It's a iny, beautiful thing. All the changes they've made
out here. I mean, you know, I know we've been
out here for a while and they've been working on
changes to this whole facility for months for nunstop.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah, for nunstop.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Like you gotta realize how chaotic it is in this building.
We got more than ninety football players in this building.
We got everybody at every part of the media in
this building. We got construction companies walking pall we just
walking past each other, working on every part of this campus.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
It's unbelievable. I can't say enough about the new ownership.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
They are, like I said, they are cutting no expense
when it comes upgrading everything about the Washington experience.

It's awesome. We're gonna talk to Will Harris coming up theater.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
In the show. You know, fellow Mississippian. You know what
I'm saying. I hate the brag he didn't go to Texas,
but I hate the brag.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You mean the Women's College World Series champion, Texas long Ones,

Speaker 3 (01:17):

just Chextes all the big name of schools.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
It makes the rich rich.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's just one of them things where now you get
to kind of put your muss out there in construt
I understand.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Let me ask you this, what was media day like
for you?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I feel like you someone who thrives in the spot
because I walked in, I'm like, oh, there's that Kertz
walking around in full pads, and now I hit me, oh yeah, yeah,
everybody's getting their pictures taken to day and everything.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Did you enjoy this or was it kind of a grind?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Most of the guys did in Santana hated media day.
He ready to get in and get out, London ready
to get in.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Get me. I'm just as giggly, like it's like opening.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Day to me because it's a surreal feeling because I
remember my rookie year jinks and we had to do
media to day.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Of course I know nothing about.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It, right, and to me, especially for these young rookies,
this is the first day it really really hits you.
Besides seeing your locker the first time. This is when
it hits you that our man, I'm a part of
something great. Yeah, because now I have to do the
deposes and I have to do this and I have
to do that. It feels different. It feels like, hey,
(02:32):
I'm a part of this team. I'm part of this organization.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Man. So I enjoyed it all. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We were getting passports made ready to go to Madrid.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Listen, it's not an inch of this campus not being
used right crazy, Like that's what I'm saying, Jenks, It's
not an inch of this yard not being used right now.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And you were saying earlier. I think Logan does not
like getting his picture taken.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Logan hates getting his picture taken.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
London should hate getting his taken in Santana, Santanna runs
away from a camp.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah that that doesn't spius at all, Like Tenna doesn't
want to hear that now, you know. But it's really
exciting because i mean seeing a guy in a uniform,
I'm like, oh yeah, like we're here.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I mean, football season is Football season is here.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Like it also is a signal to us training camp
is on the way. Like it lets you know that
time is ticking down right now, We're getting closer to
real football. And if you're a Washington fan, you gotta
be excited because we just was.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
On this adrenaline rush.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
We just was on this this long ride that ending
in the NFC Championship game. I'm sure, like me, the
fans cannot wait to get back in Northwest Stadium.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
And for the first time. Isn't it nice? You know
how it was a few years ago it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Was if everything goes right, yeah we might, we might.
And here it's all right, we know how good this
team could be. Now we continue to build upon that.
That's just a different vibe.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
In the offseason.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
No, it's a vibe now, like can we get back
to four quarters away from the super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Like I have played for this team since O one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This is truly the first time when we say super Bowl,
nobody's looking at us crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Abe.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
When we say super Bowl, they say it's warranted.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
When we say, hey, we try to get to the
super Bowl, they say it's possible. When we say we
try to get to the super Bowl, people from other
fan base say, y'all have a real legit chance. And
I think this this una believing in itself, that shows
you that once you get the quarterback, right Jinks, everything
else followed out.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So we're gonna play a little game here on wild Cards.
By the way, Anna is working three cameras right now
hard and show being rushing in.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So we're gonna hear from Anna later on.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
She's gonna read us the voicemails that we normally get
because it's hard to hear them with all the sound
back work being done. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So we're gonna
play wild Cards, which is NFC East players. Yeah, who
could change the entire season for their respective teams offense, defense,
One on each side.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Your call start with Let's start the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Let's start with the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Everything started with Dak Prescott, my bulldog brotherren all Right.
Quarterbacks change games, quarterback change franchises, quarterback change team's destiny.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I think the pressure is on Dak right now.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I think the fan base is growing a little, you know, weary,
the restless. They want, they want to succeed, they want
to get there. Everything starts with Dak Prescott. So on
the offensive side, I'm putting the pressure on Dak. On
the defensive side, I'm gonna go tray vun dig.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I was gonna say DIXX to it. Michael Parsons is easy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But they need Dick. They need they need Digs. They
did get reveled in the draft. It's not gonna be
ready for the opening of the season, we don't know.
But they need Digs to get back to how he
was playing two years ago. Like they need him to
be their turnover machine, not the guy that gives up
a lot of yours. I think if they get good
coverage from him, good great quarterback, not good quarterback play,
(05:59):
great quarterback play from Da Prescott, they got a chance
to be a good team and they got to be
a chance to be a hard team to beat.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Period.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I will say, Kit, I'm interested in watching and his
name is case Me.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's that defensive end from Boston College that I know
you're as a.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
As a root ca A. Yeah, I mean that kicking.
All he does is make play to watch.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
He can go get it. That's why we reinforced. They
went there as a rookue.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We went cunningly like so you're seeing that the better
of the brains right there.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I also sit to not a player. But how is
Brian Schottenheimer gounna fare? I mean, we don't know, and
certainly this is a high profile position.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
His father was a legend.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
No, his father drafted me. Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
This so Brian was here with his father when I
was drafted. So I got a lot of respect for
his father. I love his father rist in peace. But
it's a lot of noise over there at the captain.
Can't he blocked it out? And just coach, do you
think that's possible?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Jeans?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, that's that's a hell of a job to have
as your first head coach.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's the job I would rather have another start of
job with you before I go there. But I think
he's ready for it. He was born in coaching and
I think he will be a good coach. The question
is can he take Dak Prescott to another level?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
That's the big question.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
What about the Eagles?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I would say when it comes to the Eagles, Ken
Jalen Hurts as good as he plays in the super Bowls,
he doesn't play that where all the time in the
regular season, Right, Can Jalen Hurts take it to another level?
Can Jalen Hurts be efishing throwing the football?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Can he do that?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Because it was some times last year will Aj Brown
was reading magazines on the bench. You know he was
getting mad because because he was missing throws. So I
think it's a lot of pressure there. And also.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Can they replace the people they lost in their secondary?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You know it be easy to pick one guy. But
that's the one thing about winning Super Bowl. Happened a
couple of years ago when they made the Super Bowl
and didn't win it, where you lost a lot of
important pieces.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
How Like, you gotta realize this guy brings playmaking to them,
and you lost that guy, then you lost Sweat, then
you lost Milton, Then you like guy at the guy.
The guy, so they got to replace like seven starters.
I want to say, yeah, so that's gonna be the
big thing. How fast can that young talent mature? But
I think I go Jalen Hurts on this side, and
(08:21):
I go to maturity of the guys that're finna take
that next step, and.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's good as sacond one is.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Like defensively, if you're an opposing defense, I want Jalen
Hurts to try and beat me with his arm and
that tells you everything.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, like they just tell you.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
He has to take the passes to the next level
for them to really be what they call back to
back Super Bowl contenders, which is hard.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
It is.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's never it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Look at the Chiefs, you know, even when they get back,
like it's just it's just hard.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's just hard.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's a hard thing to do because you gotta realize
your season is elongated. You don't get the rest everybody
to get. That's why everybody's always talking about the Super
Bowl hangover. It's not because they parted the whole time.
It's because you played a not that month and a
half of football when other guys did.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
How about the new York Football Giants, New York Football Giants.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
All right, low hanging fruit is for me to just
go up there and say, you know what, Russell Wills right.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
If he's even the guy this yere, I think they
want Jackson Dart to be that guy.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
You drafted Jackson Dart to be that guy. Like the
question is how fast?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So are you winning to put Jackson Dart out there?
