- 0:35Speaker 1: How you feeling you good? You're good?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Feeling feeling good? Feeling good.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, whenever I look at whenever I look at
- 0:42Speaker 1: your intro, Bro, like, I love to see the status
- 0:46Speaker 1: pile up, Like you lead all defensive backs in total
- 0:50Speaker 1: tackles seven hundred and thirty seven of them things since
- 0:53Speaker 1: he came to the league seven years ago. Budget's averaging
- 0:56Speaker 1: you know, just whatever it is average hunting some tackles
- 0:58Speaker 1: a year. When ever, look at these stats, Bro, it's
- 1:01Speaker 1: not only oppressive to the con tenure you've had, the
- 1:04Speaker 1: type of career that you're producing, but you know, like,
- 1:07Speaker 1: how do you feel about knowing that you him when
- 1:10Speaker 1: it comes to tackling like surfire tacklers.
- 1:14Speaker 2: You know that's something I could do.
- 1:16Speaker 1: You know.
- 1:17Speaker 3: I just try to do my job and when the
- 1:19Speaker 3: ball gets to me, I'm trying to get it down.
- 1:22Speaker 2: So you know it is.
- 1:26Speaker 1: All right for sore. I mean, let's just go straight
- 1:29Speaker 1: to the game this. You know when you think about
- 1:31Speaker 1: what where were you do? You know during that pick six?
- 1:35Speaker 1: Like what was what was happening in the chaos when
- 1:37Speaker 1: when it got overturned? Like what where where was that happening?
- 1:41Speaker 2: Oh?
- 1:41Speaker 1: Man?
- 1:41Speaker 3: You know me, I was out there robbing on the
- 1:43Speaker 3: QB and uh, you know all I seen was the
- 1:46Speaker 3: ball up in the air and that guys got it
- 1:48Speaker 3: and you know, uh got pretty loud.
- 1:51Speaker 2: But then the whistles started blowing.
- 1:54Speaker 1: So hey, right, that momentum, bro, Like that momentum change
- 1:59Speaker 1: is palpable. It's real, like you like the rest of
- 2:02Speaker 1: me in the way I can't say that, but I
- 2:04Speaker 1: can't like the god.
- 2:07Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, they they're pretty strictless about that that
- 2:10Speaker 3: two minutes.
- 2:11Speaker 2: So once it hit two minutes, they blew it dead
- 2:15Speaker 2: man man.
- 2:16Speaker 1: That was we had. We had a similar situation in
- 2:18Speaker 1: our game, bro, Like, there was an interception that happened
- 2:20Speaker 1: from you know, our team to their defense to see
- 2:22Speaker 1: it and I'm like, bro, that ball hit the ground
- 2:24Speaker 1: for real, for real, But they'd already said it was
- 2:25Speaker 1: an interception, and they're not going to go against that call. Bro,
- 2:28Speaker 1: Like give us another shot. Look at that. It is
- 2:33Speaker 1: what it is.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Bro.
- 2:34Speaker 1: But anyways, Like, but you can feel that kind of
- 2:38Speaker 1: you know, the kind of momentum shift because that for you,
- 2:41Speaker 1: that was heading into the second half, Like.
- 2:43Speaker 3: That's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly. At the end of
- 2:50Speaker 3: the day, you know, everything happens for a reason. So
- 2:53Speaker 3: you know, we onto the next week, onto the you know,
- 2:56Speaker 3: Washington Commanders.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Right, I gotta gotta gotta flip that page. What do
- 3:03Speaker 1: you see from What do you see from them? I
- 3:05Speaker 1: mean Jaydon Daniels out there going now three three touchdowns,
- 3:11Speaker 1: two incompletions, young bull out there going stupid on the
- 3:16Speaker 1: ground in the air.
- 3:18Speaker 3: You know, just seeing him, you know, play so well,
- 3:21Speaker 3: this's early go to a test of the team they
- 3:23Speaker 3: have and you know the player he is, and you know
- 3:26Speaker 3: you got Cliff Kingsbury out there, you know, showing a
- 3:30Speaker 3: new offense. So it's definitely uh, you know, definitely special
- 3:35Speaker 3: for him.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Right, I mean, young bull. But I'm trying to tell
- 3:40Speaker 1: people it's not necessarily hard for a young rookie or
- 3:45Speaker 1: young quarterback to take the league by storm for a year.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, But once you get that, you know,
- 3:49Speaker 1: once you get beyond that first year, that second year
- 3:51Speaker 1: is when I get interested intrigued, like, you can take this,
- 3:55Speaker 1: you can take a league by storm, But that second year,
- 3:58Speaker 1: can you continue that? Now we have a game plan
- 4:00Speaker 1: for you. It's one thing when I don't have enough
- 4:02Speaker 1: film on you. It's another thing when like, this is
- 4:04Speaker 1: what he's good at, this is what he can do.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Now there's a game plan formulated.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Like you said, in the first year, not not really
- 4:10Speaker 3: A lot of guys have kind of seen it, but
- 4:12Speaker 3: you know, of course we're all students of the game
- 4:15Speaker 3: and we watch that film. So the more film that
- 4:18Speaker 3: you can have, of course, you know, the harder it
- 4:20Speaker 3: will be for them. So you know, he's a he's
- 4:24Speaker 3: a special player though, so you know, hopefully they do
- 4:27Speaker 3: what they do. But of course, you know we're playing
- 4:30Speaker 3: against them this week, so got to get that deal
- 4:32Speaker 3: and you got to get the crib too out and
- 4:34Speaker 3: easy your hometown.
