Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back into the Players Club. We are your host.
I'd love to Fletcher, joined by Santana, Marfa, Sean Springs,
Sean and Santana. What y'all to tell the people what
they they expect from today's episode?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, you know, we're handing out dubs from week one
matchup against the.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
G Man and we're gonna preview this week's matchup out
in Green Bank and don't.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Leave us because we're gonna catch up with my Mano.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
But first, fuckus, we got to have out some dubs.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Of the Weeds coming off that.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Victory home opener season opener against the hated New York Giants.
G Men, Yep, great victory. Got the twenty one to
six dub. Who are some of the guys that you
want to give your dubs of the week out too?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Oh, my deb we go to the guy we got
on the show. We had to bring him, man, I'm
glad we got him on the show. But my deb
we going to Debo Sam. Yeah, he has seven receptions,
seventy seven yards, nineteen rushers. But more importantly on that
we knew he was gonna have an impact on our offense.
We've been talking about it he's been in camp, he's
been here all spring. But the way they was moving
(01:12):
him around, I mean he was drawing attention.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
He would go on motion, he'd go whether he was
getting the balled or not, he was drawing the defense.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
So for me, more you could do.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And the way he was making plays where he was
blocking on Jalen's in a round and quarterback County made blocks,
it had.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
To be Deebo Samuels for me. Yeah, you know that.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I kind of second that with you, and it's one
of the things that I said leading up to this
to Week one. I'm like, look, people might not be
interested in watching Debo in practice because until they get
out there in the real pass, in a real live game,
that's when you see the affects of Debo and you
see this guy how he can just dominate you from
the outside and then inside just being on the field.
(01:53):
Like Fred always talking about that alert guy, he's opening
up things for everybody else. And you know, not to
add when the chemistry really started clicking, when when the
bass start really hitting them in stride and stuff for
that nature. So for Week one, it was a great
first game home game for Debo.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I mean that game there alone.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I remember when I got traded here and playing my
first game. I didn't have a touchdown, but that first
game we end up beating Chicago, and I remember how
high it was and that it led into that Monday
night a miracle game the next week. So I'm not
saying that he gonna jump out like that, but man,
you never know.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Man, So all of us came here, well you got
traded here, shout outside as a free agent, outside as
a free agent. And I'll tell you, I'm gonna see
if y'all felt the same way that y'all feel.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Like.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I have to show why they wanted to be here
while they brought me here.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I gotta let them know. Hey, especially when I came here,
I was thirty, about to be thirty two. M I'd
been thirty two, so history hang shot us. Some older
free agents like it's here another over the hill. Their size,
you know, just gave U looking to get a paydre.
I'm like, no, yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
That's how I was.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I was like, man, I got to let them know
what they're getting me.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And like for like Deebo, I was coming from Seattle
to the West Coast, even though I was from the area.
I was coming from the West Coast, and you know
at that time, nobody really watched it AFC Western, NFC West,
you know, unless you're on the West Coast. And then
the crazy thing about my trade was, I mean me
coming here for agency. They had traded Champ for CP,
(03:31):
so now I'm coming here wearing twenty four on the
West coast.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I know he would who is this dude? You know,
I remember him from Moha to college. But it was
a lot of like, man, we lost Champ, right, and
who's gonna.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Be that guy?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So I felt like, bro, I'm about to come here,
y'all have and see y'all just haven't seen me seeing
Blues dropped the DV up.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You know, they said, who's gonna be the number one?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I come on?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Question the Sean fashion?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I already know and shun. You gave them that, you
gave them that answer. Well, for me, man, it was
more so of I knew what I had built up
to be, you know, leading into that trade, and I
kind of was like, I get a chance to be
a rookie all over again, because I really.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Didn't enjoy my rookie season because I got hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You know in the training camp. So that's how I
approached the trade. It was like a breath of fresh shell.
It was like a this is God saying you can
do it all ver, what will you do? And so
I went into that weight room, and I remember that
off season, I got in that weight room, I got
on a great meal eating plan. I did so many
things to lead up to when that Week one approach,
(04:45):
I was so ready.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I was chopping at the best, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So that's why when I look at guys when they
make those transitions from other teams, whether they're coming in
as free agencies, where they're coming in as you know,
guys that get traded, you know, what is their mindset,
what is the what are they doing to make sure
that the other team kind of feel like that salty
girlfriend a little bit ex salty ex girlfriend. And that's
what I was looking forward to seeing Deebo Duke b
(05:08):
Deebo like, yeah, now you.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hit it, hit the nail on the head with with me,
I'm gonna give there's a lot of guys that could
have gotten double the week from me, especially when I
think about the defensive guys, the way they played that
defensive line was outstanding, really set the tall early in
that ball game. Ken Law was outstanding. Wives made some
plays here. You found everybody's presidency on that defense. But
(05:34):
one guy that almost uh, that stood out for me
that I'm gonna give my dub of the Week two
d Ryan paid a Ka, Big Daddy came, big Daddy
came big, big uh. Four tackles, had the sack, two
passes defense and that really those numbers don't truly paint
(05:57):
the full picture of the impact that he had.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
On a ball actually played on the other side of
the line of scrips.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Obviously, hell double teams split double Tea's making plays. He
made play on a wide resciver, a tunnel screenet him
out there, getting out there making tackles. So I just
thought you felt his energy knocking down the pass that
the line of scribbers, putting, the putting the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
The giants behind the.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Sticks from a dollar distancing point, and obviously getting to
the quarterback, getting the sack, and a couple other pressures.
I felt like he had a tremendous impact.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He used the word energy for him, like and I,
me and Santana was talking about it earlier.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It looked like he played with a lot of energy.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I seen him like he looked like his first step
was good, like when you think about the sacond he
split the double team. It just felt like he was
I don't know if it just came into season better shape,
but he just looked bigger, faster, stronger. And obviously you
mentioned other guys the whole off, the whole defensive line.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Just played on that side of the ball.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
But Dron looked like in Santana you said, he looked
like the guy we saw some.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Years ago, two years ago. When something is unlocked with
him right now.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't know if it's with the presidence of Ken
Long being next to him, or just the defense as
you know, a whole, or even just the you know,
the whole thing about him, you know, coming in and
better you know shape.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
This this training looks like.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
He looks like he's back in that form of you know,
getting up to those you know, double digit sacks, and
like I said, who knows, but he looks like a
player that's on the mission.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
But my true true dove of the week man you
got you got another guy?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
You can't have one.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I just can't have one. And the reason, well, y'all
hear about second dove of the week. Y'all understand why
I could have one. It's that kind of going to
the riga fly, come on.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That was big man. I told him, I'm sorry, I messed.
I told him, I said, boy, did you cry? I
walked out with a theme. I tell you what, man,
I was. I don't know on the field.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's all you're trying to do. That was allowed to
come through my bad.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I was supposed to come down there a little earlier,
but it was a two minute driving. It was some
some stuff was happening on the fields. I was like, shoot,
I want to missed this, and everybody's going touchdown. So
they started. They they must have started right away like
so this.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So he told us it was gonna be quick. But
you you got there, so you got just about to.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Have a little spread. All. Yeah, speaking of what happened,
so Smooth was in the boots with me and we
came down together.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Or he ain't running, man, trying.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
To brother, it's some smoke coming from your list.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
What I know.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I tell you this though bad and I showed this
was tired a little bit ago. Well they put his
name when you saw that they finally unveiled it down, like, man,
damn that looked good? Did I felt like it was
be Yeah? Man, I got a little bo and I
didn't have chance. I was out this weekend out of Kentucky,
(09:21):
but they were showing. But I did pregl I got back.
I did pregame and they started banning. They had like
a like yeah, yeah, man.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I was looking at that, like, boy, that's sweet.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
My dad told them. My dad said, hey, I want that,
better give it to me. I can't tell Tim to
give it to you.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
When I saw.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Did you get tired of that? Back all that band?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And then they showed the highlight man, and it showed
the highlight.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
We showed the highlight pregame with ten and dollars running
to the corner of the end zone, the one.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Where and then you split the ball like you was
like you spun the ball. I was like, man, I
teared up on that. It was because I know how
Harady worked.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It was.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It was one of those moments like I've been telling everybody,
like the way I got surprised about my Ring of
Fame induction. I don't think no other player has went
through what I went through. I feel like it was.
It was on ESPN. I was, I was sitting here
talking in front of the dog on whole training camp,
the fans.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I feel like I had already got inducted, surprised. The
surprise alone was my induction like that day.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
So I couldn't get no higher than that. But I
was on the cloud. I've been on the cloud since
that day. So but to actually see it unveiled, that's
what I wanted to see. Like you could have skipped everything.
You just said, tell me put your name of tomorrow,
and now when there and saw them do it, I
ain't nothing else I was.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That was great, great, great glad we got the dub
no doubt. That's the big day that you got hot her.
And we went that day too, by the way, speaking
of which, just trying to recap that, guess what.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm talking about, Hey, I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You know, I was hoping that you're gonna hand pass
that thing, Tim Sak you already gave me the dub
Well Fellers, that's getting into this recount. Man Jayden Daniels,
you know his leadership on offense. Man went out there.
He was nineteen for thirty two hundred and thirty three
yards passing he had to pass and TV he rushed
for sixty eight yards and it's crazy. That's the thing
that we talk about a Jayden Daniels, Josh Allen, a
(11:24):
Lamar Jackson, their superheroism.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I guess you can get that a word. If that's
the word.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
They can get yardage on the ground when they're not
even trying. And that's what happens when you have a
guy like this, of this caliber. And it just special
to me because when I looked at that stat post.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Game, I was like, he rushed for sixty eight yards?
