Encore: Being Top 7 (w/ Mina Kimes and Demario Davis) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Our friend Mina Kimes joins us. We always appreciate her time. Mina,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: let's start here.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: What is going on with the Dallas Cowboys? What is happening?
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Man, it's incredible that after all of the changes they
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: made on defense, the trades, the player pickups, the draft picks,
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: two first round draft picks, the coordinator change. They somehow
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: seem worse, which I did not think was physically possible.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: I was just, like, looking at my notes from last night,
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I think what's crazy, too, is, like, sometimes we, like,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: make football really complicated and we talk about, you know, certain, like,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: weaknesses or schematic issues. They literally just look so soft. Soft.
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: The cushions are giving up in coverage, the missed tackles,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: the effort. It's honestly pretty wild to see. And I
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: think every Cowboys fan is especially frustrating given how ripe
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: for taking the division is, right?
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It's interesting because there were no expectations when Schottenheimer took
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: over last year. And this year he came in with
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: pretty lofty expectations. And so I'm wondering, because Jerry Jones
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: was not happy after that game, I'm wondering, do you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: think Schottie's on the hot seat?
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Probably, but also, Jerry Jones, a lot of this is
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: a disaster of your own making from a roster construction standpoint.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: The trading away of Micah Parsons. By the way, which
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: this summer, everybody was like, wow, look at this, look
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: at all the players they got. This is actually a
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: great trade. I was like, what? Micah Parsons, I know
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: he's hurt, but he's one of the three best pass
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: rushers in football. And you end up paying some of
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the players you traded for You're going to pay more
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: than you would have paid Micah Parsons. So it just
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: feels like hustling backwards to me.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Mina, staying in that division between Lane Johnson retiring and
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: Cam Juergens getting traded to Baltimore, when you factor in
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: that it's a defense that feels like they can no
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: longer carry that team, does Philadelphia have enough answers to
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: remain a legitimate contender?
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I do not think so. So I'm on the Sunday
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: pregame show for the international game, Eagles-Jacks.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Yes! Catch.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: 6.30 a.m. NFL Network Pacific. It was 9.30. And I've
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: been doing a lot of game prep, just trying to
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: come up with answers for Philadelphia, ways that the underdog
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: can pull it off. And I am hard-pressed on offense
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: to come up with any solutions for what we're seeing
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: right now because of the offensive line. I think the
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: defense will play better. They're playing below their talent level.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Vic Fangio defenses tend to get better as the season
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: goes along. And that should be, at minimum, a top-seven
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: defense in the league. Seven. What a random arbitrary number.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I've done it before.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: I was like, my thought process was like five.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Don't want to say 10.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Let's just go with seven.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Right in the middle.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Nobody can hold you accountable for seven. But the offense,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: like the line is just a disaster. And I think
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: what we've seen with Hurts, and I feel pretty comfortable
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: saying this, is he is the type of quarterback where
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: offensive line play really matters. And I know people are like,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: that's every quarterback. Some quarterbacks is more than others. That's
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: all I'm saying. And I think for him, he does
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: need that protection. Also the competent run game, which they
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: don't have.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, I have to be honest with you. You
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: predicted that Trevor Lawrence would win the MVP. I laughed
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: at you when you said it. I did, but I'm
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: not laughing anymore because we have been making jokes around
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: here with Chris Sims, asking him every single week for years.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Is Trevor Lawrence any good? He's really good. I mean,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not certain your prediction will come true, but he
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: is really good.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Is Sims a Lawrence guy? I know he's not a
