0:00
This is Will Montgomery former Washington Redskins center,
0:04
y'all. Let's go, folks.
0:05
This is Trey, Johnson and headbang of y'all and you're
0:08
listening to mess hall with Riley captain and tailgate, Ed
0:11
Burke. What's going on Riley.
0:15
Happy first day of summer, man. Is it the first day of summer?
0:19
It seems like it's the first day of spring with all this rain
0:22
going on, April showers. Bring July flowers, I guess you
0:26
want to say there was, I was actually hoping to go The Nets
0:30
game today and then I wasn't sure if it was good, cancel, the
0:34
we have to show going on everything else and I'm looking
0:36
out my window right now, it is nasty out there.
0:40
Oh yeah, I'm glad to be inside, I really am.
0:44
I don't want anything to do with the rain, although we need it.
0:47
And so I'm not going to be too upset about it.
0:50
My grass needs it, you know, the plants needed, you know, the
0:55
universe we need rain. And I don't believe that, man.
0:58
I just, I don't know. It's like if the grass is not a
1:01
got to pay someone to cut it. Well that doesn't mean you see
1:04
that need it though. This is their grass, it is.
1:08
It's just that grass is just, you know, I remember, I would
1:11
always trying to walk my dog in certain areas back with your
1:14
soul in Virginia, where it was such a pain to get the lawnmower
1:17
to cut the grass. This is like oh I didn't kill
1:19
it. The dog dead.
1:20
Can't blame me. I'll get you a goat, right?
1:25
I don't think that allow that in Fairfax.
1:28
I could get away with it. Not stranger things, have
1:31
happened, bro. That is true.
1:33
And speaking of a strange thing that happened?
1:36
Did you hear the latest between Joe Gibbs and Josh Harris?
1:40
Actually, I did hear that man. And I got to tell you.
1:43
So this guy he continues to. Wow, me man.
1:47
And so obviously, he and Joe have been talking and are mr.
1:52
Gibbs, shall I say, mr. Gibbs has been talking
1:55
structures are always going to be Kurdish.
1:57
Mr. Gibbs coach. You know this That's just the
2:00
side of me too. Like I told you, I couldn't call
2:02
Eric, Eric, I had to call him mr.
2:04
Coach be enemy, you know, I had to do that.
2:06
But anyway, so coach Gibbs. They've been talking man and
2:11
think about this. So he owns all of these things
2:17
and now he has his hands on Joe Gibbs Racing jgr.
2:23
I mean, that's good stuff, bro. It's phenomenal, man.
2:27
I was happy to hear this and for those of our listeners that
2:29
don't know, it didn't hear it, it's a Wednesday, June 21st
2:33
we're recording this but it was just announced couple days ago
2:36
that Harris, Blitzer sports and entertainment, the sports
2:39
Investment Company. Led by Josh, Harris and private
2:42
Equity Firm arctos. Sports Partners is making a
2:45
minority investment in Joe Gibbs Racing and it's forming a
2:50
partnership that makes Gibbs a limited partner in HBS SB.
2:57
So the difference though is HBS C is not the actual official
3:03
group that is going to be investing in buying a
3:06
Commander's, but the fact of the matter is Josh Harris has been
3:12
courting coach for a long time. Gives you came a confidant to
3:17
Harris as you pursue the team. So to me it doesn't get any
3:23
classier than coach Gibbs. I've had the honor of meeting
3:26
him. Multiple times.
3:28
I mean, he is just a salt of the earth, kind of guy.
3:31
No one has ever said, anything bad about coach, and I dare
3:36
anyone to say something bad about Coach because I want to
3:40
say, they died going to start either bro.
3:41
Yeah, I mean the guy he's, you know, he is Washington football.
3:46
And if he trusts Josh Harris to invest in his Nascar Enterprise,
3:54
Then who are we as fans and people that love this team to
3:58
not trust, Josh Harris group to do what's right when it comes to
4:03
owning the commanders and the Investments are going to make in
4:07
the commanders. And this was actually a quote
4:09
from Josh Harris says here in recent years, I've been
4:12
fortunate enough to get to know coach Gibbs and I'm proud to
4:15
count him as a trusted friend and advisor, Joe is a winner
4:19
first and football. And then what Joe Gibbs Racing,
4:21
he has led organizations that build a winning culture Jurors
4:24
based on strong values and a deep commitment to family and
4:27
Faith, this investment and partnership, aims to support his
4:31
vision and allow Joe Gibbs Racing to continue.
4:32
Its track record of Excellence long into the future.
4:38
I'm excited man. I mean this to me is and nothing
4:41
but roses. Oh yeah love to hear that man.
4:44
Love to hear. No doubt about it.
4:46
And what do they say? You surround yourself with
4:49
greatness and you will become great and it's you become great
4:53
yourself. So, that's its there, you know
4:56
what I mean? It's in all intertwined up in
4:58
there, man. It definitely is.
