And I am here with my host, my co-host, Joe Haden.

**Joe Haden** (1:24)
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. You good? You good?

**James Harrison** (1:27)
We're gonna jump straight into it because we got our first guest.

**Joe Haden** (1:30)
Yes, sir.

**James Harrison** (1:30)
Things got a little messed up. We'll get back to that later. But right now, we have Mount Washington.

**Joe Haden** (1:39)
Yes, we do.

**James Harrison** (1:39)
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Please welcome to the show my brother.

**Joe Haden** (1:43)
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

**James Harrison** (1:44)
How are you doing today, man?

**Darnell Washington** (1:45)
I'm good, man. Blessed.

**Joe Haden** (1:46)
Yes.

**James Harrison** (1:47)
Yes, you are extremely blessed, man. I think you're going to collect a little bit of money, too, you know. Big congratulations. I wanted to get to know you a little bit better before I asked for some of it, but you know, time is short. So, you know what I'm saying?
Look here, man, I know you talked about, you know, as the year progressed. Actually, just right now, we were talking about it, and you wanted to get your body weight down to a certain number.
And that approach, is that something that you just figured out through the course that you planned that, you know what, you feel better at a certain position, or you're just like, you know what, if I could get lighter, I feel like I'll be able to move better, I'll be more functional, be able to do more at my position.

**Darnell Washington** (2:28)
Yeah, for sure. Definitely, just last year, at some times, I felt a little heavy. So personally, you know, I just want to have a different approach this year.
So, you know, my goal is by regular season, you know, be at a certain weight, and then just keep trying to climb down and just keep trying to get, you know, where my body feels right for me.

**Joe Haden** (2:52)
I'll tell you this, whatever weight you feel comfortable, I think you should be able to play it that way, because when you know when you're being able to move and with your stiff arms and hurling over people, so whatever ways I feel like you can get to do that because you were balling out. But with Mike McCarthy now being an offensive coordinator, what differences does he bring to the offense you think for you?

**Darnell Washington** (3:10)
For me, it's for sure a big difference.
Personally, I never had a head coach in the offensive meeting room. So that's the first big difference I noticed on Rick. And just him being a tight end friendly guy, our OC, you know, he used to coach tight end back in the day too. So I just feel like this whole offense is just a different level compared to last year and years before. Okay. Okay. Yeah, I like that.

**James Harrison** (3:35)
So he's actually in the offensive meetings and he's hands on. I like that. I like that a whole lot.

**Joe Haden** (3:40)
What would you say are your 2026 season goals for you, bro, coming into this year?

**Darnell Washington** (3:47)
Me, I don't like to put numbers on things. I just like to go out there and do, you know, just better, you know, personally just do everything better than what I did last year. So, you know, that's just personally, you know, me, like I say, I don't like to put numbers. So if it's dominated more in the run game or less drops or, you know, more yards, more catches, whatever it may be, so I'm just trying to improve in all the areas that I can. So A-Rod over the quarterback, you know, could trust me and, you know, just depend on me. You know, I just want to be one of those guys.
