So stick with me. Here we 11 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: go on Off the Edge with me, your host, Cam Jordan. 12 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: Let's start this off. I mean I wake up this 13 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: morning and I sort of scroll through the Twitter feed, 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: you know, so just picking up news. I'm not sure why, 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: Like I guess, you know, my dad's age, they had newspapers. 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: I'm going through the Twitter feed, like, all right, what's 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: pertinent from meet you know, the Saints. That was going 18 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: on with AK, that's going on with DC Derek Carr, 19 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: or what's going on you know with DA Dennis Allen, 20 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: whatever whatever that is, you know, just quickly scrolling, and 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: I see that. We ended up letting go Pete Carmichael, 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: who's been a part of the Saints for the last 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: eighteen seasons, you know, fifteen as a OC for the 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. It's tough to see somebody go. I 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: know there was a lot of shade thrown Pete's way 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: over the last year or two about being more aggressive 27 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: with the play calls. But he was a mad scientist, 28 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, when his plays worked. There was a reason 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: why him and Sean Payton made a lot of special 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: moments happen over the years. There was times where it 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: just seemed like everything was clicking. In the last couple 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: of years, things haven't been clicking. Three years with no playoffs. 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: I guess it's time to change, and so let go 34 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: Pete Carmichael. Let go assistant offensive senior offensive offensive assistant 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: Bob Bicknill. And then one that I didn't see for 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: real coming was a wide receiver coach Cody Burns. I 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: was like, man like, I was like, I thought Cody 38 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: he was been here for the last two years, you know, 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: so you say, Chris o'lave two years, thousand yards of piece. 40 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: I thought he was doing something got a Mashishi heat. 41 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: I didn't see that one coming, you know. And then 42 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: in the same situation there was you know, lateral movement. 43 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: You had a running back coach that's been here forever, 44 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: Joel Thomas go over to the New York Giants who 45 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: probably won't have se Kwan Barkley next year, where we'll 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: still have the most one of the most talented running 47 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: backs in the game. Ak. Yeah, So the things happen 48 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: this morning, and I'm still perplexed about two of those moves. 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: You know, I was like Joe, all right, good for 50 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: him that he's going, but you know you're fired. You 51 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: just went lateral, okay. And then of course, you know Cody, 52 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: I was like young receiver coach with young receivers with 53 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: a lot of potential. And you know, Rashishi he was 54 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: a pro bowler. I'll be it on special team side. 55 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: He was still you know, the need for speed, you know, 56 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: for she she So it just is what it is. 57 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: In this business. It's a game of winning, and you 58 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: know when you don't win, things have to shake, all right. 59 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: So you know, we're taking this on a Tuesday night, 60 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: and as of now, reports are that the Eagle center. 61 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey told his teammates after the loss that he 62 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: plans to retire. We'll see if he changes his mind. 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure you know a Star Wars center like Jason Kelcey. 64 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean that that's somebody you probably can't let go. 65 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: If you see that super Bowl window, super Bowl window 66 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: so alive last year's Super Bowl. They lose this year, 67 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: you know, first round exit, but that's just it. That's 68 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: still the playoffs. There's still chances. As long as you're 69 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: in the dance, you have a chance. Think about Jason 70 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: Kelcey probably a future Hall of Famer, and that's just 71 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: not because he's a you know, twenty eleven draft pick, 72 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: coming from the sixth round, the depths of the of 73 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: the rounds. But he's a seven time Pro Bowler, six 74 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: time first team All Pro, a Super Bowl champ. You know, 75 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: he had the gester, he had the fire speech. Philly 76 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: still talks about that fiery speech. You know, if the 77 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: Kelsey brothers are no for anything, it's that after they 78 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl, they talk about that good stuff 79 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: while they got the mic in their hand. I mean, 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: if Jason Kelsey calls it a career, what a career? 81 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: Thirteen years in the sixth round. Nobody really sees you 82 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: going that far. And there he is, you know, super 83 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: Bowl champion. There he is at thirteen years. There he 84 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: is a seven time pro bowler in the NFC when 85 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: there was some great centers for a long time, and 86 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: he's clearly one of the best ones. I mean, center 87 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: does a lot with the communication with quarterbacks. And he 88 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: had a couple at Helm. You know, Nick Foles as 89 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, he had Carson Wentz, talk about Jalen Hurts, 90 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: he might even Yeah, he definitely had Mike Vick over there. 91 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: Man's that's legendary to begin with, Ansime, you mentioned Mike Vick. 92 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: I just assume it's legendary. You know, he's been he 93 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: was undersized. Anytime we'd have the scouts come in and 94 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: give us those dots, those hey man, this guy's this 95 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: guy's a smart guy. This guy's you know, intelligent. They'd 96 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: hit him with all that, but they didn't say, Hey, 97 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 1: he's crafty with his work. He switches up his sets, 98 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 1: he put he's a guy who can id the defense, 99 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: you know. So he's everything that you would in the center, 100 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: and it showed out. So if it's his last playing day. 101 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: Salute man the game be sad to see you go, 102 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: but maybe he as an opposing defensive lineman. I'm just 103 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,279 Speaker 1: gonna say salute and let you ride off to the sunset. 104 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: This section, we're gonna talk about one big takeaway from 105 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: each playoff game. You know, let's just get into it 106 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: and talk about this first game, the Packers beating the 107 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys forty eight to thirty two. On the fake Love 108 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: zips it in there, it's caught for the touchdown. Romeo 109 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: tops and the route is on and tell us, wow, 110 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: M I mean, this is a game that I stopped 111 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: watching right before halftime. I didn't know the Packers want 112 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: to convincingly beat the Cowboys like that. I just felt like, 113 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: like Dak is clear cut better quarterback, been playing his 114 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: butt off the whole year. Jordan Love was abysmal at 115 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: the beginning of the year when we played them. They 116 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: ended up beating US seventeen to eighteen, and I was, 117 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm styling, still sort of sick about it. I'm not 118 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 1: going to drop the embarrassed word, but like I was, like, 119 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: this kid has a lot to figure out, and he 120 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: figured it out by the end of the year. He 121 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: was playing really really well, you know. Uh, and clearly 122 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: now he's in playoff and he's in playoff form for 123 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: them to go forty eight thirty two, it really was 124 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: like forty eight sixteen somewhere in that fourth quarter. It 125 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: was a convincing win. Yeah, Jordan, if he's playing the 126 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: way he did this past weekend, you can see him 127 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: going deep into the playoffs. Now how deep, but for 128 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: his first year at Helm, that's what you'd like to 129 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: see as a as a as a franchise. Our second game, 130 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the Lions beating the Rams twenty 131 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: four to twenty three five Still timeout Rams one fifty 132 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: two game is not over yet, so it's very very close. 133 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: Almon Ross, Saint Brown brother Equadnamious. That being said, we're 134 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: gonna talk about First of all, he came in with 135 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: blue hair. He went super saying god for you know, 136 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: he was going crazy Detroit blue. Whatever you want to 137 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: call what he did to his hair. But I mean, 138 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: let's just take away. Chauncey Gardner Johnson aka Doosey Safety 139 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: comes in you had you know, been hurt, comes in 140 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: active in the playoff game, shows up big with the 141 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: with the game sealing interception. Come on, that's my dog. 142 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: Chauncey Defense came to play. Offense, came to play Jared Goff, 143 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: Go Bears beats mass evert it was the quarterback swap. 144 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: It was a lot of hype around this game and 145 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: it was probably the only Wild Card game that didn't disappoint. 