Speaker 4 (01:58):
What are some of the things when.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
You guys have the expertise, you've been there, what are
some of the things that you're seeing out there?
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Well, day two. You know, first days, you know, get
the gits out day two. This excitement still there, But
I don't think it's fabricated excitement. I think it's like
these guys playing at our fifteen minutes yesterday Today was
pretty short. These guys playing at a high level.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You know what I saw today?
Speaker 6 (02:19):
I saw defense that was making a quarterback come off
the first read, flying around, and some studs out there
on both sides and bomb man.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Sean, do you get jealous like I do now watching
these guys go through two days and they don't even
practice two times a day anymore? Like how long could
you have played in the in this era? Not as
rough for y'all and not hard as practice.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Well, I pride myself being a guy who ushered in
this era cause smooth to tell you won't.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Get to practy.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Practice the way that I wasn't gonna practice for a
time straight.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It wasn't gonna happen. Man, something I came up. He's
not lying. I can give you this.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
If anybody ever said, you know what I'm gonna dictate
on how I take care of my body, it was
shunned because he would do it at just.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
The oddest time, like we'll be into me.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He very studious. Yeah, nothing's wrong with him, not hurt
nowt you know, we come out to practice, he got
on sweats.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I'm ahead of my time, Like it's gonna be like
this one day.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's wow to tell you're talking about that coach Gibbs man.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
And he didn't believe in like he didn't think there
was any problem with time, like a practice is supposed
to be like a I don't half to three hours,
it could be three and a half hours, four hours
of Coach Gibbs act like that was he's.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Still pushing us to the core, like he's still he
challenges us. Did he want to take the heat into account?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Listen, one day, no football, No, this this is what
he called Washington weather.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's Washington.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I remember one day we coming out and the players
try to get me to go talk to coach before
cause they know coach me and Coach GiB pretty tight,
and they like, man, it's gonna rain. Man, we might
don't even be going up there. So I go talk
to coach and coach like, now, smooth, you know this
this Washington weather, baby, So we get out there. You know,
we get out there and we scratch it. When we scratch,
I walk around, it start to pour. Then that lightning hit.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Pay him.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Once the lightning hit, we don't have to ask coach.
Everybody just runs there. So I won the coach while
were running up and I just look at him like
it took Jesus to throw lightning for you, for you
to ease up on us. Like listen, Coach Gibb as
nice as he is, very demanding now, very demand.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And you see that in the practice with Dan.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
You know dPQ and this and this and the roster
that item, and the organization is built. Man, this canna
be so competitive and demanding. Man, I love to see that.
Its iron shops iron.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But we always start off defensively faster than the office
at this time and year. My birthday brother in kaun
Morten got a pick in the red zone to day
and I thought it was very intelligent. The first two
days they have major in red zone, they're not they're
not pushing the field because they understand it where the
soft tess injuries happen very quickly. We just throw them
right in to the fire. He's building them up and
(05:03):
I think that's very very smart. But once that outfense
timing comes around, maybe day five, day six, now everything
will be on even playingground.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So you just mentioned kwal Martin and you said before
he went on the air, and we're gonna talk to
treyas coming up later on the show, and talked to
her Davis as well.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
You said, Trey looks nice.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Well, you know, we just corners by. You know a
lot of times when your rookie, the game move fast
and I'm watching him and he's getting in his stance
and he's so comfortable.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
He's under control and smart.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
To tell you, a lot of young corners are plays generator. Yeah, man,
this guy looked like he's been playing corner for like
twenty years.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Maybe he had that Trey Amos one of my own
names and.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Something, but no, seriously, he was He was like a
veteran man.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He kicks step, slide, good position.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
He looks like a guy like, oh, he can be
all pro in a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Like, so, do you think for two years in a row?
You know they did hit on me in the second round. Yeah,
I hate to toot my own horn. Two check this out, Mike,
you think two years in a row. We got Mikey
Simum still in the second round last year. This year
we got Trey Amiens. Do you think two years in
the row we hit on corners the corners of the
future for this team.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
I think we got some guys who not only the
corners of the future for this organization, but they got
some guys that could be Pro Bowl like Pro bowlers
and like perennial All Pro.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We saw a smooth We.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Talked about even last year on the podcast that Mikey.
We saw him at the beginning of the year and
he was good against solid, against Mike Evans. He was
challenging guys. Then week five, week six, we noticed like, man,
this boy get better.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This really good real quick.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
We were like, hey, we moved inside, he didn't move outside,
and we was like, man, this boy. We saw him
in the Philly game, right you know, before the playoffs.
We was like, man, this kid is challenging everybody.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Right then we're getting the playoff game against Detroit. He
gets two picks.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
So we we talked about it all year, like usually
rookies or people get better the second year.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
All the time.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Yeah, man, I was like, man, this kid is By
the end of the year he was one of the
best corners in the league. Yes, and I feel that
amous is the same way he is. Man this kid.
If we got a bon five starter and you know,
playing on the opposite side, a lot of more Yeah,
a lot of more earns out of respect, but a
lot of the more might be getting more balls if
that kid keep playing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
That's the whole thing about corners, like to really say
you've got the pedigree of a great corner. If you're
playing opposite of a great corner, you don't answer that
question until you make them throw back at the great corner,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So it always helps the secondary when you get great
pressure up front. And we've asked we're gonna talk with
Vernon Davis about von Milico, but we haven't asked your opinion.
What do you think he can add to this team?
Been around a long time, but certainly in big spots
he could come up huge.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Well, first of all, for a guy like vonn and
choose this organization where he could have went anywhere, not
even came to.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Know it feels good to be the ring chasing Team's
a ring chasing team so far for the fact that
Vaughn decided that you know what, I'm gonna show up
the camp.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I'm gonna come to Washington. He sees something in this organization.
And obviously he has a he has a relationship with
Adam him and drafted him, so he has a relationship
with him.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But what I saw is a guy short.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
First at training camp, knowing that DQ and Everybody's gonna
take care. But he showed like he still got it.
Got great first step, light hands, he did all the drill.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
He had the quickest get off in the NFL last year.
Is a thirty five year old. They clocked him at
one point five second, which was the higher any defensive rusher.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
So and I and I think was overlooked with Varnis
because he's so athletic, people don't talk about his footworking
technique is amazing. He got straight on, yeah, he got spend, moved,
he got speed, power, he got counters and SO and
I think and Smooking probably talk to you. But as
you get later in your career, you know that your
your role changes. Right, I don't have to be the
(08:49):
guy on first three down. I don't need to beat it.
I don't I don't need to be that superstar. You know,
I don't have to have fifteen sacks. You know what
I do need that I might need to have six
and big moments, right, So so he knows that when
the playoffs hits the big games, who's gonna be that
guy you can count on and step up and say,
you know what, I might need to make a play.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He's been doing it. He's he's to me.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
The value he's gonna bring to this defense is similar
to what JD five does on offense, being.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
A force smoke to play.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
His presence alone is gonna unlock everybody else on the
defensive front because when that offense comes to the line,
they're gonna be like, fine, twenty four, we need to
know where the pass rush is coming from. That allows
Frankie Loot who on the backside, to get going. That
allows that's a very good point, now, Frankie. That allows
Jason Newton the run pain and inside ken Law to
(09:40):
get one on one. He unlocks everybody on the front.
So if you look at it, I think he has
the ability. Von Miller has the ability to go plush
two on everybody else on the front. So if they
was gonna have four sacks, now he just turned it
into six sex.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I think that changes everything.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And we got so big with big bodies like d
Wise Ken law we learned from last year getting pushed
around on first down. Let's win first down and earn
the right to pass rush on third down. So that's
what von Miller is gonna bring to this team. But
that's why we got reinforcements. And what I feel like
is the most crowded room. You got Lawrence, you got,
(10:23):
you got who Barroll, you got, you got Cleveland Farrell,
you got Dietrich, wise Home, you got like Paying. You
got so many guys in this front. That's gonna be
the difference in this team. I think the NFC Championship
game taught us we gotta get bigger, we gotta get stronger,
and that's what we did.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
And I think it's a smooth point. They all looked
the part. That's one thing. It's one thing when you
look at a team like this guy's little short of
this guy, a little thick.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Of this man.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
All these guys look like, hey man, I don't know
who getting off the bus for your verse.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Look. I don't think we do that as football players.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
We sit in the big boys off the bus first,
it's intimidation, just.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
To let them know I'm like the listener wild while
I'm not there. Ye ya ya yea yea yeah yah yeah,
but you're hide behind the bulldog. Yeah the whole I'm
yapping right.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
So there's a depth on the defensive line now, I
know that was kind of an issue coming in, but
now there's a lot of guys who could rotate in.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
How much cut some good players? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
How much will to help this team late? Because that
was an issue last year, which is they would get
some pressure but had a hard time doing it late
in the third or in the fourth court.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
We're here, go think about it. We was getting pressure
blitzing Frankie Luvu. Now Frankie lou was gonna be playing
off the edge naturally. So can we do what Philadelphia
did and get pressure with four? Because if you can
do that, if you can get pressure with four, it
allows you to drop people into coverage and play different coverages.
That allows you to stop some of these great quarterbacks.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
And another thing you got to think about, pressure and
coverage goes together. So when you up upgrade the back
end and guys and they get the first base, they
stick on the first break and makes the quarterback hold
it just a second longer.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, man, and we did that. We up late.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
We got bigger up front, and we got more athletic
in the back end, faster in the back end.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, you're big and you're fast.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
That makes that makes it. And God and Smooth talking
about the versatility. Yeah, like we got guys like Jones,
who Jones, Jonathan Jones who can play.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Inside, outside, left corner rock.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Play man plays yea hearings from the same me and
Harris could play free sect, nicol everything.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So when you have Mikey can play inside and outside. Yeah.
