twenty second. Start the football season off with us. We'd
really appreciate it. H Now, we've got some stuff to
talk about, specifically joint practice, and it's always we talked
about it pretty much.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think we all three of us feel different about it.
I know Santana hate stem.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I think with Santana, I thought you was a meal.
So so for me, I understand why coaches like joint practices,
but as a player man, it wasn't my jim. I
know you, like I.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Enjoyed going against other players because the one thing I
did a good job is I had a tamil that
I kept my whole career that I would update on players,
and I could get no more intimate information than on
you than practicing against you.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So the thing that used to get me Tanna was
like I never knew the tempo because it's like.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
When you were on hand once meet. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So what I'm saying is like you come out to
practice right and all of a sudden it's like, hey,
we're gonna like I remember we had a joint practice
against the Patriots, and it's like, hey, we're gonna do live,
we're gonna do live special teams. And then all of
a sudden we get out right before practice, like hey,
kickoff return won't be live, the wedge won't be live. Right,
So you got guys coming down and our guy went
with their group and absolutely obliterated the wedge and got
(04:52):
dog cussed. So then I was like, well, are they
gonna retaliate against UF So they're gonna do something different.
And that's how every day was, because like when you're
doing those physical positions and you can get embarrassed, guys.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
What you feel like?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It was always about I didn't know the tempo and
how's this team gonna gage just compared to Gay?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Right, So do you remember when we had against who
was it Houston? Do you remember that one where there's
a big fight were I was just so huge fight
at Houston. So the first day we get out there
and we like we put it on him a little bit.
We put them on him a little bit. So you know,
usually it's like, hey, no, it's not super competitive, we're
not gonna fight. They were Houston was on hard Knocks
(05:31):
that year. Yeah, mill O'Brien's in the MIDI room, like,
you guys got embarrassed. That's ridiculous. So the next day
they come out like gangbusters. And then the third day
it was like it was gonna there was no way
it wasn't gonna be a fight. There was no way
it wasn't gonna be a full brawl because you just
it just ramped up.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
The emotions with it, and.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
To me, that's why it's so important when you do
these you got to do them with someone that you trust, right,
And dan Quinn talked about Mike Rabel. He's like, I
can trust Mike Rabel because like he's gonna do it
the right way.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And that's one of my main reasons that I didn't
like them, because it's one thing to get ready for
another team when you're playing a game or preseason.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Game because you know the standard.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
But in practice, you can't tell me one period of live,
next period shut down, because guess what, somebody on one
of them sides are gonna take advantage of you and say,
all right, I'm gonna go live now since he's not
going live.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, and that's what you got.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
You got guys that's trying to make a play, that's
trying to make a team, and so just scratch that.
I don't want to be out there with you until
I have to see you in the preseason.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
But I think I think the coaches get so much
from it because they can literally like run game plan.
I feel doing some stuff that I can't do in
the like that makes no sense for me to do
in the preseason game it makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's hard for the players, I think, But for the coaches, yeah,
and for Adam, they'll get the critique of oh my gosh,
it's invaluable.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And I get to study the players on the other team.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
So I understand that I don't get it twisted. Yeah,
I understand the value of it. Like we get to
run actual red zone, actual two minute, actual third down,
call one on one, feel different, and it's awesome. It's
great evaluation. It's great for the coordinators, it's the best.
But for players it is like this weird line. And
then the other thing I was thinking about, were you
here when we played New England? Do you hear of
that one?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So I remember New England in seven on seven they'd
bring nine guys over and Jay Gruden was just.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Like, oh, because they had the defensive menions.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yes, right, And so as a tight end, I'd line
up in a three point stance. The defensive end who
would normally rush with Jammy to the middle linebacker who
was like DeVante high Tower would hear hold me, I'd
been like a double vice, like a gunner getting into
my route obvious PI. And then Jay couldn't say anything
to Jake go to Belichick and so so Belichick. We
were just like the scout team for Belichick's the the
(07:37):
New England Patriots when I was out there. Yeah, and
so it's so important to have like guys you trust,
guys you get get work with. And it sounds like
Dan feels that way about I.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Also remember two when we went through those practices. I
remember that preseason game we couldn't kind of take a toon.
Yeah we did, you know, we kind of had a
we had we had a better out and in them
Now in practice you couldn't see it, but when we
got in that preseason game, we looked like the better team. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, And again like so that's where that's where it's
for me. Is I mean, but you liked it as
a player, and I think.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It makes for a better preseason game because, like you said,
you retching it up at practice and the guys be like,
I can't wait, Like I can't wait until we get
out of here Sunday. So I can make you feel it,
you know what I'm saying. So I think both teams
are more emotionally invested into that preseason game because of
the practices doing the week, because of the fights, because
(08:24):
of the scuffles, because of everything that goes on.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So I think it's this Blesses in his minuses.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I did feel more invested in the game and I
felt like I knew what they were doing. Yeah, I
felt like I knew the personnel and I felt like
I knew the blitzer they were gonna run.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
So like like you had a real week of study,
like a game week.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like yeah, Like I felt like I was really ready
to go. So for the preseason game, I was locked in.
But in the week you're.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Just like, while y'all out there with your friends on,
I'm out there just job.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You didn't have to talk to anybody, don't have to
do anything.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
But you know they would.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
We would do a couple of live drills and when
when the teams came over, we were a couple of
lives the ground to the ground.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Sometimes, Yeah, we was out there. I remember we got
into a drill thing. It was a two minute drill
in practice in a live or you know that live practice.
And I remember I forgot the guy name is. He's
a cornerback. He played for a while. He grabbed me
every which way I went. He was just tugging on me,
and I'm like, bro, first of all, it's practice, yeah.
Second of all, I'm trying to make it to the
preseason game, so I kind of like saying something to him,
(09:23):
like but he apologized immediately.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Then you get one of his his buddies.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I don't apologize. That's how we coming. So I'm sitting
there in linel like and then that started pre and
pr went this is what I'm talking about. I got
these little pit bulls over here that's ready to eat
somebody's face off. But I'm just trying to tell, buddy,
be mindful who you who you covering. If you can't
cover me, don't pull me. But that's the reason why
I hated it going against guys like that in practice,
because I'm saying to myself. With my own guys, I
(09:49):
can talk to them and say, look, man, let's trying
to save each other, you know, for you know.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
For the game or whatever, and also for you, Tanner,
and maybe for Smooth too. It's like if I'm a
young guy and I see Sattana Mossa, like I'm trying
to make a name for my thing. Yes, but I'm
trying to make him look bad.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And I'm not mad at that, like they go to
thing about it, They go to the hint of competition
there's not.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
There when there's not another team, which I'm all for,
but just do it the right way, you know what
I mean, covering me without having a.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Pull on me so I can hurt my hamstrings or something,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, So obviously incredibly important, like knowing the coach you're
going with, like knowing there's gonna be no shenanigans, knowing
that they're gonna be on message. That's super important. Another
couple questions like that is like what are they like.
We talked a little bit about like what we don't
like about them, but let's talk about the structure of
the joint practice. And to me, it's like if you've
been to any practice, it's like you got your warm up,
(10:40):
you got your team run maybe nine on seven, depending
what the coach is. Then you do one on one, yeah,
maybe seven on seven, and then it's like it kind
of follows a normal practice structure. Yeah, a little scaly,
but the practice structure follows kind of a mix of
your practice and yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's a hybrid form of it, but it's a lot
of work. Getting completed, and that's what I did like
about bless you. I'm gonna get a lot of work
done and that's all that matters to me.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I think one of the things that stood out about
our practice that time when we went against the Patriots
was how we walked to the next drill and they
were sprinting, like almost every time you heard that whistle blow,
you didn't see a guy from the Patriots walking and
I was walking over there like like that's the difference.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
When that's the difference that I'm glad you brought that
up because I remember going to New England and it
was like everything was crazy sharp, like the receivers with
Tom Brady, the protections of communication, and you were just like, oh.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I'm talk Tom go off on Edelman. I'm like, Lord,
have mercy, that's what they're doing over there.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
But it was a difference in Tom going out on
Edelman and r G three running in selling myself. It
was a tone why he cheering the crowd on Like
one was raisor shop and focus, the other one was
just we.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Was out yeah man. And so that's kind of the
structure different different for different teams. The intensity is something
we just talked about. It definitely goes up, but it's
kind of in this weird like it's not it's not
a game, it's not a practice.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
And I can't put bad fem out there, like the
Eye in the Sky dolt Lie. And I think that's
what really had me going, is I can't put that
bad felm out there.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I'm trying to gauge it.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I'm saying to myself, I only practice hard, So no
matter who you are, I don't have a pro practice
and hard. I'm just trying to gauge, like, do I
give an effort in this drill? Like I gave an
effort in the last year, which is hard to do
because they're telling you, Okay, we're gonna take this one off.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
But I'm going to get a guy with another uniform,
and so it's hard to take that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Is he gonna take it off? That's the thing too.
