Speaker 1: Welcome in Commander's Family to the Command Center. Joint Practice,
Speaker 1: Commanders and Patriots preseason Preview edition.
Speaker 2: I have two monsters with me right here.
Speaker 1: We have the voice of the Washington Commanders, the voice
Speaker 1: of the Burgundy and go what are the best to
Speaker 1: do it?
Speaker 2: In that booth Brahm Winstin.
Speaker 1: Then, of course we got future Hall of Famer Washington
Speaker 1: legend Brian Mitchell.
Speaker 2: Fell us, How y'all feeling good man?
Speaker 3: How you doing?
Speaker 4: The title of the show is very long, very long.
Speaker 2: I got a lot.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say something, thought it was a whole paragraph.
Speaker 1: Good luck searching, got a lot for our producer. We
Speaker 1: gotta make sure we get everything for the se O.
Speaker 2: You know what to say. People click and hear y'all.
Speaker 4: I think you got that coverage, and we gotta make
Speaker 4: sure people hear.
Speaker 1: You because we have some important things to talk about.
Speaker 1: We're doing Come Mad Lives. Yes, you don't know what
Speaker 1: that is. We will explain that later on. We are
Speaker 1: playing this or that, But more importantly.
Speaker 3: This is.
Speaker 4: Using show ever created.
Speaker 2: About the Joint Practice and brand.
Speaker 1: That is perfect because that's how we are starting to
Speaker 1: talk about this joint practice and what you guys got
Speaker 1: from that Fella's first things first, our first joint practice
Speaker 1: here with this new look squad, how y'all film.
Speaker 5: So I was looking forward to this, you know, because
Speaker 5: I think, like these moments during the preseason, things are different,
Speaker 5: you know now where there's a lot less contact in
Speaker 5: practice that's been negotiated out in the collective bargaining agreement.
Speaker 5: There's a lot less days of practice. There's no longer
Speaker 5: these kind of two days. The contact is just lower.
Speaker 5: So I think you get a really good judge when
Speaker 5: you go out there and you do this, and it
Speaker 5: really it's one of the first times that you get
Speaker 5: to see full speed. Now, even in the joint practice
Speaker 5: today it was agreed upon no full tackling, so it
Speaker 5: still wasn't you know, football football for real, But it
Speaker 5: was the closest thing that we had to it in
Speaker 5: a controlled environment. And I think that these dates are
Speaker 5: becoming more and more and more important. I remember a
Speaker 5: year ago and we went up to do the Jets
Speaker 5: one and it poured and it just made the day
Speaker 5: kind of like a wash because the weather was so awful.
Speaker 5: It was perfect here today in Foxborough, and I think
Speaker 5: I learned a lot more about this team today than
Speaker 5: I had in the first couple of weeks camp.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I look forward too, because I want to see
Speaker 6: the players now go against other people. After about the
Speaker 6: third day of training camp, you know what the guy
Speaker 6: across he is doing from you is doing. Offensive players
Speaker 6: know what the defensive player is doing, and vice versa.
Speaker 6: Now you're going against guys where yeah, you probably looked
Speaker 6: at some film, but you haven't seen their tendencies all day.
Speaker 6: So you know, you have to go and focus on
Speaker 6: your fundamentals to try to figure things out and then
Speaker 6: learn them, you know.
Speaker 3: And then again when you get.
Speaker 6: Two different teams going against each other after seeing their
Speaker 6: teammates throughout the you know, the competition goes up a
Speaker 6: little bit, intensity goes up a little bit, and you
Speaker 6: want to see who reacts to this in a certain way.
Speaker 6: And I was impressed by the team, you know, I
Speaker 6: think a lot of guys went out there and basically
Speaker 6: showed that they mean business. Also, and I guess this
Speaker 6: listen as impressed as we were last year with Jaden Daiels.
Speaker 6: Dude impresses me every time he steps from the field.
Speaker 6: And he did the same thing.
Speaker 1: And of course it's not easy to impress us a rookie.
Speaker 1: But he did that, and we had a strong rookie
Speaker 1: class here today getting their force joint practice. B. When
Speaker 1: you think back to your days when you were rookie
Speaker 1: and having to do these type of things and having.
Speaker 3: To little fogging back then, how it wasn't too long ago.
Speaker 1: But when you think about having to get that first
Speaker 1: time playing against another team, getting to touch another team,
Speaker 1: how valuable was that for you to develop?
Speaker 6: It was very valuable because you know I said that
Speaker 6: with Mony Coleman telling me about how you can't give
Speaker 6: off certain tendencies and then we will always go against
Speaker 6: the Steelers. They had Greg Laud and Green and all
Speaker 6: those guys linebackers. So now I'm going one on one
Speaker 6: against them. And I think after like the third time
Speaker 6: I went Greg Lawy, I said, look, dull, you show
Speaker 6: me where you're going, and just having veteran players from
Speaker 6: the other team helping me out, and it made me
Speaker 6: realize you have to pick your intensity up, you have
Speaker 6: to make sure you did things to fool them.
Speaker 3: So I learned quickly.
Speaker 6: At a young age against those guys with my own teammates,
Speaker 6: that you can't give off tendencies so yes, we watch
Speaker 6: film on the other team. You got to watch film
Speaker 6: on yourself, so you figure out what you're giving people
Speaker 6: a lot of time. Hell, we helped the other team out,
Speaker 6: you know, we come out there. I met told someone earlier,
Speaker 6: I used to always look at where I was going
Speaker 6: right before the balls. Nat and Ernest Miner caught onto
Speaker 6: that and I had to stop doing that. So I
Speaker 6: got into the move and looking around, looking away from
Speaker 6: where I was going, looking up. Sometimes I look at
Speaker 6: it so to make you not understand that I was
Speaker 6: giving off of a little signal which.