So when you have that.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Type of versatility and depth, man, you got a powerful combination.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So Smooth hate lists. I hate rankings, so of course
they so of course there for us.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Fred Hates's lists.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What it says, right, I hate film because all right,
let gonna tell you when the lists come out, when
it's no sports going on, when it's no football going
everybody dropped list. Yes, nobody knows what they talking about.
Most of them never played sports. And you're gonna tell
me this guy better than this guy, and you ain't
watching no for him. All you did was look at numbers.
My numbers might be different than here because I play
(13:10):
mostly man the man he plays home all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So I was always top of the list. So it
didn't bother mem You didn't need to look like number one,
number one, want to number two. I keep on because
I keep going.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, I'm just saying most of the times they are relevant,
like when they come out, when they come out with
the top one hundred players, I be looking at the
list like really, really all right? Because every year if
you want to just put Patrick Mahons at number one,
if that's what you want to.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Do, not necessarily they can't be an argument that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Don't mean your argument right, Like don't come telling me
I'm gonna put Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen in front
of Patrick mahon when he just continuously goes to the
soup Bowl, Like, no, they're not better than him because.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
They can't beat him.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
But Michael Parsons could arguably be the best player in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
But his value is not like the value of a quarterback.
Yeah it's not, that's true. It's not is it going
by the value? Is it going about like this? What
is what make the list all bes? Like this didn't
because it's no value scale. It's no value scale. And
like this if you say.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Not to bring up any defensive players from dollars, but I.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Mean, the kid is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You know, Michael Parson, all right, but many people say
Miles Garrett is better. Y, So people say TJ. White
off the edge a little better. So to each his own.
What I'm saying is to each his own. Nobody list
is really correct.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
You don't like lest we get it.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The only reason I mentioned this is because ESPN at
a football power Index list and they listed every team's
chance to win the Super Bowl, Eagles number one to
twelve percent, chiefs at eleven persons.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Why would the Eagles be at twelve percent when it's
already hard to go back to back to the Super Bowl?
You ever heard of a Super Bowl hangover? That's it's
already hard to do that. They looked up in the
health department last year. Sure, you think you're gonna be
healthy twenty four months in a row.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
All right, that's why it's only twelve percent.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I think if you ask most people that say it's
a higher percentage, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's hard, all right? Who we got it well.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We got the Ravens at four to nine percent, Lions
at five eight percent, and Commanders at six five percent.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Chance, that's pretty good. The Lions are lower than the Lions.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Right under the Lions.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
First of all, we went to Detroit, went to the
Ford dealership and kicked in every car in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
We went the motown. I think we're better than the Lions.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
I was both coordinators, Ben Jonson, how much is I
gonna remember when.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Hurt the Lion? Don't forget Red No, the center? He retired.
He retired, all right? Ain't Hutchesson coming out for injury?
A major injury? All right?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Jared Goff showed you I threw a pick. If you
get a little pressure on me, my quarterback better than yours.
Why are they ranked higher than us?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We really forced our offensive line. They lost they center.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
All right, we're better than him on the defensive front.
We're better than him on the back end. Like who
made the list? ESPN made the list? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And that concludes the list of the.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
List I like, and they take list.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Only list I like is the smooth family cookbook that
been handed down for nine generations of schmoots. That's the
only thing is this considered the list a list of recipes.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
That's the only one I became with a warm year off.
And you even gotta put an astisk by that. Food
is excellent, but your cholesterol and blood pressure go up.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It happened. This dude been hating no manyway decades. You're right,
you're right, decade, You're right, food is excellent.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Well one not gonna head on Trey Amos, Yes, stud
rookie out of old mess and he's gonna we finally
made it to camp and already that's the labs are
coming in. Yes, I mean, when you talk about guys
who people are excited about.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Seeing trainers, is definitely one of those why not?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You know what? I hate to toot my own horn.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It kind of remind me of the five seconds second
I was a long corner.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I like to talk to their trash. I like to
have fun when I was doing tray.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Checked this out when I checked in for my first
mini camp practice. When I walked in the dB room,
it was Dion Sanders, Champ Bailey and Dale Green right,
So when.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I walked in, I walked right back out and say
why y'all dreamed me. What was this fuck?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
They told me come on back in here because we're
gonna teach you how to play the game. Well, you,
how did you feel when you walked in and it
was Marshall and Latimore, Mikey Sandrich Still and some of
the guys you got perfect talking to it.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
I feel like it was like a perfect opportunity, you know,
just to learn from them.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yep, and like I.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Just wanted to, uh bring the best foot forward. Yeah,
and you know everything's work out for itself, you know,
just keep on a levelheaded and you know, just being positive,
just ready to work.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yep. You and I love too.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I mean you were saying this before he went on,
which is in any work situation when you're new, you
never know how you're going to be treated, how you're
gonna be accepted. You say it from the start like
it's been Hey, welcome, we got you to learning process.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
But you're part of the team here.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, it's a real brotherhood.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Yeah, because people talk brotherhood but they don't show it
all the time, but they show it over here for sure.
So you know, all I can say, like I appreciate that,
you know, the transitions been smooth. Everything, you know, everything
been great. Yep, can't complain at all.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well when they talk about coach Wit, I had to
play against coach with when I was playing, when he
played in green when he coached in Green Bay, he
had Charles Woodson and Al Harris when he played. I
mean he coached and the Cowboys, you know, Trevor and
Diggs and Wins of those guys. Have you looked at
some of those guys and say, you know what these
guys led to the league in interceptions when they played
in this defense.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Maybe I could do the same thing in it exactly.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
So like we be watching all those guys you know
in film film room trying to get their technique and
you know, just trying to like, you know, get one
percent better every day.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So uh, being of course with he gonna put put
us in.
Speaker 9 (19:06):
Like positions to like make plays, you know, just just
play free.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, he's turnty much a dB friendly defense, like and
sometimes it's not because my first defense with because Shannenheimer,
they just basically put me champing Dale, Green on the
island and say, you know, y'all go out there and
y'all just handle it, and we're gonna do the rest
what we're gonna do here, but to play in a
dB friendly defense, especially as a rookie, I think it
actually gives you a chance to ease your way into
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Is there is there?
Speaker 9 (19:31):
I just I just have that like you just have
to be a corner. You just have to have that
dog mentality.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
So I just keep that to a high standard, you know,
starting with a routine, knowing what you want to do
the time you do it, and you know, just execute
and I feel like you're gonna have a career every
single day.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Now it's a Mississippi State bulldog. I gotta ask you.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
All right now, my daughter Paris Smooth, she's at Old
Miss right now, she's a sophomore ed old so old
missus takes my money as we speak. What made you
choose when you left Alabama? What made you choose Old Miss?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I'm sure you had other suitors, right, what made you
choose old Miss?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, So.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
When I was in a portal the first time, Old
Miss was running up to Obama.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh right.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
So when I entered the port of the second time,
I had Pete Golden you know in my head, the
DC and it was just like a natural fit, like
natural fit. Yeah, and he was just like, come on man.
I was just like, hey, I'm going you know, I
already knew what.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I had to do. Yeah. I just trusted my gut
and it worked out. Did that help you?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Because you know, in the old school day and not
too long ago, you know, you might spend three four
years at one school and here you're going to big
time universities and Obama Ole Miss. You're going to those
different situations and adjusting on the fly and maybe help
you here a little bit because you're already having to
make those adjustments in the previous couple of years.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Nah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
So when I first transfer the first time to Bama,
it was a great like transition, Yeah, but like you know,
everything new, you know, new coaches, new players, you.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Know you gotta get along with.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
But when I went to Old Miss, I already had
the idea where like I had a plan, like you know,
to get comfortable with the team as fast as possible
and you know, just go out there and just be
the best thing I can be.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Our players kind of we either have somebody we look
up to when we're in like high school, like Dion
Saanders was there for me, Like I kind of modeled
everything at the D I WoT number tween one in
high school and one I WoT two in college.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Like I mimic everything.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Did you have a player that you like, I want
to play like him when I when I get to
that point, did you have a player?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Okay, growing up, I was a QB.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I was a quarterback, so I was really much athlete, right, yeah,
Mike big Man.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Playing Madden.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
You know this is I forgot which one was it?
Six o seven? Was it the cover using him? And
you know I just brought it out to the field.
You know, is that and wasn't it? I don't think
it was too long ago. Maybe been during mini camp
where I think you were out there leading the dance.
Like people were like, like, so you already like bring
(22:19):
it in with the team, which has to feel great.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I ain't gonna like it took a lot.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
Yeah yeah, because I really didn't want to do it.
Pushed me in, so I was like, man, I'm not
gonna kill a vibe. Yeah, so you know, have fun
the only little ones.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
So they responded, yeah, yeah, but it's not a natural
thing because I was a natural energy bringer. Like they
knew when I came on the field, I'm gonna yap
it up. I'm fro the talk, like doing stretch. And
I never stretched like Deon told me, I ain't never
seen a cheetah stretch for you go hunt. So I
never stretched. I just went around to talk trash to everybody,
just had fun. Have that always been like a part
of your game or did you developed that?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Uh? For me, I don't really talk trash. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
I'm really like a calm collect I don't like to
waste my energy. I know, you know, people have different
you know, personalities, But for me, you know, I like
to consume my energy and once I get on the field,
I'm gonna just empty out the teak.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I know it's early on for you, but what's been
the biggest difference that you've noticed thus far as something
that maybe you didn't anticipate.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
I feel like I feel like it's pretty much the same.
