28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 4: that Frankie levou Man.

00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: You gotta CRUs.

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: But Frankie levou Man and I seen him in training

31
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: and he's one of those guys, like you said, he

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: come out of the locker room. He's a dude and

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: we knew that he could play linebacker. I had no

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: idea learning if we talked about it each week.

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Man, did you see that pass rush move?

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 4: Did you see his effort and and what he brings

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 4: to the table along with Bobby and the rest of

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: the defense. But I think he's that he's that dude

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: on that defense. And I've been really impressed with with

40
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: him and his performance weekend and week out and when

41
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: he's when he's there, Frankie lavou for me, louvu for me.

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 4: On the defense side of the ball, it's been great.

43
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: Are we talking about offenses as well? Or we just

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 4: think whatever, Yeah, he's my guy, and then on and

45
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 4: then and then on on the offense side of the ball.

46
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: Is we can talk about you know, Jade and I

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 4: want to say that for Santana, but b Rob Man

48
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 4: b Rob his and we had him on the on

49
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: the show early year and he's talking about turning it

50
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 4: up Week two Giants hunting thirty three yards. He's that

51
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: hammer catching out the backfield, doing everything we've we've asked

52
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 4: him do. Nicked up here and there, but for the

53
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: most part, man, I've been so impressed with that kid,

54
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: along with others, But for me, it was be robbing

55
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: the way he's been doing, the way he's been running

56
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: the ball behind that good offense line and everything setting

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 4: up give making people put one on one coverage for

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 4: the guy on the outside to eat.

59
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: But he's he was an ex fractor for me.

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: You know, I think.

61
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 5: It'd be obvious if I came out with an offensive guy,

62
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: or you know what I mean.

63
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna let you guys have y'all way with.

64
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 5: You because you know I bring it. When I bring it,

65
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: I make you really think about it.

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make you put on your.

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 5: Thinking happens again for this one, And I got to

68
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 5: give credit. I'm going back to coaches, going back to coaches.

69
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: You know, I like to I like to give coaches

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 5: some praise. It's a guy who ain't give enough credit

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:31,839
Speaker 5: to man.

72
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: I think that is a.

73
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 5: And what he's doing that special teams man, I mean

74
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 5: our special teams, you know, kickoff team, kickoff return team,

75
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 5: or a kicker.

76
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: The way he's been he's being on.

77
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: I mean as a core, this group is ranked in

78
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 5: the top three right now.

79
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: You know, coming into the game a.

80
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 5: Few weeks ago, you had Pittsburgh and US ranked in

81
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 5: the top two. You know what I mean when it

82
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 5: comes special teams wise, So I think is it don't

83
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 5: get enough credit for what he's he's done up to

84
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 5: this point in the season. And that's that's the way

85
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 5: you win championships when you have offense, defense, and special

86
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: teams play on the same acord.

87
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna get my dub.

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get my mid season dub or the season

89
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 5: to Iszo Man. I think he's doing a tremendous job,

90
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 5: you know, as a coach, as a special teams coach,

91
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 5: and he got those guys flying. And I mean when

92
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 5: you see the kickoff team, even though they had that

93
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 5: little funky thing, they got to sit there and wait

94
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: for the guy.

95
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,480

105
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: For him to be playing at the level he's playing

106
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 2: so quickly.

107

112
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: Eventually, we knew he was gonna play. We thought we

113

114
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: He's exceeded expectations, and it really is about the way

115

Speaker 1: he's going about it from day one, from the first

116
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: time we interviewed it. Extremely impressed with him with the amility.

117
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: We've all been around rookies who haven't accomplished, accomplished nearly

118
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: as much as day that's accomplished, and they come in feeling.

119
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,760

Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in the MVP conversation.

123
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: I just Rookie the year, but the MVP conversation has

124
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: his team where we're sitting right now, and I keep

125
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: telling y'all, he's.

126
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: Only going to get better. That's the schedule about it.

127
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: Just to speaking to add a little bit, you talk

128
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: about humility.

129
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 5: The kid told us after the hell Mary, when we

130
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 5: had them on Game Day Lives postgame show, he.

131
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: Says, that's God. He's like, I got to be living right,

132
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

133
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 5: And the reason why I wanted to say that because

134
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 5: it's crazy you said humility. And the first thing I

135
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 5: thought about I wear I got a tattoo when I

136
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 5: was in high school.

137
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: It's a Bible scripture.

138
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 5: And it's crazy because my one of my daughters just

139
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: got baptized. And then my oldest daughter the other day

140
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 5: just asked me like that, what are some of the

141
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 5: things can I pray about?

142
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 3: How you teach me how to pray?

143
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 5: And for her to be twenty plus, so she's twenty

144
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 5: actually and she wants to learn how to pray. And

145
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 5: you know, I always bothered them about that because I

146
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 5: told him, I've been praying since I was a little boy.

147
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 5: Like we didn't grow up in the church, but I'm

148
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 5: always praying. I'm praying when I get up, I'm praying

149
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 5: at night. And I was happy to hear her say

150
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 5: she want to learn, you know, and she wanted to

151
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: get closer to God. And I send her a scripture,

152
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: the scripture that I got tattooed on me, and it

153
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 5: says it's James fourteen, and it said, humble yourself before

154
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 5: the Lord, and he will lift you up.

155
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: And I told her I walk with that, you know

156
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: what I mean.

157
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 5: And everybody wanted the tan of why you're so soft

158
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 5: sport while you so humble, while you take on That's

159
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 5: been my life.

160
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: I didn't try to be humble. It was born in me.

161
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: It was instilling me.

162
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: And as I was coming up to learn myself a

163
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: little bit, I found the scripture that identify that, you know,

164
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 5: identified with So listening to him say that about the

165
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 5: Lord and about living right to watch him play, it's

166
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 5: not a It's not a surprise to me why he's

167
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 5: successful because he knows a higher power and he believes

168
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 5: in and he's doing the right things to get itself

169
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 5: prepared because you know, one of the things about opportunity

170
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 5: is the preparation part of Like, if you're not gonna

171
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 5: pare it for the opportunity, then.