5:00
And I just coach would come back and I guess I wouldn't count
5:05
this as a negative because I'm not trying to say anything.
5:07
About Jabs but he defended death Santana Moss to this day.
5:13
Still defends Dan Snyder. Said I owe my career to Dan.
5:17
He brought me here. He paid me and he is loyal to
5:21
Dad. He said I'm still shocked when
5:24
they hear him do interviews and stuff and started comes up.
5:26
He didn't say anything bad about Dan coach Gibbs was the same
5:30
way. He never said anything negative
5:33
about Dan. He just wants to win and I get
5:35
it. He did just want to win but
5:37
there, Is a lot of bad stuff that's still being investigated
5:40
to this day. That's, you know, he may or may
5:43
not have done and some things we know for a fact that he did do.
5:47
Yeah. But no one forced him to Hitch
5:52
his car to Josh Harris. And he was doing this before.
5:56
Harris was a front-runner with buying, the team and Coach
6:00
didn't need to give his Blessing about Harris.
6:05
We all know that he would have come out after the fact.
6:07
Act once the team was sold and help Josh bring the fans back.
6:12
So it's kind of one of those things where, you know, I think
6:14
they say you put your money where your mouth is, he's
6:17
putting his money in his trust within Josh.
6:21
And, you know, we call the last episode, believe a little bit
6:24
because you hadn't seen Ted last over yet.
6:27
Speaking of which have you called an episode No, we'll get
6:33
you there man. It's over now.
6:34
So you got nothing to do but catch up, but yeah, you know,
6:38
Believe It or Not, There were still fans after the episode
6:40
that were saying still. Don't trust it.
6:43
You don't trust it. Now, how about Joe Gibbs, trust
6:46
it. So maybe you should start you
6:48
know, trusting it as well. You guys better?
6:52
I mean well I actually know what I'm not gonna tell you do
6:56
anything. You may be the cloth that you
7:00
don't believe that made his greasy.
7:02
So you know what happens when you Friday bacon it you can have
7:06
an empty pan but it's going to be full of grease.
7:09
So just sit back and watch. Like the song says, don't
7:12
believe me. Just watch.
7:15
Here we are. The sun is rotating around,
7:20
we're there. So, sit back, relax, go ahead
7:26
and get your popcorn ready. Because when it does happen,
7:30
Dead myself, we will be at FedEx, with a bottle of
7:35
something and a cigar picked up. Some, I picked up a case of
7:38
champagne, man, you know, you've already done that.
7:40
Oh yeah, I'm hot. I'm behind the power curve.
7:42
Yeah, you can have some champagne, that's no problem.
7:45
Oh, you'll share the brother good.
7:46
Of course, of course. I like that.
7:48
That sounds good. Anybody else you going to share
7:50
it? With it.
7:51
All depends, man. Where would be getting?
7:53
I've been getting some heat lately so you know, we'll see
7:55
how it goes. Hey, may you always again hate
7:58
bro. I can't sugarcoat it man.
8:01
I just used to be a, I don't want to call blonde home.
8:06
I refuse to let this team piss on my leg and tell me it's
8:10
raining. Okay we if there's something,
8:13
they do that. I'm not a fan of then I will
8:17
call it like I see it. Air it out.
8:20
I got you and there's just been a lot of debates on social
8:23
media, Twitter is a cesspool of hate.
8:27
I think that, you know, especially since Ilan decide to
8:30
change it and you got people impersonating people on here
8:32
now. So it just is what it is.
8:34
But there's someone this fan base that, you know, I get along
8:38
with like you and you know, let's see here.
8:42
Hog farmer, Jeff and a bunch of other guys.
8:44
And there's some of this fan base that for some reason they
8:46
follow me on social media and I appreciate you helping the
8:49
numbers. But all they do is hate on
8:52
everything or put out there. So it just cracks me up.
8:54
Like if you don't like what I'm saying, change the channel.
8:58
I mean there's a million other ones to go to.
9:01
Yeah there's a ton of them out there.
9:03
There's a ton of other you know, people you can follow on Twitter
9:06
but I I could honestly care less.
9:08
It does crack me up though. When I see people saying things
9:11
and not tagging me one that what they're saying, but they expect
9:15
me to just be 100% all-in on this team.
9:18
And back in the day, when I did a TV show where Larry Michael, I
9:22
was at back then, Redskin Park. I couldn't say what I wanted to
9:27
say about the team. You from time to time, you're
9:30
doing a show within those walls and your provided access and
9:35
doing different things. So if I didn't like something
9:40
their coach did or the team did, I kind of just had to ignore it
9:44
to a degree. If someone asked me about the
9:46
different story, but I wouldn't publicly go out and say
9:48
something. It's a different story.