You just have to, you know, don't go into on
the field at your own speed, you know, yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, play at everybody speed. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
So I feel like sometimes people get confused like college speed,
NFL speed. Be ready to go right now? I want
to hit the field. You know once the play start,
you gotta go fast man like.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
So it's like Ricky Bobby Man.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I would say the biggest difference for me was I
could I could waste steps in college and steer win
in the league.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Don't.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I couldn't waste those steps. Every step has to be
calculated and you have to think before I make this
decision on what I'm gonna do and my breaking on
this slant because he might be running the slug like.
So I always said, no wasted motion in the pros
compared to college.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, you just have to before you line up on
the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
You gotta have a plan. You gotta have a plan.
You gotta know what you want to do. Uh, get
to play, look at the formation, you know, just understand
your keys and you know, you know you're right.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Want to be like real focus? Yeah, you know.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
I feel like if you're not focused and you're just
being relaxed, that's where they're gonna get you.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You know, So you gotta always be a laser focused
every play. Higo.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
A funny thing most people don't know this. While Dion
was on the team, he still wrote twenty one. So
he ended up giving me the twenty one, but I
wote twenty three. I wote twenty three for my first
week and a half of practice, so we also got
that in coming.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Before we let you go.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
How nice is it to be you never know who's
gonna drafting. Of course, being a pros being a pro.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But this is an organization that has been on the
come up real quick, and so I would imagine being
part of that exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It's been a throat, man, it's been great.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
I can't lie like I'm so blessed, and you know,
coming where I'm from, it's just like the opportunity to
where like I could take it far and you know,
just helping the team, you know, just being a great teammate. Yeah,
and you know, I just want to win games at
the end of the day. So, uh, that's all I
have to say.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, Tredy appreciation.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
So I know we discussed him at the beginning of
the show, but listening to trades, howg you just feel
like he's already so comfortable.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
He's focused.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, he's focused, but he already feels like he's in
it and this is the place for him.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
And that's not always the case with the run.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
No, what I like to talk to him about was
the fact that he feel in the drift like I did.
And he said the same thing. I said, maybe this
is where I was supposed to be. The only way
I was gonna get here was falling in the drill.
So him to understand it at that age because I
locked mine in and I used it as fire. That's
why I came him out so fiery in my first year,
because I was like, I gotta get my respect back.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I feel like I lost some respect.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I like how he has a calmness and the colmness
and the grownness to him, very professional.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
What you were talking about this and when that calmness
and the personality reflects on the field and his technique
and comfort confidence, like a quiet confidence. And what I
saw today was a guy who was very understanding of
a skill set. When he got up in front of
the receivers whoever it was, it was Debo and anybody else,
he just was like, I got this.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It was like, do you want some peanut butter with this?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Jam?
Speaker 7 (26:36):
For sure?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Do you want some peanut butter with this James?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
I saw that I saw a guy who's who has
you know? And when you saw him in the sec
and Old Missing, you know, Old Missing, you know had
high expectations and obviously they didn't play well.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But I think he consistently played well. No, he played well.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
He showed, showed everything. Ranged athleticisms were off the chart.
So it wasn't he wasn't really why they weren't good.
Missis stink right God there of course, or Mace, but
him coming to Washington, being in a room across We
talked about being across from a guy like Latimore who
got it was a little more season, been all pro
(27:15):
learning from him with another young guy and Chrismuokern tell
you another young guy like Champ Bailey and Smoot were together.
So those guys gonna feed each other, you get to
learn from They're gonna learn to feed off each other.
So I just thinks, man, him being in that room, Man,
it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You know what I just thought about.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I just thought about the last time in that dB
room that they had left corner from Ohio State in
another right corner from Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We were the number one deepens in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Yeah, past defense, and we would have been like three
years in a row, but Smooth decided to go get
more money in Minnesota. But back on the But but
but to that point, you look at that secondary room
with Harris.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Kwan.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Yeah, I mean just and and you know what, man,
I saw knowing today and we're still talking about Amos
but all those guys are competing in the back and
from Epnogamy.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, he's still there.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I know it looked good today, man. And I can't
say his last night well, I know, no, I just
called him. But anyway, but man, I knew Amos was fast.
I did not know he was out technically sound.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Let's go from a rookie to a veteran of this
franchise and bringing as promised Erna that we got all
the great guests today.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Listen, hey, a Washingtonian, a guy that's true blue and
blue when it comes to the uh, the Washington Commander's team.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And that's what I got to exk you, Vernon from
the door.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Is is it starting to be a little nostalgic now
that the team is back on fire? Is it starting
to feel like the nineties again in Washington to you?
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Yeah, it's starting to feel man. It's amazing. I grew
up here in Washington, d C. And you know, being
able to play for my hometown team was amazing. But
thinking back in those days and seeing what's happening right
now is starting to feel a lot like it used
to be back in the day when I was a
young kid.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
But I love it, man, I like where we're at
right now.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah, how much does it mean to you that you
were part of that too?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Not necessarily what we're seeing right now, but you are
a part of the history here, and people when they
say Vernon Davis, they know Maryland, they know you were
part of this Washington club for a while, and they
appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
So I'm sure that feels good.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Yeah, No, it definitely does. It does feel good to
be a part of this. Man.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
I feel like I'm family, you know, like sitting with
guys like like Fred.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
It's just, you know, it's just it's just the caaraderie
that we have.
Speaker 10 (29:30):
Like outside of leaving the locker room and now being
in the real world and doing things after the game,
I still feel like I'm a part of this thing,
and that's what it's about.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
That's what I love about the Commanders.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
You know, everything that represents, you know, what this is,
from the fan base to the culture just everything.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
You know, I definitely feel like I'm at home. Hey.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
The funny part is, you went from being one of
the best tight ends of my generation, of our generation
to play the game most definitely the fastest tight end
our generation. And now you're you're transitioning to acting into movies.
And you know what, I will not forgive you for
choking Morgan Freeman in that movie. I will not forgive
you but take us down on how your transition to acting,
(30:15):
how it's being compared to your transition from college to
pros in the league.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Yeah, no, it's it's it's definitely some a lot of
similarities that when it comes to playing the game of
football and jumping in the in the space, when it
comes to acting, I think that those similarities are like
the just the preparation, you know what I mean, Like
on on Sundays, before the before that game, you got
to make sure you're completely prepared before you go out
on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
And that's what I made sure I was.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
I had that preparation, uh to a t and that
and now just like with acting, you had before you
step in front of that camera.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
You want to make sure you prepare, you got everything
your lines.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
You want to make sure you've you've done the work,
and doing the work is being able to you know,
give the character's identity from backstories to just finding your
overall objectives when it comes to you know, to the
scenes and the overall story.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Uh. And that's what it is all about.
Speaker 10 (31:05):
Understanding how how well do you understand whatever it is
that you're doing, you know, and that's what it's about.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Is it strange being a rookie again so to speak,
we're talking to rookie here where you're going into a
different are and you're like, okay, now now the new
guy again.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
You know.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
I love being a I love being at a space
where you where you where you're trying to figure things out,
because that's the part of the journey. It's like when
you when you when you're figuring things out, you can
appreciate it a lot more when you get to that
point where you really want to be you know what
I mean, when you achieve something because you think back
about the failures, you think about like just like the
ups and downs of whatever it is that you're doing,
(31:43):
and you know, you really appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
You find like it's something there.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
It does something to you when you make it out
of you know what you call. It's like, it's like
one of those things, man like when you like in
the game of football, when I'm when I'm in a
space where i just can't get out, like maybe I'm
dropping to many passes or you know, I'm not I'm
not getting the blocks that I want to get. It
feels the same, man like when and every other thing
and everything that I've done outside of the game.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, think about it. I gotta ask you about when
you play football. We practice, We practice five days a week,
so we get the routine we understand. In the acting field,
do you ever just call the co actor and say,
let's go over these lines, or do you go over
your lines with an acting coach or somebody else.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Yeah, No, you can do the same. You can do
the same with your with your with your co star.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
You can you can call up whoever you have seen
work with and and go over the scenes together kind
of get a feel for each other, going back and forth.
Or you can work with your coach. You know, for me,
I've always had a coach, and I feel like you
need that, you always need that. I mean, that's the
difference between being good and being great. You always understand
that there's someone out there that you can go to
when you need help or you need answers.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yep, So we have to ask you about Von Miller.
You play with Vaughan, You know Vaughn. What sort of
player are the commanders getting in Von and what's a
person are they getting?
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Oh? Yeah, I played with I won Super Bowl fifty
with a Melo.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
Hez a while he was he's a He was a
dynamic teammate man. He was just a great locker room guy.
Not only was he a great locker room guy, but
he was he was a true leader. He was you
know on the field, you knew, you knew what you
were getting. You know, his ability to get to the
quarterback is on parallel. I mean that guy is uh,
you know, in my eyes, he's just he's definitely a
first ballot Hall of Famer for sure. You know he's
(33:26):
I think he's in his fourteenth year. I believe at
fourteen and can still play the game at a high level.
You know that that's the testament to how he treated
his body and and you know, just being a great teammate.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
You know, guy, you know, coaches and organizations They.
Speaker 10 (33:42):
Don't want to deal with someone who who's not, you know,
a great human being. You know that's a great divan
is a great human you know, as well as a
great football player. So what Washington was able to do
with him, and you know, acquiring him is is just Man,
It's gonna be a great year.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
All right, let's just say I'm throw this out here
and I'm gonna give you a time to think on this.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Vernon. Let's just say I'm.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Writing this movie, the Vernon Davis, the Vernon Davis story.
All right, I'm writing this movie the King of DC.
