these guys
19:06
and he's so impressed and he's got a
19:08
call and gushed him at homes about it,
19:11
is a very positive thing. This isn't just
19:13
smoke from the team that we are hearing
19:16
here. The fact that Andy Reid really likes
19:18
what he's seeing in the passing game for
19:20
both these guys. The fact that he really
19:22
liked it and Chris really likes what he's
19:25
seeing, throwing to both of these guys, is
19:27
an incredibly positive development. We did not see
19:30
this kind of hype coming out of last
19:32
year's rookie minicamp. Now, we saw a lot
19:34
of hype coming out of training camp. So,
19:37
everybody withhold your expectations for this year, because
19:39
we obviously saw that went forward. They were
19:41
receiving weapons as the year went along, but
19:44
this is different. This feels different.
19:46
And the approach just feels different
19:48
in what they're doing there. So
19:50
I'm excited once they get into
19:53
real OTAs and the real minicamp, where we start
19:55
seeing kind of how they match up against some
19:58
of these guys that have been on the... field
20:00
for a long time in this office. All
20:03
right, moving on, Andy Reid talking about
20:05
the young offensive line group saying
20:08
it's one of the best groups that the things that
20:10
they've had. I thought it was good, Reid
20:12
said, I'll be curious to see what our other guys get in
20:14
here. I mean, we're not going
20:16
live, so you've got to see. There's no run game. So
20:18
other than that, sorry,
20:22
we said we're not doing anything that we're not doing that
20:24
against each other. So you're not going to
20:26
see that going on. But I liked what I saw. From what I
20:28
saw, it's going to be one of the best young offensive
20:30
line groups we've had in here
20:32
collectively now. Three
20:35
draft picks along that offensive line this
20:38
year. So like, I think there's definitely an
20:40
influx of talent and in group of players
20:42
that this team is quite interested in. So
20:44
it's good to hear that this group has
20:46
hit the ground running yet some praise for
20:48
King Lee Suo Mata Ia. But
20:51
as a group felt pretty good about what
20:53
he saw from the young offensive line. A
20:56
long ways to go, especially at that position.
20:58
But you like to hear positive reviews, especially
21:01
when three-sevenths of your draft class is
21:03
those guys. Speaking
21:06
of the group, I think it's time to pull
21:08
up the Chiefs rookie of the last pick group
21:10
shot. Yes. I
21:12
can't. By the way, number 12 is
21:15
Jared Wiley.
21:19
That is not an offensive lineman despite
21:22
his length there. Oh
21:24
my goodness. That picture cut that I get,
21:26
they did all offense in the back and the defensive
21:28
players up front. Like I get how they
21:30
got to this spot. And if you're going to put worthy in
21:32
there, he has to be in the middle. But
21:35
it's just the funniest picture I've ever
21:37
seen. Well,
21:39
it's like a depth perception thing. It's like
21:41
more just like that. He's just farther away
21:43
than everybody. I think you can
21:45
clearly see that he's standing in front of. He's standing in
21:47
front of Puddles over there. He finds better.
21:51
Yeah. Yeah. I
21:54
said, I said I can't do
21:56
a whole lot. Get excited about Ricky Minicamp just in
21:59
general. get a little bit more
22:01
out of it for skill position players and offensive linemen.
22:03
I think Andy kind of nailed it. There's no contact.
22:05
There's no one-on-ones. They're just doing
22:07
drills. It's drills. And that's not the takeaway from
22:09
what he said, that this is one of the
22:11
more promising groups they've had come in. I can
22:13
fully buy that. That they look really good. I
22:15
can buy that. Andy Reid did
22:17
also say, we'll see what it looks like
22:20
with other guys get in here referencing like,
22:22
hey, once OTA start, now we'll get a
22:24
little bit more competition. We'll get to see
22:26
them compared to other guys. We'll see what
22:28
they retain. We can do a few more
22:30
challenging, competitive things. So we'll see
22:32
how it plays out again, going forward kind of
22:35
like everything else. I just think there's a little
22:37
bit less to take away from rookie mini camp,
22:39
rookie camp in terms of offensive linemen. If a
22:41
guy looks bad at rookie mini camp, like that's a
22:43
problem, right? If anybody ever looks bad in rookie mini
22:45
camp, that's not a good thing because
22:48
you're just doing drills. And
22:50
I know we talked about the Derek Henry drill at the beginning,
22:52
but again, that's one drill. I bet
22:54
if we go back and look, nobody was like,
22:56
oh, Derek Henry looks terrible. I bet all the
22:58
reports were how he impressed them besides this one drill
23:01
that made it out. So like, everyone's going to look
23:03
good in rookie mini camp. Craig, real quick,
23:05
real quick, before you jump in. Am
23:08
I like hearing the
23:10
lamb making its podcast debut just like
23:13
slightly, or is that just me? It
23:16
sounded like I heard the lamb in the background.
