Dwight Freeney

... a lot of those mindfulness techniques really helped me.

When you're going against a guy like Dwight Freeney, you know, it's all of a sudden fourth quarter, third and 10, game's on the line, it's easy to panic.

But it's like, "No, go back to my training, breathwork, eyes closed.

Focus on what I have to do and visualize what this dude is gonna try to do to me," so you're a split second quicker to react when he does it.

And, uh, that's when we really, like, dove into that side of it, which was pretty awesome.

Yeah, that's awesome.

You were bringing up, uh, Dwight Freeney a little bit ago.

Who was the pass rusher that you felt like had the most success against you?

They're, they're gonna have to stop the run on the way to the quarterback.

And this is what the Colts used to do with D- Dwight Freeney and Terence Mathis, and you've had...

And the Rams do it with, uh, the o- one of the kings of do- doing this is Aaron Donald.

He's pass rushing on, on every play.

When we were coming up through Syracuse, um, Donovan McNabb was already on the Eagles.

Dwight Freeney was already on the Colts.

Um, they had a couple good receivers.

Mike Williams got drafted, uh, uh, to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

And look, there are some guys who can get into their bag and have 1,000 pass rush moves and, you know.

You think about the greats, you think about Dwight Freeney's spin move.

Mm-hmm.

And you think about the great swim moves, and you think about...

So I actually think maybe we get a little bit of a slow start, and then in the second half it kinda opens up.

I got a lotta questions also about that Colts defense, like, who's gonna run the passer? We've been asking for a consistent pass rush with Indianapolis since Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis have been playing, and one of 'em just went into the Hall of Fame a couple years ago, so that tells you how long it's been that they've had a really consistent pass rush.

And I think that you're in trouble if you don't get one against Lamar Jackson, so over for me in Indianapolis.

Wes, I gotta tell you, going back to our green zone days, I don't know anybody does it better than you at those kinda halftime adjustments of that, so I'm already earmarking that maybe an over, under first half and look to the over in that second half.

When we were coming up through Syracuse, Donovan McNabb was already on the Eagles.

Dwight Freeney was already on the Colts.

They had a couple good receivers.

Mike Williams got drafted at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Okay? Here are the names from 2024.

Dwight Freeney, Randy Gratishar, Devin Hester, Andre Johnson, Steve McMichael, Julius Peppers, and Patrick Willis.

Seven guys.

Okay? Of those players, the only two that I don't know about that I have not seen play is...