So all of a sudden you're like, I'll go a
little bit harder, He'll go a little bit harder, and
then all of a sudden, the Joe's full speed. And
that's the thing that always drove me nuts. And like
Freddie talked about this, the work's always really I feel
like the work is really good.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, the work is good.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
The only concert, like everything about it, drawing practice is good,
like the working able to gain from a playbook standpoint,
the coaching, all those things are really important. The only
thing is like you don't know drill to drill. That's
the only negative thing about it. Everything else is positive, And.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I understand it.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It's a tempo in fluctuation there and I totally understand.
But I think, like y'all said, when you're doing it
with the right team, the two head coaches out on
the same and we get the same message out a
wee around.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And that's what Dan said about Mike Graveley said, as
a coach, you're going to work with someone who does
it the right way and has good sessions. And that's
exactly what Mike Rabel is, you know, and like they
know each other.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
That's why I always enjoyed my sixtion with the Ravens
because it was up tempo. You know, they gonna be
physical regardless, so it was always kind of high stakes feeling.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, so obviously really excited for the joint practice. Again,
that's a great opportunity for some down the roster guys
just to get to get some real competitive reps and
do some stuff. But then also we get to the preseason,
and the preseason game is going to be interesting coming
off because I don't know what they're gonna do. We
don't know yet who's gonna play, who's not gonna play.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Usually the first team doesn't play a lot the week
that you you practice with a team, because you get
most of your first team practice.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Talking about that real quickly.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So this is what happened.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's why I think these practice are so good because
by the time the preseason game come, I know we
ain't got that from drive. We already did our work,
and we did our work in secret, and we did
more detailed work. So I think, well, we're gonna get
into second team and maybe a couple of first teams
people out there that they want to see. Maybe we
play a different position, but it's gonna be mostly second team.
(14:34):
I think started the game out second to what the
Chargers did.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I got a real question for you, both guys, does
Jade and Daniels need to play in the preseason if
we're doing all these joint practices, because that's what they
in the second game, just for the process.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Just for just so the new guys that didn't play
with him know his cadence get a little game action
in like.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I guess that's not just for him, it's also for
like yo.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
And you see, I don't want him to to get
in the thing where he starts off slow, because see
Joe Burrow does this sometime. Never play in the preseason then,
and the Bengals start off slow in the first five
four games. I would read for him to play in
the second game and not the third game. I think
it's cool for him to get out there and get
a couple of reps. I mean, true, I don't want
to see him out there the whole entire you know,
(15:19):
first quarter or nothing like that.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
But if you get him out there and get him
a drive going and then get him off the field,
that to me. I know everybody's wired differently, but to me,
I used to have a little chart in my head
of that preseason Game one I did six players, Game
two I did fifteen.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Game three was Game three was that big game for us?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
I did a half or I did up to you know, halftime,
and I'm like, okay, we went, I'm ready to go.
So I'm not sure if he gets that kind of
gratification out of it, but I would like to see
it for the sake of just the team alone as
a whole. So y'all can, like you said, get familiar
with him, his cadence. Yeah, you know what he sees
and certain coverages. I mean, they're not gonna show a lot,
(16:01):
They're gonna be vanilla, you know what I mean. But
still you want to be out there with them and
live bullets thrown at you so you can get I
don't kind of temperament how things to pretty much be expected.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I just don't want him to his first pass the
debo to be in week one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well, I remember, like with Tom Brady and even Paid Manning,
like they wouldn't do preseasons because they had done him
the joint practice, and so like are you protecting him
or which I.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Could understand them not putting in the game because of
the joint practice. And that's why I say, the joint practice,
you get so much more out of them that I
can see them saying, this is the preseason game. I
works list all this work we just did.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. But again,
like to tennis point in your original point, like there's
something about putting the helmet on, getting under the lights,
being in the stadium. Yeah, just getting that it's back.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Like at one point, it has to say it's back
more than just a training camp, Like you have to
be some game preparation in there, and I don't care
for like I said, I do not care for just
for one, I want to see him out there.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
As a UNI.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I love anticipating, just knowing that I'm gonna be in
that hotel room the night before, I'm gonna have to
eat my pregame meal, like all that stuff was routing
that I look forward to because it's something that I'm
used to. And he, like you said, even if it's
one draft, three plays that who cares, It's just get
me back into rhythm of things.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's an interesting point too, because like again, like your
whole process starts right like what I want to eat?
What time do I want to get to the stadium.
He kind of worked that out in the preseason, so yeah,
maybe even though like he doesn't need to play a ton,
just working that process might not be a bad idea.
So this game is interesting to me, and I hope
Drake made plays for them because like I remember doing
the draft stuff last year and it was like we're
(17:43):
going back and forth, so many good quarterbacks, and like
Drake may had his people that thought he should have
been the first pick overall, and obviously there's some guys
that thought they And now they're going to see each other.
I mean, we'll see if they end up playing, but
I like, what's the expectation for them? And like, how
excited are you watch some of these guys from New England.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
I think I think when it comes down until we'll
be able to see them in practice, that's probably gonna
be the biggest thing East other I'm not sure how
much they gonna put on Drake Drake Mayder go out
there in the preseason game either, but practice is probably
gonna be must see, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
We're gonna be up tempo. It's gonna be up tempo.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
You're gonna be seeing them getting the oos and I
gonna get our oos and ohs. But as far as
preseason game one, I don't know. I don't I really
don't know what to expect because I don't know how
they how they're looking at things going forward. Just with
Drake Maye, you know, having a productive year last year,
he was pretty productive.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
So dude, they need to see more in the preseason
game or not.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I think they don't, Like you said, getting all them
reps in practice. I think they're gonna love that bit.
And I told you I went out on the limb
and said, twenty twenty four quarterback class is the best
quarterback clans of all time. I think it has a
legit change the wag Bo Nicks and Michael Pennix and
those guys.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
We finally get to see J J. McCarthy. I think
they will have a great group.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
But I'm interested to seeing our wide receiver group versus
Christian Gonzales Carton Davis.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
That's gonna be a good match up right there.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
We was all high on Trey vo Henderson coming out,
so watching him run the ball and step Vun Diggs.
I told that our defensive cks got some questions that
need to be asked when it comes to step Vun
Diggs in the West, you know, whide receivers in New England.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, and I think this is always like a cool opportunity,
like you're saying, I think the joint practice will touch
on this too, but like Trey Amos versus a guy
in Stephan Diggs who's had six thousand New York seasons. Yeah,
it's gonna be different than the way Deebo does it, right, Yeah,
most definitely How to see match up with someone who's
like got that nuance route running, you know, And I'm
not saying Stephan Diggs is still a top ten wide receiver,
but no, he.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Should run round sugar. He can run right. Get that
dog in him, you know what I mean? He won
those guys. He's gonna bring his He's gonna bring his
heart head in his lunch.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But no, you better get ready when stephunn coming. He
goes fun fake y'all. The state of Maryland say it's
all about crab cakes and football. Well, step Vun Diggs
might be the closest thing to a Hall of Fame
with that they have, like they have zero Hall of
Famers in the state of Maryland.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Step Vun Diggs is the closest. Day.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It's kind of unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Yeah, that is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So I think that worked, Like that's the matchup, like
in the week of practice, I'm excited to watch. I
don't know how much they'll play in the game. That's
the thing about these preseason games, like coming off a
joint practice, especially, like how much are they gonna play?
But I'd love to see that matchup, how the defense
handles it. Yeah, you know treyvon will dude, Will Campbell. Right,
here's the fourth pick overall this year, the tackle with
short arms, like yeah, do we put him in the blender?
(20:25):
And one on ones like I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Don Frankie, Frankie jump over him? Like I love saying
is it's some good tests.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
When it comes to New England, they have re riot
and rebuilt their roster.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
There's gonna be a respectable team. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And so the other thing i'd say too, like if
the starters aren't playing right. I had a fan today
actually out on the field here asked me, like, who
should we watch in the preseason? Obviously I like to
watch the other team because like the draft and the
young players they've had and how to build a team.
But for the commanders, to me, it's literally like just
those those fringe guys like watch your Tyler Owens, watcher
(21:00):
Kane Madronald, watch Brooks, Yeah, watch Brooks, watch Bill. That's
exactly right. Chris Rodriguez. Can he make a name for himself?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
And so Mike stratchon the big tall wide receiver, we
was talking about it Lee what's his name? Yeah, from
UCLA Yeah yeah, but a little running back. So all
those guys I think would be really interesting if you're
a Commanders fan, because all those guys are fighting for
their lives. Yeah, so they should be putting their best
foot forward. Who makes the big play, who finds the
explosive opportunity? And again, like that's why I like the
(21:32):
preseason is for those guys.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No, I like to watch these guys and listen, every
guy out there has a chance to turn them up
into Victor Cruz. We watched Victor Cruz take a preseason
beat people like a drum and turn into a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah. And so another question I got from a fan
out here on the field today was how do we
watch a preseason game? We just talked about watching some
of the guys. You know what I mean, who you
should be looking for? Name you should be looking at,
But like, what are the coaches looking for or in
a preseason game?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I think one of the biggest thing we talk about
this every year, alignment and assignment? You know, how do
you follow instructions? How do you play a kitchen to detail?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
The things, the things that we see these guys out
here practicing for. That's something of the same things. Coach
gonna be like, let me see if I could put
him in a game in the in the heat of
the moment and he remembers the assignment or third and loan,
he knows that we had to check off or something
because we saw something different. You know, do he know?
