It's the Alley and Donovan Show featuring Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ali mar Pet and Donovan Smith. Now here's your host
Bucks team reporter Casey Phillips. Welcome into the Alley and
Donovan Show with special guest Ryan Jensen. And just before
the show, we had a little addition here to be
(00:26):
how has this already happened? He's just staring at the
camel where to look? That's fair? Right? Right? Are you
feeling a little nervous, Sulson, I'm good, You're good, You're right,
(00:48):
a little tired. Yeah, he seemed like a natural already
on television. Uh. And we also have the addition of
the new wardrobe over here with about getting one myself.
So I'm trying out Donovan's right, it's always it feels
pretty cool, like I get it. I think, I don't
know if I'm actually gonna get one and put it
(01:09):
feels I understand you feel like he pulls it off.
I like it. No, No, maybe it's pass the orange
tangerine a little bit. I feel like there are a
couple of different types of aligneman currently in the room
of the slightly more blamed out version that the domoinism.
Then I feel like you two are a little bit
(01:29):
more siwhere than especially the wardrobe area. Is that fair? Yes? Yes,
you know Bason is a tad bit better then Alley. Yes,
addressing at life, just dressing around. So tell me why
why is he a little bits? The car it's a truck, yeah, yeah,
Ryan has this big fancy truck. You know, it's blow
(01:51):
smoke out the bag and it has a train horn. Yes,
it's very loud. It's so loud when you like true story,
so true story. So all right, yeah, we're leaving Green
say that's usually say Tuesday bit. I'm blasted my music,
(02:12):
windows down, not paying attention. Ryan pulls up next to me.
I'm like, what do you do? And he just laughs
at me. I'm like, you are that's why you have
the train harder exactly. Prank guys, you know that's funny.
That's amazing. And is it literally like you honk your
horn and that's what comes out. It's not like a
separate horn that I have. Like I have a switch
(02:33):
that I can turn on and off, so sometimes you
can sometimes I forget that, but I have it on
and when I go to lock my trunk, it will
go off or I've I've had the occasional where I'm
I sit on my keys and I sit on the
panic button and it's just train horn for however long
until I figure out that my horn is going off.
That's amazing. So I want to hear because we're discussing
that there's some differences in how you guys maybe are
(02:54):
as old lineman, what the typical old lineman is like?
What are some of the different breed of alignment? And
I remember once you I saw that you retweeted this,
and I thought it was with funny. Somebody was talking
about Alex Kappa and they said, he looks like he
smells awful, rarely showers and it's okay with the dishes
piling up, And that's the kind of alignment I want
leading the run. And I feel like that is the
(03:14):
perception of what it takes. So I want to hear
your thoughts. What do you agree and disagree on with that?
No breaking all. I like to do my dishes, you know,
take showers and everything not. That's that's funny. Who wrote that,
I don't even remember was something that I think it
(03:35):
was like a random fan after we drafted him, and
you thought it and I could tell you that it
was very funny. I want to hear that. What are
the typical misconceptions about alignment and what you guys think
you actually are? What you need to be a good
alignment brains beauty, beauty is necessary. We have to beat
(03:56):
except cap he doesn't. He doesn't get it is an
exception brains and beauty. So true, It was really though
as far as like understanding to playbook like offensive wade
is pretty challenging. So you need to have a certain
understanding intelligence to sort of figure everything you out to
play at a high level, I think without trying to
toot our own right. But then so basically you guys
(04:18):
are all really not trying to be too arrogant. Product
scores on the wonder less, Oh yeah, all the way around,
straight a's all of that. What about in terms of personalities,
what do you think is important? What do a linemen
tend to have and personally? I think offensive linemen and
every team has the best personality in any football team
(04:38):
again back to college, like, offensive line has the best
characters personalities on the team in my opinion, Yeah, I
think I think offens the line has the most dynamic
amount of personality. You can just you know, we we
you know, have one of the bigger groups on on
the team. So just the odds are in our favorite
(05:00):
We're gonna have a bunch different personalities and I think
it's uh definitely, yeah, we have a good personalities and humility. Yeah,
the most humble people on the very look like when
Fitz was saying that after when he was going to
Shaun stuck, like gotta stay humble. So what are some
(05:21):
of the misconceptions about playing o line that you feel
like you hear from people or things that like you
don't get no respect. You want people to know about
what it's like to play a line. One thing I
want to say, maybe people who don't really like watch
football at often, but like just see a bunch of
big guys, like I'd like to say, without you know,
ragging too much. Yeah, exactly, we are decent athletes. Were
(05:44):
just we were decent athletes at some point that just
got bigger. Didn't you trip on the way over to
the studio. Yes, things happen that people assume you guys
are just kind of like taking up space. Exactly, don't
got on that guy. It's like no one well, I
mean there's a gut there, but look past the gun.