That's gonna be the question. You're gonna have to wait
till he can protect himself from himself and that make
takemic season. They might, but if they start off slow,
I think then he get put in the fire regardless
of what, because they want to see what they have
in him. I would go, I ain't gonna put the
pressure on Russ Rusbin there did that?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
What do you have in Jackson dark you? Is he?
What do you have? Is he your future? On defense?
I hate to say this, Triple Dough, Sexy Dixon.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Resky jax Man, that guy is a football player.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Brian Burns.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That defensive front of the Giants. I don't know which
guy is the most it's probably probably Sexy DAXI. But
across the board in the front there is as good
there's good against.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
This a game where your offensive line have to earn
their money. Jinks, they got to earn their money. So
as good as that front is, can the back in
cover long enough for them to get to the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
That's who I'm putting the.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Pressure, and finally your Washington commanders to take it to
the next level.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
We still need growth, believe it or not from Jaden.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I hate to tell y'all this and report the news.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
That was the ground floor we saw him last year.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, like, to me, that's the worst he'll ever be,
and he was damn good. So I just think it's
one of them things like we're gonna see his game
be refined. We're gonna see him now take their third
step as a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I am an elite thrower.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I am an elite runner now, I know how to
escape the pocket and I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Still looking down the field to throw.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now become a three way threat to a team. So
I would say Jaden, I wouldn't. I ain't got him
as the guy that needs to step up. I would
say the guy that will probably need to really take
the next level.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Laramie Tunzel, I just.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Think Larimer, I think he's just certified.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
He's certified, but they haven't had a dude like that
where since it's like we don't have to chip anyone,
just put Laromie on someone and let him work.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
So Larim is your pick. Yeah, I go Deebo Samuels.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Can Deebo Samuels get back to the Deebo Samuels up
two years ago?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I want to see him touch the ball.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Jet sweeps, screams, punt return, kickof return, like, I just
want him to touch the ball.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
He did great equalize it. If you ask me what
he does.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Last year, a lot of people said, why Terror ain't
getting the ball? They was double team and tyr Yea
and Jayde is so good that he's just not gonna
force it just to force it to tarry. Well, Debo
is the great equalizer. He's gonna make sure everything equals out.
And now everybody has to play this team on its
so on offense, I'm going Deebo Samuels on defense. I
(12:02):
hate to do it to the rookie, but rookie Mike
Sarah Steele showed out last year as.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
A rookie gonna so my dude, I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I love Sarah Steel. So now I'm gonna put the
pressure on the new rookie, Amoless. Can you can you
step in and do similar to what Mikey did, get
better every week and down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Can we lean on you when in coverage?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And I love their two different body types, two different styles,
two different styles, but can both be effective obviously, And
Mikey did a great job last year, like getting out
of the slot when he had to, just doing what
he had to do.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
But he go your strengts.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Now you get to move him back in the slot
when it's three wide receivers on the field, strengthening in
your team even more.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
That's the thing about it, man, Like, now people get
to play some of the real positions that they really
feel comfortable.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
One guy we're excited about too, Johnny Newton.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I've just been told he's going to join the shows
out right and now, oh yeah, so he's coming soon.
We're gonna talk with him, Gonna talk with Will Harris
as well. But first let's talk. In fact, let's go
to Will Harris ringa Will Harris out with him.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Let's do that.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Here we are Media day, bumping de Will Harris. I
just found out his daddy is my dog brother. His
dadd is a Mississippi State bulldog. So now I know
Wheel was.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Raised right right, so now we can talk to him.
Yeah right, all right, It's good to.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Have you here.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
How's the transitioning thus far, you know, becoming a commander
and coming here and getting acclimated to everything.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Yeah, man, it's been great. It's been great.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
It's always uh, it's always great to get back around football,
get back on the grass.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Man. It's just do what we love every day.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Just coming in the building every day and working with
the guys and building that chemistry and you know, so
they could you know, we can get out there on
the grass and communicate together, build that chemistry out there.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Has been amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You know what, you have a unique perspective because you
didn't play for the team last year and now that
you're here. Take me to last year when you like,
you're playing for the Saints, but you're watching the team
from afar. Tell us how to outside world was viewing
the Washington football team.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
That made you want to be a part.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Of it, no doubt.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
I mean I would say, you know everything that you see,
everything that the world can see on TV, everything how
you know, how the team carries themselves like everything, you know,
all of.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That was, you know, was tangibly visible.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
You know when you're playing them, it's like momentum is
a real thing, and that is you know what I'm saying,
and so h you know, it's more than just you know,
to just raw raw like you know that's anybody could
you know, yeah, exactly, but here is real.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
It's real and you could sense it.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
It's not something that necessarily someone has to say, but
you could sense it.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
And the way that they rally around.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
You know, when I was you know, at my previous
team last year playing you know, uh, when we had
that game, were playing, you know, you could sense it
rally behind each other. You know what I'm saying, good
and bad play, you know, it's like whatever, like not
falling into the ebbs and flows at the game, but
you know, just staying level, you know what I'm saying,
Playing with great communication, Guys trusting each other, guys flying around,
(15:00):
playing for their brothers.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
So all of that.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Man, you can feel that, especially being on the field,
you can feel the team that's that's you know, that's
buttoned up like that.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
So most of them I do know I was impressive
for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
This organization definitely does not go after players unless they
feel like, hey, they could play and the fit.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, they have a type of guy.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So what does it feel like to be a part
of this organization Because they've proven the jettison guys that
aren't part of it, and they'll bringing guys they feel
like this guy.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Could be a commander, no doubt. Well, I'm you know,
first things first, man, I'm honored. I'm honored and highly blessed.
And you know I don't take that lightly at all.
You know, obviously I have a great, great relationship with
everybody here, everybody in the building. You know, this OTAs
and springball has been huge for me just to be
able to be around everybody and get to know everybody
on the more personal level. But what I can say is, man,
(15:48):
I'm I'm super honored that honored and humbled that you
know that was able to work out.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
You know it was able to work out.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
I was able to get the Washington man, and I
you know, whatever I can do and everyone I tell
everyone here, you know, I tell everyone here that the
same thing, you know what I mean, whatever I can
do on off the field, whatever I can do to
help to help this.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Team, and you know, to keep that train rolling.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
You know, that's what I'm here for, so this organization
can expect every single thing out of me.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I know it was easier transition for you when you
had a guy that used to be in your old
locker room in Monshal and lat them more when you
get here. But how's it been connected with the other
guys to Mikey Simrastills in the rest of the guys,
the qun Martin's how's that transition being? And I know
it's still an ongoing process. I've been in the off season.
The closer we get to you know, training camp, the
closer we started to get as a team.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But how's it being with the rest of those DB's
in the locker room?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
So no doubt, man, it's been amazing.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
This is what this time is for, you know, not
only getting out on the field together and learning how
learning how each and every one of the guys communicating
their own way, learning how to all speak that same
language out there. It's you know, this is a great
you know, time of year to do it. This is
what OTAs is for. But also I mean just being
like getting together off the field, you know, hanging out,
(17:01):
you know, you know, catching up, sharing you know, life stories,
learning about each other's families. All of that stuff matters,
and it matters and it matters here, and it's a
priority here. Getting to know your brother, getting to know
the guy who's lined up with, all those things are
super important. So this time of year has been has
been pivotal for you know, for that, you know, learning
how to d be.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It's like like you were saying, like on some grass,
I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
One hundred per one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I mean, this is what we I mean, Obviously there's
a you know, there's a time into this thing, me
being year seven, and then I understand that there's uh,
you know, there's phases in the off season. There's phases
until you you know, until you line up you know,
in September, you know, for that first game. So but
you know that that's the part of being a pro,
and that's part of being a professional is embracing each
(17:51):
phase along the line. And obviously we still you know,
we still got to close out and finish up strong, uh,
you know, with ots in the off season, and you
know we'll get rid of that. You know, we'll get
through with that phase and then at some point we'll
you know, we'll all go home and and indo our
thing and train and get ready for camp. Then we
gotta put it in for camp, and then all throughout
the season there's gonna be phases that you know you're
(18:13):

