0:00
Hi folks, this is Rick Doc. Walker the DOC this.
0:03
Is John Kime and you're listening to the mess hall with
0:05
rally captain and tailgate 10. What's going on?
0:10
Rally? Welcome back from the West
0:11
Coast, man. Oh my goodness, boy, that was a
0:14
long flight. But it, you know, when you take
0:17
a dub, it don't matter how long that flight's going to be
0:20
because it makes it all that much better.
0:22
But hey, it's good to be back in the DMV, I'll tell you that.
0:26
I hear you man. I'm I'm definitely jealous
0:28
seeing everyone's pictures. I felt like 2/3 of the DND were
0:31
out there with you man. I'm just hearing it on the
0:34
radio, hearing the Mitch talk about it.
0:36
There were a bunch of people that ended up texting and
0:39
reaching out saying where are you?
0:40
We're all out here. It just it looked like you guys
0:43
took that place over. Oh bro, we really did and I
0:47
looked around the stands and and I just saw just the burgundy and
0:51
gold massive in full effect and and I was great to to see it and
0:57
just happy to get the dub man. Yeah, we talked about it on the
1:01
last spot, right? I just, I don't feel that the
1:03
Chargers really have a fan base that takes advantage of that
1:06
game. I I know a lot of people are
1:07
more Lams fans out there. And I also feel a lot of people
1:10
who don't really care about football in LA, right?
1:13
They, you know, Lakers fans and labor fans and it just kind of
1:18
shows because they don't really have the home field advantage.
1:20
They can take it or leave it. Yeah, they they try to.
1:22
But Nah, once they left San Diego, I mean it, it sounds good
1:27
to have a big, beautiful stadium in LA.
1:31
But their roots, let's face it, are San Diego, man.
1:34
And so a lot of people are still boycotting the Chargers because
1:39
of what happened in San Diego. That's crazy.
1:42
I mean, I I also don't blame them, right?
1:44
If we ever lost our team and we had to move and transfer
1:47
someplace else, I'm not sure what the hell I'd do right.
1:50
It's been lucky that they've been here our entire life.
1:53
So. Maybe go to Baltimore, maybe.
1:55
I mean, that's I, I can't even imagine that.
1:58
So it made my skin. It's saying that.
1:59
Oh, OK. No way.
2:01
There's no way in the world I would ever do that.
2:02
And I I can't stand that town. But that's that's for another
2:05
product for another day. So but you got to tell me, man,
2:07
the rally, how'd it go? The the turn out looked amazing.
2:10
B was talking about it on the show today.
2:13
It was incredible. Big Toms was and just it was
2:16
like wall to wall. And they still didn't have
2:18
enough room to keep all of us, you know, But hey, that's how it
2:23
is. Our fan base, we love to travel,
2:27
especially when we're doing well.
2:28
You know, even when we weren't doing well, our fan base still
2:31
travel. But now it's just an
2:33
overabundance of fans that are just always looking for
2:38
something to do. And here's the thing, people
2:41
still don't know about us. So we're trying to get the word
2:45
out and we're trying to do better so that people can know
2:51
where to show up. Because I got to tell you,
2:54
Dallas, we're going to have a packed house.
2:56
Freaking Kansas City, we're really going to have a packed
2:59
house. And matter of fact, this Sunday,
3:03
I, I, I, I tease everyone about the tailgate or not tailgate,
3:07
but the rally that we're going to do basically for the first
3:11
time for a home game. So that tailgate is going to go
3:16
down this Sunday at Hyde Social at Clarendon.
3:20
You know, the doors will, the doors will open up at 11 and
3:24
they will, the actual official rally starts at 4.
3:27
But hey, you know, everybody always wants to go to a bar and
3:30
watch games. They've got plenty of TV's.
3:32
The food is great. You start there at 11 and just
3:36
stay into the rally or if you just want to come to the rally,
3:39
be there at be there at 4. But I'd say be there a little
3:41
bit early because obviously the doors open at 11:00 and it's
3:44
going to be a jam packed place. Man, me and Santana monster
3:48
here. Me and Santana, we're going to
3:49
me and Tan. Santana Monster.
3:50
We're going to rock it out, bro. Yeah, I saw Tanner talk about
3:53
it, put it on his socials, right, obviously.
3:55
So you put that out there as well.
3:56
So that's damn. So that's at 4:00 in Clarendon.
