"Rock the Vote" episode 191 · DMV Mess Hall

0:00
This is Will Montgomery, former Washington Redskins center.
0:04
Y'all what's good, folks? This is Trey Johnson, the
0:07
headbanger, y'all, and you're listening to Mess Hall with
0:09
Rally Captain and Tailgate Ted. What's going on, Rally?
0:14
I'm liking the new Get out man. Hey, you, you.
0:18
You see this, right? You see this?
0:19
You got to dust that off your chest, man, Off your shoulder.
0:23
You know what I mean? You got a.
0:25
Little Savage Jersey. Yeah, yeah, even though it's on
0:28
backwards, but I, I purposely bore backwards so that people
0:31
could see, you know, fan of the year.
0:33
I'm, I'm proud of this so and I'm hoping that you guys are
0:37
proud for me as well. You should be a dude.
0:40
You should be. You could actually walk around
0:41
Spain like that, where they're just backwards.
0:43
Everyone knows when they see you coming.
0:45
I would put it on the regular way to it and I don't know, I, I
0:49
don't know how to wear it in Spain.
0:50
I, I, I don't know yet. I'm still trying to figure out
0:52
what, what my get UPS going to be.
0:53
So we'll figure it out. So I know you've got the chain.
0:58
How fast can we get a fan of the year below the West on the
1:02
chain? Not going to happen.
1:05
No, you want to adjust that. No, not going to happen.
1:09
Yeah, I, I, I think. Those those Pandora bracelets,
1:13
right? The women just add those little
1:14
different charm to those bracelets.
1:16
It's the same thing. No, no, I don't believe I'm
1:19
going to mess with the chain at all.
1:21
I don't blame you. And also don't let anyone else
1:23
wear it. I think it's bad luck.
1:25
It did crack. I think we were in Kansas City
1:27
and someone was asking you how heavy that thing was and they
1:30
they touched it and I'm thinking they gave us some bad juju when
1:33
they touched it. But then they were so shocked at
1:35
how light that thing. Is yeah, people think that my
1:39
neck muscles are just the strongest in the world.
1:41
And I'm like, wait a minute, this thing is light, you know it
1:45
doesn't. Look like it, man.
1:47
It doesn't look like it. No, it, it looks heavy as hell
1:50
when you're walking up. I mean, it's massive, so.
1:52
Bro bro I'd be leaning over about that was the case.
1:56
Be all discombobulated. I mean, you are a big dude,
1:59
right? So I, I can see, you know, you
2:02
just, I think it was, I can't remember what movie it was, but
2:04
the guy's just, he's got like a chain around his forehead and
2:09
he's doing like lifts with his neck, just trying to work his
2:12
neck muscles out. So I envision that's what you do
2:15
when you're not doing SP event stuff or, you know, traveling
2:18
all over the country. Let me go ahead and put that
2:20
room at the rest right now. Now last time I did that was was
2:24
was football when we had a strengthen our neck muscles and
2:26
we did have the machine that do your your necks up and back,
2:30
left and right. But now, Nope.
2:32
Those days are over. Yeah, I.
2:34
Remember having to do that with helmets back in the day and
2:36
someone just pushing on side while you're pushing back on him
2:39
and that was just always a pain man.
2:41
And those helmets were heavy back in the day.
2:44
Yeah, man. But Congrats again man.
2:46
So those who don't know, the NFL fan of the year voting has
2:52
opened so each team itself has its own fan that was submitted.
2:58
There's actually a couple teams that have multiple people that
3:02
were submitted. Looks like it's a husband and
3:05
wife couples so I'm thinking Misses Rally got gypped on her
3:10
side by side nomination with you.
3:13
Since she. She's, you know, a big piece
3:16
behind the scenes doing stuff. But it does crack me up because
3:19
I do see a husband and a wife on the like the Bucks got a, you
3:23
know, this guy and his wife Joanne.
3:24
It could be his sister. I have no idea, but they got the
3:26
same last name. Same thing for the Dolphins.
3:29
The Dolphins picture actually has a some dolphin Nets maybe in
3:33
the background. I don't know.
3:35
Oh, they got some people. There might be some dolphin.
3:38
Yeah, those are some dolphin Nets in the background.
3:40
So all right, we might have to ask the commanders to step your
3:43
picture up and get major Tuddy or the command force in the
3:46
background with you. Well, I tell you, I was
3:49
surprised to see that they actually picked my think pink
3:54
chain and as well as, you know, I was surprised at that because,
4:00
you know, I expected burgundy and gold, but hey, it's all
4:02
good. Well, if you look at it, it just
4:04
says F you cancer on your get up there.
4:09
So people can kind of just assume at that point.
4:12
So I'm actually surprised that they chose to go with that one
4:16
too. But it's a great picture.
4:18
And those wondering, right, the reason why this happens is now
4:23
all 32 of those fans or 32 teams fans go up against each other in
4:30
a battle Royale for ultimate NFL fan of the year, right?
4:35
So the voting started today and you guys can vote as many times
4:41
as you want, as much as you can actually just sit there and go
4:44
on and click. I know you know, a bunch of us
4:47
are furloughed and don't got anything to do right now.
4:50
So I'm going to make sure we send this out on socials and
4:54
going to make it super easy. There's going to be literally a
4:57
video that's going to walk you through it just says vote here,
5:00
you vote here, you submit your e-mail address, make sure you
5:04
click in for rally, obviously, and you can vote multiple times.
5:08
It's not just one time, It's not just five times.
5:10
It's not just per household, right?
5:12
It's as many times as you want to vote.
5:14
It's just like a Pro Bowl voting, right?
5:16
And they're going to add that up and that person gets to be the
5:20
fan of the year presented by Captain Morgan, which is just
5:23
something that I feel you deserve, brother.
5:25
And I'm, I'm hoping that our listeners and the Burgundy and
5:28
Gold family gets behind it. Same here and for everyone who
5:32
did both me thank you again. I greatly appreciate it And and
5:35
this is like Ted said, this is just the the next step of the
5:38
journey for the ultimate fan of the year.
5:42
So if you want to say that because I look at it like this,
5:46
we all are super fans in some shape, form or fashion.
5:49
I just happen to be more visible.
5:51
But but we all are super fans and we all care for the team.
5:54
We all want the team to do well. And so I look at it at each one
5:58
of you is responsible for me having this jersey.
6:04
Oh, Amen. Right.
6:05
It just, I know people voted for both of us, right?
6:08
And I just appreciate them doing that.
6:11
And there are a ton of people that you know, hog farmer, you
6:15
know, he's not a hog farmer anymore, but Jeff who former hog
6:17
farmer, right? I just he was another person I
6:19
know that had his name on the running.
6:21
And there's so many people. It's just bum that only one, if
6:25
not two people apparently if you're married, can be up for
6:28
it. I mean, I'd be crack me up if it
6:30
was, you know, two guys in the stadium that don't even know
6:33
each other that were both nominated.
