Speaker 1: On today's episode of The Command Center Podcast, we recap that
Speaker 1: Dolphins game. Not the most exciting thing, but some things,
Speaker 1: some positive things to take away when you when you
Speaker 1: sift through it all, it's under there somewhere. Do we
Speaker 1: also get to We talked about what we want to
Speaker 1: see moving forward. We talked about Ron that your leaders
Speaker 1: talk about, Terry Yes, and our guys, Santana is a
Speaker 1: little salty with herm Edwards.
Speaker 2: We're going to win the game.
Speaker 1: Make sure you check it out.
Speaker 3: I don't even think it was I was salting.
Speaker 4: It's just say I'm like, I was not even thinking
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Command Center Podcast. I'm Logan Paulson here
Speaker 1: with Fred Smoot and Santana Moss and we got an update.
Speaker 2: You need to put some respect on my name.
Speaker 1: We got an update. That hawk out side, that hawk
Speaker 1: outside there's an update.
Speaker 2: Is it from Canada?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah yeah, get tell tell the people what's
Speaker 1: up because like our producer Jason did some research. Ye yes,
Speaker 1: let's pray it.
Speaker 5: It's the wind from Canada coming down and it's called
Speaker 5: the Hawkins win and that's why they say the hawk
Speaker 5: is out there, so we got to the.
Speaker 1: Bottom of this and so. But but the thing that
Speaker 1: was saying is like, so it makes sense that people
Speaker 1: from Chicago said, right, white people from.
Speaker 5: The South, because I'm from Mississippi and Chicago and Mississippi
Speaker 5: I brother in sister states. So that means we have
Speaker 5: a lot of ken in those two states from them
Speaker 5: migrating from the South and forth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really interesting. I think they wouldn't know that, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean someone's educated. The migrating thing is interesting. I
Speaker 1: didn't know that.
Speaker 5: See, you one of the type guys that think spiders
Speaker 5: got muscles in their legs and they don't like they
Speaker 5: don't they don't they know they only use their legs
Speaker 5: through hydraulics in blood pressure. They have no muscles. I
Speaker 5: really like that's why when you kill a spider, their
Speaker 5: legs curl up because they're blood because they have no muscle.
Speaker 5: It's only through blood vessels.
Speaker 3: Man, I ain't worrying about we need to stay away
Speaker 3: from cheating.
Speaker 1: Actually, I just like that he knew that. I don't
Speaker 1: even know if that's true. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: true true. I don't know if it's true, But I
Speaker 1: like that you. I like the hypothesis. I like the
Speaker 1: that that is a thing only.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this.
Speaker 5: Why you think if you kill a spider, why do
Speaker 5: the legs curl up?
Speaker 1: Well, I know people go riga mortis right, because there's
Speaker 1: no blood. They go ste Yeah, they go stiff because
Speaker 1: they got muscles. So I thought it was like a
Speaker 1: similar action between they have no muscles.
Speaker 5: That's why it draws up because the blood pressure dies
Speaker 5: after they die. So once the blood pressure is going,
Speaker 5: the legs curl up because they actually move by hot drop.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if they only curl up when they're
Speaker 1: like kind of scrushed, because then the pressure in the
Speaker 1: body decreases, because if you see just a dead spider,
Speaker 1: they'll look dead.
Speaker 2: Not really, you've never really seen the dad spider.
Speaker 1: Just check at the end of the day.
Speaker 5: No, that's why they always curl up and they are
Speaker 5: fully functional through blood pressure.
Speaker 1: Jason, do you have do you have thirty seconds? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna read the read Can you just get on your

Speaker 1: You got the spiders Jason, yeah, okay, Texas Woy would
Speaker 1: like y'all dudes A So I mean you, that's the thing, man,
Speaker 1: You know enough to be dangerous. Right. You can say
Speaker 1: something at a cop shop party and I'm like, that's that,
Speaker 1: and I look it up and it's true. And then
Speaker 1: other times you'll say something Jason, oh no, fant thor Okay,
Speaker 1: we just had almost a catastrophe. Jason saved it though,
Speaker 1: good job. But and then there's other times you say
Speaker 1: something I'm like, no way, is that true? And then
Speaker 1: I'm right, Usually, well, well guess what this is true?
Speaker 1: This is true.
Speaker 5: Everybody didn't know a repto folk anything with spiders.
Speaker 3: Instead of like.
Speaker 1: That it ractophobia. There are muscles inside the exoskeleton that
Speaker 1: pull and flex the legs and bed them inward. What
Speaker 1: the hell? Fred? All right? You know what?
Speaker 5: This is what I've noticed about you? There are information
Speaker 5: he only looks it up.
Speaker 1: There are no exterior muscles because they have an exoskeleton,
Speaker 1: meaning that they're skeletons outside of their muscles. Yes, but
Speaker 1: there has to be some type of action, some type
Speaker 1: of le let.
Speaker 3: Me look at look at my fun facts. We're gonna
Speaker 3: talk about this skeleton.
Speaker 1: Wh which means there are no muscular right, what did
Speaker 1: they say? Spiders do not have muscles in their legs.
Speaker 1: They extend them using a system of hydraulics powered by
Speaker 1: blood pressure. Uh, this is a this is on Instagram.
Speaker 3: This from that's from a fact.
Speaker 1: This This is this is from Wall Street Journal, the
Speaker 1: one that.
Speaker 5: We listened to Wall Street they did, they didn't hand.
Speaker 2: Us in a couple of depressions we couldn't get out.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably a little bit of both. All right,
Speaker 1: exoskeletons not exo skeletons, muscles hydraulics.
Speaker 3: By the way, you see how quick he found that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Yeah, this morning he was like, on the way, you know,
Speaker 5: I have my like I followed like most of my
Speaker 5: Instagram stuff is I'm following like science and facts, facts
Speaker 5: of stuff.
Speaker 3: Why are you coming here with all that stuff?
Speaker 5: I love knowledge, like you shouldn't love knowledge. And if
Speaker 5: you got a couple of Joseph and make it feels
Speaker 5: that much better?
Speaker 1: All right? Well, so to promote knowledge. We got to
Speaker 1: recap this Dolphins game, and dolphins, what did you learn
Speaker 1: from These dolphins do have muscles, They do not have exoskeletons.
Speaker 1: They are mammals. Fun facts, all right there? They do
Speaker 1: have milk. Yeah, that's would make of mammals, I know.
Speaker 1: But that's a weird thing to think about, though. Dolphins
Speaker 1: milk milk. It's in the salt water.
Speaker 2: Human beings that drinks another animals.