(06:09):
Do you guys hate the fact that football uniforms are
as tight as they are, especially the white ones that
are a little bit either white does us no justice?
It's fine, I know, not a michelin man, and especially
you Donnie tires Well, the jersey is wearing a looser
you mean, you can get a lot of holding calls,
so you can you can like go super tight like
(06:31):
up here around the show on a gut. You know.
That's amazing, um work, That's that's fair. Do you guys
get recognized in public? And I feel like everybody, I
feel like you guys are not the more known people
on a team typically, but you are really big, so
are people Do they tend to wonder who you are?
Do they? Do you guys get recognized apparently? On bow
(06:52):
and I mean all red heads look alike exactly, you know,
and me and Bo both, I don't know why everybody
always calls me Bo. Even our security guard out front
called I don't I don't get it, but don't figured out.
I'll figured out one day. And he actually we're talked
about that. He got a little upset because he says
(07:12):
he's not a redhead. Then it's just the beard. He's
half breed. He's not as cool to be a full rend.
So what do you get recognize? A lot? Though I
don't know what a lot is, but yeah, like I
mean occasionally the publics where like wherever, Yeah, you get
recognized for you as Ryan and not I think mostly
just kissed my hair. But yeah, I think the hair
(07:34):
and a little bit. You don't see a lot of
a lot of big you know, it's not many big
black guys with beards. You know, you're rolling around here
and just kicking it. You know, don't even tells people
he's in construction with the fast you must play show
him a little callousis the callous is right there? Construction.
(07:55):
So if people don't know who you are and they
just say do you play football? What do you pay him?
Depends on who it is in a situation. You guys
have a story like that or do you tend to
tell people? I'd tell women that first of all women. Women,
we definitely tell you if I feel like they trying
to line, you know, tell you play. I'm like, God,
do good instruction? You have stories? You just it's just
(08:18):
always handled. It's just such an awkward thing. I'm like, yeah,
I play football, play football more than bucks, and like
I feel like it's feel weird lying to them. Yeah,
so yeah, sometimes I'll lie to them, and sometimes it's
like get really awkward, like yeah, how about oh yeah,
(08:38):
the Bucks? You know I have the ass. You're like,
oh yeah really yeah, yeah, oh yeah, they're cool, you know. Yeah,
good team. When you come back, I'm to ask them
their most embarrassing football moments? Do you want when to
miss that? Come back? On the Alien Donaman Show. Welcome
back to the Alien Donovan Show, Easy Phillips. Here we
(09:00):
have our special guest, Ryan Jensen. That was oh yeah.
So every show we've discussed how people pose for photos
and then we end with that and so yeah, his
is this and he's always got the thumbs up. So
here's a the Jazz game, which is even better. I
love that. Okay, so we're talking about the idea of
(09:22):
most embarrassing moments. I think a lot of people think
football players, nothing bad ever happens, no embarrassing things ever happened.
You look like you're you're reliving whatever it is. So
I think you get to go first. So Senior, here
at the US Army All American game. Uh. We played
in the game, obviously, you know you gotta hydrate. I
had to walk from the Alamo Dome to my hotel,
(09:44):
which is maybe a half a mile after the game,
and you know how you gotta pee and the closure
you get to when you have you where you're going,
it's like, oh, I'm here, so now I gotta really go.