6:35
But the voting goes until February, like right by the
6:39
Super Bowl, because all the fans of the year get invited to go to
6:43
the Super Bowl. We talked about the last show
6:45
and it's just, it's awesome. So imagine someone from the
6:49
Burgundy and gold wrapping all of us on that national stage,
6:54
right? I just, This is why I'm asking
6:56
you guys. This is me asking, not even
6:58
rally asking. Vote, vote, vote multiple times
7:02
and let them know that our fan base, some of them must have
7:06
been dormant for a while, but not rally, right?
7:09
I know a lot of you guys haven't been, and we're back.
7:11
Regardless of how the team's doing this year, we're back.
7:14
And what a better way to put it than actually having him win
7:18
that ultimate prize. Yeah, that's true, man.
7:21
And it goes back to my trademark saying, you know, you RIP it
7:24
hard or don't RIP it at all. And, and and that's just not for
7:28
football. It's a way of life, it really
7:29
is. And no matter what you do, put
7:31
your best foot forward and, and, and go forward as hard as you
7:35
can because at the end of the day, no one's going to judge
7:39
you, but you'll be able to judge yourself.
7:40
Did you do the right thing? Did did you go put the best foot
7:43
forward? Did you go hard?
7:45
That's how I look at it. People always ask me, well, how
7:47
do you come over a bit hard? Don't be at all.
7:49
That's how I came up with that. So you're hearing it first on
7:53
the DMV mess hall. And Speaking of repping it hard,
7:56
I'm going to ask you guys for a favor.
7:59
I need you guys to review the show.
8:02
We see you guys listening. I see all the analytics on the
8:06
back end. All everyone likes talking about
8:07
nowadays is analytics. Everything else, if you guys
8:11
review the show, it helps us out even more.
8:13
So whatever platform you're listening on, do us a favor,
8:16
leave a review, share it out. It just helps us get the more
8:21
spots and it just helps us grow the show even more from there,
8:24
right? And definitely does.
8:26
Like I said, being out in Kansas City meeting so many people
8:28
going to Madrid, right, coming up, knowing that a bunch of you
8:32
guys listen to the show or asking questions, right?
8:35
I told him just listen to the pod this week and we're going to
8:37
answer some of your questions, right?
8:39
I'm asking you for a. Favor You're still going to
8:41
Madrid, Ted. I'm still going, Of course I'm
8:43
going, man, I couldn't. I know some people were in their
8:46
feelings, right? And I, I replied.
8:50
I didn't do it justice with your whole I'm still having cake
8:53
analogy. But you know this, this trip to
8:56
Madrid ain't just about a football game, right?
8:59
The only time I've been to London was when we played there
9:03
back in 2016. Only time I've been to Paris on
9:06
top of it, you know, I'm, I'm probably going to go back
9:09
eventually, but no time soon unless we play there again.
9:13
But I haven't been to Spain. So you know, I'm leaving Monday
9:18
right after our Lions game. Like we get home, I am washing
9:22
my gear, throwing it in my suitcase and I'm leaving Monday
9:25
morning, right? And I, I cannot wait to get out
9:28
there. I know a lot of people are not
9:30
going until closer to the weekend and staying towards the
9:34
back half because we got to buy that week.
9:37
I want to change it up and leave before the Lions game because I
9:40
wanted to get out there and get situated and get a lay of the
9:42
land and that that's just me. But whenever you guys get out
9:46
there, there have been a lot of questions.
9:48
I actually had a bunch of people walk up to me at the tailgate
9:51
asking, have you gotten your tickets yet?
9:53
So if you purchased your tickets through the NFL, the whole thing
9:58
is the tickets will arrive no earlier than 14 days to the game
10:04
and no later than three days prior to the game.
10:06
So I had a discussion with some higher ups within the
10:10
organization and they're trying to do everything they possibly
10:13
could to get those tickets sent out sooner.
10:15
It's out of their control. All of this is handled by NFL
10:18
Europe. Our team has nothing to do with
10:20
it. Just know today, for those
10:24
wondering, it's Thursday the 6th.
10:26
I got my tickets. Some people got their tickets in
10:29
an e-mail this morning. My e-mail didn't come to me
10:32
until this afternoon. So I know that they're being
10:34
sent to people in waves, right? And this is only if you got it
10:39
officially through the NFL, on the NFL.
10:41
Website, I was going to say, if you went through the secondary
10:44
market like StubHub or whatever have you, it's on the ticket
10:49
that says literally you'll get it on the 16th day of the game,
10:53
the morning of the game, which to me sucks, but it is what it
10:57
is. And so I'm glad that that NFL
11:00
Europe is releasing the tickets now so that people can, I don't
11:05
know, brag on them. You really can't do anything
11:09
with it. You know what section you're
11:10
sitting in. But maybe just Peace of Mind
11:12
that you have it before you go overseas, Maybe because you're
11:15
maybe you're thinking if you don't have cellular service or
11:18
Internet connectivity or something like that.
11:20
I don't, I don't know. I think it's what live it is,
11:22
right? I think people just they don't
11:23
want to go overseas and not have it because then if they have to
11:25
make phone calls or communicate, it's a problem.
11:28
This is just for me, guys. I called up my cell phone
11:31
carrier and I got a a nine day. It's actually a 10 day
11:36
international plan added to my phone for 20 bucks.
11:39
So this way when I'm over there, I can make phone calls and it's
11:43
not going to cost me extra. You can get an E SIM, but the E
11:46
SIM only let you do Internet. It doesn't do voice right.
11:50
So there's some different things there.
11:52
I created a WhatsApp community. I'm going to post the link.
11:56
It's on a couple of Facebook groups.
11:58
I don't want to post it on too many socials because I get
12:01
trolled by so many opposing teams fans.
12:04
The last thing I want to do is have them in our group.
12:07
So if you're watching this on YouTube, you'll see the QR code
12:09
pop up on YouTube. Just pause the show, scan that
12:12
QR code. But inside there, there's a
12:15
bunch of us that are organizing events, tours, just
12:20
communicating while we're out there.
12:21
So just another way for us to keep in touch.
12:24
I mean, just there's a couple fans that actually live in
12:27
Spain, a couple of our brothers that are out in the UK that
12:31
they're happy to answer any questions you guys got.
12:34
So I'm just I'm looking forward to getting out there obviously,
12:38
and being there amongst the Burgundy and gold.
12:41
There is a official fan rally from the team on Friday at noon,
12:47
which I know a lot of people don't get into town until Friday
12:49
night or on Saturday. Yeah, I have to be bummed about
12:53
that. We're going to post whatever we
12:56
find out in that WhatsApp group and on our social media for any
13:00
other meetups that we're going to try and do.
13:02
Madrid just it's not like here, they just don't have a ton of
13:05
bars like we have out here to get to.
13:08
There is a Hard Rock, but it's only a Hard Rock gift shop, so
13:12
they don't actually sell any food or any drinks inside there.
13:14
So I was kind of bummed about that part.
