  Hey there, everybody, it's Jeff. Wanted to let you know. We
• 0:02
  recorded this podcast episode on Monday, March fourth, twenty twenty four. By
• 0:06

• 0:09
  you enjoy the show. All right, everybody, you're listening to Opposition Territory
• 0:39
  here at the Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show, the longest running weekly Philly sports
• 0:43
  podcast show in the world. That's right over ten and a half years strong.
• 0:47
  In April, we're coming up on eleven years, folks man. Nobody's
• 0:50
  been doing it longer here in the world of Philly sports. I am Jeff
• 0:53
  Warren. We got a great Opposition Territory podcast coming your way this week.
• 0:57
  I gotta tell you, it's intriguing to follow what the Super Bowl champions are
• 1:02
  gonna be doing during this off season. Free agency is right around the corner,
• 1:06
  The draft is around the corner. This team is a dynasty, Yes,
• 1:10
  the Kansas City Chiefs, I'm talking about, folks, A new dynasty
• 1:14
  is here in front of our faces. What are they gonna do to remain
• 1:18
  the top seed, the top team in the NFL. We are gonna get
• 1:23
  into a great discussion. So let's get to it and joining us from Arrowhead
• 1:26
  Pride, Yes, Arrowheadpride dot com. He is one of our favorites that
• 1:30
  we love to bring on our Opposition Territory podcast to get into this Kansas City
• 1:34
  Chiefs team the off season how they can and perhaps will remain dominant within the
• 1:42
  NFL. We've got the one and only Ron copp Junior. Ron Buddy,
• 1:46
  How you doing, man? Thanks for jumping on, Jeff, Thanks for
• 1:49
  having me, Man. I feel like I'm jumping in on a pretty you
• 1:53
  know, busy time for y'all. You know, the Jasey Kelsey retirement drop
• 1:56
  today. I don't know when this is dropping, but it'll be tomorrow.
• 2:00
  Yeah. Hey, you know there's Chiefs connections there, so maybe it does
• 2:02
  make sense. You know, absolutely it all fits together. Yeah. Absolutely.
• 2:06
  Well, look, you guys are riding high right now. You're riding
• 2:08
  high because I mean, of course, Chiefs coming off a Super Bowl and
• 2:14
  you know, just coming off a season where there was a little trepidation some
• 2:17
  questions being asked with regard to the Chief's team about how they were going to
• 2:23
  perform when we saw that they were underperforming in certain points of the season.
• 2:28
  So at the end of the day, they win the Super Bowl, they
• 2:30
  certainly can be called the dynasty at this point in time. We had the
• 2:35
  Patriots for years, and now Andy Reid has taken this Kansas City Chiefs team
• 2:40
  to that next level, to that echelon ron. So I wanted to get
• 2:45
  into, like from or I should say, aside from a pure jubilation standpoint
• 2:50
  of where Chiefs Nation is right now, what are the vibes moving forward with
• 2:54
  the Chiefs as they approached this offseason knowing that the pressure is now on for
• 3:00
  this organization, knowing that they want to continue with this dynasty. So what
• 3:04
  are the vibes here at this point. It's it's energy. I really do
• 3:07
  think it's it's everyone's kind of there's like this new boost. You know.
• 3:10
  I think sometimes after a long season, you know, football can be a
• 3:14
  long season, and it's like, man, you know you need a little
• 3:15
  break after you know, after twenty games and you know you need a little
• 3:20
  maybe content break or you know, break from your social media apps. But
• 3:23
  no, I mean it's just been full go since they won the Super Bowl.
• 3:28
  Because there is a chance at history, right the three peat has never
• 3:30
  been done in NFL history, and we haven't even seen it be attempted since
• 3:35
  the Patriots and O five before before you know, this whole passing era,
• 3:38
  before this whole even social media era. It's just so foreign to us that
• 3:42
  a team is on the doorstep of getting to a three peat. And I
• 3:46
  think we all are kind of feeling you kind of put like pressure right,
• 3:49
  like right, it is pressure, but it's but it's this it's it's this
• 3:52
  fun challenge that it's like, Okay, how are they going to do it?