- 4:35Speaker 2: You know, been out here for you know, doing on
- 4:39Speaker 2: my year eight. So you're eight the great and uh,
- 4:42Speaker 2: you know we we got to get one of those.
- 4:45Speaker 1: For sure, got to get one of those. Bro After
- 4:48Speaker 1: that dub, then like where do you think the Cardinals
- 4:50Speaker 1: stack up in your division? You know, the NFC West.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Then we'll talk about it, but like how do you
- 4:55Speaker 1: think how you think you know, y'all y'all stacking up? Now?
- 4:58Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll see West is a hard division. You know,
- 5:01Speaker 3: you got the forty nine or Seahawks. Rams, of course,
- 5:04Speaker 3: you know, we all kind of just beat up on
- 5:07Speaker 3: each other and of course the forty nine have a
- 5:09Speaker 3: great team for a while, and you know, we'll we'll
- 5:13Speaker 3: all see what happens.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So okay, still earlier this season. I'm not
- 5:18Speaker 1: gonna get nothing out of yet, Okay, I get it. Yeah,
- 5:22Speaker 1: I mean, you know, talking about that division, like literally
- 5:26Speaker 1: this past weekend Rams Niners, You assume Niners were the
- 5:30Speaker 1: favorite in the Rams come back with that miraculous come
- 5:32Speaker 1: back boats well for you at the Cardinals. You know,
- 5:37Speaker 1: like, like you said, the NFC West, y'all really do be
- 5:40Speaker 1: beating up on each other. They don't matter who the
- 5:42Speaker 1: favorite is, it's really a slub pest.
- 5:45Speaker 2: No, yeah, exactly.
- 5:46Speaker 3: You know all you got great players on you know,
- 5:49Speaker 3: each and every side of the ball. So anytime every
- 5:53Speaker 3: team in the division plays each other, you know, you
- 5:55Speaker 3: kind of know each other and you kind of know
- 5:58Speaker 3: you know the you know what type of guys are
- 6:02Speaker 3: trying to get this, and you know all the intricate
- 6:05Speaker 3: details about these team, and it's east each and every
- 6:09Speaker 3: time we play, it's always going to be a hard
- 6:11Speaker 3: puck match.
- 6:12Speaker 1: Well, look, I know for me, we got we got
- 6:16Speaker 1: the uh when Atlanta comes up on our schedule, we
- 6:19Speaker 1: got hate week coming up, Like there's there's gonna be
- 6:22Speaker 1: five days of screw them. The coach, the city, the
- 6:27Speaker 1: gym that that used to work for us. It's it's
- 6:31Speaker 1: everybody got to get it, bro Like everybody in the field.
- 6:34Speaker 1: The city feels that Cardinals in the like the NFC,
- 6:38Speaker 1: like the NFC West. Like I don't is there's there's
- 6:40Speaker 1: not like one team that you be like, man, we
- 6:42Speaker 1: hate them with all our guts. Right Like growing up
- 6:45Speaker 1: in Arizona, I never I never felt like, oh man,
- 6:47Speaker 1: we really hate the Rams or we really hate Seattle.
- 6:50Speaker 3: We were just like, man, we just want to win now, yeah,
- 6:53Speaker 3: I mean, of course we we want to win, but
- 6:55Speaker 3: we don't. We don't like them all. So you know
- 6:57Speaker 3: they're all right, playing twice twice a year. You don't
- 7:01Speaker 3: like any of it. So, you know, me being from Seattle,
- 7:05Speaker 3: of course, when I go back out there, I got
- 7:07Speaker 3: to show out.
- 7:08Speaker 2: You know, that's my home and that's where I grew
- 7:10Speaker 2: up in So.
- 7:11Speaker 3: You know, there's there's those little you know, little little
- 7:14Speaker 3: things that get you in the heated of the moment.
- 7:17Speaker 2: But yeah, we don't like none of those teams.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Yeah, it's easy when you just hate them.
- 7:22Speaker 2: All exactly exactly, see.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Dispersed hate, like there's no one singular focus, Like I
- 7:31Speaker 1: know when when Atlanta comes either my place, we go
- 7:34Speaker 1: into Atlanta, I know it's hostile territory. Then there's like
- 7:38Speaker 1: you know, Carolina and Tampa Bay and depending on the years,
- 7:41Speaker 1: there'll be it'll be a battle for sure, but there's
- 7:44Speaker 1: never one like, man, I really hate that team or
- 7:46Speaker 1: that dirty ass you know, like one player maybe, but
- 7:50Speaker 1: it's not the team you missing. You're missing that real
- 7:53Speaker 1: that real heat heart vein of like I hate this
- 7:55Speaker 1: one individual. Sometimes I hate to pull pull you through
- 7:57Speaker 1: a season sometimes.
- 8:02Speaker 3: Sometimes you know, each and every year I kind of
- 8:04Speaker 3: have that that have that feeling for you know, different
- 8:07Speaker 3: NFC West team.
- 8:09Speaker 1: So you know, Bro as as a leader on on
- 8:13Speaker 1: on the defense. Like I just want to know what
- 8:17Speaker 1: is it that you and Kyler have have for expectations
- 8:20Speaker 1: of your team? What is Kyler Murray? Of course, but
- 8:23Speaker 1: what is it with that head coach coming into a
- 8:25Speaker 1: second year? Like how comfortable are you? Where's the team, Matt,
- 8:28Speaker 1: and how do you see yourselves moving forward?