What did it happen?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And on players where it was nothing there and I
got to make something happen. So that to me is
what makes us special offensively. That what makes the run
game special offensively. That's what make defenses have to always
play honest, like look and went in doubt he can
take off. So we have to keep eyes on this guy.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And we talked about this leadership.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
One of the things that you could see, especially on
the TV copy, it was a couple of times where
he just was like we're good, you know, you know,
like we're good, Like hey, I wanted to control. We
talked about taking the wristband off, and man, he's just
we knew. I knew he was poised. We saw it
and can't We talked about how poison is, but it's
just like, I can't get over the fact that this
(12:28):
guy is only in his second year.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It looked like it looked like, hey, man, we got.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Us an MVP quarterback already, and everything to your point,
even running the ball effortless. If something happens, he doesn't
get too high, it never gets too low. Like he
just has so much command over that offense man, and
in it show well Russell, even though we know he
has times when he's going to lead.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
He looked erratic over the place, confused, and Jayden's like, nah,
I'm cool.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
This is one of the players that I enjoyed the
most from Jaden was there was a play where we
came out of empty formation and he looks at the
Giants defensive linement and he makes an audible he checks
and it's just like okay, and he checked to a
run to draw and he ended up he ran into
(13:23):
pulling around. It was supposed to be trapping one of
the alignemens, and he actually ran into him, but he
was still able to keep his composure polls and still
I don't know how many yards again.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He got to the side.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, but just the and I'm sure I mean last
year he had ability to audible and things like that,
but just the way he he had that one yesterday,
it just looks like you could see him just having
more control at the line of script.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Speaking of you know, we talked about the offensive line
play coming into Week one. What would y'all kind of
take on those guys and how they handle things in
both the past game and the run game.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think I thought they they in print, especially when
it came to the rug game, they were dominant. I
knew we with the When you look at the offensive
line and as athletic as they are across the board,
I expect to see a lot of outside type of
runs where you're pulling the linemen, getting them out on
the edge off tackle, getting them going at the offense
(14:30):
the defensive ends and outside backers as opposed to trying
to run up unto the teeth of that defense. Giants defense,
which which is their best player, uh home base that
being Dection Lawrence. I thought the offensive line they were
all standing what I got to include John Bason that
just as the past blocking uh Colley had he got
(14:55):
what two sacks, The think he gave up and there
were a couple of times where Jaden did get get
some pressure on them. So there's some things to clean
up with the past protection. Larry Tumsa you never you know,
this guy was just a wash like he.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Was crazy right, yes, And going into that game, I
think all you heard was drafting our dual Carter. We
know about Dexter Lawrence, who's a monster Thibodeau, and going
into that game, people might have argued Giants Week one
was like that's the defensive front. But we dominated those guys,
felt like it felt like like a dominant performance.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
And the way we handled those guys, you gotta.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You gotta when you intimately know a team and you
know who they're going against. It like, okay, hey, speaking
of which Blue, you wasn't here last week, Tanner was here.
We had Fred Field there for filling Fred doing the
players ticket take.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
It down the level.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
But I said, well, we had were not talking about
our defense quite yet, but we kind of are. There
was so much talk about the Giants defense moving to
this game. I said, man, I think our defense gonna
take top in this game, the entire game. Nobody's really
talking about it talking about jadon offense, which rightfully so,
(16:07):
coming off what they did a year ago, talking about
Russ Being making his debut as a Giants quarterback and
talking about this Giants defensive front, I was like, man,
I just I feel like our defense gonna dominate this.
They did, Yeah, we did.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And so going back to our offensive line what led
to well, which you know led to a great running game, right,
I mean, I was just we talked about this all
last year. Lennon used to talk about it like, hey,
in order to be a dominant team and to win
the NFC's playing against the Eagles and those guys, because
we remember the game we had like seven field goals,
(16:44):
I mean the Giants, right, and you were talking about, hey, man,
we got to have that punch. I just remember talking
about it, and it's almost like, you know what, this
is why we went out and got Tims. This is
why we made the moves we made and drafting Connley
and making this shift to our offense line, and we
wanted it.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
What was that gonna pay off? It paid off?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And That's the thing I was going to lead to next.
You know, the officer line is here. You go out
there and make those moves in the TANSU or J
C J or you already had a guy in beyonda
and knowing when Cosmi get back, man what kind of
but you know e fact he's going to have on it.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
But now either with all that being said, you had depth.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
We already had them. We had the other guys like
Chris Paul. We had other guys what Trent Scott, I
believe right, you know what I mean. We had other
guys that can feel in Wiley, these other guys that
has been kind of overlooked and I speak you know,
you know huge on just having a coach and Bobby
Johnson going out there and doing a terrific job because
he don't get no credit.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Just talk about the office. The line.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Some of that stuff come from the guy who's leading them,
you know, the guy who's getting them ready. Because you
don't just bill chemistry by saying go out there and play. Now,
you have to be coached up. You have to be
taught or told.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
To be do this.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
When this guy's doing this and and he's showing them
because we saw last year without some of these guys
we have this year. But with all I said about them,
then you have the running backs, and you wonder why
we make the moves that we make in the backfield
the way we did, because.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Meaning let be robbed up.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
You can let a guy go when you know that, hey,
I have another guy that's capable of carrying that load
like him and the Rodriz. But I also have two
other switch up players in a in an echoer that
that that can run between the tackles. But he's he's
most dangerous outside the Washington's catching passes. Then I also
have this young kid, he want to be called Bill,
maybe because it's about the money, dollars, dollars out there
(18:40):
all week long, the fans are in the uproar talking about, Hey,
he's spalked on the chart, he's swalked on the depth tock.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Does that mean something? Yeah, it means don't think about them.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
We know we're gonna do what comes we want, and
we did just what we expected.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
This guy got out to a great start.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Man Dollar Bill talking about team areas eighty two yards rushing,
got his first TV did the same dance he did
when he did it in the pres Sinson. I mean,
I mean, looking at some of the things that he did.
I'm gonna jump out here and talk about him first.
You know, it's one thing when you see a guy
and you say, okay, he's the running back and running
the ball. But he reminds me of when I was
(19:18):
watching Frank Gore as a young kid in college. His
visions jumped out. Not only his vision, it was the
jump cuts he made instinctively when things appeared to be like,
oh that's danger, let me go ahead and make another
move right here. That's gonna set me free, or you
know what, let me let me make them think I'm
finna go into this hole right now, then I'm finna
(19:39):
jump out of it.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
He showed that on his touchdown. That's what you that's
what they've been seeing in his kid.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
They saw that when he was sitting out there on
the you know, the practice squad playing in Cottage, when
they told him that he couldn't play no more. They
saw that also in that game, that Bowl game, when
he went out there and won that MVP award. It's
amazing what coaches scouts get to see that we don't see.
And then you see it put to the test and
you see the guy go out there for for him
come week one.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Yeah, and what I like about the running back group
because you know, there was question who's that hammer?
Speaker 5 (20:11):
What we're gonna look like we're gonna look and.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Man, all these guys got a different skill set, just
like you know once again Ap and the recruiter. You
talk about scout and seeing like everybody brings something special
to the table. I rig is physical, but Austin Eckler
man like his role as the third down back and
getting making plays playing out in space. Man, come on, man,
(20:35):
come on, come on, man like that. You know it
end up just you know, it's just special. So the
running backs as a whole look great. So fellas, now
you know, I love talking about the office line and
I love talking about you know, the running backs.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
But you know the segment. We got a new segment, and.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
So it's a segment called it's called Cover two, and
it's all all about the defensive backs and the way
they played in that game.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You know, we just call it cover too with blue cover.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I like that what was our cold world for cover
to cover cod for?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, yeah, that's up Covered too with Blue and you know,
I try not to talk about the most important position
on the field, which is the second.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I try not to.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
We heard a lot of talk about you know, Molik
neighbors and he's just Russell Wilson and stuff and all
this new London they talk about, Well, we got a
lot of new talent, Tress rookie, a lot of more
was injured. What they're gonna do, Yeah, trains debut, two
tackles past break up, Kawan Martin, excellent quarterback, hit Will Harris,
(21:58):
Marshawn Lottimore or overall the defensive back would sound sticky
Tanner you talked about and it wasn't open and Russell
had to pack that thing a couple of times.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Scheme what you saw all my guys in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I saw, first of all, when you talking about sticky coverage,
the man and man when they had the call man
and man defense, what they played did a great job
mixing the coverages up. But when they did go man
and man out staying in coverage, you didn't see guys
just runners got free. I love the fact that Amos
on the on the deep balls when they try to
didn't panic right way he needed to be used the
(22:33):
sideline as another defender able to be in position, did
panic with the balls in the air.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
A couple of great pass defenses.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I thought Will Harris as a safety, he played, he played,
but a lot of scrimmage. I mean he was. He
was all over the football field, made made a lot
of nice plays. Man physical, he was. The boys was
out there hitting, yeah, Koir, they were out there hitting.
Just all around our stand of the game from the
(23:03):
defensive backs in general, I thought their disguises, the game
plan where you talked about Russ having to hold on
to the ball a little bit, they had Russ confused
with the coverages because he was there were tires. He thinking, Okay,
this gotta be man man and then they move into
his own defense and now he's like, but read is
(23:24):
not there. But I thought this not to cover that.
Think now I got to hold on to the hold
on to it. I'm getting hit, I'm getting sacked. I'm
a under pressure of the siege. I got to throw
it away, throw it in the dirt, or eat it.
And guys just collectively as a group, Look, you couldn't
ask for a better start.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Look good.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So Elik Neighbors tann him you know, obviously he got
some targets, got twelve targets and still have five receptions.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
But I saw him arguing with David.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, and at times he thought he was open, right
running a dig and then to your point, the cover
showed like a too high and then ran and kind
of almost trapped him.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
It seemed like there was some frustration.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Man. You know, talk to me like from a receiver's perspective,
you might think you're open, yeah, but you're.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Getting double with Well, he knew he wasn't open.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I mean it was it was over at times when
he did get open, and you know, he got he
got busy a little bit, especially when he had the
little one little play against Kwan, and that's you know,
that's to be you know, anytime you get a safety
on you, that should be unfair for you.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
It should be like, you know, this is cheating for me.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So I respect Kuwan still holding up on his end
and saying, hey, you know what you got to catch,
so I'm gonna finish you. But yeah, I think it
happens to the best of them. And then Elik he's
going to get that high volume of you know, attempts,
and he was expecting that, which he did, but it
just looked muddy. You know, when it's mundy, when it's money,
you're gonna be in that. You know you're gonna be
(24:46):
in that mood a little bit. See, I was one
of those guys like I can see from the week
how you're want to play me, because I was one
of those guys that and my team's number was a
high value when it came to we're gonna just target
tennis to me time. We had other guys that they
were all right, go ahead and cloud Tenne, somebody gonna
beat you. When we'll find COOLi or we get someone
out the backfield. We got we got sellers out the backfield.