146 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Like this was electric the whole way through. You had 147 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: to watch this game. Well, you know, we could we 148 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: could talk about how the next game where the Eagles, 149 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, the night before watched the Packers beat the Cowboys. 150 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: They go into the Bucks and I'm like, all right, 151 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: that's a clear cut advantage the Eagles. We're ten and one, 152 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: begin with finish you know, one and five, and it 153 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: sort of bit them in the butt. You know you 154 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: figure Bucks finished strong the last you know, their last 155 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: game against Carolina. I guess gave him some confidence and 156 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: peaked at the right time heading into the playoffs. He 157 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: just convincingly beat the Eagles. Toush push did not work, 158 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: but I did not see coming. You know, shout out 159 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: to my guy Darius Slay, big play sleigh. Hope he 160 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: you know, hope he's okay. Anytime there's an injury, you 161 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: hate you hate to see it, which leads us to 162 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: our fourth game, the Texans beating the Browns. Play action 163 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: for Stroud, good protection, loads. 164 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 2: It up, fires down the field, excellent touch. 165 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: Perfectly delivered, touchdown the tun Shutz. 166 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: Stroud strikes again for thirty seven. 167 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: Yards with the mobile quarterback. 168 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: Like c J. 169 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: Stroud you saw, you know, when we played the same 170 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: I saw how they've tried to work off their runs, 171 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: their play actions, and it seemingly was working versus the 172 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: Browns and Joe Flack of the way he fit came 173 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: to the Browns and finish. I thought there was gonna 174 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: be short up of a battle there. It was not. 175 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: Forty five to fourteen tells me everything I need to know. 176 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: Texas Texans a real deal. Will Anderson, you know, Sheldon Rankins, 177 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: You've got a whole gambit of players out there. C J. 178 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: Stroud on the office side, man Demiica Ryans is leading 179 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: the team, and I think that's gonna be one of 180 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: them to beat. We'll see what happens, which leads us 181 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: to our fifth game, you know, our fifth game being 182 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs beating the Dolphins across nice springs it in 183 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: touchdown Kansas City what can you say about this? This 184 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,040 Speaker 1: game was a super cold game. I didn't like it 185 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: For the Miami Dolphins. I was like, yo, this is 186 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: a hot weather team. Shared they played the Jets, Share 187 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: they played the Bills, but like they've also put together 188 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: a great season to play the Chiefs and have to 189 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: play them there. It was like negative what twenty five? 190 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: Negative thirty? It was disgusting. It was so cold. I like, 191 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: it's not a game that you get excited for when 192 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: it's that cold. You know it's gonna be a run game, 193 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: or it's gonna be a ground and pound type game, 194 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: when of those dirty in between the lineman type games, 195 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be better running. And I was like, 196 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: all right, maybe that even is a playing field for 197 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And then Mahomes came out there tossing that 198 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: tater you know, through through the ball forty forty one times. 199 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: I was like, well, there goes that ground pound. I 200 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: was thinking, Nah, that's out of there. Well he's playoff 201 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: p What do you do against Patrick Mahomes? You know, 202 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: I think Tua had a great season. Well, you're going 203 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: against a guy who's been the Super Bowl multiple times, 204 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: who's won won the Super Bowl multiple times and it's 205 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: only like six or seven years in the league. You 206 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: gotta bring a you gotta bring you a one. Miami 207 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: was a little cold, the mandstreets couldn't stretch out like 208 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: they wanted to. The Chiefs took advantage the Dolphins twenty 209 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: sixty seven. That was that which leads us too. Somewhere 210 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: in that game, Pat Mahomes helmet cracked. 211 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: It was so cold. 212 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was an electric kit. You're like, ooh, dang, 213 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: that's a crazy hit. That was a great form, great hit, 214 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: But the helmet cracks ain't my mind. Nobody should play 215 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: a game if it's negative anything. When it gets to 216 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: the twenties and thirties, teams should like be like, we 217 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: should be demanding as players as much as you know, 218 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: as players unify against turf. It should be those negative 219 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: thirty degree games or those games where it's twenty degrees 220 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: raining and windshield like these these games that are affecting 221 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: what people came to see. My Best eleven version of 222 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: your Best eleven. I just feel like it affects the game, 223 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: you know, it switches things up. Pat's helmet cracked, Peace 224 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: flew off chip, what are we doing out there? No, no, 225 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: don't don't don't say it was a helmet that's cold 226 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: negative something helmet froze. We had a freeze over last 227 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: night in New Orleans and I saw ice on the 228 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: on the windshield. I don't even know how to get 229 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: that off. I'm a warm wether person. I was like, 230 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: what do you pour water on? Know? That's dumb, you know, 231 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: like you probably freeze over. I didn't even know what 232 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: to do. I had to go get a book to 233 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 1: scrape it off because I don't have one of those 234 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: scraper things that I've seen in videos. I had to 235 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: figure that out of mom negative negative whatever it was 236 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: at Kent City clearly helped him out versus Dolphins, and 237 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 1: you know Pat Mahomes playoff pete which leads us to 238 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: our final game the Bills versus Steelers, second and nine 239 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: rust the middle, surefield was not that I was Shakir, 240 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: not down inside the town. Oh what it effort, but 241 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: playing the night Khalil Sakir broke. 242 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 2: Away from the all people. 243 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,440 Speaker 1: Mika Fetchpatrick, Honestly, for the games, I did tune in. 244 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: I didn't really tune in on this one because I 245 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: just figured you know the Bills used to the cold 246 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: playing the Steelers, who their quarterback highlight would be Miles 247 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: Garrett chasing after him. Anyways, and I think I think 248 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: the Steelers have a great defense, but Bills were an 249 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: all fours, but a better team offense, defense, special teams. 250 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: And it showed they came to play. They brought their 251 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 1: a one game. Man, there's a reason why they're on 252 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: to the next stage. At that note, I'm sort of 253 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: looking forward to the next you know, to the next round. 254 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: You say, everybody's been talking about Josh Allen, Pat Mahomes, 255 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, them facing off Josh Allen a regular season 256 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: three three to one versus the Kansas City Chiefs and 257 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. And then you'd also say, in the playoffs, 258 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: no success versus Pat Mahomes, Pat Mahome, boy, Josh Allen 259 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: going at it. It might be time for switch switch up. 260 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: You know, maybe he's three on one Pat Mahomes versus 261 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: Josh Allen by this time next week. So one in 262 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: three sounds pretty good. If it's the current one, I 263 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: don't know. I'm looking for. If the world's gonna say 264 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: Kansas City, I'm looking for upset alert. If the world gone, 265 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: Bills probably gonna rock with the world. Von Miller coming 266 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: off the edge and he's you know healthy, get you know, 267 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: back to being himself at the right time when the 268 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: team needs them. Aj Epanessa, you got you know, big 269 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: Ed Oliver down low, Greg Russeau on defense. I might 270 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: have to tilt to the Bill's defensive side for the win. 271 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: All right, So up next, I'm gonna bring in my 272 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: guy Tomorrow Davis.

