Happy New Year from the players Club. I'm London Fletcher,
joined my brother man side Town of Moss, Cowboy Killer
and we got Shot Spring aka Bluefoot. Okay, I can
need to get my aka Big Fletch. How about it,
Big flet fell us were winging in the new year
with the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yes, playoffs.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It sounds good, man, it sounds great, Hot Blue.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
How do you feel about that? Man?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I am so excited for the organization, man, because it's
just being growing up in Washington, DC. I know how
important it is for this team, you know, and people
forget this is a new regime, you know, transition, new.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Quarterback, everything's new.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know that the community was hungry for a winning
and we you know, but you know, and like you
said on the road at Home Home, man, this is
a big deal for the city.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Man, Tyler, you were you at.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
The game, you did the pregame show, post game show,
you bc B Mitch, the energy, excitement land.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
What what are you feeling about this, man? How are
you feeling?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I mean, the one thing that I that I mentioned
on the post game show, it's a walk that we
take from the press from the from this week to
the hallway before we go out down the field, and
it seemed like it's the same walk we up in
the game and by the time we get down there
to watch the rest of the game, it's a game.
It's one of those gut riching games like oh, man,
(01:37):
like this team got back in it. But just to
say that, man, you know, our team find a way
to be resilient and go out there and get the
job done.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So I'm astatic.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I'm ecstatic, to say the least, I think, you know
the thing that I'm most I guess you could say
since we in the holiday season, joyful about just to
watch the fans man interacting with them, seeing how that
that's they don't leave this They don't leave this sim
once it's over. They still in the seats talking to
us while we getting ready to do our post game show.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's an unbelievable time right now.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
To be a Commander fan being up here in d C.
I remember our years when we had some of my
playoff runs. Yeah, and it was like no other than
right now. I'm having that same feeling, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It just this this season feels different from a obviously
when we're in it as players, you know were those
are the two times I made the players. When I
played with you guys, we were always in a battle
to get to it that there is we had to
go on to two thousand and seven, had to go
on a four game winning street, twenty twelve time and
we had to go on a seven game winning street.
(02:38):
But this year, the way we've been able to go
about and the games, winning last minute games, you know,
to throw the hell Mary against the Bears. The game
went a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Coming
into the stadium, cars lined down. It was it was
felt like a mile of cars, you know, coming into
(02:59):
the state, the parking lot, that the concourse, the excitement pregame,
and then once the game started, and then just being
able to be a part of it, obviously playing here,
but being a broadcaster now and just watching Electricity and
watching I said it like this, Superman don't wear a
cap anymore. We wear number five man. And the sky's
(03:21):
the limit with this team. And the reason why I
say the sky's the limits is because of Dan Quinn. Yes,
and Quinn has these guys believing that they can be anybody, anybody,
doesn't matter what the situation is. What the score is,
They're down ten points at halftime. What happens? Defense holds
the Falcons the seven points in the second half, and
(03:44):
we scored thirty in the second half in overtime.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I mean twenty three the second half in overtime. Man, Yeah,
I mean unbelievable time.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Like I said before, man, And you know, since we
on that bringing in the New York type thing, we're
gonna ring in the best plays of twenty twenty four.
So I'm gonna start this off asks you guys, man,
what's your favorite game this season?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's that's that's that's a good one. That's tough obvious
for you know, I can tell you from the show.
We all came in after the Cargo Games mind block.
I think for me, if I had to do it,
say it, it wasn't necessarily my favorite game, but it
just something was different when we won that Monday night
game and I just for some reason that Jaden throw
(04:28):
to Terry and Terry's energy on the sideline and you
telling me, hey man, you know that might have been
the I remember you saying that might have been the
catch in the combination that might have sparked Terry. You know,
because even and it just felt like that team felt
like they could win, and I was like, oh, we
might have something special. So for me, it might have
been the Cincinnati Monday Night game night Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That was Monday night.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
It was Yeah, you're right, But if you think about
it up ut to that point, to your point about
the sparking the connection between Jayden and Terry, up.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Until that point they had made any connection.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
They had a couple in that ball game, I'm gonna
say this, man, it's a It's been a lot of
great games this year. Obviously the Chicago game, that Monday
night football game. I will say last weekend's game against
the Philadelphia Eagles, that for me was it wasn't a
pretty game by any stretch, to five turnovers, but to
(05:26):
be able to overcome that and the winner in the
matter that we won that ball game that right there,
and against who we want, the Eagles, the Egles, the
cream of the crop in our division right now, I had,
you know, hey, they were fighting competing for the number
one seed. But to be able to do that and
win that game, and there were so many moments that
(05:47):
that Jayden had, that the team had that you know,
we needed everybody to make plays, especially late in that
ball game. And and it happened, and you know, the
signature throw catch to a Jamie c crowded who Yeah, man,
the catch such, I'm gonna go with that. I'm gonna
go with that game. I guess the Eagles here.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, I think I'm with Blue on this one. I
think that Cincinnati game stood out to me. And yeah,
I was the one that came here. And I told you,
I say, man, the way you know I was it
got me crunk because just to see Terry feel the
way he felt. We had never shared that kind of
moment together. We have talked to him, you know, numerous
(06:27):
times walking through the building or anytime I had to
do an interview with him, but just the sense of
I got weight off my ship, you know, chest showers,
you name it, whatever you want to call it. And
what he said was, now he knows, you know what
I mean. His his quote was he know, now, Tyna,
he could throw that ball up to me. Yeah, come
down with it and trust me, man, I'm a ball catcher.
(06:49):
So when you have that kind of sense of you know,
I guess you can say clarity when it comes to
just I don't have to see him think no more.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't have to be.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I don't have to, man, Bro, that's the worst thing
about being either leaving that huddle and question is he
gonna come my way this time? I know I'm in
the progression. Is he gonna I'm gonna get open? Is
he gonna look my way? And folks don't felt, they
don't understand it, you know what I mean? And Fred
talk about it all the time about just how that's
the reason why he shot away from the position as
a kid, because you have to depend on so much,
(07:19):
you know what I mean, from the line protection, then
the quarterback to get you the ball, and hell just
the damn offense alone, the scheme just to go your way,
you know what I mean. So when Terry's gave me
that quote and that hug and we shared that little moment,
I knew right then and there it was on.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It was go shine for those guys. Yeah, Fred also
couldn't catch. That's why I shot pigs did he dropped?
We ain't gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We ain't gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I couldn't pass that.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
To you.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
You would You were talking great about sounds like I'm
a wait but I'm not this.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Man, Okay, So since we chimed in on our best games,
or give me one of your best please, twenty four.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So many man, so many?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Hell hell noah, hell noah. It's when you you watching
it and Jaden is back there, He's running around and
I'm like, you gotta throw it, like is he gonna
get the ball off? And for him to throw that
football and the execution guys being exactly where they needed
(08:31):
to be.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That showed the preparation that the coaching staff, the attention
to details, everybody being exactly where they needed to be,
and conversely the lack of attention to detail by the
Chicago Bears house they got it became chaotic for them
because of their lack of attention to detail. So that's
the play when you know, thirty forty years from now,
(08:54):
hopefully we're all still around when they say where were
you winning? I was in the broadcast when that happened,
you know, I'm saying I was like, when that play happened.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, that's got to be one of the greatest plays
we talked about in the history of this franchise. Is amazing.
For me, that was no doubt. I think that's for
all of us. But if we don't miss that field
going that the next Terry's catch against the all, oh yeah,
hell running down the sideline. Man, I was like, could
(09:24):
we possibly had the greater? Like like that was an
unbelievable I just like, hey, man, you're right, superman, he's
a magician, superman, whatever you want to call him. But
that play against the Cowboys, in that moment after we
all and just you know Terry, just.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I mean, that would have that would have been a
kind of iconic play in the Washington Dallas. But now
it's it's this goes into infamy because nobody lost the game.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
But I remember seeing that play and I'm just like,
are we serious right now? Could this be possibly happening again?
I just thought that was this unbelievable play.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Man.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It's hard to pick choose from, man, I think there's
so many different plays.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So I'm gonna go against the Green.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I'm gonna pick something that probably didn't stand out to everybody,
but it stood out to me.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The interception by Dante Fowler.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Oh yeah, interception just to run just everything about it,
just I think that was like a spark for him
really to kind of like you know, do some of
the things he did. I think right now, if you
look back at this last game, he's up to ten
and a half sacks now.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And so when you look at.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
The whole transition of after that moment of having that interception.
We had him here on the show one day time
and he said, that's that's the moment that he been
thinking about all his life. He'd been like, he's a
guy that grew up playing, you know, the tailback position.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
His dad was a tailback. He's a floor to the boy.
So he said, you know, that's how we do it,
and we get that ball in hand, we get missed
out though, to do len Cross, just to.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Know that a defensive guy have that kind of you
know ability, and not even just the ability he's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Been waiting for. He's been waiting to bring it out.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So I had to give him his flowers man and
say that was one of my favorite and probably best
players in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's it's been so when you to think about that,
there's been seasons where we would struggle to come up
with like favorite play right, favorite games.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
The fact we're sitting here currently eleven eleven eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Wins On the season, and I mean even in the losses,
you could like you picked the Terry play. There's been
moments in plays in every single game where you're like, man,
that's a highlight type of play. That's a memorable player
of the season. And you talk about the game against
the Carolina Panthers, I mean there was you know, so
many other players in games against against teams.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Who was just like we can actually pick up like
every week and say you make.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
A play that.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
The Baltimore Ravens game where where Jada hit Tarry on
the on the fourth down play the perfect ball, Like,
there's so many memories to pray the game against the
Giants in New York. Another type of play like that
the d Abby Brown big ball for what fifty yards
against the Egos you know last week.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So there, yeah, how you with that play? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
So many of them, man, And I think that's one
of the things that you get from having the season
that we have. You know, it's a lot of that's
that's half of the reason why we're where we're at,
because you have guys going out there and putting I
guess you could say they imprint on the game to
make it special. Speaking of we already talked about, you know,
favorite games plays, What are some of your favorite moments
(12:42):
this year with the fans? Man, Rather that's from rallies
or from from the trips that we take money. You know,
we can't to see them on the road or just
even at our you know, our home or you know,
interacting with them.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And I'll say this the difference in so I'm traveling,
I'm on the plane a couple of times week and
a lot of times I'll have on some Washington Commander's
gear and they're response by not just our fans, but
people that might not even be fans of our team.
Like man, y'all got a good team, you know, the compliments,
But then when you when we go to we're in
(13:16):
New Orleans, in Tampa Bay, and the amount of support
I wasn't in Arizona, but you were out there. Just
the amount of support and the appreciation that they have
for us, but we also have for them, like we
appreciate y'all coming out supporting us, spending your money, your time,
your efforts, your resources to support this football team. I'm
(13:37):
always and I know I'm sure you guys feel the
same way. I'm always cognizant of letting them know, like
we appreciate you guys. Those guys on that field need
you guys, and they need that support.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It means a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
And for me growing up in the area, I just know,
like all my boys from high school, they man, I
ain't going to the game no more days, pointed, people
haven't been for so many years, for so many years.
And then just you know these guys is like, man like,
just like oftentimes we forget our performance on I feel
(14:15):
and that that the looking forward to seeing Sunday what
it does forever like this the person's life like man,
like you know what I had a week, but my
team exactly right, or you know, or like you know
how excited people are looking forward to you know, the
(14:35):
conversations around and Jade is bro we got something, you know,
and it's just and and and this and this and
this hard and again I just hard. It brings the
community because I'll be seeing people out man, and it's like, man,
we loved you'all, who loved you when you playing and
stuff for man, these boys playing some football, you know,
and and and before I used to walk around and
(14:58):
he'd be like, man, I know who he is. I
don't even know how the guys on this team. Now,
we got guys making these memories. You're talking about become
a household names Frankie, yeah, you know, yeah, Martin, you know,
Mike sinisterial. So like like they and they started calling
(15:19):
them by their nicknames and so they can becoming familiar
with it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So I love saying that. How about this, And I
know we're talking about fans. What about Jeremy Reeves with
the proposal that, yeah, hats off to how did so
you gotta how do you execute that? So the game
is over? You gotta get your lady on the field.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I guess he had it all playing out and we win.
This thing must be had someone.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Bring her, But you gotta bring her down to the right.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
In the family section. That's that's closing it and back
of that end. So come on, come on.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
They had someone already like, hey, if everything goes, that's
playing and get them. And I'm not even sure if
you say that's playing. And he probably had on his mind,
so I'm the ring. Yeah he had the ring, so
so I'm not sure, but you know that was it
was you know, it was beyond me because I was
I'm like, oh, that's dope, bro, you know what I mean,
And just knowing reeves the way he's going to smacking
guys in the head, you know, playing the way he plays.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Man, just to see the little softer side of him.
