Speaker 2 (03:08):
Time right now, man, somebody going to break this tie breaker,
all right, Next one for you? What season did Fred
have five interceptions for the Washington franchise?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Oh, that's tough because he had He had a couple
of years. I want to say him and Champion had
a good year. His rookie year he balled, but I
think it was his second year. I want to go
like two thousand and two.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And two thousand rookie.

I knew this might be the tip breaker right here,
so already you already that's your first miss Sean. This

Two thousand, uh two thousand and four?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Right, that's your final answer. I'm giving you a little chance.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I know, are we saying is a Washington player as
a Seattle player as a whole?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What year was he a pro bowler in his career?
In his career? Not your rookie year? The second year?
Did he had a hell? What year is that? Though?
I need the year ninety eight?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You got it Fred too much? I mean because he did,
because he didn't know as a whole it was all
Washington question. But then when you said he ain't got
nothing to do with and.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Then ninety nine but they didn't vote me in right away?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I can't so it was so Fred he won I know,
Blue Bell, Fred Fred yess.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Right his rookie year. I knew it was.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
They were out of control, y'all both could have basically tied.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Y'all pretty knowledgeable though, man, guys, you know what you're

Speaker 5 (05:41):
I remember one time we played Detroit and I remember
a pre game because you know, I always got these
pregames Shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And I looked at the wide.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Receiver line at a Detroit and it was Roy Williams.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
He's six six' five two.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Twenty that's when they played us.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Here then they Had. Rogers rogers was about six Three Michigan.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
State then who was the third? Guy Calvin johnson Was
Calvin AND i looked over, there, like what are we
going to? Do because these dudes they had, dudes.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And it was like three years in the.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Row they got the highest rated receiver in the, draft
AND i was, like you know, what this is gonna
be a, challenge BUT i can say this every time
we played, them we run at, battle we won at.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Battle so ALL i.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Remember when it came To detroit, was, boy do they
got some big receivers out.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Here do you remember any of your status doing them?
Games like do YOU.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
I KNOW i picked, OFF i got an interception Against,
DETROIT a lot of tackles because they ran the ball
my way up, Tons, yeah, yeah what about you?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Blue for?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Me?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
MAN i just Remember detroit being in physical but mine
actually my mind actually remembery THAT i have For. Detroit,
actually the only THING i can remember about that game
Was santana's trum, returned because because if, not it just
felt like that game and we were, like man that we.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Could we felt like we could go in there and Beat.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Detroit rough.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Team we knew it was gonna be a rough, game
but some, teams you, know just or wild people getting.
Hurt and we was out there playing AND i don't
know if it was a close, game and then it
was a close, game then you broke that game, open
and it was like, man, damn they can pass the.
Ball now do something because it was, like, man we
was like we was in team period of nine on
seven or.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Something it was like physical. Game SO i go back
to that.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Return that was a special moment for me because it
was just like, MAN i was holding UP i just
remember boom like that made the difference in.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
The game for.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You. Yeah, YEAH i always just like playing their.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
PERIOD i was just talking to you, Know maddie before
we got on the, show AND i was, like it's
crazy That i'm looking at the numbers that they had
down to, me and it was like five times we
played in the before in some yards so every. Time
but then if you add my My, jets yeah out
AND i scored a touchdown the first TIME i ever played. There,
well crazy is? Man throughout my career.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Like playing that team or like playing them In, detroit
which one.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Is In detroit for some odd reason WHEN i played,
there and it's because it's. Crazy so growing, UP i
had two childhood friends that left early went throughout my
middle school days and they was really cool and they
told Me i'm moving To. Detroit you know when you're
Young detroit and then we get, older and then they
found out how to get my number and they hit me. Up, hey,
(08:25):
bro we we In, Detroit, michigan and they heard you.
Coming so it was, like, DAMN i got. Them this
is my first time gonna be able to see them.
Again and THEN i AND i gave them tickets to the,
game and that's what ignited, It like you got people there.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
That you, share you share.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The bond with and they get the chance to see
you play this game THAT i grew, up you, know
playing in the. Neighborhood SO i think it was that
set it. Off every TIME i go To, detroit they,
There i'm sending them the.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Tickets but the crazy thing about, That, TANN i don't
even think you was a regular season you weren't probably
turning four.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Time, yeah it's.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
A different blocking For tanna compared To ram The.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Lady so What danny, said just go back to the
house getting day.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Was, like, hey you, know, sparked give me a spart.
Today i'm, LIKE i got your.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Coach and when he asked, ME i had already scored
to touchdown on the offensive. Side he's, like, well you
tearing them. UP i need that spot and special teams
ain't doing. Nothing and y'all remember the game was kind of.
Close it was like one score away and that kind
of you, know opened it, up, Man and it.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Was, Yeah AND i always wondered to going back To
fred real. Quick you ain't touch on, it, Man you
was in That. Minnesota what's? That what does it feel?
Different Like joit always Felt tanna, love it Felt detroit
always felt weird to.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Me there was a division rival at the, time so
it felt normal to. Me and my best, games LIKE
i always told, YOU i ain't never had a bad
game against Green, Bay like Green bay was the eighteam for.
ME i always played like it's no matter who what
JERSEY i got. On Like tanner say he loved Playing.
DETROIT i love playing Green bay no matter. What so
(10:00):
one of them things where at the playing because for
some reason here In, washington we always played Green bay
like we, always no matter what going, on we Played
Green bay and we Played chicago at a high. Level
SO i was used to playing them by the TIME
i got to that. Division so it was fun for.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Me, yeah, MAN i mean those memories always always good going, back,
Man and now you just it's crazy how you know
those those, Times detroit wasn't on that that. High NOW
i can consider like the last few years since they
Got Dan, Campbell, man things have been on the.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Farm, well NOW i think about, It i'd have picked
off every team in THE Nfc North oh, Wow, Yeah, Bears, Minnesota,
detroit me, too like all of them.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Too, yeah all, right, fellas, well we're gonna we're finish
jumping to. This you, know we're gonna dive and jump
into this fast lane. Segment, man and talk a little
bit a little bit more about this matchup against The
commanders In week ten.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Against The Detroit.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Lions All, right it's gonna be tough fast lane present
By Eastern Automotive, group any car any way for.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Everyone since nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Eight, fellas we come into week, ten man down another.
Soldier seemed like every week we get we come on
down this one. Here man hurts a little differently because
despite some of the guys who are going to be
put on our our our field as, leader As fred
would say back in the days when we had old
j camp our field is league now Is Jaden Daniels
(11:28):
man and he'll be out this. Weekend but we have
another one that we think highly of And. Marioda, man
what you Think marioda got got in the store for
us going into this matchup Against.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
DETROIT i think he's one of the best backups in the.
LEAGUE i don't look at him as a. BACKUP i
look at him at the thirty third store and, quarterback
especially all the players he done played this.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Year so the.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
One THING i can say is Because jaden have missed
so many, Games marioda is in.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Rhythm he's not your average backup.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Quarterbacks you're throwing him in there AND i often stage the.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Same nothing changes when he comes.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
In, ACTUALLY i think we kind of run our pos
a little bit more reckless when he's.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
In there then we do with with with WITH jd.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Five but this is gonna be a challenge and it's
gonna BE i say this that we still run as much.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Now that we know That jay may be all a little.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Longer, well we don't need to weaponize the run game
to keep That detroit offense on their.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Sideline, so speaking of weaponizing a run, game what what
can we do to ignite that because that's one of
the things that we've been saying we got to get
back to and every week it seems like we, trying
but then don't look the same.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
As what our line would have been improved when, EVERYBODY
i think we did a good, job But i've seen
this week we actually went on the.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Center we went on the center a couple of.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Times like if to, me if you want to regnite
that run, game do it from under. Center so it
not only regnites that run game because it makes it
hard to know which side or running back if they
gonna get the.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Ball it's different than the.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Shotgun so if we can get back on the center
a little bit, more it opened up that play action
game and get a wide receiver space to go make some.
Plays SO i just want to see us under center
just a little bit, more AND i think we could
do that With. Mariota it gives you three levels to attack.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
On to your, Point, santanna, like, right game show. Up
we gotta take the.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Pressure that's where we're healthy.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
At like if you want to say where we're healthy
at this running, backs running, back everybody's still in.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Tack everybody's still.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
THERE i hate to say this BECAUSE i know everybody
love one hundred Dollars bill AND i do. Too this
Is Chris rodriguez. Game this is a three yards in
the cloud of. Dust this IS i need four twelve play,
drives and we can get twelve play drives in this.
