Do it? Good do it. We asked 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.120 the questions you always want to know, but no one 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:29.560 ever asked, let's cut to it. You ain't heard about it, 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:38.879 then we're about to let you know. It's all how 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.640 you know we are going into Super Bowl week? What 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:45.400 are the keys to victory for the Cincinnati Bengals. They've 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.400 they've invested two hundred and thirty million dollars in their defense. 0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.840 They've done except and you can see their return there 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.760 are I return there on their investment on defense is 0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:59.120 coming back there the way they shut down? Uh King Henry. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.240 Yes he wasn't, but that man ain't a tiptoe er. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.920 Now he was still even though he wasn't a hundred percent, 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.240 he was still he was dropping a load on some flash. 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.920 A different dynamic. He has a different dynamic. They played 0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:15.640 you have him ye a Woozier. Um, he was a 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.520 free agent from the Cowboys. Um. They decided to go 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.800 over to Anthony Brown. The Cowboys, and you can see 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:26.479 a Wooziers paying dividends for that investment for the Cowboys 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:32.080 and letting him walk. Um. Jesse based the third All Star. 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.559 He's all Star. He's a guy. He's he's he's making plays. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:38.040 He's also he gets his head in the game so 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.240 much that he's not afraid to get ran over. And 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.920 he will get ran over a few times, but he 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.160 shows up every plane. He's not afraid he'll pick one off. 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:47.600 He will. So it's very smart. Um. From the shoulders up, Um, 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.000 i q A football is outstanding from the shoulders down, 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.960 it's it's it's remarkable as well. And so what are 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.160 your keys to the game for the Los Angeles Rams? 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:05.120 Los Angeles Rams? Uh? In their defense, maintain their dominance. Uh, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:11.600 Floyd Donald and Von Miller cannot have cannot have an 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:15.480 off day. UM got my guy back. Who I saw 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.840 him at the Rose Bowl. We were chit chatting and 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.799 talking and then now he's playing right. So that's that's 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.240 pretty remarkable. That's awesome. Uh. I love what you know. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.519 You have to address that that the elephant in the 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:31.880 room is look at the explosiveness and um getting a 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.560 man Uh, taking those handcuffs off and allowing him to 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.880 be the Odell Beckham that we we we've loved to 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.880 see that makes the the spectacular grabs, that makes the 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.360 yards after catch. He's playing well and you got him 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:50.600 with Cooper cups things a whole lot different. You could 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.959 call him emmony and ivory. You can call him hot 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:57.000 chocolate and and and marshmallows brick. Hey, them brothers are 0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.840 singing a good song and a great combination. Right. It's 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.760 awesome right just watching them play. But you know, Matthew 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.560 Stafford is battling a lot of injuries. The Rams have 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.399 had some injuries. Uh you know a little bit with 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:12.440 with Worth and some of those guys on offense line. 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.519 But they're playing great and uh can make him coming back. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.520 He's been a spark plug. So there you have it. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.880 Those are the keys to victory for Super Bowl fifty six. 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:28.400 Let's happened and you ordered to me?

Now. I appreciate you guys having 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.600 me yard if I'm glad I'm finally having an opportunity 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.200 and having the privilege to be Yard. I can't believe 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.839 that you had My Colles might go to Junior before me. 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.080 But that's a story for another day. We'll have to 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:48.200 get that straight. That's my fault, Chris. I'm sorry you ran. 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:50.599 You ran into that one on your We weren't gonna 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:53.520 weren't with the That's what's up, man. I mean, listen, 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.880 I can't say enough good things about what you've done 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.560 in your post playing career, not only the stuff that 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.880 you're doing the sports media, but the stuff that you're 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.679 doing the community, man, and just that leadership that you've shown, 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:09.760 that you've demonstrated, um is something to be admired and 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.080 it's something that's also inspiring for the next generation of 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.960 athletes following behind you. Well, I appreciate it, bro, I 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.880 appreciate it. Man. Let's get let's let's let's get to 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:23.080 the fun stuff. Man. So if you had one extra 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.480 hour a free time a day, how would you use it? 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.719 I use it to workout because I need to start 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.080 getting back into working out. It's hard for me to 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.719 get motivated to work out when it's not a check 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.960 on the other end of it. And with the twenty 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.320 four hours that I have between the business ventures that 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.360 I got going on and then the sports media stuff 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.479 making sure that I'm on top of the latest news 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.640 and notes from around the sports world. UM, it just 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.880 doesn't seem like I have enough time. Also, just got 0:05:52.880 --> 0:06:00.440 engaged or you got appreciate, appreciated. It's going it down 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:07.200 in August and Chicago finally settled down a wonderful woman. Um. 