Speaker 2: I'm not feeling Jason right. Why not technicalities?
Speaker 7: I made a strawberry brownie and he said it's not
Speaker 7: a brownie. Yeah, it's because you haven't ate there before.
Speaker 7: They don't mean it's not a brownie. I could have
Speaker 7: made red Velby brownies. I could have made anything. They
Speaker 7: come in different t.
Speaker 6: I mean, also, just you give Zach so much crap
Speaker 6: for doing above and beyond on these bake offs, and
Speaker 6: then you were the one up guy.
Speaker 7: I just say it. It's a different type bron. They
Speaker 7: didn't say what type of brownie. They just said a brownie.
Speaker 4: So okay, no, but you understood that, like trying to
Speaker 4: make it a little fair. Yeah, I can't bring that much.
Speaker 6: Emmo.
Speaker 7: Well, I knew he was gonna bring it to the people,
Speaker 7: so I want to make sure I gave the people
Speaker 7: something they had taste.
Speaker 6: So did you buy it from Wegmans or what?
Speaker 7: No, I didn't buy it from but they need to
Speaker 7: be my bus away.
Speaker 6: All right. So we got a pretty fun show today, guys.
Speaker 6: We're talking about dynasties. Yeah, and specifically the Washington dynasties,
Speaker 6: and then what pieces here in Washington that have been
Speaker 6: established they kind of resemble that, or how we feel
Speaker 6: about the off season so far. Yeah, okay, So let's
Speaker 6: talk about the early stuff, right, So, like, what does
Speaker 6: a football dynasty look like? And obviously there's a couple
Speaker 6: of examples of that here in Washington, but you can
Speaker 6: kind of pull from murbround the league. Let's start with Yeah, Tanna.
Speaker 4: I started off, I think the obvious you know, those
Speaker 4: teams that has consistently won.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: You know I remember growing up. You know, I'm a
Speaker 4: big forty nine er fan. Yeah, so we had a
Speaker 4: dynasty back in those days. We actually had two quarterbacks
Speaker 4: that was a part of that. Uh, the first quarterback,
Speaker 4: Joe Montana, and then when he left, Steve Young got
Speaker 4: the you know the tail end of that.
Speaker 6: You know that work.
Speaker 2: Before I was even thinking about football.
Speaker 4: He think about the Pittsburgh Steelers and when they had
Speaker 4: I think that was like round the seventies. Yeah, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean, that was that was way before
Speaker 4: my time. I was born in seventies nine, so.
Speaker 2: I probably got they probably want they went to.
Speaker 6: Their last Yeah, both of us. I just looked like this, man,
Speaker 6: I mean, god on, how do I look like the
Speaker 6: oldest one here?
Speaker 4: And then you think about the Cowboys those years when
Speaker 4: they had their you know, that dynasty with the triplets
Speaker 4: and everything like that. So I just think the obvious
Speaker 4: question would be, I mean, the obvious answer would be
Speaker 4: just those teams that consistently are in contentions winning playoff games.
Speaker 2: I think the two teams that.
Speaker 4: We can think of now in this era would be
Speaker 4: the Patriots from from two thousand and one to twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4: And then you think about last but not least, it's
Speaker 4: the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's the dynasty type of When you talk about dynasty,
Speaker 6: I hear hear like a lot about like quarterbacks in
Speaker 6: those groups. Right. You mentioned the forty nine ers, obviously
Speaker 6: the Cowboys. Then the two dynasties now have a great quarterback. Yeah, Fred,
Speaker 6: you got anything?
Speaker 2: Well, when I think about dynasty, I got a chance.
Speaker 7: To sit down with Monk and Gary Clark, the whole posse,
Speaker 7: Ricky Sanders, and we was all sitting there dropping name too.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you who told me this information. I'm
Speaker 2: sitting there about a day so y'all don't hate.
Speaker 7: And I'm sitting there and I ask because we don't
Speaker 7: like we was a team. We played the game, but
Speaker 7: we didn't win at the amount that they did. So
Speaker 7: I asked the man. I was like, what made y'all
Speaker 7: different than the teams y'all played? And the first thing
Speaker 7: they all said to me, well, man, we was a
Speaker 7: football family and we got a chance to mature together.
Speaker 2: We got chances to grow together.
Speaker 7: The way we met ain't the way we left, and
Speaker 7: I think longevity it takes to have a dynasty, Like
Speaker 7: these players got to.
Speaker 2: Go through the good, the bad, the ugly.
Speaker 7: We're watching the Boston Celtics go win the championship right
Speaker 7: now because they lost two years ago, they lost the
Speaker 7: year before. Like you got to go through the ups
Speaker 7: and downs, and I think that's what most teams don't
Speaker 7: get a chance to do.
Speaker 2: You can only do that if you have a long
Speaker 2: stay at quarterback.
Speaker 7: That kind of secures everybody else's job and get in
Speaker 7: them chance to mature. But I think football families winning
Speaker 7: championship and football players go to Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4: Not to add to the question, but I will ask
Speaker 4: you this question. You're not considered the dynasty.
Speaker 2: Unless you win.
Speaker 6: You can't.
Speaker 4: You can't can't win a lot of games in the
Speaker 4: you know, doing the regular season and don't winning in
Speaker 4: the postseason.
Speaker 6: Right, So I guess.
Speaker 4: So you go back to the Buffalo Bills. They went
Speaker 4: there four times in a row.
Speaker 7: I still consider them a dynasty in their own right.
Speaker 7: I cannot take that away from Jockey Daga.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't take that away from Bruce Smill.
Speaker 4: I was just wondering because like you just mentioned, you know,
Speaker 4: the Celtics and.
Speaker 2: Their little run these last what four or five years.
Speaker 7: They kept going back and forth though, and they never
Speaker 7: got over the mountaintop. But you gotta lose to get
Speaker 7: over the mountain top, and we need time to lose together.
Speaker 2: And I think that's what we're seeing right now since we're.
Speaker 7: Staring from like from the bottom floor, and we understand that, right,
Speaker 7: we finally got a quarterback, we got the right owner ship,
Speaker 7: we got the we got the right head coach, we
Speaker 7: got everything. So now it begins. Now you have to
Speaker 7: start the story. This is chapter one.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, I think that's interesting because Tanner brings up
Speaker 6: the dynasties with the quarterbacks. You mentioned quarterback as well,
Speaker 6: But I think when you look at Washington's dynasty specifically,
Speaker 6: you know, like you know, nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty seven,
Speaker 6: nineteen ninety one, yeah, nineteen eighty one, they all have
Speaker 6: different quarterbacks, and so I think there's another element to
Speaker 6: constructing a dynasty, and that's good roster construction. That's kind
Speaker 6: of the things you talked about. You talked about football family.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna elaborate on that a little bit. It's like
Speaker 6: football family and like that word culture gets thrown around
Speaker 6: a lot, but like an identity, right, who are we
Speaker 6: what kind of players are we bringing in? And I
Speaker 6: think that that's something completely different. And can that model
Speaker 6: work in today's NFL? Do you think, Fred?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can because I'm watching it at Kansas City
Speaker 7: right now.
Speaker 6: But they got the quarterback though, that's the hardest.
Speaker 2: Part about it.
Speaker 7: But but here you could say we didn't have we
Speaker 7: had three different quarterbacks. But also how that happened was
Speaker 7: kind of different because think about Doug. Doug came because
Speaker 7: a quarterback got hurt, like we needed somebody to fill
Speaker 7: in a gap. Then you think about Joe Thaisman. Joe
Speaker 7: thaisman career doesn't end unless Lone Taylor hits him only
Speaker 7: a thirty five yard line. Like these to say cemented
Speaker 7: themselves and Mark Riffin like come on, like the most
Speaker 7: of your starting here.
Speaker 4: I think the one thing that stands out about the
Speaker 4: difference because I'm pretty sure we're gonna talk about the
Speaker 4: significance of our dynasties and I don't want to get
Speaker 4: a little too head, you know, too far ahead of
Speaker 4: the head, you know, for so check it.
Speaker 6: We on it.
Speaker 4: The difference about the dynasty that we had here in Washington.
Speaker 4: The one I guess you can say catalysts was dogs.
Speaker 4: The offensive line, yes, you know, beyond the quarterback. It
Speaker 4: was the Hogs because you actually went out there and won.
Speaker 4: There was the Hogs and Joe Gibbs. You already talked
Speaker 4: about those guys who have a name Joe Joe. I
Speaker 4: mean that's the foundation. I think the coaches. First, you
Speaker 4: gotta have the foundation. You gotta have that, you know
Speaker 4: in place when you have teams that have too many
Speaker 4: revolving doors.
Speaker 2: When it comes to.
Speaker 4: That position, that's the that's the top position, that quarter
Speaker 4: I mean that that head coach.
Speaker 2: If you don't have.
Speaker 4: The ownership, then the you know, the management part of
Speaker 4: it when it comes to the to the guys who
Speaker 4: have to hire all those guys in place, you can't
Speaker 4: find that. You can't have that head coach. So the
Speaker 4: head coach is vital to that also. But you know
Speaker 4: when you talk about those talk about those Washington years,
Speaker 4: it was the halls that stood out.
Speaker 2: Well, you did say something that just stood out.
Speaker 7: The main stays who was there through at three and
Speaker 7: there was do Joseph coach Gields.
Speaker 2: Do Joseph it was great offensive lineman, like they were
Speaker 2: the main stak.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I think the other thing is, like you know,
Speaker 6: we talk about, like, you know, the hiring of Adam Peterson,
Speaker 6: Why that's so important. I look at these teams. You know,
Speaker 6: they got Bobby Bethard, they got Charlie Castley, right, two
Speaker 6: of the best kind of front office executives of that era.
