You don't need to see that show though.
Yeah, yeah, you do get loud. Now we're gonna get loud.
Yeah, so that's you, James, Yeah, me and are you.
Hear my producing over there? That's all live?
Tell you got anything going on?
I ain't got nothing going on? All right now, I'm here up.
We're doing this, all right, So let's go around the room, around the locker room. Let's go. Let's do it.
Fred's favorite position, and that's the defensive backs, right.
Best players in the room, But what best players on the team.
I don't know if that's true.
All right, let's just be there us a while. The position of defensive back.
We have the hardest job in football besides the quarterback. We have to do with the best athletes in the world, the top one percent going forward, we have to do going backwards with the whole world against you. I an era everywhere.
Yeah, I'm just saying defensive backs say I can say one of the toughest positions on a field. I told y'all played I grew up playing defensive back, and that's one of my reasons of That's one of them that I say.
Man, you know what I like.
I like to hear the fans cheering for me and not booing me for getting beat deep, y know, pray you know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, listen, it's a hard job. That's why y'all gonna ask the question. The first question gonna come at your mouth. It's about Marshawn ladim one, right, because y'all feel like he left a bad taste in your mouth. But if I told you in the middle of the year, somebody moved your job to a new team with new plays and new teammates, new locker room, new house, new everything, it takes a little adjustment period.
We're gonna get.
The best Marshawn Lattimore this year.
I don't think you even have to worry about it.
I think you will, and I don't think you even have to, you know, go that far with explain that to them, because you just stated it's one of the toughest jobs on the field. But also that's why you guys get paid the big bucks. You know, I talk about the time and time again bucks.
Yeah, they got me. I always talked about with Fred.
We're just watching him, you know in games, might give up a catch, might not, but it was always the same energy, you.
See what I'm saying.
So it's a tough job.
So just looking back at Lattimore coming in, you know, he had the injury when he first got here, he dealt with it, got back, you know, speed of recovery.
Got nicked a little bit again.
And so to me, that's behind the eight ball twice in your new home. That's the first thing we say we don't want to do when we go somewhere new. We want to get there and make sure we show them what are worth is, you know. So I'm looking forward to just seeing the guy because I think you have a guy. What he's only twenty nine years old, what, four time Pro Bowl, Yes, and he's on the defense that he now gets to learn this whole entire offense. I mean this off season, and I think Joe Junior man what he's shown last year, just with that defense, with those guys in the secondary, he know how to put him in a right position for them to be successful. So I can't wait to see this Marshawn Adam off this year because I know he's gonna be ready to go.
I think he's gonna get back to for him too, So there's no reason to be concerned.
I don't think there's no reason to be concerned.
There was so many variables and why people feel like and then as a corner, he Fred tell me.
This, how hard is it to learn a new defense for a defensive back? Because you went from obviously Washington, you went to Minnesota. How was that transition for you going from a predominantly man scheme to to.
It's hard for you because now you have to you got to change your train of thought. And also it ain't really like our teams play cover one. Our teams play cover four, Cover two, some form of cover all three. But I need to learn the defensive coordinator. I need to know what he liked to call in crunch time.
How he does it right?
Yeah, I need to learn his style. I need to learn what he wants me to do on third and loans. I need to know do he like to bring the pressure on third and short? Do he like me to play press?
Man?
I was man like, what can I do inside of his defense?
It takes it takes quarters to learn that.
Yeah, and then Tanne, you talked to you.
I mean you talked about your injury earlier in your career all the time, talk about navigating that coming back and again because Marshawn's kind of going through something similar, right, Yeah, new environment, that's what you did coming out of Miami going to the Jets, Like, what was that like? And how do you think Marshawn's handling that now?
So for one thing, being a pro, you get a chance to learn how to be a pro, and that's one of them, you know. I think I learned it out the gate as a young pup. I got into New York first round drift pick and out the gate. Within the fifth or six practice, I tear my knee. And I never had that kind of an injury even coming into the league, So I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know how to treat myself know how I had to get myself back on the field. You look at a guy like Lon Shawn, I mean, Marshawn Lottimore. Yeah, he's a professional, he'd been here, done that. But I think one of the things that we failed to realize is him getting traded to us. He don't have the same people to care for his body that he where he came from. So you have to get accustomed to the area and knowing who's the chipractice, who the massus. You know, who's all these doctors to all these special people that you had in your life in New Orleans that you're gonna go now have to navigate and get here, So that's.
What I say, and beild trust with those people.
So I think over time you get a chance to see that and you get a chance to get familiar with those folks. I got here in O five when I got traded, and immediately I had guys like Sean Springs that told me.
Hey, try my guy.
I tried this guy one night and knew I was hooked, and so from there it was a matchmade in heaven. He took care of me for the rest of my teen years here. So I think It's all he has to do is get accustomed to the area, know who's who, and then once he finds out that man, he's gonna be.
Off and running.
Obviously, you know, Marshawn is like the veteran. He kind of feels like a little bit of a lynchpin for the group. But I can't remember covering a team or playing for a team that had so many talented young defensive players, right, Mike Sanders, So you got Tremos, you got Kawan Martin, Right, I think we forget about him playing safety.
How good of a year he had last year?
Yeah, I don't know, man, that's again everyone gets excited about Marshawn lantmore. I get really excited for what those guys did last year.
Most definitely like you got a growing group.
You got one guy, Mikey sender Steel, who I thought he really picked up where he left off their college.
I mean just, I mean honestly, like totally subverted expectation. Everyon thought he's gonna play nickel nor outside.
Where do you need me to play it? That's what Mikey Sandra's still gonna do. Do you need me to tackle? That's what Michael Sander's still gonna do you need me to cover the best received on somebody team. That's what he's capable of doing. And he hasn't even peaked yet. That's the scary thing about Michael Sander Steel. We haven't seen his best hit. His best is yet to come. And I think all of these guys best is yet to come because we as good as they.
Were last year.
I know people won't talk about the defense being up and down. It was their first year in Coach WIT's defense, Like, so whatever they learned last year, now the learning is almost through. Now they're just gonna play, and they're gonna play fast, and we're gonna give a guy like Trey Amis he you draft somebody highlight.
That usually they forced to play right off the back.
He won't be forced to just get through in that fire like that play right away.
I think he will.
