Speaker 1: Welcome to games Names. I'm Julian Edelman, and we got
Speaker 1: a brand new compilation Highlight Reel starting now now.
Speaker 2: Patrick's are saying on the importance of technique playing cornerback.
Speaker 1: You're such a technician in your game, like you look
Speaker 1: like a pro. You're never out of phase, You're always
Speaker 1: have your feet Coach Saban, you know, shout out, always
Speaker 1: have your feet, You're always in position. You never miss
Speaker 1: your fucking off, ham Jam Is that something your dad
Speaker 1: brought to howd what'd your dad teach you about this game?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: Because you look like you're miles ahead at such a
Speaker 1: young age. You're only like your fifth year, fourth year,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? How do you look like
Speaker 1: such a veteran? What did Pops teach you? It's sort
Speaker 1: of like a nuance to dB position. Just patience I
Speaker 1: learned going through because it was it was quite adjustment,
Speaker 1: like not reacting to everything that the receiver was doing
Speaker 1: and sort of having sort of like you like a monk,
Speaker 1: just being patient and just sitting there. Because once you
Speaker 1: start like trying to move out the receiver and let
Speaker 1: the receiver dictate everything, that's when you start to get
Speaker 1: Eradick and you lose your technique and your fundamentals. One
Speaker 1: thing that I learned was like, pretend like you're in
Speaker 1: a box, like you're in this frame and receive gotta
Speaker 1: either go one way or the other, and you gotta
Speaker 1: just stay in that box and force them to go
Speaker 1: eat the direction. And that's why I just started to learn,
Speaker 1: you know, being patient, you know, and you know, off
Speaker 1: hand jamming with something I learned just like in high
Speaker 1: school and sort of just sticking with that and staggered
Speaker 1: feet though, are the feet staggered when you're off hand jam?
Speaker 1: I would have saw it. I would have been studying
Speaker 1: the off hand jam. Usually that dB when he gets
Speaker 1: stole out of jam, you see his feet like this.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, you knew what this was coming.
Speaker 4: You can't you can't do that because, like you said,
Speaker 4: dudes like you would would catch on to that.
Speaker 1: But you sort of got to mix it up.
Speaker 4: You know, you got to have a two box, you know,
Speaker 4: take a quick jam, uh, tough jam, quick jam and
Speaker 4: all that. I feel like that's got to be in
Speaker 4: your arsenal because receivers nowadare is so good. It's just
Speaker 4: like you got to mix it up. You gotta just
Speaker 4: fine tune your crab each and every day. But Pops,
Speaker 4: definitely I learned a lot from Pops along the way
Speaker 4: for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Next up, keep to leave on what he learned from
Speaker 2: Ronde Barber with filming technique.
Speaker 3: If you learn from.
Speaker 5: Ronde how to watch tape, Ronde, Ronde really taught me
Speaker 5: how to set my notebook up and how to watch
Speaker 5: tape like I won't watching no motherfucking how do you
Speaker 5: watch tape? I watch it first second down through personnel.