(25:07):
We got Rock come in the game, catch out the
back Fiel, you got Portos he come out, you know,
in the back for then we put Rendell or somebody
in the passing game. So I was on those teams
that had guys to do that, and I they have
to worry about it. And guess what, Being that I
wasn't a diva, I care less. I was mad internally,
you just always see it. You don't have to frustrate.
So yeah, I was happy to see that he was
(25:28):
frustrated because when you see that guy in that situation,
you know it's not gonna be a good out here.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Here's just watching the game call of the game. He
didn't have a real impact on the game because it's
just he was dropping the twelve targets five catches at
two games in d C. Yeah he had He's had
thirty target yeah thirty years and we knew that that's crazy,
(25:53):
fifteenth per game. But they never allowed him really to
going to have a truly explosive type impact pol game.
And that's what led to the frustration that they started
with the game plan. Hey, we're gonna show a bunch
of different coverages. We're gonna we're gonna double heavy at
(26:13):
times where he's not some options, somebody else gonna have
to be somebody. That's what the that's what the great
defensives do. We're gonna make you play left.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Not only that, and I don't want to cut you off, London,
but when you saw him get those favorable matchups against
a lot of more to two catchers under twenty yards,
you know, trade Tray was out there, Like I say,
the dude to be young.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I love when I see guys play above there.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I guess you can say that status, you know what
I mean, like when you're a rookie, Like when Santa
Still came here last year and the way he played,
I was like scratching my head, like, man, how are
you so good this this soon?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
And Jayden Dangs, how are you so good this soon?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Now you get a guy here and Trey Amos kind
of showing how are you so good this soon? And
that's what we've been waiting for. We've been waiting for
those corners to have that kind of aggression about theirself,
about their game that we can unlock certain other players
in other defensive schemes. That's gonna make us better as
a whole man.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
We got to talk about this. The red zone stand.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
They was out of team for thirteen players. Yes, no scores.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
When you go back and you look at it, I'm
looking at it in real time. Then we get to
replace TV replay. And then the first of all, the discipline,
Oh gosh, the discipline, especially when they went man out
the coverages. They tried to tackle Eligibow try to get
him on the touchdown pass. Will Harris very disciplined on
(27:41):
his man who was the tackle that they sent down
for a pass Deli will being where they needed to
be in terms of getting pressure on Russell making him
have an inaccurate throws. Navigating there was one play where
Bobby navigates through the traffic situation, takes the running back
out of the back. They're all covered up, nowhere for
(28:02):
Russ to go. He throws it, nobody had a chance
to catch and then they went covered to it his
own coverage. The last up two plays yesterday when when
the Giants were in that red zone, because the Giants
was expecting Manwitch switch up and a lot of more
played cover two corner speaking and I'm glad we're covered too.
(28:24):
So he played cover two corner as well as you could.
On this particular play, they tried to high low them.
They had to receive it to the flat shallow and
they ran the corner route. I don't know if it
was was it Robinson he tried to hit in the corner.
Was the neighbors, I can't remember remember, but he was
in position to come up on the tackle tackle the shallows.
(28:46):
The shallow rode pushed them out of biles to make
sure they're complete it, and then they came back again
ran a form of cover two as well on the
next play in totally can cues because.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
He started say, you know what, man, I love let
you bring it up because I think we can say
way off of that to this next segment. It's the
best segment of the show. You already know, tellers, it's
time for fast Lane presented by Eastern Automotive Group, any
Car Anyway for everyone since nineteen eighty eight, and y'all
know the fast Lane. Man, I got to talk about that.
(29:22):
You know, the stuff that's coming up or the stuff
we went through. We already talked about the stuff that's
behind us. So I'm gonna kind of speed up a
little bit. We got one of those short weeks, and
with that short week, man, we got a team that
looked pretty promising.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
They looked like like.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Saying somebody that you know, we don't want to come
in their hairstepping with, and that's no other than the
Green Bay Packers, and were playing them in Left Lambo.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Now I can easily could talk about the mystique.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Of Lambo and with all that brains to the table,
and you know, when it comes to the weather, but
we play them a little early, but it also a
night game, so it's going to be a little nippy,
probably outside well fifty degrees probably around seven o'clock yesterday.
Just imagine Green Bay, So just imagine what it's gonna
(30:09):
look like come Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Red Jacket were ready bringing Jacket.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I think I'm gonna definitely have to have me a
sweatio or something on.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
But you know, just to just to just to go
off for what we gotta expect this week. You got
a guy in Michael Parson's man. He had a he
had a snap, you know what, what a little betweenty nine.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Some time and looked out in like a blitz every
time he came in.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
They were just getting ready for us, because you know
this is he really built. He was building his whole
thing up.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Get this I have to say about what he showed
this week one and what we expecting, you know, out
of him come Thursday night.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Well as far as Michael pass him and Rashaan Gary.
It's a nice little combination of bookings. You know, you know,
you talk about a guy he was just growing on
dollars and had a back and everything, and we knew.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
He was gonna get some snack.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Look good though, I.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Was just about to say it didn't look like he
was edited it all.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
He came in and pretty much the first nap he
was in went around.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I think the kid was the all Pro tackle Detroit got.
But he made that. I mean, he was exceptional.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
And the.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Green Bay Packers is their front and defense.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Made a pretty good Detroit offense under Grand They lost
their coordinated to Chicago and everything, but they made a
pretty good Detroit offense.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Looked very basic and average, and.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Michael Parsons was a factor soon he tested field. When
you look at the Packers passed Russia general and Michael
he hasn't been there that long. So how much of
the defense he actually knows? Hey, most of the time,
put your head in the dirt, don't get the quarterback.
(31:54):
At least you to dropping the coverage, the fresh, do
all that type of stand fresh. So it's getting off
to a fast start and Lambeau, it's gonna have to
be our run game again. That's that's gonna be a
key rushing rushing, rushing the football and putting us in
(32:17):
start in shorts, having a tremendous game plan to block
Mike And I don't know that Dallas, I mean Green
Bay's gonna lose. Use him in the same manner that
Dallas was. What they were moving him around, got it.
They might match him up, line him up over our guard,
line him up over center, use him in that manner
(32:39):
just yet, So just having a there's probably gonna be
some help with Connley because I would think if you're
if you're Green Bay, You're gonna say, hey, what did
Connery have a couple of issues with speed rushers off
the edge, So let's see, let's get Mike on here.
But I think Connley will be ready for for that
(33:00):
speed and dealing with those types of things. So you
gonna slide the protection protection his way, knowing you got
you got Tulso the veteran guy that that we all
need to give him that same type of help that
we will.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
We won't give a young guy making.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
This first start on the road in Lambeau.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
And Michael Michael loves to perform for his old coach
and Dan Quinn too. So yeah, and you talk about
fast out, you talked about our offense. I think defensively, Tan,
I like, I like, I like the quarterback love you
talking about some young exciting quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Jordan Love name has to be in that discussion. You're
talking about a guy who has everything.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
He's mobile, he can hit every throw. You know.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Matt Lafloor smart, so he got he's in a great system.
And the boy from Texas Golden is good. So I
think we our defense was pretty good.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
I guess it.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
The Giants is gonna have to be much better against
it defense. I mean, I defense much better against a
Green Bay team because a quarterback is looking good and
she was looking good.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, with that being said, and that's something that you
know that jumps off the chart as soon as you
as soon as you see highlights from those guys, those guys.
I've been talking to a nause him about their young
receiver crew.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
I think those guys have been showing up.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
For the last three years and they don't get enough
credit because it's always love love, love love.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
But he got to throw it to somebody. But I
like what we did.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
You know in week one, how we did play defensively.
I know it's gonna be different now. Now you don't
have a guy that can't really see over the line.
Jordan has enough height that he can do that, and
he's mobile enough with youth that he probably can escape things.
But before we get to talking about our defense, sticking
to the you know things that they can do to
kind of prevent us from being special. What do you
(34:48):
guys think about their secondary, you know, led by Xavier McKinney.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I think there that that Packer's secondary. Now they got
rid of jyr Alex are best corner a season ago.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I think that Xavier McKinney, that boy is special.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
That was he used to play with play with the Giants, right,
he was a safety at one point he.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Was with the Giants.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, he was with the Giants up until two years
last year maybe, but he's he's actually football player really.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
With our.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Our receiving corps, the great thing about it is you
got so many guys you can target. I thought Noah
Brown played extremely well debo as a receiver against man
and man coverage. Was consistently beating man coverage. Terry. We
know he's still working his way back, but he's Yeah,
(35:47):
he had he was open on the deep ball of
him and Jayon just couldn't connect all. So I feel
great about our ability to their secondary. Now you go
always you gotta make sure you protect the football when
you're throwing stuff like that. But I think they'll have
a great game player to go against their secondary try
(36:08):
to create some matchups.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
You know, not only having a great game plan too,
when you when you have a you put something on tape,
you're able to kind of correct things easier and much better.
And I think that was one of the things that
I was interested in seeing how we respond to not
having that many reps offensively together throughout the preseason. And
you saw Jayden, you know, the first comment he made,
(36:31):
you know, in the post game or press that he
was like, we played sloppy, and knowing Jayden, he's talking
about himself because he wants to be flawless. And you
saw a couple of balls that those guys made some
tough catches a few times fun because the ball was
a tad bit on Jayden, like behind him. And it's
crazy though, because you watch him and he would come
(36:51):
right back to the next play and put it right
in your gut. So that just go to show you
that he was even pissed off about some of those
rolls and know he can be better. And I just
look forward to him just saying Okay, I got it,
I got a game under my belt. The speed ship
be kind of we should be there a little bit.