But what I'm saying is when when three cornerbacks is out there, of course he'll be out there, but he won't be part of the first two. All I'm saying is they won't lean on him like they wheel o the second rounders on here. Think about Will Johnson going to the Cardinals, he automatically their number one corner, Like he don't have to worry about trying to come take a number one out when we got Latimer and Sandwich Steel to do that.
Speaking of Santa Still, and you know, we talked about this a little briefly when we mentioned Jayden name.
He's gonna be coming into his sophomore season two.
What would be something that Joe Witt and his defensive schemes be able to do to set it up to make sure that we're not worrying about him having one of those those down years coming into the second year of his professional career.
Well, I think he just gonna.
Look at way, did you ever software something?
No? Actually that's interception.
So you played, So what did you do? What did you do?
Not? The one thing that what Sam's still gonna have over with me is he gonna be playing in the same defense. I changed defense. I heard coach change, our defensive coordinator change. He's gonna have a vantage to to pick up where they left off last year.
He's only gonna put the icing on the cake.
Now the foundation is there, and what they're gonna do is he's gonna coach, We're gonna take all his good plays and all his bad plays, and he's gonna try his best. Never put him into those bad situations again. If not put him in those situations, teach him how to navigate those situations and get better.
So the thing I'm thinking about, Senna say, you know, just coming into this second year, what I'm more impressed with just how much we got better around him. Yeah, you see what I'm saying up front defensively, You know, we talked about this all the time again, and people fail to realize, like, as a cornerback, you're not solely necessarily have to worry about this. Being a guy that's covering. You want to make sure the guy's up front, it's getting out of that quarterback. Yeah, they won't be covering so long. So when you getting better defensively.
Up front, yeah, you're getting better in the.
Back, getting out to the quarterback, being able to stop the run. That makes those guys in the secondary that much better too. So I'm looking forward just to see some of those new guys that we have come in. How much do they contribute to our success in the secondary By getting out to the quarterback, the rush in the coverage has to be married.
Go ahead, they have to be married.
Like in order for them to get sex, we gotta cover in order for us to get picked. They got to make sure the quarterback is uncomfortable. Comfortable quarterbacks complete passes, Uncomfortable quarterbacks make mistakes.
Well, let's talk about the defensive line real quick, because again, I think we're all excited about the young players in the secondary. I'm excited to see what Trey Amos says. Mikey Sanders still like he had such a special rookie year, Marinder raiding, and I love that you guys run up the defensive line because I think people look at the free agent acquisitions and are kind of like, there's nobody there that gets you really excited. Right, there's no elite edge rusher, there's nobody. There's no von Miller, there's no name in that group. But Fred, you said something when you were kind of ranting over there, talking like you talk right like that. I think the summer the parts for this defensive line is better. I think they're gonna be better on first and second down, and I think that's gonna make them better on third down because they've got to deal with third long situations, which is gonna help the secondary buck.
Let's talk about some of those guys.
Yeah, and maybe the lack of sack production on paper and where you think they're gonna end up.
Well, I just watched the Philadelphia Eagles Nemesis go win the Super Bowl. They had nobody over seven to eight six, right, So they rushed as a group. And when you rush as a group, that means you're gonna win as a group. Alright, So this is what it is. Everybody wants to talk about edge, edge, edge, name me the last edge besides Von Miller, A Lawrence Taylor.
Dude, you're freaking out. This is this is a whack no, no, you know.
This is I feel like the shortest way to the quarterback is through the interior. Chris Chones his interior dominator. They got Big Carter at Philadelphia. He's interior dominator. If you push the pocket from the interior, quarterbacks get off of they.
Mark and they start to make plays.
And that's why I say, everybody want to talk about the head, stop talking about it.
So you don't you don't wan to talk about Miles Garrett, You don want to talk about tr hendersonout.
Garrett won a playoff game.
He's not a bad football team.
T J Watt has t J Watt won a playoff game playoff one. Yeah, so all the best edges in the NFL are not winning playoff games.
So I take the interior.
So coming into this, coming into this what ota period right now, and knowing that it's still some defensive ends out there that we could potentially go out there, do you feel like it's best that we sit where we at because we have enough.
Guys out there, and we have guys.
That's young that hasn't really you know what I mean, got the or do you think we should go out there?
And you know, you know, you know how you said.
You didn't go out to them, right, Yeah, you had to roll the dice sometimes.
But this is what I'm saying. How you know Geen Beptist ain't took another step?
You know, like this would always tell people, we get so excited about this year's dram that you forget about last year's dreim Like some those guys are still maturing.
Luke McCaffrey still maturing.
You don't know, he might take a big step next year, like being seen it might take a big step next year. So sometimes you go out looking for stuff when it's right in your house. That's that's what my ex wife told me, and that how she became my ex wife.
Listen, that.
Pressure right sack production. One thing that sticks out to me is if you can get it an aggregate right like Dietrich White has five sacks, Yes, stellen Hall has three sacks, doth Frank Yeah, you're gonna be doing all right.
So I think that's what I look at.
Then you can't zero in on where the pressure is coming from. It allows my defensive coordinator to dial up more exided Listen, Like, one thing I think we can get ready to see is Frankie louv past rushing more. I think Frankie louver is gonna take on up a Michael Parses type style in this defense.
I look for him to have.
His hand coming off their edge more than he did last year.
Yeah.
One of the things too that stood out to me last year, you know, we was you know how you see certain teams have that one guy that has all the sacks. I love the fact that we had so many guys that contributed in that area, you know what I mean. That came in especially in one of the guys that we're gonna miss who went back to the Cowboys up I don't want to say his name no more because he's not on our team. I mean, we're gonna miss him, but that just opened that door for other guys to step in and fill that void.
And I think the one thing about Filer though, for as much as he gave us with the pass rush, he lecked in the run support.
See, this is what we're talking about on first down.
If we can make first down be a short down, now we ain't gonna get the third and short. Our problem last year with people was getting five yards on first down. Now we have to play safe on second down. Now they at thirty one. Now with these big boys up front, that allows us to get into third and loan and this is when we go make plays.
Yeah, And I think about that, like, even if you're not a good pass rushing group, just statistically, if you get into more third longs, you have more pure pass rushing opportunities than you have more puer coverage opportunities to get the ball turned over. So even even bad pass rushers, when you know it's a passing down, you can rush way more efficient. That's something I think people sleep on quite a bit, so again, I think I'm probably more bullish on that group than a lot of people. And we haven't even talked about the interior players yet. Playing Jason Newton, Ken Laws the addition there that JEW group feels like it's got some juice. What's the expectation for the defensive tackles in twenty twenty five.
