He's really taken the time/effort to commit to getting his weight down.
Dude looks good. And its about time. I been one of his biggest critics and it's good to finally see this happen. He seriously looked like a slow overweight fat pos. Hopefully he's gained some quickness/speed due to the lbs he shed.
Hopefully this "new" looking Speaks can start to do some positive things on the field. He was a high pick, a pick the Chiefs traded up to get when he was really drafted out of position so it's really time for him to start living up to his selection, thats long overdue. Problem is now he's buried on the depth chart behind Clark, Okafor, Tanoh, possibly Taco who knows.
I still dunno what our scouts/FO at the time were thinking when selecting Speaks. I still even to this day don't think he could stand up in a 34 even with the weight he's lost. I mean at the time, we didn't know Sutton was gonna be canned and Spags was going to be hired implementing a 43 scheme so I guess in the long run it ended up ok considering he's going back to his orig position with hand in the ground. But it's time he starts putting it all together. [Reply]

I would enjoy it more if the camera stayed on the field and far away from Mitch and the new guy as much as possible. [Reply]
#Chiefs, #Cowboys, #Patriots...they are all working on a “pods” system of attendance. And I’ve been told it’s the system that appears to have most traction across the league for the teams that hope to include fan attendance. https://t.co/S9C1j3wsYS

Yes, and they're also split up by position groups in different areas. They're using their locker room and the visitor's locker room. [Reply]