23:20
So in your world, I'm
23:23
keeping my lamb in my house or in
23:25
the office. I just
23:28
maybe just outside the office in a
23:30
field, maybe just in your lap, just
23:32
like snuggling. I just heard
23:34
them. I heard something. You
23:36
might hear an angry baby, which is also, yeah,
23:39
that's a possibility. I like that you
23:41
jumped to lamb though. That was good.
23:43
That's good. That's good. No, of course
23:45
the offensive lineman look good in rookie mini
23:48
camp. They get all move. Like they are
23:50
all great elite movers. Like every single one
23:52
of these guys, when you go down the
23:54
list, what are they best at? Movement. What
23:57
are they worst at? Maybe some of the other more physical.
24:00
So yeah, you put them
24:02
in rookie minicamp where they can't really light up
24:04
across from somebody and hit them You
24:07
don't get taken advantage of by the defender who has
24:09
a little more pass rush moves than they do and
24:11
really kind of Exploit some of the things they don't
24:13
do well. Yeah, you're getting out
24:16
in space I'm sure that when they
24:18
are running screenplays right now and rookie
24:20
minicamp that having guys like
24:22
hunter norzad Kingsley's
24:24
sua matat ea and
24:26
CJ Hansen out in space in front
24:29
of Carson's field. It
24:31
looks great. I'm sure it does. They're paving
24:33
the way They're able to outrun some of
24:35
these guys like I'm sure it does look
24:37
great So I am taking
24:39
that with a massive grain of salt here
24:42
But at the same time we are
24:44
not too far removed from them drafting
24:46
a Creed Humphrey and a Trey Smith
24:48
in the same year and showing up
24:50
to rookie minicamp and We
24:53
did not have this sort of heat around
24:55
these guys now again They didn't have
24:57
the movement of it Crete did but Trey didn't
24:59
have the movement ability of some of these other
25:01
guys So I
25:04
can see how they get there with this group
25:06
I can see how he's excited for this group
25:08
because he's getting back to some of
25:10
his staples that maybe hasn't been able to Run as
25:12
well in the past for some of these heavier
25:15
tackles Maybe some slower footed players that are
25:17
out in space now all of
25:19
a sudden you've got some really elite movers so yeah,
25:21
you get a little bit excited about that, but I
25:24
am Definitely like this is
25:26
this is the one that matters like even
25:29
through training camp It's not gonna be until preseason
25:31
week one before I started getting hyped about
25:33
any of the players on offensive line
25:36
outside of maybe a Kingsley just to
25:38
see how that technique cleans up a
25:40
little bit because that's a that's a
25:42
true path and being a starting left
25:44
tackle for well, I will
25:47
be looking heavily
25:49
at the photos of Chiefs
25:51
OTAs and Mini
25:53
camps to figure out if Kingsley's playing left tackle
25:55
for this team Just be
25:57
warned. I will be looking into every single foot
26:00
very intently. Let's try to see if we
26:02
can figure that out. We're going to take a break.

29:17
Network. We really do, it means a lot. We've
29:20
done positional breakdowns last few years.
29:25
Things went very interestingly last year
29:27
with the Andy
29:29
Reid cheeseburger scale. Matty
29:32
you said you had some ideas, why don't
29:34
you just kind of set the tone for
29:36
this whole summer here buddy? Do you have
29:38
any idea? You're distancing himself from the cheeseburger
29:40
scale. No it's Andy's, it's not
29:42
ours. Okay, last year though
29:45
was the same thing we did the cheeseburger scale
29:47
and it was established by Andy Reid and we
29:49
broke down and compared the cheese position
29:51
to Abilish. Various
29:54
cheeseburger establishments around the Kansas City area.
