25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: this week's Players Club with Felers.

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 4: You know every week we had a segment of dubs.

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 4: Other week, you know we're gonna basically recap who got

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 4: a dub or who knew we get what individual player

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: or you can say the core that you want to

30
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: give a dub from our previous game. So looking back

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: at that Ravens game, I know there's nothing that we

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: can take out of that but our team for the

33
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 4: hard But who's one of the guys orders order at

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 4: the side of the ball that you want to give

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: a dub to?

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

37
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: You know, first of all, we got so used to

38
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: getting dubs. Man, it's kind of different. We don't want

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: to get used to this. Give our individuals. I would

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: say this though, I thought Jayden Daniels, Yeah, Jade Daiels,

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna.

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: Get the double the week.

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: When you look at him and that ball game against

44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens especially, I would say maybe from the middle

45
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: of the second quarter on saddled down starting to make

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: some plays, he has some some throws on the sideline.

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I know, you got to appreciate this as a as

48
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: a wide receiver.

49
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 3: That young and you know his career.

50
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, So it was some.

51
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Balls like some cors, some comebacks on the sideline, put

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: it the only way to where to receive we catch it.

53
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: The touchdown throw, the last.

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: One of Terry mccorn. Both those throws are outstanding. It's

55
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: hard to watch that game, even though it was a loss,

56
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 1: not to give Jayden Dalliels a.

57
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 3: Double week My double we goes to his potting and

58
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 3: crime Terry McLaurin. I just feel like their relationship you

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: can see it growing each and every quarter, each and

60
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: every game. And you talked about their last pass. Man,

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 3: I'm a defensive back. Sometime passes out you can't defend them,

62
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: like when you throw the ball at the time he did,

63
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: Terry was not even coming out of his break at

64
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: the time. The soft spot where he put that ball in.

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: It was either Terry or nobody gets their ball. So

66
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: just their connection. So I want to get Terry, and

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure Terry is really loving the momentumly getting specially

68
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 3: with all the ups and the downs he's dealt with

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 3: from the quarterback position. Just watching them grow has been

70
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: one of those things where I'm like, how they're gonna

71
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 3: be at the game sixteen, Game fifteen. This is this

72
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: is the beginning of something special. I think, Yeah, I.

73
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: Think we're gonna keep it on the same side of

74
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 4: the ball, you know, with my dub other week. I'm

75
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: gonna stick with the offense as a whole. Yeah, I

76
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: think offensively, man, you look at it. It wasn't until

77
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 4: that day of the game when I found that Bee

78
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: Rod wasn't gonna play. So I'm pretty sure that they

79
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: said something that night before. I wasn't paying attention. But

80
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: when I got there and I heard that Bee robers down,

81
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 4: I was like.

82
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 3: Okay, you know, we have the guys.

83
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 4: But I also understood that the Ravens was known for

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 4: kind of being stopping and run one game, so I

85
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 4: was wondering how he was going to get this done without,

86
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: you know, being I guess you can say having our bill,

87
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 4: our bell cow, but I think collectively, man, you could

88
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 4: add Kingsbury into this too. They still went out there

89
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: and got the job there to a degree, you know

90
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 4: what I mean. It wasn't they didn't come out with

91
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 4: the outcome that we wanted. But for you not to

92
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: have the guy that you miss stuff from that ball

93
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: into it, and then you think about they had a

94
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 4: stat going into this game where I'm not sure how

95
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: far it was, but every time we rushed for thirty

96
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 4: or more carries, we won those games. And going into

97
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 4: this game, you look at it. We ended that game

98
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: with I believe eighteen and so to me, that was

99
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 4: the deciding factor of why we wasn't able to probably

100
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 4: get over the hump in that game and get a

101
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: couple more scores in there. So offensively, you know, missing

102
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 4: that kind of I guess you can say physicality his

103
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: physical part of the game. We'll still go out there

104
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: and go toe to toe. I had to get them

105
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 4: a dub as a whole schmood. You bring up a

106
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 4: great point. You mentioned the physicality also double the week. Yeah,

107
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: I think we should mentioned this guy Noel Brown. Yeah,

108
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: no Brown played really good.

109
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: Nobody ever talks about past interference times goes this, We

110
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 3: get a thirty thirty five yard pass interference, So you know,

111
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: I know it, don't it don't come fast year, but man,

112
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 3: it's a difference, man.

