44
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 8: and he got in the background and he confired that

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,840

00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,360

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,880

00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: throw again on first down, where do we sten a

50
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:26,560

51
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: A manual?

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 4: Forbes cutting back and down kids himself up at the

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 4: thirty six short lines. There are two flags down, but

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 4: as it's downs down washing to that's two picks.

55
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: A little bit of pressure. Oh no, this play action

00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: pass blue. What you see here?

57
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 8: I just see a guy making him play. We knew

58
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 8: Forbes coming out of college he was a ball hoark.

59
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 8: It was good to see him get that pick to

60
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 8: build his confidence up. Hey, man just jumped around. I

61
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 8: mean Andy Dalton coming into the game, had through two

62
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 8: interceptions week before.

63
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: Now look that that's how you make him play.

64
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: Two weeks four picks.

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 8: That's right, hey, And I love I love how his

66
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 8: teammates selling brazen man boards when he got that interception.

67
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: That's a guy.

68
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 8: I feel good. They're ready for his moment. He hadn't

69
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 8: played in the couple games in the last four games.

70
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 8: But and we talk about confidence all the time. We

71
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 8: talked about when Terry had that big catch. But now

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 8: on the defense side of the ball too, you get

73
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 8: an interception, man, it can start to get contained. You

74
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 8: might end up getting more, making more and more play.

75
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 8: So I'm excited about that. Talk about big catches, big

76
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 8: catch for you. Right here, this is we're gonna go

77
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 8: zach Ertz with a twelve yard reception for Marcus Marioda.

78
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 4: Walking has gotta rush twenty five seconds on the clock.

79
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: They're not using their bundle time out here. Let's see

80
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: if they clock it or they run a play. You

81
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: know they're gonna run a play. Mariota is in the gun,

82
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: echo to his right, quick snap looking to his right.

83
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: Now moving to his right, only grows door the other

84
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: coming zach Ertz. Touchdown, touchdown, walk your gun.

85
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 7: How about Dorcas that right down with two captors and

86
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 7: live it up. That best sock guard, said Marcus Mariolder

87
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 7: clutch outside the pockets here, just his buck.

88
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: I love this tier when you see him out of

89
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: the pocket, what do you think I mean?

90
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 6: The first thing that zach saw is what I saw

91
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 6: from sitting in my seat, is he saw a guy

92
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 6: break the pocket to this right, and he said, hey,

93
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 6: I'm going to opposite way. Let me bend this thing

94
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 6: around because guess what if I get a chance to

95
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 6: get outside this defender, it's gonna be green grass.

96
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: And that's just what he saw.

97
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 6: He saw enough green grass to say, let me throw

98
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 6: it in this hole. He threw it the highest point too,

99
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 6: only from where from where I was at, only Zach

100
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 6: can get to that ball in the timing fashion.

101
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: So that was a great past.

102
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 2: Best quarterbacks, best friend in the guy.

103
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 8: And what I like though, this is kind of like

104
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 8: just too veterans doing this ad libit hall schedule play

105
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 8: back football, yeah, basketball football, and it's.

106
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Not They hadn't played in games together. So for them

107
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 2: to be at it in this situation like that to

108
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: make that play.

109
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: That's what you need for Zach Ertz.

110
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong, he been making plays with a

111
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 6: young Jaden Dames. But when you get a savvy veteran

112
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 6: quarterback in the game that knows where his setting next

113
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 6: to that man, I mean, I'm pretty sure if we

114
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 6: ever had to see Marioda in the game.

115
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 3: Again, you.

116
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,520

161
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: He's standing straight off, gets away from a little bit

162
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: of pressure, throes back across his body, and it's just

163
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: a tremendous play across the field to Terry McLaurin down

164
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: near the Carolina thirty yard line. Mariota had all day

165
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: stepped up and waited for mccaury to come all the

166
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: way across the field.

167
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is the situation.

168
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 8: Another kind of scrambled jill off target type of play

169
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 8: where you on cover as a receiver, and that time

170
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 8: Terry did a great job on covering, making himself available

171
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 8: love him orchestrating a gat ad lib tadda.

172
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 6: One of the things that stood out big about Terry

173
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 6: this week. Man, he just shows you that he can

174
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 6: be that scrappy guy to him in times of need, man,

175
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 6: And that's what I love about his game. It's nothing

176
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 6: that Terry hasn't showed us that he can do. So man,

177
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 6: this was great just to see Mariota find him time

178
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 6: at the time. You know, every time Terry, I mean

179
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 6: Marioda broke the pocket, Terry was fighting and clawing, making

180
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 6: sure that he saw him, and Mariota saw him for

181
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 6: a few times. And I think Terry finished the game

182
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 6: with like aty plus yards, so.

183
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,559
Speaker 2: Alms on on a pretty good corner.

184
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: You know.

185
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 5: J C.

186
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 8: Horng this, I was really intrigued to see that matchup.

187
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 8: But uh, you know, Terry just kept working, man, when

188
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 8: the quarterback got out of the pocket, and you need

189
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 8: that sometimes when you're playing a good defender, you got

190
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 8: to keep working at some guys. What I liked on

191
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 8: the on that play is when Marioda broke up in

192
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 8: the pocket and a young Marioda may have taken off

193
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 8: side to run that ball, keeps his eyes down the field,

194
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 8: not padding it.

195
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: Hit Terry.