Speaker 1: I did early on and brand being somebody that's been
Speaker 1: around for a long time and seeing what this team's
Speaker 1: been able to do. And then you come here today
Speaker 1: and see this coaching staff on that field getting loud.
Speaker 1: Guys are out there early. Man, that's got to bring
Speaker 1: some pride to you as somebody that's been a diehard fan.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Like the it was extremely competitive and really chippy.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 5: I'm not surprised with a Quinn team, you know, who's
Speaker 5: going to be ferocious, and a Rabel team similarly, their
Speaker 5: coach got into a fight today. Like that happened today,
Speaker 5: but that was shocking. He jumped into a pile to
Speaker 5: try to break people up. Both coaches talked about this beforehand,
Speaker 5: that there was not the goal to have something like
Speaker 5: that happen, But I think you're seeing the aggression came
Speaker 5: out today. I think both teams have been waiting for
Speaker 5: something like this to happen, and they both are actually
Speaker 5: on the same page both coaches. I listened to Mike
Speaker 5: Rabel two before the practice where they both said the
Speaker 5: exact same thing about what this week is now, which
Speaker 5: is I think they see it similarly. It's a total
Speaker 5: evaluation over a three day period that includes a practice
Speaker 5: that is going to be a lot more important for
Speaker 5: the starters or the projected starters, and a game that
Speaker 5: is to help them figure out. I think probably a
Speaker 5: little more for first year staff like the Patriots to
Speaker 5: look at this roster as a whole. I think what's
Speaker 5: different about our situation in year two is I don't
Speaker 5: think like they.
Speaker 4: Got to do the evaluation with everybody.
Speaker 5: But I don't feel like coming into this year, there's
Speaker 5: a lot of spots for young guys to win, so
Speaker 5: it's going to be a very different experience. I think
Speaker 5: this week for both of these teams. I think dan
Speaker 5: quinnin company were in a very similar position than Mike
Speaker 5: Rabel was a year year ago when they were looking
Speaker 5: at this roster really with fresh eyes and trying to
Speaker 5: figure out who are our people that are the commanders.
Speaker 5: I feel like in a year we have made strides
Speaker 5: with our roster that I think we know who those
Speaker 5: people are. And this is about finding out who the
Speaker 5: guys that you can work with for the future future,
Speaker 5: not the immediate future, but the future future is going
Speaker 5: to be Friday Night.
Speaker 2: And I think that's what makes preseasons so valuable.
Speaker 1: Right Like, we know we're not going to see a
Speaker 1: lot of our starters out there, and we shouldn't, but
Speaker 1: the depth on this team, the amount of guys that
Speaker 1: we have, we have guys fighting for a job that
Speaker 1: could be starters on other teams. That's got to be
Speaker 1: a good problem to have being it's a good.
Speaker 6: Problem to have for us and also those guys that
Speaker 6: are in those positions. As Brahm stated, you know, there's
Speaker 6: not a lot of spots on this team, but they
Speaker 6: have thirty one other teams out there, and when you
Speaker 6: get that chance to go out there and you have
Speaker 6: to get a chance to play on film, and you're
Speaker 6: putting something on film, you want to put good, good
Speaker 6: play out there because other teams are going to be
Speaker 6: looking for this team because they understand the type of
Speaker 6: staff that dan Quinn has put together. They understand the
Speaker 6: type of coach he is. So guys that might have
Speaker 6: been through this training camp ready to play some football.
Speaker 6: So if they don't make it here, they can make
Speaker 6: it somewhere else. Yes, you know, I think guys going
Speaker 6: to training camp all the time they get they focused
Speaker 6: on just like tunnel vision on just the team you're
Speaker 6: dealing with.
Speaker 3: The other teams are looking too.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think there's going to be at the end
Speaker 5: of the summer five to eight players that could make
Speaker 5: other rosters that just there wasn't room for them. Yea here,
Speaker 5: And that's really a difference from year one to year
Speaker 5: two at this roster.
Speaker 1: What a huge difference it is and brand when you
Speaker 1: look at our defense on that field today made some
Speaker 1: big plays.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: We heard Mikey Sanderso get an amazing interception and just
Speaker 1: look good him being a mask guy being home. We
Speaker 1: look at those year two guys, you got to see
Speaker 1: him at training camp. Our job is to speculate, but
Speaker 1: getting to see them play against another squad, what did
Speaker 1: you see, especially from the year two guys.
Speaker 5: So like for Sarer still, he had a great interception
Speaker 5: and it was in a winning time moment, So I
Speaker 5: know they're going to be talking about that in the meetings.
Speaker 5: Like one of the biggest things from a year ago
Speaker 5: was they preached this ball as life. They did this
Speaker 5: in Dallas where Quinn and Witt had turnover machine defenses.
Speaker 5: They had one year where Deron Bland broke a record
Speaker 5: for pick sixes. They had another year where Trayvon Diggs
Speaker 5: had I think the most interceptions in a single season
Speaker 5: or was close in Cowboy's history. They're a sack machine,
Speaker 5: turnover machine. They want to be this and I've seen
Speaker 5: this in camp so far. We have a very different
Speaker 5: defense this year. I think it's like they're not even
Speaker 5: really hiding it. If you go to practice every day,
Speaker 5: it's a very different defense. I don't know what they're
Speaker 5: going to show in these preseason games, but standing out
Speaker 5: there and watching them, you're seeing some of these people
Speaker 5: you're talking about becoming like stars and are going to
Speaker 5: be put in positions to make plays. This corner group
Speaker 5: in general, I've described this first and second year. Marshaun
Speaker 5: Latimore is basically a second year player on this team.
