No doubt or hey that that safety position is different, bro, Like, I'm not gonna I'm not even gonna talk about how hard it is to be a surefire tackler, to be a force to be reckoned with, because a defense, like all you have as a defense or just a defender is fear, Like you have to be able to make these tackles. You have to make an offense fear. You have to make the player you're about to go against have some sort of doubt in his mind, Like, hey, bro, he really gonna sting me if I if I could try and tackle it, try and run him over, or he really gonna like if I still put this stiff arm out. He knows I'm trying to stiff arm, so here gonna knock my hand down and tackle me. Bro Like, from there, the safety position is crazy. I just think like, especially with the current market for a safety, it's it's not it's not giving the market value, bro, Like there's there was, there was a pinnacle, and it seems like it's on the decline, especially with you know, safety is whatever it is, but is that is that. Do you think it's because quarterbacks aren't throwing as many deep balls as they used to, or do you think.

Now we're two and one, and you feel like going into that fourth quarter, it's I don't even know what the score is. We're up three zero, maybe whatever that whatever the score is, or there's a chance, you know, there's a chance that they don't score again, you win, or maybe maybe all they had scored was three points by then, And I was like, Yo, we're gonna win this game. It is what it is. We end up losing, and it changes that vibe that you're like, man, you know, it changes that that vibe of knowing that you're gonna win because now you know you have to prove that you can win each and every game. So next week's gonna be that much more imperative that we get back in the win column. You know, you look forward to that club, Dove, that's a club, little Saint. You go into locker room. Music is playing, boys, boys excited you go. You go into every week trying to earn the right to enjoy your teammates smiles, to enjoy you know, another win for not only team, the city, you and you. You love being a part of the NFL team. You love being a part of the Saints because we're so integrated in the city, so each win feels that much better. So we got to get back to that win column. You know, after the game, spoils go to the victor. You know, CJ comes out and says, you know, there the Saints are pretenders, which he played for US with Sean Payton was here. He didn't get to see the uh, the Dennis Allen takeover and he you know, but Chauancey is also a really good safety. So they won and he's able to say the type of things he said. It's just a part of the game. You know, how did he lost? He couldn't have said it. Uh, and and all that he said was, you know, he said some crazy statements about remember they got Derek Carr, their pretenders, they're not contenders, et cetera, et cetera. Like in all due respect, like relax, you know, we have to prove that we're not pretenders. We have to prove that we're contenders. And that goes for each and every team in the NFL. Every week there's a chance you can win, lose, and hopefully not draw.

It's time for my segment, the final Push. Look, I'm just thinking the Saints lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. I guess you can't win everyone, but it feels like every time we're gonna take the field, we're gonna try and win. I think that, you know, two and oh, we've been two and oh before, and I wanted that three and oh. I wanted that three and oh start. I think coach throughout that coach Dennis Allen throughout that stat that we hadn't been three and oh since twenty thirteen. It's been a while, but that two and oh. Now we're two and one, and you feel like going into that fourth quarter, it's I don't even know what the score is. We're up three zero, maybe whatever that whatever the score is, or there's a chance, you know, there's a chance that they don't score again, you win, or maybe maybe all they had scored was three points by then, And I was like, Yo, we're gonna win this game. It is what it is. We end up losing, and it changes that vibe that you're like, man, you know, it changes that that vibe of knowing that you're gonna win because now you know you have to prove that you can win each and every game.

Uh.

Uh.

There has to be a winner, and you're gonna continue fighting for that.

Uh.

Uh.

Chauncey is the troll of the league, of the league for the reason like Chauncey gonna come out under meet that bridge now and serve whatever hot take he got on his mind. And he's going to try and rile you up. That's what who Chauncey is uh as a as a player.

Uh.

Uh.

And that's make him lovable as a teammate and you hate him as an enemy, but he wasn't enemy on Sunday, So you know that's rightfully. So I think about, you know, towards the end of that game, the ebbs and flows going back and forth offensive the field, defense on the field, my dog Carl Granderson had you know, one and a half sacks that Brian Maze had a two sack night. Delonte Taylor had added another sack to his total.

Uh.

Uh.

As a DV he might be like probably a top five leading the league for sacks. It was it three and a half. Gotta be top five in three games. He's going, Yeah, he's going federal. Uh. Then you think about you know, Jalen Jalen Carter and Tyron Matthews out there chirping at each other, and that's just part of the game. Energy, running hot, temp rubbing, running hot. It is what it is. When you see a D linean going after dB, that's that's not even fair, for real, for real, that fight's not ever gonna happen. Nobody cares about that. And again in in the middle of the game, you're gonna talk your your most know he's towards end the game when when emotions is the highest. So it's just football, you know, Like when I say it's just football, it's just that regular banter that you're gonna catch. And it just so happened to get intense football players and are competitive beings to begin with. Athletes are competitive beings for the most part, and so when you come through it, there's gonna be there's gonna be a lot of noise to be said. So you just gotta you gotta continue focus on what you gotta focus on. So that was that was just a random riff I saw. Everybody was like, well, what do they say? They just they just jawjacking. At that point, you know, it got animated, So it is what it is. Anyways, you know, you think about even in that game, you know the last the last part of the final push in that game, Uh, DeVante Smith went down and you hate to see a player ever go down and not be able to pop right back up. He went down whatever was. I don't even know what he went down went down for until you saw the replay. You know, he getting tackled by two or three guys and he's trying to fight for every yard and my my young nose tackle comes out the stack, adds in on the ads in on the tackle. You know, a gang tackle is just a routine tackle. There was no ill intent other than let's get him down. He goes down and doesn't get back up, and it's it's tough, and then you see this fireback. You know, my young bull comes in on off days like bro fans are going crazy. I'm like like, hey, that's a running mill tackle. You play snap to whistle, you go until you hear the whistle. That's just is what it is. And I'm never going to say, you know anything other than that. It's not like he was on sidelines. He was in the middle of field. That's a routine tackle. If it gets blown earlier before he falls, then it's a different story. But you're gonna play snap to whistle each and every time. I think we're in the opportune time of going into UH this week playing Atlanta, that we have to take advantage of each and every opportunity. Atlanta's clearly beatable. Now we have shown that we can be beat so we've got to come out with our best because we're going into a hostile environment going into Atlanta. We got to get this win. And it's Atlanta Hate Week and for everything about it, it's hate week. So get the dog. We'll continue having fun. If not, we'll have to talk about this later.