29:57
That's how bad you call it. And
30:01
it went great. People of the some
30:03
people didn't like it but nord. He
30:06
got people go it okay in so. This
30:08
year and a scrap of the cheese resources
30:11
that are still is. Our cheeseburgers are definitely
30:13
twenty twenty three. Think you're moving on to
30:15
newer and more clear and more directed, easier
30:17
to understand heights. So for this year we're
30:20
no longer using the cheeseburger skill we are
30:22
in. Fact: Using the Italian food scale
30:24
this season says each Kansas City Chiefs
30:27
position will groups said. The Italian food
30:29
still goes as follows: Of course that
30:31
Top Dog is Go! Rose owes you
30:34
out of bed and your the kids
30:36
City area make your way to grow
30:38
Those Get yourself a speedy it's phenomenal.
30:41
Next up. Close. Agate but it's
30:43
it. It's clearly second place Cast goalies also
30:45
delicious. Have a bid get their have lot
30:47
of one grows those elite perfect. This is
30:50
what you want to shoot for. Passcode is
30:52
this is very good this above have this
30:54
is a good spot to be and go
30:56
at Greg you have a question I would
30:59
just gonna say or are. You
31:01
trying to get a mob hit put out on use.
31:03
You better be careful about the last two bodies. With.
31:06
Grip Oh. With. All three we
31:08
say face the last sip. Okay
31:10
now the below. Average Like the god this
31:12
works. This will get me through a tough night and
31:14
get us to a top. We gave a we don't
31:16
We really want to get better for this Olive Garden.
31:19
At. It's fine you go to Olive Garden.
31:21
Not like hating yourself, but also you want. To
31:23
do better and then finally this needs a ton
31:25
of improve it. We don't like it, we have
31:28
to deal with it. Was. Always. Yeah,
31:30
a lot I'm rolling again it is
31:32
that he's He's Italian food at it.
31:35
We. Jobs. And. It's a voice. To
31:38
do list those off top to bottom. A good
31:40
for the people at home. definitely not for me.
31:42
Oh for sure I wrote it down. Rose
31:45
those Elites testimonies. Very.
31:48
Good. Olive Garden? Yeah,
31:50
okay. it works. Was.
31:52
Always a puzzle. Things. Except.
31:55
That that? that? Sit.
31:58
Sit. With. Them. We've.
32:02
Always. Ah, My
32:04
his successor. Our
32:06
the ah ok. Let's.
32:09
Do Quarterback Grove those. Fish.
32:12
Prefer honor I out move it added
32:14
advantage that goal yeah ah zoning cedric
32:17
Such a you're fired Tucker your fight
32:19
I see like pay the game for
32:21
a second. Ah
32:24
no it's argued about the girls those of
32:26
with Arsenal Football League in some would say
32:28
the his of the sport the quarterback position.
32:31
Said. And phenomenally with with V
32:33
I would padgett revival homes a
32:35
idiot book. Is
32:38
it and also he and but. Ah,
32:40
I will say I do think this is that
32:42
this might wind up being the best backup quarterback
32:45
that she says ever had. Ah
32:47
you know I know the think it's kind of
32:49
weird because. Sad. Had he was. Taken
32:52
when you inside any didn't tin.
32:54
Can put a drive together. And
32:56
Tell had he can be consistent in
32:58
smart and make good decisions. The football
33:00
gets down the field. And
33:03
then I see Carson Wentz is like course the words of
33:05
my B o two when you to out of us to
33:07
at a three. He might be able to
33:09
put a small stretch together. In case
33:11
something did indeed happen to Patrick mom's
33:14
for a stretch that forced in the
33:16
midst games I feel better about. Carson.
33:19
Wentz his presence in this team or a
33:21
extended period of time that any quarterback adding
33:23
the team is ever had. Yeah,
33:26
I think we're all done. Agree about Patrick Bones
33:28
like yo that's a gross those that easy in
33:30
this whole. this opposition group is hop and light.
33:32
It's elite. there's no real questions to be ass
33:35
or holes to be pulled. And I think you
33:37
only further frame that when you look at Carson
33:39
wit flight. This is a guy that was. In
33:41
the running for an M V
33:43
P season that a while though.
