Your Chiefs Questions, Our Honest Answers: KCSN’s Fan-Fueled 21 Questions Show
Tucker Franklin and Cole DeRuse cut through the noise on the latest episode of 21 Questions
KC Sports Network’s 21 Questions delivered a wide-ranging, entertaining offseason conversation as Tucker Franklin welcomed Cole DeRuse from How ‘Bout Those Chiefs for a fan-driven Q&A pulled straight from the KCSN Discord.
The episode blended sharp Chiefs analysis with plenty of personality, starting with lighthearted questions before diving into real football substance. Cole pushed back on one of the loudest national narratives of the 2024 season: that Patrick Mahomes is part of the problem in Kansas City. Using both film-based observations and advanced metrics, he argued Mahomes remains elite, pointing instead to a nonexistent run game, inconsistent receiver production, and situational play-calling as the true culprits behind the Chiefs’ struggles.
A major portion of the discussion centered on the offensive line, another area Cole believes has been over-criticized. While acknowledging depth concerns—particularly at guard—he maintained the Chiefs already have their starters in place and don’t need the sweeping overhaul often suggested by national media.
The conversation also touched on defensive personnel, linebacker coverage limitations, cornerback development, and what roster decisions could shape the next phase of the Chiefs’ core.
Off the field, the show leaned into what makes 21 Questions unique: personality. From ranking the most disliked NFL head coaches, to debating shaving routines, to reminiscing about Madden and Friday Night Lights, the episode felt like a conversation among friends rather than a traditional interview.
The show wrapped with thoughts on potential coaching changes, stadium design ideas for the Chiefs’ future home, and Cole’s appreciation for the community KCSN has built. It was equal parts insight, humor, and offseason therapy—exactly what Chiefs fans are looking for right now.
