All right, It's just totally not. 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.040 I mean, I have to say I've gotten dressed up 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.600 every year for like the last ten years. 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.560 I've been fred Snow for the last five years. 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:36.039 So this I enjoyed the holiday like it's genuinely one 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.520 of those days where thirty days. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.399 Out, I'm preparing for it. Like I'm preparing for it. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:43.319 I have to get my I had to get my outfit, 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.560 I had to get everything going, so I'm ready for 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:46.520 the weekend. 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.040 Not just to day. Yeah, for the weekend. 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.080 Well, it felt like a holiday when we got the 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.720 announcement that we're very close to having the commanders return 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.480 to DC at the RFK stadium side. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.560 Now again it has to be approved by the DC 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.520 City Council. 0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.240 So they got to approve the. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:01.640 Just part of it. 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.920 But when we heard the announcement and you watch the 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:06.880 press conference, we're gona talk to Bram Weinstein here in 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.680 just a couple of minutes and get his thoughts on it, 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.880 because he was there and being the MC. 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:12.640 If you will, what did you think? 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.440 I loved it? I loved it. 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.320 I wish I had I wish it was in my 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.880 playing window that I got to go back to RK. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:23.240 But it just it's it works, it fits. 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:24.560 It just feels right. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.240 It feels right because I was always one of them people. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.560 I'm like, we are the Washington football team. I stay 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.359 in Virginia, I play in Maryland. I don't do anything 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.280 in Washington side go out, all right, So for it 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.560 to be back at the Melica and just just look 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.560 at what the net stadium has done for the water 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.400 huge it is that created his own. 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:46.240 Little pocket over there. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.160 Yeah, so when you put this stadium here, not only 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.400 are you getting another waterfront, it's another business district. Like, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:57.799 So it works, it's supposed to be there, It's it's 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.000 a natural fit. Right, I'm gonna say, Jinx, it's a 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.880 natural fit. And you're talking about the super Bowl in 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.040 the Nation's Capitol, talking about the Draft in the Nation's Capitol. 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.359 You're talking about. 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:14.240 Taylor Swift concert with Travis Kelsey there in the Nation's Capitol. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.800 Like it just works it, Make it happen, Make it 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:18.320 happen DC. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.800 Yeah, And it's I think it's important to point out because, 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.680 like as you said, if you didn't see Navy Yard 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.000 before where it is now, you wouldn't recognize it, you know. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.639 Kelly Johnson, Right, yeah, So Kelly and I are Ty. 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.560 We go back a long way. I mean, she covered 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:32.919 the team for a long time, one of the best 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:33.320 ever do it. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.520 So she came to visit last year and she lives 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:38.200 out west now, and so we were Navy Yard and 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:38.760 she was like. 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:39.560 I can't believe it. 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:40.880 She's like, this is Navy Yard. 0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:41.200 Yeah. 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.720 I was like yeah, She's like wow. And she was 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.440 in the district for a long time because it. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.920 Looked like an odd spiel before it got over there. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:49.880 If you really want to know what it looked like, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.600 it was a odd spill over there, right, That's what 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.880 it was. Now is vibrant now it's condos there where, 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.360 it's restaurants everywhere, it's it's two stadiums not one. Yeah, 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.600 you got about body feel is over also, so it 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.080 just recreated a whole business district. And I think this 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.440 was happening if they put the stadium back there. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.520 So let's get some perspective on this and bring in 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.600 the voice the Commanders. Of course, at a Bram Weinstein, 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.920 and he was there on Monday for the big announcement, 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:18.520 So we got to talk about this and bring in 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:21.600 the voice the Washington Commanders, Bram Weinstein. Bram, always good 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:23.640 to see you, even during the off season, but this 0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.400 is especially exciting, not only because you're here, but also 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:31.080 because now we are very close to the Commander's returning 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.920 to d C. Still needs to be approved by the 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.680 DC City Council. But before we go into some of 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.400 the particulars, I know you have some very personal memories, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.640 some very vivid memories of your time there. Can you 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.200 take us back just a little bit and kind of 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.679 give us a little scene setter. 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.240 Yeah, there was such a full circle thing, and I'm 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.000 just so you know, privileged that they gave me a 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.560 role in a moment like that. I mean, it's historic 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.839 for the city, for the region, you know, obviously for 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.520 the team as well. And I'm with you, like, nothing's 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.039 done here, So hopefully this will this will get past. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.320 But we'll let the city council and the mayor and 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.279 you know, the government officials do their work with the 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:09.640 team and hopefully this becomes a reality and that we're 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.160 we're calling games in five years at o RFK Stadium. