Well, then let's get down to build a great voice for it. I don't have a great voice for like modern music, but if you want to throw me in a fucking Disney movie, I could fucking rock. You're basically a Disney prince. Yeah, what is it? Let's get down to business to who pod cast. Okay. That was right. Where were you going with this? Bring your sons and daughters. Okay. Don't repeat the language. Nice podcaster. Welcome back to New Heights. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we've missed you. Yeah. Over here on New Heights, a wonder show brought to you by NFL Sunday taking on YouTube TV football is back. God, man, I've been at a training camp for three weeks, four weeks. Guys, I can't even count how long it's been. And it's good to see you guys. And we're excited to get this thing rolling for season five. Six. How many years have we been doing this? Apparently, this is the fifth. And where your house here at New Heights? That's right. Jason Kelsey, my big brother, and I'm Travis Kelsey. His little brother. Subscribe on YouTube, where we get your podcasts. All social media at New Heights show with 1s for fun clips throughout the week. I'm sure we'll have a bunch of those this week. Haven't talked to Jason forever. Jason, tell the people we got coming up. 90% is we are fucking back in season five. We're going to recap all we've been in this off season. We're going to get into everything from training camps. We've also got Aaron Donald. He's back. Shit. And Travis also. I don't know if you got anything. This off season we want to mention. But if you do work, it now would be the time. We're going to just remember that. New news. New news coming in. Our first bit of new news though, arguably the most important bit of new news that we have. Jason has been selected for the Cincinnati athletics 50th anniversary Hall of Fame class. That's right. Jason's Hall of Fame. Let's go cats. How does it feel to be in the Hall of Fame? Jason, there's your second Hall of Fame that you've been inducted in, correct? I'm trying to think if I've been in another one. Are you in another one? Ohio Music Hall of Fame. Are you in that one? No, I'm in that one. Are you in the Ohio swim cadets? No. No, no, no, no. I don't think they'll use this yet. Well, either way, how does it feel? It feels like since they want some money. And. We top. Top. Top. Top. Let's take that. Let's rewind that back. Let's. Keep it PG first. I mean, Liz, I was that was a two time. All big East. Come on now, baby. Big. Back with. Back with. Back with. Now you were 15. No, I was not. I was a second team. All conference twice. And I'm in the Hall of Fame. So I does feel like. A bit of this has been from my post career. At 100%. 100%. 100%. It's an incredible honor. I'm going in with my art. Former college teammate. My former pro teammate. Kind of ball. And it's also going to. You know that's. You know that's the counter, man. You know the third member going in this year. Oh, I do know. I do know who it is. The old ball coach. That's right. Bob Huggins. Huggins. Huggie bear is going in. Coach Hugges. Congrats, man. That's awesome. Yeah. So part of an awesome class. Obviously incredibly honored. That's Cincinnati would. Adorn me. With this honor into the Hall of Fame class. But you know, again, I feel a little odd knowing that. I was a walk on. Like two time conference. Second team. Selection. But we did have a lot of success. It was a fun time. I love Cincinnati. I still love going back. We're going back to a game this week, actually. Connor me and Brent Selick. We're going to roll down. So looking forward to that. Yeah, they got Boston college, baby. Let's go, man. Let's go. Let's start off the gear on the right foot, baby. Let's go. Yeah. So back to you getting into the Hall of Fame, though, man. I hear what you're saying. But at the same time, man, you're your football career. I'm representative of the university. Exactly. Exactly. It doesn't just. It's not one little. And it was. And as much as you loved being there. And you love talking about being there. And you are. You are in a big way. An advocate for the university. I think a lot of that is by all means a part of this. And I think I think you you know, you saying that, you know, you went there. You loved it there. You grew there. You became a even better football player there. And then you went on to do unbelievable things. That a lot of centers in the entire world that have ever played this game. I've never done. I think that has a lot to do with you getting this this acknowledgement. So I appreciate it, Travis. Thank you. Very honored to be there. Can't wait to go back. Cincinnati. I love being there. Can't wait to watch the bear cats. Come on, baby. Get up old. Nippert stadium. And one of those nice high rise sweets. They got there, man. Ooh, there are some. There are some sweet seats right above the tunnel that the cats walk out on now. I saw them selling those tickets. Those things look sweet, man. The best seat I ever had was in the student session at the basketball game. That was. Yeah, you got that sounds like you got to find your way over to the student section, baby. I mean, listen, see the band come flying down those steps in the beginning. I got a pretty. I got a pretty iconic photo from like one of my first couple of years out in the student section cheering on the. You see the basketball. I'm going to go fast because. Yeah. Yeah. You can see gays in the boys. Let's go. Do you want to look at these college photos? Yeah, let's go. Let's go ahead and throw. Throw out those college photos. I think that sits in. It's an ad posted, right? Gosh, looking at old photos, especially the college years, man. I got some fucking gnarly photos. Holy shit, chasing you won the Heisman. I did. Oh, what a ball player, man. Man, dude, you got to bring back the stash, man. I so I just hate doing my face looks without a beard. Just go away. Yeah, no chance. You're a handsome young man, Jason. Look at that dude right there. A freshman year. That's a Mike Lyme backer right there. That was when I was still a man for sure. That's a man filling the eight gap, baby. Let's go. Oh, look at John gobo. Johnny goes, baby. Pits wet is. Look at this guy's had a mic in his hand. His entire life. He was made for this. Who the fuck is that guy? Oh, Trady. What is this? Oh, man. New heights in the beginning. Is this the beginning of new heights? It'll cam higher ground. That's all right. Camp higher ground. You probably were a freshman that year. Mmm. Winning the kega nails against Louisville. Louisville. Yeah. Yeah, baby. Look at that, man. Haha. The one at the bottom is hilarious. That is Travis is senior night. So I would have been my second year. I got a tour in ACL. Well, I freshen up a prayer at ACL at that point. That a boy. Little Derek Wolf action. Wolfie. Wolfie in the picture. Gobs. Gobs. How about it, man? Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Not my finest. Not my finest. Interesting. Interesting angle. Interesting shot. Oh, yeah. This is what. This is what Jason's teammates remember. Being at the fucking front of the fight. Haha. The commander in chief. Always leading everybody into battle, baby. Is that what I look like when I'm yelling? Is that how it always looks? You don't really see it as that because it happened so fast. But I think when. I think that is you in the flesh. That's not AI. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I used to just take a rate. Like I would just take my razor. And that's how I trim my eyebrows. I would just go straight across my eyebrows. Yeah. Super thin. And not having any shape. I'll go right here. I'll go right here. Oh, my God. Dude. I'll go right here. And then I would. And then I would. And then I would. And then I would. Razor across. That's all. That's a pretty good line. I would. If you didn't say that, I would have never guessed. But they are definitely way thinner than what they are now. Oh, yeah. That's funny. As a man. That's a funny man. I remember one year I actually tried to shave my chest in college. And then it grew back so fast that I tried to. Really quick. Yeah. I tried to wax it after that. And I showed up like 50-year-old virgin where it's like bloody and patchy. And I have scabs on my chest. Yeah. Right. So I'd just gave up on that. I do real quick in about two weeks. I was like, yeah, I'll probably never do that again. Gosh. College. Just trying to figure things out, man. Well, now that we've been able to embarrass me through a bunch of photos. There's a bear's Travis. Travis made his debut as a global ambassador for Tommy Hill figure. Can it embarrass me? I mean, you look a lot better than I do. I love what you're doing with your outdo when you think of a photo. Are they telling you to put your elbow like that? Sometimes you'll get so you listen photographers. They have some good direction. You know, I always think of the scene and awesome powers. There's like, I need a tiger. I need a. Yes, yes, no, no, yes. But yeah, I don't remember whether I did this or not. But it is a bit, it is a bit chip and daily, for sure. It looks good. I mean, you're definitely like suggestive a little bit with that right hand. It's a good photo. Nice. Oh, there's more.

We're about two weeks out of the season kickoff. Actually probably about a week and a half since we're playing on a Wednesday out in Australia. But the NFL season kicks off next Wednesday. So let's get into everything from training camp and the preseason. That's right. And let's start with you, Trap. Obviously you guys just finished up St. Joe's training camp out there in the wonderful state of Missouri. Yeah, officially on to the, you know, we're done preseason games now. We're focused on the regular season. He has opened it up with the Denver Broncos, big opener. But let's rewind a little bit. How was it your 14th season at St. Joe's? Man, it's crazy. It's gone 14 years since the first time I walked up there. They all are the same. You know, coach Reed runs this camp very. I mean, I've only been under one coach and so I know the schedule like the back of my hand now. The biggest difference is I'm I'm pretty prompt and on time. I'm over here. I've seen you running down the hill a couple of clips online. No, I say you're still. It's just my excitement to get things going, you know. Yeah, excited for the day. Yes. I would say year 14. I've been in the same dorm. 214 over at Scantlin Hall for 14 years every year. Same room. Wow. Same room. So if you're in Sweet 214 over there at Scantlin Hall, just know we slept in same bed. Shit on the same toilet. Oh my gosh. It's a time in the season that you have to have. And I love the coach Reed and then the chiefs still get away from the city. And we still take a trip away from the reality of things and get people away from, you know, the every day that is Kansas City that I mean, you're there for six months, you know, at the least. If you're not even talking about the offseason and it's almost like a sanctuary for me up there in St. Joe. And it's where I know I can just focus on my craft, getting my body as healthy as possible. All while making sure I come to work every single day. And I put all I put the pads on when we're putting pads on to be able to to get to build up the callus and the in the armor that you need to have to to get through its 16 17 18 game season or 20 game season, whatever it is. And we're fortunate enough to play this year. It's that as well as the camaraderie and building that chemistry with the team. And I don't think you tip you you get as much of that by doing it in the same place that you do. I agree. I agree. Or if you don't, you have to go you have to go to other areas to be able to incorporate that. You know, I think as I get older in my career, I really appreciate the fact that, you know, I did take those three weeks every single year to just focus on that and to be around the guys and to really just dive in and be all in on what we're about to, you know, endure together. Yeah. I understand agree. I mean, we went away in college to a higher ground. We went away when I first was the Eagles with Andy to Lehigh those first couple years. And I was one of the minority players that like really enjoyed going away for camp. I mean, I like, there's just something about like even like going to St. Joe's this year. There's a different like feeling being at like a college like that, like even just walking around seeing the buildings. The public is over there and it's open to people to just come on in and watch. I remember hitting a sled for the first time in front of like a bunch of dudes just drinking beer and enjoying. And how cool it was to watch NFL players practice and like even growing up for us. That was one of the only things we saw from the Browns. We went to like a training camp. Because it was so hard to get tickets. So it's like you're forced to spend time around your teammates and like. Is it a little bit different now because there's like phones and people bring laptops and computers