and be a probout. I mean, I'm ready for it
as it comes, so.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I can feinish steaming off you man.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Thank you for sitting down with his wheel and you

Speaker 4 (18:34):
All right, I got you, man, thanks for stopping by that.
I appreciate it, my man.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Appreciate you. Man.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We're going defense today because.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Defense winning championship. Offense sale tickets, jacous. You know that's
how I feel.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Man, We don't get the love.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You know, you go to a game, you see fifty
million teary jerseys, you see j D five out there,
and then you just see a couple of defensive jerseys
sprinkling all over the place.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Were gonna get out of this.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
It's like being in church and here, Johnny gun it
is right now eat.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I mean, how are you feeling? I mean healthwise?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Number one and number two that now you've gotten that
rookie season over with, which we'll talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But it feels like now you relaxed, You're just ready
to go.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
I feel like I'm just one of the guys. Now, yeah,
I was a rookie. You're nervous about everything, trying to
make everything perfect. But I feel great. Man, This off
season doesn't on mean anything. I'm perfectly healthy. I feel
great best I felt them a long time, So awesome.
I'm ready for it all.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Well, that's good because you know, coming from college, I
tell people all the time, your senior year or whatever
year you come out of college to the pros is
the longest year of football you ever behaved like, because
not only do you finish your college season, you go strape,
work for the combine from the combined interviews, get draft
to get on your team, continue playing football. How did
it feel they had it first off season to just
(19:50):
take a deep breath and say.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
All right, all right, I'm in the house.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It might've been too good.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Tell what I'm saying, though, because you had to deal
with injuries like you aren't like you just I'm just
gonna be hurt you like I'm gonna keep on playing
through these injuries. So I know this had to just
be a big sign of relief for you to relax
and say, you know what, let me take a couple
of weeks to myself.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Yeah, for sure, man, the July break that we had,
I was here the whole break. So this year, man,
it felt great. Got time to spend my family. Yeah yeah,
my daughter and my friends back home. It was a
great feeling, man. And I can't wait for another break.
I'm ready for it all. I'm ready for it all.
This season, Like I said, man, I got the rookie
(20:32):
Jetters out of me, so.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You know what, the departure John Allen and stuff like that,
the team gonna ask more from you. But what I
feel from you, you want more, right, you want more,
So you're ready for a bigger role for the team.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Runner.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
That's the fact.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Man, I can't complain about having a lot of food
on my table when I wanted to eat.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, yeah, you actually I serve you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
What did you learn like or what surprised you?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You know, going from college to the pros last year,
we thought, oh I didn't expect this, or oh I
gotta take this more seriously.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Speed size was it?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:04):
Yeah, the speed everybody always talked about. You know, once
you get to the NFL, to speed gonna be different. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Uh, I played in a big.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Ten, so all them old line was big yeah, big ten.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
But you're right.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Just the the intensity, the speed of the office alignment here,
and just the professionalism college, you know, running around, playing around.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
With your friends. And if you dumbin it, you just bet.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Yeah, if you dominate, you better than everybody here. Yeah,
you better get in where you fitish.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, because it's just everybody parted at one percent, you
know what I'm saying. And then it would make it
good in the locker room. I always tell people were
all good in different ways. We might play the same position,
but I might be better than him at this, but
he better than me at that.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And I used to learn from my guys, like the.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
One thing I did a good job, but I used
to take a piece of every one of my team
makes it incorporated. I don't care if it's the mental port.
I don't care if it's studying what it was. I
used to just kind of cheery pick off them guys.
Have you kind of start to do that.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
Yeah, I was doing that last year, man, and uh
we had a lot of vests. We still got a
lot of best And I'm still doing it, you know,
this year two for me. But I'm still a rookie
in the locker room, so I'm still cherry picking. You know, Pain,
Ken Law, Sheldon day Man, those guys great.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
But you gotta learn from Pain through watching him because
he don't talk much.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Oh yeah, once you get to know Pain here, talk
he me and paining me and Pain we called that's
my dog. So he'll talk to me. Helped me out
through my mistakes, and uh, that's like my big brother now. Honestly,
I used to say John, my big brother. Paying my
big brother too, and uh the saying the greatness that
he had. I want to follow in those first steps
and do better.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
When you talk about those guys, it's interesting because everybody
throws around the word culture and being closed. But everyone
we talked to here and just listen to you now,
like it's a real thing in this locker room.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I know I can't speak for every other locker room,
but in this locker room, were happy for each other's success,
like we want each other to do better.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
That's no.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
Man, he planning ahead of me, like I got beef him.
Man Like, Man, go do your thing. Yeah, because we
all doing our thing and we make it to that
next level.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And that's what we won't Man, that's a championship mindset. Now,
that's that's totally different because I have been in locker
rooms bickering and you know this guy WON'TSTA. That's all
from coach Queenn. That's all that leadership story from the top.
Talk about how he's affected the way you view football.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
DQ is the standard. Like for everything we run through DQ.
The energy that DQ bring every day, you see it
through us. Like everything that y'all see on the field
off the field, our energy right now, I feel like
that's from DQ. And uh, he made us comfortable enough
to do that, and he trusts and believe in us.
So man, all praise to get DQ.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I'm motivated to you guys now after being so close
last year, all that you accomplished.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Four quarters away from greatness, it got to sting a
little bit, but it also got to be promising.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Cut you right, Yeah, man, A lot of those guys,
even the first of black game, like, man, we've been
in the Laite for a long time and young don't
know how hard it is to be here. But it
was my first year, so I'm just I'm still soaking
it all in, you know, taking the week by week.
But now I look back at it, I'm like, man,
that was great, but it wasn't great enough until we
get that. So yeah, it was a bettersweet moment. Like
(24:14):
I said, we we was happy we got there, but
wasn't satisfied with the results. So about to work.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Listen, this is where y'all here set the bar. The
bar is said, and y'all sit the bar through y'all plate.
And I know how we always talking in the locker
room for the guys that still here that they took
their ride, And first of all, I want to thank
y'all for taking us on that last year. Listen, the
fan base is still on fire about it. Do you
(24:40):
feel a little pressure now that you got one game
from the Super Bowl? Do you feel like, hey, you
know what, maybe I need to take my game to
a next label to get us over their little hunk.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Yeah, all the pressure on the road, but God give
us suff as battles to the toughest soldiers and uh
we the hunters know we're not yea.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Nobody.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Yeah that's not like all we got the commanders were
We gotta play the commanders this week.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Buckle up.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
So that's that's that's a blessing though, to be in
that position, and we don't take any moment for granted.
We're still working like we're the underdogs every weekend.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
That's the mindset.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
They gotta be the it's twenty two. We always talk
about on this show, how you know the.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Latest rookie class is always the one people focus on,
But we're like we forgot about years ago. So like
I would imagine you guys are really looking forward to
taking that next step because you've gotten that rookie season
out of the way.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
The focuses elsewhere. Now you can just develop and become
the player you want to beat.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
That's a fact.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Our rookie class really gonna be the standard for the
next generation of this team. Uh where's d q A
P first draft class? So like the standard gotta be
set through us for this rookie class and the next
rookie class, and.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Uh for those guys.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
We got to be those those ogs who go hold
them accountable of everything and show them the way.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
So it's a it's a great.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
It's a crazy situation. It's like it's like the big
brother the moment.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Dad.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Know, if I raised big brother right, I don't have
to worry about the other kids because here. So it works.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Man, Jay, thank you for stopping by getting out man,
thank you for being here. And I can't wait to
see you play this year.
Speaker 8 (26:10):
Bro, I appreciate you all.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Let's get it.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Thank you man. Great talking to those guys. We got
a special guest London.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
He's here.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
He's gonna drop and talk to us.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
But first, I mean, m w a A. We don't
travel to escape life. We travel so life doesn't escape us.
We dream of a place anywhere in the world and
in the blink of eye, we're there.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
That's the one that fly.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
All you have to do is side where to Dullas
International Airport. Let your imagination sore, book your adventure today
at fly Dullas dot com. Slash none stop beautiful Missippi
State Education.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I was impressed the whole time because you were waiting.
Speaker 9 (26:54):
Absolutely, I'm not gonna let anything past.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's good, mister yellow jacket. They ain't nothing wrong with it.
Hey man, media day. I know it wasn't really a
big name for us, but did you even have any
feelings on media day? You would just tell like saying, town, let's.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Just get it over and keep on.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
I was like tying to just get it over. It's
one of the things you have to do. I'll say
one thing. I see all a bunch of items that
the players have to sign. Something some of the key
players had to sign. Now, that was my least favorite thing.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
Man, it might be several hundred items that you have
to sign for different you know, people, groups, whatever the
case may be.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
So that was my least favorite of it. But it
was something that you had to do.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
I thought it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I always thought it was an honor to do it
because okay, Idnet made it another year. It was like
the thing to see, it's another year for you keep going,
and it was kind of give it signaling to me
training camp coming.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
Getting getting closer, Yeah, getting closer.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Absolutely, even after all this time. You two kind of
an itch this time of year, being around us where you're.
Speaker 10 (27:56):
Like, nah, nah, man, I'm well pasted it. I will
say this and smooth nah and tinning all us and logan,
we've all talked about this. The grass smells different this
time of year. It smells like football.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
It's weird.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
But unless you're in it, like you know, like man,
it's getting close to that time of the season, like
it's a switch that goes off, especially as a player,
like I need to really ramp up my training getting
ready for training count and then.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
What I tell people, it's a couple of jobs football
players could do at the football one we can do
love making it we know what grasts men. We could
be a weather man because we can sense, smell, rain, storm,
all of this. And we can also be a doctor
because we know every bone in the body, every month
in the body, and we know how long the rehab is.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
We know how long it don't take to do it.
So it's a couple of job that sports hand.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
You can ask your question and you can answer this
too when you talk about that switch and London, you particular,
is interesting because you know, throughout your career you were
known for being out of community doing a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I know you both did.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
So how do you go from being this person who
is is always trying to help people out, a very
good person, but then once the lights come on, people
tell you this guy is a football player, Like that's
a switch just like you were talking about that goes off.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
You know, it's it's just once you step between those
white lines. Man, I talked to this, talk about this
all the time. I don't believe in peace treaties. So
when when when I'm in training camp many camps, O tas,
whatever the case may be, especially training camp, and you're
going to gainst your your teammates, but it's an opponent
during that that competition phase and you know, hey, let's
(29:34):
take it easy today. No, I'm not getting better by that.
You're not gonna get better. So I don't believe in
peace treaties. Now, once we're outside those white lines, I
know how to dollar back. I can't be at home,
you know, my kids, stores and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
You gotta know, you gotta know when when the kind
of act like it's a billion All right, we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Play a game with you, le own the money, ara ball.
We're gonna say some phrases me and you have some
intimate knowledge of these phrases. You're gonna tell me, do
you think it are? You can tell me what was
different about these guys? Do you believe this this statement
is true?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
True?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Or what?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
All?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
First statement is this, Peyton Manning was better than Tom
Brady for most of their career.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Whoo man, you come out the game. Here's what I say.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
And I get asked this question a lot, like who's
the better quarterback between those two? I tell people Peyton
was the most difficult quarterback to prepare against, prepare.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
For, because even checking everything at the.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
Last, so that week of practice, preparation leading up, everybody
had to be on the same page, especially the back end,
making sure our disguises look the same. We're not giving
him the answers to the test before beforehand.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
But Tom.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Greater competitor. Yeah, he's a buddy.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Keller rose to the moment.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
The moment I say this early in Peyton's career, obviously
he was, I thought, yeah he was, he was. He
was actually do more than Tom. Yes he was for
the majority of it.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I also think he had better players players.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
But there was that point where they were here and
then Tom knows last I would say the last four
or five years of Tom's career, he cemented his legacy
