And we have had just such fabulous.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Members of the Philuff Eagles come join us every week

of young men in this Phillup Eagles is comprised of it.
Today we have one of the young stars and he's
out there a lot running around. We're ninety seven this year.
We'll get into a number change. But Morrow a joo.

the oh that it ends with is a no, and
that's really hard.

Speaker 6 (02:11):
You're good. I mean I went by it in high
school and I was Ojamo and uh, nobody hears. I'm
sure you've been called worse.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
I mean, nobody's ever gotten your name right, Like, Yeah,
how many Nigerian players have played in the NFL, the
Nigerian Nightmare, Christian Nikoya of course had, There's a lot,
probably a fair share, even the Ravens had.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
You've got Madibouquet Nigerian. Yeah, number ninety nine they got
from Penn State. I can't remember his name right now. Nigerian.
It's it's becoming gun of Nigerian NFL league.

Speaker 5 (02:45):
You know, Nigerians.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
There's obviously a lot of good athletes come out of there,
but it's also such a smart group of people. I've
known so many Nigerians and they stress education and it's
just I went to law school with several a doctor
and you know what, I need to interject a personal
note here, Davis, you know, and I don't want to
get too personal or too sad at the start of

(03:07):
a show, but I lost my father, Harris Colton, a
couple of days ago, Saturday, over the Thanksgiving Day weekend,
and he had suffered over the last three months.

Speaker 6 (03:15):
But he had.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
A long, amazing, ninety two year life, and it was
married to my mother for sixty nine years, together for
seventy four out of it, when he was eighteen, she
was sixteen. He was a dentist. He was an extremely
proud man, a veteran of the Air Force during the
Korean Conflict, and just a wonderful man and a wonderful father.
And I want to dedicate tonight's show to Harris Coulton.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
I would love him forever. He'll be in my heart forever.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
And I was really really privileged to have such a
great father in my life. Now you are joined here
by your father, and I know he was a huge
influence in your life. So talk to me about a
father as I got sappy.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
Yeah, no, Hey, Jerald, By the way, you've.

Speaker 7 (03:52):
Gone through a lot here these last several months, and
I love you, and I know you feel great pain,
and also I know you feel great life. So I'm
here with you, my man, and we will all celebrate
his life together.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Everyone should be so fortunate as to live the life
my father and parents lived, and then to even end
it the way he did with his mother or with
his wife, my mother by his side holding him as
he peacefully passed away. And it's never going to be
great or ideal, but we can I and my family.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Can feel very good about that.

Speaker 6 (04:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
So tell me about your father who's here, and when
we're going to introduce him, if he has he ever
had chickies.

Speaker 6 (04:30):
And peach food. I don't think he's right, we're.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Going to introduce but but you know what, before we
get back into football second, talk about the influence that
your father was in your life.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
Yeah, I mean, my dad has been an immense influence. Right.
There's a lot of quotes that I live and die
by by my father. One of them is like never
having a better yesterday, right, And it always encourages me
to keep moving forward, whether the day is bad or
the day is good, right, just always looking forward. And
my dad always makes me feel like the war the
world is my oyster. And I mean he literally makes

(05:04):
me feel like I can accomplish anything in this world.
And just to never back down mentality. I mean, my
dad is my role model. My dad is everything encouraged me.
And do you hear what he just said?

Speaker 7 (05:17):
That's what That's what every son wants to That's what
every father wants to hear from their son. I mean,
I am like tearing up here between the two of you.
I've got nothing to offer here. I mean, I I
love that beautiful how did how? We have got a
lot to talk tomorrow about, including yesterday's win and his contribution.

(05:38):
The defense is just playing great football. It's your second
year in the NFL, You're making great strides. You have
a bright present, a brighter future, and the pathway that
you've taken. As why I asked the Nigerian question, I
kind of want to know where it all started?

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Was was a Koya the first one?

Speaker 7 (05:56):
It's my gosh, that was three decades ago that he
played for the Kansas City teams. Like, so, before you
were born, there was already a pipeline of Nigerian born
men in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Do you know how it started? I know, I'm not sure,
but I think that a lot of values that football
represents align a lot with Nigerian values and how you're raised.
And I think that that is why Nigerian men have
been able to come to the NFL and have sex sex.
And I would say, also, David, I didn't mean to
dirupt you upstry.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
It is that there's been more of an influx of
Nigerian's into America. Yeah, and so just more opportunity to
play our sports and in your own personal life.

Speaker 5 (06:38):
You didn't actually pick it up till pretty late yourself.

Speaker 6 (06:41):
Yeah, I mean it wasn't super late. My little bit
of my story is was born Nigeria, moved to California
when I was seven, and then my cousins were playing football.
I had no idea what it was. I remember going
on tryouts and everyone was like lining up to be
a quarterback. I'd never thrown a football in my life,
and they saw I threw the football and put me

(07:01):
in like the O line. D Were you big though? Yeah?
I was big. I was always was a big kid.
I was always big for my age. A little thing
that's kind of unique about my story is I was
always two years younger than ever one in my grade
you know.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
So, and that's the academic part. Yeah, because you were
a smart kid.

Speaker 6 (07:20):
You know So I had an interesting transition of you know,
when I started playing grade ball, I was kind of
just average size, you know, and was never just towering
over anyone. And I think it's helped me my motivation, right.
You know when I was in high school, I was
a backup on the B team, right, second year sophomore team. Right,

(07:43):
so this is Michael Jordan's story. Yeah, Like, who would
have thought the fourth guy in my position coming in
as a freshman and you know all thanks to God,
wouldn't be here without the statement?

Speaker 7 (07:56):
Why is it do you think that some of the
Nigerian born qualities of a person translate well to the NFL?
Is it like the discipline, the intelligence factor, the work
as a team kind of guy. Why do you think
some of what are some of those qualities that you
think translate really well?

