Speaker 1: a dance. Yes, they were they need a TikTok, so
Speaker 1: let me just set let me just set the stage here. So, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: we got a group text obviously because we talk outside
Speaker 1: of the show, and Fred sends a video of two
Speaker 1: random kids because I've never met his kids and Jade
Speaker 1: and Daniels doing a TikTok dance. So at first I
Speaker 1: was like, what is like, what am I watching?
Speaker 2: You did say that.
Speaker 1: I was like, what am I watch that?
Speaker 5: Like Logan and Jason, like what the hell is going on?
Speaker 5: And I'm sitting there like those are free of smook kid.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how they looked the sun looked like you know,
Speaker 1: his first sea looks like you, but his body is
Speaker 1: like almost definitely.
Speaker 4: So I never saw his daughter before.
Speaker 5: I never saw his son, but I can tell immediately
Speaker 5: that little that little boy looked like a young smooth
Speaker 5: that I met in college.
Speaker 4: And then I looked to.
Speaker 5: The to the side of him, I'm like, that's a
Speaker 5: smooth because her wingspan, I said, she gotta be another smooth.
Speaker 2: So my child mother does Jade and hair and the
Speaker 2: rest of the team here.
Speaker 3: And of course my son is a big Jaye Daniels fan,
Speaker 3: and anytime Jayde come get his hair down, he'll do
Speaker 3: a TikTok with like yeah cool. Yeah, that just shows
Speaker 3: you how down eve that Jade is.
Speaker 1: I mean, like that's really cool.
Speaker 5: That's really something too man like when we take it
Speaker 5: for granted, because we probably different guys, but to the
Speaker 5: caliber player that Jayden is is probably going to be
Speaker 5: looked at, Yes, we had guys in those shoes that
Speaker 5: probably would never never do that. I never do that,
Speaker 5: the smallest thing. My son will never.
Speaker 1: Forget that, And so let me just finish the story.
Speaker 1: So then I texted, I said, you know, how did
Speaker 1: you how did you get that worked out? You know
Speaker 1: how I acquired this video? This video? And then he
Speaker 1: just didn't respond to And then he responded to Fletch
Speaker 1: multiple times. I said, he smooth, like how did you
Speaker 1: get this happen? And then he didn't respond to So
Speaker 1: I was just like, what the heck is going on?
Speaker 2: So way and to the end, you was like I
Speaker 2: still don't know what's going on. I'm sitting there waiting
Speaker 2: to knee eager to act like.
Speaker 3: That was and if it was in tiktokentiality and being
Speaker 3: like when he's in TikTok form.
Speaker 2: It had liked stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know this stuff they had, they you know,
Speaker 1: they sure it looked good.
Speaker 2: It looked good.
Speaker 1: They use the name, and the dance looked good as far.
Speaker 2: I don't know, it was terrible.
Speaker 4: Kids has got that many more followers on.
Speaker 2: They probably did op it one TikTok that's cool.
Speaker 1: That's really nice to do does that and it's a
Speaker 1: very down earth guy and awesome and now I know
Speaker 1: the whole story. Now you know the whole story. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: So we got some administrative stuff we got to take
Speaker 1: care of. We got our historical podcast promo, Hail's Tales
Speaker 1: right are still calling at that and it is the
Speaker 1: replacements from nineteen eighty seven. And it was really funny
Speaker 1: because like, obviously we talked about it and get ready
Speaker 1: for the show, but I did I did a research
Speaker 1: for one of the quarterback or one of the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl thing we're doing for a show, and I was like, man,
Speaker 1: there's only nine games in the season in nineteen eighty seven.
Speaker 1: I had no idea until I read about it. Until
Speaker 1: we talked about it that they were all replacements.
Speaker 3: They were the strike year, so they called it. Imagine
Speaker 3: if we did it today. Imagine if the players say,
Speaker 3: you know what, we ain't playing in everybody like we
Speaker 3: got to try it for Washington. Do you know how
Speaker 3: many people show up and try to make this team? Like,
Speaker 3: come on, man, you're talking about every fans dream.
Speaker 1: They have local tryouts. Now they have like a thousand
Speaker 1: people coming.
Speaker 3: But what if it's a trial where it's a guarantee
Speaker 3: that fifty y'all gonna make this team? That's different, man,
Speaker 3: Like imagine you sitting at home being a darn Green
Speaker 3: fan and Darrel is like, nah, we ain't playing, and
Speaker 3: then they say, do you want to take Daryl's place?
Speaker 3: Like imagine I'm like, yeah, I do want to take
Speaker 3: his place, And I'm gonna go out there and try.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a bunch of dudes that just came
Speaker 5: out to the bar, just like the movie Shall a.
Speaker 2: Lot of Gold Sham from the Bar.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I had all these dreams about what they used to
Speaker 5: do or what they did today.
Speaker 2: High school coach didn't like them.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, like now it'd be I think you'd
Speaker 1: get like a pretty good roster because there's like the USFL.
Speaker 1: I feel like you get some guys that are still training.
Speaker 1: I wonder back then if guys like train like that.
Speaker 5: We the USFL around back then, are USFL was around,
Speaker 5: But I don't think it was created in eighty seven.
Speaker 4: It wasn't joint. So no different that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, think hershel Walker.
Speaker 5: You couldn't get those guys from that league, you know
Speaker 5: it d was in the company.
Speaker 3: They already signed. You're talking about Jim Kelly. Appreciate you.
Speaker 3: These guys have already signed up there. But when I
Speaker 3: think Jim Kelly, Hersha Walker, I'm thinking nineties.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But what I was asking though as well, we're talking
Speaker 5: about like nowadays you have UFL. Yeahfl USFL, that league
Speaker 5: is joint with the NFL, So something like that happened.
Speaker 5: We can pull those guys. Yeah, back then you couldn't
Speaker 5: pull from that other league. Motorcycle Gang and the dudes
Speaker 5: at the gym.
Speaker 6: USFL closed in eighty six.
Speaker 1: Uh so there were a lot of guys.
Speaker 6: Williams came over from that, all right. Yeah, so we
Speaker 6: got the after USFL.
Speaker 2: And the bals got Jim Kelly.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So then it was the next season, So no, there
Speaker 6: was no USFL.
Speaker 1: This, Yeah, but there would have been, guys, guy, Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think that's I always found that it's like
Speaker 1: this kind of like fun NFL anomaly, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, they just existed. And then for the Washington
Speaker 1: the watching molding the Redskins at the time to kind
Speaker 1: of handle that so well. And Jason, our guy who
Speaker 1: is the producer on that show, was telling us that
Speaker 1: they beat the Dallas Cowboys to make the playoffs with
Speaker 1: with scabs right or we know, we know, replacement players
Speaker 1: and then they got in there, yeah, which is crazy.
Speaker 6: Yeah that that game didn't determine if they made the playoffs,
Speaker 6: but them going three and oh, the replacements going three
Speaker 6: and oh helped the team make sure that they got
Speaker 6: there to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: You know what, super and you said Dallas.
Speaker 3: It just makes me think the team, I mean, the
Speaker 3: fan base has watched us go better Dallas here and
Speaker 3: at home so many times.
Speaker 2: That'll be the one hand that we get to go
Speaker 2: see them go better Dallas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like, y'all go represent the area. We've been ripping
Speaker 3: it for so long. You suit up and you run
Speaker 3: in to refrigerator period, over and over again.
Speaker 2: Well I see here and watching drink beer. I yes,
Speaker 2: I would love just one Sunday, like one. All those
Speaker 2: guys they seen you in the grocery store and wagments
Speaker 2: look at you.
Speaker 3: Like this is the word thing. I hate when people
Speaker 3: like they see you. They would scan you up and
Speaker 3: down trying to see if they could have played.
Speaker 5: No, you could not now, but you know a lot
Speaker 5: of people give you, give you a little props on
Speaker 5: just man, I didn't know you were that small.
Speaker 4: You know, I get that all the time.
Speaker 5: Yeah, a guy, they I'm pretty sure they sized me
Speaker 5: up because they say that, and I'm like, damn, how
Speaker 5: big you thought I would? Yeah, And but just to
Speaker 5: hear that let me know, like, yeah, so all that
Speaker 5: stuff you had in the back of your head about
Speaker 5: you being out there, yeah I want it doesn't make
Speaker 5: you feel like, well I could do it or hass
Speaker 5: off to that dude.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think I told you the story before. Like
Speaker 1: I went my roommate my rookie year, was in a
Speaker 1: flag football team and they were missing a couple of
Speaker 1: guys and they're like, hey, do you want to come out?
Speaker 1: He was not a player. I was like, okay, y'all
Speaker 1: come out, and I'm like the blocking tight end.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Everyone talks about how slow I am, how trash I am,
Speaker 1: and I remember got out there and like no one
Speaker 1: could cover me. I was like one handed catches and
Speaker 1: they left the game and everyone's like, man, you're so fast,
Speaker 1: you're saying. I'm like, man, you have.