33:46
But. Not that long ago, right? That
33:48
seems ago. That. Is still
33:50
within the realm of possibility. But like that
33:52
is still that the memory other use. Like
33:54
myself, Carson Wentz was an Mvp candidate, right?
33:57
and so. That's. Giving them.
33:59
An awesome. Backup quarterback you attach will
34:01
have this guy's. Going to step in for
34:03
a series for a game if you need to.
34:05
whatever it may be adding unit he died. Drive
34:07
down a further down the list like we got
34:09
off or Duke and Ed is he a book?
34:12
Or. What a battle for to be three as
34:14
our A I don't think it's a battle really is
34:16
as I like. I like what I've seen. Ah, but
34:18
out of Chris going with through the seasons of stuff
34:21
like that either, you've gotten better each and every. Single
34:23
pod. we've got a seed go out there. I liked
34:25
him as as developmental quarterbacks three that they don't have
34:27
the put on thirty three med rosters like there's not
34:29
really any holes. The poke in this position of the
34:32
fact that Carson Wentz doesn't have a number. Which.
34:34
Who would be a prop? Joe.
34:38
Carson. Wentz. Clearly.
34:40
The best backup that they have had. With.
34:42
Patrick my homes as the
34:44
starting quarterback, so I believe
34:46
we even. Place. This
34:48
a top. The. Cheeseburger scale last
34:51
year with only got better. Make
34:53
it really. Has just gotten
34:55
better. Yeah third cousin was go be a
34:57
little bit of a rollercoaster at times, but.
35:00
So. Was Blaine Gabbert. So.
35:02
Was shed any your your yeah Blake
35:04
ever was a lot league Our was
35:06
Jos dad. Well. Mine
35:09
mean as far as they are you was
35:12
a backup quarterback and the hum of them
35:14
are as by i'm i'm not there are
35:16
muslim had done complaint our i think use
35:18
the were as backup quarterback to the cheese
35:20
of that the patch bomb their as we
35:23
continue. I mean. With. I
35:25
think will remember chad any setting in
35:27
that more stepping in winning games for
35:29
this team when they absolutely needed that
35:31
to happen. It's a we just kind
35:33
of chalk that up as. Hey.
35:36
They're definitely gonna need this. They're
35:38
definitely gonna need it at some
35:40
point. They did meet Blaine Gabbert
35:42
do that last year, and so
35:44
an ideal scenario here is that
35:46
you're paying Carson Wentz a. Fairly.
35:49
Decent sum of money year not like.
35:51
A week backup quarterback Money or anything
35:54
but. Decent. and
35:56
us money to be a back up
35:58
and never taken as snap or to
36:00
take only the week 18 snaps
36:02
like that's what you are hoping for here
36:06
Carson wins can do a little bit more than
36:08
what some of those other guys been able to
36:10
do he's familiar with the
36:12
offense especially under Doug Peterson he that's
36:15
where he was having some of his
36:17
you know most success in the NFL
36:19
was under Doug he's going under a
36:21
similar system here he's got good supporting
36:24
his roles here he's gonna be able
36:26
to not have a ton of pressure
36:28
on him he's not competing for a
36:30
spot like he has been over the
36:33
past several years until very very recently
36:35
with last year it's always been a
36:37
little bit of a weight on his shoulders
36:39
here he shows up to Kansas City before
36:42
the season starts you're gonna get the full
36:44
playbook he's not expected to contribute in a
36:46
massive way for this team in any way
36:48
shape or form so yeah
36:50
you're still relying on Patrick Mahomes and
36:53
you've got a good quality backup here
36:55
and a good quality third QB like
36:57
good enough quality third QB it's
37:00
a very easy Garrosos here
37:03
I like I think I like the
37:05
the the room to like I
37:07
think it's a great way of putting it just beyond the
37:09
top two it's like I think there's always been a good
37:11
sound board you know
37:13
or you know a good kind of
37:16
guy in the room for Patrick you know a
37:19
guy like Chris Oledo can or
37:21
a Shane Bushell like Shane Bushell is out
37:23
with he's out in Miami
37:25
right now with Patrick Mahomes right now like
37:27
he's still got a relationship with the Shane
37:29
Bushell even outside of that so like I
37:31
think it's kind of cool to see can
37:34
we move on to the defensive tackle is that all
37:36
right yeah
37:38
I think so I think we yeah we can get
37:40
back out jump in the car we got to go
37:42
and hit our second course which which Italian restaurant are
37:45
we going to now get oh my god I guess
37:47
that I guess Maddie doesn't think there's the Garrosos or
37:49
else you would have just spayed I
37:52
Think it's funny that we have aired
37:54
the two two of the biggest blue
37:56
chips in not only this season but
37:59
team history together. With the defensive
38:01
tackles in the quarterback so offensive tackles I'm gonna
38:03
give it a cast. go on a that the
38:05
it's a very good position and I think they're
38:07
very good is doing. Ah, With
38:09
Christians doing a lot of the
38:12
heavy lifting years. the wine with
38:14
the parmesan cheese scraper that is
38:16
just lowden up your salad and
38:18
lowden appeared your your meal right
38:20
there because usual lot of have
38:22
lived for this team. When.