113
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 1: And it was a third down passing the fence but

114
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: missing and mintioning and physicality. And I talked about this

115
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: on the on the Booth Review podcast. With Brown not

116
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: having b Robs, so those runs, obviously we only had

117
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: eighteen carries would had I'm thinking at least Brob gonna

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: have fifteen carris mean forward on all of them exactly,

119
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: so where it might be instead of a thirty six,

120
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: it might be thirty three thirty three.

121
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so a.

122
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: Lot more managed, easy, manageable, down the distance, time of possession.

123
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: Now starting to us favor us a little bit more.

124
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens aren't on the field as long, our defense

125
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: maybe doesn't get worn down as much of the game.

126
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: The dynamic the Florida game changes a lot when you're

127
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: when you have a guy like b Rob in that game,

128
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: and there's times where hey, it's not blocked up, correct,

129
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: he just batter.

130
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,359
Speaker 3: It wears on the defensive line as the game goes on.

131
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 3: Now you know, I love, but he's more finessed in

132
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 3: power when you when you hit that power. Because you

133
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 3: gotta realize we talking about the race. We talked about

134
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: a team who labeled himself our physicality. So at the

135
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: end of the day, we go into that physical game

136
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: not having our physical batting ram and I think it

137
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: kind of set us back when it came to the offense.

138
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: And that's why I say as a whole, you get

139
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 4: the offense collectively, because you know, I'm gonna talk a

140
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 4: little bit about you know, Cliff, you saw a couple

141
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: of those series.

142
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: Man, where they had our number.

143
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 4: I mean, right, we can do you know, and a

144
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 4: couple of times I believe if especially earlier in the game,

145
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 4: if Jayden let.

146
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 3: Ekler has it, he hits him. Yeah, I mean there

147
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: was one way.

148
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 4: And then those guys are sitting right there wait for him.

149
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: So you know, they came into the game saying, you're

150
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 4: not going to be with some.

151
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: Of the store. We'll let the backs do it.

152
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 4: This guys can have it, but you're not gonna beat us.

153
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 4: So with that being said, Cliffs still found the way.

154
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 4: I remember I had been sending for weeks that slip

155
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: screen goal coming all coy coming. Well, I never knew

156
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: that you can send two guys on the same side.

157
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: You and then you know Terry behind him. That's you know,

158
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,360

00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 4: get it's like they kind of cling to us, Like

206
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: you could say that, you know, it's one thing of

207
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: us being able to relate to the guys that's still playing.

208
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: They relate to us and we just got out the game,

209
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So I've always got a

210
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: kick out of just being around especially guys like Gary

211
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: Clark or you know, D Green or you name it,

212
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,000

00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 4: you about the team and about some of the things

218
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 4: that went on. Uh, my question about this alone, now

219
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: we can do you guys remember the first I guess

220
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 4: you could say alumni when you got here on this team,

221
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: who kind of kind of lend a hand, like he

222
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 4: basically reached out to you and kind of gave you

223
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 4: some some insight on the game or.

224
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 3: Just something about the history of That's crazy you asked

225
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: that question, because it's about the man of the hour.

226
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: Is D Green? Like when I walked into the locker room,

227
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 3: they were like D Green, this friend smooth Fred smooth,

228
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: this D Green? De Green? You watch him.

229
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: I'm not about you put that on.

230
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: You're not gonna what is the siment? So what was

231
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: he doing? He didn't mention that De Green didn't want

232
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: to watch him. I won't say, you know, somebody kid

233
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: off at your house and my kids know this what

234
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 3: it was, and I can say this man, Darren was

235
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 3: very open, very honest to me, and he also put

236
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: something inside me when it was because I was already

237
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: gonna be a community dude, but he let me know

238
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 3: how serious it will. He was like, your play it's

239
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: gonna make you remember through football, but what you do

240
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: in this community gonna make you remember forever. And that

241
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 3: stuck with me from the time I got here to then.

242
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: And he was just always I could always just ask

243
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: him questions. I remember Champ was watching me watch him

244
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: on Dead Green one day and he was like, I'm sorry,

245
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: but you can't there Green And I was like, what

246
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: you mean. He was like, don't study him because he

247
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 3: is the only person that can do those things. And

248
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: I had an old locker room. You gotta realized I

249
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 3: had Bruce Schmilt, I had so many old dudes. We

250
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: would call the old folks Homer Ashburn. At day, I

251
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: was the youngest person on the team. But man, just

252
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 3: anything I needed, he was always there. You know, I

253
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 3: was as you asked were asking that question.

254
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: I started thinking about some of the alumni that I

255
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: first met when I when I got here in O seven.

