New Season Kick-Off, Training Camp Battles & Conspiracy Theories | Ep 51

It sounds exciting. What did I do? I do not remember. I don't think I've done much. Did you go somewhere? I disappeared. I don't remember what I did. I think she was. in New York do you see any movies I didn't see any I haven't seen a movie in I can't even tell you the last movie I saw what movie in a theater or just movie in general in general me and televisions, I have them on, they've been watching television, okay for you the last time I turned on the TV, it was that thing that was there just to preview the second

season

, guys, look at that art.

I'll tell you which one is the first. What I do see in

training

camp

, Hard Knocks, baby, he's got the guts of a quarterback. No, he was going alone. I have been a. I love this show alone and for some reason it's always streaming or on Netflix. At boot

camp

, you know what a loan is, they basically take like, I don't know, 10 or 12 people and they're like survival experts. or whatever and they go to the desert and get like 10 items and whoever does it. It is the one that gains the most time. I thought by being a part of Kelsey's disgusting capture you would realize that reality TV isn't weird, this is real, even though it's not real, they lose like 40 pounds and have to get

kick

ed off the show. for being malnourished, yeah, I bet, but it's made me think what, uh, I think it's fun to do it with experts, but we should do our own version on our own and see how long NFL players can survive in the wild.

Damn, I'm going to I need help guys I'm going to need a lot of help I need civilization There's no chance we're making it any more than I mean I feel like I can do it for as long as it takes to starve if you give me a pot to boil water and I can lower it. I mean, fire, get out of here. I can make a fire. Are you kidding. I can make a fire now. Do you want to do it just you and me? No, i do not do it. I don't believe in their shoes, who goes further?

I lost as soon as you told me virtue, Morty, you can eat alone. I'll be resting there drinking water as long as I boil it and don't catch Jordy. I can last a while. I gotta get fat, man, I gotta get fat so I can survive if I have to. I couldn't build a shelter, although some of these shelters are crazy. Who do you think would win the NFL alone? Just the NFL, oh just, the show, um, if only NFL players, you know, I think they would do really well, but he's not a current player, do they have to be current players?

I feel like we don't know about it because they're like in the wild and they're out there and they're not like a big name, you know, I mean, like the name of your living room, like they don't care about that, they care about how to cook. eggs with stones and the guy I was going to go with who is currently not there. an NFL player, I would choose Andrew Luck for some reason. I feel like he's read a lot of books about this and spent a lot of time outside. I think Andrew Luck would do well.

I'm going to go with um pick someone with someone who likes cool. physical stature like, I bet Tyreek Hill would like to catch something, kill it, give it a knife, he could, he could run over a deer, I mean, he's pretty fast, oh damn, that would be a good show, just the NFL with Jared Allen. One time he killed something with a spear from a tree, I don't even know what I'm talking about. Jared Allen wins in the league if he is still in the league. Something about those Jorts and the flannel man, just says that guy can survive. we have to shout out one of our sponsors, we have to show one of our sponsors that you probably see is drinking all the time during the show and that's the only accelerator, active energy drinks speed up your life, you like it, how is it? ?

season

training

camp, just a reminder for first-time listeners. The way the bold topics work during the season is that Jason will teach us some topics about my games or my training camp and I will do the same with the Chiefs training camp, this training camp that shocked the world, Travis, you brought back the mustache, so what? is what inspired this change, did you hear that thing, why do you have a mustache now?

You hear it, I hear it, everyone hears us, it's just that these whiskers are thriving right now, I just moistened them, it explains the stash, it would even explain the stash I feel. I like it, it originally started a few years ago. I always bring it to training camp because that's when I don't have paid appearances or I'm not subject to doing anything where I have to team up with a company. and you look presentable, so you're saying that companies probably don't like your hidden appearance, it's just not that recognizable, so it's like I don't know, it's actually pretty funny.

