"He's NOT RGIII" episode 187 · DMV Mess Hall

0:00
This is Will Montgomery, former Washington Redskins center,
0:04
y'all. What's good, folks?
0:06
This is Trey Johnson, the headbanger, y'all, and you're
0:08
listening to mess hall with rally captain and tailgate Ted,
0:13
what's going on? Rally.
0:15
Did you drink the water when you were out there, man?
0:17
I did not. I bought bottled water because I
0:22
didn't want any blue or silver rubbing off on me any type of
0:27
way, but due to the result of the game it happened anyway.
0:34
Man, I just, it was tough to watch, man, I can't imagine how
0:40
it was to be there at a certain point.
0:42
So my weekend I I got that new iPhone right and.
0:48
OK, that's right. You're telling us about that?
0:50
Yeah, trying to get all that taken care of.
0:52
Misses T was getting my other iPhone because her iPhone has no
0:55
space on it. And we're about to go to Spain
0:59
and you're obviously going to take pictures when you're on
1:01
vacation. Well, she can't take any
1:02
pictures because her phone's full.
1:04
So my old phone, you know, had four times the size of space her
1:08
existing one does. So that's why she's getting mad.
1:10
And I got the new one. So honestly, man, during the
1:13
game, I was just setting up her phone, man.
1:15
It was just so rough to sit there and watch and to see.
1:19
But before we get into the game, did you get to meet Rey
1:22
Mysterio? How was BAR and Libre man?
1:25
No, I didn't meet Mysterio. Well, I'll tell you this, I'll
1:32
tell you this. So obviously for those that saw
1:35
the caption last week prior to the rally, they had some pretty,
1:40
you know, sketchy, I shouldn't say sketchy, but adult theme
1:43
type of waitress wear, if you will.
1:45
And so I get there on Friday and when I walk in, boom, it hits
1:51
me. I mean, they I was like, oh,
1:53
wow. And so, but, but hey, very nice
1:58
spot. So I talked to the manager, the
2:00
managers like, no, we're going to have, we're going to change
2:03
our, our tire up and let us know what you want the ladies to
2:07
wear, you know, jeans or shorts or leggings or I said leggings
2:11
are universal just for leggings. And so they toned it down.
2:15
But when I first walked in, I, I, I, I was like, woo.
2:19
I said, I got families coming. Ma'am, I, I can't have you.
2:23
I got you no problem. I I had it pulled up on my
2:27
laptop because I'm going back and editing the show and Missus
2:30
T's like what are you looking at on your screen right now is
2:33
like, no, no, no, this is where rally's having the rally.
2:36
He's like he's having it at a strip club.
2:38
It's like, no, it's. Not it's not a strip.
2:41
Club it's just a bar in Texas that wasn't charging him a ton
2:46
of money like some of the other places wanted that has a ton of
2:49
space and they they wear a little less clothing in Texas
2:53
because it's hotter there than it is up here, right?
2:56
I'm looking outside right now. It's obviously fall right?
2:59
And he's like, oh, sure. I'm I'm guessing you're sad
3:02
you're missing that rally. How's it going to be in Kansas
3:04
City? So I mean, she wasn't grilling
3:06
me like that, but it was just thinking to myself.
3:09
So Saturday comes around and you know, I'm checking social media.
3:14
I'm like, all right, where where's, where's the post?
3:16
Where's the videos? What's going on?
3:18
Because I was honestly curious to see how it was going to be, A
3:21
how the turn out was going to be, and B who's going to be the
3:24
first person to post a picture, a selfie of them and some of the
3:29
individuals from Bar Libre. Yeah, no, it was it was good
3:34
man. They, they came out with their
3:35
little T-shirts and, and I shouldn't say T-shirts, but bar
3:40
bar keep attire if you will. So.
3:42
Something you'd expect from like a, a normal rally spot other
3:45
than, you know, the one you you're kind of somewhat forced
3:48
to go to. But I'm glad that they were
3:50
accommodating because I, I mean, I definitely saw some families
3:52
out there. I saw some people posting
3:54
pictures. I mean, much like all the
3:55
rallies that you do, I mean, very well publicly documented.
4:00
Sound like everyone had a blast. I saw you did a video.
4:03
How many fans are out there? Over 500.
4:06
So yeah, very happy to to see that.
4:09
And I got to tell you for next week's rally, I think it's going
4:14
to be more than that because apparently all the hotels are
4:18
sold out Kansas City. And I know they aren't Kansas
4:21
City fans going back to Kansas City to watch them play us.
4:25
So I, I, I do believe that Commanders fans taking over the
4:30
city. There are a lot of us coming out
4:33
there and I, I cannot wait to be out there.
4:35
I mean, the junkies were talking about this morning just about
4:39
how they're going to crush us. I mean, so my FanDuel account
4:43
was down to damn near single digits coming up Sunday morning.
4:48
Let's just say I worked it back up to a lot more than that over
4:53
this past weekend and I could have actually done better on my
4:57
parlay if I would have taken the Chiefs, giving the points.
5:01
The Chiefs were giving 14 1/2 to the Raiders, right?
5:05
Thinking they're going to beat the Raiders.
5:07
They're not going to beat them by 14 1/2.
5:08
There's no way that spreads 14 1/2.
5:10
I can't be legit. Oh no, they crossed from 31 to
5:13
nothing, right? And I should have actually, I
5:15
would have had a hell a lot better odds if I would have did
5:17
that. But man, I was debating between
5:21
Lambeau and Kansas City and I, I chose KC to go on this trip with
5:26
you. Yeah, I'm not going to lie,
5:28
Monday is not looking fun right now based on what we just
5:31
watched this past weekend. No, it isn't, but you know, we
5:38
can't make any excuses. And I always tell people, one of
5:43
the one of the things that I get all the time is I can't believe
5:48
you spent your money to go see your team taking I'll.
5:52
And one of the responses or the main response that I always come
5:57
back with is listen, guys, of course we want to see our team
6:02
win. Winning is the icing on the
6:06
cake, if you will. But sometimes, you know, cake is
6:11
better without icing. And they say, huh?
6:14
And I say, the fact is I've met so many new people, I've had so
6:18
many new foods, seen so many new things that that's why I say
6:25
sometimes it's better without the icing because of everything
6:30
else. And people say, oh, that's a
6:33
different spin on it because if the game is just one small
6:36
aspect, obviously we want to see everybody win.
6:39
But if not, what, what did you do in the meantime, you know, to
6:43
offset the game? And so that's why I always try
6:45
to tell everybody. So Dallas, as they say, owes me
6:49
nothing because of everything that we did and just all the
6:52
partying, the the food, the people, it was, it was just
6:56
awesome, man. I mean, that's what that's what
6:59
I'm looking forward to, right? And not trying to jump overhead
7:02
to Kansas City, but people ask you and I know a lot of people
7:05
that are out there and bring it up on the radio, like how are
7:07
these people paying for this? It's like some people go on
7:10
cruises, right? I think there was a thing on
7:12
WTOP, which is the news channel here in DC area on the radio
7:17
saying how they're expecting cruising to blow up in 2026.