Speaker 6 (08:14):
Yeah, I would just say discipline. Ultimately, I think that
when you talk about Nigerians and Nigerians and their family,
it's instilled on them education, right, and it's instilled on
them hard work, and it's also instilled on them that
you know that person bleeds just like you bleed. So
never looking at something as like too big or an

(08:34):
opponent is too big, and just believing in yourself. You know,
I think we're prideful and confidentation.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
When why did you at age seven think that football
was something you wanted to do?

Speaker 6 (08:45):
I didn't. My cousins are doing it, and I was
just like the other boy that was in the house,
and they're like, wild, let's play football. Like who would
have thought, you know, I'd be where I am? Like,
it's really it's a great story. Let's make a movie
out of it. People, Well, we are we are?

Speaker 7 (09:01):
Are you?

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Are you in here?

Speaker 7 (09:02):
I'm sorry for you're up to you inherently physical? Are
you looking inherently physical? Even at that age a kid,
you just wanted to you you felt good about banging bodies.

Speaker 6 (09:11):
I don't know. I think I think I'm inherently competitive
and I'm I'm an extreme dreamer. You know, I would
anyone listening to this, I would advise you in your
life to live at like it's two strikes and three
balls and you're at that, and I'll tell you to
go for the home run. Right, You only get one life,
so better swing it. I love it, I love it.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I love you. Using a baseball metaphor, you certainly adapted
well to our culture anyway. But listen, uh, we want
to go a little bit more into your past later
in the show. But let's let's and and and certainly,
you know the choice of football and what landed you here.
We're very happy as filled out Eagles fans to have you,

(09:51):
and I think you're a part of something really really special,
and we'll get into that. As yesterday, as Dave mentioned,
the eighth straight win by the filled vehgles and and
to some extent, you're making it look easy.

Speaker 5 (10:03):
I know nothing's ever easy.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, I know there's a there's a confidence in a
way about this team that even even when down early yesterday,
I was very confident you would win the game because
you just got such a great formula. So that was
a There have been a couple of things over the
past couple of weeks that people point out, Hey, you know,
they want a bunch of games against not good teams.
These next two weeks against the Rams and the Ravens

(10:26):
were going to be big tests. He passed it with
flying colors. So it just seems like the team has
grown improved together, and especially your defense together, even even
losing a guy like bj So talk about what it
feels like internally.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
Yeah, So I'll say a couple of things. I think
after that Tampa game, the mindset was to just improve weekly,
right as a defense, and we're just like can we
let's control what we can control, right, And even you know,
when while we've been hot, it's always about it takes
what it takes, right, just taking it one game out
of time, one game at a time. And I don't know,

(11:02):
I mean, I'm so proud of this defense. And if
you see how much we're celebrating, how we're smiling, how
together we are, it's you know, it's it's the things
you dream of, Like you say, it's sets us really
really cool team and defense to be a part of.

Speaker 7 (11:17):
Is the celebration something that you know, Look, we attribute.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
That to camaraderie.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
Camaraderie comes from repetition, time spent together, success. When did
you feel it all start to click in? Because that
even even during that too, as you start there were
moments you know against Green Bay, great stops in the
red zone, Atlanta terrific game until the final drive the
Saints total domination Tampa Bay. Not a good performance. But

(11:46):
did you feel it building?

Speaker 6 (11:48):
Yeah, I think everyone is freaking out, you know, And
I mean, you know, that's what we do in Philly,
and I mean that's what that's what media is paid for, right,
And I think at the end of the day, like
our leadership, Sirianni. You know DC fic Fangio or D
line coach, coach Hurt, right, their job is to help
us understand that we're playing good football and there's stings

(12:09):
here and there that we need to fix and ultimately
just improving. Right. So, like we're at a point in
the season, Yeah we're tenning to two, but we're going
to do special things and that's that's the message. Right,
So no matter the opponent, are we getting better as
a team? Are we getting better as a defense? To
details the assignments, that's what's most important in a league

(12:30):
where you know more.

Speaker 7 (12:32):
In the old days, you would build that in practice
with being two hours and a two and a half
hours on the field and going through tons of repetitions.
And that's not the way in pads and tackling, and
that's not the way it is in the NFL these days.
Tell us like and the fans who are listening, and
why how do you learn? And the tackling has been

(12:54):
so good and the communication has been on point, and
there are no blown assignments, and how do you do
it with such limited.

Speaker 6 (13:01):
Time on the field?

Speaker 7 (13:03):
Now you don't have any idea what it was like
in the old days, but back then it was yeah. Yeah,
any old player will tell you like they played, they
practiced for six weeks in training.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
Camp and maybe so how do you do it? Yeah?
I mean I think I would attribute it to I
think the closeness of the team, and I think that
we've got, you know, coming into this year, I don't
think you have that many high name guys on the defense,
and you know, no crazy offseason signings. And I would
just say that we kind of took that as a

(13:34):
chip of our shoulder and we're a bunch of young
guys that you know, I think, love to play with
each other and we just run around and I think
that helps it. Also think that we have an amazing
defensive coldner Nader and Vic Fangio, and he puts us
in a lot of great situations. And you know, it's
it's really the people around you, right, So it's the coordinators,

(13:57):
it's the coaches, it's the players, it's everyone around.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
So but it's really interesting because although there were no
necessarily crazy veteran free sych ag signs, though CJGJ could
always be considered crazy, but he's returning to where he
really had great success, but you did add a lot
of new pieces, and you have the two rookie corners
who have been sensational of course in Mitchell and Cooper.

(14:24):
And then you've got really the growth to me of
some of the d linemen yourself included, but some of
the guys who you know just in the York stages' career.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
And then both the linebackers, although you know.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Nikobe was here for two years and Zach have been
so sensational. So from the outsider's perspective, watching you guys
and what you know, as Dave went through the whole
season and he got off to not the smoothest of starts,
not terrible, not smooth, did it take a little while
for everyone to sort of fit together and understand Vic's
system because there was such a change from what you

(14:56):
did in the past.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Yeah, I agree with that. I would think that definitely
vix system. I think playing with the new guys, you know,
and getting like that to jive right, and then just
understanding what he wants.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
You know.