13:16
Yeah, it's hotel, but it's not like one of the hotels that has
13:22
like bar lounge rooms or or mini space areas, if you will.
13:26
So it's a smaller Hard Rock, but it serves the purpose of being a
13:30
Hard Rock in Madrid. Just a bummer because, right,
13:34
it's the Beltway football guys. Friday at 9:00 PM Madrid time.
13:39
They're doing a meet up. They just don't know where it's
13:41
going to be. So we'll just try and figure all
13:44
that stuff out. So if you guys want to join the
13:46
WhatsApp group, you know by all means love to have you in there.
13:49
FYI for the schedule for the show next week.
13:53
I'm leaving on Monday right? I don't know when you're
13:56
leaving, rally when you're. Getting out there.
13:57
Yeah, you're leaving Tuesday. So I we're not going to most
14:01
likely be able to do a normal show.
14:03
I'll try and get something out if possible.
14:06
Just going to ask you guys to subscribe.
14:08
This way you won't miss anything.
14:10
And we go from there. And I'm not back in country
14:13
until the following Wednesday, So the schedule is going to be a
14:17
little different, right? We got the bye week coming up.
14:19
Just know that we're we want to get you guys content.
14:22
It's just a matter of I also need a vacation.
14:25
Man, this is this has been a crazy time right now so.
14:29
I'm looking forward to telling who are you telling brother
14:33
taking and I'm not complaining. I'm not complaining at all, but
14:37
just 200 people. That's that's a lot.
14:41
At the end of the day, it's a lot.
14:43
So like you, I need a vacation from the vacation if you.
14:48
You're saying the vacation yours is work, man.
14:51
I mean, you're hurting cats getting all those people out
14:53
there. So you're getting to Madrid 1st
14:56
and then you're going to go to Barcelona and then you're going
14:57
to come back to Madrid. Yes, that's correct.
15:00
So I'm not going to get to Madrid until Thursday.
15:04
So I'll hit you up when I'm out there on Thursday and try and
15:07
catch you up. And it's just, I can't wait.
15:10
And I know we're talking about Madrid right now where we got
15:12
the lines coming up this week, but just being realistic, like I
15:15
think that's what a majority in the fan base is looking forward
15:18
to. And it actually makes me wonder.
15:21
So Jaden wasn't put on IR, right?
15:23
This is actually, you know what this is DQ talking about Jaden
15:26
not going on IR with Jaden not on IR.
15:29
What's the update on him with, you know, with the plan for him?
15:33
Yep, we are actually going through like a final medical
15:36
meeting today regarding, you know, second opinions and that
15:41
to put the plan together. So we should have an update for
15:43
you here, you know, you know, the next day or so, just being
15:47
thorough through the whole process, like all the guys, make
15:49
sure all the opinions and then gather all the info and then
15:52
make the decisions from there. That's one of the beautiful
15:57
things about being young, if you will, being a younger man, your
16:01
body can get and being slim the way that he is, your body can
16:05
kind of contort a little differently than someone who is
16:09
more of a heavier frame, if you will.
16:11
I know for me, I've been done. They would, they would have said
16:14
cancel Christmas. But for this young man, you know
16:17
the resilience that he has and, and with the dislocation, it's
16:23
like a finger. You can pop that sucker.
16:25
You can pop it into place and put some tape on it and you can
16:28
get back out there. So if it's not as bad as as it
16:31
looked, I can see him coming back.
16:35
But but that's just what what I see.
16:38
I mean, obviously I'm not a doctor.
16:39
They they, but they have more skilled technicians that can
16:43
tell you more about it. But just from the onset, it
16:47
looks like he could possibly be back.
16:49
If if it was, if it was really bad, they would have put him on
16:51
IR from the off the brake. We know that.
16:54
So short term IR is 4 weeks minimum.
16:57
So that would mean, OK, we got this week, we got Madrid, we got
17:01
the bye week, and then we got the Broncos.
17:04
So he'd be coming back then. But so this is my conspiracy
17:09
theory. They're not putting him on IR.
17:12
They're granted there's no fracture and they said the
17:15
ligaments were fine. So it's just, you know, to be
17:19
young, right? I mean, I was playing pickleball
17:21
and I fell down. I didn't fall.
17:23
I'd like I dropped to the ground because someone hit the ball at
17:25
my head, right? My friend's girlfriend hit the
17:28
ball right in my face, so I dropped down.
17:30
Luckily missed the ball, but damn it took me a second to get
17:32
back up right. But I'm thinking someone sent me
17:37
a billboard in Madrid and it's a picture of Jaden and Tua.
17:42
Do you think the NFL is asking the commander's not to put him
17:45
on IR so he can make the trip? Because you saw the commercials
17:50
leading up to this thing, It wasn't Jaden.
17:52
I don't remember seeing Tua in any commercials.
17:54
Maybe that's just because it's our market, but maybe they just
17:57
don't want their, you know, golden child potentially missing
18:01
this game and trying to keep hope a lot for some people
18:03
making this trip. I do know that they are looking
18:10
at the amount of tickets that are being sold on the resale
18:16
market and a lot of people have chosen to not come to the
18:22
Detroit game even though it's a sold out game.
18:25
Ticket holders are saying Nope, I'm not going to do it, I'm
18:28
going to sell it and just watch it from home.
18:30
That's what I noticed so I think you may be right bro.
18:36
Yeah, it's, I mean, I think some fans are just chalking up the
18:40
Troy as an L and we'll talk about that here in a little bit.
18:43
I mean, we joked about it earlier.
18:46
There was literally legit someone said I don't want to go
18:48
anymore right? And there is.
18:52
And this is not to get political right?
18:55
The government shutdown, FAA announced that they are going to
19:00
start cutting back on some flights.
19:01
So this is APSA, right? I got an e-mail I'm flying
19:05
United, right? If anyone wants to upgrade me to
19:09
1st class I'd appreciate it. But I'm flying United out and
19:12
United sent an e-mail saying long haul international flights
19:17
are not being affected by the impact right now.
19:23
So I know I'm flying direct. Those of you guys that aren't
19:27
flying direct, if you're flying let's just say from here to
19:29
Chicago or here to Miami to then catch your flight to Spain,
19:34
check with your airline to make sure you're good, right?
19:37
Because the. Last.
19:38
Thing I would hate is for you guys to have that first leg of
19:41
your trip jacked up because what we're all going through
19:44
government wise and then you can't make your second leg to
19:47
actually get you over there. Yeah, that's going to be a
19:50
problem and and I'm happy that for the people who are on my
19:54
trip, they will be able to get out to either go to Paris or
20:00
Frankfurt is the other stop. Nice.
20:03
OK that's good. Yeah, because I just, I'm so I'm
20:07
worried about some of our fan base.
20:08
I know some people that were flying to New York and then
20:11
going from New York over there. At least New York you can take a
20:14
train, you can take a bus, right, Figure that out.