Speaker 6: They're in the Hall of Fame, both of them, and
Speaker 6: rightfully so, because they did a good job of identifying talent,
Speaker 6: getting that talent in there and building the backbone of
Speaker 6: the team, you know, whether it's to the offensive line
Speaker 6: or identifying Fragan acquisitions. And that to me is the
Speaker 6: thing that you talked about the coach. Obviously that's an
Speaker 6: incredibly important hire. But who's buying the groceries? You always
Speaker 6: talk about that, Fred right, And I think like that
Speaker 6: looking at it now, looking at the Washington in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty four, like the addition of Adam Peters is the
Speaker 6: guy that I get really juiced about because that's the
Speaker 6: guy that's going to establish the culture. So when you
Speaker 6: out to practice, when we watch those things, like you
Speaker 6: can see a common thread through all the players, much
Speaker 6: like these teams you know that were in Super Bowls. Pack.
Speaker 7: So what you're saying right now is what we all
Speaker 7: know about pretty much life. It takes everybody to be
Speaker 7: on point. It takes the front off as it takes
Speaker 7: a hit.
Speaker 6: It's a team though, you know, like you and you
Speaker 6: said this already, it's a team, right. So like you
Speaker 6: can have a great individual coach, you can have a
Speaker 6: great individual evaluator, but if they don't work well together, yeah,
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 7: Right, And it doesn't matter in these synergy. Without synergy,
Speaker 7: you have none foundation.
Speaker 6: So I think that that's the thing when I look
Speaker 6: at this relationship, I say, you know, do you have
Speaker 6: the right guy? Do you have your Joe Gibbs of
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four and Dan Quinn? And when you go
Speaker 6: to practice, like the energy, the motivation.
Speaker 7: I feel say, it feels like and we're talking about
Speaker 7: a coach that's been there, Like we're talking about a
Speaker 7: coach took a team to the Super Bowl with Matt
Speaker 7: Ryan Julio Jones.
Speaker 2: Yeah he's been there. He hasn't got over to hump.
Speaker 7: And I'm so happy he ain't got over the hump
Speaker 7: because you can check in his stats. No, coach has
Speaker 7: won a super Bowl in one place and we won
Speaker 7: another one in another one, So that tells me a lot.
Speaker 7: So I'm happy he failed in Atlanta, but also I'm
Speaker 7: happy he get a chance to learn from what made
Speaker 7: him fall short of getting to what he wants. And
Speaker 7: what I'm saying for him is he won't come anuity.
Speaker 7: He wants people to be able to be inter changeable,
Speaker 7: and this is his coaches staff, this is his players,
Speaker 7: and he understand if I'm successful this time, I'm going
Speaker 7: to lose coaches, and I need to be ready to
Speaker 7: lose coaches.
Speaker 2: So he got guys behind the guys.
Speaker 6: I think this.
Speaker 2: Setting yourself up for success.
Speaker 4: And then when you think about it also, I mean
Speaker 4: we talked about his stint in Atlanta as being a
Speaker 4: head coach and having an opportunity and losing, But just
Speaker 4: let's talk about how significant he has been to the
Speaker 4: Cowboys for the last few years. Yeah, I mean, we
Speaker 4: played this team, you know, every year, and we I'm
Speaker 4: not sure if you remember me saying this, but I
Speaker 4: used to say all the time, if this team has
Speaker 4: the defense, they're a different team. They always I mean,
Speaker 4: I mean, we always hear about you know, Romo, because
Speaker 4: Romo was to me better than people.
Speaker 2: I guess you can say gave him credit to be
Speaker 2: at your quarterback. He will.
Speaker 4: I liked Roma a lot, and I've always said they
Speaker 4: was short of a defense, and so you see him
Speaker 4: come in and implement his style to play defensively, and
Speaker 4: how much better they was.
Speaker 2: It was just about them getting over the hunt with
Speaker 2: that offense.
Speaker 4: And to me, I think you could still say that, Hey,
Speaker 4: even though a lot of us like that, which I'm
Speaker 4: a big Dak fan, I still feel like it's something
Speaker 4: that's missing there on the offensive side that didn't allow
Speaker 4: them to get over the hunt. But defensively, he brought
Speaker 4: that franchise back to those I guess you can say
Speaker 4: those those days where they was talking about possibly being
Speaker 4: championship contender.
Speaker 2: So when you see all that and you see his
Speaker 2: I guess you.
Speaker 4: Can say his resume up to this point that leads
Speaker 4: all us to believe that as long as he had
Speaker 4: the chance to come in here and implement that style
Speaker 4: to play and do what we've been seeing him so
Speaker 4: far this spring, we have a chance to be one
Speaker 4: of those teams.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Really, gladly you brought that up. Tanner because I
Speaker 6: think one of the things about you know, the nineteen
Speaker 6: ninety one team for example, because they had a great
Speaker 6: point differential. Obviously the offense is really good, but they
Speaker 6: were playing great defense, and people like I think they
Speaker 6: failed to understand or they often overlooked, like their role
Speaker 6: of defense in quarterback development, you know what I'm saying, Fred,
Speaker 6: and like how you can as a defense support a
Speaker 6: young quarterback and why that's so important in terms of
Speaker 6: what Tennis talking about for Jaden here.
Speaker 7: Well here the think about it is also that team
Speaker 7: was voted the number one team.
Speaker 6: Of all definitely top five. Yeah, yeah, no, they was voted.
Speaker 6: I mean it depends on the list you're looking at.
Speaker 6: But yeah, they were tremendous.
Speaker 2: So they mean there was a complete team.
Speaker 7: They played off each other, and what a quarterback couldn't do,
Speaker 7: the wide receiver would do, and when wi receiver couldn't do,
Speaker 7: the running back would do. They had versatility. They had depth.
Speaker 7: That's what nobody ever talks about. Everybody like talking about
Speaker 7: frontline stars. But they was three deep in every position
Speaker 7: and not just three deep with average players, with people
Speaker 7: ready to rise to their case.
Speaker 4: I was reading a stat and it's probably a couple
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, just we always talking about those old days,
Speaker 4: you know, with our franchise, and I.
Speaker 2: Don't know what got me on it. I think I was.
Speaker 4: On one of those AI them apps or whatever, and
Speaker 4: I put in you know, the history of our you
Speaker 4: know franchise and one of the championship years, we talked
Speaker 4: so much about the guy who Jersey they just retired.
Speaker 2: He had two picks that year.
Speaker 4: It was a guy had not it was a guy
Speaker 4: it was a guy had. So when you have a
Speaker 4: guy like you know, dal Green, who's considered to be
Speaker 4: one of the best at that position, so only half
Speaker 4: two but still was all pro, that's what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: You had a defense, You had a team. You didn't
Speaker 4: have just one guy here, one guy there. They had
Speaker 4: a team of guys. And that's why that defense was
Speaker 4: considered one of the stingiest defense alive.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I also think like in terms of the defense,
Speaker 6: like obviously very very dynamic, but offensively they were also
Speaker 6: very dynamic. Right. They had you know Mark Rippin, who
Speaker 6: who had the highest yards per completion of any quarterback
Speaker 6: in the NFL that year. So explosive offense. Right, they
Speaker 6: had a thousand yard rusher that had Art Monk, that
Speaker 6: had Gary Clark, both over a thousand yards. Yeah, And
Speaker 6: I look at him and I say to myself, like,
Speaker 6: is cliff Yeah, similar to that? Can he bring kind
Speaker 6: of that? You know, that dynamic offense development, because I
Speaker 6: think like when you look at it, there's a good defense.
Speaker 6: The offense was innovative and dynamic in terms of it
Speaker 6: was kind of that first kind of down the field
Speaker 6: passke attack. Have you you've been out to practice? Have
Speaker 6: you seen that from Clifford?
Speaker 4: All?
Speaker 7: Well, you got realized when it comes to coach Gibbs,
Speaker 7: he learned in San Diego under air carrier, I mean
Speaker 7: Eric Courriel.
Speaker 2: So therefore there was a push it down the field offense.
Speaker 7: And now that that offense, the air Courriel has developed
Speaker 7: into the air raid. All right, this is we're looking
Speaker 7: at it for sure, the second stage of that. And
Speaker 7: when we get Cliff Kingsbury, we got somebody this pretty
Speaker 7: much at that. I can be a head coach, I
Speaker 7: can be offense coordinator. I have the knowledge to do both. Also,
Speaker 7: I think he's one of those people he's gonna unlock
Speaker 7: simple talents. He's gonna take the first two best talents
Speaker 7: I think a wire receiver got a running.
Speaker 2: Back on a tight end.
Speaker 6: Gup, do you mean simple time?
Speaker 2: You know what?
Speaker 7: Like some people draft players and want them to be
Speaker 7: universally good at everything. When every player ain't universally good
Speaker 7: at everything.
Speaker 2: You can have a guy to.
Speaker 7: Hear this, a wide receiver that runs a four to
Speaker 7: two forty, but he's not good at running enemy read
Speaker 7: of rats. He's not good at going across the middle.
Speaker 7: And then I'm gonna ask him to do that over
Speaker 7: and over and over again. And no, I'm not gonna
Speaker 7: force development. I'm gonna do what you do well until
Speaker 7: I get you to the development point.
Speaker 4: Speaking of what some of the things that you're mentioning,
Speaker 4: it's something it sounds like what Terry just was talking
Speaker 4: about a couple of days ago about now you know,
Speaker 4: in certain offenses, he's one or the other.
