I'm a 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.320 truth deliverer, nor turn it. 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.000 Into a lot, but you always twist what I said. 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.920 Everybody in the world, everybody in the world last week, 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.000 went outside at night to see the blue moon. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.280 Logan told me it didn't exist. You found out it 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:09.880 did exist. 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.720 Okay, okay, that's what I said. What I did. So 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.119 what is your definition of blue mood? Please? 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.240 A blue moon is? 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.840 First of all, it only happens every blue moon. That's 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.360 where the sand comes from. That means it only happens 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.199 like every hundred or so years. Where is a blue moon? 0:01:26.440 --> 0:01:27.039 Yes, it is? 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:29.240 Guess what you had your last chance to see a 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:30.479 blue moon last week? 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.360 Like that was your last chance in your life? 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:33.600 Tied? 0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.199 Like we know that for a what's going on? Okay? 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:38.960 All right? 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.880 So I did a little research on this front. Okay, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:44.480 just a little bit. I just I just I went 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.400 to the NASA website and I said, what is a 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:50.000 blue mood on Google? So that's that's the extent of 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:50.320 my reason. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.360 Tell lies to Google. 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.920 NASA usually does not. There are science, there's science based, right, 0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:58.720 they do research. So that's saying once in a blue 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:03.680 moon actually first to three lunar cycles, so three every 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.080 third blue moon, every third moon full moon is a 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.440 blue moon? All right? Okay, there is a an annual 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.160 blue moon because of some type of weird lunor cycle. 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.560 It doesn't match up with today's. But your definition, what 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.440 did I say, Kylesy, I have you didn't even say 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:21.200 you just said it's blue. You said the moon is 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.120 gonna has nothing to do it has nothing to do 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:24.680 with color. 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:28.080 And now, thank you, thank you? What I said? What 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:30.560 did I say that, Colsy? He said, you said nothing, 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.280 thank you, thank you. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.720 I didn't say, I'm so confused that's going on. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.120 I just told Tanna that it was happening, and Tanna 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.600 went out there and saw them blue moo. 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.920 What tantna was it? It was a big moon, but 0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:41.760 was it a blue moon? 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.680 So personally, like with your own lands, like you couldn't 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.040 see the blue of the moon. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:48.560 Correct, correct, But. 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:54.480 When folks send pictures on Instagram. Because I was looking 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:55.080 at that and. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.760 I was like, I looked at me like that was 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:58.519 the bluest moon. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.680 This thing blue. I'm looking to see something blue. 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:03.880 It was baby blue. 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:04.920 I was looking for it. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.520 God for a tar hill move it was man, it 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:16.640 was not. It was so whoever, whoever that source is 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.760 that showed me that that was that I follow on Instagram. 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.560 I wonder used to filter? 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.640 They had to use some type of microscope or I 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.160 don't know what telescope I mean, they saw I damn 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.799 this saw men walking on Okay, okay, I'm like the 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.960 moon didn't look like to the fact that Logan's windows 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.080 are dirty, so the moon was probably blue. 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.040 And he got like a rich sitting right there the 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:44.760 damn window. So it's him. 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.560 First off, can you at least sicknowledge that your definition 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:49.400 of a blue monk? 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.160 I had no definition. I asked you, what was my definition? 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.240 You said you didn't have one. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.400 So how is it that you can't do both of them? 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.920 I said, once every hundred years, and we find out 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:02.040 that it's once every three months. Okay, all right, all right, and. 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.880 Blue a great move once every hundred all right. 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.520 So on this show, where now that we've established that 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.280 Fred is not tell the truth all the time, that 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.320 is a preacher. All right, let's preview the Cardinals. Okay, 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.640 they've got a lot of stuff going on with the Cardinals, 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:19.719 and their motivations seem all over the place. Let's start 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.200 with the simplest thing. They've got a new head coach. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.320 His name's Rich Gannett Jonathan Gannon excuse me, he's from 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:28.520 Philadelphia against Rich Yeah, that was the quarterback. Yeah, I'm 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:29.520 having a hard time with that. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.480 So what I mean. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.440 Obviously he's been on Instagram, people have been making fun 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.280 of him. But what what is the expectation for Jonathan 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.520 Gannon coming to this team. He's a defensive coordinator from 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.040 Philadelphia last year, so kind of like EB, he's been 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:42.599 to the show. He knows how it'll win a big game. 0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:47.480 What's the expectation for Similar to a ship captain. Okay, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.280 he's finna go down. You know, the ship captain got 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:55.160 to make sure the women and the key on the boat. Ye, 0:04:55.440 --> 0:05:02.360 the women, keys and logan, we're going down with your help. 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.640 Sometime to rise to heights, you need to burn the 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:06.159 ship down. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.560 And that's what they're doing right now. But they know 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.760 they got the brain trust they trusted, they got a 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:11.400 brain trust. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.719 But I think he wants his own If you want 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.400 him to cook the meal, I think he wants to 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.560 go get his own groceries. And I think that's what 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.040 simple The situation ain't in right now. They're in the 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:25.120 Kaylor Williams sweepstake. Most definitely, he looked good this weekend too, 0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:29.240 very Patrick mahomis why he was doing his work so yes, 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:31.719 I understand, Yeah, I understand what what situation. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.120 He is a football player, and as somebody that had coaches. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.000 I think he might be in that situation from an organization, 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.400 you know, their organization standpoint, But. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:41.920 Coaches want to win. 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.480 Man hundred going to come in this game and say, 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:45.680 we don't have nobody. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.279 It's fifty three minutes. 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:52.640 Mccut come on now, you know, and I love coach, 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.719 come on now, you know what I mean. So I 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.960 look at it like this defensive mind minded the coach 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.960 know us. Well, yeah, he does also twice last year. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.039 I'm not sure how many other times before that, but 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:08.080 he's going to have their defense ready because he gonna 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.279 feel like, hey, this is how we should play against them. 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.240 But we have a new oc yep. 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:17.320 So yeah, so we it's two teams coming into a 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.559 game not knowing what to expect. 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.160 Well, shoot, he played this game. He played this exact 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.039 game from a schematic standpoint. Yeah, I mean in the 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.039 Super Bowl, right, So did he be right? It's the 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.040 same defense. Yeah, it's a it's a similar offensive coordinator, right, 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.520 it's it's the system. Right. So they've played each other 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.279 very very recently in terms of defensive philosophy. 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:36.280 Yeah, absolutely right. 