Everyone who works here is awesome. It's been a great staff. Shooting baskets, trying to hit the – they've got this really tall basket. It took me like – 15 shots to finally drop one. Did you hit one? I never did make one.

75.51 - 77.472 Todd Lebo

I've been very busy doing the show.

77.492 - 80.235 Curtis Seabolt

I've been doing the show. This is while you were talking to somebody.

80.275 - 100.943 Todd Lebo

Yeah, we were having fun doing things. But we're having a good time out here. Like I said, you've got about an hour to get here. We've got a great prize pack if you want to come sign up for that.

101.003 - 114.585 Todd Lebo

Or down here, if you're coming from the Northland, get down here and have some fun. It is time to tell you what you need to know. Number one thing you need to know is the Kansas Jayhawks won their first regional game ever at home. They played Northeastern. They won 6-3. We had Brian Haney on just a little bit ago.

Chapter 2: What updates did the Chiefs defenders share during the Need to Know segment?

256.864 - 260.73 Todd Lebo

The Royals are on the road tonight. They had a roster move today, Curtis.

0

261.351 - 282.237 Curtis Seabolt

Yes, they put Nick Mears, right-handed pitcher, has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28th, which was yesterday, right shoulder impingement. They have recalled right-handed pitcher Eric Sarantola from AAA Omaha and hoping that he doesn't pick up where he left off in some difficult outings.

0

282.377 - 303.128 Curtis Seabolt

One of them where he was just like, you're going to just stay out there and get your brains beaten for a while, kid. You're taking this one. And he did, so he's back. The lineup that was out earlier today, people may have noticed some changes at the top. Lane Thomas moved into the leadoff spot. Bobby Witt Jr. hitting second. Mikel Garcia dropped down to three. Sal Perez at four.

0

303.548 - 318.29 Curtis Seabolt

Starling Marte at five. Vinny Pasquantino down to six. Nick Lofton hitting seventh. Jack Caglione, eight. Kyle Isbell, ninth, against a left-handed pitcher. going tonight for the McKenzie Gore, going for the Rangers.

0

318.451 - 324.96 Todd Lebo

Good news, Stephen Kolek's going for the Royals, and he's been really, really good. They won't need much if he's as good as he was last time.

324.98 - 326.001 Curtis Seabolt

Probably not. Just one. Probably not.

326.021 - 337.777 Todd Lebo

Because he actually threw a complete game shutout, which is a rarity of all rarities, right? So we'll see if the Royals can get something going there against the Rangers tonight. A little OTA action yesterday for the Chiefs. We played a lot of sound yesterday when Jack was in.

337.797 - 348.152 Todd Lebo

We didn't get to play all of the defensive sound because it happened a little bit later in the day because of just the way the whole thing worked out. So let's play a little bit of that for you now because you can't ever talk enough Chiefs.

348.673 - 363.353 Todd Lebo

How about George Karloftis, who's just had his contract reworked to redo the signing bonus to help the team out financially, but he's the only guy in that 2022 draft who got re-signed. He was asked what he's been working on this last offseason.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Chiefs' recent draft picks?

1724.496 - 1737.231 Pete Sweeney

But you give Taequann Thornton, when he signs to the Chiefs practice squad, and you give him all of the off-the-field issues that Rasheed Rice has, he's probably never playing in the league again. And so...

0

1737.565 - 1762.171 Pete Sweeney

Yeah, I mean, that is one of the hard truths about the league that we cover is that the better player you are, and make no mistake, the Chiefs think Rasheed Rice can be one of the top five wide receivers in the NFL. I mean, that is how they feel internally about him. There's going to be a longer leash, and I get some of the fan criticism and to an extent disgust of wanting to see this guy go.

0

1762.892 - 1784.861 Pete Sweeney

But the hard truth, again, in this league that we cover is if Rasheed Rice went, you released him, much like Kareem Hunt, when he won the rushing title and you released him, he's going to get picked up almost immediately. And so you have to, I think, sometimes swallow that, make a business decision if you want to be one of the better teams in the NFL.

0

1784.881 - 1790.151 Pete Sweeney

And I don't blame you for feeling one way or another about it. I'm just talking about the realities of what this league is.

0

1790.468 - 1809.338 Curtis Seabolt

You know, over the years, we've gotten used to seeing these graphs, these charts that, you know, the four corners type thing, four quadrants. And the Chiefs logo, when it's good, particularly if it's Patrick Mahomes, is upper right, which is kind of where you want to be. There's one that came out this past week where the Chiefs are in the lower right, which...

1809.318 - 1827.797 Curtis Seabolt

Usually, you don't want to be lower left and this one I think you don't want to be in the lower right and I'll explain why. It is a graph of play action rate versus RPO rate and the Chiefs are almost all by themselves in the lower right hand corner which means a lot of RPOs and not many play actions and why I think that's problematic is I looked at the rest of the teams.

1828.618 - 1851.702 Curtis Seabolt

The top 10 in points scored last year averaged about 3.3% RPO. The Chiefs, who finished 21st in points, were 11%, more than three times as much. The top 10 in points scored last year averaged about 26% play action. The Chiefs, again, who finished 21st, were just over 16%. I mean, if they want this offense to improve, this should probably change, right?

1853.163 - 1868.756 Pete Sweeney

Yeah, it has to. And you've heard me say this before. When it really feels like the Chiefs are ticking and the offense – Pass and run is playing well. You look down in the third or fourth quarter, and they have at least 12 to 16 rushes.

1869.558 - 1892.439 Pete Sweeney

And part of the problem with running an RPO first offense, which she's had for so many years, is a lot of times Mahomes wants to throw the football, and he feels like he sees an opening, and he pulls. And so I got to imagine when you go and sign Ken Walker, who makes his money by running on our center, that they want to introduce some of those elements back into the offense.

Chapter 4: How did Pete Sweeney describe the Chiefs' recent practices?

2642.686 - 2657.544 Todd Lebo

You can go watch Oklahoma and Michigan up there this September. Park on the golf course. Come on. That's what they do up there. Well, if you want to invite me, Todd. Well, I was hoping for the invite from you because I don't have a plan to go yet. My buddy Zane is definitely going. I've been to the big house before, but it's September. We'll see. We'll see. All right.

2657.604 - 2664.732 Todd Lebo

Final question here of the Final Four. How many games does Patrick Mahomes play in the regular season this year for the Chiefs?

0

2667.749 - 2675.377 Pete Sweeney

I think it's 17. I mean, I do. I'm not going to bet against him. Yesterday was out of control, so I'm going to say 17.

0

2675.678 - 2680.643 Todd Lebo

I was going to say 16. He plays in all of them, but he sets out the last one because he got the division one. How about that? Good work at that.

0

2680.843 - 2687.851 Pete Sweeney

You're always finding ways to get me, Todd. I think the AFC West is good enough where they're going to maybe need to play them all.

2687.871 - 2693.537 Todd Lebo

Might need to play them all. Pete, it's good to talk to you. I will see you. I heard you're bringing breakfast on Monday morning. Is that correct?

2694.209 - 2700.703 Pete Sweeney

Yeah, I got to figure out what to bring. I mean, it's a lot of different palates. I'm going to need some organic kale for Jake.

2700.763 - 2703.99 Todd Lebo

Jake's not eating. Just get eggs and stuff like that for Steven and me.

2704.051 - 2709.001 Pete Sweeney

Some oatmeal for Steven. Who knows what you eat? Probably a protein bar.