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Hertz guy.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: No, he's a Lawrence guy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Lawrence guy.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: All right. Good.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Meeting of the minds because I love Trevor Lawrence. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: loved him last year. Loved what I saw in the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: second half of the season. And I loved what I've seen.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: I've loved what I've seen. You know, obviously it's continued
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: into the first quarter of this season. He's just so
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: aggressive and confident right now, throwing into tight windows over
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the middle of the field. You know, I think the
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: scheme is really good. The run game looks better, but
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: he is the engine of it. He's been awesome.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: Mina, how much is it bothering you to watch Kenneth
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: Walker in Kansas city? Just absolutely run away with the MVP.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Mikey. Hey, it's so funny.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I texted her about that because they're three in one
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: without him. I'm so confused about Kenneth Walker.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: It's really a testament though, to like running, like why
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: let him walk. Even I do think I would feel
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a lot better if their first round running back was
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: contributing more and he got hurt. So I don't want
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to like put that on him, but like, A couple
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, he fumbles in the first play and they're
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: just like, nah, you're not going to get the ball again,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: which is like, you know, whatever. But like the Seahawks
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: cannot run the ball very well right now. And it's
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: similar to the first half of last season. And that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: going to hurt them against certain opponents, including San Francisco.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: They play this weekend because I think San Francisco's weakness
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: is run defense. And I just don't know if Seattle
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: can take advantage of that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: I mean, it seems like the consensus between the better
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: player between David Bailey and Arvel Reese was going to
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: be whichever one the Jets didn't draft. Four weeks in,
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: is it already starting to look like the Jets got
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: that decision wrong?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: It's way too early, I will say.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's the Jets, right? But they don't get the benefit
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: of the doubt.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I know, they definitely don't. And they're very different players, too, right?
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: So with Bailey, obviously, you're bringing him in to get
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: after the quarterback, and you want him to improve in
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that regard. But Reese, to me, you're already seeing the versatility,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the tackling, the instincts. He's such a good player. He
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: was my favorite defensive player in the draft. And, yeah,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: he looks awesome, honestly, through the first few weeks. But
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not giving up on David Bailey. It's still early.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Well, Jeff Vanteth. We've been making fun of the Vikings here.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: They're 4-0. They're undefeated. Every team would love to be 4-0.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Are they any good?
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Do you guys know where the Vikings' offense ranks so
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: far in yards per play? Just guess.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: 31? I'm going to say 20.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: 31.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: I'll guess what, Mikey?
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: 32, baby.
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: I had the Dolphins.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I know, but you have to play the game with Mina.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You got to say top 10 or something like that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Top 7.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: 28 to 30. The Dolphins offense at least does occasional
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: fun things, right? Yeah, the Vikings offense has just been,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: even with Kyler Murray back, I think the hope is
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: that as he gets his sea legs, you do see
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: glimpses of... potential there in terms of him pushing the
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: ball downfield i thought in the second half he looked
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: better but uh for me to take them seriously not
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: in the division but as a competitor you just need
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: that offense to be average right because the defense is
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: obviously top three in the nfl.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Uh mina how should brown fans they're how should brown
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: fans they're three in one i understand most fans are
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: selfish they want their own feel good that's what they
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: care about most But how should Brown fans be cheering
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: for this team, considering who the guy is that's playing
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: quarterback for that team?
