I think you don't name-drop specific teammates. He could have stopped after saying Chase was great...or simply added that he had confidence in their defense

I tend to agree with 'Bug, not much in the realm of trash talk.

Devon Witherspoon is a rookie, with a huge test coming up. Gotta build up that confidence. He has started moving inside and outside and is really playing pretty well. I imagine the plan, based on DK, is for Witherspoon to match up on chase as much as possible.
Anyway, if namedropping Witherspoon is trash talking by DK, it’s likely negated with his praise as well “ He’s just a great receiver. Tip my hat off to him with what he’s done the first 3 years in the league.”

If this is trash talk then everyone on this board should have their first amendment rights revoked and thrown in prison. All he said was "I think Spoon will get the best of him." Lol

To be fair, this probably IS trash talk to all the snowflakes out there who can't handle anything but nice words and soft voices.

Now when Chase gives your secondary 100 and 2 touchdowns you better buy them an apology gift

Witherspoon was a great prospect in the draft. He and Gonzalez were probably my favorite out of the group.
Witherspoon has been playing well already to start his career, but he gets to go against a Top 5 WR in Chase.
I do think there will be some give and take.
Chase will get a few good catches I think, but I don't think it will be dominance the entire game.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Not trash talk at all lol
More like class talk from DK here.
Spoon is a good player, but he is a rookie, we will see if he can handle Chase Sunday, doubt it honestly.

Weak for some trash talk! But athletes will hold onto anything so hopefully this gives the wideouts a boost.

I know it happens a lot in the NFL, but I always find it kind of funny when a player like DK speaks for someone like Spoon on a topic like this. I'm sure that publicly Spoon would say the exact same thing.
But I wonder if internally he's perhaps a bit unhappy that they are giving Chase even more motivational fuel to play his behind off this week.
No way after this Chase gets handled by a rookie

Completely agree, better just give Chase as much praise as possible and not say anything else. Chase will use anything, even this
as Pally just said he retweeted it. Put some pressure on Spoon here is all DK did. The only Corner I think that can say anything in
the league right now is probably Denzel Ward and he doesn't talk. Wish he did.

Like I said… earlier and chase just said now.
“He ain’t doing nothing but praising his teammate,” Chase said, via Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “That’s what he’s supposed to do. At the end of the day, it’s about game-time reps and game-time decisions. He’s gonna get the opportunity to get his matchup and we’ll see who wins that matchup.”