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.040 In terms of watching the preseason, I feel like they're 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:39.640 a little bit more aggressive. They're trying to be a 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.800 little bit more aggressive, maybe because they don't have the 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.520 Darius Slaves, they don't have that, you know, the Bradbury 0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.120 stuff in the back end. I think a little bit 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.080 more aggressive coverag structure. But again, it's it's not like 0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:52.480 our defense where we're getting all this man match. It's 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.599 it's like it's a softer zone with a match principles, 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.839 but really straightforward. But I do think they did. They're 0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.640 familiar with each other. Something else I wanted to bring 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.360 up is Drew Petsing is the offensive coordinator. Now that 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.440 name probably doesn't mean anything to you, but he was 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:09.200 the quarterback coach in Cleveland, right, and Cleveland's offense always 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.280 seems to give this defense a very hard. 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:12.200 Time because they run the ball. 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.800 They run in the ball. 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.040 Yeah, Dobs, I mean they know that, Hey, we can 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.960 put put him in his offense and he should be 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:19.360 able to run his offense well. 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.760 Run the offense. So that's a that's a great point. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:22.600 That's exactly right because one of the things, one of 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.360 the big features of that offense is that they have. 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.240 They run a lot of pinpoll, but you need to 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.160 run pin poll looks into the correct look. Right. They 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.720 can't run it into every front, you know what I'm saying. 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:34.840 Yeah, they can't running into a run front. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.440 Yea, if we run blitzing, well, if they want to 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.520 call it runson, but to run front, if we get 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.120 in the linebackers down heel, yeah, the. 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:43.240 Peanut pool ain't gonna work. 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:44.800 And so we're talking more about the spacing, like if 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:46.520 we got a three technique line up over the guard, 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:48.160 or line up over the center, or line up over 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.440 the tackle right, that's good spacing for a pinpole. But 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.200 let's say we got into an odd structure where you 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.400 got a four shade and a four right. That doesn't 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.880 work so well. So the quarterback Tanna, to your point, 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.120 is responsible for all these run can run to a 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.000 run saying oh we like, you know forty nine bounce 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.080 here where we're bouncing the ball outside. But we get 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.679 different front quarterback identifies that can can makes it really 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.880 really hard I think to kind of get the right 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:14.040 defensive look called. I don't know, maybe you feel differently 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:14.360 about that. 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.240 No, No, I feel like it is going to be 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.040 a chess match of the brain trust of the coaching staffs. 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.920 But I think talent. 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:26.120 Wise, it's a gap, right, It's a gap on purpose, 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:31.080 you know, the saying it's a gap that the front 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.080 office of the Cardinals are aware of. They've had a 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:37.360 wholesale of players that they're moving out because they understand 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.920 where they're at right now. And I think that puts 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.000 us in a different mind frame. I think we come 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.280 in here and say, let's get on them quick. Let's 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:46.080 not let them give them a chance to breathe, Let's 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:47.719 let them know that they're not in this game from 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:48.080 the door. 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:49.880 So this chess match is over with. 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:51.560 It favors us. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.480 But at the same time, being that we are a 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.320 young team, you know, unproven, you know, the winning stand 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.800 from the offensive standpoint quarterback and some of the skills skill, 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.920 we can't come in with that kind of mindset. Our 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.240 mindset could be like, yeah, let's jump on them, but 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.160 you have to give every team respect until you get 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.600 out there on the field and when you start letting 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.600 loose your package and see that oh we can do 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.280 you know at will, and now you say okay, Now 0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:17.839 I could come with that swagger and that confidence. 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:18.560 I can't do it. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.160 No, I'm just being real. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:21.840 I'm just saying we are going to go in with 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.120 the mindset to play to win the game. But I 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:25.920 can't go up there and look look at them and 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.080 say they hostal everybody so they know. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.560 Let me just say this show quick before you go, 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.400 because I know what you're gonna say to Tannis Point. 0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:34.720 They have Marquis Brown, former's first round pick. They have 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:39.000 Zach ertzt there right, good football player. Michael Wilson is 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.079 a third round pick. He's looked like a guy. You 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.960 know what I'm saying. They have a you know what 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.280 I said, rondl Mood, I say, already yep. So they 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:50.320 have talented and this offense is very similar to Kyle Shanahan's. 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.840 Like what do you watch Cleveland's offense. It's a run 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.000 first team, right that finds play action shots with fast 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.640 exposed to playman. Yes. So it's one of those teams 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:01.880 where it's like they have a very complicated run scheme 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.359 that's hard to fit and we we seed in the preseason, 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.760 Like just go back to when they played Cleveland run 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:10.280 and there's explosive runs, right, Rondel Moore or without his name, 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.280 what's the guy Elijah Morton? Right, big play in the 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.480 in the Cleveland game, right off of a pinpole run. 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.719 We're gonna see that run and then we're gonna see 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.640 play action shots off of it. Can we be disciplined 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:23.120 with our eyes? Can we be disciplined with our unfits? 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:26.040 Because I do think that this scheme, for whatever reason, 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:27.600 gives us problem, gives us problem. 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:31.880 A coach del Rio knows, but I'm sorry, fellers, I 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.440 refuse to let y'all do this. 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:38.560 One at the day. Joshua Dobbs been there two weeks, 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:40.800 but he knows the system. 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.439 Though he been there two weeks, he came, didn't He 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.200 played like Tennessee last year and almost won a playoff 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:47.880 game for him. 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.080 No, no, no, no, we're not doing it. 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:58.160 It's y'all know, we know it's players. How hard it 0:10:58.240 --> 0:10:59.199 is just to win one game? 0:10:59.679 --> 0:10:59.920 NFA. 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.360 Yeah, this with your front office is giving you all 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.040 the things you need. This front office said you can't 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:10.360 have this. This by the way, give me that cop cord. 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:16.240 You can't have nothing. But he won nothing. I'm think, yeah, 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:16.920 it's gonna be a game. 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.959 I say, you got a point, but I'm not finished. 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:27.600 Set myself up what you I know what you're saying. 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:31.960 But I'm just saying if it was me my defense. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:33.880 That when grand will you touch yourself up and there 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.680 and no, no, no, We're looking at this like, let's 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.840 go and get these dudes, let's get some stats because 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.320 they team, they own front office don't believe in them. 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:47.640 Yeah, but I agree. I'm just gonna go back schematically. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:50.120 This is a this is a game that you put 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.160 it in four wheel drive, the ball time and all 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:53.960 of a sudden. 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.720 By they say computers don't got personally. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:59.080 Think about Tennessee, think about human computers. Think about Tennessee, 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.280 think about Cleveland last you're thinking about Atlanta last year. 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:04.600 These teams that are running, they make it hard, they 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:05.200 make it hard. 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.000 But on the outside, is it a receiver out there 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.760 that says, you know what, we can't play these guys 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.520 man the man, they don't have their threat. 