38:24
It comes to the Feds tackled position as
38:27
always been the case though as is always
38:29
been the case with the defensive tackle position
38:31
I think he of their kind of spending
38:33
big with Chris and really not making a
38:35
ton of major investments or major yelled like
38:37
and signing a bunch of big players. Beyond
38:39
that they've got a lot of players on
38:42
one year deals. They. Have a lot
38:44
of players. I defective. Three. Players
38:46
on where players on one year deals. They've.
38:49
You know they they brought back to work and
38:51
that mike Now they're naughty. Ah,
38:53
That decreasing I say a Bugs. And.
38:56
You've got Neil fail. The traded for. Ah,
38:59
Last year and then Fabian the vet. Someone that
39:01
could potentially stick in there on the roster. but.
39:03
On. Yeah. I think this is a
39:05
very good group. Would add to it the heavy
39:08
lifting is being done by a blued said player.
39:10
One of the best defensive tackles and also ball
39:12
christians. To. Guess here the the
39:14
part, where can you. Tell. Him
39:16
on his to take their movies like yeah
39:18
it's the the point where they just put
39:20
a whole bunch. Of
39:23
the yourself know. Yeah.
39:27
I did. I learn to gloss over it. I was
39:29
going to let that one. Lady Letters: Every inside
39:31
or outside. This isn't like an Olive
39:34
Garden thing. says. Be tethered
39:36
aim is there. That is like the
39:38
best part of the meal Out leader
39:40
that know as good as your that
39:42
head was if others on sees I'm
39:44
just saying he's like he's like that
39:46
he just he'd given yet. He's.
39:48
Giving you that extra is go that extra mile.
39:50
He's the one that really do on a more
39:52
the work here. It's not just this is like.
39:56
it means that with the work of
39:58
the individual sprinkling of parmesan this
40:00
the actual parmesan sure
40:04
that italian food very bland without the
40:06
parmesan let me tell you yeah i
40:08
know that's it i can't say something
40:10
really quick sorry about this good i
40:15
i don't really like i
40:17
i actually i get putting the parmesan
40:19
on your salad more than i get
40:21
putting on your Italian rest on your
40:23
talent because i don't think the parmesan
40:25
enhances the extra fresh
40:27
shredded parmesan enhances most
40:31
like the meal that much like i don't think you
40:33
can tell very often maybe it's
40:35
just because like i'm doing like an alfredo most
40:37
of the time so that might be part of
40:39
it but i don't think the fresh what
40:41
do you think's in alfredo it's parmesan
40:43
i should i shouldn't say like
40:46
on a lasagna
40:49
on a lasagna i'm not noticing
40:51
as much i kid
40:54
i i'm sorry i maybe thought that
40:56
mattie was gonna get the mob hit put out
40:58
on him and it's you i'm sorry buddy i
41:04
love you kid i'm
41:08
glad you shared that with us i needed something for
41:10
a place judging the taste of
41:13
nuts with meal with his best with
41:15
chocolate and i think it's still part
41:17
of a shot out of context just
41:20
clip that tucker i i need
41:22
you to click this all
41:25
right well how do we
41:27
get this back to tracking down away from
41:29
parmesan cheese is overrated fresh
41:31
parmesan cheese is overrated let's leave the
41:34
job are out um so
41:36
let's go the Vincent tackle room
41:39
i also go casko is i
41:41
think it's very exceptional it's very good
41:44
that's a lot because of chris jones i
41:46
will say this it's like going there
41:48
and just ordering the meatball pasta marinara it's
41:50
good you know what's gonna be good yes
41:53
you get parmesan cheese on there because that's
41:55
the only way you get fresh chimes apparently
41:57
it's very good but like if you're gonna go
41:59
there that's not what I'm going for. It's not what I'm
42:01
springing for. I'm not springing for that level. And the reason
42:03
that I think the defensive tackle room is
42:05
just like a nice, good, but
42:08
basic dish that you are going to basically tell you
42:10
a dish that you can get anywhere that you, I
42:12
don't know if you can overly enhance anywhere is because
42:14
they have surrounded him with a bunch of one year,
42:16
just another guy, role players all
42:18
around him. They have given him not a running
42:20
mate. They haven't given him somebody they it's
42:23
Kessco is, but they take away like your bread and oil. You
42:25