• 3:53
  You know, how can they piece together this three peat team? You
• 3:57
  know, are they going to you know, go heavy on offense to kind
• 4:00
  of overcompensate, or you know, hey, are they gonna say, look
• 4:01
  what worked last year work? You know, hey, are they gonna get
• 4:04
  Chris Jones l Jerious need back find a way to do that and go.
• 4:08
  So there's a lot of different avenues, but it's just exciting. I think
• 4:11
  we're all just and I think the team's feeling it too. I mean,
• 4:13
  Mahomes mentioned three peat right after the game on the podium. He did,
• 4:15
  I think I think the team is an andy. I mean, I think
• 4:18
  they're all just. I think they kind of see the challenge ahead of him.
• 4:21
  I think we all do, and it's kind of an exciting, just
• 4:25
  kind of a fun offseason, just kind of seeing what they're gonna do,
• 4:27
  how much they're going to attack the chance for a repeat. You mentioned Patrick
• 4:30
  Mahomes, You mentioned how he talked about the potential three peat, you know,
• 4:34
  on the podium after winning the Super Bowl. He is undoubtedly, as
• 4:40
  we know, one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game, and barring
• 4:45
  any long term injury, I mean, he's gonna be in this league.
• 4:47
  He's gonna be with this Kansas City Chiefs team for a little while longer,
• 4:50
  breaking records and certainly putting his face on that Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks. Ron
• 4:58
  He's certainly not a perfect quarter back by any stretch, and we saw a
• 5:00
  bit of that this season. However, again being able to win the Super
• 5:04
  Bowl, the perseverance is quite remarkable. So after seeing some of that up
• 5:10
  and down play from him this past season, where does he need to focus
• 5:14
  his attention on his game this coming year? And again for a quarterback that's
• 5:19
  getting ready to be on that Mount Rushmore, Maybe hard to say what he
• 5:24
  needs to hone in on in terms of his game, but where does he
• 5:27
  need to focus his attention given some of those ups and downs he had this
• 5:30
  year. Well, it plays into the improvements they need to make in the
• 5:34
  passing game in general. They need guys that are going to be difference makers
• 5:39
  down the field, and just last year they truly just did not. You
• 5:42
  know, I saw MBS get open those two times, and I know we'll
• 5:46
  talk about him, but we are no. This deep passing game for the
• 5:48
  Chiefs has been non existent for since, you know, not even since Tyreek
• 5:53
  left before that, you know, Tyreek's last season, that twenty twenty one
• 5:57
  season was the last time we really saw these similar struggles, and so I
• 6:00
  really really like to see them, you know, give him the ability to
• 6:03
  improve his downfield passing ability, because I do think the thing with it,
• 6:08
  Jeff about you know, you kind of hear Mahomes and we have the big
• 6:11
  arm. We all know he has a huge arm. He can throw at
• 6:13
  seventy whatever yards. But I think he doesn't get tested or he doesn't he
• 6:17
  has been so you know, accustomed or so trained to you know, get
• 6:21
  good at the intermediate the short stuff. I don't know how much he trains
• 6:25
  his deep accuracy anymore. And I do think it's something we kind of talk
• 6:29
  about it almost it's almost a joke, but it's kind of serious where I
• 6:31
  don't know how accurate he is down the field, you know, when he
• 6:33
  is throwing super deep bombs. I think there's a lot of times you do
• 6:36
  see him, you know, really hesitate to just let it loose and let
• 6:41
  a guy to get under it. It might be because of the chemistry he's
• 6:43
  had with receivers, you know, the lack of lack of or just the
• 6:46
  talent you know again, you know, I think they could improve that this
• 6:49
  offseason. But all about to say is like I think that is the one
• 6:53
  part of his game that I think he could really improve on as being,
• 6:56
  you know, a more accurate down the field thrower. I'm talking, you
• 6:59
  know, twenty thirty yards down the field in tight windows. You know,
• 7:01
  we've seen him make those throws. I'm not saying he hasn't, but I
• 7:04
  think I think there's something too. It hasn't. It doesn't come in volumes
• 7:08
  like it may should. It maybe should if you're Patrick Mahomes. I think
• 7:13
  that's very interesting because I cannot tell you how many times we saw that Chiefs
• 7:16
  team on national television, and I gotta tell you Ron time and time again.