One stalling that offense over there on that sideline and
Letting chris go.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Downhill we got a. Chance like it's it's always a,
way is?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
THAT i mean looking at the game last? Year, WELL i,
mean you can't even look at the game last, year
but you kind of have to think about. It last
year it was the Flip detroit was. Banged and now we're,
back we're, there we coming.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Here we definitely trade. Places but look thinking about it
like this.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Too you guys talked about that's what we need to,
do getting the run game, established and you know you
can't be you have to have a balanced attack against good.
Defenses and to, ME i feel like it's bigger than.
THAT i think it's not necessarily just the guys who
are actually running the. FOOTBALL i GUESS i think it's
the guys up front and everything and sound that we,
can we, want we will hope we're going to be
(14:22):
in a run. Game we have to be that more
that that much more stout in the. Past protection part of,
it because you think About detroit coming. In they got
hushers in over. There they're second in the league in.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Sacks like they got guys in the.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Back it's one thing of just protecting the.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Guy but if you're not running, well you can scrap
all that protective because now they're coming at you with different,
stunts different.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Looks they gonna find a way to get back there to.
You they're predominant man and man. Team they blitz at
a high. Rate they play man and man at a high.
Rate we know from playing a lot of man and
man you can get one. Pass, yeah they go to.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Key how many big plays can you get?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Past and A hutcheson is the force when it comes
to Pass russian like know where he's at at all
times that.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Point you can get a, play but you gotta get.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
It because if you, don't they're gonna tell.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Where they heard.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
It they hurt in the defensive back, field like they
got defensive backs going in and. Out so if you
want to, say all, right where are they lacking right
now on, defense it's.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Gonna be in the back.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
End if they're, healthy they got the.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Best, again we got to have a heavy dose of
of earths and and, Debo like and.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Use their aggressiveness against. Them if they're gonna blitch, you
and you know they're gonna blitch, you scream draws like
let them play into your real with let me.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Add let's actually some dang you. Know obviously he's. Known
he's an office coach for the physicalist. Team it's got
this physical. Identity dan. Came i'm sorry if You, dan
do you come in and blisters or you play zone
and just tell?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Off why would you play zone when our receivers are?
Hurt that's a, point you know What i'm, Saying, like
that's why they defensive coordinated gonna look and, say you know,
what my guys can handle this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Guy chicago opened up just like. That chicago have a Safety.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And that's almost disrespectful because if you see a team
Say i'm gonna stack Your i'm gonna stack this, Box
i'm gonna Play i'm a single guys on the, outside
that's basically telling you to try. Me you know What i'm, saying,
like try me and eventually first play, eventually.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Because this is my thing about playing this. Game and we.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Talked about this highly of this one particular guy last,
year Nor Nor Brown. Brown every time we threw a
ball up at him if he wasn't bringing it. Down
it was a passing. Experience you see how much they
call passing the friends. NOWADAYS i mean you could you
could barely even run by a guy without saying that
you touch them some kind of as a defensive. Back
so you have to try these. Guys you have to
(16:48):
throw the ball up at. Times, now this has got
to be one of those games where whether It's robbie,
chosen whether it's gonna be The, Birks, like these guys
got to come up even if you're not catching the,
ball you gotta try, to you, know force.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Them guys to Engage, bingo you got to you gotta.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Be engaged with these guys on the outside or another to, say,
Hey i'm either gonna come down with a big play
or you gotta P i me for me not to
get this.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Ball and then on the flip side of the you
know they're gonna do that to us with them. Receivers,
yeah they're gonna push the. Ball and that's my, Thing
like you know WHAT i, mean they got the guys
to get. Over But i'm just saying for right now
where we're hurting that in the receiver. Room you have to,
say if they're gonna play, us, man AND i know
they're gonna stack this box and they're gonna be bringing
guys like you, say the second in sacks with twenty
(17:32):
eight some.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Sacks, look we gotta make sure we getting that ball
on the. Outside they gotta be a heavy Zach. Urs
they gotta be a Heavy. Debo AND i don't talk about,
this this sideline of Sideline. Debo debo gotta run some. Routes,
yeah he Got we got to get him in some.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
ROUTES i need him in the middle of the. Field
we got to force.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Him we got to put him out there in the
slot and, say put your best guy on them or
your second best guy on, them and we're gonna work.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It, well here go think about.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
It if you're gonna run, man the man on, Me
i'm gonna Put debo in the middle of the field
and give them trust routes to route, times across.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Route everything THAT i can think.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Of i'm gonna let you see it this, week because
at the end of the, day if you're gonna play
this man and man that that middle south middle south
of them outside lane is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
SOUTH i hate to Play devil's out, thecate but do.
IT i hate to play devils out because me And
smooth ran that defense and it was what it was
when we felt like people couldn't get away from. It
so it was, like whatever y'all, run don't matter because
y'all don't have the guys that keep not you.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But also come in there thinking that and somebody but
you know that.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Arrogance i'm just, saying you, know it's, crazy but it
should work for, you especially when that no name guy comes,
up because you, know like we, know we done study to.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Stop Joey galloway.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
All week and Now joey gets hurt and not this
dude that we ain't studyed comes in the game and
he works. Us he works, us not because he, better
he works until we don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It, yeah let's witch lanes a little.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Bit we done talked about you know them on d,
defense and let's talk about our secondary a little. Bit
knowing what we got the face Of Saint brown And Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Williamson w uh, right, now.
Speaker 2 (19:14):

no way he's gonna, be you.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Know so that's why you gotta show different. Looks get
him to hold the ball post snap for the.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Look but go where things messed. Up if you coordinate
against this. Offense they running the ball so, Well they
running the ball so well that you can't just play cover.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Too you can't just play cover four to cover you from.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Us understand That i'm, gonna like you, said pre, snap
we're gonna have to show way more than we've been
showing all year. Long we got to do some simulated
pressures where it looked like we. PRESSURE i, THOUGHT i
thought we did and you, guys you.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
GUYS i probably was a, sweet you, know party and too,
much but y'all had a better view of the, game
AND i thought we did that Against, seattle THOUGH i
really thought we tried to show that we.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Did but BUT i feel like at time thought they
was able to.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Me then it's just my.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Standpoint from my, OPINION i feel like they was able
to move the pocket well well against, us and when
you're not and when you can put the quarterback in
a situation where he's, comfortable, samn he had the gun
behind that comfortable ability that he had to just slice
and dice us. Up so this is a little different
from FROM.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I Think detroit lines better Than. Seattle, No detroit line
is line is.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Better But i'm just saying far as how they run their,
offense the offense was a was an offense that we.
Knew if he has the, time it's gonna be like paper, cuts.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Sir you know What i'm.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Saying he's gonna slight you so many times before you know,
it but you're gonna feel like the wide, open you,
Know and that's how it. Looked they were just every
chance he, got it was like it was and he
was perfect.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Too so you, know from the, game can we take
from the game the playoff game that was played last
year that we can utilize in this game this year
because they only thing different about this offense from last
year is their. Software in the, middle they got a new,
center center retired and two guards new. Guards so this
(21:57):
is a pain kindlog, Game like if we gonna mess
this game, up it's gonna be through THE a and
through the big, gap especially when we missing the guy
Like Frankie. Lou it's going for one of those.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Games and it's funny you say, that but when you
say thinking because because you Got Dave. Montgomery but then they,
shot they're tossing into the boundary with ja Mayor.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Gibbs he his, Right you, KNOW i.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Don't know who fast between him And, james BUT i
don't know his ability to depressed that hole and then bounce.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
On you.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Can we got going for grass this week and not
on that, turn you, right because the turf team don't
do well in the.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Grass in the.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
ELEMENTS i seen that boy run At Georgia. Tech he's
been running The alabama and.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Grass i'm just, Saying i'm just saying that he's gonna
be down. AGAIN i, know being a, speaster. Bro when
you on that, ground don't get me, wrong you're still.