196
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 8: We're gonna finish these highlights with a being sent a

197
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 8: touchdown and catch.

198
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: They have run almost six minutes off the clock. You're

199
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: on the opening drive of the second half looking to

200
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: add to a twenty seven and nothing lead. They got

201
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 4: one fifty seven on the ground so far on the day.

202
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 4: Second and goal from the three pistol look. Sit it

203
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 4: urts at baits all to the left of Cornelius Lucas.

204
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 4: It's side hand off. No Mario to keeps growth dead.

205
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: Sit it touchdown, touchdown, washing.

206
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 2: Game in the first I'm the career for the rookie.

207
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 7: This is the playoff. Feel like they've been setting up

208
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 7: for weeks. They've been putting Ben centered in motion a

209
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 7: lot of times. They've heard that ball off. This time

210
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 7: they go with the playoffs and passed and there was

211
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 7: nobody covering Ben centate in the in the flat.

212
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 2: The rookie first first first catch in the NFL touchdown

213
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: is a touchdown? Man?

214
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 8: Can you imagine that that it is a memory for

215
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 8: a lifetime, Your first catch in the NFL goes for

216
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 8: a touchdown.

217
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta love it, man.

218
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 6: I think one of the things is that was specially

219
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 6: about this just knowing you know where he's been this season.

220
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 6: You know, a couple of games he got in there

221
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 6: had a penalty of two, you know, and you know

222
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 6: you expect it from a young guy, got jitters, trying

223
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 6: to get used to the game, trying to get acclimated

224
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 6: into everything, and then in some of them same same games,

225
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 6: he's just been great at blocking, doing his job, you

226
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. So just to see him be

227
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 6: rewarded now, man, it was greater. And you know what,

228

Speaker 3: Let me start with you, Sean, what you got well?

247
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 3: For me?

248
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: It was early in my career.

249
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 8: First first, like the second game of my career in

250
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 8: nineteen ninety seven, I was playing against a guy named

251
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 8: Steve McNair man.

252
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: I never forget.

253
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 8: It was in a Kinggong and you know that Titans

254
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 8: were pretty good at the time, and Steve mchead threw

255
00:10:59,520 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 8: it out there.

256
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 2: Man, I ran down, got that pig. I was just

257
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: so happy I ain't dropped the ball.

258
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 8: I was so hot dropped the ball, you know, and

259
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 8: and I could have probably ran a little further, but

260
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 8: I ran out of bound, celebrated a little bit, and

261
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 8: I was just that first moment felt good and it

262
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 8: was kind of like my validation, like you belong in

263
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 8: the NFL man, So I.

264
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 2: You know, I got the Jenners off after that.

265
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 8: You know, as I think about my welcome to the

266
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 8: NFL moment, when I think about welcome to the NFL,

267
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 8: I'm thinking like a bad moment for me. So we're

268
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 8: We're in the preseason. Fourth game of the preseason. I'm

269
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 8: playing in Saint Louis. We're playing the Kansas City Chief.

270
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 8: They call it like the Battle of seventy and I'm

271
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 8: the nickel linebacker in this game going against the Chief starters.

272
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 8: They're going too many. They sent me on a blitz.

273
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 8: So I'm coming up in there and I ain't training

274
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 8: camp for the other guy. I've been running everybody over.

275
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 9: Man.

276
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: They got this full back Toty Richester. I know exactly

277
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 2: what it is.

278
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 8: I was in the West. Everyone knows that running man

279
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 8: high by the running over man. He hunkeld Down called

283
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 8: about welcome to the big time.

284
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: I was from here on that. I was ready for

285
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 2: anybody else after that.

286
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: See Richardson was didn't he play in that game?

287
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 6: When Sean hit him in O five he was the

288
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 6: fullback against He was the fullback for the Chargers and

289
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 6: five when we played.

290
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: You're thinking, was that Lorenzo Neil?

291
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: That that was.

292
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 2: A t Richardson one of them guys, you know, first

293
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: get off the bus.

294
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 8: He looked like when you said describe a football player,

295
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 8: that boy looked like a football player. He had muscles everywhere. Man,

296
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 8: And it was known on the Skyling report. Man, don't

297
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 8: go in there half step ad whatever they give me either,

298
00:12:58,320 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 8: they didn't put it on my scolaryport.

299
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: Oh I didn't. I didn't pay enough, paying no attention.

300
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: It was a preseason you.

301
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 3: Know, young bucks. Don't think you know, just running.

302
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 2: Over crazy thing. It could have been now that I

303
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: think about it.

304
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 8: So I wasn't a starter that the Roma Fifer, who

305
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 8: was a starting linebacker head of me, he got injured

306
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 8: early in that game, so I had to go in

307
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 8: earlier sooner.

308
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: So I wasn't playing at O. Gord against find out

309
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: that that's a lesson for all you young players.

310
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 8: Pay attention to the sky regardless of who wasn't your

311
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 8: starter or not pay attention.

312
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, one of the things I think about when mine

313
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 6: welcome to the NFL. I'm definitely not talking about nothing negative.

314
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 6: So I'm gonna talk about a bright spot and something

315
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 6: positive in my career. It had to be my second season,

316
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 6: you know, my first year for those who know, my

317
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,920

341
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,000

342
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400

00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 6: throw phase to guys my size. And I don't know

347
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 6: what Chad was feeling, but I round him up so

348
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 6: quick at the line. I was buying them and he

349
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 6: was already on like the ten yard line. Chad threw

350
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 6: it up and down. I scored my first touchdown.