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Well, you have a feel-good story in Cleveland, which is
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: the young players look awesome.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: And when you draft a quarterback next year, it's going
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: to be an actually good situation. So that's the feel-good story.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: And by the way, whenever I say that, people are like, well,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: they're going to keep Deshaun, not for $ 200 million, which
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: is how much they would owe him because of all
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: the shenanigans in the past. And so anyways... And he's
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: been fine. He's been up and down. I think like,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: for example, obviously in the Thursday night game, he had
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: a really good first half and a really bad second
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: half and it didn't kind of matter. But I think
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: when I watched them, the thing that jumps out to
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: me is just the two receivers they drafted look awesome.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: They're really good at getting yards after the catch. They
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: have the second, actually they rank first in the NFL
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: in yards after contact, which I think speaks to the
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: nature of the offense, which doesn't ask Deshaun to push
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: it downfield very much. And then defensively, a lot of
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: the young players look good too. Verse looks great, obviously
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: a big player to the Miles Garrett trade. So this
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: is a fun young team. It would be a fun
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: story this year, I think, from an underdog perspective, if
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: not for the quarterback. But if you're a Browns fan,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: I think you can compartmentalize a little.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Mina, four weeks in, it feels like we still have
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: no idea what to make of this Raiders team. How
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: is Kirk Cousins pulling this off? Because he was terrible
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: in Atlanta.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I love him.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: When he, on the play against Kansas City... Because, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: when I watch, like, sometimes an older quarterback, like an
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, I'm like, eh, you know, his ball's coming
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: out fast, he doesn't want to get hit, whatever. Kirk Cousins,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: my thought process, if you show me a good Kirk
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Cousins stat line, I'm thinking not pressured, ball out quick,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: zone coverage, picking it apart, smart, obviously played a long time,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: he's pretty accurate. But that's not what happened. He was
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: making throws under pressure, like rolling out, extending, like that
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: makes no sense.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's sustainable. The offense is extremely
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: well designed. Tight ends are obviously awesome. The line is
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: playing well. And then I think a lot of the
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: additions they made on defense are good, too. You know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: it could be Dean's been balling. Crosby looks great. So
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: they're definitely like a legit team. I don't have them
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: as like a Super Bowl contender in the top tier
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: of the AFC, but they they are a hard out
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: What do you do with the Falcons here? Because I've
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: been telling the guys I could see this team winning
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: that division, making a deep run.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: They just needed a competent quarterback.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Now they have one in Michael Penix and they've averaged
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: 40 a game since he came back.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah i think um well first of all it absolutely
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: can win this division yes right yes is the nfc
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: south better than the nfc east i kind of think
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: so now i.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Say it that's a very good question nfc.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Well we love bryce young here yeah yeah but jackson
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: we love.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Bryce young we are big tyler shuck fans I'm more.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Bryce Young nowadays.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: And the Bucs are back in it.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Shuck boy or a young pup. I like them both.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: They're both, by the way, the Atlanta Falcons, those guys
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: are all like, we were talking about the Browns. you
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: really can root for all of them. Like what a great,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: like panics.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, nice young.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, like what a great story. Tide shock. Oh, like you're,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: they're really likable. Um, yeah, the Falcons, the Falcons. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: here's the thing about the Falcons. Uh, the office has
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: been awesome. I really want to see if they could
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: play from behind because right now it's Bijan and then
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: play action, right? What happens if you take that off
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: the table? I'm interested in seeing the quarterback and the
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: passing game in those circumstances, but, Thus far, I mean,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: who cares? You don't have to play from behind if
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: you're scoring at will, and that's what they've been doing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: And then the more surprising thing to me is the
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: pass rush. I thought it would be cheeks, and they're
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: getting after it. The defensive tackle, the defensive line has
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: been really good. That, to me, is probably the most
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: shocking part, more so than even Penick's.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: After one of the most embarrassing losses, is it all
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: over for Aaron Glenn?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Please tell Mikey it's so. Please.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: I kind of think it was regardless, Mikey. Like, you know,
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the offense showed some fun.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's really struggled. Clock management issues. Like, it's been.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Because sometimes you're like, how much do I blame the coach? Right.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: But there's been multiple instances already this season where you're like,
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: what are you doing, dude? And his side of the
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: ball is not. playing well, the defense. So I do
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: think it's funny because I thought Bowles was going to
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: be the first man out, but he had cardiac Bowles.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: He came back.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: I love it when he looks happy.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: He's two games under 500 with a box.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: He's still the coach. He's been there for five years.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: He's just great. He's cute.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: He's adorable. I do not think Aaron Glenn is going
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: to be the Jets coach next season.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: Mina, after that win at Buffalo, where's your level of
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: concern with Drake May and this Patriot offense?