Fast but it's a difference because that grass give a
little different than that. Turf and that's the only thing
we got going for is too because you, know he
put that foot in the ground like some of the
best of. Them and you're talking about you don't know
who fast out of him and your Boy, JAMES i
(23:04):
don't know who fast out of. Him and the dude Be,
john you, Know AND i, mean it's just crazy how
you got to. ME i feel like it's like And
i'm glad you brought them. Up it's like you very
seldom see running backs that can like almost look like each.
Other you Got, john you Got, taylor and you got.
HIM i feel like they all are like but they the.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Same they all. Track this is the. Difference they track
styles that can run THE a and THE. B usually
you get a track style tail man.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Outside all he gonna do is run Toss these boys
with well a TECTIVE b gap out of a gap
and they will bounce.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
It but WHEN i say they lateral, movement it's.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Ridiculous it's. Ridiculous so this is What i'm, saying we're
going to Do james cooking that boat To james looking.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Book this is just a different style of. Running but they.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
All in that book WAS i think you gonna have
to make the one. Dimensional now what one dimensional do you?
Want do you want to force him to? Run do
you want to force from the? PAIN i say forced
them the, past Because.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
God full time this year we ain't picked.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Them he had four.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
PIXELS i don't.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Know What i'm saying is it's some it's some remnants
of last, year like come, on don't like This detroit
team ain't gonna come in here like we're still mad
about it last?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Year CAN i?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
CAN i be honest with, YOU i don't even know
to your, POINT i don't know where they've been blocking
and running you see it. RUNNING i don't know if
you can force them to pass what you, guys good.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Do? It you?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Can you?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
CAN i THINK i THINK i think they have their
moments when they run, well and they had their moments
where they passed. Well BUT i think you, know just
speaking of talking, about you, know forcing them to kind of.
Run and one of the guys we got on the,
Show Jeremy. Reeves, man he's been thrust into a job
of being our prim one of our, premier and that's
one of the Things i've been noticing from this. Guy
(24:48):
this some of the things he's been doing in the run.
Game you, Know so normally you talk about a guy
who's out there playing, safety but he's been showing up
in that. Box what are some of the things you
guys are seeing From jeremy quick.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Reaction, yeah you, know you, know you're talking about a
guy who's known for a special, team so you know
he got physical presence and he's. Tough but, man his,
reads you, know reading the tackles and. Guards, man he
had twelve yards and he hitting people at the line of.
Scrimmage and it's not that he's. Guessing he actually is
actually reading and getting down in our. Box that boys
(25:19):
boy getting he getting. Downhill i'm gonna tell you, This
and you, said look Like Ryan, CLARK i saw that, Too.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Bi ryan was the, same right.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Boom But i'm gonna tell you all of us grew
up in the neighborhood and you know how you walk
past that one house and it's this homegry dog that
staying in the front.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yard so you know you got to run every.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Time everybody's that home red dog because for his life
he's been special, team special, team specch. Team now he's
finally getting their chance to play on defense and.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
He's making his prisons failed homebry.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Dog, style like you can always tell with somebody playing
with this, edge and he played with their, edge AND
i love it like he's if it's been a bright
spot this. Year he's been one of the SPEAKING i
think because.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
His, films because you, know we we always we love
having show he smart, dude, intelligent.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Intelligent speaking of just him being a hongry. Dog and
we were talking about some of the things that we
can do to getting back To Jared golf and how
can we slow him, down how can we get him
rattled like we did last year and that that playoff.
GAME i think that's something that we need to see
more of. Too i've seen teams do it to us
timely blitz on the second and third. Level when you
got a guy Like revo doing some of the things
(26:25):
he's doing in the run game coming, UP i would
love to see us mix up some of them stunts
and have him coming in and setting the.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Tone and so you want to blitz with spink is
a good one for, You.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Santanna so we Had Sam, donald who's Mobile and now
you said we talked About Jack. Golf does that change
as does that change from what's your thoughts? On first of,
one where you ranked Like Jared golf compared to some
of the quarterbacks, league BECAUSE i don't think.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
He's better than what they give.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
HIM i think the top ten quought he was better
than say.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And how you Play.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Minnesota they Played minnesota like that until last.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
When golf is the top. Guy i'm sorry you.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
THINK i Think golf don't get enough credit for what
he's he's done up to this point in his.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Career well he's been to the Super.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Bowl but BUT i do believe if you allow him
to have similar pocket That sam, had he's.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
A modern Day Matt. Ryan, yeah that's who he. Is decision,
thrower hockey, passer.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And that team believe in. Him the team got his,
back like they that's their due and that's what you.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Need like you you could tell just from how he,
embraces you, know being out there playing playing for those.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Guys Dan campbell has that same kind of edge to.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Him i'm not even saying it's an energy, yeah that
Dan quinn gives. Off they have the same energy that
they that the players do a little more for them
because they appreciate.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The love that they're.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Giving she's been in our. Shoe but that's what, players
his receivers look like. Like at the receivers when you
see it.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That confident and knowing that he's gonna Get look put
it like. This remember how we just talked about us
playing in seven and we went to that post we
had that postseason, run and we had it With Todd.
Collins if the average football fan ain't looking At Todd connins,
like oh, boy we got one of the best, Quarterbacks
but the receiver's response is we got one of the
(28:30):
best quarterbacks quarterback in us leading us onto this this
run because we was confident in knowing that he's going
to throw the ball to us where we need to
be on, time one, time and that's all you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Want that's what.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Brings, yeah that's why you see everybody getting the.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Ball you got all, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
You're, right Store. Fast this is not the team to start.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Slowly this team has the hot high obtained on, offense
and they turned the ball over on.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Defense we gotta. Starts if you, don't they're.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Buried Dan, QUINN i Mean Dan campbell's gonna come to
that game looking at it, like, hey you see what you?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
See what? Did that's?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Show and we can be just like this and you,
know having that kind of running backs that they, have you,
Know sonic And knuckleho's in the, backfield the receivers they
got on the outside tight, end if you want to
be technical about. IT i know they're not playing on,
turf but this might be the new modern day fastest
offense on, turf you know WHAT i, mean fast show on,
turf because from from every, position skill position they, got they,
(29:33):
got they got a, dude they got a, blazer you
know WHAT i. Mean they a, pounder a blazer on.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Every is just the best office for wedn Face.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Uh cowboys offenses clicking at a high, level clicking.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
At a little hot and. Cold But i'm talking about
when we face, yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Yeah because the quarterback combination with this receivers and the
RUNNING i think this is.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
The big here second offensive that when it comes to
edge guys running backs tight.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
End they got a.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Complete greu, Complete SO i just respect. That it's a
whole lot of. Pressure so you gotta you. Gotta i'm

guys we don't know him As. Revo It's Jeremy Reives,
Man welcome to the, show.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
BROTHER i appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Man, MAN i, mean you, KNOW i want to die
right into this thing because it.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Feels like the last time we had you, around we
were big up on you on.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Just going to the pro, bo.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
All the things you've done the special team side of the.