• 7:21
  I was thinking to myself, how is it that they're not getting the
• 7:24
  ball down the field further perhaps thirty yards forty yards taking those shots on first
• 7:29
  and ten? How and why is it not happening. Yes, they have
• 7:32
  a prolific running game with Isaiah Pacheco in the back backfield. We're gonna get
• 7:36
  to that in a little bit. And then I'm like, Okay, not
• 7:40
  the strongest receiving corps. Rachie Rice very very good receiver, good in terms
• 7:45
  of his intermediate route running, for sure, But I was thinking to myself
• 7:48
  a lot, how in the world are they not going down the field again
• 7:53
  forty yards on first and ten. It was pretty remarkable to see. And
• 7:57
  then we see whether it's mvs and that we see some dropped passes here or
• 8:01
  there, or just some inaccuracies. I think it's fascinating that you mentioned that,
• 8:05
  and how it may all coordinate or correlate, I should say together,
• 8:09
  because you know, I remember last year when you were on the show with
• 8:11
  us, we talked about how the Chiefs wide receiver corps was a bit weak
• 8:15
  and what you wanted to see from them, you know, this past season
• 8:18
  here and even though it was a you know, quote week unit on the
• 8:22
  team. I'm wondering, how do you assess their productivity this past year and
• 8:26
  really what needs to happen with the unit in the future. Keeping in mind,
• 8:31
  you know, they did release Marcus Valdez Scantling. We've got the news
• 8:33
  about that, of course, but correlating what you were just talking about with
• 8:37
  Patrick Mahomes and this receiver corps, what really needs to happen with this receiver
• 8:41
  corp. I'm assuming there's gonna be some acquisitions and free agency, perhaps the
• 8:46
  draft. What are your thoughts here? Yeah, the funny thing going into
• 8:50
  twenty twenty four is that the receiving corps is all under contract, Like they
• 8:54
  really didn't have to make any moves if they didn't want to. You know,
• 8:56
  MVS Canarius, Tony justin Austin sky Moore, you know, McCole Harbin's
• 9:03
  really the only one that was gone from the the core receiving at the end
• 9:07
  of the year. So it's funny, like, you know, a lot
• 9:09
  of us are are ready for a complete turnover. They don't really have to
• 9:13
  do it now they are going to MVS is gone. I imagine you'll see
• 9:16
  Tony cut at some point, even though he has three million guaranteed. I
• 9:20
  just feel like he's too unreliable the season. He actually did kind of get
• 9:22
  benched towards the end of the season. He called it an injury, but
• 9:26
  it really was. You know, he wasn't around the team as much anymore.
• 9:30
  I think they were just kind of over the unreliability, the inconsistencies.
• 9:33
  So that gives them some room to shake it up this offseason and give them,
• 9:37
  you know, a chance to make a huge addition, because the thing
• 9:39
  with mvs Jeff is that he wasn't making He wasn't making a lot of production
• 9:46
  last year, right in terms of the stats catches, but he was running
• 9:48
  a lot of routes and he was running a lot of snaps, and they
• 9:52
  can fill that that who you know, who he was as a as a
• 9:56
  player in the offense with a better player, and that could all of a
• 9:58
  sudden be guy that's that's you know, catching for fifteen hundred yards or you
• 10:01
  know, you know that's probably a little high, but you know something in
• 10:05
  the thousand yard range where you can put a legit number one receiver in that
• 10:09
  spot instead of someone that's maybe you know, MBS is a role player.
• 10:11
  He's proven that. He proved that in Kansas City, and so I'm excited
• 10:13
  to see who they're going to attack Hi that way because I think you have
• 10:16
  a draft class at the top this year, very strong at the receiver position.
• 10:20
  I think you'll see Brett Viach be aggressive in that sense. But you
• 10:24
  also have some guys in free agency too. I think Calvin Ridley, you
• 10:26
  know, from the Jaguars, someone I'm intrigued with. That could be.
