Speaker 2: Yeah, you're what they call a problem. What does it

Speaker 2: So good after you've been Uh, I see you work
Speaker 2: out at the UFC facility right Uh? Now when did
Speaker 2: you start? Are you? Are you boxing? Because I saw
Speaker 2: you were boxing? Do you ever grapple with the guys
Speaker 2: to work on your hand combat? Is that part of
Speaker 2: your off season? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So majority of the stuff we do is boxing. I've
Speaker 1: been boxing for three years now, like we're actually boxing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's funny. I was just with uh with
Speaker 1: Glazer today and we're doing some uh you know, he
Speaker 1: does a little these hands on m M A grappling
Speaker 1: type type stuff like that, so we're able to do
Speaker 1: He gives you.
Speaker 2: Grab always, you know the grab where they always you know,
Speaker 2: you see the GM for the first time in the
Speaker 2: off season and he grabs you. How you doing the
Speaker 2: GM and yeah, because they want to see if you've
Speaker 2: been working.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was testing my grip strength and everything. But
Speaker 1: it was it's been awesome. It's the first time ever
Speaker 1: you know, worked at that gym. But been good after it.
Speaker 1: So you just signed with Jordan Brand. Just signed with
Speaker 1: Jordan Brand.
Speaker 2: Okay, we got a white guy with Jordan Brand.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it's a big deal.
Speaker 2: That's that's that's a dope brand to work with. I
Speaker 2: almost signed with them, I think in eighteen, but they
Speaker 2: want me to get rid of my JA eleven stuff.
Speaker 2: I couldn't get rid of my JA eleven stuff.
Speaker 4: Man jumped true, he stayed true.
Speaker 2: Now, why'd you choose this game?
Speaker 1: This game specifically honestly, I think it was the most electric,
Speaker 1: most important, probably the biggest game of my life in
Speaker 1: my honestly, in my entire career so far. I mean,
Speaker 1: that was the first that was the only time I
Speaker 1: made the playoffs. I mean, the sickening is it is
Speaker 1: to admit that the first time, you know, winner get
Speaker 1: in rival week eighteen, it's literally everything on the table
Speaker 1: and we you know, it's probably the best game of
Speaker 1: the year. It was back and forth over time. It
Speaker 1: was crazy. So yeah, this is like I mean, this
Speaker 1: game was so far in my career, was probably the
Speaker 1: most insane game I.
Speaker 2: Played it and it was such a raider win. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: fuck the world. Yeah, fuck the tie. Yeah, you don't
Speaker 2: play This isn't This isn't soccer. No, okay, you know,
Speaker 2: boy genius Brandon Stay called the time out. I didn't
Speaker 2: know if you I didn't know if you guys were
Speaker 2: gonna go and you know, maybe let that thing right out.
Speaker 2: But what did you guys? Were you guys gonna let
Speaker 2: it ride out?
Speaker 4: Fuck No?
Speaker 1: And I didn't even hear about this. Oh yeah, they
Speaker 1: were thinking about doing a tie until after the game
Speaker 1: because we were in a position where, you know, we
Speaker 1: were close in field goal range, but if something fucking
Speaker 1: tragic happened they block it or something, we could lose
Speaker 1: the whole year. But I remember Rich on the sideline.
Speaker 1: He was, you know, going back and forth. What do
Speaker 1: we do here? And he's like, fuck it, just run
Speaker 1: this run this power one more time or whatever their
Speaker 1: play was, and Josh broke loose and got like twelve
Speaker 1: to fifteen yards and boom, now when field goal range.
Speaker 1: So honestly, it was a fuck you to the Chargers
Speaker 1: because they called the timeout and we were thinking about
Speaker 1: doing the tie, like taking a knee and I, fuck it,
Speaker 1: we're gonna make the playoffs whatever, But they called the
Speaker 1: timeout and we just said, fuck it, we're running another
Speaker 1: play and we got the first.
Speaker 2: Down, and what do you think they were thinking?
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I mean they're going.
Speaker 2: To try to get it back and you have a
Speaker 2: plus fifty punt and then like try to drive it
Speaker 2: down with like three.
Speaker 1: It made no sense, not one bit of sense.
Speaker 6: Staley said, we didn't have our right defense in there.
Speaker 6: He's got all the answers, a.
Speaker 2: Kodak timeout, a timeout, you got any you got any
Speaker 2: Stately stories.
Speaker 1: Stay stories I don't have any personal up close you know,
Speaker 1: anything like that, but I just know playing the Chargers
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I mean, you expect just
Speaker 1: the craziest shit. I mean, even in that game, it
Speaker 1: was like the first or second quarter and they went
Speaker 1: for it on their own eighteen, and like we're like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck, Like we're sitting there, like they're not
Speaker 1: punting the ball. We're like, okay, I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're doing. Like there's a time and place. I understand
Speaker 1: aggression and okay, the analytics, but there's a time and place.
Speaker 1: I mean, biggest game of the year. He can't be
Speaker 1: going for it on fourth and eighteen or fourth down
Speaker 1: on your own eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. And then and then the next year,
Speaker 2: you know, they kind of change, they try to change,
Speaker 2: you know, you know what I mean, they were, we
Speaker 2: weren't doing it as much. I mean, it's it's honestly
Speaker 2: crazy to me that he called the timeout.
Speaker 1: It's wild.
Speaker 2: Now you see that Austin Eckler.
Speaker 4: Clip, the one after the game, after.
Speaker 2: The game where he's talking to the place.
Speaker 6: I think it was a long snaper, the Raider's long snapper,
Speaker 6: oh trep Yeah, yeah, And then like the internet took
Speaker 6: off with it because he like whispers to him and
Speaker 6: then like Eckler like rolls his eyes like no way,
Speaker 6: and everyone thought he was saying, we're playing for the
Speaker 6: time exactly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably saw it, but yeah, that's I mean,
Speaker 1: it's crazy.
Speaker 2: Now I want to jump into Texas though. So you're
Speaker 2: a Texas boy, yeah, Dallas, Texas. Did you go to
Speaker 2: one of those high schools that had the crazy stadiums
Speaker 2: and the crazy everyone just left town, the per Diem
Speaker 2: type shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's funny. I originally grew up in Michigan.
Speaker 1: I lived in Michigan Doll I was ten, so I
Speaker 1: was whoa Lapeer Michigan like country fucking Our high school
Speaker 1: is like tying, you know what I mean, it's different.
Speaker 1: I moved to Texas and it was like holy shit,
Speaker 1: and I played six A, like the highest division, fifteen
Speaker 1: thousand damn near in the crowd packed out, like whole
Speaker 1: parking lot is tailgating, and it was crazy. I mean,
Speaker 1: the environment was like nothing I've ever seen. And then
Speaker 1: I ended up going to Eastern and we had less
Speaker 1: fans my first at least my first two years, we
Speaker 1: had less fans of my college games. I'm like, what
Speaker 1: is this shit? There's no tailgate. We were like the
Speaker 1: worst teaming college football, and I was like, fucking high
Speaker 1: school was morelet than this, But we end up changing that.