I'll go somewhere with a hat and, uh, sunglasses on and no one. He knows I hide in the trees, man, I just blend in. I want to see a picture of you and Uncle Don side by side because you look like Uncle Don with this plate, it's like that. I want to see dad in his 30s with a mustache. Well, dad used to have Fu Manchu talking about worse facial hair, worse facial hair, what's the worst facial you've ever had? The worst fit, probably in high school, when he had the chin strap, was just that he had to Abe Lincoln.

He had the Abe Lincoln but it was like my version of two weeks where it would be like the newspaper two weeks ago. I had it my entire high school career, the Abe Lincoln, yeah, I think the worst facial hair I ever had was when I didn't have facial hair, you know what I mean, um, this whole thing needs to move on. I got my mustache thanks to my head coach, Andy Reed, I think we all did, uh, when I say we're the team, uh. about 10 of us got together and said yes we will be back after this day off with mustaches, downtime. 10 people came back with mustaches, yeah there's a photo from a few years ago so that's where it started, so every year.

I just did it and I always look at the coach reading and I start brushing that thing right there, coach. I'm one Hawaiian shirt away from looking like you, well have you found out what Taylor Swift thinks of your mustache? Yes. We're not going to mention Taylor Swift in this episode, but something tells me he'll like her, yeah, no, so I always have fun with that and now I think El Trevador is here to stay. I think I'm going to rock this. thing until we lose a game you're going to rock it until you lose let me see let's see let's see let's see let's see if it's a winner if this thing is a winner man it could go on like this because it's not what a shame right now it's not I'm, I'm not going to lie I think the mustache is rocking right now yeah, it's back, it's got a good look, you said you should rock it, you had the ultimate mustache, you had it all over.

Yes, Twirler, you were a walrus. Yeah, your rookie year, I think it was my second year that I was born with ACL and I was my senior trying to raise money for Movember. How nice that there was a prostate awareness campaign focused on growing a mustache. so I participated in that hell, yes, yes. I won't shave again or be able to see anything around my neck until I lose about 50 pounds. So what do you think of your mustache versus Kirk Cousins? I mean, Kirk Cousins ​​is him. that's pretty good, I mean, I can't hate a Fu Manchu.

You see, a good Fu Manchu, he is nothing but respect brother, that's what that handle is like. At what point does the handlebar become Fu Manchu? It's Fu Manchu and he is the pendant. But. I know what you mean I don't think it's a handlebar I think he's a Fu Manchu, so what is a handlebar? When he turned, you had the handlebars. God, that's because it's like a bicycle. I mean, it's like a fair. I'm glad we're getting to the bottom of this Chiefs camp, uh, uh, yeah, we need to talk about it early in camp, where things got a little extracurricular, it's football, it's the training camp, I'm very tired.

I'm really hot and things are happening that I don't appreciate, so I mean, you know what it is, you have to keep those emotions under control, yeah, so yeah, I'd rather be hanging around the training ground than during the season. You know what I mean, I feel so sorry for Caprio and Jack for throwing Haymakers, but it's not the first time someone has thrown Haymakers in training camp, something like that happens every year. Andy Reed said, uh, I'm just glad that at that age I still have it. a little juice in them, oh so I guess Andy wasn't that mad about it 'cause I got the stash baby, I got the joke, you had a crushing machine? uh we're getting into these fights, was that already there or was that safe? the stats were post fight, yeah that's a good teammate, you can't be, you can't hit people, that's fair.

Mahomes behind the back pass. We all saw it for the first time outside of warmups that Mahomes is throwing a behind-the-back pass. He's been doing this forever and every time he does it I yell at him, do it in the game, yeah, do you think it's going to happen this year in the game? I don't think the situation he has now will ever happen. to be a perfect decision, like instinctive, like yeah, there's only one way to do this and it's like behind your back. I feel like it's a play designed like Gotta Be Like A Red Zone, you know what I mean, there's no way he's premeditating or what.