as in my opinion, greatest, the greatest to ever do it.
And that's hard because I mean, I love him both.
But you know, so is that on the money or
you still politicians? Based on the question, you said, Peyton
(31:42):
for majority most of his career was better.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
Was kind of actually do.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
More then, And I would say having Marvin Harrison, Reggie,
Wayne Dallas, Clark Edrin James, because Peyton had the better
group around him, I have to say he was better
for most of only because of.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
That group and also New England and Belichick in particular.
They were gonna do whatever they need to do to
win that game. So they going to Kansas City, you know,
several years ago, and they run the ball seven time time,
whatever the case may be, Like, yeah, Tom, you can,
you can throw it around the yard, but we need
to keep Kansas City offense and the Mahomes on the
(32:20):
side of Mahomes, Mahomes on the sideline, so we're gonna
run the ball. So they understood whatever it took to
win the ball game.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
YEP.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I agree with him, and I just say only because
of the weapons but both players was there.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
You can't lose with either one. All right, here's the
next question.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
If Jayden Daniels develops this offseason, Washington will be the
most exciting team in the NFC East this season.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Yes, And I'm gonna say this because I know what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Then Bleacher creatures from Philip I'm going to jump all
in the DMS and tell me what it ain't.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
We know this for the last what twenty five years,
we haven't had a back to back win.
Speaker 9 (33:01):
At least twenty years, least twenty years.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Are you add that with a slight little Super Bowl hangover?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
You add that with losing six to seven veterans on
your defense, maybe, especially if Jayden takes it to the
next level because he wasn't a problem in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
Is and I say on the money and you talk
about it's not even just about Jane developing. You look
at the pieces they've added around offensive line, be much improved.
The weapons you trade for Deebo Savage, you drafted a
Jayleen Lane. You gotta Noel Brown. Who's gonna be in
the off season program? In the program Terran and Jayden
(33:39):
they developed more of a chemistry. So yeah, we will
be the most exciting offense. Watch absolutely.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I second that motion, follow that trump.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
All right, here's one. T O was a better receiver
than Randy Moss.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
All right, he go to delicacies of this. I'm gonna
be honest. I had to check both of these guys.
Randy with nightmares, all right, nightmares. See Randy, like, ah, safety,
I need you back there, just leave it back. I
could give you this for a big receiver to actually
ran routes, and his yank after the catch was very
much of a five to ten guy, like, he was
(34:16):
better than Randy after the catch. He was also a
nuanced route runner, so he could run everything in a
route tree, where Randy just really wanted to run the
go route.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
So I say Randy was the most leaked the weapon.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Teo had some things about him that made him great
both yellow Jackie guys. One is just a sports car
and the other one was kind of SUV's. That's a
political answer too, because I want to give to his props,
which I feel like most people.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
I mean, Tia was great. He I think that because
of his antics.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Sen Yes, if you look at the numbers, you're like
damn you forget because he was always in the media
for other reasons.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
But Randy was also a freaking nature too. I mean,
they were both incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
But I think if you as a quarterback, it's a
quarterback that won't every route raid.
Speaker 9 (35:02):
He might choose too, man, I say this, Randy Moss.
Speaker 10 (35:07):
They created defenses for him, and they still weren't able
to stop cover too deep, you know, deep coverage four,
double coverage and all that quarters and cover six and
all that, and he still found a way to make catches.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
They got a thing called the Moss.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (35:23):
Yeah, So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say I'm gonna
go with Randy only because of the fear fear fact
that he put into a defense.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
That's going into the game now.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
T was great. Yeah yeah, and smooth touched on it.
He was gonna do it.
Speaker 10 (35:38):
He was gonna come across the middle, gonna run drag ross,
He's gonna do come back, come back, all that.
Speaker 9 (35:43):
But when you had a weapon like Randy, it's like.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Hell this.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
So Randy is the most lethal, but too right there,
Randy was that dude where it's just the which is
you got Moss to throw it up you can have
perfect coverage, it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Sometimes it's different when you just got a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Sometime when I walk on the field, I used to
see Julius Pepper, I'm like, somebody, little unicorn lose'st gotta
lose out of somebody because sometimes you see that one
percent of the one percent.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Yes, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Finally, the NFC East will not be the most entertaining
division to watch the season.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
What's the what's it when when it's off? And I know,
so all the money and what's the other one?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Airball?
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Airball? Airball? Airball?
Speaker 10 (36:23):
You Philadelphia defendish Super Bowl champions Washington Commanders, we went
played them, America team played them in the NFC Championship.
Dallas gonna be good. They're gonna be a good football team.
The Giants, they're tough.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
They could have the best defending football.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
So I think when you look at divisions, the NFC East,
it will be the most entertained, most competitive, is the
best of best division to.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Watch, best cities, biggest cities, oldest history.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
The only division I think right now where it's two
divisions right now, West has I say the AFC wins
because the one thing I do love about this. Nobody
they ever talks about the back and forth between Pete
Carroll and Hobbah. If y'all noticed every time, howb I
do something great, Pete Carroll come hate on him? How
boy back at uh in La. Here comes Pete Carroll
(37:13):
right again. So I think that division, But I also
do not forget about the NFC North. You do not
forget about the North, the North, the North. I think
with Green Bay, Minnesota, Chicago back like that's Detroit. Yeah,
I just think that's gonna be an entertaining group. But
they lost a quarterback out of their division and Detroit.
I hate to say this, You don't get better when
(37:36):
you lose two coordinators, you like, you don't get better
by subtraction. So I think it's gonna take them a
little bit time.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
To get going on.
Speaker 9 (37:43):
And Ragnall retired the center retirement.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Yeah, that's a huge especially when you got a nun
mobile quarterback.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yes, that's a fair point, Big flesh Man's always a pleasure.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Anna, did you go to the post Malone concert that
was itting off wister.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
She had?
Speaker 11 (39:00):
I mean I heard amazing things like the fireworks and
the flashing lights light a production. Yeah, no, I heard
it was an incredible experience. I was bummed I couldn't go,
but I was working.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Always working, So yes, you go. I was just gonna say,
since you know it's loud in here, we can't have
you just play the phone. We gotta have you here
in person to read these voicemails. Yes, so this week,
all right.
Speaker 11 (39:26):
First thing we're going to start off with is an
email we got. If you were to pick an away
game that's not Madrid, which one would.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
You go to?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Away game? This is not do we play the Charges
home way?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
That's the questions away.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I would go to Sofi Stadium and watch the Ala
Charges versus the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 11 (39:48):
Well by coastal moment.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yes, I think I would too.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Although I was thinking when I heard this, I was
thinking like another foreign city. I wasn't thinking United States,
so I was in the wrong headspace. I was like,
what other European city are we going to?
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, Santorini.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I also get my old my other teams from love
God would go to the Minnesota game. If it's in Minnesota,
I would love it, all right.
Speaker 11 (40:15):
One of the first voicemails we got was top off
season acquisitions or draft picks.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I would go Larry Tunsel. Let it starts there first.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
We haven't had a guy like this since Trent Williams.
He's dominant, especially in past blocking. Don't forget the Giants
have one of the best defensive lines assembled the rush
that you gotta go against again Philadelphia. You know who
Michael Parsons is now he got as a rouquet. Uh
So it's one of those things where reinforcements. So I
would say best free agent, I would go Larry Tunsel.
(40:46):
Best draft pick. I'm gonna go Connolly. I'm about re
I'm about reinforcing that line and protecting your asset. Right now,
the asset is Jedi five. He must be protected, the
force Smoltiplier must be protected.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
I agree with you you about Lamy Tunsel, like I
think that's the key to everything, unlocking that offense.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
But I would go Amos. I think is my favorite.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Drap Oh. They just love his length and I love
the way that he played in the SEC coming from
such a top notch conference, and even AP admitted, man,
we had some offers, but when we saw this guy here,
we knew this was our dude.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
When win situation drinks when win situation, all right.
Speaker 11 (41:22):
This fan knows you're a big superhero fan. If you
like the superheroes, what commanders would be in your Fantastic
four lineup?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
All right, it's mister fantastic. We'll be Jaydon Deans, the brain.
It's just something about how he gets things done in
his own way.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Johnny would be who's the firecracker on this team? The
fire cracker?
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Who the fire cracker? Who's the guy that just gets
Steve popping? I think that'll be Debo, wouldn't he? I
mean probably so I can see Debo walking out to
the crowd in the game with the big command of
boom box. Oh yeah, I go Debo. Okay, it's Johnny.
Now it's Ben Grim. This means a big enforcer, right, Okay,
(42:15):
just a big enforcer Ken Law, Ken Law, like this
is being Griham. And then it's a visible woman like
who comes up missing on people?
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Probably Terry Sneaky sneaky comes.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Up missing on you. Plus he a protector and he
loved people. She is the heart of the Fantastic Four.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
See, I could give you my favorite four, but I
can't name every character like you pass again. I mean,
I know the Fantastic Four, but I don't know the
name of each. Can you we just doing rosmore?
Speaker 4 (42:49):
For me?
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Well, JD five, I'd go Scary Terry. I love Mikey Sanricht.
I loved his game in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
I think he's gonna take the next up this season,
and I gotta go off my dude to yeah, I
to me, I mean, I mean, I know Bobby Wagner's
right there, but when Louvu came.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
In, I think we all knew. Oh, it's just a
matter of time.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
This guy is a missile every time. I just sometimes
you just love watching someone play. I love watching Frankie Luke.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
I thought you have picked the rocky lane since he's
so fast for three speed as the human torch.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Oh, that's a good one. It could have happened.
Speaker 11 (43:20):
Okay, last one, and I feel like we've talked about
this a little bit, so feel free to keep it
brief if you think we've gone over this. Yeah, what
does it mean to be a commander? And who do
you think best fits the label? On offense and on defense?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
You want to take this first?
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Of you won't need to go so I'll say on defense.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Since we I just mentioned Bobby Wagner, I feel like
he embodies everything it means to be a commander because he.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Always does things the right way.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
He sets an example with how he plays every play,
and you know that no one can set the tone
culture wise and a guy like that, because all you
have to do is walk in and say, oh that's
Bobby Wagner.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
Yeah the end.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
Yeah, I got to say on the defensive side of
the ball, I would go Frankie Louvu my my my homeboy.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
I got my best friend from Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
He sent me this meme of Frankie Louvu jumping over
to the stadium because he was kept jumping over the
It's just something about his intensity, the way guys gather
around him before.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
The game, the dance, like every part of it. You
know he gonna leave it out on the field every
time he goes out there. So Frankie Louvu on defense
and Beyottish on like beyondish. To me, he.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Changed with the offensive line could be would be in
half being. So I'm going Tyler beyonddish because the offensive
line never gets any love.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
What do you think, Annam Oh, Terry? You think Terry obviously?
Speaker 11 (44:55):
All right, yes, yes, I think that's a fan favorite.
I think on the offense, I like the old line.
I think zach Ertz right, I'm seeing him as a
tight end. But I feel like I should have been
chiming in too much. Yeah, but I think yeah, I
think as a as a commander veteran, that presence on
the team, I think he's been a great commander. Okay,
(45:16):
this one's a fun one. Best all time athlete nickname?
That's what will end the show.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
On all time athlete nickname.
Speaker 4 (45:24):
Well, it's hard to go pass Iron, Mike Tyson.
Speaker 5 (45:28):
Iron is good.
Speaker 4 (45:29):
The logo, the logo, it's hard to beat the logo,
the fridge.
Speaker 1 (45:36):
You know.
Speaker 2 (45:37):
The question is our wrestlers consider the athletes? Oh yeah,
the Undertaker, Like, like, think about this. Who is the
only wrestler never to say one word?
Speaker 4 (45:49):
The undertake?
Speaker 5 (45:50):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (45:50):
He has never spoke.
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Every time we think he gets beat up, he just
slowly rises back up.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Here's a Texas fan, right, he lives in a He's
a Texas fan. He's all the I'm out there.
Speaker 4 (46:03):
I know, I'm just I understand, but you gotta go.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
Michael ERL Jordan's air is yeah, I'm sorry, Michael er
Jordan's that's that's just I'm sorry, man. Like if you
name Air, I'm sorry to this day, to this day,
he got the most popular shooting war Michael Air Jordan.
Speaker 4 (46:21):
I wish I could give a football player this. I
can't give it to him. It's Michael.
Speaker 1 (46:25):
Also, you know what a sneaky good one is is
easy money sniper like Kd's.
Speaker 3 (46:30):
I know that's the longer, but I love just all that.
Speaker 4 (46:34):
Like thought. I thought he was mostly known as the
Slim Reaper.
Speaker 3 (46:37):
Slim Reaper too, That's that's even better.
Speaker 4 (46:39):
Yeah, say like so it's names and it's whole.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
It's one of them things where you can know such
thing as the best name, because sometime the worst after
he could have the best football name.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
I'm gonna throw it back for one nickname. You remember
Christiana Koye Yes, the night Nigerian Nightmare. That's an all
time Jerome.
Speaker 3 (46:57):
The Bus bed Bus is good, really good one.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
No, No, I'm just saying so. It's has so many names.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Magic Johnson, think about it. He's known as Magic much
his first name, even know.
Speaker 2 (47:11):
His first name, just like you know, you have made
it in the world when people notice you by one name,
share you have made it all right, Magic Prince Tiger Lebron, Like,
when you make it to that status one name status.
Speaker 4 (47:26):
So y'all can just call me Fred.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
Well, I think we gotta wrap up on that.
Speaker 4 (47:34):