• 10:31
  You know, I was intrigued with Mike Evans, but we heard that he
• 10:33
  is going back to Tampa. Unfortunately, I was ready to use the get
• 10:37
  the the Tom Brady Randy Moss comparisons for the Mike Evans Patrick Mahomes you know,
• 10:41
  when when that happened, that linked up, I was ready for that.
• 10:45
  But Michael Pittman, I think we'd be fantastic honestly on the chief see
• 10:48
  like Michael Pittman, I think would be a fantastic addition based on route running
• 10:52
  and based on where Patrick Mahomes is with his game right now. A lot
• 10:54
  of those intermediate routes we were talking about earlier that the Chiefs have been really
• 10:58
  imploring a lot within the I think Michael pittm would be fantastic in that regard,
• 11:03
  right. I just think a number one receiver of any kind, just
• 11:05
  someone that that's going to give them, you know, a difference making ability.
• 11:09
  I would like to see them be aggressive in that sense, whether that
• 11:13
  is through the draft of free agency. But at the same time, you
• 11:16
  know there is other other roles to fill in the receiving course. So I
• 11:18
  think you could see double dip, whether it is you know, a big
• 11:22
  time free agent and then you know a pretty high pick in the draft,
• 11:24
  or maybe even two high picks in the draft, or you know, maybe
• 11:28
  a high pick in the draft and a value free agent. The Chiefs are
• 11:31
  going to double dip. I imagine a receiver and I imagine you're going to
• 11:33
  see guys that are again someone that's gonna win on the perimeter on the outside,
• 11:37
  but also guys are gonna win downfield. I think they really need to
• 11:39
  unlock that ability because, like you mentioned Rashi Rice and obviously Travis Kelcey,
• 11:43
  those guys are gonna win at the intermediate routes. You need guys that are
• 11:48
  gonna give them even more space by winning deep. Absolutely, again, folks,
• 11:52
  we're talking to Ron cop Junior. Follow him on Twitter at Ron underscore
• 11:54
  cop Kopp. He is a fantastic follow to get all your Chiefs news and
• 12:01
  lots of little tidbits here and there throughout Chiefs Nation and the NFL in general.
• 12:05
  He's a great, great follow And again Arrowhead Pride dot Com. You
• 12:09
  know we love our SB Nation sites. And as we're moving along here,
• 12:13
  I'm wondering how the Chiefs run should or could potentially bolster the running back position
• 12:18
  this coming season, if that's even in their plans. I mean, Isaiah
• 12:22
  Pacheco, He's been a really nice running back for this team. He's that
• 12:26
  number one starter for them for sure, But the Chiefs offense doesn't. They
• 12:30
  don't appear to have that dual threat running back Jerrick McKinnon didn't necessarily, I
• 12:35
  think, really fit that mold to too well with the team. Maybe they
• 12:37
  didn't use him as much just in terms of what I saw in terms of
• 12:41
  the eye test throughout this season. What are your thoughts on what they should
• 12:46
  or shouldn't do with the running back position this particular offseason. No, I
• 12:52
  think it's definitely more of a need than I think on the surface. You
• 12:54
  know, most people would look at it and be like, oh, yeah,
• 12:56
  they got Pachecko. They have a lead back and he's rowing into the
• 13:00
  position. But you know, this Chiefs team has always used multiple running backs
• 13:03
  and you saw it with Jarack McKinnon last year. Not this year, right,
• 13:07
  but last year he had all those touchdowns you know, in the stretches
• 13:11
  in that stretch down the season, like nine touchdowns in the red zone or
• 13:13
  something. I mean, they absolutely have a role for a kind of a
• 13:16
  pass down back, because that's the other thing with Pacheco. You know,
• 13:20
  he is an inconsistent pass blocker. There are times where he can he'll body
• 13:24
  a guy and really show his aggressiveness like he does as a runner, but
• 13:28
  that kind of you know, that kind of aggressiveness at the same time can
• 13:31
  be inconsistent and lead to maybe a whiff and then and then Mahomes is in
• 13:33
  trouble. That's happened at times. So they absolutely need someone to compliment him.
