Not really, I 63 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: don't mind like a series, but that's your literally all 64 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 2: we do. You know, we get and that's not you 65 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: don't really feel mentally ready for a game like that. 66 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 2: For me, I don't think I do. I'm not gonna 67 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: speak for everybody else. I don't know. How do we 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: start my rookie year? Did we play in this preseason? 69 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 5: I don't know. 70 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 2: What about what about the next year? Did we play preseason? 71 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: About the following year? We played that preseason. Sound like 72 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: we need to play preseason. 73 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 6: Huh. 74 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: I mean, y'all found your own answer. I just asked 75 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: you a question. Y'all told me to answer. I can 76 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 2: say I wasn't mentally ready to. 77 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: Be on the field. 78 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: I was in my own head. 79 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. 80 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: I wanted to play, but I was in my own head. 81 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 7: I'm not sure. Do we have Zach Taylor talking about 82 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 7: it as well? 83 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 4: All right, we don't have Zach, and listen, that's good 84 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 4: enough right there hearing from Jamar. But Zach Taylor also 85 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 4: had some interesting things to say about it. But fellas 86 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: I've often said this and so many people push back 87 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 4: on me, in terms of participating in the preseason, you 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 4: can work out hard, and you know, obviously workout culture 89 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 4: is very different now than what it was when we played. 90 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: A lot of guys would play themselves into game shape 91 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 4: by the time they got too regular seasons in the 92 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 4: preseason and training camp. While you know, some guys they 93 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 4: came in and they're just always ready to go. But 94 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 4: one thing that I always say, and we heard Jamar 95 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 4: Chase say, like the mental aspect of it, I just 96 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: feel like you got to get out there. You gotta play. 97 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: You gotta have real competitive reps in the game. Now 98 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 4: you ain't got to play a whole game. In fact, 99 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 4: when we played, I believe the third game was the 100 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 4: only preseason game that veterans really played hard, like this 101 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 4: is the game. We're approaching like it is a regular game. 102 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 4: Our preparation during the week is like it's a regular game. 103 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 4: Our our practice habits are like it's a regular game. 104 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: And then we play the first half of the game 105 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 4: and maybe the first series, maybe the first series of 106 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 4: the third quarter, just to get your body acclimated to 107 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 4: what it feels like coming out of halftime and playing 108 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 4: a series coming out of halftime, and then you're done, 109 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: and I feel like that's it's been fourth preseason games. 110 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 4: I always felt like that was a proper approach. You 111 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 4: play play the first few series played, Play the first 112 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 4: quarter in the first first preseason game, second preseason game, 113 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: play the first quarter, part of the second quarter in 114 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: the in the second preseason game. But I really believe 115 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 4: some of the starts that some of these teams have had, 116 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 4: and including the Bengals, because they they ended up finishing 117 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 4: out strong. I think that preseason being changed and coaches 118 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 4: approaching it the way that they're approaching it and devinizing, 119 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 4: devising however we want. It's not a word, but I'm 120 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 4: gonna try to play with it, you know, doing that 121 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: with the players, don't I don't think it's productive, fellas, 122 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 4: I really don't. Man. 123 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 5: I'll say this Number one, nobody wants to play the preseason. 124 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 5: Even when we were playing. I don't know about y'all too. 125 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 5: I didn't want to plan the preseason. Yeah, you can't 126 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,479 Speaker 5: get up for that game because you know the game 127 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 5: doesn't matter, and so you going through the motions. But 128 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 5: for everybody, and at least for the old heads as 129 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 5: they would call us, we'd play a series, maybe two. 130 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 5: In the first game, you'd play two to three series. 131 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 5: In a second game, you'd play into the third quarter. 132 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 5: The third game probably a series after halftime you wouldn't 133 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 5: play at all. The fourth game, where you may play 134 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 5: a series. May Maybe things are different now because we 135 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 5: would go to training camp. Let me give you this analogy. 