Speaker 6 (15:11):
I think when you look at like our room and
like the way that we are around each other now,
there's just there's such a comfortability, right, everyone's kind of
authentic and being themselves. I saw quote yesterday.

Speaker 7 (15:23):
I was not I did not talk to Zach, but
he spoke after the game, after the big win over
the Baltimore Ravens, and he talked about how there's so
many players on this team who are underdog, who kind
of have.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
That underdog mentality. I love that idea.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
I love the idea that everybody is scrapping, fighting, working together,
nobody's I think sometimes in football, if you try to
be a hero, it comes back to bite you. And
how does that manifest for a defensive lineman if you
don't have gap integrity, if.

Speaker 6 (15:49):
You're trying to get sacks.

Speaker 7 (15:51):
Instead of playing within the team defense, that really comes
back to you, bite you and give up big plays.

Speaker 6 (15:56):
This Eagles defense does not do that.

Speaker 7 (15:58):
You're working with a coordinator and Vic who every player
we've had, we had Zach on here last week has
praised Vic Fangio and last year in Miami you heard,
you know, these stories coming out that he didn't relate.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
To young guys.

Speaker 7 (16:11):
How have you found Vic in terms of relating to
you and to make and Clinton and they've brought out
they they found a great role right now for you.
You're you're killing guys at the line of screamage. Your
past rush win rate is among the best in the league.
How is how have those guys related to you?

Speaker 6 (16:28):
Morol? Yeah, I'll say, first of all, I think that
VIC can relate to anyone. I think that people lose
perspective on older people because I don't know, maybe it's
nightye realized that, thank you, David. I mean, everyone everyone
was once twenty, everyone was once seventeen, right, and there's
that person is still inside. And as as I am

(16:50):
saying this right now, by God's grace, I'll be sixty
one day, but I'll still be that twenty three year old.
It was like at Chickens of Feet and Marlton. Yeah,
you know that's what I love about that.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
By the way, Dave, as we've talked a little bit
about the Nigerian culture, is I do find that our
country doesn't necessarily respect its elders as much as other
cultures do. And as an elder now, I really appreciate
that perspective because I really still feel like that twenty
one year old.

Speaker 6 (17:17):
And so I look in the mirror.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
And I say, who's this guy who keeps following me around?

Speaker 6 (17:22):
So I do appreciate and.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
What the age does come certain things and you don't
necessarily who's that fire in that spirit.

Speaker 6 (17:28):
Keep going on a story about Vinie So yeah, I
mean I think I don't know. Viga's great and he's
he has great quotes, you know, and he has great
energy and he does can connect with us and there's
just I don't know how to explain it. But you know,
things that are inside of the room are inside of
the room. But we have a hell of a time
and we laugh and you know what I mean, we

(17:49):
get what we need to get done. But there is
a great connection I would say between well using our players.

Speaker 5 (17:54):
He's goofy funny, yeah, like I mean, he's he really is,
and he doesn't.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Make funny kind of fun yeah, but he doesn't take
himself too seriously in a way, and it's it's really
enjoyable to watch, you know. You know, his history goes
back to actually starting his pro career in Philadelphia. His Stars, Yeah,
put the team that was in the USFL, the un
I Sities Football.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
League back in the early eighties.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
And he was an assistant sleeping in the basement a
veteran stadium, our old stadium.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
Here and he's risen, of course, to the top part.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Of the game.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
I also want to ask you about another coach that
you mentioned, because I am a big believer, having evolved
in representing players in the NFL for to over three decades,
that one of the most underappreciated important part of a
team and a player's career is their position coach. That's
the one you deal with more every day on a technique.
And and you mentioned coach Hurt and he hasn't really

(18:44):
necessarily probably gotten his just.

Speaker 5 (18:46):
Due yet from the fans here, but tell us about him.

Speaker 6 (18:49):
Yeah, I mean, I think that anytime you get a
coordinator as a position coach, the game just opens up.
And I think his ability to make us see one
or two things that allows us to play faster, quicker
and like take our opportunities. You know, I think he's
a he's a hell of a guy, and I don't know,
it's amazing to have that type of knowledge and a
position coach.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
All right, So yesterday we heard all the hype. We
built it all up, everybody in the media, all the fans.
The number one offense in the NFL against the number
one defense in the NFL. Lamar Jackson, the elusives, you know,
Scort the gel out of the bottle, can't catch him.
Derrick Henry King Henry the powerhouse running back, your expectations

(19:34):
going into the game, the game plan that was presented
to you, and the way you executed it.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
More.

Speaker 6 (19:39):
We'll kind of talk about all three of those things. Yeah, So,
I mean number one, I think Jay Hurt said something
and I think like perspective is key, right, and it's like, Okay,
we're playing a great team, but let's not forget that
we're a really good team as well, you know. So
I think that was one. And then number two, I
think you just assignment, sound detail oriented and like make

(20:02):
the least mistakes, right, And when you get to this
type of football, this level of football, these type of
big games, that's what you need from a defense. You know,
if VIC calls something, go out there and execute it
to the best of your ability. And I think that
ultimately propelled us to be the better team.

Speaker 7 (20:18):
Was lamar faster than you thought. I mean, there was
a play the I forget it was third It was
a great play you had. It was third down. I
think it was third down and you made the tackle.
He it was a quarterback draw. I think it was
a designer.

Speaker 6 (20:31):
I mean, I.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
Remember you played it just so perfectly and you tackle
him after maybe a two or three yard game. Did
you find Lamarty be like super ungodly fan like something.

