Speaker 3: I came here, joined you as a teammate, Man, what

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: was that We welcome London, then, man, we welcome we

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: need with.

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: That experience because you thought he was the captain.

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: I didn't think I was a captain. I thought I

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: was a superman. I needed to be made it was

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: gonna be be But London was the captain. It was

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: they brought me.

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: They needed some leadership, definitely. Not only did I bring

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: the leadership, I brought some playmaker. But no, Shan Man

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: he was a baller.

36
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: Heck, you knew, you you.

37
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Know practice early that he was gonna talk highly about himself.

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: And oh I remember, you know Sean. Sean is the

39
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: real reason. You know, Sean enough credit, CP get a

40
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: lot of the credit, but Sean is also the guy

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: who I got to give credit to. Because it wasn't

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: for him bringing in mail trainer, I would have never

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: probably had the longest, you know, the career that I

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: had because when I got here, I was broke up.

45
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: You know that first the first four years in New York, Man,

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: I was beat up. And Sean told Cep, hey, man,

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: I'll be seeing twent of me working on his hamstrings.

48
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: And you know, inside I look, what's your coming room?

49
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Tell me to come see my guy. And Ceep called

50
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: me like, hey, man, Sean got this guy, come meet him.

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: Mail saw me and he saw me from the introduction

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: of just saying hey, what's up that something was going

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: on with me, right and the rest is history. So

54
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: I gotta give you credit for that.

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: Man, gotta be a professional man, help out your teammates out.

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I and that defensive meeting room man, we

57
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: had some We have some.

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Dog characters to character.

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: When you say character, the first thing comes to my friends.

60
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: Damn smooth smooth and Colos Rogers.

61
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: Man Wais was our defensive courd that.

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: But by the way, did y'all see that TikTok on

63
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 3: Greg still going off on people in the meeting rooms?

64
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 3: So there was a TikTok last week about Greg. Of

65
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: course Greg was Greg. He's you know, he got the

66
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 3: red dot Lennon. So everybody learning to tell you Greg

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: when you can tell when Greg depends on what he's

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: wearing that yeah, he's on one. So Greg shitting at

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: the TikTok is like Greg sitting at the front of

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: the meeting room and he's just going over there. It

71
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: was like snippets like meetings Greg that of course he's

72
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 3: cutting people out, he's holding them accountable. He's yelling at him,

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: and everybody's like, you see the guys heads down.

74
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: You gotta be authentic with hisself. It won't be great

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: if it wasn't that route.

76
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: When Greg used to talk all this, you know, his

77
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 3: bravado and all this stuff. I thought Greg was funny

78
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: to me as a head coach. I knew him as

79
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 3: a head coach, totally different as a head coach than

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: he was as a defensive coordinator. One thing I will

81
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 3: say about him, dude can call the defense. He had

82
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 3: a great feel of when to call plays. So because

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 3: everybody has plays and you know you're going to it

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: with a game plan, but no one went to call

85
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: a certain defense. Just having a great feeldy also would

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: allow me to call it myself. He just like he

87
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 3: just point at me, like, look, you gotta just just

88
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 3: call it that.

89
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 2: We did play a lot of better bands that yeah,

90
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: Greg blotch.

91
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: But one of the things that I like about what

92
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 3: g Dubb and that whole defense we said, we had characters.

93
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing for us with the staff

94
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 3: and I think what London helped was everybody kind of

95
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: knew their role. London knew like Fridays, you know, London

96
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 3: knew that he was the guy that coach relied on

97
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 3: to make sure that these guys knew what they were

98
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 3: doing being lined up. So I will say that London

99
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 3: kept that meeting room because we did have some characters

100
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: we'd have been joking abound we left dvs, but London

101
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: made sure this is the script, what are the checks,

102
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: what are we doing? And I think that was needed.

103
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: Then we had guys where you knew like, hey man,

104
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: I'm out here to cover the best guy. I'm gonna

105
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: make a play. You know, Sean's gonna just be fantastic.

106
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: He's just Sean Taylor, Sean Taylor, and he's just listen.

107
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought up Sean Taylor. And I'm a

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: two stories about Sean, and you remember this. We're getting

109
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: ready to play the Giants. The thing we started off

110
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 3: the season two or No. Seven seven, and I've told

111
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: the story of our players club, but now we got

112
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 3: we got Blue and by the way, we're gonna call

113
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: him Blue. That's a nick that we got for Sean Blue.

114
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna refer to him as Blue. So we're

115
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,119
Speaker 3: getting ready to play the Giants, and we were having

116
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: like a kind of bad practice to start, because I

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: think we start off special teams and like balls were

118
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: being dropped and something happened in the defense where they

119
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: just were we weren't clicking where we needed to be clicking.

120
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: So I, being a company and as a leader, I

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: say something, yell something like, man, y'all need picked up.

122
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,119
Speaker 3: You picked this up, Sean, that's DoD thinks I'm talking

123
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: to him. Sean Taylor think something. Think I'm going at him.

124
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: So because I didn't know he had, I think he had.

125
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: He was back there catching punch from I think he

126
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 3: might have dropped the pun or something. So he's thinking

127
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: I'm going going at him and him get him to

128
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 3: it on the sideline, I remember, So we get it

129
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 3: to it on the sideline. So you got to alf

130
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: for mail. I'm not backing down. He backing down. It

131
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: took it took Blue. He came to me. I guess

132
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: he knew, having been shot teammate for a while. He's like,

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna be at a cop him. Let me

134
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: go cops. He's like he said loved to let it go,

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: got it go the way he said it. It was like,

136
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: you know what, all right, right right, you know what,

137
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 3: you're good, I'm gonna let it go. But I just

138
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: happened to have this conversation maybe two days ago. Somebody

139
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 3: was asking me about Sean Taylor and like how good

140
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: could he have been?

141
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: I say, man, I played with Hall of famers.

142
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 3: I think we all had, you know, experience where we

143
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 3: either play with guys who currently in the Pro Football

144
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame or will future be future Hall of Famer.

145
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: I was like, this is just he was just scratching

146
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: the surfer. Ye like scratching the surfa. He was here

147
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 3: with the ability that he was going to get to

148
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: this point.

149
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: I was like, man, did y'all feel that same way?

150
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at the year that he left

151
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: for us. Already before he you know, that season one

152
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: nowhere near halfway done, and he was already his numbers

153
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: was godly, you know, compared to what he had got

154
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: recognized for already for being a great season. He had

155
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: four picks that year, had them missed about four games.

156
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: Three heard his knee, you know what I mean?

157
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: On him, he was on a pace that that season

158
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: alone to just out do everything he had done. So

159
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: that's why I look at him be like, y'all just

160
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: don't understand man. And then at that time too, you know,

161
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: he recognized as a young man that I got to

162
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: make sacrifices to be great. He had already started dying

163
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: yet stop hanging out. He was doing so much at

164
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: a young age to make sure that he played at

165
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: the level. Man, he just had it, you know.

166
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: It was his knowledge before like people was like, what

167
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: Shawn do? What he wants to do? And part of

168
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: it was not that he really wanted to do what

169
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 3: he wanted to do. He had the ability to do

170
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: things that others couldn't do. So he could almost show

171
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage and still be over top

172
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: like we in covered too, and Sean is like standing

173
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: by like at will backer.

174
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, man, get back right, I've got this

175
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: receiver regard. You try to get the jamp but you

176
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: susted on. So that's one thing.

177
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: But I think what happened really was he started to

178
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: really understand when he started to understand the game. But

179
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 3: it was really more so that like he really understood

180
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: his abilities, you know, his abilities right, like he before

181
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: he was making plays and stuff like that, but when

182
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: he started under the game and matching up with his

183
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: abilities and things that he could do.