Speaker 5: So I watched twenty one personnel. I'm either going to
Speaker 5: be on the single receiver side or the tight end side,
Speaker 5: and single receiver side, I watch the tape, and if
Speaker 5: I keep seeing the route recur, reoccur, reoccur, I'm writing
Speaker 5: it down. So on the on the single receiver side,
Speaker 5: stop route, slant fade. If I see it route one time,
Speaker 5: I ain't writing it down on the tight end on
Speaker 5: the tight end receiver side, I'm gonna just write down
Speaker 5: what route keep on coming up? And I had the
Speaker 5: top three routes. Anything else, I'm just playing football. But
Speaker 5: I'm gonna know, Okay, they twenty one personnel, boom, they
Speaker 5: break tight end on my side, slat f a hitch
Speaker 5: or whatever. My three routes them the three routes that
Speaker 5: I'm anticipating. If you run something else, then I be
Speaker 5: a cornerback. I'd be a professional cornerback, and I'll react
Speaker 5: to it. But I just go through every formation like that,
Speaker 5: twenty one, then twelve, then eleven on early downs, and
Speaker 5: then I go third down, eleven, twelve, then a bunch
Speaker 5: if damn bunch they do these like I just it's
Speaker 5: a big test, bro. I just write down the routes
Speaker 5: and these formations, and then when y'all break the huddle,
Speaker 5: y'all come out in this formation. It's like I'm taking
Speaker 5: a test. If I can't think of shit, I just
Speaker 5: play my technique. But if I got an idea even
Speaker 5: running overall, usually I'm right, because you know how offense is,
Speaker 5: y'all do. It's just like playing the game. Y'all gonna
Speaker 5: do what the fuck y'all do? Right, you could we
Speaker 5: could turn the matt and on right now. You're gonna
Speaker 5: run your shit. You've been running against everybody you've ever
Speaker 5: been playing. You feel me, it's the same. So it's
Speaker 5: a big test, man. You gotta put that time in
Speaker 5: and memorize this shit and be able to go to
Speaker 5: it as they break the huddle and shit. So that's
Speaker 5: how I say Ronde taught me how to organize my notebook. Listen,
Speaker 5: first second down ten, eleven, twelve, twenty one. Third down
Speaker 5: is probably gonna be eleven or twelve, red zone, get
Speaker 5: your top concepts, take them away. Besides that, be a
Speaker 5: pro play ball. How your premium looks these day best plays.
Speaker 5: They run these plays every fucking week. If they run
Speaker 5: these plays, I'm picking it. Having premium looks shit. Ronde
Speaker 5: put me on that man.
Speaker 6: Shout out Ronde, shoutout.
Speaker 7: Ronde, Ronde.
Speaker 1: He was just He's a straight pro guy.
Speaker 5: Ronde was a pros pro man. Just you know, never late,
Speaker 5: never miss a day, never sick.
Speaker 7: Like how the fuck you never sick like you ain't
Speaker 7: got a cold or nothing like, goddamn.
Speaker 6: You feel me?
Speaker 7: He just man, just a pros pro man.
Speaker 5: Gotta gotta got the woman who take care of his body.
Speaker 5: Put me on onto her like, just a real pros pro.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: I caught him in later years as well, so just
Speaker 5: a real prose pro man.
Speaker 2: Next back man Jones on who the real lockdown corners.
Speaker 6: Are in the NFL.
Speaker 1: That that's like a real corner lockdown lockdown. And who's
Speaker 1: the lockdown corners right now? That are man coverage corners?
Speaker 8: We gotta say, Patrick, certain, Patrick following your dog? I
Speaker 8: like long though, I like, uh the kid from the
Speaker 8: Panthers Jackson uh or the other one the word just
Speaker 8: got paid all that money corn right, Jesse Horn, Jason.
Speaker 6: Him that.
Speaker 8: Them are my top two Gonzales. I like Stingley is
Speaker 8: really good.
Speaker 1: To the corners.
Speaker 7: Stingley's stings is a dog.
Speaker 1: Gonzo Gonzalez for the Patriots. He's just he's pretty, he's
Speaker 1: athletically there. Yeah, he still needs to learn how to
Speaker 1: use his hands. But that guy he sticks on. Dudes,
Speaker 1: there's some good corners, there's some good corner.
Speaker 7: What do you what do you?
Speaker 1: What do you think about these playoffs?
Speaker 6: Right now?
Speaker 8: It's up in the air, but you know how it
Speaker 8: is brou if you get high at the end of
Speaker 8: the season. I think the most dangerous team right now
Speaker 8: are the Texans.
Speaker 1: Texans.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, Patrick's ertain on the cornerbacks that he modeled
Speaker 2: his game after.