When I say cut no expense, they are really put
it out. Here's one of the bigger Many media days
that I've been in quarter.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
It's a iny, beautiful thing. All the changes they've made
out here. I mean, you know, I know we've been
out here for a while and they've been working on
changes to this whole facility for months for nunstop.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yeah, for nunstop.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Like you gotta realize how chaotic it is in this building.
We got more than ninety football players in this building.
We got everybody at every part of the media in
this building. We got construction companies walking pall we just
walking past each other, working on every part of this campus.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
It's unbelievable. I can't say enough about the new ownership.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
They are, like I said, they are cutting no expense
when it comes upgrading everything about the Washington experience.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
It's awesome. We're gonna talk to Will Harris coming up theater.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
In the show. You know, fellow Mississippian. You know what
I'm saying. I hate the brag he didn't go to Texas,
but I hate the brag.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You mean the Women's College World Series champion, Texas long Ones,
you know what that.
Speaker 3 (01:17):

Speaker 4 (01:20):

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Congratulations, Congratulations Texas. You know what, Nil, y'all was built
for the Nil generation.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
You know, it just makes the rich richer, and not
just Chextes all the big name of schools.
Speaker 5 (01:32):
It makes the rich rich.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
It's just one of them things where now you get
to kind of put your muss out there in construt
I understand.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Let me ask you this, what was media day like
for you?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I feel like you someone who thrives in the spot
because I walked in, I'm like, oh, there's that Kertz
walking around in full pads, and now I hit me, oh yeah, yeah,
everybody's getting their pictures taken to day and everything.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Did you enjoy this or was it kind of a grind?
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Most of the guys did in Santana hated media day.
He ready to get in and get out, London ready
to get in.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Get me. I'm just as giggly, like it's like opening.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Day to me because it's a surreal feeling because I
remember my rookie year jinks and we had to do
media to day.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Of course I know nothing about.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It, right, and to me, especially for these young rookies,
this is the first day it really really hits you.
Besides seeing your locker the first time. This is when
it hits you that our man, I'm a part of
something great. Yeah, because now I have to do the
deposes and I have to do this and I have
to do that. It feels different. It feels like, hey,
(02:32):
I'm a part of this team. I'm part of this organization.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Man. So I enjoyed it all. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We were getting passports made ready to go to Madrid.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Listen, it's not an inch of this campus not being
used right crazy, Like that's what I'm saying, Jenks, It's
not an inch of this yard not being used right now.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
And you were saying earlier. I think Logan does not
like getting his picture taken.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Logan hates getting his picture taken.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
London should hate getting his taken in Santana, Santanna runs
away from a camp.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Yeah that that doesn't spius at all, Like Tenna doesn't
want to hear that now, you know. But it's really
exciting because i mean seeing a guy in a uniform,
I'm like, oh yeah, like we're here.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
I mean, football season is Football season is here.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Like it also is a signal to us training camp
is on the way. Like it lets you know that
time is ticking down right now, We're getting closer to
real football. And if you're a Washington fan, you gotta
be excited because we just was.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
On this adrenaline rush.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
We just was on this this long ride that ending
in the NFC Championship game. I'm sure, like me, the
fans cannot wait to get back in Northwest Stadium.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh man.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
And for the first time. Isn't it nice? You know
how it was a few years ago it.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Was if everything goes right, yeah we might, we might.
And here it's all right, we know how good this
team could be. Now we continue to build upon that.
That's just a different vibe.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
In the offseason.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
No, it's a vibe now, like can we get back
to four quarters away from the super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Like I have played for this team since O one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
This is truly the first time when we say super Bowl,
nobody's looking at us crazy.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Abe.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
When we say super Bowl, they say it's warranted.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
When we say, hey, we try to get to the
super Bowl, they say it's possible. When we say we
try to get to the super Bowl, people from other
fan base say, y'all have a real legit chance. And
I think this this una believing in itself, that shows
you that once you get the quarterback, right Jinks, everything
else followed out.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
So we're gonna play a little game here on wild Cards.
By the way, Anna is working three cameras right now
hard and show being rushing in.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
So we're gonna hear from Anna later on.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
She's gonna read us the voicemails that we normally get
because it's hard to hear them with all the sound
back work being done. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So we're gonna
play wild Cards, which is NFC East players. Yeah, who
could change the entire season for their respective teams offense, defense,
One on each side.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Your call start with Let's start the Cowboys.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Let's start with the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Everything started with Dak Prescott, my bulldog brotherren all Right.
Quarterbacks change games, quarterback change franchises, quarterback change team's destiny.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I think the pressure is on Dak right now.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I think the fan base is growing a little, you know, weary,
the restless. They want, they want to succeed, they want
to get there. Everything starts with Dak Prescott. So on
the offensive side, I'm putting the pressure on Dak. On
the defensive side, I'm gonna go tray vun dig.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I was gonna say DIXX to it. Michael Parsons is easy.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
But they need Dick. They need they need Digs. They
did get reveled in the draft. It's not gonna be
ready for the opening of the season, we don't know.
But they need Digs to get back to how he
was playing two years ago. Like they need him to
be their turnover machine, not the guy that gives up
a lot of yours. I think if they get good
coverage from him, good great quarterback, not good quarterback play,
(05:59):
great quarterback play from Da Prescott, they got a chance
to be a good team and they got to be
a chance to be a hard team to beat.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Period.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I will say, Kit, I'm interested in watching and his
name is case Me.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's that defensive end from Boston College that I know
you're as a.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
As a root ca A. Yeah, I mean that kicking.
All he does is make play to watch.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
He can go get it. That's why we reinforced. They
went there as a rookue.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We went cunningly like so you're seeing that the better
of the brains right there.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I also sit to not a player. But how is
Brian Schottenheimer gounna fare? I mean, we don't know, and
certainly this is a high profile position.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
His father was a legend.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
No, his father drafted me. Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
This so Brian was here with his father when I
was drafted. So I got a lot of respect for
his father. I love his father rist in peace. But
it's a lot of noise over there at the captain.
Can't he blocked it out? And just coach, do you
think that's possible?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Jeans?
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yeah, that's that's a hell of a job to have
as your first head coach.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
That's the job I would rather have another start of
job with you before I go there. But I think
he's ready for it. He was born in coaching and
I think he will be a good coach. The question
is can he take Dak Prescott to another level?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
That's the big question.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
What about the Eagles?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
I would say when it comes to the Eagles, Ken
Jalen Hurts as good as he plays in the super Bowls,
he doesn't play that where all the time in the
regular season, Right, Can Jalen Hurts take it to another level?
Can Jalen Hurts be efishing throwing the football?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
Like?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Can he do that?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Because it was some times last year will Aj Brown
was reading magazines on the bench. You know he was
getting mad because because he was missing throws. So I
think it's a lot of pressure there. And also.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Can they replace the people they lost in their secondary?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
You know it be easy to pick one guy. But
that's the one thing about winning Super Bowl. Happened a
couple of years ago when they made the Super Bowl
and didn't win it, where you lost a lot of
important pieces.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
How Like, you gotta realize this guy brings playmaking to them,
and you lost that guy, then you lost Sweat, then
you lost Milton, Then you like guy at the guy.
The guy, so they got to replace like seven starters.
I want to say, yeah, so that's gonna be the
big thing. How fast can that young talent mature? But
I think I go Jalen Hurts on this side, and
(08:21):
I go to maturity of the guys that're finna take
that next step, and.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
It's good as sacond one is.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Like defensively, if you're an opposing defense, I want Jalen
Hurts to try and beat me with his arm and
that tells you everything.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Yeah, like they just tell you.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
He has to take the passes to the next level
for them to really be what they call back to
back Super Bowl contenders, which is hard.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
It is.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
It's never it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Look at the Chiefs, you know, even when they get back,
like it's just it's just hard.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's just hard.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
It's a hard thing to do because you gotta realize
your season is elongated. You don't get the rest everybody
to get. That's why everybody's always talking about the Super
Bowl hangover. It's not because they parted the whole time.
It's because you played a not that month and a
half of football when other guys did.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
How about the new York Football Giants, New York Football Giants.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
All right, low hanging fruit is for me to just
go up there and say, you know what, Russell Wills right.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
If he's even the guy this yere, I think they
want Jackson Dart to be that guy.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
You drafted Jackson Dart to be that guy. Like the
question is how fast?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
So are you winning to put Jackson Dart out there?
That's gonna be the question. You're gonna have to wait
till he can protect himself from himself and that make
takemic season. They might, but if they start off slow,
I think then he get put in the fire regardless
of what, because they want to see what they have
in him. I would go, I ain't gonna put the
pressure on Russ Rusbin there did that?
Speaker 4 (09:43):
What do you have in Jackson dark you? Is he?
What do you have? Is he your future? On defense?
I hate to say this, Triple Dough, Sexy Dixon.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Resky jax Man, that guy is a football player.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Brian Burns.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
That defensive front of the Giants. I don't know which
guy is the most it's probably probably Sexy DAXI. But
across the board in the front there is as good
there's good against.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
This a game where your offensive line have to earn
their money. Jinks, they got to earn their money. So
as good as that front is, can the back in
cover long enough for them to get to the quarterback.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
That's who I'm putting the.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Pressure, and finally your Washington commanders to take it to
the next level.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
We still need growth, believe it or not from Jaden.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
I hate to tell y'all this and report the news.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
That was the ground floor we saw him last year.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, like, to me, that's the worst he'll ever be,
and he was damn good. So I just think it's
one of them things like we're gonna see his game
be refined. We're gonna see him now take their third
step as a quarterback.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
I am an elite thrower.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I am an elite runner now, I know how to
escape the pocket and I'm.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
Still looking down the field to throw.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now become a three way threat to a team. So
I would say Jaden, I wouldn't. I ain't got him
as the guy that needs to step up. I would
say the guy that will probably need to really take
the next level.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Laramie Tunzel, I just.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Think Larimer, I think he's just certified.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
He's certified, but they haven't had a dude like that
where since it's like we don't have to chip anyone,
just put Laromie on someone and let him work.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
So Larim is your pick. Yeah, I go Deebo Samuels.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Can Deebo Samuels get back to the Deebo Samuels up
two years ago?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
I want to see him touch the ball.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Jet sweeps, screams, punt return, kickof return, like, I just
want him to touch the ball.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
He did great equalize it. If you ask me what
he does.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Last year, a lot of people said, why Terror ain't
getting the ball? They was double team and tyr Yea
and Jayde is so good that he's just not gonna
force it just to force it to tarry. Well, Debo
is the great equalizer. He's gonna make sure everything equals out.
And now everybody has to play this team on its
so on offense, I'm going Deebo Samuels on defense. I
(12:02):
hate to do it to the rookie, but rookie Mike
Sarah Steele showed out last year as.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
A rookie gonna so my dude, I love it.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I love Sarah Steel. So now I'm gonna put the
pressure on the new rookie, Amoless. Can you can you
step in and do similar to what Mikey did, get
better every week and down the stretch.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Can we lean on you when in coverage?
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And I love their two different body types, two different styles,
two different styles, but can both be effective obviously, And
Mikey did a great job last year, like getting out
of the slot when he had to, just doing what
he had to do.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
But he go your strengts.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Now you get to move him back in the slot
when it's three wide receivers on the field, strengthening in
your team even more.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
So.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
That's the thing about it, man, Like, now people get
to play some of the real positions that they really
feel comfortable.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
One guy we're excited about too, Johnny Newton.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
I've just been told he's going to join the shows
out right and now, oh yeah, so he's coming soon.
We're gonna talk with him, Gonna talk with Will Harris
as well. But first let's talk. In fact, let's go
to Will Harris ringa Will Harris out with him.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Let's do that.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Here we are Media day, bumping de Will Harris. I
just found out his daddy is my dog brother. His
dadd is a Mississippi State bulldog. So now I know
Wheel was.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Raised right right, so now we can talk to him.