Speaker 1: Milks macros bro all right, all right, so let's talk
Speaker 1: about it high level thoughts. Who wants to start high level?
Speaker 3: What can I say that ain't already be seen?
Speaker 2: They all what we thought they were.
Speaker 5: Listen, the first thing all us agreed on was we
Speaker 5: cannot let these dude get the big splash play and
Speaker 5: they started off the game with splash plade after splash play.
Speaker 5: You're not stopping the Dolphins that way. We said, make
Speaker 5: them earn it the hard way you brought them up.
Speaker 5: We did kind of hinder them in the running game,
Speaker 5: all right, because the passing you gotta stop it first.
Speaker 5: Make them one dimensional. And we did not make them
Speaker 5: one dimensional. And once they got up, ain't no coming back.
Speaker 5: They used to they front runners they played with the league.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just you know, it's hard to wrap my
Speaker 4: head around how or why we the team that seems
Speaker 4: to allow everybody that we know who can beat us
Speaker 4: beat us. It's always the same guys like it can
Speaker 4: be the tyreege on this team, aj Brown, you know
Speaker 4: on the Eagles, whoever that number one guy is, we
Speaker 4: find a way to put the least likely guy on
Speaker 4: him and so he can go out there and perform
Speaker 4: and have a Fantasy day, you know what I mean,
Speaker 4: the all time Fantasy day. So that bothers me more
Speaker 4: than anything. But you know, overall, if you had to
Speaker 4: give me my my opinion, we fought, We showed that
Speaker 4: we had a little fight, but we just you're never
Speaker 4: gonna be good enough to go out there and compete
Speaker 4: with a team that are able to take.
Speaker 3: Advantage of things that we don't take advantage of. You know,
Speaker 3: we're watching some of them plays with you.
Speaker 4: When you have a young quarterback like Sam, you know,
Speaker 4: and he's growing and he's learning on the job, it's
Speaker 4: hard to you. It's hard to go up against the
Speaker 4: team at the Dolphins who just they they're gonna throw
Speaker 4: it up there and say, guess what stop us. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know at the end of the day, and I
Speaker 4: just feel like we didn't have enough dog in that fight.
Speaker 1: You feel me, Yeah, I think so. First off, I
Speaker 1: totally agree about the explosive plays. I totally agree about
Speaker 1: the offensive and defensive maturity. I will say, when you
Speaker 1: watch y'all twenty two, So I was I played last
Speaker 1: night watching the film.
Speaker 3: That's how you do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I watched watch the defense, watch the offense. Offense
Speaker 1: was a little bit disappointed. We'll talk about that and say, defensively,
Speaker 1: this was maybe the best game they've played in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. And now what I mean by that
Speaker 1: is no, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: with you. But like the linebackers matching concepts, the linebacker's
Speaker 1: playing instinctive, the linebackers reading quarterback size, secondary guys matching
Speaker 1: concepts pretty well, like on the whole. Like if you
Speaker 1: just said, hey, if I just showed you clips, just
Speaker 1: like pulled the cut up and said, hey, these are
Speaker 1: some plays, you'd be like, dang, that's pretty good man.
Speaker 1: They're fitting run. They're fitting runs with six man boxes,
Speaker 1: seven man boxes. They're lighting the run.
Speaker 3: They very good with the run into.
Speaker 1: Because they're in cover two the whole time, they're trying
Speaker 1: to play coverage, and then all of a sudden it's like, well,
Speaker 1: why did they lose forty seven or whatever? The forty
Speaker 1: five to fifteen And then I said, oh wait, here's
Speaker 1: these four plays real quick, thank you. And then it's
Speaker 1: like you're getting exposed to play to Tyreek kill. They
Speaker 1: only played one snap of man the entire game, and
Speaker 1: Peyt d Priyan it was that play. It was a touchdown,
Speaker 1: and according to John Kaime, who was really dialed in
Speaker 1: on stuff, he said, you know, there was an adjustment
Speaker 1: that wasn't made defensively kind of and again that's one
Speaker 1: of those things where you say they did a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff, they improved in a lot of areas, but
Speaker 1: still some of the issues that have plagued this defense
Speaker 1: are still there.
Speaker 3: So hats off the run. He came out head.
Speaker 1: It seems that way he changed.
Speaker 3: He changed a lot of things.
Speaker 4: And then you gotta think about it too. You going
Speaker 4: against a superpower offense pushing it, so so like for
Speaker 4: you to you know, miss against a guy like that
Speaker 4: or against a team like that, it's kind of like
Speaker 4: it was gonna happen and it happened anywhere it would
Speaker 4: happen anyway.
Speaker 2: You can slow him down, you cannot stop.
Speaker 1: And so obviously that first play, the first explosive is
Speaker 1: a is a bust, right because they don't adjust to
Speaker 1: it the right way. You know, I guess Kwan's supposed
Speaker 1: to compress, Cam's supposed to disguise and rotate over late.
Speaker 1: None of that happened.
Speaker 5: But the route with this slot running their fade route
Speaker 5: has bid to go to the route.
Speaker 2: The lay is like five years for every out.
Speaker 1: Well, and we in our breakdown on last on Commandment
Speaker 1: last week, Yeah, what do we show? We show a
Speaker 1: bunch of box fades that they run, so obviously we
Speaker 1: knew that was.
Speaker 4: I was impressed with Saint Juice on the other side.
Speaker 4: He pressed the heck out of walk and I'm saying,
Speaker 4: this is what we've been wanting. And then you get
Speaker 4: a young guy on the Cheetah and you're like.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, hey, I'm gonna tell you it's a coner.
Speaker 5: But look, I wouldn't have stepped up.
Speaker 4: He played it the way that he made me believe
Speaker 4: it was somebody supposed to helping him because he had
Speaker 4: outside and he was like basically saying, Okay, my safety
Speaker 4: gonna be in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And as I'm seeing Hi run, I'm like regis safety
Speaker 4: and I'm like, oh, there you go. But Tyrie j
Speaker 4: once he got the move and but it almost looked
Speaker 4: like Cam was looking at something else. Then Tyreek had
Speaker 4: the ball and he was like, oh, oh shoot, too late,
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so that's obviously really frustrating. Then obviously the
Speaker 1: second is supposed to play. Great adjustment by Tyreek makes
Speaker 1: a tremendous play, tremendous ron. I like the call. They
Speaker 1: bring a simulated pressure, so they bring four a week,
Speaker 1: and that in that setup there should be a free runner.
Speaker 1: They do a good job to back for Miami, does
Speaker 1: a good job getting over and you're really counting on
Speaker 1: the pressure getting home. And obviously they hit the ball
Speaker 1: over the top. Fuller I think is in relatively good position.
