Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah, Gator rays we've been we've been there.

Speaker 8 (02:15):
Maybe did you workshop that before we came out?

Speaker 9 (02:16):
No?

Speaker 8 (02:17):
I just realized, like you just did some research.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Gatorade I Gatorade.

Speaker 8 (02:21):
Okay, I respect that. All right, So let's get started, boys.

Speaker 7 (02:24):
So it is Christmas Eve and on Christmas I think
it's really important that we have our Christmas list, right, yes,
and so London, why don't we start with you?

Speaker 5 (02:31):
Because you're because.

Speaker 8 (02:32):
You're the best looking guy here.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (02:33):
What for Christmas do you want? What do you want
for Christmas this year?

Speaker 5 (02:37):
You know what? Man?

Speaker 10 (02:38):
I love the Christmas season and for Christmas this year,
I would love for Bobby Wagner to join Ray Lewis
and myself two thousand tackle club.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
That's that.

Speaker 10 (02:54):
There's only been two players in the history of the
National Football League to record over two thousand tackles. I
mentioned ray Lewis, he's number one, yours truly number two.
Bobby is coming. He's approaching two thousands. So that's why
I want that for so Fred.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
That very very you know, he's very clear.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
The thing I love about it, I cannot wait for
Bobby wagging to break him to be knocked one, not somebody.

Speaker 8 (03:23):
He's close, man, he's like eighty tackles away right now
he's less down or well after after. I'm saying that.

Speaker 10 (03:30):
Now he's inside of twenty something. He's as far as
when it's two thousand tackles.

Speaker 8 (03:34):
He's twenty twenty five, he's twenty five. But I'm saying
to beat your he's like.

Speaker 10 (03:38):
Yeah, in the game he was eighty, so he's probably
in the seventies.

Speaker 8 (03:43):
Now does that make you nervous or do you excited? For?

Speaker 9 (03:46):
No?

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Man, I can't go make any more tackles.

Speaker 8 (03:47):
You did tell me you could make one more tackle
off your head?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
I got you got one, he told me. Y'all know
when I sit back in the group, Yeah you got one.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
What do you have to pay you?

Speaker 8 (03:58):
Right?

Speaker 5 (03:59):
They don't have to pay you tackle smooth.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
What's the thing about it? Is it we will bring
light to that. It's just Ray Lewis shows three in London, Fletcher.
So I think the side effect that it is them
knowing that I got to go and put him in
the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 7 (04:12):
Yees, yeah, absolutely, there you go. All right, be Mitch,
what we got? What do you want for Christmas?

Speaker 5 (04:16):
But I want to see the young guys take that
next step.

Speaker 10 (04:18):
Everyone's been waiting for the young guys to play and
then I want to see them take ownership.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
Into their their careers.

Speaker 8 (04:23):
What do you mean by that, dude?

Speaker 10 (04:24):
And what I mean by that is, like so many
times people talk about what coaches can do for you,
a player can make the coach do stuff by showing
him what he's capable of. You know, when you're a
young guy, they're always waiting for you to show and
young guys sit up there and sometimes they're scared to
show it. I want to see a guy step out
there and say hey, hey, hey, I've been here and
let me show you what I have. They can I'm
not talking about by doing it with their mouth, show

(04:46):
it with your action on the football.

Speaker 8 (04:47):
Is there anybody you got here? Like? This guy needs stuff.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
I want to be able to take another step.

Speaker 10 (04:53):
I want to send it to take another step, you know,
I want to see yankof take another step. And we
know we've been watching Jaylen Lane doing hell go out
there and make it give another returns.

Speaker 8 (05:02):
Could you imagine if you got three? I mean breaking right?

Speaker 10 (05:05):
Problem with that, Tann and I get more excited than
Jalen think.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
He's going down with Johnny Newton too, Like I want
to see Johnny Newton takers.

Speaker 8 (05:13):
Yeah, yeah, that'd be awesome. Yeah. Lots of young guys,
lots of young guys with a lot of potential.

Speaker 6 (05:17):
Uh tenor Christmas my wish ships. I want more explosive plays.
And the way I want them explosive plays to be
had is by us leaning on our run game. That's
something that we've been talking about for the last what
seemed like the whole season, and that will allow or
open up our play action pass. I think a couple
of weeks ago we finally got them under the center,

(05:37):
you know, with the quarterback position starting to show and
me and London talk. I asked London this all the
time when I'm around m especially on the Players Club,
It's like, what does a quarterback under center?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Doug?

Speaker 6 (05:48):
I mean due to a linebacker when he's doing that
play action fake or even when he just handing it off.
And as a receiver, I knew, but I wanted to
hear from the gather himself and London said. London said,
it makes you second, It makes you hesitate, It makes
you have to, you know, you know, question yourself, is
he handing it off or is he finna? You know,

(06:10):
you know, play action, you know, fake it. And to me,
I think when we see these guys go up under
center and doing what they're doing. Now, you know, from
the last couple of weeks it has allowed us to
have rather bigger runs. And now you see Terry's back
and allowing guys to get up and down field. So
I want to see us lean on our run game
and be able to use that play action fake effectively.

Speaker 10 (06:31):
Now, I think when the quarterback turns its back to
go fake the handoff, the line lose the side of
the ball just a little bit.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
When you get it, just tick.

Speaker 10 (06:39):
It out in front of you see that stuff outtering.
We call it a token play. When you change your
back and change everything completely, it's uh. And another thing
when I talk about the effects of a play being
under center and the play action part. It slows down
the pass rush too, So it's not just affecting the
second level defenders, whether it's a linebacker, safety, whoever's on

(07:02):
that second level having to take a couple of steps
forward to respect the rump as a past rusher, as
a defensivelignment, there's a different technique you play when you
think is a run as you know how you uh,
you think it's passed, I have to shut it down
a little bit, and then I gotta confert to pass.

(07:22):
Russ was I realized this is a pass.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
So I know we're all talking here. Is there anybody
in the audience that has a Christmas wish for the
for the commanders?

Speaker 8 (07:30):
Anybody want to shout one out?