Man, it's gonna look 327 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 2: different on the roster. From the players side, it's gonna 328 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 2: look different from the coaching side. And it's just a 329 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: reminder that we dropped the ball as a whole. I mean, 330 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 2: at any point when you don't get it done, somebody's 331 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 2: gonna be the one that has to fall on the 332 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 2: sword or be the scapegoat. And and and we're seeing 333 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: that it's happening. I think this is the beginning of 334 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 2: that attempt to make a change or that attempt to 335 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: something has to be done. And it's unfortunate, you know, 336 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 2: like uh, you know, Pete, Bob Cody, my. 337 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: Guy Joel Thomas went to the Giants, Joe I fired, 338 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: but just like just like ladder movement, and I'm not 339 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: even thinking lad it was like going to like let's 340 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: let's keep that a b you know, like when when 341 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: officer guys go, I mean I had, I was like, 342 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: what I said, what did Bob do? What Pete? 343 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 2: It's like, I guess they felt like he was gonna 344 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: be a mold or something. 345 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: Man if I got rid of gotta gotta get rid 346 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: of his man's Okay, Okay, that makes sense, all right, man, 347 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I had like that was just off my mind. 348 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: First question I asked, but this week off? How you living? Man? Like? 349 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: What what's your first week of off season? Off? Is 350 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: it off season? 351 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 2: Like? 352 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 1: Is it the same every year? How do you process 353 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: the end of a season into off season? Because that 354 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: dynamic changes for you tremendously. For me, I just go 355 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: back to the you're back in Nashville. 356 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the career for me now. I think every 357 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 2: year is different. I traditionally keep the same framework, but 358 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: it's a season by season thing just because of the 359 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 2: emotional part. So as for me, like I'll keep training. 360 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 2: I'll stay doing my recovery regimen all the way through 361 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, like I trained specifically so my body 362 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 2: is ready for this time of year. And so it's 363 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 2: like I'm like a I'm like a Ferrari just sitting 364 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 2: in the garage right now, Like I'm meant to be 365 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: on the road going fast right now, Like That's what 366 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 2: I'm trained for. And so it's disappointing when we're not 367 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 2: doing it because my body feels fresh, it feels like 368 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 2: like I can go and I'm throwing my kids up. 369 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: It ain't like I'm in shutdown mode or tired mode, 370 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 2: like I'm out playing in the snow with my kids 371 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 2: earlier to day, like running around, my legs feel fresh, 372 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 2: and I'm like, outside, yeah, it's it got like seven 373 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: eight inches. I heard that's why my. 374 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: Hot hot seven eight. Bro, that's disgusting. I do not 375 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: just like that. I don't know. 376 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: And the horrible part is is the dry snow so 377 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: like you can't even make a snowball or a snowman, 378 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 2: like you just pick it up and it just crumbles 379 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: in your hands. So I keep training all the way through, 380 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 2: but I processed different. So it just depends on like 381 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: where I'm emotion and I think, you know, at this 382 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 2: just finished my twelfth season, thirty, just turned thirty five 383 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 2: years old, have a comp a lot in the game, 384 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 2: and now it's where where do I want to go? 385 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 2: And so's now it's man, I want to process. My 386 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: goal is to do forty five more like that's a goal. Yeah, 387 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: you said you. 388 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 1: And you said that earlier this year for the first time, 389 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: and I looked at you because we've talked about it 390 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: over the years. You're like, I don't know how many 391 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: more left? And I was like, bro, what you mean 392 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: you're not playing at such a high level? What are 393 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: you talking about no man, And I was like, oh, 394 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: all right, and this year you hit me with the 395 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: forty five more so, oh, I love to hear You're like, 396 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: what brought you to that? 397 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 2: There was a revelation, man, it was a revelation. Man. 398 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 2: My favorite player in the NBA is Lebron, of course, 399 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: and I've tracked him my whole life. I mean his 400 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 2: whole career. I've tracked him. I can give you almost 401 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: every statistic, every playoff game like. But now I have 402 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 2: a reason to track him, Like it was like, I 403 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: want to play two years after Lebron finished, and I'm 404 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 2: just so mesmerized by his longevity, his durability. He's still 405 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 2: playing at a high level, though they team not doing 406 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 2: as good as good as my team. Okay, see, let's 407 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: make sure we have clarity there. The Lakers beat us 408 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 2: the other night. But I admire his longevity, his durability 409 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 2: is his constant being at the top of his game. 410 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: But last year he led the league in past broad points. 411 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 2: Who does at thirty seven, thirty eight years old? And 412 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, man, if you running and jumping with these 413 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: young boys is coming in the league, I don't have 414 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 2: no excuse being I'm four years younger than him, and 415 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 2: so I'm like, well, Bron probably gonna play two more years. 416 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 2: We know he want to play with Ronnie. And so 417 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 2: if I say I want to be in the game 418 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: two years after he's done, they give me fourty five 419 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 2: more years. And so I just just give me a 420 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 2: rabbit to chase. When I have a rabbit, it makes me, 421 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 2: it makes me go. And so I got a gold 422 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 2: in mine and it's just rejuvenated. 423 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm not gonna lie to you. I 424 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: was be wondering because I said, what so you not 425 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: even changed somebody like like lateral in your position? You like, nah, 426 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: I see the greatest of all time, Lebron. So I'm 427 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: gonna outplay. I'm gonna outlay his longevity. That's crazy to 428 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: think about. Forty five years. Gonna put you in like 429 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: year sixteen, seventeen.