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.560 But then you also think about too that you know 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.880 Joshua Dobbs there too. For another reason, we saw how 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.560 our defense looked against Cleveland in the preseason game. The 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.480 same stuff that we was dealing with last year is 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.280 something that has kind of showed us in the preseason 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.320 that hey, we have a problem with running quarterbacks. So 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.440 when things break down, whether it's perfect or not over there, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.400 or whether he's been over there long enough to get there, 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:35.840 you know. 0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.920 To know what who the trust or not. He said, 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.760 I'm gone get out of them, I'm out of here. 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.280 So that's why I say, you can't set yourself up 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.240 for the banana tailpipe or the Hawaiian punch. Man say hey, 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:49.240 you want to Hey, you want some Hawaiian punch. You're 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:58.840 gonna say, sure, yeah, I ain't going for you. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.959 Set me up the damn But it's just like no, 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:08.199 It's just like no, no. Imagine this, we in. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.720 Week one and we're playing now, I'm just gonna throw 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.079 a team out that Cleveland. Cleveland then had these guys 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.199 all up. They got a Greedy Wings They say he 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:21.400 the best v they got. They cut Greedy two weeks 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.080 a week before the game, and they bring in less 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.360 than just off the street. 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.880 And you ain't got Santana one on one, Santanna go 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:32.040 over for two fifty. LISTA got no reason to be 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.240 out here with sant Tana. 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:38.080 Malls, Joshua Dops it's bigger than Lester eleven. 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.760 If if you got two guys, give him my office 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.360 alignment a problem. Lester might have a fit. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.360 He might be He might say, I ain't getting nothing 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:47.319 owre here because we can't know. 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.679 That's what I'm saying from a big stove baby. 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:54.680 But I agree with you. I agree with both of you. 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:56.079 He's on the point. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:56.800 I feel you. 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.319 I think we're both were both to be the picture. 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:00.960 But I'm saying it's it's one of those games. Offensively, 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.000 we got we're starting a second year quarterback, right, it's 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.679 the game because of the structure. I don't care if 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.000 it's a full fire show over there. Their offensive line 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:10.719 is not bad, right, they got DJ Hump Freezer is 0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:11.640 an okay player to. 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:14.160 You don't go to restaurant. 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.600 There's not a restaurants said okay, all that restaurant's okay. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.280 We can you know, you know, missed a couple of times. 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.720 Yeah you heard a good name, and then the restaurant 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.560 food up well. 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.720 You know, well kitchen is one of them. 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.880 Will Hernanda's former first round pick, right obviously playing better 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.280 in Carolina than he was in Chicago. And then Paris Johnson, 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:34.840 the rookie out of Ohio State. So they do have 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:38.680 some talented pieces on the offensive line again, schematically doesn't 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.680 elevate that. Yeah, but but for fans at home, all 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.600 we're saying is like, yes, national media fire sale, everything's terrible, 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.440 But this is an NFL roster with NFL football players 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.960 NFL coaches, and the coaches don't always get the memo. Man, 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:55.560 it's not always like, oh, yeah, we're taking for Caleb Williams. 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.320 Everything's cope aesetic right, No, they don't get that memo, 0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.280 like how many times, Like I remember twenty eleven, we 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.600 were a bad football team that the year everyone was hurt, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.200 and we go out and beat like two playoff teams 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.440 just because everyone was sleeping on us, and we won 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.880 those games. So we're saying here. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:15.320 They got a young quarterbacky. 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:17.480 First of all, get out them a watch with no 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.240 battery any right, two times a day? 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:21.920 But those two times are still right. 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:25.000 No them two times because I have to run over 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:26.640 bad stuff to get the graces. 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.960 Sometimes you gotta call a spade a space. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:37.040 All right, Listen, if we go out there defensively and 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.160 don't dominate this team, and I gonna be like, someth 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.240 ain't right, like this win, y'all gonna be like you 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:43.760 know what we were supposed because out of anybody on 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.160 our schedule this year, anybody we're gonna if I can 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:51.360 say you can only pick one domination for five thousand dollars, 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:52.600 what team would it be? 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:56.800 Cottoners? Cottoners. 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:01.360 Listen right there, that'll be the time that's you ain't lying, 0:16:02.160 --> 0:16:04.480 You ain't lying, all right, So let's we talked a 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.240 little bit about the offense. Let's talk about their defense, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.840 which I actually think is like a little bit worse. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.400 Yeah, listen what I'm saying. Who is the kid? 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:16.320 Listen to me? 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:17.720 It's down he. 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.560 Boden Baker tried to get training. He told him, if 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.760 y'all gonna do this, I want to be training. They 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:26.800 were like, nah, Bud, we don't keep you. 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:27.960 They don't even know who they. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.040 Have that, So let's talk about let's talk about the 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:32.400 back end. Buddha Baker obviously was port bow player. Last year, 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:35.600 they got Katrell Clark, who is a rookie but has 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.760 shown good things. And anytime you're starting to rookie quarterback, 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:41.080 it's always like right, especially when you got Terry McLaurin, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.680 de Han Dotson, Curtis Samuel Right and then Marco Wilson. 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:49.240 He's a good football player. Now, Marco Wilson, Marco, he's 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.960 a good music, good player. Let's I mean, obviously, two 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.240 guys in the back end does not a good secondary make, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.600 but there's that the front is a little hit or 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.240 miss in my opinion as well. They do. They did 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.160 move zaveon Call is their former first round off ball linebacker, 0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:05.080 two edge rusher, and he's flashed a little bit there. 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:06.679 He's got a little bit just like kind of I 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.800 don't say Michael Parsons because everyone's gonna go crazy with 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:09.680 that comparison, but. 0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:13.200 I see what you're saying. He's better rushing in space. 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:16.200 And then outside of that, just in terms of names. 0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:19.280 Yeah, well it's a used car lot and it's usually 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:20.959 two good guys and a used collode. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:23.280 And they got a Buddha Baker two thousand and three, 0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.480 and they got. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:35.560 They got they got a Xaving College Camino in this situation, man, guys, 0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:40.440 and we're go ever because y'all saying something earlier standard, Yeah, 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.000 we're gonna set the standard. 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:45.280 This is a game bit the standard gotta be set. 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:46.919 I agree. 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:49.040 And then you can't say the standard because of the 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:50.719 weak and say this is what we need to do. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:52.520 You need to set the standing up no matter who 0:17:52.520 --> 0:17:53.520 you who are you playing. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.720 But okay, I'll say this. I think I think offensively, 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.360 I think defensively, this should be a game we could win. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:03.400 A potential hurdle is the is the scheme right? Offensively? Though, 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.159 this is the first game against a real, live NFL defense, 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.080 Sam's gonna play. It's the first game that Ebe's gonna 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.120 call games. I think he's gonna be fine. But those 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.399 are big hurdles. And it's the first time that our 0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:18.240 offensive line is gonna be going against another team's starting 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:19.080 defensive line. 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:20.040 I think they'll be okay. 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:21.760 I think they'll be okay. But I'm just saying those 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.200 are some things that I kind of go like, let's 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.359 say Zavid Collins comes out and is Michael Parsons and 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:30.359 we can't pass protect and our offense struggles, and you 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.080 know what I'm saying, Like, there are things here that 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:34.520 could happen.