351
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: And I was I ain't know how to act.

352
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 6: I remember dudes just telling me this dude here ain't

353
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 6: the dude to play play against.

354
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, He's gonna put hands on me.

355
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: He can run with me.

356
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 6: He could do everything I could do in a big body.

357
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 6: So that was my welcome to the NFL moment. And

358
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 6: I tell you the truth, after that game, everything is like,

359
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 6: you know, it was a domino effect.

360
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 3: I ran a punt the first point back.

361
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 6: The next week, I had my first hundred yards that

362
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 6: we got to that that came back and another punt back.

363
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: It was just like we got the week for we got.

364
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: Got crazy confidence. This bills on it from a play man.

365
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: Man that's messed up. So you know that wasn't negative.

366
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,479
Speaker 2: It actually to about.

367
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, so what about all you know, you know this

368
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,360

00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 6: you guys have, you know, matching up against those guys.

370
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: Man, For me, it was you know Thursday night game seven.

371
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was that was a that was a big

372
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 8: one because I think that if I'm not mistaken, that

373
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 8: was the game that kind of kicked off our run.

374
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 8: It might have been a game that kicked off our run.

375
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 8: Callings Collins came in and I was banged up that week.

376
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 8: I think Smooth was banged up that week, and I

377
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 8: just remember going against I was just like, man, my

378
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 8: backs out.

379
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: They got a dude over there named my back. My

380
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: back was hurting.

381
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 8: But you know Thursday, you know was out, you know,

382
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 8: put my equipment up. I went and got it down,

383
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 8: told him. I was gonna play all right, but I

384
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 8: was nervous. I said, Man, don't let Devin Hester embarrass

385
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 8: So what you what you you gotta added to that

386
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 8: story is we played bad to bed the whole game.

387
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 2: That is true. We've talked about that a couple of ours.

388
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 8: Man.

389
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: In that game that we went man every single play

390
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 2: we played. I will say this.

391
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 8: We played three defensive calls tat seriously, yeah, two or

392
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 8: were mad calls and it was a Sam single they

393
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 8: were missing. So we bringing the Sam backers the fifth

394
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 8: and while they we mix it up and go wheel

395
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 8: single just as a change up, bring the wheelbacker as

396
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 8: it's changed up, and then covered two three defenses against we.

397
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: Had we had one more? We had one more? That

398
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 2: what was zero? With all that, Man said, I had

399
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: to pix that game against the bad so we want we.

400
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 6: Weren't getting home with the blister cause we had to be.

401
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 6: We had to be blistered somebody.

402
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 8: No, we wasn't getting hold because it was it was

403
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 8: a pressure, but it wasn't like it wasn't It wasn't

404
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 8: exotic or nothing.

405
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: And I don't know about you.

406
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 8: For quarterbacks, when you're playing man and man defense, you

407
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 8: all you obviously know where to go with the football

408
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 8: quicker as opposed to and we're playing zone and bringing pressure.

409
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 8: Now he's got a hold on the ball a little

410
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 8: bit longer. But hey, I know they're getting mad A man,

411
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 8: I'm getting mad a man. So I know I might

412
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 8: I might like this matchup.

413
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 2: So I go here.

414
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 8: I'm coming tight end down the field all day long

415
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 8: and as I So that was a high of memory.

416
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: I got to get the Bears. I think about twenty

417
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: ten kind of in Chicago, and.

418
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: When I when we first got there, somebody it was

419
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 3: like soggy, it was.

420
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: Kind of soft. Yeah, it was kind of soggy. Yeah,

421
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: it was it early late in the year. Was it

422
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 2: early in the year? Might have been in October, sokak,

423
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 2: maybe maybe later in the year. So they're driving, they're up,

424
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: get on the in the rid zone.

425
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 8: They about on the one yard line, pay maybe even

426
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 8: a half yard line, going in for a touchdown. Jay

427
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 8: Cutler tries to quarterback, speaking to the into the end zone.

428
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 8: So I'm I'm as mike, Mike backer.

429
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: You're thinking about either running back trying to go over

430
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: the top or quarterback trying to go over the top.

431
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: So I time it catch him in there and I

432
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 2: hit the ball, punched the ball out of right, right, right,

433
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: and recovery. So I remember that play against against the Bears.

434
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 6: I've had some good games against them, even dating back

435
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: to my Jet years. I remember one of my best

436
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 6: games as a young pup as a Jet. We went

437
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 6: to Chicago. At that time, they was playing in a

438
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 6: different stadium. It was like a almost like a high

439
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 6: school stadium, a stands, they had traver, they had the

440
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 6: metal stands, and like we was dressing up.

441
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, bro, this is not the NFL.

442
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: But it was windiest crap that day and I had

443
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: a game of my life.

444
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 6: But I think as a Redskin that twenty ten was

445
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 6: special for me. We were just joking about it. I

446
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,360
Speaker 6: told you I was two hundred and ten pounds. Don't

447
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 6: tell them about it that I was. I was Larry

448
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 6: Holmes flabby and sick, and I mean it was just

449
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 6: crazy because it was that year, two thousand and nine

450
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 6: off season, which you know after the two thousand and

451
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,640
Speaker 6: nine season, that off season, twenty ten had a knee

452
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 6: Surger had my my last knee surgeon, my third and

453
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 6: final knee surgery, and I didn't practice the whole year,

454
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 6: I mean with a whole off season with the team

455
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 6: training camp. I rolled in that thing and like it's

456
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 6: what you got, you know what I mean, and hit

457
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: the ground running, you know what I mean. I had

458
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 6: a great season that year. That was that was the

459
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 6: first year that the Shannon Hanson was here, you know, Mike,

460
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 6: I just got here and stuff and so still when

461
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 6: I then had a phenomenal season or that.

