  Speaker 1: now we're going to you know, I came this summer,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: you know, had a little bit of O T a's together,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: you know, spend a little bit of time together. Then
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: funny story is, I didn't even know what was going
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on at the time.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I was just like, oh, where's Terry, Like Terry's not here?

  Speaker 1: As a week went by, I'm like, Okay, it's O
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and don't got to be here and there, Hey Bobby
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Terry and he was like nah.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, what's going on? Then I started seeing
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: what was going on.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: But you know, congratulations on the new contractor know the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: process of it, bro, But just yeah, just talk to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: me how it went.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I know it's ups and down. It's always bumps in
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: that road. I've been there before, so just tell me
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Man. It was.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: It was an interesting situation, you know what I mean
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: coming into the off season. Uh, you know, there was
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: a plan to try to get a deal done, but
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: you know, everything's not Linears.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Life's not a straight line.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: So you know, I just had to take a step
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: back for a little bit and try to figure out
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: what was going to happen next. And as the summer
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: went on. I was away further than I longer than
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I thought I was gonna be, you know what I mean,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: But uh, it's the business side of football. You gotta
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: handle the business side. It goes along with uh football.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: It's just tough when those those two pass intersect. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the toughest part was being away from the team, you
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: know what I mean, being away from you when you
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: just first got here. I know, you a vet, but
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: like just welcoming you into the brotherhood, trying to, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: help show you the way. And also you know, I mean,
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: being able to build together in the off season was
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: is an important part of building the team. But I
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: think the great thing about it was I had your support.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I had all the support of the guys in the
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: locker room, offense, defense, and you know, I'm just glad
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: it got done, bro, you know what I mean. It
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: took a long time, literally all the way to the
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: end of camp. There's a lot of unknowns when when
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: you're dealing with the business side of football. But we
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: ended up being able to come to an understanding on
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: both ends. And I think the best part about it was,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: you know, Adam and I, Adam and my agent, we
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: had good conversations and found some common grounds. So I've
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: been here since twenty nineteen. Man, this is like my home,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: and I'm glad to be here with with you and
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: and the fans that we got, because I think we
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: got a really special team.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Nah for sure. Once again, congratulations on that. I know
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it is and you know you got what you did.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Ever for sure?
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: All right, We're going to switch to another game called
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Guess the Performance. Yeah, so, guests the performance, We're going
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: to show a picture and a base. On the picture,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to guess the stat line that you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: put up in this game. So any cleat or jersey
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: in the pick can be used. Okay, your stat line?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's see picture one.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Show up. I'm pretty sure he's gonna show this because
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: it's all blank.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah. We played the Bears this week. I think I
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: was five for one twenty one, twenty twenty five something.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Like that in a touchdown.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, you hit it right on heah hit
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it heah, All right, he got that one.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Got should have been too.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I kind of got tripped up, you know what I
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: mean on that deep ball, bro It should have been too.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: So I want to think about that one. That's still
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a great day. What a great day as a pop
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: for sure. All right, next picture, Oh yeah, hints for
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you if you need them. Yeah, that was a Monday
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: night football game. I think I had.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I want to say, four catches, one hundred yards in
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: a touchdown game, winning touchdown.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Oh he know these stats for show. He definitely right,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and kind of had some up and down.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So the big ones you remember the show them a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: hundred yard games, you remember.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: That was a big game for us. That was kind
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: of like our offense coming out party. You know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: We kind of started slow at the beginning of the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: season and then to come out against a good team
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: in Cincinnati on the road, and Jayden did his thing,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: put the ball up in the air and I came
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: down with it. So I felt like that really helped
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: get our offense rolling going forward from that point.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: All right, So we got one more before we talking
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a little Commanders football.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Ooh.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: I think this may have been my career high game
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: right here.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I think one hundred and forty one yards maybe six
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: catches and and a touchdown. Man, that was that was
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: a crazy game because mid game we switched to Jacoby
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: per said, Jacoby, that's my dog, Like he's he's a
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: great vet in this league.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And I remember him going down on the phield. It
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: was like, hey, bro, it's ball coming to you every time.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: So I'm out there dog tired and I just got
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: to win. So that was That was a crazy game.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, so we're definitely about to switch over to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, us as a team. Yeah, but before we
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: get there, we got to talk about a little bit
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of last year, so kind of like.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Walk me through the playoff run.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what was it like being an underdog in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: FC Championship up STID in Detroit and you know, you
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: balled out, Jayden balled.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Out and like and just give me a little bit
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: about the NFC Championship game. Yeah, bro.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: Honestly, the going into the playoffs we had we actually
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: went down to the wire with Dallas, and I believe
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: that game was pivotal to win because you don't want