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.720 I also got to invest in that relationship too. So 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.240 it's just like it doesn't seem like there's enough hours 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.680 in the day to get everything that I need to 0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.400 get done. And so the one part that's kind of 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:20.039 falling off since I stopped playing is making sure that 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.359 I'm regularly in the gym. So if I had an 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.320 extra hour every day, absolutely put that toward working out. Man. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.599 I I just think that man, when you work out 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.040 and you push yourself through it and you're forced to 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:38.240 do it. Man, when you have that that freedom, you 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:44.279 just go, no, I'm good, you just go. Then something 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:53.720 then something happens, like the mirror hit you that you 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:59.880 got that mirror coming you look, you go, oh, I 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.360 just ain't what I used to be. And then you 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:06.280 get Then you get on the scale for further confirmation 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:11.000 that scales say you fat boy, Yeah that's what got 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.720 because you know I'm six eight, so you know I 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.480 can stretch, Yeah, stretch. You think you can stretch ahead? 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.880 I think, I think. But when I stepped on that 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.760 scale and I saw a number, and going back to 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:28.080 last year when we were in the middle of the pandemic, 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:31.360 I saw a number that I've never seen before. I 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.920 was like, wait a minute, dog, I was like those 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:38.360 pandemic snaps different, yes, exactly. Like it's one thing to 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:40.800 be in the Three Hunters, but when you start being 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.720 on the other side of three fifty, that's when I realized. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.360 I was like, all right, we gotta problem. We gotta 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.360 scale this thing way back. Hey bro, I got up 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.960 to three. I got up to two too. I got 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:56.400 up to to fifteen. Yeah, and I'm five nine, So 0:07:56.520 --> 0:08:02.040 to fifteen on five nine. You you out here looking 0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:12.640 like Maurice Jones. Leave my dog alone, man, leave stop it. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.680 So I got love for dog too. That's why I 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:20.560 can keep it one h always love. Don't like that. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:29.280 I don't like that. That's always loved. Alright, alright, let's 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.560 move on. We've digressed. Hey man, what are you most 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:38.640 grateful for right now? I'm most grateful for the relationship 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:40.480 that I'm in right now, Like this is a new 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.880 chapter for me, getting engaged and Q chapter mel Melon. 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:48.200 I have been together for four years now, and just 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.240 it felt like this was the official start to my 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:57.600 life after football, like meeting her and courting her and 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.360 then just the growth that I've seen in her and 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.840 the growth that I've seen in myself. Um, I'm grateful 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.440 for that. Man, I'm grateful for that. I'm grateful for 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.719 my family. Everybody in my immediate family made it through 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.440 the pandemic. You know, I know we're still kind of 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.520 dealing with a couple of variants, but everybody is healthy, 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.839 everybody's good, you know, all blessings on that front. Man. 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.720 And that's not something that I take for granted, because 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.319 there are a lot of friends, a lot of former 0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.960 teammates who lost family members at various points during the pandemic. 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.720 And so I think that's that's been one of those 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:35.319 things that's kind of gave me a new level of 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:40.120 appreciation for just you know, health and strength and being 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.880 able to to love on the people that you care 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:45.640 about the most in this world, not missing those opportunities, 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:47.760 trying not to get wrapped up when you follow up 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.040 after what you just said and how you said it, 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.760 and how you you know what you said is is 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.040 sometimes we feel like we have to follow us something, 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.520 you know, you try to. I'm just going back on 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.200 my career and just seeing people of that I enjoyed, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:06.120 but then also like some bug a booze or like 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.800 pet Peeves, and I think in the locker room a 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:13.680 lot of times it happens the one upper right, because 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:17.320 you know and so and so the way he said, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.080 I just I kind of went backwards, something like, Man, 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.520 I don't want to be that. So I'm I'm grateful 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:25.200 for life, right. I think that's that's plenty, right, like 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.160 being great because there's a lot of people who