• 13:39
  And that's where, you know, going back to the receiver talk,
• 13:41
  Jeff like, it's not just the receivers that you could see get a shake
• 13:46
  up. It's really just the entire skill position group for the Chiefs. I
• 13:48
  think you could see them maybe even attack another tight end to fit with Kelsey,
• 13:52
  but also this running back position. I really do think you could see
• 13:54
  them get you know, maybe a legit name and free agency. You know,
• 13:58
  these running backs don't cost too much to get and even some of these
• 14:03
  running backs, you know, may even be okay with our right one year
• 14:05
  prove it deal. You know, I just want to get to a really,
• 14:07
  really good team and be the star of the show, like a DeAndre
• 14:09
  Swift. You know, he was on the Eagles last Year's somebody's going to
• 14:13
  bring up with you Yeah, yeah, you know he's he's probably looking for
• 14:16
  a little pay day if he can get it, because he definitely showed out
• 14:18
  for Philly right he was. He was definitely a guy that, you know,
• 14:20
  compared to what he was in that Detroit I think his value has gone
• 14:22
  up since that time. But at the same time, you know, could
• 14:26
  he just say, you know, could someone like that or you know something
• 14:28
  you know, Saquon Barkley, I know he's probably gonna want to get paid
• 14:31
  too. But there's guys and and in the draft as well. So I
• 14:35
  do think you're right that the Chiefs do need to attack specifically a guy that
• 14:37
  can be a pass catcher, be a pass protector as well, but but
• 14:43
  maybe multiple guys too. I think you could see them maybe get a couple
• 14:46
  of guys, you know, if it's a draft pick and a value free
• 14:48
  agent, but there will definitely be guys complimenting Pacheco and maybe even eating into
• 14:52
  snaps next year at the running running back position. I find it absolutely enthralling
• 14:56
  and just completely u I'm enamored by the fact that a Super Bowl team could
• 15:01
  be looking at bolstering the skill positions like we're talking about here, and I
• 15:05
  had a feeling our conversation may actually go in that direction, and it's just
• 15:09
  it's it's astounding, but in a in a positive way. It shows how
• 15:16
  good the coaching staff is. It shows how good the front office has been
• 15:20
  in terms of decision making over the past few years. It goes to show
• 15:24
  that the right decisions are being made for this organization. And it's it's absolutely
• 15:30
  entrolling to actually think about for this coming season, the fact that the Kansas
• 15:33
  City Chiefs may be looking to get more skill position players because it may be
• 15:39
  something of need. But on the opposite side of the ball, move over
• 15:41
  to the defense here, I mean there's definitely gonna be some areas the front
• 15:46
  office is going to need to focus on during this offseason. So I'm wondering,
• 15:48
  Ron, like, what are your top that say, top two areas
• 15:52
  of need when it comes to really addressing this Chief's defense in the future,
• 15:56
  whether it's through free agency the draft. I mean, what are your thoughts
• 15:58
  here? No, I think it all starts upfront and the trenches for the
• 16:03
  Chiefs. If you look at their depth chart next year. As of right
• 16:07
  now, they have one defensive tackle under contract, and it's Mike Panell who
• 16:11
  or not, excuse me, not Mike Panell, Neil fail, Neil Ferrell.
• 16:14
  Mike Panell is the vet Super Bowl hero. Neil Ferrell is the young
• 16:18
  buck Neil nose tackle from a few years ago the Raiders drafted and so nobody.
• 16:23
  He played sixty snaps for US this year. So you're talking about a
• 16:26
  defensive tackle room that really needs Chris Jones back. Yes, And if that
• 16:30
  deal doesn't get done, you're talking about you need a nose tackle, you
• 16:33
  need a three tech penetrator, you need depth at both of those positions.
