Speaker 1: The views and opinions expressed by our podcast guests are
Speaker 1: their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or
Speaker 1: positions of the Washington Commanders or any of their representatives.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Command Center Podcast. I'm Logan Paulson with
Speaker 2: Fred Smooth and Santana Moss. Hey you guys doing all right?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm Fred Smooth.
Speaker 2: We here say in the building, Yeah, in the building,
Speaker 2: ready to go. Yeah, let's get it started, all right? Man.
Speaker 2: There's been a little bit of shade cast by Vegas. Man,
Speaker 2: they only have it. They have the commanders with six
Speaker 2: and a half wins. I don't know when you look
Speaker 2: at this schedule, can you find seven?
Speaker 3: I can find more than said?
Speaker 2: Okay, are you doing? Are you doing a London fletch
Speaker 2: right now? You're twelve weeks.
Speaker 3: I'm being very realistic. Come on, Coke mccorr will be
Speaker 3: staring for the Arizona Cardinals in the first game. We
Speaker 3: will be playing the game at home. DECI wining right there.
Speaker 3: You're looking at the Denver game. They're still gonna be
Speaker 3: install and Shi rosters.
Speaker 2: That roster is really good.
Speaker 3: Roster is stacked. But guess what I feel like the
Speaker 3: NFC East was a better division than that division last year,
Speaker 3: and Denver was the worst team in that division besides
Speaker 3: the Raiders. All right, so I'm just saying, our guys,
Speaker 3: we'll be ready for their challenge. And when I look
Speaker 3: at it positional, where are they better than us? At Denver?
Speaker 3: They're not a better d line than us, I think.
Speaker 2: I'd say the receivers are close. The offensive line is
Speaker 2: probably better. I'd say they're better, but it's close. I
Speaker 2: say the offensive line there is better. The running backs
Speaker 2: are very good, very comparable here. So offensively, it's a
Speaker 2: pretty stacked, well flushed out group. And I think defensively,
Speaker 2: obviously Vic Fangio is gone, but like that was one
Speaker 2: of the best defensive the NFL last year. So I
Speaker 2: mean it so really, so really, what it comes down to,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, is how does Russell Wilson take that
Speaker 2: Seanpagne offense.
Speaker 3: And how fast do our fits start to Yeah, that's
Speaker 3: also on the road though, That's another thing.
Speaker 2: That's a tough trip to Denver to you remember those trips.
Speaker 3: It's the elevation.
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, you gotta look at like this though,
Speaker 4: you know, and we're talking about just wins alone. Doesn't
Speaker 4: really matter what they feel, you know what I mean. Yeah,
Speaker 4: we can also up here and state you know how
Speaker 4: things may may transpired, But these guys are gonna go
Speaker 4: out there and play the game. If you just look
Speaker 4: at the paper alone, yeah, I can give us easy
Speaker 4: nine to ten wins. So just looking at the paper.
Speaker 2: So why do you think it's so low then if
Speaker 2: you can get because.
Speaker 4: We haven't done nothing yet, we haven't proved nothing to
Speaker 4: no one that we should come into the season with hype.
Speaker 3: So more than than than say, how is the Rodney
Speaker 3: danger field of quarterbacks? He gets you? Okay, there, he
Speaker 3: gets no respect Rodney. He's a young guy.
Speaker 4: He's a young, unproven guy. At the end of the day,
Speaker 4: why should they say, sim Howe is going to come
Speaker 4: in here and lead this team to more than six wins?
Speaker 3: Should call him to Andrew Dice claim.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 2: So if you if we get nine wins, we should
Speaker 2: have been able to find seven pretty easy. I think
Speaker 2: to me, Denver is a question mark. It's early in
Speaker 2: the year, it's a tough road trip. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: put a question mark there on my little piece of paper.
Speaker 3: And you do agree with Arizona.
Speaker 2: Arizona, I think they're in the midst of a rebuild.
Speaker 2: They're starting quarterback is not going to play, their defense
Speaker 2: is not great right now. Like gets that should be
Speaker 2: a win for sure, and it's that and it's at home.