Who plays Vernon Davis? Now, you've been around a lot
of actors, You've been around them. Who would you choose?
If you can handpick one actor to play Vernon Davis
in the Vernon Davis movie?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Who would it be?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Michael beat Jordan?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Oh wow, you can't do that. Michael B.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Jordan gotta play me in the Fred Smooth movie. Michael
Ain't Michael B.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Jordan too short to play Vernon Davis?
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I thought Jamie Fox was gonna play you. Man.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Nah No, I'm more Michael B. Jordan. Like, Michael B.
Jordan too short to play you? Vernon you're bigger. You
ask her the question.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
You're like, Nona, that's.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
My dude look on a film.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
You don't know that though he looks like he can
look like a giant on film.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
You know what he cast him. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You know who I would pick to play you another
former athlete, Amon Sharper.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I picked Amon Sharper to play you.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Okay, I can get I can get.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
With that, But I want to ask you another question
about von Miller here, because what it what will it
do leadership wise? I know you touched on that a
little bit because you knew what you were getting in Vaughn.
But to have a guy like Best who is a
part of this franchise, especially you know there's a there's
a good mix of veterans here, but some young guys too.
You can learn a lot from a future Hall of Famer.
Speaker 10 (35:24):
Yeah, oh yeah, definitely. You can learn a lot from
a future Hall of Famer. You can learn a lot
from a guy who's been playing the game for as
long as he has, even if he's not a Hall
of Famer, because he has he has experienced, he has time,
he put he put a lot of energy into his craft,
so I think, you know, not only are you getting
a great football player, a great teammate, and a great
locker room guy, but you're getting someone who who's also
(35:45):
a coach teacher. Yeah, he's that example of what you
want to be on the field and in the locker
room and in.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Life, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (35:54):
So, I, like I said, I think the Questioning Commanders
did a great job acquiring von Miller because they're they're
definitely getting everything they need and and and in the
in the in the player, everything that they need, and
and and and and that guy, right you know, that
(36:14):
is the guy. You know, that's that's what you want.
You know, when you when you you getting someone that's
bringing a lot to the team and a lot to
the locker room.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
That's that guy.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Well, right now they calling us the old folks, Homer Ashburn,
we have the oldest team in the NFL now, especially
that we signed von Miller. But are you shocked that
because you played well in a late age in your career,
especially when you was here, are you shocked that zach
Ertz is still playing at such a high level.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
As he is. No, No, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
I'm not shocked.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
I think Zach, you know, knowing him he's playing during
when I was playing, and you know, I you know
from hearing about you know, I don't know him.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
I'm not never really spent a lot of time with him.
Speaker 10 (36:52):
But if you're hearing hearing about how he you know,
takes care of his body, I'm not surprised because that's.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
That's the kids about longevity.
Speaker 10 (36:58):
If you take care of yourself, you're gonna it's gonna show.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
You know, he's done just that. So you know, I'm
proud of him. I'm happy for him.
Speaker 10 (37:05):
You know, I've had a chance to get to know
know him, but not at a you know, at a
level that you know I would like to, but uh,
you know.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
He's a he's he's.
Speaker 10 (37:14):
Doing well, you know, and he's still producing and he's
able to go out. And that's another guy that a
lot of these guys tight ends can come behind and
learn from.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Burntand it's interesting you always hear guys say that, you know,
you got to take care of your body when you
certainly understand why because it's a violent game. But as
you get older, how much more difficult is that to do?
When you play in the National Football League.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
I don't think it's I don't think it's difficult. I
think what you do is what you do is you.
Speaker 10 (37:43):
You create that over over the tenure, over your tenure.
You know, you just you created and you and what
happens is you become consistent at it.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
And we know what consistency does.
Speaker 10 (37:54):
Consistency and repetition does a lot of great things for you.
So when you when you do that, I know me
for when I was playing, you know, every year for
fourteen years, I did the same I had that same routine,
you know, and I and I wentn't even further when
taking care of my body doing during the off season.
You know, I didn't stop your chiropractic massage, stretching.
Speaker 7 (38:15):
I did it religiously.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
And that's how I was able to go fourteen years
without having surgery.
Speaker 7 (38:19):
I never had surgery. I never had surgery in my
entire career.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Yeah, man, that's that's oh really, yeah. I never had surgery.
I never got hurt below the waist. I never tore
my knee up, I never tore my ankle up. I
have no surgery scards. The only thing that I did
hurt vernon. I cracked my stern them and you know,
if you cracked your stern them, you just need.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
To play through it. You just got to wait for
it to heal.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
So I too, like you never had no surgeries, better
than Shawn Spring, who had like ninety three surgeries.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (38:50):
See that's that's why I see, that's why, that's why
you were able to play the way you played, you know,
at a high level for all those years and even

Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yeah, I'm saying, is I have I'm a good time
coordinator to see y'all doing a show from Bermuda or
somewhere like that. Bro, Well, you know it depends our budget.
Ain't quite there yet, but we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
We're getting there.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah, We're getting there, man, one step at the time.
That why we need y'all to vote for us for
that award for the podcast of the Funniest podcast Sports podcast.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Vote for Get Loud Podcast Awards dot com.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
That's Podcast Awards dot com.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
All right, before we go, and his brain child there,
this is a good one. Rate the take, right, So
I'm gonna give you a take and you tell me
if it's on the money or an airball.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Hate it did?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
Speaking of haters, the Commander's roster.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Is too old. Hated it first of all.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
No, the one thing you got on here is you
got a wealth of knowledge, you got a wealth of brainchild,
and you got older guys in the right spot. Think
about it, Von Miller. We want you to come rush
on these downs at this time. A right, Bobby Wagner like,
we're gonna make sure we get bigger guys in front
of you to keep you clean.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
So all the guys that we got with.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
Some age on them, they they yellow jackets like Vonon
Miller yellow jacket, Bobby Watting a yellow jacket. The age
guys on this team bring a lot more than just
football playing to this team.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
I don't like the word.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Oh, let's try using the word more like season unmature,
that mature, mature, essional mature.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
That's a better mature. So I hated that all right.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Some fans think von Miller will not help with.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
The pass rush. You must guys haven't been watching football.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
Of course he's gonna help. Yeah, I'm gonna say, you know,
first of all, his respect. He earned that respect around
the league. So when you see him out there run
on the field, he can whoop anybody in front of him.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yes, and you gotta know that well in a step.
Speaker 6 (44:45):
Smooth just told us early in the show that he
still got the quickest step in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah. That's you know what, when you're.
Speaker 6 (44:50):
Thirty six, you might not have all sixteen games, Yeah,
but you got fifteen players a game.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
And guess what.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Every quarterback in the NFL, when he walks to their
line of scrimmage, they alert, They go twenty four. He's
an alert item twenty four is right there. So as
long as they still looking for him to find him,
he got the respect around the league. Sometime you don't
need the respect of the fans. You just need to
respect of your peers, that's right.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
I think I know the answer to this. I know
what you guys are gonna say. But the biggest roster
battle will be in what position?
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Group B live? Where's the beef like them? Guys?
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Listen, it's so many guys with the same body types,
big dudes, and you know we're a rotation team.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yep. So it's when they always say this about good teams.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
If you're a good team, in the end of training camp,
you're gonna cut some good players. We're gonna be one
of those teams that cut some good players. And you
watch the players we cut, they won't be on the
wire for more than twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
They will be picked up. I tell that agree. It's
in D line.
Speaker 6 (45:48):
And the reason why that's a good thing is because
we talked about we gotta pushed around last year in
the MBC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
So you know what to make sure that you're really
good up front.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
You're gonna go revamp everything, making super competitive so that
you know you make this roster.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah yeah at the d line. Yeah, we know what.
We legit.
Speaker 4 (46:07):
You legit, hey, right the time to get our pockets.

What are some of the things when.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
You guys have the expertise, you've been there, what are
some of the things that you're seeing out there?
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Well, day two. You know, first days, you know, get
the gits out day two. This excitement still there, But
I don't think it's fabricated excitement. I think it's like
these guys playing at our fifteen minutes yesterday Today was
pretty short. These guys playing at a high level.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
You know what I saw today?
Speaker 6 (02:19):
I saw defense that was making a quarterback come off
the first read, flying around, and some studs out there
on both sides and bomb man.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Sean, do you get jealous like I do now watching
these guys go through two days and they don't even
practice two times a day anymore? Like how long could
you have played in the in this era? Not as
rough for y'all and not hard as practice.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Well, I pride myself being a guy who ushered in
this era cause smooth to tell you won't.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Get to practy.
Speaker 6 (02:49):
Practice the way that I wasn't gonna practice for a
time straight.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
It wasn't gonna happen. Man, something I came up. He's
not lying. I can give you this.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
If anybody ever said, you know what I'm gonna dictate
on how I take care of my body, it was
shunned because he would do it at just.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
The oddest time, like we'll be into me.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
He very studious. Yeah, nothing's wrong with him, not hurt
nowt you know, we come out to practice, he got
on sweats.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I'm ahead of my time, Like it's gonna be like
this one day.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
It's wow to tell you're talking about that coach Gibbs man.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
And he didn't believe in like he didn't think there
was any problem with time, like a practice is supposed
to be like a I don't half to three hours,
it could be three and a half hours, four hours
of Coach Gibbs act like that was he's.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Still pushing us to the core, like he's still he
challenges us. Did he want to take the heat into account?