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I think that he'll be fine. I think you saw
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: against Buffalo a lot of improvement in terms of just
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: his confidence. I think what was cool about that game
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: was that he was pushing the ball downfield, throwing in
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: tight windows, even everything that's transpired before that game in
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: terms of the interceptions, some of the bad decisions. He
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: did not look like a quarterback who was like cowed
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: by it. I think that's really cool. I think getting A.J.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Brown back is going to be massive, though, for that offense.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: And I think it looks like he'll be back, I think,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: week six or something, if not next week, the week after.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: But it's a really, really I think losing him was
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a bigger deal than people thought.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: The Mina Kime show featuring Lenny. Tell Lenny I said hello. Plus,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you can check her out pregame for Eagles and Jags
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: this Sunday. I'm so excited for you that you're doing that.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: That's so awesome. Last question here on the way out
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: for you, Mina. What the hell is going on with
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the Chargers? What is happening?
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, God. It's a disaster. Hey, there's a sneaky hot seat.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Jim Harbaugh.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: No one talks about. He's made some.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I mean. Yeah. Right.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: When you're the CEO head coach like this is you, dude.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: And it's everything.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: It's it's pretty rough out there.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 13:05
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: The great Herbert to or roars.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: You remember those? Yes. And now it just feels like
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: there's no winners right now.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, Nina, you have all these massive platforms. You
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: drive NFL conversation like nobody else. Why don't you start
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that with Jim Harbaugh? He should be on the hot seat.
• 13:19

  Speaker 1: At every home game this season, DeMario Davis, who's going
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: to join us in just a second, is honoring a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: local community organization and providing.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: A $ 5, 600 grant, a nod to his number 56 jersey
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: via his Devoted Dreamers Foundation. And Demario Davis is with
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: us right now. Tell us, and the Davis Fund, by
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the way, tell us about the foundation. And thank you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: for joining us, man.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: It's an honor.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: Man, first, thank you guys for having me on.
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: Secondly, thank you for honoring the project that we get
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: a chance to do through our foundation.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: My wife and I get a chance.
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: To come back home, come back to New Jersey, come
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: back to the team that drafted us. So in our homecoming,
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: we wanted to do something special with our foundation. So
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: much of us and the way that we operate is, man,
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: how do we do something bigger than the game. We
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: don't want the game to be the greatest thing that
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: we do. We want to be able to use this
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: humongous platform that we've been given, to whom much is given,
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: much is required, to do incredible things. And so how
• 19:54
  Speaker 7: can we do something to honor other people who are
• 19:56
  Speaker 7: doing great work? And that's what we've done over the
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: next eight games. We have the devoted Changemaker grant. And
• 20:05
  Speaker 7: there's going to be given fifty six hundred dollars and
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: recognizing these amazing organizations who are doing this.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: These great things.
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: Two weeks ago, three weeks ago, we were at home.
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: We got a chance to honor the Boys and Girls
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Club of Newark. Nice game. We play Cleveland. We'll be
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: able to honor them. teens of color abroad.
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: And this is a great nonprofit that gets to take
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: kids on cultural global exchange programs, teach them about learning
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: different languages. So it's really great work that they do.
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: So we've just been trying to find and honor organizations
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: that are in New Jersey, that are in New York,
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: that are doing great work.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: How do we celebrate them?
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: And not only will we celebrate them and honor them
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: with the grant, we'll also take them through a leadership
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: cohort to pour into them and how they're leading in
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: their roles, making sure that they have resources around them
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: to sustain their work, to grow their impact. And it's
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: just about honoring those who are doing great work. And
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: so we are blessed to be able to be a blessing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: You know, I was thinking about this. It is great work.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And I love that you follow through. It's not just, hey,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: here's $ 5, 600. We're going to keep an eye on you
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and make sure... that everything is okay. But I was
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: thinking about this on my drive in as a lifelong
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Jets fan.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: And Mikey is also with the Expo hat on. He
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: is also a lifelong Jet fan. This is your third stint.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: You can't quit the Jets and the Jets can't quit you,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: DeMario Davis.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: Coming back this time was so purposeful. It was the
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: only time actually that I had a say in the matter.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: The first time I was drafted here, the second time
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: I was traded back. This time, I was in free
• 21:45
  Speaker 7: agency and I had I had options and it was
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: a choice to come back here. It was very purposeful
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: in the decision. Honestly, I believe I was meant to
• 21:53
  Speaker 7: be here. And there was no no more important time
• 21:56
  Speaker 7: to me to come back.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Especially with A.G. leading the ship.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: Someone that I had a chance to be around my
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: entire career that I learned a lot from.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: No better man, I think, to lead us in this time.