7:20
Even more people going on cruises, right?
7:22
People spend their money on vacation different ways.
7:24
Some people go on cruises, some people go on like one massive
7:27
vacation, you know, whatever part of the year and you and
7:31
other people that we know go on these trips to follow our team,
7:34
right? And I am looking forward to
7:36
going to Kansas City and getting some good BBQ.
7:39
I know you've organized a meet and greet there that Saturday
7:42
night. I'm looking at the itinerary
7:44
right now that you put together for me.
7:46
And I mean, it just got everything laid out and just, it
7:49
couldn't be easier to figure out what's going on.
7:52
I just, I know so many people that are going on a trip with
7:55
you and a bunch of other people that are going on at separate
7:57
and a regardless if we win or lose that weekend.
8:03
A lot of people do it just because they want to knock a
8:05
bunch of stadiums off their list, right?
8:08
And Casey's one on my list, I haven't had a chance to knock
8:10
off yet. I mean, I almost think that
8:13
people are. I think you kind of somewhat
8:16
started it for the fan base where you've got your flag right
8:20
and there's only one spot left on your flag.
8:22
You haven't marked off that list yet.
8:24
And what, in a couple of years when we go up to Pittsburgh, you
8:27
know, hopefully you'll get a chance to knock that off and
8:29
I'll be up there with you. But a lot of people are are
8:31
they're doing the same thing, man.
8:33
It's and I know how people that do it for baseball teams, right?
8:36
They they go on a baseball bucket list.
8:38
I know people that my friend's parents, they go to national
8:41
parks, right? I mean, to me, that couldn't be
8:44
more boring. That is one thing you will never
8:47
catch me doing, right? But they go get stickers and
8:51
like all these different things from visiting national parks and
8:54
people want to go see these tours to the fact Mayor Bowser
8:58
was in Dallas for the game because she wanted a tour AT
9:00
and. T Stadium.
9:02
And she wanted to get some, I guess, kind of like inspiration
9:05
and thoughts on what it should look like back out here in DC.
9:09
Well, I'll tell you what she should have done is come out to
9:11
Sofi, you know, because realistically, I know this
9:14
sounds weird, but AT&T Stadium now is starting to be a dinosaur
9:20
compared to the other stadiums. And, and it was just built in
9:23
2011. So that goes show you how fast
9:27
things evolve as far as stadium aspects are concerned.
9:31
Now, Jerry Jones has done some upgrades to the stadium, which I
9:37
can appreciate. And, and when you have a huge
9:40
stadium like that or venue like that, you have to continue to,
9:45
to, to stay with the times, if you will, and do these upgrades.
9:49
One of the things that I always talk about is we all know that
9:53
the Superdome in New Orleans was built like in the 70s.
9:57
I want to say 71 or 72 or something like that.
10:00
And it's a National Historic Place.
10:05
So they can't change the outside, but they continually
10:08
change the inside of the sewer Dome to bring it up to date.
10:12
And so I can't wait till we get our stadium because it's going
10:16
to put us on the map again and it's going to just be so much
10:21
improved as far as all of the the newfangled things that are
10:25
out there in in the the football or sporting industry, if you
10:28
will. I mean, Superdome was built in
10:31
1975, right? And obviously renovate that
10:34
thing. It's on to think they did a a
10:37
bunch of renovations between 2016 and 2021.
10:41
But Soldier Field, right? That thing has been around since
10:44
1924, right? And I remember opened October
10:50
9th, 1924, all right? And I remember going there on a
10:55
Thursday night years ago with you and thinking to myself, this
11:00
thing is so much nicer than FedEx Field, right?
11:02
They've got so many, I mean, little tiny things.
11:04
I remember texting the team when we were at that game of let us
11:08
know when ATV time out is coming up.
11:10
Let us know how much time is left on the TV time out.
11:13
That's because you and I were at Soldier Field and that's
11:16
something that they do there. And guess what?
11:18
They do it at Northwest Stadium. Now, I'm not saying they do it
11:20
because we reached out to them, but the fact of the matter is
11:23
they weren't doing it before. And this is something that other
11:26
NFL stadiums have, right? You just, you got to keep up
11:29
with the Joneses. And I know I think of Lambeau
11:31
Field, I'm trying to think of when Lambeau actually was
11:34
constructed. But you know, some of these
11:37
places, Lambeau 1957, right? They're not changing that thing.
11:41
They're building up, right? They are renovating it
11:44
everything they can, but I mean, you've been there.
11:47
I mean to me the. Yeah, Lambo started with Lambo
11:50
started with one level, and they built two extra levels on top of
11:54
that, that first level. So yeah, you got to give the
11:57
times. You definitely do.
11:59
And to me, the nicest stadium I've been to is a Legion right
12:02
out in Vegas. And that's probably just
12:04
because, you know, I haven't had a chance to go to Sofi.
12:06
But a Legion and Sofi came out the same time, right?
12:10
So those two are the newest NFL stadiums that have been built
12:13
and that a Legion stadium. I mean, obviously it's Vegas, so
12:16
they're going to go all out for everything they do.
12:18
I mean, the fact that I think it was Tiësto was performing at a
12:21
nightclub after the game on the field level, like just for a
12:25
bunch of the people that were still out there and you know,
12:28
it's crazy. So I am curious to see what's
12:31
going to, because they're talking about some of the
12:32
construction to mimic on the exterior some of the buildings
12:37
in DC. Like is this thing going to look
12:39
like a Smithsonian? Because that that to me is going
12:42
to be kind of weird. I have no idea what they're
12:44
thinking. But it was cool to hear that she
12:46
was out there. You know, DPRDC, Department of
12:50
Recreation actually did a watch party for the game right at a
12:56
field out here in DC and they had a big screen TV, they had
13:01
food trucks and like all this other stuff going on.
13:04
So I saw that was kind of cool, man.
13:06
And just seeing everyone get together for the game.
13:10
I mean, did you guys tailgate when you were out there?
13:12
Would you have? Yeah, went to a tailgate,
13:15
gentleman threw a tailgate that all you can eat, all you can do
13:18
drink type of deal, alcohol included.
13:21
And it was pretty good. It really was good.
13:25
It. Was like a combined cowboy
13:29
commander slash, you know, get together tailgate if you will.
13:34
So it was nice. You get a chance to go on the
13:37
field beforehand. I did, I did.
13:40
Yeah. They they said, hey, we got a
13:43
fast. I was like, I greatly take it,
13:45
you know me, anytime I can get a pass on the field, I'll I'll
13:49
I'll get down there and try to rub elbows.
13:51
But it was it was a good time. And at the rally, I got to tell
13:55
you, man, we had a a surprise visit from the president, Mark
13:59
Klaus. I was shocked.
14:02
I. Didn't know it was Mark Klaus.
14:03
So when you texted me off, you know, behind the scenes, you
14:07
told me it was Mark. I thought it was a different
14:09
Mark that. Post.