184
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 2: He became unstopper.

185
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: Because I played with Pro Bowl guys, I play a

186
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: young like and I tell people all this all the time,

187
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 3: a young Sean.

188
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: Another guy played.

189
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: At Miami that was really good, who was very similar

190
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: to Sean was a guy named Benny Blade. And if

191
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 3: people know, like Benny was amazing, right, and he was

192
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: still amazing tenth twelfth year in the league when I

193
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: had a chance to play with him and Daryl Williams.

194
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: But Sean, he was on that level of like if

195
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: you think about the potential of safeties, and ed Reed

196
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: comes first to mind, you know, Troy Sean, you know,

197
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: and I and you don't like to say this, but

198
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 3: I think he could have been the best safety ever

199
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 3: at all.

200
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: That's how I feel. That's how I feel. And I

201
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: played with him, I sat beside him for five years. Yeah.

202
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: Man, no, man, all right, man, man, just man, damn,

203
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 3: I missed miss We got cheated, man. But you know,

204
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: and shout out to the statue being that they're gonna

205
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: put it. Yeah, just we feel like we need great,

206
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 3: great gesture that the team is gonna do by putting

207
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: the statue for him that truly he just truly deserves

208
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: that it's.

209
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: Time to switch gears. Man. The initial fifty three man

210
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: roster has been Uh, we're gonna do something called set

211
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: the tone. We called set the Tone.

212
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 3: Brought to you by Johnson Kendall Johnson, the official insurance

213
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: broker and risk management partner of the Washington Commanders. Where

214
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: our passion is your protection. Who do y'all think needs

215
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 3: to set the tone for this season?

216
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: This year?

217
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: For me Man and I might take the shine on

218
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: and I want to jump out there before London because

219
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: I know London probably feel the same way about this guy.

220
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 3: I think Frankie Levu is a superstar, you know, and

221
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 3: our lineback and or has been tremendously upgraded. But for

222
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: some reason, the first time I saw Frankie Levu, I

223
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: was like, what, Like, this guy is a predator out

224
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: there and he's a superstar on a defense side of

225
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: the ball. And way the reason why I said he

226
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 3: could possibly set the tone because if you think about

227
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: Dan Quinn, you think about Dallas, you think about Michael Parsons,

228
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: I think Frank Frankie Levu has that he got something

229
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: about him that he could be just dynamic in the

230
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: blitzing coverage hit Fred Warner come to mind in London.

231
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: You can probably speak on a little more, but I

232
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 3: think that kid could be a superstar on that defense.

233
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go against the grain from what we probably

234
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: look at offensively and we might say, okay, you got

235
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 1: the quarterback that you know what I mean, he can

236
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: do so much with his legs and with his arm.

237
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: Then you have a guy like Terry who I can

238
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: easy throw out there. I'm gonna say b Rob. I

239
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: think b Robb last year with the carries and people

240
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: fail to realize you. You know, you look at Cliff

241
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: and his out of play, you think past, past, past,

242
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: but go back and watch history, look at history. When

243
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: it comes to Cliff. His run game has has always

244
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: been up there too, you know, the best of the league,

245
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, when he was out there doing this thing

246
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: in Arizona. So I think b Rob is going to

247
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: be a surprise to a lot of folks thinking that

248
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: hey it's all about just you know, spread out offense

249
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: or whatever. He's going to be able to set the

250
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: tone and slow things down for a young you know

251
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: quarterback that we have that now he can go out

252
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: there and be that guy and see the guys and

253
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: see those lanes you know a little much clear because

254
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: we have the run game, you know behind b Robb Blake.

255
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: So piggyback it off of you with with the b

256
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 3: Rob standpoint in order for be Rob to do his thing,

257
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 3: need that old.

258
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 2: Lined to do that.

259
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 1: You got to do that thing.

260
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: And one person in particularly that I feel like it

261
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: is going to have to set the tone.

262
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 2: Sam Cosmy Sam Costan.

263
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 3: He's a last year he balled manna play play.

264
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: He finally got settled in it till his home.

265
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: I think the best position at right guard, physical tone

266
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: cetter man. He's Sam in a in a year where

267
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: the offensive line didn't didn't play play up to.

268
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: The expectations so to speak. Sam did.

269
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: He was a bright spot on that offensive line. He

270
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 3: played out standing football. And I think even this year

271
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 3: with him being in the guard position for a second

272
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: year in a row on a new coaching staff with

273
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: a greater emphasis on running the football, Sam with his

274
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 3: athleticism and its temperament, he's a tone center because at

275
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: offensive lineman it is one thing that has skill and

276
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: technique and all that you have skilled technique and a

277
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: nasty temperament and demeanor which he has. You have the

278
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 3: ability to set the tone. And that's that's. Uh, He's

279
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 3: gonna be my my tone. Cetter the fifty three man roster.

280
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: Any any surprises to you as any you know, like okay,

281
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 3: things you like? Well, Driscoll keeping the third quarter quarterback,

282
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 3: I think you alluded to about you know, like man

283
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 3: because now teams are looking maybe put the third guy

284
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: on practice squad something like that.

285
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: But uh, I think it was maybe it was the

286
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: fifty yard run. He was rolling, but he's looking like

287
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 2: somebody please please.

288
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: But you know, in the modern day football, you know,

289
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: you know, usually you just think about the first and

290
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: the second guy and the third guys like I picked

291
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 3: somebody off the street or somebody you know, uh that

292
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: may be available. But uh, I think that that kid

293
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 3: that that was like all right, they keeping a quarterback.

294
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: That that was kind of a like that's interesting.

295
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: And then another thing I was thinking about this and

296
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 3: how many dbs on him about you can.

297
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: Talk about about that, but that was like one of

298
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: those things.

299
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all the safety. I mean that's my

300
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: that's my wow, that's my surprise. Just so many safety

301
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: But when you think about it, when you really think

302
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: about it as a whole and understand what this defense

303
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: is about packages, and then you're saying to yourself, yeah,

304
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: we might have eleven that we say, you know, I

305
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: guess you can say named as safeties, but it's really twelve.

306
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: When you have one of the guys playing linebacker's he's

307
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: slaughtered as a linebacker, and you just understand the packages.

308
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: And when you watch what dan Quid did defensively in

309
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: all the spots he'd been in, he was one of

310
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: those guys and showed different looks and you had guys

311
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: that fit the mold. So when you have that, it's

312
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: a great thing to have, you know what I mean.

313
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: You can't look at it and say, well, man, why

314
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: we got so many? Say does you look at it

315
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: and say, I'm happy to see that we have so

316
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: much you know, flexibility in that position that we can

317
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: have that many guys and use them in different spots.

318
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: London, you mentioned the new kickoff rolls and because it's

319
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: closer to the type of bodies. Yeah, right, So normally

320
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: that the bodies would have been like tight end linebacker

321
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: type guys, women in offensive lineman. But we're being close.

322
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: I was like, that's interesting. Maybe the special teams just

323
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 3: dictating like we got to have more of those bigger dbs,

324
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 3: but faster because the game is playing in space, right

325
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: And understand this, at the time that we're recording this,

326
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: the fifty three man roster could be adjusted by the

327
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: time you all see this, so there could be some

328
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: changes that take place and things like that. But I

329
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: will say this, and and Dan Quinn has touched on this,

330
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: and I'm sure if we if you talked to Larry Izzo,

331
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 3: a special.

332
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: Teams coach.

333
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 3: For the last few years, the kickoff coverage and the

334
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: kickoff return teams, really that special teams element really wasn't

335
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 3: there anymore. There used to be guys who made football

336
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: teams based on their ability to cover kicks. You remember

337
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: named Roy Office Roy Yeah, yeah, I was scared of him.