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: to go into the playoffs with a loss, and that
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: would have been the second time we lost to Dallas.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: So for us to come out with that win going
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: into the playoffs, I felt like gave us a little momentum.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Then we go into Tampa, which is a tough team
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: to play against. You know, Top Bowls throws a lot
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: of disguises at young quarterbacks and quarterbacks just in general.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: And you know that game, we started off with a
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: deep ball to myself and I just felt like we
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: was really rolling during that game. You know, at the
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: end of the game, defense got a huge turnover after
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: we didn't get that fourth down, and uh, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: we was able to get the ball back score and
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: then and then ice that game. And then we go
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: into Detroit. You know, I felt like Detroit, that was
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: a crazy game because nobody was expecting us to win
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: that one. I feel like, you know that that wild
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: card game, like a lot of people it was maybe
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: like a toss up. But Detroit, I know, not too
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: many people saw us going into a team that had
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: a home field advantage and winning that football game. And
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: I felt like the turning point was when we threw
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: that screen to myself for a touchdown. Oz and Diomede
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: did a great job blocking, and uh, I took that
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: to the house and that next drive golf through a
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: pick six to Kwan and I was always on the popping.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Now, a.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Lot of people don't know Detroit.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: They got some they fans be talking that talk, and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: so I had a dude that was sitting like right
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: behind me and he was talking to me the whole game,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and then after my touchdown and that pick six, he
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: didn't say nothing else after that.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: So, uh, that was that was crazy.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: But to be in that type of atmosphere, that's the
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: first I had ever made it in the in the
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: playoffs before. And you know, for us to come out
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: on the winning side of a team that a lot
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: of people didn't think we was gonna win, that was
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: a great team win. And then you know, we go
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: into the NFC Championship and I just felt like, you know,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: we turned over the ball a lot. You can't give
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: a team like Philly, uh so many chances and we
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: was fortunate enough to beat them, and uh and uh
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: when we played them in at our stadium when we
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: had five turnovers, we beat them when we had five turnovers.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: So I you just wish you could have some of
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: those turnovers back. But uh, you know, they were Super
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Bowl champs and uh, you know, they played a great game.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: We just you know, shot ourselves in the foot and
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: then that was that was just tough. But I respect
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: by the way that we we We came in and
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: we competed at a high level. But when you win
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: those championship games, you got to minimize the mistakes, and
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: we didn't quite do that. So, uh, you know, we're
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: trying to get back there and get to the super Bowl.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: This shot for show. We definitely trying to do that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: So like last season, at like what point did you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: know that you guys was gonna make a make a
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: deep run off in the playoffs?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Man, it's a good question.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I'd probably say, like one of the biggest turning points
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: was the hell Mary. And I'm not gonna even just
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: say it was just as the hell Mary was such
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: a crazy play because that's just such a low percentage play,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: but like the way we executed at the end of
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: that game, it brought the life everything that DQ was
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: always preaching, you know, when the time moments, he's constantly
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: talking about that, And I feel like a lot of
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: teams in the NFL may go through those situational practices,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: but DQ we go through a situation pretty much every practice,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and it seemed like every situation he brought up in
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: practice showed up in the game and We were literally
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: ready for that play to come up, and I really
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: slept on part of that play was you know, they
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: were playing they were playing the hell Mary play before
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: we even had enough time to get it down there.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: So we called a little ten yard out to myself
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: and we got an extra three ten twelve yards right,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean? That put us in position
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: to get the hell Mary. And even the way we
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: executed that, like Noah was in his spot, Zach was
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: in this spot. I was getting double teamed and punched around,
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: but I was in my spot too, you know what
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I mean. So we just executed at a high level
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: at the end of that game, and I think at
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: that point we knew, like, all right, bet we can
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: make a run at this thing. No matter what the
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: score is, the game ain't over until it's over. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: I feel like we had that mentality but to go
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: and I prove it in that moment was a huge
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: part of our season.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: No facts, I didn't seen a lot of hair mirrors,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and you know a lot of them being called.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I've yet the complete.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: One, but definitely when y'all where y'all definitely called that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: when you had the dB in the back of the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: end zone, just celebrating for the game. Oh, bro, hey,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: shout out, shout out to him. Man, he's a hell
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of a competitor. Me and him were going back and
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: forth all game.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: And when I saw the clip of him getting the
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: crowd height and then he tipped the ball and gave
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: it right to know, I was like, yeah, yeah, man,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: that football is going to get his get back. But
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: much respect to those guys at the Bears, but yeah
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: that I've never been a part of a play like that,
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Like the whole it felt like the whole city.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Was rocking, you know what I mean?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: For sure, I know you kind of get this question
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a lot because I got to get it a lot.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Like talk to me about JD five. Yeah, he's in
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the second season now, So what separate him from other quarterbacks?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: You think, bro?