Speaker 6 (20:41):
I mean, he has been the MVP the last two years,
you know. And I think that when you play talented
football players, I think there's an extra step in each
tackle that you have to make. And maybe that was
like a bit of an emphasis that Vic would that
was talking about, right, a player that maybe isn't as
hard to tackle, you don't need that extra step, but

(21:03):
that extra step really goes a long way, you know,
to not being joked.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
And Dave, I gotta believe, as you mentioned, you know
how good a player they're playing against at their quarterback
and in littlemore Jackson a great player, and in Hunbelieva
athlete talent, and I know we debate that, and of
course Derek Hanny one of the best running backs in
the league, but of course you're practicing against Jalen Hurts
and Saquon Barkley, and I got to say that anybody

(21:28):
you face, even if different athletes, is not going to
even be as close as or is as good as
what you face every day and what you see up close.

Speaker 6 (21:35):
Yeah, I mean I think that, you know, you alluded
to something earlier and you talked about the offseason acquisitions
and the rookies and all those things, and I mean,
props to Howard Roseman. Right at the end of the day,
I don't think that there's another roster close to ours
in the NFL. And you know what, Howie and his
team and they just they execute, you know, and they
find great players and they do a really really good job.

(21:59):
And yes, that that ultimately raises the level. Right there's
not another Lane Johnson in the league. You know, he's
the best right tackle I think that's ever played the game.
And you know, because of that, of course, it allows
us to play at such of a high level because
we've practiced such a high level.

Speaker 7 (22:19):
You know the reason, in my opinion, this is such
a great roster. Yes, there's a j Brown and DeVante
Smith and Saquan and all the stars, but then you
Darius Slay doesn't play in Isaiah Rodgers consent, it does
a great job. Red Blanket Ship goes out and Tristan
McCollum comes in and makes a big stop in a
near interception on fourth down. You know, there's all of

(22:41):
a sudden on Friday, there's no fullback Grant cal Kata
steps in and makes the block in an emergency situation
like Randy Grant goes down and Nolan Smith is crushing
it and jaylex Shun is playing great, and everybody on
the D line chipped in like that's why this roster
is so darn good because there's no like, there's there's
not this huge drop off that you get that you

(23:03):
see around the league when the non stars quote unquote
are playing.

Speaker 6 (23:08):
Do you feel that way, Yeah, I mean one hundred percent.
I think that we pride ourselves on not having a
drop off in the defensive line room. And I think that,
you know, it ultimately starts with leadership. And I mean,
I can't say enough about Brandon Graham as a human being,
and I think that he just he's still out there
with us, and his energy is still out there with us.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
Well, he looks like, appreciate him. I didn't mean to
cut you off him.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
He looks like he's coaching now that transition and we
still had a present story yesterday's game, and Zach Bahm
was here with us last week and he gave There's
there's a lot that's been said about Brandon Graham. To me,
he's just was genuinely positive person I've ever met or
been around. It for you guys as as young players
and mean teammates, has to be crazy good to be
around that guy. And even he suffers this injury that

(23:54):
could be creenting or might bring him back for another
year either way as significant injury, and he doesn't miss
a beat in his positivity. But I just the common
the Zach said about him, because I can't give him
enough props, and that is Brandon, is that he is
the best teammate he ever had, which to me was
actually the best confident I've ever heard given anybody.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
Yeah. No, I mean, mister Laurie was talking about something
the other day and he said that, you know, championship
teams generally have energy givers, and he's the epitome of
an energy giff, you know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (24:30):
He is the epitome of a Philadelphia Eagle, and he
is so relentlessly upbeat it no matter what you do
within the organization, he makes you feel like you're special.
And I'm sure that that's the way it is as
the football player in the locker room, and that is
a special gift that very few people have.

Speaker 5 (24:51):
So listen, We've only just begun here. We're a Chicks
and Pizza Morales in New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Still time to come out and join us with Moro Joemo,

Speaker 7 (26:08):
This is grad Leve when people come out, Come on, Gerald,
let's do this thing.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Welcome back to the All Pro Philly Players Show. Live
from Chicken and Pizza, Marlton, New Jersey. We have a
great line here for our guests tomorrow. It actually it's
not that hard that just Dave makes me nervous. I'm
Gerald with Eagles inside our Dave's bair. We are here
with a young rising star for the Philolpha Eagles, number

(26:34):
ninety seven morerow Joemo and how am I getting better?

Speaker 6 (26:38):
All right?

Speaker 3 (26:39):
And we are ticketing pizza every Monday, and and we've
turned them fortually all into victory Mondays lately. Yeah, we
hope that trend continues. We've got Carolinea coming up this Sunday.
A rare game, it seems. Dave at Lincoln Financial fear
at one o'clock. We had so few home games. It's
only our I guess our second Sunday home.

Speaker 6 (26:56):
One o'clock o'clock came out.

Speaker 7 (26:58):
It just do game Timesmorrow. Do you care at all
if you have a preference.

Speaker 6 (27:02):
I think four pm is nice. Yeah, one can be
a bit early. Eight is a little late, but four
pm is like perfect.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
You know what's funny about that? As a tailgate? You know,
because Dave's never been to a tailgate.

Speaker 6 (27:14):
All right, I've worked for the Eagles for over thirty years.

Speaker 7 (27:16):
I've met my family didn't have enough money to go
to Eagles games when I was a kid. So as
soon as I got out of college, I started working
with the Eagles.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
So and he's so Sunday's workday, just like it is
for you for the rest of us. We're hanging out,
party and they go. So I find four o'clock to
be the perfect time. Also from the fans standpoint, one
o'clock is actually very early, but those Eagles fans start
drinking early even though it's at one o'clock.

Speaker 7 (27:37):
What time will you get to a game four o'clock game?
What time will you get there for a tailgate?

Speaker 3 (27:41):
I won't get there probably till around ten eleven. But
but just hang on and hang on a second, because
I also like to watch the one o'clocks.