where like it's still kind of. Like disassociate. Yes, but it definitely forces you to be together a little bit more. And I don't know. I always enjoyed that aspect of going to like one of these colleges. So the stuff that I've enjoyed is watching the big Yeti. Like making some awesome moves and catches like there's been some playing some good old ball, baby. There's some been some really good clips of you going up and getting the ball, putting a little huh, a little. A little. Oh, so just so you know, this is one thing. I liked watching this because you're my brother and I thought it was great. I cannot stand when teams put these clips online. Because for every. That's what I'm saying. The Eagles do it too. And like I love the field of Eagles and I love watching the clips, but like. Like they put out a clip of like Jalen Carter beaten the shit out of like a guy who's trying his hardest to make the team. It's like, dude, can we just like. Let practice be its own thing. We don't need to show everything like. Yeah, but I mean, that's the media is going to run with what they can get a hold of. Yeah. You're right. And it's open practice. So there's no point even holding it back. That's just one thing. Like to me, if there's one safe space that a guy should feel good, but like. Hey, I'm going to try this new thing in like, it might not work out, but I'm going to try it in practice because it's not a game. And then all of a sudden, it's basically the old done and up, done enough, but worse. Because now it lives forever on social media and whatever. But it wasn't all good. It did start off with a lot of. I mean, the only way I could describe it is fat shaming my brother. Internet. And sometimes you got to have, you know, some extra. I was listening to the good. Yeah, don't say those sourdough. Yeah, baby. Everyone's where we were in a world there for a little bit where they were saying fat is bad. Fat is bad. Just saying man. Sometimes. No fact. It could be good too. What's crazy is it. Hey, I it's gotten so good. It was hard to tell cycling through those photos. Like what is the real. That is Travis. Man, Travis. That's fat. Yeah, I saw it last week. He looked way better than that. He really had a hell weekend. He's been wearing baggy shirts lately. So maybe that's it. Even the route right there where I, where I be Gilman, who's a great player. And he got me a lot of the times and came to you know, you don't see everything. Yeah, that's out there. They just saw how slow that route was. And what they don't realize is that that route is based off of a hundred other routes that I've ran that that camp. And I'm setting up that mover. I'm trying to entice that move. And I'm going so slow. It's like I'm feeding you what you what you want to try and jump the the route that you think I'm going to run. Exactly. Exactly. And it's with the pace. Man, that shit was so fucking funny reading some of these comments on that clip going viral. And then obviously the the fat shaming and saying that I got a dad body. It's all social media just having fun. And I even laugh at this. I mean, it's fucking pure comedy. Well, Andy was quick to have your back. He's like, everybody say Travis Kelsey is a dad, but he isn't good shape. And I noticed that. Thanks coach. Yeah. And listen, if there's one person that wouldn't say that, like, if that wasn't true, there's no chance Andy saying that, which. But I think, um, yeah, I know you put another years of I've came in way fatter than I am this year for sure. Yes. Yeah. This is. We're we're doing good so far. I was actually what's that's so funny, the difference are our positions. I was actually encouraged to be fat going into training camp. Kelsey, we know you're going to lose like 10 pounds of training camp. Please come in a little fatter. We need you to be fat. Um, let's get to some questions. The chief sense want to know, how's Pat doing? Oh, patting my homes, man. He's out there slinging the ball, man. I'll tell you what, I would say practice, it doesn't matter if your quarterback is coming off of injury or not, he's got on the special jersey, you got to stay away from the QB. A lot of the season is dictated on how good that quarterback plays, and that's every team at every level, which is why there's that golden rule don't touch the quarterback, don't hit the quarterback, because that's the guy that's gonna help catapult your team into victory in a lot of different ways. And he's the most important position in football. That being said, that being said. Here comes the caveat. That being said, Pat looks fucking awesome right now. Right. I think right now he's on top of the reads, he's getting the ball out, he's anytime he does get out of the pocket, he's making great throws, and I think it's gonna take getting in there and feeling the bullets flying for him to feel comfortable and what he's doing, and it's our job this is teammates to make sure he feels comfortable, whenever that opportunity comes. Are there things that you guys do to try and replicate? 'Cause that's a huge part of Pat's game is being able to move and throw on the run and be creative like that. Pat and the trainers that he's worked with in the building and his QB coaches that he works with in the building as well as outside of the building have done everything they possibly can to be able to simulate those kind of throws. And he's done an unbelievable job at getting himself to this point. I could see the hard work starting just weeks after the surgery that he had last year. And I could see the determination, I could see the frustration in his mind that it got to this point this year. And you know, that's a huge reason why I'm still playing the game 'cause I know that guy, I wanna be there for that guy in every aspect of the game. And I think that's exciting coming into the year when you get a fresh start and we're a motivated group, baby. - You're not just returning with Pat at my home but you're also returning with a new old offensive coordinator or former offensive coordinator for the kidney chiefs and that is Eric B. Enemy. What has it been like having EB back in the building? - It's a breath of fucking fresh air, man. I just love it, man. There's a, there's, and this has nothing to do with who was on the staff last year. It's just what B. Enemy brings to the table and how he goes about it, man. And he's holding everybody accountable, me included. He's gotten on my ass a few times. Got me going on days that I needed it and I love him for it. And if you take