You like a soft dude. You got that soft side
you're saying it was in the group man. Listen. I
can see him with the dance to dance y'all all
(16:38):
these feels that y'all want to you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Now, But since we're talking about the fans, I want
to mention one of the things that that that I
that I enjoy. You know, we talked about being on
the road. We talked about some of the things that
you know, Shawn experience. I think just you know, I'm
always have a couple of people with me at the games,
and you know, we played the game, so.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
We you know, we we.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Accepted because you understand and come of the territory, so
we understand the fans is going to always recognize, especially
when you was a guy that went out there and
did your job.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
At a high caliber.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I enjoy the love that my family or friends feel
from having that experience. They don't know how it is
to be in our shoes. They never walked them out
when it comes to what we had to be as
professional athletes or football players. And the joy they get
out of seeing the fans interact with me.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
You know, one of my closest friends his cousins up
here and you know, and we kind of showing them
something different. You know, you got to get a guy
from out of Miami and say, man, look this is
a little better way of living up here. Yeah, you
could do the same thing down there if you want
to go find a job. There's plenty of them out here.
When he gets a chance to walk in that stage,
you would think he played because now he can just
walk around. They know him first name and everything, and
(17:51):
he likes up. Bro. He's like, man, I say, yeah, bro,
but this is you know what I mean, this is
the world we in And it's not just because you
play ball. You have to be, you know, handling your
business out there because them fans will show you and
tell you get out of there, you know what I mean.
But just the joy every week, every time you get
(18:12):
a chance to go to the home game.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Man, he's loving it.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So I enjoyed the fact that he gets the chance
to you know, feel like he feels off of just
some of the things that I went out there and
sweated and you know, did everything else for it. But
that's the joy you get from the fans. That's what
the fans give back to us. And like think about it,
we ain't play play play ball. I ain't playing ten years.
You know, I'm pretty sure you guys a little longer.
But that goes to show you, man, these guys are
(18:37):
gonna always remember you, especially if you went out there
in your business.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Impact man, impact that that you can have on on
this uh, this area the d MV.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
The fact you can be in Maryland being and you know,
Virginia being Heck, I was in the Bahamas last week.
It was fans down there in the Bahamas.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You know we always you know, growing up we were
we were the big dogs in there since Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But winning they're the big dogs. And we ain't no
little bro. We ain't a step bre step brother no more.
You know, it feels good to know that to day
they got a team and here in the d n V.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Last but not least, give me, give me a moment
or memory this year as a broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Man like doing this show or no matter anything you
couldn't get about you you know, moment we got.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
We had some fun times, shure man, just the cracking
of the jokes and the you know, the reminiscent of
the stuff that happened when we play obviously with the
Brown came to the video camera in the in the.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Boothy' getting something. Yeah, actually recognization.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Right now and I'm just being me like what plays happened?
He caught it right and they're like, man, you're about
to knock brow them out the boot. I'm told Brad
we got to get.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
His way to the man. I'm just.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Right now, New Year, somebody.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
So for me, it's the hell Noah that play and
then the touchdown the game winner against the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Those those those two are both the same.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For me this year when we having guys on the show,
it was one thing like that kind of got me
to give me goosebumps every time I think about it.
How many guys that we had come on show talk
about brotherhood, how many guys that we come in here
was just talking about like I want to play for him.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I love playing for d Q. Jane's leader. Like so.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's always interesting. He learned, like we learned something about
somebody every week. Dante Floyd, he always wanted to be
running back. We had, we learned about coins, oh yeah,
people having babies before, you know. And for me, it
was about this really having the chance to see like
(20:57):
these guys genuinely love being in this organization playing for
coach Quinn, excited about it, you know, just you know,
Frankie was cool, little Mike, you know, you know it
just cause all the guys were great. So I just
love that they got a little bit of that. That
locker room Phil came back when we had those guys
on the show, so that was big.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I'm always get a thrill out of having the guys
on the Players Club because you get a chance to
one meet the.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Guy, you know what I mean, and know I'm outside
of being a player too.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
They get a chance to know who we are because
half of the time those guys hear our name, see us,
they really don't know, you know what I mean. And
that's when I feel like we get that we kind
of shut that bond of knowing that we asked players bro.
I mean, I know you might see us on the
other side, don't think that we're sitting over there and
ready to write something bad.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
So we want to we want to pick you up,
you know what I mean. I want to pick you
up and talk great about you.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
But when once they leave his room, the interaction you
get after which now when you see him at the stadium.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
They was, what's up, Tenner? You know what I mean?
Because now you broke that barrier.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
It broke that wall, and so that's what I get
to kick out of and know when I got your back,
bro talk great.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
About you, know what I mean, We're gonna hype you.
You to your point.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
So last weekend, last after the Philly game, I finally
met I met o Z for the first time. A
lot of these kids and people like, how's that correct?
You know, we're a lot of times we're just passing by,
you know, their their meetings, they're doing their thing, they're
on the practice field. We're around, but we don't get
a chance to actually a lot of times to just
(22:28):
have an introduction stuff like that. So I finally introduced
myself because we were about to interview him and I
was like, yeah, hey, what's up man, I'm London And
so he's like, nice to meet you, and so about
five seconds pancy he's like.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
He's like, oh, man, like, yeah, think about as players, man,
you know, I remember Doc Walker and and be Mit
and all those guys, and we knew a little more
about missus playing when I got in the he still
Doc was a guy that he was doing a lot
of the broadcast up and I would see him in
the building, but he was Doctor is a different kind
(23:07):
of dude.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He gonna go out his way and conversation with you.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
And so when you have that relationship, especially Doc just
being an offensive guy and you know, well spoken, always.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Got some shout out to the d shout out to
the d OZ actually got me.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
You know, he was the first I did my first show,
you know, after you know, I retired with Doc NBC.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah. Doc scared the crap out of me. Man, you know,
and I'm like I got to deliver like that. I mean,
but it was a fun experience.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
But just going back seeing how that that moment was
for me as a player, just imagine how the players
look at us, some of them kind of timid to
even say hi, you know what I mean. You got
other guys who've been around here long enough to know
us a little personally. So it's it's always a joy
man just to get him on the players club. But
this is where they get to come and that.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Like them.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Man, you played this game and we just now, you know,
having a having a blast of being able to share
our memories and their their their funnest memories, you know,
right now, this far in their career.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
All right, fellas, it's that time of the show man.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know, I got to break em out. No doubt
I didn't get that. I didn't get that ice for Christmas.
I give a shout out to the respect we got.
We all got a way of respect.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Shut that out.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I saw that, I saw this.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I gotta I had to cop this one.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
No doubt this would be a nice get for all
the former legacy players.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know, I see big fletch. I might have walked
up and play, man, what size is that? Want into big?
You better want to say that.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I hope you mean loved it to not make clutch,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I'm a second.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Don't make it.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Tell I heard I heard the old fleshes and take
people lunch. That was bad. Bam. You really don't want
to be down man. I don't like to memory back.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, you like, damn, man, I can't even So I'm
talking to my kids the other day. I don't know
how we got to talk about punching somebody or what else. Like,
I think I was telling Steve like I want to
give you a knuckle sandwich or whatever something so and
Brooke was like.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Uh, this is my baby girl. She's like, you ain't
never hit Nobody liked what she's like.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I was like, yes, she's like, why would you punch somebody?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I said, you know what, I would let her. I
would leave it there.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I said, Brook, you right, we don't do that, all right, man, listen,
let's it's tied to hand out these dubs of the week. Man,
gotta gotta recap the game against the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Tyah, who you get up? Who are gonna get a
dub too? Or dubs too?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
You know, it's kind of like one of those situations
where we all probably gonna say.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
The one guy.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
So I'm not even gonna mention him. I'm I'm gonna
stay in my room, the wide receiver room. I'm gonna
say the kids and give him, give him his flowers.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Man. I think you know we talked about the last
ball that he missed that. I know he wants back.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I know right now he's probably thinking about that, eating breakfast,
getting ready to come over here just to watch film
and stuff. But it's one of them situations, man, where
Terry didn't have his day, his normal, his usual day, and.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Somebody had to step up.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
And you know when you have a receiver and know
ah brown down, we're looking for that next threat, looking
for that next weapon on the offense, especially on the
house side, and the.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Kids had a day.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Not only did he have a day, he actually had
a day against his old team. The Eagles had to touchdown.
Then he dubbed up and said, hey, you know what
I was. I was a Falcon one time too with
the d Q and he showed up. Man, he would
have had two touchdowns again. It would have been back
to back games, this guy having two touchdowns if it
wasn't for that that that late penalty or from Cosby
(27:15):
on the other one.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So which question? Which? Which is very question? You know
we're gonna talk about foot loggers, about those reps.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
You know, we gotta get them their flowers for it
seemed like to be lopsided all the time when it
comes to giving us all, you know, all.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
The flags or whatever, but stick to the strip.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
The kids get the dub or the week I think
he went out there and played phenomenal or he's definitely
one of those guys that you can honestly say, man,
when we need him to make a play man, he's
right there do it doing so.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm full of tan on you because you know Tanner.
Sometimes he'll be like, I'm gonna go with the coach,
I'm gonna go with the organization.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Two.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It is so easy to say we got we made
the right decision, but it's so easy to say they
made the wrong decision. I think this organize sationation picking Jaden,
the guys they brought in like o Z and the
rookies and Louisvu. Free agency. We talked all year about
the free agencies and the impacts they've made for us.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
To win four wins last year, yeah, yeah, yeah, to win.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
A playoff birth at home is still possibility for the
sixth seed at home in front of our home crowd,
and give what we've been talking about back to the community.
You got to give a shout out to the ownership
leadership for I mean dan Quinn, I mean just everything
seems to be going right, and I just want to
(28:42):
give a shout out and say thank you man, because
you know that's big, bro. It is really big, and
we talked about it. So my double the week is
to getting into the playoffs. Since how long has it
been since we've been in the playoffs? Twenty twenty, we
came long since were eleven wins.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
It's a long time. That was the last time we
had a level and that's hard to be one of
the better teams that they had.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Ever ever, So now we're talking about an amazing team
that gave a special moments, bought the fan base back,
the community excited about it, and we got a playoff firs.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I got two dubs that I'm gonna give out, and
the first one pull a Tana. I'm gonna give it
to the coaching staff. And the reason I give it
to the coaching staff is because coaches. You people want
to know why these coaches get paid all that type
of money you get paid through the week. Obviously come
up with a game plan preparing your team, but you
(29:42):
really earn your money with the end game adjustments that
you make, and especially the adjustments you can make at
the at halftime, and you look at that game in
the first half, we down ten points. Was not playing
good football. The Falcons had rushed for over one hundred
yards offensively, was it was. It was just off kilter,
(30:03):
a bunch of penalties, couldn't get the run game going.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Nothing was going our way.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The adjustments that they made at halftime, when you come
out and you see we held held the Falcons to
seven points, we scored twenty three points. Our run game
got going end up with I think two hundred and
sixteen yards rushing.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The adjustments we made to like you said, clock before
clock management.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
The adjustments they made to that that that package that
the Falcons was coming with. They were showing a look
one way, bringing a blitzer off the off the other side,
and we were having a lot of trouble with that.
The adjustment, it was like three different adjustments that we made,
maybe even four different adjustments we made to that, and
that was the difference in us winning that game. And
then I'm gonna give my second dubs to two guys
(30:51):
in the secondary.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
The two safeties, yes.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Kwhan Martin and Jeremy Chene had to pick had another
big hit that that dislodged a ball. And also there
was a play by Jeremy Sheen on the sideline. Yep,
you know, broke up a pass on a big third down,
so gotta get it. And he had a big hit
down the middle as well, So shout out to those
guys as well. You're listening to the Players Club presented

Any car, anyway for everyone since nineteen eighty eight.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
So this is how we started drive Time.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Did you know the last the other night game against
you know the Tempa I mean Atlanta Falcons. You know
the overtime win. The last time we had overtime win
was against That's Cowboys twenty fourteen. I didn't even I
don't remember, but you might remember, you, my player, Well,
(33:40):
guess what we got them coming up this week?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yes, sir, so give me some of your memories.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I know we have some memories about Cowboys, but some
of y'all fundest memories of playing up against those boys.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Man, I tell you what, it's just the physicality of
the games.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Then I've been I played for three different organizations, Rams
Bill and obviously here and every team.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Every team has their kind of rivalry game. Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
That rivalry definitely hit different and felt like it was
truly the Dallas Week.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
That when you walk.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Around town, when you're out the fans, hey it's Dallas
Week and all the excitement that the intensity of the game.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I just remember how many the physicality of those games, man,
like you were recovering.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
It took you three or four days to recover from
them games. That's that's my memories of going against Cobhich.