136 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 5: With a full tank of gas. We leave training camp 137 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 5: with three quarters of a tank, and the coaches wonder 138 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 5: why we ain't never get back to a full tank, 139 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 5: because you guys are killing us in training camp. I 140 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 5: mean my fourth day training camp, I could barely walk. 141 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 5: I'm like, how am I gonna How am I gonna run? 142 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 5: I can't even walk. They don't do that any longer. 143 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 5: Those practices the way we used to have them, they 144 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 5: are no longer the same, and so the coaches back then, 145 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 5: I felt like we're doing too much, but that was 146 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 5: that's all they knew. Now science is telling them today 147 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 5: you don't have to do that, you shouldn't do that, 148 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 5: and so the coaches aren't doing it. But if you're 149 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: the Bengals and Zach Taylor, you've gotten off to slow starts, 150 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 5: and the definition of insanity is keep doing the same 151 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 5: thing thinking you're gonna get a different rule. So you 152 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 5: gotta play in the preseason now because your slow starts 153 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 5: are costing you playoff appearances. You just look at it. 154 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 5: New England probably had one of the worst rosters in 155 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 5: the league last year. Beat you in Game one, you 156 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 5: win that game, you're in the playoffs. And so just 157 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 5: for their psyche, they got to get out there in 158 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 5: the preseason, whether it's a series or two, just so 159 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 5: they can feel good about themselves going into the regular season. 160 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 5: I don't believe it's going to help them physically, but 161 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 5: mentally it may. 162 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 3: I think it's a different day and age. 163 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 6: You know, I came up, you know, being drafted to 164 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 6: the Pittsburgh still is in the training camp, you know, 165 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,839 Speaker 6: twenty five years ago, it was a lot different than 166 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 6: what it is now. Like you said, a lot of 167 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 6: these things are based off of analysis and science and 168 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 6: what works and what doesn't. I think a few years 169 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 6: ago Sean McVay started this whole thing. The guys weren't 170 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 6: going to play in the training camps and end up 171 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 6: winning the Super Bowl. So everybody adopted his approach in 172 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 6: the preseason. But it's like TJ said, you get down two, 173 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 6: you know, in the first part of the season, and 174 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 6: those are those games that are knocking some of these 175 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 6: teams out of the playoffs. You gotta think about this, 176 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 6: some of these guys don't make the playoffs, so their 177 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 6: season is over. What Christmas, first week of January. Then 178 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 6: you go through a mini camp of OTA and a 179 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 6: training camp, and you don't play in the preseason, and 180 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 6: you get out there on the first regular season game 181 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 6: the week after the Labor Day and you have not 182 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 6: tackled anybody in almost about ten months. 183 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 5: It doesn't work that way. Football is not. 184 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 6: The kind of sport to where you can take nine 185 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 6: ten months off and walk on the football field and 186 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 6: expect to, you know, get back to the form that 187 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 6: you were last year. First of all, it didn't even 188 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 6: make the playoffs. So I don't know, I don't know 189 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 6: how you expect your team to be any better going 190 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 6: into the season if they don't get any reps. And 191 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 6: just like you know, the training count was different to 192 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 6: the point to where, all right, guys, the first game 193 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 6: we're gonna play ten plays, second game, we're gonna play 194 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 6: one series. If you guys go three and out, you 195 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 6: guys out third game, you're going to play the first 196 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 6: half and half of the third. But if we would 197 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 6: were to go out on a you know, a three 198 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 6: in out and that second game back out. 199 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 5: You come back out, Yeah right, yeah, you're coming back 200 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 5: out and that and that and that week of hell 201 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 5: and that week. 202 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 6: Of practice is gonna be hell because you know what, 203 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 6: you guys been out on a three and out on 204 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 6: the first drive, work locked in and we nobody wanted 205 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 6: to play in the preseasons, like TJ. 206 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: Said, But man, once you got out there and. 207 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 5: You, and you and you snap that snap, snap, and. 208 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,839 Speaker 6: Somebody ran up in your mouth. Oh you're gonna get 209 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 6: your mind right and ready to play football. You might 210 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 6: not want to play, but you're gonna get your mind right, 211 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 6: because if you don't, then somebody gonna knock you, knock 212 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 6: your mouth. 