338
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: Roy Man's a dude that used to play for the

339
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: Carolina Pathos. He was a special tam sush teams team.

340
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: And then then the Ravens had the boy that played

341
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: that won All O J.

342
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: Shoot, he was my teammates too. Now, O J. Bergantz

343
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: was Special Teams.

344
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a guy here who played and end

345
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: up end up playing lineback up for Buffalo one man game.

346
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to my boy Slater.

347
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 3: Uh, Matthew Slater man like that kid made a career

348
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: on Special Man his dad a couple of years ago.

349
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: It could be coming back to your point, right.

350
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 3: But but when you look at that element, you're gonna

351
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: have to have more athletic guys, bigger bodies, guys who

352
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 3: can cover kicks, and guys who are blocking and the

353
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: kick offf return. As I looked at this roster, I'm

354
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: always intrigued to see how many undrafted guys are able

355
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: to make the team, or even a guy like you

356
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: mentioned Jeff Drisco or a guy like Jeremy McNichols, guys

357
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: who initially when you when you come into this look

358
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: at the ross as it's being put together, or the

359
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 3: ninety man roster, like these guys are kind of afterthoughts,

360
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: so speed not in their minds, and you know, because

361
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 3: and they proved it, but you know, not a lot

362
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: of fan fear and they earned their will to just

363
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: learned it. But a guy undrafted free agent Tyler Owens, Yeah,

364
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: man plays and.

365
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: Every single time he got opportunity.

366
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: To make plays as a defensive player, but also as

367
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 3: a special team to tell her kicks and then Coason

368
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: Yankova as a fourth tight end.

369
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: So you know, taking advantage of your opportunity.

370
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: Yes, And it's interesting now because now that you can

371
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: put veters on a play on a on a practice squad,

372
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: it's interesting to see how teams are deciding who are

373
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 3: you gonna put on a practice squad? Am I gonna

374
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 3: let this guy hit that market? Because to your point,

375
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Orange making the team, I mean was like

376
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 3: you would have thought, like, now he's a camp body, right,

377
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 3: Like he's gonna just.

378
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 2: Cover a couple of kicks. Man, that kid was.

379
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: He was out there dominating after that, like every single

380
00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: time he got out on the field.

381
00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: A play was made.

382
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 3: Tanna wire receivers, Man, you look at the initial guys

383
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 3: who made the wide receiver.

384
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on that position group? After the

385
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: big news, after the big news of the week.

386
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: Well, well, yeahs, we can.

387
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: Start with the news. We can start with the news.

388
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: I was wild. I was a little floored by it

389
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: because you look at the potential there. One of the

390
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: things I know about this game, man, the ability to

391
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: be you know, a lot of guys have ability. You know,

392
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: you can see it. So many guys be on the

393
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: practice feel you be like, man, he's talding that he

394
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: got this that. But if you're not putting it out

395
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: there consistently, especially in the floor of a game, then

396
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: we have no place for you. And that's what kind

397
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: of was some of the little whispers was around, like, look, man,

398
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: we know the guy can play, but we don't get

399
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: that energy from him all the time.

400
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 3: Well, it was really about players. Sometimes it's about the

401
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 3: attitude or the type of.

402
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: Attitude, that type of player the coach is looking for.

403
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: I say this, and I've always been a big Jiha

404
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 3: Dodson fan. Me too, going all the way back to

405
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 3: his college days. I'm a big Ohio State fan. You

406
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 3: went to Ohio State and I can remember Johann just

407
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 3: destroying the fire State always go back, and so I

408
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 3: was a big fan of his. I'm sorry that I

409
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 3: hate to see that it didn't work out for him

410
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: in Washington, just because I was a big fan of

411
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: his and a.

412
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 2: Lot of times but Philly London.

413
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 3: Hey, man, that man got the best offer from you.

414
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: At this point, in time, and Philly had the best offer.

415
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: You take the best offer. I look at it like this, everybody,

416
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 3: every scheme is not for everybody, right, and whether I

417
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 3: look at myself like I came into the league as

418
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 3: a four to three inside linebacker, I couldn't have been

419
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: a three four linebacker three four inside linebacker initially in

420
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: my career. Eventually, as I got more season than became

421
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 3: later on in my career, I was able to play

422
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 3: in the three four defense, and I did that on

423
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 3: under Jen has lit in this defense and playing in

424
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 3: front with sometimes.

425
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's just different. It's different.

426
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: So with Johann maybe the things that they wanted him

427
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 3: to do at the wide receiver position, his skill set

428
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: may not have fit as much as the guys stay

429
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 3: opted to keep. So it's not necessarily it's a detriment

430
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: or a criticism or what he did. It might be

431
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: a testament to what the other guys did. So I

432
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 3: can look at it like this. Ros Philly is a

433
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 3: team that has Super Bowl aspirations. They like his skills

434
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 3: had enough to today say hey we can utilize some

435
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: put him in there.

436
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: He's by far a plus to anything they had in

437
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: the slot. Every day, I've seen over there, so you know,

438
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: and not to cut you off, but just to get

439
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: back on the office. You know those wide receivers. Yeah,

440
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: you you you hit it on the head. You know,

441
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: maybe it don't fit here, but I understand what you're

442
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: coming from saying Philly, but you have think about it

443
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: two from two aspects. Say we keep them and you

444
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: still can't pay him next year.

445
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 3: If Philly's offered me a third and Cleveland's offered me

446
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: a sixth, you tek him to send him to Cleveland

447
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: because Cleveland, let's say clevean off for four. Am I

448
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 3: gonna sit him to Cleveland for this fourth? Or am

449
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: I gonna take Philly's third?

450
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm getting a third? So it's like and you have

451
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: to be confident knowing that, hey, yeah we put him

452
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: over there. We want to see him twice a.

453
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know he'll be We all get motive, everybody

454
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: that's just to nature this baseness.

455
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: But speaking of that core, I'm pleased with it. You know,

456
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: I'm not. I've never been the guy that got caught

457
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: up on names. Now what I love to see more firepower? Yeah,

458
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: but I think man, Also, you know a lot of

459
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: that stuff stems from you know what the offense allow

460
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: you to be, you know what I mean. We saw

461
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk in his offense in Arizona, you know what

462
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and he was like whoa, and you see

463
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: what he did, went and got paid. So you know,

464
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 1: same way with Terry. When Terry came here some years ago,

465
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: what six years ago, he was a third round pick.

466
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: We never knew Terry was gonna be Terry, but he

467
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: got that because of the ability of having the opportunity.

468
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: He was available and then he had opportunity. So now

469
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna be these next guys. You know, you get

470
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: your you get your Diammie Brown, you get the guy

471
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: I can't think of his name. A lot of that

472
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: is the kids, the kids, the kids, you get all

473
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: these guys now that have the chance to step into

474
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: that molde of saying, hey, McCaffrey, you know, young guy.

475
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, he's a young guy. But

476
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: now they have the opportunity to go out there and

477
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: make do with this, you know, you know, with their

478
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: their ability and his opportunity. So I'm just looking forward

479
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: to these guys going, you know, having a great year.

480
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm not big on size because I hear everybody, that's

481
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: all you hear.

482
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: Ring on size.

483
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, because a couplet five five on a

484
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: good day went out there and and ran circles round

485
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: the best of them. So of course you're right. But

486
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: I feel like we have those kind of guys there.

487
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: You know, Jameson crowded shout out to yo GM him

488
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 3: and Pringle crowded and Pringle hats off to you.

489
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

490
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:53,159
Speaker 3: Man, just thinking about another defensive blue. Let's think about this.