• 16:37
  I mean you're talking about, you know, multiple multiple ads. So I
• 16:40
  think I really think defensive tackle is the main need for the Chiefs defense this
• 16:44
  year, even if they do get Chris Jones back, because they will need
• 16:45
  a starting nose tackle. You know, all their guys are are are are
• 16:49
  leaving in free agency, and there are some you know, interesting free agent
• 16:53
  names you know out there, like a Greg Gaines, you know, is
• 16:57
  a good nose tackle out there for free agents. But all that to say
• 17:00
  is it's that position. But then you just go outside and it's the defensive
• 17:04
  end position too, as crazy as it is to say, because they have
• 17:07
  spent their last two first round picks on the defensive end position George Carloftis and
• 17:11
  Felix and Udique Ozama Charles Amenehu towards ACL and the AFC Championship, and that
• 17:18
  really is going to set him back in terms of, you know, you're
• 17:21
  not really going to expect him to take the field maybe until the start of
• 17:25
  next season, and that's being optimistic. And so when you think about it
• 17:29
  like that, this team really does just have Carl Offtis and then last year's
• 17:33
  first round pick, who you know, is a developmental project to me in
• 17:36
  my opinion, and so this team really just needs to add to the trenches.
• 17:40
  You know, I really do want to see a Chris Jones deal get
• 17:41
  done. It sounds like we're getting towards that. It sounds like a lugerious
• 17:45
  need trade might happen and a Chris Jones deal is going to get done,
• 17:48
  and then you may see them kind of add around Chris Jones on in the
• 17:52
  trenches. But but yeah, I don't be surprised if if you know,
• 17:55
  we're all talking about roide receiver for the Chiefs in round one and all of
• 17:57
  a sudden, the Chiefs pick this buyer Murphy kid from Texas who looks like
• 18:00
  a freaking stud yep, or just one of these guys you know from the
• 18:04
  defensive tackle room at the top, or even make a move to get him,
• 18:08
  because I really think the Chiefs understand how important it is to win the
• 18:11
  trenches. And again, if they don't get the Chris Jones deal done,
• 18:15
  they're really going to have to do a lot of work up front to be
• 18:18
  to have a competent line next year. So I really think it all starts
• 18:22
  up front in the trenches. Their secondary as young they're back in his very
• 18:26
  young talented I think they can kind of, you know, sit on what
• 18:29
  they got there and really focus on the front, the front four. Really,
• 18:32
  I think they need to do that, not just for next season,
• 18:33
  but even the season after too. I mean, they really need to start
• 18:37
  getting some depth, quite frankly, and I could see this being a very
• 18:41
  heavy defensive draft for the Kansas City Chiefs for sure. So as we close
• 18:47
  out our discussion here, Ron, I got to ask you, because you
• 18:51
  know, it was one of those, you know, hot storylines. You
• 18:53
  know, this past week when the NFL Players Association they came out with their
• 18:57
  report cards for each team, and I'm going through and I'm reading through every
• 19:02
  one of them, and it was surprising to me how the Chiefs were graded
• 19:06
  just so poorly in certain areas. I couldn't believe it, Like the player's
• 19:11
  major concerns with like the lack of renovations at the at facilities and whether it's
• 19:17
  the locker room, I mean family, treatment and nutrition were graded really really
• 19:22
  poorly. I think like D and F or somewhere around there. The training
• 19:26
  staff received in F grade. And I'm thinking, this is a Super Bowl
• 19:30
  champion, this is a dynasty here. What is going on? How do
• 19:33
  you what do you make of these grades? Really? What are you making
• 19:36
  these grades in this entire exercise with the NFL Players Association report cards? I
• 19:41
  kind of think it's ridiculous. Every now and again, I think there's some
• 19:45
  legitimacy in terms of storylines that you hear about during the course of the season
• 19:48
  with certain teams and how their facilities kind of stink here and there. But
• 19:52
  I don't know what are your thoughts here with these report cards and with the
• 19:56
  chiefs grades here. Yeah they are. They were shocking, but not as
• 20:00
  as much because last year the first time they did it right. The year
• 20:03
  before, we were almost just as bad, I think, But I think
• 20:07
  it was worse this year. And really the worst one was the THO was
• 20:11
  Clark Khant getting the F minus tied with just one other owner for the worst
