We have always had this great, 90 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 8: very close connected friendship, and I think that's one of 91 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 8: the cool things about our generation is oftentimes you are 92 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 8: compartmentalized on a football team based on the positions you played, 93 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 8: and there wasn't a lot of that with Washington the 94 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 8: Redskins back then. We were not compartmentalized. We were all connected, 95 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 8: and so I was very connected with Darryl. 96 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 7: I was very connected with. 97 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 8: Art Monk and with Charles Mann and Monte Coleman and 98 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 8: of course all the guys that I played with on 99 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 8: the Hogs. But my wife and Daryl's wife Jewele have 100 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 8: been fast friends and we essentially, you know, helped raise 101 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 8: the kids, and so we're a very connected family. And 102 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 8: you know, to the point where their daughters used to 103 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 8: come to our house in Colorado for Thanksgiving and leave 104 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 8: the parents behind, so just before they had families. So 105 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 8: just a very connected group. We've always been that way. 106 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 8: And you know, I just I'll remember back to my 107 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 8: rookie year where like Mini camp, we're running forties for 108 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 8: Lord only knows what reason on Sunday, after three days 109 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 8: of practice in a sheeting rainstorm, you know, where everybody's 110 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 8: got wet, sloppy cleats. 111 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 7: We just practiced, you know, won our first practice. 112 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 5: And like the whole team would wind up. 113 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 8: To watch Darryl Green run as forty and like I remember, 114 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 8: like it was yesterday.

And it's happening to go usually fast, yes, 175 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 8: but you talk to dan Quinn and it happened unusually fast, 176 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 8: but there's an intentionality there. And that's the reason it 177 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 8: happens so fast is there are non negotiables here. We 178 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 8: are gonna play hard for one another, we are gonna 179 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 8: sacrifice from one another. We are gonna, you know, we're 180 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 8: gonna have this attention to detail. And if dan Quinn 181 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 8: was here and you cut off the mics, he would 182 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 8: tell you we're not as talented as we need to be, 183 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 8: but we have those other things, those intangible aspects to 184 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 8: a football team that make that football team great. And 185 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 8: that's something we have here, and it's something that's non negotiable. 186 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 8: And then you know, it's really cool for me to 187 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 8: watch guys like Cliff Kingsbury who brought in this air 188 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 8: raid system into the league in Arizona and you know, 189 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 8: had some success early but it kind of fell apart. 190 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 8: And to watch him get boot out of the league, 191 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 8: which all of us get fired eventually, right, but to 192 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 8: watch him embrace that, to take some time away from 193 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 8: that and to say, what do I need to do 194 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 8: to take what I know and what I can lean 195 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 8: into and what I really like, what I really have 196 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 8: been passionate about my whole career and add to it 197 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 8: and create some something that's better, that's more adaptable to 198 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 8: NFL style of football. And then to go out and 199 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 8: find an Anthony Lynn and to revamp the you know, 200 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 8: the run game coordinator, former head coach, former teammate of 201 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 8: mine in Denver, and to connect with him to establish 202 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 8: a running game and then you know, and then change 203 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 8: personnel from offensive line to get tight ends. It can 204 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 8: really block to condensed formations. To understand the value of 205 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 8: being under center, even though I have a young quarterback 206 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 8: where the whole college game is shotgun, and to understand that, 207 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,719 Speaker 8: hey man, shotgun has its place, it also has its limitations. 208 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 8: From a you know, limiting maybe thirty forty percent of 209 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 8: your run game and you don't have your back turn 210 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 8: to the defense on play action, so you don't get 211 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 8: the same reaction. And like to watch him amalgamate these 212 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 8: two you know, kind of systems together and watch that 213 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 8: stuff like really grow and then to watch a young 214 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 8: quarterback just absolutely flourish in that. And I know people 215 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 8: here in the DMV are so excited. They should be 216 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 8: because he is that kid.