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I think his attention to detail for a young player
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: is second to none. You know, he's in here one
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: of the first guys in the buildings every single day.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: He's doing extra walkthroughs and extra film study before we
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: even have our installs.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: And you see how.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Meticulous in detail oriented when we get out to the field.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: And I think the biggest thing that you probably noticing
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: right now. But I've seen from his first year to
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: his this year right now, like his ability to now
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: he's taking command of the entire offense. He's telling guys like, hey,
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: I need you to be here. Hey, bro, we need
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: to do this differently. Uh, you know, communicating with Cliff,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: I like it to do it this way, you know
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: what I mean. We we got plays in He's trying
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: to put guys in the best advantageous situations to be successful.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: So you could just see his leadership come into life.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: And you know he likes to have fun out there too.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: His personality, I feel like he is infectious. And you know,
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I ain't even talked about his ability. He can make
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: all the throws. If you feel like you got everybody covered,
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: you better have somebody spying him because he's gonna take
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: off in that boy fast. So it's great to play
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: with a player like that, and especially being so young.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: And you could just tell he's a he's a pro
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: and he takes his career in his his preparation serious.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: And so when you got your leader and your quarterback
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: doing that, it makes everybody else's job more comfortable.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: When we're out there, it's just like, Oh, we about
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: to make something happen because he know what he's doing.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: It seems like he's always in control. He's never he
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: never shook or he's never rattled.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's kind of like the same thing for me,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: kind of like what you said of you know, seeing
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: how how well he is in the huddle. Yeah, I
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: think he's you know, way advanced in many aspects of
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: throwing the ball. How accurate it is and not too
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: many quarterbacks like as accurate as he years can make
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: every throw smart and how fast it process is.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: We kind of like a know hoodle offense. So you
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: got to get everybody what it needs to be.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Even if somebody don't know like facts, he's still gonna
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: make sure everybody know what they're doing before we get
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the boss.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So like that's kind of like something that stood out
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to me. And you know, at the end of the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: day's the quarterback. He got to be a leader, but
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: his leader skills just through the roof for sure.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: So like we're gonna talk about a little a little
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: what they called I don't know what the fans called
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: what they call him Bill because we call him Bill.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: The fans called him Bill.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we call him Bill. Yeah.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: So Bill scored his first sets down and you win
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: to out the ball? Yeah what was that? What was
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: that to you? Bro? Yeah?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Bro, Like I've always been a guy even before Bill
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: got here. Like when when a young guy or anybody
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: catch they first touched down, that's a big moment, you
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. We always little kids dreaming about
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: being in this situation to where we're playing in the NFL,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: living our dream, and then you get in that zone
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and a lot of guys, some guys don't know what
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to do. Bill got his little crazy, Bill gonna go crazy.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: So you know, I I saw the ball hit the
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: ground and those rest be quick to pick it up
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: and it's hard to find it after that.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hitting that, he hitting that. Now he's doing his thing.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: So I just let him do his thing. Man him,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: congratulated body. I make sure I go get the ball
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for him. And that's something I tried to do, uh,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: being a good VET.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: And I think that's you know, infectious, because those are
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: little things like that to show you know, you care
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: about your guys. And so that's not gonna be his
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: last touchdown, but you know that first one is always special.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: So he had one in in the preseason, Jaden got
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: it for him. But now we're in the regular season
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: and those really counts. So to get that ball back
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: to him, I know the he'll chair staff for the
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: rest of his life, not facts. You know, he's getting
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: a lot of love now.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he had a well, I think he
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: had a great game for you know, it's been his
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: first real game and the fans are loving him at
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: this point.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm an answer.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Before you before I ask you, like, what do you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: see from a guy like him that stands out like
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: throughout camp, like bro I was like this little kid
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he can play, Like the decision he was making, how
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: fast he see it and is putting the ground is
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: off to the races, and you know, it's always a