Speaker 2: No no idea. You have no idea building me up?
Speaker 2: Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like when people go like pros versus Joe's and
Speaker 1: they're playing those old joes back the day. It's like
Speaker 1: the caliber of athletes and physicality in the NFL is insane.
Speaker 1: So when people come up to, oh, you got a
Speaker 1: couple more places in you, I'm like, no, absolutely not, No,
Speaker 1: I don't because to be that guy for that long
Speaker 1: gotta be really locked in down then. But anyway, so
Speaker 1: that's our Stole podcast, and that's the Hails Tails. Really
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Handed does a great job with that, Jason,
Speaker 1: you do a great job with that as well. And
Speaker 1: now the second big item on my list is the
Speaker 1: People's Choice Podcast Awards, and I don't have an update,
Speaker 1: but Jason said he's got an update.
Speaker 6: I got some news where you get, okay, what we got.
Speaker 6: Our fans are awesome. We made the cut. Did we
Speaker 6: make the yea, we made the cut. We are in

Speaker 6: So here's what happens next, because this is the people's choice.
Speaker 6: When you went to vote, you had all those emails
Speaker 6: right now, what they do is they sounds convoluted. I'll
Speaker 6: do my best to explain it. They're going to send
Speaker 6: out another email to at least one fourth of people
Speaker 6: that voted. So they're going to get one fourth of
Speaker 6: people that voted, and then the rest of the votes
Speaker 6: will all be from experts, former podcasts all right, So
Speaker 6: it will be a combination of people's choice and like
Speaker 6: people that know what they're I don't want to say,
Speaker 6: know what they're talking about, but are like, oh, this
Speaker 6: audio sounds great, know that right, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: So we'll have that.
Speaker 2: Fel accomplished.
Speaker 1: So if you voted, keep an eye out.
Speaker 6: We want you to get back in there.
Speaker 1: If you're one of those one fourth people that get
Speaker 1: selected and you vote, like, that's going to help us
Speaker 1: out right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, So just check your emails, make sure that
Speaker 6: someone if they send an email out to you, get
Speaker 6: back in there and vote for us in the sports
Speaker 6: category and the overall category.
Speaker 2: That is.
Speaker 5: I asked that question last time we was on like
Speaker 5: just being like, you know how it's no moral victories,
Speaker 5: but that's why I asked that question. And like Savors
Speaker 5: we make the cut. Is that a big real you
Speaker 5: know in itself?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's a big deal.
Speaker 6: I mean we beat healthy other thirty for thirties.
Speaker 2: I've been saying this this wild right.
Speaker 1: So what's very humbling. Thank you guys so much. Please
Speaker 1: continue to support us, Thanks again, and we'll continue to
Speaker 1: try and make a great show for you.
Speaker 2: That's awesome.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a that's a very very pleasant surprise. Thanks. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, so now we got to talk about football.
Speaker 1: Enough about us, let's talk about football. Owhen Wilson's older,
Speaker 1: uglier brother. Anyway, So unofficial depth chart came out on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: and everybody was freaking out about it, and so I
Speaker 1: think we could just talk about it. It's probably been
Speaker 1: talked to death, but I just got to say a
Speaker 1: couple of things about this. Okay, So their league mandated
Speaker 1: to put out a depth chart. Okay, they have to
Speaker 1: This is not who is going to make the team.
Speaker 1: It's not who is it going to make the team.
Speaker 1: And I have to just say this because it drives
Speaker 1: me nuts. They still have a joint practice, a preseason game,
Speaker 1: another joint practice, and another preseason game and then guess
Speaker 1: what one more preseason.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, in terms of evaluation points, like I'm sure Tanna
Speaker 1: and Fred you can speak to this. I've been on
Speaker 1: teams where I thought this dude is a lock. They
Speaker 1: biffed a practice. If they messed it up real bad
Speaker 1: and they got cut, you never see he again a
Speaker 1: joint practice or precing game, Like how many times you
Speaker 1: seen that appen all the time. And so the fact
Speaker 1: that this is an unofficial it's unofficial.
Speaker 2: That's what's saying on the top of it. It's it's unofficial.
Speaker 1: Is I just think it's just important to remember because
Speaker 1: I heard people on the radio talking about it, like, Oh,
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna get cut.
Speaker 2: No he's not, don't do that.
Speaker 3: Like listen, what you're seeing right now is because I
Speaker 3: am as a business, I have to push this out
Speaker 3: Like I didn't volunteer this.
Speaker 2: I didn't tell you this was what it was.
Speaker 5: I gave you a first copy of my roof dre Up,
Speaker 5: but I haven't gave you my final edition of my book.
Speaker 2: Just what it is. I love that. I love that description.
Speaker 1: I do think you can draw some stuff from it,
Speaker 1: like obviously like Brandon Coleman start left tackle. I think
Speaker 1: that shows that they like what he's done. He's been practicing. Well, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the athlete we've been talking about is there. Does that
Speaker 1: mean he's going to start week one. We don't know,
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that, but it shows that they like him.
Speaker 1: I think another one is, uh, Jaden Daniels, Right, he's
Speaker 1: been practicing well, but let's say he goes out and struggles.
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll do this. Let's say hypothetically he
Speaker 1: goes out and struggles ten, is he going to.
Speaker 4: Start week one? Yeah?
Speaker 5: No, he struggling in pre season game. So you got
Speaker 5: it two more. But you look at it like this,
Speaker 5: man like, look at this.
Speaker 2: I did not say what you're thought. Such a good No,
Speaker 2: it was such a good though, because it's true.
Speaker 1: Though he's probably.
Speaker 4: If he struggled, then he's going to struggle, you know
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: That's how I look at it. But I look at
Speaker 5: it like this. Some of these guys that it's the obvious,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? They staying obvious about some
Speaker 5: of these guys. And then it's just another group of
Speaker 5: guys where you got to think this team is kind
Speaker 5: of like I know, coach didn want to say rebuilt,
Speaker 5: but we basically rebuild. So you have a lot of
Speaker 5: guys that I just want to see how they fit
Speaker 5: in this position right now?
Speaker 2: Can they can?
Speaker 5: They can they slide out of this spot. I'll put
Speaker 5: you here because I think you deserve to be here.
Speaker 5: And by the time we get to day one, you know,
Speaker 5: or final cut, did you hold this spot up enough
Speaker 5: for us to say we're gonna keep you there?
Speaker 2: Yes, I look at it.
Speaker 1: Just another couple of surprising names. Jean Baptiste the defensive end.
Speaker 1: You know, he's hurt for the being a training camp
Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden he's working with the twos.
Speaker 1: And in terms of this depth chart, like it's I
Speaker 1: think it's good. I think it's. Also something that Dan
Speaker 1: said in this pressure, which I think is really interesting,
Speaker 1: is that basically, like they want to see this is
Speaker 1: for the preseason game, so they're gonna bump and elevate
Speaker 1: certain young guys because they want them to play.
Speaker 3: Yes, which is smart, and they're smart like because I'm
Speaker 3: gonna get more work with my veterans at these practice,
Speaker 3: these private practice. But when when we on camera in
Speaker 3: the preseason game, I'm giving guys that might not even
Speaker 3: make this team a chance to say to himself so
Speaker 3: they can get hired by another team.
Speaker 5: That's guys playing the light, you know, I mean practice,
Speaker 5: we all can go out here in practice, you know,
Speaker 5: amongst each other. Especially even when those joint practices, some
Speaker 5: of those guys come out the shell and say, Okay,
Speaker 5: you know it's time to do.
Speaker 4: It because it's live. But the real lights and the
Speaker 4: real buddhis.
Speaker 5: Fly around when when you're on live and you you're
Speaker 5: on TV and it's time to go out there and
Speaker 5: show up and make that first down on thirty one
Speaker 5: thirty short something like that. So you know, I just
Speaker 5: I feel like when you see this. As a player,
Speaker 5: we never heard about this type of stuff. We were so
Speaker 5: locked in we didn't care, you know, And like I
Speaker 5: shared with you guys my last year here, I didn't
Speaker 5: know I was on a bubble. Media outlet came to
Speaker 5: me and said, so, how does it feel to be
Speaker 5: on the bubble? Like dudes flash a fax bubble. So
Speaker 5: it was just one of those things. Man, as a player,
Speaker 5: you're locked in. I'm not concerned about what you guys
Speaker 5: see outside of what I'm seeing. Yeah, I just know
Speaker 5: every opportunity is one of those chings for me to
Speaker 5: go out.
Speaker 4: There and make stinkment.
Speaker 3: And every time they see somebody on the second team
Speaker 3: of the thirteen.
Speaker 5: The first thing that comes to mind is the yeah,
Speaker 5: like some of these guys are not on the bottle.
Speaker 5: They got true rotational player.
