28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,200

29
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,240

30
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,679

32
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: again the second time, so it was at home too,

33
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,399

34
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: was it was hard, man Like. It was a lot

35
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: of uncomfortable days. Man Like, I remember that first month

36
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 2: like it's a lot of tiers, like lot of teers,

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: because you know, you you get to such a high

38
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: pinnacle of like where you want to get the year

39
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: before and right, you just want to build off of that,

40
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 2: and then now you go, you fall back to the floor.

41
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: Now you got to go get it all over again. So,

42
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: man like, it was hard because obviously the season last

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: year didn't go to where I wanted it to, and

44
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: then I wasn't out there and I felt really helpless,

45
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: you know, like part of me is like I want

46
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: to I want to go out there and do what

47
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 2: I can to help it, right, and then when you can't,

48
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: you got to it down. It's just like it's tough, man.

49
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: But I tried to beat as much as I could

50
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: for the guys, But I also took that time for myself, man,

51
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: to recalibrate and just really get after it.

52
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Man.

53
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: I really didn't have an off season last year. I

54
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: went straight from playing to surgery to I was in

55
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: pt and working out every day because I didn't know

56
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: what this year was gonna be like for me, man,

57
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: And I was like the toughest part about it. It was

58
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: like the unknown factor of like are the team's gonna

59
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: see me as this or are the new people coming there?

60
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: Or like I'm going off injury, how are they gonna

61
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: feel about it? Like? Yeah, man, it was challenging. Man,

62
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 2: it was a different spot for sure.

63
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: What gets you through that uncertainty because you already had

64
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: a full career for some people, right and some people

65
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: can't bounce back from an injury like that. What gets

66
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: you through all of that down, all that uncertainty?

67
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: You know, my mom used to say she wrote in

68
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: that letter that I read, I read every game before

69
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: I left for college. She says, you know, you never

70
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: let anybody put any limitations on you. So right, Like

71
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: God gave me this test, right, it was something that

72
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 2: he said, Okay, I've given you everything, now make it

73
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: away and see how you react. It's the same as

74
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: how you handle job. Right, So like I lost everything

75
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: in that moment? How am I going to respond? Am

76
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: I going to keep my faith? And I'm not going

77
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: to keep my persistence and keep going every day? And

78
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 2: that was it. Man. It's just like, okay, this is

79
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: another task I gotta calm over, Like how we're gonna

80
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 2: do it? Let's do it.

81
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: And you're a very hungry, self motivated guy. Then you

82
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: have an injury like that. How much more motivation did

83
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: something like that give to all pro revo? Ah?

84
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: Man, it gave me everything. Right, Like I said, you

85
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: get to like the height of where you want to

86
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: be in like your professional career, personal goals wise, right,

87
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: like you're all pro, you're pro bowler, Like you solidify

88
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: yourself as one of the best in the league at

89
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: what you do, right, and then you fall back down

90
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: to the mountain again. Now you got to remember what

91
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: it was like to get it back again.

92
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Right.

93
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: So it's like you get everything and you lose it again,

94
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: and now you got to call back to get it again.

95
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: And that's what it was. Man, it was just it

96
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: was crazy. I said this when I was talking to

97
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: be Mitch and Santana. I was like, I'm comfortable there.

98
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: I'm comfortable at the floor because I've been there for

99
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: so long, right, So, like I didn't know what it

100
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: felt like to be at the top of the mountain.

101
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: I'm used to being at the bottom and just crashing

102
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: the scar on. So when I got there, I'm like, oh, yeah,

103
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: we back and were back at what we know, so like,

104
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: let's get it. So I just went back to the

105
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: basis of what I do. I went home, I went

106
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: back to everything that I was familiar with, and I said,

107
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: I like, we about to lock in, Like no excuses.

108
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 2: I'm not feeling sorry for myself. I don't want nobody

109
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: else to like, yeah, we get into it.