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Anybody beat the Cowboys?

Speaker 5 (07:36):
Got to throw out.

Speaker 7 (07:40):
That I ever received personally, I think when I got
a bike, because because it was like.

Speaker 8 (07:46):
Freedom, you know, parents face to be like, hey man,
go have a good time.

Speaker 6 (07:49):
That is everybody's favorite gift. I remember getting a bite
from mine. So I remember being young and having my
mom and dad getting me everything that I can ask
or probably didn't even ask for for Christmas, but.

Speaker 11 (08:02):
My aunt bringing me a bike and that was huge.

Speaker 6 (08:05):
For me because it showed me that man, they didn't
get me what I really want.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
But she knew, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (08:12):
And when she did that, I mean she just opened
up something like to this day that that was my
favorite aunt. Every year she she topped that. She topped
the bike with something bigger. So you're right, my bike.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
Fed what we got healthy. That's a good one.

Speaker 5 (08:29):
Very in the back fifteen years. That's what that.

Speaker 8 (08:34):
Past rushing defensivan. Yeah, talking a little draft.

Speaker 7 (08:39):
I love it saying that we gotta wish what you
got said us.

Speaker 8 (08:45):
Oh, I like god, yeah it happens.

Speaker 5 (08:51):
Yea great health and you say great health. I like that.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, I love it. Like, I like it. I like that.

Speaker 8 (09:04):
I like I talk about you what you're talking about.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
Fred don't like Fred don't want London then, though he does.

Speaker 10 (09:10):
I don't hate him. No, he wants me in I do,
but he gon. He don't hate the opportunity to speak
at the ceremony. Are you you know it's a long
time coming.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
I want to see that if you let Fred get
up there, trust me, it might be the best, it
might be the be the worst.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
Look no, no, trust me, that dude. There, I'm a
vouch for him.

Speaker 8 (09:32):
Well he does all your events.

Speaker 11 (09:34):
We get on Fred, but like I vouched for when
you put him from the mic.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah, he knows what he's doing.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's magical.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
So one of the fans took mind. I wanted to
beat the cowboys. Hit that man who said that, Yes,

I really want, besides that, is to just win out.
I want us to win out for a couple of reasons.
Check this out. We hate Philadelphia. Can we agree about that?
We agree about that?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Now.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
The one thing about the Bleacher creatures of philadelph The
one thing about them all right, they respect no one
and nothing and nothing would make me feel better than
to beat them twice in them to go into the
playoffs down themselves. Nothing would make me feel better. Then
create a rift between Jalen Hurts and mister Green.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I want it all.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
I mean, hey Brown, I want them to break up
and I want us to be the reason why.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Then we got the cowboys. Should I should? I have
to say anything?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
So if we went out, we hurt both of them
and nothing and nothing in the world and make me
feel better than that, I know, Hall.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
All right, so I guess because it is Christmas Eve,

You've got a yarn to to what they say. So
that's not the right way to say that.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
What is it? What's the right way to say that?

Speaker 8 (15:04):
Or to tell tell us, tell us what we got?
I do have a story. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
I like the voice.

Speaker 8 (15:12):
This is like the real Santa, that's Saint Nick.

Speaker 15 (15:17):
If I can figure this book out, we'll be in
good shape.

Speaker 8 (15:24):
Oh, we gotta take the gloves off. This is serious.
It's a serious.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Yeah. You are the biggest ilf in America right now.

Speaker 8 (15:31):
I am. Yeah. I'm in a bulking phase too. About
Oh you stop.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
A couple of people up here to eighty?

Speaker 8 (15:40):
Who else is too eighty? See problem? All right? Said
what we got?

Speaker 2 (15:51):
All right?

Speaker 15 (15:51):
This is the Commander's Christmas story? Okay, perfect for tomorrow. Yes,
when we whip up on.

Speaker 8 (15:56):
Down, love it, love it down.

Speaker 15 (16:01):
In Dallas, where the star shines bright lived the Cowboys
all grumpy with spiite regular season heroes playoffs. They turned
cold as ice. They hated the holidays and playing nice. Now,
every fan up in DC loved Christmas a lot, but
the Cowboys, those grinches most certainly did not. They sneered

(16:25):
at the carols, they boot at Christmas cheer. We're America's team,
they grumbled, the game should be here. It's our year.
Grown Dak with a villainous grin. We'll sack them, We'll
smack them, We'll steal a Christmas wind. They flew up
to Washington hearts two sizes too small to ruin Christmas

(16:47):
for Commanders fans at all. Now the day has come
for the Christmas Showdown with Game Day live streaming on YouTube, Facebook,
and x or wherever your Commander's content is found. Dallas
takes the field with despise in their eyes, poised to
deliver the Commander's demise.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm about to crack.

Speaker 8 (17:12):
This is good.

Speaker 15 (17:14):
Yet something was stirring in golden Burgundy hearts. The Commanders
were filled with Holidays smarts. They blocked like a wall
made a mule tide cement. Every rush from the Cowboys
was uselessly spent. Marcus needed no words, just a flick
of the wrists. He made them boys look slow, and

(17:36):
Michael looked missed. Mariota just laughed. Spun out of a sack,
hit Terry for the Tuddy put six on the rack.
Oday Dak became flustered and lost all his swagger. With
pressure from kin Law, Pain and Wagner, CD was silent

(17:56):
with anger. Pickings roared. Those cowboy faces turned meaner than before.
They tried to come back a fourth quarter heave, but
Washington said no. Not On Christmas Eve, Marcus to Terry
with one final score on their foe, and like Christmas magic,
it began to snow. The clock hit zero's, the upset complete.

(18:21):
The commanders had chilled all that Dallas heat. As the
gritchy cowboys slinked off, tails tucked in defeat.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Dan Quinn just smiled, cracked a pepsi so sweet.

Speaker 15 (18:34):
He raises to the fans and the cold Chris is
air raise hale to all the Commander's rule. Here dem
boys slunk off their star, dimmed and done, while d
C Saint Carol's hal victory Christmas is one.

Speaker 8 (18:51):
Dude, Yes.

