Makes grandma's birthday her best one yet.

But Adam Scott group messages with an app that isn't WhatsApp.

And so the photo invite came through so blurry, he never even knew about the party.

Yeah, grandma still won't talk to me.

Matt, we got a very special guest joining us right now.

We got

all-pro safety from the Detroit Lions led the league in interception last year.

Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Kirby Joseph.

KJ, what it do?

What's up, y'all, man?

I just want to thank y'all for having me on here.

What's up?

Kirby, well, you got me.

Yeah, I see the I see y'all.

I was saying the same thing, Ocho.

I'm thinking the same thing.

I'm thinking the same thing.

Hey, I ain't never, hey, I ain't never seen nothing like that.

Boy, what you say?

No, I'm in that.

I'm in that thing.

He's on that color.

That looked like a color of the sun.

That would look like an hour ago.

Where I'm sitting.

You know, I'm sitting, you know, many, many miles away, but that would have looked like.

Yeah, I'm bad.

I'm in the gap.

Hey, we look like you in space, boy.

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, how you doing?

How was your offseason?

Coming in?

Because look, the last couple of years, you get to the NFC championship game, you lose to the divisional round.

So how is your offseason?

And how do you lose the last two seasons, this offseason, to get you right where you need to be coming into this season?

So to be honest, I felt like that last season made me even hungrier.

You know, just getting the taste of like that I can do it, then I'm going to like achieve it all.

That's just how I am as a person.

You know what I'm saying?

I'm never going to stop at nine.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

I got nine interceptions.

I'm not going to stop at nine.

I'm always going to try to PR.

you know, because I feel like if you're not getting better, you're getting worse.

Hey, how was how was camp this year how's the body holding up obviously are you going into are you uncle always has a saying if you if you limp into the season you're gonna limp out the season how's your body holding up how did camp go and how you feeling going man honestly everything went great man i feel like we had a great camp i just feel like um i know now like you know this is like year four for me so it's like a lot of stuff i done seen before so like that that that that saying that saying like oh the more years you play like the more experience you'll get like it is that's like that's the truth you know cliche

look last year you guys man you got up to this great start you played pretty well all year but these injuries started to mount you lose a d lineman you lose a d tackle you lose a linebacker you lose a backup you lose you just kept you losing player after player and ag did a great job and coach campbell your head coach did a great job of keeping this team standing like no matter who we lose guys hey this is why we have 53 man rosters hey guys come in you do your job that's all i need you to do is your job it had to be frustrating you like well damn bro i mean

at some point in time we got to run out of defensive players we can't lose anybody else yeah last year that was i never seen nothing like that in football i never seen i never seen that before that it was i wouldn't say it was frustrating but it was kind of heartbreaking just seeing my brothers you know i'm saying like

get injured and stuff because nobody wants to get injured in this game you know saying but we love seeing this game and you know that's what we signed up for.

You know, injuries are going to happen.

But like, how that happened.

Yeah.

That was crazy.

Yeah.

I've never seen that before.

But

I feel like, I feel like, man, we just, we just knew what we had to do.

You know, I mean, you know, guys go down.

You know what I'm saying?

And if it's something like that that happens, man, I feel like

I don't pride myself on like

just having like, I wouldn't say I, but I feel like us as a team,

we don't we don't

how should i say we don't believe in like ones and twos you know what i'm saying it's like the next right gotta go everybody those starters go on yeah yeah because like i tell i tell the group all the time like even everybody always says it's gonna take all of us to win you know what i'm saying so like as a team that's just what you gotta do you know what i'm saying when your brother down man you gotta step up to play

how different go ahead ojo hey

Well, now I'm going to say, obviously, with AG being being gone, I'm one of the ones I've always come the bat for you guys regardless of who the person is calling the defensive plays, with AG now being with the Jets, but the same players are still there.

So, regardless of who's calling the plays, from your perspective and your point, are you still allowed the freedom to be able to do what you want to do at the safety position, being that you're as good as you are, being able to have a little freedom to do what you want?

Are you allowed to?

Yeah, I feel like I wouldn't say now, I always had a little freedom, especially when AG was there.

Just, you know what I'm saying, learning it as I go.

You know,

I feel like, yeah the same the same players are here you know what i'm saying um you know a g

i'm a missile you know what i'm saying but you know he had to go do what he had to do at the jets you know what i'm saying i'm wishing them good luck and all but um i feel like i don't feel like the level of play is gonna gonna decline at all you know if anything i feel like it'll increase a lot more you know what i'm saying because now i feel like um it's just you know it's a new coaching staff change you know what i'm saying everybody has to go through that coaching staff change and that that building relationships and the adversity you have to go through throughout the season.

You know what I'm saying?

So I just feel like it's a new turning point, you know, new chapter.

Right.

The thing for me,

when I'm thinking, I think about safety play, you wanted a better seat, probably actually the best safety in the NFL, you know, along with Kyle Hamilton.

And to be able to get the amount of picks you get, there's a certain amount of freedom that you have to have that it can't be schemed.

It can't be scripted.

It's not X's and O's.