491
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 3: Let's we need I think we need to touch on

492
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 3: this the defense in general. We haven't seen this projected

493
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,679
Speaker 3: starters play in a game together. You know, Duran and

494
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 3: Jonathan neither one of them played in any of the

495
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 3: preseason games, or Bobby Wagner defensively, what do you think

496
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 3: this defense is gonna look like?

497
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 2: Exciting?

498
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 3: For one reason, I love the way those guys ran

499
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 3: to the ball. And you're right, the starters that made

500
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 3: it got the reps in practice and the joint practices,

501
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: but the backups were just running to the ball. Everybody

502
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 3: was around the ball, and it looked like and it's

503
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 3: not a knock on last year and the staff what

504
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 3: they did last year, but it felt like this defense

505
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: under Joe went everybody, whether you're the first or third

506
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 3: or second team, I mean second or thirdeen, you were

507
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 3: all on the same page. You communicated, you move well.

508
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: You know, London, we talked about a defense like, ain't

509
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 3: no real big gaps here. It was a few times

510
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 3: where teams may plays whatever, for the most part, they

511
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 3: play well together at every level. So I think the

512
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: defense is gonna be exciting. And you talk and talk

513
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: about one reason is Joe Witch's attitude and what he

514
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: brings down. Another thing man is bringing in Bobby wagoning

515
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: with it. You know, people don't give that London. You

516
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 3: came in year what nine here.

517
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: Was going to season people closer and closer similar to

518
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: look like Bobby, but the similar to Bobby.

519
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 3: But people don't understand how important that is for you

520
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 3: have that type of leadership in the middle of your

521
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 3: field to get people lined up.

522
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:41,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that is not like talk about it. You don't know.

523
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 3: You have to be able to set the defense. Yes,

524
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 3: and you so from your office perspective as soon as

525
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 3: you come out, as soon as y'all come out of

526
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 3: the field, off the out of the huddle, and a

527
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,239
Speaker 3: lot of time teams don't even huddle. Now me as

528
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 3: a middle linebacker, I have to be able to see everything,

529
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,479
Speaker 3: everything in order. The reason being, I gotta set the

530
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: front to your formation and who's the who's this still

531
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: tight end? Whereas the pass if we got to blitz

532
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 3: that set off the passing strip. We got a pressure

533
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: to set off the week the weakness up the week

534
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: passing strength, so I mean weakness, uh, things like that.

535
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: All those things you have to be able to process

536
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 3: and process quickly. Because Sean is a corner, I'm relying

537
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: on London to make a ram call so that I

538
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: don't have to take on to be rock well, not

539
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 3: only you gotta you gotta you want to get outside

540
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 3: and get set and look at the formation. Now he

541
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 3: can go through his process of okay, this is the formation,

542
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 3: here's an alignments this alignment this so the.

543
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 2: Quicker you can make that call out.

544
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 3: It allows everybody to play faster and play more, play better.

545
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 3: So having a guy like Bobby Wagner, who's my season

546
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 3: and they still can play so a lot of times

547
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, we talk about the experience piece,

548
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: and he's a tremendous uh experienced player, but he's also

549
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 3: still can make play make plays. He let league and

550
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 3: tackles last year. Yeah, hell let league and tackles still

551
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 3: can make plays. I'm looking forward to seeing what those

552
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 3: guys do. I think the standard that Joe West had,

553
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: Joe Jr. Has those guys playing that practice in that

554
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: like he tell you, man, they safe for everybody.

555
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: And I'm happy you have that kind of standard because

556
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: you know, you understand, playing a long time here or

557
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 1: just in the league alone, you know you don't like

558
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: those teams where Phil has that country club by, you know,

559
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: where everybody just happy and everybody feels safe. No, got

560
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: you gotta fear that your job is on the line

561
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 1: every time you step between those white lines on the

562
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: practice field. That's how I took on practice, whether we

563
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: had them kind of coaches around or not. And luckily, unfortunately,

564
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: I've always had I guess you could say probably one

565
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: year that I didn't have a coach that put that

566
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: kind of fear in his players, and that was my

567
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: last year here, you know, understand, So so I've always

568
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: had Gibbs was like that, Shannon Hans was like that,

569
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: you have those coaches that, man, look, we're not taking

570
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: you coming out here. Lack of day zuku in practice

571
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,439
Speaker 1: or not showing up and being the guy that we

572
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: expect to be you to be on Sunday. So I

573
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: love that temperament from my staff alone, because I feel

574
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: like that's going to create the kind of chaos that

575
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: they're trying to build within. You know, you know their playing,

576
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: you know style or whatever.

610
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 3: What's it like playing under Dan Quinn?

611
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 8: I love it, I love it. I mean it's been

612
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 8: my favorite coach so far. And I think it said

613
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 8: something when you got guys like Bobby Wagner going in

614
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 8: the year thirteams who want to come and play here

615
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 8: because of coach Quinn in the atmosphere that he breathes

616
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 8: like you guys see it, like the energy, how he

617
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 8: takes care of the players while pushing us.

618
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 7: Man, there's nothing like it.

619
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, And when you get a new coach, you always

620
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 3: feel like you got to prove yourself. And so what

621
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: was it that you wanted to show the new staff

622
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 3: what you brought to the table Because they knew about

623
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 3: you right obviously, but what did you want them to

624
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: know about you?

625
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 8: For me, the biggest thing that I wanted them to

626
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 8: know about me is how hard I practice. I feel

627
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 8: like I feel like everyone is going to play hard

628
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 8: during the game. Come, I mean, that's just what we do.

629
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 8: But I take a lot of pride in practice. And

630
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 8: for me, I wanted to show them how tough I

631
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 8: was on the practice field and how I don't like

632
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 8: to miss time and really my work ethic, you know

633
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 8: what I mean.

634
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 7: So that was my biggest thing.

635
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: Being that you've been through this before, you know, as

636
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,239
Speaker 1: London just you know, he alluded to this is your

637
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: third head coach? Was it ever a time? And knowing

638
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: that we finna get a new staff in here was

639
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: it ever a time you saying how long is this

640
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: going to take? You know what I mean? Am I

641
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: going to get this staff that's going to come in

642
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: and take me to where I'm trying to go on?

643
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: So I need to go elsewhere? Like, did you ever

644
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: have any of those thoughts in your head saying, Man,

645
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: I don't feel like I want to go through this

646
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: again here.

647
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 8: I'll be honest. That's how I felt at the end

648
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 8: of the season last year. But after talking to mister

649
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 8: Peters and coach Quinn, I knew that it was something

650
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 8: I wanted to be a part of. I just like

651
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 8: the energy they brought out, like what they were saying.

652
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 8: And you know, I always said that I wasn't going

653
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 8: to let the things that went on in the other

654
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 8: regime effect my decision about this one. And you know,

655
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 8: after OTS, I was like, win, loser, draw, this is

656
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 8: something that I want to be a part of. I

657
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 8: want to see it out.

658
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: And it's Mitch just I'm glad you mentioned last season

659
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: because we had you late in the season on the

660
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 3: players Club and just looking you can see the frustration

661
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: and that you were dealing with and seeing you and

662
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 3: observing you this off season in training to cap in preseason.

663
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: I can tell a different you, different energy, different vibe.

664
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 3: You seem like you're in a better place, better space.

665
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 3: What did it take to get you there? I know

666
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 3: you went through you know, talking to Dan Quinn, talking

667
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: to Adam Peters, but it also you know some things

668
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 3: you probably had to do. Is just like, Okay, let's

669
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: really get to where I want to be and really

670
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 3: embrace this.

671
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 7: I know for me it's not about the wins and losses.

672
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 8: And I feel like that's something that a lot of

673
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 8: fans think that I'm just frustrated because we lose, which

674
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 8: I am, but whening there losing the NFL, in my opinion,

675
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 8: comes down to five players a game, give or take.