- 8:31Speaker 3: Yeah, of course there's there's high expectations, you know. Uh,
- 8:35Speaker 3: we like to always talk about keeping it one day
- 8:37Speaker 3: at a time, one week at a time. So you know,
- 8:40Speaker 3: right now we're on the Washington Commanders and we're gonna
- 8:43Speaker 3: we're gonna work hard to get that w and uh
- 8:46Speaker 3: then we're on to the next week. So of course
- 8:48Speaker 3: there's high standards, you know, and there's you know, of
- 8:53Speaker 3: course we're working each and every day, each and every
- 8:56Speaker 3: you know hour, really just trying to get better and uh, right,
- 9:00Speaker 3: you know, the game and stay consistent in this lead.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Of course, that's the name of the game. So you know,
- 9:06Speaker 2: we know.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Absolutely got gotta stay consistent, I mean and at the
- 9:12Speaker 1: same time, you got to go chase your division too,
- 9:14Speaker 1: like you know, to get to the playoffs, you really
- 9:16Speaker 1: got to fight for that one to two seedy and division.
- 9:18Speaker 1: And you got Seattle who's undefeated, and you got you know,
- 9:21Speaker 1: the Niners and the Rams who are defeatable, and of
- 9:24Speaker 1: course you know you with this win, you can put
- 9:27Speaker 1: yourself in the fray and you want to be in
- 9:28Speaker 1: contention at all times. So this just comes that much
- 9:31Speaker 1: more important. So you know, I feel like as a player,
- 9:34Speaker 1: you know the ebbs and flows of gaming as well
- 9:36Speaker 1: as the season. Now you have to stay consistent, you
- 9:39Speaker 1: have to stay confident in everything that you do, which
- 9:41Speaker 1: it's early enough in season that you can turn everything around.
- 9:44Speaker 1: What does your off day look like? Bro? Because for
- 9:46Speaker 1: for us, on on an off day, our off days Tuesday,
- 9:48Speaker 1: we go in as a D line and we break
- 9:50Speaker 1: down film and then you know we lift together or
- 9:53Speaker 1: whatever it is as a D line. Do do you
- 9:56Speaker 1: dbs do that? Do you as a defense breakdown film
- 9:58Speaker 1: or how does that work for you guys on your team?
- 10:01Speaker 3: Yeah, as dbs, we do it. We do it together.
- 10:04Speaker 3: Of course we have you know, meetings with the coaches
- 10:07Speaker 3: and staff. But you know, dvs will have some meetings
- 10:13Speaker 3: and then of course on that Friday Saturday, that day
- 10:16Speaker 3: that walked through where you know, we're not really doing anything,
- 10:19Speaker 3: we'll go in and watch some film and have some communication,
- 10:23Speaker 3: last minute communication on the details of you know, the
- 10:26Speaker 3: game planning weekend and week out, just to make sure
- 10:29Speaker 3: we you know, of.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Course, are all on them.
- 10:31Speaker 3: But you know, this game is also about trusting each
- 10:34Speaker 3: other to do, you know, our job, so that that's
- 10:37Speaker 3: most important.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Facts, bro, could you imagine seven years ago if they
- 10:42Speaker 1: were like, hey, here's an iPad and like you can
- 10:44Speaker 1: watch all the film you want, like on your own.
- 10:46Speaker 1: You used to have to come to the facility. So
- 10:47Speaker 1: like it was way easier to be like, yeah, we
- 10:49Speaker 1: watched film together because you had to. Now you know,
- 10:53Speaker 1: now everybody watches sort of film on their own. So
- 10:55Speaker 1: it's like yo, bo, like you got to come into
- 10:56Speaker 1: this building on Tuesday as a d line to come
- 10:59Speaker 1: wash this together. It's sometimes it's not even about the film.
- 11:01Speaker 1: It's about just like, all right, this is the game,
- 11:04Speaker 1: like whatever it is, it's but it's also about knowing
- 11:06Speaker 1: your teammate types.
- 11:08Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, I like that for sure, for sure, but.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we have our we have our little
- 11:15Speaker 3: film stuff that we watch each and every day that's
- 11:17Speaker 3: you know, scripted for us.
- 11:18Speaker 2: So we have our Monday to watch.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Then we got our Tuesday film of course, going into Wednesday,
- 11:24Speaker 3: first second down periods, you know, that's when we're watching
- 11:28Speaker 3: first second down on film and then kind of so
- 11:31Speaker 3: forth throughout the week. So yeah, we take it like
- 11:36Speaker 3: little step by step kind of how how you know,
- 11:38Speaker 3: by the end of.
- 11:39Speaker 2: The week, we got all this stuff down and.
- 11:43Speaker 3: First second down, third down, red zone, two minute, four minute,
- 11:46Speaker 3: you know the deal.
- 11:48Speaker 1: So yeah, fact everything everything dialed up right when it's
- 11:53Speaker 1: supposed to be. And Saturday it's like one real quick
- 11:56Speaker 1: brief and then all right, let's let's go with some
- 11:58Speaker 1: masks on Sunday.
- 12:00Speaker 2: And then and then forget all the defense game.
- 12:07Speaker 1: So tell me, uh, you know, I heard you said
- 12:09Speaker 1: this is your favorite defense to play under the new
- 12:11Speaker 1: uh you know, under the DC Nick rallis, why why
- 12:14Speaker 1: is that?
