Who was your favorite preseason hero in Washington football history?
Transcript
00:00now sometimes preseason heroes that's all it is yeah but i remember a guy you played with and
00:05kind of mentored i believe maybe i'm wrong on that in james thrash yeah ran two kickoff back
00:10like the first preseason game yeah he became the talk he became a hero and he made me get
00:16off my butt and worry martha you know like hell i had one and then he had two of them
00:22i said okay
00:23i better start balling but you know still around james i was going to say james thrash you know
00:28because you watch how he played and the things he did and then he got on the team and he
00:36was still
00:36that electric guy you could do different things with you know and one thing i'll tell you about
00:41james do ask questions he believed in him and when you gave him you talk if you if he was
00:48ever talking
00:49to a guy that was going to give him the wrong information he'd have been going 100 doing the
00:53wrong information because he took what you said and he took it to heart and and that's a dude
01:00draft status ends the first day of camp oh yeah draft status does not matter once guys are getting hit
01:07now can draft status make an impact year two year three on a gm deciding who they're going to keep
01:13who they're going to cut on roster cut down day it does self-preservation league gms generally don't
01:19want to cut their own draft picks especially thursday friday night picks but once players are
01:23out there it's a meritocracy man it's you're going to earn it and if you think about a dude like
01:29james
01:29thrash the size doesn't stand out six foot 200 pounds undrafted guy out of missouri southern
01:37played 12 years in the nfl i can get another one mike sellis sure mike sellis was a kid who
01:46he wasn't old when he went to go play in canada he wasn't old enough to play his mama had
01:51to sign
01:51his uh contract for him wow and then he gets a chance to come play here and normally it's a
01:58guy
01:58who runs a big run a big return did he play in canada before he first arrived here yeah okay
02:03so
02:04when he like normally you see a guy with a big run a big return a big catch something like
02:11that
02:11he was just head knocking people you know what i mean he was destroying folks and they were like
02:17he got to be on the team 275 running as fast as anybody else out there and it was just
02:23just a
02:24wedge was nothing for him sellers walla walla community college goes to canada lands in washington

04:35Darius Geist was a fascinating
04:36How many NFL games
04:39do you believe Darius Geist played?
04:41This is a second round pick
04:42with a ton of talent
04:43Six
04:44Five
04:44Wow
04:45He started one game
04:47This is 2019
04:49The one game he started
04:50was the game that got Ron Rivera fired
04:52because he was dominant
04:53down in Carolina
04:55But I remember
04:56we were in New England
04:58and
05:00we were in New England
05:01for a preseason game
05:03and Geist looked electric
05:05then he went down
05:06and tweaked his knee
05:07and I'll never forget
05:08I see him in the locker room
05:09after I'm like
05:10you good?
05:10He's like
05:11yeah I'm good man
05:12don't worry about it
05:12this is preseason
05:13Sure enough
05:14BCL wasn't it?
05:16Yeah but it wasn't torn
05:17but it was hurt
05:18Yeah
05:18And he had had the knee injuries
05:20at LSU
05:21and then
05:22he missed
05:23he played week one
05:24against Philly
05:25was completely inept
05:27I believe that week one
05:28in Philly was also
05:29Terry McLaurin's breakout
05:31week
05:31week one 19
05:33Big Roy
05:33because that was
05:34that was Gruden's
05:35last year
05:35but the game in Carolina
05:37was like
05:38oh my god
05:38Darius Geist could be something
05:39so
05:40in his five NFL games
05:43week one against Philly
05:4410 carries for 18 yards
05:46did have three catches
05:47for 20 yards
05:49week
05:49then he missed
05:50a ton of time
05:51went on IR
05:52I broke that news
05:53way back in the day
05:54week 11
05:56against the Jets
05:57seven carries
05:58for 24 yards
05:59but he did have a catch
06:00for 45 yards
06:01and a touchdown
06:02week
06:0412
06:04against the Lions
06:05in a game
06:06Washington won
06:07and they didn't win
06:07many games that year
06:0810 for 32
06:10and 1 for 6
06:12but it was

06:1512
06:16in Carolina

06:23this is what we were
06:23looking for
06:24and then he plays again
06:25week 13
06:26against the Packers
06:27five carries
06:2742 yards
06:28IR the rest of the season
