He didn't outright say anything negative about KC, in fact he was complimentary. But he didn't want to talk about how things ended. He also stressed several times that he was a left tackle. But he also said that no one in KC talked to him about switching to RT.
Kind of an interesting watch. He's really well-spoken, and obviously cares about his craft.

Good for you **ithead!! Just kiddin brother!!:-) [Reply]

And that father’s advice has driven his entire career. I’ve been a fan for 35 years and I can’t remember a time a Chiefs player was this short-sighted. [Reply]

Brother I’d eat a freaking cardboard box right now if there was some hot sauce on it or pasta in it.
But most of us hit a wall at a few points in our lives where we know that if we don’t do a serious reset we’re going to start a downhill slide that will be hard to pull out of. It’s happened to me a few times and that’s where I was about a month ago. Post Super Bowl win syndrome mixed with a couple weekends in Vegas. Last time I did this program I went from 203 to 178lbs while adding quite a bit of muscle, so I had to have lost 30-40lbs of fat. Which was shocking to me because I’m tall enough that I didn’t look completely gross at 203. Gone from 204 to 193, so far. Just now getting to the part where the weight started falling off last time, so fingers crossed. [Reply]

Thanks for the encouragement friend, I’m long, strong, and committed! Pictures of comfort food may send me into a frenzy, but my willpower is strong. Failure is not an option. [Reply]
One of the most uninspiring press conferences I've seen in quite some time. It's like Orlando seems shocked the Chiefs would so easily move on from him and he ends up in a lesser situation with Cincy. He basically took the first offer given after recognizing how badly he judged the open market for his services.
He goes from playing in front of the loudest stadium in the league, having just won the SB and protecting for the greatest QB, to getting a shit deal playing for the cheapest owner in sports and protecting home alone kid. A whole lotta suckage in this story. [Reply]
"Joe Burrow has a new bodyguard!" Proceeds to post nothing but highlights of OBJ runblocking. The only highlight they showed of him passblocking was shoving a guy and then standing there for the remainder of the play.
He’s not an athlete, he’s just an enormous human being. Which to the best of my knowledge he’s freely admitted. There’s a big difference.
You could tell by the first bit of tape you watched that showed Taylor’s kick step and the tape of him doing the four bag dummy drill that there’s no comparison between their athletic ability. [Reply]

I’m excited to see what Taylor can do. I think he’s the perfect fit and at the perfect time. [Reply]