All we had to do is get one real one in.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Now, let me go, let me you know, like let
me let me show you guys what I can do.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
And I love the fact that just watching the game
or Sunday against the g Man, I'm going back a
little bit. When he missed that third down played to
zach Ertz, he came right back and put it in
his gut for the touchdown, and I'm like, look hot,
his kid, make sure he redeemed itself. And the same
way with Jayden Lane behind lane a little bit, being
that he's young, you can't expect him to make that play,
(37:34):
but you wanted to make that play.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Then he comes back to him.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Again and put it in his chest where he can
have a very catchable pass. So I'm regardless of who
you have out there in the secondary, I think what
we do with our balance attack offensively, how we run
the ball, how we pass the ball as some run plays,
that's going to get things to be brought up and
play in our favorite till we get behind guys. You know,
I saw running a lot of incuts behind those linebackers.
(37:57):
You know being because they had those coverages where they
had to safety over the top. You know they gonna
be looking for that, and now you're gonna see those
uh huh. You know, I'm gonna give you a little.
I'm gonna give you a little you know what, I'm
gonna bait you. Yeah, you saw me, You saw me
going there a couple of times. I can see I
can see a couple of you know, let me take
you in there and then I either have a guy
on the backside going over the top or that guy
(38:19):
who took you in there give you two plays.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I mean, I mean two looks. But yeah, man, I'm.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Looking forward to it, just just knowing how that how
that game can be when it comes to just the
I guess you could say the prime time of a
Thursday night game and just both teams starting to the massage.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
Ask you about matla Floyd, Well, you were here with Matt.
Was your relationship with him?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I wasn't so Matt was at the time he was
a quarterbacks coach when he and I really didn't know
how smart he was until I watched them be a
head coach and I'm like, man, I'm my job on
the floor watching them, you know, I mean coach because
you knew under that umbrella, that and the hand on
brother that all those guys had something for them to
(39:03):
be around. Like one just want to let you be
Kyle's friend and just be in the building, right, you know,
he wants some guys who really can take on what
he's teaching and that offense and how that thing has
been ran for.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
So many years.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
But what's crazy about it if you watch it everywhere
that has been it's something.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Different they.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
But that just shows you where that coach is at
when it comes to that offense. And so that's what
always amazes me, just to see how you can see
that offense and five different teams and it all ran differently.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
But Battle of Floy is a great guy too. Yeah,
good dude, it was here. I was here with him. Yeah,
just just a great, great guy. Uh. I enjoyed being around.
Happy for his success, obviously hoping that uh wes Thursday night.
You know, other than that, what's your success?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, all right, fellas, we're gonna I'm pop out of
that one, you know what. We're gonna do a jump
cut like out of that sea to this next segment.
Guess that stat uh other than your boy eight to
the nine? All right, feelers, I'm gonna throw something out there,
and you guys gotta guess it.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I'm gonna see where you guys at man. You know

was it like you made your debut and it Commanders uniform?

Speaker 7 (44:47):
It felt good man, especially walking out there and see
how excited the fans was just to get us back
out there, and you know, you know, I was kind
of glad we got we got to win. You know,
there's still a lot of work to do. We had
a lot of minor errors here and there, but but
you know that's what practice for. A practice make perfect
and we're trying to be as perfect we used to be.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
What was one of the things that jump off the
screen to you about Jaden Dames when you got here.
I know a lot of guys, especially when you hear
the veterans that play on the opposite side of the
ball talk about him, It's like you can almost see
that they just feel like it's something special about him.
You being a receiver, being a guy that's going to,
you know, catch passes from him. What was it that
you saw from when you got here that you didn't
(45:25):
know when you watch him from Afar?
Speaker 7 (45:28):
You know, watching from Afar, you know, I kind of
watched him a good bit because Brandon you can him
and hit him and Brandon are like really really close
friends and likes. As I'm watching Jay playing these big games,
the moment don't never seem too big for him. And
you know, just getting here and just seeing how he is,
it's always that. It's always that way. He's never been
too high, he's never been too loud low, He's always.
Speaker 3 (45:48):
Been like right here.
Speaker 7 (45:50):
And then just playing this game with him, Like, man,
he had fun. It's fun having a ball. He always
smile and he always talking like he having a ball.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
I was watching the game and everybody know seeing you
on the West coast that you can run after the
catch and stuff. But we've been impressed, man, like you
don't get enough credit for like.
Speaker 5 (46:09):
Coming back to the ball. You're out running all that,
but you did you separating?
Speaker 4 (46:14):
Man, Like, what is it about your game that like
people don't know that we come to love to appreciate.
Speaker 7 (46:21):
I take pride in one, you know, we receivers. I
take pride and catching the ball right, you know, even
though they be like, yeah, you this is a hard
catch and that it's never a hard catch if you
get two hands on it. So I pride myself in
catching the ball as best way as I can. And
you know, as a receiver, you want to separate. But
if the separation ain't there, that's what you got hands for.
So you just got to use your hands to mab.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
I just say I take pride in that for sure.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
I remember when I first watched you and I found
out you was from South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
I was like, you got a little shop and.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
We're one of those guys, older guys you watched and
you said, you know what, I look like this guy
played his position.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
That's why I'm watching. Try to imitate a little bit.
Speaker 7 (47:03):
You know this this is gonna sound crazy because my
guy used to watch all the time, was Reggie Bush
growing up like I played running back, So I was
just like, all right, Reggie go crazy, you know. So
I was just like everything he tried to do, I'm
trying to do as I as I you know, kind
of switched to receiver kind of like you know, my
eleventh twelfth grade.
Speaker 5 (47:21):
Year high school.
Speaker 7 (47:22):
It's just like I didn't I didn't really watch ball
like I just you know, I just love to play
at My dad coached me since I was about yay high.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
So it's just like I always played the game. That
makes sense though, man, I mean that's why you're so
special with the party, right, you still got I mean,
what made you switch?
Speaker 5 (47:39):
Though you could have stayed at running back? What made
you sweat?
Speaker 3 (47:43):
It wasn't like necessarily a switch. It's just like I
played everything.
Speaker 7 (47:47):
So I kind of you know, I'm going to chat
in high school and m in South Carolina. You know,
moved there in ninth grade with my pops. So like
we had got a coach with going into my tenth grade,
your name Mark Hodge. You know, we still talked to
this day. One of the best if I ever ever
encountered in my life. He was just at the game,
but like he came and he was just like, bro,
like you athletic enough to play wherever I put you,
(48:08):
like for a safety, corner, receiver, running back, quarterback, whatever.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
He was just put me anywhere.
Speaker 7 (48:13):
And then going to my twelfth grade year, I ended
up getting offer from vendor Bilt to play wide out
and it.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
Was just like all right here, God, you played defense
in high school, had twelve twelve career interceptions, and I
locked some up. Corner. You play safety, play corner. Most
say lock them up.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Coach.
Speaker 7 (48:36):
You be like, hey man, they got this guy. I
need you to just go out there and you know,
just give me everything you got and I just go
out there. You know, I'm a real physical guy, like
hands on. So he's gonna be a long tough game.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
The Dick Dave de ball we're doing for the movie
Friday's Friday. How did you get that nickname?
Speaker 7 (48:52):
So when I was young, my father used to say,
I used to.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
You know, fight a lot, you know of take people's stuff.
Speaker 7 (48:58):
So it's like whatever I have, whatever they had. My
mother said I was taking it, trying to fight everybody
to shit in the third and like, funny story is,
I'm getting ready of it. You know, I committed to
South Carolina, and you know, everybody like you know when
you go to a big college, you know, the.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
ESPN's the CBS, all this is that.
Speaker 7 (49:17):
In the third my Stepmam was like, I hope you know,
I hope you know nobody calling you Debo no more.
And then like as time went on, everybody just kept
calling me anymore.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
She started like, you in the stadium making the plays,
you get the touchdown run, and you're hearing the crowd
chant your name, de Bo de Bo? How did you
feel here at that? Man?
Speaker 7 (49:42):
It's crazy because we went to dinner as a family
last night and it was just my dad was like,
how did that make you feel? Because like everywhere I
went in sant France, like the stadium, it was just
like I'm already known there, so like just to hear
that here it was just I was like, whoa, Like
this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
No, you know, I was stagging for you because I'm
sitting there listening and I'm like, they couldn't wait to
do this, man, they were really waiting because you know,
you got to think about it, man, folks, especially here,
I learned I learned it. I learned it fast when
I got here from New York the first time I
made it play and I felt that energy from those fans.
I had to come up with something because I'm like, man,
this this is different from what I felt in New York.
(50:27):
And I was curious how they was going to, you know,
receive you. And they did it.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Just how how they should have.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
When I heard them those chants, I was like here
already was this is gonna have this boy have a
one number year.
Speaker 4 (50:41):
And we've been saying that because because when you look
at your play, even on your counters reverse you don't.
Speaker 5 (50:46):
Even get the ball, all the defense, everybody going your way.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
So you're getting that respect, man, and like, bro, we
think you have a huge year.
Speaker 6 (50:52):
Man.
Speaker 4 (50:53):
We want to see we want to see you, uh
make that difference and he did. Man from week one,
Man and continue you do have that success, all.
Speaker 1 (51:02):
Right, d bo Man we have. We had this tradition
here all the guests that come on our show. We
asked him to autograph our football. We appreciate if you
would do that for us, Man, we appreciate you join us,
joining us on the Players Club. That'll do it. We'll
see y'all next week. At the same time, the Players
Club was filmed at the Big Bear AI Command Center Studio.
(51:23):
Big Bear AI offers mission ready AI for a rapidly
involving world, probably protecting the Washington commanders and his fans.
Welcome back into the Players Club. We are your host.