It's just you being able to have free will to make decisions based on your eye discipline and what you see so i know you have a new coaching staff and most of the time you get coaches that come in and they they have i don't want to i think maybe not ego for the most part but i want you to do things my way and my way only so i would i would just curious if even with the new coaching staff are you still allowed to have free will

outside of the x and the those to be able to play your yeah for sure i feel like all like one thing i noticed about like a lot of a lot of my teammates on the on the team is that man like we're football players you know i feel like the team does a great job of allowing us to to be football players because you know football is not just what you see on paper it's not going to be like that in the game so you got to understand stuff happen so you gotta you know you gotta play football dog you just gotta play football out

thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you i i i i like that you said that because listen something that i always struggle with somebody i mean obviously when i was playing you you go in they put they put uh the scheme the taxes this is what we're running they do the exit knows it's a straight line and he cuts right i'm like dude that's not how it happens in real time.

You got people moving, pushing, and tugging.

So it's kind of different out there on the field.

And most of the time, I would always tell my officer coordinator: give me a little freedom to do what I do, but I'm going to stay within the timing of the offense.

And the same thing on defense, it's all about reading and reacting in a certain amount of time, but I'm going to do everything I can the way you draw it up.

But you got to give me some freedom where you don't have me out there playing like a goddamn robot.

Yeah, but go ahead.

I can't play football like a robot.

That is just not in me, bro.

I gotta.

Right, right.

No,

my question is, is that you got somebody in your division that you face twice a year that was your offensive coordinator for a long period of time.

And, you know, he's drawing up plays to beat the defense in training camp.

You guys are trying to scheme plays to stop the offensive training camp.

So how, how fun, how different, how difficult do you think it'll be to face Ben Johnson?

We know he's one of the best offensive minds in football, and he happens to be in your division.

You played them twice a year and they've loaded up.

They went and got drafted a receiver in the second round.

They drafted a tight end in the first round.

They shored up their offensive line.

They're seemingly in the preseason and I don't want to put too much on the preseason, Kirby, but it seems to be they're flying around defensively.

But you know their bread is butted on the offense.

They got a first round draft pick.

They got DJ Moore.

They got Roma Dunze.

I think they got...

was it Burton?

I think they took Burton in the second round on Missouri.

They got Loveland and Cole Komet.

So they're a really good team.

But, you know, you're familiar with him and he's familiar with you guys.

Hey, I like that you said that.

Because,

like, you know, Ben, Ben had to go do what he had to do, just like AG did.

You know, I'm happy for him.

You know what I'm saying?

The opportunity.

Yeah, they got some guys over there.

You know what I'm saying?

But Ben knows what's up with me.

Like you said, he knows what's up with me, bro.

He knows what's up with me, bro.

So I'm never going back down away from competition because honestly, I feel like that he knows the players and he knows kind of the scheme we run and stuff.

I feel like it's more of a challenge, you know.

So I feel like it's always a way to get better.

And I feel like that's a big, big test right there.

Yeah, you know what?

I would tell you, I would like to tell you this.

Dan Campbell, because when he first got the job, that man talking about bite kneecaps and he was going to do all this.

I'm like, damn.

So what's what's he really when the cameras are not there and it's just you guys at practice and and you guys are in the meeting room?

or you what's dan campbell like

honestly man

i feel like i feel like i feel like dan campbell that's just a great coach you know i feel like he's more of a player's coach because just because he understands like what you know what we put our body through and what we go through throughout

how everything be i feel like he does a a great job of like taking care of us and he shows that he's passionate you know about a lot of things we do like the reason why he's telling us uh, uh, these things he's telling us is because he wants us to win.

Not only him to win, but he wants us to win.

You know what I'm saying?

Like, you people, I'm saying it's not just him or the team, it's us because we're doing this as a group.

We're a team.

You know what I'm saying?

We're reaching one goal together.

So I feel like he does a great job of just teaching us that.

You know what I'm saying?

And a lot of the drills we do or a lot of the practices or the meeting, the team meetings, and stuff like that, man.

I just felt like, man, every time that man get up

and go up on that podium or whatever he's talking about, I'm ready to go right now.

I'm ready right now.

Yeah.

I'm ready right now.

So I just, man, I love Coach Campbell, man.

He does, you know, I'm saying everything.

I like it.

I like it.

Hey, what's your nutrition like?

Are you one of those healthy eaters?

You know, eat green stuff all the time?

Like, are you

big into that?

You know what I'm saying?

I'm going to try to eat good.

But if good,

like, if I ain't got, you know, I'm not going to go over the extent to just starve myself or not eating food.

I'm going to eat my food.

See, I like it.

See, so that brings me to my next question.

Oh, you for it.

Okay, okay, okay, that's cool.

Listen, I want to provide my services.

You know, I'm a meal prep.

So I can provide you with meals

Monday through Sunday.

I only charge $20 a week.

Are you a meal prep for it?

No.

Yeah, yeah, I'm a meal.

Listen, I'm trying to make sure you get the greatest output every Sunday or Thursday night or Monday nights, whenever y'all might play.

And you're my first client.

So I'm not taking no for answer.

I'm not taking no for answer.

I'm telling you.

So I'm going to let the world know.

Listen, I'm your nutritionist from now on.

And I thank you for giving me the opportunity.

Okay, bet.

All right, bro.

It's all good.

I'm going to check you out, though.

I'm going to check you out, bro.

Yeah.

Yeah, I got a new job.

I got a new job.

You guys traded Tim Patrick, Jameson Williams, going into his like third.

Jameson,

do you think he's ready to take that next step?

Because we've seen him show the flashes.

We know what Almond Ra, we know what he's going to do, but not Jameson, you know, and at first he was just that guy that tried to get deep.

But now you can just put the ball, you can hand it to him and he can go hit his head on the goalpost.