Is it pre, yes, premeditate like or before the center? Okay, I'm going to throw this back pass right here. You know there's no way it doesn't make any sense. Well, I think they could do it in the Red Zone. like you see the Everybody Plays statue or guys like transfers and things like that like maybe you just know a little bit. I don't think Andy will accept it, although I mean the possibilities are endless here in this really walking factory. that's good yeah snozberries taste like snozberries around here that's the next version of the uh Ring Around the Rosie Willy Wonka the Willy Wonka Endless Possibilities Chiefs go two and one in the preseason games and you guys started in two of the games, almost all three.

There were a select few who didn't play in that third preseason game, yes, but almost all of them were getting into action. What do you think about still getting playing time in preseason games? Do you think it is beneficial? I think it's beneficial, especially if they don't like joint practices so we can line up against someone else, a different opponent, the defense that you're going to face in training camp here, like the cheese defense that we're going up against, theybe smart about it. We don't have to understand what happened. Everyone already saw and saw what happened.

Was there a message from Siriani or something afterwards? I do not want to say. Listen to how your teammates reacted and all kinds of reactions, everyone on board was like that guy or listen, I don't want to get into any of that. I think the bottom line is that I got hot and I can't allow that. to happen, you know what I mean, you can't let your emotions get the best of you, you know there's no situation where that should have happened and escalated to that, so you know, that's what it is and I think That, you know, for us, that's all Nick wanted, like it was the same preaching, you know, in a game you can't do anything if something happens to one of your teammates or whatever.

You know, the reality is that you have to operate. like it's in a game and you can't do all the little things or anything that might compromise the team and their ability to win football games, which is ultimately what we're trying to do, so you know, I think that, um, you I know for us it's about trying to be a smart football team, a disciplined football team and, uh, that wasn't a shining moment for me, well, I respected the big dog, the Philly dogs. Speaking of dogs, let's talk about a group of players that Philadelphia fans want.

I'm hearing more about the Philly dogs, that defensive leader, how's it going one-on-one with Jalen Carter? I haven't done a one on one against some, fortunately he has been facing the guard. I've been having my hands full with Jordan Davis which isn't much more fun, okay they just get bigger as they get closer to Jason, yeah for some reason I get smaller but now everyone's talking by Jalen. Jalen card has had a tremendous camp, you see all the flashes of Well, what it takes to be a top-tier running back in this league: He has the ability to threaten you with power and the ability to threaten you with nervousness and get to your advantage and to me that's the hardest thing whether you're a defensive end or defensive tackle and nose guard if you want to be great and you really want to make it difficult for players to pass, block or run.

You have to be able to threaten both, you know if you only have one of them you know players can play it if you only have one power you can sit back and do things to protect against that if you only have uh. You know, agility based moves or finesse moves, there are things that an offensive lineman can do to mitigate that, but if you can actually do both, that keeps the offensive lineman on his toes, you know, I'm going to sell myself here. to stop the power or I'm going to, you know, do some kind of benching for the fact that he's going to try to hit me and expose my chest and I think the best runners I've been with know how to do those The movements combine with each other , they make them look very similar, so it's hard to predict what's coming.

You know, he's still young. I don't want to put too much on his shoulders, he's still a rookie, he's a big kid, he can do it. handle it I think I speak for everyone in the NovaCare complex, you know, people are very excited about what Jaylen Carter has done so far. Philly Dogs is a cool name, it's like the Iron Curtain or something. you want to support the public schools and the kids of Philadelphia right now we have a lot of Georgia dogs on the team and you know they're all dogs I mean they've all had good camps it's been fun to watch them.

I'm really excited to see what it looks like especially on the defensive side of the ball yeah Lane Johnson says Jalen Carter is like a bigger Geno Atkins and a lot of them might not be the biggest name in the game that's a absolute good name. or he's an absolute beast, I mean, you turn on the tape you don't want with that perennial All Pro Player dog jumping around. Gino is amazing and he was the same, he had crazy power, crazy leverage, what other position

battles

or one? on-ones, did you like seeing the man obviously in the Old Line room?