213 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 3: He's out. 214 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 4: But I think stored out. I think Cordell stored out 215 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 4: in the preseason career. I was LaVar was one of 216 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 4: them dudes. 217 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 5: LaVar wanted them dudes and everybody kind of chilling in 218 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 5: the preseason, and he trying to knock your head off. 219 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 3: I only had one speed. He didn't have one speed. 220 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 4: But the problem at that that Cordell ran into in 221 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 4: that situation in particular, was he thought he was still 222 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 4: slash and and he was getting a little older, and 223 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 4: and it was more it was more Cordell's stored than 224 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: it was slash and I I, for one, I didn't 225 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: want necessarily to play in preseason games, like you guys 226 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 4: are saying, but I knew it was a necessary evil 227 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: and and and I also knew that if I was 228 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 4: going to be prepared to play the way that I 229 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 4: needed to play when the season came around, I really 230 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 4: needed to challenge myself to doing things the way I 231 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 4: was going to do them in week one. Again, It's 232 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 4: like I wanted to hit the season with you know, 233 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 4: like touch the ground, running right, and I didn't want 234 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 4: to be tired. 235 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 7: Cause I don't know about y'all, but that. 236 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: First preseason game when I got out there, I used 237 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 4: to get anxiety attacks and I couldn't run like it 238 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: was it would be kind of for me. 239 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 7: It would be hot. It would be like like I'm. 240 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 4: Sitting there and I'm looking at dudes and I'm like, dang, 241 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 4: there's there's Jerome Bettis or you know, there's Da Da Dad. 242 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: Like I'm a fan of the game, I ain't afraid 243 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 4: to admit it. So I would see dudes out there 244 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: and I'd be like, Damn, plex is over there. They're 245 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 4: go plex like they're gonna do ba bab bay, and 246 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 4: I start getting anxiety and I can't breathe. 247 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 7: So I had to work. 248 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 4: Myself not only into game shape, I had to work 249 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: myself out of like getting there, seeing the different guys 250 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 4: and seeing my own teammates. I'm seeing different guys come out, 251 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 4: seeing a different color uniform come out, and I had 252 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: to get myself mentally prepared to be able to go 253 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 4: out there and start fast then as well. Like that 254 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 4: was that was a challenge, and so to me, while 255 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 4: I didn't necessarily want it to play, I knew by 256 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: coming to the third game, third third preseason game. In 257 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 4: my mind, it's a game. This is a regular game. 258 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 4: This is a regular game to me, and I'm coming 259 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: out there like it's a regular game. But so I 260 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: like the idea of a new guy saying that go ahead. 261 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 5: Go yeah. 262 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 6: I want to get back to the whole Jamar Chase 263 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 6: and Joe Burrow. I'm just I'm just, you know, using 264 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 6: myself as an example, I can't imagine from wide receiver standpoint, 265 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 6: the quarterback not being able to get some real live 266 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 6: reps and almost you know since December January, since you've 267 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 6: been knocked out of the playoffs, so you didn't make 268 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 6: the playoffs, you show up on Sunday when everything counts, 269 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 6: and you haven't had any live action to really calibrate, 270 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 6: you know, what the quarterback is seeing. It's a totally 271 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 6: different speed from what it is when you guys are playing. 272 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 3: You can't replicate that. 273 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 6: So then when you get out on a football field 274 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 6: for the first time in eight nine months. You know, 275 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 6: you guys aren't seeing the same thing. Balls are going 276 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 6: over the top of the head. You coming out of here, 277 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 6: you break through early, and all these things that accumulate, 278 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 6: they're costing you football games. So I just don't see 279 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 6: how you can get out on a football field without having, 280 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 6: you know, being tackled or you know, trying to. 281 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: Execute at a high level. 