Do he know everything? Is he ready for the test?
Is he ready to be quizzed on the fly?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You know?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
And I think that's what preseason games are because.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Some of the things you can't really predict the outcome
of what's gonna happen or what's gonna transpire and can
we change things on the fly.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Sorry to everyone's excited about Jadon Daniels walking by.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I totally understand when the Jedi is in your presence, Jedi,
But I think when it comes to a coach looking
at a team, I mean looking at his team, he
want to see candle the players, the young players, correct
the mistakes they make it practice and you know what
they would get players cut continuously making the same mistakes.
(23:06):
Can you go correct yourself on the run in Folk
Corton and can't you bring them from what you do
on the practice field to.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
The game field.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And I think the other element here that like I
couldn't agree with both you guys more alignment. Assignment is
the main thing. I also think there's a physical element
though that you want to see. Like I think about
cave Vedrono. You've talked about him on every show. Yeah,
at practice he looks amazing, Like the way he covers,
the way he moves, He's got great ball skills. Yeah,
I want to see him put the put the ride
down on.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
You want to see him swap paint.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's what I want to see, man, You know what
I mean? Can you figure it out? It was the
question coming out of college, and you know, and the
other one is like running backs too, is like the
physicality of the position. Can we pick up a blitz?
How do we break a tackle?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Because everyone says Bill looks right out here, and he does.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah, but it's a pillow fight, Like you're right, it's
a certain positions on the football field.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I can't gauge into his real is real.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I can't gauge you're running back and tell you how
good he is until I see him wrong behind his pass.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Or even like with the offensive line, tanna, like any
position that requires a certain amount of physicality, like I
gotta see it.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
I think that's one.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
I think that's one group of guys that they don't
get a night off, you know what I mean. It
don't matter, It don't matter if this is an exposition
or if it's the real thing. The office in D
line don't get a night off. So that's gonna be
very interesting too, just to see. You know, we keep
talking about depth and how many guys that we have.
It's gonna be great to see the different lineup that
(24:32):
they throw out there together, you know what I mean.
Maybe some of those guys who projected to start don't
even play at all, you know, depending on if Jayden's
out there or not, or maybe they do.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Maybe they still.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Protect the other guy, you know, Marcus, Yeah, Marcus or
whoever else going to be, you know, the second or
third guys.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So these pass and these practices give guys like connorly.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Chance to change the narrative because.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I can only show you I'm physical by actually being physical.
So that's why I like padded practice. That's why I
like the game situation. It gives players like this saying
to say, now I'm actually ahead of where you think
I am. I just couldn't showcase it because we ain't
have pants out man.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Janden Daniels a popular You earn it. You don't just
get that, Like, I'm kind of disappointed that he's out
here because I can't hear your guys great analysis. While
he's talking. It's so loud. Now it's starting to quiet down.
He must have gone. The other thing is, like you
talked about this on the Command Center show, Tanna is like,
you know, when you were a veteran, you got to
(25:29):
sit back and kind of watch the young guys play.
How do those young guys, those guys that are trying
to make a practice squad, maybe trying to make the
you know, the sixth linebacker, the fifth linebacker, the fourth
the fifth edge rusher, how do those guys stand out
to you and make and say I deserve to be
on the roster.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Yeah, we always I'm pretty sure y'all did the same
thing in you'all room, but we took pride in our
room to see how guys excel that night, you know,
I mean, especially we know you're gonna get a lot
of reps, like this is your time to show coaches
that like like you say, the Dini's guy online put
it on, put good stuff on tape, which we didn't
use the stuff word. We used something else. But I
used to love man just watching those guys. Like we
(26:08):
had a guy we call bombs over Bad that I'm
not sure he was around. We had that one wide receiver.
He was from Atlanta, Georgia, and he was a rapper.
Remember I forgot his name, Ross Red or Red or
one of them like that. But if bombs are bad day,
he would get on the field and he was gonna bomb.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Someone was in Ross Rocket want Rocket Ross?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Right? Yeah, I remember the same type of deal man.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, but we just love to see our guys have
a good night.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
So that's what I'm looking I'm looking forward to seeing
those guys who gonna get more opportunities to say, Okay,
I'm making the case for one of these positions.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I'm making a case for the practice squad, whatever it
may be. You know what I mean. We took pride
in then in our room and I love to see it.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
We always told our guys this, if you don't make
this squad, make it hard for the other thirty one
to turn you down because when you come out here
and play on TV, they watch it. They scouts are
paid to watch you. So it's more than just our
team this way. And we know from playing that fifty
three can be a true number crunch, like like we
can have a guy that's waiting on I hard, and
(27:07):
the reason the fifty third guy don't make the team
because we got to keep a roster spot for this guy.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
So it's just a numbers game.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
So I always tell them play like your life depending
on it, because it does.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, you're definitely her football life. And that's and and
so for people watching at home, people say, well, how
do I know if a guy is doing a good job?
And I think the easiest way, quite honestly, is this
the guy you're interested in? Making plays? Like are they
making receptions? Are they making blocks?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Are they tackle?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Are they making tackles? Usually if they are, that's a
really good sign that they're they're making moves. Yea, you
know me.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And the amount of playing time a coach gives you,
I call it opportunity. Give you all of this opportunity,
take advantage because guess what next.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Week they might want to get a guy behind you.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Those real that's right, that's absolutely right. So obviously, like
to me, the preseason is so much fun because you
have to watch all these guys play. But something that
fans always ask is do preseason games wins or losses
matter matter? And and our guy producer Jason came up
with a with a great segment and it's he thinks
(28:10):
because Jason thinks that this doesn't matter. And I agree
with preseason games wins and losses don't matter.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
But the wins and losses purely don't matter.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So the scot the scoreboard does not matter. No like
you could. But if let it feel good if you win.
It does feel good if you win, but I think
about it. So a great example is the Hall of
Fame game. Right, if you are the Chargers, you feel
great because everyone held the standard of play. Right. You
were physical, you were tough, you were well executed, you
made plays. If you're Detroit as a coach, you're probably
(28:43):
pissed off.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Coach Campbell, he got on them.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It was a mess.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yes it wasn't And guess what.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Everybody felt like Detroit were gonna take a list of
bet because when you lose your offensive coordinator and your
defensive coordinator, you got to get too new coordinated with
with a whole new system in here.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Hey, you lost Reck, No listen to me.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
The center rack though retiring is gonna be one of
the biggest reasons that they take a step back.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
But what I will say is that didn't play, Jamison Williams,
didn't play, Jared Goff didn't play. So ultimately, ye know, ultimately,
I think they figure it out and they played good
football this year, the Detroit Lions. But I think to
your main point, it's like I remember playing the preseason
games and we'd lose the game, but like we played
a physical, tough, competitive bout and just the ball didn't
(29:27):
go our way. And I feel like, as a coach,
you can be happy with that, right.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
It's like this, man, although that it doesn't matter, you
still feel so good coming off of that preseason game.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
When you gotta win.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
That first day of back to camp just makes everybody stiff.
And when you don't trust me, you don't want to
be out there. Because now coaches they have one they
want to chew you out for every little thing you do,
and they're gonna they're gonna call it this is the
reason why you look like this in the preseason. It's
the reason why we couldn't line up. So I think
one of the things that mattered to me most so
(30:02):
than winning the game is just looking apart, going like
I said before, lining up in the right place, carrying
out my assignment, playing with the right kind of intensity.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
You know, if you go out there and play with
like your hair on fire, I'll do us.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
A preseason game. If you give us a chance to
win the game, then I have nothing to say about
if we don't.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And I think that's a great point because like it
doesn't matter, like like you winning or losing the first
preseason game doesn't matter. If you doesn't mean you're going
to the super Bowl. Yeah, but I do think it
is as it's definitely a vibes thing in the building,
which is important. But in honor of the preseason, we're
gonna do a draft. We have a special guest coming
on today. It's no longer intern Caroline, it is it
(30:41):
is producer Caroline. So Caroline, thank you so much for
coming out and the reason Caroline's here is because we're
gonna do a draft of things. Much like the preseason
wins and loss record, they does not matter.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
They just don't matter anymore.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah, it's gonna be entering Caroline for this show forever. Sorry, Caroline,
because I don't want to remake the graphic, so it's
just going to be entered Caroline.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Caroline, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Yeah, but the idea of to set this up, why
I brought Caroline here. The idea is that like wins
and losses don't matter, but people get really hyped up
about it. Like you said, Like I agree with you, guys,
Like I hear what you're saying. The vibes matter, Like
playing well matters. I'm not talking about you can play
bad in the preseason and it doesn't matter. I'm just saying,
if you're in the l column, who cares, Just as
(31:26):
long as you're getting out of that preseason game what
you need to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
So that being said, what are some other things? Doesn't
have to be football or related that is popular or
that people believe is important, but it's meaningless. It just
means nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
All right, I got one right off the bed. Your
appendix is useless.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Actually, they've found out that it's not useless anymore.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
All of a sudden, it wasn't useless for thirty Now
we needed what for teared.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
DUTs No, Like I was just read an article about it.