don't get, you don't get the oil to dip
42:27
your bread into start. They took all that away
42:29
because they just signed a bunch of one year
42:31
deals, right? Like it's just, it's good. It's
42:33
very good. I don't want to take anything away from
42:35
the rule, but I don't think they put enough help
42:37
around there. So it's a lower in past. Go in his
42:39
meal is with this defensive talk room is because Chris
42:41
Jones is great. You got to start preserving
42:44
him. We got to get more years out of Chris Jones.
42:46
And that means he can't play 80% of the snaps. That
42:48
means he can't be the linchpin to every defensive
42:50
series to every third down. And no
42:52
offense. I love Mike Vannell and I like some of the
42:54
shots are taken on my guys, like Isaiah bugs and things
42:56
like that. But nobody else on this
42:59
roster, the defensive tackle position, like am I ever
43:01
going to be upset if they play zero snaps?
43:04
It's just never going to be upsetting if somebody
43:06
in that defensive talk room besides Chris Jones plays
43:08
zero snaps because nobody I think like has really
43:10
deserved a huge share of those of
43:12
the steps. Yeah. They, they
43:15
haven't, it earns the wrong word because
43:17
they clearly all these guys have earned
43:19
the, you know, snaps at the NFL
43:21
level here, but it's
43:23
not one of those things where you're
43:25
like, Oh, I prefer that guy over
43:28
that guy. It's a lot of personal
43:30
preference because the play isn't on the
43:32
field, much different from
43:34
DT two down to DT six
43:36
right now. Now that could change
43:38
in camp. It could change. We
43:40
could see this maybe elevate
43:42
beyond a Casconi's because you've
43:45
got an elite player in the room.
43:47
A guy that now for two years
43:49
in a row has played at an
43:51
all pro level, got paid at an
43:53
all pro level is probably going to
43:55
play at an all pro level again
43:57
this year. That is worth a loan.
44:00
We just gave one to the quarterback
44:02
there that is worth alone at least
44:04
at Casconi's because You that
44:06
room is going to live and die by Chris
44:08
Jones And I know that that's one
44:10
of those things that you look at and you're like man
44:12
I don't like the gamble on that I don't like the
44:14
gamble on that the reason you don't like the gamble on
44:16
that this year is because Chris is a little Bit older
44:19
Every single year that Chris has been
44:21
here. It's been like this. It's been
44:24
basically the interior defensive line It's
44:26
been him and
44:28
a bunch of guys that you could take
44:30
her leave Yes, they're not he's had some
44:32
peak years here. Mike vanell's has a really
44:34
good games Colin Saunders had a couple of
44:36
really good games as well. You've seen Turk
44:38
Wharton have some impact plays there But
44:40
it's not something that you're like, okay,
44:43
that's the guy next to Chris Jones That's the guy
44:46
that I feel comfortable spelling Chris Jones Snap
44:48
in snap out able to really line
44:50
up and affect the game Not
44:53
the way that Chris Jones is but even
44:55
at maybe even a league average level and
44:57
that's where my concern is That's why we
44:59
talked about defensive line so much
45:01
with this team during the draft Especially when
45:04
we got to you know The
45:06
the day three picks where all of a sudden
45:08
you're looking at the defensive line selections and you're
45:10
thinking There's a couple guys on here
45:12
that might actually break into DT to on this
45:14
team You could feel a little bit more comfortable
45:16
with some of them. They will pound in the
45:18
table a little bit for some of them I
45:21
like the guys that they picked I'm not
45:23
saying that they should have taken a defensive tackle
45:26
over somebody else But now we are in a
45:28
situation where the room is what it has been
45:31
Every single year for the past
45:33
spags ears here, you know every
45:35
single year It's been like this
45:38
and Chris Jones is getting older and you
45:40
don't want to burn them out early in
45:43
this brand new contract I
45:45
am looking for maybe another
45:47
free agent addition Maybe another guy that
45:49
they can add to the 90-man roster
45:52
just to try and push this group
45:54
a little bit here And
45:56
made the best one of these guys that they're just
45:58
taking Really? random wild shots
46:01
onto wind. That's what makes it.