9:50
Now, it's the wild west, when we got it.
9:52
Oh yeah. Here we can talk to.
9:54
Definitely. You're right about that man and
9:56
they appreciate that. I appreciate it.
9:59
And sometimes I have to say that I look at things a little
10:02
differently than you, which you just we do.
10:04
It's the way it's supposed to be, I have my Outlook, you have
10:07
yours, but the beautiful thing about it is, we always come back
10:11
to the middle, some shape form or fashion.
10:14
And I think that our listeners can appreciate that.
10:17
Speaking of which, we actually have some new subscribers on our
10:21
YouTube channel. So, we really appreciate you
10:23
guys doing that. Do us a favor comments on the
10:26
YouTube because we actually saw Saw that the different comments
10:29
the more comments helps us. Get more people directed to the
10:33
page YouTube's got. It's funky analytics.
10:36
The way it does things, we really appreciate you guys, and
10:39
we're hoping that we'll be able to announce a new sponsor coming
10:42
on the next couple of weeks. So stay tuned for that.
10:46
But something else did come up this past week.
10:49
It's kind of a slow season right now in the NFL, not really a
10:53
tongue going on. So a lot of people call It List
10:57
season. Well, cbssports came out with
11:01
the top. 100 NF l-- list. Did you get a chance to take a
11:05
look at this? I had perused the list a little
11:09
bit and I saw one standout that I thought should have been
11:14
higher, but the fact that he's in it, I'm okay.
11:17
So, do you know how many commanders are actually on this
11:20
list? I saw one and when I saw the one
11:24
that I needed to see, I stopped looking how many are so out of
11:29
100? We've got two players on the top
11:32
100 list. That's it.
11:35
No one in whose the neck. So which one do you know?
11:39
I know Terry. Okay, so wait, Tara was number
11:43
68? It says here.
11:44
Can you imagine how good his numbers would be?
11:47
If he played with good quarterbacks the past Four
11:49
Seasons? All he does is produce for an
11:51
offense that has been greatly limited by its quarterback play.
11:56
I agree with that of Terry actually had a real quarterback
11:58
and not someone that throwing the ball with his eyes closed.
12:01
You know he'd be a different store was supposed to saying
12:04
what's he saying? Just Chuck it up there, Terry's
12:06
out there somewhere, Terry down there somewhere, you know,
12:15
whatever. But I just yet the fact that he
12:17
was 68 on this list to me is just disrespectful and I'm
12:24
looking at the overall All numbers from last year, Terry
12:28
doesn't have a ton of passing stats.
12:31
I'm looking at receivers top receivers last year.
12:35
Just looking at overall receptions.
12:38
Yeah, I got to go to page 2. It's a fine Terry, so I get it.
12:42
He's not up there, probably, because we're biased and we see
12:45
everything with burgundy and gold glasses, but you can't tell
12:48
me that there's some of these receivers on this list in the
12:53
60s that are better than Terry. I agree.
12:58
But I think what they're doing is, they're comping it with the
13:02
QB that they have and what was it?
13:04
The first basically, three games, three or four games
13:07
coming here. He wasn't targeted that much.
13:09
So so I mean that that hurts his numbers, you know.
13:13
But Definitely hurts his numbers.
13:17
We've got this year, bro. And we've got, we've got it.
13:20
Well, people also need to understand, is this year, is
13:24
everyone's optimistic because we've got a semi Gunslinger.
13:27
Say, what you want about, how he's not tall.
13:29
Enough chicken nuggets, whatever you want to put the kick and
13:32
throw the ball man. Let's get down to brass tacks.
13:35
The kid can throw the ball. And yeah, I'm calling him a kid
13:37
because he's younger than me. He can throw the ball and I'm
13:40
looking forward to to Really this year.
13:45
Solidify. Hopefully he solidifies what the
13:49
perennial quarterback should be far organization.
13:53
I'm hoping my concern is going out there during many Camp and
13:59
OTAs. He wasn't throwing the Terriers
14:02
much. He was hitting Jahan more and he
14:05
was hitting Diaw me more. So is this a thing where he
14:10
knows Terry's going to be open and he's just trying to work the
14:13
other routes to the other guys, because we know that Terry had a
14:18
rapport with I'm yes. Sam only through 11 balls.
14:25
So there really wasn't a ton. I'll be curious to see how it
14:28
goes in Camp. Are they going right off slow,
14:31
but in game, who did he throw that 40?
14:36
You are passed to. I hear you and I think you know
14:40
as long as he gets a chance actually look deep and go to
14:44
him. I just want to see how Terry is
14:48
going to be used in this offense.
14:50
How is it actually going to work with be enemies?
14:52
Me in his routes and wanted to go on there.
14:56
Because looking at his stats last year, just kind of overall
15:02
he had seventy seven receptions for almost 1,200 yards and five
15:07
touchdowns. So to me, it's disrespectful for
15:12
him to be 68 on that list. Where you got waddle.