Ball and this, Year, man you're, seven it just seemed,
like you, know you got an opportunity and it's something
that you, know we all probably have waited for in
this league to have that one opportunity or that chance
to kind of do something that we've been wanting to
do all our. Life and it seemed like now to
see you on, DEFENSE i honestly can see you, know
(31:56):
the honger and the grit and all the things that
you probably put in to your game and to the
preparation of you being where you're at. Today, yeah how
has it been for you man to now kind of
get a chance to be on that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Side of the ball and you're living up to.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
It, Uh it's been a, blessing. Right it's like for,
me it's like the things you pray, for they don't
know necessarily when they're gonna. Come, yeah, right, Right So
i've been praying for that, forever, right and then you,
Know god says it's, time, Right it's time, Now that
would just happen to be years down the. Road so
like for, me the preparation always was just to prepare
(32:31):
as if the time is, today because it's just you
just don't know when it's gonna. Come and so this
is a violent game and people go, down and so
when you go, down it's got to be next man
up and it can't be a drop off from. That
So i've just tried to you, know help my team
in any way, possible and you, know with my play
style and HOW i, play just add that to the.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Unit.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Right and you talked about drop off Now Pro Bowl
special team players on defense making the.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Impact you never forget about the special.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Team how you playing it high intense defense and not
dropping off on special.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Team just, understanding, man those dudes counting me just as
much as the guys on. Defense, dude those a my.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Guys so.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
For me understanding that they all this is their livelihood,
too and so they depend on me for their livelihood
Because i've been there, right depending on you, know toother
guys from my livelihood so just remembering that like this
ain't no, playoff this ain't no down, off, Right LIKE
i gotta go cover AND i gotta go protect and
do all those things because they need, me, right trust
need me to get the pun off. Right the gunners
(33:40):
need me so they can go down there and. Cover
the protection needs. Me so there's not a free runner
understanding that it's all tied into, it, Man and at
the end of the, day it just come down the wheel, power,
right just you gotta fight despite how you, feeling despite
the circumstances of what it. Is, right there ain't no,
quit no, cerementer no. Retreat it's ALL i lived. By
so that's really the mentality to that.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Point so it hadn't been a drop off in your,
play and your play at safety has been.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Incredible.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Man we've had a chance to see every week we
talking about, man we all did throwing this body, around you,
Know so you're putting in that work swamp and.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Paint the read has been.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Crisp you, know what's that preparation, now like on the, defense,
right because you only got so many hours and it
looks like you just know your stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Putting in over time like your film work is, crazy,
Huh no.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
DOUBT i didn't like how it.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Started for.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
ME i was a little bit all over the, place
maybe the, nerves maybe a little bit. Everywhere and so
the best part of my game is my. Tackling at,
first my tackling wasn't, there and that was something that
really pissed me, off to be, honest because that's What
i'm known.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
For and so for, me how did you get good at?
Tackling like that man talked about keep going add that?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Part there was a there's an element of, sacrifice and
the sacrifice came out home, like, hey, LISTEN, Michaela LIKE
i love, you but right, now like during the, WEEK
i might not have a lot of, time right it's
going to be just one day THAT i can we
can go on a date night or something like. That
but for the most, part Like i'm dedicated to this
(35:11):
right now BECAUSE i don't know how long this window
is going to. Be, yeah and SO i got to
maximize this window to the best of my, ability because,
again people depend on, me, right and so to piggyback
off you know your. Question the WAY i got better
at it WAS i changed the mindset and THEN i
worked at it right before, Practice LIKE i go out
(35:31):
there And i'm hitting the, bag same, foot same, shoulder
taking the extra, step working on those details in practice
when a god breaks free through the line and just
coming to balance and then you, know making that extracep
seeing and stick things that you know are the toughest
playing football open one hundred. Percent but those are the
things that are expected of, me and that's the things
THAT i expected. Myself so just taking ownership of that
(35:52):
man has been the thing that's kind of transitioned from
When i've really started to play on defense to you,
know Where i'm at now is just taking every rep
as if it's you, know a game.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Rep so you talked about, sacrificing AND i think one
of the things that we take for granted is that
what all we put in to just being that player
each and.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Every, weekend each and every ball.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Game how hard is it sometimes when it's musical, chairs
when it comes to those positions back, There i'm watching you,
guys it's you is another. Guy there's so many different
guys and fans just feel like you have to go
out there and get it.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Done it takes. Time how hard is that?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Man kind of you, know putting all that.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Together it Takes it takes, time like you, said and
it takes. Chemistry and you, KNOW i believe roll one
building to day man and so things take time and
they take, consistency and it's just repetition over and over
and over, again because like you, said it's different bodies out.
There one player might be out there With kwann And
i'm at. Safety the next player might be at the
diningbacker And i'm next To bobby And oosen and another,
(36:54):
play you, Know i'm in the middle of the Field kawns.
Down so it's like it all it's rotating a lot of,
people no, doubt but it's a lot of studying and
it's a lot of communication with the guys that you're
out there, with and just you, know there's been times
Where i've been running off the field And i'm telling
the guy that's running on the, field, like, hey this
is the, call this is what you know they might be.
Doing so it's just that element of the game that you,
(37:17):
know it's probably it actually isn't seen by fans a,
lot but that's the part of it that you know
is you, know the biggest thing about it is just
like it it ain't building a day, right and it takes,
time and so that clock it just doesn't you, know
it's not a normal.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Clock. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Yeah the, biggest another big aspect of your, game besides the,
physicality besides what you do on special, team is your.
Leadership your. Leadership you can see it coming out THE
tv if you're watching it from. Home your leadership is there.
Now we all us been in four or five. Six
i've me in my rookie. Year we started off four and,
six we didn't win a game to the same game
of the.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Year how is how hard is it for you to
lead by exam? Up but when things ain't going? Right
because we all it's easy to leave when things, Easily
but when it's.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Going bad like, this how do you bring the locker
room back together and, say you know what we, got
finished what we, started no.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
Doubt to be, fair like you, said it's easy to
be a front.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Runner it's all going.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Well it's easy to be at the.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Front saying, hey this is what we're. Doing yeah it's
going to.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Go but to be honest with, YOU i know what
this part feels like more than being the front, runner
Because i've been here my whole. Career, yeah SO i
know what it's like to be at the bottom and.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Have to call your way out of.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
It however they may look right being on the roster
situation or or you, know the record, wise JUST i understand.
That SO i understand what it's like to just have
to pick back up when it don't go your way
and get back to work and find whatever it is
that you need to hold onto to get better and
(38:51):
make the unit. Better and, honestly my biggest thing right
now is JUST i want to see everybody do good.
MAN i want to see everybody, win BECAUSE i know
what it is like to feel AND i know what
it's like to fail over and over and over again
until you hit that. Cusp but for, us right it's
just like you just got to take it one at
a time and just reminding, guys especially the young, guys, like, hey, listen,
(39:11):
bro like a play don't define. YOU i don't care
what the outside no it. Says play don't define, you a,
mistackle don't define. You none of that stuff defines. You
right at the end of the, day when you look
in the, mirror you know who you, are not nobody.
Else and so you got to remember that in them
times when it's tough and it's, uncomfortable because that breeds
you know who you're going to be at the end
of the.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Day it's a part of it is telling don't listen
to the.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Outside you, can't, man because, listen Like i've, Been i've
been on the, outside, Right SO i, understand, Right, like
there's a lot of emotions that go into, this. Right
people pay and invest time into a team and like
to state favorite, Team they've grown up in, it they love,
(39:55):
it the family love, it, right and so there's a
lot of investment in, that, right and so when it
doesn't go, well there's a lot of emotion that's attached to.
It that's a lot of emotion when it goes good
and when it goes. Bad so you got to remember,
That like feelings, Fluctuate yeah they. Do we're, Human so
LIKE i can be happy right here and, bad right
they as good as it is it. Is So i've just,
(40:17):
learned And i'm telling these young guys to just stay. Here,
yeah don't ride the roller coaster because if you, do
it's gonna reflect in your. Game so you got to, Right,
like when it was going bad for me And i'm
missing tackles and they having big.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Games.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
RIGHT i could have easily rolled the roller, coaster but
it's like, nah LIKE i know WHO i. Am let's
get back to the. Basics let's stay, here and then
it slept you slowly gradually get out of.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
It, well you, know, man we love on, here man
and talk to you all. Day we have a part
where we ask ALL i guess to sign the.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Ball we appreciate. It we're gonna put that on, Man
come on the show. Man that's a route from The Players.

All right? Next one for you? What is fred forty time?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Oh? Fred's forty time?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Ah, give me your best answer. You know, he don't lie.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
So the time I don't.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
I know ran four to three and Fred Fred didn't
wasn't had a fashion time in the line. Because Lennon
remind me every day I see him. Yeah, uh he
went four four seven?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
What is undetermined? So we're gonna We're gonna go with
the four four seven. I told you right alright?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
So what season then did Blue come to Washington Redskin
Slash Commanders.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Two thousand and four, two thousand and four.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
This is too easy your.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Time right now, man, somebody going to break this tie breaker,
all right, Next one for you? What season did Fred
have five interceptions for the Washington franchise?
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Oh, that's tough because he had He had a couple
of years. I want to say him and Champion had
a good year. His rookie year he balled, but I
think it was his second year. I want to go
like two thousand and two.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
And two thousand rookie.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I knew this might be the tip breaker right here,
so already you already that's your first miss Sean. This
last question for Fred? What year was Sean a pro bowler?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
M was it that five pick five sack year? And
if that was the case, there was.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Two thousand, uh two thousand and four?
