• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Dione. Welcome, Thank you so much for being here.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: We're gonna talk with you a little bit just about
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: football Super Bowl, but I do want to ask you
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: talk to us about going up against Patrick Mahomes and
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs and how tough it is to match up.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Listen, he understands it.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know it personally, but I am a Broncos fan,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: so I also get it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: It's tough, So talk about that game.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: I don't get it. I really don't. I don't be understanding.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Like the stuff that bothers me the most is like,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: you know, after the game and then you start seeing
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: all the conspiracy stuff. I'd be like, Luke Tolan, I'm like,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: for real because you see stuff and I'm like, is
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: this really happening? And then like you're not really like
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: realizing what's happening or if it really is happening, and
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: then it takes your mind like so many places. But overall,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: like you like, you gotta respect it, right if Patty
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Mahomes is doing this every year, respect and but you
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: got it like you wanted them dudes, right, Chris Jones
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: one of them dudes. Like, dudes are like that. But
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: you know, I'm ready for it to be us.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think listen, I think America was wanting the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: same thing. To be honest with you, I think a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: lot of people went into that game. No, you didn't
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: let America down. But I think similarly to how you
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: both feel, it's like you kind of want to see
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a new team get in there and kind of ruffle
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: some feathers.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like put us both in there.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. See, I'm all about that.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I love No, it's true.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: But again, I think a lot of people, not even players,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: sympathize with the feeling of like.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: We're here again. How did we get here again?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: And to your point, it doesn't take away from how
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: talented they are. Of course you want to give them
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: their praise, But Deebo, we've spent a lot of time
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: talking about just how tough this team is to face
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and how almost frustrating it can feel.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: They're definitely tough.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: You know, Super Bows lost to the same team.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: You know we got over that NFC Championship humping and
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: made it to the last one, and you know we
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: up team with four minutes never lose by ten in
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: twenty nineteen and last year you know overtime, right, it's
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: just just my homes, bro, Like, it's just my homes.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: There's not a whole lot you can do about the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: offense being what it is. But also spags defensive scheme.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: What are the Eagles need to do up front?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: As simple as that, and I'm gonna just keep it
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: a buck. The football game comes down to the old
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: line and D line. The skill guys.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: He talked about D line like ten minutes ago, and I.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Call them skinnies, No in disrespect the skinnies of the game.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: The skinnies is gonna do with what they do. Guys
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: can run fast, they can catch you, got you got
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: a few superstars that is gonna do with what they do.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: De bo Tyreek Hill, some of like those names, Boom
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: boo boom, and they gonna do it. But when it
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: comes down to it, the old line and D line
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: gotta come up. Yeah, the Eagle D line's humongous. They're
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: they're nice, they're young, they're athletic, they're fast. Don't even
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: let the game get away from you, get away from you.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just told them that they've got to win.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I think in order to beat the Chiefs, you have.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: To like affect Patrick mahone.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: You have to that and.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You also have to you also can't if you're expecting
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: to win with a field goal at the last second,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen. You have to convincingly win against
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs or it is not gonna happen. So the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Eagles really have to. I think they have to come
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: out swinging. They have to start playing aggressive really really quick.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I said, the Eagles definitely got to be prepared
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: for the blitzing for sure, because they're gonna stack the block.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: They gotta say, corn and who's running crazy? He He's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: not gonna just let him run crazy. They're gonna stack
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the box. They're gonna try to set it off first
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: that we can or set the temple first. That look,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: we're gonna stop the run. We want to see where
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: your arm is at, because you know, y'all have had
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: a run game majority of the season, which we're not
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: talking bad about, right like you know ja ja, and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you gotta stop it and then force that on the
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: d line. That's why it comes to the line, d Lin,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: because they got to do what they do.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: So it sounds like they're the X factor in your opinion,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: one of your X factors this season.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, that's my boy. Now, listen, I want you.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Without It's gonna be really tough for me to say,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: remove your bias. Here, the MVP race was very close.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It was tight.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It was tight. It was tight. It was tight.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: You can't tell him to remove it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You can ask that, But how would you convince somebody
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: who's like, ah, I feel like Lamar Jackson might deserve
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it more.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: You go ahead and speak, and I would love if
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: we could talk about those two guys, but we can't.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: We can't. Just it is what it is. Nah. But
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: when it comes down to it, realistically, I hate to say.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I don't want to pull back from anything that my
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: team is doing. Of course, Khalil Shakur, we got Mac Hollins,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: We got a couple guys that are just guys, right, Like,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: we don't have a debo. If we had a debo,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: we would win the Super Bowl, right, And our guys
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: are debo without that name of debo yet, right, which
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: is great? Right? So, realistically, Josh Allen is Josh Allen,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: and he's by his He's been doing it not by himself,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: but he's doing it by himself. Like we don't have digs, right,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: we don't have gag and even though like we had
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that and we still lost. But Josh is continuing to
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: show every single year like, bro, this this boy is
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: like that. And you know, I am a Lamar fan
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: like he's he is that he is that. Saquan has
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: revamped his whole career and he's definitely that, but he
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: finally has an old line that could push that button
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: for him and and and I applaud that. I applaud
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: that because I'm a lineman and I know why Saquan
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: is the way he is because those boys like upfront
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: are really working. But when it comes down to it,
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: like like, let's not even be funny. Yeah, Josh Allen.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Is no jokes here is that boy? He just made
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: it very clear we are not telling jokes on this
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: stage and Josh, anybody but Josh Allen and that's just
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: funny business. But you know what, He's absolutely had an
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: incredible season. And I think, uh, it's a good thing.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: When the MVP race is tight. I means you've got
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: talent in the league. It's fun. You know, it shouldn't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: just it shouldn't be a landslide.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: In my opinion. We've got way too much talent across
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: this league. But I love the point that you bring
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: up about the fact that he's done maybe more with less.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Right, do he win MVP and Office of MVB and
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: he went MVP and Sake won't get Office MVB?