Speaker 2: I'm either asking I'm either zye.
Speaker 4: With this offense, you're gonna have chances of where he
Speaker 4: lined up on the field that he could be x
Speaker 4: Z or the guys playing a slot. So that's gonna
Speaker 4: now put guys in your position on defense, you gotta
Speaker 4: come out. You gotta know who he is raise lining
Speaker 4: up at because of that offense and because of how
Speaker 4: they could be interchangeable within the offense.
Speaker 2: And then you think about it.
Speaker 4: That's why those guys were so successful offensively in Arizona.
Speaker 4: You know, Kyla had one of those amazing, you know,
Speaker 4: rookie seasons in Arizona, but it just wasn't the defense
Speaker 4: that couldn't stand up. So's it raised all our eyebrids
Speaker 4: just wondering now that he has not so much to
Speaker 4: really you know, control.
Speaker 2: For whole team.
Speaker 4: He don't have to worry about being a head coach.
Speaker 4: I'm worried about just this offense being elite. Could we
Speaker 4: see him really take this offense and take this team
Speaker 4: to where we're trying to be.
Speaker 6: Well, if Thursday's practice was an indication man that they
Speaker 6: were pretty sharp. Man look pretty good on Thursday. Anyway.
Speaker 6: The other thing I want to say is like Dan Quinn,
Speaker 6: you know, he's the head guy. That's something he embodies,
Speaker 6: like something he's all about. Right, He's kind of saying, like,
Speaker 6: what is your superpower as a player and how can
Speaker 6: we maximize that? And I think he went out and
Speaker 6: hired a staff. You know, we talked about ownership being good,
Speaker 6: Jim being good, and then kind of having a synergy
Speaker 6: throughout the organization. Like I think that that identifying that
Speaker 6: as something you want to be matriculates down to your
Speaker 6: offensive and defensive coaches.
Speaker 2: No, this team identity, this franchise identity.
Speaker 7: Like if you look at them, like if you watch
Speaker 7: the draft special and the stuff that came out on
Speaker 7: Commander's log.
Speaker 2: If y'all haven't seen anything, y'all go check that out.
Speaker 6: Great promo, great promo.
Speaker 7: This should really emmy, But it gives you an inside
Speaker 7: view of all right, we are all being held accountable
Speaker 7: and doing our job, but we kind of doing this
Speaker 7: all together the like I need your input to be
Speaker 7: the best me. And when you got that type of
Speaker 7: stuff going on in the build, I mean one track,
Speaker 7: one mind, one playing, one execution that gets you to
Speaker 7: where you want to be here. Usually we've seeing a
Speaker 7: lot of infighting. I want to do it this way. Nah,
Speaker 7: we should do it this way. Now they all understand
Speaker 7: what why and win And.
Speaker 4: I think this big yeah, And I think also too,
Speaker 4: And I'm not I'm not sure. We played the game
Speaker 4: and we might we might be a little biased. But
Speaker 4: if you look at what they're doing in Detroit with
Speaker 4: all those X players as coaches.
Speaker 2: Now, now look with what we.
Speaker 4: Have, like thirteen of these guys on this staff as
Speaker 4: ex players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that carries a lot of weight.
Speaker 4: Man. I mean, honestly, I'm not the one to sit
Speaker 4: here and say that I need a guy that played
Speaker 4: the game, but I sometimes you do cause I had
Speaker 4: those I had those intimate conversations with coaches like I
Speaker 4: need you to run this route this way.
Speaker 2: I'm like, have you ever rent that route against that coverage?
Speaker 4: Have you ever been in a situation in the middle
Speaker 4: of the game and had to adjust because of that?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 4: So I think that cares a lot of weight, and
Speaker 4: that shows you know where this game could be going
Speaker 4: when you have that kind.
Speaker 6: Of a style.
Speaker 7: That just like, if I'm going to get parenting advice
Speaker 7: from somebody, I'm not asking somebody with no kids. I'm
Speaker 7: asking somebody that got kids that didn't been through it. Like,
Speaker 7: I want to know how should I maneuver?
Speaker 2: How should I do this? I need somebody that been
Speaker 2: through the fire.
Speaker 7: So now, if you if you're around people that have
Speaker 7: been there, you trust what they say, like you trust
Speaker 7: what your grandparents say because you know they've been there,
Speaker 7: done that.
Speaker 6: Have you ever had a former player as a coach.
Speaker 4: You had Ike Ones, That's probably the only Probably was
Speaker 4: the only guy.
Speaker 2: Had no Ike and I had Keenan McCarthy.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, how was that?
Speaker 2: So it was fun for both of them.
Speaker 6: Ike was very one of those played in the same era.
Speaker 4: So me and Keenan played together two years prior to
Speaker 4: him being my coach?
Speaker 6: Was it taking? It wasn't fun to talk about it.
Speaker 6: Let's hear it. I'm becoming I love Keenan. He's my guy.
Speaker 4: I mean, I told you I grew up in Florida,
Speaker 4: so I watched him play with Mark Ronell. Him and
Speaker 4: Jimmy Smith put up numbers down there in Jacksonville. We
Speaker 4: get in the game, we're playing. I broke my hand
Speaker 4: that year. I come back probably nowhere near who I
Speaker 4: was the first four or five game before I broke
Speaker 4: my hand, and they had Edleman sticking me at corner.
Speaker 4: We're playing the Patriots, and I'm sitting here like, bro,
Speaker 4: dude is holding me every round. And you got to
Speaker 4: remind you, now, I'm probably like five or ten pounds
Speaker 4: overweight that year, and I'm.
Speaker 6: Like, bro, you beat the fucking I feel like every
Speaker 6: year you're talking about.
Speaker 4: So, Keenan, No, those years, those last year's, yeah, those
Speaker 4: two of those three of those last years, I was
Speaker 4: I was going I was going through it mentally, but honestly,
Speaker 4: and I won't even share what you why, but Keenan
Speaker 4: telling me ten, I want you to run this route
Speaker 4: this way. Keeny, you played this game. You can't do
Speaker 4: it when he's doing that. So all right, if I
Speaker 4: messed this up, and sure it's not mine, excuse me,
Speaker 4: my friends.
Speaker 2: Are gonna take care of that.
Speaker 6: This is a live oft.
Speaker 5: They can't hear it.
Speaker 6: They can hear this. They have, you know, the curse words.
Speaker 2: So I go on the game, I say, damn.
Speaker 4: Other than been holding me, I have this sprint right
Speaker 4: option play off for about two or three times.
Speaker 2: I say, you know what, I'm not finish ship there
Speaker 2: and shucking and jive with this dude.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna run through them, run through his face and
Speaker 4: if he can deal with he deal with tell me
Speaker 4: about it. I run through his face as I do it.
Speaker 4: I'm smart, bro, I don't want to do anything with
Speaker 4: my hands. I'm you know, as a receiver. I was
Speaker 4: one of those guys I'd rather drop the ball than
Speaker 4: try to do something with my hands to you and
Speaker 4: take what I'm doing bingo exactly. So I run through
Speaker 4: them and it just it cost me to kind of
Speaker 4: like take a step back and my hands go wide.
Speaker 2: Turn around ball, touchdown.
Speaker 6: We win the game.
Speaker 4: They said I pushed off. So before I get to decide, line,
Speaker 4: Keenan got his clip boy. He wanted to throw it
Speaker 4: up and I chewed him out and out we boys.
Speaker 6: I was like, you can't say I can't say that
Speaker 6: on this.
Speaker 4: You actually can literally, but but but longc my friend.
Speaker 2: Long long story short.
Speaker 4: Man, we at a bar. They better they better be
Speaker 4: able to take this French. But long story short. Leading
Speaker 4: to the off season, I get a call from somebody
Speaker 4: and they like.
Speaker 2: How are you? It cal like we're good.
Speaker 4: It's like, man, I think you need to get a
Speaker 4: call a call man because they don't they don't know
Speaker 4: who you are. They say, man, tanna so cool until
Speaker 4: eight and I was like, well, damn, I need to
Speaker 4: give him a call. And I gave a Cal a call.
Speaker 4: He was like, bro, I really appreciate this call. And
Speaker 4: when I got out their phone, I was like, damn,
Speaker 4: I may have just saved my job. They was questioning,
Speaker 4: can we this dude, because every time when he blows up,
Speaker 4: he blows up, and not just on the situation, because
Speaker 4: it's probably because they saw me react that way with
Speaker 4: him and they felt like with them, if he can't.
Speaker 2: Hold him, what do we have?
Speaker 6: You know what I mean? You know, I think that's
Speaker 6: tough as a former player because you got to come
Speaker 6: out of it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I think that's anxiety, Like the former players
Speaker 7: that become coaches hell anxiety because for the first time
Speaker 7: in their life, they see things, the feels slow, and
Speaker 7: they want you to do exactly what they say because
Speaker 7: they've been there and they've done that. So when you
Speaker 7: don't do it, you take the control away from them,
Speaker 7: like they've been controlling their destiny they whole life.
Speaker 6: But I also think it's like that's your guy, and
Speaker 6: I can't coach if you're my friend and like I'm
Speaker 6: trying to get you do something. I'm gonna treat you.
Speaker 2: Like a friend.
Speaker 4: I couldn't like a confident say as brothers as friends
Speaker 4: if I can't talk to you that way, and then
Speaker 4: tomorrow we forget about it and then come back to
Speaker 4: then like we have no relationship. We have no kind
Speaker 4: of you know, continuity when it comes to what we
Speaker 4: have or what we're trying to have with Jery Gray.