Speaker 2: That's exactly I mean, I remember when I went to
Speaker 2: Kent State.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the same thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're playing in front of three thousand people,
Speaker 2: maybe four thousand people in high school. These Texas kids.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's religion out there, and you know,
Speaker 2: but that's that's crazy to go for Michigan Texas and
Speaker 2: then your only offer was back to Eastern Michigan Michigan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and my whole family is from how come. I
Speaker 1: mean I was a late bloomer boom. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: second I mean my senior year, I was second team
Speaker 1: All district. I was a late bloomer. I grew like
Speaker 1: four inches going into my last year of high school.
Speaker 1: So I mean I was a goober. I was a
Speaker 1: middle linebacker my whole life, my whole high school career,
Speaker 1: and then I'm six almost sixty five.
Speaker 2: That's why you're so good that because I was watching
Speaker 2: all your plays. You're always good with pullers. You know
Speaker 2: how to shed block or you use quickness, you got
Speaker 2: long arms, get into them. You know that's that linebacker shit.
Speaker 1: A little bit, I mean a little bit. It's just
Speaker 1: I feel like I don't know, I've just had to adapt.
Speaker 1: Like my senior year, I was just literally trying to
Speaker 1: figure out how to play d end and my freshman year.
Speaker 1: But honestly, the most important year of my career was
Speaker 1: my freshman year when I red shirted because I lost
Speaker 1: a bunch of weight. I got a lot more athletic.
Speaker 1: I was like filling into my body, and my coach
Speaker 1: was like, no, you're fucking red shirting. I wanted to play,
Speaker 1: but he's like, you're red shirting. So the whole year
Speaker 1: I just got to go on Scout team and fucking learn,
Speaker 1: like all right, this is how I'm gonna play. I'm
Speaker 1: try and spin moves, trying just all different type of shit.
Speaker 1: And I was winning Scout team Player of the Week
Speaker 1: every week, so I was like, this is dope, Like
Speaker 1: I can play d end and that's when I really
Speaker 1: fell in love with it. So yeah, it's kind of
Speaker 1: crazy how it worked out, but I mean, it all
Speaker 1: happen for a reason.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Now, what do you think your best passion rush move is.
Speaker 1: I mean, my double swipe is like my my go
Speaker 1: to stef swipe, voodoo ride, whatever, double sweet double. Yeah,
Speaker 1: take it away a little bit. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things. I feel like my spin move, my outside
Speaker 1: spin move is when I can do it, it's dangerous.
Speaker 5: Why not.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things. I feel like I
Speaker 1: can do a lot of a lot of different moves
Speaker 1: at a high level.
Speaker 2: Though, for now, how do you work on those movies?
Speaker 2: Are you working on those moves? Because I remember I
Speaker 2: always play with defensive ends and you know, you walk
Speaker 2: down the hallway fucking robs, like walking.
Speaker 1: Passing every wall, door, corner. Yeah, that's a real thing,
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, I can't walk in the room. I
Speaker 1: mean that's every time.
Speaker 2: We had Whitworth on stud I love God love that.
Speaker 2: And he would he would talk about he felt defensive
Speaker 2: ends didn't scout their tackles. Do you scout tackles? And
Speaker 2: like what their strengths are. He can always tell if
Speaker 2: a guy watched film on him or or or.
Speaker 1: Just throwing Yeah, no, I definitely do you know. I
Speaker 1: come from a I mean, my biggest influence as a
Speaker 1: coach has been Rod Marinelly and he probably heard of him.
Speaker 1: He had Warren Sap Julius Pepper's numerous Hall of famers.
Speaker 1: I had him my second and third year, and that
Speaker 1: was my last I mean this season right here. That
Speaker 1: was my third year, and that's where I took off.
Speaker 1: And that dude is all about watching your film. Like
Speaker 1: He's like, every lineman you go against a fucking gray
Speaker 1: face black, it's nothing. They're all the same. He's like,
Speaker 1: if you do what you're supposed to do, get off, pad,
Speaker 1: level hands, fight area. If you understand all the things
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do at the best of your ability
Speaker 1: and apply it, it doesn't matter who the fuck's in front
Speaker 1: of you, and it doesn't matter what they do, they're
Speaker 1: eventually gonna get broken, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 1: that's I watch film on other guys. Of course, I
Speaker 1: try to pick up during the week, all right, who's
Speaker 1: giving away past, who's given away? Run? What little things
Speaker 1: I can pick up. But majority of the film I'm
Speaker 1: watching is my own film on repeat. I watch my
Speaker 1: practices every night and then I'll watch a game or
Speaker 1: two games, and then okay, I'll throw on this guy
Speaker 1: versus you know whoever. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I can't sit here and watch the Steelers versus Giants
Speaker 1: and expect them to block me the same way they
Speaker 1: block some other guys, because you can go into the plane. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're gonna do this and this, and then they fucking
Speaker 1: throw three people at me, you know what I mean. Like,
Speaker 1: we went to the Colts game. This, I mean, week seventeen.
Speaker 1: Robo comes up to me. Rob Ryan, one of the
Speaker 1: coolest fucking dads I've ever met, great coach. He comes
Speaker 1: up to me. All right, this is the week Colts
Speaker 1: don't they don't chip. They just they five man up.
Speaker 1: They're gonna man you and I got double team chip
Speaker 1: the whole game. Yeah, And I'm like, fuck, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. But that's why, Like I can sit
Speaker 1: there and anticipate and think they're gonna do this and whatever.
Speaker 1: But for me, if I'm at my best and I'm
Speaker 1: doing my shit at the highest level, then it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter what they do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're what they call a problem. You know, if
Speaker 2: when I was playing, we were to ever play a
Speaker 2: guy like you. You're at that caliber where you're dedicating
Speaker 2: a thirty play clip in front of the whole team
Speaker 2: and the team meeting like one of the keys to victory,
Speaker 2: which is never usually a player. But Crosby's that kind
Speaker 2: of guy where he's a problem and you can see
Speaker 2: it in the run game. You can see it in
Speaker 2: the past game. They're sending chips running backs and I
Speaker 2: saw you get through three. Now it brings me with
Speaker 2: all what you just said, all those techniques and everything
Speaker 2: no one can stop you. That all has to change,
Speaker 2: and all those schemes and all that mindset changes when
Speaker 2: you're going against the Chiefs though, right because rushing Patrick
Speaker 2: Mahomes has got to be it's got to be different.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. I mean that's the thing.
Speaker 1: Every week is a new I know, you know how
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: There's a division game though they know you, you know them,
Speaker 2: you know what they're doing, but you also know what
Speaker 2: the guy like him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2: You can't give him a gaping lane because and then
Speaker 2: he's gonna create. So you gotta be patient. You can't
Speaker 2: get back past the quarterback as the worst plays to
Speaker 2: be especially with him.
Speaker 1: It's a different it's a different battle. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the that's the thing your division guys like I see Herbert, Mahomes,
Speaker 1: all these guys over and over again, and the teams,
Speaker 1: like you said, they know each other so well, and
Speaker 1: you know that your opponent, you know exactly what they're
Speaker 1: gonna do. But it's who's going to be more prepared
Speaker 1: and who had a better week leading up to that game,
Speaker 1: who took care of their body better. It's the littlest
Speaker 1: details I think that matter, and those type of matchups
Speaker 1: because you already know what the hell they're gonna do,
Speaker 1: and you're playing a guy like Mahomes, you cannot let
Speaker 1: him breathe, you know what I mean. You have to
Speaker 1: be on his ass the whole time. Herbert's the same way.