• 20:15
  grade given to an owner. And you know, I think the funny part
• 20:19
  about it was that it came out as he was holding a press conference announcing
• 20:23
  these renovations to Arahead because we're having a whole thing here where our baseball stadium's
• 20:27
  move in, so Ara had been expanding and and he's kind of it just
• 20:32
  it just happened to come out as soon as he was giving his own public
• 20:34
  address so it wasn't the greatest timing for him. It's it's been a battle
• 20:37
  for Clark. But uh, but it's really because the scoop here is that
• 20:41
  the Chiefs were promised after when when in the Super Bowl last year, the
• 20:45
  players were promised an upgraded practice facility in terms of the locker room, not
• 20:49
  the game locker room. The game locker room has been upgraded, but but
• 20:52
  you know, they don't spend their time there. They spend their time in
• 20:53
  the practice you know, where their practice facility is, and uh was not
• 20:57
  upgraded. In fact, the only think they got were seatback chairs instead of
• 21:02
  stools. Was was the kind of the famous line that's been going around here
• 21:06
  is that that was what you know, they were promised a new thing,
• 21:08
  and when they got there, that's the only thing that was you know,
• 21:14
  yeah, hey, right, they're they're they're helping something. But no,
• 21:17
  I I think it's it's interesting because I I'll give you a little scoop here
• 21:21
  too that, uh my, I have a buddy who's a practice squad player
• 21:25
  for the Chiefs. He was he was with them for the entire Super Bowl
• 21:26
  run, and I kind of asked him about these two. It was like,
• 21:30
  what do you make of this? And he was he was like,
• 21:33
  we don't even have a nutritionist on staff. The Chiefs have have no nutritionists.
• 21:37
  And he actually, I know because he was in Jacksonville on their practice
• 21:41
  squad beforehand and they had four nutritionists on staff. And he was like,
• 21:47
  he was like, yeah, I I couldn't believe it either, But I
• 21:49
  guess that just this is kind of what speaks to maybe some of the stuff
• 21:52
  with Clark Hunn is that he might not invest into the team as much as
• 21:56
  as maybe we realized. And you know, it has you know, these
• 21:59
  kind of things are good to get public because it might spur some change.
• 22:02
  It might you know, spur Clark to you know, put a little more
• 22:04
  money into the facilities, especially when you know, hey, I'm a season
• 22:07
  ticket holder, I know how much the tickets are going up. I think
• 22:11
  he can. I think I think they're doing just fine so they can iron
• 22:15
  an eighty thousand dollars nutritionists or something. Yes, I know, I know.
• 22:18
  I that was shocking. You know, you just think it was just
• 22:21
  they were just bad, But apparently they just have none and that's why it
• 22:23
  was great at death. So yeah, so I think I think you'll hopefully
• 22:29
  you'll see that improved next year, because I there's no way Clark can you
• 22:32
  know, it's it's an ego thing, right, there's no way he's gonna
• 22:34
  want that to be an F minus next year. Again. Yeah, absolutely,
• 22:38
  all right, Well again, folks. Ron Coop from Arrowhead Pride dot
• 22:41
  com follow my Twitter slash x ron underscore cop Kopp is a great, great
• 22:48
  follow, my friend. It is always great talking to you, Always great
• 22:51
  talking about this Chiefs team, and I'd love to have you on at some
• 22:53
  point down the road. Talk more NFL, talk more Chiefs, my friend.
• 22:57
  Yes, sir, yeah, you know, Chiefs and Eagles, I
• 23:00
  mean two of the Ugh, let's talk about teams. We got plenty to
• 23:03
  talk about around here, so yeah, let's do it, Jeff, thanks
• 23:06
  for having me. It really is astonishing to me how terrible those grades were
• 23:11
  for the Kansas City Chiefs. I mean, Andy Reid got an A.
• 23:14
  I think he was like the only only like A grade that the NFL Players
• 23:18
  Association folks that were doing those grades for the Chiefs like, I think that
• 23:22
  was the only A grade. I mean, it goes to show the type
• 23:25
  of culture Andy Reid has been able to implement out in Kansas City, and
• 23:30
  we know that better than anybody else in the Eagles Nation, how how great
• 23:33
  of a coach he is, and what he has meant to the NFL.
• 23:37
  So I guess that's not a surprise at all. But it was great talking
• 23:41
  to Ron, and we're certainly gonna follow what this Kansas City Chiefs team is
• 23:44
  gonna be doing during the offseason. Again, like I said, I can't