172
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 2: You're gonna fail, you know what I mean.

173
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: So you can say everything he did up to this point,

174
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 5: he prepared itself to have these moments, and that's why

175
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 5: you know, you got to give it up to him.

176
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: You also thinking about the another dub of the weak

177
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: of who I give dub of the being seasoned?

178
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 2: So I got to give it to.

179
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: The ownership group, and the reason I give it to

180
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: the ownership group. And you know, they've done a they've

181
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: done a tremendous job and all the things they've added

182
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: around not just here but also at the stadium and

183
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: fan experience and trying to make things better. But I'll

184
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: go back to the process they went through first and

185
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: foremost and hiring Adam Peters. Yes, they had, they had,

186
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: they had a plan, you know, Josh Harris leading that obviously,

187
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: and him in the process that he went through, having

188
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: bringing in Bob Myers and having Rix Bildman as guys

189
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: who helped him through that process. And you know he

190
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: allos other sports teams, and he knew he'd hired general

191
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: managers and head coaches before and all that, but knowing that, hey,

192
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: this is this is a different element. Football is different

193
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: than basketball, or different than soccer, whatever the case may be.

194
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: Let's bring in some other people to help me with

195
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: this process and identifying Adam Peters and from there Adam

196
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 1: Peters and ownership, hiring Dad Quinn and putting that together.

197
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: And for this to come together so quickly, you have

198
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: to it's ahead of schedule. There's no other their head schedule.

199
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: And then what we are right now.

200
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: And to that point, the trades, Yeah, the trades and

201
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 4: some of the guys who bought and free agency. We

202
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: talked about bringing Bobby early. Bobby was in that veteran leadership, uh,

203
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 4: trading for trading for Marshaun, you know, before the deadline

204
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 4: when we needed until we talked about what that meant

205
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 4: for the organization and drafting j Those three, those three,

206
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 4: those three moves along are life.

207
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 2: The draft pick, not.

208
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: Even talking about that trade, that trade with Johann Johnson.

209
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, earlier in the season.

210
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 5: I mean that right there was puzzling at first, but

211
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 5: then when you look at the whole you know, picture

212
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 5: of what they're looking for in the receiver and what

213
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 5: they got for it was. It was basically helpful too,

214
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 5: because you think about we.

215
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 3: Lost the third, but that third. Having that third kind

216
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: of gave us that third back.

217
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: So, oh man, you're right, Cliff Kingsbury, this is all sirus. Yes, sir.

218
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: You know, he was a head coach at Arizona a'm

219
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: out of college with the air raid offense, and it was,

220
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, a different type of offense coming to the league.

221
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: And Cliff, there was.

222
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: A during the preseason we used to have him on

223
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: like once a week we'd have the coaches. We had

224
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: him on a conference call, and he talked about having

225
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: these other coaches from these different backgrounds. Yep, having coach

226
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: LeAnn having uh Brian Johnson, who was the offensive coordinator

227
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: came from with the from Philly and kind of bring

228
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: bringing that all together and creating the Washington Commander's offense

229
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: and him just saying, hey, when I came to the league,

230
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: all I had was my offense from Texas Tech, right,

231
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: and now creating an NFL offense. Y'all surprised about how

232
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: how this offense is operated and come together so quickly

233
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: and being able to not just coming together but producing

234
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: the way that they're.

235
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 4: Well, you're absolutely right, because the air raid offense traditionally

236
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 4: like doesn't have the feel of that. You know, you

237
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: run a stretch play and stuff like that, but in

238
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 4: the counters and you don't have the vertical passing the

239
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 4: vertical passing game get the ball out. But it seems

240
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: like there's a special combination of the run game pair

241
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: with their past game mixing that we understand the talent

242
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 4: that we've had in getting those guys. We got a Hammer,

243
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 4: we got a third down back, we got Terry, we

244
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,479
Speaker 4: got Zach, the line, and then the run game complements

245
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 4: the line and all whole, all whole, bringing Jayden along,

246
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 4: and we've seen Jaden just continue to get better from

247
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 4: each one each week. So I would say I'm surprised.

248
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 4: But when you think about Brian, Coach Lynn and the staff,

249
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 4: and it's the right combination because he was quarterback WI Springford, Philly,

250
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 4: Brian was with Jalen, and Coach Lynn is a monster

251
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: in the run game and Clifford is just a genius guy.

252
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 4: So I just think it's like, like you said, dude,

253
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 4: that's a it's a beautiful mix of personality.

254
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 5: I won't say I'm surprised. I had no expectations. I

255
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 5: really didn't. I didn't.

256
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 3: I knew.

257
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 5: One thing that that stood out to me is when

258
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 5: I saw Cliff in his stint as a head coach,

259
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 5: his running game always was second to none. You got

260
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 5: to think about it. Connor was over there killing him

261
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 5: was he was? And so with that in mind, the

262
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 5: first thing came to mind. That's why I was barking

263
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 5: up the you know, telling everybody the whole year, I

264
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 5: can't wait to see be Robbs because knowing that everybody

265
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 5: know what we're going to do offensively with the just

266
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 5: the air raid attack and thinking that that's how it's

267
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: going to be or how it's going to look, he's

268
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 5: going to get to that run game. It allows him

269
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 5: to show us week in and week out how special

270
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 5: this offense could be. And I think he spent a

271
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 5: lot of time with the guys that he brought around.

272
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: You think about it. We brought the Johnson.

273
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 5: Coach, we brought them from Philly, you brought in and

274
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 5: you talked about Lynn. You know, all these coaches have

275
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 5: been in good offenses and had their role in why

276
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 5: that offense was special, and now you bring it to here.

277
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 5: It's a copycat league. You know, we want a lot

278
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 5: of game aims doing things that other teams did. So

279
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 5: I think altogether, man, it's it's a unity of coaches that's.

280
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: Putting their head together.