256
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: One guy who me, being a middle linebacker, I got

257
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,199
Speaker 1: to talk to every week. It's Sam Huff, Sam Hall

258
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: of Fame, Hall of Fame linebacker, the late Sam Huff.

259
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: And when I found out he was doing, he was

260
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: calling the games.

261
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: He was the radio.

262
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: Analyst with the job that I do now him and

263
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: him and Sunny jer Jerkison. So for me being able

264
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: to talk to Sam Huff, I mean, this is it's

265
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: like I'm a football historical, especially when it comes to

266
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: the middle linebackers.

267
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: So, man, I'm.

268
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,480

396
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: were playing above our head on defense, like we're just

402
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 3: gonna do it. And we let that game get away

403
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 3: from us. Man, we had that game.

404
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: I remember they were throwing that damn football to Uh.

405
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: We played a lot of cover to body was still

406
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: playing there right Ingham. He was still there, Thank you, Alexander.

407
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: He was running back. I remember that we were playing

408
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: a lot of cover too, and obviously our Sam single

409
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: it's his favorite bliss.

410
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 3: They were throwing it. Man.

411
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: They were having a lot of perimeter type plays and

412
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to get in on a lot of tacks.

413
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: So I was pissed. I don't think I have about because.

414
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 3: You would get right down, man. Oh.

415
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: I was hot as fish great.

416
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: So I finally got a hold of shan Hime Alexander

417
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: one time.

418
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: It was I tried to well, I did give me

419
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: a good old hit off helsel back. I thought I

420
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: had took him out the game. Yeah, I thought I

421
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 3: had single handedly won that game for us. I think.

422
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 4: Now we didn't win the game, but I remember offensively,

423
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 4: or rather, Todd Collins was willing to deal and we

424
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 4: got I talked about us coming there with momentum.

425
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: Todd was on fire. Chief.

426
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 4: I loved it, especially just being a receiver, knowing that

427
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 4: one of the things people finally realize is that you

428
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 4: as a receiver, Fred bringers up all the time. You know,

429
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: you as good as your quarterback, or you as good

430
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 4: as the play call.

431
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: At whatever.

432
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: You at the mercy of their hands. You know, if

433
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 4: the guy gonna throw you the ball find you, you know,

434
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 4: if he give you the opportunity, then great. If you don't,

435
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 4: then you out there just running around and Todd would

436
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 4: find me. I mean, I actually scored that game, and

437
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 4: I remember, like we said, we talked about Sean leaving

438
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 4: us that year. It's a picture that still to this

439
00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,680

441
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 4: end zone. I'm holding the deuce one up high and

442
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 4: it's just it's beautiful because you know, Seattle was really

443
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 4: it's a beautiful skyline and just the stadium itself.

444
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 3: You see the two to one, And.

445
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: To me that when I see that picture, I get

446
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 4: choked up some times, like damn, because I remember when

447
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 4: my head was that, Yeah, you know, I was gone, right,

448
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 4: let me.

449
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 2: Ask you all this and I felt like this.

450
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 1: So after Sean passes, Yeah, we go to his funeral

451
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: on that Monday, we played the Buffalo. We played No

452
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 1: he passed on a Monday or Tuesday. Monday, played Buffalo

453
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: that Sunday, to his funeral that Monday, yea. Then we

454
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: played it. We played chicagourday night. Yeah, we beat Chicago,

455
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: going to four game winning streak. Did you all feel like,

456
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: so we go, we win, we win, Uh make the

457
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: playoffs and then we go to Seattle on a Saturday?

458
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: Like everything was did y'all feel like, man, you was

459
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: playing off of emotions?

460
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: It was so it was hot?

461
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, high.

462
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: Then just getting into that game was like, man, do

463
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: we if we play on Sunday?

464
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: Do we finished? Do we close that game?

465
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: I just felt like it was just on such a

466
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: high emotional I.

467
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 3: Just think I think the perfect approach to me was

468
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 3: to get us out there early because we we was

469
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: on such a high and it wasn't a sugar high,

470
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 3: it's it maintain. Yeah, And I just think if we

471
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,199
Speaker 3: would have got out there, we'd have been more established,

472
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 3: more single focus. We were focused, like worried about our

473
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 3: focus at the time. It was our football Like. That

474
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: was one of the few times I've seen everybody. Yeah

475
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 3: we were lockball emotions. Yeah we was emotionally driven, but

476
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 3: it was good emotions. We ain't finnah cheat each other,

477
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 3: that's what we did.