You can throw him a smoke screen, jailbreak screen, and he can go get the, he can go to the end zone.

So what do you think?

What can we expect to see from Jameson this year?

Man,

honestly,

I'm so proud of Jimmo, man.

Jimmo is one of the guys that you see out there and he just continues to get better.

You know what I'm saying?

And I feel like this year, I feel like they ain't seen this Jimmo yet.

They ain't seen this Jimmo yet.

So I ain't, you know what I'm saying?

I ain't going to put it all out though, but Jimmo this year for sure.

He ready to rock.

Yeah.

Hey.

Hey, where Brian Branch at?

Man, BB.

Man,

I know right now, he probably summoned, but man, that's man, that's that's none of the guys on another guy on the team that continues to just work hard, bro.

Like, bro, his, his, his back said, his back is uh, tools or whatever he used to play safety.

Yeah, hey, he's nice.

He may, he's nice.

Listen, I talked about him.

I talked about him all last year.

Matter of fact, it got to the point where it was almost weird.

I tweeted about him and you so much to the point where it's like I was

like, I was stalking.

But I'm listening, I appreciate secondary play, DB play so much.

Even though I'm a receiver, I was giving y'all voice credit week in and week out, just the way y'all played the game and the way y'all approached to the game.

So

I've always been a huge fan, especially, man, you and goddamn Brian Branch, man.

Him being able to go to safety, then sometimes having to go to corn.

I'm like, man, what the hell?

Like a damn Swiss Army knife.

He's doing everything.

Man, he's super talented, man.

He's super talented.

I feel like one thing he does the most is like

instincts crazy.

His instincts are crazy.

Him at nickel and him at safety is kind of the nickel is kind of up to park.

But when they moved him back to safety, you know what I'm saying, with Lizou,

man, like the plays he make, I just, you know what I'm saying?

I'm still wishing I made them.

I just put it like that.

Are you a talker?

I mean, when you're on the field, are you talking to the opposing team?

Is your defense talkers?

Or you guys just go play football?

To to be honest i feel like everybody got their own little situation going on with me out there that's it

good me personally i feel like i feel like i don't too much say nothing but somebody piss me off bro you're gonna hear me bro like i'm and once i'm going at you bro i'm never gonna stop

yeah

is it is there a player is there a player that you really don't like that y'all always go at it to give you a better example perspective mike evans and marshawn lattimore Lattimore.

Do you have anybody like that that you go at it with in the NFL or not?

I got a couple.

I got a couple of them.

I don't too much be going for none of that, right?

Is it is it personal or is like really serious?

Like, I don't really, I don't, I don't see you like that.

Like, I really

want it.

Who that, who that guy?

I want to know.

I want to know something.

I'll tell you, I'll tell you.

I ain't, I'll tell you.

I'll tell you that.

I'll tell you.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Hey, because once they find out, they're going to be trying to separate.

Yeah.

Okay, okay, I got you.

Because once he finds out, he's going to try to get you before you get him.

Yeah, yeah.

Now

he knows who I am.

So, okay.

Obviously,

your head coach, and you mentioned a lot of the players from the defense and the offense are still there.

Although you lost both of your coordinators, the expectations are still high.

You guys won 15 games last year.

The year before that, you went to the NFC championship game.

Bro, it's time.

I mean, you know,

you only get so many bite of the apple, Kirby, before the apple's gone.

That

y'all be taking big bites.

Hey,

we ain't going to stop.

Hey, we ain't going to stop till we get there, though.

Like, but I don't never see myself, especially, like, stopping.

I feel like a lot of the things we went through, I feel like it was to get us to this moment right now.

I feel like we got a lot of guys healthy.

We got guys back.

You know what I'm saying?

I feel like, especially the guys that were on the team last year, they kind of understand that we gave it even more than we did the first year, but that still wasn't enough.

You know what I'm saying?

So got to still keep going because now it's just any minute, minute thing going on with the game that could be the change at the top of the game.

You know what I'm saying?

So just working on the situations and stuff like that.

And then just, we got to make plays.

You know what I'm saying?

I feel like, I feel like.

A lot of the things that happen on the field with like playmaking, I feel like it's not only the coaches getting on us, but it's ourselves because we gotta, we keep ourselves accountable with a lot of the things.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, yeah, because it's like,

I be hard on myself when I don't get an interception for the game, you know, because I feel like I leave my team down.

You know what I'm saying?

And BB might feel the same way if he didn't get enough sacks.

You know what I'm saying?

It's just stuff like that.

Like, you know, I just be like, you know what I'm saying?

Let's help each other and keep each other on point.

But before we start, before we get into football, I just want to know, do you got a nutritionist?

I don't have, I do have a nutritionist on the team that I use.

And then I also.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, we're not using, we're not using him or her no more we're not using her no more listen i'm a meal prep i'm the nfl nutritionist i've been appointed by the nfl for all the players you know so i'm gonna send you information and i'm gonna be your meal i'm gonna meal prep you meals for the next 17 weeks and for the playoffs and um you my second client so i got is is you and kirby joseph and then i'm uh and 20 a week 20 a week that's all that's all i charge and so i'll be making sure prepared eat before everybody can tell all the rookies about this.

I appreciate that.

Literally,

you get traded, you go to Seattle,

and it seems like in Seattle, you found a home.

I mean, look, it's not that you didn't play, you didn't play bad, but it seems like you found a home in Seattle.

Can you tell us what's the biggest difference between Seattle and New York?