It's like the backup brain for your gut. So like
let's say you get sick, right and you get like
diarrhea for example, it's the that's the organ that helps
like reset your gluffy, get you the good in the
bab backteria. Yeah, I get your reset. So it didn't
it was. It was useless for a long time, but
apparently it's useful now. I don't have mine. I have
(32:14):
not noticed any ill effects of not having them. And
I think that.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Sist the invention of the air fryer. The microwave is used.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Dude, I might be on board with that one.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, Michael Wave is definitely that one.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Are we drafting and we're just saying stuff here, just
say stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
What you say your wisdom to wisdom to They've been used,
they used to. I'm saying casts of them now.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
I mean we got two letchers out, by the way.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
I got mine out when I broke my jaw, so
I had to take them out to you got too,
But I'm like, why are you there if I don't
need them? You know what I mean? Why why are
they there?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
If you want to wait till I'm a certain amount
of years old, and then you say, oh, you have
to remove these now.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Because they used it because they pushed the other teeth forward, like.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
If you chip the tooth or something. Yeah, are you
telling the truth there, Fred?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
No, because I've seen kids get their whizm suit taken
out early.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Because they started to push the jog in the tea
for that. Why they say let's take them out?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, But like I'm saying, what are they for? I
guess we like if you were like a Neanderthal or something.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Yeah, and you couldn't take them out.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
No, but you had like a chip tooth or a
dead tooth and then maybe it pushes out. I don't know,
we're not dentists.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
You use that like a spreare tiet.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, what we got? What's useles?
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Here's my useless take?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
You gotta talk loud, it's already here.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
The spelling bee, Like, why are we glorifying the spelling bee?
There's a national spelling bee and it's such a big
thing at least, like in Loud and County public schools
that you have a spelling bee, and just like, where
are you going with all that information?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
What are you doing it? It's like curling or something.
It's like the pole vault one hundred meters, Like, why
do we care about it? It's like a sporting event.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
No, she's correct, Like, we have never had a spelling
be king to be president.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
We have never had the spelling beating to be the
CEO of a fortune five hundred company.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
You just spail words.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
It's also like, why is chess important? It's the same thing.
Why is this different? Why is different?
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Hold on?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Hold of is it different?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Because if care?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Like because if a computer can beat anybody in the
world in chest, it's just math, right, So like it's
the same thing with spelling. You're just memorizing words. It's
just a cool parlor trick. So like, I don't know
if I agree with.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
This parlor trick.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
You've ever been out and you're like, oh, can you
spell mitochondria?
Speaker 5 (34:16):
No you can't.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
If I could spell, I'd like I'd be like, hey
if I was if I was at a bar and
I wasn't married, I'd be like, hey, ask me to
spell anything.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
You like, Sit down. We don't care how good you
I a spelling.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
It's usually if I could spell mitochondred, i'd be spelling.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Is it any one career that because you're the best
spell in the world, you're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
So now, I think I think you can make an
argument that's spelling, that spelling in general is useless because
you have like word processors, you have all this spell
check stuff.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I don correct on my fat right, But I'm saying
if I in a in.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
A in a competitive event, which is the spelling Bee,
it's that you're trying to see who the best speller is.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
It's a couple understand said for something that has no
in game. It's the same thing also, but it also
helps you down the line.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I mean, I get what you're saying has no endgame
far as you can't do nothing because you're the champion.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Like, but you get smarter. I mean, you know you
know how to spell words.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
You know when you have to write a paper or
you have to text somebody, you ain't gonna be looking
and saying, hey, help me spell this word, because I
know I have I have problems all the time spelling,
and I'm sitting there like, damn, without my phone, I'm useless.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
None of I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
But you aren't gonna go to be called to spelling
be champion the eighties, ain't gonna call thembody out these words.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
But I'm saying, for that speller, for that person.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Who won the spelling be or who competed and learned
something while he was doing so, it makes him that
much smarter.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
To me, Okay, we're way off Trump. The point Carolina
is making is not is spelling useless?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
No, it's spelling, but I'm saying to sell.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Us we have no other ways.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
But this is That's all perspective though, because there's certain
people that think, like football is useless. You ever met
somebody doesn't know anything about football?
Speaker 4 (36:01):
They completely don't.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
They don't look at how much, look at how much
is tied to football. It's tied to people's lives. But
you pulled football away, people's lives are gone.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
But that's it's gone.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
That's because we put a lot of like if we're
if we're in Japan, for example.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Okay, we're no.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
But I've been saying, like, lo, can you give us one.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Then I don't.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I don't really. Everything's got, everything's useful. Now I'm kidding.
The one that Jason brought up that I think is useless, Yeah,
it's yours. I'm gonna steal it is the GPS in
your car. You don't use my GPS use.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Yeah, I don't use my GPS.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Cana, Nita do I use? You know you got you
got reverse nutrient drive. I've never used second in first,
I have never used. I have never said, you know
when he come ten.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Never, it's it's not second, it's whatever. It's like low,
it's not negative negative too.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
What about your tonsons because I see so many people
get a tosses removed like they are useless to me,
I'm like, if they do not need it, why they're there, Like,
you know, if you can remote, why are they there?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Caroline? Are they useless?
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Caroline?
Speaker 7 (37:07):
I think so I got my tonsils taken out. I
think some people's supposed to defend like bacteria and stuff,
but some people's attracted. So if I got mind taking
out when I was eighteen because I was always getting sick,
but some people it works. I make sure you're perfectly fine, right, Yeah,
I'm fine now, So why they're there?
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah? Why? Why two kids? You don't even have no more? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:27):
What we got? We got one?
Speaker 7 (37:28):
Okay, Yeah, let's let's do another one. I like the
GPS thing because I'm team ways and just no one
cares about that anymore.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
But I like wigs when I know where I'm going.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Jason wrote this one.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I thought this was good.
Speaker 7 (37:41):
The periodic table when you learn that in middle school.
While so it's well, I mean, why are we learning those.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Cannot agree with y'all on a periodic table? They study
and gases in silence to it? All right, they are
I'm not talking.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
About the important of knowing elements. What I'm talking about
memorizing that test.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Now I can just google it. I can be like,
what's the peer, what's the periic table, Let me look
at it, or what's the composition of water? I can
just google it and I don't have to like commit
it to memory.
Speaker 6 (38:13):
This one of the biggest tricks that they did in
school is that anything that was ever printed up on
the on the wall, if they had to cover it
up during a quiz. This is a dumb quiz because
I can find that at any point whenever.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Basically, Jason say, American schools, you know, so, I think
I think that's no.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
I'm saying, teach me how to set up a four
oh one k not not don't teach me about it Mathma,
I don't care about volcas well.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think I think it's ultimately like if like, for example,
in math, like word problems. Everybody hates word problems, right,
But the reason you're getting that information is because you're
teaching you how to critically think and solve a problem.
Right if it's just straight memorization. Now, in the land
of Google and AI, it's like us, I can look
at up any time.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Let me ask you guys a question, how do you
feel about long vision?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Because that is kind of insane.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
That was like, it's not it's not useless.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
It's your because I need to do is learn how
to sell. And it's a trick.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I don't need to do nothing that loan to divide.
You gotta know how to check in my bank account.
I was not doing loan to be I was minus.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
I'm gonna tell you what's he really? Fruit cake? It's
really you don't like fruitcake. First of all, nobody actually
eats it.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
It turns into a piece of furniture. Like I want
to go to the fruitcake factory and say ship down.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
Had to see more fruitcake sitting on my table at
a cookout.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Then I'm like, who brought this? Who? No one touches it,
like like it's embarrassing thing, Like why are they still
making it? Brought old bred?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
The one I thought you were gonna bring up was pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
I'm gonna bring pumpkin up because I hate it.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
It's on this list compared to that for halloweens to
sit on your pork be calm down, that's all they
mad rude.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Number one of food we talk our parents. Do not
play with your food. They allow you to play with
pumpkin because it ain't fool. It ain't no other day
besides no fiemble, I mean Thanksgiving, Halloween.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
How you make how you make pumpkin pie? It is
a food, No it ain't. Don't you do it yet?
You told me, you told me the smooth love that
stir him out, get him going. You told me the
smooth house loves some pumpkin pie.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
You know all.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I want to ask y'all live win to have y'all
left the house say, baby, I'm going to the grocer store.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
You need anyday if anybody in your household child, I
wife s it, please bring some pumpkin. Nobody. That's how
many people.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
That's a good point. It's a very real thing. But
I think we can all agree that wins and losses
in the preseason don't apply to don't don't apply to
you win in the super Bowl useless. Carolin, would you
agree with that don't matter? I agree with that, okay,
and think well that's the one we're able to all
agree on there. Thank you, intern Caroline, producer Caroline for

Speaker 1 (03:38):
So yeah, thanks for voting, get your tickets, use a
QR code. Look at the description and the muty August
twenty second. Start the football season off with us. We'd
really appreciate it. H Now, we've got some stuff to
talk about, specifically joint practice, and it's always we talked
about it pretty much.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I think we all three of us feel different about it.
I know Santana hate stem.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
I think with Santana, I thought you was a meal.