282 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 6: We went into the regular season prepared because when I 283 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 6: was in Pittsburgh, we was having live tackling periods everything. 284 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 6: Every Saturday. You knew that it was live tackling. 285 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 5: Hey, we had a period every day in practice. Once 286 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 5: we got in the full pads that was live. Yeah, 287 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 5: I mean tackling to the ground, and we wearing pads 288 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 5: at least every other day. The only person that didn't 289 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 5: get tackled to the ground was Carson was a quarterback. 290 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 5: Everybody else, uh, we full go and it was And 291 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 5: that's probably what like eight to twelve place. You're like, man, 292 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 5: and that that was They're not doing that. Now they're 293 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 5: taking smoothie breaks, snacks, smoothie breaks, bring the smoothies out, 294 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 5: and so it's just a different break. It's a different 295 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 5: awareness and it's better. Man, Like you know how many 296 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 5: guys will like you just go to training camp feeling 297 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 5: so good him. By the third or fourth day, you 298 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 5: feel like you know, man in five or six car accidents, 299 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 5: Man different era football, Man different ice. 300 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 6: Literally sit there, it will be live run with no 301 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 6: wide receivers. How do you what do you think Ryan 302 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 6: Clark and trot Poulomal and all these guys were filling 303 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 6: those holes with no wide receivers out there about and 304 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 6: they know it's live run. What kind of collisions you 305 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 6: think was taking place? 306 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 7: And them dudes was hitting too, especially rc R with. 307 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 6: No wide receivers and it's live run and they got 308 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 6: their ears cutting back. Man, we should stand over there 309 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 6: with the wide receivers in the cornerbacks one on one 310 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 6: watching those dudes, like yo them. 311 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 3: Dude's crazy, man, because that's how physical Houston. 312 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 4: It was a crazy defense back then y'all had, man. 313 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 4: But anyway, speaking of crazy, uh, we're gonna take a 314 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 4: quick break.

This is coming 400 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 5: from somebody, and I don't care what anybody else on 401 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 5: a free time, what they do. 402 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 3: I've never I've never done a drug in my life. 403 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 5: It's the way I grew up being around crackheads my 404 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 5: entire life. I've never done a drug. I've never smoked anything, 405 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 5: and damn my life. So but people doing a free 406 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 5: time things you've ever done in life? Bro Avocados is 407 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 5: the bigger, biggest one for me. I mean, I get 408 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 5: the drugs and all that, but man, avocados. And think 409 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 5: you said yogurt, you don't need you eat yogurt. I 410 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:58,400 Speaker 5: think you said you want, you don't. I've never liked coffee. 411 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 5: I've never had coffee. 412 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 7: Weird man. 413 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: Okay, go ahead, I'll just say this. 414 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 5: If you listen to what Rabel said, uh one, good 415 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 5: decision makers. He said that a couple of times, and 416 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 5: that wasn't good decision making. 417 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 3: Because if you if you're gonna make. 418 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 5: Bad decisions off the field, you damn sure gonna make 419 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 5: bad decisions on the field. If you're a bad decision 420 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 5: maker off the field, you're gonna be a bad decision 421 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 5: maker on the field. Adding it at the wrong time, 422 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 5: we need you to do this, you do that, it's 423 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 5: a bad decision. But you've shown us you're a bad 424 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 5: decision maker. And when I see the signs, I gotta 425 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 5: follow them. Now. I guarantee the Patriots have thought about 426 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 5: cutting them. I guarantee they've talked about it. Probably should 427 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 5: we being discussed? 428 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: Should we? 429 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 5: Based off of the camera of you having something in 430 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 5: your hand and you give it to the young ladies 431 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 5: and they open it up and it's peak based off 432 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 5: of that. Whatever it is, it could be innocent. It 433 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 5: just doesn't look the way it should look. And when 434 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 5: you're in the National Football League, there's just so much 435 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 5: you have to represent not only yourself, your team, but 436 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 5: the league the correct way. Now, if I'm the Patriots, 437 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: am I cutting Stefan Diggs. No, absolutely not. I see 438 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 5: them videos of how he looks working out and training. 