Let's just 441 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,639 Speaker 1: talk about, you know, not even just the long jetsy 442 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 1: been playing, but at the high level you've been playing. 443 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 1: Like you didn't even hit your first All Pro till 444 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: you turned thirty. You was at the New Orleans Saints. 445 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: You you know, you were from the Jets, where you know, 446 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: you would say it's a heavy market, you know, one 447 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: of those those marketing places that all you have to 448 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: do is be semi quasi, you know, explosive, stand out 449 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: on the field, and you're gonna get your accolade immediately, 450 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: you know, to be I don't know, I still don't 451 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: know how you went why or how you went to 452 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: the Browns back to the Jets, but then you came 453 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: to New Orleans and you've played your best football. It 454 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 1: just is what it is. Five All pros gives you 455 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: direct access, and it's hard to make All Pro, especially 456 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,679 Speaker 1: in the Saints, like it's a hard market to excel 457 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: it in terms of the eyes and terms of the accolades, 458 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: whatever comes, you have to earn it, and you've you've 459 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: done all of that. Like I said, so five pro 460 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: but like five all pros? How did you like, how 461 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: did you reflect on reaching this milestone, because there's I 462 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: think there's only like four or five Sames players that 463 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: ever reached five All pros. 464 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 2: In general, I think it goes back to twenty sixteen 465 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: me and a conversation, a conversation that I had with God. 466 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 2: I was ready to retire in twenty sixteen, my year 467 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 2: one year with the Browns. I feel like, you know, 468 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 2: playing with the Browns when they was the Browns that 469 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 2: I was on and to make anybody want to retire. 470 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 2: But man, I was ready to throw it in. I 471 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 2: didn't have I didn't have the mindset to change greatness 472 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 2: no more. My body was hurting and I went into 473 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,199 Speaker 2: my pre clauset. Man I just said, God, I'm done, 474 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: I'm finished. But I knew he wasn't done with me yet. 475 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: So it was like I was throwing in the towel, 476 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 2: just like, if you don't want me to do more, 477 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 2: you wanna have to do it. I was like, God, 478 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 2: you got to rejuvenate my mind. You got to rejuven 479 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 2: in my body. And I literally prayed that, and it 480 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 2: was like I heard an audible of God just say like, 481 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 2: thank you for throwing in the town. I got it 482 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 2: from here, and don't forget that you threw in the town. 483 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 2: That's why I tell that story so often, because I can't. 484 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 2: I have to give credit to what it's due. And slowly, 485 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: but surely, man, I just started training different and I 486 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 2: found a way to be more efficient in my game. Now. 487 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 2: I've been always been doing the numbers, go back to 488 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: my second year, my early years with the Jets, I 489 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 2: was always doing one hundred tackles. I was always doing 490 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 2: three to four sacks. I was doing the numbers, but 491 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: my game was just sloppy. Plus I was with the 492 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,959 Speaker 2: Jets twenty seventeen. After that moment, I come back, and 493 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: not only do I got the production, I got the 494 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 2: efficiency to match. So I'm not missing as many tackles. 495 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 2: I'm not getting beatn coverage. You know, I'm making my 496 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 2: plays in the backfield versus you know, three or four 497 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 2: yards down the line, down the field. Just cleaning my 498 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 2: game up a lot. And that was problem. Statistically, one 499 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 2: of my best seasons, but the same time I was 500 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 2: with the Jets and nobody saw it. Fast forward twenty eighteen. 501 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 2: I come to the Saints and we go to the 502 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 2: conference championship game. I'm doing the same thing, but everybody 503 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 2: sees it, and now it's welcome to is welcome to 504 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 2: the NFL per se? 505 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: I kind of to me, Welcome to the NFL. Welcome 506 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 1: to the NFL. Twenty seventeen. 507 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, because twenty seventeen was really like my rookie season 508 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 2: because after that humbling moment, there was a new that 509 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 2: was a new beast that was awake and that was retroduceable. 510 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 511 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so twenty seventeen twenty eighteen was kind of that, 512 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: you know, putting it on display. They might have thought 513 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen was a fluke, and I did it again 514 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen, and then when it happened in twenty nineteen, 515 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 2: we didn't go as far as the team, but the 516 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 2: production was still there. And I think that's when the 517 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,199 Speaker 2: Notarioty game and since then it just hasn't been no 518 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 2: drop off. I think they thought because it was thirty 519 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 2: that there was going to be drop off, but there wasn't. 520 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 2: But I think it's because I'm running on something different 521 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 2: and it's the Holy Spirit. 522 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,359 Speaker 1: We're not going to just run through like that was 523 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: a time where you know, Man of God, I come 524 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: to the house and now he got the Man of 525 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 1: God headband on there. I said, that's how you know 526 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 1: it's official when everybody in the house body. When did 527 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: high breed come come about? 528 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 2: Man? Hybrid probably came in my training in twenty nineteen, 529 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 2: I believe, so twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, my goal was 530 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 2: just to be the best linebackers in the league. But 531 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, I believe it was just a lot of 532 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 2: linebackers that was in that conversation, and so it was 533 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 2: Bobby Wagner, I think Fred was on the scene. Then 534 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 2: twenty twenty you had guys like Shaq Leonard in that 535 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: conversation of David Dead or White started jumping into conversation. 536 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: So it was a lot of people. And if you see, 537 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 2: it's always this best linebacker conversation, who's the best linebacker? 538 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 2: And so for me it became him about differentiation and 539 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: what is What was differentiation for me was it's a 540 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,640 Speaker 2: lot of hybrid players in the league, and a hybrid 541 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: is someone who can kind of be a twiner. Right, 542 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 2: you have a guy who can be a D lineman, 543 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: but he can be also outside linebacker. You have uh 544 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 2: a safety slash nickel or nickel slash corner. You know, 545 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: Uh that Simmons guy that got drafted, Uh that was 546 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: playing a Z I think he's a different team now. 547 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: He was a high Yeah he's never at the Giants 548 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: now yeah. 549 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. And UH with the hybrid was like, I feel 550 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: like I can go into a game and play one 551 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: position and dominate on all three levels. Like I feel 552 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 2: like they can put me in the game and safety 553 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 2: and I'd be a great box safety. Like I know 554 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 2: all the coverages. I know how to come up and fit. 555 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 2: I can cover one on one on tight ends or 556 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 2: running back that get put out at number two every 557 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 2: now and then if it's a slide, I can I 558 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: can handle that. At the same time, I can go 559 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: and play the defensive line. I feel like I can 560 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 2: be on the edge all game, whish they did for 561 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 2: us one time we played the Rams. I just had 562 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: to sit out there on the edge and ain't gonna 563 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: talk about that game. But I can. 564 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: It's difficut on the edge. Now we gotta hold that 565 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: hold the edge. 566 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 2: I got respect for all positions. I'm not trying to 567 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 2: say that, but that's what I feel like when I'm 568 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: saying high Breed is like I can truly I'm not 569 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 2: like a twer. I can play a line back, I 570 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 2: can play defensive line and I can play. 571 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: D B for not a high brid high Breed like built. 572 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 2: Different, Yes, sir different. It's like a transformer. I'm transforming 573 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 2: whatever you need. 574 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: Is there any game that this year that you you 575 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: saw as like the changing moving for our season? Like 576 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: I'm clearly going to say, you know, the Week three 577 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: matchup versus the Packers, right, because at that time we 578 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: talked about it. I was like we could take advantage 579 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: of Jordan Love like this is he's really a rookie 580 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: and you know that to me, we were up seventeen 581 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 1: oh and Lambeau was silent. Could hear me snap fingers, 582 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of the field to the sidelines, 583 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: quiet as hell? And then we ended up losing eighteen 584 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: to seventeen. Is there a game that you look back like, 585 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: how do we lose? Like? How did we do this? 586 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 2: That was a tough game because we were looking to 587 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 2: put it all together, and you just think about like momentum. 