I'm always looking forward to seeing the young guys play, compete against each other, improve, how they react to training, how they improve throughout the process, um, you. I know I live a lot in that world of trenches. I love watching the linebackers. You know how they are going to get out of the blockages. As training camp goes on, yeah, I think they start to see the plays better, you start to understand, yeah, that's the processing speeds up a little bit, and you know, I think that's the goal, man, yeah, It's been fun to see it completed.

The defense is taking shape with Sean Desai and all those coaches, so I wouldn't say at any other position, we have a lot of running backs that got a lot of touches and obviously that's a big part of the running game, so I'm always watching. That and man, I'm not going to lie, I liked all of our running backs this year in training camp. I think they all have strengths, they all did certain things very, very well, so yeah, I thought for the most part it's fun to watch. guys go out and make plays man the DB versus wide receiver debate has affected the Eagles Michael Irvin Richard Sherman Keyshawn Johnson um had everyone, including AJ Brown and Darius Slay, debating the toughest position in football , as we have already discussed.

Everyone just came to an agreement that DB trying to stop someone is easier than trying to, you know, make a guy fail, but trying to stop someone is harder than trying to make a guy fail. The more I think about it, though it's really just the hardest position when it's one-on-one, so you're saying in zone coverage you can. I could go play cover three right now, that's fair. I think if it depends on what technique, it always depends on what technique and what the circumstances are and situations are happening, I still mean the one on one with Terry Gill, that there is no chance that you have ever tried to beat a double team in coverage.

Have I ever tried it? Yeah, like I did last year, the Raiders uh put. uh yeah, he put a safety or a DB on me and then he had a safety lying in wait any time I crossed the field to double up and that wasn't the easiest coverage to beat, you know, it was a tough day, you know. Is this what we base it on? Are we basing ourselves on the most difficult point in football? you mean like, are we basing it on whether I'm double teaming or DB? he's in one-on-one coverage because then it's like, well, I'm going to take a DB in that situation because if it's two-on-one, I mean, I'm essentially on that route or that play, I'm going to say it.

Again, people can't even play it. I don't even know what we're discussing here, so this isn't like there's even a question about what is the hardest individual position to play. You are a top-level offensive player, defensive coaches are going to plan and do things to stop you and that is going to be very difficult, but that has nothing to do with what is the most difficult thing on the field, which is covering someone One against one. -one in the field that is 50 yards wide. I am in any of these other scenarios that we are proposing. I mean, sometimes I have to block guys like ndamukusu.

You know, I have to do it all, but I'm 240. 250. It's not that 255 can't take another one. I just told everyone to negotiate. I tried to negotiate. You have some long arms. You have the reach advantage. I have no advantage in that. Yes, longer arms emerge. No way, beefy arms. So it looks like his arms are shorter. No, you're lanky, you have, you have long arms. "They're doing great. I can't do it. That's your language. Just look long there. Yeah, I just got them. Rubbery knees. Can you explain what rubbery knees are? Well, yeah, I mean, it's their knees that are that they're not rigid.

I don't even have knees, that's the point, it doesn't even work like it's a joint, it's like it moves and, um, yeah, I mean, they move in ways that don't make sense to human anatomy. Gumby's knees are like them. They go in they go out there is no rigidity in them they are like deep virginity what rigidity rigidity same difference I have no idea what you are talking about and I just made up a word no, I'm telling you what is the The easiest position to play center is that there is no way to help a guard physically.

I think mentally it is very difficult. I think every position has things that are difficult and easier. I mean, I think center is of all the offensive line positions. by far the easiest to play physically, you know you're in the least amount of space there, I would have to say defensive end, yeah that's the easiest, I think D tackle is tough because you have to face doubles, you need to do something, you have to do it. do something um D final, yeah, c-ball, get the ball. I mean, it's definitely the easiest way. You have a Gap, you stay in that Gap or you get the soccer ball.