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Right, that's your final answer. I'm giving you a little chance.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I know, are we saying is a Washington player as
a Seattle player as a whole?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
What year was he a pro bowler in his career?
In his career? Not your rookie year? The second year?
Did he had a hell? What year is that? Though?
I need the year ninety eight?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
You got it Fred too much? I mean because he did,
because he didn't know as a whole it was all
Washington question. But then when you said he ain't got
nothing to do with and.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Then ninety nine but they didn't vote me in right away?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I can't so it was so Fred he won I know,
Blue Bell, Fred Fred yess.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Right his rookie year. I knew it was.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
They were out of control, y'all both could have basically tied.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Y'all pretty knowledgeable though, man, guys, you know what you're
talking about your pot.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Man, Like when you got a sidekick of his caliber. Yeah,
I gotta know everything about my side kid.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
That's right, all right, man, were finish gear up for
this week ten, you know, match up against the Detroit Lions. Yeah,
it's a spot where I used to love to go
and play. You know, we hosting them this time around

You know what was some of you guys memories?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Man?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
I see you know they have our memories here man,
and I can always remember just the touchdowns and.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
The yards or something. What is something about Detroit? You remember? Fred? Fred?
I started you Fred? Listen.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
I remember one time we played Detroit and I remember
a pre game because you know, I always got these
pregames Shenanigans.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
And I looked at the wide.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Receiver line at a Detroit and it was Roy Williams.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
He's six six' five two.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Twenty that's when they played us.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Here then they Had. Rogers rogers was about six Three Michigan.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
State then who was the third? Guy Calvin johnson Was
Calvin AND i looked over, there, like what are we
going to? Do because these dudes they had, dudes.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
And it was like three years in the.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Row they got the highest rated receiver in the, draft
AND i was, like you know, what this is gonna
be a, challenge BUT i can say this every time
we played, them we run at, battle we won at.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Battle so ALL i.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
Remember when it came To detroit, was, boy do they
got some big receivers out.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Here do you remember any of your status doing them?
Games like do YOU.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
I KNOW i picked, OFF i got an interception Against,
DETROIT a lot of tackles because they ran the ball
my way up, Tons, yeah, yeah what about you?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Blue for?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Me?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
MAN i just Remember detroit being in physical but mine
actually my mind actually remembery THAT i have For. Detroit,
actually the only THING i can remember about that game
Was santana's trum, returned because because if, not it just
felt like that game and we were, like man that we.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Could we felt like we could go in there and Beat.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Detroit rough.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Team we knew it was gonna be a rough, game
but some, teams you, know just or wild people getting.
Hurt and we was out there playing AND i don't
know if it was a close, game and then it
was a close, game then you broke that game, open
and it was like, man, damn they can pass the.
Ball now do something because it was, like, man we
was like we was in team period of nine on
seven or.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Something it was like physical. Game SO i go back
to that.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Return that was a special moment for me because it
was just like, MAN i was holding UP i just
remember boom like that made the difference in.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
The game for.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
You. Yeah, YEAH i always just like playing their.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
PERIOD i was just talking to you, Know maddie before
we got on the, show AND i was, like it's
crazy That i'm looking at the numbers that they had
down to, me and it was like five times we
played in the before in some yards so every. Time
but then if you add my My, jets yeah out
AND i scored a touchdown the first TIME i ever played. There,
well crazy is? Man throughout my career.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Like playing that team or like playing them In, detroit
which one.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Is In detroit for some odd reason WHEN i played,
there and it's because it's. Crazy so growing, UP i
had two childhood friends that left early went throughout my
middle school days and they was really cool and they
told Me i'm moving To. Detroit you know when you're
Young detroit and then we get, older and then they
found out how to get my number and they hit me. Up, hey,
(08:25):
bro we we In, Detroit, michigan and they heard you.
Coming so it was, like, DAMN i got. Them this
is my first time gonna be able to see them.
Again and THEN i AND i gave them tickets to the,
game and that's what ignited, It like you got people there.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
That you, share you share.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
The bond with and they get the chance to see
you play this game THAT i grew, up you, know
playing in the. Neighborhood SO i think it was that
set it. Off every TIME i go To, detroit they,
There i'm sending them the.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Tickets but the crazy thing about, That, TANN i don't
even think you was a regular season you weren't probably
turning four.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Time, yeah it's.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
A different blocking For tanna compared To ram The.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Lady so What danny, said just go back to the
house getting day.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Was, like, hey you, know, sparked give me a spart.
Today i'm, LIKE i got your.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Coach and when he asked, ME i had already scored
to touchdown on the offensive. Side he's, like, well you
tearing them. UP i need that spot and special teams
ain't doing. Nothing and y'all remember the game was kind of.
Close it was like one score away and that kind
of you, know opened it, up, Man and it.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
Was, Yeah AND i always wondered to going back To
fred real. Quick you ain't touch on, it, Man you
was in That. Minnesota what's? That what does it feel?
Different Like joit always Felt tanna, love it Felt detroit
always felt weird to.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Me there was a division rival at the, time so
it felt normal to. Me and my best, games LIKE
i always told, YOU i ain't never had a bad
game against Green, Bay like Green bay was the eighteam for.
ME i always played like it's no matter who what
JERSEY i got. On Like tanner say he loved Playing.
DETROIT i love playing Green bay no matter. What so
(10:00):
one of them things where at the playing because for
some reason here In, washington we always played Green bay
like we, always no matter what going, on we Played
Green bay and we Played chicago at a high. Level
SO i was used to playing them by the TIME
i got to that. Division so it was fun for.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Me, yeah, MAN i mean those memories always always good going, back,
Man and now you just it's crazy how you know
those those, Times detroit wasn't on that that. High NOW
i can consider like the last few years since they
Got Dan, Campbell, man things have been on the.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
Farm, well NOW i think about, It i'd have picked
off every team in THE Nfc North oh, Wow, Yeah, Bears, Minnesota,
detroit me, too like all of them.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Too, yeah all, right, fellas, well we're gonna we're finish
jumping to. This you, know we're gonna dive and jump
into this fast lane. Segment, man and talk a little
bit a little bit more about this matchup against The
commanders In week ten.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Against The Detroit.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Lions All, right it's gonna be tough fast lane present
By Eastern Automotive, group any car any way for.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Everyone since nineteen eighty.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Eight, fellas we come into week, ten man down another.
Soldier seemed like every week we get we come on
down this one. Here man hurts a little differently because
despite some of the guys who are going to be
put on our our our field as, leader As fred
would say back in the days when we had old
j camp our field is league now Is Jaden Daniels
(11:28):
man and he'll be out this. Weekend but we have
another one that we think highly of And. Marioda, man
what you Think marioda got got in the store for
us going into this matchup Against.
Speaker 5 (11:39):
DETROIT i think he's one of the best backups in the.
LEAGUE i don't look at him as a. BACKUP i
look at him at the thirty third store and, quarterback
especially all the players he done played this.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Year so the.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
One THING i can say is Because jaden have missed
so many, Games marioda is in.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Rhythm he's not your average backup.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
Quarterbacks you're throwing him in there AND i often stage the.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Same nothing changes when he comes.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
In, ACTUALLY i think we kind of run our pos
a little bit more reckless when he's.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
In there then we do with with with WITH jd.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
Five but this is gonna be a challenge and it's
gonna BE i say this that we still run as much.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Now that we know That jay may be all a little.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
Longer, well we don't need to weaponize the run game
to keep That detroit offense on their.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Sideline, so speaking of weaponizing a run, game what what
can we do to ignite that because that's one of
the things that we've been saying we got to get
back to and every week it seems like we, trying
but then don't look the same.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
As what our line would have been improved when, EVERYBODY
i think we did a good, job But i've seen
this week we actually went on the.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
Center we went on the center a couple of.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Times like if to, me if you want to regnite
that run, game do it from under. Center so it
not only regnites that run game because it makes it
hard to know which side or running back if they
gonna get the.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Ball it's different than the.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Shotgun so if we can get back on the center
a little bit, more it opened up that play action
game and get a wide receiver space to go make some.