Speaker 1: You give Herbert a little bit of breathing room, he's
Speaker 1: gonna come back and make a play. So like we
Speaker 1: preach that all the time, and that's why we were
Speaker 1: able to beat you know, at the end of the year,
Speaker 1: we beat the Chargers, beat the Broncos, beat the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: It's because we didn't let up at all, Like we
Speaker 1: were on it from the go. We got a sack,
Speaker 1: we got two sacks first drive, and we just kept rolling.
Speaker 1: And that's what you know, what you got to do
Speaker 1: with those type of quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Now in the division. Who's your guys rival? Who do
Speaker 2: you hate the most?
Speaker 1: And is it the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Because they've just been running it for a while, or
Speaker 2: is it who's who's your.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate them all. I will say that
Speaker 1: I hate the Chiefs. I hate them all in different ways.
Speaker 1: You know. The Chargers are like when their things are
Speaker 1: going well, everyone's like, oh my god, they're gonna put
Speaker 1: their front runners. We know who they are, we know
Speaker 1: who they are, and I'm gonna just be real and
Speaker 1: they know what it is. They're front runners. So yeah,
Speaker 1: they're that Chiefs. They earned it. I mean they're the
Speaker 1: best in the league. Three super Bowls. Everybody has their
Speaker 1: own opinions. They hate certain things about the Chiefs, but
Speaker 1: I respect the shit out of them until we do
Speaker 1: something about it and beat them. I mean I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta tip to cat to them. They're doing it
Speaker 1: right now. But I do this year. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's type of ship. I mean, we beat them.
Speaker 1: I beat them twice in ten times, so I can't
Speaker 1: say shit about them. I mean, I respect them, though.
Speaker 1: I definitely I love playing them. I love playing my homes.
Speaker 1: I love playing the best. It's fucking awesome. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we hate the Chiefs in a different way. They're a
Speaker 1: little bit more and they know they're that team, so
Speaker 1: they carry themselves a certain way. And then the Broncos.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a different type of hate as well.
Speaker 1: I mean I love playing the Broncos. They're probably my
Speaker 1: favorite team, to be honest, I love playing the Broncos.
Speaker 1: I've I mean, you know, every time we play them,
Speaker 1: I know it's it's about to be a big day.
Speaker 2: You don't feel the altitude up there.
Speaker 1: It's my favorite place to play my high Yeah, for
Speaker 1: some reason, I don't know, since I was a rookie,
Speaker 1: it's been my favorite place. It's different. Fucking in the mountains.
Speaker 1: You drop to drive up is like it was beautiful,
Speaker 1: it's about to go down. So yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is about there, but I love playing in Denver,
Speaker 1: and I just love playing the Broncos in general.
Speaker 2: So I fucking hated it what we lost to AFC
Speaker 2: Championships and got Damn Denver, Damn those goddam we were
Speaker 2: banking on snowy days. They were like seventy five and
Speaker 2: sunny in February and January. Who are some of the
Speaker 2: pass rushers you looked up to growing up or or
Speaker 2: who inspired you to get in this? Not get in this,
Speaker 2: but who did you model your game after?
Speaker 1: You know, my two biggest inspirations when I was a
Speaker 1: kid growing up where you know, I was a linebacker
Speaker 1: my whole life. But as far as d Lineman, I
Speaker 1: grew up a Lions fan. So Dominican Sue. He was
Speaker 1: my favorite player. The way he played nasty, mean, didn't
Speaker 1: give a damn what it was like. He was just
Speaker 1: murdering people out there. I love watching Sue. And then
Speaker 1: the other one was JJ. I love the way JJ played.
Speaker 1: He played the running pass similar and he was making
Speaker 1: just as many players in the run game as past game.
Speaker 1: And that's something that I think is super important. And
Speaker 1: that's how I feel like separates myself is that I'm
Speaker 1: making shit ton of TFLs and plays in the run
Speaker 1: game and a lot of guys are just waiting for
Speaker 1: third down so they can get it up, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like, No, that's good to hear. Yeah, that's good to
Speaker 2: hear from a star, you know, because you know, it's
Speaker 2: not easy being in every down end, Like like you said,
Speaker 2: guys that wait for that third down. They got this package,
Speaker 2: they're arrested. They they're not in every play like you know,
Speaker 2: there's some badass motherfuckers that do that. But it's it's
Speaker 2: like a relief picture.
Speaker 4: Of course, only that.
Speaker 2: Starter that goes finished a complete game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, complete inner, there's only a very select feel for Sorry, we'll.
Speaker 2: Be right back after this quick break. You're a Spider
Speaker 2: Man guy.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not into I wasn't really into that type
Speaker 1: of show when I was a kid. I like UFC
Speaker 1: and crazy shit like that. I wasn't into Marble and all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's cool, like but I mean after the Toby
Speaker 1: Maguire one, I was like, all right, I'm good with this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because this is a segment we do is where
Speaker 2: we go back in time. Let's go back around January tenth,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, now when we have like the we did,
Speaker 2: like the immaculate reception. We're talking like sixties. I mean
Speaker 2: this is two years ago, so this is you know,
Speaker 2: this is pretty new that that Spider Man movie is
Speaker 2: good for the kid though. You know a girl, dad,
Speaker 2: you know the little kid. It's it's a cartoon, right, yep?
Speaker 2: Is that cartoon No, that's not the cartoon. Wait is
Speaker 2: that the Tom Holland one of them Spider Man? Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, my bad, I'm thinking the Miles Morales. W I'm
Speaker 6: sorry about that.
Speaker 2: Is this where Rianna revealed she was pregnant at halftime show?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 4: This was uh no, no, no sorry? This was her first
Speaker 4: kid with a SAPs John.
Speaker 2: Remember John Madden died two weeks You remember that dudeend legend.
Speaker 1: No I didn't get to meet him. Man, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: dude's an icon, absolute icon.
Speaker 2: Now what what does it mean to be a Raider?
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of definitions. For me, it's
Speaker 1: about being one hundred percent yourself, being like the bad
Speaker 1: boys back in back in the Rick mo Horn Bill
Speaker 1: Ambier days. That's what I fell in love with immediately,
Speaker 1: Like when I got drafted by the Raiders, I'm like,
Speaker 1: that makes sense, you know what I mean, especially that
Speaker 1: time in my life I was figuring out who I
Speaker 1: was and going through a lot of shit, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: this makes too much sense. So yeah, being a Raiders
Speaker 1: just being different, being unapologetic about who you are, and
Speaker 1: that's what you know AP preaches heavy. It's like, be
Speaker 1: who the fuck are gonna be. It doesn't mean be
Speaker 1: a psycho or be crazy, but at the same time, like,
Speaker 1: don't be don't shy away from who you are. So
Speaker 1: I think it gives a lot of guys a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence out there.
Speaker 2: Who's the mount Rushmore of the Ray Wow, the Mount
Speaker 2: Rushmore Wow?
Speaker 1: Just players or coaches?
Speaker 2: The Raider Nation way.
Speaker 1: You gotta put Al Davis number one, Al Davis number one,
Speaker 1: you gotta put John Madden taking I mean two coaches
Speaker 1: you got to I mean, they've changed the whole game.
Speaker 1: And then players. Shit, I want to say my person,
Speaker 1: I have to go Charles Woodson, nice teammate, Charles Watson, legend.