20:16
But just don't sleep on this guy's because it's something
20:19
that is affecting everybody. I mean, typically for an
20:22
international flight, I think they say get there three hours
20:25
ahead of time. I mean, we're getting there way
20:28
earlier than that. So if you guys are at Dallas on
20:30
Monday, come holler at your boy, because I ain't got nothing to
20:33
do. Yeah, I'm going to get there
20:36
early. They say that some lines for TSA
20:39
five hours just to get through and some people still didn't
20:42
make it after five hours. So, you know, it's, it's one of
20:45
those things to where you get there early and get some
20:47
breakfast at the airport, get some lunch at the airport,
20:50
whatever time your flight is, just get there so you can get
20:53
through security. Because they, they're saying
20:55
that is the hardest part going to be the hardest part of your
20:59
journey is getting through security because a lot of the
21:02
TSA workers are calling out because, you know, let's say
21:05
they're not getting paid. So like you said, this isn't a
21:08
little political show. We're just stating the facts.
21:10
We just want you. Guys to be prepared, that's all.
21:12
Exactly. Yeah, that.
21:14
No, no matter what, that's what it boils down to.
21:16
Because I just, I want to see all of you guys in Spain, right?
21:20
I cannot wait to drink some sangria with you guys and eat
21:25
some tapas and just hang out there, right?
21:27
We can talk about the season, but this trip for me is is so
21:30
much more. This is like a family reunion
21:34
because hey, I don't get a chance to relax at home games.
21:37
So going to KC was great. I mean, there were a lot of our
21:40
fans there. When I say our, I mean like the
21:42
commanders fans there. But I know so many people going
21:45
to Spain on this trip. I just can't wait to get out
21:48
there and hang out with everybody and just we're going
21:51
to take that town over. And I hate saying those words
21:54
now after everything that before, but I just know we are
21:58
because so many of you are making this trip out there and
22:02
it's. Just we represent.
22:03
It's going to be so much fun regardless of what happens.
22:06
And I do blame my boy Chuck from the command corner on Jayden
22:11
getting hurt because I'm sitting there watching the game.
22:14
He sits behind me. I want to say in one O 4 that he
22:17
comes down and walks and he's like, man, at least we're going
22:21
to beat the dolphins in Spain, right?
22:22
There's nothing can happen. Nothing gets screwed up there.
22:25
And Fast forward like 1/4 and 1/2, boom, Jaden goes down.
22:29
So I looked back at him and just gave him a mean mug.
22:31
Like, see, see what you did? But I still got faith, man.
22:36
I still got faith. I mean, the Dolphins are not a
22:38
good team, right? I still got a chance that we can
22:41
actually pull that out. And regardless, regardless what
22:44
happens, we're still in Spain. We're still over.
22:47
There to hang out, man, at the end of the day.
22:49
That's right, Espana. We're there, baby.
22:53
So is because you love the whole cake without icing?
22:55
Is flon considered cake Because I love me some flon.
22:59
I'm not sure. I'm going to hope because I mean
23:03
that's my cake without icing if it is because I grew up on Flon
23:06
and that's believe I'm going to OD on Flon when I'm out there.
23:09
Oh man, don't do that. We need you to come back bro.
23:11
I was going to be a sugar coma. It's.
23:13
Don't. Don't do that to yourself.
23:15
Don't do it. You're going to be all hyped
23:17
like a kid. Well, I, I finally get a chance
23:20
to actually be a kid since I don't have to work or deal with
23:23
anything because this week is going to be a lot of work,
23:26
right? My, when we went to Detroit, we
23:29
hung out up there at my sister tailgate the tailgate Hall of
23:33
Fame tailgate the Big Blue Crew. So they're coming down here now
23:37
and I have to deal with all of them coming to hang out with us.
23:41
It's going to be a fun time. I'm looking at the menu like
23:44
what the hell am I going to serve for Detroit?
23:46
Because it's just, to me, I was going to do all Canadian food
23:49
because they're basically Canada.
23:51
It's just, it's Canada S but we're doing some Greek food and
23:56
kind of going from there. So it's going to be a good time
23:59
this weekend, man. And I'm happy that it's a four
24:01
instead of a 8:00 kick because I'm getting tired of these 8:00
24:04
kicks. Yeah, me too.
24:07
So was it Glizzy's on the menu? Did I see that you.
24:11
Got some Coney dogs? Believe it or not, the Coney
24:13
Dogs actually came from Detroit, not Coney Island, New York.
24:17
So they got something called a loose burger, right?
24:22
And just what in your head when you hear the term loose burger,
24:25
what do you think of? I feel like the meat isn't
24:31
compact together, it's kind of like crumbles if you will.
24:35
It's just a ground beef sandwich, right?
24:37
OK, yeah, that's pretty much what it is.
24:40
I mean, they do eat some odd stuff out there.
24:42
We're going to go all Greek and some other stuff too.
24:44
But yeah, it's going to be a fun tailgate.
24:47
I'm hoping the weather holds off.
24:48
They're talking about rain in the morning and then clear it up
24:51
in the afternoon. But.
24:53
We can do that. Going into this Lions game,
24:55
obviously we're dogs, right? I mean, good news is or bad, the
25:01
Lions just lost this past week to Minnesota.
25:05
Goff did not look good. I mean, he got sacked.
25:08
I think it was five times, right?
25:11
Yeah. Minnesota got some pressure on
25:13
his ass. Their tackles are banged up
25:16
right now. So they are beatable, right?
25:19
Regardless of what happens. It's just I don't think that
25:22
they're world beaters that we're going up against.
25:24
I don't think that it's Mahomes that we're going to have to go
25:28
up against and Andy Reid. I just, I think there is a
25:32
chance we could do something this week.
25:34
Now, is it going to happen? My FanDuel account is very low
25:39
right now, if that tells you anything.
25:42
Thank God I haven't placed a bet and what actually I did do a $10
25:47
bet. You know, I, I don't mind losing
25:48
10. You know, that's, that's
25:50
something that you, you say. All right, that's just a begin
25:53
to give me column. If I win, I win.
25:55
If I lose, it was just 10 bucks. But going big.
25:59
No, Sir, I, I can't do that anymore.
26:02
I, I will not do that anymore. You learn your lesson once you
26:06
lose. So I'm right there with you.
26:10
But yeah, Detroit is going to be a different beast, man, and you
26:17
don't know until the clock strikes 0 what's going to
26:20
happen. I can't wait to get there.
26:22
It is Salute to Service week for the game.
26:25
So I'm looking forward to seeing all the different outfits and
26:28
the get UPS that we have. So who knows what can happen,
26:32
man? So they typically have some
26:34
military vehicles in the red zone lot for some service.
26:37
Helicopters or or step Humvees or deuce in the hat.
26:41
Deuce in the quarters, yeah. Yeah, if you guys get out there
26:44
early, go stop out in the red zone lot, they opened up five
26:46
hours ahead of time. So it's what, a four kick?
26:49
They should open up at 11 out there, get out there early.
26:51
You can take a look at all that stuff.
26:53
It's kind of cool. Take the kids out there, get a
26:55
picture. But we got a secret weapon this
26:58
week that we haven't had all week.