Bud, yeah, I don't know if I could play again, it's like I would. I know a DN 100 finesse no, because you have long arms you would use that long arm step you don't have to be so strong when I stay in it I don't know why you think I have long arms, man, you just know, a guy like JJ Watt He puts his hands on my shoulders and doesn't he just try to reach his shell like he can't? He's too far away because his arms are too long, yeah, well, let's go back to the Eagles preseason, uh.

Final thoughts on the preseason, you guys won 0-2 and that means absolutely anything, well I mean I'm even going to start. I don't think in any of the games, maybe in Def, maybe a couple of young guys, yeah, I think the preseason games are important to evaluate the young players or 100, where the guys are. If we hadn't had joint practices, obviously we would have started in the preseason games, but I think the coach has the opportunity to see all the guys. in those environments, uh, they wanted to do it and um, I mean, I love preseason games, I really love them, they're fun, you see these young guys just go out and play some balls, that's awesome, man, and it's like watching a guy carrying something on him. that he's been screwing up or that, um, we plan all week, hey, if they do this, this is coming, this is what's going to happen, you make this call, everything will set up like all those little things and seeing the guys go out there and execute um it's just dude it's a pleasure to see it happen so um I love the preseason games.

I love seeing guys go out and make a name for themselves or go out and have a great game, um, that no one really knew what to expect. So I'm always around for the preseason games and I'm really happy with the way all the young guys did for the most part. Now, across the league, let's quickly touch on some things that have been happening. OK let's do it. after the Cowboys traded for Trey Lance, Jerry Jones admitted he wanted to draft Jalen too, it hurts, what do you think it is? I mean, it's a cool move.

Jerry, yeah, if you didn't have a quarterback yet, why does he say that with his starter? we had a quarterback and we selected him without comment. Jerry is so funny for saying this knowing that Dak Prescott is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League and he's sitting here saying, oh yeah, I would have drafted Jalen because he's a stud. you're putting words in Jerry's mouth Jerry knows exactly what he's saying and he's saying he's not convinced Dak, that's what he's saying, he's not saying he's blatantly saying I think you can read that if you want. but no I can't even read it's simple math one plus one equals two oh my god Rams Matthew Stafford is supposedly struggling to connect with young teammates according to his wife's podcast what's the name of the Chad's sister?

I forgot, oh my god. Kelly Hall, well, Kelly Stafford, Kelly, I'm sorry, Kelly, shout out to chat with Hall, I mean, yeah, honey, every time we can shout out to chat with Chad, that's right, I love that guy he is, I think she's in, she's in Jacksonville, now yeah, no, she left the Bill, she's with Jacksonville with Doug Peterson in them, yeah, he had the Bills wide receivers, oh, they're showing up and now he's got an arsenal of receivers there in Jacksonville. I can't wait, I can't wait to see what they do this year. Now, Matthew Stafford was quoted Kelly Stafford, yeah, I guess it was for Well, they have a lot of rookies on their team, they're very young, but he says, I feel like I can't connect in the old days.

In practice you would shower and people would play cards interacting but now they come out of practice and play during training camp and go straight to their phones they say sir and he says no they say sir they called Matt Stafford, sir. in the locker room I mean, that's what Kelly says, that's crazy and he says no, we're on the same level here, you know, we both play in the league, I'm not sure if you know, let me meet you, oh, I. I guess this is making me cringe to some extent. I see what he's saying.

Do they call you Mr. Kelsey? Yes, I have an old head. uh, yeah, oh, wow, oh, your original gangster, that's when you know you made it, no, I think most people just. go for Kells um yeah, I mean,fact that the social media team started calling him Ed. Reed Blankenship and of course the amazing quote about the man's sleigh in the reading where he says there's no milk control, it's good milk, it doesn't spoil, man, he kills, he has good liners, he is the best, he has good liners, man. we have a lot of Batman gone, that's good for him, that's good for him, this is it, this is the milk control man, that's sweet, okay, that concludes the first official episode of the second season, That's it for all the 92 percent who come back for another one. season with us, we can't thank you enough, we will have an amazing guest with us next week to help kick off the NFL season.