462
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: Was against Peanut too, that was my favot ball.

463
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 6: That was my first season catching ninety plus passes too.

464
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 6: I think I was third or at two ten. At

465
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 6: two tens. So that's why I always say, you know,

466
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 6: I joke around when amongst us about.

467
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 2: For a context standpoint, they was nine ten.

468
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 6: Let the viewers know what you typically played, and one

469
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 6: was the most I had played that at that point

470
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 6: that up to that that year, I hadn't been I

471
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 6: hadn't weighed more than one ninety five. So that was

472
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 6: that was carrying a couple of people on my back.

473
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 6: Yeah you know, but yeah, we went up there and

474
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 6: played you know, Peanut and then had they had.

475
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: A lot that Mike Brown was there was Yeah, had

476
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: the secondary that man Me.

477
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 3: And McNabb hit the ground rolling.

478
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 6: I think I'm not sure if I had one hundred

479
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 6: yards that game, but I know I had to touchdown.

480
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 6: I remember just the battle itself with Peanut. He's one

481
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 6: of those guys that you always got to be aware of.

482
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 6: We got the ball because he's punching that thing out

483
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 6: the damn name but damn punch out punch. So but

484
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 6: that game stopped to me too, man. I think another

485
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 6: one stood out when we played. I'm not sure that

486
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 6: was the same game with that the same game that

487
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 6: the Hall had the four picks.

488
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and Jay Cutler was talking crazy game, So

489
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: what are you talking about?

490
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 6: Yes, So it was a lot went on in that game,

491
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. A lot of us stood

492
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 6: up big and played them well up there man.

493
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: The fact he dude threw four interceptions.

494
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 3: And ran one back right, ye had one for six.

495
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 2: Gets in this press conference and says he would do

496
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: it all the same.

497
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: Come on, Jake, come on like that was I said,

498
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 3: nowhere out here, throwing this ball up to d Hall.

499
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 6: Every he done took two of them from you. Gonna

500
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 6: keep throwing at them. But yeah, them some good memories, man.

501
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 6: I think one of the things about you know this game.

502
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 3: When you play Chicago, you know, you always hear about

503
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: their defense.

504
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 6: And yeah, it's crazy how those years removed from when

505
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 6: we played Air Loc and all those guys, Briggs, you know, Peanut,

506
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 6: and I forgot the guy who played safety.

507
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 3: He was the coach over here. I believe.

508
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 6: I think he was on that team too. I believe

509
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 6: he was the safety on that team. I'm not mistaken.

510
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 6: And then now we're in twenty twenty four and we're

511
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 6: getting ready to face the defense and defense, you know

512
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 6: what I mean. So that's one of the things you

513
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 6: like about certain teams, that is that's their makeup, you

514
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 6: know what, that's no matter who the coach is, this

515
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 6: is what they bring into we can.

516
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 8: Think about them. Think about Pittsburgh still Is. You think

517
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 8: still Is gonna have a dominant defense. They're gonna have

518
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 8: some pass rushers at the outside lineback of position, the

519
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 8: Chicago Bears. Certain cities, certain teams, you're gonna have to

520
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 8: have a certain type of offense, certain type of defense,

521
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 8: whatever the case may be. I think that's important what

522
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 8: you're saying though, because Chicago, so you know, you're going

523
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 8: up in Cleveland, you know what it's like and me

524
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 8: playing in the Big ten of Ohio State, Like with

525
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 8: the weather up there, you gotta build your team around

526
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 8: the defense because because it's gonna be it's gonna be

527
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 8: some point in the season where you cannot throw.

528
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: The ball, and especially up in Chicago, that win.

529
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 6: I always wondered too, if you want to, you know,

530
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 6: take it a little deeper. When you look at the

531
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 6: collegiate level of play in those same areas, the midwell

532
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 6: midw we wanted why the game slowed down in those areas.

533
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 6: It makes sense it was colder, you know what I mean,

534
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 6: it was a different style of think about this.

535
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 8: So going back to Ohio State, I know we're talking

536
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 8: pro football. What did Ohio State have to do to

537
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 8: kind of change their trajectory and try to really compete

538
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 8: on Florida boys, when Florida.

539
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 2: Got went to Florida got and what the Texas and

540
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: got to do?

541
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, Like, you know how, we're gonna have some We're

542
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 8: gonna have some old line, We're gonna d line linebackers,

543
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 8: running back, We're gonna have like, you know, big physical guys.

544
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: But we had to go down to the South again, all.

571
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,359

00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: get into this, dig into this matchup against the Chicago Bears.

577
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: You know the storyline. One party going to be obviously

578
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: Jaden versus Caleb, and at this time of filming, we

579
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: don't know who's going to be the quarterback. Jaden's going

580
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: to be able to play, so that's a storyline. But

581
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: another main storyline has to be top five offense and

582
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: we have going against the Bears top five defense.

583
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 2: Yep, we're number one in.