Obviously the wins over overweight the losses, and especially when
we won games in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's always nice. Now, we always talked
about your game. That was I was part of that experience.
But I'm gonna take it back a little further. But
this is why I knew Dallas Week was serious. My
dad when my dad played for the Cowboys, they came
and played at rfk H And I don't of if
y'all remember that if you're a football fans, But that's
(35:02):
when they got into I was sitting in the stands.
I never forget. They got into a big brawl in
a corner. You talking about punching people. Man, they were
scrapping back and forth, back and forth. So I knew
right then, theres little boy watching that game.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
These teams really don't like E.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
So so with that in the back of my mind
growing up, I knew the Dallas was a big robbery.
But that's a fond murmur in my mind. Like, man,
these teams they look Drew Pearson, Tony Dorris, said my dad,
all of them right, everybody in the you know ed
two tall Jones against you know, Daryl and all those
guys was out there the Hogs. So that was my
(35:38):
finest one of my memories, early memories. But you know,
just it's tooth for me personally, man, And you know
I had a chance to witness it. But my fonest memory,
Dallas had to be that Monday night to testdown and
the reason why I was so the reason why it
was so big to me, the reason why I was
so big to me because I remember Tanner's facing, how
pisty was.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
He wouldn't get like he was so upset, but I
was like thirty eight. That's how you know I thirty eight.
That's my memory, man. So well, you know, the rivalry was.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Kind of sprung upon me, like you know, I like,
think about it. You played for three different organizations. I
played for two.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
When I was in New York. You know, you had
your division opponents.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
You know I was you know, I was a Jet,
So we had the Dolphins, New England, the Bills, and Naptown,
those Coats. The coach got out our division. So it
was just the other guys that I that I mentioned.
New England was the Dallas game for me when I
was a Jet. Every time I played in New England,
it seemed like I just went and did something special
and not to know that that was gonna be the
(36:42):
team that's winning the Super Bowl every year while I
was over there. And then I come here and it's
the second game of the year my first year. So
I had played Dallas once before as a Jet and
didn't really know how much this game meant to the city.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I knew it was a rivalry.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
I just didn't know how much it meant, you know,
because you know you got the Giants, then you have
who else we have we had to lose, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
So I didn't know which one, you know, carry more weight.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
So I'm just like, hey, this is the second game
of the Season's the visional game. I'm going up there
with no intentions of just I'm playing football, you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
It ain't big, it's not the biggest game.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
It's Monday night. But I just haven't even killed about
me when it comes to those games. I'm not trying
to get too high because I know that can shadow
all your things that you're trying to prepare to do.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
So to see what happened, you know.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
And like I say, people would tell me about that moment,
like as if it happened yesterday, and I'm sitting there
with a straight face. They're like, you don't remember it. Yeah,
I remember I did it, you know. But they were like,
why you don't feel so, And I'm like, no, I do.
I love every moment about it. It's just to know
that it happened so late in the game and it
wasn't probably my best get right, So to have that
(37:54):
moment in that game then.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
To know that, okay, it's on now. You know, from
now on, I have to have the kind of moment
these guys, and it's hard to do. It's hard to do.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
But it seemed like every time I got a chance
to play these guys, even if I wasn't having that
kind of a season, the coaching staff will come to
me like, Tannah, you ready to like ready, last, last.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Everywhere?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Man, I got as you were talking, and I just
got the remolition. That's why I'm over here smiling. And
I got to thinking about the twenty twelve when it
take off of the division. That that Sunday night football game, man,
and they flexed our game, flex it that made it
the That was the last game of the regular season
twenty twelve for the Crown. Whoever won that game was
(38:50):
going to be NFC East champions and make the playoffs. Say, man,
I can just it feels like yesterday. I remember how
I felt that morning when I woke up up the
drive to the to the stadium, I was I was
locked in sleep.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Man, as your sleep when you're.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Gonna take I took a hand. I'm asleep. Yeah, that
was That's part of the routine. But just I was
there was a Tessie. You guys probably remember just I
was very quiet game they I didn't want you talking to.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
But it was even a deeper level anyway. Nice.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
But just I just felt even more ramped up and
amped up in that game. I can just remember, like
we're about to bust a time. It's go timing. And
the way we beat them, we had we put in
this defensive game plan. Man, they had no answer to
this blitz package that we were. We were coming up
(39:54):
against them. Well, I mean it was we had Romo
shot they could they could deal with us and and
have a.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Running back. Uh what can the alpha alpha boards from
running for two hundred dudes?
Speaker 6 (40:08):
Man?
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Thinking about it though, Man, just think about it, And
I don't want to get too long winning on just
our memories. Just think about some of the moments of
you know, the past that made this game special. You
know what I mean, the thighs men's, the emms smith moments,
the you know ape men like what in one of
those give me a memory of you being I don't know,
you know, a kid or just I told you the
(40:31):
one was the big fact that I got.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I got a few Daryl Green running down Tony door Set.
Obviously he was my godfather, was my dad, best friend.
But you know Tony door Set was like, ain't nobody
Once he broke out boom me a sideline, it was over.
You know you're not catching him at that time, right,
So darl running him down showed the effort in the
show why he was a fast man NFL.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
That was that was That was crazy. And another moment
I remember just when the Hogs.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I don't know, I don't know what year it is,
but you always see it back on NFL films and
Coach Giff talked about it a couple of times when
when the whole team jumped up and dressed up a
military fatima. Yeah, into the Cowboys stadium. You see it
every now and then. But I was just like man,
I would have loved been a part of that, like
you walking in were ready for war babies. So those
are the two memories, like man, that the old old
(41:24):
legacy dude.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Right yeah, speaking of Doc Walker, I was.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Doc has told the story several times where it was
a game and things laid against the Cowboys and they
Joe Gibbs would call one play and the quarterback in
the offensive lineman. I think it might have been Russ
Grimm or somebody like, uh no, we're running. We want
to run this power this power play, this collar trail,
whatever the play was, and like they kept running it
(41:50):
over and over and over again, and they were literally
tell him. I think it might have been big Deef tackle.
Was it Randy White for.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
The moss, you know right?
Speaker 3 (41:59):
They kept telling him like were about to run this
this play, like you better strip up, and they just
part of that brig Oa just I mean, just to
hear that story. And I went when he told the story,
I actually went back and looked at the game footage.
Oh man, you talk about a guy. I think it
beauty the way they ran that football.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
You know, you know, speaking of those memories, man, I
gotta I gotta admit, it's funny how we get motivated
from off of different things we see. And that's one
of the things that's special about this game. That's why
I've always tell my son, like, Bro, the only way
you're gonna be able to have an effect on.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
This game and and and do what you sought out
to do with this game is watch it. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (42:43):
You know I've learned more from watching others playball than
me sitting up there looking at x's and O.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Honestly, you know some of the things I do in
the game. It comes you know, people like, man, how
did you do that?
Speaker 4 (42:55):
Well, it's instincts one, but also you saw a guy
in that moment or in that situation from watching him
and you knew that.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Okay, I swear to God to you, Bro. I run
routes and I.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
Remember watching other folks run these routes, and I remember
the coverage in my head of how when that guy
caught that corner, if it was covered too, that safety
was there. If he turned up, he's gonna get smacked.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
So I was catching it. I would settle at like
I'm an turn up and then turn back in.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Stuff like that, and you think it's subtle, it's in
your game, but you learn how to kind of you know,
maneuver and be special and how those moments because of
what you saw. Thinking back, we can talk about the
memories of watching eight men of them, you know, going
up against his team. My funnest memory, man, was when
I was in college and Randy Moss's first year going
(43:43):
against the Cowboys and know the Cowboys was on the
clock and they didn't get it to I mean he
was still there and they didn't go out to him.
The man had three catches, three touchdowns, almost two and
that moment there, it lives in the back in my head.
And I swear to you not only because it was Moss,
but just knowing that was my first NFL jersey.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Too crazy. It's crazy Randy Mass jersey, my first NFL
goot out A big I was a big Jed Rice.
Speaker 7 (44:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
We ain't had no money for no Jed rights jersey
back then. Check it. In college. It was a gift.
It was a man.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
You know.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
We had crazy fans and this girl on my floor
in my dorm room.
Speaker 4 (44:25):
Her dad was a big Heard fan and they gifted
me a really Moss authentic jersey from uh.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
No shout out to Minaments giving n.
Speaker 6 (44:42):
You know we do.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
We just tr to set the tone. Man, It's time
to set the tone.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Brought to you by Johnson Kendall Johnson, the official insurance
broker at Risk Management Partner of the Washington Commanders, Where
our passion is your protection. We gotta set the tone.
We got to talk about this. It's a second they
mean to get to the Cowboys. Yeah, first meet did
go our way. It's opportunity for us to secure the
(45:08):
sixth seed, win twelve games in the season, twelve to five,
that'd be great. What adjustments do we need to make
from that first game to this game against the Cowboys Blue?
Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Well, well, first of all, if you would have asked
anybody at the beginning of the season who and you
just put the records up with both teams, they would
have said Cowboys were DAC and those guys have the record,
and we would have been the team that's you know,
looking at you know, a top five pick. One of
the things I think when you know and coach Quinn
(45:42):
talked about it each week, we stand level. Yeah, Dallas
is Dallas regardless, and we've been talking about it. Of
the records, Dallas is gonna come to play us tough.
They could be ourt CDM. They get Doc is outy
at Cooper Rush, they still have Donald, they still got Bland,
this actor. Got some guys that can play, but they're
not they don't have their team, but I guarantee you
(46:05):
that they've been told by those fans and Jerry Jones
it means something. So one of the one of the
things I think as a team we have to come
in and understand that is that's gonna play hard. They're
gonna play physical, They're gonna try to spoil our season
because that's the only thing they got is to beat us. Yea,
So we have to go down there and whoop them
(46:28):
like we're supposed to whoop those guys. But we also
got to understand we're gonna have to execute I think
our game plan and where you said earlier in the
show Red, we make all adjustments at this point. It's
a mindset how bad we want to get to twelve wins.
I think it's an attitude thing this week, going down
there and understand if those guys ain't been in the organization,
it's important DUTs came up here and beat us to
(46:51):
meant something.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:52):
I think also we kind of gave them a kind
of we allowed Cooper or Rushed to get in the rhythm.
I think it was a lot of layups we gave them.
Those guys basically ran hitches on us and just moved
the ball up and down the field. They took what
we allowed them to do and then they ran the
ball well. So we can kind of combat a little
bit on how we do things up front, you know,
slow down that running game. But at the same time,
(47:14):
even if we don't, because we've seen our team allow
teams to run on us and we still come away
with a victory because we did enough when it came
down to crunch time in the red zone to stop
them and force them to a field. He can't give
them no layups on our side, especially with Ceedee Lamb out.
You know, we literally was giving them five to seven
yards and they literally took advantage of a poop hitch
out the hitch. They moved themself up and down the field,
(47:37):
just throw throwing the ball. Right now, I think Rush
is one of those guys that we know he can
get rid of the football. So you gotta bring something
to him. You gotta give him something a little funky
enough to make him ritle a little bit, take a
little bit from what the Eagles did to him.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I mean, that was a example.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
It's crazy that they still you know, was in rhythm
earlier in that game without Ceedee Lamb in the passing game,
but once it got a hand and guy that you
know what I mean, you.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
Just have to do what we need to do.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
And like I said before, it's not about them, And
Dan said the best, you know, when we get into
these games about us.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
What do we need to do to go out there
and get the job done?
Speaker 4 (48:11):
And Uh, that's one of the reasons why I love
this staff, because I've rest assured that this man, these
guys are gonna be prepared. You know, even when we
saw this past weekend. Man like I was scratching my
head a lot that first half, but I knew in
the second half things was gonna change. Defensively, We're gonna
find a way to stop these guys. Offensively, somebody gonna
step up and make a play, and that's just how
(48:33):
it is. So I think those guys will have a
good enough game plan to go on there and try
to get a dub against them.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
I think the biggest adjustments need to be made in
the trenches.
Speaker 3 (48:42):
We lost the trench warfare on both sides of the
ball against the Cowboys that game. And you know, we
weren't We were not what we needed to be, especially
in the run game. I thought Dallas they came in
there with the mindset they weren't gonna let us run
the football against them.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
The defensive line. Really they dictated the terms of the agreement.
In that ball game. They were able. You mentioned them
being able to run the football. Coming into that game.
They hadn't been running the ball that well, but you know,
they had.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
Some success running the football. So it has to be
a situation where it's gonna be a hard watch from
the old line and d line. And you know, you
got to watch that game and you like, dag, I
can't believe you know this way we played against these guys.