Speaker 5 (18:54):
To get some Scotts and thank you good sadus real good.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
I don't think I ever got riad to by Sana
on Christmas.

Speaker 8 (19:03):
I like a tradition, though maybe you should do whatever here.

Speaker 5 (19:07):
That's because you're always naughty.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
I never got it.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
That's a hot cold in your stocking.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
That's fine. You turned cold to.

Speaker 8 (19:16):
Go and that wonderful Santa read is powered by Big Bear.
I missed you. Ready AI for a rapidly evolving world.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
Company Man, Company Man.

Speaker 8 (19:25):
All right, now, break two, We got more reads. Who's
up right now? Is a b Mitch?

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Go have another? West be West Virginia. It's like a
slow read too. All right, hold on.

Speaker 10 (19:38):
Microphone, Hold up, team, It's time to call a winter
audible because when the temps drop, the real magic kicks off.

Speaker 5 (19:47):
In West Virginia.

Speaker 10 (19:48):
Think trails that crunch like London Fletcher Ski runs for
every level of fan, a cozy cabin with a break
that won't break your budget. Trade lifts, lift line chaos
like free smooth for wide open slopes, high cocoa breaks,
my man logan, paulsy Hi cracking five and mountain dressed

(20:08):
and pressed in a banking a pure white. So grab
your squad, pack your coal, we swag like Tanna and
head to almost heaving this winter West Virginia.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
West Virginia, Virginia, I'm talking about.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
You don't have to clip for that read.

Speaker 7 (20:22):
If you don't like that, just remember you don't have
to if you don't want to just people, all right, So.

Speaker 8 (20:30):
I appreciate that. No, I appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
Let me take him out, yeah, no, Coco with Logan,
all right, No, so we got our Cowboys preview. Yes,
and again this is the second time we've seen this team.
I always found.

Speaker 8 (20:41):
As a player the second matchup was.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
The true tail and the tape.

Speaker 8 (20:45):
The true tail the tape.

Speaker 7 (20:46):
But also way more fun because you kind of knew
what they wanted, you know what, you know what they
did in the first matchup. It was a little bit like,
what are they gonna do in the second matchup? Was
that you guys experiences or am I crazy?

Speaker 8 (20:56):
Well?

Speaker 3 (20:56):
On defense, you know they gonna they're gonna have something
they gonna have. They gonna come back to what worked
in the first game, but you know they're gonna have
something off what worked in the first game. So if
they ran a reverse, it's gonna be a reverse pass,
like they're gonna layer to play, call it. And I
think the second game is a little tighter because of
the coordinators having the war not a coordinator's got a
true feel of how he wants to attack him, and

(21:18):
I think that will make it a lower scoring game
than the first game.

Speaker 10 (21:21):
But I think that we have to go out there
and dictate to them. I think what we did we
played into their hands last time. You know, as the
game went on, wegt to just do what they wanted
us to do. We became a past happy team. And
if you become a past happy team against him, you
take you. You don't attack their their weakness. Their weakness.
They can't really stop the run. And I know they've
added Quentin Williams and all those guys, they still suck

(21:42):
on defense. Yeah, okay, And I think what.

Speaker 8 (21:49):
I was like, I was like reading something on my
phone off Literally.

Speaker 10 (21:53):
I'm a nice guy out there, bad guy. I think
you have to go out there and be aggressive with
them and show them. Looksen man, football is won in
the trenches. We all buy the jerseys of the wide
receivers and the running backs and things like that. It's
one in the trenches. And you go out there and
you tell your guys, I want to see you win
this battle to night. If they go out there and
win that battle, they win the football. Well, I'm glad

(22:15):
you brought up winning the battle in the trenches, because
in that first game we lost the warfi the Dallas
Cowboys defensive front. They were more physical than us, and
we're being honest with ourselves, they were more physical than us.
The difference though, between us playing them back in Dallas
and us playing them now, we didn't have any healthy

(22:37):
receivers that yeah, he was still getting the sea legs.
We were what three tight and four tight ends up
in that ball game, maybe just a couple receivers up.
So it's a totally different offensive personnel group. And that
we all attacked the Collboys with Cowboys with they blitched
us a lot because they said, hey, they don't have

(22:57):
the receivers to beat us, they don't have players. Totally
different and I can't wait, I'm not James Brown type
of dude. The big payback's how you wanted to give
you a uniform? Hey this uh, this treak with this
pepsi him on pepsi pepsi.

Speaker 7 (23:19):
Last time you called it, you said, Oh, man, I
think they're gonna pressure a lot more. Do you think
they do the same thing in this matter?

Speaker 5 (23:24):
I don't.

Speaker 10 (23:24):
I don't think they will be able to as much
because because because of the Yeah, because when you look
at how we we went it to that ball game,
we were beat up, man, we had no, no, no no.
If it's to the other receivers, but it's the difference
when you got Sat Tanna Boss on the field and
you got you know, somebody from City Tap as a receiver.

(23:46):
It's a big difference. It's a big difference. I'm gonna
play Sat town of Boss totally different than the dude
right this from City Tap.

Speaker 5 (23:54):
But they go, I don't.

Speaker 10 (23:56):
They might still pressure a little bit, but it won't
nearly be as much as they did in that first
game because they were they were blistered against the run,
they were blistered against the pass. And now you Bliss,
you're gonna put them, You're gonna expose those quarters one
on one. Yeah, and Terry could take the top off
that defense.

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Can you talk about Terry's impact on what you've seen
the last couple of weeks and how you think of
impact this game tomorrow against the Cowboys.

Speaker 6 (24:18):
Well, I think that's one of the first things that
I want to speak on is just you know, what
he brings to the table when not only is his
presence alone make you have to switch up what you're
doing defensively, and that's huge, Like his impact goes way
beyond him making plays whether he catch a pass or not,
he's gonna get somebody else open because of the coverage

(24:38):
that they're gonna have to, you know, bring his way.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
So that's that's that's the huge.

Speaker 6 (24:43):
Part that I'm going to I'm looking forward to seeing
because we didn't see that.

