on Chris Simms unbutton.
It is time for buy or sell presented by eBay. Motors,
welcome to the family eBay mom. What's up? EBay Motors, nice to
have you. It's awesome.
Hey babe Motors will see.
I said that, I said that wrong. All right, that was that was
true. It was just kind of like what's that was almost flirty.
Yeah we don't need to flip. I've been known to be flirty
before
I have been called that
since so what so what we'll do here? Thanks to eBay Motors.
It's a segment where we'll take a narrative. Yeah.
Yeah. And we'll either
buy it or we'll sell it. Yeah. Like are you buying this
narrative or are you selling it? Which I think often times
you do but we'll see if that holds true in s in lot of
narratives right now. Right around the league for sure. So
one that
is affecting multiple teams out there
is fighting and training camps and the narrative that's out
there. Right now, from a lot of coaches is seems is that
a certain amount of fighting is actually very bad. I think
four years, it's like odds. Good get the juices flowing
shows competitive Spirit, but we're seeing more and more
training camps right now Coaches saying that fighting is
not great at, we've heard it from your guy. Kyle, Shanahan
that says he wants irritants, not Fighters
and then specifically with the Saints, Trevor Penning
was kicked out of practice last week, for starting a fight for
the third straight day. I think we got some video that if
you're watching on that new YouTube page or on peacock as
well, so three days in a row
and and Dennis Allen was not was not happy about that. From
the rookie from Northern Iowa, he was very upset,
so you can't have that
is is going crazy if you're watching it.
Uh-huh. He saw, I love his. I love his quote to
his favorite thing about football. Did you see that?
There he legally, assaulting the guy across from me. Yeah,
yeah that's say that it's the only time in life, it's legal
to actually assault a guy so you might as well take
advantage of it.
So yeah, what do you think? Yeah. What do you think? I'm
gonna sell that narrative that. It's a bad thing. Listen, you
know, everything's got, you know, different compartments
that we could dive into. And of course we don't want melees
broking breaking out and
guys getting hurt.
But I Say from my own personal experience may be the best
teams I were ever on.
We're chippy and there was fights in training camp,
the 2008 Tennessee, Titans number one seed in the AFC playoffs
that year. I was never a part of a team that fought more and
we had a tackle,
we had a lot of offensive, lineman just like a Trevor
Penning who were always starting fights and doing that
type of thing. You did there was a guy who started 13 days
in a row. Well, maybe not
three days in a row but maybe two or three times a week for
sure. Yes. And in that, not that they always got. Into this
huge team fight but you know, added some juice to
the practice, made it more competitive and that's where,
I think there's a lot of good to it, you know.
Again, I know there's a line that we don't want to cross,
but the teams that I were on that never fought or never did
anything, man. They just never seemed to have any life on
the football field in the regular season either. And then I, you
know, the season got over and I just fellow man. We didn't have
a lot of guys, maybe that we're totally invested or cared
the way. They should
the the team I was on, right? My rookie year,
the 2003 Tampa Bay.
Years after they won the Super Bowl, you want to talk about
a chippy Bunch? What that crew right there? I mean did you
don't think there was a little scuffle or fight every day in
practice? You're crazy, we had a bunch of crazy guys on that
defense.
And then the offense had to try to, you know, match that
intensity and slow them down. So to me, I find that to be
a good thing again. I know there's a line that you don't
want to cross here. I get that. I'm not trying to take both
sides here,
but usually, it is the teams that have a lot of
weight. We got a lot of alpha physical, you know, you're not
going to. Beat me on any play today, type of guys and then
their coach like that to to do. Let's not be bullied by
anybody. You know, let's pedal to the metal, let's play that
way and even being in New England as a, you know,
an assistant coach and all that,
you know, there was a chippy team there to
you don't think Tom, Brady's, a little chippy. We know he is in
a lot of other guys as well. So, I look at it more, as
a positive thing, you know, than a negative thing. I'd be more
worried. If men,
we didn't have one fight all training camp and everything
was good. I'd go. Well, I I'm not sure you guys will be all
that good this year during the season. I get that note.
I don't take too much fighting than no fight. Exactly. I would
if you gave me one of the other, I'd rather have too much
than yes the other
way around. How about how about a coach fighting a player goal
Giants head that in practice their offensive line coach,
Bobby Johnson is a great one, pushing the linebacker cam
Brown downright, Brian de Vos said, sometimes that happens.