Speaker 1: I mean till he wasn't. Until he wasn't. And then
Speaker 1: it's the other question is what's Percy supposed to be doing?
Speaker 1: A guy again, Percy, I'm gonna say this about him, man,
Speaker 1: he flashed a ton of positive plays in this game,
Speaker 1: and so if a guy we're looking and kind of
Speaker 1: monitoring development. It's like he maybe is a microcosm of
Speaker 1: the defense because you're like great tackle, great coverage, great this,
Speaker 1: great that, and then it's like communicating what is happening
Speaker 1: on this one, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: think that's they just thought. The inconsistency defensively is the
Speaker 1: thing that just really sticks out to me.
Speaker 2: We have sixty five plays, it only take four to
Speaker 2: beat you.
Speaker 3: That's right, Like they.
Speaker 2: Go to hold this, this is what makes great defenses.
Speaker 3: Well look at it.
Speaker 5: On the other side, flip side, Miami defense didn't give
Speaker 5: up the big plays. Like you talk about the scramble
Speaker 5: with Sam Hill. Of a scramble, hell of a play
Speaker 5: he made. But when it came to our go to
Speaker 5: guys Terry Zero, Johann Zero, Logan Thomas, where was he
Speaker 5: like at one point when do we say here, go
Speaker 5: to mismatch.
Speaker 3: I'm just going to it all day.
Speaker 1: And I think that's something that I think is really
Speaker 1: interesting too, is that like when you look at the defense,
Speaker 1: the coverage. I thought the coverage was much better this week,
Speaker 1: Ron simplified looked better. The thing that really stood out
Speaker 1: to me defensively with our defense is that our rush
Speaker 1: did not get home in any in any situation. So
Speaker 1: there'll be times when you get to it to pull
Speaker 1: it down.
Speaker 2: To it had a white suit on and it was
Speaker 2: white out.
Speaker 5: The guy, it was white out, but he was flicking
Speaker 5: that thing. He was Yeah, he was like you could
Speaker 5: tell a quarterback that'd been there, done that.
Speaker 2: Like he was letting it go. I'm not putting myself
Speaker 2: at harm's weight. And he was throwing the spot. He
Speaker 2: gets people he throw.
Speaker 4: He throwed to a spot so well, and it's almost
Speaker 4: like me coming back, you know, just thinking back about
Speaker 4: the years playing with Art, you know, Robert and Kurt.
Speaker 4: I remember Kyle telling him he's going to be there,
Speaker 4: get to the spot, get to that spot. I need
Speaker 4: you at that spot.
Speaker 1: It was like watching like a high death version of Yeah.
Speaker 4: I mean, so I'm watching the game like, oh he didn't,
Speaker 4: Oh he did again, Like it was like everything through
Speaker 4: the ball, Oh, you're right there, and it was touch
Speaker 4: and it was almost to the point the way the
Speaker 4: defense is almost perfect, but he just got behind the
Speaker 4: right spot and the ball was in the right place.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think so to kind of finish that
Speaker 1: thought there again to it did a great job, but
Speaker 1: our offense, their coverage did a great job matching concepts.
Speaker 1: And then and then we could watch a couple right
Speaker 1: where Terry's open.
Speaker 3: It's people opening and.
Speaker 1: Then their space. But the rush is getting home. And
Speaker 1: so I think you see, like again you saw with Dallas,
Speaker 1: when that rush is locked in with the coverage, there's
Speaker 1: not a lot you can do, nothing.
Speaker 3: You can do.
Speaker 4: And you know, and I'm gonna put this out there
Speaker 4: because i just feel like it should be said.
Speaker 3: I'm one of those guys you got to give. You
Speaker 3: give a guy like some time, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: This is his first year and playing with the office
Speaker 4: in line that has been you know, probably with him
Speaker 4: the whole season. But it's a guy to here and
Speaker 4: there that's different at times. But I think when when
Speaker 4: you want to because I listen to the junkies this morning,
Speaker 4: and how that go I very you know, seldom see
Speaker 4: they was bashing Sam as if like the man don't
Speaker 4: have a shot, and I'm like, when you're on a bad.
Speaker 3: Team, everything this look everything look bad everybody.
Speaker 4: So you can't really just judge him off of that
Speaker 4: because a few weeks ago he was like, oh.
Speaker 5: This guy could be the president of America.
Speaker 4: And it's the same way they was with Tour. At
Speaker 4: one time before Mike Dave's got that, it was like,
Speaker 4: oh this guy, he's a trash. Oh when Mike got that,
Speaker 4: all Mike gets there, But that office is not gonna
Speaker 4: be the work.
Speaker 2: Because Sam is too short, Like, I mean, that's my dude. Yeah.
Speaker 4: So it just bothers me that as people, we are
Speaker 4: so easy to jump on and off something and not let.
Speaker 3: It just mature or show its true worth.
Speaker 4: So, you know, I hate being the guy that always
Speaker 4: point out Sam bad. But when you're on a bad
Speaker 4: team and you got a young quarterback, how much good
Speaker 4: are you expecting?
Speaker 5: So I'm I'm pleased with what he has accomplished this year.
Speaker 5: But in a microwave society, everybody want it now.
Speaker 1: Everybody what you said, mam was cooking.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it takes time, like, but we're in a microwaves side.
Speaker 5: They want to push the button. They want it done now.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you got to let these people grow and let
Speaker 5: the TV dinner.
Speaker 3: You know, they can't do it like Sam.
Speaker 5: I think his progression is going well, but he only
Speaker 5: a prison of the things he can control and he
Speaker 5: cannot control pass blocking like he had never made control.
Speaker 1: Pass and I think so everyone always like, at least
Speaker 1: in my mind, I compare him to Jailing Hurts all
Speaker 1: the time in terms of a guy that was had
Speaker 1: some ability. Second round pick and Jalen Hurts and then
Speaker 1: looked like there were times where I watched them in Philly,
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's no way this works long, yeah, because
Speaker 1: he couldn't anticipate throws. But the thing that they did
Speaker 1: have there in Philly was an awesome offensive line, so
Speaker 1: it didn't really matter. He had to sit back there
Speaker 1: and he's still he's still hold does in their life.
Speaker 1: And so now, like Sam, I think because of I
Speaker 1: think the offensive line, let's talk about them for one second,
Speaker 1: like this was a rough game for them, okay, And
Speaker 1: I think on the whole is from the season. Can
Speaker 1: I watch every play, do a ton of evaluation on them.
Speaker 1: They they've been fine. They're like a probably middle of
Speaker 1: the pack team, fifteenth sixteenth in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Fine.