Speaker 5: Here's Mike Samers still moving to a natural position where
Speaker 5: they've wanted them from the get go. Trey Amos is
Speaker 5: a day one walk in the door starter. That group,
Speaker 5: along with the backups, I think gives them the promise
Speaker 5: of what they're looking for. And if they get development
Speaker 5: out of some of these other second year players like
Speaker 5: Johnny Newton, you know, others like that, I think you're
Speaker 5: gonna start seeing the fruits of this. I like I
Speaker 5: see the path to their defense being considerably better than
Speaker 5: they were, maybe not ranking wise, but in game changing
Speaker 5: plays than they were a year ago.
Speaker 6: I think what they've done now they have the ingredients
Speaker 6: to do what they want to do. You know, they
Speaker 6: were trying to do some things with guys that weren't
Speaker 6: capable of doing what they wanted. Now this year, I
Speaker 6: think they have all They have a lot of those pieces,
Speaker 6: not completely there, but they have more pieces to where
Speaker 6: you know what, you can go out there and now
Speaker 6: you think it and you have players that know how
Speaker 6: to do it.
Speaker 3: They didn't have that last year.
Speaker 6: You know, there's some guys out there in the secondary
Speaker 6: that you think twice about what they had to do
Speaker 6: this year. I think there's a second expent. I agree
Speaker 6: with you, it's drastically different this time.
Speaker 5: They're gonna trust the corners there, and you know, because
Speaker 5: of that, I think it gives them the liberty to
Speaker 5: do what they want to do up front. So I
Speaker 5: like when Joe Witt says, you're gonna see we're gonna
Speaker 5: get the production from sacks and I don't know if
Speaker 5: it's gonna be one guy or eight guys, you're gonna
Speaker 5: see it happen. It's because they're going to be creative
Speaker 5: upfront and extremely aggressive at the same time. It's going
Speaker 5: to press these corners a little bit. You don't get home.
Speaker 5: There's gonna give up some plays. But what the biggest
Speaker 5: difference to me is the competitive nature of that group
Speaker 5: on the outside and the hands that they have. If
Speaker 5: you've seen the interception Salmar still had today, the ones
Speaker 5: that he's had in camp, Amos is around the ball constantly.
Speaker 5: Lattimore is looking more like himself day to day to day.
Speaker 5: Is their primary backups would be starters on most teams
Speaker 5: in Ignanogny, who's had an incredible camp up to this,
Speaker 5: Ty Jonathan Jones who obviously the Patriots Chandli it's been
Speaker 5: a starter for almost ten years. That might be their
Speaker 5: deepest group and I think it gives them the confidence
Speaker 5: to do what they want to do.
Speaker 1: And that group is very de Jonson Jones again a
Speaker 1: Patriot that won a Super Bowl. No, Ignogny held that
Speaker 1: Nickel spot down and we're a top three against the past,
Speaker 1: so we have death out the wazu. But another thing
Speaker 1: we got to see was a new guy come in,
Speaker 1: Dietrich Wise, another former Patriot of the.
Speaker 2: Super Bowl guy, and we were all there very early.
Speaker 2: He knew for us.
Speaker 1: He was there before the Pads got on that field,
Speaker 1: and we understand he is facing his former team. He
Speaker 1: was here for what almost a decade. B. What's going
Speaker 1: through a guy like wise his mind when you're at
Speaker 1: a place like this that you've been your whole career,
Speaker 1: but now you're somewhere else, but you still got things
Speaker 1: to prove well.
Speaker 6: As always, you want to prove to them that they
Speaker 6: made a mistake, and you want to prove to the
Speaker 6: team that got you that you know what you made
Speaker 6: The right decision and the thing he's done that all camp,
Speaker 6: though he's been out there early the whole time.
Speaker 3: That's just what he is. But he's a big enough.
Speaker 6: Guy and he has enough experience to where, you know,
Speaker 6: guys get to a point where they know they still
Speaker 6: have something and the team gets to a point where
Speaker 6: you know what we want more. Well, the more I'm
Speaker 6: going to show you is that you should have just
Speaker 6: gave me a little more chance. I'm going to a
Speaker 6: team that believes me, and I'm gonna show them when
Speaker 6: I'm capable of. Roldan had a great time and I
Speaker 6: think this time he's going to help them out because
Speaker 6: you know, like Wit said earlier, it's not about one
Speaker 6: guy getting to the quarterback. It's about they gonna do
Speaker 6: it as a team, and he's gonna be a part
Speaker 6: of that.
Speaker 1: And fellas, before we move forward to the commad Lives,
Speaker 1: I do want to go back I love that. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna keep saying that the com Mad Lives. I
Speaker 1: want to go back to that intensity because again, we
Speaker 1: saw some scuffles, we saw the guys get busy right
Speaker 1: and be as a player. When does that intensity from
Speaker 1: joint practices? Is that going to carry over into this
Speaker 1: preseason game when guys are getting chippy like that or
Speaker 1: is it just business as usual?
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, it matter not carry on to
Speaker 6: the preseason game because now you're under the NFL camera
Speaker 6: and you get fined. You know, so what it is.
Speaker 6: You know some things went down to day. Guys got
Speaker 6: into it there. It really stopped rather quickly. Normally you
Speaker 6: will see those things and they don't. They don't stop.
Speaker 6: You know, they keep being chippy with each other. You
Speaker 6: can see those coaches have like a command of it.