maybe 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.160 woke up and they didn't have that today. Yeah. Yeah, 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.200 I just just after he said it, like I just 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.880 going back in the cliche thing. Nah, but I just 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.760 with with Chris is right now. With Chris is so 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:43.360 different because we'll get into the football aspect. Man, me 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.640 and Chris were teammates at the right time, at the 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.920 right moment, with the right perspective. Right, our perspective was 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:56.880 so we were so unapologetic on our pursuit of being 0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.680 a Raven and being a bully and plane and establishing 0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:04.360 ourselves but also raising our level of expectation because Troy 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.920 was still playing at the time, Troy Polamalu, right, Big 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:12.520 Bend was Big Ben. They had some good players. And 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.040 that was my first time in Baltimore as a Raven, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.240 and I and and so much had transpired leading up 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.800 to that of me proving myself as a Raven proving 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.160 myself as still you know, a thirty six, thirty seven 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.800 year old player. And Chris has known me for a 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:34.560 long time, played against me, known me, and it was like, well, 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.240 how much does he have left in the tank? And 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:42.120 Chris like Chris, Hello, d uh doom. There's a few 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.960 guys that they were like, you understand what we got. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:48.000 And then there were some guys that like doubted me, 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.360 like y'all bet all right, y'all, y'all gonna doubt, y'all 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.840 gonna doubt Smithy're gonna see him. You're gonna find out 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.880 real quick. And so we'll get into later talking ball 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.400 on that. Because I had to establish my physics county 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:05.240 and stabs myself very early. But I also fell into 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:13.200 some mont Cheesemo, some some guy interaction that even in Baltimore, 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.000 it took him back a little bit. And and Hellot 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.960 and Chris like some of those guys saw a part 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.920 of me. They were like, see, I told you, y'all 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:28.000 didn't poke the wrong Bann. No, that's true, that's true. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:31.240 But we do go way back. I mean even to 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.440 when I was in college and you were with the 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.520 Carolina Pathers. My parents still called the Charlotte Community Home, 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.800 and so I had an opportunity to get to know 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.640 Smitty before I even got into the league. And then 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.120 my early days with the Dallas Cowboys. I remember you 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.320 used to invite me out to your annual golf outing. Um. 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.480 But just the way that you carried yourself and the 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:57.160 classes that you you exhibited, but then the dog that 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.319 you had on the field, Like I was just like, 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.840 if there's anybody that's doing this the right way in 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.480 terms of being a top competitor but also being a 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.520 stalwart in the community that Steve Smith like that that 0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:12.719 was that was who he was. And so when he 0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:17.800 decided to to come to the Baltimore Ravens after his 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.200 time with the Carolina Panthers, I was like, I know 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:24.760 exactly what we're getting getting somebody that that embodies all 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.960 of the things that we were proud to have on 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.960 the defensive side of the ball, like the mentality in 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:33.640 Baltimore with that organization, it's always been defense, it's always 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:37.080 been rugged, it's always been dogs, and that was the 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.880 element that we didn't have on that offensive side of 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:42.800 the ball. The Ravens lost that when they lost an 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.640 Kwan Bolder and so when they got Steve's when we 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.240 got Steve Smith, like it was like, okay, now we're 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.600 back on. Like that's why we were in the playoffs 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.600 because we had that identity on both sides of the ball. Yeah, 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:59.880 it was, I mean from day one, Shocky Brown remember that, 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:05.040 Oh I remember Say Brown had the hardware, had to 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.080 learn the hardware. If anybody knows, you know, if you 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:15.679 know football, there Big ten, Big twelve Man, Mountain, West 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:22.640 Pac ten Pac twelve, Like we're considered the cousin. Right, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:24.920 we were in the family of football, but we're really 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.160 not respected and rightfully so looking at the bowl season 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.440 this year, like we literally only had I think we 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.640 are owing five right in bowls for Pact twelve, so 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:38.520 we weren't. We are not really looked at as a yeah, 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.640 we're not right. But Shocky Brown, who We're good. Now 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.160 we're cool. We were actually in a buddy of former 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.200 teammates wedding together. But man, we get there and Shocky's 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:54.000 a Texas dude, right, I'm talking about He's he went 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:58.840 to Texas physicality all that stuff, and Shocky was was 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.560 he was a talker, but he wasn't. All football players 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.640 are talkers, right, there. They jabbed, they talked, They they're funny, 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:12.520 but they also extremely competitive, right, vinegar and water. When 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.160 it comes to competitive when they're in Baltimore, they keep 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:19.200 it really competitive, like they keep counting and man, me 0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.440 and Shocky used to go at it. And I would 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:24.000 come in and you've heard a lot of teammates I 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.400 come in and in Baltimore, I had like I knew 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.520 I had to earn my stripes. There was a question 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:34.080 mark of can old dude still play? And I came 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:37.840 in and Shocky tried me, and uh Ladarius tried me. 