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: learning curve from you know, from college and now.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't know if a lot of people
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: know he didn't.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Get the players last college year Arizona because he had
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to sit out. He had he didn't have a he
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: didn't have a year egible to play, so he.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Played practice squad running back all year long.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they end up being a seven round pick to us.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: So he just popped out and he's just I'm telling
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: you that, you man, I know that.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Bill tough. That's what's up.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And then like just seeing him in camp, how he
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: came out and worked every day and got better day
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: by day, and it's just like you know, man, I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: just I think the skuy's the limit for me.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Hat all the beauty in the.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: World, bro, And I think, uh, he has a kid
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: like personality when he out there, you could tell he
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: loved football, and uh, when that ball is in his hand,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I don't feel like there's no hole that's too small
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: or too big for him to get through. And uh,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: if he gets up on the safety, you got to
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: have a plan as a defensive player to get him
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: on the ground because he can make you miss and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: he can he has the ability, uh to take it
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a long way and as we saw on Sunday, like
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you know, he could get he could cut back and
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: now he's all to the racest. So I think it
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: just as another dynamic playmaker to our offense, a guy
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you can hand the ball off to and he can
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: make big plays, which is huge. And the more plays
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that he makes back there and the offensive line opens
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: up for him, that's gonna open up the play action
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: game for us, because that's just another element that teams
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: have to account for when you got a dynamic back
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: in your backfield who can make one cut and get
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: north and south. No facts, all right, So enough for
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Bill back to us going in the week two, we
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: got the Packers. Yeah, so like, how does this team,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: like the Packers, you know, pose a different challenge?
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Man, I think going on the road it always poses
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: a challenge, especially when you're going into a place like Lambeau.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: You know, you play championship games there and it's a
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: tough place to play. And for this to be our
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: first road game of the season, Primetime, Thursday night football,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: all the lights is going to be on this game.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: And they just came off a big win against the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Lions of a division opponent. We just came off a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: big win against the Giants, a division opponents. So both
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: teams is one on one, want to know, want to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: know in the division, and so you know it's gonna
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: be a four quarter battle and you know their fans
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: are going to be super excited for the game that
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you're gonna hear, go pack go, you know what I mean,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: You're gonna hear that all game long, and I think
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: just the keys for all offenses just to be able
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to take care of the football man, which I think
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: we did a great job of last week and just
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: executed on the little players that we may have missed,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I felt like we were moving the ball great. We
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: may have had a penalty here, I miss opportunity there,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: but if we could capitalize, it really puts pressure on
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: on their defense to hang with us. But you know,
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: I got the most respect for that organization. They one
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: of the more the most historic organizations in the league.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: And it's gonna be a tough game. And you know,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: their offense has a lot of weapons as well with
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Jordan Love leading, So I know our defense is gonna
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: be ready. But you know, prime time is is when
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: we get to it. So I know we're gonna be
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: ready and feeling good.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: For it, no facts.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And I was just like I was talking to I
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: was talking Toby about this earlier. This is the first
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: time I ever get to play and they stadium and
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: it's not freezing. Hey, broy, it was my first time
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: ever not going there and it ain't freezing cold.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: If you know, you know, that's one of the coldest
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: places you can play.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: We're gonna get some good grass, light grass.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Did we listen? I ain't afraid of the cold. I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: know you're not afraid of cold. But when I seen
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: we played them in September and not December, to smile
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna smile a little bit, so
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: we it's gonna be fun. Now it's time for don't
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: settle segment presented by State Farm Settle. We got this
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: game where I'm gonna choose We're gonna say two routes
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that we would like to run. I'm gonna chose the
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: route that I think you are run. You picked the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: route that I think that you think that I'll run?
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: Say less cool?
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: All right, So we're gonna go go route or post route? Okay?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Can I ask a question?