Speaker 11 (24:47):
London just alluded to that. We didn't see that last
time around.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
Last time we had to sit out there and say,
hey man, we got all these tight ends in the game.
We allowed you to to basically dictate what you did,
you know what I mean, instead of us dictating what
we want to do. So terry presidents alone will open
up things offensively for us, but also help them give
us different looks. And the look is gonna be a
little more favor in for what we want to see

(25:11):
because they can't just play us the way they played
us last.

Speaker 5 (25:14):
And I'm gonna touch on this too.

Speaker 10 (25:16):
What the coaches would do is they're gonna keep showing
that offensive line how they got man handled in that
ball game, like I might just put the tape on,
not even say a word, just keep hitting rewind rewind.
So you're going in that game as a competitor, you're
pissed off, you're looking at it like, man, all right,

(25:36):
I can't I get another opportunity to show you who
I really am as a football player there. Defensively, we're
much better defense than where we were when we played
them back back in Dallas. We gave up a ton
of big players in that ball game, didn't tackle well
in that ball game. So I expect this to play
a lot better defensively as well in this ball game.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Yeah, obviously the defense has changed dramatically much more, obviously
with Pickings and Ceedee Lamb on the perimeter, and obviously
the tight end. Ferguson Fred like, how do you think
that zone element is gonna change the match up here?

Speaker 8 (26:09):
I feel like it's gonna be less explosive shots on
the field.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
I think if you play a lot of cover four,
I think you protect yourself from the big play. And
that's what you wanna do with Skinny DK. You wanna
make him drive the feel methodically. That means you want
them to have to do twelve thirteen fourteen play drives.
Because all of us been watching the Cowboys from Afar.
Every time we look up George Picking going for sixty,
Ceedee Lamb going for seventy, they are a big play offense,

(26:34):
and I hate to say it, nobody's really stopped them
in the NFL. So if you're gonna stop them, slowing
them down, it's the first step to doing it. Playing
some press cover four changes everything to me, especially if
it's kind of like with some match technique in there
where you matching the routes.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
It gives you chance to do that.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
But before you can even get there, to master that,
you gotta make them one dimension. You gotta take Williams
out of the football game. If they gonna pays, make
them pass, if they gonna run, make him run.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
I need you to be one dimension. I need you
to have one choice.

Speaker 5 (27:06):
Flud.

Speaker 10 (27:07):
I'm not pressing those receiversn't cover far. I ain't pressing uh,
George Pickens.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
I'm pressing going forward outside tech man.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
That's what he won't I would take.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
I would.

Speaker 10 (27:17):
I would try to take George out the game. George
out the game, them out of the game, though, Well,
you gotta, you gotta. You can't put one person on.
You're gonna have to jam him at the line, have
somebody over the top, all types of things.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
So who you rather who you're rather double bale.

Speaker 10 (27:35):
I rather double Pickings. Pickings cause problems. Once he gets
pissed off, frust coming again, he stops playing. Yeah, if
he stops playing, then he's gonna play into your hands.

Speaker 5 (27:47):
And then you go and you can stal with Ceedee Lamb.
Ceedee Lamb used to.

Speaker 10 (27:51):
Start doubling him, and Pickings got somebody one on one.
He's gonna cook all day and CD will still try
and play. You're talking about playing cover six, Well we'll
cloud cover.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Yeah, wankins.

Speaker 10 (28:01):
We're clouting with jamming him at the line of scrimmation,
but we got a safety over the top. He's frustrated
not getting the ball that we're playing QUARTERA like that
because I think Pickings is the one guy who is
not mentally tough enough to continue pushing through a game.
Ceedee Lamb will push through the game, so I want

(28:22):
to I want to make him upset so he quits.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
So now I'm playing ten against eleven.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
I'm surprised by that because the guy that I feel
like drives the offensive city Lamb change.

Speaker 8 (28:31):
I feel like you'd want to manage him. But again,
you're worried about the big place, about the big play.

Speaker 10 (28:36):
If you let Pickings go over and have somebody one
on one and he's getting the ball a lot, yes.

Speaker 3 (28:41):
And ceedee lamb leaves the NFL and drops So as
much as he gets fed the ball, it's gonna be
some players.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
That's incompleted there.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
But if I can take the big play out of there,
everything else, it's gonna beat trickles. You're gonna have to
beat me the good old fashioned all way. And I
don't think they just got that much.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
I don't think they just can wait. They want to
score points, and they wanted to sco on quick.

Speaker 7 (29:03):
I mean, but they've shown an ability to kind of
like you said this to me, it's like, can you
play situational football at high level? Can you kind of
batten down the hatches in the red zone, hold the
field goal.

Speaker 8 (29:13):
B and ten. I think the thing that I need
to see in this game, because of how dynamic that
offense is, I need.

Speaker 7 (29:18):
To see really good special teams play. I need to
see a big return for Dalen Lane. I need to
see production from all facets, good coverage groups, Like how
important would that spark be to kind of flush out
this game?

Speaker 3 (29:28):
And the reason I need to take the big play
away to tell you the truth. They got a lead
through kicker.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
If they crossed the last week.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
I'm just saying, but if they crossed the fifty yard land,
they got in his reign. So there's one big play.
That's why I want to take the big play away.
They got with it's and they got them more offense,
defense and special team.

Speaker 7 (29:50):
Yeah, absolutely, and so And the other thing I wanted
to ask Fletch was this was like the first time
I remember talking to you and in terms of defensive
run fits, being like, this is not to the standard
of you know, what's gonna win a football game in
the NFL. Can you talk about how you've seen that
improve since dan Quinn's taken over.

Speaker 10 (30:05):
Yeah, it seems like there's there's been a greater attention
of detail when when it comes to fitting the run.
And you know a lot of times we hear, hey,
they been playing an eight man box. It's how they're
able to run the football against a man box. Well,
if you run the football against a man box, if
somebody's not in their proper gap. So it's just about

(30:27):
attention to detail, making sure you own your gap, getting
off blocks.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
Williams had a bunch.