26:59
Are you know what the secret weapon is?
27:01
Uh oh, I'm listening. I like the drum roll.
27:05
Let let coach tell you, Here you go.
27:07
You told us on Monday you going to bring Joe it down to the
27:09
field who goes anybody move up to the booth and ultimately that
27:14
move, what do you expect will change or happen with him on
27:19
that field? Two parts. 1st, no one else is
27:22
moving up from that spot to go. Tom Donatell is on.
27:26
The past side is up, you know, in that space.
27:29
So we're we're covered in that way.
27:30
What do you expect when or what's the advantage is probably
27:33
that you want to ask? You know, like when you're up,
27:35
you're down. Obviously you can see chicks so
27:37
much, you know, clearer from the top.
27:39
You can see the substitutions what you don't feel players in
27:42
the fast communication that you sometimes need to get to.
27:45
So when you're not hitting a mark in a certain space, it's
27:49
the right call. If it's also happened the other
27:53
way when you're on the field and you know, OK, he needs to get
27:57
out of the emotion of it and just see the play calling.
28:00
So it's the right call for us at this time.
28:03
So the players can look directly at Joe, Joe can look directly at
28:06
them in between a series, you know, to go into that spot.
28:09
So no one is going to go, but Joe will come down and kind of
28:13
want to give you the, you know, the pluses and minuses of those.
28:17
Both are effective. It just, you know, by play
28:20
caller and what we need at the moment, you make changes and
28:22
say, all right, this is what's best for us now and it's not
28:26
that uncommon where you know, people done it in season that a
28:31
season, one season to the next. So I think it's the right change
28:34
up for us right now. So according to Joe Witt, he
28:40
asked DQ if he can move to the sideline instead of calling
28:43
players from the booth. He said some players wanted him
28:45
down there, right? And this was wet during his
28:48
press conference today. Do you think it's going to make
28:52
a difference? We'll see.
28:57
I've never coached. I would, but I thought that
29:00
you'd have a better view up top then directly on the sidelines.
29:08
I'm open for anything like our listeners are open for anything
29:10
like you. We, we want to win.
29:12
And if this can give you a, a leg up or an eye up, if you
29:17
will, then let's do it. The question I have is if by
29:22
chance it doesn't, then what will happen?
29:26
But we got to get through this first.
29:28
And he may call a hell of a game hearing that certain players
29:32
can't get go in or or or or suited better while he's on the
29:36
sideline. I don't know why you couldn't do
29:38
it up top. But hey man, if he likes it, I
29:42
love it and I want more of it. Let's get it done now.
29:46
I I don't know what to expect right?
29:47
All I know is what they're doing right now isn't working and to
29:51
continue to do that, you're just beating your head up against a
29:54
brick wall, pulling it for rot. I mean, let's just let's change
29:57
it up. So if this works, great.
30:00
I don't know if it's going to or not.
30:01
All I know is if some of the players asked him to be down
30:05
there and they want him down there, then get your ass down
30:07
there because right now getting your ass upstairs and helping
30:12
out. And we do have, even though
30:15
everyone talks about us being the oldest team in the league,
30:17
we do have a young secondary back there, right?
30:21
You've got Quan, you've got, you know, Amos, you've got Mikey,
30:25
right? You've got a young group out
30:27
there. No Lattimore's hurt, he's done
30:29
for the year. So maybe these young guys need
30:32
some help and need some more direction.
30:33
So get down there, see what you can do.
30:36
After our last show on Monday, I sent you the text about Louvou
30:42
being suspended. Good news is he appealed the
30:45
suspension and now he's only fined $100,000 and he gets to
30:49
play this week. Just 100,000 bucks, you know,
30:53
just just I'd be done for 100,000 bucks.
30:57
But hey, I don't get paid the big bucks either.
31:00
The way I look at it is I've seen a lot of hip drops on
31:05
Jayden or what would I perceive to be hip drops in it?
31:08
And if I can see it from my a vantage point, then you have to
31:13
be able to see it being right there.
31:15
Or maybe you're so close that you don't see it.
31:17
I don't know. But what I say to that is also
31:21
is just be fair because it seems like all the teams are doing it.
31:24
I've seen at least a player do it a couple times.
31:27
So be fair if you're going to do that.
31:29
The fact that they don't call it in game and they went back and
31:33
reviewed it later on. No.
31:35
It's just, it's a bunch of BS, right?
31:37
And you're thinking you'd be hurt by $100,000.
31:41
Guess how much he misses if he were to actually miss one game
31:44
if he were suspended for that one week?
31:46
One game. Yeah, how much he makes one
31:48
game. One Game, 2 million. 508,000 two
31:54
million a game and how much you think he's got makes.
31:57
I don't know bro. His game check is $508,000 a
32:00
game so I mean it's better he. Did get better?
32:05
Yeah, you and me both. Let's see, my water heater needs
32:08
to be replaced now on top of my furnace.
32:10
So let's let's just say I'm happy to go to Spain so I can
32:14
actually take a hot shower. It's going to be a good time out
32:16
there. But maybe Frankie can sprinkle a
32:19
little of that 400,000 he is saving by only just being fine
32:23
instead of suspended. But it was, I think it was Mitch
32:27
Tischler talking on the Beltway football pod that he thinks ever
32:32
since the push push debacle in the NFC Championship Game, the
32:37
NFL was so embarrassed by what he did that they're basically
32:41
coming after him and trying to make an example.
32:42
I. Don't know why not do it in the
32:45
first three games. First five games, I'll wait till
32:48
now to do it, but OK. Yeah, maybe the the season's
32:52
going so bad, they figured, all right, we can just throw some
32:54
more BS on top. So it it just, it is what it is.
32:57
But that was like a a punch to the stomach man.
33:00
Seeing that Louvou suspension, he wasn't going to be there.
33:04
And is he being there going to make a big difference?
33:07
I don't know. But can it hurt?
33:09
Definitely don't think so. I think it could hurt without
33:12
him being there because we need somebody who can, who can roam
33:17
sideline to sideline. And right now it seems to be
33:21
he's the only one that can do. I mean, Wagner, he can't.
33:24
He does travel, but as we all know, he's a little slower.
33:27
But he's always there though, you know?
33:31
He's a couple steps below, like behind people, but yeah, he's
33:34
there. But he's there.
33:36
He might not be able to reach the guy because the guy's a
33:38
little too far out in front of him, but he's there.
33:40
I mean, I just as, as we start getting towards the later part
33:44
of the season, right, I, I need to see Jordan McGee more.
33:50
I need to see Kane Medrano more. Like people are saying, well,
33:54
what am I watching for now? Like 5's not out there, you're
33:57
watching because there's more than him on the team.
33:59
I'm watching to see exactly right.
34:02
It's just I'm watching to see, can Jaylen Lane do this?
34:05
Can he make that actual step? Can you make that transition?
34:07
I'm watching to see, right? Was Bill just a flash in the
34:11
pan? Right?