- 12:16Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, first, you know the players.
- 12:18Speaker 3: Of course, you know, they got a lot of great
- 12:20Speaker 3: players in the draft, and also you know, picked up
- 12:23Speaker 3: a lot of great players in free agency. So just
- 12:26Speaker 3: being an off season program and seeing the little details
- 12:29Speaker 3: that have changed is.
- 12:32Speaker 2: Definitely to my liking.
- 12:33Speaker 3: And you know, for me being a safety, a person
- 12:36Speaker 3: that kind of can play multiple positions, I love this
- 12:39Speaker 3: defense because it kind of puts me in those different
- 12:42Speaker 3: positions to where qbs or teams can't really just you know,
- 12:47Speaker 3: red down me the whole time.
- 12:49Speaker 2: They kind of don't really know where I'm going.
- 12:51Speaker 3: The type of tilts that we make pre snap and
- 12:54Speaker 3: then post snap, you know, complete it can be completely different.
- 12:57Speaker 2: So that's something I really like. And you know, of.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Course the high motor and the violence of the defense
- 13:02Speaker 3: and the players that we play, you know, you really
- 13:05Speaker 3: it really shows that, you know, I really want to
- 13:08Speaker 3: show that as a group on film beaching every week
- 13:11Speaker 3: that you know, when you when you play against Arizona Cardinals,
- 13:14Speaker 3: that defense is swarming to the ball. So that's what
- 13:16Speaker 3: we're trying to, you know, continue to get better on
- 13:20Speaker 3: each weekend and week out.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Yeah, and looks as a leader of your defense, as
- 13:25Speaker 1: a playmaker that you are. I know, I know your
- 13:27Speaker 1: coach probably comes to you when he when he's like, oh,
- 13:29Speaker 1: how do you how do you like this this blitz?
- 13:32Speaker 1: How do you like this package coming into this week?
- 13:35Speaker 1: You know, like, what is it, what does it mean?
- 13:37Speaker 1: I know he comes to you right like he has to.
- 13:39Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely, you know, it means the world,
- 13:42Speaker 3: you know, just to to understand you know, I'm of
- 13:45Speaker 3: course a big part of the team, but also at
- 13:48Speaker 3: the end of the day, it's all about winning.
- 13:50Speaker 2: You know.
- 13:50Speaker 3: We like to talk about leaving your ego out the
- 13:52Speaker 3: door and you know, let the coaching you know, come
- 13:56Speaker 3: to you and ask questions and no question is question.
- 14:00Speaker 3: So just to you know, be one hundred percent in
- 14:03Speaker 3: our work and our craft to be able to go
- 14:06Speaker 3: out on Sunday, you know, play to the best of
- 14:09Speaker 3: our abilities.
- 14:09Speaker 2: That's what it's all about.
- 14:12Speaker 1: Gotta do once of course, of course. Yeah, but when
- 14:19Speaker 1: you got that game plan that you trust and you're
- 14:21Speaker 1: like all right, cool, like I like I can believe
- 14:23Speaker 1: in it, man, makes it that much more free when
- 14:25Speaker 1: you go out Sunday, like all right, I know what
- 14:27Speaker 1: the game plan is. I'm fully locked in. Because there's
- 14:29Speaker 1: been game plans where you've also been like the opposite though,
- 14:31Speaker 1: you'd be like, hey, bro, I don't know if this
- 14:33Speaker 1: is gonna shape, and the DC is so confident like
- 14:37Speaker 1: this is it's gonna work. You get in the game
- 14:38Speaker 1: like it's working, but I'm still like I'm doing all
- 14:42Speaker 1: my checks and I'm like it's a little much right now.
- 14:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:45Speaker 1: Yeah, And you've also gone a game, bro, You've also
- 14:50Speaker 1: gone to games and been like, all right, this game plan, Bro',
- 14:52Speaker 1: I don't know about this. Like I've seen a lot
- 14:54Speaker 1: of things work. I don't think this is gonna work
- 14:56Speaker 1: in the game. But like I told you, this wasn't
- 14:57Speaker 1: gonna work.
- 14:59Speaker 2: You know, I keep that.
- 15:00Speaker 3: I keep that to myself, but you know, after the
- 15:02Speaker 3: game maybe in my head of course, you know, to
- 15:05Speaker 3: the fans, man, man.
- 15:12Speaker 1: That makes it that much more easy when everybody's body
- 15:14Speaker 1: and everybody on the same page, bro, Like, that's that
- 15:16Speaker 1: makes it fun for the defense. That allows you to
- 15:18Speaker 1: get like a levet man to the ball type football
- 15:20Speaker 1: and like from there then it just becomes a party
- 15:23Speaker 1: because each hit everybody's jumping in on. Then then it
- 15:26Speaker 1: really becomes a bird.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Gang tackle exactly.
- 15:29Speaker 3: You know, you know, everybody coming in onto the tackles.
- 15:33Speaker 3: We call those cap offs, you know, So the more
- 15:35Speaker 3: cap off you can get, you know that that's always
- 15:38Speaker 3: that's always a positive.
- 15:43Speaker 1: Everybody in that thing. Yeah, Okay, I like that one
- 15:49Speaker 1: cap off because pay more helmless to the ball. Somebody
- 15:54Speaker 1: cap gonna get peeled back one time off. All right,
- 16:00Speaker 1: too shay, too shape. I might have to keep that one. Look,
- 16:04Speaker 1: I know, I know, like it's it's probably gonna be
- 16:07Speaker 1: too early to talk about it, but like sort of
- 16:09Speaker 1: talk about it. You've been with the Cardinals going this year?