So so for me, I understand why coaches like joint practices,
but as a player man, it wasn't my jim. I
know you, like I.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Enjoyed going against other players because the one thing I
did a good job is I had a tamil that
I kept my whole career that I would update on players,
and I could get no more intimate information than on
you than practicing against you.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
So the thing that used to get me Tanna was
like I never knew the tempo because it's like.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
When you were on hand once meet. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
So what I'm saying is like you come out to
practice right and all of a sudden it's like, hey,
we're gonna like I remember we had a joint practice
against the Patriots, and it's like, hey, we're gonna do live,
we're gonna do live special teams. And then all of
a sudden we get out right before practice, like hey,
kickoff return won't be live, the wedge won't be live. Right,
So you got guys coming down and our guy went
with their group and absolutely obliterated the wedge and got
(04:52):
dog cussed. So then I was like, well, are they
gonna retaliate against UF So they're gonna do something different.
And that's how every day was, because like when you're
doing those physical positions and you can get embarrassed, guys.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
What you feel like?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It was always about I didn't know the tempo and
how's this team gonna gage just compared to Gay?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Right, So do you remember when we had against who
was it Houston? Do you remember that one where there's
a big fight were I was just so huge fight
at Houston. So the first day we get out there
and we like we put it on him a little bit.
We put them on him a little bit. So you know,
usually it's like, hey, no, it's not super competitive, we're
not gonna fight. They were Houston was on hard Knocks
(05:31):
that year. Yeah, mill O'Brien's in the MIDI room, like,
you guys got embarrassed. That's ridiculous. So the next day
they come out like gangbusters. And then the third day
it was like it was gonna there was no way
it wasn't gonna be a fight. There was no way
it wasn't gonna be a full brawl because you just
it just ramped up.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
The emotions with it, and.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
To me, that's why it's so important when you do
these you got to do them with someone that you trust, right,
And dan Quinn talked about Mike Rabel. He's like, I
can trust Mike Rabel because like he's gonna do it
the right way.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
And that's one of my main reasons that I didn't
like them, because it's one thing to get ready for
another team when you're playing a game or preseason.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Game because you know the standard.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
But in practice, you can't tell me one period of live,
next period shut down, because guess what, somebody on one
of them sides are gonna take advantage of you and say,
all right, I'm gonna go live now since he's not
going live.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Yeah, and that's what you got.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
You got guys that's trying to make a play, that's
trying to make a team, and so just scratch that.
I don't want to be out there with you until
I have to see you in the preseason.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
But I think I think the coaches get so much
from it because they can literally like run game plan.
I feel doing some stuff that I can't do in
the like that makes no sense for me to do
in the preseason game it makes no sense.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
It's hard for the players, I think, But for the coaches, yeah,
and for Adam, they'll get the critique of oh my gosh,
it's invaluable.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
And I get to study the players on the other team.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
So I understand that I don't get it twisted. Yeah,
I understand the value of it. Like we get to
run actual red zone, actual two minute, actual third down,
call one on one, feel different, and it's awesome. It's
great evaluation. It's great for the coordinators, it's the best.
But for players it is like this weird line. And
then the other thing I was thinking about, were you
here when we played New England? Do you hear of
that one?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So I remember New England in seven on seven they'd
bring nine guys over and Jay Gruden was just.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Like, oh, because they had the defensive menions.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Yes, right, And so as a tight end, I'd line
up in a three point stance. The defensive end who
would normally rush with Jammy to the middle linebacker who
was like DeVante high Tower would hear hold me, I'd
been like a double vice, like a gunner getting into
my route obvious PI. And then Jay couldn't say anything
to Jake go to Belichick and so so Belichick. We
were just like the scout team for Belichick's the the
(07:37):
New England Patriots when I was out there. Yeah, and
so it's so important to have like guys you trust,
guys you get get work with. And it sounds like
Dan feels that way about I.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Also remember two when we went through those practices. I
remember that preseason game we couldn't kind of take a toon.
Yeah we did, you know, we kind of had a
we had we had a better out and in them
Now in practice you couldn't see it, but when we
got in that preseason game, we looked like the better team. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Yeah, And again like so that's where that's where it's
for me. Is I mean, but you liked it as
a player, and I think.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It makes for a better preseason game because, like you said,
you retching it up at practice and the guys be like,
I can't wait, Like I can't wait until we get
out of here Sunday. So I can make you feel it,
you know what I'm saying. So I think both teams
are more emotionally invested into that preseason game because of
the practices doing the week, because of the fights, because
(08:24):
of the scuffles, because of everything that goes on.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
So I think it's this Blesses in his minuses.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
I did feel more invested in the game and I
felt like I knew what they were doing. Yeah, I
felt like I knew the personnel and I felt like
I knew the blitzer they were gonna run.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
So like like you had a real week of study,
like a game week.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Like yeah, Like I felt like I was really ready
to go. So for the preseason game, I was locked in.
But in the week you're.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Just like, while y'all out there with your friends on,
I'm out there just job.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
You didn't have to talk to anybody, don't have to
do anything.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
But you know they would.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
We would do a couple of live drills and when
when the teams came over, we were a couple of
lives the ground to the ground.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Sometimes, Yeah, we was out there. I remember we got
into a drill thing. It was a two minute drill
in practice in a live or you know that live practice.
And I remember I forgot the guy name is. He's
a cornerback. He played for a while. He grabbed me
every which way I went. He was just tugging on me,
and I'm like, bro, first of all, it's practice, yeah.
Second of all, I'm trying to make it to the
preseason game, so I kind of like saying something to him,
(09:23):
like but he apologized immediately.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Then you get one of his his buddies.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I don't apologize. That's how we coming. So I'm sitting
there in linel like and then that started pre and
pr went this is what I'm talking about. I got
these little pit bulls over here that's ready to eat
somebody's face off. But I'm just trying to tell, buddy,
be mindful who you who you covering. If you can't
cover me, don't pull me. But that's the reason why
I hated it going against guys like that in practice,
because I'm saying to myself. With my own guys, I
(09:49):
can talk to them and say, look, man, let's trying
to save each other, you know, for you know.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
For the game or whatever, and also for you, Tanner,
and maybe for Smooth too. It's like if I'm a
young guy and I see Sattana Mossa, like I'm trying
to make a name for my thing. Yes, but I'm
trying to make him look bad.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
And I'm not mad at that, like they go to
thing about it, They go to the hint of competition
there's not.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
There when there's not another team, which I'm all for,
but just do it the right way, you know what
I mean, covering me without having a.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Pull on me so I can hurt my hamstrings or something,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Yeah, So obviously incredibly important, like knowing the coach you're
going with, like knowing there's gonna be no shenanigans, knowing
that they're gonna be on message. That's super important. Another
couple questions like that is like what are they like.
We talked a little bit about like what we don't
like about them, but let's talk about the structure of
the joint practice. And to me, it's like if you've
been to any practice, it's like you got your warm up,
(10:40):
you got your team run maybe nine on seven, depending
what the coach is. Then you do one on one, yeah,
maybe seven on seven, and then it's like it kind
of follows a normal practice structure. Yeah, a little scaly,
but the practice structure follows kind of a mix of
your practice and yes, yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
It's a hybrid form of it, but it's a lot
of work. Getting completed, and that's what I did like
about bless you. I'm gonna get a lot of work
done and that's all that matters to me.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
I think one of the things that stood out about
our practice that time when we went against the Patriots
was how we walked to the next drill and they
were sprinting, like almost every time you heard that whistle blow,
you didn't see a guy from the Patriots walking and
I was walking over there like like that's the difference.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
When that's the difference that I'm glad you brought that
up because I remember going to New England and it
was like everything was crazy sharp, like the receivers with
Tom Brady, the protections of communication, and you were just like, oh.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
I'm talk Tom go off on Edelman. I'm like, Lord,
have mercy, that's what they're doing over there.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
But it was a difference in Tom going out on
Edelman and r G three running in selling myself. It
was a tone why he cheering the crowd on Like
one was raisor shop and focus, the other one was
just we.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Was out yeah man. And so that's kind of the
structure different different for different teams. The intensity is something
we just talked about. It definitely goes up, but it's
kind of in this weird like it's not it's not
a game, it's not a practice.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
And I can't put bad fem out there, like the
Eye in the Sky dolt Lie. And I think that's
what really had me going, is I can't put that
bad felm out there.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
I'm trying to gauge it.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
I'm saying to myself, I only practice hard, So no
matter who you are, I don't have a pro practice
and hard. I'm just trying to gauge, like, do I
give an effort in this drill? Like I gave an
effort in the last year, which is hard to do
because they're telling you, Okay, we're gonna take this one off.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
But I'm going to get a guy with another uniform,
and so it's hard to take that.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Is he gonna take it off? That's the thing too.
So all of a sudden you're like, I'll go a
little bit harder, He'll go a little bit harder, and
then all of a sudden, the Joe's full speed. And
that's the thing that always drove me nuts. And like
Freddie talked about this, the work's always really I feel
like the work is really good.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Yeah, the work is good.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
The only concert, like everything about it, drawing practice is good,
like the working able to gain from a playbook standpoint,
the coaching, all those things are really important. The only
thing is like you don't know drill to drill. That's
the only negative thing about it. Everything else is positive, And.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
I understand it.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It's a tempo in fluctuation there and I totally understand.