Speaker 2: The fans are gonna be juiced, you know, with the
Speaker 2: new ownership group coming in. I think that's for sure.
Speaker 4: I think we have a lot of new energy coming in.
Speaker 4: It's going to surprise a lot of people this year
Speaker 4: what we do. I'm not jumping on the limb right
Speaker 4: now and saying what we're gonna be doing, but I
Speaker 4: think a lot of the stuff that's been going on
Speaker 4: off season for as far as the draft, you know,
Speaker 4: the changing of the it's gonna be some some different
Speaker 4: energy in the building.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: And this team, sleeping Giant is awoke. They're gonna feel
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 2: So then we go Buffalo Philly and he wins there.
Speaker 3: Buffalo ain't the Buffalo? Is that team that people have
Speaker 3: branded the king of the a f C and they
Speaker 3: won nothing?
Speaker 2: Well they also, I mean, no, it's not about them,
Speaker 2: you know, can they can this team beat that team?
Speaker 3: I think we can beat Buffalo because I believe we
Speaker 3: got a better defensive backfield than we did, and Buffalo
Speaker 3: has proven that they will not run the ball all.
Speaker 3: If you won't run the ball, you cannot give your
Speaker 3: defense chance to risk. And if offense is preshing the
Speaker 3: issue with him, I think that we got a legit
Speaker 3: chance to beat them, and we honestly.
Speaker 4: Want to see how long with this his experience, Josh
Speaker 4: Allen experience last you know, just running the ball and
Speaker 4: being trying to be tough and physical. That doesn't last long,
Speaker 4: especially when you're not You can say he's built for that,
Speaker 4: but he's not really built.
Speaker 3: Nobody, no quarterback is built.
Speaker 4: For that kind of beating.
Speaker 2: So I'm down at tight end University last year. Dude
Speaker 2: looks like golfer, you know what I mean, Like kind
Speaker 2: of dad bod not very impressive. But I will say,
Speaker 2: because it's early in the year, Tenna, does that take
Speaker 2: away some of that, you know, like that he's going
Speaker 2: to beat up, He's gonna be fresh, He's gonna be fresh.
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is you coming, you come and
Speaker 4: try to do be be herero against the wrong team
Speaker 4: and see what happens against the wrong in his season, real, real,
Speaker 4: early you know what I mean. You don't want to
Speaker 4: go against certain defenses with that kind of a play.
Speaker 3: But I say that that roster is better than this. It'stack.
Speaker 3: But you know, any given Sunday, you gotta show up.
Speaker 3: But I like what you said about the dad boys,
Speaker 3: but I only want quarterbacks with I don't like wheel
Speaker 3: Levis to step in here gunned out.
Speaker 2: It's never worked in Brady Quinn another gun down quarterback,
Speaker 2: not a.
Speaker 3: Gun down quiet like my quarterbacks to look like they
Speaker 3: have never lift the weight in their life. And Sam
Speaker 3: how it looks like he's never lift the weight in
Speaker 3: his life. Seven months pregnant, he does not look skinny.
Speaker 2: I like that, Okay, I do like it. So Philadelphia
Speaker 2: probably lost, So I'm gonna put a question mark next
Speaker 2: to next to Buffalo.
Speaker 3: And I'm one in one with all the division teams,
Speaker 3: so you know, I don't care if they're win away. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't care.
Speaker 2: If they'll make a Yeah, we'll make a note of that. Okay,
Speaker 2: So Philadelphia, obviously we're gonna split fee there.
Speaker 3: And I want to get a home team the home game.
Speaker 2: Yeah I got, I got we go Chicago, Atlanta, New York.
Speaker 3: About one of those. I like us in Chicago, and
Speaker 3: I like us in Atlanta.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yeah, at Atlanta. At Atlanta, that's not like
Speaker 2: a tough trip or anything. But I do think that team,
Speaker 2: they their team.