4:01
So for those wondering, there is metro lines that take you right
4:04
there to hide social. So if you don't want to drive,
4:07
you can definitely metro out there.
4:08
There are a ton of parking garages.
4:09
I used to hang out in Clarendon back in the day when I was a
4:12
younger tailgate. So I'm helping one of my
4:14
stomping grounds. So that's going to be a fun
4:15
time. Oh yeah, man, this right here
4:20
will almost be bigger than a road rally because everyone
4:23
always asks, well, how come you guys don't do rallies for home
4:27
games? And we just never have.
4:29
And so the time has come because we play on Monday night and also
4:34
it's a holiday on Monday, so you don't have to go to work.
4:37
And, and, and I hate to say it this way, but a lot of people
4:40
are affected by the government shutdown anyway.
4:42
So come on and join us. Yeah, no, I'm, I definitely want
4:48
to see if I can make it out there.
4:49
I'm, I'm texted you about it once.
4:50
You know, you sent me the flyer. I've got to be getting ready for
4:54
the Monday game. So we'll have to try and plan,
4:56
figure that out. But for those of you that don't
4:58
have anything to do, I mean, shoot, you have to hide social
5:00
early, watch some of the Sunday earlier games, hopefully watch
5:03
the Eagles and the Cowboys and the Giants lose and then stick
5:07
around for Tana and you and everyone else out there.
5:10
So it'll be fun. Oh yeah.
5:11
Oh yeah, but getting back to LA, let me tell you, LA is just a
5:16
vibe in itself. Even though they may not have a
5:18
good following for for the football Chargers, the LA vibe
5:22
is always off the chain. And man, the food is good, the
5:27
people are nice. It's just a laid back vibe.
5:29
And once again, we came home with the dab baby.
5:33
The dab. Did you get that tomahawk?
5:38
You know what I did not I, I did not, but that that's OK because
5:43
I will. But I, I had too much stuff to
5:45
take care of. A lot of people were freaking
5:48
sending me payments for their trips and I was trying to out.
5:51
I wanted to try to celebrate as much as I could, but I couldn't.
5:53
I had I had paperwork to get done.
5:55
And right now, the life of the captain, I'm not getting any
5:58
sleep. I can imagine that.
6:02
I can imagine. So did you at least get to go to
6:03
Roscoe's? I did go to Roscoe's and I took
6:06
a picture. I didn't send it to you, but
6:09
dude, once again, it was a Bang Bang, bang, Bang Bang.
6:12
So but I will be posting the pictures so that you can see it.
6:16
But and and I got a That waffle was so good.
6:20
Nice man. I know John Con made it out
6:21
there and he posted it about it so I was wondering if you're out
6:23
there when John was, but guess who did a dinner with all the
6:28
wide receivers since the team got out there early for the
6:31
week? Who's that?
6:33
Debo took everybody out to dinner, all the wide receivers
6:36
on his tab. Well, I got a story about Debo.
6:40
So yeah, here's the deal. I love you, Debo.
6:44
I love you Debo. It just so happens that the
6:47
team, we stayed at the same hotel as a team.
6:50
And so I was getting out of my Uber and I saw him waiting for
6:57
an Uber and I walked up to him and I said, hey, Debo, I said,
7:03
hey man, do you mind if I get a picture?
7:05
And he was like, Nah, cap, I ain't, I ain't taking no
7:07
pictures. I was like, what?
7:11
Yeah, I was like, what? But I said, OK.
7:13
I said, I said, right. I said, OK, you know, it is what
7:16
it is. And, and and I didn't didn't
7:19
bother anybody else, but I just figured that you're standing up
7:23
waiting for your Uber. You're not doing anything.
7:26
Just snap a pic, bro. I mean, I'm not going to say
7:28
anything bad about you, but he's and he says not captain, so he
7:32
knows. Who I am, obviously, yeah.
7:35
Yeah. So hey, man, it is what it is.
7:38
And so it is. Here we are.
7:42
Are you sure you guys went on Rodeo Dr. and he was just trying
7:44
to avoid the paparazzi? We were at the hotel, bro.
7:48
We, we, we came back. Matter of fact, we came back
7:50
from the rally. We came back from the rally and
7:54
I, as I said, I was getting out of my Uber from the rally and I
7:57
just happened to see him standing outside.
7:59
And so yeah, but but I saw this. Is right.
8:02
Shoot. Go, go.