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Listen, one day, no football, No, this this is what
he called Washington weather.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's Washington.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I remember one day we coming out and the players
try to get me to go talk to coach before
cause they know coach me and Coach GiB pretty tight,
and they like, man, it's gonna rain. Man, we might
don't even be going up there. So I go talk
to coach and coach like, now, smooth, you know this
this Washington weather, baby, So we get out there. You know,
we get out there and we scratch it. When we scratch,
I walk around, it start to pour. Then that lightning hit.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Pay him.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Once the lightning hit, we don't have to ask coach.
Everybody just runs there. So I won the coach while
were running up and I just look at him like
it took Jesus to throw lightning for you, for you
to ease up on us. Like listen, Coach Gibb as
nice as he is, very demanding now, very demand.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
And you see that in the practice with Dan.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
You know dPQ and this and this and the roster
that item, and the organization is built. Man, this canna
be so competitive and demanding. Man, I love to see that.
Its iron shops iron.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But we always start off defensively faster than the office
at this time and year. My birthday brother in kaun
Morten got a pick in the red zone to day
and I thought it was very intelligent. The first two
days they have major in red zone, they're not they're
not pushing the field because they understand it where the
soft tess injuries happen very quickly. We just throw them
right in to the fire. He's building them up and
(05:03):
I think that's very very smart. But once that outfense
timing comes around, maybe day five, day six, now everything
will be on even playingground.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
So you just mentioned kwal Martin and you said before
he went on the air, and we're gonna talk to
treyas coming up later on the show, and talked to
her Davis as well.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
You said, Trey looks nice.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Well, you know, we just corners by. You know a
lot of times when your rookie, the game move fast
and I'm watching him and he's getting in his stance
and he's so comfortable.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
He's under control and smart.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
To tell you, a lot of young corners are plays generator. Yeah, man,
this guy looked like he's been playing corner for like
twenty years.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Man.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Maybe he had that Trey Amos one of my own
names and.
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Something, but no, seriously, he was He was like a
veteran man.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He kicks step, slide, good position.
Speaker 6 (05:48):
He looks like a guy like, oh, he can be
all pro in a couple of years.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Like, so, do you think for two years in a row?
You know they did hit on me in the second round. Yeah,
I hate to toot my own horn. Two check this out, Mike,
you think two years in a row. We got Mikey
Simum still in the second round last year. This year
we got Trey Amiens. Do you think two years in
the row we hit on corners the corners of the
future for this team.
Speaker 6 (06:12):
I think we got some guys who not only the
corners of the future for this organization, but they got
some guys that could be Pro Bowl like Pro bowlers
and like perennial All Pro.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
We saw a smooth We.
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Talked about even last year on the podcast that Mikey.
We saw him at the beginning of the year and
he was good against solid, against Mike Evans. He was
challenging guys. Then week five, week six, we noticed like, man,
this boy get better.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
This really good real quick.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
We were like, hey, we moved inside, he didn't move outside,
and we was like, man, this boy. We saw him
in the Philly game, right you know, before the playoffs.
We was like, man, this kid is challenging everybody.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Right then we're getting the playoff game against Detroit. He
gets two picks.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
So we we talked about it all year, like usually
rookies or people get better the second year.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
All the time.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
Yeah, man, I was like, man, this kid is By
the end of the year he was one of the
best corners in the league. Yes, and I feel that
amous is the same way he is. Man this kid.
If we got a bon five starter and you know,
playing on the opposite side, a lot of more Yeah,
a lot of more earns out of respect, but a
lot of the more might be getting more balls if
that kid keep playing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Oh no, no, no.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
That's the whole thing about corners, like to really say
you've got the pedigree of a great corner. If you're
playing opposite of a great corner, you don't answer that
question until you make them throw back at the great corner,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So it always helps the secondary when you get great
pressure up front. And we've asked we're gonna talk with
Vernon Davis about von Milico, but we haven't asked your opinion.
What do you think he can add to this team?
Been around a long time, but certainly in big spots
he could come up huge.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
Well, first of all, for a guy like vonn and
choose this organization where he could have went anywhere, not
even came to.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Know it feels good to be the ring chasing Team's
a ring chasing team so far for the fact that
Vaughn decided that you know what, I'm gonna show up
the camp.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
I'm gonna come to Washington. He sees something in this organization.
And obviously he has a he has a relationship with
Adam him and drafted him, so he has a relationship
with him.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But what I saw is a guy short.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
First at training camp, knowing that DQ and Everybody's gonna
take care. But he showed like he still got it.
Got great first step, light hands, he did all the drill.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
He had the quickest get off in the NFL last year.
Is a thirty five year old. They clocked him at
one point five second, which was the higher any defensive rusher.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
So and I and I think was overlooked with Varnis
because he's so athletic, people don't talk about his footworking
technique is amazing. He got straight on, yeah, he got spend, moved,
he got speed, power, he got counters and SO and
I think and Smooking probably talk to you. But as
you get later in your career, you know that your
your role changes. Right, I don't have to be the
(08:49):
guy on first three down. I don't need to beat it.
I don't I don't need to be that superstar. You know,
I don't have to have fifteen sacks. You know what
I do need that I might need to have six
and big moments, right, So so he knows that when
the playoffs hits the big games, who's gonna be that
guy you can count on and step up and say,
you know what, I might need to make a play.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
He's been doing it. He's he's to me.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
The value he's gonna bring to this defense is similar
to what JD five does on offense, being.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
A force smoke to play.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
His presence alone is gonna unlock everybody else on the
defensive front because when that offense comes to the line,
they're gonna be like, fine, twenty four, we need to
know where the pass rush is coming from. That allows
Frankie Loot who on the backside, to get going. That
allows that's a very good point, now, Frankie. That allows
Jason Newton the run pain and inside ken Law to
(09:40):
get one on one. He unlocks everybody on the front.
So if you look at it, I think he has
the ability. Von Miller has the ability to go plush
two on everybody else on the front. So if they
was gonna have four sacks, now he just turned it
into six sex.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I think that changes everything.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And we got so big with big bodies like d
Wise Ken law we learned from last year getting pushed
around on first down. Let's win first down and earn
the right to pass rush on third down. So that's
what von Miller is gonna bring to this team. But
that's why we got reinforcements. And what I feel like
is the most crowded room. You got Lawrence, you got,
(10:23):
you got who Barroll, you got, you got Cleveland Farrell,
you got Dietrich, wise Home, you got like Paying. You
got so many guys in this front. That's gonna be
the difference in this team. I think the NFC Championship
game taught us we gotta get bigger, we gotta get stronger,
and that's what we did.
Speaker 6 (10:41):
And I think it's a smooth point. They all looked
the part. That's one thing. It's one thing when you
look at a team like this guy's little short of
this guy, a little thick.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Of this man.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
All these guys look like, hey man, I don't know
who getting off the bus for your verse.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Look. I don't think we do that as football players.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
We sit in the big boys off the bus first,
it's intimidation, just.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
To let them know I'm like the listener wild while
I'm not there. Ye ya ya yea yea yeah yah yeah,
but you're hide behind the bulldog. Yeah the whole I'm
yapping right.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
So there's a depth on the defensive line now, I
know that was kind of an issue coming in, but
now there's a lot of guys who could rotate in.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
How much cut some good players? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
How much will to help this team late? Because that
was an issue last year, which is they would get
some pressure but had a hard time doing it late
in the third or in the fourth court.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
We're here, go think about it. We was getting pressure
blitzing Frankie Luvu. Now Frankie lou was gonna be playing
off the edge naturally. So can we do what Philadelphia
did and get pressure with four? Because if you can
do that, if you can get pressure with four, it
allows you to drop people into coverage and play different coverages.
That allows you to stop some of these great quarterbacks.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
And another thing you got to think about, pressure and
coverage goes together. So when you up upgrade the back
end and guys and they get the first base, they
stick on the first break and makes the quarterback hold
it just a second longer.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, man, and we did that. We up late.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
We got bigger up front, and we got more athletic
in the back end, faster in the back end.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, you're big and you're fast.
Speaker 6 (12:12):
That makes that makes it. And God and Smooth talking
about the versatility. Yeah, like we got guys like Jones,
who Jones, Jonathan Jones who can play.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Inside, outside, left corner rock.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Play man plays yea hearings from the same me and
Harris could play free sect, nicol everything.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So when you have Mikey can play inside and outside. Yeah.
So when you have that.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Type of versatility and depth, man, you got a powerful combination.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So Smooth hate lists. I hate rankings, so of course
they so of course there for us.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah yeah, yeah, Fred Hates's lists.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
What it says, right, I hate film because all right,
let gonna tell you when the lists come out, when
it's no sports going on, when it's no football going
everybody dropped list. Yes, nobody knows what they talking about.
Most of them never played sports. And you're gonna tell
me this guy better than this guy, and you ain't
watching no for him. All you did was look at numbers.
My numbers might be different than here because I play
(13:10):
mostly man the man he plays home all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
So I was always top of the list. So it
didn't bother mem You didn't need to look like number one,
number one, want to number two. I keep on because
I keep going.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, I'm just saying most of the times they are relevant,
like when they come out, when they come out with
the top one hundred players, I be looking at the
list like really, really all right? Because every year if
you want to just put Patrick Mahons at number one,
if that's what you want to.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Do, not necessarily they can't be an argument that.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Don't mean your argument right, Like don't come telling me
I'm gonna put Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen in front
of Patrick mahon when he just continuously goes to the
soup Bowl, Like, no, they're not better than him because.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
They can't beat him.
Speaker 6 (13:56):
But Michael Parsons could arguably be the best player in
the NFL.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
But his value is not like the value of a quarterback.
Yeah it's not, that's true. It's not is it going
by the value? Is it going about like this? What
is what make the list all bes? Like this didn't
because it's no value scale. It's no value scale. And
like this if you say.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Not to bring up any defensive players from dollars, but I.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Mean, the kid is unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
You know, Michael Parson, all right, but many people say
Miles Garrett is better. Y, So people say TJ. White
off the edge a little better. So to each his own.