584
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 8: The National Football League and scoring the Bears number four

585
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 8: and points a lot on paper, this is the kind

586
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 8: of battle that you want to see. Yeah, and I

587
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 8: think you got to go start, like can we you know,

588
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 8: because I can't even wait to get to it. We

589
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 8: you know, looking at this this game, I think a

590
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 8: lot of people circled Caleb wins versus Jayden Daniels at

591
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 8: the start of the season because there was a lot

592
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 8: of talk going back and forth, especially who was better

593
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 8: right then, you know, Jayden Daniels. Caleb was always like

594
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 8: the clear number one, and Jayden kind of moved up late.

595
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 8: But now when you think about this matchup these two guys,

596
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 8: especially where Jaden has been playing over the whole year

597
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 8: and the way Kaylen came on over the last three

598
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 8: or four weeks, could these two guys be the future

599
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 8: of what the NFL quarterback looks like.

600
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: I think, assuming both of them stay healthy, this is

601
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: gonna be the next decade where these two guys are

602
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna be exactly.

603
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 8: These two franchises will be battling exactly represent the NFC

604
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 8: in the Super Bowl, just based on if they continue

605
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 8: to progress it and play like they've played, you know

606
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 8: thus far.

607
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: At this point in this season, I was looking at Jaden, well,

608
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: not Jayden. I was looking at Caleb his first couple

609
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: of games versus where he looks like these man's couple

610
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: of games.

611
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 9: Man.

612
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 8: What you see is a quarterback who's getting the ball

613
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 8: out of on time. The arm talent was never an issue.

614
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: Elite arm talent, elite ability to make plays, extend plays.

615
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes that could be good or bad, because there's times

616
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: where he may get sacked for a fifteen yard loss

617
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: because he's trying to like that. But it seems like

618
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: he's playing a lot more on schedule. He's trusting and

619
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: letting his receivers, uh, you know, make plays for him,

620
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: going through his reads a lot quicker and for a

621
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: young guy, young quarterback, those are things you want to

622
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: be at a see because most of the times when

623
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: you're at a big time school, you have what you

624
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: call college open.

625
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 2: But these guys are wide open.

626
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 8: So yeah, but then you have to understand NFL open's

627
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 8: gonna be look look totally different different Jaden. You look

628
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 8: at him first game of the season against the Tama

629
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 8: Bay Buccaneers. There were guys who were NFL open, but

630
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 8: he didn't throw it because he's like, oh man, I'm

631
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 8: not sure, and he just took off. But now, yeah,

632
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 8: now you're seeing those same plays. He's throwing that football.

633
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 8: But Caleb Man and this offense, and he had some weapons,

634
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 8: those receivers to I'm gonna let you talk about the

635
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 8: receivers of Caroline.

636
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: I mean the Chicago Bears have.

637
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 6: I mean, no, they weapons Indeed, I think when you

638
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 6: think about it, I was going to chime in on

639
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 6: two and talk about just his performances, you know, the

640
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 6: past two weeks compared to the games before. You know,

641
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 6: I just watched the believe it was the London game

642
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 6: when they was up there playing against Jacksonville. And the

643
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 6: thing that stood up to me the most is just

644
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 6: when they brought pressure. Being that he's a young guy,

645
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 6: being at some of that stuff is still new to him,

646
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 6: they got a chance to get to him, you know

647
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 6: what I mean. They made him double clutch, they made

648
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 6: him tuk it, they made him try to do certain something,

649
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 6: something extra. So I was looking at that, and then

650
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 6: it was at times when that officer line protected him.

651
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 3: That's when you're in trouble.

652
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 6: That's when those guys you know, roam when to say

653
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 6: and you got your boy Adlan on the out side,

654
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: you got DJ Moore on the outside.

655
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: You know Dj Moore, you know Allen.

656
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 6: Both of those guys are d MV guys along with Caleb,

657
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 6: and you got Swift and you got Comet. They got

658
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 6: a squad of guys honestly at Yeah, it's crazy. I

659
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 6: met Keenan Allen super Bowl weekend in Miami in two thousand.

660
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 6: That was two thousand and twenty or nineteen, right before

661
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 6: the pandemic, and I went up to him at.

662
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 3: A rebok We had a rebok, No, not rebok. Adida's

663
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 3: little the thing now.

664
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 6: I went up to him, told him I was a

665
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 6: big fan of you know, being a guy that watched

666
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 6: him come up.

667
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: And he was like, he said, bro, man, you and

668
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 3: Porters and Sean t y'all represent my crib.

669
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: But I'm like, that's crazy.

670
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: And he said, man, I've been watching you since I

671
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 3: was a jitlebug man from d C. I'm like, damn,

672
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 3: so get.

673
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 8: You was watching watching Caleb when he got that protection. Yeah,

674
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 8: you from your receiver for what is something jump off?

675
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: What is with time? He's Caleb?

676
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 6: You know, with time he's Caleb. He's gonna sit back

677
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: there and wait for that guy to get open. And

678
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 6: when that guy wasn't open, he got a little wrestle

679
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 6: daz on him. You know, he's not He's not like

680
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: five when he running that ball, but he can. He

681
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 6: can get out there and get some yards. But what

682
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 6: I like the most about it is just the arm talent.