110
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: And that determination paid off because again, you don't you

111
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: even said it. You're like, are people even going to

112
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: know that I'm the same guy or people going to

113
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: be able to believe in me? Am I going to

114
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: get another shot? And now only do you get another

115
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: shot back here? But it's with the new coaching staff,

116
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: new GM. These are guys that did not have you

117
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: in the building last year, but they wanted you back.

118
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: They gave you a little bag for it too. And

119
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: what does that do for you?

120
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: He said, You're always at the bottom, right, but these

121
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: guys held you up at the top and they held

122
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 3: you to a high esteem.

123
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: What was that like, Because that's a little different for you.

124
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: It was different, man. Like I'll say, like when going

125
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: into free agency, right, I pretty much got to the

126
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 2: point where I was like almost fully healthy right now now,

127
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: it was just like the maintenance of it. Just remember

128
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: the most the most, you know, standout thing that I

129
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: had during that process was I got it. I got

130
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: a call from a p d Q right during free

131
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,239
Speaker 2: agency and they called me like this is before fency

132
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: even started.

133
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: And it's like a group called both of them.

134
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: I'm on the phone with both of them. Mind you,

135
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: I've never been in a situation where like I've been

136
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: valued enough to where it was like the GM and

137
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: the head coach a calling you like, look, Revo, look hey,

138
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: we know you adult, right. We love what you do,

139
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: we love who you are as a player, we love

140
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,520

00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 2: bring to the team into the building, We want you back.

142
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: What can we do around here to make it better?

143
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 2: And I just sat back after I got after that call,

144
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: and I said, I called my age. I said, Yo,

145
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: whatever you gotta do, man, make it happen. I'm trying

146
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: to come back and play for these dudes. Wow, Because

147
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: it was it was a very you know, profound thing

148
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: to me, right, Like I had never had somebody take

149
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: that initiative, because you know, oftentimes, you know, special teams,

150
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: guys could be viewed differently, you know, around the league.

151
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: And the fact that they had taken that initiative to say, look,

152
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: you're one of our dudes. We want you to be

153
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: one of our dudes. Man, it spoke volume to me, man,

154
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: and I got themost love and respect for them because

155
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: they've been consistent from that point all the way up

156
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: into where we are today. They haven't changed who they are,

157
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: what they bring to the table, how they approach every day,

158
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: how they interact with every guy on the roster from

159
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: Peace Squad all the way up to like your starting eleven.

160
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,840

Speaker 3: right through the door you heard Dad, we're talking about

168
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: the importance of special teams. Then they show that by

169
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: bringing in a guy like Larry Izzo, you know, ex player,

170

Speaker 2: all right, I bet yeah. We look at it like

187

Speaker 2: first people I met when I got into the building

193
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: and signed that day, and like the first thing he

194

199
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,560

200
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: of that man. And he just lets me be me.

201
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: He lets me play how I play, and he lets

202
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: me play aggressive, and he lets me go hunt the

203
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: ball and like that's what we're here to do at

204
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: end of the day.

205
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: And it's not just the coaching staff, it's no, it's

206
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: the front office is starting to realize who you are

207
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: as a player. You tweeted it out, man, Even the

208

00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: a long time, right, I've been here. This is my

221

Speaker 2: seventh year in the league. I've been here pretty much

222
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,840

Speaker 2: like I've been I've seen it all here pretty much.

226
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: And so like we went through some some some grindy

227
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: days early on, right, Like we went through the mark

228
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 2: early on, man, and it was tough, and it was

229
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: it was it was hard, right, and like a lot

230
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: of those guys watched it, right, So just to see

231
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 2: the transition to be a part of the whole thing

232
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: with them right there and not to see where we're building,

233
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 2: where we're becoming now, it's just like it's dope, man,

234
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: because everybody's been a part of it. So like they're

235
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: an extension of me and I'm an extension of them, right,

236
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: So like it's dope, man. It's a cool feeling just

238
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 2: those smiles on those faces, man, and just you know,

239
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: they both have it. We both have an appreciation for

240
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 2: each other what they've done and then what we're trying

241
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: to do, right, So like it's cool, man. Like it's

242
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 2: a blessing to be able to have those guys accessible

243
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: like that too, because you just pick up without a

244
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: game from without even talking to them a lot.