34:12
What's going to go on? I'm watching to see.
34:14
I actually sat in front of Medrano's parents for the Chiefs
34:16
game and it was kind of cool because they were going crazy.
34:20
Medrano actually got held on. AI want to say it was a kick off
34:25
or something and he should have had a tackle and he missed it
34:27
because of the hold. And they're called a flag on the
34:29
Chiefs that his family went ballistic behind me.
34:32
So basically, you know, paraphrasing, you robbed our son
34:35
of a tackle and just got to go back and forth.
34:37
But you know, I, I want to see these young bucks because let's
34:42
be real, we are still rebuilding right now.
34:45
We were so close that Peters and Quinn went all in, bringing in
34:50
all these studs, all these vets thinking, all right, we got a
34:54
chance to be back there. We're four quarters away, but
34:57
that ain't working, so now we need to make sure that these
34:59
young guys. Get.
35:01
Some experience. Because the other teams have our
35:05
playbook, it feels like. So Cliff has to change things
35:08
up. Wit has to change things up.
35:11
I, I agree with you, man. I I totally agree with you.
35:15
Give me 3 things you want to see changed this weekend, whether
35:20
it's offense or defense or what, for us to have a shot to keep
35:23
this competitive. Well, you said have a shot, take
35:30
a shot down field. So we don't have Terry.
35:34
I understand Terry's a staple, but we have other guys who are
35:38
on the team that are fast who can catch.
35:42
So utilize them. That's all I that's that's the
35:45
first thing. The second thing is back in be
35:48
on the same page. Communication still is kind of
35:52
wild, if you will. Third is I need offense and
35:56
defensive coordinators to call a good game.
35:59
Just do need because the games just have not been good.
36:02
And you know, a team that can pressure you.
36:05
Like we think that Detroit can then figure out a way to make
36:09
neutralize that pressure. If you can, what about you man?
36:13
So going back to your taking a shot, right?
36:15
I'm just going back to Mariota's latest game.
36:18
All right? He threw 6 passes.
36:22
No, sorry. He threw 8 passes, 9 passes over
36:27
10 yards. That's it.
36:29
The entire time he completed four of them.
36:33
All right, that's just to me, that's not taken enough.
36:37
Or he only threw one pass that was a bomb to Terry over 20
36:40
yards. To me, it just you have to make
36:43
them fear the fact that you can throw that deep ball.
36:47
Whether you complete it or not. You still got to make them
36:49
wonder versus just stacking the entire thing.
36:52
For me, I hate to say it, man, I'm not saying that the Bill
36:57
experiment is over for me, but the kid is trying to hit too
37:03
many home runs versus getting the tough yards.
37:06
Right. Went back and watched and I
37:09
just, I didn't really want to, but I saw a couple times and a
37:13
coach talked about it where he had a hole to get the first
37:17
down, but he tried to bust it out and then lost 2 yards
37:20
instead, right? I want to see more Chris
37:25
Rodriguez, right? He falls forward for two yards,
37:30
right? We have got to be able to have a
37:32
back that can grind that out and that's something B Rob used to
37:37
do, right? He didn't hit home runs all the
37:40
time, but he at least could be that bruiser and get those tough
37:43
yards. And I think maybe it's because
37:46
of the fumbling that got in his head and he's just worried about
37:50
dropping that ball again or what.
37:53
But he shies from contact and it puts him in a bad angle.
37:58
And I feel like he's losing yards on plays where there are
38:01
positive yards to be gained. So go back to the running back
38:05
by committee, give the give the ball the guy with a hot hand.
38:08
All right. That's that's what I want to see
38:12
from an offensive perspective, because I think you're not going
38:15
to be able to win a shootout against these guys.
38:18
So if you can ball control, then great.
38:21
Second, we got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot, man.
38:25
I mean Ernst with A2 third down penalties.
38:28
I mean, how many times do we get a penalty on 3rd down?
38:31
So frustrating. I mean, another fumble by lane
38:34
on a kickoff, right? And then you have to put Debo
38:37
back there instead. It's just we're not a good team
38:41
to be able to overcome those things.
38:42
You just and they're so easy to stop.
38:47
Just you're looking in at the ball a you're at home.
38:52
So it's not like you're worried about the crowd noise.
38:54
You're just looking in at the ball, right?
38:56
If you're lined up at tight end, you're just looking down there
38:58
balls right there, right? You know what the snap count is.
39:01
They tell you what the snap count is in the huddle.
39:04
It's just so. Just come on, man.
39:06
Human too. They're human.
39:08
They make mistakes, unfortunately.
39:10
I get it man, but it's Earth has played a lot of football.
39:14
To do something stupid like that, it you just, you cannot
39:17
beat yourselves if you expect to beat the other team.
39:21
And then on defense, I need Joe Witt to, if his playbook and
39:29
that play does not say blitz anywhere in the wording, throw
39:32
that play out. Leave that play back in the
39:35
locker room. Don't bring it to the field with
39:37
you. All right?
39:38
Blitz the hell out of golf, right?
39:41
You need to make sure you pressure that man because he is
39:45
not mobile. He is not going to dance around
39:47
in that pocket like Mahomes will, right?
39:50
You can get after his ass. And we saw that what the Vikings
39:54
did. So 43% of his drawbacks, he got
39:59
pressured on and he did not do well last week.
40:02
We can do the same thing, just get after him.
40:05
Wit doesn't like to call a blitz for whatever reason.
40:07
I don't know why, but it's obvious right now that our
40:12
defense and our secondary cannot cover anybody.
40:16
So guess what? You get pressure.
40:17
You don't got to worry about covering that long.
40:20
Or that could be the reason why he doesn't blitz is because he
40:24
said he didn't trust the secondary.
40:26
And if he does and somebody's out of place, we know how easy
40:29
teams take advantage of us with a player out of place, a player
40:33
or two out of place. I hear you.
40:35
I would wrap The thing is a, if you're blitzing, you don't have
40:39
a ton of guys out of place because you're pretty much going
40:42
man and you got to cover, right? Unless it's a zone blitz or
40:46
something like that. But it's less on the back end
40:49
that you have to worry about communication wise because you
40:53
are hoping that I can stick with this guy for two seconds, 3
40:57
seconds because the defensive pressure is going to get there,
41:00
right? I Daryl Green would have been a
41:03
Hall of Famer regardless, but might not been as good if he
41:07
didn't have Dexter and Charles and Wilbur Marshall and other
41:11
guys in front getting pressure right.
41:13
No one can come, Yeah. It's complementary football, not
41:16
just defense complementing offense, it's defensive line and
41:20
linebackers complementing secondary, right?
41:23
And I just, I need to see that from Joe Witt.
41:26
I need to see him actually call blitzes and get some pressure on
41:31
this guy or try versus playing zone and having their receivers.
41:37
I mean, looking at the Chiefs footage, Mahomes had 789 seconds
41:42
to throw that ball sometimes. Because we're only ready for
41:43
people. That's crazy.