15:15
Who is ahead of him. You got Garrett Wilson from the
15:17
Jets, who was a rookie? That's a 63 to me.
15:22
I'm If I'm building a team, I'm taking Terry over Garrett Wilson
15:26
or Jalen wall. Oh, that's just not me being a
15:28
Commander's fan. That's me.
15:30
Just watching the guy play and I don't do fancy football.
15:33
I think I do you place fans, you know?
15:36
Yeah, I don't really want to see.
15:37
I know my hands. I mean, because I stopped
15:40
playing when we played in London because I wasn't able to put my
15:44
line up yet and on game days you know how busy I am.
15:48
I know how busy you are so I can't lose him because I could
15:51
never Check to see if one of my guys was hurt.
15:54
Was he actually going to be a game time decision?
15:57
Yeah, I end up losing that weight so I just stopped playing
16:00
but from a fantasy football perspective maybe that's what
16:03
this list is coming down to because you know, waddle had
16:06
more touchdowns and Terry eight but he had 75 catches, you know,
16:11
it's to me there's not a huge difference so I would rather
16:14
have him over, but the good news is We can see what a true
16:20
offense is going to show because Terry's got other people lining
16:22
up beside where he didn't have a healthy courtesy, a meal.
16:25
And I think part of that, you know, maybe just me being
16:28
superstitious was the fact that Curtis wore number 10 and I
16:32
cannot think of a single person that wore number 10 and it's
16:36
ended up good for them over here in the burgundy and gold.
16:40
Well, yeah, that's that cloud. That hangs over it.
16:44
And so hopefully that can be sure.
16:47
It away because we don't need any back love that.
16:50
I honestly believe that just like how this rain is over us
16:55
right now. Once the t's get crossed and I's
17:00
get dotted bro that you're going to slowly start to see that
17:03
cloud dissipate, you know. I really believe that I'm hoping
17:08
sir. When I mean, he's just he's my
17:11
wife's favorite player, so we got her a McLaren commanders
17:14
Jersey, and did you see the other day?
17:17
He did. A thing, I think it was with the
17:18
boys and girls club, he was giving bikes to all these kids
17:22
in DC. I heard about that, man, just
17:25
seeing some of the videos out there and how happy these kids
17:29
were into me, it's the players like that, that are doing those
17:33
things to give back to this community that you can't help
17:37
but want to support and they're so easy to root for and another
17:42
guy that's easy to root for that was on this list.
17:45
And I was actually shocked to see that he was the only other
17:49
commander on the list other than Terry, guess her, I'll give you
17:53
a hint. It was defense.
17:56
Well I'm going to say I'm not gonna say the wrong pain.
18:00
I will see Jonathan Allen. I would have thought it would
18:03
have been John out. I'm going down this list, and
18:05
looking didn't see John's name. Oh, wow.
18:08
So who was it? This is baseball are so you got
18:11
one strike here? Yeah, two more well.
18:15
Okay, Durant. Ain't now, draw wasn't on the
18:20
list. Top 100, Ron missed it.
18:23
Well, I'll be doggone man. Gosh you self-defense MS.
18:31
So you got nine. Other players.
18:33
Oh my gosh, dude. See wish I have Jeopardy music
18:43
right now. I tell you, I tell you I don't
18:51
know, bro. It's I mean it kind of caught me
18:54
off-guard when I looked at it. You just want me to tell you.
18:57
You want to shoot for one more? Tell me cam cam cam was going to
19:03
be 85. Yep it says here who with a
19:07
question mark? Pay attention this kids
19:10
developed into one of the best young safeties in the game.
19:12
He's good in both the run and against the past.
19:16
I never would have thought that, you know, who blew that up and
19:20
as making a Fathead out of it as he be carrying to the stadium
19:22
alongside on Farmer Chris. Cam's Dad.
19:28
Yes, yeah, I was going there, but but the fact is, I guess I'm
19:33
still kind of just say to myself.
19:35
I'm as you can as, you know, and as our listeners probably could
19:40
tell by the silence, I didn't think that and I never would
19:44
have guessed that at all because I just wouldn't have.
19:48
But the kid is balling out man. And once again, it shows you
19:56
What the new ownership needs to do?
19:59
One of the first things that needs to be done when they sign
20:03
that contract man is, was it movie say?
20:06
Okay, him pay him his money. So, you know, I was gonna say
20:11
maybe Kendall Fuller, or somebody like that.
20:13
I mean, one of the bigger names but I mean Kendall really hasn't
20:15
had that big ol year or stand out every year, like cam has.
20:21
But sometimes they go by big names.