Speaker 1: You can win football games with that if your quarterback
Speaker 1: is in a position where they can stay up right
Speaker 1: well and anticipate rows and kind of like you look
Speaker 1: at Tom Brady for example, he played behind some of
Speaker 1: the worst offensive lines in football for a while. But
Speaker 1: you didn't know because he got the ball of his hand.
Speaker 1: Pad Paid Manning the same thing, right, Drew Brees. Right,
Speaker 1: they got the ball out of their hand quick.
Speaker 2: But they got something to come and throwing to the
Speaker 2: running backs.
Speaker 5: Like if you look at Drew Brees, you look at
Speaker 5: Tom Brady, you look at Peyon Manny, they threw. They
Speaker 5: did not hesitate to throw that thing to the left
Speaker 5: and throw that thing to the right before they pushed
Speaker 5: it down the field.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so what I guess what I'm saying is
Speaker 1: that like he has to do stuff that's a little
Speaker 1: bit more advanced earlier in his career. Yeah, because of
Speaker 1: the situation, you've been asked a lot. Yeah, and so
Speaker 1: I think that's something else. And the other thing is,
Speaker 1: I got to point this out. While there were guys open,
Speaker 1: I think Miami got to give them credit. They matched
Speaker 1: stuff really really well.
Speaker 5: First of all, we're talking about Jalen Rams, Yeah, and
Speaker 5: we're talking about Isaya. How Like, we're talking about two
Speaker 5: of the best cons in the league.
Speaker 4: On them, guys are safeties. In the linebacker play was exception.
Speaker 4: Baker was all over the everywhere. I mean, every time
Speaker 4: you saw a guy in a zone or in a lane,
Speaker 4: you saw someone else like, oh I got him, you
Speaker 4: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Oh that's my guy.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: It's like you're watching somebody that's like, man, they just
Speaker 4: knew every move to your to that chess board.
Speaker 1: I mean, they played that cover three match, cover four match,
Speaker 1: And I think that's how we were looking. Honestly, there
Speaker 1: were times watching this year where that's how we were
Speaker 1: looking the second half of last year in terms of
Speaker 1: matching concept.
Speaker 3: We was on one last year in the secondary.
Speaker 4: And that's why I'm so awful watching it this year
Speaker 4: because at one point this year because you're like, one
Speaker 4: guy has been missing from that from that you know,
Speaker 4: that defense last year far as the secondary, Yeah, one
Speaker 4: of two guys, but one guy, you know primarily, and
Speaker 4: we looked this off you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it's you know, it's a communication
Speaker 1: issue potentially and obviously very tough game. But I do
Speaker 1: think there were some positive things. I thought b Rob
Speaker 1: had a b Rob game, played well, ran hard to
Speaker 1: the ham screen. Yeah, and then so hopefully he gets
Speaker 1: right because he's been a bright spot for this offense.
Speaker 1: I think that's going to do it on that game.
Speaker 1: Thank god.
Speaker 2: I have to get them the problem.
Speaker 5: Me and Towner was talking yesterday doing the game, and
Speaker 5: I said in town like, no, they ain't always been
Speaker 5: like that.
Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, those dolphin units.
Speaker 3: Could be the best units in the inn in so
Speaker 3: now because they're whooping behind. But at one point, boy,
Speaker 3: that's thing. But I'm from Miami. We look at me
Speaker 3: but the ocean now.
Speaker 1: But now it's like.
Speaker 4: They have changed the blue a little bit, more of
Speaker 4: a till, you know, awkwards, just till look so that
Speaker 4: and now it looks more like I.
Speaker 1: Like those those Seattle throwback jerseys. I like those two.
Speaker 3: They are great.
Speaker 5: But boy, when when they do that the blue on
Speaker 5: blue with dolphins, ye, they hard to be. Now, I
Speaker 5: would say the Chargers with the baby blues, very hard
Speaker 5: to be, but that dolphins.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: But I was glad.
Speaker 4: I was glad that the Rams went back to their
Speaker 4: original color because that that.
Speaker 3: Dark, dark blue dark. That ain't that was they ain't

Speaker 1: you know, we could, like the best college team could
Speaker 1: beat the worst NFL team.
Speaker 3: I'm like you dude, are you crazy?
Speaker 1: You don't even know that? Like the dude on practice
Speaker 1: squad is an absolute cute. Yeah, dog, I got this.
Speaker 1: I went to a my buddy, my roommate, and when
Speaker 1: I first moved out here, this was like twenty eleven,
Speaker 1: twenty twelve something like that. Yeah, he was in like
Speaker 1: a flag league, you know, and he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want to come out and play? And I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I should play. It only get hurt,
Speaker 1: and he was like, oh, it'd be fun. So I
Speaker 1: kind of went out just to mess around. But I
Speaker 1: started playing and after the game they were like, man,
Speaker 1: like you're so fast, you run such good routes, like
Speaker 1: how does any win? And I'm like, bro, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like the worst route runner in the NFL. And
Speaker 1: so people don't know. It's like it's like they think,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm you know what I'm saying, tell her
Speaker 1: because like they're talking all this about hell loving your
Speaker 1: trash and I was rotten.
Speaker 3: I was routing that face just.
Speaker 5: Like this, Like when you go to the gym, the
Speaker 5: fit and the dude that's on the bench come in
Speaker 5: on the basketball player's go forty on.
Speaker 2: I got oh my god, I.
Speaker 3: Got a real story.
Speaker 4: I'm in I'm in La Fitness, you know, and sometimes
Speaker 4: you're just not noticeable. And now, so I go to
Speaker 4: the one up here, and sometime when i'm you know,
Speaker 4: back in Miami, I go into one in Miami. So
Speaker 4: I'm in Miami and I'm over there and I got
Speaker 4: I do everything dumb ball, especially up a body.
Speaker 3: So I have like eighty pounders.
Speaker 4: And so I'm doing the bench, showing up on the
Speaker 4: bench and I get a guy.
Speaker 3: So as I'm laying back on the bench, I'm like
Speaker 3: going on.
Speaker 4: So, you know me, I let me have been finished
Speaker 4: because I don't want this guy just standing over me.
Speaker 3: So the guy waits, I get finished, and I get up.
Speaker 3: He says, hey, he come spot me over here. So
Speaker 3: I was like, why you come pick me out of
Speaker 3: everybody because you're the strong guy. There's a short he said, man,
Speaker 3: you are you are throwing those man? How old are
Speaker 3: you are?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 3: Like twenty something?
Speaker 4: Hey, bro, I'm probably old enough to be your dad,
Speaker 4: like honestly, And so he said no, I said how
Speaker 4: old are you?