46:04
Matty, real quick, sidebar.
46:08
If I called it Door
46:10
Dashed Cascades, is that
46:12
a good way of compa- like it's like
46:14
low tier Cascades where it's like it doesn't
46:16
just, it doesn't deliver as well. It's just
46:18
like it's, you know, it's a little bit,
46:21
it's a little warm. No. Like
46:23
it's better than my cheese analogy. I
46:27
can feel like, you know, more like it's the same thing I'm
46:29
going with, right? Like yeah, it's very good, but it could even
46:31
be better. It's in the lower end of the Cascades tier. I
46:33
agree with you 100%. I think Door Dashed
46:36
is a, is a much better and a much
46:38
more direct way to get to
46:40
it than saying Parmesan cheese is
46:42
overrated and doesn't enhance my Alfredo
46:44
dish. I
46:47
feel it. Yeah. Uh,
46:50
I don't even know, man. I don't
46:52
know. When I was looking for- sorry. I
46:55
was just saying Craig mentioned the point that, you
46:57
know, he wouldn't mind seeing somebody else added. What
46:59
kind of player would you think that
47:01
they would, what level of player needs to be
47:03
added for you to think that would either elevate
47:05
them to a Garrosos or if you're with Tint
47:07
and I to an upper tier Cascones. I
47:10
don't think it's ever going to get to a Garrosos because
47:12
I don't think you can't add a player that's going to
47:14
push it up to that tier. I just don't think so.
47:17
I'm honest with letting
47:20
this nose tackle group fight
47:22
it out. I don't need another nose tackle
47:25
unless he's a guy that's going to crush
47:27
the pocket a little bit more than some
47:29
of these other guys. I want another guy
47:31
to push Turk Wharton. Like I
47:33
love Turk coming off
47:35
of an injury. We've seen it kind
47:37
of dwindling over the past
47:39
couple of years. I
47:41
would like to see another guy for
47:44
Turk to have to beat out because right now he's the
47:46
only three tech that you trust behind Chris
47:48
Jones. Like the spot is his at this
47:51
point. Like you're not giving it to somebody
47:53
else. One of these other guys probably not
47:55
stepping in and beating Turk Wharton. So
47:57
I want another guy to at least have
47:59
Turk. win the job
48:01
outright win this backup three technique
48:04
job outright or push him
48:06
to the point where there's a tough decision to
48:08
be made there so it doesn't have to be
48:10
a starting level player not saying that Chris Jones
48:12
is there you want to play in
48:15
60% of the snaps ideally
48:17
not 90 so give
48:19
me another guy that I feel comfortable with those
48:21
40% of the snaps on the
48:23
field instead of Chris that can be
48:25
on the field more consistent the
48:27
way it's capable I
48:30
mean I would I would take a one-year stab
48:32
at it again it's that level of player if
48:34
turk warden beats him out cool you know yeah
48:36
good for Turk I'm trying to look through real
48:38
quick I was just looking through with some of
48:40
the freezians there's not there's not a lot of guys
48:42
out there with a little bit of pass rush like
48:44
juice at all there's a there's a handful of guys
48:46
that I think could come in and add to that
48:49
same one year rotational nose tackle spot
48:51
but I don't think they need more of those
48:53
guys I don't think there's anybody that's clearly an
48:55
improvement there so it's a matter of can you find somebody that
48:57
can offer you a little bit of juice instead of Turk
48:59
a better than Turk and Sheldon day
49:02
maybe but I don't think that he's kind of
49:04
hit a little bit of a flat line Kaleis
49:06
Campbell's older but he's the guy maybe you bring
49:08
in like a Ross Blacklock oh no he's a
49:11
restricted freezian so he doesn't even count I don't
49:13
see a lot of options yeah and
49:16