41:46
And then he'll pick you apart. Anyone's going to pick you.
41:49
I mean, you could be back. There and obviously it happened.
41:52
No bro, those days are over with.
41:54
But I appreciate it, I do. E i.e.
41:56
I throw, I mean, what's what, 3 seconds?
41:59
I mean, you'll have a lot longer than that, right, If you're
42:02
going up against our defense because they're just not
42:05
getting. There.
42:07
And that's just it. Why aren't they getting home?
42:11
Is it that the man on the other side is stronger?
42:15
Faster? Is that what it is?
42:18
I don't know. I think it's game, man.
42:20
I I really think it is defensive scheme.
42:24
And then coach talked about it. You have guys trying to make a
42:30
play instead of making their play all right.
42:33
You have guys getting out of position.
42:36
And this is what I saw when I went back and watch the KC tape,
42:38
right? Guys trying to do something else
42:42
that is not their responsibility.
42:44
And next thing you know, someone else becomes open.
42:47
That was a responsibility, right?
42:49
And you've got guys trying. We talked, we talked about the
42:52
past four rushing is 1, but you've got guys rushing and then
42:56
leaving gap contain. And next thing you know, someone
42:59
scrambles out the side. It's just they're not playing
43:01
sound football. Joe Witt actually mentioned
43:04
during his press conference saying the aggravating thing is
43:07
we're not winning, we're not playing a good brand of ball.
43:11
We're looking at everything. And it starts with me.
43:13
It's my job to get the defensive play at a better level and I
43:16
haven't done that. And I just, I need more
43:20
accountability from him and his players, frankly.
43:25
This weekend, yeah, we'll see it hopefully, I think.
43:30
I think what you'll see this weekend is somebody may get
43:35
fired if, if this Sunday goes the way last Monday went or last
43:44
Sunday rather, I think you'll, you'll see that somebody
43:47
probably will go because they need to found a flesh.
43:51
We need our we need our pound of flesh.
43:53
If if they don't do well, especially, they get burnt the
43:56
way they've been getting burnt. If a call for somebody.
43:59
Hit. If we weren't going to Spain the
44:01
next weekend, I would agree with you, right?
44:03
I, the, so the commanders have dropped three straight games by
44:07
at least 21 points, and the last time that happened was 24 years
44:13
ago, right? So I agree with you on the pound
44:17
of flesh. I just think it is too much to
44:20
ask to them bring in or bring up somebody when they're also
44:26
trying to fly out to Spain and do everything else.
44:28
The bye week is right after that, so I could see something
44:32
may be happening then. But doing it this week, I don't
44:37
know. And it's it's an interesting
44:40
dance, man. Because I don't know what that's
44:44
going to do because it doesn't change the players on the field,
44:48
it doesn't change the people riding the pine scheme.
44:54
But it's the same scheme, right? DQ and Joe Witt came from the
44:59
Cowboys and they do the same scheme.
45:03
So it's but I, I hear you man, and fans are pissed.
45:07
I mean, you texted me when Barstool Nate and B got into
45:11
that fight, right? You know, I mean, people are
45:14
asking for Joe Witt's hat because they want someone, they
45:19
want someone's head to roll. And I don't blame the fan base
45:21
for being pissed off. I just don't know how much good
45:25
it's going to do. And Speaking of good, the NFL
45:28
trade deadline came and passed. Were you surprised that we did
45:32
absolutely nothing? I was until I started listening
45:36
to other people's comments in the different punts and saying
45:40
why it's not like in their eyes, it's not as though we could win
45:48
out for the playoffs, even though I'm like, you never know,
45:51
you could. But people say no, don't, don't
45:55
waste it. I don't know.
45:58
What do you think? I was surprised that we held on
46:02
to some vets, right? I figured, OK, we got some guys
46:06
on one year deals like ertz like Von Miller, Debo, right?
46:13
Tonsil I think they want to keep because he's got more legs and
46:16
he's got more time on his actual, you know, not contract.
46:20
His contract has to be renegotiated.
46:22
But like Duron Payne next year, nothing is guaranteed on his
46:25
contract, right? So.
46:26
He's out of here, I'm sure. Can you get something for him
46:30
versus walking now Grant, he is still under contract next year.
46:33
It comes the whole drama we had with Terry, we're going to have
46:37
again with Duron this year, right.
46:39
So his contract which he is under is just not guaranteed
46:42
next year. So same reason why, you know,
46:45
John Allen kind of walked because the team caught him and
46:48
let him go and save the cap space.
46:49
I'm surprised they didn't get something.
46:51
But it reminds me of me in high school going to dances.
46:56
I could want to dance, but I got to have someone want to dance
46:58
with me, all right? So I'm just sitting by the punch
47:00
bowl by myself, you know? Just my drink in my mind.
47:03
That sounds so bad to. You know, just it was what it
47:07
was. Stag, stag, tiggle, tailgate,
47:10
staggle and stag. That guy we didn't have, What
47:13
was that city? Hawkins dances.
47:15
Where the the girls ask you. Ask the guy.
47:17
Yeah. Yeah, no, that would not have
47:19
worked out my favor. But I'm just thinking we had no
47:21
one to dance with. We didn't have a partner.
47:23
And Peters for me is he's on notice, right?
47:29
I he did very well last year, this offseason.
47:34
This offseason was a major bust, right?
47:37
And what he does this upcoming offseason is going to dictate,
47:42
is he still on notice or am I done with him because we just
47:47
didn't do enough? Well, I'm not done with him just
47:54
yet because last year we were giving him high praise.
47:58
And I know it's a year to year, league, week to week, whatever
48:01
had month to month, but that was we gave him praise then allow
48:05
him to finish out his plan, if you will, because like round
48:11
Rivera, we're going back. But we talked in the pod about
48:15
round Rivera and I said, there's no way you can fire Round Rivera
48:17
because what he's going to say is, look what happened the year
48:22
prior when I had healthy people. But then their injury bugged
48:26
with round Rivera, his squad back then.
48:29
And they didn't let him go because, hey, he said, if you
48:33
just give me an opportunity with some healthy people, I can do
48:35
better. They said, all right, we'll give
48:37
you that. And they did.
48:38
Now eventually they did let him go.
48:40
But I see this this being the same way if he had to justify
48:46
himself. In my mind, like failing to
48:50
prepare right, it's just the roster itself.
48:54
And I'm looking at the injury report and I think there was a,
48:57
something on Instagram, it said we had $70 million in cap space
49:03
injured, right? Which isn't 100% correct because
49:06
Debo was in that list. And I want to say Debo's
49:09
17,000,000, but Debo was not on this injury report.
49:11
I'm looking at the report right now.
49:13
The only two DN PS were Jaden and Terry, right?
49:16
And we know that they're not playing this weekend, right?
49:19
Amos limited, Quan limited, Tyler Owens limited, yank off
49:25
limited. Everyone else was a full
49:27
participant. So it's just for me, you can go
49:33
back and look at the injuries and say, yes, that was a huge
49:36
problem because we just didn't really have any injuries the
49:39
year prior. But the lack of just a pass
49:45
rush, right? It's something that we knew had
49:48
to be addressed this past offseason.