14:11
So I was thinking, oh, OK, that's that's interesting.
14:14
But no, I'm, I'm glad to hear the Mark Klaus post.
14:16
Those that don't know, he's the team president and yeah, there's
14:19
obviously a lot going on. He's been busy with everything
14:23
with the team coming back to RFK and everything else.
14:25
So that's awesome, man. So he posted and I'm assuming
14:27
some other people from the team came with him or?
14:30
Well, we had B Mitch and we had Santana and of course JD 5's
14:34
mom, his wife I believe was there, but I was on stage and so
14:39
I really couldn't see her, but I heard she was there and they
14:43
were just amazed that everyone that came out.
14:47
Good thing that some of those ladies are a little more clothed
14:50
than they were prior. I'm not too sure some people's
14:52
wives would have been happy about that.
14:53
But hey, Speaking of Jayden's mom, all right, I just want to
14:58
make sure I, I put this out there, You Washington fans that
15:03
are calling into these stations or on social media giving Jayden
15:08
and his mom a hard time because he gave her a thumbs up when he
15:12
was running in to the locker room after we got hurt the third
15:16
quarter. Need to seriously look at
15:19
yourself in the mirror right now and understand and think about
15:23
what the hell you're complaining about, right?
15:25
It's absolutely ridiculous to give that man a hard time
15:30
because he is telling his parent and his agent that he is OK,
15:35
right? I could not believe the Jackass
15:38
that called into the junkies this morning and the some of the
15:41
stuff I'm seeing on social media saying all this trash about our
15:45
quarterback just letting his parent know.
15:48
Like when Luke McCaffrey got knocked out right before the
15:52
half was over, I'm thinking either he got the wind knocked
15:56
out of him or he has concussion, right?
15:58
And he hit his head on the turf because he tried to hurdle
16:01
somebody and ended up landing on his back and hit his helmet,
16:04
right? And having met his dad and his
16:07
mom and family, I can only imagine what they are thinking
16:12
if they're not at the game and not knowing what's going on.
16:15
Thank God Jayden is OK. But I, I just, I don't
16:20
understand some of those idiots in our fan base that have a
16:26
problem with that man. They just, it, it drives me
16:30
insane. It I, I don't get it at all.
16:32
And yes, there's keyboard warriors and this and that.
16:34
People say whatever the hell they want to.
16:36
But for all of the people that are attacking him and attacking
16:39
his mom because all she wants is his best interest, guys,
16:44
freaking check yourself big time.
16:47
Well, we can best believe that if you ever played even pee wee
16:50
sports and you that hurt on the field, your parents or guardian
16:55
or whomever it may be is going to come down and check on you to
16:58
make sure that you're OK. And maybe not as a pee wee, but
17:02
high school, you know, college, you do the exact same thing.
17:07
You let them know that you're OK.
17:09
That's what you're supposed to do.
17:10
And I took it as, Hey, look, I'm, I'm injured, but I'm not
17:16
hurt or, or vice versa. I'm hurt, but I'm not injured,
17:20
if you will, so that I, I could still go on.
17:22
And, and that's, that's, that means, you know, and I also saw
17:26
a tweet that she said that, Hey, stop comparing my son to RG3,
17:31
you know, because he isn't RG3. And, and you're right, he isn't
17:37
totally different people, two different time frames.
17:40
The only thing that they have in common is they're African
17:43
American black quarterback for the Washington Football
17:46
Organization. That's it.
17:49
There there is no comparison. Yeah, she tweeted out 21 hours
17:53
and it's Monday evening. They're recording this.
17:57
I wish you would stop manifesting RG3 on my son.
18:01
Words are powerful. And that's all that's talked
18:03
about with two prayer hand emojis.
18:05
And it's just, I, I almost think at times that there are these
18:11
fake fans that want the team to fail, that want the young man to
18:17
fail because they can go back and say, I told you so or it's
18:23
the same old Washington team or, right.
18:27
We never should have did this to that.
18:28
I mean, none of these people were acting like this last year
18:31
when we went on that run. None of these people were doing
18:33
it. I would love to see some of the
18:35
people's tweets that we're talking about Jaden and his mom
18:39
now and what they're actually tweeting last year when we're
18:41
beating lions, right? And you talk about how is the
18:45
brotherhood doing? How are they holding up in a
18:48
locker room right now when we're three and four and Jaden's hurt
18:50
for the second time this season, Right to me, how's the fan base
18:54
doing? Right, to me, I'm, I'm kind of
18:56
embarrassed about some in our fan base right now about some of
19:01
our brothers and sisters and how they're acting on social media.
19:05
And I get it. It's social media, right?
19:06
It's just, you can't take anything seriously there.
19:08
But to attack him and attack his mom saying it's the same thing
19:14
as RG3's dad, telling the coaches what place to run, that
19:19
couldn't be farther from the truth.
19:21
Not even close at all. And and I just, I wish those
19:25
people would really cheer for a different team, right?
19:29
Because you're obviously not fans of this team trying to
19:31
spread rumors and say crap like that.
19:33
Yeah, she's in the spotlight, but that's just it, that's it.
19:37
She's not going into the locker room at halftime saying, like
19:41
you said, what plays to call or what not to do with her son.
19:44
That's that's not her MO at all. But she she's in the limelight
19:48
and she's a public figure, a very well known public figure.
19:52
And so everyone wants a piece of her, if you will.
19:57
So, but just guys just calm down and normally.
20:02
When she comes to these events, she doesn't even have security
20:06
because she's even though she has that status, she's just like
20:10
you or me. And but now I think what you
20:14
guys are going to probably do, you may ruin it in all actuality
20:18
for her not being want to come, want to come out because nobody
20:22
wants to hear that. And yeah, we know we're going
20:23
through a through a bad time as a team right now.
20:26
But but you don't want to be a part of that negativity or
20:28
whatever have you. You just want to be able to say,
20:31
Hey, I'm I'm coming to see you guys as as a one, as a fan and
20:37
two, as J DS mom. She wants to be amongst the
20:41
fans, but you guys may stop that.
20:44
And it would truly be tragic if she stopped coming because of
20:48
what you guys say on social media.
20:51
I believe luckily, she's a lot stronger than that.
20:54
But at the same time, you human, and there's only so much you can
20:57
take. Yeah, I mean, I just, I remember
21:00
last year being there with her and up in Philly, having to set
21:04
that rope aside, and she was just trying to eat some food and
21:07
people were coming by trying to take pictures.
21:09
It it felt like we were at a zoo and people were just watching
21:14
everything going on. And it's just like, guys just
21:16
let him eat. She's going to come out, take
21:18
some pictures here in a little bit, right.
21:20
It's just, I don't ask athletes for autographs when I see him.
21:24
I've never been in autograph town.
21:26
I really don't ask guys for pictures because I just, I don't
21:29
want to bother them when they're out.
21:30
I understand that you know all the people are different, but to
21:35
go on and attack her and her son when literally no one knows his
21:41
status, no one knows how bad the injury is.