the right mentality with the coach like this knowing that his intentions are to make this team the greatest team he could possibly make it and sometimes that comes with uncomfortable talks and uncomfortable interactions. And as long as you know that where his intentions are and you don't, you know, you don't take things the wrong way or when you're feeling shitty, you don't let those negative emotions get to you and you take coaching the right way. Man alive, you could see some of this kind of culture change back into what it was. And we need to keep working on that. It's not a fixed thing right now. It's a year long thing and we're gonna have ups and downs on the season where I'm sure everybody will need some sort of accountability to be held in that room. You know, whatever room they're in, if that makes sense. Just from who he is, you know, I've known him for 14 years now and I know his intentions. I know what he brings to the table and I'm fucking fired up to have him back in the building, man. - What he brings from like a disciplinary leadership like, you know, telling how it is like kind of coach and you're like, are happy to have that voice back? Is there another part of it that like the thing I'm excited about is I think in the NFL today like everybody plays this shell or at least they start in like this like two deep safety look and roll late. Like most of the best offenses have an established run game and I think E.B. being a former running back does he bring an edge of like a mentality and also like a knowledge of that part of the game that I think you guys could benefit from? - Yeah, I think we all know that old ball coach that will tell you that we got to run it down this motherfuckers face and there's the mentality that comes with that. There's a there's a if you say that every day that we put on pads and then you call the plays where we have to literally run it through a motherfuckers face. You start to create a fucking mentality and a mindset that I have no other option other than run through this motherfuckers face. - He's told it's 10 times now. - That's what I'm saying. So you so you start to incorporate that and it starts to become who you are and then you become trained in that regard. So that is the fourth quarter of week 10 when this team has seen this play not only twice this game but 10 other games that you've already played and they know it's coming because you're in the same formation and you're doing the same motion. You're gonna be ready to run it through this motherfuckers face. And I think that's something that you can't, you don't get out of just anybody. You need somebody that has that authority that has that discipline in them, that has that ability to not only be relatable to you and motivating to you but to be able to get that out of you when it's not easy to do that. And that's something that EB has always been unbelievable. - Well, part of running it through a motherfuckers face is having the guy that can run it through your fucking face and you guys got one of those. - We got a few, we got a few, we got a few, you've had a few in the past too. - I agree, we're gonna run that shit through a motherfuckers face. - This in pop, like, I mean, those feet would be churned. Either way, you got a really special one now. Kenneth Walker comes in, fresh off the Super Bowl run. What has it been like at practice watching him? What does he bring to the Chiefs this year? - I'll tell you what, man, he brings leadership right away. - I was not thinking you were gonna go there first. Okay, all right. - First thing I saw was his leadership on how he approached practice. His practice habits were second to none. I mean, this guy finishes every fucking play like it is a game situation. Every time he touches the ball, it is a game tempo. It is a game alert, like attention to detail and how he does that, you can't look at him and be like, "Oh, man, you have to match that energy." Every time you touch the ball, or you're just gonna feel like you're not living up to that expectation of how we do things. And for him to be one of our biggest weapons right now, and the guy that is gonna get the majority that carries throughout the season, and for him to practice like that says a lot about who he is as a person, and how he likes to attack his job and how professionally is. And then you see what he does with the football in his hands. And you're just like, "Oh yeah, this guy is as special as it gets in the running back room, both in the run game and the past game." We got the box situated with Kenneth Walker yourself, Pat. What's going on out at the receiver position is one of the things I'm waiting to see what happens. Obviously, where she writes has been really, really good. The guy I'm excited to watch, I mean, I've been worthy from last year. You got a number of them guys. But the guy I'm really excited to watch is Cyrus Allen. Out of Cincinnati. - Oh nice, man, give her a little bear kind of thing. - Yeah, come on now, let's go. - Cyrus Allen. - I've been here good things. I've been here good things. Steve Smith went on the record, very good receiver himself, as Cyrus Allen is going to eventually be in my humble opinion, the number one wide receiver. - I'll tell you what, that's saying a lot. From Steve, if you're here and that, from Steve Smith, man, you're fucking, you're open in some eyes at Traini Camping. You know, he got a little banged up early on, so he's getting back off of, you know, he's getting back into the swing of things. But man, when he's healthy and when we're rolling man, he is a dog. And it's fun to watch him just kind of play free. And that's the biggest thing as a young guy is just being able to go out there and play free. You know, I think about all the little things and all the notes and the detail that the coaches are stressing. And it'll get easier for him as we get a complete game plan for an entire week. And he can just focus on that game plan. I mean, there's a lot, there's a fucking, there's so many plays that you're just getting thrown at you and so many details in there. They all conflict each other at times, especially towards the end of camp. - Especially the defense like Spags, who's gonna be being multiple and doing all sorts of different things as well, yeah. - Exactly. So everything's gonna get a lot easier mentally going into week one. And I'm excited for him to be able to, you know, get back to playing free and get back to just going out there and playing football, man. But he is an absolute