8:03
Ahead. Yeah, so funny thing is, he says
8:07
to her, I just told a guy no. And she says, oh, you mean my
8:11
husband. And they wind up taking a
8:14
picture. So he took it with her, not you.
8:20
That's funny, man. That's kind of dirty too.
8:22
But I actually saw that Missus Bradley took well with JD when
8:26
she was out there going to her yoga class.
8:28
Yeah, man, surprisingly enough, she she sure did.
8:32
I forgot what I was doing. I I was doing something.
8:34
Maybe I was, I think I was back in the room doing paperwork.
8:37
And so she goes, hey, I'm going to bug out to my Pilates class.
8:39
No, I was on the stadium tour. That's what I was doing.
8:41
I was on the stadium tour. So she said.
8:43
So she's going to bug out and go to her Pilates class.
8:45
And sure enough, she's been dying to get a picture with JD
8:48
and she finally got 1, so good for her.
8:52
Nice man. Nice.
8:54
So how was that stadium tour? Did you get to see Gronk again?
8:56
Or anyone else? Out there didn't get to see
8:58
Gronk, but it was it was a great tour and the people that were
9:01
there, they enjoyed it. And one thing that I didn't
9:03
know, here's a little tidbit for everybody who who doesn't know.
9:06
So when Mr. Krocke wanted to build that stadium, they told
9:10
him no, because it's on the flight line of LAX.
9:15
And so, but he wanted to build a state, a tall stadium, and they
9:18
said, no, it's on the fight line LAX.
9:20
So he got his architecture buddies together and said, you
9:23
know what, how can we get this taken care of?
9:25
They said, all right, we can't build up.
9:27
We're going to go underground. The stadium is 100 feet
9:30
underground, bro. And it, it, it's, it's awesome.
9:34
It really is. And they they said that in LA,
9:37
obviously because of all the earthquakes, they built the
9:39
stadium on this shock absorber system to where it's literally
9:43
the safest place in LA if an earthquake takes place.
9:47
Nice. I mean, I just it's one of the
9:49
spots I want to go to. I was really bummed didn't get a
9:51
chance to make it out to that trip because that that roof,
9:53
that translucent roof. I'm hoping that's something they
9:56
do here, right? Oh, yeah, they have to.
9:59
They have to. And and actually it's an open
10:03
Dome, if that makes sense. There's not even a Dome.
10:05
It's an open stadium. People think that it's it's
10:07
covered all 360. No, it has openings that are
10:13
permanent. You can see that TV feed that
10:15
they were showing and like it's actually open.
10:17
So I'm thinking there's no way that's going to work in DC
10:19
because we get rain, wind, snow, all that stuff coming through.
10:23
So ours is definitely going to be closed.
10:24
But if we can keep that roof going like they got out there
10:27
because, I mean, you know, Josh was out there and they showed
10:30
magic and Josh sitting together in a suite hanging out and
10:32
taking it all in. So best believe they were taking
10:35
notes. Yeah, yeah.
10:36
And, and, and so I'm on the sidelines and Mr. Rails, Mark
10:43
EIN and the president, Mark Klaus came up to me and said
10:50
great job on the rallies. And we don't know why the ball
10:56
was dropped, but the fact is keep doing what you're doing.
11:00
And I got to tell you, man, that made me feel really good.
11:05
The fact that they acknowledged and and they understood they
11:08
did. They just didn't understand how
11:10
the ball got dropped. But the fact is because I kept
11:13
talking to them about it and obviously the responses that you
11:16
guys, I'm not, I'm not going to say me, you guys pressed upon
11:20
that. Hey, look, they, they
11:22
understood. And actually Mr. Rails said that
11:25
he may try to come to the rally in Kansas City.
11:29
So I'm looking for us. I know I'll at least be at that
11:33
one since I'm going to be on that trip with you.
11:34
So I'm looking forward to it and you know, whatever help you
11:37
need, obviously I got your back out there.
11:39
Appreciate it. You get a chance to tailgate.
11:42
When you were out there, you saw that Ed McCaffrey reached out to
11:44
both of us, trying to find a spot to go to.
11:47
Oh, so the guy Andrew. Chef Andrew.
11:52
I can't think of his name, but Andrew is she's a chef in LA.
11:56
He has a nice tailgate and he came to the rally and told
12:00
everybody to come to this tailgate.
12:02
And let me tell you, he had I took some pictures of this
12:04
brisket in these ribs. Like I said, I just.