And I'm not talking about geographically, but I'm saying in the defenses,

was it something the way the coaches, the way you received the information?

Was it the way they gave the information?

Is it the defensive scheme?

What was different about the defense?

Man, honestly, I agree with you.

I feel like I found a home out here in Seattle.

I feel like there's a combination of things that made it feel different.

So, the fan base was one of the big differences.

Just like the way they embrace me, the way they show up on game day, the way they support our team and stuff like that.

And then, also, just in terms of schematics and coaches, I feel like, you know, having AD who came from the Cowboys

and then Coach Mike McDonald, I feel like they just kind of created the scheme where they allow me to like play with freedom and they allow me to be like a playmaker and use my athleticism.

And

they celebrate me for, you know, just being in the backfield.

And sometimes

like if I'm seeing, if I see a play outside of the scheme, they allow me to like sometimes swim a block.

Yeah, exactly.

Go make a play where,

you know, a lot of times throughout my career, I feel like i've was almost too coachable at times where um you know i was taken away from my playmaking ability where i was like trying to play a block the way the coaches wanted me to and stuff like that so there's a lot of conversational stuff

it's so funny you just said that we just talked to kirby joseph and the one things i asked him obviously they have a new uh defensive coordinator right and i said do you still have the freedom to have free will outside of the scheme that your coach has?

Will they still allow you to do that?

And he said, yes.

And the fact that you started everything out about your coaches allowing you to have the freedom to be able to make plays based on your football knowledge and what your eyes see instead of what it says on paper

is really, really important, especially for players like yourself to be able to reach their maximum potential out there on Sundays.

And that's really dope.

That's really, really dope to hear.

Yeah, I agree.

I think it's important.

I mean, for me, it just made me feel like it brought like the excitement of football back for me a little bit too, which made me like once I started having fun.

I'm like, y'all played before, so you know how it is.

Like, when you're out there having fun and you're able to play free and,

you know, have free will and be celebrated for it, it's like

the best side of you comes out.

And I feel like that's how it is here.

Let me ask you this: when you're at the Giants and then you get traded, you're like, damn, has anybody ever been traded from the Giants to the Jets or Jets to the Giants?

I mean,

because it is so different.

Jet fans, I mean, the Jets fans and the Giants fans, they're so different.

The city reacts so different to each team.

Yeah, I mean, like you said, even though we played in the same stadium, the fan base felt different.

The culture felt very different.

The Jets were kind of further out in Jersey.

Felt like we were like a New Jersey team kind of.

And then the Giants being so close to the city made me feel like I was an actual New York team.

But it was, it was very interesting.

I mean, luckily, I didn't have to move during that trade.

I was still able to stay in my house.

But it was definitely weird when like that same week I got traded, I ended up playing in the stadium.

And like instead of going into one parking lot, I went to a different parking lot.

And instead of walking down that hall to go to one locker room, I just went to a different locker room.

So it was very strange.

Yeah, it was interesting.

Yeah.

How's the body holding up, man?

You're going into camp.

I mean, actually.

camp now ending preparing for week one how's the body holding up i mean amazing honestly i mean

I have a coaching staff.

Our strength staff here at Seattle is the same strength staff I had at USC.

Okay, that's dope.

It's really cool.

So they got to see me develop as like a young player.

So they know what works for Leonard Williams.

Yeah, exactly.

And we all talk about how it looks like I'm like, and it feels like I'm in the best shape of my life, honestly.

I mean, that's saying something.

I mean, for a guy your size to be able to move and be as agile.

I mean, because we saw, what did they say?

You're the largest guy to ever get a what?

You have a 90-yard return, a return return.

You're the heaviest guy in NFL history to return

an interception that far for a touchdown, correct?

Yeah, that's correct.

So

take us through that play.

Were you supposed to drop in courage, or did you see something?

You see his eyes?

And just like, look, I'm going to make this play.

Yeah, that's one of Mike McDonald's genius plays right there, actually, where it was designed for the d-tackles to drop out and i actually got a pick and practice uh earlier in camp that year so when that play was dialed up like every time it's dialed up i'm thinking i'm a play is coming my way and it just happened like it happened so fast man like people were asking me like oh like what were you thinking when it happened and i was telling everybody it felt like it was like an outer body experience actually like i felt I was almost watching myself from like an aerial view of the half.

You snagged it.

I mean, it wasn't like it like you did.

I'm just like, nah, bro, you, I mean, like, you played tight end at some point in time.

You caught the ball.

You played on the other side of the ball.

You had to.

That was not a defensive title.

That means a lot.

But yeah,

I played.

I played tight in the high school, but it wasn't like much.

It was like just every once in a while.

I went to a big high school, so we didn't have to play both sides that much.

But I'm an athlete, though.

Hey, hey,

were you from LA?

Yeah, I was born in California, but I went to high high school in Daytona Beach, Florida.

So I was kind of back and forth

from California, Florida, most of my upbringing.

Okay.

You got a different quarterback this year, Geno Lee's, who

goes to the Las Vegas Raiders.

In comes Sam Donnell, who did an excellent job last year.

But you play with

Sam in...

with the Jets.

So you're very familiar with him.

What are the expectations?

You guys had a nice little end to the season last year.

I mean, so what's the expectations this year for Seattle?

I mean, I think the expectation is,

you know, as a defense, we want to be the best on the field.

We have high expectations for our offense this year, but like we compete with each other even within the defensive room.

It's like the defensive line wants to be the best group on the defense.