Speaker 1: I think that's the other thing that's interesting too, is
Speaker 1: like because of how they run their defense and because
Speaker 1: of how much depth they have at certain spots, like
Speaker 1: you're gonna see guys that are like down the depth
Speaker 1: chart like supposedly play more as like you're like you
Speaker 1: could be the third safety, but you're the first dime linebacker,
Speaker 1: thank you, or the you know you're the you're the
Speaker 1: backup whatever it is, right, So you're going to see
Speaker 1: a lot of that kind of stuff going on. So
Speaker 1: again it's it's a good kind of data point. But
Speaker 1: again this is gonna, I think change quite a bit
Speaker 1: as we go on. But you know, today we got
Speaker 1: practice going on in addition to this coming out. This
Speaker 1: is Tuesday, and you know Joe Gibbs and Daryl Green, right,
Speaker 1: a practice day.
Speaker 2: Then let me tell you how to put nasty. The Joseph,
Speaker 2: the Joseph, Joseph Joseph.
Speaker 3: All right, the Joseph was here today, Derek Green was
Speaker 3: here today. This nostalgia, this winners, this they were reminded
Speaker 3: fan base, we was great at one time.
Speaker 2: This is where we're trying to get back to.
Speaker 5: It's great just to even hear that Darren Green is
Speaker 5: around again. Yeah, we know how to relationship the hiatus
Speaker 5: men and say y'all want to holler y'all?
Speaker 3: Yeah, most definitely so good to see them back, especially
Speaker 3: on the same field.
Speaker 2: I'm sure the fans got really enjoyed that.
Speaker 3: We enjoyed seeing now about Coach talked to little trash
Speaker 3: to him like I always do.
Speaker 2: So I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: Man, what does he do when you talk? Trust?
Speaker 2: He laughs?
Speaker 4: You know what?
Speaker 5: I asked this question to myself because I just had
Speaker 5: to answer it myself because I knew what the answer was.
Speaker 5: And the question was do Fred talk like this to everybody?
Speaker 5: And it's yes, it's not a person that he don't
Speaker 5: go to and talk crap. And I'm like, bro, how
Speaker 5: do you not like kind of divideed? Say what these
Speaker 5: guys are my elders. Let me know, Mike Malip a
Speaker 5: little bit for how I speak or greet these guys.
Speaker 3: Like coach coach Coach Gil got a serious funny ball
Speaker 3: and don't know, most people don't know what because they
Speaker 3: don't talk to him like that. I remember because you
Speaker 3: know one thing about Coach Gil, he gonna work you.
Speaker 2: He's gonna work you like he.
Speaker 3: Don't care about that storm in one day, I say,
Speaker 3: before we go out to practice, Coach the fellas think,
Speaker 3: you know it gonna rain, we probably should go out
Speaker 3: there and press. I'm the guy he's sending it to Joseph.
Speaker 3: He's like, Nah, this Washington weather, all right, we're gonna
Speaker 3: play in it this weekend. We're gonna practice in it today.
Speaker 3: So we go out and practice, start raining. But you
Speaker 3: know one thing that will stop practicing is that light
Speaker 3: Like I write that lightning hit. I looked at Coach,
Speaker 3: he looked at me. I said, it took Jesus, took
Speaker 3: Jesus to sit.
Speaker 2: And lightning for to get us out.
Speaker 3: You should be ashamed of your telf. He just laugh
Speaker 3: about it all the time. He talked about all that
Speaker 3: he has a true funny bones.
Speaker 1: So he doesn't get annoyed though.
Speaker 5: He's like, you know one of the things about him, man,
Speaker 5: and he told us a cool story about uh that
Speaker 5: Fred was back by this time.
Speaker 4: He said he had to separate.
Speaker 5: There's gonna be guys that do things differently from the
Speaker 5: other guys.
Speaker 4: You know, I mean, I can't.
Speaker 5: Pigeonhold everybody, make all us the side, can't make all
Speaker 5: us Saints. And I can't say I need.
Speaker 4: You to do what Randell is doing. I need you
Speaker 4: to do what this guy's doing.
Speaker 5: You know you're gonna do what you do as long
Speaker 5: as we on the same page between the white lines.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm cool. I don't know.
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys.
Speaker 5: He's one of those guys he allowed to Hey, man,
Speaker 5: that's fredsm He gonna get letter who he is and
Speaker 5: once he got out of line, now he gonna get
Speaker 5: on you.
Speaker 2: Get off.
Speaker 4: He's gonna get on you to take some mature coach.
Speaker 1: I think he'll do that, and I think it's why
Speaker 1: one of the reasons they're socialcess.
Speaker 5: Why he won the championship, championship coach know how to be.
Speaker 5: He was a He's a people person. You know how
Speaker 5: to man. He's one of those guys that he reads
Speaker 5: guys differently than I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: From his coach.
Speaker 4: He know how to read you, bro.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, And that's why he so successful in Nascary.
Speaker 3: He had to take those same people skills. And I
Speaker 3: was talking to him, he was like, man, I trained
Speaker 3: my pit guy, just like just like football, he said,
Speaker 3: most of the pit guy that work in the pit
Speaker 3: ex football players.
Speaker 1: There was a guy here at practice the other day
Speaker 1: kind of to come to talk to the team about,
Speaker 1: you know, like the details, and he was a pit guy.
Speaker 1: He was like the director of the pit crew for
Speaker 1: a NASCAR and he was saying, like, you know, detailed,
Speaker 1: detailed detail. But one of the things I thought was
Speaker 1: really interesting was just like the crossover with football. Yes,
Speaker 1: the lot of football players he.
Speaker 3: Said, most of his coach heill say, all of my
Speaker 3: pick guys, I mean pisching out guys played college football.
Speaker 1: They said that he said, ninety do it.
Speaker 3: So maybe he picking up them gas, But that was
Speaker 3: that's new. But also we used to working together. The
Speaker 3: one thing you could put us in is a room
Speaker 3: and hey, y'all figure it out.
Speaker 2: And we'll do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that was that's super interesting. And also like
Speaker 1: it's just great to have them back around. You know,
Speaker 1: I kind of wonder, you know, as a player, like
Speaker 1: some of these guys are so young. They they know
Speaker 1: who Joe Gibbs is, they know who deug Green is.
Speaker 2: But they parents nostalgia.
Speaker 1: But but I was gonna say it's good for the
Speaker 1: fan base to see him out there. It's good for
Speaker 1: the organization that they're back around, Like you were saying,
Speaker 1: like some of those guys been gone from.
Speaker 5: It, and you don't know because I know a lot
Speaker 5: of those guys didn't know who we were. Like, I mean,
Speaker 5: I walk across here a couple of times I'm saying, hey, everybody,
Speaker 5: you know being a guy who I am, and they like,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, oh, who is that? Most okay?
Speaker 5: And then you see that get a little bigger like
Speaker 5: with that, and then it's crazy because Mike Sanna is
Speaker 5: still He started following me like the next day and
Speaker 5: I'm like, he just found out who and he sent
Speaker 5: me a littlens. I'm like, see that's dope because he's
Speaker 5: always also an ex receiver. So it's it's crazy that
Speaker 5: these people really don't These kids don't.
Speaker 3: Know it because we time stamped. We time stamped and
Speaker 3: and that's what it is. But guess what keeping him
Speaker 3: the youth knowing who we are podcast like this social
Speaker 3: media because now they get to see us in a
Speaker 3: different light, but they still know who we are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. So I thought that was kind of cool.
Speaker 1: And again this is the lot. Tuesday was the last
Speaker 1: practice leading into the joint practice, so that Wednesday off,
Speaker 1: I think it's a travel day they're going to Thursday,
Speaker 1: I got practice against the Jets. I know, like Fletch
Speaker 1: was talking about how much she hated joint practice.
Speaker 5: You know with that, Yeah, TA hate some why so
Speaker 5: you know, I'm very routeam and I feel the joint
Speaker 5: practice is almost a game kind of kind of you
Speaker 5: gotta have a game mentality, and it's hard to get
Speaker 5: in that game mentality as I'm practicing, because I'm coming
Speaker 5: on and off in the game. It's one it's one
Speaker 5: of here we locked in in those joint practices. You
Speaker 5: got to know when I got to turn this thing
Speaker 5: up and when I got to chill out. And it's
Speaker 5: hard to do that with me. Once I'm up, I'm up,
Speaker 5: I gotta keep going. I can't say, Okay, this drill
Speaker 5: here is gonna be a little lighter.
Speaker 4: No, I'm in game, hod, right.
Speaker 5: You know, I hate it because I think it was
Speaker 5: one of those situations where when I'm in my game, Hod,
Speaker 5: anything's open. Everything is open. Like if you want to fight,
Speaker 5: that's fight. You want to do this, let's do that,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. But practicing, trying to get
Speaker 5: a good rep, trying to show these guys a good look,
Speaker 5: and knowing that they want to win and I want
Speaker 5: to win.
Speaker 4: It's almost set me up, you know, I mean for failure.