Speaker 6: Now when you get in front of the cameras, you
Speaker 6: can't do that because five ten, fifteen, twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 6: Some of these guys don't dam They damn sure don't
Speaker 6: want to give that up. And I think it also
Speaker 6: shows coaches, how can the guy keep us cool? If
Speaker 6: somebody you thought I got a cheap shot on you
Speaker 6: in practice, when you're getting that game, you can't say
Speaker 6: I'm gonna get him back. You know, you don't want
Speaker 6: to do it at the wrong time, most in the
Speaker 6: opportunity time, because if you can't control yourself here, I
Speaker 6: don't think you control yourself in the regular season.
Speaker 4: I think Brian makes a really good point.
Speaker 5: And we see a lot of the in the past
Speaker 5: they just get out of hand, you know, like and
Speaker 5: not that didn't happen today. Like there were scraps and
Speaker 5: there were a couple piles, but like nothing got really.
Speaker 4: In hand watch times.
Speaker 5: And I'm not surprised because I mean, like, these guys
Speaker 5: have been waiting to go get somebody else, so I'm
Speaker 5: not surprised that it happened.
Speaker 4: But I think it shows the control that both of
Speaker 4: these coaches have over their team.
Speaker 5: And I do think it's a good sign of things
Speaker 5: like because if you do allow this, I think it's
Speaker 5: a good sign of player control. Like the second you
Speaker 5: do like what Brian's talking about, it's a fifteen yard penalty.
Speaker 4: It changes the game.
Speaker 5: And you could point back to a day like this
Speaker 5: when somebody was swinging some helmet around and everything was
Speaker 5: completely out of control. Both of these coaches were able
Speaker 5: to control it, so much so that Rabel jumped in
Speaker 5: a pile to make sure it was controlled. But it's
Speaker 5: important to them to understand that you've got to keep
Speaker 5: your wits about yourself and this is the time of
Speaker 5: year to work on literally everything, and you know today
Speaker 5: a couple of cheap shots must have happened somewhere. I
Speaker 5: don't know, they'll they'll have to tell us who it was.
Speaker 5: But but everything really remained under con.
Speaker 2: That now anytime.
Speaker 3: Player Oyo t didn't want to get you back.
Speaker 2: So hell it on, o' bero.
Speaker 1: So glad you brought up the coaching because we've talked
Speaker 1: a lot about Jaye and Daniels in year two, but
Speaker 1: this is year two for dan Quinn had an historic
Speaker 1: first season, much like Jayan Daniels. What have you seen
Speaker 1: from dan Quinn so far? We've been in those meetings,
Speaker 1: we've heard the presses. What have you seen from so
Speaker 1: far that makes you optimistic about what he's going to
Speaker 1: do in year two?
Speaker 5: I mean historic is an understatement because I'm you know,
Speaker 5: putting together all the stats for the game. You know,
Speaker 5: he's only there's only one other coach in Commander's history
Speaker 5: that won twelve games in a season.
Speaker 4: He's the only one to do.
Speaker 2: It in his first year.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 5: So it's a pretty like ridiculous start that he's gotten
Speaker 5: off to, especially when you take into account rookie quarterback,
Speaker 5: thirty new players, whole new thing, you know, I think
Speaker 5: with Jayden, like I got to take the coach's word
Speaker 5: for it at this point. I mean, all they're doing
Speaker 5: is raving about him, you know, just raving and raving
Speaker 5: and raving about him, and you know, saying he's so
Speaker 5: far ahead of the curve. But I would say, like,
Speaker 5: until we see it. And it's not that I don't
Speaker 5: believe him. I do, but like I don't think we've
Speaker 5: seen it, and I I want to see it in
Speaker 5: these in these moments, and today was a pretty good
Speaker 5: sign of it. Like the same thing with like Laramie Tunzel.
Speaker 5: If you'd watch practice up to this point, you wouldn't
Speaker 5: have like, you wouldn't have thought much of it. The
Speaker 5: lights went on today and he in thirty seconds picked
Speaker 5: somebody up and threw them over like a fence, and
Speaker 5: you're like, are we at summer Slam?
Speaker 2: Like what like?
Speaker 4: And then all of a sudden, you go, oh, that's
Speaker 4: who that is.
Speaker 5: So I do feel like that today was one of
Speaker 5: those the lights went on and you saw who some
Speaker 5: of these guys are, and we saw what Jaden was immediately,
Speaker 5: Like they've been playing with their food a little bit
Speaker 5: in camp. Today they got to see somebody wearing a
Speaker 5: different uniform and you got it. You got a little
Speaker 5: glimpse of what they were and what they're going to be.
Speaker 1: Man, it was so great getting you that glimpse and
Speaker 1: joint practices today, and it was so much fun that
Speaker 1: we want to have fun on this show because, like
Speaker 1: I've been saying, we got come mad lives. And for
Speaker 1: those that aren't as cool as us, you might know
Speaker 1: him as ad lists, we call them come Mad Lives.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give you, guys, I'm gonna need three adjectives.
Speaker 1: Y'all give me three adjectives right now, start Eddie, any
Speaker 1: adjective I'm to say any I'm going to say we
Speaker 1: can give one Steller okay, strong, uh, chippy. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: our three adjective stellar, strong, and chippy. Now three offensive
Speaker 1: players be I'm gonna start with you. I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Jade Daniels, brand Bill Okay, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: Mikey Sanders still okay, Oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: We have my bad I jumped.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna used.
Speaker 4: To play offense.
Speaker 2: He did probably.
Speaker 1: I'm just so excited to talk about our defense because
Speaker 1: he did so well. K j Osborne who I will
Speaker 1: have the former patrio. Okay, now think that three this
Speaker 1: defensive players. I got Mikey Sander Silan. Who you got.
Speaker 4: Ladtimore today? I thought was interesting?