- 16:12Speaker 1: Eight what what you what you're playing for? Like how
- 16:17Speaker 1: long you're gonna be with the car and sixteen? Are
- 16:20Speaker 1: you all them? With the Cardinals?
- 16:22Speaker 3: Hey man, you know, I'll be a free agent after
- 16:25Speaker 3: this season, and you know.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Of course, you know I love the Cardinals. You know,
- 16:30Speaker 2: want to be a Cardinal.
- 16:32Speaker 3: I understand the business at the end of the day,
- 16:34Speaker 3: and you know, for me, I just want to continue
- 16:36Speaker 3: to you know, taking one week at a time, one
- 16:39Speaker 3: day at a time, and just play good football, stay consistent,
- 16:43Speaker 3: win games, and then at the end of the season,
- 16:46Speaker 3: let everything else control itself. So that's my big That's
- 16:49Speaker 3: been my whole mental throughout the whole you know time
- 16:52Speaker 3: that it's been going on, and it's.
- 16:54Speaker 2: Been going real good for me. I feel like I'm you.
- 16:56Speaker 3: Know, continuing to get better as a player, and uh,
- 17:00Speaker 3: you know, we're gonna continue to get better as a team,
- 17:04Speaker 3: and you know we're excited for this week.
- 17:07Speaker 1: No doubt or hey that that safety position is different, bro, Like,
- 17:12Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not even gonna talk about how
- 17:15Speaker 1: hard it is to be a surefire tackler, to be
- 17:17Speaker 1: a force to be reckoned with, because a defense, like
- 17:19Speaker 1: all you have as a defense or just a defender
- 17:22Speaker 1: is fear, Like you have to be able to make
- 17:24Speaker 1: these tackles. You have to make an offense fear. You
- 17:27Speaker 1: have to make the player you're about to go against
- 17:29Speaker 1: have some sort of doubt in his mind, Like, hey, bro,
- 17:32Speaker 1: he really gonna sting me if I if I could
- 17:34Speaker 1: try and tackle it, try and run him over, or
- 17:35Speaker 1: he really gonna like if I still put this stiff
- 17:37Speaker 1: arm out. He knows I'm trying to stiff arm, so
- 17:39Speaker 1: here gonna knock my hand down and tackle me. Bro Like,
- 17:41Speaker 1: from there, the safety position is crazy. I just think like,
- 17:45Speaker 1: especially with the current market for a safety, it's it's
- 17:49Speaker 1: not it's not giving the market value, bro, Like there's
- 17:52Speaker 1: there was, there was a pinnacle, and it seems like
- 17:54Speaker 1: it's on the decline, especially with you know, safety is
- 17:56Speaker 1: whatever it is, but is that is that. Do you
- 17:58Speaker 1: think it's because quarterbacks aren't throwing as many deep balls
- 18:03Speaker 1: as they used to, or do you think.
- 18:04Speaker 3: It's because you know, these young safeties days they've been
- 18:09Speaker 3: getting paid, they've been you know, they've been resetting the market.
- 18:11Speaker 3: So you know, of course there's not much as a corner,
- 18:15Speaker 3: which you know, I think that it should be. But
- 18:18Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you know, that's ow.
- 18:20Speaker 3: It's how the businesses work. You know, you've seen how
- 18:22Speaker 3: the running back market, what happened in that market. You know,
- 18:26Speaker 3: I think it's just you know, it's I.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Don't want to make a comment on it, but you
- 18:31Speaker 2: know who's afraid to see next year?
- 18:37Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:37Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I'm a versatil player. I could
- 18:39Speaker 3: play whatever whatever. I'm a DV you know, I'm not
- 18:43Speaker 3: just a safety. You know, I line up everywhere on
- 18:45Speaker 3: the field. If you watch the film, you know I'm
- 18:48Speaker 3: I'm doing a lot of things. So you know, I
- 18:50Speaker 3: don't really look at myself as just a safety. I
- 18:53Speaker 3: look at myself as a defensive back in this league.
- 18:56Speaker 2: You know, So.
- 18:59Speaker 3: Whenever that are opportunity comes to continue to put it
- 19:02Speaker 3: on the film, you know, that's that's my plan, and
- 19:04Speaker 3: that's what I'm gonna do.
- 19:06Speaker 1: So yeah, right, that market tells you, like the league
- 19:10Speaker 1: isn't valuing the safety position as like a premier position.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Why yeah, I mean, hey, I don't know, I don't know.
- 19:21Speaker 3: You know, that's that's a very good question. You know,
- 19:24Speaker 3: you got no answer for field shout out those guys.
- 19:29Speaker 1: You know, just set the safety market for sure.
- 19:32Speaker 3: The market a little bit and uh, you know, so
- 19:36Speaker 3: hopefully that continues to you know, of course go up.
- 19:39Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, all I can.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Do is control what I can control, and that's you know,
- 19:44Speaker 3: putting it out there each each and every day, each
- 19:47Speaker 3: and every week, and uh, you know, showing all my
- 19:49Speaker 3: skills and most importantly trying to win the game, right.
- 19:55Speaker 1: And surefire tackler should be bootle surefire you know you
- 19:59Speaker 1: know what happens way, he's gonna get to.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Hit some stuff.