245
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 3: And you're not just an extension of the guys that

246
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: have been here and played here before, you're also the

247
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 3: extension of what's going on here now. You were nominated

248
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 3: as our Salutor service nominee here and just like me,

249
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: you grew up with two military parents.

250
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Man.

251
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: Just talk about getting that designation, getting that honor from

252
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: your team, being chosen by your team and your peers.

253
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: What does that mean to you?

254
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: Oh, man, it's a blessing. Man, Like, I don't take

255
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 2: any award lightly, but especially from my peers in the

256
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: building who I'm around every day. Because at the end

257
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: of the day, right, Like you get stuff from the media,

258
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: like they don't see you on a day to day basis,

259
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: But these guys are around me every day, so they

260
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: see me in every face. Right. But my biggest thing

261
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: is when I come into a building, I try to

262
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: be the same face and the same person every day.

263
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: I try to be the same motivator, and I try

264
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 2: to be the same leader every day, right, And so

265
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: like for them to recognize that and you know, put

266
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: me out there. Man, I think it goes much deeper

267
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: than bold, right, A lot of building a great organization,

268
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: to being a part of a great team is not

269
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: just about what you do in the field. It's about

270
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: what you do off the field and who you bring

271
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: along with you. Right, Like, if I can leave this

272
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: place better than I found it when I'm done right

273
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: and I don't get another accomplishment again, I'm cool with it, man,

274
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: I'm good with that.

275
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 3: You're well on your way to that, man, and you

276
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 3: talk about growing up military, man, how has that affected

277
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 3: who you are today?

278
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: Man?

279
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 3: All these things you've been to, all the triale's repulations

280
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: coming off of ACL injury. I know, growing up military

281
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: is very very different than a lot of people know.

282
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: Talk about that a little bit.

283
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 2: Man, dude. It's like you learn structure, right, you learn discipline,

284
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: and then you learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. Right.

285
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: That's that's the biggest thing that taught me, man, and

286
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 2: it prepped me my entire adult life. Right because as

287
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 2: a kid, like I had parents and I was very fortunate, right,

288
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: I had both parents had great jobs. So, like, I

289
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: didn't go through a lot of adversity growing up as

290
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: a kid. In my adulthood, when I got into the

291
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: real world is when I went through it. Right, Like college,

292
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: I go through college, I go undrafted. All right, Now,

293
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: I got to figure out how to go about it.

294
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: You got to learn. You gotta fall back to your fundamentals.

295
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: That's what they say when things don't go anyway, you

296
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: fall back to your fundamentals and your training. Well, my

297
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: training is you wake up a certain time every day.

298
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: You do this with a certain time every day, Like

299
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: you build a routine, right, So like that prepared me

300
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: for everything as an adult male, right, and everything that

301
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: I went through from getting cut all the times to

302
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: the ACL to where I am today, right prepared me

303
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: for the good and the bad. So like I wouldn't

304
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: be here without that. I can firmly and you know

305
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: say that, and like one day when I have my

306
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: own family, my kids will be raised in the same

307
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 2: way because it translates so much into your day life.

308
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: Jereed Man, I love talking to you, brother man. It's

309
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:03,680

Speaker 1: These great things we have going on.

378
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: But I'd like to start from the jump, right I

379
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: said it a D three athlete, you go into the

380
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: sixth round to the NFL.

381
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: Man, Nothing is promised when you're a D one athlete.

382
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: Definitely not when you're a D three athlete.

383
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: Pier So, first question for you, when did you know

384
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 3: that you were going to have a career in the NFL.

385
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: When did it hit you? Was it during that time

386
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: in college?

387
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 4: I know, honestly, when I realized I would have a

388
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: cruise career in the NFL is probably like after my

389
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: second or third year, once I kind of understood the job,

390
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 4: because you know, it gets repetitive after a while. But

391
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 4: you know, the first three years, you know, you're just

392
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 4: hoping you can help the team because I was playing

393
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 4: special team. My first year, I didn't play at all,

394
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 4: mostly special teams, and in my second year I was

395
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: into the offense. But you know, nothing's guaranteed, you know,

396
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 4: injuries happen, teams loses, coaches changes. You really don't know

397
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 4: if you have a career because you know it's up

398
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 4: in the air every every Sunday, every week.