weapon. And you hear that from everybody in the building. Anybody that's been to camp has seen him make an unbelievable catches. And his routes are, he has his own unique feel to running routes. And when you have a guy that understands that naturally, man, it's a special thing, man. We're gonna have unbelievable wide-out room though. I mean, I thought I have huge expectations that Xavier worthy is gonna take that next step and take it a step further in terms of his ability to get on. - He's got the explosive ability. - No doubt. - Listen, the athleticism is second to none in the league. And when you see how he, how he trains his mind through practice, a huge shout out to Coach O'Shea, our new wide receiver coach coming in and being able to give him a little taste of, you know, just, you know, what he knows and helping him understand some things as well. And right now the receiver room with those two, Rishi, Taekwam Thorden. I mean, we got some guys that can go up top and some guys that can rock you up for sure. That covers the offense. How spags looking? How's the defense looking? - Still cold is always gonna be Chris Jones, man. He's gonna be the fucking anchor and the guy may just create an havoc in the middle of the field, but he's got another just absolute dog. [BLANK_AUDIO] He's a rookie. Peter Woods. He's a rookie, but he's got an absolute dog in the run game and this game man This guy's he's he's violent violent hands and he might not have the six five frame that Chris Jones has man But he's he's he's fine and ways to leverage his ability his feet his understanding of football He seems like he's always a step ahead of where the ball is going and then on top of that man He's a force so I'm excited for Peter Woods on top of that the outside everyone's seen our Mason Thomas get to the quarterback a little bit here in the preseason shown his athleticism his ability to you know get to the QB or just create Have it himself and our our first overall pick Delane is gonna is he's gonna be a perfect piece for spags To be able to use out there on the edge of corner A guy that's willing to come down and and shoot his gun in the run game as well as one of that most athletic DBs. I've seen it a long time out there So defense seems to be primed offense seems to be primed and I'm excited to go into this season with the the pieces that we got Baby, I'm excited to because Monday night football, baby. That's right. The chiefs open the regular season on Monday night football So I get to come watch against the Denver Broncos. I got to ask It is the one topic everybody. I think it's been all but confirmed But I will ask you knowing that Andy loves when players comment on other players injuries Is Pat going to start game one? It's a good question. All right, we'll move on. We'll move on. We'll move on. Great question. All right, Jason We talked about some chiefs camp. Let's talk some Eagles. Brolar Philly listeners and Everybody interested in with the old gang green has got going on out there and Everyone saw coach Kels out there first off coach Kels. Maybe it's it's only a matter of time Jason Just puts on the old aviators the old sweater get some slacks on and wait It's footage for me Talking to Kim dragons looks like. Oh, yeah, nice nice nice. I was like I thought you that was you back in pads with the Jersey rolled up I'm like I did rock the same look as cam does yeah, sure. Yeah, that's that's a banger. I was a big back at camp and Being on being around the locker room and the guys. Yeah, I mean, I I just love being at training camp I don't know what it is. It's like the energy of it. There's a lot of guys trying to realize their dream There's excitement for the season and I felt the same way going to your guys one practice that I went to like I mean even just watching 9 on 7 drill and hearing the grunts like I just like for so Man, this is like I'm like getting goosebumps hearing men grunt It was great. And obviously, you know Next year I'm still there. There's still a lot of continuity there But there is a new offense there's a new offensive line coach. Obviously Jeff Stoutland stepped down So I was just curious to see how they're doing things like I kind of I want to continue learning about the game That's my selfish reason for being able to go down there and take advantage of like trying to you know This offense that they're running now with manion has been something that has spread across the NFL for a reason that it's really successful and really good and But something that I never played in so get to go down there learn a little bit of it Obviously I wasn't down there a ton so I didn't get to learn like everything But it was cool and then obviously Cooper the new offensive line coach coach coupe Here and how they teach things the different techniques in this type of system all that stuff and then Being able to help guys in any way I could which was you know Not as much as I would want to be like I would be awesome to be out there every day like there is something that's great about being on a field with guys and Seeing the progress, right seeing a guy like will you like will you like I mean I know we already got it in the rundown But I mean to the guys like 511 like there's no way he should be able to play in the NFL and to see like how he uses the sips how he uses his feet The energy and effort that he plays with like I I love watching that I love being around my former teammates, you know cam and and and and and Dickerson and Melada and Lane and steam Yeah, it's just it's awesome to be out there Very much a privilege to be out there with those guys when I can and it was It was fun. It was a great time. Hell yeah. Well Eagles posted a clip from Jalen Hertz point of view Why don't we go ahead and play a little bit of this? So they got these cameras on the quarterbacks head now to see how he's Using his eyes and to see what he's seeing. Yeah, and this would viral and I think it shocked a lot of people Like what the perspective is from the quarterback position, which I don't I'd be curious I didn't ask Jalen this but I'd be curious as Jalen or Pat or any quarterback like how accurate is this to like what you see like It's very accurate, but don't you see more peripheral like it feels like of course Yeah, the cameras shut off from there, but in terms of like looking forward and trying to see through human beings to see the human beings beyond them like that That was very yeah, that was I thought it was pretty cool. I don't know if you can necessarily get