676
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 8: If they sing a different way, that's usually going to

677
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 8: determine the game. For me, it's the process, and I

678
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 8: mean the simple way I can put it. I just

679
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 8: want to be around a bunch of dudes who love

680
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 8: the game and want to play football the right way.

681
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 7: If I can get that, hey, I can work with it.

682
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: You played with Nick saban Man, but you want at

683
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 2: every level.

684
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: You won in high school, you won in college, and

685
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: I know that's been adjustment. That's adjustment in your mindset.

686
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: So you say it's not about winning, but you want

687
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 3: to win.

688
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 7: The Super one thousand percent.

689
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 8: I definitely want to win, But before I can even

690
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 8: focus on winning, if we're not doing the little things

691
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 8: right here every single day, I can't even focus on that.

692
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 8: So I love what we're building here. I love the

693
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 8: guys we brought in. I mean, obviously, when you have

694
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 8: a quarterback like Jayden Daniels really just gives everybody hope

695
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 8: and really gives you a chance because you know, without

696
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 8: having that quarterback position figured out, you don't got a

697
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 8: chance in this league in today's football.

698
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: You spoke about Bobby being here. Now has his present

699
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: been felt already?

700
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 7: For sure?

701
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 8: I Mean when you look at a guy like Bobby,

702
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 8: who's usually one of the first people here, how hard

703
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 8: he works, it really gives no excuse to anybody else.

704
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 2: You got a new DC also, Joe widd Jr.

705
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: This is his first year being a defensive coordinator, and

706
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 3: when you interview him, when we talk to him, I'm

707
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 3: looking like, man, why is it what took him so

708
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 3: what took him so long to get a deep DC job?

709
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: We know what it's like to, you know, to talk

710
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 3: to him outside of the meeting room. What's he like

711
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: in the meeting rooms and also on the field? Good question,

712
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 3: all that.

713
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 7: I love it.

714
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: I love it.

715
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 8: You guys know, you can teach anybody exs and those

716
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 8: that's not really hard. It just comes down to just

717
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 8: knowing the game of football. But when you got a

718
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 8: coach who you want to play hard for, who preaches,

719
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 8: who lives what he preaches, and loves that physicality from

720
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 8: the back all the way to the front, seven man,

721
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 8: I love it. I just love him, and I'm I

722
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 8: can't say how excited I am for Tampa bay Man,

723
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 8: and if I don't, I don't like to guarantee a

724
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 8: lot of things, but you're gonna like the way this

725
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 8: defense looks. I can't say how we're going to perform

726
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 8: because I don't like to make guarantees, but we're gonna

727
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 8: go out there.

728
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 2: We're gonna play real quick, real quick.

729
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 3: So earlier today I actually was talking to to Joe.

730
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 3: I ran into him in the hallway and I mentioned

731
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 3: to him there was a play in the preseason game

732
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:00,240
Speaker 3: against New England where they ran I think a screen or.

733
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 2: Something, and it was ten guys in the in the frame.

734
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 3: Ten guys in the frame just around the football, and

735
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: the eleven guy the only reason he wasn't in the frame,

736
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 3: so just because he was a corner, you know, playing

737
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: outside or whatever. That's what you're talking about and playing

738
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 3: with that type of intensity and just go get.

739
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: I was gonna allude to that too, because that's noticeable.

740
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: Like I mean, you know, we watching preseasons, so it's

741
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: hard to really get up for it and say everything

742
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: is vanilla. But the one thing that stands out, especially defensively,

743
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: everybody to the ball. I mean, you had young guys

744
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: in there tackling like they was linebackers. And I'm sitting here,

745
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, I was joking with Fred. I'm like, Fred, yeah,

746
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: you couldn't play very noticeable, bro, And that's something that

747
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: you know. I'm a receiver and I understood what it

748
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: took to stop guys on a high level. And I

749
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: used to I'm watching I'm gonna be real with you.

750
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: I've said this all last year. I didn't like the

751
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: way we played outside because no one was physical, Nobody

752
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 1: bumping on it, nobody putting hands, nobody. And instantly you

753
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: see that already, so you know that's that jumps off

754
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: the screen. You just spoke about it. We're gonna like

755
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: what we see. I can't wait to see. I can't

756
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 1: wait to see it in a real game, you know

757
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: what I mean.

758
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 7: It's gonna be fun.

759
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 5: Man.

760
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 8: The standards of the standard and Coach Coin said the

761
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 8: best places for anybody.

762
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 7: But it's not for everybody.

763
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: So what's next for Jonathan Allen Man, perennial pro bowler.

764
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: How do you take your game? Which is year seven?

765
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 7: Right, you're going to year eight?

766
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:33,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, what what's next? How do you take your game? Here?

767
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 8: I think for me, the difference between great players and

768
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 8: average players just consistency. Great players have. Great players have

769
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 8: more great plays more consistently. And I don't think that's

770
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 8: me going out there and search for players, but I

771
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 8: think that's me falling back on my training and doing

772
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 8: little things the right way, taking care of my body

773
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 8: like I never have before, take care of my nutrition

774
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 8: like I never have before, and just raising up my

775
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 8: floor so my floor is high consistently. So if I

776
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 8: do that, I think that's the difference between you know,

777
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 8: good and great players. So I'm looking to be great

778
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 8: more consistently.

779
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 3: You're missing changing your nutrition and you shared that you

780
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 3: hired a chef for the first time this year. You

781
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 3: look lean even at you know, three hundred poles. I

782
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 3: guess whatever you are, but you look lean at and

783
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 3: you can tell the difference. What was kind of the

784
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 3: thought process behind, Hey, I want to I want to

785
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 3: hire a chef, get in the best shape. I don't

786
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 3: know if this best shape you've ever been there, but

787
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 3: just just maybe doing something different this offseason.

788
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: What was the thought process?

789
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 8: I saw a quote from Lebron James and I thought

790
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 8: that was so interesting. He said, if you want to

791
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 8: be great in your craft, you're going to have to

792
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 8: sacrifice your loved ones.

793
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 7: You know what I mean.

794
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 8: And that's a conversation of how my wife like, we're

795
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 8: not gonna be able to spend as much time together,

796
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 8: We're not gonna be able to go out on days

797
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 8: like we like to. It's going to be a sacrifice

798
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 8: between me and you and our relationship. You just have

799
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 8: to understand why I'm doing it. So I saw that

800
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 8: and that really hit home to me because I would

801
00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 8: I want to sacrifice my relationship as much as I

802
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 8: feel like I could have, and I think that's been

803
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 8: a huge change for me. We don't go out anymore

804
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 8: handing those at seven o'clock every night, I'm putting on

805
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 8: my game ready, my normoutech got a two hour routine

806
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 8: every single night going to bed. Can't go home and

807
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 8: watch TV and spend the quality time that I know

808
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 8: that she likes.

809
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 7: But and that's why I think it's.

810
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 8: So important to have a great woman, you know what

811
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 8: I mean that I don't have to do it on

812
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 8: my own, but she has to understand if I want

813
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 8: to take my game to the next level, it's I'm

814
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 8: gonna have to sacrifice you.

815
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 7: And she's cool with that.

816
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've all had we've all been on that road.

817
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: I remember just talking to someone recently. Someone from my

818
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: university reached out to me like, hey man, we want to,

819
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, collaborate with you on Instagram about the six

820
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,800
Speaker 1: six days until we play our game. And he was

821
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: asking me some questions and I was like, that's one

822
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: of the things that stood out to me in college

823
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: that I took with myself, you know, pro wise. You know,

824
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: I remember when I got hurt my first year and

825
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: I was trying to get back to Tanner that was

826
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: playing on that level collegiately in the pros, and the

827
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 1: first thing I had to do was cut friends, cut

828
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: my eating habits, cut my hanging out having us. You know,

829
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: I knew that that got me through college. So when

830
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: you speaking of it, it just resonated with me, because

831
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: that's what people fail to realize. Like if you take

832
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 1: a little bit out. You know, Coach Coach Davis or

833
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: Bush Davis used to always ask us how many slices

834
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: of pie you giving out your pie? See what I'm saying.