399
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: And you said it was that second or third year.

400
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 3: Was there a moment that you could recollect where you're like, Yo,

401
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 3: this is when I knew, I man, this is real,

402
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: Like I'm really gonna be here. This isn't gonna be

403
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: for a short time. This is gonna be for a

404
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: long time.

405
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

406
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 5: I got lucky. You know. My second year I was

407
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 5: in India and we went to the Super Bowl.

408
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 4: So that gave me all the confidence I need to

409
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: play football for the rest of my life. And you know,

410
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: once you got that fire behind you, you think you

411
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 4: can do anything and everything. And that's what a few

412
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: of me, and they kept me playing hard, honestly.

413
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you win a super Bowl.

414
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: You have a lot of success those first I believe,

415
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: four years in Indianapolis. Then you decided to come to Washington.

416
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: I'm sure the bag helps. You got to a nice

417
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: little bag to come here. What goes into that decision making?

418
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 3: Because again, you already found success, you already found a home.

419
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: What makes you want to change it up.

420
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 5: Honestly, it is the team that wants you.

421
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 4: The coaches, Mike Shanahan and Cayles Shannon, they were the

422
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: first to call me. They say, hey, we want to

423
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 4: get you the ball. We want you to run after

424
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: the catch, and this is what we expect from you here.

425
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: I was like, all right, hey, I jumped on the

426
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 4: plane that same day to Atlanta, but landsdown and you know,

427
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: just it was this all she wrote, And it was

428
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 4: the best decision I ever made.

429
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: Honestly too.

430
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: Did you at the time, what was your expectations coming

431
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: into here? How much did you know about the Burgundy

432
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 3: and goal before you made that decision to sign here.

433
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: I knew about the team, but not much, you know

434
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 4: after that. You know, obviously we were Santanna, you know,

435
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 4: we know we do you know players, but like you know,

436
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 4: it wasn't a playoff team, you know, so you know,

437
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 4: I knew the location, didn't know exactly where in the

438
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: DMV the Redskins was at, but you know, I was like,

439
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 4: I'm coming, I'll figure it out as I go.

440
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 3: Did you now I'm trying to get the timing right.

441
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: Did you already know that you would be playing with

442
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback. When you got in did you have

443
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 3: a feeling? Did you sign before or after they ended

444
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: up doing the draft? I can't remember it was it.

445
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 4: Was before the draft, but you kind of have an

446
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 4: idea because the team is setting out the plays in

447
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 4: motion right after you know, the combine, and you know

448
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 4: even during the season, you kind of know who has

449
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 4: the picks and stuff like that, so you kind of

450
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 4: have an idea of what's going to happen after they

451
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: signed their free.

452
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 5: Agents, M and so you but you have an idea.

453
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 5: We don't know who exactly, So we.

454
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Have an idea. We know they're we have an idea.

455
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: Andrew it was Andrew luck in RG three, and coach

456
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 4: were like, hey, we're going to take Andrew Luckett in

457
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 4: you know, the second big big RG three.

458
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 2: I was like, all right ya.

459
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 4: Everything else goes on, you know how it goes on.

460
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 4: But things change leading up to the draft too.

461
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: Is that just a coincidence? Is it circumstance?

462
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: Because again, you're on the team that's going to get

463
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 3: the number one pick, but then you're talking to the

464
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 3: team that's going to have the number two pick. We

465
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 3: have an idea it's going to be quarterback both ways?

466
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 3: Does that play into your decision making at all? Knowing,

467
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 3: hey I could play with an Andrew Luck or I

468
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: can play with a RG three.

469
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 4: Right, it can't play your decision depending on you know,

470
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 4: the player, the position, the years. You know, everything has

471
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 4: a minor factor on it. But you know, we can't

472
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 4: control everything. We just have to agree on the big things.