12:06
Had to remember. I haven't had time to do
12:08
anything, bro. This is the first time I've I've
12:11
had to breathe just for a second for you and our listeners.
12:14
So I'm going to send these pictures to you, probably be
12:17
doing what you're doing, but I'm going to send these pictures to
12:20
you. And oh man, the bark on this
12:22
brisket was so. Oh my gosh bro.
12:26
That sounds good. I definitely shoot him over to
12:28
me. If you guys are listening to
12:29
that shame on you. Catch us on YouTube.
12:31
You'll see the pictures of rally and the tailgate and everything
12:34
else out there here going on. So yeah, because Ed McCaffrey
12:38
hit both of us up and for some reason everyone saw that thing.
12:41
It was like 50,000 people. And they're all asking like what
12:43
the tailgate is. And so the junkies were talking
12:45
about this morning and then they actually mentioned you and EB
12:50
was laughing, joking because they said, oh man, they showed
12:52
him on TV like a million times, you know, right there in the end
12:55
zone and you can see that big W and everything else.
12:58
So I mean, how was it in so far? I know it's not your first time
13:01
there, but like, what were you thinking when you're hanging out
13:04
in the stands and just kind of the vibe and everything going
13:07
like before the game even started?
13:09
Before the game even started. So normally when you the bus
13:14
park right and we got the bus and a lot of times when you get
13:18
off the bus in enemy territory, you start hearing the Boo birds
13:22
or you started getting profanity or whatever have you.
13:25
Nah, man, Chargers fans very accommodating.
13:30
I, I didn't have any problem. No one said anything bad.
13:33
There was no you suck you, blah, blah, blah.
13:35
Nothing, man. It was a maybe it's the
13:38
California vibe, you know, no issues whatsoever.
13:41
And we walked through the gauntlet because where the bus
13:44
park was at the end of the pink parking lot, if you will, pink
13:48
lot, and we had to walk all the way to the beginning of the pink
13:53
lot is where they were tailgating.
13:55
But man, it didn't matter because they were offering us
13:58
drinks, food. I mean, hey bro, thank God that
14:02
I'm an adult rally and not a child rally because that's the
14:08
drinks were popping bro. And the food was good.
14:11
Yeah, it sounds like an awesome time, man.
14:13
So pregame, you could see Burgundy and Gold in the stands,
14:16
right? So when the game starts right
14:20
and Mikey just jumps off sides and they go for that touchdown
14:26
instead of that fuel they should have had, like, what were you
14:28
thinking? Honestly, bro, I, I got down on
14:33
us. I was like, here we go again.
14:35
I'm not even going to I'm not even going to lie to you.
14:37
And anybody who says that they are still up and saying we can
14:41
deal with. No, you're lying.
14:43
You're lying. Everybody was like, oh man, God
14:46
Dang it, not not this nonsense. But then they woke up a sleeping
14:52
giant and we took over the game. But prior to that, that first
14:57
quarter, I, I just like, I can't believe this, not not this
15:01
again. Come on, we we can do better.
15:04
We know we're better, you know what I mean?
15:05
It was just one of those things and and all of a sudden the ship
15:08
turned and we made it. I'm.
15:12
Not going to lie that I mean, you and I both picked us to lose
15:14
this past week, right? So we're down 10.
15:16
Nothing. I'm thinking it sucks, it sucks
15:20
to be right, it sucks to be in a position again, but this is
15:22
actually DQ talking about how he wasn't really ever worried.
15:25
I'd like to watch it. I wish I knew because you know,
15:29
going into it, when I looked up and I said 10, nothing, I said
15:32
shit. But it felt different.
15:35
Our energy, our speed, our although it was down, I didn't
15:39
feel the same. I don't know how to explain that
15:41
exactly, but you just looked at the numbers and the score might
15:44
say that. He had a nice scramble on the
15:45
first third down pressure that we had.
15:48
They go create it, but Mike got a foul on the field goal.
15:52
I thought, all right, if we leave them to three there.
15:54
So we dug ourselves a hole with some self-inflicted wounds.
15:57
We had another foul on a kickoff return.
15:59
So those are the things I wanted to get corrected and I spoke to
16:02
the team about at halftime. But I like the energy, Nikki,
16:06
that they sustained. You know, whether we were down,
16:09
whether we're ahead, we just didn't go too far off of that.