Well, I think it's biggest spec tation because I think they want to wake paying back up.
I think you need paying a hell one of those.
Years he had two years and not that he had a bad years, a great run.
We're talking about the past.
The pass Russ because I told you this where me is a corner with really had my pass was doing. And when you got Jason Newton and these guys, and one thing I do like about those three is they all bring some different type of game to the to the game, but they all got one thing to come and this mean they mean and they y'all physical, and that's what you want when you talk about interior.
I think one of the main things that I care about more than anything is just seeing us better as a team as a unit, stopping to run. I care less about individual how much success pain on one of those other guys may have, but collectively, I want to see those guys playing together like they should.
And I think that what brings our defense to be.
Back to the level where they played a couple years ago stopping the run and not so much because think about it last year, having a season that we had and we didn't stop the run. Good, Just imagine if we did. You see what I'm saying. So that's probably going to that game that we wish that we went to last year.
You know what I mean?
Just by doing that one thing better and think about this town. What's the best weapon to stop Jane Dallions. It ain't your defense, it's your running game. If your running game can put together. If you could come out of running a game and you ran about thirty five times, they probably mean you ran it thirty five times because you had success that shortened the game. One two, that made JD five the game so prior already Number one on defense should always be stop the run.
Yeah, And I think another element of this is obviously the second level of that defense with the linebackers, you know, Bobby Wagner, Franky Luvu. There's a lot of depth there. Jordan McGee. You know, obviously just Sean Kate Madronod from UCLA draft pick. But I look at that group and I don't know. That feels like the the spine of the d like the heart and soul of the defense, you know what I'm saying. So for me, like obviously, defensive back is extremely exciting, defensive line is very solid. But when the heart beats in the middle of your defense and you gotta like gotta guy like Bobby Wagner at the helm, I just feel like he can cover up a lot of ales for you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, something about that man, Like when you have a guy like Bobby Wagner, we don't we don't speak enough about this guy man. Yeah, you know, and and be just said something about it a little earlier.
You know.
The older the guys get, the less we talk about him. But he's out there still being productive. He's the reason why he go. I love the fact that whoever the guy is behind him, just wait until he steps on a field to have to really go out there and be that guy.
Because he's getting the best.
Coach, last tutor, mentor mentor whatever you want to call it. That anybody can pay for when it comes to a guy like Bobby Wagner, just seeing the things that he's done in one year, it just bring me back those memories of us playing with London, because you know, I always tell y'all the stories about watching London from one side of the locker room and just seeing how serious he was about the game, watching this intensity on the field. That's the same thing I get from Bobby and watching him from where we sit at now, just seeing how he goes.
About his business.
Quiet guy, soft spoken, but go out there and he's swapping.
Paint, you know, yeah, I mean tenn to hearing you talk about him like, is he I know he's gonna be a Hall of Fame player?
Is he underrated here in d C Frod.
You just said that people don't respect old people.
I don't.
I don't respect you, do respect for you.
We don't respect our senior citizens when we should be showing them to voters the way. I'm forty six and I got Benjamin Budd's disease, so I'm getting don't lie for that.
Don't lie for that.
All I'm saying is when you got somebody that made it to that point the locker room out of matter, his respect, Like you don't have to say nothing out of your mouth. We understand how you get this many yards, I mean, this many years at this high level of football, nothing but respect. But I tell you who, I love this guy intensity. All I could think about him jumping over the whole city of Philadelphia, and that's Frankie Louvu. I'm telling you right now. I love the energy. He's a Tasmanian devil. He comes out there to play one physical, two.
He played team defense. Three.
I wish I could play with him, Like I really think if anybody on this team I wish I could have played, it is Frankie Louvu. And I really do think they're gonna add him to the past rush more this year, and I think that's really gonna unlock him. I know he had a Pro Bowl year this year. I think he might even have a better year next year. Yeah, he's one of those guys.
He brings the intensity and I couldn't imagine us going forward without a guy like that, without that intensity, without that energy. You know, I saw him last year a game or two coming out and I was I questioned, like, damn, is he ready to go? And then boom he gets on that field, he's a different dude. He's actually that spark plug for that defense. I know we talked about just those linebackers as a whole as a unit, but when you have a wagoner in the middle and you have that spark plug and Frankie Luvu, you know that you can just move him around like Michael Parson is man. He definitely brings a different kind of gear than everybody else and get everybody going. So yeah, he's a special pusher kind of player.
Yeah, I know, those guys get a lot of headlines, right, Yeah, you know Frankie Luvu. I mean it's one of the most likeable, notable freege and signings from last year. Bobby wagnerse future all the flame right talking about guys that have the heartbeat of this team in my opinion, or the offensive lineman right the backbone of the team.
Right.
Wow.
Boys, So when we're talking about offensive lineman, you talk about wild boars. We talked about the halls, all that stuff. We got a really special guy coming in to talk about it with us. That's he's the most Jack mascot in the NFL. I really appreciate him coming out.
To look baby in y'lse he's leaning in. Last year, we didn't. We didn't hit him with that O zimpy.
We didn't. We didn't hit him with that O zippy.
So hey, so tuddy, what are we thinking about with the offensive line?
What's your what's your best sake? You excited for it?
Now? You know you a mascot. He can't talk, so I'm interpreted for you.
No, you know what he's saying.
He was talking about how excited he was about Larmie Tunsel coming out here. Now he's excited about a first round picking Josh car If I'm a mascot, that's what a log. Yeah, that's what I'm excited about. The question is he's he gonna turn into a wild boy. See, one thing about a hog is domesticated. Like when you let it matter and they get wild, it become wild board.
That's what I'm naming this new group. They a wild boards. You gotta realize we got a Pro Bowl left tackle.
Moving Cole into guard. He could easily be a Pro Bowl guard.
We got a Pro Bowl center and be hotish right when Sam Cosmy coming back. We had a Pro Bowl right guard.
So all I'm telling y'all right now, is you should feel good about the protection for JD five.
Are Are they the most upgraded position this offseason for this?
I think so, Yes, I think so.