Speaker 1: Who are some of the guys you modeled your game after.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, obviously pops, you know. I mean
Speaker 4: he's been there along the way watching him play. But
Speaker 4: you know, just Breeve's another guy. Champ Bailey, Charles Woodson.
Speaker 1: You know, Chilli have an asshole sometimes if you don't
Speaker 1: know him, he gives ass whole vibe because he's just
Speaker 1: like he's always competing. Yeah that's my guy.
Speaker 6: Love you, Charles, Yeah, yeah, I mean just just legends.
Speaker 3: Another legend.
Speaker 9: He's we're drinking shotsill, Yeah, another one, man.
Speaker 4: It's I think, uh, just looking at so many legends
Speaker 4: growing up. I mean like Richard Sherman, Patrick Peterson, Jaya Ramsey,
Speaker 4: girl watching Jaya Ramsey and he's still doing it, you know.
Speaker 4: So Stefan Gilmore, you know chill chill now, he's like
Speaker 4: real chill.
Speaker 1: I played with him like five years. I heard him
Speaker 1: speak four times. He fought twice too. We didn't talk.
Speaker 7: Yeah, fought.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: We fought Cono to fight RACI.
Speaker 6: Yeah if I.
Speaker 1: Twice nah, probably we had one really big fight. Okay,
Speaker 1: that was when the dread came out. Yeah, I pulled
Speaker 1: a dread out.
Speaker 4: Would be the ones you least expect, though, man, for
Speaker 4: really be the ones you least expect.
Speaker 2: But what what is so I mean, now, Charles Woodson
Speaker 2: on the hardest receivers to cover in his career.
Speaker 1: Who is the toughest cover for you in your career?
Speaker 6: Marvin?
Speaker 10: I was Marvin Harrison, Marvin Harris. Yeah, Marvin man lightning,
Speaker 10: quick as lightning, you know. And I played him a
Speaker 10: couple of times when I was you know, I think
Speaker 10: my rookie year in my second year played him in Indie,
Speaker 10: So we played him on the turf.
Speaker 6: He's down there with Peyton Manning.
Speaker 10: And you know, Marvin was always joked that Marvin was
Speaker 10: you know, he was going to line up on the
Speaker 10: defensive left offenses right, and that's where.
Speaker 6: He was gonna be. Yeah, damn it. And that's what
Speaker 6: it was.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 6: It wasn't a whole lot of motion and trying to
Speaker 6: get him open and all that stuff. You had to
Speaker 6: line up. You had to play Marvin head up. And
Speaker 6: I mean, to me, he he had it all.
Speaker 8: He was.
Speaker 10: You know, it's fast, he was quick. He ran good routes,
Speaker 10: elite hens, elite hands in and out of his breaks,
Speaker 10: you know good. So I feel like, you know, just
Speaker 10: coming into the league and playing against him, you know,
Speaker 10: that was I would say, you know, before I was seasoned.
Speaker 10: I would say that was the best guy I played against.
Speaker 1: And he always seemed to be comfortable and the uncomfortable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like for a small guy, he used to get like
Speaker 1: back shoulders and he would play fadeball with the best
Speaker 1: of them. And he was he was like five eight everything.
Speaker 10: I mean short routes, intermediate routes, deep routes, seven routes,
Speaker 10: over routes, you know whatever.
Speaker 6: He had it all, like you had to cover. You
Speaker 6: had to cover all the routes with him.
Speaker 1: Maybe in like five years, six years, we'll have another
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison Charles Woodson rematch.
Speaker 6: Oh man, how about it with the sun? How crazy
Speaker 6: would that be? Oh Man? Yeah, I like the sound
Speaker 6: of it.
Speaker 1: But he's he's bigger than his dad. You'd be a
Speaker 1: different matchup. Your kid looks just like you on the field.
Speaker 1: He's like the same body, same body type.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 6: He had to be like be like me and Megatron,
Speaker 6: like Megatron was like that Megatrons.