473
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: And that's where it was easy for Washington. It was like, hey,

474
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 4: they're the first team to call me, Like freeency opens up.

475
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 4: Back then, this freeiency opens up. There was no pre

476
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 4: tampering player. It's like, hey, two o'clock, freezy opens up.

477
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 4: You know, it's a free for all after that. But

478
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 4: they were the first team to call me. We had

479
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 4: on the phone, we kind of have an idea. So

480
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 4: it was like, hey, we want you here. This is

481
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 4: all role we have for you.

482

Speaker 5: How do you feel about it? And I was like, hey,

00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 5: let's do it.

484
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 4: I don't I don't want to wait and not have

485
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 4: a team. I'm ready to go. You know, let's get

486
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 4: this part out of it so we can get on

487
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 4: the field.

488
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 3: And it's crazy because when you signed here, the energy

489
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 3: around the building, the energy around this team was very

490
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 3: similar to what we're feeling today, right, We got a

491
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 3: rookie quarterback. Folks are feeling playoff hopes, you know, and

492
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 3: things like that. And you were a big part of

493
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 3: that and that success. Can you tell us what it

494
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 3: was like for you coming here that first year and

495
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: playing around such excitement.

496
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 4: Ah, Man, it was. It was it confirmed my decision,

497
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 4: man Man. I was excited, the team was excited, the

498
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 4: city was excited. We had a plan going into the season,

499
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 4: and you know, honestly, we did better than we expected

500
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 4: because we didn't know our office would be just good.

501
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 4: You know, Rchi three, we knew he could be a

502
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 4: problem with his feet, but we didn't know Alfred Morris

503
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 4: would be running the ball the way he did. You know,

504
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 4: we didn't know the offense line would be doing as

505
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 4: well as they did. And it was. It was a

506
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 4: great feeling and there was a lot of and.

507
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 5: It's easy to play.

508
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: We have a lot of energy behind you, with the

509
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: fans truly loving the team.

510
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: As a veteran receiver coming in.

511
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 3: Of course, there was other veterans receivers here as well,

512
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: but you have a Super Bowl into your belt.

513
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: You played with Peyton Manning.

514
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 3: What was those conversations like with a rookie quarterback, where

515
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: like were you mentoring him?

516
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: Were you helping him up?

517
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 3: How were you able to help ease a rookie quarterback

518
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: into the NFL?

519
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you try to make it easier on the quarterback,

520
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: you know, just give you a chance with the ball.

521
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 4: You know, you got to make the tough catches so that,

522
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 4: you know, everybody build their confidence. And as a veteran player,

523
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 4: it's always up to you to make the tough place

524
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 4: so that the younger guys can see it and try

525
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: to emulate that. So it was easy for me to like, hey,

526
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 4: just give me an opportunity, and I'm gonna do whatever

527
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 4: it takes, you know, to catch the ball, to get

528
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 4: more yards, to you know, get the first out of

529
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 4: keeping dropt on, because that was that was our job.

530
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 3: And outside of Santana, who I get to work with

531
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: and talk to a lot, there's not a lot of

532
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 3: people that can speak to that transition that happened when

533
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 3: y'all went from RG three him getting hurt to Kirk Cousins.

534
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: And I remember the draft being like, yo, why take

535
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks so high like that? You know, you got

536
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 3: a number two guy, and then you go get another

537
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 3: quarterback who could easily start as well for you as

538
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 3: a receiver. What was it like when y'all made that

539
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: transition from Rgi through to Kirk cousins A.

540
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 4: You know, well, the transition wasn't easy. But we know

541
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 4: Kirk is gonna stay in the pocket. Robert, you know,

542
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 4: he's gonna run, he goes, He's trying to try to

543
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 4: stand the play. Kirk's gonna try to stay in the pocket.

544
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 4: So we knew that. We knew, like it's more of

545
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 4: a you know, a three step, five step, seven step.

546
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 4: We kind of knew that Hey wants to play breaks down.

547
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 4: You know, the boss coming out. It's coming out quick, Rober.