Plays SO i just want to see us under center
just a little bit, more AND i think we could
do that With. Mariota it gives you three levels to attack.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
On to your, Point, santanna, like, right game show. Up
we gotta take the.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Pressure that's where we're healthy.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
At like if you want to say where we're healthy
at this running, backs running, back everybody's still in.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Tack everybody's still.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
THERE i hate to say this BECAUSE i know everybody
love one hundred Dollars bill AND i do. Too this
Is Chris rodriguez. Game this is a three yards in
the cloud of. Dust this IS i need four twelve play,
drives and we can get twelve play drives in this.
One stalling that offense over there on that sideline and
Letting chris go.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Downhill we got a. Chance like it's it's always a,
way is?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
THAT i mean looking at the game last? Year, WELL i,
mean you can't even look at the game last, year
but you kind of have to think about. It last
year it was the Flip detroit was. Banged and now we're,
back we're, there we coming.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Here we definitely trade. Places but look thinking about it
like this.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Too you guys talked about that's what we need to,
do getting the run game, established and you know you
can't be you have to have a balanced attack against good.
Defenses and to, ME i feel like it's bigger than.
THAT i think it's not necessarily just the guys who
are actually running the. FOOTBALL i GUESS i think it's
the guys up front and everything and sound that we,
can we, want we will hope we're going to be
(14:22):
in a run. Game we have to be that more
that that much more stout in the. Past protection part of,
it because you think About detroit coming. In they got
hushers in over. There they're second in the league in.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Sacks like they got guys in the.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Back it's one thing of just protecting the.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Guy but if you're not running, well you can scrap
all that protective because now they're coming at you with different,
stunts different.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Looks they gonna find a way to get back there to.
You they're predominant man and man. Team they blitz at
a high. Rate they play man and man at a high.
Rate we know from playing a lot of man and
man you can get one. Pass, yeah they go to.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Key how many big plays can you get?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Past and A hutcheson is the force when it comes
to Pass russian like know where he's at at all
times that.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Point you can get a, play but you gotta get.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
It because if you, don't they're gonna tell.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Where they heard.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
It they hurt in the defensive back, field like they
got defensive backs going in and. Out so if you
want to, say all, right where are they lacking right
now on, defense it's.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Gonna be in the back.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
End if they're, healthy they got the.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Best, again we got to have a heavy dose of
of earths and and, Debo like and.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Use their aggressiveness against. Them if they're gonna blitch, you
and you know they're gonna blitch, you scream draws like
let them play into your real with let me.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Add let's actually some dang you. Know obviously he's. Known
he's an office coach for the physicalist. Team it's got
this physical. Identity dan. Came i'm sorry if You, dan
do you come in and blisters or you play zone
and just tell?
Speaker 5 (15:56):
Off why would you play zone when our receivers are?
Hurt that's a, point you know What i'm, Saying, like
that's why they defensive coordinated gonna look and, say you know,
what my guys can handle this.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Guy chicago opened up just like. That chicago have a Safety.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And that's almost disrespectful because if you see a team
Say i'm gonna stack Your i'm gonna stack this, Box
i'm gonna Play i'm a single guys on the, outside
that's basically telling you to try. Me you know What i'm, saying,
like try me and eventually first play, eventually.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Because this is my thing about playing this. Game and we.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Talked about this highly of this one particular guy last,
year Nor Nor Brown. Brown every time we threw a
ball up at him if he wasn't bringing it. Down
it was a passing. Experience you see how much they
call passing the friends. NOWADAYS i mean you could you
could barely even run by a guy without saying that
you touch them some kind of as a defensive. Back
so you have to try these. Guys you have to
(16:48):
throw the ball up at. Times, now this has got
to be one of those games where whether It's robbie,
chosen whether it's gonna be The, Birks, like these guys
got to come up even if you're not catching the,
ball you gotta try, to you, know force.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Them guys to Engage, bingo you got to you gotta.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Be engaged with these guys on the outside or another to, say,
Hey i'm either gonna come down with a big play
or you gotta P i me for me not to
get this.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Ball and then on the flip side of the you
know they're gonna do that to us with them. Receivers,
yeah they're gonna push the. Ball and that's my, Thing
like you know WHAT i, mean they got the guys
to get. Over But i'm just saying for right now
where we're hurting that in the receiver. Room you have to,
say if they're gonna play, us, man AND i know
they're gonna stack this box and they're gonna be bringing
guys like you, say the second in sacks with twenty
(17:32):
eight some.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Sacks, look we gotta make sure we getting that ball
on the. Outside they gotta be a heavy Zach. Urs
they gotta be a Heavy. Debo AND i don't talk about,
this this sideline of Sideline. Debo debo gotta run some. Routes,
yeah he Got we got to get him in some.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
ROUTES i need him in the middle of the. Field
we got to force.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Him we got to put him out there in the
slot and, say put your best guy on them or
your second best guy on, them and we're gonna work.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It, well here go think about.
Speaker 5 (17:53):
It if you're gonna run, man the man on, Me
i'm gonna Put debo in the middle of the field
and give them trust routes to route, times across.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Route everything THAT i can think.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Of i'm gonna let you see it this, week because
at the end of the, day if you're gonna play
this man and man that that middle south middle south
of them outside lane is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
SOUTH i hate to Play devil's out, thecate but do.
IT i hate to play devils out because me And
smooth ran that defense and it was what it was
when we felt like people couldn't get away from. It
so it was, like whatever y'all, run don't matter because
y'all don't have the guys that keep not you.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
But also come in there thinking that and somebody but
you know that.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Arrogance i'm just, saying you, know it's, crazy but it
should work for, you especially when that no name guy comes,
up because you, know like we, know we done study to.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Stop Joey galloway.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
All week and Now joey gets hurt and not this
dude that we ain't studyed comes in the game and
he works. Us he works, us not because he, better
he works until we don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It, yeah let's witch lanes a little.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Bit we done talked about you know them on d,
defense and let's talk about our secondary a little. Bit
knowing what we got the face Of Saint brown And Williams.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Williamson w uh, right, now.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
The porter, is, so what are some of the things
we gotta do in our? Secondary we know we're gonna
be down the man a couple of.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
MEN a couple of.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Men now we got a couple OF i think it
starts with Coach jo Wep.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Man when you play in a group like, that and
obviously the front cover is tied, in but you gotta
show him different. Looks the pre snap look can post
snap look got to be totally different Against jared go
and and You, tanner you know from an experience court
what years golf in the. League he's PROBABLY i don't
know how. MUCH i don't know HOW i know these
(19:44):
ten plus. YEARS i don't know how much we're on,
confusion BUT i know one. Thing he's surgical if we
don't show him.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Good but he also sitting up to he's a, guy
no way he's gonna, be you.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Know so that's why you gotta show different. Looks get
him to hold the ball post snap for the.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Look but go where things messed. Up if you coordinate
against this. Offense they running the ball so, Well they
running the ball so well that you can't just play cover.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Too you can't just play cover four to cover you from.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
Us understand That i'm, gonna like you, said pre, snap
we're gonna have to show way more than we've been
showing all year. Long we got to do some simulated
pressures where it looked like we. PRESSURE i, THOUGHT i
thought we did and you, guys you.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
GUYS i probably was a, sweet you, know party and too,
much but y'all had a better view of the, game
AND i thought we did that Against, seattle THOUGH i
really thought we tried to show that we.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Did but BUT i feel like at time thought they
was able to.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Me then it's just my.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Standpoint from my, OPINION i feel like they was able
to move the pocket well well against, us and when
you're not and when you can put the quarterback in
a situation where he's, comfortable, samn he had the gun
behind that comfortable ability that he had to just slice
and dice us. Up so this is a little different
from FROM.
Speaker 5 (21:07):
I Think detroit lines better Than. Seattle, No detroit line
is line is.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Better But i'm just saying far as how they run their,
offense the offense was a was an offense that we.
Knew if he has the, time it's gonna be like paper, cuts.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Sir you know What i'm.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Saying he's gonna slight you so many times before you know,
it but you're gonna feel like the wide, open you,
Know and that's how it. Looked they were just every
chance he, got it was like it was and he
was perfect.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Too so you, know from the, game can we take
from the game the playoff game that was played last
year that we can utilize in this game this year
because they only thing different about this offense from last
year is their. Software in the, middle they got a new,
center center retired and two guards new. Guards so this
(21:57):
is a pain kindlog, Game like if we gonna mess
this game, up it's gonna be through THE a and
through the big, gap especially when we missing the guy
Like Frankie. Lou it's going for one of those.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Games and it's funny you say, that but when you
say thinking because because you Got Dave. Montgomery but then they,
shot they're tossing into the boundary with ja Mayor.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Gibbs he his, Right you, KNOW i.