The DBs want to be.

best group on the defense and and so on but i'm definitely excited about the way our offense is looking right now We got a new coordinator and we're running the ball great so far.

It's only been preseason, but it just looks like a new team with the way we're running the ball.

And then, like you said, I played with Sam Darnold

on the Jets.

And then I also played with him at USC for like one year.

Damn, you can't get away from him, huh?

Yeah, I know.

He keeps following me.

But like just seeing what he did last year, I mean, you know, he even played against us really well when we played them last year against against the Vikings.

And just seeing the way he's matured, you know, he's bounced around, played on a few teams, played in a few different systems.

And I think he's finally found his groove and matured into a good player.

Most definitely.

I mean, I'm excited for you guys too, especially from an offensive perspective.

Seeing what Sam Donald was able to do in Minnesota last year, obviously with Justin Jefferson and Addison and Hoggins.

But then also.

Now you got JSN, you got Cooper Cup over there, Kenneth Walker, obviously taking some of the pressure off him from um allowing him to to be able to flourish i think y'all gonna be fine y'all y'all y'all gonna be fine so i'm excited for y'all who y'all got week one we got the niners divisional match divisional match divisional robbery week one baby yeah y'all y'all got

niners they hurt they don't know who they're gonna throw the ball to yeah y'all let me ask you a question when you when you when you tell me what what's your mindset what's your thought process because you know you do you move up and down the line because you know all the the great like a lot of the defensive players that you know the reggie weiss the bruce smith the aaron donalds those guys the johnny randles warren sapp they moved up and down the line and they're trying to turn the handle to the door and see which one opens the quickest which one opened the easiest and that's where i'm gonna stay so i might be a i might have to be line up in a a seven i might have to line up at a five i might get in a three i might get a i might get in the nose i i whatever i'm just trying to find the weakest link because that's how it is on the serenget.

The old and the weak get taken advantage of.

That's what I'm looking to do.

I mean, you said it perfectly.

I mean, I never heard it described with the opening the door thing.

That's like, I'm going to have to take that back into the D-line room and spread that.

But yeah, I mean, I think that's something that makes me a unique player.

Since coming out of college, I could play from the zero all the way out to like six, nine technique on the edge.

Like, and it showed up last year.

I was getting, you know, sacks at N.

I was getting sacks at three technique.

I prefer three techniques.

You like to play the undertackle, huh?

Yeah, I like to play three techniques.

You like that shade?

He likes to be on that shade.

It's just less space, less stuff to look at.

Sometimes when I'm out there at the end, it's like they'll try to put a receiver out there.

Make it look at the toss crackier.

Yeah, yeah.

It's all that tricky stuff out there on the edge.

Sometimes when I'm on the three technique, I'm just

going to

get on my man right now as quick as possible.

But in certain situations, like playing against the Niners, it's a little less about finding the fish, what we call it.

Oh, yeah, hey, hey, you got to land him.

Hey, we got to, hey, we got a fish over here.

Yo, yo, we got the fish.

But against playing like the Niners, instead of finding the fish, they actually like to line me up on Trent because they say their offenses kind of ran around him sometimes.

So it's like

their run game and a lot of stuff like that tends to run towards Trent Williams.

So they like to put me on him to kind of like help shut down the run a little bit.

So it works hand in hand like that.

What's it like?

Let me ask you, what's it like to get traded mid-season?

I mean, so they call you so were you home when you got the news that you were traded were you home were you at practice so so where were you when you got the news that you were going to get traded

um i was in the building damn uh it was on yeah it was on a monday So I came in just doing my normal routine.

I was definitely hearing like conversations about like possible trade, you know, with my agent and just the way the season was going for the Giants.

Oh, you know, we were we were losing.

We were pretty much already out of the playoffs.

And then the GM like called me into his office, so I kind of already expected what was coming.

And

the way he presented it to me was making it seem like I had like two teams to choose from that were like both trying to trade for me for around the same offer, pretty much.

And at the time, like, the Seahawks were like number one in the division.

I knew a Pete Carroll a little bit, and I just thought it was the best fit for me.

It was obviously a struggle, like, coming all the way to the West Coast, Pacific North Coast.

Yeah, that's a long way.

That's a long.

That's a

Yeah, it was long.

And then I'm living in a hotel for like two weeks before I get situated in like a house and stuff like that.

So it's a lot.

But, you know, I even played good for those eight weeks that I was here.

And I remember like my wife and like coach and teammates even asked me, like, you know, how were you able to play good even in the middle of like moving and transitioning your life and stuff like that?

And for me, I told my wife and other people that like there was so much going on like out of my control that it made me like focus on what I could control.

Exactly.

I was fully dialed in on what I could control.

So it just like the way I showed up for work every day, the way I played and stuff like that just like went to another level because I was like, oh, like I put so much more emphasis and focus on like what I could control.

Right.

What are your goals this upcoming season from an individual standpoint?

Obviously, you know, team goals, you have those defensively, you have, obviously, you have team goals that you have as a unit.

But from an individual standpoint, what do you hope to accomplish this season outside of the main goal being Super Bowl?

I mean, as an individual, I think I just want to like build on the season I had last year.

I felt like I was short of some accolades that I worked for.

And I feel like I want to, you know, be first AP all-pro and Pro Bowl this year.

And,

you know, maybe like 10 plus sacks, like 15 plus TFLs, just

and also feed the rest of my guys.

I feel like we have a great D-line right now.