683
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 6: It showed that he can make all the throws, you

684
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 6: know what I mean. He was making all the I

685
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 6: mean from from the first couple of games. So now

686
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 6: that NFL open, he was trying them. He knew who

687
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 6: he had. Keenan Allen. You got to step on the

688
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 6: guy on back shoulder and I know, I know you're

689
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 6: gonna turn around and basketball. You know the guy there

690
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 6: and and uh you know body of the guy out

691
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 6: of there? Uh, you know the young kid Rome, he

692
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 6: was finding him.

693
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: He's he's the He's a sleeper to me amongst those three.

694
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 8: I'm pretty sure he's getting the least amount of attention,

695
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 8: getting at least amount of attention.

696
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: But when you watch him closer.

697
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: He was special coming out of special. He is really

698
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 2: the guy like he like.

699
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, d J. Moore is phenomenal.

700
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 6: DJ Moore remind me of Jamar Chase all over again,

701
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 6: like he was Jamar Chase before. Jamar Chase just been

702
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 6: in a situation where it hasn't been the same very

703
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 6: physical runner, physical runner get once he got the ball

704
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 6: in his ams and running back. You know he has

705
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 6: that low you know sen gravit what he.

706
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: Did to us last year, but that was the whole Yeah, yeah,

707
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: I'll say this though real and blue. You can jump

708
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: in after this.

709
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 8: But the thing that I noticed, and you may have

710
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 8: noticed it too, kind of Keenan Allen has always been

711
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 8: one of the best rock runners in the league, and

712
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 8: he steals skinny, tremendous separation even as he's gotten ore

713
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 8: in the league.

714
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 3: Keen.

715
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 6: That reminded me of Keen, of McCardell, like bigger, bigger,

716
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 6: bigger anybody people don't realize, like six too. He got

717
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 6: the same kind of style of being open. And they

718
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 6: might not be straight fast, straight line, but bro, and

719
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 6: that's small and that's small little area. Then they'll get you.

720
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 6: They'll make you missing the phone question. And that's what

721
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 6: I've seen.

722
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 3: He can.

723
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 6: He can get in and out of those those option

724
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 6: routes like I saw all the players where they put

725
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 6: both of those guys on the same side him in

726
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 6: Rome with Doon and he run an option route in

727
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 6: Rome coming behind him so high low, they high low

728
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 6: on you, making sure, picked open guy. You know what

729
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 6: I mean, Guys jumping on Keenlan. I'm gonna let Keenan

730
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 6: have that all day. That's what he's gonna do. You

731
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 6: better watch that dude coming behind him. You see what

732
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 6: I'm saying. So you know, yeah, I think the world

733
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 6: of Keenan because I think he's been having one of

734
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 6: those careers that a lot of people you know, sleeping on.

735
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but go ahead, go ahead.

736
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 8: But so that was my thing coming into the season

737
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 8: about the two quarterbacks. And then you start talking about

738
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 8: the defense of the Bears been top five, and I'm like,

739
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 8: wait a minute, Like these guys are sound the defense

740
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 8: they get you know what scares me about the defense?

741
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 8: It's one thing to be good and you can you know,

742
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 8: I think they're fifth in the league and pass against

743
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 8: pass one hundred and eighty yards something like that. Yeah,

744
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 8: they're seventh against the passing yards, seventh, total yards fifth

745
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 8: and total yards.

746
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 2: You know what scares me though, when the team can

747
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: get the ball.

748
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, there's one thing you can be style defense, but

749
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 8: this is another thing where you can create turnovers and

750
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 8: that's when you know, that's when the defense and usually

751
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 8: turnovers like one great communication in the back end or

752
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 8: pre snopright eg Sean were about to get this, you know,

753
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 8: we buzzed this or do this the two effort and

754
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 8: two effort because now everybody got to be around the ball.

755
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 8: And three you just got some guys who just have

756
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 8: confidence that want to do it. So I'm excited and

757
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 8: I feel that about our offense. We got to get

758
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 8: some confidence on our offense side of the ball. So

759
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 8: now it's just confidence your strength on strength.

760
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 6: I just think one of the things that standing out

761
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 6: about that defense to me is regardless of how potent

762
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 6: they are, they give up what we do well too,

763
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 6: and that's the run game being there. They've been susceptible

764
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 6: to you know, to the run. And so when you

765
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 6: have a defense that you know that I can being,

766
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 6: they will a little bit there. Uh if we may

767
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 6: have to play our second guy.

768
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: You know.

769
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 6: That's that's something that I want to lean on the

770
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 6: way Cliff Kingsbury. You know, I guess you can say

771
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 6: draw up things when it comes to our run game,

772
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 6: finding those quick passes to be you know, I guess

773
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 6: you can say little runs here and there, you know,

774
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 6: take place for a run. That's what I love about

775
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 6: what we got Bingo, the extension of a run. That's

776
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 6: what I love about what we bring to the table

777
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 6: when you're facing a guy, you know, a defense like this,

778
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 6: because heck, it's not going to be the first time

779
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 6: we face the defense that was susceptible to the run.

780
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 6: I mean not susceptible to the run. That was hard

781
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 6: and hard on us in one of those faces, whether

782
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 6: it was run our pass, you know what I'm saying.

783
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 3: I think Baltimore is a huge test.

784
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 6: Whether we wanted that to be a test or not,

785
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 6: we saw ourselves be able to do what we wanted

786
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 6: to do as long as we stay balanced with it. Now,

787
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 6: get me wrong, we was we was, We was down

788
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 6: a man, and that man was one of the men

789
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 6: that you don't want to do.

