Brianna AldridgeHOST
Mm
Christy ScalesPANELIST
... uh, Emari Demercado, who they had, uh, just, uh, claimed off waivers from the Cardinals, and then Hunter Luepke.
Christy ScalesPANELIST
Okay? And, uh, uh, Abanikanda, it, it was gonna be a either/or thing-
Brianna AldridgeHOST
Mm-hmm
Jeff TraylorGUEST
Uh, we've ha- and then we've, now we've got Robert and Will last year, and we had, and we had Brandon High and Robert Henry.
Jeff TraylorGUEST
Now Brandon High is back with Emari and Peterson.
Jeff TraylorGUEST
We, we've had us a nice stable of running backs since we've been here, but these are three really good ones.
AJ HoffmanHOST
Coach, you're a, a, you know a lot more about football than I do, but I was, I was a little bit mad at you at the end of the, uh, at the end of the first half when it was a, a, at the time it was a 14 to 7 game and, and you guys got down, it was fourth and 12.
Ryan Scott HallGUEST
Because I think that Ken Walker and I think that Emmitt Johnson, I even really like some of what we have seen from Brashard Smith, and there are packages of plays for him where he can be an effective weapon on this offense.
Ryan Scott HallGUEST
And honestly, I think the bad news that I take from what I want there is that when they cut Demercado and he got claimed, right? I can't remember where he went.
Ryan Scott HallGUEST
Somewhere else.
Ryan Scott HallGUEST
Dallas.
Ryan Scott HallGUEST
Dallas, right? I frankly thought they should have kept Demercado just to be able to have all those bodies.
Ryan Scott HallGUEST
He's got his skill set of being a great pass protector, but he's also an explosive player.
Ryan Scott HallGUEST
I mean, don't get me wrong.
Bryan BroaddusHOST
And if all of a sudden Davis proves that he is a super valuable special teams player, it'll probably take reps away from him being the second back.
Bryan BroaddusHOST
And then this is where DeMercado can step up because he's played in a lot of games.
Bryan BroaddusHOST
He's been that guy.
Bryan BroaddusHOST
So to me, I could see...
Bryan BroaddusHOST
Yeah.
Bryan BroaddusHOST
So I could see where – but I just need to see what he is able to do.
Bryan BroaddusHOST
This running back group can clearly elevate if, in fact, that he comes in here and you see Davis playing high on special teams and you see DeMercado running the ball effectively, catching the football, blocking, and then to go along with Williams.
Bryan BroaddusHOST
But I think it's going to be more sooner than later.
Ben GrechHOST
clogging it up, but that's what the Chiefs always do is they have these guys clog things up.
Ben GrechHOST
I thought they were going to keep Demercado.
Ben GrechHOST
The fact that they did not is extremely bullish, in my opinion, and now Demercado is on another team.
Ben GrechHOST
It's not like he's on waivers on the practice squad or some way that they could go acquire him if Ken Walker got hurt.
Ben GrechHOST
I mean, I think if Ken Walker got hurt, they would acquire another running back, but I think Emma Johnson would have the path now.
speaker_6HOST
It was like, okay, they both deserve to make the team.
speaker_6HOST
We said that many times, and we got the breaking news from Lando during Why Today Doesn't Suck that after they put a claim in for DeMercado, the running back, they're going to have to make a move.
speaker_6HOST
And we assumed it would be a corner.
speaker_6HOST
Yeah, Kalen Carson probably.
Shawn SiegeleHOST
Yeah, Kyle Pitts is dead to us.
Ben GretchHOST
The Demercado thing, I'm closing windows and I see they paid him $550,000 as dead money.
Ben GretchHOST
They gave him a half mil signing bonus to cut him.
Ben GretchHOST
I mean, it's a surprise, surprise cut.
Soren PetroHOST
One of those guys will probably be elevated and may or may not play well.
Soren PetroHOST
But for me, DeMercado is the only one that jumps at me.
Soren PetroHOST
Other things in the roster that I think are of note.
Soren PetroHOST
I guess Legereus Sneed just doesn't need to practice.
7 MINS LATER
Soren PetroHOST
As he should.
Soren PetroHOST
So, look, I don't have any major surprises.
Soren PetroHOST
DeMercado surprises me a little bit.
Soren PetroHOST
Harris surprises me the most, maybe a little bit more, but I don't see where there's any major mistakes made by this team.
Mike TaylorHOST
And I'm going to need to see him have another great season.
Mike TaylorHOST
But just in case, DeMarcato, who's a decent running back.
Mike TaylorHOST
He's got NFL experience.
Mike TaylorHOST
He's got more than Malik Davis, actually, as far as being active and playing in games and stuff.
Ari TemkinHOST
Don't worry about having to make big plays.
Ari TemkinHOST
And Demercado, it's like he can play special teams.
Ari TemkinHOST
We know exactly what he's going to do.
Ari TemkinHOST
He's going to follow blocks like he's a patient runner.