And I feel like at least four of us can have eight plus sacks this year.

Do you feel like the defensive tackles because you guys don't get the high sack totals?

Aaron Donalds is an anomaly.

A guy that plays the three techniques.

That's crazy.

That's unheard of.

But you guys don't get like the edges.

You know, the Miles Garrett and the Michael Parsons and the TJ Watts that's out there on on edge and playing in space, they're going to have 13, 14, 15, 17, 20 sacks.

Do you feel like you guys get the credit that you deserve?

I think the standard for D-tackle definitely has changed in the last few years.

And I think Aaron Donald was a big part of that, obviously.

Him getting 10 plus sacks every year and...

you know, 20 sacks, his defensive player of the year.

You know, that was different for a defensive tackle.

I like, if you were getting like six to eight sacks as a defensive tackle, normally, that's like a good season.

Yeah, that's a that's a good season for a D-tackle normally.

And I think nowadays, um, you know, fans want to see 10 plus sacks from a defensive tackle for them to think that you had a good season.

And, and unfortunately, they see sacks as like one of the main stats and they don't see like all the play in, play out, run, the tackles that the bosses, the, the, the, the holding up so the uh, the linebackers can make the plays.

yeah

i mean

i don't i don't like to do that either

what i don't

know if you like to play the undertacker i already know you ain't tried to two gap

yeah yeah you ain't no i like two capping but i want i want to make the play for sure i love my linebackers but like i said we'd be competing in our room so hey first come first serve bro i'm trying to get

i got first track i'm closer to him than you are i heard you're in the match

Oh, what do you know about that?

No, I just, I mean, you know, did a little research.

So you.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's not like, it's not like pulling bunnies out of a hat, like card, not like that type of magic.

You know what I mean?

It's a card game.

It's kind of like similar to like Pokemon game.

You collect cards and you can play it.

It's called like Magic the Gathering.

Okay.

Yeah, Magic the Gathering.

And like Wizards of the Coast is the brand that

makes them.

And what's cool is they're based out here in Seattle.

So they gave me like a tour of their facility and stuff like that.

And uh, what you know, we've been in communication about that.

So, is that what you do in your downtime?

I mean, I do a lot of things in my downtime.

I feel like I'm pretty different from most football players.

I think I started playing football later in life.

Like, I didn't start playing football until I got to high school.

And I feel like because of that, I was able to kind of figure myself out as like a person a little bit.

I mean, I was young still, obviously, but I feel like I was able to like find other interests and hobbies and stuff like that outside of football.

So, I like to go like spirit fishing and like boating and traveling.

That's what I was about to ask you.

Being up there in Seattle, do you like to, do you like to go fishing?

Because, you know,

what's the market?

I went up there because you got to go to the market.

If you go to Seattle, you got to go to fish and do all that.

Have you, have you taught them?

Have you been able to catch it?

Yeah, of course.

I went up there like.

A few weeks after I got traded when I finally got out of the hotel, like me and my wife were like, okay, now it's time to explore the city a little bit.

So we went to the market and like they all recognized me like right away.

So they were like, Big K, you got to come over here.

And like, I was definitely nervous because I feel like I got hands.

Like, you've seen the interception, but

catching a wet and slippery fish.

Yeah, I'm like, but I, but I caught it and it was a pretty cool tradition.

But yeah, that's something I like to do during my off time is go fishing and stuff like that.

And I'm based down in Florida during the offseason, so it's perfect.

Hey, well, you're in Florida?

But where?

A lot of the

and I'm right here.

Would you like, would you, would you, would you go on a trip?

Let's just say they said, well, they go out for, they got to bring me back.

I couldn't stay out there for no two, three months.

The deadliest catch.

You know, they go out there to the Baron sea.

I might do it like a couple of days, but they're gonna have to come get me.

I ain't gonna lie, the way the boat be almost completely tilted over.

Oh, you be sweet.

Yeah, I'm pretty adventurous and like to do a lot of crazy stuff.

My teammates judge me for sometimes, but that's one of those.

I don't, I don't know.

You good?

You good with that?

Say them Alaska King crabs.

The Cleveland Browns, OJo, are trading Kenny Pickett to the Raiders in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick.

Taken 20th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2022 draft, Pickett has now been traded three times in his career.

That leaves the Browns with two rookies, Dylan Gabriel and Shaduard Sanders, behind starter Joe Flacco.

Stefanski has...

has not named Flacco's backup.

The Raiders needed the backup to Geno Smith after Aiden O'Connell.

He broke his wrist and he's going to be out six to eight weeks.

So they needed the backup.

Yeah.

the uh,

the Browns are like, you know, what we got one.

Yes, sir.

What y'all want?

What y'all try to do?

What y'all try to do?

Something.

Y'all try to do something, folks, do something?

Because right now, it's one o'clock.

Easter time, four o'clock.

Everything needs to be taken care of.

So they got this done.

I like this move.

Oh, Joe, I told you.

Yeah.

I didn't see a scenario where Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett was on this roster.

Two better recorders.

I didn't see that.

I didn't.

So, Tim, what you think about the move?

Surprise?

No, I'm not surprised at all.

Obviously, Kenny Pickett is a very, very serviceable quarterback.

He showed glimpses of being able to lead a team, maybe not quarterback number one, but we saw him in Pittsburgh.

We saw him in Philly when he got his opportunity to play there.

And obviously, due to injuries and circumstance, we weren't able to see much of him in Cleveland, but obviously seen what he could do in two other spots

outside of Las Vegas, where he's going to be now.