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.200 But you know, I grew up here. I went to 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.120 RFK as a kid. I fell in love with the team. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.960 You know, that place was part you know, football stadium, 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:20.479 part church. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:21.000 Really. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.080 You know, I think for a lot of us it 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.760 was a religious experience going to games there. And obviously 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:27.800 it didn't hurt that the team was a dynasty, you know, 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:31.359 throughout the eighties and nineties, and you know that was 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.839 I've had a lot of really cool moments with the 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:34.760 position that I have. 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:36.840 I got to call a Hail Mary. Last year. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:38.440 You know, we got we had a twelve and five season, 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.559 they went to the NFC Championship Game. All these things 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.080 I'll never take for granted. It's been a magical year, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.040 but that that thing on Monday is going to stand 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:47.480 out for me. For the rest of my life. I mean, 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.040 it was a historic moment for the entire region and 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.599 it was just it was incredible to be privileged to 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:54.880 have any role in it at all. 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.719 How huge will this be potentially for the city? We 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.400 sort of have proof of concept, I feel like with 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.000 National's part. No, it's a different franchise, but you're talking 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.840 about the revitalization of an entire area in Washington, d C. 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:10.080 Yeah, I think you know, in some places, you know, 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.160 the stadiums could become anchors, and I think in our 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.680 city it has in two different locations. You know, when 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:19.400 a Poland moved the Wizards and the Capitals to downtown Washington, 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.200 d C. It completely revitalized the Chinatown area of the district. 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.279 And I know, you know, not to talk about, you know, 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.680 Ted Leeltison what he wanted to try to do, you know, 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.240 recently with a potential move, but I think part of 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.960 that was he wanted to see the revitalization. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:34.239 Continue and it be an anchor. 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.400 But for a very long period of time, it totally 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:40.520 changed that part of the city. Nationals Park Outyfield has 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:44.320 totally revitalized and anchored a part of the city where 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.120 you know, I grew up here my entire life, Janks like, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.480 we didn't go to the Navy Yard like no one ever. 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.200 There's never a reason to frequent it or be down there. 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.000 And it's anchored that part of that city. It's become 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.080 a hub where young people live. It's a growth, you know, 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.360 part of the city. And I think the state think 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.360 it happened here with the RFK stadium site. They've had 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.800 two proof of concepts for it. Obviously, a large portion 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.840 of this will be a stadium, but there are parts 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.480 of this deal where a lot of pieces of this 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:15.040 land need to be developed differently. I think for the 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.920 investment to work for all sides, that it can't just 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.160 be a stadium, and I think they're being cognizant about 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.560 all of that, and so, you know, I believe this is, 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:25.600 you know, the right thing obviously to say it here. 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.920 It's the right thing for them, for everybody to do this, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:30.920 and I hope that it does go through. I think 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.680 it's it's a perfect place for the stadium to be, 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.960 you know, karmically historically, it's hallowed ground. It feels like home, 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:40.000 So I think, I know, I think I speak for 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.320 the region and if you just ask Commanders, fans, where 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:43.040 do you want it to be? 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.120 It is there, you know, so I think everything kind 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:48.360 of checks off the boxes. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.840 And what will happen with the revitalization as far as 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.120 how the city, you know, reacts to it, I don't know, 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.800 but we do have two prime examples of sports stadiums 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.880 in this town being anchors for economic activity and that 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:00.800 economic growth. 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.480 So you said, this is a full circle moment, and 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:07.200 I'm sure what reinforced that was seeing all these franchise 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.400 legends there at the same time, everyone on the same 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.480 page saying this is where the study belongs. 0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.400 Yeah, it was really cool. I mean, you know, we 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.680 had legends there. Rigo was there, Darryl Green was there, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.360 Doug Williams was there, Joe Gibbs was there. I thought 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.800 it was really fitting that here's Joe Gibbs sitting next 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.640 to Dan Quinn, you know, like almost like a true 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.080 passing of the torch, like the glory days of this 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.520 franchise in the stadium that was beloved by the region, 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.120 and they're sitting next to each other. And the last 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.960 time that Washington had a season like the one that 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.640 they had a year ago is when Joe Gibbs was 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.240 coaching them back in nineteen ninety one, so it felt 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.319 very fitting to be part of that. I you know, 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.000 you never know, like it's a press conference, so you 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.400 don't know what the reaction is going to be, but 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:49.319 like that was raucous in there. You could, like the 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:54.680 genuine emotion of this announcement being made was really truly breathtaking. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.640 And again, I just you know, I was just. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:00.199 So happy and really you know, honored that they asked 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:01.920 me to have a role in that, because for me, 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:03.800 I'll just never forget that for the rest of my life. 