like better like Understanding from it. You know what I mean? Like I don't know how it helps you become better From that point of view more than like just watching it from like the sky view I think the sky view tells you more and you can see things more clear and things like that I think it's I think it's definitely a cool view for like anybody see the point of like To see that perspective. I think it's I think it's a cool thing in terms of like social stuff But yeah, I don't actually know what they use that camera. I know that they're doing more progression stuff So I would imagine they probably use it for like making sure your eyes are in the right place to start the play And to go there's so much to the eye like you said the peripheral like I can see here and I'm feeling everything over here Like it's like yeah, there's so much in terms of your vision that you're and and what you're doing pre-snap that You you're reasoning for why you're doing what you're doing with the ball You know what I mean? So it's yep either way. It's that was a cool ass clip to see for sure Especially yeah, I mean when you see the guy, you know throw it to a guy coming out of the screen You're coming into the screen like how do you see that guy? Well, he anticipated him being there. It is part of the play Yeah, yeah, I got you And it was it was cool seeing I think a lot of people appreciate how hard it is to play that position and like how much you're anticipating and like doing things that really a lot of times a quarter probably isn't seeing fully right like you're You're seeing with your eyes. You're but you're seeing a lot and you're anticipating what you know Everybody's gonna be the timing which you're gonna be there utilizing that combined with your footwork and everything and it's just There's a lot to that position and it's really hard and it's always good to see fans understand it. It's fucking hard Especially that one We talk about a few of your Eagles 20 camp favorites. We just talked about Willie Lampkin man. I guess 5/11 Smallest lineman in the NFL You've tweeted about it. There's the obviously the highlight for the Ravens Yeah, and he did it last year this kid's been the same kid nothing's changed You know obviously he's getting older and he's gonna get better with technique and like aiming points and things like that But the last year he was a dog and that's why the Eagles claimed him from the from the ramps, right? Like Brian Baldinger was pointing out clips last offseason online and I'm like, dude this kid is a beast Like I just whenever somebody finishes it's something that I think stands out I tell rookies this every year rookies come up to me like man How do I make the team like I just want to like what do I do and like dude? You got to stand out you got to do something and everybody stands out in their own unique way Like I don't know what your traits are if you're really smart Maybe you'll stand out in the meeting or maybe if you're real stronger stand on the way room Maybe for real like a really good like technique player that'll show up on film the one thing that it shows up with everybody is your effort And you can control if you finish harder than everybody else That stands out to coaches and they love it and every time they see it on tape They're gonna notice it and they're gonna be like man that dude wants it He what he loves the game. He loves to compete and like Does it annoy teammates at times? Yeah, of course, right? But that's dude. This is part of it Like you know, you can't brother-in-law everything and I just I like I dig the kids mentality is a wrestler Everything about him says that he shouldn't be able to play in the NFL if somebody came up to me and like hey I got a son that's 5/11 he has aspirations of playing the NFL before Willie Lamkin I would have said you know, he probably should be happy playing college football, right? Yeah, I mean the re the chance I don't know The last time this has happened and not only is he playing it, but he is stout He plays it at a high level Every time he gets an opportunity to show it and It's one of those where like every time a coach like what do you think of Willie Lamkin? Well, I mean he's he's a really good player But like the size is gonna come up and it's gonna rear its head and it continually doesn't even when he's playing guys like Jordan Davis and the Jalen Carter's who are massively Like more gifted than he am in size and I just you know I like anybody and respect anybody that can overcome odds like that and be a special player now He hasn't done it and like a starting sense yet like still waiting to see what that would look like if that does happen But just so happy To see and that's type of effort in person is infectious. That's the other thing I think I just love that he's filled up the eagle because I think he represents what being an eagle is important and why it's awesome That's awesome, man. They got a great room. Obviously the five starters excited with cam Landon steen steen has had a fantastic training camp going up against one of them the best like defensive lineman every single day in Jalen Carter in the NFL. And he has battled his ass off. I think he's looked outstanding. Lane is obviously back. Jordan Malata can't wait to see what this run game and system looks like underneath a lot of the outside zone boots like play actions. It's it was it was a very fun camp to be a part of and watching. And a lot of other guys should out to appoint not Willie just because that was a guy that I asked about that too. I'm also going to ask you about a guy that just announced this probably his last year, which is a big lane Johnson six five big lane Johnson man say it ain't so lame. You can keep going baby. Yeah, I mean, I think one of the one of the best guys that I haven't the on the in an organization for as long as he's been there. Let alone one of the best guys out there on the football field this year. Yeah, it's going to be Lane Johnson. It's it feels good that Lane is finally at least locally. I don't even think it's still happening nationally being appreciated for how unbelievably dominant he's been in the NFL. Yeah, but I you know, listen, I made a bunch of all pros, right? Because I'm I played the center position. And most people couldn't even name 30 centers in the NFL outside of their starter and maybe one other, right? Like most NFL fans. So like I played a position where there's not a lot of notoriety in most of the guys in the league. And Lane is playing a position where