Speaker 5: Then I saw the competitive Marshawn Lattimore today.
Speaker 2: Ken Law, Ken Law, Okay, I like that.
Speaker 1: Okay, three eyebrow raisers, brown eyebrow raiser?
Speaker 4: Can I pick the same person?
Speaker 3: Sure?
Speaker 2: Who just says you can kick the same person.
Speaker 5: Lattimore is eyebrow raising a little bit because it's like
Speaker 5: again when you go back to the idea of the
Speaker 5: lights go on, when the lights go on for him,
Speaker 5: don't mess with him like it's just like, yeah, I'm
Speaker 5: not playing.
Speaker 4: It's like like that audience. He'll just wear a bumper
Speaker 4: sticker that says.
Speaker 5: I'm not playing because every play is the most important
Speaker 5: play on Earth Day.
Speaker 1: Yea, yeah for that, I'll say Laramie tumseel for my
Speaker 1: I'll go with zach Ertz Ooh, zach ert that's a
Speaker 1: good one.
Speaker 2: Great to see zach ertzt back out there.
Speaker 1: And then the last one position groups give us one
Speaker 1: be miss gonna start with.
Speaker 3: She oh, I'll go with the running backs.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna go with the secondary. If it's a back.
Speaker 4: See, I was gonna take corners.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you can get corners. I'll take the wide
Speaker 1: receiver corner. All right, now, we got our stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at my producer right now. So this is what
Speaker 1: we're about to do. Okay, So I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: all a sentence. We got our three defensive players. We're
Speaker 1: gonna start with the defensive player. This defensive player was
Speaker 1: getting froggy at practice for the defense. For those that
Speaker 1: don't know what frog is, it means if you get
Speaker 1: a froggy and you want to leap leap, it means
Speaker 1: you're getting in people's faces. He missed was as froggy
Speaker 1: as it got back in the day.
Speaker 4: So whoever used froggy in this is a big fan
Speaker 4: of kid.
Speaker 2: Shout out to.
Speaker 4: Used since their famous.
Speaker 3: Is if you just described him to a t.
Speaker 6: Yeah, every player is the most important.
Speaker 3: Is always He's always ready to go.
Speaker 2: He's always with us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he got into it with Kashawn Booty at one point.
Speaker 5: He was up in everybody's face the whole time. It's
Speaker 5: just how he is. Gives himself crap like himself like that.
Speaker 5: A got cut from the same b MITx cloth.
Speaker 1: Okay, now this one, the O m G play of
Speaker 1: the day came from Blank.
Speaker 2: Offensive players.
Speaker 5: So, I mean there's there's two that happened today, but
Speaker 5: since we chose Tunsil, Tunsil picking up, I don't.
Speaker 4: Remember who it was, it was one of those he
Speaker 4: was like, you want to go?
Speaker 2: Really it was a safety.
Speaker 3: It was a safety. He looked like a bounce of
Speaker 3: getting rid of somebody too, yes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, or the blocking sled where he's just moving it
Speaker 5: straight forward.
Speaker 1: It was really we are all in on suchs of Okay,
Speaker 1: next one. The most surprising standout from camp so far
Speaker 1: has been Blank. This will be from our eye brow Razor.
Speaker 5: Oh man, I'm gonna go Bill, and I you know,
Speaker 5: like and I know the hype train on Bill is
Speaker 5: just I think a little out of control, to be honest.
Speaker 5: I mean the seventh round pick. Give him a break here, like,
Speaker 5: let's not let's not like have these expectations he's gonna
Speaker 5: walk in the door and bear Jimior Gibbs, Like, I
Speaker 5: don't think that's fair to him.
Speaker 4: However he's doing, he's doing things. It makes me think
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 5: Right, So he's been the standout to me, I think
Speaker 5: the running back room is fascinating, you know, like I
Speaker 5: really don't know. I think like I think, I think
Speaker 5: I know who's gonna make it. I don't know who's
Speaker 5: gonna get a lot of carries. Like I think that's
Speaker 5: how this summer is shaping out.
Speaker 4: To me.
Speaker 5: I think we're a long way away from knowing who's
Speaker 5: going to be out on the field against the Giants
Speaker 5: more than the others.
Speaker 4: I don't know what the packing order is off guys
Speaker 4: that get carry.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes JCM so intriguing, right and why
Speaker 1: he's getting all this hype, not only because he's a
Speaker 1: seventh round pick, but because this running back room. I
Speaker 1: don't think we've seen death like this in a very
Speaker 1: very long time. So we cool go with Bill, be mixed,
Speaker 1: We cool to go cool it.
Speaker 6: But like I was also impressed by Earth because I'm
Speaker 6: looking at this guy this many years in the league.
Speaker 3: People thought he was done.
Speaker 6: He came in last year, played terrific, and to day,
Speaker 6: all he did was be open on every damn pass play.
Speaker 5: If you watch today's practice, you would use a first
Speaker 5: round fantasy pick on him because he's gonna have three
Speaker 5: hundred receptions.
Speaker 4: That's that's what it looked like.
Speaker 6: Every time I look, I was like, damn, Zachary's calling
Speaker 6: another ball and it wasn't like he was. They were
Speaker 6: just throwing him. He was open, they weren't close to it.
Speaker 6: So he's a route runner. He understands how to position
Speaker 6: himself and he knows how to use that by it
Speaker 6: like a basket.
Speaker 1: And him and Jaden's chemistry is phenomenal. Okay, fellas moving on,
Speaker 1: this blank position group are fun to watch.
Speaker 2: I think we're all going to agree on this one.