588 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 2: I'm a big basketball fan. I feel like this is 589 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: one of the best sports where you can see momentum change. 590 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 2: And man, the momentum in that game and the way 591 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 2: it suck the air out of my season early on. 592 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 2: It was like it took us a minute to grapple 593 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 2: after that because we had just kind of been being 594 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 2: played our best football yet and then it looked like 595 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 2: we had put it together for a half and we 596 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 2: were ready to come out the second half, and then 597 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: DC go down on the first drive. We started reeling 598 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 2: as a defense, and they come back and they put 599 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 2: some drives together. I mean, we had them shut down 600 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: the first half, and then all of a sudden they 601 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 2: just get life, and uh man, you just you weren't 602 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 2: expecting a game like that, to realize that you gave 603 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: this game up when when you had it in the back, 604 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 2: and you kind of not want to let one game 605 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 2: turn into two games, you know. But like when I 606 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 2: think about the momentum of that, I think about that 607 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 2: that kind of reminds me of like Colorado. Everybody followed 608 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 2: Colorado football, but they had kind of had like an 609 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: up and down season and then they played I think 610 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 2: was Stanford. Was this Stanford that they blew out in 611 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 2: the first half and then they came all the way 612 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 2: back and and gave that game up. 613 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: Might I think with Stafford, But they started off like 614 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: four to roh and then all of a sudden. 615 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 2: They started hot. But then you know they played. 616 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: Uh usc before, but then they played. 617 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 2: Like come back, and I think that was the Stanford game. 618 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: So they won one more than they played Stanford. After 619 00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: that game, they never recovered. It didn't seem like they 620 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 2: were covered after that. And so I feel like that 621 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 2: was kind of us in Green Bay. We got it 622 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 2: in parts, but we never really got back to that 623 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 2: stride until late in the season. But I did like 624 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 2: the way that we finished. If we could have found 625 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 2: that earlier in the year. 626 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: I could have swore we found that when we when 627 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: we trounced the Patriots. Now we beat him thirty five. 628 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: I said, ah, I said, this is a Bill Belichick 629 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: led team like this, it don't matter, like you don't 630 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: do this to Bill Belichick minus the players, because you 631 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: know they got Matt juwide on over there, they got 632 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: the other air rusher. Then you know running back was 633 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: running when the game was all right. I was like, 634 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,959 Speaker 1: we thirty five zero the Patriots. That doesn't happen. And 635 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: then but it was like, like we said, bro, like 636 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, the inconsistencies of it all, We really didn't 637 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: catch that consistent. All right, this is what we're gonna 638 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: do on offense, is going to do on defense until 639 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: the end. And I was like, well, that's where you 640 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: want to peak anyways, so all we need is a ticket. 641 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: And then that didn't happen our way. But what you're 642 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: you're a lot more even killed than I am. Like 643 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: you know me, bro, I'm amped up on on ten 644 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: for everything. And you be like, yeah, so this is 645 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: what we got to do during the week, and then 646 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: on then on game day you on you on like twelve, 647 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: you become highbrid you know what I'm saying. You go 648 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: in that thing and you what we got to do it. 649 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, you wasn't acting like this Monday through Saturday. 650 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: There is now I did on. 651 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 2: The work, man. I think we just the word was 652 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 2: just inconsistent. 653 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 1: Man. 654 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 2: We were just too inconsistent this year. And it was 655 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 2: it was very disappointing because we didn't achieve our goals 656 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 2: and we're living in the results of that because of inconsistency, 657 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,400 Speaker 2: And for me, my process is I want to be 658 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 2: consistent during the week so that I can get the 659 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 2: same results on Sunday. And individually I felt like I 660 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 2: was able to do that, but it's in vain because 661 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 2: collectively we didn't achieve that. And like, when I'm in 662 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 2: that's what my reflective time looks like, it's could I 663 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 2: have done more on that collective piece? And that's how 664 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 2: I'm approaching the off season to figure out if I can, 665 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,520 Speaker 2: if I can achieve consistency for myself, how do I 666 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 2: how do I spread that? And I don't think I 667 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,279 Speaker 2: did a good enough job. 668 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 1: And uh yeah, when you come to that revelation, it 669 00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: didn't start when you were like how do you? How 670 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: did you become so even killed? Like you've been able 671 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 1: to step back and look at the game as as 672 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: a whole. That started off from your jet days, like 673 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 1: the younger days when you had I'm just thinking about 674 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,720 Speaker 1: it in your locker room. You had what Darrell rewis 675 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: back in the gap. You had like original Antonio Commarty, 676 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 1: like stone cold Antonio Commarti, like Crow Reavers Island. 677 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had great I had great vets Man. It 678 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 2: was Reeves, was Crow. I had Dave Harris who did 679 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 2: ten years, Bart Scott who's see O TV now, Calvin Pace, 680 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 2: the Brickershaw Ferguson on the offensive side, So I wasn't 681 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: just dealing with defensive guys. The Brickershaw Ferguson on the offense, 682 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,919 Speaker 2: Nick Mango, Nick Folk, who's still kicking now. 683 00:34:59,120 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: Man. 684 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 2: I just had a full of veterans that you can 685 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 2: just go and pull information from. I played with DeMont 686 00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 2: and Lauren Landry. Uh man. I had some guys man 687 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 2: that he was just learned so much from guys who 688 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 2: had had a ton of success. A Antonio Holmes was 689 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 2: on that team. Mhm uh that you could just pull 690 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 2: information from. You can learn a lot of things of 691 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 2: what to do, You can learn a lot of things 692 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 2: and what not to do. But everybody was on my 693 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,879 Speaker 2: team was at seven eight years, and I'm like, dang, 694 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 2: they ain't doing it like they passed the threshold. You know. 695 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 2: It was that fear of man, I just trying to 696 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,040 Speaker 2: make it three three and three games. Let me just 697 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 2: get my my pension, you know. But I was able 698 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:53,200 Speaker 2: to pull from them guys just from recovery from approach, 699 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 2: you know, just how to how to stay in the game. 700 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: And I still rely on a lot of those baseline principles, 701 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 2: but I put my own in. I put my own 702 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 2: work in, you know, I found my own lane. I 703 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,839 Speaker 2: found what works for me, and I do a lot 704 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 2: of mental training and I think that's what allows me 705 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 2: to be more reflective. So all throughout the season, I'm 706 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 2: meeting with our team with our team site, which I 707 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 2: just called my mental performance coach, and we were just 708 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: talking about the game. We would talk about week to 709 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: weeks how to find that consistency and how I was 710 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,279 Speaker 2: finding that consistency was in practice, and I just felt 711 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 2: like if I if my routine was working, don't change it. 712 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,440 Speaker 2: If it was something that wasn't working, changing and uh, 713 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 2: that's kind of the mode I stayed in. And that's 714 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,279 Speaker 2: why you see me even keill. And then when it's 715 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 2: game time, you know, it's all about bringing the warrior 716 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,279 Speaker 2: out like, ain't no flinch, ain't no fear. Let's go, 717 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 2: and now it's time to bring everything that you to 718 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 2: meditate it on out for the public. Ain't no time 719 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 2: to think about it. It's time to go. And that's 720 00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 2: what you saw game day. 721 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,479 Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I come to bring hands 722 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 1: every day. That's practice, that's breakfast, that's lunch, that's dinner. 723 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 2: I lived my life so absolutely it's a walk through it. 724 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: I'm looking for smoke, looking for smoke. Already, I go 725 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: home looking for smoke. I come back, look for smoke. 