Speaker 7: Jered Gray was ex cornerback in this league for a
Speaker 7: long time, and we had a He had a relationship
Speaker 7: with us because, like he said, y'all keep me hiat,
Speaker 7: we keep the coach higat, but we can also get
Speaker 7: He played corner and Taylor tell you, we'll be in
Speaker 7: the game talking the whole time he's talking, and we'll
Speaker 7: be on his sideline, Like if I'm the con on
Speaker 7: on our sideline, I'll be like I'm trying to tone
Speaker 7: him out because he'll be like, he's.
Speaker 2: Thirty seven for sit right there. They finna run a
Speaker 2: dig right, don't you? Don't you move? You trust what
Speaker 2: I say?
Speaker 7: And I'm like, I gotta, I gotta, i gotta block
Speaker 7: him out. And then they come and they run a
Speaker 7: comeback and then I'm trying to jump a dig round.
Speaker 2: He like, I told you you should have played the comeback.
Speaker 3: You lied to me, he sent.
Speaker 2: He sent me up to face.
Speaker 4: Now, Jerry used to get on my nervous. I'll be
Speaker 4: saying right next to him, I'm like, cannot be a
Speaker 4: players and he talking to me like that. You know,
Speaker 4: in a minute, it happens, especially in the heat of battle.
Speaker 6: Man, I don't know if I ever was coached by
Speaker 6: a player, always coached by like old dude. I had
Speaker 6: Sean who plays, you had Sean college like that. But yeah,
Speaker 6: those guys are really smart. So let's get back to this.
Speaker 6: So in addition to all of these people that have
Speaker 6: been hired, right, another big addition is the new owner,
Speaker 6: Josh Harris, Right, And you need a guy at the
Speaker 6: top who's willing to kind of take care of everybody,
Speaker 6: like kind of say this is the standard. These are
Speaker 6: people that are going to implement the standard. And we've
Speaker 6: already seen kind of some of these changes around the
Speaker 6: building already talk about how important that guy is for
Speaker 6: supporting the rest of that tree, going down to the players.
Speaker 2: It's simple. We all human being in here, right, everybody
Speaker 2: human being? What you like. I don't think I didn't
Speaker 2: said this before.
Speaker 7: I don't think it's a such thing as bad kids,
Speaker 7: but I know it's bad parents, right, And if you
Speaker 7: got bad parents, you're gonna probably have bad kids. So
Speaker 7: it starts with the matriarchs. And this is where we done.
Speaker 7: That's pretty good my dad. They'll preaching right now. The
Speaker 7: thing about it is when it started from the top,
Speaker 7: everybody kind of takes that that feel and that role
Speaker 7: of that of that person with the road he's taking
Speaker 7: over this. This ownership is not only I'm finna come
Speaker 7: in here and change the way you feel about this.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna change the way we do everything and how
Speaker 7: we do everything and how we approach everything. We're gonna
Speaker 7: be very tedious and meticulous. We're gonna we're gonna do
Speaker 7: it like a family. And I think that's different. And
Speaker 7: now it's starting to bleed into everything. So I think
Speaker 7: ownership is everything because the fans, they're not just coming
Speaker 7: for the players if they don't want to support an owner.
Speaker 7: We have seen that y'all would not support owner if
Speaker 7: y'all don't want to.
Speaker 2: So I think it's about the whole picture. And I
Speaker 2: think this was changing right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah no, because honestly, man, I'm watching this show, you know,
Speaker 4: and we're big on watching shows.
Speaker 2: I'm watching that Clippers, Oh my god, and and and the.
Speaker 4: Clipper show shows you you know, and who knows. It
Speaker 4: could be a little fiction somewhere near it, but it
Speaker 4: but it talks about just the ownership and how it
Speaker 4: kind of trinkles down into everything that you do. If
Speaker 4: you don't have a guide place that's gonna lead us
Speaker 4: put us in position, you know when it comes to
Speaker 4: doing this thing things up top and in the office. Now,
Speaker 4: how high you just picked us to win on the court,
Speaker 4: and then now we're talking about the football fields the
Speaker 4: same way. You know, we we talked a lot about
Speaker 4: our ownership, and as players, we had nothing bad to
Speaker 4: say about you know, Dan, I love Dan to this day.
Speaker 4: I can't say anything bad about it.
Speaker 2: I've never been in the part of the other side.
Speaker 4: So when I look at what the Harris Company has
Speaker 4: been doing, Harris and his group, you could just see
Speaker 4: a group of guys that have been owners of the places, basketball, hockey.
Speaker 6: You know, this got this ain't no, this ain't no.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: I guess you could say his first rodeo and you
Speaker 4: can see it. I remember when I first heard that
Speaker 4: report about us having a f and how how we
Speaker 4: do things in the building that we found a found
Speaker 4: a love for so many years.
Speaker 2: You saw it.
Speaker 4: It's being changes immediately, you know, same way in the stadium.
Speaker 4: It's but so much you can do in our stadium
Speaker 4: and have it ready for our season.
Speaker 2: So but just to see these.
Speaker 4: Guys not on point and they spending the money investing
Speaker 4: in them back into their business so they can be
Speaker 4: one of those franchises and one of those teams that
Speaker 4: we all love from the top to the bottom.
Speaker 2: So I think that stands for something.
Speaker 4: And now it's all just us going out there and
Speaker 4: taking advantage of these opportunities that they've given this organization
Speaker 4: now the players and everybody, to go out there and
Speaker 4: play some good football.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think for me, it's just watching the reinvestment, you
Speaker 6: know what I mean, the ability to say, hey, we
Speaker 6: we're gonna redo the facility, We're redoing the practice fields.
Speaker 6: I'm supporting what Adam Peters feels he needs. We're getting
Speaker 6: new TVs for the coaches, new computer system, new film system.
Speaker 6: It's all new, and I'm not and I'm not afraid
Speaker 6: to write that check for you because I know this
Speaker 6: is important. I know this is the kind of support
Speaker 6: you need from me. And I think that's something that's
Speaker 6: really exciting. And that was always a criticism of Dan
Speaker 6: was that he wouldn't He would write checks for players contracts,
Speaker 6: but not write checks for infrastructure around the building, and
Speaker 6: that's the first thing that they started doing, right, complete renovation.
Speaker 6: So I think it's cool to see, you know, Josh
Speaker 6: Harris supporting Adam Peters, Adam Peter Peters, support dan Quinn,
Speaker 6: dan Quinn's staff supporting the players. And so let's talk
Speaker 6: about the players a little bit right now. Right, we
Speaker 6: got all of these guys returning, We got Terry, we
Speaker 6: got obviously John Deran b Rob all these guys, Like,
Speaker 6: how do they Sam Cosby, that's a great boyfriend. How
Speaker 6: do they all fit into this culture? And what is
Speaker 6: the expectation for them coming to this year?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, you know, I'm I'm not sure how
Speaker 4: many times you've been a part of something new, you know,
Speaker 4: being a being a red skin, because that's what we were.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We've I've had that at that door open a
Speaker 2: few times. It's been new.
Speaker 4: I think I had four court I had four head
Speaker 4: coaches while I was there, in those ten years. I
Speaker 4: think I had I had coach Gibbs, uh Zorn, Shanahan
Speaker 4: and then and then lasting not least I had.
Speaker 2: But we stomped.
Speaker 6: We was all right, We was all right that season.
Speaker 2: He's so happy. Look as a coach.
Speaker 7: He stumped the coach by the end of the game
Speaker 7: speech a story. I ain't gonna do this, but chrible me,
Speaker 7: you're not going to Hey, well we saw like a
Speaker 7: missile though. That first year we were six and two
Speaker 7: coming out the gate, and then we ended with eight
Speaker 7: and eight.
Speaker 2: How you start is how you finished. We was tough
Speaker 2: foolery at the time, but I track when you look
Speaker 2: at these guys who here.
Speaker 4: One of the things that I remember being a guy
Speaker 4: in that seat, being an old guy on the team,
Speaker 4: whether you are a star or not. When you have
Speaker 4: that new leadership, that new head coach, it, I guess
Speaker 4: it gives you something different than what you had. I mean,
Speaker 4: every year is a new year to rewrite the narrative
Speaker 4: about yourself, whether you're a pro bowler, all all, all pro,
Speaker 4: or whatever it is that you are as your position.
Speaker 6: You want to be on that level every year.
Speaker 4: But when you have a new set of eyes on you,
Speaker 4: you're kind of more I guess juiced up to go
Speaker 4: out there and really show these guys or why you
Speaker 4: still here and why they and why they was able to,
Speaker 4: you know, retain you as one of their guys. And
Speaker 4: I think that's what a lot of these guys are
Speaker 4: going through right now, and just knowing that. Look, first
Speaker 4: of all, you have a coach like no other. Dan
Speaker 4: Quinn is to me, We've talked to this guy on
Speaker 4: the sideline. He doesn't fit that that typical head coach model.
Speaker 4: Like he's one of those guys so much.
Speaker 6: He's approachable.
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys that want to listen and
Speaker 4: want to talk tell you what's going on.
Speaker 2: Like a lot of these coaches don't want to share
Speaker 2: nothing with you. They like, we did the enemy, you
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: So to half a guy like that already, I can
Speaker 4: see the difference in some of these guys, Like you know,
Speaker 4: they were talking to Terry a couple of days ago
Speaker 4: and he talked about how he do things in the
Speaker 4: offseason and this offseason he hasn't. He say, Man, he's hungry, he's.