478
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: That was the one time too that you can say

479
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: our team looked like a team. You know, it brought

480
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 4: us together because I guess every man had a gut

481
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: check of how how short, like what can you do?

482
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: Man?

483
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 4: I mean like or not even that, just this life

484
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 4: because I know myself personally, you know, you speed like

485
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 4: when we played this game, folks for the realize because

486
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 4: now I look back at it, because I'm watching all

487
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 4: the guys who are not able to kind of land

488
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 4: on their feet when this thing is over, and it

489
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 4: bothers me a little bit because I'm like, man, we're fortunate.

490
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 4: One of the things about us, you know, one of

491
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 4: the things you don't have to necessarily have this out

492
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 4: standing job after football, especially if that's football being your life.

493
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 4: Go some football, Go go go give your time to

494
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 4: high school, your time to the little league if all

495
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 4: you know is football. But it's great to be able

496
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 4: to say you landed and have something that you can

497
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 4: just keep you busy, because that's what we need more

498
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,719
Speaker 4: than anything. You keep your mind from just wondering wondering.

499
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 4: And that's what to me. You know, when you say

500
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: we play ball, it's like you get that short time

501
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 4: off when you back. So I was speeding through life

502
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 4: like life ain't started lifing me into football.

503
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 3: I was over with.

504
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm sitting there like, what did I do when

505
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 4: these bills or this came up with somebody else calling

506
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 4: me the bill?

507
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 3: What was I doing? Somebody?

508
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 1: We were so focused on what we were Yeah, man,

509
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: somebody was running interference and ye didn't get them damn calls.

510
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 2: We get those calls and stuff like that.

511
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 4: So, yeah, that's what I appreciated more. And I think

512
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 4: I kind of, you know, buckled down a little bit

513
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 4: more about myself, you know.

514
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: And that first coach gil was was the perfect coach

515
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: to have it. I don't know how many coaches could

516
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: uh could coach us through that, you know what I'm saying, Like,

517
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 3: I think he was the perfect guy. Coach Gils was

518
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 3: the perfect coach. That was.

519
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: I just I just remember, like man, just the emotions

520
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: that we were dealing with and going out there. And

521
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: I think you reminded me that we were talking about

522
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: this maybe last year.

523
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: I forgot that we had to lead in the fourth

524
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 2: quarter of that game.

525
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: No, didn't watch the game like it's just like hours.

526
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: It was our.

527
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,199
Speaker 4: Actually threw a pick down the sideline, right, I was

528
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 4: the guy who they was throwing to. I remember, and

529
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: the ball got lost in the lights, and I'm like,

530
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: this is what we talk about all the time, knowing

531
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 4: the guy, knowing the receiver, me and Todd on the

532
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,360
Speaker 4: same page. He just threw a goal, but the guy

533
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,160
Speaker 4: was thirty yards deep on me already. So I'm saying

534
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 4: to myself, just throw it at me. And so I

535
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: was running not as fast as I would want you,

536
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 4: because I'm like, I can't run this guy down and

537
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: didn't leave him. It's gonna be one of them. If

538
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: you throw it deep, You're both not gonna get it.

539
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna give you a chance to throw it

540
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 4: to me by running on and down at a different

541
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 4: pace where you can get depending on my back shoulder.

542
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 3: And I remember he swung that thing and I was

543
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: looking up for it. I'm still looking, and I hear

544
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 3: them hate the crowd room.

545
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, the corner back at the ball running towards me,

546
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: and I'm like, damn, you know what I'm saying. So

547
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 4: that's what I remember the most too, you know about

548
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: that game, Just knowing that, I think that's when it slipped.

549
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: That's when it kind of got away from us.

550
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: I want to I want to go back, ask y'all kind,

551
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: especially you and maybe even you smooth as well. For

552
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 1: me come in here and playing for the Burget didn't

553
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: go playing for the Redskins at that time, and Tanner,

554
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: you got traded here.

555
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: I was a free agent.

556
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: I knew the history that this organiization, half the legacy players,

557
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: and having been a three time Super Bowl champion and

558
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: all that playing for the legendary coach Joe Gibbs. I

559
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: felt a great sense of pride, like man, me as

560
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: a free agent, Like, I'm not gonna come here and

561
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 1: be a bust.

562
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 2: You ain't gonna be.

563
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: It ain't what's your name?

564
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: My name, ain't gonna be one of those long line

565
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: of free agent busts that that comes.

566
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 3: Like.

567
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: I felt a great deal responsibility and just with this

568
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: being alumni weekend, it's maybe just think like like I

569
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: took pride in like representing the guys played before me.