Speaker 10 (30:34):
Of big runs against this in that game between misfits
on the run and mistackles. So we've we've definitely gotten
a lot better in that we've seen guys like Kuhi
Martin Revolt show up in the run game as in safety.

Speaker 5 (30:50):
They know how to fit the runs a lot better
than this.

Speaker 10 (30:52):
So there's a greater infhensis on making sure you you
own your gap and you know exactly where you're supposed
to fit when it comes to stop it a run.

Speaker 5 (31:01):
And also I want to see more Jordan.

Speaker 10 (31:04):
McGee's that would be another Christmas type present. Jordan McGee
has shown up every time he's got an opportunity to
play in the football field. He will be a he
could play a major role in this ball.

Speaker 8 (31:15):
Game, Ted, I know that's a big you're a big
fan of Jordan McGee. What have you seen from him?

Speaker 7 (31:18):
And like, I know, you gotta smile on your face now,
Like how excited would you see him kind of get
a larger role on Christmas?

Speaker 6 (31:24):
I think his masturation has shown week after week after week.
At the week you know when you have a young
player that has uh, I guess you can say he
has a skill set that a lot of those other
linebackers can't match. He can run sideline the sideline, but
he also can bring the pain. He can bring that
thump behind him. And that's what I've been waiting to see.
I've been waiting to see him say, hey, you know what, Louisu,

(31:47):
you the guy? Yeah, waggoning, you the guy, But this
is my show. Sooner or later, you know what I mean.
And he's shown that himna make some tackles. I'm a
flash here in there, but I'm ready for him to takeover.
So you know, I'm glad that London brought him up
because cause we've been seeing flashes of them week out
the week out the week. But it's sooner or later,
you know. Like like Fred said, going into this this Postsea,

(32:08):
I mean, going into this off season, we need to
see these young guys show. They say, hey, you know
what before we go take this break, let me show
you guys, this is here's my resume for next year,
you know. And I think that's what Jordan need need
to do. You need to put a put a staple
on these last week.

Speaker 10 (32:24):
Comes to a point when you're a young guy where
you don't ever want to show disrespect.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
To the old guys.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
No, no, but you need to let them understand your presence.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
You're in my way. Okay, that's just how it goes. Man.

Speaker 10 (32:37):
This this thing is just like in the jungle. It's
a it's a psychle of life. Okay, you gona be
gone eventually. And if I see, I'm gonna let you
know that I'm coming. I want you to feel me
like a little puppy pipe biting at your heel.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Let you know.

Speaker 10 (32:51):
And I think that's what you're talking about. Respect them,
but let them know. I want that.

Speaker 8 (32:56):
So obviously we talked a lot about guys. We want
to see.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
Is there anybody that you guys want to you have
a big ay tomorrow on Christmas? Anybody we gotta think
a little bit.

Speaker 8 (33:06):
Who Senate benb.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Heart Mason Bill Bill.

Speaker 8 (33:17):
Dude, that would be awesome.

Speaker 5 (33:18):
I would love that would be.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Coming out too. We'll meet him down there and.

Speaker 7 (33:27):
Then you know, let's let's talk about Ben Senate real
quick because haven't talked abot him. I'll get to get
you one second. But like Ben Senate with Zach out
larger role, do we see that for him?

Speaker 8 (33:36):
Come? So?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
You know what's so crazy about this?

Speaker 6 (33:39):
At times when you have a guy that you think
so highly of you don't want to see you don't
want to give that young guy a chance. You know,
like you say yourself, Zach has been doing a hell
of a job. Why force the issue of moving Zach
out the way. Let's let's keep Zach. Let's let let's
keep feeding that. But I think now it's the situation
when we didn't we didn't want want this situation to happen,

(34:01):
but we're forced to say, being here's your shot. What
what better opportunity than you get then now to show
us that you know, yeah, I understand that Bates is here,
but this is my role to take over because you know,
when you get a guy like Zach, you know down
base has been known.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
It just got paid last last year to block.

Speaker 11 (34:22):
So we know what he can do. We know what
his attribute, his greatest attribute is.

Speaker 6 (34:26):
I was brought here to be that guy to stretch
the field and to do also the blocking aspect of it.

Speaker 11 (34:31):
But I'm the next pass catcher tight end here.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
So I think this opportunity is present, and I think
it's it's it's huge for him to take a full
advantage of him and say, hey, I'm here. You know
you gave him the opportunity because a guy went down.
Now I'm ready to feel in that boy and be
you talked about this. I think on our a couple
of shows what we did a couple of weeks ago.
But like, can you talk about like earning that opportunity.
I think a lot of fans like, give it to him.
It's here, it's like, but you got to earn the trust.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
Give it to him. And then if you go in
the game and you give it to the young guy,
he's not ready to pay lose the game. They want
you to get fired.

Speaker 10 (35:02):
You earn that in practice and the coaches listen, Man,
I know we cover the team and things like that.
We see way less than what the coaches see. The
coaches see everything, then they go in they dissect it.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
And if you.

Speaker 10 (35:15):
Saw zack erz compstantly being on the field and Ben not,
Ben didn't show that he could.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
Pass by Zach.

Speaker 10 (35:21):
But now Zach's not there anymore, and I think it's
all in his lap to say, hey, this is what
I've been waiting to do. Because the problem is a
lot of guys never expect to play and they practice
like that. Then when they get a chance to play
on the football field, they performed like that.

Speaker 5 (35:36):
So I hope to God that Ben.

Speaker 10 (35:38):
I mean, Ben has been saying I know I can
play and practicing like a starter, because if you listen
to most guys and they were backups at one point,
they all practice as if they were starters. So when
they got the chance to be a starter, they didn't
have to change anything.

Speaker 5 (35:52):
You know.

Speaker 10 (35:53):
Most guys practice like, oh, I'm just backing up somebody,
and when you get the chance, you now got to
turn it to somebody else. And that's very hard anybody
to do. You gotta dollar plays for him in practice though, too.

Speaker 7 (36:04):
But you can tell even in the what was that
the Giants game, there's a couple opportunities for him.