Speaker 6 (27:48):
So I'll get in a spot where I can still
watch the over for four o'clock four o'clock.

Speaker 5 (27:53):
Like ten and eleven, because I still want to watch
the one o'clock.

Speaker 3 (27:55):
So I'll give me a couple of hours and then
I'll be in either you know, one of the just
one of the little stablished around the stadium watch however,
I was. I was once told by the guys who
work at the parking lots that for one o'clock games,
the fans start arriving at six am. For four o'clock games,
they start arriving at six am. For eight o'clock games,
they started arriving at six am.

Speaker 6 (28:15):
Me. It's just longer time to drink.

Speaker 5 (28:18):
That's why the night games get a little bit, a
little bit crazy.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
But I will I will get there pretty early and
enjoy a nice you know, for Sunday one o'clock, it's
like breakfast at the Link.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Mar.

Speaker 7 (28:28):
How have you found the Philadelphia sports culture to be
and how have you found specifically the Philadelphia Eagles sports
culture to be and what is it like for you
among the public.

Speaker 6 (28:39):
Yeah, I think it's really cool. I love how passionate
they are about their sports. I love that the Eagles
are something that's important. I love that they embody the Eagles,
And I think it's really cool because it allows us
to go out there and play and you know, at
the end of the day, like it's so fun playing
in front of fans, and they help us with that

(29:00):
energy and we feed off of them in your private life.
Is it.

Speaker 7 (29:05):
Cumbersome? Is it inviting, is it flattering? Is it difficult?
I think it's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (29:11):
And you know, I think they're they're rather respectful, and
I don't know, I mean, it's been cool and I've
had nothing but great in their actions and.

Speaker 7 (29:19):
During it during the two seasons where it's been like
you know, coming off the Super Bowl last year ten
and one, then six losses in seven games, so there's
a good and then they're not so good late in
the season where fans can definitely show their emotions.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
Yeah, but you never noticed that, hut, No, I mean
i'd say that, you know, I mean last year was
in last year's in the past, but it was still
not a terrible season, right, and you know, having a
great season as well. Now, So like my first two
years in the NFL. I mean it's a lot better
than a lot of people's first two years.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
But you have an interesting, you know, college history and
background because you played at a very big program.

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Yeah, and you know you're your Longhorn Texas.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
First of all, how did you pick Texas amongst all
the other schools that were coming after you?

Speaker 6 (30:06):
Yeah, I mean I think it was kind of a
family decision, you know, kind of just prayed and kind
of felt like that was where Dodd wanted me to go.
And you know, it was a great decision. I think
when you look at one of the most important things,
right when you pick a college you want to play
big time football. Texas got that. You want a great education,
Texas has got that great place to live, great alumni place.

(30:26):
Like there's literally nothing, you know, Texas doesn't offer.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
And did it all live up to that great and
and I'm just curious because college football has changed drastically
in the last few years. Yeah, and we're in the
nil world right now, Texas. Of course, it's actually probably
good for Texas, har because.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
You've got all the money.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
You know, no question, but this past weekend and you
were probably focused on your your task, get hitting and
playing the Baltimore Ravens. But you've got places like Ohio
State played Michigan when these long standing Roberts where Texas
has several of them, and they're trying to put the flag.
Michigan wins on their field tries put the flag. What
is going on? Why is everyone so out of control
right now in the college game?

Speaker 6 (31:05):
I don't know. I think you so we always say
this thing, you've got like a copycat league and reference
and like say one offense is doing something really well,
everyone's going to try to copy that. And I think
that's what's going on in college. They're seeing these other
guys go viraller. It creates this kind of just attention, right,

(31:27):
and everyone else wants attention. So I think everyone's trying
to do that. Okay, well, you know not for Jason Vavon.

Speaker 7 (31:33):
Jason Levon is is like his legendary status has only
grown at Michigan. Former ego wide receiver who's the sideline
reporter at Michigan, who saw that Ohio State was abusing
the Michigan flag. He went out and rescued the flag,
and Michigan like is so in love with Jason von
He got like jostled by all the players and the fans, and.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
Did he get Pepper sprayed?

Speaker 7 (31:56):
No, he did not get Pepper sprayed. So is Texas
and them the Longhorns big rival.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
Even if they haven't played him for a while, that
it's funny enough. Sark actually stopped the team from putting
the flag in the middle because I think he's seen
all the crap that's going on. And I mean, if
I was a coach, I would be against bullet bulletin
board material for the other team, which is why I
think Sark is like, let's go.

Speaker 7 (32:26):
Is there more trash talking in the locker room? With
college football and the rivalries and the schools?

Speaker 6 (32:36):
Does it get intense? Like it all?

Speaker 7 (32:37):
I mean, I know it's all fun, but like all
the Georgia guys think that they're gonna whoop up on you.
Alabama's back in the picture now, I don't even know
who's in there. Who else is Like what kind of
as the Texas guy, what kind of pressure.

Speaker 6 (32:49):
Do you feel in the locker room? I mean, we
got Georgia coming up, and I need my Longhorns to
show up. Yeah. Man, that's a big guy.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
That's a rivalry in that lockerow.

Speaker 6 (32:58):
Now up, you feel good about it? I do feel
good about it. I think that you know, last time
Georgia had some crazy defensive blitzes and they just had
a really good defense going on.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
But if those guys are all on your team now, yeah.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
And you know, I think that they've lurked from that
and we have a really good offensive line. You know,
two guys that might go in the first round. So
I'm really excited, mora.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
What was the recruiting process, like, what was the college
experience like from just not you talk about.

Speaker 6 (33:28):
You know, everything worked out really well, but was nil not?
Did it just start last year.

Speaker 3 (33:33):
In the last couple but after he was already at
the how do you feel out before?

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Not before?