790
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 2: That makes it makes a big difference, huge.

791
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 8: Difference having to be robbing that that that game, just

792
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 8: his ability to run the ball. I look at when

793
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 8: you talk about the Bears and their defense and all

794
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 8: the all the different statistics and the measurables, and but

795
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 8: does it a lot of times you can have numbers

796
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 8: and they don't necessarily correlate to what you're seeing. Okay,

797
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 8: is the competition they're going against is it you know

798
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 8: this that another they're there.

799
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: They deserve where they're ranked. And what I look at

800
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: is and how sound they're coached. You look at every level.

801
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 1: They have playmakers on every level. God, we're very familiar

802
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: with Mates Sweat, who we traded to the Bears, and

803
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: that's really he was the one that that kind of

804
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: turned the corner and got this Bears defense going in

805
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: the right direction. They got Sweat, they got two linebackers

806
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: to play their secondary, they got they got outstanding secondary guys.

807
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: But you don't see a lot of explosive play live

808
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: by them. They make you earn everything. The red zone defense,

809
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: they might give up some yards between the twenties when

810
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: they get when they get in that red zone, they're

811
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,280
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league and the teams

812
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: in terms of keeping teams out of their end zone.

813
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: So you mentioned scheming things up. How can you scheme

814
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: up explosives against the Chicago Bears defense. One way you

815
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: can do that by being able to run the football

816
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: effectively with the counters and the misdirections and all the

817
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: things that we do at a high, high level. And

818
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: what does that do Now, all of a sudden, you

819
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: have to bring an eighth man in the box. You

820
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: have to have a safety commit to stopping that run.

821
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: And when you do that, now we get opportunity to

822
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: take some shots down the field. So it's paramount for

823
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: us to be able to run the ball at a

824
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: high clip, high volume of run place and then play

825
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: action pass runs that look the same and the pass

826
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: married to those run plays. That's how you get your

827
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 1: chunk plays in the passing guy.

828
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's some of the things we went over

829
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 6: the other day on the command center. Men Logan was

830
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 6: going over a play where he's seen it before where

831
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 6: we got to that that run a lot different you know,

832
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 6: in other offenses, and but he brought with him from

833
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 6: San fran and it was just it was just unique.

834
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 6: It was it was special how basically you know, you know,

835
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,280
Speaker 6: he had a guy in close and it was showing

836
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 6: boot and we got and we actually pitched it to

837
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 6: a run and ran it backside to the boot side.

838
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: But everybody, it was crazy. I got to be able

839
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 3: to bring this play up.

840
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 6: I'm probably ask Matty to kind of put it in

841
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 6: here because we actually went over that play. But it

842
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 6: just shows you that each guy here that we have

843
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 6: on his staff. They have a job, and that's why

844
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 6: the game looks the way it looks offensively, you know,

845
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 6: from what we've been seeing. We're sitting there saying ourselves,

846
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 6: Cliff is in his bag, But what about those other

847
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 6: guys we got from Philly and we got from San

848
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 6: fran that's here that has a significant role too, And

849
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 6: they bring in all their minds together. And that's why

850
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 6: I perform is and that's where our offenses where is

851
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 6: that well?

852
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 8: But you know, and on the defense side, balls defensive guys.

853
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 8: I don't know if you notice, Tanne, we got we

854
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 8: got a little ego too, just a little bit.

855
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: You got a bigger.

856
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 8: You know.

857
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: And we.

858
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 8: We paid attention when we said that, you know, our

859
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 8: offense going against good defense. Yeah, And I know the

860
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 8: guys in the locker room gotta be thinking Chicago's defense

861
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 8: is good, but we pretty good to We we've been

862
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 8: getting better.

863
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: We've been getting better each week. And I know those

864
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 2: guys are pride.

865
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, Bobby has been on the top

866
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 8: number one defense, and Frankie Levou is playing out of

867
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 8: his mind, and Fowlers getting making some plays, and Forbes

868
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 8: and central like that. That's gonna affect our guys. Our

869
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 8: guys gonna have to say, you know what, let's show

870
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 8: out to Yeah, they gonna bring it.

871
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm glad you talked brought up the defense, but we

872
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 1: gotta talk about our defense. Talk about it even a

873
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 1: little bit more. You talk about pride for from a

874
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: defense standpoint. So going into that Carolina Panthers game, there

875
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 1: was talk a lot of talk in the media like, hey,

876
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: this could be a high scoring game because Carolina, they

877
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 1: were coming into the game being really effective of being

878
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: able to run the ball. Chub Behobbard was third in

879
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,760
Speaker 1: the National Football League running the ball. Defensively, we hadn't

880
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: been running stopping a run. Well, we had gave up

881
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: some plays in the passing game against the Baltimore Ravens,

882
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: had some buzzs and miscommunications.

883
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 2: So we hear all this stuff leading to this game.

884
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: We're in that meat room and our coaches are challenging

885
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: us personally, we being challenged. Hell, we might be at

886
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: the grocery store somebody, some fan might be talking about

887
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: our defense.

888
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 2: We don't even know. They don't even know that I

889
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 2: necessarily play for the team. So we hear all this.

890
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 8: Stuff and what happened in that game against the Marolina Panthers.