835
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: If you say I got a piece for everybody and

836
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: all these other things, then you don't have enough for

837
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: yourself to be great. And that's you know that that

838
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: made me think about that. So that's the way to

839
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: go about it. Man. And I'm gonna be honest with you.

840
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: But I've been watching you every year here throughout your

841
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: whole career.

842
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 2: Here with us, and I've been watching them since high school.

843
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: Regardless.

844
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 2: I watched this West Scale scrimmage real quick before we

845
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 2: let John go.

846
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 3: You gotta tells the story about what he showed up

847
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 3: at your your camp.

848
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 2: You hand.

849
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: So you know, I through the Shawn Springs camp every year,

850
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: and real good camp. It was all about giving it

851
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 3: back and it wasn't as many high schools was today

852
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 3: and the aspern this community, and I'm looking on the sideline.

853
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 3: I see a big old dude in the cut off shirt.

854
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 3: I'm like Mackey, coach, who's the new parent. He goes, Man,

855
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 3: that's that's that's my uh my d tackle Jonathan Allen.

856
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 3: And when I said it was a tenth grader, right,

857
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,959
Speaker 3: he don't even remember he was about in tenth grade.

858
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: I said, hey, man, and I think Jonathan, if I'm

859
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: not mistaken, he just came from like Alabama or somethingwhere

860
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 3: like that.

861
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 2: He had moved up here.

862
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 3: And uh he was just a humble kid working the

863
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 3: camp at the sleeves cut off the stone Bridge. And

864
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,320

867
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,040
Speaker 3: hit the full back and slacked the quarterback. I was like, man,

00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 3: he can start for us to do.

869
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,719

896
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 2: That's what I like. You're listening to the Players Club

897
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: presented by Peptis.

898
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Players Club. This segment is called

899
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: Drive Time, presented by Eastern Automotive Group any car anyway

900
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: for everyone since nineteen eighty eight, fellas what we got

901
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: to do to get off to a fast start this season.

902
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 3: You know what, I think, first and foremost, gotta protect

903
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 3: the football. That's the first and foremost thing. Turnovers are

904
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 3: such a big indicator or determinate of who wins the

905
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: football game. So protecting the football and being able to

906
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 3: also convert on the flip side of that, take the

907
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 3: ball away. We protected the football, winning and turnover battle,

908
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: I think those are That's definitely one way we can

909
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 3: get off to a fast start.

910
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 2: For me, it's play clean football.

911
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: I think they did a good job in the preseason,

912
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: not too many penalties or whatever in games. And one

913
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: way you can lead to turnovers is you can get

914
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 3: like a holding on offense, get backed up and then

915
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 3: have a third long and you.

916
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 2: Get a penalty. So for me, it's about play clean football.

917
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 2: I don't know. Let's let's not jump off side.

918
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 3: Let's you know, there's no passing apperance, that's do all

919
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 3: the things. Let's not give the ball game away. Let's

920
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 3: let's make opponents beat us.

921
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: I think that go hand in hand. I think you know,

922
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: if you playing clean football, protecting the football. That allows

923
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: you to now get yourself in position to score football,

924
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that's that's my number

925
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: one thing. You know, when I was an offensive guy,

926
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,920
Speaker 1: uh playing each and every time we had a we

927
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: had a driver is I wanted to get get in

928
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: scoring drive, whether it's three or six, and were kicking

929
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: the extra field you know, I mean, I'm kicking an

930
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 1: extra point. You're trying to get points every time, you

931
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: feel and it makes the world of a difference if

932
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: you see yourself offensively having those opportunities, because now, regardless

933
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: of what you know happens defensively, if you're scoring, you're

934
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: still giving yourself a chance, you know what I'm saying.

935
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: If you're not and that that next team get the

936
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,280
Speaker 1: ball in driving score, you're putting yourself that far behind

937
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: the eight ball.

938
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: So, and what's what's the term is a fast start?

939
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 3: Are we talking at the first quarter of the season?

940
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 3: Is two and two a fast start? Or three and

941
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 3: one a fast start? Obviously we love to go four

942
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 3: and oh right, you know we're talking like.

943
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 2: I guess that's that's a very good point. That's a

944
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 2: great point. What's what's the fast start?

945
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 3: You know, let's say this the game against Tampa Bay.

946
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,399
Speaker 3: We haven't talked a whole lot about that. That's that's

947
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 3: gonna be a challenge going down there. But I love

948
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 3: it though, because now you Tampa Bay very under the rated,

949
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 3: under the radar type of team. They were a playoff team,

950
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 3: won a playoff game. One of the Detroit last last

951
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 3: season had them as a one score game late now

952
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter or in the fourth quarter of

953
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 3: that ball game, you know Todd Bowles and that defense.

954
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: We don't have to go in there protecting the football.

955
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 3: I think, Well, let's address the elephant in the room.

956
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 2: Then to the fast start.

957
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 3: Then with a rookie quarterback, well let's address so let's address.

958
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 2: It like you elefit of the role.

959
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, we've been messing around, but in order

960
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 3: to we all know that the quarterback position and how

961
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 3: they bring Jayden because because in the preseason he played

962
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 3: and he looked when he was in there, and but

963
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 3: that wasn't the you can't count that and that wasn't

964
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 3: the full full. Uh, what's the arsenal of everything that leash?

965
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 3: How much are you going to little faster I be,

966
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 3: how much you put on Jayden's plate the first game

967
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 3: when it comes to the play calling and you know

968
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 3: what you give him.

969
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna talk about just when you mentioned

970
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:02,320
Speaker 1: far as record wise being a fast.

971
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: Start, but it's all coming down quarterback.

972
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: It all comes to the quarterback. It all comes to them.

973
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: Its playing as a unit a fast start. To me,

974
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 1: that's gonna basically hear at both of what y'all questions,

975
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: record wise and quarterback wise. It's how how much they

976
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: look like a team out the gate. Yeah, because they're

977
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: not a team until you go out there and you

978
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: play together, you know what I mean. Yeah, we could

979
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: come out and say we all the same any more.

980
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: But when you know you have a team, it's when

981
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: those guys are complimenting each other. You understand defensively, offensively,

982
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: special teams. Everybody's out there putting each other in position

983
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: to succeed. So to me, the fast start would be one,

984
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,359
Speaker 1: how well do they look like a group? You don't

985
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: have to win to look good as a team. You

986
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: can play good enough and say, man, they just lost

987
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,440
Speaker 1: it by a field goal, they just lost it by

988
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: you know, whatever it may be. But to me, that

989
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: will that will basically get that to what you're saying

990
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: record wise, because if they look like a team early,

991
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: then they have the potential to have a better record,

992
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 1: whether it's it starts early or leader you know what

993
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean. But you want them to look like what

994
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 1: they're trying to be the culture that said, and you

995
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: want to see that out the game.

996
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely.

997
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: Now you you made the comment that the fast start

998
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 3: and getting off to a fast start and winning all

999
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 3: that it's all about the quarterback.

1000
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 2: I don't think it's.

1001
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: All about I don't really I don't think it's all

1002
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: about the quarterback.

1003
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 2: It's not.

1004
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: You don't have to put it, so go ahead.

1005
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: He's a major part of it.

1006
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: The quarterback is because the position, he's a major part

1007
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 3: of But if you think about this, there's so many

1008
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 3: other weapons that we have offen we got it. We

1009
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,439
Speaker 3: got some backs that can run the rock. We got

1010
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 3: you you can get the ball out of his head quick.