Speaker 1: This is I mean, that's gonna pass somebody off. I literally,
Speaker 1: Howie Was. I have to go Howie. I mean, I
Speaker 1: have to go Howie. He's a fucking great dude. Legend too.
Speaker 1: He's awesome.
Speaker 2: Have you seen his movie Broken Arrow Broken?
Speaker 1: No, he's got a movie.
Speaker 2: Well, he was in a big time. He was a
Speaker 2: movie star. How long is a movie star? Like in
Speaker 2: the nineties, he walked away. He walked away from it
Speaker 2: because he didn't like doing the football pre game and
Speaker 2: doing Hollywood. He wanted to spend something. He was like
Speaker 2: in the rut of being an NFL football player where
Speaker 2: you're not spending time with your family, so he gave
Speaker 2: up Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Damn.
Speaker 2: He was doing like some big time movies with like.
Speaker 4: John Travolta, Christian Slater.
Speaker 1: Christian Slater. See, I need to do my research. That's insane.
Speaker 1: I know he was a huge star back in the day,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know he was a movie How told you?
Speaker 1: I'm twenty six, twenty six, Yeah, twenty six.
Speaker 2: Man, he's in the prime, got paid, He's gonna get
Speaker 2: another couple contracts. Now, what's up with these the Raiders fans?
Speaker 2: You're you're now you you were you were there during
Speaker 2: the transition from Oakland. Because I grew up in the Bay,
Speaker 2: I was a Niners fan. I started liking the Raiders
Speaker 2: a little when Jerry went over. I always loved Tim
Speaker 2: Brown legend, you know, you always like I loved rich
Speaker 2: Gannon because he was doing all that side arm shit.
Speaker 2: But you know, I grew up a Niners fan, so
Speaker 2: I can't give it all to the Raiders. But I
Speaker 2: remember my parents when we went and played the Raiders
Speaker 2: in like twenty ten. When you went into the Oakland
Speaker 2: or Oakland Stadium, like, and you were an opposing fans
Speaker 2: or opposing teams Jersey Like my parents had to be like, yo,
Speaker 2: we're from the Bay Area. That's our son, he's playing.
Speaker 2: You know, we gotta you know, just let everyone know.
Speaker 2: Have you had any crazy fan interactions with these guys.
Speaker 1: I mean definitely, there's I mean, Raider fans are everywhere.
Speaker 1: I mean, anywhere you go, there's gonna be Raider fans,
Speaker 1: but Oakland Raider fans are different. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: a fucking shit show. Like you're trying to pull out
Speaker 1: of the parking lot like after games and there's fans
Speaker 1: just smacking on your windows and going crazy, and it
Speaker 1: was just different. I mean, there's a million stories I
Speaker 1: could say. There's one guy, I mean that sat outside
Speaker 1: of the facility, Like there was a group of these
Speaker 1: people every day they're waiting there sign autographs, and then
Speaker 1: eventually you're like, Okay, the same guy is fucking here
Speaker 1: every single day. And so there's just one guy. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna expose him, but I'm slightly exposed, and he
Speaker 1: knows who he is. This fucking guy. I know, I
Speaker 1: hope you're watching. But he had a very unique. You
Speaker 1: knew he stood out in the crowd. I'll just say that.
Speaker 1: We end up finding out you know, hey, man, I
Speaker 1: got you both. You always had a good excuse for
Speaker 1: why he needed this thing. And then we found his
Speaker 1: fucking his website. He had a full blown memorabilia page
Speaker 1: all our ship. So I went up the next assaid
Speaker 1: what is this and he looked at me like he
Speaker 1: saw a ghost. And I was like, come on, bro.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I will sign for anybody. I'll sign for
Speaker 1: any grandma child whatever. I'm like, but come on, bro,
Speaker 1: be better. I'm like, what are we doing.
Speaker 2: That's new to the world.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you go some places and they'll send the kids.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you can.
Speaker 2: Always you can always kind of know who the autographed
Speaker 2: people are because they they kind of look like Carnies
Speaker 2: Little Carnie, yeah, you know, and they have a.
Speaker 1: Story and very unique look, all of them.
Speaker 2: And then if they're just if you're doing blanks, you know,
Speaker 2: you know you're you're dealing with that. And then it's
Speaker 2: even worse when they start bringing in the kids. I've
Speaker 2: seen kids used by these.
Speaker 1: People numerous times. And if you see the blue marker,
Speaker 1: that's the one thing I just found out a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. But the blue marker, that's the one
Speaker 1: you got. If they have a blue marker, do not
Speaker 1: sign because they can sell it. I didn't know what
Speaker 1: I knew, That's what I found out. I'm like, these
Speaker 1: motherfuckers now every time I see a blue markt I'm like,
Speaker 1: I call it out and they're like and get all awkward.
Speaker 2: I'm like, man, now, going over to Vegas.
Speaker 1: How was that amazing? I mean we went over facility.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's like the taj Mahal as Bill
Speaker 2: Belichick called it. I believe the taj mall of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean it's spectacular. Everything's right there at the stadium.
Speaker 2: But how was that like transitioning in general? Like for
Speaker 2: like fan base, shit, you know, moving out living in
Speaker 2: Vegas is completely different than than Oakland and the Bay Area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally, what's that?
Speaker 2: What was that?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: It was?
Speaker 1: I mean, it was definitely weird because we came over
Speaker 1: and that off season COVID hit, so it was March, like,
Speaker 1: everyone's out in Vegas. I'm mounted with my family, I
Speaker 1: bought a this is the fucking greatest thing ever, having
Speaker 1: the time of my life. March hits and everything shut down.
Speaker 1: So then it delayed all the process of the construction
Speaker 1: and even the facility wasn't even fully done, but we
Speaker 1: were already moved over, like there's nothing you can do now.
Speaker 1: We left Oakland. So it was weird. First season in Vegas.
Speaker 1: No fans, zero. Mark was like, no, we're so, I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, whatever, no fans. Some teams are like, okay,
Speaker 1: fifteen twenty percent. None I played that year. It was yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we played. I played against you, yeah, in
Speaker 1: New England. But yeah, it was just I mean, it
Speaker 1: was weird. It was like a scrimmage.
Speaker 2: Like scrimmage.
Speaker 4: It was just weird.
Speaker 1: That's the only way it is.
Speaker 2: Never in a pro game. It kind of low key
Speaker 2: reminded me of some of them Kent State games. I
Speaker 2: haven't felt that in a minute, where like if you
Speaker 2: can hear the other team, like yo, you can hear
Speaker 2: your boys clapping for you, and shit, that's when you know, like, oh,
Speaker 2: we're a scrimmage.
Speaker 1: It was different. I mean, you just guys having a
Speaker 1: conversation in the huddle and new get here everything.
Speaker 2: What type of Mark Davis Mark? I mean Mark, he's
Speaker 2: he was a cool dude. To me, and I mean
Speaker 2: Al Davis guy. You know, he was a pioneer in
Speaker 2: a cornerstone of this league from becoming a you know,
Speaker 2: he was a coach and then he shoots you know
Speaker 2: how he got the team? I mean he did a
Speaker 2: bad as single. What what's Mark like?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Mark's a good dude. He's a really nice dude. I
Speaker 1: mean he's been He's been awesome. I mean ever since
Speaker 1: I got in the league. I mean there's not many
Speaker 1: owners that you can say that smokes cigars with their
Speaker 1: players and ship like that. And I mean Marco hit
Speaker 1: me up and will smoke a cigar and shoot the
Speaker 1: ship and not much, not much. I mean he's in
Speaker 1: Vegas full time, but I don't know what he does
Speaker 1: to be honest. But yeah, I mean and me and
Speaker 1: Mark are cool.