570
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: Like man, y'all, when y'all see they talking about the

571
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: sign of the me, I'm gonna be one of them. Dudes,

572
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: Tell how did you feel? Have you got trade?

573
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: I had a chip.

574
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 4: I didn't necessarily have a chip from being traded. I

575
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: thought that was the best thing in my life that

576
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 4: was the best day that you know, far as football

577
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 4: wise professionally. Yeah, Like I told you how I felt

578
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 4: about New York. You know, I actually grew up there,

579
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: like playing four years there, man, I became a man.

580
00:25:59,240 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

581
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 4: So when it was all said and done, when I left,

582
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 4: I knew I did my all, my best, and I

583
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 4: knew the fans appreciated.

584
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: So that's what I was.

585
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: I was happy to say I'm leaving here as a success,

586
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 4: coming in as a first round pick, because they basically

587
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 4: telling me we just don't want to pay you to

588
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 4: next year.

589
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: But my age, like, you.

590
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 4: Know, you exceeded that contract. Now this time is up.

591
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 4: You pay us now. Oh, we're gonna go get the money.

592
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 4: So when I left, I left knowing like I did

593
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 4: my job to get paid, but I had a chip

594
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 4: for the simple fact that when I got here, a

595
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 4: couple of media folks didn't receive me as the person

596
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: I was coming in there. Like I told you, a

597
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 4: lady I forgot her name, I'm gonna bring it up,

598
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 4: but it's no no offense to her. She was doing

599
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 4: doing her job, but she didn't even know she stirred

600
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 4: something in my pot, you know what I mean. She

601
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 4: came in and said, so, how does it feel like

602
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 4: to be wanted? And I'm like what, I'm like, I

603
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 4: want to say something else that being me respectful.

604
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I don't think I wasn't want.

605
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: They just paid me to come here, you know, as

606
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 4: a top receiver, so I'm definitely wanting. She's like, well,

607
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, you know you was a

608
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 4: first round draft pick. I say, well, you're trying to

609
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: get me out my damn character. But I said, look here, man,

610
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: I'm happy. I say, you know, the grassat isn't always greener,

611
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: but I think for my case, this is a team

612
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 4: that wanted me. This is a team that feels like

613
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 4: they can use me the way I want to be used,

614
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 4: and I think this guy's the limit and took off

615
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 4: that season.

616
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: It was it was like, man, it.

617
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 4: Was like it was like a highlight every week for me,

618
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like that that if you

619
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 4: turn that two thousand and five season on, it wasn't

620
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 4: a week that eighty nine wasn't making, you know, an impact.

621
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 4: So I look back at it like, see, that's all

622
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 4: she had to do. But she didn't even have to

623
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 4: do that.

624
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 2: Like she asked the question differently because I feel.

625
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: I'm not even gonna put all that on her. I

626
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,760

Speaker 3: guys we could have put up there.

725
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,840

726
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, it was our players, players club, not the

728
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:06,080

729
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,240

733
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: He spent twenty years in this franchise, So you got

734
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: to put him on there. Now, my fourth guy, That's

735
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,920

00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: put a hog on there, you're gonna have to go

737

00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: you think of you.

756
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,520

Speaker 3: long story, right. It's like I remember my first day

827
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: when they drafted me. The first thing I did was

828
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 3: look at the depth chart. I think all of us

829
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 3: do that, and I was like, damn Green, the understand

830
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 3: that's Champ Bailey. Am I playing tighty end if I'm watching, like,

831
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 3: what am I playing? So I remember when I first

832
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 3: walked in and me and Daryl sat down and talk.

833
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 3: I told you about how they kind of introduced this

834
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 3: and and Daryl was talking and he was like, I

835
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 3: like your game. And he was like, you know, we're

836
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: gonna have we have this little contest. We used to

837
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 3: have all the time. It was the fastest Washington player contest.

838
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 3: See you want to always talk about speed. So we

839
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: get to the race, right, we ain't we it's dominicator,

840
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 3: It's just amnicaire. We get to the race. The last

841
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 3: three races after everybody eliminated me, Champ Bailey.

842
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 2: And Darryl Green.

843
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 3: Darren hadn't ran. He hadn't ran yet cause they said

844
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 3: that you could just run the last one, right. I

845
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 3: was like, Champ, you.

846
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 2: Had you won any races or did you had already won?

847
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 3: My way to that everybody I know, everybody on the team.