439 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 5: I'm not cutting them because at the end of the day, 440 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 5: we gotta win games. We gotta win games, and it's 441 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 5: all speculation to assume whatever you said that stuff was, 442 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 5: uh you said pussy tousy that neither. I'm googling it 443 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 5: right now and it says it's like I found out 444 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 5: about it. 445 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 3: It's like a party drug. 446 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 5: It's like pink cocaine and it's mixed with this of 447 00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 5: this and it's I just googled it right now, ay, And. 448 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 7: So drugs down with dope, up with hope. 449 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 5: I just feel like you gotta be smarter in your 450 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 5: decision making. And variable said it. They just don't like 451 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 5: the fact that he put himself in that position. What 452 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 5: camera's around with camera, Let's just be honest. Let's be honest, 453 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 5: you're going to do that confirmed, but exactly that's what 454 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 5: it was. I mean, who can confirm it other than 455 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 5: the people that were on the yacht. Who other than 456 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 5: the people that were on the yacht can really confirm this? 457 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 5: You think they gonna say that's what it was? And 458 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 5: so everything has to be speculation at this point. I 459 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 5: just feel like he just has to be smarter. He 460 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 5: has to put himself in better situations, because when you don't, now, 461 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 5: you open yourself up to whatever anybody or anyone may 462 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 5: think that is. And that's what everybody is saying. It 463 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 5: is whether it's right or wrong, that's the assumption, because 464 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 5: is he gonna what else can you come out and said? 465 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 5: Is I just feel bad? You know that he looks 466 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 5: so good in the videos of him training coming off man, 467 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 5: he looked like he ain't never been hurt. And now 468 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 5: this is the talk now whether the Patriots release him 469 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 5: or not, they should talk about it. I'm sure they 470 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 5: have talked about it. But I wouldn't release him, you know. 471 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 6: Uh, you know, I played with Mike. I played with 472 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 6: very obviously, and I just like what he said at 473 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 6: the end was that, uh, you know, the conversations that 474 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 6: he is going to have or he has had with 475 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 6: Stefan dig with main between him and uh and and 476 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 6: and and Stephan. But to be honest with you, we've 477 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 6: seen worse. And I think it's more of Stephan being 478 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 6: with Cardi B. How this story is being uh portrayed 479 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 6: and obviously uh, you know, it's we get scrutinized differently. 480 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 6: And if he's out on a boat with his girl 481 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 6: and there's some girls and it's really a non story. 482 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 3: It really is. 483 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 6: What's wrong with getting on the boat with the food 484 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 6: chicks taking a couple of laps around the river or whatever. 485 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 3: The case may be. 486 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 6: But it's just happy to be he's with Cardi B 487 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 6: And and those are some of the things that come 488 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 6: with me. And I really believe at the end of 489 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 6: the day, we won't know the facts of what exactly 490 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 6: the substance is or what it was, or if he's 491 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 6: getting hired doing drugs or whatever the case may be. 492 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 6: But I just feel that, you know, we just get 493 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 6: scrutinized differently based off of who we are, you know, 494 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 6: like playing in this league, because trust me, I've seen 495 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 6: a lot of works come from other players and it 496 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 6: wasn't even mentioned or talked about, you know, in the media. 497 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 6: But for him, you know, he's had some some incidences 498 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 6: where you know, Minnesota and now Buffalo one hugheston. Now 499 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 6: he's on his fourth team and he's not being responsible 500 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 6: and all of those things. 501 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 5: I don't I don't. 502 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,719 Speaker 3: I don't believe that Mike Rade was going to cut him. 503 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,560 Speaker 6: He's a former player, he understands, he's seen a. 504 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 3: Lot of himself. Now I think it's moving forward. 