All, don't ry about. You're good. 346 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 5: Yeah good. He ran it for one night. 347 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 10: But going to battle with Darrel, you know, he he 348 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 10: he knows how to keep you level, you know, without 349 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 10: you know, panicking, getting into just getting to. 350 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 5: The game, you know. And the stuff he does. 351 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 10: Don't believe while I was there when he ran that 352 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 10: ball back against the Bears, hurt his ribs and he 353 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 10: ran that back and stuff, and but he's always been 354 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 10: there as a big brother, confident and things like that. 355 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 10: And if you see a guy like that, that's small 356 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 10: to me. He was small because I was a strong 357 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 10: safety linebacker. And so I'm saying, if he's going at 358 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 10: it hard, I'm gonna go at it heart. 359 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 5: So it's nothing I can do too. So he learned 360 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 5: a lot. He's a good, good family man too. It's 361 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: a good friend. Went to the church together. 362 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 10: He always will challenge you, make you challenge yourself, you know, 363 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 10: to doing the right thing and all those things in it. 364 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 2: As you think back to that time, the glory era 365 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: of the team. How do you think about it now 366 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 2: and and what made you so successful at the time. 367 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 10: Wow, I'll say it's I watched these guys now. We 368 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 10: were so prepared. We had Richie Pettibone as a defensive coordinator. 369 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,119 Speaker 10: I don't think Joe could have done it without I 370 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 10: know he couldn't have done it without him, because on 371 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 10: both sides of the ball and special teams, we were 372 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 10: well prepared. We worked hard, we pushed each other. We 373 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 10: won most of our games in practice. You know, I 374 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 10: can't tell people. I tell people this there. You're not 375 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 10: gonna turn it on on game day. If you're not 376 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 10: doing it in practice, you're not making the players. You 377 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 10: not have guys coming at you hard. I'm talking the 378 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 10: scout team. You We would challenge each other in practice. 379 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 10: Who was challenging us so hard? Certain teams we played 380 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 10: they were intimidated by us. I'll tell you example. We 381 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 10: had a guy named Rob Johnson who played for the Rams. 382 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 5: We really ran the track. 383 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 10: Guy Dar'll end up running them down, but I know 384 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 10: he used to catch the ball. I was gonna kick 385 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 10: off cover. So Wayne Severe as the coach, he goes. 386 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 6: This guy he'll come out of here two yards and 387 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 6: he'll run the ball out. 388 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 5: He'll run out of the zos. 389 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 10: So you gotta get down there, guys on their veil, 390 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 10: I say, what okay, So we're all all pissing us off. 391 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,880 Speaker 10: So we go to l we running down there. It's 392 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 10: someone gun catch the ball in two yards and endzo. 393 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 10: I'm running down the railroad tracks to hash. He takes 394 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 10: a knee. I'm like you, that just ran all the 395 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 10: way down here, he goes. 396 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 11: I watched the film. I saw the film. I said, okay, 397 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 11: I just started laughing, he said. He said, it's a 398 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 11: business decision. I'm not coming out of here. I'm not 399 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 11: running out of the enzone. I saw you guys, how 400 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 11: you hit it anyway. So you can see teams, and 401 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,160 Speaker 11: you can see the physicality that we had in our 402 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 11: practice and in the game and stuff like that. So 403 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 11: what really helped us, Like I said, we challenge each other. 404 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 11: And I think these kids right now are on the 405 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 11: same path. 406 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 10: They just stay focused on what they gotta do and 407 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 10: execute their plays. And the coaches put these guys in 408 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 10: the right position where they can play, where they can 409 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 10: make a play. That's all you can ask you can 410 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 10: only do your job in your position at that time. Man, 411 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 10: everybody has to be successful on every give and play. 412 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 10: Eleven guys have to be successful. If one or two 413 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 10: guys drop off, you know it's not good, and then 414 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 10: we don't beat them up, but they know that's unacceptable. 415 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 10: You don't have to have the coach tell you that 416 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 10: I know and stuff like that. I hate it Monday's game. 417 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 10: It wasn't the coach. 418 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 5: The players and did the coaches, So it's terrible. So 419 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 5: you don't want to have that. 420 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 2: Claires, is a pleasure meeting you.