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.560 There was a few dudes when I say tried me, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.600 We're sitting there and they would be in the cafeteria 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.680 and just to say something, what you're doing today, old man? 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:52.760 And I used to always time I say, listen, you 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:57.080 can press me. Just don't hit me in my face 0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.960 mask remember in the in the calf don't hit me 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.280 in my face. Man, Ninja, what you're gonna do if 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.200 I hit you in your face? I'm just telling you, 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.720 I'm not gonna waste my eggs today. When I'm telling 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.720 me when we get on that already prepping over over breakfast, right, 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.520 And that's how it was Baltimore was. It was challenging 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.680 when you walked in the room, when you walked in 0:16:18.760 --> 0:16:21.520 the facility, you better be on your piece and ques 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.880 your game will be challenged. And so we would just 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.400 go at it and show its Ladarius. It was a 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:29.680 lot of those guys. They would challenge me, sis, who's 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.400 my locker made? Man? They're talking about blah blah blah. 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.600 Let me see what you got today? Eight nine? What 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:39.760 you got? And so it's scissors. I'm in the middle. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:44.320 Scissors to the right. Knthy is one over? Doom was 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:50.240 over there too, was over there, Elvis Doomerville, Um, hello 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:54.160 Ti nada Um? Who else? Who else was? Who else 0:16:54.240 --> 0:17:00.120 was who? On Park Avenue? Oh Jimmy Jimmy smithe he 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:04.919 was a lot of money on that. It was I 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:06.240 just I was like, wait a minute, I got I 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.400 got a simmer with that with that metaphor. Shoot, you'll 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:14.160 probably about four hundred million dollars worth the earnest on there. 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.000 Like Helloi was in his third contract. I was on 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:22.600 my third or fourth contract. Six man, you know he 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.720 was on his third. It was a third or four. 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:28.160 It will hold bunch of us. It was shoot, I'm 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:33.040 telling you probably you'll probably half a billion dollars worth 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.840 the on that on there. But you know what's funny, 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.399 Smithy you say that, But the way we went to work, 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:41.960 we set the toe. You would have never you would 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:43.800 have never known it. It was like it was like 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.600 there was a lot of money, but guys grinded like 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.879 we were on our rookie deals, like we were still 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.040 trying to prove. The outlier was Shocky Brown, That's what 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:55.280 it was. That was shot bround. He was. He was 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.919 like trade Stree. He was over there, bro No, he 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:04.119 was like public Works was probably sat James for right, 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:11.359 I probably like st James right right. So he's sitting 0:18:11.400 --> 0:18:14.520 there and so in practice, so he hit. He hits 0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:20.400 me in my face mask and I said something and 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:27.080 Spaggs was a dB coach at the time, spack noah, 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.280 And I said something to him. I said, yo, you 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.359 guy hit me and Spags looked at me. Chris looked 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.399 at me. I was like, you ain't gonna do nothing. 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:41.080 I he Chris saw, look at my eye. This is 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.240 a middle train. He saw, look at my eye. I 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.200 walked over there and I said, y'all, I'm fucked up 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:51.160 now and walked back I put my red mouth piece 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:56.879 in my mouth, button up my chin strap. The next play, 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:04.840 we had to break down into wire receivers and DB's blocking, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:09.119 and a wide receiver was the running back. The receiver 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:15.680 was the blocker corner. So I go up to go 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:22.720 but uh, oklahoma drip, Yes, I go up. But one 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.360 of the guys that was supposed to go up was 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.640 a guy respected right he and I was like, man, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:32.520 I'm not in the right frame of mind, and Shocky says, no, 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:41.080 don't worry about a dog. I'll go next. Right here 0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:45.560 we go. We lined up, strap up, put my mouth 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:49.000 piece in my mouth. Bobby Ingram heck the wire receivers coach, 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:55.439 Now he's the Titans coach. Blows the whistle. We run boom. 0:19:55.480 --> 0:20:00.399 After we hit, Shocky helmet pops up. Now how does 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:02.880 Chris No? First of all, it's buzzing around there. That 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.800 Steve is hot. He's on a tangent. Then they also 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:11.119 watched it as a unit, and the coaches on the 0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.760 iPad rewatched it because you know what happened after we collided. 