You just don't like to do it. It's usually never a good situation. That's a fact. A lot of the stuff that goes down with plumbers and plumbing... It's kind of a crappy deal. But when you call Steve and his guys, they come over and they make everything very, very simple, very easy. They're great people and they take care of all the crap that you don't want to take care of. Wow.
It's great when they get there because you know it's going to be solved. It's going to be solved. Yeah. And you don't have to deal with all that. You know what? And that's a good thing to do. So, yeah, Steve's a good buddy of mine, good people, and I appreciate that he jumped on board with us here.
Yeah, they are great. Because I'm going to tell you, just in talking with the staff, you realize right away, like, there's no question you can ask that they're not immediately answering and telling you the reason why and showing you the reason why. I took him back and showed, hey, this is the water heater that I was told that needs to be replaced by some other folks. And then I've told the story.
The guy's on the phone calling back, and the guy on the phone doesn't realize that he's on speaker and goes, why aren't you trying to sell him a new water heater? Wow. Really? That's awesome. That's why I called you. And the guy just looked at me like, oh, and started trying to turn the speakerphone off. Awkward. And so that was one of the first things I did when we did.

Chapter 2: What insights does Tim Grunhardt share about the Chiefs' draft class?
But what you do want to do, and guys, I agree with you. Listen, I'm the old school guy.
Chapter 3: How does Tim evaluate the Chiefs' draft performance?
I like sacks. Derek Thomas, Neil Smith, give me those guys. Give me those sacks. Give me playmakers on the defensive side. Give me sacks. But...
With pressure and with showing pressure, and that's one of the things that Spaggs does such a good job of, and it always goes back to what I talk about time after time in the NFL, and that's getting people to overthink, and overthinking causes hesitation. Hesitation causes mistakes. Pressure causes mistakes. Pressures cause turnovers. Pressures cause interceptions.
you know, getting guys off the field. So I agree with you guys wholeheartedly. I love the sack. I want to see sacks. And I'm not making excuses for the Chiefs not sacking the quarterback. But in this day and age, it's not just the Chiefs. Pressure, if you talk about pressure rate, it's even in college now, pressure rate.
Pressure rate is a stat that defensive coordinators, and believe it or not, offensive coordinators are looking at how many times do they pressure the quarterback. And it's not like it used to be.
We would have, and we'd walk in the offensive line room on a Wednesday morning, our offensive line coach, whether it was Howard Mudd, Alex Gibbs, Mike Solari, Art Schell, they'd put up the guys, and what they'd put up next to them, how many sacks they have. Not how many pressures they have, how many sacks they have. So I'm with you guys on that.
But the way that these guys think now, Spaggs and other defense coordinators, is about how do we pressure the quarterback? How do we get the quarterback to get off his spot and make a mistake? And that's kind of where I was going with that.
I'm looking at Dallas' numbers last year. The two highest defenses in pressure percentage were Dallas at 31.2, Denver at 30.5.

Chapter 4: What are the strengths and weaknesses of the drafted players?
Denver had 68 sacks, Dallas had 35. You might be able to make an argument that they didn't have almost half as few, barely more than half the sacks Denver had, but they had the same amount of pressures. There'd be something to come out of that. But the Chiefs were 16th in the league last year in pressure percentage as well. They're not getting a lot of pressure either.
Well, 16th is middle of the pack. Yeah, middle of the pack, but if they were higher, you could understand because they're not getting a lot of sacks, but they're getting pressures. They weren't even getting that many pressures, and they were 26th in sacks.
I can tell you that the eye test in watching them rush the quarterback, I mean, first of all, when you said 16th, I'm like, wow, that's better than I thought. Yeah, me too. I would have guessed lower, and I think, you know, We've seen the defenses lately.
The defenses that have dominated the Chiefs, dominated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, their two Super Bowl blowout losses, have come at the hands of teams that got to the quarterback with four. And they can't do it. I mean, the Derek Notties and the Mike Pinnells, that time has come and gone. And so I do think that, listen, they were sixth in points and tenth in...
Yards allowed, is that right, defensively? I want to double-check that because I want to quote that correctly.
Go ahead.
Well, the point to that is... Yes, yes. Sixth in points, tenth in yards.
Okay. And I think that this draft is fitting into what...
your theory is and what your fact is you're going to bring out here because with candy and delane i think they could cover a little bit better than let's hope i mean that that's the idea is we're bringing in what they can cover better than mcduffie and i i don't know i mean let's we'll see but bringing in woods and thomas and with jones and with uh um uh carloftis

Chapter 5: How does the Chiefs' defensive strategy impact their draft choices?
He's like, all right, listen, this sucks, but we're going to be closed for four days during spring break. Tell everybody. So get your catering order in now, people.
Thank me later. Go ahead. I'm going to let you go ahead because I did want to ask you a question. But I don't want to get away from where you're going. So just go ahead.
Well, so you were talking about the defense and C-SPAC NOLA standing up for guys. Yeah. So have we noticed what's going on in the draft?
Chapter 6: What role does pressure play in the Chiefs' defensive schemes?
Like I do get that the salary cap is heavily weighted to the offensive side of the ball, but that is a lot on the Patrick Mahomes contract that makes it heavily weighted there. But do you know that if you take picks 120 and above since 2022, so basically a whole draft cycle, what do you think the just 120 and up, All right, so the top ends. That's third down starting into the fourth round.
What do you suppose the breakdown is, offensive players versus defensive players drafted? It's got to be heavily, heavily offensive leaning. Heavily offensive leaning? Is it? I don't know. Is that your guess? That's my guess. 13 defense, 6 offense.
Oh, are you talking about the Chiefs? Yes. I thought you were talking about the whole draft.
No, the Chiefs. The Chiefs. 13 defense, 6 offense. I mean, if we're just taking top 120s. This year, corner, D-tackle, D-end, corner. Last year, O-line, D-tackle, D-end, corner. 24, wide-out O-line, tight end. Or wide-out O-line, 2-0 offense on that year. 23, D-end, wide-out O-line, DB. 22, corner, D-end, wide-out, safety, linebacker. And then after that, corner tackle, DB.
Seems like the defensive guys turn over quicker here. Like, you know, once they're done with their rookie contract, they kind of bolt out of here. Well, I think it's becauseā What do you think?
I think you're right. Chris Jones is the one guy that theyāthey re-signed Chris Jones. Who's on second contracts? Chris Jones, Nick Bolton. Is Karloftis on the second contract? Karloftis is, yeah. I mean, he hadn't started the extension, but they've signed him to the second contract. Right, right. They gave another deal.
They had a one-year deal to Drew Tranquil, and they added a couple more years to that. So kind of he fits that bill. But everybody else, I mean, they brought Mike Pinnell back. They brought Derek Nottie back on one-year deals. So I don't really consider that. But you talk about a real contract where like, hey, we had to give this guy real money to keep him from going anywhere.
Those are the only ones. Now, Chris Jones carries a massive number. I mean, a number that's ā his number this year is bigger than Patrick Mahomes' number is because of the rework of Patrick Mahomes' deal. But, you know, I think from the standpoint of, like, okay, I lost some guys. Well, I mean, you're going to lose some guys four years from now, too. Yep.
I mean, it's going to be the same. Look at the starters next year. I mean, really, other than Noah Williams, maybe I guess Shamari Conner. Everybody else is new. Define new. Karloff, Chris Jones. No, no. I'm sorry. Starters in the secondary. I'm sorry. Oh, in the secondary. Okay. Yeah. I'm sorry.