Right, So guys, make sure you check that out, 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.000 all right, But in honor of that show, the Game 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.320 plan show. Right, we are going to kind of do 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.000 our own game plan segment, and we're going to talk 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.879 about kind of like we do, we're gonna give people opportunities. 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.720 So let's start with our first one time to shine. 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.400 One player on the team. It's their time to shine. 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:05.280 My Test. 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:07.320 Right out the. 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:09.800 Contract. Love. 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:12.440 We said the same thing about Pain last year is 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:14.800 it's time to shine. My Test has been a guy 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:16.200 that he's been consistent. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:16.840 Every year. 0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.320 You watch this guy, he put up around the same 0:20:19.359 --> 0:20:21.399 amount of sacks. I think the one thing that that 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.119 that plays a little role in him having more is 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:25.800 missing a few games here and there. 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:26.880 He did that last year. 0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:28.600 I think he had had a way better seasons than 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.040 what he had and he still played phenomenal. Or last 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:32.800 year I saw him a lot getting close to the 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:35.480 quarterback and the ball was just getting out and you 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:37.120 know that hurt him a lot. But man, it's time 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.359 to shine. It's time to show everybody else that man. 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.520 You talk about Pain, you talk about Allen, you talk 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:44.480 about you know, you know, the chase, and he hasn't 0:20:44.480 --> 0:20:47.119 even been here that much. Come on, put put some 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:47.960 respect on my name. 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:48.920 Time to shine. 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.200 I totally I love that pick. He's going against Parashawanns 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.320 and the rookie Paras Shawns doesn't at least a college 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.960 didn't handle power rushers that well. Monteza is one of 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.840 the best. Also, you're going against the backup quarterback. Right 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.080 is gonna hold the ball for you a little bit, Josh, 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:03.880 I think I love that one. 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:04.400 What we got? 0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.600 You know what, cam driver follow that camp? You know 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.120 what that said? 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:10.480 Dogs? 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:15.720 He went sweat. I'm going to It's your time to shine. 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:18.560 It's your time to show them that everything I said 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:21.720 before we even drafted you was true. It's your time 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:24.040 to shine because everybody say you one hundred and three 0:21:24.080 --> 0:21:26.600 pounds it can't play in the NFL. It's your time 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:29.400 to prove them wrong. It's your time to show them 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:31.480 while you out in the n C double a all 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:36.040 time interception touchdown leader. It's your time to shine because 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:38.720 they say we overdrafted you. At the end of the day, 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:40.600 he got a chip on his shoulder the size of 0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:40.920 a boat. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.760 He should be working at Freedoli. 0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:47.560 Oh the chips. God, damn, I missed it. I missed it. 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:48.159 You always do. 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:49.720 I missed it right over my head. For a minute, 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:51.800 I was like boulders and chips. Yeah, there we go. 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:53.560 Thank go to UCLA. 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:55.760 So for me, I think I'm gonna go Brian Robinson 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:57.520 here and I And the reason I say that is 0:21:57.560 --> 0:21:59.040 because we talked about this a little bit earlier in 0:21:59.080 --> 0:22:02.119 the week. Like, I think he is poised toys for 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.720 something special. I think he's a good runner catching the 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:07.440 football as a past protector. And I think again, I 0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:08.800 just feel like people aren't talking about. 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:12.000 Him heys the like I think they don't think of 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.399 him like that because he hadn't shown the ability to 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:15.920 be a home run hitter. 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:16.680 In the run game. 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:19.720 Can he run away from people like we know he 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:21.080 can break people down. 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:22.760 In ten yards twelve yards of pop. 0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.440 Can he break the forty yard of the fifty yarder 0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:26.760 and not get ran down? 0:22:26.800 --> 0:22:29.320 It's a question. Yeah, that's a really good question. But 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:31.760 I just think he's the way he caught the football, 0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:35.080 his vision, his contact balance, Like, I think he could 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:36.040 be really special this year. 0:22:36.119 --> 0:22:37.280 It's off the home run ability. 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:38.760 I just feel like last year we didn't get a 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:40.400 chance to see it because of some of the things 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:43.520 he went went throw it. Ye, so you saw him 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.560 getting healthier, and as he got healthy, you saw him 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:48.280 breaking more runs. And right now, the way I saw 0:22:48.359 --> 0:22:51.239 him in preseason, he looks lean, leaner than he did 0:22:51.359 --> 0:22:54.760 last year, looks more explosive, and man, he's a man child. 0:22:54.800 --> 0:22:57.480 So I'm proud. I'm sure we're going to see a 0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:58.160 lot of that this year. 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:00.240 Yeah, I'm excited for it. Man, And especially if in 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:02.359 the Sam's first game, let's run the ball a little 0:23:02.359 --> 0:23:05.040 bit like you know, run the ball, check the ball 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:06.760 down to the back. He seems like he's gonna be 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:08.760 the beneficiary of a lot of that. All right, So 0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:10.040 now I need a doe. 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:11.640 I need I need a dow. 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.040 So who is that? I know he did dogs last 0:23:14.000 --> 0:23:19.159 segment with all the bulldogs. So when you need a 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.280 dog something that's just gritty tough, got to find a 0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:23.360 way to get it done. 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:24.480 Who is it? 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:25.240 Jonathanllen? 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:27.359 John Dog? 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:29.520 You are you? 0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:31.760 Beer? 0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:33.280 Am one of those guys. 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:33.440 Man. 0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:36.639 You walk by him and at times he might you know, 0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:38.800 you see him in the building and you know we're 0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:40.879 doing what we're doing, those guys getting ready for practice 0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.040 and getting ready for the games. And if he if 0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:44.760 you just take a glimpse at him and he don't 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:46.800 really recognize who is here looking at you like you're 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:47.320 looking through you. 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:50.200 Yeah, and then he realized that give you that like 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:51.959 he acknowledges that. 0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:54.960 But it's mine is always you can tell he's thinking 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:59.480 about something about military. So that's just how he man. Brother, 0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:02.240 he's on the field, playing on the sideline root. When 0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:03.880 you're on you just get it from him. You get 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:05.399 that effect from this guy. And he's been like that 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:07.879 from day one.

Guess what 0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.760 I breathed dogs dogs and Ridgeways dogs. 0:24:35.520 --> 0:24:36.040 Listen to me. 0:24:36.240 --> 0:24:37.879 If you were going into a wrestling match and they 0:24:37.880 --> 0:24:39.960 say draft one person off the team who you drafted, 0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:44.040 I'm taking Ridgeway with me. I'm taking listen for Darren 0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:45.879 mathis out. I want to talk about that it's just 0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:48.320 more plays for Ridgeway. He don't get the love, none 0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:50.320 of the love out of the Jackson Fire because he 0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.720 t THO. But at the end of the day, Ridgeway 0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:55.959 is that boy. Bridgeway is that dog when you need him, 0:24:55.960 --> 0:24:58.360 because you don't call him until you need him, until 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:00.240 you need to. Y'all just say it something. They going 0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:03.160 to run the ball will when they run the ball. 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:06.679 I got a Ridgeway, I like they said on Marvel, 0:25:07.400 --> 0:25:10.400 like we got Army, I got I got a Ridgeway. 0:25:10.520 --> 0:25:12.360 So at the end of the day, I'm going with Ridgeway. 0:25:12.480 --> 0:25:14.240 I love that. For me. It's I think it's gonna 0:25:14.240 --> 0:25:16.720 be Johanna. I think with Terry Questionable, Like we don't 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:18.640 know we're recording this podcast on Tuesday, so we don't 0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:20.800 know exactly what's going on. But I think Johan is 0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:23.080 going to be that guy in this offense the whole year. 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:25.680 Like just the way he's able to separate, get open, 0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:27.440 making tested catches. I think he's going to be a 0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:29.679 huge feature of this offense. And like he has just 0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.600 stepped up and been that guy, you know, And so 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:35.159 I think it's, uh, that's something that I'm I'm excited for. 0:25:35.240 --> 0:25:37.080 And then another one I got to give a shout 0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:38.760 out to is our guy Nick Gates. 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:40.920 Right, Oh, he's a listen, he's a dog. 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:44.080 I love any offense of linement that shows the nabel 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:49.240 shows their navel.