Speaker 3: He said, I'm twenty four. I say, okay, I have
Speaker 3: a son that's twenty two years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, said I have a son.
Speaker 3: He said, no, get out of here.
Speaker 4: So obviously he don't know who I am. Then the
Speaker 4: older guy who saw me.
Speaker 3: Hein't Santana.
Speaker 1: Hey, good to see you back.
Speaker 3: Give me a pounds.
Speaker 2: He was like.
Speaker 4: The young guys like, are you Santana Santana? He said,
Speaker 4: I only know a couple of Sentenna's. It's a Santana
Speaker 4: moss that my dad used to talk about. I was
Speaker 4: like Stan, Dad, and I'm like, bro, like, how.
Speaker 3: You just come pick me? I said, I was.
Speaker 4: He said, I'm new in the gym. I don't know
Speaker 4: how to I said, well, your Jim etiquette is off.
Speaker 4: You don't ever stand over somebody while they got weight
Speaker 4: over him, because I say, bro.
Speaker 3: I ain't know what you had going on moment.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but being they was young, we took a picture
Speaker 4: and I'm like, this dude really just.
Speaker 3: Stood over me to ask me to come spot on.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, first of all, if you can't lift
Speaker 4: this weight, because he had like so much weight on him,
Speaker 4: I said, bro, you're doing if you came take yourself
Speaker 4: and say if you can't lift this by yourself, don't
Speaker 4: be don't do it.
Speaker 3: Don't do it.
Speaker 4: That's why I do dump dumb bills because I don't
Speaker 4: have to worry about nobody's and I know and I
Speaker 4: can drop time, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 5: I'm like, this is but it just goes to show
Speaker 5: you it's folks in those places.
Speaker 3: Like the gym.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you don't realize that it's a guy
Speaker 4: and there he's an ex athlete that's probably better than
Speaker 4: everybody in here at doing what you guys are doing.
Speaker 4: Because I had a guy also tell me one time, Hey,
Speaker 4: you're going so so on your squad. You need to
Speaker 4: go all the way down. I say, Bro, you're gonna
Speaker 4: tear your knees up. You don't go all the way
Speaker 4: down on your.
Speaker 3: Probably goes, I said.
Speaker 4: I said, I go, I have an imaginary bench behind me. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and I'm acting like I'm sitting on the bench. And
Speaker 4: I said, you push your back out, you push your
Speaker 4: butt out.
Speaker 3: And like you're sitting on that bench. Oh no, you
Speaker 3: who touched you? I said, Well, first of all, I'm
Speaker 3: a professional athlete. What profession you? I say, Bro? And
Speaker 3: the white dude like I'm gonna raft.
Speaker 4: But I say, you know, if it bothered me a
Speaker 4: little bit, cause I'm like, bro, like, how would you
Speaker 4: come out your way to tell me how to do something?
Speaker 4: And then I've been doing it all my life? And
Speaker 4: then he comes down to find out who I was.
Speaker 4: Probably I saw him like some weeks later and come
Speaker 4: to me. Ohrlogized man, But yeah you was. You was
Speaker 4: a beast on the field. I say, yea, But you
Speaker 4: try to tell me how the squat. Yeah, and I'm
Speaker 4: pretty sure your knees are messed up in mind, I
Speaker 4: asked three knee surgery, so I'm definitely not going all
Speaker 4: the way to the ground damn squad, right you.
Speaker 2: Know, first of all, no, that's not gonna work. Me
Speaker 2: and waists don't get along.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It's weird though, because like you're actually kind of
Speaker 1: like like if I didn't know, if I saw you
Speaker 1: just walking around, be like, oh he's kind of jacked.
Speaker 1: You must go to the gym. But you just genetically no,
Speaker 1: I look like Fred looked like that when he played fob.
Speaker 3: Fred like a pencil. I was so skinny.
Speaker 4: So now like his his fat is just you know,
Speaker 4: distributed through like certainly certain layers of his body that
Speaker 4: make him look like he buff a little bit because he,
Speaker 4: like Fred got fat and he didn't go to his
Speaker 4: gun and went like, oh, I'm gonna give my bicketle.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give him a trap.
Speaker 5: I finally because when I played for I look like
Speaker 5: a basketball very skin because I look at it and
Speaker 5: I'll be like, damn, but it's just fat. I'm going
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go eat different.
Speaker 1: Areas south fan soft.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to moving forward here, guys. All right,
Speaker 1: that's our next segment. And this segment is presented by

Speaker 1: dot org slash Washington today that those letters like are
Speaker 1: hell with my dyslexia. Yeah, oh my gosh, it's tough anyway,
Speaker 1: So let's talk about this. Still four games left to play,
Speaker 1: three against teams that are plus five hundred. What do
Speaker 1: you want to see the rest of the way. I've
Speaker 1: got a couple of things here. Yeah, right, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let's start with Uh, let's start with Ron Rivera and
Speaker 1: the coaching staff. Yeah, what do you want to see
Speaker 1: from them coming to the home stretcher fight?
Speaker 3: Honestly, man, look, you know it was crazy.
Speaker 4: I was talking to Jackie the other day in this sweek,
Speaker 4: Sean Taylor's daughter, and she asks the question. And it's
Speaker 4: crazy because you know, you get kids that you know,
Speaker 4: she's an athlete and we're watching the game. She was
Speaker 4: discussed that she's going on. She got a North Carolina
Speaker 4: she's gonna be a tired here next year.
Speaker 3: But she asked the question. She's like, man, it's crazy.
Speaker 4: Man, Like, you know, every game I'm here, you know,
Speaker 4: we kind of like, you know, losing. And she like,
Speaker 4: you know, what do the players have to you know,
Speaker 4: play for? And I was like, I'm glad you said that.
Speaker 4: I say, well, they're livelihoods. Moms immediately say yeah, this
Speaker 4: is a job, and it clicked. She's a kid, She's
Speaker 4: not realizing this is a job.
Speaker 3: I'm like, you how to gain something? I say, Jackie,
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4: You know, as a player, we all have the same
Speaker 4: mindset coming into the season.
Speaker 3: Want to hun the super Bowl, you want to win
Speaker 3: the championship.
Speaker 4: This is what we prepare for an off season, I say,
Speaker 4: But it gets a couple of games in through the
Speaker 4: season where you knew where you at. You know every player,
Speaker 4: individual player know their team's faith before that team really
Speaker 4: has met their faith. And so you kind of say
Speaker 4: to yourself, then, regardless of what's going on, I'm still
Speaker 4: playing as if I'm trying to give my team a
Speaker 4: chance to win that championship, but I'm winning an individual championship.