281
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: And but Cliff getting a lot of credit for and

282
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 5: he and they're doing a damn good job.

283
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: Another coach has done our standing job bringing some guys together.

284
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: Joe with Jr.

285
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: Hissic coordinators love love, Joe has his press conferences.

286
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 5: He he keeps Obama, Obama the football version.

287
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 3: Let the man talk.

288
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: I want to just let him go.

289
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: For him to be at a You think about how

290
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: the defense was first couple of weeks, how they started off,

291
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: and then how he's been able to.

292
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: Take this defense to another level.

293
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: Get everything he's got out that pass rush. Those guys

294
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: who are like, all right, we're gonna get the pass

295
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: from your boy, Frankie Louvu obviously.

296
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: Uh. You know, other guys have emerged. Newton emerged, Newton Fire,

297
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: the Foller has emerged, Cleveland Fair or Armstrong. You know

298
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: a bunch of guys.

299
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: Bobby what he blessed his and then getting the guys

300
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: on the back end the communicating play a lot better.

301
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 5: You guys both play defense, and I'm gonna just tell

302
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 5: you my perspective of watching defenses and playing against them,

303
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 5: it's very seldom that you see a defense that shows

304
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 5: you who they are.

305
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 3: And got better.

306
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, shows you a completely new defense later in the season. Now,

307
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: don't get me wrong, they might be a little fine

308
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 5: tune on some of the things that they didn't do well,

309
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 5: but you never see them just like, what the hell

310
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: did that come from?

311
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: Like you know what I mean?

312
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 5: So to see these guys come out and you're like, Okay,

313
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 5: damn what we thought we was weak at. So that's

314
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: what I give a lot of credit to these guys

315
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: for as a whole, because it seems to me that

316
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: as much as we want to talk about these players

317
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 5: and how well they're playing, it all stems from the coaching.

318
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: It all stems from.

319
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 5: What they building and how they created this thing, this

320
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 5: bond of brothers and the culture that they're setting. I

321
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: can just imagine I want to be a fly on

322
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 5: the wall one day. I want to go in the

323
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 5: room and I want to hear or see one of

324
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: these coaches speaking to somebody who didn't show up in

325
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 5: a run fit, or who didn't or who didn't go

326
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 5: out and block a guy blocked the safety, you know

327
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 5: as a receiver.

328
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: I just want to see what he's saying to him.

329
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 5: Because I can imagine it already that he let them

330
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 5: know he can't win like that.

331
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 3: You ain't being a dog right now.

332
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 4: What I was impressed with when we and why I

333
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 4: figured the defense would get better London.

334
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: We saw in camp when we were working camp, they.

335
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 4: Went the individual, then they went to two on two drill,

336
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 4: you know, then seven on seven this situational you know team.

337
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 4: But what was the first I think me and you

338
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: both were impressed, Well, like man, they were really breaking

339
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: the game down and teaching football, you know what I

340
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: mean teaching And we was up there looking like man,

341
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: look they're working on the in and out drill and

342
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 4: man coverage. They're doing switch routes, or they're working on

343
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 4: breaking on the heads and or they're doing this. So

344
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: that was I knew at the defense with coach would

345
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 4: eventually get get better. They would communicate more, Bobby and

346
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: all the team will come together. That's freegingson do well

347
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 4: what feelings you know.

348

Speaker 3: It's that time. Let's start drive time, Rive time to drive.

356
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,880

357
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 5: teams more than I hate the Eagles, and the Eagles

358

Speaker 5: fan base is just the worst of them all.

359

361
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,360

00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,840

379
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 3: Again.

380
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: I loved it because I just like that type of batality.

381
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: First time you played the Monday night football. This is

382
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: old seven. I can't hear they throwing heads at our bus,

383
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: these type of It was a couple of seasons. Fast

384
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: forward a couple of years later and I knocked out

385
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: two of the Eagles. I knocked out the runner back

386
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: of that Brive Westbrook and the crazy thing. He hit

387
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: his head on my knee and he had a concussion.

388
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 2: He was out.

389
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: Then I caught uh Sean Jackson on the dig lady

390
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 1: by the middle field. He he had he didn't finish

391
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: the game. This is all in one season. But I

392
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: got death threats for the Eagles.

393
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 2: I mean, we can laugh about it. I don't know.

394
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm still here, so they didn't, you know, yeah, carry

395
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 1: it out, but it's just like, damn, because I a doctor.

396
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: A couple of y'all players out there, Man, I wanted

397
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: to I'm trying to.

398
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 5: It shows you how much how much these games mean

399
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 5: to some of these fans. Speaking of meaningful games, Man, London,

400
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 5: you was, I believe you was calling this game in

401
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one when we went up there today.

402
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 2: Night football game.

403
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was twenty twenty two, twenty one.

404
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 5: It was a little recap, man, about the feeling what

405
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 5: you saw that that night. I mean, you had you

406
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 5: had an Eagles team that was riding high. They hadn't

407
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 5: all the game. They were defeated, you know what I'm saying.

408
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 5: They hadn't lost the game.

409
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 3: Man.

410
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 5: We went out there with the mentality that we see

411
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 5: from our team now, you know what I mean. These

412
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 5: guys better than Beauty and nobody.

413
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, just remembering that game, I think they were eleven

414
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: and if memory sarves me correctly, I don't know what

415
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: our record was, but it was the mindset of the

416
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: game plan we went into that game, and if we

417
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: didn't run it forty times, we ran it.

418
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 2: Close to forty times. And I can remember all there.

419
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just a thing of beauty because

420
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: we had been up until that point throwing the football alive,

421
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: you know, trying to get the passing game going. But

422
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: in that game, I was like, man, this looked like

423
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,959
Speaker 1: the Redskins.

424
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: Right, this looked like the Hogs.

425
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean they just poled b Roberts running that ball

426
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: all over them.

427
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: Man.

428
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: Its just it was just a physical mindset, the physicality

429
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: of that ball game. It was you talk about the thing.

