Washington made a surprise move yesterday when they cut sixth round draft pick Kaytron Allen. Why?
Transcript
00:00every move that's made by this football team is not extreme okay they released
00:07katron allen yesterday and i've known the kid since he was in at img and i and i want him
00:15to
00:15be around i want him to be successful in this league but when you start thinking about it
00:20how many people think about it look yourself in the mirror how many people really believe when
00:27you draft somebody in the sixth round they're going to come to the team and they're going to
00:30make a hell of a difference because i listen around here and all people care about is the
00:35first and second rounders but as soon as somebody released one we always act like it's the end of
00:41the world and i believe that this move was a move because it's not just about you know we're going
00:48to release katron this is the move to make something else happen and i saw jp posted he had me
00:54text he
00:54said he'll probably end up back on the practice squad i believe that and i believe you can get
00:59him back on the practice squad and you could begin to do the up and down thing with them
01:03because as soon as they say those three guys are eligible and you had mcnichols back in them in the
01:08mix i felt that he was going to be on the field some type of way jeremy mcnichols can do
01:14everything
01:16catch the ball at the backfield run the ball he's an exceptional special teams player he picks up uh
01:22blitzes on the blocks and stuff like that when you start having people like that that are going
01:27to be accessible you are going to try to get them back out there and right now you have mcnichols
01:32you
01:33have uh um eckler you have a rashad white and you have bill look at those four guys and you
01:43tell me
01:44right now although we like katron is he better than anyone else in an overall sense of what you're
01:52looking at and the thing about any gm or head coach what you're trying to do is put the absolute
01:58best
02:0053 together and whoever's going to play for you you want those guys to be the absolute best and i
02:06look
02:06at it right now those four with their experience and the things and their capabilities they give you
02:12the best chance and then when you look at the fact that terry is a little hampered uh digs have
02:18been
02:18hampered a little bit you think that they may have to bring up somebody else if those two guys can't
02:24go
02:24they got to bring up another receiver so you got to do something you got to make some moves to
02:29begin
02:29to put the proper people out there and it is so quick for everyone as soon as they see a
02:34move to start
02:35trying to bash somebody because of it sometimes it just makes sense it makes sense to be doing the
02:40things that they do and if he ends up back on the roster and come late on and do some
02:46stuff that
02:47happens that new practice squad thing is going to see you doing a lot of up and down you got
02:52to
02:53maneuver a lot of stuff you know and it's no it's nobody's fault it's not that they're horrible it's
02:58just what needs to happen at that moment you know so i i still one in three we're not done
03:10i would say this i felt that they would be one in three at best two and two after the
03:15first four
03:15games after looking at the schedule in the beginning that's what i thought i don't know
03:20if anybody else would think they're gonna be three and one or four and oh and if you were thinking
03:24that
03:24then you know what you need to get yourself checked because the whole thing about it is
03:28we were looking at it and we've had a hell already take case jayden lost missed some games
03:35marcus missed games terry missed games always was out for something you know louville was out we had
03:42some bad things happening we're still i think in striking range because this team has better talent
03:52i think they they are much better talent they have much better talent this year than they did last
03:56i believe the defense has played better than they did last year and now you got to start figuring it
04:01out because as we look i was looking at a thing from set joiner set joiner said the league and
04:07everybody wanted people to not play in preseason a lot of fans too y'all want them to put people
04:12in
04:12the damn bubble wrap until the season start and then when the season start guess what happens
04:18now they're going full speed without having a ramp up period without playing in preseason without
04:22doing anything then they get hurt and everybody fans same damn people that were sitting up here
04:28saying they shouldn't play you complaining that they got hurt well i can tell you straight up when i was
04:33a young kid when you would buy an automobile they tell you drive the car at 50 to 55 miles
04:40per hour
04:40don't go over that for a certain amount of time and then once you got to that point then you
04:45could go
04:45have to break in period you know what's happening now in the nfl and this is the nfl nfl pa
04:50thing
04:51together and a lot of players too you have to prepare yourself for the rigors of this damn sport
04:58this sport is tough as hell and yes it it makes you work a little hard but you know what
05:04happens
05:04as you work hard and you get yourself in the situation it becomes easier and i played 14 years
05:11i missed one game okay and i practiced exactly how i played i had players on my team that were
05:18pissed
05:18because man you're going too hard no i'm going where i gotta go to do it get it done i
05:24have sat here and
05:25i watch indy i watch nascar i watch formula one and you know what those people do if it's a
05:32500 mile
05:33race it's a 250 mile race it's a 300 mile race they probably go that distance prior to the race
05:41people that run marathons on a regular basis you know what they do before running that marathon they run
05:46a damn marathon okay you you have all these things happening and still all of the professionals
05:54and all of the people the blowhaw as i call them just want to just say stuff you want to
05:59tell me
05:59a football player can just take it easy and do absolutely nothing and then get to the season
06:07and then now go full speed and they're not going to get hurt you're not going to have issues you're
06:13not going to have problems we have to address that but you know what that's behind us now so we've
06:19gone
06:19through four weeks which i think is preseason now we're going to go through the next 13 weeks and i
06:26hope
06:26that for all people out there stay healthy start getting better make the right decisions
06:32and believe in each other and push each other if there's any player any coach any official over there
06:39in uh ashburn right now listening to me right now you need to elevate the intensity in practice
06:46you need to elevate the effort to make sure guys now when they get in the game ain't the first