Speaker 2: Now when he when he comes in, does he have
Speaker 2: does he have a cup of coffee? There's always you
Speaker 2: always see the owner with something. They always have something
Speaker 2: they always bring in, like you know, Jerry Jones eating
Speaker 2: what is a McMuffin assaulting that bad boy a little
Speaker 2: little extra signature Miaster Kraft always had the dunkin donuts.
Speaker 2: W What's Mark got?
Speaker 1: Mark is the fanny pack, fanny pack, the fanny pack.
Speaker 1: He wears some new balances, the washed jeans, a white
Speaker 1: like uh like pullover type deal raiders, and then he'll
Speaker 1: have maybe a jacket on, but he always has the
Speaker 1: white fanny pack. This thing is like from the eighties.
Speaker 1: You could tell leather like. The thing has gone through
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 2: What's in that fanny pack?
Speaker 1: I don't know, that is a great question. He probably
Speaker 1: has keys, chapstick, sunblock. It's probably three three main items. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the essential she bro Al had a cool look too.
Speaker 4: Ill had a great look.
Speaker 2: I always jumpsuit, I was fresh croakies. He had bedazzled
Speaker 2: croakies and the flashes. The hair would be halfway in
Speaker 2: the air.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's I mean he had like custom bracelets
Speaker 1: that said al on him and everything to do to was.
Speaker 1: He was a legend.
Speaker 2: I fucking I miss how Davis. All right, Hey, Jackie
Speaker 2: set the stage for this game. Let's get into it.
Speaker 6: Should we run back in time here real quick and
Speaker 6: contextualize this season a little bit. Let's get through the
Speaker 6: Chargers are real quick. First year of the Brandon Stay era.
Speaker 6: Short lived era, but kind of memorable for all you
Speaker 6: fourth down fans. This was also a record for fourth
Speaker 6: down conversions twenty two of thirty four on the season.
Speaker 6: A little bit of foreshadowing for this game. Also a
Speaker 6: little bit of foreshadowing the thirty second ranked rush defense.
Speaker 6: There's a reason Josh Jacobs eight in this game. Some
Speaker 6: other dudes we got to run through on this team,
Speaker 6: the Pro Bowlers, Herbert Keenan Allen, Corey Lindsay, Rashawn Slater,
Speaker 6: Joey Bosa, Derwin James, some other guys you might know
Speaker 6: with Sante, Samuel Junior, Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer's rookie season
Speaker 6: and started out hot four and one, finished five and seven.
Speaker 6: The front runner mentality and I come in through here.
Speaker 2: Also big road victories.
Speaker 6: Over the Bengals in the Chiefs that would be the
Speaker 6: AFC Championship game this year. So it's worth noting justin
Speaker 6: Herbert was also balling that year. First Charger to throw
Speaker 6: over five thousand yards in the season.
Speaker 2: Wow, John Harball, What's what's he is he gonna is?
Speaker 2: He gonna make them better?
Speaker 4: Jimmy or John jim whatever?
Speaker 2: I played against John for so many goddamn in my head,
Speaker 2: we play the Ravens every year twice and we we
Speaker 2: were in the same division, we played in the playoffs
Speaker 2: and you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, you guys had classic battles all time classic.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Harball's I mean, he's a great coach. Everywhere
Speaker 1: he's gone, he's had success. So I mean, at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, doesn't matter. You know, we got
Speaker 1: to be at our best and that's all that really matters.
Speaker 1: But I expect them to be better.
Speaker 2: Run.
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball, They're gonna play action, play hard,
Speaker 1: nos defense. They're gonna look a lot different.
Speaker 2: They're gonna look a lot different, a lot different, which
Speaker 2: is a lot different, like preparing for a Brandon Staley,
Speaker 2: which is completely different.
Speaker 1: Shotgun launched that motherfucker.
Speaker 2: I think Justin it's gonna make Justin Herbert very good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's gonna take a I think it's gonna help
Speaker 1: him out a lot.
Speaker 2: Now, who's the tackle that you always you're always going
Speaker 2: against in Chargers.
Speaker 1: Last two years has been Pipkins, Trey Pipkins and Slater.
Speaker 1: This year was Storm Norton, Storm Norton, Toledo Mac Guy
Speaker 1: Mac Daddy played him in college and uh yeah, it
Speaker 1: was it was something.
Speaker 2: Now when you when you're playing against a division rival,
Speaker 2: but be a team in this you know, this year,
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa, he was bawling out, you know, Like I
Speaker 2: would always look over across the sideline if I saw
Speaker 2: a cool receiver, I'd be like, I want to help
Speaker 2: perform this motherfucker. That is that your mindset?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. I mean when I was younger, especially,
Speaker 1: I was like, I need to help play him this game.
Speaker 1: Like I used to really think about it. But then
Speaker 1: sometimes that would be over. I would be thinking too much.
Speaker 1: Me It's like, yeah, you can't. It's like it's a
Speaker 1: young guy thing.
Speaker 4: For sure.
Speaker 1: It's definitely fucked them, but I don't think about it
Speaker 1: as much, you know what I mean. But I go
Speaker 1: into the game like especially. I mean every game is important,
Speaker 1: but game like this is like everything. I mean, you win,
Speaker 1: you're in. So yeah, I look over there, like these motherfuckers.
Speaker 2: Winning gain that's a playoff game. Set the stage for
Speaker 2: the Raiders, Jackie.
Speaker 4: All right, let's run through these rough ru. I thought
Speaker 4: the Stameno was great there, Oh my.
Speaker 2: God, that competitive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was impressed. It's a lot of that on
Speaker 4: the golf course this morning. Yeah, right, locked in baby.
Speaker 2: All right, as Max.
Speaker 6: We were shaking a baby as Max a little at
Speaker 6: to earlier. This was a second year in Vegas, worth
Speaker 6: noting the first year with fans A Llegia was rocking,
Speaker 6: especially on this night. This was also a team that
Speaker 6: won four overtime games, a little bit of foreshadowing for
Speaker 6: this game. Also, I feel like every time I turned
Speaker 6: the TV on, it was Derek Carr leading some crazy
Speaker 6: four fourth down overtime conversion something. This was also its
Speaker 6: season with some ups and downs. We saw coach Gruden left,
Speaker 6: Rich Basacia took over. There was also some off the
Speaker 6: field incidents with with Henry Ruggs.
Speaker 1: I mean this looking those lists like this all happened
Speaker 1: in one year is fucking crazy.
Speaker 2: Like it's one of those.
Speaker 6: Things where I feel like this would have sunk a
Speaker 6: lot of teams, but you guys making it to the playoffs.
Speaker 2: That's tough.
Speaker 4: A testament to that locker.
Speaker 6: Room and that squad were there, like uh, we talked
Speaker 6: on here the other week with Matthew Slater of having
Speaker 6: State of the Union meetings with the players, like were
Speaker 6: there like any pivotal like we like players only.