Speaker 1: Defensive bags man, I think we're all there for the
Speaker 1: defensive made big plays again third against the pass last year,
Speaker 1: and it looks like we've gotten better.
Speaker 6: That is extremely path last year with that crew, with
Speaker 6: that wild this year with.
Speaker 2: His crew now, a lot goes into that.
Speaker 1: However, you gotta imagine there's still going to be on
Speaker 1: the Joe A Junior.
Speaker 5: The thing that I'm really excited about with this group
Speaker 5: is I think they're going to cause a lot more turnovers.
Speaker 5: That's the part of this that I think is really
Speaker 5: exciting to me. When I look at them. These are
Speaker 5: ballhawk players. Amos is a walk in the door day
Speaker 5: one starter. You could see it in the spring. He's
Speaker 5: just got it. I think Joe Witt said he gets
Speaker 5: better every day he's around the ball. Sanders still is
Speaker 5: consistently around the ball. He makes wild interceptions. Now, he
Speaker 5: had one in Camper. He was like fun, this one
Speaker 5: was tipped up in the air today at the joint
Speaker 5: practice and he's just there. Kwan can catch the ball.
Speaker 5: Look out Latimore, you know, wants to deck somebody and
Speaker 5: then take them all away from them. Like I feel
Speaker 5: like all that can happen. And again like Igbanagai who
Speaker 5: got a hard time getting on the field, he's around
Speaker 5: the ball constantly if you watch. So, I mean, that's
Speaker 5: what I'm excited about with this group. I think we
Speaker 5: have the Ball as Life group, the thing that they
Speaker 5: were talking about for the last year. I think they
Speaker 5: have the group that can actually bring that to life.
Speaker 1: Fellas, it's crazy to think we've done a whole show
Speaker 1: and if barely talked about JD five, we barely talked
Speaker 1: about Jayden Daniels. So let's ask him as our last one.
Speaker 1: He will be our adjective. Jayden Daniels looks blank. We
Speaker 1: were our adjectives. Producer Jason.
Speaker 2: Stellar strong and all.
Speaker 6: Three of them because you all didn't see when the
Speaker 6: little scuffle started and everybody start walking off the field.
Speaker 6: The last person to speak to the guy that look
Speaker 6: cornerback over.
Speaker 3: There was Jade Daniels.
Speaker 6: Well, they stepped right to him.
Speaker 5: So after practice day someone asked him. They were like,
Speaker 5: where were you when that happened? He goes, I was there.
Speaker 5: They pulled me away.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: That conversations with his mom and believe me, he's the
Speaker 6: nicest guy in the world.
Speaker 3: He smiles a lot. I think what he does he
Speaker 3: knows how to talk trash.
Speaker 6: He'll walk by and drop a little word at you
Speaker 6: and agitate the hell out of you because all he
Speaker 6: wants you to do is go out there and do
Speaker 6: something stupid, and he's going to take advantage of.
Speaker 5: The best part of it is he does it with
Speaker 5: a smile. Yeah, that's the funniest fun.
Speaker 4: To smile.
Speaker 5: He's constantly a big wide grin when he's saying something
Speaker 5: to somebody good or bad.
Speaker 3: You start, you know, you loss.
Speaker 2: That's a perfect point because he's so composed.
Speaker 1: He wants to get you out of your mind, he
Speaker 1: wants to get you into your body, and he does.
Speaker 2: A great job.
Speaker 3: He does it, man, he does it. He knows what
Speaker 3: he's doing.
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I kind of like the command Liz Man shout out
Speaker 1: to producing Jason and producer and and for.
Speaker 2: Setting that up.
Speaker 1: Now, we do have one more game to go before
Speaker 1: we end this fun show on this beautiful day in Foxborough.
Speaker 1: This is what's more important. We're calling it this or that. Okay,
Speaker 1: you can do with this, and you can deal with that.
Speaker 1: This that we want BEEVI, it's okay, So this joint
Speaker 1: practice or that preseason game, what's more important?
Speaker 2: Brown to me?
Speaker 5: It's this practice mainly because you're going to see the
Speaker 5: starters take part in it.
Speaker 2: Or we did you know?
Speaker 5: And I really I think dan Quis already said that
Speaker 5: very few of the people who are expected to start
Speaker 5: are going to play at all, and the ones that
Speaker 5: are primary backups are probably not going to play very much.
Speaker 5: That's by design. They wanted to use this week to
Speaker 5: be a full evaluation. We're going to get a lot
Speaker 5: of reps with all these starters on film in the practice,
Speaker 5: and we're going to get a lot of reps on
Speaker 5: all the guys that are vying to make the team
Speaker 5: and make the practice squad and be you know, players
Speaker 5: that they can work with for the future in the game.
Speaker 5: So for me, because I do feel like we kind
Speaker 5: of know who this squad is, Like if you said, like,
Speaker 5: who's the fifty three, I think I could name fifty
Speaker 5: and probably be on it at this point. I do
Speaker 5: feel like for me right now, the more reps you
Speaker 5: get with the starters, seeing them is more important to
Speaker 5: me right now.
Speaker 6: For the overall team, I believe the practice, the joint
Speaker 6: practice was more important, But for about three to four guys,
Speaker 6: preseason game is going to be the most important because
Speaker 6: those guys probably are looking at those last three spots
Speaker 6: on that bubble and they got to go out there
Speaker 6: and perform. We've seen guys over the years where you
Speaker 6: know what, Hey, the coaches want you to make it
Speaker 6: because you've shown something and they falter at the wrong point.
Speaker 6: And I think it's more important for those guys because
Speaker 6: they didn't.