Speaker 3: Is gonna be a They're gonna they gonna be a gritty,
Speaker 3: gritty three of the most explosive players in their position.
Speaker 3: Cow pissed, I think is the truth. The Robinson at
Speaker 3: tail beck, I think they're gonna use him more like
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuels. Uh. And then you got Drake London at
Speaker 3: wide received.
Speaker 2: One of the best offensive lines in football, at least.
Speaker 4: Depending on what quarterback shows up. I mean, I like
Speaker 4: the young picked up last year. I mean, he's to me,
Speaker 4: he hasn't shown much yet in this league, but man,
Speaker 4: he can be special.
Speaker 3: It'd be so funny if we're playing Heineken in that game.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give so right now, Arizona Atlanta two wins.
Speaker 2: What about Chicago with Justin Fields, that is.
Speaker 3: Gonna be a tough team, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Like Chicago and Atlanta, like we're we're not great last year,
Speaker 2: but I think they're gonna get so much better.
Speaker 3: So much better. It's gonna be a dog fight in
Speaker 3: those games. But I think those are two win games,
Speaker 3: especially inside a two divisional game.
Speaker 2: I'll put a win there, all right. So right now
Speaker 2: we're at three wins New York. What do you think
Speaker 2: I give New York the game and then Philadelphia at
Speaker 2: home will win that one. Listen to me, this is
Speaker 2: one of the most interesting games on the schedule. The
Speaker 2: New England Patriots.
Speaker 3: The most unathletic team in the NFL. Really, Yes, the
Speaker 3: quarterback is not athlete. The wide receivers are not athletes.
Speaker 3: They do got some good tight ends. They just lost
Speaker 3: a their win on the offensive line. They do got
Speaker 3: a running back with Stevenson. They can run down here,
Speaker 3: but he's just not the fastest guy. Speed is not
Speaker 3: this team strong point.
Speaker 4: They're gonna beat you with this. They're gonna find a
Speaker 4: way to coach you. I have a shot down taking
Speaker 4: that one, taking the air loss, taking.
Speaker 3: The I got us beat New England.
Speaker 4: It's one of those coaching you got to really have
Speaker 4: your egg. You can be the most athletic team or
Speaker 4: have the most athletic players. But one of the things
Speaker 4: about Bill Belichick, man, we've we've seen him do that to.
Speaker 3: Us most definitely. But it hasn't been here. He hasn't
Speaker 3: been the dark vader you.
Speaker 4: When he starting his wings when everybody doubting and you
Speaker 4: toltally right.
Speaker 3: But I just think he I don't think he's in
Speaker 3: Live with Matt Jones. I do think Bill O'Brien.
Speaker 4: But Bill O'Brien is back, that's different.
Speaker 3: Everybody hates Bill O'Brien. I actually played for you.
Speaker 2: Would you would like him?
Speaker 3: Actually? Yeah, he's he's a he's a character man.
Speaker 4: Like everybody saw Bill O'Brien and Tom Brady go out
Speaker 4: on the sideline and everyone took Tom brady side. Bill
Speaker 4: O'Brien's alright.
Speaker 2: He's no, he's he's out there man.
Speaker 3: He'll let you know. But I like him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Seattle at Seattle, that's a tough trip.
Speaker 3: That's a tough we come away with wins and Seattle though,
Speaker 3: that is true win and see yeah we got the number. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so that is that a win. I like us. I
Speaker 3: like us in there.
Speaker 4: I like us going the road against you like I
Speaker 4: like you. Yeah, I think I think Geno is gonna
Speaker 4: always put you in a situation where and he's so
Speaker 4: lash y he can come back and and and rekindle
Speaker 4: some of them flames. But he's gonna he's gonna throw
Speaker 4: throw a couple of balls up there to you receive
Speaker 4: a group and second. Yeah, they but our secondary got
Speaker 4: a little better with our defensive line hunting. Man, if
Speaker 4: we can get the predator to be the predator this year, man,
Speaker 4: I'm scared of I'm scared for a lot of teams
Speaker 4: going up against our defense. I'm just gonna say that.