Speaker 4: Meeting, Like how are we getting through this? Ship kind
Speaker 4: of kind of talks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, after the whole Gruden thing happened. We
Speaker 1: I mean we went to go play Chicago the week
Speaker 1: before and they leaked one of the emails and they
Speaker 1: was talking about some guy whatever, and then it was
Speaker 1: just like you could tell Gruden was so sick about
Speaker 1: it and like he I mean he would tell you
Speaker 1: himself like he was not ready to call a game,
Speaker 1: and everybody kind of felt that. And then after we lose.
Speaker 1: We lose to Chicago with a rookie Justin Fields couldn't
Speaker 1: score at all. And after that game, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: fucking the floodgates open, mainly all the emails come out,
Speaker 1: all this shit, so like all hell breaks loose, and
Speaker 1: I mean I'm getting calls from may I, calls from
Speaker 1: different people that're like, I mean, did he.
Speaker 2: Lose the locker room? Did some guys get mad? Or
Speaker 2: did were guys Like.
Speaker 1: It wasn't necessarily about like fuck this much. It wasn't
Speaker 1: like fuck coach Gruten. It was just like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of the season, You're like, what
Speaker 1: the fuck, Like there's i mean, there's no way you
Speaker 1: can rationalize it or how the fun. It's from twelve
Speaker 1: years ago, you know what I mean, like eleven years
Speaker 1: ago something crazy. Everyone's just like, what the fuck? And
Speaker 1: Gruden has real relationships. I love John. I mean John Gruden,
Speaker 1: he knows he fucking said some shit. He I mean,
Speaker 1: everybody has shit they regret just saying crazy shit. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying what he said was right at all, and
Speaker 1: he'll say the same thing. But John Gruden is a
Speaker 1: fucking good dude. I love Coach Gruden, and I mean
Speaker 1: he's like family to me. So yeah it sucked. You're like,
Speaker 1: this is a dude that drafted me, fucking got a
Speaker 1: great relationship. I know, his wife, his family, his kids,
Speaker 1: his son works as our strength coach, like, and he's
Speaker 1: fucking still in the building to this day. So it's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, they're family to me. So we deuced exactly
Speaker 1: deuce as fucking stout as they come. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: was crazy. I mean, that whole thing went down, and
Speaker 1: it happened so fast, and the next day I'm literally
Speaker 1: with my wife in Gruden's house, like he's sitting like
Speaker 1: the Godfather in his beautiful, massive house, just sitting there
Speaker 1: in the corner tears and he would just shook it.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, damn like, and I'm feeling for him
Speaker 1: because you know, he feels stupid, he's being attacked, he's whatever.
Speaker 1: But we had to keep going. I mean, it happened.
Speaker 1: Rich came in and Rich is like, that's what we're gonna.
Speaker 2: Do with that last name.
Speaker 1: But Basayasachia fucking love that guy, Basacia. Yeah, we call
Speaker 1: him Rich though. I mean I still talked to him.
Speaker 1: I just faced on a couple of days ago. I
Speaker 1: talked to him all the time.
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys showed mental toughness by dealing with
Speaker 2: everything he did and by putting your team in position
Speaker 2: to go out and make the playoffs in the last
Speaker 2: game of the year against the division.
Speaker 4: Rival and four game win streak.
Speaker 2: I mean, that was. I remember watching it and just
Speaker 2: you know, talking about you guys that year. It was,
Speaker 2: it was, it was. That's impressive, because that's it's very hard.
Speaker 2: That's what people don't realize is when you're a pro athlete,
Speaker 2: you're a regular person, and you have a lot of
Speaker 2: ship that you have to deal with off the field,
Speaker 2: and then there's a lot of ship that you have
Speaker 2: to deal with on the field, and if the ship
Speaker 2: you're dealing with on the field has a lot of
Speaker 2: like bullshit in it, there's already so much of you
Speaker 2: you're juggling mentally, and it's tough. And to put your
Speaker 2: team in the position to go out and make the
Speaker 2: playoffs in this game was awesome. Now what what it old?
Speaker 2: Rich Pavia I can't I went to can't stay. Yeah, Now,
Speaker 2: when he took over, you guys got that jolt. Is
Speaker 2: it similar to the jolt that you guys?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: It kind of reminded me when Ap took over.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys got a jolt, interim bump, Yeah.
Speaker 1: The interim joelt. I mean they're both very different. I mean,
Speaker 1: rich Our our whole locker room and every the whole
Speaker 1: dynamic was totally different when we had Gruden. It's not
Speaker 1: like our our culture was like toxic or anything like that,
Speaker 1: and it wasn't like this big divide in the locker
Speaker 1: room and ship like that. So it was just like damn,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? And we just i mean everybody he
Speaker 1: loves rich like he's the most respected dude on the
Speaker 1: in the whole organization, like plain and simple. So when
Speaker 1: he took over, we're like fuck, it. Let's go fucking
Speaker 1: win for rich. Yeah, and then the Henry shit happened
Speaker 1: a week later. We're like, holy fuck. And then there
Speaker 1: was later in the year another guy on our team,
Speaker 1: do you y? And then all like there was just
Speaker 1: one thing after another. But the thing was our team
Speaker 1: just kept getting closer and closer and closer, and we
Speaker 1: hit that that breaking point. We're six and seven. We
Speaker 1: had just lost to like the fucking Washington or some shit,
Speaker 1: and we had a meeting and everybody talked it out.
Speaker 1: We're like, all right, this is it. Like we either
Speaker 1: just gonna fucking ride this out and be you know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is, We'll get a new coach
Speaker 1: and whatever, or we're gonna fucking make a change. And
Speaker 1: I remember Rod Marinelli, fucking best coach I've ever had.
Speaker 1: He walked in our d line room and he's like, so,
Speaker 1: you guys know, we're winning these next four games. If
Speaker 1: you want to fucking be a part of that, we're
Speaker 1: fucking all in. This is what we're gonna do today.
Speaker 1: This is how we're gonna get one step closer. He
Speaker 1: broke it all down to us, and we're like, all right, like,
Speaker 1: let's fucking do it like we were at that point
Speaker 1: where it was like, this ship is over with you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you're six and seven, no coach,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? It was like, but Mayor
Speaker 1: and Nelly convinced us up front. Everybody on the team believed,
Speaker 1: and we fucking just started knocking him down one at
Speaker 1: a time. And I mean it came down to this game.
Speaker 2: So it was it was a crazy yeah, yeah, crazy
Speaker 2: Jackie breakdown this game all right, before we before.
Speaker 6: We get into this game. We're gonna in this this season.
Speaker 6: On another positive note, we talked Jay Glazer earlier. I'm
Speaker 6: gonna glaze up Max.
Speaker 4: Here a little bit pause.
Speaker 6: Fifty six total tackles, fifty six total tackles, what sacks?
Speaker 6: Seven pass deflections? Just got to give the flowers here,
Speaker 6: real quick pause on the glazing.
Speaker 2: Sorry.
Speaker 4: That was wow. That was wild. It was like, yeah,
Speaker 4: oh my god, we gotta give this sat.
Speaker 1: The stats.
Speaker 4: Come on, man, Yeah, that's what happened.
Speaker 1: It was a fucking Chiefs game. You also, Washington, we
Speaker 1: got murdered by the Chiefs and that was like, all right,
Speaker 1: what the fuck are we about to with this?