20:24
You know what I mean? So that's why I was going to
20:25
say, The folder now, I was shocked that can made it, but I
20:29
mean, he is one of, in my opinion, one of the top 20
20:32
safeties out there in the NFL and considering where he was
20:36
drafted. I'm trying to remember what
20:39
round he was drafted in. Well, why are you looking at
20:42
that? Something else that I came
20:44
across one of my feeds was wow, Goose they said be on the
20:48
lookout for a wild-goose, man. I know you don't want most.
20:52
Yeah, tweet that it was It was, it was weird man.
20:59
Kind of an issue with wild goose last year and they're saying be
21:03
on the lookout for this kid. So you know, it's one of those
21:07
things man. They're saying Wild Goose, so be
21:10
prepared. I mean, everyone is hyping up
21:13
this defense. My problem was and Karen was the
21:16
seventh round pick, but my problem was everyone hype?
21:19
Sup this defense, but they don't actually watch the games.
21:23
That's the issue I got, because secondary We seem good middle of
21:27
the defensive line, we seem solid the fact that Darren and
21:32
John aren't on the top. 100 list makes no sense to me and it's
21:36
somewhat invalidates the list but maybe that's just me being
21:39
biased because you know we are commanders fans but linebacker.
21:44
I'm not sold on their one linebacker scheme with Jamin
21:48
there and on the ends. Okay, Montez.
21:53
Yeah he can play but what are we To get from Chase.
21:57
And he's a guy that we constantly keep talking about
22:00
considering what he did before, but I don't know how this
22:03
defense is going to be. There was another list that came
22:06
out from Pro Football Focus. It actually had the 2023 NFL
22:11
defensive line rankings. And the commanders were number
22:16
three on that list right behind the 49ers.
22:20
And it says, here, it remains to be seen whether Edge Defender.
22:23
Chase young will still be on the roster when the season kicks
22:26
off. But as things stand, Washington,
22:28
starting defensive line, consists of four, former
22:31
first-round picks. The interior is led by Jonathan
22:33
Allen, who was great, who was great at among the top 20 and
22:36
Terry Defenders for three straight seasons.
22:38
And on the edge, they have Montez, sweat who earned her
22:40
career-high, 86.4 grade that ranked Eighth among players at
22:46
the position last season, doesn't even bother to mention
22:49
to Ron who had his career last year, but Jason got his money, I
22:55
just can't see them. And we talked about it trading,
22:58
Chase it just, it does not make any sense, so that's a happened.
23:02
But to me, that's what's wrong with the national media versus
23:05
people that are actually here locally.
23:07
The national media can't believe in its Sam Howl's qb1.
23:11
But if they understood what was happening here, The fact that we
23:15
don't have ownership in place that they can't spend all this
23:18
cash to do anything and that Rivera is on a Lifeline right
23:21
now. Yeah, it's housing to qb1.
23:23
They're not going to make a big investment with you.
23:24
The last year bringing, once in here.
23:26
Nobody's what do you expect them to do now?
23:29
And as we know that experiment, went bad real quick, real quick,
23:34
man. So, and I'm glad it's over and
23:38
we actually can move on to how I really am and as you It the
23:45
outside media just doesn't know and they're scratching their
23:49
heads but here in the DMV and and if you're true commanders
23:54
fan we it's only that we feel, you know, and we all are hoping
24:00
that it comes first and that that he turns out to be really
24:03
good and I think that he can so somebody sent me something that
24:07
said with, you know, Hopkins, be Hopkins, being available.
24:11
Should we go after him? And I said, well, if we had the
24:14
money to do something, I would rather us not go after Hopkins.
24:19
I'd rather us go after a linebacker or more offensive
24:23
lineman and I kind of got trashed by that.
24:26
But really who, who they'll trust you for that brother?
24:30
I don't see to me, that's a fantasy football person and so,
24:37
you know, my thing is, hey in a more perfect world.
24:40
Yeah, you know, perfect Universe.
24:42
Sure if he falls and Now lap, I take them, but I honestly
24:46
believe that our are receiving Corps is top-notch and we really
24:50
don't meet anyone else, but if he fell in our lap, sure, I take
24:54
them but I see I just I don't want them.
24:58
No, no. I said if he fell in our lap
24:59
even if it's on our lap, even if he somehow found our lap to me,
25:05
there's not enough footballs around.
25:07
Who are you going to sit? I mean, who are you going to
25:10
take out of a lineup? I would rather have Curtis and
25:13
Jahan and Terry in there than Hopkins to me.
25:18
It's a split those guys up. Okay.
25:20
You sit Curtis. You've got this big-ass
25:22
investment in them to bring Hopkins in to do what or I'd
25:26
rather have Logan Thomas out there.
25:28
I'd rather have D. Ami Brown out there is Hopkins
25:31
better than the Ami Brown. Yes, but considering the Ami
25:34
Brown as a draft pick. I would rather do that because
25:37
you still gotta pay. Hopkins.