21:44
Yes, he is jogging to the locker room at that point, but no one
21:47
really knows and it just will move on.
21:51
It just drives me crazy with some of the people in the fan
21:53
base, man. I just, I understand that there
21:55
are some people out there that pose as commanders fans just
22:00
because they live in the area. They live in the DMV.
22:02
But what a fan really say and do and act the way some of you guys
22:07
are acting towards Jaden, towards her, some towards Terry,
22:12
right? I get some of you guys are
22:13
pissed off that Terry is out right now and he's hurt and we
22:18
haven't had them. And you think it's because he
22:21
held out during training camp, right?
22:23
I mean, let's be real, Austin Echo didn't hold out during
22:26
training camp and he's done for the season, right?
22:30
Dorrance Armstrong didn't hold out during training camp and he
22:33
got hurt, right? Who was who just got announced
22:35
today. That's done for the year.
22:38
Was it Actually, you know what? Stop hearing from me.
22:40
Let's see, coach talk about it. Dan, can you fill us in on any
22:45
MRI update on Jayden and then on Doris Armstrong too?
22:49
Yeah, fill in on both. So want to start with the with
22:53
the bad news. So DA he's he's got a
22:55
significant injury, it's going to knock him out.
22:57
And so that's hard, you know, when he's really coming on like
23:01
he has. So I had a chance to visit with
23:03
him today and yeah, that's, that's a hard one for us.
23:07
And yeah, I'm just bummed for him to like he was really
23:10
starting to make his mark, John, in that way.
23:13
Jaden had an MRI on his hamstring today.
23:15
Good news. Not significant or long term,
23:19
but I don't know the status for Monday night just yet.
23:21
I'll have a better sense as I get closer to it with the extra
23:25
day and what that looks like. But the good news came back, but
23:28
not a long term thing. But I I just can't answer
23:32
tonight where I'm at with the game with it being Monday.
23:34
So I have a better feel for you guys when we get to Thursday.
23:38
So this week it's pushed back with Monday.
23:40
So Thursday will be like a Wednesday and on and on down the
23:43
week. So I'll give you a better sense
23:45
for that. Just guys are obviously dropping
23:51
like flies right now. Dorrance done.
23:53
I mean he was hurt during the week and then he came in, ended
23:58
up playing and then got a completely different injury,
24:00
right Debo, right, Debo's got the bad heel.
24:04
Debo was there during training camp.
24:06
Debo was there during pre season.
24:08
He's just banged up right? And I just it, it sickens me to
24:12
see exactly it's a rough game that this 53 man roster for a
24:15
reason, even though only 22 play right out there on any given
24:19
time on offensive defense. There's a reason why it's a big
24:22
roster and it just it sickens me that our fan base is attacking
24:26
our players because they're injured or because they weren't,
24:29
you know, coming after Noah Brown.
24:31
You think Noah Brown wants to be hurt?
24:34
You think he wants to be stuck on IR and not be able to
24:36
contribute and help his team. Obviously he doesn't.
24:39
But going after and people yelling at Devo because they
24:42
missed their parlay because he didn't have more catches last
24:46
week. I mean it, some of it.
24:49
Man, that just drives me crazy. That's what it, that's what
24:51
it's, it's come down to it. It's come down to just that
24:55
right there. And I see now why, for instance,
25:01
we're in LA and he says, I said, hey, Deebo, can I get a picture
25:06
now? Now, Cap, I'm not taking any
25:08
pictures. It's stuff like that.
25:11
They don't want their pictures to be used against them.
25:14
And so I, I can clearly understand why I don't like it
25:18
because I feel you're a public figure.
25:20
And if somebody wants to take a picture, then so be it.
25:23
But let me say this, you know what, Ted?
25:24
And, and I, I got to apologize to a young man who asked me to
25:29
take a picture Sunday, but I was running late for the bus and I
25:33
said, man, I, I really got to catch my bus.
25:35
So I apologize. I, I don't know what his name
25:38
was, but he asked for a picture and, and you know, a lot of
25:41
times I'll try to, hey, come on, let's let's walk and take a
25:44
picture really quick. So I apologize for that, but
25:46
that was only because, you know, I, I was on a tight schedule and
25:49
I had to catch this bus Any other time, of course, I'll take
25:54
a picture. I signed autographs, whatever
25:57
you want me to do. But that time, yes, Sunday, I
26:00
was running late for my bus so I couldn't do it.
26:02
No, I get it man. When I'm at the tailgate, I get
26:04
people that ask me can we take a picture?
26:06
And I just I am so busy back there running around at the end
26:11
when I'm done cooking, I'll come out when the guys are kind of
26:14
cleaning up and doing stuff before I got to clean up and
26:15
start putting the grills away. And if they're still there, I'll
26:18
definitely I'll take pictures with everybody.
26:19
But just like I just I go back to last year, people standing
26:23
outside the bathroom trying to take a picture with Jane's mom.
26:27
I'm like, let the woman use the restroom, right?
26:30
It just like it it I don't I don't get it, man.
26:33
And fan is short for fanatical. OK, I understand that it's not
26:39
missed on me, but guys, just, and hopefully it's not our
26:43
listeners. Hopefully it's just other people
26:44
out there that are just that crazy.
26:47
I just, I remember being because I used to help Larry Michael
26:50
with AI, regardless of the name of the show, it was filmed at
26:55
Gordon Biersch in Tyson's Corner and I would help Larry with
26:59
security and do other stuff there.
27:01
There was a guy that came in that legit had two dozen
27:05
deflated footballs in a backpack that he was trying to get
27:10
signed, but I want to say it was Cooley or Jason Campbell or
27:13
someone else. They told him now he's not going
27:16
to do that. And if you have two dozen
27:18
footballs, odds are you're selling these things later on
27:21
for profit or doing something else.
27:22
You're not having it and put it in your collection.
27:24
So they told him no. The guy stormed out of Gordon
27:28
Biersch and kicked a hole in one of the cylinder pylons in the
27:33
mall. The point of it's just a massive
27:36
hole there. So mall security had to come and
27:38
arrest him and take him away, right?
27:40
It's just stuff like that where you talk about, you know, them
27:45
not wanting to be around anymore, right?
27:47
You know, not putting words in Miss Jackson's mouth.
27:49
But it wouldn't surprise me if some people's families just
27:52
didn't want to come out and be a part of it.
27:54
And I just wish that someone a fan base.
27:57
Yes, it sucks right now, man. We're we're three and four and
28:00
we got Kansas City on the horizon and another tough match
28:04
up after that and after that. But just act like we've been
28:07
there before. Just act like we know how to
28:11
handle success and handle adversity and things will fall
28:14
into place. I I don't know what's going to
28:16
happen this season. I don't know what's going to
28:18
happen the rest of the season or let alone Monday, right?
28:20
All I know is we're still going to support the team.
28:24
He's still going to be our quarterback.
28:25
None of that's going to change anytime soon, hopefully.