I peed on myself in the hallway there you go,
because I couldn't find my key. My I'm a senior
in high school. You pat your pants in the hallway
of a hotel when you were senior. I was at
(10:06):
least on my floor right outside of my door. Nobody
saw you. All of the players saw a shower. And
then I got through my bag and the key is
in there. I think everyone's allowed one your pants. It's
just everyone gets one, not at eighteen after like in
(10:26):
your adult life. You get one. That's your one, that's
your no more not. I haven't used mine yet, so
I don't want it to come up. But I know
I've got I've got one, and as soon as I
pass it, man, I don't know. You don't get embarrassed.
Is this the thing? I mean? I do, but like
(10:47):
nothing with them quite like that. I take the cake.
You took the cake a little bit. You kind of
took the took the wind out of the sales there.
That's pretty impressive. So I think we've discussed this on
the show before. But like in six or seventh grade,
just being called the girl and like like I with
(11:09):
my long hair, and it was like six I think
sixth grade or something like that was just like my nickname. No,
like they thought, yeah, we've got a picture, we can
throw a girl like like like I'd be with my
sister and they'd say, well, what beautiful daughters you like?
(11:30):
And just in sixth grade, just like that, that and
then the Alley didn't come out to Alley is a
unisex name. And I just so it's just like, oh
my god, I couldn't say anything. You could have. I
just it's just it wasn't worth it. No, at that point.
(11:52):
That's incredible. I mean, he does make a pretty very
very pretty good pictures. Yes, those pictures. This is amazing.
All right. Well, coming up next, we're gonna hear about
the other long haired oh linemen we have in here,
and about his luscious locks. And we're gonna get to
know the full range, Ince and so don't go anywhere.
(12:14):
Welcome in to the alien out of the show, especially
cast trance and whose default is jazz hands. Is is
that like that this is the nervous I don't know.
I just don't know what, dude, with my hands, it's
it's great, love it. So, I mean the hair is
really probably the first thing people notice about you, I'm assuming,
which is pretty phenomenal considering you're also huge. So like
you had one up the idea that to go past that,
(12:35):
we need to see the hair fro people, let's have
a lessons. Wo that was Oh look at that? That
is that is quite beautiful? Uh so what inspired that? Really?
See it? It's just nice and fluffy. Originally he's always
(12:59):
just had a bus cut, and uh about three or
four years ago, I was gonna just grow it out
and donated actually to like locks for love and stuff
like that, and then I grew attached to it, and
it's it's just kind of been not my kind of
my signature thing. I love that I'm about to go
to you, dude, is pretty serious. That just hides my
(13:22):
my adult chance like a curtain exactly. You know, I
don't get a powerful job. I'm ready to see both
of y'all on a shampool commercial together, just all three
of us. What what I want to do with this?
You could do a beard? One. We have a lot
(13:43):
of hair in general, a lot. Where do you feel
like you guys rank on the team in terms of hair,
facial hair, all of it, body hair? I don't know.
I don't want to know the answer to that one.
We have a we have a lot of beards. What
(14:04):
about your hair? Where does that rank you think on
the team? Solid? Top three? Top three? Yeah? Do you
think bow is better? Bow has just got the like
the long, like straight, luscious mine just like mine gets
a little crazy and while your get I feel like
as the game goes on, even it just gets in
there and just expands. That's true. Where do you think
(14:25):
you rank with your whole situation? I'm disgusting? Yeah, So
when's the last time you brush your hair? Well? I
had to because it was like a rat's and thats
going back because it had been how long since you
brush your hair? Do you help you brush you? Yeah?
That was back to that. It's it's kind of funny
because sometimes it's complicated that happened because you know, with
(14:49):
how curly my hair gets, it's sometimes it's it hurts,
it hurts to comb the hair out, so I don't
and then I get the really go so I get
these really nasty like almost like dreadlocks like in the bag.
You know what would fix that? Rushing your This is
which came first coming up next on the Alien Donovan
(15:11):
show How to Brush. So yeah, you both of you
have no recollection of how that goes between this is
quite two weeks every other day. You don't condition or
do you all condition? Okay, I don't not believe you.
(15:32):
I've got the ause stuff, the purple bottom, I do condition.
I feel like you're just the candidate waiting to replace
Troy Paul Malu head and shoulders I've I've been working on.
I've been trying to work on. It's just not happening.