Speaker 6: Willing to know.
Speaker 4: You have to be that way because these coaches don't
Speaker 4: know you, and what you did last year don't matter
Speaker 4: this year. So I think that's what a lot of
Speaker 4: these guys are going through right now, just knowing that, Hey,
Speaker 4: we got to prove of these coaches that were the
Speaker 4: same guys that they played against last year, and we're
Speaker 4: gonna do the same thing this year for them or
Speaker 4: even better.
Speaker 7: I think the best part about this is even with Peters,
Speaker 7: when he came in, it was few players.
Speaker 4: Under contract, players he didn't have to do a lot
Speaker 4: of firing, and it happened to be all of our
Speaker 4: best players were under contract.
Speaker 2: Indeed, players we didn't know about we're not.
Speaker 7: So it's like we cut the fat, kept the best,
Speaker 7: and added better players to those players.
Speaker 2: That we cannot.
Speaker 7: We're most definitely by roster configuration two games better, Like
Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: We're better in almost every position you could think of.
Speaker 7: We're deeper at cornerback right now, we have one of
Speaker 7: the best linebacker cruise. I'm gonna go out and said
Speaker 7: it right now, could be in the NFL next year.
Speaker 7: I think they're gonna be very good. Defensive line. We
Speaker 7: beefed it up. Offensive line. We got better at that position.
Speaker 7: Running back Austin Neckler, we got better at that position,
Speaker 7: wide receiver. We drafted got like we got better each
Speaker 7: in every position. So therefore, I think that leads to
Speaker 7: us taking that next step. Now, how good we're gonna be.
Speaker 7: We gonna see the tea. Don't know, but I think
Speaker 7: we got better.
Speaker 2: As a team.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, And I think that You know, when you
Speaker 6: look at those names, right, they kind of provide a
Speaker 6: good scaffolding, good foundation, Right. You got Terry, you got Jahn,
Speaker 6: guys that could be similar to that ninety one team.
Speaker 6: You got b Rob, a guy who's I think one
Speaker 6: of the most talented guys on the offense. But I
Speaker 6: really think I think he doesn't get the love he
Speaker 6: should get more. I think he gets you hear that
Speaker 6: report come out of camp though, like they didn't know
Speaker 6: how good he was. They were like, man, he catches
Speaker 6: the ball so much better than we thought.
Speaker 2: Because when you see how big he is, the first
Speaker 2: thing you think is this John.
Speaker 6: Reagan's Juli is a big old horse.
Speaker 2: You ever stay beside b Rob. He's huge.
Speaker 7: I don't know how he looks on TV to y'all,
Speaker 7: but he's huge. But he got south hands, very south hands.
Speaker 7: He could kisch the ball a lot, be able, and
Speaker 7: he never gets the props he deserved for his past partiction.
Speaker 7: He's great in past paticketball player and this is why
Speaker 7: it is gonna be good with him and Ikla giving
Speaker 7: each other spying each other out.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be a great marriage.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, And you talk about some of the free
Speaker 6: agent signings, and I think you know, we talked you know,
Speaker 6: you talked about Frankie Louver, you talked about Bobby Wagner,
Speaker 6: Zach Ertz, Austin Eckler. Obviously some of those guys are older,
Speaker 6: but I think when you're establishing a new culture, that
Speaker 6: become critical cornerstones and being like, this is how we
Speaker 6: operate as a commander, right, this is how we kind
Speaker 6: of establish our cultural identity in addition to being good
Speaker 6: football players.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think those guys always needed.
Speaker 4: You know, when you have a young team, it's best
Speaker 4: to go out there and get some of those older guys,
Speaker 4: great veterans that the familiar with how to play the
Speaker 4: game one and not just playing the game, but just
Speaker 4: familiar with the coaching staff of how they want you
Speaker 4: to come in here and set the tone. So you know,
Speaker 4: all I can do is reiterate some of the things
Speaker 4: I've been hearing. But it's crazy how you hear some
Speaker 4: of these guys talking about the other guys who's coming
Speaker 4: in that they are now added to the puzzle. Because
Speaker 4: now you don't have to worry about one guy being
Speaker 4: the leader. You don't have to worry about saying it's kind.
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how odd it was to you guys,
Speaker 4: but it was odd to me just hearing everybody say, well,
Speaker 4: John Allen, John Danada, our leader, spoke with Damn Jonathan
Speaker 4: want to be like four.
Speaker 2: Five, Yeah, yes, that's the leader, your leader three years.
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying to now, See, you have
Speaker 4: a wagoner. You have some of these guys that have
Speaker 4: they're a little more longer in the two.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 6: And to be able to go along with the other leaders.
Speaker 2: That's what you need. You don't you don't want to
Speaker 2: rely on one gal all the time.
Speaker 7: The fact is the leader in that building that says, here,
Speaker 7: look at my hand, look at these rings.
Speaker 6: Oh my god. I'm like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 2: My hands? Listen.
Speaker 7: I like a guy that says I've been there, done that.
Speaker 7: If you ain't did this, sit down and listen to
Speaker 7: me like this says everything to me. That's the standard.
Speaker 6: It's crazy though, when you talk to the guys, it's
Speaker 6: like it's Bobby Wagner and I was like, who would
Speaker 6: that be? I guess it'd be like Ray Lewis, you know,
Speaker 6: like that kind of Ingerson. He's like a Hall of
Speaker 6: Fame linebacker that's in the building with you. Yes, every
Speaker 6: young guys and everyone talks about him. But the guy
Speaker 6: I'm probably most excited about, most excited about just from
Speaker 6: the tape, it's Frank.
Speaker 2: Man's a dog man crush.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 2: I can't wait till y'all see this guy by all
Speaker 2: the energy, ball of passion.
Speaker 6: He's huge, physical, he looks good.
Speaker 2: In that number four. Damn. He gonna make you.
Speaker 6: Proud friend, shut out man, make you prown look good.
Speaker 2: Just a dying piece.
Speaker 6: Well, I mean for real, like talking about a middle
Speaker 6: linebacker who can rush line up a defensive end. I mean,
Speaker 6: watched those clips of him knocking helmets off offensive lineman.
Speaker 6: He's talking about a culture tone setter that can learn
Speaker 6: from a guy who's gonna be a Hall of famer.
Speaker 6: Like I just think it's fantastic.
Speaker 8: You know, are you talking Taylor? What about that draftee
Speaker 8: from Tearful? You didn't say that, Jordan McGee, that's what
Speaker 8: he looked with a linebacker.
Speaker 6: Looked like I was between us. I didn't want to.
Speaker 4: You know, friend, if you tell me anything honestly though,
Speaker 4: he's a guy put together. And then you're just talking
Speaker 4: about we talked about earlier about how Dan has gotten
Speaker 4: the coaches in there in case one of the coaches
Speaker 4: get a job elsewhere, you know that next guy A
Speaker 4: feeling that's how we we have at the linebacker position
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 6: I feel, you know, we just talked about this team
Speaker 6: a couple of years ago where that was the weakest position.
Speaker 4: Now you have youth, you have you have guys that
Speaker 4: that's been there, done and and and and Bobby and
Speaker 4: Louis and just to know, I mean, we don't even
Speaker 4: know how we're gonna use this young specimen. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: get to all those guys, all those guys to now
Speaker 4: sit back and learn and still be a key you know,
Speaker 4: implement to you know, having the success on that level.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm I'm excited, man. But yeah, don't be
Speaker 2: go snitching on me.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 2: Let me talk when I want to talk about the guy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So, I mean, that's a good segue. Tennis man
Speaker 6: crushed on Jordan McGee. Let's talk about the draft class.
Speaker 6: We'll save Jane Daniels for for in a second, But
Speaker 6: talk about the draft class, because I think it's the
Speaker 6: guys that remained on the roster are talk physical, smart, competitive, Right, Yeah.
Speaker 6: The guys that we brought in for agency are tough, physical, smart, competitive,
Speaker 6: and the guys we drafted are tough, physical, smart competitive.
Speaker 6: So I don't know if you can see there's a theme.
Speaker 6: Do you have a favorite guy of that group that
Speaker 6: you're like, Man, this guy embodies that to a t man.
Speaker 7: You know what, I fell in little with this draft
Speaker 7: Clay when I started to study then individual and realized
Speaker 7: they were the same player, just different positions.
Speaker 2: They have the same DNA, just different positions.
Speaker 7: Mike Sander Steel is a guy that came in as
Speaker 7: a wide receiver at Michigan play end up playing at corner.
Speaker 7: But also they say power for power could be the
Speaker 7: best player in college out so one of the best leaders.
Speaker 7: Jordan McGee who we were just talking about, he was
Speaker 7: one of the best linebackers in college that nobody talked about.
Speaker 6: A single digit a Temple so captain physicality kind of
Speaker 6: this undersized linebacker can play like almost a safety position.
Speaker 6: Really interesting player.
Speaker 2: And then you got being sent it a guy that
Speaker 2: literally walked on had to earn.
Speaker 6: He said his name right, now said.
Speaker 2: His name right.
Speaker 7: I'd like to call him so not. I really want
Speaker 7: to get a show man with like a kid with
Speaker 7: snot coming out. They know because send it hit them.
Speaker 7: But all of these guys have a DNA to them
Speaker 7: where they was giving nothing and they end up being
Speaker 7: leaders at these schools. They're telling me they only want
Speaker 7: certain guys, certain DNA, certain leaders. So guys that love football,
Speaker 7: all of these guys bleed sweat football.
Speaker 2: I think they found a DNA. So now it's let
Speaker 2: me know.