What I'm saying is to each his own. Nobody list
is really correct.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
You don't like lest we get it.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
The only reason I mentioned this is because ESPN at
a football power Index list and they listed every team's
chance to win the Super Bowl, Eagles number one to
twelve percent, chiefs at eleven persons.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Why would the Eagles be at twelve percent when it's
already hard to go back to back to the Super Bowl?
You ever heard of a Super Bowl hangover? That's it's
already hard to do that. They looked up in the
health department last year. Sure, you think you're gonna be
healthy twenty four months in a row.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
All right, that's why it's only twelve percent.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
I think if you ask most people that say it's
a higher percentage, No, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's hard, all right? Who we got it well.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
We got the Ravens at four to nine percent, Lions
at five eight percent, and Commanders at six five percent.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Chance, that's pretty good. The Lions are lower than the Lions.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Right under the Lions.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
First of all, we went to Detroit, went to the
Ford dealership and kicked in every car in Detroit.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
We went the motown. I think we're better than the Lions.
Speaker 6 (15:43):
I was both coordinators, Ben Jonson, how much is I
gonna remember when.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Hurt the Lion? Don't forget Red No, the center? He retired.
He retired, all right? Ain't Hutchesson coming out for injury?
A major injury? All right?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Jared Goff showed you I threw a pick. If you
get a little pressure on me, my quarterback better than yours.
Why are they ranked higher than us?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
We really forced our offensive line. They lost they center.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
All right, we're better than him on the defensive front.
We're better than him on the back end. Like who
made the list? ESPN made the list? Thank you?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
And that concludes the list of the.
Speaker 6 (16:22):
List I like, and they take list.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Only list I like is the smooth family cookbook that
been handed down for nine generations of schmoots. That's the
only thing is this considered the list a list of recipes.
Speaker 6 (16:40):
That's the only one I became with a warm year off.
And you even gotta put an astisk by that. Food
is excellent, but your cholesterol and blood pressure go up.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It happened. This dude been hating no manyway decades. You're right,
you're right, decade, You're right, food is excellent.
Speaker 8 (16:53):
Well one not gonna head on Trey Amos, Yes, stud
rookie out of old mess and he's gonna we finally
made it to camp and already that's the labs are
coming in. Yes, I mean, when you talk about guys
who people are excited about.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Seeing trainers, is definitely one of those why not?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You know what? I hate to toot my own horn.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It kind of remind me of the five seconds second
I was a long corner.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
I like to talk to their trash. I like to
have fun when I was doing tray.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Checked this out when I checked in for my first
mini camp practice. When I walked in the dB room,
it was Dion Sanders, Champ Bailey and Dale Green right,
So when.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
I walked in, I walked right back out and say
why y'all dreamed me. What was this fuck?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
They told me come on back in here because we're
gonna teach you how to play the game. Well, you,
how did you feel when you walked in and it
was Marshall and Latimore, Mikey Sandrich Still and some of
the guys you got perfect talking to it.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
I feel like it was like a perfect opportunity, you know,
just to learn from them.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Yep, and like I.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
Just wanted to, uh bring the best foot forward. Yeah,
and you know everything's work out for itself, you know,
just keep on a levelheaded and you know, just being positive,
just ready to work.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Yep. You and I love too.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
I mean you were saying this before he went on,
which is in any work situation when you're new, you
never know how you're going to be treated, how you're
gonna be accepted. You say it from the start like
it's been Hey, welcome, we got you to learning process.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
But you're part of the team here.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, it's a real brotherhood.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Yeah, because people talk brotherhood but they don't show it
all the time, but they show it over here for sure.
So you know, all I can say, like I appreciate that,
you know, the transitions been smooth. Everything, you know, everything
been great. Yep, can't complain at all.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Well when they talk about coach Wit, I had to
play against coach with when I was playing, when he
played in green when he coached in Green Bay, he
had Charles Woodson and Al Harris when he played. I
mean he coached and the Cowboys, you know, Trevor and
Diggs and Wins of those guys. Have you looked at
some of those guys and say, you know what these
guys led to the league in interceptions when they played
in this defense.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Maybe I could do the same thing in it exactly.
Speaker 9 (18:52):
So like we be watching all those guys you know
in film film room trying to get their technique and
you know, just trying to like, you know, get one
percent better every day.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
So uh, being of course with he gonna put put
us in.
Speaker 9 (19:06):
Like positions to like make plays, you know, just just
play free.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Yeah, he's turnty much a dB friendly defense, like and
sometimes it's not because my first defense with because Shannenheimer,
they just basically put me champing Dale, Green on the
island and say, you know, y'all go out there and
y'all just handle it, and we're gonna do the rest
what we're gonna do here, but to play in a
dB friendly defense, especially as a rookie, I think it
actually gives you a chance to ease your way into
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Is there is there?
Speaker 9 (19:31):
I just I just have that like you just have
to be a corner. You just have to have that
dog mentality.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:37):
So I just keep that to a high standard, you know,
starting with a routine, knowing what you want to do
the time you do it, and you know, just execute
and I feel like you're gonna have a career every
single day.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Now it's a Mississippi State bulldog. I gotta ask you.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
All right now, my daughter Paris Smooth, she's at Old
Miss right now, she's a sophomore ed old so old
missus takes my money as we speak. What made you
choose when you left Alabama? What made you choose Old Miss?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I'm sure you had other suitors, right, what made you
choose old Miss?
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Okay, So.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
When I was in a portal the first time, Old
Miss was running up to Obama.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Oh right.
Speaker 9 (20:18):
So when I entered the port of the second time,
I had Pete Golden you know in my head, the
DC and it was just like a natural fit, like
natural fit. Yeah, and he was just like, come on man.
I was just like, hey, I'm going you know, I
already knew what.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I had to do. Yeah. I just trusted my gut
and it worked out. Did that help you?
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Because you know, in the old school day and not
too long ago, you know, you might spend three four
years at one school and here you're going to big
time universities and Obama Ole Miss. You're going to those
different situations and adjusting on the fly and maybe help
you here a little bit because you're already having to
make those adjustments in the previous couple of years.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Nah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (20:59):
So when I first transfer the first time to Bama,
it was a great like transition, Yeah, but like you know,
everything new, you know, new coaches, new players, you.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Know you gotta get along with.
Speaker 9 (21:10):
But when I went to Old Miss, I already had
the idea where like I had a plan, like you know,
to get comfortable with the team as fast as possible
and you know, just go out there and just be
the best thing I can be.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Our players kind of we either have somebody we look
up to when we're in like high school, like Dion
Saanders was there for me, Like I kind of modeled
everything at the D I WoT number tween one in
high school and one I WoT two in college.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Like I mimic everything.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Did you have a player that you like, I want
to play like him when I when I get to
that point, did you have a player?
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Okay, growing up, I was a QB.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
I was a quarterback, so I was really much athlete, right, yeah,
Mike big Man.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Playing Madden.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
You know this is I forgot which one was it?
Six o seven? Was it the cover using him? And
you know I just brought it out to the field.
You know, is that and wasn't it? I don't think
it was too long ago. Maybe been during mini camp
where I think you were out there leading the dance.
Like people were like, like, so you already like bring
(22:19):
it in with the team, which has to feel great.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
I ain't gonna like it took a lot.
Speaker 9 (22:24):
Yeah yeah, because I really didn't want to do it.
Pushed me in, so I was like, man, I'm not
gonna kill a vibe. Yeah, so you know, have fun
the only little ones.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
So they responded, yeah, yeah, but it's not a natural
thing because I was a natural energy bringer. Like they
knew when I came on the field, I'm gonna yap
it up. I'm fro the talk, like doing stretch. And
I never stretched like Deon told me, I ain't never
seen a cheetah stretch for you go hunt. So I
never stretched. I just went around to talk trash to everybody,
just had fun. Have that always been like a part
of your game or did you developed that?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Uh? For me, I don't really talk trash. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:57):
I'm really like a calm collect I don't like to
waste my energy. I know, you know, people have different
you know, personalities, But for me, you know, I like
to consume my energy and once I get on the field,
I'm gonna just empty out the teak.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I know it's early on for you, but what's been
the biggest difference that you've noticed thus far as something
that maybe you didn't anticipate.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
I feel like I feel like it's pretty much the same.
You just have to, you know, don't go into on
the field at your own speed, you know, yeah?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, play at everybody speed. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (23:26):
So I feel like sometimes people get confused like college speed,
NFL speed. Be ready to go right now? I want
to hit the field. You know once the play start,
you gotta go fast man like.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
So it's like Ricky Bobby Man.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
I would say the biggest difference for me was I
could I could waste steps in college and steer win
in the league.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Don't.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
I couldn't waste those steps. Every step has to be
calculated and you have to think before I make this
decision on what I'm gonna do and my breaking on
this slant because he might be running the slug like.
So I always said, no wasted motion in the pros
compared to college.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, you just have to before you line up on
the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
You gotta have a plan. You gotta have a plan.
You gotta know what you want to do. Uh, get
to play, look at the formation, you know, just understand
your keys and you know, you know you're right.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Want to be like real focus? Yeah, you know.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
I feel like if you're not focused and you're just
being relaxed, that's where they're gonna get you.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You know, So you gotta always be a laser focused
every play. Higo.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
A funny thing most people don't know this. While Dion
was on the team, he still wrote twenty one. So
he ended up giving me the twenty one, but I
wote twenty three. I wote twenty three for my first
week and a half of practice, so we also got
that in coming.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Before we let you go.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
How nice is it to be you never know who's
gonna drafting. Of course, being a pros being a pro.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But this is an organization that has been on the
come up real quick, and so I would imagine being
part of that exciting.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
It's been a throat, man, it's been great.