1011
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 3: We got some defense that they don't have to do

1012
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 3: their part. They don't have to make plays, they're don't

1013
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 3: have to take the football away. So the it's it's

1014
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 3: not all about the quarterback. All eyes will be on

1015
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 3: him because that's just the nature of the position. And

1016
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 3: he's the second overall pick, Heisman Trophy winner. Well, yeah,

1017
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 3: he don't have to play well, but he doesn't have

1018
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 3: to be the saving that's have to And I don't

1019
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 3: think I don't think you going to Tampa Bay in

1020
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 3: that type of environment with with the Todd.

1021
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 2: Bows defense saying hey Jaden, you gotta you know, that's

1022
00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 2: not what I'm saying.

1023
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 3: I'm saying in a different way London and Seawan Springs

1024
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 3: on defense, we know going into the game, a rookie

1025
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 3: quarterback is gonna have to beat us. That play calling

1026
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,360
Speaker 3: edge going to be. I don't care how good Santana is.

1027
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: He could be all pro. But if I don't feel

1028
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 3: like Jayden can get him the ball accurately deep ball

1029
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 3: hit me in spots, I don't have no fear. So

1030
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 3: what I was saying, it's not all about the quarterback,

1031
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 3: but it is also everybody is going into the game

1032
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 3: Kennem rookie quarterback beat me, beat one.

1033
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: But with that being said, is what that rookie quarterback

1034
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,479
Speaker 1: brings to the table as well.

1035
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,319
Speaker 2: That's exactly so.

1036
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: With that being said, you can't also be in certain

1037
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: coverages knowing that he can be running up behind you,

1038
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: behind if you got your back turned to him, that

1039
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: that's what And just from what you saw, simple sized preseason,

1040
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,400
Speaker 1: he's thrown it in him. So get your point. You

1041
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right, But when you look at him,

1042
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna come in that game saying this is what

1043
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: I know about Jaden from what I saw in collage

1044
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: and what I don't know.

1045
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. Pros give him that

1046
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 2: respect the first week. First you fastart, I don't know

1047
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: if we do, and.

1048
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: And and then you'll be that product that ball going

1049
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: behind you. You know what I'm.

1050
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,439
Speaker 3: Saying, I will, I would, I would respect you because

1051
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 3: I'm saying I'm not gonna I'm not gonna sit on Santana.

1052
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah but you But but we're talking, we're Runnon and

1053
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 2: Greg and we were.

1054
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 3: Talking like, here's the here's the thing that we have.

1055
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 3: First and foremost, they don't know what the offense is

1056
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 3: gonna look like. They mean, it's the type of bay bucket.

1057
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 3: They haven't seen Washington, the Washington command, this true offense.

1058
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: They got some. They got some.

1059
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 3: They might they watch watch and all the stuff, But

1060
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 3: you gotta understand this. It's a mession of Arizona's offense

1061
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: athlete Lynn As the run game coordinator, what he brought from,

1062
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 3: what he's bringing to from San Francisco, and those elements

1063
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:12,960
Speaker 3: Brian Johnson past game coordinated, what philosophies and things he'll

1064
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 3: he's bringing to him, you know. So there's a lot

1065
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 3: of different elements to this office. They they don't see

1066
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 3: one thing that we know. We know who the Tampa

1067
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 3: Bay Buccaneers are. They're high pressure team. They blitch the

1068
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 3: third most out of anybody in the National Football Ball

1069
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: League from a percentage standpoint last week last year.

1070
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 2: So having a game plan that has answers.

1071
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: For those blitzes is what the game plan will, you know,

1072
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 3: be highly predicated on.

1073
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:40,720
Speaker 1: And thank god they don't have shack and white.

1074
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 2: That's worrying. It is time for fan questions. Let's go,

1075
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 2: let's do this and let me kick it off. The

1076
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 2: Actress TV twenty personal question.

1077
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 3: When is the world? When in the world are they

1078
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 3: going to give you your gold jacket? I think she

1079
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 3: might be talking about London, but I will answer for myself. No,

1080
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: that was a personal questions. Here's a real question, serious questions.

1081
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 3: How do you feel about the linebacker corps and well,

1082
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 3: Jamin Davis breakout as an ad as an edge rusher.

1083
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: That's a great question. Yeah, I feel great about the

1084
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,680
Speaker 3: linebacker corps. I look at the additions that they made.

1085
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 3: First and foremost, Frankie Louvu was the highest, the highest

1086
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 3: rated linebacker free agency. We were able to get him

1087
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 3: very underrated, playing in a small market like Carolina. He

1088
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 3: just didn't hear a lot about him. He's a baller,

1089
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 3: can do everything. Then Bobby Wagner, we know what he is.

1090
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 3: Speaking of gold jackets, he will have one of those.

1091
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 2: And the young guys.

1092
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 3: You know they drafted Jordan McGee. I know he's injury

1093
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 3: right now, but I thought I thought he's he was

1094
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 3: going to sail. But collectively, it's an entirely new lineback

1095
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 3: and Corps is looking at Jamin as a edge rusher,

1096
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 3: and as it speaks to Jamin, I think he's really

1097
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 3: developing as an edge rusher and be showing that he

1098
00:51:58,520 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 3: can play that position.

1099
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: What's up? Next question? Fan question at Dominique Underscore O

1100
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: r S. I n I that because I don't know

1101
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,480
Speaker 1: how to pronounce it. What player on this roster were

1102
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: you most like to have on yours? I guess they

1103
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: can say your team, and uh so, I don't know

1104
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:21,040
Speaker 1: if it's a two question things. So I'm gonna answer

1105
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: that one first, which player on this roster? What I

1106
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: most likely have on my team? That's a good one, man,

1107
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 1: that's a good question.

1108
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: They try to ask, like, who you think is the

1109
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 3: best player that you want to say? What team were

1110
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 3: talking about?

1111
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of my Washington teams. If I had to

1112
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: pick a guy, I would have loved the two guys.

1113
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: I would have loved the dran Payne type player, John

1114
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: day Adam type player, because I felt like we was missing.

1115
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: That we had big griff.

1116
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: We had big grip, but we was missing the Pro

1117
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: Bowl caliber griff remember you good he got hurt. Was

1118
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: missing that Pro Bowl rush talent. So I would have

1119
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: loved to have two guys like then, what you about

1120
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: you guys?

1121
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 2: For me, it's Jane Daniels.

1122
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 3: I think Jaden is a I mean he is a

1123
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 3: superstar potentially in the making. You saw Chris Collins work

1124
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,879
Speaker 3: on Sunday Night said, hey man, this guy is a star.

1125
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:14,760
Speaker 2: I think Jane is gonna be starting.

1126
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 3: Let me get let me, let me touch real quick.

1127
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 3: I would love to have seen you paired with Terry

1128
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 3: Terry Klain. I think y'all too with this dabbit.

1129
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,320
Speaker 1: You're right, you absolutely right, I said, cook because you

1130
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: got a guy that's real gritty and Terry, Terry, just

1131
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 1: get it, get it done, no matter how. And I

1132
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I was like a batterina out

1133
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: there on the field, man, right on my toes. Don't

1134
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: watch the light on my toes out there.

1135
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 2: Maybe laid on.

1136
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: My toes out there, man, watch me.

1137
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 2: Man, it was like a mosquito.

1138
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 1: I was. I was tip toe across. I was light

1139
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 1: on my toes. Hey, No, okay, next question, what player

1140
00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: from your roster would most help this current squad?

1141
00:53:58,960 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 2: Me?

1142
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 3: They need a covered corner like me, I would say,

1143
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 3: I like that Chris Samuels.