Yeah right, all right, It's good to.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Have you here.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Man.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
How's the transitioning thus far, you know, becoming a commander
and coming here and getting acclimated to everything.
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Yeah, man, it's been great. It's been great.
Speaker 7 (13:25):
It's always uh, it's always great to get back around football,
get back on the grass.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Man. It's just do what we love every day.
Speaker 7 (13:31):
Just coming in the building every day and working with
the guys and building that chemistry and you know, so
they could you know, we can get out there on
the grass and communicate together, build that chemistry out there.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Has been amazing.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
You know what, you have a unique perspective because you
didn't play for the team last year and now that
you're here. Take me to last year when you like,
you're playing for the Saints, but you're watching the team
from afar. Tell us how to outside world was viewing
the Washington football team.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
That made you want to be a part.
Speaker 5 (14:00):
Of it, no doubt.
Speaker 7 (14:01):
I mean I would say, you know everything that you see,
everything that the world can see on TV, everything how
you know, how the team carries themselves like everything, you know,
all of.
Speaker 5 (14:12):
That was, you know, was tangibly visible.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
You know when you're playing them, it's like momentum is
a real thing, and that is you know what I'm saying,
and so h you know, it's more than just you know,
to just raw raw like you know that's anybody could
you know, yeah, exactly, but here is real.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
It's real and you could sense it.
Speaker 7 (14:32):
It's not something that necessarily someone has to say, but
you could sense it.
Speaker 5 (14:36):
And the way that they rally around.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
You know, when I was you know, at my previous
team last year playing you know, uh, when we had
that game, were playing, you know, you could sense it
rally behind each other. You know what I'm saying, good
and bad play, you know, it's like whatever, like not
falling into the ebbs and flows at the game, but
you know, just staying level, you know what I'm saying,
Playing with great communication, Guys trusting each other, guys flying around,
(15:00):
playing for their brothers.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
So all of that.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
Man, you can feel that, especially being on the field,
you can feel the team that's that's you know, that's
buttoned up like that.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
So most of them I do know I was impressive
for sure.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
This organization definitely does not go after players unless they
feel like, hey, they could play and the fit.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Yeah, they have a type of guy.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
So what does it feel like to be a part
of this organization Because they've proven the jettison guys that
aren't part of it, and they'll bringing guys they feel
like this guy.
Speaker 7 (15:25):
Could be a commander, no doubt. Well, I'm you know,
first things first, man, I'm honored. I'm honored and highly blessed.
And you know I don't take that lightly at all.
You know, obviously I have a great, great relationship with
everybody here, everybody in the building. You know, this OTAs
and springball has been huge for me just to be
able to be around everybody and get to know everybody
on the more personal level. But what I can say is, man,
(15:48):
I'm I'm super honored that honored and humbled that you
know that was able to work out.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
You know it was able to work out.
Speaker 7 (15:54):
I was able to get the Washington man, and I
you know, whatever I can do and everyone I tell
everyone here, you know, I tell everyone here that the
same thing, you know what I mean, whatever I can
do on off the field, whatever I can do to
help to help this.
Speaker 5 (16:08):
Team, and you know, to keep that train rolling.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
You know, that's what I'm here for, so this organization
can expect every single thing out of me.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I know it was easier transition for you when you
had a guy that used to be in your old
locker room in Monshal and lat them more when you
get here. But how's it been connected with the other
guys to Mikey Simrastills in the rest of the guys,
the qun Martin's how's that transition being? And I know
it's still an ongoing process. I've been in the off season.
The closer we get to you know, training camp, the
closer we started to get as a team.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
But how's it being with the rest of those DB's
in the locker room?
Speaker 5 (16:38):
So no doubt, man, it's been amazing.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
This is what this time is for, you know, not
only getting out on the field together and learning how
learning how each and every one of the guys communicating
their own way, learning how to all speak that same
language out there. It's you know, this is a great
you know, time of year to do it. This is
what OTAs is for. But also I mean just being
like getting together off the field, you know, hanging out,
(17:01):
you know, you know, catching up, sharing you know, life stories,
learning about each other's families. All of that stuff matters,
and it matters and it matters here, and it's a
priority here. Getting to know your brother, getting to know
the guy who's lined up with, all those things are
super important. So this time of year has been has
been pivotal for you know, for that, you know, learning
how to d be.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
It's like like you were saying, like on some grass,
I'm ready to go.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
One hundred per one hundred percent.
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I mean, this is what we I mean, Obviously there's
a you know, there's a time into this thing, me
being year seven, and then I understand that there's uh,
you know, there's phases in the off season. There's phases
until you you know, until you line up you know,
in September, you know, for that first game. So but
you know that that's the part of being a pro,
and that's part of being a professional is embracing each
(17:51):
phase along the line. And obviously we still you know,
we still got to close out and finish up strong, uh,
you know, with ots in the off season, and you
know we'll get rid of that. You know, we'll get
through with that phase and then at some point we'll
you know, we'll all go home and and indo our
thing and train and get ready for camp. Then we
gotta put it in for camp, and then all throughout
the season there's gonna be phases that you know you're
(18:13):
gonna have to you know, strap in and you know
and be a probout. I mean, I'm ready for it
as it comes, so.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I can feinish steaming off you man.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Thank you for sitting down with his wheel and you
tell mister Harris I need to meet him in start
Bill for a Missippi State ball probably old Mississippi State.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
We can meet for that game.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Yeah, say, let's well, he'll be out every game, so
we're gonna get a popping for such.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
All right, I got you, man, thanks for stopping by that.
I appreciate it, my man.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Appreciate you. Man.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
We're going defense today because.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Defense winning championship. Offense sale tickets, jacous. You know that's
how I feel.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Man, We don't get the love.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
You know, you go to a game, you see fifty
million teary jerseys, you see j D five out there,
and then you just see a couple of defensive jerseys
sprinkling all over the place.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
Were gonna get out of this.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
It's like being in church and here, Johnny gun it
is right now eat.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I mean, how are you feeling? I mean healthwise?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Number one and number two that now you've gotten that
rookie season over with, which we'll talk about.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
But it feels like now you relaxed, You're just ready
to go.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
I feel like I'm just one of the guys. Now, yeah,
I was a rookie. You're nervous about everything, trying to
make everything perfect. But I feel great. Man, This off
season doesn't on mean anything. I'm perfectly healthy. I feel
great best I felt them a long time, So awesome.
I'm ready for it all.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Well, that's good because you know, coming from college, I
tell people all the time, your senior year or whatever
year you come out of college to the pros is
the longest year of football you ever behaved like, because
not only do you finish your college season, you go strape,
work for the combine from the combined interviews, get draft
to get on your team, continue playing football. How did
it feel they had it first off season to just
(19:50):
take a deep breath and say.
Speaker 4 (19:52):
All right, all right, I'm in the house.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
It might've been too good.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Tell what I'm saying, though, because you had to deal
with injuries like you aren't like you just I'm just
gonna be hurt you like I'm gonna keep on playing
through these injuries. So I know this had to just
be a big sign of relief for you to relax
and say, you know what, let me take a couple
of weeks to myself.
Speaker 8 (20:11):
Yeah, for sure, man, the July break that we had,
I was here the whole break. So this year, man,
it felt great. Got time to spend my family. Yeah yeah,
my daughter and my friends back home. It was a
great feeling, man. And I can't wait for another break.
I'm ready for it all. I'm ready for it all.
This season, Like I said, man, I got the rookie
(20:32):
Jetters out of me, so.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You know what, the departure John Allen and stuff like that,
the team gonna ask more from you. But what I
feel from you, you want more, right, you want more,
So you're ready for a bigger role for the team.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Runner.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
That's the fact.
Speaker 8 (20:46):
Man, I can't complain about having a lot of food
on my table when I wanted to eat.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
Yeah, yeah, you actually I serve you.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
What did you learn like or what surprised you?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
You know, going from college to the pros last year,
we thought, oh I didn't expect this, or oh I
gotta take this more seriously.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Speed size was it?
Speaker 5 (21:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:04):
Yeah, the speed everybody always talked about. You know, once
you get to the NFL, to speed gonna be different. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Uh, I played in a big.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Ten, so all them old line was big yeah, big ten.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
But you're right.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Just the the intensity, the speed of the office alignment here,
and just the professionalism college, you know, running around, playing around.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
With your friends. And if you dumbin it, you just bet.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:26):
Yeah, if you dominate, you better than everybody here. Yeah,
you better get in where you fitish.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, because it's just everybody parted at one percent, you
know what I'm saying. And then it would make it
good in the locker room. I always tell people were
all good in different ways. We might play the same position,
but I might be better than him at this, but
he better than me at that.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
And I used to learn from my guys, like the.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
One thing I did a good job, but I used
to take a piece of every one of my team
makes it incorporated. I don't care if it's the mental port.
I don't care if it's studying what it was. I
used to just kind of cheery pick off them guys.
Have you kind of start to do that.
Speaker 8 (21:58):
Yeah, I was doing that last year, man, and uh
we had a lot of vests. We still got a
lot of best And I'm still doing it, you know,
this year two for me. But I'm still a rookie
in the locker room, so I'm still cherry picking. You know, Pain,
Ken Law, Sheldon day Man, those guys great.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
But you gotta learn from Pain through watching him because
he don't talk much.
Speaker 8 (22:18):
Oh yeah, once you get to know Pain here, talk
he me and paining me and Pain we called that's
my dog. So he'll talk to me. Helped me out
through my mistakes, and uh, that's like my big brother now. Honestly,
I used to say John, my big brother. Paying my
big brother too, and uh the saying the greatness that
he had. I want to follow in those first steps
and do better.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
When you talk about those guys, it's interesting because everybody
throws around the word culture and being closed. But everyone
we talked to here and just listen to you now,
like it's a real thing in this locker room.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Yeah for sure.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
I know I can't speak for every other locker room,
but in this locker room, were happy for each other's success,
like we want each other to do better.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
That's no.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
Man, he planning ahead of me, like I got beef him.
Man Like, Man, go do your thing. Yeah, because we
all doing our thing and we make it to that
next level.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
And that's what we won't Man, that's a championship mindset. Now,
that's that's totally different because I have been in locker
rooms bickering and you know this guy WON'TSTA. That's all
from coach Queenn. That's all that leadership story from the top.
Talk about how he's affected the way you view football.
Speaker 8 (23:18):
DQ is the standard. Like for everything we run through DQ.
The energy that DQ bring every day, you see it
through us. Like everything that y'all see on the field
off the field, our energy right now, I feel like
that's from DQ. And uh, he made us comfortable enough
to do that, and he trusts and believe in us.
So man, all praise to get DQ.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
I'm motivated to you guys now after being so close
last year, all that you accomplished.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Four quarters away from greatness, it got to sting a
little bit, but it also got to be promising.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Cut you right, Yeah, man, A lot of those guys,
even the first of black game, like, man, we've been
in the Laite for a long time and young don't
know how hard it is to be here. But it
was my first year, so I'm just I'm still soaking
it all in, you know, taking the week by week.
But now I look back at it, I'm like, man,
that was great, but it wasn't great enough until we
get that. So yeah, it was a bettersweet moment. Like
(24:14):
I said, we we was happy we got there, but
wasn't satisfied with the results. So about to work.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Listen, this is where y'all here set the bar. The
bar is said, and y'all sit the bar through y'all plate.
And I know how we always talking in the locker
room for the guys that still here that they took
their ride, And first of all, I want to thank
y'all for taking us on that last year. Listen, the
fan base is still on fire about it. Do you
(24:40):
feel a little pressure now that you got one game
from the Super Bowl? Do you feel like, hey, you
know what, maybe I need to take my game to
a next label to get us over their little hunk.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Yeah, all the pressure on the road, but God give
us suff as battles to the toughest soldiers and uh
we the hunters know we're not yea.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Nobody.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Yeah that's not like all we got the commanders were
We gotta play the commanders this week.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Buckle up.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
So that's that's that's a blessing though, to be in
that position, and we don't take any moment for granted.
We're still working like we're the underdogs every weekend.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
That's the mindset.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
They gotta be the it's twenty two. We always talk
about on this show, how you know the.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Latest rookie class is always the one people focus on,
But we're like we forgot about years ago. So like
I would imagine you guys are really looking forward to
taking that next step because you've gotten that rookie season
out of the way.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
The focuses elsewhere. Now you can just develop and become
the player you want to beat.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
That's a fact.
Speaker 8 (25:33):
Our rookie class really gonna be the standard for the
next generation of this team. Uh where's d q A
P first draft class? So like the standard gotta be
set through us for this rookie class and the next
rookie class, and.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Uh for those guys.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
We got to be those those ogs who go hold
them accountable of everything and show them the way.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
So it's a it's a great.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
It's a crazy situation. It's like it's like the big
brother the moment.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
Dad.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
Know, if I raised big brother right, I don't have
to worry about the other kids because here. So it works.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Man, Jay, thank you for stopping by getting out man,
thank you for being here. And I can't wait to
see you play this year.
Speaker 8 (26:10):