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Quarters? There we go? Yeah, all right? So is it quarters?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Post route? Quarters? What you got posts? Okay? Okay.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: One, I'm gonna choose the post for Terry because a
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: lot of people see him run by a lot of
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: guys running straight go balls.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: But if you catch him in quarters, he's still gonna
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: run by you.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: And we get the safety to bite down a little
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: play pass and we we out there over the top.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I like that, bro, you know what I mean what
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I saw from you and camp people don't give you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: enough credit.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Doll.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: You be getting behind that defense now, and when you
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: got and when you got a quarterback like jd you
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: know he gonna put that ball right on the money.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: So we get quarters and you to the you to
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: the you to the number one side. That turns in
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the to almost like a one on one. So I'm
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: taking you, you know what I mean, And I know
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: the way Jaden sees the offense and sees defense as well.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: He gonna take that matchup every time.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: So if it's quarters, whether it's a post route, whether
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: it's a go route, we looking probably gonna get one
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: on one long as we can hold that that safety
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: in his place. So facts uh, we want I call
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: it the big fish like. I don't want that dig
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: on cover for it, No, I want that.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I want that take it over the top. Mom.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna go to slant route. Oh, we're gonna
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: go slant return. Okay, I got this, I got this right.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got this three two one.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got I go I go slant route.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I have seen this I have seen this movie before
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: what coach Bobby called it, running through the smoke.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I ain't gonna lie to you. I ain't.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I ain't know you was as fast until I watched
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you catch that one step slat against the Eagles last
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: year and then you got up out of there. I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: get that up.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: So I put the slant route for show.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, bro, because the slant route, I like
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: to just get that ball and get going.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: You. You know, you beat that safety. You got a
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: lot of room to run. You know what I mean?
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: For you, I put slant return.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of film where you run slants,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: but you run across the field.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: It's scary for defenses.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: So when you set them up off of a slant
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: and you hit them with that, it's one on one.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: You up out of there, and now you a tough
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: dude to tackle on open field. So I'm gonna put
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: you on the slant return.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna put you to the field with all that
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: space to work, and uh, I gotta set up the slant.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: First, So I'm I'm gonna let you touch a slint
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: real quick. Put you on that return, and we're gonna
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: get busy.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Last one we got curl route or out route alright, alright.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: You're ready, three two one.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: See we we got a little chemistry, you know what
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, because like those routes for me are great
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: because then you set me.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Up on a goal route that.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: They're so scared of him running by, like as soon
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: as he put his head down and run, then shut
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: it down.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Now you got to tackle.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Man, you feel me. I got an out route for you.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I feel like you could run any route, but you
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: put you on a single side or even like in
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a stack, and let's say JD put it out on
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: your inside a little bit, allow you.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: To make a do missing.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I've seen you make that play a lot of times
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: in your career. So that out route and you make
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: that that defender miss, then now that safety gotta tackle
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: you or you might be to the crib.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: So uh, that's why I put out route work.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: So now now let's actually draw a play for each other.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: All right that you think that we'll like? All right,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: So here we go, and there's too many planes.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're right by the we're right by the airport.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: All right. I got some fire for you now, So.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I'm i'm, I'm like that we called this a.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it a shake route, so you know
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: what's you know, I feel like Terry is really good
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: at this route right here because I drew this up
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: for tea because like, not too many people you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of people SKA running bound. So once you
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: get the feel of Terry running across the field, you
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: know how a lot of guys like the undercut and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: he just shut it down. Oh yeah, breaking back out
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: and like like with a quarterback we have, he put
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: that ball anywhere in the vicinity of tier, especially if
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: you're wide over, it's off to the races after that.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: For sure. I love that, bro.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I love that because I want I want dbs to
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: run with me, you know what I mean, I want
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: to dictate to them with uh when I'm instead of
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: trying to figure out what they're gonna do, I want
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: them to react to me. So a route like that
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: allows them to think they know and then you get
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: to the top of the route and then you got
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: all that space over there.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: So that's a that's a great man play for you.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: I got I put a little I put a little
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: seasoning on here, a little bit.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I got you starting off to the boundary with me
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: and then motioning over to the three by one side,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: and then I got you running the inside fade.
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: I didn't seen you connect on that thing since you
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: got here. And the reason why I like this play
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: for you and to.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Set you up with motion is all right, bet if
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: we come over here a little zone, we might hit
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Zach right here. But we also let's say they play
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: cover too right, that Z's hole down, that that flat defender,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: now this safety they ain't cover too. Gotta gotta try
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to run with you over here in in his zone.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: I still like that. But if it's man.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Strack up, feel me because of dB and Man is
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be worried about you in breaking out breaking you know.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: What I mean That he got to keep you in
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: front of with your yards at the catch. But if
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: he settle his feet at all, that ball going up
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: and it's a touchdown. So I like this play for
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: you a lot. I've seen it a lot in camp,
• 24:34