16:15
Let me say this, Ted. Let me say, let me say this one
16:18
of the biggest things that I felt and what I saw from the
16:22
defense this go around versus Alaska around, I saw so many
16:26
substitutions. The guys had fresh legs.
16:29
And so when it was 10 or nothing, I was saying to myself,
16:32
we can't keep this defense on the field like this because it
16:36
was, it was they started to have the, the time of possession.
16:40
They, they really did. And I was like, we can't keep
16:42
this defense on the field. But I saw guys rotating in and
16:45
out and I saw fresh legs. And and that's, that tells me
16:48
that they listen to what we were saying because the Atlanta game,
16:51
it seemed like you only had a certain amount of guys playing
16:54
everything. Well, this time I saw it was
16:56
like equal amount of stamps for guys so that no one could be
17:01
dead on her feet, if you will. The fresh legs prevailed and it
17:05
showed. Time of possession definitely
17:07
was in their favor. I mean, it was usually 2 to one
17:10
on their sides. Looking at the snaps, I think,
17:13
let me double check here. Juan Revo and Wagner played
17:19
100%. Other than that, you had some
17:22
other guys come in that really didn't play before where you had
17:25
a, let's see here, Jordan McGee actually had a decent amount of
17:29
snaps. Percy Butler finally came back.
17:30
He didn't play that many snaps, but you had other guys
17:32
contributing, like Eddie Goldman was then there doing his thing,
17:36
Jacob Martin. So we had some more guys coming
17:38
in. Like you said, just go back and
17:40
look at the PFF grades. The only play that they had that
17:44
really killed us that was a back breaker was the Herbert
17:47
scramble. I think it was third and two.
17:49
We blessed Bobby up in middle. Bobby didn't keep contained and
17:53
next thing you know, Herbert just runs for 41 yards.
17:56
But that's the. Only play that really broke our
17:59
back. Other than that, it was just
18:01
it's out and death by like 1,000,000 paper cuts, if that
18:04
makes any sense, right. And the fact that we were able
18:08
to go in the halftime time time, you had to have faith that we
18:13
were coming, right. I just I can't believe that caps
18:16
to Luke mean when that thing was in the air.
18:19
What were you thinking? I said, who is he throwing it
18:21
to? And I said, oh, that's Luke.
18:23
And then when he came down to with it, I was like, OK,
18:29
everybody knew that the kid had some skills, but this just put
18:33
him at the top of the charts. I'm not saying better than
18:37
Terry, but let's face it, when you don't have Terry, you're
18:40
better than Terry. You follow what I'm saying.
18:43
You go by who's on the field and what you got.
18:46
And that right there was a huge game changer from from one side
18:50
of the field to the other. And that was my end zone.
18:53
And so I was just just elated, man.
18:56
And, and it just goes to show you that we always have these
19:01
NJD 5. We trust hope.
19:03
You know, I got 5 on it. He put that ball where only Luke
19:07
could get it because it, it was great coverage.
19:10
And I, I wasn't sure if he was going to catch it or not.
19:13
I'm going to be honest with you because I'm seeing it in real
19:15
time going. Everybody's like and he and he
19:17
said he caught it and he's like, let's keep this train rolling.
19:22
Yeah, they actually kept replaying it on the TV broadcast
19:24
and everyone's waiting to see if he caught it.
19:27
And I mean, they put that thing in slow MO a million times.
19:29
And he definitely did. Almost positive it was Nicky
19:31
Javala put a picture out and it was Ed McCaffrey, Luke's dad,
19:37
having a similar catch just like that.
19:40
And Ed was able to actually pull that thing in.
19:42
So it was it was badass to see. And this is actually what Jane
19:45
had to say about that play. Jane left in the yard, back to
19:48
that. Like from an energy standpoint
19:49
and momentum standpoint, how big was that for you guys?
19:51
I mean, huge. We got points to tie it up, to
19:54
go into halftime. That was huge.
19:56
He was played by Luke and this. In a row that Luke has made a
19:59
really big play for you guys, how how worried for you?
20:01
I know you've put in a lot of work with him to see him kind of
20:03
having those moments. Yeah, man, the work that he puts
20:05
in, Dan and Dale, he deserves all the plays that he made
20:09
because he put in the work. I mean, no Buck is stepping up
20:14
right I. Just.
20:16
I go back to training camp and people saying, well, is
20:19
McCafferty going to get a roster spot?