Speaker 7: Now I can literally go into the next year's drafting
Speaker 7: the next year's draft, and I can tell you who
Speaker 7: they gonna pick because of this year's draft.
Speaker 6: I see what type players think it changes. This is
Speaker 6: a little sidetracked. Do you think it changes because they've
Speaker 6: got the foundation.
Speaker 2: This is who they are. This is how he shop.
Speaker 7: If you go to the grocery store with your wife,
Speaker 7: how she shops that first day is gonna be how
Speaker 7: she shops that last day.
Speaker 6: Why you're so passionate about never changed that them?
Speaker 4: Because you know it's one thing of a coaching staff
Speaker 4: or a coach tell you this is what I'm looking for.
Speaker 2: The guys that don't fit this mold, they can go ahead,
Speaker 2: you know, see the dough you.
Speaker 4: Gotta when you got a coach, Joe Wick came in
Speaker 4: and said with us before they drafted anybody and say,
Speaker 4: we want a guy that wake up in the morning.
Speaker 6: He chose.
Speaker 4: He chose you violence. He want to, he want to,
Speaker 4: he want to run through your face. And so you
Speaker 4: sit back in the drive and you're like, damn, he
Speaker 4: chose violence. You watch every play, Damn he chose violence.
Speaker 4: Like every guy to a t, they want out their
Speaker 4: physical and that's relentless after the ball, doing on on
Speaker 4: their given position. And just one of those guys that
Speaker 4: fit the mold. So I couldn't dare say that these
Speaker 4: guys will get off of that. And because like you
Speaker 4: said before, they want those guys that because it's going
Speaker 4: to back up the other guy in case one of
Speaker 4: those guys get you know, like I say, go on
Speaker 4: somewhere else, or just be old enough to leave the door.
Speaker 4: They want to have that door open enough to say, okay,
Speaker 4: you could fill in that voice if.
Speaker 2: I lift something out too.
Speaker 7: Not only are these are great football players with great
Speaker 7: stories of where they came from, they also great people.
Speaker 2: I could say that about Jay Daniels.
Speaker 7: When I met him, I was just super shocked and
Speaker 7: how grounded he was, and what he said the other
Speaker 7: day says everything.
Speaker 2: They asked him.
Speaker 7: How does it feel to be the star quarterback in Washington?
Speaker 7: He would like, I ain't no star. I'm a rookie.
Speaker 7: I have yet to get there. That tells you where
Speaker 7: all of their heads are at. They're trying to be
Speaker 7: a part of something, not trying to beat to something.
Speaker 7: This this, this, that's good right there.
Speaker 6: Let's talk about Jane Daniels a little bit. You've been
Speaker 6: out of practice.
Speaker 2: Yes, I am. What do you think I think we
Speaker 2: got a chance to dance now? I have been there
Speaker 2: for a while.
Speaker 6: You make that up right now?
Speaker 7: No, a chance to dance mean I can put my
Speaker 7: players to the to the middle of the table and
Speaker 7: we might can win this thing. Everything starts with a quarterback.
Speaker 2: You just made that up.
Speaker 6: You just made that up right now? What are you
Speaker 6: talking about? What you expect?
Speaker 2: I said this, said Church three weeks ago. You had
Speaker 2: a chance to dance. I'm just saying, when you got
Speaker 2: a quarterback, rookie or not talk to us.
Speaker 7: We see with the Texans it gives you a chance
Speaker 7: to win, all right, we got an offensive line, we
Speaker 7: got wire receive what we got positions.
Speaker 2: It gives you a chance to win.
Speaker 7: What I like about danis I mean Jane Dames is
Speaker 7: nothing seems to be too big for him.
Speaker 2: I do like that, Like, nothing seems to be too
Speaker 2: big for him. And it also tells me with that and.
Speaker 7: Him not taking hisself too seriously, we got somebody their
Speaker 7: feet will stay to the ground even if they have success.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I agree. I think like from a
Speaker 6: technical standpoint, you look at the footwork, look at the mechanics,
Speaker 6: look at his understanding of defense, look at the work ethic.
Speaker 6: It's all kind of there for you. And then again
Speaker 6: the mentality seems to be the right thing, and again
Speaker 6: it kind of fits. That all fits, but it fits
Speaker 6: with that vision, right, smart, competitive, tough, got receiver Luke McCaffrey, smart, competitive, tough,
Speaker 6: like it's all there for you. And so I don't know,
Speaker 6: I've just been really juiced about his process. I think
Speaker 6: there's a long way to go for him. What you
Speaker 6: got to say is a lot in the building. Last
Speaker 6: guy out I know, but like John Beck, so that
Speaker 6: that's my guy and that's my guy. I know it
Speaker 6: ain't no John big Jersey is in Hire. But by
Speaker 6: the way, and there shouldn't be Logan Logan loves John B. Man.
Speaker 6: He looked out for me when I was young guy.
Speaker 6: That's why I got a lot of respect for him.
Speaker 6: So tell everyone, I mean, so everyone knows, like when
Speaker 6: you come in you're rookie, you're trying to get reps.
Speaker 6: He would stay after and throw with me every day
Speaker 6: for twenty minutes. We'd come in on Monday when we'd
Speaker 6: have to be there, we'd run through the whole game.
Speaker 6: You in, dude, he was. He got me right and
Speaker 6: again seeing that prep, seeing that work ethic, so again,
Speaker 6: like it's important, you need it. But this isn't a
Speaker 6: sure success. And that's kind of what we're talking about
Speaker 6: with Jaydon, Like he's doing all the right things, so
Speaker 6: got to see it happen. But we're we're excited about him,
Speaker 6: for sure.
Speaker 2: I'm very excited about it. And I can't sit here
Speaker 2: and say that enough.
Speaker 4: I just think too, as a guy who've seen that
Speaker 4: so many times here just like these fans, I'm pretty
Speaker 4: sure they tired of this seeing or hearing us say
Speaker 4: that are you going to hype you up until we
Speaker 4: can't hip you up no more. And I don't want
Speaker 4: to be him. No, I don't want to be you know,
Speaker 4: shoot you know, you know, jump in the block.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 4: I want to allow these guys to all, you know,
Speaker 4: show us who theyre going to be. You feel what
Speaker 4: I'm saying?
Speaker 6: No, I know, yeah, I got you.
Speaker 4: Don't don't give me cursing any people who these people
Speaker 4: might So I got to say something about.
Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm sorry, sorry.
Speaker 7: Because I might say I'm the filthy mountha pick the
Speaker 7: fieldy mouth, gut out like yeah, it's free, it's move.
Speaker 2: No, it's not, it's not rethink that.
Speaker 6: No, I just don't have a camp.
Speaker 2: I don't have a big hole. Look my vote camera
Speaker 2: in money Bee.
Speaker 5: I'm okay with that.
Speaker 6: It's not huge, that's no secret. Yeah. So I think
Speaker 6: it's uh. I think we're all really excited. We talked about,
Speaker 6: you know, the whole tree got the quarterback, which might
Speaker 6: be the peace moving forward, which are all excited about.
Speaker 6: But we gotta be patient. I look at like, look
Speaker 6: at san fran when I was there in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 6: they did a very similar thing, but a bunch of
Speaker 6: cultural free agents drafted very similar in the draft. Obviously,
Speaker 6: Adam Peters was there and it still took some time.
Speaker 2: Now, don't take time.
Speaker 6: They are where they are because they made good decisions.
Speaker 6: I look at the Detroit Lions the same thing. They're
Speaker 6: one of the best teams in football because they made
Speaker 6: smart draft choices. They brought in the right for agencies,
Speaker 6: they made the right investment at quarterback. All those things
Speaker 6: got to hit. But this seems to be the formula
Speaker 6: to kind of establish a dominant roster.
Speaker 2: And don't worry about this fan base. This fan base
Speaker 2: is a oven cooking fan base.
Speaker 7: It takes a while. Took Grandma, Grandmama's cooking. See logan
Speaker 7: is from the microwave Society. I am he won't he
Speaker 7: is done now the TV dinner it comes with a
Speaker 7: show and everything. But Grandma put love in that cooking
Speaker 7: and it takes a little time.
Speaker 6: All right. So because I'm such a microwave society guy
Speaker 6: and you're such a baking guy, let's get into the
Speaker 6: bacon baker guy.
Speaker 2: I want to say this again. My scraull be every brown.
Speaker 5: What is it?
Speaker 7: Scrawl scrawl Mississippi scrawlberry Browns was not allowed to enter
Speaker 7: the contest.
Speaker 6: So this, yeah, revolts, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So they I just.
Speaker 6: I just think it's so ironic because you always complained
Speaker 6: to Zach that he does something not in the parameters.
Speaker 2: Let me tell y'all what he does.
Speaker 7: Why you get contest in the office and we do
Speaker 7: a pie he brings He gets in there and pulls
Speaker 7: a torch out of his pocket.

Speaker 2: The top of that's too much.
Speaker 5: You need to get it.
Speaker 2: Puts that on the ex Yeah, he brought a support
Speaker 2: from need.
Speaker 6: Several guys were talking to each other, Nice, here, okay,
Speaker 6: here we go, Here we go. What do you gotta say?
Speaker 9: Look, all I'm saying is it was such a compliment
Speaker 9: that you brought two different flavors of Brian because you
Speaker 9: know what it's like.
Speaker 6: You say, you're going into a boxing.
Speaker 9: Match and you're going to begin in the middle ring,
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden your opponent brings your manager
Speaker 9: out and you're, all of a sudden you're fighting two
Speaker 9: on one.