But it also is a motivated fact, Yeah, because you
get an opportunity to right or wrong, like, okay, they
(49:32):
got the best of me that first time, let me
go out and uh, a little bit of motivation on
Dallas defense had to do with those guys were coached
by coach Quinn. Oh yeah, absolutely, like that what that
meant to them? You know, I'm sure and even you
know Mike Zimmer and so as the defensive coordinator. Hey,
they you know the definity that those players have for
(49:53):
Dad Quinn like, hey, I'm coming to him the new guy.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
I want to show. I want to make sure make
them look like boys fences we can ball too.
Speaker 3 (50:01):
So there was definitely some motivation in one two to
play extremely well obviously against dan Quim, but we're trying
to This game has to mean more for us because
we're playing for something.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
We're playing for the sixth seed. The twelfth was.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
When we win that twelve win, that'd be great, but
we're still trying to solidify being the sixth seed and
sixth seed in the in the playoffs. So d Q
is gonna have those guys ready to play. I don't
I don't question that at all. You can't allow Dallas
to kind of hang around this game. A lot of
those guys are already packed up. You want to give
(50:39):
them a reason to maybe like, all right, you know what,
it's just one year. Let me let me go ahead
and get ready to hit the crank that come vehicle
up bout of here.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
That's that's uh, that's it. Man. It was a great
kind of recap of this uh this season in preview.

Speaker 1 (52:17):
Welcome back to the Players Club.
Speaker 3 (52:19):
As promised, we got, Tyler biatis joining us on the show.
I appreciate it, Tyler, we appreciate you coming into our
our hubble of Bowl Man Man Players Club. This is
your ice cold Player, presented by Pepsi, the official soft
drink of the Washington Commanders. So this is your fifth
season of the league, first here in Washington. What has
(52:40):
this uh has a transition been like for you coming
over here?
Speaker 8 (52:43):
Man, It's been a great experience.
Speaker 7 (52:44):
I mean obviously like coming from UH having a lot
of guys in free agency, like coming to this organization,
the revamp of the organization.
Speaker 8 (52:53):
To new ownership, new gym, new coach.
Speaker 7 (52:56):
But no, it's been it's been great to build that
brotherhood and you know, obviously known DQ for the past
three years, you know where we've been at in Dallas.
But you know, just the overall experience has been so
cool to just see us leveling up each and every week,
coming from OTAs to camp to the season and just
progressively having that growth mindset and that championship standard that
(53:19):
DQ always talks about.
Speaker 4 (53:20):
Speaking of that experience, man, you know, it's kind of hard,
should I say, when you have so many new guys
on an office in line to kind of.
Speaker 1 (53:27):
Jailed out the game like that? What has you know,
a tribute to you guys.
Speaker 4 (53:31):
Being able to jail and be it, you know, playing
the way you guys have been playing this year.
Speaker 7 (53:35):
Yeah, I mean I think it's just attitude and like
the work ethic I think coming from OTAs and getting
no guys and everything like that out of free agency,
but just getting the no guys like personally, I mean
like going out to eat, you know, having dinners you
know with you know the wives or girlfriends or whatever,
and just kind of just yelling and creating chemistry off
the field.
Speaker 8 (53:54):
I think it's just almost as important doing it in
the building.
Speaker 7 (53:57):
Yeah, So you know, we had that experience, you know,
more SOHW and OTAs and even a little bit through
camping during the season.
Speaker 8 (54:03):
Then it's just you know, you're in.
Speaker 7 (54:04):
The building all the time together, so that's like that's
the main time you're you know, you're you know getting
the fits and how does it, how does this block
and what footwork you're going to do and everything like that.
So a lot of a lot of stuff to do
with chemistry. And you know, I thought our our OLNE
coach Bobby Johnson does a great job with us and
and bringing us together and you know, making sure we
get what we.
Speaker 8 (54:23):
Need and to be successful. And I think, you know,
it's obviously showing.
Speaker 7 (54:26):
But how we talked about before, like that growth mindset
of never getting good placement and always taking it a
step further. So but no, man, it's it's been great
just with the guys and and great great great room,
great in the online.
Speaker 8 (54:37):
Man.
Speaker 3 (54:38):
As we look at this free agency draft class and
just free agents coming to sign throughout the league, you
were one of the what I feel one of the
most underrated sign is if you look at what you've
been able to do, you've been probably one of the
best free agent signs and throughout the National Football League.
One of the things that you talked about coming over
(54:58):
here is you wanted to be a leader. How has
that role and how have you embraced that leadership role
coming over here and being a part of this.
Speaker 8 (55:06):
I think I think, you know, I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (55:08):
I think the biggest thing is the new experience because obviously,
like I'm moving to a new place and a new environment,
but also knowing like what the culture was at and
you know how the organization was and you know, playing
Jonathan Allen and Durron Payne for all those years, and
but just to see it in their eyes and to
have that you know, feeling of like like that winning
(55:30):
you know, trend in that like direction and having them
of what they've wanted and needed for like those years
and you know, just to get right behind them, man
and just get right behind him and wanting to have them,
you know, what they've built to, you know, over the
years as well. And to be a part of that
man like that was like the embracing role of like,
(55:52):
you know, whatever I can give, I'm gonna give it,
you know, and you know, I think you know, and
OTAs we had a great off season where we got
to work with Navy Seals and we got to do
all these activities and different groups and everything and and
create our own standard of our team. And I thought
that was the biggest thing about you know, just the
(56:13):
growth and the progress we had. I thought that was
like the biggest week to just kind of evolve together
as one. And you know, culture is not an easy
thing and that takes a lot of commitment, and it
takes a lot of guys and a lot of sometimes
hard conversations and everything, and and to be a leader,
and you know, you got to put yourself out there too.
So I mean, I thought the biggest part was just
(56:36):
you know, having those conversations and and having whatever we
need to be successful, like whatever that is, just to
embrace it and grind and just be gritty.
Speaker 4 (56:45):
You know. Yeah, yeah, I love that hearing you talk
about being a leader. And I think, you know, especially
when when you when you fit in that role and
you have a you got a young guy in the
office of line, you know, rookie Coleman. How's it been
for you guys bringing him up to and you know
what's been like for him just to see him out
there doing his thing and you know, playing playing alongside
of you guys.
Speaker 7 (57:05):
Yeah, man, he's been a great rookie. And I I
just go back to my experience too of like you know,
how I had h you know, I had Zach Martin
and Tyron Smith, you know, take me in when I
was a rookie and how they led me and and
you know, give off that experience as well and what
I could have used or whatever. And and and that's everyone, Sam,
Nick Algready, Andrew Wiley, Lucas Lucas, everyone, everyone that's a
veteran our room. And we have a good amount of
(57:26):
guys that are above their fifth years. So like, yeah,
you know, we all you know, brought him in man
like hey, man, like you know, check this out or whatever,
cheating ropes and everything, you know, And but man, he's
been he's been just leveling up each and every week.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
Man, good another rookie kid, Jada Dais just let you go,
what has it been?
Speaker 4 (57:47):
Like?
Speaker 3 (57:48):
I know you played with you play with dak uh
in Dallas and I couldn't remember any other rookie quarterbacks
have you played with?
Speaker 1 (57:55):
And what what makes Jaden so special? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (57:58):
I mean, you know, the first thing I write down
and our offensive you know, team meeting that we have
is just protecting umber five man, and you know, and
that's the biggest part.
Speaker 8 (58:06):
And you know he's a very special talent.
Speaker 7 (58:08):
But for what he is on the field and how
he is off the field and how he can just
gel with guys you know and just continue to grow,
I mean, I mean, it was it was cool. It
was a cool moment I saw when Noel Brown came
in after camp.
Speaker 8 (58:24):
And he wasn't activated.
Speaker 7 (58:25):
I don't think the first week is here, but when
he was after practice just throwing routes, telling him like,
you know, if this gives this coverage, like I'm gonna
get here whatever and all this stuff. And we played
New York and the you know passes he had in
New York and with Noel Brown late in the game.
But it's like he just got here and to be
on the same page like that, you know, you know,
you know, we're gonna do whatever we need to do
(58:47):
to make you know, keep that pocket clean.
Speaker 8 (58:49):
And but man, he's been he's been great. But all
I can say is like he is very mature. He
is very mature, and in his growth over the season.
Speaker 7 (58:58):
You see it every week and how he and whether
it's you know, the protections and the looks or.
Speaker 8 (59:04):
Or what he sees on the reeds. Man, Like you know,
that's that's a lot for a defense, you know.
Speaker 7 (59:07):
So I mean and what you know, what do you
want to you know, we've seen so many different types
of looks too, so you know, you get you get
a variety. But he's seen it all, which is great,
especially this type of in this part of the season too,
So which is awesome look forward to.
Speaker 1 (59:20):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (59:21):
I mean, not only are you stellar as a player,
but you are as well off the field.
Speaker 1 (59:27):
Talk to me a little bit about hometown hero.
Speaker 7 (59:30):
Yeah, yeah, no, me and my me and my best
friend back at home.
Speaker 1 (59:33):
He uh.
Speaker 7 (59:34):
We we went to AMers High School together and we
went to Wisconsin together, and he was the backup for
Jonathan Taylor when we were there and everything, and you know,
he tried in the NFL and you know, he he
he got with the Raiders and everything that being's out
of the league right now. But we as a hometown,
(59:55):
we're only town on with thousand people, so you know,
I thought it's very you know, very small town but
very tightened into you.
Speaker 8 (01:00:00):
Know, and very special to us.
Speaker 7 (01:00:02):
But also you know, we had a lot of guys
at Wisconsin and that we're from a small town and everything,
and our kind of concept with that was like hometown
hero in regards of like you know a lot of
these small schools, but all of us, even our college
you know, teammate, former college teammates and everything like that,
we can have that same type of camp in regards
of like those smaller towns yea. And but it's never
(01:00:23):
too big and never too small, right you know, like
it doesn't matter where you come from and everything like that.
So but no, just the special of like you know,
where I come from and how I grew up and
and you know, you know, don't even look at you know,
the percentage of getting here or there. It's just you know, manifestation. Man,
Just go after it, like you know, reiterated every single day. Whatever,
you know, whatever you set your mind to, just believe
(01:00:45):
in it and keep going forth.
Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
Coming out of high school, you were actually recruited as
a defensive lineman. You made to switch over, you know,
being a former linebacker. I call it the dark side
to the offensive side and obviously play centered. Now what
was that transition like and how are you able to
kind of tap into your background as a former D
(01:01:07):
lineman It helps you when you're facing these defensive linemen.
Speaker 7 (01:01:10):
Yeah, no, I mean, uh, you know, coming out of
high school it was interesting too because I went to
Wisconsin camp and they're like, you're the best lineman at
the camp.
Speaker 8 (01:01:17):
You know, they wouldn't really like.
Speaker 7 (01:01:17):
E specify, but I signed the d LI stylar shape
and then when I got there, I was like playing
on line but it was it was a it was
an interesting, interesting transition.
Speaker 8 (01:01:24):
I mean like I never snapped the football in my
life like up to that point. So it took me
a year.
Speaker 7 (01:01:29):
Red shirted so like, but at the same time, I
think what helped me along the way was like all right,
like like what do their feet look like?
Speaker 8 (01:01:36):
You know, how did how did they move latterly? They
do move ladderly?
Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
Like how much power they can they gain within their rush?
Because I play a five technique you know, in high school,
you know, and I was a stand up so like
I knew like you know, some stuff, but obviously, like
at that level, like you could still kind of like
imagine with like slide protection everything that, but a small
to school like mine, it's kind of like tougher to
see it in more of.
Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
A college program.
Speaker 7 (01:01:58):
But but I just thought, like the the movements were
very little bit rot first in regards of like moving
like an old lineman, but in regards of like what
they saw in me to like like flip it to
see the field how you see it, and to you know,
you know, biomechanically with like the movement and like how
to get pat underpad with like you know, slants and
(01:02:20):
rocks and like you know, tight shades and everything like that.
Like it was cool just to like, you know, I
had a lot of great veterans and even like Michael Dieterer,
like he was the center at Wisconsin when I was
when I just got recruited there, so like I was
like a sponge. I was like, you know how to
do all this stuff. So but no, man, I mean
I think it definitely was an advantage. And you know,
obviously thank coach Rudolph and Coach Chris were making that switch.
Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
I bet all the burgundy gold Faithful, you're definitely happy
about you making that switch, Man, Tyler. With all our guests,
we have them. We actually the autograph our foot sure man,
hopefully you can have the find at spot there. Man,
we appreciate you coming on the show man, joining us
on the Players Club, and that'll do it for the

Happy New Year from the players Club. I'm London Fletcher,
joined my brother man side Town of Moss, Cowboy Killer
and we got Shot Spring aka Bluefoot. Okay, I can
need to get my aka Big Fletch. How about it,
Big flet fell us were winging in the new year
with the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yes, playoffs.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It sounds good, man, it sounds great, Hot Blue.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
How do you feel about that? Man?