Speaker 3 (33:38):
By the way, Archie Manning chose his school, but he
was able to enjoy an al.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
I mean, these kids are literally getting paid millions of
dollars and do you feel like they're that's appropriate?

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (33:51):
I mean, so a couple of things, right you think
about if you look at the Texas versus Texas A
and M gain. I don't know what the average checker
price was, but just cut that in half and multiply
that times one hundred thousand. I think that's what fifty
million dollars, right, like it ticket sales alone, Yeah, ticket
sales alone, right. The TV money is way way to

(34:12):
do the money you have all these things. Like, I
think players deserve to get paid, and it's probably hard,
you know, being at a young age, but I think
that it exposes them to the money. And you know,
at the end of the day, people have to do
football for the love of the game. Can't just be
love of money, and it's going to expose that. Earlier on,
my wife corrected me. The Texas rivalry is Oklahoma. Is

(34:35):
that still the case? Yeah, shoot, Alklahoma, that's I mean,
that's there's nothing like it. It's uh, split down the middle.
You know. I remember coming out of the I don't
even know what you call it, but coming on onto
the field and you're hearing like the booze and just
like the crazy words and everything, and then you hit
the fifty and it's like that, it's really cool.

Speaker 3 (34:57):
Well, the big difference of Chris Dave is in fact
that Texas is now in the which builds all sorts
of new rivalries. Yeah, as opposed to the Big Twelve's
Oklahoma also, but they've moved over because we've had to
change your conference line.

Speaker 5 (35:10):
And by the way, I want to come back to
some of what we're talking about right now.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
But since you mentioned the crowd when you came out,
Baltimore is about an hour and a half drive without
traffic from Philadelphia, and that crowd on TV as usual,
sounded like there was an awful lot of Birds fans.

Speaker 6 (35:25):
Uh huh, yeah, No, I mean the Birds travel well,
you know in Baltimore and then in LA, like it's
been really cool. We LA was almost a home game
for us.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
That's what it sounded like on TV.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Dave's there, of course, Dave, I want to bring up
something from yesterday's game that's that's personal to me, and
that is I represented a guy named William Gay and
about ten years ago, the NFL had, of course, they
October Exprest Cancer wearing this month the Great cause, and
everybody was wearing or pink cleats and my clients and
it's not to anyway just diminish the importance of that cause.

(35:57):
But his personal clause because of his white is his
mother suffering being murdered at the hands of domestic violence.
Domestic violence was very personal to him and spraying the
word about and educating people and preventing it. So he
wore purple cleats when you're supposed to wear pink cleats,
and he got one.

Speaker 5 (36:14):
Of those fine layers.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
I don't know if you've gotten him, but on Wednesday
walks in and got fined five thousand dollars by the NFL.
This goes back about a decade and I went to
the hearing with him. It was done by teleconference, but
the hearing where I really protest. I said, well, look,
this is a very personal.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
Cause to him.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
And that's when my cause my cleats started because they
recognized that, listen, this is our league's cause. But each
one of these guys has causes that may be personal
to them. And that allowed yesterday where so did you
have a personal cause on your feet?

Speaker 6 (36:42):
Yeah, oh my dead. My dear friend of mine started
a foundation. It's called the Testicular Cancer Foundation, you know,
And yeah, I just I wanted to represent him and
he does a lot for me, and he's just one
of the most thoughtful in giving people that I know.
I thought it would be pretty.

Speaker 7 (37:01):
Cool, and I love the fact that players are taking
their platforms seriously. It is a powerful platform. And the
world notices it. And do you feel that you're getting noticed?
Moro that look, I mean the drawback that the NFL players,
that football players have in the world of marketing themselves
in their brand is that you wear a helmet and

(37:22):
there's other ways to enhance and build your brandy. And
I know that you're a You're a deep. I saw
your feature on Fox TV here in Philadelphia the other day.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
You're a deep.

Speaker 7 (37:32):
You're very, very invested in the world of business, and
it's it's a great passion of yours. Do you is
this important to you to build your brand as you
build your wealth?

Speaker 6 (37:43):
I think most the most important thing to me is
pouring back out. I feel like I've been poured into,
you know, and the little tidbits here and there, like
I mean, at the end of the day, all glory
to God. And basically, you know, whether it's some of
the things that my dad tells me, or some of
the things I live by, or the way I go

(38:04):
by my life and the influences around me. I'm only
successful because of everyone that's been around me, and the
weight room coaches, the position coaches, the people that work
with me. None of it is me So now what
I'm trying to do, whether it be branding, whether it's
any interview, like I want to give that to somebody else.
I want to inspire a young kid to believe himself.

Speaker 7 (38:23):
And I will back up Mora on that we talked
earlier in the year, and you gave credit to matt Leo,
Patrick McDowell, to people who with the Eagles.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
Are in the background player development.

Speaker 7 (38:35):
They've worked with you in a variety of ways, I imagine,
and I sent those quotes to them and they were
very touched by that because not a lot of players,
you know, take the time to credit those around them
for their success. Yeah, which goes back to the idea
that football is the ultimate team game. You don't win

(38:56):
unless you have a team, and you don't have success
as a player unless you have a great group of
people around you. So let's talk about your development here
college to the NFL.

Speaker 6 (39:06):
Now to year two, seventh round draft pick.

Speaker 7 (39:08):
Yeah, how did it feel that weekend to get your
name called, to get.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
The phone call to be selected.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
And that's a long weekend when you wait till the
seventh round, I'm.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Sure, so, yeah, you know, I think it was a
little bit challenging, but at the end of the day,
God has a plan and I'm on one of the
cool I think I'm the coolest team in the NFL
with an amazing roster. To be around a guy like
Brandon Graham, to be around a guy like Fletcher Cox
last year, you know, Josh Sweat, right, be on a

(39:39):
team that's so good at winning, culture, a locker room
that is just a positive, great locker room, right. You know,
I did not know what I was getting into, and
you know I couldn't have been picked by a better organization.