Speaker 3: With this coach talk, Can we talk a little about
Speaker 3: coach Danny A. Mondola real quick.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, COACHLA great dude. I love coach Dola is
Speaker 1: a legend. I love Danny. He's cool ship. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know how he is. He's out there fucking running
Speaker 1: rounds all year like he's a part of the team,
Speaker 1: routing motherfuckers. Looks like you could play right now. But
Speaker 1: he's cool. He's cool as how. I know he's not.
Speaker 1: He's not with us anymore, but Daniel RP. But he's
Speaker 1: a legend. All rights the stuff.
Speaker 4: You followed Danny on Instagram?
Speaker 1: What his male model?
Speaker 2: I think he honestly, because he took like a three
Speaker 2: year social period like break yeah, and then as soon
Speaker 2: as he became a coach, he got back on the ground.
Speaker 2: I think he became a coach to get back on
Speaker 2: the gram to.
Speaker 4: Have the career.
Speaker 2: You know, the butt shots were usually he looked like
Speaker 2: a player. My guys, all doll though.
Speaker 3: He had more than bust shots.
Speaker 5: He had a field shots shots.
Speaker 1: He's breaking team down consistent. You know what's even crazy,
Speaker 1: My brother and him are signed. My brother is a
Speaker 1: fucking model and they're signed to the same Ford Model
Speaker 1: Swear to god, they're the same agent.
Speaker 4: And everything.
Speaker 1: Weirdest random connection ever.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're competing for jobs, competing for jobing, Dola, Dola. Yeah,
Speaker 2: what's a game plan for Herbert in this game?
Speaker 1: Herbert? I mean up front it was we're gonna win
Speaker 1: the game. Rush them. They can't block us, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna just I mean torment them. And that's what we did.
Speaker 1: I mean, we had the best game, overall, complete game
Speaker 1: we played all year. We fucking destroyed them upfront, absolutely
Speaker 1: destroyed them, and they still I mean kept it super close.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, but Herbert's tough. I respect the shit
Speaker 1: out of him. He's a dog.
Speaker 2: He got some dogs in that conference. Now, dog Jackie,
Speaker 2: what do you got?
Speaker 4: All Right, we're gonna get through this game.
Speaker 6: Lead up we've talked about a little bit, but we
Speaker 6: gotta say the playoff implications that came with this game.
Speaker 6: You're in tie, you're both also in, but a tie
Speaker 6: would knock the Steelers out. So Steeler fans were just
Speaker 6: praying it didn't end in a tie. They were they
Speaker 6: were Chargers fans, they were Raiders fans. They weren't tie fans.
Speaker 6: No kissing sisters tonight.
Speaker 4: Baby, this was a ti. They didn't want to tie,
Speaker 4: but you gotta say, you got to lay that out there.
Speaker 3: But all the NFL was kind of the NFL fans
Speaker 3: were rooting for a time.
Speaker 4: We never see them.
Speaker 1: It'd be crazy why people were talking about that all week,
Speaker 1: and it almost fucking happened. That's okay, I remember that actually,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, we're sitting there were like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what the fuck, this actually might happen right now, and
Speaker 1: that would have been worse. Yeah, scripted, but that would
Speaker 1: have been worse. Fuck that I'd rather lose than both
Speaker 1: of us. Fuck that, send them home with you. That's
Speaker 1: when I heard that we were potentially I'm like, what
Speaker 1: fuck that? You die on your sword? You go all in.
Speaker 1: We're gonna either win or we're losing the ship. We're
Speaker 1: not both going. We're not sending them on, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, give them a Handout'd be like I
Speaker 1: were taking a knee, you sun those fuckers, and.
Speaker 2: You guys were extremely hyped for going into this game.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is win getting Like, do you remember
Speaker 2: anything in that week of preparation? Any any coach says,
Speaker 2: you know, any what's going on that week to get
Speaker 2: you guys to know what this is really about, because
Speaker 2: you guys are a pretty young team.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we're young. I mean we won three
Speaker 1: games in a row at that point, and we knew
Speaker 1: what it was. Rich came in like he was so
Speaker 1: calm and everyone was so calm. That's why I feel
Speaker 1: like we were able to win and go on that
Speaker 1: run because there was no anxiety. There wasn't panic. Rich
Speaker 1: Literally the first thing he said to me going into
Speaker 1: that last week, He's like, we're going to win this game.
Speaker 1: He's like, we're going to win this game one way
Speaker 1: or another. He's like, we're gonna find a way. So
Speaker 1: they I have no doubt in my mind. We just
Speaker 1: got to go out there and do our thing whatever.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. I'm like, yeah, there's no
Speaker 1: Chargers are not beating us. There's no fucking way. So
Speaker 1: that was in my head. I'm like, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: out there and I don't care my fucking heart stops.
Speaker 1: There's We're gonna find a way. That's really what it.
Speaker 1: I mean when it came down. So it was fucking crazy.
Speaker 2: The baby, Yeah, that Division game, Wing game, I.
Speaker 4: Know, it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, every national like the only game on at night.
Speaker 1: That ship was crazy.
Speaker 4: It got flexed to Sunday Night football.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Sunday night football. I had fucking people in my neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Steelers fans put up big signs in the neighborhood as
Speaker 1: you leave the gate, thank you, we love you, guys,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: Ghost.
Speaker 1: I was wondering if that was seven, like the biggest
Speaker 1: Steeler blow up thing. I'm like, what the fuck? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the game meant a lot.
Speaker 3: If they were classy like Bills fans, that would have
Speaker 3: donated to a charity of your honor.
Speaker 4: Yeah the fuck the classiest bunch of fans, Bills.
Speaker 1: Fans, Yeah, class.
Speaker 6: On this night, a legion was rocking. Vegas got out
Speaker 6: ten nothing like Max said.
Speaker 4: They were flying around.
Speaker 2: Out there starfast.
Speaker 6: Then Chargers responded with a pair of Eckler touchdowns. They
Speaker 6: Josh Shacobs touchdown. The Raiders got out to a seventeen
Speaker 6: to fourteen lead at the half, built that lead up
Speaker 6: to twenty nine to fourteen. Then in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 6: somehow that lead just slipped away and there were all
Speaker 6: these miracle drives that seemed like where Herbert was getting
Speaker 6: voted first down after fourth down after fourth down and
Speaker 6: ultimately came down to throwing that Mike Williams touchdown with
Speaker 6: no time left on the clock to send this thing
Speaker 6: into overtime. Throughout the game, Daniel Carlson five field goals.
Speaker 6: I mean, this guy's leg was gonna fall off. He
Speaker 6: was kicking so many damn field goals. The Chargers were
Speaker 6: also six.
Speaker 4: Of seven on fourth down.
Speaker 6: And then in overtime, these guys were trading field goal
Speaker 6: after field goal.
Speaker 2: Well, you only get one and then its sudden death. No,
Speaker 2: this was a new playoff rules.
Speaker 6: So we had a Carlson field goal, then we had
Speaker 6: a Chargers field goal Dustin Hopkins.
Speaker 4: Then a lot of football, a lot of football out of.
Speaker 6: Football times, running down times, running down, a lot of
Speaker 6: Josh Shacobs balling out seven sixty nine yards in ot alone,
Speaker 6: and then you get to that third down play third
Speaker 6: and five, with like it was like thirty nine seconds left.
Speaker 6: Staley calls the time out. We go back to Jacobs,
Speaker 6: pounds it up the middle for like thirteen, gets the
Speaker 6: first down. We're in field goal range, run that thing down,
Speaker 6: and Daniel Carlson ends it with a forty seven yarder.