I think if you look back a couple of years ago, probably before this regime came in, that's what we questioned the most about our office of line, getting back to when we had a couple of those pro bowlers and Trend and the other couple of guys that we got, you know, and I think one of the guys was who had just left us, went to New Orleans. What his name was? Was it Omstead not Armstead. I'm gonna think of it again, But remember we were just having that conversation about just our office a line and where it used to be, you know, having a couple of guys here and there. So looking at it now today, man, hey, that's that's how you get better. I mean, when you have a when you have uh, I guess you could say our most valuable asset in our court for the back being who he is.
And JD five.
You want to see those guys get better up front. You want to see those guys be able to bring in better guys to be able to go out.
There and handle that.
Load for you.
Tell me who your swing tackle is and your swing guard, and I tell you, do you got a good offensive line? And right now Ala Griddy, people like that, all being slided in their position, they could start for a lot of teams.
So Tuddy is, could this be the best group in the NFL? Yeah, thumbs up from the mascot. Huh And I kind of think so too, maybe.
Right, Tuddy say, Man, don't even ask me that question. You know, sometime I wish you was a Messcot, So.
You know what I'm saying.
I think and to do this land, Yeah, I mean I think obviously, like I think with coaches like Bobby Johnson, Man, Bobby Johnson, what they did last year with that group.
I think what Cliff has shown his ability to do in terms of insulating the offensive line. And then you get more talented, and I think about what this can be. Man, how you can isolate Laramie Tons.
On the island and now you don't have to keep that tight end in now you it allows you to really I think it's gonna allow him to really call his place. I think Cliff is really gonna get in his bag right now, because it's sometime last year it seemed like he was handcuffed a little bit because he had to like help him protection, he had to do anything when we played some top.
K off edge Russia.
Since this where all the pressure come from, like we still had to do certain things. This year, we might not have to do anything. We got guy that can hold up on their own end as a group.
Go ahead.
I'm here to say thanks to Toddy for coming out, Thanks for talking about the offensive line.
Yeah, big round of applause, best mascot in the NFL. Yeah, thanks for coming out.
Man, appreciate tipic work.
All right, let's talk about tight ends. You were just talking about light tight ends.
And so for me, this is a position near and dear to my heart obviously. What the city is zach Ertz, Yeah, Hall of fame career.
He put it like this. He he's on the boulevard. He got the card fifth gear.
Yeah, if he finishes strong, Yeah.
Like maybe if he can squeeze out twelve hundred two fifteen hundred more yards to add.
To his eight thousand.
So is he gonna get to ten thousand?
He think?
Yeah? He got he got like eighty three thousand right now, I mean eight thousand, three hundred yea, all right, So I think if he can squeeze get that close to ten thousand, I don't think you can stop him.
Yeah.
I think just looking at what he did in the back end of last season shows you how special he was. I believe I read something where he had like in the playoffs alone or the last few games and the playoffs, he was it was twenty four targets. He was twenty four for twenty four like he was clutched when we need him to be clutched. So I think, but that's going to allow him to be able to do that because of the guys that we have and also the quarterback, you know what I mean. In on I don't see him. I don't see him doing nothing different from what he showed last year, you know.
Yeah, and he one of those guys he was never judged by his So when you not judge by your speed, it took us a long time to know when you actually getting slower, if you know what I mean.
Separation.
Yeah, he's still separated, especially at the point of a tech. Yeah, at the top of a route. I don't know about it. That's better at getting in and out his cut and create separation.
Yeah.
And again the tennis point, like he had sixty six catches last year.
Yeah, yeah, thirty nine of those were for first downs.
Wow.
So talk about just the guy who's got the ability to keep the offense onto the field, to be a security boget to the quarterback. Again, like you were talking about this Fred, his ability to read coverages, dissect coverages, break coverages, break leverages, getting out of cuts. Yeah, it's fantastic. And I think about, you know, like in terms of what this offense, I think I get worried about. It's just him being healthy. Man, he's an older guys. In your thirteen shot us.
Last year, you know, we didn't think he was gonna play in almost every game.
I think he played in every game.
Well well, well you gotta give a little credit to Dan because he talked about how Dan give a lot of those guys over those vet days. So I mean, when you have a coach that understands who his veterans are and who who need those who need those special days, it's great to play for him, you know.
So obviously we feel fantastic about zach Ertz. I also feel fantastic about John Bates. I mean, talk about a guy you can just set your watch by. Yeah, like he's gonna do the dirty work. He's gonna kind of get after those six We.
Was waiting for him to come around too, And.
I think to think about him, is there's more in the tank from a pass catching standpoint. Yeah, especially with the matchups he's gonna draw. He's such a good blocker.
You can't. You gotta. You gotta stay in base defense.
And that's why I call it bas motel because people.
Go in, but they don't come out. That's all I'm saying. So don't you train base every now and then?
No, No, you have talked to him.
I love to talk to him.
No, because I only asked that question because I'm I remember just I always talk about you, how I looked at you when we played together, And it's just funny to me that I've seen you share some sentiments, you know, sometime with him, and to me, he reminded me of you. He reminded me of a guy like yourself. When bro, I tell you, no, lie, anytime I had like a slip screen or something, specially where I needed a block or two, He's always in my tape showing up blocking somebody down field.
So Logan did a great job.
At least being that guy.
Don't do it till friend, shut up.
Man, It's alright, you can do it.
I can take it.
I know, thank you. I appreciate it.
You know what.
A lot of guys ain't got that.
So no, no, I appreciate that to and again that's what Bates does, right, And so I think we feel really good about the top two. The other guy that you know, I worn't number eighty two. Keep an eye a two on the roster now, Ben Sinnett.
Yeah, what what's.
The expectation for him, man, because I think it was a little bit I don't know, maybe disappointing last year.
I wouldn't say disappointed. I think the guys in front of him play so well. It wasn't but a couple of reps.
To give him.
We just said, Base is one of these best, if not the best blocking tight end in football.
You're gonna take his rips on run downs, You're not.
We just said it was that urge his numbers where he was clutching as you get you can't take his rip. So now another year in this outfense another year. This is one thing I love and I see when I know it's a good outfense. When I don't see the player thinking, just reacting, well, that's what a whole another year in this the officer do. So Hopefully now he's over the thinking stage and he's in more the reacting stage.
And then also when you watch, you watch certain guys and it's almost one of those situations where you say, regardless of how good that guy in front of him, we got to put.
Him on the field.