And obviously, learning and sitting behind Geno Smith is a great, great, great quarterback, quarterback number one to sit behind and learn that offense from.

And if anything goes wrong where Geno Smith goes down, Kenny Pickett is a grace serviceable quarterback that can go in and lead a team to a couple of wins.

Obviously, they have Amari Cooper.

Jacoby Myers is upset right now, obviously wanting an extension.

And I think because of Jacoby requesting a trade, they obviously reached out to Amari Cooper.

And Amari Cooper has some other choices of teams he could have went to, but he chose to go back to the Raiders for obvious reasons.

He's going to get that ball.

He's going to get that ball.

And,

I mean, that's what it is.

I think it's a good thing, good pickup for Pete Carroll.

And he's going to be all right.

He's going to be all right over there in Las Vegas.

Yeah, I like the move for both sides.

Reports are out, Ocho, that Kenny Pickett, they really, the Browns really like Kenny Pickett.

Yes.

They were hoping he would be their starter.

But I didn't see a scenario where if you're keeping four quarterbacks, you're not keeping two veterans and two rookies.

No.

It just didn't make a whole lot of of sense to me, Ojo.

No, not at all.

Because the backup, he's not going to be your future.

He's not your future.

Your future are the rookies.

So if he got, if he's your backup, now

you're taking rep from them.

Right.

And I hate when they say stuff like that too.

Uncle the way you just started that sentence where they wanted Kenny Pickett to be the starter.

Obviously, if Kenny Pickett was the type of quarterback that was to be a starter and the future for the Cleveland Browns, he would have been Pittsburgh.

Yeah, I mean,

no disrespect to him.

No disrespect to him.

He would have been that there.

Yes.

When you think about the makeup in the DNA of the Cleveland Browns, they are not heavily offensive skilled in a sense where you can have a quarterback that needs more talent around him to succeed like Kenny Pickett would.

You know, I think Joe Flacco is suited.

Okay, I don't have that much talent around me offensively because the identity for the Cleveland Browns is their defense, no matter what.

Stay in the chat trying to hate.

The Cleveland Brown defense, it's very good, no matter what you say.

You can say what you want to say.

So

they went with the right choice in Joe Flacco.

They got Jerry Judy and Joku,

and they're going to have to eat.

Cedric Tillman, they're going to have to eat.

Yeah, they're going to have to carry a lot of, do a lot of the heavy lifting, Ojo.

A lot of it.

And the thing is, is that, like, Joe Flacco at 40 years of age in year 18, what are your expectations?

What are your expectations?

I mean, if you really go back and look at it, Joe Flacco really hasn't ever, really been good in the regular season.

He's made a name for himself in the postseason.

Beating of Andrew Luck, beating a Tom Brady, beating a Peyton Manning.

That's where he beat.

He beat Tom Brady twice in the postseason.

I say something too, Uncle.

Go ahead.

Real quick.

He beat Andrew Luck.

He beat Tom Brady.

Please let the chat know and understand the teams and the talent that was surrounding him.

Yes.

He did those.

Let's remember what that defense looked like.

Let's remember what the weapons he had on offense looked like.

Now, it wasn't, it wasn't obviously a team game, but we can't just put this all on flacco now.

But he was, I mean, I mean, he was a, I mean, he really looked like Joe Montana come play with playoff times.

Oh, yeah, because he never, he never showed what he's shown in the playoffs, he's never shown that in the regular season for any length of time.

Yes, he's had good games, he's a quarterback.

I mean, you don't be a quarterback for a decade, a starting quarterback for a decade plus, ojo and not put up good numbers so he's put up good numbers yes but nothing that would say oh my god there's a reason why ozzie traded back into the first round it's like select lamar jackson yes sir so with that being said he beat andrew look he went to denver beat pay manning he went to new england and beat tom brady he did that and then he went on the road and beat a san francisco team when carla nick was at his apex without outstanding defense when they had navarro bowman when they had Patrick Willis, when they had Smith, when they had those great, that great team, Frank Gore running the ball a mammoth offensive line.

He did that.

I'll give him credit for that.

But like I said, it's in the postseason that he's made a name, really cut his teeth and made a name for himself because there's really been no consistency in the regular season.

He showed you Flash.

You're like, damn, why can't we get this more, more, more, more this Joe Flacco than the other guy?

Listen, Joe Flacco, what are he going to get at Browns?

He going to give you a five, six game run of wins.

You're going to be like, holy

man.

He did it.

He did it two years ago.

Yep.

Deshaun went down.

Boy, they went on a hell of a run with Flacco, boy.

Jerry Judy.

Wait, no.

Was that Judy?

Judy wasn't there then.

No, Judy wasn't there.

I think there was somebody, somebody at receiver was going crazy, man.

It might have been Coop.

It might have been Coop.

It was Coop.

It was Coop going crazy, man.

Yeah, it was.

The damn show was Coop.

And see, and that's the thing.

You see see what happened.

He came in.

There was no expectations.

They won some games, and then we started having expectations for him.

And then what happened?

Yeah, the bottom fell out.

Interceptions, turnouts.

Yes, yes.

So this, I like this move for the Browns.

Now this gives Dylan Gabriel.

Look, they talk about where they have a name to backup.

We know who the backup's going to be.

I won't need a name.

We already know who the backup's going to be.

Yeah.

And Dylan Gabriel is going to be the backup.