Speaker 4: The Raiders are going to the playoffs.
Speaker 3: The Chargers aren't in your face brand, and the Steelers too, and.
Speaker 4: The Steelers two shout out Steeler.
Speaker 2: Nation, Steeler Nation. Geez. Now, defensive side of the bench,
Speaker 2: you guys are chilling there, well, offenses out there. Yep,
Speaker 2: what do you guys? You guys are all talk ling.
Speaker 2: Are we gonna score? What did you guys know the plan?
Speaker 1: We had no doubts that we're going to try to
Speaker 1: win the game. We had no idea that that was
Speaker 1: even a thing. So yeah, and our heads were like,
Speaker 1: I mean, we just need to get a field goal, right,
Speaker 1: We're that close, We're right there. So we're like, I mean,
Speaker 1: we had no idea, so it just seemed normal. Boom
Speaker 1: Carlson went kicked the field goal. And then after the
Speaker 1: fact we end up finding out that all this controversy
Speaker 1: and they were kind of take a knee and shit,
Speaker 1: and we're like, what the fuck, But that's what it.
Speaker 4: Is, Yes, it is what it is.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, that's that's ridiculous. Crazy aftermath, the Raiders
Speaker 2: would make the postseason for the first time since twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: Crosby named Week eighteen's Defensive Player of the Week. Old
Speaker 2: coach Rich first interim head coach to make the playoffs
Speaker 2: since Bruce arians twenty twelve. Is that the Colts? That
Speaker 2: was cold.
Speaker 4: That was when he took over for guy.
Speaker 2: We were playing for ot talk that was going that
Speaker 2: was going around. That was fucking everywhere. I was so
Speaker 2: sick of talking about it on inside the NFL. Las
Speaker 2: Vegas would lose to Cincinnati in the AFC Wild Card Round.
Speaker 2: What was that like playing in the first playoff game,
Speaker 2: playing against a team that would then go on to
Speaker 2: represent the conference the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was amazing. Yeah, I mean just the energy.
Speaker 1: I know you've been in a million playoff games, but
Speaker 1: that energy was just different. Hostile, drunken Cincinnati locals just
Speaker 1: fucking screaming in your ear. I was motherfucking fans almost
Speaker 1: got in trouble. There's I mean videos, I'm fuck you up.
Speaker 1: I'm just going I was in a different places mentally.
Speaker 1: But it was incredible. I mean, it was so the
Speaker 1: environment was crazy. And we almost beat them too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we took them right down to the last possession of
Speaker 1: the game, and then they fucking ended up going to
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. Like we were that confident, Like we
Speaker 1: went to that game where like we fucking win, Like
Speaker 1: I mean, we could beat anybody right now. That's how
Speaker 1: we felt. And then you see them go to the
Speaker 1: super Bowl, You're like, shit, we really could have I
Speaker 1: mean went on a serious run.
Speaker 2: So that playoff speed just a little faster in it.
Speaker 4: It's a little different.
Speaker 1: Every play matters, every little more, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: every detail matters.
Speaker 2: There's no business decisions, no, And even if you're a
Speaker 2: guy that plays hard when everyone not, everyone's like that.
Speaker 2: Everyone in the playoffs is playing like that, ye balls
Speaker 2: of the wall, and you know it's crazy. You know,
Speaker 2: I played a lot of playoff games, so you play
Speaker 2: teams that hungry teams, young teams like you. Like, like
Speaker 2: you said, when you're a young player, you're looking across
Speaker 2: the the sideline, you're looking at the other guy. You know,
Speaker 2: when you're when you're you've been there, you've seen it.
Speaker 2: You know that. All right, this thing is probably go
Speaker 2: to the end. Just relax these first two quarters. It's
Speaker 2: about trying to last that whole game. Yeah, and you
Speaker 2: know I mean that you guys. I'm excited for what
Speaker 2: you guys are going to do this year. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm excited. No, doubt. What are you going to do
Speaker 2: with quarterback?
Speaker 1: That's the ultimate question. I mean there's a lot of rumors.
Speaker 1: I supposedly we're trading up, but we'll see. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's no guarantee. We signed Menshield. He's a good, a
Speaker 1: good you know, guy to step in and either be
Speaker 1: a backup or start and you know for the time being,
Speaker 1: So we'll see. I mean, I think we're gonna draft
Speaker 1: somebody though, if you know, if I was a betting man,
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Living in Vegas, oh yeah, I bet.
Speaker 1: I bet other things sports, and I mean not obviously NFL,
Speaker 1: so if you're watching.
Speaker 5: This, don't fuck it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I bet fights. I mean I love beout
Speaker 1: in UFCS and MBA, you know.
Speaker 2: Things like that. That UFC in Miami.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was supposed to go to that, dude, It's
Speaker 1: Miami is a different type of energy. That shit is fun.
Speaker 2: But just the whole environment of UFC was like the show.
Speaker 2: I've been to a lot. You know, you go to shows,
Speaker 2: you go to super Bowl, you gottle games, you go
Speaker 2: to basketball. Like, the whole environment was fucking it.
Speaker 1: Was cool, crazy, good atmosphere, great atmosphere.
Speaker 2: This is clearly the wildest game you've played in your
Speaker 2: pro career.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's definitely it's got to be number one,
Speaker 1: just because of how important the game was. There was
Speaker 1: a couple other ones. I mean, that season alone, I
Speaker 1: think it's out on therefore overtime wins. So yeah, Like
Speaker 1: the first game of the year was damn near just
Speaker 1: as crazy as the last one. We played Baltimore on
Speaker 1: Monday night to open the season and it was a
Speaker 1: fucking crazy overtime win, walk off to Za Jones to
Speaker 1: win the game, and that shit was back and forth,
Speaker 1: back and forth, craziness the whole time. So yeah, that
Speaker 1: whole year, that was just fucking crazy games, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was wild.
Speaker 2: Is Vegas becoming an ultimate sports city or what you
Speaker 2: guys about to get basketball a's are coming over to join.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be the greatest. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it's already the greatest city in the country, let alone,
Speaker 1: damn near the world. Yeah, once you bring in two
Speaker 1: more sports major sports teams, I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be the most the greatest sports town in the country.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at it. The Raiders are already
Speaker 1: the Raiders, Like that's all time. That's legendary.
Speaker 2: They love sports, though, don't they.
Speaker 4: They love sports.
Speaker 1: The fucking Golden Knights come in, Yeah, win a title,
Speaker 1: the Aces WNBA two back to back. Then you bring
Speaker 1: in a basketball team, and I know there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot of people involved with that, big people. And
Speaker 1: then MLB as well. I mean, Vegas is already like
Speaker 1: the number one destination everyone wants to go. You bring
Speaker 1: in more sports teams, I think it's just gonna keep
Speaker 1: getting crazy and crazy, Jackie.
Speaker 4: We got any leftovers, pretty pretty clean episode.
Speaker 6: We were on the money. I'm over here talking about
Speaker 6: this game. I'm talking about Daniel Carlson. I didn't even
Speaker 6: get through Max's stats.
Speaker 4: Man. He's week. He's a AFC Player of the Week.
Speaker 6: Six tackles, three tackles for lost, four quarterback hits, eleven pressures,
Speaker 6: two sacks, three passes deflected.