726 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:17,919 Speaker 1: I'm gonna learn. I'm gonna learn how to be even killed. 727 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: Won't be like you when I grow up. I'm gonna 728 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: learn how tomna learn how to chill out. 729 00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 2: I tell you all the time, Bro, I asked you 730 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 2: that all the time, Like, how does it feel to 731 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 2: wake up and be camp Jordan? 732 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 1: Well, I know what I mean. Now that I got 733 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: a son who's just like me, I can see how 734 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: can be taxing? See take wake up and wake up 735 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 1: earlier than I do. Just okay, yes, sir, got your 736 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:49,439 Speaker 1: swag all over here? Oh man, Bro, did you think 737 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: about our locker room this year? Just safe defense alone? 738 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: We had what three or four veta over thirty you 739 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: know our team had what five or six? Was with me? 740 00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: You tie Derek Carr what thirty two? Jimmy Graham thirty five, 741 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: thirty six that I feel like they had to help. 742 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: But just mixing in the season vets with just that 743 00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: that young talent like that had to have helped the 744 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 1: team for sure. Let's just talk about our defensive side, 745 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,919 Speaker 1: like you talk about it on every level. There's there's 746 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,760 Speaker 1: your again, you go to the safeties, there's Tyrant Marsham 747 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 1: probably just what eight, he's still young. But there's you 748 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,879 Speaker 1: on linebackers, me at D line. So that open line 749 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 1: of communication, bro it was has always been there, especially 750 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: during the games or practice whatever it was. I feel 751 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 1: like that's what I'm I'm looking harping on. I'm like, 752 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,000 Speaker 1: we have open line of communication. How like, how do 753 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,440 Speaker 1: we take that next step? But in terms of just 754 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,959 Speaker 1: talking to younger guys, do you find that it's hard 755 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: to relate to them? Do like when you talk about 756 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: year one, year two type players? 757 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think, man, it is. The great piece 758 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 2: is like when you have it at all levels, you 759 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 2: got Pro Bowl at all levels. So when I when 760 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 2: I look at you on the defensive line, like I know, 761 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 2: I don't have to go talk to all the guys 762 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 2: on D line. I can take a missione to you 763 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 2: and it's gonna go to all the guys. The same 764 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 2: thing with Tying, I don't have to talk to the DBS. 765 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 2: I'll just go to him and he will pass it on, 766 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 2: whether it's mess for practice, mess for the game, and 767 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,439 Speaker 2: so having that is great. I do think that there's 768 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 2: a communication gap that just exists in society because of 769 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 2: the way that we learned how to communicate. I'm a 770 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,520 Speaker 2: I guess me and you kind of the same boat. 771 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,279 Speaker 2: We're kind of like a middle generation, and so we 772 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: got pieces of the old school, and we're dealing with 773 00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 2: people who are all the way digitals. Like one of 774 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 2: the guys in the locker room wasn't born when nine 775 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 2: eleven happened, like. 776 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:49,120 Speaker 1: Some of the guy was one of the guys, some 777 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 1: of the guys. 778 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 2: Some of the guys, But we have a conversation about it, 779 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,680 Speaker 2: Like he didn't even know what date it was. No, 780 00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 2: like it's called not eleven. 781 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,280 Speaker 1: He was like not they have no Yeah, I ever. 782 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: Put nobody on the spot. But he was like, I said, 783 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 2: do you know when not Living happened? He's like, yeah, 784 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 2: it was like November right. No no, no, no, no, no, 785 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,760 Speaker 2: you're trying to fix it. But it was a real 786 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,880 Speaker 2: conversation and everybody was like yo, wow, And it was 787 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:20,919 Speaker 2: one of those moments like, man, we are we're kind 788 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 2: of like in a in a. 789 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: Time war and yeah, but I think. 790 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 2: It's still the onus of the responsibility of figuring out 791 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,480 Speaker 2: that that communication. One of the things that one of 792 00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 2: my mentors was helping me learn, he said, what language 793 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 2: was God talking to Adam and even in the garden. 794 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 2: And I was like, yo, and that everybody has a 795 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 2: language because they're human. And though it may be a 796 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,920 Speaker 2: digital language, though it may be uh, you know, more choppy, 797 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 2: more emojis, right, you know what means that you communicate through, 798 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 2: it's still communication. And to figure out that language is 799 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:09,839 Speaker 2: the responsibility of a leader to figure out and you 800 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 2: just learn how to reach guys. And that's what I 801 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,560 Speaker 2: was in my reflective time. I'm looking and I'm like, 802 00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 2: I don't think I did a good enough job, you know. 803 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,840 Speaker 2: And I think it's easier to be dismissive and just 804 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 2: be like, oh, they're a young generation, they'll figure it 805 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 2: out or they. 806 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: Got to figure it out now, you know. 807 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: But I think it's it's this game has always been 808 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,240 Speaker 2: the older guys teach the younger guys what is supposed 809 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:34,680 Speaker 2: to look like. 810 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 1: And I think it was so much easier to do 811 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: that when we were younger because you had to be 812 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms. And now it's a digital age 813 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: where everybody has iPads, you know, Microsoft tablets and can 814 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: watch film, do everything else isolated. And I think that 815 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,879 Speaker 1: isolation is also causing a divide as well. 816 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 2: I agree that's that's one of the things is socially 817 00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:01,960 Speaker 2: we communicate different, right, Like how we grew up. You 818 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 2: go to the playground, you go to the park, you compete, 819 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 2: you go outside. It's a it's a it's a it's 820 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 2: an unnecessary Rougherens football game going on, throw it up 821 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 2: and running. You don't get it how you live Like 822 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 2: what you see the kids, our kids attempting to do 823 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 2: when they play football after the game, right, but they 824 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 2: don't do that just other than that event. They're not 825 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:29,240 Speaker 2: just outside other after that, they're going to organize sports, 826 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 2: Like it was so much play that was unorganized. 827 00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,680 Speaker 1: There ain't no neighborhood football no more. Like i'm. 828 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 2: A know, ain't no just pick up basketball game going 829 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 2: on them down on the corner at the park. You know, 830 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 2: like everything is organized right, like you go to you 831 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 2: go to a lifetime gym. Now they got they don't 832 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:52,360 Speaker 2: move to basketball. Course, they got pickball games going on, 833 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 2: and pick aball has a system. It's a system to 834 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:57,640 Speaker 2: get in the game. Have you ever been to a 835 00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,279 Speaker 2: pickball game? No, a pickup pick a ball game. You 836 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 2: don't just go and be like I got next. 837 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: You gotta go. 838 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 2: You gotta put your racket in a certain spot. That's 839 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,800 Speaker 2: how they know. And then they have like pro courts, 840 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 2: and then they have like the amateur courts, and it's like, 841 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: it's a system, bro. Like, you can't just show up 842 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 2: at pickleball and just be like I got nixed, like 843 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 2: basketball courts, it's all. They've moved the basketball courts out. 844 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:27,120 Speaker 2: Pickball is what's he in and so like, But this 845 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,719 Speaker 2: is this is our society now, right, It's it's much 846 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 2: more digital, organized structure versus just random and so like. 847 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 2: What that does is I don't even know how to 848 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 2: communicate with you unless it's under a certain format, right, 849 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 2: I only know how to meet you on this app. 850 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,800 Speaker 2: I only know how to meet you in a space 851 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 2: that's organized, like a team meeting is where I'm gonna 852 00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 2: see you. And but then no team meeting going on 853 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 2: while we're still at the building. That's that's a that's 854 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 2: a mentality, that's a mindset, right Whereas what four years ago, 855 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 2: five years ago, meetings and meetings been over for four hours, 856 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 2: everybody still in the locker room, some people watching, some 857 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,680 Speaker 2: people Nintendo, some people shooting basketball. But we all just 858 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 2: building that chemistry. So it's just different. And so it's like, Okay, well, 859 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 2: how do you reach this generation that's under kind of 860 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 2: a different mindset when it comes to camaraderie. You still 861 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 2: have to find a way to meet him. And I 862 00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 2: think that's that is a struggle. I haven't haven't found 863 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 2: that yet, but it gotta be. 864 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,200 Speaker 1: Some absolutely bro.