I'd love to Fletcher, joined by Santana, Marfa, Sean Springs,
Sean and Santana. What y'all to tell the people what
they they expect from today's episode?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Well, you know, we're handing out dubs from week one
matchup against the.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
G Man and we're gonna preview this week's matchup out
in Green Bank and don't.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Leave us because we're gonna catch up with my Mano.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
But first, fuckus, we got to have out some dubs.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Of the Weeds coming off that.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Victory home opener season opener against the hated New York Giants.
G Men, Yep, great victory. Got the twenty one to
six dub. Who are some of the guys that you
want to give your dubs of the week out too?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Oh, my deb we go to the guy we got
on the show. We had to bring him, man, I'm
glad we got him on the show. But my deb
we going to Debo Sam. Yeah, he has seven receptions,
seventy seven yards, nineteen rushers. But more importantly on that
we knew he was gonna have an impact on our offense.
We've been talking about it he's been in camp, he's
been here all spring. But the way they was moving
(01:12):
him around, I mean he was drawing attention.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
He would go on motion, he'd go whether he was
getting the balled or not, he was drawing the defense.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
So for me, more you could do.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
And the way he was making plays where he was
blocking on Jalen's in a round and quarterback County made blocks,
it had.
Speaker 5 (01:29):
To be Deebo Samuels for me. Yeah, you know that.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I kind of second that with you, and it's one
of the things that I said leading up to this
to Week one. I'm like, look, people might not be
interested in watching Debo in practice because until they get
out there in the real pass, in a real live game,
that's when you see the affects of Debo and you
see this guy how he can just dominate you from
the outside and then inside just being on the field.
(01:53):
Like Fred always talking about that alert guy, he's opening
up things for everybody else. And you know, not to
add when the chemistry really started clicking, when when the
bass start really hitting them in stride and stuff for
that nature. So for Week one, it was a great
first game home game for Debo.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I mean that game there alone.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
I remember when I got traded here and playing my
first game. I didn't have a touchdown, but that first
game we end up beating Chicago, and I remember how
high it was and that it led into that Monday
night a miracle game the next week. So I'm not
saying that he gonna jump out like that, but man,
you never know.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Man, So all of us came here, well you got
traded here, shout outside as a free agent, outside as
a free agent. And I'll tell you, I'm gonna see
if y'all felt the same way that y'all feel.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Like.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I have to show why they wanted to be here
while they brought me here.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
I got it.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I gotta let them know. Hey, especially when I came here,
I was thirty, about to be thirty two. M I'd
been thirty two, so history hang shot us. Some older
free agents like it's here another over the hill. Their size,
you know, just gave U looking to get a paydre.
I'm like, no, yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
That's how I was.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I was like, man, I got to let them know
what they're getting me.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
And like for like Deebo, I was coming from Seattle
to the West Coast, even though I was from the area.
I was coming from the West Coast, and you know
at that time, nobody really watched it AFC Western, NFC West,
you know, unless you're on the West Coast. And then
the crazy thing about my trade was, I mean me
coming here for agency. They had traded Champ for CP,
(03:31):
so now I'm coming here wearing twenty four on the
West coast.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I know he would who is this dude? You know,
I remember him from Moha to college. But it was
a lot of like, man, we lost Champ, right, and
who's gonna.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
Be that guy?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So I felt like, bro, I'm about to come here,
y'all have and see y'all just haven't seen me seeing
Blues dropped the DV up.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
You know, they said, who's gonna be the number one?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
I come on?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Question the Sean fashion?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I already know and shun. You gave them that, you
gave them that answer. Well, for me, man, it was
more so of I knew what I had built up
to be, you know, leading into that trade, and I
kind of was like, I get a chance to be
a rookie all over again, because I really.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Didn't enjoy my rookie season because I got hurt.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
You know in the training camp. So that's how I
approached the trade. It was like a breath of fresh shell.
It was like a this is God saying you can
do it all ver, what will you do? And so
I went into that weight room, and I remember that
off season, I got in that weight room, I got
on a great meal eating plan. I did so many
things to lead up to when that Week one approach,
(04:45):
I was so ready.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I was chopping at the best, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
So that's why when I look at guys when they
make those transitions from other teams, whether they're coming in
as free agencies, where they're coming in as you know,
guys that get traded, you know, what is their mindset,
what is the what are they doing to make sure
that the other team kind of feel like that salty
girlfriend a little bit ex salty ex girlfriend. And that's
what I was looking forward to seeing Deebo Duke b
(05:08):
Deebo like, yeah, now you.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Hit it, hit the nail on the head with with me,
I'm gonna give there's a lot of guys that could
have gotten double the week from me, especially when I
think about the defensive guys, the way they played that
defensive line was outstanding, really set the tall early in
that ball game. Ken Law was outstanding. Wives made some
plays here. You found everybody's presidency on that defense. But
(05:34):
one guy that almost uh, that stood out for me
that I'm gonna give my dub of the Week two
d Ryan paid a Ka, Big Daddy came, big Daddy
came big, big uh. Four tackles, had the sack, two
passes defense and that really those numbers don't truly paint
(05:57):
the full picture of the impact that he had.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
On a ball actually played on the other side of
the line of scrips.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Obviously, hell double teams split double Tea's making plays. He
made play on a wide resciver, a tunnel screenet him
out there, getting out there making tackles. So I just
thought you felt his energy knocking down the pass that
the line of scribbers, putting, the putting the.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
The giants behind the.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Sticks from a dollar distancing point, and obviously getting to
the quarterback, getting the sack, and a couple other pressures.
I felt like he had a tremendous impact.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
He used the word energy for him, like and I,
me and Santana was talking about it earlier.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
It looked like he played with a lot of energy.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
I seen him like he looked like his first step
was good, like when you think about the sacond he
split the double team. It just felt like he was
I don't know if it just came into season better shape,
but he just looked bigger, faster, stronger. And obviously you
mentioned other guys the whole off, the whole defensive line.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Just played on that side of the ball.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
But Dron looked like in Santana you said, he looked
like the guy we saw some.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Years ago, two years ago. When something is unlocked with
him right now.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't know if it's with the presidence of Ken
Long being next to him, or just the defense as
you know, a whole, or even just the you know,
the whole thing about him, you know, coming in and
better you know shape.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
This this training looks like.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
He looks like he's back in that form of you know,
getting up to those you know, double digit sacks, and
like I said, who knows, but he looks like a
player that's on the mission.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
But my true true dove of the week man you
got you got another guy?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
You can't have one.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I just can't have one. And the reason, well, y'all
hear about second dove of the week. Y'all understand why
I could have one. It's that kind of going to
the riga fly, come on.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That was big man. I told him, I'm sorry, I messed.
I told him, I said, boy, did you cry? I
walked out with a theme. I tell you what, man,
I was. I don't know on the field.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
That's all you're trying to do. That was allowed to
come through my bad.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I was supposed to come down there a little earlier,
but it was a two minute driving. It was some
some stuff was happening on the fields. I was like, shoot,
I want to missed this, and everybody's going touchdown. So
they started. They they must have started right away like
so this.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So he told us it was gonna be quick. But
you you got there, so you got just about to.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Have a little spread. All. Yeah, speaking of what happened,
so Smooth was in the boots with me and we
came down together.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Or he ain't running, man, trying.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
To brother, it's some smoke coming from your list.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
What I know.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
I tell you this though bad and I showed this
was tired a little bit ago. Well they put his
name when you saw that they finally unveiled it down, like, man,
damn that looked good? Did I felt like it was
be Yeah? Man, I got a little bo and I
didn't have chance. I was out this weekend out of Kentucky,
(09:21):
but they were showing. But I did pregl I got back.
I did pregame and they started banning. They had like
a like yeah, yeah, man.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
I was looking at that, like, boy, that's sweet.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
My dad told them. My dad said, hey, I want that,
better give it to me. I can't tell Tim to
give it to you.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
When I saw.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Did you get tired of that? Back all that band?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
And then they showed the highlight man, and it showed
the highlight.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
We showed the highlight pregame with ten and dollars running
to the corner of the end zone, the one.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Where and then you split the ball like you was
like you spun the ball. I was like, man, I
teared up on that. It was because I know how
Harady worked.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
It was.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
It was one of those moments like I've been telling everybody,
like the way I got surprised about my Ring of
Fame induction. I don't think no other player has went
through what I went through. I feel like it was.
It was on ESPN. I was, I was sitting here
talking in front of the dog on whole training camp,
the fans.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
I feel like I had already got inducted, surprised. The
surprise alone was my induction like that day.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
So I couldn't get no higher than that. But I
was on the cloud. I've been on the cloud since
that day. So but to actually see it unveiled, that's
what I wanted to see. Like you could have skipped everything.
You just said, tell me put your name of tomorrow,
and now when there and saw them do it, I
ain't nothing else I was.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That was great, great, great glad we got the dub
no doubt. That's the big day that you got hot her.
And we went that day too, by the way, speaking
of which, just trying to recap that, guess what.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I'm talking about, Hey, I couldn't tell you.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
You know, I was hoping that you're gonna hand pass
that thing, Tim Sak you already gave me the dub
Well Fellers, that's getting into this recount. Man Jayden Daniels,
you know his leadership on offense. Man went out there.
He was nineteen for thirty two hundred and thirty three
yards passing he had to pass and TV he rushed
for sixty eight yards and it's crazy. That's the thing
that we talk about a Jayden Daniels, Josh Allen, a
(11:24):
Lamar Jackson, their superheroism.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
I guess you can get that a word. If that's
the word.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
They can get yardage on the ground when they're not
even trying. And that's what happens when you have a
guy like this, of this caliber. And it just special
to me because when I looked at that stat post.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Game, I was like, he rushed for sixty eight yards?