28:28
And we just heard from DQ that he's got a bum hamming right
28:31
now. And I honestly, I don't know if
28:35
he should play with a hamstring injury because that to me is
28:37
something that could get even worse and exacerbate for the
28:40
rest of the season. But we'll figure out Thursday
28:42
when coach talks what's actually going to go on.
28:44
But when you saw Jaden go down, what did you think?
28:49
Well, I can tell you what I didn't think.
28:51
I didn't think, Oh, here goes another RG3.
28:53
I, I didn't think that. I thought, oh, that looks, that
28:56
looks that didn't look too good for my ankle.
28:59
And and then you can kind of see how when someone gets hit like
29:04
that and then you see them start in One Direction and then come
29:09
back to another direction and let you know it's something
29:12
serious because he he went down and he started to kind of
29:15
collapse a little bit over. But then he he went back up and
29:19
let you know, now he's riding in pain and it didn't look good.
29:23
So I just said, all right, whatever it is he's done for the
29:28
for the day, just keep him out. And sure that they brought
29:30
Mariota and I didn't know the extent and I even text you, Hey,
29:33
what are they saying on TV about it?
29:34
So. Yeah, and I just, they said,
29:39
would he have come back in if the score wasn't so bad and DQ
29:44
didn't want to allude, yes or no?
29:47
He didn't want to give anyone any false hope.
29:49
I think he's kind of learned his lesson because he has said for
29:51
two weeks in a row that Terry is looking good.
29:54
And for the past two weeks, Terry hasn't played.
29:58
So, I mean, we talked about with Rivera, less is more.
30:02
I think when it comes to these injuries, less is more.
30:04
DQ, right? Just don't give us that posit
30:07
that hope, right? That hope that Jada might be OK,
30:10
that hope that Terry might be there for that weekend.
30:13
And then when he doesn't, everyone's so upset to me.
30:18
Just let me think he's not going to be there.
30:20
And then if he is, it's icing on top, right?
30:23
Let me eat my cake without that icing.
30:25
Then if he's there, here we go. All right, I'm I'm happy about
30:28
it and we have a better shot. I mean, right now, I mean,
30:32
watching this past week, you and I talked about, you know, why
30:36
are they deferring? Why are they deferring and
30:39
getting the ball at halftime? And I'm thinking to myself when
30:42
it's happening real time, we got that touchdown, right?
30:45
And they had what, 45 seconds left in the half, 45 seconds
30:51
left in the half, man, and we were going to get the ball at
30:54
halftime. Right is all right.
30:56
I almost want to text. You see, that's why you defer 30
31:00
seconds later. Not even, right?
31:03
They freaking drive down the field and score damn touchdown.
31:06
And it was just nothing like it was nothing.
31:09
I mean, the entire, then this is, it's actually, it's why I
31:12
picked Dallas to beat us, because our defense is just bad,
31:16
right? Doris Armstrong, our third
31:18
defensive end, third is done for the year, right?
31:23
Devonta, Jean Baptiste, I mean, I can just keep going down the
31:26
list of all the players we've had hurt, DQ said.
31:29
Injuries are not what lost us that game.
31:31
Injuries aren't why we got our butt whooped.
31:35
And I understand he has to say that because he's the head
31:38
coach. You can't blame anything on
31:39
that. But realistically, you've got
31:43
guys out there that wouldn't be starting wide receivers for any
31:47
NFL team, right? I mean, who is Chris Moore going
31:51
to play? I mean, who's Robbie Chosen
31:53
going to play for? There was a reason why he was
31:55
sitting on his freaking couch, just like you and me just a
31:58
little bit ago. And granted, he he had a good
32:00
game. Shocker.
32:02
He actually had a better game than freaking Jalen Lane and
32:07
Luke McCaffrey. Surprising.
32:09
I just, I couldn't believe it. Lane had 46 snaps, Luke had 36,
32:16
Chosen had 33. But with 33 snaps, he had a half
32:19
a lot more of an impact than the other two guys.
32:23
Agreed. And I was saying, who is this
32:26
guy? And chosen, That's who it was I
32:28
was. Trying to think to myself,
32:30
because he's #12 I think it's like, who is, who's 12?
32:33
Man? It, it reminds me of years ago
32:36
when we were playing Seattle in Seattle and I can't remember
32:41
what quarterback it was. It introduced himself to his
32:43
offensive lineman for the first time in the locker room.
32:46
I remember that. And I had to pull up a roster to
32:51
find out who some of these players were.
32:53
And that's honestly what it feels like right now watching
32:56
our team because I don't know who some of these guys are that
32:59
are out there on the field, right?
33:01
I recognized 80 yank off because of the horrible play he had the
33:05
week prior. But you got guys coming in and
33:07
it's just injuries are obviously a factor, but who do you blame
33:13
or what do you blame on defense for letting them drive down the
33:15
field in 30 seconds? That's coaching.
33:23
It's it's coaching. It's possibly the coach is not
33:28
communicating with the players on what not to do.
33:33
But and I, you know me, man, I'm I'm I'm Birdy and go through and
33:39
through bro. It it was very difficult to
33:41
watch and everybody gets it this game.
33:46
There's there's no easy way out. Everyone does offense, defense,
33:50
special teams. I mean, there was a bright spot
33:52
with Tress Wade not pinning them back within the one.
33:56
I think we got a safety after that.
33:58
So that was a that was a highlight.
34:00
So that so on one aspect, special teams did OK, But if you
34:06
don't have the offense and the defense to compliment the
34:08
special teams, then it's all for not.
34:11
And basically that's where we are right now.
34:14
You know, we talked about complimentary football during
34:17
the last pod and I mean, all three phases failed this past
34:22
week, right? It's just the defense from the
34:25
start. I mean, going through my
34:27
notebook, I just all I saw was I'm picking on Lattimore, right?
34:30
It's just I put a tweet out yesterday a little poll.
34:34
It's can we officially call this Lattimore trade a bust at this
34:38
point? Options were not yet.
34:41
And the other option was yes it was a bad trade and 92.8% say
34:47
yeah it was a bad trade and just Lattimore getting abused.
34:53
I mean, yeah, guess who had the worst PFF grade for the defense?
34:58
Who? Marshawn Lattimore, I mean a
35:02
29.2 all right. Yeah, it's it's like Marshawn
35:09
St. just is, is what it seems like because he's just getting
35:13
picked on and I've seen so many memes of his picture on some
35:18
burnt toast. And I did see.
35:21
That too. I, I, I tried to give the man
35:25
the, the benefit of the, of the doubt and saying, Nah, Manny, he
35:28
didn't play well because of his injury and he's going to come
35:31
back totally healthy. And, and you know what tip for
35:35
me? I guess I shouldn't talk bad
35:40
about any player because, and I'm not going to talk bad about
35:43
him. I'm just going to say he had a
35:44
bad performance. So that's, that's the difference
35:46
between talking bad and, and what truthfully happened.