Speaker 3: Get a chance today. They'll get a chance in the
Speaker 3: game though.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you're gonna see some veterans there too, Like
Speaker 5: it's not just the young guys, Like you know, I
Speaker 5: don't think Michael Galloper kJ Osborn are going to be
Speaker 5: inactive Friday night.
Speaker 4: Well, these are veterans in the league.
Speaker 5: They're vying for one to two spots, you know, the
Speaker 5: defensive line. Not all of those guys are going to
Speaker 5: be in, Like Pain's probably not playing, but not.
Speaker 4: The guys behind them. That's right.
Speaker 5: And the guys behind them are veterans. So you're not
Speaker 5: seeing this like young versus old situation here. I think
Speaker 5: you're seeing who really is willing to put it on
Speaker 5: the line, even if it's just kind of in a
Speaker 5: reserve role such and.
Speaker 6: What veteran players are going to go into this game
Speaker 6: and get an attitude because they gotta play. Well, do
Speaker 6: you do like Bill did in this last year and
Speaker 6: go out there and run scout team as as hard
Speaker 6: as he can to make yourself better? I think that
Speaker 6: right there will be watched too, because coaches want to
Speaker 6: take out attitude.
Speaker 4: Is what story was wild? The King's very told that
Speaker 4: was wild.
Speaker 2: That he told that that's a great story. Man's great.
Speaker 1: So I actually have to talk to Bill about that
Speaker 1: on the Next Man Up podcast, and he's just a
Speaker 1: great guy, and he just said, I didn't have to
Speaker 1: do it, but I wanted to be there for my team.
Speaker 1: I wanted to be there for my eyes, and that
Speaker 1: says a lot because again he was not allowed to place,
Speaker 1: so we could have just went about his business, but
Speaker 1: he stuck with his team.
Speaker 2: We have special you're not gonna play.
Speaker 1: Man high character guys. But it kept him ready because
Speaker 1: he did get that senior ball the MVP. I moving
Speaker 1: forward this or that, this, the starters get reps, that
Speaker 1: the depth guys get evaluation.
Speaker 2: What's more important brand you kind of spoke to this one.
Speaker 5: I think it's the starters getting reps at this point,
Speaker 5: Like I just I kind of think we know who
Speaker 5: the frontline starters are and I think this is about
Speaker 5: getting them as much reps as possible and protecting them
Speaker 5: all at the same time and you know, trying to
Speaker 5: avoid injury at all costs. So I actually think right now,
Speaker 5: like again today, the practice to me was more important
Speaker 5: than what the game will be. Does it diminish the
Speaker 5: game in any way to me? I think it's a
Speaker 5: good evaluation for a lot of young players, Like I
Speaker 5: do want to see Jacry Brooks and Jacoby Jones out
Speaker 5: there catching passes and see what that looks like. I
Speaker 5: think there is a battle for the third quarterback on
Speaker 5: this team right now, that's important, you know, Like so
Speaker 5: I want to see all these things materialize. But for me,
Speaker 5: heading towards the season, it is the reps for the.
Speaker 6: Starters, well I think for me, I think I'm gonna
Speaker 6: go with the guys getting the backups getting the reps
Speaker 6: and things like that, well to getting that chance to
Speaker 6: go show with their bout because last year we saw
Speaker 6: when startus got hurt, that's when we went.
Speaker 3: To a little slump.
Speaker 6: I want to be able to see which guys can
Speaker 6: keep the boat to float if that happened, because normally,
Speaker 6: if you're starting the season, you end up being hurt eventually.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 5: Cliff brought this up the other day, you know, like
Speaker 5: because Terry hasn't been practicing because.
Speaker 4: Noah Brown's been out with an injury or they're taking
Speaker 4: it slow with him.
Speaker 5: These are two people that are supposed to be primary
Speaker 5: players for this team. Well that is it's a silver
Speaker 5: lining that you get a lot of players to get
Speaker 5: opportunities to do this. And it's also as Cliff put it,
Speaker 5: all right, if this happens in the season, who am
Speaker 5: I turning to? He needs to finance answer out And
Speaker 5: now you want to find that out now.
Speaker 2: Totally, and that is the beauty of preseason.
Speaker 1: There is guys out there fighting for their livelihoods, fellas
Speaker 1: last one. This is that, this winning the game, that
Speaker 1: showing progress, whatever that may be, what is more important.
Speaker 2: Beans I'm gonna go with you.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go show in progress because preseason is a
Speaker 6: little weird. If your starters out there, your second team
Speaker 6: against their second team, and you're just absolutely better than them,
Speaker 6: and you're winning the game, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 6: you put your guys in that you don't have a lot.
Speaker 2: Of faith the inn and they let the game go.
Speaker 6: When you had the people equal to their team, you're
Speaker 6: winning the game. So I look at that because like preseason,
Speaker 6: winning preseason game, it's great, it's cool, but it doesn't
Speaker 6: get you anything. You know, the year we won the
Speaker 6: Super Bowl ninety one, I don't think we won a
Speaker 6: game in preseason, and then we got in the regularcly
Speaker 6: we win eleven games straight.
Speaker 3: So it's about when it really counts.
Speaker 6: You know, I want to win every game, but still
Speaker 6: I don't think it's vitally important to win a.
Speaker 5: Preseason I don't think it's important to win either However,
Speaker 5: I do think it's important to look like a team
Speaker 5: that knows what they're doing.
Speaker 2: Yes, you know, I.
Speaker 5: Don't want to jump on anybody in a preseason game,
Speaker 5: but if you watch the Hall of Fame game the
Speaker 5: other day, that was not a good sign for Detroit.