430
00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: It was a thing of beauty.

431
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 2: Watch we had. I think we had four turnovers in

432
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: that game.

433
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 3: I remember foot and they caught it.

434
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: Was.

435

441
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: Tremendous like almost like a Willie Mays type intercept. I

442
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: think it was the Willy Mays interception or somebody else,

443
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: Saint Juice I think knocked the ball out that Ford's recovered.

444
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: It was just, man, it was a place being matter

451
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: and we were getting after him, and I remember him running.

452
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: Old run about.

453
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,119

455
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 4: hit somebody else.

456
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 5: Knowing that we are facing these guys at their home

457
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 5: on Thursday night.

458
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 3: What's like playing there?

459
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 6: Man?

Speaker 3: I mean I remember the old what.

461
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 5: It was called the bet Yeah, yeah, that was not

462
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 5: like the other.

463
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? But does this new stadium

465
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: Sean? You you had to play.

466

468
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 3: When the filter.

469
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: Was like this, I thought you, I thought you.

470
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: I know, you know all. But guess what to we played?

471
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 5: We played against the Owls Temple.

472
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: You know that that turf was terrible, terrible, terrible I've had.

473
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: I think I may have played the Eagles more than

474
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: any teams teame of my career because when I was

475
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: the same Lewis, we played them, played me in the

476
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game, played them a couple of times during

477
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: the regular season.

478
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: You against Andy Reid, huh yeah, Andy Reid, big flet

479
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: that's mind for a big fletch.

480
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: I used to get after the Eagles many I wasn't

481
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: the fair favorite of probably the Eagles players and coaches

482
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: because I don't believe in making friends on the on

483
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: the field. I talk, I talk all the time about

484
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: there was no peace treaty. I don't before a game.

485
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: I'm not talking to you. I don't care if me

486
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: and you grew up together from from little league when

487
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: we stepped between these white no, not even we ain't

488
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: even got to between the white lines.

489
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 2: Soon you come out of tunnel, as soon as I

490
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: know we're playing that week. Soon A man, we ain't.

491
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 2: I'm not your friends. There is no communications.

492
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't want a small I don't want a small

493
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: talk with you before the game. I don't want to

494
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: exchange jersey with you after the game. You're still the enemy.

495
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: Ain't no chumming it up matter I want. I'm here

496
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: for blood.

497
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: Tonights gonna be some blood. It's gonna be some blood.

498
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 5: It's gonna be some I'm actually looking forward to more

499
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 5: so now just knowing, because you know, I was skeptical

500
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 5: about just where we was at corner wise, and I'm

501
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 5: not saying that our corners haven't been playing good or

502
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: playing up to, you know, the level that they're supposed to.

503
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 3: But I know when you have a guy like a J.

504
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 5: Brown and DeVonta Smith, you you need more than just one.

505
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 4: So we got obviously Brian who was quarterback culture after

506
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 4: Eagles and he's in stall some stuff, but he also

507
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 4: knows that does that give an advantaged way with one

508
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 4: way or the other.

509
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: Brought up, brought that up, I forget all about that.

510
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 5: I just mentioned him, and I forgot that having him

511
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 5: here will give us a little keys on what they

512
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 5: do offense the receivers. That's definitely gonna be a big help.

513
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 5: And now that you say that, along with who we

514
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 5: just brought in, I'm looking forward to that matchup for

515
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 5: the measure for that standpoint only, but I just I

516
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 5: feel like this is one of those matchups man, where

517
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 5: even though I've heard a lot of people signing with,

518
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 5: you know, with the Eagles, I feel like I'm happy

519
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 5: to be on that spot. I'm happy to be in

520
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 5: that space because I understand what we're doing here. You

521
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 5: know what we're what we're creating here, and I think

522
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 5: this team is gonna be more than ready man to

523
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: go out there, man, and go out there.

524
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 3: And really and have a nice showcase of some good

525
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: divisional football.

526
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 2: This is a great segue and to set the talk.

527
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 2: Great great segue to set the talk, because we're.

528
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Gonna we're gonna actually talk about the Eagles is even

529
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: more detailed.

530
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: So it's time to set the tone.

531
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Johnson Kendo Johnson, the official insurance

532
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: broker and risk management partner of the Washington Commanders, where

533
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,239
Speaker 1: our passion is your protection. First off, let's start with

534
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: this Eagles defense man top five and total yards top ten,

535
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: and passing yards top five, rush top five and rush

536
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: yards allowed, tear the total points per game. They playing

537
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: some defensive Remember they got a new defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio,

538
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: and he's been an architect of some great defenses.

539
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 3: He don't play.

540
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 1: How we're gonna be able to move the ball, score, points,

541
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: rush against these Eagles, we just can't.

542
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 2: We can't brush over that.

543
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 4: For the folks out there about Fangio, Fangio is is

544
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 4: somebody that's a nightmare that you need to prepare for.

545
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: So just to give him a little bit of background,

546
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: Vic Fangil was the defensive coordinator for the forty nine

547
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: ers when they went to what for NFC Championship Championship State.

548
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's his other other defenses as well. Yeah,

549
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 2: he's like the father of one of the one of

550
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: the old GI's, one of the ol g's.

551
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 4: And this is this to me, will probably be the

552
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 4: best defense we faced. Yeah, from a scheme wise and

553
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: just talent wise, so, but not a defense that we

554
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 4: can't we can't do some things to but it's gonna

555
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 4: be one of those like, hey, for the first time

556
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 4: we might have a defense, try to dictate some things

557
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 4: to us. And I think all the first half of

558
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 4: the year and the whole most of the year we've

559
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 4: been out there is trying to say, all right, we're

560
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: gonna read off of this, we're gonna run past option

561
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 4: off this, and we're gonna go we're gonna attack you here.

562
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: Now.

563
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 4: We gotta be a little bit of like like how

564
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 4: we're gonna scheme them up a little bit.

565
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 2: We scheme them all up.

