Summary
In the latest episode, Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks react to the Chiefs and George Karlaftis agreeing to a four-year, $93 million contract extension. That leads DJ to introduce a new acronym, MCFA: Make Chiefs Fun Again, as the guys break how dominance in the backfield is crucial for becoming more vertical and explosive
Then, they discuss Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell’s decision to dedicate one-on-one time with J.J. McCarthy during his rookie season working through a torn meniscus, and why having a trusted mentor or sounding board is critical for a young quarterback’s growth.
Finally, they reveal the two teams they expect to be the focus of conversation throughout training camp, and why the spotlight won’t be leaving them anytime soon.