It's something that jumps off the charts about him and I didn't see that, so I wasn't.
I'm not.
I'm not mad at all with him being a rookie. He showed me that he was a rookie last year. He showed me that he has potential, because you know, you don't get everybody to come in and be like the guy who was up there in Vegas that just.
Killed the league. Bo he killed the league last year, you.
Know, bro.
But he showed me enough in his in his tool box that we can work on that this off season and now look forward to us having three dominant you know, dynamic think about it.
It's it's as crazy as this sound. I think out of the three, he's the most rare round. And I think he's doing a little bit of everything. Yeah, I think he got a little bit of everything. Aim is not void of anything. We just need him to sharpen those tools.
Yeah.
So I think that's it for tight end. And now let's bring in a very special guest. Super Bowl champion, future Hall of Famer.
He's got a super Bowl ring on boot Mitts that beat Mitch.
Brian Mitchell.
Got that mic worked out over the upside over, you know what I mean. Hey, we're good man. Yeah, give that Mike one more time. Let's see say what up he got?
Give it off on the goal jacket.
Don't come your funny once you get that gold Jaggie.
You know you know?
All right, So we're here talking about running backs, like, what is your I guess high level take on the running back group from last year?
Where do you think they're gonna be going this year? Well?
I think when you look at a guy like Brian robb and last year was banging up a little bit, and I think that hitting him whole year. But we've seen Brian when he had terrible situations. How he comes back how he got shot and came out beata. I think the thing about him, He's gonna come back ready to go. Austin Eckler was leading the league in kickoff returns and was destroying people coming out of the backfield. Now you have a little kid named Krosky Merritt, and I think, once you start looking at him a little closer, he is way better than the seventh round draft pick. Okay, kid could have been the second, third round, I believe. And when I'm looking at running Beths, I look for balance and I think he's going to push both of the guys in front of him.
That's crazy to say for a seventh round pick.
See, I think about it. People look at where you're drafted. They don't understand how you can play. A lot of guys get drafted higher because.
They went to a certain school.
Some guys get drafted lower because maybe they had one incident and that was the thing that led their whole career in college. So but you watch him play, you watch him move, He is far battling what they think.
Also, go ahead, don't we have to add Deebo Samuels to this room.
I was finna say the same thing I wasna say the same.
I don't think you have to. I'm just the reason I said is this.
Had run first offense, and they used him too much and too wrong.
That's why he got hurt so much.
This office is about getting people on the edges, getting advantage Devo Sam. He's running these slip screens, Demo sayings out there on that edge. He's gonna make a lot of cornerbacks think twice about hitting him. He's gonna be effective there. Putting him in the backfield is there.
We don't need to do that.
But also to having so many guys that just have different attributes, you know, that's one of the things that specially about getting a guy and getting married this this draft, in this draft class, you have a guy that's a home run hitter. You have a guy that's a bruiser, and then you have a guy in Echo that can do everything, you know what I mean, catch out the backfield, he can, he can, he can pick up, block, you know, protect all that type of stuff.
So I think that's to me, we're.
More well rounded now because last year we didn't have that home run hitter. Having this kid married in here now I think he has that potential and.
Still remember we got number five back there, so you have to you have to figure him out and what that does.
That opened up a lot for of the running man.
So I'm expecting big things, and not just because of them them being better coming back.
I'm looking at an offensive line.
You know, you don't do a damn thing without the offensive line, and I think now they have one where they could just say it's far they weren't lined up and run.
The ball, tricks and all that.
I think they that the new office line is worth one point five more for your don't you that if we average let's just say, if we average three point three last year. I think if you fight the offensive line, it ain't nobody touching you, to you and your to yourds down the field. That's that skyrockets. The fact that we was breaking down there play the other day when we was talking about a run with b Rob to the left, remember talking about well, I started really thinking about the playing out, like why was the play so open? They had us five on JD five, So when you spied JD five, you take somebody out the wrong with the run front that allows us to dictate turns. So it's it just it's one side effect at the held. I gotta running quarterbacks, so you can't load the buck like going to I got a good office line, so we gonna make some one on one plays out here.
It does feel like a position group that's gonna be elevated by scheme quite a bit. Fred talked about the impact of Jade Daniels.
Right.
I think Cliff does a great job creating space, creating white boxes, right, these wide bunches, these wide formations, the zone read the RPO stuff like. So I don't know, man, Like I look at b Rob obviously, I think really dynamic talent is how important is the running back to the system because it the offensive line is gonna be better. These scheme is gonna make it better offensive line.
Last year we didn't want to discuss it when officive line got banged up. Everybody production went down, Yeah, everybody, and and b Rob the brun of the blame, and I think that was that was unfair for him. Well, if you got a better old line now. Also, we forgot about Connedy when you all are talking about them. You got a guy out there on the edge who can run with those guys. Step old people like Jim Musay and pick off blocks. So when I look at this offensive line, now, I'm expecting a lot more production out of the running backs. Okay, I'm expecting more production out of the quarterback and the receivers because a receiver running down the field, he can't get the balls on to it if the.
Quarterback has pressure.
So this offensive line is gonna dictate what this all these running backs do. But when you get Brian one on one on a on a defensive.
Player, they don't want to tackle him.
So and I think Dad is gonna beat beat him down, beat him down, beat him down. And then you bringing the guy you feel got McNichols here. You know, we still got those guys around.
That's that's what I know.
What I'm saying, Like how it's a pack room because there are some talented guys there that have played good football for this team last year? Like is there like how many guys you keep? It just seems like a really dense room.
That's what.
It's a dense room.
But I think that they know the thing about now with the extended practice squad and keep guys justin.
You know, they.
Still have cast. I mean, was cast?
What come down.
They still are trying to figure out something for him. You know, they have multiple guys, Nichols and.
Or the other one.
They got wildly on these.
Different guys where you're gonna at one point in time in the season needs somebody, and I think Cliff understands how to make it work.
So tell me this though.
So every year you hear them talking about taking away a preseason game, and we knew how special, how pivotal those games was for guys like this running back room. How do you get to see all that if you're taking away those kind of games?
You know what's not complaining about working but the thing.
But they like such an old person thing.
It sounds like an old person. It sounds like an old person thing. But you know what, when they go to work, what happened? Okay, when they start doing the things that the old people did, they do better. So ultimately, if they get out there and start working, do I have to wait so damn long?