He out there to 0:25:51.760 --> 0:25:53.440 play football and look good. 0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:55.520 We should do it. We should do a study about 0:25:55.680 --> 0:25:58.600 naval showing and then how tough they are. I feel 0:25:58.640 --> 0:25:59.800 like it's a pretty good correlation. 0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:05.320 Restless, you got to be a real show everywhere your nigh. 0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:07.240 Then where you steve food at when you was in 0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:07.639 the bottom. 0:26:07.720 --> 0:26:11.400 I mean, Fred, you are giving great insight. Hand has 0:26:11.600 --> 0:26:15.640 quarterbacks buried quarterbacks navels for offensive. 0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:17.320 A small things. 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:21.399 When I'm doing my when I'm doing my I'm looking 0:26:21.440 --> 0:26:22.680 for these key points. 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:24.120 And when I seen Nick. 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:26.600 Gates with their throwing like hair hanging out his helmet 0:26:26.920 --> 0:26:32.639 and a belly button, Lord have mercy, that's intimidating you. 0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.359 All right, So all right, we got our dogs taking 0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:40.440 care of all right.

I'm 0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:46.560 gonna say, Johan Johan. 0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:48.960 You could fit any one of these cagories. 0:26:49.000 --> 0:26:51.840 I think right now, just coming off of where he 0:26:51.920 --> 0:26:55.040 left off last year, what we saw at the beginning 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:55.760 of last year. 0:26:56.400 --> 0:26:58.120 The only reason why he cool out because he went 0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.480 out there and then he picked back up, and then 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:01.040 he came into the. 0:27:01.040 --> 0:27:04.040 Preseason like, oh yeah, y'all, never forget about that, you know. 0:27:04.160 --> 0:27:06.720 And then so now going to this season, we don't 0:27:06.760 --> 0:27:09.520 know how things gonna, you know, transpire, but guess what 0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:12.840 he knows. The guy been open since we've been watching 0:27:12.840 --> 0:27:14.800 tape on him coming out of high school, going to 0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:16.920 Penn State and then at Penn State coming in here. 0:27:17.359 --> 0:27:21.200 The man been opening every film I watched. 0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:22.720 You feel me? 0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:24.120 So I just want to stay hot. 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:26.320 I think regardless of if we giving him the ball 0:27:26.440 --> 0:27:29.080 or not, if he's on the field, they're gonna have 0:27:29.080 --> 0:27:31.800 to check fum and that's gonna kill everybody else. The opportunity. 0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.040 The guy who we haven't been talking about, Samuews, He's 0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:37.240 gonna get the opportunity themmy, you know, Brown, gonna get opportunity. 0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:39.440 Who's ever out there on the field with him gonna 0:27:39.440 --> 0:27:41.640 get the luxury of getting the ball because they gonna 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:43.960 have to check this guy with multiple guys not gonna 0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:45.520 just be one. And if you want to check him 0:27:45.520 --> 0:27:48.800 in one, sorry for that, dude, Grandmama and granddaddy, because 0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:49.400 they're gonna be. 0:27:52.560 --> 0:27:53.200 Now stay hot. 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:55.119 When I think about state hot, I think about walking 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.920 into a seventy level. You know how the hot dolls 0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:00.800 are just constans that some time they stay on there 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:01.880 too long, they. 0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:03.040 Can dry out a little bit. 0:28:03.240 --> 0:28:06.720 But my guy, I thought, had a year where he said, 0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:09.320 got everybody on notice, I could play this game. The 0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:12.600 Pope Benjamin Saint Juice, Oh my Benjamin Saint Juwice. 0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:15.520 Now he's been good. He's been damn good. 0:28:15.640 --> 0:28:17.960 During training camp, I think did a man afford just 0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:20.600 from flashing so much that people weren't talking about what 0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.040 Saint Juice? And we know what it is when we 0:28:23.119 --> 0:28:25.120 got somebody new in our room and they taking all 0:28:25.160 --> 0:28:26.600 that shine, we want some. 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:27.560 Of that shine back. 0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:29.920 I think that's where the Pope at Saint Juice sitting 0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:31.840 in there like, okay, what did y'all get a load 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:32.040 of me? 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:33.840 Y'all forgot about what I did last year. 0:28:33.960 --> 0:28:35.679 So I think Saint Juice is that man that just 0:28:35.960 --> 0:28:38.280 prone to stay hot and stay on a level and 0:28:38.360 --> 0:28:39.600 his contract coming up too. 0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:41.760 Yeah. Absolutely, So for me, if I was gonna say 0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:43.200 someone that need to say out, I'm gonna say Cam 0:28:43.320 --> 0:28:47.080 craw because of how he practiced during training camp, got 0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:50.520 a couple of interceptions. That's something he hasn't been very prolific. 0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:53.800 I think if he could do that, yeah, that's gonna 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.920 be huge for this defense. And I think, you know, 0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.400 obviously Joshua Dobbs is going to be a guy who 0:28:58.600 --> 0:28:59.680 might throw them Joshua. 0:28:59.800 --> 0:29:03.200 I never thought was speak of Joshua Doves. 0:29:03.240 --> 0:29:06.760 Never never thought in my life we'll be talking about 0:29:06.840 --> 0:29:07.520 Joshua all. 0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:09.600 Right, And the last one for our thing here before 0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.920 we have to talk about Joshua Dobson. One is any 0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:16.400 given Sunday? Who is gonna fight scratching cloth for that inch? 0:29:16.920 --> 0:29:21.400 Every inch? What is that movie? Any given Sunday? 0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.800 Hey, I'm gonna go with up. 0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:26.000 Listen, that's a great speech. 0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:28.960 I used to listen to that speech before many a game. 0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:30.000 That's a great speech. 0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:32.280 It is Terry McCluin. Just feel like he's one of 0:29:32.320 --> 0:29:33.640 those guys man. I mean we saw it. 0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:34.400 You got the year. 0:29:34.560 --> 0:29:37.400 Different quarterbacks in the game throw it up, went in doubt, 0:29:37.800 --> 0:29:39.920 who's coming down with it. I mean it's easy to say, 0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:41.760 throw it up to this guy, he's gonna make a play. 0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:44.560 But when all the players have most of the players 0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.720 been fifty fifty balls and you don't fit the prototype 0:29:47.760 --> 0:29:50.200 of a guy that can, you know, out muscle a 0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:52.440 guy all the time, and you come down with it. 0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:55.000 I mean, hats off to this guy. He's doing something different. 