Speaker 4: That individual championship is the one to keep my job,
Speaker 4: or or two to get the stats out, or three
Speaker 4: to get the accolades that come with all those things.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So that's what I explained to her, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: at the end of the day, it's crazy as it is.
Speaker 4: I listened to Michael Irving say something the other day
Speaker 4: about his number and not wanting to be retired. He
Speaker 4: was like, because every time a guy catch.
Speaker 3: The ball, they say thinking about me and thinking.
Speaker 4: About Mike Area. Every time they dropped the ball, they say,
Speaker 4: Mike Evan rid of quarter. So basically always getting his flowers.
Speaker 4: I'm riding into the stadium, I'm riding into the stadium
Speaker 4: and i'm watching.
Speaker 3: I'm listening to one on six point seven.
Speaker 4: You know, Defan you're on there, so I'm always getting
Speaker 4: it right before you come on. And I think it
Speaker 4: was Sheen, one of those guys. Sheen was on and
Speaker 4: he said he had I guess a recording of Paulton
Speaker 4: Grant talking about you know, the different things is that
Speaker 4: he's been a part of of watching his team. And
Speaker 4: the first thing he said, they asked him like, so
Speaker 4: you know what players stick out that been on teams
Speaker 4: like this that had nothing to fight for. And the
Speaker 4: first thing said was what Santana was the guy that
Speaker 4: And I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, I'm listening. I'm like, that's why we played the
Speaker 3: way we played.
Speaker 4: We want to always be remembered for going out there
Speaker 4: laying on, no matter.
Speaker 3: What job the outcome.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So I would say what I want from the
Speaker 5: coach of staff is a youth movement.
Speaker 2: I don't believe in losing old.
Speaker 5: If I'm gonna start playing guy, if I'm gonna lose,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna lose with guys that gonna learn from these
Speaker 5: bumps and bruises and only gonna get better. So the
Speaker 5: kJ Henry's of the world, the Jones is of the world.
Speaker 5: I'm trying to shuffle into person. Butler's the word, like,
Speaker 5: I want as many reps as you can get playing
Speaker 5: those they are playing, so Sam Cosmy, I want to
Speaker 5: say somehow like I'm gonna lose.
Speaker 3: I'm losing with the babies. That's just the way it is.
Speaker 1: I think I agree with that, And I think to
Speaker 1: Tanner's point, it's just about, like how do you motivate
Speaker 1: these guys? This is this is top and those guys
Speaker 1: should be intrinsically motivated. They should understand like the situation
Speaker 1: of what's going on here, but sometimes I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: And sometimes having a guy like Ron who's been in
Speaker 1: this situation before and can get those guys motivated. And
Speaker 1: I also just want to see if they can clean
Speaker 1: up some of the stuff on the back end, because
Speaker 1: I think that helps with the evaluation of some of
Speaker 1: the young guys, like are you teaching it correctly? Are
Speaker 1: you coaching it correctly? And I think that's something I
Speaker 1: want because I want a good evaluation of the young
Speaker 1: guys of the roster as a whole, and I don't
Speaker 1: think you get there without having kind of cleaning up
Speaker 1: some of the mess. Song like clean.
Speaker 3: Do you mean like cleaning up the like coaching.
Speaker 1: I think just making sure the guy, I just making
Speaker 1: sure guy, allowing guys to play fast. Because like there
Speaker 1: was moments in this game, quite honestly against against Miami
Speaker 1: where I was like, this is the best I've seen
Speaker 1: Cody Barton play. Wow, Like this is the best he's
Speaker 1: matched concepts, this is the best vision he's played with.
Speaker 1: This is the guy that when we brought him in
Speaker 1: from Seattle is who you thought we were going to get.
Speaker 4: That's what and and and and to your point is
Speaker 4: that's why Maron said he want to simplify the defense.
Speaker 4: So you know, so basically we need to tell the
Speaker 4: viewers and listeners. Okay, so don't don't judge them yet
Speaker 4: my wins a loss, but not even by win's losses
Speaker 4: or by that last week game, because you gotta think
Speaker 4: playing against the super power offense in the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2: And the coordinator been there six days and you.
Speaker 3: Got Run just coming in.
Speaker 4: So give Run a chance to really show what this
Speaker 4: defense can do with you know, with it being simplified
Speaker 4: and now playing a I can't say a basic offense,
Speaker 4: but an offense that's more normal.
Speaker 3: Because like when you got guys like Tyreek has cheating.
Speaker 5: And it ain changed the whole day.
Speaker 4: But I can say this even to her, he gets
Speaker 4: the ball out better than anybody in the league.
Speaker 2: You know that left hand and his left hand offense.
Speaker 2: I think people leave that out so much.
Speaker 5: When the strength of the offense changes to the left
Speaker 5: to the right, you almost have to put your left
Speaker 5: d end.
Speaker 3: Think about this as a d N.
Speaker 5: We did this with chasing my tas people used to
Speaker 5: would be like, well, why month Tears ain't getting this
Speaker 5: in that And I'd be like.
Speaker 2: Man, listen. Montez plays front side, meaning.
Speaker 5: The quarterback snaps the ball and he's always in the view.
Speaker 3: With Chase backside.
Speaker 5: So like that changes when the quarterback becomes a left
Speaker 5: handed now it switches around.
Speaker 2: So I think people forget these things.
Speaker 5: And people don't understand some corners. Left corners can't play
Speaker 5: right corner. It's so vice and versus. So it's different.
Speaker 4: Same with like a wide receiver who catches bombs better
Speaker 4: on the right side than he's doing the left hand side.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like the right hand right hand, Like.
Speaker 3: Hey, we're going to go and go round on the left.
Speaker 3: I'm like why. I know I've quught him on that side,
Speaker 3: but I'm a right handed guy. Give it to me
Speaker 3: on the right guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And there are guys that catch the ball coming
Speaker 1: across the middle different like if the left hands on
Speaker 1: top or whatever.
Speaker 3: So I'm going left, I'm going like this, and I'm
Speaker 3: going right. I'm going like that. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But so I was just saying, can we get
Speaker 1: that cleaned up? Can eb I guess like, help maximize sam?
Speaker 1: I always want to clean evaluation, know where the roster's
Speaker 1: at now. I think we haven't had that this year
Speaker 1: because all it just seems to be so much gray.
Speaker 1: Let's clean up the gray. Simple, Let's play fast.
Speaker 5: And this is what I can say about me and
Speaker 5: London the defense. When we was in this situation where
Speaker 5: we knew the season gonna be over. At the last game,
Speaker 5: we played hater. We like to hate on everybody, like
Speaker 5: that's what this team got a chance to do. You
Speaker 5: get the hate on everybody.
