00:00i was over on some you know the the standard chiefs sites gold right peruse the the chiefs
00:06message boards not you're you're in i wasn't i didn't know i didn't know cody was the message
00:10i didn't know cody was the message board i wasn't i wasn't deep in the message boards this was
00:14surface level no i can't get deep deep in the message boards is when they start talking about
00:18justin ross is the best wide receiver on the team and he deserves yes yes that is what you would
00:22find i can't get deep in the message i think the message boards where cody gets his ideas for his
00:27songs and things like that i think i think that's where the ghost writers are i can't get i can't
00:31get
00:31deep in the message boards um but i saw it was an article and it was discussing the possibility of
00:38like the running game and we understand who the chiefs current running backs are but the argument
00:41being made was that the one missing element still is short yardage and that the person to solve that
00:46problem is not shocking kareem hunt and i thought to myself for a minute are we doing that again
00:51no are we are we are we all do we does anybody think kareem hunt needs to be back in
00:55the action
00:56or de mercado and emma johnson and uh you know the running backs they have in place ken walker
01:03enough to do why we have a running back at ken walker a guy who had explosive runs and was
01:08okay
01:08in short yardage and i get it they were bad in short yardage for a number of years in kansas
01:12city
01:12especially pre pre kareem hunt in fairness i don't need kareem hunt back he just gets in the way
01:18you know like he's 30 or whatever like i i thought we had put that to bed the second ken
01:25walker
01:25was signed let alone when they you know drafted a running back in the later rounds and brought in
01:31de mercado and still have brashard smith are you in need of a short yardage game gold no no and
01:36cream onto his credit was was effective you know the last year or two he's great but that was also
01:42a circumstance given the running back situation the room and where pacheco was at and where the
01:46run scheme was at i think this is you know you got eric b enemy back as your offensive coordinator
01:51you have a different running back coach now it is time to move on let cream on help somebody else
01:55if you think you still have something in the tank good for him let him go do their that somewhere
01:59else i have no interest to bring back cream hunt again i think that ship has sailed when you signed
02:04ken walker when you drafted him at johnson as well and you said you even have marie de mercado there
02:09not that he's great but you have enough guys you have enough guys that can fill the void there you
02:13i
02:13mean you're gonna you're gonna take a roster spot and and snaps and and whether someone's active on
02:18game day for a cream hunt at 31 years old i i don't i don't believe that though if it's
02:23third
02:23and one is just ken walker emma johnson ken walker maybe emma johnson but i think it should be emma
02:27johnson he forced 68 missed tackles which like college football i believe last year he averaged
02:31three yards after contact he he he is kareem hunt but will they let a rookie be hunt will they
02:37let a
02:38rookie this is i this is the only argument i guess for kareem obviously you and i are both uh
02:42anti the
02:43signing so we can establish that is that would they let a rookie be the third and one back i
02:51don't
02:51know why you like it if he i don't know history i like i get your argument drew of why
02:56not but i'm
02:57just telling you do i think the chiefs would actually do it they should then what why are you
03:03in all honesty if they bring kareem hunt back why did you use your fourth round pick on a running
03:08back then they should have drafted a wide receiver oh this is why i would not this is but this
03:12is also
03:12why i wouldn't bring back kareem hunt i don't i don't think they need someone correct someone
03:15says kareem hunt are we ungratefully led the nfl this is the problem i feel sometimes with like
03:19we're all guilty of grateful of with we're guilty of this as fans or whatever just because it worked
03:24for a year or two doesn't like you don't have to just keep running the same thing back as if
03:29like
03:29that's the only opportunity to do it why would why would you just continue to be willing to bring
03:36back somebody over and over until it doesn't work like you have to get ahead of it and so the
03:40chiefs
03:41have to and i think they did based on how they allocated resources at the running back spot
03:44you have to get ahead of the problem they were actually behind in the running back room overall
03:48yeah kareem hunt was effective but in general their running game and running back room has been behind
03:53in the nfl for years it just has and so bringing back kareem hunt until what you bring him back
03:58and
03:58then then he's then he just doesn't have it anymore and then you're you're like okay shrug your shoulders
04:02and move on i just i think you you just pivot you got everything out of kareem hunt good for
04:06him
04:07good for you move on now in fairness in short yardage running success rate last year ken walker
04:13was in the top 15 so it's not like he was bad at that now he only had 12 goal
04:18line carries the
04:19reason why i guess for charbonnet came in so like yeah and so like what is their plan in short
04:25yardage
04:25it's never been travis kelsey what's their plan for short yardage in the goal line is it just to
04:29get ken walker the ball is it really to use a rookie is it to use the tight ends more
04:33i don't actually
04:34what i'm paying with what they're paying ken walker he needs to get the damn football on the
04:37goal line too he didn't he's making he's making 14 point whatever million dollars a year if it's if
04:43it's first and goal and they're choosing not to pass the football with patrick mahomes and it's at
04:47the two yard line my priority at least early in the season i want to see him prove to me
04:50he can't do it
04:51it needs to be kenneth walker yeah i i don't disagree that like i'm not paying him 14 million dollars
04:56to
04:56give it to the fourth round pick every single time inside the five i don't care if they score like
05:00i mean
05:00that is part of it but like i don't disagree with you i feel like he has to get the
05:04first
05:04opportunity to do it i've just never seen him since kareem hunt just turn over the most important
05:10situations to a running back because goal line i will say red zone and goal line has been a problem
05:16for them even with kareem hunt that has consistently been an issue for their offense over the last couple
05:21years hell it might be the single biggest reason why the points don't match up with every other part