548
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 4: We're gonna try extend. We're gonna try to break it

549
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 4: because you know, he has that extra ability and we're

550
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 4: gonna use it to our advantage because you know, the

551
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 4: defense don't want.

552
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 5: To defend that.

553
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: They rather defend us than try to chase the quarterback

554
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 4: all day. So we knew that we had that as

555
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 4: an advance. So we call different plays. We call things

556
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 4: that can help us, you know, and help Robert and

557
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 4: help the offense with the extra streight that we got.

558
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 3: And then you get to line up next to one

559
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 3: of the best to ever do it. Sure we can

560
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: agree in Santana mass Man, I've never met a brother

561
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: like Santana.

562
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure he was the same that he is now

563
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: as he was on that field.

564
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: When you think about lining up against somebody that is

565
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: one of the greatest to ever play the position. Man,

566
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 3: what are some memories you could give us playing next

567
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 3: to Santana mass Ah.

568
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 4: Man, You know, I've been washing Stann alone before I

569
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 4: knew Santana because you know, I'm from South Florida. He

570
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 4: went to University of Miami. He's from South Florida, and

571
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 4: he's been making those plays that he played in the

572
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 4: league in college, and you know, he was he was

573
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 4: the heartbeat of Washington because we knew that guy was

574
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 4: going to get the ball. He was going to try

575
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: to take it to the house air every time, and

576
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 4: he has the speed to do it. And as a receiver,

577
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 4: that's what you always want to do. You want to

578
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 4: be a big play guy, and Santana always was that.

579
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 4: And you knew every time he had the fall it

580
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: was a chance that he was going to go. He

581
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 4: was going to it, so you know it was it

582
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 4: was a blessing and you know, learned a lot from him.

583
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 4: I actually, you know, when I first came over, I

584
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: was talking to Santana. I was like, you know, how

585
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,959
Speaker 4: come you don't spin the ball? No, more like, not

586
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,400
Speaker 4: how come we don't spend the ball, but like, how

587
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: do you spin the ball? Because he spin the ball

588
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 4: without effort. And we spent a couple of months practicing it,

589
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: and I finally mastered and I started doing in the game.

590
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 5: But it was being how much to him.

591
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 4: Because you know, he's a talented guy, and you know,

592
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: you always want to see guys like that too well,

593
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 4: and he was a guy. Once he get the ball

594
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 4: in his head, you knew he was trying to score.

595
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 4: And I was trying to stimulate that.

596
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 1: He's funny.

597
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: Even in the studio, he still spins that ball and

598
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 3: it'll just keep standing up. Man, he has not lost

599
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: in touch at all. And you're somebody coming with that

600
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: Super Bowl experience. However, Satana has a few years on you.

601
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: What did you learn from a guy like Santana? And

602
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 3: you know, we hear a lot about that iron sharpening iron.

603
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: I feel like it was very true with both of

604
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 3: you guys.

605
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 4: Man, you know, Honestly, as you get older, Santana, the

606
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,679
Speaker 4: older guys, they teach you how to stay around longer.

607
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 4: They teach you how to prepare for practice, prepare for games,

608
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: have your body massage and well taken care of so

609
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 4: that you can, you know, play eleven years, twelve years,

610
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 4: and you know you can be effective in the fourth quarter,

611
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 4: and you know you can be better for your team

612
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 4: because honestly, you have to perform and you never know

613
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen.

614
00:23:58,800 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 5: In Santana was always prepared.

615
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 4: You always had us prepared, and you know it shows

616
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 4: when you play for a long time.

617
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 3: And Pierre, we're talking about two of the best receivers

618
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 3: to play in the Burgundy and go right now.

00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: Man, if you had to put together the top five

622
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 3: list of Washington wide receivers the list, brother, ain't ain't

623
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: no judgment over here. Who would you put on that

624
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 3: top five list?

625
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 5: You know, I haven't done enough research.

626
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: That's a tough one. Top three, let's do top three.

627
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 5: You know Art Monk is number one, Tantana.