What did it happen?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And on players where it was nothing there and I
got to make something happen. So that to me is
what makes us special offensively. That what makes the run
game special offensively. That's what make defenses have to always
play honest, like look and went in doubt he can
take off. So we have to keep eyes on this guy.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
And we talked about this leadership.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
One of the things that you could see, especially on
the TV copy, it was a couple of times where
he just was like we're good, you know, you know,
like we're good, Like hey, I wanted to control. We
talked about taking the wristband off, and man, he's just
we knew. I knew he was poised. We saw it
and can't We talked about how poison is, but it's
just like, I can't get over the fact that this
(12:28):
guy is only in his second year.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
It looked like it looked like, hey, man, we got.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Us an MVP quarterback already, and everything to your point,
even running the ball effortless. If something happens, he doesn't
get too high, it never gets too low. Like he
just has so much command over that offense man, and
in it show well Russell, even though we know he
has times when he's going to lead.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
He looked erratic over the place, confused, and Jayden's like, nah,
I'm cool.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
This is one of the players that I enjoyed the
most from Jaden was there was a play where we
came out of empty formation and he looks at the
Giants defensive linement and he makes an audible he checks
and it's just like okay, and he checked to a
run to draw and he ended up he ran into
(13:23):
pulling around. It was supposed to be trapping one of
the alignemens, and he actually ran into him, but he
was still able to keep his composure polls and still
I don't know how many yards again.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He got to the side.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, but just the and I'm sure I mean last
year he had ability to audible and things like that,
but just the way he he had that one yesterday,
it just looks like you could see him just having
more control at the line of script.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Speaking of you know, we talked about the offensive line
play coming into Week one. What would y'all kind of
take on those guys and how they handle things in
both the past game and the run game.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think I thought they they in print, especially when
it came to the rug game, they were dominant. I
knew we with the When you look at the offensive
line and as athletic as they are across the board,
I expect to see a lot of outside type of
runs where you're pulling the linemen, getting them out on
the edge off tackle, getting them going at the offense
(14:30):
the defensive ends and outside backers as opposed to trying
to run up unto the teeth of that defense. Giants defense,
which which is their best player, uh home base that
being Dection Lawrence. I thought the offensive line they were
all standing what I got to include John Bason that
just as the past blocking uh Colley had he got
(14:55):
what two sacks, The think he gave up and there
were a couple of times where Jaden did get get
some pressure on them. So there's some things to clean
up with the past protection. Larry Tumsa you never you know,
this guy was just a wash like he.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Was crazy right, yes, And going into that game, I
think all you heard was drafting our dual Carter. We
know about Dexter Lawrence, who's a monster Thibodeau, and going
into that game, people might have argued Giants Week one
was like that's the defensive front. But we dominated those guys,
felt like it felt like like a dominant performance.
Speaker 5 (15:30):
And the way we handled those guys, you gotta.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
You gotta when you intimately know a team and you
know who they're going against. It like, okay, hey, speaking
of which Blue, you wasn't here last week, Tanner was here.
We had Fred Field there for filling Fred doing the
players ticket take.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
It down the level.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
But I said, well, we had were not talking about
our defense quite yet, but we kind of are. There
was so much talk about the Giants defense moving to
this game. I said, man, I think our defense gonna
take top in this game, the entire game. Nobody's really
talking about it talking about jadon offense, which rightfully so,
(16:07):
coming off what they did a year ago, talking about
Russ Being making his debut as a Giants quarterback and
talking about this Giants defensive front, I was like, man,
I just I feel like our defense gonna dominate this.
They did, Yeah, we did.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
And so going back to our offensive line what led
to well, which you know led to a great running game, right,
I mean, I was just we talked about this all
last year. Lennon used to talk about it like, hey,
in order to be a dominant team and to win
the NFC's playing against the Eagles and those guys, because
we remember the game we had like seven field goals,
(16:44):
I mean the Giants, right, and you were talking about, hey, man,
we got to have that punch. I just remember talking
about it, and it's almost like, you know what, this
is why we went out and got Tims. This is
why we made the moves we made and drafting Connley
and making this shift to our offense line, and we
wanted it.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
What was that gonna pay off? It paid off?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
And That's the thing I was going to lead to next.
You know, the officer line is here. You go out
there and make those moves in the TANSU or J
C J or you already had a guy in beyonda
and knowing when Cosmi get back, man what kind of
but you know e fact he's going to have on it.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
But now either with all that being said, you had depth.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
We already had them. We had the other guys like
Chris Paul. We had other guys what Trent Scott, I
believe right, you know what I mean. We had other
guys that can feel in Wiley, these other guys that
has been kind of overlooked and I speak you know,
you know huge on just having a coach and Bobby
Johnson going out there and doing a terrific job because
he don't get no credit.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Just talk about the office. The line.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Some of that stuff come from the guy who's leading them,
you know, the guy who's getting them ready. Because you
don't just bill chemistry by saying go out there and play. Now,
you have to be coached up. You have to be
taught or told.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
To be do this.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
When this guy's doing this and and he's showing them
because we saw last year without some of these guys
we have this year. But with all I said about them,
then you have the running backs, and you wonder why
we make the moves that we make in the backfield
the way we did, because.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
Meaning let be robbed up.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
You can let a guy go when you know that, hey,
I have another guy that's capable of carrying that load
like him and the Rodriz. But I also have two
other switch up players in a in an echoer that
that that can run between the tackles. But he's he's
most dangerous outside the Washington's catching passes. Then I also
have this young kid, he want to be called Bill,
maybe because it's about the money, dollars, dollars out there
(18:40):
all week long, the fans are in the uproar talking about, Hey,
he's spalked on the chart, he's swalked on the depth tock.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Does that mean something? Yeah, it means don't think about them.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
We know we're gonna do what comes we want, and
we did just what we expected.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
This guy got out to a great start.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Man Dollar Bill talking about team areas eighty two yards rushing,
got his first TV did the same dance he did
when he did it in the pres Sinson. I mean,
I mean, looking at some of the things that he did.
I'm gonna jump out here and talk about him first.
You know, it's one thing when you see a guy
and you say, okay, he's the running back and running
the ball. But he reminds me of when I was
(19:18):
watching Frank Gore as a young kid in college. His
visions jumped out. Not only his vision, it was the
jump cuts he made instinctively when things appeared to be like,
oh that's danger, let me go ahead and make another
move right here. That's gonna set me free, or you
know what, let me let me make them think I'm
finna go into this hole right now, then I'm finna
(19:39):
jump out of it.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
He showed that on his touchdown. That's what you that's
what they've been seeing in his kid.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
They saw that when he was sitting out there on
the you know, the practice squad playing in Cottage, when
they told him that he couldn't play no more. They
saw that also in that game, that Bowl game, when
he went out there and won that MVP award. It's
amazing what coaches scouts get to see that we don't see.
And then you see it put to the test and
you see the guy go out there for for him
come week one.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
Yeah, and what I like about the running back group
because you know, there was question who's that hammer?
Speaker 5 (20:11):
What we're gonna look like we're gonna look and.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Man, all these guys got a different skill set, just
like you know once again Ap and the recruiter. You
talk about scout and seeing like everybody brings something special
to the table. I rig is physical, but Austin Eckler
man like his role as the third down back and
getting making plays playing out in space. Man, come on, man,
(20:35):
come on, come on, man like that. You know it
end up just you know, it's just special. So the
running backs as a whole look great. So fellas, now
you know, I love talking about the office line and
I love talking about you know, the running backs.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
But you know the segment. We got a new segment, and.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
So it's a segment called it's called Cover two, and
it's all all about the defensive backs and the way
they played in that game.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You know, we just call it cover too with blue cover.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
I like that what was our cold world for cover
to cover cod for?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah, yeah, that's up Covered too with Blue and you know,
I try not to talk about the most important position
on the field, which is the second.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
I try not to.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
We heard a lot of talk about you know, Molik
neighbors and he's just Russell Wilson and stuff and all
this new London they talk about, Well, we got a
lot of new talent, Tress rookie, a lot of more
was injured. What they're gonna do, Yeah, trains debut, two
tackles past break up, Kawan Martin, excellent quarterback, hit Will Harris,
(21:58):
Marshawn Lottimore or overall the defensive back would sound sticky
Tanner you talked about and it wasn't open and Russell
had to pack that thing a couple of times.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
Scheme what you saw all my guys in the backyard.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I saw, first of all, when you talking about sticky coverage,
the man and man when they had the call man
and man defense, what they played did a great job
mixing the coverages up. But when they did go man
and man out staying in coverage, you didn't see guys
just runners got free. I love the fact that Amos
on the on the deep balls when they try to
didn't panic right way he needed to be used the
(22:33):
sideline as another defender able to be in position, did
panic with the balls in the air.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
A couple of great pass defenses.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I thought Will Harris as a safety, he played, he played,
but a lot of scrimmage. I mean he was. He
was all over the football field, made made a lot
of nice plays. Man physical, he was. The boys was
out there hitting, yeah, Koir, they were out there hitting.
Just all around our stand of the game from the
(23:03):
defensive backs in general, I thought their disguises, the game
plan where you talked about Russ having to hold on
to the ball a little bit, they had Russ confused
with the coverages because he was there were tires. He thinking, Okay,
this gotta be man man and then they move into
his own defense and now he's like, but read is
(23:24):
not there. But I thought this not to cover that.
Think now I got to hold on to the hold
on to it. I'm getting hit, I'm getting sacked. I'm
a under pressure of the siege. I got to throw
it away, throw it in the dirt, or eat it.
And guys just collectively as a group, Look, you couldn't
ask for a better start.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Look good.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
So Elik Neighbors tann him you know, obviously he got
some targets, got twelve targets and still have five receptions.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
But I saw him arguing with David.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, and at times he thought he was open, right
running a dig and then to your point, the cover
showed like a too high and then ran and kind
of almost trapped him.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
It seemed like there was some frustration.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Man. You know, talk to me like from a receiver's perspective,
you might think you're open, yeah, but you're.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Getting double with Well, he knew he wasn't open.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I mean it was it was over at times when
he did get open, and you know, he got he
got busy a little bit, especially when he had the
little one little play against Kwan, and that's you know,
that's to be you know, anytime you get a safety
on you, that should be unfair for you.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
It should be like, you know, this is cheating for me.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
So I respect Kuwan still holding up on his end
and saying, hey, you know what you got to catch,
so I'm gonna finish you. But yeah, I think it
happens to the best of them. And then Elik he's
going to get that high volume of you know, attempts,
and he was expecting that, which he did, but it
just looked muddy. You know, when it's mundy, when it's money,
you're gonna be in that. You know you're gonna be
(24:46):
in that mood a little bit. See, I was one
of those guys like I can see from the week
how you're want to play me, because I was one
of those guys that and my team's number was a
high value when it came to we're gonna just target
tennis to me time. We had other guys that they
were all right, go ahead and cloud Tenne, somebody gonna
beat you. When we'll find COOLi or we get someone
out the backfield. We got we got sellers out the backfield.