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I am so excited for the organization, man, because it's
just being growing up in Washington, DC. I know how
important it is for this team, you know, and people
forget this is a new regime, you know, transition, new.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Quarterback, everything's new.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
You know that the community was hungry for a winning
and we you know, but you know, and like you
said on the road at Home Home, man, this is
a big deal for the city.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Man, Tyler, you were you at.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
The game, you did the pregame show, post game show,
you bc B Mitch, the energy, excitement land.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
What what are you feeling about this, man? How are
you feeling?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I mean, the one thing that I that I mentioned
on the post game show, it's a walk that we
take from the press from the from this week to
the hallway before we go out down the field, and
it seemed like it's the same walk we up in
the game and by the time we get down there
to watch the rest of the game, it's a game.
It's one of those gut riching games like oh, man,
(01:37):
like this team got back in it. But just to
say that, man, you know, our team find a way
to be resilient and go out there and get the
job done.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
So I'm astatic.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
I'm ecstatic, to say the least, I think, you know
the thing that I'm most I guess you could say
since we in the holiday season, joyful about just to
watch the fans man interacting with them, seeing how that
that's they don't leave this They don't leave this sim
once it's over. They still in the seats talking to
us while we getting ready to do our post game show.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
It's an unbelievable time right now.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
To be a Commander fan being up here in d C.
I remember our years when we had some of my
playoff runs. Yeah, and it was like no other than
right now. I'm having that same feeling, you know what.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
It just this this season feels different from a obviously
when we're in it as players, you know were those
are the two times I made the players. When I
played with you guys, we were always in a battle
to get to it that there is we had to
go on to two thousand and seven, had to go
on a four game winning street, twenty twelve time and
we had to go on a seven game winning street.
(02:38):
But this year, the way we've been able to go
about and the games, winning last minute games, you know,
to throw the hell Mary against the Bears. The game
went a touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Coming
into the stadium, cars lined down. It was it was
felt like a mile of cars, you know, coming into
(02:59):
the state, the parking lot, that the concourse, the excitement pregame,
and then once the game started, and then just being
able to be a part of it, obviously playing here,
but being a broadcaster now and just watching Electricity and
watching I said it like this, Superman don't wear a
cap anymore. We wear number five man. And the sky's
(03:21):
the limit with this team. And the reason why I
say the sky's the limits is because of Dan Quinn. Yes,
and Quinn has these guys believing that they can be anybody, anybody,
doesn't matter what the situation is. What the score is,
They're down ten points at halftime. What happens? Defense holds
the Falcons the seven points in the second half, and
(03:44):
we scored thirty in the second half in overtime.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I mean twenty three the second half in overtime. Man, Yeah,
I mean unbelievable time.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Like I said before, man, And you know, since we
on that bringing in the New York type thing, we're
gonna ring in the best plays of twenty twenty four.
So I'm gonna start this off asks you guys, man,
what's your favorite game this season?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
That's that's that's that's a good one. That's tough obvious
for you know, I can tell you from the show.
We all came in after the Cargo Games mind block.
I think for me, if I had to do it,
say it, it wasn't necessarily my favorite game, but it
just something was different when we won that Monday night
game and I just for some reason that Jaden throw
(04:28):
to Terry and Terry's energy on the sideline and you
telling me, hey man, you know that might have been
the I remember you saying that might have been the
catch in the combination that might have sparked Terry. You know,
because even and it just felt like that team felt
like they could win, and I was like, oh, we
might have something special. So for me, it might have
been the Cincinnati Monday Night game night Sunday night.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That was Monday night.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
It was Yeah, you're right, But if you think about
it up ut to that point, to your point about
the sparking the connection between Jayden and Terry, up.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Until that point they had made any connection.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
They had a couple in that ball game, I'm gonna
say this, man, it's a It's been a lot of
great games this year. Obviously the Chicago game, that Monday
night football game. I will say last weekend's game against
the Philadelphia Eagles, that for me was it wasn't a
pretty game by any stretch, to five turnovers, but to
(05:26):
be able to overcome that and the winner in the
matter that we won that ball game that right there,
and against who we want, the Eagles, the Egles, the
cream of the crop in our division right now, I had,
you know, hey, they were fighting competing for the number
one seed. But to be able to do that and
win that game, and there were so many moments that
(05:47):
that Jayden had, that the team had that you know,
we needed everybody to make plays, especially late in that
ball game. And and it happened, and you know, the
signature throw catch to a Jamie c crowded who Yeah, man,
the catch such, I'm gonna go with that. I'm gonna
go with that game. I guess the Eagles here.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Yeah, I think I'm with Blue on this one. I
think that Cincinnati game stood out to me. And yeah,
I was the one that came here. And I told you,
I say, man, the way you know I was it
got me crunk because just to see Terry feel the
way he felt. We had never shared that kind of
moment together. We have talked to him, you know, numerous
(06:27):
times walking through the building or anytime I had to
do an interview with him, but just the sense of
I got weight off my ship, you know, chest showers,
you name it, whatever you want to call it. And
what he said was, now he knows, you know what
I mean. His his quote was he know, now, Tyna,
he could throw that ball up to me. Yeah, come
down with it and trust me, man, I'm a ball catcher.
(06:49):
So when you have that kind of sense of you know,
I guess you can say clarity when it comes to
just I don't have to see him think no more.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I don't have to be.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
I don't have to, man, Bro, that's the worst thing
about being either leaving that huddle and question is he
gonna come my way this time? I know I'm in
the progression. Is he gonna I'm gonna get open? Is
he gonna look my way? And folks don't felt, they
don't understand it, you know what I mean? And Fred
talk about it all the time about just how that's
the reason why he shot away from the position as
a kid, because you have to depend on so much,
(07:19):
you know what I mean, from the line protection, then
the quarterback to get you the ball, and hell just
the damn offense alone, the scheme just to go your way,
you know what I mean. So when Terry's gave me
that quote and that hug and we shared that little moment,
I knew right then and there it was on.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
It was go shine for those guys. Yeah, Fred also
couldn't catch. That's why I shot pigs did he dropped?
We ain't gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
We ain't gonna get it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I couldn't pass that.
Speaker 4 (07:51):
To you.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
You would You were talking great about sounds like I'm
a wait but I'm not this.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Man, Okay, So since we chimed in on our best games,
or give me one of your best please, twenty four.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So many man, so many?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Hell hell noah, hell noah. It's when you you watching
it and Jaden is back there, He's running around and
I'm like, you gotta throw it, like is he gonna
get the ball off? And for him to throw that
football and the execution guys being exactly where they needed
(08:31):
to be.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
That showed the preparation that the coaching staff, the attention
to details, everybody being exactly where they needed to be,
and conversely the lack of attention to detail by the
Chicago Bears house they got it became chaotic for them
because of their lack of attention to detail. So that's
the play when you know, thirty forty years from now,
(08:54):
hopefully we're all still around when they say where were
you winning? I was in the broadcast when that happened,
you know, I'm saying I was like, when that play happened.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, that's got to be one of the greatest plays
we talked about in the history of this franchise. Is amazing.
For me, that was no doubt. I think that's for
all of us. But if we don't miss that field
going that the next Terry's catch against the all, oh yeah,
hell running down the sideline. Man, I was like, could
(09:24):
we possibly had the greater? Like like that was an
unbelievable I just like, hey, man, you're right, superman, he's
a magician, superman, whatever you want to call him. But
that play against the Cowboys, in that moment after we
all and just you know Terry, just.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I mean, that would have that would have been a
kind of iconic play in the Washington Dallas. But now
it's it's this goes into infamy because nobody lost the game.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
But I remember seeing that play and I'm just like,
are we serious right now? Could this be possibly happening again?
I just thought that was this unbelievable play.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Man.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
It's hard to pick choose from, man, I think there's
so many different plays.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So I'm gonna go against the Green.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I'm gonna pick something that probably didn't stand out to everybody,
but it stood out to me.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
The interception by Dante Fowler.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Oh yeah, interception just to run just everything about it,
just I think that was like a spark for him
really to kind of like you know, do some of
the things he did. I think right now, if you
look back at this last game, he's up to ten
and a half sacks now.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And so when you look at.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
The whole transition of after that moment of having that interception.
We had him here on the show one day time
and he said, that's that's the moment that he been
thinking about all his life. He'd been like, he's a
guy that grew up playing, you know, the tailback position.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
His dad was a tailback. He's a floor to the boy.
So he said, you know, that's how we do it,
and we get that ball in hand, we get missed
out though, to do len Cross, just to.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Know that a defensive guy have that kind of you
know ability, and not even just the ability he's.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Been waiting for. He's been waiting to bring it out.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
So I had to give him his flowers man and
say that was one of my favorite and probably best
players in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
It's it's been so when you to think about that,
there's been seasons where we would struggle to come up
with like favorite play right, favorite games.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
The fact we're sitting here currently eleven eleven eleven.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Wins On the season, and I mean even in the losses,
you could like you picked the Terry play. There's been
moments in plays in every single game where you're like, man,
that's a highlight type of play. That's a memorable player
of the season. And you talk about the game against
the Carolina Panthers, I mean there was you know, so
many other players in games against against teams.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Who was just like we can actually pick up like
every week and say you make.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
A play that.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
The Baltimore Ravens game where where Jada hit Tarry on
the on the fourth down play the perfect ball, Like,
there's so many memories to pray the game against the
Giants in New York. Another type of play like that
the d Abby Brown big ball for what fifty yards
against the Egos you know last week.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So there, yeah, how you with that play? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (12:22):
So many of them, man, And I think that's one
of the things that you get from having the season
that we have. You know, it's a lot of that's
that's half of the reason why we're where we're at,
because you have guys going out there and putting I
guess you could say they imprint on the game to
make it special. Speaking of we already talked about, you know,
favorite games plays, What are some of your favorite moments
(12:42):
this year with the fans? Man, Rather that's from rallies
or from from the trips that we take money. You know,
we can't to see them on the road or just
even at our you know, our home or you know,
interacting with them.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
And I'll say this the difference in so I'm traveling,
I'm on the plane a couple of times week and
a lot of times I'll have on some Washington Commander's
gear and they're response by not just our fans, but
people that might not even be fans of our team.
Like man, y'all got a good team, you know, the compliments,
But then when you when we go to we're in
(13:16):
New Orleans, in Tampa Bay, and the amount of support
I wasn't in Arizona, but you were out there. Just
the amount of support and the appreciation that they have
for us, but we also have for them, like we
appreciate y'all coming out supporting us, spending your money, your time,
your efforts, your resources to support this football team. I'm
(13:37):
always and I know I'm sure you guys feel the
same way. I'm always cognizant of letting them know, like
we appreciate you guys. Those guys on that field need
you guys, and they need that support.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
It means a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
And for me growing up in the area, I just know,
like all my boys from high school, they man, I
ain't going to the game no more days, pointed, people
haven't been for so many years, for so many years.
And then just you know these guys is like, man like,
just like oftentimes we forget our performance on I feel
(14:15):
and that that the looking forward to seeing Sunday what
it does forever like this the person's life like man,
like you know what I had a week, but my
team exactly right, or you know, or like you know
how excited people are looking forward to you know, the
(14:35):
conversations around and Jade is bro we got something, you know,
and it's just and and and this and this and
this hard and again I just hard. It brings the
community because I'll be seeing people out man, and it's like, man,
we loved you'all, who loved you when you playing and
stuff for man, these boys playing some football, you know,
and and and before I used to walk around and
(14:58):
he'd be like, man, I know who he is. I
don't even know how the guys on this team. Now,
we got guys making these memories. You're talking about become
a household names Frankie, yeah, you know, yeah, Martin, you know,
Mike sinisterial. So like like they and they started calling
(15:19):
them by their nicknames and so they can becoming familiar
with it.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
So I love saying that. How about this, And I
know we're talking about fans. What about Jeremy Reeves with
the proposal that, yeah, hats off to how did so
you gotta how do you execute that? So the game
is over? You gotta get your lady on the field.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
I guess he had it all playing out and we win.
This thing must be had someone.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Bring her, But you gotta bring her down to the right.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
In the family section. That's that's closing it and back
of that end. So come on, come on.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
They had someone already like, hey, if everything goes, that's
playing and get them. And I'm not even sure if
you say that's playing. And he probably had on his mind,
so I'm the ring. Yeah he had the ring, so
so I'm not sure, but you know that was it
was you know, it was beyond me because I was
I'm like, oh, that's dope, bro, you know what I mean,
And just knowing reeves the way he's going to smacking
guys in the head, you know, playing the way he plays.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Man, just to see the little softer side of him.