566
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: But do we have to again, I don't believe in

567
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: peace treaties, man, we gotta we still got to going there.

568
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 5: Like I hear him, talking, but no, no, no, no, when

569
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 5: when when?

570
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 4: When I say that, meaning like there's some defenses that

571
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 4: do what they do and then there's fangio you don't

572
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 4: always know what they do. That's what I mean by

573
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,239
Speaker 4: I said it's like first time, like everybody has been

574
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 4: a page, Like he gonna throw some looks at you.

575
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 2: You ain't. You definitely definitely make your heart old Jayden

576
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 2: from a cover standpoint cover.

577
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 5: Standpoint, And then you've got to just also compare what

578
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 5: you've seen are already on film. I mean, they've been

579
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 5: susceptible in all those areas where they're tough at People

580
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 5: have scored on them, people have ran the ball on

581
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,639
Speaker 5: them basketball. So it's like any other defense, you just

582
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 5: got to go out there. You haven't saw us yet,

583
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 5: We haven't seen you yet. We watch each other on film,

584
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 5: that's all we see. That's all we know until we

585
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 5: get out there on the field together. Then we really know.

586
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 5: You know what can be done and what can't be

587
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 5: done against them. And that's what I think is gonna

588
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 5: ball down to.

589
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: It's it's it's the physicality, the physical physicality of this

590
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: ball game, both sides of the ball, the two trenches,

591
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: they got they got an excellent offensive line.

592
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 2: You know, they got an excellent defense.

593
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 1: But just looking at our our defense against their offense,

594
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: having the stop of Saku Bark, I don't know how.

595
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: To giants let him go to the division that is

596
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: like I want to do jumping backwards on the brow

597
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: you're gonna jumping.

598
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 5: I was trying to explain it and the best way

599
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 5: I can as a ball carrier, because I've been in

600
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 5: a situation where you and that you and your bag

601
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 5: so much with your moves to where the next move

602
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 5: you didn't even expect to do it, but.

603
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: It just came, and I'm like, that's incredible to have.

604
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 5: It's almost like he wanted to spin and saw buddy,

605
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 5: and it's like, let me jump and split. It was

606
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 5: just man, bro, It's almost like he praised this thing

607
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 5: that was like some matrix.

608
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 3: Like he paused in the air.

609
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: Here's the crazy thing. He had just hit somebody with.

610
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: Spin gave y'all, y'all see the Nike. Uh they put

611
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: the witness backwards. You ain't see the Nike. He would Yeah,

612
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: I already made it a marketing there. Yeah, so they

613
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: got they got him jumping backwards, and you know how

614
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: I said Witness, how they used to do with the

615
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 1: UH with the Nike logo with Lebron so they got

616
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: the Witness spelled backwards like logo backwards.

617
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: That's when you coach. That's when you when you but

618
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: to your point where they when you see a kid

619
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: can do something like that. You're talking about being in

620
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: your bag and movies like that.

621
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 4: Everybody to the ball, and we're gonna have to be

622
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 4: relentless and our purshoot to the ball, and we're gonna

623
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 4: have to get after that.

624
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 5: And you gotta think just what he did for the

625
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 5: Giants last year when the Giants was crap, you know

626
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: what I mean, Like he was the reason in both

627
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 5: of those games where we lost.

628
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: The game, you know what I mean at it from

629
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: the standpoint, that's why you go out. You give Marshawn Latamo,

630
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: you get you get corners that can Hey, I can

631
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: put more resources to stop to the sae Quon Barkley.

632
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: That's why I mentioned Hey, yeah, the past defense. He

633
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: brings a great element to the past defense. But also

634
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: he should improve our run defense because now I can

635
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: I can leave my corners out there a little bit

636
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: more on the high land because I need. I need

637
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: an eighth man in that box. I the safety. I

638
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: need they run some RPOs. I need somebody ready to

639
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: tackle Jalen Hurst if he decides to keep that ball.

640
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a great great chess matchup out

641
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: of a chill man, I missed them LC's battles.

642
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is one where you you know, when you

643
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes you get the feeling when you're going

644
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: to the game. You get it before the stadium something.

645
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 4: You're starting to get it, like you get it on Monday.

646
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 4: You get that feeling like okay, you can just feel

647
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 4: it in at practice, like there's some energy, and it

648
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 4: is some energy this week for this game.

649
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 5: I think n f C alone, I mean, just start

650
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 5: division alone. And this is it goes for any division

651
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 5: you ever played in. When you're playing against a team

652
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 5: that you that you know well and they know you

653
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 5: will it's almost like getting ready for that relative that

654
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 5: come over on special holidays that you can't stand.

655
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: Like you know how.

656
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 5: We all did, and so it's just like damn, I

657
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 5: gotta deal with this, you know again, and so like

658
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 5: you you're going you're gonna have your best jokes ready

659
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: for him.

660
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: You're gonna have your best whatever.

661
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 2: You know, I got a cousin. I can't stay at

662
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 2: this joker. You took me that time.

663
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, bro, I'm telling you to.

664
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, I need the therapy. I'm gonna have to

665
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: sit on the conc my cousin.

666
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: This is because of that. We grew up down there

667
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: in the same house. So I see you more than

668
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: just on the every holiday. That's something every oh man,

669
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: this dude gets some damn nerds. But anyway, let's digress.

670
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: Looking at this game, how would you Blue, how would

671
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: you defere Deavonte Smith to day J.

672
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 2: Brown by going out and there what we did?

673
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 4: When when you drafter, uh, Mike Sinstril, you have Forbes,

674
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 4: you have Saint Juice, you have a lot of more.

675
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 4: It's one, it's just sheer talent. And two, the pre

676
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: and POSTNP reads for a quarterback when they have explosive players,

677
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 4: it's critical. I don't think people understand how much that

678
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: helps guys in the back end and shore a shirtain.

679
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: Look, we talk about it all the time, so elaborate

680
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: on pre snap.