And he'll hop in the car 887 00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: immediately for the but them first, like four weeks, I 888 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 1: was trying to figure him out. I said, hey man, 889 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: like I got it, Like I don't. I'm not getting 890 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:39,840 Speaker 1: nothing from him, like, hey man, what you see on 891 00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,280 Speaker 1: this film? Yeah? But if I text him about something, 892 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 1: I get a paragraph. I'm like this don't make okay, Okay, 893 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: I'll see what I gotta do here, Like you just 894 00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: got It's weird bro to to think that I get 895 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 1: digital age bro like this, you know, watch film, see 896 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: things differently, talk to players like. It's just trying to 897 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 1: figure it out. I'm like, oh man, it's such a 898 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: huge gap. But at the end of today, at least 899 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 1: in terms of defensive line, there's always been different cats 900 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 1: on the D line. You know, you have one that's outgoing, 901 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: one that's not one this So this is just a 902 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,040 Speaker 1: different way to look at it. And how do I 903 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: reach my guy? Well, if he likes to eat, then 904 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: I guess we're eating. And if he likes, you know, 905 00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: if he likes if he likes to watch film, then 906 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,080 Speaker 1: that's how we watch film. Like it's it's time consuming, 907 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:21,520 Speaker 1: that's an effort. 908 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 2: It's a lot more attactical. And I think you just 909 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:29,799 Speaker 2: helped me with something that Communication now is a lot 910 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 2: more individualized because society is much more custom Whereas everybody 911 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 2: had before had to conform to society, now society conforms 912 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 2: to the consumer. Right. Think about all the algorithms that 913 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,719 Speaker 2: present themselves. It knows how to present itself to you, 914 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,720 Speaker 2: the shopper, versus the customer having to go to the store. 915 00:46:52,840 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 2: Like Black Friday, you got it, You got it if 916 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 2: you could get there early enough and. 917 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 3: Get it in everybody there five everybody had to conform 918 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:08,280 Speaker 3: to the marketplace, not a marketplace. Marketplace conforms to the consumer. 919 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 3: And so I think that's the same way when you 920 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 3: think about like being. 921 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 2: A being a teammate, right, the teammates used to all 922 00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 2: the teammates conformed to whatever the team was on. Whatever 923 00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:20,920 Speaker 2: you have a team, you gotta be able to conform 924 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,359 Speaker 2: to all the individuals, right, So you have to make 925 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,080 Speaker 2: sure you still hold onto your principles and stuff that 926 00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 2: you're not gonna sway on the course. So it's not 927 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 2: just saying like you you just kind of rolling, yeah, 928 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,279 Speaker 2: but I think you have to be willing to go 929 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,880 Speaker 2: and meet individuals where they're at, and you gotta that's 930 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 2: just what society is, right if you just think about, like, 931 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 2: you know, look at all the guys who come in. 932 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,400 Speaker 2: They played in college and the college didn't conform to 933 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 2: them what they do, Hey, transporport them. 934 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: I'm going transport them. 935 00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,600 Speaker 2: And they talented enough, they're gonna they're gonna make it in. 936 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,959 Speaker 1: It ain't got or yeah for sure. 937 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 2: And uh that's not the case for everybody, but for 938 00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 2: a lot of them. And so that everybody's just used 939 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,520 Speaker 2: to everything being catered to them, and so like I 940 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 2: can see how you're dealing with different lanes of communication 941 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,520 Speaker 2: and something that's gonna benefit some is not. And I 942 00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:20,440 Speaker 2: think just being able to communicate a message to them 943 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 2: that this is what the league is about, this is 944 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:27,719 Speaker 2: what it stands on. I'm conforming to you because I 945 00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,759 Speaker 2: want to give you the principals that's gonna get help 946 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 2: me be successful. I'm not conforming to you to think 947 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,480 Speaker 2: that it's your way because it's game. 948 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,160 Speaker 1: It's I'm not acquiescing. I'm not saying hey, I'm doing 949 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:40,239 Speaker 1: your way. No, I'm coming to you so you could 950 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,040 Speaker 1: take this information better, this how this is how we're 951 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 1: moving on.

Like 980 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,400 Speaker 2: my legacy has little to do with me than me 981 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:26,080 Speaker 2: trying to be a representation of God. It's about how 982 00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,960 Speaker 2: my wife remembers me and is able to tell my story. 983 00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:32,799 Speaker 2: And if you haven't seen Hamilton, bro, Hamilton is the 984 00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,479 Speaker 2: greatest play ever. Like I used to be online king, 985 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:41,280 Speaker 2: I graduated. Hamilton is the best. But it's a little 986 00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:45,160 Speaker 2: it's a little playing there, a little playing on words 987 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 2: in there that I'm saying, you know, how my wife 988 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 2: is able to remember me, how she's able to tell 989 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,439 Speaker 2: my story, How my kids the lessons that they get 990 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 2: from me, and everything after that is a secondary really, 991 00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,879 Speaker 2: you know, if I could be a good enough representation 992 00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,279 Speaker 2: of God that my kids get it and they want 993 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,680 Speaker 2: to reflect God and they own lives. Man, it's worth it. 994 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 2: It's worth it all. It's life will live. 995 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,479 Speaker 1: Yeah, look, you used to talk to you talked about 996 00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: Hamilton a few times this year. You go see the person, right. 997 00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, we went with New York. My daughter, actually my 998 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 2: my ten year old daughter, oldest, she was on it, 999 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 2: and she she's musically inclined and musically gifted. She memorized 1000 00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 2: the whole I mean, if you listen to these songs, 1001 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 2: they like little rap songs, and they got so many words. 1002 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,680 Speaker 2: But she memorized the soundtrack front to back, like you 1003 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 2: start playing out any part, pick any song, she gonna 1004 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 2: start singing it. 1005 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: That's her jam. 1006 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 2: And so we had to go see it. So we 1007 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,560 Speaker 2: went to New York. Not to mention my kids, was like, 1008 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,399 Speaker 2: we're back at home and that's where we were born. 1009 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,160 Speaker 2: My oldest too, and uh, we took them to see the play. 1010 00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:58,279 Speaker 2: When saw Hamilton, win saw Lion King, and I was 1011 00:51:58,320 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 2: just blown away. I had always heard of Hamilton, but 1012 00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 2: I never went saw it. But definitely something that's it's 1013 00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,680 Speaker 2: as many people talk about Hamilton, it's still underrated, that's 1014 00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:10,439 Speaker 2: how good it is. 1015 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,839 Speaker 1: Hmm. Yeah, I feel like I've seen not on one 1016 00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,960 Speaker 1: of the apps, so it was like a Hamilton live 1017 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,399 Speaker 1: music whatever, and I was like, nah, do you see 1018 00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 1: I feel like yeah, like I said, one of the 1019 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,200 Speaker 1: maps had it, and I was just like, I just 1020 00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,520 Speaker 1: feel like it's one of the things you have to 1021 00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 1: see in person. Like if I watch, you know. 1022 00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:30,920 Speaker 2: Don't don't somebody your statue. 