Is that the proper terminology for 424 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: the replacement team? 425 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 8: Now? 426 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: Nice to have you here, Thank you for having me. 427 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: What do you remember about that about that time? 428 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 6: Well, like everybody's been saying, he was above the above, 429 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 6: he was one of the great from day one when 430 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 6: he got here. But I saw him as a teenager 431 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 6: in Houston, Texas because he used to work for my uncle. 432 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 6: I'll come from Mobile, Alabama, and I see this little 433 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 6: skinny kid to me, he's gonna make it to the 434 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 6: league and he's super fast and all this. I'm like, whatever, 435 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 6: I'm a stud of an athlete.

He hired the kids 444 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 6: in the neighborhood to do different odd jobs the corner store, 445 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 6: the fish market, cutting grass and stuff like that. But 446 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 6: Darren was always around my uncle Joe, and he was like, 447 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 6: here's what pro athletes were like, talking about me and 448 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 6: my brother not knowing that, you know, years later I 449 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 6: was see Darrel in nineteen eighty seven with the Redskins. 450 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: Did he find out whatever Daryl did he could do quickly? 451 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: Probably yes. 452 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 6: But Darrel's like, say, his belief was even back then 453 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,439 Speaker 6: when he said he found God when he got to 454 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 6: the college.

It's pleasure media here, thank 538 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: you all right here with the great Vernon Dean. You 539 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,360 Speaker 2: were a roommate of Daryl Breed, a young Darryl green right. 540 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 2: Absolutely tell me about that experience with him. 541 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: So it's really like for us, it's normal. You go 542 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: to camp, you get a room, mane. But I knew 543 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: Darryl was special. And if Virgil's c coming here and 544 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,719 Speaker 1: he talked to you, he'll tell you why. We all 545 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 1: knew very Daryl was special. The first player one on ones, 546 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: Daryl fell down on his face and got up forty 547 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: oars down the field, broke to pass up. First day 548 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 1: ever going against the veterans, ever in minicamp rookie year. Ever, 549 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: that was my first time seeing him do anything. Ever, 550 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: so we all all knew he was special at that time. 551 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: But going forward, when we were roommates, it was you know, 552 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: I mean, were just ballers, man, and we're trying to 553 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: trying to compass the same goal. 554 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 2: When you see him do that in practice, does everyone 555 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: kind of stop and go. That's not supposed to happen. 556 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: There's always a wild factor and you say, that's why 557 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: we're here. Yeah, but some other some some other people 558 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 1: have more wild factors than others. And I and I 559 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: can say Daryl had more wild factors than a lot 560 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: of us, because honestly, I had no idea what he 561 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: did on Monday night his rookie year. He was gonna 562 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: do it none And he said this all the time. 563 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: Had I gotten out the way, he might have called 564 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: twenty quicker because I was on the field. The guy 565 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: that he ran past, the last to catch him. 566 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 2: That was me. 567 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 5: So there are those wild factors. He just had more 568 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 5: wild factors than anybody. 569 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: Else heard it. What did it mean to you to 570 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: play for this organization? They drafted me. 571 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: I was a first pick in nineteen eighty two. Fortunately, 572 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: Bobby Bethter saw something in me that at the time 573 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 1: twenty seven other teams didn't see, and he chose me 574 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: to come in this organization and when I got here, 575 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: I knew it was a great organization from top to 576 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: bottom because I just. 577 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 2: Saw the commitment from the head coach. 578 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: Not only him, but the ownership management general manager Bobby Betha. 579 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: By the way, he was outstanding general management. I mean 580 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,760 Speaker 1: because he found he found gyms under a carpet on 581 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: the stones. That's how you found Daryl Green and so 582 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,159 Speaker 1: so you know, I was blessed and fortunate to have 583 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: an opportunity to come and play for this organization burning It. 584 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: Was a pleasure. Thank you so much, man, appreciding Man, 585 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 2: it's a former safety of the Washington franchise Ken Coffee, 586 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 2: played in the nineteen eighties and with Darryl Green. That's it, right, 587 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 2: And the first time you got together with Daryl or 588 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 2: knew of Daryl, was actually way before you played together 589 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: in the NFL. 590 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: Right. 