681
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: So the pre snap look is what the quarterback sees

682
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 4: before the ball is snap. So seeing too high safeties,

683
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 4: he now thinks could we could be in zone, but

684
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,479
Speaker 4: for some for some reason, he's probably gonna see it's

685
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 4: two half of the two guys on half of the field.

686
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 4: Right now, we know on post snap that can go

687
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 4: down to a single one of the safeties can cover

688
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 4: the tight end or whatever, and we can go man.

689
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 4: But it doesn't automatically means that we're gonna be a

690
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 4: man and they can just line up and say I'm

691
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 4: go right here to the backside. So I think the

692
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 4: pre and post snap unity and how they move together

693
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 4: and how they play, it's gonna be critical, and it's

694
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 4: gonna be we gotta get pressure on We don't have

695
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 4: to get pressure on you. We can cover them, but

696
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 4: we ain't gonna cover them all day. They're gonna make

697
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 4: some place. And but the confidence that we bring with

698
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 4: the secondary and the guys that we got in the secondary,

699
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: that's why you go. That's why we get first round corners,

700
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: That's why we get guys that that is just confident

701
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 4: playing in the slot.

702
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 2: And that's why we wanted we didn't free.

703
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: Agency anybody kind of You can think about this this matchup,

704
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: who you think gotta shot in this game? Who's gonna

705
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: shine it of the ball. It doesn't offensive defensively well shine.

706
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 3: Well, you know the thing that I love what I've

707
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 3: been seeing.

708
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 5: When you have a quarterback like what we have, you

709
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 5: got a receiver that's very confident, you gotta you gotta

710
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 5: receiver that did it with twelve other guys at that

711
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: same position where it wasn't coming to him. Now he

712
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 5: has a guy that he's building a whole chemistry with

713
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 5: and he they understand each other, the team allowing him

714
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 5: to be vocal enough to go out there. One of

715
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 5: the things that I knew from watching Terry go up

716
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 5: against the Eagles, the Eagles got a pretty nice, pretty

717
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 5: piece of talent out there at Conaback. That's what he

718
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: never played well against Terry. Terry always have his numbers.

719
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 5: So just knowing what Terry had done with other guys

720
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 5: like Heineke and you know, Alex and all those guys

721
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 5: for him to go out there and be productive. And

722
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 5: I can't say it's Alex name out dare As like

723
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 5: he's a slouch either either one of those guys wasn't

724
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 5: that you know Alex though he wasn't himself, but he's

725
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 5: still he was shot when he played you know that

726
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 5: one year when he came back, but I will say

727
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 5: what he's done so far this year, man, I'm really

728
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 5: looking forward to seeing Terry finish this season now, just

729
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 5: knowing that what he's built, he's only gonna get.

730
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 3: Better with it, you know.

731
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 5: I mean, this is this is like scratching the surface

732
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 5: right now, what him and Jayden Dames has built. And

733
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 5: I know he's gonna be chopping at the bitch knowing

734
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 5: that that boil cross the crossed away from him.

735
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 3: I had nightmare es up. But I think he's gonna

736
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:43,399
Speaker 3: be the guy.

737
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 5: I think offensively, he's gonna be a guy like I say,

738
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 5: we can always say five because five is the guy, you.

739
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 3: Know what I mean, But he's the guy for all us.

740
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 6: And then.

741
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting too. Man.

742
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 5: I think I offer is the line again. You know,

743
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 5: I'm gonna mention them because they keep rising. You know,

744
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 5: every time we get somebody in front of them that's

745
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 5: supposed to be world beaters, they find a way to

746
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 5: contest you together, form that vote, run and be hard

747
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 5: to stop. And that's what we've been seeing for some

748
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 5: of these games.

749
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 7: Man.

750
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 5: The only way we are productive offensively, the way we

751
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 5: are is because of those guys up front.

752
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm looking for them to be stars

753
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: that night Blue.

754
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: Who are you thinking?

755
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,479
Speaker 4: Who you think they shining prime time? Man, It's gonna

756
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 4: have to be the front getting after that Jaalen. Yeah,

757
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 4: because as much as we talk about our guy Jalen Had,

758
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 4: I mean he's since he's been in the league, and

759
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: they had a tough stretch last year, but before I

760
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 4: think he went on like a twelve or thirteen game

761
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: win Street. So I think it's gonna have to be

762
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,880
Speaker 4: the guys up front. But Newton has been coming on

763
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 4: the replacement with ja I mean, the guy's Fouler and Cleveland,

764
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 4: all these guys gonna have.

765
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 2: To get after him because he's the mobile quarterback.

766
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 4: So we're almost playing a mirror image of kind of

767
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 4: what they and and and and they're tough guys who

768
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 4: can run and throw.

769
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 2: Are a tough challenge for the D line, But for me, it's.

770
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: The D line.

771
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: I'll say the I'm gonna include the linebackers and I'm

772
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: say the front seven because I think you gotta I'm

773
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: taking away first and foremost, I'm taking away him, and

774
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna force Jalen.

775
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: Hurst to beat me. Now, he may be able to

776
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: do that.

777
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: But given picking my poison, so to speak, one dimensional,

778
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm making one dimension because one thing about Jalen he

779
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: will give you opportunities. Yes, make interceptions on the ball

780
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: and throw it up. I want to allow myself to

781
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: put get pressure on the quarterback making make mistakes throwing

782
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: the football. But I gotta start with stopping stopping sakuon Barkley.

783
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: All right, fellas, and one of the guys who's gonna

784
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: help and stop stoppingwon Barkley. It's gonna be Bobby Wagon

850
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 9: the hardest part is like trying to watch a basketball

851
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 9: game or trying to watch any sports at night because

852
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 9: everything comes on at like ten thirty or midnight. So

853
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 9: that's been the biggest judgment. Outside of that, it's been

854
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 9: loved like DQ's made it real cool for.

Speaker 9: It was cool seeing everybody out there. I didn't realize

866
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 9: how tall everybody was, you know, like everybody like seven

867
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 9: foot like I thought. I thought Steph was like my

868
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 9: highest sixty four. Yeah, he looked small standing next to

869
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 9: everybody else, but uh now it was cool watching those

870
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 9: young guys play, and they kept up with him for

871
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 9: a little bit.