And a good part about it, we do got to set up practices again, uh, with.
The teams, so joint practices, practices.
We're doing that with two different teams.
So I think that's where they get the Book of every take the place of the preseason.
I have that automatically.
When you're going to get somebody in a different jersey, your your play level goes up.
I feel like you've got a crazy story about a joint practice.
I thought everybody out, everybody, joint practice is about you want to work, but some people try to take advantage of it. And I didn't believe in somebody taking advantage of me. So if they chief shot Tanner, I'm gonna come hit them. They cheap shot any one of you, I'm going I'm gonna step in. I hated the figures guy, but you know what, I'll erase some things for you.
Appreciate that, thanks man.
He right.
So let's talk about another playmaking group in this offense, and that's wide receiver.
Looks way different this year.
There's one constant, and that's Terry Mclaurin's Terry McLaurin a top ten player at the position.
Hell yeah, hell yeah, yeah, not even like a.
Yeah.
That's the thing people look at last year.
Let's take away last year he had mediocre quarterback, below average quarterbacks, and he's still produced. And then when Jayden comes in, he saw what he's capable of.
On a consistent basis.
He broke the record of this story franchise that has been staying that. He broke that this year because he has a legitimate quarterback with a legitimate play caller and an old line that gave him enough time. Now your officive line is even better. And the thing about he don't complain, No, you don't sit out there.
Complaining, no deed. Not a diva. He'd like Tanner.
You know, they played football, they played hard, but the thieves at the received position.
So that I love that even more about it.
One of the things I've always said about him. I mean, I mean, you said it right, you hit it on the head take away last season.
Every year he showed you he was consistent.
And that's one of the main things we have to be in this league in order to play long and then be productive, you know while we playing. But besides that, here's a guy that people was judging him by how good he looked while doing the position instead of how productive he looked. You know, I heard a couple of guys I had some phone calls and the guy was like, what he catched with his body?
I'm like, is he catching it? Though?
You know what I'm saying, oh, well, he don't look like he can separate like this guy.
He don't need to.
But is he scoring and is he getting the yard? So you know, I'm asking all these they asking me these questions I'm saying. So I'm like, you're you're basically graating him and saying, well, he don't look like this guy doing it, but he's getting the job.
You tell you he was drafted in the third round, and I don't won't give him more credit than the.
First round that he's out playing.
Which you know what I'm saying, you play dB.
What makes him so difficult to cover?
Because again, like Tennis said, it doesn't always look like you know the routes on Instagram, double sticks, all this crazy step stuff.
Why is he such a difficult cover?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If I tell you my wife or die, she would die. That's how you need to know. I lost it in a divorce.
But but this is what I'm saying, by Terry, he's one of up the best how should I say, close catch wide receivers in the game?
Close catch? He don't need to separate.
You.
And that's dangerous to me because now as a guy that has to study him, I have to find that defining trait and he doesn't have one. He runs routes bet just as bad as anybody.
In the league.
And you see when I say he got that Jerry Rice beed if y'all noticed, nobody ever catches him from the back.
But people want to talk to me about his forty. His forty is forty yards or whatever it need to be, and that's all you worry about. He's well rounded.
He blocks, he doesn't undress a call, meaning I never know from where he lines up at what the call is. He is studious, He ain't no devil. He's just hard to play because he is so real rounded that you can have. He don't have any idea you.
Can play your absolute best. He still comes down with the football.
Yes, if your defensive back and you're covering him and you're right there and he comes down with the ball.
That pisses you off because I did everything I'm supposed to and he's still burting me.
And then I think we also have to give him some recognition for just something that Bobby Ingraand spoke to me about last year. I remember we was out there still taping shows right when the team broke for their little break, and we saw Terry out there running wind sprints and I told you guys, I say, hey, man, when a.
Guy doing that.
He locked in because I've been I've been in those moments where somebody or something pushed me to do a little more. And Bobby came and told me and say, Tana, I was just showing Terry the all time greats at his position on his team.
And I'm like, what you mean.
He said, I was showing him each and every guy who they considered one of the all time great receivers in Washington history, franchise history. And he said, I told Terry, you gotta get on this list. Yes, you have been consistent every year of getting a thousand yards, but you haven't did anything better than these guys who lead in yards, letting touchdowns, let in whatever. And this year Terry go out there and lead, now break the record for touchdowns. So it shows you how intentional he is and how he takes on coaching. To me, that's why he's a top ten guy because he understands I'm not just gonna take something too hard or take your life. I'm gonna go out there and prove you right or wrong about who I am, because since you put in there for me to go get it, I'm gonna go and grab it.
I think that's a really good description to Terry what he does well and kind of how specially is this team. The other thing that I think is interesting about this receiver room is now there's another kind of big name, dynamic playmaker.
And so.
If for somebody who's never seen Deebo Samuel's play Fred, how would you describe his play style?
Yack mixed with coke. He kind of looks it's a Coca cola. He's a yack guy. He's a yard after the catch guy. I think about a guy that's built like a running back while I receive doing He's.
A break hold on, hold on, hold on, I'm gonna stop you there. You said yack mixed with Coca cola.
Coca Cola. That's a nice drink.
That hind off. Miss Mona call it a Jessie Jackson check this out.
But you know what it is.
Debo is going to also get a lot of tension from a defense. You can't cover everybody. Now last year you watched they will trying to take Terry out the game. Try that this year. Then you got another guy who's capable of hurting you. You got running backs that a Cape hurt you. He is another who comes in and takes attention. So when you're defensive coordinator, you're worried about one guy on the On the offense, you can do a lot. You got Terry, Devo, Jayden Zach zach ERTs, Okay, you still have Austin and Brian there too. You have to try to play more of a balance defense and they I don't think you can play that against.
This no very honest defense.
And when I say he's an alert guy, when he moves, the defense has to communicator. It don't matter if it's just him getting closer to the tackle, and if really when he go across the formation, it's when the.
Games really begins. And I think he's he's one of those pieces. He's one of those pieces right there. He's a chess piece that most people can't answer for.
Yeah, And I think when I watched him, the thing that sticks out, like because I didn't know you know about Devo, but when you go watch the film, when you go watch the san Franz stuff, like he plays like an absolute bully.
He's got he's got a bullyman.
But your name is Devo.
You what I'm saying. I think that's a cool thing to bring to that room.