35:49
He had a bad performance. The team overall had a bad
35:51
performance. I know that I can't get out
35:53
there and do it. So I'm not going to talk bad
35:56
about something that I can't do. But we collectively have to do
36:03
better. We, we just do.
36:05
I don't know how you get there. I don't.
36:07
I don't know what this level, you know, at this level you're a
36:10
pro. What can they teach you or show
36:13
you that you suppose you already?
36:15
I suppose I know. So it's got to be better, man.
36:20
They do. And it's just Lattimore being on
36:24
an island out there against Pickens, against Lamb, at one
36:29
point he was on Tolbert. So I'm thinking, OK, finally a
36:31
receiver he can handle, right? But against Pickens and Lamb,
36:35
they were just, they're tearing them up, right?
36:37
They're just carving through them like a hot knife through
36:39
butter. And it, it's just, it's
36:41
frustrating. And then you got fans that just
36:42
want to cut them. Just cut them down.
36:44
Just be done with it, right? I'm looking at the depth chart.
36:49
Do you know who Antonio Hamilton Senior is?
36:54
Maybe you said senior. Yeah, Antonio Hamilton senior
36:57
#34 on our team. No, I don't know him, but that
37:02
tells me that he has a junior somewhere.
37:05
So that's, that's what I, I guess I know.
37:08
I know nothing about him either, but that is who is Lattimore's
37:12
backup on the depth chart? Well, let me let me say this
37:15
Ted, let me say this, I think as a coach and and this is just
37:22
this is just reality captain talk.
37:26
When Bill had his fumble, what they do, it took him out.
37:33
So it it may be time to put the senior in and see Hamilton
37:39
senior and see what he can do. I don't know.
37:42
But you, you, you, you have to try to do something.
37:47
Yeah, something's got to change up.
37:48
I agree with you 1000%, right? And so, and this is no knock on
37:51
Antonio Hamilton senior, right? He was a unrestricted free agent
37:54
that we picked up from Atlanta. We signed him in August.
37:59
We put him on the practice squad.
38:01
And let's see here in August, he got elevated from the practice
38:05
squad, then went back down to the practice squad and got
38:08
elevated again. So right, he is on our team,
38:12
he's on our roster. Is he better than Lattimore?
38:15
I have no idea. To me, you cannot just say cut
38:19
the guy because you got your roster, right?
38:24
I I don't know who else we're going to get to come in.
38:26
Obviously, you know, they got in chosen and brought him in here.
38:29
You think it's going to get better if you just drop
38:31
Lattimore, put some other guy in?
38:32
I don't think so, right? And Lattimore is not the only
38:34
guy that's playing poorly, right?
38:36
He's just on an island. I mean, Mikey had a 53 cover
38:40
grade. Sandra still did a hell of a lot
38:42
better last year. And maybe it's because he's
38:44
playing on the inside, not the outside.
38:47
B Mitch was talking about the day where he could use the
38:49
sideline to help him cover guys. Now he's playing interior.
38:54
So he's on an island and guys can go left and right on him
38:57
versus before they could only go one way, right?
39:00
Maybe you move Lattimore to safety, right?
39:03
Maybe put him back there and do something else.
39:06
But what they're doing right now obviously is not working.
39:09
And they actually asked Dan Quinn about has he thought about
39:14
potentially calling the plays? And this was his response.
39:16
Hey, coach, are there were there any moments today where you kind
39:21
of said, I'm going to call plays or I'm going to make a decision
39:26
on what's next or what we do next?
39:28
Does that happen? No, I, I'm on the headsets on
39:30
all pages and talking through ideas and discussions, game
39:35
management, all of it. So I'm pretty talkative all the
39:39
way throughout. Offensively when we would go,
39:41
when we wouldn't on some of the 4th downs, defensively, third
39:45
downs and some of the ideas to go.
39:47
But like I said, when performances are like that,
39:52
that's you dig in and you find answers and that's what I intend
39:56
on doing. I just, I don't know.
40:02
How they can fix it right short of moving players around or just
40:09
going balls of the wall, blitzing constantly and you live
40:14
by the blitz, you die by the blitz.
40:15
I just, I don't know. I don't know what else we can do
40:17
from a defensive perspective because the front 4 is not
40:20
getting there and the back end can't keep up in coverage
40:24
because we're not getting enough pressure up front.
40:26
So you got to do something to fix it, because right now we're
40:31
just getting picked apart. No doubt, man.
40:36
And I, I'm not even going to pretend to to say that I know I
40:42
just hate being in this land of purgatory right now.
40:47
And we we can't get out of our own way with the with the with
40:50
the penalties, with the injuries, with the play calling.
40:56
I mean, I think on every first down we ran the ball or
41:00
attempted to run the ball and I said man it, why can't we?
41:06
You, you asked me when did I feel it was going to go downhill
41:09
Is when they took their possession and like the third
41:13
play they went down the field and got API called and I and I
41:17
said, OK, we can return and do that exact same thing.
41:21
But I never saw them throw the ball down the field, at least
41:26
not the way that that Dallas did.
41:28
Dak the ball down the field and and Lattimore got API.
41:32
We set them up for their first score.
41:34
And I said that's what we need. And that's why I was like, no,
41:37
don't let this be don't let this be this type of game.
41:40
And it ended up being that type of game.
41:43
Yeah. I mean, we started 6 of A7 games
41:47
with a punt or a turnover. I just think about that six or
41:51
seven starts with either a punt or a turnover.
41:55
That is just, it's insane, right?
41:58
And the offense looks too predictable.
42:00
If we're going 13 personnel, meaning three tight ends or two
42:03
tight ends and Trent Scott coming in as another tight end
42:06
eligible receiver, we are running the ball.
42:09
You're not fooling anybody, right?
42:12
So they're stacking the box against us or you got that one
42:15
receiver out there. Sorry, but John Bates and Zach
42:19
Ertz and Chris Moore feel like a broken record.
42:21
You're not worried about them busting a play deep.
42:24
You're not worried about them taking the top off the defense
42:26
or doing anything. So Bill didn't really have
42:29
anywhere to go, right? And it's just it was so painful
42:34
trying to watch her offense get 10 yards and Dallas getting 60.
42:41
Chunks. Chunks.
42:42
I mean, the massive chunk plays and then once we finally started
42:46
going somewhere, you talked about the penalties where we had
42:49
11 for $1.18 and OK, that was ABS penalty on Martin for that
42:55
rough in the passer. I mean, Dax helmet fell off his
42:58
head, right? So, OK, take that away.
43:01
But I mean, OK, Sam Cosby coming back, it's fourth and one at the
43:06
47 and he fall starts, right? I mean, just a mental mistake
43:11
like that right there in a crucial spot where you're going
43:14
to go for it to try and keep up with them on offense and you
43:18
shoot yourself in the foot, right?
43:20
It just, it constantly happened, right?
43:22
A holding penalty where we were going to start off at the 24
43:25
yard line because of 1 of Mccaffrey's returns.