872
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 6: But you know, Golden State showed their maturity.

873
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 5: Speaking of you know, you just spoke about Dan a

874
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 5: minute ago, seeing how he made everything easy. What was

875
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 5: it like knowing that she was going to be a

876
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 5: part of a team that structured by Dan Quinn?

877
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 3: Again?

878
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 5: I remember, you know, last year seeing you in Seattle,

879
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 5: seemed like you went back home and you was happy

880
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 5: and comfortable.

881
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: But a year later you back with a guy who

882
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:43,919
Speaker 3: meant a lot to your career.

883
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think you know, there's a lot of similarities

884
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 9: between how Pete kind of run it and how DQ

885
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 9: run it. But DQ, I definitely feel over Thomas has

886
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 9: found his voice, found how he wanted to do things,

887
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 9: and between him and coach Norton, like they've they've made

888
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 9: this transition smooth just because we've been around each other

889
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 9: for a long time. I think North coach me at

890
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 9: least I think nine out of my thirteen years, and

891
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,000
Speaker 9: so I've been around him for a while and DQ

892
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 9: we've always been in touch, So it's kind of like

893
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 9: you know, in a way coming back home with family.

894
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 6: You know what I mean.

895
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 2: I've been around it for a minute, So they know

896
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 2: what to expect from you.

897
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 6: They know what to expect. I know what's expect from them.

898
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 9: The communication is fluid, like we know how to talk

899
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 9: to one another, we know how to get each other going.

900
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 6: So it's cool.

901
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 4: So one of the things that when I first I

902
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 4: first seen you in Seattle when I went back, and

903
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 4: one of the first things, even as a rookie, the

904
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 4: first thing everybody in the organizations talk about, like this

905
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 4: dude gets he's a professional.

906
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 2: Like how does that happen where you're rook in the league.

907
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 4: What was the mentality like coming into the league that

908
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 4: this guy's prepares, he's a professional, he studies, he does everything.

909
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 6: Man, I just been you know, I watched the game.

910
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 7: Man.

911
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 9: So when I when I first got it here as

912
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 9: a rookie, I knew what it meant to be a rookie.

913
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 9: Like I knew I had to like pay my dues.

914
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 9: I knew I had to, you know, do all the

915
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 9: running around for the vest, but also like learn from them.

916
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 9: Like a lot of times I feel like sometimes people

917
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 9: come in and they think they know everything right, and

918
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:10,360
Speaker 9: it's like this is a new experience. Like when I

919
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 9: came in, I kind of considered myself like a freshman

920
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 9: type of jail, and I had a bunch of seniors

921
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 9: that was trying to teach me the way, and the

922
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,840
Speaker 9: people that grew the fastest was the ones that be

923
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 9: quiet and learned.

924
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 6: So I just try to do that.

925
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up, you know, being a student

926
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: of the game.

927
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: And I've shared this story a couple of times about

928
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: how you reached out to me on social media back

929
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: when I think it was about two twenty fourteen, I

930
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: was retired. You reached out to me, didn't We hadn't

931
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: talked to each other prior to that, didn't know each other.

932
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: You reach out to me just like, hey man, love

933
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:43,799
Speaker 2: that love it? You know, pick your brain.

934
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know about the middle lineback position. I also

935
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: know other people in the business world. They've told me

936
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 1: you've contacted them like cold calls. You also contact the

937
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: other former NFL linebackers.

938
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 2: What did that?

939
00:43:58,160 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 6: Like?

940
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: Self? Where with self? Where does this come from? And

941
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 2: be like, man, you know what, let me tap into

942
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 2: these people who are doing things that I want to do.

943
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: And do it at a higher level.

944
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,680
Speaker 9: H Honestly, I don't know. I think maybe I got

945
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 9: it from like Kobe or something. I think I heard

946
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 9: read a story where Kobe would like co call people yeah,

947
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 9: and you know, my mind said is like the worst

948
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 9: thing you do is say no, Like, you know, if

949
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 9: I reach out and you know, you want to show love,

950
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 9: then I get information. If I don't, then I don't.

951
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 9: But like you'll never know unless you ask. And so

952
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 9: I think that's kind of where that came. I know

953
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 9: for sure the business side came from, like stuff that

954
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 9: I've heard Kobe do. But you know, football wise, is

955
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 9: just like I've been a fan of the game and

956
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 9: I know who who is great, and I know the

957
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 9: people that played this game at a high level for

958
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 9: a long time, and like why not try to, you know,

959
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 9: reach out there, reach out and learn again. Like I said,

960
00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 9: the worst case is going to be like either don't

961
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 9: respond or be like I ain't got the time. But

962
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 9: at least at least they know I'm out there. So

963
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 9: that's that's kind of where that came from. Just wanting

964
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 9: to continue, you know, being a student of the game.

965
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 5: Speaking of being a student of the game, I'm not

966
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 5: sure if I heard right, but I think someone mentioned

967
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 5: that you're back in school too.

968
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: While you're down here.

969
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 6: Think about that. Yeah, you and Howard, I mean, Howard, how.

970
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 5: How was that juggling school and playing, you know, this

971
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,799
Speaker 5: first season here in d c Uh.

972
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 9: It's funny because I always used to complain about having

973
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 9: the you know, it was in college, like having the

974
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,920
Speaker 9: balance you know, uh, school work in football, and then

975
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 9: I'm in the league and I volunteer to.

976
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 6: Go you know what I'm saying.

977
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 9: But it's cool. I mean, you know, a lot of

978
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 9: it is just reading the numbers. I do that all

979
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 9: the time. You know, it's more of a structured version

980
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 9: of it. So that's kind how I look at it.

981
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 9: I feel like I'm I'm good with balancing my time

982
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 9: and and this is just like continue my learning.