Watching those guys last year, you watch that Terry plays and every receiver tried to play like Terry Bing. Can you imagine now Terry and Deebo, Terry, those young guys. When you have guys on your team, veteran players like that, you don't have to say a lot as a coach. You just let them do their job and they don't have to talk a lot coach, just show up and play.
So, Okay, we're gonna talk about other receivers, but I want to talk about this next question more than anything, quarterbacks.
Jayde Daniels.
Is he the best quarterback in the NFC? Now before we answer, Okay, if I were to take Jalen Hurts and put them on this team and put Jayden on the Eagles, are we worse or are we better?
If we were to switch quarterbacks with the Eagles.
I think you put Jayden Daniels on that team, they're better and we're gonna be worse.
I don't think we want to see a Jaydon dans on the Eagle.
Because the one as she has over Jalen Hurts. He's a more accurate passer. Yeah, all right, the roofs got a quicker release. He anticipates better. I've been say just the whole passing as a whole, he's a better passer. So if we talk about the let's just go the vision the NFC East. He's the best quarterback in the NFC East.
We can say that. So they go three teams right there.
I don't know, No, that's tough, Okay, I love him.
I would sit here and say, yeah, man, now he's the guy, but it's so many guys that have played for you know, more than two three years.
We have to see another year. So i'ma I'm gonna just put it like that.
Going into this season, I would say that he's pushing a lot of guys after.
Two seasons in this league. Then we'll be able to probably answer that question a little better.
So I think you bring up a good point, Tanna, and something that I get a little bit worried about.
I'm a little worried work. You know, I can't be happy. I can't I don't like I can't accept nice things yeah, you're right. So we talked about the consistency of Jaydon Daniels rights. Is there a risk of him having a sophomore slump this year?
It's always a risk, but they always is a guy that works like that. No, because what happens. See the problem is a sophomore slump. They all say, justin quarterback, the team sometimes stays stagnant and don't get better. This team has gotten better, the coaching gets stagnant or they don't get better. You think, you think they're about to take a step back. I believe what we saw last year with dan Quinn and this in this coaching staff. In one year, they got those guys that respond like that two years now and then makes the guys believe in themselves. Look, we gonna have coaches with all the exce and o's all you want. You can yell and scream, but if you don't make me feel you give a damn about me, I'm not giving you my best.
It's natural and it's it's a human beings work.
They may try, but they gonna always get to a point and say, to hell with him, he don't get about me.
And I think the thing I'm most worried about. Maybe is that he plays exactly the way he did this year. Yeah, everyone says it's a slump because he absolutely balled out of control this year.
I don't think it's gonna be with the numbers. With him, it's gonna be all about winning. If we take a step back from winning, they're gonna say it's a slump.
If he takes a step back, that doesn't mean because your team is for this year, you're playing my team.
You gotta you gotta, you gotta, you gotta Also think about we lost that NFC championship game and he was the one bright spot.
You know, he was a guy that went out there and stood tall.
So it's always the possibility of a guy not looking like he looked the year before, you know what I mean, the next year because we all we all have those ups and down seasons. But I think, well, one thing that's gonna stand out to me is just seeing how he get everybody else to be either themselves are better.
Ask your question, why is it only the quarterback then say sophomore slump about.
I don't talk about.
We're talking about with Mike Sandrasol though, too.
No, I totally understand but I don't. This guy's born in an arcticle. He got ice Ward in his band.
This is what I know. The bigger the game, the bigger his play. He don't seem to go up and down. Like no, I'm talking about Jaydon all right, Like this dude is.
Ready for the big show. We just talked about that lost to Philadelphia in the playoffs. He was the one bright spot. It wasn't too big for him.
Did Pat Mahomes have a sophomore slump?
That hit?
I mean, he played one game in his rookie season and the coach felt so good that he traded the guy he had just gotten.
And then he came out and he threw for like forty touchdownds.
It happens.
Sometimes, it doesn't happen one hundred percent of the time where people have slumps, But also a lot of people get get complacent and and continue.
What does Jayden seem.
Like that guy?
I don't think so, look like Popeye right now? Yeah, and anything I see a gun and think about it.
Our offensive line is better, the running back room is better, the wide receiver room better.
Everything around him is better. Take the next step, all right?
So that's kind of how we feel about the current roster of the team. Obviously, we're really excited. I can't wait to watch ot A start next next week. Jason, is that where they start start next week? So we'll get you more updates on that with the show. All right, Now it's time.
For hell yeah and hell all right? So well yeah, maybe we can do that too.
Fan fan contribution is always important, all right, Jane Daniels will continue to shine in primetime, which this year, if you guys didn't look at the schedule, is extremely important.
Eight primetime games.
Yeah yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah?
Hell can we get a brief why? Why?
Well?
Well, one, well, for one, I feel like every every week we playing on prime time, so he got to do.
Out there and play well. But I think I think too, It is just.
I like who he's been coached by this staff man, something about dan Quinn and what he does, you know what I mean? Those guys collectively do a great job of getting each and every one of those guys ready. Jade is one of those guys. He come from what you see him doing, like he's been raised by his father to be who he is today. So I don't look at this guy taking this season, likely knowing that the pressure is even more on this year.
So yeah, I think he go out there and kills stuff.
Hell y'all, I just like I said, everything around him got so much better and and this guy feed up they on the ground, So don't I don't see his heads getting in the cloud and loans. He stays focused. I don't think it's nothing, Nickna stop.
You and just to like double click on Tanna's point, Like, so Adam Peters goes out and gets some better offensive lineman, gets some better playmakers. Right. The coaching staff is excellent, and we know Jade's putting the work in. So I just feel like that's part of who he is, like you were talking about being he's just wired that way to kind of to continue to improve.
I don't believe in thinking negative. I feel if you put it positive again, man say that again, say I just.
Believe and think it positive.
So if you believe somebody's gonna do something and they believe they can get it done, they normally get it done. Also, something you will talk about earlier about the defense, and I told you I will give you a different perspective.
Oh yeah, that perspective is your offense is a lot better.
Now, if your offense scores more touchdowns, run the ball more effectively, you know what that does for your defense.
It makes the other.
Offense play one dimensional against them. So Jaydon Daniels and this offense is going to be a big part of defense. Gonna get a lot of sex. Absolutely, all right. So the next hell yeah, hell no. So we'll start with the fans.