Speaker 9 (25:03):
I can't lie like I'm so blessed, and you know,
coming where I'm from, it's just like the opportunity to
where like I could take it far and you know,
just helping the team, you know, just being a great teammate. Yeah,
and you know, I just want to win games at
the end of the day. So, uh, that's all I
have to say.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, Tredy appreciation.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
So I know we discussed him at the beginning of
the show, but listening to trades, howg you just feel
like he's already so comfortable.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
He's focused.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, he's focused, but he already feels like he's in
it and this is the place for him.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
And that's not always the case with the run.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
No, what I like to talk to him about was
the fact that he feel in the drift like I did.
And he said the same thing. I said, maybe this
is where I was supposed to be. The only way
I was gonna get here was falling in the drill.
So him to understand it at that age because I
locked mine in and I used it as fire. That's
why I came him out so fiery in my first year,
because I was like, I gotta get my respect back.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I feel like I lost some respect.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
I like how he has a calmness and the colmness
and the grownness to him, very professional.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
What you were talking about this and when that calmness
and the personality reflects on the field and his technique
and comfort confidence, like a quiet confidence. And what I
saw today was a guy who was very understanding of
a skill set. When he got up in front of
the receivers whoever it was, it was Debo and anybody else,
he just was like, I got this.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It was like, do you want some peanut butter with this?
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Jam?
Speaker 7 (26:36):
For sure?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Do you want some peanut butter with this James?
Speaker 6 (26:39):
I saw that I saw a guy who's who has
you know? And when you saw him in the sec
and Old Missing, you know, Old Missing, you know had
high expectations and obviously they didn't play well.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But I think he consistently played well. No, he played well.
Speaker 6 (26:53):
He showed, showed everything. Ranged athleticisms were off the chart.
So it wasn't he wasn't really why they weren't good.
Missis stink right God there of course, or Mace, but
him coming to Washington, being in a room across We
talked about being across from a guy like Latimore who
got it was a little more season, been all pro
(27:15):
learning from him with another young guy and Chrismuokern tell
you another young guy like Champ Bailey and Smoot were together.
So those guys gonna feed each other, you get to
learn from They're gonna learn to feed off each other.
So I just thinks, man, him being in that room, Man,
it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
You know what I just thought about.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
I just thought about the last time in that dB
room that they had left corner from Ohio State in
another right corner from Mississippi.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
We were the number one deepens in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
Yeah, past defense, and we would have been like three
years in a row, but Smooth decided to go get
more money in Minnesota. But back on the But but
but to that point, you look at that secondary room
with Harris.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
Kwan.
Speaker 6 (27:57):
Yeah, I mean just and and you know what, man,
I saw knowing today and we're still talking about Amos
but all those guys are competing in the back and
from Epnogamy.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, he's still there.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I know it looked good today, man. And I can't
say his last night well, I know, no, I just
called him. But anyway, but man, I knew Amos was fast.
I did not know he was out technically sound.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Let's go from a rookie to a veteran of this
franchise and bringing as promised Erna that we got all
the great guests today.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Listen, hey, a Washingtonian, a guy that's true blue and
blue when it comes to the uh, the Washington Commander's team.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And that's what I got to exk you, Vernon from
the door.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Is is it starting to be a little nostalgic now
that the team is back on fire? Is it starting
to feel like the nineties again in Washington to you?
Speaker 10 (28:48):
Yeah, it's starting to feel man. It's amazing. I grew
up here in Washington, d C. And you know, being
able to play for my hometown team was amazing. But
thinking back in those days and seeing what's happening right
now is starting to feel a lot like it used
to be back in the day when I was a
young kid.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
But I love it, man, I like where we're at
right now.
Speaker 4 (29:06):
Yeah, how much does it mean to you that you
were part of that too?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Not necessarily what we're seeing right now, but you are
a part of the history here, and people when they
say Vernon Davis, they know Maryland, they know you were
part of this Washington club for a while, and they
appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
So I'm sure that feels good.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
Yeah, No, it definitely does. It does feel good to
be a part of this. Man.
Speaker 10 (29:23):
I feel like I'm family, you know, like sitting with
guys like like Fred.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
It's just, you know, it's just it's just the caaraderie
that we have.
Speaker 10 (29:30):
Like outside of leaving the locker room and now being
in the real world and doing things after the game,
I still feel like I'm a part of this thing,
and that's what it's about.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
That's what I love about the Commanders.
Speaker 10 (29:41):
You know, everything that represents, you know, what this is,
from the fan base to the culture just everything.
Speaker 7 (29:49):
You know, I definitely feel like I'm at home. Hey.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
The funny part is, you went from being one of
the best tight ends of my generation, of our generation
to play the game most definitely the fastest tight end
our generation. And now you're you're transitioning to acting into movies.
And you know what, I will not forgive you for
choking Morgan Freeman in that movie. I will not forgive
you but take us down on how your transition to acting,
(30:15):
how it's being compared to your transition from college to
pros in the league.
Speaker 10 (30:20):
Yeah, no, it's it's it's definitely some a lot of
similarities that when it comes to playing the game of
football and jumping in the in the space, when it
comes to acting, I think that those similarities are like
the just the preparation, you know what I mean, Like
on on Sundays, before the before that game, you got
to make sure you're completely prepared before you go out
on Sunday.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
And that's what I made sure I was.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
I had that preparation, uh to a t and that
and now just like with acting, you had before you
step in front of that camera.
Speaker 7 (30:48):
You want to make sure you prepare, you got everything
your lines.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
You want to make sure you've you've done the work,
and doing the work is being able to you know,
give the character's identity from backstories to just finding your
overall objectives when it comes to you know, to the
scenes and the overall story.
Speaker 7 (31:04):
Uh. And that's what it is all about.
Speaker 10 (31:05):
Understanding how how well do you understand whatever it is
that you're doing, you know, and that's what it's about.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Is it strange being a rookie again so to speak,
we're talking to rookie here where you're going into a
different are and you're like, okay, now now the new
guy again.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
You know.
Speaker 10 (31:21):
I love being a I love being at a space
where you where you where you're trying to figure things out,
because that's the part of the journey. It's like when
you when you when you're figuring things out, you can
appreciate it a lot more when you get to that
point where you really want to be you know what
I mean, when you achieve something because you think back
about the failures, you think about like just like the
ups and downs of whatever it is that you're doing,
(31:43):
and you know, you really appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (31:46):
You find like it's something there.
Speaker 10 (31:48):
It does something to you when you make it out
of you know what you call. It's like, it's like
one of those things, man like when you like in
the game of football, when I'm when I'm in a
space where i just can't get out, like maybe I'm
dropping to many passes or you know, I'm not I'm
not getting the blocks that I want to get. It
feels the same, man like when and every other thing
and everything that I've done outside of the game.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Well, think about it. I gotta ask you about when
you play football. We practice, We practice five days a week,
so we get the routine we understand. In the acting field,
do you ever just call the co actor and say,
let's go over these lines, or do you go over
your lines with an acting coach or somebody else.
Speaker 7 (32:27):
Yeah, No, you can do the same. You can do
the same with your with your with your co star.
Speaker 10 (32:31):
You can you can call up whoever you have seen
work with and and go over the scenes together kind
of get a feel for each other, going back and forth.
Or you can work with your coach. You know, for me,
I've always had a coach, and I feel like you
need that, you always need that. I mean, that's the
difference between being good and being great. You always understand
that there's someone out there that you can go to
when you need help or you need answers.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Yep, So we have to ask you about Von Miller.
You play with Vaughan, You know Vaughn. What sort of
player are the commanders getting in Von and what's a
person are they getting?
Speaker 7 (33:01):
Oh? Yeah, I played with I won Super Bowl fifty
with a Melo.
Speaker 10 (33:04):
Hez a while he was he's a He was a
dynamic teammate man. He was just a great locker room guy.
Not only was he a great locker room guy, but
he was he was a true leader. He was you
know on the field, you knew, you knew what you
were getting. You know, his ability to get to the
quarterback is on parallel. I mean that guy is uh,
you know, in my eyes, he's just he's definitely a
first ballot Hall of Famer for sure. You know he's
(33:26):
I think he's in his fourteenth year. I believe at
fourteen and can still play the game at a high level.
You know that that's the testament to how he treated
his body and and you know, just being a great teammate.
Speaker 7 (33:39):
You know, guy, you know, coaches and organizations They.
Speaker 10 (33:42):
Don't want to deal with someone who who's not, you know,
a great human being. You know that's a great divan
is a great human you know, as well as a
great football player. So what Washington was able to do
with him, and you know, acquiring him is is just Man,
It's gonna be a great year.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
All right, let's just say I'm throw this out here
and I'm gonna give you a time to think on this.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Vernon. Let's just say I'm.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Writing this movie, the Vernon Davis, the Vernon Davis story.
All right, I'm writing this movie the King of DC.
Who plays Vernon Davis? Now, you've been around a lot
of actors, You've been around them. Who would you choose?
If you can handpick one actor to play Vernon Davis
in the Vernon Davis movie?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Who would it be?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
Michael beat Jordan?
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Oh wow, you can't do that. Michael B.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Jordan gotta play me in the Fred Smooth movie. Michael
Ain't Michael B.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Jordan too short to play Vernon Davis?
Speaker 7 (34:36):
I thought Jamie Fox was gonna play you. Man.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Nah No, I'm more Michael B. Jordan. Like, Michael B.