43:27
And now we're at the 14, right? And just starting behind the 8
43:30
ball again. And you're not doing yourself
43:33
any favors when you play like that.
43:36
And to not have discipline football, I think that's what
43:40
surprises me the most, where the injuries I get.
43:45
But to have the players be so undisciplined when it's Week 7
43:52
that to me there's no excuse. Well, when you have a lot of
43:58
guys that are off due to, I guess bet preference or bet
44:03
status, if you will, maybe sometimes it's more difficult
44:07
for them to be able to do that to, to have that cohesiveness
44:11
that we always talk about. You know, we, we're, we're
44:15
switching guys in and out. It's it's just hard to to have
44:19
that togetherness, especially in an environment like AT&T
44:23
Stadium, because it was pretty loud.
44:25
I wanted to ask you how loud was it when Cosby jumped off sides?
44:29
Yeah, it was pretty loud, man. It's pretty loud.
44:33
You know, I think it back when we were in LA and and it was
44:37
like 6545 commanders. Yeah, that was the difference.
44:44
Well, no, this Dallas has an advantage.
44:47
And their fans were loud. Their fans knew the assignment,
44:51
as they always say, because Dallas right now is they're
44:56
they're cheering, which I would be too.
44:59
I don't care who you put in front of me, whether you're
45:01
limping in or whether you're at full strength.
45:03
Our job is to is to win. They won and they gave their
45:06
fans something to cheer about because last week they took AL
45:12
from a inferior team. They were not going to allow
45:16
Olympic team to come in and win. They just weren't.
45:20
So what do you think the percentage was of them versus
45:23
US? I'd say 7030.
45:26
Yeah they they didn't show you per SE on the broadcast.
45:32
You can see during Mcnichols run where he broke 4 tackles was
45:37
towards your end zone. Only reason I know that because
45:39
I saw the flag right from the side at that point, but they
45:43
didn't really show any Washington fans at all in the
45:46
crowd. I mean, we had no real
45:48
highlights for them to kind of focus on us.
45:51
And then at one point they showed Lattimore on the bench
45:55
with his helmet off just screaming right, just like in
46:00
agony almost as if like someone stabbed him or something.
46:03
It just it was painful to see and for me when the defense just
46:09
let them run all the way down right before the half and we
46:13
messed up on our chance to double up thinking, all right,
46:15
this is this is done, right. They never gave me a belief that
46:20
we could hang tight because it was going to be a shoot out,
46:22
right? This the overrunner was 54 1/2,
46:25
right? And he got to what, 66?
46:27
And that's because Dallas let their foot off the gas.
46:28
It would have got to a hell of a lot worse than that.
46:30
So it was just it was so frustrating to see.
46:33
And I think about and I don't know how much you follow
46:37
baseball, but the Nationals, you know, Rizzo was the GM for the
46:42
Nationals and he got fired because he wouldn't fire Davey,
46:47
his manager, right? And DQ was a loyal son of a
46:52
bitch, right? I don't think he's going to do
46:55
anything to Joe wit. I don't think he's, I mean, it's
46:57
year 1, 1/2 of them being together and you got fans that
47:01
want Joe Wit gone, Joe wit this, Joe Wit that.
47:04
And we talked about during the Rivera era, Rivera didn't want
47:07
to get rid of Del Rio because Del Rio insulated Rivera to a
47:11
degree, right? You had a scapegoat where you
47:13
could point if something went wrong.
47:15
I'm not saying that's what DQ is doing, but realistically, I
47:19
don't see them making a coaching change at all at this point in
47:22
the season. It's way too early.
47:24
Well, what they're going to say is, OK, we make a coaching
47:26
change, but we still have the personnel that we have that
47:29
hadn't changed. But sometimes I may make a cake
47:37
with the same ingredients that you have, but your cake just
47:40
tastes better than mine. So it's something to think
47:45
about. I'm not saying that you should
47:47
or shouldn't, but it's something to think about and give some new
47:52
ideas possibly of what we can do.
47:55
What are you seeing that's not working to make it work?
48:00
I mean they had talked about moving Joe it down to the field
48:05
instead of being up in the booth, bring him down there with
48:08
the DBS, everyone else because obviously our secondary is
48:10
getting torched. I mean they was also asked are
48:14
there any considerations in changing people positions and
48:16
this was that DQ had to say about it.
48:18
And then on the the back end of the defense, I know, I know you
48:21
basically said of the game that all things are on the table as
48:24
you sort of dig into it, but has there been any consideration to
48:28
make any personnel changes on the back end or anywhere else on
48:30
the defense? Yeah, we'll look like I said
48:33
tonight, we're really digging in on some more to find it Nikki
48:36
and see you know what changes could be there for us.
48:40
But before I get into, you know, I want to go through everything
48:43
and then take all the information and then make our
48:45
decisions from there. So.
48:48
But I am looking for more consistency, that's for sure.
48:49
I. Mean to me, DQ is leaving
48:54
everything on the table. He's not saying he's not going
48:57
to do it, he's not saying he's going to do it.
48:58
He's just leaving all options open because of Chicago abused
49:04
us and Dallas abused us two weeks in a row and who we got
49:07
next. So if you don't change what's
49:11
happening, I mean, this defense is on a historic record at this
49:14
point. So I don't know what to expect
49:17
going to go up against the Chiefs and we'll talk about that
49:19
later. All I know is right now the
49:23
offense can't score because we don't have our weapons and were
49:26
injured. And I mean I was honestly fine
49:29
with Mariota coming in until he threw that pick 6 to Bland.
49:33
But Dallas didn't prep for Mariota.
49:36
We were already down too much for him to really make a
49:39
difference. But the offense did seem to look
49:42
a little bit better with him moving it because he just least
49:46
on his own reads. He did some things differently.
49:49
Yeah, he he definitely did some things differently and it
49:54
showed. And maybe because he's second
49:58
string that those are the guys that he plays with all the time.
50:01
So maybe there is some type of cohesion is there?
50:04
Like you said, what's done is done.
50:08
And I always say you can't continue to cry over the milk.
50:11
It's it's spilled, let it go. It's time to clean it up and and
50:14
buy some more milk. So here we are.
50:19
We're buying more milk for the Kansas City game.
50:23
So who do you think had the best game on offense in the best game
50:27
on defense from a great perspective?
50:29
So Ted, you know, when we were going through the whole training
50:35
camp and Terry, hold out, I said it is going to be someone who is
50:41
a a non household name that's going to become a household
50:44
name. Well, I think that the person
50:46
who solidify that spot is chosen.
50:49
He became a household name in the Burgundy and gold fan base.
50:54
So I'm looking and and to me he he like he has some speed.
50:58
So I'm surprised that they didn't didn't give him a goal
51:00
ball and and hey, just get it, you know, cause of cause some
51:06
type of Pi chosen. To me, I felt he had a great
51:10
game for being someone who was just added to the roster
51:18
defense. I thought I saw pain around the
51:23
ball a lot and that's what I thought.