25:39
So yeah, it does, you know, fall in your lap, he still can expect
25:43
to get paid and I don't know what its debt minimum is, but I
25:46
guarantee is that minimum, which he won't sign for is still going
25:49
to be more expensive than Gianni, and a lot of people are
25:53
saying Kareem hunts out there, doing bring Kareem hunted and I
25:57
just, I don't get the fans that are speculating.
26:00
Let's bring him here just because he played with the Enemy
26:03
to me. We just drafted that kid.
26:05
What? Rodriguez, mmm.
26:08
And we Got a g and we got beer. Ah, we don't need another
26:12
running back. How many running backs?
26:13
You think they're going to bring going into an actual 1500
26:16
53-man. Roster from a crew hum
26:19
perspective, I actually wanted to get your feedback on that.
26:21
You think they should try and bring Kareem here or just go
26:25
with what you got? Once again, I if he falls in our
26:30
left I'll take them if he falls in our lap but I had I'd rather
26:38
ask focus on where it counts. I think that we have enough
26:43
talent to be able to get things done providing The, our linemen
26:50
do what needs to be done and our defense does what it needs to be
26:55
done man. And I know that's a vague and a
26:58
huge, you know, umbrella statement.
27:01
But ultimately that's where I feel.
27:05
As though we dropped off last year, offensive, line, play and
27:09
and, and defense. So if we can sure that up and I
27:16
told you that if I feel you if we can possibly get Get 10
27:19
points, 8 to 10 more points, a game, man, we can turn this
27:24
thing around and the next time that Fox new or not, Fox News,
27:29
but Fox Sports does a show and I say, what do we like to him for?
27:34
I'll be seeing, what do we like for into?
27:37
I'll be able to say that. Yeah, you know, that, you know
27:39
what I mean? And I cry honestly believe that
27:42
it can happen. Now, I'm not gonna be one of
27:44
these guys that's gonna say Super Bowl or, you know,
27:47
undefeated or whatever. Have you?
27:49
I'm not gonna do that because it is the first year with the
27:53
enemy's offense, but at the same time, what we do know is the NFL
28:01
sometimes has a hard time copying new stuff.
28:07
So if he's bringing in something new that that our opponents
28:11
hadn't seen yet, man, it's Limitless.
28:16
What can be done? And I know we gotta crawl
28:18
before. Or we walk.
28:20
But when you look at them Horizon, you're just like, wow,
28:24
okay? This really could be something.
28:27
So, don't let us down. I'm praying to you, don't let us
28:30
down. Let's work.
28:32
This thing out and get eight to ten points, extra that we were
28:38
getting on top of last year's totals.
28:40
To me that. That's a lot to ask.
28:43
We were averaging, 16, 17.8 points per game, - talking about
28:48
averaging 20, almost 28 points per game.
28:51
I'm trying to see who had the most points per game.
28:54
Last year. 2022 was the Chiefs at 29, we're not going to be as
29:01
high scoring as a Chiefs offense, and it ain't happenin,
29:05
man. We're sorry, we don't have, we
29:08
don't have, we don't have Patrick Mahomes.
29:11
I'm just, we don't we don't, but we've got other things that can
29:16
make things. How about this?
29:18
How about five to seven points? Yeah, points a game.
29:22
I lied to me, right there. If you're talking, 22 points a
29:26
game, you know, that puts you up there with the Chargers, I put
29:30
you up there with the Packers and the Giants, guess who made
29:32
the playoffs and we did the Giants.
29:35
So you know, it's just things like that.
29:38
But really it's going to come down to the defense, what can
29:42
the defense do and what can they hold people to?
29:44
Because we had a good defense. I want I say we were top three
29:49
in a couple different categories and it just depends on which one
29:51
you're looking, but I think we are top three and third down,
29:55
but our points per game, opponent points per game was 20
29:59
last year, if this defense can step it up and actually keep
30:03
that lower. I mean, we were ranked 8th in
30:07
opponent's points per game. Top was the 49ers 17 so if the
30:11
defense can step it up and the offense can actually put up a
30:14
little bit more, I think it's going to be closer.
30:17
Names that you hope Sam doesn't give away, but he basically is a
30:24
rookie. I understand, he went through a
30:26
lot, but he said himself, he did not have any time with the ones
30:30
last season. He didn't get a chance to throw
30:32
anything to him until really, that last game against the
30:35
Cowboys, which to me was mouth, practice by Rivera and his
30:39
coaching staff and Scott Turner because Carson Wentz was hurt
30:43
and he was on short-term ir, and he was one hiding.
30:47
Iggy YOLO concussion from getting put in.
30:50
So why not get a chance to give Sam wraps but Sam's finally
30:53
going to have an offseason actually work with these guys.
30:55
So from my standpoint he is a rook because he's learning a new
30:58
system and didn't do a damn thing last year.