Speaker 5 (22:20):
Don't know who fast between him And, james BUT i
don't know his ability to depressed that hole and then bounce.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
On you.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Can we got going for grass this week and not
on that, turn you, right because the turf team don't
do well in the.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Grass in the.
Speaker 4 (22:40):
ELEMENTS i seen that boy run At Georgia. Tech he's
been running The alabama and.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Grass i'm just, Saying i'm just saying that he's gonna
be down. AGAIN i, know being a, speaster. Bro when
you on that, ground don't get me, wrong you're still.
Fast but it's a difference because that grass give a
little different than that. Turf and that's the only thing
we got going for is too because you, know he
put that foot in the ground like some of the
best of. Them and you're talking about you don't know
who fast out of him and your Boy, JAMES i
(23:04):
don't know who fast out of. Him and the dude Be,
john you, Know AND i, mean it's just crazy how
you got to. ME i feel like it's like And
i'm glad you brought them. Up it's like you very
seldom see running backs that can like almost look like each.
Other you Got, john you Got, taylor and you got.
HIM i feel like they all are like but they the.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Same they all. Track this is the. Difference they track
styles that can run THE a and THE. B usually
you get a track style tail man.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Outside all he gonna do is run Toss these boys
with well a TECTIVE b gap out of a gap
and they will bounce.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
It but WHEN i say they lateral, movement it's.
Speaker 5 (23:43):
Ridiculous it's. Ridiculous so this is What i'm, saying we're
going to Do james cooking that boat To james looking.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Book this is just a different style of. Running but they.
Speaker 5 (23:51):
All in that book WAS i think you gonna have
to make the one. Dimensional now what one dimensional do you?
Want do you want to force him to? Run do
you want to force from the? PAIN i say forced
them the, past Because.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
God full time this year we ain't picked.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
Them he had four.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
PIXELS i don't.
Speaker 5 (24:08):
Know What i'm saying is it's some it's some remnants
of last, year like come, on don't like This detroit
team ain't gonna come in here like we're still mad
about it last?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Year CAN i?
Speaker 4 (24:18):
CAN i be honest with, YOU i don't even know
to your, POINT i don't know where they've been blocking
and running you see it. RUNNING i don't know if
you can force them to pass what you, guys good.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Do? It you?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Can you?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
CAN i THINK i THINK i think they have their
moments when they run, well and they had their moments
where they passed. Well BUT i think you, know just
speaking of talking, about you, know forcing them to kind of.
Run and one of the guys we got on the,
Show Jeremy. Reeves, man he's been thrust into a job
of being our prim one of our, premier and that's
one of the Things i've been noticing from this. Guy
(24:48):
this some of the things he's been doing in the run.
Game you, Know so normally you talk about a guy
who's out there playing, safety but he's been showing up
in that. Box what are some of the things you
guys are seeing From jeremy quick.
Speaker 4 (24:58):
Reaction, yeah you, know you, know you're talking about a
guy who's known for a special, team so you know
he got physical presence and he's. Tough but, man his,
reads you, know reading the tackles and. Guards, man he
had twelve yards and he hitting people at the line of.
Scrimmage and it's not that he's. Guessing he actually is
actually reading and getting down in our. Box that boys
(25:19):
boy getting he getting. Downhill i'm gonna tell you, This
and you, said look Like Ryan, CLARK i saw that, Too.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Bi ryan was the, same right.
Speaker 5 (25:26):
Boom But i'm gonna tell you all of us grew
up in the neighborhood and you know how you walk
past that one house and it's this homegry dog that
staying in the front.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yard so you know you got to run every.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Time everybody's that home red dog because for his life
he's been special, team special, team specch. Team now he's
finally getting their chance to play on defense and.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
He's making his prisons failed homebry.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
Dog, style like you can always tell with somebody playing
with this, edge and he played with their, edge AND
i love it like he's if it's been a bright
spot this. Year he's been one of the SPEAKING i
think because.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
His, films because you, know we we always we love
having show he smart, dude, intelligent.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Intelligent speaking of just him being a hongry. Dog and
we were talking about some of the things that we
can do to getting back To Jared golf and how
can we slow him, down how can we get him
rattled like we did last year and that that playoff.
GAME i think that's something that we need to see
more of. Too i've seen teams do it to us
timely blitz on the second and third. Level when you
got a guy Like revo doing some of the things
(26:25):
he's doing in the run game coming, UP i would
love to see us mix up some of them stunts
and have him coming in and setting the.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Tone and so you want to blitz with spink is
a good one for, You.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Santanna so we Had Sam, donald who's Mobile and now
you said we talked About Jack. Golf does that change
as does that change from what's your thoughts? On first of,
one where you ranked Like Jared golf compared to some
of the quarterbacks, league BECAUSE i don't think.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
He's better than what they give.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
HIM i think the top ten quought he was better
than say.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
And how you Play.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Minnesota they Played minnesota like that until last.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
When golf is the top. Guy i'm sorry you.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
THINK i Think golf don't get enough credit for what
he's he's done up to this point in his.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Career well he's been to the Super.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Bowl but BUT i do believe if you allow him
to have similar pocket That sam, had he's.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
A modern Day Matt. Ryan, yeah that's who he. Is decision,
thrower hockey, passer.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
And that team believe in. Him the team got his,
back like they that's their due and that's what you.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
Need like you you could tell just from how he,
embraces you, know being out there playing playing for those.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Guys Dan campbell has that same kind of edge to.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Him i'm not even saying it's an energy, yeah that
Dan quinn gives. Off they have the same energy that
they that the players do a little more for them
because they appreciate.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
The love that they're.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
Giving she's been in our. Shoe but that's what, players
his receivers look like. Like at the receivers when you
see it.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That confident and knowing that he's gonna Get look put
it like. This remember how we just talked about us
playing in seven and we went to that post we
had that postseason, run and we had it With Todd.
Collins if the average football fan ain't looking At Todd connins,
like oh, boy we got one of the best, Quarterbacks
but the receiver's response is we got one of the
(28:30):
best quarterbacks quarterback in us leading us onto this this
run because we was confident in knowing that he's going
to throw the ball to us where we need to
be on, time one, time and that's all you.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Want that's what.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Brings, yeah that's why you see everybody getting the.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Ball you got all, yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
You're, right Store. Fast this is not the team to start.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Slowly this team has the hot high obtained on, offense
and they turned the ball over on.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Defense we gotta. Starts if you, don't they're.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
Buried Dan, QUINN i Mean Dan campbell's gonna come to
that game looking at it, like, hey you see what you?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
See what? Did that's?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Show and we can be just like this and you,
know having that kind of running backs that they, have you,
Know sonic And knuckleho's in the, backfield the receivers they
got on the outside tight, end if you want to
be technical about. IT i know they're not playing on,
turf but this might be the new modern day fastest
offense on, turf you know WHAT i, mean fast show on,
turf because from from every, position skill position they, got they,
(29:33):
got they got a, dude they got a, blazer you
know WHAT i. Mean they a, pounder a blazer on.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Every is just the best office for wedn Face.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Uh cowboys offenses clicking at a high, level clicking.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
At a little hot and. Cold But i'm talking about
when we face, yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Yeah because the quarterback combination with this receivers and the
RUNNING i think this is.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
The big here second offensive that when it comes to
edge guys running backs tight.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
End they got a.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Complete greu, Complete SO i just respect. That it's a
whole lot of. Pressure so you gotta you. Gotta i'm

guys we don't know him As. Revo It's Jeremy Reives,
Man welcome to the, show.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
BROTHER i appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Man, MAN i, mean you, KNOW i want to die
right into this thing because it.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Feels like the last time we had you, around we
were big up on you on.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Just going to the pro, bo.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
All the things you've done the special team side of the.