Speaker 7 (39:55):
Was it challenging to you last year to kind of
learn your way?

Speaker 6 (40:00):
Are you a patient guy? I think I think it
is always challenging, but I think everything everything is perspective, right,
and you know, it's just always taking it a day
at a time and being very much in the moment.
And that was That's my perspective then, and that's what
I'm doing now.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
Well, it's interesting, Dave, as you asked that question and
you took me in a different direction because I want
to follow that up. When your seventh round pick, there's
actually no guarantee you make the team, and I'm sure
you knew that, and so if the first goal I'm
sure is to make the team, and then it grows
from there to be to get on the field and
be a part of the team. So to me, your
career is following in perfect progression as you play more

(40:40):
and more a role in this defense.

Speaker 6 (40:41):
Yeah. No, I mean one hundred percent. And like I said,
you know, my first day of during training camp, Patrick,
this freaking Patrick Madowis is this guy I don't know,
comes and just starts talking to me, showing me film,
giving me this tips. And you know, I attribute so
much of my NFL development.

Speaker 7 (41:02):
So Patrick Patrick is a guy who was in the
strength and conditioning, player development, player performance department. Now he's
working with Connor Barwin and that group up in the
player development portion helping players on and off the field.

Speaker 6 (41:18):
I mean, there's there's a great group of support people
with the Eagles.

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Well I got to say, you know, because you've been
part of the Eagles organization since the Leather Helmet Day
about thirty years ago, and which is but it's really
it's really incredible to be there that long and you've
seen so many different coaches and general managers and probably
I mean certainly hundreds is not a thousand players walk
through the door. But the Eagles have built a culture

(41:41):
and an organization that has so much depth to not
just the players, the entire organization in itself, and it's
great to be a Philadelphiago.

Speaker 6 (41:48):
Starts with Jeffrey. I mean, it all comes down from that.

Speaker 7 (41:51):
Jeffrey gives the team in every way, whether you're a player,
or you're in marketing or your event, you're in content,
whatever it is, to be great. And his record speaks
for itself.

Speaker 6 (42:03):
We have been right there.

Speaker 7 (42:05):
We've won one Super Bowl, we've been in three since
he's owned the team.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
And let's keep our fingers crossed in the future. And
Dave I deal with pretty much every team in the league.
You see, the success comes from the great organizations.

Speaker 6 (42:18):
Yeah, I mean, there's just.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
No question about it. And it also does start with
the owner. And we're very fortunate here and he signs
your paycheck. But you're not just saying it.

Speaker 6 (42:27):
Because yeah, I mean I think you think look at
any organization, right, it's always from the top down, right,
And you know, we're fortunate to have him steering the
sheet ship ship and leaving away. You know, it's really cool, all.

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Right, Listen, we gotta take our last break. We'll come back.
We're Chickens and pezz in Marlton, New Jersey. We have
had a great time already with Moro at Jomo, and
we will come back and finish it. Dave Spadero, Gerald
Calton on Fox Sports The Gambler, Welcome back to Chicken

(43:12):
and Pizza in the All Pro Philly Player Show. We're
here in Marlton every Monday night, myself Eagles insider Daves Madero,
and we've been very fortunate to have a special guest
from the Eagles every week and we will continue to
do so. Next week we are supposed to have you
know what, I don't want to say, another very special
guest as we do this week with young defensive lineman

(43:34):
marl Ajomo of the Yeah, he's making he's making a
face man.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
Ever know he pronounced it this time.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Like a native Nigeria. I would love to see that
country though, I really would. And and I mentioned my
father earlier. His doctor was her name is a long name,
so she always told me to call.

Speaker 6 (43:55):
Her doctor you.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
But I'm very very grateful to her comfort she.

Speaker 6 (43:57):
Gave my dad at the end.

Speaker 3 (43:58):
But anyway, Uh, we've had a great hour with you
so far, and we're winding down. But I was curious
about something because if I'm not mistaken, weren't you wearing
number seventy two last year now you're wearing number ninety seven.

Speaker 6 (44:09):
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (44:12):
I was curious about that stuff.

Speaker 6 (44:13):
It wasn't I don't think there was anything there was
anything big into it. I just kind of wanted a
number change.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
It looks good on you. I appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (44:21):
Morrow, What is the key? What is life like in
the trenches? Four of those who you know don't understand?
How fast is it? How physical is it? How do
you win?

Speaker 6 (44:29):
And you know what?

Speaker 3 (44:30):
I want to interject before you answer the question because
it's a great question. I've been told by coaches over
the years they kind of want nasty people. It's defensive lineman,
and we've been spending an hour with you, and you
are so not a nasty person. But that doesn't mean
when you cross those lines that you're not an asty person.

Speaker 5 (44:43):
So I'd love to hear your answer to Dave's question.

Speaker 6 (44:46):
I made one hundred. Last year, we had Tracy Rocker
as a defensive line coach, and one of the things
that he taught and impacted on me. Is like it's violence,
you know what I mean. I think that, you know,
people get upset with the new rules and all these things,
because at the end of the day, football is a
violent sport and it's a nasty It's a nasty sport,
you know what I mean. And you know we talk

(45:07):
about being physically tough, right, that that requires violence, that
requires a little bit of nastiness to your play, right,
And yeah, the trenches are quick, it's physical, it's it's impact,
it's uh, it's it's craziness. But you know, it's it's
beauty and madness.

Speaker 7 (45:28):
As the season has progressed, are Look, everybody's scouting you, right,
everybody's got a game plan against you. Have you noticed
the game plan changing against you as they've seen you
have success winning off the ball and using your hands
and in pass rust situations you're dominating.