20:21
Right? And coach actually talked about
20:23
it today during his press conference and didn't get a
20:25
chance to cut that McCaffrey to get more snaps on offense.
20:28
But he's our sole kick return away.
20:30
So because of that, that's why we're not seeing him play that
20:32
many snaps on. Oh, it has nothing to do with
20:34
anything else other than that. That's why you're seeing Chris
20:36
Moore and Tay and some other guys in there and said of Luke,
20:40
because if Luke's that return with kicks, that's for sure.
20:43
Debo's not going back there. So So what else you're going to
20:46
do? You know, I'm I'm just happy for
20:47
the kid. I'm happy to see the young guys
20:49
step up. And you know, you mentioned on
20:51
the last part you wanted Jayden to get hit because you wanted
20:55
him to feel that he'd be able to bounce back.
20:57
And I feel that once he did, after he changed his cleats.
21:00
So I doubt that you guys knew he changed his cleats when you're
21:03
out there because I'm sure they're not putting that on
21:05
Jemma Trauma. Once he changed his cleats, it
21:07
was kind of a 1/3 down scramble. He came up short and he slept.
21:12
So he immediately went, took all the pink cleats, put some other
21:14
cleats on, changed those out and went back out for another play
21:18
about a drive after that. And then I don't even think he
21:21
slit. I think we just took a hit just
21:23
for the heck of it. And it was almost like it
21:26
flipped a switch. And you could see him smile on
21:29
the broadcast. And I'm thinking to myself, you
21:33
know, I'm done it now. And there there's you have no
21:35
idea what you have just did because this could have.
21:38
And we talked about him possibly being rusty because of what we
21:41
saw during preseason and everything in training camp.
21:45
But there was 0 rust man. And that young man, just, he
21:50
just, he turned it on, right? And that's the offensive
21:53
explosive again. And that's what I was trying to
21:58
say in the last part. You hit it right on the head
22:00
once. They gave him a little hit.
22:02
Whatever have you? And he felt that confidence
22:04
like, oh, man, this thing is OK, It's time to go out here and do
22:08
what we got to do. But we don't want you to be
22:10
reckless though, JD. We love you, baby.
22:15
But. But one thing that I didn't
22:16
like, I liked it, but I didn't like it is when he he pitched
22:19
the ball to to Bill and Bill's running out and he's like a
22:24
blocker for Bill, you know? I don't.
22:27
I don't think you like it, but I don't like it.
22:29
Yeah, I like it, but I don't like it.
22:31
It was a real block because I went back and looked at it like
22:33
Jane was like kind of running just more so to get in the way.
22:36
He wasn't actually trying to get out there.
22:38
But who did bust the block for Bill was Luke.
22:42
Luke was downfield running and helping us blocks out for Bill.
22:47
And it was just it was nice to see you man.
22:49
But going back to Jade and being smart, I don't know how many
22:52
times we saw him slide, how many times he just OK, the play is
22:55
not there. He just threw the ball away.
22:57
He was just he was playing smart.
22:59
But one thing that did frustrate me the second play from
23:02
scrimmage was a design keeper, right?
23:05
It was a design run for Jade and he got demolished, lost 3 yards
23:10
on the play. I'm thinking, all right, Swift,
23:12
like what are you doing here, man?
23:13
I mean, it just it didn't make too much sense to me other than
23:16
he just wanted what you and I talked about to let Jamie field
23:19
in first half, right? It definitely wasn't there, but
23:22
the kid bounced back and we have the highest PFF grid for the
23:25
team, 85.9, right? Just no offense to Marcus, but
23:30
Jaden is game changer, right? He's a generation and there's a
23:34
reason why. As long as he's out there now,
23:37
he's got it. I mean, not to jump to the Bears
23:40
this week, but it's going to be a fun match up, a fun rematch in
23:44
that Hill, Maryland game with, you know, Caleb, who's playing a
23:47
lot better than it was last year.
23:49
Also, coming off a bye week, coming back to Land Rover for a
23:52
kind of a homecoming because we saw what Jayden did with his
23:54
hooked up. Yeah, yeah, I, I can't wait.
23:57
And the good thing is they've got a long period of time to
24:01
rest, so I'm really happy about that.
24:05
So that mighty interception down at the goal line, was that your
24:09
end zone or was? That the other, that was my,
24:10
that was my end zone. Yeah.
24:11
And I think that's where I think that's where the picture that's
24:14
circulating with me in the background of them.