983
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 6: That's all it is. I don't think it, you know,

984
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 6: I had.

985
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 9: The only thing I had to get used to is

986
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 9: like testing, you know what I mean, Like they just

987
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 9: try to trick you know, never straightforward, you know.

988
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 6: So outside of that has been Little.

989
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 2: Legion and Boom.

990
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 4: Obviously, you played on one of the greatest defenses with

991
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 4: some status, right, so we get a lot of more

992
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 4: and adding to defense that's getting better. Yeah, you know

993
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 4: that was a great defense that you played on. What

994
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 4: do you what are some of the similarities that you

995
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 4: see with this Washington team?

996
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:13,359
Speaker 2: How we get there?

997
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 4: How could we be like a dominant defense like Legion Boom,

998
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 4: Because remember, y'all all were young when y'all first started.

999
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 9: I think I think the thing that made us so

1000
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 9: special was that we were young, and so when we

1001
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 9: came into when we came into the league, like it

1002
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 9: was almost like college again.

1003
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

1004
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 9: It was when we got done playing, done practicing, we

1005
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 9: just stayed at the stay at the facility, or we

1006
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 9: was like, hey let's go get some food or let's

1007
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 9: play the game or something. We just spent so much

1008
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 9: time together that were just connected and that connection got

1009
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 9: brought on the field. So you know, yes, brother, you

1010
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 9: know what I mean. So it's like, you know, you

1011
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 9: in Cover three and maybe you should have this and

1012
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 9: certainly like, hey go take a chance on that. Like

1013
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 9: I got your back and you're like, all right, you

1014
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 9: do that enough time to where like you ain't gotta

1015
00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 9: say I just look at you. And so for me,

1016
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 9: I would say the comparison is that the connection. I

1017
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 9: think a lot of the guys here we're really connected

1018
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 9: like off the field, and I think that's what, you know,

1019
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 9: makes us believe that we can get there if we

1020
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 9: just keep going at it because we have the connection

1021
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 9: that you would need to be a good defense and

1022
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 9: so it's just really just growing on that.

1023
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: I had an opportunity in my career. I played with

1024
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: some excellent linebackers. My favorite teammate, best other linebacker I

1025
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: played with was to kill spikes. We're both from Buffalo together,

1026
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: and it would be times before the ball was snapped.

1027
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: Yeah we know, like this high is drawn up, but

1028
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: key do this. I got you, I got you back whatever.

1029
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 1: You and Frankie, y'all both came in here together this year.

1030
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: Y'all been out there ball and that job if you

1031
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 1: and have been able to have that build that type

1032
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,800
Speaker 1: of chemistry where y'all y'all playing off each other. And

1033
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: what is it like playing playing with a guy like frank.

1034
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 6: I mean, it's exactly like that.

1035
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 9: I think one we knew each other because he used

1036
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 9: to work out in Seattle at the same spot we

1037
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 9: worked out, so we knew of each other. But then

1038
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 9: he started playing on the East Coast, so I didn't

1039
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 9: we see him as much, but then when we came here,

1040
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 9: it was just like dang, like we've always wanted to

1041
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 9: do this, Now we get to do it. And it

1042
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 9: was just again just like the open communication off the field.

1043
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 9: We'd be out there and it's like, hey, what you think.

1044
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 9: I think we can make a play.

1045
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:16,919
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

1046
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 9: And it's the trust, Like you, we trust one another

1047
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 9: and we believe and we put in the work. You know,

1048
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,720
Speaker 9: we study the film. It's not like we're just guessing,

1049
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 9: like we know what's coming. And so it's been great

1050
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 9: playing with him.

1051
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 5: One of the you know, you know one of the

1052
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 5: things I saw, you know, saw from day one. I

1053
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 5: was just going through your little bio and I was like, man,

1054
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 5: you was on that twenty twelve team that played us

1055
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 5: in the playoffs that we lost RG three.

1056
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?

1057
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, bring up old Yeah he's still talking about.

1058
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 5: It, but I remember you was a vocal like you

1059
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 5: was a guy that we checked on, be mindful where

1060
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 5: he at, you know what I mean. So just to

1061
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 5: know that you were young and now this is what

1062
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 5: you're thirteen You say thirteen, you're thirteen I got to

1063
00:48:56,160 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 5: play fourteen thirteen thirteen, so just to see where we

1064
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 5: was at. And I remember how I felt, I'm watching you.

1065
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 5: You don't look no different from the guys saw twenty twelve.

1066
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:08,800
Speaker 3: What was that and what is that process like for you?

1067
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: Like?

1068
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 5: How are you able to maintain you know? I guess

1069
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 5: you know your do ability to be able to go

1070
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 5: out there and.

1071
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 3: Bang what you do?

1072
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 6: I think.

1073
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 9: I think as you get older, you just know that

1074
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 9: like when you were younger, you might could take some

1075
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 9: breaks and you be fine. You get older, like whenever

1076
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 9: the season ends, I don't stop, I go to something else,

1077
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 9: I start working out again. Because the moment the longer

1078
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 9: you stop working out, the harder it is to get

1079
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 9: back in shape. So I just figure it's a lifestyle.

1080
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 9: I'm not getting out of shape. And between like my eating,

1081
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 9: I do a lot of yoga. I just take the

1082
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 9: time to try to take care of my body. I

1083
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 9: think that's the biggest thing is is especially now as

1084
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 9: a season gets into the holidays where you got his

1085
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 9: givings and the families.

1086
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 6: And the Christmases.

1087
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 9: A lot of times guys be like, all right, well

1088
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 9: I'm gonna spend time with my family, and they stopped

1089
00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 9: doing and some of the things that they was doing.

1090
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 9: So I just be trying to be consistent, and I

1091
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 9: feel like that's that's what's helped me. I do the

1092
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:05,479
Speaker 9: same things, I eat the same things all.

1093
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,239
Speaker 4: The time, many playing at a very high level and

1094
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 4: nothing changed.

1095
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: Uh, it's gonna be it.

1096
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:13,399