0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:57.240 He knows something that we don't know. Now we know 0:29:57.320 --> 0:29:59.680 because we've been watching him play for the four five years. 0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:02.040 Uh so he just wont of those guys. 0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:07.360 Hey my guy, Sam, you will cost Yeah, listen to 0:30:07.480 --> 0:30:09.800 me any time. Alignment. 0:30:10.080 --> 0:30:12.800 Like, first of all, I watched it the Ravens practice 0:30:12.840 --> 0:30:13.560 for him some of it. 0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:15.600 Yeah, he came into. 0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:17.600 His own like you know when you see it the 0:30:17.680 --> 0:30:19.040 light switch with somebody. 0:30:19.200 --> 0:30:21.440 Oh, he came into his own. And then I really knew. 0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:23.600 I like, now we really got a something when I 0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:29.880 watched him do the gritty, when I watched him get one. 0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:36.080 Nothing you know alive is in his bag when he 0:30:36.880 --> 0:30:38.680 when he's dancing, dancing. 0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:42.840 Now he ain't thinking, no more reacting right now, Sam 0:30:42.920 --> 0:30:45.720 Cosm and I said this last year, move him to 0:30:45.800 --> 0:30:47.680 Gord and watch him go to the Pro Bowl. 0:30:47.760 --> 0:30:50.600 Yeah, it's true. I think that's a great one for me. 0:30:50.680 --> 0:30:52.640 Jeremy Reeves is my guy. He is the guy that 0:30:52.680 --> 0:30:54.320 when I watched on teams. When I watch him, he 0:30:54.320 --> 0:30:57.480 plays on defense. He's physical, he's tough, he's taking on blockers, 0:30:57.480 --> 0:31:00.000 he's competitive, he's playing with that his hair on fire. 0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:01.720 So for me, he's a guy that's gonna call on 0:31:01.800 --> 0:31:04.000 scratch for those quess and I love that. All right, 0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:06.239 So final predictions for the game. Just so you know, 0:31:06.960 --> 0:31:09.240 Washington right now is of Tuesday is plus seven of 0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:09.600 this game. 0:31:09.840 --> 0:31:11.120 That's a lot in the league. 0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:12.960 It is a lot in the league. It's a big spread. 0:31:13.000 --> 0:31:14.760 So Freddie want to go first because Tanda started all 0:31:14.760 --> 0:31:15.240 those off. 0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:18.440 All right, no problem. This is because of the Joshua 0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:19.280 Dobbs effect. 0:31:19.360 --> 0:31:20.480 Okay, I am. 0:31:20.440 --> 0:31:21.200 Gonna go. 0:31:23.160 --> 0:31:28.200 Thirty three to nine. One thirty three to nine. I 0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:32.120 think we smothered them with our defense. I think George 0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.600 sly kick him in the eye at least for nine points. 0:31:36.520 --> 0:31:39.760 I think Trustway gonna change the playing field. 0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:42.040 And I think Sam Howe is gonna be the shock 0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.560 of the NFL year, just like Colorado came out and 0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.480 shock the college world. Sam Howe because when they don't 0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:50.240 put expectations on you, when you do something, they blew 0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:52.080 it up. And I think that he gonna have a 0:31:52.160 --> 0:31:54.800 chance to come out here and start very fast and 0:31:54.840 --> 0:31:58.160 get the confidence he needs to carry him into the year. 0:31:58.320 --> 0:32:01.240 They don't know what we're gonna do because unpredictability. Yes, 0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:03.120 they did play against each other in the Super Bowl, 0:32:03.240 --> 0:32:04.880 but this this defense. 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:06.479 This office has a little different field. 0:32:06.800 --> 0:32:10.000 So all I'm saying is thirty three to nine, and 0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:12.400 I use units of three to get to that. 0:32:13.240 --> 0:32:16.640 All right, twenty eight six. 0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:18.680 You guys do only think they're gonna score any points. 0:32:18.960 --> 0:32:22.200 I feel like, you know, I feel like they're gonna sco. 0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:24.840 I just don't feel like I don't know how you 0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:26.520 know what I mean, it's gonna be a field goal 0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:28.840 game for them, or it's gonna be a touchdown and 0:32:28.840 --> 0:32:30.600 they miss the field goal. I'm a mister ex you 0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:33.120 point something to give them a little credit. I just 0:32:33.160 --> 0:32:36.880 feel like, offensively, we have a chance to do some 0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:40.239 things with the ball in the in the blackfield and 0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.400 through the air. And when you have a young team 0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:45.600 like that, especially what we're gonna be going through with 0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:48.720 the fans alone, that's gonna brain that's going to ignite 0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.880 that that that that energy in that stadium. We're gonna 0:32:51.920 --> 0:32:53.840 get into a point to where we can control the 0:32:53.880 --> 0:32:56.040 ball game and not have to worry about putting up 0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:59.480 too many points. And that's gonna you know, save save 0:32:59.520 --> 0:33:01.160 our defense have to worry about be on the field 0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:02.959 as much, you know what I mean. So I'm not 0:33:03.000 --> 0:33:04.640 saying that they got it. They're not gonna go out 0:33:04.680 --> 0:33:06.720 there and play on the offensive side. I just like, offensively, 0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:09.480 we're gonna control the clock a lot with what we 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:11.840 have going on, and it don't we don't need to 0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:12.320 shoot out. 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:13.320 Save a little bit of that. 0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:15.080 Beat them, beat them, beat them to it, you know, 0:33:15.720 --> 0:33:18.200 you know, twenty eight points, beat them by six seven, 0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:21.240 I mean, beat them by twenty six to seven. And 0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:23.800 the next week we can build on that and say, hey, 0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:25.320 we can show a little bit more of our offense. 0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:27.520 Right, I'm gonna say thirteen to twenty four some i'th 0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:30.520 gonna say. I think touchdown, maybe two field goals. It's 0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:32.560 the first time Sam's gonna be in the in the game. 0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:34.080 Is he gonna have a like kind of a rookie 0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:37.080 air quotes mistake there? You'd be gonna have some is 0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:38.720 he gonna have any issues called plays? You know what 0:33:38.720 --> 0:33:40.600 I'm saying? Like that, Again, as much as it is 0:33:40.680 --> 0:33:43.240 new for us, it's also new for Jack and what 0:33:43.240 --> 0:33:45.520 they're gonna be doing offensively. So that's what I think. 0:33:45.520 --> 0:33:47.200 I think again, I think it's a win. I think 0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:49.800 I feel pretty comfortable about that. So just not staleer. 0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:53.440 Yours kind of bored four to what thirteen thirteen? 0:33:54.320 --> 0:33:55.959 I mean yours was what thirty three to night. 0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.200 It's the national football it's our college football, bro, and. 0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:01.120 What we see, he's get blue out before in the 0:34:01.200 --> 0:34:02.840 nesson football league I've been a part of. 0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:04.959 One was the score.

