March 25, 2026·1 hr 12 min·5 clips

Harms calls Leo Chenal “an animal” and says his defining trait is “relentless effort.”

1. Trap or Dive focuses on Washington's free-agent additions Leo Chenal and Charles Omenihu, plus a Chiefs perspective from Daniel Harms. 2. Host Molly Moll introduces Daniel Harms as a Bleacher Report Chiefs reporter and draft analyst, while AJ and Drayton frame the Commanders discussion. 3. The episode asks what Washington actually bought in Leo Chenal and Charles Omenihu, and whether those signings can change the defense. 4. Harms says Kansas City expected a retool after losing multiple defenders, including two cornerbacks who went to Los Angeles. 5. He ties that turnover to Andy Reid, Steve Spagnuolo, and Brett Veach reworking the roster and staff. 6. Harms says the Chiefs did not play enough of their drafted young defenders last season, including corner Noel Williams. 7. On Leo Chenal, Harms says Kansas City used him as a Sam linebacker, a sub defensive end, and a down lineman in some packages. 8. He says Chenal was strong against the run because offensive linemen could not move him and he could set an edge. 9. Harms points to specific plays against Mark Andrews and Amon-Ra St. Brown as evidence that Chenal has coverage upside too. 10. He says Washington may try Chenal at middle linebacker, but that the first job may still be a Sam or sub-linebacker role. 11. Harms calls Chenal's top trait “relentless effort” and says he is an “animal” in the box. 12. He says Chenal can stand up against double teams, maul guards and centers, and bring a high motor on every snap. 13. Harms says Chenal could be a surprise impact player if Washington lets him trigger downhill and see plays unfold in front of him. 14. He compares that potential usage to Zach Bond's role in Philadelphia under Vic Fangio. 15. On Charles Omenihu, Harms says he is a mix of power and length with enough speed-to-power to rush from multiple alignments. 16. He says Omenihu can play inside at three-tech or outside on the edge, but injuries have reduced some of his bend and explosiveness. 17. Harms describes the Chiefs' defensive philosophy as asking versatile players to do exactly what is needed in the moment. 18. He says Kansas City's pass rush and secondary are connected, because coverage time helps players like Omenihu and Chenal make plays. 19. Fans who follow Commanders defense and Chiefs personnel will get the most from this conversation. 20. Listeners wanting broad NFL gossip without scheme detail can probably skip it.