505 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 6: I don't think it was a bad situation until all 506 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 6: these you know, whatever, this. 507 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 3: Pink stuff is popped up. 508 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 6: If that wasn't any story, I think it would still 509 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 6: be a story because it's step Fann and Cardi B. 510 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 7: Mm hmm. 511 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 4: Here's my thing, right, It's interesting how things play out. 512 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 4: And you're right, like, I'm a piggyback off of the 513 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 4: the Cardi B aspect of it. When you're when you're 514 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 4: dealing with somebody as high profile as Cardi B, you 515 00:27:53,800 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 4: are going to be instantly thrusted into a different category 516 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 4: of being covered. I know Steph on Diggs since he 517 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 4: was back his days in Maryland and and being in 518 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 4: the area. I know him and and Steph is a 519 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 4: good dude. He's you know, he he's a funny guy, 520 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 4: great sense of humor. I think he's often misrepresented and sometimes, 521 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 4: you know, you get certain things that take place and 522 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 4: then now it's like you're a misunderstood person, like he's 523 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 4: he's a diva, or you know, he's hard to get 524 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 4: along with, or whatever it may be. I never met 525 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 4: a receiver that didn't have the traits that a great 526 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 4: receiver I would say that didn't have the traits that 527 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 4: I've seen and experience with steph On Diggs. I immediately 528 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 4: thought to myself, it's all about perspective. 529 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 7: In angles, right, because when you look. 530 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 4: At how how it all played out, like why would 531 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 4: why would anybody? And he's fully aware where he's at, 532 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 4: like you watched the video. It's not like he doesn't 533 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 4: know where he's at. It's not like he's not a 534 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 4: aware of what he's got, what he's got going on, 535 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 4: And so to allow somebody to film you like that, 536 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 4: I would need more context before I start drawing any judgments, 537 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 4: any any type of thoughts that would surround this, because 538 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 4: it's all about perspectives. If you if you're a void 539 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 4: of what the real context of what was taking place 540 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 4: is then you're left to trying to figure out and 541 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 4: fill in the blanks because it's been presented to you 542 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 4: in a certain type of way. 543 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 7: And that's how media works. That's how media works. 544 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 4: I don't know why Stefan Diggs allowed himself to be 545 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 4: filmed in that moment. I don't know who it was 546 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 4: that film Stefan Diggs in that moment. But what I 547 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 4: do know is is that I saw in the video 548 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 4: Stephan's eyes came up, like when the substance came out 549 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 4: or whatever it is that was in the baggie or whatever. 550 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 4: He looked around. His eyes came up, and it doesn't 551 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 4: come across as he's inebriated, he's under any type of influence. 552 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 4: It doesn't look like that. Looks like there's a fun 553 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 4: exchange going on. In fact, one of the young ladies 554 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 4: in the video looks at the camera and it's talking 555 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 4: to the camera. I don't know what it is because 556 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 4: I don't have a close enough look. It could be balloons. 557 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 4: They could be ready to blow up some party balloons 558 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 4: like here, Like he might be out there being a 559 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 4: magician making balloon animals and stuff like that. 560 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 7: I don't know. 561 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 3: You don't know. 562 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 4: We don't know what people's proclivities are in their own time. 563 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 4: All I know is I don't have enough context. And 564 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 4: like y'all said, y'all was today years old when y'all 565 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 4: found out what tucy is today, So if you didn't 566 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 4: know what it was, I didn't know what it was 567 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 4: when I first heard it. 568 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 7: I had to look it up, just like y'all did. 569 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 7: I feel like I. 570 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 4: Need more cunt text until we get more context. And 571 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 4: maybe we won't get any more context. Maybe that context 572 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 4: will only be connected to Mike Vrabel and the New 573 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 4: England Patriots. Maybe it will be connected to I don't know. 574 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 4: They haven't said if the NFL is investigating it or not. 575 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 4: I haven't seen that there's an official launch of an investigation. 576 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 4: But I will say this, people are going to be tough, 577 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 4: touch sensitive in scenarios like this because of all of 578 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 4: these lawsuits that are hitting and it's all about optics. 