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: And so it was very purposeful in coming back. And man,
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: being able to come into the locker room and be
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: welcomed in by the guys and be a part of
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: what's being built here.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: It's just been incredible.
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: And so definitely into the throes of it now. And
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: that's what it matters the most is, man, now we
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: are here in the ring and we get to it
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: and love our group and love the way we battle.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Mario, you mentioned Aaron Glenn and the numbers aren't great.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: So can you tell us? from the inside of the
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: locker room, why is he the guy to lead us
• 22:38
  Speaker 6: back to a place that we haven't been in almost
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: two decades, the playoffs?
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Well, that's what you've got to think about.
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: Okay, it's been a lot of people who've led, that
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: have been at the helm for, as you said, multiple
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: decades trying to get to that place. Well, we all
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: know what the standard is. We all know that the
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: Jets is a premium product. We have to get that
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: winning standard there on the field on Sundays.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: We've got to get to it. And it's a very
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: hard thing to do. Very hard thing to do.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Well, you're looking at a man who's been through that
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: and knows what it looks like. This is exactly what
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: happened in a really good team that we went against
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: a couple of weeks ago in Detroit. They had to
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: go through that process. That first year, they lost a
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: bunch of games. That next year, they started, I think,
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: 1-6 or 1-7. Not that that's the story that we
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: want to go, but Once they figured out and got
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: those wins going, then next season they won like 14
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: games or something like that. So that's the model that
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: we want to make sure that we're following in. Man,
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: when you're inside the building, I've been on teams that
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: have gone to conference championship games. I've been on teams
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: that lost games. Every game is except one in my career.
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: So I've seen the highs and the lows. And it's
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: really about the type of locker room and the belief
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: that's in there. You have to have a couple of
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: things or three things specifically. You have to have many
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: of your locker room that are resilient. When adversity hits
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: people who are going to go to fire, going to
• 24:01
  Speaker 7: go to bat, they're going to get into it.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: They're not going to crack.
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: And that's where you look at the Jets. And I
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: don't know what has been in the past. I was
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: on my early years. It was a really good locker room.
• 24:13
  Speaker 7: I speak very highly of those guys. Those are guys
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: I learned from Antonio Camardi, Darrell Revis, Nick Mangold.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: It was some guys, and the Rex was leading it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: But when you look at this locker room, this locker
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: room isn't going to crack. It's not going to be
• 24:27
  Speaker 7: a bunch of finger pointing. It's not going to be
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: a blame this, a blame this, a making excuses. Guys
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: are going to be accountable. They're going to say, hey,
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: we need to fix this and let's go. And that's
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: what you want. You need men that are resilient. Another
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: thing that you need is a strong work ethic, the
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: work that you're putting in during the week. Man, we
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: are preparing the right way during the week. What we're
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: working on is getting over that hump on Sundays. How
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: do we make sure our preparation translates on Sundays? How
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: do we make sure that we don't beat ourselves on Sunday?
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: That's what we're working towards. That's that next step. We
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: stop beating ourselves, we're going to get over that hump.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: And lastly, you just have to have belief. You have
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: to have everybody in the locker room that's believing upstream.
• 25:06
  Speaker 7: And that's what everybody is. Everybody's on the same page.
• 25:08
  Speaker 7: Anybody ducking their head in this three-game skit, everybody's like, hey, man,
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: let's just keep going. We're going to keep going straight ahead.
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: And when you've established that, that's a culture. And when
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: you talk about that doesn't just happen with one person
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: thinking that way, with a few coaches thinking that way,
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: with just the headband, this has to be established. And
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: that was actually built before I arrived. I noticed that,
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: that the culture was different day one when I got here. So, yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: it was a trying year for the Jets last year.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: But I noticed there was something different about the culture.