Speaker 3: That's safe to say we're out of it, right.
Speaker 5: Yes, it's safe to say that the eye is black,
Speaker 5: the eyes black.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so the other one, this one is maybe
Speaker 1: the most interesting one to me, is veteran leaders on
Speaker 1: the team, Like what's your expectation for them? And the
Speaker 1: thing for me is like I don't even know who's
Speaker 1: the guy really.
Speaker 4: I know, I know we understand John, but but he's.
Speaker 1: Like a different type, you know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 1: like who can focus this locker room? Like I remember
Speaker 1: early in my career, like eleven, Like there was a
Speaker 1: bunch of dudes like you know, the Kendrick Olsens, Alexander's
Speaker 1: like even reached outy to a certain extent.
Speaker 2: I love London I used to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah I know you did. But like but like those
Speaker 1: those types of guys, you know, they're not the biggest things,
Speaker 1: but just the leadership that came from them, they were
Speaker 1: able to kind of keep us focus, you know. And
Speaker 1: is there is there enough guy like is Mayo guy Thomas?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you can lean on Logan? Uh, I
Speaker 5: don't know. You think Child's Lenno?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's He's a guy that is is
Speaker 1: a leader. I think has the reputation of being a
Speaker 1: leader in the offensive line room. Yeah yeah, he's been around.
Speaker 1: But it is it like, does Sam Cosmy step up
Speaker 1: as a leader? Does Tyler Larson? Is he a leader?
Speaker 3: But This is one of the thing about being a leader,
Speaker 3: and tell me if I'm wrong or right. You can
Speaker 3: be a.
Speaker 4: Guy that's very vocal, you can be you can be
Speaker 4: a guy that's been around. But if your play isn't
Speaker 4: adding up to what you're saying to me, you can't
Speaker 4: say nothing.
Speaker 3: Don't say yeah.
Speaker 1: But also there, but I think I agree with that,
Speaker 1: and that's how you that's how you let That's how I.
Speaker 3: Ain't say nothing to nobody. I'm gonna go out there
Speaker 3: on the field.
Speaker 4: And so when I finally said something, it meant something
Speaker 4: now we like and then got out of his character.
Speaker 1: That is strongly correlated for sure, But I also think
Speaker 1: there's a process like the guys who are the same
Speaker 1: every day, like you're like this too, so same every day,
Speaker 1: same work ethics, same approach, Like you're not up and
Speaker 1: down with it. It's like I'm here and pro same.
Speaker 1: That's also a type of leadership respect.
Speaker 4: That that is, that is something that you look at,
Speaker 4: but that has a trends that has a transfer to
Speaker 4: the field.
Speaker 5: Though, you know what I'm saying, because like I've seen
Speaker 5: guys that you see him like whoa boy Jacob used
Speaker 5: to talk about Taylor Jacobs all the time. We would
Speaker 5: be like, oh, you would go ahead practice and me
Speaker 5: and Champ will be like, this dude is giving us fits.
Speaker 5: He fast, he's scrolled, he's coming out of cuts. I
Speaker 5: can't jam him.
Speaker 2: Get in the game.
Speaker 3: He can't beat the blind man.
Speaker 4: It's just it's just don't don't transfer, you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying. So but basically what you're saying is you
Speaker 4: need a professional. You need a guy who's a professional
Speaker 4: that basically comes to work, show you, he bring his herd,
Speaker 4: his lunch pail, and when he leaves here you have
Speaker 4: the same mindset when you see him on the field,
Speaker 4: you know, come game day.
Speaker 5: Because I said, maybe a Jacobyssett, Maybe Jacobyssett is that
Speaker 5: type leader.
Speaker 3: You know you don't need to start.
Speaker 4: He's a guy that I'm questioning, like, should we even
Speaker 4: you know, I'll.
Speaker 3: Keep him around here? I would. I would have him here.
Speaker 4: A long time.
Speaker 3: We learned the quarterbacks hurt.
Speaker 5: We learned that the backup quarterback position is because you're
Speaker 5: because the armieson want to say that because they you
Speaker 5: hear so much in the media about oh, it's Sam
Speaker 5: the guy, and should he should we do?
Speaker 3: Should we bring somebody else in. Well, if you bring
Speaker 3: somebody else in, it gonna take a while for him too,
Speaker 3: especially bringing a young guy.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jacobra said, is the most seasoned guy you
Speaker 4: have here.
Speaker 3: I would I would.
Speaker 4: Rest assured and say, hey, if everything go eight wall,
Speaker 4: you know, like how it is right now? How they
Speaker 4: basically saying it is with Sam, you got you got
Speaker 4: a veteran who knows you know.
Speaker 1: No, I agree with that. All right, Let's let's skip
Speaker 1: ahead a little bit here. Obviously, a guy that has
Speaker 1: had an interstring the last couple of weeks is Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 3: M hm.
Speaker 1: And what's your expectation for him last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: to season? Man?
Speaker 3: This fighting out man.
Speaker 4: Terry is a guy you know people basically say something
Speaker 4: about anything that just kind of like there for them
Speaker 4: to say something about it. And I think the most
Speaker 4: glaring thing to talk about is just he had no
Speaker 4: catches this past week. Let's talk about the game when
Speaker 4: he had in two catches. Talking about the game when
Speaker 4: he only had three attempts, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: It's been going on the entire season. And what I
Speaker 4: would say with that is because he's playing with a
Speaker 4: young quarterback.
Speaker 3: That's not just saying that's my guy.
Speaker 4: And it's at times you saw him in games where
Speaker 4: we were like, okay, Sam got it. Now he knows
Speaker 4: to throw the Terry. But now it makes me believe
Speaker 4: that it was told to him that week we're going
Speaker 4: to Terry.
Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: There's a I played his position for a long time,
Speaker 4: and I remember coach Zorn saying, hey, the game ball
Speaker 4: going to Santana and he no catches that game, but
Speaker 4: he went out there and played hard.
Speaker 3: Get out my face.
Speaker 4: But at the same time, at the same time, thank
Speaker 4: you because you acknowledging something that shouldn't happen. You see
Speaker 4: what I'm saying you as a head coach, you acknowledging
Speaker 4: that I didn't get a ball, But at the same time,
Speaker 4: you acknowledging that I went out there and played football.
Speaker 4: And that's one of the things I want to see
Speaker 4: from guys. You know, Hey, we're in a different world
Speaker 4: back then, you can do that.
Speaker 3: Now it's all about stats.