591 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, We competed against each other in college and Darryl 592 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 10: ruined our perfect season, our national championship season. What I 593 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 10: didn't share with you is we were undefeated last regular 594 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 10: season game of the season, and our district had our 595 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 10: Comforence had Alvin Garrett who played at Angelo State. They 596 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 10: had won the national championship, they had Abalaine Christian Wilbert 597 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 10: Montgomery had won the championship the year before. Texas A 598 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 10: and I had won the national championship numerous years. We 599 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 10: were that kind of team and we felt that good 600 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 10: about it. And Darryl and Texas A and I rolled 601 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 10: in and they ruined our perfect season for us. We 602 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 10: still won the national championship, but they ruined the perfect season. 603 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 10: And what I didn't share with you is the very 604 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 10: last play of the game was a flea flicker where 605 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 10: we tossed the ball to Ricky Sanders. 606 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 2: Huh. 607 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 10: Daryl was on the other side, And to this day, 608 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 10: I maintained that Ricky would have outrun Darryl if they 609 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 10: wouldn't have whistled the ball dead. 610 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if you've seen Darryl run. I'm not 611 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 2: sure if you're right about that. 612 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 5: From this is my story, I'm sticking with it. 613 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: You know now it makes me believe that the secret 614 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 2: of the teams in the eighties and nineties was it 615 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 2: Bobby Bethardo, Joe Gibbs. It was somewhere in Texas under 616 00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 2: the radar football players. 617 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting you say that. 618 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 10: Every time I see Mark Moseley, I hug him and 619 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 10: tell him you're the only MVP of the league's been 620 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 10: a kicker. Like I just love neat things like that, 621 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 10: and I love the environment that Joe and Bobby created 622 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 10: that would allow Daryl will tell his own story. But 623 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 10: I just get amazed that the number of people who 624 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 10: passed him off is too small or not experienced enough. 625 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 10: I mean, the hometown university that was in his neighborhood 626 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 10: by passed him twice. Make sure you have him tell 627 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 10: you that story. But at the end of the day, 628 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 10: you can look at it and it just becomes an 629 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 10: inspiration to us. So if we keep trying, if we 630 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 10: keep plugging, we can do some great things in life. 631 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 2: Did you know when you played against him in college 632 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 2: that he could be what he ended up being in 633 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: the NFL. 634 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 10: No, no, no, And that's not any disrespect to him. 635 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 10: I knew he was extremely talented, but we're talking about 636 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 10: twenty years and we're talking about his ability. I saw 637 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 10: Harold Carma Carmichael a couple of months ago, and occasionally, 638 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 10: you know, five foot nine Darryl would cover six six 639 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 10: Harrold Carmichael. And if that isn't a Mutton Jeff mismatch 640 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 10: I don't know what it is, and yet Darrel was 641 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 10: able to hold his own. So I just think what 642 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 10: people didn't see about Darryl, about Vernon, about a lot 643 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 10: of us, it's just how hard he worked, how he 644 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 10: continues to work. 645 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 5: He's in fantastic shape. But there's. 646 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 10: If you understand his discipline with his diet and the 647 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 10: fact that he goes out and runs like he's thirty 648 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 10: years old and he's trying to make his last season. 649 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 5: It's not a surprise. 650 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: No, you played in the Glory era. What do you 651 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,840 Speaker 2: think of what you see right now with the Commanders? 652 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 10: You know, I am so happy for coach Quinn and 653 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,840 Speaker 10: the team. It's it's easy, you know, to point to 654 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 10: number five and say, you know, it's on your back 655 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 10: and not taking anything away from him. But what what 656 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 10: the organization has to do is create an environment where 657 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 10: players can be the best that they can possibly be. 658 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 5: And that just doesn't happen with one person. 