That's gonna do 0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:14.319 it for today's show. Thanks guys, Always a pleasure. Thirty 0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:14.879 three to nine. 0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:16.480 Mister, So what do we call? 0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:20.160 It's called me mad? 0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:23.520 You know what I mean? 0:37:24.000 --> 0:37:25.359 So one of the things you talked about your press 0:37:25.360 --> 0:37:29.319 conferences winning. You're a guy that's one one champions as 0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:32.279 a player, one champions as an owner. What do you 0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:34.160 think is like the catalyst for that for you? 0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:34.399 Well? 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:36.319 I think you first of all, you know, starts with 0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:38.719 the players, right and the player you have to have 0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:44.560 great players, great with a willingness to to first play 0:37:44.600 --> 0:37:48.799 as a team, play their role sacrifice because you know 0:37:49.000 --> 0:37:52.040 you you have to also be pulling in the same direction. 0:37:52.920 --> 0:37:56.480 And then last but not least, you know, uh, you 0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:59.040 have to be competitive as hell. You know, you got 0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:03.400 to be able to compete. And we have to have 0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:06.799 great leaders. And when you have great leaders, they hold 0:38:06.840 --> 0:38:15.160 the team together. And so mindset addedude, preparation, discipline, and 0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:19.880 all that goes into that. So I think that my 0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:24.600 mindset has always been to get around guys who understand those. 0:38:24.400 --> 0:38:25.160 Type of things. 0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:30.600 And thank God, Man above have blessed me with the 0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:34.040 teams that I played on, but also with the players 0:38:34.080 --> 0:38:37.200 that I played with. And so that's what it takes, 0:38:37.239 --> 0:38:40.000 all of us saying, hey, we got one goal and 0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:42.640 that's to win, and we'll do whatever. 0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:46.400 It takes to win a championship. Introduce me to a 0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:47.160 young magic. 0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:53.160 The mind is out of magic, touch whatever it turns 0:38:53.200 --> 0:38:53.400 to go. 0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:56.320 Any other sports in high school? Did you try to 0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:58.600 play football? Did you try to play baseball? 0:38:58.760 --> 0:39:03.480 The Socking. 0:39:07.320 --> 0:39:10.239 I did play football up in the Pop Warner up 0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:14.480 until and then junior high. I played both ends, tight end, 0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:19.640 defe And so when we got to high school, I 0:39:19.680 --> 0:39:22.440 had made the team. I'm here, I am starting at 0:39:22.440 --> 0:39:25.480 both ends, and all of a sudden, I'm in the 0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:29.160 huddle and somebody is knocking on my helmet. So I'm 0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:32.360 thinking it's the coach, you know, and it's my father 0:39:32.560 --> 0:39:51.320 and the basketball coach because h football runs three weeks into. 0:39:51.120 --> 0:39:55.239 The basketball season, and they said, no way, you can 0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:56.240 miss three weeks. 0:39:56.360 --> 0:40:01.160 And so I cried man and turned in my equipment, 0:40:02.320 --> 0:40:06.440 but I still went to every game. And uh, my father, 0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:09.760 I told him. I turned around and said, during basketball season, 0:40:09.920 --> 0:40:10.360 you made the. 0:40:10.400 --> 0:40:16.759 Right right, that's right? So did you know, like you 0:40:16.800 --> 0:40:18.200 were a freshman, right, did you know I was going 0:40:18.280 --> 0:40:19.359 to be a great basketball player? 0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:20.440 Like? Was it? Like? 0:40:20.880 --> 0:40:22.719 How did that all play out? 0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:26.440 You know, you're good, but you still have to now 0:40:26.560 --> 0:40:28.680 prove it because now it is my first year in 0:40:28.719 --> 0:40:34.200 high school. So sure enough, you know, I led that 0:40:34.280 --> 0:40:37.640 school to a state championship and everything went great. 0:40:39.640 --> 0:40:39.880 You know. 0:40:39.960 --> 0:40:43.120 You again, it's all about not just me. It's the 0:40:43.120 --> 0:40:45.880 guys that you play with, and people forget that. You know, 0:40:46.440 --> 0:40:49.400 so you could be the greatest player you want to be, 0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:53.799 but if the guys are not believing that they can 0:40:53.840 --> 0:40:57.239 win or they they're reaching their potential as well, then 0:40:57.280 --> 0:40:59.520 you can't win. So every guy we came together and 0:40:59.840 --> 0:41:03.040 we turned that school around in the basketball program, and 0:41:03.120 --> 0:41:07.960 so I'm an ad a sports fan. Yeah, I love sports, boxing, tennis. 0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:10.480 I watched you know, the US Open, on and on 0:41:10.520 --> 0:41:13.240 and on. I just love sports man and and then 0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:17.719 my love is really football. Every Sunday and Saturday I 0:41:17.760 --> 0:41:20.000 watch I used to watch the game. I'm still watching 0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:23.239 the games now. But now to own the Commanders, be 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:26.360 one of the owners, you know. Uh, it's amazing speaking 0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:26.640 of that. 0:41:27.640 --> 0:41:29.840 This was a question that was just something that I 0:41:30.040 --> 0:41:33.719 wanted to ask you a long time ago, being a ballplayer, 0:41:34.200 --> 0:41:36.320 and now you in a different world, right, in the 0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:39.080 business world. What are some of the things that you 0:41:39.200 --> 0:41:42.520 learned as a ballplayer, whether it was early or later, 0:41:42.760 --> 0:41:45.040 that you carried over into the world that you're in now. 0:41:46.080 --> 0:41:53.040 That's a great question because the same discipline I had 0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:55.840 as a athlete and as a basketball player, it's the 0:41:55.880 --> 0:41:59.480 same discipline I must have as a businessman. And then 0:41:59.600 --> 0:42:03.320 I'm all always prepared, you know, And I tell people 0:42:03.360 --> 0:42:08.600 all the time, preparation is everything, everything, And so no. 0:42:08.520 --> 0:42:12.279 Matter what meeting, I'm going into over prepared like I 0:42:12.440 --> 0:42:13.520 was as a player, right. 0:42:13.880 --> 0:42:17.600 And then I think the dedication, you know, the hard work. 0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:21.920 My work ethic has always been amazing. So that same 0:42:22.040 --> 0:42:25.440 work ethic I take as a businessman as well. And 0:42:25.480 --> 0:42:29.040 then last but not least, it's the same winning attitude. 0:42:29.080 --> 0:42:33.840 Man, I hate to lose, to lose. That's what has changed. 0:42:34.800 --> 0:42:37.279 But tell me this also too, because I remember, you know, 0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:40.080 being kind of like out the league my first year, 0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:42.600 and the first thing I kind of dove into, I 0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:44.240 was like, well, I got to get back on my routine. 0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:45.560 I don't have no routine. 