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.439 Guess what Shocky did not know we was about to do. 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.480 What do you think we did? I mean, if this 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.920 Oklahoma drial. He probably mad, right you are you ready 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:26.240 to scrap? Okay, tell him what I did. Right after 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.639 we hit collided, Shocky pulls down his helmet. What did 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.400 I do? You just let him know what it was. 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:38.880 I started boxing him. Literally, boom boom, boot started hitting him. 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:45.760 Oh that's right. Helpt pops up, helmet pops up. He 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.800 puts it down. And now I'm throwing haymakers underneath his 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:54.000 chin strap and he's Paul's eating them. That that's right. 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.760 Because we got back in the locker room. I remember 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.840 we got back in the locker room because he got 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:02.080 back about all we He com back saying was that 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.520 that Mr. T Line, I pity the fool, And you 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:07.040 just kept saying that about Brown. You got pity the 0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:10.720 food by Steve Smith. But see here the other that 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.320 you got. He got pity the food by by by 0:21:13.359 --> 0:21:15.919 Steve Smith. But but I think in that moment he 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.479 was Agent eighty nine. So what you gotta understand, like 0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:22.200 with Steve like he's got split personalities. It's like three 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.960 or four different Steve Smith like you no no disrespect. 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:30.600 They they none of them are offended. Right now, I'm 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:38.560 not Steve. There's Mr Smith, there's the Smitty and then 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.679 there's Agent eighty nine, and in that moment it was 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.280 Agent eighty nine. When you put that mouthpiece in, it 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:49.560 was something August Man. Here's the thing. I knew how 0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.840 it was gonna end. Shocky Brown didn't. But what Steve 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:57.000 didn't tell you was Shocky was always one of those 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.080 dudes that was popping off in the locker room. Was 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:03.200 we felt like, and as veteran players, were like, Okay, 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:05.840 that's cool, but you're doing a lot of talking and 0:22:05.880 --> 0:22:08.680 we're not seeing the production. So we wanted to let 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.800 it play out because we felt like this would be 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.679 a lesson for Shocky so we can learn, so he 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.480 could be a more productive player and help us win. 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:22.359 Like this was a means too and there for us. Yeah, yeah, 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:25.280 SIS knew what's gonna happen, Like in other words, we 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:27.239 can show you better than we can tell you. But 0:22:27.280 --> 0:22:29.640 the problem, the problem, See we had to but see 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:35.439 we had told him that the ball, you gotta go 0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:37.800 out there ball, but when you pop off, you're gonna 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:40.960 run up on the wrong one and you're gonna learn today. 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.400 And that's exactly what I talked. Here's the problem, though, 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:46.960 No boys talking to me off the ledge because it 0:22:47.000 --> 0:22:48.760 was gonna go. It was going down in the locker 0:22:48.840 --> 0:22:51.920 room till this day, which is is sad and I'm 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.600 not saying in a bragging way. Shocky was sitting in 0:22:54.640 --> 0:23:00.000 his locker in full uniform. Remember he had his helmet 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.280 own because I told him they coach is like, hey, 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.760 y'all taking the locker room. Since said no, coach with 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:12.639 since like don't know, we we gotta keep practicing. Yeah, Bro, 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:17.200 I sat. They literally hello, the few of them is like, man, 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:21.280 keep it out of the locker room. Because Shocky was 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:23.600 sitting in his locker with his pass on because he 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:27.639 expected what I expected. It was gonna go there. It 0:23:27.720 --> 0:23:30.199 was gonna be as we say, it was not a 0:23:30.200 --> 0:23:33.159 little bit. It was gonna be a whole bunch of 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:37.359 furniture moving and and sins. Actually it was one since 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:39.600 like don't do it, bro, because I was at the 0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:44.119 point I was on red. I had the cold to 0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.720 the new button and I was pushing it and the 0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:51.120 boys like, don't do it. You already got two strikes, Steve, 0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:56.040 don't and we said we literally he sat, you want 0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:00.240 to see get put behind the wall. Oh it was 0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:06.480 gold as the season went on. Shocky's biggest encouragement, his 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:12.199 biggest cheerleader was me when he made a play. I 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:16.480 was the first person to let him know. It took 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:19.920 me probably about three or four weeks, because I actually 0:24:20.000 --> 0:24:22.760 was so hot. I had put him in my phone. 0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.600 I had a little I had put a reminder on 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.800 my phone. I said, moving forward, Now, bro, when when 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:35.119 you check in, I'm putting you on notice my goal 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:41.080 on Monday, whooped? Shock, He's asked. Wednesday, whoop? Shock, He's 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.560 ask And I had actually put it in my calendar 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:48.159