Speaker 5: So I hated it because I just felt like it
Speaker 5: was it was one of those situations where you're gonna.
Speaker 4: Put us out there. Everybody has egos, You have all
Speaker 4: these outfas.
Speaker 5: Somebody gonna bring out into a fight, and you just
Speaker 5: to you know, have control what you call a control
Speaker 5: chaos single and it's it's impossible. So when I'm watching
Speaker 5: these other guys, these other teams having these joint practices
Speaker 5: and I'm seeing the fights, I'm just shaking my head
Speaker 5: because I'm like, when is this going to stop? I mean,
Speaker 5: I understand it. It's good, it's good football. It's good
Speaker 5: for the offseason, it's good for the preseason. But to me,
Speaker 5: I feel like it's just one of those things. Man,
Speaker 5: just let us play in the preseason and keep it moving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a couple of things. I agree one
Speaker 1: hundred percent with what you're saying. I remember the first
Speaker 1: time we had a joint practice against Houston, and we
Speaker 1: were doing like kickoff coverage. How yeah that was like
Speaker 1: that was like the third day. Yeah, so we were
Speaker 1: having practice. We were doing kickoff coverage and I remember
Speaker 1: being out there and our special teams coach had told
Speaker 1: us the tempo was like seventy percent or we're not
Speaker 1: going to contact, and so you start running down there,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, they start running down there,
Speaker 1: and You're like, is this dude about to hit me
Speaker 1: right now? Because he told us one thing? But what
Speaker 1: do they know? Yeah, yeah, it was dayto and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, to my left, some dude just
Speaker 1: gets smoked. I didn't get hit because the other guy
Speaker 1: let up, but like this dude got knocked out, almost
Speaker 1: knocked out, and I was like, what are we doing?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? So it just and then
Speaker 1: so another funny story, we went we had one with
Speaker 1: New England, right, and so we have seven.
Speaker 4: On the seven, that one, you remember that one.
Speaker 1: We had seven on seven and get this, and so
Speaker 1: they bring over their two outside linebackers who basically played
Speaker 1: like d n So it's nine on seven. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: if you were attached to the formations like a tight end,
Speaker 1: they would basically take jam you two the middle linebacker
Speaker 1: who would hit you as hard as they could. It
Speaker 1: was basically getting double vised, and so we couldn't run
Speaker 1: any of our concepts because the guys inside couldn't get off.
Speaker 1: And I remember like the referee would throw a flag,
Speaker 1: you know, like past interference, and Belichick like pick it up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we played football.
Speaker 1: And so it's it is a little bit of a
Speaker 1: tempo thing. So as a player, yeah, it's tough, tough
Speaker 1: setting because you're you're gauging temple.
Speaker 2: I know you like it.
Speaker 1: But as an evaluator, I was gonna say I love
Speaker 1: joint practice.
Speaker 3: I can say at the end of the day we
Speaker 3: talked about the organized chaos. This protons new truns. They
Speaker 3: are organized chaos.
Speaker 1: What are we talking?
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it because I got tired of running behind
Speaker 3: Tanna and.
Speaker 2: Running behind somebody else. That's what I want some friss facing.
Speaker 1: Did you get joint practice? Like when you were talking
Speaker 1: all this noise.
Speaker 4: To people, what I gotta think about it? Smooth one
Speaker 4: of those guys, even when he's talking to Smack.
Speaker 1: You're funny.
Speaker 2: It's like, I'm not the meaning, I'm not the meaning.
Speaker 1: Topic mean it's not like I'm trying.
Speaker 2: To get they focus on me.
Speaker 3: However, I can get your focus on me if it's
Speaker 3: a conversation.
Speaker 2: Why Like I had to receive what timy this?
Speaker 3: He was like, dude, I have never been jammed by somebody.
Speaker 3: And they had a conversation fifteen year olds down, like,
Speaker 3: because I can talk and run. Most people can't talk
Speaker 3: and run. Because all started with like you jam somebody like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: what're you going? I'm right here on you what you're
Speaker 3: gonna do? So then I was like, I can just
Speaker 3: do this and talk regular. How about I just yeah, man,
Speaker 3: did you see Martin now today?
Speaker 5: I tell you one thing about those joint practice though,
Speaker 5: especially what we're probably gonna expect to see from ours,
Speaker 5: you know, be in the seat that we're in now.
Speaker 5: I remember Belichick speaking highly of Kirk Cousin. You know
Speaker 5: what I mean, Oh that joint practice. You know he
Speaker 5: got He said some things about Kirk, and I was
Speaker 5: saying everybody was like, well, we see.
Speaker 4: It, you know what I mean? But it was just
Speaker 4: obvious that Kirk.
Speaker 2: You could see it.
Speaker 5: Kirk went out there and executed fine and you know
Speaker 5: a lot of times when he was out there. You know,
Speaker 5: they was bringing those look at Robin and to take off.
Speaker 2: And run and it was.
Speaker 5: It was great for the fans, but you know, as
Speaker 5: a you know, being a receiver of he like, you know,
Speaker 5: I just ran this route for nothing, you know what
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 2: I remember being there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was doing the reporting and I see it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I have never seen a quarterback running Salmon self,
Speaker 3: but he was running.
Speaker 2: But it was to this this roar of the fan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he put on the show.
Speaker 3: Oh listen it was And I was just I was like,
Speaker 3: look at that Bobby three sticks, like you know, because
Speaker 3: the emotion was there, the drummer was there, and like.
Speaker 2: You know, because he was posted in this he go your.
Speaker 6: Save you.
Speaker 2: Everything that he just out there and he pumping them up.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't know how good this is.
Speaker 3: Because this is Salmon Selm. You should be throwing the ball, young.
Speaker 1: Man, trying to throw the ball.
Speaker 5: Yes, we went out there and took it to him though, too,
Speaker 5: because we took that into the preseason game and we
Speaker 5: really we really showed up the preseason game against.
Speaker 1: I feel like those guys were so tired because they
Speaker 1: had the reputation at the time of just having a
Speaker 1: murderous training camp. Yeah, so for them it was like
Speaker 1: kind of like being on vacation and when they got
Speaker 1: to the preseason game, like they were, so they had
Speaker 1: a practice like the day before, like the morning of
Speaker 1: the game. So guys are out there dying.
Speaker 2: I remember.
Speaker 1: I remember one year we had a we had a
Speaker 1: pricing game against Tampa Bay. Who was that college coach
Speaker 1: that was down there who was from Rutgers, remember him.
Speaker 1: He was like, oh, yeah, you know what I'm.
Speaker 2: Talking about, Marianni.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sirianni. So it's the fourth preseason game. I'm your
Speaker 1: boys out there because I don't miss aport. I'm in there.
Speaker 1: I'm in there getting work. And so thank god, our coach,
Speaker 1: I think was Mike at the time, was like, hey,
Speaker 1: you guys gonna play take care of you don't have
Speaker 1: to do the practice the day before. I was like great.
Speaker 1: So I was out there talking with my buddies. He's like, oh,
Speaker 1: we had a full speed tackle to the ground practice
Speaker 1: at twelve o'clock today. Mind you, this is the day
Speaker 1: of the game. So those boys are coming out there
Speaker 1: on some double day stuff. And I'm telling you I was.
Speaker 1: I was on a dry block on some guy and
Speaker 1: this dude could not catch his breath. Like he just
Speaker 1: was like like like take me away cams and just
Speaker 1: throw them on the ground. Your shre this like it's
Speaker 1: just like this, like this, his soul left his body
Speaker 1: because they can do you can they can do you wrong.
Speaker 2: Man. I felt like that my rookie year with Martin Scheinheimer.
Speaker 2: I remember coming.
Speaker 3: Into that first preseason game. I was like, I know,
Speaker 3: my left leg has to be three inches time because.
Speaker 2: He didn't ran them into the ground like I listen.
Speaker 3: I was that's what two days with two of days too,
Speaker 3: and it was just it was physical to a.
Speaker 2: Point where I was like, you know what, too much.
Speaker 3: I noticed my first training camp, I might need to
Speaker 3: rethink this thing and be a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Is crazy when you have those moments, Yeah yeah, this
Speaker 1: is the best job all time, but all time, we.
Speaker 4: All had that training camp.
Speaker 2: I tell people about time.
Speaker 3: People don't retire away from football just to retire away
Speaker 3: from football.
Speaker 2: They retired from training camp.
Speaker 5: Either training camp or you get an injury. Because I
Speaker 5: got hurt in my first training camp. So I remember
Speaker 5: just sitting there like by myself. The team is off playing.
Speaker 1: And they might just brace on my leg and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: when you're watching TV.
Speaker 4: So it's just.
Speaker 5: Gonna be like what I'm gonna be doing. This is
Speaker 5: who I am, this is I'm not gonna have it.