05:25of their success rate they get as many first ounces of good offenses they go they go as many
05:29yards per drive is the good offenses they convert third downs as good as anybody in the nfl like that
05:36that hasn't been the issue the last couple of years it's when they get inside the damn 20 they can't
05:40score
05:40and i guess that's the one part of the the ken walker signing that at least makes it interesting is
05:45that wasn't always his role for the seahawks it wasn't not his role it's not that he didn't score at
05:52all but he wasn't he wasn't inside the 10 guy and so like i am curious to see like gold
05:58you might be
05:58right that like on paper it should be he's the starting running back he's making 14 million
06:02dollars a year he gets the opportunity to prove to me he cannot be effective inside the goal line
06:07but i'm curious if that's their plan that's all yeah because it wasn't seattle's plan the entire
06:11time i am curious if it's kenneth walker wasn't making that kind of money in seattle either he
06:15wasn't he was still on a rookie deal first round picks i mean he was still highly coveted or thought
06:18yeah but he was ultimately i don't think people will care as long as like what you said cody if
06:22they
06:22score who cares it doesn't matter how much money you're paying kenneth walker if they score and they
06:26and they win games but gold's right it should be him first and then we'll figure it out from there
06:29chance yeah him and johnson can have some short yardage i don't need to bring the cream hunt to
06:33make sure i won't care in november if it's working but this conversation in may we're saying who
06:37should be doing it yeah i'm i'm not gonna choose the 31 year old veteran running back over the guy
06:43that they're paying to be a top five back in football more than fair more than justin fields hey
06:48you're gonna run out of wildcat i am still fascinated to see what does andy have up his sleeve
06:54with justin fields on a package or two meanwhile the interest in college sports continues as i think
07:01the bill the one of the the bills that they had in place uh you know to look at for
07:07college sports
07:08and the way they pay athletes is being pulled off the floor score act i think yeah score acts being
07:11pulled at least at the moment but i saw far more interesting quotes from maybe starting texas tech
07:17quarterback brendan soresby who we know has been suspended because he bet on himself while
07:24actively being a college athlete and is now suing the ncaa to allow him eligibility from this year
07:32he's requesting uh injunction from a judge who i saw a photo of today with the texas tech mascot
07:39guns up he's an alum i believe which is this has been happening in all the court cases with the
07:44they find a favorable judge a lot of bells in this one is part of the interesting part did you
07:49see
07:49some of the quotes from this some of the excuses he's giving these are real these are not fake
07:53this was a quote from brendan soresby in his affidavit in the court document quote i rationalized
08:00placing those bets as a way to feel more connected to my team to root for my friends and to
08:04feel like
08:04i had a real stake in the games that i otherwise was not involved in he later added because the
08:09indiana
08:09football team was not a very strong competitor in 2022 i lost most of the bets i placed anyway
08:13that's your own fault what does that have to do with you placing them you know what cody what i
08:18feel worse for me if you want them guys i i want to feel connected to the team that i
08:22also root for
08:23as well you know so that you know that's that's the way that it comes across and then this party
08:26embarrassing instead of exercising compassion the ncaa has responded with silence repeated
08:31information demands and delay you bet on the sport hey man brendan bad news man the integrity of the
08:38sport is the single thing they have to care about the most and you're like and they're taking too long
08:42and they keep demanding that i like what give them information about how you bet on the sport
08:46and i hope that he gets the help he needed but he checked into treatment for this so it again
08:51it
08:51wasn't like the ncaa is doing him dirty by by this or anyway he was he was in way too
08:57deep with this
08:58and he also broke ncaa rules that i think if they if they allow him to play it's it causes
09:04a
09:05massive amount of problems yeah a massive amount of problems certainly should not allow him to play
09:10but we have seen these courts have not been favorable toward the ncaa when it comes to
09:16eligibility type of cases now this is different than just for medical reasons the celtics yeah
09:23the yes i mean that that's already technically happened but yeah that's a problem too but that
09:27but the the courts have been ruling in favor of the the player when it comes to eligibility this is
09:32an
09:32eligibility question as well now this involves gambling so maybe the judge will view it differently but
09:36yeah it's basically it's a hail mary attempt by brendan soresby and his he hired some very high
09:42profile attorney that has had success uh you know in cases similar to this at least in terms of
09:47eligibility cases the only having an affidavit does not help him i will say anyway i don't know how it
09:51does all of this makes him sound like an idiot and i don't i don't feel bad for the situation
09:55he
09:55clearly put himself in it stinks that he has an addiction yes and i hope that he gets the help
09:59that
09:59he needs he did a lot of this to himself and then the excuse making in this is very poor
10:04and does not reflect on him very well the only thing i'll say for him is asking for an expedited
10:10ruling is not crazy if you're going to sue because he has to decide whether or not to enter the
10:16supplemental nfl draft by a certain date do we know that that's actually happening but there is a
10:23deadline in his thing there's a deadline for when he would have to submit for that so he's asking for
10:28a ruling by that time so we can make a decision on texas tech june 22nd is the deadline to
10:33apply
10:34if you're you know to be eligible for the supplemental draft which is in like a month
10:38after that in july yes so like if he wants to make that argument i'll hear it but just being
10:43like they're not being very nice to me they just keep like taking their time and demanding
10:47to my teammates get and i wanted to root for my teammates you don't root for them by betting on
10:53them honestly so we're rooting them all we did so bad in this i'm defending the ncaa you know how
10:58much i hate that institution like i'm defending the ncaa do you realize how poorly you had to do
11:03in your court filing for me to be on their side yeah pretty bad
11:08you
11:08you
11:08you
