Former Washington Redskins TE Rick “Doc” Walker was once again on a roll, Saturday.
Walker was a guest on the most recent episode of the Kevin Sheehan Podcast, and he was hilarious! Here is the link to the entire episode.
Doc played for Joe Gibbs and Joe Bugel, and he is not afraid to speak his mind about winning in the NFL. He is also a very good listener, and he didn’t disappoint this time either.
Here are a few select quotes from Doc.
- “The kid (Saquon Barkley) scored on their first play of the game! And yet, it wasn’t a kill shot. And I still believe if Ekeler doesn’t lose the ball, you can’t convince me we aren’t still in it to the very end.”
- “I’m irritated as hell because I know this team will never be the same. Because you will never have the same circumstances, the hunger, and you will never catch people off guard.”
- “I mean, people looked at this team, ‘This is Rivera’s team; this team is scum.’ Now they are going to dream about you, they are going to prepare for you. Anytime, anywhere, all that stuff, now they are all locked in. That’s the way it goes.”
- “We won with a super-human individual and a spirit and that can carry you a long way. But in the end, I’d rather just be boring, methodical and just grind you to death. And I think our team will take on more of that personality for the upcoming season.”
- “I’d rather be the bully, I’d rather be unimaginative. I’d rather you think I am boring. But like Philly, I am bigger and stronger. I can maul you. There’s nothing you can do about it, you’re defenseless because I don’t have to trick you.”
- “I don’t want to be dependent on hocus pocus. I want 3rd & 1 to be automatic. For us you got to hold your breadth. You got to hope some guy (Jayden Daniels) pulls a rabbit out of a hat. That is too risky.”
- “If you overpay someone (defensive lineman) and they don’t require a double team, the joke is on you. Anybody that wants a bag (of money) better be able to demand a double, or I am kicking his ass out of the office.”
- “Our guy (Jayden Daniels) to be a puppy is going up to the Westminster Show, and he is winning all the ribbons. Usually, we never get that guy. We are always the one that overpays and gets a junker. We’re the guys that get fleeced. We’re the suckers.”
- “Finally, you get Peters (Adam), DQ (Dan Quinn), and even more importantly to me, the strength of our organization is our assistant coaches. This is one of the best teaching group of individuals I have ever been around. Because they took Coach Dumb-Dumb’s people, dumped all of them d____ near, flipped the team, and they are going without two years of draft picks, and had one of the best seasons they have ever had.”