people are drafting first row picks every year. And there's big names at it at the tackle position. At least for the offense line, obviously different than like skill positions, but like the most notable player on almost everybody's offense line is a tackle. So I just feel like he he hasn't had like the notoriety of being the best pass blocking tackle in the NFL because he fights some of these political things of like first row picks and stuff like that. But like if you look at every metric and like being on an island, dropback pass, how long quarterbacks hold onto the ball, all that stuff, nobody's really done it at a better level from a past protection standpoint that Lane Johnson. Do you press play on that fucking film? You're going to see how good Lane Johnson is dog. So I'm happy that it's finally being recognized. I'm happy that, you know, if this is his last year, I know he said it's his last year, but listen, you have some success and maybe feel pretty good. But regardless, he's had an incredible career. Can't wait to see the year that he has. And, you know, it's just he's been such a phenomenal player and person in that building. Oh, yeah. You know, he was an incredible teammate to me. So, you know, excited to watch Lane in his last run. No doubt about it. Fuck yeah. Any of the skill positions stand out to you this year in training camp? I mean, all the ones that you know are great. I mean, we got the opportunity to look at a lot of the receivers in the, like, you know, Davante Smith was hurt for a large portion of training camp, as well as McKay Lemon. So we got to see Darius Cooper, another undrafted guy, I ended up making the roster, like have a really good training camp. We got to see Don Tavion. Is it Don Tavion in Don Tare. I'm a 13. Good. He's a beast. I was like, where the fuck did that guy come from? Oh, so he was in green Bay. He was in green Bay. Yeah. He was in green Bay. And he came to Philly and you had some success in green Bay too. So everybody coming out of green Bay was like, this dude's actually like a player, like he's a baller. And then he got to Philly. And even at OTAs guys like, yo, this dude could play, right? And then he goes on and shows it for a lot of training camp as well, like very, very skilled player. So there's a lot of depth at the receiver position now. Obviously, everybody saw him on McKay Lemon. Didn't have the best first preseason game. I mean, it's one fucking preseason game. He's like, can we not? He didn't even practice for all the training camp. Let's let the kid have a fucking like season. Yeah, exactly. So regardless, I think, you know, they have really, really good skill position players, say, Juan Barclay's back, the tight end room. They've grown it, right? Like Dallas got it now. They got the Johnny Munt guy who's a block here. Like, well, fucking put his face into people. I'm excited to see what this offense looks like. I'm excited to see a new under center more motions, more shifts, more formations. And what the Eagles are going to do because they've been saying they've been holding back a lot in the preseason, right? They don't want to tip off. It's their competitive advantage to not show that until the season games start rolling around. So I can't wait to see what this thing is actually going to look like. How Sean Manion is, how Jalen Hertz does in a new system like this? The defense is, I mean, they've been pretty damn good already. So all right. Yeah, they got some pretty good players over there. Pretty good coach, pretty good players. All right, let's get this thing moving. Other big news in the NFL, Aaron Donald is officially back with the Rams after taking two years, two years to walk away from the game, kind of who knows, maybe recharge, maybe really think about retirement and maybe never playing again to all the sudden Miles Garrett is a part of the defensive line room. And it's looking like there's a lot more reasons to come back, I guess. I don't know. It's been pretty cool to follow along the what the Rams have got going out there. A lot of big name guys, man, I know they got my guy Trent McDuffy out there and really just, you know, look like a veteran team with a lot of proven proven all stars, man. Yeah, I mean, the last time the Rams went out and acquired a super team. They won a super bowl, right? Like that happened. That's scabby. They spent a bunch of money for it. And they had to kind of, it took some time to rebuild the ability to build another super team, but they've done it again. Not only super team, they've taken the best two physical specimen defense alignment of my era football. And then like they still have like Kobe Turner was a great player for them last year. A really good three technique. Byron is it byron young on the outside and then Fisk. Those guys run games really well. So like I start to think about how they're going to utilize all five of these guys. Pune for great run stopper. I don't know how much of the third down he's going to see with these kind of horses, but I know you Puna. You're you're fucking awesome. Respect the shit out of your game. Anyways, I start thinking of like what do you do to do this? Because and people are like, Oh, like AD like we got to get kale center. Guys, I didn't do shit against Aaron Donnelly. He was a three technique. All I did was literally slide and help the guard. That's what I did. We double team him every fucking snap. We did not leave him one-on-one. I never played another game. Chris Jones was the only other detack really that we played where we're like, Hey, we got to make sure we're limiting his one-on-one reps. And it was even magnified where like the only time we didn't double team, it was like a five-man protection was like, I'm sorry guys. Like I can't I got to go over. Yeah, I'm like if the quarterbacks hide over here were fucked. So I got to go this way. Like even if it was a five-man, like picture this chest, five big guys, right? Six-man protection with the running back. Every team in America against any other team, you're making a five-o call or a poker, like the five off its line. We're going to block the five big guys. Yeah. We said, fuck that. We're sliding there. And the huddle like back. You got the Sam. You got 275 pounds. Sam. Because that's an easier match up this week. That's crazy. So like this is the reality of like what we went through and how we changed our protections throughout this week. And to be honest, like Wade Phillips, like Staley, uh, he Moser, they didn't do a lot of blitzes off