51:25
You. Were mistaken, but OK, so I got
51:28
to give it to pain. You know, pain is saying, hey
51:30
man, I even know what's going on.
51:32
I'm not going to let this stop me from doing what I got to do.
51:35
Yeah, and I mean, I gave my key player to watch and it was
51:39
Duron, right? Need to get some pressure up the
51:42
middle. And Duron had the highest grade
51:44
on defense for the team, 90.8. His run defense was an 84, his
51:48
pass rush was a 70.9, right? So Duron definitely stepped up.
51:53
Chosen was a 65.7 according to PFF, right?
51:58
I mean, he just he was impactful, right?
52:01
For me, I loved what I saw out of Jeremy Mcnichols, right?
52:05
Mcnichols on offense, he was a threat.
52:08
He was picking up blocks. He was a 66.9 pass block grade,
52:13
right? And I'm looking at Bill's pass
52:16
block grid. It was a 74.4.
52:18
So Bill apparently has stepped that up.
52:20
But see Mcnichols pick up some of those blitzes and then leak
52:24
out. He was a threat in the backfield
52:26
and out in the flat just catching those balls.
52:28
And we got to do something, man. Maybe seeing a little more of
52:32
him. And I'm not trying to say a
52:34
recency bias. Mcnichols has always been that
52:36
kind of a threat. They just been trying to feed
52:37
the hot hand and maybe you give him some more carries, right?
52:42
Do something else to get him going.
52:44
And we did see Chris Rodriguez and he kind of chugged along for
52:48
that one yard. I mean, his runs are tough, man.
52:51
It's it's just I feel like it's like a car wreck every time he
52:55
carries that ball and he just runs someone over.
52:58
But the. Bowling ball.
53:00
Yeah, yeah. Definitely.
53:01
But Mcnichols on offense was the only bright spot I could
53:06
actually think of. And on top of seeing Sam Cosby
53:09
back out there, right? It was great to see Sam because
53:11
the last time we saw him when he was in Detroit and got, you
53:15
know, walked off that field and didn't do too well obviously
53:18
because of the injury. So it was awesome to see Cosby
53:22
back. I mean, I just, I don't want to
53:24
focus on the negatives or I just try to think of some positive
53:28
stuff heading into KC this week. And I mean, I don't think people
53:33
should get rally chains when we get our ass kicked that much.
53:36
But from you, what's a positive heading out of this past
53:42
weekend? Heading out of what we just saw.
53:46
Well, I said it earlier, Chosen choose, choose him to get him
53:49
the ball. Figure out a way to get him the
53:52
ball because he was a speedster. It looks like he's a speedster
53:56
at least, or maybe one of the faster, faster guys on the
54:00
receiving core. The only way that you're going
54:03
to have that run game opened up is you got to be able to throw
54:07
the ball down the field even if you force it.
54:12
That's just what I see. You got to force.
54:15
You got to force it. You may not want to and you may
54:18
get the ball picked off, but you something has to change because
54:24
I can guarantee you that when Dak threw that ball like the 3rd
54:28
play the game or 4th play the game, whatever have you, this
54:31
man wasn't open. He was covered.
54:36
And because of the coverage or lack of, we had to file.
54:41
But when you file, you create opportunities for the change of
54:45
field position. We have to do that.
54:48
If you, even if you don't want to, just do it because Kansas
54:53
City is a powerhouse. They are they and they once
54:56
again, they don't care. You play who you matched up
55:00
against, they don't care. So call out.
55:07
Yeah, it's a 9 1/2 point spread and over unders 48 1/2 in that
55:11
game right now. So it's I'm surprised that the
55:15
over under is that low considering what it just was
55:18
this past week. But maybe it's because we don't
55:19
know who's going to quarterback. For me, it's it's two people,
55:22
right? Two bright spots from this game,
55:25
Jordan McGee, I thought when he got out there, you could tell he
55:29
was out there and he was impactful, right?
55:32
He only played 33% of the snaps, but the time he's getting it was
55:37
22 snaps on defense. He's making good use of his
55:40
time. He was the second highest grade
55:41
PFF player out there. He got a 85.1 on run defense, a
55:47
87 overall. And the second guy that really
55:51
sparked for me that I didn't really know what's on about was
55:55
Jacob Martin, right, 55, the linebacker.
55:58
They got the BS rough on the passer call.
56:00
I mean, his pass rush was relentless.
56:03
There are a couple times when it looked like he was stopped, but
56:06
his motor just kept going and he pressured DAC and actually got
56:09
to him. His pass rush grade was a 78.6,
56:13
which was the highest out of anyone on the defense.
56:16
And I want to see more of that. And this is this is no offense
56:19
to to Von Miller, right? Let's be realistic.
56:22
Von's a one year rental, right? These are guys that are going to
56:26
be here hopefully longer than that, and we're getting a chance
56:30
to see them shine to a degree in obvious situations where things
56:36
aren't really the best. So those two things are the
56:40
positive takeaways I can, you know, have from just that butt
56:44
whooping. And then the third is we only
56:46
play them one more time. I pray to God.
56:49
Christmas. That they put up a hell of a lot
56:52
better fight than they did this time because please don't ruin
56:56
my Christmas. Y'all ruined this past Sunday
56:59
but just please don't ruin my Christmas.
57:03
Well, I almost might want to say don't watch then.
57:06
You had some fans saying the season's going to be over by
57:08
then, so who cares? Still going to watch a game,
57:10
still going to go with the game. Keep going.
57:13
Yeah, you guys might not go, you might not want to watch, but
57:16
Riley and I are still going to be there.
57:18
Oh hell yeah. I'm waiting for him to have a
57:20
Rally Captain Santa costume or something going on for the game.
57:23
I don't know. The outfit's going to be at that
57:25
point. You got to have settled for the
57:30
holidays. I don't.
57:31
I don't need 2 monikers and one rally captain is I can't.
57:34
I can't do a Santa Animal rally, Captain.
57:38
Well, we'll figure it out. We got we got some time, but
57:41
man, it's kudos to you and everyone else that held it down
57:44
out there bar Libre. And I can't wait to do the same
57:48
thing with you guys this week coming up in KC.
57:50
That's right, it's going to be a wonderful time.
57:53
And once again, hey, sometimes that cake is better without
57:57
icing. You make I.
57:59
Want some icing this week man, I want some.
58:01
Ice, I want some too, but at the same time I'm going to eat cake.
58:06
I'm going to get, I'm going to have you some cake along with
58:08
BBQ along with some potato salad, some baked beans and all
58:12
that good stuff. So hey, I had music playing in
58:15
the background, which means that we are bringing another episode
58:19
to a close. Thank you guys for riding with
58:21
us and listening like subscribe and share if you can.
58:26
We greatly appreciate it. This was done Moving on to KC
58:31
brother. That's all you need to keep your
58:34
head up high folks. Still a long season ahead of us.
58:38
We'll see you on the flip side, remember you rapid hard, but you
58:41
don't have it at all to get to a rally.
58:43
Captain, we're out.