Speaker 5: I'm deep in my head, you know what I mean,
Speaker 5: And I'm like what. That's why I say I give
Speaker 5: so much credit to everybody. Why I never looked at
Speaker 5: you bigger than this person and me bigger than you,
Speaker 5: because I felt like it takes a lot for a
Speaker 5: man to be out here in this unital period because
Speaker 5: it's so many my games we go through. You might
Speaker 5: think that, oh ten a half. No worries, bro, I've
Speaker 5: been worrying all my life. Everybody I worded from the
Speaker 5: day that I told myself I was gonna be here
Speaker 5: to the day I got here, and then I still
Speaker 5: worried until I left you, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 5: it's one of those situations.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 5: Hats off to anybody that ever got a chance to
Speaker 5: suit up because it's a serious ball game, man, and
Speaker 5: it's one of those things. It's a it's a life changer,
Speaker 5: you know, whether you're playing or not. You know, you
Speaker 5: got to wake up and say Okay.
Speaker 2: This is over.
Speaker 3: You either live in your dream are you losing your dream?
Speaker 3: And this makes your reality a lot different.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so we got a little sidetracked there talking
Speaker 1: about the preseason stuff like that. Let's talk about joint
Speaker 1: practice a little bit more. And so one of the
Speaker 1: things that I hear people say, or you may you
Speaker 1: might hear on TV right, is that joint practices are
Speaker 1: better than preseason. So one of the reasons you get
Speaker 1: that is.
Speaker 3: Do you have a joint practice for Oh yeah, we
Speaker 3: joint precture with the Ravens all the time time.
Speaker 1: So the good thing about a joint practice schematically, I
Speaker 1: can do more stuff. Yes, I can run my actual offense.
Speaker 1: I can run my actual I.
Speaker 2: Can do more scout than my true team.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And I can evaluate not only the players,
Speaker 1: if I can evaluate the coordinators whether like this scheme
Speaker 1: is gonna work. I can evaluate my kickoff stuff.
Speaker 2: And I can evaluate your players.
Speaker 1: Yes. See, that's what you forget one hundred right, because.
Speaker 2: We know how you play here.
Speaker 3: One day you go in the knicks, I get to
Speaker 3: and then I get to evaluate you in high pressure situations.
Speaker 3: If I want to see if my tackle you can
Speaker 3: handle a plus pass rusher.
Speaker 2: Well, if the Jets out.
Speaker 3: Of Ravens got one, and I'm going, yes, I want
Speaker 3: you to go against him five or ten times. I
Speaker 3: want to see what you got against a guy like this, Oh,
Speaker 3: you're finna be outsto in Cornill.
Speaker 2: I want to see can you take on number one?
Speaker 2: Go take their number one? Like I can do different
Speaker 2: tasks that I can't do with my own team.
Speaker 1: In the preseason, you can't do it. Yeah, Like let's
Speaker 1: say I want to work two minute ones versus ones.
Speaker 1: I can't do that now, like really effectively, not on TV.
Speaker 1: I can't write right exactly. So I think that's something
Speaker 1: that again where the value is. And the other thing
Speaker 1: that I think that's important is, like, especially with stuff
Speaker 1: that Dan's been saying, is that he wants to use
Speaker 1: this as an opportunity to evaluate players their players are
Speaker 1: players scheme, but also as a kind of a dress
Speaker 1: rehearsal for the coaches, like, hey, let's work two minutes,
Speaker 1: let's work subs, let's work all these different things that
Speaker 1: we can get in before the preseason. And again, because
Speaker 1: we've got more offense in, it's going to feel more
Speaker 1: realistic to the game. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I think that's valuable too to because you know, one
Speaker 5: of the things that we always you know, made aware
Speaker 5: of is like these games are generic. You know, the
Speaker 5: preseason games are genera you're not going to show you
Speaker 5: those looks, those funky looks defensively all offensively, so you
Speaker 5: can do it when you say, okay, we getst another team.
Speaker 5: So it's almost like a live game for us. But
Speaker 5: it's just in practice, you know, because we have this
Speaker 5: joint practice. I think that's very valuable. And those are
Speaker 5: the times too, like we talked about, we talked about
Speaker 5: earlier them a lot of times when you find a
Speaker 5: guy too and say, okay, this is the guy that
Speaker 5: I might want to see in a situation come this weekend.
Speaker 5: But it just showed us something, you know, against these
Speaker 5: guys live in practice.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think the other interesting thing and other
Speaker 1: interesting thought here is like both the joint presses I
Speaker 1: did in my career, or all of them, all three
Speaker 1: of them were home. This one's away. Wait, yeah, how
Speaker 1: does it mean anything? Is it important?
Speaker 3: I like it when the team come together, when we
Speaker 3: on the road, it's the perfect team.
Speaker 2: Because you've got nowhere to go, you got nothing to do.
Speaker 3: We're gonna do this for the next couple of days,
Speaker 3: then we're gonna go play a preseason game.
Speaker 2: So so it forces us to spend.
Speaker 3: Time again, especially a team as new as this, like,
Speaker 3: regardless of the old guys we had, we still assembled.
Speaker 2: So many pieces from other places.
Speaker 3: The more time they can spend together, I don't care
Speaker 3: if it's bowling, walking and scrolling. I need them to
Speaker 3: spend time together on the road.
Speaker 4: It all depends too, just how they're gonna do it.
Speaker 5: So if you have a so I remember when my
Speaker 5: first joint practice, when I was in New York the Jets,
Speaker 5: we rode all the way over to Albanini I think
Speaker 5: it's Albany, New York, where the Giants was practicing that
Speaker 5: and we had a joint practice against them.
Speaker 4: I was going there with a you know, kind of hitching.
Speaker 5: My you know, get up or whatever. And I remember
Speaker 5: listening to line of Richie the whole ride. I was
Speaker 5: in the dumps. So when you in the dumps, she
Speaker 5: reached the lineup, I didn't.
Speaker 2: Reach for them. It just popped up.
Speaker 4: And I listened to him the whole time.
Speaker 2: You know he had that.
Speaker 4: I pard when it first came up.
Speaker 5: First line of Richie came up and I had the
Speaker 5: greatest hits of line Richie, and I was sad as.
Speaker 2: All I do.
Speaker 5: And I remember not having a practice because I'm saying
Speaker 5: to myself, I just come off for knee some years ago,
Speaker 5: and now I got this, you know, hamstring that's bothering me.
Speaker 4: I gotta go out here and go and I want myself.
Speaker 5: But I did drills. I didn't do anything to two
Speaker 5: vigorous on it. But it's just one of those things
Speaker 5: like that ride took forever. So I remember sitting that bus, like, man,
Speaker 5: we we got to go way up here.
Speaker 4: Get off the practice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I'm not sure we stayed that day or
Speaker 5: we came right back.
Speaker 4: I think we came back that night.
Speaker 5: So we had a whole four President came back and
Speaker 5: then I get here in five and we take a
Speaker 5: trip to go over at to Baltimore.
Speaker 4: Yep, that was a much shorter trip, and that was.
Speaker 2: In and out.
Speaker 4: We got we got it in Gore.
Speaker 2: We broke camp and had a good time.
Speaker 5: So it just all depends on how camp is going
Speaker 5: for you as a player and how the camp is
Speaker 5: set up, you know, you know, as a whole.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, yeah, and again like it brings them together.
Speaker 1: It is a little bit of adversity, right, kind of
Speaker 1: news environment. But I think the way Dan's handled up
Speaker 1: there is probably pretty smart. So like we're not gonna
Speaker 1: be driving, We're gonna get to the hotel, we're gonna
Speaker 1: have a practice, they're gonna have the day off before
Speaker 1: the game, you know, meetings and stuff like that, and
Speaker 1: then we're gonna have the preseason game. So I think
Speaker 1: it's just it's gonna be I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: handled well. I think people are smarter. We're not.
Speaker 2: We don't want long road trips.
Speaker 3: Also, he said this is not just about the players,
Speaker 3: it's about the coaches learning their game routine going against
Speaker 3: other coaches. So I think that that should be said,
Speaker 3: especially when you're dealing with a new coaches staff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, that thing that leads us really nicely
Speaker 1: into the preseason game. And so I think if you're
Speaker 1: a fan watching, and this is a question, what are
Speaker 1: some things you you watch for, you guys watch for
Speaker 1: when you're watching the preseason.
Speaker 2: I'm watching for the youth.
Speaker 3: Okay, to go out there and show me what you
Speaker 3: do when the lights are bright.
Speaker 2: Uh. To us, it's just another game.
Speaker 3: To them, it could be your last time living your
Speaker 3: dream on this field. It could be the beginning of
Speaker 3: something special. I want to see who wants to be
Speaker 3: a part of this fifty three And if you, if
Speaker 3: you're a fan, take your feelings out of it. I
Speaker 3: know fandodom is short for fanatics. Take it out, take
Speaker 3: it out, control your emotions. Look at the game, studious say,
Speaker 3: my office gonna be calling Bland plays. My defense gonna
Speaker 3: be calling Bland plays. So really it's a wrestling match, like,
Speaker 3: that's what it is. Who is physical and who is
Speaker 3: not all right? And who's gonna make a up.