Speaker 10 (36:08):
But yeah, no, he was opening the ball, just didn't
make it find him. But I'm just sitting there in
the standpoint of you gotta say, hey, this is a
play for being We're gonna put him in a tree. Yeah,
he's the number one read let's go see see him
win on his routes.

Speaker 5 (36:24):
You can't.

Speaker 10 (36:25):
We want to know what he can do. But hell,
if you ain't throwing me the football in practice, you
throwing me one ball in the game, How am I
gonna give an opportunity to show you what I can do.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
You know you have to.

Speaker 10 (36:38):
I'm about to make it an Anazia, but I'm uh,
I'm myself, So you gotta, you gotta, you have to
give me multiple opportunity to gain my confidence, to to
show you if I know, I'm going into the game
and I got hey, I'm getting three they got three
players where I'm the number one target, and we've repped
these plays multiple times throughout the week. You better believe

(37:01):
when it comes top I'm gonna win my route. They
hopefully ball fives me and everything like that. So give
him opportunity to show he he could do. Hell everything
they thought through me catch So it's not like he's
you know, he's not catching the ball.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
Give him give more chances.

Speaker 5 (37:16):
Yeah, yeah, all right.

Speaker 7 (37:17):
So I think that segues nicely into Who's gonna eat?
Presented by a pepsi food deserves what friend, pep PEPs
So we'll start with the fans. Who do you guys
want to see eat tomorrow against the Cowboys. There's one person, Yes, sir,
what we got?

Speaker 6 (37:43):
I mean that's that's eating nine time out of one.
Seven is behind it?

Speaker 7 (37:47):

That's that's what Tanna wants everyone to say every week.

Speaker 6 (37:56):
I mean, you know what, Like, I'm not gonna just
be solely sold on Bill. Any one of those guys,
man Chris Rodriguez, who want to be hot going, who
want to be hot going into this off season?

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Listen.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
I'm not gonna let this dude fletch.

Speaker 8 (39:46):
What was your forty two? Uh?

Speaker 5 (39:48):
Four to three eight?

Speaker 3 (39:49):
He ran thirty eight yards down here?

Speaker 8 (39:52):

Speaker 9 (39:57):

Speaker 2 (39:57):
Gosh, lie lies? What boy lived?

Speaker 10 (40:08):
I want to commands to the shows and all these
different podcasts, uh players club, Fred and I we go
at it all and all just what we do.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
This is what they call love.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
And this is what a locker room feels like.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
No doubt, we kind of pick any.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
What you First time I met Fred didn't even know him.
I wanted to just kill him.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
I'm talking to you.

Speaker 10 (40:37):
You shouldn't trying to hit me like like Logan said, Logan, Fred,
you brought another side of Logan out man, because you
be with you all the time.

Speaker 5 (40:46):
Now, now, Logan's a nice brother and a nice guy.
You made him make him up.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Listen his credit and went down and there.

Speaker 8 (40:55):
All right, So the fans told us who they want
to eat, who they want to see tomorrow about you guys, Fletch,
you want to start us off?

Speaker 10 (41:01):
Yeah, Man, defensively, I want to see Deron Pain. You're
not just pay I want to see kin Law, he
Long Pain. They've been playing really well.

Speaker 5 (41:09):
The law firm of Kin Long Pain. I want to
see them.

Speaker 8 (41:11):
UDEs. Can you talk about what you've seen from them
Fletch last couple of weeks?

Speaker 5 (41:14):
Yeah, I mean I thought Dron all the season long.

Speaker 10 (41:17):
He's been our most consistent defensive player as a disruptive
defensive player, getting getting penetration in the backfield, tackles for loss,
has been great on screens, getting pressure on the quarterback.
Kin Law I would love to see. He doesn't have
the sacks, but he's disruptive as well, heavy handed. I
mean there's times he's slapping defensive offensive lineman out of

(41:39):
the way, and when he plays square he's tough to
deal with. You're not blocking him. So I want to
see those two guys when they play with power. They
can ruin an offensive game plan, especially when it comes
to stop of the run.

Speaker 8 (41:52):
I love it, man. They gets to be fired up
a little bit. How about you be I want.

Speaker 10 (41:55):
To see the offensive line because you know much.

Speaker 5 (42:01):
You wanted to say officer line.

Speaker 10 (42:03):
Well, I played behind one of the greatest ever, probably
the greatest.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
And I'm telling you, if the officer line eats.

Speaker 10 (42:09):
And win at the line of scrimmage, everybody who have
a fun day?

Speaker 7 (42:12):
Everybody that group? What made that group so good that
you played with? Made that group so good?

Speaker 5 (42:17):
Listen?

Speaker 10 (42:17):
We had Jim Lessay, probably more more athletic than any
any tight end was in the league at the time,
but they played so consistently together. Jeff Bostick was not
the biggest, uh what position he was a Jeff Bostick
was not the biggest center, But Jeff had that wrestling
like base interesting in the middle. He would just solidify

(42:37):
what he needs and then Russ Grimmot on one side,
you know, Mark May on the other side, and then
Joja Kobe was just an animal. You know what. I loved.
The bottom is when they went into a game, they
were as great together, but once you did something wrong
to a quarterback or whatever, they were the police as well,
and other defensive linemen knew, don't do nothing stupid because

(43:01):
they will take care of you.

Speaker 5 (43:03):
You know, they'll make sure. They were like Tom Wilson.

Speaker 10 (43:05):
On the hockey on the hockey arena, if you mess
with my guys, I'm gonna mess with you.

Speaker 5 (43:09):
And they knew not to get it done.

Speaker 10 (43:11):
But they were completely consistent and didn't make mistakes whatsoever.

Speaker 8 (43:15):
So do you think the one get a group like
that here ever? Again?

Speaker 5 (43:17):
I think so, Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 10 (43:19):
I think I think I think the owner of this
scene right now grew up watching that, and I think
that is his dream and his goal to make sure
you get an offensive line.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
We got the hell of a group now, just think
about it.

Speaker 10 (43:30):
Ain't that one though, But you also just just imagine
a more seasoned Connardly. Yeah yeah, you know, I mean
Tusso he asks everybody out whoever he's he's blocking this year.