891
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 8: They went, they set a tone and they smothered Chub

892
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 8: Hoobbard twelve k's for twenty seven yards in the first half. Yeah,

893
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 8: he was having two point one yards per carry right

894
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 8: the third league rush in the National football They couldn't

895
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 8: make a play.

896
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: In the passing game.

897
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 8: So because people were nervous because you know, a week

898
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 8: before the boy from the Ravens, hear no, not nothing,

899
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 8: the running by the little receiver.

900
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

901
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 8: And then Johnson was you know the boy he was

902
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 8: very similar to that, so we were going to I

903
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 8: think even better. He made even I was thinking of

904
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 8: two so Jay Flowers, Jay Flowers's name, I was trying

905
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 8: to remember. But Johnson was like, I was a little

906
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 8: nervous about that matchup. So I was like, are they

907
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 8: gonna try to sell out for the run and try

908
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 8: to stop the you know, the receiver he could get off.

909
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,479
Speaker 2: So, man, you're right, London, they.

910
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 6: Just that was just like I guess I think one

911
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 6: of the things that showed up week the week from

912
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 6: our defense.

913
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: Rather they allows the team to run or not. They've

914
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: gotten better.

915
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 6: They've got better. Yeah, not only just getting better, as

916
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 6: a whole. Whatever they showed you the week before that

917
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 6: was a throwing in the back side. They corrected it

918
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 6: the next hit.

919
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I saw just from when I went

920
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: back and we watched them. When I went back and

921
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: watched the game against Baltimore again, in the passing game,

922
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: there was some miscommunication that we hadn't had during that

923
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: four game, you know, with the exception, well other than

924
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: that type of Bay game in terms of first game

925
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: of the season, we had some miscommunications. Guys running wide open,

926
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: so there was a miscommunications. But one other piece is

927
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: some of those runs that Derrick Henry had, we had

928
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: guys trying to do too much. Instead of standing in

929
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 1: there back during your gap, they're trying to make a play,

930
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: trying to do things like that. So that was something

931
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: that I know you're going to get to Derrick Henry,

932
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: but you still have to do your job. Just trust

933
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: the defense, trust everybody to be where they're supposed to be.

934
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: Or you feel you against Derek hen you sure you

935
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: got to do more than what you should do exactly.

936
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 2: Just do your job. Just do your job.

937
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 8: So got back playing sound for the middle football, and

938
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 8: that's what happened. When you watched them against the Carolina Panthers,

939
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 8: guys exactly where they needed to be, where they needed

940
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 8: to be, doing where they needed to be, didn't miss

00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,839

988
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 5: we was gonna be teammates again. So, like I said,

989
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,160

Speaker 5: fun having him back.

993
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 6: Speaking of a guy that you know from college. I

994
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 6: remember when I got traded here from New York, already

995
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 6: knowing that Clinton Porters was here, Sean Taylor was here.

996
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 6: I knew that we was going to be able to

997
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 6: read each other and just go out feet off each other.

998
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 6: What does that have been like so far? Just knowing

999
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 6: that Newton just got a chance to now, I guess

1000
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 6: you could say, start right, John Allen going down. Have

1001
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,960

Speaker 8: Man.

1006
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,920

00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:07,560

1042
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 5: For me, man, just like not playing as early, so

1043
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 5: I just had some time to just sit back and

1044
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 5: just watch the older guys man, just how they was

1045
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 5: just handling different situations, calls, communication and things that just

1046
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 5: really stuck out to me while watching film. And I

1047
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 5: was just always telling myself, like how would I react

1048
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 5: if I was in that situation. I'm just taking my thing,

1049
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 5: taking myself through like the calls and everything like that.

1050
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 5: So you know, when it was my time and I

1051
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 5: was just able to go in there and play fast,

1052
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 5: just do what I was brought here to do.

1053
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: And I have a look back, it's definitely shown.

1054
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,960

Speaker 5: so far. And really for him, he just I just

1064
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 5: got on the phone with him. You know, he talked about,

1065
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 5: you know, where I wanted to play in the defense,

1066
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 5: and now you know, he told me I got an

1067
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,279
Speaker 5: opportunity to come out of compete and fight for the job.

1068
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 5: And you know, I embraced the opportunity. So I just knew,

1069
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 5: you know what kind of player I was. Just took that,

1070
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 5: you know into the whole thing.

1071
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 6: Man.

1072
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 5: So you know, I just came out compete. I grind it,

1073
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 5: and I got the opportunity.

1074
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 6: Each player we had a chance to sit down and

1075
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 6: see you in shared a little sentiment about the difference

1076
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 6: for some of the guys who've been here before and

1077
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 6: some of the guys who knew here but they shared

1078
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 6: the same thing.

1079
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 3: It's a brotherhood, right. Can you define what the brotherhood

1080
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 3: is to you?

1081
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 5: Guys? Man, it's just everybody doing that job at one

1082
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 5: time and just knowing we got each other back on

1083
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 5: and off the field. And I tell him, dudes every day, man.

1087
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 8: It's crazy that you mentioned that. One of the things

1088
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 8: that stood out to me was you coming out that

1089
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 8: post and the tackles that you make. Man, from that

1090
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 8: and guys who played defense don't understand how some of

1091
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 8: the tackles you're making in space you weren't just coming

1092
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 8: up making raptor you would make it damn outstandy football

1093
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 8: plays and just being that that eraser like Okay, I

1094
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 8: got y'all, Like, don't don't worry about it.

1095
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,000