Speaker 5: And like I know, they didn't play any of their starters,
Speaker 5: neither did the Chargers, but they made so many mistakes. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they the score got out of base right the screen,
Speaker 5: and that score doesn't matter in week one, Like I
Speaker 5: get that, Like it's just gonna be owen want in
Speaker 5: a preseason game that doesn't really matter. But if they
Speaker 5: start slow in the season, you're going to point back
Speaker 5: to this and go, what were they doing early in
Speaker 5: the summer? Why weren't they buttoned up all these odd
Speaker 5: mistakes that they were making. So I do believe that
Speaker 5: that stuff, Matt. I don't care what the score is
Speaker 5: at the end of the day. But if you see
Speaker 5: a team that is making a lot of mistakes, losing
Speaker 5: their minds because there's a scrap or something and they
Speaker 5: get weird penalties like those are the type of things
Speaker 5: point to do you go.
Speaker 4: That can't happen when the real games roll around.
Speaker 5: So that's the stuff that I'm looking for too, And
Speaker 5: I assume that, you know, for what I saw today,
Speaker 5: I'll controlled everything was that.
Speaker 4: Neither team's gonna look like that on Friday night.
Speaker 1: Now, this is this is my favorite time of the season.
Speaker 1: Preseason is back, baby. We got our preseason game in
Speaker 1: just two days, Fellas, before we wrap this extremely long
Speaker 1: titled show, how y'all feeling going into Foxboro to face
Speaker 1: the new England Pages for our first preseason game, brand
Speaker 1: will start too.
Speaker 5: I actually hope Drake may plays a little bit because
Speaker 5: I actually thought he looked good in the preseason, and
Speaker 5: I would love to see our corners getting opportunity with
Speaker 5: him on the field. I would like to see that.
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's what they're gonna do, but
Speaker 5: I would like to see that. So I'm looking for matchups.
Speaker 5: But I am really excited about the group that is
Speaker 5: going to go out there and kind of just get
Speaker 5: a look at them for the first time in a
Speaker 5: competitive spot, even if it is without some of our
Speaker 5: primary players.
Speaker 4: But I don't know. Rabel was very close to the bestball.
Speaker 5: What he's gonna do if his starters play, it's not
Speaker 5: gonna be very much, but I'm hoping it's a little
Speaker 5: bit because I would like to see that matchup for us.
Speaker 6: Well, I'm very excited about the big guys, you know,
Speaker 6: because I watch our officer line today and they look
Speaker 6: way way better. And then you have Coleman and uh
Speaker 6: and cos Me not being here. Can you could just
Speaker 6: imagine how good they're gonna be. Then today there were
Speaker 6: times when they're off in the defensive linemen were standing
Speaker 6: next to drake Man. He continued on with the play.
Speaker 6: Probably would have been sacked, but he continues on with
Speaker 6: the play. It showed me that now we can get
Speaker 6: some push, we can get to the quarterback, and if
Speaker 6: they're gonna come when the season start, well that's ended
Speaker 6: up being sacked. Well, that being being precious where you
Speaker 6: end up getting those interceptions.
Speaker 5: Let me give one little camp reward. Okay, since you
Speaker 5: mentioned the line and the injuries that are there, Andrew
Speaker 5: Wiley deserves some.
Speaker 4: Kind of a war.
Speaker 5: Yeah, for like I don't know whether he's gonna play
Speaker 5: on Friday night or not, and like I actually hope
Speaker 5: he doesn't, you know, because like they.
Speaker 4: Clearly need him. He has become in camp.
Speaker 5: They see him as the literal versatile piece that can
Speaker 5: play any position but left.
Speaker 4: God, they've done that. I've seen him play every position.
Speaker 5: Even today in the practice he was in a guard
Speaker 5: left guard, not right guard on the right side, that's right.
Speaker 5: So he deserves he deserves some kind of award for
Speaker 5: we think you're the most versatile person on the team.
Speaker 3: Right he played every position. We will if we need to.
Speaker 5: They're basically saying, if we need you to do anything,
Speaker 5: you're gonna be up for it, and we believe you're
Speaker 5: gonna be able to handle it.
Speaker 4: He deserves some credit for them.
Speaker 1: A couple of guys that I like that because we
Speaker 1: have a trench Scott too, who does the same exact thing.
Speaker 6: Coach Gibbs told me one time, you say, the more
Speaker 6: you can do, the longer you can play the more.
Speaker 6: That's why I never turned down anything. And when you
Speaker 6: look at Wally the guy, the more he can play,
Speaker 6: the longer his career is going to be because he
Speaker 6: shows his value. You know, if you got a guy
Speaker 6: can play right, going left, going right, tackle, left tackle,
Speaker 6: and you even get that center, you're gonna keep him
Speaker 6: around on you football team. You basically five guys from
Speaker 6: under one salary.
Speaker 1: Man, there is so much to be excited about. Clearly
Speaker 1: here we just blew through over an hour. I think
Speaker 1: just chopping it up. I think we talked for a while.
Speaker 5: Wait too, you see how long it takes to say
Speaker 5: that name of the show again.
Speaker 2: Honestly, com bad. This family, we got two other best year.
Speaker 2: We have the voice of.
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders, my god Brand Weinstein, and then of
Speaker 1: course future Hall of Famer Brian Mitchell.
Speaker 2: This has been our command center practic.
Speaker 1: That's your preseason against the New England Patriots preview exclusive.
Speaker 2: Command this family, we do this all for y'all. We
Speaker 2: love y'all so much.
Speaker 1: We will holler at y'all next Monday because training camp
Speaker 1: is still going on and we will be live. Your
Speaker 1: commands of the crew will be live next Monday for
Speaker 1: training camp. But until then, we'll see y'all Friday when
Speaker 1: our commanders take on the New England Patriots.