Speaker 5 (43:42):
Man, he's been awesome. He's Chris Paul. Hope we resigned him.

Speaker 10 (43:47):
I'd be trying to extend him, right now, but Chris
Paul agent probably like Noah, let's wait, because.

Speaker 5 (43:54):
The league a ton of money.

Speaker 10 (43:58):
Be hod as bad ass that you like to call him,
he's a he's an animal Cosby we know what he
brings it.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Then we got the comedy, we got the puppy.

Speaker 10 (44:07):
Watch what he does with the off season, strength and
conditioning more, trying to get stronger. But hey, they have
to play together a little bit more because what happened
with that officsive line back in the day.

Speaker 5 (44:21):
They didn't even have to say anything. They knew what
the other guy was gonna do.

Speaker 10 (44:24):
And I think once this one get a little bit
more of that experience under their belt, they'll have the
same thing. Because right now you always talk about them communicating.
When you say something to a guy next to you
in a game where it's very loud, you can't hear
him anyway, he can't hear you, so you need to know.
And I think if they get more experienced together, then
they'll know, and then they gonna take that big step.

Speaker 3 (44:46):
Like I was saying, synergy, I got Jake Moody and
treshway go. We don't nobody get the kickers in the punters.
Look at the front runners up here. They can't defense.
How about Jake Moody hit more threes and Steph Curry?
How about tresh Way put the ball and it come

(45:08):
down next Thursday?

Speaker 2 (45:09):
Like, this is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
Show the kicker, it's the punished love y'all don't like
him until.

Speaker 2 (45:16):
You need them so fit Right now, I'm gonna tell
you the man eat.

Speaker 10 (45:21):
You know, you know I want to see a game.
I want to see a game where you don't have
to punch.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
I would love a game.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
I want to. I want to. I want to see
him on the sideline. I knew I would gonna put
some buts with them.

Speaker 8 (45:39):
Tell who you got.

Speaker 6 (45:40):
I want to see the receiving core in the season
with a bang, man, I think, especially when you have
a guy like Terry that's been on the line up
for so long. Now you have now we all seen
his presence, we all seen what he means to this organization.
You know what the last few weeks, man, he's been
on the tear. Let's see him finish our strong and say, hey,
look these few games, everybody take a break if you

(46:02):
want to. This is my show. You know what I mean?
Feed me and you know what feeding him or trying
to feed him with his light. Like I said before,
it's gonna get other guys open. It's gonna allow other
guys to be able to go out there and eat
this segment what we're talking about. So I want to
see the receiving core in with the band, meaning Terry's
gonna put up big numbers because he's gonna get the
coverage towards his side trailer to We got Debo over there,

(46:23):
and we got Berks over there.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
We got more we just signed back.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (46:26):
All those guys get a chance to flourish and thrive
because Terry's now on the field with them.

Speaker 7 (46:31):
All right, let's get Payson Bill's boys. I think flush
you got the guy co reader?

Speaker 5 (46:36):
Nah, man, I don't have my readers.

Speaker 8 (46:37):
Oh sorry, that's my bad.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Ready, y'all got some hot meal.

Speaker 5 (46:45):
These sixty year old readers right here.

Speaker 2 (46:47):

Yes, got coat? Oh man?

Speaker 5 (46:59):
Man makes my Yeah?

Speaker 2 (47:07):
Then we go.

Speaker 3 (47:08):
How do you feel when you switch to gy coat
and save on your car insurance? It's like fighting a
parking spot in the front of a busy outdoor cafe
where you're meeting some of your old friends from college
and you're about the parallel parking to an oh soo
tight spot, and then everyone in the cafe stopped to watch,
like y'all watching me right now, and you nail it

(47:31):
in one try. Like the parallel parking baller. You are
nobody clapped, but you know they really wanted to.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
Switching the Geico and saving with Gico feels just like that.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Get more with got.

Speaker 8 (47:46):
Fred, You've really uped your game. Let's talk it out.

Speaker 5 (47:50):
I give it up.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
I gotta give it up to lebar Barton, I mean
Lamar Party Rainbow.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
This five of us up here, ain't nobody. I got
a whole damn peak.

Speaker 10 (48:05):
Star sweat when he was reading too seventy to sev.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Me in the middle.

Speaker 8 (48:12):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 5 (48:14):
All right.

Speaker 7 (48:14):
We also going by the US Army, they say your
work defines who you are. Monday through Friday, nine to five,
you're clocking in. But what happens on the weekend, what
happens to your time? You could take it easy, or
you could use your time to get better. In the
US Army we think differently. Your time should be used
to improve the skills you do have to learn something,
you don't to push yourself in new ways, because it's

(48:35):
those days that truly define who you are. That's how
you make progress, That's how you make an impact on
the world around you. It's your time. How you spend
it is up to you. It's your time. The US Army.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
Reserve chock it up, knock it up. U c l A.
Okay ju U c l A.

Speaker 8 (48:55):
So it's I.

Speaker 7 (48:56):
Think it's very fitting. We've got Santa Claus here, We've
got this wonderful crowd here. But there's a hater here, Grinch,
Hater Jay Sad Grinch is here.

Speaker 2 (49:10):
We can't beat the Cowboys on Christmas. They're America's team
and they're better than us. They've always been better.

Speaker 8 (49:16):
Such a hater.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Change?

Speaker 16 (49:20):
We got any magic hate come from? You know, I
don't know about all that. You know, we can't beat
the Cowboys from Frint. But I think if we clap.

Speaker 15 (49:31):
Our hands, put our hands together and cheer on Jason
and try and get him the fuel Christmas spirit.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
No, I don't want it.

Speaker 8 (49:39):
Hell no, hell, hell.

Speaker 2 (49:45):
You Christmas spirit. He's melting, he's melting to the commander.

Speaker 9 (49:51):
Mel We want Dallas.

Speaker 8 (49:54):
We change.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
He melicy.

Speaker 3 (50:00):
And by the way, we out of Nation's capital. We
are America's team.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
We see what happened.