You like a soft dude. You got that soft side
you're saying it was in the group man. Listen. I
can see him with the dance to dance y'all all
(16:38):
these feels that y'all want to you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Now, But since we're talking about the fans, I want
to mention one of the things that that that I
that I enjoy. You know, we talked about being on
the road. We talked about some of the things that
you know, Shawn experience. I think just you know, I'm
always have a couple of people with me at the games,
and you know, we played the game, so.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
We you know, we we.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Accepted because you understand and come of the territory, so
we understand the fans is going to always recognize, especially
when you was a guy that went out there and
did your job.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
At a high caliber.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
I enjoy the love that my family or friends feel
from having that experience. They don't know how it is
to be in our shoes. They never walked them out
when it comes to what we had to be as
professional athletes or football players. And the joy they get
out of seeing the fans interact with me.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
You know.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
You know, one of my closest friends his cousins up
here and you know, and we kind of showing them
something different. You know, you got to get a guy
from out of Miami and say, man, look this is
a little better way of living up here. Yeah, you
could do the same thing down there if you want
to go find a job. There's plenty of them out here.
When he gets a chance to walk in that stage,
you would think he played because now he can just
walk around. They know him first name and everything, and
(17:51):
he likes up. Bro. He's like, man, I say, yeah, bro,
but this is you know what I mean, this is
the world we in And it's not just because you
play ball. You have to be, you know, handling your
business out there because them fans will show you and
tell you get out of there, you know what I mean.
But just the joy every week, every time you get
(18:12):
a chance to go to the home game.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Man, he's loving it.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
So I enjoyed the fact that he gets the chance
to you know, feel like he feels off of just
some of the things that I went out there and
sweated and you know, did everything else for it. But
that's the joy you get from the fans. That's what
the fans give back to us. And like think about it,
we ain't play play play ball. I ain't playing ten years.
You know, I'm pretty sure you guys a little longer.
But that goes to show you, man, these guys are
(18:37):
gonna always remember you, especially if you went out there
in your business.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
Impact man, impact that that you can have on on
this uh, this area the d MV.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Man.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
The fact you can be in Maryland being and you know,
Virginia being Heck, I was in the Bahamas last week.
It was fans down there in the Bahamas.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
You know we always you know, growing up we were
we were the big dogs in there since Baltimore.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
But winning they're the big dogs. And we ain't no
little bro. We ain't a step bre step brother no more.
You know, it feels good to know that to day
they got a team and here in the d n V.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Last but not least, give me, give me a moment
or memory this year as a broadcaster.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Man like doing this show or no matter anything you
couldn't get about you you know, moment we got.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
We had some fun times, shure man, just the cracking
of the jokes and the you know, the reminiscent of
the stuff that happened when we play obviously with the
Brown came to the video camera in the in the.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Boothy' getting something. Yeah, actually recognization.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Right now and I'm just being me like what plays happened?
He caught it right and they're like, man, you're about
to knock brow them out the boot. I'm told Brad
we got to get.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
His way to the man. I'm just.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Right now, New Year, somebody.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
So for me, it's the hell Noah that play and
then the touchdown the game winner against the Eagles.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Those those those two are both the same.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
For me this year when we having guys on the show,
it was one thing like that kind of got me
to give me goosebumps every time I think about it.
How many guys that we had come on show talk
about brotherhood, how many guys that we come in here
was just talking about like I want to play for him.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I love playing for d Q. Jane's leader. Like so.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
It's always interesting. He learned, like we learned something about
somebody every week. Dante Floyd, he always wanted to be
running back. We had, we learned about coins, oh yeah,
people having babies before, you know. And for me, it
was about this really having the chance to see like
(20:57):
these guys genuinely love being in this organization playing for
coach Quinn, excited about it, you know, just you know,
Frankie was cool, little Mike, you know, you know it
just cause all the guys were great. So I just
love that they got a little bit of that. That
locker room Phil came back when we had those guys
on the show, so that was big.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You know.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
I'm always get a thrill out of having the guys
on the Players Club because you get a chance to
one meet the.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Guy, you know what I mean, and know I'm outside
of being a player too.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
They get a chance to know who we are because
half of the time those guys hear our name, see us,
they really don't know, you know what I mean. And
that's when I feel like we get that we kind
of shut that bond of knowing that we asked players bro.
I mean, I know you might see us on the
other side, don't think that we're sitting over there and
ready to write something bad.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
So we want to we want to pick you up,
you know what I mean. I want to pick you
up and talk great about you.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
But when once they leave his room, the interaction you
get after which now when you see him at the stadium.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
They was, what's up, Tenner? You know what I mean?
Because now you broke that barrier.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
It broke that wall, and so that's what I get
to kick out of and know when I got your back,
bro talk great.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
About you, know what I mean, We're gonna hype you.
You to your point.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
So last weekend, last after the Philly game, I finally
met I met o Z for the first time. A
lot of these kids and people like, how's that correct?
You know, we're a lot of times we're just passing by,
you know, their their meetings, they're doing their thing, they're
on the practice field. We're around, but we don't get
a chance to actually a lot of times to just
(22:28):
have an introduction stuff like that. So I finally introduced
myself because we were about to interview him and I
was like, yeah, hey, what's up man, I'm London And
so he's like, nice to meet you, and so about
five seconds pancy he's like.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
He's like, oh, man, like, yeah, think about as players, man,
you know, I remember Doc Walker and and be Mit
and all those guys, and we knew a little more
about missus playing when I got in the he still
Doc was a guy that he was doing a lot
of the broadcast up and I would see him in
the building, but he was Doctor is a different kind
(23:07):
of dude.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
He gonna go out his way and conversation with you.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
And so when you have that relationship, especially Doc just
being an offensive guy and you know, well spoken, always.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Got some shout out to the d shout out to
the d OZ actually got me.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
You know, he was the first I did my first show,
you know, after you know, I retired with Doc NBC.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah. Doc scared the crap out of me. Man, you know,
and I'm like I got to deliver like that. I mean,
but it was a fun experience.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
But just going back seeing how that that moment was
for me as a player, just imagine how the players
look at us, some of them kind of timid to
even say hi, you know what I mean. You got
other guys who've been around here long enough to know
us a little personally. So it's it's always a joy
man just to get him on the players club. But
this is where they get to come and that.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Like them.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Man, you played this game and we just now, you know,
having a having a blast of being able to share
our memories and their their their funnest memories, you know,
right now, this far in their career.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
All right, fellas, it's that time of the show man.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
You know, I got to break em out. No doubt
I didn't get that. I didn't get that ice for Christmas.
I give a shout out to the respect we got.
We all got a way of respect.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Shut that out.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Man.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
I saw that, I saw this.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I gotta I had to cop this one.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
No doubt this would be a nice get for all
the former legacy players.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
You know, I see big fletch. I might have walked
up and play, man, what size is that? Want into big?
You better want to say that.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I hope you mean loved it to not make clutch,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
I'm a second.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
Don't make it.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Tell I heard I heard the old fleshes and take
people lunch. That was bad. Bam. You really don't want
to be down man. I don't like to memory back.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Yeah, you like, damn, man, I can't even So I'm
talking to my kids the other day. I don't know
how we got to talk about punching somebody or what else. Like,
I think I was telling Steve like I want to
give you a knuckle sandwich or whatever something so and
Brooke was like.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Uh, this is my baby girl. She's like, you ain't
never hit Nobody liked what she's like.
Speaker 3 (25:53):
I was like, yes, she's like, why would you punch somebody?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I said, you know what, I would let her. I
would leave it there.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
I said, Brook, you right, we don't do that, all right, man, listen,
let's it's tied to hand out these dubs of the week. Man,
gotta gotta recap the game against the Falcons.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Tyah, who you get up? Who are gonna get a
dub too? Or dubs too?
Speaker 4 (26:17):
You know, it's kind of like one of those situations
where we all probably gonna say.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
The one guy.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
So I'm not even gonna mention him. I'm I'm gonna
stay in my room, the wide receiver room. I'm gonna
say the kids and give him, give him his flowers.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Man. I think you know we talked about the last
ball that he missed that. I know he wants back.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
I know right now he's probably thinking about that, eating breakfast,
getting ready to come over here just to watch film
and stuff. But it's one of them situations, man, where
Terry didn't have his day, his normal, his usual day, and.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Somebody had to step up.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
And you know when you have a receiver and know
ah brown down, we're looking for that next threat, looking
for that next weapon on the offense, especially on the
house side, and the.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Kids had a day.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Not only did he have a day, he actually had
a day against his old team. The Eagles had to touchdown.
Then he dubbed up and said, hey, you know what
I was. I was a Falcon one time too with
the d Q and he showed up. Man, he would
have had two touchdowns again. It would have been back
to back games, this guy having two touchdowns if it
wasn't for that that that late penalty or from Cosby
(27:15):
on the other one.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
So which question? Which? Which is very question? You know
we're gonna talk about foot loggers, about those reps.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
You know, we gotta get them their flowers for it
seemed like to be lopsided all the time when it
comes to giving us all, you know, all.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
The flags or whatever, but stick to the strip.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
The kids get the dub or the week I think
he went out there and played phenomenal or he's definitely
one of those guys that you can honestly say, man,
when we need him to make a play man, he's
right there do it doing so.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
I'm full of tan on you because you know Tanner.
Sometimes he'll be like, I'm gonna go with the coach,
I'm gonna go with the organization.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Two.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
It is so easy to say we got we made
the right decision, but it's so easy to say they
made the wrong decision. I think this organize sationation picking Jaden,
the guys they brought in like o Z and the
rookies and Louisvu. Free agency. We talked all year about
the free agencies and the impacts they've made for us.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
To win four wins last year, yeah, yeah, yeah, to win.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
A playoff birth at home is still possibility for the
sixth seed at home in front of our home crowd,
and give what we've been talking about back to the community.
You got to give a shout out to the ownership
leadership for I mean dan Quinn, I mean just everything
seems to be going right, and I just want to
(28:42):
give a shout out and say thank you man, because
you know that's big, bro. It is really big, and
we talked about it. So my double the week is
to getting into the playoffs. Since how long has it
been since we've been in the playoffs? Twenty twenty, we
came long since were eleven wins.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
It's a long time. That was the last time we
had a level and that's hard to be one of
the better teams that they had.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Ever ever, So now we're talking about an amazing team
that gave a special moments, bought the fan base back,
the community excited about it, and we got a playoff firs.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
I got two dubs that I'm gonna give out, and
the first one pull a Tana. I'm gonna give it
to the coaching staff. And the reason I give it
to the coaching staff is because coaches. You people want
to know why these coaches get paid all that type
of money you get paid through the week. Obviously come
up with a game plan preparing your team, but you
(29:42):
really earn your money with the end game adjustments that
you make, and especially the adjustments you can make at
the at halftime, and you look at that game in
the first half, we down ten points. Was not playing
good football. The Falcons had rushed for over one hundred
yards offensively, was it was. It was just off kilter,
(30:03):
a bunch of penalties, couldn't get the run game going.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Nothing was going our way.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
The adjustments that they made at halftime, when you come
out and you see we held held the Falcons to
seven points, we scored twenty three points. Our run game
got going end up with I think two hundred and
sixteen yards rushing.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
The adjustments we made to like you said, clock before
clock management.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
The adjustments they made to that that that package that
the Falcons was coming with. They were showing a look
one way, bringing a blitzer off the off the other side,
and we were having a lot of trouble with that.
The adjustment, it was like three different adjustments that we made,
maybe even four different adjustments we made to that, and
that was the difference in us winning that game. And
then I'm gonna give my second dubs to two guys
(30:51):
in the secondary.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
The two safeties, yes.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Kwhan Martin and Jeremy Chene had to pick had another
big hit that that dislodged a ball. And also there
was a play by Jeremy Sheen on the sideline. Yep,
you know, broke up a pass on a big third down,
so gotta get it. And he had a big hit
down the middle as well, So shout out to those
guys as well. You're listening to the Players Club presented

Speaker 1 (33:18):
So this is how we started drive Time.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
Did you know the last the other night game against
you know the Tempa I mean Atlanta Falcons. You know
the overtime win. The last time we had overtime win
was against That's Cowboys twenty fourteen. I didn't even I
don't remember, but you might remember, you, my player, Well,
(33:40):
guess what we got them coming up this week?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Yes, sir, so give me some of your memories.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
I know we have some memories about Cowboys, but some
of y'all fundest memories of playing up against those boys.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Man, I tell you what, it's just the physicality of
the games.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Then I've been I played for three different organizations, Rams
Bill and obviously here and every team.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Every team has their kind of rivalry game. Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
That rivalry definitely hit different and felt like it was
truly the Dallas Week.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
That when you walk.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Around town, when you're out the fans, hey it's Dallas
Week and all the excitement that the intensity of the game.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
I just remember how many the physicality of those games, man,
like you were recovering.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
It took you three or four days to recover from
them games. That's that's my memories of going against Cobhich.