06:52time
06:52they're being tested you want to make your guys better i did not want the guy on the other side
06:58of me that was going to be going out there and taking it easy on me you know i look
07:02back to school
07:03now high school elementary school all the teachers that used to push me i didn't like them back then
07:09but now that i'm a mature young man okay yeah i'm young i didn't say oh i'm a mature young
07:15man i look
07:16back and i think miss thoughts okay i think all of those teams miss moncrieve those teachers that
07:22hit me on the knuckles with the rulers held me accountable miss brown all the people that made
07:27me work harder that's the reason i'm aware i'm at today but those teachers that just didn't give a
07:32damn and push me along the way that i like back then i i can't stand them right now because
07:40they made
07:40it tougher for me to get to where i had to go so let's understand for everybody out there that
07:46has
07:47already given up we still there the giants are one are three and one we're one in three we can
07:53go out
07:53there and handle the giants we'd be right back with the cowboys okay the eagles don't seem like they're
07:59going up to see that they're going down there are other teams around that we're going to be facing
08:03that don't seem to be playing like they were playing hell we had already put the rams into the super
08:08bowl and the rams right now look like they can't find themselves and they have injuries on the rams
08:13they have uh the guy that they got miles gary they brought him over there he's not doing much
08:17so now i think we could just start to look at this thing a little differently these could change up
08:23for
08:23you and as we continue going through this thing all i mean for the rest of this day look this
08:27is
08:27football friday we presented by adios premium can margaritas say hello to adios dc and the thing for
08:33me is i want to get into a point where we could keep talking about this team and uh the
08:39next
08:39question as we get to the next segment we'll be talking about does it feel like the nfc east is
08:43wide open hell it is it is wide open we're not sure james winston can give you a high and
08:50he can give
08:50you lows james passed for 31 touchdowns one year i think in 31 interceptions james can do some some
08:57magnificent things either way magnificent in a positive manner magnificent in a negative manner
09:02you're looking at the cowboys they are not the team that we thought they were in some game they
09:08are very vulnerable as well the eagles as i stated and right now we are getting to a point where
09:13although we've had injuries we seem to be getting a little healthier and the hope is to keep people
09:20healthy and then things can begin to happen i feel like right now it's the best record from 30 i
09:28got
09:2813 games left whoever can come out list with the best can you win eight of them nine of them
09:34of the
09:35next 13 can you go out there and make people start second guessing the things they said before
09:41because for me as i was talking about me and ryan were talking earlier i say the problem is
09:44as we go through different mindsets and i hear fans i hear media and people get upset with me because
09:51i
09:51don't think like them it's hard for me to think like you i grew up in this profession playing the
09:58game and if i had the mindset that we lose the game oh the game is over the season is
10:02over i wouldn't
10:03have never made it to where i was you always have to have the and we and when you're in
10:07practice you
10:08see what people are working on you understand the different things that has to happen but you got to
10:13hold each other accountable you got to hold yourself accountable yeah hell the players got to hold the
10:19coaches accountable just like the vice versa the coaches got to hold the players accountable
10:22if you feel that it's something that will work better with the team i think the smart coaches
10:27will listen to it i've listened to deronte i've listened to blau and i i've talked today and many
10:33a times i believe if there is something that's going to help the team overall they'll listen to it
10:38they don't seem to be the guys that just go out there and say do what i do do what
10:43i say i don't
10:44want to hear nothing about it there are coaches that are like that that think they're the only one
10:48that has an understanding of what should happen but i think players who go through it and see
10:53stuff you know one thing about coach gives when nor was here and i got with andy they always tell
10:58me let me know what you see for some reason i see the game a little differently than most people
11:04playing quarterback and things like that i didn't just look at what i needed to do i look at what
11:08everybody needs to do so as i say that i'm just saying it for one reason let's pump the brakes
11:14a
11:14little bit every once in a while the people out there performing needs to feel like they're
11:19supported and as a person who's on the radio all every day on tv and doing different things with
11:26them and as a former player when you constantly hear people just crapping on you dismissing you
11:34saying what you can't do you know what you say i say okay you don't think i can do anything
11:38to
11:38hell with you i don't need to do nothing for you they stop caring but you don't want that to
11:43ever
11:43happen but they got to also have the guys on the team that are very much like i was i
11:50gave one finger
11:50salute to everybody that said that stuff to hell with you when i start doing good i'm gonna remember
11:55the people that said bad too and i don't want i don't want to hear you coming up to me
11:58oh man i was
11:59always behind you no you weren't you're a damn lie and the whole thing about now right now we have
12:04a
12:04new opportunity because the nfc east is wide i believe the nfl is wide open i don't think any
12:11team has really gone out there and shown us that they are unbeatable there's some undefeated teams
12:17out there but hell when we look at what kansas city has done they've had chances where they could
12:22have lost some games they quit a lot in the end jacksonville has been doing some great things
12:26we looked at uh buffalo and we thought they were unstoppable then boom and new england who had been
12:30playing horrible went out there and beat them anything can happen we have a lot of stuff going
12:35on we have a whole season ahead of us still let's pull for our guys and hope our guys go
12:41out there
12:41now and understand yes things have been bad but they can get better we're gonna take a quick break
12:47here when we get back we want to find out does it feel like the nfc east is wide open
12:51hell i said yes
12:52it is the whole league is peter philly 1067 the fam we'll be right back
12:56and then we go back
12:56so