But I think, like y'all said, when you're doing it
with the right team, the two head coaches out on
the same and we get the same message out a
wee around.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And that's what Dan said about Mike Graveley said, as
a coach, you're going to work with someone who does
it the right way and has good sessions. And that's
exactly what Mike Rabel is, you know, and like they
know each other.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
That's why I always enjoyed my sixtion with the Ravens
because it was up tempo. You know, they gonna be
physical regardless, so it was always kind of high stakes feeling.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah, so obviously really excited for the joint practice. Again,
that's a great opportunity for some down the roster guys
just to get to get some real competitive reps and
do some stuff. But then also we get to the preseason,
and the preseason game is going to be interesting coming
off because I don't know what they're gonna do. We
don't know yet who's gonna play, who's not gonna play.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Usually the first team doesn't play a lot the week
that you you practice with a team, because you get
most of your first team practice.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Talking about that real quickly.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
So this is what happened.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's why I think these practice are so good because
by the time the preseason game come, I know we
ain't got that from drive. We already did our work,
and we did our work in secret, and we did
more detailed work. So I think, well, we're gonna get
into second team and maybe a couple of first teams
people out there that they want to see. Maybe we
play a different position, but it's gonna be mostly second team.
(14:34):
I think started the game out second to what the
Chargers did.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
I got a real question for you, both guys, does
Jade and Daniels need to play in the preseason if
we're doing all these joint practices, because that's what they
in the second game, just for the process.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Just for just so the new guys that didn't play
with him know his cadence get a little game action
in like.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I guess that's not just for him, it's also for
like yo.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
And you see, I don't want him to to get
in the thing where he starts off slow, because see
Joe Burrow does this sometime. Never play in the preseason then,
and the Bengals start off slow in the first five
four games. I would read for him to play in
the second game and not the third game. I think
it's cool for him to get out there and get
a couple of reps. I mean, true, I don't want
to see him out there the whole entire you know,
(15:19):
first quarter or nothing like that.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
But if you get him out there and get him
a drive going and then get him off the field,
that to me. I know everybody's wired differently, but to me,
I used to have a little chart in my head
of that preseason Game one I did six players, Game
two I did fifteen.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Game three was Game three was that big game for us?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
I did a half or I did up to you know, halftime,
and I'm like, okay, we went, I'm ready to go.
So I'm not sure if he gets that kind of
gratification out of it, but I would like to see
it for the sake of just the team alone as
a whole. So y'all can, like you said, get familiar
with him, his cadence. Yeah, you know what he sees
and certain coverages. I mean, they're not gonna show a lot,
(16:01):
They're gonna be vanilla, you know what I mean. But
still you want to be out there with them and
live bullets thrown at you so you can get I
don't kind of temperament how things to pretty much be expected.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
I just don't want him to his first pass the
debo to be in week one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well, I remember, like with Tom Brady and even Paid Manning,
like they wouldn't do preseasons because they had done him
the joint practice, and so like are you protecting him
or which I.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Could understand them not putting in the game because of
the joint practice. And that's why I say, the joint practice,
you get so much more out of them that I
can see them saying, this is the preseason game. I
works list all this work we just did.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. But again,
like to tennis point in your original point, like there's
something about putting the helmet on, getting under the lights,
being in the stadium. Yeah, just getting that it's back.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Like at one point, it has to say it's back
more than just a training camp, Like you have to
be some game preparation in there, and I don't care
for like I said, I do not care for just
for one, I want to see him out there.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
As a UNI.
Speaker 5 (17:02):
I love anticipating, just knowing that I'm gonna be in
that hotel room the night before, I'm gonna have to
eat my pregame meal, like all that stuff was routing
that I look forward to because it's something that I'm
used to. And he, like you said, even if it's
one draft, three plays that who cares, It's just get
me back into rhythm of things.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
That's an interesting point too, because like again, like your
whole process starts right like what I want to eat?
What time do I want to get to the stadium.
He kind of worked that out in the preseason, so yeah,
maybe even though like he doesn't need to play a ton,
just working that process might not be a bad idea.
So this game is interesting to me, and I hope
Drake made plays for them because like I remember doing
the draft stuff last year and it was like we're
(17:43):
going back and forth, so many good quarterbacks, and like
Drake may had his people that thought he should have
been the first pick overall, and obviously there's some guys
that thought they And now they're going to see each other.
I mean, we'll see if they end up playing, but
I like, what's the expectation for them? And like, how
excited are you watch some of these guys from New England.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
I think I think when it comes down until we'll
be able to see them in practice, that's probably gonna
be the biggest thing East other I'm not sure how
much they gonna put on Drake Drake Mayder go out
there in the preseason game either, but practice is probably
gonna be must see, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
We're gonna be up tempo. It's gonna be up tempo.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
You're gonna be seeing them getting the oos and I
gonna get our oos and ohs. But as far as
preseason game one, I don't know. I don't I really
don't know what to expect because I don't know how
they how they're looking at things going forward. Just with
Drake Maye, you know, having a productive year last year,
he was pretty productive.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
So dude, they need to see more in the preseason
game or not.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I think they don't, Like you said, getting all them
reps in practice. I think they're gonna love that bit.
And I told you I went out on the limb
and said, twenty twenty four quarterback class is the best
quarterback clans of all time. I think it has a
legit change the wag Bo Nicks and Michael Pennix and
those guys.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
We finally get to see J J. McCarthy. I think
they will have a great group.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
But I'm interested to seeing our wide receiver group versus
Christian Gonzales Carton Davis.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
That's gonna be a good match up right there.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
We was all high on Trey vo Henderson coming out,
so watching him run the ball and step Vun Diggs.
I told that our defensive cks got some questions that
need to be asked when it comes to step Vun
Diggs in the West, you know, whide receivers in New England.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, and I think this is always like a cool opportunity,
like you're saying, I think the joint practice will touch
on this too, but like Trey Amos versus a guy
in Stephan Diggs who's had six thousand New York seasons. Yeah,
it's gonna be different than the way Deebo does it, right, Yeah,
most definitely How to see match up with someone who's
like got that nuance route running, you know, And I'm
not saying Stephan Diggs is still a top ten wide receiver,
but no, he.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Should run round sugar. He can run right. Get that
dog in him, you know what I mean? He won
those guys. He's gonna bring his He's gonna bring his
heart head in his lunch.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But no, you better get ready when stephunn coming. He
goes fun fake y'all. The state of Maryland say it's
all about crab cakes and football. Well, step Vun Diggs
might be the closest thing to a Hall of Fame
with that they have, like they have zero Hall of
Famers in the state of Maryland.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
Step Vun Diggs is the closest. Day.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
It's kind of unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
Yeah, that is unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
So I think that worked, Like that's the matchup, like
in the week of practice, I'm excited to watch. I
don't know how much they'll play in the game. That's
the thing about these preseason games, like coming off a
joint practice, especially, like how much are they gonna play?
But I'd love to see that matchup, how the defense
handles it. Yeah, you know treyvon will dude, Will Campbell. Right,
here's the fourth pick overall this year, the tackle with
short arms, like yeah, do we put him in the blender?
(20:25):
And one on ones like I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
Don Frankie, Frankie jump over him? Like I love saying
is it's some good tests.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
When it comes to New England, they have re riot
and rebuilt their roster.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
There's gonna be a respectable team. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
And so the other thing i'd say too, like if
the starters aren't playing right. I had a fan today
actually out on the field here asked me, like, who
should we watch in the preseason? Obviously I like to
watch the other team because like the draft and the
young players they've had and how to build a team.
But for the commanders, to me, it's literally like just
those those fringe guys like watch your Tyler Owens, watcher
(21:00):
Kane Madronald, watch Brooks, Yeah, watch Brooks, watch Bill. That's
exactly right. Chris Rodriguez. Can he make a name for himself?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
And so Mike stratchon the big tall wide receiver, we
was talking about it Lee what's his name? Yeah, from
UCLA Yeah yeah, but a little running back. So all
those guys I think would be really interesting if you're
a Commanders fan, because all those guys are fighting for
their lives. Yeah, so they should be putting their best
foot forward. Who makes the big play, who finds the
explosive opportunity? And again, like that's why I like the
(21:32):
preseason is for those guys.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
No, I like to watch these guys and listen, every
guy out there has a chance to turn them up
into Victor Cruz. We watched Victor Cruz take a preseason
beat people like a drum and turn into a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Yeah. And so another question I got from a fan
out here on the field today was how do we
watch a preseason game? We just talked about watching some
of the guys. You know what I mean, who you
should be looking for? Name you should be looking at,
But like, what are the coaches looking for or in
a preseason game?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I think one of the biggest thing we talk about
this every year, alignment and assignment? You know, how do
you follow instructions? How do you play a kitchen to detail?
Speaker 4 (22:10):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
The things, the things that we see these guys out
here practicing for. That's something of the same things. Coach
gonna be like, let me see if I could put
him in a game in the in the heat of
the moment and he remembers the assignment or third and loan,
he knows that we had to check off or something
because we saw something different. You know, do he know?
Do he know everything? Is he ready for the test?