24:20
And I'm showing all 32. Yeah, I'm showing all 32.
24:24
Nice, nice. So what were you thinking?
24:26
Because they're driving down that field, I mean, just going
24:29
everywhere on this. We can't stop them.
24:31
But they found something, right? So what were you thinking about
24:35
the? With you, I can say it at that
24:37
point time, I wasn't worried. It not like how I was when it
24:41
was 10, nothing. I don't care what anybody says.
24:44
When it was 10, nothing. I was worried.
24:46
But once we they were driving, I said, you know what, we get the
24:50
ball back. It was almost like go ahead and
24:52
not. I don't not to say this, let
24:54
them score, but OK, let them do what they got to do.
24:56
We get the ball back in and we can punish them, you know what I
24:59
mean? Because they couldn't stop us.
25:01
So I wasn't necessarily worried at that point, Yeah.
25:06
It was to me, OK, it's time consuming, but I'm also thinking
25:10
the same way you were. I wasn't worried.
25:11
Like, OK, they get in. They still got to stop us.
25:13
They couldn't stop us. We were stopping ourselves and
25:16
we had some stupid penalties. Couple things that slowed us
25:18
down. But you know that Bill had that
25:21
fumble. But when we were stopping
25:23
ourselves to a point, their defense, they had no answer for
25:26
Jane, right? And luckily they were helping us
25:29
out with stupid penalties. And I'm not sure if you noticed.
25:33
Guess who got picked on on their side?
25:35
Of course, of course I do. Saint Jude, they showed him on
25:40
the they showed him on the big screen and everybody, they
25:44
showed him on the big screen and all the commander Spanish
25:46
cheered. Yeah, that's hilarious.
25:48
So every time something happened, they showed him up
25:51
top, yeah. So St.
25:53
Juice. Was on Debo Debo 11 for one
25:57
Jalen Lane. He covered Luke.
25:59
I mean, he had a horrible grade at that point.
26:02
So it was it was nice to see that, you know, we're actually
26:06
justified to get rid of him and having him go over there and
26:08
that next thing you know, Jane found that guy to pick on and
26:12
took advantage of him. But going back to that IMT, this
26:15
is actually Mikey talking about what happened during that play.
26:18
Well, so we. Were in one of our calls just I
26:22
was in my zone just playing off of Herbert's eyes and seeing
26:25
where he was and I honestly without the tip or not, I think
26:29
he was going to throw it right to me just based off of where he
26:32
was looking. We made a check that put me in
26:35
the right spot and I knew I had help over top from Bobby.
26:38
I had Quan behind me and then we had Trey in the flat.
26:41
So everybody was where we're supposed to be with
26:43
communicating and you know, tips and overthrows got to get those.
26:47
Johnny made a good play, he tipped it and I was where I was
26:50
supposed to be. Was able to come up with
26:51
interception. So could you tell pre snap the
26:55
communication I did see? A lot of obviously I can't hear,
27:02
but I see a lot of hand movement and people giving the, the check
27:05
like, yes, I got you OK, or, or waving it off and saying
27:09
something else. I, I, I did see a lot of that
27:11
because let's face it, that's all they talked about last week.
27:14
Because the, and there are a lot of videos circulating about
27:16
there's no communication amongst these guys.
27:18
And I can run a high school offense and they, and I can burn
27:21
them because they don't communicate with each other.
27:22
Well, that changed this game. And so I'm hoping that that goes
27:27
into the for the rest of the season that they just get better
27:30
with the communication because if they continue to do what
27:33
they're doing, I mean, don't get me wrong, you had a couple guys
27:36
who were open for for the Chargers and and it pissed me
27:38
off, but that's just the ebbs in floor football.
27:41
You're not going to be able to just lock down everyone.
27:43
So you're going to get your, your, your, your pieces here and
27:46
there. So but I did see a lot of better
27:49
communication and I honestly think man, once again, the fact
27:53
that they, they substituted more and it brought him guys fresh
27:56
legs and I even had a Preston Smith sighting.
28:00
He played out there. So I kind of figured that he
28:03
would after I saw him in Atlanta and I asked him, Hey, Preston,
28:06
what's up, bro? And he's getting the, you know,
28:10
I don't know, but he was out there last week and Von Miller
28:13
did his thing. We talked about Von Miller not
28:16
really doing much of anything, but Von he, he got his man as
28:18
well. So everybody did what they
28:21
needed to do in order to make this team better.