848
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 3: I raced the channel up. But anyway, so now it's

849
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 3: the last three race and it's me champing degree and

850
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 3: I was like, Champ, we can't let we can't lift

851
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: forty year o. D Green beat us. She was like, hey,

852
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 3: he ain't no regular Fordio. So we strike out and

853
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,319
Speaker 3: of course I'm looking at the back of these two

854
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: gods were running. I'm like this dude, like when I

855
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 3: say fast, it was unbelievable how fast he was and

856
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 3: it was effortless. He wasn't he wasn't struggling. So I

857
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 3: take a knee after the race, and I'm like, did

858
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: I just lose to a forty year old man? But did?

859
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 3: Like Chill said, that ain't no average for that, So

860
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 3: he was a wonder. He was a blur. And then

861
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 3: get what I do did after I go back and

862
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 3: watch him race hrs Walker? Yeah, and I said, you

863
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 3: know what, I earned that butt kicking. I earned that boocket.

864
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 3: So just amazing person, but an athlete. I have never

865
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 3: seen an athlete with that type of longevity Like long

866
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 3: Gip nineteen consecutive years with an interception? Fleish, Did you

867
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 3: have any year you didn't have an interception? Yeah? I

868
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 3: know you did.

869
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 2: I know you did, but I have more sticks.

870
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 3: You agree, say, got hold on?

871
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,800

872
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been in that topic.

873
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 3: I wouldn't been. He had already lost one total told

874
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 3: he was already he said, you know here.

875
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 4: Time, Oh my god, I was going to tell Fred,

876
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 4: being a guy, that he always researching something. That's one

877
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 4: one day that he dropped the ball with research because

878
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 4: I wouldn't gotten that race not knowing that they are

879
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 4: Greening the fast man in the world.

880
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 3: I knew he was, but you got to realize and

881
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 3: I hated with it because he over the cock right,

882
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,040

884
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 3: four to at this time. Like that's what I underestimated him.

885
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: You didn't even have to tell me the story. I

886
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:13,920

Speaker 4: have no big story about saying I played with him, Yeah,

897
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 4: played against.

898
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: Him all I remember growing up.

899
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 4: You know, you talked about how you've been a big

900
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 4: historian about the you know, the game, just knowing linebackers,

901
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 4: knowing about the game.

902
00:41:58,040 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 3: I was just a player watcher, you know what I mean.

903
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 4: Like I would watch players on teams that had an impact,

904
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 4: and it just you know, caught my eye. Dion, Daryl

905
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 4: Green and Rod Woods with three corners.

906
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 3: That I wanted to be.

907
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 4: I grew up starting my early childhood, I played corner

908
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 4: and receiver.

909
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 3: So those three guys always stood out, you know what

910
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 3: I mean.

911
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 4: As I get older, you get the Charles Woodson's everybody

912
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 4: else they kind of changed, the Champ Bailey's, you name it.

913
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,439
Speaker 4: But the thing, man, when I got into the league

914
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 4: in two thousand and one, Dark Green was still over here,

915
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 4: and I'm like, hell playing I was in pamples when

916
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 4: he was playing, you know.

917
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 3: So that's what stood out to me the most.

918
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 4: And I think not only that, when I go back

919
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,919
Speaker 4: and kind of like pay attention to what he did,

920
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 4: how long he did it, you know, when he was

921
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 4: when that last year that I remember watching him, he

922
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 4: still was out there making plays.

923
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, that's you know, that's enough.

924
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 4: You know, credit right there for itself, because you understand

925
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 4: how this game goes, man, And when you get up

926
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 4: in those years, it's hard to be that guy you

927
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,479
Speaker 4: once was. And I remember that's one of the things

928
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 4: that I kind of kind of you know, had a

929
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 4: bop in my my, you know, and my walk about

930
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: when I was leaving out cause I'm like, man, I'm

931
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 4: still out here, you know, embarrassing.

932
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 3: People kids at my age.

933
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 4: So if I can still go out there and make

934
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 4: you Mama mad at me, then I'm doing my job.

935
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,720
Speaker 4: So I know Darrek green is one of those guys,

936
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 4: and that's it's crazy. When I got here and over

937
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: the time he connected with me, and to this day

938
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 4: I see some places he always says, telling I'm passing

939
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 4: you the torch. You guy, You're the guy in the

940
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 4: community now that.

941
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 3: People look at like how they looked at me.

942
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm will tell you a really quick Daryl Greene story

943
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: about how he is as a man.

944
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: So this was twenty thirteen, I believe twenty thirteen.