31:01
So you're saying to me that you feel it that you're going, I'm
31:05
going offense, you're going defense, you're saying that if
31:08
the defense can step up and do better than we can be better,
31:11
and I'm saying, give us more points.
31:13
Alright, so listeners listeners viewers.
31:17
Yes. You here over at what we're
31:19
saying here. Ted is going defense and I'm
31:22
saying, give us more offense. So we're going to see how this
31:25
plays out. So put it in your calendar and
31:28
see how I'm going to definitely put it in mind, put it in your
31:32
calendar and we're going to see what sways the pendulum whether
31:37
it's going to be more offense. So more defense, we're going.
31:41
So we're going to see what's up. Yeah, I'll be curious to see
31:43
because I hope it's both but he's got a word.
31:47
He says, System. But we also have what scares me
31:49
on the defensive side. We've got a better crop of
31:52
quarterbacks coming to town. This is mmm.
31:54
So that's the issue that we're going to have is playing against
31:58
these guys. Who knows what's going to happen
31:59
to Summer? Third is to going to be around
32:02
when we play the Dolphins. So it's so hard to tell what's
32:06
actually going on. You know we've got Aaron Rodgers
32:08
on Christmas Eve. You know, is Aaron Rodgers going
32:11
to be high in a tent someplace. There's actually to be on the
32:13
field playing for the gents not sure who's going to actually be
32:16
the quarterback for the Miners this year.
32:18
So there's a lot of unknowns but what we gradually, we got two
32:25
defensive ends that need to ball out if they want to get paid in
32:29
Montes. And in Chase, we got cam curl
32:33
who essentially. If they don't extend them is
32:35
playing for a contract. We got a lot of guys that are
32:38
going to be coin-operated a motivated to do some good if
32:43
they actually want to run greet your deals Andre.
32:46
Yeah, on the no offense. We got a lot of young guys.
32:49
So we got to see how that goes other than Logan.
32:51
Got a lot of young guys and we changed 80% of the offensive
32:55
line that is what scares me and like you instead of even if a
33:02
Kareem hunt or a Hopkins Falls in our lap, I want the biggest
33:08
fattest offensive lineman that gets cut to come here and hang
33:12
out here. And even if he's just a body, we
33:15
need more depth at guard. Tackle, just at line in general.
33:20
Yeah, I haven't heard us really making any Splash signings but
33:26
obviously the guys are there, we just don't know about them and
33:31
it'll be cool to see how it shakes out in training camp to
33:34
see, what are our depth chart and our numbers really look like
33:38
in Camp because as we know, man and I don't want to, but that I
33:42
word and we all know it starts with ideas with why it comes up.
33:48
All the time in all 32 squads. So they going to be just picking
33:53
guys, so I'm hoping that we can stay.
33:55
I free and go from there man. I really am.
33:59
And I think I thought it. I think, man that we're going to
34:01
be all right. The Kendrick Lamar and he says
34:04
we're going to be all right. So hopefully so for me it's if
34:10
we do well, because Sam does, well, then I'm happy.
34:16
If the team doesn't do well, then we know what we got,
34:21
because Sam didn't make it. And then you have the cut and
34:25
I'm sorry, I don't think. We're Vera is the coach for this
34:27
team in the future. I think he's living on borrowed
34:30
time dead and Coach walking at this point.
34:33
So hopefully I don't want us to have six friends.
34:39
I don't want us to have seven wins either, we get 10 and we
34:44
make the playoffs or The team doesn't do well.
34:47
And we're actually in running to get a good draft pick because
34:49
there's going to be some strong quarterbacks coming out.
34:51
Next year. I'm not trying to talk about.
34:53
We're back to it to me. I wanted Wentz to play that
34:58
Browns game. Yeah, I was one of the guys that
35:01
actually wanted it because he was still under contract.
35:04
We had to see what he could do. It failed.
35:08
He did horrible, my want to see and I want Sam to get a chance
35:13
to prove. Should he have been a first
35:15
round pick? Or a second round pick.
35:17
Instead of dropping to the fifth round and hopefully we had a
35:20
chance to see that this season like a real chance to see that I
35:23
don't want him running for his life behind a makeshift of lime
35:27
and then you still have question marks going into next offseason
35:30
is Sam. The guy will see you said
35:33
something that kind of it made the hairs on my neck stand up,
35:36
man. So you said that you don't want
35:40
to jinx but but you know, there's a new crop of rookie
35:43
quarterbacks coming in. Well, here's the thing man.
35:46
If Sam does, hypothetically with the bed, you going to just be
35:50
repeating that process all over again.
35:52
Yeah. And there's, there's different
35:54
variables of wetting the bed. Alright.
35:56
If he keeps us in close with games, I'm not going to say get
36:01
a rookie quarterback. I want to say, okay, you saw
36:04
what he can do, get him some more help.