579 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 4: This is the biggest mistake of the situation. If I'm 580 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 4: looking at Stefan Diggs, is you always have to be 581 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 4: aware of the optics and the fact that you are 582 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 4: with Cardi b. 583 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 7: People are already. 584 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 4: Thinking you're living a rock star lifestyle. By being able 585 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 4: to be with a young lady such as her, you 586 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 4: are going to be propped and put in a different 587 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 4: level of exposure and optics, make up. It may it 588 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 4: makes everything work, it makes everything fall apart. You can 589 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 4: use it like how Kelsey has used it with Swift 590 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 4: and propel your career to a whole other level that 591 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 4: transcends the game. Or you can put yourself in a 592 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 4: situation where that type of lifestyle consumes you and it 593 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 4: leads to your undoing and your downfall. I just hope 594 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 4: that isn't the case with Stephan Diggs. That's what I 595 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 4: would say to it. So anyways, we'll see how it 596 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 4: all plays out. I don't know if it leads to 597 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 4: him losing his job or not. And again I don't 598 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 4: know what the true details of it are. I hope 599 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,479 Speaker 4: that the journalism of how it's being covered as we 600 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 4: move forward is more important than sensationalizing a story trying 601 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 4: to maybe villainize Stephan Diggs. So we'll see how it 602 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 4: all plays out. But I know this this man isn't 603 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 4: a villain. He's a superhero and when he comes on 604 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 4: it gives us the updates. It's superhero work. What you 605 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 4: got I lowed with our update trending. 606 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 9: I'm just in the midst of a nice little mid 607 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 9: morning snack here avocados in coffee. 608 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 7: I'm like us, I got a coffee coming to right. 609 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 3: That sounds like you go ahead a bubble guts from 610 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 3: a few minutes. 611 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 9: Actually, no, I will be having a very very healthy, 612 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 9: healthy snack.

Uh, 657 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:22,359 Speaker 4: Chip Kelly, he's uh giving out high praises during the week. 658 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 4: Votas quarterback Geno Smith has already made a strong impression, 659 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 4: so says Ryan McFadden of The Four Letter Word Network ESPN, 660 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 4: saying that you know, just ask Riot receivers Jakobe Myers, 661 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,879 Speaker 4: whose face his face lit up when with excitement when 662 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 4: talking about his new teammate on Thursday. It's it's it's 663 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,480 Speaker 4: really really an interesting thing to hear the excitement. Offensive 664 00:35:55,520 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 4: coordinator Chip Kelly called Smith a blessing quotes for coaches, 665 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 4: saying that Smith provides a wealth of experience due to 666 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 4: playing for multiple coordinators throughout his eleven year career. Kelly 667 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:13,280 Speaker 4: said that his picked Smith, He's picked Smith's brain, asking 668 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 4: him how his former Seattle offensive coordinators Shane Waldron and 669 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 4: Ryan Grubb would handle certain situations or calls. Kelly also 670 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 4: mentioned that Smith would call him in the evening after 671 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 4: practices to discuss what happened during the day. He says 672 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 4: that Geno, he's great. He's literally like a second coach. 673 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 4: Kelly said, who joined Las Vegas and and well he 674 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 4: was with Ohio State and he just got a national title, 675 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 4: then got up out of there. Fellas just super quickly 676 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,919 Speaker 4: before you know, we get to the end of the hour. 677 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 4: I know you guys are were you in New York 678 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 4: with with Gino? You might have you guys might have 679 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 4: crossed pass right stretch y'all missed each other. Okay, but 680 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 4: you know, I know who Gino is. I don't know 681 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,320 Speaker 4: him real well. I know his agent's shut off is 682 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 4: his agent. That's my guy, one of my brothers. I've 683 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 4: heard so many great things about him, and he was 684 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 4: able to rejuvenate his career, resurrect his career in Seattle, 685 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,919 Speaker 4: gets a great opportunity to go to Las Vegas. Now, 686 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 4: it's great to hear a positive story and a diagnosis 687 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 4: or prognosis on what they think and feel about Geno Smith. 688 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 5: I like the fact that Chip Kelly is when you 689 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 5: have your coach openly supporting you like that, it just 690 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,399 Speaker 5: it brings a smile to your face. As a player, 691 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 5: it makes you feel good. We all had that self confidence. 