00:00The opening kickoff and I'm talking about effort guys playing hard the opening kickoff of the game was a touchback, right?

00:06Number 45. Amen, whatever is never got the linebacker that came over from the Chargers

00:11He doesn't take a step off the line of scrimmage

00:13Everybody else kind of covers a little bit, you know, they know it's a touchback

00:17But that's a me screamed. I'm like, wait a minute. You're not giving any effort whatsoever

00:21And I do have a little bit of problem with the DJ more stepping out of balance and going to the bench and then coming

00:26Back in the next play and running a go pattern out of the out of the slot

00:30Like if you step out of bounds in that position and you're a great teammate wouldn't you want to turn around and see what Caleb's?

00:35Gonna do I know he said he was a little gimpy

00:37But you also came in the next play and you were gonna go route the very next play

00:41So what I see on tape is guys just not given the full effort and that's when I start seeing the crack in it

00:47That's what I'm starting to go. Yes, and that's that's what's scaring me a little bit

00:51and those are just two examples and the one of the opening kickoff is just obviously I

00:56Put a little extra eye on special teams and I'm like, wait a minute

00:58You're the only one out there not taking a step if I'm Richard Hightower

01:03I'm getting all over his butt and I talked to some other special teams coaches around the league and they said that that's that's kind

01:08Of unacceptable. You can't have that

01:10There's other things you can do by running down the field setting up blocks for later returns

01:13But that's just examples of effort that I'm not seeing like just the DJ more just

01:18Struck me wrong that he didn't even turn around and want to watch the play

01:22That I just that that's that's tapping out a little bit as a teammate that if I'm in that room

01:27I'm like, come on DJ. What are you doing, man?

01:28You got you got 10 other guys running around trying to get a first down catch a ball

01:32I understand what you're doing

01:33What he did was smart to step out of bounds because he takes himself out of play

01:37If you go to the Patriots game, sir

01:38I keep going long the Patriots game last week Hunter Henry when they scored the touchdown to tie the game

01:43He stepped out of bounds. So what did he do? He backed out of the end zone

01:47So Drake may do not to throw to him

01:48So what I what DJ more did I think is correct, but as far as body language, that's what concerns me

01:53We know we've heard about DJ more body language the seat

01:56I know and that's just a concerning because everybody I've talked to the coach for him played with him has said

02:02He's just a tremendous teammate and that's what scares me when you hear a tremendous teammate

02:05Showing you a little bit a little bit of the crack there that scares me. That's