Is he ready to be quizzed on the fly?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
You know?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
And I think that's what preseason games are because.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Some of the things you can't really predict the outcome
of what's gonna happen or what's gonna transpire and can
we change things on the fly.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Sorry to everyone's excited about Jadon Daniels walking by.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I totally understand when the Jedi is in your presence, Jedi,
But I think when it comes to a coach looking
at a team, I mean looking at his team, he
want to see candle the players, the young players, correct
the mistakes they make it practice and you know what
they would get players cut continuously making the same mistakes.
(23:06):
Can you go correct yourself on the run in Folk
Corton and can't you bring them from what you do
on the practice field to.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
The game field.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
And I think the other element here that like I
couldn't agree with both you guys more alignment. Assignment is
the main thing. I also think there's a physical element
though that you want to see. Like I think about
cave Vedrono. You've talked about him on every show. Yeah,
at practice he looks amazing, Like the way he covers,
the way he moves, He's got great ball skills. Yeah,
I want to see him put the put the ride
down on.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
You want to see him swap paint.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
That's what I want to see, man, You know what
I mean? Can you figure it out? It was the
question coming out of college, and you know, and the
other one is like running backs too, is like the
physicality of the position. Can we pick up a blitz?
How do we break a tackle?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Because everyone says Bill looks right out here, and he does.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah, but it's a pillow fight, Like you're right, it's
a certain positions on the football field.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
I can't gauge into his real is real.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I can't gauge you're running back and tell you how
good he is until I see him wrong behind his pass.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Or even like with the offensive line, tanna, like any
position that requires a certain amount of physicality, like I
gotta see it.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
I think that's one.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
I think that's one group of guys that they don't
get a night off, you know what I mean. It
don't matter, It don't matter if this is an exposition
or if it's the real thing. The office in D
line don't get a night off. So that's gonna be
very interesting too, just to see. You know, we keep
talking about depth and how many guys that we have.
It's gonna be great to see the different lineup that
(24:32):
they throw out there together, you know what I mean.
Maybe some of those guys who projected to start don't
even play at all, you know, depending on if Jayden's
out there or not, or maybe they do.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Maybe they still.
Speaker 5 (24:40):
Protect the other guy, you know, Marcus, Yeah, Marcus or
whoever else going to be, you know, the second or
third guys.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So these pass and these practices give guys like connorly.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Chance to change the narrative because.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
I can only show you I'm physical by actually being physical.
So that's why I like padded practice. That's why I
like the game situation. It gives players like this saying
to say, now I'm actually ahead of where you think
I am. I just couldn't showcase it because we ain't
have pants out man.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Janden Daniels a popular You earn it. You don't just
get that, Like, I'm kind of disappointed that he's out
here because I can't hear your guys great analysis. While
he's talking. It's so loud. Now it's starting to quiet down.
He must have gone. The other thing is, like you
talked about this on the Command Center show, Tanna is like,
you know, when you were a veteran, you got to
(25:29):
sit back and kind of watch the young guys play.
How do those young guys, those guys that are trying
to make a practice squad, maybe trying to make the
you know, the sixth linebacker, the fifth linebacker, the fourth
the fifth edge rusher, how do those guys stand out
to you and make and say I deserve to be
on the roster.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Yeah, we always I'm pretty sure y'all did the same
thing in you'all room, but we took pride in our
room to see how guys excel that night, you know,
I mean, especially we know you're gonna get a lot
of reps, like this is your time to show coaches
that like like you say, the Dini's guy online put
it on, put good stuff on tape, which we didn't
use the stuff word. We used something else. But I
used to love man just watching those guys. Like we
(26:08):
had a guy we call bombs over Bad that I'm
not sure he was around. We had that one wide receiver.
He was from Atlanta, Georgia, and he was a rapper.
Remember I forgot his name, Ross Red or Red or
one of them like that. But if bombs are bad day,
he would get on the field and he was gonna bomb.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Someone was in Ross Rocket want Rocket Ross?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Right? Yeah, I remember the same type of deal man.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, but we just love to see our guys have
a good night.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
So that's what I'm looking I'm looking forward to seeing
those guys who gonna get more opportunities to say, Okay,
I'm making the case for one of these positions.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
I'm making a case for the practice squad, whatever it
may be. You know what I mean. We took pride
in then in our room and I love to see it.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
We always told our guys this, if you don't make
this squad, make it hard for the other thirty one
to turn you down because when you come out here
and play on TV, they watch it. They scouts are
paid to watch you. So it's more than just our
team this way. And we know from playing that fifty
three can be a true number crunch, like like we
can have a guy that's waiting on I hard, and
(27:07):
the reason the fifty third guy don't make the team
because we got to keep a roster spot for this guy.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
So it's just a numbers game.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
So I always tell them play like your life depending
on it, because it does.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, you're definitely her football life. And that's and and
so for people watching at home, people say, well, how
do I know if a guy is doing a good job?
And I think the easiest way, quite honestly, is this
the guy you're interested in? Making plays? Like are they
making receptions? Are they making blocks?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Are they tackle?
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Are they making tackles? Usually if they are, that's a
really good sign that they're they're making moves. Yea, you
know me.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
And the amount of playing time a coach gives you,
I call it opportunity. Give you all of this opportunity,
take advantage because guess what next.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Week they might want to get a guy behind you.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Those real that's right, that's absolutely right. So obviously, like
to me, the preseason is so much fun because you
have to watch all these guys play. But something that
fans always ask is do preseason games wins or losses
matter matter? And and our guy producer Jason came up
with a with a great segment and it's he thinks
(28:10):
because Jason thinks that this doesn't matter. And I agree
with preseason games wins and losses don't matter.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
But the wins and losses purely don't matter.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
So the scot the scoreboard does not matter. No like
you could. But if let it feel good if you win.
It does feel good if you win, but I think
about it. So a great example is the Hall of
Fame game. Right, if you are the Chargers, you feel
great because everyone held the standard of play. Right. You
were physical, you were tough, you were well executed, you
made plays. If you're Detroit as a coach, you're probably
(28:43):
pissed off.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
Coach Campbell, he got on them.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
It was a mess.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
Yes it wasn't And guess what.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Everybody felt like Detroit were gonna take a list of
bet because when you lose your offensive coordinator and your
defensive coordinator, you got to get too new coordinated with
with a whole new system in here.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
Hey, you lost Reck, No listen to me.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
The center rack though retiring is gonna be one of
the biggest reasons that they take a step back.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
But what I will say is that didn't play, Jamison Williams,
didn't play, Jared Goff didn't play. So ultimately, ye know, ultimately,
I think they figure it out and they played good
football this year, the Detroit Lions. But I think to
your main point, it's like I remember playing the preseason
games and we'd lose the game, but like we played
a physical, tough, competitive bout and just the ball didn't
(29:27):
go our way. And I feel like, as a coach,
you can be happy with that, right.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
It's like this, man, although that it doesn't matter, you
still feel so good coming off of that preseason game.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
When you gotta win.
Speaker 5 (29:41):
That first day of back to camp just makes everybody stiff.
And when you don't trust me, you don't want to
be out there. Because now coaches they have one they
want to chew you out for every little thing you do,
and they're gonna they're gonna call it this is the
reason why you look like this in the preseason. It's
the reason why we couldn't line up. So I think
one of the things that mattered to me most so
(30:02):
than winning the game is just looking apart, going like
I said before, lining up in the right place, carrying
out my assignment, playing with the right kind of intensity.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
You know, if you go out there and play with
like your hair on fire, I'll do us.
Speaker 5 (30:14):
A preseason game. If you give us a chance to
win the game, then I have nothing to say about
if we don't.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
And I think that's a great point because like it
doesn't matter, like like you winning or losing the first
preseason game doesn't matter. If you doesn't mean you're going
to the super Bowl. Yeah, but I do think it
is as it's definitely a vibes thing in the building,
which is important. But in honor of the preseason, we're
gonna do a draft. We have a special guest coming
on today. It's no longer intern Caroline, it is it
(30:41):
is producer Caroline. So Caroline, thank you so much for
coming out and the reason Caroline's here is because we're
gonna do a draft of things. Much like the preseason
wins and loss record, they does not matter.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
They just don't matter anymore.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Yeah, it's gonna be entering Caroline for this show forever. Sorry, Caroline,
because I don't want to remake the graphic, so it's
just going to be entered Caroline.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Caroline, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
Yeah, but the idea of to set this up, why
I brought Caroline here. The idea is that like wins
and losses don't matter, but people get really hyped up
about it. Like you said, Like I agree with you, guys,
Like I hear what you're saying. The vibes matter, Like
playing well matters. I'm not talking about you can play
bad in the preseason and it doesn't matter. I'm just saying,
if you're in the l column, who cares, Just as
(31:26):
long as you're getting out of that preseason game what
you need to get out of it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
So that being said, what are some other things? Doesn't
have to be football or related that is popular or
that people believe is important, but it's meaningless. It just
means nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
All right, I got one right off the bed. Your
appendix is useless.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
Actually, they've found out that it's not useless anymore.
Speaker 4 (31:48):
All of a sudden, it wasn't useless for thirty Now
we needed what for teared.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
DUTs No, Like I was just read an article about it.