Jordan too short to play you? Vernon you're bigger. You
ask her the question.
Speaker 5 (34:44):
You're like, Nona, that's.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
My dude look on a film.
Speaker 10 (34:48):
You don't know that though he looks like he can
look like a giant on film.
Speaker 7 (34:52):
You know what he cast him. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
You know who I would pick to play you another
former athlete, Amon Sharper.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I picked Amon Sharper to play you.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Okay, I can get I can get.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
With that, But I want to ask you another question
about von Miller here, because what it what will it
do leadership wise? I know you touched on that a
little bit because you knew what you were getting in Vaughn.
But to have a guy like Best who is a
part of this franchise, especially you know there's a there's
a good mix of veterans here, but some young guys too.
You can learn a lot from a future Hall of Famer.
Speaker 10 (35:24):
Yeah, oh yeah, definitely. You can learn a lot from
a future Hall of Famer. You can learn a lot
from a guy who's been playing the game for as
long as he has, even if he's not a Hall
of Famer, because he has he has experienced, he has time,
he put he put a lot of energy into his craft,
so I think, you know, not only are you getting
a great football player, a great teammate, and a great
locker room guy, but you're getting someone who who's also
(35:45):
a coach teacher. Yeah, he's that example of what you
want to be on the field and in the locker
room and in.
Speaker 7 (35:51):
Life, you know what I mean.
Speaker 10 (35:54):
So, I, like I said, I think the Questioning Commanders
did a great job acquiring von Miller because they're they're
definitely getting everything they need and and and in the
in the in the player, everything that they need, and
and and and and that guy, right you know, that
(36:14):
is the guy. You know, that's that's what you want.
You know, when you when you you getting someone that's
bringing a lot to the team and a lot to
the locker room.
Speaker 7 (36:22):
That's that guy.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Well, right now they calling us the old folks, Homer Ashburn,
we have the oldest team in the NFL now, especially
that we signed von Miller. But are you shocked that
because you played well in a late age in your career,
especially when you was here, are you shocked that zach
Ertz is still playing at such a high level.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
As he is. No, No, I'm not.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
I'm not shocked.
Speaker 10 (36:44):
I think Zach, you know, knowing him he's playing during
when I was playing, and you know, I you know
from hearing about you know, I don't know him.
Speaker 7 (36:50):
I'm not never really spent a lot of time with him.
Speaker 10 (36:52):
But if you're hearing hearing about how he you know,
takes care of his body, I'm not surprised because that's.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
That's the kids about longevity.
Speaker 10 (36:58):
If you take care of yourself, you're gonna it's gonna show.
Speaker 7 (37:01):
You know, he's done just that. So you know, I'm
proud of him. I'm happy for him.
Speaker 10 (37:05):
You know, I've had a chance to get to know
know him, but not at a you know, at a
level that you know I would like to, but uh,
you know.
Speaker 7 (37:12):
He's a he's he's.
Speaker 10 (37:14):
Doing well, you know, and he's still producing and he's
able to go out. And that's another guy that a
lot of these guys tight ends can come behind and
learn from.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Burntand it's interesting you always hear guys say that, you know,
you got to take care of your body when you
certainly understand why because it's a violent game. But as
you get older, how much more difficult is that to do?
When you play in the National Football League.
Speaker 7 (37:37):
I don't think it's I don't think it's difficult. I
think what you do is what you do is you.
Speaker 10 (37:43):
You create that over over the tenure, over your tenure.
You know, you just you created and you and what
happens is you become consistent at it.
Speaker 7 (37:52):
And we know what consistency does.
Speaker 10 (37:54):
Consistency and repetition does a lot of great things for you.
So when you when you do that, I know me
for when I was playing, you know, every year for
fourteen years, I did the same I had that same routine,
you know, and I and I wentn't even further when
taking care of my body doing during the off season.
You know, I didn't stop your chiropractic massage, stretching.
Speaker 7 (38:15):
I did it religiously.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
And that's how I was able to go fourteen years
without having surgery.
Speaker 7 (38:19):
I never had surgery. I never had surgery in my
entire career.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Yeah, man, that's that's oh really, yeah. I never had surgery.
I never got hurt below the waist. I never tore
my knee up, I never tore my ankle up. I
have no surgery scards. The only thing that I did
hurt vernon. I cracked my stern them and you know,
if you cracked your stern them, you just need.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
To play through it. You just got to wait for
it to heal.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
So I too, like you never had no surgeries, better
than Shawn Spring, who had like ninety three surgeries.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Wow.
Speaker 10 (38:50):
See that's that's why I see, that's why, that's why
you were able to play the way you played, you know,
at a high level for all those years and even
come out you know, still move around the way you're moving.
I mean, it's a it's a testament tab with you.
You know, how you took care of your body, and
that's that's the key man. A lot of a lot
of guys don't do it, but those guys who do
you You know, that's.
Speaker 4 (39:08):

all enjoyed sitting around having a few drinks and talking
about commander stuff. But we always talked about the Getlou
podcast and everything commander of social Media. So we just
want to reach out and let you guys know that
all of y'all are being heard in the States and everything,
but also all yeah did in Bermuda. Thank you guys looking.
Speaker 1 (42:10):

Speaker 2 (42:15):
About the pod and the commanders. Hey, listen, thank you.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
We're the cool kids right now, right now. You know,
while while searn Spring were playing for the team, it
was a black cloud over the team. You know what
I'm saying, black cloud over the team. Now we are
the cool kids, and everybody want to talk about the
cool kids. I can't believe they on a family cruise
in Bermuda and they talking about to Get Loud Pop.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
They're like, hey, do you guys listen to Michael Jenkins.
Speaker 6 (42:39):
Yeah, I can totally see y'all doing a podcast, the
podcast from the Caribbean somewhere at else.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Well, you know, I'm hosting Jink's bachelor party right you

Speaker 4 (42:52):
I believe the direct quote was it's probably not going
to be on land.
Speaker 3 (42:56):
Yeah, I'm saying, is I have I'm a good time
coordinator to see y'all doing a show from Bermuda or
somewhere like that. Bro, Well, you know it depends our budget.
Ain't quite there yet, but we'll figure it out.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
We're getting there.
Speaker 3 (43:07):
Yeah, We're getting there, man, one step at the time.
That why we need y'all to vote for us for
that award for the podcast of the Funniest podcast Sports podcast.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Vote for Get Loud Podcast Awards dot com.
Speaker 4 (43:19):
That's Podcast Awards dot com.
Speaker 1 (43:21):
All right, before we go, and his brain child there,
this is a good one. Rate the take, right, So
I'm gonna give you a take and you tell me
if it's on the money or an airball.
Speaker 2 (43:31):
Hate it did?
Speaker 4 (43:35):
Speaking of haters, the Commander's roster.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Is too old. Hated it first of all.
Speaker 3 (43:41):
No, the one thing you got on here is you
got a wealth of knowledge, you got a wealth of brainchild,
and you got older guys in the right spot. Think
about it, Von Miller. We want you to come rush
on these downs at this time. A right, Bobby Wagner like,
we're gonna make sure we get bigger guys in front
of you to keep you clean.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
So all the guys that we got with.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
Some age on them, they they yellow jackets like Vonon
Miller yellow jacket, Bobby Watting a yellow jacket. The age
guys on this team bring a lot more than just
football playing to this team.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
I don't like the word.
Speaker 6 (44:14):
Oh, let's try using the word more like season unmature,
that mature, mature, essional mature.
Speaker 2 (44:21):
That's a better mature. So I hated that all right.
Speaker 4 (44:26):
Some fans think von Miller will not help with.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
The pass rush. You must guys haven't been watching football.
Speaker 6 (44:33):
Of course he's gonna help. Yeah, I'm gonna say, you know,
first of all, his respect. He earned that respect around
the league. So when you see him out there run
on the field, he can whoop anybody in front of him.
Speaker 2 (44:43):
Yes, and you gotta know that well in a step.
Speaker 6 (44:45):
Smooth just told us early in the show that he
still got the quickest step in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
Yeah. That's you know what, when you're.
Speaker 6 (44:50):
Thirty six, you might not have all sixteen games, Yeah,
but you got fifteen players a game.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
And guess what.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
Every quarterback in the NFL, when he walks to their
line of scrimmage, they alert, They go twenty four. He's
an alert item twenty four is right there. So as
long as they still looking for him to find him,
he got the respect around the league. Sometime you don't
need the respect of the fans. You just need to
respect of your peers, that's right.
Speaker 2 (45:12):
So I don't know.
Speaker 1 (45:12):
I think I know the answer to this. I know
what you guys are gonna say. But the biggest roster
battle will be in what position?
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Group B live? Where's the beef like them? Guys?
Speaker 3 (45:23):
Listen, it's so many guys with the same body types,
big dudes, and you know we're a rotation team.
Speaker 2 (45:29):
Yep. So it's when they always say this about good teams.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
If you're a good team, in the end of training camp,
you're gonna cut some good players. We're gonna be one
of those teams that cut some good players. And you
watch the players we cut, they won't be on the
wire for more than twenty four hours.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
They will be picked up. I tell that agree. It's
in D line.
Speaker 6 (45:48):
And the reason why that's a good thing is because
we talked about we gotta pushed around last year in
the MBC Championship game.
Speaker 2 (45:55):
So you know what to make sure that you're really
good up front.
Speaker 6 (45:58):
You're gonna go revamp everything, making super competitive so that
you know you make this roster.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
Yeah yeah at the d line. Yeah, we know what.
We legit.
Speaker 4 (46:07):
You legit, hey, right the time to get our pockets.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
You want to get your real quick? You got anything
before we go? Oh?