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:03.960 You know. 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:06.480 I love this franchise, I love the position I'm in 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.960 with it. I'll never take it for granted. And that 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.320 moment just to have any role or part of that, 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.360 really it's truly, it's really really amazing. 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:16.920 And potentially we're talking about, which is hard to believe 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:18.800 I'm saying this, we're talking about maybe down the line 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.400 even as Super Bowl being here in the district of Columbia, 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.839 but yeah, have the infrastructure, we have the stadium for 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.800 and that's something that I hadn't even thought about until recently, 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.080 but that's a real possibility. 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:29.520 Yeah, I think so. 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.800 I mean, the stadium is it's going to have a 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:34.080 roof on it, like clearly, you know, I know I 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.439 saw some of the renderings, and you know, I was told, 0:09:36.520 --> 0:09:37.960 you know, these are not final renderings. 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.280 This is just concept design. 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.199 A couple of the elements to me, are like I think, 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.280 are keepers, like a viewpoint from inside the stadium to 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.880 the monuments or the capitol buildings. Seemed like an obvious 0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.559 thing to do putting a roof on it. I listen, 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.160 I'm an old school I love the elements. You know, 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.920 I love that too. But for this to work for 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.600 everybody in the modern NFL and really in modern entertainment, 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.439 this needs to be a facility that could be used 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.800 three hundred and sixty five days a year and to 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:07.719 have the type of events three hundred and sixty five 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:08.839 days a year, they're going to have to put a 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:13.559 roof on it. Otherwise you render a building like that unusable. 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:16.560 For if the Tailor Swift Aerostour concert's going to come around, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.120 it's gonna be very difficult to hold it there in 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.320 January or February. I think, you know, there's a lot 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.319 of there's a lot of potential use cases here in 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.480 major tours and entertainment and all sorts of things, and 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.040 a roof is just going to be necessary unfortunately. You know, 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.480 I love elements, but you know, from what I saw, 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.160 you know, it looks like you know, I think it's 0:10:34.200 --> 0:10:35.679 everything you could ask for it. It's going to be 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:38.080 a modern build whatever it ends up looking like. And 0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.840 I'm very excited to see what a final design would 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:42.560 look like if this does actually go forward. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.960 Why'd you got the aras Turin? I know analy likes that. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.240 But before we let you go, just I'm sure you've 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.760 thought about it. It's a few years away, but time 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.000 moves quickly. Have you thought about actually calling a game 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.640 there at the RFK side here in what twenty thirty? 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.160 Yeah, I think it's going to be very emotional for everybody. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.440 I mean, it's like you're going home. This has been 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.520 a long, long, long winding road to go home. 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:04.719 You know. 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:06.240 When I've talked to you know, all of the people 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.400 who are watching this, and like they know the history 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.520 of why why RFK became blight, It's because the federal 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:13.960 government was under control. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:14.200 Of the land. 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:16.839 This wasn't up to the DC City Council to choose 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.840 what they wanted to do with this land. Tract, and 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.720 it just had been held up in red tape for 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.480 a very long time. So like when I tell people, 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.839 you know, there's a reason why this happened like this, 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.800 but there was a natural let's go back there feeling. 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:32.840 I think amongst the fan base for a very long 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.439 time that it was a really long, long, long winding 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.560 road to get back to this point. It would be 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:40.160 incredible to call a game there. And to your point 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:41.960 about the super Bowl too, I have a hard time 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.080 believing Washington's not getting a super Bowl if they do 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.880 put a roof on a stadium. I mean, Roger Goodell didn't. 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.040 He didn't say that would happen. He can't say that's 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.360 going to happen. But this is a pet project for 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.720 him too, and I think the way he put it 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.199 was their application looks a lot different with a new 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.720 stadium here. So I'm hoping we get the draft on 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.720 the National Mall. I'm hoping we get a super Bowl here, 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:05.960 and I hope we start to kind of, you know, 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.720 take in some of the major prime calendar events and 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:10.439 then who knows. 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.120 I mean, with the team that they. 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.280 Have, the quarterback, that they have, the culture that's being 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:17.200 built and all the good vibes around the city, the 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:21.440 region rallying. It's showing support by like wanting to bring 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.080 them home and wanting to have a stadium. You can 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.400 feel the support around the region. You know, I hope 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.680 we're going to be winning big and maybe even winning 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.240 bigger than they did a year ago in the very 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:29.880 near future. 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:31.640 It seems like the perfect time for it. 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.319 It's all coming together. He's ran Weinstein voice and the commanders. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.760 We appreciated brand Thank you. See Jackson so Bram was 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.040 there and you can just tell that he sort of 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.080 mirrors the excitement they were all feeling with that potential returning. 