But in no way to be condoned that
so they didn't, like, they didn't like that. When it was
started by this, hit by say Quan Berkeley, so I guess
here's say, Cointreau,
f****** defensive back, Erin Robinson, write what, you know,
he lowers the pads, he's coming in, you know, kind of hot. And
I don't think he liked necessarily like
you know, you're looking for thuds at this type of practice,
you know, egos get a get get bothered by this look. And as
you could see, you know, Robinson's a little bit like
not looking good on social media with this type of thing.
Looks like he
was letting up a little bit or he wasn't going to tackle him
full steam. Exactly. Well there he's no, he can't tackle
the running back. He's probably just got a thud, right? And
that kind of, you know, emulate The Tackle. Give them a thud
and get off. But what happens sometimes is like your sake One
Berkeley, you're going through the
whole a million miles per hour and there's a lot of people on
you that you don't run physical enough and you don't run hard
enough. And so you're trying to run hard and you're not
intending to run anybody over.
But you're making cuts at full speed and you make a cut and
you go, oh gosh, there's a guy there and I'm I can't slow down
in time so let me just lower it and that's what starts. Now
I will say with the coaching thing
that is one you don't see very often. Yeah. And I would say in
the locker room and and I think Bobby Johnson is alluded to
this already Eddie as far as the old line coach that this is
coaches aren't supposed to cross. That line, coaches
aren't supposed to take sides, coaches, little ones get in.
Try to separate it, do that, you know,
it's because the player can't fight back against the coach
and that's where it's a little unfair that way. And I think,
you know, he knew he crossed the, you know, one of those
Unwritten rules or code of honor in the NFL where
you know again we know most of the guys in the team could
probably whip coach Johnson's but and there he was getting in
a, you know, a few licks and pushes their
A little bit. So, that is one where you would rather,
actually have no coaches fighting the team than too much
coaches fighting, you know, the other coaches. Yes, the coach
has got to be the people that come in and are the cooler
heads prevail type of
people. The good thing about this though, is it at least
produced a picture of funny a meme that's alternate. Now, if
you're watching this again, John Feliciano being dragged
away from the fight is by belly. Hanging out my
new helmet that newfangled helmet that they're wearing
the padding over the helmet, right? Right. It is he is he grabbing
the A jersey or the head thing. It looks like he's grabbing
that damn head pad. I think we can make something better head
happy. Thanks. Yeah,
but I love like Daniel Jones, just standing over him to like
what the hell is going on here?
Let's all that only looks almost dead. I'm sure. And this
is what's good about football and great about these type of
situations and is that
I would bet later that day.
Team meeting that night, maybe the next morning
that they showed some of those pictures Navy and like they
have some fun with it. And that's how you bring it back
together. Hey, it's I know we're all out here. Fighting
we're all out here, tired.
You know, we talk about this every year. You get sick of
seeing
the same guy in front of you every day.
Yes. And he started to learn your moves and nuances and
you've learned his moves and nuances and you know, yours
a day where you're tired or they're telling you not to go
to full speed and that jerks going full speed
and Just part of it. But again, like I said, I'd rather see too
many fights and no fights at all last thing for me. Yeah,
did the does
the offense always end up hitting the defense and vice versa
or do they make up after training? Know they make up,
they do they it's definitely one of those things. I really
think it's actually your, at the end of the hate period
of the defense and offense. Whatever is your on
the opposite side of because now we're going to start getting
into preseason football. There's going to be limited
practices that are going to be quite as intense anymore.
And the monotony is finally going to get broken up, you're
gonna have a day off after the preseason game, you know,
the day before the preseason games going to be an easy day and
a walkthrough. And then, of course,
you know, for a lot of the veterans, the preseason game
themselves, just going to be easy, it's going to be a go out
there and warm up, right? So that'll change the attitude of
training camp. There's light at the end of the tunnel. When
the preseason
game gets here truck.
Oh, I used to be like, oh gosh, there's a preseason game
finally.
Yeah, thank God. Holy cow. Means we're getting to the end
and we can play somebody else.
And you know, Gruden or whoever's not going to
micromanage me to death in practice and I can just go out
and play some football
and I think that's
always a positive for the player. You don't have to fight
anyone anymore. I just like the way your boxing gloves, and go
go play a game so that was buyer sell presented by eBay