628
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 4: You know it's up dann it And honestly, man, you

629
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 4: know I didn't play in Washington long enough, you know,

630
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 4: you know, see, I don't want to leave nobody out

631
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 4: because you know there's the old glue guys, and I

632
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 4: haven't paid that much attention to those over there.

633
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 3: The fans aren't gonna judge you, brother, it's your list

634
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 3: is now. You know they're going up on you.

635
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 5: I'm not indicated though, but it was.

636
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 4: You know they have now IM not even making me

637
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 4: go way back to try to try to come, but

638
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 4: I you know it's tough, man. Yeah, it's top two

639
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 4: are sealed and then the rest. I think you guys

640
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 4: can coolly cooly, COOLi.

641
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 3: Coolly okay cool, throw the tight end and now okay,

642
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: there you go.

643
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 4: I'm not educated enough on the Washington history enough to

644
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 4: know like all the great receivers that came out of there.

645
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: Okay, well I got another tough one for you.

646
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: Then for you, just a European who was the toughest

647
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: defensive back you lined up against in your career because

648
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: you saw some.

649
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 4: Dogs, toughest dB obviously the reason was tough and Patrick Peterson,

650
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 4: those guys they play man and man and they locked

651
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 4: you know, the guys up individually, and you know it's

652
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: easier for.

653
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 5: A receiver to play against that.

654
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 4: But those guys are always like the quarterbacks don't want

655
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: to go towards them when they know they're playing man

656
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 4: and man on a certain individual. So but those guys

657
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 4: will get respected because it's different between playing man and

658
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 4: man in a zone defense where you just stay on

659
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 4: one side of the fielding. You get help with the

660
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: d ns and the outside linebackers and stuff like that.

661
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 4: But you know, man, the man you give respected and

662
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: Patrick Peterson Revus, those guys played Antonio Comarti, you know, shoot,

663
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 4: Brent Grimes was one on one guy. It was a

664
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 4: lot of guys that played good defense and man de

665
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 4: man defense to get more respecting soon defense.

666
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: Man.

667
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 3: You mentioned those lists of guys, so it's even more

668
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 3: impressive to see what you were able to do during

669
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 3: your time here, because yeah, you weren't here forever, but

670
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 3: this was your most successful outside of the Super Bowl.

671
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 3: This was your most successful stitt in the NFL being here.

672
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 3: So I have to ask because I've asked Tanna this,

673
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: I've asked all the legends of this. I'm like, y'all

674
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: are from different places, y'all have played on different teams,

675
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,439
Speaker 3: but for some reason, the DMV always ends up feeling

676
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 3: like home and always ends up being what brings you

677
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 3: guys back here. So Pierre, what about the Burgundy and

678
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,680

00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:49,480

700
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 3: of the legends of the game and you were all

701

706
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,080

Speaker 5: And we had a.

737
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 4: Lot of great times, honestly, man, it was a lot

738
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 4: of great times in Washington. But you know, obviously the

739
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 4: first win was the big one, like, hey, we didn't

740
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 4: know what we're gonna be, what we're gonna do. That

741
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: first win was like, hey, we can do anything and everything.

742
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 4: That was a great time, you know, beating Philadelphia, you know,

743
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 4: at home, it was a game winning touchdown, Kirk threw

744
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 4: it to me. We beat Tampa Bay coming back from

745
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 4: a lot with Kirk said you liked that. That was

746
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 4: a crazy moment beating Minnesota one night when rgg RG three.

747
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 5: Took the roof off the place.

748
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 4: Late games games actually in Dallas took days given days.

749
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 4: It was a lot more Redskins fans in Dallas that

750
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 4: that night, that game.

751
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 5: Then, you know, we expected.

752
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of great moments, a lot of

753
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 4: great memories going to the playoffs.

754
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 5: You know, shit, we all worked hard.

755
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 4: For those moments, and you know it was just want

756
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 4: and done, but we were happy to like build something

757
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 4: and it was good times, man, and I still enjoy

758
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 4: and think about it now.

759
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 3: And it's funny because you were part of an era

760
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 3: of Burnie and Gold that I think the last time

761
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: the fans were really happy and.