Speaker 1: Was he hard to cover Mega Tron?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 10: Yeah, because you know he for one, he was six
Speaker 10: four six or five whatever he is, so you know
Speaker 10: he's got that you know, that long catch radius, tall,
Speaker 10: he could run and he's a big dude. He wasn't
Speaker 10: like a you know, slender dude. So so he's a
Speaker 10: big dude as well, so you you know he was.
Speaker 10: He was one of those guys that you know, if
Speaker 10: if he got that step on you, then you know
Speaker 10: you're not you're not recovering.
Speaker 1: And he's never covered even if he's covered because he's
Speaker 1: so big.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, like you said, yeah, like I said that,
Speaker 10: they catch radius man up wide. Yeah, that's hard to stop.
Speaker 1: Who's the favorite quarterback to pick off?
Speaker 10: Favorite it off? Well, it didn't come till late in
Speaker 10: my career. I picked off Peyton my my last year
Speaker 10: in the NFL, So I had to say that was
Speaker 10: the favorite because that's I mean, it's.
Speaker 6: Peyton pay Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got Tom.
Speaker 10: I dropped maybe two of Tom's interception. One of them
Speaker 10: I would have scored to it. I'm really I'm still
Speaker 10: mad about that. And you know he's you know he uh.
Speaker 10: But he sent me the video one day. He's like, man,
Speaker 10: I gave you one. Man, I had it too. Man,
Speaker 10: He's like running down and feel I got your ass. Yeah, man,
Speaker 10: he laid it up there. So nice for me too.
Speaker 2: Now, ty Law explains what it takes to be a
Speaker 2: dog in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Can you explain the dog?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 1: Can you explain? I think the dog?
Speaker 4: The dog is a mentality. You know that, And under
Speaker 4: any circumstances, are you gonna break me? I'm gonna win.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna every play, even if you knock me down,
Speaker 4: I'm get back up. I'm gonna come at you the
Speaker 4: same full tilt all day. And when adversity strikes, you
Speaker 4: still don't drop your head. And you got that mentality
Speaker 4: that I'm gonna beat you this play. If you beat me,
Speaker 4: oh the next play, Oh it's own do it again?
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So that's what like we're looking up right there. Kevin
Speaker 4: Garnett dog dog.
Speaker 6: All time dog?
Speaker 1: What's rushmore of dogs?
Speaker 10: WHOA?
Speaker 3: That's tough.
Speaker 4: That's tough, I would say, you know, okay, let's just
Speaker 4: throw out a couple.
Speaker 6: From me sports.
Speaker 3: Lawrence Taylor dog dog.
Speaker 4: One that just retired, Aaron Donald that is a dog,
Speaker 4: Ray Lewis dog. Rodney Harrison dog.
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: Because I'm telling you, I'll say here, because Rodne Harrison
Speaker 4: is supposed to be in a Pro Football of Fame. No, no, no, okay, no,
Speaker 4: he's Jimmy Smith dog, Julia Edelman dog.
Speaker 3: And not just because of you know, I looked at
Speaker 3: the journey too.
Speaker 4: Okay, you can make plays, you can do all this stuff,
Speaker 4: but to know how tough he was to be able
Speaker 4: to go out there and do that and go out
Speaker 4: there and do what I do. I told Troy Brown,
Speaker 4: you got me fired, dog because I got hurt hip
Speaker 4: Troy Brown playing dB, you know, and and did some
Speaker 4: dog ship picking stuff.
Speaker 3: He led the league, he led the team and picks
Speaker 3: you know, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So when you guys, when you guys come in and
Speaker 4: do that and can do more than just your job,
Speaker 4: and you do it with so much passion and you're
Speaker 4: successful because no one expected you to be who you are.
Speaker 4: Maybe you expected it, but when you get drafted or
Speaker 4: did you get drafted, Okay, you went seventh round, damn it.
Speaker 3: That's basically a free agent botion, but.