1144
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 2: Though, I would say your left tackle. Yeah.

1145
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 4: In a big addition, top yeah, man, I would blue

1146
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 4: definitely because he said you need a corner, need a corner?

1147
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 2: Man? Who else Sean Oh got they got safeties. They

1148
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,320
Speaker 2: got safeties. That's left. I think we in the consistence

1149
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: may be the left tackle Trent or the left left

1150
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:45,799
Speaker 2: tack Hey Tanner on this team. Yeah, think about it.

1151
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:50,320
Speaker 2: They Yeah, you need you need more than one? Yeah?

1152
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you got two ones? Yeah, you got him

1153
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 3: and Teri's two ones. Ballerida over here, Yeah, Ballerina all right,

1154
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 3: I got a questions for you. This is ye jab fifteen.

1155
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 3: Who besides Jaden are you? Who besides Jayden are your

1156
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 3: breakout starts to watch on offense and defense this year?

1157
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 3: For me, it has to be a Centistra Mike is

1158
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 3: a monster. That kid that's gonna play. Obviously, we saw

1159
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 3: him playing in a slot London. We talked, we were

1160
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 3: talking about this earlier. We saw him playing in the slot.

1161
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 3: But we think he has a footwork and potentially even

1162
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 3: play outside if need be. I think he's a he's

1163
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 3: an X factor, is a rookie, and I think he's

1164
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 3: gonna be He's gonna be good.

1165
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:37,359
Speaker 1: Defensively, I would say Louver. I mean, don't get me wrong,

1166
00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: wagon It's gonna be Wagoned. He's gonna be the guy.

1167
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the QB or the defense. But I

1168
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: just I want to see that that kind of play

1169
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 1: from Louver level. And I don't know if I'm pronouncing

1170
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 1: his name right, you know, but Louvu love Louvu. He

1171
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: just one of those guys. He had that fact he

1172
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,879
Speaker 1: had like you just look at him. Man, the way

1173
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 1: he lines up, you are jerseys back in the day.

1174
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: He was like one of those guys watching him in practice.

1175
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: So I can just imagine how he's going to be.

1176
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: And I watched them all last year, you know, playing

1177
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 1: in Carolina, so defensively.

1178
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 3: I would say him, what about your offense, guy, I'm

1179
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 3: gonna say mine for the last both y'all got offensive guy.

1180
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 3: I want to see, you know, and I might be

1181
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 3: a little biased because I played against his dad. I

1182
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,319
Speaker 3: want to see if McCaffrey could develop into the third guy. Yeah,

1183
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 3: I want to see if he actually because because because

1184
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 3: the kids been playing with receiver two years, I thought

1185
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 3: he showed some spark in preseason.

1186
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 2: His pedigree with his family, you know.

1187
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 3: You know, so I would say him, and that might

1188
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 3: be a little bitter because I think Yai had a

1189
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:43,799
Speaker 3: great preseason, but I would love to see McCaffrey like,

1190
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be a good player.

1191
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 2: Man.

1192
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just keep it obvious, you know, I'm gonna

1193
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: go with Terry. I mean, we've seen Terry put up

1194
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 1: the number and take obvious what I'm.

1195
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 3: Saying, because because it's obvious that he's one of those

1196
00:56:58,440 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 3: guys that you can count on.

1197
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: But every year is a new year, and he got

1198
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: a new quarterback. So I want to see Terry. Terry

1199
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: hasn't been dynamic the way that we know he could

1200
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: be because of the said you understand now having this quarterback.

1201
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: If these guys get on track.

1202
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 2: He's still a rookie, He's still a rookie yet, right.

1203
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: This is the talent, the the his abilities that you

1204
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: know what, the way he can pass the ball, the

1205
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: way he can you know read right now, from what

1206
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: we saw some of the things just getting Terry the ball,

1207
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: he seemed to be a guy that knows how to

1208
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: get the guys that can help him out the ball

1209
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 1: in their hands, you know, fast and let them do

1210
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: what they got to do. So I just want to

1211
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: see Terry have a great start, you know, with the

1212
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: with a quarterback, because I think he will help the

1213
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 1: quarterback tremendously if he can get out there and show

1214
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 1: him like, look, men, I'm open s throw me the ball.

1215
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I'm so Offensively, my breakout star is

1216
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 3: be rob rob Robinson Jr. I think him in this

1217
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 3: offense was his ability or greater emphasis first and foremost

1218
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 3: on running the ball, he's gonna he's gonna put up

1219
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 3: turn up yards. He should have over a thousand yards rushing.

1220
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 3: But also his skills set in catching the football. He

1221
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 3: had natural hands catching the football. And I'm sure they'll

1222
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,760
Speaker 3: figure out ways to get him involved in the passing game.

1223
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 3: So when you can buy those two things together, him

1224
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,200
Speaker 3: being able to catch the ball out of the backfield

1225
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 3: great inferences on running the ball.

1226
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: He's going to be a breakout star in this league.

1227
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 3: And if you play fantasy football, I know a lot

1228
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: of teams that a lot of people are drafting players

1229
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 3: you want to I think you want draft well, I'm

1230
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 3: thinking about the fantasy But he is gonna split those

1231
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 3: touches with Eler on the third down, right because you

1232
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 3: never was clearly brought here for the down package change.

1233
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 3: But and then so that that's my offensive guy. Defensively,

1234
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Dorance Armstrong. Yeah, like he produced

1235
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 3: in a limited role with the Cowboys last year. Ye

1236
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 3: as a pass rusher, could go inside, could play outside.

1237
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 2: It's defensive man.

1238
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 3: He's going to play a lot more snaps here. Whether

1239
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 3: it's I don't know what the percent is gonna be.

1240
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 3: Imagine at least sixty percent of the place he can

1241
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 3: be on the field. With more snaps, he'll he'll get

1242
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 3: more productivity out of him and offenses, if you think

1243
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 3: about it, they're gonna be first and foremost. Hey, we

1244
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 3: gotta get it. We gotta get Deron and Jonathan Block.

1245
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 3: Got to make sure we get these guy So he'll

1246
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 3: be getting a lot of one on one something like that.

1247
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking and thinking that he can have a

1248
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 3: breakout season because with more playing time and the guys

1249
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 3: he'll be playing with the loan that defensive front. Let

1250
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 3: me ask you thinking about in that same line, So, uh,

1251
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 3: jar Man, he's playing d n now, right, he's an

1252
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 3: edge rush jam I'm sorry, Jamie's playing ed rusher now.

1253
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 3: So we gotta look at him as it's a new

1254
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 3: new breakout guy. Could he be a breakout guy? I

1255
00:59:58,800 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 3: don't know if he was.

1256
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 2: I don't a few standpoint how many yeah, how many snaps?

1257
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 2: So how many?

1258
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Now he could be could be that guy like like

1259
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had last year when they used to bring

1260
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: in Fouler and he got the spark he said, that's

1261
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: the defense at times. He could bring that kind of

1262
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,919
Speaker 1: spark to the defense. Just knowing that he probably gonna

1263
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: be subbed in at times when we need to play,

1264
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: need somebody to come out, you know, come off the

1265
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: edge for a little faster or whatever, because I think

1266
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: he brings that to the team more than anything. You know,

1267
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 1: he might not, he might be rusty or I can't

1268
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: even say rusty. He might be what she called it

1269
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 1: raw raw at that position. But I think with just

1270
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:36,479
Speaker 1: his ability to play fast, it's gonna be a shock

1271
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,960
Speaker 1: to I might want some teams tackle that. Oh man,

1272
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: I want. I won't ready for this. And now he

1273
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: gets he gets into a rhythm and gets into a

1274
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: groove and you know, have a good season doing it.

1275
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:49,080