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.320 We're really close, so excited about it happening. And on 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:49.080 top of all that, had a great draft. Yeah, we 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.640 were in Navy Yard, Yeah, cover the draft and there 0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.280 were a lot of different That was a good time. Yeah, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.600 I had a lot of great fans and at the time, Josh. 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.920 Connery isn't where we thought the team was going to go. 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:00.720 But I'll tell you, the more you get to watch 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:02.280 this guy, the more you listen to them, the more 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.400 you realize exactly why AP made this pack. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:05.600 Well, it's reinforcement. 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:10.640 Reinforce what first of all, it's protecting asset. JD five 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.640 is the asset to protect, and why are you protecting 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.319 his asset? You might want to solidify what I call 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.160 the wild Boards, the new version of the wild Hawks. 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.720 You want to make sure. And when I went through 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.720 and looked at position by position, almost four out of 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:31.600 the five positions are pro bowlers, right, Lad Thomson pro bowler, 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.280 Tyler b ODI's pro bowler, Coleman moving to guard. 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:35.920 I think he's gonna be a pro bowler. 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.400 And you got to realize, Sam Cosmi said, already solidified 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:40.520 himself as a pro bowler. 0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:41.719 So now you. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:44.480 Are protecting the asset and JD five back there, and 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.840 then you look at all the things that the teams 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.640 in the division did I do a card A sexy 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.960 DEXI Trippado, that's New York. You know what we got 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.360 in Jayden Carr, I mean Jayden Carter with the with 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:59.880 the Eagles. Yeah, then you got to realize they call 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.040 for reinforcements in Dallas that has had a very good draft. 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.240 I'm not gonna knock it. We had a very good draft. 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.840 So when you look at what we did, we just 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:10.000 kinter acted what they was doing. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.280 Yeah, man, haven't We said with the Eagles that one 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:13.800 of the reasons why they've been so good is that 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:16.080 they win in the trenches. They're good on both lines 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.200 of scrimmage, and so you cannot go wrong, especially when 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.640 you have to face a team like that twice twice. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.400 And that's what we did. We went, we went, all right, 0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:26.400 this is the apple cart. We got you, no problem. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.160 That's what you want to do. You want to be sized. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.120 We can do size. And that's why I challenge everybody 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.720 to go out here and watch their fielm of Connolly 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.400 versus Abdua card Or while they was in college. 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:39.960 Because he man handled, Yes he did. 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.200 He man handled him and taught him a lesson and 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:45.600 gave him blessings, all right, So you got to love that. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.320 So I thought it was very smart by the brain trust, 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.120 very smart by Adam Peters to make sure you show 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:53.080 up your offensive line. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:54.880 I forget what I was watching, but it was someone 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.080 who was giving some insight on Connolly as a person. 0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.480 And he wants to know, which I love guys like this, 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.240 so where he doesn't just want to know his position, 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.800 he wants to know about the entire offense. He wants 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.880 to soak everything in because like that, he's a football savant. 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.240 It's not just me, like I want to know what 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.400 this guy's doing, what this guy's doing, what this guy's doing, 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.320 And when you have a guy like that who lives 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.480 and eats and sleeps football, that's just gonna help you. 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:16.920 Listen. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.080 When I heard that about him, it almost made me 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.440 so happy that I stopped thinking about the fact that 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.280 Travis Hunter rent number two, and now Shun Springs is 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.480 not the highest drafted cornerback of all time. He won't 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:30.960 answer my phone. I've been calling him. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:32.200 He knows what's coming. 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.320 Yes, he's been three d throwed it. He don't want 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.040 to talk about it. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.440 But to hear that this kid is a savant like that, 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.280 because I was like that, I want to know what 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:44.840 everybody doing because now I can really figure out my 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.600 game playing inside of your defensive call if I know 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.040 what everybody doing and where everybody should be. So this 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.520 telling me he has a higher level, and that what 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:55.840 makes him a commander. Pick that's what it means to 0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:56.560 be a commander. 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.400 I saw something just sort of related but not really. 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:01.040 It was an whatever you with Tom Brady was a 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.320 couple months ago and he was talking about studying the game, 0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:05.200 and he was saying that when he would go to 0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:06.960 the line of scrimmage, how all the work for a 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.120 quarterback is done before you throw the ball. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:10.400 And he was saying something. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:12.840 Like, I'll look at that safety and because he moved 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:14.640 his arm this way, I know he's about to go 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.640 here and this is the coverage, and I thought. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.640 That is while to do that much study. No, we 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.880 are trying to hold it as long as possible. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.400 I know, I know people remember this, they remember paying 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.360 many one thing they used to do at the coast, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.680
