Very detailed answer from new #Commanders DC Daronte Jones on a question from @JPFinlayNBCS... how much of Brian Flores' aggressive scheme will he bring to Washington?

I interviewed new #Commanders DC Daronte Jones last year on NFL Spotlight:
"I always tell players — especially defensive backs — they all want to get paid. 'Well you're not getting paid if you don't touch the ball.'"

It wasn’t the shield on NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller’s chest that motivated him to go toward the danger on the fateful evening he was murdered, but his heart beneath. It was also this heart that was clearly filled with love — made clear by the inspiring remarks of his courageous wife. Jonathan was a guardian of NYC, and now a guardian at the gates of heaven. Together we must #NeverForget.
I’d like to share an eloquent message I received from Southampton Village Police Officer Keghilian after he returned from today’s funeral service.
“It’s unfortunate, but the usual overwhelming show of support from law enforcement and being in awe of the well-executed ceremony is a given. What was extraordinary today was the fallen Officer's spouse, Stephanie Diller's eulogy, and the courage she showed today. Had she sat quietly and melted in her pew during the church service and sleepwalked through the day, wishing the nightmare of having to endure her husband’s funeral would just end, nobody would have blamed her. Given her circumstance as a young widow with a one-year-old boy, it probably would have been expected. Instead, she stood at that podium and eulogized her husband. Something I never have recalled happening in my career. In addition, she reiterated the effects of the personal tragedy this criminal caused by his senseless act. For that moment, she was the strongest person in the room and gave all who were there to carry her through the day a lift. In addition, she herself, very eloquently without raising her voice, screamed at the top of her lungs how policy has failed our police and that cops count and cops matter. She left no doubt she is just as brave an individual as anyone in attendance, including her deceased husband.“
Wow, this is POWERFUL!
As a player, your confidence cannot be taken away, but you can give it away.
Outside ppl cannot take away:
• How hard you’ll work.
• How good a day you’re going to have.
• What type of attitude you’re going to have.

Wow! A group of guys in Westerly save a seagull that got a plastic bag stuck around its neck. One of the guys tells me the bag wouldn’t budge and became ‘like a rope’ so they had to cut it off before freeing the bird. More @ 11 @NBC10 (ctsy- Raf Brown)