Speaker 2: So just so you know, week ten, we got one, two, three, four,
Speaker 2: five wins so far week ten, so we're doing all right.
Speaker 2: We get seven, we got to get two more, and
Speaker 2: you got them split in every game, so we should
Speaker 2: be able to get you see where Yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: the New York Giants again, that's a win right there, because.
Speaker 3: We gave him their home game game at home, all right.
Speaker 2: And then Dallas at Dallas, that's a loss.
Speaker 3: Gave him their home game. We're gonna giving we win.
Speaker 2: Thanks we went on Thanksgiving, so we give them my
Speaker 2: home game.
Speaker 3: We ain't giving them my home game.
Speaker 4: That is the team that we're gonna beat twice this year.
Speaker 2: Look at that boy over there, the cowboy killing man.
Speaker 3: Are you going to the mgu with that.
Speaker 4: We're gonna look, last time we seen these boys at
Speaker 4: all Thanksgiving, we took them down at their house and
Speaker 4: they came out of the house and we took them
Speaker 4: down again.
Speaker 3: So it's gonna be did score a touchdown game?
Speaker 2: So two wins against Dallas.
Speaker 3: I'm going with the cowboy killing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, win winning. So he's been one, two, three, four, five,
Speaker 2: six seven. That's eight wins right there. We haven't even
Speaker 2: we haven't even talked about Miami, Los.
Speaker 3: Angeles, Miami not going to Miami because this city just
Speaker 3: takes some away from from you know what I'm saying there.
Speaker 3: Some teams have it the arsenal, a city that will
Speaker 3: get on you. It's hard. Like the reason that the
Speaker 3: Vegas hockey team made it to the championship is first
Speaker 3: year because because ves and they lose, they lose their
Speaker 3: mind in the city consumes. You say this, I say this,
Speaker 3: I say this.
Speaker 4: If it's anybody want to listen to when it comes
Speaker 4: to a city consuming them, asks Fred, because Fred probably
Speaker 4: will allow Miami to He would be the one that
Speaker 4: get off that bus and coach say, I see all
Speaker 4: that seven o'clock in friends, No.
Speaker 3: Problem, let's go take listen, Vegas will consume you. So
Speaker 3: I'm just saying Miami has that effect. It has that effect,
Speaker 3: that warm weather.
Speaker 2: But it's it's at home.
Speaker 4: Miami is gonna be we played them here, Yes, Okay.
Speaker 3: I still I still Miami.
Speaker 2: Just I think I think, I think this is probably right,
Speaker 2: but I think they do beat Los Angeles. I'm gonna say,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say lost to Miami. I'm gonna say win
Speaker 2: versus Los Angeles. Got three New York Jets, Aaron Rodgers experiment.
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a top by the time.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna check us off the list with seven friend
Speaker 4: and the Jets.
Speaker 2: And and we have about nine wins, right losses you're saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: those are losses.
Speaker 4: Those are losses. But we'll beat Los Angeles so that's nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we got nine wins right there?
Speaker 3: Do that get us in the playoffs?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I think we need one more
Speaker 2: win probably, yeah, I think.
Speaker 3: So to be tight.
Speaker 4: But we beating the Cowboys twice, so yeah, tell they
Speaker 4: ain't gonna be in playoff.
Speaker 3: Who is Aaron Aaron Rodse at this time has the
Speaker 3: devacate I.
Speaker 2: Don't know, that's what that's the biggest question for me.
Speaker 3: This time one was in here.
Speaker 2: We did a podcast for the schedule lease and he
Speaker 2: was like, Oh, he's gotta be ball and he's gonna
Speaker 2: be this. I'm like, man, I don't know.
Speaker 4: New York defense has something going for them that Aaron
Speaker 4: Rodgers hasn't had in a long time. I mean, we've
Speaker 4: been giving Green Bay Defense praise for how many years now,
Speaker 4: and they find a way to spink it up every year.