36:07
Because I honestly believe that's going to be the
36:09
Difference Maker. How much help does the?
36:12
Does the guy have realistically? It's got to have weapons.
36:15
He's got a lot of strong position players.
36:18
It's the offensive line, he doesn't happen.
36:20
You go, if you can't get the ball to him, then what good is
36:23
he? What good is anybody, what good
36:24
is he? Another rookie quarterback
36:26
coming in here? If you can't Shore up the line,
36:29
if that is, what is causing us. Our issues are you.
36:34
It's just any coach that comes in here.
36:37
Here is going to want his own guy.
36:40
He wants to Hitch his wagon to his quarterback, I'm sorry.
36:43
It's a vicious cycle. Yeah.
36:45
So what has happened in the past is Shanahan inherited,
36:49
quarterbacks, he did not want Gruden inherited, quarterbacks
36:52
he didn't want Rivera got stuck a quarterback's, he didn't want.
36:56
That's why I did not want us to pick up a free agent quarterback
37:00
going on in this offseason because Rivera is not going to
37:02
be here, unless he takes a Deep Run in the playoffs.
37:06
And if he does then Yeah, that's freaking awesome.
37:08
But if he doesn't, he's going to be gone.
37:10
So, the last thing I wanted and why I'm okay with Checotah
37:13
percents contract is it's a one-year deal.
37:16
When you throw Rivera out then you get a chance to throw all
37:19
these other contracts out and then let the GM whoever it's
37:23
going to be start from scratch and it's going to be in my
37:27
opinion four more years until we can truly compete which socks
37:33
because we're wasting Terry's. Good years then John now.
37:37
Them's, good years and Ron's good years.
37:40
You said four more years. God dog.
37:43
Man, I want to talk like that, bro.
37:45
I also like that. I mean, I'm in it for life to at
37:57
least this year and next year and go from there.
38:01
That's why I need to think about this here.
38:02
Next year, that CI to me, it's next year, Everything changes
38:09
unless we win two playoff games to.
38:14
Yeah, I just I think everything changes up front because
38:19
Rivera's still under contract, you would be a lame duck coach
38:22
at that point. So depending on how he does,
38:26
we'll see, I would love it if we get a chance and Rivera does
38:30
succeed and we go from there. I just don't have a ton of faith
38:34
and that's what I was getting into some of the Twitter beefs.
38:37
Well, some of the people out there, you're the back of your
38:40
baseball card. He is at three winning seasons
38:43
his entire career. He locked box in a drafting Cam
38:46
Newton and only had three. Good Seasons with Cam Newton,
38:51
right? So I'm just going based on track
38:54
with the only wild card is Eric be enemy.
38:59
The problem here is Rivera is picking the players and he's not
39:04
giving the enemy a stacked deck. H-he's handcuffing the enemy
39:09
because he didn't do his best to get a true offensive lime to
39:14
help Sam in this new system. So you play spades never so
39:21
thank you Sam. Would you would you as long as
39:25
you want but would you say that the enemy is in playing Spades
39:31
is being to be the big Joker? Or is he the little Joker?
39:36
I'd say little because he still doesn't control everything.
39:40
He's still. Okay.
39:40
Yeah. You know outvoted by Ron, I mean
39:45
In the draft first round second round.
39:47
You don't think the enemy wanted someone on offense, we have
39:51
taken defensive players in the past how many drafts going DB
39:56
back-to-back? You don't think the enemy would
39:58
have wanted a new tight end and as offense or an offensive
40:03
lineman you think he cringes, huh?
40:05
Well they're the cringe when he loved to have seen Facial
40:14
expressions, close up when that was done and just see if he's
40:17
hit god, dog. It know it.
40:19
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah. Oh I'm sure that there was a
40:23
camera I'm sure it was only the Commander's camera and that
40:26
ain't going to get leaked. No it is but it'll be
40:30
interesting man. I just Having watched the enemy
40:35
out there, a handful of times to turn everything about them.
40:37
I hope he gets a chance to prove all of those other NFL owners
40:42
wrong for not giving him a head coaching job.
40:45
I hope he gets a chance to really show that he is an
40:49
architect, and he wasn't hiding behind Andy, Reid, and his
40:53
shadow, which is a big Shadow and Ron is letting him do what
40:58
he needs to do from an offense perspective out there at
41:01
practice Ron just There, with his arms crossed swallowed.
41:04
His whistle do with not a damn thing.
41:06
The problem is he's not buying organic ingredients.
41:11
He's given be enemy. Some of that great deal on me
41:14
and we'll see how it goes. I mean, Grady meets, what you
41:17
get a Taco Bell. So let's see what happens.
41:22
Hey man, for our for our listeners.
41:25
You can't see this. My fingers are crossed, okay?