28:24
It was a it was a collective group, if you will, to get this
28:29
thing done. Yeah, it definitely was, man.
28:31
Everyone stepped up. Everyone realized how big this
28:33
thing was and they just, I feel that they all fed off and Five's
28:36
energy, right? They, they didn't feel that they
28:39
were down. They didn't feel like they were
28:40
out at all. And that's something special
28:42
that kid gives you, even if he's not on the field.
28:44
Everyone can just kind of feed off and bounce, if you will, and
28:48
just bounce back from it, right? The poor tackling we have, yeah,
28:51
there are a couple broken tackles, right?
28:53
Hampton definitely ran to a couple of guys, but you can see
28:56
people gang tackling, running to the ball, making.
28:59
So they were there and it led to fumbles, right?
29:01
It led to an interception, right?
29:03
The fact that Marshawn Lattimore did what he did this week and
29:07
recovered that fumble, right? That claw knocked the thing out.
29:10
We got 14 points off those two picks or the pick and the
29:14
fumble. And I mean, Joe Wentt likes to
29:16
say ball is life and that gave us life and 27 unanswered
29:19
points, right? I just at a point thinking this
29:23
thing's done, like you can hear you guys take over.
29:27
You couldn't hear the charging fans anymore, right?
29:30
And people were cheering and you got to wonder like, what's going
29:32
on? Oh, it's because we were
29:34
stopping them, right? And.
29:36
They just kept. Talking about on the broadcast,
29:37
because I was listening to London and Bram about how many
29:40
Burgundy and Gold fan the record there and that it was just a
29:43
homecoming game for Jayden. But it also felt like a home
29:46
game considering all of you that followed him out there.
29:48
I think they said it was maybe 6040.
29:51
I mean, what do you think the numbers were?
29:54
I'd say 6040. I'd say 6040.
29:57
Yeah, definitely, definitely. And it felt good leading a
29:59
defensive chant to get everybody going.
30:03
There's a video circulating around.
30:04
I never know when somebody's going to record me, but there's
30:06
a video circulating around and I even posted it getting everybody
30:10
hyped up. It's just good to see.
30:13
Yeah, I actually I saw that. One I think you put on
30:15
Instagram, I trust me. I know how you feel about never
30:18
know when someone's going to video you, but it's just it's
30:21
awesome to see you, man, and I'm glad you and I were both wrong.
30:25
I'm glad that the boys played out right were 4 1/2.
30:28
Point. Dogs winning in the Bears game
30:30
this week. But, you know, coach didn't talk
30:34
about anyone being banged up, anyone being injured coming out
30:37
of that game. I mean, Debo was questionable.
30:40
He had the heel problem, but there was no way he was missing
30:42
that game. So I'm just glad to see that we
30:44
made it out of LA, made out of that part of the road trip,
30:46
because now we got a home game and then we're on the road for
30:49
what, two more after that. So we'll see how it goes.
30:52
Yeah, no. No, no photos.
30:55
No photos. We'd have to say something to
30:58
him next time I see him. We'll see how that goes and say.
31:02
Devo, you told my boy around the captain in LA you wouldn't want
31:04
to take his picture. And then you took a picture with
31:06
his wife. What's up with that?
31:08
Or should I say, should I say no hard leg photos?
31:10
How about that? There you go.
31:12
There you go. We'll have to maybe make the
31:15
tunnel, there's no photos and put a picture of Devo up there.
31:17
We're not going to do that. But I'm just glad you guys had a
31:20
good time, man. You got to send me a picture of
31:22
that tomahawk whenever you get it and then that time after.
31:25
The the brisket. No, no, no.
31:27
When? You, when you get that victory,
31:29
stay all right. Say less.
31:31
Gotcha, Gotcha. Yeah, you definitely got to do
31:33
that. We got to do that and celebrate
31:35
this and before the matching comes on.
31:37
Yeah, definitely. Man, definitely.
31:39
Oh hey, I hear music playing in the background.
31:42
This is a short and sweet episode of the DVMS all, but we
31:45
thank you guys for listening and we will see you guys later this
31:48
week for the recap of the Bears and the Commanders.
31:52
Remember, you could be any place, listen to any podcast,
31:56
but you decided to listen to us and we greatly appreciate it.
32:00
Remember, you Rep it hard. You don't Rep it at all.
32:02
Tailgate Ted rally captain, we'll see you later.
32:05
Peace.