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: And now we're in the adversity. Hey, man, this team
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: is built for it. And we're going to keep marching
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: until we knock down that wall.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: And that's what we're doing. We got a home game
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: this week.
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: I guess a hot Cleveland Brown team, you get one win,
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: it changes everything. And that's what we're trying to do, man.
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: It's just, let's make sure we execute on Sunday. Let's
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: put the work in again this week.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: And then we get out there on Sunday. Let's find
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: a way to execute.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Love that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: DeMar, if we talk to you at the end of
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: the season and the season did turn around, what, what
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: do you think would have changed?
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: I don't think anything would have changed about our process.
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: We always believe we, we, we never waver.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: We never doubt it. And that's, that's when you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: you have the right process.
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: Um, When it's like, man, the storm will come because
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: I've been on teams that were high, I've been on
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: teams that were low, and teams that were low that
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: came back high.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: I was a part of it all, especially in New Orleans.
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: That's why I was so excited to come here because
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: I believe my journey had prepared me to be here
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: and be one of the leaders in this moment.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Into how do you move forward?
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: Move us into making sure that our winning on the
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: field matches the rest of our brand.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: We are an elite brand, and we need to play
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: like it. How do we get there? When you're talking
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: about moving an entire culture, they're.
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: Establishing that winning mentality when you haven't had it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: That's a very hard thing to do. But so much
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: of it is there.
• 26:57
  Speaker 7: And what you want to have is your process right,
• 26:59
  Speaker 7: that you can endure the storm. Because when adversity hits,
• 27:03
  Speaker 7: everybody wants to try to attach history.
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, here we go again. Oh, this is the negative. No, no, no, no.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: We're going straight.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: We had a process that we believe in. Let's keep going.
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: And you keep going, you keep going. And when that opportunity,
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: that moment strikes, like you think about last game, it
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: was a rough.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Game, but we had our moments to strike. And we
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: missed those moments.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: As a team that's growing, we're going to learn how
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: to win those moments. When we get a ball inside
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: of a 30, let's get them. Or we got 30
• 27:33
  Speaker 7: and five in a crucial moment in the game, let's
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: get off the field. We've pinned them deep. Let's keep
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: them down here. When we have those moments to strike,
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: we got to do it. And that's what we're working towards.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: So I love our process. And that's what we're doing.
• 27:43
  Speaker 7: We're working towards getting those moments on Sunday.
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: And we're right there.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: DeMario, I have to say this on behalf of Mikey A,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of all Jet fans. I've never felt better being a
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Jet fan. I just wanted to say I love you, man.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I love you. I do. I love you. That's it.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: I love the attitude. You mentioned your journey. Your journey
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: did take you to new Orleans. You were there, I think,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: you know, six, seven seasons. And so I'm wondering, you know,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: what last night meant to that city.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: You love new Orleans.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering how emotional that was for you watching that.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I know you weren't there for the game with Gleason,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: but you still spent a good portion of your career there.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: In New Orleans. Was that emotional for you last night
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: watching that game?
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely. New Orleans will always be like a second
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: home to me. This is my home. This is where
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: it all started, but that will always be like a
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: second home.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: When I talk about a city that took my family
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: in and embraced us and showed us so much love, man,
• 28:43
  Speaker 7: be forever indebted to that.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Always have a lot of love for that city, man.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: That was such a huge moment.
