Well Chris was in his hammock,
not just a three-day weekend a four-day weekend although it
wasn't a weekend. Yesterday he earned his money by sweating
his ass off in Cincinnati.
What happened on Friday and this was a weekend thing,
Friday night. I still don't know why they drop this podcast
on a Friday podcast 101, drop it on a day. When people are
actually going to listen to it and talk about it's going to
reverberate more than it
did. Ty retail had some strong comments about
why he left the Chiefs. Let's start there, there were two
It really stood out the Tyree kill debut episode of it needed
to be said, he had Drew Rosenhaus on his guests Julius
Collins. His longtime lawyer was his co-host and Chris. It
became clear. I don't know if you've listened to it, it
became clear.
It was more than just a cold business, transaction
Tyreke. It was upset
with the extent to which he was getting the football last year.
It started week to against the Ravens when he had four targets
and three catches complaining about it all year,
never took it public. But privately he was wearing out
the Chiefs and that was the thing. And he'll said it, that
was the thing. That drove the wedge between him and the team.
Yeah, well,
I mean, again, I understand they do with really great
receivers they want the football a lot, you know. And
I just think with Kansas City a little bit,
they got a creative offense, they do a lot of different
things and they try to get Tyree killed the ball, but if
it's like, okay the defense is going to show favoritism to him
and always play to him.
They'll continue to use them.
As a discount too.
But I mean, again, he's still as we see, they're one of
the most targeted receivers in all of football. There's no doubt.
So
I don't think he has,
you know, I don't think you can be too angry. I don't,
it's the style of play they played and of course he's
the number one weapon in the sport or as far as like dangerous
down the field wide receiver
and you've been tearing everybody up and football for
the last four years with a quarterback, that's one of
the best down the field. Rowers in the sport and people caught on
to them a little bit and I think that's more or less what
happened last year.
There's just all of that kind of came to a head and less to
led to a, a few less catches and touches maybe than in years
past.
Yeah, and and look, still talking about what 111
receptions last year, right, right. He had a huge year.
I really think I said this yesterday when Mi Simmons and
I were talking about it, I think all year long. He's seeing
the numbers at Cooper cops, probably he's chasing Calvin
Johnson. Sin for all-time records in Hills thinking
That Should Be Me.
That Should Be Me
get the ball in my hands and you know it's very easy for
a receiver to convince himself
that the more I get the ball the more likely we are to win
Odell Beckham jr. Kind of went through that in Cleveland,
you get you get me the ball and we win
and you're not getting the ball and we're not winning. So it's
kind of proving the point backward, get me the ball. If
we want to win, I'm convinced
I want to win, right? I want the team to win.
I can help us win, right? Get me the ball and the chief still
turned it around and they they, you know, they
got to the AFC Championship game and they they went to
overtime. Yeah they should have beaten the Bengals. He should
have been back to the Superbowl again but
but what happened was
the foundation for the dysfunction was laid during
the season one week at a time. And I really do think to the extent
that he was complaining all year long to the Chiefs that
made them more inclined. To say,
we save our money,
we get five. We don't have to deal with a guy who is crossing
over into diva territory. Sure. So
if we give him, if we give him
25 26, 27 million a year, and he's already being a pain in
our ass about not getting the ball enough. Is he going to get
better? Or is he going to get worse? Yeah,
and I know that I know of teams that said we're out, we're not
interested because they heard enough about what went on last
year. Did they didn't want any part of Hill because I think
when somebody is already showing those Tendencies,
if you pay them Twenty-seven. Twenty-eight Thirty million
a year. Whatever. The real details aren't, it's really not
30 million a year.
They're not going to get better. No, it's only going to
get. If you're already showing Diva Tendencies, you make that
guy, 10 highest paid players in the NFL
and his position.
It's only going to get worse, not better. No, no doubt,
you know. And then the first it on a year, like I mean, we're
showing here on the bottom of the screen,
you know? I mean career-high in receptions career-high and
targets and so that's like a little hard to get behind that.
Let alone we're at a point in his career to where
we see receivers like that you lose a step and do I think
Tyree killed maybe to a degree loss of step is he is fast as
he was three or four years ago? No, I think it was the first
year in a while where
we can go away from season and go wait. We know, Tyree kills
the man. He's still maybe, you know, he's in the conversation
for the most dangerous weapons in the sport but it is
the first year we've had in a while here where we've gone.
Well I don't know is Jamar Chase more explosive than he
is. Is Debo Samuel. More explosive, he's got some some
rivals or some competitors in that conversation now is to
the point you're making here. So where I can understand that,
let alone,
let me throw this into,
he's not the most gifted route runner in the world. He's not
known to be able to do some of the underneath stuff. And let
me just remind everybody to why we're on. This conversation is
when he does some of the other night and underneath stuff,
how many interceptions that he caused from time
Patrick Mahomes last year?
I mean, how many times did he
have a ball at five or six or eight yards, in the ball? Went
off his hands and in the air and became an interception for
about your mom's. So that's not going to lend itself to
the offense going. You know, let's keep doing that stuff with
Tyreke, he's really good at
it. No, he's that's not one of his strong points, he's better.
Just go that way, go deep, go down that way. Deep, that's
what he does. And it's going to be hard to
get 150 receptions when you're that type of receiver.