Speaker 2: No, you're not, And what it.
Speaker 6: Means, it means you're not you're scared. Bread I brought
Speaker 6: in front of people.
Speaker 2: People share with the people.
Speaker 6: We still have it.
Speaker 7: I got the cookbook, the Book of Smooth. It was
Speaker 7: handed down from like five generations of smooth, and he
Speaker 7: was in there. I'm like, oh, scrawby every browned. I
Speaker 7: think I put it out page one O seven stopped.
Speaker 5: Dude, you.
Speaker 6: Only sweat. You only sweat when you're nervous. So you're
Speaker 6: nervous right now.

Speaker 6: you think I'm being hard on Zach. No, you wasn't hard.
Speaker 6: I was hard, always talking. That's my guy. I wouldn't win.
Speaker 2: I was hard on that win. I will say, can't
Speaker 2: love slim fast shakes. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I don't think he sins bread.
Speaker 2: I will say.
Speaker 6: I will say, Zach comes in pretty harsh on you,
Speaker 6: though sometimes I like it.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a cornerback. We're used to that somebody
Speaker 2: loving us one day, hate.
Speaker 4: Us to the I think I gave him the right
Speaker 4: amount of love hate type of thing that he got

Speaker 7: bacon to me is effortless. All right, I'm born in Mississippi.
Speaker 2: I wake up.
Speaker 6: If we do this every day, you're amazing. Then why
Speaker 6: are you lost twice in a row.
Speaker 7: This is why I lost twice in a row, because
Speaker 7: when we first start this bacon thing, I'm just blowing
Speaker 7: him out time at the time.
Speaker 2: Now I got it, run everything. And Ryan set me
Speaker 2: down to say we need to make this little like

Speaker 5: Mixed it saying what you got?
Speaker 2: What you got?

Speaker 4: Him.
Speaker 6: You know he stopped talking.
Speaker 2: He used a frying folks.
Speaker 6: What he used to make them all right, Tanna, we
Speaker 6: got It's tight. It's tight. It's really tight. It's tight
Speaker 6: with me. We got what we got.
Speaker 2: I like both.
Speaker 6: Okay, you like both, But do you like one more
Speaker 6: than the other? I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't tell the difference. I mean my taste, it
Speaker 2: ain't working to day.
Speaker 6: They taste the same, they do.
Speaker 2: It's a vote for gold and burguning. That's a vote
Speaker 2: for gold.
Speaker 6: It's a zero vote. I will say the gold the bird.
Speaker 6: The gold tastes a little bit more traditional. Yes, I
Speaker 6: think the red has some dark chocolate in it, which
Speaker 6: gives it a little bit of a richer flavor. So
Speaker 6: kind of whatever you're into, if you're into being fanning,
Speaker 6: I like to be in traditional. I think I'm gonna go.
Speaker 1: Gold, like I think so Logan for the same reasons
Speaker 1: as you. The Burgundy was a little too freaky, like
Speaker 1: I like my big Goods normal. I like my big
Speaker 1: like big Goods.
Speaker 6: Have seen the story before.
Speaker 2: We got gold as friends, so we know.
Speaker 6: But if you had some ice cream with that, with
Speaker 6: that red one, I think that I think it's a
Speaker 6: little bit higher Brown's. It's a little bit higher quality.
Speaker 11: Burgundy would be in a restaurant. Yeah, I think would
Speaker 11: be in a restaurant, Gold would.
Speaker 2: Be in my mama's crew. Who would you rather eat with?
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: You can't politic for your brown Let it go, Let
Speaker 6: the people decide. Friend, all right, Jason, Jason, you're you're
Speaker 6: our best taster. What do you got?
Speaker 12: Yeah, so you already know. I like the dark chocolate, yes,
Speaker 12: and I like the bitterness. It's a little more fluffier
Speaker 12: to me.
Speaker 13: The other one like almost collapse on itself, a little bit,
Speaker 13: a little dense.
Speaker 12: Right, So I'm going with Burgundy.
Speaker 14: Burgundy, all right, y'all the boot this man, this man,

Speaker 2: want to do a Q and A for y'all. Y'all
Speaker 2: raise your hands.
Speaker 1: I will come with the mic, and y'all could ask
Speaker 1: these gentlemen any question you guys have.
Speaker 2: So who's first? Don't be shy now, grandmother took me there.
Speaker 12: Keep it down away from that up there.
Speaker 2: It was just I was in the kitchen with my grandmom,
Speaker 2: you know, summer after summer in there.
Speaker 6: Two things.
Speaker 2: Watching her with the skilly.
Speaker 13: You guys have watched Jeremy Chin and Kawan Martin in
Speaker 13: the backfield they together.
Speaker 7: I think Jeremy Chen is you know, y'all got realized
Speaker 7: the year that Chase Young one Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2: He was in second.
Speaker 7: He went through a couple of injuries over there in Carolina.
Speaker 7: But first of all, he's huge. He's a huge man.
Speaker 2: Second of all, he's playing with his head on fight because.
Speaker 7: He got something to prove. Like nothing like a desperate
Speaker 7: man to get you there. And Kwan Morten, did you
Speaker 7: see that pick behind the back the other day? Now,
Speaker 7: I had some great picks, I ain't had one like
Speaker 7: that one right there, but I will line put a
Speaker 7: twenty seven on there and say it was me.
Speaker 2: There was a great interception right there. I'm excited about
Speaker 2: both of them. I saw him.
Speaker 4: I saw one of the plays too where Kwan broke
Speaker 4: up the ball and Jeremy came in and.
Speaker 2: Picked the ball up.
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm mixed. I'm missed that about what they
Speaker 4: can be. And and you alluded to the first day
Speaker 4: we got a chance to sit down with Chin. He
Speaker 4: he talked like a guy that you know, he's about
Speaker 4: his business. Yeah, very He's very motivating and he has
Speaker 4: something to prove. So I'll be looking looking forward to
Speaker 4: him going out there and making big plays this year.
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna give you a nerdy football answer because
Speaker 6: I'm a nerdy football person. Okay. So basically, like this
Speaker 6: Stallus defense is really it is really versatile, right. They
Speaker 6: do a really good job of moving pieces around. They
Speaker 6: get guys that can play in the box, play in
Speaker 6: the post. Both these guys have moved all around the
Speaker 6: defensive formation. So the one time Jeremy is the dime linebacker,
Speaker 6: one time Kwan's the dime linebacker, one time Kwan's the nickel.
Speaker 6: The flexibility makes it really hard to diagnose and digest coverages,
Speaker 6: and it's really good to have the flexibility to have
Speaker 6: players that can match up with tight ends, fit runs,
Speaker 6: but also play post safety. So I think that's what
Speaker 6: you're looking at with both those guys, and I think
Speaker 6: they understand, you know, they mentioned Jeremy Chinn being a
Speaker 6: big guy, Like, it's really good to have a staff
Speaker 6: that understands how to utilize that body type at a
Speaker 6: light level. So I think like all of that stuff
Speaker 6: gets gets me really excited for that group specifically. And
Speaker 6: then Joe Witt and what he's been able to do
Speaker 6: in terms of helping every defensive back he's ever coached
Speaker 6: have ball production. Both these guys I think are in
Speaker 6: for a big year.
Speaker 3: Yep, round of applause for Matt. Great first question, Mac
Speaker 3: m a c.
Speaker 6: That was good, Matt, it is on.
Speaker 2: You can hear me right.
Speaker 5: Okay, we got another question.
Speaker 2: We got Paul right here with another fan question.
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, this is my fiance.
Speaker 2: We're getting married later.
Speaker 6: This congratulations relationship. He's a Baltimore fan.
Speaker 3: Every year I try and tell her this is the year.
Speaker 6: Can you explain to her why this is the year
Speaker 6: they're going to be Baltimore right, future wife and that's
Speaker 6: why this is the year for us this friends and Jones,
Speaker 6: good dang.
Speaker 2: You know how you get a new car.
Speaker 7: You're sitting there for the new Cosmail and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 7: this is the one right here, Well, this is the
Speaker 7: one right here. He has taken a lot of stuff
Speaker 7: from you for the last twenty years, maybe fifteen because
Speaker 7: the Ravens been so good everything been going your way.
Speaker 2: You shame and make Christmas just shame and make New
Speaker 2: Year with baby. It's your time. You understand me, it's
Speaker 2: your kind of time.
Speaker 6: Yea.
Speaker 2: With all that being said, Baltimore's is our favorite cousins.
Speaker 2: That's Fred would say. So you know he's one of
Speaker 2: those guys.
Speaker 4: He's the only child, so you have to understand why
Speaker 4: he acts the way you at I do because when
Speaker 4: those cousins come over, he gives them hell. So that's
Speaker 4: why you know we're gonna give Baltimore hell before for
Speaker 4: those reasons.
Speaker 1: Big shout out to Paul. Congratulations on the engagement.
Speaker 14: Paul.
Speaker 2: Yes, she will be a Commanders fan.
Speaker 6: Soon enough, she would be a commander and soon.
Speaker 2: The question is where you're gonna leave the kid to?
Speaker 2: Are you leading him to wash it out?
Speaker 3: He leave me? Yeah, there, we go go ahead and
Speaker 3: get a size small shirt for the baby too.
Speaker 6: She's like, y'all put me on the spots.
Speaker 3: Next time we have Mike right here, super fan?
Speaker 2: All right, Mike, what's up?