Speaker 4: So if that defense is hunt like they hunt in
Speaker 4: the last few years and have to do much with
Speaker 4: that arsenal he has on the outside in the backfield,
Speaker 4: we talked about our arsenal.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: You know, you look at the receivers and he still
Speaker 4: got a guy that he's still reviving.
Speaker 3: He reviving his dog on his dog on slot receiver
Speaker 3: every year.
Speaker 4: You play like that.
Speaker 3: I wish I had Aaron Rodgers to say you never had.
Speaker 2: Hunt to be a big question there with the Jets
Speaker 2: is does Garrett Wilson take that next step? You know,
Speaker 2: he looked like a bar lasted.
Speaker 3: He's their number one, right, number.
Speaker 2: Two, which I think is excellent.
Speaker 3: Tru is excellent. Is their number one and number two
Speaker 3: better than ours. Terry is better than Wilson, I think.
Speaker 2: So, I think than the most of the number one.
Speaker 2: So the other thing we talked about Bill O'Brien, you know,
Speaker 2: being in New England, I also think getting a new
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator here in in New York, and it's it's Rogers.
Speaker 2: It's Aaron Rodgers, buddy.
Speaker 3: But a Rogers did not like motion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does like motions, like being under center.
Speaker 3: He doesn't like any of that, and Debt simplifies it
Speaker 3: for us defense.
Speaker 2: So I don't know, that'll be interesting to see what
Speaker 2: that team is doing. So right now the wins, we
Speaker 2: got Arizona, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Dallas, Los Angeles,
Speaker 2: and Dallas one more time for total.
Speaker 3: I think we tired of the forty nine ers too,
Speaker 3: because see we've been punching them back in the face
Speaker 3: for the last couple of years. I remember the rain
Speaker 3: game that came slid on the field. This team, especially
Speaker 3: with Trent being on this team, we don't back down
Speaker 3: to them. And the one thing we do know about
Speaker 3: them is Sam Donald has a legit chance to beat
Speaker 3: their quarterback. Yeah, all right, so I'm just not gonna
Speaker 3: give San Francisco a victory over US. I believe we'll
Speaker 3: lose the Seattle before we lose it.
Speaker 2: In interesting and even with Kyle Shanahan.
Speaker 3: Even with cal Cal, he does so much. But we
Speaker 3: played defense on them last year we played with them,
Speaker 3: They didn't go up and down the kind.
Speaker 2: Of it kind of felt like they were relying on
Speaker 2: their defense to win.
Speaker 3: Made some plays.
Speaker 4: I gotta go with fred on that one. But like
Speaker 4: I said, we're looking on paper, but we played toe
Speaker 4: the toe of those guys even when they when when
Speaker 4: everyone thought they.
Speaker 3: Was world beat as we played to hit them right
Speaker 3: in the mount.
Speaker 2: Like I said, talking well, who knows it's made right?
Speaker 2: So who knows? But also so would you take this
Speaker 2: to would you take this to Vegas?
Speaker 3: So this is over right, take it to Vegas and
Speaker 3: man they see it.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna win games, yeah, basically going I'm going plus four,
Speaker 4: kick four, plus four.
Speaker 3: Listen, this is a new era. It ain't no nothing
Speaker 3: better to stow it out. A new era hot. These
Speaker 3: players gonna feel it energy. These players gonna play in
Speaker 3: front of fans in that first game, they ain't never
Speaker 3: played for it. They're gonna feel uh, they're gonna feel rocking.
Speaker 3: I've been in there. It's gonna be a different where
Speaker 3: it's been so loud that you can feel the ground
Speaker 3: shaking under your feet.
Speaker 2: That'd be awesome. Come out that that first week like that.
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about Washington DB's this week. We
Speaker 2: talked to Benjamin Saint just on Command Center and he
Speaker 2: said he expects nothing less than a Pro Bowl season.
Speaker 3: What do you think, Fred, Well, this is it. Well,
Speaker 3: he's more of a Nola fire, meaning he's not gonna
Speaker 3: ever be a six to seven season pick guy. He
Speaker 3: stays in between the wide receiver in the quarterback. So
Speaker 3: if he gonna give to the Pro Bowl, we gotta win.