of that to make you worried about not doubling Aaron. If I'm Shula, I'm bringing four away from AD, four away from miles to make the quarterback and center, like respect and just do a little bit of it. You don't need to do a lot. Just sprinkle it in one or two times a game. Bring, bring a fire zone over here. That makes me like, oh, shit, I can't just double Aaron. I can't just do that. Yeah. So I, I'll be very curious. Are they going to put them on the same side, fisc and young run games on the other side? Are they going to put them both inside? They got them. I want to see them nowadays. You got to do a little bit, a little bit of everything. The bottom line is when you, when you get ready to play really good players, you try to limit the one on one opportunities, right? So you slide to an interior player. If you got a great edge player, you can try and slide to them. Sometimes that's hard when there's a three technique to get out there to help the tackle. So you, you put chips and slams. All of these things really bogged down what you want to do offensively. It makes you alter what you want to do. Like, the best thing you can do against a premier adressor like Miles Garrett is to put a tight end in front of them and to chip them because his get off is so good. Make him a little bit slower off the ball. Now, all of a sudden, the tight end is slower into his route. We're losing another guy out there. It's, it just, it, it gunks everything up, but it's things that you have to do. If I'm getting ready for these guys, I'm still trying to double Aaron. I'm building all the play actions in where I'm getting a double on Aaron and trying to get a double on Miles as often as I can. I'm putting in cut pros. I'm putting in screens. I'm putting in cracks. Anything I can to try and get in these dudes head and all of that happens and it ends up, you realize after you try and do all this, that, oh, man, they're not who we are. So it's, it's, it is so hard. I can't fucking wait to watch this. I really cannot. Yeah. And listen to you. We get it first game. First game. First game. Los Angeles Rams. You guys are playing 49. No, we get to see it as a fan. We all get to see it. Yeah. I'm a fan for sorry. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't get to see it till Christmas. Yeah. And he was good to see it week four. And listen, we don't back down from anybody. But I can't wait to watch this. I'm, I'm looking as an offensive line, defensive line. No. I love playing the best. I want to fucking play the best. Oh my gosh. I might do some tape. Bring it in. Should we do some tape breakdown of what, how we used to, it was the easiest game plan ever. Where's 99? I don't know. I'm going that way. What if they're blitzin over there? That would always be the fun one. We're going into the meeting. And it's like, all right, Kelsey. Here's the game plan. I know that. All right. Yeah. I'm going to slide to 99. I don't give a fuck what the, what you all are talking about. But if you want something else, you're going to put a different guy in the center. I'm going over here. Because this guard is shitting down his leg and we're not going to let this guy ruin the fucking game. And then Aaron's in the middle of the game. He's like, Oh, Kelsey. Why? Yeah. Stop double with me. I'm going to get over there. I'm not a gibberish, I'm not a gibberish by the time it came out. out that you were going to the course and going to American Century, we were already done recording. So I couldn't say that there was a asterish about this entire bet, because you were injured. - Aster, yeah, you were injured. - No, no, no, I would have, I would have claimed that before and I never claimed that a day of, listen, I'm not trying to bet. - You never did, but I was the one like, this seems like an unfair bet at this point. Like, it's a fair bet if you're going in full strength and you want to wish upon a star that you'll be able to get into the positive. - Travis, I was minus 34. It doesn't matter if my hand was up. Let's not make excuses. - This is what I was trying to tell you. - I'm going to be the positive. - We'll get just, just get ready because I'm making the same fucking bet next year. I'm going to be in the goddamn positive up in Tahoe and I lost this one and I'm going to pay the price, but I don't know when should I do it as a question. Am I doing it next week? What episode would you like me to be blue at? This is your oyster that we're living in. It's not up to the 90% of you. I lost the bet to Travis Kelsey. I thought it might be fun to be blue at Tahoe, but I also think it'd be funny. - I'd be sweating and-- - Well, I'm fine with that.

It's whatever you want, whatever you want to say. - We'll figure this out outside of this conversation. You are doing it, you are a man of your word, and we're going to keep it a fun surprise for everybody on the show. We'll find a perfect time for me to make Jason have to answer this, his bets. - All right, that'll be fun. At least I'm not ripping off a speedone, being labeled things on the internet.

(upbeat music) - Whoa, $30 a month this year, how about that? - Only for new users. - Good point. Who picks the multi-view in the Kelsey household? I would say I'm usually in charge of what we're watching for NFL games. I don't get to be in charge a lot in terms of what we're watching, but I do get granted. Part of it's because it's my job. - Yeah, it's your job, you gotta know, yeah, sorry. - I gotta be on the desk, I need to watch. - I gotta know what I'm talking about. - These games in particular are gonna be the ones we're gonna talk about, so I need to watch. - Wow, my kid's screaming at me.

(upbeat music) - A lot of the things that I dislike about modern Disney movies music is everybody is really tried to hop on the Hamilton vibe, which is like very like descriptive of the song and the song, like it's like telling you what's happening word for word rather than being an overarching, like somatic of the movie. - It's very direct. It's a very direct lyricist, yes. - It works really well for Hamilton, and I'm not like trying to like far be it for me to not limit well, but it's not my, I just don't like that kind of music in Disney films. I like when like the music stands out like without really even needing to see the film. It's almost like- - The emotional motivation you're lyrics. - Let's get down to business. (laughing) - No! (laughing) - How about you, Shemana? - Uh-huh. - Uh-huh. (laughing) - To defeat the heart. - Ooh. That one's a banger.