762
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: Excited was then.

763
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 3: Now we look at this team right now and a

764
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: lot of that excitement has to do with another working

765
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: quarterback in Jade and Daniels. When you see Jade and

766
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 3: Daniels out there playing and doing his thing and what

767
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 3: he's been able to do not only for this team,

768
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 3: before this entire city, the entire DMV.

769
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Man, what do you feel, what do you think? I

770
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: know that has to be proude there.

771
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 5: Ah, very very proud man. I'm happy.

772
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 4: I hope we keep him for fifteen years, eighteen years.

773
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 4: He's a thrower where he's a great quarterback. You know,

774
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 4: he's making plays, he's winning games. You know, it's it's

775
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 4: what you want in a quarterback. And he prepares for

776
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 4: every game and that's that's that's the love that you

777
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 4: know he's gonna receive because he's always playing well.

778
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 5: He's always doing the right things, and the city loves that.

779
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: And he's I'm excited for the future because he's only

780
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 4: gonna get better and we're gonna give him more weapons

781
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 4: around him, so you know, he's he I'm excited for him.

782
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 4: I'm excited for her because he's a natural thrower too.

783
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 4: He's a quarterback. You know, he'd run with the ball,

784
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: but he doesn't need to run. He can throw it.

785
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 4: And he throws a good deep fall too. It's always

786
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 4: a threat.

787
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 3: What's like RG three had, he has him a dog

788
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 3: and a weapon and once and Terry mcclum man, I

789
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: know you're.

790
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: A big fan of him, said Tanner is a big

791
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: fan of him.

792
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 3: Talk about once a little bit and just what you've

793
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: seen with all of his longevity. I think this game.

794
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: This last game, he got his fourth one hundred plus

795
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: yard game. That's just in this season. Talk about Terry

796
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: a little bit.

797
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 5: Oh, Terry is a great player.

798
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 4: Man. His focus is concentration because man, he know, he

799
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 4: puts his body on the line. They're throwing the ball wherever,

800
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,720
Speaker 4: and he's just focusing on the ball and going to

801
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 4: get it. And you know, as a receiver, that's one

802
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 4: of the most important things because you know you can

803
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 4: lose track of things right on the field, but you

804
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 4: can tell Terry's focus. You know, it's all about football

805
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 4: to the man, and that's one of the best things

806
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: you have as.

807
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 5: A leader on the team.

808
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

809
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 5: Especially helps for a young young quarterback too.

810
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: Oh man, for sure.

811
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 4: Man.

812
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: And then it was so much excitement around this team.

813
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 3: There's so many great things and we love having the

814
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: legends back in the fold really showing love. And man,

815
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 3: nobody better talk about the Philadelphia Eagles and you you

816
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 3: don't have so battles with the Eagles, Man, Can you

817
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: paint a picture to us on why these games? Because

818
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 3: we know the Dallas, we know New York, but something

819
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 3: about Philly feels a little contentious. There's a little bit

820
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 3: of extra animosity there. What about these games are so important.

821
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 5: And you know it's like it's like it's like you know,

822
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 5: it's it's a rival a game.

823
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 4: It's like the team across town, Like, hey, our fans

824
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 4: are better than your fans. Our players and our quarterbacks

825
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 4: better your r I running back, it's better your runn back,

826
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: I receive your receiver. Everything is compared against them because

827
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 4: they're so close and it's a divisional game. You know

828
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 4: this dictates, you know, if you get a first round

829
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 4: by or if you get a home game, or if

830
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 4: you're on the road, because the visual games are important

831
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 4: and we need to beat them twice because they can't

832
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 4: get hot. We don't want that, but we need to

833
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 4: like definitely definitely get on them early and often because

834
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 4: it could get ugly. We don't want their fans to

835
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 4: get them extra right, we that crossed our rivale. It's

836
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 4: always a new, new new game and like nothing else

837
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 4: back then, matter is everything.

838
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 5: What's next on the next Thursday night game?

839
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 4: I think it is so who those games are important

840
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 4: and they're so.

841
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,160