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: Loved the way the NFL covered and captured that moment
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: of the 20th anniversary of the dome coming. what that
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: meant for the city to be able to come back,
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: how much it had to go into, man, a city
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: losing essentially everything. And, man, that place essentially being a
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: sanctuary for most, it was a shelter for a lot
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: of people in that time after Hurricane Katrina and then
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: not being able to play in the stadium, the team
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: going away and them fighting to get that stadium reopened
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: and what it meant for them to be there.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: And the way they honor Steve Gleason, he's a legend
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: down there.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Man, playing the Falcons, special team play, change the game
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: um and what he's done in in his condition with
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: als and how he's been a champion of that that's
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: the type of people that's there that's the type of
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: resiliency that's there in that city.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, the team didn't come away with the win.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: I know they would have loved to get that, but
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: it was so much to honor that I thought they
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: did an incredible job.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Shout out to the league and how they covered that.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: A little change up here. Better Food City, New Orleans
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: or New York? That's a tough one, man. It really is.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: You're going to make an enemy today. Listen, I have
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: spent some time in New Orleans. That food is delicious, man.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: It is delicious, man. But up here, too, you know,
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: it has its specials, man.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: It depends on what you're going for.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: If you want to go Italian.
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: If you want some extra seasoning deep.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: South, no question, go to New Orleans. It just depends
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: on what you're looking for, man. You got options.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: DeMario, I have a rational confidence when it comes to
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: things that I think I could do, and I was
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: watching the Bears and you guys with your goal line
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: stands where they have first and goal from the one,
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: and you guys held them out for four straight plays.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: The average person... How many times could I score from
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: the one-yard line running behind an NFL line?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: DeMario, let me say this, okay? He looks like an
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: average person, but like yourself, he was a track star.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: He went to North Carolina, and he walked onto the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Carolina football team. He's a decent athlete. That's all I'm
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: telling you before you answer.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I like you. I like you down there, man.
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: I think firstly, man, that was incredible because that was
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: the opening drive of the game. They had drove all
• 31:06
  Speaker 7: the way down the field and they had made some
• 31:08
  Speaker 7: explosive plays, which we don't like to give up. But
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: in that moment, it really just kind of talked about
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: something that what coach had challenged us, our red zone
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: effort and making sure that we're able to get off
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: the field when we get down there, just as being
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: a don't break mentality.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: And so that was good, man.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: I think we ended the day like two of seven
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: in the red zone, which was something that we wanted
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: to work on during the week.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: And we showed up just it really speaks to our progress.
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: But man, you get in the game and get behind
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: the offensive line, man.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: It just depends on who on the other side, brother.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: What if he had Rashard as fullback? Do you think
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: he could get in? I mean, what do you think?
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: And that's a good one. That's a good one, man.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: For him, bro, you got to go low.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Go low.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: DeMario, the problem would be is you would hit me
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: one time and I think I would quit.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: We all would. Yes. Duh.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: But if you get in there, man, you can live
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: with that forever.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Mike.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: DeMario, real quick, last one for me on the way out.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Hardest person in the NFL to tackle.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, wow, wow.
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: That's a good one.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: You know who's really tough, not necessarily to tackle, but
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: to get to is B.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: John Robinson.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, man.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: No kidding. Yeah.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: He was good last night, man.
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: You mess around and let that brother get two, three
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: steps on you. It's night-night. He's a challenge. And Gibbs, Gibbs,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: both of those, they have elite speed.
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: And for a running back, if they can break a
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: tackle or two or catch the ball and they're in space,
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: that elite speed, man, they're in the end zone before
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: you know it.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: So that makes it very challenging.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: DeMario, we appreciate it, man. Listen, I'm honored that you're
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: representing the Jets.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you, brothers.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: May y'all be blessed.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: Yes. One more time, though, on the way out, if
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't mind, promote Devoted Dreamers Foundation and the Davis Fund.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Real quick.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, man.
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: Everybody stay tuned for the Devoted Changemaker Grant. We'll be
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: honoring different organizations in the tri-state area, Jersey and New York,
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: that are doing great work, working with young people. We
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: got a chance to honor the Boys and Girls Club
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: of Newark. We get a chance to honor teens of
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: color abroad. If you know of any organizations, make sure
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: you let us know. We want to make sure we
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: recognize and represent those who are doing the great work, man.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: It's just those who are doing work. And continue to
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: encourage those who are doing work as well. It's all
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: We appreciate it.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do this more often before you retire
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: and take all our jobs.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: But thank you, Demario Davis. We appreciate it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: See you, man.