692 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 5: But when you have the people that are going to 693 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 5: determine your playing time. We know Geno is gonna start, 694 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 5: but just that support publicly and to come out and 695 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 5: say those things, that just makes you feel good that 696 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,319 Speaker 5: they appreciate the work that they see you putting in 697 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 5: and what they feel you can do in the future 698 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 5: and be productive. And so as a player, to me, 699 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,480 Speaker 5: more coaches need to be this way. I believe Chip 700 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 5: Kelly has evolved as a coach. I believe Chip Kelly 701 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 5: when he left Oregon, you go to the Eagles did 702 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 5: and said some things you release Uhdashawn Jackson, every betrayed, 703 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,320 Speaker 5: shady you basically let go all the good players. He 704 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 5: learned from that. He learned from that, and so we're 705 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 5: seeing a evolved Chip Kelly as a person as a 706 00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 5: coach a. 707 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 7: Head coach either though, TJ. 708 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,719 Speaker 4: I mean, you know it would be it would to 709 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 4: say that if he was, you know, I mean where 710 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,280 Speaker 4: he's at now, But he's not the head coach. 711 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 5: It doesn't matter if he's a head coach or not. 712 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,640 Speaker 5: It doesn't matter if he plays. Oh that he couldn't 713 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 5: that he couldn't come to or to Las Vegas and 714 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,840 Speaker 5: get rid of those players. Correct, But to me, it 715 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 5: seems as if he's evolved in it. And it's great 716 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 5: for himself as a coach and as a person. But 717 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,920 Speaker 5: for your players to still that confidence in him, I 718 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 5: don't believe coaches realize when you publicly do this to 719 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 5: your players, you're instill in so much confidence in these 720 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 5: dudes that they feel like they can go out there 721 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,360 Speaker 5: and do whatever. That that type of stuff to me matters. 722 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 6: I mean, I guess I got a kind of guy 723 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 6: to agree with you when you see he has a 724 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,279 Speaker 6: vault as a coach, because we have not heard Chip 725 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:26,840 Speaker 6: Kelly be too you know, favorable about his peak teammates, 726 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,759 Speaker 6: you know, openly in the public. But you know, I 727 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 6: just want to see I don't want to see it. 728 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,600 Speaker 6: But if the Raiders aren't playing well and things aren't 729 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,400 Speaker 6: going the way that you know they expect to, what 730 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 6: will be his tune? Then if the offense is not 731 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 6: performing well. And when he says that, you know, Geno 732 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 6: Smith is like having a second coach on the football 733 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,560 Speaker 6: feeling in the meeting room. I mean, the guy's been 734 00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 6: around for what eleven twelve seasons now forty three hundred 735 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 6: yard twenty one touchdowns. You just don't step on the 736 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 6: football feel and have that kind of success if you 737 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 6: do not understand the game of football and how to 738 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 6: play the position at a high level, you just don't 739 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 6: do it. So but just like you said at LeVar, 740 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 6: I think you know Gino went to Seattle resurrected his 741 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,920 Speaker 6: career under Pete Carroll. That was one of the reasons, 742 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 6: the main reason why when pet Carroll was named the 743 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 6: head coach, he said, you know what I got. I 744 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 6: got a guy who can be an elite quarterback if 745 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 6: I get him around the right players. Because I really 746 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 6: think that moving forward, they have a better offense in 747 00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 6: Las Vegas and they haven't having Seattle if he would 748 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,239 Speaker 6: have remained the quarterback there. So I believe he's going 749 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 6: to have some success. Obviously, the AFC West is probably 750 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 6: the hardest division in football, so I expect for the 751 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,600 Speaker 6: raid is to compete, but not, you know, get into 752 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 6: the playoffs in year one. 753 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 7: I wish him well. I think it sets the stage 754 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 7: for Chip Kelly. 755 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 4: Like you mentioned TJ, it sets the stage for him 756 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,279 Speaker 4: to take take the brunt and the blame if it 757 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,760 Speaker 4: doesn't go well. But we'll see if it does go well. 758 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 4: And right now, it's kumba, y'all. They're off to a 759 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 4: great start, just like our show. It's off to a 760 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,280 Speaker 4: great start. Our one is down, our two is coming. 761 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 4: We got cuffs, the legend coming.