Speaker 6 (45:46):
Yeah, I think that I had to. I'm having to
change my play a little bit in the sense of
I think teams started jumping me in offensive linemen started
jumping me, right, And we talk about the quickness, and
I think I'm someone that's like very fast and very explosive.
So how do you kind of counteract that you try
to slow someone down, right, And you know, at the

(46:08):
end of the day, like every team is a billion
dollar organization, right, so much goes into the preparation, and
so much goes into Think about a number of billion
dollar companies competing to the best company every year. That's
what the NFL is, right.

Speaker 3 (46:22):
And it's amazing also, and what you just touched on
that people maybe don't completely appreciate from the as site
is what great athletes alignemen are on both sides of
the ball in the NFL.

Speaker 5 (46:34):
And I watch you and you.

Speaker 6 (46:36):
Are quick, I mean, and you move unbelievably.

Speaker 3 (46:39):
For your size. But that's what you're going up against
and that's that's what's necessary. But I really have a
question about one of your teammates because I think there's
been an emergence on the Eagles this year on the
defensive line of a young guy that you play with
that is really moving into what will be an elite status.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
And I want you to talk about your teammate Jalen Yeah,
I mean Jalen quarter Is and you know the way
that he plays the game, he plays it with such
a nasty, such violence, and you know, I pick up
so much from Jalen And you know, like I said earlier,
we've got this young defensive line that just loves being

(47:14):
around each other and it's so great, you know, to
grow with those guys and you know you always think of, oh,
leadership roles whatever, but we've all like taken it on
together and it's been great for us.

Speaker 7 (47:27):
When you start second year and you're playing against offensive
linemen have been in the league for seven, eight, nine,
ten years, how how nuanced is their skill level as
it kind of equates to their knowledge of the game
and the little tricks of the trade is is that
what is so difficult for defensive linemen to overcome these

(47:48):
guys who have been in the league for ten years
and they know how to hold you so that the
rests because they're holding you every single play, Yeah, so
that the rest are aren't throwing the flag.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (47:58):
I think that. You know, it's just it's all about
being an efficient mover. And you know, some of the
best players are just the players that don't move efficiently, right,
And it's all in those details. And you know, I
think Lane Johnson is an incredible example of that. I
think Landon Dickerson is the most efficient mover I've ever
been around. And you know, yeah, I would agree with

(48:20):
that point one hundred percent. So if it's if.

Speaker 7 (48:23):
It's violence and tenacity, can you develop.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
That or do you have to be to be great
inherently violent and tenacious at this level? I think I
think both. You know, I think that you've got to
tap into that and you just have to understand that
like that is what was required I think to play
at a high level, specifically defensive line, and it's something

(48:48):
that you can grow in.

Speaker 3 (48:49):
As we wind down, Sour and we appreciate you spend
this time with us so much. One of the things
that has struck me is how all the pieces of
this this team are coming to get there's so well
and building on it every week. And there's almost a
pattern to it now to me in that and David
and I talked about this last week about.

Speaker 5 (49:07):
You know what this team is building.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Your defense just gets better and better to where it's
a really an elite status.

Speaker 6 (49:12):
And that's what it feels like watching it.

Speaker 3 (49:14):
You have an incredible offensive line, you have this unbelievable
running back, and then some other pieces. I mean, it's
just it's it looks like there is no real weakness
to it, and there's so much depth and camaraderie. But
watching the games, and so I'm curious about your internal feeling.
You were down nine nothing as the first quarter wound
down and over, and I felt so good about your

(49:34):
chances to win the game then, because it's almost your
defense has kept is going to keep this team in
the game, and at some point Saquon Barkley's going to
break off a long run.

Speaker 5 (49:43):
And it's just all the pieces are there that is
to make a team a real winner.

Speaker 3 (49:47):
And I've watched football a long time and you sound
like a historian, knowing a whole lot about you know,
as you mentioned, and it might have been on the
break weed of it. Your favorite players are Reggie White
and Jome Brown, Like, wait a second, he weren't even
born yet. But you're a historian and appreciate the history
of the sport. But this team is special and the
way to win, to me has always been great defensive
offensive line and then that piece like a Seaquon Barkley.

Speaker 5 (50:10):
So now when you're.

Speaker 3 (50:12):
Going along and down nine nothing, there's no sense of panic,
there's no sense of that anything other than.

Speaker 5 (50:17):
The fill your game right.

Speaker 6 (50:18):
Yeah, I would say that this game really showed me
our growth as a team since Tampa, because it reminded
the beginning of the game reminded me a lot of Tampa. Right.
Their offense started out hot, and you know, the game
didn't go the way that we wanted. But in this game,
we just kind of responded, you know, and we were like,
you know, we're still in this and we just kept

(50:40):
went out there and kept playing. Everyone was calm, you know,
and then the offense they broke the game open. Marrow.

Speaker 7 (50:46):
We are near the twenty four hour mark after the
game ended. So have you processed the victory? Are you
now onto the Carolina Panthers? At what point for you
did the celebration end?

Speaker 6 (51:00):
Yeah, I'd say we wait when we finished meetings on
Monday at three pm. You know, it's time to go
on to the Knights, and you know we want to
do special things.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
You know.

Speaker 6 (51:10):
Was it super cool to go play a really good
team and a hard environment to win. I mean yes,
but you know life is always in the moment. In
the moment now is the Carolina Panthers.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
And I guess the key, Dave, you even said this
last week, this team is now tending to You've won
eight straight games, getting better seemingly every week, but still
not where you want to be. And you've got to
just take it one at a time because we still
have two months to go, at least two plus months
before they attain their goal.

Speaker 7 (51:39):
Things happen. Man, this team has accomplished nothing. Yeah has
he even has he even clished the playoffs?

Speaker 3 (51:44):
That's coach speak he's given, but it's true.

Speaker 6 (51:47):
And that's that's the mentality you have to have if
you want to do cool things.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
It's a shame that you can enjoy a little bit
more as you go along.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
But you got you got a bigger Personry Listen, we
are going to let you go, but I can't tell
you how much I appreciate you, and I appreciate both