Obviously the wins over overweight the losses, and especially when
we won games in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's always nice. Now, we always talked
about your game. That was I was part of that experience.
But I'm gonna take it back a little further. But
this is why I knew Dallas Week was serious. My
dad when my dad played for the Cowboys, they came
and played at rfk H And I don't of if
y'all remember that if you're a football fans, But that's
(35:02):
when they got into I was sitting in the stands.
I never forget. They got into a big brawl in
a corner. You talking about punching people. Man, they were
scrapping back and forth, back and forth. So I knew
right then, theres little boy watching that game.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
These teams really don't like E.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
So so with that in the back of my mind
growing up, I knew the Dallas was a big robbery.
But that's a fond murmur in my mind. Like, man,
these teams they look Drew Pearson, Tony Dorris, said my dad,
all of them right, everybody in the you know ed
two tall Jones against you know, Daryl and all those
guys was out there the Hogs. So that was my
(35:38):
finest one of my memories, early memories. But you know,
just it's tooth for me personally, man, And you know
I had a chance to witness it. But my fonest memory,
Dallas had to be that Monday night to testdown and
the reason why I was so the reason why it
was so big to me, the reason why I was
so big to me because I remember Tanner's facing, how
pisty was.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
He wouldn't get like he was so upset, but I
was like thirty eight. That's how you know I thirty eight.
That's my memory, man. So well, you know, the rivalry was.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Kind of sprung upon me, like you know, I like,
think about it. You played for three different organizations. I
played for two.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
When I was in New York. You know, you had
your division opponents.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
You know I was you know, I was a Jet,
So we had the Dolphins, New England, the Bills, and Naptown,
those Coats. The coach got out our division. So it
was just the other guys that I that I mentioned.
New England was the Dallas game for me when I
was a Jet. Every time I played in New England,
it seemed like I just went and did something special
and not to know that that was gonna be the
(36:42):
team that's winning the Super Bowl every year while I
was over there. And then I come here and it's
the second game of the year my first year. So
I had played Dallas once before as a Jet and
didn't really know how much this game meant to the city.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
I knew it was a rivalry.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
I just didn't know how much it meant, you know,
because you know you got the Giants, then you have
who else we have we had to lose, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
So I didn't know which one, you know, carry more weight.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
So I'm just like, hey, this is the second game
of the Season's the visional game. I'm going up there
with no intentions of just I'm playing football, you know, I'm.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
It ain't big, it's not the biggest game.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
It's Monday night. But I just haven't even killed about
me when it comes to those games. I'm not trying
to get too high because I know that can shadow
all your things that you're trying to prepare to do.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
So to see what happened, you know.
Speaker 4 (37:31):
And like I say, people would tell me about that moment,
like as if it happened yesterday, and I'm sitting there
with a straight face. They're like, you don't remember it. Yeah,
I remember I did it, you know. But they were like,
why you don't feel so, And I'm like, no, I do.
I love every moment about it. It's just to know
that it happened so late in the game and it
wasn't probably my best get right, So to have that
(37:54):
moment in that game then.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
To know that, okay, it's on now. You know, from
now on, I have to have the kind of moment
these guys, and it's hard to do. It's hard to do.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
But it seemed like every time I got a chance
to play these guys, even if I wasn't having that
kind of a season, the coaching staff will come to
me like, Tannah, you ready to like ready, last, last.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
Everywhere?
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Man, I got as you were talking, and I just
got the remolition. That's why I'm over here smiling. And
I got to thinking about the twenty twelve when it
take off of the division. That that Sunday night football game, man,
and they flexed our game, flex it that made it
the That was the last game of the regular season
twenty twelve for the Crown. Whoever won that game was
(38:50):
going to be NFC East champions and make the playoffs. Say, man,
I can just it feels like yesterday. I remember how
I felt that morning when I woke up up the
drive to the to the stadium, I was I was
locked in sleep.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Man, as your sleep when you're.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Gonna take I took a hand. I'm asleep. Yeah, that
was That's part of the routine. But just I was
there was a Tessie. You guys probably remember just I
was very quiet game they I didn't want you talking to.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
But it was even a deeper level anyway. Nice.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
But just I just felt even more ramped up and
amped up in that game. I can just remember, like
we're about to bust a time. It's go timing. And
the way we beat them, we had we put in
this defensive game plan. Man, they had no answer to
this blitz package that we were. We were coming up
(39:54):
against them. Well, I mean it was we had Romo
shot they could they could deal with us and and
have a.
Speaker 1 (40:02):
Running back. Uh what can the alpha alpha boards from
running for two hundred dudes?
Speaker 6 (40:08):
Man?
Speaker 4 (40:08):
Thinking about it though, Man, just think about it, And
I don't want to get too long winning on just
our memories. Just think about some of the moments of
you know, the past that made this game special. You
know what I mean, the thighs men's, the emms smith moments,
the you know ape men like what in one of
those give me a memory of you being I don't know,
you know, a kid or just I told you the
(40:31):
one was the big fact that I got.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I got a few Daryl Green running down Tony door Set.
Obviously he was my godfather, was my dad, best friend.
But you know Tony door Set was like, ain't nobody
Once he broke out boom me a sideline, it was over.
You know you're not catching him at that time, right,
So darl running him down showed the effort in the
show why he was a fast man NFL.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
That was that was That was crazy. And another moment
I remember just when the Hogs.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I don't know, I don't know what year it is,
but you always see it back on NFL films and
Coach Giff talked about it a couple of times when
when the whole team jumped up and dressed up a
military fatima. Yeah, into the Cowboys stadium. You see it
every now and then. But I was just like man,
I would have loved been a part of that, like
you walking in were ready for war babies. So those
are the two memories, like man, that the old old
(41:24):
legacy dude.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
Right yeah, speaking of Doc Walker, I was.
Speaker 3 (41:28):
Doc has told the story several times where it was
a game and things laid against the Cowboys and they
Joe Gibbs would call one play and the quarterback in
the offensive lineman. I think it might have been Russ
Grimm or somebody like, uh no, we're running. We want
to run this power this power play, this collar trail,
whatever the play was, and like they kept running it
(41:50):
over and over and over again, and they were literally
tell him. I think it might have been big Deef tackle.
Was it Randy White for.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
The moss, you know right?
Speaker 3 (41:59):
They kept telling him like were about to run this
this play, like you better strip up, and they just
part of that brig Oa just I mean, just to
hear that story. And I went when he told the story,
I actually went back and looked at the game footage.
Oh man, you talk about a guy. I think it
beauty the way they ran that football.
Speaker 1 (42:20):
Oh wow.
Speaker 4 (42:21):
You know, you know, speaking of those memories, man, I
gotta I gotta admit, it's funny how we get motivated
from off of different things we see. And that's one
of the things that's special about this game. That's why
I've always tell my son, like, Bro, the only way
you're gonna be able to have an effect on.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
This game and and and do what you sought out
to do with this game is watch it. You know
what I mean?
Speaker 4 (42:43):
You know I've learned more from watching others playball than
me sitting up there looking at x's and O.
Speaker 1 (42:49):
Honestly, you know some of the things I do in
the game. It comes you know, people like, man, how
did you do that?
Speaker 4 (42:55):
Well, it's instincts one, but also you saw a guy
in that moment or in that situation from watching him
and you knew that.
Speaker 1 (43:01):
Okay, I swear to God to you, Bro. I run
routes and I.
Speaker 4 (43:05):
Remember watching other folks run these routes, and I remember
the coverage in my head of how when that guy
caught that corner, if it was covered too, that safety
was there. If he turned up, he's gonna get smacked.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
So I was catching it. I would settle at like
I'm an turn up and then turn back in.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Stuff like that, and you think it's subtle, it's in
your game, but you learn how to kind of you know,
maneuver and be special and how those moments because of
what you saw. Thinking back, we can talk about the
memories of watching eight men of them, you know, going
up against his team. My funnest memory, man, was when
I was in college and Randy Moss's first year going
(43:43):
against the Cowboys and know the Cowboys was on the
clock and they didn't get it to I mean he
was still there and they didn't go out to him.
The man had three catches, three touchdowns, almost two and
that moment there, it lives in the back in my head.
And I swear to you not only because it was Moss,
but just knowing that was my first NFL jersey.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Too crazy. It's crazy Randy Mass jersey, my first NFL
goot out A big I was a big Jed Rice.
Speaker 7 (44:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
We ain't had no money for no Jed rights jersey
back then. Check it. In college. It was a gift.
It was a man.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
You know.
Speaker 1 (44:20):
We had crazy fans and this girl on my floor
in my dorm room.
Speaker 4 (44:25):
Her dad was a big Heard fan and they gifted
me a really Moss authentic jersey from uh.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
No shout out to Minaments giving n.
Speaker 6 (44:42):
You know we do.
Speaker 1 (44:43):
We just tr to set the tone. Man, It's time
to set the tone.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Brought to you by Johnson Kendall Johnson, the official insurance
broker at Risk Management Partner of the Washington Commanders, Where
our passion is your protection. We gotta set the tone.
We got to talk about this. It's a second they
mean to get to the Cowboys. Yeah, first meet did
go our way. It's opportunity for us to secure the
(45:08):
sixth seed, win twelve games in the season, twelve to five,
that'd be great. What adjustments do we need to make
from that first game to this game against the Cowboys Blue?
Speaker 1 (45:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:21):
Well, well, first of all, if you would have asked
anybody at the beginning of the season who and you
just put the records up with both teams, they would
have said Cowboys were DAC and those guys have the record,
and we would have been the team that's you know,
looking at you know, a top five pick. One of
the things I think when you know and coach Quinn
(45:42):
talked about it each week, we stand level. Yeah, Dallas
is Dallas regardless, and we've been talking about it. Of
the records, Dallas is gonna come to play us tough.
They could be ourt CDM. They get Doc is outy
at Cooper Rush, they still have Donald, they still got Bland,
this actor. Got some guys that can play, but they're
not they don't have their team, but I guarantee you
(46:05):
that they've been told by those fans and Jerry Jones
it means something. So one of the one of the
things I think as a team we have to come
in and understand that is that's gonna play hard. They're
gonna play physical, They're gonna try to spoil our season
because that's the only thing they got is to beat us. Yea,
So we have to go down there and whoop them
(46:28):
like we're supposed to whoop those guys. But we also
got to understand we're gonna have to execute I think
our game plan and where you said earlier in the
show Red, we make all adjustments at this point. It's
a mindset how bad we want to get to twelve wins.
I think it's an attitude thing this week, going down
there and understand if those guys ain't been in the organization,
it's important DUTs came up here and beat us to
(46:51):
meant something.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:52):
I think also we kind of gave them a kind
of we allowed Cooper or Rushed to get in the rhythm.
I think it was a lot of layups we gave them.
Those guys basically ran hitches on us and just moved
the ball up and down the field. They took what
we allowed them to do and then they ran the
ball well. So we can kind of combat a little
bit on how we do things up front, you know,
slow down that running game. But at the same time,
(47:14):
even if we don't, because we've seen our team allow
teams to run on us and we still come away
with a victory because we did enough when it came
down to crunch time in the red zone to stop
them and force them to a field. He can't give
them no layups on our side, especially with Ceedee Lamb out.
You know, we literally was giving them five to seven
yards and they literally took advantage of a poop hitch
out the hitch. They moved themself up and down the field,
(47:37):
just throw throwing the ball. Right now, I think Rush
is one of those guys that we know he can
get rid of the football. So you gotta bring something
to him. You gotta give him something a little funky
enough to make him ritle a little bit, take a
little bit from what the Eagles did to him.
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I mean, that was a example.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
It's crazy that they still you know, was in rhythm
earlier in that game without Ceedee Lamb in the passing game,
but once it got a hand and guy that you
know what I mean, you.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
Just have to do what we need to do.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
And like I said before, it's not about them, And
Dan said the best, you know, when we get into
these games about us.
Speaker 1 (48:08):
What do we need to do to go out there
and get the job done?
Speaker 4 (48:11):
And Uh, that's one of the reasons why I love
this staff, because I've rest assured that this man, these
guys are gonna be prepared. You know, even when we
saw this past weekend. Man like I was scratching my
head a lot that first half, but I knew in
the second half things was gonna change. Defensively, We're gonna
find a way to stop these guys. Offensively, somebody gonna
step up and make a play, and that's just how
(48:33):
it is. So I think those guys will have a
good enough game plan to go on there and try
to get a dub against them.
Speaker 1 (48:39):
I think the biggest adjustments need to be made in
the trenches.
Speaker 3 (48:42):
We lost the trench warfare on both sides of the
ball against the Cowboys that game. And you know, we
weren't We were not what we needed to be, especially
in the run game. I thought Dallas they came in
there with the mindset they weren't gonna let us run
the football against them.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
The defensive line. Really they dictated the terms of the agreement.