Speaker 4: It's all about because these office are so high powered
Speaker 4: that they're throwing the ball to everybody. But when it
Speaker 4: comes to a guy like Terry, the number of what
Speaker 4: he's being paid is always talked about now or is
Speaker 4: he a top ten guy's going to be talked about?
Speaker 3: All this is yes, yes, yes, But when.
Speaker 4: You got a young quarterback, you gotta you gotta kind
Speaker 4: of take these wounds, take these lecks, because any guy
Speaker 4: going to go through what Terry's going through right now,
Speaker 4: it's just.
Speaker 3: Not Terry Johann going through it too. He don't know
Speaker 3: how to handle that time because he's so young. Terry's
Speaker 3: handling it well. You certainly say I got a lot
Speaker 3: of cardio in.
Speaker 4: Hey, I ain't catch no passes, but I got my
Speaker 4: steps saying I take my apple, watch it.
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But that's how you got to look at it. You
Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. But I say, going forward, he's
Speaker 4: still a guy. You just got to get him on
Speaker 4: out to see.
Speaker 5: And it's so funny he's going through Santana mousisms all
Speaker 5: I'm going through the career, whole career, and h got
Speaker 5: to think about these dudes. This is what I love
Speaker 5: about him. Most receivers are divers. Terry could easily be
Speaker 5: talking to ESPN about you know what they ain't using
Speaker 5: me right, they ain't doing it. He could easily be
Speaker 5: saying these things, doing these things, lashing out.
Speaker 2: It ain't me.
Speaker 3: I'm worth eighty million. They just won't throw me the bout.
Speaker 5: He refused to do it, Like Tantanna was the same way.
Speaker 5: And it's sometime it hurts them, sometime it helps them.
Speaker 5: But when it comes to that locker room, we appreciate them.
Speaker 5: We appreciate them for.
Speaker 3: Not being the jerk, not being the diva.
Speaker 5: So what I gotta say with Terry just keep her
Speaker 5: on chopping wood, dude, keep her on chopping wood.
Speaker 4: And I only spoke out once about not getting the ball,
Speaker 4: and it wasn't even here. It was in New York
Speaker 4: and I was young, And the only reason I spoke
Speaker 4: out because I was forcing into a corner. You know,
Speaker 4: you know how like that, like you push that person
Speaker 4: into a corner and think he can't fight, they come
Speaker 4: out knock out two y'all, and then the other was run.
Speaker 4: That was me, And it wasn't really like in that sense,
Speaker 4: but that's how I felt. I come into the I
Speaker 4: come from by a walk through, and I sit in
Speaker 4: my locker.
Speaker 3: And like, damn, get all this attention for to day.
Speaker 4: I haven't had this since my since my first year
Speaker 4: coming here, and they like, so what do you feel,
Speaker 4: you know, how do you feel about what coach had
Speaker 4: to say?
Speaker 3: So I'm like, what do you mean what coach said?
Speaker 4: And I find out to the great firing from ESPN
Speaker 4: that Hermeler said that all you know, in order to
Speaker 4: get our office back to where we need to be at,
Speaker 4: I run out the catch. Guy needs to start showing
Speaker 4: he can run out the catch. So I'm like, damn,
Speaker 4: that was like a low blow. He ain't had to
Speaker 4: say no names because it's no other guy on his
Speaker 4: roster they can run out of the catch. So I
Speaker 4: just thought about a pause. I said, well, he didn't
Speaker 4: say my name, so should I even be offended? And
Speaker 4: I'm like, now I'm offended because because I'm a receiver,
Speaker 4: that know what I'm going through. So let me take
Speaker 4: you back the year prior to that, I just had
Speaker 4: a thousand some yards eleven hundred yards my first you know,
Speaker 4: thousand yard season, my second year playing for them, my
Speaker 4: third year in the league. And the next year you
Speaker 4: brought in Justin mccerrn's which I love. He's a great
Speaker 4: receiver from Tennessee. I remember what you made him number one. Now,
Speaker 4: I just had a thousand yards, brought in a guy
Speaker 4: who hadn't had number one thousand yards on his team ever,
Speaker 4: and brought him in to be a number one on
Speaker 4: this team.
Speaker 3: And then you say you.
Speaker 1: Run, you run, catch.
Speaker 4: Guys need to perform more. And at that point I
Speaker 4: wouldn't getting the ball. So I just thought about it,
Speaker 4: and I didn't throw nobody in the bus. I didn't
Speaker 4: say no names. I say, well, maybe if that's what
Speaker 4: he wants, I need to line up that quarterback, hike
Speaker 4: the ball to myself, and take off because that's the
Speaker 4: only way I'm gonna get the ball going. And I
Speaker 4: go to practice that day and her, I love her.
Speaker 4: He said, all right, not yes, what we got to
Speaker 4: get it to you. So I'm like, back, coach, we're
Speaker 4: going to the game Seattle comes to Giant Stadium. You know,
Speaker 4: I'm playing with the Jets. First half, we're going to halftime.
Speaker 4: I have seventy five yards. Look this up, I'm spot on.
Speaker 4: I have seventy five yards and two TVs. Second half,
Speaker 4: they throw me no balls and we lose the game.
Speaker 4: So that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: You see us out.
Speaker 4: So I'm not sorry. I'm bringing back to your point.
Speaker 4: Bring back to your.
Speaker 3: Point about speaking up when I need to. That's why
Speaker 3: it wasn't a diva.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to speak about it unless I'm forcing
Speaker 4: that coneer to speak about it. But as a professional,
Speaker 4: as a guy that you know, I'm on your team,
Speaker 4: you're watching film, give me a chance, Just give me
Speaker 4: a chance. I'm not saying throw to me all the
Speaker 4: time when I'm opening, when I'm one on one, throw
Speaker 4: the ball up.
Speaker 3: I gotta come down with it.
Speaker 1: And that's so I think, yeah, like, can he can
Speaker 1: he keep his nose to the grind sow? And can
Speaker 1: he keep making with limited opportunities? Can he make those players?
Speaker 1: We saw a couple in the Miami game right where
Speaker 1: he should have got the ball. Protection wasn't there. Sam
Speaker 1: didn't get there. There's adversity for him last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: So yeah, just keep you like this.
Speaker 2: The cornerback for the dall Is blaying should not have
Speaker 2: more touchdowns.
Speaker 1: And here I'm just gonna keep it with you.
Speaker 4: What they're throwing at his they throwing at him. So
Speaker 4: if he taking it, if you're picking it up, that's
Speaker 4: what I can say. They didn't wear him a hole.
Speaker 4: They had to change the guy. He was thinking. I
Speaker 4: put him over there. Maybe you get a pick over there.
Speaker 3: Nobody cares.