Speaker 1: Free agent because you don't have to do two years.
Speaker 4: Huh exactly. But no one expected you or they brought
Speaker 4: you in. They didn't expect you to turn into the
Speaker 4: only person that can believe that is a dog. And
Speaker 4: you got to believe in yourself, because basically when you
Speaker 4: get drafted that late, you're coming from another position. You're
Speaker 4: basically there for tackling dummy. You're there forgot, You're there
Speaker 4: there for guys like somebody established like myself. He beat
Speaker 4: up on exactly, so for you to make it, you know,
Speaker 4: you a dog right there, and then to put out
Speaker 4: there and perform. And then you had some of the
Speaker 4: top corners out there that didn't want to see him.
Speaker 3: So that right there you fit in. The dog.
Speaker 4: Tom Brady was a dog dog because from day one
Speaker 4: he came in there and he wanted to compete. He
Speaker 4: gonna talk shit, and I'm telling him, we used to
Speaker 4: light him up, but he coming right back at you
Speaker 4: as a dog on head bunch you. He gonna fight, you,
Speaker 4: come at you. And he was not no pump. And
Speaker 4: that's what you know then he ain't no punk right there,
Speaker 4: that was like a compliment, Oh he ain't no pump.
Speaker 3: You know nowadays it's a he ain't no bitch. He
Speaker 3: ain't no pump, you know what I mean. So that
Speaker 3: was Tom.
Speaker 4: I look at like receivers like again, Hine's Ward was
Speaker 4: a dog. He wasn't fast, he wasn't in but he
Speaker 4: will sit there and rock you. You know, he will
Speaker 4: blindside the shit out at you too, So you always
Speaker 4: got to keep your head on the swivel. So I
Speaker 4: look at at the tough guys even you know, like
Speaker 4: I said too, Randy Moss was a dog, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, because he was tough. Chris Carter, Michael Irvin,
Speaker 4: he will fight you all damn day too, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean. So I look at so many tough guys,
Speaker 4: but like, just skill everybody.
Speaker 3: And a dog.
Speaker 1: Man, Are you born with a dog or can you
Speaker 1: develop the dog? Because I'm sitting here looking at my
Speaker 1: seven year old daughter and I'm seeing some of this
Speaker 1: attitude and effort on the field right now. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we got dog in her?
Speaker 8: What?
Speaker 1: You know what, puppy My mom My mom told me.
Speaker 4: You know, when I was younger, she said, you know,
Speaker 4: you used to get your ass with you know, you
Speaker 4: wasn't you wasn't that tough. But I remember one time
Speaker 4: that I came home right and she made me go
Speaker 4: back out there and fight, you know, like you're gonna
Speaker 4: you're gonna go out there and fight.
Speaker 3: And I started developing, So yes, you can develop the dog.
Speaker 1: And you can develop dog.
Speaker 6: Yeah, help the dog development.
Speaker 3: Could you could be born into it too.
Speaker 1: T shirt that's shirt developed. It's a tie log teach shirt.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 4: I developed time and you get that confidence and then
Speaker 4: it's like when you realize that you got to believe
Speaker 4: in yourself. That was my whole thing, was always believing
Speaker 4: in myself with no matter what anybody thinks.
Speaker 1: That's that's what a dog is. A dog is someone
Speaker 1: who believes in himself no matter what the situation. The
Speaker 1: situation is against you, if the world is against you,
Speaker 1: still still think you're gonna do it? Is when you
Speaker 1: stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready.
Speaker 2: Next keep de leep on his favorite cornerbacks in today's NFLO.
Speaker 7: Who are some of the corners that you think are
Speaker 7: ballers right now? Pat?