1023 00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 1: Definitely, man, you know, my sisters may only last five 1024 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:35,120 Speaker 1: to ten. 1025 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,000 Speaker 2: Wat yourself watching on the app and then try to 1026 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 2: go see the person. Yeah, definitely, man, definitely say you 1027 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:45,840 Speaker 2: get a chance to go see the person. 1028 00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: They just do it a full disservice. I moved so 1029 00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 1: fast being. 1030 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,320 Speaker 2: In America and not having the chief Burder not seeing. 1031 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:58,960 Speaker 1: Him is okay, big, big standard. Okay. I'm like I said, 1032 00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,280 Speaker 1: next time in New York, I'm gonna look up a lifetime. 1033 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:06,280 Speaker 1: Is it still going? It's probably still going, But I'm 1034 00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate you tapping in, Brom. I'm gonna get you 1035 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:10,959 Speaker 1: out of here because I know it's getting rather late, 1036 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,719 Speaker 1: and with you know, all seventy five kids yours, kidd, 1037 00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I appreciate WD for tapping in with me. 1038 00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: Like I said, my guys gonna be profound at every level. 1039 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean all in the field and off the field. 1040 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 1: You're gonna leave like I can be a better person. 1041 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,200 Speaker 1: But I also want to transition to you know, the 1042 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: all Pro selections came out, and I've got discrepancies, so 1043 00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: I'd rather just create my own liss. You know. Maybe 1044 00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,239 Speaker 1: maybe it's because I really don't agree with this edge 1045 00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,879 Speaker 1: rusher situation, which they always gonna leave on. Like, Bro, 1046 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,839 Speaker 1: there should be outside linebackers or edge rushers and then 1047 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,840 Speaker 1: defensive ends, you know, like defensive ends forwards. Like so 1048 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say edge rusher. You're gonna throw your Miles Garretts, 1049 00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,479 Speaker 1: your t J. Watts, you know, defensive end, i' musa 1050 00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: say Max Crosby, you know, and I might even you know, 1051 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,720 Speaker 1: throw a ringer in the way class Campbell was playing 1052 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,040 Speaker 1: this year towards the end of the year like that 1053 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: would that would probably give him a second team All 1054 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,680 Speaker 1: Pro as a defensive end, but again that's not what 1055 00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:19,160 Speaker 1: they do. So interior lineman, of course, I think, you know, big, 1056 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 1: big Dexter Lawrence is a monstrosity that needs respect. Now 1057 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,960 Speaker 1: I think he got like second team All Pro, but noah, 1058 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:31,319 Speaker 1: in terms of interior complete rusher and passer him. Then 1059 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 1: I'd also throw in, you know, you can't not talk 1060 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:35,760 Speaker 1: about Chris Jones what he was doing. And Aaron Donald 1061 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 1: is a force to be reckoned with at every place. 1062 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,440 Speaker 1: So then it's it's anonymous, you know. So maybe I'll 1063 00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,759 Speaker 1: switch up that order. I go Dexter Lawrence for sure, 1064 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 1: and I'll may give Chris Jones, and then I put 1065 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald right after. Uh lead us to linebackers. So 1066 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: if I had to go, I guess I say Dexter Lawrence, 1067 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: Chris Jones, boom, then linebackers of course, you know, I know, 1068 00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 1: there's so many great people out there, but double D 1069 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,040 Speaker 1: is in the category of his own. I mean, he 1070 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 1: had six and a half sacks as a linebacker, blitzing linebacker, 1071 00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: whatever you wanna call linebacker. Don't put a running back 1072 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,680 Speaker 1: on him because he's going through as well as all 1073 00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 1: the tackles in the world. And then, of course, you 1074 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: know I agree with I like Fred Warner. I think 1075 00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 1: man bar none. He's elite at every level. But I'm 1076 00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,680 Speaker 1: gonna throw in the middle linebacker from the Giants, which 1077 00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,800 Speaker 1: I feel like this isn't get enough love. Now. I 1078 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,480 Speaker 1: don't know how to say his last name, but Bobby, 1079 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: oh Carrie. I hope I didn't butcher that. But we 1080 00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: played him and it tuned me to his game. I 1081 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,520 Speaker 1: wasn't aware, but I'm aware of now, and I like 1082 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,240 Speaker 1: the way he played. Then, of course, you talk about 1083 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:49,799 Speaker 1: your corners and the kid from Dallas, Darren bland Mento 1084 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:54,800 Speaker 1: from Dallas Cowboys elite. But I'm gonna throw in Pausing 1085 00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,279 Speaker 1: a debo. For some reason, nobody's talking about the type 1086 00:55:57,280 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 1: of year that he had. My man was bawling, you know, 1087 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:07,239 Speaker 1: four deceptions, going crazy, lowest percentage of completions like top 1088 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,000 Speaker 1: three ish, Top four ish. There was no corner doing 1089 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 1: he was doing. You know, there was a lot of 1090 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,120 Speaker 1: guys who might have had higher interceptions, but now of 1091 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,400 Speaker 1: them completion rates will higher too. Paulson Adebo deserved an 1092 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,640 Speaker 1: All Pro nod this year, a probo nod or something nod. 1093 00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,480 Speaker 1: Are you going to give it to a Jayalen Ramsey 1094 00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,239 Speaker 1: or you know, Sauce Gardener because nobody's targeting them because 1095 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 1: they know better. But when they did a Paulstling, he 1096 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 1: earned each and every one of them, which leads me 1097 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,400 Speaker 1: to a slot quarter Like I don't get how you 1098 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,080 Speaker 1: can have corners in the slot corner all pro, but 1099 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,000 Speaker 1: you have edge rushers just period not defensive ends and 1100 00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 1: then out you know, outside linebacker edge rusher types. But 1101 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 1: you say, a slot corner, how you can leave that there? 1102 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City's McDuffie. That works. And then safeties of course, 1103 00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:59,160 Speaker 1: you know Kyle Hamilton out of Baltimore, you know, coming 1104 00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,279 Speaker 1: from another Dames Prizing pick. For me, I'm clearly not 1105 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:06,520 Speaker 1: watching enough Baltimore defense film because in my mind, where 1106 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:09,160 Speaker 1: you think about a safety of free safety, I'm thinking 1107 00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:12,719 Speaker 1: Marcus Williams out of Baltimore and then you know Tampa Bay. 1108 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,720 Speaker 1: The safety they had Antoine Winfield Junior was him this year. 1109 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 1: No doubt. He was balling at our extremely high level. 1110 00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,160 Speaker 1: Couldn't never really left the tape. He deserved that one. 1111 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 1: And that's gonna be my list for you know what 1112 00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 1: I think should be all pros. I appreciate y'all tuning 1113 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: in with me.