It's like the backup brain for your gut. So like
let's say you get sick, right and you get like
diarrhea for example, it's the that's the organ that helps
like reset your gluffy, get you the good in the
bab backteria. Yeah, I get your reset. So it didn't
it was. It was useless for a long time, but
apparently it's useful now. I don't have mine. I have
(32:14):
not noticed any ill effects of not having them. And
I think that.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Sist the invention of the air fryer. The microwave is used.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Dude, I might be on board with that one.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Yeah, Michael Wave is definitely that one.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Are we drafting and we're just saying stuff here, just
say stuff.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
What you say your wisdom to wisdom to They've been used,
they used to. I'm saying casts of them now.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
I mean we got two letchers out, by the way.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
I got mine out when I broke my jaw, so
I had to take them out to you got too,
But I'm like, why are you there if I don't
need them? You know what I mean? Why why are
they there?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
If you want to wait till I'm a certain amount
of years old, and then you say, oh, you have
to remove these now.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Because they used it because they pushed the other teeth forward, like.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
If you chip the tooth or something. Yeah, are you
telling the truth there, Fred?
Speaker 5 (32:56):
No, because I've seen kids get their whizm suit taken
out early.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Because they started to push the jog in the tea
for that. Why they say let's take them out?
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Yeah, But like I'm saying, what are they for? I
guess we like if you were like a Neanderthal or something.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Yeah, and you couldn't take them out.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
No, but you had like a chip tooth or a
dead tooth and then maybe it pushes out. I don't know,
we're not dentists.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
You use that like a spreare tiet.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, what we got? What's useles?
Speaker 7 (33:19):
Here's my useless take?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
You gotta talk loud, it's already here.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
The spelling bee, Like, why are we glorifying the spelling bee?
There's a national spelling bee and it's such a big
thing at least, like in Loud and County public schools
that you have a spelling bee, and just like, where
are you going with all that information?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
What are you doing it? It's like curling or something.
It's like the pole vault one hundred meters, Like, why
do we care about it? It's like a sporting event.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
No, she's correct, Like, we have never had a spelling
be king to be president.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
We have never had the spelling beating to be the
CEO of a fortune five hundred company.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
You just spail words.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
It's also like, why is chess important? It's the same thing.
Why is this different? Why is different?
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Hold on?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Hold of is it different?
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Because if care?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Like because if a computer can beat anybody in the
world in chest, it's just math, right, So like it's
the same thing with spelling. You're just memorizing words. It's
just a cool parlor trick. So like, I don't know
if I agree with.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
This parlor trick.
Speaker 7 (34:13):
You've ever been out and you're like, oh, can you
spell mitochondria?
Speaker 5 (34:16):
No you can't.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
If I could spell, I'd like I'd be like, hey
if I was if I was at a bar and
I wasn't married, I'd be like, hey, ask me to
spell anything.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
You like, Sit down. We don't care how good you
I a spelling.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
It's usually if I could spell mitochondred, i'd be spelling.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Is it any one career that because you're the best
spell in the world, you're gonna get.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
So now, I think I think you can make an
argument that's spelling, that spelling in general is useless because
you have like word processors, you have all this spell
check stuff.
Speaker 4 (34:46):
I don correct on my fat right, But I'm saying
if I in a in.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
A in a competitive event, which is the spelling Bee,
it's that you're trying to see who the best speller is.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
It's a couple understand said for something that has no
in game. It's the same thing also, but it also
helps you down the line.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
I mean, I get what you're saying has no endgame
far as you can't do nothing because you're the champion.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Like, but you get smarter. I mean, you know you
know how to spell words.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
You know when you have to write a paper or
you have to text somebody, you ain't gonna be looking
and saying, hey, help me spell this word, because I
know I have I have problems all the time spelling,
and I'm sitting there like, damn, without my phone, I'm useless.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
None of I understand what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
But you aren't gonna go to be called to spelling
be champion the eighties, ain't gonna call thembody out these words.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
But I'm saying, for that speller, for that person.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Who won the spelling be or who competed and learned
something while he was doing so, it makes him that
much smarter.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
To me, Okay, we're way off Trump. The point Carolina
is making is not is spelling useless?
Speaker 1 (35:48):
No, it's spelling, but I'm saying to sell.
Speaker 4 (35:52):
Us we have no other ways.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
But this is That's all perspective though, because there's certain
people that think, like football is useless. You ever met
somebody doesn't know anything about football?
Speaker 4 (36:01):
They completely don't.
Speaker 6 (36:03):
They don't look at how much, look at how much
is tied to football. It's tied to people's lives. But
you pulled football away, people's lives are gone.
Speaker 4 (36:10):
But that's it's gone.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
That's because we put a lot of like if we're
if we're in Japan, for example.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
Okay, we're no.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
But I've been saying, like, lo, can you give us one.
Speaker 4 (36:19):
Then I don't.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
I don't really. Everything's got, everything's useful. Now I'm kidding.
The one that Jason brought up that I think is useless, Yeah,
it's yours. I'm gonna steal it is the GPS in
your car. You don't use my GPS use.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Yeah, I don't use my GPS.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Cana, Nita do I use? You know you got you
got reverse nutrient drive. I've never used second in first,
I have never used. I have never said, you know
when he come ten.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Never, it's it's not second, it's whatever. It's like low,
it's not negative negative too.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
What about your tonsons because I see so many people
get a tosses removed like they are useless to me,
I'm like, if they do not need it, why they're there, Like,
you know, if you can remote, why are they there?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Caroline? Are they useless?
Speaker 4 (37:07):
Caroline?
Speaker 7 (37:07):
I think so I got my tonsils taken out. I
think some people's supposed to defend like bacteria and stuff,
but some people's attracted. So if I got mind taking
out when I was eighteen because I was always getting sick,
but some people it works. I make sure you're perfectly fine, right, Yeah,
I'm fine now, So why they're there?
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah? Why? Why two kids? You don't even have no more? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:27):
What we got? We got one?
Speaker 7 (37:28):
Okay, Yeah, let's let's do another one. I like the
GPS thing because I'm team ways and just no one
cares about that anymore.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
But I like wigs when I know where I'm going.
Speaker 7 (37:38):
Jason wrote this one.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I thought this was good.
Speaker 7 (37:41):
The periodic table when you learn that in middle school.
While so it's well, I mean, why are we learning those.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Cannot agree with y'all on a periodic table? They study
and gases in silence to it? All right, they are
I'm not talking.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
About the important of knowing elements. What I'm talking about
memorizing that test.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Now I can just google it. I can be like,
what's the peer, what's the periic table, Let me look
at it, or what's the composition of water? I can
just google it and I don't have to like commit
it to memory.
Speaker 6 (38:13):
This one of the biggest tricks that they did in
school is that anything that was ever printed up on
the on the wall, if they had to cover it
up during a quiz. This is a dumb quiz because
I can find that at any point whenever.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Basically, Jason say, American schools, you know, so, I think
I think that's no.
Speaker 6 (38:31):
I'm saying, teach me how to set up a four
oh one k not not don't teach me about it Mathma,
I don't care about volcas well.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
I think I think it's ultimately like if like, for example,
in math, like word problems. Everybody hates word problems, right,
But the reason you're getting that information is because you're
teaching you how to critically think and solve a problem.
Right if it's just straight memorization. Now, in the land
of Google and AI, it's like us, I can look
at up any time.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Let me ask you guys a question, how do you
feel about long vision?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
Because that is kind of insane.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
That was like, it's not it's not useless.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
It's your because I need to do is learn how
to sell. And it's a trick.
Speaker 3 (39:10):
I don't need to do nothing that loan to divide.
You gotta know how to check in my bank account.
I was not doing loan to be I was minus.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
I'm gonna tell you what's he really? Fruit cake? It's
really you don't like fruitcake. First of all, nobody actually
eats it.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
It turns into a piece of furniture. Like I want
to go to the fruitcake factory and say ship down.
Speaker 5 (39:33):
Had to see more fruitcake sitting on my table at
a cookout.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Then I'm like, who brought this? Who? No one touches it,
like like it's embarrassing thing, Like why are they still
making it? Brought old bred?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
The one I thought you were gonna bring up was pumpkins.
Speaker 4 (39:48):
I'm gonna bring pumpkin up because I hate it.
Speaker 5 (39:51):
It's on this list compared to that for halloweens to
sit on your pork be calm down, that's all they
mad rude.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Number one of food we talk our parents. Do not
play with your food. They allow you to play with
pumpkin because it ain't fool. It ain't no other day
besides no fiemble, I mean Thanksgiving, Halloween.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
How you make how you make pumpkin pie? It is
a food, No it ain't. Don't you do it yet?
You told me, you told me the smooth love that
stir him out, get him going. You told me the
smooth house loves some pumpkin pie.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
You know all.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
I want to ask y'all live win to have y'all
left the house say, baby, I'm going to the grocer store.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
You need anyday if anybody in your household child, I
wife s it, please bring some pumpkin. Nobody. That's how
many people.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
That's a good point. It's a very real thing. But
I think we can all agree that wins and losses
in the preseason don't apply to don't don't apply to
you win in the super Bowl useless. Carolin, would you
agree with that don't matter? I agree with that, okay,