Speaker 5: For sure certain that looked like his daddy was a
Speaker 5: cornerback and he grew up getting taught technique, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, which is really what happened. And he
Speaker 5: looked at exactly like that stinglea ball or his movement
Speaker 5: is crazy. He got great bass skills, man, Uh got
Speaker 5: that revis body. Yeah, he got that reason like in
Speaker 5: between a long guy be of long arms or you're
Speaker 5: still but when you see him in personally like oh
Speaker 5: sh that short doesn't really look And on TV good
Speaker 5: balance to as exactly man who else man them the
Speaker 5: top to them the top dogs. And yeah, Christian Gonzalez
Speaker 5: is a player too.
Speaker 1: He's fast.
Speaker 5: He's just sticky, straight, sticky. He like a he like
Speaker 5: in that sauce world. They're gonna have more strap games
Speaker 5: than pick games. You know what I'm saying, because you
Speaker 5: really they big corners. They always in position, so you
Speaker 5: don't even really want to mess with it, you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. So uh, Denzel Denzel, super athletic man,
Speaker 5: great movement, Get that ball.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. Who's the last? What is
Speaker 7: on Houston is another call.
Speaker 5: He get a lot of targets because of Stingley, so
Speaker 5: that allow him to make a lot of plays.
Speaker 7: You know what do you think about Moss White Boy Denver?
Speaker 7: I like mars Man.
Speaker 5: If you play on you play on the other side
Speaker 5: of Pat, You're gonna get picked on, just simple as that.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying. I don't care who you is.
Speaker 5: He makes plays, he make plays, bro, he always in position.
Speaker 5: He got very athletic man, great size. You see him
Speaker 5: in personal he probably bigger than me. Like I'm telling you,
Speaker 5: man got great size, great speed. He's like Seahorn, sticky coverage, Srny.
Speaker 5: Always always in position, Bro, always in position.
Speaker 7: I like Riley Mault. I love Riley as our number
Speaker 7: two corners. Now the game's changed, hadn't it.
Speaker 6: We played a lot.
Speaker 7: It's you know, what's something you hate about the game
Speaker 7: these days?
Speaker 5: I hate the illegal touching downfield, Like, come on, brother,
Speaker 5: Like we want points that bad that we can't even
Speaker 5: lay a finger on the hand after five yard like Bro.
Speaker 5: And then it's wishy washy because you let some guys
Speaker 5: do it, and I was one of the guys they
Speaker 5: actually let to be consistent.
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, Like you let guys do it, and then
Speaker 7: at the end of a game and third.
Speaker 5: Down, he's just a legal touch and holding, like Bro,
Speaker 5: that's the part of the game.
Speaker 7: It's you almost could call that on any play every play.
Speaker 7: You feel me. All you guys are just trying to
Speaker 7: cover your cheating up exactly.
Speaker 1: So it's just the best. The best guys are like
Speaker 1: the sneakiest guys that know how to get you low.
Speaker 7: They be grabbing, that's what keep?
Speaker 4: Did?
Speaker 5: He hold you low like a motherfucker period? Every play,
Speaker 5: every play? Bro, So I look at it. I used
Speaker 5: to look at it. I tell my high school guys
Speaker 5: and I work with and stuff like, I look at
Speaker 5: it like this. We on the time crunch here, you
Speaker 5: feel me. We only got about three and a half
Speaker 5: a hour window to be on this TV. Right, you're
Speaker 5: gonna call holding every fucking play like we don't got
Speaker 5: time for that shit. I'm a hold and hold and
Speaker 5: hold and keep on playing and eventually gonna be our way.
Speaker 5: He's just playing like that, like you can't call it
Speaker 5: every play, right, I'm establishing how we playing out here,
Speaker 5: not the refs, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Sole's that I mean, you might as well hold them
Speaker 1: because it's a hold calls better than a touchdown exactly.
Speaker 7: And if you do it consistently, they can't call it
Speaker 7: every play. They can't.
Speaker 6: Thanks for listening.
Speaker 4: Remember to tune in every Tuesday for a brand new
Speaker 4: episode and every Sunday for another Games with Names Highlight