you know I I think Kirk warden
49:18
looked a little bit better as the season went on
49:20
like he looked he looked like he was
49:22
really struggling early in the year and I think he got
49:24
a little bit better as the season went on I think
49:26
the hope is probably that he makes
49:29
more progress farther removed from that injury
49:31
and if he gets closer to the
49:33
guy that we saw pre-injury then that'll
49:35
play a little bit like that guy
49:37
that guy will play a little bit
49:39
and and so like that's you know
49:41
probably one of the hopes and expectations for the
49:43
Chiefs is that Turk warden is gonna be a guy
49:46
that's gonna be able to step in and do a
49:48
little bit more than he did last year
49:50
which I remember that I would love that yeah
49:52
and it's not a bad bet I mean they
49:54
probably haven't they probably have a better good
49:56
a better pulse on you Know
49:59
where he's at, Then ably else
50:01
is going to. I mean they resign him back
50:03
for a reason. So. I. Think
50:05
that's hope right is that you know you can go
50:07
a bit more juice from turk work. As you read,
50:09
this room really does lack. Firepower.
50:12
Made. It's a lot of. Yell.
50:14
Run stuffer types and christians so
50:16
hopefully turret working kinda can step
50:18
that up aiding other defensive tackle
50:20
before we get outta humanity. The
50:22
else. bring did as roaches
50:24
that. Oh now than half
50:26
of the that again earth is is
50:28
either fun to his you for that's
50:30
what our vision for dirt. On
50:33
just scroll and others who are trying to find
50:35
anybody out there that like and like that's the
50:37
problem that like I don't think this is a
50:39
position the you can probably out at this point
50:41
maybe comes you first, something shake loose and you
50:43
can bring in a back to that position right?
50:45
Massive right now glazing through here unless you're going
50:47
to go after Clay's cable which he was five
50:49
last year he was a very five above were
50:51
last year. I'm. Sure, he's got plenty of
50:54
offers. that guy at thirty eight years old or whatever.
50:56
Is like f I'm gonna go ahead of wait until
50:58
t a big we get halfway through a t up
51:00
especially for a hot summer team a dozen or come
51:02
back so. I. Don't know they would ever
51:04
be in the market for that level player. So ladies
51:06
about. The june comes out. I agree with you
51:08
know that das that the iraqi because he didn't
51:11
their undrafted. Free agent. I'm Celia. Love it. He's.
51:13
Another dose tackle tight for teammate. he does.
51:15
Hit the ground running a they really like him
51:17
and he works in there or Isaiah Bugs who
51:19
I think is a sneaky player to like get
51:21
stored or level reps. On the seem still more
51:24
nose tackle less those guys are still more
51:26
run suffers. You. Don't really have
51:28
a good. Spell. Play regarded
51:30
company. Give christians a breather. In.
51:32
Several mini use back and fully healthy and
51:34
delicious Rotating your decent that aims inside which
51:37
is fine. On. Third downs I don't
51:39
know if you want to put those guys in there
51:41
on first down with or is it see it's of
51:43
a run that the you really what turkey their on
51:45
of redoubt either So. I. Think that they
51:47
should add competition there if they can. I just don't know.
51:49
What's going to be available? The Aussies goes on. Calais.
51:53
As the becoming get his ring. says.
51:57
At that you were gonna have upon i really the
51:59
ivory shows that. with some kind of belay-us
52:01
level pun. And then
52:03
he just parmesan cheesed it. Yeah,
52:06
I thought, I think everything I've said
52:08
has been too cheesy already today. That's going to do
52:10
it for this episode of the KC Laboratory. Thank you