Speaker 3: He won't be able to go to the Pro Bowl.
Speaker 3: Would doubt us being a playoff team. So he has
Speaker 3: to take a numbdi Obbs and wide type of route
Speaker 3: into his playoff I mean, to his Pro Bowl year.
Speaker 3: But if the conas on the other side a manual,
Speaker 3: manual forbes make them throw back at him, that would
Speaker 3: give him a legit chance.
Speaker 2: Also, I mean he does create turnovers though like and
Speaker 2: he's not. He's not getting the interceptions. But I went
Speaker 2: back and watched all of his key players. He had
Speaker 2: two tip balls for picks. He punched the ball out
Speaker 2: for a fumble like he does.
Speaker 3: He does create, he manufactures turnovers because he's a huge guy.
Speaker 3: I like his confidence.
Speaker 4: I think he I think Fred was spot on when
Speaker 4: it comes to it. He's one of those guys, lanky
Speaker 4: guys you know when you're a receiver, when I you know,
Speaker 4: being a receiver in this league, I honestly like playing
Speaker 4: against guys like that because you can always get him
Speaker 4: to think you're doing something different than what you're really doing.
Speaker 4: And they can't, you know, get our tradition. They can't
Speaker 4: transition as quick as you can because as a receiver
Speaker 4: we always have the upper hand. But one of the
Speaker 4: things he has been and I wanted to be more
Speaker 4: of that.
Speaker 3: He's a disruptor.
Speaker 4: You said, get his hands on balls, find a way
Speaker 4: to punch balls out.
Speaker 3: Always writes a matter a little bit.
Speaker 4: Because he's so long, he can be. He can run
Speaker 4: with you. He might not be, he might not lock
Speaker 4: you down, but if the ball gets thrown behind, he's
Speaker 4: all over you.
Speaker 3: He's a ride eliminator because of his length. We never
Speaker 3: get rid z one fades and now you're putting another
Speaker 3: long six to one corner on the other side that
Speaker 3: don't get phase thrown at them. You're gonna have to
Speaker 3: break beat us on inbreak and cut.
Speaker 4: He just had to stay healthy too, you know what
Speaker 4: I mean? You can I mean, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 4: I'm with him. I think he can be a pro
Speaker 4: Bowl player, just gotta stay healthy and it's on him.
Speaker 2: And he's one of those he's unique and that he's
Speaker 2: a tall guy. He also has Elite three cone, Elite
Speaker 2: five five Like he broke the combine with that stuff.
Speaker 2: So you know, maybe not the best top end speed,
Speaker 2: but again that short area of stuff is great, you know.
Speaker 2: Emmanuel Forbes, Kawan Martin. A lot of hype around them,
Speaker 2: a lot of excitement I think rightfully so, But is
Speaker 2: it too much for these guys?
Speaker 3: Too much? Never too much? What?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: What haven't been said about him? Man? He gonna he's
Speaker 3: going to play I think rich Homie Kwan, that's the
Speaker 3: nickname I gave him. I think he's gonna shock people
Speaker 3: about how fast he picks up defenses pro defenses because
Speaker 3: he did play for Lovey Smith and I think most
Speaker 3: people are not taking it into accountability. And I think
Speaker 3: he's gonna be the Swiss army Knight. I think he's
Speaker 3: gonna be the one that finds himself making three plays
Speaker 3: in a row where he made some plays in the
Speaker 3: run game, tackle the running back that they tried to
Speaker 3: swing it to, but then come back and knock a
Speaker 3: pad down to the white. He's gonna have those type
Speaker 3: of chances.
Speaker 2: To me, he's like he's his impact on the defense
Speaker 2: is probably gonna be bigger than Forbes, I think, just
Speaker 2: because he he can do all that. Yeah, I don't know. Like,
Speaker 2: to me, he's like the biggest lynchpin because he can
Speaker 2: play a little buff of nickel true nickel host whatever
Speaker 2: it needs to be.