Ball and this, Year, man you're, seven it just seemed,
like you, know you got an opportunity and it's something
that you, know we all probably have waited for in
this league to have that one opportunity or that chance
to kind of do something that we've been wanting to
do all our. Life and it seemed like now to
see you on, DEFENSE i honestly can see you, know
(31:56):
the honger and the grit and all the things that
you probably put in to your game and to the
preparation of you being where you're at. Today, yeah how
has it been for you man to now kind of
get a chance to be on that.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Side of the ball and you're living up to.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
It, Uh it's been a, blessing. Right it's like for,
me it's like the things you pray, for they don't
know necessarily when they're gonna. Come, yeah, right, Right So
i've been praying for that, forever, right and then you,
Know god says it's, time, Right it's time, Now that
would just happen to be years down the. Road so
like for, me the preparation always was just to prepare
(32:31):
as if the time is, today because it's just you
just don't know when it's gonna. Come and so this
is a violent game and people go, down and so
when you go, down it's got to be next man
up and it can't be a drop off from. That
So i've just tried to you, know help my team
in any way, possible and you, know with my play
style and HOW i, play just add that to the.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Unit.
Speaker 5 (32:55):
Right and you talked about drop off Now Pro Bowl
special team players on defense making the.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Impact you never forget about the special.
Speaker 5 (33:04):
Team how you playing it high intense defense and not
dropping off on special.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
Team just, understanding, man those dudes counting me just as
much as the guys on. Defense, dude those a my.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Guys so.
Speaker 6 (33:18):
For me understanding that they all this is their livelihood,
too and so they depend on me for their livelihood
Because i've been there, right depending on you, know toother
guys from my livelihood so just remembering that like this
ain't no, playoff this ain't no down, off, Right LIKE
i gotta go cover AND i gotta go protect and
do all those things because they need, me, right trust
need me to get the pun off. Right the gunners
(33:40):
need me so they can go down there and. Cover
the protection needs. Me so there's not a free runner
understanding that it's all tied into, it, Man and at
the end of the, day it just come down the wheel, power,
right just you gotta fight despite how you, feeling despite
the circumstances of what it. Is, right there ain't no,
quit no, cerementer no. Retreat it's ALL i lived. By
so that's really the mentality to that.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
Point so it hadn't been a drop off in your,
play and your play at safety has been.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Incredible.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Man we've had a chance to see every week we
talking about, man we all did throwing this body, around you,
Know so you're putting in that work swamp and.
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Paint the read has been.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
Crisp you, know what's that preparation, now like on the, defense,
right because you only got so many hours and it
looks like you just know your stuff.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
Putting in over time like your film work is, crazy,
Huh no.
Speaker 6 (34:28):
DOUBT i didn't like how it.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Started for.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
ME i was a little bit all over the, place
maybe the, nerves maybe a little bit. Everywhere and so
the best part of my game is my. Tackling at,
first my tackling wasn't, there and that was something that
really pissed me, off to be, honest because that's What
i'm known.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
For and so for, me how did you get good at?
Tackling like that man talked about keep going add that?
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Part there was a there's an element of, sacrifice and
the sacrifice came out home, like, hey, LISTEN, Michaela LIKE
i love, you but right, now like during the, WEEK
i might not have a lot of, time right it's
going to be just one day THAT i can we
can go on a date night or something like. That
but for the most, part Like i'm dedicated to this
(35:11):
right now BECAUSE i don't know how long this window
is going to. Be, yeah and SO i got to
maximize this window to the best of my, ability because,
again people depend on, me, right and so to piggyback
off you know your. Question the WAY i got better
at it WAS i changed the mindset and THEN i
worked at it right before, Practice LIKE i go out
(35:31):
there And i'm hitting the, bag same, foot same, shoulder
taking the extra, step working on those details in practice
when a god breaks free through the line and just
coming to balance and then you, know making that extracep
seeing and stick things that you know are the toughest
playing football open one hundred. Percent but those are the
things that are expected of, me and that's the things
THAT i expected. Myself so just taking ownership of that
(35:52):
man has been the thing that's kind of transitioned from
When i've really started to play on defense to you,
know Where i'm at now is just taking every rep
as if it's you, know a game.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Rep so you talked about, sacrificing AND i think one
of the things that we take for granted is that
what all we put in to just being that player
each and.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Every, weekend each and every ball.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Game how hard is it sometimes when it's musical, chairs
when it comes to those positions back, There i'm watching you,
guys it's you is another. Guy there's so many different
guys and fans just feel like you have to go
out there and get it.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Done it takes. Time how hard is that?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Man kind of you, know putting all that.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Together it Takes it takes, time like you, said and
it takes. Chemistry and you, KNOW i believe roll one
building to day man and so things take time and
they take, consistency and it's just repetition over and over
and over, again because like you, said it's different bodies out.
There one player might be out there With kwann And
i'm at. Safety the next player might be at the
diningbacker And i'm next To bobby And oosen and another,
(36:54):
play you, Know i'm in the middle of the Field kawns.
Down so it's like it all it's rotating a lot of,
people no, doubt but it's a lot of studying and
it's a lot of communication with the guys that you're
out there, with and just you, know there's been times
Where i've been running off the field And i'm telling
the guy that's running on the, field, like, hey this
is the, call this is what you know they might be.
Doing so it's just that element of the game that you,
(37:17):
know it's probably it actually isn't seen by fans a,
lot but that's the part of it that you know
is you, know the biggest thing about it is just
like it it ain't building a day, right and it takes,
time and so that clock it just doesn't you, know
it's not a normal.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
Clock. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Yeah the, biggest another big aspect of your, game besides the,
physicality besides what you do on special, team is your.
Leadership your. Leadership you can see it coming out THE
tv if you're watching it from. Home your leadership is there.
Now we all us been in four or five. Six
i've me in my rookie. Year we started off four and,
six we didn't win a game to the same game
of the.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
Year how is how hard is it for you to
lead by exam? Up but when things ain't going? Right
because we all it's easy to leave when things, Easily
but when it's.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
Going bad like, this how do you bring the locker
room back together and, say you know what we, got
finished what we, started no.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
Doubt to be, fair like you, said it's easy to
be a front.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Runner it's all going.
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Well it's easy to be at the.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Front saying, hey this is what we're. Doing yeah it's
going to.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Go but to be honest with, YOU i know what
this part feels like more than being the front, runner
Because i've been here my whole. Career, yeah SO i
know what it's like to be at the bottom and.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Have to call your way out of.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
It however they may look right being on the roster
situation or or you, know the record, wise JUST i understand.
That SO i understand what it's like to just have
to pick back up when it don't go your way
and get back to work and find whatever it is
that you need to hold onto to get better and
(38:51):
make the unit. Better and, honestly my biggest thing right
now is JUST i want to see everybody do good.
MAN i want to see everybody, win BECAUSE i know
what it is like to feel AND i know what
it's like to fail over and over and over again
until you hit that. Cusp but for, us right it's
just like you just got to take it one at
a time and just reminding, guys especially the young, guys, like, hey, listen,
(39:11):
bro like a play don't define. YOU i don't care
what the outside no it. Says play don't define, you a,
mistackle don't define. You none of that stuff defines. You
right at the end of the, day when you look
in the, mirror you know who you, are not nobody.
Else and so you got to remember that in them
times when it's tough and it's, uncomfortable because that breeds
you know who you're going to be at the end
of the.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
Day it's a part of it is telling don't listen
to the.
Speaker 6 (39:32):
Outside you, can't, man because, listen Like i've, Been i've
been on the, outside, Right SO i, understand, Right, like
there's a lot of emotions that go into, this. Right
people pay and invest time into a team and like
to state favorite, Team they've grown up in, it they love,
(39:55):
it the family love, it, right and so there's a
lot of investment in, that, right and so when it
doesn't go, well there's a lot of emotion that's attached to.
It that's a lot of emotion when it goes good
and when it goes. Bad so you got to remember,
That like feelings, Fluctuate yeah they. Do we're, Human so
LIKE i can be happy right here and, bad right
they as good as it is it. Is So i've just,
(40:17):
learned And i'm telling these young guys to just stay. Here,
yeah don't ride the roller coaster because if you, do
it's gonna reflect in your. Game so you got to, Right,
like when it was going bad for me And i'm
missing tackles and they having big.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Games.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
RIGHT i could have easily rolled the roller, coaster but
it's like, nah LIKE i know WHO i. Am let's
get back to the. Basics let's stay, here and then
it slept you slowly gradually get out of.
Speaker 2 (40:39):
It, well you, know, man we love on, here man
and talk to you all. Day we have a part
where we ask ALL i guess to sign the.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