big name for us, but did you even have any
feelings on media day? You would just tell like saying, town, let's.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Just get it over and keep on.
Speaker 10 (27:09):
I was like tying to just get it over. It's
one of the things you have to do. I'll say
one thing. I see all a bunch of items that
the players have to sign. Something some of the key
players had to sign. Now, that was my least favorite thing.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (27:23):
Man, it might be several hundred items that you have
to sign for different you know, people, groups, whatever the
case may be.
Speaker 9 (27:34):
So that was my least favorite of it. But it
was something that you had to do.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
I thought it.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
I always thought it was an honor to do it
because okay, Idnet made it another year. It was like
the thing to see, it's another year for you keep going,
and it was kind of give it signaling to me
training camp coming.

an itch this time of year, being around us where you're.

say this and smooth nah and tinning all us and logan,
we've all talked about this. The grass smells different this
time of year. It smells like football.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
It's weird.
Speaker 10 (28:10):
But unless you're in it, like you know, like man,
it's getting close to that time of the season, like
it's a switch that goes off, especially as a player,
like I need to really ramp up my training getting
ready for training count and then.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
What I tell people, it's a couple of jobs football
players could do at the football one we can do
love making it we know what grasts men. We could
be a weather man because we can sense, smell, rain, storm,
all of this. And we can also be a doctor
because we know every bone in the body, every month
in the body, and we know how long the rehab is.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
We know how long it don't take to do it.
So it's a couple of job that sports hand.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
You can ask your question and you can answer this
too when you talk about that switch and London, you particular,
is interesting because you know, throughout your career you were
known for being out of community doing a lot of work.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I know you both did.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
So how do you go from being this person who
is is always trying to help people out, a very
good person, but then once the lights come on, people
tell you this guy is a football player, Like that's
a switch just like you were talking about that goes off.
Speaker 10 (29:11):
You know, it's it's just once you step between those
white lines. Man, I talked to this, talk about this
all the time. I don't believe in peace treaties. So
when when when I'm in training camp many camps, O tas,
whatever the case may be, especially training camp, and you're
going to gainst your your teammates, but it's an opponent
during that that competition phase and you know, hey, let's
(29:34):
take it easy today. No, I'm not getting better by that.
You're not gonna get better. So I don't believe in
peace treaties. Now, once we're outside those white lines, I
know how to dollar back. I can't be at home,
you know, my kids, stores and all that type of stuff.
Speaker 9 (29:50):
You gotta know, you gotta know when when the kind
of act like it's a billion All right, we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Play a game with you, le own the money, ara ball.
We're gonna say some phrases me and you have some
intimate knowledge of these phrases. You're gonna tell me, do
you think it are? You can tell me what was
different about these guys? Do you believe this this statement
is true?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
True?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Or what?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
All?
Speaker 4 (30:15):
Right?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
First statement is this, Peyton Manning was better than Tom
Brady for most of their career.
Speaker 9 (30:22):
Whoo man, you come out the game. Here's what I say.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
And I get asked this question a lot, like who's
the better quarterback between those two? I tell people Peyton
was the most difficult quarterback to prepare against, prepare.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
For, because even checking everything at the.
Speaker 10 (30:40):
Last, so that week of practice, preparation leading up, everybody
had to be on the same page, especially the back end,
making sure our disguises look the same. We're not giving
him the answers to the test before beforehand.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
But Tom.
Speaker 9 (30:57):
Greater competitor. Yeah, he's a buddy.
Speaker 4 (31:00):
Keller rose to the moment.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
The moment I say this early in Peyton's career, obviously
he was, I thought, yeah he was, he was. He
was actually do more than Tom. Yes he was for
the majority of it.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
I also think he had better players players.
Speaker 10 (31:16):
But there was that point where they were here and
then Tom knows last I would say the last four
or five years of Tom's career, he cemented his legacy
as in my opinion, greatest, the greatest to ever do it.
And that's hard because I mean, I love him both.
But you know, so is that on the money or
you still politicians? Based on the question, you said, Peyton
(31:42):
for majority most of his career was better.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
Was kind of actually do.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
More then, And I would say having Marvin Harrison, Reggie,
Wayne Dallas, Clark Edrin James, because Peyton had the better
group around him, I have to say he was better
for most of only because of.
Speaker 10 (31:59):
That group and also New England and Belichick in particular.
They were gonna do whatever they need to do to
win that game. So they going to Kansas City, you know,
several years ago, and they run the ball seven time time,
whatever the case may be, Like, yeah, Tom, you can,
you can throw it around the yard, but we need
to keep Kansas City offense and the Mahomes on the
(32:20):
side of Mahomes, Mahomes on the sideline, so we're gonna
run the ball. So they understood whatever it took to
win the ball game.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
YEP.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
I agree with him, and I just say only because
of the weapons but both players was there.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
You can't lose with either one. All right, here's the
next question.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
If Jayden Daniels develops this offseason, Washington will be the
most exciting team in the NFC East this season.
Speaker 4 (32:46):
Yes, And I'm gonna say this because I know what's
gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Then Bleacher creatures from Philip I'm going to jump all
in the DMS and tell me what it ain't.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
We know this for the last what twenty five years,
we haven't had a back to back win.
Speaker 9 (33:01):
At least twenty years, least twenty years.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Are you add that with a slight little Super Bowl hangover?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
You add that with losing six to seven veterans on
your defense, maybe, especially if Jayden takes it to the
next level because he wasn't a problem in the NFC Championship.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
Is and I say on the money and you talk
about it's not even just about Jane developing. You look
at the pieces they've added around offensive line, be much improved.
The weapons you trade for Deebo Savage, you drafted a
Jayleen Lane. You gotta Noel Brown. Who's gonna be in
the off season program? In the program Terran and Jayden
(33:39):
they developed more of a chemistry. So yeah, we will
be the most exciting offense. Watch absolutely.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
I second that motion, follow that trump.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
All right, here's one. T O was a better receiver
than Randy Moss.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
All right, he go to delicacies of this. I'm gonna
be honest. I had to check both of these guys.
Randy with nightmares, all right, nightmares. See Randy, like, ah, safety,
I need you back there, just leave it back. I
could give you this for a big receiver to actually
ran routes, and his yank after the catch was very
much of a five to ten guy, like, he was
(34:16):
better than Randy after the catch. He was also a
nuanced route runner, so he could run everything in a
route tree, where Randy just really wanted to run the
go route.
Speaker 4 (34:26):
So I say Randy was the most leaked the weapon.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Teo had some things about him that made him great
both yellow Jackie guys. One is just a sports car
and the other one was kind of SUV's. That's a
political answer too, because I want to give to his props,
which I feel like most people.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
I mean, Tia was great. He I think that because
of his antics.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Sen Yes, if you look at the numbers, you're like
damn you forget because he was always in the media
for other reasons.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
But Randy was also a freaking nature too. I mean,
they were both incredible.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
But I think if you as a quarterback, it's a
quarterback that won't every route raid.
Speaker 9 (35:02):
He might choose too, man, I say this, Randy Moss.
Speaker 10 (35:07):
They created defenses for him, and they still weren't able
to stop cover too deep, you know, deep coverage four,
double coverage and all that quarters and cover six and
all that, and he still found a way to make catches.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
They got a thing called the Moss.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (35:23):
Yeah, So I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say I'm gonna
go with Randy only because of the fear fear fact
that he put into a defense.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
That's going into the game now.
Speaker 9 (35:33):
T was great. Yeah yeah, and smooth touched on it.
He was gonna do it.
Speaker 10 (35:38):
He was gonna come across the middle, gonna run drag ross,
He's gonna do come back, come back, all that.
Speaker 9 (35:43):
But when you had a weapon like Randy, it's like.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Hell this.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
So Randy is the most lethal, but too right there,
Randy was that dude where it's just the which is
you got Moss to throw it up you can have
perfect coverage, it just doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Sometimes it's different when you just got a unicorn.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Sometime when I walk on the field, I used to
see Julius Pepper, I'm like, somebody, little unicorn lose'st gotta
lose out of somebody because sometimes you see that one
percent of the one percent.
Speaker 5 (36:08):
Yes, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Finally, the NFC East will not be the most entertaining
division to watch the season.
Speaker 9 (36:16):
What's the what's it when when it's off? And I know,
so all the money and what's the other one?
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Airball?
Speaker 9 (36:21):
Airball? Airball? Airball?
Speaker 10 (36:23):
You Philadelphia defendish Super Bowl champions Washington Commanders, we went
played them, America team played them in the NFC Championship.
Dallas gonna be good. They're gonna be a good football team.
The Giants, they're tough.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
They could have the best defending football.
Speaker 10 (36:40):
So I think when you look at divisions, the NFC East,
it will be the most entertained, most competitive, is the
best of best division to.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Watch, best cities, biggest cities, oldest history.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
The only division I think right now where it's two
divisions right now, West has I say the AFC wins
because the one thing I do love about this. Nobody
they ever talks about the back and forth between Pete
Carroll and Hobbah. If y'all noticed every time, howb I
do something great, Pete Carroll come hate on him? How
boy back at uh in La. Here comes Pete Carroll
(37:13):
right again. So I think that division, But I also
do not forget about the NFC North. You do not
forget about the North, the North, the North. I think
with Green Bay, Minnesota, Chicago back like that's Detroit. Yeah,
I just think that's gonna be an entertaining group. But
they lost a quarterback out of their division and Detroit.
I hate to say this, You don't get better when
(37:36):
you lose two coordinators, you like, you don't get better
by subtraction. So I think it's gonna take them a
little bit time.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
To get going on.
Speaker 9 (37:43):
And Ragnall retired the center retirement.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Yeah, that's a huge especially when you got a nun
mobile quarterback.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yes, that's a fair point, Big flesh Man's always a pleasure.
Thanks for stopping bout it.
Speaker 9 (37:54):
Always great to come down this shot, big bag. See
today Smooth.
Speaker 10 (38:01):
As we were walking over to the sets, Smooth almost
called the fire with them legs rubbing together.
Speaker 9 (38:08):
We got the fire marsh own deck.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
Hey, this is this is what we do. People don't
take no office to it. We rag on each other.