It's your door when you get your reps.

And because you're going to probably be, well, Dylan will be running some of the practice, some of the opposing teams quarterback also.

But,

excuse me, the scout team offense,

that's when your opportunity, that's when you show what you can do.

That's the way you don't go through the motions.

You take it serious.

Hey, they tell you where to go at the ball.

You go through your progressions

and get the ball where it needs to go.

But in the meantime, A, you get enough, that playbook.

And when your opportunity presents itself, you take full advantage of it.

So the good thing, and the funny thing, the good thing for Stewart, as well as Dylan Gabriel as well, is when you take the scout team reps, hey, you're going against the number one defense.

Absolutely.

Going against the number one defense.

So obviously

it's mental reps plus physical reps, but it's against the best players, similar to what you would see on a Sunday.

So it's just not no, it ain't going to be no walk in the park, man.

Nope.

Ain't going to be no walk in the park.

Elcho, but I relish that day.

I remember that fact.

That was 35 years.

I was a rookie back in 1990.

So that's 35, 36 years ago.

I remember it.

I was lighting them up, Ocho.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, this is my Sunday.

Right, right.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

That is my Sunday.

I'm not going to get a whole lot of reps on offense.

I'm going to be on special teams.

This is my Sunday.

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, I'm cooking.

Yeah.

And

take it easy, my ass.

Right.

Well, I'll try to keep it your hey.

After the coach done told me that, hey, we still cut around here.

Now, I just want y'all to know that.

Hey, hell, oh, Joe, it's September.

I think I done made the squad.

Coach said, oh, no, we still cut.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I can't.

Now, how that's going to look, oh, Joe, I done made the team.

I done called home Libby.

I made it.

Spank.

I made it.

Mama, I made it.

Call him home.

I made it.

And then all of a sudden, I get cut.

Oh, nah, nah.

Hell nah.

Man, I cooked.

I was cooking.

I'm trying to think who we played.

We played the Raiders over the week, my rookie year.

Man, I cooked the dude so bad Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Yeah.

After practice, they cut him.

For real?

Cut it.

Cooked it.

Cooked.

I was cooked.

Oh, yo, I was cooking.

Hey,

it's so funny.

I didn't know.

I didn't know the correct way to practice.

I knew one thing.

Do everything.

Special teams, I'm out there playing around just to keep my body warm and moving.

I'm at the gunner.

I'm running down on special teams.

Scout team.

I was a gunner.

Listen, I was.

I'm in year 10.

T.O.

is, you know, T.O.

is obviously on the Bengals with me.

So I'm peeping.

I'm watching T.O.K.

Okay, this is how he do it.

Okay, that's how he do it.

Scout team come up.

I'm taking all the reps on scout team to give my number ones a look.

And T.O.

pulled me to the side like.

What is how you practice?

You're not supposed to, you got to give your body time.

You got to save them legs, man.

i say t boy i take all the reps this is this is all i know this is how i know i say your boy he's like oh boy you tripping boy you got to save your legs for sunday i say t i'm gonna be all right but this is how this is how i've always done it i always take the scout team so i give the number one corners the best look depending on who they seeing it's like boy you better than me because i couldn't do that Early, early in your, you know, I would take a couple, you know, they just like want to get some work or something.

But as I got older, I started getting year five, year six.

Nah, I ain't got nothing for your scout team.

Real?

Oh, shit.

I didn't know.

My first time thinking there was something wrong with it, once T.O.

got there to Cincinnati was telling me, listen, you need to scale back a little.

You need to tone it back.

Do what you do with the ones when we're up offensively and you go.

You go.

Oh, yeah.

You're getting seven hard rep.

But plus, Ocho,

you taking one-on-ones too.

See, I was the only tight end that took one-on-ones.

I never ran routes against linebackers or anything like that.

I

routes against the Watt DBs.

So

I'm getting that and I'm getting my reps.

So once we got through, I do like five, six plays of nine-on-seven.

Might say, 84, go down and get some work on one-on-one.

Okay.

Because you know, during the some games, I split out wide, I'll be in the flex position.

Right.

But

this is your opportunity.

If I could tell any rookie anything, give them any advice.

When you're running scout team, that is your Sunday.

Yeah.

That is your game.

Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday is your Sunday.

You approach it like that.

You like that, hey, man, take it easy.

No, I ain't take it easy on nothing.

When they cut that film on, they're going to see number 81 busting his ass.

Cause I ain't going home.

Because

you take it easy.

You want to laugh.

Okay, hey, bro, I understand that you a vet and you know, you in your 10 or whatever the case may be, but I'm going 1,000 miles an hour as hard as God will let me.

Oh, yeah.

And the ball is going to be coming to me too.

Oh yeah.

And they're like, hey, son, he's a rookie.

So what you think, what you think they got gonna do?

Right.

More than that.

So you,

that's for sure.

I don't even know what I'm doing.

I'm just, I'm just following the, hey, I just see the circle.

Hey, that's where the ball going.

Hey, let me get that right there.

Yeah.

Ah, smart water.

Huh, a taste for taste.

Drew and Sue and Eminem's Minis.

And baking the surprise birthday cake for Lou.

And Sue forgetting that her oven doesn't really work.

And Drew remembering that they don't have flour.

And Lou getting home early from work, which he never does.

And Drew and Sue using the rest of the tubes of Eminem's Minis as party poppers instead.

I think this is one of those moments where people say, it's the thought that counts.

Eminem's, it's more fun together.