945
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: Season, and this is a season where we're struggling a

946
00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: little bit, and they were asked it was like the

947
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: Meetia was talking about his RG three R leader of

948
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: something and such and such, and I've made the comment

949
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: like he's not the leader, Like I'm a leader.

950
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so Daryl Green, he you know, said well, London,

951
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 2: you know he can't.

952
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 3: Be the leader.

953
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 1: He didn't say this to me, he said it on

954
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: the on the radio, and I kind of took it

955
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 1: the wrong way, and so you know, Darryl word got

956
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: big got back to Daryl that I wasn't happy with

957
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: what he said and came to tell you how he is.

958
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: He called me, He's like London, you know what. Man,

959
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 1: and we had we had a relationship before then. We

960
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,239
Speaker 1: talked know each other a little bit like, man, we're

961
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: about to sit and talk, were about to have a conversation,

962
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: really get to know each other. Yeah, and we cleared

963
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: the air of some like miscommunication like I was disappointed

964
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: to like.

965
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 3: Here a look just like damn, I wasn't.

966
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 2: I was trying to take the pressure.

967
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 3: The young guy.

968
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: But he's like, you known you too old to be

969
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: the guy, you know. So it was just a little

970
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 1: bit like all right. So but me and him, we said,

971
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: we talked for probably about an hour and a half

972
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: just I mean, yeah, man, man and I left that

973
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: comments like we were in a better place and not

974
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: not like we were beef and beefing. But it was

975
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: just like two because I had a tremendous somebody.

976
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 3: Of respect for him, Like damn, damn. You know.

977
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a young guy man, but just a tremendous

978
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame player, even better person, even better person,

979
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: even better person. As I mentioned, Jersey should have been retired.

980
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 1: But that's not that's neither here nor there. I can't

981
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: really wait to celebrate him.

982
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 3: Crazy that I shared a huddle with him. I just

983
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 3: remember him coming out the huddle and he would be

984
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 3: teaching me, we'll come.

985
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 2: Don't put that on him.

986
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 3: He'll be like, hey, watch out, they try to hit

987
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 3: him with a double post. It's third and five. They

988
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 3: coming outside, They ain't gonna come inside. Like just stuff.

989
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: That really made it easy for my transition.

990
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: And you did okay, he did help because you got

991
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 1: paid by Minnesota and then once you got out on

992
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: your own, once you're here, once you left there, that's

993
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: the difference.

994
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: But when I got here, he made it easy for

995
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 3: me so fast.

996
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's let's preview this game though against

997
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:10,959
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. It's time to set the tone. Brought

998
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: to you by Johnson Kendall. Johnson, the official insurance broker

999
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: and risk management partner of the Washington Commanders, where our

1000
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 1: passion is your protection. Struggling as Yeah, still a pro

1001
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: football team. We lost the game gets to Baltimore Raves.

1002
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: We got to get back on the winning track, winning ways.

1003
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,920
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff going into the game. On paper,

1004
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: I think we're favorite. I think we're favored by seven

1005
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: eight points.

1006
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 3: Whatever.

1007
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: Will will pay a whole lot of attention to that.

1008
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 3: Fair love Vegas handled it. Guys.

1009
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 8: This Panthers team, they can run the ball. Yep, they say,

1010
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 8: Dojers team up Hubbard. Yeah, third of the National Football

1011
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 8: League running the football. We got with down some defensive linemen.

1012
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 3: And they offensive line strength and they have a very

1013
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 3: good offensive line. They got they get out there wide receiver,

1014
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 3: they got a tight end Johnson, they got tight end

1015
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: and Sanders that can get up the scene. And let's

1016
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 3: be honest, Andy Dalton has kind of revived this team season.

1017
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 3: So he is a veteran quarterback like Joe Flacco, he

1018
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 3: ain't gonna beat himself. You're gonna have to force him

1019
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 3: into mistakes. And one thing that I think with this

1020
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 3: paramount that we do and if we don't do it,

1021
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,879
Speaker 3: we could be setting ourselves up full trap. We have

1022
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 3: to start fast. If we allow these guys to stay

1023
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 3: in this game, they gonna the more momentum they bill,

1024
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 3: the more they think they're gonna have a chance. They

1025
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 3: got some defensive player, jac Horn. They got some guys

1026
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 3: over there that can get after you on that defensive

1027
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 3: side of the ball. We gotta start early and often

1028
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 3: with this team.

1029
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's only a trap, man, when you

1030
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 4: allowed it allow it to be a trap. You know.

1031
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 4: One of the things that I'm hoping that's going for us,

1032
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 4: that I've been seeing so far in these first six

1033
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 4: weeks of the season, is this team.