- 20:05Speaker 3: Yeah, but when that balls in there, you know, I'm
- 20:07Speaker 3: trying to see that too. So hopefully I can get
- 20:09Speaker 3: some more opportunities at that.
- 20:12Speaker 1: And not get walked down ever again. If I ever see.
- 20:17Speaker 2: You're talking about four years ago? Was four years Yeah,

- 21:35Speaker 1: I was I was just about to say, but y'all
- 21:37Speaker 1: want that thing. So like you know what turnovers equal
- 21:39Speaker 1: opportunities for the offense. Office put points on the board
- 21:42Speaker 1: and you never looked back.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Try to try to get in the points on the board.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Try try, no doubt that's neither here nor there. Bro
- 21:51Speaker 1: As a safety. Who's who are safeties that you like
- 21:54Speaker 1: to watch? Now? If it's not yourself?

- 22:30Speaker 2: bit just to see what.
- 22:32Speaker 3: Type of things they doing out there in Atlanta. You know,
- 22:34Speaker 3: I got my old d V coach in college. He's
- 22:37Speaker 3: a d C over there now, So that's that's cool

- 22:50Speaker 1: Well for sure, bro, Who's who's in your who's your
- 22:54Speaker 1: mount rushmore of safeties all time, knowing you after after
- 22:58Speaker 1: you know, knowing you. I know we've gonna go for
- 23:00Speaker 1: some hard hitters. But the top four, you know what
- 23:02Speaker 1: I'm saying, mount.
- 23:05Speaker 3: You know you got every you got. You know you
- 23:10Speaker 3: got Bob Sanders, Yeah you got. Of course you got
- 23:16Speaker 3: Troy Polamalu. Hmm my force safety for safety. You know
- 23:28Speaker 3: that three is I like that three act. Let's keep
- 23:32Speaker 3: it at three.
- 23:33Speaker 1: Okay, top three. Look, I just figured I figured he
- 23:37Speaker 1: was going to slide in that Sean Taylor, you know
- 23:39Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like.
- 23:41Speaker 2: It was like John Taylor recipe Sean Taylor. You know,
- 23:44Speaker 2: I want YouTube videos on them all the time.
- 23:48Speaker 3: And you know that was a shareheaded number thirty six
- 23:50Speaker 3: back and then that was my first number. I was
- 23:53Speaker 3: a thirty six pick in the draft, so I really
- 23:55Speaker 3: use it for that. But you know, Sean Taylor was
- 23:58Speaker 3: a huge hitter out there. I seen that Pro Bowl
- 24:01Speaker 3: hit on the what was that?
- 24:02Speaker 1: Everybody?
- 24:04Speaker 2: Iconic?
- 24:06Speaker 3: Yeah, of course that iconic, And yeah, I mean you
- 24:10Speaker 3: could say that Sean Taylor.
- 24:11Speaker 2: I like that Sean Taylor.
- 24:13Speaker 1: Right, you know, just around out that that Mount Rushmore.
- 24:15Speaker 1: But you man, you brought up Bob Sanders. Bob Sanders
- 24:18Speaker 1: back when he was the Indianapolis coach, like they was writers.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it was coming in there full speed.
- 24:25Speaker 3: He was like five eight two hundreds, two hundred and
- 24:28Speaker 3: five pounds and just coming in there.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Just you know, big. Yeah. I like, yeah, I can
- 24:37Speaker 1: remember that era because there was the Dwight Freeney era,
- 24:39Speaker 1: then it became the Robert Mathis era. Like was some
- 24:42Speaker 1: solid defense.
- 24:44Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they had the.
- 24:45Speaker 1: They had the safety, they had the old the O
- 24:47Speaker 1: d RM film.
- 24:49Speaker 2: Like what was Brian Dawkins about.
- 24:55Speaker 1: I'm talking about at the at the at the Colts, Bro,
- 24:57Speaker 1: he had like these massive arms and then later but
- 25:01Speaker 1: like you, Bro, I was like, yo, the safety should
- 25:04Speaker 1: be built like this. As a kid. Either way, that's
- 25:06Speaker 1: you know, that's just about a whole different ways. But yeah, Bob,
- 25:13Speaker 1: Bob Senters to be the truth.
- 25:14Speaker 2: Bro.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Moron Landry was his name, you man, Bro, I think
- 25:20Speaker 1: he was l then.
- 25:22Speaker 2: Bob he got a Defensive Player of the Year, right.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Oh man, I don't look I don't recall, you know,
- 25:29Speaker 1: as a defensive lineman. I'm not gonna say I'm yeah
- 25:34Speaker 1: yeah yeah he he definitely did two thousand and seven DP.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah.
- 25:40Speaker 3: You know that's to get that because you know the
- 25:43Speaker 3: past Russians always getting.
- 25:45Speaker 2: That, the past.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Premier physician.
- 25:49Speaker 2: You know, yeah, you don't.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Man, It's it's fun, like it's fun with knowing that
- 25:54Speaker 1: you got like a ball hawk or it was one
- 25:57Speaker 1: of the cold of safeties that are going to sure
- 25:58Speaker 1: fire knock somebody down over the middle when you rush
- 26:01Speaker 1: in the pass, because it makes that quarterback really like,
- 26:03Speaker 1: do I want to throw this middle ball?
- 26:05Speaker 2: Do I?
- 26:06Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do that?
- 26:08Speaker 2: Yeah, a big time, big time.
- 26:10Speaker 3: It is always good when there's a nice pass rush.