All right, the NFC East is between the Eagles and the Commanders.
Hell yeah, yeah, hell yeah, hell yes.
It won't be the Cowboys at the Giant.
I ain't the two teams that played in the NFC Championship. I think both teams got better in the offseason. And you know, once you get the winning like that the Philadelpia, you can believe they can win anywhere.
Once you win that Super Bowl, you can believe you can win anywhere. Yeah.
But at the end of the day, I think it's the two best quarterbacks in the NFC East, and that say it's a lot too.
So I got a question for you, friend, how does the roster the Eagles roster sack up with the Commanders after this kind of blockbuster free agent trade season for the Washington commanders.
We went got fat, we went got big. We've seen what happened in the NFC Championship game. We got pushed a round, so we win. Got big back on both sides of the ball. We win't got bigger at the tackle. We win, got bigger at the edge. We went, got bigger at right tackle, We got bigger at left tackle. Everybody he rolled in on, even the wide receiver that we got this year, got a big back, Deebo saving. We went got tough, like that's what we seen. We went got tough because we feel like we got pushed a round.
But let's think right this. We moved the ball on the Eagles that one game we didn't win. All officer line were hurting Jade. But if we don't turn the ball over in the NFC Championship game, we're moving the ball on them. We scored thirty some points on them while we were here. The office is not concerned about their defense, as good as they were.
It just takes our defense taking a step forward and then it's on and popping.
Love that love that all right. So this one man, this is a this is a bold one from producer Jason so Fans.
Let us know, the Super Bowl is a legit reality for the first time since the rfkda's.
Yeah, hell yeah.
He pretty true stuff about that, you.
Know, other than nineteen ninety nine.
In nineteen ninety nine, we were one game from the NFC Championship Game and we had some snapping going on and messed up some stuff.
They rolled the step back. Oh okay, we played against Tampa.
Man, the game was over. Yeah, well, you know, I think so.
I think last years, you know, we actually put a stamp on it by getting to.
The NFC Championship Game.
So when when you have your first season with this regime to actually be an NFC get make it to the NFC Championship Game each and every year removed from that year, that's what you're coming into the season thinking, we gotta get we gotta get one game better than what we were last year.
So we didn't have those years in our years of playing.
No, we don't think we had those years when I played with you and these guys got out there the first year together and had that success.
So I'm looking forward to seeing the more.
You know, it is such a reality, man, y'all might have to pinch me and wake me up. Because it's legit. I think when you got a legit coaches style, legit quarterback, you see what they did last year was the floor like and I don't think people eould look at the reality of that.
Last year was the first year of coach Quinn.
Last year was the first year legit quarterback, and they they succeeded our expectations.
But now we got expectations. Those expectations.
Saying you don't have to understand. It comes to a confidence and this team believes in itself. Every time I talk about him, I always talk about the coaching staff because I believe this coaching staff develops talent. They get the best oute of people. That wasn't happening before. We got guys come in and it were worse than three years. They are making guys better now. And if you could keep drafting and getting the talent, you're gonna be competing on a regular basis. That's what you need to do, getting the playoffs, compete every year, and all of a sudden you end up in the big Show.
Yeah.
Absolutely, so. I think obviously we're really excited about the roster. We're really excited about Jaye and Daniels. We're really excited about the direction this team is going.
Yeah.
Another thing that I'm really excited about is the potential RFK thing going on.
Zero getting back to RFK.
Yeah, hell yeah, hell yeah.
So it's funny off this panel right now. Two of us have played in RFK. Yeah right, me and you. Yes, I'm sure your memories are much better than mine. There, can you talk a serm real quick RFK.
My first part return for a testdown was in RFK. Really, my first one hundred yard rustling game against Dallas in RFK. You know, it's like the thing about that place, it was so close. It's just like the fans are right here, boot. That's how they felt. Fifty four thousand people. And I'm gonna be honest with you, FedEx has gotten loud. It's never been allowed to those fifty four thousand.
Well because because like you, we've all played in like those tight stadiums like Seattle.
Yeah, when it's on top of you, it's just hits.
But the way the architect the way they built it to where when the noise goes up and come right back down and just stayed in there. But you know the thing about it is that's when we had a legit home field advantage. People used to be concerned about it. You know, everybody looked at the stadium about, oh it's old, who cares. When I went to Philly to the Vet, we played on the same field. But I really believe you get it's I'll say this, everybody played politics.
I don't play party. That stadium will be back there.
All these people that been yeah, I've been talking all that, they're gonna get ran out the way and they're gonna go in. It's already a lot of guys that were saying I might not vote, Well, now they're saying I'm starting to change my mind. They know this thing is a locomotive and they better get the hell out the way.
So why is it so important to get back there.
It's the soul in the heart of the city. Like, think about it. For too long, we've been disconnected.
We live in Virginia, were playing Maryland, but we the Washington Commander.
They don't go together. So I think, think about this.
The one thing people say when they go to Baltimore and the joy game, they love the path to the stadium because.
It's in the city.
You get a taste of where Baltimore Hills. When people come here, we want to get him a Tasa where Washington he is ight, So for that to happen, it need to be back in the heart of the city. We always says you was a good salesperson.
Not only that, I just think that when you when you look back at those championship teams, that's where they was able to connect and do that there. You know what I mean, we left we we actually say Okay, we're gonna win three super Bowls. Now we're gonna relocate and go somewhere else. I mean, it was all produced and it was politics didn't right then, it right there in RFK. So I just feel like we left a lot behind and I didn't have a chance to really experience that.
So I don't notice. I just I'm just a guy that watched you.
Guys playing as a kid and understood what this history was about. So when I got here and we're playing in Landover, I'm like, with Damn, that ain't the same stadium that I watched growing up. And then when you see the trajectory of where we was at all throughout those years, to me, it was because we need to be somewhere else, you know what, I mean, but you look.
At right now in this city, this whole area is because of that.
That baseball stadium.
Down down close in downtown in China Town is because of that stadium. You and now they're talking about building the stadium over here on the water where I'm gonna go on the boat.
But you get double with me.
Coming down.
Tell me, like George Wall, I'm just saying, you look at the possibilities. You look at Super Bowls, you look at World Cups, you look at NBA Championship. All these different things will be in this city. Olympics will be in this city. I think when you look at that possibility, you can't get a politician in the world to tell me that's got a good thing.
They gotta get the hell out the wind.