(25:07):
We got Rock come in the game, catch out the
back Fiel, you got Portos he come out, you know,
in the back for then we put Rendell or somebody
in the passing game. So I was on those teams
that had guys to do that, and I they have
to worry about it. And guess what, Being that I
wasn't a diva, I care less. I was mad internally,
you just always see it. You don't have to frustrate.
So yeah, I was happy to see that he was
(25:28):
frustrated because when you see that guy in that situation,
you know it's not gonna be a good out here.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Here's just watching the game call of the game. He
didn't have a real impact on the game because it's
just he was dropping the twelve targets five catches at
two games in d C. Yeah he had He's had
thirty target yeah thirty years and we knew that that's crazy,
(25:53):
fifteenth per game. But they never allowed him really to
going to have a truly explosive type impact pol game.
And that's what led to the frustration that they started
with the game plan. Hey, we're gonna show a bunch
of different coverages. We're gonna we're gonna double heavy at
(26:13):
times where he's not some options, somebody else gonna have
to be somebody. That's what the that's what the great
defensives do. We're gonna make you play left.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Not only that, and I don't want to cut you off, London,
but when you saw him get those favorable matchups against
a lot of more to two catchers under twenty yards,
you know, trade Tray was out there, Like I say,
the dude to be young.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I love when I see guys play above there.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
I guess you can say that status, you know what
I mean, like when you're a rookie, Like when Santa
Still came here last year and the way he played,
I was like scratching my head, like, man, how are
you so good this this soon?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
You know?
Speaker 3 (26:49):
And Jayden Dangs, how are you so good this soon?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Now you get a guy here and Trey Amos kind
of showing how are you so good this soon? And
that's what we've been waiting for. We've been waiting for
those corners to have that kind of aggression about theirself,
about their game that we can unlock certain other players
in other defensive schemes. That's gonna make us better as
a whole man.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
We got to talk about this. The red zone stand.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
They was out of team for thirteen players. Yes, no scores.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
When you go back and you look at it, I'm
looking at it in real time. Then we get to
replace TV replay. And then the first of all, the discipline,
Oh gosh, the discipline, especially when they went man out
the coverages. They tried to tackle Eligibow try to get
him on the touchdown pass. Will Harris very disciplined on
(27:41):
his man who was the tackle that they sent down
for a pass Deli will being where they needed to
be in terms of getting pressure on Russell making him
have an inaccurate throws. Navigating there was one play where
Bobby navigates through the traffic situation, takes the running back
out of the back. They're all covered up, nowhere for
(28:02):
Russ to go. He throws it, nobody had a chance
to catch and then they went covered to it his
own coverage. The last up two plays yesterday when when
the Giants were in that red zone, because the Giants
was expecting Manwitch switch up and a lot of more
played cover two corner speaking and I'm glad we're covered too.
(28:24):
So he played cover two corner as well as you could.
On this particular play, they tried to high low them.
They had to receive it to the flat shallow and
they ran the corner route. I don't know if it
was was it Robinson he tried to hit in the corner.
Was the neighbors, I can't remember remember, but he was
in position to come up on the tackle tackle the shallows.
(28:46):
The shallow rode pushed them out of biles to make
sure they're complete it, and then they came back again
ran a form of cover two as well on the
next play in totally can cues because.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
He started say, you know what, man, I love let
you bring it up because I think we can say
way off of that to this next segment. It's the
best segment of the show. You already know, tellers, it's
time for fast Lane presented by Eastern Automotive Group, any
Car Anyway for everyone since nineteen eighty eight, and y'all
know the fast Lane. Man, I got to talk about that.
(29:22):
You know, the stuff that's coming up or the stuff
we went through. We already talked about the stuff that's
behind us. So I'm gonna kind of speed up a
little bit. We got one of those short weeks, and
with that short week, man, we got a team that
looked pretty promising.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
They looked like like.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Saying somebody that you know, we don't want to come
in their hairstepping with, and that's no other than the
Green Bay Packers, and were playing them in Left Lambo.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Now I can easily could talk about the mystique.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Of Lambo and with all that brains to the table,
and you know, when it comes to the weather, but
we play them a little early, but it also a
night game, so it's going to be a little nippy,
probably outside well fifty degrees probably around seven o'clock yesterday.
Just imagine Green Bay, So just imagine what it's gonna
(30:09):
look like come Thursday night.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Red Jacket were ready bringing Jacket.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
I think I'm gonna definitely have to have me a
sweatio or something on.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
But you know, just to just to just to go
off for what we gotta expect this week. You got
a guy in Michael Parson's man. He had a he
had a snap, you know what, what a little betweenty nine.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Some time and looked out in like a blitz every
time he came in.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
They were just getting ready for us, because you know
this is he really built. He was building his whole
thing up.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Get this I have to say about what he showed
this week one and what we expecting, you know, out
of him come Thursday night.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Well as far as Michael pass him and Rashaan Gary.
It's a nice little combination of bookings. You know, you know,
you talk about a guy he was just growing on
dollars and had a back and everything, and we knew.
Speaker 5 (31:00):
He was gonna get some snack.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Look good though, I.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Was just about to say it didn't look like he
was edited it all.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
He came in and pretty much the first nap he
was in went around.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
I think the kid was the all Pro tackle Detroit got.
But he made that. I mean, he was exceptional.
Speaker 3 (31:15):
And the.
Speaker 5 (31:17):
Green Bay Packers is their front and defense.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Made a pretty good Detroit offense under Grand They lost
their coordinated to Chicago and everything, but they made a
pretty good Detroit offense.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Looked very basic and average, and.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Michael Parsons was a factor soon he tested field. When
you look at the Packers passed Russia general and Michael
he hasn't been there that long. So how much of
the defense he actually knows? Hey, most of the time,
put your head in the dirt, don't get the quarterback.
(31:54):
At least you to dropping the coverage, the fresh, do
all that type of stand fresh. So it's getting off
to a fast start and Lambeau, it's gonna have to
be our run game again. That's that's gonna be a
key rushing rushing, rushing the football and putting us in
(32:17):
start in shorts, having a tremendous game plan to block
Mike And I don't know that Dallas, I mean Green
Bay's gonna lose. Use him in the same manner that
Dallas was. What they were moving him around, got it.
They might match him up, line him up over our guard,
line him up over center, use him in that manner
(32:39):
just yet, So just having a there's probably gonna be
some help with Connley because I would think if you're
if you're Green Bay, You're gonna say, hey, what did
Connery have a couple of issues with speed rushers off
the edge, So let's see, let's get Mike on here.
But I think Connley will be ready for for that
(33:00):
speed and dealing with those types of things. So you
gonna slide the protection protection his way, knowing you got
you got Tulso the veteran guy that that we all
need to give him that same type of help that
we will.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
We won't give a young guy making.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
This first start on the road in Lambeau.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
And Michael Michael loves to perform for his old coach
and Dan Quinn too. So yeah, and you talk about
fast out, you talked about our offense. I think defensively, Tan,
I like, I like, I like the quarterback love you
talking about some young exciting quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (33:36):
Jordan Love name has to be in that discussion. You're
talking about a guy who has everything.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
He's mobile, he can hit every throw. You know.
Speaker 4 (33:46):
Matt Lafloor smart, so he got he's in a great system.
And the boy from Texas Golden is good. So I
think we our defense was pretty good.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
I guess it.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
The Giants is gonna have to be much better against
it defense. I mean, I defense much better against a
Green Bay team because a quarterback is looking good and
she was looking good.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Yeah, with that being said, and that's something that you
know that jumps off the chart as soon as you
as soon as you see highlights from those guys, those guys.
I've been talking to a nause him about their young
receiver crew.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
I think those guys have been showing up.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
For the last three years and they don't get enough
credit because it's always love love, love love.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
But he got to throw it to somebody. But I
like what we did.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
You know in week one, how we did play defensively.
I know it's gonna be different now. Now you don't
have a guy that can't really see over the line.
Jordan has enough height that he can do that, and
he's mobile enough with youth that he probably can escape things.
But before we get to talking about our defense, sticking
to the you know things that they can do to
kind of prevent us from being special. What do you
(34:48):
guys think about their secondary, you know, led by Xavier McKinney.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I think there that that Packer's secondary. Now they got
rid of jyr Alex are best corner a season ago.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I think that Xavier McKinney, that boy is special.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
That was he used to play with play with the Giants, right,
he was a safety at one point he.
Speaker 5 (35:10):
Was with the Giants.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yeah, he was with the Giants up until two years
last year maybe, but he's he's actually football player really.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
With our.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Our receiving corps, the great thing about it is you
got so many guys you can target. I thought Noah
Brown played extremely well debo as a receiver against man
and man coverage. Was consistently beating man coverage. Terry. We
know he's still working his way back, but he's Yeah,
(35:47):
he had he was open on the deep ball of
him and Jayon just couldn't connect all. So I feel
great about our ability to their secondary. Now you go
always you gotta make sure you protect the football when
you're throwing stuff like that. But I think they'll have
a great game player to go against their secondary try
(36:08):
to create some matchups.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
You know, not only having a great game plan too,
when you when you have a you put something on tape,
you're able to kind of correct things easier and much better.