- 26:14Speaker 3: You know that ball got to come out fast so
- 26:16Speaker 3: that one break are always the best when you've got
- 26:19Speaker 3: to only break once as a deep.
- 26:21Speaker 1: Yeah right, no hum and you get it. You have
- 26:23Speaker 1: jumped around like you used to tell you that you
- 26:25Speaker 1: talked about earlier, But bro, what would you say is
- 26:28Speaker 1: your uh your best part of your game? You know
- 26:30Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You talked about your motor, you know,
- 26:33Speaker 1: you coming down laying the hat you know, like what's
- 26:36Speaker 1: what what's the best part of your.
- 26:39Speaker 2: For me?
- 26:40Speaker 3: You know, I kind of just think of myself as
- 26:42Speaker 3: like a smart player and all around versatile player, like
- 26:46Speaker 3: you know that I really believe that I can play,
- 26:50Speaker 3: you know, a lot of positions.
- 26:51Speaker 2: I can blitz when you need me to blitz.
- 26:53Speaker 3: I can cover deep, cover receiver when you need me
- 26:56Speaker 3: to cover receiver, cover tight end.
- 26:59Speaker 2: You know.
- 26:59Speaker 3: I can play in all types of zones, whether that's
- 27:02Speaker 3: you know, hook zones, you know hook seen and covered two,
- 27:06Speaker 3: middle runner, just all the different type of positions of
- 27:10Speaker 3: course on defense and you know concepts.
- 27:13Speaker 2: I feel like I can do a lot of them.
- 27:16Speaker 3: So just plugging me in anywhere, not letting the QB
- 27:19Speaker 3: understand where exactly I am at all times. I definitely
- 27:23Speaker 3: think I do really good at that.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Mm hmm. Give me the ox, mister, plug and play, okay,
- 27:30Speaker 1: yeah yeah, hell.
- 27:32Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

- 31:04Speaker 1: just thinking the Saints lose to the Philadelphia Eagles. I
- 31:08Speaker 1: guess you can't win everyone, but it feels like every
- 31:10Speaker 1: time we're gonna take the field, we're gonna try and win.
- 31:14Speaker 1: I think that, you know, two and oh, we've been
- 31:18Speaker 1: two and oh before, and I wanted that three and oh.
- 31:21Speaker 1: I wanted that three and oh start. I think coach
- 31:24Speaker 1: throughout that coach Dennis Allen throughout that stat that we
- 31:27Speaker 1: hadn't been three and oh since twenty thirteen. It's been
- 31:30Speaker 1: a while, but that two and oh. Now we're two
- 31:33Speaker 1: and one, and you feel like going into that fourth quarter,
- 31:38Speaker 1: it's I don't even know what the score is. We're
- 31:41Speaker 1: up three zero, maybe whatever that whatever the score is,
- 31:45Speaker 1: or there's a chance, you know, there's a chance that
- 31:48Speaker 1: they don't score again, you win, or maybe maybe all
- 31:52Speaker 1: they had scored was three points by then, And I
- 31:54Speaker 1: was like, Yo, we're gonna win this game. It is
- 31:57Speaker 1: what it is. We end up losing, and it changes
- 32:02Speaker 1: that vibe that you're like, man, you know, it changes
- 32:05Speaker 1: that that vibe of knowing that you're gonna win because
- 32:08Speaker 1: now you know you have to prove that you can
- 32:10Speaker 1: win each and every game. So next week's gonna be
- 32:12Speaker 1: that much more imperative that we get back in the
- 32:14Speaker 1: win column. You know, you look forward to that club, Dove,
- 32:18Speaker 1: that's a club, little Saint. You go into locker room.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Music is playing, boys, boys excited you go. You go
- 32:24Speaker 1: into every week trying to earn the right to enjoy
- 32:28Speaker 1: your teammates smiles, to enjoy you know, another win for
- 32:32Speaker 1: not only team, the city, you and you. You love
- 32:34Speaker 1: being a part of the NFL team. You love being
- 32:36Speaker 1: a part of the Saints because we're so integrated in
- 32:39Speaker 1: the city, so each win feels that much better. So
- 32:43Speaker 1: we got to get back to that win column. You know,
- 32:46Speaker 1: after the game, spoils go to the victor. You know,
- 32:49Speaker 1: CJ comes out and says, you know, there the Saints
- 32:52Speaker 1: are pretenders, which he played for US with Sean Payton
- 32:56Speaker 1: was here. He didn't get to see the uh, the
- 32:58Speaker 1: Dennis Allen takeover and he you know, but Chauancey is
- 33:04Speaker 1: also a really good safety. So they won and he's
- 33:08Speaker 1: able to say the type of things he said. It's
- 33:10Speaker 1: just a part of the game. You know, how did
- 33:12Speaker 1: he lost? He couldn't have said it. Uh, and and
- 33:14Speaker 1: all that he said was, you know, he said some
- 33:16Speaker 1: crazy statements about remember they got Derek Carr, their pretenders,
- 33:21Speaker 1: they're not contenders, et cetera, et cetera. Like in all
- 33:25Speaker 1: due respect, like relax, you know, we have to prove
- 33:32Speaker 1: that we're not pretenders. We have to prove that we're contenders.
- 33:35Speaker 1: And that goes for each and every team in the NFL.
- 33:37Speaker 1: Every week there's a chance you can win, lose, and
- 33:40Speaker 1: hopefully not draw.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Uh.
- 33:42Speaker 1: There has to be a winner, and you're gonna continue
- 33:44Speaker 1: fighting for that.