Speaker 4: I think it's safe to say that these two young
Speaker 4: guys come in a great situation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not taking nothing away from what they played,
Speaker 4: you know, out in college. But when you're coming on
Speaker 4: a team that's stacked like us on on the front front, yes,
Speaker 4: the back end should be easy for you, especially when
Speaker 4: you know how to play the back end, and these
Speaker 4: two guys know how to play the positions well. So man,
Speaker 4: their guys up front hunting like they hunt. Man, they
Speaker 4: don't have to play that hard. And we gotta we
Speaker 4: gotta we got a magnet for the ball on one end.
Speaker 4: We got a guy who can play everywhere. Man, this
Speaker 4: it should be simplified for these guys knowing that they're
Speaker 4: gonna have guys attacking that quarterback.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know, with Forbes, I wanted to ask you fred
Speaker 2: like and even in rook yes, even in rookie Minnicamp,
Speaker 2: you don't answer yes yeah, because you ever heard the question.
Speaker 2: He seemed like he was being overly aggressive. Can you
Speaker 2: be pressing for those interceptions? And that was something you know,
Speaker 2: we talked about with his film. Sometimes he presses for
Speaker 2: it and gets out of position.
Speaker 3: This is his identity. You gotta take the good with
Speaker 3: the bad. We talked about this with the Hall. D
Speaker 3: Hall would come up missing if he did his study
Speaker 3: and he believes that's what it is. He's gonna shoot
Speaker 3: his gun, win, lose a draw. And that's the difference
Speaker 3: between a thief. A thief is gonna give up some passes,
Speaker 3: but guess what. The quarterback would be more reluctant to
Speaker 3: know this aggressive dude is over here, so guess what.
Speaker 3: It's going to get him in trouble. So but as
Speaker 3: he learns what to do and how to do it.
Speaker 3: He'll be all right, what.
Speaker 4: Kind of trouble though, when you have a quarter, when
Speaker 4: you have a cornerback that that is as aggressive as
Speaker 4: far as might be this year, or take a little bit,
Speaker 4: take a place of the d Hall's book. Now you
Speaker 4: have to see where him and that safety comes in
Speaker 4: at to know that, Okay, because relations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I got to have his back every time.
Speaker 3: I know what he got up there.
Speaker 4: I know if he sees something, he gonna go get it.
Speaker 4: So now that sets me up for the pick or two,
Speaker 4: you understand.
Speaker 3: So because people gonna try to double move.
Speaker 4: Now we got to see that relationship between between him
Speaker 4: and his safety, you know, knowing that these guys got
Speaker 4: to play play on the same court.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And it's like, uh you know it's like
Speaker 2: kind of Tremon Diggs and Dallas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, win something, lose, loses a lot. Look,
Speaker 3: he wins a lot, the ball a lot. But he
Speaker 3: gets his mind. I want him every week he don't
Speaker 3: get But the one thing I can say about that
Speaker 3: that day, excuse me that Digs He's gonna find a
Speaker 3: way to try to change the game. He's gonna change
Speaker 3: the game. And with him step for Gilmore. Finna teach
Speaker 3: him all the little small things. So I think having
Speaker 3: a veteran like step for Gilmore is gonna clean his
Speaker 3: game up. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But do you think that there is someone here on
Speaker 2: the roster, maybe Kendall Fluor.
Speaker 4: Gonna tell these guys, look here for what you have.
Speaker 4: For what you have that I don't have, go get it.
Speaker 4: Know what you're see him before.
Speaker 3: He's a teacher. He's like fourth generation, his daddy, granddaddy,
Speaker 3: uncle Amy. Everybody play cornerback. So it's what it is,
Speaker 3: all right.
Speaker 2: So obviously Rookie Minte Camp just happened. What can you
Speaker 2: take out of rookie Mini Camp? You know, like his
Speaker 2: you know, Forbes has a picking seven on seven gets
Speaker 2: beat by the guy from Bryson Tremaine from Stanford on
Speaker 2: a slant where he gets knocked down and looks like
Speaker 2: where can you take from me?