Speaker 5: I knew that we was going to be a little
Speaker 5: off of how we look at things because I just
Speaker 5: know you as a person. I know me as a person.
Speaker 5: I'm always that you know, I don't need much. They
Speaker 5: just need the right stuff. I mean to see what
Speaker 5: I want to see, and that's.
Speaker 1: What you're different.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So just you ask that question, and I'm looking
Speaker 5: for detail, lineman assignment. How we get out of the
Speaker 5: huddle as a unit, you know, as a team. I'm
Speaker 5: not really looking for to shine. Yes, you're going to
Speaker 5: have that chance, But I want to see as a team,
Speaker 5: are we moving to the same tempo?
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?
Speaker 5: How far have we how far we have to go,
Speaker 5: and how far have we come from the first day
Speaker 5: of training camping to now. So you know, as a coach,
Speaker 5: if I was a coach, that's what I want to
Speaker 5: see my team. I want to see us moving in
Speaker 5: the same direction. I feel like if we're moving to
Speaker 5: the same tempo, then of course we're going to be
Speaker 5: on point when it's come to time, making they plays
Speaker 5: and doing stuff at the point.
Speaker 3: Because if your third screen is getting it in and
Speaker 3: at the huddle, do it crossing the teams in your eyes, well,
Speaker 3: you know your first screen is you're well taught.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that's one thing when you hear coaches get
Speaker 1: frustrated in the pre see the game, it's like, man,
Speaker 1: these guys really care about this. It's it's more like
Speaker 1: a barometer for your program.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like how you look.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing I look at it
Speaker 1: like I want to see again, Like if you're looking
Speaker 1: at the offense right, you're going to see like day one,
Speaker 1: two three install like pretty vanilla, pretty basic stuff, but
Speaker 1: alignments split spacing as quarterback on time? How are the
Speaker 1: protections are their free runners? Like do we understand what
Speaker 1: we're doing.
Speaker 2: Making the tackle?
Speaker 3: Yes, like doing this supposed to be easy to stay
Speaker 3: on their block, keeping your feet when they're supposed to be,
Speaker 3: keeping your hands inside small thing.
Speaker 5: Even if you didn't make the play or the block,
Speaker 5: you know you knew where to go at you you
Speaker 5: was going in that direction. That guy just you know,
Speaker 5: outwheeled you or did something that you know that he
Speaker 5: was supposed to do.
Speaker 4: So I look for all that the same thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think obviously talent's a big part of
Speaker 1: that for sure. And one thing I wanted to ask you, guys,
Speaker 1: but I forgot to ask you in the joint practice part,
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers are going to play in the preseason game.
Speaker 1: They just announced that, right, Yeah. But one of the
Speaker 1: things about joint practices you get to see that good
Speaker 1: quarterback what I've been saying, and so like what what
Speaker 1: is the expectation for the defense? And I also think
Speaker 1: it's really interesting too. This is just thought I had
Speaker 1: right now we're thinking about it, is you get to
Speaker 1: compare jayde Daniels to Aaron Rodgers. You get to see
Speaker 1: them throw for throw live and living color, which I
Speaker 1: do think is a is a really excellent barometer. Like
Speaker 1: with Robert down In when we were in rich Richmond,
Speaker 1: it was Tom Brady was like, Oh, yeah, like that's
Speaker 1: what that's.
Speaker 2: Supposed to look, That's what it looks like. Great.
Speaker 1: I think that that's another thing for for the quarterbacks specifically,
Speaker 1: But what does it mean for the defense.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say this too. That wasn't fair for Robert honestly.
Speaker 2: And you got to think about it's not fair for anybody.
Speaker 4: No bingo, it wasn't fair.
Speaker 5: But yeah, I want going to this joint practice saying
Speaker 5: that I'm going to be trying to compare Jayden too
Speaker 5: to the old Aaron what.
Speaker 4: You call him double check.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this camp discount double.
Speaker 5: I won't compare it to him, but it would be
Speaker 5: great to see how Jayden.
Speaker 1: Rise to the let's just say like a mess. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying like.
Speaker 5: I wanted to see him say Okay, look across the
Speaker 5: field and say I got to go out there and
Speaker 5: make a plate your way, but make a play him to.
Speaker 2: Say, I want to learn learn from how he do things.
Speaker 3: If I'm a coach, especially if I had Tom Brady,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I got Robert.
Speaker 2: I'd be like Robert, pick.
Speaker 3: His brain, watch what he's doing, watch how he does
Speaker 3: stuff to watch what he.
Speaker 2: Do, so I want you to mimic him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it's also like, you know, they're
Speaker 1: gonna down to Miami and two, it just got paid
Speaker 1: this big contract. Like how does he do It's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's good that he's going to see good quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the way, and it's good for the defense they're
Speaker 1: going to get to see her.
Speaker 5: And just one of the things that we've been hearing already, man,
Speaker 5: you know from Jayden, you know. And it's not something
Speaker 5: that we're gonna sit here in to this horn because
Speaker 5: I think it's too premature to do all that, but
Speaker 5: just everything he's been just playing this far. You know,
Speaker 5: all the vets, Terry and those guys on the other
Speaker 5: side playing defense against him, they just say, he's do
Speaker 5: everything right. He's a guy that ball placement, the way
Speaker 5: he get the ball in his hand, the things like
Speaker 5: he's he has players gravitating to him. When you when
Speaker 5: you hear people saying that you're gravitating to that to
Speaker 5: your quarterback. Yeah, he's the puppet master right now. He's
Speaker 5: doing his job because that's what you want. You want
Speaker 5: the team to be with you in unisons. And I
Speaker 5: think that's great for a young guy. We played with
Speaker 5: a lot of young guys, played with Jason Campbell. I
Speaker 5: didn't gravitate to Jason Campber Jackson quiet standout Jason.
Speaker 4: To this day, I can say this to him because
Speaker 4: that's my dog. I love Jason. But we was like, Jason,
Speaker 4: wake up, we out here, we over here, you know.
Speaker 5: And it's like, I'm The reason I'm saying is because
Speaker 5: younger guys take it on differently, you understand, And it's
Speaker 5: a it's a hard task to sit there and say
Speaker 5: this organization is on my shoulders. Yeah, now what do
Speaker 5: I do? You gotta have a guy with a different
Speaker 5: kind of personality, and I think I think the role
Speaker 5: of Robert for the way he handled it his first year,
Speaker 5: even though he did it differently, and it was like
Speaker 5: it was like watching the guy who was leading a rock.
Speaker 2: Band at times. Oh yeah he was.
Speaker 4: He went out there in ball you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: So for him to go out there and stand up
Speaker 5: in the paint, you know, kudos to Robert for doing so,
Speaker 5: but I know it was a task.
Speaker 4: And when things hit the.
Speaker 5: Fan, that's when we realized, like, Okay, now I'm a
Speaker 5: little puncture, Like what can you do now?
Speaker 3: You Siver city? Everybody don't bounce back well up from adversity.
Speaker 3: Versity is a test of life. You've been used to
Speaker 3: it going this way, but now he's going this way.
Speaker 3: What your butt gonna do?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, obviously, like we talked about
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, talked about adversity, talked about Jade Daniel, guys
Speaker 1: that are gonna make this roster. But I also think
Speaker 1: the great thing about the preseason, you know, Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: not have to worry about the preseason because they're gonna
Speaker 1: take care of him all the way through. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: even really Jade Daniels, you know, second overall pick. But
Speaker 1: there are a bunch of guys in this first preseason
Speaker 1: game that are putting that kind of first stamp on
Speaker 1: the resume, basically saying I deserve it. Are there any
Speaker 1: bubble guys that you're looking at and you say, I don't.
Speaker 3: Like to just say a guy's on the bubble because
Speaker 3: with this new coaching staff, like if this coach staff
Speaker 3: had been here four or five years, I think we
Speaker 3: would have a better feel of who's on the bubble
Speaker 3: and who's not.
Speaker 1: But what about a guy like Bryson Tremaine. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I feel like Bryson Tremaine has been making plays. The
Speaker 3: question in bryceon Tremaine is not how will he make
Speaker 3: it plays at wide receiver?
Speaker 2: What is special team?
Speaker 4: What else can you do?
Speaker 2: That's the cause, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like, there's a dude who's been balling right, he looks good,
Speaker 1: YEA been making plays. How does he make the team?
Speaker 1: He comes out on teams and throws down and make
Speaker 1: some plays on offense.
Speaker 2: Can he be a gunner?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think he's been working at PP two, he's
Speaker 1: been doing personal protectives.
Speaker 2: Can't he block a gunner?