And that's the Hallmark of good coaching shy, a guy away from
the things he doesn't do well. And accentuating the things he
thrives at, they're helping him there, making him look better
that way by not having continue to do things if he's having
any issues. So
it was more than just the reasons why Tyree kill and
the Chiefs are no longer together.
Tyree kill
was asked to compare Patrick Mahomes and to a tongue of
a low in miles. And I talked about this yesterday, the idea
of asking receivers to compare
their new quarterback, who isn't one of the all-time greats?
With their, former quarterback, who is one of the all-time
greats, is inherently unfair to everyone. It really is apples
and oranges, whether it's Derek Carr and Aaron Rodgers, whether
it's to Otunga bylaw,
and Patrick Mahomes.
And what Tyree kill said, is obviously arm strength goes to
Patrick my homes, but he actually said that to is more
accurate. Now, plenty of people react to that Chris by saying,
yeah, if you're only three
throwing three yard passes, it's easy to be
highly accurate. But
I see no benefit here to anyone because All this does is put
even more pressure on to
to have a great year and take full advantage Tyree kill and
be extremely accurate. Put the ball in the breadbasket right
in between the numbers for Tyree kill all the time. And if
you don't,
you're not cashing. The check that Tyree kill his written
with your name on it?
No, no, you're exactly right about that.
I think, you know, again I'm with you and the fact that
you're putting too much pressure
on to of I continuing to go down this conversation
that that to me is the biggest thing. You're putting a
Light on it even more here
as we go into it to where
again it's going to be like if to has some bad games and
doesn't, you know, have a good completion percentage. It's
going to get you know it's going to become a social media
thing that people are going to have fun with. It's just
going to add more pressure that way.
Now
to it is accurate. There's no doubt tyriq, Wills doing his
best to stick up for his quarterback and I respect that
too. It is accurate. That's what to a talks about. The most
is ball placement.
That's what I always hear. He's very into that and practice and
everything there. Well, that's what he's got to be good at
that. His arms, not going to get much stronger. He's not
going at all of a sudden, throw 100 mile-per-hour fastballs.
So that's got to be, you know, his bread-and-butter.
And, you know, Mahomes statistically through a lot of
short passes last year, Mike and had a lot of like yards
after catch out of the his stats.
But there's a difference there.
I mean, Mahomes is short passes are because we're looking for
a bomb here. We're looking for a bomb here and we're looking for
a bomb here,
and Buddy's 70 yards, deep. So now you have to throw it
underneath with Chilla and it's wait, we got 74 guys. Going
three yards down the field and we just hope you can hit one of
those and do that.
And there's a big difference there.
So I'm not ready to join. Tyree kill in the
to was more accurate than Patrick Mahomes conversation quite yet
and play this out.
You're right. They start playing the games.
If Tua isn't spectacular, there are no excuses. For to of this
year, Terron Armstead, is there to beef up, the offensive line,
they've added Chase Edmunds and Raheem most. It they've got
Tyree kill
to go along with Jaylin waddle.
They still have Mike. The sticky.
The offense is great. And if it's struggles, it's on to it.
And what's Tyreke going to say if he's not he's gonna be fun.
He's setting a bar for himself. Exactly.
Exactly. If he doesn't have a Cooper cup type year
in Miami where he's the guy now,
it was funny yesterday.
You know we talked about it coming out of this video.
Drew Rosenhaus. At one point
was basically drilling down
to the nub of the problem in
The city in Kansas City Mahomes is the guy
not Tyree kill in. Miami Tyreke is going to be the guy
and is Drew was saying that Tyreke interjected
and said no no no, no.
Well, wait a minute, I think Drew knows his clients pretty well.
Drew knows what they want.
He's had the conversations, talk to him all the time.
I think that's really the key now, Tyrese, the guy,
and if he's not getting it done, it can't be Tyrese fault.
It can't be. Tyrese, lost a step.
It can't be the balls going off at I reeks hands. It's got to
be somebody else. Else's fault, that's just human nature.
That's going to unfold before our very eyes if this doesn't
work. It's just
this is why coaches don't want guys to go
have their own podcasts
during the offseason because they talk and they talk and
they talk and they end up talking themselves into
a corner that is very difficult to get out of when the season
begins. No question. And the Miami Dolphins I think maybe
have more pressure on them than any other team in football.
It's up there.
It is when you really lay it out on the line. Wait.
Team was good going in the right direction. What you fired
the coach, what, what, whoa, the team, the roster is
phenomenal. Whoa, there's a lot of pressure on McDaniels,
I mean, McDaniel first year.
Whoa, bam. Hey, will you look like you have one of the best
teams in football? You better Play? Good O'Toole. Yeah, we
have invested top five pick. Oh we're going to make it all work
and do all that man. There's pressure on everybody in that
organization
throughout there really is. There's, there's going to be
a microscope. I'll on them about a number of the
offseason store. Three lines and things that are
kind of being set up by them themselves. And that's where
I think it's going to be interesting to see how it all
plays out. And the most pressure of all is onto a,
it's on to 100,000, get it done.
Next year, it's going to be two of the other quarterbacks we've
talked about a little bit or a lot today, Lamar Jackson
or Tom Brady. It's going to be the top destination. If you're
a veteran quarterback, right now, thinking this may be my
last year with my current team. Where do I want to go in 2023?
Miami. Miami. Me, no know.