Speaker 8 (50:05):
We believe you were talking to new Jason.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
He's still a hater. It's in his heart. You can't
just get that out.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Fred, you're my best friend.

Speaker 5 (50:17):
Friends.

Speaker 3 (50:17):
Hey, let me tell y'all what Jason does to me
because I'm so intellectually smart from Mississippi.

Speaker 8 (50:25):
No, it's like a double No.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
I tell fun facts all the time and guess who
checks them off?

Speaker 7 (50:36):
Nine at ten, guys, I got a question for you.
Where are French fries from?

Speaker 2 (50:41):
Yeah? All right?

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Where what nation our French fries from? Anybody got ouse?
He's cooking right now. Fred probably told you that that's
all right.

Speaker 2 (50:56):
No, it's not.

Speaker 5 (50:59):
So they crave things from.

Speaker 8 (51:00):
And we had a fact check today.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
We went on a long it was wrong.

Speaker 5 (51:04):
It was wrong.

Speaker 8 (51:05):
The claim it.

Speaker 7 (51:06):
They claim it in Germany. I bet or and uh
the Belgium. You went there and they were like, we
have this.

Speaker 2 (51:12):
Me and you too. So so Fred has told you
a lie.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
But he told us both that you say Belgium is
the one that should claim French fries Jason.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
But when we fact checked it, Jackson.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
We don't have to get into how wrong Fred is
because I'm not a hater anymore, and you really are
one of my one of.

Speaker 2 (51:33):
My Yeah, Fred really from Belgium.

Speaker 1 (51:36):
Christmas, joy and spirit. Thank you Santa, and I'm so
excited for this win. We're gonna get against the Cowboys tomorrow.
And Fred, You've been an integral part of my career.
I couldn't be the producer Jason right here, with all
these fans, right here, with all I've talked to, Santana
Moss and Brian Mitchell, London, Fletcher, all these guys are
my friends now, and you may come and work fun every.

Speaker 11 (51:59):
S even though, okay, even though he's laid a lot.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
I'm not gonna okay to make you look foolish or
tell you.

Speaker 5 (52:08):
He done that by himself.

Speaker 1 (52:09):
All I'm trying. All I'm trying to do is make
sure that the things we tell our fans are correct.
That's all I looked into it.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
But that doesn't mean I look.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Into things for Logan, live, things for Tanna. They just
don't say outland.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
It feels like I think they feel outlanded because you
were like, no, like these these these troops, these small truths.

Speaker 5 (52:31):
So let me ask you a question.

Speaker 2 (52:33):
Oh god, how many times wins your school?

Speaker 9 (52:35):
No?

Speaker 5 (52:35):
No, no, no, no no. How many times has he been right?

Speaker 6 (52:40):
It's like, well, well he did tell them one day
he had one hundred and thirty tackles rookie season.

Speaker 5 (52:47):
Yeah, in his career.

Speaker 9 (52:50):
He had a season tackles, thirty tackles his rookie season,
and which you know, bro right right, he only had thirty.

Speaker 5 (53:05):
He was the one in front of everything. Wow, one
hundred and thirty and thirty.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
It felt like one hundred and thirty.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Fred was a fantastic corner. You did have. Oh look
at this right here, sixty three tackles in one year,
two thousand and six thousand minutes. But you're in Washington. Yeah,
over the second year, your sophomore.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Season is sixty two. Pretty good. We found out that.
We found out, Hey, that's not alive.

Speaker 8 (53:35):
You want you want making no business on the piles.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
I met, don't jump on there with London.

Speaker 3 (53:40):
You was shown there. I used to look at the
stash sheet London twenty one tackles. I'm twenty one. Then
I watched the field him waving into the camera talking
on the pile. Right, I'm glad we brought up tackles.
We had Buck's family.

Speaker 10 (53:59):
Let's share a little story here, story time with Big
Fletch Christmas Eve. He didn't know they was coming. So
we two thousand and eight, we got up against the
New York Giants. They're coming off a Super Bowl championship
this Thursday night only showing town. We go up to
New York. Fred says, man, they look like some real

(54:21):
giants over there. They got Brandon Jacobs, he's sixty five
to seventy. They got go Bear six six six, they
got all these big SHACKI shocky, he's sixty four sixty five.
And so there's a play that happens. We're a cover two.
Now there's a cover two corner. You are part of
the run front. You are a tackling it. You stopped

(54:44):
the run first, you defend the past.

Speaker 5 (54:46):
Second.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
Fred is unblocked.

Speaker 10 (54:49):
He has an opportunity to tackle Brandon Jacobs at the
un for a one yard game?

Speaker 2 (54:56):
Did you tell what happened to play?

Speaker 5 (54:58):
No, no, no no. Fred was in there and closes his eyes.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
I pray, I was praying.

Speaker 10 (55:03):
He does not touch Brandon Jacobs. He perceived Brandon Jacob
proceeds to run fifteen yards and puts Lron Landry in
the hospital. Because Fred Smove made a business he said
not to make a tackle.

Speaker 5 (55:19):
That's Fred's move.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
To my security. The football guys needed the sacrifice.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
It wasn't gonna be me because what he didn't tell you.
Two players before that, I sacrificed for the team. Brandon
Jacobs ran me over. Brandon Jacobs drugged me. And let
me tell you what this heartless dude right here deed
my fixings. I'm gonna tell you this, dude. My helmet
comes off. I look up, it's big fletch. Get up,

(55:52):
Get your butt off, grind. I'm got a friend of you.

Speaker 2 (55:58):
Yes, I made a business decision and you hit today
because of that.

Speaker 10 (56:06):
So now we y'all see that play because it's it
lives on the hell you will see Fris Move closes
his eyes and you see.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
I am not ashamed.

Speaker 8 (56:20):
Nothing can shamey. So Jason.

Speaker 1 (56:24):
Uh I sent a letter. The reason Santa's here is
because I sent him a letter to THEO and I
told him how good you all been this year, and
he said he'd bring some presents for you a little
bit early, just for you. So Santa Claus has some
gifts just for you guys.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