Speaker 3: Like you gotta have some in your repertoire that says,
Speaker 3: you know what I do, play receiver, But I want
Speaker 3: to be like Pringle and I want to stay on
Speaker 3: these rosters from playing special team.
Speaker 5: I think the doors wide open for anybody, especially this
Speaker 5: first prese is game already knowing a little bit in
Speaker 5: detail that how we're gonna you know, you know, have
Speaker 5: things going when it comes to the first team.
Speaker 4: Take a team at thirteen.
Speaker 5: So what I would be looking for is just those
Speaker 5: guys who are going to get most of the reps,
Speaker 5: the twos, the threes, and the fars.
Speaker 4: The ones already saying them, all of them. I want
Speaker 4: to I'm gonna watch them in a game setting.
Speaker 2: Now here you go.
Speaker 5: This is this is your real game. It's not a
Speaker 5: preseason game for you, guys. This is your time to
Speaker 5: show me that you deserve to be on this roster.
Speaker 5: Because we got guys who are we already believe that's
Speaker 5: going to make this roster.
Speaker 4: They're not playing. So this is your chance to say, Okay,
Speaker 4: it's on me.
Speaker 5: I get to start, I get to rotate, I get
Speaker 5: to go out here and make these plays. How do
Speaker 5: you how do you, you know, take on the stuff
Speaker 5: that we're giving you and when it how can you
Speaker 5: translate it to the football field.
Speaker 1: Is there one guy in particularly like so?
Speaker 5: So? Yeah, I think if I look on this list,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna call some of these names. They're gonna be obvious,
Speaker 5: but I'm gonna do so because I want to see them.
Speaker 5: Jamon Davis, he's with the.
Speaker 1: Speaking name of you peek like if like like sorry
Speaker 1: to cut you off to but like you got to
Speaker 1: rush the pastor h yeah, and this is your time
Speaker 1: to do it.
Speaker 3: Yes, right now, and this is gonna be the easiest
Speaker 3: pass rush you do up the whole year.
Speaker 5: Next he's one of them. I'm hey, it's the elephant
Speaker 5: in the room Forbes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, let me see you. You're gonna be out there,
Speaker 4: you too.
Speaker 3: I think they want to see Phillips fail and stand
Speaker 3: back up more than they want to see him succeed.
Speaker 3: They want because the dB it's not it's like it's
Speaker 3: like being in the battles box.
Speaker 2: I don't need but three three a team and I'm
Speaker 2: an all star.
Speaker 3: The one thing I can say all good conerbacks do
Speaker 3: well is that short memory.
Speaker 2: You could burn me.
Speaker 3: For eighty yards and I like, it ain't never happen.
Speaker 3: And that's what they want to see from Ford next.
Speaker 5: And then you got guys like Trent Scott you know
Speaker 5: right tackle you have down Brown Row get to the receivers.
Speaker 5: This is like one of those situations right now when
Speaker 5: it comes to so many guys, when you have the
Speaker 5: kids and he pringles back beyond me.
Speaker 4: They're dangling those guys back here for a reason.
Speaker 5: They're gonna let you know that he we want to
Speaker 5: we want the best core we can we can build,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Yo, he has to shine
Speaker 5: and step up right now in the preseason show he
Speaker 5: can do something other than being a receiver.
Speaker 4: Maybe he makes the team that way. So those are
Speaker 4: fruit guys, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But Darrian Matthew.
Speaker 5: Matt he's a guy that's kind of you know, you know, yeah,
Speaker 5: he's in the depth chot. But I think that's the
Speaker 5: obvious because, like I say, you come into this first
Speaker 5: preseason game when you already have it, have a formats
Speaker 5: set up. These are guys gonna get the most reps. Yeah, now,
Speaker 5: how well can you go out there and do what
Speaker 5: we ask you to do?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think that's a great point. Like I couldn't
Speaker 1: have said it better myself. Just two a couple more
Speaker 1: names that I want to see. Chris Paul can he
Speaker 1: play both right and left guard?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And then of the tight ends, Like you know, we've
Speaker 1: got those three dudes at the bottom, yank Off, Turner
Speaker 1: and ARMANI like which one of those threes stick stick
Speaker 1: acts out? So they're gonna. I think they're probably gonna
Speaker 1: keep four based on how they're using it was.
Speaker 5: The guy that we all loved that didn't play last year,
Speaker 5: Ammonia right, No, it was but Rogers, though it was Rogers.
Speaker 5: Rogers was the one that had a steralar twenty one
Speaker 5: season or.
Speaker 4: And last year got Yeah. I like that guy.
Speaker 2: I want to see.
Speaker 3: It's a Cole Turner, Like coll Turner has been turning
Speaker 3: heads since he got here at this time of year.
Speaker 3: Like the question is, and you brought it up, can
Speaker 3: you do it when it counts, be consistent?
Speaker 1: And so I think those those three guys, and then
Speaker 1: the other one would be Chris Rodriguez from me Man,
Speaker 1: because he's a guy that I think I've I've talked
Speaker 1: to him a couple of times. Great kid, works hard
Speaker 1: and doesn't his play style doesn't show up until he's
Speaker 1: in pads. Yeah, And so this is the first time
Speaker 1: they're going to be in pads against another team and
Speaker 1: get that big.
Speaker 2: Body rolling because the cavity that he wrote.
Speaker 1: And I think he could open some eyes here in
Speaker 1: pass protection catching the football. And again, like I think
Speaker 1: he made the team last year because he ran hard
Speaker 1: and it was against Baltimore made them look like, yeah,
Speaker 1: so does he do the same thing now does he
Speaker 1: have the opportunity because it's going to be tight, tight window.
Speaker 2: But also I want to bring up Andrew Jones junior.
Speaker 3: I think Andre Jones, Yeah, like is he a guy
Speaker 3: I love it, got great.
Speaker 2: Personality, length, speed? Uh can he turn the hands up?
Speaker 3: These coaches like this is what I think is this
Speaker 3: is pretty much is the most even playing.
Speaker 2: Field you can x for in the NFL.
Speaker 5: And then you got to understand too, like this is
Speaker 5: the thing that gets tricky because I remember being on
Speaker 5: a team like this where you have a new staff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you.
Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying, this is the most even, So
Speaker 5: it won't those things like, man, look you I can't
Speaker 5: take these these opportunities lightly. This is like this is
Speaker 5: this has my whole livelihood right now. Yeah, so every
Speaker 5: opportunity I'm not I got to put good, you know,
Speaker 5: good stuff on tape.
Speaker 1: And then I think, just we talked about pretty much
Speaker 1: every position, but the safety spot for me, you know,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Reeves is the two right dominic Hampton Percy Butler
Speaker 1: Tyler Owens has had a really nice couple weeks of practice.
Speaker 1: Does any one of those guys say, hey, look at me,
Speaker 1: I'm knocking really loud.
Speaker 3: I deserve to be on making a couple of plays
Speaker 3: and brought it up Percy Butler is a guy that
Speaker 3: played a lot of football last year.
Speaker 2: You draft in Hampton, like Derrick Farres, like default, like
Speaker 2: is a guy that's in a fight right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's why I think this first priesting game
Speaker 1: is always so much fun. Is because, hey, it's fun
Speaker 1: because you get to see everybody for the first time. Right,
Speaker 1: it's football. But also these are the things that we've
Speaker 1: been We've been following the team for a long time.
Speaker 1: When we finally get some type of answer, some type
Speaker 1: of direction, and hopefully these guys sees that opportunity.
Speaker 3: Were shot to see Monogamy returning kickoffs? Is he he's
Speaker 3: the number nineteen, right, Yes, he's the kickoff returning at
Speaker 3: number one, not Casey or Alley.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So what I'm not shocked because I think he has
Speaker 4: a thicker you know what.
Speaker 1: I mean, big guy, And I think he's he's done
Speaker 1: a really nice job at Nickel and so if he's
Speaker 1: going to be your backup Nickel, like he's got to
Speaker 1: play teams. Yeah, and so if you're looking for a return,
Speaker 1: I think with the kickoff stuff, I've been saying this
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks now, I think you want
Speaker 1: a bigger body, especially after watching that Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like break, you need somebody that can break two taps. Watch.
Speaker 5: I watched your boy who was here with us run
Speaker 5: that first kickoff. What his name was, number eighty two
Speaker 5: for the Texans, he was eighty six and for the Textans,
Speaker 5: I believe eighty two or eighty six.
Speaker 2: Was play here.
Speaker 4: He played receiv here.
Speaker 1: What his name Sims?
Speaker 4: Sims there you go, Yeah, I right, sim Siems got
Speaker 4: that first one.
Speaker 5: And I watched a body fall and he was he
Speaker 5: was going in that hole, and I'm like, see, that's
Speaker 5: where you need a running back because.
Speaker 2: He'll put their foot in the ground.
Speaker 4: He jumped, but the running back and run through that.