1034
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:54,479
Speaker 3: Is well coached. Well coach.

1035
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,439
Speaker 4: You have a player at almost every position that played

1036
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 4: at a high level in this league, and they under

1037
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 4: stand just like we understand as players to this day

1038
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 4: and guys who no longer plan that that's the only

1039
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 4: way you allow a team that don't supposed to beat

1040
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 4: you beat you. It's by listening to the noise, listening

1041
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 4: to the noise about what they can do, and they

1042
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 4: come in here hurt.

1043
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: You know, we just lost.

1044
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 4: I think you're probably one of the better things that

1045
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 4: happened to us earlier than these first six weeks, because

1046
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 4: we was on the high sometime you need to be

1047
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 4: brought backack, do you need that gut check to kind

1048
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 4: of know who you are and know how much more

1049
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 4: better you need to be. We understood that, you know,

1050
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 4: that might have been one of the better teams that

1051
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 4: we faced this year. You know what I mean them

1052
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 4: in Tampa if we had to ask me. But I

1053
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 4: do believe that, Yes, Caroline is gonna come in here

1054
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 4: feeling like they feel.

1055
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 3: I believe they wanted five.

1056
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 4: But at the same time they want to be that

1057
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 4: throwing in our backside and they say we're going to

1058
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 4: be the team that kind of right or take that audience. Coaches,

1059
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 4: this staff is not going to allow this team to,

1060
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 4: you know, sit here and be less than who they are.

1061
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: I definitely believe these guys are going to go out

1062
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 4: there with a chip every day this weekend, go out

1063
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 4: there and play the kind of again.

1064
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: And that's the thing that I look at mostly when

1065
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 1: you think about first to first, first and foremost d

1066
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 1: Q dan Quinn, I don't feel like he would ever

1067
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:17,279
Speaker 1: have his team playing up and down like against the

1068
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: competition that's supposed to be lesser than or up when

1069
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 1: the opponent's supposed to be better, like if you look

1070
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: at this team, they talk about competing all the time,

1071
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: competing at a high level just to accountability.

1072
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 2: I know I watched a little bit of practice earlier today.

1073
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 2: I know that just watching practice, those guys.

1074
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: That have out there having a great practice.

1075
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 2: Ready to play.

1076
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: So I'm not worried about them not being ready to

1077
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: win a game mentally gain But to your point, Fred,

1078
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: don't let don't find yourself in a.

1079
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 3: Dog fire the team.

1080
00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, you got it. I will say this.

1081
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: Defensively, there was enough things we did wrong against the

1082
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens to where like we got to come in

1083
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: here and making sure we're on top of our game,

1084
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: have to run a lot better.

1085
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 3: Line.

1086
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, with those lost in the defensive line, Carolina pass

1087
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: is one thing they can do.

1088
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 2: They can they know how to run.

1089
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,919
Speaker 1: They're probably be even more committed to running the ball

1090
00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: this week, and they got some guys who can make

1091
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,400
Speaker 1: some plays in the passing game. We got to be

1092
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,279
Speaker 1: We had a couple of miscommunications on the back end,

00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 4: I took pride in when I came into the league.

1183
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 4: I was coached by Butch Davis and he was a

1184
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 4: former you know NFL coach play you know, coach for

1185
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 4: the Cowboys. What were some of the things that you

1186
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 4: learned from Lovey that help you with your game today?

1187
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 4: Because I'm you know, you look like a guy that

1188
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 4: especially coming in the way you got in here and

1189
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 4: like as soon as you hit the field was ready,

1190
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So what are some of

1191
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 4: the things he taught you early? And you know, your

1192
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 4: career in college that got you ready.

1193
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 9: Just small things like teaching us how to watch film.

1194
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 7: Uh.

1195
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 9: I feel like that was the biggest thing coming in

1196
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,879
Speaker 9: as a freshman. You know in high school. You just yeah,

1197
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 9: you don't know everybody. We didn't watch him in high school,

1198
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 9: so you probably know what that means. Just learning how

1199
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 9: to watch him, like how to break it down by

1200
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 9: personnel each player. Like, I feel like that was my

1201
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 9: biggest thing because I'm a big student of the game.

1202
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 9: So even like pre snot recognition, like I learned that

1203
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 9: from Lovey. Uh, just small things like uh Like he

1204
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,840
Speaker 9: always helped me be starting the run game and in

1205
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 9: the past game he helped me. I got a past

1206
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,680

Speaker 9: I took off.

1208
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,120