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: You know, I don't. I don't know, you know, because
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: like I don't even know too much about it because
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: I only know about it because Christian wore offense v Like,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: but I don't even know. But if we talk about
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the most valuable player, Josh has to have one of those,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: if there's two of them, because I didn't even know,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and if there was two, yeah, but I just think
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: that he's that. But even to spin it right like
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: you want it, what's crazy? There is no award for
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: off offensive lineing zero zero awards. You got Trent on
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: your team, right. I've been a young boy to Trent
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: my entire career. I've met Trent when I was in
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: college and looking at Trent, I'm like, you are it's
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: for you? Are that dude top to bottom. I respect it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: I bow you are that dude nine overall of Madden.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: It doesn't just happen, you know, zero sacks. He's a
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: game changer. People game playing against him, and there's no
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: award for him to go on stage and and be
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: like I did this six years in a row. Come on, bro,
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: no award. So I'm saying that they gotta be thirteen
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: years talk about it. There has to be a protector
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: of the of the Year award.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Well, the quarterback can't do their job without you, particularly
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: or Saquon.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: And we talk about two running backs, you know what
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, We talk about a run back and a quarterback.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You bring up a great point because it is it's
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: one can't happen without the other. So it's almost like
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the it's a part of the award without it being
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a part of because people that know football know right
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen can't be who he is out the old
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: line that he's got around him, Dean balk.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And Spencer Brown, Connor and McGovern.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: But do you think there's a world where we ever
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: get that?
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: For you, I'm pushing for it right now, the first
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: person I ever heard telling you about it, And I'm
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: very passionate about it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I'm very passionate. But it will happen, and I will
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: spirit and it will happen because I'm in year I'm
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: going into year nine, and I'm gonna just keep I'm
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: the best left tackle in the league. And I know this,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: and I can say it with confidence now, and people
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that's watching can say, you know what, this was his year, right,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and me to know how hard it is to do
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: that for the whole year. Yeah, And then I'm thinking
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: of Trent, who's done it year after year after year
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: after year after year after year after year. I'm still
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: going and I've only did it about eight times. He's
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: in year fifteen. I still got another seven ago, right,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: he is that dude. But we just need it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And it sounds like you have a very thankless joke. Thankless, thankless.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: They call us the unsung heroes, but nobody.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Be singing well, right, But again I think it's you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: when you've got a debo and and you've got the quarterback.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Those are positions we talk about because it's very very
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: easy to talk about them. You know, having a masterclass
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: by a Saquan or a Derreck Henry, we can talk
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: It's a thankless job. But here's your thank you.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you for doing what you have done long to
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: allow I appreciate Josh Allen and your team to thrive
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: because I think there were question marks before the season started,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: losing some of the talent that you guys lost. What
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: is this offense going to look like? But when you've
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: got you and company and Josh Allen, it's all.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It takes, all it takes. I appreciate that. The flowers,
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I appreciate that, but you're correct, and uh, my job
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: is to keep pushing at that button. And uh, we
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: need the skinnies to talk about it like and I'm
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: gonna just keep it a buck like Debo has follow
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: one is crazy, Josh is following is crazy. Cook all
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: these guys. McCaffrey, talk about your big boys.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, give a love.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Talk about me, man, talk about love. I love. Talk
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: about these guys because they need it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I love.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: We ain't nothing without the skinnies, and the skinnies ain't
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: nothing without us, absolutely, And it has to be the
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: big East, the bigs slagging. We're skinny guys trapped in
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a big guy body.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: That's fantastic.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: That's all.