49:50
You didn't address it in the draft.
49:52
You picked up Connerly, right? And he's starting, he's playing,
49:57
but he's not helping us on defense.
50:00
The defense is the worst in the league, right?
50:03
And that to me. 32. I'm almost positive in different
50:07
stats. Yeah, we are last when it comes
50:11
to it. It just depends on which stat
50:12
you're looking at, but. Looking at right, OK.
50:15
I know we're not. We're not up there.
50:17
So let's see opponents yards per game.
50:20
We are 28. We're giving up 377.
50:25
Wow. But.
50:26
I'll catch one. I'll catch a pass for that.
50:28
Yeah, I'll catch a pass for that.
50:29
I got to believe points wise, we're giving up the most points.
50:32
What you think, I don't know. So, but regardless, I just I
50:38
felt that Peters was trying to win now and build for tomorrow
50:43
and he just he failed at it, right?
50:45
It just it did not work. And now we are, we took two
50:49
steps forward last year because we were, you know, once again 60
50:52
minutes from the Super Bowl. But we took three steps back
50:55
this year because of the draft picks that we gave up to get
50:58
Tonsil and to get other guys here, and now we got to bounce
51:03
back. We just don't have a lot of pics
51:05
is the problem. It's not good and we're going to
51:09
be in trouble, so he's going to have to pull out that that pin
51:12
and work some magic. I mean, he, he did some voodoo
51:16
right last, you know, last year he, I mean, he probably went
51:20
down Louisiana, did some voodoo, whatever else needed to down
51:22
there, because what he did with that roster he inherited was
51:26
magic. Can he do it again?
51:29
Hey, it may be this is actually DQ talking about balancing
51:33
winning now versus the future. Dan, is there any balance?
51:38
Between what's right in front of you, the Detroit game, you know
51:41
that game that week, and the big picture of what's good for this
51:46
roster, this team. In in the long haul, I think
51:50
always you want to like this. You may or may not have heard
51:54
this term, but like win now, but develop for tomorrow.
51:57
And I think you can have both buckets if you're organized and
52:01
thoughtful and how you're developing players.
52:03
We know some 1st and 2nd year guys, there's going to be more
52:06
bumps in the road than just a veteran who's played lots and
52:10
lots and lots. That's to be expected.
52:12
But you can do both. And that's our approach here to
52:15
make sure we're, I love on the 1st and 2nd year guys, some of
52:19
the developments that they're making, it goes sometimes this
52:24
and then this. And you know, like, man, it'd be
52:26
awesome if it just kept going up.
52:27
But that's not how like development works.
52:30
So I think the balance of both is important, but I think you
52:32
can have two buckets and I think you can do both simultaneously,
52:36
some shift based on opponent where you're at, but I think you
52:40
can do both. You buying it?
52:46
I'd hope that you'd be able to walk in chewable gum at the same
52:48
time, but I've seen people that can't.
52:52
Bro it's just going to be a rough weekend and I for one want
52:58
to put our best foot forward but the same time expect the worst.
53:05
That makes sense. Makes sense, right?
53:09
And it's I'm not trying to be a downer.
53:12
I don't I don't know what's going to I don't think we're
53:15
going to win on Sunday, right? Just being, I'd be lying to you
53:18
guys if I said I thought we were going to win all I want.
53:21
And like, I've got a friend coming to the game, right?
53:22
He hasn't been to a game all season.
53:24
He's like, man, I don't know what to expect.
53:26
It's like I just want, I want to be competitive.
53:29
I just want to watch a good football game.
53:31
I don't want to watch what we watched this past Monday or past
53:36
Sunday against Seattle, right? To go down 28 nothing before we
53:40
just just don't do that. Don't.
53:42
Don't embarrass the fan base. Don't embarrass the people that
53:46
are paying good hard money to come out to the games.
53:48
Put up a little bit of a fight, right, Joe Wit, call a blitz.
53:52
Do something right. Show something different,
53:54
definitely. Exactly right, Kingsbury, right.
53:57
Do something different because what you doing right now ain't
53:59
working. And that that's all I want out
54:02
of these guys. I just don't want to be
54:05
embarrassed on TV anymore. That part's getting a little bit
54:10
old, and you and I aren't going anywhere.
54:12
Shoot, you're a fan of the year. You can't go anywhere even if
54:14
you want to, right? But I.
54:17
Hate for the long haul, brother. We we ride with him, we die with
54:21
him. All right, Commander's fans for
54:23
life. But I need you guys to put up a
54:26
fight. That's all I'm asking for.
54:28
Just put up a fight. And I know the players, they
54:30
don't want to lose, right? They're trying to do everything
54:33
they possibly can to win. It's just not working right now,
54:38
but maybe, maybe this Sunday we see the defense that we saw
54:42
against KC that first week, which is what I was begging for
54:45
last week, but maybe they just didn't hear my message.
54:48
I don't know. Yeah, we played a great first
54:50
half against KC. second-half, we know the result, but but if I
54:56
can just get a spark in three quarters, 3/4, I will.
55:01
I think we can be good, but we got to have a spark.
55:04
That's what's needed to make this thing happen.
55:07
And right now we're being kind of dull and that's why I don't
55:11
want to happen. It's like those Flint rocks to
55:14
get to, you know, to be able to to spark it and get your fire
55:18
going. That's we're going to need to
55:20
see that to get those old logs, if you will, going to get this
55:25
fire started. Yeah, I agree with you man.
55:28
And I just there's too much talent on this team to just
55:33
cold, right. DQ is not that kind of He has
55:35
not lost the locker room like, you know, Rivera and Gruden and
55:40
others did in the. Past.
55:43
Right. We're nowhere near that.
55:45
And I know the guys are giving it their all and I'm going to
55:49
lose my voice and I'll hopefully get it back in time for the
55:52
Dolphins game. And I just, if I don't see you
55:56
guys at Northwest this Sunday, I can't wait to see you guys in
55:59
Madrid next week. I definitely will be walking
56:04
through the lots. So I will see you this Sunday
56:07
and I will see you in Madrid. That's going to do it.
56:11
Oh, I don't know if I like the sound of that, but OK, That's
56:17
going to do it for this. Just came in.
56:19
That's going to do it for this episode of the DND Mess Hall
56:26
with your boy Tailgate Ted and Rally Captain.
56:30
We thank you guys for listening and and as Ted said in the
56:32
beginning of the show, please subscribe, listen, share it
56:35
because it means a lot. It helps us with the analytics.
56:38
Let's let's people know what we actually are doing.
56:41
We're not wasting your time or our time.
56:43
And we thank you guys for that. So I'll see you guys this Sunday
56:48
as well as later on overseas. Remember, you RIP it hard or you
56:55
don't RIP it at all. Riley, Captain Tailgate, Ted,
56:59
See you Sunday.