This this is our new campaign is now because we
need the help to alleviate the rest shoulders. Are you
(15:54):
gonna start talking in Australian accent to try to help? Then?
I'm like, I don't think you wanted enough. That's what
I not what I feel like that And we also
have our on the show we we had some questions
about teammates, and whenever it was about cooking or food related,
you were their answer. So do does that make you
happy to hear that? They were very respective? I'm bad.
I like my food, yes, enjoy cooking yeah? And what
(16:15):
are you really good at cooking? I'm a good barbecue.
I like barbecue steaks. I mean I cook it a
little bit of everything, but my specialty is probably like barbecue, brisket,
pork and stuff like that. Burnt ends stay wait not
you're gonna be waiting a while. It takes too long.
Taste you gotta burnup. It takes a long h what
do you feel like you is that what you enjoy
(16:35):
eating the most? Enjoy cooking the most. It's like sometimes
it's weird, like when I you know, barbecue takes a
long to cook, you know, twelve to eighteen hours. Sometimes
it's like by the time it's ready to eat, I
don't even want to eat it because I've been just
inhaling smoke for the last eighteen hours. You know. So
I enjoy eating it, but I think most of the
(16:56):
time I enjoy cooking it more just the challenge of
doing it. So, you know, if you need a reason
to do that. I'm sure we would all be very
willing to help since you don't enjoy eating it that
much at the end. Willing and able. And also I
think didn't you answer him for the one that we
could eat the most on the old line? Yeah? Like
often line dinners every Thursday, I think, without fail. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(17:19):
I always. I always say I don't I don't eat
until i'm full. I eat until I hate myself. Every time,
every time it was every time it's just like just
right here, it just hurts for about two It's like
it doesn't look pleasant. I don't know how he enjoys it.
I don't know either. Just indulge. That's a great strategy.
We should all try to be more like Ryan Jenson.
Wean wee were sign with Coming up don't go Anywhere
(17:41):
on the Alley and Donovan Show. Welcome back into The
Alley and Donovan Show with special guest Ryan Jensen. Alright,
so Carolina coming up this weekend divisional opponents. I know
that's always big. You guys like to say one game
is just one game, but is it fair to say
that the division ones you get a little bit more
(18:03):
hyph for mean a little bit more. Absolutely, Yeah, counts
double done it when you win and about on the road,
does that make it? I mean, math is not our
strong suit on the show. It just it counts. It counts.
It's huge. Yeah, that's true. What about their defense. I
know that you guys have definitely faced them more often
(18:25):
you're new to this division, But what about their defense
tends to stand out with the identity of that defense
that you guys have to go against is the quarterback
of their defense, and he knows a lot, a smart player,
and he's able to communicate with them and get everyone
on the same page pretty quickly and make adjustments. And
he's a good player. And so for you that's huge
(18:46):
because then you're the one playing chess with that. Is
that a fair way to put it? Yeah, a little bit,
a little he's making adjustments, I'll make adjustments. It's players
are really that's what you're doing. We're playing. We're playing chess,
is exactly. So how much does it challenge you and
your job when you know someone is really good at that?
On the other side, I mean it's challenging for a
(19:06):
little bit. You know, we just gotta stay within our
scheme and stuff like that, and uh, I mean when
he's up there changing stuff up on defense, you know,
we just gotta stay to our base base rules and
let it roll. That's what is the biggest mistake you
can make when someone is doing that. Is it almost
like you can overthink things? Yeah? I think you know
when you when you start overthinking things, you start playing slow.
And playing slow is it is never a good thing
(19:27):
in the NFL's And also something I mean it's important,
it's an offense is to really over communicate. And I
think you can be scared to do that against someone
who's able to pick up on things, but you can't
be afraid to overcommunication. You're this is good that we
had a practice this week. We had practice communication. Since
you guys did so well in the show, I have
(19:47):
high hopes for how it's gonna come in CareLine, Ryan,
thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. And then yes,
we have that. This is how we end our show.
Is everyone doing the post? Oh yeah, I gotta do
all of them. And it's seeming too hard to remember
this this Alan's was we're not doing all You're like that,
I can't take any year olds. We're just doing we're
(20:09):
doing to