And I think that was one of the things that
I was interested in seeing how we respond to not
having that many reps offensively together throughout the preseason. And
you saw Jayden, you know, the first comment he made,
(36:31):
you know, in the post game or press that he
was like, we played sloppy, and knowing Jayden, he's talking
about himself because he wants to be flawless. And you
saw a couple of balls that those guys made some
tough catches a few times fun because the ball was
a tad bit on Jayden, like behind him. And it's
crazy though, because you watch him and he would come
(36:51):
right back to the next play and put it right
in your gut. So that just go to show you
that he was even pissed off about some of those
rolls and know he can be better. And I just
look forward to him just saying Okay, I got it,
I got a game under my belt. The speed ship
be kind of we should be there a little bit.
All we had to do is get one real one in.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Now, let me go, let me you know, like let
me let me show you guys what I can do.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
And I love the fact that just watching the game
or Sunday against the g Man, I'm going back a
little bit. When he missed that third down played to
zach Ertz, he came right back and put it in
his gut for the touchdown, and I'm like, look hot,
his kid, make sure he redeemed itself. And the same
way with Jayden Lane behind lane a little bit, being
that he's young, you can't expect him to make that play,
(37:34):
but you wanted to make that play.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
Then he comes back to him.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Again and put it in his chest where he can
have a very catchable pass. So I'm regardless of who
you have out there in the secondary, I think what
we do with our balance attack offensively, how we run
the ball, how we pass the ball as some run plays,
that's going to get things to be brought up and
play in our favorite till we get behind guys. You know,
I saw running a lot of incuts behind those linebackers.
(37:57):
You know being because they had those coverages where they
had to safety over the top. You know they gonna
be looking for that, and now you're gonna see those
uh huh. You know, I'm gonna give you a little.
I'm gonna give you a little you know what, I'm
gonna bait you. Yeah, you saw me, You saw me
going there a couple of times. I can see I
can see a couple of you know, let me take
you in there and then I either have a guy
on the backside going over the top or that guy
(38:19):
who took you in there give you two plays.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I mean, I mean two looks. But yeah, man, I'm.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Looking forward to it, just just knowing how that how
that game can be when it comes to just the
I guess you could say the prime time of a
Thursday night game and just both teams starting to the massage.
Speaker 5 (38:37):
Ask you about matla Floyd, Well, you were here with Matt.
Was your relationship with him?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
I wasn't so Matt was at the time he was
a quarterbacks coach when he and I really didn't know
how smart he was until I watched them be a
head coach and I'm like, man, I'm my job on
the floor watching them, you know, I mean coach because
you knew under that umbrella, that and the hand on
brother that all those guys had something for them to
(39:03):
be around. Like one just want to let you be
Kyle's friend and just be in the building, right, you know,
he wants some guys who really can take on what
he's teaching and that offense and how that thing has
been ran for.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
So many years.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
But what's crazy about it if you watch it everywhere
that has been it's something.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
Different they.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
But that just shows you where that coach is at
when it comes to that offense. And so that's what
always amazes me, just to see how you can see
that offense and five different teams and it all ran differently.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
But Battle of Floy is a great guy too. Yeah,
good dude, it was here. I was here with him. Yeah,
just just a great, great guy. Uh. I enjoyed being around.
Happy for his success, obviously hoping that uh wes Thursday night.
You know, other than that, what's your success?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Yeah, all right, fellas, we're gonna I'm pop out of
that one, you know what. We're gonna do a jump
cut like out of that sea to this next segment.
Guess that stat uh other than your boy eight to
the nine? All right, feelers, I'm gonna throw something out there,
and you guys gotta guess it.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
You know what I mean.

was it like you made your debut and it Commanders uniform?
What was that like?
Speaker 5 (44:46):
Man?
Speaker 7 (44:47):
It felt good man, especially walking out there and see
how excited the fans was just to get us back
out there, and you know, you know, I was kind
of glad we got we got to win. You know,
there's still a lot of work to do. We had
a lot of minor errors here and there, but but
you know that's what practice for. A practice make perfect
and we're trying to be as perfect we used to be.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
What was one of the things that jump off the
screen to you about Jaden Dames when you got here.
I know a lot of guys, especially when you hear
the veterans that play on the opposite side of the
ball talk about him, It's like you can almost see
that they just feel like it's something special about him.
You being a receiver, being a guy that's going to,
you know, catch passes from him. What was it that
you saw from when you got here that you didn't
(45:25):
know when you watch him from Afar?
Speaker 7 (45:28):
You know, watching from Afar, you know, I kind of
watched him a good bit because Brandon you can him
and hit him and Brandon are like really really close
friends and likes. As I'm watching Jay playing these big games,
the moment don't never seem too big for him. And
you know, just getting here and just seeing how he is,
it's always that. It's always that way. He's never been
too high, he's never been too loud low, He's always.
Speaker 3 (45:48):
Been like right here.
Speaker 7 (45:50):
And then just playing this game with him, Like, man,
he had fun. It's fun having a ball. He always
smile and he always talking like he having a ball.
Speaker 5 (45:58):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
I was watching the game and everybody know seeing you
on the West coast that you can run after the
catch and stuff. But we've been impressed, man, like you
don't get enough credit for like.
Speaker 5 (46:09):
Coming back to the ball. You're out running all that,
but you did you separating?
Speaker 4 (46:14):
Man, Like, what is it about your game that like
people don't know that we come to love to appreciate.
Speaker 7 (46:21):
I take pride in one, you know, we receivers. I
take pride and catching the ball right, you know, even
though they be like, yeah, you this is a hard
catch and that it's never a hard catch if you
get two hands on it. So I pride myself in
catching the ball as best way as I can. And
you know, as a receiver, you want to separate. But
if the separation ain't there, that's what you got hands for.
So you just got to use your hands to mab.
Speaker 5 (46:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
I just say I take pride in that for sure.
Speaker 2 (46:44):
I remember when I first watched you and I found
out you was from South Carolina.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
I was like, you got a little shop and.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
We're one of those guys, older guys you watched and
you said, you know what, I look like this guy
played his position.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
That's why I'm watching. Try to imitate a little bit.
Speaker 7 (47:03):
You know this this is gonna sound crazy because my
guy used to watch all the time, was Reggie Bush
growing up like I played running back, So I was
just like, all right, Reggie go crazy, you know. So
I was just like everything he tried to do, I'm
trying to do as I as I you know, kind
of switched to receiver kind of like you know, my
eleventh twelfth grade.
Speaker 5 (47:21):
Year high school.
Speaker 7 (47:22):
It's just like I didn't I didn't really watch ball
like I just you know, I just love to play
at My dad coached me since I was about yay high.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
So it's just like I always played the game. That
makes sense though, man, I mean that's why you're so
special with the party, right, you still got I mean,
what made you switch?
Speaker 5 (47:39):
Though you could have stayed at running back? What made
you sweat?
Speaker 3 (47:43):
It wasn't like necessarily a switch. It's just like I
played everything.
Speaker 7 (47:47):
So I kind of you know, I'm going to chat
in high school and m in South Carolina. You know,
moved there in ninth grade with my pops. So like
we had got a coach with going into my tenth grade,
your name Mark Hodge. You know, we still talked to
this day. One of the best if I ever ever
encountered in my life. He was just at the game,
but like he came and he was just like, bro,
like you athletic enough to play wherever I put you,
(48:08):
like for a safety, corner, receiver, running back, quarterback, whatever.
Speaker 3 (48:11):
He was just put me anywhere.
Speaker 7 (48:13):
And then going to my twelfth grade year, I ended
up getting offer from vendor Bilt to play wide out
and it.
Speaker 1 (48:17):
Was just like all right here, God, you played defense
in high school, had twelve twelve career interceptions, and I
locked some up. Corner. You play safety, play corner. Most
say lock them up.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Coach.
Speaker 7 (48:36):
You be like, hey man, they got this guy. I
need you to just go out there and you know,
just give me everything you got and I just go
out there. You know, I'm a real physical guy, like
hands on. So he's gonna be a long tough game.
Speaker 1 (48:46):
The Dick Dave de ball we're doing for the movie
Friday's Friday. How did you get that nickname?
Speaker 7 (48:52):
So when I was young, my father used to say,
I used to.
Speaker 3 (48:55):
You know, fight a lot, you know of take people's stuff.
Speaker 7 (48:58):
So it's like whatever I have, whatever they had. My
mother said I was taking it, trying to fight everybody
to shit in the third and like, funny story is,
I'm getting ready of it. You know, I committed to
South Carolina, and you know, everybody like you know when
you go to a big college, you know, the.
Speaker 3 (49:15):
ESPN's the CBS, all this is that.
Speaker 7 (49:17):
In the third my Stepmam was like, I hope you know,
I hope you know nobody calling you Debo no more.
And then like as time went on, everybody just kept
calling me anymore.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
She started like, you in the stadium making the plays,
you get the touchdown run, and you're hearing the crowd
chant your name, de Bo de Bo? How did you
feel here at that? Man?
Speaker 7 (49:42):
It's crazy because we went to dinner as a family
last night and it was just my dad was like,
how did that make you feel? Because like everywhere I
went in sant France, like the stadium, it was just
like I'm already known there, so like just to hear
that here it was just I was like, whoa, Like
this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (50:04):
No, you know, I was stagging for you because I'm
sitting there listening and I'm like, they couldn't wait to
do this, man, they were really waiting because you know,
you got to think about it, man, folks, especially here,
I learned I learned it. I learned it fast when
I got here from New York the first time I
made it play and I felt that energy from those fans.
I had to come up with something because I'm like, man,
this this is different from what I felt in New York.
(50:27):
And I was curious how they was going to, you know,
receive you. And they did it.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Just how how they should have.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
When I heard them those chants, I was like here
already was this is gonna have this boy have a
one number year.
Speaker 4 (50:41):
And we've been saying that because because when you look
at your play, even on your counters reverse you don't.
Speaker 5 (50:46):
Even get the ball, all the defense, everybody going your way.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
So you're getting that respect, man, and like, bro, we
think you have a huge year.
Speaker 6 (50:52):
Man.
Speaker 4 (50:53):
We want to see we want to see you, uh