Speaker 10: So I was like, I'm a huge fan of like
Speaker 10: Emmanuel Forbes, and like, I know, like maybe he went
Speaker 10: too early in the first round year, but I want
Speaker 10: to know, like what, like, what have you seen with
Speaker 10: our coaching staff with this this guy, Like I feel
Speaker 10: like we put him in the slot or if we
Speaker 10: put him as a kick return or something like what
Speaker 10: do you see you with Emmanuel Farbes? I feel like
Speaker 10: there's something cool happening there.
Speaker 2: Let me let me start before Fred talking about this guy.
Speaker 4: You know, one of the things about guys like Emmanuel Forbes,
Speaker 4: you can't just quit on him, you understand. I mean,
Speaker 4: he's a guy that has a lot of potential. Yes,
Speaker 4: he's a smaller guy. You know, Fred talked about how
Speaker 4: small he was when he came in. I don't think
Speaker 4: Fred was as small as him, so let me put
Speaker 4: that out there. But he has a lot of talent.
Speaker 4: His skill set is through the roof. I think when
Speaker 4: you look at some of the things that he went
Speaker 4: through last year, it was because he wasn't being put
Speaker 4: in the best position to succeed.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 4: He didn't have a lot of help from the guys
Speaker 4: that was out there, and at times they just say, hey,
Speaker 4: you have all these skill sets, you a ball, go
Speaker 4: out there and make a play, which that's not the
Speaker 4: way you play football.
Speaker 2: I think this year should be a year of improvement.
Speaker 4: You think about when we had full of his first year,
Speaker 4: full of got this mant on his out there, we
Speaker 4: got the week out the week before you know it,
Speaker 4: he was the guy that led the team in picks,
Speaker 4: went over to Kansas City and won the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: and did the same thing.
Speaker 6: So give him some time, give.
Speaker 2: Him some time to mature, give him some time to develop.
Speaker 4: And I think this year in this defense, if you
Speaker 4: allow him to get comfortable, if you allow him to
Speaker 4: play relax, if you allow him to get some of
Speaker 4: the things that Joe Witt has talked about how he
Speaker 4: does with his defensive backs, he could go out there
Speaker 4: and be the guy that we saw out there and
Speaker 4: what we.
Speaker 2: Played for Missippi State.
Speaker 6: Yo. I knew he wanted to talk about him.
Speaker 2: He could be one of those guys that we see
Speaker 2: that did some of the things that he did in college.
Speaker 2: This year.
Speaker 4: I think the second year is always the year to
Speaker 4: see can that guy, you know, turn the curve or
Speaker 4: be a little better than what he was last year.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I can talk about this all day long.
Speaker 7: You know it's close to my heart right here. But
Speaker 7: let's just be honest. Let's look at the facts. I'm
Speaker 7: a factual guy. You tell me the facts, I tell
Speaker 7: you the outcome.
Speaker 2: Can't help aloud, right, I can't even what are you doing?
Speaker 2: You just said that? Anybody you just made you say
Speaker 2: you make up?
Speaker 6: They all lie.
Speaker 2: Hey, they didn't get mad because I know.
Speaker 7: A lot of Why Why are the giants called the
Speaker 7: giants because it's giant Bilders in New York.
Speaker 2: I checked this out.
Speaker 7: Marion Forbes had a teacher from the map to coaching
Speaker 7: him last year.
Speaker 2: All right, do you hear me?
Speaker 7: A high school coach against a J Brown. They could
Speaker 7: have been in us get hit by that truck that day.
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, you show me who
Speaker 7: your coach is, and I show you what type of
Speaker 7: player you is. And that's the end of the date.
Speaker 7: My man had no direction, so he ran off the road.
Speaker 7: It's happy now he has a coach with some direction.
Speaker 7: Watch him stay on the interstate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, when you watch Ota practices, he's looked really good.
Speaker 6: Look really, I think like Theft's point, like he's got
Speaker 6: more structure. You can tell there's ruled out the defensive backfields,
Speaker 6: communicating way better. So all those things. I think that
Speaker 6: whole group, I think Benjamin Sainting, Jews Skwan. Yeah, Jeremy
Speaker 6: Chin are gonna be playing much better football this year,
Speaker 6: no doubt.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Mike.
Speaker 2: Great question.
Speaker 6: Get a round of the ploss for Mike, Mike.
Speaker 2: Shit, good brownie eating all right.
Speaker 1: Next up, we got brother Rock right here. He got
Speaker 1: a question for you guys. Go ahing, bro, I'll stand up. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'll make this easy.
Speaker 15: So I watched quarterback Daniels in college and he was
Speaker 15: taking RG three type hits.
Speaker 6: It scares me. We got this shiny new quarterback.
Speaker 15: Yeah, have the coaching staff and working with him on
Speaker 15: getting down, getting out of bounds, throwing the ball away,
Speaker 15: and not taking these vicious hints.
Speaker 4: And I've seen him taking that's a great that's a
Speaker 4: great I mean no, we talked about this earlier this year.
Speaker 4: Great quot, I mean, great question. Look, so it's a difference.
Speaker 4: Though you talked about the RG three hits. I think
Speaker 4: the difference between his hits and RG three RG three
Speaker 4: you know, how to get down at times, the kids
Speaker 4: said when he was taking those hits, he was just
Speaker 4: trying to do a little too much, trying to trying
Speaker 4: to make up, trying to make a play, when he
Speaker 4: should have just got down.
Speaker 2: I think you learn from those, you know.
Speaker 4: I think when you're a guy like Jaden for some
Speaker 4: of the things that I've seen this far, with him
Speaker 4: just speaking in front of the mic and being in
Speaker 4: front of you know, that that that camera, he knows
Speaker 4: what's at State, and I'm sure those coaches are gonna
Speaker 4: let him know, like live for.
Speaker 6: The next down.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: I think he has a little more of a Lamar
Speaker 4: Jackson start of running yea than RG three. We played
Speaker 4: with RG three, that boy was b lying fast and
Speaker 4: when he got the top gear, he couldn't slow down.
Speaker 6: He didn't stop, he couldn't stop.
Speaker 4: So when you look at Jaden Daniels a little bit,
Speaker 4: he's a guy that he's a little more elusive than RG.
Speaker 4: But it's still yet we have to see him be
Speaker 4: able to be out there amongst those guys and see
Speaker 4: what type of decision making what he do. So I
Speaker 4: think he'll be a little better with it, but we're
Speaker 4: so far ahead of that right now or behind that
Speaker 4: we don't know until he get out there and really
Speaker 4: being live action or see him in live action.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: And also I think that like as a coach, you
Speaker 6: can kind of impact when he's going to be aggressive, right, Like,
Speaker 6: if I'm calling a quarterback run on fourth and one,
Speaker 6: I want him to be aggressive and put his head
Speaker 6: down and go get it. They did that a lot
Speaker 6: at LSU, and a lot of his big hits are
Speaker 6: happening in like short yard in situations. If I'm Cliff Kingsbury,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna try and avoid like sending him on a
Speaker 6: quarterback power up the middle of the defense, right Yeah,
Speaker 6: I don't want him in a car crash. So again,
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of a play style element too
Speaker 6: there in terms of how I'm calling the game. Also,
Speaker 6: I think, just like Tande pointed out, you can you
Speaker 6: can help him understand when and when not to make
Speaker 6: those big kid decisions. Just like he's making good decisions
Speaker 6: in the pocket of OTAs, he can make good decisions
Speaker 6: as a runner. And I think informing him and educating
Speaker 6: him and when to be super competitive and when to
Speaker 6: chill out, I think it's also gonna be really impactful
Speaker 6: to his his hit taking prowess.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like he survived in the SEC.
Speaker 7: What he's gonna learn now is I have to protict
Speaker 7: myself why playmaking Like in the sec. I think he
Speaker 7: just play made and say I take what happens right now.
Speaker 7: He's gonna learn when the slide, when to go out
Speaker 7: of bounds, when to risk it all. But I hate
Speaker 7: to say this. You can't kill his playmaking ability. Why
Speaker 7: telling him to take care of himself? Like it's a
Speaker 7: thin line right there, Like we watch patrim Holmes water
Speaker 7: his way the first downs all the time and take shots,
Speaker 7: but we gotta just trust him.
Speaker 2: At one point we're gonna get to the point where
Speaker 2: we could trust him.
Speaker 4: I think it'll take time too, because being a receiver
Speaker 4: in this league for fourteen years, you understand when to
Speaker 4: pick your battles. It was at times when I got
Speaker 4: the ball and I'm like, look here, if I can't
Speaker 4: get another yard without getting my head, my bell rung,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get out to bound.
Speaker 2: And as a quarterback, he touching that ball every every place.
Speaker 4: So you want to be able to take less hits,
Speaker 4: to be able to go out there and say, I
Speaker 4: want to be able to function, you know, at the
Speaker 4: caliber they want me to be at for that next place.
Speaker 4: So he understands when to take, you know, take on
Speaker 4: that approach and say I need to go out there. Hey,
Speaker 4: it's fourth and short. I need those three yards. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm either gonna get it or we're gonna be on
Speaker 4: the bench. And then I think that's gonna come with
Speaker 4: the time of him playing, being out there and being
Speaker 4: in those settings.
Speaker 6: Yeah, at question, so I think he's pretty malleable too,
Speaker 6: like Robert had like a stiffness to him. Yeah, so
Speaker 6: when he took hits, he absorbed every ounce of it. Yeah,
Speaker 6: he's got like some flexibility and is also important to note.
Speaker 1: Great question, Bud, Great question, No Rock, And I think
Speaker 1: that will end the first ever Command Center podcast live show.