0:42:45.680 --> 0:42:47.440 I got started, but I knew what. 0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:50.000 I did for fourteen years of being a professional athlete, 0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:52.680 so I need to get back into doing something. You know, 0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:55.600 what what was that like for you when you said, Okay, 0:42:55.600 --> 0:42:56.600 now I'm in a new world. 0:42:56.800 --> 0:42:58.160 Did you have the same routine? 0:42:58.200 --> 0:42:59.120 Did you get up in the morning? 0:42:59.120 --> 0:43:01.200 I say, okay, I to go to this meeting, that meeting, 0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:03.160 this meeting, but I need to do this first to 0:43:03.200 --> 0:43:03.920 get me started. 0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:07.040 Well, we've been coached our whole life, and we've had. 0:43:06.880 --> 0:43:10.680 A schedule our whole life. So what I did was 0:43:10.960 --> 0:43:13.120 I turned to working out first. 0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:17.520 So so so yeah, yeah, yeah, so you So I 0:43:17.560 --> 0:43:19.800 get up, I get up early, So I'm at four o'clock. 0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:21.520 I will I wake up? 0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:23.920 Oh yeah, I wake up at four o'clock. 0:43:24.000 --> 0:43:26.640 I go to be at thirty every morning, I mean 0:43:26.719 --> 0:43:29.040 every night, wake up at four, four thirty. I'm in 0:43:29.080 --> 0:43:31.600 the gym for two hours, and then I go. 0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:33.440 To my office all day. 0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:38.160 So what happens a lot of times with athletes we 0:43:38.280 --> 0:43:42.800 lose our discipline. Yeah, so if you keep your discipline, 0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:47.560 then you can apply that to whatever field, right, But 0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:51.160 once you lose that, then it's hard. 0:43:51.560 --> 0:43:54.560 That's right. That's right. So I kept that discipline. 0:43:55.320 --> 0:43:57.759 Then I looked up and said, you know, this is 0:43:57.840 --> 0:44:01.400 what I want to do after I'm done. So I 0:44:01.440 --> 0:44:05.440 got into first little you know, first little business, and 0:44:05.480 --> 0:44:07.759 then the little one turned into the second one. 0:44:07.840 --> 0:44:11.560 And then you start growing. You can't be impatient. You 0:44:11.600 --> 0:44:15.800 just gotta grow. And and then I'm a perfectionist, so 0:44:15.840 --> 0:44:18.000 I like to do everything the right way. You know. 0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:21.600 That came from being an athlete, you know, And so 0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:22.760 nothing has changed. 0:44:22.760 --> 0:44:28.520 I'm still driven, man, I still love to uh. 0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:33.000 Win, but now I'm winning in a different arena. And 0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:36.600 then I started in urban America in the black and 0:44:36.640 --> 0:44:39.880 brown community because I knew that community. So I built 0:44:39.880 --> 0:44:43.840 my business there first because I knew what the community wanted. 0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:46.359 So I brought the movie theaters and Starbucks and those 0:44:46.400 --> 0:44:49.520 things to the community, and it created jobs. 0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:50.640 Too at the same time. 0:44:51.280 --> 0:44:54.200 Being a forced multiplier is a point guard being a 0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:56.520 point guard you was, You played point guard different anybody. 0:44:56.840 --> 0:44:58.720 You made everybody else around you better. 0:44:58.800 --> 0:44:59.360 I appreciate. 0:45:00.239 --> 0:45:01.400 Is this something you can teach? 0:45:01.440 --> 0:45:04.360 You're just born with that because we all athletes, but 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:07.320 we all different athletes and we made it to different stages. 0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:10.360 You think you being a force multiplier have help you 0:45:10.440 --> 0:45:12.839 truly and embrace all the business you've taken. 0:45:12.920 --> 0:45:14.239 Oh, no question about it. 0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:16.920 I mean you know I'm still doing that today. I 0:45:16.960 --> 0:45:19.560 mean I'm still the point guard. 0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:26.640 Yeah, I'm doing it. 0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:28.680 You know, it's just in a different arena. 0:45:28.800 --> 0:45:31.840 And so I believe you can do well and do 0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:35.320 good at the same time. Right, So I'm still trying 0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:39.680 to bless others, whether that's athletes who want to become 0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.640 businessmen or whether that's non athletes who want to be 0:45:42.680 --> 0:45:48.239 businessmen businesswomen. Try to give them the information and then 0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:51.719 I love giving back. So I'm still touching the community 0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:54.640 in that way. So God has put me on this 0:45:54.800 --> 0:45:58.479 earth to really just be that point guard on the court, 0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:01.480 but also in life too, and so it hasn't stopped. 0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:05.759 And I think that's my purpose, right, and we all 0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:08.480 must know our purpose. Like you was talking about, we 0:46:08.560 --> 0:46:12.040 knew what we were as athletes. We knew that and 0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:15.640 all of all four of us exceled. So now is 0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:18.480 how do we excel now? But in a different arena, 0:46:18.560 --> 0:46:18.960 that's all. 0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:20.319 And you know you. 0:46:20.320 --> 0:46:21.960 Can't talk about you being the port guard. But for 0:46:22.000 --> 0:46:23.480 this this deal here with the team, it seemed like 0:46:23.560 --> 0:46:26.000 Josh Harris was a poor card. How was that new 0:46:26.080 --> 0:46:27.640 role for you? And kind of fit a new spot 0:46:27.680 --> 0:46:29.279 and then join the kind of elite club of one 0:46:29.280 --> 0:46:32.359 of three or three? Like, how's that better? 0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:32.960 Oh? 0:46:32.960 --> 0:46:33.200 Man? 0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:37.040 Well, I think first joining the club and being African 0:46:37.120 --> 0:46:40.239 American to represent. 0:46:41.280 --> 0:46:42.920 The black community has been awesome. 0:46:43.400 --> 0:46:47.719 And you know we lost to Denver bid Josh and 0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:50.319 I yeah, And. 0:46:50.640 --> 0:46:53.759 I was about to say that actually it worked out better. 0:46:54.560 --> 0:46:59.880 And so his story about growing up here waiting twenty 0:46:59.880 --> 0:47:03.600 five years for season tickets to the whole thing, and 0:47:04.000 --> 0:47:07.920 myself already I've done business here, I mean a lot 0:47:07.960 --> 0:47:10.799 of business here, and so I think that this was 0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:14.759 the great opportunity for Josh and I and the whole 0:47:14.800 --> 0:47:21.000 group to have a story franchise like before the Redskins. 0:47:21.040 --> 0:47:25.360 Of course, now the commanders, and so I carry the 0:47:25.440 --> 0:47:30.520 banner for all athletes but also all African Americans and 0:47:30.640 --> 0:47:33.160 so that we can do this and we can be 0:47:34.160 --> 0:47:36.160 great on the field or on the court, but also 0:47:36.239 --> 0:47:39.920 we can translate that and also be great as business owners. 0:47:40.280 --> 0:47:41.400 And so I'm excited. 0:47:41.719 --> 0:47:44.040 Whatever Josh needs me to do, wants me to do, 0:47:45.080 --> 0:47:46.920 needs me to do, I'm gonna do it, you know. 0:47:47.040 --> 0:47:49.759 And so but again, you're gonna see me in the 0:47:49.760 --> 0:47:51.960 community and giving back. 0:47:52.080 --> 0:47:53.000 I love love. 0:47:53.280 --> 0:47:55.680 I'm gonna go to a boys and girls club soon here, 0:47:55.719 --> 0:47:58.200 I'm I'm gonna be all over the place going. 0:47:57.960 --> 0:48:03.320 To school speaking because I love See.