Speaker 3: Guy's a human.
Speaker 2: But it's like, but what I'm saying is like you
Speaker 2: gotta hope you get probably ten guys who are gonna
Speaker 2: maybe make the roster. Yeah, and you got forty or
Speaker 2: fifty guys who are just trying this about who are
Speaker 2: doing something different. Yeah next week, Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 2: don't say pumping gas, but that's.
Speaker 3: Listen, we don't know. But at least we got these
Speaker 3: two minor leagues. Yeah that they can go b O
Speaker 3: date game, but I think you get a lot from it.
Speaker 3: You can get the feeling of belonging in the NFL
Speaker 3: when you go through your rookies and you get to
Speaker 3: just watch your rookies and see who's the dominant rookie,
Speaker 3: who's sticking up, and who looks different. And I think
Speaker 3: our guys that we drafted high. I heard what Regaz
Speaker 3: is doing. I think you know, so it's it's and
Speaker 3: I hear Henry. They loving his versatility. So I think
Speaker 3: you just get to see your guys for the first
Speaker 3: hand close enough. Yeah. Yeah, So you're not gonna compare
Speaker 3: them to the Ventrians yet because they haven't played with them.
Speaker 4: They haven't got a chance to really practice with the
Speaker 4: varsity yet. And being that some of those guys are
Speaker 4: varsity players because they was drafted high to walk there
Speaker 4: and compete on that level, you want to see what
Speaker 4: you got. And those guys come to mini camp with
Speaker 4: praise from the other guys that came in mini camp
Speaker 4: with them, So they got to go out there and
Speaker 4: shut they stuff's while Force went out there and shut
Speaker 4: this stuff a little bit. You know, he had to
Speaker 4: show those guys this is why I'm y'all first round pick.
Speaker 4: I think back to my mini camp. Look, I've always
Speaker 4: been a guy that I say less, I go out
Speaker 4: and do more. I remember leaving New York heading back
Speaker 4: home to Miami, and it was in the paper like, oh,
Speaker 4: well we saw on that grass the other day. If
Speaker 4: this guy can do that against everybody else's gonna be
Speaker 4: something serious. So you just want to come out here
Speaker 4: and show so to everyone that, hey, this is why
Speaker 4: they drafted me. At the end of the day, I
Speaker 4: haven't got a chance to go against the other but
Speaker 4: I want them to know when they watched this mem too,
Speaker 4: this is what I could do.
Speaker 3: So much critics off your back, That's what it is,
Speaker 3: because everybody been reached for. They reached for Gibbs, they
Speaker 3: reached for for No. We liked the player, we drafted
Speaker 3: the player.
Speaker 2: Life the But I think the real like evaluation point
Speaker 2: comes probably the first o TA practice.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they go out there with the with the varsity
Speaker 2: and the.
Speaker 3: D you run Wilder, man, I think you already know this.
Speaker 2: But I just want to see that's the more important
Speaker 2: you want to see it. All right, So now we're
Speaker 2: to everyone's favorite segment. What are you guys watching right now?
Speaker 3: Well, right now because it's their down time in the year.

Speaker 3: to show us age. Ain't nothing, bore, numbers, thing down,
Speaker 3: ain't nothing but a thing thirty eight years old doing
Speaker 3: the things that he do in a D which I'm
Speaker 3: I've been a big critic of a D because you
Speaker 3: can't make the club in the tub street closed. He
Speaker 3: has been bawling. I am shocked some of the teams.
Speaker 3: And I gotta say this about Jimmy Butler, what about him?
Speaker 3: He could be one of the best playoff players, all right,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry when the playoffs start, Jimmy Butler just turned
Speaker 3: into a superhero and just starts the dog. Come on,
Speaker 3: we never would have picked the heat three months ago
Speaker 3: and said they will be here right now, all right,
Speaker 3: So it's it's something man watching him be and James