659 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 10: It is literally one of my enduring images is seeing 660 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 10: Rick Walker and Monty Coleman in camp going ahead to head. 661 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 5: And it was like this, this was my first training 662 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 5: camp and. 663 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 10: I'm telling you Brown that was like raging bulls and 664 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 10: Yellowstone or something like that. 665 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 2: It was just I knew I had to step up 666 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: my game and or I mean, the story of those 667 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: teams really are the team, the players where they came from. 668 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: You had good quarterbacks, you had good coaching, you had stars. Yeah, 669 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: but it was the team. 670 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 5: Oh it was. It was absolutely the team. 671 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:09,640 Speaker 10: And you know, my greatest joy about all this is is, 672 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 10: unfortunately for the individuals, we actually ended up cutting you know, 673 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 10: second and third round players the first season because they. 674 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 5: Weren't as good. 675 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:25,239 Speaker 10: And that went directly to the bottom line of you know, 676 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 10: paying a signing bonus in some cases of you know, 677 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 10: a couple hundred thousand dollars or whatever. But you know, 678 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 10: Joe gibbstood on the fact that they weren't the best 679 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 10: forty five at the time on the team, and that's 680 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 10: what we were going to go to battle with every week, weekend, 681 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 10: and week out. That's what we were going to battle with. 682 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 10: I remember one year we went to Green Bay. It 683 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 10: was freezing. It was the coldest game that I've ever 684 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 10: played in my life. And we had two guys who got. 685 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 5: Signed in the middle of the year. 686 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 10: They were from the South and they just didn't understand 687 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 10: how cold they could get in Green Bay. Bottom line 688 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 10: is they really didn't lead the heaters on the sideline, 689 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 10: and the next day they were cut. And Joe's point was, Hey, 690 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 10: if I can't count on you to show up in 691 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 10: a regular season when it's tough, what makes what makes 692 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 10: me think that you're gonna be tough in Chicago, in Dallas, 693 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 10: in New York when we need you? 694 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:21,799 Speaker 9: And so. 695 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,759 Speaker 10: Maybe Darwinian, but I love the fact that I was 696 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,280 Speaker 10: there because I was the best at my position and 697 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 10: the guy to my right was the best, and the 698 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 10: left was my best and I knew it. 699 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 5: I knew it in my heart, just like they knew it. 700 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 2: Last thing.

I've been fired, 710 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 10: I knew that, you know, the sun would rise tomorrow 711 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 10: and I would be in a position to do something 712 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 10: great again.

I 774 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 12: think that's important because I'm also a follower of Christ, 775 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 12: my Lord and Savior of Jesus Christ. Number two. He 776 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 12: came from a small school, so that's something I can 777 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 12: resonate with. Coming from Norfolk State, there's always going to 778 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,479 Speaker 12: be a knock on a smaller school, telling people telling 779 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 12: you that you didn't play against the best competition. But 780 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 12: just looking at the Daryl Green's highlights over the years 781 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 12: and understanding that adversity. 782 00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 9: He've overcame in order to be to where he is today. 783 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 12: Such a blessing man, and that's something that's very admirable 784 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 12: and something that I looked up to as a former Redskin. 785 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:54,359 Speaker 2: I mean, comes, small school, small guy. Twenty years it's 786 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 2: really amazing. I mean it's almost mind boggling when you 787 00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 2: say it out loud. 788 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 9: Yeah, twenty years of anything is as nuts man. 789 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 12: He's definitely somebody that trained and worked on and off 790 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 12: the field just as hard as the next person, and 791 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 12: really took care of his body. The man's about sixty 792 00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 12: six right now. I'm constantly writing them on Instagram. And 793 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 12: for him to be so humble to take a youngin 794 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 12: like myself and write me back and just give me 795 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 12: words of wisdom, that's a blessing. But if you ever 796 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 12: see the videos that he's posting at about sixty six, 797 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 12: this man is still as fast as he probably want 798 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 12: us twenty years ago. 799 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 2: That's embarrassing actually for all of us.