In that ball game. They were able. You mentioned them
being able to run the football. Coming into that game.
They hadn't been running the ball that well, but you know,
they had.
Speaker 3 (49:12):
Some success running the football. So it has to be
a situation where it's gonna be a hard watch from
the old line and d line. And you know, you
got to watch that game and you like, dag, I
can't believe you know this way we played against these guys.
But it also is a motivated fact, Yeah, because you
get an opportunity to right or wrong, like, okay, they
(49:32):
got the best of me that first time, let me
go out and uh, a little bit of motivation on
Dallas defense had to do with those guys were coached
by coach Quinn. Oh yeah, absolutely, like that what that
meant to them? You know, I'm sure and even you
know Mike Zimmer and so as the defensive coordinator. Hey,
they you know the definity that those players have for
(49:53):
Dad Quinn like, hey, I'm coming to him the new guy.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
I want to show. I want to make sure make
them look like boys fences we can ball too.
Speaker 3 (50:01):
So there was definitely some motivation in one two to
play extremely well obviously against dan Quim, but we're trying
to This game has to mean more for us because
we're playing for something.
Speaker 1 (50:15):
We're playing for the sixth seed. The twelfth was.
Speaker 3 (50:18):
When we win that twelve win, that'd be great, but
we're still trying to solidify being the sixth seed and
sixth seed in the in the playoffs. So d Q
is gonna have those guys ready to play. I don't
I don't question that at all. You can't allow Dallas
to kind of hang around this game. A lot of
those guys are already packed up. You want to give
(50:39):
them a reason to maybe like, all right, you know what,
it's just one year. Let me let me go ahead
and get ready to hit the crank that come vehicle
up bout of here.
Speaker 1 (50:49):
That's that's uh, that's it. Man. It was a great
kind of recap of this uh this season in preview.

over here?
Speaker 8 (52:43):
Man, It's been a great experience.
Speaker 7 (52:44):
I mean obviously like coming from UH having a lot
of guys in free agency, like coming to this organization,
the revamp of the organization.
Speaker 8 (52:53):
To new ownership, new gym, new coach.
Speaker 7 (52:56):
But no, it's been it's been great to build that
brotherhood and you know, obviously known DQ for the past
three years, you know where we've been at in Dallas.
But you know, just the overall experience has been so
cool to just see us leveling up each and every week,
coming from OTAs to camp to the season and just
progressively having that growth mindset and that championship standard that
(53:19):
DQ always talks about.
Speaker 4 (53:20):
Speaking of that experience, man, you know, it's kind of hard,
should I say, when you have so many new guys
on an office in line to kind of.
Speaker 1 (53:27):
Jailed out the game like that? What has you know,
a tribute to you guys.
Speaker 4 (53:31):
Being able to jail and be it, you know, playing
the way you guys have been playing this year.
Speaker 7 (53:35):
Yeah, I mean I think it's just attitude and like
the work ethic I think coming from OTAs and getting
no guys and everything like that out of free agency,
but just getting the no guys like personally, I mean
like going out to eat, you know, having dinners you
know with you know the wives or girlfriends or whatever,
and just kind of just yelling and creating chemistry off
the field.
Speaker 8 (53:54):
I think it's just almost as important doing it in
the building.
Speaker 7 (53:57):
Yeah, So you know, we had that experience, you know,
more SOHW and OTAs and even a little bit through
camping during the season.
Speaker 8 (54:03):
Then it's just you know, you're in.
Speaker 7 (54:04):
The building all the time together, so that's like that's
the main time you're you know, you're you know getting
the fits and how does it, how does this block
and what footwork you're going to do and everything like that.
So a lot of a lot of stuff to do
with chemistry. And you know, I thought our our OLNE
coach Bobby Johnson does a great job with us and
and bringing us together and you know, making sure we
get what we.
Speaker 8 (54:23):
Need and to be successful. And I think, you know,
it's obviously showing.
Speaker 7 (54:26):
But how we talked about before, like that growth mindset
of never getting good placement and always taking it a
step further. So but no, man, it's it's been great
just with the guys and and great great great room,
great in the online.
Speaker 8 (54:37):
Man.
Speaker 3 (54:38):
As we look at this free agency draft class and
just free agents coming to sign throughout the league, you
were one of the what I feel one of the
most underrated sign is if you look at what you've
been able to do, you've been probably one of the
best free agent signs and throughout the National Football League.
One of the things that you talked about coming over
(54:58):
here is you wanted to be a leader. How has
that role and how have you embraced that leadership role
coming over here and being a part of this.
Speaker 8 (55:06):
I think I think, you know, I appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (55:08):
I think the biggest thing is the new experience because obviously,
like I'm moving to a new place and a new environment,
but also knowing like what the culture was at and
you know how the organization was and you know, playing
Jonathan Allen and Durron Payne for all those years, and
but just to see it in their eyes and to
have that you know, feeling of like like that winning
(55:30):
you know, trend in that like direction and having them
of what they've wanted and needed for like those years
and you know, just to get right behind them, man
and just get right behind him and wanting to have them,
you know, what they've built to, you know, over the
years as well. And to be a part of that
man like that was like the embracing role of like,
(55:52):
you know, whatever I can give, I'm gonna give it,
you know, and you know, I think you know, and
OTAs we had a great off season where we got
to work with Navy Seals and we got to do
all these activities and different groups and everything and and
create our own standard of our team. And I thought
that was the biggest thing about you know, just the
(56:13):
growth and the progress we had. I thought that was
like the biggest week to just kind of evolve together
as one. And you know, culture is not an easy
thing and that takes a lot of commitment, and it
takes a lot of guys and a lot of sometimes
hard conversations and everything, and and to be a leader,
and you know, you got to put yourself out there too.
So I mean, I thought the biggest part was just
(56:36):
you know, having those conversations and and having whatever we
need to be successful, like whatever that is, just to
embrace it and grind and just be gritty.
Speaker 4 (56:45):
You know. Yeah, yeah, I love that hearing you talk
about being a leader. And I think, you know, especially
when when you when you fit in that role and
you have a you got a young guy in the
office of line, you know, rookie Coleman. How's it been
for you guys bringing him up to and you know
what's been like for him just to see him out
there doing his thing and you know, playing playing alongside
of you guys.
Speaker 7 (57:05):
Yeah, man, he's been a great rookie. And I I
just go back to my experience too of like you know,
how I had h you know, I had Zach Martin
and Tyron Smith, you know, take me in when I
was a rookie and how they led me and and
you know, give off that experience as well and what
I could have used or whatever. And and and that's everyone, Sam,
Nick Algready, Andrew Wiley, Lucas Lucas, everyone, everyone that's a
veteran our room. And we have a good amount of
(57:26):
guys that are above their fifth years. So like, yeah,
you know, we all you know, brought him in man
like hey, man, like you know, check this out or whatever,
cheating ropes and everything, you know, And but man, he's
been he's been just leveling up each and every week.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
Man, good another rookie kid, Jada Dais just let you go,
what has it been?
Speaker 4 (57:47):
Like?
Speaker 3 (57:48):
I know you played with you play with dak uh
in Dallas and I couldn't remember any other rookie quarterbacks
have you played with?
Speaker 1 (57:55):
And what what makes Jaden so special? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (57:58):
I mean, you know, the first thing I write down
and our offensive you know, team meeting that we have
is just protecting umber five man, and you know, and
that's the biggest part.
Speaker 8 (58:06):
And you know he's a very special talent.
Speaker 7 (58:08):
But for what he is on the field and how
he is off the field and how he can just
gel with guys you know and just continue to grow,
I mean, I mean, it was it was cool. It
was a cool moment I saw when Noel Brown came
in after camp.
Speaker 8 (58:24):
And he wasn't activated.
Speaker 7 (58:25):
I don't think the first week is here, but when
he was after practice just throwing routes, telling him like,
you know, if this gives this coverage, like I'm gonna
get here whatever and all this stuff. And we played
New York and the you know passes he had in
New York and with Noel Brown late in the game.
But it's like he just got here and to be
on the same page like that, you know, you know,
you know, we're gonna do whatever we need to do
(58:47):
to make you know, keep that pocket clean.
Speaker 8 (58:49):
And but man, he's been he's been great. But all
I can say is like he is very mature. He
is very mature, and in his growth over the season.
Speaker 7 (58:58):
You see it every week and how he and whether
it's you know, the protections and the looks or.
Speaker 8 (59:04):
Or what he sees on the reeds. Man, Like you know,
that's that's a lot for a defense, you know.
Speaker 7 (59:07):
So I mean and what you know, what do you
want to you know, we've seen so many different types
of looks too, so you know, you get you get
a variety. But he's seen it all, which is great,
especially this type of in this part of the season too,
So which is awesome look forward to.
Speaker 1 (59:20):
That's good.
Speaker 4 (59:21):
I mean, not only are you stellar as a player,
but you are as well off the field.
Speaker 1 (59:27):
Talk to me a little bit about hometown hero.
Speaker 7 (59:30):
Yeah, yeah, no, me and my me and my best
friend back at home.
Speaker 1 (59:33):
He uh.
Speaker 7 (59:34):
We we went to AMers High School together and we
went to Wisconsin together, and he was the backup for
Jonathan Taylor when we were there and everything, and you know,
he tried in the NFL and you know, he he
he got with the Raiders and everything that being's out
of the league right now. But we as a hometown,
(59:55):
we're only town on with thousand people, so you know,
I thought it's very you know, very small town but
very tightened into you.
Speaker 8 (01:00:00):
Know, and very special to us.
Speaker 7 (01:00:02):
But also you know, we had a lot of guys
at Wisconsin and that we're from a small town and everything,
and our kind of concept with that was like hometown
hero in regards of like you know a lot of
these small schools, but all of us, even our college
you know, teammate, former college teammates and everything like that,
we can have that same type of camp in regards
of like those smaller towns yea. And but it's never
(01:00:23):
too big and never too small, right you know, like
it doesn't matter where you come from and everything like that.
So but no, just the special of like you know,
where I come from and how I grew up and
and you know, you know, don't even look at you know,
the percentage of getting here or there. It's just you know, manifestation. Man,
Just go after it, like you know, reiterated every single day. Whatever,
you know, whatever you set your mind to, just believe
(01:00:45):
in it and keep going forth.
Speaker 3 (01:00:46):
Coming out of high school, you were actually recruited as
a defensive lineman. You made to switch over, you know,
being a former linebacker. I call it the dark side
to the offensive side and obviously play centered. Now what
was that transition like and how are you able to
kind of tap into your background as a former D
(01:01:07):
lineman It helps you when you're facing these defensive linemen.
Speaker 7 (01:01:10):
Yeah, no, I mean, uh, you know, coming out of
high school it was interesting too because I went to
Wisconsin camp and they're like, you're the best lineman at
the camp.
Speaker 8 (01:01:17):
You know, they wouldn't really like.
Speaker 7 (01:01:17):
E specify, but I signed the d LI stylar shape
and then when I got there, I was like playing
on line but it was it was a it was
an interesting, interesting transition.
Speaker 8 (01:01:24):
I mean like I never snapped the football in my
life like up to that point. So it took me
a year.
Speaker 7 (01:01:29):
Red shirted so like, but at the same time, I
think what helped me along the way was like all right,
like like what do their feet look like?
Speaker 8 (01:01:36):
You know, how did how did they move latterly? They
do move ladderly?
Speaker 7 (01:01:40):
Like how much power they can they gain within their rush?
Because I play a five technique you know, in high school,
you know, and I was a stand up so like
I knew like you know, some stuff, but obviously, like
at that level, like you could still kind of like
imagine with like slide protection everything that, but a small
to school like mine, it's kind of like tougher to
see it in more of.
Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
A college program.
Speaker 7 (01:01:58):
But but I just thought, like the the movements were
very little bit rot first in regards of like moving
like an old lineman, but in regards of like what
they saw in me to like like flip it to
see the field how you see it, and to you know,
you know, biomechanically with like the movement and like how
to get pat underpad with like you know, slants and
(01:02:20):
rocks and like you know, tight shades and everything like that.
Like it was cool just to like, you know, I
had a lot of great veterans and even like Michael Dieterer,
like he was the center at Wisconsin when I was
when I just got recruited there, so like I was
like a sponge. I was like, you know how to
do all this stuff. So but no, man, I mean
I think it definitely was an advantage. And you know,
obviously thank coach Rudolph and Coach Chris were making that switch.
Speaker 3 (01:02:40):
I bet all the burgundy gold Faithful, you're definitely happy
about you making that switch, Man, Tyler. With all our guests,
we have them. We actually the autograph our foot sure man,
hopefully you can have the find at spot there. Man,