Speaker 5: You see what I'm saying, So you need for those
Speaker 5: like I watched that thing very carefully, and I'm like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I want to do a takeaway from a guy like
Speaker 5: Reeves who run down the field and make plays and
Speaker 5: on the kickoff side of it, and then I want
Speaker 5: it does to take away from a return who's running
Speaker 5: the ball, who's a much lighter guy, who's faster and quicker.
Speaker 4: Where does he he's.
Speaker 5: Staying When it comes to just how tight it's going
Speaker 5: to these holes are going to be tight, So you're
Speaker 5: gonna have to come in with different kind of counters
Speaker 5: and plays.
Speaker 3: Like a job for your whoever your third down back ends,
Speaker 3: they beg they.
Speaker 2: Can catch after back.
Speaker 3: This look like a job for Eric Metcalf, It looked
Speaker 3: like a job for Dave Meggett.
Speaker 2: This what type does this is?
Speaker 3: As The funny thing about it, b Mitch would have.
Speaker 1: Been perfect these kick He would have been running like
Speaker 1: I actually remember watching I was watching the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame game, and I was like, I had the same thought.
Speaker 1: I was like that downhill attacking style with killing this
Speaker 1: because think about it, if you get through that.
Speaker 3: Line, if one person miss you and the kicker I
Speaker 3: was more of a scatter.
Speaker 5: That's why I you know, I did kick off all
Speaker 5: the way up until I did in my first year
Speaker 5: in the league as well.
Speaker 4: But I couldn't deal with this stuff.
Speaker 5: I'm watching this, I'm like, bro, I don't like this,
Speaker 5: Like I need room, you know, I need I need
Speaker 5: to make one guy miss and then get it. Yeah,
Speaker 5: turn on the speed boosters or whatever. But yeah, it's
Speaker 5: just like you need a back bro. You need somebody
Speaker 5: that's shifty and has a gear to that. Then once
Speaker 5: he gets past that line, man, it's all you know,
Speaker 5: he'll break loose.
Speaker 1: Honestly, I thought, like Chris Rodriga, like how he runs
Speaker 1: would be perfect, like just get just put your foot downhill.
Speaker 1: We're having a car crash if you turn it down.
Speaker 1: I'm scaring to touch it like this because again, like
Speaker 1: I I've watched when I was covering the XFL, this
Speaker 1: is how the return was and I and I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: you can do some trick returns. You can like revers
Speaker 1: it and the gap skin stuff. But then the coverage
Speaker 1: guys are too fast. Now they're too fast, they're too good.
Speaker 1: So you got to be a little bit more. I
Speaker 1: think stylistically changed.
Speaker 2: I think you have to put some strint that on
Speaker 2: his speed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, all right. So the other big thing we're
Speaker 1: talking about for the Priests game is looks like Jade's
Speaker 1: gonna start yep over Mariota shocks. No one does shocks,
Speaker 1: no one, It doesn't matter, is it important? And what
Speaker 1: do you want to see, Well, we.
Speaker 5: Probably not see much. I said that before, but it's
Speaker 5: one of those things too, man. You know, do they
Speaker 5: give him a couple of plays like you know when
Speaker 5: when when Roberts started. I know this is a different time.
Speaker 5: You know, that first group went out there that first
Speaker 5: game and went out there and ran about ten plays
Speaker 5: and it was a nice one because I think we
Speaker 5: drove down the field and scored. I remember ps going
Speaker 5: to touchdown. So you know, it's one of those things
Speaker 5: you will want to see that. But I think having
Speaker 5: this joint practice you get a chance to really probably
Speaker 5: see it then and then probably this first preseason game.
Speaker 5: You say, okay, well we saw nothing to joint practice.
Speaker 5: We don't need to see it for the first preseason
Speaker 5: game because it's there's going to be that game that
Speaker 5: comes up where everybody's gonna play like I have. Maybe
Speaker 5: they get him ready for that that that game instead
Speaker 5: of seeing him this first preseason game.
Speaker 3: Regardless if he touches the field, I need beyonddish.
Speaker 2: It's his center, this first team.
Speaker 3: I need my first team offensive line out there to
Speaker 3: protect this first team guy.
Speaker 2: And if he throwing the ball, I want him to
Speaker 2: be throwing.
Speaker 3: The ball to the first team WHI I receive, I
Speaker 3: handed it out to the first team running back.
Speaker 2: It's just one of those things.
Speaker 3: I can only insulate him with protection by letting the
Speaker 3: first team do to protect.
Speaker 1: I think that's a great point that Tanner brings up too.
Speaker 1: It's just like you if you want to see him
Speaker 1: with the ones, like let the ones run, get them
Speaker 1: a drive or too. And I remember Mike used to say,
Speaker 1: and Kyle and Shawn you say the same thing. It's like, hey,
Speaker 1: if you scoring our first drive, you're gonna be done, Like, go,
Speaker 1: go do it.
Speaker 4: Give me out the game, coach.
Speaker 1: The hard part is you're so amped up and you're
Speaker 1: so nervous. Usually yea three and out the sideline and
Speaker 1: then you got it. Then your second drivers, I.
Speaker 3: Say, but then that's kind of help to do because
Speaker 3: you got the pants. Now let's go out here, guys
Speaker 3: and let's drive.
Speaker 5: All calm down, because I remember I had I had
Speaker 5: a game plan, like you know you actually, I don't
Speaker 5: know if we asked this question, but like I had
Speaker 5: a serious game plan. I wanted to be in there
Speaker 5: for as many players that do the ones that's gonna
Speaker 5: be in and I want to catch that was my
Speaker 5: game plan.
Speaker 4: Give me a catch, Let me get these butterflies out. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know, I get it. Once I got that catch,
Speaker 4: I ain't want more than one.
Speaker 5: But I've been in some preseason game where I caught
Speaker 5: four or five, you know, But I get that one.
Speaker 4: Okay, I've seen enough, coach. Let me go ahead and
Speaker 4: go by my food. I used to love.
Speaker 3: I love staring the game on defense, but I want
Speaker 3: them to sweep the ball my way.
Speaker 2: I want to get dirty, like I want to. First
Speaker 2: of all, I want to. I want to I want
Speaker 2: to try to run. I want listen, y'all can see
Speaker 2: here and Tyle, you want to. I played the run
Speaker 2: very well.
Speaker 3: All my defense coaches tell you I played.
Speaker 2: Nobody turned my car.
Speaker 1: The reason I did. I don't why.
Speaker 2: Jason laughed, Yeah what Jason?
Speaker 1: Seeing the moment again, I laughed because, like it's just
Speaker 1: such an unexpected answer. I know you played good football
Speaker 1: and your tough football player, but it just is not
Speaker 1: what people expect. I think of you, at least what
Speaker 1: I expect.
Speaker 3: I want them to turn. I want them to try
Speaker 3: to turn the corner. So now I feel like I'm
Speaker 3: a part of the football game. Forget just coming out
Speaker 3: here on his free rate and covering the wide receive.
Speaker 3: The football game still got to be played. And once
Speaker 3: I got dirt, I used to roll around in the
Speaker 3: gray and I'd be like, yeah, now I'm ready to
Speaker 3: play some football.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. There's something to it, like something being
Speaker 1: involved in that physical action really, Like it's like you've
Speaker 1: been in pad. So I remember a game against Tampa
Speaker 1: was our first preseason game, and I pulled out to
Speaker 1: cut the corner. You just made me think of it,
Speaker 1: and I was running out there and I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna smoke this dude, because like, oh camp get a chance,
Speaker 1: you can smoke them, right, But like also they can
Speaker 1: cut you now, oh yes. And so that dude came
Speaker 1: down and put me face first into the turf and
Speaker 1: I was like, forgot about that one. I got to
Speaker 1: reevaluate my contact rules here. But so that's another reason
Speaker 1: for preseason. It's like you're getting back in at tackling, blocking, cutting,
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff because it's live and in
Speaker 1: living color. So now let's talk about the most important
Speaker 1: part of this podcast, and that's game predictions. Who is
Speaker 1: gonna win this preseason game? I can't even do it
Speaker 1: with the strip and doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: The fans for the Washington gonna win and the fans
Speaker 3: for the Jets going. They are so hyped up in
Speaker 3: the Jets fans to see Aaron out there again, and
Speaker 3: we so hyped up about a new draft pick, and
Speaker 3: they not gonna play, not winning. They want to say
Speaker 3: the way is winning because football is back.
Speaker 2: They don't win. They don't see they guy.
Speaker 3: I'm saying, yeah, it'll probably what's the dude the Jets
Speaker 3: got up there, Marshall, Bill Little?
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's his name?
Speaker 1: The guy with the hats?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I played in New York.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 4: Those Jet fans are brutal.
Speaker 5: I hope they tell them earlier that that Roger's not playing.
Speaker 5: And I don't want to hear them a guy.
Speaker 1: That they can put the pressure out early just they're better.
Speaker 1: So again, fans win. I think that's one hundred percent right,
Speaker 1: does does it matter?