special introduction. You're not gonna believe who's here. Yeah, you
will believe it. Actually, we're right there.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
Anna, did you go to the post Malone concert that
was itting off wister.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
She had?
Speaker 11 (39:00):
I mean I heard amazing things like the fireworks and
the flashing lights light a production. Yeah, no, I heard
it was an incredible experience. I was bummed I couldn't go,
but I was working.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Always working, So yes, you go. I was just gonna say,
since you know it's loud in here, we can't have
you just play the phone. We gotta have you here
in person to read these voicemails. Yes, so this week,
all right.
Speaker 11 (39:26):
First thing we're going to start off with is an
email we got. If you were to pick an away
game that's not Madrid, which one would.
Speaker 5 (39:32):
You go to?
Speaker 4 (39:34):
Away game? This is not do we play the Charges
home way?
Speaker 3 (39:39):
That's the questions away.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
I would go to Sofi Stadium and watch the Ala
Charges versus the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 11 (39:48):
Well by coastal moment.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yes, I think I would too.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Although I was thinking when I heard this, I was
thinking like another foreign city. I wasn't thinking United States,
so I was in the wrong headspace. I was like,
what other European city are we going to?
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Yeah, Santorini.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
I also get my old my other teams from love
God would go to the Minnesota game. If it's in Minnesota,
I would love it, all right.
Speaker 11 (40:15):
One of the first voicemails we got was top off
season acquisitions or draft picks.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I would go Larry Tunsel. Let it starts there first.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
We haven't had a guy like this since Trent Williams.
He's dominant, especially in past blocking. Don't forget the Giants
have one of the best defensive lines assembled the rush
that you gotta go against again Philadelphia. You know who
Michael Parsons is now he got as a rouquet. Uh
So it's one of those things where reinforcements. So I
would say best free agent, I would go Larry Tunsel.
(40:46):
Best draft pick. I'm gonna go Connolly. I'm about re
I'm about reinforcing that line and protecting your asset. Right now,
the asset is Jedi five. He must be protected, the
force Smoltiplier must be protected.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
I agree with you you about Lamy Tunsel, like I
think that's the key to everything, unlocking that offense.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
But I would go Amos. I think is my favorite.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Drap Oh. They just love his length and I love
the way that he played in the SEC coming from
such a top notch conference, and even AP admitted, man,
we had some offers, but when we saw this guy here,
we knew this was our dude.
Speaker 4 (41:19):
When win situation drinks when win situation, all right.
Speaker 11 (41:22):
This fan knows you're a big superhero fan. If you
like the superheroes, what commanders would be in your Fantastic
four lineup?
Speaker 2 (41:33):
All right, it's mister fantastic. We'll be Jaydon Deans, the brain.
It's just something about how he gets things done in
his own way.
Speaker 4 (41:47):
Johnny would be who's the firecracker on this team? The
fire cracker?
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Who the fire cracker? Who's the guy that just gets
Steve popping? I think that'll be Debo, wouldn't he? I
mean probably so I can see Debo walking out to
the crowd in the game with the big command of
boom box. Oh yeah, I go Debo. Okay, it's Johnny.
Now it's Ben Grim. This means a big enforcer, right, Okay,
(42:15):
just a big enforcer Ken Law, Ken Law, like this
is being Griham. And then it's a visible woman like
who comes up missing on people?
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Probably Terry Sneaky sneaky comes.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
Up missing on you. Plus he a protector and he
loved people. She is the heart of the Fantastic Four.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
See, I could give you my favorite four, but I
can't name every character like you pass again. I mean,
I know the Fantastic Four, but I don't know the
name of each. Can you we just doing rosmore?
Speaker 4 (42:49):
For me?
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Well, JD five, I'd go Scary Terry. I love Mikey Sanricht.
I loved his game in Michigan.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
I think he's gonna take the next up this season,
and I gotta go off my dude to yeah, I
to me, I mean, I mean, I know Bobby Wagner's
right there, but when Louvu came.
Speaker 3 (43:05):
In, I think we all knew. Oh, it's just a
matter of time.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
This guy is a missile every time. I just sometimes
you just love watching someone play. I love watching Frankie Luke.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
I thought you have picked the rocky lane since he's
so fast for three speed as the human torch.
Speaker 4 (43:17):
Oh, that's a good one. It could have happened.
Speaker 11 (43:20):
Okay, last one, and I feel like we've talked about
this a little bit, so feel free to keep it
brief if you think we've gone over this. Yeah, what
does it mean to be a commander? And who do
you think best fits the label? On offense and on defense?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
You want to take this first?
Speaker 3 (43:36):
Of you won't need to go so I'll say on defense.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Since we I just mentioned Bobby Wagner, I feel like
he embodies everything it means to be a commander because he.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Always does things the right way.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
He sets an example with how he plays every play,
and you know that no one can set the tone
culture wise and a guy like that, because all you
have to do is walk in and say, oh that's
Bobby Wagner.
Speaker 4 (43:58):
Yeah the end.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
Yeah, I got to say on the defensive side of
the ball, I would go Frankie Louvu my my my homeboy.
Speaker 4 (44:09):
I got my best friend from Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (44:12):
He sent me this meme of Frankie Louvu jumping over
to the stadium because he was kept jumping over the
It's just something about his intensity, the way guys gather
around him before.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
The game, the dance, like every part of it. You
know he gonna leave it out on the field every
time he goes out there. So Frankie Louvu on defense
and Beyottish on like beyondish. To me, he.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
Changed with the offensive line could be would be in
half being. So I'm going Tyler beyonddish because the offensive
line never gets any love.
Speaker 3 (44:49):
What do you think, Annam Oh, Terry? You think Terry obviously?
Speaker 11 (44:55):
All right, yes, yes, I think that's a fan favorite.
I think on the offense, I like the old line.
I think zach Ertz right, I'm seeing him as a
tight end. But I feel like I should have been
chiming in too much. Yeah, but I think yeah, I
think as a as a commander veteran, that presence on
the team, I think he's been a great commander. Okay,
(45:16):
this one's a fun one. Best all time athlete nickname?
That's what will end the show.
Speaker 3 (45:21):
On all time athlete nickname.
Speaker 4 (45:24):
Well, it's hard to go pass Iron, Mike Tyson.
Speaker 5 (45:28):

Speaker 4 (45:29):
The logo, the logo, it's hard to beat the logo,
the fridge.
Speaker 1 (45:36):

Speaker 2 (45:37):
The question is our wrestlers consider the athletes? Oh yeah,

only wrestler never to say one word?
Speaker 4 (45:49):
The undertake?
Speaker 5 (45:50):

Speaker 4 (45:50):

slowly rises back up.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