- 33:46Speaker 3: Uh.
- 33:47Speaker 1: Chauncey is the troll of the league, of the league
- 33:48Speaker 1: for the reason like Chauncey gonna come out under meet
- 33:51Speaker 1: that bridge now and serve whatever hot take he got
- 33:53Speaker 1: on his mind. And he's going to try and rile
- 33:55Speaker 1: you up. That's what who Chauncey is uh as a
- 33:58Speaker 1: as a player.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Uh.
- 33:59Speaker 1: And that's make him lovable as a teammate and you
- 34:02Speaker 1: hate him as an enemy, but he wasn't enemy on Sunday,
- 34:06Speaker 1: So you know that's rightfully. So I think about, you know,
- 34:10Speaker 1: towards the end of that game, the ebbs and flows
- 34:13Speaker 1: going back and forth offensive the field, defense on the field,
- 34:16Speaker 1: my dog Carl Granderson had you know, one and a
- 34:18Speaker 1: half sacks that Brian Maze had a two sack night.
- 34:23Speaker 1: Delonte Taylor had added another sack to his total.
- 34:25Speaker 2: Uh.
- 34:26Speaker 1: As a DV he might be like probably a top
- 34:29Speaker 1: five leading the league for sacks. It was it three
- 34:31Speaker 1: and a half. Gotta be top five in three games.
- 34:35Speaker 1: He's going, Yeah, he's going federal. Uh. Then you think
- 34:39Speaker 1: about you know, Jalen Jalen Carter and Tyron Matthews out
- 34:42Speaker 1: there chirping at each other, and that's just part of
- 34:44Speaker 1: the game. Energy, running hot, temp rubbing, running hot. It
- 34:48Speaker 1: is what it is. When you see a D linean
- 34:50Speaker 1: going after dB, that's that's not even fair, for real,
- 34:53Speaker 1: for real, that fight's not ever gonna happen. Nobody cares
- 34:56Speaker 1: about that. And again in in the middle of the game,
- 34:58Speaker 1: you're gonna talk your your most know he's towards end
- 35:00Speaker 1: the game when when emotions is the highest. So it's
- 35:03Speaker 1: just football, you know, Like when I say it's just football,
- 35:06Speaker 1: it's just that regular banter that you're gonna catch. And
- 35:08Speaker 1: it just so happened to get intense football players and
- 35:11Speaker 1: are competitive beings to begin with. Athletes are competitive beings
- 35:15Speaker 1: for the most part, and so when you come through it,
- 35:19Speaker 1: there's gonna be there's gonna be a lot of noise
- 35:20Speaker 1: to be said. So you just gotta you gotta continue
- 35:23Speaker 1: focus on what you gotta focus on. So that was
- 35:26Speaker 1: that was just a random riff I saw. Everybody was like, well,
- 35:28Speaker 1: what do they say? They just they just jawjacking. At
- 35:31Speaker 1: that point, you know, it got animated, So it is
- 35:37Speaker 1: what it is. Anyways, you know, you think about even
- 35:41Speaker 1: in that game, you know the last the last part
- 35:44Speaker 1: of the final push in that game, Uh, DeVante Smith
- 35:48Speaker 1: went down and you hate to see a player ever
- 35:51Speaker 1: go down and not be able to pop right back up.
- 35:53Speaker 1: He went down whatever was. I don't even know what
- 35:56Speaker 1: he went down went down for until you saw the replay.
- 35:59Speaker 1: You know, he getting tackled by two or three guys
- 36:01Speaker 1: and he's trying to fight for every yard and my
- 36:04Speaker 1: my young nose tackle comes out the stack, adds in
- 36:07Speaker 1: on the ads in on the tackle. You know, a
- 36:10Speaker 1: gang tackle is just a routine tackle. There was no
- 36:13Speaker 1: ill intent other than let's get him down. He goes
- 36:15Speaker 1: down and doesn't get back up, and it's it's tough,
- 36:19Speaker 1: and then you see this fireback. You know, my young
- 36:21Speaker 1: bull comes in on off days like bro fans are
- 36:24Speaker 1: going crazy. I'm like like, hey, that's a running mill tackle.
- 36:27Speaker 1: You play snap to whistle, you go until you hear
- 36:29Speaker 1: the whistle. That's just is what it is. And I'm
- 36:31Speaker 1: never going to say, you know anything other than that.
- 36:35Speaker 1: It's not like he was on sidelines. He was in
- 36:36Speaker 1: the middle of field. That's a routine tackle. If it
- 36:40Speaker 1: gets blown earlier before he falls, then it's a different story.
- 36:44Speaker 1: But you're gonna play snap to whistle each and every time.
- 36:46Speaker 1: I think we're in the opportune time of going into
- 36:50Speaker 1: UH this week playing Atlanta, that we have to take
- 36:52Speaker 1: advantage of each and every opportunity. Atlanta's clearly beatable. Now
- 36:57Speaker 1: we have shown that we can be beat so we've
- 36:59Speaker 1: got to come out with our best because we're going
- 37:01Speaker 1: into a hostile environment going into Atlanta. We got to
- 37:04Speaker 1: get this win. And it's Atlanta Hate Week and for
- 37:06Speaker 1: everything about it, it's hate week. So get the dog.
- 37:11Speaker 1: We'll continue having fun. If not, we'll have to talk
- 37:14Speaker 1: about this later. Till then, I appreciate you'all tapping in.
